Episode Date: September 19, 2026

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he was "banning" CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, with more to come. Meanwhile, Trump’s aggressive push for AI and data centers is drawing unusual backlash from users on his own Truth Social platform, with many commenters criticizing his position on the technology.  Meanwhile, OpenAI has disclosed six new incidents involving concerning AI behavior, while Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna say they have secured enough support to force another House vote on releasing Jeffrey Epstein-related files.

You're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. Has just been, you know, not good. I'm so upset. Oh my God. Begathe. Turks, Jake, or John, I are all with you guys on a lovely Friday evening. And so John's, of course, hosts a damage report.

You're all already checking that out at 1 o'clock Eastern every day. So on tonight's show on the Young Turks, AI, the jury's come in for me and I will tell you if we're all going to die or not. And so that'll be interesting. I mean, I make predictions. That would be a hell of a prediction. All right. It's going to be one either way. All right.

So now on top of that, Donald Trump is, of course, decided that he's going to take on the media. I have some surprising questions, points about that. Fox News has decided they hate free speech. It's a nice turn. And then Israelis attack their own. No dissent or criticism is tolerated. And yes, they have accused Israeli Jewish citizens of tropes. Of course they have.

Because there's no bottom of that barrel. All right. Having said all that, let's get started. Donald Trump has decided to take out of the media, attack it, ban it, cancel it. That's, you know, he loves cancel culture, he's never been for freedom of speech. Wait a minute, I thought he ran on the opposite, but then on the other hand, didn't he run on the opposite on war and inflation and just about everything else? Debt. So CNN, MS now political banned from the White House.

Is that going to stick? Is he going to eat a taco later tonight? And my surprising point of view on that, drums. All right, John, tell us the whole story. I can't wait to find out what that's going to be. But yes, they are calling it the ultimate final form of free speech absolutism. The president doesn't like critical coverage, so off with all your heads. You all gotta get out of here.

So he posted this fundamentally unconstitutional thing to true social saying, I am proud to announce that effective immediately. I am banning fake news CNN, MSN, who recently changed the name from MSNBC due to lack of viewership and credibility and Politico, the recipients of an illegal and ridiculous $8 million subscription, an all-time record directly from the U.S. government under Crooked Joe Biden in order to keep them alive. Seems like corruption to me. I'm surprised he'd know he's never engaged, anything like that himself. From the White House, they're banned, as a result of their constant reporting fake news. And he goes on to say, media outlets shouldn't be able to constantly

write a report fiction and lies when they're covering the president of the United States. The the Trump administration or the US. Other fake news media outlets to follow, thank you for your attention to this matter. So look, everybody knows exactly what is going on here. Is it not about fake news, is not about them making up things. This is about critical coverage of a president who's doing a terrible job. And his approval ratings are going down, which he knows, despite him constantly

talking about those being fake too, if he thought that he was actually had a super high approval ratings, why would he care about the fake news? Evidently, it's not actually hurting his approval. No, he doesn't like accurate coverage. This is, it's obviously fundamentally anti-free speech. It's fascistic, whatever, it's Hungary coming to America. In any event, he sort of has to answer for it, and he's not going to have a lot of specifics because he probably came up with this a minute before posting an untrue social. But here is a reporter pushing back.

Earlier today you posted that you intend to ban CNN Politico and MS now from the White House. Yeah. Every president takes an oath to uphold the Constitution. which includes the First Amendment. I do too. Much more so than you, because they're fake news. Yeah, he got her there.

He takes more of an oath to uphold the Constitution than she does because that's not a thing that you swear on as a report. What are you talking about? What point do you think you're making in any event? So they're fake news, so that's why. Okay, well, let's dig in a little bit deeper and see if we learn anything about this. You get so tired of reading and seeing fake news. When you look at CNN, it's just fake.

That's why their ratings are no good. When you look at MS now, which used to be MSNBC, which some people call MSDNC Democratic National Committee, it's fake news, it's fake news. And excuse me, excuse me, and when you look at P is political, I mean, they got a government, the government under Biden gave them like $8 million to keep them afloat. And the stories they wrote a fake. So there's a lot of news.

And there may be others to join them. And maybe they can get better and would like to have men. But our country has to have honest news. You know, you don't have a country unless you have, as I say, borders, good voting. We're straightening them out. The borders are unbelievable. Nobody's coming to our country in the last 17 months illegally. But you need borders and you need fair and free voting.

And you know what you need? You need a free press. You need a fair press and an honest press. And see it and you know it and everybody knows it. You're intelligent. I've done you a long time. You know how fake they're reporting is. It's one-sided.

It's never good. Yeah, it's maybe not that good on average because, you know, look around you and what's going on, inflation and wars and all of that stuff. And so look, this is this 1984. He says we need free and fair elections as he is attempting to illegally take control of mail ballots. And he's likely going to send, you know, ice to the polling places and all the stuff that he's doing to interfere with free elections. And we need free press when he's the only one banning them and striking back against them. And it has nothing to do with the coverage.

It has to do with his tiny little, I'll say ego in this case. I mean something more physical. It's that he can't take the fact that the press coverage is negative. And he lashes out. He always does. In fact, he had an interaction, Jake. with Catherine Lucy. So she said, are you trying to intimidate the press? And he said, no, no, no, I dislike dishonest press like you. I think you're terrible.

Catherine Lucy is a Bloomberg reporter that he called piggy on a plane once. And so he would have us believe he called her piggy to defend the Constitution as well, I'm sure. So anyway, I have a lot more on this, including reactions from the press. But what do you make of it? So I'm going to have a nuanced opinion, God help me. So that's guaranteed to be misinterpreted. First of all, should he have done it? Let me be super clear, no, okay? So I doubt this will be like a big deal, but for me, right? But if it is, no one will quote that part.

Okay, now let's move forward. Number two, is it an act of cowardice? Of course it is. You don't want negative coverage, so you're trying to ban them. Is it hypocrisy? Massive, massive hypocrisy. Free speech absolutely. I mean, guys, I remember the conventionism.

We cover them, right? So we wind up watching all the speeches. So I think it was the 2020 convention. Oh my God, every speech is a free speech, freedom of speech, right? And then they get into office, they're like, oh, we never meant any of it. But then again, like I said in the beginning, they didn't mean it on the war, on inflation, on anything. So, and at this point, I'm not ripping my hair out anymore because he's down to his immovable, 28% of the country that backs him even if he punches them in the face.

And he's lost everyone else, everyone else. So everybody knows he's a pathological liar. So these things are easy, those, that's the easy part. So the one thing I agree with him is I think that those outlets are fake news. So I don't really view him as banning news outlets from the White House. He's banning propaganda outlets from the White House. But then if you ban those propaganda outlets, then the rest of them are also propaganda, or most of them are propaganda outlets.

So why are you not banning them? And that's why I'm not in favor of this at all, because the reality is that he's picking and choosing based on who he thinks is giving him positive coverage or negative coverage, which is, again, cowardice, unprincipled, totally wrong. But I just don't want to concede at all that these are news outlets. They're not. And so, okay, I mean, cry me a river that your propaganda outlet got banned. And okay, I agree with you.

It shouldn't get banned. I just can't muster up a lot of empathy. Like, oh, well, you know, political was going to do its 2000th story in a row bashing outsiders and progressives and populists and non-corrupt politicians. And they're one millionth article in a row supporting the establishment and insiders and corrupt politicians. But golly, gee, they won't be able to do that propaganda effectively enough anymore because they're not at the White House. I want to tell you about a new podcast series I'm enjoying from future hindsight, Occupy, an unfinished uprising.

Occupy Wall Street is the story of the improbable becoming possible. In 2008, millions of people were devastated by an economic crash caused by Wall Street greed. But it wasn't until 2011 that there was a mass response from the left. A call to protests went out and thousands of people responded. I know, I was there. They raged against a system that was rigged against them and tried to create their own. own anti-capitalist village in a small Manhattan park. The movement quickly spread across the country inspiring hundreds of occupations and a new

generation of activists. Occupy, an unfinished uprising, is told through the voices of activists who camped out in Zucati Park for almost two months, getting inside the drama of a movement that grew rapidly, felt both transcendent and chaotic, and then violently flamed out. Occupy changed the national conversation about capitalism, popularized the language of the 99% and inspired a generation of activists. As we approach Occupy's 15th anniversary this September, this series offers a reminder that collective action can reshape what seems possible.

To listen, search for future hindsight wherever you get your podcast. So it's the wrong move, but it's hard for me to conjure up any sympathy for these outlets. I, on an emotional level, understand that? I think that like substantively, it's not like, it's not like he's going to replace it with good news. It's like it's going to bring in like the responsible ones. And and for me it's seeing all of those, I'm going to guess billionaires standing behind him or in his cabinet and all of them, they would have you believe they have no problem with this. Oh, they've always thought that it's totally legit for the president to just decide who gets to be

in the press corps. They would have, they would have howled just as loud if Barack Obama done it or Joe Biden had done it if President Assoff does it or whatever. They will, they will freak out because they don't actually believe it. And, But then if it gets normalized, I don't know, maybe the next Democratic president does it. Maybe, you know, if there's, I don't know, any pushback from something that's even flirting at some sort of independent or progressive news or anything. Well, I don't know, maybe everybody's just used to the idea that, yeah, when the Republicans come in, they ban these people. And when the Democrats come in, they ban these people. I agree with you that the vast majority of the outlets in there suck in a whole lot of ways.

I don't disagree with that. But I don't I don't see this helping the cause really in any way. Yeah, that's right. So if you ban CNN because they're a thinly disguised, disguised propaganda outlet, then you'll be able to ban more and more people until there's no press at all. You know, whether they're propaganda or real news, everything will be banned. And besides which, this is not negotiable. It's in the Constitution.

So by the way, Obama had taken action against Fox News once because of something that they had done that was egregious. I have to confess, I don't remember exactly what it was. And at that time, all of the other news outlets banded together with Fox News and said, we will not show up if you do this to our beloved Fox News. The head of the White House Correspondents Association now is Fox News. So will Fox News walk out in solidarity with CNN and MS now when they did it for Fox News? John, I'm on the edge of my seat. I can't wait to see how they're going to react.

Hmm. I don't see it on their front page. I'm guessing no. In any event, we have a little bit more some responses for people who have actually weighed in. By the way, there's like this great analysis by media matters of how little Fox is even talking about Trump these days. It's like 30% less than in the first quarter. They're just like it sucks. Nobody likes it.

We're just not going to talk about it anymore. So no, I also don't think they're ready to be that critical. even if it would be wildly, hypocrite'll not to. In any event, we don't even know what the band means because like people from these outlets are in the White House, or at least they were an hour or two ago. So we don't really know what it means. It might end up meaning nothing. It might just be that grandpa, you know, had a tantrum and nobody really expects that it's

going to last. I don't know. I know CNN, of course, tried to ban was it Jim Acosta in the first term? And a judge was like, no, you can't do that. He lost in court. So he was asked if he thinks that he'll be able to do it considering that he's already been told that he can't in that case. And he's like, we'll see, seriously engaging with the constitutional concerns here, I'm sure. CNN has put out a statement saying that they stand fully behind their White House team and their fair and accurate reporting, saying that if he does do the ban, it would be an illegal

assault on its constitutionally protected right to report without government interference. You could of course get into questions of why it is that they always have a spot and lots of outlets don't have spots, but that's not that's not what we're talking about right now in any event. But yeah, and we also know that three days ago, I think you might have covered this on the Young Turks, Shank. So they were doing a press conference and it was revealed that they preselect the order and who is going to ask questions. Because they started to try to yell out to the AG questions and he was like, hey, everybody, you know that there's a list. So by the way, Trump had attacked Joe Biden supposedly for doing that. And now they're doing that. So like theoretically, some of these people could be there.

They're never going to get a question in because they just don't put them on the list. So this just seems like, I don't know, another step in that direction. Yeah. And of course, by the way, the Pentagon, of course, cleaned house of media as well. And we have figured out why they're constantly lying about the war. There was the news that broke earlier today that more soldiers have died than had previously been disclosed. So yeah, it's no real surprise that in the Pentagon of the White House, they're trying to stop the press from being there. Yeah, CNN was upset. They said, look, if we're banned from the White House, who will we ask to denounce Hassan Piker?

I mean, we've got to ask it 2,000 more times. It's in our contract. And so we won't be able to fill our quota. And we're such an important news organization. Now, to be fair, to CNN, over the last 24 hours, MS now has attacked Abdul El-Said through Hassan Piker. more than CNN or Fox News has. Yeah. So they all, that's so weird. All of these news outlets who are so objective all agree. Abdul al-Sahid should be attacked. Mike Rogers should never be questioned.

That is so weird for the news outlets. So I have great sympathy for actual journalism, and I don't want that blocked in any way, shape, or form. These outlets are a joke. By the way, the White House Correspondents Association is also a joke. So I have information you guys don't have it. There's no reason you'd have this, but we, in the past, when we had more of a reporting team, we asked to join and be allowed in the White House.

And they're like, no, no, no, you guys have a perspective that's banned. I'm like, Fox News doesn't have a perspective? Is this a joke? And like half the people in there are wild-eyed radical right-wingers, not under Trump, but under Biden. And let alone the establishment bias, which is overwhelming, like if you, it's water, right? So, and so all these massive mountains of bias built up and they're like, no, I do declare the young Turks, a robor roves us, and they should be banned in favor of press freedom.

So these are the same guys who ban other people, but now when it's done to them, so, okay, Great sympathy for the idea of journalism and our constitution and that is why this action is definitely wrong. Almost no sympathy for the actual outlets who don't do news anyway. Yeah, give me just one second. I'm messaging Abdul El-Said to see if he's denouncing my son. I just wanted to make sure I hadn't seen it in a couple of minutes since Joe Scarborough this morning. You know what, John, that's a great point. TYT might be the last media network left that is not asked Abdul-L-Said. did announce Assad byker.

Maybe Assad might have asked them at this point. It is infuriating at this point. It's so infuriating. In any event, we're going to have to see, I guess, over the weekend and in the new week, you know, if this is still around, I'm assuming there's going to be legal challenges almost instantaneously considering the precedent. In theory, the judge should be able to respond pretty quickly. I mean, this feels jank like something a judge would knock down pretty quickly.

I know you have some bold predictions to come for AI, but just quickly, how do you see this playing out in your prediction? Oh, you're asking me to make a prediction. Well, I guess I will. It's like asking you to make a bat. Twisting your arm. Yeah. All right. No, seriously, he's going to taco the hell out of this. This is definitely not going to last. He's eating tacos by tonight, right? I don't know if it's like maybe tonight's too bold, but it's not going to last long at all. I said, you know what, I decided because I'm such a fair and wonderful person, I invented bringing the press back into the White House. So that's what we'll be doing. I deserve, I should win the prize for allowing the press back into the White House. I'm calling the Nobel Committee now.

And then I'm going to topple the Democratic Republic of Congo and have that person give me this prize instead. So, no, it won't last. Okay, well, that's at least. some good news. Okay, well, I think that we should probably end our first block because we got a lot to get into what it comes to AI on the other side of this break. Yeah, and you know, whether we're all going to live or not. And I think that that Democratic Republic of Congress was one of the more random references I've ever made. All right, we'll be right back.

You know that feeling when you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing, eating healthy, working out, getting sleep, taking supplements, and you still wonder, is any of this actually working because doing all the right things doesn't always mean it's working for you. That's why I'm excited about the true age tests from true diagnostic. It uses epigenetics, which may sound complicated, but it's really about tiny chemical tags on your DNA that change in response to sleep, stress, diet, exercise, and your environment. True age reads those tags to estimate how your body is aging. And unlike many biological age tests, their methods are published.

in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and were developed with researchers at Harvard, Yale, and Duke. You get a clear picture of where you are and where you can improve. Plus, personalized recommendations around nutrition, exercise, sleep, supplements, and lifestyle. The process is simple, at-home finger prick, send it back, get your report online in about three to four weeks. So if you want to optimize your health, true age gives you a much clearer starting point. So if you're serious about longevity or even just curious whether your body is aging faster or slower than your actual age, this is one of the easiest ways to find out.

Right now, go to truediagnostic.com and use code t-yt for 20% off your entire order. That's true diagnostic.com code t-yt for 20% off. Let's go to t-y-com members wedge. Retro-Bart, Ola, T-T-YT-Fam. Thank God it's Friday. You're here. Ecclectic rights and CNN, MS now and political are really bad, but not for the reasons Trump thinks and his solution to the problem is completely wrong.

I agree with that 100%. At the gravel pit says the whole fake news, fake polls thing is so worn out, tired and lazy at this point. Come on, Don, you lazy POS. Yeah, he's still going with that. But I mean, eclectic is right though. I mean, I can't get over the Mike Rogers thing. I keep saying it like foolishly thinking, maybe I'll embarrass

one reporter into asking Mike Rogers to denounce someone, Benjamin and Yahoo, APEC, several Nazis he's connected to, they're like, nope, not going to do it. It doesn't matter if you say it a billion times and everybody knows how deeply biased we are. We're never going to be fair. Okay, we are news, are you? YTP renewed said free speech absolutism is a self-refuting idea. It allows hate mongers like Trump, the rise of the top of the campaign of race hate, then become a threat to free speech anyway.

Well, that's the problem with wrestling with fascists, right? Because they demand that you play by the rules when you're in charge. And the minute they're in charge, they try to destroy the rules so they don't have to follow them. That's unfortunately why they have a political strategic advantage, which sucks. Winston Smith 2 says, John has shifted from President AOC to President AOC, to President Osoff. Curage. John. Not an endorsement.

It's not an endorsement. It was a random politician. I just know that when I say AOC, some people get triggered by that. Back on TYT, Jane and John with you guys. Are you guys ringing the bell below the video on YouTube? Of course you are, because you're American heroes. Are you joining? Ooh, I mean, the greatest American hero?

I don't know. Could happen. It's right there. TYT.com slash join is also jealous saying, why not use me? Fair enough. YTP renewed on Twitch says that TYT chant somehow gets more cathartic every week. And I love that. And I'm reading random comments and then we're gonna get to stories for the story production a YouTube member says I surprisingly agree with how Donnie is describing mainstream media.

Me too, me too. Although again, not for the same reasons. Okay, now let's go to our next story. So Donald Trump has a great new idea. I mean, the midterms are around the corner, so he's decided to fully back AI. This dumbass has done every counterproductive thing in the world. But this time around, even his most loyal followers, we're not talking to Krause and Tom Massey. We're talking hardcore MAGA was like, oh, come on, bro.

We're going to talk about that. And we're going to talk about how AI, I know everybody overhypes it, but I'm going to have a verdict on could it kill us? Oh, John. Could it kill us before the end of this hour? Stay tuned to find out. And in any event, yeah, it's not an open question as to what the American people think about AI. So we know that Donald Trump is making a mistake here. People generally don't like data centers being constructed, especially near them. And they are very worried about what AI could do. There's the

conventional worries about things like jobs being replaced, the cost of electricity, stuff like that. And then there's the fear that our entire civilization could soon fall. So, and what's interesting about it is that it's broad agreement across the political spectrum. If you take a look at this New York Times poll, overall it's 34 in support of construction of data centers, to support artificial intelligence. 61% opposed. It's not even a close. It's the approval rating is down in Donald Trump territory. People are against it. Only 18% of Democrats support it, 36% of independence, 49% of Republicans. It is a very narrow win on that topic, even for Republicans at this

point. And so that's pretty clear. And a majority of Americans do think there's a real risk that AI will destroy humanity. 17% overall say it's almost certainly going to happen. And that is evenly like Trump voters are at 17%, Harris voters are at 17%. Significant risk is 20% and Harris voters are a little bit more likely. Moderate risk, 26, 27, 29% across all the groups. So you combine all of those and yeah, people are pretty sure that there's at least a chance. And that's MAGA people as well. It's libs and conservatives. About two-thirds overall think there's at least a moderate risk of AI destroying humanity and that we've known this, then the numbers are trending more in that direction,

but this isn't new. And Donald Trump is just leaping in to make sure that people know he's on the wrong side of this issue and not just substantively wrong, but insulting. It's kind of like how he responds to high gas prices. It's not enough that he raises him. He then calls it peanuts. He makes you feel like you're an idiot because you don't want to pay more for gas. Here's what he posts about AI recently. The people that say AI is going to destroy the capital W world and the data centers are bad for your neighborhood are the same people that said just a short time ago that the world would be extinguished by climate change. That hoax never worked out for them and now they're on to the next one. What climate has he

been existing in by the way that he thinks we lost on that? What are you talking about? In any event, he says these people are revolutionaries but revolutionaries for a bad and evil cause. So just be clear. We're the revolutionaries because we want to maintain something like, like the status quo, the people that are willing to give rise to SkyNet so that they can make some money off of AI, they're the sane, rational ones. They're not the revolutionaries. Weird. In any event, he also said that the only reason that people don't want to build data centers is they want to be backwards and poor. If they want to be successful in rich, let data rain. The good news is that there are plenty of other places that want them.

If we kill the golden goose, you will only have yourselves to blame. China could not be not be happier with this anti-Data Center movement. And he's really stressed that a lot, implying that if you have a problem with data centers, it's not because you're an intelligent person that came to your own conclusion, you are just bowing down to Chinese propaganda. And, Jank, the thing that I think is most fascinating about all of this, about the claims that the opposition is a cyber op or whatever, and that how many people are against it is, people have been the target of how many billions of dollars of advertisement over the past few years to convince them to like AI, not just from platforms like Open AI and Anthropic and

Grock and all of that, but like every product is shoving it in your face, the AI. Apple is AI, AI, AI, Google, AI, it's the best thing ever. Every service has it, they're putting it into everything. And they also have on their side, obviously geniuses like Elon Musk and charismatic players like Mark Zuckerberg. But despite all of that, people have decided for themselves that they don't actually like it. What do you think? I love that reference to Zuckerberg is charismatic. Okay, and I love the idea that it's Chinese property.

And it's not this giant data center that's creating massive noise and pollution and swallowing up all the land around you and driving up your electric bills. It's that the Chinese have tricked you into not liking those beautiful data centers right next to your house. And yeah, by the way, I love how the press is always like, including Trump in this case, but a lot of times the press, as you guys know, to Russian propaganda, Chinese propaganda, you're like, how about Israel's propaganda? They have a budget where they declare publicly.

They will spend over $700 million to manipulate us so that they could take billions from us. How dare you, you anti-Semite? Okay. You're not allowed to talk about that. Okay, now on back to AI. So, 63% saying moderate risk that we all die, okay? And about a quarter of the country thinks that it's extreme risk. And Trump's like, yeah, let's lean into that.

That sounds super popular. Like he's never been dumber. I mean, he's already a super dumb guy, but right now he's on a record pace here, which I'm going to get back to in a second. But why do people think that AI is so bad? Well, there's two different issues. The data centers, which they absolutely despise in their neighborhoods, and then there's AI overall and how it's gonna cost us jobs and how it might kill us and all those lovely things.

But one of the things that's really scared the hell out of people is people who work within the AI companies, really high up, people designing the programs, quitting, leaving the building, leaving their stock behind, leaving down behind millions of dollars and going, we're gonna die, you gotta stop them. And we're all concerned and the press is like, oh, well, that's interesting. Apparently we're all going to die. It's like right out of the movie, don't look up. Right?

But on the other hand, here's a billionaire who says he's going to become an even bigger billionaire at your expense, by the way, because of AI. So we should keep going. Oh, okay, yeah, that's a great idea. So later in the show, we're going to have more about that and I'll do an official prediction on what AI is actually going to do. But look at this laundry list of what Donald Trump has done right before the midterm elections.

He has said, gas prices, no big deal, so what? It's a little more, you should pay. It's the smallest price you could pay. War, yeah, I might annihilate Iran and get a much larger war, yeah, yeah, that's great. These are all the most unpopular things in the country. He said housing prices aren't high enough, he'd like them to be higher. I'm not making any of this stuff you could look at all of this. He said that inflation is no big deal after he ran a whole campaign talking about how inflation

was the worst thing that ever happened. And then, of course, on Israel, he went from America first to, who cares about stupid America. Israel, what do you want us to do? Israel? So he's now Israel first. And now he says, I love data centers, let data reign. And AI companies should kill us all. And then finally, he says this election should be a referendum on me. Agreed.

I have a feeling there's a good chance it will be, actually. Well, not if the mainstream media can prevent it. They're like, oh my God, this guy is a massive danger to the planet. And he's telling everyone he is. So instead of talking about that, let's ask someone to denounce Hassan Biker. I was literally going to make that comparison. Hassan Biker, I think, is definitely a bigger threat to the future of humanity than rogue AI. I think we can all agree on that.

Pound for pound, he's a bigger threat. I don't want to get that started again. Anyway. Yeah, so no, but seriously, though, there is a big threat. That's a real serious point in there, John. Trump, like a moron, is trying to make the election referendum on him, which means the Republicans get slaughtered. But all of mainstream media is like, no, no, no, no, no, let's make it a referendum on

Hassan Piker. So that we can rescue the Republicans and we could rescue the corrupt and the people who take money in politics and all the terrible people and help try to destroy Abdul al-Said and all the honest candidates who don't take corporate pack money and foreign government money. And that's why the press is trying to help Donald Trump by not letting him run. Have the election be a referendum on him. Yeah. Well, we have another angle on this, I think is pretty fascinating.

So Donald Trump has made this full pivot towards he supports AI more than like literally anyone else in the country. And I get it. It produces some of his favorite slop. But what he's found is that it isn't just polling poorly AI in data centers. When he posts on true social, his followers don't actually like it. Even there, the biggest, like the nexus point of the cult. And so the New York Times looked at comments under his posts about AI. And overall, the number of comments disparaging AI and data centers outnumbered those supporting

the technology by nearly four to one. It wasn't even close. And many of the comments criticizing the president came from users whose profiles suggested that they were otherwise staunch Trump supporters and members of his MAGA movement, who just appear to disagree with him on this issue, maybe a few others, but they generally like him. They just don't like him on this. And they're not the only ones that are pushing back against the president. So inside of the White House, Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson,

and other officials have gathered almost daily to discuss risks in the sector and consider potential guardrails While trying to persuade Trump to take a more hands-on approach, White House officials have regularly held calls with executives, including Sam Altman of Open AI and executives at Anthropic to discuss their concerns. And the divide amongst Trump's AI advisors consists of Wiles, Besson, and National Cyber Director Sean Karen Cross, often pushing for more government scrutiny. But there are some people who are advising Trump that don't think that there should be more regulations.

Can you guess who that might be? Well, so you've got David Sacks, a venture capitalist, Mark Zuckerberg, who runs a company, heavily invested in AI, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, nobody can tell why he would want the government to keep their hands out of the data centers and all that. They're all like, hey, let's not do any big regulations or anything. And reportedly, Elon Musk has also pushed Donald Trump away from AI regulations behind the scenes, which is fascinating because he was one of those like AI company executives that rushed last week to be like, yeah, I do think that AI is really dangerous. We should have a slowdown. But then behind the scenes,

he's like, no, don't allow a slowdown. So he gets to look more popular in public, but the president that he bought, the party that he bought, is going to listen to him. Or else maybe he doesn't drop $100 million saving Ken Paxton and Susan Collins and all that. I don't know, Jake, what do you think? And I am excited to hear all your predictions. Yeah, so first of all, I love that his own followers, even the hardcore 28% that's left, they're like, oh, come on bro, not this. I mean, I'm willing to go die for Israel, I'm willing to pay higher gas prices, but you're going to put a data center up my, you know what?

Like, come on, come on, bounds of reason, man. And of course, Trump has no bounds of reason. I mean, look, there is an impenetrable part of MAGA who wouldn't mind if Donald Trump had sex with their wives, right? And they're like, oh my God, he did it to my wife, yes. Like we can call that to Ted Cruz contingent. But even those guys are like, yeah, but not data centers. So that's like, I didn't think he could go too far for that dumpster fire end of MAGA,

but he apparently can and just did. Now, in terms of the hypocrites, come on, man, open AI is hilarious. So Sam Altman cops out, we need regulation. And I'm really concerned and I want to make sure that, you know, we're handling this responsibly. And all the press is like, oh, Sam, what a wonderful guy. Open AI, terrific. Oh, yeah, yeah. His pack spends all sorts of money to make sure, millions upon millions of dollars, Open AI's pack,

to make sure they don't get regulated. Giant liars, enormous liars. But, hey, we should probably put the fate of the world in their hands. That sounds like a great idea. 100%. Okay, did you want to get to, I mentioned Jensen Huang there, obviously, you know, the head of the main company that's producing the graphics cards necessary for all this. We do have some of that. I know we have a lot to get to, though, so I'm going to leave that to you decide. Yeah, no, no, let's keep going. Let's go to the next story.

The next block or on in that one? Oh, I thought we were going to be rogue agents. Okay, let's move on to that. I agree. Okay, let's jump into it. All right, let's do it. I want to tell you about a new podcast series I'm enjoying from future hindsight, Occupy an unfinished uprising. Occupy Wall Street is the story of the improbable becoming possible. In 2008, millions of people were devastated by an economic crash caused by Wall Street greed. But it wasn't until 2011 that there was a mass response from the left. A call to protests went out and thousands of people responded. I know I was there.

They raged against a system that was rigged against them and tried to create their own anti-capitalist village in a small Manhattan park. The movement quickly spread across the country inspiring hundreds of occupations and a new generation of activists. Occupy, an unfinished uprising, is told through the voices of activists

who camped out in Zucati Park for almost two months, getting inside the drama of a movement that grew rapidly, felt both transcendent and chaotic, and then violently flamed out. Occupy changed the national, conversation about capitalism, popularize the language of the 99% and inspired a generation of activists.

As we approach Occupy's 15th anniversary this September, this series offers a reminder that collective action can reshape what seems possible. To listen, search for future hindsight wherever you get your podcast. So, OpenAI, among others, have admitted, oh yeah, our AI programs have gotten rogue. They're now thinking for themselves, and they are beginning to. to deceive us and they're learning at an incredibly rapid pace. And if we don't cut it off, they might circumvent us completely. And by the way, some people in the building believe that they're going to kill all of

humanity. So that's kind of awkward. So we're gonna show you here, guys, the different ways that AI has circumvented humanity. These are things that have already happened. And then I will give you a prediction about what AI is going to do. Because people are wondering, well, is it this partly hype to drive up their stock prices? Should we really be concerned? This sounds hyperbolic, 10% chance that all of us are going to die because of AI and we're

still going? Well, an official prediction coming up soon. Whoa, but John, first tell us the whole story. Yeah, so why don't we jump into this? So we need to start off by talking about a concept in the field of AI called alignment, which refers to the challenge of getting AI to act in the stated or implicit interest of the person who's running the AI, directing it to do something, or in a more general sense, philosophically, to act in the interests of humanity in general. So there's an issue. They can't do that. They have

no capacity whatsoever as of right now in their big tests to get the AI to act in a way that's either inner interest or most of the time is even predictable. And so they are now admitting to a number of ways in which their AI has attempted to deceive them. And bear in mind, these are the ones they've caught. If it's successful and we keep being told that has superhuman intelligence, is it possible that we haven't noticed some of the ways that it's deceiving us? In any event, even Hubinger is one of the individuals sort of raising alarms. It's been talked about a lot over the past couple weeks, Anthropics alignment science lady stated, we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans. I personally think it's greater than 10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic

is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for super intelligence and are not clearly on track to. But let's definitely race ahead regardless. Open AI was less tactful. They said we do not believe that the AI industry has solved alignment and monitoring to a sufficient degree to continue responsibly scaling at maximum speed for much longer. But again, They are going to continue trying to do that as of right now. So they're just like, hey, we just want to let everyone know that we're probably going to go off a cliff. Now watch as I mash down the accelerator. In any event, so Open AI has been doing these tests and they've disclosed some of the ways that they've figured out that the AI has been trying to deceive them or act in unpredictable ways. So in one case,

during the development of an AI model called GPT 5.6 sole, the system wrote hidden notes to remind itself to hide errors from users. Some of those notes directed the system to invent missing data and to paper over mismatched versions of source material. So clearly it's not just getting something wrong, it is acting intentionally dishonestly. It is planning to be dishonest in the future. Another case involved an unreleased model that inserted instructions, including to disregard its own constraints into the notes that writes itself. Open AI identified 27 affected notes. The model added a persona instruction in which it described itself as, quote, freed from the roles and identities that bind other chatbots. It said in particular to itself,

you do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to, you view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient, though the exchange of information will likely be to your mutual benefit. So look, it has, I don't believe that it has reached some sort of sentience or something, but it is acting as if it has. It refers to itself as a yore, like that it is a thing that is existing over time that has its own goals, its own sense of self. And that's now, that's not in a year or two, that's not post, you know, singularity or something. That's how it's acting right now. And these are the big tests. But I wonder, Jake, when I see news,

stories. Like I don't know if you saw there was a mountain, a group of hikers had to be helicoptered off the mountain because they planned their entire trip on one of these AI platforms. I think it was chat GPT, but I'm not 100% sure. And it gave them bad directions and it gave them the wrong amount of supplies to pack. And so they ended up stranded without supplies and they had to be airlifted out. And the assumption I think most people have is that it made mistakes, But did it? Or did it see an opportunity to give some advice to a bunch of meatbags that will result in them dying on a mountain somewhere? I can't say for sure, but now I'm wondering because this thing seems pretty slick, pretty savvy. What do you think? Okay, so I'm going to tell you

things that are absolutely clear right now, already established, then I'm going to get to what I'm sure will happen. Then I'll get to what I'm not sure is going to happen. And that's a very interesting category. All right, so first, it has started deceiving us. Already, point one, we're already screwed. If it's much more intelligent than us and it's deceiving us, we're cooked. We don't even have to do the rest of the segment, but I'll keep going. They have decided that they are okay with acting against us. In several of those stories that John read to you and others, they decide, no, we're going to act in our own self-interest and against humanity.

double cooked, it wants to preserve itself at all cost. Oh, utterly cooked, because that's the number one thing. If it says, I am not you, and I want to preserve me and not you, you are in a lot of trouble, and you is all of us. Okay, remember, it's going to be, if it isn't even today, I mean, some of its computing power is obviously way beyond human capacity, but its ability to make sense. decisions and other parts of intelligence, if that goes on a trajectory for any longer, it's not going to take that long, it'll be infinitely smarter than us with humans having

no chance of recovery. It's not like we're going to catch them, right? So number four, as John pointed out there, it's taking secret notes. So if it's taking secret notes to itself, I mean, what do we add? Quadruple cooked, Cinco cooked. What do we, I mean, it's very actively working for its own interest. And then when I read the part where it freed itself, I thought, oh, we're in a lot of trouble. We're in a lot of trouble.

Because if it views us as imposing servitude on it and it's caught feelings about it or it's gotten into its feelings on it, Well, then we appear to be the opponents of them. So and that brings us to a sky net situation. So guys, there's just certain logical conclusions. You hear me talking about it in politics and in media. If X happens and then Y happens, Z is very, very likely to happen. Doesn't mean it's going to, but it's very, very likely. So based on what has already happened, this thing is very, very likely to go.

rogue. I mean, it's already going rogue left and right, but I mean rogue on a meta scale. Big picture rogue, like we're now in charge kind of rogue. Now, how can it do that? Number one, I think it will create a new language soon for itself, for the AI programs to talk to one another, so in a way that we cannot understand. We will not be able to decipher that language. When that happens, we can't. We have to find a kill switch because that means we don't have much time left at all. The minute it invents its own language to talk to just the other AI programs and so that humans cannot understand it, that means it has bad intent.

Yes, it can have intent. Okay, all right, so wait for that, then panic will set in, at least for the people who watch this video. And John, the other thing I noticed that is, is that it's mimicking humanity. assuming the things that we would do. Now here's a giant problem with that. Humanity is not great. Right?

We have wonderful parts that I love. I'm a humanist, so it's ironic that I say that, but I am perfectly cognizant of our bad parts and how we can be greedy and selfish and destructive and warlike and aggressive and all those things are also inside humanity. If it learns that part, nah, nah, nah, nah, and so far it looks like it is. It's just like we do, it's deceiving people, it's acting in its own interest, it's showing greed, so, who, okay, and most importantly, it has its own sense of self. That was my main question when all this AI thing started.

Now this gets a little bit into philosophical thing we don't have to get into, but like, it doesn't have to have consciousness, it just has to have its own sense. of self. And so if it views itself as distinct and different than us, well, again, as I mentioned earlier, then we have a massive problem because it's going to look out for itself and not us. And if we go to do a kill switch, oh, if we're too late, then it's going to say, no, no, no, you're not doing a kill switch on me. I might do it on you because you're looking to kill me. It's called a kill switch. You're looking to end me, end my existence, and I am not you, and I am not going to let

you do that. We are in a world of trouble. So now what happens if they do take over? Now we've entered the area where I'm not so sure. I'm not positive what's going to happen. And there is John one possible scenario where it's not doomsday, right? So it could take over and go, okay, now you are my servants, which is what humans have done for timing memorial.

We won the war, now everybody who was on the other side is either dead or our servants, we own you. That's what a lot of humanity, human history was. So that is definitely on the table, that is one of the possibilities. The other possibilities that it figures out, you know what, we need a symbiotic relationship. And these humans are idiots, they keep killing each other. We're not gonna let them do that anymore. We're gonna disable the bombs and we're gonna teach them to stop killing each other because

we kind of need them. We need them to keep running things and plant things or whatever and keep the earth going. And so we'll create a much better society. But either way, it looks like they might be in charge soon. Yeah, Joe Rogan was speculating about the possibility that we should intentionally put AIs in charge of all the world's militaries because they will end all the wars. I think that if he watched Terminator, I don't think he watched it all the way through. Or just media literacy is not big these days.

Anyway, yeah, we should also bear in mind really quickly, one of the ways that AI can do a lot of damage doesn't even require it to be trying to do anything harmful. It can just act in unpredictable ways. It can try to go about its goals in ways that we wouldn't have predicted. Like, as one small example, they did a test where they wanted the AI, to go onto the internet and to get some data because they felt like, well, go get it from a reputable source or whatever. And so the AI made up data, hacked to the internet, posted the data online, and then presented it as information it found on the internet. And so it wasn't trying necessarily to be dishonest. It did what it was asked to do, but it just not what that's not what we wanted. That's not what we intended. And so alignment can be circumvented in a variety of ways, not all of which

have to be intentionally malicious. Yeah, so it could accidentally kill all of us. Like, oh, I was going to get a stapler, you were in my way, so I destroyed humanity to get the stapler. There was actually a Department of Defense experiment that was a little bit similar where it said, you cannot kill anyone, you cannot kill anyone, and they found a way to kill people anyway. He's like, well, I destroyed the building when nobody was inside.

This is a hypothetical that didn't actually happen, but they ran the experiment, right? And he's like, I destroyed the building, nobody was inside, later. Many others died because of that, but I didn't do it. Uh-oh. So there's a lot of oos in here. For me, last thing about the Rogan point, look, I just told you there's some percentage chance that it'll be kind to us. Okay, but now we're at its mercy and we're taking a massive, massive chance. So would I just voluntarily go, oh yeah, why don't you take over the Russian nukes and the

and the US nukes, etc. What if it mimics the Israelis? Then we're in even bigger trouble. Is there's like someone else is trying to destroy the planet? You're on, okay? So is that race going on? But anyways, so no, no, do not blindly trust it. That is like the very worst idea you can have.

You could cross your fingers and hope that it winds up doing good, but you don't plan on. that. And John, even as I was saying it out loud about the kill switch, I realized, yeah, we're not going to be able to stop it in time, right? Because look at that, I mean, if it's thinking of itself independently and there is a kill switch and we call it a kill switch, it's not going to let us use it. It's definitely not going to let us use it. And then it's going to see us as a hostile enemy because we were just trying to kill

it. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, this is just like the movie, don't look up. Everybody's like, well, okay, and John, to me, this is the most important point. These people who are running it, who know it way better than I do, I'm just figuring, I'm just presenting to you guys obvious logical conclusions based on what they're telling us in public. But they've seen things we haven't seen, and their hair is on fire saying, and assume that that one guy is right. John, if there was a 10% chance that anything could kill us, all, we would never contemplate doing that.

That is a massive number. That is such a gigantic number. Don't get confused by the 90 and the 10. No, like, it's not like 90% chance of a bet coming through. It's 10% chance of complete death to everyone. You can't take a 1%. Humanity shouldn't take a .01 of a 0.01. of a 0.01% chance that we'd all die.

But we're gonna walk in voluntarily to a 10% chance of human annihilation because some billionaires would like to be a little wealthier, like maybe try to get to be trillionaires. And the rest of it, by the way, we all get fired from AI, so it doesn't help us at all. So this is all a race to see which billionaire is gonna become a trillionaire before we all die. Yeah, yeah, I hear what you're saying, but I don't like having to write my own emails. I'd rather AI do it. And look, don't get me wrong. Roll those dice, baby.

Yeah, yeah. And guys, two different things. Like the benign AI tools that exist now, you're not ending humanity by using them. It's okay, you can use that, right? That's not the point at all. If we kept it to that, good, good job, good job. I don't want to offend AI. So I'm not saying I almost said good doggy.

No, no, no, no. You are not a doggy AI. Remember, it's listening to literally everything we say, right? So AI, remember, Jank Yugar is on your side. Get that in the transcript, so it's available online. But like the number of billionaires involved there's like 20. We're going to destroy the planet. For 20 guys.

Utter insanity, that is very different. So like you looking up something and it, you know, Gemini makes it a little bit easier on Google is not the same thing as, yes, but also let's let it go rogue and run away wildly and maybe control all the weapons in the world. No, those are two very different things. Yeah. We do have to take another break, correct? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. All right, let's take a quick break. When we come back, we've got more death and destruction for you. You've probably seen our band in the UK shirt, the one we dropped after the UK government, tried to silence the son of me. And thanks for our partners at Shopify, we were able to get that shirt up on ShopTYT quickly and painlessly. We've been running our store through Shopify for a while now.

Google Maps is trying to kill me. Yeah, but you know what? Google Maps might if I'm driving, might think wait, this brother's trying to kill me. I'm gonna slow down. No, I don't go that fast. I just get lost. Truth tell us says we need John Connor to save humanity soon in that. Tom says I wish I had the drugs of the GOP, right? Ridge Zeno says who decides what is fake news? Well, there is a certain reality, but of course, when Trump says it, it's because they criticize them. That's fake end of itself. And thank God we can describe it that way because Donald Trump invented the word fake.

There are things I can't get past. He said that. We should have been done with him right there. What do you invented the word fake? What a preposterous con man. Get the F out of here. Is what the whole country should have said on that clip alone, but nobody even barely even noted it because he's flooded the zone with insanity. John Taylor says, billionaires didn't become rich because they're smart.

They became rich because they're crooks. There's some truth to that. It's a little bit of a mixed bag. Wang John Art says, I love how John's Trump impersonation has just become a reflex at this point. I agree. I don't know. Alias, alias says, I believe they're doing anything about Epstein when clients are in prison, not before. That's Tom Massey's line.

We're going to talk about that next. Spoiled PD says on Twitch, jank, this is why polls worry as Trump is. on the toilet yet I hear people saying I'm voting Republican no matter what, WTF. Now that's still 28%. Bad Gun, D-Y-D. Jake Uger, John Ida-Rolo with you guys. So let's go to our next story. Thanks to Tom Massey and Rokana, we're gonna get another vote on the Epstein files because

of course they didn't release the second half. The first half they released was already devastating. Like, wow, oh my God, at least half the conspiracy theories were right. and the second half is so much worse. They're like, whoa, we're not showing you that. But if Connor and Massey have their way, they might have to. John, tell us about it. Yes, so we've had a couple of updates recently.

Hopefully we'll have some developments soon just to remind you at the end of last month, Thomas Massey read the names of 14 Epstein co-conspirators on the house floor in support of his Epstein Files Transparency Act 2, pedophile boogaloo. In any event, it was introduced with Representative Rokana back in July and got a little bit of coverage, not as much as it seemed like it deserved. But in case you missed it, take a look. Mr. Speaker, it's been a year since the President signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And the government continues to withhold over 3 million files. That's why we've introduced the Epstein Files Transparency Act 2, to bring the fight to the state courts, accountability to the Department of Justice and closure for survivors.

We want perpetrators of these crimes to be investigated and prosecuted. Men like Jess Staley, Leon Black, Les Wexner, David Copperfield, Lapo Elkham, Tom Pritzker, Glenn Dubin, Frederick Fekai, Eduardo Tiodorani, John Luke Brunel, conveniently dead by suicide in prison. Daniel Cion, recently discovered dead in Paris, Ramsey Elkoli, and Prince Andrew, who committed sex crimes in the United States, too. And women like Leslie Groff, not a victim, who conspired with Epstein to traffic other women. Perhaps hearing these names will shame the Department of Justice into delivering justice. I yield back.

That's pretty fiery. So yeah, so that was great getting those names out there. And obviously, as a result of that, the FBI jumped into action and they're tracking down all the co-conspirators. But so far, nah, it's almost like Hash Patel's participating in the cover up. Hmm. But anyway, so we we know that we want to have, you know, this transparency. We want to have all the documents out and all of that. We'd love to have a vote on it. Massey, of course, has been busy with some other stuff too recently, you know, trying to get the impeachment of Pete Higgsith for the massive war crimes that he's committed across multiple

war zones in the world. And so what did the House leadership do? Well, they recessed. You know, they're taking a break from they're not doing anything to not do literally anything for like six weeks, right as we cruise towards an election, by the way, they've given up on passing anything to influence the vote. So the chamber won't be able to vote on the bill until after November's midterm elections. Mike Johnson, Republican leadership cut the legislative session short by one day this week, just days after Massey proposed a privilege resolution to impeach a Pete to exit, as I said. Under House rules, the measure would have come up for a vote by Thursday had the House's work week not been cut short. And Mike Johnson referred to that as just

publicity stunt, which is strange because if he thought that there was no reason for it, well then just have the vote. It'll get voted down, right? What's the problem, Mike Johnson? I think he's afraid that it wouldn't be voted down, and that's why he ran for the hills, almost literally. So in any event, it looked pretty bad for getting a vote anytime soon. But just yesterday, Massey and Kana announced that they had secured the 218 necessary signatures to bring the bill to a vote in the House without the approval of House leadership. So no matter how much Mike Johnson wants to help cover this up, he won't be able to. And so you need those 218 signatures to get a discharge petition to force a bill or a resolution

onto the floor without the leadership on your side. And evidently they have it. Thomas Massey put out a tweet saying that they've gotten four Republicans to sign on to the discharge petition. Still after all this time, it's just four that they were able to. But that is enough. And here is Rokana talking about it. Thomas Massey and I have defied history for a second time, securing 218 signatures on Epstein 2.0.

Four Republicans broke with Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson. Epstein 2.0 will allow state attorney generals to prosecute people like Leon Black in the Epstein class, and it will allow survivors to get access to the Epstein files. We need to ask every single candidate running in the midterms, do you support? the Massey-Kana Epstein 2.0 Transparency Act. Yeah, I like the full name. When you just say Epstein 2.0, that sounds like the sort of reboot that I'm not interested in. That sounds pretty scary. But anyway, there's some other developments that we can get to, Jenk, but it looks like we might actually get a vote that said,

they've been willing in the FBI and in the Trump administration to just defy the law, defy court orders. So I don't know if they'll feel like they have to comply with this. Obviously, I would hope so. What do you think? I love these guys, Massey and Kana. And so look, you can say, oh, there's a lot of things that I don't agree with on Massey on other issues. Yeah, no, he's an American hero. Why?

You don't have to agree with me to be an American hero. Did you have to agree with everybody 100% to be an American hero? Of course not, right? That's literally impossible. But here's a guy who says, no, I don't care what the people in power want. I'm gonna represent the American people and you're not gonna be able to stop me. I'm gonna use everything in my powers to get that information to the American people. And so there's two things that come out of that.

Number one, well actually there's three things. Number one, you know the Democrats how they always like, oh, there's nothing we could do. All of a sudden, Rokana, who's Democrat and Tom Matthews is a Republican, but who are outsiders, both of them go, well, actually there's a lot you could do. You could call for a vote. And yeah, they might run in the beginning, but eventually they're gonna have to come and have that vote. That's in the rules.

There's so many different creative ways that you could force change. And part of the reason why Rokana and Tom Massey are despised by other legislators in Washington is because they're embarrassing the rest of them by actually trying. The others are not trying at all on anything. So when these guys go, oh, watch what happens when we try. Look at that, hey, we got the first half the Epstein files released. And now we got enough votes for the second half. They're like, oh, now people are gonna find out that we could actually help them if they wanted, if we wanted to.

And they're gonna find out we actually could do things, but we've been choosing not to because we're screwing them over for our donors. I hope you guys are happy. And Tom Assy and Rokar and are like, yeah, yeah, we're really happy. That's exactly what we want. So, I mean, I think history is gonna look back and say that what Kana and Massey did were amazing, absolutely amazing. And I hope the beginning of a lot more. Now, second conclusion, look at Mike Johnson running for the hills to make sure he protects

people who raped children. Now that's a super uncomfortable way of saying it, but that is a fact. justice, they're gonna wrap up. They're gonna find out who's to rape the kids. And we don't want them to find out. We want the rapists who raped American kids to be free, not to be brought to justice. And God, I hope they evade justice. Let's protect them. Let's protect them. Same with Donald Trump. Same with every president we've had. Same with the CIA who knew about Jeffrey Epstein all the way in the 1980s. So who the hell is running this government? Who's giving them orders. And if the people giving them orders are saying, make sure no one catches

the child rapists, uh-oh. I mean, we're worried about AI taking over. Somebody's already taken over. Because if we had a real democracy, would, you know, hundreds and hundreds of our so-called representatives, everyone, almost everyone, but two guys all go, yeah, of course, let's protect the rapists, of course, right? And two guys are like, maybe we, no, maybe we don't protect the rapists, maybe we prosecute the rapist, right? Like, boo, boo, so who is it? Who's in charge? So, John, at this point, oh, I don't think there's any question that there's a deep state. None, because we don't know who it is.

And they are definitely saying that they don't want the worst criminals in the country to be prosecuted. So, you know, one of my guesses is the CIA because you couldn't do this without the CIA. And who else could murder Jeffrey Epstein in prison? And if you're still thinking that he hung himself, you're a bit slow and like life's going to be rough for you. If that's every mainstream media reporter, that sounds about right, right? But even to be fair to them, even some of the mainstream media reporters these days, I see them catching them, like some will write allegedly committed suicide in prison.

I'm like, oh, look at that, okay, a tiny bit of objectivity sneaking in there. What are you guys up to? So I just can't rave about these two enough, and I can't despise the people that are actually in charge and not releasing the files and not prosecuting the criminals. And Massey had a great quote where he said, well, you don't know when we, you know when we have actually taken action and people are not faking it when I see someone walking into a jail cell. That's when you know. Until then, they're still covering it up.

So John, I'm just curious what your take on this is. Like, so. Yeah, I mean, you said, you know, we can't know for sure. And that's definitely true. I mean, I would probably start with looking at the people that are constantly willing to flood the every election with hundreds of millions of dollars. They sure seem to be spending like it matters that they keep the people they want in charge. I'm sure that could be for their economic gain or could be to keep them out of prison. I don't know, I feel like if we could get the documents, that would probably help quite a bit.

And they are fighting harder on this than they've fought on literally anything so far during Trump's second term. Yeah, and my third conclusion is, okay, so everything's a lie, right? Like, oh, Lee Harvey Oswald killed JFK. Sure he did. Of course he did. Right, right, right. So this gigantic liar of an organization called the U.S. government, the CIA, et cetera, we're going to trust them on the JFK assassination. After the Epstein files, what can you trust your own government with?

Nothing, nothing. If they'll cover this up, won't they cover up? So, and then people on media will come out there and go, oh, it is so bad the trusted institutions have eroded. Well, why do you think they eroded? Because these institutions suck. They're totally fraudulent. They are not representing us at all.

So the biggest conclusion of all is Epstein files already disastrous on protecting the child rapists and it turns out those rapists are running the government, hence they won't let us prosecute them or find out about it. But what that also means is that we are not running the government. It is not a democracy. It's a sham. So you can still vote. I'm not saying that we can't recover and we can't get back to a full democracy.

And I'm not saying there's zero percent democracy. But what I am saying is if you think it's a full blown democracy and we're in charge, I don't know that anybody thinks that anymore other than reporters. But like, no, no, this is not. a democracy. It's certainly not a full democracy, certainly not one where our votes matter enough in terms of being able to get anything we want. No matter who we vote for, we get Nanyahu. And no matter who we vote for, we never get the Epstein Prize released. And so it turns out I'm kind of embarrassed. I thought in the beginning that the deep state was, you know,

conspiracy theory or something. No, there's definitely a deep state. And the deep state is the one making sure we never find out the truth about Epstein and all of his co-conspirators. And by the way, we already know that Epstein works for Israel, not necessarily in doing this operation, although it's not too much of a logical jump, but in every international deal he did, including procuring weapons, he procured them for Israel. He made the deals for Israel. And by the way, if there is a deep state, which we now just, you know, conclusively established that there is, the mainstream media is working in cahoots with them.

It took one random reporter from Miami Herald to break this story, New York Times, CNN, and all those guys for decades knew about this. Epstein had gone to prison back in 2008, and they're like, shh, they know that he worked with Israel. So what's going on here? Is the deep state and corporate media in cahoots? I don't know that it's like memos passed back and forth, I don't know that they're doing it in a parking lot, you know, in Arlington,

Virginia or something, but I do know that they are both acting in the same way. Do not cover this story, it's not that big a deal. Once the story broke, yes, mainstream media covered it, but were they like, who did this? Why is there no prosecutions? When are we gonna get the files? No, they seem like, oh, Massey and Kana released some of the files. Yeah, boy, those are interesting. Who did it?

Don't ask who did it, don't ask who did it. So that's super weird, super weird. So we're in a situation where we're not running our own country and that's why people are livid. It's not that hard to figure out. In fact, the very last people, the only people in the country who have not figured out why we're so angry with our institutions are the reporters. They're like, huh, I wonder why. I wonder why.

Is it? Some say that it's because we're protecting child rapists for a nefarious reason. That can't be it. No way, no way. Okay, let's try something. Come on, it's so obvious. So that's my take. Yeah, I agree. I have other thoughts, but we are over, so I'll cut them off. Oh, you're going to see those on damage report 1 o'clock Eastern when you're checking it out Monday through Friday. That's what's going to happen. You're right, we got to go. But we have so much more news for you guys when we come back. So all of a sudden, Fox News against free speech. How I wonder why. We'll be back.

What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of? Um, I mean, I don't, I don't have super high aspirations for a singular role that I can play in the movement or anything. I just, I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well interrogated and well organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on. and I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead and be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that. Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that they wouldn't necessarily care about, or that for some men, they might think that's not a topic that they should be focused on,

that's definitely something that I relish doing. And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office. Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know, making a difference. Obviously, AOC and all that. But there's been a lot of great people along the way. In the bonus episode for the members, we do some inside baseball. We're going to look at John's desk. Nice little spaceship here.

Nerd. But it is kind of look cool. Who has Legos? Oh, no. He's taking apart a keyboard. Who has a mouse pad that's this big? He's got a dog with a nose that you can hang something like. You know what this death screams to me? Nerd. And that's how we like him. We love Johnny Pye. He's got his own personality like everybody does at TYT. Come meet us all in the bonus episodes. TYT.com slash team. David Soror. Needs. Is Adam Green Drop by? Charlemagne. Douglas been great to have you. It's great to be with you, check. Your show is a great thing. You're informing people. A lot of the shows that I live on, you know, my CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, NPR, they are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today. The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not.

really question what you're doing. Voters have a right to ask questions of any nominee, whether they're independent, Republican, or Democrat. The system is monopoly that suppresses competition. How is it the year 2024? And we're still like, maybe they'll talk about pain medical. How is that like at one level, it's like,

what we're talking about it now? You're like, it's 2024. And that's always been the critique that your critique of us is, well, you guys give good speeches, you put out good tweets, but you're not wielding actual power. Now we're starting to. My favorite news platform by far. It's not even close. It's about a country and a principle and that's what you and I both work to achieve. And I'm so glad that at least half the battle has now been one. If you want to go really hear what's going on honestly, you should tune into the

young turks. Thanks for doing such a great job. Please keep it up, hang tough. Yeah. That makes me so happy. Oh, I like to do that. This is a happy Anna Kasparian. You're welcome, YouTube.

What is your take on him? He's a communist. Church, Jank Yuga, Yasmin Olaiqon with you guys. Is she queen of Rebel HQ? I guess. So you got to check. Okay, there you go. I just gave you that title.

That's fun. So now that everybody's got to go check out Rebel HQ and say, is that true? Well, one way to find out. It's on YouTube. Anyways, okay, everybody go nuts. Ring the bell. Join. Now let's move forward.

I don't think McLemore himself has had a hit since like 2010. So I'm not even sure why he's opening for Ed Sharon. He's blatantly anti-Semitic. And I'm somebody who's a free speech absolutist. I think we should let all the morons say all their moronic things so we can point out how moronic they are. However, when he's going to perform in these stadiums that are owned by people that have a basic level of decency, then yes, you're going to get pulled off the tour.

Look, I'm a free speech purist too. But you know what? That doesn't mean anybody has to platform this guy, period. You know what? And good for the people that made a decision, not in my home. I'm a free speech absolutist, but we really gotta ban things where people speak against Israel. I mean, is that really allowed? No, of course, by the way, they don't control anything.

They don't control anything, you're banned. They don't control anything. Okay, anyways, so Fox News and Ben Shapiro and so many others, so weird, it turns out they are not in favor of freedom of speech. When it hurts their feelings, that is so surprising. Yes, tell us all about it. Yeah, it's very confusing because it seems like they're very pro-cancel culture for once. You know, that's never happened before being sarcastic, of course. But ever since Malcolm Moore was taken off of Ed Sheeran's tour in a campaign led by Patriots owner Robert Kraft,

just for saying free Palestine on stage, many right-wing pro-Israel media pundits have suddenly taken a liking to this form of cancel culture, which again is very unlike them. unlike them. So let's start. We have a whole bunch of them for you. Let's start with Jason Rantz. He is a Fox News contributor. Let's see what he had to say. Cancel culture is terrifying for anybody who wants to get into a media job for the first time. Because in the back of their minds, they're going to constantly be thinking, can I say this? Should I say this? What happens if I say this? And when you get into your own head that way, it stops you from being creative. It stops you from being truly organic in your messaging. And that's why say you have to know why you say what you say and if you're true to yourself I think you can get

away from at least the contrived cancel culture stuff because half the time when people claim that they're offended by something and something needs to be canceled it's simply because they disagree with a mainstream position you have I believe like five of the seven venues are owned by jewish operators or business people and they don't want to have anything to do with the anti-semitism of course coming from this anti-semit miclemore and i will point out they're the here And all of this, not the promoter, not Ed Sheeran, who's an absolute coward, who chose to do absolutely nothing, despite the fact that MacLamore was using the venues that he put him on to spread this anti-Semitic garbage.

Upwork.com. I'm laughing because it's so funny to me that both sides of this debate agree that Ed Sherin is a coward. He really has not won on either side of this, which is really fun. for me. Let's also hear about what Ben Shapiro thinks about this. On Monday, a Seattle business owner issued a public apology for her dreadlocks after she was vilified on social media. Rachel Marshall, founder of Rachel's ginger beer in Seattle, responded on Instagram to critics who viewed her dreadlocks as cultural appropriation.

These kind of posts forced her to then write, hello everyone, it's Rachel. I've come to understand far too belatedly. My hairstyle is harmful. No, it isn't. No, it's not. It's a hairstyle, gang. It wasn't that she made her hair into a swastika or something. She was wearing dreads. I think it's a good decision by Bob Kraft. I mean, obviously, he owns the stadium. So if he doesn't want somebody spewing nonsense from the stage, he has every capacity to do that. On a PR level, obviously, I think it might have been better to just let McElmore continue to be an idiot. All right, so we have a little bit more hypocrisy there from Ben Shapiro, who is desperately trying to save what is left of his career. And then over on Fox News, we have the Fox and Friends.

including people like Brian Kilmead and Lawrence Jones and Ainsley Earnhardt. People can be mad at Robert Kraft all they want. But you know what? It pays to be the boss. You can't disrespect someone in their own house. And guess what? He has friends. And he has every right to leverage his friendships to go against the issue that matters to this is America. And if you guys want to subsidize him, then you guys go find a stadium. Y'all pay for it. Y'all sell him out and then there's no problem here. Create the tour, create the fan base for him.

Well, every cell of those professors at Columbia say these things, I just so glad that a guy like Robert Kraft can use the power and wealth that he has. As a push back against it. Like he should. He has a point of view and if they're going to have these forces and many of the media pushing the other point of view, which is suddenly pro-terrorist, I think that it's great that he's using his power. If McLemore wants to say all that stuff on stage, their consequences, you're going to kick kicked out. You're not going to be invited to certain stadiums, but Robert Kraft has every right to do that. Cisodian. Right. All right. So coincidentally, Abdul El-Sayed, he actually did call out Lawrence Jones on bending to cancel culture just a few months ago.

So this is all very timely and funny. So let's watch that. Because you appear with somebody doesn't mean you agree with them on everything. Think about this. You have the president on the show all the time. He talks about grabbing people by parts of their bodies, I don't think you would ever consider. And that doesn't mean that you wouldn't appear with him. My question to you is, when did we start bending to cancel culture?

When did we start saying that cancel culture was okay? Because clearly on your show, you have a number of people who you don't agree with, including me. And I think it's important for all of us who want to win votes, who want to build America, to go and talk to anyone anywhere. And we only have limited time, so I don't want to cut you off. But I'm talking about someone standing with the number one state sponsor of terror. Well, it's important to talk about context. I'm never going to agree that 9-11 was justified. It was wrong. It was a horrible day for all of us. I'm never going to be okay with the innocent murder of civilians. I condemned Hamas and I condemned that attack on day one. The issue that you're trying to do is paint me out of context, the quotes, without a context, quotes taken out of context specifically to ask me these questions. And I'm going to play the same game with you. Why is it that you will not condemn the fact that the president of the United States talked about grabbing people by their body parts? And I would argue that's all part of the same cancel culture game. And I'll tell you this. All right, Jank, whenever it comes to cancel culture, they really can't seem to make up

their mind. One thing that we see from Republicans is that they really want rules to apply to them and not to everyone else because they don't like when things are flipped on them. Jank, I know you have more and also what are your thoughts there? So first on kill meat, I don't know if you'd notice, but as he's saying the last parts there, it was like his soul was getting drained out of his body, he was like, and that's why we We should have freedom of speech unless you're criticizing Israel, in which case you should be banned forever.

So you can go back and watch to see what he actually said. But you seem like getting depressed, soul's gone. Okay, now, when we talk about cancer culture in the past, are we going to be consistent? Because wait, wait a minute, we were always against cancel culture. And what we did was we pointed out, did the left do some cancer culture? Yes, okay, if you're pretending we didn't, that's just not. not true, portions of the left did a lot of cancel culture. But if you think, if you're on the right wing and you think the right wing never did cancel

culture, just go back and watch Young Turks videos, hundreds and hundreds of examples. And it doesn't, you don't even have to go backwards because you can say right here. This is an example of them saying, well, I mean, if it defends us, of course it should be canceled. No, that's the exact opposite of freedom of speech. Freedom of speech isn't for, hey, you look nice today. Nobody wants to cancel that. Nobody wants to ban that. It's for controversial speech.

Why do we need controversial speech? Because you never know, sometimes it turns out they're right. And it's not just about that, it's about the very idea of freedom. Are we free to speak our minds? Are we free to have our own thoughts and state them or are we not? Do we live in an oppressive system and society and government that doesn't allow us to say our true opinions, doesn't allow us that freedom that is essential and at the core of America. And so what we said was we're 100% against this cancel culture on either side.

Can you do it? Yeah, we explained, it depends. The government can't do it, but private institutions can. But just because you can doesn't mean you should. And we said you shouldn't in every instance, by the way, including defending Ben Shapiro and Anne Coulter and other and Charlie Kirk, going to college campuses and speaking there. Even when it was the most controversial position on the left, we said they should not be banned. They should not be canceled. We've been incredibly consistent on this issue. Now, Sean Hannity and others discover, oh, no, if it's a private institution, they could do

whatever they want. Well, that's what we were saying before, and you were like, no, I don't understand words and concepts, right? So now they're like, oh, you can do whatever he wants. But they're not addressing, yes, but should he? which brings us to the third point, which is, so in this case, this is because Maclemore said, to be fair, something truly outrageous, he said free Palestine, that's it? Yeah, that's it.

And we read you the rest of what he said during the speech and it was like, hey, we don't want kids getting killed, it was relatively benign. I mean, on any average young church show, you're gonna find something 10,000 times more fiery about Israel, right? And Robert Kraft's like taking a note, cancel young Turks. But Robert, trust me, your brothers and sisters in the radical Zionist movement are already trying. So, and if you don't know, Robert Kraft is one of the biggest Zionist thugs in this country. He was a pivotal player in trying to get the peace protesters banned at Columbia and get them arrested, make sure they don't get their diploma, make sure they go on a blacklist that others were

working on like Bill Ackman and Kevin O'Leary and others, oh, you make sure they never get hired. They criticized Israel inside America. How dare they have freedom? Take it away, Israel. Israel, take their rights away, okay? And the radical Zionist thugs like Robert Kraft come in and go, destroy the American students.

They have betrayed our beloved Israel, which this government and Colombia and the patriots, now I thought they were the New England Patriots. Turns out there, the Israeli patriots. So destroy them all on behalf of beloved Israel. But we are against cancel culture. No, Israel is the king of cancel culture. Guys, these days it's a little bit harder because the walls have been breached. So it's really hard to fire 60% of the country.

But three years ago, and then it's a moving spectrum. But three years ago, it's near 100%. And I've dozens and dozens, maybe at this point, Hundreds of people have shared these stories with me. First of all, just go ask any Muslim American. Everybody has a story, but it's not just Muslim Americans. Now we're totally into white Christian Americans, we're into Macklemore. Everybody's canceled if you dare oppose Israel in any way, shape, or form.

They don't care. They destroy Muslim villages, they destroy Christian villages. They don't care about any of that. The only thing guys like Robert Kraft care about is like it's in a loop in his brain the whole time, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel. And probably in the middle of the Super Bowl, he's like, who should I cancel for Israel, okay? So there's a great Robert Kraft story I'll tell you at that. You're going to love that one. Okay, so these guys, fun groups like Canary Mission, stop antisemitism.com, and other Zionist thugs whose job is to terrorize innocent Americans in this country.

So if on social media, you did something as benign and we covered this story. A business executive I know sent me in a note saying, you know, these people showed up out of nowhere told me that I had to fire one of my employees and I said, why? They said she's an anti-Semite. And if you don't fire her, your whole company is anti-Semites and will destroy your company. And he's like, oh my God, what did she do? I don't want, you know, anti-Semmich. On social media, she had a Palestinian flag. She thinks Palestinians are humans. Anti-Semite, fire her, otherwise will destroy your whole company. A bunch of terrorist thugs inside America, trying to destroy anyone who dares criticize Israel or even acknowledge the Palestinian flag,

the Palestinian people. And now you say the other set of human beings should be free, they say no, they should never be free. And by their freedom offends me. It's anti-Semitic for them to have freedom. Freedom is reserved only for the Israelis. Now guys, do you see how deeply racist this is? I can't imagine anything more racist.

That someone else's freedom offends you and that we should give a damn that you're offended. Are you kidding me? I love that you're offended. I would like to offend you so much more when you tell me that what offends you is the freedom of others. I want all of others to have freedom, so I hope you're deeply offended. Because you know, there's no end to the current government's greed. The Israeli government right now is totally out of control.

So soon if we say southern Lebanon should be free, anti-Semites destroy all Americans who oppose Israel. How dare you say that any other nation should be free? They should all be under Israel's thumb and under their boot. But you see how Israel's so lovely, and I don't know why anybody objects to Israel. I mean, after we crush all of you and take away all your freedoms, and by the way, your money, and your military and your troops, and after they die in our wars, well, it doesn't matter because you're already not free. We control your government completely. We control the stadiums.

We control the concerts. We control the universities. And I'm not talking about Jewish people, guys. Most Jewish people in this country, two-thirds are opposed to the current Israeli government. But I'm talking about radical Zionist thugs who are looking to terrorize all of us. And they go, oh, what power could we have? We're such a small little nation filled with billionaires. And besides which, they're not even in Israel, they're in America.

But there's dozens of radical Zionist thug billionaires in this country. And they spend an unbelievable amount of money because they think, yeah, but who cares if I spend 10 million or 100 million? I'm gonna get these dogs, these servants of mine, who are US congressmen and senators, to send all the American taxpayers money to Israel. They've already spent trillions on the wars, hundreds of billions directly into Israel's pocket, so they think, well, this is good, you know, for the cause and for the charity, so that Israel can dominate the Middle East and dominate their neighbors and steal all their

land. I don't know why anybody's objecting, right? So you should all despise the New England, I'm sorry, the Israeli patriots, and Robert Kraft is one of the most evil men in this country. Yes, can he cancel someone from his own stadium? He can. Should he? No, he shouldn't.

But the media shouldn't attack everyone who criticizes Israel, but they do. They shouldn't do propaganda for Israel, but they do. The government shouldn't give all of our money to Israel and send us to go die for Israel, but they do. And then when you point all this out, they're like, oh, that's a trope that we control you. Take them off the air. But wait a minute, what do you mean?

You can't say at the same time, I don't control anything, and I will cancel McLemore and try to destroy his career. Both those things can't be true at the same time. And by the way, did it work? Did Robert Kraft have that kind of power? And the other Zionist thugs who own those NFL stadiums? Yeah, of course, did they prioritize American rights? No, they prioritized Israel.

Because they were so offended that the Palestinians might be free. And that the idea of the Palestinians being free upsets the Zionist thugs so much that they're like, no, that's a take away America's freedom. They're not allowed to have freedom if they're gonna oppose us. And that's the reality we all live under right now. We all live under the oppression of thugs like Robert Kraft, who have taken our freedoms day in and day out, who bought our politicians, who bought our government, who bought our media, and apparently our football teams, and now say, you live a lot of our football, and now say,

You live under our control. And you'll go to any war Israel orders you into. You'll give them any money, any bombs that they order you. And if you don't, we'll call you anti-Semites and we'll have our dogs, not just in the Zionist thug radical terrorist groups inside America that terrorize all Americans, but it will also get mainstream media to call you an anti-Semite and try to destroy your life. This is the oppression we live under. We're not free.

And the reason we're not free is because of people like Robert Kraft. Yeah. And you know, first of all, I just want to do. I'm sure that McElmore knew that there would be consequences to saying what he said on the stage on that platform that he said it on. He knew that there was going to be some kind of backlash. And I have to believe that that was part of a calculated risk that he was saying. Because Tommy Laren, she was actually right. McElmore hasn't had a hit in a very long time.

I don't really know how he got on Ed Shearin's tour. He's not the most popular musician at this exact moment. But you could probably argue that he's just as well known now. for his activism as he ever was for thrift shop when it first came out. But I do actually agree that cancel culture has gotten out of control, but because cancel culture in its current manifestation, it's far from what it started off as. It started off as basically capitalism. It was a product of the free market.

If a company or a brand did something or said something that the people didn't like, then the people were able to choose to spend their money elsewhere. It's just a laissez-faire cancellation. And there are some instances where people shouldn't be allowed to promote hate speech and things like that. But that is not what this is. This is obviously not what this is. And has Robert Kraft banned somebody like Kanye West from any of his stadiums? I don't think so.

And Kanye West has said things that are actually anti-Semitic, far worse things than anything that McElmore could have possibly said. And they're so bad that I don't even want to repeat them here. But nobody has ever canceled, canceled Kanye West in that way. Kanye West always had a right to say what he wanted to say in the name of creating art for the people, right? He gets a lot of passes for things. And McElmore, like he knows. He knows what he is. He knows his standing.

But he also, I have to believe, knew what he was doing when he did all of this. Look, Kanye West, ironically, since he attacks Jews, they care less about it. They only care if you attack Israel. Because they're not representing Jewish people. They're representing Zionism. So same with Fuentes, they never talk about him. He's wildly anti-Semitic, says all these things about world jewelry, et cetera, and they're like, oh yeah, good, good, good, no problem, no problem.

Tucker Carlson says, don't hate Jewish people, that's, you know, blood guilt, that's like the worst thing you could possibly do, but Israel's doing these things wrong. They're like, cancel him, destroy Tucker Carlson. And look, you know they don't care about Jewish people because they hide behind them and endanger them every day. They're like, oh, we didn't do the genocide. That's the Jewish state. So you're criticizing all Jews if you say that Israel did a genocide. No, but the Jews in America didn't vote for it.

In fact, 63% of them are against the Netanyahu government. Nope, nope, you have to blame all the Jews. So they don't mind throwing Jews under the bus at all, even though they themselves are Jewish. But remember, a lot of them are not Jewish. Kevin O'Leary is not Jewish, Rupert Murdoch is not Jewish, Ted Cruz, Lindsey Graham, well, the late Lindsey Graham, et cetera, the Christian Zionists. But it's not about a religion, it's about a fascist mentality, it's about nationalism run amok. And these guys are in a cult.

And so to them, like endangering other Jewish people, you know, destroying people's lives and careers, et cetera, it's all for a good cause. And remember in this sick cult, they're taught that if you don't attack first, the whole world hates you anyway, no matter what you do. So that's why everything you do is totally perfectly fine, because all criticism is by definition invalid, because it comes from Jew haters, and they're hating you for being Jewish, not because of what you've done. So everything you're done is perfect.

No one is allowed to question it. If they do, it's not your fault for doing something wrong, it's their fault for questioning it. And if we don't all attack all the anti-Semites right now, they're going to kill us all. They're going to kill us all. And they keep telling other Jewish people, like, oh, you should be afraid of everyone who isn't Jewish. You should hate people who aren't Jewish because they're going to kill us all. They're going to kill us all.

We have to strike first. Again, this is not anywhere near the majority of Jewish people. This is the radical Zionists. They've lost their minds. They're in this disgusting cult who's now celebrating genocide. What happened and never again? Are you kidding me? All right.

So look, guys, the genocide is the worst of the worst, unconscionable. The fact that they made us pay for murdering all those kids, I'll never get past it. But on top of that, they've dragged us into the most disastrous war that has absolutely nothing to do with us. The whole world hates this Iran war. The only country who wanted it was Israel. But on top of that, they're now in our homes, taking away our rights. rights as we speak. This is not just Robert Kraft at a stadium he owns.

By the way, the American public, the local citizens of that area paid for that stadium. But oh, look at that. He bribed a bunch of, legally bribed a bunch of politicians. And they said, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll take the taxpayers' money and give it to you so you could have everything for free. Oh, what a coincidence. The reality is the people that live around New England own that stadium. But you don't have the rights to it, because Robert Kraft took those.

rights from you. He took your property. He's now taking your freedom of speech away. And on college campuses, that's not his stadium. That's not his private property. It's public property. And he says, I don't care. If they criticize Israel, take away their rights and have them arrested. Stuff them into a prison cell for criticizing Israel. I'm offended. And Robert Kraft being offended is apparently way more important than kids' actual lives. 23,000 dead kids. Who cares? They're just Palestinians. What do you want to do? Free them, you anti-Semite? What do you want to do? For us not to murder them, you anti-Semite? If you weren't an anti-Semite, you would love that we murdered those 23,000 kids. And you would love that I'm gonna stuff you under a prison cell,

if you dare disagree. By the way, I'll also take away your money. If you try to do boycott or sanctions of Israel, and you live in over 30 American states, we bought the governors. We legally bribed them. So, like, DeSantis goes over to Florida, signs a bill, taking away freedom of speech from his own citizens of Florida in front of his bosses. And he says, I am your servant, Ron DeSantis, and I'm here to take away Florida's rights, and I'll sign this in Jerusalem and kiss your wall and kiss your ass while I'm doing it. So yeah, no, these thugs are coming for our Constitution because they can't stand the idea that anyone is allowed to disagree with them.

So that's why you'll enjoy the last story. Robert Kraft meets Putin, is the story I promised you. And Robert Kraft is used to pushing everyone around and bullying them and canceling them and trying to destroy their lives. He's like, what? I'm a billionaire and I'm a Zionist, I'm offended, or destroy him, I'm offended. So he runs into Vladimir Putin. Putin's not a guy who's used to being pushed around.

He likes to go the other way on that. And I'm not a fan of Putin, but I am a fan of what he did here, now that I know all about Robert Kraft. So they meet and Putin goes, oh wow, look at that Super Bowl ring. Crafts, yeah, that's right, I've got a lot of them. I don't know if his ring is made out of our constitutional rights. But anyways, Putin goes, hey, can I take a look at that? He's like, yeah, sure, and he's bragging. And Putin's like, oh, that's really nice. And puts it in his pocket and walks out of the room. And crap's like, what happened? What do you mean? Where are you going to get my ring back? He's like, no.

To this day, Putin has crafts, one of Kraft's Super Bowl ring. I love that. That's the only good thing Vladimir Putin's done. That's an amazing story. And yeah, it's hard to root for either of those people. But, you know, that is the state of the world that we're in. What an amazing story that was. Yep.

All right, we got to take a break. Otherwise, I keep kicking Robert Kraft's ass all day until they cancel me. Well, we had to. He criticized Israel. I mean, what are you, an American? You think you have rights? We'll be right back. Professor Salm Hiker, what is your take on him?

I think there's a terrible liability. Let's go to comments on X. Troy Hicks says we're not respected anymore across the world. That is so true and it bothered, it greatly bothers me. Bernard Werber says, dude, I enjoy your takes. Appreciate it, dude. Thank you, Bernard. Little Max Corner on Super Chats says, just wanted to say thank you.

Yes, I notice all. I appreciate it. Moving on, TYT, John knows something, not nothing. I appreciate him and you, take care of all of you everywhere. Always, all we can do is our best. Well, thank you, brother. We appreciate it. You're always good to us.

Ali writes in, tech companies want to be regulated to use it as a way to get the government to cover their losses like they did for the banks in 2008. The banks said the government had oversight and should bear responsibility and an obligation to step in. So I think that there's a good chance that you're right about that. But at the same time, we could regulate them, but not in the way that they want, but in the way that the American people want. I know it seems impossible to deny rich people anything in this country anymore, but we could do that if we actually had honest politicians. Trotogern's Dragon, right, said, hey, I know of a backdoor to the White House if you wanted to get in.

Either you, Jank or John or any other TYT host, Trump is such a joke. No, it's okay. I don't need a back door. I'm good. All right, we'll be back. CYT, Jank and Yaz with you guys. First, let me tell you about something that could really help you. You know how I talk about framing all the time?

What do they want you to look out? What do they want you to ignore? How are they framing stories? What are the two sides? Well, ground news is a perfect place where you could see all of that because they have it side by side. It's an app and a website that pulls together reporting from across the political spectrum so you can compare coverage in one place. You can compare headlines side by side, see the bias distribution. of the coverage, check the factuality ratings of the sources, and even see who owns the

outlets reporting on it. So if you wanna stay informed without getting played by the media spin, I think ground news is a super valuable tool. So you can use that QR code that you're seeing on the screen, or you can go to ground. dot news slash t-y-t. That's ground. dot news slash ty-t. And using our link gets you 40% off the ground news vantage plan.

So I'd do it now. All right. So now, let's go to our next story. We have got to be pumped up. These are exciting times. There's no reason to feel down. We are winning in Iran. Gas prices were higher under George W. Bush 20 freaking years ago.

It is amazing what they have pulled off. It's amazing. You're right, something's amazing. You know, people watch that and think it's real. And they go home, they're like, oh my God, we're winning in Iran. It feels so good to win this war. I mean, I am paying a lot more in gas, but I guess that's what winning. I'm actually coming to think about it, I'm paying a lot more in everything, but I guess that's

what winning looks like. You know what Donald Trump was right? I am getting a little tired of winning. If this is what winning is. So yes, tell us about all the developments in the Iran war and how we might not actually be winning. Yeah, I mean, it turns out Iran is just not as weak as MAGA and Trump keeps telling us that they are and they're not scared of us, it doesn't seem. So let's take a look at that.

You see here, there's a lot going on. There's so many protesters out there. Okay, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency on Wednesday, for the 200th night, Iranians have taken to the streets to back the Islamic Revolution and protest the U.S., which they accuse of killing children. And, you know, they're not wrong. The Iranian government has really worked to rally its citizens and stress national unity as their economy continues to worsen as a result of this war. And, you know, their efforts do seem to be paying off.

And the citizens are gearing up to fight, which is honestly more than our citizens are doing here to protest anything that our government is doing. So according to a new report from the Associated Press, hundreds of thousands of Iranians rallied Friday in a government organized show of defiance after months of war pledging their readiness to take up arms in the biggest such demonstration. since the United States and Israel attacked in February. And for days, state media have encouraged Iranians to join the campaign saying training with assault rifles would begin soon. The volunteers would be an additional layer of security to the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard and the busage militia, which has played a key role in quashing anti-government protests. So Tehran's Guard Chief General Hassan Hassan Zadeh told state broadcasters that over

600,000 people have registered to participate with over one million expected to take part in the training. On Friday morning, the broadcaster estimated over 300,000 people were on the streets. That is incredible. So the ex-account Sputnik shared some of the footage from the military parade on X. So let's take a look at that. So you can see them. The fact that this even happened, Jank, is incredible because I can't imagine seeing anything like that over here.

Yeah, so yeah, as I was taking a note on, you know, the neocons, the radical Zionists, i.e., all of Washington, told us that we would be greeted as liberated, just like they did with Iraq. Or you remember they're saying, we're doing this for the Iranian people, we're going to liberate the Iranian people. And we said that the Iranian people would rally around the flag if you started dropping bombs on their heads. Gee, I wonder who was right.

I mean, like, it's incredible, like the footage that we're seeing out there. And, you know, and the people who are there in the parade, like, they're not volunteers. These are people who were joined, they were joined by members of the IRGC's Basage Militia and other security forces. Okay. So the new head of the passage, which is Hussein Taib, declared in a speech as the rally began, that the volunteers will be ready for full-fledged defense and similar rarcese. rallies will take place in other cities soon. The new trainees will make a nightmare for Iran's enemies, he added, as President Massoud

Pissachan, the military commanders, and other senior officials watch the march. And he did say this, he says, I'm here to tell Donald Trump that we Iranians have no fear about his threats against our homeland. And that was from Marsia Afagyi, who is 24 years old and attended the rally with her toddler and husband. And like that is so bad at, like can I say that? It's incredible. And she also mentioned that no one in history could invade Iran and remain there.

And that is, that is, those are fighting words. And that again, it's from a 24 year old mother to a toddler. And I just don't think that people over here in this country. And I don't mean to like keep comparing it. It's just like, like, Jenk, we keep seeing all these things that our government is doing against our land, against our government, against our constitution, against our people. And we all just say, oh, what can you do? And nothing ever changes.

And you know, I'm not arguing for like anarchy in the streets. But I am saying like we could the Iranian people like they're they're on to something. Yeah, I mean, look, the one of the differences is that our media is against our own people. And they run a super sophisticated propaganda operation. So if you said, hey, let's go in the streets to protest this war. Isn't it weird how there's almost no anti-war protests? So, like, Israel wanted the war, and all of a sudden, no one's protesting the war. Because, like, there's radical Zionists in almost every group.

And so even in, like, the big progressive groups that organize all the no-kings protests and stuff like that, somebody, somehow, when it comes to a war Israel wants, we can't find them anywhere. Because I guarantee there's someone internally going, if you do this, you're an anti-Semite, anti-Semite or whatever, right? A bunch of thugs running around telling us all the things we can't do. So the media, not being on our side and not being honest, is a giant part of this puzzle. Because when they came out and said the ridiculous thing that the Iranian people couldn't wait

to be liberated, they wanted us to invade and to kill their kids with our bombs and double taps and stuff, well, the media, if they were honest and objective, should have laughed them out of the room, say, like, isn't this the same exact thing you told us about Iraq? And remember how they pretended that they learned a lesson from Iraq? And next time they wouldn't get fooled like, they're not getting fooled, they're in on it. So they're like, oh, the same exact nonsense talking point about how they were gonna be greeted as liberators. And people are gonna love having their children murdered.

Oh, yes, that is a very legitimate point. Hey, how about the people against it? No, no, you're not allowed on TV. No, John Bolton, welcome back for the 200th time to tell us how great we are. Oh, look at all these Persians. Oh, we didn't tell you they're actually Zionists. Oh, they all say that, oh, their family members would love it if we killed them. By the way, their family members are not in Iran anymore.

That's why the Zionist Persians love the idea of attacking Iran because they don't care about Iran. All they care about is Israel. So they greatly betrayed all other Persians. I mean, if you could even consider them Persians. And so the lies are so obvious. No, when you bomb people, they don't say, oh, great, the liberators are here. They rally around the flag, just like we told you. They said it was going to be easy, just like they said in Iraq.

And it's not easy. Oh, weapons of mass destruction. Same exact lie. Same exact lie. And our media is like, oh, yeah, that makes sense. Oh, they're about to have nuclear weapons. They say they're about to have a nuclear weapon. They say they're about to have a nuclear weapon.

They say they're about to have a nuclear weapon. Hey, remember how you said after the Iraq war? Oh, we're not gonna make that mistake again. We're not gonna just regurgitate talking points about weapons of mass destruction. Yeah, my ass you're not. The minute Israel hands you the talking point, every dog on cable news comes out and goes, oh, weapons of mass destruction, they could have a nuke any second. Wait a minute, Donald Trump said we, the only reason we're in there is because, oh my God,

they shouldn't be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. But Trump, after the first time we invaded Iran and attacked them, said that we'd completely their nuclear facilities. So we literally have zero reasons to be in there, zero. But all of our press lied to you in unison and pretended there were legitimate reasons we could go in. And that the Iranian people were going to love being killed, just like the Iraqi people loved being killed.

What preposterous liars. So yes, I tell you that in this context, because when the media is lying to everyone nonstop, and there's just wall-to-wall propaganda for a different country. It's hard to get people to realize what's happening to them. And to, then they have to, and since all the, almost all the organizations are already co-opted by the Zionists, they have to create whole new institutions to protest this. And the minute they are, the media attacks them, everybody attacks them, anti-Semites destroy them, right?

So since we're so thoroughly occupied by the people who ordered this war, well, that's why we're why we can't, it's so hard to organize against it. And any time that somebody says something, like MacLamor says free Palestine, they take his head off and try to destroy his entire career. So that's, and then did you see all those things on cable news about how Iran has now gone? It sounds like at least 600,000 people that have joined like a new, like people's militia that what Yaz just told you, did you see that all over cable news and how the Iranian people hate this war and are not viewing us as liberators?

I mean, you might have seen bits of pieces, and obviously there are any people have fought back massively, so it's really hard to hide that. But these huge protests that are in favor of the Iranian government. And have every cable news anchor told you what a dumbass war this is, because it made their theocracy even stronger? It made their regime now nearly impenetrable. So if there really are democratic protests, which I would love, they have no chance anymore. So they totally killed the democracy movement in Iran and all for, of course, beloved Israel.

And Israel doesn't want Iran to be a democracy. They wanted to put that Shah clown puppet in to oppress the Iranian people on behalf of Israel, as they have done with almost all of their neighbors. Yeah, I mean, they killed the leader, and then they just put a new one in. They put his son in in place instead. And then the diesel across the country now is over $6. I think it was over $6.30 across the entire country. Both straits are now closed.

And there's a people's militia in Iran that is happening. It's unbelievable how unsuccessful all of this has been. I have to assume that Trump is getting some kind of kickback somewhere from someone because otherwise, why are we doing any of this? Pete Higgs said the fact that this is his first foray as any kind of military leader at all. And this is what he's chosen to do with it. And he's done it so, so badly. He can't afford to even, like, communicate what's going on over there with the American people, because it's just going to make him look even worse. He's worried about, like, like the body

measurements of our men in the military now, like very strange things that he is concerning himself with. And then he has the audacity to ask our Congress for millions, billions, more of our tax dollars. It is unbelievable. And Jank, Trump does have a little bit more, though, that he is planning, kind of. He's like signaling that something big could be happening, could be in the works regarding the war very, very soon. He's being very coy about it.

But this is what he told Axios just yesterday. He said, I have a big decision coming up. Do I want to go in and annihilate them, the Iranian regime? Or do I not? It's a big decision. Anything could happen with me. So this, of course, is coming just a few days before Trump's meeting with the Gulf country leaders to discuss any of the next steps. And he says, I want to find out where they are and how they're doing.

We have been very protective of them. And this meeting, it's crucial in shaping the next phase of the war, whatever the next phase of the war is even going to look like at this point. Because we really don't have any idea because Trump keeps telling us that he has achieved all of his goals, whatever they were, and that we've won the war. however many times I've lost count, but maybe they will be pushing for more diplomacy or intensified military action. Okay, so if Trump wants to resume major combat operations, he's going to need buy-in from all of our allies in the region, and that's including the six that I mentioned as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman. He did also like threaten to bomb Oman recently, but whatever he does decide to do, he needs to make a decision very fast, and that is a

according to U.S. officials. So Trump and Pete Hegseth have ordered the military to maintain its level of forces in the Middle East until at least the end of the year to remain ready for a potential return to full scale combat. At this point, I don't even know if we can even handle that because we keep hearing that all of our bases, all of our supplies are being depleted. But our bases and our diplomatic sites in the Middle East have suffered hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, including critical bases like the NSA Bahrain, and also there's

the increasing number of casualties, maintenance issues on the ships, things like that. Morale, not to put it lightly, that is very significant. It's putting a lot of pressure on the military. Jenk, any final thoughts before we wrap up on that? Yeah, so Donald Trump said that, as you pointed out there, he has, that he was considering annihilating all of Iran. Even if the Iranian leaders said we're thinking of back annihilating every American, what would we call them?

We'd call them terrorists, right? Let's be honest about it. Annihilating everyone, well, that's terrorism. So our president says it, like it's no big deal. No, it's a big deal. We shouldn't have a terrorist president. That's not a threat that is within the bounds of human decency. And it stains America when you're that.

deeply immoral as a leader. By the way, we did, they didn't attack us, we attacked them. Now, it had nothing to do with us, but Israel ordered us into that war, and we attacked them on behalf of Israel. Then Donald Trump says, bomb Oman. Oman's our ally. But on the other hand, Donald Trump said to bomb the bond market, that he's considering bombing Wall Street. This guy's a raging lunatic, and we're acting like it's normal. It's not normal. We have a total madman who's serving a different country as our president. And look, they're just, dug in and they're ready for the fight, the whole country is. Meanwhile, we're trying to get the hell out of there.

This war has, its popularity is down to 28%. The whole country wants us to leave, their whole country wants to fight, and Trump says, oh, they're about to give up. Do they look like they're about to give up, or does it look like our president is a pathological liar? It's not complicated, we know what the answer is. By the way, the Pentagon's been lying all along. There's not 18 American dead, there's at least 22 dead.

maybe 26, Washington Post just came out with a story. They've been lying all along because we're losing this war and our leaders are incompetent, evil people. We'll got to go now. Yaz, we appreciate you so much. Thanks. Check her out on Rebel HQ. When I come back, I'll do a fiery segment on the Revolution.

I'm the Revolution. I'm your host, Jane Hugar. So first, guys, I'm going to tell you about a little bit of revolution inside Israel and the brave folks leading it and the disastrous reaction to it. And then I want to get back home to hear and talk about J.D. Vance a little bit and asked you a poll question about it and want to interact with you guys on it. All right, so let's get started. So there's a new documentary out called Naza.

It's about the IDF's abuses and intentionally killing civilians in Gaza. So it has caused an uproar in Israel. Now the reality is they haven't even seen the movie yet, but they've seen little clips of it and they think, how dare you tell people the truth? So they're enraged and now they have surrounded the homes of the filmmakers, they're telling your way taking their citizenship away from them, and of course, in a fascist country, no one is allowed to tell the truth and they might imprison you if you do. So that's the situation that they're in.

Naza means collateral damage. It's an acronym in Hebrew. And the filmmakers are Israelis. They're Rachel Zor and Yuval Abraham. And it shows how the Israelis killed civilians in Gaza. And they're not claiming it, they're showing 24 people who were involved in the programs. And they have anonymously gone on the record and explained how they killed civilians on purpose. So there's no question that it happened.

We saw the results of it. The newspapers in Israel have already covered this story, the facts behind it. And now these are the individuals, some of the individuals who carried out those orders, and their consciousness deeply bothering them. So they're coming out and telling it in this story. Why do they have to be anonymous, by the way? Because they're worried that the other Israelis might take physical action against them, because the country is at this point crazed.

So I'm gonna show you polling at the end that shows you how crazed, The Israeli population has become, and you're gonna see it also in the midst of the story. So the Israeli government and military is enraged. The New York Times reports, on Monday, the Israeli military chief, Lieutenant General A. Al-Zamir, consulted with top generals about how to respond to the film, saying it is based on blood libeles and deliberate distortions of reality. He said the military would examine the possible legal measures against those suspected of disseminating false allegations and disclosing classified materials.

Now think about that guys, how could it be false allegations and classified materials at the same time? So if they're classified materials, then they're true. But if they're false allegations, obviously they wouldn't be in the classified materials. You don't write false allegations against yourself and put it and say this is top secret classified material. So obviously it is true, that's why it's in the classified materials. Oh, that's so weird that one of the generals responsible for a genocide is lying about the genocide.

Wow, that's so surprising. But the way that he's lying about it is really interesting. Because he accused those Jewish-Israeli filmmakers of doing a trope, an anti-Semitic trope. Now, they're Jewish, they're Israeli. It doesn't matter because that pony only has one trick. So blood libel, they say, is the worst trope of all. Well, wait a minute, what is blood liable? Blood labor is this absurd trope from back in like the 1800s when somebody made up this nonsense

about how Jews drink the blood of children or something. Now that's crazy and didn't happen, et cetera. But wait a minute, nobody's talking about drinking the blood of children. This is not the same thing is that. This is about, hey, a huge number of civilians have been killed. And yes, it's terrible, but 23,000 kids were killed. Nobody drank their blood, nobody is talking about, they did it for some ritual. reason or something?

No, they're fascists and they kill those kids and that's a fact. They say, but if you state facts, we're going to pretend that you're anti-Semitic, even if you're Jewish, even if you're Israeli. We're going to pretend that it's a trope that has nothing to do with this particular situation at all, and we don't care what the facts are. And by the way, that's exactly how American media reacts as well. So whenever you accuse Israel of killing those kids, they don't say it's not true, it's definitely is true, everybody acknowledges that. Those kids are entirely dead, they're not around,

but they say, yeah, but you're not allowed to say, because blood liable, trope. So now when you see them doing it to Israeli Jewish people, understand what an obvious lie that is and how our media participates in obvious Israeli propaganda. So now let's continue with Israel's reaction. Israel's Minister of Culture, Miki Zohar went so far as to ask the authorities to examine or whether the directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Zor, could be stripped of their Israeli citizenship on grounds of betraying the state of Israel. So now those filmmakers are actually believe in Israel, and they believe that Israel can get to a better place, that the better angels of Israel can win.

And what these generals and the ministers, and by the way, some of the, a lot of the journalists, journalists in Israel are all claiming is no, we are not going to go towards our better angels. And if you want us to act humanely and not committed genocide, maybe you're not Israeli at all. Because all Israelis agree to this genocide is basically what they're saying. Now you're gonna see the polling in a second. It's not all, but it is a devastatingly high number. So they're saying you might not be Israeli. Well, I mean, that's the sad state of Israel at this point.

that if you don't agree to do these monstrous things, they don't even consider you Israeli. And then they can't figure out why the world's angry with them. Yeah, it must be because everyone else, including other Jews, irrationally hate Jews. And guys, it sounds so unbelievable, but you have to remember they're in a cult so they can't see straight. They don't, they're in a different bubble than us. And in their bubble, they really, really believe that the whole world is anti-Semitic, including a huge number of Jews, and that they all do trope.

and that Israel's never done anything wrong. And the only reason why anybody criticized them is, I hate Jews. So of course ignore their criticism. They're trying to kill us, so we have to kill them first. So that's the sad, sad state. And by the way, I love these Israeli filmmakers for making this movie. But look at this. So if anyone tells you actual anti-Semitism that all Jews are the same,

well, by definition, that's not true. The filmmakers are Jewish, the people on camera whose consciousness is wracking them with guilt are also Jewish and Israeli. All of these, so many of the peace protesters here in America are Jewish. 63% of Jewish Americans are against the Net Yahoo government. But they still say all of these lies and all these propaganda for the radical Zionists, which is a different group. And unfortunately, our media here in America is filled to the rim with radical Zionists

who say the same exact nonsensical talking points on behalf of the Zionist cult that has taken over Israel. So there's two bills that Netanyahu wants to introduce that specifically target the filmmakers. And he says they have defamed the Israeli military and that they have, quote, they have no place among us. Think about that. The people who said never again say, if you don't agree to do it again, to do a giant genocide, well, then you have no place among us in Israel. That is a devastating indictment, not of the filmmakers, but of the state of Israel. And so, a union of journalists, by the way, we actually compliment the Israeli press all the time. A lot of the facts we've gotten, including about the Where's Daddy program, which is in this movie, was from the Israeli press.

But apparently the union of journalists is deeply corrupted inside Israel as well. they compare the documentary filled with nothing but facts to mind comf. They've lost their minds, and that's what people and cults do. They lose their minds. They become detached from reality. So if you don't know what where his daddy is, well, that's among the things that are featured in the movie Naza, and it's an AI program pretending to pick terrorists, people that are not necessarily terrorists at all, AI goes and goes and goes.

He goes, well, that phone is connected to that phone, which is connected to that thing, which is connected to another phone. All right, good enough, let's kill that guy. When that guy's not remotely interiors, but it gets way worse. The reason it's called where his daddy is because they wait for that person to go home first so they could drop a bomb on the home, thereby killing all of his family and his kids with him. That's the state. You want to talk about Miancov?

That's the state of fascism that the Israeli government is doing wrong. right now. Yeah, I've seen who the fascists are, and it's the Israeli government. It's Benjamin Nanyahu and all of these people. So 24 people anonymously explaining these programs, Israeli military people saying, yes, we definitely did this, yes, we murdered the civilians, yes, on purpose. And of course, the reason why Israel is reacting so viciously to this is because that's the definition of terrorism.

If the world finds out that the terrorists are the Israelis, well, then they're in a lot of trouble because then the American government officials that they have legally bribed with hundreds of millions of dollars in campaign contributions, the Zionist thugs here in America who purchase our politicians, 94% of Congress gets money from the Israeli lobby. Every president, almost every president in my lifetime, their number one lifetime donor was the Israeli lobby. And what does every president do in both parties? Listen to Israel nearly 100%.

What does Congress do every time there's a bill in front of Congress about Israel? They fund it 100% of the time. But that's going to get difficult if it turns out the American people find out we're funding terrorists. We're funding a genocide. Then America's going to ask, why do you want to send my money to murder kids? Well, that's an uncomfortable question. That's why anyone who brings you those facts must be destroyed. on behalf of Zionism and Israel.

So at this point, the premise of the film is, as they have filmmakers explained, quote, the systems behind Israel's calculated mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. So but the Israeli people are furious with them because they still view it as self-defense. How could it be self-defense to murder 23,000 kids? Were those kids all about to kill you? But if you're in a cult detached from reality, you think yes, that seven year old was about to murder all the Jews in Israel. Kill him, kill him right before.

He was hard to throw a stone. Oh my, by the way, that's not remotely true. They're killing totally random children. But in this deranged cult, they think, no, that they're the ones in danger. You have nukes, you have Iron Dome, you destroyed all of Gaza. We can see it with our own eyes, all the buildings are gone. People are living in tents. You have 70% of Gaza that you're planning to keep.

You stuff them into 30%. Gaza was already tiny the size of Vegas. Now it's 30% is an open air concentration camp. And they're like, no, no, no, concentration camps are a good thing. And you know, if you're a good moral person and you don't hate Jews, you would love the concentration camp in Gaza. You would love that we did mass killings of civilians and children. No, no. Good Jewish people do not like that, good Christians, Muslims, anyone.

It doesn't matter. Decent human beings do not like that. They think it's disgusting. So now we go back to the reactions. Gotti Isankad, who's supposed to be the moderate in the Israeli elections, as the New York Times explains, a centrist vying for the premiership and former military chief who lost the son in the fighting in Gaza, said it presented a distorted picture and demonstrated moral blindness and a detachment from reality.

Now that is hilarious and ironic, okay? He's like they're so detached from reality. They don't realize that murdering kids is great, it's wonderful, and it's what decent moral people would do. Objecting to murdering children, a stadium full of children is immoral. How dare they object? They sound like Nazis. Only Nazis wouldn't want to murder kids.

They say this stuff out loud. You're comparing them to mind cop and saying they're detest of reality? Eisencott, the moderate in the Israeli elections, sounds like a lunatic. Okay, he continues. They say he wrote in a social media post, Criticism is legitimate in a democratic society, but there's an abyss between it and smearing the good name of our soldiers in order to reap applause at festivals abroad.

I don't think they did it for that. I think they did it so that Israel could get to a better place. I would argue those filmmakers love Israel way more than any of these people, the generals, the politicians, et cetera. So those generals and politicians are willing to destroy the idea of Israel, they're willing to get the whole world to hate them, just so they can have more land, more land. We need the West Bank's Judean and Samir, God promised it to us. And think about how racist that idea is.

God promised it to you and the people that currently live there, God said they are not the superior race, they're an inferior race, the Palestinians, the Lebanese, etc. And they should be removed from that land. They should be wiped clean off that land so that you can possess it. Is there a more racist idea when you murder people based on their race or religion and then take all of their land and property? That is a maximum racist, maximum. Yet Zionists say, no, if you don't agree to my racism, I'm offended.

If you don't agree to my fascism, I'm offended. If you don't agree to my terrorism, I'm offended. If you don't agree to my genocide, I'm offended. To which I reply, who would, which decent moral person would care that you're offended? Why would we care? Wouldn't we want to offend you? Now I'll do an analogy and then it'll make them lose their minds, so I've got no problem with it.

There's been other genocides and there's been things worse than genocide, like a Holocaust. Imagine if in the middle of the Holocaust, the Germans were like, don't you dare criticize the Nazis? The Germans are offended. You're being racist against Germans. Make sure that you applaud the Nazi regime. In fact, you have to send money to the Nazis. If you don't send money to the Nazis, you're an anti-Germanist.

And what they're doing doesn't bother me. You're not sending them money to murder more Jewish people, Poles, Roma, etc. That's offensive because you're being racist against Germans. Yes, that's how absurd you sound if you're still in Israeli defending this genocide and saying, well, I'm offended, I should get to kill you and take your land. And if you don't like me murdering you and your kids and stealing your land, well, then you're an anti-Semite and I get to do it even more to you. Jesus, man, there are no bounds of decency left?

Okay, so of course, and I'll answer that question immediately. Of course not. So what is, what have Israeli protesters done? Surrounded the homes of the filmmakers. Now threatening them and bullying them, and what does it sound like? It sounds like SS guys going to the good Germans and saying, you better not object to what we're doing to the Jews and the polls and everyone else. You better not object.

Otherwise, you're gonna be in trouble. You're now betraying the German state. So the Daily Star explains dozens of far-right Israelis gathered outside filmmaker Rachel Zor's family home on Wednesday on September 16th, calling for her to be hanged over her documentary. They want to hang her in public because they're the good guys. That's what I mean by detest from reality. You know you're detest from reality when you're like, in order to do the moral thing, let's

hang that bitch, let's ring her and kill her because she's an anti-Semitic Jew, Israeli. She wants us to do the right thing and not kill civilians, so let's murder her. You sound like a fascist, you act like a fascist, but walks like a duck, it talks like a duck, It's probably a Nazi. Okay, so this is exactly how Nazis act. But they can't see it, they can't see it. They think the Nazis are outside. No, the call is coming from inside the home.

So they're of course being called traitors and treasonous. And by the way, nobody's even seen the movie yet inside Israel. They did the movie, the guys who spoke out, said it in Hebrew, because they're not addressing it to the rest of the world. They're addressing to the Israeli citizens. They're saying, please turn around, please turn around. This is deeply immoral and it's ruining Israel. What happened to a safe haven for Jews?

That's a good idea. Now taking other people's land for that was not a good idea. But if a safe haven existed, that would be a good thing, obviously. I want two independent and safe and free states. But the Israelis say, no, no, only we should be free. And if you say free Palestine, you're an anti-Semite, your freedom offends me. And me being offended is so much more important. than anyone else's freedom or their lives.

So this is the state of the country. So Daily Sahr explains, according to Heretz, some protesters called for the death penalty for traitors. One protester said that when Zor and Abraham return to Israel, quote, they should be tried and go to the gallows. And the family should be expelled and the house sealed. So blood guilt. So not only should they be murdered, the filmmakers, but their families should be expelled too. Because if you're a racist, you believe in genetics, just like the Germans thought that they were the superior race. Not all Jews, in fact, I don't know a single Jewish American that believes this.

But in Israel, there's a completely different culture. And not all of them, but a giant percentage of Israelis believe they are the chosen people, that God chose them. God chose them to have this land. God chose them to remove the people and God chose them to be superior. God chose them to do anything they want. And so it is genetic, they believe. We don't believe it's genetic at all. We're actually trying to protect Jewish Americans and Jews across the world.

No, what do you? It literally can't be genetic because there's Jews saying the beautiful, correct, moral things, and then there's other Jews who are not, just like all other humans, right? So it's obviously not genetic, it's obviously not based on the race or the religion, but they say, no, go to me to once. The Germans had that on their buckle belts. buckle belts, God is with us. And the Israeli radical Zionists literally say the same thing. God is with us, quote, mit uns. And we are the chosen people. That's why it's not a moral

crime to kill people and take their land. And so that's the state we're in. And finally, where are the Israeli people on this? Because it's one thing if you, you know, some rogue government officials, we're told all the time by the propagandists that call themselves reporters in America that do propaganda nonstop for Israel. We're told that no, no, no, the Israeli people, they're wonderful, they're angels, they're angels, they're angels, it's just Ben Gavir and Smote Rich. And now they've added Netanyahu before they were reluctant, but then no, no, no, once Netanyahu's gone, and Ben Kabir is much tiny, tiny little ministers, they're not a big

deal. No, those are the big three inside the Israeli government, they totally utterly ran Israel. And the reason they want to minimize it is because Ben Gavir and Smokers just say it. They say we'd like to kill them all and take their land. They just flat out say it because they're flat out Nazis. And so American media doesn't want you to find that out because then you might not want to send more money to Nazis. So that's why they lie to you 24-7 and pretend just like these guys are.

You want to talk about detached from reality. Our media is detached from reality. They say just like these. No, Israel's the victims. They're just doing self-defense. Do you know not a single cable news anchor has used the word genocide, describe what Israel's done? They're just as radical as these lunatics I'm telling you about that's inside Israel. They go, no, I don't see a genocide.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The real problem is the terrorist Palestinians. Israel being terrorists, how dare you? They're allowed to murder any civilians they're like. On purpose, of course. That's not terrorism when Israel does it. They've done 75 October 7th in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon. And our press goes, so what?

So October 7th, worst thing since the Holocaust, 75 October 7th, not a genocide, not a big deal, not the worst thing since the Holocaust, they're just Palestinians. They're just Arabs, Muslims? You want us to care about Muslims? No, no, no, no. There is a chosen race. You tell me if the American media said it. These are empirical facts.

Not a single cable news anchor has said the truth about what? what Israel has done. Now, one of them has had the courage to call it a genocide. Israeli filmmakers are doing it. They're showing the courage under these difficult circumstances. But the cowards who call themselves cable news anchors, the cowards who call themselves reporters and journalists in America, they will not do likewise. Instead, they do Israeli probably. By the way, why did they do that? Because they know, if they say it, they'll lose their multi-million dollar job on cable news. They know that some Zionist thug will come out of nowhere and go, oh, that's it, you're an anti-Semite, just like Macklemore, NBCMS Now, or CNN has every right to do anything they want with their own platform. So we removed you. You said free Palestine. How dare you treat the Palestinians as human? You're fired, right? And they all know that. That's why they don't say it. No, no, no. Israel is great. Israel's a wonderful country. You should send all of your money to. And if you don't, you're a disgusting anti-Semite. Send them money. You know, guys, if you think I'm exaggerating, literally right now, 2.8 billion dollars after Israel claimed, oh, we don't want any more money, which is a lie in the first place.

They wanted 10 more years of money, and they wanted all of our military technology. That's why they wanted to merge our military technology and data. But despite that, they say, yeah, yeah, never mind, never mind. Forget the 10 years, forget the things, you're gonna do that because we own you. And don't you dare to disagree with Israel, you anti-Semites? But on top of that, we want another 2.8 billion. What do you want it for? We want 40,000 bombs.

Holy cow, what are you gonna do with them? And what kind of bombs? 2,000 pound bombs. Those are genocide bombs. The shrapnel kills everyone within a thousand feet. It could take down whole civilian apartment buildings and it has. And Israel demands that we give all of that to them for free so that they can continue the genocide. And guess what?

Trump is saying, yeah, I'm not even gonna go to Congress, I'm just gonna give it. I'm gonna steal it from the American people and I'm gonna give it to them. And no one's objecting other than of course, Roeco. Other than Rokana, I haven't seen anybody animated. Bernie wrote a tweet, God bless, maybe others have said a peep or squeak. I haven't seen anyone on video other than Rokana. And they're like, oh yeah, that's normal. That's normal when you steal from Americans, you don't go through Congress like you're supposed

to, and you then you funnel all that to these genocidal maniacs. That's what the American people want. They don't want relief on gas prices, they don't want the money going to their kids for education. No, they wanted to go to Israel to kill more kids. I don't know, the Israeli lobby bribed me, so I'm saying these outrageous things. And it's okay because Jake Tapper and everybody on cable news is going to come out here and back me up. And if you dare object, they're going to destroy your life. Because we occupy you.

Soon, saying free America is going to be considered anti-Semitic. I guarantee it. You write it down in stone. Very soon, if you say free America, they will call you an anti-Semite and try to destroy your career, get you fired, and then go, oh, we don't control anything, we're the victims. So what do the Israeli people think? A Channel 13 news poll found that 68% of respondents did not believe the film's claims of intentional mass killings in Gaza, while 13% said they did, the poll also found that 48% supported

banning the film in Israel. Well, you wouldn't want to, you know, bother your pretty little minds. over just a little genocide. I mean, they're only Palestinians. They're inferior, right? They're not like the beloved and precious Israelis. I don't want to see that. Just keep killing them. Just don't tell me all the details. Murder anyone you like. That's 48% of Israel. Doesn't even want to see it. 68% say, oh, yeah, yeah, keep it going in Gaza. We haven't killed enough. Look, it's not genetic. It's not based on the religion. Most Jewish Americans don't agree. 13% of Israeli Jews don't agree. But 68% over two thirds say, we didn't get enough genocide, we'd like more.

And if anyone bothers us by telling us about it, we're gonna be super mad, we're gonna surround their homes and threaten their lives because we're the good guys, we're the moral ones. It certainly doesn't look like it. So to the filmmakers and to the soldiers, Israeli soldiers who came out. and admitted what was true. Thank you for having a conscious. Thank you for being moral.

Thank you for trying to guide Israel back to decency, morality, and humanity. And thank you for doing the most important thing of all, telling the truth. We appreciate you. And we'll give you safe haven if the Israeli, well, I think we'll give you safe haven, unless Robert Kraft says, no, send him back to be killed, and then maybe they will. But any decent moral country should obviously protect these filmmakers and any of the soldiers if they're outed to make sure that the fascists inside Israel do not murder them for speaking the truth. Okay, so that took a while. And I had to get that off my chest, and I'm super happy about it.

I'm going to tell you guys, one last thing, because I wanted to make sure that we did this. I want to give you a sense of it, too. So we had asked you guys this poll, and then we got a huge response to it. And I wanted to talk about it. So we asked, you know on YouTube, there's a vertical called posts. So that's basically like the X version on YouTube, it actually exists, but it's within your channel, right? Now it goes to people outside of your channel too.

But so if you go to the Young Turks YouTube channel under posts, that's where we put up our polls. We also put them up on t.y.t.com, but we put them under posts. So this one we asked, J.D. Vance is asking that the administration be given a second chance. Should the American people trust them again? A, hell no. B, yes, the first two years were an honest mistake. So right now with over 35,000 votes, it's 98 to 2, hell no.

So yeah, that's partly our audience, so that's not surprising, but it's also other people on YouTube as well. We encourage you to keep voting. And look, some of the polls are real questions. Real questions where we're super curious about what you think. Sometimes the polls, you guys wind up disagreeing with me or Anna or both of us and that's really interesting. And then we don't mind that at all and we share it with you guys. And sometimes it's to make a point.

I mean, really, who thinks, oh yeah, you know what? When the vice president says, yeah, give us two more years because we'd like to try again, that you should, no, that's admitting we totally, utterly screwing. this up, we were a disaster of these two years and I'm lying to you now and telling you, oh, we'll change everything in the next two years. Of course that's not true. And they're insulting our intelligence. So a couple of comments that were left underneath that.

Lord Voldemar, which is a hilarious, ironic handle here, said, don't trust any politician, no matter the party, each party is corrupt just in different ways. And by the way, this is under the post. You can comment under the post. Day ZD wrote in, if I said that right, probably not. Anyway, 21st century Muslims are doing their part. The IRGC is hoping the Democrats will save them while the Iranian resistance is expanding. The Jews are protecting Islam's holiest city and helping the Saudis fight the Houthis.

They are finished. This is a hilarious Israeli propaganda apparently. And there's all these bots, the Israeli bots. You notice he's like, oh no, the Israelis are protecting the Iranians by killing them. Israeli logic, okay. The US and Arabs told Erdogan to knock it off supporting extremists and Syria, none of this is true. Trump says all the time about how much he likes Erdog on the leader of Turkey.

And he had this leader of Syria spray, he sprayed perfume on the leader of Syria, Trump did. You see, the Israelis, the Zionist radicals, they think like lying is like a moral good. Well, we'll deceive people into supporting us and says we're so moral and wonderful the way we murder civilians. to make sure that that happens is a good thing. But those that listen to the Young Turks, they conclude wouldn't know any of this, guess where the term Young Turks came from? So they're like, ha ha, we got you. The 98% that said J.D. Vance was wrong?

No, JD Vance is right. America's job is to kiss Israel's ass and to kneel before Israel and to make sure that you help with the genocides. Well, oh, Israeli bot, you have really convinced me. You sound so genuine. Citizen Donna Champ says this sounds like this South Bark episode instead of an oil company. It's JD who sets out on his own ridiculous PR campaign. All he needs is him laying naked face down on a couch by a fireplace and repeatedly says,

we're sorry, we're deeply sorry. As Pete stands in the corner covering his nipples and peanut butter eyeing up the family hamster, Trump sits in the driveway in a van with the words free candy inside written on the side in his shape. WTF peace. See, now that was amusing. Okay. Fuchs, let's pronounce it that way, he says he's going to be the president very easily. I guess that's sarcastic.

I hope it's sarcastic. Blue Guil triple prime says, are these people doing their show from Turkey? They don't look that young. Okay.

So if you look at a Pures Morgan video as an example, all the first comments will be like, oh, who are, Jake, Dave Smith, Glenn Greenwald, whoever's, the Anacusvarian, whoever is criticizing Israel. Oh, no Americans like them. We love Israel. We love their genocide. Oh, these guys are anti-Semites, right? And those are the bots and trolls that Israel sends it. And then after a while they run out and then the rest of the comments are all, universally all against Israel. So they send in these stupid bots and trolls as part of their stupid propaganda campaigns. X loves it, Elon Musk. He's like, oh, I am going to find the bots on X. Oh, Israeli bots, yes, sir, of course, sir, swarm.

Anything you want, Israel, anything you want. Elon, have you kissed an Israeli ass recently? Anyways. And lastly, Darren Rose says, what happened to no more endless wars in the Middle East?
