I'm a double. The guy!

1:32

Cairks, Jank U Granik is sparing with you guys. A show that offers no apologies. Yep. And we represent the American people and we are not going to be cowed by anyone. And we're gonna tell you the truth. The truth is that we are about to go to war with Iran. It's now more certain than it's ever been. We're gonna give you the details in a minute. It is driven 100% by Israel. And once they get us into this disastrous war, I want you to remember who did this to you. It was the Israeli lobby that demanded that 80% of Americans be ignored. I'm gonna say it throughout the show because I'm sick of all the government, everyone in government, almost everyone and almost everyone in the national media, obviously working for Israel, obviously. So you don't, you didn't notice all the things we're gonna tell you in this show. So if you're watching junk garbage, cable news, you're not getting the truth at all. If you're reading trash like the New York Times and Washington Post, you're not getting the truth. Okay, so what we're gonna tell you here is verifiable facts that show you what's actually happening to our country. So we're gonna talk about how they're gonna push this in the war. We're gonna talk about Epstein and his friends. We're gonna tell you everything that's real and prove it to you. And then we're gonna let the chips wall where they may. And if you wanna get upset and go, oh no, but Jake, why don't you kiss Israel's ass and lie for them and lie like everyone in media lies for them? Well, we're not gonna do it. We're gonna give you the truth. So Anna, go ahead, tell them about how Israel is going to start a war on our behalf with Iran. But more importantly, I actually wanna begin with a story about how our government very intentionally tries to trick the American people. Okay, so here's what I mean. In a laughable attempt to drum up support for the US carrying out a war against Iran on behalf of Israel, senior Trump advisors are allegedly hoping that Israel launches an attack on Iran first, which would then trigger retaliation from Iran against Israel. And then it would drag the United States into war that would somehow be wanted by the American people because they would somehow feel. the need to protect Israel? No, Anna, so that's a great point. And as you guys are going to see in the story, you might be thinking, first of all, are the Israelis even going to do it? I'll address that in a second because I have information that you don't, because I was just involved in a debate, the top Israeli, okay? Second of all, the point isn't guys that, oh, we have to protect beloved Israel. No, we just put our planes in Israel, as Anna's about to tell you.

4:22

They're hoping that our planes and our soldiers get hit. Our guys, our government is hoping that our guys get hit. So then they can go, oh, okay, now we don't have a choice. Wink, wink, now we have to attack Iran. It's the most craven, disgusting thing I've seen. So let's just acknowledge that the Trump administration is fully aware that the vast majority of American people do not want to go to war with Iran on behalf of Israel. We don't feel the need to do this. We shouldn't have to pay for it. We shouldn't risk the lives of American soldiers on behalf of a foreign country. So instead of listening to the American people, the Trump administration would like to manipulate the American people. So the calculus is a political one. The more Americans would stomach, I'm sorry, let me start that again. The calculus is a political one that more Americans would stomach a war with Iran if the United States or an ally were attacked first. But again, under this dumb plan, Iran wouldn't have attacked the United States or Israel first. Israel would attack Iran first. And then that would, of course, spark a retaliation, which is normal. I mean, what would we do if we were attacked on our land? We would respond, right? Now, nonetheless, political. Can I just let me real quick on that? Guys, the reason why they assume that is because they know that at that point, American media will go out and say Israel is the victim and that you're all anti-Semites if you don't now engage in the war to protect. The poor, poor, poor Israelis can be leaving out that they started the war. I don't have a lot of sympathy for people who start a war and then cry to me about it afterwards. And what's amazing is that political even quotes someone who literally admits that a few sentences, a few paragraphs down, quote, there's thinking in and around the administration. that the politics are a lot better if the Israelis go first and alone and the Iranians retaliate against us and give us more reason to take action, said one of the people familiar with discussions. Both individuals were granted anonymity to describe private conversations. Now of course they want to remain anonymous. This is in my opinion also a message, an open message to Israel. Go ahead and strike first. We got your back. Anna, there's a much more disturbing part of that quote. Think about it guys, that's people inside the White House planning for our soldiers to get hit and killed so that they can get their objective of attacking Iran. Starting something new can be terrifying. When we launched our shop, TYT store, I was drowning in what ifs, what if no one buys anything, whatever it doesn't look great. I nearly talked myself out of it. But I took the leap anyway, as we usually do. And I'm glad I did, because Shopify made it incredibly easy to turn those what ifs into real sales. Shopify is the commerce platform powering millions of businesses globally, and it handles 10% of all U.S. e-commerce, which is a stunning number.

7:32

It's behind brands like all birds, Jim, Shark, and yep, our very own ShopT, YT. They give you one all-in-one dashboard for inventory, payments, and analytics. So you're not juggling 10 different logins. Need product descriptions? Shopify's AI tools, crank out copy, and even polish your photos. And if you get stuck, their 24-7 support team has your back, as they did with us. So if you've got an idea for a business or a side hustle, stop what if you. It's time to turn those what ifs into with Shopify today. Sign up for your $1 per month trial at Shopify.com slash t-y-t. Go to shopify.com slash t-y-t. That's Shopify.com slash t-y-t. That's borderline treason. To say, here's a sitting duck. They're telling political. They're actually saying it. We, we, we, the part of this plan is Israel hits Iran. Iran hits us, kills our soldiers, yes! Then we celebrate at the White House, because then we can launch the war that Israel wanted all along, not for Israel to fight it, but for America to fight it. They're literally looking forward to our guys being murdered, and that's inside the White House. The Israeli lobby controls this entire government. Go ahead, Adam. Political rights, and this was published yesterday, it's even more clear that what I'm about to read to you is absolutely going to happen. The thinking among those closest to the president is that, quote, we're going to bomb them, according to the first person familiar with discussions. So today, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, two Zionists who have no interest in peace in the Middle East and want to help Israel, let's be very honest and clear about that, engaged in more negotiations with Iran. came out of the negotiations said, no, no, they won't budge, they won't budge, they won't give up their missiles, which is the only means to defend themselves from Israel, a belligerent country in the region. So we're gonna bomb them. We're gonna go to war with Iran. We the people of the United States of America, our military, the military that consists of the men and women of our country. that is paid for by American taxpayers, all those resources, all those people will be sacrificed on the altar of precious Israel so they can get regime change in Iran. And I wanna be clear about one other thing. There is no plan for what happens to Iran after the current Iranian government is destroyed. Because that doesn't matter to Israel. Israel would be happy to see a failed state, much like we have in Libya. something else that Israel wanted and got and Syria. So like these conversations and debates about like, oh, well, who's going to govern Iran the day after? They don't care. They are happy to see a country of 92 million people completely and utterly destroyed for this tiny little country that is engaged in endless terrorism in the region. And yes, that's Israel. So let me continue.

10:43

So the brain dead morons over at Politico thought that they could insult our intelligence by citing a poll by J.L. Partners claiming that recent polling shows that Americans and Republicans in particular support regime change in Iran, but are unwilling to risk any US casualties to achieve it. And I'm sorry, I got to step in there too, because look at that framing. The conclusion of the poll is the American people do not support this war. if there's gonna be American casualties, and very, very, very likely there's going to be American casualties. But they didn't frame it that way. They framed it as the American people and majority of Republicans agree with the war as long as there's no casualties. You see how the trick is in the framing? And so they constantly are framing to manipulate you to serve Israel's interests. Back to you. So they linked to Breitbart's exclusive coverage of that poll, which was already a red flag. So I looked into it. What is J.L. Partners? Is Jail Partners a biased polling place, or is it legitimate? I'll let you decide. Jail Partners is a UK polling firm founded by James Johnson, former pollster to Theresa May, and Tom Lubbock, former pollster at conservative campaign headquarters. Now, I doubt the right wing media in America really gives a single F about who or what. leads a Middle Eastern country. So this idea that like American conservatives are sitting around, they're like, oh, we would, we desperately want regime change in a foreign country while we struggle with our current economic situation, while housing is unaffordable, health care is unaffordable. No, no, we're really concerned about who the leaders of freaking Iran are. But anyway, so how did the Hucksters over at Breitbart cover this poll? How did they frame it? The studying new data shows that yes, Americans do not like the regime in Iran and would love to see it wiped out. But it also has bright warning lights for the White House, as the president considers his options because the data suggests that Americans broadly and Republicans specifically do not want to risk even a single American life to accomplish that. So let me be clear about something. Regime change will not happen in Iran unless you have boots on the ground. Iran is even more sophisticated and four times as large as Iraq. So this idea that we're gonna just like do some air strikes and the Ayatollah is gonna get killed or is gonna step down and suddenly we're gonna have this wonderful regime change situation in Iran without boots on the ground is laughable. But that's what they want you to believe. So this just gets started. That's what Israel wants. The White House wants to manipulate you into wanting it into thinking that it's gonna be super easy, that there won't be any boots on the ground. But if you buy that,

13:32

You were the most naive person on the planet. The Wall Street Journal notes that the US has deployed combat jets, F-22 raptors to be specific to Israel for the first time ever in preparation to. defend Israel from Iranian retaliation. So we will have boots on the ground, at least in Israel. They're admitting as much already. And why? And they're there, they're there specifically. Our soldiers are gonna be in Israel, are in Israel right now as we speak, in order to defend the Israelis. Do the Israelis pay for our military? Are they the ones who are shelling out a trillion dollars a year for our military? No, they're not. We pay for our military. Why are our soldiers based in Israel? Why do we have F-22 Raptors in Israel in order to protect Israel? Yes. Can you explain it to me? Yeah, well, I can. First, they're there to get killed. If they get killed, Israel's going to throw the biggest party in the world. Be like, now America's forced into our war. Now you serve us, loyally. Now why do I need my troops there to get killed? Why would I put him there? To, oh, well, you have to defend our special ally. Okay, but why do I have to defend our special ally? Because they're about to start a war. No, wait, if they're going to start a war, they should defend themselves. They shouldn't put our guys, Americans, in the front lines to get murdered, to get killed. So that we'll get dragged into a bigger war and we fight it for them, just like we did in Iraq. Same BS excuse of weapons of mass destruction. We're here to help the Iranian people that we're going to be greeted as liberators. It's going to be easy. Don't worry. Regime change will magically happen by itself. I've now debated half a dozen pro-Israel guys in the last couple of days alone. And they all say the same thing. Oh, it's going to be easy. Oh yeah, it'll magically cure itself. But remember, put the Americans up front so they get killed first so we could pretend that this is America's war. The US has sent army troops to Israel to operate the THAAD anti-missile systems. and has previously stationed ballistic missile defense equipped destroyers near Israel to help protect the country from missile and drone attacks. Because that's why we spend all that money on our military. So we can protect a foreign country. A foreign country that doesn't contribute anything to our country or to our military. One other thing, Jenk. Dennis Ross, former senior U.S. official who has worked for both Democrats and Republicans, says operating aircraft from Israeli bases. is a first. So I want to be clear, we will have troops on the ground, in the very least in Israel, to protect Israel. For a war of choice, that's what this is. War with Iran is a war of choice. It's not about protecting ourselves, their missiles can't even reach the United States. Why are we spending a trillion dollars a year on a military that is now being deployed and used by a foreign country?

16:47

So I'm gonna go to that Benjamin Netanyahu clip in a second, Kate, from telling my producers here, because I wanna show you guys how this is a 100% redo of the Iraq war. Same exact talking points, but get a load of the temerity of Israel to say, now we're gonna start a war and we want you guys to get killed first. And you owe us a defense of our country as we aggressively attack another country and kill God knows how many people in that country. And we demand it. We demand that all of our neighbors be defenseless. They're not allowed to have any nuclear weapons, make sense. Nuclear energy that everybody else is allowed to have. They're not allowed to have ballistic missiles. They're not allowed to control their own foreign policy. They're not allowed to do anything that Israel doesn't agree to. That's why we're going to go kill them. to make sure that they comply with our wishes, not their own people's wishes. And that's why you must, you must protect us as we launch this war. But don't worry, it's gonna be super easy. Now we have it, Kate? All right, let's see if they made a similar argument before the Iraq war. If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region. Oh, he guaranteed it. And did it have enormous positive reverberations for the region? No, they're gigantic liars. The Israeli politicians have been lying to us our whole lives. They've been manipulating our government and our media. They've taken $330 billion from us. That's not normal. That's not normal at all. Imagine if we gave $330 billion to Mongolia? People have asked, what the hell did you do that for? But when you ask it of Israel, they're like, how dare you, you anti-Semite? Give me your wallet. Otherwise, I'm going to say that you hate Jews, and I'm going to ruin your career, and you're never going to be allowed to talk again. Ha ha ha ha ha. Don't work for Israel. Ridiculous, man, our media is totally and utterly corrupted. They didn't notice that they took 330 billion? How come they never say that? They didn't notice that 94% of Congress gets money from the Israeli lobby? In fact, if you say that, they say that is correct, that is a correct fact, but you should never be allowed to speak again because we have said, we're going to declare you an anti-Semite. It's thuggery. Okay, now, I can actually protect Israel better than any of them. So I could prove to you now that I care more about the Israeli civilians than they do. Well, how am I going to do that? That's super easy. Don't go to war. No one in Israel will be hurt. You have Iron Dome, you have nukes. I hear nukes are terrible, but you have them and you stole them from us, but we're supposed to ignore that. The media says, if you do not ignore the fact that Iran stole our nuclear secrets, I'm sorry, Israel did it. See, that's funny. We put it into my head. Israel, not Iran. Israel stole our nuclear secrets. They developed nukes and they constantly say, included Jonathan Pollard recently, the traitor, saying, you know, we threatened America with nukes before.

19:53

And then they learned that they better follow our foreign policy. He said it, it's on my, you could go on my ex profile and see it for yourself. And they're constantly lying to us, constantly stealing from us. But if you say things that are factual and you quote them, army, it goes anti-Semite, you should be eliminated. You should not be allowed to speak against Israel. But we're not biased. We're objective. We're reporters. Okay, so is it true or not true that if you don't go to war, everybody in Israel is going to be safe? Absolutely. They're almost the safest country in the world. Okay, but no, they're gonna start a war, and then after they start the war, they can kill hundreds of thousands of Iranians, and our media won't give a damn, right? But the minute two or three Israelis are killed in a counterattack, I guarantee you Jake Tapper in the entire national media. Like, oh, the precious Israelis have been heard. All of you go, you get killed for them, get killed for them, and if you complain, you're an anti-Semite, cancel, cancel, cancel. I'm sick of it. The whole country's sick of it. They are messing with something that is super dangerous here. The rage this country is going to feel when we lose any significant number of troops in this war is not going to be anything like you've ever seen before. And then they're going to cry about it. But I mean, it is the definition of effing around and finding out. So you know what's amazing, Jank? The anonymous senior Trump officials who spoke to Politico. even acknowledge some of the risks that the United States is taking by engaging in this war. I mean, they obviously want it, which is why they're manipulating Americans into supporting it, which I don't even think is going to work. But one risk, they admit, is depleting our munitions stockpiles, which would give China an opening to invade Taiwan, which would be really bad for the United States since we still heavily rely on Taiwan for our semiconductor chips. The other thing, and I'm gonna read the exact quote from the political piece to you is this. If we're talking about a regime change scale attack, Iran is very likely to retaliate with everything they've got. We have a lot of assets in the region and every one of those is a potential target. That includes humans, by the way, American soldiers. Said the first person familiar with discussions and they're not under the Iron Dome, so there's a high likelihood of American casualties. And that comes with a lot of political risk. Nonetheless, we want to trick Americans into supporting a war with Iran on behalf of Israel. That's our government, ladies and gentlemen. That's what we're dealing with here. So why don't we take a break when we come back. We've got a lot more to get to. So stick around. First comes strength, then comes peace.

23:03

All right, let's go to our members on tyt.com. Jam says, I love the TYT show, but how do we get the message about the Israeli and the Israeli government driving us in a war other than TYT? Well, you know, that's a great question, Jam. So first of all, there are some pro-America shows on the left and the right and independents that are actually for. American citizens, and we have a lot of disagreements about how to best serve American citizens, but we have a core agreement that we should serve American citizens and not a different country, okay? So you should watch shows that are honest with you and not giant BSers who are telling you that Israel's our friend and our, if anyone tells you Israel's our ally. They're lying to you. And then if you question whether we should go to war with Iran and they say things like you're an anti-Semite or whatever, know that they are the enemy, okay? So that covers a lot of right wing shows. Not a lot of left wing shows, but there are some left wing shows that are weirdly, completely, and utterly silent about the war. They're like, oh, ice, it's terrible. Trump is terrible in every way. Trump is terrible. Republicans are terrible. You should hate the Republicans. How about Israel?

24:17

Don't get me wrong, this is not like the old stuff. This is not like, oh, far left or whatever. No, no, no, far left is pretty good on this. Yeah, far left is great on this issue, actually. So God bless, okay. So you see, look guys, we're being honest. This isn't like personal, like, oh, okay, I'm gonna hate these guys forever. It's a personal beef. No, these are more than mainstream Democratic shows. Just absolutely dead silent on Israel. Well, the majority of the Democratic Party in Congress wants this war. And this is, look, when it comes to the power brokers, when it comes to people who actually get to make the decisions here. There's very little daylight, if any, between Republicans and Democrats in Congress. Later in the show, we're gonna give you details about Democrats in Congress who are all about going to war with Iran. And that's what we refer to when we talk about the unit party. It doesn't mean that both parties are exactly the same. There are a lot of differences when it comes to culture wars. But when it comes to foreign policy, you will see a lot of agreement. Yeah. Well, I'll save my rage for the Democrats in a little bit. Funkin for fun says the dams are fighting hard to cash their APAC checks. It's literal, you'll see that story a little bit later. Michael Napin says, Jane went to the Turkish barber today, yesterday, but correct, nice job. Old dirty pastor says, wait, is this how they solve the wave of unemployment that AI will be unleashing, send endless amounts of young men to go die on behalf of Israel? Every American that dies in the war with Iran died for Israel. Period. America has no interest in that war at all, and eight out of ten Americans don't want to go. The only people who want to go are the deeply corrupt who work for Israel. So make sure you blame them if any Americans die. Because otherwise they're going to do it again and again and again. They're doing an exact retrain of the Iraq war, and they'll do it again for Turkey or for whoever's next. Because Israel is... Their appetite for war is endless. Sorry, Anna, you were gonna say something. Paramount wins bidding war for Warner Discovery after Netflix drops out just in time. Oh, there you go. So now there goes CNN to Larry and David Ellison, Israel first crowd. It doesn't matter, what difference does it make? I'm glad they're buying it, Anna. So now you're more clear. CNN and CBS already worked for Israel. Now it's just more obvious than blatant. Okay, so that's it. Total trash, dumpster fires. They're lying to you on purpose. They don't do the news at all.

27:04

All right, back on TYT, Jenk, Anna, and Steve Curtis, and Lifetime of Matty are now with us. Guys, everybody who's a Young Turks member allows us do this show. If you see us. Like whether it's raging or just being factual, just fighting for you guys, you did that. So thank you. Because we don't have any of these big giant backers. They're totally, oh no, you guys are criticizing Israel. Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, right? So all we have is you guys. Thank you for joining.T.com slash join. And then Melody loves music, not an AI, and CDN Norse Dogdad, all gifted memberships. You guys are wonderful. And look, I'm not joking, guys, we're trying to save you money, which works so hard to find the right sponsors for you guys. So Noble mobile, in my opinion, is kind of perfect because it doesn't change anything about your phone. And it's basically a T-Mobile service. That's all it is, really. So nothing on my phone has changed at all, except my bill has gone so much further down. We were so much higher. The max you could pay at Noble mobile is 50, but really you pay in the 30s because they give you money. back for if you don't use your data and you save $40 on the first month. So please save yourself money. I guarantee you when you switch later, you're gonna say, why didn't I do it months ago? TYt.com slash switch, TYT.com slash switch. All right, Anna, what's next? All right, let's talk about the cheerleaders for death, destruction, and war with Iran. My preference is to solve this problem through diplomacy. But one thing is certain, I will never allow the world's number one sponsor of terror, which they are by far, to have a nuclear weapon. Can't let that happen. Is the United States going to seek an off-ramp by basically cutting an even weaker version of Barack Obama's JCPOA deal? I don't think it's clear from what the president is saying right there, which direction he's going to go. Now look, what is absolutely clear is which direction Ben Shapiro would like President Donald Trump to go in. And he's about to not so subtly tell us that the United States should, of course, attack Iran so that Israel doesn't have to. But before we get there, a janker two cents. Yeah, so guys, as Anna shows you the clips from Israel first. Just substitute the word Iran for Iraq, and you'll see the movie that's being replayed to you. Anna. It is pretty incredible. And I want to note, I mean. There's beautiful bipartisanship here, okay? So let's start with the right. In his reaction video to Donald Trump's State of the Union address, Ben Shapiro seemed incredibly worried that Trump would actually make a deal with Iranians and, you know, avoid war. And one of his main concerns seems to be that if the United States does not strike Iran, Israel might have to fight their own war for once.

29:57

Again, he says that his preference is negotiated endpoint here. The question really, in the end, is going to be whether the president of the United States is too concerned about the possibility of a multi-week air campaign against the Iranians to actually do it. And the Iranians just bluff him. That's really all this is about. No one, again, no one is talking about a massive ground invasion of Tehran. No one is talking about a long-term occupation of Tehran. Nobody is talking. about hundreds of thousands of American boot on the ground in theater. Nobody's talking about that. The question here for the president is, what is the risk reward here for a multi-week air campaign to defenestrate the IRGC and the Ayatollas and the Mullahs in Iran? And then whatever happens, happens. Because I will tell you that everyone else is watching. If the United States backs off of this and cuts some sort of unbelievably weak deal, the consequences will not just be for the Middle East, where Israel will be forced to ramp up its military even more and probably go and attack Iran itself, given Iran's capacity and increasing capacity in both nuclear and ballistic missile development and its renewed attempts to support terrorism. I would like to read a quote that was given by a senior Trump administration official to Politico in a piece where senior Trump administration officials, including this individual, want to manipulate Americans into supporting a war with Iran. So that's the thought of the individual that I'm about to read the quote from. This is what he says. If we're talking about a regime change scale attack, which is what this is really about, Iran is very likely to retaliate with everything they've got. We, meaning the Americans, have a lot of assets in the region, including American soldiers. And every one of those is a potential target. And they're not under the Iron Dome, meaning they can't be protected. So there's a high likelihood of American casualties. Anyway, let me continue. Ben Shapiro went on to argue that if Donald Trump backs off threats, his threats against Iran, Russia will renew their offensive in Ukraine. The world will explode. China will blockade Taiwan because they'll no longer fear the big red button that President Trump holds. In reality, we are currently experiencing a shortage of missile interceptors. We've depleted 25% of our missile interceptors by giving them away to Ukraine and especially Israel. And so as a result of that, we are going to be bogged down with this war with Iran, meaning that China will see an opening. to, you know, go after Taiwan. And that's gonna be at the detriment of the United States as we still rely on them for our, you know, semiconductor chips. But anyway, Cenk, I don't know, maybe I'm a moron and Ben Shapiro knows better than me. What do you think? Yeah, no, no, I know he does because I remember his daddy, Kate, let's pull up that clip again, telling us how great it was gonna go in Iraq. Right. And he was absolutely sure. So let's watch. If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region.

33:14

Did it? And now they tell us the same exact thing. Oh, no, no boots on the ground. This will be easy. Now remember, make sure you put American troops in defenseless bases and put all of your defenses in Israel, number one, so that the most precious people on earth are protected as they start a war. But you are not protected, because we want you to die so that you get dragged into this war for us. And by the way, not only should you put your planes and your ground troops, which are already there, put them in Israel so that if anyone gets hurt, it's the Americans, and then we can say, aha, you see that. Now America has an interest in this war, and that's why we're doing it. If you believe this war is going to be easy, like Ben Shapiro is telling you, and like he told you, he said the same exact thing. for the Iraq war. Someone pulled up an editorial from back then saying, where Ben Shapiro was saying, oh, Iraq's gonna be a piece of cake. You're an idiot if you believe that. You really, you're super low IQ. But honestly, I don't think any of you, any of, People like that exist anymore. I don't know that anybody watches Ben Shapiro's show anymore. Yeah, there's like the Israel first crowd and the super dumb nor like establishment guys. We're like, oh yeah, the government's always telling the truth. Israel's our ally. We have to do everything for them. But outside of like that tiny group, the whole rest of the country knows already. So we're just. Like Anna, we're at this point where we're not arguing with anyone. We're just trying to figure out how to get our freedom back and our government back from people like Ben Shapiro who are definitely going to drive us into this war. Yeah, absolutely. In a separate video last week, Ben Shapiro tried to brush off concerns about what would happen. if the US attacked Iran, denying that Americans would be put at risk, even though as we speak, American soldiers have been sent to Israel to operate the THAAD missiles to protect Israelis. You know, the military that we pay for, the military we pay a trillion dollars a year for, that Trump is now lobbying for us to spend $1.5 trillion a year on. But with that in mind, here's what Ben Shapiro lied to you about. The suggestion that tens of thousands of Americans will die or thousands of Americans will die in Iranian counter strikes is false. It is not true. Iran does not have that sort of overwhelming capacity. The United States is already hardening its own defenses against the possibility of counter strike. Presumably any strike delivered by the United States would be in the first run delivered directly at the ballistic missile program to take out as many bases as humanly possible. Iranian air defenses remain non-existent at this point. You could essentially fly a biplane over Iran and drop TNT from your hands onto IRGC bases at this point. Let me just repeat this again. I want to say it more clearly. I didn't say it exactly correct in the lead up to that video. The U.S. has sent army troops to Israel to operate the THAD anti-missile system.

36:16

Yeah, I'm sure they're gonna be totally safe, right? Okay. I'm gonna make an outrageous prediction and I'm not hoping that this comes true. I think that people will watch clips like that from Ben Shapiro after we lose a lot of men and they will be so angry that Ben will probably move to Israel. Okay, I'm not joking, but there's gonna be a situation on our hands here. They're messing around with a danger they don't seem to understand. They're pushing everybody and pushing and pushing and pushing and they say, ah, it's gonna be easy. Don't worry, die for us, die for us, die for us. Yeah, but when we do die for you, you don't think there's gonna be blowback? You don't think that people are gonna be enraged, people are already enraged. I mean, look, what Tucker Carlson said to Mike Huckabee is indisputable. Eight out of ten Americans don't want this war. Does our opinion matter or does it not? And our government is saying to us, we're going to spit in your face. You don't matter at all. Only our donors matter. Now, it's one thing when they do it with oil companies and big pharma, et cetera. But this time we could see the death with our own eyes, right? We saw this movie in Iraq. Iran is four times the size of Iraq. Okay, so I hope none of that happens. I hope we don't go to war, and if we do go to war, I, you know what, as disgusting as it is to start a war like this and kill Iranians and they're gonna kill so many civilians, et cetera. But I hope that Iran has no capability and we don't get blowback and no Americanist hurt. I hope that was all my heart. My guess is based on covering the news for a long, long time, that is not what's going to happen. And then people are going to be enraged. And then Ben Shapiro's of the world are going to pretend that they're the victim. I mean, reporting already indicates that China has made weapons deals with Iran. Like, what are we doing? Why are we doing this? This is so stupid. is in a bit of a minority when it comes to independent content creators that are egging on war with Iran. But on the hill, he unfortunately has plenty of allies, including none other than war monger John Fetterman, a Democrat, who seriously struggled to explain how bombing Iran would help his own constituents. Take a look at this. How do you plan to vote on Senator Paul and Senator Kane's war powers resolution to? Is that coming up? Yeah, they just I didn't know that for sure. Well, then that's a down. Down. Oh, yeah. Why not? I mean, I voted no on it earlier and I supported. striking the nuclear facilities. And I think it probably will become like appropriate to do that. If anyone in the Senate doesn't want to acquire a nuclear bomb for Iran, then we have to make that and put that on the table. And I'm going to vote for that. How exactly what strikes on Iran benefit the American people like on the ground in Pennsylvania, for example? It absolutely does. It makes the Middle East safer. But in Pennsylvania. Yeah, absolutely.

39:22

How so? But like how does it benefit them? Like does it put more money? I'm voting at no. So and I think we're good. No, we're not good. I mean, they're laughing in our faces. Okay, this government does not work for us, obviously. John Fetterman has gone so far as to suggest that Donald Trump shouldn't even try to engage in diplomatic talks with Iran. On February 6th, he posted this on X. It's a headline from the Wall Street Journal, US and Iran gather for high stakes nuclear talks. And he commented on that, saying, I truly don't see the value in this. The world knows Iran will never honor any treaty. Israel has carried out over a thousand air strikes against Lebanon after signing a ceasefire deal in 2024. They're bombing Lebanon right now as we speak. What are you talking about? The rest of it is the last treaty with Iran led to 900 pounds near weapon grade enriched uranium.

40:36

Did we or did we not obliterate Iran's nuclear sites? What did we do last summer? And more importantly, for all the journalists out there, how much money did we spend on that? How much money did we spend last summer bombing Iran's nuclear sites that are allegedly obliterated? But now we're going to war with Iran because we're worried about their non-existent nuclear weapons? Come on. Yeah, so again, I've been in a number of debates over the last week on this issue. And every Israel first person, oftentimes literally from Israel, they bring them on IDF soldiers and communications guys, et cetera, say, well, they could at a later time develop nuclear weapons and then it'll be too late. It'll be too, but you've been saying that for the last 20 years, man. And on top of that, we already destroyed their nuclear facilities. That's true, but ballistic missiles, but they can't come anywhere near reaching us. But the ballistic missiles one day at a later time could be so much more advanced and they could have the nukes and they could put the nukes on the ballistic missiles. So that's why we have to attack them now. I'm like, okay, yeah, sure. Sweden could do the same thing. Yeah. So could Bolivia. They caught, they're caught, caught, at a later time. What is this? This is garbage, right? And look at John Fetterman. Now, guys. I'd rather not. Yeah, so it's not perfectly equivalent because at least he's talking about, for example, Tim Kaine. who's along with Rand Paul, both of them should get a lot of credit. And I can't believe Tim Kaine's a good guy on this issue. I know, same. I can't believe either. But hey, credit where credit is. I love it. Buy gods be by guys. As long as you vote the right way, do the right things. So he's introducing a resolution to say, no, you got to ask Congress before you go to war. There's good guys like Senator Chris Van Holl and et cetera. But there are also a lot of super bad guys like John Fetterman that are in the Democratic Party. So like for John Fetterman, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz, and a couple of others. It feels like it's not just money. So I don't know what it is, but this is like weird, right? So, but my favorite part of that interaction was when he gets to, yes, but how does this help people in Pennsylvania? That's where John Fetterman goes full sling blade. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yeah, bro, you didn't even think to have an answer for that? Because he doesn't care about the people of Pennsylvania at all or Americans. All that's going through John Fetterman's head is, how do I help Israel so they don't release the tapes? How do I help Israel so I get millions of more dollars? How do I help Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, I love Israel, I hate America, I love Israel. Okay, and by the way, as we're going to show you later in the show, Hakeem Jeffries, secretly funneling A-PAC money to other Democrats. Because, and remember when Benjamin Netanyahu came? Thundrous standing ovations. from both parties. He did that, he gave a speech to Congress in 2015 and a couple other times. And all the Democrats stood up like bitches and we're like, oh, our dear leader is here. What more can we do for you, Israel? And they all cash checks. They all get bribed by the Israeli lobby, but mainstream media never tells you because they don't cover the news, they cover up the news. 94% of Congress.

43:56

All right, so we've got Republicans like Tommy Tuberville and all of these other pathetic losers supporting war with Iran. But I actually want to skip ahead to the polling, because I think that matters more than what our bribed and blackmailed politicians have to say about this. So let's take a look at this poll. This is the latest UGov poll that found that about half, 49% of Americans somewhat or strongly oppose U.S. using military force to attack Iran. Only 27% support such an attack. 24% are not sure. 58% of Republicans support an attack while 76% of Democrats and 54% of... independence oppose. Now, while half of Americans don't want military action against Iran, there's broad bipartisan agreement that it will happen anyway because we live under a government that doesn't respect our opinion, doesn't care what we want. So 58% of Americans think that the US is at least somewhat likely to take military action against Iran in the next month. Now, let me just pause and- talk about the framing or the wording of the question. Because military action could be something like a strike. And some Americans might be misled into thinking, this is just going to be quick air strikes. Like we did last summer, not a big deal. So some people might be supportive of that. but not so supportive of a lengthy military campaign against Iran. So I would like to see the question rephrased to be a little more specific so we can get a better sense of how Americans feel about this. But nonetheless, just wanted to give you some of the issues with the methodology here. 58% of Americans think the US is at least somewhat likely to take military action against Iran in the next month. Only 11% say US military action against Iran is not very likely or not likely at all. Yeah, I want to draw attention to two of the numbers that animation there. First of all, 15% of independence support this war. That's a disaster for the people starting this war. Now, by the way, you would think like, okay, the Republicans are obviously at fault here. They're in charge. They're in charge of the House, the Senate, the White House. Trump is making the decision, clearly Republicans. And since it is so deeply unpopular, especially with independence, this is a layup for the Democrats. You just run on this, you'll just win Congress super easily. Except all I hear is the sound of silence. Where are all the Democratic leaders all over television? doing op-eds, online podcasts, all over media going, no, don't go to war with that. We want to be clear. The Democratic Party is against war with Iran. It's going to be a disaster. That would be very politically advantageous, even if they didn't mean it. Even if they were just being callous about it. But yet, where are they? I don't see any of them on TV. Other than Ro Khanna, I don't see anyone in online media.

46:53

I don't see anyone doing anything. Where the hell is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? Oh, she did a tweet the other day. Oh, wow. Oh, did you? Wow. Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer's in favor of it. Jeffrey's is secretly in favor of it. So where the reason why they're not showing up. It's hopeless. It's because they're totally corrupt. It's hopeless. They're 100% corrupts. The total waste. Nothing makes sense. None of this, nothing makes sense. Like we live in a topsy-turvy world where the people who call out the genocide or consider the bad people. We're supposed to love genocide as long as Israel carries it out. We're supposed to pretend like the country that has a clandestine nuclear program. is the good country. Whereas the country that doesn't even have a nuclear program and had its nuclear sites completely obliterated by our military last summer, that's the one we should be worried about. I just, nothing makes sense, nothing makes sense. No, that's the power of propaganda guys. There's a giant illusion that American media has built. They say the real nuclear threat is Iran, but Iran has no nukes and their nuclear facilities are destroyed. Meanwhile, Israel has a hundred nukes. How often do you hear about that? And do you know a more paranoid country than Israel? A more, a country that has its finger on, happy trigger finger more than Israel. And so, and on top of that, they say, oh, Iran is a threat to the region. Meanwhile, Israel keeps expanding and expanding its territory. And our press never talks about, oh, look at that. Their torture got so much larger. Did Iran's territory get allergic? Not at all. You see, if they invert the truth completely, right? And I can go on and on. All the things that they claim are problems with Iran are actually problems with Israel. Well, you know, they are a threat to the region. Israel attacks seven of its neighbors, not Iran. The truth is totally inverted. And then the last number I want to draw your attention to is 19% of Republicans already not, not sure, but somewhat or strongly opposes war. You might think, well, that's a small number, only two out of ten Republicans. Well, two things about that. Number one, in the old days, that number would have been zero. So already Trump's lost two out of ten Republicans, and we haven't lost a single person yet, right? And I now, I see this all over social media. The Republicans that are still not sure are on the fence on this war are saying, no, no, no, it's going to be just like the first around strike or the Venezuela strike. We're not going to lose anyone. It's just going to be we win, win, win, and you guys are over-hyping it. And Trump's ingenious, and he's going to figure out how to do regime change with no ground troops, no nothing, it's going to be a clean war. And the minute it's not a clean war, and we get stuck in a quagmire.

49:45

they're gonna go, oh, Jesus, man, we just got played again, okay? Because I also see that. And so let's see if I'm right or wrong, but my guess is by the end of this whole thing, the entire country is going to be united in fury against all of our political leaders. All right, we'll be right back. I am scary, I am threatening. I'm Darth Vader. All right guys, I'm gonna give a speech in Chicago this weekend. So on Sunday night, it's for Islamic relief. They're a great organization. What they're doing is they raise money to help kids that are you know, suffering from the results of war in Syria, Yemen, and Gaza. And they're like the individuals that go there are so generous and they give so much to help those poor kids and they got a lot of work ahead of them because. Israel keeps leaving orphans behind in the Muslim countries. But it's not just about Israel at all. There's Sudan as well. And so anyways, I'm going to give a speech there. So if you're in Chicago and you want to come, you can look up Islamic relief. There it is, irursa.org. The Grand FTA refers to breaking of the fast during Ramadan, and it happens to be Ramadan. So this schedules a little bit earlier because they want to get to dinner to break the fast. All right, check that out if you're anywhere near Chicago. All right, let me go to Super Chat here. With it, Galsall says, Jenkins, Anna, I love your passion and I share it. The question I have is how to get uninformed people in my circle to understand the peril we're in. It's so frustrating seeing eyes roll over when it is brought up. Look, you know. I love that you're doing the best you can. Try to get them to watch the live show, send him a video, send him a drop site news article that shows some of the things that we're talking about. But at the end of the day, don't worry about it too much. Because even if they don't believe it now, trust me, I've been through this movie a hundred times, okay? Within six months, they'll be coming back to you and going, how did you know? How did you know what? You were right. How did you know? Everyone knows, everyone knows, let's just stop pretending. Let's stop pretending. I just wish Ben Shapiro and all the people who are cheering on this war would just, you know, you know that American soldiers are gonna die. Is he gonna pretend like he's a fiscal conservative moving forward? You're gonna pretend like you're a fiscal conservative knowing that we went into debt to fight wars on behalf of Israel? No. And we're about to spend, how much money are we spending already? Just accumulating all those military assets in that region. Yeah. So, but this person is talking about normies and the normies really don't know. And I think you're totally right about that. And so. The normies don't want.

53:17

this war. The Normies don't want this war. But they don't understand, like when you tell them Israel's driving towards this war, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Jake Tapper told me that's conspiratorial. Yeah, well, Jake Tapper can eat a. Richard. Rose Toner 13 says this is not a dream my ancestors died for. Great point. America 1776 USA says, your love for America really comes through and it's refreshing to hear honest, heartfelt content. Thank you for everything you do. Thank you, brother. Thank you for being a member and for using super chat. Cornelius Point Dexter said, are the Democrats going to do anything to stop the war? Or are they just going to wear pins and badges on their shirts like they do with the Epstein files? Well, Cornelius, you know the answer to that. They're not going to do anything because they're corrupt and they're actually. secretly work with the Republicans to start wars for Israel. Melania Martinez says, love you both. Thank you. Brad David says, Jake, I'm so angry at Mark Levin for what he did to you, posting the airport. I'll talk about that later. All right, we'll be back. That's kind of nasty.

54:33

All right guys, back on TYID, Jen Canana with you guys. I'm just gonna say one quick thing about a super chat I was reading. Somebody was showing sympathy for me for Mark Levin, reposted the airport video, which I don't mind at all, okay? So don't worry about it, guys, I appreciate you though. So what's happening lately now is Israel First is in full attack mode. So they're going through, here we go again, our 20 year archive of videos. And so there's now like dozens of Young Turks videos all over the internet. Did you see this? This is when Jenk and Anna were against the Iranian regime. Yeah, yeah. We're against them today. Yeah, it doesn't mean I want to go in and bomb the hell out of the country. Yeah. Yeah. Amazing that you can hold two thoughts at the same time, you know. There's all sorts of countries that are led by terrible leaders and I don't want to bomb them. So the reason I brought it up real quick, last thing is. Guys, I don't sweat it, right? Like they already try to cancel this 20 times over. So they've done this a hundred times to us. And you can tell how organized it is because it's not one clip that a rando found. This like dozens of clips all edited, it's organizational, right? And these clowns think, oh, we will now get them with this old controversy they were involved in 12 years ago. Have that it hoss. I'm never gonna shut up. That's right. Okay, just you can toil away online and try to destroy me. I will never shut up ever. So let's go to the next story.

56:06

It's never occurred to you. The Iraq war was a mistake? Really? On what basis was it a success? Hmm. So if that's really your view, maybe we shouldn't trust you when you tell us that we have a moral obligation to attack Iran. Just throwing that out there. But let's be honest, it's not really the print media who are driving this because this is a Republican administration. And as everyone knows, Republicans have one main news source. And that's Fox News. Tucker Carlson sounded a lot more like Jank Yugar on the latest episode of his podcast because he went after cable news. In fact, he went after his former employer, Fox News, specifically for beating the war drums and convincing Americans that maybe it's a good idea to go to war with Iran on behalf of a foreign country, Israel. Jake, how much do you love this? Look guys, the fact that a significant portion of the right and independence and libertarians have come to our position, but again, to be fair to the libertarians, they were always there, and the right wing in this election cycle at least said that they were anti-war. We've been anti-war the entire time, right? And we've been against Fox News the entire time. We've been warning you about Israel's influence in this country the entire time. As I see other... parts of the political spectrum coming to that same conclusion. It's amazing. It's a unity I've never seen before. I love it. Watch what Tucker Carlson says, not just about war in Israel, but about Fox News and how they spread a poison in this country to make sure that you all serve a different country. Basically, he talks about how there's consent manufactured over at Fox News for wars that we shouldn't be involved in. So here's Tucker Carlson's general criticism of Fox News and the power the cable news channel has over the Republican Party in particular. I have some familiarity with the product and I can say that. Even as Fox News's reach and power and influence have diminished greatly, mostly due to technological changes, people go on the internet, they don't pay for cable. But as it has diminished, it has not broken the stranglehold that Fox has over Republicans in Washington. They watch Fox. They want to go on Fox. And so Fox has really driven this war. And if it occurs, you can thank Fox more than any other media organization, more than any other lobbyist, more honestly than any government, more than the government of Israel. Fox News has pushed for this war. Its owners personally have pushed for it personally. And of course, its employees on the channel have pushed for it with such aggression and unanimity that as of tonight, there's not a single on-air Fox personality who is going to question going to war with Iran. I mean, he's right. And honestly, if you rewind and you look back at the type of coverage Fox News was doing in the lead up to the preemptive war in Iraq.

59:16

Same thing, the same types of arguments being made, the same fear mongering about how there are weapons of mass destruction, how we need to be terrified, how people were misled into thinking Iraq had anything to do with 9-11, which it didn't obviously. So he's absolutely right and it's empirical and you can watch it and it's documented, right? But before we get to. comfortable with ourselves, especially if we're on the left, right, as I am. Has there been a rage from the MS now anchors on cable news about this war? Because maybe I missed it, but did Rachel Maddo go on this screed against this war? We can't have this war. I mean, that's a layup for MSNBC, right? I mean, Trump's in charge. Don't they hate everything about Trump? But yet this is the one story where they can't find their rage. And CNN, is there a single CNN anchor that has warned that this might not be a good idea? Isn't it weird that Fox and MS Now and CNN that are all supposed to disagree when it comes to the issue of Israel and starting wars for them, all of a sudden they can't find a way to disagree? So there's one person who Tucker Carlson focuses on as even more nefarious than the rest over at cable news. And he's about to address who that person is next. This is Mark Levin telling his listeners, such as they are, that Iran has nuclear-tipped ICBMs aimed at the United States. Watch this. They'd slaughter a million of their own people, foment, retaining power. That's not a government of a country. Those are terrorists that control a country. It is a police state that's slaughtering its own people to stay in power so it can slaughter us. It believes, as the 7th century primitive barbarians believed, that they must destroy civilization. They believe today that they must destroy the West. Most prominently, the United States of America, those nuclear ICBMs aren't aimed for Tel Aviv, for Jerusalem. They're aimed for New York and Los Angeles and Chicago, everywhere in between and around, the United States of America. The enemies of civilization. If you wake up in a world where Mark Levin is publicly identified with, quote, civilization, you are an upside-down world. He is lying to people on purpose to scare them into supporting a war that is going to get innocent people and our soldiers killed. I just don't understand how people are supporting this. So no, okay, Iran at the moment does not have any capability of striking the United States. Their ballistic missiles cannot reach the United States. They do not have nuclear-tip missiles pointed at Los Angeles, okay? But he's gonna lie.

1:02:35

And is there going to be any type of reprimand, any talking to any firing of Mark Levin for lying to the American people, scaring them about Iran's non-existent military and weapons capabilities? And that's why he said it, Anna, because that's such a brazen lie, right? That's not even close. And it's like a North Korean lie, right? that the leader has no sphincter. It was literally a lie they made up. And Mark Levin is gonna say that soon about Benjamin Netanyahu. So why does he get to say a brazen lie like that? Because he knows there is no accountability. There's no chance he'll be fired because he's for war and he's for Israel. So he has perfect job security. But if you said something that was true about Israel, but that was slightly critical, they would all call for you to get fired. In fact, they do that all the time. In fact, they did that today. So he knows, oh, I could lie all day long on Fox News. In fact, the whole point of Fox News is to lie to you. But guys, what's spectacular and fascinating about this story is that Tucker Carlson was the number one anchor on Fox News. He is now turned around and said, yes, they're lying to you. And they're purposely driving you into war. I was there, I know he says. By the way, I was an anchor on MSNBC. And I could tell you, they're lying to you. So everyone who leaves, he interviewed Clinton Morris, who was also on Fox News, also says the same thing. I run into former MSNBC hosts all the time and they swear to God, and it's, I don't want to put words in our mouth, but you would be shocked at who it is saying, you were right, Jenk, about MSNBC, okay? So here we are. So now we know our media is totally working for someone else and not for us. Our government is working for someone else and not us. Head on collision. They, those idiots think that, oh, we'll just subjugate the American people again and we'll do propaganda like we always have. And they'll never find out. There's a thing called the internet. We already know you schmucks. Everyone under 55 already knows. There's some boomers online that are still watching MS now and Fox, right? But other than them, which is a small group now, the rest was of why, by the way, I'll tell you something you could definitely do. Vote out all the incumbents. Okay, vote them all out unless it's their name Roe Connor or Thomas Massie or you know with absolute certainty, not taking eight-back money and they're working for you. Unless you know that, just blind, vote them out. Vote them out, vote them out. Get me a rando off the street will be a thousand times better than a guy that I know is already corrupt. Both Democrats and Republicans do in your own primaries. You don't have to cross parties. Vote all the bums out. We'll put a link in the description box.

1:05:25

But also, I mean, look, if you have the ability to vote for a congressional race, you happen to be a Democrat or you happen to be a Republican, but you have an opportunity to vote in an election where you get to choose between a pro-Zionist or anti-Zionist, I would vote in that election for the anti-Zionist. Of course. I mean, where's the question? Why would I vote for someone who raised their hands as I will loyally serve another country? I mean, Zionism is nationalism for Israel. If someone said, I am a Turkish nationalist, that's why you should vote for me. People are like, well, I don't know, why don't you go back to Turkey and be a nationalist over there? That would be super weird, right? But all of our politicians say it proudly, I am a nationalist for Israel, not for America. All right, great, thanks for letting me know. I'll never vote for you again. Never, okay? Guys, I'm now slightly weirdly hopeful. And Anna, don't get- No, I'm not hopeful at all. I'm done. No, no, no, let me explain. Let me explain. What are we hopeful about? No, let me explain. Okay, go ahead. First, there'll be great darkness, right? Don't get me wrong. The reason I'm ironically, and the emphasis on ironic, hopeful, is because- Now, before I wasn't 100% sure that we're gonna go to war with Iran. I thought Trump's a wild card. There's like 10% chance that he might pull out at the last second. But I kind of know for a fact now that we're gonna go to war, right? There was one last ditch effort to try to get Trump not to go to war, it failed. And so now that we're going to war, I guarantee you failure is baked in. And I also guarantee you that there will be a rage in America. So before wiping out 20% of Congress was impossible, right? Now all of a sudden it's possible. Guys, you wipe out 20% of Congress, you get your government back, because they'll all start pooping in their depends, okay? And they'll be like, oh my God, people are woken, no, no. As long as the donor money is in charge, we're all screwed. But you vote out 20% of these bums, they're gonna crap themselves, okay? And then you have a shot of getting control back from them. Because they're all actors, they're all phonies, right? But they'll pretend to be on your side. And so we gotta get our government back. That's really the only way to do it. If you try to do it in some silly partisan way, Like, oh my God, everybody vote this way or that way and that party will win. What difference does it make? Biden was in charge and he said he would say nonstop. I'm a Zionist. Oh, hey, look at that. He got $11 million in the Israeli lobby, top donor throughout his career. Trump's top donor throughout his career, Israel. Stop vote like. It's nonsense, going to primaries, voting average Americans, voting anybody but these corrupt incumbents. Mainstream media tells you that their incumbents have experienced that's so valuable because they know the incumbents are corrupt. Incumbents are the worst people in America. Vote all the bombs out. All right, we'll be back with a story that's a little different. We'll talk a little bit about what pro-Trump activists are plotting for the midterms.

1:08:36

We didn't blow up diplomacy. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. Hey, Andrew, what's up? Hey, Jake, you ready to make the switch? Yeah, I guess. I promise it's easy. Universal, basic, and you get income. Yeah, you keep saying that. But you sure I'm going to have coverage? Of course you will. You think I would have bad service? I'm Andrew Yang. Of course I have good service. Alright, let's try. But I'm so bad at tech. So, wait. Should I do this thing of the hashtag business? Andrew, you're still on, right? Yep. Oh, I see it. Oh, yeah, I do see it. Here we go. I actually did not realize that you'd be searching in real time, but I love it. How much do people actually normally say? Yeah, the average American is going to save between $500 and $1,000 a year on Noble. Yeah, no. You know what I'm going to do, Andrew? Are you ready to become a noble member? The two buttons are do it and go back. There's no going back. We're doing it. We're doing it. Here we go, Noble Mobile. Oh my gosh, I just called you and are you now on Noble and not Verizon? Why didn't you tell me it was going to be super easy? I know, man. Now you just stay away from your phone and watch the money roll in. I can do that. Yeah, yeah. What the fuck? Jank, you still there? Andrew? Oh, well, at least I got Noble Mo. It was really just one take. The whole thing is wild. It's in my shoes. It's in my shoes. Hi, I'm Brett Ehrlich with Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. This is Breaking News with Brett Ehrlich. Hi. Brett Ehrlich here. According to EPA head Scott Pruitt, climate change is not happening. He cited a meme on Facebook you saw. When pressed to back up this source, he said it must be accurate because the watermark said it was made by a scientist. So, your move, truth.

At TYT, our mission is to boldly pursue truth, challenge the establishment, and drive positive change. At a time when corporate capture of our media, our government, and our politics is nearly absolute. Everyday working people need a champion of fight for them and a pushback against the powerful interests that threaten our democracy itself. At TYT, we're proudly progressive and call out corruption and duplicity wherever we see it from Republicans, Democrats, or anyone else. And unlike mainstream news media outlets, we're not beholden to corporate advertisers to defense contractors, to Wall Street, or to Big Pharma. We only have to answer to our audience, and for nearly two decades. We've accomplished that by delivering honest, timely, and insightful perspectives on the day's news without fear or favor or concern. whose toes we might step on or which powerful elites we might offend. And while we're super serious about the news, we also manage to do it in a way that is fun and lighthearted. We can do this together and serve our audience. And yes, have fun doing it.

1:11:59

Revolution, you are much needed. TYT, TYT! The place is like 95% TYT on. the people who support us on the internet. That's what gives us strength. That's what allows anyone who was in there who was undecided to think. One side seems to be winning. They seem to have a bigger army. It might be a reason for that. So thank you guys. This is such a, you know, I think that this is a, like, extremely political. Back on TYT, Jay Canana with you guys. More news. All right, let's talk a little bit about the fact that the Trump administration is realizing that they're losing quite a bit of support and that's hurting the Republican Party. So in an effort to save the Republicans in the midterms, pro-Trump activists are finding ways or attempting to find ways to rig the election. So let's get to the details. Pro-Trump activists are plotting to help Trump exercise extraordinary presidential power over voting through a false declaration that China interfered with the 2020 presidential election. So if that's the case, Jenk, maybe we need to revisit all those congressional races where Republicans beat Democrats. Yeah, that was my idea back in 2020. They said, oh, this is an illegitimate election. It's great, then don't seat them. But the Democrats have no balls. They should have done that in the first place. You say that your election was fake? Great, I'm taking your seat away. We'll have a reelection. I didn't say it, you said it, right? So in this case, guys, this is not a left-right issue. This is the elites going, we're going to war with Iran, and 80% of Americans are against it. Time to steal the voting machines and federalize the elections. We're going to lock this thing down. We're done with propaganda. It stopped working. We're going directly to oppression. So tell them about it, Anna. So Trump is already reviewing his plans to mandate, you know, voter ID and more nefariously, if you ask me, you know, a ban on mail-in ballots for the midterm election. So clearly he knows that he's pretty unpopular right now for a number of different reasons, but. That unpopularity is likely going to be an even bigger issue for him as we go to war with Iran on behalf of a foreign country. But as far as the plotting from his, you know, pro-Trump activist goes, lawyer Peter Titkin.

1:15:04

is a Florida lawyer who's advocating for this draft executive order that Trump would sign, right? Now he says under the constitution, it's the legislatures and states that really control how a state conducts its elections. And the president doesn't have any power to do that. But here we have a situation where the president is aware that there are foreign interests that are interfering in our election processes. Okay, so he goes on to say, That causes a national emergency where the president has to be able to deal with it. So essentially, this is all about Trump declaring that there is some sort of a national emergency, which would help him increase his power over the election process in various states. Okay, that's the thinking here. So just so you have a better sense of who this tictin guy is, he was part of Trump's legal team. which filed an unsuccessful 22 lawsuit accusing Democrats of conspiring to damage Trump with allegations that his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia. Now, I think Democrats were really shady for doing that because it turned out not to be true. But nonetheless, he lost that suit. He's also the lawyer for Tina Peters, who was jailed. on state charges tied to the fact that she broke into a facility and into voting equipment in Colorado. She happened to be the former Colorado County Clerk. She's now serving nine years in prison for her crimes. So that's who this guy is. I wanted to give you a little bit of his background. But it is, but look. Is it true? Is there any reality behind this claim that China attempted to meddle in our elections or did meddle in our elections? Obviously, the answer is no. In fact, back in 2021, intelligence review suggested that China considered efforts to influence the election but didn't go through with it. And then last June, Republican Senator Chuck Grassley released FBI records showing an initial tip alleging that a Chinese effort was underway to produce fraudulent driver's licenses for mail-in ballots. So you know what that spurred? An investigation, which was launched in 2021 by Republicans, to look for bamboo fibers in Arizona ballots. Jenk, you'll be shocked to find that. They came up empty in that investigation. Yeah, no, the panda ate my vote, I know. Guys, this is a super serious issue and this is a red line. It cannot be crossed. I wanna be super clear. This is not the Save Act. This is not about voter ID. This is totally different. This is an executive order where Trump would declare a national emergency so he can. take over states and how they carry out their elections. So let me quote a part of this Washington Post article and from that same ticketing guy that Anna read you about. They explained the emergency would empower the president to ban mail-in ballots and voting machines as the vectors of foreign interference. So what that means is the federal government could seize voting machines.

1:18:18

The states run elections under our constitution, and the right wing used to say that was super important that they have that. If just the president or the elites in DC can seize the voting machines, it's over. then there is no more resistance. It doesn't matter if you're Republican or Democrat. Somebody at the White House will just tell you who won the election. I've seen that movie in the Middle East. I've seen that movie in a lot of places. It never ends well. It's never ended well once. That's why our Constitution is dead set against it. If he goes to seize voting machines. There's going to be pandemonium, a chaos you've not seen in America before, because no one's gonna stand for that. So the Washington Post managed to obtain early versions of this draft executive order. And I wanna actually read some of the wording to you because it's really important. One way that Trump might try to make this happen is by citing a Biden-era executive order. And this is what we talk about when we say every action your preferred party takes, you need to consider how you would feel if the opposite party use that to their advantage, right? So an early version of the proposed draft cites a 2018 executive order that declared an emergency to impose sanctions on foreign entities targeting election infrastructure. President Joe Biden repeatedly extended that emergency. the Treasury Department used the order to place Iranian and Russian entities under sanctions. So that's what Biden did. And under this draft executive order, Trump would theoretically use this or cite this as justification for what he is attempting to do in taking over and controlling how states carry out their elections process, right? So the proposed draft dated April 20, in April of 2025 reads, there is now clear and compelling evidence from court cases and forensic analysis that these threats have not been mitigated, meaning the threats that were cited by Biden, but instead have intensified. This constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States. Jerome Corsi, who circulated this draft executive order in July, says the stage is largely being set by the revelations coming out of foreign powers being involved in influencing the 2020 election. Again, I mean, all of this is BS, but This is what they're gonna claim to make their case. Corsi, by the way, helped spread the birtherism smear against Barack Obama. The 2025 draft of the proposed executive order also cites things like handmarked and hand counted paper ballots, which I'm gonna be fully honest, I'm totally in favor of. But to be clear, you know,

1:21:12

That's not the main thing that they're after here. They want to make it more difficult for people to vote by banning mail-in ballots altogether. They want to require voters to register again in order to vote in 2026. A lot of people are not going to know they need to do that. They're not going to end up doing that, and then they're not going to be able to vote. That's the whole point. They want to restrict mail ballots to very limited circumstances. The draft also cites emergency authority laws like the National Emergencies Act of 1976, the Defense Production Act of 1950, and the Federal Information Security Modernization Act. So this is what they're planning. So guys, paper balance, nothing wrong with that. We've advocated for paper ballots. Always. But you know, it's a combination of efficient way of doing this and making sure that there are paper ballots to validate it, right? We've been in favor of that for decades. So, so that's not what we're talking about. Secondly, you say, oh, well, mail in ballots, I hear Trump thinks that they're really dangerous. Really? Because Trump mails in his vote every time. And then he takes a picture like an idiot and puts it online. I know, it's amazing. So guys, okay, there's the hypocrisy, ha ha. But beyond that, If Trump really thought that mail and ballots were rigged, would he send in his own vote through the mail? Of course not. So of course he doesn't believe it, right? But so that to me is a huge, huge problem. But the voting machines is by far the biggest problem. Now if you shoe on another foot like Anna said. If the Democrats came to me and said, don't worry, trust me, bro. Biden's gonna seize all the voting machines and he's gonna tell you who won the election. I'd say, hell no, under no goddamn circumstances, no way, no how. No, that dementia riddled guy is gonna tell me he won the election after he seizes the voting machines. I'm not gonna destroy the country in our democracy so some stupid Democrat can win. Now I'm not gonna bow my head, okay? And no Americans should do that, no matter who's in charge. Finally, wait, let me get this right. They're so worried about election interference, right? Oh, what if the Russians did it? What if the Chinese did it? What if the Venezuelans did it? Is there a country that interferes with our elections more than any other country? Oh, yes, there is. It's called Israel. They literally give money to 94% of Congress. They bought Kamala Harris, gave her $5 million during the election. They bought Joe Biden, gave him $11 million. They bought Donald Trump, they had to give him a lot more, $337 million. But apparently that is not interference. Buying 94% of Congress and the presidents in both parties is not interference. In fact, get a little of this great irony. They're about to start a war with Iran that they know is deeply unpopular. It's going to go very poorly, but even if it doesn't, already 80% of Americans are against it, so what would you want to do if you know you're going to force America to do something that 8 out of 10 Americans don't want? You'd seize the voting machines.

1:24:19

We're talking about election interference? I would be shocked if this plan was not cooked up by some Israel first elite who said to Trump, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. No, you gotta start the war with Iran. Shut up and start the war. And then afterwards though, since no one in America wants it, and it's purely for us, make sure you don't let them vote. I mean, look, I don't know about all of that. Yeah, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't an Israel first guy. Shocked. And hey, we don't have any evidence of that. So like that speculation is fine if you want to speculate. No, yeah, the evidence is that they control all of Washington. But I hear you, on this specific issue, we don't know who wrote the memo, Anna's right. And when we find out it's an Israel first guy, I know we're all going to be shocked or somebody from the Heritage Foundation, et cetera, right? And so, but anyway, that's not the main point, guys. The main point is. If we were worried about election interference, we'd be worried about Israel. And instead, they're trying to distract you with, oh my God, what if bamboo shoots were put into the voting booths and then somehow China manipulated? But trust me, bro, I should have all the voting machines. Hell no. All right, when we come back from the break, Hillary Clinton was deposed today before the House Oversight Committee in regard to the Epstein files. We have some details on that and more coming up.

1:25:53

All right, back on TYT. Don't forget to switch. Save yourself a lot of money. You guys are going to do it at some point, and then you're going to write in and say, Chank, why didn't I do it six months ago when you told me to? Because now I'm saving $30, $50 a month, and I could have been saving it at all along. t.com slash switch. Nothing on your phone changes. All right. Barbie's back writes in on Super Chat, and I keep on speaking up. Oh, I'm going to, don't worry. Yeah, you just got that on lockdown. 0003 says, Democratic leadership under our duplicitous cucks. Couldn't agree more. Constantine Kavira says, slingblade is a great movie. I appreciate the reference. Noon Mountain says, Trump saying we want affordability is like Biden saying we beat Medicare. Suggestion, Zohran Mamdani, the Trump whisper should be the Dems leader. Not only did he get the Columbia student released today, you got a commitment for federal funds to build 12,000 housing units. You're here on that too, Michael. I was kind of shocked by that. Nice job, Zohran Mamdani. Nice job. Oh, look at that. You talk to the right wing and you get some things that you wanted out of him. No, he should not have had a conversation with Trump and he should not have freed that person. You must be pure. All right, nice job, Zohran Mamdani. He's a leader. That's what leaders do. They have conversations with people they disagree with in order to find solutions. That's how you win. Melania Martinez says, love you both. Thank you. We love you back. By the way, they were spreading a rumor that we don't like Zohran Mamdani. That's insane. Okay, can I just say like, I mean, I had a few concerns about Zohran Mamdani going in just because I've seen. some of the well-intentioned and poorly executed policies carried out in Los Angeles, and I was worried he was going to make similar mistakes. He had an interview with Jake Tapper recently that was really impressive. And of course, Jake Tapper was trying to find ways to jab him. But all he did was focus on his leadership in the middle of an insane winter storm. He talked about what he had deployed in order to get the snow off the roads as quickly as possible. And I know it sounds boring, like, because it's, you know, it's local stuff. But local stuff matters, right? He wants to be a public servant for the city that he represents. I get that everything has turned into national politics, but local leaders need to care about local issues, including what seems mundane to the rest of us. Like, how do we get the snow off the roads as quickly as possible? Yeah. So by the way, now that ironically, Americans might start voting for Muslim politicians because at least you know they're not going to be controlled by Israel. All right, Landover 100 says, a Jew here grew up in New Brunswick, New Jersey, represent. I'm 41, my dad was always anti-Zionist when I was nine. He told me birthright was propaganda for a military state. Love your dad, love your brother. Look, guys, we supported Bernie Sanders. If John's tour was running, I'd probably support him. This doesn't have any new with religion. All of that is just a smokescreen to make you bow your head to a foreign government, right? And an ideology, and an ideology. An ideology is not an identity. Zionism is not an identity. You are not born a Zionist. Zionist is a ideology people choose to believe in.

1:29:19

And I disagree with that ideology. That has nothing to do with someone being Jewish. It has everything to do with believing in a supremacist ideology. Maple Flame says it's always sad and scary to see those John Fetterman hostage videos as if he was avoiding immediate death. All right, we'll be back. All right, back on TYT, Jank and Anna. I have an update. Hold on, I have a really important update. So Washington Post is reporting, this is a story I covered yesterday, Jank, but it's an important update. Anthropic rejects Pentagon's terms for lethal use of its chatbot clawed, setting up clash with Pete Hegseth. So basically, Anthropic does not want its technology, its AI technology used to carry out like military strikes without humans controlling it. And Pete Hegseth is pissed about that. He wants the robots to be able to kill us. Yes, I mean to kill without any human interaction. That sounds like a great idea from the drunk at the Defense Department. Okay, well, I don't want him with his finger on the trigger. Whatever, right? Like everyone in Washington is a cancer. Anyways, don't say that. Almost everyone. Almost everyone. And yes, they're definitely a cancer in this country. They're absolutely ruining this country. Vote out all the incumbents. They're all disgusting. They're the very worst people in the country. Cheesy Fingers 79, which is a hilarious transition. Thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube. I do love this community. All right. Last one, Don Dada Dragon is a member on t.com. He said, it's going to get worse before it gets better. But Jenk is right. Like I said, my conservative friend from Mississippi loaths Trump and wants him and the rest of the Izzy's in Gitmo. So that doesn't mean that the guy in Mississippi is right. But what it does mean is there's an anger building in the country. And then they're gonna say, oh, I don't know where it came from. Where it came from is super obvious. Anna. With that in mind, let's talk about Hillary Clinton because she did testify today. She was deposed and I want to give you the details. So today Hillary Clinton was deposed by the House Oversight Committee over her ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Now while Clinton has repeatedly stated on the record that she never even encountered Jeffrey Epstein, she has interacted with Geelaine Maxwell. Now before we get to the details of what she had to say more, Jank your two cents. I am so looking forward to their defense. So just hit me with it. So remember right now we're only talking about Hillary Clinton and to be fair to her, we haven't seen a plethora of photos of her with Jeffrey Epstein or with. women and Jeffrey Epstein. So she is a little different from Bill. He will be deposed very soon. I'll get to that in just a minute. But in Clinton, Hillary Clinton's opening statement to members of the House Oversight Committee, here's what she stated. I had no idea about Epstein and Maxwell's criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island's home or office.

1:32:55

You have compelled me to testify fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation in order to distract attention from President Trump's actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers. So she came in punching, okay? Now, you'll note that Clinton specifically denied ever even encountering Jeffrey Epstein, but she has at least been in the same room as Ghislaine Maxwell. And how do we know that? Well, because Ghislaine Maxwell happened to attend Chelsea Clinton's wedding back in 2010. Now, 2010 was two years after Jeffrey Epstein had pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor for sex. So just keep that in mind. Now, he wasn't at the wedding, but Ghislaine Maxwell was. A reporter asked Clinton about Maxwell's attendance at Hillary Clinton's daughter's wedding, and here's what Hillary Clinton had to say. Can I ask, why was Ghislaine Maxwell, likely, the doctor at Chelsea Clinton's wedding in 2010? She'd already been mentioned in a civil lawsuit by Virginia Jew free before that. Jeffrey Epstein had already been convicted before that. She came as the plus one, the guest of someone who was invited. Okay, so that's her explanation. Now, that's not all. Maxwell and Hillary have both stated that they have interacted. A few times, so it's more than just the fact that Galate Maxwell was at Chelsea Clinton's wedding. Maxwell even claimed that she visited the Clinton's house in New York on multiple occasions. Now, former president, Bill Clinton, is going to sit down for his deposition hearing tomorrow. But here's how Hillary Clinton responded to a question about her husband after she was deposed herself. We've spoken your opening remarks about how heartbroken you have been for the Epstein survivors as these files come out. Can you talk to us a little bit about how you have processed and reacted to the fact that the former president, your husband, Bill Clinton, is referenced in the Epstein's numerous times, including in some photos featuring women. I think the chronology of the connection that he had with Epstein, ended several years. before anything about Epstein's criminal activities came to life and that he was

1:35:32

charged and sadly given a sweetheart deal, which as I said in my statement, had that not happened? Perhaps his predatory behavior could have been stopped earlier. But I think it is fair to say that the vast majority of people who had contact with him before his criminal pleas in 08 were like most people. They did not know what he was doing. Okay, that's fair. But the big question here is, how much did Bill Clinton know? And how much did you know about Jeffrey Epstein's criminality before the general public knew? Because she says, you know, Bill ended his relationship with Epstein well before his criminality came to light to the public. Okay, but what did he know before the public knew, right? And look, to be fair, there are many photos of Bill Clinton partying with Jeffrey Epstein. So I'll just give you a few examples. Here's one. Now he might be totally innocent, you know. Here's another one hanging out in a hot tub next to someone whose face is redacted. There's another one of a female putting their arm and him putting his arm around them, faces redacted. So obviously- There he is with Ghislaine Maxwell in a pool. Yep, there's just- I caught someone else in our B-roll that I want to show you guys in a second. Okay. So the B roll we just showed, that's a technical term guys, the video behind next to Anna. Let's roll down again, put it next to my side. And I'll show you guys what that. Okay, so that's Bill and Hillary. And I'm going to tell you the more important part of this story in a second. This, to me, Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell are a prelude to what this is about. Hold it, you see it? Who's behind Bill Clinton right there? Miriam Edelson. Oh my gosh, good catch. Okay, so next to the MMA guy, she's got those distinct glasses that she wears. How did you catch? That's amazing, I totally missed that. Wow. You see, like, it's all in the open. You just, but no one ever showed it to you before, right? So who else were the Clintons associated with? They were associated with Haim Saban, who was an enormous supporter of Israel. Epstein was associated with enormous supporters of Israel. Who invited Ghislaine Maxwell? We don't know, that would be an interesting question. If she's a theoretical plus one and didn't get invited by the Clinton's themselves, which I don't believe at all. But okay, then who was the plus one? Who was she a plus one to? Okay, now get a load of this. I'm about to blow your mind. Okay, do you want to know the guy described as Epstein's best friend, Turg Rod Larson? He's a Norwegian minister. He, in fact, Epstein left $10 million to his family in his will, okay? Guess what he put together? The Jon Ossoff Accords. So the Jon Ossoff Accords were set up by Epstein's best friend and then Bill Clinton connected to Epstein and Maxwell told us, oh, the Israelis gave him a great offer.

1:38:47

And the Palestinians wouldn't accept it. I guess the Israelis are gonna have to butcher them for another 25, 26 years, and I guess they're gonna have to take more of their land. Oh, golly, gee, the Jon Ossoff Accords. We, by the way, American negotiators for the Jon Ossoff Accords have come out and said, it's not really true at all. Like we gave, the Israelis gave terrible offers. And we tried to get them to the right thing and they wouldn't do it. As far as the entire media is known, and they'll say it a thousand times, the Israelis gave them what they wanted in Jon Ossoff. And it's all the Palestinians fault. We had to enslave them because they wouldn't agree to the terms that we gave them for their own freedom, which was to take most of their land. Well, it's all their fault. But don't look at Epstein, don't look at Miriam Edelson, don't look at Ghislaine Maxwell, even though they were all the pictures surrounding the Clintons and surrounding Trump and surrounding everyone in power. But don't believe you're lying eyes. I hope they get Bill Clinton. I hope they put him in jail. If you're a Democrat and you're all broken up over that, I don't care at all, okay, if he did it, if he did it. If he knew about these crimes, if he engaged in these crimes, yeah, he should be brought to justice 100%. I want to go to one other angle of this story, do a little reset here, because something interesting happened in the middle of this deposition today. And we'll be marching into the Bill and Hillary Clinton testimony today. I got little birdies on the inside right now that are texting and telling us what's going on. As I've been told by the committee, these will be taped. However, the members of Congress can live tweet. Members of Congress can send text messages to your boy and to all of us. Now this morning, Benny Johnson was bragging about his sources in the Hillary Clinton deposition hearing, but thanks to him, the hearing had to be paused for Nearly an hour. Why? Well, because he posted these photos that were provided to him by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert. She really should have done this. So this gets leaked to Johnson by Congresswoman Lauren Boebert and things didn't go so well. Both Lauren Boebert and Johnson have maintained that they did nothing wrong. But according to Axios and PBS, posting photos from inside the hearing is against House rules. A full video recording of Clinton's deposition will be uploaded after Clinton's attorneys review the footage. I think Benny Johnson is wrong about almost everything. But I don't see what what he did is wrong. Lauren Boebert is definitely wrong, right? I don't know that the house rules apply to us. If someone sent me that picture. It's not like he got in trouble. Yeah, did he get in trouble? No, but like people are saying like, oh, he might have violated the house rules. He's not in the house. No, he didn't do anything wrong. Right. Okay, she did something wrong. She's the one who violated the house rules. Look, as much as I disagree with Benny Johnson on honestly, almost everything.

1:41:52

In his capacity as a member of the media, he'd be crazy not to share those images, right? That's what you do. Something is leaked to you, and then you share it with your audience or your readers. I mean, I don't really know what the value of those images are to begin with. I learned nothing from those images, but nonetheless, it's Lauren Boebert who broke the rules here. You learned more from the image we just showed you a little earlier in the show of Miriam Edelson in the background as Bill Clinton's giving a speech. Wait, I thought she was a big Trump fan. Hmm, seems like they don't really care about Democrats or Republicans. There's only one thing they care about. And it's weird because in all the Epstein emails, he seems to care only about one country. It's the same country? What a coincidence that it all happens to be Israel. But hey, don't notice, if you notice, it's not their fault for saying, pretending that are Democrats and Republicans depending on who's in charge. It's not their fault for flying Jonathan Pollard back on a private jet and give him a hero's welcome in Israel. The Edelson's did that. It's your fault for noticing. Yeah. All right, let's take a break. And when we come back, we'll talk about whether or not Benjamin Netanyahu had any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein at all, because he denies it. New York Times reported something last year that went unnoticed that proves otherwise.

1:43:47

All right, Don Dada dragging rights in on t.com. Didn't Bill Clinton get threatened by Israel who was going to leak the Lewes Lewinsky story? Yep, that's another thing that our media totally ignores. How is that not a spectacular story? Apparently Benjamin Netanyahu threatened Bill Clinton before any of us knew about Monica Lewinsky. Hey, you better do as we tell you, otherwise we'll leak the Lewinsky tapes. How is that not a giant story? Our media is a joke, they're a national embarrassment. Okay, Ellsbell says yes, and that's, by the way, all Americans are anti-Semitic for. finding out about that story. Ells Bell says yes and it's refreshing to see a local politician Zohran Mamdani who isn't constantly auditioning for a position on the national stage. Jen can reference to having no worries about Muslim politicians taking money from Israel. I don't know like the million dollar man Ted Diabasi said everybody's got a price. I don't know of course like I'm just kidding around like Dr. Oz would probably do it in a second. So never trust people just based on ethnicity, never hate people based on ethnicity, actually listen to what they say and judge them for who they are, not what their group is, okay? Teddy Lucy Linda says, Hillary killed it today, go ahead, judge me. No, no problem, right? Like that's not the issue. Like yeah, she's throwing it back into the Republicans face their hypocrisy. She did a fine job with that.

So J. Condrat 14 says, every accusation is a confession and now referring to what Mark Levin said, does Israel have nuclear tip weapons pointed at the US? I mean. By the way, no joke. Again, you could see it on my timeline on X. Jonathan Pollard said that Israel has threatened US with nukes before. And he said then they did what we told him. I mean, I don't know anybody would know it better than Jonathan Pollard, right? And that's the one that Miriam Aedelson and Sheldon Aedelson gave a hero's welcome. Oh, sorry. Heroes welcome to Jonathan Pollard. They're contributing to all of our politicians. They're buying all of our politicians. Meanwhile, everybody who notices is an anti-Semite. Okay, Duff Talley says, I'm a Nigerian American from one of the three major tribes, which are Christians. Because I agree with TYT about not letting them divide us and crazy attacks at Ilhan Omar. I've donated to her before. However, as I got another text from her campaign for donations, my response is, if you do an interview at TYT, I'll donate again. Okay, look, guys, the point isn't to do interviews with us, although I appreciate you so much. The point is, go on the shows, make a case, fight for what you believe in. Look, I'll say, I'll go further. I don't know why Rashida Tlaib doesn't do shows. Rashida Tlaib should be the most prominent. Congress person in the country. Look, I haven't been following everything she's been doing and neither have you. So like let's just- No, no, no, but I follow this. She's not on any of the shows. Yeah, that's true. She's not on any of the shows. That's true, okay. Okay, you're scared. Well, we're all scared, right? So, but here we are. Okay, anyways, LCPR 666 says exactly, Jane. There should be thunder's opposition to this so that people don't think it's a foregone, done deal. Smitten for Anna writes in, as a Pennsylvania, I'm demoralizing and humiliated to have been enthusiastic about John Fetterman at one point. Or else his brain is truly sick for medical illness and I hope he heals. I guess we hope he heals cabbage. The majority of Congress is paid to want this war and they are there for it. Yep.

All right, back on TOT, Janganana with you guys. Night of Mirage Odyssey. Thank you for gifting a membership. Back to death and destruction. All right. No, this is actually a really interesting story. And mind you, we have to always remember, we still don't have all of the Epstein files. So anyone who's like, no, no, for sure, this public figure or this politician or this journalist had nothing to do with Epstein, we don't know. Because we still don't have access to all the Epstein files. But nonetheless, let's talk about whether or not Benjamin Netanyahu in particular had any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. So. Turns out Jeffrey Epstein met with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu as early as 1989. And that's not according to me, Jank. That's according to reporting from the New York Times that went unnoticed, which I'm about to get to in just a minute. And that is relevant today because Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly attacked his political opponent Ehud Barak for his association with Epstein, which was. long running and wide ranging, certainly more so than we know about Benjamin Netanyahu. But before we get to all those details, Jake, your thoughts? Yeah, so Anna's going to share you a couple of clear instances where Benjamin Netanyahu and Epstein are working together. So that's very revealing. Then I want to give you the broader context of how much Epstein worked with Israel, because it is overwhelming. All right, Anna. Now, I don't know how our producer, Taylor Ellis, found this article. It was published by the New York Times in December of last year, December 16th, to be specific. It's titled Screams, Schemes, Ruthless Cons, the untold story of how Jeffrey Epstein got rich. You did a Freudian slip there. You said screams, which I'm sure existed, but it was scams. Apologies, scams, not screams. I think I said screams because I'm screaming inside every day these days. But okay. So the report chronicles Epstein's rise to power. And it also downplayed Epstein's, you know, ties in relationship with our own government, foreign governments, and intelligence services, because of course, it couldn't be true that. Epstein had any ties to intelligence services. But nonetheless, in that very same report, we learned that as early as 1989, Epstein was meeting with foreign government officials, and one of them happened to be Benjamin Netanyahu. So in 1989, Benjamin Netanyahu was a member of the Israeli Knesset. He was not prime minister yet. And as a member of the Lakud party, he's always been a member of the Lakud party. And as the Times reported... in December of last year, Epstein began donating thousands to politicians and developing relationships with them. In 1989, Epstein accompanied Wayne Owens, a Democratic congressman from Utah, on a trip to the Middle East to explore ways to promote business ties between Israel and its neighbors. Now, Epstein apparently struck the participants of this meeting as out of his depth and bored.

1:50:51

Dan Gordon, a screenwriter who was part of the entourage, says he warned Owens that Epstein was showing disrespect by his slovenly attire in meetings with Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and Shimon Peres and Saudi Arabia's crown prince at the time, the types of connections that Epstein would cultivate in the years ahead. One of Owens' aides, the Times writes, Michael Yeager. recalled Epstein boasting about his Indiana Jay Jones-like pursuit of hidden assets and his close ties to Leslie Wexner. So look, that is the only mention of Benjamin Netanyahu in this New York Times piece. Taylor Ellis reached out to the Times to get a little more, you know, elaboration, answer a few questions, but we have not heard back. Now, the reports authors have written at length about Jeffrey Epstein, per our own research, but have yet to report in more detail on Epstein's meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu. So like, I want to learn more about. what was said in that meeting. Like what did they talk about? None of that, none of that detail is in the New York Times piece. Now later we learned that Epstein connected Benjamin Netanyahu to JPM Morgan Chase executives in 2011. So the Daily Beast actually reported the following in 2023. In March 2011, one JP Morgan employee wrote to JPMorgan executive Jess Staley. And another high level executive, quote, against all odds, we have been granted a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Staley forwarded the message to Epstein and wrote, thanks to which the convicted sex offender replied, surprise, surprise. Now, I want to be very clear, we have not seen any evidence that Benjamin Netanyahu engaged in any lascivious or like shady sexual behavior or activity. The whole point of this is that Epstein did meet with Benjamin Netanyahu, even though Benjamin Netanyahu denies it. And what we do know for certain is that Epstein does have close ties with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Earlier this month, Benjamin Netanyahu said the following. I can't believe he posted this, but anyway, Jeffrey Epstein's unusual close relationship with Ehud Barak doesn't suggest Epstein worked for Israel. It proves the opposite. Barack's personal fix, it's hilarious, Barack's personal fixation led him to engage in activities publicly and behind the scenes to undermine the government of Israel, including fueling mass protest movements, fomenting unrest, and feeding false media narratives, which is total. complete nonsense. One of the things that Epstein did on behalf of Israel has helped them procure cyber weapons. Why would he do that if he's not working for Israel? Now, according to the New York Times, Benjamin Netanyahu has more of a history with, you know, according to that Times piece, it feels like Epstein has more of a history with Epstein than he's letting on. But one other thing I want to mention, Jank, recently we shared reporting.

1:54:02

having to do with the DOJ's recent release of Epstein files and emails. And in those emails and files, we learned that the Israeli government, beginning in 2016, began installing surveillance and security systems in Epstein's Manhattan apartment. This began in 2016. They did so under the guise of, oh, Ehud Barak visits often, so we want to secure the building. Benjamin Netanyahu was the prime minister of Israel at the time. Oh, that's weird. It seems like he knew I've seen that. I mean, he certainly knew that Ehud Barak was constantly visiting Epstein's Manhattan apartment, which was being heavily surveilled by the Israelis at the time. Yeah. So, you know, Anna mentioned earlier, nobody's charging the Benjamin Netanyahu had anything to do with the sex, of course, because he knew there was video cameras everywhere. So why, if you're the one setting it up, you're not going to fall into the trap, presumably. So now Benjamin Netanyahu and J.P. Morgan had, as Anna described to you, meet because Epstein set it up. Okay, not only does that prove that Benjamin Netanyahu obviously did know who Epstein was. In fact, they were stunned that he could, Epstein at any moment he wanted could get the Israeli prime minister to show up to a business meeting. And he did, right? So now you go to the former prime minister, Ehud Barak. He arranged a meeting with him and the French president and the head of the Rothschild Bank. Huh, FCC is pretty powerful, right? To be able to do this. And then the former Prime Minister, again, Ahud Barag, with Vladimir Putin. He could get a meeting with Vladimir Putin? I mean, only the most powerful men on earth could get a meeting with Vladimir Putin or the French president or the guy who set up the Jon Ossoff Accords or any, or the Norwegian prime minister, et cetera. And every single time, it is to help the Israelis. Huh, things that make you go home. Now, since we're talking about the 1980s in the story, there's one other thing that. Everyone saw there's something that is super revealing and it drives me crazy that everyone ignores it because it settles an issue and then everyone pretends that the issue is not settled. So drop site news already got leaked emails that show that Epstein was the guy who made a deal with the CIA to launder the planes that were using. to bring in drugs to the country in the middle of Iran country. You remember? Yes. That story, right? And they say Israeli intelligence was also involved in that operation. And we don't know what Israeli intelligence did other than maybe they laundered the planes. Oh, who laundered the planes? Oh, Jeffrey Epstein.

1:56:45

Because he traded him out for, he bought them on behalf of Leslie Wexner to use them for victorious secrets and other products. And that's how you launder a plane. Oh, that plane, they didn't have drugs on it. That was Victoria's secrets planes, right? So even if you say, hey, you know what, the part where he's Israeli intelligence in that particular story is not perfectly proven, that's true, okay? And we don't know exactly what Israeli intelligence there did definitively. But do we know that our intelligence, CIA, is aware of Jeffrey Epstein since the 1980s? Definitively, yes, there is no question at all. The CIA has been aware of Jeffrey Epstein. Absolutely. Since the 1980s, Benjamin Netanyahu has been aware of Jeffrey Epstein since the 1980s. And they have been doing these international deals throughout including buying cyber weapons for, you'll never guess it. How did you know it was for Israel? But what's interesting, Anna, last thing is, New York Times does a story. This has good details and good facts in it, right? But somehow they could never connect the dots. I know, that stood out to me as well, right? And it seems like despite increasing evidence tying Jeffrey Epstein to the Israeli government, dating back decades, you keep seeing reports from people who deny it, right? They're like, well, now that we have all these files, we're done. The proof is in the pudding. Epstein had no ties to Israel whatsoever. Now look, let me- It's hilarious, it's amazing. Now, look, guys, I know it's partly like a semantic thing, but it does matter. It matters to be precise. So just yesterday, I was on a forum for Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft. Murataza Hussein, who is a fantastic reporter for DropSight, was part of it. Look, he has been pouring over these files and doing incredible reporting on it. So I trust him more than my own thoughts, right? And he doesn't actually think that Epstein was part of the Israeli government. He was more. a money launderer who was a hardcore Zionist who wanted to do work on behalf of Israel. So a lot of the work he did do was on behalf of Israel. But make no mistake, he was wheeling and dealing and making all sorts of weird international deals as like some rando, right? So how did he find himself in that powerful position? There's still. a lot of missing pieces to the story. So look, I struggle with that all the time and I understand what he's saying and he has an excellent case to me. And it could be that Epstein and all of his friends naturally just wanted to help Israel. That's why every transaction was to help Israel. That's actually slightly worse because then it's not the Israelis, it's people that love Israel that live here.

1:59:42

So that's really bad and I don't want it to be that. That definitely exists here. Right, so I'm worried about that. But the other reason why I'm not positive that he's right, I understand again, what he's saying because you could try to help Israel in every way. And there's a lot of folks who just love Israel. And he was, he was a supremacist. I mean, if you read the emails, he. The way he refers to non-Jewish people constantly, calling them, you know, goy, goyem, this and that. How dare you say it at all? I know, but by the way. He's allowed to say it, but you're not. If you are a goy, you're not allowed to refer to yourself as that, okay? That's considered wrong. That's very bad. It's kind of like the reverse of the N word. Like black folks are allowed to say it, but non-blacks aren't allowed to say it. But in this case, if you're a G word, you're not allowed to say the G word. Please don't say G word, please don't do that. Okay, but if you say, but if you're a weirdo, this doesn't apply to all Jews at all, it doesn't even apply to it, the overwhelming majority of Jews at all, right? But these sick guys that were doing this, they use it left and right and nobody has any issues. My best friend is Jewish, I've never heard her use that word once. Right. Never. Okay, she's been my best friend since I was 16, not once. I want to go back to the point Mertaza was making. It's possible that the entire operation wasn't run by Israel, but the guy running it wanted to help Israel, right? So the operation helped Israel, even though Israel didn't necessarily sign on to it. And a good piece of evidence for that, by the way, is that the Israelis put in the surveillance cameras way later, right? As Anna told you, like 2016, right? So, and there's also a... They issued, oh, like the Rothschilds. No, no, no, don't get it twisted. He starts making a deal with the Rothschilds in 2013. So way after all, everything started, right? Okay, now having said that, there's cameras and they're recording this super rich and powerful. That's a classic honeypot operation. And honeypot operations are intelligence.

2:01:52

Okay, but so you want me to think that a honeypot operation that our intelligence is perfectly aware of is not an intelligence operation. That's weird. So we don't know everything yet, but the things we do know is, yes, Epstein and all of his friends and allies were obsessed with helping Epstein. Yes, Epstein ran a terrible pedophile ring and did a lot of other illicit things. And yes, whatever ammo he had, he used on behalf of Israel, whether they had signed up for it or not. And yes, it's a honeypot operation. And yes, the CIA definitely knew about Epstein. Yeah. So, but apparently we can't connect all the dots yet, okay? So I've connected enough of them to know which country benefited from Epstein. That one's not unclear. I agree, yeah. Okay, all right, we gotta go. I got a great interview about corruption and how it's taking over the White House and all Washington coming up next.
