Thank you, John Iderlo with you guys on what we hope is a lovely Friday evening for everyone. So we've got a lot of news for you, of course, as always. So Abdul El-Sayed has driven the right wing crazy now, along with the establishment. It's funny how similar they are. And there is devastating story out of the West Bank, of course. And we're gonna talk about the hypocrisy of how The mainstream media treats those two different things. If you're killed in the West Bank, it's no big deal at all. You're only a Palestinian or an American. And then Israel is a spy in the UN, of course. But one piece of news that is a little bit devastating, Iran might not want a peace deal. If that's the case, oof, buckle up. Race for a lot more impacts. Okay, John, we're gonna get started with the Abdul's story. I'll get it started and then you're gonna take it from there. Sounds good. Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan and that has driven the right wing media nuts. You're gonna be shocked to find out that they decided to go with a bigoted approach. Wait, is that really fair? Well, let's watch. It looks like Abdul El-Sayed, who is an unholy alliance, Islamofascist and a communist at the same time. He's got the two tools in the toolkit, won the primary by a sliver last night. And it scares me as an American citizen. I think that after 9-11, this guy's best friend says that America deserved 9-11. And to me, Mike Rogers is the guy that would be the first responder going to help. the victims of 9-11, and Abdul El-Sayed is the guy that would have been friends of the guys flying the plane. This is as clear as it gets. Look at all these clips. Look at all these clips. I don't, I don't, we don't have time. I mean, under the idea that all people are created equal, all men, but that only meant certain men. Whoa, what are you sure? I don't know if that's Arabic or not. You dirty bastard. You dirty sky, you absolute rat. You parasite. Abdul El-Sayed is a radical advocate for Muslims, including terrorists. But El Sayyad is, of course, a radical Muslim. He has significant ties to Dearborn. He campaigns there all the time. He has significant ties to Dearborn, Michigan. That's a charge that makes you guilty of something? You know that's inside this country and nobody in Dearborn did anything wrong. He just says it like a bunch of Muslims that live there. And he says he's a radical Muslim. That makes sense because Ben Shapiro is a radical Jew. Oh wait, you're not allowed to say that, but you are allowed to say whatever you want about Muslims apparently. But mainstream media John has been going nuts over these comments. I'm hearing they haven't and they don't care at all. In fact, they generally join it. And is it possible to be a fascist and a communist at the same time, let alone a made up word like Islamofascist, John? I don't even know what some of this is supposed to mean. Yeah, he has, I guess maybe you can be Muslim, but you can't have ties to places where Muslims live in the United States or something. I guess that's automatically bad. You'll know he doesn't say why it's bad.

Because he doesn't have a reason that it's bad. They call him a radical Muslim. You'll note that they don't like show policy positions he has that are radically Muslim. They don't quote him saying anything radically Muslim. He's a radical Muslim because he's a Muslim and that's the only kind of Muslim that they will allow. It's the only religion that you could just automatically say, not only are you the radical form of that, but you're also a terrorist automatically. They're all calling him at the, the nicest ones say he's a supporter of Islamic terrorism. Some Laura Lumer just say he is an Islamic terrorist himself. He's a jihadist. I've watched quite a bit of Abdul El-Sayed. Other than the fact that I know that he is technically Muslim, I've almost never heard him say anything about it. Like I literally don't know where any of it's coming from, except that their brains have been rotted by identity politics. And that's literally all they have to go with. And so they attack him not only about calling him a radical or whatever. Also, by the way, he's a socialist, even though he's not a socialist. They will literally lie about just, he calls himself a capitalist. He's not in the DSA. He wasn't endorsed by the DSA. So they lie about his ideology. They lie about his platform. They lie about his religion. And as you'll see soon, because we're gonna get into some more clips, they lie about his literal background and personal history too. It's just lies because they have nothing substantive or accurate based in reality to attack this guy on. Yeah, just real quick, I mean, a lot of Arabs live in Dearborn, Michigan, so apparently that makes it an evil town or something. And again, people in media say that, and there's no consequences, no one cares, no one, you know, there's not going to be any congressional hearings over it. But imagine if somebody said, you know, obviously Ben Shapiro was guilty because he associates with the Jews in Boca. People are like, what? Are you insane? That'd be crazy. And that would get you eliminated from all media, all politics. You say, yeah, yeah, but they're Jews, so they gotta be radical Jews, and a bunch of them live in Boca Raton, a dump filled with a bunch of Jews. You'd be instantly eliminated, and you should be. What kind of a ludicrous thing is that to say, Boca's a lovely place? Dearborn is a lovely place, but the minute you say Muslims, you're allowed to call them rats, parasites, etc. Benny Johnson had called Jews parasites and rats, he'd be done. He'd be utterly done. Right? But the double standard is infinite, because we're showing your right wing media here, and John's got more. But remember, mainstream media is their accomplice. They say things in a similar way, just a shade lighter. They don't mind the right wing saying this at all. But the minute if you said it about, again, somebody who supports Israel, the media would cover 24-7 and say it was the biggest, most important thing in the world. Yeah. So tell us more. Yeah, and look, I've been fighting against this idea that's been very longstanding. I think mainstream media has helped with this. I think a lot of people help with it. The idea that the left or libs or whatever, the label changes, they're the ones that do an identity politics. It's the right. It's always been the right. It's all they have. And look, this is a particularly egregious case. You can see it and everything they say about him. But remember, they're doing the same thing to James Talarico.

It's all about whether he's vegan, whether he's gay, whether he's trans, all this stuff. It's never about substance. It's never about the economy. All they have is their sick, twisted, toxic parfait of bigotries. But anyway, as I said, we do have more clips to get into, and some are a little bit longer, so I didn't want to throw them all into a mashup. So here we're going to get to how, I believe in both of the next two cases, how Newsmax is handling it. Here is Rob Schmidt. An anti-Western DSA endorsed Muslim Egyptian candidate who pals around with Ilhan Omar and Hasan Piker is the flavor of the month in Michigan among Democrats. A candidate with a name they can't spell who, who knows, maybe might try to impose Sharia law. That's what Democrat voters now want. Extra points if they can't guess what country are from, too. They love that in the Democrat Party, the Democrat voting base. Yeah, so he's not DSA endorsed. Are you legally allowed to just make a verifiably false claim about an endorsement if you want? I mean, I could do that. We could do it. We just start saying that. Sure. Also, you know, you know which country he's from? This one. This is the country. He multiple times just stated that he was from Egypt, just lied about his national origin, calling him a foreign or whatever. I believe he came back. No, sorry, Finnerty, another guy in Newsmax, eventually corrected himself the following broadcast. But you know why they would make the mistake because look at him. How could he possibly be one of us? He doesn't look Irish. He doesn't look Scottish, not a trace of German heritage. He must be a foreigner, I guess. He must have come from somewhere else. And he's got a silly name and I can't spell it and I refuse to learn how to say it. That is how. All of them have addressed this guy. Not only, again, lies about the DSA, lies about his ideology, maybe he'll do Sharia law. What, what has he ever said literally anything about that? They just a couple of years ago removed bodily autonomy from tens of millions of women based on their radical ass form of Christianity. But Abdul El-Sayed, because he's a Muslim, obviously he's going to try to mix religion with the law. It's just grotesque. Yeah. What do you think? Yeah, real quick on that. They can't spell his name. No, I think you can't spell his name. They don't know where he's from. You're a news anchor. Why don't you look it up? By the way, you know where he's from? Michigan. I looked it up. And I love the way he casually says, who knows, maybe he'll do Sharia law. If you don't know, why are you saying it, let alone the fact that he's never said that. So you just made that up. Yeah, 100%. Also, his name's Abdul. That's not like I don't think of myself as like a linguist or anything. I don't think that's complicated. I figured out how to say Sir Sharonan. I think you should be able to figure out how to say Abdul. Abdul. Abdul. No, no, John, nobody in America has ever heard of Abdul. Like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, nobody's ever heard. No, no, definitely not. My last name is Ida Rola, okay? Egypt's not the only place that has names that might be tough for you, Rob Schmidt or whatever. Anyway, we have another Rob weighing in. Take a look.

A man named Abdul El-Sayed is about to become the first Muslim socialist ever nominated for the United States Senate in Michigan. And does he kind of look like somebody you might be familiar with? Maybe that other socialist Muslim who's always smiling, the one in New York City. But that's not Zohran Mamdani. This is Abdul El-Sayed, which isn't even his full name. My whole name. is Abdul Rahman, Muhammad, Assayy. Yeah, that's terrific. Senator, that what he just said from the state of Michigan in November, maybe. An immigrant from another Muslim country who could become a senator. Abdul is from Egypt. When it's time to scale your business, it's time for Shopify.

They call literally every day. Hillary Clinton was socialist. Of course, they're going to call him a socialist. And then he says his first of all, he mispronounced every name in that. So then he hears Abdul say his actual name. And he says, yeah, that. That's not a thing I'd have to learn. I'm a white guy. You think I'm gonna try to learn that in this country? No, I base my entire self-worth on the hierarchies I've built up in my own brain. I don't have to say that mishmash of consonants or whatever he said. It's just bigotry. That's all that it is at all. And then of course the lies, the constant lies about where he's from and there he's an immigrant and all that absolute nonsense. And that's not some YouTuber, I guess. Although we held ourselves to higher standards, Jank. He is on a network news show. He's one of their nighttime people. And that's how he addressed the Democratic nominee for the Senate. Yeah, I mean, look, he didn't bother trying to make an argument at all. Every single thing he said there was just an attack on him for just being Muslim. But my favorite was a guy with a name like that might become a senator. And? And what? And what, right? Okay, well, you could fill in a Chinese, imagine if he again, let's use the thing that, just switch religions. A guy named Harry Rubenstein is gonna become a US senator. Well, that sounds pretty ugly, right? Fill in the blank with a Muslim name and he thinks it's perfectly okay. What is this? I don't even think you have to do the religious thing. If it's just that you don't think the name fits in the Senate, Tommy Tuberville, Tuberville is going to be a senator. Come on, too ridiculous. It shouldn't be allowed. See how we could do this, but you wouldn't like that. Would you, Rob Schmidt? That doesn't seem fair to you because you get to be at the top of the hierarchy that you created for yourself. Isn't that amazing the way that works out? But John, John, it's a hierarchy based on names. How can you argue with it?

Well, because my name is hard to pronounce. And so this hurts me a little bit, actually. Everybody thinks it's an L. I'm not Laterola. Anyway, also, Jank, you do have to admit, doesn't he kind of look like Zohran Mamdani, whose name he also mispronounced? I mean, look at them. They're both smiling in the photos we chose. He kind of looks like, dude, I can't tell you from the other Newsmax host. We literally got your names mixed up. They're literally both rob. They're like corporate media robots. We do not like Muslims. We love tax cuts for the rich. We love giving money to Israel. You guys are identical, dude. Nobody gives a damn about what you think. And John, the funniest part of that was like, they're both smiling. Yeah, that is scary. They're both smiling and Trump is turned on equally by both of them. Yeah, and it's just like you can literally just put their faces and say, I think they look alike. That's the thing you can do to Muslims now. Totally different country. Like one's, I believe he's Egyptian, maybe Indian Egyptian in origin or something like that. Zohran Mamdani isn't, whatever, same thing. It's all the same. Imagine if you did this to Christians. Just like he said, a Muslim socialist. You can't even talk about Christians that way. This is just a mad. fully 24-7 identity politics, baseless, no substance way to address the candidacy. And it's been going on for literally days. Okay, just real quick, Zohran Mamdani's lineage is South Asian. They were actually came from Uganda. His parents had gone to Uganda and then they came here. But they're South Asian and Abdul El-Sayed's families originally from Egypt. South Asian and Africa, two different continents. Okay, but they look similar and I can't pronounce either one of their smiling names. Oh man, you got him, man. That is a compelling reason not to vote for someone. I didn't know they were gonna come in with this much substance. 100%. Well, we have more. So Finnerty, at least. He's the second of the robs, I think. I don't know, they all look alike to me. He corrected himself, saying Abdul was born in Michigan. He is not an immigrant. So thank you on the follow program actually doing that. He then went on to attack him for using the phrase, inshallah, saying the official language of the United States of America is English. It's not Arabic. That doesn't mean you can't use another language at some point. Him saying isn't a DMV document. You can say other things. But no, you can't. You cannot use an Arabic term that's not allowed in this land of the free, obviously that Newsmax has always supported, Jank. Yeah, I caramba. No.

That's one bad ombre. So look, to be fair, they just want good English words and phrases like, hey, maybe he's the big cheese, right? You know that phrase has nothing to do with Swiss cheese, American cheese? Cheese actually means boss in Farsi, and that's part of the English language now. That's why it's evil and why we shouldn't elect anyone with funny names. Yeah, I didn't know. You learn something new on the show every day. Okay, so that's him. Now we have Rudy Giuliani, who I was surprised to find out is still alive. So in his radio show, he compared Abdul El-Sayed to an Arab prince who wants to destroy your country. He claimed we may end up having a majority taking the oath of office on the Quran, and the whole country will change. No, we won't, first of all, second of all, if you're going to claim that that's a bad thing, which you're implying, would you care to ever make an argument? Why would that be a bad thing? First of all, you know what I'd be fine with? Not swearing in on any religious text. I don't know as an atheist. I don't see what the point of literally any of that is, but you don't see me whining about it every single day. And he's not an Arab prince. He's a dude from a suburb of Detroit. Those are vastly distinct things. Yeah, several congresspeople have already been sworn in on the Quran and the country did not explode. Or implode, it's still right here just like it was before. And again, I'll do it because it gives you a sense because one sounds jarring because mainstream media has told you it's terrible and they're right about that. The other one seems like normal. Oh, you say Arab prince out to destroy our country. Normal, right? So let's do the other one. That's a Jew prince out to destroy our country. And you're done. Your show is canceled. You're eliminated. You're never seen in public again. And that's true. You shouldn't be. That's terrible, right? But he says it with a different race. And everybody's like, oh, that's totally fine. Ah, Rudy. Octo Squitty seems to have pointed out that we, I think we know what movie Rudy Giuliani had just said not only because he conceives of Abdul as an Arab prince, but that he would usher in a whole new world. I love that. That's a classic. I'm going to show it to my daughter, Rudy, but it's not the real world. Anyway, Laura Lumer attacked El-Syad during the primary, calling him a jihadist based on. nothing, who wants to destroy your country. Now he wants to take part in the governance of it actually. He loves it so much that after serving in a variety of different areas, he now wants to work as an elected official. He says, this is a guy who doesn't just practice Islam, but he also has explicit support for terrorist organizations calling him a Hamas sympathizer, obviously. By the way, in her responses, a couple of tweets since he got elected, she went on these long conspiracy.

theories about how mosques all over America are stockpiling military grade weapons, which I've always been told of the most patriotic weapons. I don't know why all of a sudden that's a bad thing. Grenades and all sorts of stuff because they're going to arm millions of military age Muslim men to take over the country. And she is obviously fully in support of us just raiding and shutting down mosques all over America. Again, we are a free country according to her. Yeah, so here we go, I'm gonna do it again. Okay, now see it's totally made up. There's no evidence of any of that, okay? So okay, imagine if I made up something similar. And I said, I think that they're stocking weapons in the synagogues because the Jews are gonna attack us and take over the country. They got grenades, they got military-grade weapons in the synagogues. We should destroy all the synagogues and make sure that they can't have any of their temples in this country. Instantly eliminated, no one ever hears from me again. And again, that would be absurd and totally, you know, understandable reaction. Yeah. She says it about mosques, not a peep. I'm sorry, John, maybe I missed it. Did Jake Tapper and Databash do angry diatribes about it on CNN today? No, we're gonna have to leave that to all of the mainstream news hosts who are Muslim to represent that faith, except that there's basically none. I can think of like one. Again, diversity actually matters. Maybe you would have some defense of candidates like this if it wasn't mostly all Christians or maybe some atheists in there. In any event, Conspiracy theorists that claimed less than that they were stockpiling guns and grenades and all that against synagogues has literally resulted in attacks on synagogues. Many people have lost their lives because of the conspiracy theorizing of a sort that Laura Lumer was doing. She's now making even more specific claims against mosques. So if somebody were to go in and shoot up a mosque tomorrow, I mean, what are we supposed to say that those are totally disconnected things? I mean, she's saying they're preparing to murder you and your family. They're stockpiling weapons. What are you gonna do? You're just gonna let them do that? That's what she's saying. She's a powerful person, Jenk. Not just has an audience or whatever is making ad revenue. She gets to like choose who's hired and fired in the federal government. The Trump administration is tighter with her than any Democratic administration has ever been with the young Turks. And she's making these sorts of claims online with literally no basis. Yeah, I mean, that's hilarious. Democratic administrations wouldn't let us walk by the White House. They're like, oh my God, do you guys actually want to do the agenda? We were just lying. Oh, get away from us, right? Whereas she's like, I'm here to serve Israel. Israel wants that person fired, that person fired, that person fired. And they're like, yes, sir, right away, ma'am. I mean, ma'am, I guess. So, okay, so she has the power to fire anyone Israel doesn't like inside the White House. She says she's going to, you know, lobbying to be the.

head of Homeland Security, that's a segment we have later in the show. And people have already attacked mosques and Islamic centers, many times. In this country and other countries, and she's egging them on with nothing but lies, right? And that's why they've done congressional hearings about Laura Lumer, and that's why cable news is constantly enraged about the anti-Semitism coming out of Laura Luma against other Semites, Arabs. Right, right, that's almost never happened and they don't care and they think it's perfectly normal if you do it to Muslims because look guys, I get it. First of all, I want to clarify two things here. Number one, just because right wing media is doing it doesn't mean that right wing voters all agree. So fair show in America, right? So do some right wing voters agree? Unfortunately, yes, of course, right? But overall, right wing voters in Tennessee. took out Andy Ogles who said that Muslims don't belong in America. That just happened yesterday. We're going to talk about that later in the show. And so, yes, the voters are split. And by the way, these days a lot of right wingers are coming out, including in media like Tucker Carlson Candace Owens, et cetera, and saying Muslims are not our enemy. We were tricked into that. So unlike them, we're not. You know, saying this is a blanket statement. These are the same right wing media who all tell you that Israel's God's gift to humanity and you have to take out your money and give it to all to them. You have to go into their endless wars, et cetera. So it's the same propaganda machine. And they're kissing cousins of mainstream media who also tell you Israel's the victims. You have to give all your money to them. And you have to do their wars, et cetera. So it's corporate media. It's got a right wing version. It's got a mainstream version. And they're both driving towards the same agenda. You must serve Israel. Muslims are the enemy. And attacking them is no big deal. And you're allowed to be racist or bigoted towards them. But if you do it towards anyone who supports Israel, we're gonna take your head off and eliminate you from the national conversation. And on that one, we don't care if you're Muslim or Christian or atheists. It doesn't matter. You speak against Israel, there will be consequences. You speak against Muslims. Bravo. They'll probably give you a standing ovation at CNN. Because I don't see them saying anything. All I see on CNN is the same garbage just with different words. They're likely to lose now in Michigan. That's not true. That's not what the polling shows. I mean, Harry Anton yesterday did a comical segment where he's like, oh, chances of Democrats winning is down in Lake Michigan now. And on the screen he has Abdul and his argument for it was Calciads. Okay, I'm a little intrigued by that. I'm not saying it's totally legitimate at all, right? But it showed that he had a 59% chance and Mike Rogers only had a 41% chance. He's leading by 18. We can see the numbers there on the screen, Harry. But he's like, it's going way down. Now, he's not saying Muslim, but he's saying, wink. Wink, wink, remember, nobody's gonna elect Abdul El-Sayed and every anchor on CNN. They're gonna lose, they're gonna lose, look at him, look at him. Oh, he doesn't even love Israel. How dare he, right? So look, I get these right-wing hacks. I've been dealing with them my whole life, these media guys who are all bought, they don't care. They go and find like the most disgusting people in the country, like the bottom of the barrel, and they give them money to do these

talking points, and they have an agenda, support the super rich in their tax cuts, support corporations and their deregulation. If it hurts the average American, who cares? Support endless wars. And they're all like, yes, sir, absolutely, sir. And who do you need us to destroy and smear in order to get you endless wars? Muslims, go it. We'll destroy the Muslims. Okay, now do they tell you any of the, like that whole thing about the Quran. I'm gonna go back there. Imagine being sworn in on the Quran. It's a religious text. I mean, imagine if you said, imagine being sworn in on the Bible. That's a terrible thing to say. Why isn't it terrible when it's another religion? By the way, I just looked it up just to make sure I was right. Yep, Keith Ellison, among others, was sworn into Congress on Thomas Jefferson's Quran. Thomas Jefferson had a Quran. Well, obviously he couldn't write the Declaration of Independence or be a president of the United States, could he, John? No, definitely not, definitely not. I only have one more and I know you have a video that you want to go to. But so they seem to have accepted. We can't keep saying that he was born in Egypt that turned out not to be true. But on Fox News is outnumbered. So this is a newsmax anymore. This is on Fox News. Contributor Kaylee McGee, hey, they found another Kaylee, falsely called Abdul El-Sayed a foreigner because his parents were born in Egypt. That's not what that means at all. Lots of, he's an American citizen who was born here, lived here, like that's. That's who we, like, they're so desperate to make this about identity. That is literally all that they have. But anyway, we have the video that you asked for as well. Nah, I've had enough of this racism, but I will say this. I'll end on this. Okay, so Abdul was not born in Egypt, but I was born in Turkey. I am 100% American citizen. Okay. So the fact that you're born somewhere else does not affect whether you're an American citizen or not. And so there's over, I believe there's over 30 million naturalized citizens who were born elsewhere in Ireland, Norway, Turkey, Egypt, wherever it might be, right? So they're basically spitting in their face of about 10% of Americans going, you're not real Americans because you weren't born here. Well, kiss my American ass. I'm just as American as anyone and way more American than those traders, Finnerdy and Schmidt and whatever else. that they are who think that, oh, America is about racism and hating people. No, America is about equality and justice, and that's why we love it. If you don't like America, why don't you get the hell out and move to some sort of fascist country where you'd feel a lot more at home, maybe like Israel.

I think we should probably take our first break. We got some pretty dark stuff to dive into after this. This guy, Hasan Piker. All right, guys, so let's go to comments, blind, see how that turns out. T.y.t.com, nerd Ferguson says all the conservative influencers are having near aneurysms over Abdul El-Sayed being a Senate candidate. Isn't it great? But you know, the right-wing rebels that have broken off, the Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, etc., they're out there, Thomas Massie, saying Mike Rogers is a bitch for Israel. Not all the right wingers have gone in the wrong direction. We should note that too. As the most profit, by the way, they didn't quite phrase it that way to be fair. But they're saying be wary of anyone taking money from A-PAC. And of course, Mike Rogers is a servant of Israel. Asimov's prophet says, wait, is the right-wing saying that Dearborn Michigan is a terrorist stronghold? Trump let an America's city become a terrorist stronghold while he's president. It's a good question. Shouldn't they be furious about Donald Trump then? Rebel Dragon says, wow, he's campaigning in Dearborn, Michigan. Okay, Dearborn, Michigan. Zizi, Mujan says the right wing is not lying about him being a socialist. They just don't know the definition of the word. So they say it with a scary tone or context. Always, always, always make someone define socialist, fascist, communists, et cetera, when they say one of those words. Yeah, they don't know what the hell they're talking about, but he says he is not a socialist. They're wrong, but you're right. EM, ETIP 2 says the right wing macos are panicking last week. The morons wanted Abdul El-Sayed to win because he's going to be so easy to beat. Their yellow streaks are showing. Yeah, what happened? Easy to beat? You look like you're in a goddamn panic. All right, we'll be right back.

Back on T.I.D. Jank and John with you guys. Also, cheesy fingers 79, one of my favorite handles. Thank you for gifting five memberships on YouTube. We really appreciate you guys. And also join by hitting the join button below. And Marty Mule, 1962 is a YouTube member and asked, Jank, does Anna get royalties for being featured on the new Iran Lego video? No, but I will talk about that later on. So stay right here and he pays to be a member. So we'll have fun conversations about that. Hit the join button below or t.com slash join. All right, John, what's next? Oh, no, I'm next. Here we go. I don't understand why we can't criticize even someone that you think is an ally for actions that we deem to be morally reprehensible. Like, I don't understand how you can defend the settlements in the West Bank. Like, I don't understand how you have no criticisms over their actions, over their increasingly messianic, ultra right-wing government that seems to think. Relentless war is that you can bomb people out of resistance. It's like I've never said that Israel is perfect. What I'm saying, though, that's our special ally. Oh, Israel isn't perfect. Well, we're going to show you some of the imperfections in the West Bank and what John Fetterman has absolutely no problem with. So you want to murder people, you want to attack American citizens, John Fetterman doesn't mind because he's being paid by the Israeli lobby. So John, tell us about the sick actions of the Israelis in the West Bank. Yeah, so there was another another attack. We're gonna talk about quite a bit of violence here. This was during a military, a military raid in a village in the West Bank, Termosiah is the village. IDF soldiers threw a stun grenade at an 82 year old. person is a Palestinian American named Kamis Rabi Jabara. The blast apparently caused Jabara to fall and hit his head on the ground. An 82 year old person who is obviously a great danger of any kind of fall, let alone what caused by the close proximity of an explosion of a stun grenade. So. This village, which is home to many Palestinian Americans, is also for context where Israeli forces killed a 14 year old. This is another Palestinian American, Omar Rabia, in April of last year, part of a pattern of Americans harmed by Israeli forces with little accountability. We're relying on the story from the reporting of drop site news. And so based on this history, it might not come as much of a surprise that the soldiers didn't appear to care that much about the damage that they'd done, especially after finding out that the 82 year old

was an American citizen. Take a look. I Hachal ambulance. You sleep here. Look, I speak this American citizen, you know, this coming with a visa. You know that right? Amazing, yeah. Okay, everything recording. What to do with my uncle? Okay. Okay. I told you, this is my house. Okay. Okay. In a court in USA, your picture in USA, sir. Okay? Yes. Thank you very much. My name is Danielle. Daniel. Yes. Okay. Show me your Daniel. Look, my uncle. You know how old? This year old, you see? You see here? I, the facial expression on the soldier there, didn't care. You just threw a stun grenade an 82 year old. If you found out, let's say you found out 10 years ago, I had done that dramatically changed your view of me. It'd be the worst thing I'd ever done in my life. That dude, it's He doesn't seem to care that he did it, not five minutes after. And so thank you to Zetaio, by the way, for making that video available. Again, in these sorts of situations, even with the video, far too many people won't care, but without it, forget about it. You never get them to agree to what actually happened. Now, they did go around the soldiers in that area confiscating phones to delete the footage, which is definitely what you do when you're the most moral army in the world and you never make any mistakes or whatever. This seems like the sort of imperfection, by the way, Jank, that maybe John Fetterman could at least. pretend in a podcast interview to give a damn about. But he's not going to have to. And most Western media isn't going to cover this story. Most Americans will never hear about it. Although again, this was an American citizen who was hit in this way and fell and hurt himself. And as of right now, there's no indication that there's going to be repercussions of any sort for this attack. There is one member of Congress who is pushing for an investigation. Senator Chris Van Hollen said, enough is enough. This time, an 82 year old American man has been left. bloodied and injured by the IDF and another attempt to hide evidence. This has to end. If the ambassador of Israel can't protect American citizens from this kind of violence, he needs to resign. And that, of course, would be Mike Huckabee. He hasn't made any statement on the situation. I'm not exactly holding my breath for it. But for further context, since 2022, There have been nine US citizens killed in Gaza and the West Bank, one killed in Lebanon as well. There has been so far as we can identify no accountability for the loss of any of these lives. And again, supposedly we have an America first. government in office right now that cares about protecting us cares so much they'll shred the constitution to get immigrants out of our country because that's what it takes to protect america but i guess if you're in gaza i guess if you're in the west bank i guess if a certain you know a certain countries military is the one that brutalizes you or kills you you don't deserve protection that's what it seems like jank there's two layers to this so one is the lack of humanity right it's an 82 year old i mean

have a conscience, but they don't. So he's like, yeah, we just almost killed an 82 year old. Yeah, okay. Now, John Fetterman doesn't see it though, because he's drowning in Israeli cash. So he's like, I can't see through all the Israeli money. And but the second part is, I think in a lot of ways just as enraging. He says he's an American and he laughs in his face like American. We kill Americans all the time. Who cares? You people are beneath us. There'll be no consequences. Like in the old days, if you killed an American anywhere in the world, oh boy, you're going to be in a lot of trouble. Because we have a lot of power, right or wrong, we do. And we look out for our own citizens. That's the way should be in a lot of ways. Except if you're in Israel, then they can murder you. Not one person has been arrested for the murder of those 10 Americans. The Israelis laugh in our face literally, they're like Americans, we own you. No, we can literally take your life, laugh about it on camera, and there's nothing you could do about it. Even your ambassador to our country actually works for us. Your president works for us, 94% of your Congress works for us. We get to do anything we want to you, including murder you. And there's nothing you could do about it because we're superior to you. That is their attitude. There's no question about it. And we enable that attitude by saying, of course, sir, yes, sir. Here's more American money, sir. Here's 3 billion more. Here's 13 billion more. Here's 21 billion more. Oh, you want a war, of course. Go die for Israel. 18 Americans dead in this war that we had nothing to do with. There's no reason. 600 injured. All for Israel. And any time we ask our politicians to represent Americans. They laugh in our face like the Israelis do. But there's another devastating story, John. Tell us about that. Yes. Well, this one at least has some good news attached to it, some good news coming out of the West Bank. It was reported just yesterday that Israeli prosecutors are officially bringing charges against a settler who murdered a Palestinian activist in the West Bank last year. This is the first time since October 7th that an Israeli has been indicted for killing a Palestinian. And I looked into it. It's not the first time they did that, actually. It has been many, many, many, many times. in years. Military prosecutors last brought charges over a 2019 shooting of a young man who stopped to help victims of a traffic accident. The last time civilian prosecutors brought charges was in 2018 over the killing of a mother of eight hit by a rock as she was driving. These are just devastating stories. In some cases, as with the prior victims we talked about, be reminded of and some to learn about for the first time. According to the indictment, state attorneys accused Yanon Levy, a settler who lives in an outpost in the southern West Bank. reckless manslaughter in the death of prominent Palestinian activist Aouda Hatholene in July of last year. Levy is also accused of armed trespassing and malicious property damage. Reckless manslaughter as a charge under Israeli law carries a maximum sentence of 12 years in prison.

And I believe this is one of the movies that was discussed on the show, but the activist, Hathleen, who died in this case was one of the activists involved in the film, No Other Land. And so we can give more details about the killing, but this is a rare case, Jank. I mean, we showed you literally how rare when there actually will be charges, there will be some kind of consequences. It's not over, it's the beginning of the process, but at least it's a beginning. Yeah, so I want to get a little bit more into that. First, this is an ex. Perfect example of the phrase exception proves the rule. So first arrest in three years for all these murders, and I'm going to tell you the scale of the murders in a second. But in that particular case, number one, why did they even bother arresting this guy when they never arrest anyone for murdering Palestinians? Because since he was in the movie, it was drawing more international attention. So they do a fake arrest of a guy to make it seem like, oh, yeah, we arrest people all the time. He's literally the only one. Okay, and so, and in fact, when they arrested him, they gave him three days of house arrest and then they immediately let him go. He's free right now, okay, awaiting at trial in their kangaroo courts. In that shooting though, I want to tell you a little bit more about it. So they shoot the activists, he's bleeding to death, an American nurse happens to be there, and also an Israeli-American that was there that corroborated everything I'm about to tell you. And the American nurse jumps on him trying to save his life. You can hear in the background as he's bleeding to death, the Israeli settlers and soldiers laughing. We murdered another Palestinian. It's so funny. And then what did they do? They arrested the nurse and they arrested 17 people that that settler Levi was shooting at. Wait, they arrested the victims. Of course they did, they're Israelis. The IDF is a terrorist organization. So they're like, oh, these people are innocent and we murdered one of them? Well, let's just arrest them and detain them. They came back later and arrested the victim's brothers and cousins. Why did they do something? No, they didn't do anything. But they're like, yeah, you're the brothers and cousins of the victims. So I don't know, maybe you might be upset that we murdered your brother. So we're just arresting you for no reason. You're now our hostages, along with all the witnesses. And then what did they do that American nurse? They kicked her out of the country. They're like, stupid American trying to save a Palestinian life. Don't you know you're beneath us? Get the hell out of our country. Okay? So that's what Israel does. So I mention all these murders. What do you mean? Well, here, I'll give you some facts. Israeli settlers and soldiers have killed at least 1,100 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7th of 2023. And who's that brought to you by the Israeli Rights Group Betselm? Wait a minute, that's very similar to the number killed on October 7th. And I was told by American media that October 7th was the worst thing that happened since the Holocaust. Same number of Palestinians that actually way more civilians died in the West Bank. And American media...

has barely noted it. I don't know that I've ever seen it on cable news. Because for American media, for disgusting cable news anchors like Jake Tapper, Danabash, and the others, I just use them as examples. You could fill in any name here because other than Chris Hayes, almost all of them support every disgusting Israeli action and pretend that they're the victims as they murder these people left and right. Did you see any outrage on CNN or even on MMS now? about all the Americans murdered by Israel and not a single arrest? No, because they're lowly Americans. They're not important Israelis. So all these Palestinians murdered by the settlers and by the terrorist IDF and not a peep because cable news anchors and New York Times reporters think those aren't humans. They're just Palestinians. They're just Americans. They're not important people like the Israelis. Oh my God, if the Israelis were killed. We would talk about it forever. And it would be the worst thing to Zaholok. Oh, Palis city, same number. Actually, a bigger number of civilians. Who cares? Their lives are worthless. That's what are disgusting monsters in cable news and mainstream media thing. Deeply racist bigots. Now let me explain more of the monstrous actions of the Israeli government. The Israeli human rights organization, Yashdin, found that over the past two decades, more than 93% of police investigations into Israeli offenses against Palestinians in the West Bank were closed with no charges filed. Golly, gee, you murdered a Palestinian. Look at that, we just couldn't find any way to charge you. Here's a gift, right? An American press, tell us how great Israel is. How they deserve to be murdered, lowly Palestinians, to lowly Americans, their lives are worthless, right? Why do you treat it differently? Shereen Ablaakle, is an American journalist, we showed you her picture, she's one of the ones murdered. CNN acknowledges that she was murdered by the Israelis. It was a sniper who hit her in the neck. She had a giant press, a blackjacket on, and she had a helmet on, so they had to hit her in the neck to kill her. And so that was an assassination when the Saudis killed a Washington Post columnist. You hold everyone in the mirror. How are you Saudis? You should take their money away. They're disgusting Muslim Saudis. And I agree. That was totally disgusting what they did to Jamal Khashoggi. The Israelis murder an American journalist. They're like, whatever, shut up, shut up. She's stupid American, stupid Muslim. No one cares. She's not even Israeli. Last one. By the way, guys, we are not monsters like the people on cable news. We're not paid to be this.

disgusting racist and bigots like they are, right? So are there a variety of people in Israel? Obviously, we're quoting Israeli human rights groups here. A lot of times we call, quote, the Israeli press. So don't, if all you do is hate the Israelis in return, it's not going to work. We have to break the cycle of hatred. We have to be better than them. We have to be moral, right? But I'm telling you what's happening in Israel. They've unfortunately become a fascist state. It happens to different ethnicities. All the time, it happens to the Germans and so many others, okay? It goes around the world, but right now, fascism is in Israel, but our press lies to you 24-7 to protect those fascists, and that is super weird. But this, but Selim's a great organization in Israel, and they actually care about human lives and treat everyone equally. And they say at the end of December 2025, the Israel Prison Service was holding 9,128 Palestinians in detention or in prison, in what it defined. security grounds, including 1,477 from the Gaza Strip. At the time, the IPS was also holding 2,062 Palestinians, 20 of them from the Gaza Strip for being in Israel illegally. Okay, so that 21, at least they have some modicum of reasoning for it, but over 9,000 Palestinians held hostage. They didn't do anything wrong. There are no charges. They never charged them. They just round up family members, they just round up innocent Palestinians. Our press, when Hamas took hostages, hostages. Hostages, the Israeli hostages. Okay, I'm with you. That's disgusting. I don't want those hostages to be. How about 9,000 Palestinian hostages? Oh, shut up. There's Palestinians. They're lower than dirt. Why would we care about them? They're not human. They're not Israelis. The Israelis can take any hostages they like. Palestinians. They have nothing but loathing and hatred for Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. The people who work in our national media are the very worst of us. They took like the most immoral people in the whole country and they gave them cable news shows. Now tell everybody how American lives are worthless, Palestinian lives are worthless. Every life is worthless other than Israelis. If an Israeli is killed, you guys make a giant deal about it and never shut up. If an American is killed, a Palestinian is killed. You bury it. You bury. They take 9,000 Palestinian hostages, not human. Who cares? Burry the news. Don't let anyone find out what our beloved Israel is doing. That's the sick people who work on cable news. I think we should take a break before we hit up apparently what's going on behind the scenes with Iran in our attempts of diplomacy.

All right, let's go to YouTube members. Tricia breaks 2101 says, yay, my two favorites. Thank you, Tricia. Appreciate it. Kane's rule says, I heard Abdul El-Sayed likes to skateboard on his way to the mosque. What a radical Muslim. Wait for it. That could be used as a weapon, you know. Adam Christman says, the establishment wants us all to be slaves to labor and working. This is the only country where taking a vacation or leave of absence is frowned upon. Yeah, in Europe, they... They think vacations are obvious and you, you know, et cetera. But no, no, everybody back to the minds. Carl Goss says, I realize politics is a dirty business and a lot of muscling goes on. But this is nothing but defamation. It's dangerous not only to Abdul as a candidate, but also as a human being. Yeah, yeah, they're trying to drive up hatred towards them. Nani dragons, by the way, guys, all right, anyway. Yes, some of those news. news companies are owned by utterly radical Zionists. So it's not a, oops, we accidentally were bigoted against Muslims. They drive bigotry towards Muslims on purpose so that you don't mind when Israel murders them and takes their land. Like Rupert Murdoch, the disgusting Zionist. It's one of the most evil men in my lifetime. And in Washington, they kiss his ass all the time. Oh, Rupert, oh, he's a media mogul. Deeply, deeply evil person. Jed Cousack, I love how Wright can only deal with three letters. DEI has now become DSA. Yeah, ancestral worms's corn pop was an ombre, mallow. Okay, I got to go. We'll be back. Boy, that escalated quickly. I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

All right, back on CYT, Jank and John with you guys. We've got a lot of stories, so we're gonna just jump right into the next one. So we got devastating report that Iran is not planning to negotiate a peace deal with the United States. If that is true, oh boy, buckle up, race for our impact. They're planning to wait out Donald Trump. Oh my God, that's going to take over two years. And why are they doing that? Because they believe that Trump is not serious about peace negotiations. So that all he's doing is binding his time so he could attack Iran more effectively. So they think that they're not going to allow them to do that. Now, let's find out all the facts of this and then assess for ourselves if that's right or not, because this could be monumental news, John. 100%. Now, this is coming from a new piece in responsible statecraft, which was written by a fellow at the Quincy Institute who says, in Tehran's view, a comprehensive agreement with the Trump administration is virtually unachievable. Trump either cannot deliver a durable settlement because he cannot afford its domestic political cost or he does not want to. I would just throw in or he'll make one and then go back on it as he does with every other deal he's ever made, but they're leaving that out as a possibility. Anyway, they go on to say, even if the administration wants to change course, Israel, which clear. maintains a substantial influence within Trump's inner circle, despite the recent rhetoric of Vice President JD Vance, will do what it can to disrupt it. Furthermore, the author explains why the recent memorandum of understanding before the so-called ceasefire actually ended up being hurtful for the Iranian regime. and therefore attempts to get some sort of diplomatic outcome with them. Because under the MOU, bombing stopped and the blockade was lifted despite some violations of the Lebanon ceasefire. But the promised economic incentives were never realized. So Tehran did what they said they do. They exported oil, $6 billion of it. But they were supposed to be given $12 billion in foreign assets. And they just never received that money. And so this limited, one-sided implementation of the deal hurt Iran's negotiating team at home. Think about that. If you're on this team, you get this deal. We go into it for weeks and weeks and weeks. Iran does a good portion of what they said they would, and we just don't give them the money. Maybe because Donald Trump knows that if it's reported that he does hand over the money, right-wing media is going to be angry at him. And we're obviously going to laugh at them too, considering how much he criticized Barack Obama for that exact same thing. And so they didn't get what they said they would get. So why would the regime trust the negotiators?

for whatever deal they would make next, it's already been proven that Donald Trump and the Americans are not gonna make good on their promises. And reportedly, Iranian leadership is still concerned that the United States could cripple Iran if it bombed enough civilian infrastructure, which Donald Trump threatens a couple times a week. But they also believe that any pauses in the war will overwhelmingly favor the US and Israel, perhaps allowing them to rearm, get back the missile stockpiles and stuff like that. So seeking to break the deadlock, Tehran has thus adopted a strategy of managed confrontation, a form of active deterrence to raise the cost for the United States. So not all out war, but occasionally having an attack, occasionally hitting a boat, those sorts of things. And in the meantime, Iran believes that it can withstand any economic damage that the US and Israel attempts to inflict on it. And they're betting that Trump will instead be forced to withdraw from the war, thanks to his rapidly declining poll numbers. But as of right now, the Iranians are still very much suffering, especially the civilians, who the regime obviously doesn't care much about. But this is all the more reason, Jank, to believe that, I don't know, any kind of end of this. could be a long time in coming and our initial descriptions of it as a forever war or feeling more and more accurate with every passing day. Yeah, it's terrible news. So look, you got to go to a place like responsible statecraft to get real news because American media is so terrible. I mean, they. They only give you the Pentagon's version, which is obviously propaganda. Like, okay, I get it. You report the American talking points. You report the Iranian talking points, and then try to figure out what's actually happening, right? So, so in this case. I couldn't be more against this. So I want Duranians to negotiate for peace. It's not on me to determine who wins those negotiations, what Iran gets, what America gets. I have an excellent sense of what would be fair. I think I've stated on the show many times. They get rid of their nuclear weapons program, which they never had anyway. So they lose nothing from that and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which is what the case was before the war. But in return, we have to actually leave. And we have to actually do our end of the deal. But we've learned from the Israelis, just lie, never do a deal. So now the Iranians are saying, well, look. You've already murdered our peace negotiators before. You murdered all of our top leaders. You never listened to a ceasefire. So now you want me to listen to your ceasefires, which allows you to reload. And then I'm going to wait for you to reload and then attack me again. That's what Israel does every time. And now, unfortunately, that's what America is doing. So no, we're not going to do that. Now, I hate that they've reached that conclusion. I'm desperate to get the peace. But if this is right, then...

then we're not going to be able to get there. And so then look, Trump keeps saying, oh, we're, you know, days away from a deal. Scott Bessent said it in the beginning of the week. Here we are at the end of the week. CNBC has an article today like, well, you know, Guy Benson and Trump seems to, you know, have lied every single time when they say we're about to get it at peace deal. But the market still believe them. Pop quiz. What's in your kids' lunchbox? At Whole Foods Market, they've already done the studying. Over 300 food ingredients are banned from their shelves, no hydrated fats in the peanut butter, and no high-fructose corn syrup in the cookies. And for sandwiches, there are no synthetic nitrates or nitrites in any of their deli meat. So you can pack lunchboxes with peace of mind. Get back to school ready at Whole Foods Market. Why? Why do you believe them if they lie every single time? Well, the Iranians now are saying we don't believe them. But our markets are like, ah yeah, tell the truth. No, he's not telling the truth. There's no imminent peace deal. I mean, how many times he said it dozens of times? He said, by the way, this is guaranteed. Iran is talking to Oman, and I hope something comes out of that. I hope this story, because there's different factions in Iran, while being accurate, could still speak for only one faction, and they could change their minds. There's a lot of things that could happen, right? Well, one thing is absolutely for sure, which is that. When Trump says Iran called them and begged them to go back to negotiating, that's utter lie. It's just 100% fabrication. Iran is not calling Trump, let alone pleading. In fact, our problem is that Iran now thinks that since we're never going to actually do a peace deal or abide by a peace deal, they're not even bothering largely. And they're preparing for more war.

It's like disheartening to see our president be this buffoon who's just constantly waffling back and forth like a like a literal lunatic. I'm gonna kill them all. We're about to do a peace deal any day now. I'm gonna murder. their civilization. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, they're begging me to do a piece. It's gonna happen in 30 minutes. Everybody's like, oh, 30 minutes. The market's like, oh, 30 minutes. Okay. And then it never happens. No, no, no. And then Trump says it again. They believe him again. So we have a raving lunatic for a leader. And the Iranians have concluded, since you picked someone out of a mental asylum to be your president, we can't trust any word he says. So there's no point in the negotiations. So John, we're screwed, man. Yeah, it really does feel like that. And so they're assuming, you know, I don't know, the polling is going to keep going down. That's going to maybe make Donald Trump more, you know, desperate or something. And that's, I think, the way that it should go. And certainly the war is very unpopular. I've also noticed, though, over the past couple of months, the polling specifically on the Iran war doesn't seem to be going down that much more. And I think part of it is. Maybe fatigue people are following it closely for, you know, the first three or four months, but now it's sort of dragging on. It's possible that because it's coming like the costs of the war to us are mostly economic and not, you know, new coffins being shipped across, you know, back to America every couple of weeks. It feels. Less bad, I don't know. Like that makes me a little bit worried about, you know, maybe Donald Trump sees little cost to continuing the war for a really long time. If the polling doesn't seem to be directly translating in the midterms, or not that it doesn't, but maybe he thinks that most of the damage it'll do to him or the Republicans is kind of already baked in at this point. Yeah, so along those lines, John, I think that I should explain to people why I keep mentioning the markets. Because, you know, we're often talking about stock market. It's mainly rich folks' money, like 90% of the markets, like from the top 10%, etc. But that is exactly why I'm mentioning it. Because Donald Trump doesn't care about you. He literally says it. He says, I don't care about the prices. I don't care about how, I'm glad housing prices are up, right? Gas price doesn't bother me. He doesn't care about you at all, right? But he does care about the markets and the people in power care about the markets because that's where their money is. That's why I keep telling you, as long as the markets are at a record number, they're not gonna change anything. If the markets crashed, then all of a sudden Trump and all the billionaires would be in a panic, and they'd be like, you gotta fix this war right away, okay? I lost $13 in the market, my money. Then they'd be like super worried. But since the markets keep going up like idiots,

Trump's like, oh, everything's great. I'll just keep dragging this out. We'll reload and then we'll hit him again. And then I'll tell all the idiots in the markets. Oh, yeah, the war's over any day now. I've been lying to them for six straight months and the morons haven't figured it out. So as long as the market doesn't go down, Trump is not going to change any of this. And we're going to stay in this war forever. Yeah, I mean, as always, there's a lot of money to be made for military contractors and that sort of thing. And he's already getting, you know, he's obviously getting a lot of pressure from another country to stay in it. So there's just a lot of, a lot of forces that all seem to be pushing towards this lasting a really long time. Yeah. All right, guys, even though we're out of time, I'm gonna do squeeze one more story in here because I care a lot about it. So Republican representative from Tennessee, Andy Ogles, is a terrible person. I wanna show you why he's awful and some of the terrible things that he said. But a shocking turn of events, he just lost in a Republican primary. What in the world is going on here? John tell us about it. It's pretty fascinating, bad year for incumbents. And so Representative Andy Ogles in this particular case, not only was the incumbent, but had also been endorsed by Donald Trump just a few hours before the polls closed. President Trump posted on True Social the morning of the election. Congressman Andy Ogles is doing a fantastic job representing that they're incredible people. He's a conservative warrior who is a strong support from his community. In Congress, he is fighting tirelessly to grow our economy, cut taxes and regulation, promote made in the USA, American energy, blah, blah, blah, safeguard election, lots of stuff with guns, just various ways guns are used on people and people are shot. Andy Ogles, my complete and total endorsement for reelection. It's not a complete sentence, but it is an endorsement. Election day for the Republican primaries today, get out and vote for Andy. He will never let you down. I guess he let Trump down though because he lost. He's not going to be moving on. So Trump had endorsed Andy Ogles. The guy who beat him had a lot of other endorsements. So it's not like he was some random nobody or anything. But Donald Trump doesn't want you to believe that they should reflect too poorly on him. So he went on to say last night was another good night for endorsements, eight to one. And the one was a person who I remained loyal to even though he had virtually no chance of winning. By the way, I looked, Jake, at the most recent poll. Before the election, do you know how much Andy Oval's was down by with virtually no chance of winning? How much he was down by? Can you guess? I'm going to guess three. Four, actually he was down by four points. And apparently Trump's endorsement isn't worth four points. Anyway, and also the other guy was a great Trump candidate. So I guess Trump wins either way. And that's Charlie Hatcher, who now has Trump's complete and total endorsement two days later. And that's a very bold move from Trump endorsing the Republican.

in a general election. Whoa, great job, Trump. Anyway, Andy Ogles had been in the district, he'd been elected to the district since 2023. During that time, he generated not necessarily much productive legislation or anything, but a lot of controversies. He once tweeted, Muslims don't belong in American society. Pluralism is a lie. He also said gay people have no place in America. He tweeted homosexuality has no place in America. Now interestingly, he did take down that one after blaming a staffer. I do not believe that he took down the Muslim ones. So I guess you can be shamed for your homophobia, but not for Islamophobia. We've just learned something new today. But as I alluded to earlier, this has been a rough election cycle for incumbents, even just this week. So on the Republican side, Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, Dan Crenshaw, Tony Gonzalez, and Thomas Massie have all lost their primaries. And even more Democrats, some of whom just had their reelection bids. this week. And so, yeah, they're clean in house to some extent, Jank. What do you think? Yeah. So first of all, you know, Ogil says Muslims and homosexuals don't belong in America. And then the voters just said, well, we think you don't belong in Congress. So out of boy voters. And those are Republicans in Tennessee who said, we don't want this guy. So that's a wonderful development. Okay, and he had a lot of other problems too. You're gonna be shocked to find out that he had campaign finance issues. Really? He sounds like such a moral guy. I'm so surprised by that. So yes, please stop picking guys who are terrible and you did, okay? And so if the other Republican in the race, by the way, has a much better chance of winning. So that was also smart on their part. So I always give credit where credit is due so. Credit in that case, the Republican primary voters. Now credit to all of the voters in the country, because we ask you to take out incumbents because the incumbents have a lot of. what mainstream media calls wonderful experience, they have experiencing corruption. They have experience in taking corporate PAC money, foreign government money, and serving corporations and foreign governments. They're almost all guilty, 95% of them take... all that money in politics and totally betray you. So way to throw the bums out. Now some of those incumbents that lost are not connected to the movement to throw the bombs out, but some are Dan Crenshaw, Andy Ogles on the right suffered that fate for sure. Like Thomas Massie lost, but the bad guys got Thomas Massie, you know, 32 million spent against them, at least 16 million from the Israeli lobby.

And then on the Democratic side, you know, I think Al Green is a good guy. You could disagree about his politics, but he wasn't throwing out because he's a bad incumbent. But the rest of them were incumbents, the Democratic voters were like, no. No, if you're gonna keep telling us that you love and are gonna loyally serve Israel when 80% of us are against Israel, we're not gonna put you back in. If you tell us that you're gonna serve corporate packs when we can't afford housing or even food or gas, no, you're not going back in, okay? There you go, guys. So proud of the voters to begin this revolution, throw out the bums, throughout all the incumbents who have been betraying you the entire time, do not represent you at all. So Andy Ogles happen to be a particularly vile person, but really none of them care about you. And so get in there, especially in now the primaries are almost over in 2026. So I say especially in 2028. And this is a good beginning, but. I hope does the tip of the iceberg and I hope that we address the entire iceberg in 2028. I hope hundreds of incumbents lose. They're all corrupt. And I say what I say all, I'm talking about the guys taking corporate pack money and foreign government money. And that's why that's about 95% of Congress. So unless you know your congressperson is clean, do like they did in Tennessee. Throw the bum out. Okay, John, thank you, brother. Appreciate it. Everybody check out Damage Report 1 o'clock Eastern Monday through Friday. Absolutely fantastic show. And the, and you're not only do you get Johnny, you get the Dragon Squad there. All right, when we come back, Laura Lumer is trying to become the head of Department of Homeland Security. She says her first priority is to throw me out of the country. Not joking, not exaggerating, literally what she said. Does she have any chance? Not sure. And by the way, the economy is taking a downturn. The market celebrated by going up. Not joking either. We'll tell you when we come back. What contributions to the progressive cause are you most proud of? Um, I mean, I don't have super high aspirations for a singular role that I can play in the movement or anything. I just, I try to present myself as what I think that I am, which is. a progressive man who is driven by a, I think, well-interrogated and well-organized system of values that I try to stay consistent on, and I demonstrate that that's the sort of life that a person can lead. And be successful and be happy and all of that. And that should not need to be done, but there are so many people on the right that are trying to push men in the opposite direction that I want to be able to do that. Along the way, if I can get people to care about some topics that not that they wouldn't necessarily care about, or that for some men might.

They might think that's not a topic that they should be focused on. That's definitely something that I relish doing. And along the way, I mean, we've been able to introduce people to a lot of candidates. That's been a big part of what we've done. You know, not all of them necessarily got in office. Probably most of them did not. And a lot of them, you might not even remember their names. But it was great to be able to provide people the platform where they had the chance of, you know. making a difference. Obviously, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and all that. But there's been a lot of great people along the way. Adobe Firefly is the all-in-one creative studio with AI-powered image and video editing for today's creative process.

A lot of the shows that I live on, you know, my CNN and my MSNBC and even Fox and any of the other shows, NPR. They are so quick to decide that they know what this building means today. The one thing that I hate that politicians do, you know, they... Talk about the people they should be talking to. Do they have any idea that they're their establishment and that they're hated? Or do they not realize that at all? People are so deeply in their little universe. I think it's very easy to not really question what you're doing.

All right, welcome back to the Young Church, Jane Huger and Dr. Elliot Morgan with you guys. Good to have you in the house. Apparently the doctor makes house calls. Yeah, okay. You seem a little sick, so. Well, if you watch the first hour that you might, there's a reason why you might get that in a present. All right, so let's, we got a lot to get, so let's do the next story. Okay, well, There we go, okay. We got bad news for you guys. We lost a lot of jobs today, plenty of bad economic news. And so obviously the market celebrated. Wait, what? Okay, so Ellis gonna tell you all the bad news and then I'm gonna tell you why the market celebrated. Go ahead out. Yeah, so the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that in July, the U.S. economy lost 23,000 jobs. That number is for non-farm payrolls and comes alongside a drop of 53,000 government jobs, a slower than normal growth in health care, and a softness in retail, leisure, and hospitality. Now, if you're thinking that last part makes sense because it doesn't seem like these days a lot of people can afford leisure, you would be correct because The Bureau also noted that worker pay was nearly flat in July. The 23,000 jobs lost in July is also worse than June's downwardly revised 20,000 jobs. The Dow Jay Jones consensus forecast had been looking for a gain of 83,000. At the same time, the unemployment slipped to 4.1% as the labor force participation rate fell further to 61.4% its lowest in more than five years, another indication that fewer Americans were working or looking. for jobs. In addition to the weak numbers for June and July, the final count for May was revised down to 63,000 or 66,000 lower than the prior estimate. The revised numbers brought the 12-month average down to just 34,000. So it's not all bad news, it's just mostly bad news because private payrolls went up this month by 30,000 and construction jobs increased by 22,000. Also, the 40,000 leisure and hospital. hospitality jobs that were lost could potentially simply be due to the fact that the World Cup ended. That said, here is a quick snapshot of monthly job creation going all the way back to 2022. 2022, of course, was when many people were going back into the workforce after COVID. And also, in case anybody forgot, 2025 was also when Donald Trump entered the workforce again, aka the White House. But having a job and being able to pay your your bills with that job are two very different things. So here is another snapshot that shows average hourly earnings going back to 2022. That doesn't look good at me. Doesn't look good, right? It's supposed to go. I think it's supposed to go the other way. I could be wrong, but I don't know, it looks a little terrifying. I should also add that almost every article about this story, about these 23,000 jobs that were lost, used the term unexpected, but was it actually unexpected? Thankfully, though, we have Kevin Hassett, the director of the National Economic Council, who went on Fox News to tell us that actually all of this is really good news.

Kevin Hassett, National Economic Council Director. Sir, good day to you and thank you for coming back here. Great to be here. Just give me, how do you read it? Strength, weakness, go. Yeah, so the strength is what we've seen before, construction workers, manufacturing workers and so on. The weakness in this number were really just two things, government workers and a sort of rebound from all the employment we got from the World Cup because the World Cup was ending. As if you throw out the World Cup of the government workers, we actually had a number that was about plus 100,000. Okay, well, there you have it. There's nothing to worry about it. If you just ignore all of the lost jobs, there's actually a lot of jobs. Like if I ignore the millions of dollars I don't have, I'm actually kind of a... A multi-millionaire, and that's the kind of math ain't mathin that we've come to expect from Trump's top economic advisor, who is the same guy who said recently that the American economy is doing great because Americans are putting so much on credit cards. He also said even more recently that if you put a data center in a sleepy town, there's going to be a whole lot of happy residents there. So, Jake, this guy has been making the rounds trying his best to explain how this is all actually good. In fact, there were some snow days and that extended the school year, which means that a lot of the teachers lost their jobs in July rather than June, even though I didn't know teachers were fired during the summer. And then of course, there's the World Cup thing. And he also mentioned that, well, now since the border so secure, there's not as many illegals flooding into the country. But I thought the whole point was that the illegals were taking our jobs. So I'm a little confused here. What are your thoughts? I think that another reason why the numbers are down is because the dog ate their jobs. And so that's, and to be fair, you know, the dog is full now and he's not gonna eat your jobs anymore. Okay, so look, I'm gonna needlessly dispel what he said. Of course, Elliot's right. If you count, if you don't count the jobs that were lost, we gain jobs. Well, we count them together for a reason, okay? But secondly, he's also discounting that the jobs that were gained were supposed to be much larger gains. That's why everybody's like, this is unexpected, right? So in fact, in all the industries, the numbers came in lower than was expected. So but then that leads you to the question of wait, why did they have such wrong expectations? Because these days, escape mental patients work on Wall Street. So no matter what happens, their answer is bye. Bye, buy, bye, all right? And so you're like, okay, Trump's like, oh yeah, we're gonna do a peace deal.

tomorrow or two days from now. They're like, up to buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. And then there is no peace deal a day or two days later or two weeks later or two months later. But Trump comes out every couple of days. It goes out, even though the oil markets look like they should be a disaster, don't worry, don't react based on the realities on the ground because there's going to be a peace deal in two days. And they're like, great, peace deal in two days, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, right? So remember when Pam Bondi said, The Dow's over 50,000. About the Epstein files and why you shouldn't worry, the Dow is now over 53,000. The other day it hit over 54,000. These lunatics keep buying no matter what happens. So why did they buy today? Because the market went up after the bad news. Because they're like, oh, that's actually good news. Because if the economy is slowing down, then the Fed might not raise interest rates. And we're worried about the Fed raising interest rates because of creeping inflation. Wait, do you hear yourself? So now we're going to have creeping inflation plus unemployment. That's called stagflation and the worst possible scenario. So their reaction was, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, right? And soon the whole market's gonna go, bye, bye, bye, but they're never gonna wake up until the crash. Look guys, we covered this earlier, it's not just us saying it, some of the top experts in the world, some of the top investors in the world, Ray Dalio, one of the wealthiest men alive, one of the greatest investors in history, he's like, what are we doing? It's an obvious bubble. And when it pops, it's gonna be a disaster, right? And Wall Street's reaction, they're like, what would he? Yeah, he would know a thing or two. And they're like, oh, that's a good point. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. And so that's what they did today. So unemployment goes down, great. Oh, by the way, the one thing they don't care about, Elliot, the wages. In fact, they're like, oh, wages are going down for the average American. That means costs are going down for corporations. That's actually good news. Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy. And so they literally celebrate when your wages go down. It's also, I mean, I love the fact that you said the dog ate all the jobs because that's another excuse that has it used where he said it was Doge that's how the government jobs were lost. It's like, are we still doing that in July? We lost that many jobs from Doge? Okay, fair enough. And also, yeah, like you're saying, the inflation going up and jobs going down is catastrophic. And I love the fact that this guy goes on TV and comes up with all of these asinine excuses and expects people to buy it while smiling and being like, oh yeah, no, it's nothing to worry about. Don't worry about it. I just ignore. the stuff I don't like. And I just look at this one particular metric and I go from there. Really incredible stuff from the guy who is again Trump's top economic advisor.

Yeah, last two quick things. I think the smile has to do with like the attitude of Wall Street. They're all like, they almost all look like the joker now. Like, we're buying. We're buying when the numbers go down and when the numbers go off. Inflation's up, we're buying. Unemployment's up for buying. So they said it has to, they're like, oh, that guy looks just like us. And then they need just the flimsyest of excuses. Oh, why did we lose jobs? Soccer. And they're like, oh yeah, that's totally true. Yeah, it's obviously because of soccer. You know what we should do? Buy, buy, buy, buy. Also, what jobs did these folks have before the World Cup? So they were like employed and then they just seamlessly transitioned to- We only hired hobos for the to run the World Cup and then- Good for us. Absurd. Very progressive. All right, guys, we're gonna take a quick break here. When we come back, So we got Trump with a hilarious excuse. So apparently we're having fun on the second hour. So why are the numbers going down? Well, it's definitely not him, but whose fault is it? Let's find out when we were doing. The Dow is over $50,000. I don't know why you're laughing. You wouldn't be high by any chance, would you?

All right, let's go to Super Chat, make it make sense, says I love what you guys do at TYT. Thank you for calling out problems. Unlike mainstream media, who will shame us for noticing the problems. Thank you for giving us a platform where we can freely discuss solutions. TGIF boys. Thank you, brother. I appreciate it. And you know, he's a little bit more on the conservative side. But I love that we got a community now where we talk things out. We don't shame each other and we have conversations. And we shame the people who deserve shaming that are in power, right? And we reserve kindness and generosity for each other. And so, and yeah, I mean, the reporters of mainstream media are like, if you notice what Israel is doing. That's not the problem. You're the problem for noticing. In fact, I've seen people say if you use the word notice that you're a Nazi. Oh my God. Like there's no end to their madness. No end. Okay, James Kelly. He did an ad with his grandparents and it was great. I assume you're referring to Zohran Mamdani. I'm sorry, Abdul. What am I, newsmax anchor? But I got to check that out because I haven't seen it. Timothy one YouTube member says they've targeted hundreds of journalists and no one but Jen covers it. Thank you brother. There's a couple other shows online and good progressive shows that cover it. And certainly drop site news. There's a brilliant job with it. But yes, mainstream media is like, oh, Israel murdered hundreds of journalists. They're not Saudi Arabia. If Saudi Arabia murders won, it's the biggest deal in the world. Israel murders 240. They're worthless. Mark Jacobs says, vote blue no matter who does not apply to outsider or populist candidates. So crazy the establishment would want a Republican to win. Yeah, they don't mind. corporate, Republican, corporate, Democrat, they're perfectly happy.

Maga voters are abandoning Trump by the buckets. It's not just independence, it's not just the average Americans, but his own voters are starting to leave the house. Donald Trump has an excellent way of dealing with that. You just deny it. But who he blamed is interesting. So Elliot, tell us about it. Yeah, all right. So first, let's go through the numbers with Harry Enten. What's going on is simple, is the MAGA movement was built. among the working class, non-college Americans, and take a look at this trend line that we're looking at in the data. Here we go. Okay, net favorability rating, the MAGA movement, non-college. Back in October of 2024, look at that. On the plus side of ledger, positive, plus six points. Down we go into the Atlantic Ocean. Now, look at this movement. Now minus 22 points, non-college voters on Trump. Hello. Okay, in the 2024 election, he won him by 13 points, right? That was the reason he won. He won among non-college voters, a very strong performance amongst them. And that, of course, was the reason he was able to win because college voters were against him. But look at this now, minus 19 points, minus 19 points. We're talking around even bigger shift to you. And folks, you're not going to believe it, but Trump is pretending that none of this is his fault. It's never happened before. In an interview with Punch Bowl News, he said, they're angry at Republicans, but they're not angry at me. They're not angry at me. But they're angry at Republicans. I would have believed him if he'd repeated that one more time. But here's even more cope where that came from. The biggest issue for Republicans this year, that Trump himself is not on the ballot, he said. If I don't run, will those people go out and vote? And that's the one thing I can't tell. I'm going to ask him to, he said. So here's Enten with even more.

I mean, you could just see it here, how voters are feeling. 43% of them in an average of polls are choosing the Republicans for the House. The Republicans for the House are outrunning President Trump. His approval rating is just 37% in an average of polls. They're outrunning them by six points. Among independents, the spreads even wider. I have it as a little nugget down there. The House Republicans are outrunning Donald Trump by nine points, although they're both doing poorly. But the bottom line is this. When Donald Trump says that voters are angry at Republicans, not him, That simply put, is not the case looking at the data. And in fact, when it comes to what voters want to see members doing vis-a-vis Donald Trump, what is it? What do they want them to do? I mean, it's just really clear here. Take a look here. Voters who want congressional Republicans to do more to stand up to Trump or work with Trump. 56% say more to stand up to Trump. So I am clinically not allowed to diagnose people without actually talking to him. But for some reason, the words clinical narcissists do pop into my mind. But Jake, what do you make of all this? Is this Trump that is getting blamed or is it just the Republicans? I mean, come on guys. I mean, so Elliot, well, I'm never going to stop being amazed by this because, look, I'm the guy who said that a big portion of his base would break off and everybody thought I was nuts. And that happened, that's beautiful. But that's not why I bring it up. I bring it up because I'm amazed at the portion that's still there. Like about two thirds are still like nailed it. Yeah, no, no, I'm upset at Republicans. And Trump says he doesn't know why. You don't know why, because gas prices are up and you said they'd go down, right? All the inflation's up when you said it'd go down. Now jobs are down. You've got 18 guys in caskets because of that dumb war you started. Now you're begging for $67 billion more. It's cost us an endless amount of money, 600 injured. And you're not doing a single thing for Americans. The only thing you're doing is wars for Israel. And you can't piece that together. But what, like, so they're, and how could they be upset at Republicans for all that? But not at you when you're the one who did all that. So you see, he's just his ability to lie with no conscience is legendary. I'll give him that. Yeah, it's really incredible. It reminds me, I'm gonna butcher this, I think it was George Carlin. I was like, imagine someone of average intelligence and then remember that half of the rest of the nation is dumber than that. So I think maybe some folks who are like really leaning into this might be in that, that dumber category. Also, the rest of the Republican Party is aware that they cannot sell their voters on their unpopular policies. And so they have hatched a brand new plan, which is to fearmonger. about the DSA. Here's what's lined up for the upcoming first ever GOP midterm convention. With President Trump's approval rating in the 30s and his war in Iran weighing on the economy, Republicans don't want the November 3rd midterms to be just a referendum on his presidency. They're essentially planning a

but their worst campaign, targeting the ascendant Democratic left and socialism. GOP operatives spent months compiling footage of Democratic figures, including left-wing commentator Hasan Piker and Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico that they'll use throughout the convention to paint Democrats is outside the mainstream. Quote, our video trove is endless, a convention source told Axios. Abdul El-Sayed is reportedly going to be the focus of that video trove. I, for one, from a strategic perspective. I hope they continue down this line of thought because as I recall a lot of the Democratic establishment has also relied for the past 10 years on the classic but their worst strategy and it hasn't worked out well for them. So maybe that'll be the same with the Republicans. But Jake, what do you make of this? They're gonna accidentally make Hasan Piker a president because this is what the Democrats did did to Trump and he got elected twice. Right? Democrats are like, oh, no, no, we're not gonna do anything. And we're total losers. And we're gonna lie to you and pretend we have all these policies. But once we're in power, we're not gonna do any of them. Then we're gonna do all sorts of propaganda, declare Joe Biden to be the next FDR. And we're gonna have everybody go out there and say he's like God's gift of humanity. And even though he can't speak and he's obviously seen how, we're just gonna do a lot of propaganda around him. So now the Republicans are like, great idea, okay? So we'll say Donald Trump has done nothing wrong at all. And it's all the Democrats and you should hate them. And why should you hate the Democrats? I'm gonna take one streamer and I'm gonna say that he represents the entire Democratic Party, even though he's, look, some of the candidates he's backed as one, which I'm happy about. But on the spectrum of Democratic voters, Haas's. pretty much on the most extreme left, right? And I don't say that as an insult, I'm just telling you where he is, right? And so they then do the same thing. And by the way, sometimes we on the left do this too. Take the most extreme right wing guy and make it seem like he represents every Republican voter. So they're doing the same thing. Take the most extreme guy, you know, and he, by the way, most of his positions are not at all extreme. Universal health care, paid family leave, all the positions that standard Democrats have that are incredibly popular. But he does have some positions that are. radical and then they say, okay, that's all the Democrats. But guys, it's a bad strategy. So it didn't work for the Democrats, it's not gonna work for the Republicans. Yeah, sure, they've done that for many, many years. And the one advantage that the Republicans have, But to be fair, the Democrats had this too. So like the Democrats covered for, the mainstream media covered for Joe Biden. Now why did, and in this case, they'll cover for the Republicans. Why will they do that? I thought they were liberal media. No, they love attacking anyone who isn't in favor of Israel. So they're like, oh, Abdul El-Sayed will cut funding to Israel. Well, let's destroy him. How can we destroy him? Oh, they're Hasan Piker. Okay, great. So CNN is doing the same exact strategy as the Republicans are. They try to attack Abdulazid on all the Democratic progressives and outsiders to help destroy any opponent of Israel, right? So, but mainstream media helping Joe Biden and the Democrats didn't work either. I don't think this is going to work, right? And so in order to win.

You should do something radical. You ready? Propose things that are actually positive for the average American voter and then do them. I know. That's so radical that nobody in Democratic or Republican leadership has thought of that. The Republicans are like, what do you mean? We'll start endless wars and do tax cuts for the rich. Those are deeply unpopular positions. And the Democrats are like, all right, we'll get in mesh in the culture wars. And we won't even do the most popular things in the world, like raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, universal health care. I mean, Jesus, the public option. All of these poll at 67% are higher. And they're like, oh, no, our donors don't want that. So this is all just marketing to cover up that both the corporate Republicans and the corporate Democrats are the unit party. And they are backed by mainstream media. That's your collective establishment. And their job is to screw you. So the new strategy is let's screw them by distracting you with something a streamer said. Wow. Who cares what a streamer said? And last thing, Elliot, so we're told by not just the Republican Party, but again, all of cable news, the most important thing is guilt by association. If Abdul El-Sayed ever sat next to Hasan Piker, campaigned with Hasan Piker, that's it. No, they are the same exact thing, and they have to be limited. Kamala Harris campaigned with Dick Cheney. Dick Cheney started a war that caused the hundreds of thousands of people that died. He brought torture back. He spied it on Americans, and he was at an approval rating of 9% when he left office. He's a war criminal. And the media's like, no, I don't see it. In fact, they were like, bravo, way to campaign with Dick Cheney and Liz Cheney. How so? A bipartisan. Oh, he's a torture or war criminal had murdered hundreds of thousands. Oh, yes. Did you hear what a streamer said, though? Like, did he, did he get anybody killed? No, no, but he said something naughty. Okay, and by the way, also the mainstream media, the Republicans are up Benjamin Netanyahu's ass, right? That's basically that's our headquarters, right? They pop out every once in a while and they go, oh, Israel war, yay, right? And mainstream media is like, oh, you're best friends with another war criminal, like murdered 23,000 children in Gaza. Bravo! right but did you see what that streamer said and that's how you know they're fraudulent Yeah, and also, I mean, in defense too of the Republicans, earlier this week, Senator Tommy Tuberville was on Fox Business, and they were talking about exactly what you were saying of how come the Republican Party isn't offering anything a working class people. And Tommy Tuberville did agree and did say, hey, you know what, we should do maybe one or two things for them prior to the midterm so we don't get totally creamed. So I think that's kind of funny that it's at least one idea that they have, maybe do something, throw them some cake or something. But also the whole strategy, in addition to X.

the Democrats in the last presidential election. I don't think it's gonna work here. A, they're taking a strategy from like Cold War era propaganda. But in addition to that, when the people you're going after are Abdul El-Sayed and Hasan Piker and Zohran Mamdani, another thing that they all have in common is that they're kind of charming. and they're kind of funny and they're charismatic. And so I don't know how well it's gonna work when you're trying to scare your constituents to constantly point to them and be like, these are the people you need to worry about when you're talking about people who just look very nice and seem very nice. So that Tommy Tuberville example you gave is hilarious because- It's incredible. It takes someone to suggest to him, hey, did you ever consider doing something for their American people? He's like, oh, right. I knew we were forgetting something. Yeah, you know what? We should pretend to do something right before the election. We'll think of something. That's amazing. Well, thank you for the confession. We appreciate it. Vote out all the bombs. The incumbents are the ones screwing you in both parties. Bring in new people like Abdul El-Sayed. And by the way, again, we're fair show in America. The Republicans just throughout Andy Ogles in Tennessee, who was a despicable guy. So voters, Republican voters in Tennessee, nice job on that, okay? So both sides, throughout the bombs. Get the outsiders. The media hates the outsiders. That's how you know the outsiders are right, because the media represents the insiders that have been robbing us blind this whole time. All right, so let's take another break when we come back. Maga's turned on Markwayne Mullin. Why don't they like Wayne Groll anymore? And then Laura Lumer's trying to take his job. And as part of that effort, she says the first thing she'd do is deport me. Fun. We'll be right back. This guy, Hasan Piker. All right, back on TYT. J.B 49 writes, and Trump is not just doing wars for Israel, Jane. He's literally handing over all the private and public sector institutions to Israel. Yep, certainly the merging of our military technology and data is disastrous. And so, because Israel just didn't get enough from us. Micah Rosamila says, Israel could assassinate an American, non-American soul, and our own government would let them. Could? If Israel invaded Boston, Mike Huckabee would say they should take it all.

He probably would, there's nothing that Israel could do. Like they can on camera and then you know slap Mike Huckabee across the face and Mike Huckabee would go, take it all. You did now hit my left cheek. Of course and he'd bowed down and start licking his boots. That guy sickens me. What a disgusting person Mike Huckabee is. That's like your whole job is to grovel to another country. When you're pretending to represent our country. What a sick trader. Kevin Shea says, without identity politics, the right has no platform for average citizens. They don't want to raise the minimum wage, paid family leave, single payer, health care, other than tax cuts for the rich. So that's certainly true of Republican politicians. And unfortunately, a lot of folks on the Republican side have been convinced of that. The age of mouth 17 says on Twitch, 61 months. with my TYT family. I can't believe it's been more than five years now. Thank you, Jenk, John, Anna, J. R. Yasmin, Sharon, Snacksson, Jim Jordan, and everyone behind the scenes. I love you. All and most of all, I love the foundation of honesty this platform is built upon. Keep up to amazing work. Thank you. We appreciate you. And our guy says, Elliot's sarcasm is beginning to rival Johns. You're here. We're back.

Back on TYT, we have been telling you about how they're flipping out over Abdullah Said's victory. You can celebrate it by buying the APAC tears mug on shopty.com, so that's fun. By the way, if you want to just help the show, hit the ring the bell on YouTube. It helps you track the show and when we're live, et cetera. So we appreciate it, guys. All right, let's go to the next story. Listen, we haven't had actual immigration reform since 1959. There's a reason. It's political. Anything that becomes political, everybody in this room is political. We understand that. When it becomes political and becomes a red issue, a blue issue, it means it's dead. Is immigration reform possible? No. Do you really need immigration reform? Yes, you do. But can we work with this system we have? Yes. Now what's left of MAGA says he should be fired for that. Wait, what did he say? He said we need immigration reform. They're like, boom. Some are now calling him Markwayne Mullin instead of Markwayne Mullin. That's the secretary for DHS, but he might not be for long. Laura Luma apparently wants his job and she has promised to do something to me and Hasan Piker if she went. So you'll find out all about that from Elliot. Yeah, we should not get it twisted here. Markwayne Mullin is definitely a Republican hardliner when it comes to certain aspects of his job. He defended, for example, the ICE agent that killed Renee Good. He opposes birthright citizenship and he even called to pull customs agents out of Sanctuary City airports. But he changed his tune a little bit during the National Governors Association meeting last week, making a distinction between legal and illegal immigration. There's a legal system to go through. But if you choose not to even begin or not to change your status, even if you've been here 25 years, I can't help you for that, right? If you have a status change and you're working in your status change, so you overstate your visa, but you're going through the system to change your status because you got married and you've been married to a yes citizen for four years and you're going through the family visa system. You have no criminal history. You get picked up and you're in the court system and you've been showing up your court dates, you're going to be released. You may get picked up, may be detained, may go through that process, but you're going to get released because you've been showing up, you've been going to your court system, your status is changing. If you haven't done anything, Or you have a criminal background, if you have a criminal background are not making exceptions for you. It just, there is no exceptions. There's zero exceptions. If you're over here, you committed a crime while you're inside the United States and you're not a citizen to the United States. You're going home. There's no exceptions to that. Mullen even went on to suggest that immigration reform could help the economy. If we're looking to grow our economy, then we need to look at making more permanent solutions on this and getting the work, not the work, but the employers involved in the system. In order to do that, though, that takes coordination between labor. Our unions still have a saying this, guys. We got to get labor involved.

We got to get industry involved. And we got to fill out where the holes are created because this narrative that it stills is stills American jobs is true in some industries. It's not true for all industries. And we need to pay attention and be sensitive to that as we as we move forward because it is America first. We want to take care of Americans first. It's our economy, it's our homeland. But there's a way to utilize labor where we're not having the participation rate we need to and we can plug those holes. Now for us, that sounds like a fairly reasonable and sound idea, especially when you consider that undocumented immigrants actually subsidize things like healthcare and social security, but for the MAGA base, this is the worst idea to ever exist. Multiple MAGA figures responded with outrage, including Steve Bannon, who told Playbook on Monday, Mullen is the wrong guy at the wrong time for the wrong job. A time when we need focus, we need to focus on mass deportations. We get an amnesty advocate. Right wing podcaster, Jack Prosebik, also told Playbook, there is a growing wave among MAGA to find the DHS secretary who puts deportations first. However, no one was angrier than Laura Lumer who got on X to say, I am so fed up with Markwayne Mullin. In an effort to preserve his legacy and fulfill campaign promises to the American people, I'd recommend President Trump fire Markwayne Mullin as DHS secretary. He's done absolutely nothing to increase the rate of mass deportations. And under his command of DHS, the Islamic takeover of America is now on steroids. Good Lord. Markwayne Mullin has shown no plan to the American people regarding how he will remove the jihad. threat from America, our country is being ravaged by Islamic communists. And Markwayne Mullin is doing nothing to deport these enemy combatants who are chanting death to America on the streets of America. And if you thought that was all, no, it is not. She also followed up a few days later with this. I would like to be the new DHS secretary. I promise you, I will actually make ICE the paramilitary force. It should have always been to round up and forcibly remove jihadist invaders and third world illegal a from our country. I will get the job done. That was something that Jank Yuger here actually responded to, offering up a clarification. In other words, I will unleash authoritarian big government on Americans on behalf of Israel. I'll remove any American who dares to oppose a foreign government and I'll tread all over you and make you serve a foreign nation. Big brother brought to you by Israel first. And then Lumer made this threat. Don't worry, Jank Huger, when I am DHS secretary, you and your nephew, Hasan Piker, are the first on my list for deportation. I'm going to send you both back to Turkey. They I'm going to make Turkey pay our country reparations for making us have to coexist with you for several decades. And I'm not even going to ask Benjamin Netanyahu for permission, I'm just going to do it. He can keep the $7,000. I'm doing this one for the love of the game. It's time for you and Hassan.

to go home. Good Lord, of course, no one is actually taking Lumer seriously here, not even the Trump administration, and that's because Mullen is not even in jeopardy of losing his job. The president has confidence in Secretary Mullen and his entire administration to carry out the agenda the American people voted for. Sounds a little bit like a threat. Jank, any thoughts here? Yeah, so first off, like, Let's start with Laura Lomer than go to Markwayne Mullin. So she constantly in those posts that LA just read you and in all the other ones, she's like, deport all the Muslims and the jihadists. Wait, what did that come in to play, right? Like for right wingers and MAGA, it was all about mass deportations in general, right? But here comes Israeli Larry to come in here and go, now remember, the main people were deporting of people criticizing Israel. Wait, why? Where did that come from, right? And I'm just gonna call them jihadists. And by the way, a lot of Christians and people that were born here also criticized Israel. But she's getting her deportation list for a foreign government if she's the agent secretary. Now you say nobody takes her seriously. And on this one, I hope not. I mean, that's insane to consider Laura Luma for any job period, let alone a government job, let alone cabinet secretary. But she does every once in a while go to the White House and fire anyone she likes in the Trump administration. So she is actually kind of a powerful. force in the government and then the media that barely even notes it. They're like, well, of course Israeli Larry gets to fire anyone she likes in the White House. Why? Like, why is it? Imagine if when Biden was in office, we had like Randobob left wing streamer, like I can't name anyone because they're all more popular than Laura Lumer. So just like like a microscopic influencer on the left who just comes and goes, fire him, him, him, him. It's impossible to even imagine it. So where does she get that kind of power? Obviously, there are other forces in Washington who like the bigotry she's pushing and who want to promote that. And then there are other forces who pretend not to see it. Okay, so now to Markwayne Mullin. So what is he saying? He's got one thing that he's saying that's legitimate, another thing that he's saying it's from a rational perspective. And then we'll talk about why Mag is mad. So he's saying, look, I know these days politically immigration reform is impossible, but we should if we could have a rational system where people are allowed to do things in a legal way, but not in an illegal way. That's surprisingly non insane, right? Markwayne Mullin is not known for that. He's known for being a hot head and kind of an idiot, right? But that's a rational thing to say. So what's left of MAGA, so that's like the thermonuclear Trump cult, right, is like no.

Rational, okay, okay, all right. So you don't want us to do any reform, you don't want us to pass any laws. And what do they want? They just want mass deportations. Okay, look, I get it, that's what they want. They're Americans, they're allowed to vote any way they like and say anything they like. But the great majority of the country does not want mass deportation. They want the border closed, okay? And so that's part of why Trump won. And we acknowledge that, we're rational actors, right? Mass deportations pulled very, very badly, right? And that's why Markwayne Mullin's there in the first place, because they tried the mass deportations. They tried the armed, masked thugs in the streets killing Americans. And Americans didn't like it, right? But the remaining MAGA is just immovable, right? And that's okay. There's immobile people, you know, in the extremes usually. And so, but they're not the majority. But the second thing that Mullen said is what's triggering some, you know, rational people too, right? So he talked about like some industries need this cheap labor. Do they? Okay, so that was a little bit more complicated, right? Because we could just pay Americans to do it. Now some are very hard. We've talked about this before in the farming industry. Sometimes you say I'll pay $25, $30 an hour, and you still can't get people. All right, but that's why we need reform to have a rational system where some people are willing to do that job at this rate and others are willing to do it at that rate. But part of the reason we actually don't have reform is because those corporations want cheap labor. And if it's illegal, it's cheaper. Then they don't have to get process in. But now they're worried that they're driving away too many immigrants and they're not going to have enough workers for the farms, etc. So that's why the Markwayne Mullin of the world, the Republicans are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we got to find a way to help our corporate buddies, right? But we can't. piss off our base who doesn't care about our corporate buddies. So that's a real thing that creates conflict and that you could get angry about, right? So that's why it's nuanced and it's a little bit complicated. But the bottom line is they just want Mullen to do the mass deportations. They're gonna want the next guy to do mass deportations. And the reason he's in there in the first place is because Trump and the Republicans realize that's just not gonna work too many Americans. Don't like that idea. They really hate that idea. And if you keep going in that direction, you're going to destroy the Republican Party. You guys aren't going to get elected to anything. Yeah, I mean, the elected MAGA officials, I think, have done a great job, too, of like, they've funneled a lot of economic anxieties for a lot of Americans into one particular solution. And that's like a really enticing thing when you are struggling financially and someone on the television tells you that here is one particular problem, one particular group that would make all your problems go away. That's a really alluring thing for people to believe. And I could be wrong, but my theory is that Mullins has actually read some of the data on undocumented immigrants.

because he's sort of hinting at it when he's going like oh actually yeah it's bad for some industries but not all of them actually On average, they subsidize, they improve economies. There are areas, there are localized areas where that isn't the case, but by and large, they are a net positive for this nation, but that doesn't matter when you are playing into people's emotions as much as they are. And also, in terms of Laura Lumer, I mean, this like combination of Islamophobia and Red Scare stuff, A, doesn't make sense on its face. And I think we're just going to see a ton of it as we continue to go forward. Yeah, last thing guys, if you're in the middle or you voted for Trump and you say, look, I want the border close, I'm not sure about mass importations, and you're trying to figure out who caused your problems. To Elliot's point, don't look down, look up, look up. The immigrants are coming with zero dollars in their pockets. How are they going to influence anyone? Whereas there's billionaire donors that are just flat out buying our Congress. They're the ones that are causing. actually your problems. They don't want your wages to go up. They don't want you to have health care. They don't want you to have paid family leave. They don't want you to have anything because they think that that's a cost for them. So they purchase our politicians and that's where the corruption comes from. That's why you got to get money out of politics. You solve that. A lot of your other problems will get solved right along with it. But if you just want to blame someone who doesn't have a dollar in his pocket, you can maybe makes you feel a little bit better, but it's not going to solve anything. All right, Elliot, we got one last story. Let's jump. All right, so here we go. I said Elliot, but as usual, I'm starting it. Okay, so I drop site news with another brilliant article. This time it turns out there was an Israeli spy inside the United Nations. So he's now the head of UNICEF, so I'm sure he's been fired. Has he? Let's find out, Elliot. Yeah, all right, so who was this mole? Well, according to a series of hacked emails, UN official Yehav Lickner reportedly gave Israeli diplomats UN documents. You're not supposed to do that. Lickner got the job after getting a glowing review from Ron Prozer, Israel's UN ambassador from 2011 to 2015. Multiple emails were obtained. On February 20th, 2015, an official of the United Nations Population Fund sent to Israeli diplomats an email containing a confidential report about a trip two weeks earlier to Washington, D.C. by Zaid Rod al-Hussein, then the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. For your eyes only, do not forward, Yehovah Lichner wrote to a then Israeli ambassador to the UN Ron Prozer and diplomat Ronnie Leshno Yard in a message that sent from Lickner's personal email account describing the report as a, quote, classified internal summary of Zade's meetings in Washington. The meetings came at a time when Israel was facing an independent commission inquiry by the UN Human Rights Council over its conduct during the 2014 military offensive against the Gaza Strip. Here's an email shared in Hebrew along with the translation.

And the translation of the Hebrew text reads, Roni with great caution for your eyes only. Below is the Guardian's inquiry and Rowley's official response regarding the listing. See the last sentence. The fact that the Guardian reporter contacted these two, Rowley and John. Shows that the leak did not come from them. I'm betting on Unura slash Ocha. Internal correspondence, please do not use slash quote. Yehav. Also, this type of communication was not a one-off. Over a two-year period between 2014 and 2015, email show Littner repeatedly supplied. Israeli officials with internal UN documents, private meeting accounts, pre-release material, and other political intelligence, including documentation marked as, quote, strictly confidential, which was later used by Israeli officials to help shape their own efforts to both proactively lobby the U.S. government and undercut UN initiatives they viewed as unfavorable to Israel. The communications showing Lickner leaking confidential information to officials in the Israeli government come from a hacked database of emails. from Prozer, Israel's permanent representative to the UN from 2011 to 2015. There is not currently any evidence that the leaking continued after 2015 or into his UNICEF role. And there's also no evidence that UNICEF knew about this when they hired him. The emails were discovered on the hacked archive of Ron Prozer, which were leaked by distributed denial of secrets and obtained by a hacking group with Iranian intelligence ties. What was leaked? Confidential report on the UN human rights chief private DC meetings, strictly confidential UN daily security and protocol, or excuse me, political briefings, an unpubished letter from Secretary General Bond Kimun to Mahmoud Abbas, notes from Secretary General Bond's meetings with foreign leaders, early access to when a UN Gaza war crimes report would drop, and communications about a guardian story about Israeli pressure to keep the IDF off a child rights violators list. Whole lot of yikes there, a lot of implications, at least a lot of smoke. Jank, what's your take on it? They're fire him immediately. Why is he fired? There's an Israeli spy running UNICEF. UNICEF is supposed to help needy children. Israel starves children to death and this guy's helping them do it and he's in charge of UNICEF. I can't imagine a worst person in charge of UNICEF. fired immediately, but he's an Israeli spy, so of course he won't be fired. There's Israeli spies all over, but if you say it, they go, no, that's anti-Semitic, except the brothers literally, an Israeli spy saying, oh, I will work for the United Nations. Of course I don't have loyalty to Israel, I have loyalty to the United Nations. Just kidding, I'm gonna betray you and give all of your secrets to Israel so they could screw you over and they could screw over the Palestinians. Why would you have that guy employed at all? So look, and then they'll say stupid things like, Adil loyalty is a trope. Well, unless you're a spy, in which case it's literal. He literally had loyal to Israel over the United Nations, which is where he was working. So that is why we're, so by the way, these kind of spies do massive damage to Jewish Americans who don't deserve it, right? They have nothing to do with this. They're not, but now people look at, well, I mean, do you want to hire someone? Because look at this and that and other thing. No, they're exceptions. But unfortunately, in Washington and in places of power, your local dentist is not a spy.

Okay, be in positions of power. There are tons and tons of Israeli assets. That is a fact, and it is certainly a fact in this case. And if anyone cared about what the mission of the UN is, what the mission of UNICEF is, obviously the spy should be fired, but Israel gets special privileges. So maybe it'll be considered anti-Semitic to fire a spy. All right, everybody check out Elliot and Rebel headquarters. We appreciate you brother. Now when we, when I come back, I'm gonna show you how Anna was part of the latest Iran Lego video that came out today. It's a fun little thing. And we'll talk a little bit more about the revolution and a little bit of bonus segments. So members stay right here. But the next segment for the Lego section will be available to everyone. So everybody come back.
