you're listening to The Young Turks, the online news show. Make sure to follow and rate our show with not one, not two, not three, not four, but five stars. You're awesome. Thank you. Welcome to The Young Turks. Thank you. We're Anna Caspere with you guys. So, we're going to be doing a lot of things. So, it's a big, big busy Monday week. Well, actually it's a Tuesday.

Happy Labor Day, everybody. I hope you enjoyed it. Now, everybody back to laboring for Israel. I hope none of you guys worked out because fitness is fascism. I might cover that tomorrow, so stay tuned. Back to you, Jake. There's a lot of badger than going around. I don't know if fitness is among them. But anyways, okay, on today's show, Nenya, who knew about October 7th chose not to tell his own intelligence group. And there's a second devastating part of that article, huge article out of Heretson, Israel. We'll cover that a little bit later in the program. Number two, the Dems Secret Strategy to make sure they lose. So, they don't just, they're not going to accidentally lose. They have a plan to lose. They're going to that. Yeah, yeah, that's their expertise to be fair to them. So, we'll explain that a little bit later in the show. And then now this, this is amazing. Now apparently the phrase free Palestine is anti-Semitic. So, if you want to free Palestinians and you do not share an Israel's bigotry, you're a big

Palestinian. In other words, rebranding anti-Semitism as a good thing, because you should want freedom for all people, whether they're Jewish, whether they're Muslim, whether they're Palestinian, whether they're Israeli. But we live in a topsy-turvy world. So, the Zionists are working over time to essentially rebrand anti-Semitism as a good thing. Well, that's an interesting take on it. I don't know. Maybe I'll start calling ZTN, but ZTN's busy at work. That's the Zionist thug network that exists inside this country. And they're trying to cancel Maclamore for having the temerity to think that the Palestinians might be equal to the Israelis know they are inferior. And if you don't say they're inferior, that means you're an anti-Semite. Okay, so we'll get to that story a little bit later. But first, disastrous developments on the war.

And Iran in several weeks now. And that in and of itself is concerning, especially as neither Tehran nor Washington show any indication that they're about to make concessions to get back to the memorandum of understanding that was supposed to end this war or to get back to negotiations. Isn't it possible gas prices could go up even more? Well, if you look at I look at I don't want to have an opinion on that. You don't need an opinion on that. There's facts. And the answer is yes, gas price has already gone up tremendously. We exchanged strikes with Iran over the weekend as you're seeing there. So we sang three of their tankers. We'll tell you more about it in a second. But they're two potentially disastrous developments there. The one you just heard, which is, oh, they're firing ballistic missiles at our ships. Are we sure they're not going to hit one of them? And then there's a second disaster. But let's give you the whole story. Look, there are strikes being exchanged and it's really hard to keep track of what's going on. But I'm going to do my best to catch you guys up on everything, including the context that led

up to where we are today. Now, let me start with the latest news, which does not bode well for the United States military or our Secretary of War, Pete Hegzith, because it turns out and this appears to be confirmed. The US media has even reporting on it at this point. Iran's IRGC has captured a US submarine in the state of Hormuz. Now, at first, the US didn't say anything about this. Now you're seeing some comments from anonymous Trump administration officials attempting to downplay this as like, not a big deal, not a big deal. This unmanned submarine is actually some of our older technology. Is it? I don't think so. Let's get to the details. Let's put up this post on X. Iran's IRGC Navy says Navy. I was led to believe that Iran's Navy was obliterated, but okay. That it doesn't exist anything. Exactly. That's weird. Iran's IRGC Navy says they captured a US submarine in the state of Hormuz. It is a dive DL autonomous submarine valued at $2.5 million.

Hey, American people, congratulations. We paid for that. Statement number 12 from IRGC Navy. Deer people of Iran by the special grace of Almighty God, the fighters of the IRGC Navy through a complex intelligence and operational surveillance action, trapped one of the most modern intelligent unmanned underwater vehicles of the American terrorist army at the entrance of the state of Hormuz in the early hours of this morning. This intelligent underwater vehicle possesses the latest technology in the field of underwater systems in the world and was delivered to the fleet of the American terrorist army in 2025. Just to give you guys a few more details about it, let's put the next post in this thread up on the screen so you guys can see the unmanned submarine in question. Dive LD, the US Navy's new autonomous underwater vehicle. It's a large autonomous underwater vehicle initially developed by Dive Technologies after the acquisition of the company, its development continued within the Angelryl Industries Group. Okay, so it does appear that this isn't

just Iran pretending like they did something they didn't actually do. It does appear that they manage to take control of this autonomous US submarine. Now, there's also some indication that Iran shut down an MQ-1 drone with its air defense system. So this all happened today. So today, militarily speaking, not a great day for the US military. The US has also decided to slap sanctions on dozens of Iranian airlines, meaning civilian airlines. They're not really attacking military assets or anything like that. Treasury Secretary Scott Bassett said in a statement, let this be a warning to anyone doing business with Iran's remaining airlines, all of which we sanctioned today. You are at risk of being cut off from the global financial system. Now, Treasury officials also accused Iran's commercial airlines of supporting Iran's destabilizing activities, including transporting weapons and personnel. Obviously, they didn't provide any evidence to support that claim. But nonetheless, the agency also blocked the assets of companies in Turkey, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and the UAE that Treasury officials have provided goods

or services to Mahan Air, an Iranian airline that has been subject to US sanctions since 2019. Additionally, today, it was reported by the Wall Street Journal that Iran carried out some offensive, not defensive, offensive strikes against the United States. That the US was kind of unwilling to take, or make any notice of or take any statements about. They denied that these types of attacks were taking place, but the Wall Street Journal has confirmed it. Iran launched a missile attack against a US Navy ship on Monday after firing ballistic missiles at an aircraft carrier. And a guided missile destroyer over the weekend. I'm going to give you more details on that in just a minute. Now, luckily, no American warships were actually struck. And I do believe that that was very much on purpose. I do believe that the reason why Iran carried out the strikes, the way that they did, is to send a message to the United States. Right now, they're engaged in a game of chicken. And basically, the US is letting, or Iran is letting the US know, your military,

your soldiers, service members who have been deployed on these carriers, they are sitting ducks. You need to leave the region because if you don't, we will intentionally strike. I believe that's the message that they're trying to send. So just to quickly go over the context, Jank, for anyone who might have tuned out in the middle of this war and you have no idea how we got here in the first place. You know, the latest round of kinetic warfare between the United States and Iran began when the US carried out strikes against Iran in LaRocke Island, something we covered extensively on the show last week. They claimed that they were targeting Iranian missile launchers on the island. The IRGC said that they would retaliate and they, in fact, did so by striking Jordan, the UAE, and Kuwait. Then the IRGC issued more warnings regarding vessels that traveled through the Strait of Hormuz without their authorization. And then later that day, following that threat, Iran made good on their promise. And they hit two vessels, although it's kind of unclear whether they did so through mines or through

air strikes. Now, this made the US look extremely clout-ish because the Trump administration had literally just claimed victory in demining the Strait of Hormuz, essentially telling the global community, go ahead and transit through the Strait. We have demined it, mission accomplished, and then right after that, Iran strikes these vessels. Now, the US didn't respond to Iran initially, but then on September 4th, Iran targets two US ships, but how Iran carried out the attack is important to understand, okay? And this goes to what I was commenting on earlier. Is Iran actually trying to strike the carriers or the US vessels, or are they trying to send a message and here to clarify that for us is Colonel Daniel Davis, take a look. There were only two projectiles that were actually fired at the American warships. Now, they got my attention right away because I thought, look, yeah, everybody knows that you're far on an aircraft carrier strike group. You know, they have interconnected multi-layered air defenses.

I mean, they're literally designed for this. And if you want to have any hope at all, penetrating that, you're going to have to have either some super sophisticated weapon or you're going to have to saturate it with overwhelming amount of projectiles. You fire one or two, there's almost no chance it's going to get through because of the multi-layered since defenses that we have. And yet, that's what was reported. Now, the Americans did not sit back on that one. And later, also on the 4th of September, they launched three vessels over the night of 4 to 5 September. The United States launched attacks into three civilian tankers. Now, you would think if it's a normal war, then the United States would, again, go back and hit the IRGC. They would hit their Navy. They would hit Army. They would command a control. They would hit missile launchers. They would hit communications towers. You name it. That's what you would expect to come next. But instead, the US did what was not expected. And it went after civilian tankers. Does this sound like you're lying in bed? And suddenly, you realize it's 2 AM. And you've been

doom scrolling for hours. That late night doom scroll doesn't just wreck your brain. It spikes your internal temperature. And when you're overheated, your body never hits that deep restorative sleep.

You might as well wake up ready for them. So Iran carries out those strikes in order to send a message to the United States and the US responds by syncing three civilian, Iranian tankers. And so Centcom described the ships as IRGC tankers and apparent attempt to justify the attack on civilian vessels. And then this is graphic six, at least two of them, the Downey and the Stark-1 are owned and managed by the National Iranian tanker company. Sea Trade Maritime News reported that based on publicly available data, it's unclear who owns or manages the third ship, the Kylo. So, so, Jank, honestly, if you really take an objective look at what's going on, clearly Iran consistently targets US military assets in the region,

US military bases in the Gulf. By the way, to the point where now the US is kind of openly discussing, leaving the region because our military bases have been destroyed in our Gulf ally countries. And so then you look at, you know, you just look at this asymmetrical situation in which the US seems to just be lashing out, striking whatever they can. It's not military assets most of the time. We don't have the straight of Hormuz open. In fact, less vessels transited through the straight of Hormuz over the weekend than, you know, previously. So we're in a lot of trouble, but you don't get that sense from the comments coming out of the Pentagon and from Secretary of War PTAGZ. Yeah, so I'll tell you two moments where everybody's going to flip out. But first, let's analyze what happened over the weekend. So, I agree with the general there. They're doing something that he didn't, he might have explained in the rest of the interview, but I'll call the Cypress strategy. So you fire only two ballistic missiles not to try to sink the ship, but to do two things. One is a warning, right? And that's

what he was referring to. But those warnings are never going to work while coming back to that. But the second thing you're doing is the Cypress strategy, which is what the Turks did when they invaded Cypress. The first thing they did was, it is massive assault and they dropped paratroopers onto the island, or at least that's what the Greeks thought. And the Greeks who were buried in the mountain tops started firing at the paratroopers, except they weren't paratroopers. They were dummies. And so they were just trying to figure out, the Turks were trying to figure out where the Greeks had their sniper positions, right? And then they bombed the hell out of the sniper positions and took the island immediately. Okay, so what Iran is trying to do is, how do we respond? How do our ships respond to a ballistic missile attack? And now they have their answer. They know exactly how we respond. So then they're going to try to reverse engineer it and fire enough missiles the next time that they get through. Okay, so that's how this game is played. So now number two, they captured the unmanned submarine, Anna's Ryan, the Rx uses there were hilarious.

It's like it's all knocked out and by the way, it had no intelligence on it at all. It was just like the most useless thing we ever had, just floating around the area for no reason at all. No, it's worth $2.5 million. It's stated that our technology, they're reverse engineering it as we speak. Yeah. Our racism is kind of catching up with us because the assumption in DC is always like, oh, these dumb Muslims, they'll never figure it out. We're so sophisticated and we have the best technology. What do you mean capture one of our unmanned subs? They can't do it. What do you mean hit one of our ships? They get our bases. They can't hit our bases. Well, Iran devastated our bases. Our bases almost don't exist anymore in the Gulf. Do you know that? All the soldiers have run from the bases. I don't mean them specifically. We asked them to move out, right? Because they were getting killed. Whoever didn't move out would get hit by Iran and would get killed. And that's how we have the casualties that we have now. So no, the Iranians have figured out many, many things because they're like other human beings. They're not less intelligent than the super

brilliant guys in the White House. Ironically, are actually some of the dumbest people in the world. You mean Pete Hegezeth isn't one of the most sophisticated strategic thinkers in the Pentagon right now? Yeah, the idea that Pete Hegezeth, I'm which I'm positive he has in his mind, that he's so much more intelligent than the Iranian military. It's hilarious. It's so good. It's so good. I mean, it's embarrassing for the United States, of course, so I don't celebrate it. But I mean, this is the kind of stuff that bravado you see from Hegezeth. He said, quote, it's simple. If Iran shoots at US ships, we will destroy and sink their oil tankers. Okay, so they did sink three oil tankers over the weekend, which by the way, isn't great considering the fact that Iran did retaliate and continues to retaliate. Wait till you get the breaking news that I'll give you in just a minute. But also, we are in the very real crisis when it comes to the supply of oil. And Iran is saying over and over again, we will target oil fields in the Gulf. We will target oil

and gas infrastructure in the Gulf. We are not playing. Drop site news, 10 minutes before we went live today reported this. Iran has launched with IRGC linked outlets describe as it's largest missile barrage since the 40-day war targeting US military positions in Jordan. So they're destroying US military positions and military bases in the region. Videos from Jordan show projectiles overhead. Iranian outlets claim cluster munitions were used and that the muwafak al-Salti air base was targeted. Okay, guys. So there's one more layer that Iran has and one more card to play that's actually devastating and that's almost never talked about, but is almost certainly going to come up soon. So first, I just want to say on what Anna pointed out, it's a really great point. Our number one problem when they close the trade of Hormuz was the

price of gas and it's driving Americans crazy. It's hurting the global economy. It's hurting the Republicans and the midterms, et cetera. So when you take out their oil tankers, you only exasperate that you make it worse, not better. So that's not a brilliant move. And I want just one note for the record, if they sank three of our ships, what our reaction would have been like, how dare they these monster terrorists, stop it guys. We have to kill them all, right? We sink three of their ships. It was like, yeah, it's Tuesday. That's fine. Okay, I just want that noted for the record because if they do sink one of our ships, everybody will say it was a surprise attack. We're six months into the war. How could it be a surprise attack, right? A war we launched against them. And they will be outraged and say it's disproportionate. Now in reality, as we've been documenting all along, the Iranians have been going along maniacally proportionate to the what they've gotten or less, right? So they have never gone to disproportionate in the other direction. But now it looks like that is where we're heading. Okay, so number one, they're saying,

okay, we're back at full war. There's no memorandum of understanding. You keep hitting us. You keep blockading us and you're sinking our ships. And you won't stop attacking. You're bombing us, nonstop civilian areas, weddings, oil infrastructure. You name it, you're bombing. So okay, no holds barred. So now we just tested your defense on the ships and one day we're going to sink one of your ships. I said that from day one, I'd be shocked if it didn't happen. And that's because we're too arrogant and we're too stupid and we can't get out of this stupid war. And most of all we're captured. So- Can I add one other thing, Jank? Because what I'm noticing is that, you know, Iran is slowly but surely pivoting or transitioning to the mindset of, no, the midterms are coming up. We want to cause as much political harm to Trump as possible. So now we're going to start doing offensive strikes rather than just responding to the United States, right? And by the way, the parliamentary speaker

in Iran, Gali Both also issued this warning and I do think, you know, as they have in the past, they've made good on their promises. So this is a warning that should be taken seriously by the Trump administration. He says, quote, it's simple. The oil and gas production chain here is sprawling, accessible and exposed. American oil and gas companies across these waters and facilities share that exposure. Strike our assets and you get struck. We've already proven it, ask the bases that are no longer viable, right? So he's pointing to the bases that have been destroyed by the IRGC in the past. He's promising to target oil and gas infrastructure in the region. If the US continues carrying out strikes against them. And then on top of that, there is a reason to believe that we're now in a phase, Jank, where Iran doesn't want the war to end. Yeah, well, so it's, yeah, I hear you. It's a tiny bit more complicated than that, but let me build off of it. So first of all, they realize now that proportional doesn't work. Like they thought

hey, if we give them warning signs, we can do this. Look at what we just did. All of your bases are gone. That America at some point will go, all right, we're going to run out of defense of missiles. These guys can do a lot more damage than we realize. The economy is badly heard. So hey, let's get out of here, right? But they have America has not done that. Why have we not done that? Because we're not allowed to. So nobody in the mainstream media takes into account the biggest factor of all, which is that Israel will not allow us to leave. No matter how dumb it is and how disastrous it is. So they're like, yeah, but Israel basically is saying back to us. Yeah, but that's damage done to you. And to the Arab Gulf countries, why do we care? It's no damage to us at all. We want this war to be a disaster in a lot of ways. We want a civil war in Iran or regime change in Iran. And we want to neutralize all of these regional actors. So we're the only remaining superpower in the region. So don't threaten us with a good time. No, America, you're ordered to stay. And if they think one of our ships that Israelis are going to dance live

on TV, they're going to be so ecstatic because they're going to be like, hi, hi, now you're stuck forever fighting our war. You see, Ronnie, believe, believe, well, terrorist, terrorists and all of American media will back them 200%. They'll all pretend we didn't start the war, et cetera. And they can't wait to do that kind of Israeli propaganda. And you guys, and by the way, again, you never have to trust us because you'll see it with your own eyes. When you see on cable news, them telling you that, oh my god, Iran attacked us out of nowhere. And now that they sank a ship, we have to stay there and do a bigger launch and a bigger strike and maybe tactical nuclear weapons and maybe ground troops. That's exactly right. I mean, consider the fact that again, Israel is the country that dragged the United States into this war. We are fighting this war on behalf of Israel. They're not sacrificing their soldiers. They're not paying for it. We are. And this phrase Israel up to do what? To continue annihilating the Palestinians and Gaza certainly. To continue annihilating the Palestinians in the West Bank. And then on top

of that, what have they been doing over the weekend? Annihulating the people of Southern Lebanon. Of course. Crushing them, erasing more villages, historic sites in Southern Lebanon. That's what they're free to do as we are suffering the consequences of fighting their war against Iran, a war that even if we were winning, there are no benefits of this war to us, the United States of America. Iran did not have the military capability to strike the United States. And every time you hear these disgusting Zionists provide cover for the war, they bring up what Iran did in the freaking 1980s. I don't care. I hear about what's happening right now. And what's happening right now is we are being dragged into conflicts and war by what is considered our ally should be considered our biggest enemy, should be the country that we're actually at war with. Okay, you're forcing me to go back to 1983 first thing. But then I want to speed up to the timing of these elections. So, so Haswala attacks us in back in 1983 because we were in Lebanon supporting Israel as always,

right? Yeah, we should have been there. Right. And so we get killed for no reason for Israel as always. As always. But what you might not know, so the reason they say, oh, Iran's been attacking us for 47 years because they had to go back 47 years to find an instance of Iran attacking us as opposed to Israel, right? But what you might not know is in 1985, two years after that, Israel made a deal with Iran. You know that feeling when you're doing everything you're supposed to be doing, eating healthy, working out, getting sleep, taking supplements, and you still wonder, is any of this actually working? Because doing all the right things doesn't always mean it's working for you. That's why I'm excited about the true age tests for true diagnostic. It uses epigenetics which may sound complicated, but it's really about tiny chemical tags on your DNA that change in response to sleep, stress, diet, exercise, and your environment. True age reads those tags to estimate how your body is aging. And unlike many biological age tests, their methods are published in peer-reviewed scientific journals and were developed with

researchers at Harvard, Yale, and Duke. You get a clear picture of where you are and where you can improve. Plus, personalized recommendations around nutrition, exercise, sleep, supplements, and lifestyle. The process is simple. Add home fingerprint, send it back, get your report online in about three to four weeks. So if you want to optimize your health, true age gives you a much clearer starting point. So if you're serious about longevity or even just curious whether your body is aging faster or slower than your actual age, this is one of the easiest ways to find out. Right now, go to truediagnostic.com and use code TYT for 20% off your entire order. That's truediagnostic.com code TYT for 20% off. So then they broke that deal because they're Israeli and they always break every deal. And then they so they have had deals with Iran since then and military alliances with Iran. You might not know that because they wanted to attack Iraq and they wanted to use Iran to take out other regional opponents back then. So like these Israelis

pretending that they're like, my God, what happened in 1983? They're like, you murdered a bunch of American Marines. Who cares? Yeah, who cares? Let's do a deal, man. Help me destroy one of your Arab neighbors. You're Persian. You don't care. Come on, let's destroy the Arabs together. And that's the deal they made. So it's all crocodile tears. By the way, anybody could look that up. The reason you probably never heard of it is because mainstream media hates the idea of giving you real news and giving you information. They hide all the information that might be incriminating to Israel. Instead, they just do their propaganda. So now back to the elections and the timing now. Anna's right. So here's how around views it. And again, unfortunately, they're correct about this. They said, if we wait till after the elections, then there's no check for another two years. Basically, the Americans and the Israelis have started talking about nukes. We have got to do something now. Otherwise, after the elections, they might even nuke us. Yep. And they'll be no recourse, nothing to check them, no elections. Did they have to worry about for a whole another two years? The Israeli elections will be over.

There is no question that after the US and Israeli elections, so within two months, that we will go and try to obliterate Iran at an even greater scale. Because then they'll be like, oh, gas prices, as long as there's no elections that doesn't affect your power, it's just the American people suffer in this South Koreans and the Indians and the whole world suffers. But who cares? They're not Israeli. They're inferior. So let's just crush them after the elections. And Iran knows that. So they're trying to speed up the process so that there's at least a cost before the elections. Now, what can they do? So as we explain, they might be able to sink a ship. And I'm super worried about it. I have been from day one. Number two, the part they're not talking about, nobody's talking about, which is they could hit the oil fields in the Gulf countries. And if they hit the oil fields, it's already game set match. You can't undo that damage. It takes 10 years to rebuild those. And so that's why this is not a conventional war. Both sides have been until we hit the oil tankers. Pretty reserved on hitting oil facilities. We hit the Iranian oil facilities once.

They hit back so hard we're like, don't hit their oil facilities again. Because it causes gas prices to skyrocket. So if Iran pushes that button and they destroy oil fields in the Gulf, well, then you're we're all screwed. And it's inevitable because we won't leave. The Israelis will never ever allow us to leave. So since we're never going to leave, they're Iran at some point. We'll definitely do that. And if you thought gas prices are bad now, wait to get a load of them after they hit the oil fields. And then the Saudis and the Israelis and the Americans will hit the Iranian oil fields and will and oil might double from this disastrous price. And then the last thing they have is Yemen. And if I don't know if you saw it earlier today, Yemen and Saudi Arabia going back and forth, back and forth. And what is Yemen doing? They're starting to hit their oil fields and they are allies of Iran. So here we go. This is developing into an even bigger and more disastrous war. But there's no brakes in the car. And there's nothing you can do to make Trump and the American government stop because it's not the American government.

Well, Jake made reference to the terrible economic situation where we're currently experiencing, especially when it comes to oil prices, gas prices, diesel prices. So when we come back from the break, I actually do want to touch on that topic. And then we'll move on to Canadian tariffs on US imports in response to Trump's ridiculous nonsensical trade war. So that in more coming up, don't miss it. All right. Let's go to members on TYT.com. Durg says we're about to become a confusing country since we're renaming New Mexico to New America. But now that we're beefing with England, we need to rename New York and New Jersey to New

America and Newer America. So those are all excellent points. And of course, remember England and Canada are our worst enemies. And our best friend is the one that drags us into every war where you die and spend trillions of dollars. The best friend is the one that gets you murdered and waste all of your money. Our top enemies are the Canadians in the English. Okay, all right, whatever dude. This is such obvious propaganda. It's comical. As a most profit says, if they use one of our unmanned subs to sink one of our aircraft carriers, the US military will never regain its position in the world. By the way, I think that is a literal point you're making. I mean, if it's as simple as just capturing one of our own devices and using it against us, we're cooked. All of our equipment is for waste. And we know we were wasting trillions of dollars there. It's just all pork barrel projects anyway. As Sam says, so this is basically World War III punishing other countries not in Bob will only cause us more harm than good. Oh yeah, things are going to get way worse with other

countries. Twitch Bradshaw crew one, thank you for gifting the five subs. You're awesome as usual. Semper fire dogs says if you're sinking oil tankers, it's going to increase the cost of oil exactly right. You're better than ever reporter in the country. It's just Vegas says our military is totally competent by the way, that's funny. It meant to be funny. All C Andy says, and I you do all colors love. Jank is that violent? All right, back on to you, I'll keep Jankin Anna with you guys and miss Mint Juleps. Thank you for joining. You're awesome. They hit the join button below, so did event Morris.

And event added, I am serious. Casparian for President 2028. My goodness. Yeah, well. See, unlike I would argue most people who run for President, I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm not qualified for that. So I don't believe that at all. I don't I don't even close it. Okay, okay, let's we go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, look, the people running the country are the most unqualified baboons I've ever seen. Right? So no, you are a billion times more qualified them. Anyway, Rose Zorosco, thank you for gifting a membership on YouTube. You're awesome as usual. And I just want to read one quick comment here because it's relevant to what's happening today. Anthony McClendon wrote in on Super Chat. Jank, thanks for interviewing a Karizha Ma'am on Zor last week in page Bozha. Bozha, Bozha, earlier, both ran great campaigns exposed their opponents corruption and built movements that can't be stopped regardless of what happens today. But there is elections today in your neck of the woods. Please check out where the elections are including a new hamster and always vote against the incumbents vote against the establishment. The outsiders represent real people. The insiders represent the corrupt donor class

and that's why mainstream media loves them because they live in brief corruption. So go vote for outsiders today if you can. We'll give you the results later. All right, now let's go to our next story. So the economic impact of the blows back and forth in Iran this weekend is going to be potentially devastating. We're already seeing some of it. But wait till you see the damage that it could do worldwide and a tell-so-all story. Absolutely. Now that the kinetic warfare between the United States and Iran has been reignited, unfortunately shipping through the straight of Hormuz over this past weekend dropped to the lowest level since May. And that's according to the tracking data which you can check for yourselves. Now the escalation helped push up Brent Crude Oil and international and international benchmark to near $100 per barrel Tuesday morning. A price last reached in July. And at some point we all knew something had to give.

Now the US had been bragging about how they managed to get more and more vessels through the straight of Hormuz without getting attacked. It never reached the levels that it needed to reach. So we can get back to normalcy clearly. But now the situation is far worse since the kinetic warfare has been reignited. So Labor Day weekend for instance, we saw a record. Okay, so the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline has never been above $4 on Labor Day according to AAA. On Monday though, Labor Day, the national average price at the pump was $4.15, a record high for the holiday. And the impact on the cost of diesel is certainly far more pronounced. For instance, the price of diesel meanwhile also hit a record heading into the long holiday weekend. It cost $5.90 per gallon on Monday compared with $3.71 a year ago. And again, this is according to AAA. So the situation is so dire and so humiliating for the Trump administration

that our own energy secretary Chris Wright doesn't want to answer any questions about it. Take a look. Well, if you look at I look at I don't want to have an opinion on that, but if you look at the futures market right now, what can you buy gasoline for two months in advance from where we are today? It's down more than $0.30 a gallon from where it is today. So we are hitting the end of the summer driving season. The Trump administration has changed blending requirements for American refiners, which allows them to produce more gasoline just as demand for gasoline is about to

start heading down. I should I should point out that New York, Connecticut, California and several other Democrat government states have decided not to adopt those standards. They apparently want to keep driving up prices on their on their residents, but that Trump administration is doing everything we can to drive energy prices down as we have since the day we arrived in office. Respectfully as the energy secretary shouldn't you have an opinion on where gas prices are and where they're going? I want to tell you about a new podcast series I'm enjoying from Future Hinesight Occupy and unfinished uprising. Occupy Wall Street is the story of the improbable becoming possible. In 2008, millions of people were devastated by an economic crash caused by Wall Street greed, but it wasn't until 2011 that there was a master's response from the left. It called to protest one out and thousands of people responded. I know I was there. They raised against the system that was rigged against them and tried to create their own anti-capitalist village in a small

Manhattan park. The movement quickly spread across the country, inspiring hundreds of occupations and a new generation of activists. Occupy and unfinished uprising is told through the voices of activists who camped out in Zakatipark for almost two months, getting inside the drama of a movement that grew rapidly, felt both transcendent and chaotic and then violently flamed out. Occupy changed the national conversation about capitalism, popularized the language of the 99% and inspired a generation of activists. As we approach Occupy's 15th anniversary this September, this series offers a reminder that collective action can reshape what seems possible. To listen, search for Future Hinesight wherever you get your podcast.

Trading at roughly $92 per barrel as of 930 AM Eastern time on Monday and that's compared with about $67 before the Iran war started on February 28th. Similarly Brent Crude oil futures, an international benchmark. We're trading at about $97 per barrel on Monday up from roughly $72 pre-war and right now again the Trump administration is bragging about how they managed to get some oil out through the straight of hormones despite the Iranian blockade. But it's clearly not enough. So according to the US Energy Information Administration, an estimated 4.9 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum liquids were transported daily through the straight in the second quarter of the year, a sharp drop from the average of 21.6 million barrels per day in the last quarter of 2025 obviously before the war started. And then, Jake, you kind of put this reality up against all the

other conflicts and issues that we're seeing internationally. I know people hate when I mention this, but it's just the truth and you just have to deal with it. Ukraine striking Russian refineries and oil infrastructure is also contributing to the cost of oil going up that what you're experiencing at the gas pump. And also the fact that the Saudis have reengaged in warfare with the Houthis in Yemen. And so oil facilities were on fire after the Houthis launched a major missile and drone attack targeting energy sites across southwestern Saudi Arabia today. Yeah, so that's exactly what we told you about and warned you about earlier in the show. And so first of all, there's a real number and it's not what either side is saying as to the traffic through the straighter hormones. And it is about a quarter of what it was before the war in the last quarter, the last three months. So when the Iranians say there's nothing going through the straighter hormones, that's not true about a quarter of the ships are going through. When the US says it's

completely open and 100% of the ships are going through, that's comically false. But that's coming out of the mouth of Donald Trump and everybody knows that our president is a maniacal and pathological liar, which is deeply embarrassing, by the way. We should try not to elect morons and pathological liars because then people go, I guess that's America. Like, I hate how he's embarrassed us throughout the world, little in the actual damage. So now that we turn to the actual damage, as we explained earlier, the Iranians just tested two ballistic missiles against our ships. I would be very surprised if they couldn't sink one of our ships because as our own general say, is that firing two, they could fire 20 or 40. And then how are you going to stop all of those? And you probably can't. I've been worried from day one that they're going to sink an aircraft carrier. And if they do that, then we're in catastrophic situation. So that's a potential problem, number one, on top of what we're already experiencing. So we're already at record high oil prices in Labor Day. And these are all going to add on top of it. And what I'm worried about is not by

a little bit and it's not going to be incremental anymore, it's going to be giant leafs and bouts. So second issue is the markets finally waking up and realizing, only a quarter of the oil is making it through those straight-ahor mousse. Golly gee, I guess that affects supply and demand. There are. And so today the markets went down over 600 points. They went down I think about 400 at the end of last week. So and why is that? Because the morons on Wall Street finally realized, right, if there's less oil, the price of oil will be higher and that'll affect all the rest of the economy. So I mean, it's incredible how long they believe Trump's lies. It was incredible. But now that spell and that illusion looks like it's broken. So that's problem number two. Problem number three is, as we explained before in breaking news there from Yemen is a potentially huge problem. If Iran's proxies are starting to hit Gulf oil and gas fields, including a Saudi Arabia like the Houthis are, that's also going to not affect the price of oil a little bit.

You cannot rebuild those for another 10 years or so. I mean, if you're super lucky and good, and you pour all of your resources maybe five years. But that means we have limited the supply of oil not for the next couple of days or weeks, but for the next couple of years. So that'll have devastating consequences on gas prices and the rest of the economy. And we're basically burning the world here for no reason at all. Iran never had a nuclear weapon, never was developing a nuclear weapon. In fact, they had their most holy edict in Shia Islam saying that we are to never develop a nuclear weapon. But we murdered the guy who gave that edict. Now his son says, all right, well, maybe we will and maybe we blocked the straight and hormones and they did and maybe we hit all your oil fields and they might do that next. So if you think things are bad now, I hate to tell you this and I'm sorry about being the bearer of bad news, but it is going to get dramatically worse soon. And to make matters worse, Trump has decided to start a new trade war with

one of our most important trade partners, Canada, which I'll give you the details about later in the show. But one final thing that I'll mention, there's been some new reporting in regard to the current state of the US strategic petroleum reserve, which we have been tapping into to attempt to mitigate a devastating spike in gas prices at the pump. And here's what we know so far. And to be honest with you, this is devastating in any context, but for me, it was like a little bit of a relief because I thought we were like about done with what we have left in our strategic petroleum reserve. But here's what we do know, the US has now withdrawn 129.9 million barrels since March, meaning the beginning of the war. And that reduces the emergency stockpile by roughly 31% in just six months. Now that's bad news, but it's not as bad as I thought it was initially. So I'm just like, huh, no, shockingly not as devastating as I expected, but it is still devastating 31% of our strategic petroleum reserve gone in six months. No, yeah, it's worse than you think because I know it was around

25% before now it's gotten up to 31%. But that's what's artificially keeping the price of oil low or low error in this interregnum and this purgatory that we're living in right now. But once we dip below a certain percentage, we've got to keep it in reserve. We don't have a choice. I mean, because if we run out of the whole thing, it's going to affect the market even more. Because they're going to think, there's no reserves left at all and that's going to create a panic. I think getting below 50% is kind of unthinkable and now we're flirting with that. Mm-hm. Israel is literally draining everything we have out of this country. Our oil, our military, our defenses, our money, our troops. But why do you hate Jews, Jank? Yeah. And meanwhile, as you're saying, hey, why are we doing this all for this one tiny country? I mean, why don't we spend all of our blood and treasure for Nicaragua or Mongolia or something? Or us. Or I know it's crazy, but how about us, right? Yeah. And all of our media goes Jew haters.

You should never listen to them. You should destroy America on behalf of Israel if you're not an anti-Semite. But if you see supply and demand and understand it, you're a normal functioning human being and that is logical and rational and understands world events, then you're an anti-Semite. Because you won't bow down to Israel's insane demands. But it doesn't really matter because we're not in charge. The government is and the government is totally captured by Israel. So you'll see, even though these devastating effects are definitely coming down the pike, we will not budge an inch. We will go further into the war because we have been ordered into that disastrous war by our masters, by the Israeli government. And so you will see the consequences that we're laying out for you. And you'll get to see with your own eyes. Because Israelis, that's all of mainstream media and almost all of Congress, tell you, oh no, everything's going to be great. And we've got this thing figured out. And you're all anti-Semites for not loving this war. And this has nothing to do with Israel and blah, blah, blah, blah.

Don't worry about the price of oil. The government keeps saying over and over again. I mean, we just showed you the energy secretary. We could show you every secretary. Oh, it's no problem. We're America. We're great. And so when you see the catastrophic prices and you see the economy meltdown on an even grander scale, understand who was right and who was wrong, who lied to you and who told you the truth. And we're telling you right now that that is going to happen. And it is definitely Israel's fault. We have no interest in this war at all. If our government was not occupied by the Israelis, we wouldn't be anywhere near Iran and we wouldn't have any of these problems. All right, I'm going to be naughty and skip the next break because I want to get to this Canada story. So let's get right to it. So we are dealing with inflation. Obviously, we should have a leader who wants to do something about that inflation, but he's doing the opposite. He's making it worse. Let's get to the details. Canada has now officially imposed retaliatory tariffs on nearly $30 billion Canadian dollars worth of US imports, meaning US goods being exported into

Canada. So the Canadian taxes on US imports took effect today and that comes on the heels of President Trump's decision to spark a new trade war with our most important trading partner or Northern neighbor Canada. I have more details, but before I get to those details, Jank, what is he doing and why is he doing it? Yeah, so this one is uniquely Trump. So this is less the donor class, all the donor class does benefit from it. We'll explain why in a little bit. But Canada struck back today and so back in the Trump herd the decades ago that in the late 1800s, when we had tariffs, we didn't have an income tax and tariffs were enough to pay for everything back then. He got it into a super dumb head that if we go to just the tariff system, we won't have to pay income tax because he doesn't want to pay income tax. That's why we've done all this

maniacal tariff stuff because the moron cannot be spoken to like an adult. And so you keep telling him, the 1890s are not the same thing as today. The economy is so much larger. There's no chance you could finance all that with tariffs. And he's like, no, you mean larger tariffs? Let's hit our top enemy Canada. What is this Canada struck back? Yes, so let me give you the details because it is relevant and much like Iran now working to drag out a war that's deeply unpopular and will hurt Trump politically. It appears that Canada is specifically targeting US imports that would impact Trump's voting base, which would hurt Trump politically in the lead up to the midterms. And look, I mean, you might be upset at that if you were a Trump supporter. But at the end of the day, strategically speaking, this is pretty brilliant. And so maybe we don't support a president who is actively working against our best interests. So let me give you the

details. Canada imposed tariffs on 27.6 billion Canadian dollars worth of US goods. And that includes dairy, agricultural equipment, paper, household appliances, and electronics, which by the way is going to impact the manufacturers here in the United States who are exporting those products to Canada. Canadians would have to pay a higher tax on those imports. But at the end of the day, this is basically being done to harm US companies in order to retaliate against Trump's insanely stupid trade war. So the tariffs on those imports will range from a 15% to 50% tax. So US steel, aluminum, and iron products, furniture, and clothing were hit with the highest rate of 50%. Ottawa called the move a dollar for dollar response to the US slapping new 50% tariffs on about 20 billion dollars worth of Canadian wine, hockey sticks, and other key goods on August 22nd.

So these again, Canadian counter tariffs, there were Canadian counter tariffs in place previously, due to previous rounds of Trump's trade war with Canada. And so those tariffs will remain in place. They will be unchanged. And so that includes 25% on the politically sensitive auto sector. Those will remain in place. And instead of taking a step back to kind of recalibrate whether or not engaging in a new round of trade war with Canada makes much sense. Trump has done well what you can expect him to do. He has decided to double down. And now he is threatening additional tariffs on Canadian goods. So for instance, he issued a threat in a typical rambling truth social posting. No more selling bombardier in the United States. So that is a Canadian airline manufacturer or airplane manufacturer, I should say. He says if they want our market, they must build here and stop treating America like a piggy bank. Now the only problem is the company that he's

now threatening to target actually employs American workers in several states throughout this country. So they issued a statement reminding Trump of that. And then in a statement to CNBC the company said that they value its great partnership with American companies and its U.S. employees. And so that led to both Republican senators in the state of Kansas pushing back on Trump. Let's start with Dr. Roger Marshall. Okay, so this is obviously Senator Roger Marshall of Republican. He says I'm going to fight to keep bombardiers over 1,200 Kansas jobs. I've already taken that concern inside the Oval Office. We agree on the mission. Bring more good paying manufacturing jobs back to Wichita. You get the point. Then you have Senator Jerry Moran, another Republican senator from the state of Kansas. He said in a statement that the company's Wichita operation supports a local workforce of more than 1,000 employees who contribute their

talent and expertise to our nation's defense and aerospace capabilities. By the way, aside from employing Americans in America, the company also relies on U.S. manufactured parts for their airplanes. So it's going to harm our economy if Trump actually moves forward with these tariffs. So the part that bothers me about that is as usual Donald Trump doesn't know any homework. So the tariffs are one thing, but the attack on bombardier, wouldn't you check with anyone? I mean, you're the president of the United States. If you want hundreds of staffers at your disposal, before you send out the post, why don't you have one of your lackeys look up, hey, do they have any plants in America? Are any in red states? Is it going to hurt any of my Republican candidates in the midterms if I threaten to destroy these jobs in the middle of Kansas? So instead, he doesn't do it. You're stupid. We're going to kill them. We hate your

candidate. We got you. We're bigger than you. You're your little kid and we're the big boss. We smash you. And then all the Republican senators come on. Go, what are you doing? Yeah. Like this is going to, this is hurting me a lot. There's 1200 jobs in my state with this. Can you please redo this? Nobody knew there was jobs from that company in this country. Yeah, you didn't know because you didn't ask. Why are we making enemies with Canada? Why are we doing this? It's just so utterly stupid. Look, this is just my theory. I could be totally wrong, but it is an educated guess. So I didn't realize until this past weekend that the United States invited Russia to the G20 meeting. And I do think that part of the talks that are taking place between the US and Russia is, yeah, it's about finally getting a peace deal with Ukraine. I don't know how successful that's going to be, but putting that aside. You've probably seen our band in the UK shirt, the one we dropped after the UK government tried to silence the sun.

And the US is trying to find a way to bring Russia back into the economic fold in like a sneaky way. So like we're doing that while simultaneously making enemies with with Canada, I just don't get it. I don't get any of it. Yeah, well, that's because it doesn't make sense. That's why you don't get it. There's nothing to get. So look, I mean, look, first just big picture, think about it. Trump and the entire government is saying basically, Canada's our enemy and Israel's our special ally. Now, Israel costs us $8 trillion in their wars that we fought. They've taken 320 billion from us. They keep making us pay for a genocide. They the whole world is hating us because of Israel. And that's our best friend. And Canada is our

biggest enemy. No, you're not going to get anybody to believe that. I mean, maybe the bottom of the barrel if it exists in Mago might be like, yeah, yeah, the Canadians are the real problem. If we just start eight more wars for Israel, then all these problems will be solved. And if we attack Canada and Mexico and Greenland and Denmark and England and every ally we have and destroy them on behalf of Israel or whatever, like okay. But most rational people don't think that. And by the way, I don't want you to mistake what I'm saying. This Canada thing has nothing to do with Israel. I'm just contrasting like one has done great damage to us and we keep calling them our best friend. The other one is actually our best friend has done no damage to us, has done nothing wrong against us. And we're wildly attacking in them. And especially the propaganda bothers me because we're not allowed to touch any special allies. Moscow has said that he would not hold human our allies accountable for human rights abuses. Now that he's in charge of the Middle East Committee.

So you could do crimes against humanity. And if you're a special ally, that's okay. But if you're Canada our best friend, you can't even be neutral. You have to somehow fulfill Donald Trump's fantasies. It's crazy. It's absolutely insane. And guys, just to give you an idea, last year in 2025, the US exported $333.6 billion worth of goods to Canada and imported $381.9 billion worth of goods from Canada. Canada is not an enemy. In fact, it's one again, our most important trade partner. And we are now making an enemy out of an ally for no reason at all. After Trump on multiple occasions already renegotiated tariffs with Canada. So like imagine how annoying that is. To negotiate again and again, come to an agreement and then Trump out of nowhere decides, you man, not good enough. The USMCA not good enough. We're going to bring you back to the negotiating table for no reason at all just because honestly, we're speculating. But you think it's

because he wants income tax. He wants to replace the income tax with tariffs, which he has said that before on the record. The other thing is, I genuinely believe that he is using tariffs to carve out special little deals for himself when it comes to companies that he's heavily invested in. Because he tries to get these little carve outs for very specific US corporations as it pertains to tariffs. So is any of that going on right now? I don't know. But if you just look at this on a surface level, none of it makes sense. Yeah, last couple of things on that. So don't forget, guys, after the tariffs are overruled and they were recently, what the Trump administration has done is instead of giving back the tariffs to the people who paid it, which is you guys, American consumers, we all paid it, right? He's giving it to the companies instead and the companies are keeping 100% of it. So this has become some sort of loophole to allow Trump to funnel back hundreds of billions of dollars to his corporate donors on top of the tariffs that are punishing our economy.

So there's a scam around every corner. Like there's everything he does is fraudulent and for a completely different reason and all for himself. And then I, Uzana, different showed earlier today, and I got into a debate with a woman who supports Trump on this stuff. And she was saying, yeah, no, no, we should punish Canada. But don't worry, it's not going to have any negative consequences because we're bigger than them. Well, we're bigger than them. And yes, we might be able to hurt others more. But I want to tell the dumpster fire end of MAGA, just hurting other people is not a good in and of itself. Like they seem to think it's like something that's moral. We can hurt the Canadians. To what end? Why are we hurting them? And can they hurt us back? Yes, especially on aluminum. And right now, Canada has not done all the tariffs yet. They are acting like a Ron proportional. And at some point, they're going to say, all right, forget it. Let's, if they're

doing Americans doing all tariffs, we're going to do tariffs on everything. And then I guarantee you, Trump comes back and cries like a little baby and he stuffs the taco down his throat and goes, oh, yeah, but we're going to need aluminum. We need to deal on that. No one knew that we need to do it. Can you do an aluminum? No, only morons like you don't know. Okay? And so at that point, what if Canada goes, no, no, I don't care that you want to unwind it. I don't want to do the deal with you on aluminum. You're either going to take away all the tariffs or I'm not going to give you the aluminum, the steel, the cars. I'm not going to give you any of it. And so okay, you hurt me more congratulations. But we're not backing down. And so the lady today, I was debating today, she just kept like belittling the Canadians like, we'll show them. Why? Why are we showing the Canadians how much we can hurt them? What a moniacal administration this is. Yeah, by leaning into the bully culture, what we do is we end up hurting ourselves. And I don't

think she realizes that yet, but she'll find out soon enough. And she thinks that after they experienced enough pain, that they'll give us everything we want. Okay, look guys, I mean, I interact with Canadians all the time, partly because we're in an international show, partly because I go to Canada, the Canadians are not going to back down. They've been flowing out. Yeah, you're not, you don't, they don't get it. They're so arrogant. It's unbearable. No, the Canadians would rather go bankrupt than back down to Trump. So good luck with that stupid strategy. Any second now, the Canadians and the Iranians are both going to give up and say, oh, daddy, Trump, you're our lord and savior. We bounties. They're never going to do that. What they're actually doing is they are creating new trade alliances. And that can't be undone. Let's say Trump does back out. Let's say there is a taco moment when it comes to these tariffs. Well, new trade alliances have been formed and our farmers, our manufacturers

end up getting harmed. So yeah, and the bully tactics are stupid. And I think that we should use retaliatory measures against countries that are trying to hurt us, not countries that have do to fully worked alongside us, whether it's trade or other, you know, other ventures. So that's where we're at right now. We do have to take a quick break. When we come back for the second hour though, you do not want to miss it. I think it's going to be one of our best hours because we're going to talk about this giant expose from Harretz in regard to what the Israeli government knew in the lead up talk, tober 7th. And then later in the show, we will talk about the use of weaponized race in order to try to hurt people on the left, candidates on the left. That what happened over the weekend is in raging and I can't wait to share that story with you. So come right back. We'll be back in a few minutes.

Let's try. But I'm so bad at tech. So wait, should I do this thing of the hashtag business? Andrew, you're still on, right? Yep. Oh, I see it. You crazy. Oh wait, I don't see it. Here we go. I actually did not realize that you could be such a good real time, but I love it. How much do people actually normally say? Yeah, the average American is going to say between $500 and $1,000 a year on Noble. Yeah, no, you know what I'm going to do, Andrew? Are you ready to become a noble member? The two buttons are doing it and go back. There's no going back. We're doing it. We're doing it. Here we go. Noble, noble. Oh my gosh, I just called you and are you now on Noble and not Verizon? Why didn't you tell me it was going to be super easy? I know, man. Now you just stay away from your phone and watch the money roll in. I can do that. There you go. Oh yeah. What the fuck? Jake, you're still there? Andrew? Oh, at least I got Noble mode.

our back on the young Turks, Chankinana with you guys, and Melody loves music. Thank you for gifting five subs on YouTube. We love you for it. Hit the join button below if you can or TYT.com slash join. We need as many of you as possible to keep the show going in very tough times. Okay, but let's keep going. Let's do the story. So I've been Israel many times. The whole country is a fortress. When I first heard this story, I still have the same gut instinct that I did initially. I found out that I was going to be a little bit more careful. I did initially. I find this very hard to believe. I've been to that Gaza border. You cannot go 10 feet without running into a 19 year old with an AR-15 or an automatic machine gun that's an IDF soldier. Right, the whole country is surveilled. Was there a stand-down order? Was there a stand-down order? Now, that was a couple of days after October 7th. Way to see other things that Charlie Kirk said on that day. But you're not allowed to ask those questions. Well, Charlie's not

around to ask those questions anymore. And now there's even more evidence overwhelming evidence that Benjamin Netanyahu definitely knew about October 7th and chose not to do anything. And it comes not from us, but from the Israeli press. And I tell you so all about it. Well, the notion of four knowledge might sound incredibly offensive to you. But the facts are the facts, and we should dig into this story because this massive expose by Horretz does quote several Israeli officials, including individuals within the Israeli military. And just to answer the question posed by Charlie Kirk in that video, was there a stand-down order? Well, I choose to believe the IDF soldiers who have testified on camera that they had a stand-down order, which is why it took hours, as long as six hours for the IDF to respond on October 7th. Now, with that in mind, let's get to this expose by Horretz because we are learning some damning details from this publication.

So in late September of 2023, so weeks before October 7th took place, Netanyahu actually received a dire warning about Hamas from the president of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed, or MbZ. So according to three anonymous foreign senior sources, bin Zayed called Netanyahu to warn him that Hamas leader who is now dead, okay, Israel killed him, Yahya, Sinwar was planning a massive attack on Israel. So an advisor to bin Zayed, who overheard this conversation, this call between Netanyahu and MbZ, stated the following. The Emir explained that in his assessment, Sinwar was preparing for a major event, he told Netanyahu that Israel should be ready. Concurrently, he recommended trying to find an economic solution for the strip

and claiming the West Bank to prevent, or calming, I should say, and calming the West Bank to prevent escalation. So here's where things start to get real weird, okay? So bin Zayed urged Netanyahu to take the situation seriously and to his surprise, the Prime Minister reacted with relative calm. Now here's the real question before I get to more details from this report. Did he react with relative calm? Because he knew this attack was coming and that he could exploit it for his own purposes, namely everything we've seen transpire in the Middle East ever since. The annihilation of the Palestinian people in Gaza, flattening Gaza. The ethnic cleansing that continues to take place in the West Bank, the destruction of dozens of villages and southern Lebanon. This is the greater Israel project in motion. This is what we've been warning you guys all about. And would you Israeli say,

anytime you point that out? What about October 7th? What about October 7th? Just keep in mind that what they are doing when they say that is they are exploiting the dead bodies of the victims of October 7th in order to call for more annihilation, more war, more slaughter, more genocide, more ethnic cleansing. So let's get to more details here. So in response, Netanyahu allegedly claimed that Hamas was actually planning an assault on the West Bank, okay? And that assault was going to come from the West Bank, not from Gaza. They were worried about Gaza according to them. Can I just say real quick enough that I actually am worried that he purposely said the West Bank to distract the troops away from the Gaza border? I believe it 100%. I personally believe that. He says you'll see here there's actually three different people that I told Netanyahu, no, they're going to attack from Gaza and it's Hamas, it's not the West Bank. And he's like, yeah, let's send all of our resources

to the West Bank instead. Yep, and that's what he did, by the way. Binsayet, Urj Netanyahu, to take the situation seriously to his surprise, however, the Prime Minister reacted with relative calm. Can you imagine that? Like, the Israelis are the most neurotic, paranoid people literally on the planet. So you get this warning, and this wasn't the only warning. I'm going to get to the other intel that we've already talked about on the show in previous episodes. And he ignored all of it, really? That's strange. Okay, let's get to more of this. And this wasn't the only warning. So the Israelis received other warnings previously. So a similar call reached the Prime Minister's bureau in those days from the Egyptian intelligence chief, General Abbas Kamel, who warned Netanyahu of something unusual, a terrifying operation about to be launched by Hamas. Now remember, Hamas doesn't exist in the West Bank. They're in Gaza. So why would they specify Hamas and Netanyahu's response to it? It's like, no, no, I'm worried about the West Bank. Okay, journalist Samadhar Perry recounts that Netanyahu also told Kamel.

In Gaza, we are in the picture, we are in control. Our problem is with the West Bank. And that's where we are also diverting forces. And there it is. Yes, okay. So it's also important to remember that those two warnings that Netanyahu ignored, that the Israeli government ignored, that these Israeli military ignored, weren't the only warnings. It's important to remember that like less than two months after October 7th happened, the New York Times of all places. Published a report, this is on November 30th of 2023, Israel knew Hamas' attack plan more than a year ago, a blueprint reviewed by the Times laid out the attack in detail, Israeli officials dismissed it as aspirational and ignored specific warnings. So by the way, that blueprint, Hamas followed like perfectly. So everything that was in that blueprint, that the Israelis obtained a year in advance, Hamas actually carried out, like perfectly on October 7th.

And the Israeli military and intelligence officials had dismissed it as aspirational when the document had circulated. They said that experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamas' capabilities. Yeah, so again, even if that's true, that's their racism, damning them, right? Oh, these dumb Arabs, they can't figure it out. They wanted to happen, that's what I think, that's my opinion. But yeah, but I doubt that's the case. I actually agree with Anna, and here, and to be fair. It's disgusting, I think. And so this is interesting, and I don't know if it's true or not, depends on who's leaking to herettes and what their agenda is, etc. But in the story, they claimed that Shinbet and Masad were not made aware of both the UAE and Egyptian warnings by Netanyahu, Netanyahu, kept out to himself. Now it's not that Shinbet didn't know, so they have this one person who worked with Hamas to do the negotiations. And he had told the UAE, but he also eventually told Shinbet.

And the leaders of Shinbet at the time now say, well, we would have acted if Netanyahu had given us the second warning, right? And the second warning would have caused us to mobilize. But since we never got that second warning, we didn't. So up to you on whether you believe Shinbet and Masad on that, but they're basically throwing Netanyahu under the bus saying, yeah, we had one warning, but we didn't know all that Netanyahu knew. So is it just Netanyahu that did all this, or was it them all working together to allow an attack? Because remember, that story has one giant hole in it about how Masad et cetera didn't know. Then how could you not know the stand down order the IDF gave? Everybody had to know that, right? And the IDF soldiers are on tape saying, yeah, we got a stand down order between 5.30 and 9 o'clock. The attack was at 6.30 in the morning, right? And then it takes six to seven hours to show up. So did no one in Shinbet and Masad asked Netanyahu,

why did it take you seven hours to get to a place we can get to in 45 minutes? So I want to go to a video. This video is very important and I've got other statements from Israeli officials in just a moment. But before we get to that, let's go to this video which dates back to October 8th of 2023. This is Benjamin Netanyahu talking about how he envisions war with Iran. Take a look. I'm Shalameen, Israeli. This is a very important day in October that we have been doing this for a long time. I said, this is October 8th. The news that in the end we will be able to see Iran, if we can see the news and we can see the situation, we can see the situation, the situation, the situation, the situation, the situation, the situation. For audio listeners, don't worry, I've got your back. I'll read a transcript of what he said in that video. Let's go to graphic 15 please. Our achievements are unbelievable. I mean, who would have believed on October 7th, that was literally the day before, that we would change the face of the Middle East?

I did. I said it on October 8th and my intention was that in the end we would clash with Iran, the head of the octopus, and we would cut off the arms, hit and wound the access of evil, and we did it very powerfully. If the Palestinian authorities security mechanisms and related bodies initiate, or we know with certainty that they are about to initiate a terror attack in the style of October 7th against Israeli forces and Jewish settlements, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I have instructed the military to prepare for the opening of a full-scale war. So the second graphic I read is actually a statement from Israel Cats. And basically what he's doing there is previewing more destruction that Israel is going to carry out with this false notion that they had to do it because of the threat posed by the Palestinians. But going back to Netanyahu's statement, Jank, when you know how he was alerted about Hamas' plans, when you know that he intentionally ignored it, dismissed it.

And then after the fact, he literally references October 7th in order to preview war with Iran and the remaking of the Middle East. What does that lead one to believe? Yeah, Netanyahu, it's not unclear. And he has said in the past about how, oh America, one day, he said this many years ago, one day you'll get hit and you'll know what we have to deal with, and then you will do the things that we want you to do. Right? So it's not like he hasn't taken advantage of catastrophes before to drive people on to further and further wars. Like 9-11? And it's not like he doesn't know that that's the phenomenon that happens. People get really mad and once they get really mad, they want more and more war. Like 9-11? And it's not like, I don't know about that, but I do know this. I know what happened on October 7th. So said that 9-11 was good for the Israelis. He said that. He said that. He said that. So you can look it up. And so he thinks these kind of catastrophes, and he's on the record of saying, are good for Israel, right?

Now you say, but even if it happens to Israel, look, they have the doctrine that says, and we showed you on tape them talking about it on October 7th, shoot the hostages, their own hostages. Okay, so they don't care about their own civilians. In fact, later in the story, same Haretz stories, again, from the Israeli press. They talk about how Hamas offered up to civilian hostages right away. Yes, can I reach those graphics, yes. Can I reach those graphics, yes. Can I reach those graphics, yes. And then he gets to that in a second. And Nanya, who didn't want them, that is very, very curious, right? So, but the Israel Cats part is super important, guys, because that, now, he said that today, now they're previewing what they're going to do to the West Bank. And they're setting up the same kind of excuse. We could get an October 7th like event from the West Bank, or we could pretend, I mean, anticipate an October 7th like event that requires us to murder everyone in the West Bank and take that land too.

And if you're saying, Jen, come on, is it really because of the land? Yes. Well, they took 70% of Gaza. And Nanya, who was super excited on October 8th, we're going to cut off the arms, meaning Hamas, Hasbala, et cetera, from Iran. And we're going to use it to our advantage, and they did. So, we're not saying it, he said it. And so are they going to do that again to the West Bank, given what they're saying now, almost definitely. And by the way, of course, as always, our politicians go, oh my God, can we please pay for it? We'd love it if we could pay for another slaughterhouse, and our media will say if you're not anti-Semitic, you will help them slaughter the Palestinians, because there was kind of maybe an attack from the West Bank, right? And maybe, by the way, Anna, they might be setting this up for, we should have acted in advance for October 7th. So now we're going to act in advance in the West Bank and slaughter them before they even do anything. I mean, that's what they do already. But going back to what you had referenced earlier, Jank, about the hostages, because remember, every time we called for a ceasefire, what you would hear from the Zionist agents here in the United States, is they got to return the hostages.

Well, Hamas did actually offer to return the hostages. And again and again and again, by the way, not once, not twice, but several times. Now what's really interesting is what anonymous senior source from the Israeli government spoke to her, and said the following. Actually, this isn't Israeli defense official, said the following, graphic 10. To be honest, the issue of the hostages was not seriously on the agenda at this stage. And no one at the military or political level was open to discussing the proposal. So the proposal to essentially have a ceasefire in order to return the hostages, the release of the hostages did not even enter the list of war objectives formulated by the government on the night of October 7th. Could the proposal have been properly discussed and a decision reached in substantive terms the answer is yes. But the prevailing mood was like after Pearl Harbor, we had just suffered a brutal blow.

We were in the midst of a war or of war, who had the bandwidth to talk about stopping the fighting and starting negotiations. Now, even if it was to save the lives of dozens of people whose final number was still unknown, then you have a Colonel, Colonel Doron Hayder, who stated, given the situation with the other side also stunned with Hamas alarmed by the international public relations damage created by the images of hundreds of hostages, elderly, frightened women and crying children, we could create an agreement framework within reach if we wished. It wouldn't be difficult to later argue that Hamas violated it and launched an attack. So he even pressed Netanyahu's foreign policy adviser to make a deal but was told the following. There will be no deal here. This is ISIS referring to the Palestinians. They are murderers. They will get nothing. Change your mindset, Doron. So that was super interesting because that Doron Hayder, the IDF Colonel, said on several occasions, and he's on the record is saying it.

Look, I don't understand why we wouldn't do this deal. It's so simple. We get all of our civilian hostages back and then we violate the deal the next day. He's not hiding it. He's like, we do it all the time. And then we know what we do. We murder Yaya Sinoir afterwards and say it was his fault and just come up with an excuse for violating the deal, right? And besides which in that case Hamas wasn't offering a deal. They were just offering the civilians back because they thought it was bad PR, right? They didn't ask for anything in return. I'm not saying that. Herets, Israeli press is saying that. Israeli officials are saying that. And so, and Netanyahu said, I don't want him. His whole government, I don't want him even if it's free. They're scumbags. Because you know why? Because they don't care about anything other than the project of Zionists. Because they wanted to exploit those hostages. They wanted to exploit Israeli hostages, okay?

To annihilate Palestinians and Muslims and Christians in the region. In order to pursue the Greater Israel project, that's what they did. They desecrated those hostages. That's what the Israeli government did under the leadership of Benjamin Netanyahu. And they have the audacity to pretend as though they're the good guys. One in reality they're genociders and they don't even care about their own people. With the Hannibal directive being deployed on October 7th, the Israeli military killed Israelis. Okay, that's what they did. They shot at and killed Israeli citizens. So look, we try to look at this as objectively as we can. And again, this is not our information. It's heredits information. And it's not like Hamas was doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They took the hostages in the first place and they offered up not any of the IDF soldiers and only civilians that were under the age of 18 or over the age of 50. But given how specific that offer was and given how many Israeli kernels and officials are confirming it.

So it's now totally inarguable that Netanyahu purposely did not want the hostages back. And so, and it gave you the specific reason they wanted as an excuse. Oh my God, Hamas won't give the hostages back. We have to murder 23,000 Palestinian kids. We don't have a choice. They're hiding the hostages behind the kids. That's why we killed the kids. But then if they're hiding in behind the kids and you kill the hostages too. None of it ever made any sense, right? It was always an excuse. But what I was getting at is, so it's hard for us to understand, since we're not in a radical cult. But radical cults value the mission of the cult so much more than even their own cult members. The cult members are expendable. They could drink the Kool-Aid and all die. It's okay. I mean, we see that here with the people who continue to support Trump regardless of the fact that he's reneged on all his promises. And is harming them economically. I mean, you'll be 100 examples of cults, right? But in this case, to them, first of all, they hide behind Jewish civilians nonstop.

They say, oh, we're going to do a genocide, but it's not our fault. It's Jews fault. Well, Jews across the world didn't vote on it. Jewish Americans didn't vote on it. Like, Jewish Americans are opposed to it right now, right? But they hide. No, no, no, no. They say, it's not Israel. It's not the Israeli government. It's the Jews. They sound like neo-Nazis is super weird, okay? Then number two now, even their own Israeli citizens. They're like, yeah, but if it allows us to take more land for greater Israel, then Zionism grows. And Zionism is more important than any of individuals within our country. So that's why it might sound shocking. They're willing to let Israelis die for the expansion of Israel. But if you're a fascist, you think Hitler minded the other Germans dying? The German soldiers dying? The German cities getting bombed? He didn't care. He didn't care at all, right? Because fascists don't think rationally like that. They just think expansion, expansion, more militered conquest. And that's exactly how Netanyahu is. So he's like, oh, our hostages are going to get murdered.

On October 7th, they're going to murder all of these Israelis. By the way, you know that the concert that they had there, they were they took so many hostages and killed so many people, they had asked for permission to continue extend the concert. And even though the Israeli government knew that there might be an attack near the border, they said, yeah, keep going with the concert. I just... Please get to know the evil people who lead the Israeli government. Get to know them and stop giving them the benefit of the doubt because they don't deserve it, especially at this date. We got to take a break when we come back. More news, including an unbelievable orchestrated attack against a Nigerian Palestinian journalist for speaking out against Hakeem Jeffries, a corrupt genocide supporter. We'll be right back. They knew and they let it happen.

All right, guys, we're also on Ex Now, Brian says love, jank, and Anna, Brandon says big respect, jank, for Shas' real journalism. I appreciate all you guys. By the way, if you're watching us on Ex, like the stream, share the stream, makes a big difference. We appreciate you guys. Now, we go to Super Chat, Michael Cotevelli says, Israeli Hasbra are having a protest outside the USA headquarters in New York City right now, protesting what they call the red green alliance and mom Donnie wanted to appear on 9-11, 25th anniversary ceremonies, red green meaning socials in Islam. Yeah, they're trying that. It's by the way, if you're here, red green alliance, that's an Israeli asset talking. That's just a made up garbage like the somehow communist who are atheists are going to join up with Muslim fundamentalist who hate atheists.

It's just a total fantasy land. That's why mainstream media doesn't question and they're like, red green alliance, it's so obviously true. It's an Israel told me it's true, et cetera. It's just garbage. And now they're all bigots attacking mom Donnie, like, how dare he come to 9-11? Why? Because he's Muslim. These are the same people who are like, oh, he's 17-12, I'm so worried about bigotry. And they're like, yeah, let's be bigots towards mom Donnie. He should be allowed down here. He's a Muslim. I'm doing some Muslim. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all these Israeli supporters are the biggest racists in the country. Racists, they're like, oh, we murdered the Palestinians. We occupied the Palestinians, but they're inferior to us. So their lives don't matter. That is the worst form of racism I have ever seen in my lifetime in this country. We'll be back. I like tacos. All right, we're back on TYT, Janganana with you guys. So let me tell you about one of our sponsors, but they were all, we also used them. So it's Shopify. We use them for shop TYT.com.

They're excellent. We tried everybody else. They're the best there is. And they put everything in one place for you. They got hundreds of templates. You could build a beautiful site. Look, I originally built an online store, and I don't know anything, right? And we did it through Shopify. So a million years ago, and we've been with them ever since they have a shop pay button that makes it way easier to check out. And that really helps you. So if you're setting up a shopper of business online, you'd be crazy not to use Shopify. So Shopify.com slash TYT. That's Shopify.com slash TYT or use IQR code. All right, let's go to our next story. Situation Palestine is a moral emergency. Well, the National government is doing Gaza is a stain on the conscience of the world. And there's increasing evidence war crimes are being committed. And we're witnessing unprecedented settler terrorism in the West Bank. And what does the established Democrat party, Hakeem Jaffrey by name his name is Hakeem. Hakeem in Arabic is an Arabic name, which means healer. He's not a healer. He's a divider.

He is a bot and paid by APEC monkey with all the respect. And I don't mean it in a racist way. He is just basically an Aaron boy. And we're done and tired of that Americans deserve better. So that was really Jibril. And that has created a maelstrom of fake controversy and people pretending to be offended. I'll end the whole thing for you here, but then we'll give you the whole story, including all the fakers and posters. Roolas Jibril is half Palestinian. And first of all, as a person who suffered through a genocide and her family suffered through a genocide. You can say whatever the hell she likes about the people committing and supporting and financing that genocide. And I don't give a goddamn what you think about it. And but much more importantly in this context, she's half Nigerian. That means she's black. So all these people pretending that she's racist are giant liars. All right, Anna, tell us. Even worse are the individuals who insist on engaging in the struggle sessions on this matter. Please don't do that because she did nothing wrong.

So let's get into the details here because context does matter. Attacking someone and calling them a monkey because of the color of their skin is racist. But that's not what she did and everyone knows that. So here are the details. She is an award winning journalist who actually specializes in foreign affairs and immigration rights issues. She was born in Haifa Israel. Haifa Palestine now considered Israel and grew up in the old city of Jerusalem. Now her father was born in Nigeria. Her mother was born in Palestine. So that is her background, her heritage. And she's often identified as being part of the Afro Palestinian community. Something that many of her attackers online claimed doesn't exist. That Afro Palestinian is not a thing when it's what? Yeah, yeah. So they attack her for being racist while engaging in their own form of racism. That doesn't get called out by anybody. No, no, that's funny because I was going to make the point. They're invalidating her identity.

They sure are. You're like, you're not black enough to say what you want about black people or something along those lines, which has been I cool to begin with. But I didn't even hear that they're saying that her identity doesn't exist. They want to erase. I would then I would say, you know what whoever said that, you're a billion times more racist. They are. And there's no question about it. And I'll get later to who the biggest racist in the country is, spoiler alert Zionist. Yes, now again, she has always identified as Afro Palestinian and after she was attacked by individuals who were denying her identity, she posted this on X. My sisters, Ronia and Raya and my niece is Ron and Razon, beg to disagree with your opinion that we are white women. It's always astounding when someone with no access to our family tree, ignore our Afro Palestinian history or our ethnicity appoints themselves the registrar of who we are.

Now last Tuesday, she was a guest on Wajahat Ali's substack to discuss A-Packs hold over US politicians, our political system. And that includes of course the Democratic Party. And as we know, Hakeem Jeffries is deeply corrupt, should not be the next speaker of the house, should Democrats take control of the house. And I believe that what you're about to learn about and what transpired over the weekend is really about setting the stage and conditioning people's minds to avoid attacking Hakeem Jeffries because if you do, you're racist. It's the same thing that Zionist deploy when it comes to attacking Israel as it commits ethnic cleansing and genocide. You can't do that because that would make you a Jew hater. So weaponizing identity essentially for political purposes. It's cynical and it's disgusting. And it hurts the cause of fighting racism. Yeah. Because a bunch of people bought off by A-Pack and I don't give a goddamn what race you're in. You're still an Aaron boy. Yes.

No matter if you're white, black, Asian, Indian, I don't care. I care that you're an Aaron boy for a different country. And don't come talking to us about racism. When you support the kind of racism that murders people. Oh, it's a big deal to murder Palestinian kids, right? Did you get paid enough by A-Pack, Hakeem Jeffries, and all the supporters in Washington? You dare talk about racism after you want to finance the slaughter of Palestinians based on their race, that they are inferior to the Israelis, so their children should be murdered based on their race. And you still want to run your mouth about racism. And you don't even mean it. And you don't mind hurting the cause of fighting racism, as long as the elites in Washington who say, oh, I'm black and I'm untouchable. I'm Jewish and I'm untouchable. Or whatever race or religion they're in. I'm untouchable because I'm on the side of Israel. I'm so gay. No, you are not untouchable. And we're going to criticize you and I don't care what kind of BS you cry.

Oh, racism anti-Semitism. Kiss my ass. You're a billion times more racist. You want to call, keep kissing A-Packs ass. And murdering Palestinian kids based on their race. Is that what you want to do while pretending that you care about racism? Okay. Yeah, I see who you are. This is the energy the left needs to adopt. Okay, because when you give into the mob, when you give into the bad faith attacks, you weaken your argument. But anyway, before we get to, I mean, we can't, it's pouring out of us. We can't help with common on it before we even share all the details. But here's what Rulah said in this conversation with Wajahat Ali, which led to, in my opinion, these totally phony attacks let's watch. We have evidence for you. We have a whole bunch of news items we're going to talk about where we see the biggest political spender in 2026. This is a fact is A-Pack. Yes. A-Pack gave about 30 to 40 million dollars of the 63 million dollars to take out Abdel Sayyed. Democrats welcomed it.

Hakeem Jeffries welcomes A-Pack money, even though A-Pack is being funded by pro-Trump billionaires as openly attacking Democrats. Hakeem Jeffries says no problem. Hakeem Jeffries took A-Pack money and bundled it into other packs to help Centris and Moderates. Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership in the past week, I don't know if you follow the story. They chose three Democrats to sit in the House Foreign Affairs Committee. The three Democrats that they chose folks, you cannot make this up. Jared Moskovitz, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and Wesley Bell, who've all been supported by A-Pack and our pro-Israel Hawks. Make that make sense to me, Rula.

I'm going to look at the first time I've seen a lot of the House of Representatives following the midterms, calling him what she called him. I would have avoided that because of the reaction that you're inevitably going to get. But we live in a post-context world where people are acting as if she targeted him specifically because of his skin color when that is not the case. And that's what the video that I just showed you demonstrates. Let's go to the next one. This is the game we are in. We're under occupation by A-Pack and by the Zionist Genocide Al-Labi that is not working to advance America's interest or America's security. They're working to advance the Genocide Al-State of Israel. Greater Israel Project, General Sidel Project, today in an Israeli newspaper, the Greatest Israeli Reporter Amir Haas talked about the erasure of Palestinian life everywhere between the river and the sea. What Israel is pushing to do is cancel Palestinian completely, completely between the river and the sea.

And those are Israeli Jewish citizens who are saying these things. And what does the established Democrat Party, Hakeem Jaffri by name his name is Hakeem. Hakeem in Arabic is an Arabic name which means healer. He's not a healer, he's a divider. He is a bot and paid by A-Pack monkey with all the respect and I don't mean it in a racist way. So she says I don't mean it in a racist way. People are still offended by her statement pretending as though they don't understand what she was trying to say. So then she takes to ex immediately and here's what she wrote. I am disgusted and horrified that Hakeem Jaffri is taking money from A-Pack amidst Israel's genocide in Palestine. That said, a term that I used to describe him was inappropriate and offensive and should never have been used. I apologize unconditionally. At that point should be end of story but it wasn't end of story. Because of course this had to be exploited by corporate Democrats who happen to be former staffers in some cases of the Biden administration which really helped Israel get started with the genocide against Palestinian people.

And then you also have some elected lawmakers in the Democratic Party going after her as well in a concerted way. And I'm going to show you in just a second. But first of course the California Post, right wing publication exploited this for their own purposes. Palestinian journalist Rula Jabriol calls Hakeem Jaffri as an A-Pack monkey claims she didn't mean it in a racist way. At no point in the article did they mention the fact that she's half Nigerian. So that would have been relevant information. And then they did include a bunch of statements from pro-Israel black members of Congress condemning her including this statement from the Congressional black caucus which happens to be very cozy with A-Pack. I'll prove that to you in just a minute. To be clear there isn't a non-racist way to call leader Jeffries a black man a monkey or errand boy. Yes there is. Watch a hot Ali this is what happens when we hold ourselves to such low standards for what's allowable in our discourse. People get comfortable being openly bigoted. Well you guys get super comfortable.

Eating and abetting and funding picking our freaking pockets. Okay to fund the bigotry and the racism in the Middle East. Any word about that any thoughts about that members of the Congressional black caucus it might. Am I being inappropriate by calling you guys out because you guys happen to be black and I have light skin. Is that the world that we live in where you guys get that immunity. That you want to be treated differently because of the color of your skin even when you engage in bad behavior is that what you want. Yeah I'm not giving into that I'm not giving into that let me give you the rest of it. We have to stop platforming and trafficking and anti black racism there is no anti black racism in that video. And I'm not saying who said it is black you liars you're disgusting liars the person who said it is black. What is this what is this garbage and I'll hit piece okay it's a hit job okay let me just explain why they're doing it and then. Methodism and practices real quick so they did this to me New York Times called me anti Muslim when I ran for office because they wanted to smear Bernie Sanders.

Remember they called Bernie Sanders as we predicted ahead of time they called Bernie Sanders and anti Samite. He's Jewish it doesn't matter because they're going to smear you as an anti Samite or racist if you're opposed to Israel. Now why did they never mention that I grew up Muslim when they were smearing me as anti Muslim by the way do I sound anti Muslim. Now their new conspiracy theory is that I'm secretly a Muslim agent okay but before I was anti Muslim whatever you need to do to smear people and just like in this case they never explained that I grew up Muslim why cuz they don't want you to look at the actual issue that's the number one thing. Did you hear what Arula said she made a terrific point about Nanny how he didn't just say from the river to the sea. He did from the river to the sea and other Israelis of great writers two dozen generals two former prime ministers are saying we're committing a genocide from the river to the sea. Now of course American media and the congressional black caucus don't want you to see that cuz they are funded by A-PAC and by the Israeli lobby overall or their own in the case of the media by the people who fund the Israeli lobby.

Literally the same exact people right so they don't want you to to notice how evil the Israeli government is and how racist there doesn't get any more racist. Because they take money does it get any more racist than murdering people based on their race. Would the Israelis have murdered 23,000 Israeli kids Jewish kids no everybody knows they wouldn't have done that but their Palestinians their lives don't matter so slaughter them and then you get a bunch of paid Aaron boys to come in and I'm going to say to come in and I don't care if it's Mike Huckabee or Ted Cruz. Am I being anti Latino by calling out Ted Cruz as an Aaron boy okay and Hakeem Jeffries and whoever the hell else I don't care what your race or religion is at all you're like no you have to care unless you care about my race you're a racist no that's the exact opposite. And we're done listening to your crap the most important thing guys and I've got a million other things to say but these don't what I need you to understand is the congressional black caucus is a bunch of elitist who work in Washington and take endless donor money.

They don't represent actual black people. Okay and then in just like Democrats other white Democrats don't represent their voters they represent their donors. See what unites them is not oh they're white and they're black no what unites both of those groups is that their corrupt yes okay and so the white legislators don't care about white or black voters in the black legislators don't care about white or black voters all they care about is my money. Oh you can't say that about black people what so I can say it about white people. I can say it about Latinos but I can't say it about black people. I can say it about Muslims but I can't say it about Jews. Who made up these rules. All right the elites who are pretending to represent there's no conflict between Arabs and black people. They're trying to create a conflict between Arabs and black people trying to make sure that you don't get united because if you get united you might be opposed to their donors who they take money from. They take bribes from. Last thing that's important in that context congressional black caucus is not a unified whole.

So there are progressives within the black caucus that are great progressives and don't engage in this stuff okay but the corporate establishment Democrats that lead the congressional black caucus are among the most corrupt people in Washington not because they're black but because they take tons and tons of donor money and betray black voters on behalf of their donors. That's why they try to distract you and go, oh let's be racist against Muslims. That'll be the right way to fight racism. Sure. No you can kiss my ass. We're not going to apologize to anyone over this. They should oppose. Where's that Kim Jeffery's going to apologize for all the Palestinian kids that he helped murder with the financing he helped get for the brutal Israeli government. I demand that apology otherwise he's a racist against Muslims. What happened now? Well he is a racist. That is true. That is true. But everyone in media will ignore that. Look, because they're all racist. They don't think Muslim lives matter at all. Right? Put me wrong cable news. Care once about Muslim lives. Never instead they'll be like oh yeah yeah. Don't shut up. Kill the Muslims. Kill the Muslims. Oh Kim Jeffery's protect him. He's one of the elites. What excuse should we use?

Oh race race will destroy the idea of fighting racism so we can help the black elites exactly. So going back to the congressional black caucus as I promise the receipts in regard to the APAC money that flows into their coffers. More than half of its current 61 members have been endorsed or funded by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee APAC in the 2023-2024 elections cycle alone APAC endorsed 26 of the caucus's members raising $4.6 million for them. And another $3.5 million for black democratic candidates, which helps you understand why it is that Kamala Harris had a real difficult time differentiating herself from Joe Biden when it came to supporting genocide. And in the end she ended up losing the election losing the race. Now I don't think that was the only reason why she lost the race. But I will admit that there were plenty of people who backed Kamala Harris who were super salty toward the Arab community because they didn't want to vote in favor of someone from an administration who had funded the slaughter of their people in the Middle East.

But anyway, Richie Torres jumps in because of course he did one of the biggest recipients in Congress of that APAC money. He says calling a black man a monkey is racist full stop. If Wajahat Ali and Rula were on the far right, no one on the far left would have any trouble condemning them for dehumanizing a black man in racist terms the silence is deafening. Except no it's not all I hear is all of your loud mouths saying it's totally okay to murder Palestinians based on their race. But oh I'm so offended that's all I hear what are you talking about you totally can like you're in kahoot with mainstream media they made this a gigantic story what silence are you talking about. And yes Richie Torres works for the Israelis he's taking what five and a half million six million some two million. Two million. Some absurd millions of dollars from APAC and the Israeli lobby to serve them as a servant. That's what the white servants do that's what the black servants do that's what every servant of Israel does.

And if half the congressional black caucus took money from APAC to serve Israel then half the congressional black caucus is guilty and don't tell me no no they're allowed to do corruption. They're allowed to help murder Palestinians because they're black and you can't criticize them does it look like I'm hesitating by the way attacking will it you're real like that is the equivalent of attacking a Holocaust survivor and calling them racist. Oh so you think your family was murdered in a genocide or in a Holocaust so what I'm going to call you racist for being opposed to the people committing the genocide. Now you've murdered my family members I get to call you whatever that FI want man okay and what you did is a billion times worse and you know it every one of these liars we're not playing their games anymore you should hate them. Everyone who takes money from APAC that helps murder those kids in Gaza you should hate them and I don't give a damn what they're racist and I like I'm Turkish you're going to tell me owner you're not allowed to say certain things about Turks yes I am you're not the boss of me and Dr.

As he's also Turkish if you call them a savage because he's Muslim I'd have an objection to that that would be problematic if you call his actions in the Trump administration savage I wouldn't have any problems with that because it's true yes because it's true and it's related to that context and not because he's Turkish or Muslim that's hard to pick that and that's other thing. The media pretends that's hard to understand. No, what is context I am more on reporter I don't know what context is or you are not allowed to use for bit more stay allowed to murder people but you're not allowed to use certain words even if it's not the right context even if it's apples and oranges. Now come on you're all morons and maybe they are or maybe they're pretending to be morons so they can all make sure you don't know their beloved Nenyahoo did murder from the river. To the sea and he came Jeffries to this days back in look guys if you don't know after he met with Jared Kushner about housing and affordability he then appointed mosquets just like they were talking about on the show the heavy

boss or miss shows and Wesley belt three of the biggest radical Zionist in Congress to be in charge of foreign affairs including mosquets heading the Middle East Committee and mosquets came out right after was and said we will support Israel unconditionally you hear that I wonder if he said boy I wonder if that's how they refer to he came because that would be racist and I would be shocked if they didn't do that. Hey should we get our boy to run an errand for us okay because he does run errands for them he just put all three of those guys in charge in Congress if we if the Democrats win there will be no change in Israeli policy thanks a game that could have helped us win elections 60% of the voters are opposed to Israel but he came Jeffries gave that away he betrayed you because he took money from the Israelis because he's corrupt no matter what racism you don't get to hide anymore. He didn't get to hide anymore he came none of you get to hide you support genocide and you support racism that is so lethal that it's murder 23,000 kids a lynching of epic proportions and you pretend you dare to complain about racism you are the racist look in the mirror.

I mean there's nothing left to be said stop weaponizing race for your cynical political purposes it's not going to work anymore it's really not going to work here and more importantly this is the most important message to the left who I think are well meaning but they fall for it every time stop negotiating with terrorists stop pretending as though these bad faith attacks or something that you need to cave to stop condemning someone you know is not racist and play into the I mean they play into these attacks every single time what's the hell you don't do that how about you understand the person you interviewed on your own damn show and you understand that she's not a racist and didn't engage in a racist attack understand the context in which she used that word. It had nothing to do with this skin color it had everything to do with the fact that a Kim Jeffries is a corrupt piece of crap and a racist and a racist okay because here's the thing the left loves to lose maybe they don't think they love to lose but they sure act like it stop giving them an inch they don't deserve it and they're only going to use it against you by the way by the way every time they use it as an admission of guilt all those corrupt establishment figures who have all taken bribe some of the Israeli lobby all just attack the black woman and pretended that they were doing it to help the issue of racism you all attack the black woman we have eyes and ears we can see we know what ratio is your absurd your love for Israel and the money they give you

is disgusting yeah all right let's let's actually do the UK story now we've got a little more time left and I want to make sure we cover this is going to be the situation Palestine is a moral emergency well the National government is doing Gaza is a stain on the conscience of the world and there's increasing evidence war crimes appear to have been committed and we're witnessing unprecedented settler terrorism in the West Bank the British government has come to the same conclusion as a first prime minister of Israel and others that there is ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in areas of the West Bank perpetrated by settler terrorists and too often the Israeli government has turned a blind eye to this and worse members of it have made statements and taken actions to support the forced displacement of Palestinians we will not stand by well the UK certainly has no problem violating the rights of their own citizens on behalf of Israel kind of shocking to see that the UK is now calling out Israel's obvious ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in the West Bank which of course in typical fashion the Israelis have responded to by having panic attacks and threatening the UK in all sorts of ways which will get to in just a minute

but they are thugs these are and we'll see how the UK is going to respond to that thuggery again they had no problem violating the rights of their own citizens violating their freedom of expression in an effort to appease the Israelis but the video that you just watched featured Ed Miliband he's the UK's Secretary of State for foreign and Commonwealth affairs he announced that the UK will be implementing sanctions specifically against Israeli settlements settlements illegal settlements settlements in which Israeli terrorists drove Palestinians out of their own rightful homes and built their illegal settlements and they keep doing it again and again and again the UK finally decided you know what following years of witnessing this happen we're going to do some sanctions against products that are made from from these Israeli settlements and Israel freaked out so these sanctions would ban imports from Israeli settlements built on Palestinian territory the official view of the British government is that the occupation of the West Bank is unlawful the government believes the unlawfulness of the occupation should be reflected in the economic relationships we choose or chose to have with the occupied territories

and then he doubled down on his decision in a video uploaded on x take a look our North Star is our belief in the two state solution the both the Israeli and Palestinian people have a right to self determination freedom and security today we're calling out the occupation of Palestine is unlawful we're banning the import of goods from illegal settlement we're taking action on services to target those who finance facilitate or construct new settlements and we're banning advertising of settlement properties and land we're taking action to on settler terrorism the action we're taking today is against the government of Israel not its people and just to ensure that everyone is fully informed on how narrow these sanctions really are let's go to graphic three we're CNBC reports Millibans said the UK would also extend a ban on arms exports to include refusing all license applications for arms and other goods and services that materially contribute to the occupation in the West Bank by the Israeli terrorists the settlers

okay this is not a ban on products made in Israel although I think that Israel should be boycotted fully nonetheless he called this an effective double lock against arms sales after the UK suspended over 30 arms licenses used by the IDF in Gaza but all in all this is part of a 12 country ban on trade with Israeli illegal Israeli settlements Denmark Finland Iceland Ireland Norway Poland Portugal Spain and Sweden also joined in on this which I'm really happy to see I wish they would go further now Israel's reaction as you can imagine jank was they weren't happy oh no boo hoo I wonder if I should care about their feelings I bet all of our media say that their feelings are more important than the lives of Palestinians I wouldn't be surprised I don't care if you're interested in the media in the US oh you're feeling they're unfair so we want to be able to murder Palestinian kids but you have to care about our feelings no I don't

so Israel has announced plans to shut down the US consulate in Jerusalem I'm sorry the UK consulate my apologies UK consulate don't threaten us with a good time in jur I know right in Jerusalem in response to the UK's decision this is one of four countermeasures that are being implemented by Israel's foreign minister Gideon saw according to the BBC by the way others include the removal of British representatives from the international Gaza support center the termination of British activities to train Palestinian authority forces in the West Bank and the denial of entry to Israel 12 British elected representatives and other British nationals I love that that's my favorite threat from the Israelis like no one wants to go to your stanky ass country you guys are genocidal lunatics and anyone who wants to visit there for like tourism or any other means is crazy but they're like oh we're not going to let you we're not going to let you come to Israel okay great again don't threaten me with a good time yeah I do recently talked to my wisdom so we went to Jerusalem to see the moss he said oh the racism is over the time they treat Muslims like absolute dirt and then we've talked to Christians and interviewed them here they get spit on when they go to Israel

like oh you stupid Christian how dare you they spit all over the Christians who would want to go to a disgusting fascist country like that you also have Israeli president Isaac Herzog slamming this decision he argued that the UK is trying to interfere with Israeli elections all the Israelis ever do is interfere with everyone's elections I mean it is all we have crime a river man yeah oh boo we don't we give him get the medal in your country and we get to ban jank and Hassan from coming to the UK but you can't dare use anything about us you're trying to affect us yeah they're trying to affect you from from not slaughtering kids anymore because I know what for the Israelis that's anti-Semitic if they're not allowed to slaughter you so as of this moment it could change by the time we publish this video president Trump is not responded to any of this news however US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee who has actually referred to these Israeli settlers as terrorists himself said that you know there will be consequences if the United Kingdom actually follows through with these sanctions

doing something like this with Israel could have a huge economic impact on British businesses he said warning they could be banned from doing business in a number of US states yeah no what is the what is the US have to do with this number one in fact we should be boycotting Israel as a whole of course that would never happen under the leadership we have now but in the very least shouldn't we do sanctions against the very people that you referred to as terrorists ambassador Huckabee shouldn't we no so look we're occupied that's why we're that's why the Israeli government is speaking for us they're saying hey America boys go and tell the UK they're not allowed to do anything against Israel right and we go why do we give a goddamn about Israel well why would anybody care well don't you think it's pop a new guinea why why what is why do we care about UK's relationship to pop a

new guinea or Israel or Nicaragua what that's because we're owned by Israel we're occupied by Israel you know that what Britain just did is illegal in over 30 US states and now if colleges or universities in America try to do a similar sanctioned movement they will have all of their federal funds pulled from them you can criticize or sanction or boycott America or the UK or any other country in the world the only country you're not allowed to sanction or boycott here in America because I know it's just a quiz the reporters tell us it's just a coincidence they paid millions of dollars to the governors of all those states they're like it's not enough to buy your federal government we need to buy your state governments and if anybody objects to Israel's economy they want to hurt our economy a little bit a tiny bit Christ those Americans they have no rights and our all DeSantis and all the Abbott and all the governors are like yes sir of course sir where's my check coming in sir I'll do anything for Israel sir they pass those laws

you know DeSantis went to Israel to sign one of those laws a law that says he'll punish American citizens and take their first amendment rights away on behalf of Israel and he went to his benefactors and he's like look at me I'm such a good puppet yeah I said puppet I'm such a good bitch for Israel look at me betraying my own voters in Israel on your behalf am I a good boy can I get more treats okay and I'm so I apparently I should apply again to get a visa you came maybe they'll change their minds I doubt it but Anna the most important part of the story is we're past the tipping point I don't know so no no no no I talking to a old friend and reporter he now lives in Europe and he said Jank and you've seen this when you've gone abroad I've seen it when I've gone abroad he said outside of New York DC and LA the entire planet hates Israel and obviously and he's like and no one is hiding no no no hold on hold on he's like it no one's hiding it no one so once you step outside of the American media

bubble like no one's bothering to do these excuses anymore there's not they they've lost track of propaganda everywhere outside of basically those three cities you even lost the UK whether you used to do overwhelming propaganda I'm the victim of that property they haven't lost the UK the UK is happy again happy to violate the rights of its own citizens on behalf of Israel what the UK is doing here as it pertains to the so-called settlers who are really just terrorists is very narrow sanctions very narrow sanctions that Biden himself attempted to implement which were thrown out the window as soon as Trump got elected so I just look as long as the power structures that we currently have in place remain in place as long as the system of greed and corruption remains in place it doesn't matter every single American citizen can load Israel till the end of time we're never going to get true justice we are never going to be a true sovereign country until we unite get our heads together

strategize and find a way to change the current power structures in this country so our government actually represents us because our government works for Israel exactly period and and our media who lies to you and tells you that that's some sort of conspiracy theory and ignores the fact that they've given money to 94% of Congress and is the number one donor to almost every president in our lifetimes that is the media actively hiding the bribes that the Israeli lobby is giving our government officials why are they actively hiding evidence because they also work for Israel and so now they can cry all day long and say oh you guys are all anti-Semitic and we disqualify you your illegitimate and you're not credible it doesn't matter because no one believes mainstream media anymore you're not credible you're not legitimate everybody knows you're disgusting puppets for a different country and so we now ignore you and we laugh at you when we see cable news anchors we're like oh look at those

genocide deniers look at those people who are trying to help a genocide happen that includes every primetime anchor of MS now every primetime anchor of CNN and Fox News all of them are trying to deceive you into doing more genocides on behalf of Israel prove me wrong one of you one of your cable news anchors including on MS now the primetime guys go ahead call it a genocide right they can't call it a genocide because they work for Israel yeah all right we have one more story to do which we're going to do after for operation joy just because it's important to cover and then we're going to do operation joy so let's take a break all right we'll be right back
