Well, welcome to The Young Turks, Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola with you guys. John also does Damage Report. I don't know if you know that. Damage Report's awesome. Check it out every day at 1 o'clock Eastern, right here on YouTube. So Damage Report on YouTube or tyt.com or all of our 24-hour channels. Okay, big news today. So John Fetterman, you know he's lost his mind. We have a poll about whether it's like literal. But some of the allegations today were shocking, nevertheless, even for Fetterman. So we're going to get into that a little bit. Someone finally thinks to ask, hey, you guys all talk about Hassan Baikar, about Laura Loomer.
Of course, all the politicians in the media go, shut up. Okay, how dare you do the same thing we're doing? Okay, what do Iranians think of us? Well, an American went and tried to find out very interesting revelations. You're going to be shocked to find out that Israel first has done another frontal assault on our First Amendment. And Congress has rubber stamped it and they have passed yet another law against Americans very literally and in favor of Israel. because our government is not our own. So we'll get to that a little bit later.
And people are like, why are you obsessed with Israel? I don't know, because they run our government. If Norway ran our government, then I'd be obsessed with them.
Why aren't you talking more about other issues? What difference does it make if we don't run our own government? So you could have all the opinions you want. It's entirely irrelevant. There's only one opinion that matters, Netanyahu's. So we'll prove it later in the program and as we have throughout. And then Trump was one of the most perplexing things he's done on the economy.

**John Iadarola** (1:53)
And that's a hell of a high bar.

**Cenk Uygur** (1:56)
It took me a minute to figure out what the hell he's even talking about.
I'm still not positive. So but apparently it's going to affect the whole world except it's not because he's a lunatic and no one takes him seriously. So that's the state of our country where the entire planet knows our president should be in a mental asylum and it doesn't really matter because he's not our president, the Israeli Prime Minister is.

**John Iadarola** (2:19)
So that's your state of affairs, everybody.

**Cenk Uygur** (2:22)
So that's the fun show we're going to do for you guys today. So you find out what's actually happening in this country and every time guys, we don't just talk, we give you receipts, we give you evidence. And mainstream media goes, I hate your evidence, I despise facts. I'm not going to report any of that, I'm just going to call everyone names.
But I'm the real reporter. No, they're not the real reporters at all. They're fake, they're propaganda, and they almost work for a different country. Okay, so did you want to say something before?

**John Iadarola** (2:50)
Because I believe that you should be able to provide receipts and call people names. That's what I bring to the table.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:56)
I thought that's what I brought to the table.

**SPEAKER_5** (2:59)
That's what I brought to the table, okay.

**John Iadarola** (3:01)
Historically, yeah.

**Cenk Uygur** (3:03)
Well, then let's get started doing that. Here we go.

**John Iadarola** (3:08)
John Fetterman wins.
Fetterman wins up 25 points now. The New York Times has called it as well. John Fetterman going on to represent the Democrats in that Pennsylvania Senate race, which is going to be monumental. Fetterman had all three, populist, progressive and ran on economic issues.

**Cenk Uygur** (3:28)
I guarantee you they win the primary and they win the general election easy.

**John Iadarola** (3:33)
I don't care if it's Trump or DeSantis or anyone else, they win it easy. You got to run just like Fetterman.

**Cenk Uygur** (3:41)
Well, things have taken a turn.
So first of all, running like Fetterman did turn out to be exactly right. Fetterman won and anyone who ran as an economic populist from the left won. In fact, they've won so much, it's really pissing off the establishment as we speak. So that part was correct. Him being an actual populist, progressive, etc., and something you should celebrate was dead wrong. And guys, you see that doesn't take much to just learn and adjust the facts. It's not that big a deal. The only thing on the line is your ego, so what? So was I wrong about Fetterman? Obviously, he's been abysmal, one of the very worst senators, and that is a very high bar. Tuberville's in there. And so, okay, now, The New York Times breaks the story. John's gonna tell you all about it. But the revelations in here are so shocking that even I was like, wait, what?
