There's certainly a lot of truth to the idea that left-wing teachers are indoctrinating kids into a viewpoint on the world that does cross paths into what causes the symptom that is Jew hatred. I think that's for sure true. Honestly, I think that the bigger danger when I look at young people right now is social media. Okay, I love this story because we're going [00:00:20] to show you the longer clip and you're going to see every accusation is a confession. So we look forward to that. And then he accidentally admits how much Israel tries to control the media and does control the media. So yes, tell us about it. All right, so before we go any [00:00:38] further, here's some more of Ben Shapiro's comments. And I want you to pay really close attention to his specific talking points. Let's watch. And if you spent any time on X at all over the course of the last couple of years, it is unusable, truly unusable. I mean, just a vile [00:00:54] stream of trash. And I think that was true of TikTok as well. I mean, what do we do? I mean, I think that you only do what you can, meaning that I don't control the algorithms. Hopefully somebody who's more responsible now will help control the algorithms. I'm glad [00:01:10] that TikTok was taken away from China. I'm not sure how much algorithmic control is given to the new owners. That's sort of the big question. I think that Elon should obviously boot the bots from his algorithm. because I think a lot of this is foreign bot driven. Frankly, and I think the algorithm creates extraordinary reality. Yes, there's money being used 100%. [00:01:30] Extraordinary reality is being driven for unknown accounts. You can see it in your recommendations. I remember at one point I actually reached out to Elon's people directly about this. So yes, I agree with you that young people are being faced with a plethora of bad information. All [00:01:48] right, so this week, Breaking Points interviewed a former TikTok executive who now happens to be running for Congress. So he joined the company shortly after October 7th, 2023. And he explained exactly how the Israel first lobby ran a pressure campaign on TikTok in case you had any doubts [00:02:06] as to who is in control. Let's watch that. And my job at TikTok, we're getting all these inquiries from different elected officials. pro-Israeli or uh lobbying organizations, think of ADL [00:02:22] and all of those. The pressure was unbelievable. Words cannot describe the amount of pressure that existed. And it became the number one headwind for the company that could result in the lack of its existence in the largest consumer market in the entire world. uh We [00:02:40] were getting inbound inquiries and this is public information. You could see a lot of these letters. online, I mean, every few days, every other day from pro-Israeli lobbying organizations, from pro-Israel perspective, legislators, and the company was just being [00:03:00] inundated. All right, so who is in charge here? This is the United States of America. Are we in charge of our own media? We have someone like who we just saw who is confirming what a lot of us have suspected and that is that Israel, not the Jews, I want to be clear, but [00:03:18] Israel is controlling or at least attempting to control a lot of our media that we see and consume here in the United States. And we see it everywhere. We see these pro-Israeli talking points that are being boosted in everyone's algorithms. We find it very difficult to see anything pro-Palestinian. And certainly we don't really see a whole lot of that in from [00:03:38] mainstream media sources. We do see it from other smaller places. You see it from us definitely. But CNN is not running anything pro-Palestinian or the New York Times or anything like that. uh Cenk, I was confused as to how Ben Shapiro has a direct line to Elon Musk to tell him [00:03:57] what to do with his algorithm because I didn't think he was that influential. What do you think? Yeah, so that is curious, isn't it? So let's go to all the confessions there. oh So he says, well, first of all, to X and TikTok are trash, right? Why? Because TikTok shows the actual videos from Gaza. And once you see two of those videos, you'll hate the Israelis [00:04:18] forever. And you should for what they've done. It is horrific. Not forever, if they turn around and they get to peace, sure, God bless, welcome back to the League of Nations, right? But for now, they're disgusting fascist government that is slaughtering children in Gaza, Lebanon, and now Iran. So he's like, don't watch, whatever you do, don't watch, we've got to control the [00:04:37] algorithms. Thank you for confession number one. He said, we need help in controlling the algorithms. Then confession number two, well, TikTok, we're okay now. Well, if we can fully control the algorithm. You're just confessing on air that of the thing that you call a trope. [00:04:56] Okay, so look before and it's been amazing how they've begun to confess completely before the Ellison's bought it. Ellison, the way, Larry Ellison is the biggest donor. He think to the IDF, he thinks IDF is a charity. He's given them $16 million like, boy, way to murder [00:05:14] more Palestinian children. Okay, that's who bought TikTok is now going to help. control the algorithms. But Mitt Romney, I'm to go to clip five here, Mitt Romney started admitting this while they were pressuring TikTok, you better sell, you better sell. So that TikTok [00:05:32] executive you just saw, that's what he's talking about. And the company's thinking, well, this is going to affect literally billions of dollars, even if we have to sell. If we're forced to sell, it'll shave off at least, Scott Galloway did a great segment on this, shave off a quarter [00:05:47] of our valuation at a minimum. potentially tens of billions of dollars, right? That they're going to steal from us. And Romney back in the day was like, yeah, because of the Israelis watch. There was such overwhelming support for us to shut down potentially TikTok or other [00:06:03] entities of that nature. If you look at the postings on TikTok and the number of mentions of Palestinians relative to other social media sites, it's overwhelmingly so among TikTok. broadcast so I'd I'd know that's a real interest and the president will get the chance to to [00:06:22] make action in that regard typically the Israelis are good at PR What's happened here? How have they how have they and we been so ineffective at communicating? m The the realities there and our point of view Look, one of the biggest problems with political media right now isn't [00:06:41] just bias. It's how quickly the same story gets spun into two completely different realities depending on who's telling it. That's why I recommend ground news. It's a website and app that pulls together reporting from across the political spectrum so you can compare how the same story is being covered, who's covering it, and what kind of narrative they're pushing. [00:06:58] Take this story about Pete Hegseth refusing to rule out US troops on the ground in Iran. On ground news, you can immediately see how differently outlets frame that same development. The Daily Signal downplays the danger by stressing that this isn't Iraq and that the war won't [00:07:14] be endless. NBC meanwhile focuses on the key fact that Hegseth would not rule out American boots on the ground in Iran. Same story, two completely different realities. And ground news makes that obvious right away. You can compare headlines side by side, see the bias [00:07:31] distribution of the coverage, check the factuality ratings of the sources, and even see who owns the outlets behind the reporting. That matters because once you understand how stories are being framed, you start to see how public consent gets manufactured. Ground News also has a blind [00:07:48] spot feed that highlights stories that one side of the political spectrum is barely covering. So you're not just trapped inside the version of the world your algorithm wants to feed you. If you're tired of being fed somebody else's narrative, I genuinely recommend ground news. [00:08:04] Go to ground.News slash TYT or scan the QR code. Using our link gets you 40 % off ground news vantage plan and you can also gift a subscription directly through ground news. That was back [00:08:19] when they were pretending that the problem was China. We're worried that China owns it. But here, Ben Shapiro even admitted, we'll try to get the algorithm away from China and give it to Israel. Wait, wait, you say, well, now, Mitt Romney said it, Ben Shapiro obviously [00:08:34] 100 % in favor of Israel. And that's what he's talking about here. it's not like the Prime Minister of Israel said it too. Wait, that's, I believe, video seven. Well, we have to fight with the weapons that apply to the battlefields in which we're engaged. important ones are [00:08:52] the social media. And the most important purchase that is going on right now is class. Tick tock, tick tock number one, number one. And I hope it goes through because it can be consequential. [00:09:09] And the other one, what's the other one that's most important? X. You know to this day, if you say Israel's controlling our media, literally almost everyone in mainstream media goes anti-Semite. [00:09:25] That's a trope. Dude, the prime minister is saying, we just bought TikTok. What do mean we? We're buying TikTok and we gotta control X and Ben Shapiro comes out and they're watching the truth. We don't want the truth to get out. We gotta control the algorithms in TikTok. What control, what me? Golly gee, right? Okay, so we already got two confessions. Here's the [00:09:44] third confession. There's a lot of foreign bots on X, he says. You betcha. Why does he? Look guys, what projection means is, if you don't know it, is like whatever you're thinking, you project onto the other person, right? So Israel has wall to wall bots on X. You can't [00:10:02] throw a tweet on X without hitting an Israeli bot or 100 of them, right? So he's assuming like, if we're doing it, bet. Kazakhstan's doing it too and Pakistan too. Come on, brother, okay? And then the fourth confession is there's a lot of foreign money influencing. oh Come [00:10:20] on, foreign money. Not everyone is as evil and duplicitous as the Israelis. But he assumes that everybody must be. So he's like, mean, aren't you all trying to buy America like we are, the American media, and control their algorithms? But we have no control, no control, no control, [00:10:40] right? And isn't everybody using foreign bots and money? No, but thank you for the confession, Ben. Okay, that's for number five. I reached out to Elon and told him to change his algorithm. You did. See, that's weird because that goes to Yaz's question. So um there's a lot of [00:10:59] really powerful shows in the top 50 shows on YouTube and online video. Are we among them? Sure. uh So we're in the top 30, okay? And it's a big crowded field, etc. But when I [00:11:15] did a tweet and Elon responded to it, it became like a national story. Like, wow, okay, look at Elon responding to someone on the left, etc., right? This brother is not in the top 200 of online videos. I've never seen him in a ranking. Maybe his podcast is okay. I don't [00:11:31] know if he's got any viewers left at all there or listeners. But in video, Daily Wire is a ghost. It's like a shade above Mark Levin. So Levin has 12 viewers, I think. And I don't [00:11:46] know if Shapiro has 14 or 15. I don't know, I've never seen him at any ranking, right? But he can call Elon anytime, hey, Elon, shut up. I'm here to control your algorithm. Why is Elon taking this pipsqueak's call? Because Ben Shapiro isn't representing Ben Shapiro. [00:12:03] Ben Shapiro is representing Israel. So when Israel calls, you take the call, confession number five. So we appreciate it, Ben, keep talking. Let us know exactly how you're planning to control our media here in America. Yeah, and these are the people who are positioning [00:12:19] themselves as thought leaders to Americans just because they have the money to do it because they're being bankrolled. by Israel, which is sort of also by us because it's our tax dollars that's running that entire country. Netanyahu just said in that clip you showed, Cenk, that uh X and TikTok were the most important purchases, right? They understand how important [00:12:39] it is to control people's minds. And I know that sounds dramatic, but it really is. You have to win this thought war that is happening in order to win whatever other war you're trying to fight. And again, this is all coming from a foreign government as much as the Israeli government is still considered foreign, even though again, they're running off of our tax [00:12:58] dollars. But what I do like about this story, I just want to go to break on a positive note is that they are doing the absolute most to control the narrative to get it in their favor. But it's not working. It is completely getting away from them. The Americans for the first [00:13:14] time in a long time, if ever, support the Palestinians more than they support the Israelis. And that is incredible. And a lot of that has to do with the fact that despite all their efforts, all their bots, all of their blocking, whatever they're doing, shadow banning over on TikTok [00:13:29] and Instagram and on X, people can see what's happening over there, right? There are enough resources out there. There are not enough journalists out there. are willing to tell the real story. And once those real stories do get out, it's very hard to deny the reality of the situation. [00:13:46] So and it's one of those things too that once the wool is pulled from people's eyes and they're like, it's very, very hard. It's going to be very hard for Israel to win back some of the support that it's lost if any of it is possible. Yeah, last things in Easter egg that was in there. Their consultants must have told them uh when you call people anti Semites, it doesn't [00:14:05] pull well. Every time you say anti-Semite, you create 10 new anti-Semites, right? So uh they're trying so hard not to say anti-Semite, and in the middle of that, he's like, Jew haters, that's not any better, man. That's way worse. Yeah, no, no, the problem isn't [00:14:25] that Israel has done a vicious genocide and killed 23,000 children and invading Lebanon and Iran and getting us dragged into wars. That's not the problem at all. The problem is all Americans are Jew haters. Keep going, Ben, keep going. I appreciate the confessions. I appreciate [00:14:41] you alienating 80 % of Americans. Good luck with that. uh
