Rebel News Podcast - It’s only been 100 days, and the world is already falling apart under Joe Biden

00:00:00.000 Hello, my Rebels. Today, I take you through the collapsing world. And I'm not talking about the

00:00:04.480 pandemic today. I'm talking about the war against Israel by the Hamas terrorist group,

00:00:09.380 which is sponsored by Iran. And my thesis is none of this would have happened

00:00:15.420 were it not for Biden as president. I'll take you through it and we'll interview Joel Pollack

00:00:20.160 with his thoughts on it. Before I do that, let me invite you to become a subscriber to Rebel News

00:00:48.080 Tonight, it's only been 100 days and the world is already falling apart under Joe Biden.

00:00:52.520 It's May 12th and this is the Ezra LeVant Show.

00:00:57.000 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?

00:01:00.820 There's 8,500 customers here and you won't give them an answer.

00:01:04.880 The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it is because it's my bloody

00:01:09.740 right to do so.

00:01:15.420 I really can't believe my eyes. There are gas station lineups in America again. How on earth

00:01:21.240 is that even happening? In my mind, that's a foggy memory I have from the 1970s when I was a child

00:01:27.620 on the news from the OPEC oil shocks and Jimmy Carter's mismanagement of both the economy and

00:01:33.520 foreign policy. How can that be happening again? I mean, Donald Trump did more for the U.S. energy

00:01:38.900 economy than anyone else since John D. Rockefeller. Trump opened up drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. He was

00:01:45.840 pro-fracking. He was pro-coal. He even allowed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge,

00:01:51.400 which I thought was forever off limits. In Trump's first week as president, he revived the Keystone

00:01:57.800 Excel pipeline and he cleared out the illegal protesters from another pipeline called the

00:02:02.620 Dakota Access Pipeline. Do you remember that one? Our friend Fela McAleer went down there. Take a look.

00:02:08.720 Did you come here in a vehicle? Did you guys come here in a vehicle? Yeah, we all came

00:02:12.680 with her. We had, we piled as many people in it as we possibly could along with probably

00:02:16.880 about a thousand pounds of food. Does that not make you a hypocrite coming in an oil-propelled

00:02:20.560 vehicle to protest oil? No, it does not make me a hypocrite. No.

00:02:24.520 Did I see your press now? I don't have it. The press place was closed.

00:02:28.640 Okay. Can we see your footage there? No, no, I'm sorry. It's open now.

00:02:32.200 Yeah, we're going to have security. Are you with the oil company? I mean, I'm with the press.

00:02:36.280 Hey, hey, hey, let go. Let go. Let go. Let go of that, sir. Let go. Sir, let go of that.

00:02:41.400 Let go. Let go. Let go. Let go. Let go. He's in the wrong place to ask that kind of stuff.

00:02:46.120 Let go of the microphone. Let go of the microphone. You've got to let go of the microphone.

00:02:50.240 Let's go to the press box. Let go. Let go. Well, I guarantee you.

00:02:53.440 I spoke to Mike. This is not going to be a thing. I was in here. This is not going to be a thing.

00:02:55.680 Yes. I have my own camera operate. Hey, come here a minute.

00:02:59.320 Make sure, can you make sure his is deleted? He's filming this right here. He's taking it with him.

00:03:03.640 I'm just getting your microphone. You guys don't have a press pass.

00:03:05.560 Yes. I have no idea. Let's stop. Stop it. First, I want to tell a story, too.

00:03:11.720 Let go of the microphone. Stop it. You have to delete it. Let go of the microphone.

00:03:15.760 Let go of my microphone. Yeah, it was like if you put Antifa in charge of the economy.

00:03:19.760 So Trump cleared all that Obama-era stuff up pretty quick. Under Trump, America achieved something

00:03:24.740 I didn't think would be possible for many years to come. He made America energy self-sufficient

00:03:30.560 again. Actually, a net energy exporter, exporting oil and gas, in fact. Canada imports a lot of

00:03:37.800 oil from the United States. Do you know that? We still sell more oil to them than we buy,

00:03:42.080 but it's not as lopsided anymore. Gas prices in the U.S., though, are now nearing $3 a gallon,

00:03:48.560 which is shocking to Americans. I should tell you, though, that Canadians are paying about $1.30

00:03:54.480 a liter Canadian, which is the equivalent of $4 a gallon American. And we seem fine with that. So

00:04:01.300 we're paying way more than Americans, and they're freaking out. The immediate crisis in the U.S. is

00:04:07.020 because an important pipeline got hacked. I guess if I didn't think about it, I wouldn't imagine a

00:04:13.760 pipeline could be hacked. But of course, anything could be hacked. Your fridge could be hacked if it's

00:04:18.760 got a computer in it. Anything with a computer, and that's everything these days. So do you really

00:04:23.980 think it was a cyber criminal who wanted a ransom? That's what we're told. It could be. Or do you

00:04:32.300 think that maybe, I don't know, just guessing here, just a foreign power, maybe? I don't know.

00:04:39.980 Maybe China? I mean, if China were to do it, they would probably say it was some for-profit ransom

00:04:47.500 criminal. Here's the U.S. government on the issue. So first, we recognize that victims of cyber

00:04:53.380 attacks often face a very difficult situation, and they have to just balance, often, the cost-benefit

00:04:59.020 when they have no choice with regard to paying a ransom. Colonial is a private company, and we'll

00:05:04.000 defer information regarding their decision on paying a ransom to them. Would the administration

00:05:10.060 offer any advice on whether or not to pay a ransom? So typically, that is a private sector decision,

00:05:16.140 and the administration has not offered further advice at this time. Given the rise in ransomware,

00:05:21.520 that is one area we're definitely looking at now to say what should be the government's approach

00:05:26.280 to ransomware. Got it. A nationally important pipeline is attacked, paralyzing Americans,

00:05:31.940 gas stations are running out of gas, and it's just a private sector thing. Hey, I have an idea.

00:05:37.460 Why not get that expert on gas pipelines, Hunter Biden, to help? I hear he was paid millions by

00:05:44.000 Ukrainian energy companies for his tip-top advice. He'll know what to do. So there's that. There's

00:05:50.800 the news that the massive jobs rebound that was happening under Trump, it's been slowed to a crawl.

00:05:57.640 More people are sneaking across the border from Mexico than ever, 180,000 at last count,

00:06:04.380 because they know Biden won't be strong. Biden loves illegal migrants. He knows they're future

00:06:10.440 Democrat voters. He wants them to come. You've got economic malaise. You're at the whim of cyber

00:06:16.340 petro-terrorists, and now war is breaking out in the Middle East. When was the last time that happened?

00:06:22.860 Did it happen a lot under Donald Trump? No, it did not. Foreign actors, countries, terrorist groups,

00:06:28.600 whatever, they either feared Trump or respected Trump, or both. Now they laugh at Biden. I mean,

00:06:35.940 who looks powerful in this picture? I don't know, but it's not Biden. Which brings us to the war in

00:06:40.580 Israel. There wasn't one under Trump. Why? Iran was as belligerent as ever in its political leadership,

00:06:46.400 Hamas and other terrorist groups. But why didn't they make a move then? Well, same reason why

00:06:52.600 everyone is making a move now. I mean, Trump wasn't supernatural, but he did pacify North Korea

00:06:59.900 enough. He did kill al-Baghdadi of ISIS, remember him? Compare North Korea now with North Korea under

00:07:08.200 Trump. No one dared to make a move under Trump. Trump didn't start wars. He was loathe to join

00:07:13.520 them, but he occasionally smacked people around to show why they shouldn't start wars. Remember this?

00:07:18.980 When he was casually at dinner with Xi Jinping at Mar-a-Lago, he just let fly over dessert a bunch

00:07:26.180 of cruise missiles, timed perfectly so Xi Jinping would find out about it over dessert. Yeah,

00:07:32.100 that left an impression both on the Syrians and on Xi Jinping. Well, Trump is gone.

00:07:37.860 Now it's Grandpa Joe Biden who forgets where he is half the time and who he is without notes.

00:07:44.140 COVID has taken this year, just since the outbreak, it's taken more than 100 years. Look,

00:07:51.000 here's the lives. It's just, it's when you think about it. You know, the rapidly rising

00:07:59.160 in with, with, I don't know. I just spoke at Dartmouth on healthcare at the medical school or not,

00:08:14.080 I guess I wasn't actually on the campus, but the people from the medical school were at the,

00:08:18.040 I want to be clear. I'm not going nuts. I'm not sure whether it was a medical school or where the

00:08:23.780 hell I spoke, but it was on the campus. I propose, and I'm going to digress slightly. I, here we,

00:08:29.460 we're in a situation, I, the president asked me to head up a cancer moonshot in another country

00:08:35.420 and annexed a significant portion of it called Crimea. Right. He's saying that it was president,

00:08:42.060 my boss. So yeah, not exactly a commanding presence, not exactly intimidating to the bad

00:08:48.900 guys. And he's hired most of the failed foreign policy bosses from the Obama era, literally the

00:08:53.140 people who tried to bribe Iran with billions of dollars and tried to force Israel to only make

00:08:58.560 peace through the Palestinians. I mean, imagine hiring this guy again. There will be no separate

00:09:05.020 peace between Israel and the Arab world. I want to make that very clear to all of you.

00:09:11.260 I've heard several prominent politicians in Israel sometimes saying, well, the Arab world's in a

00:09:18.160 different place now. We just have to reach out to them and we can work some things with the Arab world

00:09:22.660 and we'll deal with the Palestinians. No, no, no, and no. Yeah. So Israel is on its own again. It can

00:09:29.380 take care of itself pretty well. It survived eight years under Barack Obama running America.

00:09:35.020 Biden won't be around eight years. And Israel does have some friends in the region now. But the

00:09:40.700 thing about having friends is sometimes you have to compromise a bit to keep them. That'll be

00:09:44.940 interesting. For example, whose side in this fight is the United Arab Emirates on? But it's

00:09:50.000 clearly the 1970s are back. Oil shocks, terrorism, foreign countries eating America's lunch. But hey,

00:09:59.040 look at the bright side. At least Donald Trump and his mean tweets are gone. Am I right?

00:10:06.120 Stay with us for more on this with Joel Paul.

00:10:07.980 Well, for four years during the Trump administration, war in the Middle East was the dog

00:10:24.040 that didn't bark. As in, it was, you might not notice it because you didn't see the wars. You didn't

00:10:32.200 see the conflict. And we started to think maybe that was normal. In fact, peace broke out all over

00:10:37.320 the place. Not just one peace deal, but many. The so-called Abraham Accords, Trump managed to do

00:10:43.660 the impossible, get Israel to have a true and warm peace with the United Arab Emirates, with Bahrain,

00:10:50.800 with Sudan, with Morocco. If any one of those deals had been done under a Democrat administration,

00:10:56.720 there would be Nobel Prizes all around, but not so for Trump. Well, that era of peace, in my view,

00:11:03.080 was because the actors in the region either feared or respected Trump. That seems to be gone,

00:11:09.260 because now war is breaking out between Israel and Gaza. And joining us now to talk about it is our

00:11:15.620 friend Joel Pollack, senior editor-at-large at Breitbart.com. Am I unfair to hang this around the neck

00:11:23.000 of Joe Biden and his foreign policy? Is he really a proximate cause of this violence? I mean,

00:11:29.360 there's been violence in that region for a long time. Did Biden give a sort of permission for this to

00:11:36.600 reignite? Well, let's just be clear about where the responsibility ultimately lies. It lies with the

00:11:45.420 Palestinian leadership and with Iran, which funds and arms Palestinian terrorists, terrorists in Lebanon,

00:11:52.220 terrorists in other parts of the Middle East and around the world. And they have played the

00:11:58.120 fundamental role in fomenting this conflict. They are also attempting to pressure the United States,

00:12:04.120 which is looking for some way to capitulate and accept very weak terms in some kind of return to

00:12:10.620 the old nuclear deal. That's a separate issue. But Iran is ultimately responsible, as are the

00:12:16.980 Palestinian terrorists. But Biden's policy on Israel has also played a contributing role. A month ago,

00:12:24.460 the Biden administration announced hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. taxpayer funds

00:12:30.240 for the Palestinians in apparent violation of the Taylor Force Act, which prevents Americans'

00:12:36.880 funds from being spent on the Palestinian Authority while it still subsidizes terrorism.

00:12:41.540 The Biden administration wanted to reach out to the Palestinians. They want to entice them back to

00:12:47.520 the negotiating table. So they offered them this money with no strings attached, no requirement to end

00:12:53.100 supporting terror, to end incitement, to negotiate with Israel, nothing. And that signaled to the

00:12:59.860 Palestinians that they have the green light to be more aggressive with Israel. And it also signaled that

00:13:07.320 the Biden administration was not going to stand with Israel in a moment of need. And we now see that

00:13:11.900 happening. The Palestinians fomented riots last Friday using the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the holiest

00:13:17.640 sites in Islam, to store weapons, including stones, Molotov cocktails, fireworks. They used those weapons to

00:13:23.400 attack innocent Jewish worshippers at the Western Wall, to attack Israeli police, to do other kinds of

00:13:30.260 attacks, including an attempted lynching outside the walls of the old city. I'm not sure if those stones that

00:13:36.420 were thrown at the Israeli driver, who was almost lynched, came from inside the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but

00:13:39.920 it was part of that general riot. When Israeli police moved in to try to clear out the rioters,

00:13:45.920 the Palestinians claimed that there was an attack on the mosque by the Israeli authorities, which

00:13:50.760 wasn't the case, of course. Israel has had sovereignty over the Temple Mount for almost 65 years now,

00:13:58.600 excuse me, 55 years, and nothing like that has happened. Israel has never attacked the mosques.

00:14:04.080 Israel has protected the mosques. But it's the Palestinians who have used them as cover for

00:14:09.020 these occasional attacks on innocent civilians and on police officers. Now you have Hamas exploiting

00:14:15.620 the situation to fire rockets at Jerusalem and at Israel, and Israel has been required to defend

00:14:21.080 itself, taking out the rocket launchers, taking out the Hamas terrorists in charge of all this.

00:14:25.420 Hamas is then unleashing whatever it has at Israel, hundreds and hundreds of rockets, including longer

00:14:30.760 range rockets that have reached as far as Tel Aviv and other cities in Israel's heavily populated central

00:14:35.160 region. And Biden has equivocated. He's basically said, well, we condemn the rocket fire, but we also

00:14:41.180 condemn Israel's policies on this and that. There's a property dispute in the Jerusalem neighborhood of

00:14:47.020 Sheikh Jarrah over some homes that used to be owned by Jews before 1948, were seized by Jordan when they

00:14:53.040 took the region over in 1948 and then were given to Arab residents. Now the Jews want their property

00:15:00.160 back. And there's been a court fight over it for decades. It's a complicated legal issue, but it's

00:15:05.040 certainly not anything that ought to trigger over a thousand rockets, 1200 rockets, in fact, fired by

00:15:10.980 Palestinians at Israel. Incidentally, 200 of those 1200 rockets, one out of every six rockets has landed on

00:15:16.780 a Palestinian area in Gaza. So these rockets still remain rather primitive, even though they're going

00:15:23.060 further and further. And the Palestinians are killing their own people. As long as some of the

00:15:28.080 rockets might make through, you think about the math this way, if they fired 1200 rockets, 200 hit

00:15:32.960 Palestinians. And of those 1200, about 90% get stopped by the Iron Dome or of the remaining 1000, 90% get

00:15:39.760 stopped by the Iron Dome. So you have 100 rockets that have a chance of making it through and hitting

00:15:44.160 something in Israel. And that something is usually an Israeli civilian. So that's dozens of rockets

00:15:50.880 hitting civilian targets in Israel. And it would have been much worse without the Iron Dome system.

00:15:55.180 Biden is not standing with Israel as Trump did. You can look at episodes under Trump where Hamas

00:15:59.640 started firing rockets and Trump said that he was going to stand with Israel 100%. He was not

00:16:05.380 equivocating, not talking about anything Israel needed to do. And this is one of those cases. This was

00:16:09.880 completely unprovoked. Israel did nothing to provoke this whatsoever. The supposed causes like a court

00:16:15.760 case in the Israeli Supreme Court and the riots on the last Friday in Ramadan, which were pre-planned,

00:16:22.380 have nothing to do with Israel or anything Israel did to Palestinians at all. And this is just pure

00:16:27.700 incitement and provocation by the Palestinians. Now they're in the middle of a war. And Biden,

00:16:35.000 instead of siding with Israel, is siding with the terrorists and with the Palestinians. He has sent

00:16:39.700 his envoy, this guy, Amr, who is the deputy undersecretary of whatever for Israel and Palestinian

00:16:46.260 relations. And he's going to Israel to tell them to de-escalate. This guy has a history, Mr. Hadi Amr,

00:16:52.700 of anti-Israel rhetoric, of justifying Palestinian violence, of calling Israel an apartheid state and

00:16:59.760 referring to it as ethnic cleansing or whatever. This is the wrong guy to send because Israel is

00:17:04.760 just going to ignore him. And I don't think Israel is taking the Biden administration all that seriously.

00:17:09.180 But the Biden administration can put a lot of pressure on Israel. They can start doing what

00:17:13.520 left-wing Democrats want them to do. They can start cutting off military aid and all of that.

00:17:17.900 But it's now clear to Israel that they don't have a friend in the White House. And it's also clear to

00:17:22.320 the Palestinians. So in that sense, it's a provocation, letting the region know that the United States

00:17:26.900 doesn't stand with Israel anymore and is willing to give the Palestinians money for nothing,

00:17:30.620 certainly played a role in triggering this round of violence.

00:17:34.700 That's very interesting. It reminds me a little bit of the bad old days under Barack Obama.

00:17:39.100 But here's a question I have for you, is that these new Arab-Israeli peace deals that were not

00:17:47.620 blocked by an obsession with the Palestinian issue. I'm looking at even the title of that

00:17:54.800 diplomat you referred to, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian affairs.

00:18:01.940 There's this presumption, John Kerry had it, Obama had it, Biden has it, that you can't do other

00:18:08.540 peace deals unless the Palestinians agree. And by Palestinians, they typically mean the Hamas

00:18:13.200 terrorist group, for example. Trump rejected that approach, and he did all these deals we've

00:18:18.760 talked about, Bahrain, UAE, etc. What are those countries doing or saying, if anything,

00:18:23.460 in the last few days of these rocket attacks? I think there's been universal condemnation of

00:18:29.660 Israel, which I think is just a formality in some of these places. None of the countries has

00:18:34.300 recalled ambassadors, none of them has said that their new agreements are in any kind of jeopardy,

00:18:38.820 which is good news. I think Israel has to be very careful because it wants to preserve those

00:18:42.620 agreements. But it's worth noting that the Biden administration certainly didn't reward those

00:18:46.900 countries. I mean, Biden came in and immediately reversed some of the awards, some of the rewards that

00:18:52.300 Trump had given countries like the UAE. He had given them an arms deal, he had given them relief

00:18:57.220 from tariffs on aluminum. Biden reversed all that. Biden also pulled out U.S. support for Saudi Arabia

00:19:04.200 in its war in Yemen. And this is actually very interesting and very important because

00:19:08.420 what Iran was doing and is doing in Yemen by backing the Houthi rebels is testing some of the strategies

00:19:16.000 that Iranian-backed terror groups are using against Israel. One of the things the Houthis did,

00:19:21.400 for example, was fire barrages of rockets at Saudi targets. And they're testing the tactics

00:19:27.260 there that they will later use against Israel. So what you're seeing in Israel now is that the

00:19:33.000 Palestinian terror groups are firing large barrages of rockets, hoping and correctly that

00:19:39.440 they can overwhelm the Iron Dome missile defense system if they just send enough rockets, because you're

00:19:44.500 limited by the processing power of the computers that go into these systems. You're limited by how quickly

00:19:49.300 the Iron Dome systems can be rearmed and reloaded, how many of them you have. And so they are able to get

00:19:54.420 a few rockets through and kill Israelis and deny Israel the peace and tranquility that they want.

00:20:01.200 So Iran is at work in the Middle East, not just in the Palestinian areas, but also in other areas.

00:20:07.160 And Biden has pulled out his support for American allies. Now, Saudi Arabia didn't make peace with

00:20:11.960 Israel, but they tacitly supported all these other peace deals. And they were about to make peace with

00:20:15.460 Israel, according to some thinking. And Biden has done everything he can to isolate them and alienate

00:20:20.440 them. So he is not rewarding the Arab countries that are making peace with Israel. When you have

00:20:24.180 that situation, this kind of violence is almost inevitable. Biden is making it clear that Palestinians

00:20:28.400 can get attention and money and pressure on Israel by behaving exactly as they behaved for the entire

00:20:34.500 period prior to Donald Trump. I got a question for you. I mean, for a long time, support for Israel and

00:20:41.260 opposition to terrorism was a bipartisan affair. But I think since 9-11, it's sort of been becoming

00:20:49.060 more a Republican matter than a Democrat matter. And I wonder if the Ilhan Omar wing of the Democrats

00:20:57.680 is running the show on foreign policy. I mean, there are a lot of senior Jews who claim to be pro-Israel

00:21:04.700 in the Democratic Party, in the Senate, even in the cabinet. I mean, even Kamala Harris's husband is

00:21:11.720 Jewish. Are they tepid supporters of Israel, or are they silent because they don't want to offend the

00:21:19.860 Ilhan Omar wing of the party? The pro-Israel Democrats are silent, and so are the never-Trump Republicans,

00:21:29.000 who you may know are comprised of a large number of people who used to be very pro-Israel. I mean, that was

00:21:35.160 one of the primary calling cards of people like Bill Kristol and Jen Rubin back in the day. Now, a couple of

00:21:41.300 them have been vocal in support of Israel. David Frum, the former George W. Bush speechwriter, has been

00:21:46.120 tweeting in support of Israel. But he's blaming Trump for this, because they can't ever let anything go without

00:21:51.520 taking a dig at Trump. He's basically saying, ha-ha, Trump failed to bring peace to the Middle East, as if it were

00:21:56.580 Trump's policies that were the cause. Now, the other never-Trumpers don't care. They're not doing

00:22:02.220 anything to help Israel. Jen Rubin, in fact, encouraged Biden to intervene in the way he is

00:22:07.920 intervening haplessly. They can't support Israel because Trump supported Israel. That's how deep

00:22:14.440 the derangement goes. Because Trump is now identified as pro-Israel, the never-Trumpers and the Democrats are

00:22:19.960 afraid to, or reluctant to, support Israel. Some of them aren't necessarily supporting the

00:22:25.480 Palestinians, either. You have Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, you know, spouting off. But I don't

00:22:29.860 know if that's where the Democrats are right now. You have some, obviously, who empathize with them,

00:22:34.600 because, of course, Israel is the beneficiary of so-called privilege, right, because they're

00:22:39.180 successful. So therefore, they must be unjustly successful. And therefore, you have to side with

00:22:43.260 the underdog, even though the underdog has been causing explosions and horrible crimes against

00:22:48.040 civilians for decades. But the Democratic Party is no longer a pro-Israel party. I mean, it used to

00:22:55.140 be that Democrats would defend Israel. They're really not doing it anymore in any kind of full-throated

00:22:59.800 way. The one exception is Andrew Yang, who's running for mayor of New York City. Andrew Yang

00:23:04.320 has been quite impressive in his campaign. He's neck and neck with another candidate.

00:23:09.400 And he really upset the left by coming out fully in support of Israel. It was actually quite amazing

00:23:16.100 that any Democrat had the guts to do this anymore. But he basically came out and said,

00:23:20.300 I support Israel completely. And it's not the first time he's done it, apparently, because his

00:23:23.460 detractors have dug up all kinds of other examples where he supported Israel. So being pro-Israel now

00:23:28.780 is a bad thing in the mayoral race in New York City. The Democrats are upset about it. And they're

00:23:34.260 urging Muslim communities in New York City, for example, not to have him at their events and that

00:23:38.700 kind of thing. But he's a rare exception. Most of the Democrats are quiet. And the Biden administration

00:23:43.500 is, again, playing this ridiculous game of moral equivalence, or rather immoral equivalence,

00:23:48.160 because they're trying to equate something immoral, like firing rockets at civilians, with something

00:23:52.580 moral like a court case that could favor one side or the other. And the difference, I think,

00:23:58.800 now is that Israelis and the rest of the world have seen that there is actually a different way to do

00:24:02.760 this, that Trump's way succeeded. And so I don't think Israel is going to be as easily cowed by this

00:24:07.480 kind of pressure. And I think Israel is facing some very difficult choices in the days ahead.

00:24:13.060 They're going to have to weigh the criticisms from their new Arab allies. But I don't think they're

00:24:17.300 going to care all that much about what Biden says. Having said that, what Biden says is important to

00:24:22.000 us as Americans, because if he's weak against terrorism, when it hits Israelis, he's going to

00:24:26.240 be weak when it targets Americans as well. Very interesting. I find it fascinating that Israelis

00:24:32.160 would, and Israel would care about their new friends in the Arab world. And I think that's a good

00:24:37.620 thing. You know, instead of just being all alone, you have some allies, even if they may be lukewarm.

00:24:43.200 I think that was the most hopeful thing in the Trump administration. I was shocked when he did

00:24:50.960 those peace deals. I thought it was an insoluble problem. I thought it was his own ego that made

00:24:56.480 him think he could do it. But my God, he did do it. And Biden wants to throw that out. I find this

00:25:01.680 a fascinating time, obviously a very dangerous time and a worrying time. We'll keep our eyes on it from

00:25:06.320 up here. Thanks for spending the time with us, Joel. Thank you. All right. Oh, let me mention,

00:25:11.120 Joel, don't go away. I hear, and I can't even believe this, you've got a new book coming out.

00:25:16.880 And it's just apropos of this. The title gave me a bit of a chuckle, The Zionist Conspiracy

00:25:24.640 and How to Join It. We'll have a link to the Amazon page below, but give us one minute on this

00:25:29.680 book. That's a provocative title. What's the book about? The book is about positive lessons from

00:25:35.840 Israel's success. And I say the Zionist conspiracy is not the reason Israel was founded or the reason

00:25:42.160 Israel is prosperous today. There's no secret cabal of Jews arranging world affairs. But Zionism was

00:25:48.160 successful because they adopted strategies that can be useful to other people in other situations,

00:25:53.760 including the Palestinians. By the way, I have a whole chapter about how the Palestinians could learn

00:25:57.680 from Israel's successes in their own quest for statehood and for improving the lives of their own

00:26:02.880 people. But I go into other lessons from Israel's history. I go into the development of Iron Dome.

00:26:07.680 And for example, I talk about Israel's success in the area of water. I talk about how Israel found

00:26:13.520 military solutions to things for which they were thought to be no solution. Israel is a success story,

00:26:19.520 and it's one that people can learn from. And so the Zionist conspiracy merely is the group of people

00:26:26.800 people of whatever religious background or national identification who decide they're going to

00:26:32.640 succeed and who decide that they're willing to transform themselves as Jews transformed themselves,

00:26:38.480 as we transformed ourselves, I should say, in order to succeed. You can't remain mired in what your

00:26:44.400 identity used to be if you want to achieve your goals. And what Zionism did was basically say we're

00:26:48.720 going to take the Jewish communities of the world and make them into something new and make them

00:26:52.480 Israelis. And Israel is a success story because Israelis were willing to change who they were,

00:26:57.600 what language they spoke, where they lived, what they did for a living in order to make their project

00:27:02.480 succeed. And they had to make it succeed because it was the only way to survive. But these are lessons

00:27:07.120 that I explain in the Zionist conspiracy, and they are applicable to anyone, including people who don't

00:27:12.320 like Israel. There are positive lessons for everyone, and I hope people will read the e-book.

00:27:17.280 There you go. It's coming out this Friday. Again, it's called The Zionist Conspiracy and How to Join

00:27:23.040 It. You can order it on Amazon now, pre-order it now, and it'll be out in two days. Congratulations.

00:27:29.840 You're a very prolific author. It's a very tantalizing concept. It sounds like a great read.

00:27:35.760 Thanks for being here, my friend. Thank you. There you have it. Joel Pollack,

00:27:39.120 Senior Editor-Large on Breitbart.com. Stay with us more.

00:27:53.520 I tell you, Joel is so prolific. He's got another book. I think he writes like four books a year.

00:27:58.400 I think he's really calm and level-headed. I am appalled by what Biden is allowing to happen,

00:28:03.840 and it absolutely is. Everyone's sizing him up and saying, yeah, we can get away with things. And oh,

00:28:08.960 it's Obama's hapless crew. Man, is he putting John Kerry back in charge or anything?

00:28:13.760 Well, that's our show for today. Until tomorrow, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters,

00:28:18.000 to you at home, good night, and keep fighting for freedom.
