Pro-Hamas pogromists storm the airport in Dagestan, Russia, looking for Jews. Meanwhile, a busload of Jewish children are being attacked on the bus ride home from the bus station in Tel Aviv. What's the difference between a Pogrom and a Pogrom? What does it really mean, and why does it matter? And why is it so hard to remember that they are not anti-Zionist, they are anti-Israel? and yet the Pogroms against Jews still go on, and the violence is worse than ever. Is it because they don't know the truth about the facts, or because they are deluding themselves about what the truth is really like, or do they just care about the lies they tell themselves about the truth and pretend they do not know what is actually going on in the world, or are they just making up their own lies to cover up the truth in order to justify their crimes and cover them up for the lies that they have been told for years? And yet, still, they continue to do so. This is not a "pogrom." it is a mass murder, it s a mass massacre, and it s not even a "Pogrom or a "massacre in the words of our great thinkers, but a massacre . a mass killing an act of terror against a fellow human being by a group of people who are not Jewish . . . and the Jews And they have no idea what they are doing they don t know but they do know what they're doing and they still do it anyway why they do it because it s so well, and they are still doing it anyway, so why not do it, right do they not care? and why they should do it ? Why not do they care ? why not how they should do it any more what they should be doing it? What do they should they do should they do more? why should they not do more of them , why do they when they are so much better if they are going to do it better than we do it in the right way are they not doing it in a more civilized way? Why should they?
00:00:00.000A pogrom is defined as an organized massacre, typically of Jews.
00:00:03.000Pogroms have been unleashed on the Jewish community across the world over generations by a wide variety of groups.
00:00:09.000Spanish Muslims in Al-Andalus in 1066.
00:00:12.000French and German Crusaders in the Rhineland in 1096.
00:00:15.000Cossacks in the 17th century in Khamenitsky.
00:00:18.000The largest pogrom was, of course, the Holocaust.
00:00:20.000Well, since the Holocaust, the largest pogrom against Jews took place on October 7th of this year, when some 1,500 Israelis were murdered by Hamas terrorists.
00:00:29.000Since that pogrom, we've been told by our great thinkers that Hamas's brutality requires context.
00:00:34.000Never mind that body cam footage from Hamas terrorists reportedly included footage of Hamas killing a father, putting the father's baby in an actual oven, and then burning it to death, and repeatedly raping the mother while all of this went on.
00:00:46.000According to our pseudo-intellectuals, Hamas terrorists invading peaceful villages and slaughtering babies and raping women and shooting entire families.
00:00:52.000They weren't truly engaging in a pogrom.
00:00:54.000They were, in the words of some Columbia University professors, engaging in a military action.
00:00:59.000They were, in the words of some of our pseudo-intellectuals, engaged in a project of decolonization.
00:01:04.000No, say many of our thinkers, the Hamas pogrom wasn't really about killing Jews.
00:01:08.000It was actually about settlements in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank.
00:01:11.000It was about the breakdown of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
00:01:34.000It's a giant crowd out in front of the airport, screaming, breaking into the airport, because they got word that a flight from Israel was arriving.
00:01:42.000You can see the huge mob of people outside this airport, storming the airport.
00:01:49.000You can see members of military, members of the police, looking on, doing nothing, as this happens.
00:02:03.000Just huge crowds of people carrying Palestinian flags, rushing through the airport again, looking to get to the tarmac where this flight was supposedly landing from Tel Aviv.
00:02:15.000You can hear the Allahu Akbar's, of course.
00:02:18.000Some 83% of Dagestan is Muslim in practice.
00:02:23.000They are literally going to the doors looking for Jews, trying to break through doors looking for Jews right now.
00:03:40.000The pogromists also held signs reading, we are against Jewish refugees and child killers have no place in Dagestan.
00:03:46.000According to the Moscow Times, local media report that some of the pogromists were actually stopping cars outside the airport to quote, check the personal identification documents of drivers and passengers as they searched for Israeli citizens among the motorists.
00:03:59.000And in fact, you can see this mob going around rocking cars.
00:05:55.000These are all people imported to the West under the bizarre misimpression that all cultures are the same and everyone will be equally likely to be an excellent Western citizen.
00:07:09.000Well, it turns out that much of the world was just lying.
00:07:12.000So long as the proposed pogroms are accompanied by some political context, pogroms against the Jews are just fine.
00:07:18.000Not only are they fine, they actually have to continue.
00:07:20.000In fact, Israel, a state created with the explicit promise to protect Jews against such pogroms, must allow such pogroms to continue in the name of human rights.
00:07:29.000That's why the international community right now is calling for a ceasefire against Hamas.
00:07:32.000Because to much of the international community, 1,500 Jews slaughtered for the crime of being Jews, they don't count.
00:07:38.000The Jewish state and the Jews have to just absorb that loss.
00:08:45.000These are men and women who willingly sacrifice everything they have for the country, and when they're done serving, they return home to a tight job market, outrageous living expenses.
00:08:52.000This is why I'm so happy a private company like Pure Talk has jumped in to help.
00:08:56.000When you switch to Pure Talk's lightning-fast 5G network, they will donate a portion of every new order to this noble cause.
00:09:01.000We can make a real difference just by choosing a superior cell phone service.

00:09:54.000It turns out that it's terrible to live under a government that you elected that's a bunch of terrorists.
00:09:57.000It turns out that that's a really, really terrible thing.
00:09:59.000Nobody seemed to care about that for solidly 20 years.
00:10:02.000And then the minute that Hamas launched the most murderous attack on Jews since World War II, and then Israel retaliated, suddenly it becomes Israel's responsibility to protect Hamas' civilians.
00:10:26.000The New York Times, which has been covering for Hamas throughout this conflict, printing actual propaganda on behalf of Hamas, including the lie that the Israelis killed 500 people at a hospital when it turns out that it was a misfired Palestinian-Islamic Jihad rocket that maybe killed a couple dozen people.
00:10:43.000And we don't even know that because it's Hamas giving the stats.
00:10:46.000Well, the same New York Times that prints awful, idiotic columns by people like Nicholas Kristof.
00:10:51.000So, Nicholas Kristof has a piece today called, We are overpaying the price for a sin we didn't commit.
00:11:33.000So let me share why I believe someday we'll look back at this moment and see a profound moral and policy failure, says Nicholas Kristof.
00:11:38.000So what exactly is the profound moral and policy failure?
00:11:43.000The profound moral and policy failure is not stopping the Jews from defending themselves.
00:11:48.000He says, to conclude his column, quote, The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has condemned what he called clear violations of international humanitarian law we are witnessing in Gaza.
00:11:58.000The Biden administration, which in the context of Ukraine constantly speaks of international law, vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for humanitarian pauses to deliver aid.
00:12:06.000Every account I've heard from Gaza this past week, including directly from people there who despise Hamas, suggests the civilian toll has been horrendous.
00:12:13.000One gauges that at least 53 UN staff members have been killed so far, including teachers and engineers, a psychologist and a gynecologist.
00:12:19.000And now the suffering in Gaza is set to get much worse.
00:12:21.000That's partly because hospitals are running out of diesel fuel, and Israel is not allowing fuel into the territory.
00:12:26.000I understand the reasons, says Nicholas Kristof.
00:12:28.000Hamas could use diesel fuel for its attacks on Israelis.
00:12:30.000An Israeli military spokesman also told me the UN alarmists may be exaggerating the shortages.
00:12:36.000However, says Nicholas Kristof, Israel faces an agonizing challenge.
00:12:40.000A neighboring territory is ruled by well-armed terrorists who have committed unimaginable atrocities, aimed to commit more, and now shelter in tunnels beneath a population of more than 2 million people.
00:12:48.000But the sober question must be, what policies will reduce the risk, not inflame it, while honoring the intrinsic value of Palestinian life as well as Israeli life?
00:12:56.000People will answer that question in different ways, says moral exemplar Nicholas Kristof, and I don't claim to have all the answers.
00:13:01.000But I think someday we will look back in horror at both the Hamas butchery in Israel and at the worsening tableau of suffering in Gaza, in which we are complicit.
00:13:08.000So, you see, according to Nicholas Kristof, The West, in allowing Israel to kill terrorists, in saying that Israel should, in fact, wipe Hamas off the map, is just as bad as Hamas.
00:13:27.000They don't care at all about them, but they know that you care about them.
00:13:30.000And so if the idea is that they get to survive by abusing their own citizens, and you are going to go along with that, well, you've been complicit in the continual rule of a terrorist group.
00:14:25.000A good life insurance plan can give you peace of mind that if something happens to you, your family will be able to cover mortgage payments, college costs, or other expenses.
00:14:31.000Life insurance through your workplace might not offer enough protection for your family's needs, and it's not going to follow you if you leave your job.
00:14:36.000Since life insurance typically gets more expensive as we age, now would be the time to buy.

00:15:17.000The New York Times ran a piece yesterday from Dr. Abu Safia, a pediatrician at Kemal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, called, I'm a Pediatrician in Gaza, Please Save Us From This Horror.
00:15:27.000I checked, there is literally no mention of anything Hamas did in this piece.
00:15:33.000And the New York Times printed it, because of course the idea is that Israel is responsible for everything that is going on in the Gaza Strip, which presumably is also why the United Nations, as I've said before, the most icily of international politics, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, voted 120 in favor, 14 against, 45 abstentions, in favor of a ceasefire that would only benefit Hamas.
00:15:56.000By the way, some of your favorite moral nations like Ukraine abstained.
00:16:00.000Ukraine, which demanded that Israel hand over Iron Dome to it, Ukraine abstained from this particular vote.
00:16:05.000Meanwhile, while begging an American doorstep for tens of billions of dollars to defend from Russian predations, Ukraine abstained.
00:16:11.000I'm just pointing out Ukraine here because for all the talk about how everybody owes Ukraine, Ukraine at a certain point might actually want to decide who its friends are.
00:16:18.000In any case, A huge number of nations actually abstained.
00:16:22.000That included Germany, which abstained.
00:16:27.000Only 14 nations voted against the ceasefire resolution from the United Nations.
00:16:33.000That included the United States, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Guatemala, Croatia, Czechoslovakia, Fiji, and Austria.
00:16:46.000All of the other Western nations, places like France, France voted in favor of the ceasefire.
00:17:05.000It's all a game that's being played by Hamas, using the UN as its cutout.
00:17:10.000Here was the UN chief Antonio Guterres, who the other day was trying to contextualize the mass murder of Jews in Israel by talking about Arab-Israel history.
00:17:41.000And I repeat my utter condemnation of the appalling attacks perpetrated by Hamas.
00:17:49.000There is no justification ever for the killing, injuring, and abduction of civilians.
00:17:57.000The situation in Gaza is growing more desperate by the hour.
00:18:01.000I regret that instead of a critical humanitarian pause supported by the international community, Israel has intensified its military operations.
00:18:13.000The number of civilians who have been killed and injured is totally unacceptable.
00:19:02.000He's, it's just, it's, it's, let's start with the ceasefire now.
00:19:05.000He says, same thing from Bernie Sanders again, as Jewish as a ham sandwich.
00:19:08.000Quote, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire and getting worse by the minute.
00:19:12.000Israel must obey international law and allow innocent men, women and children the food, water, medical supplies and fuel desperately needed.
00:19:17.000Now, how does he propose that it get to the innocent men, women and children when Hamas controls all of the areas of import?
00:19:25.000Meanwhile, you have other Democrats who are trying to warn Joe Biden into abandoning Israel.
00:19:29.000That would include leader of the progressive Congressional Caucus, Pramila Jayapal, who's literally warning Joe Biden to stop being so supportive of those damned Jews.
00:19:37.000He is, I think, going to be challenged to explain an issue of this moral significance to people.
00:19:45.000The American people are actually Quite far away from where the President and even Congress, the majority of Congress has been on Israel and Gaza.
00:19:55.000They support the right for Israel to defend itself, to exist, but they do not support a war crime exchanged for another war crime.
00:20:04.000And I think the President has to be careful about that.
00:20:08.000It's a war crime exchange from Hamas is desperate to equate its slaughter of babies and rape of women with Israel attempting to kill Hamas terrorists.
00:20:16.000They're desperate for this, and the West is giving it to them on a platter, at least the Western left.
00:20:20.000The Western left is giving it to them on an absolute platter.
00:21:58.000If this involves Muslim on Muslim issues, no one cares.
00:22:02.000No one cares that there have been several million Syrian refugees who have been shuttled back and forth between Turkey and Syria for years.
00:22:10.000No one cares that hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians have been killed by the Assad regime.
00:22:15.000In fact, Barack Obama pretended to care, then he cared so little that he handed it over to the Russians.
00:22:19.000Well now, according to the Voice of America, U.N.
00:22:22.000agencies are warning that Pakistan's planned expulsion of more than a million undocumented foreign nationals risks triggering a human rights catastrophe.
00:22:30.000Well apparently, Pakistan, on November 1, is going to deport 1.4 million Afghans back to the Taliban.
00:22:38.0001.4 million Afghans back to the Taliban.
00:22:42.000Apparently, the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, reports that Pakistan is currently holding 3.7 million Afghan refugees, 700,000 of whom fled Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.
00:22:52.0001.7 million are deemed to be in Pakistan illegally.
00:22:55.000Pakistan says that those who are registered as refugees, they don't have to worry, but everyone else is going to be returned to the Taliban.
00:23:12.000That whole problem of, you know, an Islamic dictatorship that masquerades as a democracy.
00:23:17.000But when it comes to Israel, we have to be... That's when human rights concerns are at their apex, is when the Jews respond to violence against the Jews.
00:23:25.000And as I say, Hamas could not be more excited about this because they're very clear about what they want to do.
00:23:29.000And one of the most amazing things that Hamas is using to its own benefit is the paternalistic sense that Westerners have about third-worlders.
00:23:36.000I mean, it really is an amazing thing.
00:23:38.000Hamas just says out loud over and over and over, we do not care about our civilians.
00:23:58.000Haniyeh is the political leader of Hamas.
00:24:01.000He's living in great style and luxury over in Qatar, where he and his group have embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars from their own citizens.
00:24:08.000And here he is saying, what we actually need is the blood of more women and children.
00:24:12.000He says, to stop this war against our children, women, and the elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes, This brutal aggression must stop.
00:25:22.000Arab and Western officials say there is substance to Israeli claims of Hamas stockpiling supplies, including desperately needed food and fuel.
00:25:29.000Hamas has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets, caches of ammunition, explosives and materials to make more, stockpiles of food, water, and medicine, according to officials.
00:25:38.000A senior Lebanese official said Hamas, which is estimated to number between 35,000 and 40,000 people, has enough stocked away to keep fighting for three to four months without resupply.
00:25:49.000The Arab and Western officials who described Hamas' supply situation spoke on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing information gleaned from human sources.
00:25:56.000The stockpiles are typically kept underground and caution that precise details on Hamas' supplies were difficult to come by.
00:26:02.000While the blockade has left Gaza's roughly 2 million people scraping by with what little food and water they scrounge up, it doesn't appear to have begun to degrade Hamas' ability to fight.
00:26:10.000The supply situation speaks to the relative sophistication of Hamas as a fighting force.
00:26:15.000And here's the key sentence from the New York Times.
00:26:16.000It's just an amazing, incredible sentence.
00:26:20.000Yet, with Gazans facing a humanitarian catastrophe, Hamas' stockpiles raise questions about what responsibility, if any, it has to the civilian population.
00:26:27.000Why would that possibly raise questions?
00:26:29.000What do you mean, what responsibility do they have?
00:26:31.000They are the governing party in the Gaza Strip.
00:26:34.000That's like saying, America during wartime.
00:26:36.000This raises questions about what responsibility America has to its own citizens for their safety.
00:26:40.000You mean that's literally why the government exists?
00:26:43.000When it comes to Hamas, it's easy to be a terrorist, man.
00:26:45.000When you're a terrorist, you can Rape, murder, kill your own citizens, put them on top of your own bombs, and the rest of the world apparently just goes, well, you know, that raises some questions about your responsibility, but in the end, we're going to blame the Jews.
00:26:56.000In the end, we're going to blame the Jews.
00:26:59.000Hamas has said little of its supply situation, but the government it runs in Gaza says it has an emergency fuel stockpile that is quickly being depleted.
00:27:07.000Those fuel stockpiles are separate from and far smaller than the 211,000 to 264,000 gallons of gas and diesel the Israeli military says Hamas has on hand.
00:27:18.000And by the way, everybody understands that Hamas is stealing everything that goes into the Gaza Strip.
00:27:24.000This notion that Israel sending in aid, that that's not going to be taken by Hamas is a lie.
00:27:28.000Of course it's going to be taken by Hamas.
00:27:31.000And that's what Hamas has been doing for literally decades.
00:27:33.000Another piece, in the last few days from NBC News, quote, The unemployment rate in Gaza is 47%.
00:27:38.000More than 80% of its population lives in poverty.
00:27:41.000Hamas, however, has funded an armed force of thousands equipped with rockets and drones and built a vast web of tunnels under Gaza.
00:27:47.000Estimates of its annual military budget range from $100 million to $350 million.
00:27:53.000House and Senate will be asking in separate hearings Wednesday and Thursday, where does all that cash come from?
00:27:58.000Hamas has filled its coffers with hundreds of millions in international aid, overt and covert injections of cash from Iran, and other ideological partners.
00:28:06.000Much of the money is public and legal, including large financial aid from Qatar via the UN.
00:28:14.000By the way, how much money does Hamas have on hand?
00:28:31.000Hamas' leadership has invested its income in an international investment portfolio worth $500 million in real estate and other assets from companies in Algeria, Saudi, Sudan, Turkey, and the UAE, which it uses to conceal and launder its money, according to a Treasury announcement.
00:28:45.000Hamas also supplements its income with various criminal enterprises.
00:28:49.000For example, Hamas has a presence in the tri-border area of South America, a region along Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, known as a haven for terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
00:28:59.000There, Hamas participates in drugs, arms, and people smuggling.
00:29:03.000So, naturally, this is all Israel's fault, right?
00:29:06.000The ceasefire is so that Israel can take care of the humanitarian situation.
00:29:32.000You destroy their capacity to make war.
00:29:35.000If you wish to win a war, that's the only thing that you can do.
00:29:39.000But again, the goal is not here to protect Palestinian civilians in the end, because again, none of these groups have cared about the predations against Palestinian civilians for 20 years.
00:29:47.000The goal here is to use the Palestinian civilians the way Hamas wants them used, as press to stop Israel from deposing Hamas.
00:30:10.000He's a terrible person who believes terrible things and funds terrible clauses.
00:30:14.000According to the New York Post, George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind pro-Palestine protests where demonstrators openly cheer Hamas A New York Post examination of Open Society Foundation's records shows Soros' grant-making network gave $13.7 million through the Tides Center.
00:30:34.000A deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group sponsoring several non-profits who have justified Hamas while claiming Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims.
00:31:02.000George Soros has given money to Jewish Voice for Peace, and if not now, both radical left-wing organizations
00:31:08.000that do not represent Jews in any serious way, and side with Hamas.
00:31:13.000So criticizing George Soros is not only not antisemitism, it is philo-Semitism,
00:31:19.000because he backs every antisemitic cause that apparently he can find.
00:31:23.000If you're wondering, by the way, how these giant rallies have snapped into place all the way across the nation and beyond, the reason is because there's an entire network of people who are basically professional protesters, and all you have to do is snap that intersectional coalition into place, and you make a call, and suddenly you got hundreds, if not hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets.
00:31:38.000We'll get to the protesters in the United States, because it wasn't just in London, over the weekend first.
00:31:44.000It's hard to get sleep these days, but I rely on my Helix Sleep mattress to make it happen.
00:31:48.000I've had my Helix Sleep mattress for, I don't know, seven, eight, nine years at this point.
00:33:28.000Well, if you've ever wondered why these giant protests are able to break out in a moment's notice, the answer is there's an entire class of professional protesters who are able to whip people into a frenzy and then get them out in fully intersectional fashion.
00:33:42.000And you can get people with trans-Palestinian flags to show up at these rallies because, again, they all share a common interest, which is to tear down the institutions of the West.
00:33:50.000Big rally in Los Angeles over the weekend.
00:33:52.000Again, it's here in the United States.
00:33:53.000Look at the size of this rally in favor of Hamas.
00:35:32.000Meanwhile, over at Columbia University, again, these are all of our moral betters, a bunch of professors.
00:35:36.000We are talking Catherine Frank, the professor of law, James Eldor, professor of law, Rashid Khalidi, who, of course, you will recall from being the person who used to give toasts for Barack Obama that are then buried by the media.
00:35:47.000That was supposed to be a big story in 2008.
00:35:49.000Rashida Khalidi was very good friends with Barack Obama.
00:35:51.000And he gave a toast to Barack Obama, basically declaring him an ally of the PLO.
00:36:09.000An open letter that blames Israel entirely for the situation.
00:36:12.000Quote, the most recent devastating violence in Israel and Gaza that began on October 7th has had a very disturbing reverberation on our campus.
00:36:18.000For all of us, students, faculty, staff, and the larger Columbia community.
00:36:21.000Oh, it's devastating violence in Israel and Gaza that began on October 7th.
00:36:25.000Oh, the violence in Gaza began on October 7th.
00:36:28.000The violence in Israel began when Hamas murdered 1,500 people in the worst terror attack in a generation.
00:36:34.000We write now, say these professors, to express grave concerns about how some of our students are being viciously targeted with doxing, public shaming, surveillance by members of our community, including other students, reprisals from employers.
00:36:57.000They quote Desmond Tutu saying, quote, who of course is a moral moron when it comes to the Middle East and has been forever.
00:37:09.000I mean, this guy was literally meeting with Yasser Arafat in the 1980s.
00:37:13.000Jimmy Carter saying that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is even worse than South Africa, which is an absurdity on the highest possible level.
00:37:23.000The statement concludes with the demand that Columbia University Reverse the decision to create curricular and research programs in Israel.
00:38:11.000Columbia University continues to be absolutely blind.
00:38:13.000Meanwhile, over at Cornell, violent threats were made sufficient to essentially shut down the Kosher Dining Hall and the Center for Jewish Living.
00:38:22.000According to media, police were on the scene and investigating at Cornell's Center for Jewish Living.
00:38:26.000After heinous threats to the building and Jewish students were posted online.
00:38:30.000Screenshots at social media Sunday of heinous messages posted in a Cornell University discussion forum over the weekend.
00:38:36.000Calling for the murder of Jewish students and making specific threats.
00:38:39.000Quote, if I see another Jew on campus, if I see a pig male Jew, I will stab you and slit your throat.
00:38:44.000If I see another pig female Jew, I will drag you and rape you and throw you off a cliff.
00:38:47.000If I see another pig baby Jew, I will behead you in front of your parents.
00:38:49.000If I see another synagogue, another rally for the Zionist globalist genocide apartheid dictatorial entity known as Israel, I will bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig Jews.
00:38:56.000Jews are human animals and deserve a pig's death.
00:38:58.000Liberation by any means from the river to the sea.
00:39:04.000So the Hillel Center had to warn students to stay away for their own safety.
00:39:09.000Great stuff happening over there at Cornell.
00:39:11.000Cornell also was met with a bunch of graffiti on the streets, including F-Israel, Free Palestine, Zionism equals genocide, and all the rest.
00:39:19.000This comes shortly after one of their professors declared the October 7th terror attack on Israel exhilarating and energizing.
00:39:27.000So, solid stuff happening over at Cornell University as well.
00:39:29.000Again, are universities garbage heaps?
00:39:33.000Okay, on the international level, one of the reasons why you're seeing so much international support for Hamas is because there are regimes that see backing Hamas as a way to strike against the Western coalition, particularly the United States.
00:39:44.000Hamas's leadership, by the way, openly admits this.
00:39:47.000So, Hamas, their leader, Danny Machal told Egyptian TV, quote, Russia benefited from our attack because we diverted the Americans' attention from them and Ukraine.
00:39:56.000They said they'll teach the October 7th attack in their military academies.
00:39:58.000The Chinese said it's a model and they'll do the same thing to Taiwan.
00:40:01.000Again, weakness in the face of terrorism breeds contempt from the world's worst, worst people.
00:40:09.000Meanwhile, China is looking to intervene.
00:40:12.000They have ratcheted up the anti-Semitism on places like TikTok.
00:40:16.000China Daily ran an editorial on Monday declaring the United States was, quote, on the wrong side of history in Gaza.
00:40:21.000It said Washington was exacerbating the conflict by blindly backing Israel.
00:40:24.000You know, we've seen this movie again.
00:40:25.000This is exactly what happened in the 1960s after the Six-Day War.
00:40:28.000During the Six-Day War, The Soviet Union flipped on Israel.
00:40:32.000Between 48 and 67, they were kind of pro-Israel because they kind of thought maybe Israel was going to be a socialist state.
00:40:37.000And then, when a pan-Arab movement rose up to try and destroy the state of Israel, the Soviets sided with the pan-Arab movement in a hope to try and create alliances and oil access for the Soviet Union, and they started propagating the myth that Israel was an actual colonial extension as opposed to a decolonization effort by the indigenous Jews.
00:40:58.000Basically, for strategic reasons, Russia and China are trying to ally themselves with Iran and with terror groups across the region and with radicalized Muslims worldwide.
00:41:08.000Hu Zhijin, an influential commentator and former editor-in-chief to the Global Times, which is a Communist Party newspaper, responded to hawkish statements from an Israeli minister directed at Hezbollah, writing, quote, Oh, calm down, Israel.
00:41:18.000I'm worried you'll wipe the earth out of the solar system.
00:41:21.000Again, China is not being shy about who they back in this particular conflict.
00:41:25.000Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is literally hosting Hamas at the Kremlin.
00:41:30.000So, he sees an avenue for exacerbating tensions in the region, maybe drawing American resources away from Ukraine and toward what's going on in the Middle East.
00:41:41.000And so, Putin personally met with the leadership of Hamas at the Kremlin.
00:41:46.000Meanwhile, over in Turkey, Erdogan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is the dictator of Turkey, he's now threatening to declare war on Israel and send the military to Gaza.
00:41:57.000That is not going to happen, by the way, but he is threatening it.
00:41:59.000And the reason he's threatening that, obviously, is because he would like to be part of this Russian-Chinese axis that is forming up in the Middle East.
00:42:06.000Here's some pictures of a rally in Istanbul.
00:42:08.000Obviously, the government is behind rallies like this one as well in Istanbul.
00:43:10.000So what you will see in this clip or here is a Hamas fan tearing down posters of kidnapped kids.
00:43:16.000This has become a thing all across the country is that fans of Hamas have decided that there really are no hostages or the hostages don't matter even though they're small babies who are currently being held in captivity who will almost certainly be murdered.
00:44:25.000Well, that guy has a free Shabbos dinner on me anytime he wants it.
00:44:40.000I think most Americans think like that.
00:44:41.000By the way, better expression of free speech than everyone on college campus.
00:44:44.000You have a right to say whatever you want, but if you start ripping down those posters, you start doing that, I'll litter the floor with you.
00:44:49.000Like that's, that's pretty, that's pretty classic New York.
00:44:51.000And not only is it classic New York, that used to be what America's, I think that's still what America is made of.
00:44:56.000If it weren't for the decolonization coalition out there that stands for Hamas.
00:45:01.000By the way, you can see how fast this guy backs down the minute that he's confronted by somebody who actually muscularly is saying no.
00:45:06.000Hey, that's a pretty good microcosm of how international politics actually works.
00:45:10.000People are very, very easy about violating Western morality because they think that the Westerners are going to do nothing but stand by and tape them.
00:45:17.000And the minute they're confronted, all of a sudden they get real shy.
00:45:20.000And that's exactly what happens in that clip.
00:45:22.000Okay, in just one second, we'll get to some breaking news in the presidential race.
00:45:28.000It's a holistic wellness brand with a huge range of evidence-based products to optimize your life in every way.
00:45:32.000The products help you sleep better, perform better, recover faster, reduce inflammation, and so much more.
00:45:36.000From blue light glasses to red light therapy, Boncharge products help you naturally address the issues of our modern-day way of life effortlessly and with maximum impact.
00:45:44.000If you haven't already checked out the infrared sauna blanket from Boncharge, you need to right now.
00:45:50.000Basically, it's like a sauna in a blanket.
00:45:52.000It works by using infrared light, which heats the body directly rather than the air around you like a traditional sauna, which means you get the same benefits at a lower heat.
00:46:30.000Okay, meanwhile, on the presidential side of the aisle, the Republican Party continues to have a pretty not contested primary.
00:46:38.000I mean, if you look at the polling data right now, this is not a particularly close election.
00:46:42.000In the national polling averages, I know it's been a while, but in the national polling averages, Donald Trump is currently up 59 to 13.
00:46:48.000Over Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley at 8%, Vivek Ramaswamy at 4.5%.
00:46:52.000In Iowa, Trump running a similarly large lead.
00:46:55.000The latest Iowa State Civics Poll has Trump up 55 to 17.
00:46:59.000Over DeSantis, Haley at 11, Ramaswamy at 5, Scott at 4.
00:47:03.000Well, the field needs to consolidate because the reality is that Trump has such a large lead right now that And unless there is some sort of consolidation, he's just going to walk through the field pretty obviously, whatever else his foibles.
00:47:13.000And given the fact that the world right now is on fire and that the world was not on fire when Donald Trump was president, his case to be president of the United States again is pretty easy, which is shut the hell up and point at the guy who's the president.
00:47:25.000Again, that's a pretty easy case for Donald Trump to make.
00:47:29.000Even if he's bogged down now, you know, I was, listen, I was doubtful that a guy bogged down with four separate trials over the course of an election cycle was going to have an amazing shot at victory.
00:47:41.000But I may have underestimated just how bad a president Joe Biden is.
00:47:44.000So Joe Biden is really, really bad at this, and it turns out that he's basically set everything on fire.
00:47:49.000And so if Donald Trump just walks back into the room, like Donald Glover from that outtake from Community, that meme from Community where he walks in and everybody's on fire, then he might become president again.
00:47:59.000Well, one of the ways the field is consolidating is that Mike Pence has just dropped out.
00:48:02.000So Mike Pence is really not running a campaign for president.
00:48:05.000He's really running a campaign to justify What he did on January 6th, which is to stand up for the Constitution.
00:48:12.000Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th.
00:48:13.000He did not have the right or the obligation under the Constitution of the United States to reject state-certified electoral votes.
00:48:19.000That was not something that was called for by the Constitution of the United States.
00:48:22.000He was speaking at the annual Republican-Jewish convention in Las Vegas.
00:48:29.000And he announced that this was not his time.
00:48:31.000He said he was going to suspend his campaign for president effective today.
00:48:35.000And then he gave a bit of a speech talking about what he hopes the future of the Republican Party is.
00:48:42.000Will Republicans continue to be the party of the traditional conservatives that has defined our movement over the past 40 years?
00:48:54.000Or will our party follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles?
00:49:03.000As war rages in Eastern Europe and Israel, and China continues its provocations in the Asia-Pacific, a new populist movement in the Republican Party says that America should retreat from her leadership position, turn inward and focus solely on domestic concerns.
00:49:29.000I don't have to tell people gathered here that there are powerful voices within and outside our party that say we have to choose between supporting our allies and solving problems here at home.
00:49:43.000Let me say from my heart, Anyone who says that America cannot solve our problems at home and be the leader of the free world has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth.
00:49:58.000So that was Pence's case, and the reality is that Pence's case has now been taken up by pretty much the entire field.
00:50:03.000There's a bit of exaggeration that's now going on inside the Republican field.
00:50:06.000So there's people who are saying, oh, there's a lot of isolationists inside.
00:50:09.000Donald Trump was not an isolationist president.
00:50:11.000Donald Trump did not get us into any new wars because he was muscular on foreign policy.
00:50:16.000Because if you messed with him, you didn't know if he was going to fire a missile at you.
00:50:19.000You screw with him enough and he kills Qasem Soleimani.
00:50:22.000Meanwhile, he's out there cutting deal with the Saudis.
00:50:24.000That is not a non-interventionist foreign policy.
00:50:26.000That is a muscular peace through strength foreign policy that is, in fact, very reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's foreign policy.
00:50:33.000For all the talk about Donald Trump being wildly conciliatory toward Russia, his policies on Russia were significantly harsher than Barack Obama's were.
00:50:39.000Barack Obama literally cut a deal with Dimitri Medvedev literally on camera in the run-up to the 2012 election.
00:50:47.000So there's a feeling inside the Republican Party that's largely driven by the media and by social media that there are these huge gaps in terms of foreign policy.
