Hamas is not like the rest of us. They are not like you. They do not care about your kids the way you do. They hide behind their own kids. They cannot be reasoned with, and they cannot be negotiated with. And that is why they will continue to do horrible things to innocent people, even if they are hiding behind your own children. They will not negotiate with you, and you will not be able to reason with them. You are not the only one who loves death for Allah like you do, you are not even the most decent human being. You do not share the same values and values as you do about the things you seek in life. And you do not seek freedom the same way we seek freedom. We all seek a decent way of life, but not all human beings think the same thing about their own children, and we do not all care about them the way we do about our own kids, and that's why they do not hide behind them. They are a group of people who have been indoctrinated, cult-like since youth, in a system of cancerous hatred so strong, they are willing to commit the worst atrocities since the Nazis, and then post them online and celebrate them, and revel in them online, in the name of martyrdom, and in the banner of Allah. We shall liberate its land with blood, with blood. We shall return as liberators, with our heads held high and carrying the flag of freedom, and carry the banner that bears the banner of There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger and Muhammad, our messenger is His messenger, and He is our messenger, our messiah, and he is His messiah And He is the messenger, the messenger of His messenger. And he is not a monster, but a good and good, not a bad person, and so on, and his messenger, so we can be rational, and not a good person, not bad, and a good, good, and good and bad, not good, but good, we are a good man, not evil, and beautiful, not ugly, and evil, not hateful, but beautiful, and brave, and wise, and noble, and fair, and strong, and compassionate, and kind, and lovely, and nice, and all of that, and also good, etc, etc., etc., and so forth, etc. etc. And so much so that they don t care about their kids.
00:00:00.000I know the past few days have been really hard to watch.
00:00:02.000I know this show has been really difficult to watch and to listen to.
00:00:06.000And so I want to take a moment to explain why I'm showing you all this video and playing all the audio and showing you all the pictures of the atrocities that the terrorist group Hamas has taken and released.
00:00:15.000Why I'm showing you the abduction of raped women and the kidnapping of families and the murder and burning of children.
00:00:30.000So we see somebody do something truly evil, and we think to ourselves, well, that is terrible, but the only reason I would do something like that is if something truly awful happened to me.
00:00:39.000After all, people are generally reasonable, generally peaceable, generally decent.
00:01:00.000We can all tell ourselves these comforting little lies before you see the pictures of what true evil does, but you can't tell those lies to yourself after you see the pictures, after you see the videos, after you listen to the audio, because here's the thing.
00:01:12.000Nothing anyone has ever done to you or could ever do to you would cause you to do these things.
00:01:19.000No territorial dispute would cause you to butcher babies.
00:01:22.000No squabble over territory would cause you to rape and abduct women.
00:01:27.000No so-called occupation would cause you to kidnap entire families or burn them alive in their homes.
00:01:33.000The only type of person who would do something like that is a person who isn't like you.
00:01:38.000A person who thinks differently than you do.
00:01:41.000A person who does not value life or children or decency the same way that you do.
00:01:46.000A person who might proclaim, for example, that they love death like you love life.
00:01:51.000I am not going to talk to you, you know that. I am not telling you. Give me my passport.
00:01:58.000Today you Israelis are fighting those who love death for Allah like you love life.
00:02:04.000And who compete among themselves for martyrdom like you flee from death.
00:02:08.000A person who might say we love martyrdom.
00:02:17.000We love death like our enemies love life.
00:02:20.000We love martyrdom, the way in which Hamas leaders died.
00:02:24.000The kind of person who might call for killing their own children to wipe out the Jews.
00:02:32.000As Hamas' spokesperson from the Al-Sawarqa tribe in Gaza, the Palestinian people shall never relinquish the right of return.
00:02:39.000The Palestinian people shall liberate its land with blood, with martyrs, with women, with children.
00:02:52.000We shall return as liberators with our heads held high and carrying the banner of there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.
00:03:11.000See, contrary to the peculiar narcissism of many Westerners, there are lots of people around the world who don't think like we do.
00:03:17.000Who don't actually care about their children the way we do, which is why they hide rocket launchers behind their own kids.
00:03:23.000Who will willingly murder Jewish babies just because they are Jewish babies.
00:03:26.000Who have been indoctrinated, cult-like since youth, in a system of cancerous hatred so strong, they're willing to commit the worst atrocities since the Nazis, and then post them online and celebrate them.
00:03:39.000Those who celebrate Hamas are not like you.
00:03:41.000And here's the thing, they exploit that fact.
00:03:43.000They murder your children and they hide behind their own.
00:03:46.000They rely on your cultural narcissism to make you believe the death of the kids they are hiding behind is somehow your fault.
00:03:52.000You see, if they care about their kids the way you do, it must be your fault when their children die in airstrikes they provoke while hiding behind their own children.
00:04:00.000They expect you to care more about their kids than they do themselves.
00:04:03.000But what's more important, they expect you to believe that they care about their own children when they manifestly care more about other things.
00:05:10.000The myth that everyone is a Westerner underneath has to end, or the West is going to end, because narcissism is the preserve of the safe and the fat and the happy, but reality comes with shocking and brutal violence, unless we wake up.
00:05:24.000And the only thing that wakes us up, the only thing, is looking the ugly reality of evil directly in its evil face.
00:05:31.000And that's why I'm showing you this ugly reality, that hideous reality.
00:05:35.000I don't want to do it, but we have to do it, because we have to wake up, because if we don't, The West, we will sleepwalk our way right into our own extermination.
00:05:46.000So, I'm gonna show you more stuff today that's going to shake up your sleep.
00:05:50.000I'm gonna show you more stuff today that's gonna remind you of the people that the West faces down, the people that Israelis are facing down right now in the Gaza Strip.
00:05:57.000I'm gonna show you more of what they do, what they say, what they celebrate.
00:06:03.000Because this peculiar, pseudo-sophisticated idea about foreign policy, well, it's all just about negotiations.
00:06:08.000That you can negotiate your way into magic with people who wish to murder you and your children.
00:06:15.000That is not just foolishness, it's dangerous foolishness, truly dangerous foolishness.
00:06:20.000So, I've been combing through all of the video and audio.
00:06:24.000It is flowing out at an extraordinary rate from Hamas videos posted on various websites, from people on the ground, first responders who are taking pictures of what's happening.
00:06:36.000These are pictures of the entrance to Kibbutz Be'eri.
00:06:39.000That is one of the sites where over a hundred Jews were found murdered.
00:06:43.000These are civilians who are attempting to drive out of Kibbutz Be'eri.
00:06:47.000Hamas stopped them and then burned them alive.
00:06:50.000I mean, these are Holocaust-level images.
00:06:57.000Kfar Aza is the site of, as I'm sure many people have heard by now, apparently 40 babies were murdered there and some were beheaded according to media sources.
00:07:06.000Kfar Aza is also where the Hadad family was burned alive.
00:07:09.000You can see in these pictures that the house is burned down.
00:07:12.000They set the house on fire and then you had two choices to stay in the house and be burned alive or to run out and be shot on site by Hamas terrorists.
00:07:20.000They found grenades, found burning wreckage, and you can see in those pictures the charred skeleton.
00:07:28.000You can see another charred skeleton outside of a truck.
00:07:32.000You can see the burned bodies of Jews murdered by the Hamas terrorists.
00:10:23.000Yosef Haddad, by the way, who's the source of some of this material, is an Israeli Arab who's been covering some of this from Israel.
00:10:30.000According to Bild, which is the German newspaper, one of the terrorists had a two-year-old child with him, beat him, and threw him on the porch.
00:11:04.000CNN has confirmed the atrocities in Kfar Aza.
00:11:08.000Again, a lot of pathetic rumor mongering around yesterday because Israel ushered in the foreign press into some of these areas that you could see the site before it was cleared so people can see the atrocities that had taken place.
00:11:21.000And multiple members of the press confirmed 40 babies dead in this village.
00:11:25.000And that's not a particular shock because Israel's an incredibly young country with a lot of children.
00:11:29.000Israel values its children like no country on earth, truly.
00:11:32.000The secular people in Israel have three kids apiece.
00:11:34.000It is the only country in the West I've discussed many times that actually has an above replacement rate demography.
00:12:49.000Well, they didn't behead 40 babies, they may have just beheaded some babies.
00:12:51.000Well, clearly, then, these are people who think just like you, and negotiations should take place, and probably a ceasefire should be declared, obviously.
00:12:58.000Um, we have videos that have emerged of families being held captive.
00:13:01.000We now know that in this particular video, the daughters are missing.
00:13:04.000Pictures of them have been found in Gaza.
00:13:05.000This is the family being held captive.
00:13:06.000This is video that was put out by Hamas.
00:15:51.000Now, we can all be sympathetic to the civilians who are stuck in Gaza, obviously.
00:15:56.000We should also remember that the only people who seem to give any shit at all
00:15:59.000about Palestinian life in Gaza in this conflict the Israeli troops.
00:16:04.000Those are the only people who seem to be perturbed at all about the civilian casualties.
00:16:09.000In fact, Palestinian civilians have told NBC that Israel is telling them to evacuate.
00:16:16.000In terms of how Israel goes about reducing civilian casualties, they say that they use very precise intelligence before they strike any specific location.
00:16:26.000I've been inside Gaza when Israel has been bombing, and you meet Palestinians who say that their phone rang, and on the other end of the line was an Israeli military officer telling them in Arabic, We're going to strike your apartment building because there is Hamas infrastructure in it, but we want you to go door by door first and make sure that there's nobody inside the building before we strike.
00:16:51.000And by the way, this has been substantiated on every score.
00:16:53.000Israel was putting out publicly media yesterday in Arabic telling civilians where to evacuate from and where to evacuate to.
00:17:16.000Residents of the Shirk area, Al-Shuwaya neighborhood specifically, please go to the shelter or to the center of Gaza City.
00:17:22.000And then there's a map showing where you need to evacuate from and where you need to evacuate to.
00:17:26.000We are talking about these instructions for your purpose, protection and assistance in distinguishing between terrorist organizations and citizens.
00:17:32.000Citizens, in order to help us in this, you must follow our preparations.
00:17:37.000That is Israel literally providing maps to the civilians on the other side of the border.
00:17:42.000An IDF commander yesterday went on TV explaining how they are working to minimize civilian casualties.
00:17:52.000What we have been doing from the air over the last hours and actually an entire day
00:18:00.000is striking Hamas targets with great power and severity.
00:18:06.000We have been striking all of the different targets, the military targets belonging to Hamas.
00:18:11.000Now, you may have seen footage on TV or on social media, and you may see a building standing, and then flashes, and then the building collapses.
00:18:21.000And you say to yourself, well, that looks very much like a civilian building.
00:18:25.000What I want to tell you is that no, that isn't a civilian building.
00:18:33.000Because Hamas uses all, locates all of their offices, headquarters, their research and development, and all of their other military assets.
00:18:45.000If it's above ground, they locate themselves in civilian buildings.
00:18:51.000And Hamas being the cowards that they are, they never put signs on their buildings saying, welcome to the Hamas headquarters for planning terrorist activity in Israel or welcome to the Research and Development Center for drones and projectiles.
00:19:08.000You will never see that because Hamas wants to disguise itself as civilians and they use civilian buildings for military purposes, which makes it a legitimate military target.
00:19:21.000And those are the targets that we are striking with tremendous force over the last days.
00:19:27.000Those are the images that you're seeing coming out of Gaza.
00:19:32.000So Israel is attempting to minimize the civilian casualties on the Hamas side, on the Hamas side of the line.
00:19:48.000They enjoy broad popular support inside the Gaza Strip.
00:19:52.000A poll from June 15th, 2021 found that three quarters of Palestinians viewed the Islamic militants as victors in the last battle against Israel.
00:20:03.000A scientific poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found 53% of all Palestinians believed Hamas was the most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people.
00:20:19.000Israel is trying to save the civilians and meanwhile, Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas have put out audio telling people not to leave.
00:20:27.000There's a message in Arabic and here's what it says, quote, we will renew the call to the citizens not to deal with the recorded voice messages that the occupation randomly sends through the citizens' phones asking them to leave their home, which aims to cause panic and fear as part of the psychological warfare accompanying the occupation's aggression against our people.
00:20:46.000In other words, stay and be murdered for the cameras.
00:23:41.000And all the donations are going right now to critical essentials like food and medicine and other emergency supplies in preparation for more conflict.
00:24:31.000Again, this is right here in the United States.
00:24:36.000We have reporters already lamenting the death toll in Gaza.
00:24:40.000We all ought to lament the death toll in Gaza, and every ounce of blood that is spilled in Gaza, every ounce of blood spilled in Gaza is the result of Hamas.
00:26:02.000It's against anything that we all believe in.
00:26:05.000Every time we had missiles shot at us, I used to say to my children that they should be sympathetic towards the children of Gaza because they suffer a lot more than they do.
00:26:16.000I'm not sure I still believe in it now.
00:26:19.000And I must say the only worry I have now from the bombings in Gaza is the fact that my children are there.
00:26:29.000I can't be sympathetic to animal human beings.
00:26:32.000Well, they're not really human beings who came into my house, broke everything, stole everything, took my children from their bedrooms and took them to the Gaza Strip.
00:26:42.000Israel never done that and will never do.
00:26:53.000People on the left particularly are looking for the symmetry.
00:26:56.000Because again, all cultures are created equal.
00:26:59.000This is the premise of so much left-wing thought.
00:27:03.000A full-scale moral idiot, Hasan Piker, he's an emissary of this.
00:27:06.000Yesterday, he was ranting and raving on his Twitch stream about this and suggesting, of course, why would you... that the only reason, the only reason that you might murder a Jewish baby is because, obviously, years of victimization.
00:27:37.000Your goal is the continuation of violence.
00:27:39.000You want way more than 260 people dying.
00:27:42.000You want every single Palestinian to be f***ing executed ruthlessly in the streets so that you can build another f***ing theme park in Gaza.
00:28:41.000Now, I'm going to attribute this to, again, the peculiar narcissism of people like Hasan Piker who believes that everybody thinks like they do.
00:28:48.000And I would ask people like Hasan Piker, okay, if that's the case, if you really believe that victimization is what causes people to murder babies in their beds for the crime of being Jewish and breathing, then what would cause you to do something like that?
00:28:59.000Is there any level of victimization you could undergo that would cause you to do something like that?
00:29:05.000I think highly enough, even of people who I think are intellectual cretins like Hasan Piker, that I don't actually think that he thinks that.
00:29:13.000There's nothing that could make him do something like that.
00:29:15.000I'll give him at least that much credit.
00:29:17.000But the peculiar narcissism that drives you to believe that everybody thinks like you do and then to immediately jump to Israel is attempting to wipe out.
00:29:26.000Israel has not had a presence in the Gaza Strip since 2005.
00:30:17.000Speaking of ignorance and hating Jews crossing streams...
00:30:20.000Black Lives Matter, which I remember a lot of people were strangely perturbed when Black Lives Matter in its earliest iterations had a bunch of statements on its website in support of the Palestinians and against Israel.
00:30:31.000And they're like, what does that have to do with Black Lives Matter?
00:30:33.000The answer is the intersectional anti-Western coalition that suggests that freedoms and liberties are essentially a tool of a white supremacist patriarchy.
00:31:03.000Or is the reason they're using the hang glider in this graphic because Palestinian terrorists, Hamas terrorists, took hang gliders to an EDM festival and murdered 260 people.
00:31:21.000They literally put on the graphic a terrorist in a hang glider and they said, I stand with Palestine.
00:31:26.000So first of all, for all the people who are claiming that the Palestinians don't support this sort of stuff, I feel like you think they do.
00:31:39.000I don't think it has to, but I've noticed an enormous number of cross streams here from you guys.
00:31:45.000And then they put out a statement, perfectly egregious, as usual, for Black Lives Matter and for all you fools who gave them money under the auspices of you were trying to help.
00:31:52.000You were just trying to help because you're ignorant and stupid.
00:31:55.000You gave them money and you marched with them, believing that they were on your side, on the side of broader human rights and liberalism.
00:32:01.000And it turns out they're just intersectional trash, the Black Lives Matter organization.
00:32:39.000But it's all the same then, doesn't matter.
00:32:40.000As black people continue to fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear open the gates of the world's largest open-air prison.
00:32:50.000As a radical black organization grounded in abolitionist ideals, we see clear parallels between black and Palestinian people.
00:32:57.000Man, America better hope that's not true.
00:33:03.000We, too, understand what it means to be surveilled, dehumanized, property seized, families separated, our people criminalized and slaughtered with impunity, locked up in droves, and when we resist, they call us terrorists.
00:33:11.000We, too, dream of a world where our people may live freely on decolonized land.
00:33:14.000This is what decolonization means, by the way.
00:33:16.000It means murdering babies in their homes.
00:33:36.000That says some pretty awful and terrible things.
00:33:41.000So on the left, a lot of this boils down to This sort of bizarre decolonization narrative whereby murdering Jews is fine because Jews are white people and because Jews are white people.
00:33:53.000By the way, most Jews in Israel are not.
00:33:58.000Because the Jews are supposedly white people, this means that it's an act of decolonial resistance to murder Jews wherever they are in the state of Israel.
00:34:07.000That seems to be the line from so many people on the left these days.
00:34:12.000The elected student president of the NYU Law School Bar Association sent out a message, for example, refusing to condemn Hamas's mass slaughter and cheerleading it.
00:34:19.000Quote, Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life.
00:34:23.000This regime of state-sanctioned violence creates the conditions that made resistance necessary.
00:34:27.000Oh, you see, it's all a territorial dispute, guys.
00:34:29.000If only Israel had just, you know, conceded the Gaza Strip and gotten out in 2005, which they did.
00:34:34.000If only they had done that, clearly, peace would have been on the horizon.
00:34:36.000It's all the Israelis' fault that Jews were murdered by the most vicious anti-Semites of our era.
00:34:44.000I will say that there is a great irony to this person who was the NYU Law School Bar Association president, lost her job at, she was going to come out and work at a big law firm, to work for a big corporation, a big corporate law firm, and they preemptively fired her.
00:34:59.000You know, I'm not a fan of cancel culture generally, but I've said before that there is an Overton window.
00:35:04.000It seems to me that when you openly support a terrorist group murdering babies and raping women, at that point I feel like, I feel at that point as though you probably don't have to be hired by a law firm.
00:35:13.000Call it, call it, call me crazy, call it, call it whatever you want.
00:35:15.000Once you start supporting the murder of babies, I feel like at that point, fair game for you to lose your job.
00:35:21.000That seems like that one is pretty obvious.
00:35:24.000Meanwhile, campuses are plotting a day of resistance in support of Hamas.
00:35:27.000This would be the students for justice in Palestine.
00:35:33.000And Palestine as a state does not exist specifically because the Palestinian leadership, the PA, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas have rejected every single peace deal ever offered to them in the history, in the history of this entire conflict.
00:35:46.000So they're putting out a presence on college campuses across the country.
00:35:49.000By the way, I'm noticing that all the microaggression folks, all the folks who are saying, you know, it really is offensive and microaggression for you to use the wrong pronoun.
00:35:56.000It's a microaggression for you to say things like, I'm colorblind.
00:36:00.000All those same people are peculiarly silent when it comes to mass rallies across the United States on college campuses in support of a terrorist group.
00:36:07.000Suddenly they go, all the microaggression crowd, they're silent, just quiet.
00:37:13.000They throw you off a f***ing building.
00:37:16.000But I'm glad that you guys have your intersectional coalition of cute terror support.
00:37:22.000A labor union championed by Bernie Sanders and representative Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez and other liberals expressed solidarity with Hamas terrorists.
00:37:29.000According to the Washington Free Beacon, Starbucks Workers Unified, an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union, expressed solidarity with Palestine and deleted social media posts.
00:37:38.000Union chapters in Iowa, Chicago, and Boston promoted rallies in support of Palestinian attacks, including a long-lived Palestinian resistance rally to be held in Boston on Monday.
00:37:47.000That Starbucks Union represents 9,000 baristas and joins other American liberal groups in siding with Palestinians over their Israeli targets.
00:37:55.000The DSA, the Democratic Socialists of America, which counts six House Democrats as members, held rallies in several American cities calling for support for the Palestinians.
00:38:03.000The original organizer of the union, Jaz Brissac, has praised Palestinian terrorist Razmi Odeh as a freedom fighter and has chanted, from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.
00:38:13.000And in the middle of this, tweeted, quote, there's no two sides to apartheid-free Palestine.
00:38:18.000Meanwhile, one individual union member, Kyle, of the Starbucks Workers United, freeing Palestine was never going to be flowers and baby animals.
00:38:43.000Israel sometimes wants to do things that are not in America's interest, and America frequently wants to do things that are not in Israel's interest.
00:38:48.000Like, for example, cut deals with Iranian terrorists, terror regimes.
00:38:53.000That sort of stuff happens all the time, because sovereign countries are sovereign.
00:38:57.000Also worth noting, You can be a realist on foreign policy without being immoral.
00:39:02.000There's a segment of the Republican Party that has basically decided that if the bad idea in foreign policy for years was, there's a moral conflict, let's jump in, then the reverse of that, and what we need is, there's a moral conflict, let's butt out.
00:40:34.000Hezbollah has 150,000 rockets pointed at the north of Israel.
00:40:37.000If Hezbollah attacks Israel with those rockets, Israel will be stretched to the breaking point.
00:40:42.000If Israel is stretched to the breaking point, it is not going to worry about the niceties of war.
00:40:46.000It is going to eviscerate the entire southern border of Lebanon.
00:40:50.000If Israel eviscerates the entire southern border of Lebanon and also has to then hit all the supply chain roads into the southern border of Lebanon, Syria will get involved.
00:41:00.000If Syria gets involved, Israel will have to hit bases in Syria.
00:41:03.000If bases in Syria get hit, Iran will get involved and Iran will drag in its client state or its sponsor state, Russia.
00:41:12.000Remember, Iran is a state that is joined with Russia.
00:41:15.000Russia basically runs Syria at this point, and Russia's already signaling support for all of this.
00:41:19.000So, if you wish to prevent this cascading into a war into which the United States inevitably will be drawn, you know what would be good?
00:41:27.000Arming Israel to the teeth so they can actually prevent this from escalating into a broader regional war.
00:41:31.000If the idea in the war in Ukraine is that most of the goals have been achieved, Ukraine has been protected, Kiev is not going to fall, But the end goal is not clear.
00:41:40.000The end goal is pretty f***ing clear right now for Israel.
00:41:50.000Providing support necessary to do that seems pretty contained and pretty doable.
00:41:53.000And yet you're seeing this kind of knee-jerk anti-morality on the part of some on the right.
00:41:59.000Because you have to stroke your chin and pretend that it's a sophisticated perspective to take a sort of morally ambiguous view of all this.
00:42:06.000I'm seeing this from some people who I like people whose work I've enjoyed in the past, and I gotta say, it's either ignorance about foreign policy, or cowardice, or something darker and worse.
00:42:20.000So to take an example of just moral ambiguity for no reason at all, Jason Whitlock, for some odd reason, who again, I like Jason, I know Jason, I like a lot of his work, Jason has decided that it's important to sound off to me generally and say, well you know what, you have to understand why people are not so exercised about babies being killed in their beds in their room. I mean,
00:42:38.000after all, there have been a lot of conspiracy theories out there. Yeah, I know. What's the
00:42:43.000conspiracy theory to which you're referring right now that people should give credence? What
00:42:46.000is it? Seriously, like, spell it out for me. I'd like you to spell it out. What is the
00:42:51.000conspiracy theory that leads people to somehow draw a morally ambiguous line here? Explain it to me in
00:42:57.000short words. We've been fed so much bad information about historic events
00:43:09.000that we have a what what the theme of today's show is.
00:43:40.000That everybody doesn't have the same level of outrage, the same level of emotion about this event that he does.
00:43:49.000I've seen a lot of this where people are policing other people's thoughts and emotions about what's going on in Israel between Israel and Hamas, Israel and Iran, Israel and Palestinians.
00:44:04.000People are put, Hey, this is how you should feel.
00:44:07.000And we're getting all these images of the atrocities that happened in Israel and everybody's commenting, how can you not be outraged?
00:45:36.000And so I tweeted, they can f*** right off because that's exactly right.
00:45:41.000It turns out that when people murder your kids, you have no obligation to call a truce.
00:45:45.000In fact, you have a moral obligation not to call a truce.
00:45:48.000This drove Andrew Tate Who is a very important person because he flexes his muscles a lot and doesn't wear shirts and does a lot of curls.
00:45:55.000The height of human moral and intellectual achievement is, of course, that you used to punch people in the face, you do curls now, and you openly bragged about trafficking women on webcams.
00:46:08.000We have to take you incredibly seriously as a tough guy because of that.
00:46:34.000What else would you call it when you have terrorist murder kids in their beds, for God's sake, and your immediate response is, well, peace is always worth a conversation.
00:46:41.000Again, either you're ignorant or you don't give a s***.
00:49:00.000Tucker, by the way, then continued along these lines.
00:49:02.000He did an interview with Vivek Ramaswamy, and he likened what just happened in Israel, the kidnapping of women, and their rape.
00:49:09.000I mean, he's showing video of this happening, like, as he's talking about this.
00:49:12.000He compared that to drug overdose deaths in the United States.
00:49:16.000Now, I believe we should fully care about the 100,000 drug overdose deaths that happened in the United States.
00:49:20.000These are two completely different issues.
00:49:23.000To go this far afield to link the issues, the only reason you're doing this is because you wish to downplay the atrocity that just happened in Israel.
00:49:30.000You're not upplaying the atrocity of what's happening on America's streets.
00:49:32.000Those are two different types of atrocities.
00:49:35.000People who are addicted to fentanyl, sticking needles in their arms, and overdosing is a moral blight.
00:49:41.000It is a moral atrocity and a moral evil for people to kidnap women, rape them, and drag them back to the Gaza border.
00:49:58.000Now, again, I don't know who thinks that's a sophisticated point of view, especially when nobody is calling for America to go to war with Iran.
00:50:04.000The entire purpose of having an aircraft carrier in the Mediterranean is to avoid that.
00:50:08.000But here is Tucker playing, I don't even know the game he's playing.
00:50:10.000This is just a dumb, it's a dumb game.
00:50:13.000But you don't have to look far in the United States for moral outrages also on video.
00:50:17.000There's not a city in this country, not just the big cities, but cities of 10,000 people.
00:51:33.000It is not alike for drug smugglers to smuggle drugs over the border, which someone then takes and shoves into their arm and then they die of an overdose.
00:51:41.000I promise you, it is not the same thing as a terrorist breaking into your home and murdering your children in their beds in front of you and dragging your wife off to be raped in Gaza.
00:52:33.000In fact, I'm not even accusing the AOCs of the world of that.
00:52:37.000Although I think she's closer to the border, considering the only tweet she has sent in this entire ridiculous situation is a tweet finding one Jew in New York saying a bad thing that the Israeli government does not even carry forth.
00:52:50.000That's the only thing she's seen to tweet about this.
00:52:54.000I'm not accusing all these people of that.
00:52:55.000What I am accusing them of is a moral blindness that must be caused by a complete flattening of the cultural landscape.
00:53:03.000In which everybody thinks the same way that we do.
00:53:07.000And that every problem can be solved in the same way.
00:53:09.000And that it is of no consequence whether evil walks the earth.
00:53:14.000Because all problems are basically, that's what realism truly is.
00:53:21.000Again, when it comes to policy questions about what should be done in the Middle East, that is a question of prudence, it's a question of pragmatism, it's a question of American interests, which, again, are not always identical with Israeli interests.
00:53:30.000When it comes to comparing the Holocaust-level evil we just saw in Kfar Azza with people overdosing on the streets of Philadelphia, I have some moral questions.
00:56:06.000So here was Joe Biden yesterday talking about the atrocities in Israel.
00:56:12.000You know, there are moments in this life, and I mean this literally, when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world.
00:56:25.000The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend.
00:56:29.000In the bloody hands of the terrorist organization Hamas, a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews, This was an act of sheer evil.
00:56:46.000He points out the history of the Jewish people and the state of Israel.
00:56:50.000This attack has brought to the surface painful memories and the scars left by a millennia of anti-Semitism and genocide of the Jewish people.
00:57:03.000So in this moment, we must be crystal clear.
00:57:12.000And we will make sure Israel has what it needs to take care of its citizens, defend itself, and respond to this attack.
00:57:24.000He then distinguishes the Hamas cause from the Palestinian cause, which, again, is perfectly fine and legitimate.
00:57:29.000And then he says that Israel basically has free reign to take the gloves off, do what it needs to do to stop the terrorism.
00:57:38.000Here he was talking about this, this clip four.
00:57:42.000Like every nation in the world, Israel has the right to respond and, indeed, has a duty to respond to these vicious attacks.
00:57:51.000I just got off the phone with — on a third call with Prime Minister Netanyahu, and I told him, the United States' experience of what Israel is experiencing, our response would be swift, decisive, and overwhelming.
00:58:09.000And then he did, I think the most important thing in the speech here was actually a policy, a policy thing.
00:58:13.000So he points out that America has strengthened its defense posture in the Middle East, which is important because again, if you don't want a regional war, you do have to threaten one.
00:58:20.000You do have to say to Iran, listen, if you guys get in, this is not going to go how you think it's going to go.
00:58:25.000Because people take advantage of situations.
00:58:29.000Again, credit to the president for saying this.
00:58:31.000The United States has also enhanced our military force posture in the region to strengthen our deterrence.
00:58:38.000The Department of Defense has moved the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean and bolstered our fighter aircraft presence.
00:58:48.000And we stand ready to move in additional assets as needed.
00:58:53.000Let me say again, to any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of this situation, I have one word.
00:59:23.000Let it remain a contained conflict that Israel has to win.
00:59:26.000Existentially, by the way, Israel does have to win this conflict.
00:59:28.000If it does not, then the sense of military superiority that has allowed a tiny state of nine million people 7 million Jews to survive in the most hostile region on earth, historically?
00:59:42.000That perception of military superiority is Israel's asset.
00:59:44.000That has been punctured by what just happened with Hamas.
01:01:16.000Well, the White House for the first time actually came out and condemned Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib yesterday.
01:01:22.000Karine Jean-Pierre, who must have been shocked at the message coming down from the top level here, they ripped into Omar and Tlaib for their lack of morality here.
01:01:31.000What is the President's message to members of Congress who seem to be equating the Hamas terror attack with actions that were previously taken by Israel?
01:01:42.000Look, here's the thing, and which congressional members?
01:01:46.000Well, there have been some members of Congress who have called for a ceasefire, and they have not gone as far as backing the administration's call for support for Israel.
01:01:56.000So look, I've seen some of those statements this weekend, and we're going to continue to be very clear.
01:02:26.000Now, maybe you ought to think about whether those people ought to remain members of your caucus.
01:02:30.000There's a lot of talk all the time about Republicans expelling certain members of the caucus.
01:02:34.000Seems like you probably shouldn't promote them as the squad and then have them on the cover of magazines with Nancy Pelosi.
01:02:40.000Seems like that might be a good start.
01:02:42.000And meanwhile, I just want to conclude with a few stories from Israel here because I'm getting updates, as I say, by the minute from friends in Israel who are living there, speaking with dozens of people a day from a wide variety of perspectives in Israel.
01:02:55.000But there is extraordinary unity in the state of Israel.
01:04:03.000And one of the reasons they have to wear masks, unlike the other Israeli soldiers, is because if they are identified by Hamas and their allies, then they will be treated even worse than Israeli Jews would be if they were captured or trapped by Hamas members, because they are seen as traitors for defending the state of Israel.
01:04:23.000I got a note that I wanted to conclude with here from a friend of mine in Jerusalem.
01:04:33.000Did I tell you about the wedding my husband formed on Sunday?
01:04:35.000So remember, the attacks were still ongoing as of Saturday night.
01:04:38.000Sunday evening, we traveled up north on relatively empty roads, passing many roadblocks, police cars, and army trucks along the way, so my husband could perform a wedding for a couple who was supposed to get married a few days later.
01:04:48.000The chatan, that's the groom, called up and he told them he was supposed to have a wedding in two days.
01:04:52.000The commander gave him another day, but couldn't give him more.
01:04:55.000They wanted to get married before he left for war.
01:04:59.000Friends of the family heard the wedding had to be moved up, so they kindly opened their home to allow the couple to get married on their roof.
01:05:04.000It was a small, intimate ceremony, just family and close friends.
01:06:04.000But that very luck allows us to be morally foolhardy.
01:06:08.000It allows us not to look evil in the face and to pretend that everybody thinks the way we do because the consequence of that sort of thought rarely arrive at our front door.
01:06:15.000That is not the case with many of our allies and many people living around the world.
01:06:19.000And as the forces of evil gain strength and coordinate, it is incumbent on any person who has any shred of moral decency to at least recognize the evil that they are staring down.
