In the middle of a press conference, President Joe Biden cut it short saying he had to go to the Situation Room to deal with something. And that something is reportedly Iran striking numerous U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria. We ve got reporting now from Israel that Iran was involved in the attacks that we saw from Hamas, and many journalists note that Hezbollah and Hamas do not have ballistic missiles.
00:00:56.000And a lot of stories in this area, it looks like we're gearing up for global war.
00:01:00.000A lot of news reports coming out that China is preparing for the same thing, and it looks like whether anyone wants it to or not, and I assume there are a lot of people who want it to, This is where we're headed.

00:02:02.000I like to consider myself like an America First Crusader for Christ.
00:02:07.000I work with a number of campaigns and legislators throughout the country to kind of invoke and push forward the America First agenda.
00:02:14.000I joined the Army right out of high school, finished that up, and now I'm just focused on, you know, doing what I can from social media and journalism and just working with some of these folks to really, you know, enact the America First agenda.
00:03:40.000War 3. On Twitter, World War 3 is trending. Here's the clip.
00:03:44.000I want to play this clip for you. It's quite simple. It's only a few seconds long, and when
00:03:48.000Malcolm Flex has it, Biden cuts his speech short as the attacks are happening. Can't confirm if it's
00:03:53.000casual or not. Here we go. We got sound right? I apologize. I have to go to the situation with
00:03:58.000another issue. I have to do it. Thank you.
00:04:01.000Thank you. Thank you. So that's it. It's It's rather uneventful, other than to say, in the middle of a press conference, he announced he was going to have to go to the Situation Room, because we've got these.
00:04:12.000This report, Malcolm Flex is tweeting, "...groups with ties to the Iranian militias claim they've attacked.
00:04:16.000With rockets, three bases in northeast Syria, al-Omar, al-Tanf, and al-Shaddadi, could be a tell as far as where Iran and probably Iran-loyal militant states in the area stand."
00:04:33.000I learned that if you have taken anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication over the last 12 months or for a cumulative 36 months in the last couple of years, you can't be drafted.
00:04:43.000So I think a lot of women are not going to be drafted as we head into World War III.
00:05:10.000Well, because Biden came, there was a report last year that the Biden administration was saying that trans women do have to register for Selective Service.
00:05:23.000So, all you Draft Dodgers that are buying skirts right now, don't worry, it's not going to work.
00:05:30.000Well, it's funny because there was this poll that came out about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I guess 18 to 24 overwhelmingly are in favor of Palestine and Hamas.
00:05:41.000And I say and Hamas because I am not trying to say they're the same thing.
00:06:51.000Well, Iran was reported by the Wall Street Journal to have been in a meeting with Hamas and Hezbollah just the Monday before the attack, saying that it was reported that Iran greenlit the attack at that point, and then Iran denied it later.
00:07:07.000But Iran has been backing Hamas for a very long time.
00:07:10.000Iran has been backing Hamas since Like, Israel kicked out a bunch of terrorists and sent them to Lebanon, where they got trained by Hezbollah and the, what is it, the Iranian Guard?
00:07:45.000forces, and if the argument from the United States is that we have to go to war with Iran because they've trained Hamas, then Russia would need to declare war on the United States, right?
00:07:55.000This argument is, you know, have your cake and eat it too.
00:07:57.000Yeah, it's the U.S.' 's own version of it's okay when we do it.
00:08:02.000I mean, I think part of it is that we always knew there was very There's a slim chance that this wouldn't expand regionally, that other countries nearby would get involved.
00:08:11.000And I think you're right with this headline.
00:08:12.000They're trying to sort of preemptively set up the argument for why America needs to get involved in this war, which I just don't think is necessarily the best case scenario for anyone.
00:08:22.000And I understand that we have allies or we have relationships, diplomatic, with Israel and everyone else in the region.
00:08:30.000On the other hand, we create all of these problems and then we say, oh, well, don't worry, we'll come fix it.
00:08:35.000Preston, did you do anything exciting when you were in the Army?
00:09:02.000I'm not, I wonder, that's actually a really interesting point you bring up because we're talking about the draft too, but how many good men and women in uniform left over the COVID vaccination and the bigger picture How depleted or how far behind are we in terms of recruitment goals?
00:09:19.000Not just because of the vaccine, but because of wokeness and politics in general.
00:09:24.000I guess the conspiracy theory is the reason the U.S.
00:09:27.000is allowing all these people to cross the border into the country is that they're going to offer them up citizenship to be frontline infantry or something, which, you know, I don't know if that's effective, but I do kind of know anybody who's played any one of these strategy video games, like World of Warcraft or Starcraft or whatever, you just mass-produced the lowest quality fighter and just non-stop send them wave after wave after your enemies, you win.
00:09:48.000So, like, You can have all the nukes, all the jets, all the satellites you want, but if your ground army is bigger, you win.
00:09:55.000And, you know, your willingness to sacrifice them.
00:09:57.000But in that capacity, the US has technology, but they don't have people.
00:10:01.000And the thing about military recruitment goals is that we've been behind for a long time.
00:10:06.000So there are people who left, like you're saying, because of the COVID vaccine.
00:10:11.000There are now also people who will not enlist because of the COVID vaccine.
00:10:14.000And so on top of the issues that we're already having with a population that is not qualified to be a part of the military, those who are willing to enlist and who will enlist, it's just this extremely small margin.
00:10:25.000I don't like the idea that we would just be like, oh, well, you came here illegally, but To give you citizenship, we'll let you enlist in the army.
00:10:32.000I think that's not a logical justification, but if you're about to say, things are very desperate, we need boots on the ground, you're sort of creating a worst case scenario and then delivering this solution that is imperfect in and of itself.
00:10:45.000Well, that's kind of the strategy they use, like recruiters use, to bring people into the military.
00:10:50.000I know my recruiters at least would, it's kind of like a running joke on TikTok too, where people will go to like Home Depot and pick up illegals to join the military and they'll offer them, you know, citizenship so they'll join.
00:11:01.000But just in my personal experience, all the good folks, all the people who, you know, were meant to be in the military, there wasn't a lot of them left.
00:11:10.000And I know that during my basic training in AIT, which is like advanced training for your job, We had people, the treatment of people and their standards was unbelievable.
00:11:23.000Women were, you know, like we had some people in there that were like five foot two, couldn't carry the load for themselves.
00:11:29.000We would go on ruck marches that were really 12 miles long and they would end up falling out and they would get put in a truck and get driven back and or they couldn't shoot what you were supposed to shoot what the standard was and they would pass them anyway.
00:11:43.000Because they have to fill these spots.
00:11:45.000Are they just creating cannon fodder, basically?
00:11:47.000The other thing that's happening is that recruitment, all of the numbers are actually off from what I know from people who are enlisted right now is that they are using, like, they are shifting data to pad their numbers because they are so far behind in recruitment goals.
00:12:00.000I mean, it's not good, but once you get into the army they need to keep you there.
00:12:03.000So, what I've heard from a lot of people, and this goes back well before the culture war stuff, That in basic training, the men, like the clothes they give you, what are the PTs, is that what they're called?
00:12:16.000Filthy and dirty as you're like crawling through the mud.
00:12:18.000You don't wash them, you take them off.
00:12:19.000You wake up, you eat as fast as you can, you get back to it.
00:12:22.000The women would cry, complain, sit down, refuse to walk any further because it hurts too much, and then be told, don't worry, it's fine.
00:12:27.000Like you mentioned, get a truck to drive them the rest of the way.
00:12:57.000They got complacent with the low standards of a lot of the girls, and they would literally walk the two-mile runs.
00:13:03.000What I was told is that if they tell the women you can't have a shower, it's discrimination based on sex because women have special needs, and so they have to get showers.
00:13:12.000Then they shouldn't be allowed to join the military.
00:13:15.000And if they hold the women at the same standards as the men, well that's sexist because men and women are different, even though now the argument is that men and women aren't different.
00:13:21.000If you look at the Bostock decision, it's sexual discrimination to not give the men showers, but to give the women showers.
00:13:38.000Anything that doesn't benefit the left is discrimination until it benefits them, then it's balanced.
00:13:43.000So like, if you say, they'll come out and they'll say, men and women are the same, therefore, you know, trans people should be in women's sports, everyone should be equal, and then you go, okay, military training, equality, that's not fair, men and women are different!
00:13:56.000Women can't carry as much as men, so they get special treatments, like, wait, wait, wait, you just said men and women weren't different, now you're saying they're different.
00:14:01.000So the issue is, the left simultaneously argues both positions.
00:14:03.000This is why I often say there's no morality on the left.
00:14:28.000They'll throw a bonus at you, $20,000 to join, but their standards are ridiculous.
00:14:33.000And I even had a girl in front of me on one march specifically, and she was crying because the load was too much for her to carry.
00:14:41.000She was, again, like five foot two, so I tried to like lift her rucksack up with my hands the whole way there, but it's like you can't have that kind of like situation on the battlefield, you know?
00:14:52.000And so I just think it's kind of sad that that's where we've gotten to as a country.
00:14:56.000I've heard arguments afford that they need to revisit some of their standards, like this thing about anxiety medication, right?
00:15:01.000Like, if you've taken anxiety medication during these parameters, you're disqualified from military service.
00:15:06.000So it means that some people just don't report it or, you know, I've heard a lot of special forces people say, I just lied.
00:15:12.000I lied my way through it because I wanted really badly to make it and I am qualified other than these sort of You know, rules they felt were arbitrary.
00:15:19.000But in some cases, you know, the idea of being battle-ready is very important.
00:15:25.000And I think we saw this with, you know, letting women in the military, the physical standard at which they are expected to meet has to be lowered because women are different biologically and physiologically than men.
00:15:35.000And so ultimately, in pursuit of what we think is best at home, are we actually putting people in foreign fields in a battle-ready situation where the people around them can protect them?
00:16:09.000So you're not allowed to have taken SSRIs and anxiety medication for a certain period of time, but you are allowed to be taking cross-sex hormones?
00:16:37.000The latest deployment is in response to growing threats from Iran and its allies in the region.
00:16:41.000President Biden has warned Iran to not join the war against Hamas.
00:16:46.000Why would Iran join a war against Hamas?
00:16:48.000See, the New York Times phrases these things in very interesting ways.
00:16:52.000So, they're sending a THAAD battery, which is, I don't know if they have what it stands for, it's something high-altitude aerial defense or something like this.
00:18:55.000I remember when I was in South Korea, they had a bunch of people protesting, saying no THAAD, and the argument was that the US was going to deploy the THAAD system to be able to respond to North Korean ballistic missile attacks.
00:19:07.000But, as I mentioned in the earlier segment, many journalists are saying Hezbollah and Hamas don't have this, so the US is just gearing up for war with Iran.
00:19:13.000I think a lot of these news stories...
00:19:16.000A lot of them are intentionally, they're seeding, they're a little bit of spice in the news to be like, get you used to it.
00:20:12.000Well, what's interesting though, and this is some research I was doing over the weekend actually and last week, the history that we know of Israel and the Middle East is given to us primarily and given to our students by textbooks.
00:20:26.000And those textbooks were created, most of them, after 9-11 at this point.
00:20:32.000And they were heavily influenced by like the Center for Islamic Education.
00:20:37.000that talked to the publishers and the textbook companies and made sure to have
00:20:41.000very positive views of Islam and very negative views of Judaism and Christianity.
00:20:47.000So when you see all of these high school students staging walkouts of like, you know, saying like,
00:20:53.000you know, free Palestine and like stand with Gaza and all of this stuff.
00:20:58.000They have been taught that in their history classrooms.
00:21:00.000That is what they have learned directly and they have learned that directly because that's, you know, that's what's in the textbooks.
00:21:08.000These are textbooks that were adopted in California and because California is such a huge market for educational materials, Once it's in those textbooks, that's what's disseminated across the rest of the country.
00:23:04.000Then you have the story of the guy in New York City who saw the dude threatening the lives of the people on the train and said, I gotta stop this guy with three, two other dudes, and then they tried to lock him up.
00:23:44.000And then United States, the inverse, where they're putting these lewd and lascivious books in schools.
00:23:47.000And we're like, man, where's the middle ground?
00:23:49.000Like, let women wear, you know, sexy clothes, but don't give kids these books with graphic material in them.
00:23:56.000And it's weird because the same progressives that are saying, yes, put those books in school are the same ones chanting in favor The left tried arguing this a long time ago that Trump supporters had a lot in common with like Al Qaeda and like Muslim terrorists or whatever.
00:24:07.000survive in this culture they're advocating for.
00:24:10.000The left tried arguing this a long time ago, that Trump supporters had a lot in common
00:24:14.000with Al-Qaeda and Muslim terrorists or whatever.
00:24:18.000Like dude, if Hamas did come over here and it was just some regular Palestinian guy on
00:24:24.000a street corner and he started expressing his opinions on LGBTQ stuff and wokeness.
00:24:28.000A lot of conservatives would be like, I completely agree with those positions.
00:24:32.000Then, of course, the guy would say something like, throw him off a roof or whatever, something horrifying, and the Trump supporters would be like, yo, bro, what's wrong with you?
00:24:40.000But so many of these left-wing activists are cheering for a group that, as you all mentioned, Yeah, I think a lot of them are definitely uneducated on, you know, what goes on in Palestine, but I do understand some of their gripes.
00:25:00.000And I think that, you know, you talk about the textbook things.
00:25:03.000I've heard reports of textbooks being infiltrated with Zionists, you know, certain angles.
00:25:09.000And I'm Jewish and, you know, I don't want that.
00:25:12.000I want my, you know, students in my country learning, you know, real truth and, you know, not, you know, that's tampered with by some special interest.
00:25:22.000And so, and I think that's why a lot of Americans, especially Christian Americans, are kind of entranced with the fact that we must go to war.
00:25:31.000And listen, I want there to be peace more than anyone, but I don't think we should get involved with a conflict at all that's foreign.
00:25:38.000I think we should be focusing on our issues here, like the guy in the subway.
00:25:41.000And I just think that Americans are so funny, at least Christian Americans, and especially those who call themselves conservatives, when they say, let's not go to Ukraine!
00:25:51.000Quit sending my lunch money to Ukraine!
00:25:53.000And then the second Israel gets attacked, they want to send the kitchen sink.
00:25:56.000Well, Israel is a really long-standing ally.
00:26:06.000And I think that it's under questionable circumstances as well, because even Charlie Kirk pointed out that when it happened, there was a seven-hour stop order ordered by Netanyahu.
00:26:16.000He didn't say that definitively, though.
00:26:18.000Right, in which he was attacked right after, too, but... Charlie said, I wonder if someone gave a stand-on order, because how did they not know this?
00:26:24.000Well, and Egypt warned him, apparently, too, but also... Yeah, but Egypt said something big might happen, which is not a warning of anything.
00:26:32.000We don't know what the specific intelligence was.
00:26:34.000And I also think... It is tough, because there is... You can draw benefit to Netanyahu specifically, and the stability of Israel, From the crisis, a unifying crisis.
00:26:46.000We saw this with the Project for a New American Century back in like 2001 or whatever.
00:26:51.000A new Pearl Harbor would rally the American people.
00:26:53.000But I don't think that creates a circumstance in which the simple solution is Israel knew it was going to happen and let it happen.
00:27:00.000Because the damage and devastation to Israel is 1,000 times greater than whatever they were experiencing.
00:27:05.000Yeah, and I don't think it's a... I think it's definitely a corruption issue, and that was what Netanyahu was, like, under investigation for in the first place.
00:27:13.000He was about to... He was under indictment, and he was about to face trial for it, and a war happens to happen right in his backyard, right when he needed it to, and I just think it's a little bit odd, and I think that when you have Mossad, which is one of the world's most advanced intelligence agencies, how did they not pick up that their most, you know, angered neighbor was not going to attack them?
00:27:35.000But I don't see any evidence to the contrary either.
00:27:37.000And I think the issue with, the issue I take with it is, I can tell you, you know, because I was talking earlier about Cassandra Fairbanks, a bunch of conservatives are really angry, they're very pro-Israel, and I'm like, dude, this company and the work that I do is not predicated upon the history of Gaza and Israel.
00:27:55.000And so what ends up happening is you have these people who for some reason have a large portion of their identity rooted in which side is correct and which side is wrong.
00:28:03.000And so they'll come out and they'll assert one side has, you know, it's funny because they're like, you know, it's
00:28:07.000it's historically Palestine Therefore is you know, Israel's the occupying force and
00:28:11.000then the other people are like it was Judea and it was like Jerusalem
00:28:13.000The Holy Land, are you crazy? And I'm just like I got I can tell you it's not America and
00:28:18.000Yeah, I'm not from there That's my thing!
00:28:24.000There's been violence and conflict over this region for a really long time, including in recent years prior to October 7th.
00:28:31.000I'm not saying that Israel shouldn't be able to defend itself.
00:28:34.000On the other hand, similarly to the conflict that's been ongoing between Russia and Ukraine for a long time, is this in the American people's best interest to wade into a war which we have very little cultural understanding of and at the same time make worse.
00:28:50.000Like Joe Biden's saying, yes Gaza, I will give you money.
00:28:53.000Also Israel, I'll send some troops in.
00:28:55.000We don't know what side we're going to be on and ultimately we're not going to make anyone happy.
00:28:59.000We're only going to ask... I certainly hope we know what side we're going to be on.
00:29:02.000I certainly hope we're going to be on the side of our allies.
00:29:13.000No, but I'm taking reports on the ground.
00:29:16.000You know, I'm Jewish and I just don't want anyone... I don't want atrocity being conducted against anybody.
00:29:21.000I don't want any more Israeli lives to be taken.
00:29:24.000I don't want any more Palestinian lives to be taken, especially innocent children that we're seeing.
00:29:29.000And so, many times, I'm saying this online, and people are saying, oh, so you're pro-Hamas, or, you know, you're pro-sympathizer for terrorists.
00:29:37.000But I don't want, I don't want any innocents to die, and I'm seeing white phosphorus being rained down, and 1 in 20 buildings in Gaza are leveled, and you're seeing more bombs being dropped on Gaza than were dropped in the entire first year in the Afghanistan war.
00:29:53.000And so, I, and those are war crimes, okay?
00:29:54.000Because when you have... What's a war crime, though?
00:29:57.000Collective punishment, defined by the Geneva Convention, is to punish an entire group of people, innocent people, for the crimes of, especially this, a terror group.
00:30:12.000The recent surveys show that 51% of people in Gaza support Hamas.
00:30:16.000And so, yeah, I'm not going to blame the civilians.
00:30:18.000There's a lot of really awful videos that are coming out, but I'll tell you exactly where I'm at.
00:30:23.000I don't know anything about the region, for the most part.
00:30:24.000I mean, obviously, I do know a bit about the region, but I have no vested interest in the outcome in the region.
00:30:29.000I am not here to be like, the history of Israel, or Israel this, Israel that, or Palestine this, Palestine that.
00:30:35.000I can tell you that on October 7th, a horrifying terror attack occurred in which Hamas tore through the fences, went in and started massacring civilians.
00:30:43.000Israel's released some of this footage.
00:30:46.000And then what I end up hearing from people is, yeah, well, I bet Israel knew.
00:30:49.000And I'm like, How did we shift from, we quite literally have video of civilians being gunned down in their car, and people burning down homes, and children being killed, and the response immediately is, yeah, but I bet Netanyahu knew about it, because he was doing it to benefit himself, and it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:08.000The conversation is right now, Israel was attacked, innocent civilians were killed, Max Blumenthal came on and said Hamas targeted the civilians because it's opportunistic for them, it's part of their doctrine to target civilians to use as bargaining chips against Israel and then after that is the beginning and opening premise I have people complaining about Israel and I'm like
00:31:39.000Israel is the powerhouse, with the fourth most powerful army, so they say, with support from Western powers, and Hamas decided to declare war.
00:31:47.000Now, a lot of people then go, yeah, well, you know, it's an open-air prison and blah blah blah.
00:31:52.000I am not Israel, I am not Palestine, I am the United States of America, I am an individual here, and I can't tell you about the history of the region.
00:31:58.000I can tell you, if they did not tear down those fences, storm in and massacre a thousand plus civilians, there would not be bombings in Gaza.
00:32:54.000Nobody takes the Palestinian government serious.
00:32:56.000So when bombs are being dropped on residential buildings in Gaza, you have to point that out.
00:33:01.000And if you say that Hamas is using those to protect whatever they have there inside, Well, you know, Israel's very capable of going in with insurgent teams and getting out or killing whoever they need to.
00:33:12.000The West supplies them with a ton of money and a ton of training with our armed forces, and so I think they're perfectly capable of going in.
00:33:20.000I don't see a need for leveling an entire building.
00:33:24.000And the problem is, I don't think you'd see the reaction that you're talking about if
00:33:27.000you didn't have evangelical Christians on Twitter saying, Glass Gaza, make it a parking
00:33:45.000And people are being killed at rates you've never seen before.
00:33:48.0002014, 88 Israelis died, and 2,329 Palestinians died.
00:33:53.000No one was calling it, no one was calling, you know, what's going on over there in the Middle East, we should get involved.
00:33:59.000I don't think comparing the total number of dead answers the question of what, how, or why.
00:34:04.000And does not indicate justification or... I just don't like how the media covers it differently, because the first time you have an Israeli attack, then it's like, oh my gosh, the world's ending World War III, but Palestinians have been being killed for years, and you're having no coverage of it.
00:34:17.000And that statistic I just gave you, that's one Israeli for every 27 Palestinians.
00:35:21.000So then I hear, yeah, but what about white phosphorus?
00:35:24.000Bro, I'm sorry, but the people marching through the street who are saying from the river to the sea, who lied about this hospital, get zero benefit of the doubt from me.
00:35:33.000And that means the only word I have is Israel's, and I don't even trust them.
00:35:37.000Well, all I can say is, we don't want collateral damage, we don't want war, we want civilian deaths, we want peace, we want the conflict to stop.
00:35:45.000The argument then becomes, should Israel airstrike, or should they send in a ground strike force to start executing Hamas?
00:36:12.000Some people have no form of getting anywhere, and they're just supposed to see on Hebrew television that they're supposed to get up and go somewhere.
00:36:45.000But if we're going to return to the premise of, does America help?
00:36:48.000Because like we've talked about, if Joe Biden's going to give Whatever millions of dollars to the Palestinians, but we know ultimately that will probably end up in the hands of Hamas.
00:36:55.000But then we're also saying, Israel, we're your ally.
00:37:35.000I don't like that American and British Western munitions are being used to kill innocent people.
00:37:40.000I think the human loss and the toll that that is In any world, in any world where morality and ethics exist means if Israel's going to defend themselves, they send in insurgent teams, they kill who they need to kill, whoever caused whatever attacks took place.
00:38:47.000As a Jew, I don't want to see my fellow Jew die, and I think it's sick.
00:38:51.000I thought, after the Hamas attacks, all the carnage that was left, the pictures that you saw on Twitter, like I was telling you before the show, you're seeing nothing but graphic footage all around Twitter.
00:39:01.000The carnage that was left behind by Hamas is despicable.
00:39:04.000And the consequence for that should be they should be killed.
00:39:07.000But it, again, should be just them that are killed, not innocent kids.
00:39:10.000I suppose the challenge is, like, Israel's choices after being attacked are airstrikes on strategic targets, which results in a lot of collateral damage and dead civilians, and that's horrifying, or invasion.
00:39:27.000Me, I'm kind of just like, I don't know.
00:39:28.000I'm not Israel, and I'm not in this war, and the United States is partially, I suppose, tangentially involved in this war, and I think we shouldn't be because it's an unsolvable issue.
00:39:40.000I just think if you've got... I just missed Trump on this.
00:39:45.000But if you've got 51% of Gaza saying they support Hamas, And even in the United States, these people are chanting, from the river to the sea.
00:40:19.000Using schools and hospitals to store weapons and to launch rockets and then attacking Israeli civilians because, as that Yale professor said, settlers aren't civilians.
00:40:28.000So to the people, to 51% of people in Gaza, let's just say 51% supporting Hamas, anyone, anyone, some of those people were tourists, fair game, kill them all, that's what they're doing.
00:40:53.000Let me ask you, what do you think would happen if the barrier fencing around Gaza was completely removed and Israel just said, anyone in Gaza can do whatever they want.
00:41:21.000Yes, both ways, because I've seen Hamas and Palestinians... You think Israelis in Tel Aviv will march into Gaza with guns and start killing civilians?
00:41:29.000I think violence will be conducted either way.
00:41:32.000I think that I've seen IDF soldiers treating Palestinian kids very badly on the streets, and sometimes they brag about, you know, doing brutal things to them.
00:41:40.000I think it would go both ways, regardless of the situation.
00:41:43.000So if the fences were removed, Israelis would go into Gaza?
00:41:45.000I'm not saying just Israelis, I said both ways.
00:42:09.000Like, you think the people in the Gaza Strip, would they leave the Gaza Strip?
00:42:13.000If the barrier is removed, and security is removed, and they say you can freely move about the country... I don't think a lot of them would.
00:44:12.000Because you're disallowing innocent civilians from having drinking water, from having electricity.
00:44:18.000So you're saying that it's actually, it's not Israel isn't producing the electricity, they're just going in between where Gaza would get from normally.
00:44:27.000I know a lot of the supply routes are not just coming from Israel.
00:44:30.000I don't think there's a lot of Israeli aid.
00:44:35.000Egypt is trying to get electricity to Gaza, but then Israel stopping it?
00:44:39.000I think Egypt is trying to get aid and food and water and resources and medical resources to people and Israel stopping it.
00:44:46.000How the electricity grid there works, I have no idea, but I know Israeli technology capability does not stop it being able to shut down a power grid.
00:44:57.000I'm not sure I follow criticism of Israel in this line of thinking.
00:45:03.000So if people can come and go as they please, but they don't want to live in a tent city so they would choose to live somewhere with electricity, it's a war crime?
00:45:10.000Well, no, but you gotta look at it like, let's make it out like it's here.
00:45:18.000If Alabama decided to, you know, attack Georgia and come in here and say, well, you gotta leave or you're not gonna have food or water or resources.
00:45:30.000I don't want my land to be taken over so I'm gonna fight against those people in order to prevent my land from being taken over in order to get resources once again.
00:45:38.000If your land's already been taken historically...
00:45:41.000Yeah, but why have the Palestinians rejected a two-state solution going back into the 70s and even previously?
00:45:50.000Again, when it comes to the land conflict, I think that they don't really see Israel having any claim over the land.
00:46:03.000However, that doesn't justify a war crime to cut off resources.
00:46:09.000So what should Israel do when they have neighbors, not just in Gaza and the West Bank, not just the Palestinians that don't think they have a right to exist, but they had a longstanding conflict with Egypt.
00:46:21.000They've had longstanding enemies in Lebanon.
00:46:26.000They're the only nation in the entire region, right?
00:46:29.000And they have enemies surrounding them.
00:46:31.000So when you had Trump's administration come in with the Abraham Accords creating the bilateral agreements, that was starting to be effective.
00:46:38.000We recently had Saudi Arabia and Israel almost normalizing relations.
00:46:42.000You have Israel can't even play soccer in the Middle East League, they have to play in Europe because otherwise they would get killed, right?
00:46:50.000And Hamas engaged in the attack they did to stop the Abraham Accords.
00:47:21.000And Arafat was like, nah, we're not going to do that.
00:47:23.000You had Obama had a two-state solution.
00:47:25.000And so finally Trump just ignored them.
00:47:28.000And they don't like that either, and that's when they lashed out and killed 1,400 people, including a whole bunch of civilians' children.
00:47:37.000And so now you're saying that there should be a ceasefire because Israel shouldn't be fighting against the people who are actively seeking their extermination.
00:47:46.000There are Jews and Israeli Jews who believe that Palestine shouldn't exist and that they should have more of a land claim.
00:47:54.000So to make this whole thing ideologically based, I think is the wrong route to go.
00:48:28.000We were watching Golden Balls on the big screen.
00:48:30.000Golden Balls is a British game show that fills me with righteous indignation and fury.
00:48:37.000But is it race-based because it's British?
00:48:39.000So everybody gets some golden balls and then in like the first round, they're like, you show two of them and they have dollar values and the goal is to build a big jackpot and then two of them you don't see and you have to lie about what they're worth.
00:48:53.000You claim that, oh, if you pick me, I have 10,000 pounds and whatever.
00:48:59.000In the end, the way the game works, the reason why I bring it up, there are two balls in front of each person, two people left.
00:49:06.000And one of them is steal the prize money and one of them is split the prize money.
00:49:12.000If both players agree to split the prize money, they split the prize money.
00:49:17.000If one player splits the prize money but the other steals it, the person who steals it gets it all.
00:49:22.000If both players try to steal it, they get nothing.
00:50:10.000The Hamas hospital thing really pissed me off.
00:50:13.000And then they go, they rip through the fences, massacre civilians, watch the videos, and then they go, please help us, please, they're shooting us!
00:50:22.000And I'm just like, y'all started a fight and you're losing, and now I'm supposed to be mad at the person who's winning.
00:50:28.000If a guy breaks into my house with a baton, and I've got a Remington 12 gauge, People are going to be like, don't leave him alone, you have a shotgun.
00:50:37.000Dude broke into my house with a weapon.
00:50:40.000Israel gets attacked and they go, but 75 years ago, 75 years ago, nothing.
00:50:44.000I got no idea what you're talking about.
00:50:46.000Okay, how about we stop fighting right now?
00:50:48.000If the argument is civilians should stop dying, then Hamas is the problem.
00:50:53.000And if the argument is we should have peace between Palestine and Israel, well, the problem is that Hamas exists.
00:50:59.000And so long as there's someone who's going to steal the money from the other person and lie about it, there's not going to be a peace agreement.
00:51:06.000The people who are like, Israel's engaged in war crimes, blah blah blah, I'm like, dude, there's a war going on, and one side is lying about everything, and started the fight and is actively trying to massacre civilians, arguing that every civilian is a colonizer, and from the river to the sea, they're going to reclaim this land, I'm sorry, dude.
00:51:23.000Peace agreements sound like a psychotic proposal.
00:51:25.000There's a man standing before you at the front of your house saying, if you let me in your house, I will do unspeakable things to your children.
00:51:30.000And then people are like, just let him in.
00:51:48.000What if, hear me out, we had the leaders of Hamas, Palestine, Israel get together, go on Golden Balls, and see if this settles the conflict?
00:51:56.000Maybe there is a way to just get out of this using British entertainment television.
00:52:00.000Peace isn't out of the question when Trump was in office.
00:52:02.000I think we can always get out of it using British entertainment television.
00:52:04.000I really think it's an underrated geopolitical diplomatic resource.
00:52:08.000...cannot argue for peace after Hamas massacres a bunch of civilians, starting the conflict, and still, right now, despite everything going on, keeps telling everyone they will kill Israelis, no matter what.
00:52:49.000They begin attacking the innocent elderly man who has no idea what's going on.
00:52:54.000The elderly man inches forward and eventually is able to drive through and they chase him down after that and continue attacking his vehicle.
00:53:04.000Dude, the people who are chanting, free Palestine, They're doing so many things.
00:53:11.000They're in New York, chanting, what do we want?
00:53:36.000I was tweeting about that because my ancestors were in Brooklyn for over 100 years and I'm like, are you serious?
00:53:40.000I just think it's dangerous to make this a one-sided issue because there was a report, I think yesterday, a pro-Israel protester was just arrested in Shokie, Illinois after chasing protesters and pulling out his firearm and firing shots toward the crowd at a pro-Palestine rally.
00:53:54.000So to make this situation and demonize one side, even though...
00:53:59.000Like I said at the beginning of the show, Hamas is... I condemn them.
00:54:15.000The problem is, this is not just limited to just one guy.
00:54:18.000This is an ideology that many people have.
00:54:20.000Many people are just fundamentally against Palestinians, and Palestinians are against, you know, their oppressors, whatever they deem oppressing.
00:54:28.000And so it just cannot be limited to one issue.
00:54:30.000Israel is not innocent in all of this either.
00:54:34.000There are corrupt powers that be in Israel.
00:54:37.000And those people, I think, instigate conflict.
00:56:50.000That Hamas attacks Israel, and therefore, like, we're gonna have this historical debate is pointless to me.
00:56:58.000We can have a debate about American financing for foreign governments and all that stuff, and I'm just like, this is a really good reason we shouldn't be involved in a foreign conflict.
00:57:08.000The problem is it's bleeding out all across the world, and for some reason, it escapes me, people are so ideologically Just impassioned by Israel.
00:57:22.000It is the craziest thing in the world.
00:57:38.000There was a 67 and that was the Six Day War and then in 73 was the Yom Kippur War.
00:57:42.000And that's the Six Day War, and then in 73 was the Yom Kippur War.
00:57:46.000I have almost never had, I would say 2% of the conversations that have ever arisen about
00:57:51.000Israel have been like historically accurate calm conversations.
00:57:56.000There is always some, like, look, dude, like you're saying, like, Israel's committing war crimes and doing all this stuff, and I'm just like, that doesn't mean anything.
00:58:18.000Because Israel is an ally, and when those are American munitions being thrown over the borders and onto Palestinian innocent people, that implicates us in some of that guilt.
00:59:35.000I think people saw a weak point in Biden's presidency and they said, well, we're going to strike and we're going to create a conflict and we're going to instigate World War III.
00:59:44.000I mean, even this video of Biden sort of muttering into the microphone, I have to go to the Situation Room.
00:59:49.000This is not the representation of our country I would like.
00:59:53.000And I think it is apparent to everyone that there are a lot of forces in the world that
00:59:58.000are now testing the strength of American leadership, which I hate to say it as much as I love America.
01:00:02.000The Joe Biden administration is not presenting a strong front to to the nations or to to
01:00:15.000I personally feel like we're counting down until an invasion of Taiwan.
01:00:19.000It seems like just explosions happening all over the place.
01:00:23.000And the question is, at what point do we say we have to put our own domestic priorities
01:00:28.000before everything else, even when we have historic ties or relationships diplomatically?
01:00:33.000I do agree with you Tim about what you said about we shouldn't be focusing on the sins of the father and the grandparent that shouldn't be the topic of today so I do agree with you on that.
01:00:44.000I think the challenge for me is like When you learn about how evil really exists, and I wonder when it happens for the average person, and I wonder if so many people in the United States, especially like these people surrounding these vehicles, many of these leftists,
01:00:59.000Perhaps they can't see the forests for the trees.
01:01:02.000Perhaps, you know, they are the horde of evil.
01:01:05.000And because they can't see it, or they're not victims of it, they can't understand.
01:01:48.000Not to like jump stories, but when you this off-duty pilot who theoretically tried to turn off the engine of a plane in air today, I mean, they're still investigating what happened there.
01:02:05.000But I'm just saying, like, when you are trying to unpack something that's happened, and when you see any kind of incident from the outside, you have to ask yourself, is this person evil?
01:02:16.000Did they just want to see the world burn?
01:02:18.000Or, you know, a lot of times we hear it now where it's like, oh, there's a mental health issue.
01:02:21.000Maybe they're having a psychotic break.
01:02:34.000Israel is a spattering mix of government institutions, corrupt wealthy individuals, good civilians who are trying to live peacefully.
01:02:44.000Palestine, Gaza specifically, seems to be 50-50 between Hamas and people who want to be left alone, which creates a very pressing challenge.
01:02:52.000The issue I see here is you can't negotiate with evil.
01:02:56.000No, no, no, I mean like you can try to negotiate with evil.
01:02:58.000You can desperately beg evil for peace and then they'll agree with you and then turn around and put the knife in your back.
01:03:03.000Right, like those people on Golden Balls.
01:03:08.000It's a silly show, but I'm watching this and I'm just like...
01:03:13.000Evil people will stare you in the eye and they will try to steal everything from you and they will cheer for themselves as they destroy you.
01:03:21.000And I think this is one of the issues that, without acknowledging, if you can't acknowledge that some people just are evil, then you can't acknowledge that there are people who will not, no matter how hard you want them to, understand, relate to, or try to live by a moral code that you or your community share, right?
01:03:34.000An evil person has no, uh, And the reason to feel bad about anything is because their motivations are completely contrary to yours if you're a good person.
01:03:43.000And I think that's really hard to wrap your head around.
01:03:46.000Like, can evil forces exist in the world and can you potentially change them?
01:03:57.000How, what you do to contain it and if someone can be converted from evil is a really serious question.
01:04:02.000Well, that's why we have histories of moral philosophy.
01:04:05.000But people, I think on average, I'm willing to bet most people don't experience abject evil.
01:04:11.000And I think the more you're exposed to various ideologies, various... the more people you meet, it increases the likelihood you meet people who are truly evil.
01:04:55.000The people who did it, who we assume we know did it, and the people who are aiding those who did it, we don't know 100% who did.
01:05:02.000We do know who is aiding them, who is providing them with intel and allowing them to do it.
01:05:07.000And I just could not believe that people I've known and trusted for decades would, for no reason, literally none, smile on their face every day, and then behind the scenes, laugh and smirk as they tried to burn everything down and kill people.
01:05:23.000It's shocking when that happens, when you trust someone and then they just turn on you and try to destroy your life.
01:05:28.000But just to ask people to understand this.
01:05:31.000Imagine someone you've known literally your whole life.
01:05:33.000They've been to your house for dinner dozens, hundreds of times.
01:05:36.000You've gone to theme parks and you vacationed with them and their family.
01:05:40.000And then one day you find out they were pouring Drano in your cereal trying to kill you.
01:05:59.000But she was based in Alabama, I believe, and she just poisoned, she had five daughters, poisoned them all, poisoned her husband, poisoned the next guy.
01:06:07.000She only got caught because She married this, like, young guy and he was at a VA hospital and when she would glee for a while, for like a couple weeks, he would get better and then she would be there and he would get worse.
01:07:01.000I mean, anyone who thinks they're going to find a peaceful lifestyle and have a great eternity after and not have Christ at the center of their life here on earth are just stupid.
01:07:11.000And I think you're going to see evil play out all over the world until people realize that and put Christ first.
01:07:17.000But I will tell you, again, this whole conflict goes back to putting America first.
01:07:37.000Coming across folks... It's the hellmouth!
01:07:40.000Coming across older men saying things to me and attempting to blackmail and extort me for things that they wanted in exchange, I'm telling you unthinkable things.
01:08:26.000I don't know, I feel bad for like, there's like the dude and his wife on a farm and they're just like, they got a handful of cows and pigs and sheeps and goats and they're like, we got enough for our family and our friends, just leave us alone.
01:08:36.000And then you've got people who are just laughing and smiling, hoping to burn it down for no reason.
01:08:40.000Well, included in those people trying to laugh and burn it down for no reason is the Biden administration.
01:08:44.000You remember the agriculture secretary intentionally started giving out loans specifically to minority groups, like farmer minority, farmers who were from a minority group.
01:08:56.000And it turned out that that was illegal.
01:08:59.000So some farmers took him to court over that.
01:09:01.000And the judge was like, you can't fix previous racism with new racism.
01:10:12.000But, uh, I did just check it real quick, and there are a ton of outlets that are covering this, saying, Vladimir Putin is alleged to have suffered a cardiac arrest in his private Moscow apartment on Sunday evening.
01:10:21.000A telegram channel believed to be run by a former Kremlin insider reported that incident, saying the Russian leader was found by guards on the floor of the bedroom, lying on the floor, rolling his eyes.
01:10:31.000Doctors were reportedly called in immediately, and they later diagnosed the 71-year-old having suffered a cardiac arrest.
01:10:54.000Well, you know what, they might just start fighting among themselves, and then lose all interest in Ukraine, and then we could just be like, okay, see ya!
01:11:01.000Yeah, this might prevent World War III.
01:11:11.000Yeah, the thing is, whoever takes over for Russia, and we would think they might fight amongst themselves, but we don't actually know if there's not a clear successor to his throne.
01:11:43.000Uh, and also when you see stuff like this, it's hard for me not to be like, when is the Kremlin statement saying, like, somebody slipped employees in his company?
01:11:49.000But yeah, I was interested in this story too, and I couldn't track down, like, I find it very difficult to cover overseas stuff because I really, I really only know just the one language.
01:12:00.000Well, especially with China and Russia, I think if anything, I was actually was concerned about this as well, if there's power vacuum, this is before I even knew that he had this heart attack, I talked with a friend of mine, If there is a power vacuum in Russia, what's to say that China isn't going to go, you know, knocking on Russia's door?
01:12:13.000I'm just, you know, it's just a whole other thing I'm throwing out there, but there's definitely animosity between them.
01:12:18.000Totally random, crazy thought that you probably start thinking about when you get older.
01:12:22.000It's like, you could be taking a shower in the morning and like, let's say your wife or your husband or whatever is like, all right, I'm going to go, you know, walk the dog or whatever.
01:12:30.000And then you slip and hit your head and you're dead.
01:12:32.000That's why you should get married, because they'll come back after they walk the dog and be like, the shower is still running and they'll check on you.
01:13:28.000Well, there's one story where a dude dropped the phone and the phone thought it was a car accident, so it called the police and they found it or something.
01:14:33.000That without Putin stabilizing the region, it results in power struggles, and then it leads to conflict outside of Russia, which drags other people in.
01:14:45.000Putin may be a stabilizing force, stopping certain elements of the Russian military from engaging in certain actions.
01:14:56.000But I mean, worse than that, let's say like, Putin's heart attack and dies, then a military leader says, I'm the next in command, so I'm gonna do this thing, fighting erupts inside Russia, but then this guy says, send in, nuke, you know, Kiev or whatever.
01:17:21.000She has no children, she has no man, she has a very nice dress, and she is happy.
01:17:26.000That girl probably locks her apartment door, which is a thing I think America should do.
01:17:30.000I think we should completely talk about the border.
01:17:32.000And when she falls down in the shower, There is nobody there to help her.
01:17:36.000I mean, we have a bunch of states that are the size of European countries.
01:17:40.000I can't say what our interventionist strategy should be.
01:17:42.000I generally feel like before we delve in further to any international skirmish, we should have a stronger border policy and then we can talk about it.
01:17:52.000It's hard to have these conversations knowing that we are like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:17:55.000You're bad and we want to support you and also come across our border anytime.
01:18:10.000That's not a controversial thing to say.
01:18:12.000We've got so many problems that are crippling us and leaving us basically paralyzed in the water.
01:18:18.000And our kids are killing themselves because they have no purpose, they're gender dysphoric, and we're focusing on a bunch of regional skirmishes thousands of miles halfway around the world.
01:18:31.000I agree, but being isolationist and saying we're going to totally isolate ourselves is also kind of a death knell, because we don't have enough manufacturing to keep this country going.
01:18:39.000We have so many things that are also needed.
01:18:41.000Our resources are not in the same level as other countries.
01:18:43.000We have natural gas and we have oil we should be drilling.
01:18:48.000But I still think that like, okay, if you want to do that, we'll give ourselves like a 20 year timeline.
01:18:53.000Because we can't just do that tomorrow or we're screwed.
01:18:56.000Yeah, well, I think like you said, we should be an autonomous country.
01:19:00.000Maybe we should build a time machine and go back and put the factories back in America.
01:19:04.000I mean, there's a lot of stuff we should have done.
01:19:06.000We've been on a bad path for a long time.
01:19:07.000I don't think that we should give up and say like, well, we've already been engaged, we don't have these things like that.
01:19:13.000But I acknowledge, I think you're totally right.
01:19:15.000We aren't necessarily in a position to say, well, we're just going to do absolutely nothing.
01:19:19.000I do think that before everything else we need to think about, especially if it's an international war and we know that the Biden administration is leaked.
01:19:27.000The thing is, Americans are not used to conflict being fought on American soil.
01:19:31.000So I think it's really important that we secure the border, right?
01:19:34.000Oh, it's been 7 million people since the Biden administration took office, and in 2020, it was less than half a million.
01:19:42.000Yes, and the majority of them are fighting AIDS men.
01:19:44.000It's 480,000, no, 400, yeah, 480,000 in 2020, I'm pretty sure, and it's been 7 million since 2021.
01:19:57.000Well they're trying to displace the nation's image bearers and I think that's, you've seen that just the way that they demonize white people, white Christians especially, white Christian men moreover especially.
01:20:08.000They're trying to do that and they're, like you said, they're sending seven million people in.
01:20:12.000That's a huge fraction of our population and I don't think we should stand idly by.
01:21:05.000There's a video going around of a guy, presumably in the army, wearing his, like, uniform, and he's singing some song, and then it flashes, and he's a drag queen.
01:21:12.000And it's like, there's more than one of this, but I'm like, that should be immediate dishonorable discharge.
01:21:21.000There's a couple of them, but there's one right now.
01:21:24.000And the reason I say this, or I would even accept administrative discharge, because our enemies look at our culture, our country, to determine whether or not they think we are strong or weak.
01:21:39.000And if we appear weak, we will be attacked even if we are strong.
01:21:42.000There's not much weaker than a fella in a dress.
01:21:45.000They let a master sergeant wear bondage gear in his army photo.
01:21:49.000It's not about any and it is about looking looking weak internationally and putting.
01:21:58.000Putting our other men and women at risk.
01:22:02.000The message we should be giving off is that, like that Russian military commercial where the guy's like shaved head, jumps out of a plane, lands in the ice, he's got a gun.
01:23:06.000It all stems from our nation's breakdown and really alienation from Christ and Christianity, because that's what our nation was supposed to have been rooted in.
01:23:15.000And you had a bunch of people come in and tear everything down, and it's unfortunately eroded into our military.
01:23:45.000It's like the whole like the adage of like the Republicans being the brakes on the Democrat Party, which is just the truth.
01:23:50.000It's just Christian liberalism allowing people to do what they want and saying, oh, well, turn to the cheek, turn to the cheek, turn to the cheek.
01:23:55.000If you do that too much, eventually, you know.
01:23:58.000I love that, you know, Seamus, I think Seamus has mentioned it where it's like The left will say, but as a Christian, you should be doing this.
01:24:04.000And then his response is, as someone who hates Christians, I'm not going to take your word on Christianity.
01:24:50.000And I think a lot of our day-to-day culture doesn't reinforce American values generally.
01:24:57.000Like, we can talk about the history books, we can talk about Hollywood or whatever else, but I also think day-to-day people don't live lies that are reflective of American values.
01:25:05.000There are some people who do, but I think, you know...
01:25:08.000Being openly patriotic, being there for community, you know, doing things to serve those around you, protecting your family.
01:25:14.000There are some enclaves of American culture that live that way, but a lot of predominant centers of American populations don't have that at the core, and that's sad.
01:25:23.000I don't want to call out this company, so I'm asking, you know, everybody who's here just not to name the company, but we recently bought a bunch of products from one company, just as like, you know, on a whim, and this company, which produces a variety of meats and meat snacks, Writes their their mission of inclusivity and a diverse healthy snack and I'm just like What about dried meat is diverse and inclusive?
01:25:47.000This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard And so I don't want to I don't want to again directly name the company because I'll let them do their thing We won't buy from them ever again, you know, whatever no beef.
01:25:55.000It's just it's become a it's a cult Yeah, where it's like we're we're making a series of neckties, but our neckties are inclusive how?
01:27:47.000But I think the right would tend to have, because the right argues all the time about various political issues, what is described as the right in the culture war includes libertarians who are going to start quoting a whole bunch of like anarchist philosophers, like real ones, not the left weirdos.
01:28:00.000And people on the left are going to be like, huh?
01:28:02.000You get someone who's like a liberal activist and you put them up against a conservative activist and you ask about modern politics.
01:28:10.000What was the name of the private military contractor who died in a plane crash who was deeply involved in the Ukraine war?
01:28:22.000And what's going to happen is a conservative is going to say that right away, like, well, yeah, and the liberal is going to be like, I don't know what you're talking about.
01:28:29.000What is the name of the prosecutor fired in Ukraine after Joe Biden flew to the country and threatened to withhold $1 billion?
01:28:51.000Well, it's the new, it's the new liberals would not get any of this stuff.
01:28:54.000My grandma was a liberal and she would have, she paid attention to everything.
01:28:57.000And then you'd say like, what, you know, if we get specific on well regulated, referred to a type of armed individual that went by this name.
01:29:18.000I also hijacked my pop culture crisis today and said that we should start a game show where we find Brett a wife and turn it into the dating game.
01:29:26.000So we're just, the whole company, we're just turning into a, we are the new game show network.
01:30:20.000It is commonly believed that he said the British are coming, but my readings of academia, and Serge got this too, that he said the regulars are coming.
01:30:47.000Those were young men who were actually impassioned on being patriots for their country, and many of them believed in Christ, and many of them were willing to lay down their lives for the values that they saw.
01:30:56.000Oh, dude, doing, like, a religion trivia one?
01:30:58.000With, like, a liberal and a conservative?
01:31:11.000Me and my brother and my son and this year my brother's girlfriend is coming.
01:31:14.000We go out for dinner for Thanksgiving.
01:31:16.000This is our third year of this tradition and we have the best time.
01:31:21.000But anyway, on the way up I always stop at Lexington and Concord for the Shot Heard Around the World and to see where Nathaniel Hawthorne lived in the old manse.
01:31:40.000This was my favorite thing about growing up in New England, which is that when you study American revolutionary history, which you do for every year until they have to make you study other things, you get the best field trips because everything is within driving distance.
01:31:52.000And you can say, like, oh, this happened here.
01:31:54.000And every small town has some kind of connection to it.
01:31:57.000It's it's I mean I feel bad for the rest of you I know Texas teaches his own history but it was it was one of the best parts of where I grew up because the American Revolutionary War is such a present and real part of that that region of the country.
01:32:09.000Well did you have this like because I grew up in the South Shore of Boston and most of the history we learned was Revolutionary War history.
01:32:18.000And then when I moved to Philadelphia, like, all the history was about, you know, after the revolution, it was about the, like, the creating of the Constitution.
01:32:26.000I feel like American regional history is such a cool thing.
01:32:30.000Yeah, we don't appreciate American regionalism enough.
01:32:32.000I mean, this is the thing that I think we lose Again, not that you should not be informed of what's going on in the world, but I love that Texas teaches its own history.
01:32:41.000I know, you know, some students in West Virginia do some courses in West Virginia history.
01:32:45.000There are all kinds of regional influences, like even if you talk about... And West Virginia has so much Civil War history.
01:32:51.000If you talk about, like, how Minneapolis-St.
01:32:54.000Paul came to be, a lot of that is because of the Scandinavian immigration that happened there.
01:32:59.000America has such an interesting regional history that, unfortunately, I feel like local governments, local school systems do not put enough of an emphasis on it.
01:33:07.000I'm so sorry that, you know, it is sort of a crime against ourselves.
01:33:12.000It's not going to necessarily solve peace in the Middle East, but it would be nice to remember our heritage and know about all of these things that made us who we are.
01:33:19.000I mean, the massive protest that we saw in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, over the weekend, which is like, it went up Fifth Avenue.
01:33:30.000Well, it's an immigrant neighborhood, and it's a very Arab neighborhood, and there's a lot of Jews in the neighborhood, and there's Jews all around it.
01:34:50.000And this was a huge massive protest and seeing the police blocking off streets.
01:34:56.000And one of the streets that I saw police in videos blocking off was a street where one of my old friends lives and he's Israeli and his whole family lives there.
01:35:06.000And I'm just like imagining him and his family and their kids like seeing this and they're Jewish.
01:35:15.000And I was like, I don't think that I don't like that.
01:35:17.000I don't like that they feel Like, their neighborhood is under siege, that there's helicopters going on.
01:35:23.000And the thing about it being Bay Ridge is that this is just this classic old immigrant neighborhood.
01:35:28.000And I feel like if the people in that neighborhood, if the schools were better at teaching Brooklyn history, if the schools were better at, you know, if the city was better appreciating itself, then those kids would all know, like, oh, this is not just an Arab neighborhood.
01:35:41.000This is a classic immigrant neighborhood.
01:35:44.000When we move on, there's going to be a different group of immigrants that's going to move in here.
01:35:48.000And it's just, that's sort of how Bay Ridge goes.
01:36:06.000If you like the work we do, if you like the show, the way we fund this operation is through memberships through people like you who agree that what we're doing is good and we should have more of it.
01:36:16.000So if you like the show and you like the articles we put out and you like all the projects we're engaged in Go to TimCast.com, click join us, and you will get access to the uncensored members-only show coming up at 10 p.m.
01:37:10.000The problem is that dating has to be a way to find a spouse.
01:37:13.000Find a spouse is essentially replaced marriage, in which case you are correct.
01:37:17.000So just to clarify, I did a segment earlier, there's a woman being interviewed, and the guy asks her, how much should a man spend on a first date for you?
01:37:54.000My point is not so much the dollar value, but that in a traditional dating sense, women expecting men to pay, and pay well, is the traditional gender role.
01:38:05.000And arguing that women should either not expect the men to pay, to pay well, or to split, is the progressive argument.
01:38:13.000So if I see like a woman getting all gussied up and putting on a ton of makeup and doing a lot of work and be like, I want a guy who's gonna pay, then I'm just like, I see nothing wrong with it.
01:38:20.000I think my issue with it wasn't so much that the man should be paying because I do think that the man should pay for the date.
01:38:25.000I think my issue with it was how direct she was instead of just being like, oh, that was so nice.
01:38:49.000Yeah, I mean, I don't- Just be nicer about it.
01:38:51.000I don't think like, look, Hinge is not adding a thing as far as I know, I'm not on Hinge, but they're not adding a part where it's like, here is the price point at which I am looking for a first date, right?
01:38:59.000This isn't something that people typically lead off with.
01:39:02.000She said $200 and my point was Uber ride, $30.
01:39:07.000Dinner, 50, 60 bucks, maybe 70 bucks, depending on how nice you wanna go.
01:39:11.000If you get alcohol, it's more expensive.
01:39:13.000Because if you're going to your average diner in New York, it's gonna be like 30 bucks, or 30 or 40 bucks if you get an appetizer and two entrees, and then booze, you're gonna be like 50, 60.
01:40:46.000And so, like, you can argue the girl's not worth it, but that's your preference.
01:40:50.000The point is, that woman has set a standard by which she wants to date by, and I'm surprised people are like, she's wrong to ask for it.
01:40:56.000Like, she can ask for whatever she wants.
01:40:57.000She could say, I want a million dollars on my first date.
01:40:58.000Look, and then you look at her and say, I'm so sorry, you have priced yourself out of, I don't think we're compatible financially.
01:41:04.000So the Boston Globe has Love Letters, which is their advice column, and they have a podcast, and they did a whole season on finances and how it affects relationships.
01:41:10.000But they talked to two, I don't know if they're Gen Z or millennials, but young people, because it is expensive, especially for men to be dating.
01:41:18.000I mean, it is basically something they have to, I don't know if you actually set a budget for it, but it's something they have to factor in if you want to meet a girl.
01:41:24.000And even if you're just meeting her for a drink, right?
01:41:26.000Alcohol is expensive, going out is expensive, the transportation is expensive.
01:41:30.000It's not to be done lightly, and I don't think it behooves women to be like... Well, it goes back to what you said about conservatives being the ones who would actually take someone out and spend the money and do the things and the chivalrous things.
01:41:40.000Well, I think it just doesn't behoove women to say, like, oh, I shouldn't expect these things.
01:41:44.000Like, you're setting a tone for a relationship, and, you know, I don't think you should expect a million dollars.
01:41:48.000On the other hand, these things come with a cost.
01:41:50.000Let's talk about this in the members only, we'll take questions from the audience then, but let's read some more Super Chats to try and get these in.
01:41:55.000NeuroDivergent says, request for Cast Castle, does Ian have like an evil Damien twin that's a neocon?
01:42:24.000He's like trained and he's like, he does a really good job.
01:42:26.000But it was funny, like the bit was, everything you think about Ian is just fabricated.
01:42:30.000He's actually this like really well trained British guy who's like, just trying to channel this moronic, drug addicted, whatever kind of character idea.
01:42:52.000Because I often will have the wrong source set, and I'll play a video, and then the audio comes out of the wrong feed, and I have to change the source.
01:44:44.000I just know someone told me to turn off all of my like government alert things and whatever else and I still got it so I think the Apple iPhone is in league with the government and I'm the first person to ever think this idea.
01:44:58.000The moment you turned it on, it went off.
01:45:36.000Alright, HunterKiller86 says the only bright side of World War 3 is Zephram Cochran will be able to make a warp drive in the aftermath, and when he tests it, he will initiate first contact with the Vulcan race and start us on a path to Starfleet.
01:47:31.000Sometimes we get lucky, like, we'll book somebody, and we'll book, like, just a figurative, like, you know, the head of the National Bakers Association on the same day the bakers are going on strike, and we're like, well, how did that happen?
01:49:22.000So the issue right now is if y'all are arguing there's something bad happening between Israel and Palestine and Gaza and the loss of land and all this stuff, it's like What do we do about it?
01:49:45.000When people were like, it's an open-air prison.
01:49:48.000If someone was being held captive as a slave, and they escaped, broke their chains, ran full speed away from the plantation, and the first thing they did was they ran up to some 20-year-old white woman and just murdered her, mercilessly.
01:50:14.000If, if, if the slaves broke free and then just started like murdering a bunch of random people in and around the areas because they were party.
01:50:25.000Donaris Targaryen takes over this city full of slaves and then she immediately executes all of the upper class and slave owners.
01:50:31.000And then they have a scene, brilliantly written, where a guy comes in for an audience with Donaris and says, my father was a good man who was fighting to end slavery and you executed him.
01:50:53.000If you think it was justified for Hamas to go kill children and kill random people driving in their cars, Israel released footage to journalists.
01:51:01.000A journalist from UnHerd, I trust UnHerd, they do a pretty good job, described these videos in detail.
01:51:06.000I would have preferred to have seen them myself.
01:51:08.000So, I'll reserve absolute judgment saying, I take it with a grain of salt.
01:51:12.000Do you agree that Israel puts out fake stuff too, just like Hamas does?
01:51:16.000I don't have any recent examples, but I would assume that it is 100% likely that they're putting out fake information.
01:51:21.000Yeah, because there was that one picture where there was like a child's book on the floor and there was blood and people analyzed it and said, well, blood doesn't look like this when it dries.
01:51:45.000And making an argument without proof, I just think is fanning the flames.
01:51:51.000So that's why I'm critical of the argument that Israel knew in advance and used their advantage because that kind of Innocent people in Israel were killed, and it shifts the blame on the people who killed it?
01:52:04.000Or it deflects a tiny bit, like, off of the murderers onto, well, the government knew about it.
01:52:32.000Well, you could say the same for some of the reports that you're- Absolutely, which is why I said when UnHerd put out a statement saying they saw the videos, I take it with a grain of salt, because I've not seen them myself.
01:52:42.000But when you watch a video of Hamas soldiers shooting people, it's like, is this a sound stage that was faked?
01:52:47.000I mean, the preponderance of evidence, Occam's Razor would suggest, no, you're looking at videos of people who are cheering for Hamas and screaming, Alhu Akbar, murdering civilians.
01:53:17.000So my point on the Netanyahu thing is, people have actually tried to come out to argue that Israel, the government, knew this was going to happen, and I'm just like, what's the point of speculating on that with zero evidence?
01:53:29.000Even Charlie Kirk, I'll criticize Charlie Kirk, what's the point of even saying that?
01:53:35.000Of a possibility with zero evidence to suggest it's true.
01:53:38.000Because I don't think there should be blind loyalty or blind faith to anyone but Jesus Christ.
01:53:42.000And I think, you know, I've been following... But that's not blind loyalty, it's like... It's blind loyalty to not question the possibility that someone did do the wrong thing.
01:53:50.000And I've been following... But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
01:53:53.000Questioning Netanyahu with zero evidence...
01:54:24.000And I'm like, sure we'll get to that after we deal with the people who murdered a bunch of civilians who we know did it and did it on camera.
01:54:31.000I just, I think it's not one of the situations where you can just look through a narrow lens.
01:54:36.000I think it is two parties involved clearly and I've been following AF posts on a lot of this stuff because I can, you know, look to them for objective news and I've been following it and I'm seeing reports out of Egypt that they gave them a tip and they said this was going to happen.
01:54:51.000They said that there was going to be some kind of an attack.
01:54:53.000There was going to be something happened.
01:54:55.000Well, I think that that gives Israel the foreknowledge that, okay, we may get attacked, so let's, you know, strengthen our borders, let's, you know, gear up our defense systems.
01:55:47.000If Netanyahu stood idly by while his fellow countrymen were being slaughtered and carnage was being left behind and Jews were being killed at mass... The issue is that that is made up, right?
01:56:41.000So, I mean, I just started, I was just praying for them to be able to withstand this once they knew and for their families and for, you know... I got to read this one.
01:57:14.000But let's make the argument that 51% of Americans did vote for Joe Biden.
01:57:17.000Joe Biden then goes to war in Ukraine with Russia.
01:57:21.000Should Russia be like, well, we can't go to war with the United States because it's their government doing it, not their citizens?
01:57:27.000Or is Russia going to say, we are being attacked by the United States.
01:57:31.000We fully recognize that not everyone in the United States wants this to happen, and we want to minimize civilian casualties, but we are currently being attacked, so we will respond.
01:57:50.000According to Jewish Pro-Life Foundation leader Cecily Routman, the IDF was given stand-down orders both the Army and the Air Force seven hours to stand down while those attacks took place.
01:58:43.000Like, the issue is, anyone can write any article.
01:58:48.000About any number of conspiracies as to what resulted in this going down.
01:58:55.000And so what we do know is Hamas wants to kill Israelis.
01:59:00.000Many in Hamas just I want to kill all Jews anywhere.
01:59:03.000They're chanting, even in the United States, from the river to the sea.
01:59:06.000They broke in, they killed a bunch of civilian citizens, old people captured, tourists were killed, children were killed.
01:59:13.000And then, I don't understand why there is this circuitous argument made for Netanyahu standing down, even from Charlie Kirk.
01:59:24.000It's speculative, it has no direct evidence, it has a report from thepeoplesvoice.tv, but let's be fair and say, any report anywhere that relies on, I spoke with someone who says it happened.
01:59:36.000Well, this lady named Ifrat Fenigson, she's a journalist in Israel, she writes for Beresheet News.
01:59:44.000She said that Israel citizens in Israeli towns near Gaza Strip begging for help from Israeli police or army, and they're not there.
01:59:51.000Six hours after this nightmare started, what happened to the strongest army in the world?
01:59:56.000How come border crossings were wide open?
02:00:10.000Then why are you citing a single person instead of talking to a person?
02:00:14.000I don't think an article from a person I've never heard of is evidence enough for me to believe a secutist conspiracy about the government choosing to stand down to allow their own citizens to be massacred to justify war for some reason.
02:00:25.000Well, Times of Israel reported that a top U.S.
02:00:27.000lawmaker affirmed Cairo warned Israel days before the onslaught.
02:00:30.000I mean, there's just a handful of warnings.
02:01:30.000Let's assume that the seven-hour stand-down was true.
02:01:33.000Now the question is, for what reason was it there?
02:01:35.000You, once again, are making the leap that it was an intentional act to allow the civilians to be killed with no evidence.
02:01:41.000I'm making the common-sense conclusion that Netanyahu, with one of the most formidable intelligence agencies in the world, there's no chance that he stood by and let that happen.
02:02:08.000And so I take Occam's razor's approach.
02:02:10.000And that is, the simple solution tends to be, in the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be correct.
02:02:16.000That may not be absolute, but I would argue there's a tendency towards, you will more likely be correct if you go down that path.
02:02:24.000All the leaps you've made are meaningless to me.
02:02:28.000It's, I have an idea that seems to make sense.
02:02:30.000Well, it might make sense, but it doesn't mean it's true.
02:02:31.000Well, we don't have the facts yet, and folks that are supposed to be the pioneers of finding the facts are saying, oh, well, we don't need to find the facts because obviously there's this group here who killed a bunch of people, so they're obviously the ones in the wrong.
02:02:42.000I think that several people could be complicit here, and the same rage that you share for Hamas that I share with you, I share for the leaders who allowed it to happen.
02:02:50.000Well, you can argue they had a lot to happen and that they failed, but that's about it.
02:02:54.000They failed and they were complicit, is what my argument is, and I don't think that... Without evidence.
02:03:04.000I don't have any evidence that they weren't complicit.
02:03:08.000We're going to go to members only, but I'm going to say this.
02:03:10.000This is why I absolutely hate this subject.
02:03:12.000Bro, you are wildly speculating without proof of anything, and you are adamant you are correct when you are not.
02:03:20.000Okay, there is no proof Netanyahu stood down intentionally to allow his citizens to be killed for political benefit.
02:03:27.000I don't think someone as poised as Charlie Kirk in the political world would just write a tweet and say, hey, I'm speculating that Netanyahu is wrong.
02:05:07.000When you have someone who has a track record of being corrupt, I wouldn't put it past them to stand idly by while their country... But that... Trump is under investigation as well.
02:05:17.000Well, Israel is a lot more poised to support Netanyahu, especially since he served for like 16 years.
02:05:23.000And so I just don't see... I don't see them doing that kind of injustice.
02:05:27.000I think they're obviously using the government to attack Trump here because they know he's the saving grace of our country.
02:05:33.000We've got to elect him if we're going to save America.
02:05:54.000You're saying you want less conflict and no more dead kids but then accusing Netanyahu of intentionally allowing civilians to die To justify political conflict.
02:06:05.000And that is an argument for escalation, not de-escalation.
02:06:09.000You are saying that Netanyahu, advancing even Charlie Kirk's argument, I disagree with, I think it's wrong, Netanyahu intentionally allowed this to happen through a stand-down order after being warned by Egypt and knowing it was coming.
02:06:21.000You're arguing that he ordered the army to stand down to allow a thousand plus Israeli civilians, including children, to die and be taken hostage.
02:06:28.000Because he was facing corruption investigations to benefit himself politically.
02:06:39.000If what you're saying is true, that Netanyahu did that, it would require an international, on the part of Iran or other nations, move to remove Netanyahu from power.
