On this episode of America First, host Nicholas J. Fuentes talks about the Israel-Palestine conflict, including the recent Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip by Hamas and its impact on the peace process in the region, and the response from the Israeli government and the United States. He also talks about Iran and its role in the conflict, and what it means for the future of peace between Israel and the Palestinians. He also discusses the possibility of a ground offensive by the Israel Defense Forces against Hamas in order to eliminate them completely. And, of course, he answers the question: What's going on with the Iron Dome missile defense system in Israel and why it failed to stop Hamas from launching an attack on Israel on Saturday? Finally, he gives his thoughts on the latest on the Iran situation and its implications for peace in the Middle East, including what Iran could be involved in it, and how they could be a threat to Israel's ability to hold onto control of the situation in the Mideast, and why they should be involved at all.

00:02:22.000The boomer generation and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
00:02:29.000Americanism not globalism will be our freedom!
00:10:43.000Obviously it's a lot of big news that's been happening over the weekend.
00:10:47.000And regrettably I haven't been around to cover it because it's the weekend, but tonight I'll be bringing you up to speed on all the latest events.
00:10:57.000Of course I'm talking about the Israel-Palestine war that broke out on Saturday.
00:11:03.000Total surprise, totally unexpected, but it's a huge deal.
00:11:09.000And it's something that's going to fundamentally change the shape of the region,
00:11:14.000And it's going to have impacts on everything that this administration is trying to achieve in the Middle East.
00:11:23.000It's a huge topic, and there are many different parts.
00:11:28.000There's many different aspects to this.
00:11:30.000So we'll talk about what has happened, which, strictly speaking, what has happened is that
00:11:37.000The Palestinians, a group called Hamas from the Gaza Strip, invaded Israel on Saturday, which they had never done before.
00:11:47.000The Israeli-Palestinian conflict hasn't really happened inside of Israel since 1948.
00:11:55.000And some have drawn comparisons to 1973 or 1967, but others have said, and I agree, that this is really something that we haven't seen since 1948, which is Israel-Palestine widespread fighting inside the country Israel.
00:13:03.000Meanwhile, they're bombing the Gaza Strip, major airstrikes, and they're preparing a ground offensive.
00:13:11.000They've called up 100,000 reservist troops, and some are saying that they may be invading the Gaza Strip in order to eliminate Hamas completely.
00:13:21.000So, strictly speaking, that is what has transpired, and we'll go into details on that.
00:13:27.000But we also have to talk about the role of Iran, we have to talk about the role that Hezbollah will play, we'll be talking about the response from the United States, and we'll talk about how this is going to affect the domestic political situation in Israel with Bibi Netanyahu, because there's been a lot of drama going on there as well, which we've covered on the show.
00:13:50.000Specifically, we talked about that in, I think, July and in the spring this year.
00:13:56.000And we'll also talk about a lot of unanswered questions about this because it's not just a very complicated situation, but it's also a situation which is shrouded right now in mystery.
00:14:11.000And there are a lot of questions that people don't know the answer to, such as, for example, why did the Iron Dome missile defense system fail?
00:14:21.000Why did Hamas launch this attack and what is their endgame?
00:14:32.000So it's a very complex situation, very multifaceted.
00:14:38.000I'll give you the news on all of it so you're gonna know everything that's going on and I'll explain all the different parts but also answer some of these questions because like I said it's a little bit strange and I that was really the first thing that I said if you follow me or my friend on Twitter.
00:14:57.000I have this friend who's on Twitter these days doing a lot of Twitter spaces and
00:15:03.000But I think the first thing that I said when this all started... Well, actually, the first thing I said is, we're back.
00:16:11.000I've been talking about it for the past few days.
00:16:13.000We'll also talk about a lot of the response online, because that's the other thing that's just nuts, is the response from many people on social media.
00:16:25.000Of course, all the Zionists are out in full force, and if you had any doubts as to whether or not Israel controls the media or our government,
00:16:38.000I'm sure there are no doubts anymore because the response from everyone on Twitter, from congressmen, senators, from the White House, from the media, you see.
00:16:53.000It has been so swift and universal and over-the-top in support of Israel.
00:17:28.000I'm live every night on Cozy and on Rumble.
00:17:32.000So it's Cozy.tv slash Nick and it's Rumble.com slash NickJFuentes.
00:17:38.000So if you're watching on Cozy, follow me here.
00:17:40.000If you're watching on Rumble, follow me over there.
00:17:43.000But follow me on both so that I get more followers on both.
00:17:48.000Also follow me on Telegram, link is down below.
00:17:51.000And with that I think we're just going to dive in because there's so much to cover and I don't know how deep I want to go because of course there's a huge history here and I think I'll save the history for later.
00:18:08.000So I'll talk first about what's going on, we'll get into the complexity of the situation, I think then we'll get into the history because
00:18:18.000People really need to understand the big picture here.
00:18:22.000We can talk about what's going on today, and the conflict, and we could even go through the history, but the big picture understanding of the Middle East is this.
00:18:32.000The whole region is Muslim, and in 1948, the Jews declared their independence, and they drove all of the native Arab Muslim Palestinians out of their land,
00:18:47.000In a crisis called the Nakba, which means catastrophe, and there were massacres and Palestinians were driven from their homes and they were forced to flee as refugees into Jordan, into Lebanon, into Egypt.
00:19:04.000And so this has been, when I say big picture, this is the big picture.
00:19:09.000This is the big dilemma which is going on in the Middle East, which is how do you integrate this Jewish colonial expansionist state called Israel, which is in the center of the Middle East,
00:19:25.000And surrounding Jerusalem, a holy city for Christians, Jews, and Muslims, with the Temple Mount as well as a very holy mosque on top of it.
00:19:36.000How do you integrate a state like this, with its very violent and disruptive arrival on the scene, with this great catastrophe and refugee crisis, how do you integrate that into an extremely hostile and volatile and young Muslim region?
00:19:52.000That's been the question for 70 years.
00:19:56.000And it's been fought out in major coalition wars, there have been intifadas, and there have been civil wars surrounding the country, and there's been diplomacy and peace agreements, and all sorts of things.
00:20:09.000But that's really the fundamental question is what is to be done about this disruptive Jewish state?
00:20:49.000There is the Gaza Strip, which is a very small strip of land, as the name would imply, in the southwest corner of Israel.
00:20:58.000It's bordered by the Mediterranean on the west, by Israel on the northeast, and the Sinai Peninsula, which is Egypt, to its south.
00:21:07.000So there's the Gaza Strip, which is ruled by an Islamist group called Hamas,
00:21:13.000And then the other part of Palestine is the West Bank, and that is the West Bank of the Jordan River.
00:21:19.000It's in northeast Israel, west of Jordan, and that is ruled over partially by the Palestinian Authority.
00:21:27.000Israel controls most of it, but the Palestinian Authority controls some parts of it completely autonomously, and the Palestinian Authority is a little bit more moderate than Hamas.
00:21:41.000And so on Saturday, it was Hamas from the Gaza Strip which invaded Israel, and they did it by land, air, and sea.
00:21:50.000They pushed very quickly into Israel, basically in all directions, and they started to seize towns, take hostages, and kill people.
00:22:02.000And it was something that totally caught Israel off guard and that's really actually one of the big questions is how did this happen?
00:22:08.000I think initially everybody was just shocked and surprised because nothing like this had ever happened.
00:22:15.000And nobody thought that Hamas was capable.
00:22:18.000And nobody expected that they would be this bold.
00:22:22.000To do something like this, but they broke down the fences which enclosed the Gaza Strip and they expanded in every direction and rapidly seized territory and apparently completely caught both the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence off guard.
00:22:40.000They launched a barrage of 5,000 missiles in 20 minutes into Israel.
00:22:46.000Which overwhelmed their Iron Dome missile defense system, so many of the missiles penetrated and were able to hit major Israeli cities, and then their fighters fanned out into the country and secured Israeli military equipment and took hostages and returned into the Gaza Strip.
00:23:12.000Basically the entire world, other than the Muslims, virtually all the Muslim nations either called for de-escalation or blamed Israel, other than the United Arab Emirates which blamed Palestine because they're totally cut to Israel.
00:23:29.000But that was the international response.
00:23:32.000In the days since, Israel has mounted a very aggressive, counter-offensive,
00:23:39.000They have apparently taken back all the land that Hamas took initially, so they've secured the Israeli homeland.
00:23:46.000They've launched airstrikes against Palestine, which have killed hundreds of Palestinians, and they have now enacted a full blockade of Palestine.
00:23:56.000It's a full siege, so they are preventing all electricity, water, fuel, medicine, and food from going into Palestine while they're bombing it.
00:24:08.000In the meantime, they say that they're going to launch, apparently, a ground offensive in order to destroy Hamas completely and remove them so that they're no longer governing the Gaza Strip.
00:24:27.000In the early hours of Saturday, scores of Palestinian fighters crossed from the besieged Gaza Strip into Israel by land, sea, and air, seizing control of towns and kibbutzim with shocking ease.
00:24:41.000As thousands of rockets rained down on Israel, Hamas announced its operation, calling on all Palestinian factions and their allies to rise up.
00:24:49.000By evening, pitched battles were still raging, while Israeli authorities acknowledged that several areas remained under Palestinian control.
00:24:57.000Hamas said it had kidnapped dozens of Israelis, including soldiers and civilians, an assertion that seemed to be backed by video footage circulating on social media.
00:25:08.000Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a state of war, and soon after, Israeli airstrikes began to pound the Gaza Strip.
00:25:16.000So that was the situation on Saturday and Sunday.
00:25:20.000And the reason that the Palestinians are taking hostages is because that's actually a very effective tool for them.
00:25:28.000Over the last so many years, the Palestinians will kidnap Israelis and they'll exchange them for sometimes upwards of thousands of Palestinian prisoners.
00:25:43.000The Israelis will imprison Palestinians and torture them and starve them and do terrible things to them.
00:25:50.000But they'll trade a hundred or a thousand Palestinians for one Israeli prisoner.
00:25:55.000So this is actually a very beneficial strategy for them.
00:26:02.000They sort of went in, took some hostages, went back into the Gaza Strip,
00:26:08.000And like I said, now Israel is conducting a full siege of the Gaza Strip, and this is the news story on this.
00:26:15.000It says, quote, the Defense Minister Yoav Galant of Israel said that no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel would be allowed into Gaza, the crowded and impoverished coastal territory that is already under a 16-year blockade by Israel and Egypt.
00:26:33.000So it's a full blockade, but the reality of the situation is this.
00:26:59.000They have always had a shortage of electricity, they've always had a shortage of food.
00:27:05.000After Israel withdrew militarily from the Gaza Strip 17 years ago, their unemployment was like 50%.
00:27:14.000So, this is a territory which is, some have described it as an open-air concentration camp, because the Israelis have literally built walls to enclose it.
00:27:24.000And all food, medicine, anything that gets into the territory is controlled by checkpoints.
00:27:32.000Mostly through Israel, although some through Egypt.
00:27:36.000And they check all the travel in and out of the Gaza Strip, and all the goods and commodities that come in and out, all the electricity and waters provided by Israel.
00:27:48.000So this is really like a giant prison camp and it's a horrible situation because it's so dense.
00:27:54.000It's one of the most densely populated territories in the entire world.
00:27:58.000And if you look on a map, Israel's the size of New Jersey and the Gaza Strip is a tiny part of that and there's 2 million people living there.
00:28:08.000So it's a very small territory with 2 million people in there
00:28:13.000And a large percentage of them, something like 40 or 50% of the population are children.
00:28:21.000So it's poor, they're without electricity, they're without the food they need.
00:28:26.000All of it, again, is controlled tightly through these border checkpoints.
00:28:30.000All movement of goods and people is controlled by Israel and Egypt.
00:28:33.000That was the situation for the last 16 years.
00:28:37.000So the Gaza Strip basically exploded into Israel.
00:28:41.000It's really more like a prison break than anything.
00:28:45.000And people talk about the carnage and the violence, but nobody talks about the situation that's been there for 16 years and even beyond.
00:28:56.000Nobody talks about how bad it is in this territory.
00:29:00.000So the situation exploded, they've been driven back inside their pen, and now they're being completely bombed with nowhere to run, and all of their, like I said, vital resources are being restricted.
00:29:17.000And it's interesting, Netanyahu, when he announced that the Gaza Strip would be under siege, he said that he was going to give notice so that all the women, children, and civilians could evacuate,
00:29:29.000Many people said right after, well where are they going to evacuate to?
00:30:21.000Under the long-standing blockade, the densely populated strip with more than 2 million residents, nearly half of whom are under 18 years old, face severe restrictions on the movement of goods and people.
00:30:32.000Most commodities, from food to construction supplies, are imported from Israel through official border crossings.
00:30:39.000Gaza gets most of its electricity through Israel and produces some power at a power plant with fuel imported from Israel.
00:30:48.000And receives a smaller number of goods through its much smaller border with Egypt.
00:30:53.000Electricity shortages are already chronic, with power often available for just 12 or 14 hours per day.
00:31:00.000And this undermines health services, water pumping and purification, and the economy.
00:31:06.000Movement of people in and out of Gaza was heavily restricted before the attacks, with Israel and Egypt granting small numbers of people permission to travel, mostly for work or medical care.
00:31:16.000On Saturday, after Palestinian gunmen began their assault inside Israel, the Israeli Authority stopped supplying electricity, leaving Gaza's residents with only three or four hours of power per day.
00:31:30.000Now Israel has closed both of its crossings.
00:31:33.000The Karim Shalom crossing for cargo and the Erez crossing for people.
00:31:38.000And this is a statement from Netanyahu.
00:31:41.000This is his response to the whole situation.
00:31:44.000It took him, I think, about a day and a half to come out with a response.
00:31:48.000He's got a five point plan for how Israel is going to respond to the incursion from Palestine.
00:31:56.000And it says, quote, Mr. Netanyahu today announced that Israel had formally declared war.
00:32:02.000Israel's response to the unprecedented multi-pronged attack by Palestinian gunmen from the Gaza Strip will, quote, change the Middle East.
00:32:10.000He said, this war was imposed upon us by a despicable enemy, by savages who celebrate the murder of women, children, and the elderly.
00:32:19.000The atrocities carried out by Hamas have not been seen since the atrocities of ISIS.
00:32:24.000Children bound and executed with the rest of their families.
00:32:28.000Young girls and boys shot in the back, executed, and other atrocities that I will not describe here.
00:36:05.000...said that we're gonna give him everything, and Tom Cotton said, put everything that shoots on everything that flies and send it over there.
00:36:11.000Lindsey Graham says we gotta bomb Iran.
00:36:16.000And they're sending a carrier strike group into the eastern Mediterranean, and some say that they're already carrying out airstrikes against supply trains moving military equipment to Hezbollah through Syria and Iraq.
00:36:32.000And this is a story, it says, quote, Israel has requested that the United States provide more precision-guided munitions for its combat aircraft and more interceptors for its Iron Dome missile defense system.
00:36:45.000Administration officials briefed Congress on these specific weapons on Sunday after the Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that the Pentagon would provide Israel's armed forces with additional equipment and resources, including munitions.
00:36:58.000The Biden Administration is sending the ships of the Navy's USS Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.
00:37:07.000And officials plan for the foreseeable future to keep in place some F-16 and A-10 fighter jets that have been scheduled to rotate out of the region.
00:37:18.000So the United States is fully committed.
00:37:20.000They literally lit up the White House in white and blue in the Israeli flag.
00:37:27.000And they did the same thing in Germany with the Brandenburg Gate and they did the same thing in the United Kingdom at Downing Street and this is what they're doing all over the Western world.
00:37:40.000Everybody's sending their aircraft carriers and missiles and money and they're putting up the flag and predictably that is the response.
00:37:50.000The other component, though, is Iran, which is the chief rival of Israel.
00:37:55.000And right away, when Hamas invaded Israel, everybody thought that Iran was responsible, although no intelligence yet suggests that they are.
00:38:07.000It says, the United States has no evidence that Iran was directly involved in planning or executing Hamas attacks inside Israel, said John Kirby, a spokesman for the National Security Council.
00:38:20.000Although there was a story in the Wall Street Journal which cited unnamed members of Hamas saying that there were meetings with Iran to plan the attacks.
00:38:30.000At the same time, now the big question is whether other people are going to get involved in the war.
00:38:36.000Specifically, all eyes are on Hezbollah.
00:38:41.000Hezbollah is a non-state military faction inside South Lebanon, just along Israel's northern border.
00:38:50.000As recently as 2021, Hezbollah says they have 100,000 fighters.
00:38:57.000They say it's the most well-armed non-state group in the entire world.
00:39:03.000And so many people are expecting that after Hamas invades Israel in the south, that Hezbollah will join in the fight and attack Israel from the north.
00:39:13.000And there have already been some border skirmishes.
00:39:16.000They say that the United States is deploying the Gerald Ford in the eastern Mediterranean to deter an attack from Hezbollah.
00:39:27.000On this, it says, Israel and Lebanon's powerful armed group Hezbollah exchanged military and rocket fire on Sunday following the deadliest attack in years by Palestinian gunmen on Israel.
00:39:39.000On Saturday, a multi-pronged attack by Palestinian gunmen on Israeli towns left 500 Israelis dead, blah blah blah.
00:39:46.000The scale of the attack prompted fears that a wider conflict could break out between Israel and other factions opposed to it in the region, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, an armed party backed by Iran that has previously clashed with Israel.
00:40:00.000Hezbollah has assured the Lebanese government that it won't get involved in another war against Israel unless Israel harassed Lebanon.
00:40:08.000For now, even as Israel rushes tank units to the Lebanese border, Hezbollah is proclaiming relative restraint.
00:40:17.000So this is the situation that's unfolding.
00:41:08.000Because it's not just that hundreds of Israelis were killed, but it's that hundreds of Israelis were killed on Israeli soil.
00:41:17.000This is something that they thought would never happen.
00:41:20.000Largely, Israel had been insulated from what was happening in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip or East Jerusalem for a long time, for the most part.
00:41:49.000So, this is giving them a major pretext.
00:41:52.000It's giving the State of Israel a major pretext, really, to do whatever they'd like.
00:41:57.000Normally, there is intense scrutiny of what Israel does, because they don't want to rock the boat too much with the United Nations, with the United States, with the other Arab countries in the region.
00:42:10.000But with Hamas invading Israel in such a shocking and brazen and dramatic way, they now have carte blanche to do whatever they'd like in response.
00:42:40.000And people have pointed out that if Israel starts sending tanks into the Gaza Strip, they're going to encounter a completely hostile population, destroyed infrastructure.
00:42:51.000It's going to make it tricky for tanks to get in there, for armor to get in there.
00:42:55.000And with the introduction of new technology and equipment like drones,
00:43:02.000It shifts the balance of power a little bit away from Israel.
00:43:06.000And we've seen drones deployed in other theaters in recent years, in just the last four or five years, like in the Ukraine War, in the Donbass War, which even preceded the Ukraine War, in the Azeri-Armenian War in 2020, and recently.
00:43:25.000And so the introduction of things like drones
00:45:00.000So it's already a terrible situation, even without a potential invasion.
00:45:05.000The question outside of what that will look like is how much further will this escalate?
00:45:12.000Because Israel's response, or even the threat of their response, their potential response, has incensed the Muslim world.
00:45:21.000And now all the Muslim states are watching to see what Israel does.
00:45:26.000Because they don't like seeing the Palestinians mistreated and they're almost obligated to respond or retaliate against Israel because Muslims within these countries hate to see Israel attacking the Palestinians.
00:45:44.000Saudi Arabia has had good relations with Israel for a long time, but the people of Saudi Arabia, they may just overthrow the Saudi government if they see the Saudis supporting Israel too much when the casualties may be so high.
00:46:04.000And the big question specifically is what will be the role of Iran?
00:46:08.000Iran and Israel have been in this basically an open war now for 40 years, where Israel is regularly bombing Iranian military satellites inside Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq.
00:46:23.000Israel's been waging a shadow war against Assad, which is an ally of Iran in Syria.
00:46:30.000And Israel has been talking about going to war with Iran for decades.
00:46:34.000They have been warning the United States of a nuclear program and that's why we have to go in and disarm them and we have to go to war with Iran.
00:46:42.000And so, a lot of people are watching to see if Iran will attack Israel, or if Iran's proxy Hezbollah, which is on Israel's northern border, will go in.
00:46:53.000Like I said, that's the other concern.
00:46:55.000At the same time that Israel is sending reinforcements south for this offensive on the Gaza Strip, they're also sending tanks and reinforcements north to secure their border with Hezbollah.
00:47:09.000So that's the situation and we're going to be covering this all week and we'll cover it next week.
00:47:16.000But this is where we are at this point in time.
00:47:18.000It's day three, but this is going to go on for a long time and there was a
00:47:23.000Rumor that the White House briefed the Senate and they told the senators that they should prepare their constituents for a prolonged American engagement in this Israel-Palestine war.
00:47:36.000Which means that Israel intends to be conducting operations for the foreseeable future.
00:47:42.000So we're going to cover all these developments, but I want to get into the the strategy here.
00:47:46.000I want to get into the motivations behind these different players because
00:47:51.000That's all good enough to understand what's going on, but what's a lot trickier is to understand the why.
00:47:58.000So a lot of people are wondering why Hamas invaded Israel this week.
00:48:28.000Machine guns from the Cold War and they've got these unsophisticated rockets and missiles compared to something like the Iron Dome, which is about the most advanced in the world.
00:48:42.000So the question is, why would Hamas invade Israel when they know that they could really never meaningfully win?
00:48:49.000Hamas cannot invade Israel and occupy or conquer this country.
00:50:11.000And the Abraham Accords saw the United Arab Emirates, which is a Gulf state next to Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain, another Gulf state, normalized their relationship with Israel.
00:50:25.000And to understand what that word means, you've got to go back to what I talked about at the beginning.
00:50:30.000The big dilemma in the Middle East is that you have this Jewish state in a very hostile neighborhood.
00:50:37.000And what comes with that is that none of the Arab states have ever recognized that Israel is a legitimate state.
00:50:43.000None of them, from 1948 until 1978, recognized that Israel was a country.
00:50:51.000They all called it an occupation government.
00:51:01.000In 1978, Egypt became the first country to normalize ties with Israel.
00:51:06.000In 1994, Jordan became the second country to normalize ties with Israel.
00:51:11.000But that's been the situation ever since, since 1994, is that the only two countries that have normal relations and even recognize Israel as a sovereign state are Egypt and Jordan, two of Israel's neighbors to its north and on its eastern border.
00:51:30.000In 2020, Jared Kushner facilitates this deal where the UAE and Bahrain become the third and fourth nations in the entire region since Israel declared independence to normalize their ties with Israel.
00:52:20.000These Arab countries can normalize their ties with Israel so that they can enjoy a mutual economic benefit, and they could begin diplomacy, and then maybe they can work towards a resolution to Israel-Palestine in the future.
00:52:36.000But they say that in the meantime, we're just going to have peace between these states.
00:52:41.000Maybe Israel and Palestine will be at war for the next century, but at least the Emirates and Bahrain will not be at war with Israel.
00:52:49.000And the goal was to bring all the Arab countries, or a lot of them, into a similar framework.
00:52:55.000Shortly afterward, Morocco and Sudan joined the Abraham Accords and normalized their ties with Israel.
00:53:04.000And that sets the stage for where we are today.
00:53:07.000In the last couple years, the Biden administration has been pursuing the normalization of ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, along the same vein and in the same framework as those other four countries.
00:53:20.000So in 2020 they got UAE, they got Bahrain, Morocco followed after, Sudan is still not yet completed but it's in the process, and Biden has been pursuing a grand deal, some are saying this would really be the deal of the century, to get Saudi Arabia to normalize their ties with Israel.
00:53:42.000Saudi Arabia has had a discreet relationship with Israel for many years,
00:53:48.000They've had intelligence sharing and they've had a low-key diplomatic relationship and some economic relationships, but it's been unofficial.
00:53:58.000Technically, officially, Saudi Arabia still does not recognize Israel as a sovereign state.
00:54:06.000They still call them a Zionist occupying government.
00:54:11.000And anyway, so Biden has been pursuing this deal with Saudi Arabia, but this is easier said than done.
00:54:17.000Although they have this relationship with Israel, Saudi Arabia wants concessions and they've been working that out over the last year.
00:54:24.000Biden has basically agreed to a security guarantee that Saudi Arabia would enjoy the same defense agreement with the United States that the United States has with Japan and South Korea.
00:54:38.000So something basically just shy of NATO.
00:54:41.000Biden has agreed that we'll defend Saudi Arabia, which they really want because they're under threat from Iran.
00:54:49.000We've also agreed to giving them more advanced weaponry.
00:54:55.000We're giving them a lot of concessions.
00:54:57.000And this deal was basically finalized.
00:55:00.000And I had mentioned this on the show in the past few weeks.
00:55:03.000If you've been watching my show, I've sort of hinted at it here and there.
00:55:08.000But the deal is heading towards completion where Saudi Arabia will normalize ties with Israel, which would be a huge deal because Saudi Arabia, unlike the Emirates and unlike Bahrain and Morocco and Sudan, Saudi Arabia is a big deal.
00:55:23.000It's a big deal in the Muslim world because the two holiest mosques are in Saudi Arabia at Mecca and Medina.
00:55:31.000And the king of Saudi Arabia is the custodian of the holy mosques.
00:55:34.000He's seen as the leader of Sunni Islam.
00:55:38.000So if Saudi Arabia normalizes ties with Israel, this goes a long way towards uniting the entire region, or I should say the entire Arab world, in normalizing the relationship with Israel, which would effectively lead to Israel being integrated in the region.
00:55:56.000And this would basically settle the issue.
00:56:04.000Where Egypt, Jordan, all the Gulf States, Sudan, Morocco, Saudi Arabia recognize Israel as a sovereign state and perhaps maybe Oman, Yemen, Iraq, Libya are not far behind, then that means that Israel is effectively a done deal.
00:56:23.000It means that they have arrived, they're a legitimate state, they're conducting commerce with their neighbors, they have embassies and diplomacy with their neighbors,
00:56:34.000And as I said, the goal of this Abraham Accords framework of normalizing these relationships is to say, look, we can't solve Israel-Palestine.
00:56:43.000These guys are going to fight forever.
00:56:49.000Let's have Saudi Arabia, let's have all the Arab countries make peace with Israel on a state-by-state basis, interstate.
00:56:58.000And then at some later date, once Israel's integrated and once they have a relationship with all these countries, then we'll figure out something with Israel and Palestine.
00:57:08.000And so what this effectively does is it isolates that issue.
00:57:13.000It isolates the Palestinians from the grand negotiation, because that's really what it is, is under what conditions will the Arab world accept a Jewish state in Palestine?
00:57:29.000For Saudi Arabia, they said, well, we want the defense guarantee and we want weapons.
00:57:34.000Morocco said we want sovereignty over Western Sahara.
00:57:38.000Sudan wanted a loan and an aid package and taken off the state sponsor of terrorism list from the United States.
00:57:47.000So that's really the thing, is all these Muslim countries are getting together and saying, well, this is our price.
00:58:32.000It isolates that problem and makes it Israel's domestic concern, as opposed to something that is going to prevent Israel from being integrated.
00:59:20.000Because, like I said, Palestinians going into Israel and Israel coming back and killing hundreds or thousands of Palestinians,
00:59:29.000Muslims in the Arab world simply will not accept this.
00:59:33.000Muslims already don't favor normalization with Israel.
00:59:36.000They already don't like this compromise.
00:59:41.000And if they see the custodian of the two holy mosques normalize ties with Israel as it slaughters Muslims, there will literally be a revolution in Saudi Arabia.
00:59:52.000And so this speaks to the motivation of Hamas.
00:59:57.000Well, the reason that Hamas would invade and tank this deal is because if the Israeli-Palestinian conflict becomes a domestic problem of Israel, if Saudi Arabia is doing diplomacy with Israel without a resolution of Palestine, then the Palestinians lose all their leverage.
01:00:18.000That's really their only leverage, is that Saudi Arabia or other Arab states are looking out for them.
01:00:25.000And if all these states are basically become allies of Israel and they have deep economic ties and diplomatic ties, well then they're no longer going to be a voice for the Palestinians.
01:00:39.000They're no longer going to speak on their behalf or negotiate on their behalf.
01:00:43.000And so then at that point the Palestinians are basically subject to whatever Israel wants.
01:00:50.000Specifically because Israel is right now controlled by a very hawkish, right-wing, extreme, militaristic government.
01:00:59.000So if Saudi Arabia makes a deal with Netanyahu, of all Israeli leaders,
01:01:08.000If Saudi Arabia can become friends with Israel while they're running this Gaza Strip concentration camp, then the Palestinians are screwed.
01:02:19.000If they were to normalize ties while Israel's killing all these Palestinians.
01:02:24.000So I think that's the motivation and that's the big picture.
01:02:27.000And the reason that Israel wants these ties, I mean, aside from the obvious, was laid out at the G20 summit last month.
01:02:37.000Joe Biden unveiled the plan which is supposed to counter the Belt and Road Initiative, which if you've heard of this, this is China's plan to build trade infrastructure all across Eurasia and Africa to orient trade to China.
01:02:52.000The United States has come out with a competing plan where they say that they want to route trade through a corridor in the Middle East between India and Europe.
01:03:02.000So at the G20 Summit, Joe Biden laid out this plan that said that we're going to build ports and rail that will connect Europe and India through the Middle East.
01:03:12.000Specifically, it's going to go through the United Arab Emirates at a port there.
01:03:19.000It's going to be sent by rail to Saudi Arabia, across Saudi Arabia by rail, across Israel by rail, out a port through Israel at Haifa,
01:03:30.000And then through the Mediterranean Sea into Europe.
01:03:34.000So you can see with the construction of that trade corridor, you can see the Abraham Accords framework.
01:03:41.000And then you see how the United States and China are involved in this.
01:03:46.000It's not just about integrating Israel, it's also about the United States countering the Belt and Road Initiative.
01:03:58.000Two, even Saudi Arabia, Israel, they're belt and road countries.
01:04:02.000They're giving money to countries in Southeast Asia.
01:04:06.000They're building ports and rail to build a trade network so that they can develop their trade relations with these other states and steal market share from the U.S.
01:04:44.000It's a huge capital investment to build the rail and build the ports.
01:04:48.000And then, when all these goods and all this value is coming through between India and Europe, the trade posts benefit.
01:04:58.000Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Emirates benefit from all that trade moving through their countries.
01:05:05.000But it's even more important than this, because specifically what they're talking about is putting fiber optics, electrical, and energy through Israel.
01:05:41.000So just like, you know, we've talked a lot about the Russia-Ukraine war, a lot of it's about pipelines.
01:05:47.000You know, not to get into that in too much detail unnecessarily, but suffice to say, if you've watched anything about Russia-Ukraine and Germany and America, you maybe know a little bit about Nord Stream 2 and about the natural gas that comes through pipelines through Ukraine.
01:06:05.000They were built during the Soviet days that supply Eastern Europe.
01:06:09.000We've seen, in other words, the point is we've seen in that war the importance of that infrastructure.
01:06:15.000We've seen the importance of what jurisdiction controls the pipelines.
01:06:21.000Well, with this economic corridor, it's going to be communications, electrical, and energy are all going to be flowing through this corridor, specifically through Israel.
01:06:33.000So just like that made Ukraine a very important country,
01:06:37.000And just like that made Nord Stream 2 the center of so much attention, this makes Israel a very, very important country if Europe is getting energy, electric, and fiber optic through Israel.
01:06:49.000In addition to all the other goods and services that are moving across the rail and ports in that corridor.
01:06:56.000So, when Palestine, when Hamas moves into Israel, they're jeopardizing all of that.
01:07:03.000When Hamas invades Israel and they invite Israel, predictably, to be vengeful and to exact this terrible retribution with high casualties, Hamas and Iran know that this is going to come at a heavy cost to their adversaries in Israel and Saudi Arabia.
01:07:51.000And this not only benefits Hamas, but also Iran, because Iran is the main adversary of Israel and Saudi Arabia.
01:08:01.000So of course Iran, which is a major funder of Hamas, supports this.
01:08:07.000And as sort of a masterstroke, the nightmare coalition for Iran is Saudi Arabia, Israel, and the United States all working together.
01:08:16.000So Iran has sabotaged and thwarted that, and they've also sabotaged all those countries getting together and enriching themselves with this trade corridor.
01:08:30.000So I think that's, for people that don't understand, because it's a big question, you know, why would Hamas, what would be their endgame?
01:08:39.000If they cannot achieve a meaningful victory over Israel, they cannot invade, they can't defeat Israel's military.
01:08:46.000Offensively or defensively, they can't occupy the capital.
01:08:49.000So some would say, why would they attack and why now?
01:08:54.000I think they attacked now in order to tank that deal.
01:09:00.000In addition to everything else that's going on, I mean, I'm sure they always want to do this, but this is a very important time.
01:09:07.000It's a critical time for them to strike out and prevent all their, all the countries in the region from getting together and becoming indifferent to their suffering.
01:09:19.000And I'm sure it had backing from Iran because they hate Israel and Saudi Arabia.
01:09:26.000So I think that's the motivation of the players involved.
01:09:30.000The other question which is tricky, so that's a big part of it, but the other question which is a little tricky is why Israel didn't anticipate this.
01:09:39.000And I've seen there's been a lot of debate about this as well, where people say that the Israeli intelligence is one of the best and most sophisticated in the world.
01:09:49.000The Israeli Mossad knows everything that's going on.
01:09:52.000How did they not know that Hamas was getting ready for a strike like this?
01:09:58.000And some have said it's an intelligence failure.
01:10:02.000Some have said that there's been so much internal political turmoil in Israel over the Netanyahu government that they were not paying close enough attention to their own border.
01:10:27.000I think it's a little more persuasive than maybe Netanyahu knew about it and allowed it to happen.
01:10:34.000Because at the same time that all this complex politics is happening with the normalization deal with Saudi Arabia, at the same time as we've covered on the show throughout the year, Netanyahu is fighting for his political life.
01:10:48.000He is being prosecuted by the government for corruption, for bribery, and for a number of other things.
01:10:57.000And so this is why he undertook this judicial overhaul legislation, which has been talked about in Israel.
01:11:04.000So Netanyahu barely cobbled together a coalition government in the last year.
01:11:10.000It was very unstable from around 2019 until 2022, but Netanyahu got back in charge of the country.
01:11:37.000He introduced this new legislation that would change how the judicial system works in Israel.
01:11:43.000And it would make it so that the Israeli Knesset, which is the legislature, would basically control everybody on the Supreme Court and control what things they'd be able to rule on.
01:11:55.000And the Knesset would even be able to overturn decisions made by the court.
01:11:59.000And many people have said that one, this is a cynical play by Netanyahu to avoid prosecution.
01:12:06.000They've said also, this is Netanyahu's way of remaking the Israeli state and moving it away from sort of liberal Western founding.
01:12:17.000They say that not only will this help him avoid prosecution, but some of the reforms that they're making to the court would prevent the court from intervening and stopping the Israeli government from bulldozing Palestine and building new settlements in the West Bank.
01:12:34.000Because one of the things that the Israeli Supreme Court will do is say that under its common-sense laws, under its common-sense standard, it will prevent Israel from making it a Jewish identitarian state or from expanding settlements.
01:12:49.000So it also paved the way for his policy goals, too.
01:12:54.000In the spring, we don't need to understand all the complexity of that for our purpose here, but suffice to say he introduced this judicial reform for his own benefit.
01:13:03.000There were massive protests about it in the spring.
01:13:19.000So he stalled the judicial reform until this summer.
01:13:21.000This summer he passed parts of the judicial reform, planning to pass more of it later this year.
01:13:29.000So my theory on this is that perhaps, and this is maybe a more likely explanation, maybe the Netanyahu government allowed Hamas to invade Israel
01:13:42.000So that Netanyahu could unify the country.
01:13:44.000You know, right now, he's fighting for his political life.
01:14:21.000Some have said it's an intelligence failure.
01:14:23.000Some have said they had prior knowledge but allowed it for Netanyahu's own political gain that he can rally the country behind him, save himself, and then do even more.
01:16:17.000To the invasion by Hamas, Joe Biden unfroze $6 billion in Iranian assets that were frozen in South Korea.
01:16:27.000And this was done back in 2019, when Donald Trump ripped up the Iran nuclear deal and implemented a mass maximum pressure campaign against Iran.
01:16:37.000They froze all assets they could touch and part of that involved $6 billion that were in a bank in South Korea.
01:16:45.000So Joe Biden unfroze those assets as part of a prisoner swap.
01:16:52.000It was a dozen Iranian prisoners in America exchanged for a dozen American prisoners in Iran and the six billion dollars was unfrozen.
01:17:01.000And it was pretty inconvenient timing because this was just one week before the fighting broke out so naturally a lot of conservatives have gone in on Biden and said well
01:18:25.000citizens detained by Tehran were allowed to leave the country in exchange for the transfer of $6 billion in Iranian funds that had been frozen in South Korea.
01:18:37.000At the same time, five Iranians held in the United States were allowed to leave.
01:18:41.000The $6 billion was Iranian money that had been frozen in South Korean banks after Washington, under Donald Trump, placed a total ban on Iran's oil exports and sanctions on its banking sector in 2019.
01:18:56.000These Iranian oil revenues were blocked in South Korea.
01:19:00.000The funds have not been dispersed to Iran yet.
01:19:03.000Qatar's central bank is overseeing the funds which are still in Doha.
01:19:09.000So there's all this talk now about the six billion dollars that Biden unfroze and Iran sent that to Hamas and Hamas used that to buy missiles to kill Jews, but that's not what happened.
01:21:03.000Because there's no apparent evidence that Iran was behind this.
01:21:08.000And the money's not connected and the State Department says there's no evidence they're connected.
01:21:14.000But in a scenario where Hezbollah, which is also backed by Iran in the north, if they go in and attack Israel, then Israel would have an excuse to attack not just Hezbollah and Hamas, but also Iran.
01:21:30.000And if they attack Iran, they're not going to do so without the support of the United States.
01:21:34.000And even if they don't have it, the United States will have their back.
01:21:38.000And so that's the biggest thing that we're looking for right now.
01:21:42.000Aside from the things that we're watching for are these.
01:21:46.000We're watching for what the Israeli offensive will look like in the Gaza Strip.
01:21:50.000We're watching to see what Hezbollah does on its northern border, and we're watching to see the extent to which the United States will be drawn into a war between Israel and Iran.
01:22:03.000Because that's really, that's the crown jewel that they want, more than anything.
01:22:08.000And it follows a long pattern that Israel has of neutralizing all of the Muslim countries in the neighborhood.
01:22:17.000Either by peace agreement or destruction.
01:22:22.000Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Morocco, the Emirates, Bahrain have all been neutralized by peace agreements.
01:22:29.000Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria, and Yemen have all been neutralized by warfare.
01:22:39.000You know, a major war in Iraq and Afghanistan, regime change in Libya,
01:23:47.000So, the way that we can see this unfolding crisis is sort of like what precipitated 9-11, which is a sort of shocking, surprising, unexplained crisis which escalates and evolves into a ground war in a major Middle Eastern country like Iran.
01:24:05.000And I say major because these other ones aren't really major, but Iran is a big deal.
01:24:11.000And it would require an extraordinary crisis for either Israel or the United States to go to war, but yet that is what Israel has wanted for over 20 or 30 years.
01:24:24.000Really ever since 1979, but I guess they've just had the means to agitate for it recently.
01:25:42.000Well, Palestinians are killing innocent people, they're killing children and women, and they're raping, and so on.
01:25:48.000But this completely belies the fact that for 20 years, thousands of Palestinians die every year under the Israeli occupation.
01:25:57.000And the IDF goes in and they indiscriminately kill.
01:26:00.000They kill civilians, they kill children, they kill more children than any army in the world.
01:26:06.000So if we want to talk about women, children, rape, all of that,
01:26:11.000Then we have to talk about what's been going on in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip for 30 years.
01:26:19.000Or we have to talk about the refugee crisis, we have to talk about the Nakba, you have to go all the way back.
01:26:25.000The Israeli state was founded basically with an act of terrorism against civilian populations and against families and there was a lot of rape and there was a lot of massacring.
01:26:36.000Now that doesn't mean that Israel can't defend itself against things like that that are happening today.
01:26:41.000I think it's perfectly reasonable that they would defend themselves.
01:26:46.000But to use this language like it's come from nowhere, it didn't come from nowhere.
01:26:51.000The Gaza Strip is one of the most unfortunate places in the world, and this is a situation which is maintained deliberately by Israel.
01:27:00.000Like I said, it's an open-air concentration camp, 2 million people living in a tiny strip of land, fenced in with checkpoints for all the resources that go in.
01:30:27.000And, you know, we have to figure out what the American interest in the region is.
01:30:33.000And the biggest concern for America is that we don't get involved in a war with Iran.
01:30:39.000The way that Israel goes against our interest is because they want us to fight their war.
01:30:46.000Just like with Iraq and Syria and the rest of them.
01:30:50.000You may not think of it this way, but Israel is a belligerent, aggressive state in the Middle East, and they are trying to ignite a war with Iran.
01:31:09.000They both have very advanced defense industries with sophisticated weaponry.
01:31:15.000A war between those two countries would be catastrophic.
01:31:19.000It would be catastrophic for the region and for the global economy.
01:31:23.000And the biggest threat is that Israel seeks to draw us in because of their tremendous power over our media and our government.
01:31:31.000So when an American looks at the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, well this is really a domestic concern for Israel.
01:31:39.000It becomes America's problem when the relationship between Israel and Palestine draws in other countries in the Muslim world, and when Israel wants to draw the United States into conflicts with its neighbors.
01:31:53.000And so for that reason, what is the American interest here?
01:31:56.000Not going to war with Iran and maintaining stability in the region.
01:32:01.000So what's the outcome that an American would want here?
01:32:05.000America wants this to be over as soon as possible.
01:32:48.000To be a country that is part of the international community, we need to relieve the sanctions pressure on them, and we need a guarantee from Israel that they won't nuke their neighbors.
01:32:58.000The only reason that Iran is pursuing a nuclear arsenal, and thereby ostracizing itself, is because they need to counter Israel's nuclear capability.
01:33:49.000There are a lot of horrible situations.
01:33:51.000And don't tell me about the plight of the Palestinians if you don't care about what's happening in Mexico or Venezuela or what's happening in all of Africa at any given time or what's happening in Ukraine.
01:34:04.000There's a lot of bad stuff happening everywhere all the time and really it's a shame.
01:34:09.000And do I think that Palestinians have a right to be angry?
01:34:31.000But I want to move on we'll get into our super chats, you know, maybe I'll think of something that didn't come up, but it's really It's a very big Conversation this really involves the entire world and it's kind of scary You know because this is going on at the same time that the Russia-Ukraine war is going on and this Taiwan thing is happening And you know Israel is asking for ammunition and we're telling them we may literally not even have it We may not even have the ammunition
01:35:02.000And so if we don't have it for Ukraine, and we give even more of what we don't have to Israel, what's going to be left for Taiwan?
01:35:11.000Because that's the next state that they're trying to pivot towards.
01:35:22.000So, and I, you know, I want China to take back Taiwan, but I'm just saying it's gonna be a problem for our... our neocons in government.
01:35:31.000They already gave all their... they gave all their bullets to Ukraine, and then they gave what's left to Israel, and... but we're still giving a security guarantee to Taiwan?
01:35:40.000Are we gonna have to nuke China because we're out of bullets?
01:35:42.000Like... because that seems to be the approach, right?
01:35:45.000We ran out of bullets to give Ukraine, so we started giving them long-range missiles, and...
01:35:53.000Literally, we said, look, we're out of missiles, so take these illegal missiles that we have laying around.
01:35:58.000We're all out of the legal ammunition we gave you all that, so we got some illegal stuff in the back, well, you know, try that on for size.
01:36:08.000So what are we going to do when it comes to Taiwan?
01:36:10.000We have no more missiles, no more ammunition, we can't make anything, so here we'll just nuke Beijing?
01:36:32.000I like it because I get to talk about it and, you know, it's all... it's all interesting stuff, but you really do have to pray for the people there because you just try to begin to imagine what is happening to the people in the Gaza Strip.
01:36:48.000That's got to be the last place you want to be right now.
01:36:53.000I think I'd rather be in Ukraine than the Gaza Strip right now.
01:36:56.000I think I'd rather be in Donbass than over there.
01:36:59.000Because these people are just going to get starved and bombed into submission.
01:37:07.000And you know the Jews, they hold a grudge.
01:37:10.000And they have no regard for human life because they think non-Jews are animals.
01:38:18.000You know, but it just goes to show that on some level, and here's the thing I wanted to talk about.
01:38:23.000Let me take a sip of water and then I'll... There was one more thing I wanted to get into.
01:38:35.000So, you know, we had this Ban the ADL campaign a couple weeks ago, and I feel like I've done this preamble a million times, but I'll do it one more time here.
01:38:51.000Keith Woods started it, but, you know, we joined in.
01:38:55.000And it was ban the ADL because we said ADL, which is a left-wing Jewish group, is holding Twitter hostage.
01:39:02.000Twitter is not able to have free speech because ADL is telling Twitter's advertisers to divest from the company as long as they allow anti-Semitism and hate speech on the platform.
01:39:15.000So this campaign started saying, hey, ban the ADL.
01:39:18.000Why would you have a group that is blackmailing the platform on the platform?
01:39:25.000And over time, it started out with patriots like me, America First guys, and nationalists, and people that are against the Jewish Mafia, speaking out against the ADL and criticizing them.
01:39:38.000But slowly but surely, a lot of Zionists got involved.
01:39:41.000A lot of Zionist Jews started criticizing these accounts, like Libs of TikTok, who's a Jewish woman, and Ashley St.
01:39:48.000Clair, who's a Jewish woman, and Ben Shapiro, who's a Jewish guy, I guess.
01:40:09.000Because Jonathan Greenblatt, who is the president of the ADL, is eroding their initial mission.
01:40:16.000The original mission of the ADL was to fight anti-Semitism, but Jonathan Greenblatt, who became the president of the group in 2015, has refocused it away from that to becoming like a left-wing pro-Democrat group.
01:40:32.000So, the right-wing Zionist Jews said that this left-wing Jew at the ADL has to be replaced by somebody else who's going to fight anti-Semitism and not be a Democrat.
01:40:44.000Now I brought up the context for that, the background, which is that the Zionist Jews never liked the ADL.
01:40:51.000The Zionist Organization of America wrote a letter condemning the ADL last year.
01:40:56.000And they said, we're condemning the ADL, but not because they control speech, not because they're a Jewish mafia.
01:41:03.000They said, we condemn the ADL because they're supporting anti-Israel leftists.
01:41:08.000They're supporting BLM, which is anti-Israel.
01:41:11.000They're supporting CAIR, Council on American Islamic Relations, because they're anti-Israel.
01:41:18.000And so, it was this factionalism, it was this Jewish factionalism where the right-wing Zionists were critiquing these left-wing, and not that they're not Zionists, they are, but the left-wing Jews do not like the government of Israel.
01:41:35.000The left-wing Jews like Greenblatt don't like Netanyahu and his Likud party.
01:42:24.000So this all got rehashed a few weeks ago.
01:42:27.000Like I said, initially it was nationalist guys like Keith and Lucas Gage and Joel Davis and Jake Shields and me and Elias Schaefer that said, look, ban the ADL because we don't want a Jewish mafia controlling the discourse.
01:42:41.000But the right-wing Zionist Jews sort of took that and steered it into their criticism of the ADL, which is totally different.
01:42:49.000They took that and said, nope, not ban the ADL because it's a Jewish mafia controlling speech.
01:42:56.000No, we need to fire Jonathan Greenblatt because he is not a strong enough Zionist.
01:43:04.000We need to fire Greenblatt from the ADL and just get a better president of the ADL.
01:43:09.000We still want them to control the discourse.
01:43:11.000We still want them to be a Jewish mafia.
01:43:13.000We just want them to be more pro-Israel, like Abe Foxman, Greenblatt's predecessor.
01:43:20.000And so I pointed this out, and a lot of people at that time were saying, well, we want to ban the ADL because it's not all Jews.
01:43:55.000Well now fast forward all these weeks later, and Jonathan Greenblatt is on MSNBC saying shame on MSNBC that they call Hamas a militant group instead of terrorists, which is what they are.
01:44:07.000They're terrorists that have to be killed.
01:48:13.000While they may not be a monolith, they're all on the same team and they're penetrating our society.
01:48:18.000We have a liberal, open society where we have outlawed discrimination.
01:48:23.000In other words, if I'm a white guy and I say, you know, let's say I work at a college admissions office and I say, I'm only going to admit white people.
01:54:18.000They're called, technically, rabbinical or Talmudic Jews.
01:54:23.000are the modern-day descendants of the Pharisees, quite literally.
01:54:27.000The Pharisees were the only surviving sect of Judaism after the destruction of the Temple, and they became the rabbinical Jews, or just, as we call them, the Jews.
01:56:15.000They're trying to take control of Jerusalem.
01:56:17.000Expelling the Palestinians is part of that.
01:56:20.000And when they take control of Jerusalem, they will try to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and they will try to rebuild a third temple, and the Antichrist will appear.
01:56:53.000You know, Jesus said, I came to fulfill the law.
01:56:57.000And he created a religion based on love.
01:57:00.000And based on a transformation of the heart and a transformation of the sacrifice, which is the bread and the temple and the whole Jewish religion into a really a baptized messianic religion.
01:59:10.000If all the Arab states couldn't win in 48, 56, 67, 73, if they couldn't win in two intifadas, you know, I don't think Hamas is going to do them in this time.
02:08:29.000We're gonna be magnanimous to our enemies, you know, we're gonna I mean we probably would kill the ones that we would have to kill Okay in a hypothetical scenario Some people would get the death penalty for treason or something like that
02:09:55.000Have you heard the proposition that Columbus Voyage was fueled by a desire to fund, through trade and resource gathering, another crusade to retake Jerusalem?
02:10:09.000He says he wanted to find enough gold and the almost equally valuable spices in such quantity that the sovereigns will undertake and prepare to go conquer the Holy Sepulchre.
02:10:18.000For thus I urged your Highnesses to spend all the profits of this my enterprise on the conquest of Jerusalem.
02:14:17.000Envy, it says, it's one of the Ten Commandments, don't envy.
02:14:21.000So, no, you're not supposed to feel envy, but they all have a flip side, which can be generative.
02:14:27.000But I was speaking strictly about infatuation, because that's the one that people have a problem with.
02:14:35.000For the most part, you know people get infatuated because I was strictly talking about like dating and how it causes you to lose the upper hand with women.
02:14:44.000A lot of men become submissive because they're infatuated and it's one thing you know and but the thing is you want to feel it you know it's good to feel it but don't let it guide you.
02:15:23.000How do you indulge in it without letting it weaken you?
02:15:27.000It's like anything else, you know, but a lot of people but the reason why people don't see it that way is because a lot of people think that you know when you love your girlfriend or whatever like That's all that matters like I'm in love and that's all that matters.
02:15:44.000I'm gonna get married She's the one I like her and it's like but marriage is a long-term deal so no, you shouldn't listen to that you should
02:15:57.000That should be a part of it, but that should just be one part of it.
02:16:01.000You know, but a lot of guys, they don't even second guess that.
02:16:08.000They're infatuated with a woman, and they become totally submissive to her, and they make terrible decisions, and then that emotion wears off.
02:16:40.000I don't really believe in that too much.
02:16:45.000But you know guys will fall in love and then like there's no limiting principle to how much they'll compromise for a woman and they think that's a good thing it's not that's not a good thing you know you should find a wife to start a family you know and that kind of thing find someone compatible that shares your values
02:17:33.000I would never lower myself and humiliate myself to be like these guys these days where they're like texting with a woman all day and doing the gayest shit imaginable with women.
02:17:47.000It's because the woman expects it and guys just give a woman everything that they expect because they're they desperately want to keep them, you know?
02:17:58.000So they say, well I gotta text her because she wants to be texted.
02:19:50.000You know, because it's like, well maybe Timmy Turner's dad had an irrational hatred of his neighbor for no reason because he was Jewish.
02:19:58.000Or maybe Dinkelberg was like exhibiting classic Jewish behaviors that nobody likes, and that's why Timmy Turner's dad rightfully didn't like him.
02:21:32.000It's largely similar to what's happening in Ukraine.
02:21:36.000You know, in Ukraine, this war, just like with Palestine,
02:21:42.000They had been preparing for it since 2014.
02:21:45.000You know, they had been digging in and fortifying since 2014 in anticipation of this war and with these on-and-off hostilities, with the secession.
02:22:34.000It could be that Israel crushes them because Israel has superior surveillance and technology and logistics, supported by NATO.
02:22:45.000But then again, it could be a big surprise, just like the Nagorno-Karabakh War in 2020, just like it could be a surprise with the Ukraine War in 2022.
02:22:53.000You know, the fortifications and the weaponry
02:23:00.000But when I say that Hamas cannot meaningfully win, I mean they're not going to win an actual war with Israel.
02:23:07.000They're not going to defeat Israel's military.
02:23:10.000What they could hope for is, like you said, they can inflict lots of casualties on Israel.
02:23:16.000But the thing is, Israel cannot back down.
02:23:20.000So, you know, I feel like Israel, if they're not making progress that they need to make, they will just increase the intensity of the conflict until they can win, with really no regard for human rights.
02:23:32.000And that's the thing, they really operate outside of that framework.
02:23:35.000So, human, or rather civilian casualties, collateral damage, it's just not a big variable here because, like Netanyahu said, this has given them the pretext they can operate
02:23:48.000Basically, independently of international law.
02:23:50.000The United States is not going to restrain them.
02:26:03.000If you went away for a whole month, there'd be an extinction-level event.
02:26:06.000Okay, you gotta keep me doing the show.
02:26:09.000Well, if they did that I would probably stop being Catholic, honestly.
02:26:12.000I don't think that that will ever happen because
02:26:35.000That would be to corrupt the magisterium.
02:26:38.000That would mean that the church is not without error.
02:26:42.000If the church said that gay marriage is okay, then that would mean that the church teaching is corrupted, which means it's not protected from error, which means the gates of hell have prevailed over the church, which means it's not the real church.
02:26:55.000So, consequently, as a Catholic, I don't believe that would ever happen.
02:27:00.000If it did, you know, then that would basically, in my view, make the Catholic Church illegitimate.
02:27:08.000So, they better not, because otherwise I'm going to have a big crisis of conscience.
02:27:14.000But no, they'll never do that because the Catholic Church is without error.
02:30:46.000I was just pretending to be an anti-Semite to de-radicalize people, and the whole thing was like, like a wink and a nod, like being very exaggerated.
02:30:55.000But the way that I see it, it's just very cowardly, you know?
02:31:32.000They are both Jewish, and it's a very Jewish attribute, this sort of like, very Jewish hyperbolic humor, shitting on your face sort of thing.
02:31:42.000Haha, I'm making a joke that's so clever and smart and fuck you.
02:32:31.000Don't apologize for things that you don't have to apologize for.
02:32:34.000If you do, whether it's real or fake, you know, all you're doing is just
02:32:42.000You're just giving credence to the idea that that we all have to Pay deference to that system, you know that we all have to do that So, I don't think that actually helps anybody So I didn't like it.
02:32:57.000I didn't I thought it was glib and you know trying to be funny, but I didn't think it was funny I don't I don't find that stuff cute, you know, because I'm somebody that actually made sacrifices to do this stuff like real sacrifices and
02:33:13.000You know, then people save face, but they make it a joke and that's supposed to make it less of an apology?
02:33:20.000It's like you're still apologizing, you're still trying to save face.
02:33:24.000And if you're not, then just own it, you know?
02:33:27.000If you need to lie and say what you gotta say, then do that.
02:33:39.000And your penance is you have to eat the shit.
02:33:41.000You know, if you want to be, if you want to work on the inside and not be canceled, you know, but you get doxxed and you want to carry on, well, you know, you can do an apology and stay on the inside, but your penance is you have to eat the shit and apologize.
02:33:57.000But this is a guy who's like eating shit and saying like, I'm not really eating shit.
02:34:28.000Because I don't know where these guys are getting paid from and they are Jewish and they say shit like that and I'm just really sick of that kind of stuff, you know?
02:34:40.000You know, this thing where, like, Mike Benz says that he's a Jewish de-radicalization agent, but he's kind of joking, but I can't tell if he really is.
02:34:54.000I don't know, and I'm really not comfortable with that.
02:34:57.000That's why I said on my post, I'm like, you know, it's probably safer just to not trust Jews, because they're always on these layers and layers of deception.
02:35:06.000And I just like to tell the truth, you know?
02:36:04.000The spokesperson for the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has just announced that due to the bombings on Gaza each bombing will henceforth be followed by the execution of a hostage.
02:37:27.000I'm so glad there's not gonna be a lot of them in heaven.
02:37:37.000That's a main reason I don't want to be in hell, because if you're too much of a Nazi and you go to hell, you're going to be stuck with all the Jews.
02:37:43.000You're going to be stuck with all the Jews forever.
02:37:46.000That's why you gotta, you know, if you're like a Nazi that's like super crazy and you're like, we gotta kill everybody, guess what?
02:37:52.000You're going to hell with all of them.
02:37:56.000You're going to hell with all the Jews that deny Jesus.
02:37:59.000If you're a good guy and you're a good Catholic, you go to heaven and there's not going to be, you know, there's going to be some
02:38:06.000Jews there that are Catholic You know that converted but you know all the bad ones are gonna be in hell forever Separated from you.
02:38:15.000So yeah, that's really the motivation You gotta really be Catholic.
02:38:20.000Okay, cuz that's the only way we're getting out of this newsflash Earth is full of Jews running shit.
02:38:26.000Hell is full of Jews running shit We got to go to heaven because that's where God is running stuff and it's mostly demographically gonna be white people
02:38:35.000Heaven's gonna be like all white people because Africans have been killing each other for millions of years.
02:38:43.000Indians have been killing each other for millions of years.
02:39:09.000It's gonna be a lot of the demographics that happen is gonna be like God It's gonna be like half white people half Mexicans and then like some Koreans and like some of the Jews from the very beginning and the very end and some Africans It's gonna be mostly though Europeans and Mexicans and hell
02:39:32.000It's gonna be a lot of black people Almost all the Jews that have ever lived a lot of Indian by Indians I mean like American like, you know cowboys and Indians Like all Chinese people forever I'm just speaking as a death as a Catholic.
02:39:51.000I'm saying historically as a Catholic.
02:39:54.000I'm not saying black people go to hell for being black I'm saying as a Catholic I mean these people
02:39:59.000you know they're doing a lot of bad stuff a lot of bad boys not a lot of black Catholics so that's that's sort of where we are you're gonna want to be in heaven okay if you're you're a white nationalist you're gonna want to be in heaven but anyway that's really I mean I'm that's just true
02:40:27.000How asleep knowing Arab brothers will do anything to make sure the Jews don't find a single moment of peace in the Middle East until they leave the Holy Land, insert meme pic.
02:41:52.000Maybe you're not doing enough, so shut the fuck up and, you know, go somewhere else and not talk about that, because I'm the one whose face is on the screen right now when you say that!
02:42:01.000You're over there, Crusader Michael says, destroy Israel, but it's my face on the camera when you say that, so, you know, go pray some rosaries until you fucking get over that, okay?
02:51:28.000He said, well, when you deny individualism, that sounds like collectivism, which is a cigarette paper away from communism, which is a... I'm like, dude, just shut the fuck up.
02:52:40.000I have an immutable right to be alive over here!
02:52:44.000I mean, they're gonna throw a fucking tire around my arms and light me on fire, and you're telling me I have an immutable right to be alive?
02:52:56.000They don't recognize that because they eat people.
02:52:58.000They fucking eat people over there, and they can't read, and they haven't even reached the agricultural revolution, let alone an industrial revolution.
02:55:03.000How does this impact the rhetoric and politics of the upcoming US election and presidency?
02:55:08.000Trump is going to want a war with Iran.
02:55:10.000It's going to make him want to signal to be more hawkish.
02:55:16.000And it's going to put pressure on Biden to do more, too, because Biden is going to want to reassure the Jews that he's doing the most and he doesn't want to appear weak.
02:55:25.000So it's going to create this pressure on both sides to agitate for war with Iran, although Biden has a little bit more pressure to stabilize things.
02:55:35.000But Trump, the pressure on Trump is to criticize Biden for not being strong enough, which means agitating for more aggression.
02:58:00.000Many have been outright heretical in their statements about Pope Francis, eagerly spreading misinfo.
02:58:06.000They're trad but refuse to respect the papacy.
02:58:08.000Yeah, well, that's why I'm not I don't really identify as trad anymore I'm just Catholic and I never really did if you go back and watch my show I was never one of these TLM guys or whatever I was never really into that.
02:58:21.000I've always been Catholic, you know, not not Catholic plus not Catholic premium I'm Catholic, you know So that the trad thing I agree actually with Francis.
02:58:31.000I think the trad thing is has the sort of schismatic tendency or even
03:03:28.000If footage from this current conflict leaked all over the internet where Israelis literally are raping women and killing children and torturing people for fun, would there be any consequences?
03:03:40.000It would be suppressed in the media and the governments wouldn't care, which is a pretty remarkable thing that they have evaded all scrutiny and accountability.
03:03:49.000I mean, if Americans were being killed by Israelis like that, there would be a media blackout.
03:03:54.000I mean, people that are really invested in a mortally sinful lifestyle being blessed, you know, that that is kind of an issue.
03:04:03.000And I understand the premise that Francis is saying, but which is like he's praying for them to not be that way or whatever.
03:04:16.000But I can understand why people have an issue with it.
03:04:31.000Yeah, don't worry about things like that.
03:04:33.000They're not in our control, and you know... If something like that happens, it's gonna be a major crisis, but... Have a little faith, you know?
03:06:40.000Russia's production will be multiples of what we're making every year.
03:06:45.000So, I mean, we're on track to increase production and we're going to replenish in years, but Russia is increasing the rate of their production.
03:06:52.000It's already multiples of what ours is.
03:07:00.000We just don't have the industrial capacity to
03:07:05.000To maintain the kind of army that we have people don't realize that people don't realize the extent to which the United States has been demilitarized And that's because that's really because of our productive economy.
03:07:17.000We don't have a productive economy like we did even 50 years ago so It's not such a simple thing to start, you know You don't just go in and turn the factories on and start making ammunition again.
03:07:30.000We don't have the skilled workers We don't have workshops
03:08:26.000I do completely disagree with a lot of the stuff that she says lately.
03:08:30.000And I'm sure she completely disagrees with the stuff I say.
03:08:35.000You know, but she's my friend, and I like her, and she's a good person, so...
03:08:39.000You know and I appreciate her sticking up for me because you know I mean you see how strongly she feels about this and not only does she vehemently disagree with me I'm sure she like hates what I'm saying but on top of that everyone's pressuring her to attack me so for her to defend me is you know I really appreciate that.
03:10:16.000Well, the Palestinian Authority is not really the same thing as Hamas.
03:10:23.000The European Union has been, I would say, less captured by Zionists than the United States, typically.
