On this week's episode, the boys are joined by comedian Josh Firestein ( ) to talk about a variety of topics, including: - Veterans Day. - The Nashville Shooters Manifesto - Joe Biden's support for gender reassignment for children. - A to Z debunking of John Oliver's "A to Z" segment on Israel and Hamas. - What does it take to be a good Samaritan? - What would you do if you saw a crime happening today, would you try to help? Would you be a hero?
00:03:15.000We're going to have an Empire State of Crime segment.
00:03:18.000The vigilante, and many of you refer to him as a hero, some refer to him as a vigilante, I refer to him as a hero, has been arrested for firing a gun at a man who was assaulting a woman.
00:03:27.000There was a Las Vegas teen beaten to death and the media is covering this.
00:03:33.000Well, they're either not covering it or they're just omitting the race of the perpetrator and the victim.
00:03:38.000And then we are going to be doing, we haven't done this in a while, this is a thorough A to Z debunking of John Oliver, his segment on Israel and Hamas.
00:03:48.000I'm pretty sure you can guess where it goes.
00:03:52.000Number two, Gerald, well actually first let me ask you this.
00:03:55.000Considering how stopping a crime has cost so many good Samaritans to go to jails in liberal cities, and of course the jails are empty because actual criminals are on the street, if you saw a crime happening today, would you intervene?
00:04:07.000Would you try and be a good Samaritan?
00:04:10.000That's a cultural shift that I'm worried about in this country, where people say, you know what?
00:04:27.000I had the perfect Civil War thing going, like, you know, this deal where it's a beard above your beard, but the problem is I was trying to trim it and I cut a chunk out, so my hair wouldn't look right.
00:05:19.000My favorite is when everybody changes their Facebook profile picture to like their basic training or boot camp photo of when a 45-year-old guy was 18.
00:06:13.000Lena the Plug, which again, I'm not sure.
00:06:15.000I'm going by their studio, their Hollywood nomenclature.
00:06:18.000So, you know, he's the guy who talked about, you know, renting his wife out to other people.
00:06:25.000And now, to really highlight this in case you wondered, in case you ever wondered as to, you know, the decay of Western civilization, and you ever wanted to have the thought cross your mind of, you know, maybe Hamas isn't all wrong.
00:06:38.000They're debuting I think Islam is a bigger... A new reality show to find a man for her to consummate with.
00:09:13.000They're doing a whole series where it's like, I'm finally going to sleep with my wife.
00:09:16.000And everyone's like, oh, this is great.
00:09:17.000And they always inevitably, they'll tell you right inevitably, like, oh, you're against this because you're jealous because you don't have a woman as hot.
00:09:22.000It's like, yeah, neither does Adam 22!
00:09:33.000That stuff, I don't want to judge people, you know, it's funny to make fun of, sure.
00:09:37.000It's funny to make fun of, but I do want to point out that I've never met somebody in their fifties that was like, hey, this is my wife, Martha, and the guy she's been banging for five years.
00:14:10.000This latest story shows that New York City is not a place for a good Samaritan.
00:14:15.000And, you know, like I've said, the left wants to turn violent criminals into a new voting base, and they want to turn you, the law-abiding citizen, into criminals.
00:14:25.000That brings us to the latest installment here of Empire State of Crime.
00:14:57.000Which is kind of an update to the story.
00:14:59.000For those of you who aren't familiar with what happened, this was last Monday.
00:15:02.000A guy named John Roat witnessed a woman being robbed.
00:15:05.000And these facts, by the way, are not in question.
00:15:07.000The woman being robbed actually commented in a way that is intensely disappointing, and I now believe John Roat should have just done nothing.
00:15:14.000This is at the 49th Street subway station.
00:15:17.000He saw it, 49th Street Subway Station, by the way, pretty crowded area.
00:15:20.000So this is some context that people may miss.
00:15:22.000There was a period of time, right, you're talking about Midtown, that area, that you wouldn't be able to find a crime.
00:15:27.000Police were basically responding to littering calls.
00:15:30.000So for this, this is almost like going back to the era of Jason Takes Manhattan.
00:15:39.000He saw a woman being assaulted, and he fired a warning shot at the assailant.
00:15:43.00043-year-old John wrote in handcuffs tonight, led away from the transit police station in the subway.
00:15:50.000Police say he is the man they've been looking for since yesterday, who allegedly tried to stop a mugging by firing a gun inside a train station.
00:15:58.000Police say a 49-year-old man, known for swiping people into the subway and then demanding cash, was also trying to mug a woman at the NRW station at 49th Street and 7th Avenue.
00:16:10.000That's when police say the so-called Subway Vigilante pulled out a gun and fired into the air.
00:16:17.000An action officials say was not only illegal, but incredibly dangerous.
00:16:21.000I don't know if you know this was incredibly dangerous.
00:17:50.000Well, you know, there's a lot of badness in the world and you really just sometimes you need to step up and protect what is yours and defend it.
00:17:57.000I have word that we have security footage of the incident.
00:17:59.000We'd love for you to walk us through it.
00:18:07.000Please don't... So it seems you have nothing to do with thwarted robbery whatsoever.
00:18:17.000Well, what you didn't hear on that tape was that that robber made an anti-semitic remark and my people have been oppressed for over five... Alright, so here's, at the very least, some responses that are odd.
00:18:40.000Like, I do want to, and you can comment below, I want to live in a society where I read more headlines.
00:18:56.000I mean, I believe it was even Anna Kasparian was on with Patrick Bet-David talking about the crime in California, what a horrible job Gavin Newsom has done.
00:19:03.000Once you grow up and you reach a certain point, you go, okay, I get it, the prison-industrial complex, but it turns out if we just release violent felons, we are all the victims of more violent crime.
00:19:12.000So you would think that there would at least be split opinion from New York City officials.
00:20:41.000Eric Adams, you know him, Brown Turtle, he thinks that this looks, meaning the man actually doing something, and I say this because you need to understand no one is coming to save you if you are in New York.
00:20:52.000It is going to get worse and the people in power are going to ensure that it gets worse.
00:20:57.000You, the law-abiding citizen, they are desperate to frame you as a criminal, and they are desperate
00:21:03.000to show empathy for the criminal so they can gain some votes.
00:21:06.000So they can gain- and Uncle Sam's none the wiser.
00:21:08.000So Eric Adams thinks that this could look too much like one of my favorite films, Death
00:21:42.000I think that new policy is see something, get raped.
00:21:49.000So, as for the would-be victim, John wrote, protected, because no good deed goes unpunished by the subway president, the mayor, and even the person you are protecting.
00:23:03.000Ridership overall is only 70% of the pre-pandemic levels, which means people must really hate it because it's impossible to get around that city without using the subway.
00:23:10.000Wait a minute, the numbers up in ridership is down.
00:23:55.000And this is the funny thing, is people are obviously, they're armed to the teeth in rural areas, and the argument that the left always makes is, well, you think, you know, in the city that'd be a real problem.
00:24:02.000No, no, in the city it's a real problem that you're not allowed to protect yourself.
00:24:07.000You know, you don't need to protect yourself against two-legged predators so much when you're out in the middle of nowhere, when you're out on your own farm.
00:24:12.000You need to protect yourself from wild animals out here.
00:24:14.000You need some good snake shot here in Texas.
00:24:17.000These are the conditions right now, what you are seeing in New York City.
00:24:22.000If you look at what happened with Dirty Harry, Death Wish, that was a response to the soft on crime policies where Americans felt helpless.
00:24:29.000That's what happened in the 70s and the 80s where the vigilante film was born.
00:24:48.000Especially in the big cities where they're not doing their job in the first place, right?
00:24:51.000We've talked about the recidivism rates.
00:24:52.000We've talked about how there's a turnstile, like 500, I think, either robberies or crimes were committed by like four guys or something like that.
00:24:59.000They were arrested 500 times, I think.
00:26:41.000I can use money to go purchase fentanyl, or I can use money to fund a homeless shelter.
00:26:48.000That's assuming that you believe homeless shelters are actually doing anything, because most of the money gets funneled to the people who run it, and they drive Mercedes to and from.
00:26:54.000But they do it at the back door, so you don't see it.
00:26:56.000That's been this week's New York State of Crime.
00:27:14.000Now, I warn you with this next story, we always tell you this is a PG-13+, but it is disturbing.
00:27:21.000We're not going to be showing you any videos of people dying, just to be clear.
00:27:25.000But the subject matter is disturbing, and it ties into the idea of criminals not being treated as the criminals they are.
00:28:39.000So, this just happened in Las Vegas late last week.
00:28:42.000A white teenager, Jonathan Lewis, was beaten to death by 15 black students.
00:28:48.000And I say that because it matters, and because if you were watching this on any of the mainstream outlets, or even your local news, that by the way is run by three major corporations, you wouldn't know this.
00:28:58.000White teenager, Jonathan Lewis, beaten to death by 15 black students at a Las Vegas high school.
00:29:03.000A teen severely beaten by more than a dozen students has died in the hospital after several days on life support.
00:29:10.000Now again, to provide some context here so people don't just say, well, okay, what was he doing?
00:29:15.000Let me read you a quick, this is from News 18 Local News.
00:29:19.000November 1st, over 15 juveniles brutally attacked 17-year-old Jonathan Lewis near Rancho High School after he sought to defend a younger friend who had been robbed by the group.
00:30:33.000Metro says about 15 kids were involved in a fight that has left one student hospitalized with critical injuries.
00:30:40.000A teenager is fighting for his life after being beaten by 15 other kids near Rancho High School.
00:30:45.000Metro officers responding to reports of a student fight across the street from Rancho High School.
00:30:51.000The investigation revealing the victim got into a physical altercation with 15 people before cops arrived.
00:30:58.000Now from the family of Jonathan Lewis, a Rancho High School student who has died after a severe attack by 15 other students last week near the school.
00:31:06.000And what really bothers me is that female reporter saying a physical altercation.
00:32:03.000And there are many, many stories to this effect.
00:32:07.000And this is not, to be clear, not pulling a Nick Cannon and saying it's because of the melanin in your skin.
00:32:12.000It is because not only of a culture, and I don't just mean the culture, you know, hip-hop culture, what a lot of young black boys who are often fatherless look up to, as an example, but because of white culture.
00:32:24.000Of saying we need to stand down and check our privilege where we tolerate behavior that would be tolerated nowhere else.
00:32:30.000Nowhere else would people run interference for this and we'll get to the overall crime stats that show this is a common occurrence.
00:32:37.000Right now in the United States, particularly in schools.
00:32:54.000I mean, you just, I mean, there was video there that we, again, we're not going to get too far into that because we don't want to show everybody, but stomping on somebody's head against the pavement as four, five, six other people, just in that one second, are also kicking, and others waiting to come into the wings to see if they can jump in on the, like, what are we doing here?
00:33:13.000Yeah, what kind of people are we raising in society, and what kind of accountability is culture, whether it's black culture, white culture, American, whatever, what kind of accountability are we saying is appropriate here?
00:33:22.000Because the media just went out there and said, oh this was a tussle.
00:33:39.000I don't know, maybe workshop it, see if you can come up with something.
00:33:41.000But something a little bit more along those lines would be more accurate.
00:33:44.000These kinds of activities, for example, the knockout game, they used to only take place with gang initiations, which were incredibly rare for the worst of the worst among society.
00:36:27.000Where they're trying to say, like, hey, Asian community, we're standing with you.
00:36:30.000Unless, of course, you're trying to get into Harvard.
00:36:32.000We're not really standing with you so much.
00:36:33.000And make it seem like white people were the problem.
00:36:36.000Why is it possible that we can live in a country where you can't just call it out across the board?
00:36:41.000We covered this with the Nashville thing.
00:36:43.000They called it out immediately when it was anti-black crimes, right?
00:36:46.000When somebody's shooting up a store because they're racist, and I understand that, do it!
00:36:50.000But when it's the other way around... Remember when we were live, Fort Worth, the shooting?
00:36:53.000It was like catnip, and then it was like, oh, it turns out it was a black kid, and he just came in and he was a bully, and we didn't really have that, and they were like, ah!
00:36:58.000Yeah, you don't know anything about this.
00:36:59.000They're like, we'll give you more information later.
00:38:46.000I believe it was 2014, 2016 when they stopped recording them.
00:38:49.000So, I acknowledge that because this one comes from a small sample size where they did conduct this study in San Francisco.
00:38:56.00085% of all assault crimes In the Bay Area were black against Asian.
00:39:03.00085% of all assault crimes were black against Asian.
00:39:06.000Small sample size, but that's because nationally your government looking out for you doesn't let you know who commits crimes and who the victims are.
00:39:12.000But you can make an inference, right, if 57% of the victims are white and 43% of the perpetrators are black, who only make up 12% of the population.
00:39:19.000Hey, you saw Crash though, so you don't want to be racist.
00:39:23.000You don't want to be racist if you're, let's say, in New York City.
00:39:27.000We're a violent offender who is statistically more likely to be black committing a crime against an Asian person or a white person.
00:39:33.000You don't want to be racist so you should walk right in as a completely helpless victim because you can't defend yourself with a firearm then you'll be excoriated by the mayor, by the New York City subway president and potentially white women around you if you do anything.
00:39:46.000You are now less safe but the good news is Cash bail.
00:40:49.000And I will say this, I've talked about this on the show, we do Black and White and the Gray Issues, where I just talk with, you'd be surprised as to how much you have in common, but that's usually in areas where there's a mix of white and black people and they've learned to live together.
00:41:00.000When you have people who silo themselves into a culture that they view as exclusively black culture and they other white people, that's where you end up with gangs of 15 Fifteen beating a white boy to death.
00:41:34.000If you want to say, hey, school shootings are up, or mass shootings are up, when statistically that's not necessarily true, these kinds of interracial gang assaults are up.
00:42:48.000If you type in review Walther, PDP is our new gun, review Walther, PPQ review, just type it in.
00:42:55.000You will see that everyone says, yeah, this is the best kept secret in the gun industry because they don't have massive advertising campaigns.
00:43:27.000Yes, you can be funny and you can be wrong.
00:43:30.000Sunday night, John Oliver, and we haven't done one of these rebuttals point by point in a while.
00:43:35.000But every now and then you get someone who volunteers as tribute to just encapsulate all of the moronic asshole arguments that you've heard across the webosphere, where you're like, oh, okay.
00:43:45.000He basically went to his writers that day and said, hey, how can I give louder with crowder a layup?
00:43:55.000He decided to take on the Israel-Hamas conflict, imploring his audience off the bat to see the humanity on both sides, which is nice.
00:44:04.000I know that for many Israelis there is an understandable sense of fear and precarity right now amid the specter of Hamas attacks and rockets flying overhead.
00:44:11.000But it's worth also acknowledging the overwhelming sense of precarity among Palestinians living under a blockade and a barrage of Israeli rockets.
00:44:20.000And it has to be possible to feel the pain in one community without denying it in another.
00:44:27.000That is perhaps the most necessary precondition for peace because Real peace here will clearly be difficult.
00:44:35.000It's going to be struggled toward as part of a larger pursuit of justice, which will in turn require an honest and uncomfortable reckoning with all the decisions that brought us to this point.
00:44:44.000And I know that hope is scarce right now.
00:44:48.000I'm sorry, he just left one thing out when he was saying they have a problem with the rockets being fired at them from Israel.
00:44:53.000What about the Hamas murders of their own citizens and keeping them from running and fleeing south as Israel said?
00:44:59.000You just need to make sure that you include in their precarity, as you said, the fact that their own people that they elected are killing them as well.
00:45:08.000And to be fair, look, and I want to, you know, full transparency here, he does try and lead us by saying that, hey, Hamas doesn't represent all the Palestinians, so we need to differentiate.
00:45:16.000And he says that, you know, just like Netanyahu doesn't represent all Israelis.
00:45:19.000That part, okay, so that part is true, and he kind of starts it off trying to both sides it.
00:45:24.000But often when you see that, it means, I'm about to lie!
00:45:30.000Because if you look at his time spent in his segment, we timed it out, criticizing Israel, about 20 minutes.
00:45:36.000Time criticizing, not just, we're not talking about Palestine, but Hamas, 6 minutes.
00:45:41.000So at the very least, you were going to say, okay, you were to say time criticizing the Palestinian people who are not Hamas, alright, that's very low.
00:45:48.000And then the time criticizing Israel, okay, and then the time criticizing actual Hamas should be highest.
00:45:52.000No, time criticizing all of Israel, 20 minutes, Hamas, 6 minutes.
00:45:58.000Pause this right now, and I want you to comment, what predictions do you have for the claims that Oliver is going to make?
00:46:05.000If you're not watching this live, if you're listening on audio, just hit pause, don't cheat, because we're about to go through them.
00:46:11.000And whatever it is you're thinking in your mind, probably, yes, you called it.
00:46:15.000All right, so let's go to, we'll do a claim truth format.
00:46:18.000A claim from John Oliver that Hamas does not represent the people of Gaza.
00:46:24.000This senior Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad, recently doubled down on the massacre of October 7th by saying, we must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it twice and three times.
00:46:35.000And for many commentators, all the citizens of Gaza are implicated in that sort of rhetoric, thanks to one key fact that you hear all the time.
00:47:32.000Here we also see it's not just Hamas that we're discussing.
00:47:34.000So you can say that they don't represent all of the Palestinian people, but you have not seen an election with 57% of the vote in this country in decades.
00:47:43.000And then you also look at this footage where you see Gazan civilians, non-soldiers, not Hamas, gleefully participating in terror attacks Against Israeli people.
00:50:15.000We are an organized organization, believing in democracy and freedom and political pluralization.
00:50:23.000Yeah, Hamas really tried to rebrand itself.
00:50:25.000Now look, I get that, but here's the truth, okay?
00:50:27.000Even though he tries to say, see, that same guy who, hey, you represent, you just said that they lie about everything, they can't be trusted as it relates to anything, period.
00:50:36.000That's the same guy who said that Hamas would repeat the October 7th attacks, in case you missed it, this was like 45 seconds ago.
00:50:42.000This senior Hamas official, Ghazi Hamad, recently doubled down on the massacre of October 7th by saying, we must teach Israel a lesson, and we will do it twice and three times.
00:50:53.000Remember when we made that, I had the whole quip about, is it two times, is it five times?
00:51:09.000So let's play the rest of his clip because then he tries to say, well, yeah, but that's now, but they initially actually presented themselves as moderate, which of course is not true, but let's hear him make the argument.
00:51:36.000Hamas has clearly always been radical.
00:51:39.000You know how John Oliver just showed you that he was lying?
00:51:42.000Yeah, well it's not that hard to fact check that the guy's lying.
00:51:47.000Because in the 1988 founding charter from Hamas it says, Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it.
00:51:57.000Just as it obliterated others before it.
00:52:00.000The movement is but one squadron that should be supported by more and more squadrons from this vast Arab and Islamic world until the enemy is vanquished and Allah's victory is realized.
00:52:30.000I want to make sure I get that right, but let me get it a little bit wrong so it pisses him off.
00:52:34.000This was him prior to the Gazan elections saying, We have come here in multitudes to proclaim that Hirbiya and Ashkelon will be taken by the Mujahideen.
00:52:44.000We have come here to say that the weapons of the resistance that you will see here remain Allah willing so that we can liberate Palestine, all of Palestine, from sea to the river whether they like it or not.
00:52:56.000That is exactly what they say right there.
00:53:23.000From the river to the sea, Palestine will be... It's just protestors who are just making sure that the humanitarian situation is addressed.
00:54:00.000Before they even set up the way to manage the country, literally right off the top, it's like, hey, are you going to put to, like, president, vice president?
00:54:06.000No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, They have a very interesting way of speaking.
00:55:50.000And they say, well these are the people, the intellectuals, the Noam Chomsky's of the world, this is what they believe.
00:55:56.000It's because they're just chasing some way to virtue signal and sound smarter than you rather than teach you, and they end up with a position that is entirely inconsistent.
00:56:04.000There's no way to be a modern liberal and hold these positions that they do as a matter of policy.
00:56:11.000You know, at least I respect, for example, Hamas, that they're consistent.
00:56:15.000Like, they're not like, on the one hand, I hate Jews, but on the other hand, I want to kill all of them.
00:56:20.000You're like, well, those two go together!
00:56:23.000I think you're wrong, but the left is like, on the one hand, I believe that girls who are six years old should be able to go through gender transition, on the other hand, I think that Hamas has it mostly right.
00:56:37.000So let's go through another claim from John Oliver, and this is the, again, the selective editing, what they choose to not cover, just like the racial crimes earlier, where he makes the claim that Israel is deliberately targeting civilians.
00:56:50.000In just the first six days of the war, it dropped 6,000 bombs on a strip of land just 25 miles long and at most 7 miles wide.
00:56:59.000That is nearly as many as the record number that the US dropped on Afghanistan in a single year.
00:57:05.000As of this taping, more than 11,000 people had been killed, including at least 4,000 children.
00:57:25.000Now that number he's quoting, Hamas numbers, just to be clear.
00:57:28.000The Palestinian Authority, those numbers are being, that's propaganda.
00:57:31.000Now I'm not saying that a lot of people haven't been killed, But the numbers he is citing are from Hamas, while he's saying that the Israelis, right, the IDF, are dishonest and that they are targeting civilians.
00:57:42.000Same Hamas has said a hospital was bombed and it turned out that the parking lot and some cars got fricasseed.
00:58:33.000Now, what also matters is even if the civilian death toll, let's say, is higher for the people of Gaza than in Israel, could that be because Hamas intentionally hides behind civilians without fail?
00:59:35.000Before you say Jewish propaganda, in 2014, Al Jazeera reported that Hamas had built a tunnel network under the Jabali refugee camp.
00:59:45.000Gaza's internal tunnel network is reportedly even more complex than cross-border routes and involves multiple branches that run under refugee camps.
00:59:52.000In Khan Younis, Jabalia, I hope I'm pronouncing it right, all other densely populated areas, these hide weaponry and are designed for Hamas leadership to remain protected and immobile.
01:00:02.000And here's the thing, so you have that Jewish soldier showing it to you right there, or someone who you would just say is a propagandist, you know, or a rat to people who support Hamas.
01:00:11.000Now you have al-Jazeera, who of course would rather portray the Palestinian people in Hamas in a more favorable light, certainly compared to the IDF.
01:00:17.000But let's go straight to the horse's mouth.
01:00:20.000Hamas themselves have even admitted and taken credit for these tactics in interviews.
01:00:27.000This is a popular question. Who was the one who was able to destroy 500 km of tunnels?
01:00:33.000Why didn't he destroy the shelters that civilians used to stay in during the war?
01:00:38.000We destroyed the tunnels because we don't have what it takes to protect ourselves from the killing and targeting
01:00:48.000We need to protect ourselves from the planes and the fighters.
01:01:08.000He says, yes, yes, we have tunnels because we're avoiding for people listening in audio because we're trying to avoid the airplanes who are trying to kill us.
01:01:13.000Now it's confirmed through Al Jazeera and other sources that these tunnels go under schools.
01:01:27.000And I just want to be clear, we're talking about the same places that Israel has had gone through great lengths to make sure that all the civilians can flee these areas before bombing.
01:01:38.000They did everything that they could short of smoke signals to let you know, hey, tomorrow at five, we're bombing this place because Hamas uses it and they have tunnels underground.
01:05:03.000The United States, since 2021 alone, 400 million.
01:05:07.000That's the amount of money that has been sent to Gaza over the last decade.
01:05:12.000Also, Israel has granted over 18,000 work permits to Gazans to work in Israel.
01:05:18.000And I'm not saying it's perfect, just to be clear.
01:05:22.000I understand there's no easy way out of this if there are people there who are ruled by Hamas, who constantly bombard them with propaganda while they also abuse their own citizens.
01:05:30.000But you tell me if this looks exactly like an open-air prison as the leftist humanitarian organizations want you to believe.
01:06:35.000Yeah, they actually did tell people to go visit Detroit, and then there was just an epidemic of hipster rapings in Detroit, so... Oh, cool.
01:09:39.000Because this country has emphatically picked a side.
01:09:42.000In recent years, we've given Israel 3.8 billion dollars a year in military aid.
01:09:46.000And you can make geopolitical arguments for why that is or isn't a valid thing to do, but it means we're heavily implicated in everything you've just seen.
01:09:54.000Yeah, it pales in comparison to the billions that we give to Iran, Palestine themselves, if you go to Libya, Jordan, Egypt, all these other nations who are not friendly to the Jews.
01:12:39.000They've been at war with Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Hezbollah, Hamas, Iran by proxy.
01:12:46.000Even if you just think that the Jews are wrong and you hate them more than all these other countries, even though it's the only place that has any type of basic human rights, you still do have to acknowledge that they might be a little more on edge because they're surrounded by people who want to eradicate them.
01:13:04.000Just to be clear, can we at least understand that why they might be a little bit defensive?
01:13:07.000Also, this is one thing that I think is pretty important for people to note.
01:13:11.000And you'll hear people talk about the radical Jews who want to bring about the end times, right?
01:13:16.000And they want certain areas and temples, for example, to be cleared.
01:13:34.000You have Jehovah's Witnesses who annoy you at your door.
01:13:36.000And then you have Muslims who, you know, you convert or you die.
01:13:40.000But Jews, they're not necessarily looking to invite more people into the club.
01:13:44.000Even if you were to go through their end-time beliefs, they believe there will be Jews and there will be Gentiles, right?
01:13:49.000They don't have to eradicate all the Gentiles.
01:13:52.000Muslims do believe in a caliphate where they have to wage a jihad and, in a perfect world, convert every single person to Islam at the tip of a sword.
01:14:02.000So there is a big difference where Jews, if you don't like them because they kind of just want to be left to themselves, That is historically, they kind of just want to have their own space.
01:14:11.000They're not looking to go out into Iran and turn them into Jews.
01:14:16.000But if you do look at the Islamic world, they are constantly encroaching on territory that they do not see as meeting their Puritan test of true Islam.
01:14:25.000And that's because of fundamental differences in the faith, even though we say they're all Abrahamic religions.
01:14:38.000I don't have a solution for peace in the Middle East, and even if I did, which again, shocker, this really would be the worst voice in which to relay that message.
01:15:40.000And after two hours, like, I had my fingers crossed!
01:15:44.000December 2008 Hamas started launching rockets into Israel during a ceasefire period in response to Israel destroying a Hamas tunnel, which they just admitted was a Hamas tunnel, not the people, a Hamas tunnel.
01:15:50.000December 2008, Hamas started launching rockets into Israel during a ceasefire period in response
01:15:57.000to Israel destroying a Hamas tunnel, which they just admitted was a Hamas tunnel, not
01:16:04.000Look, look, calling, this is very, very lazy.
01:16:07.000And I did a video a long time ago on the peace symbol and John Lennon and give peace a chance.
01:16:12.000Peace is a two-way street, period, or you have to blockade the road.
01:16:18.000If you're driving down a freeway, a two-lane road, and there's an oncoming truck, and you don't want to hit him, you don't want a head-on collision, but he does, guess what?
01:16:27.000There's going to be a head-on collision.
01:16:29.000You only miss each other Through an agreement where you both don't want to die.
01:16:36.000Peace cannot exist with a terrorist group.
01:18:00.000By the way, you know what you need to do?
01:18:02.000We're going to have a meeting, and until that meeting, where we can talk about whether we're going to have a ceasefire or not, we're going to continue kicking your butt.
01:18:14.000If you want to talk about a ceasefire, we can, but after we've come to some sort of agreement.
01:18:19.000Not, we'll pause and let you guys regroup, and the ceasefire just didn't work, and we couldn't come to terms after three days, and now you guys are ready to attack us again.
01:18:29.000Right now I want to cover that John Oliver is a liar.
01:18:32.000So, we all know that Hamas is a liar, but the fact that John Oliver in Western media is being an apologist for them, he tries to pretend as though he's going to be objective, but he's nothing more than a propagandist.
01:18:41.000The problem is he's a propagandist for an actual terrorist organization.
01:18:44.000In obfuscating the real information, in obfuscating the information that people would actually want to know if they were trying to, at the very least, you know, create their own educated or come to an educated conclusion, They would be incapable of doing that if they believed John Oliver.
01:18:56.000Not only because he uses Hamas's numbers as it relates to death tolls, not only because he completely denies the historical context of Israel and Hamas, not only because he misrepresents how many people in Gaza feel as though they're accurately represented by Hamas, Not only because he misrepresents the fact that Hamas uses those people as human shields, not only because he misrepresents the fact that Israel has actually helped the people of Palestine in multiple instances, or the fact that Israel has honored ceasefires, which Hamas has broken.
01:19:22.000If you were to watch John Oliver and rah-rah-rah in the comments section, and I see those people in the comments section, maybe we'll go and leave a couple of comments because, hey, you know what?
01:19:32.000If nothing else, you've got to remember that he devoted six minutes to criticizing Hamas Who by his own admission kind of has the extermination of Jews in their charter and 20 going after Israel.
01:19:47.000Guess how we know you're a propagandist?
01:19:49.000But people think that it's... People think that it's somehow highbrow because he has an English accent and he puts up Salon or Slate as a source.
01:19:58.000By the way, it doesn't offend me as a host of a show.
01:20:33.000He's talked about the myth of cancel culture where it's just people complaining about stuff when it's actually accountability.
01:20:39.000When people talk about a neutered comedian, They're talking about John Oliver.
01:20:43.000This is a guy who everything he says is safe, and he does target people.
01:20:48.000It's just safe to target conservatives, to target Christians, and to target, like, Fox News, as though at this point they're even a worthy adversary.
01:20:54.000So, if you are watching right now on YouTube, I don't know why you are.
01:20:57.000If you're watching on Rumble, you get to continue watching.
01:21:00.000We actually have our exclusive, uh, we're bringing back, it was banned on YouTube, the old Death Wish parody that we did a long time ago.
01:21:05.000It was Death Wish 14, I believe, uh, the transition.
