The rise of anti-Semitism and its impact on the Jewish people, and the role of the anti-Lebanese lobby, is a topic that has been debated for a long time. Is it a symptom of a larger problem, or is it the result of a deliberate campaign to delegitimize the Jewish state?

00:00:00.000 Let's talk about the rise of anti-Semitism.
00:00:04.020 Now, much like Bibi Netanyahu has been talking about a nuclear weapon in Iran for decades, Greenblatt and the ADL and all those people, they've been saying the same thing about the rise of anti-Semitism.
00:00:18.580 But I think they're actually right.
00:00:22.460 um i think anti-semitism has achieved escape velocity at this point there was another time
00:00:32.000 when being kevin mcdonald was totally not profitable and being kevin mcdonald to be fair
00:00:40.520 might still be not profitable uh you know you're writing books and and what have you uh but take
00:00:48.260 my meaning here being a semi let's just call it out a sort of racial anti-semite as as kevin
00:00:54.960 mcdonald is that that was not profitable you were marginalized you would get sort of shoved out of
00:01:01.660 the university in some way you can't keep up your website you're getting banned no one's donating
00:01:08.360 i mean all of these problems and we seem to have crossed a rubicon where in fact hating on the jews
00:01:18.180 makes you money and i i just i think that's it it's all about incentives on some point where
00:01:24.360 we're all a bunch of like gerbils in cages and if you press a button and you get food you do
00:01:30.200 you keep pressing the button it just is that basically and i i mean again i i have a lot of
00:01:38.700 criticism of the type of anti-semitism that is now popular but i you cannot deny that it is
00:01:45.460 a phenomenon. And polls coming from highly respected institutions like Pew just bear this
00:01:50.840 out. Young people have given up on Israel, particularly on the left, but you also see it
00:01:57.360 on the right. And are the Jews a problem? I mean, we can go look at those stats on polling,
00:02:05.160 but more people are saying that now, whereas I would imagine 2% of the population would have
00:02:10.600 said that in the 1990s. So something has happened there. There has been an awakening. And maybe you
00:02:17.280 could also say that Bibi Netanyahu is quite aware of this. And in some way, this this regime change
00:02:27.400 war against Iran had to happen now because it won't be possible under a Kamala Harris presidency
00:02:34.800 in 2028 or or a mumdami presidency in 2032 or whatever is going to happen it won't be possible
00:02:42.600 anymore you've got to do it right this instant there actually are enough right wingers they
00:02:48.040 out they still barely outnumber the anti-semite anti-semites the christian zionists or zionist
00:02:53.980 christians so you've got to strike now and they did it um but what i guess i'll ask like an open
00:03:01.640 in a question and then i want to play this clip of carrie prajean bowler uh on the tucker carlson
00:03:08.060 program we can sort of go into it because i i think there's some you know particular qualities
00:03:12.560 of this but what do you make of the general phenomenon of anti-semit let's just call it i
00:03:19.540 don't even want to call it anti-zionism let's just call it what it is anti-semitism and its
00:03:24.840 popularity and ubiquity at this point what are just some thoughts on this it's fascinating
00:03:31.320 to me because we've been talking about these questions. We've been highlighting them at a
00:03:36.600 point where the game of whack-a-mole was playable for the ADL because as long as you don't have the
00:03:42.660 critical mass of the antisemite, you can knock them one by one. And I paid extremely dearly in
00:03:51.000 my life the price of touching those questions because when you're alone, you get the whack
00:03:58.340 and it's easy to whack you.
00:04:00.380 But inevitably, there was going to be a mess that arises.
00:04:04.000 It's like, at this point, what can the ADL do
00:04:06.520 against Karine Prejean-Bowler?
00:04:09.080 It's like, are you going to ruin the reputation
00:04:12.140 of this beautiful old lady?
00:04:15.680 It's unfeasible.
00:04:16.980 And that has been my hope for a long time.
00:04:20.760 In the MILFs attack, you have no chance.
00:04:22.160 You can't do anything about the MILF or differences, Zara.
00:04:26.220 It was my hope that the mass would become unmanageable because single targeting is unviable.
00:04:35.840 And ADL tried scaling what they're doing basically into legal harassment, AI controlled campaign, which is literally Jonathan Greenblatt was describing that they have an AI system that if you have a problem with someone saying anti-Semitic stuff,
00:04:52.500 The AI is going to give you all of the paths in which you can give them legal trouble,
00:04:56.780 even if it's not related to their anti-Semitic statement.
00:04:59.940 Let's get this guy into trouble with child protective service.
00:05:03.380 Let's get this guy divorced.
00:05:04.800 Let's get this guy targeted by police in his local area.
00:05:08.420 So it's like, yeah, they do have the machine,
00:05:10.540 but you're not going to pull this against a whole population of people
00:05:15.520 who are living under the cultural influence of the streams that we've been part of.
00:05:20.560 So it has become unfeasible, and that I'm thankful for.
00:05:25.220 But, and perhaps there you can play the Karine Prejean clip,
00:05:30.440 it is not an anti-Semitism that properly presents itself,
00:05:36.140 and it is an anti-Semitism that comes incomplete.
00:05:40.000 There is an unwillingness to say the right things here.
00:05:43.840 And it's all very clear what they're saying, Tucker Carlson,
00:05:48.340 Carrie, even Joe Kent this morning,
00:05:50.820 it's all very clear what they're saying,
00:05:53.000 but they still are avoiding the key words.
00:05:56.780 Why?
00:05:57.460 Is it because they are not willing,
00:06:00.200 they are not just willing to dip the toes,
00:06:02.660 but not willing to go there?
00:06:04.620 Is it because of social taboos
00:06:06.440 or is it because fundamentally,
00:06:08.220 they still do not understand the situation?
00:06:11.440 I'm wondering,
00:06:12.740 because when you use bizarre phrasings,
00:06:17.180 Sometimes it indicates a failure of understanding the true phenomenon.
00:06:22.720 And I'm wondering if these people actually understand it.
00:06:25.740 Just listen to a little bit of this.
00:06:27.380 I might even play like five or seven minutes because she's getting at a theology here.
00:06:33.900 And it's worth pointing that out.
00:06:35.820 Our own people.
00:06:36.780 Did either one of them, so Dan is a self-described Christian.
00:06:40.060 Paula White is some kind of Christian minister, I guess.
00:06:44.400 I want to be clear.
00:06:45.360 doesn't look like christianity to me but i'm trying not to judge but did either one of them
00:06:49.420 okay sorry i'm just jumping in tucker feigns ignorance constantly but then he's now but then
00:06:56.460 on the other side of his mouth he calls out heretics or something like paula white is not
00:07:00.940 a christian like okay well what is like are you like an episcopalian dogmatist or something like
00:07:08.640 i i don't it's just i don't know obviously she's a christian she believes that the only way to get
00:07:13.980 to heaven is to put your faith in Jesus Christ, who redeemed you for your sins. So she's a
00:07:18.420 Christian. I mean, let's just stop the nonsense. I don't like it either. I would never attend her
00:07:22.060 crazy churches. But like, I'm not going to, I don't know, I guess I'm not going to denounce
00:07:29.120 like, oh, you're not a real Christian, you're going to hell or something. I'm not sure about
00:07:33.420 that. It's the loosest, most passive aggressive heretics chase ever. Yes. The Christian faith is
00:07:40.620 supporting the netanyahu government do they explain the theology there because i i don't i
00:07:45.460 don't understand it yeah no they never okay do you see just the little like it's a shell game
00:07:51.060 because they say the netanyahu government is what he said he didn't say israel so like so what
00:07:58.360 they're doing is they're playing this little shell game where where it's like oh the netanyahu
00:08:02.220 government oh that's in the bible that's not in my bible i don't know and it's like okay it's like
00:08:07.200 Israel is obviously in the Bible in many different forms.
00:08:13.220 The Torah is a story of people like Abraham, marginal people in many ways, who make a covenant with God and are promised that they're going to have more children than the stars in the sky, and you will have a holy land.
00:08:32.280 exodus is the story many generations later of a former slave population being oppressed
00:08:39.560 marching into the holy land and by the end of the torah they've done it they've committed
00:08:45.560 genocide against an indigenous population but anyway i won't say that but they've done it they
00:08:50.360 have the holy land that is your bible and so like to didn't to play this little shell game where
00:08:58.060 it's like oh does god support netanyahu or something that's just not serious and you're
00:09:05.520 you're denying the reality of your own religion like you hold the torah to be sacred and this is
00:09:12.680 where christianity fails uh because if you start on false ground if you start with oh i i adore and
00:09:21.000 sanctified this book okay well it's a history book kind of and a moral book kind of uh certainly
00:09:28.560 not factually correct certainly collected across various uh streams of uncontrollable streams of
00:09:36.580 information and it's like okay well if that's the word of god then you don't have an intellectual
00:09:42.600 process to even get to where you were so your only question left is oh well was that in my book
00:09:48.920 was that in that book and this is the big cognitive failure of christianity and i believe
00:09:56.020 it will be a doom for christianity this fact of not cultivating deeper understanding
00:10:03.300 this dogmatic reflex of well is that the truth in the bible well do you realize that you're never
00:10:11.880 you cannot have a book that tells you everything about the future it's just physically impossible
00:10:18.060 And so, yeah, I think it illustrates why ultimately American Christianity will stay in place and fail.
00:10:26.740 Now, they will survive over hundreds of years, but they will be unable to call out the progressive genocide that's happening to them.
00:10:37.060 And they will just stay silent in front of it because it's not in their Bible.
00:10:40.780 Right. And it's the same movement that gave birth to Carrie Janine Bola also gave birth to the Iran War. And no other movement has successfully done that. So is there something going on with the fact that you're making a theological criticism of the Iran War? Do you think that there might be something to that, that it's sort of inherently self-defeating?
00:11:06.760 But let's go on, because she gets into like the temple and all this kind of stuff.
00:11:10.920 Never explained it.
00:11:11.600 They just said, you can't have your theology.
00:11:14.720 You can't believe what you want.
00:11:16.460 You have to submit to ours.
00:11:18.160 But their theology is that Christians are required as a matter of faith to support the
00:11:24.000 government of Israel.
00:11:25.240 Oh, yeah.
00:11:25.840 Do you see how he keeps doing that?
00:11:28.600 It's a show game.
00:11:30.140 I did magic when I was a kid.
00:11:32.100 I loved being a magician.
00:11:33.820 And so I know what you do, right?
00:11:35.720 the ball you tell the person that the little ball is in that shell it's not it's in this shell it's
00:11:42.380 in the other one and you reveal it you're like oh look i made it like transport or something
00:11:46.360 it's just it it's really bothersome to keep doing that like the status of israel is clearly in the
00:11:54.900 bible and by this i don't mean the like tribes of israel or like the net the neo israel that is the
00:12:00.860 church and whatever or i i'm referring to the land canaan basically israel do they have a a stake
00:12:09.820 there is that in the bible is that part of yahweh's promise the answer is clearly yes so stop
00:12:15.440 talking about netanyahu he is irrelevant to this question and you keep mentioning it so that you
00:12:22.460 can like have your cake and eat it too it's like oh of course we believe the bible but you know
00:12:26.820 that yahoo does he is he he's secular is he what like what are you talking about oh yeah do you
00:12:33.480 have any idea those who bless israel will be blessed it's exactly what that's ted told you
00:12:37.920 god yeah i mean he had no idea where in the bible it was of course that's not that line is not
00:12:41.800 actually in the bible it doesn't say that um but whatever i the leap between that whatever that
00:12:48.480 means it does mean something and the moral the religious requirement to support the government
00:12:55.980 of Israel. I mean, those are just like completely two different things. I didn't, they don't think
00:13:00.120 they are. Did Paula White or Dan Patrick explain where you were wrong on doctrine? No, no, they
00:13:06.580 just said, I cannot hold firm to replacement theology, which they don't know Catholics. It's
00:13:11.200 fulfillment theology. We believe that we are the fulfillment, you know, it's not replaced. They
00:13:16.400 like to dig us and say, oh, you believe in replacement theology? No, no, no. We're the
00:13:20.160 fulfillment. Christ is the fulfillment of Israel. Well, that's what we are the new people.
00:13:24.980 new testament yeah exactly um i mean it says it like on every page uh so but they're accusing you
00:13:32.080 of believing in something called replacement theology for people who don't follow this and
00:13:35.540 i'm kind of one of them i don't fully understand what that means what do they mean by that they
00:13:38.800 believe tucker like literally does not understand anything this is his entire like mo it's like i
00:13:44.400 don't understand what is this what is that um so replacement theology their claim is that the
00:13:49.760 church has replaced israel so for 2 000 years that's what all of the early church fathers have
00:13:53.660 taught, that we are the new Israel, we're the spiritual Semites. They would literally be
00:14:00.080 rolling in their graves if they thought that we were being told that 1948 Israel is some biblical
00:14:06.780 prophecy fulfillment. I mean, that alone is insane, that they think that this political
00:14:13.340 state of Israel that was created in 48, mostly by atheists, is some biblical prophecy being fulfilled.
00:14:20.480 okay it just literally is I mean it's like what do you want why does she say the word political
00:14:27.160 like it like that was a problem or the fact that Herzl was an atheist or something well God works
00:14:34.920 in mysterious ways my child and he might very well use an atheist to advance his agenda now
00:14:42.680 again is she arguing that like the 48 one wasn't it like but our real one is I mean what is she
00:14:50.120 arguing exactly? Because just a plain reading of the Bible, you at least have to be like, well,
00:14:56.780 I think they're kind of like having the promise fulfilled, right? I mean, what else is happening?
00:15:03.380 Well, it's a whole game of reinterpretation. And they're trying to prepare the youth and
00:15:11.200 the Christian audience into having a certain interpretation of the Bible. Now, the problem is
00:15:17.520 there it's always political it's a it's she's trying to to distinguish between political and
00:15:25.100 the israel of the bible which would have been some pure non-political entity does she think
00:15:30.380 it's like no matter at which point you had some organization of jews anywhere yes there was a king
00:15:36.740 and there were there were local authorities so it's always political and it's a it's a kind of
00:15:43.120 a delusion. And I think they're counting on the fact that a young public or whatever public is
00:15:49.900 watching them will not dig to ask these questions and would simply say, oh, my experience of the
00:15:56.340 Bible, as I hear it from my pastor or from my priest, it's a non-political message. It's a
00:16:03.100 message of love. So they're counting on this kind of psycho-emotional interpretation of biblical
00:16:09.840 stuff rather than actual political documentation which the bible pretty much is yeah but there's
00:16:17.720 also this thing and i i struggle to find a good word to describe it i mean i almost want to say
00:16:24.960 it's schizophrenic uh maybe passive aggressive is the right term that that could be used because
00:16:31.880 you know what she said that the Catholics are the spiritual Semites so they're like the they're
00:16:40.220 the true Jews basically and this is getting at this weird contradiction at the heart of Christian
00:16:50.300 anti-Semitism that I think really needs to be laid out because you you see it everywhere even
00:16:56.220 in you know the gospels the stories about jesus he who are who are the enemies there is it the
00:17:03.020 romans not exactly actually because pontius pilate is sort of treated sympathetically you know he's
00:17:09.420 kind of ignorant and ambivalent about this like are you sure you guys want to release barabbas
00:17:14.820 and not jesus who seems like such a good guy you know like as an old tucker carlson i'm not sure
00:17:21.580 i don't know these guys are asking me to kill jesus christ i don't know yeah maybe they're
00:17:27.260 right he's like like he's the king of the jews and the pharisees all he said he was the king
00:17:32.000 of the jews it's like okay whatever i mean he's dead that's what he is he's dead he's dead um
00:17:37.240 so but so even in those stories it's like the shroud you know is ripped and so the whole the
00:17:45.180 tent of meeting in the the tabernacle where yahweh as a real being a god that you couldn't even look
00:17:52.920 upon because you would be just burned to a crisp and only moses could do it there's a real being
00:17:58.620 in there and in a way like the shroud is ripped and there's an earthquake and so in a way like
00:18:02.940 god is out in the world you know he's no longer contained in the tent of meeting or the tabernacle
00:18:10.000 the temple all of that kind of stuff it's like he's just universal i mean it's a it's a really
00:18:13.780 bold move and again and i i guess i was mentioning this before you know jesus he's he's raging against
00:18:20.840 the the uh pharisees and they're raging back and you're like yo you're a den of vipers you know
00:18:25.400 you're a father satan all this kind of stuff but the pharisees were themselves messianic jews
00:18:31.360 so like they it's just this weird contra it really is like the bolsheviks versus the mensheviks or
00:18:37.980 something, or, you know, like the second wave feminist versus the fifth wave feminist. It's
00:18:44.340 like an intramural dispute that becomes really intense. And so they're blaming the Jews for not
00:18:53.380 accepting the Jews Messiah that's prophesied in their holy books. It's a very, I don't know what
00:19:00.920 say like deeply ambivalent contradictory passive aggressive tight move that they're making and i
00:19:10.500 think it might raise the intensity of their anti-semitism because it's so much worse like
00:19:17.100 when i was growing up in dallas there actually was anti-semitism uh just among normal people
00:19:24.040 but it was never like this it was casual anti-semitism it was you know i think i you know
00:19:29.240 the old joke like how do you lose a jewish cop yeah you all okay you lose a jewish cop by taking
00:19:36.180 the toll road this is a very dallas joke i guess the toll rate pay like 75 cents to like go faster
00:19:42.060 so i i'm saying this just as sort of like i i have nostalgia for this casual anti-semitism
00:19:49.100 that i was so easy to be anti-semitic back right it's basically like jews are weird they suck at
00:19:55.720 sports like you know they're they're penny pinchers it's all this casual stuff that isn't
00:20:01.460 really i mean you can make jokes about me irish russians germans whatever it's all it's all just
00:20:09.120 sort of humorous it's not serious but this anti-semitism they're not calling the jews cheap
00:20:15.840 or something they are basically saying you rejected your own messiah which i believe in i am you i mean
00:20:24.200 I'm not sure it's like the most profoundly weird and kind of intense
00:20:30.300 psychological thing to say, I'm going to kill you because I am you.
00:20:36.080 I mean, we're getting into the realm of like death psychology.
00:20:39.620 Wow. But, but this seems to be what is animating these people.
00:20:47.240 This seems to be the antisemitism that is arising right now.
00:20:53.520 And I, and I, I think we should definitely like examine the reality of it and, uh, and, and maybe even, I mean, I can't believe I'm in a way other people can't believe I'm saying this. I can believe I'm saying this. I'm critical of it. I don't, I don't know what to say. Like, it's like, you're now all anti-Semites. You're all now anti-Semites, but like, not like this. I mean, what are you doing? This is like worse.
00:21:19.740 You know, I don't know. Mike Huckabee kind of seems rational in comparison to you people. I don't know.
