Osama bin Laden was an arch terrorist. But to an entire generation raised on the idea that success equals oppression, and failure equals being oppressed, it's not obvious at all that Osama Bin Laden was evil. In fact, he was apparently in a grieved victim with a shockingly cogent case against the West. That is according to a bevy of new videos trending on TikTok of TikTok generation Americans reading Osama bin Laden's letter to America. That letter was released in November 2002. It essentially makes the same case that radical Muslims and radical leftists now make in favor of Hamas: The West is evil and aggressive, and Westerners, including Jews, deserve what they get. It is Frantz Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Hassan Albana, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, all rolled into one. Here are some of the reactions of young people reading bin Laden s letter for the first time: 1) TikTok reactions 2) Why did bin Laden ask America why they attacked on 9/11? 3) Why are so many young people in the West siding with Hamas? 4) What are we teaching them that the West is inherently evil? 5) How would they react if they were pro-Osama Bin Laden? 6) What would they think of this? 7) Is he a good guy? 8) What does he have a point? 9) What is the point of the letter to the West? Why did he ask America to attack on September 11th, and why did they attack on it? 10) What do they do it anyway? 11) Why is he have such a point of view? And why did he attack on the West have such an idea of the West as the way they should be allowed to be good? 12) Why do they attack the United States? 13) How many people agree with him? 14) How do they think he's a good dude? 15) How does he think he was right? 16) How did he think the West deserve what he asked America to do what he wanted? 17) Why does he feel like he was given a chance to be a better human being ? And is he a better person than we should be better than we think he is? and 17 18) What s the difference between a good human being than we thought he was and a bad one?
00:00:03.000Bin Laden was an arch terrorist responsible for the murder of thousands of Americans.
00:00:07.000Unfortunately, to an entire generation raised on the idea that success equals oppression and failure equals being oppressed, it's not obvious at all that Osama Bin Laden was evil.
00:00:16.000In fact, He was apparently in a grieved victim with a shockingly cogent case against the West.
00:00:21.000That is according to a bevy of new videos trending on TikTok of TikTok generation Americans reading Osama bin Laden's letter to America.
00:00:28.000That letter was released in November 2002.
00:00:30.000It essentially makes the same case that radical Muslims and radical leftists now make in favor of Hamas.
00:00:35.000The West is evil and aggressive, and Westerners, including Jews, deserve what they get.
00:00:40.000It is Frantz Fanon, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Hassan Albana, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, all rolled into one.
00:00:45.000Here are some of the reactions of young people reading bin Laden's letter for the first time.
00:00:50.000I need everyone to stop what they're doing right now and go read.
00:01:28.000You're seeing a lot of this on TikTok.
00:01:30.000In fact, so much of this is happening on TikTok that The Guardian, the UK Guardian, which had the entire text of the letter posted, had to take it down from their website because they say that they didn't want their top trending piece to be Osama Bin Laden's 2002 letter talking about the evils of the West.
00:01:45.000Here's some more of these TikTok reactions.
00:01:47.000Best friend, I just read a letter to America.
00:01:50.000If you haven't read it yet, I think if you go on the internet, it's not there because the US government is trying to remove it because they don't want us to see the letter to America.
00:01:56.000Why don't they want us to see a letter to America?
00:01:59.000A letter to America is a letter to America written by Osama bin Laden, basically explaining why he attacked on 9-11.
00:02:47.000We have taught an entire generation of young people that Osama Bin Laden has a point.
00:02:52.000There's been a lot of talk in the aftermath of Hamas's October 7th attack about why is it that young people in the West, Americans, Members of the European community, why are so many young people siding with Hamas?
00:03:04.000And the answer, of course, is because we, as a civilization, have taught them to side with Hamas.
00:03:08.000We have taught them that the West is inherently evil or at the very least morally equivalent with terrorists on the other side of the equation.
00:03:16.000They've been taught that for years and years and years.
00:03:18.000So when they read Osama bin Laden's letter, you know, there are a lot of people who are wondering, if 9-11 happened today, how would young people react?
00:03:24.000And the answer is a lot of people would be pro-Osama bin Laden.
00:04:08.000It's their Western ideals of freedom, whatever that means.
00:04:12.000And so, it's freedom for white people.
00:04:16.000Okay, again, oppressed versus oppressor.
00:04:19.000And the more unsuccessful you are in this matrix, the more evil you are in this matrix, the more you're not evil, the more you're oppressed.
00:04:25.000Because we have to see your side of the argument.
00:04:27.000And again, you being an oppressed person, you have the ability to stand up and then destroy your oppressor.
00:04:32.000So of course, these people are pro-Hamas today.
00:04:40.000I'm not saying anything, I just want to make sure that all my facts are in order.
00:04:45.000Not saying anything, just... just want to make sure I'm correct.
00:04:48.000In a certain... shlutter to shlomerica, which was taken down after allegedly being on the Guardian website for 20 years, in which...
00:04:57.000Osama Bin Laden defends his mass killing of civilians by saying, hey, you Americans, you take such pride in your system of democracy, you pay your taxes, you elect your leaders, that's why I also hold you accountable, and that's why I killed American civilians, right?
00:05:16.000We define that as terrorism here in America.
00:05:18.000But when the same argument or a similar argument is used that it's okay that we level Gaza or allow Israel to level Gaza because they elected Hamas, mind you 20 years ago and 50% of their population is minors, and We elected a leader who didn't do everything they said they were gonna do and doesn't represent everything they said they represent.
00:05:39.000Wow, how can we as Americans possibly empathize with that?
00:05:42.000But that's a valid argument for Israel leveling Gaza, right?
00:06:24.000The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased.
00:06:26.000It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine as was promised to them in the Torah.
00:06:34.000Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-Semitism.
00:06:38.000It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses.
00:06:41.000And so, notice here that he shifts, Bin Laden does in 2002, from the argument that Palestine must be established to Israel must be disestablished and there is no Jewish right anywhere there, right?
00:06:52.000He's in favor of the destruction of the state of Israel and the murder of all the Jews.
00:06:56.000And all these people in the streets today, they agree, this is why they are chanting, from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.
00:07:03.000Bin Laden continues, under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries, which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis.
00:07:10.000These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Sharia, using violence and lies to do so.
00:07:16.000So again, Westerners, particularly Western leftists, they read that and they say, oh, well, there are a lot of tyrannies over in the Middle East.
00:07:21.000But Bin Laden is calling for the establishment of Islamic Sharia.
00:07:24.000He's calling for the establishment of an Iranian style theocracy.
00:07:29.000Does the Western Left care about that?
00:07:30.000Of course not, because again, what the Western Left holds in common with Bin Laden is a hatred for the West.
00:07:36.000Bin Laden continues, Here's that matrix.
00:07:42.000The oppressed, oppressor matrix that all of this is dependent on.
00:07:45.000Do not await anything from us but jihad, resistance, and revenge.
00:07:48.000The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their government and even to change it if they want.
00:07:53.000The American people cannot be innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and the Jews against us, which is his excuse for killing massive numbers of civilians in the World Trade Centers and at the Pentagon.
00:08:03.000That is the reason why bin Laden did that.
00:08:06.000He says, it is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind.
00:08:10.000The Jews have taken control of your economy.
00:08:12.000You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other in history.
00:08:16.000Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto Agreement.
00:08:18.000That, of course, at the time was bin Laden's attempt to cudgel the proto-Grenadinburgs of the world into line.
00:08:25.000Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people who hold sway in their political parties and fund their election campaigns with their gifts.
00:08:31.000Behind them stand the Jews who control your policies, media, and economy.
00:09:06.000Bin Laden is expressing the ideology of the current barbaric coalition dedicated to destroying the West.
00:09:10.000Which is why the current barbaric coalition dedicated to destroying the West, on stumbling on Bin Laden's writings, is finding a new hero.
00:09:16.000Why wouldn't young people love his words?
00:09:18.000They've all been taught his precepts at their universities.
00:09:21.000All of them except the part about Sharia law and killing all the gay people and not being able to have sex with whoever you want.
00:09:26.000But they can put all that aside because, you know, anti-Western solidarity is the important thing.
00:09:31.000The oppressed class must come together to destroy the oppressors.
00:09:34.000That's what's behind the TikTok trend.
00:09:36.000China, of course, is pushing it because China hates the West.
00:09:39.000And China is, of course, running TikTok.
00:09:40.000And young people are pushing it because we have trained in the West an entire generation of young people to despise their own civilization.
00:11:14.000Because God forbid something happens to you, you're walking down the street and Acme Anvil drops out of the third story and hits you like you're Bugs Bunny, except you're not Bugs Bunny and you die.
00:11:22.000You're gonna want to make sure that you had a life insurance policy in place.
00:11:25.000Policy geniuses, license agents work for you, not the insurance companies.
00:11:28.000That means you can trust their guidance because they don't have an incentive to recommend one insurer over another.
00:11:33.000Your personal information is kept private.
00:11:34.000It's super satisfying to check life insurance off your to-do list.
00:11:37.000A good life insurance plan can give you peace of mind that if something happens to you, your family will be able to cover mortgage payments, college costs, or other expenses.
00:11:43.000Life insurance through your workplace might not offer enough protection for your family's needs.
00:11:47.000It's not going to follow you if you leave your job either.
00:11:49.000Since life insurance typically gets more expensive as we age, now would be the time to buy PolicyGenius.
00:12:15.000Okay, so you can see the barbarians in the street.
00:12:16.000So last night, Massive protests outside the DNC headquarters in Washington.
00:12:22.000The goal here, of course, is for the radical left to try to push the more moderate left into mirroring their pro-Hamas position.
00:12:29.000And the way they're going to do that is by, again, playing the oppressed.
00:12:32.000Remember, in the leftist matrix, the more angry you are, the more evil you are, the more criminal things you do, the more this is evidence that you are oppressed.
00:12:51.000But because the left doesn't believe in personal responsibility at a core level, they believe that basically life is a thing that happens to you.
00:12:57.000Because of that, when they see somebody who is poor and angry, It's that the poverty is causing the anger, not that the anger is causing the poverty.
00:13:05.000And so when you have protesters in the streets who are getting violent, the left's almost immediate response very often is to say, well, those people must be angry for a reason.
00:13:13.000And the reason is because we need to make concessions to those people.
00:13:16.000That is the purpose of having these violent protests.
00:13:17.000So last night, according to the Associated Press, police and protesters clashed outside the DNC headquarters.
00:13:23.000During a demonstration for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.
00:13:26.000The latest reflection of boiling tensions over the bloody conflict.
00:13:29.000By the way, the only boiling tensions are coming from one side.
00:13:32.000And literally the day before, there was a giant 300,000 person rally on the Washington Mall.
00:13:46.000The boiling crowds are the ones in London who are assaulting police officers.
00:13:49.000The boiling crowds were the ones last night who were assaulting police officers.
00:13:53.000I'm old enough to remember when that was considered a bad thing, like on January 6th.
00:13:56.000Now, it's considered, you know, just kind of de rigueur.
00:13:59.000Scores of Democratic representatives and candidates, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, were inside the building for a campaign reception when it was interrupted by chanting outside.
00:14:08.000Protesters said they wanted to block entrances and exits to force politicians to encounter their candlelight vigil.
00:14:13.000However, the situation swiftly evolved.
00:14:15.000Capitol Police said about 150 people were illegally and violently protesting in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington.
00:14:21.000Protestors then blame police for the violence.
00:14:24.000Here is what it looked like as these crazed leftists and their radical Muslim allies
00:14:28.000decided that they were going to attack the front of the DNC building.
00:14:32.000This looks kind of insurrectionary, doesn't it?
00:14:54.000Now, if you imagine pro-Israel protesters outside the DNC calling for more support for Israel, attacking police officers, do you think that might make the front pages literally everywhere?
00:15:54.000Meanwhile, 40 groups at Columbia University have now proposed to push divestment from the state of Israel.
00:16:00.000They call themselves the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations that see Palestine as the vanguard for the collective liberation.
00:16:36.000The students at Columbia have decided to face down the quote-unquote Zionist project.
00:16:42.000According to reports from the WHO, a Palestinian child is killed every 10 minutes.
00:16:46.000These attacks are explicitly connected to Israel's attempts to annex and ethnically cleanse more Palestinian land.
00:16:51.000Again, historically ignorant and ridiculous, Israel literally pulled out of the Gaza Strip in 2005 because it didn't want anything to do with this area.
00:17:05.000All systems of oppression are interlinked.
00:17:08.000The fates of the people of Palestine, Kurdistan, Sudan, Congo, Armenia, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Korea, Guam, Haiti, Hawaii, Kashmir, Cuba, Turtle Island, and other colonized bodies are interconnected.
00:17:18.000There's some things on this list that are rather interesting.
00:17:20.000So apparently, they want Hawaii to be turned over and Korea, to whom, I assume they mean South Korea, like turn it over to the Norks?
00:17:27.000Like what exactly are they talking about there?
00:17:30.000We are committed to creating a multi-generational, intersectional, accessible space dedicated to fighting for abolition, transnational feminism, anti-capitalism, and decolonization, and also to combating anti-blackness, queer phobia, Islamophobia, and antisemitism.
00:17:42.000Now, again, rational people look at that list and they go, what the?
00:17:47.000They look at that list of demands from this Columbia anti-apartheid coalition.
00:17:51.000They go, um, I noticed that you have a few things here that conflict with one another.
00:17:56.000Like when you say queerphobia and Islamophobia back-to-back, it's weird.
00:18:00.000Because let's be real about this, radical Muslims hate gay people and try to kill them.
00:18:04.000So that's strange, but that's not the point.
00:18:19.000Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency's weaponizing of the United States' racist immigration laws to prevent our international comrades and peers from speaking up.
00:19:28.000It's why they still consider, in radical Islamic circles, the world to be divided between Dar al-Islam and Dar al-Harb, right?
00:19:33.000The idea of the world governed by Islam and the world not governed by Islam, and the idea is that eventually everything is going to come under the dominion of Islam.
00:19:41.000So when you have this group pushing against colonization, obviously there's a lot of double-think right there happening.
00:19:55.000And that's why you see this coalition building happening.
00:19:57.000In just one second, we'll talk about how far this has gone in democratic circles to the point where, obviously, they not only are quite supportive of some Hamas forces, they are perfectly willing to cover for Congress people like Rashida Tlaib, who is pretty obviously in league with Hamas supporters.
00:20:15.000We'll get to that in one second first.
00:20:16.000As a Daily Wire listener, you're not just informed, you're also engaged.
00:20:18.000You value freedom and personal responsibility, which is why you need to check out Metashare.
00:20:22.000Metashare is a community-based approach to healthcare that lines up with the principles you believe in.
00:22:00.000That's not a surprise, particularly, given the fact that according to the New York Post,
00:22:06.000Tlaib is a member of the Facebook group, Palestinian American Congress,
00:22:10.000whose founder, Mahar Abdel-Kadar, has referred to Israelis as not real Jews
00:22:15.000and questioned whether the Holocaust really happened.
00:22:17.000That Facebook group, which Talib joined six years ago, has posted several images of Hamas fighters following the terror group's brutal assault that left at least 1,200 dead across southern Israel.
00:22:26.000A member of the Palestinian American Congress posted on October 12, quote, we don't want to throw you in the sea.
00:22:31.000We want you to ride it back from where you came, sharing a picture of an elderly Israeli woman identified as a Holocaust survivor held hostage by Hamas.
00:22:38.000Another post on that same Facebook group showed a Hamas terrorist alongside a list of achievements reached by the resistance in northern occupied Palestine.
00:22:46.000Tlaib, of course, fully in league with all of this.
00:22:52.000The Hamas caucus rides fully within the Democratic Party at this point.
00:22:56.000Yesterday, she tweeted out the Jew money shtick again.
00:23:00.000AIPAC has said that they are going to dedicate a lot of money to getting rid of Congress people
00:23:05.000who are aligned with Hamas. And she thinks that that's truly just a reflection of bad Jew money.
00:23:12.000Well, criticism of the Israeli government is virtually non-existent in US politics,
00:23:15.000but apparently that's not enough. Gotta spend $100 million to unseat the few who believe in
00:23:18.000Palestinian human rights and a ceasefire that most Americans already support. The acceptable
00:23:22.000level of dissent is zero. Well, that's weird because I see that AIPAC is actually not launching
00:23:26.000primary challenges against the vast majority of Democrats, like virtually all Democrats.
00:23:32.000They're only targeting the people who actually are members of the Hamas squad.
00:23:34.000But again, the idea is it's that corrupt Jew money that AOC is really upset about.
00:23:39.000Speaking of which, 24 members of the Hamas caucus have now signed a letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken expressing deep concern about the intensifying war in Gaza and calling for a ceasefire.
00:23:51.000They then commit the moral sin of equivalence between Hamas and the Israeli Defense Forces.
00:23:58.000That, of course, is signed by all the usual suspects, all the people who you would see.
00:24:04.000The British Labor Party, experiencing similar convulsions.
00:24:07.000Kira Starmer is suffering a major labor rebellion in Britain over a Gaza ceasefire vote.
00:24:13.00056 of his MPs voted for an immediate ceasefire.
00:24:16.00010 of the party's frontbenchers, those are people who are sort of spokespeople for labor, have left their jobs over the vote, including eight shadow ministers.
00:24:24.000So, and the left is tearing itself apart over all of this because again, the left has no systemic immunity at all to the Osama Bin Laden intersectional crusade.
00:24:33.000They have no immunity to that because they too believe that the West is so inherently flawed that it must pay a deep and abiding price.
00:24:39.000And so that battle is just going to get more and more pitched.
00:24:43.000It is stunning to watch it play out in real time, but again, this is the wages of a West that is apologetic about its own existence for decades on end.
00:24:52.000Now, meanwhile, the media are targeting where they think the anti-Semitism is.
00:24:56.000The media have been very, very generous toward Hamas and its acolytes.
00:24:59.000The media have been granting every ounce of credibility they can to the Gazan Ministry of Health.
00:25:05.000They've been granting every piece of credibility they can to every lie coming out from Hamas.
00:25:10.000They've been stamping for a ceasefire and claiming that Israel is committing war crimes in defiance of all facts on the ground.
00:25:38.000Everybody clutching at their pearls is tiresome.
00:25:41.000As I've said many times before, Donald Trump's epitaph may end up reading, Donald Trump, 45th president of the United States, he said a lot of stuff.
00:25:50.000But in any case, here is what he actually said that set the internet ablaze.
00:25:56.000The great silent majority is rising like never before.
00:26:00.000And under our leadership, the forgotten man and woman will be forgotten no longer.
00:26:06.000You're going to be forgotten no longer.
00:26:07.000With your help, your love, and your vote, we will put America first.
00:26:12.000And today, especially, in honor of our great veterans on Veterans Day, we pledge to you that we will root out The communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country, that lie and steal and cheat on elections and will do anything possible, they'll do anything, whether legally or illegally, to destroy America and to destroy the American dream.
00:26:46.000Now, he's reading from a teleprompter there.
00:26:48.000I mean, that is actually part of the speech.
00:26:50.000And it's not the best use of language.
00:26:51.000The use of language like vermin, it's, you know, redolent of bad things.
00:28:28.000Many of the same members of the media tone-policing Trump as Hitler have been simultaneously pooh-poohing the actual Nazis of today, Hamas, and their supporters.
00:28:36.000You got Mehdi Hassan and the rest of the hosts at MSNBC who seem to have made it their life's mission to downplay Hamas' evil in order to establish moral equivalence with the Jewish state.
00:28:44.000And they are the first on the bandwagon to sniff out Hitlerian references.
00:28:48.000Except for the people who actually love Hitler, of course.
00:28:51.000The people who actually love Hitler, well, they just have some legitimate grievances.
00:28:54.000Some of the same dynamic has been striking Elon Musk over the course of the last 24 hours.
00:28:57.000So, Musk made a rather large Twitter boo-boo last night.
00:29:00.000somebody on Twitter posted the following message, quote, Jewish communities have been pushing the exact kind of
00:29:05.000dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them. I'm
00:29:09.000deeply disinterested in giving the tiniest bleep now about Western Jewish populations coming
00:29:13.000to the disturbing realization that those hordes of minorities that support flooding their country
00:29:39.000There are certain Jewish groups that are liberal in orientation who have supported that sort of stuff.
00:29:43.000Many of those groups have also pushed for open borders.
00:29:46.000It is also true that some of those organizations are now realizing post-October 7th that actually open immigration for people who hate Jews on an intersectional basis was pretty stupid.
00:29:56.000The problem with the original tweet is that it labels Jewish communities en masse.
00:30:00.000So my community, for example, Pretty Jewish, has always opposed DEI and open borders.
00:30:05.000In fact, most Orthodox communities do.
00:30:08.000Presumably then, Musk was reading the term Jewish communities and instead seeing the letters ADL.
00:30:14.000And indeed, that's exactly what Musk then clarified.
00:30:16.000He said, quote, the ADL unjustly attacks the majority of the West, despite the majority
00:30:20.000of West supporting the Jewish people in Israel.
00:30:21.000This is because they cannot, by their own tenets, criticize the minority groups who
00:30:34.000That's a much more specific point and it's certainly true.
00:30:37.000There are a lot of liberal Jewish organizations that supported a lot of the same policies that have now imported a lot of people who really hate Jews and Westerners into the West.
00:30:48.000And a lot of the very same people who are pushing DEI intersectional politics are now realizing the wages of that.
00:30:56.000The original tweet was wildly overbroad.
00:30:59.000But a huge number of people in the media decided now was the time to link Musk and the alt-right and the so-called Jewish question and support the notion that Musk is some sort of crypto-Nazi.
00:31:09.000Now, it's not a coincidence again that a lot of the people doing just that are happily calling for Israel to cease fire in its war with Hamas.
00:31:15.000See, very often anti-Semitism becomes a political football.
00:31:18.000When you can hang the label on Donald Trump or Elon Musk and you're on the left, you do it.
00:31:22.000However, when you're forced to denounce pro-Hamas protesters shouting, from the river to the sea, Palestine must be free, suddenly you get a little shy.
00:31:29.000Thus, the same media, leaping on both Trump and Musk, has been downplaying the open Jew hatred and massive pro-Hamas protests around the globe, instead propagating lies about Israel's supposed human rights violations.
00:31:39.000Instead, they're focusing in on their political enemies, like Trump and Musk, and deeming them the acolytes of Hitler.
00:31:44.000Meanwhile, the actual Hitler acolytes who are out there waving Mein Kampf, they're like, those people, I mean, they are a Preston Brown.
00:31:50.000It might have more bite to hit Trump and Musk for supposed anti-Semitism if these people actually spent some actual time talking about the people who actually like Hitler on planet Earth, who are right now holding some 240 Jews and others hostage in Gaza and killed 1,200 people and have subjected the Gaza Strip to complete hellish tyranny for the last 20 years.
00:32:09.000But a lot of these same people are totally silent.
00:32:11.000In one second, we'll talk about their silence because their silence is absolutely deafening.
00:32:15.000First, Not easy to get sleep these days.
00:32:18.000It's been a pretty rough time for a lot of people.
00:32:21.000But, when I have been getting sleep, it is almost solely due to my Helix Sleep Mattress.
00:32:24.000I've had my Helix Sleep Mattress for years and years at this point.
00:32:29.000It was personalized for me, which is why it is so good.
00:32:32.000It can be personalized for you as well.
00:32:33.000Helix has a new high-end collection, the Helix Elite.
00:32:36.000Helix Elite harnesses years of extensive mattress expertise to offer a truly elevated sleep experience.
00:32:41.000The Helix Elite collection includes six different mattress models, each tailored for specific sleep positions and firmness preferences.
00:32:46.000Head on over to HelixSleep.com to check out the new collection today.
00:32:49.000If you're nervous about buying a mattress online when you don't have to be, Helix has a sleep quiz that matches your body type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress.
00:32:55.000Because why would you buy a mattress made for somebody else?
00:35:04.000Have we seen any, any of these same celebrities holding up bring back our baby signs for Americans being held hostage in Gaza, like actual Americans?
00:35:14.000And for all the talk of people about America first and this and that, I'd just like to point out, there are currently dozens of Americans being held hostage by Hamas right now.
00:35:23.000But we have seen members of the media, like Gayle King, lecture a Jewish father whose eight-year-old daughter is currently being held by Hamas.
00:36:10.000The media are literally trying to push a man whose daughter is being held hostage by a terrorist group into saying that Israel is doing the wrong thing by going after the terrorist group.
00:36:19.000Not seeing that sign from Gayle King right there.
00:36:27.000Anyone who's spending their days going after Donald Trump and Elon Musk for anti-Semitism while leaving Hamas untouched is pretty obviously concerned about something very different from Jew hatred.
00:36:47.000So Joe Biden just greenlit $10 billion being handed over to Iran.
00:36:53.000Late on Tuesday, the Secretary of State sent to Congress a recommendation for a 120-day waiver allowing the Iraqi government to transfer $10 billion in frozen funds to the Ayatollahs in Iran.
00:37:02.000The capital is earmarked as payments for Iranian electricity, but is being held in an escrow account.
00:37:07.000The administration says the waiver was necessary to preserve Iraq's electricity supplies, but that means that they're just going to use all that money for terrorism because that is what they are doing.
00:37:15.000So the United States has been under attack from terrorist militia groups throughout the Middle East.
00:37:21.000On 56 occasions, US positions in Iraq and Syria are now under attack from the Iranians.
00:37:26.00059 US service personnel have been injured in those strikes.
00:37:29.000And Joe Biden is signing waivers to transfer billions of dollars to the Iranian government.
00:37:34.000Even as the Iranian government is weak, the Iranian government has been tremendously weakened.
00:37:37.000There was a report yesterday out of Iran International English that actually the Iran Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, one of the Ayatollahs, he delivered a clear message to Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
00:37:49.000He said, we weren't warned about your attack and we love you and you're our best friends, but high five as you drown.
00:37:58.000I mean, as I've suggested since the beginning of the war, the most plausible explanation for what actually happened is that Iran greenlit an attack from Hamas in an attempt to scuttle the Saudi peace plan that was being put on the table between Israel and Saudi Arabia, brokered by the Biden administration.
00:38:13.000So they said to Hamas, do an attack, kill a bunch of Jews, hope that Israel goes in strong, and that will scuttle the deal.
00:38:18.000But what they didn't count on is Hamas being successful enough to kill 1,200 people and take 240 hostages, necessitating the complete obliteration of Hamas.
00:38:25.000They just figured Hamas would live to fight another day.
00:38:28.000Hamas would continue to maintain its power in the Gaza Strip.
00:38:31.000So instead of Iran gaining the death of the Saudi peace plan, they got that, but they also lost one of their biggest pawns on the board in Hamas.
00:38:40.000And then the question became, do they wish to lose other pieces on the chessboard?
00:38:43.000Because the unspoken reality of this current Middle East conflict is that the actual serious threat to Israel is actually not Hamas in the Gaza Strip right now.
00:38:51.000It is Hezbollah on Israel's northern border, which has 200,000 rockets pointed at Israel, including 50,000 highly sophisticated rockets capable of geo-targeting, which means can hit towers in Tel Aviv.
00:39:01.000Not the dumb rockets that are being fired by Hamas.
00:39:03.000Smart rockets that are being fired from southern Lebanon into Israel.
00:39:07.000So as we've seen, deterrence doesn't really tend to deter terrorist groups when push comes to shove.
00:39:12.000And so Israel at some point is going to have to go after Hezbollah.
00:39:15.000The question is whether they're going to do it right now.
00:39:17.000Iran doesn't want them to do it right now because if Israel were to swivel and hit Hezbollah right now and take them off the table, That's a real problem for Iran. The forward operating base
00:39:25.000against Israel for Iran was Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north. Hamas has
00:39:30.000been taken off the table. If Israel takes Hezbollah off the table, Iran that has no projective
00:39:35.000capability in terms of actually being able to destroy Israel, they can certainly make trouble on
00:39:39.000the northern border. They can certainly create problems in Judea and Samaria, the so-called West
00:40:07.000Meanwhile, Israel has been taking over the Al-Shifa Hospital.
00:40:12.000Again, it is truly incredible to me, truly incredible, that the United States, the rest of the world, continue to put pressure on Israel with regard to human rights when Israel is literally sending in Arabic speakers and medical workers into a hospital run by Hamas and being used as a base of attacks against soldiers for the IDF?
00:40:28.000And then the question is whether Israel is being humane enough.
00:40:31.000There has never been an army that has been forced to do anything remotely like this.
00:40:34.000The United States, when it came to ISIL, bombed hospitals.
00:41:42.000And all of this was hidden very conveniently, secretly, behind the MRI machine.
00:41:50.000Well, I mean, obviously this is a medical facility.
00:41:52.000I mean, why would Israel possibly be going into a medical facility?
00:41:55.000I mean, obviously not a medical facility, but that's the entire idea here.
00:41:59.000So the media, which are focused, again, on creating moral equivalence between a group that is literally using its own blood, resources, soldiers' lives in order to protect civilians on the other side of the conflict, many of whom were involved in the actual October 7th attacks.
00:42:14.000They're trying to create more eloquence between those people and the people who hide AK-47s in MRI rooms.
00:42:18.000That's what the media have been dedicated full-time to doing.
00:42:21.000And meanwhile, they are targeting Laserbeam, the anti-Semitism of anyone they perceive as a supposed right-winger.
00:42:29.000This is their shtick, and it's really obvious, and it's really quite pathetic.
00:42:33.000Okay, meanwhile, Joe Biden is meeting with Xi Jinping.
00:42:38.000What Joe Biden hopes to get out of this is beyond me.
00:42:39.000I'm not sure what his actual agenda even is.
00:43:42.000It is indeed the smartest way to hire.
00:43:44.000Well, meanwhile, Joe Biden is meeting with Xi Jinping, and, um, totally unclear exactly what Biden is even hoping to get out of this, other than a grip and grin with the Chinese president.
00:43:55.000The Chinese president, of course, who's a dictator, is hoping to get concessions out of Joe Biden on things like trade, and presumably on military matters as well.
00:44:04.000Well, Joe Biden really didn't know his message to China.
00:44:06.000He was asked what exactly was the message he was trying to convey to China yesterday.
00:44:09.000He just walked away from the question.
00:44:13.000President Biden, what's your message to China today?
00:45:11.000So yeah, China involved in the AI discussion, not super hot on that.
00:45:15.000The outcome is likely to face pressure in coming months with disagreements over an election in Taiwan and the Chinese Navy's harassment of ships from the Philippines, a US ally.
00:45:23.000US and China have differed sharply over the Israel-Hamas war.
00:45:26.000Biden also faces political risk at home from Republican politicians who argue he's going easy on Beijing.
00:45:30.000Here's the thing, there actually is a pretty wide bipartisan consensus that China is the bad guy.
00:46:05.000Except that when the United States shows weakness, China tends to pick up the baton and go.
00:46:10.000I'm old enough to remember when Hong Kong was not a Chinese-occupied territory.
00:46:14.000I'm old enough to remember when Hong Kong still had a level of independence, and now it's completely run by China, and the West just completely surrendered the thing.
00:46:20.000The Xinhua account, which is the official Chinese media, quoted Xi as saying, That is a lie.
00:46:24.000quote, China has no plans to surpass or replace the United States and the United States should
00:46:27.000not have any plans to suppress and contain China.
00:46:31.000China does have plans to surpass or replace the United States, obviously.
00:46:34.000And that's particularly true when it comes to international relations.
00:46:38.000The senior administration official said the leaders had a substantial exchange about Taiwan
00:46:42.000and that Biden had responded by saying the longstanding U.S.
00:46:45.000position is a determination to maintain peace and stability.
00:46:48.000Biden urged Beijing to respect the electoral process in Taiwan.
00:46:52.000Xi appeared to push back at the White House's view that relations with China are defined by competition, saying that he rejects the idea of a major country competition.
00:47:30.000OK, meanwhile, The Republican Party continues to be a party in disarray.
00:47:37.000Politico has a piece today all about the House GOP and how Mac Johnson, the new Speaker of the House, avoided a shutdown.
00:47:44.000He avoided a shutdown by putting into law a continuing resolution that basically is a continuation of what McCarthy would have done.
00:47:52.000And many members of the House GOP are like, we don't even know what the hell is going on, and that is correct.
00:47:56.000No one knows what the hell is going on, because you have no sense of solidity or incentive structure, as we discussed yesterday on the program.
00:48:02.000According to Politico, Republicans cannot agree on basic policy priorities or even fund the government without a majority of Democratic votes.
00:48:08.000Individual lawmakers are going rogue on the House floor with theatrical efforts to censure colleagues and impeach members of the Biden administration.
00:48:14.000A growing number of lawmakers are choosing to retire because they feel it's impossible to get anything done.
00:48:38.000We would not leave town without forcing Chuck Schumer and Joe Biden to the table because Republicans control this chamber.
00:48:45.000Or at least they say they're Republicans.
00:48:50.000For the life of me, I do not understand how you can go to the trouble of campaigning, raising money, going to events, talking to people, coming to this town as a member of a party who allegedly stands for something.
00:49:06.000Allegedly stands for reducing spending.
00:49:09.000Allegedly stands for eliminating debt.
00:49:36.000Anybody sitting in the complex, if you want to come down to the floor and come explain to me one material, meaningful, significant thing the Republican majority has done besides, well, I guess it's not as bad as the Democrats.
00:49:52.000I mean, he's right about that, obviously.
00:49:54.000But, that's the nature of the game right now.
00:49:57.000The Republican Party has a lot of independent agents, and those independent agents are not working together to actually craft anything that remotely resembles solutions.
00:50:31.000Alrighty, coming up, we'll jump into a bombshell exclusive from The Daily Wire regarding a leaked NSA document that shows just how woke they've gone.
