00:00:00.000 On Thursday, Madison Square Garden company boss James Dolan announced that the Radio City Rockettes had agreed to perform at the Trump inauguration.

00:00:07.000 And a bunch of the Rockettes sort of went off their rockers.

00:00:10.000 One Rockette wrote, quote, I usually don't use social media to make a political stand, but I feel overwhelmed with emotion.

00:00:16.000 Finding out that it has been decided for us that Rockettes will be performing at the presidential inauguration makes me feel embarrassed and disappointed.

00:00:23.000 The women I work with are intelligent, are full of love, and the decision of performing for a man that stands for everything we're against is appalling.

00:00:30.000 I am speaking for just myself, but please know, after we found out this news, we have been performing with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts, which makes this show really crappy.

00:00:38.000 We will not be forced.

00:00:39.000 Hashtag not my president.

00:00:40.000 George Takei, who's an ardent Trump opponent, and Sulu, of course, from the old Star Trek, he tweeted in their support,

00:00:46.000 And here's what he tweeted, the members of the Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle are like all of us, forced to go along with something horrible they didn't choose.

00:00:53.000 I mean like half the country did actually choose Trump and actually pretty much everybody chose to live here and it's a peaceful transition of power that happens every four years, but you know.

00:01:03.000 Meanwhile, Anthony Bourdain has announced he won't eat at any restaurant hosted at Trump Tower.

00:01:07.000 Fashion icon Andre Leon Talley has said he won't dress Melania Trump anymore.

00:01:12.000 Artists whose products hang in Ivanka Trump's apartment have asked her to remove their art.

00:01:16.000 They have not asked for her to give back the money.

00:01:19.000 Suddenly, it seems, the left has discovered freedom of association.

00:01:23.000 After years of telling religious people they had a moral and legal obligation to throw out their religion and service same-sex weddings and provide contraception and fund abortion, now the left realizes the ability to pick and choose those to whom you give your services is actually kind of important.

00:01:37.000 I don't expect it to last.

00:01:39.000 Of course, artists should be able to turn down clients.

00:01:42.000 So should religious bakers. 0.85

00:01:43.000 But you won't see the left acknowledge that.

00:01:45.000 The only freedom to turn down clients is the freedom for leftists to turn down conservative and religious clients, not the other way around.

00:01:51.000 I'm Ben Shapiro.

00:01:52.000 This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

00:01:58.000 All right, tons to get to here today on the very last Ben Shapiro Show broadcast of the year.

00:02:02.000 And then we're on a long break, actually, because we're out next week for Christmas, because you Christians, and then we're out the following week because of me, because I'm going on vacation with my wife. 0.89

00:02:11.000 So it's going to be a long break.

00:02:13.000 So enjoy this one.

00:02:13.000 Savor every last delicious morsel of knowledge and information, of humor and insight that comes to you, courtesy of this right here, this big brain.

00:02:22.000 But first, you have to say hello to our advertisers over at Ring.com.

00:02:26.000 If you are concerned about burglary, I know I am actually.

00:02:29.000 My wife is kind of paranoid about burglary. 1.00

00:02:31.000 We've had some security issues in the past.

00:02:33.000 Ring.com makes sure that you don't have a lot of these security problems anymore, because most burglaries are not just somebody breaking into your house.

00:02:40.000 They usually happen when somebody rings the doorbell, and then they realize nobody's home, and then they break into your house.

00:02:44.000 Well, the Ring.com system, it has a camera on it, they ring the doorbell, and you can pick up and say that you're at home no matter where you are.

00:02:51.000 You can see who's there without actually being at home.

00:02:56.000 Fantastic system, one of our advertisers, on whom I actually spend my own money for additional product.

00:03:01.000 They have this ring of security kit they're selling now.

00:03:03.000 It's a ring video doorbell for the front door, a ring stick-up cam, a wireless weatherproof HD camera, and that keeps an eye on other parts of your property.

00:03:11.000 And you can install these things in minutes.

00:03:12.000 They are very easy to install.

00:03:14.000 I've done it myself.

00:03:15.000 And again, we use it

00:03:16.000 Okay, so the big news today, the big news today is that Barack Obama ain't like them Jews. 1.00

00:03:40.000 I don't think so.

00:03:59.000 Obama has revived an originally Egypt-pushed U.N.

00:04:03.000 resolution that was designed to undercut Israel's claims to really exist in the Middle East.

00:04:09.000 This U.N.

00:04:10.000 resolution is now about to be voted on at the U.N.

00:04:13.000 Security Council, and Barack Obama is the guy who decided to bring it to fruition because he signaled to everybody that the United States would abstain.

00:04:21.000 Now, the United States has always had Israel's back at the U.N. 0.85

00:04:23.000 Security Council, even during some of the

00:04:27.000 Even during some of the early Obama years.

00:04:29.000 But they no longer do, and it's been clear for a while that Obama despises Israel and sees Israel as a moral and as a foreign policy threat, a regional threat to peace in the Middle East.

00:04:40.000 He's constantly been putting pressure on Israel.

00:04:42.000 So this UN resolution draft, and I want to go through it because I think that it's important to actually know what people are talking about.

00:04:49.000 This draft that's being circulated, Obama has basically said they're going to abstain

00:04:53.000 And it's very clear that they are interested in slapping Israel as they leave. 0.93

00:04:59.000 That's the goal here is to slap Israel as hard as they can before they leave because Trump by all indicators is going to be very pro-Israel

00:05:08.000 We're good.

00:05:30.000 The Security Council reaffirms that the establishment by Israel of settlements in the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem, has no legal validity and constitutes a flagrant violation under international law and a major obstacle to the achievement of the two-state solution and a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace, reiterates their demand that Israel immediately completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and that it fully respects all of its legal obligations in this regard.

00:06:00.000 Underlines it will not recognize any changes to the June 4th, 1967 lines, including with regard to Jerusalem, other than those agreed by the parties through negotiation.

00:06:09.000 So, in other words, what they are saying here, I mean this is really quite disgusting, what they're saying here is that Israel has no claim in East Jerusalem.

00:06:17.000 That's what they're saying.

00:06:18.000 Okay, East Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

00:06:20.000 East and West Jerusalem is one unified city, the holiest spot in Judaism, which predates Islam by a solid 1,500 years.

00:06:26.000 The only reason that Muslims care about 1.00

00:06:28.000 Jerusalem is because the Jews did first. 1.00

00:06:30.000 The only reason Christians care about Jerusalem is because the Jews did first. 1.00

00:06:33.000 The Jews were there first. 1.00

00:06:34.000 It is the center of Jewish life.

00:06:35.000 It is the center of Jewish thought.

00:06:37.000 It is the center of Zionism. 0.98

00:06:38.000 It has long been the dream, for 3,000 years it's been the dream, to have a Jewish capital in Jerusalem.

00:06:44.000 That dream was fulfilled in 1967 after Arabs attacked Israel and Israel responded. 1.00

00:06:50.000 All of this resolution is false.

00:06:51.000 So, for example, they say that these are settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.

00:06:57.000 There was no such thing as Palestinian territory in 1967.

00:07:02.000 You know why?

00:07:02.000 Because Jordan was in charge of Jerusalem.

00:07:05.000 Egypt was in charge of the Gaza Strip.

00:07:08.000 There was no Palestinian government.

00:07:09.000 There was no Palestinian people.

00:07:11.000 All of this was a fiction that was created in the aftermath of 1948.

00:07:14.000 The Palestine Liberation Organization was created to destroy Israel between 1948 and 1967.

00:07:20.000 Not to liberate East Jerusalem, but to liberate Tel Aviv, right? 0.90

00:07:24.000 To destroy Tel Aviv.

00:07:25.000 That's why they were calling for the liberation of Israel before Israel had any control over East Jerusalem whatsoever.

00:07:31.000 These are not Israeli settlements in Palestinian territories.

00:07:34.000 This is Israeli building in territories that are disputed.

00:07:38.000 And those disputed territories, by the way, Jordan doesn't claim ownership of those territories.

00:07:42.000 Israel took those territories, annexed them.

00:07:45.000 Jordan renounced all claim to those territories in 1988.

00:07:48.000 And the Palestinians had no claim to those territories before 1967, so the language here doesn't even make any sense.

00:07:54.000 Plus, it is always a great irony of history that the Arabs over and over and over rejected Israeli peace deals, rejected UN partition plans, and then claimed that those lines should be the final partition plan lines, even after they rejected them, launch war against Israel and lose. 0.53

00:08:09.000 That's not the way international relations works.

00:08:12.000 Beyond that, the idea that Jews building an extra bathroom in East Jerusalem is a threat to peace ignores the fact that the goal of the Palestinian government, which is a unity government between the terrorist group Hamas, the terrorist group Islamic Jihad, and the terrorist group the Palestinian Authority, that tripartite unity terrorist government, their goal forever has been the outright genocide of Jews in the state of Israel. 0.93

00:08:33.000 It's amazing to me that everybody always talks about how nasty the Jews are to the Israeli Arabs. 0.92

00:08:37.000 By the way, polls show Israeli Arabs don't want to leave. 0.91

00:08:39.000 There's a reason they're not moving to Palestinian territories.

00:08:42.000 But what's amazing is the focus on how Jews treat Arabs in Israel. 0.91

00:08:47.000 How many Jews live in the Palestinian territories, like the ones that the Palestinians actually administer and control?

00:08:53.000 Zero. 0.97

00:08:55.000 Right, the fact is that the Palestinians would murder Jews who lived there. 0.99

00:08:58.000 In fact, after the Jews pulled out of the Gaza Strip and they left all their nice greenhouses and their nice homes, the Palestinians immediately came in and burned them. 0.97

00:09:05.000 So what actually the UN is calling for here is to make all of these areas where Jews live, and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of Jews, making them Judenrein, ethnically cleansing the Jews there, pushing them out, killing them if they stay. 0.99

00:09:16.000 That's what the UN is talking about here. 0.87

00:09:18.000 And Barack Obama's going right along with this, because Barack Obama sees Israel as the great threat.

00:09:22.000 He has for his entire presidency.

00:09:25.000 He has for his entire presidency.

00:09:26.000 Here's a brief history of Barack Obama on Israel and his administration.

00:09:30.000 And I would remind everybody that some of the commentators that the left likes to quote, people like Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic.

00:09:36.000 Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic was

00:09:39.000 ...was openly acknowledged inside the Obama White House as a show for President Obama.

00:09:43.000 In 2008, Jeffrey Goldberg actually wrote, before Obama was elected, that any Jew who had concerns about Obama being anti-Jewish and anti-Israel was a racist.

00:09:53.000 That guy is a respected voice on the international left and in America as well.

00:09:58.000 By the way, quick side note here, Chuck Schumer has come out and he's condemned this resolution.

00:10:02.000 He says that Obama should veto it.

00:10:04.000 This is the same game that Chuck Schumer always plays.

00:10:06.000 Chuck Schumer is both Jewish and has a lot of Jewish constituents in New York.

00:10:10.000 He's afraid of ticking them off, but he's playing good cop to Obama's bad cop.

00:10:13.000 He's not going to do anything.

00:10:15.000 What's he going to do?

00:10:15.000 He's not going to join any resolution to remove funding from the UN Human Rights Commission or from the UN Security Council.

00:10:21.000 But here's a brief history.

00:10:22.000 For those who don't believe that Obama has anti-Israel animus, and there are people on the left who actually believe this because they are willfully blinding themselves.

00:10:30.000 BuzzFeed's Ben Smith came out today and he says, Israel is really taking an openly anti-Obama line.

00:10:36.000 Where the hell have you been for the last eight years, dude?

00:10:39.000 Where have you been?

00:10:41.000 We'll go through the history in a second.

00:10:42.000 Israel, by the way, has condemned this, and they say directly, Obama and Kerry are behind this shameful move against Israel at the U.N.

00:10:48.000 The U.S.

00:10:48.000 administration secretly cooked up with the Palestinians an extreme anti-Israel resolution behind Israel's back, which would be a tailwind for terror and boycotts, and effectively make the Western Wall occupied Palestinian territory.

00:11:00.000 Which is true.

00:11:01.000 Remember the Western Wall.

00:11:02.000 Which, it's always funny, people always say that's the holiest site in Judaism.

00:11:05.000 It isn't.

00:11:06.000 The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism.

00:11:08.000 The part that the Islamic Waqf prevents Jews from standing on, that's the part that's the holiest site. 1.00

00:11:13.000 The Western Wall is just the outer border of that.

00:11:16.000 But in any case, the fact is that you have Senator Schumer urging this to be rejected,

00:11:22.000 And he issued a strong statement saying whatever anyone's views are on settlement, anyone who cares about the future of Israel and peace in the region knows the UN with its one-sidedness is exactly the wrong form to bring about peace.

00:11:33.000 Yeah, what's he gonna do about it?

00:11:35.000 But here is a brief history of Obama on Israel.

00:11:37.000 February 2008, Obama rips the Likud party even though Likud isn't in power.

00:11:41.000 June 2008, Obama says that Jerusalem should be unified Jewish territory in Israel.

00:11:47.000 He says that at AIPAC and then, within 24 hours, reverses himself and says that it shouldn't remain undivided.

00:11:52.000 March 2009, now Obama's president.

00:11:54.000 The Obama administration rejoins the anti-Semitic, anti-Jew UN Human Rights Council, while, by the way, fully acknowledging its anti-Semitism.

00:12:02.000 They say, sure, the UN Human Rights Council is anti-Semitic, but, you know, no biggie.

00:12:06.000 May 2009, Obama tells Netanyahu, Prime Minister Netanyahu, settlements have to be stopped in order for us to move forward with a peace deal.

00:12:13.000 Netanyahu immediately announces a freeze on settlements.

00:12:15.000 Obama rips Israel anyway.

00:12:17.000 June 2009.

00:12:18.000 Obama goes to Cairo, says that Israel was only founded because of the Holocaust, and then says that Palestinian treatment at the hands of Jews is sort of like the Holocaust.

00:12:26.000 July 2009.

00:12:27.000 Obama threatens openly to put daylight between the United States and Israel.

00:12:30.000 September 2009.

00:12:32.000 Obama says America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements, as though the United States really has a role to play here.

00:12:39.000 March 2010.

00:12:40.000 VP Joe Biden visits Israel, rips Netanyahu again, not just for settlements, but for what we call natural growth in the settlements, which means that you want to build an extra bedroom because you had an additional kid.

00:12:52.000 Vice President Joe Biden didn't want Israel to be able to do that.

00:12:55.000 Hillary apparently calls up Netanyahu, she's then Secretary of State, she calls up Netanyahu and screams at him for an hour on the phone. 0.95

00:13:01.000 Later that month when Netanyahu visits the White House, Obama forces him to leave through a side entrance.

00:13:06.000 June 2010, a U.S.

00:13:08.000 defense source leaks and kills Israel's plans to work with the Saudis to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities.

00:13:13.000 May 2011, the State Department labels Jerusalem not a part of Israel.

00:13:18.000 My niece, who was born in Jerusalem, currently her passport just says Jerusalem.

00:13:22.000 They refuse to put Israel on it, even though Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish people.

00:13:26.000 And again, the only reason anyone gives a rip about Jerusalem is because of the Jews. 0.99

00:13:32.000 November 2011, Nicolas Sarkozy's caught on a hot mic, telling Obama, quote, about Netanyahu, I can't stand him, he's a liar. 0.97

00:13:39.000 And Obama says, you're tired of him? 0.67

00:13:40.000 What about me?

00:13:40.000 I have to deal with him every day.

00:13:42.000 December 2011, Israel compares Israel to Iran.

00:13:45.000 Hillary compares Israel to Iran.

00:13:47.000 February 2012, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta kills a potential Israeli strike on Iran by talking about it openly with the Washington Post.

00:13:55.000 March 2012, the Obama administration leaks plans for Israel to work with Azerbaijan to strike the Iranian nuclear facilities, killing the deal.

00:14:03.000 June 2012, the Obama administration leaks that Israel was behind the Stuxnet virus, which was designed to kill Iran's nuclear program.

00:14:11.000 December 2012, Hillary Clinton says Israel has a lack of empathy for Palestinians and calls them an oppressed people.

00:14:18.000 March 2013, Obama, are you getting a message here?

00:14:23.000 Maybe Obama isn't fond of the Jewish state?

00:14:25.000 Are you getting that?

00:14:26.000 March 2013, Obama forces Benjamin Netanyahu to call the Islamist Turkish dictator Tayyip Recep Erdogan to apologize for stopping a terrorist flotilla from entering the Gaza Strip and helping out Hamas.

00:14:38.000 June 2013, the Obama administration leaked specific information regarding Israeli Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile sites.

00:14:45.000 That information had been classified.

00:14:47.000 Obama had to apologize and blame it on low-level staffers.

00:14:50.000 June 2014,

00:14:51.000 Three Jewish teens are kidnapped, including an American, and they are murdered by Hamas.

00:14:56.000 The Obama administration calls on Israel for restraint and says it will continue to fund the Palestinian terrorist unity government, including Hamas.

00:15:03.000 August 2014, Obama personally steps in and attempts to block shipments from the Pentagon of weapons to Israel.

00:15:10.000 October 2014, Jeffrey Goldberg releases an article quoting Obama officials calling Prime Minister Netanyahu a chicken bleep.

00:15:18.000 January 15th, 2015.

00:15:22.000 Obama deploys his campaign team to defeat Netanyahu in Israel and finally, of course, Obama attempts to sign this Iranian nuclear deal which endangers Israel's very existence.

00:15:31.000 So yes, this has been a long time coming.

00:15:34.000 Of course Obama on his way out slaps Israel because he sees Israel as a Western imperialist outpost in historically Muslim lands.

00:15:42.000 I don't know.

00:16:03.000 It's disgusting on every level, and I have to make a statement about the timing here.

00:16:07.000 The good news, I have to say, God has a sense of humor, so Obama, of course, sponsors this thing and pushes this thing right on the verge of Hanukkah. 0.73

00:16:15.000 Hanukkah, for those who don't know the story of Hanukkah, the story of Hanukkah is about Antiochus, who is a Greek king.

00:16:21.000 And he had installed as the head of the temple one of his emissaries who proceeded to basically strip all of the vestments from the temple and ship them out, who proceeded to tax the Jews pretty harshly and also ban all religious practice.

00:16:35.000 The Jews led a rebellion against Antiochus in order to take back the temple and in order to restore Judaism to Jerusalem.

00:16:43.000 The day before we celebrate, we have modern day Antiochuses in the UN attempting to strip Jewish sovereignty from Jerusalem, strip it of its religious character, pretend that it has nothing to do with Judaism, and guess what? 0.79

00:16:55.000 This time the Maccabees are in charge, folks. 0.99

00:16:58.000 The Jews are not giving up Jerusalem, the Israelis are not giving up Jerusalem, and no matter what a bunch of pathetic, disgusting dictatorships... I mean, it's Senegal and Venezuela sponsoring this thing. 0.99

00:17:07.000 Venezuela, they're literally shooting dogs in the streets to eat them because it is a socialist dictatorship.

00:17:12.000 And Senegal, right now, is threatening openly to invade its neighbor. 0.66

00:17:16.000 Does the U.N.

00:17:16.000 Security Council do anything about that?

00:17:17.000 Of course not.

00:17:18.000 Instead, they look at this resolution that is sponsored and they attempt to push it against Israel.

00:17:23.000 Don't worry.

00:17:24.000 God stands with the Jews when it comes to standing up for Judaism in Jerusalem. 0.61

00:17:29.000 And Israel is not going to cave on anything like this.

00:17:31.000 By the way, for people who claim that the U.N.

00:17:33.000 has any moral legitimacy, all I can say is that Lindsey Graham

00:17:37.000 is in favor of, if this resolution is passed with U.S.

00:17:41.000 abstention, Lindsey Graham says that we should withdraw all funding from the U.N.

00:17:45.000 If that's the result, I'm in favor of the resolution.

00:17:48.000 Anything that results in funding being withdrawn from the U.N., I can live with.

00:17:51.000 The U.N. 0.92

00:17:52.000 has always been a Jew-hating bastion.

00:17:54.000 There are 193 countries in the U.N. 0.97

00:17:56.000 Well over 50 of them are Muslim dictatorships. 1.00

00:18:00.000 That doesn't even include all of the various foreign dictatorships that ally with the Muslim dictatorships, border the Muslim dictatorships, or are anti-Semitic in their own right, like some of the countries of Europe.

00:18:10.000 The U.N.

00:18:10.000 Human Rights Council, of the first 103 resolutions of the U.N.

00:18:14.000 Human Rights Council, 56 of them were dedicated to ripping Israel.

00:18:17.000 There are more resolutions in the U.N.

00:18:20.000 against Israel than against North Korea and Syria combined in 2016.

00:18:24.000 The fact that anybody takes the U.N.

00:18:25.000 seriously demonstrates what a joke this is.

00:18:28.000 The same leftists who are complaining about Trump

00:18:31.000 Threatening NATO, which I agree is a bad thing, are completely silent about the United Nations, which threatens sovereignty of individual countries and interferes in peace deals in order to boost the worst people on planet Earth.

00:18:44.000 Barack Obama, his administration is an anti-semitic administration.

00:18:47.000 You cannot stand in favor of Arab terror against Israelis. 0.98

00:18:51.000 And you can't be silent when American Jews get killed in Israel. 0.78

00:18:55.000 And for me not to assume that there's an animus there.

00:18:58.000 Of course there's an animus there.

00:18:59.000 This policy is anti-semitic.

00:19:00.000 This policy is anti-Israel. 0.95

00:19:01.000 It is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state. 0.82

00:19:04.000 Because the same logic that says that this is historically, that Jerusalem is historically not Jewish.

00:19:10.000 Let me tell you something.

00:19:11.000 If East Jerusalem doesn't belong to the Jews, neither does Tel Aviv. 0.65

00:19:14.000 It's like saying Washington, D.C.

00:19:16.000 doesn't belong to the Americans. 0.58

00:19:17.000 Makes it very difficult to make the case that Podunk, Iowa does if Washington, D.C.

00:19:20.000 doesn't.

00:19:22.000 So that's what's going on over all this.

00:19:24.000 By the way, and I should mention that it is amazing where the U.N.

00:19:27.000 decides to put its focus.

00:19:29.000 There's slaughter occurring in Syria on the level of hundreds of thousands of people.

00:19:33.000 No U.N.

00:19:34.000 resolutions on that because Russia will veto anything that comes up.

00:19:37.000 Russia is more strongly allied with Syria than the United States under Barack Obama is allied with Israel, which should tell you something. 0.71

00:19:44.000 The atrocities that are currently occurring are unbelievable.

00:19:48.000 And the fact that Barack Obama is providing fodder to the worst people on earth, it shouldn't come as a shock, but it is morally shocking.

00:19:56.000 Here's just an example.

00:19:57.000 There's a video that came out yesterday.

00:19:59.000 We'll play it in a second.

00:20:00.000 I want to wait to play this for just a second, but I'm going to show you in a second a video showing a fanatic Muslim lecturing his kids about the virtue of jihad. 0.98

00:20:11.000 And apparently this is coming from Syria.

00:20:15.000 So these are the people who the West is at war with, but Obama prefers to ignore that.

00:20:18.000 We'll play that video in just a second.

00:20:19.000 But first, we have to say hello to a new advertiser.

00:20:21.000 There's this podcast you should take a listen to.

00:20:23.000 I love listening to other podcasts, not just my own.

00:20:27.000 I actually don't listen to my own frequently, but I love listening to podcasts.

00:20:31.000 One of the podcasts that you should definitely take a listen to is they've started creating these entertainment podcasts.

00:20:35.000 And there's one called Terms, and it's really kind of fun.

00:20:38.000 It's a fictional podcast.

00:20:40.000 You can get it at iTunes, Stitcher, Wondery.com, wherever you listen to podcasts.

00:20:44.000 And they have new episodes every Monday.

00:20:45.000 It's a political thriller, basically.

00:20:47.000 It's really well-produced.

00:20:48.000 It's really fun to listen to.

00:20:50.000 The plot is essentially that America has voted in one of its most controversial presidents, and the outgoing president attempts to hold onto power.

00:20:59.000 So you can sort of see where this is going, but you really can't because it's unpredictable and it's really good.

00:21:04.000 Direct listeners,

00:21:05.000 Can subscribe at least three times, you know, I think right now if you if you are

00:21:12.000 We're good to go.

00:21:38.000 Can you explain to me, Mr. Kefzi?

00:22:02.000 What are you going to do? 0.98

00:22:04.000 To commit suicide? 0.98

00:22:05.000 These are two little girls.

00:22:05.000 If you can't see this, you're just listening.

00:22:08.000 Two very small girls who are in full burqa, basically.

00:22:11.000 Damascus, but you're only nine years old.

00:22:14.000 Did all of them flee in the green buses? 1.00

00:22:17.000 You're going to kill them? 1.00

00:22:25.000 What's he saying? 0.99

00:22:28.000 But don't worry, the real focus here has to be on Israel.

00:22:31.000 Clearly the focus has to be on Israel.

00:22:33.000 Not on Iran.

00:22:34.000 Not on ISIS.

00:22:35.000 Not on Jihadism.

00:22:37.000 Not on the terror that exists.

00:22:38.000 Hamas? 0.90

00:22:39.000 By the way, Hamas? 0.86

00:22:40.000 Hezbollah? 0.54

00:22:41.000 Israel's enemies are the West's enemies. 0.92

00:22:42.000 Israel is part of the West. 0.79

00:22:43.000 This is what Obama's been spending eight years doing, trying to divide Israel off from the West, so they don't have to acknowledge

00:22:49.000 We're good.

00:23:05.000 Good on Donald Trump.

00:23:06.000 Donald Trump yesterday came out and openly called for Obama to veto this thing.

00:23:11.000 I'm hoping that Trump comes out today and threatens to withdraw UN funding if Obama doesn't veto this thing.

00:23:19.000 But so far, all indicators are that Trump is going to be very pro-Israel.

00:23:23.000 And good for him on that.

00:23:24.000 Good for him.

00:23:25.000 Because he was sort of a little bit of a Rorschach test during the election cycle.

00:23:28.000 And he is exceeding my expectations wildly on this.

00:23:31.000 And so I celebrate him for doing that.

00:23:33.000 Good for Donald Trump.
