The Supreme Court allows the State of Texas to begin arresting and deporting non-citizens on its own, rejecting an emergency appeal from the Biden administration that argued that states can t interfere with federal authority over the border. What does this mean for the future of the border? And what will the Mexican government do to stop the flow of illegal immigrants across the border into the United States? And what does it have to do with all of the illegal immigrants who already cross the border illegally? What role does Mexico play in the process of deporting illegal immigrants from Texas and other states along the southern border? What does Mexico have to say about this? And is this a good or bad deal for illegal immigrants in general, or just one more example of the open border policy that the Biden Administration is trying to implement in order to achieve their vision of an all-encompassing, "open border" immigration policy that will see illegal immigrants flowing across the U.S. border and into the rest of the country. What does that mean for illegal immigration and illegal immigration in general? Is this a win for the border or a lose-win situation, or is it a defeat for the Border Patrol? or is this just more of the same? policy that has been in place for years and will it be even worse? in the future? We ll find out in this episode of the podcast, where we discuss what will happen in the immigration policy and immigration policy from the Obama administration and what it means for illegal immigrant detention centers and detention centers in Mexico and the border patrol areas in Mexico. and what Mexico is going to do in response to the border law that the President is doing to stop illegal immigrants crossing the border to get a fair shot at a fair chance to apply for asylum status in the US. in this segment of the immigration reform.

00:00:00.000So, just how committed is the Biden administration to an open border?
00:00:03.000They're so committed to an open border that they're now trying to stop the state of Texas from actually enforcing the border as we know.
00:00:09.000The state of Texas tried to erect, for example, barbed wire fencing in the middle of a Texas state park to prevent illegal immigrants from simply rushing over the border and into the interior of the United States.
00:00:19.000The White House then ordered Border Patrol to go in and take down some of that fencing.
00:00:24.000The White House has also attempted to now sue the state of Texas to stop the state of Texas from passing a law that would criminalize illegal entry into the state of Texas, which would allow the state of Texas to arrest and then presumably attempt to deport illegal immigrants.
00:00:40.000Only we have the prerogative when it comes to enforcing border law.
00:00:43.000And we have chosen not to enforce border law, which means you cannot enforce border law.
00:00:47.000Which, of course, is an absurd contention.
00:00:49.000And the entire purpose of the federal government is to enforce things like the border.
00:00:53.000And if they won't do it, well then states probably Under the law, do have the sovereign ability to actually enforce the border.
00:01:00.000That was the question before the Supreme Court.
00:01:02.000The Wall Street Journal reports that on Tuesday, the Supreme Court allowed the state of Texas to begin arresting and deporting non-citizens on its own, rejecting an emergency appeal from the Biden administration that argued that states can't interfere with federal authority over the border.
00:01:14.000The court declined to block Texas laws known as SB4 that makes illegal border crossing a state crime and then allows state officials to conduct arrests and deportations.
00:01:23.000The Supreme Court was considering whether, in fact, the supremacy clause meant that the federal government had basically occupied that field of law and states could not intervene in any way, shape, or form.
00:01:32.000The Supreme Court decided, no, it turns out the state of Texas can criminalize illegal entry into the state of Texas by illegal immigrants and then attempt to deport.
00:01:39.000The Supreme Court order Split the justices along ideological lines, but it's not a final decision, so it'll probably be remanded back to the appellate court, and then it will come back to the Supreme Court in another form.
00:01:50.000According to the Wall Street Journal, a state enforcing its own immigration law in conflict
00:01:53.000with federal policy could have an immediate and wide-ranging impact on the border.
00:01:57.000Migrants who claim asylum from persecution have long been eligible to remain in the United
00:02:00.000States, at least temporarily, because federal law implementing international treaties bars
00:02:03.000summary deportation before those cases are decided.
00:02:06.000So, in other words, the federal government decides to grant somebody temporary asylum
00:02:10.000status while their case awaits, while it is pending.
00:02:14.000The state of Texas can say, well, I don't know about that.
00:02:18.000We're just going to arrest you and deport you anyway.
00:02:21.000The thing about this that's so odd, of course, is that for years and years and years, we've been told that it's totally fine for states not to cooperate with federal authorities in their non-enforcement of the borders.
00:02:31.000If the federal authorities ask cities, for example, to give them information when an illegal immigrant is arrested, then cities can call themselves sanctuary cities and simply refuse to comply.
00:02:41.000So, in other words, the left-wing perspective on this is that if you are the city of New York and you wish to call yourself a sanctuary city, the federal government has not actually occupied the space and you can do what you want, but if you're the state of Texas and you wish to actually enforce the border, you can't do the reverse.
00:02:56.000The country of Mexico immediately came out and said, we won't even accept any sort of deportees from Texas.
00:03:03.000So if you try to ship them back into Mexico, we are not going to accept them.
00:03:07.000We'll only accept them from the federal government, which again, goes to show you how hand in glove the Biden administration is working with the Mexican government.
00:03:13.000Remember, Donald Trump had in place, he had negotiated a remain in Mexico policy with the Mexican government.
00:03:19.000That remain in Mexico policy meant that if you tried to cross the American border, You were captured or you applied for asylum.
00:03:25.000You had to wait in Mexico to hear whether a court would allow you into the country or not.
00:03:31.000You could not be released simply into the United States and then you never show up for your court date again.
00:03:36.000And Trump had negotiated that with Mexico.
00:03:38.000Day one, Joe Biden walked that one back.
00:03:40.000So the Mexican government, of course, prefers to work with Joe Biden rather than, say, the state of Texas.
00:03:44.000The government of Mexico put out a statement.
00:03:47.000Condemning the entry into force of anti-immigration law SB4 in Texas.
00:03:50.000They say, quote, on behalf of the government of Mexico,
00:03:52.000the Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemns the entry into force of Texas law SB4,
00:03:56.000which seeks to stop the flow of migrants by criminalizing them
00:03:59.000and encouraging the separation of families, discrimination and racial profiling.
00:04:02.000It violate the human rights of the migrant community.
00:04:04.000I didn't realize there was such a thing as the migrant community.
00:04:09.000It turns out that migrants come from a hundred plus countries all around the globe.
00:04:12.000They don't constitute their own community.
00:04:14.000The state of Texas, which is heavily Hispanic, is not simply going after Hispanic people.
00:04:19.000They're going after anyone who is there illegally.
00:04:22.000Meanwhile, Mexico says that they reiterate their legitimate right to protect the rights of their nationals in the United States and to determine its own policies regarding entry into its territory.
00:04:30.000So in other words, Mexico is saying if a Chinese national crosses all the way through Mexican territory and then goes into the United States and the state of Texas arrests that person and tries to deport them back to Mexico, you know, where they were just a moment ago, Mexico will say, no, we get to protect our border from the American invasion from the north.

00:06:01.000Speaking of albatrosses around the neck of the Biden campaign, yesterday, the House GOP held a hearing over the disastrous 2021 withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.
00:06:13.000According to Axios, General Kenneth McKenzie, the head of U.S.
00:06:15.000CENTCOM during the withdrawal, as well as Mark Milley, will testify to the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Republicans on the panel would try to get the retired generals on the record in order to tie the failures in Afghanistan to the Biden administration, which, of course, that's precisely what they were.
00:06:30.000I mean, those failures are what sank Joe Biden's presidency.
00:06:32.000Go back and look at his approval rating.
00:06:34.000His approval rating was in the 50th percentile.
00:06:44.000Again, the simple failure of the Biden administration on Afghanistan was a prelude to all the failures since.
00:06:51.000Whether in Ukraine, or whether in Israel, whether you're talking in the Middle East or Eastern Europe, whether you're talking in the Straits of Taiwan, or whether you're talking about in the Straits of Hormuz.
00:07:00.000All of this was pre-staged by the Biden administration's absolute disgusting weakness on foreign policy.
00:07:06.000How bad was the American government with regards to the withdrawal from Afghanistan?
00:07:11.000So bad that General Mark Milley actually did testify in front of Congress yesterday saying that he literally has no idea how many Americans were left behind there.
00:07:19.000The number of Americans, as General McKenzie said, an F-77 report is supposed to... Every ambassador in every country in the world keeps an F-77 report and they're supposed to track the Americans, where they're at, the phone numbers, address, etc.
00:07:42.000I don't know the exact number of Americans that were left behind because the starting number was never clear.
00:07:47.000Same is true of at-risk Afghans, SIVs, the commandos, other Afghans that served with us.
00:07:54.000Those numbers varied so widely that they were quite inaccurate, as best I could tell at the time.
00:08:02.000So I would just say I'm not sure, even today, about the accuracy of all those numbers.
00:08:10.000Slow clap for the geniuses in the American military upper echelons who decided to work with Joe Biden on that pusillanimous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
00:08:18.000As General Jack Keane, retired, said, Joe Biden bears responsibility for this.
00:08:23.000What we've heard so far, General, from this hearing is pretty much common knowledge.
00:08:28.000But this idea that the generals certainly do seem to be pointing a finger at the State Department here does not go unnoticed.
00:08:35.000Well, first of all, I mean, the rose has got to be pinned here, and I think it's unequivocally clear.
00:08:40.000The decision to execute an unconditional Withdrawal with a date certain that the president decided on, over the objection of his military chain of command, the advice that his director of the CIA provided to him, that it's likely that ISIS and Al-Qaeda would grow and rise again if we pulled out completely.
00:09:01.000And the NATO nations who were there with us, who provided some 7,000 troops themselves, all to a person representing those nations wanted to stay.
00:09:12.000Not to please the United States, but because of their own national interests.
00:09:16.000The president made this decision over all of those objections.
00:09:20.000He owns everything that took place as a result of that decision.
00:09:24.000The media have worked hard to obscure what Joe Biden did in Afghanistan.
00:09:27.000It is still the single greatest foreign policy failing of my lifetime.
00:09:32.000As one Afghanistan veteran, Mike Judy, testified, weak leadership is what leads to what happened in Afghanistan.
00:09:39.000It remains a mystery to this day why, when he requested permission to take out that suicide bomber, it went up the chain of command and never came back down.
00:09:50.000That's a great question, and I think the American people deserve that answer.
00:09:54.000Because you need positive identification, and then you're going to put it up to the higher-ups.
00:09:58.000And either they're going to give you the go or the no-go on that.
00:10:01.000You know, I think what we have here is a difference between weak and strong leadership.
00:10:06.000Weak leadership holds zero accountability and pins the blame on their subordinates.
00:10:10.000Strong leadership will take extreme ownership and accountability for their actions and or inactions.
00:10:17.000Speaking of failure to take extreme ownership over action or inaction, the Joe Biden economy continues to exist in this weird nether space in which the economy is booming and then a month later you get sort of revisions to the number of jobs that supposedly have been gained.
00:10:32.000Or the economy is doing amazing but inflation is still carving away at all real wage growth.
00:10:36.000Or the economy is unbelievable except that you're still paying Way more than you were just a few years ago for gas.
00:10:41.000Gas prices, by the way, for the record, were $2.40 when Joe Biden took office per gallon.
00:10:45.000Today, they're clocking in around $3.50.
00:10:49.000Contributing to that entire problem is the fact that the Biden administration is beholden to its far left flank when it comes to oil and natural gas.
00:10:56.000In fact, back in January, the White House issued a temporary pause on pending approvals of liquefied natural gas exports.
00:11:30.000So back in January, they issued an executive order saying, quote, That's why since day one, President Biden has led and delivered on the most ambitious climate agenda in history.
00:11:45.000Today, the Biden-Harris administration is announcing a temporary pause on pending decisions on exports of liquefied natural gas to non-FTA countries Until the Department of Energy can update the underlying analysis for authorizations.
00:11:58.000That, of course, followed on a September announcement by the Biden administration that they were going to slash offshore oil and gas leasing.
00:12:05.000And, of course, Joe Biden has suggested that there are going to be crackdowns on the oil and natural gas industry, which means nobody is investing in refineries.
00:12:12.000The natural result of that is increased oil prices because, obviously, in order to generate future products, you have to start the drilling right now.
00:12:18.000No one in their right mind is going to drill knowing That Joe Biden might step in and shut it down literally tomorrow.
00:12:24.000Meanwhile, Joe Biden's advisors are trying to suggest that this is having no impact on anybody.
00:12:28.000Here is Joe Biden advisor Amos Hochstein, economic advisor, talking about the LNG pause.
00:12:34.000The question is, when you build out that much additional capacity, you've got to take a second and say, wait a minute, before I give a lot more export licenses only to countries that don't have free trade agreements.
00:12:47.000And then we say, all right, let's look, what are the economic impacts?
00:12:50.000How much demand is going to be past 2035, 2040 for gas?
00:12:55.000And what are the impacts on the communities that live along the shore of the Gulf of Mexico, which is really where all of these facilities are being built?
00:14:09.000Again, you are now paying 50% more for gas than you were when Joe Biden took office, and it's not going to go down anytime soon.
00:14:17.000Get some more on this in just one second.
00:14:18.000First, April 7th marked six months since Hamas brutally attacked Israel, launching a vicious war for Israel's survival.
00:14:24.000We're living in times we never thought we would see.
00:14:26.000As Israel fights for their existence, many people around the world have turned their backs on the Israeli people right when they need them most.
00:14:32.000The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now delivering critically needed emergency supplies to those who are suffering.
00:14:38.000There's an immediate need for essentials like food, medicine, and emergency supplies for hundreds of thousands of Jews in Israel.
00:14:43.000Many cannot return to their homes because of the rocket fire in the north from Hezbollah.
00:14:52.000It's a matter of life and death for a lot of men, women, and children who are displaced because their homes were destroyed in the South and many who are displaced in the North right now.
00:14:59.000Many families are still torn apart, have loved ones being held hostage.
00:15:02.000Many have loved ones who are still fighting in the military.
00:15:20.000So what this means that the Biden campaign is heavily reliant on pretty much using every tool at their disposal in order to just target Trump.
00:16:37.000I don't agree with his economic theories, but I also find it quite weird that he is supposed to be going to jail for contempt of Congress.
00:16:43.000is to make him, along with Steve Bannon, the only officials in American history, so far as I'm aware, who have actually been jailed over a contempt of Congress charge.
00:16:52.000Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress.
00:16:54.000Alejandro Mayorkas was recently held in contempt of Congress, I believe.
00:17:05.000Supreme Court denied a request by Donald Trump's former aide Peter Navarro to avoid prison while he appeals his contempt of Congress conviction for defying a subpoena from a panel that investigated the January 6th attack.
00:17:15.000He is now going to be the first senior member of the administration to actually go to prison for actions related to the attempt to overturn Trump's 2020 election laws.
00:17:22.000Now, there's no question that he obstructed Congress in the sense that he actually had a legal duty to testify in front of Congress.
00:17:31.000They called him to testify in front of Congress.
00:17:41.000But that's happened a lot, people being held in contempt of Congress.
00:17:43.000The question is whether they then go to jail.
00:17:45.000And Peter Navarro is correct when he says, hey guys, why is it that I'm the only one who goes to jail?
00:17:50.000Could that have to do with the fact that you really don't like President Trump very much?
00:17:54.000The justice system, such as it is, will have done a crippling blow For the constitutional separation of powers and executive privilege.
00:18:02.000Here's where the homework is, because the big constitutional separation of powers are these.
00:18:11.000Can Congress compel a senior White House advisor, what they call the alter ego of a president, to testify before Congress?
00:18:21.000And executive privilege goes back to George Washington and his remarks to the Congress regarding the Jay Treaty.
00:18:32.000And he said, very simply and clearly, succinctly, elegantly, that to write to the Congress, he said, I cannot command you, as members of Congress, to come to me.
00:18:51.000And the reason is the constitutional separation of powers.
00:18:54.000Now again, the question as to whether executive privilege applied to the kind of conversations that Peter Navarro is having with President Trump is an open one.
00:19:01.000The point is that there have been a lot of people who have been held in contempt of Congress over the centuries since the United States was created.
00:19:07.000He's the first guy to actually go to jail over something like that, and that presumably is because there needs to be a headline about Trump aides going to jail over January 6th.
00:19:16.000Meanwhile, over at the New York Times, they literally put out a piece titled, it turns out the deep state is actually kind of awesome.
00:19:22.000So Donald Trump is constantly railing about the deep state.
00:19:24.000Correctly, it turns out that the permanent employed class in Washington, D.C., many of whom work inside the executive branch in these permanent agencies that never go away and never turn over, they're in danger from President Trump.
00:19:35.000And now the media are gonna come out in their defense.
00:19:37.000There needs to be an unelected, unanswerable branch of the American government, according to the media, specifically to stymie the kinds of things that Donald Trump wants to do.
00:19:45.000And that is why you need entire pieces in the New York Times talking about the magic of the deep state.
00:19:50.000Quote, as America closes in on a major election, Mistrust is brewing around the mysterious government entity that's now denounced in scary-sounding terms.
00:20:08.000They go to bed at night watching Star Trek reruns.
00:20:10.000They go to work and do their jobs, saving us from Armageddon.
00:20:13.000Sure, our tax dollars pay them, but as you'll see in the video above, what a return on our investment we get.
00:20:18.000When we hear deep state instead of recoiling, we should rally.
00:20:21.000We should think about the workers, otherwise known as our public servants, the everyday superheroes who wake up ready to dedicate their careers and their lives to serving us.
00:20:31.000It's directed at Donald Trump not being able to use Schedule F. Schedule F allows the president of the United States to summarily fire people in the executive branch.
00:20:42.000That is a good thing because the president is elected and none of these jokers are.
00:20:46.000Now, that doesn't mean everybody who's working in a permanent position in the federal government is bad or bad at their job.
00:20:50.000What it does mean is that the only reason the media are celebrating these people today is because they believe they'll be an entrenched interest group designed to stymie and stifle anything that President Trump attempts to do.
00:21:02.000Democrats love the deep state specifically because it is unconstitutional.
00:21:07.000We'll get to more on this in a moment.
00:21:08.000First, I know what it's like to start and run a business.
00:22:31.000You reached into your pocket, you pulled out a lead pipe, and you beat him half to death.
00:22:34.000And then Republicans were like, hey, you know what?
00:22:37.000If you're just going to hit with everything you got, and it doesn't have to be fair and it doesn't have to be right, well, we got somebody who will do the same thing to you.
00:22:45.000And every time the Democrats double down on this sort of stuff, it makes people in the Republican Party more passionate about somebody like Donald Trump, who's willing to use pretty much any tool at his disposal to attack his enemies.
00:23:02.000The fact that Stormy Daniels is a national name, no credit to Donald Trump on his personal life, obviously.
00:23:08.000But let's be real about who Stormy Daniels is.
00:23:11.000Stormy Daniels literally met Donald Trump at a golf event, and she slept with him after meeting him because he said that he might be able to get her on The Apprentice or something.
00:23:23.000And then she tried to essentially blackmail Trump for years.
00:23:28.000She essentially attempted to sell her story to the public to demonstrate that Donald Trump was just the worst person in the world, and so Donald Trump paid her to be quiet.
00:23:38.000So this raises some moral questions about, you know, a porn star named Stormy Daniels, who was willing to have sex with people because apparently they were willing to put her on The Apprentice for a moment in time, and then decided to try to sell that story to the press to make money.
00:23:50.000That's not like an amazing person, and that doesn't alleviate Donald Trump of his sins, but this kind of attempt by the left to make Stormy Daniels a charter member of the resistance is very weird on sort of a moral level.
00:24:01.000Well, now Stormy Daniels is making the case that the reason she actually took the money from Donald Trump, the reason she actually took the payoff money from Donald Trump to keep her mouth shut, the real reason is not because she just likes money because, you know, she was a porn star who sleeps with a lot of people.
00:27:07.000And the evidence that Christine Blasey Ford was telling you a true story about Brett Kavanaugh being part of essentially a gang rape, the evidence does not exist for that.
00:27:15.000How many times can we go to this well before people stop believing what these folks have to be selling?
00:27:20.000And I mean people in the media who are willing to sell any story, no matter how nefarious, about anyone.
00:27:26.000The latest example of this is the story of the Trump campaign.
00:27:29.000Every other day, there is some story coming from Democrats about the Trump campaign and what Donald Trump has said.
00:27:34.000And again, Donald Trump says enough crazy things that you actually don't have to make things up if you wish to run a credible campaign.
00:27:43.000It's a private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona.

00:28:22.000Let me just tell you, it is not going to hunt.
00:28:23.000I will tell you why it's not going to hunt.
00:28:25.000Because the Democratic Party is currently engaged in the most disgusting volt face, about face, when it comes to the state of Israel that I've seen in my lifetime.
00:28:33.000Joe Biden is currently engaged in a process to withdraw armed support from a Democratic ally of the United States that's about to finish off a genocidal terror group, and he's doing so to win votes in Michigan.
00:28:43.000So no, I don't believe you when you people like Chuck Schumer are out there suggesting that Donald Trump is the real threat to Israel and the Jews, because Donald Trump had the temerity to say the Jews should vote Republican if they actually care about the state of Israel, but in more brutish words.
00:28:58.000No, I don't think Donald Trump is an anti-Semite.
00:29:14.000And the people that are trotting out to make the case that Donald Trump's an anti-Semite are, again, people like Chuck Schumer, who is busily engaged in undercutting the state of Israel.
00:29:20.000So Schumer, who was last seen on the floor of the Senate, calling for the ouster of the democratically elected prime minister of the state of Israel in the middle of a war based on a lie, which is that the Israeli people don't support military action in Rafah.
00:29:33.000Now he's back to say that Donald Trump is the real threat to the Jews here.
00:29:37.000The former president's comments were utterly disgusting.
00:29:41.000And a textbook example of the kind of anti-Semitism facing Jews.
00:29:46.000Pushing the dangerous anti-Semitism trope of dual loyalty.
00:29:50.000To say you hate Israel or your religion because you have one political view over the other is sick, it's hateful.
00:30:29.000Every single prayer, every single day, it's there.
00:30:32.000You say it during what we call benshin, which is the grace after meals.
00:30:35.000You say it during Shemona Esrei, which we say minimum three times a day.
00:30:38.000We read it in the Torah literally every week.
00:30:42.000When Donald Trump says, if you don't care enough about that, you're not doing Judaism right, he happens to be correct about that.
00:30:48.000And if that has political ramifications because the Democratic Party is busily running headlong away from the state of Israel in order to pander to Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib supporters in Dearborn, Michigan, that ain't Donald Trump's fault.
00:31:01.000This jackass has spent the last several years, several, going all the way back to 2015, pandering to whatever is the left's most perspective on Israel the Democratic Party can push.
00:31:11.000In 2015, he personally involved himself in pushing the disastrous Iran deal that gave a bunch of money to the mullahs in Iran and gave them a pathway to a nuclear bomb.
00:31:20.000And here he is lecturing Donald Trump about anti-Semitism.
00:31:22.000This is why nobody believes your crap.
00:31:24.000This is why nobody believes it when you just start throwing out vague and specious charges that make no sense without any evidence.
00:31:32.000And the people that the media trot out on these matters are truly wild.
00:31:45.000Rabbi J. Michelson was appearing on CNN with Abby Phillip to explain that actually he's very, very offended by what Donald Trump had to say about Jews and Israel.
00:31:57.000He also, I mean, believes, based on the Abraham Accords and things that he did when he was president, that Jews owe it to him to support him.
00:32:07.000Yeah, like a true mafia boss or something, like we have to have loyalty because he moved the embassy to Jerusalem.
00:32:11.000Meanwhile, he helped coddle the hard, hard right extremists who have made peace impossible in Israel.
00:32:18.000Trump also, let's remember, blamed Israel for the October 7th attacks.
00:32:22.000He didn't come out with a statement saying how appalling and horrific the massacres and rapes were that Hamas committed on that day.
00:32:29.000He said, oh, well, Israel made a mistake, and he insulted the Israeli general, and he said this would never happen under my watch.
00:32:35.000And to see this kind of intense narcissism come at the expense of friends of mine who have children serving in the Israeli military and friends who died on October 7th, it's just, I cannot think of a more despicable and disgusting act, and I can't believe it.
00:32:51.000I can think of many more despicable and disgusting acts.
00:32:53.000For example, I could think of a President of the United States attempting to withdraw armed support from the State of Israel in the middle of a war to preserve their existence against a genocidal terror group.
00:33:01.000I could think of a President of the United States bending over backwards not to condemn open terror supporters like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.
00:33:33.000He was losing his love for it because it made him feel so uncomfortable in his progressive circles because he had to defend the state of Israel, defending itself.
00:33:44.000This guy, this is the true lover of Israel.
00:33:47.000He also, by the way, is largely a spokesperson on behalf of LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign clauses, which last I checked, not huge in the traditional Jewish community because of this thing called the Bible and all of Halakha.
00:34:02.000In any case, This guy suggests in that 2009 piece that he's really upset, really upset that his progressive bona fides have been called into question because of the fact that he is not, that he's too supportive of Israel back in 2009.
00:34:19.000Quote, I think my love of Israel is fading because I feel personally implicated by its injustices, even though I've chosen to live in America and relinquished my right to have any say over Israeli policies.
00:34:30.000On a recent trip to Berlin, I remarked to a friend I felt more relaxed there than in Jerusalem.
00:34:34.000Pardon me if I don't take your opinions on Judaism very seriously, Rabbi.
00:34:41.000By the way, last week, he literally tweeted this, quote, I can't escape the feeling that the war has gone beyond a justified military response to October 7th, or the fear that it is being spurred on in part because of a thirst for collective punishment.
00:35:25.000Smooth 6, Precision 5, you guessed it, lower price.
00:35:27.000Take advantage of Jeremy's March of Man-ness now, get it?
00:35:30.000It's like, it's like March Ma- but it's March of Man-ness.
00:35:32.000Go to jeremysrazors.com, get your razor at a discount right now.
00:35:36.000So meanwhile, the same people who are out there attacking Donald Trump for his anti-Semitism, what do they have to say about the Biden administration's new take with regard to what Israel should do in Rafah?
00:35:45.000There are four battalions of Hamas terrorists in Rafah.
00:35:54.000And yet today, the Biden State Department spokesperson was out there saying, we can't allow military activity in Rafah until there's a real credible plan.
00:36:01.000What exactly would a real credible plan look like?
00:36:04.000Like, any time now, guys, would it look like your disastrous Afghanistan pullout?
00:36:10.000I noticed that the Biden administration has been calling for endless amounts of aid to Ukraine.
00:36:15.000Without any credible military plan to win back the Donbass or Crimea.
00:36:20.000Zero credible military plan to do all of that.
00:36:23.000Now, I'm in favor of funding Ukraine to the tune of preventing Russia from taking more territory.
00:36:28.000I'm in favor of pushing Putin to the table such that the battle lines get frozen and the conflict ends.
00:36:33.000And that requires continued Western funding of Ukraine.
00:36:36.000Not one single solitary time has the Biden administration said to the Ukrainians, guys, before we pour $60 billion into your country for a military offensive in, say, the Donbass or Crimea, would you like to explain to us how this is going to work?
00:36:50.000You know, against a nuclear armed superpower?
00:36:52.000Meanwhile, Israel is trying to fight down and kill a a terrorist group that is not nearly as well equipped as
00:37:00.000the IDF, not nearly as sophisticated as the IDF, but they do have terror tunnels. And Israel's
00:37:06.000been fighting these people for legitimately decades. And the White House is like, well, we'll
00:37:10.000We'll only see a plan. That doesn't, that couldn't have anything to do with the votes in Dearborn,
00:37:14.000could it? Here's the Biden State Department spokesperson.
00:37:16.000What assurances did President Biden get from the Israeli Prime Minister?
00:37:23.000So look, as it relates to the call between the President and Prime Minister Netanyahu,
00:37:28.000you saw the National Security Advisor yesterday speak pretty clearly about the topics. On the
00:37:33.000subject of Rafa, the United States has been very clear that we believe that such kind of
00:37:39.000military activity in Rafa requires a real credible, I want to hear this doof from the State Department talk about military policy.
00:37:53.000He seems like he really knows what he's talking about.
00:37:55.000Probably he should design the battle plan for Rafa.
00:37:59.000And if I seem annoyed by this, it's only because I know a lot of IDF soldiers, including people who have Deal with the wounded and the killed who have been the ones going into harm's way in order to kill members of Hamas while attempting to distinguish them from civilians by the way.
00:38:16.000And meanwhile, we got schmucks like these people out there suggesting that they have a magical battle plan.
00:38:21.000Man, if only Israel had had the magic plan in the first place, if only they'd had the Biden magic wand, then clearly they would have been able to use that.
00:38:30.000Bibi Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, who's the leader of, again, a unity government war cabinet, said, quote, we have a disagreement with the Americans about the need to enter Rafah.
00:38:38.000Not about the need to eliminate Hamas, the need to enter Rafah.
00:38:40.000We do not see a way to eliminate Hamas militarily without destroying these remaining battalions.
00:38:45.000I made it clear to the President in our conversation in the clearest way, we are determined to complete the elimination of these battalions in Rafah.
00:38:50.000There is no way to do it except by going in on the ground.
00:38:54.000So, what exactly is the... If the Americans are willing to offer a plan, I'm sure the Israelis would love to listen to it, but they're not offering a plan.
00:39:02.000What they really want is for this thing to stop, and they want this to stop even if it means that Hamas remains in place.
00:39:09.000Well, because they're laundering that message out through the media.
00:39:11.000So the Wall Street Journal, again, when it comes to the Wall Street Journal, by the way, for those who are media observers, the Wall Street Journal op-ed page is conservative.
00:39:17.000The rest of the Wall Street Journal, their reporting page is actually to the left of the New York Times.
00:39:21.000Their reporters are actually to the left of the New York Times.
00:39:23.000They've done statistical analysis on this sort of stuff.
00:39:26.000So anybody who assumes that it's Wall Street Journal, therefore it's conservative, that's not true.
00:39:29.000In any case, there's a piece titled, quote, The Dilemma Impeding an Israel-Hamas Ceasefire.
00:39:33.000A deal to release hostages and pause the Gaza War is held back by Israel's goal of destroying the militant group.
00:39:37.000Oh, well, I mean, if you say it that way, oh, you mean that Israel is holding up the works on getting back its hostages because they won't agree to let Hamas survive after killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 250 hostage?
00:39:52.000And firing rockets continuously into Israel for the last 20 years?
00:39:55.000Well, I mean, wow, they seem really intransigent.
00:39:58.000Again, it all goes back to that hilarious cartoon of John Kerry, when he was Secretary of State under Barack Obama, sitting with a member of Hamas and a member of the Israeli government, and saying to the Israeli, why won't you just accept their demand that you die?
00:40:13.000That's effectively what they're saying.
00:40:15.000Well, why don't we just... I mean, we can get to peace if you'll just allow Hamas to continue running the place.
00:40:21.000Israel and Hamas are locked in Gaza truce talks with goals that seem impossible to reconcile.
00:40:25.000Israeli negotiators are seeking not only the release of dozens of hostages, but also the freedom to resume a military campaign to crush Hamas once and for all, after any ceasefire ends.
00:40:33.000In contrast, Hamas is essentially negotiating for its survival, pushing for a lasting truce and ways to remain influential in post-war Gaza, if no longer its ruler.
00:40:41.000Well, I mean, if that's the case, ain't no deal gonna get done.
00:40:44.000Because it turns out that after you launch a war and then you start losing, you don't get to make a deal.
00:41:17.000The Ohio Senate primary was between a character named Bernie Moreno, And another character who's in the state senate, whose name was LaRose.
00:41:30.000And Bernie Moreno, who was the endorsed candidate by Donald Trump, he won the primary, according to the Wall Street Journal.
00:41:37.000Trump's grip on the GOP continued to tighten on Tuesday in Ohio when his chosen candidate, Bernie Moreno, prevailed over state senator Matt Dolan, a critic of the former president.
00:41:45.000Trump basically endorsed because Moreno declared fealty to Trump.
00:41:48.000This is the way, unfortunately, that Donald Trump endorses Senate candidates.
00:41:51.000It worked out amazing in 2022, by the way.
00:41:55.000I mean, between Dr. Oz, Hershel Walker, Blake Masters, just Don Baldick in New Hampshire, worked out great for Republicans.
00:42:04.000Probably it'll work out great in Ohio as well, except that I'm looking at the polls right now, and the polls suggest, sadly, that Sherrod Brown, who's a very vulnerable senator in a red state, is currently leading Bernie Moreno by an average of about five points right now.
00:42:18.000Now again, Bernie Moreno may pull it out, maybe he turns around his campaign.
00:42:22.000But it seems to me that candidates should not actually be selected on the basis of personal loyalty to a presidential candidate.
00:42:30.000How do you know, by the way, that Democrats think that Moreno is the better candidate for them?
00:42:33.000Because they literally dump money into him.
00:42:35.000This Democratic plan, by the way, has been working wonders for them for years at this point.
00:42:39.000They find a Republican candidate in a primary.
00:42:41.000They elevate him with millions of dollars.
00:42:42.000He wins, and then he loses the general.
00:42:44.000Moreno has received help from Democrats at Duty and CountryPak.
00:42:48.000They began spending $2.5 million on TV ads, calling the car dealer too conservative for Ohio, which, of course, was a way of endorsing him in a backdoor fashion.
00:42:59.000So, Governor Mike DeWine, who won running away in his gubernatorial race in Ohio, and I think he's too moderate, but he did win running away, as opposed to, say, J.D.
00:43:06.000Vance in Ohio, who won a fairly close race in his Senate race in Ohio.
00:43:11.000DeWine said, quote, that Democrats know Moreno's the weakest candidate to beat Sherrod Brown this fall.
00:43:15.000Senator Rob Portman, also who won easily a re-elect in his Ohio bid last time he was in the Senate, also endorsed Dolan, who is the actual other candidate.
00:43:27.000Moreno's candidacy has also been plagued by this bizarre rumor that back in 2009 or something, he joined anonymously some sort of men-seeking men sex site.
00:43:40.000And then he claimed that it was an intern.
00:43:42.000The intern came out and took credit for it, so presumably it was the intern.
00:43:44.000We don't have any evidence to the contrary.
00:43:47.000You would assume that gets brought up.
00:43:49.000Moreno has shifted his positions politically a lot of times.
00:43:51.000That is no longer a barrier to entry for Republican primary voters.
00:43:55.000So that's a critique of Donald Trump's candidate-picking ability in the Senate.
