Pro-Hamas pogromists storm the airport in Dagestan, Russia, looking for Jews. Meanwhile, a busload of Jewish children are being attacked on the bus ride home from the bus station in Tel Aviv. What's the difference between a Pogrom and a Pogrom? What does it really mean, and why does it matter? And why is it so hard to remember that they are not anti-Zionist, they are anti-Israel? and yet the Pogroms against Jews still go on, and the violence is worse than ever. Is it because they don't know the truth about the facts, or because they are deluding themselves about what the truth is really like, or do they just care about the lies they tell themselves about the truth and pretend they do not know what is actually going on in the world, or are they just making up their own lies to cover up the truth in order to justify their crimes and cover them up for the lies that they have been told for years? And yet, still, they continue to do so. This is not a "pogrom." it is a mass murder, it s a mass massacre, and it s not even a "Pogrom or a "massacre in the words of our great thinkers, but a massacre . a mass killing an act of terror against a fellow human being by a group of people who are not Jewish . . . and the Jews And they have no idea what they are doing they don t know but they do know what they're doing and they still do it anyway why they do it because it s so well, and they are still doing it anyway, so why not do it, right do they not care? and why they should do it ? Why not do they care ? why not how they should do it any more what they should be doing it? What do they should they do should they do more? why should they not do more of them , why do they when they are so much better if they are going to do it better than we do it in the right way are they not doing it in a more civilized way? Why should they?

00:00:00.000 A pogrom is defined as an organized massacre, typically of Jews.
00:00:03.000 Pogroms have been unleashed on the Jewish community across the world over generations by a wide variety of groups.
00:00:09.000 Spanish Muslims in Al-Andalus in 1066.
00:00:12.000 French and German Crusaders in the Rhineland in 1096.
00:00:15.000 Cossacks in the 17th century in Khamenitsky.
00:00:18.000 The largest pogrom was, of course, the Holocaust. 0.95
00:00:20.000 Well, since the Holocaust, the largest pogrom against Jews took place on October 7th of this year, when some 1,500 Israelis were murdered by Hamas terrorists.
00:00:29.000 Since that pogrom, we've been told by our great thinkers that Hamas's brutality requires context. 0.83
00:00:34.000 Never mind that body cam footage from Hamas terrorists reportedly included footage of Hamas killing a father, putting the father's baby in an actual oven, and then burning it to death, and repeatedly raping the mother while all of this went on.
00:00:46.000 According to our pseudo-intellectuals, Hamas terrorists invading peaceful villages and slaughtering babies and raping women and shooting entire families.
00:00:52.000 They weren't truly engaging in a pogrom.
00:00:54.000 They were, in the words of some Columbia University professors, engaging in a military action.
00:00:59.000 They were, in the words of some of our pseudo-intellectuals, engaged in a project of decolonization.
00:01:04.000 No, say many of our thinkers, the Hamas pogrom wasn't really about killing Jews.
00:01:08.000 It was actually about settlements in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank.
00:01:11.000 It was about the breakdown of negotiations with the Palestinian Authority.
00:01:14.000 The massacres were anti-Israel.
00:01:16.000 They were anti-Zionist, not anti-Semitic.
00:01:18.000 And yet the pogroms against Jews continue.
00:01:21.000 On Sunday, mobs of angry pro-Hamas pogromists stormed the airport in the Russian Republic of Dagestan looking for Jews.
00:01:27.000 Apparently, they got word of a flight that had been scheduled to land from Tel Aviv.
00:01:31.000 Here's what it looked like.
00:01:34.000 It's a giant crowd out in front of the airport, screaming, breaking into the airport, because they got word that a flight from Israel was arriving.
00:01:42.000 You can see the huge mob of people outside this airport, storming the airport.
00:01:49.000 You can see members of military, members of the police, looking on, doing nothing, as this happens.
00:01:55.000 The mobs broke into the airport.
00:01:56.000 They ran roughshod through the airport.
00:01:58.000 More footage of this.
00:02:03.000 Just huge crowds of people carrying Palestinian flags, rushing through the airport again, looking to get to the tarmac where this flight was supposedly landing from Tel Aviv.
00:02:15.000 You can hear the Allahu Akbar's, of course.
00:02:18.000 Some 83% of Dagestan is Muslim in practice.
00:02:23.000 They are literally going to the doors looking for Jews, trying to break through doors looking for Jews right now.
00:02:28.000 This is what pogroms look like.
00:02:33.000 They are running through the airport into private areas of the airport, obviously.
00:02:38.000 People telling them there are no Jews here.
00:02:46.000 It doesn't matter, they're still looking.
00:02:52.000 And then they finally make their way out onto the tarmac and they're looking for Jews. 0.99
00:02:56.000 I mean, they're not particularly smart.
00:02:58.000 Some of them are looking for Jews in the actual engine, which would be a weird place to find the Jews.
00:03:03.000 Guys, this isn't the evacuation of Afghanistan or anything.
00:03:07.000 But they weren't being particularly shy about what they were doing. 0.98
00:03:09.000 In the words of this particular pogrom perpetrator, he was there to kill Jews. 0.98
00:03:14.000 He says, I came for the Jews. 0.90
00:03:14.000 Somebody asked him, why are you here? 0.90
00:03:16.000 The Jews? 1.00
00:03:18.000 Yes, to kill them. 1.00
00:03:19.000 Listen, that's a kid's voice. 1.00
00:03:20.000 What will you kill them with? 1.00
00:03:22.000 With a knife. 1.00
00:03:22.000 These are children. 1.00
00:03:24.000 Why did you come here?
00:03:24.000 Show me the knife.
00:03:25.000 To shoot. 1.00
00:03:27.000 To shoot? 1.00
00:03:28.000 Shoot with what? 0.99
00:03:29.000 With a machine gun? 1.00
00:03:32.000 You came here for the Jews, didn't you? 0.99
00:03:34.000 Yes.
00:03:36.000 Stay here until morning, understand? 0.97
00:03:40.000 The pogromists also held signs reading, we are against Jewish refugees and child killers have no place in Dagestan.
00:03:46.000 According to the Moscow Times, local media report that some of the pogromists were actually stopping cars outside the airport to quote, check the personal identification documents of drivers and passengers as they searched for Israeli citizens among the motorists.
00:03:59.000 And in fact, you can see this mob going around rocking cars.
00:04:03.000 They attacked a bus as well.
00:04:04.000 Here they are, grabbing a car, rocking it back and forth.
00:04:13.000 That is actually a police car.
00:04:16.000 And they're rocking back and forth.
00:04:21.000 Looks like a delightful group of people.
00:04:23.000 You know, people who think just like you, obviously.
00:04:25.000 They also attacked a bus.
00:04:26.000 There were children on the bus.
00:04:28.000 There were no Jews anywhere here, by the way.
00:04:30.000 Doesn't matter.
00:04:31.000 The mere rumor of Jews sent them into a spasm of violence. 0.90
00:04:39.000 Meanwhile, children in the bus are trying to They're looking on, wondering what the hell is going on. 0.72
00:04:43.000 Mobs around Dagestan have been going around hotels looking for Jews, trying to break into rooms. 0.94
00:04:51.000 They're literally just going to hotels.
00:05:03.000 They were literally checking people's cars.
00:05:04.000 They were asking them for ID papers to show that they weren't Jewish.
00:05:09.000 They're asking people for their passports so they can see their papers.
00:05:25.000 Now Dagestan's population is largely Muslim.
00:05:28.000 They've been radicalized for years.
00:05:30.000 They've been radicalized both by their authorities and by their religious leaders.
00:05:33.000 The pogroms aren't going to end in Dagestan.
00:05:35.000 All over the world, demonstrators are appearing by the hundreds of thousands, baying for Jewish blood. 0.77
00:05:40.000 Here, for example, is footage from London over the weekend.
00:05:44.000 This is 100,000 people walking through the heart of London.
00:05:49.000 Chanting slogans, anti-Semitic slogans about the slaughter of Jews.
00:05:54.000 Look at the size of this crowd.
00:05:55.000 These are all people imported to the West under the bizarre misimpression that all cultures are the same and everyone will be equally likely to be an excellent Western citizen.
00:06:07.000 Some of the rallyers were chanting.
00:06:09.000 Here are some of the rallyers in Trafalgar Square, and I will inform you what they are chanting.
00:06:20.000 They are chanting, what does that mean?
00:06:24.000 That is a slogan referencing Mohammed's slaughter of the Jews of Khyber, it's a city in the Quran.
00:06:30.000 Again, that's in the middle of London.
00:06:32.000 Here they are, again in London, chanting about the love of martyrdom.
00:06:36.000 They are chanting here, by soul and blood we sacrifice ourselves for you.
00:06:40.000 Al-Aqsa is in the middle of Western capital.
00:06:42.000 They're saying with our blood we will liberate Al-Aqsa.
00:06:51.000 Never mind the fact that Al-Aqsa Mosque is under the control of the Islamic Waqf.
00:06:54.000 In Israel, that doesn't matter at all.
00:06:56.000 Now here's the story.
00:06:58.000 The story of the Jewish people, it's a story of pogroms. 1.00
00:07:00.000 From Pharaoh, to Haman, to Hamas. 0.87
00:07:03.000 And we were told in the aftermath of the worst pogrom in history, the Holocaust, that the world would never allow it again. 0.89
00:07:08.000 Never again, we were told.
00:07:09.000 Well, it turns out that much of the world was just lying.
00:07:12.000 So long as the proposed pogroms are accompanied by some political context, pogroms against the Jews are just fine. 1.00
00:07:18.000 Not only are they fine, they actually have to continue.
00:07:20.000 In fact, Israel, a state created with the explicit promise to protect Jews against such pogroms, must allow such pogroms to continue in the name of human rights. 0.98
00:07:29.000 That's why the international community right now is calling for a ceasefire against Hamas.
00:07:32.000 Because to much of the international community, 1,500 Jews slaughtered for the crime of being Jews, they don't count.
00:07:38.000 The Jewish state and the Jews have to just absorb that loss.
00:07:41.000 We'll pretend like it never happened.
00:07:42.000 Those dead, they're gone and forgotten.
00:07:44.000 All that was so three weeks ago, guys.
00:07:46.000 It was so three weeks ago.
00:07:48.000 The baked babies and the raped women and the kidnapped who are still under the tender mercies of Hamas. 0.93
00:07:55.000 Israel has to leave Hamas in place in the name of humanity, in the name of the children. 0.93
00:07:59.000 After all, if the Jews weren't being quite so uppity in their own self-defense, would Jews be targeted in Dagestan? 0.91
00:08:06.000 In reality, the pogroms never went away, they were just minimized because the state of Israel and its allies were considered strong.
00:08:11.000 But now Israel and its allies, they seem weak. 0.67
00:08:13.000 They seem vulnerable in the aftermath of October 7th.
00:08:16.000 And so Jew haters now believe that Jews everywhere are vulnerable.
00:08:19.000 And here's the thing, Jews everywhere will be vulnerable so long as Israel and the West are weak.
00:08:25.000 In just a second, we'll show how weak the West is.
00:08:28.000 They're literally doing propaganda efforts in the media on behalf of Hamas.
00:08:31.000 It truly is an amazing thing to watch.
00:08:32.000 First, Pure Talk recently announced they would alleviate $10 million in veteran debt by Veterans Day.
00:08:38.000 Thanks to your support last week, they are 74% of that goal with two weeks to go.
00:08:41.000 Think about this.
00:08:42.000 military is made up of 100% volunteers.
00:08:42.000 The U.S.
00:08:45.000 These are men and women who willingly sacrifice everything they have for the country, and when they're done serving, they return home to a tight job market, outrageous living expenses.
00:08:52.000 This is why I'm so happy a private company like Pure Talk has jumped in to help.
00:08:56.000 When you switch to Pure Talk's lightning-fast 5G network, they will donate a portion of every new order to this noble cause.
00:09:01.000 We can make a real difference just by choosing a superior cell phone service.

00:09:32.000 That's puretalk.com slash Shapiro today.
00:09:35.000 So, the reason why the West is perceived as weak is at least in part because of the media. 0.99
00:09:40.000 I mean, truthfully speaking, the Western media, they're just a garbage heap. 0.96
00:09:44.000 They will admit the truth, but in backhanded fashion. 0.96
00:09:47.000 So, for example, right now we keep hearing about the plight of the poor Palestinian people living in Gaza.
00:09:51.000 And yes, they have a horrible plight. 0.97
00:09:54.000 It turns out that it's terrible to live under a government that you elected that's a bunch of terrorists.
00:09:57.000 It turns out that that's a really, really terrible thing.
00:09:59.000 Nobody seemed to care about that for solidly 20 years.
00:10:02.000 And then the minute that Hamas launched the most murderous attack on Jews since World War II, and then Israel retaliated, suddenly it becomes Israel's responsibility to protect Hamas' civilians. 0.60
00:10:12.000 Here's the thing.
00:10:13.000 American civilians, they are the responsibility of the American government. 0.64
00:10:16.000 British civilians, they are the responsibility of the British government. 0.74
00:10:18.000 And Hamas civilians are the responsibility of the Hamas government. 0.89
00:10:21.000 So what exactly is Hamas doing for its own civilians?
00:10:24.000 The answer, of course, is nothing.
00:10:26.000 The New York Times, which has been covering for Hamas throughout this conflict, printing actual propaganda on behalf of Hamas, including the lie that the Israelis killed 500 people at a hospital when it turns out that it was a misfired Palestinian-Islamic Jihad rocket that maybe killed a couple dozen people.
00:10:43.000 And we don't even know that because it's Hamas giving the stats. 0.99
00:10:46.000 Well, the same New York Times that prints awful, idiotic columns by people like Nicholas Kristof. 0.99
00:10:51.000 So, Nicholas Kristof has a piece today called, We are overpaying the price for a sin we didn't commit. 0.99
00:10:56.000 And that's a quote from Palestinians.
00:10:59.000 And here's what Nicholas Kristof says. 1.00
00:11:01.000 Moral idiot, Nicholas Kristof. 1.00
00:11:02.000 A person who, again, you want to show your neck to terrorists? 1.00
00:11:06.000 This is a great way for the West to do it.
00:11:07.000 Over the last week, I've spent reporting in Israel and the West Bank.
00:11:10.000 I've tried to listen and learn.
00:11:11.000 So first of all, we should note, he's not reporting from Gaza.
00:11:13.000 Why is Nicholas Kristof not reporting from Gaza?
00:11:15.000 bombardment, allow fuel into Gaza and keep hospitals running.
00:11:18.000 Over the last week I've spent reporting in Israel and the West Bank.
00:11:20.000 I've tried to listen and learn.
00:11:21.000 So first of all, we should note he's not reporting from Gaza.
00:11:23.000 Why is Nicholas Kristof not reporting from Gaza?
00:11:25.000 Because Hamas controls Gaza.
00:11:27.000 Hamas controls Gaza.
00:11:29.000 All they do is allow you to report what they want you to report, but he's happy to run around Israel. 0.75
00:11:32.000 No problem.
00:11:33.000 So let me share why I believe someday we'll look back at this moment and see a profound moral and policy failure, says Nicholas Kristof.
00:11:38.000 So what exactly is the profound moral and policy failure?
00:11:43.000 The profound moral and policy failure is not stopping the Jews from defending themselves.
00:11:48.000 He says, to conclude his column, quote, The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has condemned what he called clear violations of international humanitarian law we are witnessing in Gaza.
00:11:58.000 The Biden administration, which in the context of Ukraine constantly speaks of international law, vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for humanitarian pauses to deliver aid.
00:12:06.000 Every account I've heard from Gaza this past week, including directly from people there who despise Hamas, suggests the civilian toll has been horrendous.
00:12:13.000 One gauges that at least 53 UN staff members have been killed so far, including teachers and engineers, a psychologist and a gynecologist.
00:12:19.000 And now the suffering in Gaza is set to get much worse.
00:12:21.000 That's partly because hospitals are running out of diesel fuel, and Israel is not allowing fuel into the territory.
00:12:26.000 I understand the reasons, says Nicholas Kristof.
00:12:28.000 Hamas could use diesel fuel for its attacks on Israelis.
00:12:30.000 An Israeli military spokesman also told me the UN alarmists may be exaggerating the shortages.
00:12:36.000 However, says Nicholas Kristof, Israel faces an agonizing challenge.
00:12:40.000 A neighboring territory is ruled by well-armed terrorists who have committed unimaginable atrocities, aimed to commit more, and now shelter in tunnels beneath a population of more than 2 million people.
00:12:47.000 It is a nightmare.
00:12:48.000 But the sober question must be, what policies will reduce the risk, not inflame it, while honoring the intrinsic value of Palestinian life as well as Israeli life?
00:12:56.000 People will answer that question in different ways, says moral exemplar Nicholas Kristof, and I don't claim to have all the answers.
00:13:01.000 But I think someday we will look back in horror at both the Hamas butchery in Israel and at the worsening tableau of suffering in Gaza, in which we are complicit.
00:13:08.000 So, you see, according to Nicholas Kristof, The West, in allowing Israel to kill terrorists, in saying that Israel should, in fact, wipe Hamas off the map, is just as bad as Hamas. 0.63
00:13:17.000 Pure moral equivalence.
00:13:19.000 You know who loves that stuff?
00:13:20.000 You know who loves that stuff?
00:13:21.000 Hamas. 0.73
00:13:21.000 Hamas loves it. 0.73
00:13:23.000 They love it!
00:13:24.000 Because you know who cares literally zero about Palestinian civilians? 1.00
00:13:27.000 Hamas. 0.73
00:13:27.000 They don't care at all about them, but they know that you care about them. 0.73
00:13:30.000 And so if the idea is that they get to survive by abusing their own citizens, and you are going to go along with that, well, you've been complicit in the continual rule of a terrorist group.
00:13:40.000 Which is the alternative.
00:13:41.000 There's not a third alternative.
00:13:43.000 Hamas either goes or Hamas stays.
00:13:45.000 There's no third move here.
00:13:48.000 We'll get to more on this in just one second.
00:13:49.000 But again, the West constantly baring its neck to people who wish to chop it.
00:13:54.000 Get to that in one second first.
00:13:56.000 You need life insurance.
00:13:57.000 It's a dangerous world out there.
00:13:59.000 Not just because of everything going on, but just generally.
00:14:01.000 You need life insurance.
00:14:02.000 Gotta make sure that your family is taken care of in case, God forbid, something happens to you.
00:14:05.000 Policy Juniors makes it easy to compare life insurance quotes from top companies and find your lowest price.
00:14:09.000 Their license agents work for you, not the insurance companies, which means you can trust their guidance.
00:14:13.000 They don't have an incentive to recommend one insurer over another.
00:14:15.000 There are no added fees.
00:14:16.000 Your personal information is kept private.

00:15:02.000 So again.
00:15:03.000 The West's pseudo-intellectuals seem laser-focused on enabling some of the worst people on the planet.
00:15:09.000 The New York Times ran a piece.
00:15:11.000 Again, just every op-ed from the New York Times is the same.
00:15:13.000 It's really about how, in the end, it's Israel to blame. 0.90
00:15:16.000 Israel's the real problem. 1.00
00:15:17.000 The New York Times ran a piece yesterday from Dr. Abu Safia, a pediatrician at Kemal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, called, I'm a Pediatrician in Gaza, Please Save Us From This Horror.
00:15:27.000 I checked, there is literally no mention of anything Hamas did in this piece.
00:15:31.000 Nothing.
00:15:32.000 Zero mention of it.
00:15:33.000 And the New York Times printed it, because of course the idea is that Israel is responsible for everything that is going on in the Gaza Strip, which presumably is also why the United Nations, as I've said before, the most icily of international politics, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, voted 120 in favor, 14 against, 45 abstentions, in favor of a ceasefire that would only benefit Hamas. 0.71
00:15:54.000 That is literally the result of this.
00:15:56.000 By the way, some of your favorite moral nations like Ukraine abstained.
00:16:00.000 Ukraine, which demanded that Israel hand over Iron Dome to it, Ukraine abstained from this particular vote.
00:16:05.000 Meanwhile, while begging an American doorstep for tens of billions of dollars to defend from Russian predations, Ukraine abstained.
00:16:11.000 I'm just pointing out Ukraine here because for all the talk about how everybody owes Ukraine, Ukraine at a certain point might actually want to decide who its friends are.
00:16:18.000 In any case, A huge number of nations actually abstained.
00:16:22.000 That included Germany, which abstained.
00:16:24.000 Finland abstained.
00:16:25.000 Canada abstained.
00:16:27.000 Only 14 nations voted against the ceasefire resolution from the United Nations.
00:16:33.000 That included the United States, Tonga, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Guatemala, Croatia, Czechoslovakia, Fiji, and Austria.
00:16:46.000 All of the other Western nations, places like France, France voted in favor of the ceasefire.
00:16:55.000 The UK abstained.
00:16:55.000 The UK.
00:16:59.000 You want to show weakness?
00:17:01.000 This is the way you show weakness.
00:17:03.000 And again, it's all a game.
00:17:05.000 It's all a game that's being played by Hamas, using the UN as its cutout. 0.99
00:17:10.000 Here was the UN chief Antonio Guterres, who the other day was trying to contextualize the mass murder of Jews in Israel by talking about Arab-Israel history.
00:17:18.000 Wrongly, of course.
00:17:19.000 Here he was saying it's getting desperate in Gaza.
00:17:20.000 I mean, I would imagine it's getting desperate in Gaza.
00:17:23.000 You know who could solve that problem?
00:17:24.000 Today, Hamas, by surrendering.
00:17:26.000 That's it.
00:17:27.000 All Hamas has to do is walk out with its hands up and hand over the hostages, and then it's all over.
00:17:31.000 Magically, it's all over.
00:17:32.000 But no one in the UN is calling for that.
00:17:34.000 There's not a resolution for Hamas to surrender.
00:17:36.000 There's not even a resolution for Hamas to surrender the hostages at this point.
00:17:39.000 Here's the UN chief.
00:17:41.000 And I repeat my utter condemnation of the appalling attacks perpetrated by Hamas. 0.99
00:17:49.000 There is no justification ever for the killing, injuring, and abduction of civilians.
00:17:57.000 The situation in Gaza is growing more desperate by the hour.
00:18:01.000 I regret that instead of a critical humanitarian pause supported by the international community, Israel has intensified its military operations.
00:18:13.000 The number of civilians who have been killed and injured is totally unacceptable.
00:18:18.000 The killings are wrong.
00:18:19.000 So who's to blame for that?
00:18:21.000 I mean, the answer of course is Hamas is to blame for that, as we'll explain in just a second. 0.75
00:18:24.000 They're literally maximizing civilian casualties by putting civilians on top of their tunnels,
00:18:28.000 and, and by the way, they have plenty of supplies.
00:18:30.000 Hamas is underground with plenty of supplies we'll get to in just a moment, 0.88
00:18:33.000 but leave it to the morally blind or the morally obtuse to, again, promote the interests of Hamas.
00:18:38.000 Here is anti-Semite extraordinaire Jeremy Corbyn calling for a ceasefire.
00:18:42.000 The killings are wrong.
00:18:45.000 The killing of young people at a music festival the Negev was wrong.
00:18:49.000 Oh, they're similarly wrong.
00:18:50.000 They're the same. 0.98
00:18:51.000 Shut this tool up. 1.00
00:18:52.000 Let's start with the ceasefire now. 0.82
00:18:53.000 They're the same.
00:18:54.000 Thousands have died.
00:18:55.000 And if this doesn't stop, thousands more will die.
00:18:59.000 There has to be a way forward. 0.98
00:19:01.000 Shut this tool up. 1.00
00:19:02.000 He's, it's just, it's, it's, let's start with the ceasefire now. 0.97
00:19:05.000 He says, same thing from Bernie Sanders again, as Jewish as a ham sandwich.
00:19:08.000 Quote, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire and getting worse by the minute.
00:19:12.000 Israel must obey international law and allow innocent men, women and children the food, water, medical supplies and fuel desperately needed.
00:19:17.000 Now, how does he propose that it get to the innocent men, women and children when Hamas controls all of the areas of import? 0.96
00:19:22.000 How does he expect that to happen?
00:19:25.000 Meanwhile, you have other Democrats who are trying to warn Joe Biden into abandoning Israel. 0.99
00:19:29.000 That would include leader of the progressive Congressional Caucus, Pramila Jayapal, who's literally warning Joe Biden to stop being so supportive of those damned Jews. 0.99
00:19:37.000 He is, I think, going to be challenged to explain an issue of this moral significance to people. 0.98
00:19:45.000 The American people are actually Quite far away from where the President and even Congress, the majority of Congress has been on Israel and Gaza.
00:19:55.000 They support the right for Israel to defend itself, to exist, but they do not support a war crime exchanged for another war crime.
00:20:04.000 And I think the President has to be careful about that.
00:20:08.000 It's a war crime exchange from Hamas is desperate to equate its slaughter of babies and rape of women with Israel attempting to kill Hamas terrorists. 0.66
00:20:16.000 They're desperate for this, and the West is giving it to them on a platter, at least the Western left.
00:20:20.000 The Western left is giving it to them on an absolute platter.
00:20:22.000 You know who loves this?
00:20:24.000 Hamas. 0.73
00:20:24.000 No one loves this more than Hamas. 0.73
00:20:25.000 They love it.
00:20:26.000 They love every aspect of this.
00:20:28.000 In one second, we'll get to just how much Hamas loves this, and also we'll get to the fact that it's weird.
00:20:32.000 The international left, they don't seem all that concerned about certain types of refugees, even Muslim refugees, as it turns out.
00:20:36.000 We'll get to that momentarily first.

00:21:37.000 So, as I say, Hamas is loving this. 0.74
00:21:40.000 Again, the hypocrisy of the international community here is truly astonishing. 0.70
00:21:43.000 Truly astonishing. 0.68
00:21:45.000 I mean, the double standard is amazing.
00:21:47.000 So, UN agencies, for example, are currently... You haven't heard this story because it's not important to you.
00:21:51.000 And it's not important to you because it's not important to the media because it doesn't involve the Jews.
00:21:55.000 That's the way that... Let's be real about this.
00:21:57.000 That's why people care.
00:21:58.000 If this involves Muslim on Muslim issues, no one cares. 1.00
00:22:02.000 No one cares that there have been several million Syrian refugees who have been shuttled back and forth between Turkey and Syria for years.
00:22:08.000 No one cares about that.
00:22:09.000 No one.
00:22:10.000 No one cares that hundreds of thousands of Syrian civilians have been killed by the Assad regime.
00:22:15.000 In fact, Barack Obama pretended to care, then he cared so little that he handed it over to the Russians. 0.57
00:22:19.000 Well now, according to the Voice of America, U.N.
00:22:22.000 agencies are warning that Pakistan's planned expulsion of more than a million undocumented foreign nationals risks triggering a human rights catastrophe.
00:22:29.000 What's happening?
00:22:30.000 Well apparently, Pakistan, on November 1, is going to deport 1.4 million Afghans back to the Taliban.
00:22:38.000 1.4 million Afghans back to the Taliban.
00:22:42.000 Apparently, the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, reports that Pakistan is currently holding 3.7 million Afghan refugees, 700,000 of whom fled Afghanistan after the Taliban takeover.
00:22:52.000 1.7 million are deemed to be in Pakistan illegally.
00:22:55.000 Pakistan says that those who are registered as refugees, they don't have to worry, but everyone else is going to be returned to the Taliban.
00:23:03.000 So things are going great.
00:23:04.000 Nobody cares about that.
00:23:05.000 No one cares about that.
00:23:06.000 Why doesn't anyone care about that?
00:23:07.000 Well, because that might mean condemning Pakistan.
00:23:09.000 We can't condemn Pakistan.
00:23:10.000 We wouldn't want that.
00:23:11.000 We want to get involved in that.
00:23:12.000 That whole problem of, you know, an Islamic dictatorship that masquerades as a democracy. 1.00
00:23:17.000 But when it comes to Israel, we have to be... That's when human rights concerns are at their apex, is when the Jews respond to violence against the Jews. 0.89
00:23:25.000 And as I say, Hamas could not be more excited about this because they're very clear about what they want to do.
00:23:29.000 And one of the most amazing things that Hamas is using to its own benefit is the paternalistic sense that Westerners have about third-worlders. 0.78
00:23:36.000 I mean, it really is an amazing thing.
00:23:38.000 Hamas just says out loud over and over and over, we do not care about our civilians.
00:23:43.000 We want our civilians to die. 1.00
00:23:44.000 We are planting tunnels beneath us. 0.83
00:23:46.000 They say it like out loud all the time, every day.
00:23:48.000 And the West is like, well, but really you care about your civilians.
00:23:52.000 And so if something bad is happening to the civilians, probably it's the Jews. 0.98
00:23:55.000 Probably it's the Jews. 1.00
00:23:57.000 I mean, here's Ismail Haniyeh.
00:23:58.000 Haniyeh is the political leader of Hamas.
00:24:01.000 He's living in great style and luxury over in Qatar, where he and his group have embezzled hundreds of millions of dollars from their own citizens. 0.52
00:24:08.000 And here he is saying, what we actually need is the blood of more women and children. 0.66
00:24:12.000 He says, to stop this war against our children, women, and the elderly, our mosques, our universities, and our homes, This brutal aggression must stop.
00:24:12.000 That's what we need.
00:24:31.000 This new holocaust must stop. 1.00
00:24:36.000 I've said this before and I say it again.
00:24:38.000 The blood of the women, children and elderly. 1.00
00:24:46.000 I'm not saying that this blood is calling for your help.
00:24:49.000 We are the ones who need this blood.
00:24:50.000 We need this blood.
00:24:53.000 So it awakens within us the revolutionary spirit.
00:24:57.000 So they need more blood.
00:24:58.000 They need to awaken their own revolution. 0.99
00:25:00.000 They need dead kids. 1.00
00:25:01.000 They need dead women in order to awaken their own revolutionary spirit. 1.00
00:25:05.000 And they will achieve it, according to the New York Times.
00:25:08.000 This is an amazing piece from the New York Times over the weekend.
00:25:10.000 Quote, as Gazans scrounge for food and water, Hamas sits on a rich trove of supplies. 0.71
00:25:14.000 Quote, as supplies of virtually every basic human necessity dwindle in Gaza, one group in the besieged enclave remains well-stocked.
00:25:21.000 Hamas. 0.73
00:25:22.000 Arab and Western officials say there is substance to Israeli claims of Hamas stockpiling supplies, including desperately needed food and fuel.
00:25:29.000 Hamas has hundreds of thousands of gallons of fuel for vehicles and rockets, caches of ammunition, explosives and materials to make more, stockpiles of food, water, and medicine, according to officials.
00:25:38.000 A senior Lebanese official said Hamas, which is estimated to number between 35,000 and 40,000 people, has enough stocked away to keep fighting for three to four months without resupply.
00:25:49.000 The Arab and Western officials who described Hamas' supply situation spoke on condition of anonymity because they were disclosing information gleaned from human sources.
00:25:56.000 The stockpiles are typically kept underground and caution that precise details on Hamas' supplies were difficult to come by.
00:26:02.000 While the blockade has left Gaza's roughly 2 million people scraping by with what little food and water they scrounge up, it doesn't appear to have begun to degrade Hamas' ability to fight.
00:26:10.000 The supply situation speaks to the relative sophistication of Hamas as a fighting force.
00:26:15.000 And here's the key sentence from the New York Times.
00:26:16.000 It's just an amazing, incredible sentence.
00:26:20.000 Yet, with Gazans facing a humanitarian catastrophe, Hamas' stockpiles raise questions about what responsibility, if any, it has to the civilian population.
00:26:27.000 Why would that possibly raise questions?
00:26:29.000 What do you mean, what responsibility do they have?
00:26:31.000 They are the governing party in the Gaza Strip.
00:26:34.000 That's like saying, America during wartime.
00:26:36.000 This raises questions about what responsibility America has to its own citizens for their safety.
00:26:40.000 You mean that's literally why the government exists?
00:26:43.000 When it comes to Hamas, it's easy to be a terrorist, man. 0.98
00:26:45.000 When you're a terrorist, you can Rape, murder, kill your own citizens, put them on top of your own bombs, and the rest of the world apparently just goes, well, you know, that raises some questions about your responsibility, but in the end, we're going to blame the Jews. 0.99
00:26:56.000 In the end, we're going to blame the Jews. 1.00
00:26:59.000 Hamas has said little of its supply situation, but the government it runs in Gaza says it has an emergency fuel stockpile that is quickly being depleted.
00:27:07.000 Those fuel stockpiles are separate from and far smaller than the 211,000 to 264,000 gallons of gas and diesel the Israeli military says Hamas has on hand.
00:27:18.000 And by the way, everybody understands that Hamas is stealing everything that goes into the Gaza Strip. 0.64
00:27:24.000 This notion that Israel sending in aid, that that's not going to be taken by Hamas is a lie. 0.92
00:27:28.000 Of course it's going to be taken by Hamas. 1.00
00:27:31.000 And that's what Hamas has been doing for literally decades. 0.86
00:27:33.000 Another piece, in the last few days from NBC News, quote, The unemployment rate in Gaza is 47%.
00:27:38.000 More than 80% of its population lives in poverty.
00:27:41.000 Hamas, however, has funded an armed force of thousands equipped with rockets and drones and built a vast web of tunnels under Gaza.
00:27:47.000 Estimates of its annual military budget range from $100 million to $350 million.
00:27:52.000 As the U.S.
00:27:53.000 House and Senate will be asking in separate hearings Wednesday and Thursday, where does all that cash come from?
00:27:58.000 Hamas has filled its coffers with hundreds of millions in international aid, overt and covert injections of cash from Iran, and other ideological partners.
00:28:06.000 Much of the money is public and legal, including large financial aid from Qatar via the UN.
00:28:14.000 By the way, how much money does Hamas have on hand?
00:28:17.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:28:19.000 Hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:28:22.000 Maybe billions.
00:28:23.000 One thing reported here by NBC News is that Hamas has a wide portfolio.
00:28:29.000 So they've really diversified.
00:28:31.000 Hamas' leadership has invested its income in an international investment portfolio worth $500 million in real estate and other assets from companies in Algeria, Saudi, Sudan, Turkey, and the UAE, which it uses to conceal and launder its money, according to a Treasury announcement.
00:28:45.000 Hamas also supplements its income with various criminal enterprises.
00:28:49.000 For example, Hamas has a presence in the tri-border area of South America, a region along Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina, known as a haven for terrorist and transnational criminal organizations.
00:28:59.000 There, Hamas participates in drugs, arms, and people smuggling.
00:29:03.000 So, naturally, this is all Israel's fault, right? 1.00
00:29:06.000 The ceasefire is so that Israel can take care of the humanitarian situation.
00:29:09.000 Now, I just have a question.
00:29:11.000 Please name the last war.
00:29:12.000 A war for the survival of a state.
00:29:14.000 Please name the last war in which the chief question was what happens to the civilians who are under the control of the opposing side.
00:29:22.000 Did you hear this at all in the aftermath of 9-11?
00:29:24.000 How do we open a humanitarian corridor to Kabul?
00:29:27.000 Did you hear this during the war in Iraq?
00:29:28.000 How do we open a humanitarian corridor into Baghdad?
00:29:31.000 War was the first order of business. 0.99
00:29:32.000 You destroy their capacity to make war.
00:29:35.000 If you wish to win a war, that's the only thing that you can do.
00:29:39.000 But again, the goal is not here to protect Palestinian civilians in the end, because again, none of these groups have cared about the predations against Palestinian civilians for 20 years.
00:29:47.000 The goal here is to use the Palestinian civilians the way Hamas wants them used, as press to stop Israel from deposing Hamas.
00:29:52.000 It's that simple.
00:29:53.000 That's all that's happening.
00:29:55.000 Well, that case is taking the form of large-scale rallies backed by your favorite left-wing sources.
00:30:00.000 So remember that time when everyone on the left suggested that if you said the name George Soros, this meant you were an anti-Semite?
00:30:07.000 It didn't mean you were an anti-Semite. 0.95
00:30:09.000 George Soros is terrible. 0.99
00:30:10.000 He's a terrible person who believes terrible things and funds terrible clauses. 0.60
00:30:14.000 According to the New York Post, George Soros has funneled more than $15 million since 2016 to groups behind pro-Palestine protests where demonstrators openly cheer Hamas A New York Post examination of Open Society Foundation's records shows Soros' grant-making network gave $13.7 million through the Tides Center.
00:30:34.000 A deep-pocketed lefty advocacy group sponsoring several non-profits who have justified Hamas while claiming Palestinians obsessed with the eradication of the Jewish state are the real victims.
00:30:43.000 And this is George Soros' money.
00:30:44.000 include Illinois-based Adalah Justice Project, which the day of the October 7th massacre
00:30:48.000 posted a photo on Instagram of a bulldozer tearing down part of Israel's border fence
00:30:52.000 in a caption, quote, Israeli colonizers believed they could indefinitely
00:30:55.000 trap 2 million people in an open air prison, no cage goes unchallenged.
00:30:58.000 And this is George Soros' money.
00:31:02.000 George Soros has given money to Jewish Voice for Peace, and if not now, both radical left-wing organizations
00:31:08.000 that do not represent Jews in any serious way, and side with Hamas.
00:31:13.000 So criticizing George Soros is not only not antisemitism, it is philo-Semitism,
00:31:19.000 because he backs every antisemitic cause that apparently he can find.
00:31:23.000 If you're wondering, by the way, how these giant rallies have snapped into place all the way across the nation and beyond, the reason is because there's an entire network of people who are basically professional protesters, and all you have to do is snap that intersectional coalition into place, and you make a call, and suddenly you got hundreds, if not hundreds of thousands of protesters in the streets.
00:31:38.000 We'll get to the protesters in the United States, because it wasn't just in London, over the weekend first.

00:32:54.000 So as you know, a lot of people out there who want to indoctrinate your kids into left-wing values

00:33:27.000 Okay, meanwhile.
00:33:28.000 Well, if you've ever wondered why these giant protests are able to break out in a moment's notice, the answer is there's an entire class of professional protesters who are able to whip people into a frenzy and then get them out in fully intersectional fashion.
00:33:38.000 The decolonization effort goes worldwide.
00:33:42.000 And you can get people with trans-Palestinian flags to show up at these rallies because, again, they all share a common interest, which is to tear down the institutions of the West. 0.82
00:33:50.000 Big rally in Los Angeles over the weekend.
00:33:52.000 Again, it's here in the United States.
00:33:53.000 Look at the size of this rally in favor of Hamas.
00:33:55.000 Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now! Ceasefire now!
00:34:03.000 They're chanting ceasefire now on behalf of Hamas, of course.
00:34:06.000 Because, again, the ceasefire benefits Hamas. 0.88
00:34:08.000 That's the whole point of Hamas calling for the ceasefire.
00:34:10.000 I didn't see them calling for a ceasefire, by the way, when Hamas was firing rockets into Israel.
00:34:14.000 It's only when Israel retaliates that suddenly the ceasefire crowd gets all happy. 0.98
00:34:18.000 Meanwhile, over in Brooklyn, massive rally.
00:34:21.000 Calls to destroy Israel happening on the Brooklyn Bridge.
00:34:24.000 Here's what that looked like.
00:34:26.000 See, here they are on the Brooklyn Bridge.
00:34:31.000 And, of course, they're chanting things like, from the river to sea, Palestine will be free. 0.99
00:34:36.000 Again, that is a genocidal call for the murder of every Jew. 0.97
00:34:40.000 That is what that means. 0.97
00:34:42.000 Union Square in New York City was taken over by these protesters as well.
00:34:46.000 They look like a great bunch.
00:34:47.000 Great bunch of folks.
00:34:58.000 Hey, hey, ho, ho, the occupation's got to go.
00:35:00.000 Gaza was given to the control of Hamas in 2006.
00:35:04.000 In 2005, Israel pulled out.
00:35:05.000 And then the Palestinians promptly elected a terror group.
00:35:08.000 And it's just amazing, solid stuff there from our protesters.
00:35:11.000 Meanwhile, pro-Hamas protesters stormed the field at a USC versus Cal football game, which is a great way to annoy Americans. 0.72
00:35:18.000 Here they were sitting on the 50-yard line.
00:35:21.000 Where's security?
00:35:22.000 Seriously, just pick them up and move them.
00:35:25.000 Just pick them up and move them.
00:35:26.000 Why the hell is security just standing there allowing this nonsense? 1.00
00:35:30.000 Pathetic stupidity. 1.00
00:35:32.000 Meanwhile, over at Columbia University, again, these are all of our moral betters, a bunch of professors. 1.00
00:35:36.000 We are talking Catherine Frank, the professor of law, James Eldor, professor of law, Rashid Khalidi, who, of course, you will recall from being the person who used to give toasts for Barack Obama that are then buried by the media.
00:35:47.000 That was supposed to be a big story in 2008.
00:35:49.000 Rashida Khalidi was very good friends with Barack Obama.
00:35:51.000 And he gave a toast to Barack Obama, basically declaring him an ally of the PLO.
00:35:54.000 And that got buried by the media.
00:35:56.000 Gray Tuttle, Luce Professor of Modern Tibet at Columbia.
00:35:58.000 Jack Halberstam, Professor of Humanities at Columbia.
00:36:01.000 And dozens of other professors.
00:36:02.000 We're talking about probably over a hundred professors and associate professors over at Columbia.
00:36:07.000 They signed a letter.
00:36:09.000 An open letter that blames Israel entirely for the situation.
00:36:12.000 Quote, the most recent devastating violence in Israel and Gaza that began on October 7th has had a very disturbing reverberation on our campus.
00:36:18.000 For all of us, students, faculty, staff, and the larger Columbia community.
00:36:21.000 Oh, it's devastating violence in Israel and Gaza that began on October 7th.
00:36:25.000 Oh, the violence in Gaza began on October 7th.
00:36:27.000 Oh wait, no it didn't.
00:36:28.000 The violence in Israel began when Hamas murdered 1,500 people in the worst terror attack in a generation.
00:36:34.000 We write now, say these professors, to express grave concerns about how some of our students are being viciously targeted with doxing, public shaming, surveillance by members of our community, including other students, reprisals from employers.
00:36:45.000 What are they angry about?
00:36:46.000 They're angry that people are filming some of these students ripping down posters of kidnapped kids.
00:36:50.000 That's why they're mad.
00:36:51.000 They're mad that certain employers might not want to hire a terror supporter.
00:36:54.000 That's why they're upset. 0.97
00:36:57.000 They quote Desmond Tutu saying, quote, who of course is a moral moron when it comes to the Middle East and has been forever. 0.87
00:37:09.000 I mean, this guy was literally meeting with Yasser Arafat in the 1980s. 0.88
00:37:13.000 Jimmy Carter saying that Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is even worse than South Africa, which is an absurdity on the highest possible level.
00:37:23.000 The statement concludes with the demand that Columbia University Reverse the decision to create curricular and research programs in Israel.
00:37:30.000 So that's what they want.
00:37:31.000 They have a series of demands.
00:37:33.000 And what they want is to recontextualize the events of October 7th.
00:37:37.000 They want to end all investment in Israel.
00:37:41.000 And then they say, we agree that making such claims cannot and should not be considered anti-Semitic.
00:37:45.000 Yeah, I want to hear that from Rashid Khalidi.
00:37:47.000 Former PR person for the PLO.
00:37:50.000 Makes perfect sense.
00:37:51.000 I feel like these people are very, very well qualified to speak on anti-Semitism.
00:37:55.000 All of them.
00:37:57.000 Like Rebecca Jordan Young.
00:37:59.000 Ann Whitney Olin, Professor of Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies at Barnard.
00:38:03.000 That seems like a person who's... When I think of sources on antisemitism and what is and isn't antisemitic, that's who I think of. 0.97
00:38:09.000 I don't know about you.
00:38:09.000 Those are people I think of.
00:38:11.000 Columbia University continues to be absolutely blind.
00:38:13.000 Meanwhile, over at Cornell, violent threats were made sufficient to essentially shut down the Kosher Dining Hall and the Center for Jewish Living.
00:38:22.000 According to media, police were on the scene and investigating at Cornell's Center for Jewish Living.
00:38:26.000 After heinous threats to the building and Jewish students were posted online.
00:38:30.000 Screenshots at social media Sunday of heinous messages posted in a Cornell University discussion forum over the weekend.
00:38:36.000 Calling for the murder of Jewish students and making specific threats. 1.00
00:38:39.000 Quote, if I see another Jew on campus, if I see a pig male Jew, I will stab you and slit your throat. 1.00
00:38:44.000 If I see another pig female Jew, I will drag you and rape you and throw you off a cliff. 1.00
00:38:47.000 If I see another pig baby Jew, I will behead you in front of your parents. 1.00
00:38:49.000 If I see another synagogue, another rally for the Zionist globalist genocide apartheid dictatorial entity known as Israel, I will bring an assault rifle to campus and shoot all you pig Jews. 1.00
00:38:56.000 Jews are human animals and deserve a pig's death. 1.00
00:38:58.000 Liberation by any means from the river to the sea. 1.00
00:39:01.000 Palestine will be free.
00:39:04.000 So the Hillel Center had to warn students to stay away for their own safety.
00:39:09.000 Great stuff happening over there at Cornell.
00:39:11.000 Cornell also was met with a bunch of graffiti on the streets, including F-Israel, Free Palestine, Zionism equals genocide, and all the rest.
00:39:19.000 This comes shortly after one of their professors declared the October 7th terror attack on Israel exhilarating and energizing.
00:39:27.000 So, solid stuff happening over at Cornell University as well. 0.98
00:39:29.000 Again, are universities garbage heaps? 1.00
00:39:32.000 They continue to be garbage heaps. 0.99
00:39:33.000 Okay, on the international level, one of the reasons why you're seeing so much international support for Hamas is because there are regimes that see backing Hamas as a way to strike against the Western coalition, particularly the United States. 0.99
00:39:44.000 Hamas's leadership, by the way, openly admits this.
00:39:47.000 So, Hamas, their leader, Danny Machal told Egyptian TV, quote, Russia benefited from our attack because we diverted the Americans' attention from them and Ukraine.
00:39:56.000 They said they'll teach the October 7th attack in their military academies.
00:39:58.000 The Chinese said it's a model and they'll do the same thing to Taiwan. 0.97
00:40:01.000 Again, weakness in the face of terrorism breeds contempt from the world's worst, worst people.
00:40:09.000 Meanwhile, China is looking to intervene.
00:40:12.000 They have ratcheted up the anti-Semitism on places like TikTok.
00:40:16.000 China Daily ran an editorial on Monday declaring the United States was, quote, on the wrong side of history in Gaza.
00:40:21.000 It said Washington was exacerbating the conflict by blindly backing Israel.
00:40:24.000 You know, we've seen this movie again.
00:40:25.000 This is exactly what happened in the 1960s after the Six-Day War.
00:40:28.000 During the Six-Day War, The Soviet Union flipped on Israel.
00:40:32.000 Between 48 and 67, they were kind of pro-Israel because they kind of thought maybe Israel was going to be a socialist state.
00:40:36.000 It wasn't.
00:40:37.000 And then, when a pan-Arab movement rose up to try and destroy the state of Israel, the Soviets sided with the pan-Arab movement in a hope to try and create alliances and oil access for the Soviet Union, and they started propagating the myth that Israel was an actual colonial extension as opposed to a decolonization effort by the indigenous Jews.
00:40:57.000 You're seeing the same thing now.
00:40:58.000 Basically, for strategic reasons, Russia and China are trying to ally themselves with Iran and with terror groups across the region and with radicalized Muslims worldwide. 0.64
00:41:08.000 Hu Zhijin, an influential commentator and former editor-in-chief to the Global Times, which is a Communist Party newspaper, responded to hawkish statements from an Israeli minister directed at Hezbollah, writing, quote, Oh, calm down, Israel.
00:41:18.000 I'm worried you'll wipe the earth out of the solar system.
00:41:21.000 Again, China is not being shy about who they back in this particular conflict. 0.69
00:41:25.000 Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is literally hosting Hamas at the Kremlin.
00:41:30.000 So, he sees an avenue for exacerbating tensions in the region, maybe drawing American resources away from Ukraine and toward what's going on in the Middle East.
00:41:41.000 And so, Putin personally met with the leadership of Hamas at the Kremlin.
00:41:46.000 Meanwhile, over in Turkey, Erdogan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is the dictator of Turkey, he's now threatening to declare war on Israel and send the military to Gaza.
00:41:57.000 That is not going to happen, by the way, but he is threatening it.
00:41:59.000 And the reason he's threatening that, obviously, is because he would like to be part of this Russian-Chinese axis that is forming up in the Middle East.
00:42:06.000 Here's some pictures of a rally in Istanbul.
00:42:08.000 Obviously, the government is behind rallies like this one as well in Istanbul.
00:42:11.000 We'll look at the size of this rally.
00:42:18.000 Hey, look at the size of that rally.
00:42:20.000 That rally, of course, is in favor of Hamas. 0.80
00:42:23.000 Erdogan is accusing Israel of carrying out war crimes in Gaza, which is amazing. 1.00
00:42:26.000 Being accused by the Turks of carrying out war crimes.
00:42:29.000 Amazing stuff.
00:42:29.000 Compared the country's actions to the Nazi genocide against the Jews.
00:42:32.000 Ah, yes, that old slander.
00:42:34.000 So, solid stuff happening.
00:42:35.000 So, what should America do?
00:42:37.000 America should back our ally.
00:42:38.000 America should back the moral party in this conflict.
00:42:40.000 And America should be quite muscular in doing so.
00:42:43.000 America should push Iran off the ball. 1.00
00:42:44.000 America should make clear that when terrorist groups attack American allies, that we are going to back those American allies.
00:42:51.000 The good news is, America can do that on the cheap.
00:42:53.000 It doesn't cost America all that much money to do that.
00:42:55.000 All Israel wants is to be resupplied and wants its hands uncuffed to take out Hamas. 0.96
00:42:59.000 That's it.
00:43:00.000 That's all they want.
00:43:01.000 And here's the thing, I think Americans resonate to that.
00:43:03.000 So best clip of the weekend comes courtesy of some of our friends in New York.
00:43:07.000 This is just the best clip.
00:43:08.000 It's great.
00:43:09.000 This is America in a nutshell.
00:43:10.000 So what you will see in this clip or here is a Hamas fan tearing down posters of kidnapped kids.
00:43:16.000 This has become a thing all across the country is that fans of Hamas have decided that there really are no hostages or the hostages don't matter even though they're small babies who are currently being held in captivity who will almost certainly be murdered.
00:43:27.000 Why do you rip it off?
00:43:30.000 Put it back! 0.97
00:43:30.000 Why do you rip it off? 0.97
00:43:31.000 Put it back! 0.97
00:43:33.000 Show me what you're holding!
00:43:34.000 Like, full-scale, old-style New Yorker takes offense, and it's pretty great.
00:43:38.000 Why'd you rip it off?
00:43:43.000 Put it back.
00:43:44.000 Why'd you rip it off?
00:43:45.000 Put it back.
00:43:46.000 What?
00:43:47.000 Show me what you're holding.
00:43:48.000 And here's this guy.
00:43:49.000 He ripped, he's ripping down posters from the...
00:43:51.000 What are you doing?
00:43:52.000 And people have been filming this sort of stuff.
00:43:55.000 This is a man with a beard, no mustache.
00:43:59.000 I'm a veteran.
00:44:00.000 I'm telling you.
00:44:01.000 I'm not Jewish. 0.55
00:44:03.000 He's not Jewish. 0.96
00:44:04.000 I don't know if he is or not.
00:44:06.000 It doesn't matter.
00:44:07.000 This is New York City.
00:44:09.000 You don't have a right to touch this.
00:44:10.000 This is a free country. 0.98
00:44:12.000 You can wave your Palestine flag and say death to the Jews or America whenever you want, but we can put a sign. 0.97
00:44:19.000 Then don't rip that down. 0.98
00:44:20.000 You are doing something.
00:44:21.000 You're offending us.
00:44:25.000 Well, that guy has a free Shabbos dinner on me anytime he wants it.
00:44:40.000 I think most Americans think like that.
00:44:41.000 By the way, better expression of free speech than everyone on college campus.
00:44:44.000 You have a right to say whatever you want, but if you start ripping down those posters, you start doing that, I'll litter the floor with you.
00:44:49.000 Like that's, that's pretty, that's pretty classic New York.
00:44:51.000 And not only is it classic New York, that used to be what America's, I think that's still what America is made of.
00:44:56.000 If it weren't for the decolonization coalition out there that stands for Hamas. 0.94
00:45:01.000 By the way, you can see how fast this guy backs down the minute that he's confronted by somebody who actually muscularly is saying no.
00:45:06.000 Hey, that's a pretty good microcosm of how international politics actually works.
00:45:10.000 People are very, very easy about violating Western morality because they think that the Westerners are going to do nothing but stand by and tape them.
00:45:17.000 And the minute they're confronted, all of a sudden they get real shy.
00:45:20.000 And that's exactly what happens in that clip.
00:45:22.000 Okay, in just one second, we'll get to some breaking news in the presidential race.
00:45:27.000 First, Boncharge.
00:45:28.000 It's a holistic wellness brand with a huge range of evidence-based products to optimize your life in every way.
00:45:32.000 The products help you sleep better, perform better, recover faster, reduce inflammation, and so much more.
00:45:36.000 From blue light glasses to red light therapy, Boncharge products help you naturally address the issues of our modern-day way of life effortlessly and with maximum impact.
00:45:44.000 If you haven't already checked out the infrared sauna blanket from Boncharge, you need to right now.
00:45:49.000 I've been using it.
00:45:49.000 It's great.
00:45:50.000 Basically, it's like a sauna in a blanket.
00:45:52.000 It works by using infrared light, which heats the body directly rather than the air around you like a traditional sauna, which means you get the same benefits at a lower heat.

00:46:30.000 Okay, meanwhile, on the presidential side of the aisle, the Republican Party continues to have a pretty not contested primary.
00:46:38.000 I mean, if you look at the polling data right now, this is not a particularly close election.
00:46:42.000 In the national polling averages, I know it's been a while, but in the national polling averages, Donald Trump is currently up 59 to 13.
00:46:48.000 Over Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley at 8%, Vivek Ramaswamy at 4.5%.
00:46:52.000 In Iowa, Trump running a similarly large lead.
00:46:55.000 The latest Iowa State Civics Poll has Trump up 55 to 17.
00:46:59.000 Over DeSantis, Haley at 11, Ramaswamy at 5, Scott at 4.
00:47:03.000 Well, the field needs to consolidate because the reality is that Trump has such a large lead right now that And unless there is some sort of consolidation, he's just going to walk through the field pretty obviously, whatever else his foibles.
00:47:13.000 And given the fact that the world right now is on fire and that the world was not on fire when Donald Trump was president, his case to be president of the United States again is pretty easy, which is shut the hell up and point at the guy who's the president.
00:47:25.000 Again, that's a pretty easy case for Donald Trump to make.
00:47:28.000 That's seriously all he has to do.
00:47:29.000 Even if he's bogged down now, you know, I was, listen, I was doubtful that a guy bogged down with four separate trials over the course of an election cycle was going to have an amazing shot at victory.
00:47:41.000 But I may have underestimated just how bad a president Joe Biden is.
00:47:44.000 So Joe Biden is really, really bad at this, and it turns out that he's basically set everything on fire.
00:47:49.000 And so if Donald Trump just walks back into the room, like Donald Glover from that outtake from Community, that meme from Community where he walks in and everybody's on fire, then he might become president again.
00:47:59.000 Well, one of the ways the field is consolidating is that Mike Pence has just dropped out.
00:48:02.000 So Mike Pence is really not running a campaign for president.
00:48:05.000 He's really running a campaign to justify What he did on January 6th, which is to stand up for the Constitution.
00:48:12.000 Mike Pence did the right thing on January 6th.
00:48:13.000 He did not have the right or the obligation under the Constitution of the United States to reject state-certified electoral votes.
00:48:19.000 That was not something that was called for by the Constitution of the United States.
00:48:22.000 He was speaking at the annual Republican-Jewish convention in Las Vegas.
00:48:29.000 And he announced that this was not his time.
00:48:31.000 He said he was going to suspend his campaign for president effective today.
00:48:35.000 And then he gave a bit of a speech talking about what he hopes the future of the Republican Party is.
00:48:40.000 And here is Pence.
00:48:42.000 Will Republicans continue to be the party of the traditional conservatives that has defined our movement over the past 40 years?
00:48:54.000 Or will our party follow the siren song of populism unmoored to conservative principles?
00:49:03.000 As war rages in Eastern Europe and Israel, and China continues its provocations in the Asia-Pacific, a new populist movement in the Republican Party says that America should retreat from her leadership position, turn inward and focus solely on domestic concerns.
00:49:29.000 I don't have to tell people gathered here that there are powerful voices within and outside our party that say we have to choose between supporting our allies and solving problems here at home.
00:49:43.000 Let me say from my heart, Anyone who says that America cannot solve our problems at home and be the leader of the free world has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth.
00:49:58.000 So that was Pence's case, and the reality is that Pence's case has now been taken up by pretty much the entire field.
00:50:03.000 There's a bit of exaggeration that's now going on inside the Republican field.
00:50:06.000 So there's people who are saying, oh, there's a lot of isolationists inside.
00:50:09.000 Donald Trump was not an isolationist president.
00:50:11.000 Donald Trump did not get us into any new wars because he was muscular on foreign policy.
00:50:16.000 Because if you messed with him, you didn't know if he was going to fire a missile at you.
00:50:19.000 You screw with him enough and he kills Qasem Soleimani. 0.53
00:50:22.000 Meanwhile, he's out there cutting deal with the Saudis.
00:50:24.000 That is not a non-interventionist foreign policy.
00:50:26.000 That is a muscular peace through strength foreign policy that is, in fact, very reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's foreign policy.
00:50:33.000 For all the talk about Donald Trump being wildly conciliatory toward Russia, his policies on Russia were significantly harsher than Barack Obama's were.
00:50:39.000 Barack Obama literally cut a deal with Dimitri Medvedev literally on camera in the run-up to the 2012 election.
00:50:47.000 So there's a feeling inside the Republican Party that's largely driven by the media and by social media that there are these huge gaps in terms of foreign policy.
00:50:54.000 I don't think that's actually true.
00:50:56.000 And with that said, listen, I think that Pence is a good man.
00:51:00.000 I like Mike Pence.
00:51:00.000 I know Mike Pence.
00:51:01.000 And I think that his service to the country Was well worthwhile and excellent as vice president.
00:51:07.000 And yes, I think, of course, he did the right thing in January of 2021 by not delaying the certification of the election illegally.
00:51:15.000 Alrighty, guys, the rest of the show is about to continue right now.
