00:00:11.000So, this particular controversy surrounds something that I said at the University of Texas at Austin.
00:00:18.000So, at the University of Texas at Austin, a kid got up, student, wearing a shirt that said Jesus is King, which is cool.
00:00:26.000And he asked why I don't convert to Christianity.
00:00:30.000And in the course of that explanation, I explained after explaining that, listen, I believe my Judaism with precisely the same fervor that he believes his Christianity.
00:00:38.000And so, if I asked him, what would it take for you to convert away from Christianity?
00:00:41.000I assume he would say pretty much nothing could get you to do it, which is the same thing that I believe about my own religion.
00:00:47.000I believe the things that I actually believe.
00:00:49.000But then I got into a broader discussion about the fact that Jews are not asking Christians to convert to Judaism.
00:00:58.000We actually encourage people not to convert to Judaism.
00:01:34.000I want Christians to be more Christian, not less.
00:01:36.000Now, as to the reasons why I am not a Christian, so obviously Judaism says, unlike your shirt, right?
00:01:42.000I mean, Judaism, one of the distinguishing differences between Judaism and Christianity is that Judaism does not believe in the divinity of Jesus, obviously.
00:01:49.000And when people ask what it would take for me to embrace Christianity, it isn't that I think poorly of Christianity, it's that I actually believe in the things that I believe in.
00:01:59.000Okay, so I believe in my own religion just as passionately as you believe in Christianity.
00:02:03.000It is not as though I feel a lack of Christianity in my life, and therefore, if you just Sell me on Christianity harder, I'm going to move to Christianity.
00:02:12.000I believe in a full system that belongs to my people and that I'm convinced of in the same way that you're convinced of your own religion.
00:02:21.000So it's not just a matter of you selling good arguments on Jesus, it would be a matter of me abandoning core arguments that I already believe about God and about Judaism.
00:02:32.000Okay, so in the course of this, I explain Jewish beliefs about other religions because Judaism is a non exclusivist religion.
00:02:39.000Jews believe that Judaism is for Jews, and you are not obligated in any of the commandments that the Jews are obligated in.
00:02:45.000And Jews believe, right, like the Jewish faith believes that you go to heaven as long as you fulfill seven basic laws, what are called the Noahide laws.
00:02:52.000These are very basic things that all Christians, with very few exceptions, fulfill just by dint of the fact that they practice their religion.0.66
00:03:00.000These would be do not worship idols, don't blaspheme or curse God, don't murder, don't engage in prohibited sexual relations like adultery and incest, don't steal.
00:03:09.000Don't take, don't eat flesh from a living animal, establish courts of justice, right?
00:03:12.000These are like the basic Noahide laws.
00:03:14.000And again, I think most people listening are like, yeah, I do all those things.
00:03:23.000Like, this started going around online.
00:03:26.000And people started claiming that I want you to not believe in Jesus if you're Christian.
00:03:31.000And not only that, that I think that you must abandon your religion and become, quote unquote, a Noahide.
00:03:36.000This ignores the end of the clip where I literally said, this is a direct quote, quote, I think you're doing a great job by believing in Jesus.0.98
00:03:46.000I think you should continue to go to church.
00:03:47.000I think you should continue to speak out about your faith.
00:03:49.000I think Christianity in America needs a resurgence, and that's the greatest factor that will lead to a revitalized America.
00:03:54.000That is literally how I ended that exchange.
00:03:58.000Now, again, this entire fake controversy went crazy online because some liar named Chris Menahan put out a tweet that had millions and millions of views.
00:04:09.000It said Ben Shapiro urges TPUSA crowds to abide by the Noahide laws.
00:04:28.000So, Jimmy Dory, who's a fake comedian who spends most of his days speculating about how Erica Kirk murdered her husband, he had on Tucker Carlson, who we'll get into in just a moment.
00:04:39.000And he basically went into an old school anti Semitic rant about how Jews are in favor of genocide.
00:04:46.000You know, one of those Noahide laws is against idolatry, which a lot of people interpret that they say that if you worship Jesus, that's idolatry.
00:04:57.000And here's one more reason why he doesn't want you to look into those 613 laws is because on 611 is always to remember what Amalek did, that the evil done to us by Amalek shall not be forgiven, and to destroy the seed of Amalek.0.88
00:05:13.000So that would probably be a big reason why he doesn't want you to look into those 613 rules because that means wiping out and genocide.0.53
00:05:25.000Okay, so number one, feel free to look into all 613 rules.
00:05:28.000Most of them are really, really, really boring.
00:05:30.000Second of all, if we're going to talk about Amalek, which is how it's pronounced, not Amalek, Amalek, you're going to read the Hebrew.0.83
00:05:35.000You're talking about a specific tribe at a specific time.
00:05:38.000It is mentioned in the book of Exodus, right?
00:05:50.000And in Jewish thought, Amalek has not been a discernible nation for some thousands of years.
00:05:57.000In fact, when people speak colloquially about Amalek in the Jewish community, they're talking about people.0.99
00:06:02.000Are legitimately the most evil anti Semites.0.99
00:06:04.000So, for example, you might hear a Jew say that Hitler was Amalek, or you might hear people say that Hamas is Amalek, meaning like Hamas leaders are evil and want to kill Jews.0.99
00:06:16.000That does not mean there's a genetic test that you can do for Amalek that requires you to wipe out an entire people.0.98
00:06:23.000And of course, I wouldn't expect Jimmy Doerr to know anything because he's an idiot.1.00
00:06:27.000But then Tucker Carlson jumps in on the fun saying that it's because of the Amalek thing that Jews and Israelis, he uses them interchangeably.0.99
00:06:35.000Lost all of their empathy for other people.
00:06:37.000Reasons I spent a lot of my life, you know, criticizing, attacking the Israeli leadership, but I'm maybe less judgmental than some people in that I don't think it's, you know, I don't think it's just Jews who do this.
00:06:53.000You talk yourself into this hysteria about the threats you face and we're, you know, we're facing extinction because of our freedoms or whatever story, dumb lie you tell yourself.0.51
00:07:04.000And the next thing you know, you lose all empathy for other people.
00:07:09.000Because when you feel you're under threat, you don't care about anybody else.
00:07:13.000When you feel that you're the victim, you can extend no grace.
00:08:02.000I kind of like the previous arrangement we had in this country, where, which was the WASP arrangement, where we didn't sort of press people on their religious views.
00:08:09.000We could all kind of live in peace.0.56
00:08:10.000It didn't always work, but it worked pretty well, really, most of the time.
00:08:14.000Um, but now that you have people like Ben Shapiro.
00:08:17.000Screeching on about Sharia, Sharia is the threat, Sharia is the real threat.
00:08:23.000They're mad that Sharia bans usury, obviously.
00:08:25.000But, like, I don't want to live under Sharia, I'm a Christian.
00:08:28.000But as long as we're so opposed to Sharia, here's a guy proposing a legal code in which my religion would be illegal.
00:08:34.000And according to Maimonides, who I think is a pretty good authority on it, I think, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Christianity would qualify as idolatry because Jesus is certainly not considered a God in Judaism.
00:08:46.000In fact, it's very offensive even to use his name.
00:08:50.000In a lot of quarters in Israel, in modern Israel.
00:08:52.000So, like, that would reduce Christians to a second class status or criminal status, punishable by behavior.0.75
00:09:00.000So, I'm just going to point out Sharia law literally requires everyone to abide by Sharia law.0.78
00:09:05.000Jewish law requires no one except Jews to abide by Jewish law.
00:09:08.000Also, being quoted Maimonides by Tucker Carlson, my dude, I would love to hear his explication of Guide to the Perplexed.
00:09:19.000If we're going to talk about people who routinely behead Christians, by the way, there is a group on earth that actually does routinely behead Christians.0.91
00:11:02.000And stop the left wing socialist takeover of the United States, paid for by SLF PAC, not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee.
00:11:15.000But I'm just going to, I'll do it for the sake of just clarity.
00:11:18.000I don't know how many times I have to say it over and over.
00:11:20.000For a guy who apparently wants to behead all the Christians, I sure spend a lot of time telling people that they should go believe in Jesus if they're Christian and then go to church.
00:11:28.000I spend an awful lot of time doing that, like a lot.0.84
00:11:32.000Here is just a brief montage of me doing that only a couple million times here.
00:12:28.000And the second people stand up and start attacking Sharia law and Islam, not radical Islam, not Al Qaeda, I get it, I'm opposed.
00:12:36.000But two billion Muslims on the basis of their religion, like, I'm.1.00
00:12:40.000I couldn't find that more disgusting.1.00
00:12:42.000And I've like basically kind of blown up my life because I'm now an Islam defender when, of course, I'm not a Muslim and I'm not going to become a Muslim.1.00
00:12:50.000But even more, I disagree with attacking faithful people who are minding their own business, worshiping their own God and bothering no one else, attacking them for their religion.0.98
00:13:37.000I mean, and by the way, if we're going to speak about American history and exclusivism in American history, the truth is that actually nine of the 13 original colonies barred Catholics from holding higher office.
00:13:47.000Like, the truth of America is interesting and complex.0.50
00:13:49.000But this idea that I am somehow the religious exclusivist, while he talks about how Judaism is a religion that promotes genocide based on literally nothing and defends Sharia law, which, by the way, under Islam, is dictated.
00:14:03.000There is Dar al Islam and there is Dar al Harb.0.59
00:14:06.000Dar al Islam is the area ruled by Islam.0.93
00:14:08.000And then the rest is called Dar al Harb.1.00
00:14:48.000If Republicans lose the Senate this November, it will largely be because of Tucker Carlson.
00:14:53.000I'm going to tell you about a compare contrast over the past couple of weeks, what I have been doing versus what Tucker Carlson has been doing.
00:15:01.000So last week, I traveled to two battleground states, Texas and Iowa, with TPUSA to urge young people to go out and vote and hit the streets and vote against the Democrats.
00:15:12.000By the way, again, I did this in 2024 as well.
00:15:15.000I campaigned with Tim Sheehy in Montana.
00:15:22.000And also with Sam Brown in Nevada and Eric Hovde in Wisconsin.
00:15:26.000I held a fundraiser for Trump down here at Trump Doral.
00:15:29.000I did a campaign photo op with him in New York's Jewish community.
00:15:33.000Last week, we put out a full explainer on YouTube about James Tallarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas.
00:15:39.000It currently has over half a million views.
00:15:40.000It is likely the highest traffic expose of Tallarico on all of YouTube.
00:15:45.000We are dropping another one about Abdulrahman El Sayed this weekend.
00:15:49.000We're going to keep doing that all the way until the election about the other horrible Senate Democratic candidates in battleground states.
00:15:55.000You listen to the show, so you know I've devoted pretty much every show for months explaining why it is important for Democrats to lose in the midterms and why people who actually love America should vote against them in critical races.
00:16:05.000Meanwhile, Tucker is out there with a D list pseudo comedian, outright lying about Judaism, saying Sharia law is fine, defending Vladimir Putin.
00:16:12.000Oh, yes, and also, by the way, defending various Democratic candidates, including openly Abdurrahman El Sayed in Michigan.
00:16:20.000Tucker is openly endorsing El Sayed, saying he would not vote for Mike Rogers, the Republican, at gunpoint.
00:16:26.000I wouldn't vote for Mike Rogers at gunpoint.0.82
00:16:28.000I mean, there's no one who should be farther from a position of power than Mike Rogers.0.56
00:16:33.000And of course, he's come out and defended El Sayed personally.
00:16:36.000He's also spent months defending openly Zorhan Mamdani.0.51
00:16:39.000And Graham Plattner as the Nazi tattoo guy up in Maine, and other psychotic Democrats.
00:16:43.000He called the president of the United States the Antichrist and then lied about it openly.0.76
00:17:28.000The Tucker Carlson of Fox News no longer exists.
00:17:30.000I know there are a lot of people who still like Tucker because they remember when Tucker had producers and an actual management chain at Fox News that stopped him from running headlong off the psycho cliff.
00:17:47.000But everybody ought to disabuse themselves of the notion that he has anything of true value to say about anything happening in this country.
00:17:54.000Let us be real about where things stand.
00:17:55.000Tucker is so enraged that conservative, red blooded Americans don't agree with his conspiratorial and insane musings, and that all the people he keeps endorsing keep losing Thomas Massey in Kentucky, or James Fishbeck in Florida, or Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia, or Paul Danz, or Ryan Zinke, or Aaron Puke, all finished in failure in their primaries.
00:18:13.000He wants the Republican Party burned down.
00:18:15.000He wants it burned down, and then he can try to make something out of the ashes.
00:18:19.000And so that means that in this Senate election, he's doing everything he can to run a full scale demoralization.
00:18:28.000There are plenty of people to do it with.0.99
00:18:30.000But if you follow Tucker Carlson's advice and the Democrats win because you stay home because the Republicans are just a part of the nefarious conspiracy, you're part of the problem, just as Tucker Carlson is part of the problem.0.97
