00:00:38.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:39.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:41.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:45.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:00:48.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:00:49.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:00:50.000 His spirit, his love of this country.
00:00:52.000 He's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:59.000 We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:01:07.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:11.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:19.000 Do you know tomorrow is Election Day in many parts of the country?
00:01:22.000 Ohio, there is a serious ballot referendum issue.
00:01:27.000 Kentucky has a governor's race.
00:01:29.000 It's going to be really tight.
00:01:30.000 Kentucky is going to be a tough one.
00:01:32.000 We have also Virginia is the other big one in the Virginia House of Delegates.
00:01:40.000 In addition, I'm going to go vote tomorrow.
00:01:42.000 And Scottsdale has one thing on the ballot, a yes or no vote.
00:01:49.000 You got to show up, everybody.
00:01:51.000 Small, big, local, you got to show up.
00:01:54.000 Big test for Yunkin tomorrow.
00:01:57.000 Big test for the red vest.
00:01:58.000 Joining us now is Citizen Kane from citizenfreepress.com.
00:02:01.000 Kane, lots of talk about, can you just give a quick overview, Election Day tomorrow?
00:02:06.000 We really haven't touched on this nearly enough as we should.
00:02:10.000 What's going on tomorrow, Election Day across America?
00:02:12.000 Well, you mentioned Daniel Cameron.
00:02:14.000 You know, that's a fantastic race and he's a great candidate.
00:02:18.000 And, you know, let's hope that Kentucky voters come through for us there.
00:02:23.000 But as you talk about Virginia, it's huge, right?
00:02:26.000 This is, you know, you and I have talked about early voting for 2024.
00:02:30.000 And Glenn Young is basically doing a test case for us in Virginia.
00:02:34.000 He put out videos.
00:02:35.000 I don't have to tell you this.
00:02:36.000 He put out videos starting about two months ago about how the Republican Party was finally going to embrace early voting and really push it.
00:02:44.000 And he's been doing that now almost every weekend.
00:02:47.000 There have been sort of special events that he's trying to draw people's attention to.
00:02:51.000 And the numbers are, I posted a link in the stack probably a week, 10 days ago that showed that Republicans made up 30 at this point.
00:02:59.000 It was 10 days ago, but it was 36% of all early votes versus about 29% in the previous cycle.
00:03:07.000 So it was the first indication that Yunkin is that he's having some success with this.
00:03:12.000 But as you said, yes, the entire House and the entire House of Delegates in Virginia and the entire Virginia Senate is up for reelection.
00:03:21.000 So this is Yunkin's chance to get a, you know, to get a hat trick, to get a clean sweep in Virginia.
00:03:29.000 And we're going to be covering it, you know, nonstop live tomorrow night.
00:03:34.000 And it's going to be, it's going to be a test.
00:03:36.000 I mean, you know this.
00:03:37.000 It's funny.
00:03:38.000 I say things to you, but you know all of this as well as anyone.
00:03:41.000 It's going to be a test of Democrats abortion strategy.
00:03:44.000 That's basically all they've done in Virginia is try to say that Republicans want to want to take away your right to kill babies.
00:03:51.000 And I think it's a horrible campaign strategy, but we'll find out tomorrow night if it really works.
00:03:59.000 So you've got Virginia.
00:04:01.000 You've got, you mentioned Arizona.
00:04:03.000 So there's all kinds of small states that, you know, people need to be paying attention.
00:04:07.000 Wherever you are, look today and find out if there's something that you need to be voting on tomorrow.
00:04:14.000 And, you know, I'm excited.
00:04:16.000 I have a good feeling about Virginia.
00:04:17.000 I went to, I did my undergrad at the University of Virginia, and my very first job.
00:04:22.000 Yeah, Charlottesville, my very first job was in the Virginia House of Delegates.
00:04:26.000 I was a legislative assistant for a senator from Alexandria who, you know, as an old school Democrat, it's funny.
00:04:34.000 She, I don't know that she, she was, she was Jewish.
00:04:39.000 She was six feet two inches tall.
00:04:40.000 She was a former NCAA basketball player.
00:04:44.000 And I don't think she would recognize the Democratic Party these days.
00:04:48.000 She's passed away at this point.
00:04:50.000 She passed a few years ago, but I think that she would be incredibly embarrassed by what she sees, you know, what she might have seen yesterday on the streets of D.C.
00:05:01.000 So big day tomorrow.
00:05:03.000 Yeah, it's a huge day.
00:05:05.000 And wherever you are, again, I have one thing.
00:05:09.000 I have one thing to vote for, Kane, tomorrow, but I'm still showing up.
00:05:12.000 Okay.
00:05:13.000 I'm going to get up a little early, go to the polling.
00:05:15.000 I love voting on game.
00:05:16.000 I'm a game day guy, but I also want to make sure we're utilizing early voting where possible, especially for next year.
00:05:22.000 We're going to be doing a whole early balloting, chase the vote.
00:05:25.000 We've been talking about this, Kane, right?
00:05:26.000 Turning point action.
00:05:27.000 So let me ask you, Kane, part of the Yonkin, Virginia story unfolding tomorrow, he's been really pushing early voting.
00:05:35.000 To the best of your knowledge, do we have any idea of early balloting returns?
00:05:39.000 Do they publish them in real time in Virginia?
00:05:42.000 Has that been working?
00:05:43.000 Your thoughts, Kane.
00:05:45.000 Yeah, it's so the most recent number, and I've been frantically checking numbers here as I'm on the air with you.
00:05:53.000 The most recent numbers I can find are that 36% of the early ballots have been returned by voters who are registered as Republicans in Virginia.
00:06:03.000 And that 36% compares to 28, 29% ballots had been returned in the 2022 because they've had early voting in Virginia for a while.
00:06:14.000 It's just that Youngin and well, Yunkin wasn't the governor in 2022 and Republicans weren't pushing it.
00:06:20.000 So it's going to be a real test of that.
00:06:24.000 And, you know, you mentioned what early voting in 2024.
00:06:28.000 You know, I'll tip a hat to what Tom, you know, what you guys and TPUSA have done.
00:06:34.000 You know, no one's doing it.
00:06:35.000 You made the point perfectly.
00:06:37.000 You know, the donors to DeSantis, this is going back six months, they're spending $100 million, $150 million on a candidate who has no chance.
00:06:45.000 What percentage of that money should have gone to help building out a get the, you know, a get out the vote effort for Trump in 2024?
00:06:53.000 That's the RNC's responsibility.
00:06:55.000 And it's, you know, Ronna Romney, as I call her, or Ronna McDaniel, has completely sort of abdicated her role there.
00:07:03.000 And TPUSA picked it up.
00:07:05.000 You guys were somehow able to get $5 million to the indefatigable never energy who never ends Scott Pressler and what he's trying to do in Wisconsin.
00:07:17.000 So I feel like, you know, look, hey, let's not get cocky about these New York Times Sienna results in those six swing states.
00:07:24.000 I agree.
00:07:24.000 Got to get to work.
00:07:25.000 Because obviously, yeah, because obviously, you know, Kennedy wasn't in those polls.
00:07:29.000 Cornell West wasn't in those polls.
00:07:31.000 And no label, the no labels ticket wasn't in that poll.
00:07:35.000 So what we need, you know, that's where all the effort needs to go.
00:07:39.000 It's six states, and the RNC should pick up on this immediately and dedicate $5 to $10 million to get out the vote efforts and early voting efforts in all six of those states.
00:07:52.000 Because look, as long as those are the rules, let's play by them and let's win.
00:07:57.000 That's right.
00:07:58.000 Just win, baby.
00:07:59.000 Al Davis, you know, the Raiders.
00:08:01.000 Just win.
00:08:03.000 So, so, Kane, I want to just reiterate it.
00:08:05.000 Look, we're going through a huge fundraising blitz now in the year.
00:08:07.000 Our turning point donors are the best in the country.
00:08:09.000 These guys are America first.
00:08:11.000 They're unbelievable.
00:08:12.000 We have a huge thing coming up about a month at Mar-a-Lago, our big fundraising deal.
00:08:16.000 We'll see how we do.
00:08:17.000 We're going to be raising money for Turning Point USA and Turning Point Action.
00:08:20.000 And, you know, we're an open book.
00:08:21.000 People know where it's going, right?
00:08:22.000 Campus Army, ballot chasing, voter reg on the action side has a more political wrinkle to it.
00:08:28.000 But, Kane, do you think the American grassroots are waking up to the fact that we're going to have to take this one ourselves?
00:08:36.000 It's not going to be the RC, it's not going to be the Republican establishment.
00:08:39.000 It's going to take a grassroots army of precinct committeemen, of ballot chasers.
00:08:43.000 In CFP Nation, what you're seeing at citizenfreepress.com, are you seeing that kind of mindset shift that instead of just watching things from afar and showing up to a rally, we got to go knock on 10 doors a day?
00:08:55.000 Kane?
00:08:55.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:56.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:08:57.000 In fact, there are elected election judges and elected or appointed committeemen who post on the site.
00:09:07.000 And they've been talking about exactly that for close to the last year: that the RNC is simply not showing up and that people have to get involved.
00:09:16.000 It's a lot more than, as you said, showing up to a rally or going out on game day.
00:09:21.000 It's, you know, if you're retired, I've got a big boomer audience.
00:09:24.000 I've got a bunch of retired, you know, thousands, well, not thousands, hundreds of thousands of retired conservative MAGA first voters who read the site.
00:09:34.000 And yes, you know, it's something that I didn't see as we headed into 2020.
00:09:39.000 I don't think there was much preparation and much thought given, and that's switched.
00:09:44.000 And it is going to have to be grassroots.
00:09:47.000 And I would invite everyone listening, especially people at the RNC, to look into what TPUSA and Charlie have done with Scott Pressler in Wisconsin.
00:09:56.000 That is the model for how we can win in all of these swing states.
00:10:00.000 I'm convinced.
00:10:02.000 We are deploying unprecedented time, energy, resources.
00:10:06.000 And not only that, you know, we're in the formulation stages of this.
00:10:09.000 Starting post-Labor Day next fall, I personally, I'm going to go to all these campuses, right?
00:10:15.000 I'm going to go to UW-Madison and riling up the remnant of right-wingers there.
00:10:19.000 I'll be doing all three campuses again in Eric.
00:10:20.000 No, seriously, my whole campus tour is going to be through turning point action next semester.
00:10:26.000 And we're going to be doing some big things.
00:10:27.000 And by the way, Kane, the polling shows this, and on the ground, we will lose by less with young people.
00:10:33.000 We're not going to win young people.
00:10:34.000 We will lose by less.
00:10:36.000 It will be far more competitive, maybe even be within 15 to 20 points.
00:10:39.000 You do that.
00:10:41.000 You could have Mr. Trump beat President 47.
00:10:45.000 Strong cell is amazing.
00:10:47.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
00:10:53.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
00:10:56.000 How do you just keep on pushing?
00:10:57.000 Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
00:11:03.000 Fact-check me on this.
00:11:04.000 You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.
00:11:06.000 Type this into your search engine: NADH.
00:11:10.000 Just type it in.
00:11:11.000 What does it tell you?
00:11:12.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.
00:11:17.000 Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
00:11:20.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
00:11:26.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people, a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
00:11:30.000 It's a fact.
00:11:31.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
00:11:34.000 I take NAD every single day.
00:11:37.000 I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things on it.
00:11:43.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:11:44.000 I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something, but fact-check me.
00:11:47.000 Look at it.
00:11:48.000 And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.
00:11:50.000 I wake up better than ever before.
00:11:53.000 NAD can help you potentially, again, fact check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.
00:12:00.000 It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.
00:12:05.000 You guys can use promo code Charlie for 20% off at strongsell.com slash Charlie.

00:12:21.000 And let me know.

00:12:26.000 Strongsell.com slash Charlie.
00:12:30.000 Kane continues with us.
00:12:31.000 So, Kane, what are the big takeaways also from the poll?
00:12:34.000 Seems like black, Hispanic, and younger voters are defecting from the Democrat Party.
00:12:40.000 Yeah, isn't that fantastic?
00:12:41.000 We've been documenting as documenting it as you have for the past couple of months.
00:12:46.000 I want to say something really quick.
00:12:47.000 Your listeners couldn't hear me, but when you were talking about going to Madison to find the secret conservatives, the reason I chuckled, you know, Charlie, you're from Evanston, the People's Republic of Evanston.
00:12:59.000 I'm from the People's Republic of Bloomington.
00:13:01.000 And then you would, if someone asked us, you know, what's the third most communist college town in the Big Ten?
00:13:08.000 Everybody would raise their hands and say Madison, Wisconsin.
00:13:11.000 So it's a fantastic, you know, and look, even though this is, you know, a Marxist Republic where I live, 30% of the voters are still conservative.
00:13:20.000 And it's the same way, I guarantee in Evanston, and I guarantee it's the same way in Madison.
00:13:25.000 It's sort of the silent conservative majority or minority in these Marxist college towns.
00:13:32.000 So that's why I chuckled because I think it's a great effort.
00:13:37.000 As for getting in the polls, yeah.
00:13:39.000 So look, Trump pulled in, there were different numbers.
00:13:42.000 In 2020, Trump was pulling or got votes from, I think it was 12 to 15% of black males and closer to 6% to 8% of black females.
00:13:52.000 So that was, and those were good numbers.
00:13:55.000 But these New York Times Sienna numbers are outstanding.
00:13:59.000 They're talking about 22% overall of the black vote and 42% of the Hispanic vote plan to vote for President Trump.
00:14:08.000 So that's, you know, you mentioned, hey, if they can get, look, there's so many ways that we can end this.
00:14:13.000 If he gets 22% of the black vote nationwide, it's over, Charlie.
00:14:17.000 You and I both know that.
00:14:19.000 If he gets within 15 points on young people, and that New York Times poll did show a huge shift in young people versus 2020, if he can get that, it's over.
00:14:29.000 If he can get 30% of the liberal Jews who normally vote Democrat to vote Republican, it's over.
00:14:38.000 So all of these things are definitely, you know, it's not where we thought we would be six months ago.
00:14:44.000 Let's put it that way with all these Trump indictments ahead of us.
00:14:47.000 Instead, Trump has handled the indictments.
00:14:49.000 His support has gotten stronger.
00:14:51.000 And now we're seeing all these fissures in the Democrat Party where they're losing black voters.
00:14:55.000 Black voters, look, a lot of these guys are ladies and ladies and gentlemen are pocketbook voters.
00:15:03.000 These are people who are living paycheck to paycheck, and they know that the economy was better under Trump.
00:15:09.000 And I think you're seeing the same thing in the Hispanic community and even more with the Hispanic community, sort of the Republican focus on family and on taking control of the schools and not allowing the grooming that occurs.
00:15:22.000 So all of these trends, I feel like, are positive for Trump.
00:15:26.000 Yeah.
00:15:27.000 So not Pollyanna.
00:15:28.000 Go ahead.
00:15:29.000 No, I just want to, you know, the base really well, Kane.
00:15:32.000 Politico.com and many others saying that Nikki Haley is the one to watch, that there's Haley momentum.
00:15:39.000 Do you think the conservative base has an appetite for Nikki Haley?
00:15:43.000 Everyone, by the way, email me, freedom at charliekirk.com.
00:15:46.000 Your thoughts on Nikki Haley.
00:15:47.000 Citizen Kane.
00:15:48.000 No, they laugh at it, Charlie.
00:15:49.000 It's, I mean, come on, you and I are media guys.
00:15:52.000 So we watch the attempts, the failed attempts that the media makes.
00:15:55.000 And it's so obvious when Fox News did a shift from DeSantis to Nikki Haley about three or four weeks ago with a poll.
00:16:02.000 There's no traction.
00:16:03.000 It's nothing.
00:16:04.000 It's not as though Nikki Haley is gaining anything on the MAGA base.
00:16:08.000 None, none whatsoever.
00:16:09.000 She might be consolidating a few votes that DeSantis has lost, but that's it.
00:16:14.000 There's a ceiling on all of those voters.
00:16:16.000 And it's comical.
00:16:19.000 We don't, you know, I don't think any MAGA voters take it seriously.
00:16:23.000 Let's face it, Trump has gotten stronger in the past two months in terms of his support with the MAGA base, not Uyghur.
00:16:32.000 So it doesn't matter if Nikki Haley goes from 9% to 11 or 9% to 13.
00:16:38.000 It's not going to make any difference.
00:16:40.000 As I've been calling for, if any of these people want to save their political futures, they actually need to drop out before Iowa or immediately after Iowa and say that the party needs to unite behind President Trump, that he's our candidate, that he's leading in the polls.
00:16:55.000 And that's how any, whether it's DeSantis or Nikki Haley or Vivek or any of these people, and Vivek is my favorite of all of them, the non-Trump candidates, but that's how these people, if they want a future in the MAGA, and let's face it, MAGA owns the Republican Party now.
00:17:12.000 So if they want a future in the Republican Party, they're going to have to realize that Trump is the candidate and they need to get behind him.
00:17:19.000 That's my view.

00:18:32.000 Joining us now is Caroline Glick, Senior Contributing Editor from the Jewish News Syndicate and host of the Caroline Glick Show.
00:18:38.000 Caroline, thank you for taking time to come back.
00:18:40.000 You were excellent recently when you were on our program.
00:18:43.000 I wanted to have you back.
00:18:44.000 So, Caroline, this is no longer front page news in America, so it's getting further and further down.
00:18:50.000 Can you just kind of get our audience up to date?
00:18:52.000 What is the latest of Israel's operation into Gaza?
00:18:56.000 Where do things stand?
00:18:58.000 So, Israel is really, it's this morning, the IDF announced that it had cut Gaza into two, the northern Gaza Strip, where you have the bulk of the Hamas operational complex, their tunnels, their command and control, and their senior terror masters are located in Gaza City in the north and in the surrounding towns.
00:19:20.000 And so, Israel has, and then the South is more, is a less active terror zone.
00:19:30.000 And Israel was telling all the people from northern Gaza to transit to southern Gaza to get out of harm's way as much as possible.
00:19:38.000 And what we've seen in recent days is, and now IDF forces have really encircled the kind of command and control area complex that Hamas runs in Gaza City.
00:19:51.000 What we found is that Hamas has been executing Gazans that have been trying to flee.
00:19:56.000 You've seen just a lot of video footage of people being shot and attacked with guns, RPGs, et cetera, women and children as they're trying to leave.
00:20:06.000 And they're being shot by Hamas terrorists who want them as human shields in the north.
00:20:10.000 So they've been doing this very publicly in order to try to deter others from leaving so that they can have maximum number of human shields.
00:20:17.000 So they're continuing to.
00:20:18.000 Yeah, just I want to reiterate this, Caroline.
00:20:20.000 So the Hamas terrorists are killing women and children fleeing the conflict zone to try to seek refuge.
00:20:30.000 This is beyond morally reprehensible.
00:20:34.000 Well, everything that Hamas does is beyond morally reprehensible.
00:20:38.000 They're holding 244 Israeli hostages.
00:20:40.000 Now the number has gone up to 244.
00:20:43.000 As we make more IDs of the remains of the people who were murdered, you know, they incinerated the bodies.
00:20:49.000 So a lot of the bodies that we're trying to identify now are basically just ashes.
00:20:54.000 It's very much like an Auschwitz-like crevatorium, what we're seeing.
00:20:58.000 They used lighter fuel after they set them on fire to raise the flames and tires.
00:21:06.000 So we're facing a situation where as each day goes by, we get more information about whose remains aren't here.
00:21:13.000 We haven't identified all of them.
00:21:15.000 We have over 120 who are still unaccounted for because we know that there are 840 missed or dead or missing, but of the 840, we've only been able to identify 736 bodies.
00:21:29.000 So that's that.
00:21:30.000 And then we have 244 now hostages that we pretty much confirmed are in Gaza.
00:21:36.000 And also in the north, Hezbollah is escalating their attacks.
00:21:39.000 They attacked down to the environs of the Mediterranean port town of Haifa this morning for the first time.
00:21:50.000 So they're extending the range and also the payloads.
00:21:53.000 We've had some 2,000-pound payloads and some of the missiles that they've been hitting Israel with over the past 48 hours.
00:22:03.000 And Israeli strikes inside of Lebanon are going a little bit more deep, deeper into Lebanese territory.
00:22:09.000 So the Northern Front is also getting hotter.
00:22:14.000 So that's what's going on.
00:22:15.000 And then the United States is continuing with their sort of demonstrations of power.
00:22:19.000 They're bringing in an Ohio-class nuclear power submarine into the area.
00:22:24.000 But again, it's not really clear what the Americans are wanting to do because they've been attacked 38 times by Iranian proxies.
00:22:32.000 46 American soldiers have been wounded in attacks on American bases in Iraq and in Syria by Iranian proxies.
00:22:41.000 And in the meantime, Joe Biden, President Joe Biden, warned Iran and its other proxies not to get involved in the war.
00:22:49.000 He keeps saying don't, don't, don't.
00:22:50.000 But in the meantime, Yemen declared war on Israel.
00:22:53.000 Algeria declared war on Israel.
00:22:57.000 And we see Hezbollah stepping up, escalating its assaults against Israel from Lebanon.
00:23:03.000 So it's not clear how powerful the American deterrent messages are for the Iranians and their proxies right now.
00:23:13.000 So there's 244 hostages.
00:23:15.000 Is that correct?
00:23:16.000 Yes, it's correct.
00:23:18.000 So where in Gaza do we think they're being held?
00:23:22.000 The southern part or now the encircled more northern part?
00:23:26.000 I mean, I don't know.
00:23:28.000 It's possible that they're all over the place.
00:23:30.000 Last week, the IDF was able to locate and free an IDF private female named Ori Ansbacher, who Ori Magidish, sorry, who was captured on October 7th at her base.
00:23:47.000 24 of her fellow soldiers were executed.
00:23:50.000 One more was seen in Gaza after she'd been raped and she was being pulled out of her car on October 7th.
00:23:57.000 So there were two soldiers we knew about.
00:24:00.000 And so one of them, Maury McGiddish, was like, oh, but she was alone.
00:24:03.000 So I think one of the scenarios is that all of the hostages, the children, the women, the babies, the men are all being held separately.
00:24:16.000 So we don't really know because, I mean, I don't know.
00:24:19.000 I hope that our intelligence services and the IDF does, but it certainly that information hasn't been released to the public.
00:24:26.000 So the IDF is operating very methodical.
00:24:29.000 And I have lost my patience, Caroline, with some Americans that otherwise I thought were rather rational.
00:24:36.000 And they do nothing but point fingers at Israel and Israel and Israel.
00:24:39.000 Look, it's a war.
00:24:40.000 Bad things happen in war.
00:24:41.000 But hold on a second.
00:24:42.000 Who started this war?
00:24:44.000 This is what drives me nuts: they go in and kill 1,000, is it 400, 500 Jews?
00:24:50.000 I want to make sure I'm precise.
00:24:54.000 I mean, we don't know, but it's going to end up being over 1,500.
00:24:57.000 Right now, they keep saying more than 1,400.
00:24:59.000 No, but, and this is what is so sick what's going on.
00:25:01.000 And I do the media thing and the social media thing for a living, is that the moral inversion, as if Israel asked for this, Israel somehow was had this completely ready to go.
00:25:15.000 They are defending themselves and going after active hostages.
00:25:20.000 Caroline, can you just give us some insight into what you are seeing on social media on TikTok?
00:25:27.000 Because the younger people in America are being propagandized in regards to this conflict and this war.
00:25:34.000 I know.
00:25:34.000 It's very disturbing.
00:25:36.000 I actually did a podcast about it or a couple last week because at the beginning of last week, it was reported for the first time this atrocity that happened to a family at one of the kibbutzim in the south.
00:25:51.000 I don't know how graphic you want me to get it, but it was a mother and a father and their baby.
00:25:57.000 And the baby, it worked out, was burned alive in their oven.
00:26:02.000 And so this came out and I reported it on my Twitter page.
00:26:08.000 I just relayed the information on my Twitter page.
00:26:10.000 And what I found was that the tweet had been, you know, within a few hours, it became incredibly viral for me.
00:26:19.000 I'm not, you know, like you.
00:26:21.000 I have a fairly large following, but it's, you know, it's not meteoric.
00:26:24.000 But it had been seen, I don't know, two and a half million times.
00:26:28.000 And I had thousands and thousands of comments.
00:26:30.000 And what was shocking about the comments and the retweets was that they were by Hamas supporters and they were calling me a liar.
00:26:38.000 And they were actually developing memes of Carolyn Glick, the liar, that I was putting out this information that was lies.
00:26:45.000 And I was a Zionazi and I was putting out these lies.
00:26:49.000 And so, you know, like any normal person, I got a got a little bit worried.
00:26:53.000 I said, what did is this incorrect?
00:26:55.000 And so I checked with all the sources and I got this confirmed not only by the government of Israel and the IDF, but even by sources in the Secret Service, in American intelligence, were confirming it as well.
00:27:09.000 And more than that, and the body retrieval service, Zaka, in Israel, also confirmed it.
00:27:15.000 And the point, everybody confirmed it.
00:27:17.000 And moreover, it works out that this wasn't a lone case, that there were several babies that were found with grill marks on their bodies because they were baked.
00:27:26.000 And so this was a method of sadism that was employed repeatedly by the murderers on October 7th.
00:27:36.000 So I decided to do, you know, some to bear witness to what happened.
00:27:42.000 So, I brought in somebody who was a volunteer in our burial society that prepares Jewish bodies for burial.
00:27:52.000 And she was describing the state of a lot of the corpses that reached the burial service volunteers to prepare for their funerals.
00:28:01.000 And it was devastating.
00:28:02.000 It's devastating stuff.
00:28:04.000 And so, what we're seeing is this incredible denial on the part of Hamas supporters online in the United States, in Europe, that they're denying the atrocities and then they're projecting them onto Israel and saying that Israel was raping its own women, Israel was slaughtering its own babies.
00:28:22.000 It's all a lie.
00:28:23.000 Nothing like this happened.
00:28:25.000 So, in Israel, luckily, the government and the IDF have all taken gloves off treatment of all of these statements, of the incitement, and they're just arresting people and indicting them for incitement to terrorism, providing material support for terrorism.
00:28:46.000 So, that's what's happening in Israel.
00:28:47.000 But in America, you see, I mean, you saw what happened at the White House, and you had tens of thousands of people throughout Washington, D.C. marching for Hamas.
00:28:56.000 Yesterday, there was a vigil for the hostages outside of the White House, and you had pro-Hamas demonstrators who came and tried to block them from holding their vigil.
00:29:07.000 And of course, you see on social media all of the posters with the hostages' faces on them that have been put up throughout the United States and Europe and are being taken down and very much by young people, by students who have been incited and have been misinformed repeatedly and on a very deep level by their professors.
00:29:28.000 So, we're seeing that this is a general social phenomenon.
00:29:31.000 And then it comes up, I'm sure you've seen the polling data that younger Americans support Hamas.
00:29:38.000 So, it's very, very distressing.
00:29:39.000 It's not insignificant.
00:29:40.000 There is an unprecedented amount of foreign influence, unregulated foreign cash, foreign activity, and subsidizing of American social media content that is orchestrated through Gulf states, Iranian proxies, and just outright anti-Western forces, Soros, and the like.
00:29:58.000 I don't think it's getting nearly enough coverage.
00:30:00.000 What we're seeing on TikTok is not organic.
00:30:02.000 It's a synthetic, orchestrated, centralized, planned and plotted campaign to create an Intel-style cultural revolution-type narrative war against the Jewish people and against Israel.

00:31:18.000 Caroline Glick continues thus, Caroline, I'll repeat this, and then I want to go into some of the numbers on TikTok.
00:31:24.000 Bothers me the most with the Israeli Hamas issue online is Hamas is the aggressor that now gets to play the role of the victim.
00:31:38.000 Is that they launched the war, they killed Jews, and tragically it's working.
00:31:43.000 3 billion views on TikTok have been viewed in the pro-Palestinian, whatever, pro-Hamas vein.
00:31:52.000 Only 200 million in a pro-Israel way.
00:31:57.000 That is the whole ballgame right there.
00:31:59.000 So, Caroline, talk about that.
00:32:00.000 And secondly, what is your message then to young Americans, young Westerners that are outspokenly and unapologetically on the side of Hamas?
00:32:10.000 Look, you know, I mean, the problem is that what these short videos on TikTok and Middle Eastern studies professors, frankly, on university campuses do is they've invented a narrative where they've placed these genocidal Palestinian butchers in the role of the oppressed.
00:32:31.000 And Israel, which is a law-abiding, freedom-loving, peaceful country that just wants to live and be allowed to be free and be the Jewish state as the oppressor.
00:32:49.000 And so, you know, in the narrative world where we live, what you find is that once a narrative develops and grows and is indoctrinated into enough people, facts don't matter.
00:33:03.000 So that, you know, Israel comes with facts about everything from international law and our legal rights and Jewish history and Palestinian, the genocidal nature of Palestinian nationalism, the ties between Palestinians and the Nazis going back to the 1920s and forward throughout the Holocaust and into the present time.
00:33:32.000 The jihadist nature of the Palestinian war against Israel, which like Razi Hamid, the Hamas spokesman, explained, is annihilationist in character.
00:33:42.000 They don't want a state.
00:33:44.000 They just want to annihilate Israel.
00:33:45.000 That's all they've ever been about.
00:33:47.000 But we can give those points.
00:33:50.000 We can make those arguments.
00:33:52.000 But if you're talking to people, and this is true not only of teenagers on TikTok, but even of the Secretary of State of the United States, Tony Blinken, that if you're talking to people who have already embraced a narrative of oppressed being the Palestinians and the oppressors being Israel, none of this matters.
00:34:11.000 It doesn't matter that humanitarian aid to Gaza is just resupply to Hamas.
00:34:17.000 It doesn't matter that they're the ones killing their own civilians.
00:34:20.000 Israel must be blamed.
00:34:22.000 Israel must make concessions to Hamas in the middle of war.
00:34:27.000 Israel is to be blamed.
00:34:28.000 The front page, the cover of Time magazine this week is devastation in Gaza.
00:34:34.000 And the clear point they're trying to make is that Israel is committing war crimes, which is just a lie.
00:34:40.000 But that's the picture that they decided to put on their cover because the Time editors who chose it prefer narrative, which is false, but they don't care, to facts, which are true.
00:34:51.000 So, I mean, that's the war.
00:34:54.000 It's the war between truth and a story.
00:34:58.000 And the story is more preferable for many of these people than truth.
00:35:03.000 And that's a cultural issue that I'm not sure that even if Israel had the best people explaining it, how can you fix that?
00:35:11.000 And you're in a deficit because in the West, and I will make a political statement here, that there is a built-in, there's a built-in expectation that everything is through an oppressor-oppressed mindset.
00:35:23.000 And therefore, they look at who is the oppressor, who is the oppressed in any situation.
00:35:28.000 No nuance, nothing about, hey, actually, the true oppressor is Hamas, right?
00:35:32.000 It's like, it's super binary, good versus evil.
00:35:35.000 It's underlying Western victim narratives that have been used at other domestic political issues here in America that then just get repurposed and reapplied to the Israel-Palestinian issue.
00:35:44.000 Closing thoughts, Caroline Glick.
00:35:46.000 Look, I mean, people have to, you know, it goes back to like what Pope Benedict got in trouble for.
00:35:51.000 He gave this dialogue between a Benedictine monk and an Islamic scholar.
00:35:56.000 And, you know, it was a question, do you believe in reason?
00:35:59.000 If Islam rejects reason, we have nothing to talk about.
00:36:02.000 And, you know, these people throughout the Islamic world went rioting after that statement by Pope Benedict XVI.
00:36:08.000 But it's true here too, not only in the Islamic world, but in the West.
00:36:12.000 Are you willing to listen to reason?
00:36:14.000 Do you care about facts?
00:36:15.000 Or is everything just a story for you?
00:36:18.000 Because people have to care about facts if they want to care about the world.
00:36:22.000 And the facts are in Israel's side.
00:36:24.000 My goodness, that is so powerful.
00:36:26.000 Personal story over reason is such a deep point.
