00:00:49.000 We go.
00:00:50.000 Charlie, what you've done is incredible here.
00:00:51.000 Maybe Charlie Kirk is on the college campus.
00:00:53.000 I want you to know we are lucky to have Charlie Kirk.
00:00:57.000 Charlie Kirk's running the White House, folks.
00:01:00.000 I want to thank Charlie.
00:01:01.000 He's an incredible guy.
00:01:02.000 His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:01:10.000 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.
00:01:19.000 That's why we are here.
00:01:23.000 Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:32.000 So for the last couple of years, some people, not all people, say, Charlie, you're too pro-Israel.
00:01:37.000 Why do you care so much about Israel?
00:01:39.000 As soon as the massacre, it wasn't an attack, it was an attempted genocide, started in Israel. 0.53
00:01:47.000 I immediately came out in defense of Israel, as I always have.
00:01:50.000 On campuses, literally across the world, I have defended Israel.
00:01:55.000 When I did our campus tour at TPUK, when I did our events here across the country, when people ask me about Israel, I'm pro-Israel.
00:02:02.000 I love Israel.
00:02:03.000 Israel changed my life. 1.00
00:02:07.000 Been there multiple times, been to the Gaza border.
00:02:10.000 In fact, interestingly enough, before this whole thing broke out, I had an event with Dennis Prager where one guy comes up calling for a holy war against the Jews.
00:02:19.000 We called him out as he deserved as a suspicious character who seems to have hatred for the Jewish people.
00:02:28.000 Now, all that's an important backdrop because apparently none of that mattered.
00:02:33.000 This last weekend, I turned off my phone for Shabbat.
00:02:37.000 I'm not Jewish, but I honor the Shabbat of the God of Abraham, Jehovah.
00:02:42.000 Turn off the phone as I always do from Friday night to Sunday morning.
00:02:48.000 Also happened to be my birthday weekend.
00:02:50.000 Some people were texting me, Charlie, you're going too pro-Israel.
00:02:53.000 That's what I got Friday night.
00:02:55.000 You're doing too much on the Israel thing.
00:02:57.000 I said, oh, whatever.
00:02:58.000 Have a nice weekend.
00:03:00.000 Turn off the phone.
00:03:01.000 And I wake up on Saturday.
00:03:04.000 And of course, I'm not reachable, but Andrew calls Erica.
00:03:09.000 And I said, what is it?
00:03:10.000 He said, oh, things are blowing up all over social media.
00:03:13.000 They're accusing you of being anti-Israel.
00:03:18.000 And I said, how is that even possible?
00:03:20.000 He said, what piece of tape do they possibly have?
00:03:24.000 And so I went on Patrick Bett David's podcast this last weekend, who's excellent, by the way, Patrick Bett David.
00:03:32.000 And I did exactly what I've done on this show.
00:03:34.000 Of course, I talk about my love of Israel and my stance with the Jewish people.
00:03:39.000 But I went through a series of inquiries.
00:03:42.000 And I'm going to keep on doing that.
00:03:44.000 So I have a whole career defending Israel.
00:03:47.000 And I woke up where people are calling me a Holocaust denier and a Jew hater.
00:03:52.000 Now, I'm going to get to this later in the show, but the level of outrage and the insanity that is infecting some people in the conservative movement is repugnant, repulsive, and it's turning a lot of people off right now.
00:04:03.000 It's turning a lot of people off, myself included. 0.69
00:04:07.000 Like, everyone's got to calm down and settle down because just calling everybody an anti-Semite is ridiculous, especially me, someone who has received a fair amount of arrows and attacks for being too pro-Israel.
00:04:20.000 So, I'm going to play the entire tape in question here, the whole thing, that now has well over 6 million views on Twitter.
00:04:26.000 And I stand by every word.
00:04:28.000 I even had a disclaimer.
00:04:29.000 I stated fact after fact after fact.
00:04:32.000 And it turns out that even after I did this interview, there are now articles that reinforce what my gut instinct was.
00:04:41.000 And some people said, Charlie, you're flying too close to the sun.
00:04:43.000 You're not allowed to ask questions like that.
00:04:45.000 You're not allowed to do that in a time like this.
00:04:47.000 Wait a second, you're not allowed to pursue the truth?
00:04:51.000 Apparently not.
00:04:52.000 Apparently, if you dare say, I love Israel, and I don't know why it took 20 hours, according to the New York Times, 20 hours to go rescue Jews, apparently you're no different than Hitler. 0.82
00:05:07.000 And I'm going to read the tweets off from Ben Dominich, from Eric Erickson, calling me an anti-Semite because I said this on Patrick Bett David's show, PlayCut 11.
00:05:18.000 I've been to Israel many times.
00:05:20.000 The whole country's a fortress.
00:05:21.000 When I first heard this story, I still have the same gut instinct that I did initially.
00:05:27.000 I find this very hard to believe.
00:05:29.000 I've been to that Gaza border.
00:05:30.000 You cannot go 10 feet without running into a 19-year-old with an AR-15 or an automatic machine gun that's an IDF soldier, right?
00:05:38.000 The whole country is surveilled.
00:05:40.000 And so, so let me just, let me just kind of go through this.
00:05:43.000 We don't talk about Israeli politics very often, and most Americans don't know this.
00:05:46.000 The last nine months, Israel was on the brink of civil war.
00:05:49.000 It's not an exaggeration.
00:05:50.000 This judicial stuff, there were hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets because B.B. Netanyahu is basically redefining the Israeli constitution.
00:05:59.000 That's not an exaggeration, right?
00:06:00.000 He said the judicial branch has too much power.
00:06:02.000 There were protests planned this week against Netanyahu, where they anticipated tens of thousands of people to take to the streets.
00:06:10.000 That's all gone, Patrick.
00:06:11.000 Netanyahu now has an emergency government and a mandate to lead.
00:06:16.000 I'm not willing to say, to go so far that saying that Netanyahu knew or there was intelligence here, but I think some questions need to be asked.
00:06:22.000 Was there a stand down order?
00:06:26.000 Was there a stand down order?
00:06:28.000 Six hours?
00:06:29.000 I don't believe it.
00:06:30.000 Israel's the side of size New Jersey. 0.95
00:06:32.000 When I took a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it's 45 minutes.
00:06:38.000 Wow.
00:06:38.000 Six hours.
00:06:39.000 They're live streaming the killing of Jews.
00:06:42.000 Did somebody in the government say stand down?
00:06:44.000 That is a legitimate non-conspiracy question.
00:06:48.000 The whole country is the IDF.
00:06:51.000 The whole country is.
00:06:53.000 And you're trying to tell me that they're going to concerts and kibbutzes and schools and by report.
00:06:59.000 And it keeps on going from there.
00:07:00.000 Axios.com.
00:07:02.000 Israel security chiefs had intel on Hamas activity, but didn't put border on high alert.
00:07:07.000 That's axios.com.
00:07:09.000 That's not some sort of Holocaust denier website.
00:07:12.000 That's Axios.
00:07:14.000 Israel leaders are facing growing criticism and questions over how they failed to prevent or quickly stop the deadliest attacks on its territory in decades.
00:07:23.000 Okay, so let's take the most innocent explanation, of which I even had a disclaimer in that tape, and it blew up the internet this weekend because you're not allowed to ask questions.
00:07:31.000 You're not.
00:07:32.000 You're not allowed to pursue the truth.
00:07:34.000 You just must say, you know what?
00:07:36.000 This all makes sense.
00:07:38.000 Let's just go invade. 0.97
00:07:40.000 And even from a different perspective, has anyone been fired?
00:07:44.000 Are the same people who are the same people who messed up this intelligence failure now in charge of the intelligence of the invasion of Gaza?
00:07:52.000 Of which, by the way, I support the invasion of Gaza, which is hilarious. 1.00
00:07:58.000 Because the one person who's probably going to be defending Israel the next couple weeks, me, is the person you go after. 0.79
00:08:04.000 When things get really hard and the UN is going to say, Israel's committing war crimes, I'm going to be on campus defending Israel.
00:08:11.000 I'm going to be on campus against the Students for Justice of Palestine.
00:08:14.000 I'm going to be on campus against the Democrat Socialists of America.
00:08:17.000 But I'm the anti-Semite, put up this tweet.
00:08:19.000 Ben Dominich.
00:08:21.000 If Charlie Kirk remains the head of TPUSA, the right has an anti-Semite problem that will follow them into coming elections.
00:08:27.000 Ben Dominich calling for regime change at Turning Point USA.
00:08:31.000 Someone should probably inform him that's not going to happen.
00:08:36.000 The only play that Ben Dominich has is regime change.
00:08:39.000 Take him out.
00:08:40.000 Color revolution.
00:08:41.000 Launch a coup.
00:08:42.000 It's all he knows.
00:08:44.000 Eric Erickson.
00:08:47.000 At this point, TPUSA is looking not like just a grifting operation, but an anti-Semitic grifting operation.
00:08:53.000 Right.
00:08:53.000 Yeah, we have 400-plus employees with thousands of high school and college campuses across the country.
00:08:58.000 Turning Point Action is recruiting thousands of precinct committee men.
00:09:00.000 We have TPUSA Faith, Turning Point Academy, Blexit, campus tours.
00:09:05.000 And what do you do, Eric Erickson?
00:09:09.000 You know, it's really easy to kind of sit on your tail and say, you're an anti-Semite. 0.96
00:09:12.000 You're an anti-Semite. 0.72
00:09:14.000 It's intellectually sloppy and lazy, and it does such harm to our movement. 0.97
00:09:18.000 And I predicted this last week.
00:09:20.000 Little did I know I'd be the recipient of it, but honestly, bring it up.
00:09:24.000 I saw last week, I said, there's a coming conservative, you could call civil war, that's probably no exaggeration, but just nasty chapter coming, collision.
00:09:33.000 We called it, we predicted it because I saw the temperature rising up, an ideological collision.
00:09:39.000 And here I am with a whole career built proudly and still repeatedly defending the Holy Land.
00:09:45.000 And I say, hey, there's a New York Times article here that says that Kar Aza, Kafar Aza, 20 hours.
00:09:52.000 It took 20 hours to get people rescued.
00:09:55.000 According to the New York Times, the shortest rescue was 8.5 hours.
00:10:00.000 And then another eight hours at the festival and 13 hours at Beir Rahid.
00:10:04.000 But you're not allowed to say that.
00:10:07.000 Apparently, you get called an anti-Semite by Ben Dominich and Eric Erickson.
00:10:13.000 Here's the point, is that after COVID, after Ukraine, after the vaccine, after all this stuff, yeah, we ask questions, but you're not allowed to do that anymore.
00:10:22.000 If not, you get attacked so relentlessly as being called an anti-Semite.
00:10:32.000 Strong cell is amazing.
00:10:33.000 I got to tell you, the combination of NADH, CoQ10, and collagen is really something.
00:10:39.000 You know, people ask me, they say, Charlie, how do you keep your energy up?
00:10:42.000 How do you just keep on pushing?
00:10:44.000 Look, part of it is diet nutrition, but I'll be honest, I take supplements really seriously.
00:10:50.000 Fact check me on this.
00:10:50.000 You can say, oh, Charlie, I'm going to fact-check you.
00:10:52.000 Type this into your search engine.
00:10:54.000 NADH.
00:10:57.000 Just type it in.
00:10:58.000 What does it tell you?
00:10:59.000 It might tell you that it is the secret to living long, anti-aging properties, more energy.
00:11:04.000 Well, all of that is being proven in more and more clinical trials.
00:11:07.000 NADH is a precursor so that your mitochondria can remain healthy and vibrant.
00:11:13.000 The elites, a lot of billionaires, people, a lot of money, they spend a ton of money on NAD.
00:11:17.000 It's a fact.
00:11:18.000 NAD just might be your secret weapon for more energy.
00:11:21.000 I take NAD every single day.
00:11:23.000 I could tell you that NADH, compared with CoQ10, the trials show very, very good things.
00:11:29.000 Don't take my word for it.
00:11:30.000 I mean, honestly, my word should be good for something.
00:11:32.000 But fact-check me.
00:11:34.000 And if you do it over 30 days, you'll see an increase in energy.
00:11:34.000 Look at it.
00:11:37.000 I wake up better than ever before.
00:11:39.000 NAD can help you potentially, again, fact check me on this with depression, anxiety, other issues that you might be dealing with.
00:11:46.000 It is nature's gift to you so that you might have extra energy and mental clarity.
00:11:52.000 You guys can use promo code Charlie for 20% off.
00:11:54.000 It's strongsell.com/slash Charlie.
00:11:56.000 NAD might be nature's secret weapon for you.
00:12:02.000 I love it.
00:12:02.000 I take it every single day.
00:12:04.000 Try to try it for at least 30 days to see the maximum benefit.
00:12:07.000 And let me know.
00:12:08.000 Has NAD helped your life?
00:12:10.000 Strongsell.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:12.000 Check it out.
00:12:12.000 Strongsell.com/slash Charlie.
00:12:17.000 You know what really bothers me is that there are Jew haters out there. 0.89
00:12:20.000 And you should save the word anti-Semite for when you come across a Jew hater.
00:12:25.000 There are racists out there, not as many as the left makes it seem.
00:12:29.000 But when you call everything racist, you call everything anti-Semite, it means nothing.
00:12:33.000 And now, this is what these people are doing: Ben Dominich, Eric Erickson, they're no different than the left.
00:12:39.000 They're basically making the pejorative or the accusation or the label, that's a better word, anti-Semite mean absolutely nothing.
00:12:49.000 That's basically where we're headed.
00:12:51.000 It's starting to mean nothing.
00:12:53.000 And that's too bad because there are actual anti-Semites.
00:12:56.000 When you all of a sudden say that the guy who is one of the most outspoken pro-Israel voices in the country, in the whole country, is an anti-Semite because I look at a New York Times article and it took 20 hours for the IDF, 20 hours.
00:13:15.000 Now, is the New York Times wrong?
00:13:17.000 That's what, because I got so many text messages.
00:13:19.000 I could read some of them.
00:13:20.000 One of the guys texted me, Charlie, you're a Holocaust denier.
00:13:24.000 And I said, just lose my number, like honestly.
00:13:27.000 Really?
00:13:28.000 I see that it takes 20 hours, according to the New York Times, and they just call you names.
00:13:34.000 By the way, this is by Lauren Leatherby, Emin Bubbla, Arjita Lajeka, Amy Schoenfield Walker, Molly Koch Escobar, Pablo Robles.
00:13:43.000 Now, just so we're clear, the New York Times gets a lot wrong.
00:13:45.000 This stuff, they're actually the best at.
00:13:47.000 They were actually the best at January 6th.
00:13:49.000 The January 6th, New York Times timeline was by far the most accurate and actually proved some of our points, by the way, that there was more to the story.
00:13:58.000 The New York Times reporting on it was exceptional.
00:14:01.000 There was other stuff that it was suspicious.
00:14:03.000 And so, according to the New York Times, the attack started at 6:30 in the morning.
00:14:09.000 How did Hamas get to the border?
00:14:11.000 Bulldozers, Airland, C paragliders.
00:14:15.000 And then messages go out.
00:14:17.000 Please send help at Nur Oz.
00:14:20.000 And then eight and a half hours later, the IDF shows up.
00:14:25.000 Festival.
00:14:26.000 The evacuation begins.
00:14:28.000 Hostages taken.
00:14:29.000 Two and a half hours in.
00:14:30.000 Gunmen shoot at the crowd three hours in.
00:14:33.000 Gunmen load up cars six hours in.
00:14:37.000 Eight hours, the concert goers were rescued from the bush.
00:14:41.000 20 hours for Kvar Aza.
00:14:43.000 Residents go into hiding at 6:30.
00:14:46.000 Two and a half hours, three hours later, hostages were taken.
00:14:48.000 Three hours.
00:14:51.000 Am I a bad person for asking these questions? 1.00
00:14:54.000 Sit down and shut up and let's invade Gaza. 1.00
00:14:56.000 Well, I actually support the invasion of Gaza, believe it or not. 0.99
00:15:00.000 But are you about to go invade on bad intelligence?
00:15:03.000 Has anyone been fired?
00:15:05.000 Has anyone resigned in disgrace?
00:15:07.000 By the way, if America is subsidizing the Israeli government, which I think that's actually in our geopolitical interest to do, shouldn't we be able to ask questions?
00:15:16.000 Israel has won entire wars in barely more time than it took them to reclaim the villages near Gaza.
00:15:22.000 Reasonable to wonder what happened.
00:15:26.000 And I'm not doing it in some sort of, oh, you're a conspiracy theorist.
00:15:29.000 I'm reading the New York Times, pal.
00:15:32.000 The New York Times.
00:15:34.000 Has anyone answered these questions?
00:15:37.000 And I'm going to mention 1973 in a second, which, by the way, when these, you know, I open up my phone from Shabbat, and I have a lot of angry people, you know, that are texting me.
00:15:49.000 And I sent them the gold of my year thing, and they ignored it.
00:15:52.000 Some people were like, well, yeah, that's a good point.
00:15:54.000 Oh, that's a good point.
00:15:55.000 We'll mention that in just a second.
00:15:57.000 Because it wouldn't, it would not, let me put it this way.
00:15:59.000 There's a historical piece of evidence that Israel has allowed themselves to be attacked before because they did not want to be viewed as the aggressor.
00:16:09.000 I'm not saying that's what happened here, but learn the history of the Yom Kippur War, of which it was a 50-year anniversary.
00:16:17.000 How about this one?
00:16:17.000 Bier Ari.
00:16:19.000 The attackers hit the kibbutz at 6:30 in the morning.
00:16:22.000 The attackers start going in the streets and massacring civilians.
00:16:27.000 They then last contact with victims six hours in.
00:16:30.000 You realize that people were on their phones asking for help for five or six or seven hours.
00:16:35.000 So they knew they were live streaming the killings.
00:16:37.000 They were on the phone pleading, send help, send help, send help, send help.
00:16:43.000 I don't think I'm going to make it out here.
00:16:45.000 Seven hours in.
00:16:46.000 Seven hours in.
00:16:49.000 They're saying, I don't think I'm going to make it out here.
00:16:52.000 13 hours later, the IDF arrived at this particular kibbutz.
00:16:57.000 Nuraz, eight and a half hours.
00:17:00.000 Festival, eight hours.
00:17:01.000 Kvar Azara, 20 hours.
00:17:04.000 Ba'eri, 13 hours.
00:17:07.000 I love Jews in Israel so much that I think this is unacceptable.
00:17:11.000 And I think we should take a timeout and ask what the hell happened in Israel before we do a ground invasion, send more arms, aircraft carriers, all that stuff's fine.
00:17:21.000 But don't you think we should get some clarity on what actually happened?
00:17:26.000 Not just barrel towards a war out of vengeance.

00:18:10.000 Okay, just show CUD 18 up there. 1.00
00:18:12.000 So this is a picture when Erica and I visited Israel many times.
00:18:18.000 We were there with the IDF, right on the Gaza border.
00:18:20.000 That's right there.
00:18:20.000 You see kind of the faint buildings in the distance?
00:18:22.000 That's right there. 0.96
00:18:24.000 In fact, that's within a mile of where the Hamas terrorists, these savage demons, penetrated. 0.99
00:18:31.000 And I got the full tour.
00:18:33.000 And if you could put CUT 18 up, we were going through the tank armaments right there.
00:18:39.000 This is a military base not far from Gaza.
00:18:42.000 In fact, it's about three miles away.
00:18:44.000 And they have young men sitting waiting to be deployed at any time.
00:18:49.000 And if you go back to Cut 18 right there, this is a strategic outpost.
00:18:54.000 And the full-time job of the young men of the IDF right here in CUD 18, the full-time job is they sit there with binoculars 24 hours a day.
00:19:03.000 The other photo, if you guys could put it, go back to it.
00:19:06.000 Right there, their full-time job is to look if, and I remember they told me, quote, Charlie, if a mouse moves, we know.
00:19:13.000 And I said, okay, that's funny.
00:19:14.000 They said, no, we have, you know, thermal binoculars.
00:19:17.000 We have drone reconnaissance.
00:19:20.000 They said, this is by far one of the most monitored borders in the world.
00:19:24.000 And do you know what I said?
00:19:26.000 I said, I wish we in America had a border like this one.
00:19:31.000 And it was just kind of a funny joke at the time, but we really don't have much of a border.
00:19:35.000 And I asked them, I said, well, you know, are you worried about penetration and all that?
00:19:38.000 And again, it wasn't like specific line of questioning, but it was interesting.
00:19:42.000 And they said, oh, no, this is incredibly secure.
00:19:44.000 Censors, anything happens, we know about it.
00:19:47.000 And then if you go to some of those cities, by the way, we literally went to some of the kibbutzes where the people I met are all dead. 0.97
00:19:54.000 They're all dead.
00:19:56.000 Okay?
00:19:58.000 And I remember going to those kibbutzes, and they do have a form of an alarm system. 0.98
00:20:05.000 You have to wonder, did that not work?
00:20:08.000 All these different things.
00:20:08.000 And so Axios comes out with an article.
00:20:10.000 Let me just read this article because people's emotion is way too high right now.
00:20:15.000 And my emotion is high. 1.00
00:20:16.000 I want every single one of those savage Muslim demons that killed those Jews to be murdered, killed, every one of them. 1.00
00:20:25.000 But I also take a step back and I say, hold on a second. 1.00
00:20:28.000 Before we do that, let's make sure that the people responsible aren't actually getting us into another trap.
00:20:36.000 By the way, you invade Gaza, there will be booby traps, potentially chemical agents.
00:20:42.000 You just have to be ready for that.
00:20:43.000 This is a very serious thing.
00:20:45.000 So time out.
00:20:46.000 Let's read this article, okay?
00:20:48.000 Israel officials said on Friday, the day before the attack, Israeli intelligence saw signs of Hamas activity in Gaza and suggested the militant group could have been preparing for an attack.
00:21:07.000 Listen to this.
00:21:07.000 This is the buried lead.
00:21:09.000 Don't listen to this, guys.
00:21:12.000 No one's talking about this in the media.
00:21:14.000 They're all afraid.
00:21:15.000 Well, we're not afraid here.
00:21:16.000 Call me whatever you want.
00:21:18.000 Listen to this.
00:21:20.000 Several high-level consultations took place Friday night before the attack to try to understand what the new intelligence meant.
00:21:33.000 IDF chief of staff, Herzi Haveli, Shinbat director Ronin Barr, and Aaron Haleva, head of military intelligence, participated in some of these consultations, which discussed whether the irregular activity was a Hamas exercise or an initial preparation for the attack.
00:21:58.000 Israeli officials said that one of the possibilities that was raised in the consultation was to put IDF forces around Gaza on high alert because of a possible attack.
00:22:11.000 Here's the issue that I am not going to lay off of.
00:22:16.000 But after the consultations, the leaders decided to wait for more intelligence to come in.
00:22:22.000 Several hours later, Hamas attacked.
00:22:24.000 Okay, so they had high-level meetings.
00:22:28.000 This is Axios.
00:22:30.000 High-level Israeli government consultations.
00:22:34.000 Who were in these discussions?
00:22:36.000 Why did they decide not to put the border on high alert?
00:22:39.000 It's the 50-year anniversary of the Yom Kippur War.
00:22:42.000 It's a high holy day on Shemat Torah. 0.99
00:22:45.000 Arabs love killing Jews on high holy days. 1.00
00:22:48.000 A war where Israel was caught off guard. 0.99
00:22:51.000 Arabs love anniversaries.
00:22:53.000 Muslims love it. 0.98
00:22:54.000 It's part of their weird thing, like they could attack Jews on the most innocent time. 1.00
00:22:59.000 So shouldn't that have been the opposite reaction, guys?
00:23:02.000 50-year anniversary of Yom Kippur War, lots of chatter and movement on Hamas, mobilize the IDF, increase the intensity.
00:23:11.000 And now this is where people really get angry when I say this, but I'm not going to back off because I love the truth.
00:23:16.000 I love the Jewish people.
00:23:18.000 I love Israel.
00:23:19.000 And I'm not going to just sit idly by and accept every mainstream media narrative after we've been lied to about Ukraine, COVID, border, vaccine.
00:23:26.000 1973.
00:23:28.000 Prime Minister Golda Mair, Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan, and Chief of General Staff David Elazar met at 8.05 on the morning of Yom Kippur.
00:23:39.000 This is 50 years ago, six hours before the war began.
00:23:42.000 Eliezer proposed a mobilization of the entire Air Force and four armored divisions, 100,000 troops, why Dayan favored a mobilization of the Air Force.
00:23:52.000 Prior to the war, Kissinger and Nixon consistently warned Mair that she must not be responsible for initiating a Middle East war.
00:24:02.000 Golda Mair made a decision.
00:24:05.000 You know what decision she made?
00:24:07.000 The decision that she made was: quote, Golda Mair decided not to launch a preemptive strike.
00:24:14.000 She received intelligence that Egypt and Syria were mobilizing their forces.
00:24:19.000 She decided not to launch the strike on the morning of the war, despite knowing of the imminent threat, and defended her decision as a way to avoid international condemnation.
00:24:31.000 Golda Mair ordered the full mobilization of the reserves and sought diplomatic and military support from the U.S. and other countries.
00:24:38.000 She eventually faced public criticism and inquiry after the war, which exposed the flaws of the Israeli defense.
00:24:46.000 So the Yom Kippur War, they had intelligence.
00:24:49.000 Well, the Israeli government had intelligence here.
00:24:51.000 So let me give the innocent explanation.
00:24:53.000 The innocent explanation is that there were several high-level consultations that took place on Friday night, and it was the boy who cried wolf.
00:25:00.000 It was, you know what?
00:25:01.000 This happens a lot. 0.67
00:25:02.000 A bunch of Arabs, you know, throw in rocks. 1.00
00:25:05.000 There's a lot of noise. 0.90
00:25:06.000 We get warnings all the time.
00:25:08.000 Our border is the best.
00:25:09.000 We're prideful.
00:25:10.000 You know, they didn't say we're prideful, but they had a sense of pride and cockiness.
00:25:15.000 They rolled their eyes and said, what's the worst they're going to do?
00:25:18.000 A bunch of 18-year-olds are going to run to the fence and start shaking the fence.
00:25:22.000 Maybe it was an honest mistake.
00:25:24.000 We're the unshinkable, unsinkable ship.
00:25:27.000 We are the impenetrable defense.
00:25:28.000 We are Israel.
00:25:29.000 We are the Spartans of the Middle East.
00:25:31.000 They can't possibly penetrate us.
00:25:33.000 We are the Maginot line full of hubris and pride.
00:25:36.000 Let's enjoy our holy day. 0.98
00:25:37.000 There's no way that Arabs can come in and kill our people. 1.00
00:25:41.000 We are the beast of the Middle East. 1.00
00:25:45.000 Okay.
00:25:46.000 I can buy pride as an explanation.
00:25:49.000 It's totally possible.
00:25:50.000 But it's also important that you understand what our gut instinct was last week when I went Petra.
00:25:56.000 This is, by the way, I went on Patrick Bett David's show before this Axios article.
00:26:00.000 I went out on a limb on pure gut saying I think they had some sort of chatter and intelligence.
00:26:06.000 Turns out we were right.
00:26:07.000 Not only were we right, they were high-level consultations.
00:26:10.000 Who was involved in those meetings?
00:26:11.000 Who was in charge?
00:26:12.000 Was Bibi briefed?
00:26:14.000 Was it the head of the IDF?
00:26:15.000 These are interesting questions that honestly, it is our business as Americans to know because America is going to be involved in this through arms, blood banks, aircraft carriers, diplomatic support.
00:26:26.000 We as American taxpayers demand an answer to these questions before you guys go rolling into Gaza, of which is perfectly justifiable. 1.00
00:26:34.000 We have an aircraft carry in the Middle East.
00:26:36.000 We have all this stuff going on.
00:26:37.000 And we're like, no, you can't answer a question. 0.97
00:26:39.000 You hate Jews. 0.99
00:26:40.000 No, actually, I love Jews. 0.94
00:26:42.000 I love Israel.
00:26:43.000 I love America.
00:26:43.000 We have a $4 billion auto pay on Israel every single year.
00:26:47.000 I would think we should get an answer as to this: quote, several high-level consultations.
00:26:53.000 Israeli officials said that one of the possibilities that was raised in the consultation was to put IDF forces.
00:26:59.000 That means that somebody in the meeting said, why don't we go put IDF on the border?
00:27:03.000 And somebody said no.
00:27:04.000 Let me read this again.
00:27:06.000 In the Axios article, one of the possibilities that was raised, that means they had a roundtable discussion and someone said, well, why don't we just go mobilize the military?
00:27:16.000 And somebody said no.
00:27:17.000 I want to know who said no and why they said no. 0.99
00:27:22.000 And yes, it is my damn business. 0.98
00:27:24.000 I'm an American taxpayer, and so are you. 0.99
00:27:26.000 That's going to be underwriting this thing.
00:27:28.000 And we should have Israel's back and we should support Israel unequivocally.
00:27:33.000 But I'm not going to go be an apologist for some deep state bureaucrat in the Israeli government that messed up.
00:27:41.000 That's not going to happen.
00:27:43.000 Are the same people still in charge?
00:27:45.000 Has any form of justice been served?
00:27:47.000 Who did this?
00:27:48.000 Why did they do this?
00:27:49.000 What was the conversation?
00:27:50.000 We should get answers like this, just like we demand answers from Ukraine, answers from Fauci on COVID. 0.99
00:27:55.000 When the government lies to us and they cover things up, we on this program ask questions.
00:28:01.000 And boy, out of all the narratives that I have challenged, BLM, Ukraine, vaccine, this last weekend, I have been treated far more viciously for asking these questions than the other ones.
00:28:18.000 Maybe it's because of emotion.
00:28:20.000 Maybe it's because people are just at a high level and they're so upset that they just, they are a hammer looking for a nail.
00:28:27.000 And it doesn't matter that Charlie has 11 years and thousands of hours of content defending Israel and the Jewish people.
00:28:34.000 As I honor the Shabbat, they just say, Charlie's an anti-Semite.
00:28:40.000 Whoa, I'm asking the right questions. 0.94
00:28:44.000 And you guys are naked apologists right now.
00:28:47.000 And I don't like that.
00:28:48.000 It's bad for America.
00:28:49.000 It's bad for Israel.
00:28:50.000 It's bad for the West.
00:28:52.000 The truth will set you free.
00:28:54.000 And according to Axios, not some fringe website, there was a meeting.
00:28:59.000 There was a probe to send troops and somebody said no.
00:29:05.000 Who?
00:29:05.000 Why?
00:29:07.000 We demand an answer before any invasions occur.
00:29:13.000 Hey, everybody, Charlie Kirk here.
00:29:15.000 As you know, following this week's horrible events, Israel is at war.
00:29:18.000 The people of Israel are under attack from brutal terrorists, targeting innocent civilians, including women and children.
00:29:23.000 There's over a thousand casualties, as well as kidnapping and infiltration of southern Israeli towns.
00:29:28.000 Israel is now retaliating and could escalate with a ground offensive against Hamas militants.
00:29:32.000 The situation is critical, which why I'm partnering with our friends at the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews to rush emergency relief to the hardest hit areas.
00:29:39.000 Call the special phone number 800-492-5454 to make an emergency donation.
00:29:45.000 Again, that's 800-492-5454.
00:29:48.000 Your emergency gift will help the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews save lives and provide critical essentials needed right now.
00:29:54.000 During this dark time, the need in war-torn areas will be tremendous.
00:29:57.000 The fellowship has extensive network of staff, partner organizations, and more.
00:30:01.000 Immediately respond with life-saving security and support measures.
00:30:04.000 We ask all people to pray for safety and protection.
00:30:06.000 Call 800-235-887 as we rush urgent need right now to help Israel through the International Fellowship of Christian Jews.
00:30:17.000 The attacks we received over the weekend were people that hate Turning Point USA anyway and hate me.
00:30:22.000 And we're trying to find some unsubstantiated internet rumor to try to come after Turning Point USA and come after this program because we're so effective.
00:30:30.000 That's also part of it, is that they find some unsubstantiated thing.
00:30:34.000 Oh my goodness, I hate Charlie anyway because Charlie is speaking the conservative message.
00:30:39.000 They're losing their shrinking market share.
00:30:42.000 And what is the last way that you try to delegitimize people?
00:30:46.000 You can't prove that Turning Point is ineffective.
00:30:49.000 We've never been more effective.
00:30:51.000 Never as many views, billions and billions of views online.
00:30:54.000 High school and college chapters, unbelievable impact, like unbelievable impact at Turning Point USA.
00:30:59.000 I'm so proud of the Turning Point Action, Turning Point USA team.
00:31:02.000 So instead, they have to go smear me like there's some sort of slander merchant calling me an anti-Semite.
00:31:08.000 It's just the latest attack vector against Turning Point USA.
00:31:12.000 So that's not lost on me.
00:31:13.000 It's not.
00:31:15.000 But it's also very telling.
00:31:17.000 It's very telling that you dare go through a series of facts and connect those facts.
00:31:25.000 And hilariously, I'm using the mainstream media's own sources.
00:31:31.000 I'm using Axios.
00:31:34.000 This is not some sort of thing where I'm like going to the bowels of the internet of unsubstantiated hearsay.
00:31:42.000 It's CNN.
00:31:42.000 It's New York Times.
00:31:43.000 It's Axios.
00:31:45.000 And so I received the text message from somebody and they were really upset with what I said.
00:31:49.000 And you would know this name, public name.
00:31:51.000 And to their credit, they kept everything private.
00:31:53.000 They didn't go public.
00:31:54.000 They were so upset, right?
00:31:56.000 And I sent them all these articles and they said, yeah, yeah, Charlie, the intelligence failures are a legit concern, but we just must be 100% behind Israel right now. 0.90
00:32:05.000 And if I learned anything, if I learned anything these last couple of years during our own domestic cultural revolution, if I learned anything, it is finding the source of why you're upset is one of the most important things.
00:32:18.000 Hear me out.
00:32:20.000 When George Floyd died, it mattered whether or not he was also overdosing on drugs.
00:32:26.000 The Hennepin County Medical Examiner said yes.
00:32:29.000 When they started burning down Wendy's and looting stores, it mattered whether or not we were actually a systemically racist country.
00:32:37.000 When we locked down our country around COVID, we had to challenge the premise.
00:32:42.000 We said, wait a second, is this as deadly as you say it is?
00:32:44.000 Is it worth locking down schools?
00:32:47.000 Are there other interventions that can help getting your vitamin D level up?
00:32:52.000 Ivermectin, intravenous therapy, hydroxychloroquine, azithromycin.
00:32:59.000 So if I've learned anything over these last couple of years, anything, it's when the media gets 10 out of 10 fever pitch.
00:33:07.000 I like to take a couple steps back and say, is your premise a little bit off?
00:33:13.000 And on this Israel one, they're not off on the actual carnage. 0.67
00:33:18.000 100% right, obviously. 0.98
00:33:21.000 1,300 Jews massacred, slaughtered at the hands of Muslim terrorists. 1.00
00:33:26.000 And all those Muslim terrorists are going to be hunted down and killed. 1.00
00:33:30.000 And they will be. 0.99
00:33:31.000 But if we're acting as if that there is not everything here is exactly as we're told, it's not even exactly as told.
00:33:39.000 I'm just curious, in a country where the whole place is the IDF, why does it take 20 hours to get someplace?
00:33:43.000 And has anyone answered that question?
00:33:46.000 Has anyone answered the very simple question of eight and a half hours at Nuraz, eight hours at the festival, 20 hours at Kavar Azha, and 13 hours at Beir Arit?
00:33:57.000 Now, maybe the explanation is holy day, no one believed the warnings.
00:34:00.000 They were all just kind of resting.
00:34:02.000 In a country the size of New Jersey where you have tons of helicopters and tanks.
00:34:07.000 And maybe they said, well, it was a larger attack than we realized on our alarm systems.
00:34:10.000 We're all screwed up and the penetration of our border wasn't, you know, completely communicated.
00:34:15.000 Maybe it was. 0.97
00:34:16.000 Maybe it was a stars aligning tragedy.
00:34:22.000 But then tell us that.
00:34:23.000 Do a press conference.
00:34:24.000 Has anybody in the Israeli government done a press conference?
00:34:27.000 And somebody says, Charlie, it's not your business.
00:34:29.000 It's Israel. 0.51
00:34:30.000 It doesn't matter.
00:34:30.000 Well, no, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:34:32.000 Hold on.
00:34:33.000 Time out.
00:34:34.000 It actually is our business because the American government, 30 Americans are dead.
00:34:38.000 Is our business.
00:34:40.000 So don't give me that.
00:34:41.000 30 American passport holders, 30 of my American brethren are dead. 0.99
00:34:47.000 There's American hostages.
00:34:48.000 So it is our business.
00:34:49.000 Number two, Israel is largely dependent on the U.S. taxpayer.
00:34:52.000 I support sending that aid.
00:34:54.000 So therefore, when you send money, you just should get answers, right?
00:35:00.000 You subsidize.
00:35:01.000 You should get answers.
00:35:03.000 We should get a voice.
00:35:05.000 Has anybody from the Israeli government done a press conference?
00:35:07.000 I'm sure there's been a couple where they answer some of these questions.
00:35:11.000 The world deserves to know.
00:35:13.000 And most importantly, if you support murdering Hamas or killing Hamas like I do, then are the same people that made the biggest mistake in Israeli history still in charge? 0.62
00:35:25.000 If so, why?
00:35:26.000 Why haven't they been held accountable?
00:35:27.000 And why are we barreling towards something that could be another trap and another intelligence failure?
