00:00:42.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:54.000Brought to you by the Loan Experts I Trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage at andrewandTodd.com.
00:01:03.000We've spent a fair amount of time talking about how Israel is dividing the left and the Democrats.
00:01:10.000I mentioned this briefly with the great Candace Owens yesterday, and you should check out our conversation, by the way, with Candace Owens.
00:01:17.000And I said, Israel is also dividing the right.
00:01:20.000I could go through many different examples of this.
00:01:24.000Tucker Carlson is being called an anti-Semite in the New York Post.
00:01:29.000Candace Owens is being called to resign by Ben Shapiro.
00:01:33.000I have been attacked as an anti-Semite.
00:01:35.000And still this morning, a great rabbi came out and defended me to his great credit.
00:02:12.000And just before I even share that, I want to thank you personally as a Jewish follower of Jesus, as a rabbi of someone who has lost family in the Holocaust.
00:02:23.000I want to appreciate, I appreciate your stand with Israel.
00:02:28.000I've written a number of books with Kathy Lee Gifford called The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, Signs and Seeks with the Messiah, part of the Chosen TV series as a spiritual advisor.
00:02:40.000But part of our passion is to connect the old and new Gentile and Jew.
00:02:44.000I am Jewish, raised Jewish, but I am a Messianic Jew, a follower of Jesus.
00:04:13.000I think the first thing we need to understand is that it's important to stand with Israel like you have, because, you know, we are a nation that's based on Judeo-Christian values.
00:05:18.000And so let's talk about this because the bond that Christians and Jews have together is beyond deep.
00:05:27.000I mean, the Old Testament canon of Christianity is the Tanakh.
00:05:34.000It is the divine word of God, and it is a shared story.
00:05:38.000Talk about this, especially as we're in a time where radical Islamist and radical Marxist forces are coming after the values of the Torah, the values of Western society, the values of Christianity.
00:05:54.000Talk about how we have to focus on what unites us against people that we share nothing in common.
00:06:03.000And one of the reasons why there is this desire to separate Jews and Christians is that because when Jews and Christians unite, we become an unstoppable force for global change and transformation in the world.
00:06:19.000And part of what people need to understand is that we're trying to solve, we're trying to come up with political solutions to a spiritual problem, and you can't solve a spiritual problem with political solutions.
00:06:33.000So the key is for Jews and Gentiles to unite, understanding the fact that what brings the radical left to unite with Islamism, which is crazy because they are antithetical to everything the left stands for, everything our nation stands for.
00:06:53.000It's because they both hate the Judeo-Christian values and roots of our faith.
00:07:00.000And if we don't unite at this moment in time, what's going to be lost is more than Israel.
00:07:05.000It's going to be everything our nation stands for because they'll bring it here.
00:07:12.000So, Rabbi, explain to our audience that might not be as educated or aware, how would you summarize Judeo-Christian values?
00:07:20.000Yeah, I would summarize Judeo-Christian values as those biblical values rooted in the Ten Commandments, rooted in the exhortations of the prophets for morality and justice, also built on the teaching of Jesus and the New Testament that really laid the foundation of Western civilization and everything we know.
00:07:45.000So, for example, we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all people are created equal, endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights.
00:07:54.000That is not a doctrine found in Islam.
00:07:57.000That is a doctrine found from the book of Genesis where God says he made us in his image and therefore it is wrong to murder and kill because we're actually damaging God and his image within us.
00:08:11.000So these Western values of democracy, of freedom, of morality that our nation has been founded on, what has made us great, is rooted in the Old and New Testament, those Judeo-Christian values which gave birth to the Enlightenment and so many of the great things of Western civilization.
00:08:30.000And I think it's important to also understand that America has been Israel's greatest friend, which we're so grateful for.
00:08:38.000But I also think there's a promise that was given to Abraham in Genesis 12, where God says he will bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel.
00:08:48.000And I believe one of the reasons why America has been blessed is because they have been a blessing to Israel.
00:08:55.000That is said repeatedly in Genesis 12, 3.
00:08:58.000One of the first things that is said is that if you bless Israel, you will be blessed.
00:09:03.000And if you curse, it's also repeated more explicitly in the book of Numbers as well.
00:09:08.000Rabbi, how can people follow you, your work, your books?
00:09:11.000Yeah, Rabbi Jason Sobel on any social media, fusionglobal.org.
00:09:17.000And we have a new book called Signs and Secrets of the Messiah, a fresh look at the miracles of Jesus.
00:09:25.000Hey, everybody, Mike Lindellis, a passion to help you get the best sleep of your life.
00:10:35.000First, we should put America first as a priority.
00:10:40.000I mean, again, I'm grateful to the United States and everything that it's done for my family, for Israel.
00:10:47.000But I also think we have to understand a couple of things.
00:10:49.000One is approaching it from a spiritual perspective.
00:10:53.000In the Bible, if we believe the Bible, if we think it's foundational to who we are as a nation and our values, as you mentioned before, God made promises of the land of Israel to the Jewish people.
00:11:21.000And of course, it is going to be the center of the conflict because the scriptures has been clear from the very beginning.
00:11:29.000So I think spiritually, from a biblical perspective, it's very important.
00:11:35.000You can't be pro the Bible and anti-Israel when the Bible is very clear that Israel are the owners of the land and not the occupiers, according to some of the things that we're hearing out there from the other side.
00:11:52.000I think so, spiritually it's very significant.
00:11:54.000As we mentioned, there's a blessing for those who bless Israel.
00:11:58.000But I also think there's something else.
00:12:00.000You know, I think the United States and Israel is inextricably linked in the thoughts of the Islamists in the Arab world.
00:12:14.000And I believe radical Islam is a major threat to our nation, to the world, nations like Iran and others that surround them.
00:12:24.000And Israel is a beacon of light and a line of first defense against those nations.
00:12:31.000They call Israel the little Satan and America the great Satan.
00:12:35.000So I think even from the perspective of defense, from the perspective of God's blessing and God's promises, from the perspective of the future of what's going to happen, from the perspective of, listen, I go to Israel a lot.
00:12:53.000Christian and Muslim background believers in the Palestinian territories are persecuted for their faith and can't even go to Manger Square on Christmas because of the fact that you have these radical Muslims that attack them.
00:13:10.000If we don't care about Israel, the history and legacy of Christianity will be lost and eradicated.
00:13:20.000And we will lose the historical archaeological proof and evidence for the Bible.
00:13:25.000That's the way that Christians will be massacred as a result of it.
00:13:32.000Let me ask you, this is a theological question.
00:13:34.000Some of the disagreement amongst Christian circles comes down to this idea of replacement theology, which is that when Israel is mentioned, the church actually becomes new Israel.
00:13:46.000This was mainline church doctrine for hundreds of years, and it is no longer in most evangelical circles.
00:15:45.000For years, I've been talking about our nation's public schools and how they've been captured by progressive ideologues, teaching things that directly contradict the values of American families.
00:15:56.000That's especially true if you are a Christian family.
00:15:59.000For those of you worried about the best educational path for your kids and grandkids, I'm pleased to announce our new partnership with the folks at the Herzog Foundation.
00:16:08.000They are the trusted source on American K through 12 private education with a remarkable suite of resources for parents and grandparents thinking about making the switch from public schools to a Christian education.
00:16:20.000They have an online publication called The Lion to their new podcast, Making the Leap.
00:16:24.000The Herzog Foundation offers a wide range of advice and information for Christian parents to make the best education decisions for their kids.
00:16:33.000To learn more about how your family, faith, and community can flourish through a quality Christian education, go to HerzogFoundation.com.
00:17:42.000Because the Democrats are in bed with the environmentalists, and the environmentalists don't want anything built.
00:17:47.000There's a law called the California Environmental Quality Act that pretty much allows anybody to stop anything for any reason.
00:17:53.000Unions file lawsuits to stop developers from developing until they employ union labor, which means the costs higher.
00:18:00.000NIMBYism people file because they're NIMBYs, and the environmentalists file because they don't want any land spoiled in the land that they live on.
00:18:07.000So what's going on in California is we've had a nomination of Democrats for decades.
00:18:13.000Super majority of Democrats in the Senate, super majority of Democrats at the Assembly.
00:18:17.000So Republicans need not even show up for work.
00:18:19.000Charlie, there hasn't been a statewide Republican elected in California in over 20 years.
00:18:24.000As you know, I tried in 2021 during the recall election, lost it by about 20 points, assuming the election was fair.
00:18:32.000And this is what's going on in this state.
00:18:33.000Gavin Newsom wants to be president, I point out in my book.
00:18:37.000And if you think about it, name the policy that Joe Biden has enacted, whether it's the debt forgiveness, whether it's the trillions of dollars of spending, whether it's a pullout of Afghanistan, whether it's open borders, name the policy that Gavin Newsom has objected to.
00:18:51.000In fact, he effusively praised the way Joe Biden pulled out of Afghanistan.
00:18:55.000So assuming somehow, some way it's not going to happen that we were to swap out Joe Biden for Gavin Newsom, what makes you think the country would be any better off as far as the borders are concerned?
00:19:07.000He's a more extremist than Joe Biden is regarding climate change.
00:19:11.000He wants to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars in California by 2035.
00:19:16.000And in two days, by the way, after he issued that edict, he then issued an energy alert telling the 2.9% of people that do have EVs in California not to charge them during peak hours because it taxes the energy grid.
00:19:27.000This is what's going on in the great state of California.
00:19:30.000What people frequently say, Larry, and they live in the golden state, is, but what's the point?
00:19:57.000These are the worst numbers he's ever had.
00:19:58.000And the two reasons that people cite crime and homelessness.
00:20:02.000California has around 12 or 13 percent of the nation's population, but about 30 percent of the homeless.
00:20:07.000In the last few years, crime has gone up, depending upon the category, depending upon the city, while arrests have gone down because of the soft on crime policies that people like Gavin Newsom has pushed.
00:20:17.000Now, the reason I mentioned the poll numbers is maybe, just maybe, Charlie, people are beginning to wake up.
00:20:22.000Black third graders in California, 75% can neither read nor do math at grade level because of the way Gavin Newsom shut down California in a more draconian way than any of the other states.
00:20:34.000Inner city kids have lost two years of in-school education.
00:20:38.000That's going to translate into learning laws over their lives.
00:20:41.000And this is the kind of stuff that's going on in California.
00:20:43.000Gavin Newsom set up a panel for reparations.
00:20:46.000He has signed a bill that mandates, I'm not kidding you, that every publicly held corporation in California, depending upon its size, has to have a member of the LGBTQIA plus on its board of directors.
00:20:59.000This is what's going on in the state, and people are beginning to wake up.
00:21:03.000Here's what often happens, though, Charlie.
00:21:05.000You got people leaving some of the states that you just now mentioned, and they know they can't afford the price of a house, but they haven't connected the dots to the left-wing policies that have been killing housing units in California.
00:21:16.000We have the worst per capita housing rate of all the 49 states.
00:21:22.000We're 49th in terms of housing units per capita in America.
00:21:28.000We're probably down about three or four million units that we otherwise would have if California were a rational state.
00:21:33.000So people leave and they don't connect the dots between the policies that they've been voting for and once they left California.
00:21:39.000So they go to Florida, they go to Texas, they go to Washington state, they go to Arizona, and they vote the same way they voted, which is why they left in the first place.
00:21:49.000So at least when you leave California, you'll know why you left California and you won't bring the same left-wing vote that you enacted when you were here in California.
00:21:58.000As goes California, my mission to rescue the golden state and save the nation.
00:22:04.000You know, Larry, the picture of California being a liberal state is true, but I will say, having traveled the country and spent a lot of time, the second most state I spend time in is California, Phoenix, Arizona being one.
00:22:16.000And I have to say, there are still a lot of patriots in California.
00:22:21.000There is a remnant in California that is unprecedented.
00:22:26.000It is unparalleled in the whole country.
00:22:28.000It's different than the remnant in the Northeast.
00:22:30.000It is different than the remnant in Minnesota.
00:22:39.000I traveled up and down the state when I ran for governor in 2021, Charlie, and you ride through California in the middle of the state, all of a sudden, you see Trump signs everywhere.
00:22:48.000You take away San Francisco, take away LA and parts of San Diego, and California is actually quite normal.
00:22:58.000It used to be a big oil and gas state.
00:23:00.000All of 10 of the major oil and gas companies used to be headquartered here in California.
00:23:04.000We still do a lot of oil and gas work here in California.
00:23:06.000But there are a lot of rational, normal people who are fed up.
00:23:10.000When I ran for governor, I was drawing, according to security detail, Trump-like size crowds.
00:23:16.000I raised $27 million in around eight weeks.
00:23:19.000People really thought for a while that something might happen.
00:23:22.000The recall was in the margin of error for a while.
00:23:25.000And then in comes Joe Biden, in comes Kamala Harris, in comes Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and they all said the same thing.
00:23:34.000Nobody said Gavin Newsom is doing a great job in the way he shut down the state in a more severe way than anybody else.
00:23:39.000Gavin Newsom is doing a great job on crime on schools.
00:23:42.000All said, wait for it, stop the Republican takeover, because Californias have been indoctrinated to believe, no matter how bad things are, the actively Republicans would be worse.
00:23:51.000And that prevailed here in California.
00:23:53.000Yeah, I mean look, it's liberal politically, but it's not as left-wing as people think.
00:23:58.000Now, mind you, i'm not recommending any sort of policy change, but if you were to just remove San Francisco and La, the country's a I mean, the state is a right-wing state.
00:25:21.000Well, you heard him say that it is true that we're cleaning up because the premier, the dictator from China, is here, which means, when all they've been talking about the inability to figure out how to handle this problem, they can solve it if they choose to.
00:25:36.000One of the reasons we have this problem is that Gavin Newsom in 2011 said, come on down to California.
00:25:49.000So he is, in part, why we have the problem.
00:25:52.000He was the mayor of San Francisco Charlie, for two terms and he said, by the end of his second term, he was going to solve the homeless problem in the Bay Area.
00:26:01.000He spent eight years as lieutenant governor of California and sat around pounding the table saying he had nothing to do when I said, how about going back to San Francisco and completing the job on homelessness that you promised?
00:26:11.000This is a guy that can do something about this.
00:26:13.000When I ran for governor, I consulted with Dr. Ben Carson, Trump's hub secretary, and he said that he and the mayor of LA, a Democrat, had already agreed on a plan, because California the federal government is the largest landowner in California, as it is, I think, in almost every state, and there were large areas of land where low-cost housing could be built, because they wouldn't be subjected to the rules and regulations of local California laws and they would have had this problem solved.
00:26:39.000When Donald Trump did not get re-elected, Dr. Carlson said the whole thing dead, stopped in its tracks, but this can be solved.
00:26:46.000If the will is there, it can be solved, and that's what's so frustrating.
00:26:50.000He's acknowledging, yeah, we could do it.
00:27:18.000It was my job just to put up the fencing.
00:27:19.000And he said that the fencing job should have cost the taxpayers $200,000.
00:27:24.000But because they're forcing to use union labor and a bunch of other unnecessary rules and regulations, this guy said the job costs the taxpayers in California $5 million.
00:27:35.000That's why the homeless problem has not been solved.
00:27:37.000Whenever they build a unit, it's substantially higher than it would be if the private sector were doing it on non-expensive land.
00:27:46.000I think this is the right cut, guys, isn't it?
00:27:50.000So, you know, I got this boomer Marxist that asked me questions at UCLA all about race.
00:27:56.000And there is no one better than Larry Elder to respond.
00:27:59.000So I want you to listen to this old fool, and then I want you to respond because I know you've heard all this stuff before.
00:28:07.000It starts with my question, but then he asks his question.
00:28:10.000So just listen carefully to this boomer Marxist play cut 139.
00:28:15.000All right, you guys want to talk about that?
00:28:17.000Why don't you go to the one thing that could actually solve black poverty that works in the Asian community, in the Jewish community, in the Vietnamese community, every community, which is dads stay around.
00:28:29.000I think that you're pointing to the wrong cause of that in many cases.
00:28:47.000What can I do that a black person can't do?
00:28:50.000When an African-American defendant comes in front of a judge, they are less likely to be able to plead down their case from a felony to a misdemeanor.
00:29:38.000A kid raised without a father is five times more likely to be poor and commit crime, nine times more likely to drop out of school, and 20 times more likely to end up in jail.
00:29:47.000Lyndon Johnson, a Democrat, in the mid-60s, launched a so-called war on poverty.
00:29:51.000And since then, we have incentivized women to marry the government and incentivize men to abandon their moral and financial responsibility.
00:29:58.000Now, 40% of all kids in America enter the world without a father in the home married to the mother.
00:30:02.000And nobody, but nobody wants to talk about it.
00:30:04.000When they do, they talk about systemic racism.
00:30:33.000Because it was rare for a kid to be born without a father in the home married to the mother.
00:30:38.000An embracement of Judeo-Christian values, a belief in patriotism, even as America was not applying those values, and a strong belief in entrepreneurship, all of which right now are under assault by organizations like Black Lives Matter.
00:30:50.000On their website, they attack a nuclear family.
00:30:52.000The founders are self-described trained Marxists.
00:30:54.000Marx was an atheist who wanted to dethrone God, who hated capitalism.
00:30:59.000And obviously, they're not in favor of American patriotic values.
00:31:02.00080% of Black people support Black Lives Matter.
00:31:05.000So the very things that allow Black people to continue moving forward in the face of horrific, hideous racism are now all under attack right now by organizations like Black Lives Matter.
