00:00:47.000 Buckle up, everybody, here.
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 campuses.
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.
00:01:11.000 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. 0.91
00:01:22.000 So let's talk about Israel.
00:01:23.000 I've been to Israel multiple times.
00:01:26.000 Unlike most Americans, I can actually point to it on a map because I've been there.
00:01:30.000 There are more lies about Israel than almost any other country on the planet. 0.76
00:01:35.000 Now, Israel is not without fault.
00:01:37.000 I never make the argument that Israel is a perfect nation in how they handle anything.
00:01:45.000 However, they are the only nation in the Middle East that is a republic.
00:01:50.000 And they're also very clear, which I totally respect, about the type of nation that they want to be.
00:01:57.000 They want to be a Jewish nation.
00:02:00.000 And their immigration policies and their security policies are always in defense of their mission statement.
00:02:06.000 Now, why America can't also have the same immigration policies as Israel is really beyond me.
00:02:11.000 That's a different conversation for a different time.
00:02:13.000 So I was relaxing last week on my honeymoon with my wife and just enjoying the sun.
00:02:21.000 And these people were whispering, Israel, Israel.
00:02:24.000 It's like, what are you talking about, Israel?
00:02:26.000 And by the way, I've been through many of these before.
00:02:28.000 Here's basically how this always plays out.
00:02:31.000 Okay? 0.87
00:02:32.000 You got some gangsters that are terrorists, that call themselves Palestinian, made up term, that push the envelope a little too far. 0.99
00:02:41.000 They get a little too excited. 0.72
00:02:43.000 Israel tells them to stop.
00:02:45.000 They keep doing it.
00:02:46.000 It tells them to stop again.
00:02:47.000 Then Israel displays what they are, which is the most powerful military force in the Middle East with sophisticated weaponry, and they're not afraid to use it. 0.64
00:02:57.000 And so none of this necessarily surprised me.
00:03:01.000 And it really has put Joe Biden in a very difficult situation on how are they going to defend Israel?
00:03:08.000 Because the Democrat Party is by definition anti-Israel because they don't like the West and they don't like this idea of a nation that actually decides to defend itself based on a central organizing principle.
00:03:18.000 They prefer a global tyranny of a oneness rather than a multitude of hundreds of nations of people governing themselves with their own sovereignty.
00:03:27.000 Let's play some sound here.
00:03:29.000 Let's just go back into the history of Israel and make sure we all know what we're talking about here because many people don't.
00:03:34.000 They don't know the Belfour Declaration.
00:03:36.000 They don't know the 48 War.
00:03:37.000 They don't know the Six-Day War.
00:03:39.000 They don't know any of that stuff.
00:03:40.000 They don't know what Judean Samaria is.
00:03:42.000 They don't know what Jordan is.
00:03:44.000 They don't know how Gaza became Gaza.
00:03:47.000 They don't know what Hamas is.
00:03:48.000 They don't know how Egypt got the Sinai desert as a gift from Israel.
00:03:52.000 They don't know any of that stuff.
00:03:53.000 They don't know Hezbollah from Hamas the Chamas. 0.76
00:03:55.000 Let's go to Cuts 22.
00:03:57.000 This is Bernie Sanders' argument when it comes to Israel, CUT 22.
00:04:01.000 The Israeli government has evolved over the years into a pretty strong right-wing government, and their coalition now includes people who are overt racists.
00:04:15.000 And when you have the United States of America, Ellie, putting almost $4 billion a year into Israel, we have the right to demand that they respect the human rights of all people, including the Palestinians.
00:04:30.000 Now, again, this is Bernie Sanders going after Israel, of course, the only Jewish country on the planet where half of the world's Jewry, which is an actual term, by the way, live in Israel.
00:04:45.000 Half.
00:04:47.000 And mind you, the people that wish to abolish America off the map, the same reasons they want to abolish Israel off the map.
00:04:54.000 Israel is wealthy. 0.88
00:04:56.000 Israel is successful. 0.92
00:04:57.000 Israel has a mission statement of what their nation should be. 0.53
00:05:02.000 So let me just tell you one thing about Israel. 0.75
00:05:07.000 If every Arab country that surrounded Israel put down their guns, we would have peace. 0.99
00:05:13.000 If Israel puts down their guns, the Jews would be dead. 1.00
00:05:18.000 Do you know that Israel, on their most holy day, they were attacked from six different directions by every Arab country? 0.99
00:05:26.000 I want you to think about how evil this is. 0.99
00:05:29.000 That you attack every single country, every single direction on the Jews' most holy day. 0.91
00:05:36.000 Israel was almost conquered by their Lebanese and Syrian and Jordanian and Egyptian neighbors. 0.64
00:05:43.000 And so Israel said, okay, you're going to attack us on our most holy day. 0.94
00:05:46.000 They mobilized every single IDF soldier imaginable and pushed back the invaders. 0.98
00:05:56.000 And from that point forward, Israel has never played for a fool again.
00:06:00.000 Now, on Shabbos in Israel, you'll see almost people walking on streets, almost no motorized traffic. 0.75
00:06:10.000 But the one thing that Israel will never do again is they will never let their security guard down ever.
00:06:17.000 So let's get to this question here.
00:06:19.000 Is Israel abusing their neighbors?
00:06:22.000 Well, unlike the thieves and the smear merchants that run our activist media, we on this program, Andrew, Connor, all of us, we actually know this issue.
00:06:37.000 We know it really well.
00:06:39.000 Okay.
00:06:41.000 Have you ever heard of Pay for Slay?
00:06:46.000 Has anyone, have any one of the smear merchants that run the New York Times talked about pay for Slay?
00:06:51.000 So here's how Pay for Slay works.
00:06:53.000 And up until Donald Trump, the United States government was funding the Palestinian Authority.
00:06:58.000 And by the way, I'm going to go through what the Palestinian Authority is. 0.89
00:07:00.000 It's not a country, okay? 0.99
00:07:03.000 It's not a country.
00:07:04.000 They try really hard to make it a country. 1.00
00:07:07.000 They're just all Arab. 1.00
00:07:08.000 That's it.
00:07:09.000 That does not make them a country.
00:07:11.000 So here's what Pay for Slay is.
00:07:13.000 The Palestinian Authority, which is a provisional government that does not make them a country, receives tons of money from the world, right?
00:07:21.000 So you have probably one of the most evil people that you can imagine, this guy by the name of Mahmoud Abbas. 0.93
00:07:28.000 He's a gangster, okay? 0.88
00:07:30.000 Think of, I want to be a good example here. 1.00
00:07:34.000 Think of Tony Soprano speaking Arabic without any of the decency or love of his community. 1.00
00:07:45.000 At least Tony Soprano drove his kids to school every day.
00:07:49.000 Mahmoud Abbas doesn't even have schools to get their kids to go to school. 0.98
00:07:55.000 Mahmoud Abbas is a gangster and a really bad guy. 0.88
00:07:58.000 Okay, so he's the head of the Palestinian Authority government, if you can call it that. 0.89
00:08:04.000 So he goes around the world and he collects money from France and from Denmark, because really there is a deep-seated anti-Semitism.
00:08:13.000 There is.
00:08:14.000 Now, is Israel too aggressive at times? 0.89
00:08:16.000 Maybe. 0.93
00:08:17.000 I'm not going to get into that because you know what?
00:08:19.000 I will defend a nation's right to exist.
00:08:23.000 I love the idea of a nation.
00:08:25.000 I love the idea of a nation is a strictly biblical principle.
00:08:28.000 We'll get into that later in the show.
00:08:31.000 What I don't like is when other nations decide to say that one nation shouldn't exist.
00:08:35.000 That's imperialism.
00:08:36.000 That's what they accuse Israel of doing.
00:08:38.000 Anyway, so pay for sleigh.
00:08:41.000 Pay for sleigh is a government program sponsored by the gangster Mahmoud Abbas. 0.99
00:08:46.000 Do you know that if you go and bomb, let's just say you go kill three Jews in Jerusalem and you're an Arab Palestine, you're a PA person. 1.00
00:08:57.000 Let's say you go cut off the heads of three Jews in downtown Jerusalem. 0.99
00:09:01.000 Do you know that your children and your family will now receive money from the Palestinian Authority government? 1.00
00:09:09.000 Pay for Slay.
00:09:11.000 Do you know that thousands of people are subsidized by the Palestinian Authority government?
00:09:17.000 So let's say you're trying to make it big.
00:09:19.000 You want to win the lottery in the PA?
00:09:21.000 You want to make sure your family's taken care of. 1.00
00:09:23.000 All you got to do is go kill Jews. 1.00
00:09:26.000 What kind of moral equivalency is that? 1.00
00:09:28.000 So let me get this straight.
00:09:29.000 Israel has a defensive posture in the Iron Dome. 0.67
00:09:34.000 And the Arabs and the Palestinian Authority have government welfare programs that subsidize the decapitation and public massacring of Jews and Westerners.
00:09:43.000 Not even close.
00:09:46.000 And so this entire idea of Israel is really a broader indictment, not idea, but the question of Israel is this idea of what is a nation, should it exist, how did it form, and the whole history around it is a lot more complicated than you might realize.
00:10:01.000 We're going to go into the peace treaties.
00:10:03.000 Do you know that Israel, time and time again, comes to the table wanting to broker peace?
00:10:07.000 But Israel has a non-negotiable, and God blessed them for this, quite honestly.
00:10:12.000 And by the way, Iran has a similar non-negotiable.
00:10:15.000 Israel, we want to be a Jewish country.
00:10:17.000 Iran, we want to be a Muslim country.
00:10:19.000 That should be respected.
00:10:22.000 Look, by now, you've all heard me talk about my pillow and how Mike has done it again by introducing his My Slippers.
00:10:28.000 Mike Lindell, he's got a lot of ambition.
00:10:32.000 He's a patriot.
00:10:33.000 He loves his country.
00:10:34.000 A lot of people like Mike Lindell.
00:10:35.000 In fact, I get emails from people.
00:10:37.000 They say, Charlie, how can I help you?
00:10:38.000 How can I help Mike Lindell?
00:10:40.000 How can I help the country?
00:10:41.000 Well, if you go to mypillow.com and buy anything with the promo code Kirk, it helps both of us.
00:10:47.000 That's right.
00:10:48.000 Maybe you want to go buy the MyPillow slippers.
00:10:52.000 They're beautiful slippers.
00:10:53.000 Maybe you want to buy the My Pillow, My Pillow.

00:11:12.000 Or call 800-875-0425 and use promo code Kirk.
00:11:17.000 My worldview, I prefer sovereign nation states serve as a barrier to global totalitarianism.
00:11:24.000 All throughout the scriptures, there's this belief in biblical nationalism, loving one's people and one's land.
00:11:33.000 In Daniel 6 and Daniel 9, Daniel loved his nation enough to fast and pray for its rebuilding.
00:11:41.000 I respect a people to associate themselves and gather and organize their own government, their own nation.
00:11:51.000 I especially recognize and appreciate a people that have been so persecuted and so maligned to do so in a manner of which the land that they are entitled to, where their holy sites are, where their people have labored over, and the land of which that they have a deep and quite honestly eternal connection to.
00:12:16.000 The Arabs have no such claim to this land. 0.93
00:12:18.000 They don't. 1.00
00:12:20.000 And so what's been happening, let me just tell you how this thing's going to end, okay? 0.98
00:12:27.000 There is no end to this in Israel.
00:12:31.000 What's happened in this conflict? 0.99
00:12:32.000 That's going to be good for the Arabs. 1.00
00:12:34.000 Okay? 1.00
00:12:34.000 The Arabs should just lay down their guns and try again another day. 1.00
00:12:40.000 Israel is not going to allow their nation, their people, or their security to be compromised by a bunch of gangster Arab thugs that are subsidized by the Palestinian Authority to go kill Jews. 1.00
00:12:53.000 It's not going to end well. 1.00
00:12:55.000 Now, sometimes this lesson needs to be relearned every couple of years.
00:13:00.000 When Donald Trump moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, Palestinian Authority terrorists decided to try to charge the gates, and dozens of them were killed by doing so.
00:13:11.000 I remember I was in Israel when this was happening, and I'd be getting text messages.
00:13:14.000 Are you safe?
00:13:14.000 I'm like, yeah, it's perfectly safe.
00:13:16.000 Israel knows what they're doing.
00:13:19.000 And so I'm going to get to some more sound here. 0.92
00:13:22.000 Let's go to cut 40.
00:13:26.000 There you go.
00:13:27.000 Gensaki saying that they're pursuing different tactics than the prior administration.
00:13:32.000 So prior than Trump.
00:13:33.000 And so, yeah, okay, this is a good one.
00:13:34.000 Play cut 40.
00:13:35.000 I'm going to tell you what this means.
00:13:36.000 Thank you.
00:13:36.000 Again, I would say that we are not following the same tactics of the prior administration.
00:13:42.000 The president has reinstated humanitarian assistance and security assistance to the Palestinians.
00:13:48.000 That's something that was stopped back in 2018, and we felt was not a constructive action by the prior administration.
00:13:55.000 Aside from putting forward a peace proposal that was dead on arrival, we don't think they did anything constructive, really, to bring an end to the long-standing conflict in the Middle East.
00:14:05.000 Long-standing conflict of the Middle East. 0.99
00:14:06.000 Gensaki is such a dishonest hack.
00:14:09.000 Donald Trump brought the United Arab Emirates, the second wealthiest Arab country, I think I'm just on the top of my head, second wealthiest Arab country, maybe second or third, I don't know, in the Middle East with Sudan and Bahrain for a peace accord called the Abraham Accords, and Gensaki says they did nothing useful.
00:14:29.000 So first of all, she says Palestinians as if it's just something to throw out.
00:14:33.000 Here's a good question for you, Gensaki.
00:14:35.000 What is a Palestinian?
00:14:37.000 Can you answer that?
00:14:39.000 Now she'll say, well, it's someone who lives in, lives where?
00:14:43.000 In Judea and Samaria?
00:14:45.000 No, Palestinians are Jordanian refugees.
00:14:48.000 And so, and she says, well, the conflict, look, there is no conflict, okay?
00:14:51.000 The conflict is very simple. 0.82
00:14:53.000 You have poor Arabs that have been indoctrinated and have been, they have been misled to believe that Israel is the great terror in the world. 0.86
00:15:04.000 They hate the West at all costs, and they throw thousands of human beings at walls as suicide bombers to try to proliferate the conflict, not try to solve the conflict. 0.96
00:15:16.000 Israel has gone in good faith to try to solve this conflict time and time again.
00:15:21.000 Now, it's important to remember that Israel agreed to most of what the PLO wanted, but Arafat, at the time, balked and walked away because of a fear of assassination.
00:15:33.000 Most people don't remember that.
00:15:35.000 If you look at a map of where Israel used to be, it's only gotten smaller since the 1960s.
00:15:43.000 Do you know Israel used to control the North Sinai and they gave that to Egypt?
00:15:48.000 Israel used to control Gaza, where a lot of this conflict seems to always emerge from.
00:15:55.000 And then also, what should America's stance towards Israel be?
00:15:58.000 It's very simple.
00:15:59.000 America's stance towards Israel should be to allow and to empower any nation that shares our values to defend oneself insofar it does not put our nation or our people at credible risk.
00:16:16.000 With the ever-increasing numbers of makes, fiat kia, and models, it is now impossible to stock all the parts you need on a traditional chain storefront.

00:17:37.000 So let me tell you a story.
00:17:39.000 When I was in Jerusalem one of the times, I met a good friend of mine, Matan, who runs an organization in Israel called Imtritsu.
00:17:51.000 He's great people.
00:17:52.000 And we met in the King David Hotel for breakfast.
00:17:55.000 And he said, I'm going to show you all around Israel in a way you've never seen before.
00:17:58.000 He said, oh, great, terrific.
00:18:00.000 He said, we're going to Hebron.
00:18:02.000 And my now wife, Erica, said, we're going to Hebron.
00:18:07.000 You see, she knew what Hebron was.
00:18:10.000 I said, oh, I trust these guys.
00:18:11.000 And they said, yeah, don't worry.
00:18:12.000 We have weapons.
00:18:14.000 I said, okay.
00:18:15.000 So Hebron is a very famous city.
00:18:17.000 It's covered a lot by the Western press.
00:18:21.000 And Hebron is where the Hall of the Patriarchs is.
00:18:26.000 It's where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, and I think it's Rachel.
00:18:32.000 No, no, no.
00:18:33.000 We'll look at it.
00:18:34.000 Are all buried.
00:18:36.000 It's a very important place in Judaism and also in Christianity. 1.00
00:18:41.000 And the Muslims, of course, wanted to get in on the action.
00:18:45.000 And so then they're allowed to alternate. 0.98
00:18:47.000 So I remember we were driving down to Hebron from Jerusalem with my friend Matan driving.
00:18:53.000 And I remember I saw this sign.
00:18:55.000 And so I remember this sign.
00:18:56.000 There was a big arrow right down the middle.
00:19:00.000 And then there were two arrows coming out that were both red.
00:19:04.000 And I turned to Matan and I said, what does that mean?
00:19:08.000 What happens if I would go where the red arrow is?
00:19:10.000 Because we'd go through these roundabouts going southwest from Jerusalem to Hebron.
00:19:14.000 You go to a roundabout, roundabout, roundabout.
00:19:17.000 And he says, oh, he said, if you go to where the red arrows are, you die.
00:19:22.000 What are you talking about?
00:19:23.000 I die.
00:19:25.000 Because I kind of have this belief that we weren't going to Hebron, that we were going to Lake Huron or something.
00:19:32.000 No, he said, you know, if you go to the right down the street, you die as a Westerner, as a Jew, as a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. 0.89
00:19:43.000 And so he said, look, if you go down there after a mile or two miles, you'll be stopped by an Arab, and they will destroy your car, kill you, or at least batter you so badly that we'll have to come in and rescue you and use IDF soldiers to come in there. 0.78
00:20:00.000 What he was describing were the different zones that are all throughout Judea and Samaria. 0.78
00:20:05.000 And I said, What happens if an Arab comes into Israel? 1.00
00:20:08.000 He says, Oh, we try to bring them back. 1.00
00:20:11.000 They might try to work.
00:20:12.000 I said, Oh, what an amazing moral double standard that if Jews, or myself, a Christian, go into any other zone, let's say I go into the different sphere of Hebron, I lose my head. 0.54
00:20:35.000 Let me read you what the sign says: This road leads to Area A under the Palestinian Authority. 0.70
00:20:40.000 The entrance for Israeli citizens is forbidden, dangerous to your lives, and is against the Israeli law. 0.97
00:20:48.000 What an interesting moral equivalency. 0.99
00:20:50.000 There is none. 0.98
00:20:51.000 So I got to Hebron, and Hebron literally, the Jews control one street in Hebron. 0.99
00:20:57.000 3% of Hebron, the Jews control. 1.00
00:21:00.000 The rest is all Arab. 1.00
00:21:02.000 When I mean all Arab, I mean all Arab.
00:21:04.000 And I said to our guide, Matan, this is the controversy.
00:21:10.000 And there's always stabbings and there's shootings.
00:21:12.000 And we went right there.
00:21:13.000 We walked right on the streets of Hebron, right by people that were given a side eyes.
00:21:19.000 And God bless some IDF soldiers.
00:21:22.000 If you know what IDF is, it's Israeli Defense Force.
00:21:25.000 They have mandatory conscription in Israel.
00:21:30.000 And we went up to the hill, and I remember looking down in all of the Hebron Valley.
00:21:34.000 I said to myself, This is what the West is so upset about.
00:21:37.000 This is what AOC and Rashida Tlaib are so upset about.
00:21:40.000 This is what they get so angered about.
00:21:43.000 There is no moral equivalency.
00:21:45.000 What is the number one piece of weaponry that the Israeli government spends money on?
00:21:51.000 Defensive weapons, like the Iron Dome.
00:21:55.000 Israel spends their money on defending themselves, not attacking their neighbors.
00:22:00.000 Israel always gives land back, always. 0.77
00:22:03.000 Go and have the Sinai. 0.98
00:22:05.000 Go ahead. 0.98
00:22:05.000 Have Gaza. 0.98
00:22:06.000 Let's talk about Gaza for a second. 0.92
00:22:09.000 Gaza used to be all Israeli occupied, used to have vineyards and factories.
00:22:15.000 It used to be a place where thousands of Jews lived quiet and peaceable lives.
00:22:21.000 In the pursuit of peace, the Israeli government made a massive mistake.
00:22:25.000 In fact, I sat next to a guy at some dinner at some point who was part of these discussions.
00:22:31.000 He said it was one of the worst decisions that he was ever involved in, and he deeply regrets it.
00:22:37.000 Where he said that if we basically the deal was you pull out of Gaza, give it to the Palestinian Authority, even though Gaza is non-contiguous with the rest of the Palestinian Authority.
00:22:55.000 So if you have a map of the Palestinian Authority, you have Israel.
00:22:58.000 On the eastern part is Judea and Samaria, where they control far too much. 0.79
00:23:02.000 They control, I think it's called Nablus, which is the, I always mispronounce it. 0.89
00:23:06.000 It's their capital, Nablus, up to the north.
00:23:10.000 And then Gaza, which is its own thing. 0.98
00:23:12.000 Now, Gaza is one of the scummiest places on earth. 0.99
00:23:16.000 Okay. 1.00
00:23:16.000 It is run by criminals. 1.00
00:23:18.000 It is run by people that do not have the best interests of the West or Israel at heart. 0.82
00:23:24.000 And quite honestly, there's a lot of citizens that are held captive by the Palestinian Authority terrorist Hamas government.
00:23:32.000 Police forcibly removed Jews from Gaza in the pursuit of peace.
00:23:35.000 And what did Israel get in return? 0.57
00:23:37.000 They got a hotped. 0.98
00:23:39.000 They got a factory.
00:23:40.000 They got an open-air incubator of radicalism.
00:23:46.000 And so just recently, I just read this story this morning because I've been off the grid and kind of got into this.
00:23:52.000 I had to reread this like five or six times.
00:23:55.000 That the Associated Press, AP, an American news agency, they had an office, they had a bureau in Gaza, even worse than that. 0.71
00:24:07.000 They shared a building with the Hamas weapons factory.
00:24:12.000 So I want you to imagine it's 9 a.m. and you work for AP in Gaza.
00:24:18.000 You're going to work and you get into the elevator.
00:24:22.000 And all of a sudden, someone comes in.
00:24:24.000 You say, oh, what floor?
00:24:25.000 Eight.
00:24:27.000 Like, okay.
00:24:28.000 So what do you do? 1.00
00:24:30.000 I killed Jews. 1.00
00:24:32.000 Oh, sweet. 1.00
00:24:34.000 Let's get lunch sometimes.
00:24:36.000 Bing, elevator opens.
00:24:39.000 When they had building parties, did Hamas bring the weapons and the AP bring the Hamas?
00:24:48.000 The Associated Press was literally sharing a building with the worst terrorists that we could imagine.
00:24:56.000 In fact, Associated Press Matt Friedman wrote in The Atlantic, quote, during my time at the Associated Press, we helped Hamas get this point across with a school of reporting that might be classified as surprising signs of moderation. 0.83
00:25:12.000 Oh, you helped Hamas.
00:25:14.000 Friedman specifically notes how the AP dutifully reported Hamas's spin on the situation in Gaza to craft a narrative that Israel is oppressive and Palestinian are innocent. 0.68
00:25:24.000 Does that sound familiar?
00:25:25.000 Oppressor and oppressed?
00:25:27.000 Here's how the way you have to look at this. 0.98
00:25:29.000 The Palestinians, they're leftists. 1.00
00:25:32.000 They're always complaining, constantly playing the victim, never wanting peace, conflict as a means to get more power, abolish the West. 0.98
00:25:41.000 Whereas Israel, again, Israel makes plenty of mistakes, okay? 0.52
00:25:44.000 That's not what we're talking about here. 0.73
00:25:47.000 Israel is like any other nation, but the general pattern of behavior is justifiable defensive posture from Israel to defend themselves and to defend their nation and to defend the Jewish people.
00:26:01.000 A professor of public policy and political sociology at the Open University of Israel says, quote, the unintended consequences of the Iron Dome complicate the story by reducing the expected costs of bombing Gaza.
00:26:14.000 Iron Dome allows Israel to act with less concern for civilian casualties and gives Israel less incentive to find a political solution to its conflict with Gaza.
00:26:22.000 So basically, the reason why Israel is in such a good position is that they're able to protect their citizens too nicely.
00:26:31.000 So what are American politicians saying about this?
00:26:34.000 And by the way, in Hebron, it is Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah.
00:26:40.000 Jacob and Leah, Isaac and Rebekah, Abraham and Sarah.
00:26:45.000 And by the way, just so you guys know, the people that call themselves Palestinians, I never call them that.
00:26:49.000 They're Jordanian refugees.
00:26:52.000 And King Abdullah, who I believe is the head of Jordan, who actually technically, here's a fun little fact, is allegedly the 17th.
00:27:00.000 No, that's not right.
00:27:02.000 No, no, no. 0.95
00:27:03.000 He's like the 56th direct descendant of Muhammad. 0.92
00:27:07.000 Connor can fact check there.
00:27:08.000 It's all debated.
00:27:09.000 The Arabs fight over that all the time.
00:27:10.000 Let's get to some sound here of what do our politicians think of Israel and why is it that the American left is so obsessed with Israel?
00:27:20.000 Cut 44.
00:27:22.000 Actually, no, let's play it.
00:27:22.000 Let's play them all.
00:27:23.000 Let's go one through one. 0.96
00:27:24.000 Let's start with Rashida Talib, who's Cut 41.
00:27:29.000 What we are telling Palestinians fighting apartheid is the same thing being told to my black neighbors and Americans throughout that are fighting against police brutality here.
00:27:41.000 There is no form of acceptable resistance to state violence.
00:27:46.000 As long as the message from Washington is that our military support for Israel is unconditional, Netanyahu's extremism, right-wing government will continue to expand settlements, continue to demolish homes, and continue to make the prospects for peace impossible.
00:28:02.000 Wait, so let me get this straight.
00:28:04.000 So she says that the Palestinians are living under the same conditions of black people in the United States.
00:28:09.000 Okay, so according to her, the Palestinians have it so good that Palestinians can become professional athletes, president of their own country, attorney general, and run mega corporations and become billionaires like Oprah Winfrey. 0.56
00:28:26.000 AOC, cut 42, the United States must acknowledge its role in the injustice and human rights violations of Palestinians. 0.72
00:28:32.000 We'll get the Connor, find the clip somewhere. 0.68
00:28:35.000 She screwed up the whole Israel thing years ago and she wants to make us forget. 0.64
00:28:38.000 She couldn't find Palestine on a map because it doesn't exist.
00:28:41.000 Cut 42. 0.71
00:28:43.000 And the United States must acknowledge its role in the injustice and human rights violations of Palestinians.
00:28:53.000 This is not about both sides.
00:28:59.000 This is about an imbalance.
00:29:00.000 It's not about both sides.
00:29:02.000 It's always about power, isn't it? 0.96
00:29:05.000 It doesn't matter if Israel is a moral country. 0.84
00:29:07.000 It doesn't matter if Israel's trying to defend the Jewish people.
00:29:10.000 No, it's about not being in power.
00:29:12.000 And that's what the left has always cared about.
00:29:14.000 Power as an end, not as a means.
00:29:18.000 Let's go to cut 44, Elon Omar, the ingrate, an ingrater who has decided to become a congressperson.
00:29:28.000 Cut 44.
00:29:29.000 The Israeli government and their far-right ethno-nationalist leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, has legally razed Palestinian ancestral homes, leveled entire neighborhoods, and violently suppressed any resistance.
00:29:48.000 This is all to make way for illegal Israeli settlement outposts designed to displace Palestinians from their homes and prevent a future Palestinian state.
00:29:59.000 The question is, is Elon Omar defending the West or is she articulating some sort of strange, bizarre, Mogadishu-style government? 0.72
00:30:09.000 It's an honest question.
00:30:10.000 I mean, Elon Omar is someone that I do not think loves America.
00:30:14.000 I've never heard her say a good thing about America.
00:30:15.000 I think she hates the country.
00:30:17.000 I think that she has a lot of loyalty to this kind of Arab-Islamic Somali worldview. 0.91
00:30:25.000 I really do.
00:30:27.000 Next cut here.
00:30:28.000 I'm sure they're going to love that.
00:30:30.000 Let's go to cut 45.
00:30:33.000 Representative Corey Bush.
00:30:35.000 She stands in solidarity.
00:30:37.000 Prioritize funding life, not destruction.
00:30:41.000 So today, we remember Bassam.
00:30:43.000 We remember his resistance in the face of militarized police occupation as a St. Louis and a Palestinian.
00:30:50.000 We lost him to a health crisis, but we remember his words today.
00:30:53.000 Until all our children are safe, we will continue to fight for our rights in Palestine and in Ferguson.
00:30:59.000 We stand with you in solidarity.
00:31:02.000 Palestine to Ferguson.
00:31:03.000 Now, for those of you that are young, you might not remember what Ferguson was.
00:31:07.000 That was where the big lie of BLM started.
00:31:11.000 The hands up, don't shoot, something that was never said, never happened.
00:31:14.000 Took the country by storm by cable pundits and the smear merchants that run the activist press.
00:31:19.000 That started BLM Incorporated as we know it. 0.54
00:31:21.000 Now remember, this is AOC, who she attacks Israel, apartheid, say all this, and I would love, I mean, this actually would be a very fun thing.
00:31:29.000 I'd love the squad to be in a room, Rashida Talib, Elon Omar, Ayanna Presley, AOC. 0.51
00:31:35.000 Now, Elon Omar probably could do this because she knows the region rather well, would be to fill in where these countries actually are.
00:31:42.000 Like, go ahead, AOC.
00:31:43.000 Go tell me where Lebanon is.
00:31:45.000 Is Syria to the north or to the south?
00:31:49.000 This was Cut 48. 0.77
00:31:50.000 Remember this? 0.96
00:31:50.000 AOC attacks Israel, and then she just makes a spectacle of her ignorance. 0.96
00:31:55.000 It's just, she should charge tickets.
00:31:58.000 This is how interesting it is.
00:31:59.000 Cut 48.
00:32:00.000 I also think that what people are starting to see, at least in the occupation of Palestine, is just an increasing crisis of humanitarian condition.
00:32:13.000 You used the term the occupation of Palestine.
00:32:19.000 I think what I meant is like the settlements, places where Palestinians are experiencing difficulties.
00:32:28.000 Do you think you can expand on that?
00:32:29.000 I am not the expert on geopolitics on this issue.
00:32:33.000 Yeah, you admit, you're not the expert on geopolitics.
00:32:36.000 Then you shouldn't comment on it.
00:32:38.000 All of this comes down to a supposed eviction that has happened in East Jerusalem.
00:32:43.000 This happens every so often, but it's more than that. 0.98
00:32:46.000 The Arabs and the Palestinian thug terrorists act exactly the same as the leftists. 0.91
00:32:51.000 The only difference is that Israel actually draws the line and they say, you're not going to destroy our country. 0.96
00:32:58.000 Conservatives, we're happy to do that in America.
00:33:00.000 We can actually learn something from Israel.
00:33:03.000 Where is the American conservative Iron Dome?
00:33:06.000 Where's our Iron Dome every time the left decides to try to launch rockets at our core cultural institutions?
00:33:12.000 Where is our Iron Dome when they teach our kids critical race theory? 0.86
00:33:16.000 I respect Israel for this. 0.97
00:33:18.000 I really do.
00:33:19.000 They have a nation, they love that nation, and they are willing to do whatever it takes to defend something they love.
00:33:28.000 It's about time for conservatives to learn and not just defend Israel.
00:33:32.000 That's fine.
00:33:32.000 We do that a lot.
00:33:33.000 But maybe say, huh, maybe Israel is going to outlast America because they're actually willing to defend what they love against terrorist thugs that want to destroy them.
00:33:43.000 And their immigration policy, by the way, lines up with that. 0.75
00:33:46.000 They say if we have too many Arabs coming into our country, they're going to have children and we're going to lose our identity as a Jewish state.
00:33:52.000 They're unapologetic about it. 0.69
00:33:54.000 And then we have to be lectured by these organizations like ADL that comes out and they say, oh, you're a racist for saying that. 0.98
00:34:01.000 That's what Israel does.
00:34:04.000 I will defend Israel based on facts and based on reason and what's in the best interest of Western society. 0.82
00:34:10.000 But I also think there's a lesson here.
00:34:12.000 Israel will continue to exist because they take this so seriously.
00:34:17.000 And they do not allow them to have an inch. 0.56
00:34:20.000 American conservatives can learn something from that.
00:34:22.000 Thanks so much for listening, everybody.
