00:00:36.000AmericaFest is going to be the amazing event of the year.
00:00:39.000We have Tucker Carlson, Patrick Bett, David, Candace, Owens, Glenn Beck, Rob Schneider, Roseanne Barr, Dennis Prager, Ali Bestucky, Jonathan Isaac, Tim Poole, James O'Keefe, Riley Gaines, Ben Carson, Michael Anton, Jason Whitlock, Gad Sad, Brandon Tatum, Seth Dylan, Jack Pesobic, Benny Johnson, Yan Mee Park, Michael Seifert, James Lindsay, and also Vivek Ramaswamy, Steve Bannon, Donald Trump Jr., and more.
00:01:24.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:02:15.000Walk us through, from what you can tell us, just how quickly you go from being at Shabbat, Yom Kippur, to war.
00:02:25.000But as far as what happened this last on October 7th, just what I haven't heard anybody, you know, from a first-person perspective, just what was that day like?
00:02:34.000Tell us about, because it was a 9-11 type psychological shift where you wake up with the intent to celebrate and you go to bed and your whole nation's at war.
00:02:43.000Yeah, well, it was Simchat Torah, which is the last of the high holidays, you know, that begin with Rosh Hashanah.
00:04:29.000And by lunchtime, we probably had eight or ten sirens that had gone off.
00:04:37.000And I'll tell you the thing that was stunning was that by this point, you know you're at war because the country's being inundated with missile fire, but there was no Air Force.
00:04:53.000And I said at lunch, has anybody heard an airplane all day?
00:05:53.000Well, I'll tell you, since I've served in the Israeli Army, and I was a reservist for 18 years, and people should never underestimate the capacity of a bureaucratic military organization to be stupid.
00:06:19.000Look, after the war, we're going to find out everything.
00:06:23.000But, you know, at this point, we already have three major intelligence figures who have publicly said, yes, I was on the call the night before.
00:06:34.000And, you know, we got the reports that something was happening, and we thought it was, we just thought it was nothing.
00:06:58.000Yeah, well, I mean, the normal thing is, if missiles are being shot at you, you scramble the jets and you bomb the places where the missiles are being launched.
00:07:12.000What is the, and so now here you're in the country, you're in our country, America, and I know that you have a passion for both Israel and America, as do I. What is the attitude on the ground in Israel right now?
00:07:23.000I mean, is it obvious you're a nation at war, but it seems as if there's this tension between winning the war and holding accountable and remembering the lost and they're still hostages?
00:07:37.000Yeah, look, there's definitely some degree of tension because there's still 130 people unaccounted for.
00:07:51.000Probably most of them are hostages, although we don't really know.
00:07:54.000They may have been killed after they were taken into Gaza.
00:07:58.000Lot of people have been killed there who we thought were hostages.
00:08:03.000So for sure, that's on everybody's mind.
00:08:06.000But politically, the country is more united than anything I've ever seen in my lifetime.
00:08:13.000There isn't really a left or right at this moment.
00:08:18.000The country is being the war is being run by a unity government which is, you know, the Netanyahu and and members of the opposition together, and they're clear on the war aims, the aims.
00:08:32.000One aim is to free the hostages, but the other, prior you know, the number one aim is to eliminate Hamas, eliminate the Muslim Brotherhood, which has been the, the government of Gaza for the last 16 years.
00:08:46.000And when they say eliminate, I mean they they, they mean to hold every member of that organization responsible for the, for the crimes they committed.
00:08:56.000And the third aim of the war is is to make sure that Gaza is never capable of being a military threat to Israel again.
00:09:10.000We have an extraordinary wall-to-wall unity like we've never seen before.
00:09:16.000I think the major question on everybody's mind is, you know, is how much pressure are the Americans going to put on us to stop before we attain those aims?
00:09:28.000Does the average Israeli believe that America has Israel's back right now, yes and no, and because the situation just is complicated people, people are incredibly loyal to, to President Biden and his administration incredibly grateful for the supply of munitions.
00:09:50.000I mean basically they're, you know there's, there's an aircraft leaving the United States every day with ammunition that Israel needs.
00:09:59.000Everybody's sincerely grateful for that.
00:10:02.000On the other hand, it's a you know it's not, it's it's not a simple relationship.
00:10:06.000Every, every morning, they send out, you know the, the munitions that we need, and every afternoon, somebody comes out of the.
00:10:12.000You know, the White House or the State Department starts, you know, talking about how there's going to be a, a Palestinian state in Gaza, and it's going to be.
00:10:25.000Kamala Harris said it was going to be transparent and accountable and like all of this stuff that you know we we heard this before the about Iraq, we heard it about Afghanistan, about Egypt, about Libya.
00:10:38.000This kind of the, these like kind of you'll forgive me these kind of Washington fantasies.
00:12:21.000Well, she's saying, I mean, the terrorist organizations that control Gaza and the West Bank, there's the Hamas, that's the Muslim Brotherhood that we're familiar with.
00:12:33.000A lot of people remember the PLO, right?
00:12:35.000The PLO was Yasser Arafats, you know, supposedly secular, but a fanatical terrorist organization which was brought in in the 1990s and given control of cities in the West Bank.
00:12:48.000Now, that's headed by a fellow named Abbas.
00:14:33.000I mean, you've got 8%, according to this weekend's polls, 8% of Israelis supporting Harris's, the Biden-Harris proposal that the Palestinian Authority, that the Palestinians should be brought to Gaza and given Gaza.
00:15:17.000I don't have the details to tell you exactly who was killed, but I will say this.
00:15:24.000We have been very clear about where we stand on this, which is innocent civilian lives should not be intentionally targeted and that Israel must do more to protect innocent life in Gaza and innocent civilians in Gaza.
00:15:56.000The extremely unfortunate truth is that in war people die.
00:16:01.000And there is no, I mean, she's mistaken, there is no Israeli intentional targeting of civilians.
00:16:06.000But it is true that if you're in a building and under that building is a tunnel complex and that tunnel complex has to be bombed and you have refused to evacuate your house for a month where you were being told, get out of the war zone, and you didn't evacuate, then I'm sorry, it's certainly unfortunate.
00:16:28.000Every life that's lost is a whole world, but you have to fight the war.
00:16:34.000Fighting the war means killing your enemies.
00:16:35.000These enemies are in the tunnels under those houses.
00:18:11.000There's no good solution, but things have got to change, and they will change.
00:18:16.000We're not going back to the status quo before.
00:18:19.000I mean, there's we did the Palestinian state in Gaza thing, and whatever there's going to be is not going to be that.
00:18:30.000So I think most Israelis don't want an Israeli occupation of Gaza indefinitely, but Israelis would prefer that to having United Nations peacekeepers or something.
00:19:48.000No, but seriously, I mean, the Egyptians and the Jordanians and the Saudis, they look at these people, you know, from Gaza in particular, the Muslim Brotherhood ideology, and they say, you know, they'll try to overthrow our government.
00:21:19.000This is a byproduct of unregulated mass migration coming into the Western world.
00:21:25.000One in seven people are foreign-born now in America.
00:21:29.000It's certainly unregulated mass migration is part of the problem, but I'm not convinced that the regulated migration was sufficiently focused on these kinds of problems either.
00:22:08.000But our polling right now is showing 50% of American Muslims support the massacres of October 7th and 8th.
00:22:18.000Look, that is, even if most of those people are just blowing off steam, how many of them do you need before you actually have a serious jihadist problem in the United States?
00:23:24.000Well, there is a ⁇ I wrote a book once called The Jewish State, The Struggle for Israel's Soul.
00:23:33.000Maybe some of your readers would be interested, listeners would be interested in it.
00:23:37.000That book is about the Jewish struggle against the establishment of the State of Israel.
00:23:43.000And there is this long history of liberal Jews opposing establishing the state of Israel.
00:23:50.000So when Theodore Herzl was organizing the Zionist congresses at the end of the 19th century and saying, hey, we Jews, we want to return to Israel.
00:23:57.000We want a state, his biggest opponents, his most bitter opponents, were liberal Jews who said, no, we don't want there to be a state of Israel because the idea of a Jewish state would raise the question of dual loyalty in the countries in which we live.
00:24:16.000So this issue of nationalist, conservative, and religious Jews mostly mobilizing with the idea of returning to Israel, while some liberal Jews have always opposed it.
00:24:36.000Now, most of that disappeared after World War II.
00:24:41.000I would say that other than the absolute most radical lunatic left, all Jews in the United States and all Jews in the world after the Holocaust ended up rallying behind the idea of a Jewish state.
00:24:54.000But if we look at, we've got Jewish intellectuals like Peter Beinhard, if you know him, and his position is that it's a traditional anti-Zionist position.
00:25:07.000He thinks all states should be neutral and there should be no such thing as a Jewish state.
00:25:13.000And unfortunately, these are like Dr. Norman Finkelstein, that guy, right?
00:25:51.000They're loud because people, the left wants to amplify those voices because it makes it look like we don't have overwhelming support for Israel from among Jews.
00:26:04.000At the moment, we have absolutely overwhelming support for Israel among Jews.
00:26:09.000And I actually think that since October 7th, there's the beginning of a shift among liberal Jews.
00:28:00.000So that's the question: is that majority of liberal Jews?
00:28:04.000Is there any chance they'll be less liberal?
00:28:07.000And I think that the letter that you just saw sent to Harvard, there were a couple of points there that were, you know, pretty amazing.
00:28:14.000I mean, one thing he said was, one thing that he said was that he feels guilty that it's taken him up until this tremendous explosion of anti-Semitism on the left to begin speaking out about things that have been going on for many, many years.
00:28:32.000So look, that's an honest regret saying repentance is a beautiful thing.
00:29:19.000And I just have to tell you, to me, they're all the same.
00:29:22.000Like, it's like the liberal Jews and the liberal Christians, liberalism is their God and their religion.
00:29:29.000And it leads them to all sorts of foolish things.
00:29:33.000And what we're going through now is horrible, but we should be pushing to get a change, to get liberals, liberal Jews and liberal others to change on two points.
00:29:49.000The second is on the public Christian character of this country, which we've talked about before.
00:29:56.000I think that people have to, at this point, begin to realize liberalism has created this vacuum in the public space, and that vacuum is being filled by this insane concoction of Islamic supremacism with woke neo-Marxism.
00:30:18.000Yeah, it's the same people from the George Floyd riots.
00:30:20.000This is like in 2020, we had the, you know, the six months of riots and burning and cultural revolution, and now we're doing it again.
00:30:33.000The holidays and big family feasts are upon us.
00:30:37.000But in D.C., it seems as if there's no bigger turkey than Senate Bill 1339.
00:30:42.000S1339 is Bernie's latest attempt to sneak in a backdoor takeover of more of our health care.
00:30:49.000He falsely claims it will lower prescription drug prices.
00:30:53.000But S1339 will actually do just the opposite.
00:30:58.000It'll handcuff pharmacy benefit managers who are currently saving millions of Americans an average of $1,040 a year.
00:31:07.000Bernie, the trickster, the Marxist, is hoping that thousands of your fellow Americans are already going to lowermydrugprices.com to stand up against S-1339, that you'll be too busy making holiday plans or getting ready for a year-end vacation to stop him from a power grab on your health care.
00:31:25.000I'm urging you to keep up the pressure against the passage of S1339 by going to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:31:34.000Council for Citizens and Government Waste says if you don't want a socialized system that takes away your personal health care choices, increases costs, and makes you wait longer to see the doctor that is chosen by the government, go today right now to lowermydrugprices.com.
00:32:47.000I think that the scales have fallen on the street.
00:32:49.000Look, there's a whole bunch of people, not just Jews, but Jews, many prominent liberal Jews among them, who've been saying for years there's a problem with anti-Semitism in the United States and it's on the right, right?
00:33:05.000There's been this slander against the nationalist camp that Trump is an anti-Semite and Hawley is an anti-Semite and Tucker Carlson and on and on.
00:34:28.000But in the summer after the George Floyd riots, when the New York Times kicked out all these liberal journalists and when Princeton erased Woodward Wilson's name from the university, that was a watershed event in the political configuration within the institutions of American liberalism and internationally, by this is true in Britain and Europe also.
00:34:57.000That change, we have to get used to it, it took us from the old liberalism, you know, which was capable, it was all about tolerance, was capable of tolerating some number of people like you and me.
00:35:28.000The people in charge of these institutions now that have them under these institutions under their thumb, they're not liberals in the old sense.
00:35:37.000And their goal is the eradicate, is eliminate and delegitimize and expel.
00:35:44.000Delegitimize the Christian conservatives, the nationalists, delegitimize all of us and expel us from having any kind of role in public society.
00:35:58.000And that change, which we're now seeing moving forward another step.
00:36:03.000Now what's happening on these campuses is that in addition, there's a move to expel the liberal Jews.
00:36:09.000I mean, this is bizarre, but it's real.
00:36:14.000Is that these campuses, having now mostly delegitimized Christian conservatives, now they're taking the next step and they're saying, okay, let's delegitimize and expel the Jews as well.
00:36:28.000And look, I definitely think that Jews should have seen this many years ago.
00:36:58.000I think that we should always be open for people to reconsider their ways and their giving, especially when they say, look, I've been given to Harvard.
