Summary

On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with my good friend, Rabbi Shimon Peiner, to discuss the latest attempt at gun grabs by the Biden administration, anti-Semitism on our campuses, and why the Second Amendment is so important.


Transcript

00:00:00.240 Hey, welcome to the Best of for Monday. A really great show for you today. I think you'll really enjoy it.
00:00:07.360 A lot to say about another attempt at gun grabs from the Biden administration.
00:00:14.840 Also, what is happening on our campuses, what's happening in protests all around the world.
00:00:21.000 The anti-Semitism is off the charts. Why your Second Amendment is really, really important at this time.
00:00:30.520 And my message directly to the officials of the State of Israel.
00:00:35.900 All of that and more coming up on today's podcast.
00:00:38.540 First, I know what it feels like when you try to explain what it's like to live with pain to somebody who doesn't live with pain.
00:00:44.960 Their eyes kind of glaze over and they're like, get over it. What are you talking about? I got pain too.
00:00:49.500 Once you've lived it, I can tell you the only thing that completely changed things for me was relief factor.
00:00:56.200 And even that I didn't want to try. My wife made me. Thank God for that.
00:01:00.840 But I didn't think it would work for me.
00:01:02.960 It's a supplement that helps ease all of the aches and pains in your body.
00:01:07.540 And I don't know why it works for me, but it does.
00:01:10.460 And if you feel like you've tried everything, maybe it's time to give Relief Factor a try.
00:01:14.480 Get your life back. The three-week quick start 1995 trial pack, not a drug, but developed by doctors.
00:01:20.340 And hundreds of thousands of people have ordered Relief Factor and 70% of them go on to order more.
00:01:24.780 It's relieffactor.com. ReliefFactor.com.
00:01:28.240 Call 1-800-4-RELIEF.
00:01:30.520 Relief Factor. Feel the difference.
00:01:32.420 All righty. Wow. Stu, how are you?
00:01:51.860 Pretty well, Glenn. Wonderful, wonderful times we're in.
00:01:54.640 And I'm glad to spend them with you.
00:01:57.160 Wow. Thank you.
00:01:58.480 That's really my desire.
00:01:59.860 If it is end of days, it's not really the one I was thinking that maybe, you know who I want by my side?
00:02:04.660 Yeah.
00:02:05.160 Stu.
00:02:05.460 Oh, yeah.
00:02:06.340 All right.
00:02:07.080 So let me just show you some things that happened over the weekend.
00:02:12.540 You'll roll the drone shot here over London.
00:02:17.060 There was a massive, massive pro-Palestinian London rally in London.
00:02:24.980 London. And it was, I mean, London's lost. London's lost.
00:02:35.260 I was just there. And there were parts of London you just didn't go to.
00:02:42.420 It's no-go zones. It's like Paris. Just no-go zones.
00:02:46.680 Look at how many supporters of the Palestinians there are.
00:02:54.040 You cannot have a nation that is divided between life and death.
00:02:58.660 Can't.
00:03:00.820 And I'm sorry, but if you're choosing Hamas, you are choosing death.
00:03:07.180 There is no ifs, ands, or buts. It is so very, even, I don't know if you heard this, Hillary Clinton came out and said,
00:03:16.020 anybody who's asking for a ceasefire for Hamas doesn't understand Hamas.
00:03:22.060 I mean, Hillary Clinton came out and said that.
00:03:26.160 And it's right.
00:03:27.280 Meanwhile, here in America, here's a UMass teacher that will not condemn Hamas.
00:03:36.800 Listen.
00:03:37.400 You want to have terrorism. Why?
00:03:40.280 I'm not, as I tried to explain.
00:03:43.280 There's no explaining. Will you condemn terrorism?
00:03:45.500 You're a professor here and you won't do it.
00:03:47.580 Do you think the Hamas attack was terrorism to begin with?
00:03:50.780 What's that?
00:03:51.140 Do you think the Hamas attack was terrorism to begin with?
00:03:53.900 I mean, like, I think that there's, like, how do you, how do you define, look, as something that's in the,
00:04:03.080 Is that a freedom?
00:04:03.740 Something that's in the Jewish voice for peace statement about this that, like, has really resonated with me is that reality all begins on when you start the clock, right?
00:04:10.560 And so if you start the clock on Saturday, reality is going with one way.
00:04:13.880 If you start the clock, you know, in, like, the weeks prior, it's going to sound a different way.
00:04:18.080 No, you're trying to justify terror.
00:04:19.240 No, if you start the clock, you know, in 1948, it looks a different way.
00:04:23.240 You're a professor.
00:04:23.980 Will you condemn terrorism?
00:04:24.800 I'm not.
00:04:25.400 This is, this conversation is not actually.
00:04:26.700 It's a yes or no question.
00:04:27.480 It's not a yes or no question.
00:04:29.140 This is.
00:04:29.480 You think terrorism is justified if it's against Jews?
00:04:31.580 Is that what you're saying?
00:04:33.600 So, so that's putting words in my mouth, as you know.
00:04:35.720 I'm asking you to say yes or no, and you can't do it.
00:04:37.960 Because.
00:04:38.180 You're a professor.
00:04:38.840 You're smart enough to know.
00:04:39.700 Okay, stop.
00:04:40.880 This is amazing.
00:04:42.400 This is amazing.
00:04:42.900 It doesn't matter where you start the clock.
00:04:45.820 Somebody that walks into an innocent family's house and guns them down, rapes the children,
00:04:54.440 kidnaps people.
00:04:55.540 I don't care when you start the clock.
00:04:57.460 That's terrorism.
00:04:59.000 Period.
00:04:59.660 That's all it is.
00:05:01.020 It's mass murder.
00:05:02.880 It's psychotic behavior.
00:05:04.780 It is the embracing of death and everything that is evil.
00:05:09.500 Just like you can start the clock on, on, you know, September 10th, 2001.
00:05:16.840 You can start the clock on September 11th, 1972.
00:05:22.580 And it's still mass murder.
00:05:26.180 Still mass murder.
00:05:29.320 We have to be very clear.
00:05:31.420 And these people who have been playing the word games with us are very dangerous at this
00:05:36.820 point.
00:05:37.480 Your soul, truly, your soul is in jeopardy now on this very issue.
00:05:43.060 You can want peace.
00:05:45.420 You can worry about the Palestinians.
00:05:48.960 I prayed last night.
00:05:49.860 My family got down and we prayed last night for the Palestinian people.
00:05:54.520 I don't want any of them hurt.
00:05:56.480 But I do want the psychopaths that just revel in blood to be dead.
00:06:04.080 I do.
00:06:06.140 So now you have this huge rally in London.
00:06:09.560 Let me show you what happened in Germany.
00:06:12.840 Here are a cut eight.
00:06:14.120 German protesters chanting in Hamburg.
00:06:19.560 Look at this.
00:06:22.360 Allah Akbar.
00:06:23.220 Allah Akbar.
00:06:24.080 Allah Akbar.
00:06:26.480 How do you think this is going to end?
00:06:30.640 This is what happens when you just let anyone in that doesn't share your culture.
00:06:38.060 How do you think that's going to end?
00:06:42.340 In the most disturbing.
00:06:45.720 I've got a few cuts of this.
00:06:48.200 This is the most disturbing.
00:06:51.220 Cut five.
00:06:52.220 This is from Russia.
00:06:53.380 A Muslim mob goes into the airport in Russia, seeking to hunt down passengers from Tel Aviv.
00:07:06.280 They storm the airport.
00:07:10.180 They're looking for any Jews.
00:07:13.060 Here is, look at this.
00:07:18.580 Here is, cut six, the Russian mob surrounding and questioning a suspected Jew.
00:07:25.400 I'm Uzbekistan.
00:07:27.400 I'm Uzbekistan.
00:07:28.760 I'm a Uzbek.
00:07:33.860 Hey, make sure no one walks past us.
00:07:38.740 Are you trying to mess with us?
00:07:40.420 Calm down.
00:07:45.520 I've got his passport.
00:07:48.680 So this guy is, this guy is surrounded by, what would you say, 50 people, Stu?
00:07:55.600 Yeah.
00:07:57.220 Surrounded on all sides.
00:07:58.920 They've taken his passport.
00:08:06.280 They've taken his phone.
00:08:07.600 Get his phone.
00:08:08.180 Get his phone.
00:08:11.340 And they're accusing him of being a Jew.
00:08:15.020 I don't know.
00:08:16.440 I don't know, gang.
00:08:17.560 How far are we from World War II?
00:08:19.900 Final one.
00:08:24.040 Here's the Russian mob firing warning shots at the police, not the other way around.
00:08:30.640 That's the mob shooting at police.
00:08:51.840 Trying to get them to abandon their post at the gate to the airport.
00:08:56.240 This is Russia.
00:08:57.300 Now, what do you think has empowered this?
00:09:01.740 This is empowered because Vladimir Putin met with the leaders of Hamas.
00:09:09.720 I think it was Friday.
00:09:12.160 Hamas released the Russian kidnapped individuals.
00:09:16.840 So they're back at home in Mother Russia.
00:09:19.880 Do you think that maybe Russia is on the wrong side?
00:09:24.240 Do you think you're far from another program in Russia?
00:09:30.380 This is why Israel exists.
00:09:33.320 And it must.
00:09:44.820 Meanwhile, Kamala Harris was on 60 Minutes.
00:09:49.820 And here's her message to Iran.
00:09:54.040 What's the message to Iran?
00:09:55.700 Don't.
00:09:57.040 As President Biden said, just don't.
00:09:59.100 Exactly.
00:10:00.560 One word.
00:10:01.940 Pretty straightforward.
00:10:05.500 I bet that chills him to the bone.
00:10:07.760 So where do we go from here?
00:10:17.600 Really, it's really, it's simple.
00:10:20.220 It is really, really simple.
00:10:21.660 For those of us who haven't closed their hearts to the Palestinians or to the Israelis, we haven't closed our hearts because we're angry at everything that is going on.
00:10:39.600 Look at, look at what, how you're being pushed.
00:10:43.380 How is it in 2009?
00:10:47.400 I was warning about anti-Semitism that we would see, this is a quote, we would see the hatreds of old rise again.
00:10:58.600 Remember how they used to make fun of me always having Nazi symbols and things on my chalkboard?
00:11:03.880 Maybe now they're beginning to understand why.
00:11:08.660 I wasn't comparing people to Nazis.
00:11:11.320 I was saying at the time, this kind of philosophy comes from Marxism.
00:11:18.960 It comes from collectivism.
00:11:21.320 It comes from do the duty of the society.
00:11:25.660 In societies that are collective like this, mobs are allowed to form like this because it's what's good for the majority.
00:11:39.260 And sometimes the majority goes insane.
00:11:43.840 That's why we are a nation of the individual, not the majority, not mob rule.
00:11:51.060 But look at how the mobs have gathered around the left.
00:11:57.020 It's all mob behavior.
00:12:00.360 And like I just said, what do you think that that happened?
00:12:04.220 Well, how did that happen in Russia where they'll just throw you off a roof or just shoot you someplace and nobody's going to ask any questions?
00:12:13.960 How do you think you're going to get away with that with all the airport security and your face on it?
00:12:21.780 You were fine.
00:12:23.780 The state's not going to do anything about it because the state most likely agrees with you.
00:12:30.600 The state can use you as a useful idiot.
00:12:35.560 What is our government done?
00:12:37.540 Every time there's a mob on the street, what happens?
00:12:44.420 They dismiss it.
00:12:47.040 There's no police.
00:12:48.280 There's no FBI informants among the have you ever heard of an FBI?
00:12:52.880 Well, we had several FBI informants on the street.
00:12:57.360 I haven't heard that ever.
00:12:59.020 The only time I hear that.
00:13:01.000 Is when things look a little suspicious for January 6th.
00:13:04.760 If that was a legitimate mob, they all deserve to go to jail.
00:13:10.880 Those who were doing, you know, damage to the building and breaking the law, hurting policemen, which didn't happen.
00:13:19.200 We now know.
00:13:21.320 Thank you, Blaze.
00:13:25.000 So.
00:13:27.080 What are we creating here?
00:13:30.820 I contend we're creating the same exact scenario.
00:13:34.760 Let me give you something that maybe, maybe we should pay attention to.
00:13:40.320 I don't know.
00:13:42.420 Illegal border crossers have just surpassed 10 million people since Biden took office.
00:13:51.640 That's our guess.
00:13:53.480 We don't know.
00:13:54.540 10 million people now have been reported to illegally entering the United States since January 2021.
00:14:06.100 This is the largest number in American history.
00:14:10.280 10 million people.
00:14:11.600 So, you know, that is 3 million more than New York City.
00:14:17.260 10 million, you're starting to enter Los Angeles territory.
00:14:26.280 You're in one of the top 10 cities in America, top five cities for sure in America.
00:14:31.840 And we don't have any idea who they are.
00:14:35.480 Well, we kind of do.
00:14:37.100 We kind of do.
00:14:38.840 Remember, they're all good, hardworking families.
00:14:43.500 Hmm.
00:14:44.620 According to a to a source inside the Border Patrol, the influx of special interest migrants.
00:14:52.000 I'll give you the definition of that here in a second continues.
00:14:57.280 In fact, 100 Syrian and 50 Iranian nationals have been apprehended by the Border Patrol since the beginning of this month.
00:15:08.120 The 29th, 150 Syrian and Iranian nationals have been apprehended, have been caught on our border in the last, what is it, the 29th?
00:15:23.340 The last 29 days.
00:15:27.300 Now, how many have crossed?
00:15:29.360 Oh, by the way, these are not families.
00:15:31.340 These are individuals coming in by themselves.
00:15:35.480 Right?
00:15:38.120 And the Biden administration would say, well, this is because, you know, there's there's war in that area.
00:15:44.880 Then why aren't you coming with your family?
00:15:47.960 Why are you coming just by yourself?
00:15:50.840 All of you.
00:15:52.060 All of you.
00:15:54.100 This is the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:15:56.680 I have been thinking over the last few days of what is happening in our world.
00:16:04.900 And when I saw the videos coming out of Russia at the over the weekend that were so reminiscent of the 1930s, I couldn't take it.
00:16:21.500 These are Palestinian supporters.
00:16:28.140 It's a gigantic mob.
00:16:31.600 They rush the airport.
00:16:33.600 They go into the airport and they're searching for Jews that have come off a plane from Tel Aviv.
00:16:39.940 Think of that.
00:16:44.160 The millions that were on the streets all over the world shouting death to the Jew.
00:16:51.600 I'm not sure why I was born.
00:17:01.200 I don't know if anybody can answer that for sure.
00:17:05.940 But you'll have inklings from time to time, maybe.
00:17:08.820 And I fully, fully expect to get up and I'm talking to the Lord and I'm like, OK, all right.
00:17:18.860 Did all these things.
00:17:20.180 Thought I was, you know, right.
00:17:21.620 Right.
00:17:22.060 And he's like, no.
00:17:25.100 No, I mean, really, you were supposed to be nice to that girl in the third grade.
00:17:30.180 You know, she was having bad time.
00:17:31.780 She was supposed to go.
00:17:32.680 But you didn't do that.
00:17:33.640 And you're like, oh, crap.
00:17:34.700 That was it.
00:17:35.260 I missed it in the third grade.
00:17:36.300 I could have chilled the rest of my life.
00:17:39.060 I don't know why I was born.
00:17:42.120 But there is something about the state of Israel.
00:17:45.700 That connects deeply to me.
00:17:50.600 And standing up.
00:17:53.700 This time, as opposed to every other time there has been a program or a Holocaust, 19 holocausts.
00:18:06.300 All of the programs where they would come in and just clean a town out of all the Jews.
00:18:14.600 To have the privilege to stand with.
00:18:20.020 The Jew.
00:18:22.820 Is a tremendous honor.
00:18:26.980 Spiritually.
00:18:27.460 So I want to read a letter that I wrote that I am sending to the state of Israel.
00:18:38.980 To Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the honorable officials at the state of Israel.
00:18:43.680 I write this to you in a time of profound significance.
00:18:48.820 A moment where history echoes its most harrowing and yet most resilient notes.
00:18:55.800 The present day world has eerily come to resemble the troubling shadows of the 1930s and 40s where our Jewish brothers and sisters once again bore the weight of unprecedented persecution.
00:19:08.580 The drums of war beat again.
00:19:11.820 And the haunting chants of prejudice against the Jewish people have once more risen from hushed murmurs to overt threats.
00:19:21.960 In this moment, I have chosen to ask you for citizenship in the state of Israel.
00:19:28.940 I have nothing to offer but my voice of support.
00:19:34.400 And some might say that my support might be more valuable as an independent voice.
00:19:39.400 Perhaps they're correct.
00:19:41.180 But my request for citizenship is not about words.
00:19:44.460 It is about deeds.
00:19:46.280 It is an irreversible step toward the darkness of the day.
00:19:52.780 In defense.
00:19:53.840 Too many humans, no matter what their faith, have run the other direction.
00:20:00.660 Hidden or just turned away from the monsters in the dark that have come for their neighbors and fellow brothers and sisters.
00:20:08.060 I wish to do the opposite.
00:20:11.020 I once said in a speech there in Israel from the steps of the Temple Mount.
00:20:15.500 If they must come for the Jew, then I must raise my hand and say, then come for me too.
00:20:22.460 For today I am a Jew.
00:20:25.780 Those were merely words.
00:20:28.500 I wish to turn my words into action.
00:20:33.000 Why, one might wonder, would I want to embrace a heritage and identity that is so ruthlessly hunted down again and again?
00:20:41.780 Yet it is precisely during such moments that we must choose to stand.
00:20:49.600 As Casper Ten Boom, Corrie Ten Boom's Dutch Christian father, in a defining act of solidarity,
00:20:57.860 became one of the first to request a yellow star from the Germans,
00:21:02.760 we are reminded that the act of standing with the persecuted is an affirmation of life and a rejection of darkness.
00:21:11.180 Dietrich Bonhoeffer once stated,
00:21:14.900 Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.
00:21:18.820 God will not hold us guiltless.
00:21:21.320 Not to speak is to speak.
00:21:22.840 Not to act is to act.
00:21:25.400 His words resonate deeply with me.
00:21:29.180 In a world that may choose indifference,
00:21:32.860 I choose to stand with the Jews,
00:21:35.900 our brethren who have faced solitude repeatedly.
00:21:39.140 Dietrich Bonhoeffer, I believe,
00:21:44.220 thought he failed in his attempt to waken the German church.
00:21:48.780 But it is because the hearts of his countrymen had already grown cold to the teachings of truth and scripture.
00:21:56.860 American hearts still remain open.
00:21:59.400 The message and the plight of our brothers and sisters can still be heard and seen today.
00:22:07.240 But I fear the hour grows late.
00:22:10.920 The American founders believed ardently in the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
00:22:18.340 It is the essence of our very existence in America to stand for these rights,
00:22:25.740 not just for ourselves, but for every human.
00:22:29.320 I am reminded of the biblical exhortation,
00:22:32.880 Do not stand idly by while your neighbor's blood is shed.
00:22:37.420 Leviticus 1916
00:22:39.160 This sacred text compels us to act,
00:22:43.620 to defend,
00:22:45.140 and to support life.
00:22:48.140 I anticipate no privileges or exemption from the state of Israel.
00:22:51.800 I instead yearn to align myself with those willing to rise,
00:22:57.180 to fight,
00:22:57.980 and sacrifice for the fundamental right to live.
00:23:01.980 Is this not what both Israel and America embody?
00:23:07.280 The sacred promise of life?
00:23:09.860 The freedom to voice our beliefs?
00:23:12.140 The right to defend our homes and families?
00:23:15.980 I wish to be counted among you.
00:23:20.240 In closing, my desire for dual citizenship does not stem from any expectation of gain,
00:23:25.720 but from a deep-rooted belief in standing with what is right and true.
00:23:31.980 Ten years ago, I took my children to Israel for the first time,
00:23:36.320 but we first visited Auschwitz in Poland.
00:23:40.260 I told them,
00:23:41.620 you cannot understand Israel without the Bible or Auschwitz,
00:23:46.460 nor would you be able to choose to stand
00:23:49.120 if you hadn't already made the choice long before the trouble would start.
00:23:55.520 At the time, my family and I met with one of the righteous among the nations.
00:24:00.060 After she told us her heroic story of her and her family saving more than a hundred Jews,
00:24:07.480 just as a sixteen-year-old girl,
00:24:10.740 I asked her how I could water the tree of righteousness for future generations.
00:24:16.800 She looked at me puzzled and told me
00:24:19.620 that you didn't need to water the tree,
00:24:22.520 it was in all of us,
00:24:23.800 and it didn't take courage.
00:24:25.420 The rest of the world would go insane and fall over the cliff,
00:24:32.700 but all that was required was to remember what is right and what is true.
00:24:39.660 Quote,
00:24:40.360 Remember what you were taught and refuse to move.
00:24:44.720 In the end,
00:24:48.480 this is no way a renunciation of my American citizenship,
00:24:52.400 which I hold valuable and dear.
00:24:55.340 It is instead a renewal of my first citizenship in the kingdom of God,
00:25:01.440 as this fight is coming to all of us.
00:25:05.340 May Israel remain an eternal flame of hope,
00:25:09.120 a beacon of resilience,
00:25:10.280 and a testament to the enduring human spirit.
00:25:13.820 In deepest respect and solidarity,
00:25:16.420 Glenn Beck
00:25:16.940 I don't expect to receive citizenship.
00:25:27.080 I have wanted citizenship for some reason.
00:25:31.820 Even Benjamin Netanyahu said to me at one point,
00:25:34.440 why would you want to do that?
00:25:36.160 And I said,
00:25:36.560 because I,
00:25:37.400 in the end,
00:25:37.960 I want to be with people who are awake.
00:25:42.680 But that's not right.
00:25:43.880 I have no desire to go over and fight.
00:25:48.840 And I wouldn't,
00:25:49.940 I wouldn't want my country to fight Israel's fight,
00:25:55.740 but to allow them to fight for their own life.
00:26:01.040 Help them if we can.
00:26:03.400 Stand with them.
00:26:06.840 Recognize a Jew's right to live.
00:26:08.920 If my country decided to side with Hamas,
00:26:17.200 then that is,
00:26:18.840 for me to support that,
00:26:20.380 would be a violation of my first citizenship.
00:26:24.580 Not in this case,
00:26:25.860 the third.
00:26:26.880 You're listening to the best of the Glenn Beck program.
00:26:31.560 Dateline Washington.
00:26:33.180 The Commerce Department is halting exports
00:26:35.600 of most U.S.-made firearms for 90 days.
00:26:38.920 And reviewing its support
00:26:40.160 of the country's biggest gun trade show
00:26:42.520 to ensure such backing
00:26:44.800 does not undermine U.S. policy interests.
00:26:48.480 Steps that could slow
00:26:49.760 two decades of growth
00:26:51.380 of gun sales abroad.
00:26:53.880 We go to Stu,
00:26:55.440 Steve Bregeer,
00:26:56.620 our analyst on guns
00:26:58.140 and regional gun expert,
00:27:00.720 to tell us what he thinks
00:27:02.080 the government is actually doing here.
00:27:05.080 Well, Glenn,
00:27:06.440 guns are evil.
00:27:07.480 And they should be banned.
00:27:09.660 And they not only should
00:27:11.540 be off the streets of America,
00:27:13.280 but be off the streets
00:27:14.760 of the entire world.
00:27:16.540 These sales, of course,
00:27:18.080 also help gun companies
00:27:20.460 and improve their businesses.
00:27:22.540 And since we want them all to go away
00:27:24.620 and the Second Amendment
00:27:25.400 be destroyed completely,
00:27:26.860 we do not support
00:27:28.840 these exports.
00:27:29.960 Today, on The Daily,
00:27:38.500 the government banning gun sales.
00:27:42.080 It could only harm the gun companies.
00:27:47.860 Today, we talk to gun enthusiast
00:27:52.020 Steve Bregeer
00:27:54.140 about what the lack of guns means
00:27:57.440 in his life.
00:28:06.260 Do you ask a question?
00:28:07.820 Do I just start talking?
00:28:08.740 I don't know how this works.
00:28:09.780 No, you just start talking.
00:28:11.740 But you didn't ask a question.
00:28:12.680 But I just said
00:28:14.820 you're a gun nut.
00:28:16.060 Oh, guns help
00:28:18.780 protect people
00:28:20.280 from, you know,
00:28:22.980 lawless mobs
00:28:24.080 that, you know,
00:28:26.500 the left continues to
00:28:27.860 empower.
00:28:29.200 So, you're insinuating
00:28:30.660 that
00:28:31.320 black people on the street
00:28:34.360 or brown people
00:28:35.580 are lawless mobs?
00:28:36.960 I said nothing
00:28:37.580 about anyone's skin color.
00:28:39.280 Why are you?
00:28:40.460 We're the New York Times.
00:28:42.080 I think we understand
00:28:43.540 what you're saying, gun nut.
00:28:46.880 Racist.
00:28:49.340 And that's all the time we have.
00:28:51.140 I didn't even get a chance.
00:28:55.960 I mean, this is so unbelievable.
00:28:58.660 They are not tracking.
00:29:00.900 Here's why they say
00:29:01.960 they're doing this.
00:29:03.120 They say they're doing this
00:29:04.340 because they want to make sure
00:29:05.460 that the guns,
00:29:06.420 that are being sold
00:29:08.100 by manufacturers
00:29:09.860 to gun stores
00:29:11.060 all around the world
00:29:12.320 that those guns
00:29:13.780 don't fall into the wrong hands.
00:29:16.920 But we're sending
00:29:18.660 billions of dollars
00:29:21.480 worth of ammunition
00:29:22.960 and guns
00:29:24.220 to Ukraine
00:29:25.100 without anyone tracking
00:29:27.240 any of it.
00:29:28.560 Notably, the exports ban,
00:29:30.880 export ban,
00:29:31.400 does not apply
00:29:32.160 to Ukraine.
00:29:34.300 You can apparently send
00:29:35.260 as many guns as you want
00:29:36.240 there.
00:29:36.720 Well, they're the government.
00:29:37.980 The government can send it.
00:29:40.100 Just gun manufacturers
00:29:41.840 can't send it.
00:29:42.200 Well, they're not.
00:29:42.920 Government doesn't build
00:29:44.080 the guns.
00:29:45.200 They're sending guns
00:29:46.200 from gun manufacturers.
00:29:46.920 They buy them.
00:29:47.960 They buy them.
00:29:48.660 It's just amazing
00:29:51.780 that the weird...
00:29:54.120 It doesn't make any sense.
00:29:55.340 It used to make sense
00:29:56.180 like the old days
00:29:57.020 where generally
00:29:59.500 conservatives
00:30:00.080 were more
00:30:01.260 in favor
00:30:02.640 of a strong
00:30:04.120 position around the globe
00:30:06.080 when it comes to
00:30:07.020 maybe a hawkish stance
00:30:09.240 on that.
00:30:10.240 And that applies
00:30:10.940 with a...
00:30:11.720 It kind of works
00:30:13.040 well
00:30:13.720 with the position
00:30:15.280 at home
00:30:15.660 that you should also
00:30:16.200 be able to defend yourself.
00:30:17.220 You kind of see that.
00:30:18.660 Now, the left has just decided
00:30:19.740 that they're the pro-war people
00:30:21.180 but they don't want us
00:30:22.560 to be able to protect ourselves
00:30:23.660 against lawless mobs
00:30:25.640 that go through
00:30:27.680 city after city after city.
00:30:29.140 That they encourage.
00:30:30.080 That they encourage
00:30:30.820 and solicit donations for.
00:30:35.160 I just doesn't...
00:30:36.140 I don't know.
00:30:36.540 It doesn't seem to work together
00:30:37.380 all that well.
00:30:37.920 A well-regulated militia
00:30:40.000 being necessary
00:30:41.400 to the security
00:30:42.680 of a free state
00:30:44.520 the right of the people
00:30:46.300 to keep and bear arms
00:30:47.460 shall not be infringed.
00:30:51.140 This weekend
00:30:52.000 we saw more shootings
00:30:53.200 here in the country.
00:30:54.720 Last week
00:30:55.420 we saw
00:30:55.940 you know
00:30:56.840 a mass shooting
00:30:57.700 and we find out now
00:30:59.560 that that mass shooting
00:31:01.200 up in Maine
00:31:01.860 there was
00:31:03.660 plenty of red flags
00:31:05.080 that went up.
00:31:05.840 Couldn't have been more
00:31:06.880 red flags.
00:31:08.220 I mean the guy
00:31:08.500 was literally
00:31:09.060 telling people
00:31:09.980 he wanted to shoot up
00:31:11.020 a military base.
00:31:12.400 Correct.
00:31:13.140 And telling authorities
00:31:14.780 that he was going to do that.
00:31:17.580 So immediately
00:31:18.540 of course
00:31:19.220 the regular arguments
00:31:20.540 in the media
00:31:21.220 and the left
00:31:21.840 do I need to say that?
00:31:23.940 Media and the left?
00:31:25.180 Yeah, it seems repetitive.
00:31:26.180 Yeah.
00:31:26.660 Also immediately
00:31:27.580 the usual counter-arguments
00:31:29.300 were made
00:31:29.760 by the Second Amendment advocates.
00:31:31.300 It's a shooter
00:31:31.840 not the gun.
00:31:32.820 The man was unstable
00:31:33.780 shouldn't have had a gun.
00:31:34.880 You know regulations
00:31:36.160 wouldn't have shot
00:31:36.940 you know wouldn't have stopped him.
00:31:38.660 Bad guys don't observe
00:31:39.600 the regulations.
00:31:40.960 These shootings are stopped
00:31:41.880 by good guys.
00:31:42.540 All of that stuff is true.
00:31:44.920 But none of that
00:31:46.060 is the thing
00:31:46.540 that we should focus on
00:31:47.520 right now.
00:31:49.120 Rather
00:31:49.400 we should realize
00:31:51.820 that we are living
00:31:52.840 in a very
00:31:53.940 special
00:31:54.940 and unique
00:31:55.980 time
00:31:56.720 where all
00:31:58.540 of the original reasons
00:31:59.680 for the Second Amendment
00:32:00.580 are as urgently
00:32:02.140 relevant
00:32:02.820 as they have
00:32:03.840 ever
00:32:04.500 been.
00:32:07.640 We should probably
00:32:08.960 understand those reasons.
00:32:11.100 The Second Amendment
00:32:12.260 is not about
00:32:13.400 sportsmen.
00:32:14.780 Otherwise
00:32:15.080 they might have put
00:32:16.240 bowling
00:32:16.880 in the Constitution.
00:32:20.240 You know
00:32:20.680 the Third Amendment.
00:32:22.280 Hey
00:32:22.480 can't touch
00:32:23.100 bowling either.
00:32:24.560 It was not
00:32:25.620 put there
00:32:26.320 for sports
00:32:28.320 reasons.
00:32:29.100 It exists
00:32:32.160 the most
00:32:33.640 fundamental
00:32:34.600 right
00:32:35.220 under
00:32:35.660 natural law.
00:32:37.780 Natural law
00:32:38.300 means it happens
00:32:39.200 in nature.
00:32:40.280 You walk
00:32:41.040 into a
00:32:42.000 cave
00:32:42.840 with a bear
00:32:43.400 in it
00:32:43.820 and you're just like
00:32:45.060 I want a pet
00:32:45.820 little kitty.
00:32:47.580 Mommy
00:32:48.220 will kill you
00:32:49.460 because it's
00:32:50.440 a natural
00:32:51.220 instinct
00:32:52.040 and natural
00:32:53.040 right.
00:32:54.200 You come
00:32:54.740 into my home
00:32:56.060 and try
00:32:56.940 to do anything
00:32:57.680 with me
00:32:58.240 or my
00:32:58.660 children.
00:32:59.760 I can
00:33:00.240 kill you
00:33:01.060 if I feel
00:33:02.100 we're in
00:33:02.780 danger.
00:33:04.560 The right
00:33:05.520 to self-defense.
00:33:07.360 That would come
00:33:08.340 under the
00:33:08.840 inalienable
00:33:09.780 right to
00:33:10.760 life
00:33:11.220 by the way.
00:33:13.020 So this
00:33:13.900 was written
00:33:14.440 by people
00:33:15.000 who had just
00:33:15.480 defeated
00:33:15.920 the former
00:33:16.580 king.
00:33:17.740 This also
00:33:18.860 means
00:33:19.380 self-defense
00:33:20.340 against an
00:33:21.140 out-of-control
00:33:22.060 government.
00:33:22.560 In an
00:33:24.420 age of
00:33:24.980 weaponized
00:33:25.680 government
00:33:26.140 agencies
00:33:26.880 this is
00:33:27.840 hardly
00:33:28.300 a false
00:33:29.120 concern.
00:33:31.920 Tellingly
00:33:32.520 the argument
00:33:33.860 against this
00:33:34.800 usually
00:33:35.880 is efficacy.
00:33:37.820 Oh you're
00:33:38.360 going to need
00:33:38.780 an F-15
00:33:39.540 not an
00:33:39.980 AR-15.
00:33:41.200 I hate
00:33:41.820 that.
00:33:42.440 I don't
00:33:42.860 know the
00:33:43.180 Taliban did
00:33:43.800 pretty well.
00:33:44.840 Pretty well.
00:33:46.840 The history
00:33:48.040 of asymmetric
00:33:49.080 warfare from
00:33:49.820 the Revolutionary
00:33:50.600 War onwards
00:33:51.660 would beg
00:33:52.300 to differ
00:33:52.860 as would
00:33:54.140 gun
00:33:54.480 confiscation
00:33:55.420 being one
00:33:55.980 of the
00:33:56.260 first acts
00:33:57.180 of every
00:33:58.260 tyrant
00:33:59.340 in history.
00:34:01.600 But more
00:34:02.700 importantly
00:34:03.280 the Second
00:34:04.400 Amendment
00:34:04.680 also means
00:34:05.820 simply
00:34:07.160 self-defense
00:34:08.580 against people
00:34:09.820 with evil
00:34:10.720 intent.
00:34:12.340 That's
00:34:13.180 where we
00:34:14.280 should really
00:34:15.000 focus.
00:34:16.180 The left
00:34:17.000 essentially
00:34:17.600 argues that
00:34:18.460 that kind
00:34:19.280 of self-defense
00:34:19.900 is irrelevant
00:34:20.580 today.
00:34:21.680 That's why
00:34:21.960 we have
00:34:22.280 police forces.
00:34:23.640 Really?
00:34:24.000 The ones
00:34:24.400 that you
00:34:24.700 have gutted?
00:34:25.360 The ones
00:34:25.640 that you
00:34:25.880 said were
00:34:26.340 irrelevant
00:34:26.760 and racist
00:34:27.400 and horrible?
00:34:28.360 The ones
00:34:28.940 we can't
00:34:29.620 get to
00:34:30.180 respond to
00:34:30.920 any problems
00:34:31.780 because there's
00:34:32.740 not enough
00:34:33.380 of them
00:34:34.040 left?
00:34:36.360 Quite aside
00:34:37.240 from truly
00:34:37.900 frightening
00:34:38.380 crime statistics
00:34:39.660 self-defense
00:34:40.580 has never
00:34:41.440 been more
00:34:41.980 relevant than
00:34:43.300 it is
00:34:43.700 today.
00:34:45.300 And I
00:34:46.060 think the
00:34:46.720 you know
00:34:47.160 Hamas
00:34:47.840 pogrom
00:34:49.060 kind of
00:34:50.060 makes that
00:34:50.540 case.
00:34:52.840 Here's a
00:34:53.600 country that
00:34:54.020 does not
00:34:54.660 lack
00:34:54.980 experience
00:34:55.640 with
00:34:55.940 terrorism
00:34:56.500 and war.
00:34:57.480 Tiny,
00:34:58.020 tiny little
00:34:58.680 Israel.
00:34:59.940 Help should
00:35:00.660 arrive fast.
00:35:01.900 But there
00:35:03.140 was shock
00:35:03.620 and surprise
00:35:04.240 on September
00:35:04.860 or October
00:35:06.040 7th.
00:35:07.520 The lesson
00:35:08.560 of how much
00:35:09.300 time an
00:35:09.840 organized
00:35:10.440 response
00:35:11.020 took should
00:35:11.720 resound
00:35:12.340 loudly,
00:35:13.760 not only in
00:35:14.640 Israel but all
00:35:15.320 around the
00:35:15.800 world,
00:35:16.140 including
00:35:16.500 America.
00:35:17.880 Hours
00:35:18.320 passed before
00:35:19.300 help came to
00:35:19.960 many places
00:35:20.500 under attack.
00:35:21.400 Hours!
00:35:23.620 We've just
00:35:24.580 let 10
00:35:25.640 million people
00:35:27.340 into our
00:35:28.160 country that
00:35:28.780 we don't
00:35:29.340 know who
00:35:29.840 they are.
00:35:30.440 we saw
00:35:32.000 what 28
00:35:33.080 individuals
00:35:33.980 could do
00:35:34.580 on September
00:35:35.220 11th.
00:35:36.380 Are you
00:35:36.960 telling me
00:35:37.600 you're
00:35:37.900 comfortable
00:35:38.520 that there
00:35:39.620 aren't enough
00:35:40.300 people to
00:35:40.900 cause real
00:35:42.100 problems in
00:35:43.060 our country
00:35:43.680 in multiple
00:35:45.440 places?
00:35:47.440 It was
00:35:48.320 emergency alert
00:35:49.220 squads,
00:35:50.020 it was
00:35:50.260 civilian gun
00:35:51.020 owners,
00:35:51.900 single cops,
00:35:53.000 soldiers who
00:35:53.660 ran toward
00:35:54.320 the sound
00:35:54.840 of gunfire,
00:35:56.240 undermanned
00:35:57.060 and outgunned.
00:35:58.260 what would
00:36:00.060 the result
00:36:00.660 have been
00:36:01.080 if the
00:36:01.800 population
00:36:02.360 of Israel
00:36:03.000 had been
00:36:03.680 completely
00:36:04.400 disarmed
00:36:05.080 and helpless,
00:36:06.380 fully dependent
00:36:07.160 on their
00:36:07.680 security forces?
00:36:08.960 How many
00:36:09.840 would be
00:36:10.400 dead?
00:36:12.780 Far more
00:36:13.960 than are.
00:36:16.620 This lesson
00:36:17.600 has not been
00:36:18.400 missed in
00:36:18.820 Israel,
00:36:19.300 which is
00:36:19.660 actually very
00:36:20.680 restrictive
00:36:21.200 on firearm
00:36:22.540 regulations.
00:36:23.820 Not everybody
00:36:24.300 can have a
00:36:24.880 gun.
00:36:25.040 Those who
00:36:25.440 can,
00:36:25.860 usually
00:36:26.160 granted
00:36:26.660 one
00:36:27.020 handgun
00:36:27.520 and 50
00:36:28.060 bullets,
00:36:28.560 no more.
00:36:29.280 All fully
00:36:30.260 registered and
00:36:31.120 permitted.
00:36:32.460 I think
00:36:33.300 Israel should
00:36:33.860 adopt a
00:36:34.640 full Second
00:36:35.200 Amendment
00:36:35.500 right.
00:36:37.380 Now the
00:36:38.140 rules are
00:36:38.480 being relaxed,
00:36:39.440 gun owners
00:36:39.880 are asked to
00:36:40.720 carry,
00:36:41.420 the alert
00:36:41.840 squads in
00:36:42.520 rural areas
00:36:43.500 are being
00:36:43.820 supported like
00:36:44.420 never before,
00:36:45.540 squads are
00:36:45.980 made up of
00:36:46.500 former combat
00:36:47.280 soldiers and
00:36:48.000 are kept
00:36:48.780 armed and
00:36:49.460 trained to
00:36:49.880 defend against
00:36:50.500 terrorist
00:36:50.860 incursions.
00:36:52.700 During the
00:36:53.480 Hamas
00:36:53.900 program,
00:36:55.040 they made
00:36:56.280 a huge
00:36:56.840 difference.
00:36:57.680 They couldn't
00:36:58.000 stop at
00:36:58.380 all.
00:36:58.680 They took
00:36:58.940 heavy losses.
00:37:02.120 But where
00:37:02.940 they were
00:37:03.280 kept in a
00:37:04.780 good state
00:37:05.300 of readiness,
00:37:06.240 casualties
00:37:06.640 were considerably
00:37:07.600 lower,
00:37:08.940 higher where
00:37:09.960 not.
00:37:11.960 They blunted
00:37:13.040 the assault.
00:37:15.920 Americans had
00:37:17.180 institutions like
00:37:18.360 this when we
00:37:19.040 first started.
00:37:20.140 It was the
00:37:20.540 Minutemen.
00:37:23.180 Men armed
00:37:24.180 and trained,
00:37:25.040 held ready to
00:37:26.520 defend their
00:37:26.980 community at
00:37:27.720 a minute's
00:37:28.180 notice.
00:37:30.140 We know
00:37:31.020 of their
00:37:31.380 role in
00:37:31.880 the early
00:37:32.260 stages of
00:37:33.120 the War of
00:37:33.880 Independence,
00:37:34.320 but there
00:37:34.740 were similar
00:37:35.220 local groups
00:37:36.060 meant to
00:37:36.540 defend against
00:37:37.160 whatever the
00:37:37.760 danger might
00:37:38.440 have been
00:37:39.000 at the
00:37:39.320 time.
00:37:39.720 Indian,
00:37:41.020 for that
00:37:41.780 matter,
00:37:42.160 French,
00:37:42.640 British,
00:37:43.280 Spanish
00:37:43.660 incursions.
00:37:44.360 We live
00:37:46.840 in a time
00:37:47.400 now where
00:37:47.940 Jews have
00:37:48.620 to cower
00:37:49.380 inside their
00:37:50.180 homes or
00:37:51.120 get locked
00:37:51.780 in libraries
00:37:52.700 for fear of
00:37:53.880 the mob in
00:37:54.800 our own
00:37:55.900 country.
00:37:57.180 We live in a
00:37:58.260 time when
00:37:58.640 hundreds of
00:37:59.320 thousands of
00:37:59.940 people feel
00:38:00.540 free to
00:38:01.120 openly shout
00:38:02.180 their support
00:38:02.920 for evil
00:38:04.220 and genocide
00:38:05.220 and their
00:38:06.280 hatred for the
00:38:07.120 culture that
00:38:07.640 welcomed them
00:38:08.480 into their
00:38:08.960 midst.
00:38:09.340 A time
00:38:11.520 when open
00:38:11.940 borders have
00:38:12.560 meant 10
00:38:14.960 million
00:38:16.440 people and
00:38:19.260 thousands on
00:38:20.540 the terror
00:38:21.100 list that
00:38:22.400 are present
00:38:22.860 right now
00:38:23.640 in our
00:38:24.140 cities,
00:38:24.860 making
00:38:25.180 sleeper
00:38:25.720 cells a
00:38:26.300 virtual
00:38:26.700 certainty.
00:38:28.840 And that's
00:38:29.160 without mentioning
00:38:29.780 the cartels
00:38:30.580 and the gangs
00:38:31.220 and the
00:38:31.540 old-fashioned
00:38:32.140 rogue state
00:38:32.920 actors.
00:38:34.080 Do we
00:38:34.560 really think
00:38:35.380 that things
00:38:35.920 can't happen
00:38:36.660 in rural
00:38:37.420 America with
00:38:38.620 its vast
00:38:39.320 open spaces?
00:38:41.120 How long
00:38:41.940 for real
00:38:42.580 help to
00:38:43.140 arrive then
00:38:43.940 or in a
00:38:44.640 major city
00:38:45.280 or a
00:38:45.880 university
00:38:46.360 campus?
00:38:49.840 We can't
00:38:50.660 all turn
00:38:51.000 into Navy
00:38:51.540 SEALs,
00:38:52.240 but most
00:38:53.040 of us can
00:38:53.480 help and
00:38:54.620 none of us
00:38:55.120 should be
00:38:55.440 helpless.
00:38:56.620 This is not
00:38:57.100 an emotional
00:38:57.960 knee-jerk
00:38:58.680 rah-rah.
00:38:59.300 This is a
00:38:59.780 lesson that
00:39:00.660 reason and
00:39:01.780 morality dictate
00:39:03.100 we must learn
00:39:04.840 from these
00:39:05.340 events.
00:39:05.860 I carry a
00:39:06.480 gun.
00:39:06.860 I train
00:39:07.240 with it.
00:39:08.180 Not because
00:39:08.960 it's fun,
00:39:09.500 but it
00:39:09.720 is.
00:39:11.180 But I'm
00:39:11.580 also all
00:39:12.340 too aware
00:39:12.900 that my
00:39:13.480 life and
00:39:14.060 the life
00:39:14.400 of my
00:39:14.700 family,
00:39:15.280 one day,
00:39:16.360 one night,
00:39:17.400 may depend
00:39:19.460 on my
00:39:19.840 ability to
00:39:20.440 use that
00:39:21.020 gun.
00:39:22.500 I
00:39:22.980 sincerely pray
00:39:24.560 I never
00:39:25.400 have to
00:39:25.760 use that
00:39:26.140 ability.
00:39:26.540 but I
00:39:30.500 also pray
00:39:31.180 that I
00:39:31.520 always have
00:39:31.920 the ability
00:39:32.660 to use
00:39:35.200 my gun.
00:39:36.720 Never
00:39:37.200 again doesn't
00:39:37.880 mean depending
00:39:38.480 on someone
00:39:39.020 else to
00:39:39.500 prevent the
00:39:40.020 next massacre.
00:39:41.980 Never
00:39:42.160 again means
00:39:43.420 you and
00:39:44.920 your ability
00:39:45.500 to defend
00:39:46.400 and stand
00:39:48.260 for those
00:39:49.440 you love.
00:39:50.160 I don't
00:39:53.380 know what
00:39:53.800 the Biden
00:39:54.240 administration
00:39:54.700 is doing
00:39:55.700 this time,
00:39:57.220 but their
00:39:58.520 every step
00:39:59.460 has been
00:40:00.260 to erode
00:40:00.980 your rights
00:40:02.060 one way
00:40:03.100 or another.
00:40:03.980 Na na na na
