00:00:53.100
important and you can do something about it there is a tug of war between good and evil that is has
00:01:03.620
really broken out in england a desperately ill two-year-old girl in england the doctors want to
00:01:12.800
pull the plug on her now here is the difference between this and charlie guard remember charlie
00:01:18.580
guard was the state eventually pulled all life support even though charlie guard had a place to go
00:01:25.840
but charlie guard's parents were english not the case with the two-year-old girl in england
00:01:33.700
this is an american dad who has citizenship in america and in israel and he was uh living
00:01:46.600
in england but he still holds an american passport
00:01:52.620
when his daughter was born two years ago um she was born and she was not uh she was not responding to
00:02:05.220
anything they kept up cpr um and then put her on a what is what did um obama call him uh uh breathalyzer
00:02:15.520
an inhalator an inhalator it's a ventilator so she's been on a ventilator for her entire life and she had
00:02:22.440
lack of oxygen so she's not responding etc etc um she can't maintain a core body temperature
00:02:31.540
she she can't blink she has no conscious uh awareness yada yada yada the dad says there are there are
00:02:42.600
hospitals in america and in israel that want to try new things on his daughter she has a chance
00:02:52.480
according to doctors here in america and in israel and the dad is saying uh you know i know what you're
00:02:59.620
saying but you know no offense england but your hospital care is is not up to the standards of
00:03:06.840
america or israel because you're not on the cutting edge anymore because of your socialist health care
00:03:13.060
and he's not saying this to you know be you know a troublemaker or to make a political point
00:03:21.040
he's just telling the truth and he says there's no reason to kill my daughter
00:03:27.740
he said quote there's lots of places around the world where i can take care of my daughter and
00:03:35.180
we'd be happy to take care of her for long term he said just let me and my daughter go
00:03:44.340
the judge said uh the doctors don't think she has any quality of life well who are you to say that
00:03:55.820
the doctors say the doctors say she has no quality of life so she said it's not the parent it's
00:04:05.140
the patient and she has to look out for the patient and so she wants to stop all life support
00:04:13.520
here's where it gets interested interesting not only is a hospital in here in america willing to take her
00:04:22.160
but also in israel and here's why this is important he has an israeli passport he's an israeli and
00:04:32.200
an american citizen he is hasidic so he has deeply held orthodox views and he says value of life
00:04:46.640
is built into our religious upbringing orthodox judaism encourages the continuation of life until
00:04:56.340
all means have expired and are exhausted so don't tell me about your meaning of life this is my religious
00:05:12.340
now there's been a couple of democrats that have taken this on and have written letters there's a line
00:05:23.360
of republicans that have already taken this on they're waiting for the white house they can't
00:05:29.820
get the white house to react to this and i honestly don't know if joe biden is even aware
00:05:37.800
enough and i honestly don't think that the people in the white house believe in religion
00:05:46.360
i don't know if they believe in the quality of life argument that all life is inherently valuable
00:05:55.360
that we have to do whatever we can do i i don't know what they believe i wish i did
00:06:02.480
i wish i knew who was actually running the white house
00:06:06.820
but this is something that you can call your senator on call the white house on this is an american
00:06:17.120
citizen american citizen and they desperately desperately need your help and this is something that goes
00:06:30.280
to republicans and democrats chuck schumer is actually involved he's trying to get the family reunited here
00:06:38.280
this is something you know there's there's only a few things left that can unite us
00:06:44.100
and i think we're seeing that with crt our children our children can bring us back together
00:06:54.120
because we're all the same you know i hear about these you know i hear about
00:07:02.200
the struggle between the palestinians and israelis well i've been there several times and i've talked
00:07:11.960
to palestinians several times on their grounds and when you meet somebody who is not just screaming for
00:07:22.240
blood which is a lot of people are not screaming for blood they say the same thing it's the politics
00:07:31.160
of the region it's the politics i just want a job i just want to feed my family i just want to get on
00:07:38.420
with my life that that is the same thing i hear from israelis they don't mind oh palestinians are living
00:07:48.840
here that they don't i mean they have they they let palestinians live they take care of palestinians
00:07:54.560
they have full citizenship what is the problem usually it's politics we all have the same thing
00:08:08.500
any more of the value of life if we begin to lose it on the edges
00:08:20.060
this is this is not some other country this is you take your child and you're over in europe
00:08:29.140
and you take your child over there and they put them in a hospital you check them in because they
00:08:37.960
need a hospital and then that hospital says yeah we're not going to let you take them because they
00:08:45.840
have no quality of life excuse me what does your passport even mean what does your passport even mean
00:08:55.460
more importantly what does this is my child even mean it means nothing if they can get away with
00:09:05.520
saying i'm sorry we treat the patient not the parent and the parent says wait a minute how how many steps
00:09:16.740
is it to you going into a hospital and you being told you have no quality of life
00:09:27.100
this is where it started in germany this is exactly how it started this is remember the holocaust
00:09:39.280
this is never again not once they're already there but at the beginning where you can grab the roots
00:09:54.820
