00:00:00.420 Hey, great podcast today. We give you all the latest on what's happening in the house and Israel.
00:00:05.180 You don't want to miss it. Brought to you by Home Tidal Lock.
00:00:07.920 Most people have no idea that there's an invisible gap in their home's protection.
00:00:12.320 Your home, your equity is at risk. This invisible threat is house stealing.
00:00:17.180 According to the FBI, and I quote,
00:00:18.820 Con artists pick a house. It can be a vacation home, rental property, or the home someone is living in.
00:00:24.480 They transfer the deed of the house into their name by obtaining the forms using fake IDs.
00:00:30.000 And then filling out the paperwork with the proper authorities.
00:00:33.620 Now they own the home. Once this step is complete, they take out loans using your home as collateral.
00:00:40.040 They can sell your home from right out from underneath you.
00:00:42.940 This is not something that can happen. This is something that does happen.

00:01:14.800 You're listening to...
00:01:16.340 The Best of the Glenn Beck Program.
00:01:18.640 I want to talk to you about the shoreline.
00:01:25.120 I want to talk to you...
00:01:26.480 We right now are adrift in a sea of lies and confusion and chaos.
00:01:32.400 And when you find yourself in times of confusion,
00:01:36.420 you have to ask yourself,
00:01:39.680 Is this what I want?
00:01:42.380 Are we getting further away from sanity or closer to it?
00:01:46.380 History shows civilizations do not thrive on whims,
00:01:52.540 but we thrive on unwavering principles and truth.
00:01:58.280 Years ago I said,
00:01:59.720 If you don't stand for something,
00:02:01.920 you will fall for anything.
00:02:04.340 In the grand tapestry of our nation,
00:02:10.840 disagreements are the threads that we weave together.
00:02:16.640 Tax rates, parties, policy debates.
00:02:20.720 We can navigate these.
00:02:23.200 But when we start dismantling the bedrock
00:02:26.340 on which our nation was built,
00:02:28.540 when we start tampering with the eternal truths,
00:02:33.400 we risk the entire structure collapsing.
00:02:36.740 And make no mistake,
00:02:38.420 this is not about Hamas.
00:02:40.520 This is not about Israel.
00:02:42.380 This is not about tax policies.
00:02:46.740 It's not about global warming.
00:02:49.240 This is about the entire structure
00:02:52.880 coming down by design.
00:02:55.440 Consider this.
00:03:01.100 No matter how grand or opulent or how great,
00:03:05.320 how wonderful,
00:03:08.680 your house is,
00:03:10.840 if it is not built on a strong foundation,
00:03:14.900 it's not going to last.
00:03:18.180 If that foundation
00:03:19.500 is universal principles
00:03:22.920 like the sanctity of life
00:03:25.160 or the simple truths
00:03:27.360 found in the guidelines
00:03:29.100 like the Ten Commandments,
00:03:31.700 then you have something solid to build on.
00:03:34.020 If not,
00:03:35.380 it's a house of cards
00:03:36.620 and the next breeze
00:03:38.020 will send it tumbling.
00:03:39.800 Our bedrock,
00:03:43.380 our house has been built on bedrock
00:03:45.580 that was so strong,
00:03:47.180 it has taken decades
00:03:50.200 to get us into this weak position.
00:03:54.280 And you know what?
00:03:55.280 America may not survive.
00:03:57.500 But those truths,
00:03:59.240 those principles,
00:04:00.460 will.
00:04:02.340 And maybe it's just going to be
00:04:03.440 just a few of us
00:04:04.220 living by those principles
00:04:06.520 that refuse to give in.
00:04:08.220 We are now lost
00:04:13.640 in so many different things.
00:04:16.700 The debates on the House Speaker,
00:04:19.540 what the hell is happening there?
00:04:22.120 Do you realize Rome is burning?
00:04:25.620 We're lost in the debates now
00:04:28.120 on who's going to be the Speaker.
00:04:31.580 And we're now arguing
00:04:33.620 about which one of these two guys
00:04:37.560 that would both be okay.
00:04:41.160 Which one
00:04:42.100 is going to be our savior?
00:04:43.840 None of them is going to be our savior.
00:04:45.700 None of them.
00:04:46.400 You know why?
00:04:48.000 Because we,
00:04:49.240 the people,
00:04:50.080 are not serious about things.
00:04:52.520 We're not serious about it.
00:04:54.480 We have $33 trillion
00:04:56.740 in debt.
00:04:59.100 And if we were serious about it,
00:05:01.780 then our elected officials
00:05:03.620 would be more serious about it.
00:05:05.480 But we just think
00:05:09.720 we can have it all.
00:05:11.440 We're drowning in this debt.
00:05:14.500 And Republicans,
00:05:15.720 Democrats,
00:05:16.540 I mean,
00:05:16.800 Democrats are actually
00:05:18.040 lighting the fires.
00:05:20.180 Republicans are just,
00:05:21.320 you know,
00:05:22.700 playing the fiddle
00:05:23.980 while Rome burns.
00:05:26.120 And what happens?
00:05:28.320 As we waste this time,
00:05:31.020 what happens?
00:05:33.600 You're building the story
00:05:35.160 that Republicans
00:05:36.420 don't know how to rule.
00:05:38.160 Republicans can't.
00:05:39.800 Republicans can't take
00:05:40.900 anything seriously.
00:05:42.100 They'll never get anything done.
00:05:44.260 Why will they say that?
00:05:45.480 Because in a very few short weeks,
00:05:47.540 we're going to come up
00:05:48.460 with another budget impasse.
00:05:51.080 And while we're fiddling around
00:05:52.740 trying to figure out
00:05:53.920 who's going to be the leader,
00:05:56.000 what's happening?
00:05:58.400 Nothing.
00:05:58.920 So we'll have a new CR,
00:06:01.020 a blank check
00:06:01.880 to the big and deep state.
00:06:05.500 Our country is drowning in debt.
00:06:07.860 Our citizens are about
00:06:08.960 to experience
00:06:09.880 a greater depression,
00:06:11.320 which most people
00:06:12.320 don't know what it even means
00:06:13.680 because it's never been
00:06:14.780 explained to them.
00:06:17.480 There are no budget cuts
00:06:19.020 that can be considered.
00:06:20.220 It's all just,
00:06:21.480 we have to spend all of it.
00:06:24.560 Instead of seeking the shore,
00:06:26.780 we're told we can fund two wars.
00:06:30.020 We can do that.
00:06:30.580 That's what the Treasury Department
00:06:31.560 said yesterday.
00:06:32.280 We, of course we can.
00:06:34.140 Really?
00:06:35.800 Meanwhile, there's no budget cuts
00:06:37.440 because we got the two wars,
00:06:38.740 but we also have to continue
00:06:40.240 the study,
00:06:40.920 and I'm not making this up, 0.99
00:06:42.340 of the lesbian vagina 1.00
00:06:44.220 in the Congo. 1.00
00:06:47.040 Yeah, there's no budget cuts.
00:06:50.800 Dwight D. Eisenhower
00:06:51.840 told us about this.
00:06:52.960 Now, he was a military man,
00:06:54.560 a military man,
00:06:55.660 and in his farewell address,
00:06:57.240 everybody remembers him
00:06:58.480 warning of the undue influence
00:07:01.700 of the military industrial complex,
00:07:04.140 but that's not just what he said.
00:07:06.920 He said the military,
00:07:08.680 scientific,
00:07:09.480 and educational industrial complex.
00:07:12.420 He cautioned us
00:07:13.580 about the potential rise
00:07:15.080 of a disastrous rise
00:07:16.740 of misplaced power
00:07:18.620 that the military,
00:07:21.400 the science,
00:07:22.360 and the educational systems
00:07:24.660 would all be gathered
00:07:26.480 around money,
00:07:28.760 and they would serve
00:07:30.380 the master of money
00:07:31.900 through the government,
00:07:33.460 and we're seeing it.
00:07:36.160 We're also seeing 0.99
00:07:37.420 this ugly head rise up 0.99
00:07:40.340 in what used to be called 0.99
00:07:41.260 the free marketplace.
00:07:43.060 I want you to listen to something,
00:07:44.580 a show I did in 2011
00:07:47.140 while I was still at Fox.
00:07:49.340 Listen to this.
00:07:49.960 There are three groups of people,
00:07:52.260 three groups of people,
00:07:53.980 that want a new world order.
00:07:56.520 One, this is your choice.
00:07:58.620 One, one world government.
00:08:00.380 This is open society,
00:08:01.860 this is the United Nations,
00:08:03.420 whatever you want to call it,
00:08:04.440 one world government.
00:08:05.520 They have lots of money,
00:08:07.240 lots of power,
00:08:08.280 and they have NGOs,
00:08:11.480 non-governmental organizations.
00:08:13.500 They're getting that one done.
00:08:14.440 They're organized.
00:08:15.720 This one,
00:08:16.480 this is the caliphate 0.95
00:08:17.860 if you're in Iran or Turkey.
00:08:20.440 This one is the
00:08:21.160 United Islamic Nations.
00:08:22.800 This is the one
00:08:23.280 the Muslim Brotherhood
00:08:24.120 is going for now.
00:08:25.460 But it'll all look like this.
00:08:26.660 It's a new world order.
00:08:28.240 You know,
00:08:28.460 and they have,
00:08:29.040 they're organized too.
00:08:29.760 They have the religion 0.63
00:08:30.780 and the mosques,
00:08:32.120 and apparently help
00:08:33.020 from Google as well,
00:08:34.900 at least in Europe,
00:08:36.540 or I mean,
00:08:36.860 I'm sorry,
00:08:37.240 in Egypt.
00:08:37.980 And then you have this one,
00:08:39.300 workers' union,
00:08:40.360 or they call it
00:08:41.200 state capitalism.
00:08:43.160 Really what it is
00:08:44.040 is just good old-fashioned
00:08:45.280 communism.
00:08:46.580 They have the unions
00:08:47.760 and community organizing,
00:08:49.380 but they're organized.
00:08:50.500 They're moving forward.
00:08:52.120 As George Soros told me,
00:08:54.420 there is already,
00:08:55.920 the ship has sailed
00:08:57.200 and it is moving on.
00:08:58.340 Really, has it?
00:09:00.240 Well,
00:09:00.680 these three are sailing.
00:09:02.780 They are sailing.
00:09:04.320 What I told you at the time
00:09:06.160 is happening right now.
00:09:08.700 You've got the Islamists, 1.00
00:09:11.360 you have the communists
00:09:12.480 and the socialists,
00:09:13.860 and you have
00:09:16.460 the one world order people
00:09:19.260 all coming together,
00:09:21.120 working together.
00:09:22.660 Did you see that in Los Angeles,
00:09:25.500 the Palestinian signs
00:09:26.980 were not just
00:09:28.340 in support of Hamas,
00:09:30.420 but also for DEI?
00:09:33.340 What?
00:09:34.340 What?
00:09:34.560 What?
00:09:34.840 How's that happening?
00:09:37.800 They're all working together.
00:09:41.020 Now,
00:09:41.220 what is in our national interest,
00:09:42.860 America?
00:09:48.820 A war?
00:09:50.560 No.
00:09:54.480 A return to truth,
00:09:56.760 and that doesn't cost
00:09:58.320 a dime.
00:09:59.780 It's a treacherous path
00:10:03.700 when government
00:10:04.300 forgets its proper role,
00:10:06.140 and we allow
00:10:07.880 the weeds of chaos
00:10:09.580 to strangle the roots
00:10:12.160 of our foundational principles.
00:10:15.460 Water will wet.
00:10:17.440 Fire will burn.
00:10:19.500 That is always true.
00:10:21.640 These are unwavering,
00:10:23.240 undeniable truths,
00:10:24.880 and just like these truths,
00:10:26.320 they are principles
00:10:28.240 that the nation
00:10:29.440 was built on.
00:10:32.060 Being the United States,
00:10:34.220 United States,
00:10:35.480 is not just a title.
00:10:36.780 It's a declaration.
00:10:38.180 It's a promise.
00:10:39.160 It's a commitment
00:10:39.940 to come together
00:10:41.480 despite our differences.
00:10:43.720 But that is not
00:10:45.340 possible
00:10:46.540 if you don't
00:10:48.300 have principles.
00:10:52.120 If you don't
00:10:53.300 have principles,
00:10:54.680 what are you coming around?
00:10:56.000 What is bringing you together?
00:10:59.240 It's really not hard,
00:11:01.480 but it requires you
00:11:03.060 to sift through the noise,
00:11:04.860 through the chaos.
00:11:05.900 It demands that we reject
00:11:07.760 the falsehoods,
00:11:09.220 the deception,
00:11:10.340 and the lies.
00:11:12.100 To unite,
00:11:13.920 we have to remember
00:11:15.260 the things
00:11:16.060 that our grandparents
00:11:17.260 and our great-grandparents,
00:11:18.880 all the way down
00:11:19.520 to our pilgrims,
00:11:20.400 held dear.
00:11:21.220 because if we want
00:11:23.580 to be the beacon
00:11:24.480 of hope,
00:11:25.660 the symbol
00:11:26.180 of freedom,
00:11:27.480 hell,
00:11:28.300 if we just want
00:11:29.580 our children
00:11:30.100 not to be slaves,
00:11:32.080 then we have to
00:11:33.060 anchor ourselves
00:11:34.040 to universal principles.
00:11:38.800 I'm sorry,
00:11:39.740 I know it's very
00:11:40.440 fashionable to say
00:11:41.840 all kinds of lies
00:11:43.780 today.
00:11:44.760 I know it's very
00:11:45.840 fashionable to be
00:11:46.880 open-minded
00:11:47.620 and say,
00:11:48.240 well,
00:11:48.520 I don't know,
00:11:49.260 Hamas,
00:11:49.840 what don't you know
00:11:51.980 about Hamas?
00:11:52.960 What don't you know
00:11:54.440 about Hamas?
00:11:55.360 And what don't you know
00:11:56.660 about Israel?
00:11:58.260 Israel is exactly 1.00
00:11:59.700 like us.
00:12:00.900 They're good sometimes,
00:12:02.200 bad sometimes.
00:12:04.060 Hamas,
00:12:05.100 bad. 0.97
00:12:06.180 Always.
00:12:07.700 Always.
00:12:08.920 They are a culture 0.94
00:12:09.940 of death,
00:12:11.140 and we have embraced
00:12:12.980 a culture of death.
00:12:17.680 We've got to find
00:12:18.520 our way back
00:12:18.980 to the truth.
00:12:20.840 We have to hold
00:12:21.800 fast to the principles
00:12:22.940 that have stood
00:12:23.700 the test of time,
00:12:24.780 our Declaration
00:12:25.300 of Independence,
00:12:26.200 our Constitution,
00:12:27.240 and our Bill of Rights.
00:12:28.920 If we don't,
00:12:30.120 we are going to be
00:12:31.220 swept up in the
00:12:32.240 winds of change.
00:12:37.700 As you look
00:12:38.620 at the news today,
00:12:40.480 remember,
00:12:41.960 principles
00:12:42.440 and truths
00:12:43.560 are not
00:12:44.740 just words.
00:12:46.480 they are the bedrock
00:12:48.880 of our civilization.
00:12:50.100 And as we ponder
00:12:52.240 our path forward,
00:12:53.640 let's make sure
00:12:56.260 we're looking
00:12:57.560 past the fancy,
00:12:59.980 old-timey,
00:13:01.780 dusty words
00:13:03.020 and look at those words
00:13:06.260 and find the
00:13:07.440 underlying,
00:13:09.800 meaningful,
00:13:10.440 and everlasting
00:13:13.860 truths.
00:13:17.500 That is what
00:13:18.740 will make us
00:13:19.440 united
00:13:20.220 and unshakable.
00:13:22.720 you're listening
00:13:23.880 to the best
00:13:24.680 of the Glenn Beck
00:13:25.400 program.
00:13:25.860 As we approach
00:13:29.000 the renewing
00:13:31.620 of the American
00:13:32.900 Covenant,
00:13:33.760 which was done
00:13:34.520 by George Washington,
00:13:35.700 our pilgrims,
00:13:36.760 and Abraham Lincoln,
00:13:38.720 that is happening
00:13:39.960 on this program
00:13:41.060 the week
00:13:41.700 before Thanksgiving.
00:13:43.460 I invite you to join.
00:13:44.460 You can find out
00:13:44.920 all the information
00:13:45.660 at glennbeck.com.
00:13:47.460 Just look for
00:13:48.240 the 40 Days and Nights
00:13:49.720 program
00:13:50.640 right on the front page.
00:13:52.520 Skip Moen
00:13:53.000 is with us.
00:13:54.220 He was on with us
00:13:56.000 a couple of weeks ago.
00:13:57.000 He was fascinating
00:13:58.060 talking about how
00:14:00.000 the Beatitudes
00:14:01.280 have been mistranslated
00:14:02.440 and it's so much
00:14:04.480 more beautiful
00:14:05.240 and deep
00:14:05.960 the way
00:14:06.520 he has explained it.
00:14:08.660 But we wanted
00:14:09.240 to get him on
00:14:10.020 to talk a little bit
00:14:11.360 about good and evil
00:14:12.460 and what is
00:14:14.580 the solution here.
00:14:16.520 He's written
00:14:17.020 a great article.
00:14:18.740 You can find it
00:14:19.400 at skipmoen.com
00:14:20.840 about
00:14:22.720 what the
00:14:24.240 biblical solution is 0.81
00:14:25.280 but he says
00:14:25.940 nobody's ever
00:14:26.780 going to want to do it
00:14:27.700 but I don't know.
00:14:29.540 I think we've tried
00:14:30.220 everything else.
00:14:30.900 Maybe we should go
00:14:31.460 with God's plan.
00:14:32.800 Skip, welcome.
00:14:34.820 Thank you, Glenn.
00:14:35.820 And yeah,
00:14:36.160 it's a good idea.
00:14:36.900 Let's go with God's plan.
00:14:38.100 Yeah.
00:14:38.760 So
00:14:39.200 the solution
00:14:41.680 to the
00:14:42.660 inhumanity
00:14:43.580 of
00:14:44.120 humans
00:14:47.060 or Hamas
00:14:47.780 in this case.
00:14:48.520 Yeah.
00:14:51.240 You know,
00:14:51.800 I'd like to
00:14:52.460 make a little
00:14:53.680 caveat first.
00:14:54.680 I have
00:14:55.560 never been to Gaza.
00:14:57.100 I've been to Israel
00:14:58.160 many times.
00:14:59.080 I have friends
00:14:59.600 who live there.
00:15:00.300 I know a lot of rabbis
00:15:01.360 there.
00:15:01.600 I've been to the West Bank
00:15:03.020 and so my perspective
00:15:04.900 will be,
00:15:06.620 you know,
00:15:07.240 on the side
00:15:08.040 of Israel's
00:15:09.560 struggle
00:15:10.020 against this evil
00:15:11.820 in order for them
00:15:12.800 to have peace.
00:15:14.260 I recognize
00:15:15.240 that there are
00:15:15.900 huge humanitarian
00:15:17.000 issues,
00:15:17.940 but I think
00:15:19.460 that we have
00:15:20.220 to back up
00:15:21.140 a little bit
00:15:21.700 and remember
00:15:22.620 that this
00:15:23.280 conflict
00:15:24.280 really isn't
00:15:25.800 a conflict
00:15:26.340 about the
00:15:27.220 issues of
00:15:28.620 Gaza
00:15:29.360 and its
00:15:29.920 political
00:15:30.560 and social
00:15:31.200 environment.
00:15:31.880 It's a conflict
00:15:32.840 between
00:15:33.460 those who wish
00:15:35.160 to exterminate 1.00
00:15:37.040 the Jew 1.00
00:15:37.660 at any cost, 0.99
00:15:39.380 the real enemy,
00:15:40.380 the evil part
00:15:41.280 of that,
00:15:41.860 and the rest
00:15:43.040 of the world.
00:15:43.700 It's not just
00:15:44.720 about Israel.
00:15:45.880 It's about
00:15:46.280 do we allow
00:15:47.600 humans
00:15:49.020 who are
00:15:50.200 absolutely
00:15:50.960 intent
00:15:51.640 on the
00:15:52.240 obliteration
00:15:54.200 of an entire
00:15:55.900 ethnic group
00:15:57.220 or race
00:15:57.960 or whatever
00:15:58.440 it happens to be,
00:15:59.300 do we allow
00:15:59.900 them to continue
00:16:01.580 or do we stand
00:16:02.760 up and do
00:16:03.280 something about it?
00:16:04.220 Well,
00:16:04.340 why is it
00:16:04.920 that we always
00:16:05.600 seem to get
00:16:06.280 to this place
00:16:07.180 and then
00:16:07.860 we turn a blind eye?
00:16:09.460 For instance,
00:16:10.580 this is what
00:16:10.880 happened in
00:16:11.500 Germany.
00:16:12.540 Hitler was 0.98
00:16:14.580 very clear
00:16:15.080 on what
00:16:15.360 he was
00:16:15.600 going to
00:16:15.820 do,
00:16:16.280 but then
00:16:17.060 he hid
00:16:17.500 it.
00:16:18.100 These people
00:16:18.640 aren't
00:16:18.980 hiding it.
00:16:20.840 It is in
00:16:21.780 their mission
00:16:22.800 statements,
00:16:23.520 their charter,
00:16:24.400 they say it
00:16:25.100 all the time.
00:16:26.040 People who
00:16:26.540 are protesting
00:16:27.120 for them
00:16:27.960 on the streets
00:16:28.740 all over the
00:16:29.340 world are
00:16:29.820 saying,
00:16:30.420 you know,
00:16:30.940 death to 1.00
00:16:31.360 the Jews, 1.00
00:16:32.220 death to 1.00
00:16:32.640 Israel, 0.99
00:16:33.440 gas the 0.99
00:16:33.920 Jews, 0.77
00:16:34.980 and yet
00:16:35.520 we always
00:16:36.700 seem to
00:16:37.800 say,
00:16:38.540 well,
00:16:38.740 no,
00:16:39.720 they don't
00:16:40.140 really mean
00:16:40.720 that.
00:16:42.660 You know,
00:16:43.480 I think
00:16:43.840 that is
00:16:45.000 definitely
00:16:45.360 part of
00:16:45.740 the problem,
00:16:46.240 but that
00:16:46.620 comes about
00:16:47.860 because I
00:16:48.320 think in
00:16:48.820 the modern
00:16:51.180 Western world
00:16:52.120 we have
00:16:53.260 succumbed
00:16:54.040 to the
00:16:55.840 Enlightenment
00:16:57.320 delusion
00:16:58.180 of the
00:16:59.120 goodness
00:16:59.400 of all
00:16:59.920 men,
00:17:00.760 and we
00:17:01.280 have been
00:17:01.780 lulled to
00:17:02.440 sleep by
00:17:03.280 a church
00:17:03.940 that has
00:17:04.420 preached
00:17:04.820 God as
00:17:05.400 love
00:17:05.920 without
00:17:07.020 talking about
00:17:08.000 the other
00:17:08.360 side of the
00:17:08.780 coin.
00:17:09.340 I mean,
00:17:09.580 the biblical
00:17:10.720 model is
00:17:11.320 pretty clear.
00:17:12.200 God is
00:17:13.040 love,
00:17:13.600 and he
00:17:14.220 expects
00:17:15.060 people to
00:17:16.280 respond to
00:17:18.420 that love
00:17:19.100 with a
00:17:19.620 kind of
00:17:20.340 character
00:17:21.180 and society
00:17:22.260 that reflects
00:17:23.980 his character
00:17:24.940 in society.
00:17:25.740 But the
00:17:26.740 point is
00:17:27.340 that there
00:17:28.500 is another
00:17:28.900 side of the
00:17:29.460 coin,
00:17:29.900 and the
00:17:31.000 principal
00:17:31.880 examples of
00:17:32.900 that in
00:17:33.220 the biblical
00:17:33.620 world are
00:17:34.620 the flood,
00:17:35.500 Sodom and
00:17:35.980 Gomorrah,
00:17:36.920 what happens
00:17:37.360 to Elimelech,
00:17:38.300 there are
00:17:40.220 plenty of
00:17:41.200 examples of
00:17:43.600 harsh judgment
00:17:45.040 when it's
00:17:47.520 determined that
00:17:48.420 the population
00:17:49.940 is beyond
00:17:50.760 redemptive
00:17:51.540 qualities,
00:17:52.440 that it no
00:17:52.860 longer exhibits
00:17:53.740 those kinds
00:17:54.860 of behaviors
00:17:56.520 that qualify
00:17:57.540 them as part
00:17:59.020 of human
00:17:59.400 society.
00:18:00.480 And I think
00:18:00.980 when we see
00:18:01.440 that happen,
00:18:02.660 you know,
00:18:02.980 we are,
00:18:04.120 I mean,
00:18:04.940 clearly God
00:18:05.620 takes care of
00:18:06.500 some of
00:18:06.740 that stuff
00:18:07.200 in the
00:18:07.480 Bible,
00:18:07.780 and I
00:18:08.520 think we
00:18:09.040 as men
00:18:10.580 who want
00:18:11.080 to,
00:18:11.440 men and
00:18:11.840 women who 0.99
00:18:12.160 want to
00:18:12.400 reflect his
00:18:12.920 character,
00:18:13.300 we have to
00:18:13.640 do the
00:18:13.900 same.
00:18:14.180 We have
00:18:14.440 to remember
00:18:14.940 that this
00:18:16.160 isn't just,
00:18:16.960 you know,
00:18:18.240 an issue
00:18:18.640 over some
00:18:19.280 humanitarian
00:18:19.840 crisis,
00:18:20.400 this is an
00:18:21.100 issue about
00:18:21.700 whether or
00:18:22.160 not,
00:18:23.020 you know,
00:18:23.260 we have the
00:18:24.240 fortitude to
00:18:25.660 stand up for
00:18:26.280 what's right.
00:18:28.220 Or if we
00:18:29.060 even know
00:18:29.480 what's right
00:18:29.880 anymore.
00:18:30.340 the judgment
00:18:32.480 comes harsher
00:18:34.040 on those
00:18:34.900 who claim,
00:18:36.040 I think,
00:18:36.640 to be on
00:18:38.020 the side of
00:18:38.840 the God of
00:18:39.640 Abraham,
00:18:40.060 Isaac,
00:18:40.280 and Jacob
00:18:40.820 when they
00:18:41.580 fail than
00:18:43.880 it does
00:18:44.400 even sometimes
00:18:45.260 on the
00:18:45.620 enemies.
00:18:46.440 They seem
00:18:47.340 to continue
00:18:48.260 to go on,
00:18:49.180 but the
00:18:51.400 nations,
00:18:52.580 and I'm
00:18:52.800 speaking here
00:18:53.400 of ours and
00:18:54.200 Israel,
00:18:55.020 the nations
00:18:55.680 that make
00:18:57.200 a covenant
00:18:57.620 with God
00:18:58.220 and claim
00:18:59.160 to be on
00:18:59.900 God's side,
00:19:01.180 when they
00:19:02.120 stop,
00:19:03.340 they're allowed
00:19:04.060 to feel the
00:19:04.720 full repercussions
00:19:06.280 of what
00:19:07.680 they've sown.
00:19:09.540 Yeah,
00:19:10.260 you know,
00:19:10.940 I think,
00:19:11.460 again,
00:19:11.800 it's a
00:19:12.400 problem with
00:19:14.780 our current
00:19:16.520 theology that
00:19:17.580 teaches us
00:19:18.200 that God is
00:19:18.760 loving,
00:19:19.220 he loves
00:19:19.460 everyone,
00:19:19.980 and we
00:19:20.200 should love
00:19:20.600 everyone,
00:19:21.200 and we've
00:19:21.620 forgotten
00:19:22.040 the element
00:19:23.580 of wrath
00:19:24.440 that comes
00:19:25.160 along behind
00:19:25.920 that,
00:19:26.240 that says,
00:19:27.040 you know,
00:19:27.980 there is
00:19:28.340 responsibility
00:19:29.060 toward peace
00:19:32.060 and loving
00:19:33.980 kindness
00:19:34.460 toward others,
00:19:35.060 and when
00:19:35.440 you fail
00:19:36.060 in that,
00:19:37.060 there's a
00:19:37.600 judgment
00:19:37.900 that comes.
00:19:38.960 You know,
00:19:39.480 it reminds
00:19:40.700 me,
00:19:41.000 Glenn,
00:19:41.240 of the
00:19:42.100 terrible
00:19:42.720 decision
00:19:43.920 that Truman
00:19:44.480 had to
00:19:44.920 make in
00:19:45.840 dropping the
00:19:46.380 atomic bomb 0.99
00:19:46.920 on Japan.
00:19:47.720 I mean,
00:19:48.700 certainly there
00:19:49.940 were humanitarian
00:19:50.740 issues involved,
00:19:53.100 but it was
00:19:53.620 also,
00:19:54.580 in a split
00:19:55.540 second,
00:19:56.380 the end
00:19:56.920 of the
00:19:57.200 war.
00:19:57.940 I mean,
00:19:58.280 it just
00:19:59.020 finished
00:19:59.800 everything
00:20:00.740 that needed
00:20:02.640 to be
00:20:03.220 stopped in
00:20:04.100 order for
00:20:04.460 the war
00:20:04.900 to not
00:20:05.660 continue on
00:20:06.800 and on
00:20:07.140 and on
00:20:07.580 in a slow
00:20:09.160 way,
00:20:09.600 and I
00:20:09.920 think that
00:20:10.580 Israel faces 0.98
00:20:12.220 the same
00:20:12.720 thing.
00:20:13.040 You cannot
00:20:13.520 allow an
00:20:15.320 organization,
00:20:16.580 as you said,
00:20:17.380 whose very
00:20:17.840 constitution
00:20:18.680 calls for
00:20:19.860 the obliteration
00:20:20.840 of every
00:20:21.260 one of
00:20:21.680 your citizens,
00:20:23.300 that isn't
00:20:24.080 society.
00:20:25.020 That's a
00:20:25.820 culture of
00:20:27.520 death.
00:20:28.320 And that's
00:20:28.560 also why
00:20:32.660 the rest
00:20:33.300 of the
00:20:34.320 Arab world
00:20:35.000 will not
00:20:35.780 take them
00:20:36.220 in,
00:20:37.240 because
00:20:37.700 every time
00:20:39.340 they come
00:20:39.820 in,
00:20:40.200 there's a
00:20:40.620 civil war
00:20:41.220 in their
00:20:41.620 nation,
00:20:42.680 and it's
00:20:44.420 a seed
00:20:45.460 of chaos.
00:20:46.180 So what
00:20:46.860 are you
00:20:47.140 saying,
00:20:47.900 that Israel
00:20:50.620 just goes
00:20:51.640 until there's
00:20:52.700 nothing left?
00:20:54.080 you know,
00:20:56.360 I don't
00:20:56.760 want people
00:20:57.840 to be
00:20:58.360 confused
00:20:58.960 about the
00:20:59.740 Palestinian
00:21:01.940 people who
00:21:03.720 are not
00:21:04.440 subject or
00:21:05.800 part of
00:21:06.580 the Hamas
00:21:07.200 movement,
00:21:07.680 because certainly
00:21:08.280 there are
00:21:08.760 some.
00:21:09.520 The problem
00:21:10.060 is sorting
00:21:10.720 it out.
00:21:11.720 The problem
00:21:12.180 is that
00:21:12.680 Hamas 0.96
00:21:13.380 controls that
00:21:14.820 environment in
00:21:15.800 such a way
00:21:16.320 that they
00:21:17.860 use those
00:21:18.960 people to
00:21:20.520 accomplish their
00:21:21.460 own purposes
00:21:22.240 as well.
00:21:22.780 you can't,
00:21:24.660 you know,
00:21:25.180 it's not
00:21:25.920 possible to
00:21:28.000 eradicate
00:21:29.160 Hamas without 0.99
00:21:30.560 collateral
00:21:31.160 damage.
00:21:31.880 It just
00:21:32.280 isn't possible
00:21:33.120 because of the
00:21:33.760 way that they
00:21:34.300 operate,
00:21:35.180 right?
00:21:35.880 But the
00:21:37.220 point is,
00:21:37.800 you have to 0.99
00:21:38.460 eradicate them. 0.98
00:21:39.460 If you
00:21:39.800 don't,
00:21:40.760 you will,
00:21:41.840 you know,
00:21:42.380 you remember
00:21:42.880 when Joshua
00:21:44.720 mistakenly makes
00:21:45.960 a treaty with
00:21:47.100 a group of
00:21:47.580 people,
00:21:48.340 God has said
00:21:48.940 to him,
00:21:49.440 listen,
00:21:49.640 I want
00:21:50.080 the land
00:21:50.520 cleaned of
00:21:51.100 all these
00:21:51.440 people so
00:21:52.000 that when
00:21:52.340 even the
00:21:52.800 animals
00:21:53.180 occupy it,
00:21:53.960 there's no
00:21:54.380 corruption.
00:21:55.560 And he
00:21:55.860 mistakenly makes
00:21:57.080 a treaty with
00:21:57.820 people who
00:21:58.320 misrepresent who
00:21:59.540 they are,
00:22:00.120 and he makes
00:22:00.660 a covenant
00:22:01.100 with them,
00:22:01.840 and then he
00:22:02.360 keeps that
00:22:02.800 promise.
00:22:03.180 And of
00:22:03.400 course,
00:22:03.920 what happens
00:22:04.800 is,
00:22:05.480 over the
00:22:05.860 next
00:22:06.140 generations,
00:22:07.600 that mistake
00:22:08.700 grows and
00:22:09.820 fosters an
00:22:10.800 entire resident
00:22:13.400 population within
00:22:14.800 the land that
00:22:16.240 causes nothing
00:22:17.220 but chaos and
00:22:18.100 destruction from
00:22:18.820 that point on.
00:22:19.640 And I think
00:22:20.400 that's what
00:22:21.120 Israel faces 0.98
00:22:21.880 here.
00:22:22.800 If they don't 0.99
00:22:24.040 exterminate this
00:22:25.160 issue,
00:22:25.960 it will continue.
00:22:27.240 It will just
00:22:27.780 spring up
00:22:29.220 someplace else.
00:22:29.980 And your
00:22:30.160 point...
00:22:30.700 Okay,
00:22:30.980 hang on just a
00:22:31.540 second,
00:22:31.780 because you
00:22:32.040 used the word
00:22:32.580 exterminate.
00:22:33.500 I want to
00:22:33.840 make sure 0.99
00:22:34.360 exterminate Hamas, 0.95
00:22:36.720 not exterminate 1.00
00:22:37.860 all Palestinians. 0.99
00:22:40.140 Yeah,
00:22:40.840 that's right.
00:22:41.540 You're after Hamas. 0.84
00:22:42.560 This is an issue
00:22:43.280 about evil.
00:22:44.600 It's not an
00:22:45.240 issue about
00:22:45.960 people,
00:22:46.840 right?
00:22:47.220 It's an issue
00:22:47.960 about how do
00:22:48.660 you
00:22:49.020 combat true
00:22:50.780 evil in the
00:22:51.540 world.
00:22:51.840 And your
00:22:52.140 point about
00:22:53.100 the Arab
00:22:53.800 nations not
00:22:54.520 wanting them
00:22:55.180 is a really
00:22:55.700 clear indication
00:22:56.880 that there's a
00:22:57.500 real problem
00:22:58.100 here.
00:22:58.540 Right.
00:22:59.080 Not just
00:22:59.560 Israel's 0.75
00:23:00.120 problem.
00:23:00.640 Is this any
00:23:01.040 different than
00:23:01.680 what we had
00:23:02.440 in World War
00:23:03.460 II?
00:23:04.060 I mean,
00:23:04.420 with the
00:23:04.740 Nazis?
00:23:05.080 We didn't
00:23:05.580 want to kill
00:23:06.000 all of the 1.00
00:23:06.520 Germans,
00:23:06.840 but we'll 1.00
00:23:07.920 kill enough 1.00
00:23:08.640 of the 1.00
00:23:08.900 Germans until
00:23:09.460 they start
00:23:10.120 saying,
00:23:10.740 no,
00:23:11.260 we're not
00:23:12.020 part of
00:23:12.400 this.
00:23:12.680 We want
00:23:13.000 nothing to
00:23:13.600 do with
00:23:14.180 the Nazis.
00:23:14.840 Yeah,
00:23:16.900 I think
00:23:17.360 it's very
00:23:17.940 similar,
00:23:18.700 but there's
00:23:19.520 one important
00:23:20.460 exception,
00:23:21.240 and that is
00:23:21.840 that Germany,
00:23:24.720 the war that
00:23:26.620 Germany started,
00:23:28.320 that Hitler 0.98
00:23:29.120 started,
00:23:29.640 was not based
00:23:31.240 in a religious
00:23:31.940 ideal.
00:23:32.580 and Hamas
00:23:34.240 is basically
00:23:35.120 their thinking
00:23:39.380 is basically
00:23:41.340 a religious
00:23:43.540 idea that
00:23:45.020 allows no
00:23:46.020 negotiation,
00:23:47.160 no surrender,
00:23:48.500 and no
00:23:49.480 qualification
00:23:50.840 at all.
00:23:51.840 In other
00:23:52.320 words,
00:23:52.640 they will
00:23:54.260 attempt to
00:23:56.300 achieve their
00:23:56.860 objective no
00:23:57.960 matter what
00:23:58.640 the cost is
00:23:59.400 to the people
00:23:59.900 around them
00:24:00.460 or to
00:24:00.820 themselves,
00:24:01.260 because in
00:24:02.080 their mind
00:24:02.920 there's only
00:24:03.400 one objective,
00:24:05.000 and that's
00:24:05.260 the extermination 1.00
00:24:05.980 of all Jews, 0.97
00:24:06.880 and it doesn't
00:24:07.640 matter if it
00:24:08.220 takes every
00:24:08.740 single one of
00:24:09.340 them to do
00:24:09.820 it,
00:24:10.360 which is why
00:24:11.080 negotiating or
00:24:12.100 trying to
00:24:12.520 come up with
00:24:13.540 a political
00:24:14.040 solution is
00:24:15.000 never going
00:24:15.460 to work.
00:24:16.060 It just
00:24:16.440 won't happen.
00:24:17.940 Skip,
00:24:18.160 as a Bible
00:24:20.720 scholar,
00:24:22.660 you must
00:24:24.620 see,
00:24:24.960 you know,
00:24:25.300 Gog,
00:24:25.640 Magog,
00:24:26.320 Russia,
00:24:27.260 Iran,
00:24:27.980 never been
00:24:28.740 in an
00:24:29.000 alliance before,
00:24:30.360 they're in
00:24:30.840 an alliance
00:24:31.300 now,
00:24:32.080 the words
00:24:33.000 of those
00:24:33.940 followers in
00:24:35.640 Iran,
00:24:36.220 all of the
00:24:36.780 clerics are 1.00
00:24:37.520 what are
00:24:38.040 called
00:24:38.240 twelvers,
00:24:39.560 they believe
00:24:40.460 in the
00:24:40.700 twelfth
00:24:41.100 imam,
00:24:41.640 and I
00:24:42.460 believe their
00:24:43.280 good guy
00:24:44.320 is our
00:24:45.680 bad guy,
00:24:46.960 and our
00:24:47.820 good guy
00:24:48.340 is their
00:24:48.800 bad guy,
00:24:49.900 in their
00:24:51.680 end times
00:24:52.640 philosophies
00:24:53.820 and stories,
00:24:55.000 and they're
00:24:55.480 talking about
00:24:56.400 this is the
00:24:57.260 war to
00:24:58.260 bring in
00:25:00.220 the promised
00:25:00.840 one,
00:25:01.200 they're
00:25:01.600 talking about
00:25:02.260 a war
00:25:02.760 that is
00:25:03.320 biblical
00:25:03.840 in nature,
00:25:04.660 how concerned
00:25:05.800 are you of
00:25:06.420 this getting
00:25:06.960 into a
00:25:07.940 global war
00:25:09.200 and something
00:25:10.200 that at least
00:25:10.840 looks an
00:25:11.480 awful lot
00:25:12.060 like end
00:25:14.200 times kind
00:25:14.860 of predictions?
00:25:15.700 Yeah,
00:25:17.680 certainly there's
00:25:19.440 a concern,
00:25:20.220 because an
00:25:21.760 ideological war
00:25:23.260 doesn't
00:25:24.620 function in
00:25:25.400 the same
00:25:25.740 way that
00:25:26.280 any past
00:25:27.340 war that
00:25:28.080 we're aware
00:25:28.760 of in
00:25:29.020 modern history,
00:25:29.980 right?
00:25:30.180 our wars
00:25:31.200 were all
00:25:31.560 based on
00:25:32.180 basically
00:25:33.200 gain and
00:25:35.380 loss,
00:25:35.980 so we
00:25:36.780 went to
00:25:37.580 war when
00:25:38.100 we thought
00:25:38.760 we could
00:25:39.220 achieve a
00:25:39.920 victory
00:25:40.280 with the
00:25:41.380 reasonable
00:25:41.780 results
00:25:42.540 and have
00:25:44.380 some positive
00:25:45.180 impact for
00:25:46.200 ourselves,
00:25:46.640 but an
00:25:46.980 ideological war
00:25:47.940 doesn't work
00:25:48.460 that way,
00:25:49.040 and as you
00:25:49.440 pointed out,
00:25:50.060 a religious
00:25:50.460 war has
00:25:52.540 a purpose,
00:25:55.400 its only
00:25:55.900 purpose is to
00:25:56.680 fulfill the
00:25:57.220 mission that
00:25:57.660 God gives
00:25:58.180 you,
00:25:58.380 and in
00:26:00.040 this case,
00:26:00.780 if God
00:26:01.240 gives them
00:26:01.920 the mission
00:26:02.400 that means
00:26:03.100 that they
00:26:03.520 will bring
00:26:04.040 about the
00:26:04.900 end of the
00:26:05.520 world,
00:26:06.460 then their
00:26:07.700 eschatological
00:26:08.540 concern really
00:26:10.380 motivates this
00:26:12.560 fervor,
00:26:14.540 this insane
00:26:16.520 behavior,
00:26:19.200 and justifies
00:26:20.760 it all,
00:26:21.220 because in
00:26:21.760 the end,
00:26:22.340 you're cleaning
00:26:23.100 the world
00:26:23.860 for the
00:26:24.900 coming of
00:26:26.040 the 12th
00:26:28.100 mom,
00:26:28.480 or the
00:26:29.460 messiah,
00:26:30.020 right?
00:26:30.400 Yeah,
00:26:30.820 their
00:26:31.000 messiah,
00:26:31.680 not ours.
00:26:32.960 Skip,
00:26:33.640 thank you
00:26:34.780 so much,
00:26:35.440 I appreciate
00:26:35.880 it.
00:26:36.220 If you
00:26:36.440 want to
00:26:36.700 read more
00:26:37.200 from Skip,
00:26:37.740 we'd love
00:26:38.020 to have
00:26:38.220 you on
00:26:38.480 again,
00:26:39.160 skipmoen.com,
00:26:40.780 skipmoen.com,
00:26:42.100 best of
00:26:42.660 everything to
00:26:43.860 you,
00:26:44.080 stay safe.
00:26:44.920 This is the
00:26:45.340 best of the
00:26:45.880 Glenn Beck
00:26:46.300 program.
00:26:47.180 Andrew Tobin
00:26:47.760 is with us
00:26:48.200 now.
00:26:48.480 Hi,
00:26:48.720 Andrew.
00:26:49.640 Hi,
00:26:49.980 Glenn.
00:26:50.120 It is
00:26:51.600 nice to
00:26:53.100 talk to
00:26:54.460 you.
00:26:54.920 First,
00:26:55.340 let's get
00:26:55.680 an update
00:26:56.260 from what's
00:26:58.520 happening there.
00:26:59.240 I know the
00:26:59.540 president just
00:27:00.200 gave a speech
00:27:01.260 to Israel
00:27:01.860 and the
00:27:02.180 world.
00:27:03.160 What does
00:27:03.580 that mean
00:27:04.220 to people
00:27:05.200 who are
00:27:06.080 in Israel,
00:27:07.260 and how
00:27:08.820 is it going
00:27:09.160 to be viewed
00:27:09.760 in the
00:27:10.640 Middle East? 0.55
00:27:11.760 Yeah,
00:27:12.060 thank you
00:27:12.640 for having
00:27:12.960 me.
00:27:13.420 Yeah,
00:27:13.640 President
00:27:14.380 Biden just
00:27:15.100 arrived,
00:27:16.160 gave a
00:27:17.260 speech,
00:27:17.760 and he
00:27:18.640 also backed
00:27:21.860 the Israeli
00:27:23.860 take on
00:27:27.860 the blast
00:27:28.560 at the
00:27:29.220 Gaza
00:27:29.780 hospital.
00:27:30.780 He noted
00:27:31.220 that U.S. 0.96
00:27:32.740 intelligence
00:27:33.180 also confirmed
00:27:35.060 that Israeli 1.00
00:27:35.500 intelligence has
00:27:36.220 concluded that
00:27:36.860 that was an
00:27:39.080 Islamic jihad 0.95
00:27:39.820 rocket and
00:27:40.440 not an Israeli 1.00
00:27:41.120 rocket,
00:27:41.660 as so many
00:27:42.240 in the
00:27:44.100 international
00:27:44.540 and U.S.
00:27:45.040 media falsely
00:27:46.340 reported.
00:27:47.760 I think
00:27:48.540 that people
00:27:49.080 we've been
00:27:50.040 so far,
00:27:51.240 I think
00:27:51.700 Israelis are 1.00
00:27:52.540 skeptical
00:27:52.920 people,
00:27:54.400 and I
00:27:56.900 don't think
00:27:59.220 anyone is
00:28:00.400 expecting the
00:28:01.220 Biden
00:28:01.400 administration
00:28:01.880 to necessarily
00:28:04.900 save Israel,
00:28:06.120 but I think
00:28:06.840 we've so far
00:28:07.400 been,
00:28:07.840 people here
00:28:08.520 have been
00:28:08.760 pleasantly
00:28:09.320 surprised by
00:28:11.580 Biden's
00:28:12.660 backing of
00:28:13.480 Israel,
00:28:13.960 at least
00:28:14.180 rhetorically,
00:28:15.360 given his
00:28:16.360 record with
00:28:17.480 Iran and
00:28:19.120 some of
00:28:19.640 the rhetoric
00:28:20.380 by members
00:28:20.900 of the
00:28:21.600 Democratic
00:28:21.980 Party in
00:28:22.660 Washington,
00:28:23.820 D.C.
00:28:24.480 Horrible.
00:28:25.760 Horrible.
00:28:26.880 So, I
00:28:28.200 mean, Israel
00:28:28.860 is the one
00:28:30.000 ally that we
00:28:31.360 have that,
00:28:32.660 you know,
00:28:33.240 while they are
00:28:34.460 asking for aid,
00:28:35.620 they're the one
00:28:36.140 ally that is
00:28:36.840 like, no,
00:28:37.400 no, no,
00:28:37.640 no, no,
00:28:37.820 no, you're
00:28:38.440 not going to
00:28:38.740 fight our
00:28:39.120 battles,
00:28:39.560 we'll fight
00:28:40.160 our battle.
00:28:41.700 You just
00:28:42.480 want some
00:28:43.540 cover and
00:28:44.260 somebody saying,
00:28:45.500 no, Israel 0.99
00:28:45.880 has a right
00:28:46.380 to do that,
00:28:47.660 which is odd
00:28:49.600 and the only
00:28:50.400 ally that we
00:28:51.220 have that is
00:28:52.440 very capable
00:28:53.500 of fighting
00:28:55.060 their own
00:28:55.480 battle.
00:28:55.880 But this
00:28:56.500 looks like it
00:28:57.220 is going
00:28:57.940 into a
00:28:58.440 regional war
00:28:59.200 quickly.
00:29:00.120 Is that your
00:29:00.820 take on the
00:29:01.400 ground there?
00:29:03.200 That is the
00:29:04.440 fear.
00:29:05.760 Yeah.
00:29:07.200 Things are
00:29:07.880 heating up
00:29:08.460 with Hezbollah
00:29:09.860 in the north.
00:29:10.700 with even
00:29:13.600 in Syria,
00:29:14.460 there's been
00:29:14.900 some
00:29:15.300 exchanges
00:29:18.860 of fire.
00:29:20.860 And of
00:29:21.120 course,
00:29:21.420 Israel is
00:29:21.900 now preparing
00:29:22.740 to or
00:29:24.900 seems to be
00:29:25.880 preparing to
00:29:26.540 launch a
00:29:27.100 ground assault
00:29:27.800 into the
00:29:28.320 Gaza Strip,
00:29:29.140 which is,
00:29:29.480 you know,
00:29:30.360 where the
00:29:30.920 Hamas 0.96
00:29:32.680 terrorists 0.87
00:29:33.120 came from
00:29:34.160 on October
00:29:35.520 7th.
00:29:36.740 So,
00:29:37.040 yeah,
00:29:37.360 we,
00:29:38.400 and actually
00:29:39.640 in following
00:29:40.300 the false
00:29:43.600 reporting
00:29:44.100 and the
00:29:46.420 false claims
00:29:47.140 from the
00:29:47.980 Palestinians
00:29:48.420 about the
00:29:49.560 hospital bombing,
00:29:50.780 things have,
00:29:51.200 as you mentioned,
00:29:52.140 things have become
00:29:52.720 much more
00:29:53.160 inflamed as far
00:29:53.940 as protests
00:29:55.160 in the West
00:29:55.640 Bank,
00:29:56.840 mobs 0.93
00:29:59.700 surrounding
00:30:00.420 U.S.
00:30:00.840 embassies,
00:30:01.880 including in
00:30:03.400 Lebanon
00:30:04.160 and Beirut.
00:30:05.200 So,
00:30:06.340 yeah,
00:30:06.560 things appear
00:30:07.840 to be escalating.
00:30:08.920 I don't know.
00:30:10.500 I don't think
00:30:10.860 anyone knows
00:30:11.600 for sure
00:30:12.600 where it's
00:30:15.320 going.
00:30:16.260 And maybe,
00:30:17.220 I think,
00:30:19.460 I think most
00:30:20.540 Israelis hope
00:30:21.180 that it does not,
00:30:23.080 that the war
00:30:23.920 is contained
00:30:24.520 to the Gaza Strip
00:30:25.580 and that we can
00:30:26.620 deal with
00:30:27.180 the terrorists
00:30:28.680 who came
00:30:29.380 and slaughtered
00:30:31.420 our civilians 0.70
00:30:32.040 and took
00:30:32.760 a couple
00:30:33.960 hundred of
00:30:34.440 them hostage
00:30:35.340 without having
00:30:36.860 to fight
00:30:37.360 a regional
00:30:38.280 war.
00:30:38.900 But,
00:30:38.940 but,
00:30:40.100 it's definitely
00:30:41.340 a very real
00:30:42.000 possibility
00:30:42.520 that things
00:30:43.520 could escalate.
00:30:44.380 Yeah,
00:30:44.520 and that's not
00:30:45.220 going to stay
00:30:45.620 a regional war.
00:30:46.420 That'll go
00:30:46.800 global,
00:30:47.420 unfortunately,
00:30:48.140 I fear.
00:30:49.660 There's an
00:30:50.320 opinion poll
00:30:51.240 that I read
00:30:52.580 in your article.
00:30:53.660 Four in five
00:30:54.300 Jewish Israelis
00:30:55.220 blamed the
00:30:56.040 government
00:30:56.460 for the
00:30:57.460 rampage.
00:30:58.780 What does
00:30:59.460 that mean
00:31:00.000 exactly?
00:31:00.480 Yeah,
00:31:02.000 there was
00:31:02.320 actually
00:31:02.580 another,
00:31:03.200 another poll
00:31:04.300 that came
00:31:05.120 out either
00:31:05.540 yesterday or
00:31:06.420 today in a,
00:31:07.460 in a,
00:31:08.060 um,
00:31:09.520 Israeli newspaper
00:31:10.520 that,
00:31:11.720 uh,
00:31:12.960 that showed
00:31:13.460 even a higher
00:31:13.940 number.
00:31:14.340 I think it
00:31:14.580 was 94%
00:31:15.600 of Israelis
00:31:16.140 think the
00:31:17.040 government is
00:31:17.500 to blame
00:31:17.860 for this.
00:31:18.960 Uh,
00:31:19.160 it's been,
00:31:19.640 it's basically
00:31:21.000 it was a,
00:31:21.500 it was a massive
00:31:22.260 intelligence and
00:31:23.560 military,
00:31:24.220 military failure,
00:31:25.080 or at least
00:31:25.560 that's what it
00:31:25.940 appears to.
00:31:26.900 I think we can
00:31:27.480 just say that
00:31:27.900 definitively.
00:31:28.700 It was a massive
00:31:29.320 intelligence and
00:31:30.480 military failure
00:31:31.420 that,
00:31:32.140 that these,
00:31:34.160 uh,
00:31:35.420 what we,
00:31:35.920 what we're kind
00:31:36.400 of seeing as,
00:31:36.940 uh,
00:31:38.520 barbarian terrorists, 0.57
00:31:39.840 not a particularly, 0.81
00:31:40.540 um,
00:31:41.600 sophisticated group
00:31:42.660 were able to
00:31:43.640 burst across the
00:31:45.200 high-tech Israeli
00:31:45.900 border,
00:31:46.360 um,
00:31:47.640 and do so much
00:31:48.520 damage.
00:31:49.040 And the border
00:31:50.260 remained unsecured
00:31:52.120 for,
00:31:52.520 for,
00:31:53.060 uh,
00:31:53.920 many hours,
00:31:54.880 I believe days.
00:31:55.880 Uh,
00:31:56.400 there were still,
00:31:57.340 there were,
00:31:57.840 there were regular,
00:31:58.560 uh,
00:31:59.380 Palestinian citizens
00:32:00.500 from Gaza
00:32:01.100 not affiliated with
00:32:02.340 Hamas streaming 0.72
00:32:03.380 into the country,
00:32:04.420 participating in the
00:32:05.420 atrocities,
00:32:06.460 holding people hostage,
00:32:07.540 robbing them.
00:32:08.180 There's reports that
00:32:09.220 they were involved in
00:32:09.960 rapes and assaults
00:32:11.580 and kidnappings.
00:32:12.380 So it was a massive
00:32:14.180 failure to,
00:32:15.380 to predict that,
00:32:16.740 uh,
00:32:17.580 that apparently there
00:32:18.160 was,
00:32:18.540 there were,
00:32:18.880 there were indications
00:32:19.840 that it,
00:32:20.240 it should have been
00:32:21.380 detected.
00:32:22.280 And to,
00:32:23.340 um,
00:32:24.500 prevent it
00:32:25.180 and to deal with,
00:32:26.460 you know,
00:32:26.720 it took,
00:32:27.180 there were this heroic
00:32:27.880 stories of,
00:32:28.620 of Israeli soldiers.
00:32:30.500 Um,
00:32:31.060 I was seeing on
00:32:32.160 Israeli TV last night,
00:32:33.320 there was a one
00:32:34.100 young man who
00:32:35.380 killed dozens
00:32:36.520 and dozens of
00:32:37.200 terrorists in a,
00:32:38.260 in a small Israeli
00:32:39.500 village near the
00:32:40.240 border.
00:32:40.520 Um,
00:32:41.820 but he was just
00:32:42.460 on his own with a
00:32:43.480 couple,
00:32:44.260 a couple of his
00:32:44.920 friends,
00:32:45.320 um,
00:32:46.780 you know,
00:32:47.320 like basically,
00:32:49.000 uh,
00:32:50.600 fighting the,
00:32:51.920 uh,
00:32:52.580 fighting Hamas
00:32:53.400 terrorists as they,
00:32:54.160 as they continue to
00:32:54.880 flood in and,
00:32:55.520 and no one came to
00:32:56.600 the rescue.
00:32:57.480 Um,
00:32:57.700 so,
00:32:58.160 so people are
00:32:58.860 very,
00:32:59.560 um,
00:33:00.760 people,
00:33:01.280 Israel is a, 1.00
00:33:02.520 is a diverse country.
00:33:03.580 People don't always
00:33:04.160 know that.
00:33:04.760 Yeah.
00:33:05.420 Countries,
00:33:06.600 um,
00:33:07.480 Jews from the 0.99
00:33:08.100 Middle East who,
00:33:09.400 who were actually
00:33:10.060 expelled by the
00:33:11.020 Arab countries and
00:33:12.320 forced to,
00:33:13.000 uh,
00:33:13.660 take,
00:33:14.360 uh,
00:33:15.180 to take shelter or
00:33:16.540 to move to
00:33:17.200 Israel.
00:33:18.120 Um,
00:33:18.600 and,
00:33:19.040 and so,
00:33:20.020 um,
00:33:21.000 and there's lots
00:33:21.820 of different types
00:33:22.660 of,
00:33:22.920 uh,
00:33:23.160 Christians and
00:33:24.100 there's different
00:33:24.920 types of Jews and
00:33:25.960 there's,
00:33:26.420 um,
00:33:27.520 there's even,
00:33:28.180 uh,
00:33:28.420 quite a few Jews,
00:33:29.620 the Jews from 0.93
00:33:30.100 Russia and
00:33:30.600 Africa.
00:33:30.860 No,
00:33:31.000 I mean,
00:33:31.360 honestly,
00:33:32.000 if you've ever been
00:33:34.580 to Israel or just
00:33:35.620 around Jewish people
00:33:36.640 that I'm telling you,
00:33:37.580 you have two rabbis,
00:33:38.560 you have five
00:33:39.040 opinions.
00:33:40.260 Uh,
00:33:40.820 I mean,
00:33:41.240 it's like,
00:33:41.900 it's,
00:33:42.400 it's crazy.
00:33:43.260 And then we have
00:33:43.640 the Arabs and,
00:33:44.400 uh,
00:33:45.020 complicated.
00:33:46.260 So we are a very
00:33:47.400 divided country and
00:33:48.200 we,
00:33:48.480 we've,
00:33:48.800 we've had our fair
00:33:49.540 share of,
00:33:50.100 uh,
00:33:50.900 of beefs and
00:33:51.600 quarrels lately.
00:33:52.780 But,
00:33:53.300 um,
00:33:53.720 this event,
00:33:54.620 as you might expect,
00:33:55.520 kind of like,
00:33:56.320 um,
00:33:56.800 after 9-11 in the
00:33:57.880 United States,
00:33:58.920 united everyone,
00:34:00.220 has united everyone.
00:34:01.240 And it's been,
00:34:01.980 um,
00:34:04.000 it's been a real
00:34:04.820 national effort to,
00:34:06.360 uh,
00:34:06.760 to recover from
00:34:08.280 this and to rally
00:34:09.260 for,
00:34:09.820 for a war in
00:34:10.580 response to this.
00:34:11.440 But at the same
00:34:12.420 time,
00:34:12.760 people have
00:34:13.840 apparently lost
00:34:15.060 all faith in the
00:34:16.220 government.
00:34:16.540 So it's a very
00:34:17.240 kind of grassroots
00:34:18.100 effort.
00:34:19.940 Um,
00:34:20.380 and,
00:34:21.380 and it's not,
00:34:23.740 uh,
00:34:24.520 being led by our
00:34:25.860 politicians.
00:34:26.900 In fact,
00:34:27.700 yeah,
00:34:28.080 this is widely
00:34:29.680 anticipated that after
00:34:30.620 this war,
00:34:31.040 there will be a
00:34:31.520 reckoning and,
00:34:32.100 and,
00:34:33.180 um,
00:34:33.840 kind of a house
00:34:34.500 cleaning.
00:34:35.380 Is this,
00:34:36.420 is this,
00:34:37.460 um,
00:34:38.600 translating over
00:34:39.920 also to negotiating
00:34:41.480 with Hamas all the 0.98
00:34:42.900 time?
00:34:43.200 I mean,
00:34:43.440 is the idea,
00:34:44.800 at least the feeling
00:34:46.040 that we have here
00:34:46.960 is Israel's had 0.93
00:34:48.420 enough of this
00:34:49.300 little game of we
00:34:50.180 want a two-state
00:34:50.840 solution?
00:34:51.360 No,
00:34:51.540 you don't.
00:34:52.300 No,
00:34:52.560 you don't.
00:34:53.440 Um,
00:34:53.980 you know,
00:34:54.460 and,
00:34:54.740 and you're,
00:34:55.500 you're barbarians
00:34:56.760 and you can't,
00:34:58.040 we can't deal with
00:34:59.020 you.
00:34:59.180 Or is what's
00:35:01.160 happening to the
00:35:01.840 rest of the world
00:35:02.420 like,
00:35:02.860 you know,
00:35:03.180 wait a minute,
00:35:03.980 wait a minute,
00:35:04.360 let's not be too
00:35:05.160 rash here.
00:35:06.140 Is that happening
00:35:07.420 at all in Israel?
00:35:09.820 Yeah,
00:35:10.120 I,
00:35:10.400 I think in Israel,
00:35:11.700 the,
00:35:12.020 the,
00:35:12.760 there has been,
00:35:15.040 I think the idea
00:35:16.040 of a two-state
00:35:16.520 solution has,
00:35:17.160 has been kind of,
00:35:18.500 was discredited
00:35:19.200 in Israel
00:35:19.640 long before,
00:35:21.860 um,
00:35:23.020 this,
00:35:23.700 the U.S.
00:35:25.140 and American Jews
00:35:26.440 caught up.
00:35:27.120 So there isn't a lot
00:35:27.940 of faith in a two-state
00:35:28.800 solution.
00:35:29.360 We,
00:35:29.520 it's pretty clear
00:35:30.120 that there's no
00:35:30.640 partner for peace
00:35:31.460 right now.
00:35:32.140 Even those who would
00:35:32.840 very much like to see
00:35:33.800 peace,
00:35:34.480 which is probably a
00:35:35.980 majority of the
00:35:36.860 country,
00:35:37.520 still holds out hope,
00:35:38.480 but no one expects
00:35:40.120 it anytime soon.
00:35:41.460 Uh,
00:35:41.940 this,
00:35:42.320 this has definitely,
00:35:43.540 no one is talking
00:35:44.900 about,
00:35:45.280 about,
00:35:45.820 uh,
00:35:47.520 about reconciliation
00:35:48.300 right now.
00:35:48.900 This has definitely,
00:35:49.620 um,
00:35:50.180 kind of driven home
00:35:51.480 the point that
00:35:52.320 they're,
00:35:52.820 um,
00:35:54.360 that Israel has to 0.94
00:35:55.560 fight for its
00:35:56.020 existence,
00:35:56.380 and there's,
00:35:56.820 there's no one to
00:35:57.420 talk to about,
00:35:58.200 about a two-state
00:35:59.540 solution at the
00:36:00.460 moment.
00:36:00.720 We are seeing,
00:36:02.740 uh,
00:36:03.480 some really
00:36:04.280 frightening things
00:36:05.300 here in America,
00:36:06.360 uh,
00:36:07.060 and all over the
00:36:07.780 world,
00:36:08.160 London,
00:36:08.500 uh,
00:36:09.460 with these Palestinian 0.95
00:36:10.540 support groups
00:36:11.560 that are,
00:36:12.480 you know,
00:36:13.800 uh,
00:36:14.680 you know,
00:36:15.060 exhilarated is the
00:36:16.180 quote from one,
00:36:17.000 uh,
00:36:17.300 one,
00:36:17.760 uh,
00:36:18.300 college professor,
00:36:19.280 um,
00:36:20.620 by the,
00:36:21.580 the killing and the,
00:36:23.220 the killing of
00:36:23.900 innocence and,
00:36:25.400 and the executions
00:36:27.080 that,
00:36:27.700 that happened by,
00:36:28.720 uh,
00:36:29.320 Gaza and,
00:36:30.300 you know,
00:36:31.120 there are some
00:36:31.580 politicians now here
00:36:32.540 in America saying
00:36:33.220 maybe we should,
00:36:35.020 uh, 0.95
00:36:36.020 deport some of these 0.96
00:36:37.800 people. 0.99
00:36:39.120 Can,
00:36:39.840 can,
00:36:40.320 can the rest of the
00:36:41.380 world live with
00:36:42.500 the Palestinians?
00:36:43.780 How do you,
00:36:44.360 how do you know who
00:36:46.000 the good Palestinians
00:36:46.800 are and who the bad
00:36:47.640 Palestinians are?
00:36:50.400 That's a tough
00:36:51.360 question.
00:36:52.540 I'll,
00:36:53.320 I think what I could
00:36:54.600 say,
00:36:55.120 um,
00:36:56.800 I,
00:36:57.520 I,
00:36:57.800 by the way,
00:36:58.120 I've been a reporter
00:36:58.720 in Israel for,
00:36:59.620 uh,
00:37:00.200 I was,
00:37:00.740 I was,
00:37:01.160 I'm an American
00:37:02.100 Jew. 0.90
00:37:02.880 My,
00:37:03.100 my father is Jewish
00:37:04.540 and I grew up in
00:37:05.160 the U S and I
00:37:06.300 moved here about a
00:37:07.700 decade ago to
00:37:09.260 report.
00:37:09.700 And I met it,
00:37:10.400 uh,
00:37:10.800 I met an Israeli
00:37:11.640 girl and fell in
00:37:12.960 love and started a
00:37:13.980 family.
00:37:14.260 And now,
00:37:14.740 and now I'm,
00:37:15.560 I've been stuck here
00:37:16.400 ever since happily
00:37:17.340 stuck here,
00:37:17.900 um,
00:37:18.800 for the most part,
00:37:19.540 but stuck here.
00:37:20.520 Um,
00:37:21.000 so I'm,
00:37:21.340 I'm Israeli now and
00:37:22.360 I live in Israeli
00:37:22.960 life.
00:37:23.480 Um,
00:37:23.960 but I'm,
00:37:24.300 I'm,
00:37:24.620 I'm American,
00:37:25.520 um,
00:37:27.080 first and foremost
00:37:28.260 in some ways.
00:37:29.380 And,
00:37:30.080 um,
00:37:30.600 and I have been
00:37:32.360 really appalled
00:37:34.860 by the response
00:37:37.480 from parts of the
00:37:39.820 left and the media
00:37:41.680 in the U S to this.
00:37:42.680 And I think a lot of
00:37:43.480 even liberal American
00:37:45.100 Jews are kind of 0.99
00:37:46.220 waking up that there's
00:37:47.760 a bigger problem here
00:37:48.900 that you see so much
00:37:51.000 of an overlap
00:37:52.740 between a kind of
00:37:53.720 radical Islamist
00:37:55.500 ideology and,
00:37:56.460 and what's supposed
00:37:57.060 to be progressive
00:37:58.000 worldview and just
00:37:59.360 this,
00:38:00.220 the,
00:38:00.620 the hatred of,
00:38:03.440 of America and
00:38:05.740 Israel and,
00:38:07.160 and,
00:38:08.380 you know,
00:38:09.440 the West in
00:38:10.580 general,
00:38:11.000 um,
00:38:12.460 the,
00:38:12.920 the rejection of
00:38:13.820 kind of liberal,
00:38:14.720 basic liberal
00:38:15.360 principles about,
00:38:16.380 you know,
00:38:17.320 uh,
00:38:17.840 equality under the
00:38:18.620 law and,
00:38:19.940 um,
00:38:20.340 all people being
00:38:21.680 equal and a more
00:38:22.920 of a worldview that's
00:38:24.020 about oppression and
00:38:25.880 power and vengeance
00:38:27.220 and retribution.
00:38:28.280 And yeah,
00:38:29.580 it's been very,
00:38:30.360 very disheartening,
00:38:31.820 worse than I would
00:38:32.400 have even expected
00:38:33.100 in a lot of ways.
00:38:34.060 Um,
00:38:34.500 there have been some,
00:38:35.260 you know,
00:38:35.400 there's been some
00:38:36.120 bright spots,
00:38:37.240 of course,
00:38:37.940 um,
00:38:38.460 Biden has been less
00:38:39.780 bad than,
00:38:40.580 than feared.
00:38:41.400 And there's been
00:38:42.360 some sympathy for
00:38:43.660 Israel and the media
00:38:44.740 and everything,
00:38:45.120 but you know,
00:38:45.660 yeah,
00:38:45.800 you see what
00:38:46.460 Rashida would believe 0.72
00:38:47.600 and,
00:38:47.860 you know,
00:38:48.160 on Omar's Black Lives 0.76
00:38:49.360 Matter and the,
00:38:50.340 Harvard students
00:38:51.340 and you see the,
00:38:53.040 you know,
00:38:54.400 the really atrocious
00:38:55.440 reporting on this,
00:38:56.440 on this,
00:38:57.480 uh,
00:38:57.840 hospital blast that, 0.98
00:38:59.160 that,
00:38:59.600 um,
00:39:00.940 was pretty clearly
00:39:01.620 carried out or
00:39:02.420 maybe it was an
00:39:03.300 accident,
00:39:03.680 but it was clearly,
00:39:04.220 pretty clearly,
00:39:04.860 um,
00:39:05.700 the result of a
00:39:06.440 Palestinian rocket
00:39:07.200 and you had the
00:39:08.240 New York Times
00:39:08.840 and so much of,
00:39:10.200 of the U.S.
00:39:11.100 media taking as
00:39:12.800 fact the word of,
00:39:13.780 uh,
00:39:15.480 of Hamas terrorists
00:39:16.440 as far as what
00:39:17.800 happened and how
00:39:18.460 many people were
00:39:19.080 killed and all that.
00:39:19.840 And I think that's just
00:39:20.680 that,
00:39:21.240 that actual event
00:39:22.200 yesterday
00:39:22.800 as was really
00:39:24.380 kind of,
00:39:24.860 uh,
00:39:26.260 a good microcosm
00:39:27.280 or it was very
00:39:28.100 revealing about a
00:39:29.480 larger trend that
00:39:30.320 isn't always quite so
00:39:31.400 blatant and explicit
00:39:32.280 with,
00:39:32.660 with,
00:39:33.820 uh,
00:39:34.220 the,
00:39:34.820 the media's tendency
00:39:35.820 to just,
00:39:36.420 the left,
00:39:38.680 uh,
00:39:39.140 sympathy to the
00:39:39.860 Palestinian cause
00:39:40.840 and the media's
00:39:41.680 tendency to take
00:39:42.720 the terrorists
00:39:43.860 at their word.
00:39:44.640 We're,
00:39:45.060 uh,
00:39:45.220 we're talking,
00:39:45.640 uh,
00:39:47.000 we're talking to
00:39:47.640 Andrew Tobin.
00:39:48.900 I'm sorry,
00:39:49.220 we have a delay,
00:39:49.920 uh,
00:39:50.340 on the phone.
00:39:50.920 Um,
00:39:51.240 Washington Free Beacon

00:39:53.400 He's an American,
00:39:54.300 lives there,
00:39:55.740 has family there.
00:39:57.220 He's,
00:39:57.740 you know,
00:39:58.000 been instructed,
00:39:59.060 you know,
00:39:59.300 come home by the U.S. 0.99
00:40:00.580 State Department.
00:40:01.280 He won't.
00:40:02.180 Why?
00:40:03.040 Why do you live there?
00:40:05.240 It's a question that
00:40:06.080 some people would ask.
00:40:07.600 Andrew,
00:40:07.800 I have 90 seconds.
00:40:09.060 Um,
00:40:09.880 answer for me
00:40:11.020 the question,
00:40:12.200 why would you just
00:40:13.380 keep your family
00:40:14.360 in danger
00:40:15.740 by staying there?
00:40:17.320 Why not leave Israel? 0.96
00:40:19.660 We,
00:40:20.620 we considered
00:40:21.900 that,
00:40:22.420 then the potential
00:40:23.540 need to leave
00:40:24.180 to protect
00:40:24.920 our young son
00:40:26.320 who's four years old
00:40:27.320 and our,
00:40:29.340 uh,
00:40:29.540 my wife is,
00:40:30.340 seven and a half
00:40:32.180 months or so
00:40:32.820 pregnant.
00:40:33.680 So there was,
00:40:34.620 there,
00:40:34.860 we,
00:40:35.200 we didn't dismiss
00:40:36.120 the idea of leaving
00:40:36.820 outright,
00:40:37.360 but,
00:40:37.800 um,
00:40:39.320 but my wife's 0.97
00:40:41.000 family's here.
00:40:42.020 Her brother
00:40:42.820 is,
00:40:43.080 is,
00:40:43.700 uh,
00:40:44.340 a commando
00:40:45.140 soldier who
00:40:45.880 is returning
00:40:46.280 from the U.S.
00:40:47.420 actually,
00:40:47.760 where he was living
00:40:48.360 to fight this war.
00:40:49.540 Her sister,
00:40:50.140 uh,
00:40:51.020 is serving
00:40:51.500 in the military.
00:40:52.320 Her base
00:40:52.680 was overrun 0.53
00:40:53.220 by these terrorists.
00:40:54.820 Um,
00:40:55.460 we have a community
00:40:56.460 here to support
00:40:57.400 and,
00:40:58.740 um,
00:40:59.360 that's one thing.
00:41:00.780 And the other thing
00:41:01.800 is we,
00:41:02.740 like you said,
00:41:03.520 um,
00:41:04.420 we feel the need
00:41:05.460 to be here
00:41:06.180 kind of in solidarity
00:41:07.100 with the Jewish nation,
00:41:08.540 which doesn't have
00:41:09.640 anywhere else
00:41:10.660 to go.
00:41:11.620 Yeah.
00:41:12.100 And this is a fight
00:41:12.840 that,
00:41:13.180 that we have to win.
00:41:14.520 And,
00:41:15.140 um,
00:41:15.600 and I think in some ways
00:41:17.260 it's a fight for,
00:41:18.860 against all these forces
00:41:20.200 we've been talking about.
00:41:21.240 Yeah.
00:41:21.580 Um,
00:41:22.380 the,
00:41:22.620 the enemies of freedom
00:41:24.280 around the world.
00:41:25.040 Yeah.
00:41:25.540 Andrew,
00:41:26.160 um,

00:41:31.780 you know,
00:41:32.060 that I or my audience
00:41:33.300 can do to help you,
