This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines.
00:00:05.400
Enjoy the warm Tampa Bay temperatures and warm Porter hospitality on your way there.
00:00:11.360
All Porter fares include beer, wine, and snacks, and free, fast-streaming Wi-Fi on planes with no middle seats.
00:00:18.780
And your Tampa Bay vacation includes good times, relaxation, and great Gulf Coast weather.
00:00:25.160
Visit flyporter.com and actually enjoy economy.
00:00:30.000
The founders of this country understood that freedom is never more than a moment away from vanishing in an unarmed population.
00:00:36.320
And that's why they crafted the Second Amendment.
00:00:38.200
And I believe in that freedom and that responsibility.
00:00:41.200
But not every emergency situation calls for lethal force.
00:00:51.460
There's a great compliment to my firearms, and I think they would be really something you should look into.
00:00:57.500
Government agencies and police departments all over the country rely on Burna every day as their now go-to less lethal option.
00:01:05.660
It works for them, and I think it'll work for you, too.
00:01:08.020
Sometimes you have to choose between life and death, but that is in every situation.
00:01:12.320
And with things getting crazy on the streets, you don't want to load your gun with bullets, please.
00:01:21.500
It's a Burna launcher, and it launches kinetic rounds.
00:02:47.520
There is an ancient evil that is sweeping the world right now,
00:02:52.700
and our college campuses are round zero for it.
00:03:02.120
with a semaphore national political reporter, David Weigel.
00:03:15.320
The moment you've been dreading your whole life has arrived.
00:03:18.460
You have to act fast, your own sake, and that for your family.
00:03:23.660
Because you're smart, you didn't just dread it all those years.
00:03:41.500
And you can secure these supplies at mypatriotsupply.com.
00:03:45.020
You can start with a four-week emergency food kit.
00:03:47.980
This thing provides over 2,000 calories every day.
00:03:50.420
All the food is protected by heavy-duty four-layer packaging
00:03:55.960
It's sealed inside a rugged bucket with handles that you can grab if you're in a hurry.
00:04:02.860
Get as many food kits as your family might need.
00:04:18.780
There is an ancient evil that is sweeping the world.
00:05:17.260
The governor comes out and says we will not tolerate anti-Semitism.
00:05:27.040
And most of these college students really have no idea what they're even protesting.
00:05:35.460
And what would you say is the main goal with tonight's protest?
00:05:39.600
I think the goal is just showing our support for Palestine and demanding that NYU stop.
00:06:05.140
What's happening on America's college campuses is horrific.
00:06:09.820
Anti-Semitic mobs have taken over leading universities.
00:06:18.140
This is reminiscent of what happened in German universities in the 1930s.
00:06:23.320
It's not only reminiscent of what happened in Germany in the 1930s.
00:06:38.420
Hitler was building his sixth concentration camp.
00:06:48.880
Americans gathered to salute the flag at Madison Square Garden.
00:06:56.340
I pledge undivided allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
00:07:11.060
one nation indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
00:07:21.520
came and stood in front of giant portraits of George Washington
00:52:21.960
This is not something anyone and everyone could
00:52:47.360
But in the allegation described in the lawsuit, it claims
00:52:55.460
The allegation claims that the encryption key can
00:52:58.320
easily be secured for on the system, and that the only
00:53:06.820
This petition that makes this claim, from March, claims that
00:53:12.660
malicious, a malicious actor could use this to, quote,
00:53:17.780
gain total access and control over an election, end quote.
00:53:22.740
When you go to vote, and you get a ballot, you mark your selections at the voting
00:53:30.080
Then when you're finished, the machine prints the vote.
00:53:35.260
An election official scans the ballot into the tabulator and records your vote.
00:53:40.640
The information is later saved to a memory card, and that is taken to a computer.
00:53:46.160
That computer is where this alleged vulnerability is claimed to be.
00:53:52.860
How many people in the election office have access to that computer?
00:53:57.200
What if the only guy with the key in that office is malicious?
00:54:04.260
Now, clearly, this does not appear to be something that anyone could pull off.
00:54:09.280
People without the proper skill could not do this.
00:54:14.560
But what's being alleged would take some expertise, but appears that maybe
00:54:21.320
the court filing described this alleged vulnerability as, quote,
00:54:27.320
a bank telling the public that they have the most secure vault in the world,
00:54:33.020
and then taping the combination of the vault on the wall next to the door.
00:54:39.300
I'm going to show you some video here and some long disclaimers.
00:54:47.740
Because we asked a cybersecurity expert with knowledge of this allegation to attempt to
00:54:58.880
We asked them if they could use the same Dominion software and then asked if they could screen record
00:55:08.720
Disclaimer, and then I think we have another disclaimer coming up.
00:55:21.740
So you would log in here, put your password in.
00:55:28.300
Okay, database does not require additional password once a viewer is logged into Windows.
00:55:35.120
All of this up there, it's all encrypted, you see?
00:55:38.860
But the encryption keys are stored in this table right here in plain text.
00:55:43.780
So they take the keys, this is the key to the main vault, and you cut and paste.
00:55:53.180
When you put the keys in, here's the last one, this is what happens.
00:56:05.480
Now you can decrypt the election files using the extracted keys and a few lines of code.
00:56:18.420
Now using the keys, a description script is executed.
00:56:32.280
A user can run a script to re-encrypt it if they wanted to make any changes.
00:56:38.600
The conclusion from the expert, with no password in just a few minutes with an election server,
00:56:44.140
an individual can access the keys to the election.
00:56:51.840
Let me play one more thing, because I brought John Graves in last night, and we went to
00:56:58.200
the chalkboard, and I said, just so people understand what I just showed you, look at
00:57:04.720
Well, I want to make sure that we have this right and everybody understands.
00:57:09.360
The election, the voting machine, is like a bank.
00:57:15.600
And to get in to the front door, you need a key.
00:57:22.600
Any Dominion employee, a county commissioner, they would either have it or have authority.
00:57:26.380
Anybody who can access the database has the PC login key.
00:57:37.200
Username and password, and you put the password in.
00:57:48.620
So you have the key to the, and all commissioners have this, and that's normal.
00:57:52.840
But in the lobby of the bank, in the open are the four keys that open the vault.
00:58:02.660
So what can you do in the vault with the four keys?
00:58:05.960
So the allegations that were made in this lawsuit that you pointed out, these keys could
00:58:13.420
shut off the cameras and wipe that you were there because they're encryption keys.
00:58:18.140
They could take the gold and replace it with counterfeit gold.
00:58:20.980
Take the cash, replace it with counterfeit cash.
00:58:25.660
And then literally go right back out, and no one would know that you're there.
00:58:29.380
You showed that on the demonstration of the cybersecurity experts.
00:58:36.480
So we're going to go through this just a little bit more.
00:58:38.700
And then the most important part, what do we do?
00:58:43.900
This audience could play a very big role in saving the republic.
00:58:54.500
But we all have to do it because this is really kind of happening through us.
00:59:02.020
And so you have to spread the word because there's, you know, there may be 10 million people
00:59:13.700
John Graves joins us with a solution in just a second.
00:59:18.880
There's never been a better time in the history of the state of Israel when they needed our
00:59:23.660
Israel is fighting a two-front war that, you know, keeps tiptoeing right up to the edge
00:59:29.940
It's a war that they did not start, but it is something they have to finish.
00:59:33.680
And everyone is bailing on the Jewish people again.
00:59:37.320
Again, not the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, not this program, and
00:59:44.740
The IFCJ has been aiding the depossessed Jews in Israel since long before October 7th.
00:59:54.860
Right now, they are under such attack that the bombs are still coming.
00:59:59.260
And when you're up at the border, and I know because I was there at one point and Hamas
01:00:05.500
sent off a rocket and it landed by us, we ran into a bomb shelter that was right in this
01:00:19.020
But they don't have enough of these bomb shelters, and they need bomb shelters at the bus stops
01:00:25.380
where the kids and people stand to get ready for school.
01:00:35.880
We want to make sure that these bomb shelters are at every bus stop, at least in the north
01:00:44.360
The shelters are about $15,000 each, but five bucks would even help.
01:00:48.040
Just visit supportifcj.org and make your secure donation.
01:01:08.080
John Graves, he's an attorney, software executive of Million Voices.
01:01:12.660
He is the CEO, and you can find Million Voices at millionvoices.org, and that's an important
01:01:24.560
So we talked maybe a couple of months ago, and I was very concerned.
01:01:30.560
And so there's all kinds of efforts all around the country to shore up the elections, and
01:01:34.500
there's also all kinds of activity all over the country trying to make it easier to, quote,
01:01:42.540
And you said, Glenn, because I don't even know what this even says or does.
01:01:47.980
And you said, I know, but we've looked into it.
01:01:52.100
You personally looked into it with several experts, right?
01:02:02.000
Well, the first two, the Rendell, the AES encryption keys are the ones that primarily encrypt and
01:02:09.120
So once you decrypt, you can know what the vote totals were, who voted what, everything
01:02:16.560
And the other keys deal with a little more like on your bank analogy, wiping the logs
01:02:21.420
or cutting out, making it look legitimate, like a bank transaction that you and I talked
01:02:28.780
But together, the four keys, they're supposed to be there.
01:02:31.800
They're just supposed to be stored, or they themselves are supposed to be encrypted.
01:02:34.320
And they are literally out in the open in the lobby.
01:02:38.380
Once you get past the, if you know what you're looking for, and it does take somewhat of an
01:02:43.680
expert to know what you're looking for, but somebody nefarious, once they get past the
01:02:48.700
Microsoft firewall, which, you know, is something, but not to protect the Republic.
01:02:54.980
Well, even the allegations in that lawsuit said that Microsoft, they cited a YouTube
01:02:59.660
where a novice could do it in a couple of minutes, an expert could do it in two, a novice
01:03:05.060
If you have one bad actor, that's the concern, is you want transparency.
01:03:09.780
You want to make sure that these things are secure.
01:03:12.340
You also might have a commissioner that, or somebody in the Republican or Democratic Party,
01:03:18.180
I'm not making any accusations, that could go in, know where these keys are, now especially
01:03:23.820
that it is out in the open, and do whatever they wanted, allegedly.
01:03:34.300
Sometimes the cost of doing one's duty comes very, very high, and the heroes in this country
01:03:38.900
and abroad, service members, first responders alike, who will give up everything, up to and
01:03:45.440
including paying the ultimate price in service of their nation and their community.
01:03:55.020
Who's on the front line for those who are on the front line?
01:04:03.360
95 cents of every dollar goes right directly to the program that affects these gold star
01:04:10.760
They have a smart home and homeless veteran program.
01:04:14.740
They comprise their in-the-line-of-duty programs.
01:04:20.260
Why haven't we opened up the hotels in our cities for the veterans?
01:04:30.300
Please, never forget the sacrifice of our country's greatest heroes.
01:04:35.160

01:05:12.380
So we all know we're all concerned about the election.
01:05:16.300
Last night on the TV show, I gave you eight things that you should be aware of.
01:05:21.040
And then the last piece was about the voting machines and a possible problem, an alleged vulnerability.
01:05:32.100
And we need to get the vulnerability part out of everything.
01:05:37.480
We have to be able to believe that our election is secure.
01:05:43.060
John Graves, he's an attorney and a software executive.
01:05:49.580
Has what I think is the solution and a very good one.
01:06:00.420
And I'm going to, I'm just going to do this as we talk.
01:06:05.000
So you go to millionvoices.org and then you're signing up.
01:06:08.200
So you're just giving us some way to contact you, like your name and email.
01:06:14.360
We need your home registered address so that we can match you to your official that you vote for, county commissioner, state rep, whatever, depending on what issues you click.
01:06:23.200
Then when you do that, if you click election integrity, make sure you check that one.
01:06:28.780
You may also care about the border, Israel, other things.
01:06:31.500
But when you do that, we're going to give you a form letter.
01:06:34.120
And then there's three actions that you can do because my passion is you're the one that can change things.
01:06:39.520
The listeners today are the ones that can change.
01:06:44.260
And if you already have read the letter, you watch the special, you kind of know what you're doing here.
01:06:49.360
You can call your state rep or your county commissioner.
01:06:53.540
Or number two, you click the button to email and you just copy the letter that we're saying, transparency.
01:07:04.240
As a resident voter of this country, I'm writing you, or this county, I'm writing you to ask for an investigation into the electronic software and database used to administer elections in our county.
01:07:15.780
I am not making any allegations or focused on the disputed elections of the past.
01:07:20.020
I am concerned about the elections this November, 2024.
01:07:23.600
I ask you if you will investigate and take any necessary action to ensure that our future elections are fair and secure.
01:07:29.860
It has been revealed that three highly qualified cybersecurity computer experts, see the link below, discovered that critical encryption passwords were left in plain text in the election databases in some counties using Dominion database.
01:07:44.760
I'm not suggesting that these are problems that exist here.
01:07:48.240
Rather, I'm simply asking for a verification that our systems are inspected and found to be in good order.
01:07:54.920
If the passwords for our election systems are easily discoverable by hackers, this would make it impossible to guarantee the integrity of the election.
01:08:04.520
No matter which election vendor serves our country, it still warrants an examination.
01:08:09.200
Like the recent spat in airline mishaps, if one airplane model is having problems, it's a good idea for all systems to be checked to ensure that they're designed and working securely.
01:08:22.540
I specifically ask that a bipartisan team inspect to verify if our election database user password is encrypted, and if not, demonstrate how that encryption will be turned on before the voting this fall.
01:08:35.880
If our electronic database has the same election database pass keys, and it goes on and on and on, and you're asking them to do this, if you are not the official with authority over our election processes or the election databases, I would appreciate if you would provide me with that person's contact information.
01:08:52.460
I'd be sharing my concerns and your response with as many of my friends and neighbors as possible.
01:08:57.200
Everyone needs to care about our elections being fair and secure.
01:09:01.160
I appreciate your service, your willingness to investigate this matter.
01:09:04.400
Nothing done in the civic arena is more important than making sure our elections are done with integrity.
01:09:10.260
So then when you click on that, you can cut and paste it.
01:09:15.900
You should make it your own, but that gives you the outline.
01:09:22.640
It will attach it to an email to your county commissioner without you even having to know who your county commissioner is.
01:09:33.300
It will click up who your county commissioner or person is.
01:09:47.060
And then you're asking for some very practical things.
01:09:51.040
And if enough citizens talk to their local county person, that's where this all happens, Glenn.
01:09:56.460
Those county people are sometimes elected by, you know, 200.
01:10:07.460
And they may say, I had no idea this was a concern.
01:10:12.340
And if it is a problem, we give them clear steps.
01:10:15.060
You can encrypt the user password as just one quick step.
01:10:18.520
You can make sure we keep the paper ballots, keep the images, have a clear chain of custody,
01:10:23.700
just simple, you know, about five simple things that anyone could do.
01:10:27.600
And then the third thing you can do, you can email them, you can call them.
01:10:33.200
And so we ask people to just personalize that letter because they have to process the letter
01:10:38.320
And it kind of also is documenting, hey, there's a lot of people concerned about this.
01:10:42.240
And it's when the citizens speak out that things happen.
01:10:46.480
So does this give them, because if I got this, I would like, we've already been inspected
01:11:01.400
And they can even send the link to your special and say, hey, here's what it shows on here.
01:11:05.340
Just follow the login and look at that table and say, you know, we just want to know our
01:11:12.900
That's what we care about is what about our county?
01:11:16.940
And if there's not an encrypted password, if it's in plain text, if the tracing is turned
01:11:22.300
off on the database, like the election cameras in the bank analogy, I want to know anybody
01:11:31.200
So why don't I give you the clip, or you may already have it, just the clip without me
01:11:39.260
Just the clip and say, look, we know if you're using this machine, this is what it looks like.
01:11:47.360
So we'll send that to you, and you can include that.
01:11:50.600
Because I think they, I mean, I know if I were a county commissioner, I wouldn't.
01:11:55.680
And I think that's why we're trying to make it simple.
01:11:57.580
I say, you know, put the cookies on the lowest shelf so everybody can get one.
01:12:00.920
It's like the county commissioner can go look, have a Democrat and a Republican there,
01:12:05.520
video the thing, and then say, hey, this got fixed.
01:12:11.380
Or, this didn't get fixed, let's do these steps to make sure we got transparency here.
01:12:16.280
Is there anything that is happening right now in any state that is important?
01:12:20.500
There are several of them, and there's a lot of fights.
01:12:22.400
One of my passions, I tell people government belongs to those who show up, so you have to
01:12:26.260
vote, but victory belongs to those who don't give up.
01:12:28.860
So a lot of states, like Wisconsin, the legislature stopped Zuckbuck's private funding of election,
01:12:36.160
But then they put it back on the ballot, and the people overrode the governor.
01:12:43.380
The legislature has now passed, let's watermark all the ballots in the future, and let's make
01:12:48.200
it open record so that we can, they still, three and a half years later, haven't looked
01:12:52.360
at Georgia, which was one of the big disputed states.
01:12:56.960
Watermarks are, it's like your dollar, it's watermark.
01:13:06.920
So in our bank analogy, if I have a check, there should be two checks on that.
01:13:11.840
One, digitally, the bank should be able to count it, so that's one place that we make
01:13:17.380
But two, I should be able to go look at my check.
01:13:29.740
Somebody modified it before you got it and you counted it.
01:13:32.820
So it's one thing to just count the digital, it doesn't mean anything if they're stuffing
01:13:36.400
counterfeit dollar bills, and you just count the dollar bills.
01:13:42.280
So where do they stand in Georgia on the watermarking?
01:13:44.600
On the watermark, they pass the legislation, but the governor has to sign it or veto it by
01:13:52.340
But he said, hey, we're good here on election integrity.
01:13:55.420
So if you live in Georgia, you know somebody in Georgia, might be a good letter.
01:13:58.880
And what we'll do for people who sign up at Million Voices, those are the kind of things
01:14:04.780
We match your passion to the practical solution.
01:14:13.440
That's why when you first get there, it says, tell me your passions.
01:14:23.740
I unfortunately checked all of them, so I think I'm going to be getting a lot from you.
01:14:27.800
Well, and if it's one person, mostly it's the state rep.
01:14:31.400
Your state rep has, you said it last night on the special, things are coming back to
01:14:37.300
That's the great thing about the constitutional court we have right now.
01:14:42.720
That is constitutionally, that belongs to the state.
01:14:46.660
The stuff I showed before we got into this are truly terrifying.
01:14:50.760
What the federal government is doing, and these public-private partnerships are absolutely
01:14:59.140
out of control, and nobody is really talking about it.
01:15:03.560
Yeah, and I tell people, somebody asked me this morning, they said, hey, I saw your special
01:15:09.120
last night, or is it going to be secure or not?
01:15:13.320
It's better now, what you just mentioned, private funding.
01:15:15.820
Twenty-eight states now have passed, hey, we don't want somebody like Zuckbox coming
01:15:23.360
But there's a lot of work that needs to be done.
01:15:26.960
We can fight for the issues you're passionate, but you need to vote, and you need to get all
01:15:31.840
And that's why we ask people to pledge to do two things.
01:15:34.280
You know, there were only between 16 and 19% of the American population back in the 1700s
01:15:48.420
It just takes committed people that will not sit down.
01:15:53.480
And I know you're frustrated, but you really are the hero in this story.
01:15:57.780
You are the one that will make the change if you choose to do so.
01:16:03.220
Yeah, they have to vote and have to use their voice.
01:16:05.580
My girls play basketball, and so I tell them all the time, you know, we may have a bad referee.
01:16:09.940
Maybe he's incompetent, or maybe he's getting paid.
01:16:20.940
And so if we show up and vote in enough numbers and bring your friends, it'll shock people.
01:16:25.960
But the number one way we can solve this is government belongs to those who show up.
01:16:29.720
If we don't show up and vote, we can't change these laws.
01:16:32.480
I've got about a minute left, and I want you to share the scripture that we were talking about
01:16:36.880
Luke 18 is the least politically powerful person.
01:16:41.140
Think about a widow in the time Jesus told this story that had an unjust judge, and he
01:16:51.100
She used her voice to the judge, and she prayed.
01:16:54.580
We want you to vote, and we want you to try to secure your vote.
01:16:57.780
But I will tell you that I think Mother Teresa said something like this, that I used to think
01:17:19.000
One of the things that I love best about Patriot Mobile is that they let you know right up
01:17:26.560
If you're with Verizon, are you aware that you're donating every time you pay, you're giving
01:17:37.940
They are America's only Christian conservative mobile phone company.
01:17:41.900
The mission is to passionately defend our God-given constitutional rights and freedoms and to
01:17:48.020
Let me tell you, if there were 15 million people that were Patriot Mobile subscribers,
01:17:57.540
Because A, you would send a message to all of the others that are giving money to the
01:18:02.000
left and doing their bidding, and they take a pretty significant portion of their earnings
01:18:14.680
Here in Texas, they helped turn the tide on the school boards.
01:18:19.740
They do these things around the country, and they can do more with more people that are
01:18:25.140
You're going to get the same great coverage that you get from all three.
01:18:29.560
You're going to get better service, I think, customer service, all U.S.-based, and you're
01:18:47.980
You're listening to the swinging sounds of Glenn Beck.
01:18:54.420
This is so critical that you go to millionvoices.org and do what we were saying.
01:19:15.700
This podcast, this radio podcast, will be available a couple of hours after the broadcast.
01:19:23.000
We'll cut it up, and you'll see it in your social media feeds, hopefully.
01:19:31.340
Blaze TV has made this free for 24 hours, so you can get all of the information there.
01:19:40.440
It's free up until 9 p.m. tonight on Blaze TV or on X.
01:19:45.340
So make sure you get it and share it with as many people as you can.
01:20:01.280
I will say this one is a very wealthy, formerly very powerful person avoiding legal consequences.
01:20:11.780
Harvey Weinstein, his 2020 rape conviction was overturned today.
01:20:20.720
A shocking reversal of a landmark case that helped launch the Me Too movement.
01:20:25.580
The court ordered a retrial ruling that the judge in Weinstein's original trial improperly allowed testimony about allegations that weren't part of the case.
01:20:36.500
Wait, what about the part of the case where the plant?
01:20:40.440
The fern, which now has a very large family of ferns, I've heard.
01:20:57.680
So he will remain in prison, however, because of his 2022 California rape conviction.
01:21:03.280
So, I mean, he's not going to be, you shouldn't see him down the street at your local florist.
01:21:10.240
I'd like to talk to you about that hot fern in the window there.
01:21:20.220
And now both Cosby and Weinstein, I mean, the Me Too movement really worked out.
01:21:30.340
But the two main guys that were part of that now at least had some of their convictions overturned.
01:21:40.280
We have an update on the horses in London that were covered in blood that were running loose on the streets coming up for you.
01:21:51.800
Just big, huge horses running down the streets, covered in blood in London.
01:22:27.620
Welcome to the fusion of entertainment and enlightenment.
01:23:08.880
First, having dogs just makes everything better, I think, at least.
01:23:14.680
I'm sitting there talking to my wife last night, and he just comes up and he just puts his big, huge, cinderblock face, you know, just in my lap.
01:23:38.000
We just brought him to the vet, and she said no signs of arthritis yet, which is crazy in a dog his age.
01:23:44.040
And, she said, his heart and his kidney, everything is running like he's a puppy.
01:23:49.180
And I think part of that is because of what we put on his food, rough greens.
01:23:56.340
It has everything that's good for your dog, including the probiotics.
01:24:03.160
Folks at Rough Greens, so confident your dog is going to love it.
01:24:19.100
Rabbi Yitzhak Alderstein is with us now from the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
01:24:37.160
You know, we say in Israel, kumo kolonum, like everybody else.
01:24:41.680
It says a lot, means that we're going through some hard times, but we're still remarkably united.
01:24:49.320
There are some signs of things fracturing a little, but it's a minority of the country.
01:25:03.400
I was one of the overly naive people who actually believed that the reports from the media when they first came in, they've launched, they're on their way, but they're only going to hit two places in the country.
01:25:16.460
So unless you're at an Air Force base in the Negev or sitting on the Golan, hey, it should be okay.
01:25:24.100
There weren't too many people who went to sleep.
01:25:30.500
And my wife's saying, we've got to get downstairs to the bomb shelter.
01:25:44.780
I figured I'd rather die with my boots on figuratively in most of the country, not figuratively, and die with pride as a Jew in God's land than cower in Brooklyn.
01:26:11.440
Hey, this is kind of like, you know, anticlimactic.
01:26:18.320
And then, you know, just like figured we'd look outside and went outside.
01:26:22.780
We have a beautiful view from our porch in Jerusalem and treated to a light show like it was 4th of July.
01:26:38.020
It was, it felt at least to me like just divine protection, the hand of God just putting a dome over Israel.
01:26:49.920
How else do you get a 99% rate of taking those things down?
01:26:56.380
Look, anybody who plays video games knows that you don't always get those incoming.
01:27:07.060
And then a few days later, after we sustain almost no damage at all with one injury in a Bedouin village, a couple of days later, we finally respond to Iran.
01:27:18.060
And don't lob anything like those numbers there.
01:27:23.660
And they hit the munitions factory right next door to a nuclear installation and blow it up.
01:27:30.420
I got to tell you that what was done in Syria, you're in a town in Syria and there are buildings right next to buildings.
01:27:40.060
And you hit with a missile, one, and that collapsed and seemingly no damage anywhere else.
01:27:46.820
It's incredible how accurate things are happening with Israel.
01:27:52.320
And those who are believers don't attribute that to the might of the IDF.
01:27:58.580
Very, very, very grateful to the IDF, especially to the soldiers.
01:28:02.460
But they, you know, they got October 7th wrong and there have been lots of friendly fire casualties because human error is always involved and there wasn't here.
01:28:12.800
To those who are believers, this was as close to a Cecil B. DeMille moment as we were going to get in our lifetime.
01:28:20.180
Forgive me for not knowing the eschology of Jews, but there's many Christians who believe we're living in the times for the return of the Messiah.
01:28:39.620
I know Iran believes that they're looking for the return of the promised one, the 12th imam, which gives them a real bloodthirst at this point.
01:28:49.100
What do people in Israel feel about the Messiah?
01:28:55.120
Look, we've been waiting for a couple of thousand years and we pray every day and we don't hope for the Messiah to come.
01:29:12.480
Whether we're living in those times, there are hints of it.
01:29:19.580
I'm a little bit on the conservative side, so I try not to set ourselves up for disappointment.
01:29:26.380
But there's one thing in the Talmud that strikes me.
01:29:31.620
The Talmud says that one of the indications that you're on the verge or in the footsteps of the Messiah is that the generation of it is there are no fence sitters.
01:29:44.040
You're either on one side or you're on the other.
01:29:48.720
So we really got there on October 8th when you have half of the people in the world, I hope it's half the people in the world, or still hundreds of millions who said, this is moral depravity.
01:30:00.300
If this can't be called not only evil, but barbaric and demonic, then nothing is.
01:30:09.320
And other people are saying, well, really, nothing is.
01:30:18.300
So the world, not just a small corner of it, and not just America, but the world has divided itself up into people who have room to understand morality.
01:30:30.300
And those who have rejected it and see everything is relative.
01:30:32.840
Do you see in the rest of the world, and I don't even want to know the answer to this, hopefully you see a difference in Christians.
01:30:47.360
The Jews see a difference in Christians this time around from the last time.
01:30:56.600
When you go over to Europe, are you seeing Christians and others, surprisingly, maybe, standing up?
01:31:05.640
I'm surprised at the hesitation in your asking that question.
01:31:11.680
We're conscious in Israel that the only reliable allies we have on the face of the earth are Christians, are serious Bible-believing Christians, to be more specific.
01:31:33.280
He's on the faculty of a rabbinical school in Berlin.
01:31:37.640
He lives across the street from the synagogue and community center and school where his kids go.
01:31:47.180
So ever since the time that it was firebombed, a group of people, mostly Christian, mostly Christian, believe in Christian, come every Friday night to stand guard as a vigil for the people.
01:32:06.700
They're not bused in from other parts of Berlin.
01:32:17.800
You know, I'm shocked because when I go over to Israel, and I'll talk to Palestinians.
01:32:25.980
But when I talk to Palestinians who are living in Israel, if the cameras are off, they will always say,
01:32:34.380
I would much rather I have a much better time in Israel than over in Gaza.
01:32:45.840
But once the camera is on, you don't hear that very often.
01:32:52.980
Now, in Gaza, the ones who have been raised on this poison, I mean.
01:32:59.360
It's sort of like students in America who have been raised on a different kind of poison.
01:33:12.760
You can't put 80% of a fire out and then go, we're just going to take a break.
01:33:21.980
You can't have anything other than, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.
01:33:25.860
And then you still have to go through the community and find those that were leaders of it and Nuremberg.
01:33:35.020
Please tell me that Israel is committed to, no matter what the world says, finishing this job.
01:33:46.460
The majority of the country is committed to that very, very strongly.
01:33:51.860
There definitely is a minority that's wavering.
01:34:04.700
And some of the old-time leftists and some of the old brass of the army,
01:34:12.520
which is very reluctantly giving up control to a younger generation,
01:34:17.640
which is much more committed, much more focused.
01:34:28.480
It would be so frustrating to have the bombs actually raining down.
01:34:32.960
And what happened on October 7th, and then sit next to somebody who's like,
01:35:00.700
Jews in Israel are enormously buoyed up by shows of support from the rest of the world.
01:35:08.900
On the one hand, we're prepared to go it alone.
01:35:11.620
What we've done, what the events of the last months preceded by a couple of decades have done
01:35:20.240
is to produce a Gen Z in Israel, which is the polar opposite of what we have here in the United States.
01:35:29.260
We're talking about kids who are when they're 18, 19, learn to live together,
01:35:36.800
to cooperate in the Army, learn that they have a national mission,
01:35:46.680
and now they've had a practicum in what it means to translate that into reality
01:35:56.020
So we're prepared, and we have the strength to go at it.
01:36:00.080
Whatever God decides is the outcome, we'll live with it or die with it.
01:36:06.800
But it is so comforting to know that it's not the entire world that has turned against us,
01:36:18.100
almost exclusively people who believe in Abrahamic monotheism.
01:36:26.140
Do you have a theory on why this keeps happening?
01:36:30.900
People have been coming up with theories about anti-Semitism for thousands of years.
01:36:42.140
The only theories that resonate with me is that Jews stand for something that consciously or subconsciously
01:36:54.820
much of the world resists, which is a connection between man and God,
01:37:01.200
a people committed to a mission of making God's will something real.
01:37:07.280
Even Jews who are not observant still stand for that biblical message,
01:37:11.940
and that message is more than a lot of people can take.
01:37:19.900
He said that there are two things that we can never forgive the Jews for,
01:37:33.400
I want to pursue this with you for a second, but let me take a quick break,
01:37:39.540
tell you about realestateagentsitrust.com, then back with Rabbi here in 60 seconds.
01:38:00.920
You know, it's funny, as trust is going further and further away in our society,
01:38:13.000
Less in people, maybe that's what we're supposed to learn in this.
01:38:21.780
Realestateagentsitrust.com, the name is something that I selected.
01:38:26.040
And we will pair you up with somebody who we've done a boatload of research on to make
01:38:32.780
sure that they have the best practices, they're honest in their business dealings,
01:38:36.940
and they have really good customer reviews and a good track record.
01:38:44.360
If you're going to buy or sell a house, you just tell us where.
01:38:46.640
It could be you're moving across the street or across the country.
01:38:49.360
We can help find that right real estate agent for you.
01:38:52.860
Just go to realestateagentsitrust.com and just tell us what you need.
01:39:02.020
You know, when we saw last week, we had the consulate brief us on some of the things.
01:39:21.460
It is, it's literally like watching Schindler's List, except, you know, it's happening right now.
01:39:39.480
It was, it's one of the most disturbing things because of the, the joy in most of it is, you
01:39:48.800
So the joy, the fact that they, at one point, they would call into their, you know, commander
01:39:57.680
from Hamas and say, we killed them, we killed them, we killed them all.
01:40:01.300
You know, al-Akbar, God is great, as they're saying, we killed them all.
01:40:05.600
And the Hamas commander would say, drag their bodies into the streets, bring them back,
01:40:14.640
or cut off their heads and bring their heads and play with them.
01:40:29.020
But then to go up the next level and say, play with the bodies and, quote, get others to play
01:40:39.900
It shows the evil that is just a black hole that is, if you're not directly involved,
01:40:49.020
And just, just learn, Jews are not even people.
01:41:02.260
Um, and as I watched this, it just struck me as old ancient, ancient evil.
01:41:08.520
And, you know, I, I, there's been nine, what, 19 holocausts, and you'll see that they just
01:41:18.140
Um, and the last time we had a holocaust, it jumped from Germany at the last minute and
01:41:24.880
it jumped to Jerusalem and to, uh, you know, um, uh, Iran.
01:41:34.260
And it's, it's almost as if evil is just saying, oh, well, I can beat God because all I have
01:41:42.300
to do is kill this small little group of people and it keeps losing, but learning.
01:41:48.320
But when you see it, you can watch it from 700 in Persia to today in New York city.
01:42:07.060
I'm not going to, not going to disagree with that.
01:42:14.720
You read, you read the Bible and you read two separate sections just in the, in the Pentateuch
01:42:20.600
about the, the horrors that, that happened when you lose God's protection.
01:42:27.360
And we're, uh, we're sitting in a place now where I feel we're losing God's protection.
01:42:33.460
How many of these protesters on these campuses do you think are actually engaged with their
01:42:42.360
They, you know, interview after interview, they can't name river to the sea.
01:42:50.680
And it's, it's, it become just people repeating slogans that they've been brought up with.
01:42:57.060
Now we know from elementary school and so much of it is the, the, the woke progressivism
01:43:03.020
that, that tends to, you know, people think that, that believers are the ones who cut up
01:43:10.480
the world into the good guys and the bad guys, but, and what's happened in America today?
01:43:15.560
I know you have the oppressors and, uh, in, and the intersectionality of all of those oppressors.
01:43:23.980
And then you have, and then you have the oppressed.
01:43:39.080
You know, there are pop stars out there who are donating the proceeds from their concerts
01:43:46.160
Actually, rabbi, if you don't mind staying a bit more, there's something else I want to
01:43:51.780
So we'll talk about this after the commercial, um, concerts being held now where they're donating
01:43:59.800
I mean, we are just losing our soul and it is a struggle between life and death, dark and
01:44:09.280
And it's pretty easy to see if your eyes are open, everything that enters your mind.
01:44:15.140
When you hear the words planned parenthood, pre-born is the opposite of that.
01:44:25.740
So your money is going to save the moms, not just the babies, which are important, but
01:44:33.100
60% of them don't want to do it, but they feel alone.
01:44:36.380
They don't have any way to take care of the child.
01:44:39.140
This is the way that we stand up and say, we care about all of the parties involved about
01:44:47.620
It's pound two 50 keyword baby to donate preborn.com slash Beck and head over to blaze
01:45:21.500
With everything that is happening in the colleges, the anti-Semitism, the true, I mean, it's, you
01:45:33.980
Well, I don't know if that is anti-Semitism or anti-Zionism.
01:45:37.540
You know, when you're calling for the death of Jews and the destruction of all of the Jews
01:45:42.420
in Israel, I think it's a little stronger than anti-Semitism.
01:45:49.580
Um, but yesterday, I don't understand the Jews, Rabbi, that are, um, are standing with
01:45:57.400
and supporting, um, you know, usually it's all left-wing, uh, Jews, uh, and there was
01:46:05.860
First of all, explain what a Seder is and what happened on campus.
01:46:10.220
Seder is probably the single most observed Jewish practice of, of the religion.
01:46:16.440
Religious Jews, non-religious Jews, almost everybody gets together.
01:46:19.580
It's where you get together with your family and friends and you recount the events of the
01:46:26.240
liberation from, from, from Egypt and their ritual foods that are, that are consumed.
01:46:32.100
It's a several, several, uh, hour affair and you want to get an idea, don't go to Woody Allen.
01:46:40.440
But, but I would say that the Jews who participated in this Seder probably only experienced Woody Allen type
01:46:52.140
So that is a Christmas that only is about Santa.
01:46:57.660
Um, is, again, I'm trying to, I try to understand these people, you know, it's like the gay and
01:47:10.120
You know, go bring your flag over to Gaza and see how long you last.
01:47:14.740
Um, you know, go over to Gaza, if you're a Jew and have a Seder there in Gaza, it's not
01:47:24.720
They miss it in the, this, the same way it happens in the Christian world.
01:47:28.740
You know, as, as interfaith director, I've gone to denominational conventions over the
01:47:34.340
Remember one I'm not going to mention, it's one of the mainstream liberal denominations
01:47:38.600
where God was mentioned at the opening moments of the first day, the last moments of the
01:47:46.200
last day, and there was nothing of the five days in between.
01:47:50.040
Nobody mentioned God, but God and his message have been replaced by selective culling of a
01:47:59.640
Uh, the mix shall inherit the earth becomes oppressing, oppression is bad and being oppressed
01:48:08.200
So how the Jews became the oppressor and not the oppressed is amazing.
01:48:15.540
51% of Israel would not be considered white by the same criteria that people use in America
01:48:23.840
And yet somehow it's a white country because we're oppressed, so we must be white.
01:48:28.060
You know, it's that dichotomy itself, which is the scariest thing that you have a whole
01:48:32.980
generation of young people who are taught to think not in terms of good and evil, but
01:48:41.600
Where rape is a legitimate tool of, of war against an oppressor.
01:48:47.480
Because there, there is no other moral code because God's out of the picture.
01:48:56.040
And that is actually, there's a rape slogan that they chant, isn't there?
01:49:07.100
Um, one of the things that has become very apparent to me is, and it's almost in everything.
01:49:15.740
The, the line between, you know, you said there won't be any bystanders, you'll be on one side
01:49:22.540
And that is really defined, I think, by life and death.
01:49:27.760
There is the culture of, I care about the Gazans.
01:49:34.460
I, I, I don't want anybody who's innocent to be killed.
01:49:38.920
And I want to give everybody the chance to come back into the fold, but I'm very, very
01:49:44.200
clear on the bad guys where we would not ever go in and just murder babies and set them
01:49:54.840
And that's goes beyond what the Palestinians are talking about.
01:49:58.640
This goes to the cult of shout your abortion and, you know, euthanasia and starting to kill
01:50:05.920
the handicapped again and the, uh, you know, up in Canada, you have a mental illness.
01:50:19.380
That's where I get for this feeling that again, it's just this ancient old Testament kind of
01:50:30.540
And I'll, I'll channel a good friend of mine by name of Glenn Beck, who we were talking
01:50:35.700
before, pointed to the biblical verse, choose life.
01:50:44.040
If you give up on everything, then there, there's room for just doing anything that you
01:50:51.800
want or pursuing any slogan or any empty, any, any empty program to choose life means
01:51:01.680
You have to decide what's worthwhile, whether there's purpose, what the purpose is.
01:51:12.280
And they certainly, if they do deal with it, they want to do it on their own terms without
01:51:16.340
thinking of somebody above who's going to hold them accountable for it.
01:51:19.580
So choosing life takes a lot of work, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of moxie, courage, internal
01:51:31.500
We're, we're into superficiality and creating your own world on, on your little hand held.
01:51:38.080
So to choose life is an act of courage and an act that requires insight and, and, and, and,
01:51:47.160
and, and judicious thinking, which, which is, which is more than a lot of people can handle.
01:51:52.360
And that is, that's really what the Jewish people along with the, you know, the Torah,
01:51:56.860
that's what the Jewish people really pioneered was choose life, be a society of life, not
01:52:09.720
And not meaninglessness in any, in any, in anything.
01:52:15.240
And I think that that remains one of the contributions to, to anti-Semitism, the fact that consciously
01:52:22.060
or subconsciously people are not so happy with that idea.
01:52:26.400
We should talk about on Hulu called Shogun and it's Japanese and it is unbelievable, but
01:52:32.880
the Japanese, the old, you know, 1500s Japanese was all about honor and death and death.
01:52:41.660
I mean, it's, it, it's really, it's bizarre to watch something that is so not Western history,
01:52:58.100
And now to stop the line and to stop disgrace, I have to kill myself too.
01:53:07.380
And the turning point on all of that really happened with the, with the bringing on of
01:53:12.700
the, of the Torah and God speaking and saying, choose life.
01:53:16.600
And making every individual life count rather than just the collective.
01:53:21.620
The, um, uh, the one thing that I've heard people say, um, and usually it's people who
01:53:30.900
They're just not religiously schooled or believe in anything.
01:53:34.760
And they'll say, uh, you know, we got to stand by the, you know, we have to stand by the Jews
01:53:47.320
Can you make a case to stand with the Jew that doesn't, it isn't because God said so?
01:53:56.780
Well, usually when God tells you to do things, he has a good reason for it.
01:54:00.220
So all we have to do is uncover some of the, some of the reasons.
01:54:03.520
And a lot of it has to do with what you've been, what you've been talking about.
01:54:09.020
There are people who would say, look, we have lots of problems in the United States and lots
01:54:13.280
of areas where we could be devoting our attention and our money.
01:54:16.220
And why do we have to spend so much money on foreign aid?
01:54:19.260
And there are isolationists just as they were before World War II.
01:54:22.920
And then we discovered, we woke up one day and we said, you know, isolationism is just
01:54:26.660
not going to work because when you, when you're dealing with really committed evil,
01:54:33.460
whether you believe in a biblical evil or not, there is evil out there and they're going
01:54:37.680
to engulf us unless we put up some kind of resistance.
01:54:41.160
United States spends billions and billions and billions of dollars, not because we're
01:54:46.040
just nice guys out there or because we're colonial oppressors.
01:54:50.140
We do it out of, we do it out of self-protection because the world can be a scary place.
01:54:55.780
But we've also made, we've also made in the last hundred years, some stupid decisions where
01:55:01.640
we are sending money to places that want to kill us.
01:55:05.060
I mean, we're sending it to Iran, but we also sent it.
01:55:08.200
And I think the American people thought we're trying to do good, but the American government
01:55:18.500
And we, we have to be judicious about that and not just write out blank checks, but to
01:55:24.400
think that we can live in our little bubble here in the United States, oblivious from forces
01:55:30.620
around the world that would consciously or less consciously like to replace us with a caliphate
01:55:38.180
or with just economic parity and equality for everything and just destroy our, our economic
01:55:47.640
To do that, you have to invest in other places.
01:55:50.580
Now, I think the investment in Israel was certainly not the only place.
01:55:53.820
Egypt gets about the same amount every year and we're getting a lot less out of Egypt,
01:55:58.140
although Egypt has been pretty good in this conflict.
01:56:00.060
But to think that without Israel and without Egypt and without Jordan, the Iranians wouldn't
01:56:11.000
The Saudis, you know, because the United States has been so weak, have been judiciously
01:56:17.540
in trying to rework a Middle East reality, including Israel.
01:56:23.940
If you don't believe, don't live in a vacuum, then look to the places that are giving you some
01:56:37.020
It's the only place that is, that is actually helping Israel in intelligence, help, helping
01:56:43.620
America rather in intelligence, helping America develop its weapons, which we do need in a scary
01:56:50.920
And if, if you recognize that there are evil players, there are malign players in the world,
01:56:59.080
you can't just say, well, we're not going to be like that and be that naive.
01:57:03.420
You have to be able to build up a kind of a, kind of a wall.
01:57:07.840
And that means, if that means having allies who are reliable, Israel has been that and will
01:57:14.160
It is amazing too, that everywhere else we've fought in the Middle East, we're fighting
01:57:19.880
And you're kind of like, guys, you got to stand up at some point, stand up for yourself.
01:57:25.200
First of all, nobody's talking about sending troops over to Israel.
01:57:34.660
They're standing up for democracy where we haven't seen that really in mass in any other
01:57:43.040
It is, it is like-minded and you're standing up for yourself, which I, you know.
01:57:49.700
And where would America be if Israel had not taken out the Iraqi nuclear reactor?
01:58:05.960
I don't want to force you into a political thing, but for Israel and for good and evil.
01:58:17.260
Again, we're determined to survive and work with whoever is there.
01:58:22.240
We have tremendous respect for and thanks and gratitude for Joe Biden for the decisions he made early after October 7th and for sending troops and for standing with us in the Security Council.
01:58:36.700
But we're also horribly aware of how vulnerable he is, how easy it is to bend his ear to the progressive wing in the Democratic Party, which is very, very scary.
01:58:51.200
We can't rely on the Democratic Party as a whole anymore like we did for years.
01:58:57.440
You know, on paper, the opening months of the Trump presidency would probably be a little less scary for us.
01:59:15.160
And I'm sure a lot of Israeli foreign policy is kind of waiting to see what happens in November.
01:59:27.720

02:00:11.620
My family and I have always been pleased with the results.
02:00:14.560

02:00:16.980
Going through together and saying, oh, Mom, remember this, remember that, and going through the family albums or, God forbid, the boxes that are, God forbid, sitting in your attic or in your garage.

So yesterday, we had horses covered in blood running down the streets of London, and we had no idea why you're watching.
02:01:26.960
Look at that white horse just covered in blood.
02:01:32.840
I guess they bring these horses out into public to get them used to the public.
02:01:40.420
So what happened was they went by a construction site, and something dropped, made a loud noise.
02:01:51.760
I don't want to know why it's covered in blood.
02:01:57.200
Did somebody have too much blood, and they popped?
02:02:01.840
I think the theory, leading theory, is that one of these interactions they had caused the horse to be cut, so it was bleed.
02:02:09.120
It's his own blood that was coming down all over it.
