00:00:00.580 Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at New East.
00:00:11.860 Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show.
00:00:15.160 Some weeks in the media business are really fun to bring to you, and some are not.
00:00:22.900 Weeks like this one are important, but they're challenging.
00:00:25.600 They're hard to report on because the brutality of what the truth is, is almost unbearable.
00:00:31.100 This really is one of those weeks.
00:00:33.460 What's happening in Israel and in our own country, too, has been eye-opening and horrific.
00:00:39.240 We are staring evil in the face.
00:00:42.420 The evil actions of the terror organization Hamas and the evil behavior and thoughts of some right here in America
00:00:50.180 that clearly have been simmering just below the surface.
00:00:55.880 I mean, you know how the leftists have been saying, like the BLM crowd,
00:01:00.900 they've been saying they're racists everywhere.
00:01:03.520 They're everywhere.
00:01:04.360 And we keep saying, like, where?
00:01:06.720 Where?
00:01:07.140 You've kind of run out of examples.
00:01:09.420 Yes, you can find one here, one there.
00:01:11.020 It's not like it's been eradicated.
00:01:12.160 But there are not racists everywhere, as the BLM crowd claims.
00:01:17.180 Well, there are anti-Semites everywhere.
00:01:20.060 They're everywhere.
00:01:21.740 Remember the shock you felt when Kanye started to come out with his weird tweets,
00:01:26.360 you know, about the Jews and how evil the Jews were?
00:01:30.200 There, it's so much worse than Kanye.
00:01:33.680 These people are in another league.
00:01:36.400 I haven't seen Kanye celebrating the murder of Jewish children torn literally from their mother's wombs.
00:01:46.360 That's what we're seeing amongst university professors, not to mention students.
00:01:53.600 Some Democrat politicians, groups like the Democrat Socialists of America,
00:01:59.160 to which members of the so-called squad belong.
00:02:03.040 And one of the interesting things that we've been seeing is the veil start to come down.
00:02:07.320 The veil is starting to come down.
00:02:09.560 I'll give you one example.
00:02:10.840 We've talked about this California state senator, Scott Wiener.
00:02:13.860 He's the lunatic who wants to trans all of your children.
00:02:16.220 I mean, literally, like, he wants to trans your child.
00:02:19.580 He's obviously Jewish.
00:02:21.280 And he's starting to realize what all of his little buddies that he's been supporting
00:02:25.200 and working with in woke ideology for the past X years
00:02:28.620 are actually harboring in their hearts when it comes to Jews.
00:02:33.980 The one group.
00:02:34.720 We've seen this at the beginning of the wokeness, right?
00:02:37.980 How many Jewish Americans, not the most liberal, but many Jewish Americans were like,
00:02:43.760 whoa, what?
00:02:44.660 Wait, what are we doing?
00:02:45.900 Right?
00:02:46.100 What are we doing?
00:02:46.860 Because the wokest of the woke.
00:02:49.520 They didn't count the Jews.
00:02:51.200 It was like, nah, you're not in our cabal.
00:02:53.060 Nah, you don't count.
00:02:53.840 Even though you're a minority and you've been historically persecuted more than any other group.
00:02:57.680 Yeah, you're not in our club.
00:02:58.920 Kind of want blacks and we want Hispanics.
00:03:01.420 We definitely don't want Asians and we don't want Jews.
00:03:03.900 I mean, this is what's been happening as we've been watching sort of the woke ideology unfold
00:03:07.880 in America.
00:03:09.040 And now it seems like those last Jewish left wing Americans who have been left over,
00:03:17.440 believing in these wokesters and the BLMers like, no, no, their hearts are in the right
00:03:21.840 place.
00:03:22.360 The veil is coming down.
00:03:24.020 You're surrounded by anti-Semites.
00:03:26.100 They hate you.
00:03:29.000 They're just as bad as some of these people in the Middle East who would like to see Israel
00:03:33.700 eradicated.
00:03:34.980 They see you as the villain, even when your babies have just been murdered by terrorists.
00:03:40.360 You're to blame.
00:03:41.700 It's unbelievable.
00:03:44.080 All right, so we're going to get into all of that.
00:03:45.920 There's also political news today.
00:03:47.480 Today, we should know who the Speaker of the House will be, the new one, by this weekend.
00:03:54.300 And then there's Vice President Kamala Harris, who's out there in the midst of all this terror,
00:03:58.100 going back to her stupid ass Venn diagram comments.
00:04:01.300 I mean, she can't like.
00:04:03.860 OK, we begin, of course, with the biggest story in the world, and that is what's happening
00:04:08.560 in Israel.
00:04:09.080 And joining me now for the full show, my pals from the Ruthless program.
00:04:13.380 Today, we have Comfortably Smug, Michael Duncan and John Ashbrook.
00:04:18.260 Guys, thanks so much for being here.
00:04:20.460 So what do you make of my initial pitch on this, right?
00:04:23.940 It's like there's finally like the veil coming down from our Jewish friends who were leftists,
00:04:30.260 who kept giving the BLMs of the world the benefit of the doubt.
00:04:34.040 And now they're realizing, holy shit, these people, they don't think I have a right to exist.
00:04:40.440 Like they've been lecturing the world on dehumanizing behaviors for the past X years.
00:04:45.580 And now they look at me and they're celebrating when people just like me are subject to mass
00:04:50.820 murder in the Middle East.
00:04:52.880 Smug, what do you make of it?
00:04:54.640 Yeah, I mean, it has been incredible to see a lot of, you know, left wing Jewish people come
00:04:59.220 to the realization you just described is that this whole woke movement that they've been
00:05:03.720 a part of and thought makes them part of, you know, the cool group of of of woke people
00:05:09.020 actually completely hates them and sees them as being colonists and that murdering children
00:05:15.300 and women and innocent civilians is part of the decolonization process.
00:05:19.440 And it's horrific seeing how much of the left completely agrees with that ideology of,
00:05:24.660 yes, you know, terrorism is actually a very viable way for these people to express their
00:05:29.380 views.
00:05:30.500 And so when you see these college campuses like Harvard, where you have 37 student
00:05:34.020 organizations signing on, giving their support to these attacks, it's eye awake, you know,
00:05:39.460 it's eye opening for a lot of folks.
00:05:41.040 But they've been part of that for so long that they should have known better from the beginning
00:05:46.260 when in 2020, we had a summer where burning down buildings, riots, attacking police, attacking
00:05:52.340 police stations, attacking courthouses was completely acceptable that, oh, you know, the riots,
00:05:56.640 the voice of the unheard at that time. And so they've kept pushing it and pushing it and pushing
00:06:00.960 it from violence is acceptable. Rioting is acceptable. Theft is now completely acceptable,
00:06:06.000 essentially just tearing down society. And so when they've gone to this one last step that,
00:06:10.520 well, murder is completely acceptable. That's where we are now.
00:06:13.860 These radicals, I like to say, are sort of like in Jurassic Park, the velociraptors testing the electric
00:06:19.840 fence and the rhetoric gets more heated over time. And they're trying to see what they can get away
00:06:23.800 with, right? At the surface, it's decolonization. At the surface, it's land acknowledgements. But
00:06:30.040 you scratch below the surface and right there, right below the surface is full on anti-Semitism,
00:06:35.940 right? When they talk about settler colonialism, right? And this goes back even long before the
00:06:41.500 woke movement and the BLM riots in 2020. You know, we're talking about on our show on Ruthless today,
00:06:47.620 Jeremiah Wright. Chickens are coming home to roost. America deserved 9-11. This has existed in this
00:06:53.980 country for a very long time. And I'm really the one silver lining of all this horrible, horrible
00:07:00.220 tragedy is like you said, Megan, at the top, the mask has fallen and Americans, their eyes are now
00:07:05.680 opening to what these radicals really, truly believe. And they believe in murder and terrorism.
00:07:11.200 And it's showing its ugly face all over the world in ways that people might not think about on a
00:07:16.220 day-to-day basis. I read a story about how Jewish kids in England and in Germany are being encouraged
00:07:22.740 by their school districts to cover up their yarmulkes with baseball caps or something else
00:07:26.780 because they have so many migrants in their country who hate Jewish people that they have to,
00:07:34.420 they're basically living in fear. And it's disgusting. And it really, really,
00:07:40.520 I don't think anybody really, you know, maybe some people did know that the depth and the breadth of
00:07:50.240 the depravity of this, of, you know, Hamas has always been there. They've always been bad. They've
00:07:55.580 always been like threatening Jewish people, but this really snaps you to attention. And I mean,
00:08:02.880 you saw the images over the weekend, Megan, some of the most disgusting, reviling things that you
00:08:10.680 could ever see on the internet. And like a lot of people, I really struggled with, do I share this
00:08:15.840 on my Twitter account? Do I retweet these horribly graphic images? And at first I was thinking, no,
00:08:21.420 I'm not, I don't want to do that. This is, this is terrible. This is somebody's family member.
00:08:24.960 But then the more you, the more you thought about, the more you heard from people who are in Israel,
00:08:30.060 the more people were saying, don't look away. This is what hatred does to people who are innocent
00:08:37.340 and people who are just living a very, very pleasant life. And they hate Jewish people
00:08:44.480 from the bottom of their heart. And it's time we recognize that. And it's time that,
00:08:48.920 that it's time for Israel to respond. And it, and of course they're doing that.
00:08:53.600 Um, Ashbrook, to your point, JK Rowling tweeted this out today from a British newspaper,
00:08:57.380 somebody writing in on advice from her school. Our teenage daughter has gone off without her
00:09:02.760 blazer this morning. Her male classmates have been advised to cover their skull caps with baseball
00:09:07.740 caps on her preschool Dawn run yesterday. She ran past the broken glass of a kosher cafe's windows
00:09:13.400 and a fresh anti-Israel slogan painted on a bridge. All my grandparents were Holocaust survivors who found
00:09:19.480 safe Haven and built new lives in the UK. So of course I am twitching with latent anxiety
00:09:24.960 and the creeping dangers, uh, of the masses, not speaking out against terrorism. Think of it.
00:09:33.500 And here, here in, um, in New York and across the States, we're worried about tomorrow where the head
00:09:40.160 of Hamas has called for this national day of rage. And you, you know, New York has got a very large
00:09:45.640 Jewish population and you know, people are going to be going to synagogue. They're going to be going to
00:09:50.200 the JCC. They're going to be going to various Jewish centers, having to worry about whether
00:09:54.840 they're going to get blown up because of their religion. And because our country hasn't sent a
00:10:00.360 clear enough signal from every corner that this will not be tolerated here.
00:10:06.840 Megan, it is, it is stunning and it's very disgusting. I'll tell you that the spread is,
00:10:13.320 is far and wide. I was talking to my wife last night. She has friends who teach at local
00:10:18.120 Christian schools in our area and multiple schools have received threats about Friday.
00:10:23.720 And sometimes you don't know what the threat is. Is it a kid trying, you know, being stupid,
00:10:27.480 but they're taking these threats very seriously. They've called the FBI. They're walking through
00:10:32.920 all the proper channels because you don't know what these, you don't know what these monsters will
00:10:38.160 actually do. I mean, what we've seen in Israel is, is terrible, but what we're seeing in America
00:10:44.680 just in the last three or four days should really, really get everybody's attention.
00:10:50.520 Because if you listen to the chants in like the rally, you mentioned that the democratic socialists
00:10:56.200 of America, the rally that they planned, by the way, they planned on Saturday, the day that all
00:11:03.560 these children were murdered in their neighborhoods, in their homes, waking up Hamas is in there shooting
00:11:09.480 them, killing them, doing whatever horrible things that they've did to them. And they planned that
00:11:15.000 rally on Saturday to celebrate the killings, which is disgusting.
00:11:19.960 That's what was happening. Absolutely. The democratic socialists of America, that's,
00:11:23.400 that's AOC. She's part of that group. Like Bernie Sanders calls himself a democratic socialist. Like,
00:11:28.280 we could go down the list. And this guy, Scott Wiener, not that it's all about him, but just as an
00:11:33.560 example. So he is horrified seeing his group and the, the San Francisco chapter of the democratic
00:11:41.800 socialists of America come out and speak even in the wake, not that Saturday's violence wasn't
00:11:47.160 horrifying enough, but even in the wake of the news about the babies and the families being burned.
00:11:51.960 And this is what he writes. The DSA democratic socialists from America, San Francisco statement
00:11:56.840 is horrifying and even worse than the national DSA statement. It unqualifiedly endorses Hamas's
00:12:03.400 quote, resistance consisting of the massacre of 1200 Israelis, including kids and seniors and
00:12:08.680 hostage shaking. It uses this horrific moment to call for an end to Israel. And then he quotes several
00:12:14.120 tweets being put out right now by the DSA of San Francisco, including this one violent oppression
00:12:20.040 inevitably produces resistance. Socialists support the Palestinian peoples and all peoples right to resist
00:12:28.520 and fight for their own liberation. This weekend's events are no different. Decolonization is the only
00:12:36.520 path toward peace. My God, it's, it's stunning. And I just want to make one more quick point,
00:12:44.440 and I'm going to turn it over to my buddies here, but the, but if you listen to what they say,
00:12:48.760 they say decolonization, they're using all of these corporate words to cover up for what this actually
00:12:54.520 is, which is jihad. This is murder of Jews and anybody else who's not like them. If you listen
00:12:59.880 to the chants at these rallies, they chant intifada, intifada. They're not chanting two state solution.
00:13:05.000 Right. We talked about this on the show. They're not like looking for, for a common ground.
00:13:09.640 No, they've been offered that multiple times. They reject it. They want jihad. And we'll get to
00:13:15.080 what we have now on tape, the leader of Hamas saying exactly that. Go ahead, smoke.
00:13:19.400 Well, all these folks who act like they're so completely shocked by the DSA and BLM when they
00:13:28.360 were so happy to, you know, send out these hashtags BLM while there are riots happening in this country,
00:13:33.880 while police officers were killed, burned alive across this country, while people were celebrating
00:13:39.640 that even corporations were part of this BLM movement. There was an account on Twitter,
00:13:44.440 Western Lensman, who's been just pulling up all these receipts on the people who are involved
00:13:50.440 with the BLM movement, celebrating it. And he had a video from Patrice Colors, who was the founder of
00:13:57.160 BLM in 2015, saying Palestine is our generation in South Africa. If we don't step up boldly and
00:14:03.160 courageously to end the imperialist project called Israel, we're doomed. That's a direct call for the
00:14:08.520 district. Hold that thought. Hold that thought because we have that sound. Let me play it. Then you pick
00:14:12.600 it up on the back end. Palestine is our generation in South Africa. And if
00:14:23.080 if we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that's called Israel,
00:14:31.240 we're doomed. That's right there. And Israel. Yeah. When they say step up boldly, what they mean is
00:14:38.840 murdering, murdering toddlers at a kibbutz and gunning down people at a musical music festival
00:14:45.400 for peace. I mean, it's the justification of murder that's sort of just dressed up in the
00:14:50.280 language of woke ideology. But it is what it is. Bingo. It's these people, these people that just
00:14:55.720 there is no moral clarity to what they believe. And I think that's what's most frightening about this,
00:15:01.400 especially for us in the United States, is like, you know, we we live among people who are OK with
00:15:07.480 the murder of Jews. And I think it's tough for people to get their head wrapped around that. But
00:15:12.200 I mean, that's where we are today. Me too. It's tough for me to get my head wrapped around it. I
00:15:16.920 knew that there was anti-Semitism for sure. I mean, I've always grown up in the state of New York and then
00:15:21.480 most half my life in the city of New York. And they're just there's a very large Jewish population.
00:15:26.760 So you talk to your friends and you hear what they've gone through. And you there is a serious
00:15:30.700 faction that hates Jews. But honestly, I didn't realize like it was these same people were capable
00:15:38.840 of celebrating terrorism against Jewish children and babies and elderly and women. You know, I could
00:15:46.300 say, OK, they would back the Palestinians in a military conflict. Right. They they want Palestine
00:15:53.000 to have more than it has. OK, I like, OK, I'm still with them on a logical basis, how they feel.
00:15:59.680 I I did not foresee this level of academy support for mass murder, mass murder. That's what we're
00:16:10.440 seeing. All of these people should be fired every last one of them the same way as if they came out
00:16:17.120 and said, I'm pro ISIS, burning people in cages. You have insane, murderous lunatics working for
00:16:24.640 you. And honestly, it's like, yes, the people who who are coming out of Harvard in these student
00:16:29.060 groups. Yes, you're included. I want them all named and shamed. Yes. The professors who have come
00:16:33.880 out and the writers, including, by the way, guys, somebody at my own alma mater for my law school.
00:16:38.780 Her name is. Hold on. It's written so small. I can barely see it. No, Nina. Yeah. Nina Farina.
00:16:48.800 I think that's what it is, who she's on the Palestinian side, too. This is disgusting. When
00:16:53.980 I was at Albany Law School, we weren't ideological. We taught the law. We didn't have lunatics like
00:16:57.820 this. Who's clearly a BLM hire. If you look at her, her bio, trying to teach hate to people.
00:17:04.360 But she's been lurking there right under the surface, teaching, you know, the next generation of
00:17:08.320 lawyers, as have all these people who, you know, who've now come out in the past couple of days
00:17:12.800 in support of what we've seen. It's it's jarring, Duncan. It's jarring it. And these same students
00:17:18.900 will ask you to pay for their student loans. They'll ask you to pay for their student loans
00:17:24.020 on Friday and go to a kill the Jews rally on Saturday. I mean, these are people that fundamentally
00:17:30.320 they're neo-Marxist. These are people that are not just anti-Israel. They're anti-capitalism.
00:17:35.440 They're anti-America. They're anti-democracy. It's I mean, we got to call it what it is.
00:17:40.000 It's it's it's psychotic stuff. One thing I would I would like to tell a little story for
00:17:46.140 your listeners, Megan. I worked on Netanyahu's campaign in 2015 in Israel. There was a snap
00:17:51.060 election over there. And I lived in Tel Aviv for three months. And one of the kids on the digital
00:17:55.900 team for the campaign that I worked with was this kid named Nico. And he grew up in Paris
00:18:01.280 and his whole family French. And for Americans or people around the globe who don't know a lot
00:18:08.300 about Israel, you might be shocked that that there are Jews who actually leave, you know,
00:18:14.160 Western Europe or America and go live in Israel, especially with all the conflict and the murders
00:18:20.240 that we saw recently. But what Nico told me was that the anti-Semitism there is is creeping in the
00:18:26.960 same way that we're seeing now that he would go to his elementary school in Paris and kids would
00:18:32.780 draw swastikas on his desk, swastikas on his desk. And so when you are Jewish and you see it more and
00:18:42.020 it's pressing around you in a place like Paris or New York, where you've got people cheering on the
00:18:48.800 martyrs, the martyrs of Hamas. You can understand why if you were a Jew in the United States or a place
00:18:55.740 like Paris, that you would make Aliyah with your family and go live in Israel because you might
00:18:59.860 actually feel safer there. And that's crazy.
00:19:03.900 That is crazy. Yeah, I'm with you. I've had my dearest friend when I was growing up, one of them,
00:19:09.660 her sister moved to Israel right after she graduated from high school. This is in the 80s. And even back
00:19:15.240 then it was like, oh, it's dicey. It's a dicey choice, you know, because there was violence and they
00:19:19.740 were subjected to rocket attacks even then. And yet over the past couple of years, it's been
00:19:25.000 more peaceful or so they thought. And again, we'll get to what the leader of Hamas just said
00:19:30.440 in a taped interview, which I'll show you. I want to just spend one more second on this.
00:19:35.100 Nina Farnia, Farnia, Albany Law School professor. This is where I went to law school. Legal historian.
00:19:41.120 Sure, Nina. Sure. Scholar of critical race theory. That's a contradiction in terms. Focusing on the role
00:19:47.060 of modern imperialism in U.S. law and politics. I'm ashamed that my alma mater hired a woman on that.
00:19:55.000 Modern imperialism in U.S. law and politics. What the hell is she doing there? That's not a thing.
00:20:00.220 That is not a thing that you should be teaching in law school. She tweeted out in response to the
00:20:04.420 mass murders. Long live the Palestinian resistance and people of Gaza, tearing down the walls of
00:20:11.300 colonialism and apartheid. As the Biden administration builds more walls at U.S. borders, the people of the
00:20:17.880 world are rising up and tearing walls down. The Palestinians are a beacon for us all. A beacon.
00:20:26.860 Now, she's talking about Hamas. They are Palestinians. She's talking about Hamas. They're
00:20:31.140 a beacon for us. And now Jewish students, and there's a fair amount of Jewish population in
00:20:36.440 Albany, this I can speak to firsthand, have to walk into this damn class and sit in front of this racist
00:20:42.520 bigot and listen to her talk to them about colonialism and imperialism. How would you feel
00:20:48.080 if you're a Jewish student listening to this? She has to be fired today, today, fired. And so does this
00:20:55.560 Yale professor who's the worst of them all. You guys saw this woman in Yale, Zarina Grewal, who tweeted
00:21:02.180 out, settlers are not civilians. This is not hard. In response to the argument that they're killing
00:21:08.280 civilians, you're not a civilian if you're a settler, meaning if you basically live in Israel,
00:21:14.240 you're fair game. This woman, too. And by the way, she doubled down when this became a national
00:21:19.880 firestorm, which she tweeted on October 10th. She doubled down and said, no government on earth is
00:21:25.000 as genocidal as this settler colonial state. Evidence for it. And then she said, oh, wait, no,
00:21:31.580 she goes, sigh the playbook. This is about the dead, decapitated babies. They make up a lie.
00:21:38.060 There's no evidence for it. Western journalists spread it like wildfire. Diplomats and politicians
00:21:43.620 parrot it loudly. A narrative is built. The general public believes that the damage is done.
00:21:48.260 And then they finally admit it never happened. So far, there are 30,000 signatures to get this
00:21:56.660 woman, Zarina Grewal, fired. She needs to go today, Yale, today. Not another moment. So can we talk
00:22:04.120 about, forgive me, but this story of the murdered babies, because you guys have seen what I've seen,
00:22:10.100 right? These left wingers, not, I don't even know what they are. They're, they're, they're anti-Semite
00:22:14.960 left wingers. Cause I don't, I have a lot of left wing friends that they're not like this. Um,
00:22:20.900 making a big thing out of whether babies were beheaded. And if so, just how many, what's the
00:22:27.300 number? There's this guy at the LA times. Um, hold on. I just had it up. I had it on my Twitter
00:22:33.580 feed. Um, he's at the LA times. Give me one second and I'll find it. Here he is. Adam L Marek,
00:22:41.040 L Marek, who go back and look. I encourage the listeners go back and look at him. It's
00:22:45.120 at Adam E L M A H R E K. Excuse me. Look at his X feed over the last few days. He hasn't posted now in
00:22:53.140 23 hours. Um, and this is the last one at this point with so many allegations flying. Every major
00:22:58.440 media should pause and just report the following. There's been no verification of some of the most
00:23:02.720 heinous allegations, including rape and baby beheadings. Skepticism in this moment is the
00:23:08.000 brave and right thing to do. Now we've literally seen pictures of the murdered babies. If you go to
00:23:18.180 Ben Shapiro's Twitter account today, you will see them if you can stomach them.
00:23:23.140 Burned babies. And what appears to be a beheaded child, or at least a child who's
00:23:28.680 bleeding heavily, a baby, a baby, I can't be more than three months old in its crib dead.
00:23:35.500 And we've had the Jerusalem post report directly that they have seen, they have seen themselves
00:23:40.480 the evidence. It's not third hand now, like they are reporting in the first person that they have
00:23:45.160 seen it for themselves. And it's been confirmed by the Israeli government, but because the Israeli
00:23:50.320 government does not want to release the pictures on Moss for understandable reasons. Oh, and by the
00:23:55.300 way, there's reporting today that they showed the pictures to Tony Blinken, our secretary of state,
00:23:59.120 who's over there right now showed him this asshole has not updated his Twitter feed.
00:24:04.580 We're so the LA Times guys. Why? Why? He can't. It's not because he can't stomach the Thor, the horror.
00:24:12.880 He doesn't want to be wrong. He wants to pour cold water on the story. Why? Because the guys
00:24:20.060 obviously are raging anti-Semite smug. I'm sorry, but it's there's no other conclusion. It's absolutely
00:24:25.720 disgusting.
00:24:26.340 And also a significant part of the problem is that these newsrooms, the LA Times, the New York Times,
00:24:34.060 the Washington Post have essentially been captured by these 20 year olds who are completely woke and
00:24:39.840 in lockstep with this kind of ideology. They've all already been shepherded into believing, okay,
00:24:46.080 well, you know, riots and setting cities on fire is completely acceptable. And they've been
00:24:51.200 completely bullied into now believing that, well, I guess murder has to be acceptable. And I guess,
00:24:56.680 you know, Israelis like the Yale professor says that, well, settlers are not civilians.
00:25:02.940 The newsrooms themselves have this kind of pressure where we've seen in the past, like when Tom Cotton
00:25:07.760 wrote an op-ed in the New York Times saying that it's time to send in the National Guard when there
00:25:12.580 were riots all across this country. That person, the person who okayed him writing an op-ed lost their job
00:25:17.660 because the newsrooms themselves are now run by these woke 20 year olds. And that's why you have
00:25:22.280 people like that at the LA Times who are skeptical of the murder of civilians when there's evidence
00:25:29.760 everywhere. And they, it's not just, they don't want to be wrong. They don't want to upset their
00:25:34.600 friends in the newsroom for sounding like, oh, you're not okay with this decolonization.
00:25:39.720 That's what they're scared of.
00:25:41.180 I want to go back to the settlers aren't citizens thing for a second, because I think it's instructive of
00:25:45.220 how pervasive this, this problem actually is with the Yale professor. That, that theory,
00:25:51.200 like settlers aren't citizens or everyone is an enemy combatant is Islamist ideology that you can
00:26:00.580 map a through line from ISIS, Al Qaeda, Islamic Jihad to Muslim Brotherhood. They invented this term
00:26:08.020 called Jahaliya, which basically the theory was the citizens of a country are fair game for violent
00:26:14.660 terror because they are complicit in what their government does. And so we can kill any innocent
00:26:20.420 in the world. Everybody is fair game. So when they did a suicide bomb or put an IED next to a car,
00:26:27.080 it's all justified under this Islamist ideology. And now we have professors in the United States
00:26:34.360 who believe that same ideology. It is disgusting.
00:26:37.440 And also specifically about that professor at Yale, she's the professor of American studies
00:26:43.340 and religious studies and gave her location on her profile in America in a collapsing empire. So
00:26:49.760 you have someone who it's anti-capitalism, man. These people hate civilization. That's really what it
00:26:55.360 is when it gets down below all the bullshit and the land acknowledgements and the stuff that they
00:26:59.580 usually tweet underneath that is they just want the destruction of Western civilization and
00:27:05.660 capitalism. It's, it's simple as that.
00:27:08.020 It honestly, it's like BLM, which, you know, it's chapters now have put out, you know,
00:27:12.040 that disgusting BLM Chicago posts earlier this week showing the paragliders waving the Palestinian flag
00:27:19.360 and saying, yeah, that's it. Yeah, you go. They were celebrating it. Then they got some blowback,
00:27:24.400 including from many black Americans saying, what the hell are you doing? And they, then somebody went to
00:27:31.080 the national chapter of Black Lives Matter and they refused to condemn the statements.
00:27:36.080 Then apparently they have no problem with, they refused to condemn the statements because of what
00:27:40.580 you're just, what you just mentioned. Patrice, Patrice colors, the woman who was one of the three
00:27:45.140 co-founders of BLM was on camera just a couple of years ago calling for the end of Israel,
00:27:49.540 the end. So this is like all the ideology is tied together. Quick update. This guy who I just told you
00:27:55.380 about this reporter for LA times. He just tweeted, must be watching the show. Um, confusion persists
00:28:02.020 over the Hamas beheaded babies reporting. Um, CNN now saying is confusion persists. CNN now saying
00:28:09.880 an Israeli official has walked back at the claim. That's not true. No, I I've been following this
00:28:14.200 closely and no Israeli official has walked back the claim. One guy said, I'm not going to release the
00:28:18.080 pictures and I'm not going to get into the numbers. That's it. He did not, he did not walk anything
00:28:22.060 back. Um, and by, and by the way, we have in his, an IDF soldier who's first person reporting,
00:28:28.000 not to mention secretary of Lincoln, but forget all that, forget all that and standby. Then he
00:28:32.680 says, meanwhile, the Jerusalem post says it has seen the photos. Okay. So yes, they have. You might
00:28:37.920 want to consider looking at them yourself. LA times reporter because Benjamin Netanyahu is now tweeting
00:28:43.840 them out. Benjamin Netanyahu is now tweeting out the photos of the bloody dead babies. That's what it's
00:28:50.920 come to these insane lunatics. And honestly, now this asshole is going to go back to his Twitter
00:28:56.160 account and say, well, I don't know if it was 40, but was that baby actually beheaded or did it just
00:29:00.620 have its neck slit? So, so far to the back that it all, there's something wrong with these people.
00:29:06.560 They're walking amongst us. They're these people in the LA times newsroom are working with this
00:29:11.480 asshole. They're like, and, and many of them are Jewish. Now they have to go to work next to this guy.
00:29:16.840 This is insane. It is insane. It's absolutely disgusting. And you know, there's a guy,
00:29:21.620 this guy on Twitter, Adam Rubenstein, I don't know if you follow him. I encourage you to do it if you
00:29:25.780 don't, but he put it very, very well. I, he said, I think if your best argument is that the dead babies
00:29:32.400 were only murdered, not beheaded, you've not only lost the argument, but also your mind. And I just
00:29:38.400 think like the, the, the, like the splitting hairs in the, in like over, over dead children who were
00:29:45.040 murdered while they were in their cribs, Megan, I, I actually was at the kibbutz where these babies
00:29:51.320 were murdered a few years ago. And it is, I'm telling you, you have never met more friendly
00:29:57.200 people in your entire life. They were, they're living, they're living like the ideal existence
00:30:03.140 in a very peaceful way with their families all, all the while they're close to Gaza. They know,
00:30:10.560 they know the dangers. They, they, I mean, you, you've, you've literally never met people who
00:30:16.720 you'd rather spend more time with. And it's just, it's really heartbreaking what happened to these
00:30:21.740 people. And to go back to that LA times reporter, what's very critical. And you're seeing this across
00:30:27.220 a lot of media sources, which is really stunning is when they say things like, don't trust the
00:30:32.520 Jerusalem post, don't trust the IDF. They're essentially just trying to say, don't trust Jewish
00:30:38.920 people. It's thinly veiled anti-Semitism straight up. That's what that is. I mean,
00:30:43.580 I'm very thankful. These are modern day Holocaust deniers. Go ahead, Duncan.
00:30:46.940 Right, right. But I mean, there are brave, like foreign press war correspondents who are over there
00:30:53.420 who have seen this for themselves. And, you know, back to Ashbrook's point, it's like, are we really
00:30:59.660 splitting hairs and, and trying to, yes, but, uh, the murder of babies, the, the raping of, of women,
00:31:08.380 uh, the, the gunning down of people at a music festival for peace. I mean, one woman was murdered
00:31:15.540 by Hamas and they filmed her murder and uploaded it to her own Facebook page. Has the LA times seen
00:31:21.440 that? Is that enough proof? Is that enough proof that these people are terrorists? Like I it's,
00:31:26.440 it's, it's uncomfortable. That's exactly right. There've been so many tapes put out and this is
00:31:33.260 why, you know, Glenn Beck was on the show yesterday talking about how yesterday evening he was doing a
00:31:36.680 show with Ben Shapiro and Dave Rubin, where they were going to go through as many of these tapes as
00:31:40.320 they could stomach. And while it's, it's not something that I would do, um, I support the
00:31:47.320 decision to do it because if anybody's got doubts about whether this is happening and the level of
00:31:53.080 gruesome behavior, take the time, don't opine, don't write stupid ass pieces and tweets like this
00:31:59.320 without contextualizing who, who the hell cares how many of the 40 murdered babies were actually
00:32:07.460 beheaded. You talk about missing the point. How does this guy still have a job? I had, how does he
00:32:15.140 remain? It, it, it, I printed this out because I thought this actually was a great point and it was
00:32:21.220 just kind of got to the absurdity of what's happening. Her name is Kat Rosenfield and she
00:32:26.220 tweeted the following, uh, today. I think this was this, the, maybe the weirdest part of this whole
00:32:32.300 thing, uh, is this, how do you go from losing your mind over an errant pronoun or the phrase
00:32:40.520 master bedroom to shrugging off the explicit hate we're seeing here? That's exactly right. Cause
00:32:47.660 the same crowd has been trying to get people canceled over pronouns, over nonsense, like
00:32:54.460 master bedroom over, you know, using the rice of people who live in Peru without giving them proper
00:33:02.700 credit. Read, read Noah Rothman's book, the new Puritans. If you want to get all the examples
00:33:07.600 of how the same crowd has been lecturing us and canceling us into oblivion for the past three years
00:33:12.000 over nothing. The same group that now is celebrating the mass murders happening over there with a
00:33:18.700 shoulder shrugging. This is what decolonization looks like. Yeah. Yeah. There are college kids
00:33:25.540 who with a straight face will say Riley gain showing up on my campus is a threat to my personal safety.
00:33:32.160 And then they'll attend a pro Hamas rally that screams death to the Jews and praise the martyrs.
00:33:39.820 And I, I mean, in a culture of microaggression, they're fine with a macroaggression like that.
00:33:46.060 Yeah. No, we hear so many lectures about how words are violence, but when there's actual violence,
00:33:51.680 somehow that's not violence, right? It's in like the worst violence you could even,
00:33:58.080 you can't even imagine it. I mean, prior to them doing this, who could have imagined it? And their
00:34:03.000 first instinct is not to say, my God, the horror, it's to celebrate and defend it. I have zero use
00:34:12.340 for these people. Zero. If any of those people are watching this show, go somewhere else. You're
00:34:18.060 following me on Twitter, unfollow. I have zero appetite for you in my life in any way. Stand by
00:34:26.500 guys. I'm going to take a quick break and we're going to come back. I'm going to play you that
00:34:29.900 videotape of the Hamas leader. This just in, Secretary of State Blinken in Tel Aviv says
00:34:39.580 Israeli counterparts showed him photos of Israeli soldiers decapitated, babies riddled with bullets,
00:34:48.960 harkens back to ISIS, describes feelings as overwhelming. This is a moment of moral clarity.
00:34:55.720 And again, we've seen the photos ourselves being tweeted out by Netanyahu, by Ben of
00:35:02.620 babies completely burnt, bloodied in their cribs. We've seen photos tweeted out of the cribs
00:35:09.880 that are now empty in which the mattress is completely blood soaked. The walls are completely
00:35:16.160 covered in blood and you see like Tonka trucks in the foreground. And it was to your point, Ashbrook,
00:35:23.320 it was clearly a happy place where toddlers and babies were living as of this past Friday.
00:35:30.920 And within 24 hours, it would be the scene of a mass murder. So I have zero patience to quibble over
00:35:37.060 the exact way in which the neck was cut and the baby's life was taken. It's completely beside the
00:35:44.120 point. Hamas, meanwhile, comes out and speaks clearly about how this happened. It's an extraordinary
00:35:53.060 interview in which a senior Hamas leader talks about how long they had been planning this and
00:35:59.220 listen to the piece at the end about their fundamental life philosophy for all these people
00:36:05.580 saying two state solution. You guys referenced it at the top, right? Like the BS of like, that's what
00:36:10.680 they want. They just want to live in peace next to Israel with a two state solution. Bullshit.
00:36:16.880 They want like what Patrice Colors wants. They want the eradication of Israel. There is no possibility
00:36:24.220 of peace with this group. Don't believe me. Listen to the senior Hamas official here. We've
00:36:29.840 done our own voiceover of the translation.
00:36:34.180 Zero hour was kept completely secret. A limited number of Hamas leaders knew it. The number of people
00:36:42.120 who knew about the attack and its timing could be counted on one hand. In the past couple of years,
00:36:47.760 Hamas has adopted a rational approach. It did not go into any war and did not join the Islamic Jihad
00:36:53.060 in its recent battle. But all this was part of Hamas's strategy in preparing for this attack.
00:36:58.400 Of course, we made them think that Hamas was busy governing in Gaza and that it wanted to focus on
00:37:02.840 the two and a half million Palestinians there and that they had abandoned the resistance altogether.
00:37:07.040 All the while, under the table, Hamas was preparing for this big attack.
00:37:10.280 In order to keep the attack secret and successful, the different factions and our allies did not know
00:37:15.920 the zero hour. The Israelis are known to love life. We, on the other hand, sacrifice ourselves.
00:37:22.440 We consider our dead to be martyrs. The thing any Palestinian desires the most is to be martyred
00:37:28.460 for the sake of Allah, defending his land. Our allies are those that support us with weapons and money.
00:37:34.840 First and foremost, it is Iran that gives us money and weapons. We are not alone on the battlefield.
00:37:39.840 And there you have it. This is, there's no greater glory for the Palestinians than to die
00:37:47.040 for their land. They need to get rid of the Israelis who are so pesky in the way that they
00:37:51.900 love life. And thank God we can do it with the help of Iran. By the way, new Washington Post
00:37:58.000 reporting today talking all about how Iran helped, helped plan it, helped fund it, while U.S. and Israeli
00:38:04.480 intelligence continue to say, we've seen no definitive evidence of that. I don't, I don't
00:38:09.220 know what's happening there, to be honest, whether we're just denying it because we don't want a war
00:38:12.300 with Iran or whether there's a difference between the many, many meetings and planning Iran helped
00:38:17.680 with and the money and officially joining Hamas on the battlefield as they committed these atrocities.
00:38:23.600 But there's no question Iran had a hand in it. So guys, what do you make of this Hamas official
00:38:28.260 saying explicitly, we live to sacrifice ourselves for the sake of defending Allah's land. This is our
00:38:33.660 main goal. Like two state solution, if only the occupiers would be more kind and gentle,
00:38:38.820 you know, maybe we could find peace in the Middle East. Yeah, I thought the sickest part of the entire
00:38:44.840 thing was when he said Israel assumed, you know, we were caring for the people of Gaza, that we were
00:38:52.980 governing Gaza. But in secret, we were, you know, building rockets and building gliders that we could
00:38:59.820 use to murder people at a music festival. I mean, just think about that, because I see a lot of
00:39:04.340 folks on the left and journalists talking about, oh, you know, you know, Israel is committing a war
00:39:10.920 crime because the electricity in Gaza is out and they don't have clean water. Well, Hamas digs up the
00:39:17.120 water pipes to build rockets to shoot them into Israel. I mean, the people who are terrorizing Gaza
00:39:23.860 are Hamas itself. And they're proud of it. They're proud of what they are doing. They think it's a
00:39:30.960 weakness of the Israelis that they love life. Think about how sick and twisted, nihilistic it is.
00:39:37.260 It's anti-human is what this is. You're exactly right. They've been sitting there for over a year
00:39:43.820 planning this while the Israelis were thinking, maybe we're making progress. You know, maybe we have
00:39:49.020 reached a place where we can live side by side and they won't be trying to kill us all the time.
00:39:56.620 It's really it's kind of stunning because Israel went so far as to allow Gazans to work in Israel.
00:40:02.280 They were allowing not just Palestinians from anywhere, but people from Gaza, which we know is
00:40:06.700 heavily populated by Hamas, to come in and work in Israel, trusting them that much. And this is the
00:40:13.980 thanks they get. This is Israel. Israel has treated the family members of Hamas leaders
00:40:19.900 in Israeli hospitals when they've gotten sick and needed surgery. Think about that.
00:40:25.080 They're treating Hamas fighters in their hospitals today. Yeah. And the reward for that is they target
00:40:33.120 civilians. So here that brings me to Rashida Tlaib, who is absolutely the worst. Do we have her
00:40:39.920 a little bit from yesterday? Do we have it here today? You guys, just in case people didn't see
00:40:44.540 it. All right. This is where the Fox reporter, we showed it yesterday, but for those who haven't
00:40:49.000 seen it, the Fox reporter confronted Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian American on, because she hadn't said
00:40:55.180 anything in sympathy with Israel. She'd only released a very volatile statement that seemed to support the
00:41:01.080 Palestinians. And then we found out the report about the murdered babies and so on. So Fox's reporter
00:41:07.120 caught up with her and here's a bit of what happened.
00:41:09.920 Do you condone what Hamas has done chopping off babies heads, burning children alive, breaking women in the
00:41:17.380 street? You have no comment about children's heads being chopped off. Congressman, why do you have a
00:41:32.800 Palestinian flag outside your office if you do not condone what Hamas terrorist has done to Israel?
00:41:40.880 Do Israeli lives not matter to you?
00:41:43.200 Okay. The reason she was confronting her is because Tlaib's original statement over the
00:41:50.780 weekend was as follows. I'll just give you a flavor. I continue to grieve the Palestinian
00:41:55.240 and Israeli lives lost yesterday, today and every day. She called for the dismantling the apartheid
00:42:00.640 system that created the suffocating, dehumanizing conditions that can lead to resistance.
00:42:04.580 She called for ending the occupation. Quote, as long as our country provides billions in
00:42:09.540 unconditional funding to support the apartheid government, this heartbreaking cycle of violence
00:42:15.480 will continue. The cycle of violence. I'm going to read you a piece on the cycle of violence in one
00:42:23.200 second. But now, today, after that clip went viral of her refusing to say,
00:42:28.080 no, I don't, I do not support the murder of babies. Yes, I condemn that heinous act. She couldn't find it
00:42:35.340 within herself to say it. Through a spokesperson, this is what she managed to come up with.
00:42:40.880 I do not support the targeting and killing of civilians, whether in Israel or Palestine. And then for good
00:42:48.140 measure, because she's part of the whole BLM crew, the fact that some have suggested otherwise is
00:42:53.520 offensive and rooted in bigoted assumptions about my faith and ethnicity. She never forget, guys,
00:42:59.780 she's the real victim. Exactly. I mean, their whole ideology is based on making themselves a victim
00:43:08.120 and then trying to control others. This is the same playbook that they've always used. And even in the
00:43:12.940 face of these horrors, like they themselves would say silence means you're compliant. That's a perfect
00:43:19.360 example of it right there. If you can't, when asked, at your face, say, of course, I think it's
00:43:24.740 abhorrent that children were murdered. I'm completely against that. Of course, I'm against women who are
00:43:28.520 raped. That's a horrific thing to happen. If you can't say that and you're a member of Congress,
00:43:34.380 what are you doing? And a subtle thing in those statements that I think it's trying to do is excuse
00:43:38.940 it. I mean, that's what it really is doing. Like, you know, these are the consequences of the
00:43:45.140 conditions of Gaza is that babies get decapitated when they say the resistance, the resistance. What
00:43:52.060 they mean is it's OK. And you might ask yourself, how is it that a member of Congress who's ostensibly
00:43:58.740 popularly elected by constituents get to this point? I mean, like how in the world among 435 people in
00:44:06.380 America do we have one who refuses to condemn the murder of babies? And if you do a little bit of
00:44:12.700 digging and look at her district, you will be horrified because I don't know if you've seen
00:44:18.740 some of these rallies that have happened in Dearborn, Michigan, or some of the district.
00:44:23.920 That is that is that's her district. So if you see the Hamas flags outside of buildings in Dearborn,
00:44:30.020 Michigan, you will be horrified and you will start to wonder how in the world is Hamas here in America?
00:44:36.900 And it's it's I mean, it's no mystery. Our immigration policies in this country have been
00:44:42.180 so lax. Our border security has been non-existent and nobody has really looked in to who is coming
00:44:49.500 here and what are their motives. And that is how you get somebody who is basically a Hamas sympathizer
00:44:56.540 as a member of Congress. Consequences up and down. Chilling.
00:45:01.420 That is absolutely chilling. You're right. And I'll get to I just pulled them the border stats
00:45:07.460 of how many people from countries like this have come across our border with impunity over the past
00:45:14.700 couple of years under Joe Biden. I want to read you something quickly before we go to break from
00:45:19.500 Jeff Jacoby. He's an op ed columnist at the Boston Globe on this idea of cycle of violence. We're hearing
00:45:25.220 this from many of these Hamas defenders cycle of violence. You know, it goes back and forth.
00:45:29.400 This is kind of just a response to Israel's violence. So, you know, you got to contextualize
00:45:34.220 it. OK, let me just read you something. There is no cycle of violence, he writes. There is a history
00:45:41.180 of horrific Palestinian terror and of desperate efforts by Israel to prevent more atrocities,
00:45:47.260 nor did anything start with, quote, the Israeli occupation. Every time Palestinian Arabs have been
00:45:52.580 offered statehood, every time they've been given the opportunity to govern themselves in peace
00:45:56.700 alongside a Jewish state, they have vehemently and violently rejected it. It is not Israeli
00:46:02.120 occupation that Hamas and the PLO resent. That's the group that is more in the West Bank. It is the
00:46:09.160 existence of any Jewish state, no matter how small. In 1947, the United Nations voted to create two
00:46:15.580 states, one Jewish and one Arab in what had been British Palestine. The Jews agreed. The Arabs launched
00:46:21.920 what they called a war of extermination to prevent the birth of a Jewish state. Miraculously, Israel
00:46:28.920 survived the Arab onslaught. That is what its enemies now call the occupation. Eighteen years ago, Israel
00:46:36.560 expelled all the Jews who were living in the Gaza Strip and transferred the entire territory to the
00:46:42.060 Palestinian Authority. It was the perfect opportunity for Palestinians to build a flourishing and peaceful
00:46:47.140 state unimpeded by Jewish, quote, occupiers. Instead, the Palestinian Authority and Hamas voted to use Gaza as a
00:46:54.940 base for more and more terror. They kept their word. The nearly 1,000 Israelis shot, hacked, burned, raped,
00:47:02.760 beheaded and tortured to death this past week are only the latest victims. It has been said often, but it bears
00:47:08.940 repeating. If Hamas and the PLO were to lay down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If Israel were to
00:47:16.800 lay down its weapons, there would be no more Israel. There are 21 Arab countries and 55 majority Muslim
00:47:25.440 countries in the world. There was only one small Jewish country. But for Israel's enemies, that has
00:47:32.720 always been one too many. We'll be right back as the guys from Ruthless stay with us.
00:47:39.800 Everybody's watching the Megyn Kelly show live. Apparently, they're listening to it on Sirius XM Triumph Channel 111
00:47:48.440 and then they're tweeting accordingly, including this ridiculous Albany Law School professor, Nina Farnia, again,
00:47:55.100 legal historian and scholar of critical race theory. Just to remind the audience from our one, she tweeted out long live
00:48:01.120 the Palestinian resistance and people of Gaza tearing down the walls of colonialism and apartheid and goes on for their
00:48:07.620 saying the Palestinians are a beacon for us all a beacon. Well, she just tweeted again. And you know
00:48:17.700 who she's feeling really sorry for. I'll give you one guess. Herself. You got it. You got it.
00:48:26.260 This morning, I woke up to death threats on Twitter. She's really concerned about death threats now that
00:48:33.640 they're directed at her actual death unleashed on Israeli children. That's fine. That's go
00:48:39.760 Palestinians. This morning, I woke up to death threats on Twitter, people revealing themselves
00:48:44.340 as proponents of racist violence on my page, not to mention censorship and suppression of speech.
00:48:51.780 Let the record speak for itself. Oh, it does, Nina. And the record has revealed you to be a vile
00:48:59.920 Jew hater. The record shall so reflect. Then what does Albany Law School do, right? It's a chance
00:49:05.220 for the law school to say in the same way Winston and Strawn, that great law firm in Chicago, fired
00:49:11.040 that woman, Rhino Workman, who was heading up the New York University NYU Law Students Bar Association.
00:49:17.640 They fired her ass when she tweeted out something like this, said your permanent offer to work here
00:49:21.480 has been revoked. Does Albany Law say, Nina, you're out. You're out. And by the way,
00:49:25.960 we can't stand Nina's views. Nope. They tweet out the following, a statement from Albany Law School
00:49:31.880 president and dean. I kid you not, this is her name. Cinnamon P. Carlarnay. Cinnamon, who we looked
00:49:40.720 it up. I didn't know this was the dean. I knew the old dean. Went to Oxford and Berkeley, of course.
00:49:46.840 And Dan Grossman, chair of the board of trustees. Albany Law School unequivocally condemns the Hamas
00:49:52.080 terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. These acts of unspeakable
00:49:56.540 terror are an affront to humanity. We express our unconditional support for all of those affected
00:50:00.580 by the horrific violence. So I got a pro tip for you, Albany Law School. That should have been done
00:50:06.740 a lot earlier than yesterday, which is when they tweeted it a lot earlier. It doesn't take four days
00:50:12.500 for you to figure out the mass murder of civilians is something you might want to comment on. And where's
00:50:18.040 your comment on Nina, the vile racist, the vile Jew hater that you have teaching your students?
00:50:23.300 I'll wait. I'll wait. So that's the update on her. There's lots coming in. Hold on a second.
00:50:30.520 OK. And then my friend reminded me this. Scott Wiener, who starred in our first hour as well.
00:50:36.120 You know, the guy who's like absolutely horrified that his Democratic Socialists of America
00:50:39.520 are also vile Jew haters. Remember, he tweeted this on 1010 just a couple of days ago. Let's be clear.
00:50:46.380 The MAGA cult is supporting Jews at this moment because they hate Palestinians
00:50:50.900 even more than they hate Jews. You see, MAGA hates everybody. They hate the Palestinians,
00:50:55.280 presumably because they have brown skin and they hate the Jews because, I don't know, Jews. But
00:50:59.960 they'll turn on the Jews, he adds, in a heartbeat if the mothership, I guess that means Trump,
00:51:05.360 signals a moral panic that Jews are groomers who want to steal their children. Eyes wide open.
00:51:09.860 Poor Scott Wiener, guys, he has nowhere to turn. He can't stay with the Democratic Socialists,
00:51:13.920 and yet he can't join MAGA because it's just a hateful world for a poor guy like Scott who happens
00:51:19.060 to be Jewish and wants to trans your kids. These people twist themselves into pretzels
00:51:25.800 to defend the indefensible. And I just cannot believe the professor saying that she's being
00:51:33.420 censored as she's literally tweeting something. How can you be censored while you're tweeting
00:51:38.580 something? The people who were censored are the murdered Israelis who are laying in the ground
00:51:43.860 right now, weren't even able to tweet or speak up for themselves. I've got news for that lady.
00:51:48.780 She is a dangerous, dangerous person to a civil society, and she does not belong on a college
00:51:56.680 campus. That's right. You guys, what about this free speech? You're censoring me. We saw some of
00:52:03.880 the students who signed that letter at Harvard condemning Israel only, saying it's all Israel's
00:52:09.800 fault. Now that Bill Ackman, the big hedge fund CEO, put out a note saying a bunch of CEOs are
00:52:16.260 asking me for their names. Let's get their names. And now we do know their names. Now we've seen a
00:52:20.340 bunch of them try to disavow or even explicitly just come out and say, this is unfair. And people
00:52:25.480 didn't know exactly what they were signing. This is an overreaction. And by the way, it's cancel
00:52:30.000 culture and anti-free speech. I should be able to espouse my terrorist supporting views wherever I
00:52:36.120 want without consequence. Yeah. I mean, first of all, it's pretty bad when you have kids going to
00:52:44.300 Harvard Law who don't read things before they sign. I don't know what kind of advice they could offer
00:52:48.380 to clients to begin with. Yeah. For them to try and play the, oh my gosh, we're being canceled.
00:52:54.480 The, the line that they so gleefully have said for years is sure you can have free speech, but
00:53:00.040 there's consequences of that speech. They kept telling us that over and over again. And now that
00:53:04.400 the tables have turned, all of a sudden they're, they're crying that they're the victim now in
00:53:08.480 these instances. Yeah. They, they always said, uh, you know, it's freedom of speech, not freedom of
00:53:12.720 consequences. That was always the line they used. And during the Trump years, you had all these folks
00:53:17.100 compiling lists of everybody who worked for Donald Trump because remember they were going to blackball
00:53:21.800 them from polite society. They were going to ensure they could never get another job again for working
00:53:26.280 in his administration. And now these people want to talk about cancel culture. Well, like I know a lot
00:53:31.160 of people probably have a different line of what they consider, uh, you know, when someone should be
00:53:36.380 canceled. I think praising murderous terrorists is a line I'm comfortable drawing. Yeah, exactly.
00:53:44.320 That's like Mehdi Hassan, who we talked about the other day on the show, this MSNBC anchor,
00:53:49.100 he was very upset about Bill Ackman, the CEO, trying to get the names to hold these students
00:53:54.440 accountable and say, Hey, you know what? Good luck getting a job here. You're not coming to
00:53:57.700 wall street. You're not going to work for a hedge fund. You're not going to be a big investment banker
00:54:00.760 and you're probably not going to get hired by law firm either. Um, so sorry, we want to know who you
00:54:05.160 are and whether you support terrorism. It's a thing as it turns out. And so Mehdi Hassan is out there
00:54:10.100 saying this is, this is not supportive of free speech. It's cancel culture. And then somebody of course
00:54:15.120 found the receipts March 8th, 2022. This is from Mehdi. Free speech does not mean freedom to speak
00:54:22.600 without consequence. Yes, exactly. This, this, this free speech. There's always a tweet, Megan.
00:54:30.520 There's always a tweet. Unless it's, unless you really pushing for the murder of civilians in Israel,
00:54:36.720 you know, that then you can, then you can say whatever you want and it should be no consequences.
00:54:41.140 That's his view. Um, back to the border. Uh, I want to show you some, cause you were making this
00:54:46.600 point Ashbrook and it was a good one. It was kind of chilling what you were saying.
00:54:50.380 This is a report from Fox news. A couple of days ago, thousands of quotes, special interest aliens.
00:54:56.760 I'm not exactly sure what that means from numerous countries, including the middle East have been
00:55:01.320 arrested by border patrol while attempting to cross into the U S via the Southern border over the last
00:55:07.040 two years. This data goes from October 21 through October 23 shows that the agents encountered almost
00:55:16.560 6,400 nationals from Afghanistan, 3,100 from Egypt, six 59 from Iran, 538 from Syria, 12,600 from
00:55:26.840 Uzbekistan, 30,000 from Turkey, 1,600 from Pakistan, one 64 from Lebanon, one 85 from Jordan, one 23 from
00:55:39.100 Iraq. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, I'm telling you the Southern border is one of the biggest
00:55:47.660 problems that we have in our country today. And I heard an encouraging number this morning, uh, that 57%
00:55:54.440 of Americans now support the construction of a border wall and the rise in support is due mostly to
00:56:01.560 movement among Democrats, among people who are living in blue States and cities. It's no surprise
00:56:06.820 because cities are now overrun with migrants. But what people see on the news is somebody from
00:56:15.660 Guatemala or Mexico coming to make a better life for themselves. What they do not see on the news
00:56:21.180 is, is the migration also includes people from Uzbekistan and Iraq. And I'm, I got to tell you,
00:56:28.200 Megan, if we don't have better, a better line of sight on who is coming in and when they're coming
00:56:34.500 in and why they're coming in, and we can't funnel them to one place so that authorities can, can get
00:56:41.040 that information. We are in big trouble. And we all know the truth. The chilling truth of the border
00:56:46.820 is that it's been open for a very, very long time and the bad people are already here. And I just
00:56:55.400 think that we have to redouble our efforts to find out who they are, where they are and stop them
00:57:03.200 before they have a chance to do harm to Jews, Christians, Muslims, anybody in this country who
00:57:08.860 wants to live a peaceful life. Yeah. I heard an encouraging number this morning too. And that's 13
00:57:14.240 months left until the next presidential election. Also felt encouraged by that. We'll get to politics
00:57:22.140 in one second, but I don't want to leave Israel yet. Uh, Blinken went over there and, you know,
00:57:26.460 you got to say, I, this is without, I fully understand that president Biden and his choices
00:57:31.460 have helped create this mess. Um, you know, refunding the Palestinians, funding Iran to the
00:57:36.720 tune of 6 billion to the point where even now five top democratic senators are saying, do not give them
00:57:41.660 that money, stop that money from going to Iran. We could go down the list of his administration's
00:57:46.020 policies that have helped create this mess, not to mention the weakness we've projected from
00:57:49.320 Afghanistan to the Ukraine and so on. However, he's been saying the right things about Israel.
00:57:53.880 And, and that's been somewhat comforting to hear the American president not equivocate on the,
00:57:59.180 using the words terrorists, right? Unlike the New York times and these other publications and some
00:58:04.340 leftists, his wording has been right on and he's been showing solidarity. So blinking goes over to
00:58:10.420 Israel, which was the right call. And he met with Netanyahu and he, um, he went and met with like
00:58:16.700 regular Israelis. And here he goes to a welcome center in Tel Aviv and just watch this moment, guys.
00:58:24.420 They're cheering for all of us. You know, they're cheering for Americans and for America. It's not
00:58:44.320 about Blinken. He's, he's also saying the right things, but after his errant tweets, but the point
00:58:49.460 is they're relying on us, we're their best friend. We've always had their back. They've always had
00:58:54.120 ours and they're cheering because we're always there for them. And we've said, we'll be there
00:58:59.680 for them in this dispute. And to me, it's very clear. We must be, you know, there's a reason
00:59:04.560 we're so close. There's strategically and, and, you know, for our own security that we've sort of
00:59:10.840 been this tight with Israel, but you see that and you think, how could we do anything other than
00:59:15.580 have their backs on this? Here's just a little bit more, um, Blinken with Netanyahu sought to
00:59:20.260 the message that I bring to Israel is this. You may be strong enough on your own to defend yourself,
00:59:27.560 but as long as America exists, you will never, ever have to, we will always be there by your side.
00:59:37.960 So what do you make of the closeness between the two countries and the position it puts us in now
00:59:43.780 in terms of helping and how the Biden administration is handling this?
00:59:50.040 Well, I think there's two things. Number one, just from a practical standpoint, before you even got
00:59:54.660 into the principles and ideals, and I think those are obviously very important, but, you know,
00:59:59.600 Israel is our most important intelligence asset in the Middle East, which we all know is a very
01:00:05.500 dangerous place. The coordination we have with them and their partners allows us to stop a lot of terror
01:00:11.260 happening in this country and around the world. So just pragmatically, the Alliance makes a ton of
01:00:15.940 sense. Then obviously you have the fact that Israel is a democracy, a liberal democracy in the Middle
01:00:21.180 East, a beacon for civilization in the region. I mean, if you're not going to defend that, what are
01:00:27.600 we, what are we doing here? What does America mean? You know, and I know there's a lot of people out
01:00:31.560 there who would say, oh, we need to, you know, um, solve problems in this country before we can do
01:00:36.000 anything else in the world. Well, it shouldn't be if, or it shouldn't be one or the other. We should
01:00:41.220 be able to secure the border and also protect our strongest ally in the world in a very, very
01:00:45.660 dangerous place surrounded by a lot of people who want to kill them every day. And we're bound even
01:00:50.560 closer together in a heartbreaking way after the weekend, when we saw 22 Americans among those
01:00:55.680 murdered. And there are at least a dozen more American hostages currently being held by Hamas
01:01:01.980 inside of Gaza. And so our, our American interests with Israel are aligned in ways that we really,
01:01:09.500 really wish. I mean, we really wish they, they weren't today because there are also think about,
01:01:16.200 think about how many other Americans are in Israel who are living there, or some, some Americans have
01:01:22.640 gone over to fight with the IDF. So it is, there is a seamless integration, not to mention the, uh,
01:01:30.540 the men and women, uh, who are on this as a part of this Gerald Ford, uh, carrier strike group,
01:01:36.740 or this, I think it's the Eisenhower is the other carrier that's headed to the Mediterranean to,
01:01:41.260 to put an American military presence there right off the coast of, of where all this action has
01:01:47.360 happened. We are there and we're in it. And I, I just, I just think that, um, I, I think that we need
01:01:55.980 to be. I don't know. You put that aircraft carrier off the coast and it's sitting there. It's the
01:02:02.040 largest aircraft carrier in the world and it belongs to the United States of America. It's
01:02:05.960 got to give Hezbollah, Iran, some concern about crossing even this weakened American president who
01:02:14.820 said, if you're thinking about quote, helping, don't helping the Palestinians don't, you know,
01:02:21.680 we're warning you. I, I recognize he's feeble and he's weak and he's projected weakness, but it's not
01:02:28.120 all about him. It's also about the greatest military in the face of the earth. And that's ours.
01:02:35.400 Yeah, no, that's, that's exactly right. And, um, I, I do think it's a deterrent. I mean,
01:02:40.500 how could it not be? And, and by the way, there are, there are, there are two carriers that will be
01:02:45.960 there, uh, within a matter of weeks as I, as I understand it and, and every other ship that goes
01:02:51.860 along with it. And I cannot imagine, as you say, Megan, like, what are you thinking? If you escalate
01:02:57.640 in their American ships and in, in the area that could fire, I mean, Tomahawk missiles, pretty,
01:03:05.080 pretty tough weapon, you know, I mean, it can do a lot of damage, but I mean, this is what we have to
01:03:10.560 do to prepare for the worst case scenario, because like you alluded to earlier, Megan, in the six day
01:03:16.520 war, all of these countries invaded Israel to try to wipe it off the map. Israel wouldn't exist today
01:03:23.260 if they had not won that war, the land that the, you know, the, the Hamas will say Israel is occupying
01:03:30.900 is land that was, they tried to steal from Israel in that war.
01:03:36.500 Mm-hmm. The threat of escalation, the threat of escalation is very, very real. We know that
01:03:43.140 Hezbollah through, through American intelligence and Israeli intelligence, we know that Hezbollah
01:03:47.560 is putting rockets and missiles inside of buildings like schools and churches and mosques and hospitals
01:03:53.920 to protect, protect those missiles. We know that in the same way that basically Hamas has done it in
01:04:00.280 Gaza. We, we've seen reporting over the last few days that there are efforts to activate terrorist
01:04:07.920 sects with, from within Israel, inside of cities. We know that the West Bank is a very fraught area,
01:04:16.040 very fraught with conflict. So the, the, the possibility for, possibilities for escalation are
01:04:22.800 endless, especially if the money is flowing from Iran is, is freely as, as it appears to be.
01:04:28.440 Mm-hmm. So it is just, it's so important that there is some sort of deterrent in the area
01:04:34.060 and that deterrent comes in the form of American aircraft carriers.
01:04:38.700 Yeah. That's us. Duncan, to your point about, you know, how Israel allegedly, they're the colonizers,
01:04:46.120 the editor's podcast, you know, by National Review, they were making, they were talking about this on
01:04:50.520 Monday and Charles C.W. Cook was making a great point saying, first of all, the Israelis are indigenous
01:04:55.700 people here. Now that their, their relationship to this area goes back 3000 years. But second of all,
01:05:01.320 who cares? Who cares? He was like, do you know how many countries where they've fought wars over who's
01:05:08.140 going to have the land, who's going to be in, in charge? And then one side wins and one side loses
01:05:13.980 and the other side goes on to live there peacefully. Only in Israel is, does this remain an issue forever
01:05:18.380 more? Right? So he's like, I don't care whether you call them colonizers. They're not. This is
01:05:23.400 their land. But, you know, and even as Jeff Jacoby was pointing out in that piece, they, they,
01:05:27.740 they have, you know, one country. The Israelis have one, the Jews have one country, which was formed
01:05:35.680 after the Holocaust. And these Muslims have 55 countries all around and they're not satisfied.
01:05:41.760 They want this one to go away. So I'm done listening to the, you're colonialists.
01:05:45.440 It's a great point, Megan. And it's one I make often because I would just love to talk to these
01:05:51.260 woke decolonization historians about when was the time in, in, in human history. Give me an exact
01:05:57.840 date where everybody was living on the land that you believe that they deserved and should have in
01:06:02.700 perpetuity forever. That isn't the existence of the human race. It's never existed. When Islam was
01:06:08.740 started in the six, six hundreds, they spread the religion through conquest all through North Africa and the
01:06:15.180 rest of the Middle East, through empires, through the imperialism that Rashida Tlaib says we have to
01:06:21.100 dismantle. Like, it's just a historical bullshit. These people don't know what the hell they're
01:06:25.200 talking about. They were picked up a history book. That's exactly right. I don't remember that Yale
01:06:32.840 professor, uh, who said, who's calling everybody settlers. I don't remember her offering her home to
01:06:39.060 the Quinnipiac people who were living there years ago before she came. So she's a settler to them.
01:06:45.700 Right. Is she going to just like hand her house over? Um, I think all of these people could make,
01:06:51.980 could make a really good gesture if they would go ahead and decolonize themselves and move somewhere
01:06:56.620 else so we could live in peace here in the United States. I'd love to see it. Um, I'm trying to find
01:07:02.100 this quote that I took a picture of, I guess it was last Tuesday. What was the date of last Tuesday?
01:07:09.340 Today is, I would have been October 3rd. All right. Stand by. Um, and the reason I'm trying to find this
01:07:15.600 quote is, oh, here, I found it. So when we were shopping for schools in New York city, understanding
01:07:21.400 we lived in a leftist world, uh, we wanted, we knew they'd all be liberal, but we didn't know just, you know,
01:07:27.320 we didn't want leftist. Right. And, um, one of the schools we went to, it was, uh, I think it was
01:07:32.940 Fieldston and it feels a very Tony school, like up in sort of the Bronx area, but this absolutely
01:07:38.360 gorgeous campus. I mean, it looks like a college campus. And I'll never forget when we walked out,
01:07:43.100 I said that, that, that is an absolutely perfect school for Rachel Maddow's children. It was like,
01:07:49.280 whoa, whoa. They talked about how in third grade, all they do in, in social studies,
01:07:56.680 all they do is make the children absolutely fall in love with the native Americans and establish
01:08:00.880 that it was the native Americans land. And they do the whole land acknowledgement things. And they
01:08:05.420 teach the children all about like all the gifts that the native Americans brought. And then fourth
01:08:09.680 grade, this is a quote, fourth grade is very hard. It's very hard. It's when we walk them through how
01:08:15.920 we murdered them all. We murder all. So they make the children fall in love with the native Americans
01:08:21.200 in third grade only to big reveal the, the, you know, the evil white colonizers came over and
01:08:28.120 murdered them all. And we're thinking, my God, some of this like in tiny amounts could be appropriate,
01:08:35.040 taught correctly. No. Um, so then we moved schools, right. And we came out to Connecticut and now the
01:08:41.920 same child who we were looking at schools for their, our, our eldest was, you know, he was the one who we
01:08:46.940 were looking at fieldstone, which was immediately rejected. Now he's at school out here in Connecticut
01:08:52.080 and he's in the eighth grade. And we showed up for a curriculum night last Tuesday. And we walked
01:08:58.320 into his history slash social studies classroom. And do you know what we saw on the board?
01:09:04.420 A quote from Ronald Reagan. I'm not kidding. I'm going to read it to you. I'm going to read it to you.
01:09:12.280 Cause I think there's just some hope for people out there and informed patriotism is what we want.
01:09:18.240 Are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents
01:09:23.960 in the long history of the world? We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion,
01:09:28.940 but on what's important, why the pilgrims came here, who Jimmy Doolittle was and what those 30 seconds
01:09:36.900 over Tokyo meant. Let's start with some basics, more attention to American history and a greater
01:09:43.080 emphasis on critical on civic ritual. President Reagan, farewell address to the nation written by
01:09:51.900 Peggy Noonan. Uh, that's how it's done. And if your child is in a leftist school like fieldstone
01:10:01.000 or a leftist school, like NYU law or Albany law now, or Harvard, you really need to stop and think,
01:10:09.420 is this what I want to create? Do I, is, are these the people I want as their teachers,
01:10:14.700 you know, or would you prefer a teacher like this who spends their time, their precious time in class
01:10:20.160 teaching them about America, its history, the reasons to love it, the checkered past that we do
01:10:25.920 have, of course, but teaches them to fall in love with the country and the values that we happen to
01:10:30.100 share, the fundamental goodness of America, right? It's like all these people we've been discussing
01:10:35.280 for the past hour and a half are on the other side, not just of Israel, but of America and their
01:10:41.320 influence is ubiquitous. Yeah. I mean, I see this as the less grand plan in all of this is creating
01:10:51.600 this kind of pipeline where you look at, to begin with what the admissions process for, uh, colleges
01:10:58.260 these days. They're not looking for academics. They're looking for activists. The professors
01:11:02.460 there are activists. So they want to train the kids who come in there. You're not getting an
01:11:07.180 education and how to be effective. I mean, these Harvard law kids didn't even know to read something
01:11:11.040 before they signed it. They're getting an education, how to be an activist. And then there's no question
01:11:16.780 being, you know, asked by this administration of why does college cost so much when these colleges are
01:11:22.240 bloated and full of DEI, uh, counselors that they're getting top, you know, salaries just to
01:11:28.060 be a DEI officer on a college campus. They're not worried about the cost. They're trying to just
01:11:32.760 forgive the debt. So taxpayers are essentially sponsoring activists to get an education on a
01:11:38.500 college campus, but they can then go onto a college campus and become a professor that writes
01:11:42.820 America is a dying empire. And I stand with the resistance of Hamas. So the whole system has
01:11:49.800 essentially been captured by the left. And then they go on now into the corporate environment
01:11:53.980 where they've started getting jobs as DEI officers and trying to influence the corporations effect.
01:11:59.520 So like all facets of our life, they're trying to get complete control over through their activism.
01:12:05.100 One good thing you guys about this on the, on the, you know, shoots, the green shoots is, um,
01:12:10.820 where is it? The guy who, um, he started, or he's the CEO of Apollo, right? Another one of these huge
01:12:17.120 global money firms, Mark Rowan, he tried to, he went to UPenn, he went to Wharton, um, and he's,
01:12:24.460 I think CEO of their board. And he tried to write a letter to UPenn because they had similar problems
01:12:30.860 at UPenn in the initial response to the violence. And they had a couple of weeks ago had some crazy,
01:12:36.720 what does he call it? The, um, Palestine rights literary festival, um, in which they,
01:12:44.200 they were advocating, he says the cleansing, the ethnic cleansing of Jews. So it's a problem.
01:12:50.460 That's a problem. Yeah. So he wrote a letter to his university where again, I mean, this is a power
01:12:55.960 player. He's the, he's the chair of the board of overseas series of the Wharton school at UPenn
01:13:00.280 and the CEO of Apollo global management, which is just a behemoth. Um, something said, I read somewhere
01:13:06.800 he, I think he, he, uh, and his wife donated $50 million to UPenn or Wharton. So this is a player.
01:13:13.600 He's got 50 million bucks to spare. And he writes them a letter saying, this is bullshit. I object to
01:13:19.080 your festival calling for the ethnic cleansing. They wouldn't print his letter in the school paper.
01:13:26.640 They wouldn't print it. So he went to Barry Weiss at the free press and God bless the free press.
01:13:32.620 Uh, Barry Weiss is version of it. At least they printed the letter in which he not only says to
01:13:39.100 all of the alumni, close your checkbooks, take your checkbook out. Instead of writing that $50
01:13:43.400 million check, write a check for $1 so that they know you, you heard them. You didn't go off the
01:13:49.160 face of the map. You're just sending a message with your $1 check. And he called for the university
01:13:54.680 president, Liz McGill and the chairman of the board, Scott Bach to resign. He was like, we have gone too
01:14:01.280 far that you would allow this, that you wouldn't condemn this. And then critically, he says the
01:14:07.020 following, this is the best part. You should go to the free press and read the whole thing.
01:14:10.560 He writes, he rips on them for creating a culture of intimidation and fear of speaking out against
01:14:15.620 this status quo. And then he goes on to say, the responsibility also rests with many of our alumni,
01:14:21.380 leaders, and trustees, myself included, who have sat by quietly as the pursuit of truth,
01:14:27.040 the ostensible mission of our elite institutions was traded for a poorly organized pursuit of social
01:14:34.180 justice and political correctness. Ultimately, we must change the culture that allows this to take
01:14:40.320 place, a culture that does not deserve our financial support. They're starting to get it. What a cancer
01:14:47.380 this obsession with identity politics has created.
01:14:51.900 It's stunning. In the social engineering that's conducted by a handful of these admissions
01:14:58.660 people at universities around the country is really, really troubling. And I don't know if you
01:15:06.360 saw this, Megan, we were talking about it earlier, but there was a guy who, let me just read you his
01:15:12.060 stat line. Despite earning a 3.97 unweighted and 4.42 weighted GPA, scoring 1590 out of 1600 on the
01:15:21.000 SAT and founding his own e-signing startup, RabbitSign, in his sophomore year, this guy with an Asian
01:15:28.640 background was rejected by the 16 colleges he applied to. So there is a lot wrong with higher
01:15:36.720 education in this country. And hopefully what's starting at Penn, where you talked about, hopefully
01:15:44.480 that has an impact and ripple effect around the country.
01:15:48.040 I just worry about what this means for our society for the next 10 years, 30 years, the rest of our
01:15:53.120 lives, really. To Smug's point earlier, they basically set up this parallel economy where
01:15:58.900 our meritocracy is dead, right? And it's activist-based and you're rewarded by the billionaires
01:16:05.520 who fund left-wing outfits like Arabella Advisors and whatnot. And you get a grant and then your rest of
01:16:10.540 your life is taken care of. And you never have to think about having to make a real dollar in your
01:16:14.320 entire life. You pair that with what Ashbrook said, which is the social engineering component,
01:16:18.460 where the guy who gets a perfect score on his SATs can't get into any of the schools because he's
01:16:22.480 Asian, right? And you combine those two things and you got to be very concerned that if we don't stand
01:16:29.160 up to this now, not just like the Apollo Global Management guy did to the Wharton School, but to the
01:16:36.300 corporations who help fund this stuff, the BLM radicals who are pro-Hamas. If we don't stand up with
01:16:42.340 our checkbooks and our voice to push back on these people hard now, it may be too late.
01:16:48.380 If you don't print the letter of the guy whose name is on probably the gymnasium and the new science
01:16:54.540 building and who runs Apollo, who's got a deep pocket for future donations, there's something wrong.
01:17:00.320 I mean, you've been captured for sure. You know what? It just gave me an idea. I want to start an
01:17:04.040 organization. Maybe I'll ask Barry Weiss because she's so good at starting things. I want to start an
01:17:08.100 organization for students who don't go to these schools. We have to find schools like maybe
01:17:13.520 University of Chicago, although they're not as great as they used to be, but they're better on
01:17:17.340 free speech. Maybe University of Florida, where Senator Ben Sasse just put out the perfect letter
01:17:21.720 responding to the violence in Israel against the Israelis. The perfect. It's not hard. Read his
01:17:28.060 letter and then do that, university professors, where we find the universities that they don't have
01:17:32.460 to be right wing, but that are just still reasonable and actually do promote free speech and don't hire
01:17:37.400 terrorist sympathizers. And then we encourage people to send their children. Don't go to Harvard.
01:17:42.920 Don't go to Berkeley. Don't go to Columbia. Don't don't go to these schools that are voicing this
01:17:48.400 stuff on your kids and trying to indoctrinate them and leftist ideology, hateful leftist ideology.
01:17:53.700 You go to these other schools. And then in my in my idea, my new organization, you guys can help me do
01:18:00.460 it. And what we do is we go to those schools and we become a funnel for the schools who are at these
01:18:06.700 allegedly second tier, but actually first tier universities to the Apollos of the world, to the
01:18:11.860 Winston and Strauss of the world, you know, to all these global firms that are normal, but have been
01:18:18.460 sucked in by the oh, they have to come from Harvard, but are secretly realizing no shit, we don't want the
01:18:22.800 ones from Harvard. It's a nightmare. And we help them. You know, you know what? Oh, you're amazingly
01:18:29.120 smart. Oh, but you're Asian at our firm that that second line won't be there. Right. Oh, but you're
01:18:36.260 a white guy. Oh, we're you know, it's like back in like the 1950s. We hire whites. Only this time
01:18:43.940 you mean it as an affirmative action program. It's insane. Right. But like we need some sort of a funnel
01:18:50.560 that makes it OK for these students to reject these asshole schools and go to a school that's not going to
01:18:56.600 indoctrinate them and know that they have an Apollo waiting for them on the other side.
01:19:02.160 Yeah, I mean, I think for a long time, it's been a concern of what social engineering is taking place
01:19:07.440 in the admissions process. Harvard was sued by Asian students and families because they've
01:19:12.680 essentially been extremely racist in their admissions process of they said that Indian people
01:19:17.660 don't have a likable personality. So they would downrank them based on that, even though they can have
01:19:22.720 a perfect SAT score and a perfect GPA. Inherently, they say there's something flawed about these
01:19:27.520 Asian students, so we don't want them here. So the fact that universities are doing this kind of woke
01:19:32.180 social engineering means, you know, let's say you have a graduate of a med school from one of these
01:19:36.940 places. Do you think you're getting the best possible care or is this someone who wrote an essay
01:19:41.580 that appealed to the BLM, you know, admissions officer? So now in the end, you don't know what you're
01:19:48.620 getting out of these schools. So that level of quality that used to be associated with,
01:19:51.620 oh, they're an Ivy League graduate. Now it's like, oh, what? Are they a terrorist? Do they
01:19:54.940 support Hamas? You don't know what you're getting there. Well, I mean, this Rhino Workman, who was
01:20:00.240 the head of the Student Bar Association at NYU, who now got her offer withdrawn from Winston and
01:20:04.840 Strachan. She was clearly, to me, a diversity hire because she sounds like an idiot. So I don't
01:20:09.020 know how else you get in NYU law. You must be a diversity applicant, whatever. And she goes by
01:20:14.940 they them. So the irony of this idiot supporting Hamas as a they them. It's like that gays for
01:20:23.920 Palestine thing online where people keep tweeting, who's going to tell them? Guess how it'll go for
01:20:29.700 you, Reina. Yeah, they want to throw you off for Gaza. Yeah, it's wild. It's wild. I mean, that is
01:20:38.440 sort of the strangest part of this leftist ideology is the cognitive dissonance that these people can
01:20:43.340 operate in. And it's because they view the entire world as an intersectional that they can somehow
01:20:48.740 yada, yada, yada, the really important part that like, no, there are some principles that are supposed
01:20:53.240 to matter in a Western liberal democracy. And they just form these coalitions of things that are
01:20:58.320 completely divergent. Right. And I mean, it's it goes back to what we talked about earlier in the
01:21:03.600 show, where there's a lot of people who are prominent Democrats who happen to be Jewish, who are
01:21:08.240 appalled by this stuff. It's like, well, wait, wake up. Who did you think these people were?
01:21:16.520 Exactly right. The by the way, just a couple of great ones out of the Babylon Bee. All right,
01:21:23.400 standby. Here's one Palestinian flag outside of Rashida Tlaib's office seen throwing pride flag off
01:21:30.420 the roof. Here's another one from the Babylon Bee. Harvard student leaves lecture, leaves lecture on
01:21:38.860 microaggressions to attend kill the Jews rally. That's exactly it. Yeah. They have such a good
01:21:46.780 ability of like capturing the absurdity. All right, quick break. And we've got to talk about the about
01:21:51.340 politics just a little because there are some interesting polls. And I want to talk about what's
01:21:55.040 happening in the house in the time we have left. Don't go away. More with the guys from ruthless.
01:21:58.700 Next, the fellas. Okay, so let's talk presidential politics right now because the polls are really
01:22:08.940 interesting. Fascinating state polls out of Pennsylvania would point out that this one
01:22:13.900 released from Emerson College is of registered voters, which, as you guys know, not really that
01:22:18.980 great. It's much better to have likely. But the registered voters poll shows taken before, by the way,
01:22:25.320 the stuff that's happened in Israel, shows Trump in Pennsylvania up nine percentage points over Biden.
01:22:32.960 Nine in Pennsylvania, which Biden won the last time. Then let's go over to Michigan, a poll out of
01:22:41.260 Marketing Resource Group, which, for what it's worth, has a B.C. rating from 538. That's Nate Silver's
01:22:50.980 group that assesses all polls. They are showing Trump up seven in Michigan over Biden. Now, that's
01:22:59.060 just two swing states. And I pointed out that the polls have a couple of weaknesses to them. But
01:23:05.500 that's amazing news for Trump as of today. Not only is he crushing everybody in the GOP field now,
01:23:12.360 I mean, up nine in Pennsylvania, guys. Yeah, he is really, really strong right now. And he only seems
01:23:19.800 to be gaining gaining steam. And a Trump margin like that is not just good for him. It's good for
01:23:27.680 all Republicans, because we have down ballot races in both Pennsylvania and Michigan that matter very,
01:23:34.140 very much in the Senate. We've got this guy, Dave McCormick, who's running in Pennsylvania.
01:23:38.920 He is a great candidate running against Bob Casey, who's been there way too long and has sort of
01:23:43.920 lived a charmed life every cycle, winning easy races in good cycles for Democrats. If Trump is
01:23:49.660 winning Pennsylvania by that much, Dave McCormick, who some argue will run ahead of Trump, Dave McCormick
01:23:55.200 will win that Senate race. And if we're winning there, and if Trump is ahead in Michigan, as far as he's
01:24:00.340 ahead in Michigan, we get this guy, Mike Rogers, who's running as a Republican, former congressman
01:24:05.280 there. He's running against like this liberal, Alyssa Slotkin for an open seat. Trump is leading
01:24:12.820 in Michigan. We're going to win the Senate race in Michigan. So a big Trump lead, if he can sustain
01:24:18.480 it, which I think these guys will poke holes in, if Trump can sustain a lead like that, it's very,
01:24:25.500 very good for Republicans across the map. Yeah, I mean, before we've had the four criminal trials.
01:24:29.980 So there's, there's that, but yes, go ahead, Duncan. Right. I mean, there's the four criminal,
01:24:34.220 this is a snapshot before the four criminal trials, obviously a lot can, can change. I also worry
01:24:39.660 sometimes with Trump. And I mean, this is not the first experience we've had with this, but like
01:24:45.040 he does spoil his own good fortune sometimes, you know, um, I saw a clip of him just yesterday,
01:24:51.840 uh, you know, talking about how smart, uh, Hezbollah was and criticizing Netanyahu in Israel.
01:24:58.520 Uh, nobody wants to hear that right now, you know? And I get it. It's like Trump,
01:25:02.600 Trump just does this thing where he just, he's up there and he's riffing and he's just sort of
01:25:06.060 trying material. And I know he doesn't mean it sometimes, but like he just stomps on his own
01:25:11.160 story. And it should be a great week for him where the American people are reminded that under his
01:25:16.060 leadership, we were strong in the world. We were respected in the world and he didn't handle,
01:25:19.400 he didn't take anyone's shit, you know? I mean, Soleimani is, uh, you know, that general from
01:25:24.380 Iran is conducting all these proxy wars across the Middle East. And what, what did Donald Trump do?
01:25:29.620 He turned him into salsa, right? That's how Donald Trump posted the American flag on Twitter.
01:25:34.380 Right. Right. Right. And so if you're, if you're, if you're a voter, uh, you know, who, who maybe was
01:25:39.340 on the fence about supporting Donald Trump again, or, you know, an independent voter or somebody like
01:25:42.900 that, like Americans just sort of like viscerally want somebody who's strong to be in the
01:25:49.400 Oval Office. They know the burdens of the job and being the leader of the free world. And Joe
01:25:54.340 Biden has failed at that so many times that this is like the easiest layup for Donald Trump.
01:25:58.780 I hope he can sustain it. The thing I'm calling Hezbollah smart, I'll give him a pass on that.
01:26:03.140 Cause he was trying to say, why would the Biden administration openly say, we're really worried
01:26:07.360 about the North of Israel and Lebanon and Hezbollah coming in and exploiting this conflict.
01:26:11.940 That's what we're really worried about. He's, he was saying Hezbollah smart, they're listening.
01:26:17.560 That's dumb to, to openly broadcast. So like, I'll give him a pass on that, but there's no question
01:26:22.200 he attacked BB, um, at a time of most, you know, incredible stress and vulnerability for Netanyahu.
01:26:28.340 Um, and when he doesn't need it, he does like Trump didn't need to do it. Netanyahu didn't need to hear
01:26:34.240 it. Here it is. It's of course, because Trump was mad that Netanyahu said Biden won and Trump lost the
01:26:41.920 presidential election. So Trump starts to bring up how, while the Israelis helped us find Soleimani
01:26:47.600 before we bombed him, I guess on the eve of that bombing, they didn't want to help, which I think is
01:26:53.100 the first we've learned of this, but in any event, here's, here it is in SOT 7. I'll never forget
01:26:58.340 that BB Netanyahu let us down. That was a very terrible thing. So we were disappointed by that,
01:27:04.640 very disappointed, but we did the job ourself and it was absolute precision, magnificent,
01:27:09.400 beautiful job. And then, uh, BB tried to take credit for it. That wasn't good. That didn't make
01:27:17.040 me feel too good, but that's all right. I mean, honestly, smug, the problem is everything is about him.
01:27:23.100 Yeah. Everything relates back to him. I think it's just like these guys have described as sometimes
01:27:28.460 he can have the problem of being his own worst enemy, especially in this new cycle where,
01:27:33.020 you know, immediately following the Biden administration, trying to spike the football
01:27:37.160 on giving Iran money. Now I ran back to terrorists, go in and kill innocent civilians in, uh, Israel.
01:27:44.700 And so at this moment should be like Trump having complete strength on that subject. And then he goes
01:27:51.020 and just completely models the message. That's, that's a huge issue that he has continually.
01:27:55.740 And I think, uh, his campaign should really, you know, cause he's got a great campaign team,
01:28:01.080 a very serious campaign team, uh, on this cycle. They really need to make sure that he stays focused
01:28:06.880 because right now Americans it's become clear Biden's doing it. Yeah. It's very clear that Biden's
01:28:12.320 doing a terrible job, uh, as president. And this country is not being respected around the world,
01:28:17.640 but for him to just like, for, for Trump to jump off message like that's just a huge unforced error.
01:28:22.920 Yeah. And I think it's also benefiting timing. It's benefiting some of the other Republican
01:28:27.200 presidential candidates. And, you know, they're obviously way behind in the polls, but previously
01:28:33.380 in a lot of the national polling, uh, in a head to head with Biden, most of the other candidates were,
01:28:38.360 you know, three, four, three, four points back and Trump was winning by two or tied or,
01:28:43.760 or what have you. But I saw the Fox news, uh, poll, uh, today, you know, where, where DeSantis
01:28:50.420 is leading, Nikki Haley's leading as well. I think it reflects, yeah, that, that all of those candidates
01:28:56.200 Trump isn't Trump's Trump's losing by one though. It's within the, the three point margin of error.
01:29:00.280 It's all, it's all in the margin. I think, especially when you're doing with these early
01:29:03.420 polls and registered voter polls, it reflects like a broad sentiment. It's not the most accurate,
01:29:08.120 obviously, but what I think it reveals here is that the American people just want leadership
01:29:13.420 that isn't Joe Biden. Mm-hmm. I think, I think that's right. And, you know, uh, it's been well
01:29:18.020 reported that president Trump is not wild about the fact that a bunch of people are running to
01:29:22.740 challenge him for the nomination, but I do think he would, it would benefit him to listen to some of
01:29:28.760 them, including this guy, Doug Burgum. We've talked about him on your show before we've talked
01:29:32.980 about him on our, let me just read. He's like John Wayne. Let me just read you Doug Burgum's statement
01:29:38.780 about what's going on in the middle East. He says countries like Qatar and Turkey that support
01:29:43.320 Hamas should have 24 hours to give up their agents, close offices and cut off support,
01:29:48.380 or we should close our airspace to Qatar airways and Turkish airlines if they refuse.
01:29:54.180 I mean, that is something that is very specific. That sounds like John Wayne. And it's like,
01:29:58.900 it's the kind of thing that if, if president Trump got specific about the enemy and played offense
01:30:05.580 against the enemy, instead of like talked about what happened months ago or who he doesn't like,
01:30:10.880 you know, like sometimes that's funny, but sometimes in a very, very serious situation like
01:30:15.220 that, it requires a very serious response like Burgum provided. It's a really good point,
01:30:19.720 Ashbrook. And I'm glad you brought it up because it's, it's the sort of outside the box thinking
01:30:24.660 that Donald Trump was the best at in 2016, where it's not just, Oh, well, you know, our diplomats will
01:30:31.100 meet with your diplomats and we'll, we'll have these, uh, discussions about what's an appropriate way to
01:30:35.500 respond, but like taking it outside of that diplomacy and going directly into the economic
01:30:39.420 sphere and saying, no, you know what, if you're going to keep doing this, we're going to go ahead
01:30:42.560 and we're going to punish your economy. We're going to punish your airlines that want to fly over
01:30:46.720 here. It's the sort of thing Donald Trump did so well in 2016. To your point, if he had that
01:30:51.240 specificity again, I think he'd be, he'd be killing it. You know, you know, it's all, the whole thing is
01:30:56.620 very confusing. And I think what could help solve it is a Venn diagram. I think that could really be
01:31:02.440 helpful. This is, this is what our sitting vice president uses to solve all of her problems.
01:31:07.140 We've talked before about how she's obsessed with the Venn diagram. She went before these remarks that
01:31:11.600 we mentioned the other day or earlier in the show. Uh, she was down in Charleston and she made a comment
01:31:16.900 first about the Venn diagram, which she freaking loves. Okay. So just listen to Sot 8 to set it up.
01:31:22.440 So I'll tell you one of the things about me. So I'm kind of a nerd on certain levels about certain
01:31:27.820 things. So here's one reveal. I love Venn diagrams. I love Venn diagrams. I'm telling you,
01:31:38.780 whenever I'm facing like a conflict and I need to sort it out, give me a Venn diagram every day of
01:31:44.720 the week. Right. Oh my God. She's an idiot. I mean, so she was at Charleston. She's on a college
01:31:50.420 campus tour. So that's number one. Okay. So you can see like the two interviewers are like,
01:31:54.400 what? Yeah. And then for the first time, I think she explains exactly how she uses the Venn diagram
01:32:02.460 in, in her position. Listen, I asked my team, I said, let's, let's do a Venn diagram. Show me from
01:32:11.700 which States are we seeing attacks on voting rights, LGBTQ rights and reproductive health rights.
01:32:21.140 And you would not be surprised to know there was a significant overlap. And so that's
01:32:29.560 scary and obviously troubling, but there's, there's also a bright side to, to that knowledge that we
01:32:36.080 have, which is great coalition building opportunity. Let's put her in charge of the Middle East.
01:32:44.480 Yeah. Yeah. I'm not surprised that someone who's so bad with words needs, you know, visual aids to get
01:32:52.620 through the day. Uh, it's not really surprising at all, actually. It's incredible. Um, all right.
01:32:59.880 I've got to ask you quickly in the time we have left, what's going to happen in the house speaker
01:33:03.400 race. They say it's going to be Steve Scalise. That's who they've settled. And he beat Jim Jordan in
01:33:08.020 the, in the vote, but the GOP conferences seems to be divided right down the middle. And there's a
01:33:13.500 real question about whether Steve Scalise has the votes because he needs all the votes. He can only
01:33:18.980 lose five, right? He can only lose four. He can't lose five if he wants to be speaker. So what's going
01:33:23.260 to happen? Yeah. I don't, I don't know any that anybody can, can, can know right now what is going
01:33:29.080 to happen. It seems like to me, I don't know about you guys, but it seems like to me that after they had
01:33:33.980 that, uh, you know, private meeting of the conference and then they voted for who they
01:33:38.040 wanted to basically designate as the majority of Republicans want so-and-so. And it was obviously
01:33:42.660 Steve Scalise, but it seems like since then, cause they're obviously going to have a vote on the floor
01:33:46.720 here that the inertia sort of stopped a little. And now you're hearing people talking about maybe
01:33:52.120 McHenry, right. Or, um, you know, maybe Tom Emmer, um, or obviously Jim Jordan, who's also in the race.
01:33:59.800 It's sort of unclear. I just wish Republicans would get their act together with all this crazy
01:34:04.540 stuff happening in the world. It feels like such small ball to be bickering amongst ourselves.
01:34:09.440 And it's just, everybody wants to make this like a struggle session and fucking therapy about how
01:34:15.260 things weren't fair to them. And it's like, I don't give a shit. We got the world on fire.
01:34:19.720 Blinken is in Tel Aviv and, and we're here crying amongst ourselves, read the room and get your act
01:34:24.760 together. Yeah. I mean, I've been making this quite repeatedly. The most critical thing is
01:34:29.040 get a speaker, get the conference United because having a Republican and a single voice who can
01:34:35.280 speak for the conference and call out all these terrible decisions that the Biden administration
01:34:39.040 has made and all these failures, leaving Americans behind. This happened in Afghanistan.
01:34:43.620 That wasn't just, you know, a one-time thing. They're leaving them behind now in Israel,
01:34:47.340 25 Americans now being reported as killed in Israel. The families have not heard from the Biden
01:34:53.460 administration. So they would, you know, if Republicans had a singular voice to attack the
01:34:57.740 administration, we'd have a strong position of strength. That's what needs to be done.
01:35:01.300 Yeah. Yeah. Just, just to update that number, John Kirby just updated 27 Americans killed,
01:35:06.060 14. Yeah. Go ahead, Ashbrook. I'll give you a quick last word.
01:35:10.840 Well, I think that puts this fine a point on it as anything that it's time for the House
01:35:14.860 Republicans to get serious and stop whining amongst themselves behind closed doors and
01:35:18.520 just pick somebody, just somebody and get back. Somebody. I'm going to get a t-shirt to somebody.
01:35:24.460 Just pick somebody. Speak or somebody. I pick you guys. Come back anytime. It's great to have you
01:35:28.940 guys. All the best. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks for listening to The Megan Kelly Show.
01:35:35.000 No BS, no agenda, and no fear.
