00:10:42.180Okay, speaking of religion, major international incident yesterday.
00:10:46.120got everybody chattering on the brink of Holy Week. The headline that caused truly a global
00:10:54.800uproar is that the government of Israel prohibited the top bishop in Jerusalem,
00:11:00.800Cardinal Pete Zabala, he's the Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, from entering the church of the
00:11:05.660Holy Sepulchre on Palm Sunday. Palm Sunday is the day when Christ enters as a king into Jerusalem.
00:11:11.620It kicks off the beginning of Holy Week, which will end with the crucifixion on Good Friday, followed by Holy Saturday, and obviously followed by the resurrection on Easter Sunday.
00:11:23.940Major outcry that this was a Christian persecution by the Israeli government.
00:11:28.600Then you had ardently, I won't even just say regular pro-Israel people, but ardently, zealously, perhaps unreasonably pro-Israel people who were attacking the cardinal.
00:15:11.060He's obviously the U.S. ambassador to Israel.
00:15:13.120He says, while all holy sites in the old city are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings, including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel National Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierre Battista Pizzaballa and three other priests from entering the church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach, already having major repercussions around the world.
00:15:35.880Homefront command guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less.
00:15:38.780The four representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction.
00:15:42.080Statements from the government of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal
00:15:45.000Pizzaballa entry to the church of the Holy Sepulchre were for safety reasons,
00:15:48.800but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or
00:15:53.260less. For the patriarch to be barred from entry to the church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony
00:15:57.820is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the patriarch
00:16:03.020to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities. Okay. Mike Huckabee is a really
00:16:09.300nice guy. And he's very, very pro-Israel and he's very diplomatic. This is as tough a statement as
00:16:15.980you are ever going to get, saying the Israeli government just blew it here, followed up by
00:16:23.340the most pro-Israel person in the United States Senate. Self-defined that way. My friend,
00:16:31.940Senator Ted Cruz, also not Catholic, he's a Southern Baptist, comes out, he says,
00:16:36.080Ambassador Huckabee is correct. This was a mistake by the Israeli police. The security concerns are
00:16:40.760real, but they should not have prevented the patriarch from entering the Church of the Holy
00:16:44.200Sepulcher to conduct the Palm Sunday blessing. I trust this mistake will be corrected quickly.
00:16:49.480Beyond just these two American politicians, do you know who else agrees with me and Huckabee
00:16:58.500and Cruz and the Latin patriarch and Catholics around the world, Christians around the world,
00:17:04.720the heads of state around the world. Do you know who else agrees? Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:17:11.040And Isaac Herzog. So you had the president of Israel and the prime minister of Israel
00:17:15.840coming out successively throughout the day and saying, hey, yeah, we blew it. Here's the comment
00:17:23.180from Netanyahu, who's the most powerful guy in Israel. I have instructed the relevant authorities
00:17:27.260that Cardinal Pier Batista Pizzabala, the Latin patriarch, be granted full and immediate access
00:38:21.780That's the real problem of mass migration.
00:38:25.100It's why Democrats are so eager for it.
00:38:27.860When you import a bunch of foreigners, that helps Democrats because the Democrats campaign on weakening the United States and bringing in lots of different people.
00:38:38.920It's no knock even on the particular people necessarily, but when you bring in lots of different people, that just weakens social solidarity, weakens the country.
00:38:45.620And the Democrats campaign on that pretty explicitly, and they benefit from that.
00:38:50.580So Democrats can either persuade people to vote for them, which they sometimes do to some degree, but they're not very good at it.
00:38:57.560And if you look at just ordinary native-born Americans in most places in the country, Democrats don't play very well with them.
00:39:04.920So they say, okay, well, we're going to change the demographics of the country.
00:39:08.420So when you look at recent immigrants or new immigrants or what, they do a lot better among them.
00:39:14.960And the thing is, when you run a campaign and you persuade a stable electorate of native-born Americans in one election,
00:39:23.020there's a decent chance that the other party is going to persuade him in the next election.
00:39:27.540And there's some stability even as the pendulum swings. When you just import new voters,
00:39:35.160that changes the demographics in perpetuity. And even if some of those immigrant groups
00:39:40.920do kind of come over over time, I mean, the Italians did this very well. The Italians split
00:39:46.160almost perfectly. So you got the Scalia's, but you got the Pelosi's too. You look at an Italian,
00:39:50.040and you can't really tell who they vote for. Other immigrant groups, that's not true.
00:39:54.240The vast majority of Latin American immigrants just vote Democrat. There's some exceptions.
00:39:58.960We love our Cubans. Our Colombians are pretty gettable for the conservatives. But generally,
00:40:05.100that's how it goes. You track it, and it's not just them. Obviously, most immigrants now come
00:40:09.180from Latin America, but you can track it with the other immigrant groups too. So you just can kind
00:40:13.340of tell, and that's what the Democrats are after. They say, look, Trump, he won at least two
00:40:18.560elections. That's unfortunate. But the Somalis are going to be here. Their grandkids are going
00:40:22.600to be here long after Trump is gone. That's true. That's the urgency of the immigration question.
00:40:28.160Also at a No Kings protest, Maisie Hirono, the Democrat senator from Hawaii, one of my absolute
00:40:33.380favorite characters out of the US Senate. Maisie Hirono made an accidental admission
00:40:39.400about No Kings. Maisie Hirono comes out. She tweets, Donald Trump is not, never will be,
00:40:48.560and has never been a king. Hashtag no kings.
00:40:54.800Did you catch the flaw in her argument? I mean, it's not, I guess it's just really an admission,
00:41:03.080but I thought when you use the hashtag no kings, the implication for the whole no kings protest
00:41:08.100is that Trump is a king. He has made himself into a king. He will further entrench himself
00:41:13.600as a king. We don't like Trump. We don't want kings. We're going to kick him out.
00:41:17.300And so Maisie Hirono, she says, yeah, guys, yeah, we don't want any kings here.
00:41:23.620And so Donald Trump is not, never will be, and never has been a king.
00:41:28.360So the whole protest is completely pointless.
