The NXR Podcast - THE LIVESTREAM - Two Years Since October 7th： Is Peace Finally Happening？

00:00:00.000 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.

00:00:03.960 I get it.

00:00:04.620 It's annoying.

00:00:05.380 Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.

00:00:07.660 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that

00:00:12.440 our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.

00:00:16.280 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries

00:00:20.820 aren't.

00:00:21.860 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.

00:00:30.000 It's October 7th. It is officially the two-year anniversary of October 7th, the attack on Israel.

00:00:41.840 And we have heard pretty much nothing but all the events between Iran and Israel and Hamas and all

00:00:49.000 the different things that have been conspiring over the last two years in the Middle East.

00:00:53.880 Now, here's something that I think is vital that all of us know. Hopefully, we probably all know

00:00:59.300 it by now, but just in case there's a few people over the last two years who have been hiding

00:01:02.780 under a rock, it is my great misfortune to inform you that all things political are ultimately

00:01:12.240 engineered by politicians, and that sadly includes even war. So when I think of the war and what is

00:01:20.080 currently underway right now in Gaza and has been underway for the last two years,

00:01:25.920 One important factor that everyone should be aware of is that, in my assessment,

00:01:31.800 Bibi Netanyahu, he wants this war.

00:01:35.260 He very arguably was on his way out.

00:01:39.460 Israel is actually not a huge fan of Netanyahu.

00:01:44.080 Even his own people have grown to despise him in many ways.

00:01:48.600 Not everyone, but many.

00:01:49.680 And even before the attack on October 7th in 2023, two years ago,

00:01:55.340 he was not polling so well with his own people. On the other hand, it is in the best interest of

00:02:03.340 Donald J. Trump that this war ends. He has a reputation in his first term, and really for the

00:02:11.400 last decade, one of his biggest accomplishments is achieving peace, world peace, and especially

00:02:17.860 in the Middle East. And we have seen, as this war has continued, that Donald J. Trump, his

00:02:23.820 polling numbers have plummeted. He is not as well liked as he was when he first was sworn into

00:02:31.640 office back in January. So Donald Trump very much is angry. And we're seeing that kind of rhetoric

00:02:38.440 and that sentiment from our president of the United States from time to time over these last 0.94

00:02:43.320 two years, not just I'm mad at Hamas or I'm mad at, you know, Islamic terrorists. But we've seen

00:02:49.580 some of the rhetoric of they, as in both sides, don't know what the F they're doing. That is a

00:02:55.920 quote from Donald J. Trump. And we're continuing to see that kind of rhetoric. From what people

00:03:02.720 are hearing on the ground, it seems as though Donald Trump is very, very done with Netanyahu. 0.99

00:03:09.700 And I think that that would be an incredibly, immensely positive development. That's something 0.97

00:03:14.760 that we can hope for. That's something that we can pray for. And in many ways, the people of

00:03:18.820 Israel themselves are done with Netanyahu. But if this war ends, when this war ends,

00:03:26.820 then it is going to be quite the challenge for Netanyahu to stay in office. It seems as though

00:03:33.260 this one particular politician has everything to gain by the war continuing and everything to lose

00:03:40.080 if peace is actually achieved. So there are a lot of developments that have transpired over the last

00:03:45.780 week and through the weekend. Peace seems to be a real possibility if certain individuals don't

00:03:53.120 mess it up. That's the episode that we're going to be talking about today, the anniversary,

00:03:57.740 two-year anniversary now of October 7th, what's transpiring, the angle and possibilities for peace,

00:04:05.020 and giving you guys a little bit of background about Netanyahu and why this might not be

00:04:10.540 might not be quite the saint that some people have called him to be tune in now

00:04:16.400 all right we're back there are some people in the chat and i thought as you said it i was like wait

00:04:30.020 but joel you're saying it's october 7th it's a two-year anniversary but hang on and i thought

00:04:34.380 about it i'm like wait a minute gosh darn it he's right it's midnight it's the seventh in the middle

00:04:39.200 east yeah so you were just thinking the locale of where it all occurred ahead of my time well and

00:04:44.360 it's not just where the war is transpiring and what time it is there it's also where we're

00:04:50.140 broadcasting from people will be like it's not october 7th joel doesn't know what he's talking

00:04:54.160 about you don't know where i am you don't under you're not you're not aware of this set could be

00:04:59.020 the secret right response bunker in antarctica right the place that's walled off that nobody

00:05:06.140 can go i'm not a flat earther i don't hate that position but i'm not a flat earther however the

00:05:12.720 idea that antarctica you know there's something up there that we're not allowed to see well one

00:05:17.280 of the things up there that you're not allowed to see is old saint nicholas and right response

00:05:21.600 ministries this base and it is actually october 7th where we are and some people are going to

00:05:26.420 fact check me on that and be like even in antarctica it's still not but i tried all right

00:05:31.280 all right to you so i'm going to go ahead and we're going to rewind the clock about a hundred

00:05:35.020 years to set the stage for really this whole war. So this has been the biggest war in the region

00:05:40.200 since pretty much, I would say, 1948. There's a couple of other times in the 60s and early 70s

00:05:45.480 that a real war broke out in the Middle East. And of course, it's called the Graveyard of Kings 0.94

00:05:49.640 for a reason. This is a place that has known war. The sands have absorbed so much blood down through

00:05:55.960 the millennia. But this specific war is, of course, prefigured by a number of political developments

00:06:00.960 that all led to this moment.

00:06:03.000 What we're witnessing isn't something,

00:06:04.700 my goodness, how could this be?

00:06:06.320 Or there's no precedent for it in history.

00:06:08.240 We're witnessing kind of the continual next stage

00:06:10.640 in an ongoing blood feud.

00:06:12.240 And a blood feud that's happened

00:06:13.300 because two people are claiming the right to the same land.

00:06:16.880 And when you have a blood feud,

00:06:18.300 generally, historically,

00:06:19.920 the way out of it has been ethnic cleansing.

00:06:22.860 So, well, why is this happening?

00:06:24.580 Well, it's because two people hate each other

00:06:26.060 and they are both claiming we own this land

00:06:28.640 and this land is ours.

00:06:29.920 And I think there's something to be said for examining and coming from steel manning the position of even the side that you disagree with.

00:06:37.640 There's another great series.

00:06:38.960 It's going to be 20 hours.

00:06:40.260 Our show today will be about an hour and a half.

00:06:42.280 But Daryl Cooper, Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem.

00:06:45.420 It's about 20 hours long.

00:06:46.820 He goes through the whole history and does a good job of doing it from both sides. 0.97

00:06:51.240 Because the reason there's an Israeli state today is that the Jews for over a millennia, they were getting their butts kicked all across Europe.

00:06:58.100 So there's about a millennia of different occurrences that they would get kicked out

00:07:02.380 of different countries, kicked out of different cities, persecuted here.

00:07:05.660 And we have to be honest, a good amount of it was maybe they were kicked out for usury. 0.97

00:07:09.040 So they would give high interest loans to Christians. 0.94

00:07:12.220 Christians were not allowed in the first Christendom to charge usury to one another. 0.99

00:07:16.020 But Jews, they were allowed to charge outsiders usury. 1.00

00:07:18.900 And Christians kind of appreciated the loop. 1.00

00:07:21.040 So they would get loans from Jews and they would be high interest. 1.00

00:07:23.800 And then you kind of realize like, well, we could actually just kick these people out 1.00

00:07:26.760 and we wouldn't owe them anything.

00:07:27.820 We've got the money. We have the recipes. These people can go. And so you have about a millennial.

00:07:32.880 We have the Mexican food recipes. We also have the recipe for usury. We know how to do it. We can do our own usury thing. 0.80

00:07:39.060 We've got the bagel recipe. We've got the lox recipe. We've got the usury recipe.

00:07:42.720 Real quick, speaking of reasons of Jews getting kicked out, 109 different reasons, usury is one of them. 1.00

00:07:48.840 Also, if you've ever wondered, why are there ridges on the sides of coins? 0.99

00:07:53.060 right so coin clipping was a thing and there were many people who did it but the jews were

00:07:58.620 infamous for the practice uh they coined the practice and uh and were you know fairly you

00:08:06.180 know fairly regular in in doing that um other people joined them along the way uh but i was

00:08:11.540 thinking you know i've heard a lot of talk about making a charlie kirk coin i've given this some

00:08:17.120 thought right i'm going to be careful with this but i think it needs to be said charlie kirk loved

00:08:21.380 him some Israel. And we both appreciate Charlie Kirk. We did a lot of episodes talking about

00:08:26.000 the tragedy of his assassination and everything that took place. I mean, honestly, I can't bring

00:08:35.460 myself really to believe that it was Tyler Robinson, or at least that he wasn't helped.

00:08:40.780 Maybe he was a piece of the puzzle or Patsy, but I definitely don't think that he pulled it off

00:08:46.060 alone. The details just don't seem to line up. But that said, that doesn't necessarily mean

00:08:51.360 that Bibi Netanyahu himself was, you know, hiding in a building. So I'm not necessarily going that

00:08:56.420 far either. But it is a bit fishy. But what I was going to say is this. Charlie Kirk loved him some

00:09:03.320 Israel. We appreciate him. He did a lot of good things. But that's one thing that we would

00:09:07.100 staunchly disagree with, his infatuation for Israel. And yes, I understand that towards the

00:09:12.200 end of his life, he was starting to sour on some of his positions with Israel and starting to say

00:09:16.340 some different things. And it's, you know, it certainly is intriguing to think where that

00:09:22.340 trajectory would have eventually ended up. And who's to say? I don't know. And there are plenty

00:09:28.380 of people who say that they do know, but nobody really has produced receipts. Like, well, I talked

00:09:33.300 to Charlie personally, and I have all these text messages. Well, we've yet to see those. And so

00:09:38.700 who's to say where he would have ended up? But it is true that even in his public rhetoric over

00:09:44.000 the last couple months of his life, he definitely was souring on Israel in terms of this war in

00:09:50.120 Gaza, and seemed to be souring on Netanyahu in particular. But if there was a Charlie Kirk coin,

00:09:58.060 in the spirit of Charlie Kirk, maybe not the last two months, Charlie Kirk, where he's starting to

00:10:01.780 shift in his rhetoric on Israel, but Charlie Kirk, as we knew him, his decade-long, you know,

00:10:06.900 public life, being a massive, powerful advocate for Israel, I think that the Charlie Kirk coin

00:10:13.780 should have no ridges i just think that that would be a great way to just i think it's fitting he

00:10:19.100 loved he loved israel he believed in those guys and so uh in in honor of charlie kirk we're going

00:10:26.040 to have one coin without ridges get it out there circulate it and just see how long it lasts before

00:10:31.600 that bad boy where you start getting nickels and you're like wait a second pieces yep and and it

00:10:36.600 would really prove a lot of things so that's what coin clipping is for anyone like what does that

00:10:39.980 I mean, it's literally shaving the edges of it.

00:10:42.600 So you're able to, if I gave you a quarter,

00:10:44.800 the quarter's supposed to weigh how many grams?

00:10:46.300 And back in the day when it's actually made out of silver.

00:10:49.240 So it's precious metal.

00:10:50.700 And you're shaved.

00:10:51.280 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:51.840 Tiny little bits of it off so you can melt it down

00:10:53.880 and technically pay people less. 1.00

00:10:56.400 It's honestly the most Jewish thing I've ever heard. 1.00

00:10:58.880 You've got to admire the hustle. 1.00

00:11:00.340 I could go out.

00:11:00.960 I could work a job.

00:11:02.060 I could be productive.

00:11:03.580 Or I could sit here for six hours and I could clip and peel coins

00:11:06.860 to make an extra five bucks.

00:11:07.980 Just a little shaving, little shaving, little shaving.

00:11:09.980 or charge a little interest, little interest, little interest.

00:11:12.620 It's taking something, contributing nothing, right?

00:11:15.760 But taking something that somebody else built

00:11:17.940 and thinking, hey, somebody built something.

00:11:20.920 How can I somehow benefit from what they built?

00:11:24.120 That's usury.

00:11:25.100 That's coin clipping.

00:11:26.060 That's a whole lot of different things

00:11:27.720 that many people, again, have been involved in.

00:11:30.340 But historically speaking,

00:11:31.940 Jews have been very involved in those practices.

00:11:34.840 So for reasons, like we just mentioned,

00:11:36.320 some of them very valid, 0.89

00:11:37.520 some of them very violent and unchristian, 0.63

00:11:39.460 number of programs, number of anti-Semitism programs across Europe, the rise of nationalism

00:11:43.920 in Europe in the 1800s, a movement emerges called Zionism. Now, most peoples, when they're, for 0.79

00:11:49.340 example, taken captive, they're spread over the earth, most of them typically intermarry and they

00:11:53.600 disappear. The Jews are actually an incredible story kind of through the millennia, that it was

00:11:57.620 through kind of keeping money in-house, keeping marriage, intermarriage only within the clan,

00:12:02.680 that they actually survived for over a thousand years as an insular group. Now, their continuity

00:12:06.920 with the Jews of the Bible, with Abraham's seed,

00:12:10.000 that's ambiguous at best.

00:12:11.460 I don't think anyone has a claim to say.

00:12:13.420 And we've kept our line, we've kept our records

00:12:15.780 all the way from the time of Abraham.

00:12:17.500 Those were destroyed at the temple.

00:12:19.200 So you certainly have a group of people. 1.00

00:12:20.680 Real quick, that's vital.

00:12:22.120 The birth records were kept in the temple in 8070

00:12:25.820 when Titus sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple

00:12:29.480 so that the prophecies of Jesus in Matthew 24,

00:12:32.240 the Olivet Discourse, were fulfilled word for word,

00:12:35.800 not one stone left on another right these stones of the temple were inlaid with gold and so the

00:12:42.140 romans actually took each stone apart and shaved off the gold right so it's similar to you know

00:12:47.600 it's like we can do it too now we can do it too right so there's lots of whether you're clipping

00:12:52.040 silver with coins or shaving gold off of stones these practices are ancient and and there's quite

00:12:58.000 a heritage there but but in the temple that's where the birth records were kept and so records

00:13:03.960 began anew, but you have, you know, arguably close to about a 300-year gap.

00:13:10.920 Ashkenazi Jews emerged about 600 to 700 is the earliest as an insular self-defined group.

00:13:15.900 In that case, you have, you know, you have a 600-year gap. But I've heard some guys argue

00:13:20.620 that some sectors, you know, some sectors, Jewish sectors, you know, could date back to like the

00:13:26.240 mid-300s. But my point is that even in that case, you still have this 300-year gap or Ashkenazi,

00:13:31.840 you have a 600-year gap. And so the idea of like, well, we are the direct, you know,

00:13:37.720 descendants, genetic descendants. No, like it's, look, you've rejected Christ. You've rejected

00:13:44.200 the covenant. There is no covenantal continuity whatsoever because the temple's destroyed.

00:13:49.660 You're not making sacrifices. You're not able to practice any of the old covenant practices

00:13:54.120 of Judaism. So covenantally, there's a disconnect. Genetically, there's no way to prove it. And it

00:14:01.460 matters because i think of the book of ezra which our church preached through you know um not that

00:14:05.580 long ago um in the book of ezra when when the israelites finally are released from captivity

00:14:10.780 in babylon after just 70 years this is just 70 years so maybe you know arguably two generations

00:14:16.440 they had to prove uh their pedigree in order to go back with ezra the priest and with nehemiah

00:14:23.460 with these guys to go back to israel to be a part of the restoration project to rebuild jerusalem

00:14:29.720 the walls, the temple, and all these things. They had to actually prove their pedigree with

00:14:34.500 documentation. They actually had to have the documentation. If they couldn't prove it,

00:14:39.160 then they didn't get to be a part of it. The ones that God selected to be a part of this

00:14:46.000 rebuilding of Jerusalem project after it had been dismantled for only 70 years, in this case,

00:14:52.840 still had to be genetically pure. They had to be of this genetic line, lineage.

00:14:59.720 And so for me, it's like, behold, I am the Lord, I changeth not, so that you, the sons of Jacob,

00:15:04.560 are not consumed. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. If God's standards are immutable,

00:15:09.080 unchanging, and he's the same God yesterday, today, and forever, why would he, for some reason,

00:15:14.020 have lower standards now than he had then? If 70 years, God looks at that and says, look,

00:15:22.080 you've been out of the land for 70 years, and those who are going to go back into the land as

00:15:26.780 my people and be a part of this covenant promise they actually have to be of this lineage this

00:15:32.120 line and they have to prove it with written documentation and not just their own word

00:15:36.360 their own say so um why would all of a sudden now in the new testament why would god say oh

00:15:43.740 600 year gap for ashkenazi jews nobody can prove it with any documentation that's fine right that's

00:15:50.620 just that's a different god that's a different standard that's a that's a different mechanism

00:15:55.600 So covenantally, there's no continuity.

00:15:58.280 Genetically, there's no way to prove continuity.

00:16:01.040 So in what way are the people in Israel today God's chosen people?

00:16:05.600 And of course, the answer is in no discernible way whatsoever.

00:16:09.660 Right.

00:16:10.240 So all that said, all that persecution, all the wandering around leads to a movement called Zionism in the 1800s,

00:16:15.900 specifically most located in Britain. 0.52

00:16:18.180 Affluent Jews had the money and they had the means.

00:16:20.540 And they began petitioning the British government for the right to have some land.

00:16:24.320 And so you think about different people dispersed in Britain and Germany and Italy, Russia.

00:16:29.560 There's a number of Jews there. 1.00

00:16:30.640 They were up to some nefarious things in the early 1900s. 0.99

00:16:33.640 But you had an international community. 0.89

00:16:35.120 I mean, Henry Ford, the international Jew.

00:16:37.160 And they always said, hey, to avoid the persecution we've been getting for hundreds of years at this point,

00:16:42.880 to avoid keeping it kicked out, to avoid all this persecution, we need our own land.

00:16:47.840 And it's interesting, early on, they didn't settle on Palestine initially.

00:16:50.820 They didn't start going immediately to the British government.

00:16:53.100 And Theodore Herzl, he's the author of The Jewish State.

00:16:56.080 He was a big rhetorician for the establishment of a Jewish homeland.

00:17:00.720 Initially, at one point in 1903, the British government said,

00:17:03.300 would you guys like Uganda?

00:17:04.600 And they're kind of working out, like, could Jews kind of settle here in Uganda?

00:17:08.160 There were some places in South America that were proposed.

00:17:10.820 And eventually, what was settled upon was,

00:17:13.180 why not literally just take back the land that we claim to have descended from?

00:17:17.420 Jews could claim, like, well, here's Jerusalem, 0.76

00:17:21.040 And here's the cities that David captured, the ones that Joshua conquered in Canaan.

00:17:26.020 And they had some level of claim to, again, just taking the name themselves, lacking the

00:17:30.500 covenantal, lacking the genealogy of continuity.

00:17:32.920 But still, they called themselves Jews. 0.92

00:17:34.880 They claimed a continuity of the practices and said, why not go for it all? 0.90

00:17:38.560 Why not ask?

00:17:40.180 Why not manipulate?

00:17:41.720 Why not give towards, donation, support, migration? 1.00

00:17:45.920 Why not Palestine? 0.64

00:17:47.000 And the big moment that this comes out is where there really actually gets to be momentum

00:17:51.060 behind it, is what's called the Balfour Declaration.

00:17:53.920 So Arthur Balfour is a British minister of foreign affairs, and he writes a letter to

00:17:58.720 Walter Rothschild in 1917, again it's called the Balfour Declaration, declaring that British

00:18:03.420 is going to actually support the settlement of Jews in Palestine as their permanent home.

00:18:08.620 This is from the letter, it says, His Majesty's government, that is the British government,

00:18:12.520 views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,

00:18:16.740 and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object,

00:18:21.760 it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done

00:18:24.100 which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine

00:18:28.600 or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

00:18:33.640 One obvious wrinkle in the plan was that there was a lot of people in Palestine already.

00:18:38.920 So you had British Jews that were lobbying the British government, lobbying elsewhere.

00:18:42.560 We would like our own homeland.

00:18:44.140 We would like to live in Palestine. 1.00

00:18:45.400 We want it all back. 1.00

00:18:46.200 We want Jerusalem. We want this area. It's ours. Can you give it back to us? Can we go there? Can we 0.99

00:18:50.920 settle? Obviously the big one, can we be self-governed? Now between 1917 and 1948, when the

00:18:57.640 state of Israel was established, just a little event happened known as World War II. And obviously

00:19:03.240 the Nuremberg trials in 1945, all that continues to lead to this point where internationally Jews

00:19:08.860 are saying, we want a homeland. We want to go somewhere and we would like this land. The United

00:19:14.680 Nations forms what's called Resolution 181. Resolution 181 essentially proposed, it wasn't

00:19:20.020 binding, it wasn't a decree. The UN is newly formed at the time. The UN proposes Resolution 181 that

00:19:25.500 says, what about a two-state solution? You have the Arabs that are there, and Jews have actually

00:19:30.260 begun to migrate. Germany kicked a number of them out. They went to Palestine. Others had gotten

00:19:35.060 word, hey, we're going to establish a Jewish state. So they had immigrated to Israel, and you obviously

00:19:39.460 had the Arabs there, and they'd actually already been engaged in a civil war since 1947. Do you

00:19:44.360 have the two factions there. They're starting to fight it out. It's kind of this civil war back and

00:19:48.100 forth. And the UN proposes, well, how about a two-state solution wherein the Arabs govern this 0.64

00:19:53.320 side, this part, the Jews have this part, and Jerusalem actually would kind of be under

00:19:58.020 international facilitated management. So you have their own governments here, their own governments

00:20:03.160 here in Jerusalem as a bit of a neutral middle site. The Arabs did not like it. The Jews were

00:20:07.400 like, yes, give it to us. And essentially the month that Britain basically relinquished control 0.94

00:20:12.560 of Palestine. Britain had control of Palestine from about 1920 to 1948. If you guys remember,

00:20:17.480 the British Empire at the beginning of the 1900s, it basically ruled the known world. And so they

00:20:21.760 had come to Palestine. It's funny, they said it was deemed unfit for self-governance. That's what

00:20:26.300 Britain had done in a lot of the world. They came to India. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and run 0.98

00:20:30.220 things. They came to Africa. We're going to go ahead and run things. And so they've been running 1.00

00:20:34.100 things in Palestine for about 25 years or so. And so it came to the end of the war and Britain's

00:20:38.900 empire has shrunk by this time, and essentially they relinquish control in accordance with the

00:20:44.100 Balfour Declaration. The UN comes out, hey, under this declaration, we would like to see Jews kind

00:20:48.480 of establish their own thing, and Israel seizes that opportunity. Ben-Gurion was the name of the 0.97

00:20:53.100 first Israeli president at the time. They stake their flag, and they declare themselves, we are

00:20:59.300 going to be the Jewish state here in Palestine. And it kicks off about a year-long war with the

00:21:03.580 Arabs that are there. There's a big consolidation, so the areas that the Jews claimed as theirs

00:21:07.640 obviously kicked out and ethnically cleansed the Arabs that were there. The Arabs fought back.

00:21:12.260 It lasted about a year until an armistice in 49. And from that point on, for the last, we're in 0.87

00:21:17.560 2025, so you're looking at about 75 years, there's been constant conflict with the Muslims in that

00:21:22.620 area. Because again, a group of people dropped themselves in and said, this is going to be our

00:21:28.840 land now, without the genealogical continuity. So these are not people that can prove, no, we

00:21:34.560 literally lived here. We were carried off here. We're directly descended from people who used to

00:21:38.560 live here. They don't have that. They, of course, don't have a temple. You have to realize, modern

00:21:43.040 Judaism, there's no temple. Think of Yom Kippur with sacrifices. Where did all Orthodox Jews 0.91

00:21:48.740 go and have their sins laid on? It was a goat. Where did that happen? Who did that? What high 1.00

00:21:54.320 priest? Oh, they don't have any. They don't have a priest. They don't have a temple. They don't have

00:21:58.400 a connection. And so this group of people plopped themselves down. They settled there. And I

00:22:03.140 understand for the record the impulse we want our own nation we've been persecuted here we've been

00:22:07.420 kicked out of here that one you know maybe a little bit our fault but in general we just want

00:22:11.700 a land to call our own well they got it in the last 75 years have basically been uh unending

00:22:16.660 conflict there was just the thing is there was other land it did not have to be it did not have

00:22:21.800 to be a land that was currently uh already inhabited where there would it would just be a

00:22:26.360 recipe for non-stop war the west is responsible uh great britain in large part but the united

00:22:32.360 states we immediately came out recognized israel as a state uh the west collectively is responsible

00:22:38.100 for putting them there and we made a decision that i i believe we shouldn't have and by putting

00:22:45.240 them there because we did it uh we have had to basically prop them up ever since uh whether it's

00:22:51.900 you know just financial funding billions and billions and trillions even of dollars you know

00:22:56.700 tax dollars going to israel uh having to mediate multiple wars donald trump now having to come and

00:23:02.960 try to mediate between iran you know and get hamas to come to the table and relinquish

00:23:07.240 you know uh they're you know the the hostages and all these different things we've it's it's

00:23:12.300 been 75 years of hell it's been 75 years of non-stop conflict and there were other solutions

00:23:18.960 palestine was not the only place madagascar somebody threw that you know threw that out

00:23:24.240 there as an option uh it was swiftly turned down but they believe uganda wasn't like let's do it

00:23:30.020 yeah make it happen there were other options um but we put here's an option in a place that's

00:23:34.820 highly contested assimilation yes assimilate to the people that you live with right like hey i

00:23:40.740 live in germany hey i live in britain a lot of british jews at the time were actually mad about

00:23:44.400 zionism because they were actually doing well they had assimilated to british culture to some

00:23:48.460 degree or another hopefully converted and they were just they were like no i call myself british 0.95

00:23:53.140 and you're over here actually coming in.

00:23:54.780 You're trying to drive a wedge.

00:23:56.640 Well, there's British people, and there's European people, 0.98

00:23:58.460 and there's Christian people. 1.00

00:23:59.800 I'm going to drive a wedge between, and there's the Jewish people, 1.00

00:24:02.460 and we will always forever be this separate column. 1.00

00:24:05.740 That's the big thing that you can do, and I think is biblical.

00:24:08.340 Our people got carried off.

00:24:09.640 We got carried off in judgment.

00:24:10.720 We were conquered. 0.52

00:24:11.300 We rejected our Messiah.

00:24:13.000 So instead of keeping as an in-group and enduring persecution

00:24:16.600 for thousands of years and having to move and never really being able,

00:24:20.000 this is why they did usury.

00:24:21.280 they they could never own land they couldn't have farms they were always they were always

00:24:26.240 in the margins they were never they were always guests and and very often unwanted guests but

00:24:33.080 guests and because they didn't have their own land you know they're always living somewhere else as

00:24:38.020 sojourners and there would be certain laws against them because they weren't the native people so

00:24:42.520 they wouldn't be allowed to own land or do this or do that so they had to set up shop and you know

00:24:47.100 and do usury and lending and, you know, other forms of ways of producing an income. But one

00:24:54.380 thing that they could have done all along over the last 2,000 years is exactly what you're saying.

00:24:59.000 I think that that's really insightful. They could have assimilated and said, look, God judged us

00:25:03.560 and God in his providence destroyed our country. He destroyed our nation because we rejected

00:25:11.360 God's Son. And that was God's judgment on us. His judgment was just, we're going to repent of our

00:25:18.400 sins, believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and assimilate into one of these dozens of Christian

00:25:24.120 countries where we've been welcomed, and the problem would have been solved. Absolutely.

00:25:29.780 Go ahead and take a look at this map here. This is now kind of a map. It's not perfect and doesn't

00:25:34.420 highlight the distinction, the West Bank. But when we talk about Gaza, and we talk about the Gaza

00:25:38.320 Strip and the West Bank. I think of the chant of leftist protesters on college campuses,

00:25:42.580 from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. And so you have the Jordan River there

00:25:46.720 on your right side in the east, all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. And this was what was

00:25:51.380 originally Palestine. It was called by Britain Mandatory Palestine. They just administered this

00:25:55.520 whole area. There was no Jewish state. There was no Arab state. But as it is now, you have the Gaza

00:25:59.740 Strip, which we'll get to in a minute, and then the West Bank. And the West Bank, Israel took over,

00:26:03.740 I think it was 2008. And they've been continually pushing out Gazans that live there. So

00:26:08.300 you had an area that was, again, mostly the Arabs, mostly the Gazans. They've taken it over. They've 1.00

00:26:12.920 administered it for a while. But the big point of contention is the existence of the Islamic

00:26:17.400 terrorist group Hamas down in the southern western corner. If you're not looking here on the map,

00:26:21.940 Gaza Strip is a tiny place. It's only got a couple cities, a couple towns with Gaza there in the

00:26:26.620 north. It's not huge. So it's this small little alcove that still remains Palestinian. And

00:26:32.480 politically and militarily, it's administered by an Islamic terrorist group known as Hamas,

00:26:37.740 which is an abbreviation from the Aramaic.

00:26:39.780 And they've existed there since about 1987.

00:26:42.660 They're probably an offshoot of the Islamic Brotherhood. 0.84

00:26:46.320 And there's no sugarcoating it or kind of half doing 50-50. 0.99

00:26:52.080 They've been a pain in Israel's butt for a long time. 0.98

00:26:54.740 Tunnel attack and rocket attacks have been the biggest one 0.99

00:26:57.580 because, as you can see, they're right there.

00:27:01.240 They're backed up to the sea.

00:27:02.580 They've got Egypt down there. 1.00

00:27:03.760 Egypt does not want them. 0.96

00:27:04.760 So Egypt's not there like, oh, our beloved brothers, we would love to help you. 0.96

00:27:09.700 Egypt doesn't want them. 0.98

00:27:11.100 Israel doesn't want them to exist at all.

00:27:13.020 You've got the sea over on that side.

00:27:15.040 And so that's where all of this contention comes to rest.

00:27:18.260 What do we do with the Gaza Strip?

00:27:20.280 The Gaza Strip, before the war at least, was incredibly populated.

00:27:24.400 It had the density greater than New York City.

00:27:27.800 Just squeezed in.

00:27:29.580 And this is not skyscraper city.

00:27:31.440 So you think of New York City where you have skyscrapers and condos.

00:27:33.780 I mean, literally just towering above the land. 0.99

00:27:37.520 Not really in Gaza.

00:27:38.780 I mean, these are not brilliant, high-achieving, high-GDP output. 1.00

00:27:43.480 They're native Palestinians, Arabs, mostly Muslims,

00:27:46.160 that have lived there for probably a couple thousand years,

00:27:49.200 and they're a nomadic people.

00:27:51.120 They're just, they live there, 0.65

00:27:52.860 and Islam has basically, again, through Hamas, 1.00

00:27:55.620 worked its way in.

00:27:56.340 It's their political system.

00:27:57.380 It's their military system. 0.96

00:27:58.760 They have control of that area.

00:28:00.200 let's go ahead and show some pictures of what how gaza has changed the last two years and i think

00:28:05.340 we'll go to our first commercial break and so we've got two of them the first one is going to

00:28:09.180 be a drone flyover so we'll go ahead and start with this one

00:28:30.200 absolutely decimated when i asked joel earlier he said i get that but to be fair did gaza look

00:28:54.580 like that before which is a valid question i'm going to show actually another this is a second

00:28:58.780 one. This is a before and an after of Gaza from two years ago, so summer 2023 before the October

00:29:04.140 7th attack, and then Gaza as of September of this year.

00:29:28.780 it looks like um reminds me of before and after pictures of la like a 2019 and then a 2021

00:29:36.960 oh yeah after the riots i feel like there are some american cities some parts of portland

00:29:42.300 some parts of chicago south chicago wait from the 70s and 80s or from coven

00:29:47.420 from uh from basically before the summer of love george floyd and then after um especially

00:29:54.340 indianapolis undoubtedly uh that is horrific that's absolutely horrific uh gaza has been

00:30:00.440 completely devastated and again you're talking about a place before the war that had the the

00:30:06.060 density the population density greater than new york city right more than anywhere else in the u.s

00:30:11.360 more people live per square mile and again not high performing high achieving high gdp productive 0.99

00:30:18.080 people but uh just kind of like the middle east they're muslims and they were packed in tight and 0.96

00:30:22.840 it has been pretty much leveled. This map will actually end with this before our segment break. 1.00

00:30:27.340 This is a map right now of Gaza. And so you have on the very outside, the IDF has complete control

00:30:32.840 now, the Gaza Strip on the outside. So you only have a couple gates. Imagine if you left getting

00:30:37.300 in to see family members, to go back, to get maybe things that you would have there. Very hard to do.

00:30:41.920 There's only a select number of access points to Gaza. This is also one of the ways to control 1.00

00:30:46.040 journalists, right? So a journalist cannot just come up from Egypt and get in there and see what's

00:30:50.680 going on. Everything around the perimeter is completely controlled by the IDF. The red zone

00:30:55.480 right there, so if you're watching, I would say about 30, 40 percent of it is covered in a red

00:30:59.460 zone. This is the place where the city, the land, totally decimated. We're talking complete ruin.

00:31:04.940 Nobody's still kind of living there. It has been completely ruined. And yellow is where, again,

00:31:09.640 you've got a lot of bombardment. You've got a lot of damage. But those are places where people are

00:31:13.820 still managing to live. So a lot of people that would have been in blue, been in red prior to the

00:31:17.660 war, they've been forced into the yellow area, understandably. Starvation, understandably. A lot

00:31:24.380 of difficulty. Hamas somewhere in there as prisoners, obviously. And that's where Israel

00:31:28.680 has been conducting strikes for essentially the last two years. Yeah. All right. Let's head to our

00:31:33.700 first commercial break and we'll get back and we'll talk now about the political ramifications

00:31:37.560 and fallouts from this. Hey, friends. Grey Toad Tallow is a family business making skin care the

00:33:04.840 America is a country that was founded for the purpose of allowing Christians to do their duty

00:33:08.420 before God and not to have their consciences ruled by the doctrines and commandments of men.

00:33:12.800 Reese Fund exists in order to see the Ten Commandments properly applied, not just as a

00:33:17.280 plaque on the wall, but to actually be used in business as though they're commandments from God

00:33:22.200 that we're supposed to obey. Our goal is to find businesses and to buy them and to build them up.

00:33:28.240 We want to find manufacturing businesses and use them to make sure that we can maintain our

00:33:32.620 capacity to do things here. Reese Fund, Christian Capital, boldly deployed.

00:33:40.780 All right. So on Friday, we were live when it happened. Hamas agreed tentatively to a peace

00:33:47.240 deal. Now, just as a reminder of October 7th, take a look at this that's on the screen here.

00:33:51.900 This was Operation Al-Aqwasa, blood against Israel.

00:33:55.980 These are where the attacks happened.

00:33:57.440 So remember I showed you the Gaza Strip.

00:33:58.840 It's in the southwest corner of modern-day Palestine.

00:34:02.660 And they basically struck out at Israel in their very near proximity.

00:34:06.780 So this is a very small amount of Israel.

00:34:08.480 They didn't strike Tel Aviv.

00:34:09.500 They didn't strike Jerusalem, for example.

00:34:12.060 And it was about 1,200 people total that died on October 7th.

00:34:15.100 We're coming up on the two-year anniversary of, and again, all the devastation,

00:34:19.020 everything that's happened to Gaza. 0.66

00:34:20.400 It's been in the wake of it.

00:34:21.380 Israel took that as a blank check to basically level about half of the Gaza Strip with the other half currently in progress.

00:34:28.740 Now, as you said in the cold open, Trump is a peacemaker and he touted this a lot.

00:34:33.640 During his first administration, he's correct, there were no new major wars, right?

00:34:38.600 Biden took over, I think it was February 2021, not all that long after he left office, the Ukrainian-Russian war broke out, which is still going on.

00:34:46.860 hundreds of thousands of people have died. October 7th, 2023, so just two years after him

00:34:52.100 leaving office, you had the biggest breakout of conflict in the Palestine area. Basically 75

00:34:58.500 years. So Trump's come in, and he's been doing his best to try to stop both of them. And to be

00:35:02.760 honest, we have to be honest, we're nine months in, he's not been successful yet. The Russia-Ukrainian

00:35:07.260 war is still going on, and the Israel-Hamas war is still going on. So I think Trump here is

00:35:12.980 desperate for a win. This is comical. If you can see the screen, you can see the word that he says.

00:35:19.260 But when Trump called up Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this was on Friday, to tell him,

00:35:24.800 hey, this deal that we put out forward to Hamas, they've accepted parts of it. They want others. 0.68

00:35:29.340 Netanyahu initially said, I don't know why you're celebrating. Why are you celebrating this? We

00:35:33.320 don't want this. We wanted much more. And that's funny. Trump came out and he said, this is what

00:35:38.060 you'll see on your screen, the headline. Trump to Netanyahu on Gaza. You're always so blanking.

00:35:42.980 negative. So true. So true. Because Trump wants peace. Right. Netanyahu, on the other hand, 0.64

00:35:49.880 as you alluded to, he's pretty unpopular. This is from January 2024, a Reuters poll that said

00:35:55.120 only 15 percent of Israelis want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay in office after the

00:36:00.200 war on Hamas in Gaza ends. Fifteen percent want him to stay in office. But many more still support

00:36:06.460 his strategy of crushing the militants in the Palestinian enclave, according to a poll published

00:36:10.780 on Tuesday. I recognize this is about a year and a half ago, but it highlights he was unpopular

00:36:16.060 then. You're seeing here at the U.N. calls for sanctions greeted him at the U.N. So he went to

00:36:21.640 the U.N. A number of people walked out when he spoke. There's calls for sanctions. I just saw

00:36:25.980 tens of thousands of people in Amsterdam rallied for an anti-Israeli protest, essentially saying,

00:36:32.320 take the deal, get peace, and let's stop having war in Gaza that is causing all of this

00:36:38.420 humanitarian suffering. And so Benjamin Netanyahu is unpopular. He's facing a lot of international

00:36:43.640 pressure. And practically speaking, he's actually under three distinct trials in, and that's not

00:36:50.120 counting the international court as well. So there's an international compliance court that

00:36:53.780 has called on him to answer for the crimes. They call it crimes against humanity during the war

00:36:57.400 in Gaza. But there's also three internal Israeli investigations for basically bribery, favors,

00:37:03.140 the typical political things now here's a great thing that happens during a war all the people

00:37:08.800 that don't like you they take the second shelf uh we think of uh why am i blanking ukrainian

00:37:14.400 president zelensky zelensky he suspended elections while the war's going on yep how convenient he

00:37:20.060 wanted to stay in power guys for your safety we're not going to have an election where i could be

00:37:24.620 potentially ousted and in the same way for netanyahu uh one of these investigations the

00:37:29.500 prosecution uh they stated their case they rested in 2024 he was giving his side of it too and then

00:37:36.140 the trial experienced multiple delays most recently in june 2025 when the court granted a temporary

00:37:42.360 postponement citing diplomatic and national security measures during the conflict with

00:37:47.580 iran so even just this summer when israel attacked iran we all remember that uh well how convenient

00:37:54.460 that also delayed the court cases that are going against him right so politically unpopular he's

00:38:00.640 under judicial review facing a lot of pressure at home and internationally the whole world is

00:38:05.660 kind of calling on him like dude give it a rest yeah anything on your end no i just i i think that

00:38:13.520 we're naive if we don't recognize that um it's like oh this is you know historic you know age

00:38:19.800 old conflicts like yeah that's true um there's that element and that's real and it's undeniable

00:38:24.300 but there's also present-day political warfare um that is a massive cause to um a lot of the

00:38:33.000 conflict uh trump wants it to end it's in his best interest that it ends and i think really i

00:38:39.080 think objectively it's the world's best interest uh that this conflict ends uh whereas in the case

00:38:45.280 of Netanyahu. For him, the moment that there's finally peace and resolution, his political

00:38:53.040 career is probably over. And so he has no incentive to end the war. Yep. So the tenets of the deal

00:39:00.360 that Hamas has tentatively agreed to, a big one is the returning of hostages. They have a number

00:39:04.240 of hostages and they've agreed to return them. But more permanently, it establishes a kind of

00:39:08.940 temporary makeshift governance. And a big part of it is the disarmament. So they're asking Hamas to

00:39:14.140 disarm, that the Gaza region would be disarmed. However, it would remain 0.94

00:39:18.020 politically distinct. And as of now, Trump went to, it was Egypt, I think, where the negotiations

00:39:22.140 were being held. He's sounding optimistic. This is actually just from 10 minutes ago.

00:39:26.000 We're going to play a clip of Trump kind of talking about the process of the peace talks as they've been

00:39:29.980 happening. Great. It was reported by Axis over the weekend that you had a call with Prime Minister

00:39:34.180 Desanyahu where you told him to stop being so negative and to take the win

00:39:38.220 when it came to Hamas' response to that. Is that true? No, it's not true.

00:39:42.120 he's been very positive he's been very positive on the deal everybody is i think every nation is

00:39:47.400 we have just about every nation working on this deal and trying to get it done something that

00:39:53.000 you could say 3 000 years if you look at it in certain ways or you could say centuries but this

00:39:58.840 is a deal that incredibly everyone just came together they all came together no israel's been

00:40:04.280 great they've all been good kayla and in the negotiations do you have any red lines in terms of

00:40:08.840 of Hamas disarming and whatnot?

00:40:11.560 Are there-

00:40:12.240 No, I have red lines.

00:40:13.360 If certain things aren't met, we're not going to do it.

00:40:15.980 But I think we're doing very well. 0.87

00:40:17.580 And I think Hamas has been agreeing to things that are very important. 0.88

00:40:25.500 There you go.

00:40:26.560 Mandatory little love for Israel there.

00:40:28.320 Israel's been great.

00:40:29.420 It was funny.

00:40:29.840 There was, I think it was during the summer, it sounded like they were falling out.

00:40:32.980 Yeah.

00:40:33.200 I mean, the prime minister of Israel.

00:40:34.540 Yeah.

00:40:34.900 First phone calls, calls not being answered.

00:40:37.780 they found a way to make up though they said there are millions of evangelicals depending

00:40:43.040 on this relationship we need to kiss and make up we need to make it happen uh but basically he's

00:40:47.460 saying look the world at this point wants this this is not just a small tiny that's what james

00:40:52.800 lindsey was trying to say there's a small tiny faction of protesters that are against israel

00:40:56.660 no the whole world is saying yeah we're seeing the pictures we're seeing the videos we're seeing

00:41:01.320 what's being done the whole un walked out you got them yet yeah right yep so it'll be interesting

00:41:07.440 We may, for the first time, this would be in two years, basically not have, for the moment, conflict in the Middle East.

00:41:14.740 However, again, this comes during a time when Israel's popularity has never been lower.

00:41:19.360 You can see it. I can see it. It's not astroturfed.

00:41:22.140 This is a decades-long decline.

00:41:24.940 And if anything, it's been declining steadily, but not off of a cliff, kind of as the older generation passes away.

00:41:30.920 but in the last two years since the start of the war we're talking about a massive drop in

00:41:37.060 popularity so they're coming out of this war not as popular as ever not with more support in the

00:41:42.340 u.s but with a lot less support and interestingly i'm interested how this can play in the midterms

00:41:46.980 is support for israel in their war against tamas wasn't a factor will that allow anti-israel

00:41:53.580 representatives anti-israel senators to have a better chance because the campaign won't be about

00:41:58.940 that the speaker of the house uh mike johnson loves him some israel and he said privately i

00:42:05.700 think it was always a mike mike huckabee mike johnson mike johnson mike mike mike do you want

00:42:10.460 to be like you still want to be like mike i don't i don't uh he said privately i think it was to

00:42:15.280 apac he's like i'm going to do my best to make sure there's not a representative that makes it

00:42:19.440 through primary process that gets elected in the house of representatives that's anti-israel so

00:42:23.660 even here in the u.s there's a recognition this anti-israel coalition is growing people want to

00:42:29.220 be done with them people don't want to support marjorie we don't play our cards right example

00:42:33.140 like she's kind of a rising star uh just i you know you know my position yeah i mean i you and 0.82

00:42:40.900 i both uh we would rather you know i'm sure she's a sweet lady we'd rather her just stay at home

00:42:45.340 we'd like to see you know christian men in office and not women uh but i will say that she um she

00:42:51.560 has taken a stand on this issue and uh yeah some of you know the usual suspects some of your neocons

00:42:57.580 and things like that and i say some uh like 90 percent of them hate her absolutely hate her

00:43:02.000 but in terms of grassroots like american citizens the people themselves she's a star they they

00:43:08.400 really really really like her matt gates as well is a big one they like him a lot and not just

00:43:13.620 because literally on that issue that's his only thing but they're like he's solid here he's great

00:43:17.600 here and also he gets the times he gets because yeah people are they're done with israel and and

00:43:23.820 more than just being done with israel it's not just about that um it's not just that people are

00:43:28.480 over israel but what they're it's it's not what they've stopped it's what they're starting and

00:43:32.360 what they're starting is people are really starting to say wait a second like why aren't we america

00:43:37.960 first why don't we prioritize our country first and i think as the boomers i mean you look at like

00:43:44.200 some of the statistics that I've seen just in the last week of like where wealth currently is being

00:43:49.100 held among the populace of the United States. It's, it's like 60, I think it's 67%, 70% of our

00:43:57.000 wealth is boomers one generation. And, and then you get to like Gen Z and they have, you know, 0.52

00:44:04.100 like they empty their pockets and there's like a cigarette butt, you know, and a stick of bubble

00:44:08.180 gum, you know, and maybe a button that came off of their shirt and that's it. That's, I mean,

00:44:12.920 that's like their life savings. Um, and you know, they're younger, but, uh, but, but it's not just

00:44:17.840 like, Oh, well, they're young and they'll have a lot of money later. No, like boomers in terms of 0.92

00:44:21.460 real wealth, when they were the age of Gen Z, they had a whole lot more wealth than Gen Z. 0.57

00:44:27.200 And, uh, if it was just, uh, you know, if it was just kind of like tiered up based off of age and 0.81

00:44:32.580 how many years you had lived and how much time you had to accumulate wealth, well, then you would 0.65

00:44:36.420 expect that, you know, Gen X would be, you know, somewhere close to boomers, nowhere, even close. 0.57

00:44:41.160 It's, I think it's like, um, what I was looking at is basically all the people who have, um, all the millionaires in the United States, uh, everybody has more than a million dollars. It might've been $3 million. It was something I saw this morning. Uh, but it was, uh, 67% of those who had either 1 million or 3 million plus, whatever the statistic was, uh, 67% were boomers. I believe it was only 15% Gen X.

00:45:04.820 and then it was like 18% something like that 19% millennials and then like you know five or six or

00:45:12.500 seven percent for Gen Z so you're talking like all these other three other generations Gen X

00:45:18.040 millennials and Gen Z all of them collectively maybe maybe collectively having about half the

00:45:24.960 wealth of one generation boomers and so my point is aside from Israel Israel is just one of the 0.76

00:45:30.520 most blatant, obvious examples of our own leaders, our own politicians being treasonous and actually 0.75

00:45:36.260 caring about another nation more than our own. But it's not just that. If everybody was buying

00:45:41.880 houses and everybody was building wealth and, you know, things were good at home and we didn't have

00:45:46.180 career criminals, you know, who have been charged 14 times and then let out again and stabbing,

00:45:51.760 you know, white women on a train, then, you know, then it's, so my point is it's a culmination of

00:45:57.440 many different variables. It's that the kids are not all right, right? The kids are not all right 0.51

00:46:03.620 and people feel that. The kids feel that. Some parents don't care, but other parents do and

00:46:10.300 they feel that and feel a sense of sympathy and concern for their children. How are our children

00:46:14.620 going to be able to have a life that we've had and provide for our grandchildren the kind of life

00:46:19.140 that we've had or anything even remotely close to it? So you look at economics, you look at

00:46:25.080 crime that's massive you look at immigration how we're being flooded by all these foreign peoples 1.00

00:46:30.460 that we're losing our country right before our very eyes and then you look at this punk in the 1.00

00:46:37.480 middle east who just just keeps picking fights with everybody um and and then also says money

00:46:44.280 please money please comes in and tells us that their event was worse than our 9-11 yeah literally

00:46:49.820 more people died stood in front of what was it congress or house of reps or something but he

00:46:55.400 stood before american politicians and uh and literally said i think he said 20 times was the

00:47:01.320 number he said uh what happened on october 7th to israel was 20 times worse than um than september

00:47:07.860 11th and the point that he was trying to make right to steel man the argument which is very

00:47:12.580 charitable on my part i might add because i'm impressed such a terrible thing to say that it

00:47:17.560 really, you know, it merits no defense. But what he was trying to do was he was looking at, here's

00:47:22.720 the overall population of Israel, and here's the overall population of America. And here's, you

00:47:28.280 know, what percentage of Israelis died in October 7th, and then saying the percentage of those who

00:47:35.260 died, you know, 3,000, 3,500 or so that it was with September 11th in America. And so he's saying

00:47:41.640 in terms of percentages, well, it was, you know, the percentage of Israel's total population that

00:47:48.500 died on October 7th was 20 times greater than the percentage that died on September 11th of

00:47:53.720 America's overall population. Still, the point is to come into our country and to belittle and 0.96

00:47:59.360 minimize our tragedies, to say your American tragedy, that Israel was actually responsible 0.63

00:48:05.860 before that we did no uh to come in to say uh your tragedy um is nothing right and ours is the

00:48:15.960 one that really matters meanwhile it's not just that we had a tragedy but we're living in a 0.81

00:48:20.920 tragedy right 25 year olds they they cannot afford to get married and to have children 0.69

00:48:26.960 they're not getting married so it's not just they can't afford it they're also not doing it like

00:48:30.580 percentage of men i guess own a home and married by 30 what percentage of your men and your

00:48:35.840 population have achieved these markers by 30 like a fifth of what the prior generation was right

00:48:41.120 they can't afford it and they're not doing it which is crazy they're not going out they're not

00:48:45.040 getting married they don't have jobs to your point all of these things it kind of feels like and this

00:48:49.560 is what we've been talking about i think of the fourth turning episode we did a couple weeks ago

00:48:52.740 right all of these things are kind of coming together they're coming to there was no groundswell

00:48:57.560 against israel in the 90s no you guys have to understand their support this drop in support

00:49:01.980 after october 7th this has been generations in the making that's right yeah so it's you know it's

00:49:07.840 like things you know when things happen they happen all at once right like when it rains it pours so

00:49:12.800 it has been in the making for decades um and but then all of a sudden you know the ramifications

00:49:18.980 the effects are are coming to light uh but but it really has been not just you know the last two

00:49:24.480 years boom popularity you know um for israel has plummeted but that was that was building that

00:49:30.740 sentiment was building for a long time but what i was going to say when you brought up the 90s part

00:49:35.080 of the reason why this wasn't the case in the 90s it wasn't just because oh in the 90s israel was

00:49:39.320 great israel has never been great never been great right you can't do a campaign right like nobody

00:49:45.140 could run on a campaign israel you know miga make israel great again well what do you what do you

00:49:49.700 mean like just america actually america used to be great you know and uh and so that actually makes

00:49:54.440 sense israel has never been great um and and so it's not like in the 90s israel was wonderful and

00:49:59.340 that's why, you know, American sentiment for Israel was so high. No, it was more so a number

00:50:06.260 of factors, but one would be media was sharply controlled in the 90s, right? You have, you know,

00:50:12.140 a few channels on TV. You don't have, you know, YouTube and all this, you know. So one, Americans

00:50:16.860 just didn't know what was going on. So there was a massive lack of information and a ton of

00:50:22.040 propaganda coming out of Israel and flooding, you know, our politicians, our media, and all these

00:50:26.620 kinds of things number two americans is my big point americans were doing relatively well in the

00:50:32.240 90s yeah and here's the deal uh when you're doing well you you kind of you know you people can get

00:50:39.900 away with things right you'll let some things slide right if you're doing well and you've got

00:50:44.020 your two weeks of vacation and the kids are doing well and and you're able to you know save money

00:50:49.360 for them to go to college and you own your home and buy a fridge in the last 30 years right yeah

00:50:54.080 with no ads on it either i'm like the new samson fridges babe wake up new capitalism just drop

00:51:00.080 i saw your post that was funny um but yeah so when when you're doing well um then yeah you you don't

00:51:06.980 really okay we're sending some tax dollars to israel and you're not really investigating looking

00:51:11.160 into it because you're like i'm doing fine i don't really care uh because i'm happy and and but

00:51:16.780 things are not great right now and so when you can't afford uh basic living necessities

00:51:23.080 and you have multiple generations in your country that can't afford those and they're all well aware

00:51:29.380 that prior generations could that things actually were great and now all of a sudden it's it's your

00:51:36.080 your life and your opportunity and you're of age to get married and buy a home and the things that

00:51:42.400 were there for your mom and dad aren't there for you and it's very clear um and and there's economic

00:51:49.280 you know tightening and restraints and you're barely getting by and then you find out because

00:51:55.460 now there's a flood of independent media and so like decentralized yeah and so you can see

00:52:01.760 you know facts that you know walter cronkite would have never shared with you back in the day

00:52:06.080 well i miss the days of walter cronkite he just gave us the news no he just gave you one streamlined

00:52:12.340 version of propaganda right and now you know it's pick your poison there's all so now that you can

00:52:19.840 actually see well this person's saying we're giving how many billions of dollars to israel

00:52:23.420 and this many billions to ukraine and this my politicians are going on us aid we were paying

00:52:29.780 we were paying millions of dollars to teach transgenderism to kids in pakistan like and

00:52:36.060 you look at all that and you can't afford a home um then all of a sudden uh and they're glassing 0.98

00:52:43.340 gaza and committing genocide right and and you know about it and you're hearing about it um then

00:52:49.560 yeah i mean what do you think's going to happen people are gonna be like yeah you know what this

00:52:53.760 relationship's not working out we're done with israel and think about every american has been

00:52:57.280 told well the thing that makes america great is that we don't have a king we're run by uh the

00:53:01.660 people get to vote representatives so you have theoretically this avenue my life is terrible

00:53:06.340 Homes are unaffordable.

00:53:07.140 The economy is awful.

00:53:08.440 You theoretically have this avenue, which is to appeal to your politicians who represent

00:53:12.300 you.

00:53:12.860 But again, the ire and the angst is, well, these people represent us.

00:53:16.320 And so in the wake of Charlie Kirk, Republicans who control the presidency and who control

00:53:20.180 the Senate and control the House, they're putting forward legislation and they're crafting

00:53:23.860 and they're working on rooting out leftist terrorism.

00:53:27.100 Oh, we're getting commemorative coins.

00:53:29.440 Oh, I can't afford a home.

00:53:31.240 And so some type of this or that or getting people out as far as immigration, which looks

00:53:35.420 to be deportations they seem to be on the rise but practically for years they haven't been but

00:53:40.820 oh so you're going to do this and like well best i can do for you champ is i can take a i can take

00:53:45.360 another trip to israel on your dime i mean senator rick scott from florida literally flies the israeli

00:53:50.680 flag outside of his office so to your point and it's like well i have one recourse the law in the

00:53:56.240 state which can be a force for good it can be a force for evil it can be despotic it can be wicked

00:54:01.400 but theoretically it could be this avenue that good people represent you take your interests

00:54:06.240 but what they've done and what people are mad at and why they're mad kind of at both parties

00:54:10.160 they've taken them they've done jack with it right like you've done nothing for me and a big thing

00:54:15.180 they have done is they have served Israel and so it's like you get it's almost like like they're

00:54:20.680 cheating on someone right you stop going over there and having affection for this other woman

00:54:26.320 that's taking all your time all your money all your love come back here and help us right yep

00:54:32.360 so people are done they're done great let's uh i think we got a number of super chats we'll hit

00:54:37.260 our last commercial break and we'll get to those okay and go from there when it comes to your

00:54:42.440 financial future are you planning forward or backwards from your desired results what type

00:57:56.060 safeguarding your legacy with God's timeless treasure.

00:58:03.300 All right, let's start with this.

00:58:04.740 We've got a question from Austin.

00:58:06.220 I'm pretty sure because we've seen him pop up in the chat from time to time.

00:58:09.960 And pretty, you know, he's a heckler. 0.95

00:58:12.500 He's a troll to say the least.

00:58:15.060 But he's got a question here that he thinks probably is a gotcha question, 0.60

00:58:19.340 but it's actually just a layup.

00:58:22.240 So I appreciate when the trolls, you know, just put out some red meat.

00:58:26.060 you know, a layup, a little, you know, tee it up for you nicely, something that's really easy.

00:58:29.660 So he thinks this is a really, really insightful question here. Yeah, he thought he cooked. So

00:58:34.460 let's go ahead and answer it because it'll be simple. He said, what do you suggest the government

00:58:38.060 do to lower home prices? Give specifics. It's a free market. It is a free market, not as free

00:58:44.320 as you think, but it is somewhat of a free market. That's true. And so let me teach you a little

00:58:49.100 something about the free market. One principle in the free market is supply and demand, supply and

00:58:55.540 demand. And one thing that you can do in order to lower demand, and therefore principles, prices,

00:59:04.160 is by ultimately having a greater supply. If something is prevalent, right, if there's

00:59:11.480 an abundance, a surplus of something, then the price goes down. If something is rare,

00:59:16.780 then the price goes up, the demand goes up. So one thing that you could do in these United States

00:59:22.460 of America with a population of approximately 330 million people is you could go ahead and just

00:59:28.720 slice off a third of the total population and send them out of the country. 100 million people

00:59:34.700 need to go back. 100 million people need to go back. They are not Americans. They are paperwork

00:59:40.300 Americans at best. Many of them are illegal. They're not even paperwork Americans, but some 1.00

00:59:45.120 of them are, they have some form of documentation, but they are H-1B visas. They're not actually

00:59:52.240 citizens. And there are even a few citizens that also need to go back. Ilhan Omar, she would be at

00:59:58.540 the top of my list. She is a United States citizen, but she is not an American. And that's by her own 0.98

01:00:05.060 admission. That's not just by my, you know, heritage American standard. Ilhan Omar would be

01:00:09.620 the first to tell you and has said it publicly several times that her ultimate allegiance is to

01:00:15.420 Somalia, right? That's where her allegiance lies. So if you take non-Americans who do not belong

01:00:21.600 in this country, and there's approximately 100 million of them, and get rid of them to where 1.00

01:00:26.440 all of a sudden a third of the houses in our country are now empty, what happens in a free

01:00:33.660 market with supply and demand to the principles, the prices. What happens is that they go down.

01:00:39.820 They go down significantly, significantly, because now you have the dwelling places

01:00:46.160 to ultimately host 330 million people, but now there's only 220 million people who need those

01:00:53.100 houses. And so in order to compete, when you're trying to sell your property, you have to take

01:00:58.100 the price down because there are less buyers and there's more supply than there actually is demand

01:01:04.240 that's one simple solution that would take probably i would say on average would take

01:01:09.140 a five hundred thousand dollar house and cut it down to about 320 350 yeah um and we saw we had

01:01:17.120 for 24 hours something that kind of looked like this plan the h1b visa fee so there was a moment

01:01:22.020 there for 24 hours where uh the department of immigration said hey as far as h1b visas go this

01:01:27.920 is a skilled laborer position so theoretically it's jobs that are above they get 60k and their

01:01:33.100 jobs supposedly that americans can't do there is going to be a fee attached all right you've got

01:01:37.360 a skill we can literally fill this with no american they can't do the job you've got a

01:01:41.360 skill to offer us you also need to pay a hundred thousand dollars that would have leveled flat

01:01:46.220 oh yeah h1b visa immigration and it was a lot fewer people coming here would have affected

01:01:50.460 principals like andrew isker and not immediately but over the next couple years over the next

01:01:54.940 couple of years, Andrew Isker, I sent you a screenshot. He texted me, you know, I thought

01:01:58.340 it was funny and I was, you know, I was rooting, I was rooting for him to be right. Uh, but he,

01:02:03.100 he was thinking about our area. He's been out here and visited a couple of times and he knows

01:02:06.780 that we are, uh, we are heavy with our, um, uh, our Indian population here in, uh, the Austin

01:02:14.320 area. And I mean, it is insane. And Dallas is worse apparently. So it's bad year. The Frisco 1.00

01:02:19.480 costco uh video that somebody posted the displeasure dude somebody posted uh a video of uh

01:02:26.180 costco uh in frisco uh which i guess that would be uh california but i think there's a frisco

01:02:31.400 texas yeah okay um and it was literally like and they had like you know um in the b-roll you know

01:02:37.560 the audio uh they had like some indian music and uh and it was literally like this one white guy

01:02:44.580 just going around filming not a single non-indian in sight i mean just it had to have been you know

01:02:50.820 a few hundred indians and and no one but indians and so um so anyways andrew risker he texted me

01:02:57.460 when trump said the h1b visa thing when you know of course in typical trump fashion it was you know

01:03:03.280 the bark was bigger than the bite we'll see what actually happens but initially you know it was

01:03:07.480 a hundred thousand dollars annual an annual fee a hundred thousand dollars per each one h h1b visa

01:03:14.080 worker was going to have to be paid by them or by the company and that ultimately would mean that a

01:03:19.300 ton of them would go back and uh and certainly uh no more would come at one point it was going to

01:03:23.500 look like annually so every single year you would have had to make enough to pay maintain keep it up

01:03:29.340 yep which would mean a number of things one it would mean that americans would now be able to

01:03:33.480 get those jobs and to afford a home right to afford a home so you would have um americans

01:03:39.160 paid more you would also have less people which means homes cost less and in our area um we yeah

01:03:46.920 like i you know for our area you know prices spiked all over the country and our area especially

01:03:52.440 in 2021 in the first half of 2022 and then boom they began to plummet but there were lots of other

01:03:59.140 places in the country where prices, they spiked and then they kind of trickled down a little bit,

01:04:05.660 but then kind of hit a bottom and hit a support level and stayed there. I think of the guys in

01:04:11.200 Ogden. Well, here's the deal. Places on the coast, they're landlocked. You have the ocean.

01:04:18.040 Ogden, same kind of concept. You have mountains. You can't just build everywhere. But places like

01:04:23.680 Texas, they were just buying up farms. It's just flat, right? As far as the eye can see. So they're

01:04:28.180 just buying up land buying up farms you're not landlocked by anything there's no mountains there's

01:04:32.440 no ocean there's no nothing it's texas you know that's just what it is and so so that they just

01:04:37.420 built out they just put in toll roads and and then just bought up farms and then just the the

01:04:43.760 default factory setting you know uh new bills lap 2000 home just boom here's a home home home home

01:04:50.260 home and threw them up you know in a matter of just a few short months a farm became um a

01:04:56.040 subdivision you know in six months and they they didn't just do one or two of them they they did

01:05:01.140 it by the hundreds and i'm not hundreds of homes i'm not saying hundreds of homes hundreds of

01:05:05.420 subdivisions and uh and so it's again supply and demand so um all of a sudden the supply actually

01:05:12.000 outpaced the demand at first like they couldn't build them fast enough because everyone was moving

01:05:17.300 to texas it was you know 2020 everybody's getting out of california and new york and all these well

01:05:21.860 and also biden gets into office maybe you're about to say that yep tons of immigration immigration

01:05:26.660 exactly so you had a ton of people flooding in from the southern border because of biden taking

01:05:30.340 office and a ton of people also you know escaping their blue states and wanting to move to more

01:05:34.800 red states like texas and austin became a really big destination in 2020 2021 and so there's a huge

01:05:42.020 demand not enough supply but because they weren't landlocked they just they made that supply whereas

01:05:48.720 other places like Ogden, mountains, or like San Diego, ocean, and mountains for that matter,

01:05:56.060 and desert, most of California, Southern California's desert, they could only build so

01:06:00.620 much. And so those places spiked and then kind of stayed high. They came down a little bit,

01:06:04.760 but they kind of stayed high. For us, my home went up by, I think it was 40%. I bought it mid

01:06:12.740 uh, 2020 and, uh, we, we, we, uh, closed in June or July of 2020 and our home, this is not an

01:06:21.620 exaggeration. Our home by, um, by October, I think it was October, November of 2021. So this is like,

01:06:29.480 it was literally about 16 months in 16 months. Our home on Zillow had gone up 40%, 40%. And then,

01:06:38.600 uh today it has gone back down um to where it's now from you know the price that we bought it at

01:06:45.600 it's up about i think it's up 20 so it went up 40 and then back down um and now it's up 20

01:06:52.640 percent um but that's because uh there was this massive demand because of all the immigration

01:06:59.560 from the southern border and then all the people exiting blue states and moving to this area

01:07:03.260 in 2020 and 2021 third factor and low interest rates you're right um and then interest rates

01:07:08.920 went up uh people are self-deporting and some actually being deported um and some people you

01:07:14.820 know who moved here from blue states it's been four or five years at this point so some people

01:07:18.740 are like all right you know like trump's in office things are more normal now and you know

01:07:23.320 there's huge bugs in texas and it's always hot and humid you know so i'm gonna go back to you

01:07:28.800 know where i came from and so so because now you know um there's less demand that's part of it uh

01:07:35.460 because interest rates went up and all these kinds of things and there's a ton of supply and so

01:07:41.540 prices have come down and it's the same thing so that that question is not difficult to answer um

01:07:47.220 what what do you do to make homes affordable in the united states well in one foul swoop you can

01:07:53.140 kill two birds with one stone. In one fell swoop, you can raise the wages of Americans by getting

01:07:59.420 rid of non-Americans, paperwork Americans, and you can also increase the supply of housing for 0.94

01:08:05.720 Americans by getting rid of paperwork non-Americans. Simply by doing that, everyone would 0.67

01:08:12.860 make more and things would cost less. Make more, cost less. You could fix virtually every single

01:08:19.000 problem uh by simply 100 million people go back the only problem at that point really remaining

01:08:24.960 would be crime and with crime uh all you have to do is replace crooked judges have you know just

01:08:32.000 judges and actually punish criminals and we would live in a paradise be amazing uh benjamin franklin

01:08:37.960 long ago one of the things he said is so great about america he said it's uh it's just not as uh

01:08:42.940 full like think about britain at the time like people have lived there for a long time america

01:08:48.740 is huge and vast and when you look back at old videos honestly that's one of the things you

01:08:52.800 notice about it it's not parking lots full of cars and lines to wait that's a new thing and

01:08:57.220 it drastically impacts quality of life one of the things that had made america so good was

01:09:01.380 it was relatively empty until 2020 2021 2023 we imported by the tens of millions tens of millions

01:09:09.500 of people especially to these uh population centers your austin's your dallas your san

01:09:13.680 your la we imported a lot of people in the four years got a lot worse yeah the four years of the

01:09:19.180 auto pin administration um a lot of guys have projected that it was close to 40 million

01:09:24.720 including you know legal and illegal aliens and and also you know factoring in for getaways that

01:09:31.300 the total number was around 40 million people think about that 40 million people that's over

01:09:36.180 10 percent um at the time we would have been about 300 million uh population and we took in

01:09:42.180 over 10%, like 12%

01:09:44.720 of our total population in four

01:09:46.720 years. And then we're like,

01:09:48.780 hey, there's economic problems

01:09:50.680 and crime has gone up.

01:09:52.780 But what's going on? What could it possibly

01:09:54.720 be? I think we know.

01:09:56.980 I've got an idea. All right, super chats.

01:09:59.260 Dapper Dan, great brother,

01:10:00.980 longtime supporter, $4.99. Thanks, Dan.

01:10:03.000 He said, stop funding Israel and

01:10:04.580 reallocate the money to ICE. Yes and

01:10:06.740 amen. And hey, if you're a

01:10:08.800 patriot and probably a single

01:10:10.740 man so you have a little bit more ability ice is hiring yeah they want our guys and it needs to be

01:10:15.660 our guys right you need to go out there you need to fill out an application and say steven miller 0.97

01:10:19.500 i'm your guy you need to get out there you need to save america that's more again for single men

01:10:24.340 if you're looking for kind of a career change or maybe if you're in the different deport uh areas

01:10:28.480 with like centers i think san antonio is one of them in texas for example but totally consider

01:10:32.920 that as a valid also like maybe you're not going to do it full time but you know just a little

01:10:36.660 pastoral advice here, right? You want to do the Lord's work. You want to push for the crown rights

01:10:42.300 of King Jesus, be an American patriot, love your brothers and sisters in Christ, love your fellow

01:10:47.360 heritage Americans. Maybe you don't sign up for ICE full-time, but if you're a business owner,

01:10:53.520 like construction, for instance, or maybe it's a restaurant, you can be, as a business owner,

01:10:59.980 making money with your enterprise and also calling ICE, right? Like, hey, I do construction,

01:11:06.200 you know in the greater austin area i'm a christian it's a christian construction you

01:11:10.480 know company and i'm looking around the job site it turns out we've got a lot of people who speak

01:11:16.740 nothing but espanol it's just a friendly phone call to ice turn in your own employees the lord

01:11:22.620 would smile upon it um it's it's a it's an honorable endeavor feel free to do that i think

01:11:28.500 after chipotle today we have a call to make as well yeah so whether you're out and about you just

01:11:34.040 you'd be looking you'd be looking dial something's not right over here yeah something's not right

01:11:38.860 over here uh let's uh there's there's a few there's a few too many sombreros over at the

01:11:44.200 town so we're gonna get recognizing the music yep all right this dude rocks he gave us 50 bucks

01:11:49.660 thank you we appreciate that very generous very kind he says uh why is there hostility from

01:11:55.860 abolitionist rising that's an abolitionist group uh seeking to end abortion and t russell hunter

01:12:01.680 he's the head of that group, to Christians that voted for Trump. That's his question. Is there

01:12:06.560 a biblical case for voting for leaders that advocate for abortion? I wish to be consistent 0.52

01:12:12.740 and not show partiality or permit evil. God bless. It's a great question. Follow-up too.

01:12:18.920 Oh, he's got a follow-up. All right, here we go. He said, to clarify, I support Abolitionist Rising's

01:12:23.660 ministry, and I love their work. I wish for brothers to band together and defeat abortion

01:12:29.740 despite disagreements. Amen. Yeah, we want to see abortion completely abolished. I do think that

01:12:35.940 as best we can, we need to be willing to link arms and to partner with those who are genuine

01:12:42.060 brothers in Christ to seek the abolition of abortion. In terms of the tactics, that's

01:12:47.980 ultimately what you're getting at. There is certainly an immense debate, but what you're

01:12:53.180 getting at with your initial question is even more particular than that, right? It's one thing to say

01:12:57.920 in terms of actually abolishing abortion, we want just laws. We don't just want to mitigate

01:13:03.440 abortion, say, well, you can murder babies, you know, so long as the hallway from, you know,

01:13:08.940 the abortion murder mill is this wide and not this narrow. Or you can, you know, you can abort 0.96

01:13:13.920 babies on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but not on Mondays and not on Tuesdays. I understand. I

01:13:19.620 understand saying, hey, these are not just laws. This is a law that God would detest. And so a

01:13:23.960 Christian cannot put these laws forward. That would be the argument. But what you're getting 1.00

01:13:28.340 at is beyond that. And we talked about that during Trump's, you know, his campaign during

01:13:33.620 the election cycle. It's one thing to say that the tactics for abolishing abortion should be just

01:13:40.700 according to God's law in terms of the bills themselves, right? There's certainly an argument

01:13:45.760 to be made for that. But it's another thing to say, hey, you have two options for not at a local

01:13:52.380 level but a federal presidential election and it's going to be one of these two individuals

01:13:58.060 you're going to have kamala harris and 40 million more immigrants who will vote blue and we will 1.00

01:14:04.980 never win an election ever again and they will abort babies forever right or donald j trump who 0.96

01:14:13.180 is not standing for life like he should not even close right we'll be the first to admit that

01:14:17.980 but say, hey, I'm going to pick him. He's terrible on life. She's terrible on life.

01:14:24.480 And the sanctity of the unborn is a massive, massive issue that Christians have to care 1.00

01:14:32.520 about. But they're both terrible on life. And then one who's terrible on life wants to welcome 1.00

01:14:39.380 40 million more voters to vote for abortion, and the other one doesn't. That's ultimately what it

01:14:46.260 came down to. And so some people voted for Trump to stop, not stop abortion. They knew that Trump

01:14:53.680 was not going to do that, but to stop immigration so that we would have a fighting chance with other

01:14:59.640 things like abortion. I was one of those individuals. Others, like Abolitionist Rising, 0.54

01:15:04.680 strongly, vehemently disagreed. And here we are. We still disagree.

01:15:08.920 And I think that disagreement does stem from tactics. So Abolitionist Rising, I think T.

01:15:12.660 Russell Hunter, they would say, the only measure that you can take, any half measure, any partial

01:15:18.040 progress would be dishonoring to God. We're talking about murder. Like you said, we don't

01:15:21.740 allow murder to happen on Wednesdays. It has to be for the complete, total abolition, the equal

01:15:26.560 protection, so the baby receives the same rights to protection under the law as any other person

01:15:32.300 if they were murdered in cold blood. So they would say, there's nothing and there's everything.

01:15:36.460 And the only acceptable means to go about this is to push for everything, never settling short, never settling for anything less.

01:15:44.760 And we would disagree, I think, and say that with Trump, there's going to be like he removed federal funding.

01:15:51.840 I think it's the stay in Mexico provision, like removed that.

01:15:55.280 Well, that helps restrict access.

01:15:56.900 Texas, practically, there was some legislation passed in a special session relating to the pill, I believe, and then practically a heartbeat law.

01:16:04.140 Abortion practically, aside from cases where the pill gets in

01:16:06.900 and one's done in back alley, is done in Texas.

01:16:09.780 Now we still have more to go.

01:16:11.380 Children, unborn infants, deserve equal protection under the law.

01:16:15.180 So there's still progress to be made here in Texas.

01:16:17.660 But also practically, I think we objectively have to say

01:16:20.420 there are babies that are born today in Texas

01:16:22.840 that because of laws passed here in this state,

01:16:25.280 not nationally, but at the state level,

01:16:27.600 they would not be alive if they had been conceived three, four years prior.

01:16:32.140 I think objectively we have to say that, and so some of these different measures will still say, no, you cannot murder a baby just because it's seven weeks old, not eight weeks old, but practically having achieved that victory, having banned the pill, now we're going to keep pushing for full and equal protection, whereas Abolish Rising, T. Russell Hunter, they would say anything less than this would be a sin, and we would just respectfully disagree.

01:16:54.840 like slavery was abolished in england gradually it took about 50 years there was no war unlike

01:17:00.340 here in america though there's 600 000 true heritage americans men that died there they did

01:17:06.300 it with no war they did it gradually first it was kind of the uh britain formal where it still

01:17:11.280 existed in the colonies and then like different traces of it but like it was abolished over 60

01:17:15.980 years gradually and i understand there were abolitionist groups in the same way the push

01:17:20.260 for the total abolition but uh but still it worked its way through the sentiment of the people like

01:17:26.240 this is a very the term's not great but pro-life generation because they can see it all right

01:17:31.140 there's activists on campuses they'll go around hey do you know this is what happens in abortion

01:17:34.700 that involves a vacuum that involves chemicals that involves forceps and you'll see girls who

01:17:39.320 were pro-choice before but oh my goodness that's terrible so i think in time you push you push the

01:17:44.720 ball forward here you push the ball forward here you keep pressing here you have whole states

01:17:48.820 hopefully dusty deavers in oklahoma oklahoma complete total protection for infants yeah it's

01:17:54.340 going to be state by state yep it will be and that's how you win with you know and if nothing

01:17:59.500 else it will be incremental in terms of it will be state by state it's not going to be just a one

01:18:04.580 size fits all the entire country it's going to you know it's been returned to state rights

01:18:08.680 and you know each state is now responsible for abolishing abortion and if you're making the

01:18:15.080 argument and saying, well, in terms of the bills that are presented, that these bills need to be

01:18:19.240 just bills according to the law of God, I understand. But you have to recognize that as

01:18:25.760 citizens, just the overall populace, we're not voting on bills. We're voting on elected officials.

01:18:32.280 And then they ultimately are the ones who are going to either pass bills or not. And so we're

01:18:38.240 voting for politicians and you will have, you're going to have a state rep, you're going to have

01:18:44.940 a mayor you're going to have a city council you're going to have you know all these different

01:18:49.060 positions you're going to have a precedent these positions are going to be filled and so when it

01:18:53.860 comes to voting for people we don't get to the populace doesn't vote for bills we vote for people

01:18:58.720 so when it comes to voting for elected officials to use your vote to vote for the best candidate

01:19:06.240 possible that's actually viable and available the best viable available candidate who will do the

01:19:12.020 least harm, the least evil, I think is a defensible position. Those who say you can vote

01:19:19.360 only for someone who would be qualified to be an elder in your Reformed Baptist church, 0.93

01:19:27.040 that's an argument. That's a position. It exists. It is. That is. Those are words.

01:19:33.800 Right. Those are words. But we think that that's not the best route. Okay. Granddad

01:19:41.680 farms he gave us ten dollars thanks granddad we appreciate it he said ga kings good afternoon
