00:00:00 Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.
00:00:03 I get it.
00:00:04 It's annoying.
00:00:05 Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.
00:00:07 When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that
00:00:12 our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
00:00:16 You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries
00:00:20 aren't.
00:00:21 We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears.
00:00:30 It's October 7th. It is officially the two-year anniversary of October 7th, the attack on Israel.
00:00:41 And we have heard pretty much nothing but all the events between Iran and Israel and Hamas and all
00:00:49 the different things that have been conspiring over the last two years in the Middle East.
00:00:53 Now, here's something that I think is vital that all of us know. Hopefully, we probably all know
00:00:59 it by now, but just in case there's a few people over the last two years who have been hiding
00:01:02 under a rock, it is my great misfortune to inform you that all things political are ultimately
00:01:12 engineered by politicians, and that sadly includes even war. So when I think of the war and what is
00:01:20 currently underway right now in Gaza and has been underway for the last two years,
00:01:25 One important factor that everyone should be aware of is that, in my assessment,
00:01:31 Bibi Netanyahu, he wants this war.
00:01:35 He very arguably was on his way out.
00:01:39 Israel is actually not a huge fan of Netanyahu.
00:01:44 Even his own people have grown to despise him in many ways.
00:01:48 Not everyone, but many.
00:01:49 And even before the attack on October 7th in 2023, two years ago,
00:01:55 he was not polling so well with his own people. On the other hand, it is in the best interest of
00:02:03 Donald J. Trump that this war ends. He has a reputation in his first term, and really for the
00:02:11 last decade, one of his biggest accomplishments is achieving peace, world peace, and especially
00:02:17 in the Middle East. And we have seen, as this war has continued, that Donald J. Trump, his
00:02:23 polling numbers have plummeted. He is not as well liked as he was when he first was sworn into
00:02:31 office back in January. So Donald Trump very much is angry. And we're seeing that kind of rhetoric
00:02:38 and that sentiment from our president of the United States from time to time over these last 0.94
00:02:43 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 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 quote from Donald J. Trump. And we're continuing to see that kind of rhetoric. From what people
00:03:02 are hearing on the ground, it seems as though Donald Trump is very, very done with Netanyahu. 0.99
00:03:09 And I think that that would be an incredibly, immensely positive development. That's something 0.97
00:03:14 that we can hope for. That's something that we can pray for. And in many ways, the people of
00:03:18 Israel themselves are done with Netanyahu. But if this war ends, when this war ends,
00:03:26 then it is going to be quite the challenge for Netanyahu to stay in office. It seems as though
00:03:33 this one particular politician has everything to gain by the war continuing and everything to lose
00:03:40 if peace is actually achieved. So there are a lot of developments that have transpired over the last
00:03:45 week and through the weekend. Peace seems to be a real possibility if certain individuals don't
00:03:53 mess it up. That's the episode that we're going to be talking about today, the anniversary,
00:03:57 two-year anniversary now of October 7th, what's transpiring, the angle and possibilities for peace,
00:04:05 and giving you guys a little bit of background about Netanyahu and why this might not be
00:04:10 might not be quite the saint that some people have called him to be tune in now
00:04:16 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 but joel you're saying it's october 7th it's a two-year anniversary but hang on and i thought
00:04:34 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 east yeah so you were just thinking the locale of where it all occurred ahead of my time well and
00:04:44 it's not just where the war is transpiring and what time it is there it's also where we're
00:04:50 broadcasting from people will be like it's not october 7th joel doesn't know what he's talking
00:04:54 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 the secret right response bunker in antarctica right the place that's walled off that nobody
00:05:06 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 idea that antarctica you know there's something up there that we're not allowed to see well one
00:05:17 of the things up there that you're not allowed to see is old saint nicholas and right response
00:05:21 ministries this base and it is actually october 7th where we are and some people are going to
00:05:26 fact check me on that and be like even in antarctica it's still not but i tried all right
00:05:31 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 years to set the stage for really this whole war. So this has been the biggest war in the region
00:05:40 since pretty much, I would say, 1948. There's a couple of other times in the 60s and early 70s
00:05:45 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 for a reason. This is a place that has known war. The sands have absorbed so much blood down through
00:05:55 the millennia. But this specific war is, of course, prefigured by a number of political developments
00:06:00 that all led to this moment.
00:06:03 What we're witnessing isn't something,
00:06:04 my goodness, how could this be?
00:06:06 Or there's no precedent for it in history.
00:06:08 We're witnessing kind of the continual next stage
00:06:10 in an ongoing blood feud.
00:06:12 And a blood feud that's happened
00:06:13 because two people are claiming the right to the same land.
00:06:16 And when you have a blood feud,
00:06:18 generally, historically,
00:06:19 the way out of it has been ethnic cleansing.
00:06:22 So, well, why is this happening?
00:06:24 Well, it's because two people hate each other
00:06:26 and they are both claiming we own this land
00:06:28 and this land is ours.
00:06:29 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 There's another great series.
00:06:38 It's going to be 20 hours.
00:06:40 Our show today will be about an hour and a half.
00:06:42 But Daryl Cooper, Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem.
00:06:45 It's about 20 hours long.
00:06:46 He goes through the whole history and does a good job of doing it from both sides. 0.97
00:06:51 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 So there's about a millennia of different occurrences that they would get kicked out
00:07:02 of different countries, kicked out of different cities, persecuted here.
00:07:05 And we have to be honest, a good amount of it was maybe they were kicked out for usury. 0.97
00:07:09 So they would give high interest loans to Christians. 0.94
00:07:12 Christians were not allowed in the first Christendom to charge usury to one another. 0.99
00:07:16 But Jews, they were allowed to charge outsiders usury. 1.00
00:07:18 And Christians kind of appreciated the loop. 1.00
00:07:21 So they would get loans from Jews and they would be high interest. 1.00
00:07:23 And then you kind of realize like, well, we could actually just kick these people out 1.00
00:07:26 and we wouldn't owe them anything.
00:07:27 We've got the money. We have the recipes. These people can go. And so you have about a millennial.
00:07:32 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 We've got the bagel recipe. We've got the lox recipe. We've got the usury recipe.
00:07:42 Real quick, speaking of reasons of Jews getting kicked out, 109 different reasons, usury is one of them. 1.00
00:07:48 Also, if you've ever wondered, why are there ridges on the sides of coins? 0.99
00:07:53 right so coin clipping was a thing and there were many people who did it but the jews were
00:07:58 infamous for the practice uh they coined the practice and uh and were you know fairly you
00:08:06 know fairly regular in in doing that um other people joined them along the way uh but i was
00:08:11 thinking you know i've heard a lot of talk about making a charlie kirk coin i've given this some
00:08:17 thought right i'm going to be careful with this but i think it needs to be said charlie kirk loved
00:08:21 him some Israel. And we both appreciate Charlie Kirk. We did a lot of episodes talking about
00:08:26 the tragedy of his assassination and everything that took place. I mean, honestly, I can't bring
00:08:35 myself really to believe that it was Tyler Robinson, or at least that he wasn't helped.
00:08:40 Maybe he was a piece of the puzzle or Patsy, but I definitely don't think that he pulled it off
00:08:46 alone. The details just don't seem to line up. But that said, that doesn't necessarily mean
00:08:51 that Bibi Netanyahu himself was, you know, hiding in a building. So I'm not necessarily going that
00:08:56 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 Israel. We appreciate him. He did a lot of good things. But that's one thing that we would
00:09:07 staunchly disagree with, his infatuation for Israel. And yes, I understand that towards the
00:09:12 end of his life, he was starting to sour on some of his positions with Israel and starting to say
00:09:16 some different things. And it's, you know, it certainly is intriguing to think where that
00:09:22 trajectory would have eventually ended up. And who's to say? I don't know. And there are plenty
00:09:28 of people who say that they do know, but nobody really has produced receipts. Like, well, I talked
00:09:33 to Charlie personally, and I have all these text messages. Well, we've yet to see those. And so
00:09:38 who's to say where he would have ended up? But it is true that even in his public rhetoric over
00:09:44 the last couple months of his life, he definitely was souring on Israel in terms of this war in
00:09:50 Gaza, and seemed to be souring on Netanyahu in particular. But if there was a Charlie Kirk coin,
00:09:58 in the spirit of Charlie Kirk, maybe not the last two months, Charlie Kirk, where he's starting to
00:10:01 shift in his rhetoric on Israel, but Charlie Kirk, as we knew him, his decade-long, you know,
00:10:06 public life, being a massive, powerful advocate for Israel, I think that the Charlie Kirk coin
00:10:13 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 loved he loved israel he believed in those guys and so uh in in honor of charlie kirk we're going
00:10:26 to have one coin without ridges get it out there circulate it and just see how long it lasts before
00:10:31 that bad boy where you start getting nickels and you're like wait a second pieces yep and and it
00:10:36 would really prove a lot of things so that's what coin clipping is for anyone like what does that
00:10:39 I mean, it's literally shaving the edges of it.
00:10:42 So you're able to, if I gave you a quarter,
00:10:44 the quarter's supposed to weigh how many grams?
00:10:46 And back in the day when it's actually made out of silver.
00:10:49 So it's precious metal.
00:10:50 And you're shaved.
00:10:51 Yeah, exactly.
00:10:51 Tiny little bits of it off so you can melt it down
00:10:53 and technically pay people less. 1.00
00:10:56 It's honestly the most Jewish thing I've ever heard. 1.00
00:10:58 You've got to admire the hustle. 1.00
00:11:00 I could go out.
00:11:00 I could work a job.
00:11:02 I could be productive.
00:11:03 Or I could sit here for six hours and I could clip and peel coins
00:11:06 to make an extra five bucks.
00:11:07 Just a little shaving, little shaving, little shaving.
00:11:09 or charge a little interest, little interest, little interest.
00:11:12 It's taking something, contributing nothing, right?
00:11:15 But taking something that somebody else built
00:11:17 and thinking, hey, somebody built something.
00:11:20 How can I somehow benefit from what they built?
00:11:24 That's usury.
00:11:25 That's coin clipping.
00:11:26 That's a whole lot of different things
00:11:27 that many people, again, have been involved in.
00:11:30 But historically speaking,
00:11:31 Jews have been very involved in those practices.
00:11:34 So for reasons, like we just mentioned,
00:11:36 some of them very valid, 0.89
00:11:37 some of them very violent and unchristian, 0.63
00:11:39 number of programs, number of anti-Semitism programs across Europe, the rise of nationalism
00:11:43 in Europe in the 1800s, a movement emerges called Zionism. Now, most peoples, when they're, for 0.79
00:11:49 example, taken captive, they're spread over the earth, most of them typically intermarry and they
00:11:53 disappear. The Jews are actually an incredible story kind of through the millennia, that it was
00:11:57 through kind of keeping money in-house, keeping marriage, intermarriage only within the clan,
00:12:02 that they actually survived for over a thousand years as an insular group. Now, their continuity
00:12:06 with the Jews of the Bible, with Abraham's seed,
00:12:10 that's ambiguous at best.
00:12:11 I don't think anyone has a claim to say.
00:12:13 And we've kept our line, we've kept our records
00:12:15 all the way from the time of Abraham.
00:12:17 Those were destroyed at the temple.
00:12:19 So you certainly have a group of people. 1.00
00:12:20 Real quick, that's vital.
00:12:22 The birth records were kept in the temple in 8070
00:12:25 when Titus sacked Jerusalem and destroyed the temple
00:12:29 so that the prophecies of Jesus in Matthew 24,
00:12:32 the Olivet Discourse, were fulfilled word for word,
00:12:35 not one stone left on another right these stones of the temple were inlaid with gold and so the
00:12:42 romans actually took each stone apart and shaved off the gold right so it's similar to you know
00:12:47 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 silver with coins or shaving gold off of stones these practices are ancient and and there's quite
00:12:58 a heritage there but but in the temple that's where the birth records were kept and so records
00:13:03 began anew, but you have, you know, arguably close to about a 300-year gap.
00:13:10 Ashkenazi Jews emerged about 600 to 700 is the earliest as an insular self-defined group.
00:13:15 In that case, you have, you know, you have a 600-year gap. But I've heard some guys argue
00:13:20 that some sectors, you know, some sectors, Jewish sectors, you know, could date back to like the
00:13:26 mid-300s. But my point is that even in that case, you still have this 300-year gap or Ashkenazi,
00:13:31 you have a 600-year gap. And so the idea of like, well, we are the direct, you know,
00:13:37 descendants, genetic descendants. No, like it's, look, you've rejected Christ. You've rejected
00:13:44 the covenant. There is no covenantal continuity whatsoever because the temple's destroyed.
00:13:49 You're not making sacrifices. You're not able to practice any of the old covenant practices
00:13:54 of Judaism. So covenantally, there's a disconnect. Genetically, there's no way to prove it. And it
00:14:01 matters because i think of the book of ezra which our church preached through you know um not that
00:14:05 long ago um in the book of ezra when when the israelites finally are released from captivity
00:14:10 in babylon after just 70 years this is just 70 years so maybe you know arguably two generations
00:14:16 they had to prove uh their pedigree in order to go back with ezra the priest and with nehemiah
00:14:23 with these guys to go back to israel to be a part of the restoration project to rebuild jerusalem
00:14:29 the walls, the temple, and all these things. They had to actually prove their pedigree with
00:14:34 documentation. They actually had to have the documentation. If they couldn't prove it,
00:14:39 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 rebuilding of Jerusalem project after it had been dismantled for only 70 years, in this case,
00:14:52 still had to be genetically pure. They had to be of this genetic line, lineage.
00:14:59 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 are not consumed. He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. If God's standards are immutable,
00:15:09 unchanging, and he's the same God yesterday, today, and forever, why would he, for some reason,
00:15:14 have lower standards now than he had then? If 70 years, God looks at that and says, look,
00:15:22 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 my people and be a part of this covenant promise they actually have to be of this lineage this
00:15:32 line and they have to prove it with written documentation and not just their own word
00:15:36 their own say so um why would all of a sudden now in the new testament why would god say oh
00:15:43 600 year gap for ashkenazi jews nobody can prove it with any documentation that's fine right that's
00:15:50 just that's a different god that's a different standard that's a that's a different mechanism
00:15:55 So covenantally, there's no continuity.
00:15:58 Genetically, there's no way to prove continuity.
00:16:01 So in what way are the people in Israel today God's chosen people?
00:16:05 And of course, the answer is in no discernible way whatsoever.
00:16:09 Right.
00:16:10 So all that said, all that persecution, all the wandering around leads to a movement called Zionism in the 1800s,
00:16:15 specifically most located in Britain. 0.52
00:16:18 Affluent Jews had the money and they had the means.
00:16:20 And they began petitioning the British government for the right to have some land.
00:16:24 And so you think about different people dispersed in Britain and Germany and Italy, Russia.
00:16:29 There's a number of Jews there. 1.00
00:16:30 They were up to some nefarious things in the early 1900s. 0.99
00:16:33 But you had an international community. 0.89
00:16:35 I mean, Henry Ford, the international Jew.
00:16:37 And they always said, hey, to avoid the persecution we've been getting for hundreds of years at this point,
00:16:42 to avoid keeping it kicked out, to avoid all this persecution, we need our own land.
00:16:47 And it's interesting, early on, they didn't settle on Palestine initially.
00:16:50 They didn't start going immediately to the British government.
00:16:53 And Theodore Herzl, he's the author of The Jewish State.
00:16:56 He was a big rhetorician for the establishment of a Jewish homeland.
00:17:00 Initially, at one point in 1903, the British government said,
00:17:03 would you guys like Uganda?
00:17:04 And they're kind of working out, like, could Jews kind of settle here in Uganda?
00:17:08 There were some places in South America that were proposed.
00:17:10 And eventually, what was settled upon was,
00:17:13 why not literally just take back the land that we claim to have descended from?
00:17:17 Jews could claim, like, well, here's Jerusalem, 0.76
00:17:21 And here's the cities that David captured, the ones that Joshua conquered in Canaan.
00:17:26 And they had some level of claim to, again, just taking the name themselves, lacking the
00:17:30 covenantal, lacking the genealogy of continuity.
00:17:32 But still, they called themselves Jews. 0.92
00:17:34 They claimed a continuity of the practices and said, why not go for it all? 0.90
00:17:38 Why not ask?
00:17:40 Why not manipulate?
00:17:41 Why not give towards, donation, support, migration? 1.00
00:17:45 Why not Palestine? 0.64
00:17:47 And the big moment that this comes out is where there really actually gets to be momentum
00:17:51 behind it, is what's called the Balfour Declaration.
00:17:53 So Arthur Balfour is a British minister of foreign affairs, and he writes a letter to
00:17:58 Walter Rothschild in 1917, again it's called the Balfour Declaration, declaring that British
00:18:03 is going to actually support the settlement of Jews in Palestine as their permanent home.
00:18:08 This is from the letter, it says, His Majesty's government, that is the British government,
00:18:12 views with favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,
00:18:16 and will use their best endeavors to facilitate the achievement of this object,
00:18:21 it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done
00:18:24 which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine
00:18:28 or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.
00:18:33 One obvious wrinkle in the plan was that there was a lot of people in Palestine already.
00:18:38 So you had British Jews that were lobbying the British government, lobbying elsewhere.
00:18:42 We would like our own homeland.
00:18:44 We would like to live in Palestine. 1.00
00:18:45 We want it all back. 1.00
00:18:46 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 settle? Obviously the big one, can we be self-governed? Now between 1917 and 1948, when the
00:18:57 state of Israel was established, just a little event happened known as World War II. And obviously
00:19:03 the Nuremberg trials in 1945, all that continues to lead to this point where internationally Jews
00:19:08 are saying, we want a homeland. We want to go somewhere and we would like this land. The United
00:19:14 Nations forms what's called Resolution 181. Resolution 181 essentially proposed, it wasn't
00:19:20 binding, it wasn't a decree. The UN is newly formed at the time. The UN proposes Resolution 181 that
00:19:25 says, what about a two-state solution? You have the Arabs that are there, and Jews have actually
00:19:30 begun to migrate. Germany kicked a number of them out. They went to Palestine. Others had gotten
00:19:35 word, hey, we're going to establish a Jewish state. So they had immigrated to Israel, and you obviously
00:19:39 had the Arabs there, and they'd actually already been engaged in a civil war since 1947. Do you
00:19:44 have the two factions there. They're starting to fight it out. It's kind of this civil war back and
00:19:48 forth. And the UN proposes, well, how about a two-state solution wherein the Arabs govern this 0.64
00:19:53 side, this part, the Jews have this part, and Jerusalem actually would kind of be under
00:19:58 international facilitated management. So you have their own governments here, their own governments
00:20:03 here in Jerusalem as a bit of a neutral middle site. The Arabs did not like it. The Jews were
00:20:07 like, yes, give it to us. And essentially the month that Britain basically relinquished control 0.94
00:20:12 of Palestine. Britain had control of Palestine from about 1920 to 1948. If you guys remember,
00:20:17 the British Empire at the beginning of the 1900s, it basically ruled the known world. And so they
00:20:21 had come to Palestine. It's funny, they said it was deemed unfit for self-governance. That's what
00:20:26 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 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 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 empire has shrunk by this time, and essentially they relinquish control in accordance with the
00:20:44 Balfour Declaration. The UN comes out, hey, under this declaration, we would like to see Jews kind
00:20:48 of establish their own thing, and Israel seizes that opportunity. Ben-Gurion was the name of the 0.97
00:20:53 first Israeli president at the time. They stake their flag, and they declare themselves, we are
00:20:59 going to be the Jewish state here in Palestine. And it kicks off about a year-long war with the
00:21:03 Arabs that are there. There's a big consolidation, so the areas that the Jews claimed as theirs
00:21:07 obviously kicked out and ethnically cleansed the Arabs that were there. The Arabs fought back.
00:21:12 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 2025, so you're looking at about 75 years, there's been constant conflict with the Muslims in that
00:21:22 area. Because again, a group of people dropped themselves in and said, this is going to be our
00:21:28 land now, without the genealogical continuity. So these are not people that can prove, no, we
00:21:34 literally lived here. We were carried off here. We're directly descended from people who used to
00:21:38 live here. They don't have that. They, of course, don't have a temple. You have to realize, modern
00:21:43 Judaism, there's no temple. Think of Yom Kippur with sacrifices. Where did all Orthodox Jews 0.91
00:21:48 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 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 a connection. And so this group of people plopped themselves down. They settled there. And I
00:22:03 understand for the record the impulse we want our own nation we've been persecuted here we've been
00:22:07 kicked out of here that one you know maybe a little bit our fault but in general we just want
00:22:11 a land to call our own well they got it in the last 75 years have basically been uh unending
00:22:16 conflict there was just the thing is there was other land it did not have to be it did not have
00:22:21 to be a land that was currently uh already inhabited where there would it would just be a
00:22:26 recipe for non-stop war the west is responsible uh great britain in large part but the united
00:22:32 states we immediately came out recognized israel as a state uh the west collectively is responsible
00:22:38 for putting them there and we made a decision that i i believe we shouldn't have and by putting
00:22:45 them there because we did it uh we have had to basically prop them up ever since uh whether it's
00:22:51 you know just financial funding billions and billions and trillions even of dollars you know
00:22:56 tax dollars going to israel uh having to mediate multiple wars donald trump now having to come and
00:23:02 try to mediate between iran you know and get hamas to come to the table and relinquish
00:23:07 you know uh they're you know the the hostages and all these different things we've it's it's
00:23:12 been 75 years of hell it's been 75 years of non-stop conflict and there were other solutions
00:23:18 palestine was not the only place madagascar somebody threw that you know threw that out
00:23:24 there as an option uh it was swiftly turned down but they believe uganda wasn't like let's do it
00:23:30 yeah make it happen there were other options um but we put here's an option in a place that's
00:23:34 highly contested assimilation yes assimilate to the people that you live with right like hey i
00:23:40 live in germany hey i live in britain a lot of british jews at the time were actually mad about
00:23:44 zionism because they were actually doing well they had assimilated to british culture to some
00:23:48 degree or another hopefully converted and they were just they were like no i call myself british 0.95
00:23:53 and you're over here actually coming in.
00:23:54 You're trying to drive a wedge.
00:23:56 Well, there's British people, and there's European people, 0.98
00:23:58 and there's Christian people. 1.00
00:23:59 I'm going to drive a wedge between, and there's the Jewish people, 1.00
00:24:02 and we will always forever be this separate column. 1.00
00:24:05 That's the big thing that you can do, and I think is biblical.
00:24:08 Our people got carried off.
00:24:09 We got carried off in judgment.
00:24:10 We were conquered. 0.52
00:24:11 We rejected our Messiah.
00:24:13 So instead of keeping as an in-group and enduring persecution
00:24:16 for thousands of years and having to move and never really being able,
00:24:20 this is why they did usury.
00:24:21 they they could never own land they couldn't have farms they were always they were always
00:24:26 in the margins they were never they were always guests and and very often unwanted guests but
00:24:33 guests and because they didn't have their own land you know they're always living somewhere else as
00:24:38 sojourners and there would be certain laws against them because they weren't the native people so
00:24:42 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 and do usury and lending and, you know, other forms of ways of producing an income. But one
00:24:54 thing that they could have done all along over the last 2,000 years is exactly what you're saying.
00:24:59 I think that that's really insightful. They could have assimilated and said, look, God judged us
00:25:03 and God in his providence destroyed our country. He destroyed our nation because we rejected
00:25:11 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 sins, believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ, and assimilate into one of these dozens of Christian
00:25:24 countries where we've been welcomed, and the problem would have been solved. Absolutely.
00:25:29 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 highlight the distinction, the West Bank. But when we talk about Gaza, and we talk about the Gaza
00:25:38 Strip and the West Bank. I think of the chant of leftist protesters on college campuses,
00:25:42 from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. And so you have the Jordan River there
00:25:46 on your right side in the east, all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. And this was what was
00:25:51 originally Palestine. It was called by Britain Mandatory Palestine. They just administered this
00:25:55 whole area. There was no Jewish state. There was no Arab state. But as it is now, you have the Gaza
00:25:59 Strip, which we'll get to in a minute, and then the West Bank. And the West Bank, Israel took over,
00:26:03 I think it was 2008. And they've been continually pushing out Gazans that live there. So
00:26:08 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 administered it for a while. But the big point of contention is the existence of the Islamic
00:26:17 terrorist group Hamas down in the southern western corner. If you're not looking here on the map,
00:26:21 Gaza Strip is a tiny place. It's only got a couple cities, a couple towns with Gaza there in the
00:26:26 north. It's not huge. So it's this small little alcove that still remains Palestinian. And
00:26:32 politically and militarily, it's administered by an Islamic terrorist group known as Hamas,
00:26:37 which is an abbreviation from the Aramaic.
00:26:39 And they've existed there since about 1987.
00:26:42 They're probably an offshoot of the Islamic Brotherhood. 0.84
00:26:46 And there's no sugarcoating it or kind of half doing 50-50. 0.99
00:26:52 They've been a pain in Israel's butt for a long time. 0.98
00:26:54 Tunnel attack and rocket attacks have been the biggest one 0.99
00:26:57 because, as you can see, they're right there.
00:27:01 They're backed up to the sea.
00:27:02 They've got Egypt down there. 1.00
00:27:03 Egypt does not want them. 0.96
00:27:04 So Egypt's not there like, oh, our beloved brothers, we would love to help you. 0.96
00:27:09 Egypt doesn't want them. 0.98
00:27:11 Israel doesn't want them to exist at all.
00:27:13 You've got the sea over on that side.
00:27:15 And so that's where all of this contention comes to rest.
00:27:18 What do we do with the Gaza Strip?
00:27:20 The Gaza Strip, before the war at least, was incredibly populated.
00:27:24 It had the density greater than New York City.
00:27:27 Just squeezed in.
00:27:29 And this is not skyscraper city.
00:27:31 So you think of New York City where you have skyscrapers and condos.
00:27:33 I mean, literally just towering above the land. 0.99
00:27:37 Not really in Gaza.
00:27:38 I mean, these are not brilliant, high-achieving, high-GDP output. 1.00
00:27:43 They're native Palestinians, Arabs, mostly Muslims,
00:27:46 that have lived there for probably a couple thousand years,
00:27:49 and they're a nomadic people.
00:27:51 They're just, they live there, 0.65
00:27:52 and Islam has basically, again, through Hamas, 1.00
00:27:55 worked its way in.
00:27:56 It's their political system.
00:27:57 It's their military system. 0.96
00:27:58 They have control of that area.
00:28:00 let's go ahead and show some pictures of what how gaza has changed the last two years and i think
00:28:05 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 be a drone flyover so we'll go ahead and start with this one
00:28:30 absolutely decimated when i asked joel earlier he said i get that but to be fair did gaza look
00:28:54 like that before which is a valid question i'm going to show actually another this is a second
00:28:58 one. This is a before and an after of Gaza from two years ago, so summer 2023 before the October
00:29:04 7th attack, and then Gaza as of September of this year.
00:29:28 it looks like um reminds me of before and after pictures of la like a 2019 and then a 2021
00:29:36 oh yeah after the riots i feel like there are some american cities some parts of portland
00:29:42 some parts of chicago south chicago wait from the 70s and 80s or from coven
00:29:47 from uh from basically before the summer of love george floyd and then after um especially
00:29:54 indianapolis undoubtedly uh that is horrific that's absolutely horrific uh gaza has been
00:30:00 completely devastated and again you're talking about a place before the war that had the the
00:30:06 density the population density greater than new york city right more than anywhere else in the u.s
00:30:11 more people live per square mile and again not high performing high achieving high gdp productive 0.99
00:30:18 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 it has been pretty much leveled. This map will actually end with this before our segment break. 1.00
00:30:27 This is a map right now of Gaza. And so you have on the very outside, the IDF has complete control
00:30:32 now, the Gaza Strip on the outside. So you only have a couple gates. Imagine if you left getting
00:30:37 in to see family members, to go back, to get maybe things that you would have there. Very hard to do.
00:30:41 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 journalists, right? So a journalist cannot just come up from Egypt and get in there and see what's
00:30:50 going on. Everything around the perimeter is completely controlled by the IDF. The red zone
00:30:55 right there, so if you're watching, I would say about 30, 40 percent of it is covered in a red
00:30:59 zone. This is the place where the city, the land, totally decimated. We're talking complete ruin.
00:31:04 Nobody's still kind of living there. It has been completely ruined. And yellow is where, again,
00:31:09 you've got a lot of bombardment. You've got a lot of damage. But those are places where people are
00:31:13 still managing to live. So a lot of people that would have been in blue, been in red prior to the
00:31:17 war, they've been forced into the yellow area, understandably. Starvation, understandably. A lot
00:31:24 of difficulty. Hamas somewhere in there as prisoners, obviously. And that's where Israel
00:31:28 has been conducting strikes for essentially the last two years. Yeah. All right. Let's head to our
00:31:33 first commercial break and we'll get back and we'll talk now about the political ramifications
00:31:37 and fallouts from this. Hey, friends. Grey Toad Tallow is a family business making skin care the

00:33:04 America is a country that was founded for the purpose of allowing Christians to do their duty
00:33:08 before God and not to have their consciences ruled by the doctrines and commandments of men.
00:33:12 Reese Fund exists in order to see the Ten Commandments properly applied, not just as a
00:33:17 plaque on the wall, but to actually be used in business as though they're commandments from God
00:33:22 that we're supposed to obey. Our goal is to find businesses and to buy them and to build them up.
00:33:28 We want to find manufacturing businesses and use them to make sure that we can maintain our
00:33:32 capacity to do things here. Reese Fund, Christian Capital, boldly deployed.
00:33:40 All right. So on Friday, we were live when it happened. Hamas agreed tentatively to a peace
00:33:47 deal. Now, just as a reminder of October 7th, take a look at this that's on the screen here.
00:33:51 This was Operation Al-Aqwasa, blood against Israel.
00:33:55 These are where the attacks happened.
00:33:57 So remember I showed you the Gaza Strip.
00:33:58 It's in the southwest corner of modern-day Palestine.
00:34:02 And they basically struck out at Israel in their very near proximity.
00:34:06 So this is a very small amount of Israel.
00:34:08 They didn't strike Tel Aviv.
00:34:09 They didn't strike Jerusalem, for example.
00:34:12 And it was about 1,200 people total that died on October 7th.
00:34:15 We're coming up on the two-year anniversary of, and again, all the devastation,
00:34:19 everything that's happened to Gaza. 0.66
00:34:20 It's been in the wake of it.
00:34:21 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 Now, as you said in the cold open, Trump is a peacemaker and he touted this a lot.
00:34:33 During his first administration, he's correct, there were no new major wars, right?
00:34:38 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 hundreds of thousands of people have died. October 7th, 2023, so just two years after him
00:34:52 leaving office, you had the biggest breakout of conflict in the Palestine area. Basically 75
00:34:58 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 honest, we have to be honest, we're nine months in, he's not been successful yet. The Russia-Ukrainian
00:35:07 war is still going on, and the Israel-Hamas war is still going on. So I think Trump here is
00:35:12 desperate for a win. This is comical. If you can see the screen, you can see the word that he says.
00:35:19 But when Trump called up Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, this was on Friday, to tell him,
00:35:24 hey, this deal that we put out forward to Hamas, they've accepted parts of it. They want others. 0.68
00:35:29 Netanyahu initially said, I don't know why you're celebrating. Why are you celebrating this? We
00:35:33 don't want this. We wanted much more. And that's funny. Trump came out and he said, this is what
00:35:38 you'll see on your screen, the headline. Trump to Netanyahu on Gaza. You're always so blanking.
00:35:42 negative. So true. So true. Because Trump wants peace. Right. Netanyahu, on the other hand, 0.64
00:35:49 as you alluded to, he's pretty unpopular. This is from January 2024, a Reuters poll that said
00:35:55 only 15 percent of Israelis want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stay in office after the
00:36:00 war on Hamas in Gaza ends. Fifteen percent want him to stay in office. But many more still support
00:36:06 his strategy of crushing the militants in the Palestinian enclave, according to a poll published
00:36:10 on Tuesday. I recognize this is about a year and a half ago, but it highlights he was unpopular
00:36:16 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 the U.N. A number of people walked out when he spoke. There's calls for sanctions. I just saw
00:36:25 tens of thousands of people in Amsterdam rallied for an anti-Israeli protest, essentially saying,
00:36:32 take the deal, get peace, and let's stop having war in Gaza that is causing all of this
00:36:38 humanitarian suffering. And so Benjamin Netanyahu is unpopular. He's facing a lot of international
00:36:43 pressure. And practically speaking, he's actually under three distinct trials in, and that's not
00:36:50 counting the international court as well. So there's an international compliance court that
00:36:53 has called on him to answer for the crimes. They call it crimes against humanity during the war
00:36:57 in Gaza. But there's also three internal Israeli investigations for basically bribery, favors,
00:37:03 the typical political things now here's a great thing that happens during a war all the people
00:37:08 that don't like you they take the second shelf uh we think of uh why am i blanking ukrainian
00:37:14 president zelensky zelensky he suspended elections while the war's going on yep how convenient he
00:37:20 wanted to stay in power guys for your safety we're not going to have an election where i could be
00:37:24 potentially ousted and in the same way for netanyahu uh one of these investigations the
00:37:29 prosecution uh they stated their case they rested in 2024 he was giving his side of it too and then
00:37:36 the trial experienced multiple delays most recently in june 2025 when the court granted a temporary
00:37:42 postponement citing diplomatic and national security measures during the conflict with
00:37:47 iran so even just this summer when israel attacked iran we all remember that uh well how convenient
00:37:54 that also delayed the court cases that are going against him right so politically unpopular he's
00:38:00 under judicial review facing a lot of pressure at home and internationally the whole world is
00:38:05 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 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 old conflicts like yeah that's true um there's that element and that's real and it's undeniable
00:38:24 but there's also present-day political warfare um that is a massive cause to um a lot of the
00:38:33 conflict uh trump wants it to end it's in his best interest that it ends and i think really i
00:38:39 think objectively it's the world's best interest uh that this conflict ends uh whereas in the case
00:38:45 of Netanyahu. For him, the moment that there's finally peace and resolution, his political
00:38:53 career is probably over. And so he has no incentive to end the war. Yep. So the tenets of the deal
00:39:00 that Hamas has tentatively agreed to, a big one is the returning of hostages. They have a number
00:39:04 of hostages and they've agreed to return them. But more permanently, it establishes a kind of
00:39:08 temporary makeshift governance. And a big part of it is the disarmament. So they're asking Hamas to
00:39:14 disarm, that the Gaza region would be disarmed. However, it would remain 0.94
00:39:18 politically distinct. And as of now, Trump went to, it was Egypt, I think, where the negotiations
00:39:22 were being held. He's sounding optimistic. This is actually just from 10 minutes ago.
00:39:26 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 happening. Great. It was reported by Axis over the weekend that you had a call with Prime Minister
00:39:34 Desanyahu where you told him to stop being so negative and to take the win
00:39:38 when it came to Hamas' response to that. Is that true? No, it's not true.
00:39:42 he's been very positive he's been very positive on the deal everybody is i think every nation is
00:39:47 we have just about every nation working on this deal and trying to get it done something that
00:39:53 you could say 3 000 years if you look at it in certain ways or you could say centuries but this
00:39:58 is a deal that incredibly everyone just came together they all came together no israel's been
00:40:04 great they've all been good kayla and in the negotiations do you have any red lines in terms of
00:40:08 of Hamas disarming and whatnot?
00:40:11 Are there-
00:40:12 No, I have red lines.
00:40:13 If certain things aren't met, we're not going to do it.
00:40:15 But I think we're doing very well. 0.87
00:40:17 And I think Hamas has been agreeing to things that are very important. 0.88
00:40:25 There you go.
00:40:26 Mandatory little love for Israel there.
00:40:28 Israel's been great.
00:40:29 It was funny.
00:40:29 There was, I think it was during the summer, it sounded like they were falling out.
00:40:32 Yeah.
00:40:33 I mean, the prime minister of Israel.
00:40:34 Yeah.
00:40:34 First phone calls, calls not being answered.
00:40:37 they found a way to make up though they said there are millions of evangelicals depending
00:40:43 on this relationship we need to kiss and make up we need to make it happen uh but basically he's
00:40:47 saying look the world at this point wants this this is not just a small tiny that's what james
00:40:52 lindsey was trying to say there's a small tiny faction of protesters that are against israel
00:40:56 no the whole world is saying yeah we're seeing the pictures we're seeing the videos we're seeing
00:41:01 what's being done the whole un walked out you got them yet yeah right yep so it'll be interesting
00:41:07 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 However, again, this comes during a time when Israel's popularity has never been lower.
00:41:19 You can see it. I can see it. It's not astroturfed.
00:41:22 This is a decades-long decline.
00:41:24 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 but in the last two years since the start of the war we're talking about a massive drop in
00:41:37 popularity so they're coming out of this war not as popular as ever not with more support in the
00:41:42 u.s but with a lot less support and interestingly i'm interested how this can play in the midterms
00:41:46 is support for israel in their war against tamas wasn't a factor will that allow anti-israel
00:41:53 representatives anti-israel senators to have a better chance because the campaign won't be about
00:41:58 that the speaker of the house uh mike johnson loves him some israel and he said privately i
00:42:05 think it was always a mike mike huckabee mike johnson mike johnson mike mike mike do you want
00:42:10 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 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 through primary process that gets elected in the house of representatives that's anti-israel so
00:42:23 even here in the u.s there's a recognition this anti-israel coalition is growing people want to
00:42:29 be done with them people don't want to support marjorie we don't play our cards right example
00:42:33 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 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 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 has taken a stand on this issue and uh yeah some of you know the usual suspects some of your neocons
00:42:57 and things like that and i say some uh like 90 percent of them hate her absolutely hate her
00:43:02 but in terms of grassroots like american citizens the people themselves she's a star they they
00:43:08 really really really like her matt gates as well is a big one they like him a lot and not just
00:43:13 because literally on that issue that's his only thing but they're like he's solid here he's great
00:43:17 here and also he gets the times he gets because yeah people are they're done with israel and and
00:43:23 more than just being done with israel it's not just about that um it's not just that people are
00:43:28 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 what they're starting is people are really starting to say wait a second like why aren't we america
00:43:37 first why don't we prioritize our country first and i think as the boomers i mean you look at like
00:43:44 some of the statistics that I've seen just in the last week of like where wealth currently is being
00:43:49 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 wealth is boomers one generation. And, and then you get to like Gen Z and they have, you know, 0.52
00:44:04 like they empty their pockets and there's like a cigarette butt, you know, and a stick of bubble
00:44:08 gum, you know, and maybe a button that came off of their shirt and that's it. That's, I mean,
00:44:12 that's like their life savings. Um, and you know, they're younger, but, uh, but, but it's not just
00:44:17 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 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 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 how many years you had lived and how much time you had to accumulate wealth, well, then you would 0.65
00:44:36 expect that, you know, Gen X would be, you know, somewhere close to boomers, nowhere, even close. 0.57
00:44:41 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 and then it was like 18% something like that 19% millennials and then like you know five or six or
00:45:12 seven percent for Gen Z so you're talking like all these other three other generations Gen X
00:45:18 millennials and Gen Z all of them collectively maybe maybe collectively having about half the
00:45:24 wealth of one generation boomers and so my point is aside from Israel Israel is just one of the 0.76
00:45:30 most blatant, obvious examples of our own leaders, our own politicians being treasonous and actually 0.75
00:45:36 caring about another nation more than our own. But it's not just that. If everybody was buying
00:45:41 houses and everybody was building wealth and, you know, things were good at home and we didn't have
00:45:46 career criminals, you know, who have been charged 14 times and then let out again and stabbing,
00:45:51 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 many different variables. It's that the kids are not all right, right? The kids are not all right 0.51
00:46:03 and people feel that. The kids feel that. Some parents don't care, but other parents do and
00:46:10 they feel that and feel a sense of sympathy and concern for their children. How are our children
00:46:14 going to be able to have a life that we've had and provide for our grandchildren the kind of life
00:46:19 that we've had or anything even remotely close to it? So you look at economics, you look at
00:46:25 crime that's massive you look at immigration how we're being flooded by all these foreign peoples 1.00
00:46:30 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 middle east who just just keeps picking fights with everybody um and and then also says money
00:46:44 please money please comes in and tells us that their event was worse than our 9-11 yeah literally
00:46:49 more people died stood in front of what was it congress or house of reps or something but he
00:46:55 stood before american politicians and uh and literally said i think he said 20 times was the
00:47:01 number he said uh what happened on october 7th to israel was 20 times worse than um than september
00:47:07 11th and the point that he was trying to make right to steel man the argument which is very
00:47:12 charitable on my part i might add because i'm impressed such a terrible thing to say that it
00:47:17 really, you know, it merits no defense. But what he was trying to do was he was looking at, here's
00:47:22 the overall population of Israel, and here's the overall population of America. And here's, you
00:47:28 know, what percentage of Israelis died in October 7th, and then saying the percentage of those who
00:47:35 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 in terms of percentages, well, it was, you know, the percentage of Israel's total population that
00:47:48 died on October 7th was 20 times greater than the percentage that died on September 11th of
00:47:53 America's overall population. Still, the point is to come into our country and to belittle and 0.96
00:47:59 minimize our tragedies, to say your American tragedy, that Israel was actually responsible 0.63
00:48:05 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 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 tragedy right 25 year olds they they cannot afford to get married and to have children 0.69
00:48:26 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 percentage of men i guess own a home and married by 30 what percentage of your men and your
00:48:35 population have achieved these markers by 30 like a fifth of what the prior generation was right
00:48:41 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 getting married they don't have jobs to your point all of these things it kind of feels like and this
00:48:49 is what we've been talking about i think of the fourth turning episode we did a couple weeks ago
00:48:52 right all of these things are kind of coming together they're coming to there was no groundswell
00:48:57 against israel in the 90s no you guys have to understand their support this drop in support
00:49:01 after october 7th this has been generations in the making that's right yeah so it's you know it's
00:49:07 like things you know when things happen they happen all at once right like when it rains it pours so
00:49:12 it has been in the making for decades um and but then all of a sudden you know the ramifications
00:49:18 the effects are are coming to light uh but but it really has been not just you know the last two
00:49:24 years boom popularity you know um for israel has plummeted but that was that was building that
00:49:30 sentiment was building for a long time but what i was going to say when you brought up the 90s part
00:49:35 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 great israel has never been great never been great right you can't do a campaign right like nobody
00:49:45 could run on a campaign israel you know miga make israel great again well what do you what do you
00:49:49 mean like just america actually america used to be great you know and uh and so that actually makes
00:49:54 sense israel has never been great um and and so it's not like in the 90s israel was wonderful and
00:49:59 that's why, you know, American sentiment for Israel was so high. No, it was more so a number
00:50:06 of factors, but one would be media was sharply controlled in the 90s, right? You have, you know,
00:50:12 a few channels on TV. You don't have, you know, YouTube and all this, you know. So one, Americans
00:50:16 just didn't know what was going on. So there was a massive lack of information and a ton of
00:50:22 propaganda coming out of Israel and flooding, you know, our politicians, our media, and all these
00:50:26 kinds of things number two americans is my big point americans were doing relatively well in the
00:50:32 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 away with things right you'll let some things slide right if you're doing well and you've got
00:50:44 your two weeks of vacation and the kids are doing well and and you're able to you know save money
00:50:49 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 with no ads on it either i'm like the new samson fridges babe wake up new capitalism just drop
00:51:00 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 really okay we're sending some tax dollars to israel and you're not really investigating looking
00:51:11 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 things are not great right now and so when you can't afford uh basic living necessities
00:51:23 and you have multiple generations in your country that can't afford those and they're all well aware
00:51:29 that prior generations could that things actually were great and now all of a sudden it's it's your
00:51:36 your life and your opportunity and you're of age to get married and buy a home and the things that
00:51:42 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 you know tightening and restraints and you're barely getting by and then you find out because
00:51:55 now there's a flood of independent media and so like decentralized yeah and so you can see
00:52:01 you know facts that you know walter cronkite would have never shared with you back in the day
00:52:06 well i miss the days of walter cronkite he just gave us the news no he just gave you one streamlined
00:52:12 version of propaganda right and now you know it's pick your poison there's all so now that you can
00:52:19 actually see well this person's saying we're giving how many billions of dollars to israel
00:52:23 and this many billions to ukraine and this my politicians are going on us aid we were paying
00:52:29 we were paying millions of dollars to teach transgenderism to kids in pakistan like and
00:52:36 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 gaza and committing genocide right and and you know about it and you're hearing about it um then
00:52:49 yeah i mean what do you think's going to happen people are gonna be like yeah you know what this
00:52:53 relationship's not working out we're done with israel and think about every american has been
00:52:57 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 people get to vote representatives so you have theoretically this avenue my life is terrible
00:53:06 Homes are unaffordable.
00:53:07 The economy is awful.
00:53:08 You theoretically have this avenue, which is to appeal to your politicians who represent
00:53:12 you.
00:53:12 But again, the ire and the angst is, well, these people represent us.
00:53:16 And so in the wake of Charlie Kirk, Republicans who control the presidency and who control
00:53:20 the Senate and control the House, they're putting forward legislation and they're crafting
00:53:23 and they're working on rooting out leftist terrorism.
00:53:27 Oh, we're getting commemorative coins.
00:53:29 Oh, I can't afford a home.
00:53:31 And so some type of this or that or getting people out as far as immigration, which looks
00:53:35 to be deportations they seem to be on the rise but practically for years they haven't been but
00:53:40 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 another trip to israel on your dime i mean senator rick scott from florida literally flies the israeli
00:53:50 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 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 but theoretically it could be this avenue that good people represent you take your interests
00:54:06 but what they've done and what people are mad at and why they're mad kind of at both parties
00:54:10 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 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 cheating on someone right you stop going over there and having affection for this other woman
00:54:26 that's taking all your time all your money all your love come back here and help us right yep
00:54:32 so people are done they're done great let's uh i think we got a number of super chats we'll hit

00:58:03 All right, let's start with this.
00:58:04 We've got a question from Austin.
00:58:06 I'm pretty sure because we've seen him pop up in the chat from time to time.
00:58:09 And pretty, you know, he's a heckler. 0.95
00:58:12 He's a troll to say the least.
00:58:15 But he's got a question here that he thinks probably is a gotcha question, 0.60
00:58:19 but it's actually just a layup.
00:58:22 So I appreciate when the trolls, you know, just put out some red meat.
00:58:26 you know, a layup, a little, you know, tee it up for you nicely, something that's really easy.
00:58:29 So he thinks this is a really, really insightful question here. Yeah, he thought he cooked. So
00:58:34 let's go ahead and answer it because it'll be simple. He said, what do you suggest the government
00:58:38 do to lower home prices? Give specifics. It's a free market. It is a free market, not as free
00:58:44 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 something about the free market. One principle in the free market is supply and demand, supply and
00:58:55 demand. And one thing that you can do in order to lower demand, and therefore principles, prices,
00:59:04 is by ultimately having a greater supply. If something is prevalent, right, if there's
00:59:11 an abundance, a surplus of something, then the price goes down. If something is rare,
00:59:16 then the price goes up, the demand goes up. So one thing that you could do in these United States
00:59:22 of America with a population of approximately 330 million people is you could go ahead and just
00:59:28 slice off a third of the total population and send them out of the country. 100 million people
00:59:34 need to go back. 100 million people need to go back. They are not Americans. They are paperwork
00:59:40 Americans at best. Many of them are illegal. They're not even paperwork Americans, but some 1.00
00:59:45 of them are, they have some form of documentation, but they are H-1B visas. They're not actually
00:59:52 citizens. And there are even a few citizens that also need to go back. Ilhan Omar, she would be at
00:59:58 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 admission. That's not just by my, you know, heritage American standard. Ilhan Omar would be
01:00:09 the first to tell you and has said it publicly several times that her ultimate allegiance is to
01:00:15 Somalia, right? That's where her allegiance lies. So if you take non-Americans who do not belong
01:00:21 in this country, and there's approximately 100 million of them, and get rid of them to where 1.00
01:00:26 all of a sudden a third of the houses in our country are now empty, what happens in a free
01:00:33 market with supply and demand to the principles, the prices. What happens is that they go down.
01:00:39 They go down significantly, significantly, because now you have the dwelling places
01:00:46 to ultimately host 330 million people, but now there's only 220 million people who need those
01:00:53 houses. And so in order to compete, when you're trying to sell your property, you have to take
01:00:58 the price down because there are less buyers and there's more supply than there actually is demand
01:01:04 that's one simple solution that would take probably i would say on average would take
01:01:09 a five hundred thousand dollar house and cut it down to about 320 350 yeah um and we saw we had
01:01:17 for 24 hours something that kind of looked like this plan the h1b visa fee so there was a moment
01:01:22 there for 24 hours where uh the department of immigration said hey as far as h1b visas go this
01:01:27 is a skilled laborer position so theoretically it's jobs that are above they get 60k and their
01:01:33 jobs supposedly that americans can't do there is going to be a fee attached all right you've got
01:01:37 a skill we can literally fill this with no american they can't do the job you've got a
01:01:41 skill to offer us you also need to pay a hundred thousand dollars that would have leveled flat
01:01:46 oh yeah h1b visa immigration and it was a lot fewer people coming here would have affected
01:01:50 principals like andrew isker and not immediately but over the next couple years over the next
01:01:54 couple of years, Andrew Isker, I sent you a screenshot. He texted me, you know, I thought
01:01:58 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 he was thinking about our area. He's been out here and visited a couple of times and he knows
01:02:06 that we are, uh, we are heavy with our, um, uh, our Indian population here in, uh, the Austin
01:02:14 area. And I mean, it is insane. And Dallas is worse apparently. So it's bad year. The Frisco 1.00
01:02:19 costco uh video that somebody posted the displeasure dude somebody posted uh a video of uh
01:02:26 costco uh in frisco uh which i guess that would be uh california but i think there's a frisco
01:02:31 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 the audio uh they had like some indian music and uh and it was literally like this one white guy
01:02:44 just going around filming not a single non-indian in sight i mean just it had to have been you know
01:02:50 a few hundred indians and and no one but indians and so um so anyways andrew risker he texted me
01:02:57 when trump said the h1b visa thing when you know of course in typical trump fashion it was you know
01:03:03 the bark was bigger than the bite we'll see what actually happens but initially you know it was
01:03:07 a hundred thousand dollars annual an annual fee a hundred thousand dollars per each one h h1b visa
01:03:14 worker was going to have to be paid by them or by the company and that ultimately would mean that a
01:03:19 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 look like annually so every single year you would have had to make enough to pay maintain keep it up
01:03:29 yep which would mean a number of things one it would mean that americans would now be able to
01:03:33 get those jobs and to afford a home right to afford a home so you would have um americans
01:03:39 paid more you would also have less people which means homes cost less and in our area um we yeah
01:03:46 like i you know for our area you know prices spiked all over the country and our area especially
01:03:52 in 2021 in the first half of 2022 and then boom they began to plummet but there were lots of other
01:03:59 places in the country where prices, they spiked and then they kind of trickled down a little bit,
01:04:05 but then kind of hit a bottom and hit a support level and stayed there. I think of the guys in
01:04:11 Ogden. Well, here's the deal. Places on the coast, they're landlocked. You have the ocean.
01:04:18 Ogden, same kind of concept. You have mountains. You can't just build everywhere. But places like
01:04:23 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 just buying up land buying up farms you're not landlocked by anything there's no mountains there's
01:04:32 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 built out they just put in toll roads and and then just bought up farms and then just the the
01:04:43 default factory setting you know uh new bills lap 2000 home just boom here's a home home home home
01:04:50 home and threw them up you know in a matter of just a few short months a farm became um a
01:04:56 subdivision you know in six months and they they didn't just do one or two of them they they did
01:05:01 it by the hundreds and i'm not hundreds of homes i'm not saying hundreds of homes hundreds of
01:05:05 subdivisions and uh and so it's again supply and demand so um all of a sudden the supply actually
01:05:12 outpaced the demand at first like they couldn't build them fast enough because everyone was moving
01:05:17 to texas it was you know 2020 everybody's getting out of california and new york and all these well
01:05:21 and also biden gets into office maybe you're about to say that yep tons of immigration immigration
01:05:26 exactly so you had a ton of people flooding in from the southern border because of biden taking
01:05:30 office and a ton of people also you know escaping their blue states and wanting to move to more
01:05:34 red states like texas and austin became a really big destination in 2020 2021 and so there's a huge
01:05:42 demand not enough supply but because they weren't landlocked they just they made that supply whereas
01:05:48 other places like Ogden, mountains, or like San Diego, ocean, and mountains for that matter,
01:05:56 and desert, most of California, Southern California's desert, they could only build so
01:06:00 much. And so those places spiked and then kind of stayed high. They came down a little bit,
01:06:04 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 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 exaggeration. Our home by, um, by October, I think it was October, November of 2021. So this is like,
01:06:29 it was literally about 16 months in 16 months. Our home on Zillow had gone up 40%, 40%. And then,
01:06:38 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 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 percent um but that's because uh there was this massive demand because of all the immigration
01:06:59 from the southern border and then all the people exiting blue states and moving to this area
01:07:03 in 2020 and 2021 third factor and low interest rates you're right um and then interest rates
01:07:08 went up uh people are self-deporting and some actually being deported um and some people you
01:07:14 know who moved here from blue states it's been four or five years at this point so some people
01:07:18 are like all right you know like trump's in office things are more normal now and you know
01:07:23 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 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 because interest rates went up and all these kinds of things and there's a ton of supply and so
01:07:41 prices have come down and it's the same thing so that that question is not difficult to answer um
01:07:47 what what do you do to make homes affordable in the united states well in one foul swoop you can
01:07:53 kill two birds with one stone. In one fell swoop, you can raise the wages of Americans by getting
01:07:59 rid of non-Americans, paperwork Americans, and you can also increase the supply of housing for 0.94
01:08:05 Americans by getting rid of paperwork non-Americans. Simply by doing that, everyone would 0.67
01:08:12 make more and things would cost less. Make more, cost less. You could fix virtually every single
01:08:19 problem uh by simply 100 million people go back the only problem at that point really remaining
01:08:24 would be crime and with crime uh all you have to do is replace crooked judges have you know just
01:08:32 judges and actually punish criminals and we would live in a paradise be amazing uh benjamin franklin
01:08:37 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 full like think about britain at the time like people have lived there for a long time america
01:08:48 is huge and vast and when you look back at old videos honestly that's one of the things you
01:08:52 notice about it it's not parking lots full of cars and lines to wait that's a new thing and
01:08:57 it drastically impacts quality of life one of the things that had made america so good was
01:09:01 it was relatively empty until 2020 2021 2023 we imported by the tens of millions tens of millions
01:09:09 of people especially to these uh population centers your austin's your dallas your san
01:09:13 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 auto pin administration um a lot of guys have projected that it was close to 40 million
01:09:24 including you know legal and illegal aliens and and also you know factoring in for getaways that
01:09:31 the total number was around 40 million people think about that 40 million people that's over
01:09:36 10 percent um at the time we would have been about 300 million uh population and we took in
01:09:42 over 10%, like 12%
01:09:44 of our total population in four
01:09:46 years. And then we're like,
01:09:48 hey, there's economic problems
01:09:50 and crime has gone up.
01:09:52 But what's going on? What could it possibly
01:09:54 be? I think we know.
01:09:56 I've got an idea. All right, super chats.
01:09:59 Dapper Dan, great brother,
01:10:00 longtime supporter, $4.99. Thanks, Dan.
01:10:03 He said, stop funding Israel and
01:10:04 reallocate the money to ICE. Yes and
01:10:06 amen. And hey, if you're a
01:10:08 patriot and probably a single
01:10:10 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 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 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 if you're looking for kind of a career change or maybe if you're in the different deport uh areas
01:10:28 with like centers i think san antonio is one of them in texas for example but totally consider
01:10:32 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 pastoral advice here, right? You want to do the Lord's work. You want to push for the crown rights
01:10:42 of King Jesus, be an American patriot, love your brothers and sisters in Christ, love your fellow
01:10:47 heritage Americans. Maybe you don't sign up for ICE full-time, but if you're a business owner,
01:10:53 like construction, for instance, or maybe it's a restaurant, you can be, as a business owner,
01:10:59 making money with your enterprise and also calling ICE, right? Like, hey, I do construction,
01:11:06 you know in the greater austin area i'm a christian it's a christian construction you
01:11:10 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 nothing but espanol it's just a friendly phone call to ice turn in your own employees the lord
01:11:22 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 after chipotle today we have a call to make as well yeah so whether you're out and about you just
01:11:34 you'd be looking you'd be looking dial something's not right over here yeah something's not right
01:11:38 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 town so we're gonna get recognizing the music yep all right this dude rocks he gave us 50 bucks
01:11:49 thank you we appreciate that very generous very kind he says uh why is there hostility from
01:11:55 abolitionist rising that's an abolitionist group uh seeking to end abortion and t russell hunter
01:12:01 he's the head of that group, to Christians that voted for Trump. That's his question. Is there
01:12:06 a biblical case for voting for leaders that advocate for abortion? I wish to be consistent 0.52
01:12:12 and not show partiality or permit evil. God bless. It's a great question. Follow-up too.
01:12:18 Oh, he's got a follow-up. All right, here we go. He said, to clarify, I support Abolitionist Rising's
01:12:23 ministry, and I love their work. I wish for brothers to band together and defeat abortion
01:12:29 despite disagreements. Amen. Yeah, we want to see abortion completely abolished. I do think that
01:12:35 as best we can, we need to be willing to link arms and to partner with those who are genuine
01:12:42 brothers in Christ to seek the abolition of abortion. In terms of the tactics, that's
01:12:47 ultimately what you're getting at. There is certainly an immense debate, but what you're
01:12:53 getting at with your initial question is even more particular than that, right? It's one thing to say
01:12:57 in terms of actually abolishing abortion, we want just laws. We don't just want to mitigate
01:13:03 abortion, say, well, you can murder babies, you know, so long as the hallway from, you know,
01:13:08 the abortion murder mill is this wide and not this narrow. Or you can, you know, you can abort 0.96
01:13:13 babies on Wednesdays and Thursdays, but not on Mondays and not on Tuesdays. I understand. I
01:13:19 understand saying, hey, these are not just laws. This is a law that God would detest. And so a
01:13:23 Christian cannot put these laws forward. That would be the argument. But what you're getting 1.00
01:13:28 at is beyond that. And we talked about that during Trump's, you know, his campaign during
01:13:33 the election cycle. It's one thing to say that the tactics for abolishing abortion should be just
01:13:40 according to God's law in terms of the bills themselves, right? There's certainly an argument
01:13:45 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 level but a federal presidential election and it's going to be one of these two individuals
01:13:58 you're going to have kamala harris and 40 million more immigrants who will vote blue and we will 1.00
01:14:04 never win an election ever again and they will abort babies forever right or donald j trump who 0.96
01:14:13 is not standing for life like he should not even close right we'll be the first to admit that
01:14:17 but say, hey, I'm going to pick him. He's terrible on life. She's terrible on life.
01:14:24 And the sanctity of the unborn is a massive, massive issue that Christians have to care 1.00
01:14:32 about. But they're both terrible on life. And then one who's terrible on life wants to welcome 1.00
01:14:39 40 million more voters to vote for abortion, and the other one doesn't. That's ultimately what it
01:14:46 came down to. And so some people voted for Trump to stop, not stop abortion. They knew that Trump
01:14:53 was not going to do that, but to stop immigration so that we would have a fighting chance with other
01:14:59 things like abortion. I was one of those individuals. Others, like Abolitionist Rising, 0.54
01:15:04 strongly, vehemently disagreed. And here we are. We still disagree.
01:15:08 And I think that disagreement does stem from tactics. So Abolitionist Rising, I think T.
01:15:12 Russell Hunter, they would say, the only measure that you can take, any half measure, any partial
01:15:18 progress would be dishonoring to God. We're talking about murder. Like you said, we don't
01:15:21 allow murder to happen on Wednesdays. It has to be for the complete, total abolition, the equal
01:15:26 protection, so the baby receives the same rights to protection under the law as any other person
01:15:32 if they were murdered in cold blood. So they would say, there's nothing and there's everything.
01:15:36 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 And we would disagree, I think, and say that with Trump, there's going to be like he removed federal funding.
01:15:51 I think it's the stay in Mexico provision, like removed that.
01:15:55 Well, that helps restrict access.
01:15:56 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 Abortion practically, aside from cases where the pill gets in
01:16:06 and one's done in back alley, is done in Texas.
01:16:09 Now we still have more to go.
01:16:11 Children, unborn infants, deserve equal protection under the law.
01:16:15 So there's still progress to be made here in Texas.
01:16:17 But also practically, I think we objectively have to say
01:16:20 there are babies that are born today in Texas
01:16:22 that because of laws passed here in this state,
01:16:25 not nationally, but at the state level,
01:16:27 they would not be alive if they had been conceived three, four years prior.
01:16:32 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 like slavery was abolished in england gradually it took about 50 years there was no war unlike
01:17:00 here in america though there's 600 000 true heritage americans men that died there they did
01:17:06 it with no war they did it gradually first it was kind of the uh britain formal where it still
01:17:11 existed in the colonies and then like different traces of it but like it was abolished over 60
01:17:15 years gradually and i understand there were abolitionist groups in the same way the push
01:17:20 for the total abolition but uh but still it worked its way through the sentiment of the people like
01:17:26 this is a very the term's not great but pro-life generation because they can see it all right
01:17:31 there's activists on campuses they'll go around hey do you know this is what happens in abortion
01:17:34 that involves a vacuum that involves chemicals that involves forceps and you'll see girls who
01:17:39 were pro-choice before but oh my goodness that's terrible so i think in time you push you push the
01:17:44 ball forward here you push the ball forward here you keep pressing here you have whole states
01:17:48 hopefully dusty deavers in oklahoma oklahoma complete total protection for infants yeah it's
01:17:54 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 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 size fits all the entire country it's going to you know it's been returned to state rights
01:18:08 and you know each state is now responsible for abolishing abortion and if you're making the
01:18:15 argument and saying, well, in terms of the bills that are presented, that these bills need to be
01:18:19 just bills according to the law of God, I understand. But you have to recognize that as
01:18:25 citizens, just the overall populace, we're not voting on bills. We're voting on elected officials.
01:18:32 And then they ultimately are the ones who are going to either pass bills or not. And so we're
01:18:38 voting for politicians and you will have, you're going to have a state rep, you're going to have
01:18:44 a mayor you're going to have a city council you're going to have you know all these different
01:18:49 positions you're going to have a precedent these positions are going to be filled and so when it
01:18:53 comes to voting for people we don't get to the populace doesn't vote for bills we vote for people
01:18:58 so when it comes to voting for elected officials to use your vote to vote for the best candidate
01:19:06 possible that's actually viable and available the best viable available candidate who will do the
01:19:12 least harm, the least evil, I think is a defensible position. Those who say you can vote
01:19:19 only for someone who would be qualified to be an elder in your Reformed Baptist church, 0.93
01:19:27 that's an argument. That's a position. It exists. It is. That is. Those are words.
01:19:33 Right. Those are words. But we think that that's not the best route. Okay. Granddad
01:19:41 farms he gave us ten dollars thanks granddad we appreciate it he said ga kings good afternoon
01:19:46 thank you for your ministry to young nationalist men you're very welcome uh not enough ministries

01:19:57 us a fist pump a cross and a crown and ten dollars and we appreciate it so i i feel like i'm going to
01:20:05 interpret that as uh punching libs in the face and then uh and then searing a cross onto their 0.53
01:20:12 forehead and then putting a crown on your own head i think that's what he had i think that's 0.94
01:20:16 what he had in mind i think that's a safe interpretation he also said hey here's ten
01:20:20 dollars and so uh we appreciate that and then lastly west you want to go with the last one
01:20:23 mostly peaceful merch gave two dollars follow up to what we just said about ice he said apply
01:20:29 romans 13 irl join ice today he's right you can be the deacon that wields the sword commissioned
01:20:36 by the government to kick people out of this that's right out of these united states you
01:20:39 can't be a vigilante but you literally can join ice and be god's appointed avenger right right
01:20:45 who seeks to to carry out god's vengeance on the evildoer immigration is evil um at least at you
01:20:53 know at the level that we have it today and and those who are flooding our country it's not theirs 0.95
01:20:59 they are flooding our country like a swarm of locusts and eating up the inheritance that your 0.98
01:21:04 fathers by their blood sweat and tears laid up for you it is it is a breach of a rebellion against
01:21:12 the fifth commandment to honor your father and mother if you are a heritage american and you
01:21:16 can track your ancestry back even just you know three generations you have some degree of heritage
01:21:22 here in America, your fathers, they literally sacrificed for you. And what they did for you
01:21:29 and for your children, their children's children, is being devoured by those who it does not belong 0.99
01:21:35 to. And so to join the proper mechanism through ICE and to become, in that sense, God's appointed
01:21:43 deacon to carry out vengeance on the evildoer who is devouring the inheritance of the children,
01:21:49 um that is a righteous thing you can you can join ice today and uh and make jesus smile
01:21:56 as you with a gun pack foreigners into the back of a van to be kicked out of the country that is 0.85
01:22:03 lucky a godly glorious endeavor you'll get to go to portland or chicago and also uh get to throw 0.77
01:22:10 libs to the ground too i've seen some of those videos purple hair that is also a god glorifying
01:22:16 endeavor. Either you're sending them out, sending them to jail. These are people who hate you. They
01:22:20 hate the country. They're trying to destroy it. These are criminals. It's treason. These are
