On this week's episode of Inverted World Live, we cover: - Israel's decision on a full-on occupation of the Gaza Strip - Texas Dems flee the state in order to avoid a Democratic quorum - The New York Post is looking to expand west - and we might talk a little bit about Alex Steinem's antics on Capitol Hill. - A 30-year-old frozen embryo that was just born - and a nuclear reactor on the moon? - And more!
00:01:33.000Over the weekend, Texas Democrats fled the state in order to avoid a quorum because the Republican efforts are looking to do some early redistricting.
00:01:43.000Now, the Texas House has greenlit arrest warrants for the Democrats who fled, and Democrat governors across the country are looking to get into this with Kathy Hochel having an opinion.
00:01:56.000She said that New York is exploring every option to redraw our state congressional lines to counteract Texas's new map.
00:02:05.000Benjamin Netanyahu, who has decided on a full-on occupation of Gaza Strip.
00:02:09.000Now, honestly, this is not a surprise.
00:02:12.000Ever since October 7th, it has been the most likely scenario that Hamas was not going to be the authority in Gaza anymore, and it was going to be Israel having to have some kind of occupation.
00:02:26.000Elizabeth Warren has confirmed that Zoron Mendomni's message of, you know, from each according to their ability to each according to their need is the new Democrat message.
00:02:40.000We'll talk about the New York Post is looking to expand West, and we might talk a little bit about Alex Stein's antics on Capitol Hill today.
00:02:50.000But before we get into that, why don't you head on over to castru.com and buy yourself some coffee?

00:04:19.000So would you please introduce yourself and tell everyone what you do?
00:05:22.000This is breaking from the post-millennial Texas House green lights arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to avoid redistricting vote.
00:05:32.000Texas Democrat lawmakers have defied Governor Greg Abbott's deadline to return to the state legislature to allow a vote on redistricting congressional boundaries.
00:05:42.000As a result, Abbott has ordered for those members to be arrested.
00:05:46.000Abbott warned late Sunday that he would pursue legal action to remove the lawmakers from office if they failed to return to Austin by Monday, August 4th, 2025, to vote on the proposal.
00:05:56.000Abbott on Monday also directed the Texas Rangers to investigate fleeing Texas House Democrats for potential bribery and any other potential legal violations connected to their refusal to appear for a quorum, conduct business, and cast votes, Abbott said.
00:06:12.000That investigation should extend to anyone who aided or abetted such potential crimes.
00:06:17.000Abbott's pressure follows a walkout by Democrats seeking to deny the Texas House a quorum, the minimum number of legislators required to conduct business.
00:06:25.000By leaving the state, Democrats effectively froze all legislative activity during a special session set to expire later this month.
00:06:32.000The primary objective was to halt a GOP-drawn congressional map that could secure five additional U.S. House seats for Republicans in the 2026 midterm elections.
00:06:41.000So normally the redistricting happens after the census, which is scheduled for 2030, I believe.
00:06:51.000So the fact that the Republicans are looking to do redistricting now, it is early, clearly, but I don't know if there's any kind of historical precedent for this.
00:07:10.000And this is kind of what they're standing on right now.
00:07:13.000But certainly when, you know, in my experience and what I've read about, when there's a huge population shift, which there has been in Texas, especially since 2020, we're talking about the pandemic.
00:07:23.000We're talking about people fleeing blue states like New York and California primarily and heading to Texas.
00:07:29.000This is obviously something that would be advantageous for the Republican Party.
00:07:33.000They see that there's a lot more red that there was before.
00:07:37.000And quite frankly, if we're talking about a Democratic Republic, then the people who live there should be represented fairly by their congressional map.
00:08:03.000And gerrymandering is so bad and such a big deal.
00:08:06.000But yet, gerrymandering has been the norm literally since this third president, right?
00:08:12.000Madison's vice president, I forget his last name was Jerry.
00:08:17.000And that's where the term gerrymandering comes from.
00:08:21.000This is something that the Democrats have actually mastered and they've really squeezed as much of the juice out of the process of gerrymandering as they possibly can.
00:08:35.000So this is a reaction to a change in the demographic or in the population by the Republicans.
00:08:43.000And the Democrats are really in a position where they can't do anything about it.
00:08:48.000And unfortunately, their hands are tied because they know that the maps are going to be drawn against them because that's who lives in the state.
00:09:06.000Why would Jerry Nadler's district be in South Brooklyn and then also on the upper west side?
00:09:11.000It's kind of wild, but they know what they're doing.
00:09:14.000So for them to come out and say, this is unconstitutional and this is wrong, it's like we need to remember who the pot is and who the kettle is in this situation.
00:09:23.000It is how it's been done, as you said, for quite a long time.
00:09:30.000I mean, I think that we can all look at times, depending on your own political stripes, where you would say that's not fair, absolutely, because it's going to work against me.
00:09:38.000But at the end of the day, and I think that even when, you know, as a conservative, even when I'm in the defensive and I see that there's a lot of blue people, you see a state like New York, it's sad that it's become what it's become, but it is there.
00:09:56.000And to be fair, it's not that just the Democrats have gerrymandered districts.
00:10:01.000It's something the Republicans have done as well, which is part of the reason why I think it stems from the fact that it is such a foundational piece of American politics, the fact that changing the district to better produce the results that you want, you want to see is something that has been happening for almost as long as we've had the Republic.
00:10:59.000So it feels like when you're living there on upstate New York, anything north of the city, there's pockets of blue here and there, but it's completely wasted.
00:11:05.000Your vote means nothing because New York City ruins it.
00:11:09.000But yeah, it's another victim of redistricting and everything.
00:11:11.000So I don't, reasonable discourse, I don't think you can expect anything reasonable from the left and the right to some degree as well.
00:11:17.000Because right now we're like Hokle's literally calling us a war.
00:12:24.000We live in the world where if you don't exercise power when you have access to power, you can guarantee that your political foes are going to exercise power.
00:12:34.000And that is going to possibly destroy your way of life.
00:13:01.00085 ayes in six nays, the motion prevails.
00:13:04.000The sergeant at arms and any officers appointed by her are directed to send for all absentees whose attendance is not excused for the purposes of securing and maintaining their attendance under warrant of arrest if necessary until further order of the house.
00:13:19.000Members, under the rules, while the house is under a call, any member who wishes to leave the hall must have written permission of the speaker.
00:13:26.000The chair is providing written permission to be entered in the journal for each member registered as present on today's roll call to leave the chamber and return tomorrow at 1 p.m.
00:14:20.000I don't know if that PR will help them in their path the way it helped Trump with his path, his mugshot, but they see that as a way of moving forward.
00:14:29.000Yeah, we had Tony Ortiz on the show today.
00:14:31.000He current revolts like a Texas paper exclusively.
00:14:34.000He's talking about exactly what you're saying is that, okay, yeah, it's going to be great for us, but also Trump's the big boogeyman for them.
00:15:13.000I mean, and it's, and even then, they got more attention than, and I remember, you know, I was, I think I was working at Fox then and we covered it and it was like, oh, ha ha ha, you know, like these guys like leaving town and camping out and they're in Illinois or wherever they were.
00:15:28.000In like 2003, they did it twice over redistricting.
00:15:31.000So this is a card that they know how to play.
00:15:33.000And I think unfortunately, they're not going to see the return.
00:15:36.000I mean, I could be wrong, but I think you're right.
00:15:37.000I think gerrymandering doesn't rile up their base as much as abortion does.
00:15:41.000Well, also, like, this is not a good gauge of base either because the only reason this happens so much in Texas, this really only happens in Texas is because for a quorum, you need two-thirds to be president, where pretty much every other state's half.
00:16:55.000Kathy Hochel says that New York is exploring every option to redraw our state congressional lines to counteract Texas's new map.
00:17:05.000New York Governor Kathy Hochel hosted Texas Democrat lawmakers at the state capitol on Wednesday after the lawmakers fled their state in order to deny Republican lawmakers.
00:17:14.000The quorum needed to pass a redistricting proposal.
00:17:17.000During her speech, Hochel said that she and other New York lawmakers were exploring options to conduct redistricting in the state to counteract redistricting in Texas.
00:17:27.000I have a news flash for Republicans in Texas.
00:20:29.000Can I afford to get my kids into the school that I wanted to go in?
00:20:33.000Like, everybody cares about their wallet.
00:20:36.000And everything else that they say they care about is tertiary to their wallet.
00:20:40.000Even now, with Gen X being favorable to socialist policies, they're not favorable to actual communism because they don't conceptualize actual communism.
00:20:54.000They think I'm going to get free stuff.
00:20:56.000And that's good because I can't afford to pay my bills.
00:21:00.000If the average Gen Z person had $100,000 in the bank now, they wouldn't feel that way, right?
00:21:09.000Like they wouldn't feel like, oh, I'm favorable to confiscatory tax policy because they'd be like, that's going to take my stuff.
00:21:19.000And so the idea that it's somehow baked into young people to actually want a socialist president or socialist policies.
00:21:29.000No, they want to be able to pay their bills.
00:21:32.000They want to feel like they can afford to live.
00:21:35.000They want to be able to pay their rent.
00:21:37.000And now, because of the past 15 years since the economic crisis, because of the way that the federal government and the Federal Reserve has been handling monetary policy, because of those things, it's coming down on Gen Z. Like they're the ones that are paying for it.
00:21:53.000And it's something that, again, I'm a reform libertarian, but like back in the day, I was the guy that was screaming about this is going to come back to bite America in the ass.
00:22:04.000This is going to be a massive problem.
00:22:08.000I think the younger crowd subconsciously embraces capitalism while trying to embrace a false idea of socialism, communism, you know, because they're out there protesting with all their technology that they can afford and do the things they think they can do at home, like their poetry books, but they don't understand the endgame for socialism, communism, feeding off of them, owning Them, you know, turning them into slaves.
00:22:32.000They see this false idea of a paradise that they've been lied to about.
00:22:36.000And I think that, you know, I mean, a lot of it is a lack of understanding and a lack of just intellect about what capitalism, what socialism is, what Marxism is.
00:22:45.000But, you know, more than that, they're kind of conditioned to be comfortable.
00:22:48.000And I've heard, you know, you guys talk about this on the show for weeks now.
00:22:52.000There's just a lack of interest in bettering yourself.
00:22:54.000So this idea of getting free stuff is just kind of like tacking on to the fact that I can live on the bare minimum, whatever that is, and I'll just take whatever is free and I'll learn to live with it.
00:23:03.000I'll learn to live with 16 dudes and I'll just never have kids and I'll never save any money and that's fine with me.
00:23:09.000And I don't even think it's limited to Gen Z or Gen Alpha.
00:23:13.000I mean, I think that there's people in my age group who are suffering through this too.
00:23:17.000So I'm not really sure what the solution is, but they have them.
00:23:20.000Like people like Hookle have them right where they want them.
00:23:22.000You know, they're ready for the free stuff without actually putting too much thought into what it means.
00:23:27.000I mean, most of the time people don't associate the free stuff with all of the strings that are attached, but nothing that comes from the government comes without strings.
00:25:04.000With Zoomers, it's just, because I'm a Zoomer, we're just so nihilistic about how broken everything is that it's like you kind of have to have like a radical ideology.
00:25:12.000It's like being a moderate is like so like gagly gay.
00:25:17.000Well, it's like it's boomer coded and it's like, so you know, you're like hanging out with like other Zoomers and you're like, oh, you're like a paleo-Marxist Leninist.
00:25:24.000Oh, I'm like a radical like monarchist.
00:25:25.000Dude, like, tell me what all your thing.
00:25:41.000I mean, the problem with the demand for radical politics is there's real world consequences that honestly they don't like that they don't think about, right?
00:25:54.000Like, you know, there's, there's, it's not like radical politics are actually new.
00:26:02.000There's, there's old politics that are radical now that people are talking about, which is, you know, whether it be the, the, again, the Zoomer Waffen or whether you're talking about the actual communists, you know, the Marxist-Leninists and stuff.
00:27:07.000I think they had, from their perspective, they advanced the football because they pushed the Democrat Party in a more radical and radical way.
00:27:13.000I mean, okay, yeah, society reeled back with the Trump election, but the Democrat Party's forever changed because of 2020.
00:27:27.000Like the Democrat Party, that is still, if anything, the base is actually mad that they're not radical enough.
00:27:32.000So then maybe, so maybe now's a good time to go on to this story here.
00:27:36.000From the post-millennial, Elizabeth Warren confirms Zohran Mamdani's message is the Democratic message.
00:27:43.000Senator Elizabeth Warren joined New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on when saying when I think that means Wednesday saying that the candidate socialist platform is the democratic message.
00:27:55.000When someone stands up and says, I will lead this city by making it more affordable.
00:28:00.000And here are my plans, real plans, plans to deliver on childcare, plans to deliver on housing, plans to deliver, we're going to experiment.
00:28:08.000We're going to try things on groceries.
00:28:12.000Warren joined Mamdani at the DC 37 union building to express support for his universal child care proposal per the New York Post.
00:28:21.000For me, New York City is the place to start the conversation for Democrats on how affordability is the central issue, the central reason to be a Democrat, and that delivering on it in meaningful, tangible ways that will touch working families is why we're here.
00:28:35.000See, whether or not people want to admit it, the idea of affordability is something that's going to resonate with young people because they can't afford stuff now.
00:28:46.000So even though this is the policies that he's actually talking about are horrible, they're policies that will take New York backwards.
00:29:36.000But when they're sold to the electorate as this is to make things more affordable and the electorate cannot afford things, they're going to say, yeah, that's a good, that's a good deal for me.
00:31:03.000You know, I wonder how the tips are going to help them.
00:31:05.000Except they don't because there's only half of the amount that they used to be, and they don't get tipped because the service is terrible because there's not enough people on the floor because they have to pay people benefits.
00:31:14.000They have to pay people these exorbitant minimum wages.
00:31:17.000Restaurants operate on this like sliver margin.
00:31:20.000I mean, I knew people who work in restaurants and hotels, and those hotels were taken to give in to illegals.
00:31:48.000And I can't wait for when, not that I want, because Trump's the guy.
00:31:51.000He should be Caesar back to the round of policies.
00:31:53.000But when Trump's out of the way, I can't wait for the knife fight in the Democrat Party between the DSA and the old stock Democrats, so to speak, because I mean, there's going to be one side has all the money and then the other side has all the passion.
00:32:05.000And it's going to be so fun watching this.
00:32:37.000I think there are a lot of people that wanted to pay more because it made them feel good.
00:32:43.000A lot of wealthy people, you know, on the upper east and west side that have nice apartments around Central Park and stuff, or nice condos.
00:32:52.000And those people, if the government starts actually going after their, you know, their savings, saying, you know, you've got this, this unrealized gain, you know, unrealized or taxes on unrealized gains or whatever.
00:33:07.000I think that those people will be like, okay, now this is too much for me.
00:33:48.000It's the heart and soul of news and politics.
00:33:51.000But if it's young people that don't have any money and don't have anything to lose, are there enough older people with money and with things to lose that would vote against those people to say, okay, we actually have enough influence.
00:34:07.000I think that the young people are going to lose interest in this.
00:34:11.000I think that the worst thing that could happen to the Democratic Party right now is Zohan Mondami.
00:34:15.000I think that him winning this election is going to show everybody, is going to show everybody exactly what they're playing with.
00:34:21.000It's going to reveal every card that they've been trying to use and it's going to be an enormous problem for them.
00:34:26.000New York City also has like a really transitory population.
00:34:28.000So the under 35 crowd right now, completely different from what the under 35 crowd was 20 years ago.
00:34:33.000So the amount of cultural changes that are going to occur with young people in New York City in the next five, 10 years when that churn happens.
00:34:40.000I mean, like, I think the average New Yorker that's on, I saw a stat and it was the average New Yorker under 35 loser for like four and a half years.
00:35:33.000And most of the people that I know who left during the pandemic, I know a lot of people who were, you know, conservative media who left, but more specifically, people left because they had kids and they were just afraid that this was not a good place to happen anymore.
00:35:44.000We were getting threatened to have our heads chopped off on the subways with our baby shoes.
00:35:53.000Even the suburbs in and around, like Connecticut, New Jersey, still growing a lot.
00:35:57.000So it's like even the suburbs in around New York City are still dependent on New York City.
00:36:00.000So even if there's a capital flight from New York City itself, a lot of that will just land in Westchester, Bergen.
00:36:07.000It would have to be a generation of Marxist communism in that city to get to the point that you described.
00:36:12.000I mean, I think it is on the table, but I predict it will, it'll self-correct long before that.
00:36:18.000I mean, we're seeing, you know, we're seeing, yeah, I mean, we're seeing now where San Francisco had much more sensitive industry, and now they're kind of coming to their senses a little bit.
00:38:57.000But I mean, I don't know that I'm as optimistic as you guys about New York City because I think that the population is going to end up if, like hypothetically, if Momdani wins, he institutes these policies and then they don't work.
00:39:19.000And I think that only radicalizes people more.
00:39:21.000Like the most important thing for Donald Trump is to have economic policies that work.
00:39:26.000Everybody, you hear a lot of people making noise about, you know, about the Epstein list.
00:39:31.000You hear a lot of people making noise about Israel.
00:39:33.000You hear a lot of people making noise about, oh, there haven't been people arrested yet.
00:39:37.000He hasn't done enough to clean the swamp, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:39:39.000The reason that he got elected was because he was going to do good things for the economy.
00:39:47.000And that's what people heard when they said we're going to deport illegal immigrants, right?
00:39:53.000They elected him because he was going to deport illegal immigrants.
00:39:56.000And people translated that in their heads to, I will be able to find jobs and better jobs and more jobs for Americans.
00:40:06.000So if his economic policies don't pan out, that means that it's likely that someone like an AOC or like, not that he could win because he wasn't born here, but like a Zoran Momdani, someone with those kind of policies could win the presidential election in, you know, 2030 or whatever, whenever the next one is, I forget.
00:40:27.000But yeah, like, I feel like the failures of this particular administration or the failures of a Mamdani administration only help to feed the radicals.
00:40:42.000It doesn't mean that people are going to say, no, we have to go back to the ways that have actually worked because the young people and people that are upset now don't believe those ways ever worked.
00:40:55.000I think, okay, going down your path, I see that possibility because in the left, especially in the younger generations, widespread nihilism, so a bad economy and suffering might just make it part of their like DNA.
00:41:10.000Like this is helping, we have to self-sacrifice.
00:41:13.000Because people right now, the people that think that leftist policies are a good idea, they look at this world that we live in and they don't see that capitalism is what built it.
00:41:26.000If you talk to a kid that's that's got favorable opinions of communism or whatever, he doesn't think, oh, well, you know, communism might be okay, but it's capitalism that's gotten us here.
00:41:40.000It's capitalism that's raised basically everyone on earth out of abject poverty.
00:41:46.000Like in 2030, there will be no one left on the planet that lives on less than a dollar, like two bucks a day, right?
00:41:54.000And it's not socialism that's produced that.
00:41:58.000It's capitalism, but they don't see that.
00:42:00.000And you try to tell them that and they're not hearing it because believe me, I'll get on X and I'll argue with anybody and I'll be like, you know, this is what's going on.
00:42:09.000And to hear them talk, they don't understand or they it doesn't compute to them that this world that we live in with all this abundance and the fact that you can use your phone to order DoorDash and have it brought to your house and then pay for it with Klarna.
00:42:24.000Like all that stuff is because of capitalism.
00:42:43.000Capitalism is why I don't get to do the things that I want to do.
00:42:48.000Even though the things that they want to do don't exist in the absence of capitalism.
00:42:53.000And it's something that you see on the left a lot.
00:42:56.000People on the left love to produce these memes that say, oh, 50 guerrilla people died of capitalism because they didn't have clean water and they didn't have medicine and they didn't have food and they didn't have this.
00:43:10.000And it's like all of the things you're talking about, they don't get without capitalism.
00:43:16.000And they just assume that medicine and technological advances and all of this stuff happens in the absence of capitalism and it doesn't.
00:43:25.000So I don't know that they understand the world they live in.
00:43:28.000The foundation is markets and liberty.
00:44:08.000But it's like, too, it's like we've, I mean, the right has invested so much money and time into like media promoting capitalism and free markets for the last 50 years.
00:44:16.000And like there's been pretty much no fruit.
00:44:28.000People want like, you know how they get, I don't think he's ever explained like Keynesian model before in his entire life.
00:44:33.000He's like, he's just, he wants to make a deal.
00:44:35.000And it's like young people just need to believe.
00:44:37.000And if you get really into the weeds on this, like Zoron isn't getting up there explaining like market because people are going through his website and looking at all his policies and their brains working.
00:44:54.000So the right can't like overcorrect and start getting really into like economics textbooks and stuff because that's what like, you know, not going to say the names they've been doing for years and it's not working so then if vibes are how you sell people on something how do you make young people understand trump's done it trump's done it so i mean trump crushes with young men because it's awesome because no i know i know i told i'm letting you i'm gonna build i'm gonna push back on that trump crushes with young men because the democrats hate young men
00:45:24.000look it's if trump if trump wasn't the only option I don't think Trump would be as popular with young men.
00:45:32.000The option is Donald Trump or we hate you and hope you die.
00:45:39.000No, because when Trump's not on the ballot, Republicans do terribly because I think young men love Trump.
00:45:44.000I mean, they hate Democrats because, like you said, they are stay home.
00:45:48.000But like Trump just provides something that just connects.
00:45:52.000Like I've never found an 80-year-old man relatable in my entire life until Donald Trump.
00:45:56.000And I think that if you look at the last election results, it's clear that, I mean, Trump didn't win the popular vote and the Electoral College because the Democrats screwed up so badly.
00:46:05.000I mean, they did, but he also won because he had a message that resonated.
00:46:35.000And that is very difficult to break into.
00:46:38.000And it's the same problem that Europe is dealing with with having extremists living in their and you know in their countries and having neighborhoods that are just been taken over.
00:47:29.000And you just have to swallow the ideology whole.
00:47:32.000It's, I can imagine that it is incredibly attractive for people that are awkward, that don't can't find their way in, you know, in life.
00:47:44.000And at a time when you're going through puberty, you're about to go through puberty, if you're not the most masculine dude, if you're not a, you know, a dude that's able to assert himself, that doesn't feel like he's a winner, which, I mean, when you're a teenager, who does?
00:48:01.000You know, that, that kind of ideology, that, that, that possible way out is incredibly attractive.
00:48:10.000It's crazy to see how that ideology has spread to just beyond the young group because there's parents who are willing to sacrifice their children for that idea, like to mutilate your child.
00:48:41.000He was the guy on the Wheaties box, right?
00:48:44.000And then he's like, my daughters are hotter than me.
00:48:49.000Have you actually seen there's like a, I never watch the Kardashians, but have you actually seen the clip where he is explaining to his daughters that he's going to become a woman?
00:48:57.000And like they're hysterical, like and not in a good way.
00:49:02.000I mean, and now you have to think about this.
00:49:04.000He's been Caitlin Jenner now for a long time.
00:49:07.000But before that, you know, he was Bruce and he was this Olympian and he was, like you said, winning at life.
00:49:12.000But this was something that was so difficult for his family.
00:49:15.000And it just, I mean, my immediate thought was like, who's helping this man?
00:49:18.000Like, there's just, I mean, it's just such a sad thing that like clearly he's just going through it and like destroying his family to get to that end.
00:49:26.000And, you know, that family has good access to plastic surgeons.
00:50:40.000Once you do these surgeries on people, like you, you, you take away their ability to change their mind because now they've become lifelong patients where they're going to have to constantly address this and you can't undo it.
00:50:51.000I mean, and you listen to these just harrowing stories from like de-transitioners about like what they've gone through and the type of support they got from people who swore a Hippocratic oath to do no harm and did exactly that.
00:51:04.000To your point, one of the things the left talks about, you hear the phrase center the margins, right?
00:51:10.000And they say that the people on the margins should be made the center.
00:51:13.000That doesn't work for society at all, right?
00:51:16.000Like you have to have a society that focuses on the majority of the people and says this is how we're going to have our society organized.
00:51:27.000And if you want to live on the margins, that's acceptable.
00:51:31.000And in a society like ours, we can make room for people to live on the margins, but that doesn't mean that we have to center them.
00:51:38.000All government policy should focus on families, normal.
00:51:43.000And I'm using the term normal intentionally, normal men and women married together, having kids, hopefully three, you know, because that's what's normal and that's what you need to reproduce your society.
00:52:00.000And the idea that it is good for the government to promote things that will not help produce more of the society is ridiculous.
00:52:12.000It's literally counterproductive to the society.
00:52:16.000Like, why are you going to say, oh, we're going to make special accommodations for trans people, for gay people, for non-binary people, whatever.
00:52:27.000We're going to make special accommodations and center Those people in our policymaking when those people are not going to reproduce the society.
00:52:39.000I mean, it's the most counterproductive thing a government can do is to say, we're going to take the people on the margins and center them.
00:52:49.000No, you center, you focus on the people in the center and make sure that normal families, again, using the phrase normal intentionally because normal means man, woman, kids, normal families have what they need to be successful.
00:53:08.000And that being the idea that that's a hateful perspective, which is what, I mean, there are people that would clip this or would clip this and say, Phil is a bigot for saying that.
00:53:19.000I don't care if you're going to call me a bigot for saying that normal people are normal.
00:53:22.000But normal, the word normal has a meaning, and that's what the government should be focusing on doing its best to hold up and support.
00:53:33.000And if you live on, if you want to have a life that's on the margins, it's okay.
00:53:37.000There's nothing that is going to, we're going to stop you, but you don't get to be the center of attention.
00:53:45.000You can have your friend group and whatever, but the government is going to look at people that are normal and say, this is what we want to see more of, because this is what produces more people.
00:53:56.000Even if only for the fact that it produces more tax base, but attacking the normal and embracing the fringe is how they collapse the society, which is what they want so they can flood it with their insanity.
00:54:07.000I mean, and I think, I don't know, I think gays are like probably better off if they're on the fringe because that's when like you think like the 70s and 80s, like they're making good music, like there's good art coming out.
00:54:16.000And then we like put them in the center and you get like RuPaul's drag race or whatever.
00:54:58.000Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has decided that the Israeli Defense Force should push to fully occupy the besieged Gaza Strip, including operating in areas where hostages are being held, according to multiple media reports.
00:55:11.000The Prime Minister's office also conveyed a message to Lieutenant General Eal Zamir, the Army's chief of staff, saying, if this does not suit him, you should resign, according to Euronews and I-24's diplomatic correspondent, Amichai Stein.
00:55:27.000Newsweek reached out to Netanyahu's office for comment via email on Monday.
00:55:31.000Israeli media reported that the cabinet will meet on Tuesday to come to a formal decision on the matter.
00:55:37.000The Israeli prime minister's report reported decision comes after months of ceasefire talks between his government and Hamas, with both sides accusing each other of repeated violations.
00:55:48.000Israel has also faced increased international pressure to reach a ceasefire deal as Hamas releases videos showing emaciated Israeli hostages being held in Gaza, which the group said was the result of Israel's blockade of humanitarian aid to the war-torn territory.
00:56:03.000This is something that has been kind of obvious that it was going to happen.
00:56:07.000I don't know what people thought or if people thought that there was another option.
00:56:13.000Israel's not going to allow Hamas to remain as the government.
00:56:19.000If there were an election in Gaza, Hamas would win still.
00:56:26.000So I feel like this is, there are people that are going to be up in arms about it, but I feel like this was kind of the, this was going to be the obvious end result anyways.
00:56:36.000You know, Israel's going to occupy that for at least five years to a decade.
00:56:41.000But I think that more importantly, this is very symbolic in that it signals that there's an agreement between Netanyahu and President Trump that he will be, Netanyahu and Israel will be supported in this maneuver.
00:56:52.000So there are, first of all, Hamas has unfortunately gotten quite a lot of support from the international heads of state, including Kier Starmer, including Canada, including Emmanuel Macron.
00:57:07.000And it's given them power and confidence that they can continue doing exactly what they're doing.
00:57:12.000Starmer made, you know, giving Palestine recognition contingent on Israel making changes to avoid that made no such threats towards Hamas.
00:57:23.000Hamas can continue holding hostages, starving them, splashing that all over the media and doing whatever they're doing to subvert aid from GHF from the UN.
00:57:33.000So there's no way that Hamas is going to stop.
01:00:05.000Yeah, and they're doing the LARPing with like the ball of clavos and everything.
01:00:08.000I'm like, your average citizen there works at like Microsoft now.
01:00:11.000It's like, and you make like double the British salary.
01:00:13.000So it's like, all right, cool it, you know, O'Hagins or whatever his name is.
01:00:17.000It's like, but still, like, the idea that the United States should go in, again, because when you talk about the UN doing anything, what you're really saying is the United States, because the United States is the actual muscle behind the UN.
01:01:35.000And I think that it's really important that we continue to recognize who our democratic allies are.
01:01:40.000We have important partners in the Middle East, but no more than Israel.
01:01:43.000If we don't help Israel do everything that we can, and they depend on us to do that, very obviously, they will be destroyed much sooner than you think.
01:01:51.000And it's absolutely imperative for our own homeland security, our kitchen table issues, that we maintain the safety and security of our democratic ally in the Middle East.
01:02:00.000And I get that, but I stopped caring about other countries at this point.
01:02:04.000After you care about the U.S., I do, but that is also a failed country.
01:02:12.000Can you just unpack why it is that you say that it's so important for Israel to be for the U.S. to support Israel?
01:02:18.000Because the reason I say this is because there's a lot of people specifically that are our viewers that aren't particularly friendly to Israel and I think that think along the lines of shame that the U.S. should not be worried about foreign countries.
01:02:31.000Well, so first of all, like look at Israel on a geopolitical map that it's surrounded by seven fronts, depending on the day, really, that want to destroy them.
01:02:41.000But before if they get through Israel, their next target is Westerners and specifically the United States, particularly Iran at this particular moment.
01:02:53.000But let's think about the flag of the Houthis down there in Yemen literally says destroy Israel and then destroy the U.S. That's their state flag.
01:03:03.000If Israel no longer exists, if we no longer have the alliance of the IDF and of the extreme might and power of that army, then we have Iran with a nuclear weapon and they will launch it at us as soon as they're able to.
01:03:18.000So what would you say that the people that what would you say to people that would push back on that and say the only reason that they hate the United States is because the United States supports Israel.
01:04:04.000It starts with the Jews and it ends with everybody else.
01:04:07.000And that includes, by the way, moderate Muslims.
01:04:09.000Remember, the first place that he attacked, the first place that Osama bin Laden went to after he attacked the United States on 9-11 was Saudi Arabia to start bombing Arabs because they were hosting United States oil compounds and military in the country.
01:04:27.000And without our strategic positioning and alliance with the military might of Israel, then we will be hurt and we will be hurt at home.
01:04:36.000First of all, our interests will be destroyed immediately and they will come find us across the ocean.
01:04:41.000Like from my perspective, it seems like we've backed Israel to a T for the last 70, 80 years and our relationship with the Muslim world at large has just gotten consistently worse as every year has passed by.
01:04:53.000Well, I push back on that to say that the Abraham Accords are kind of flying in the face of that.
01:04:58.000The one president who's actually done something to change that to actually make a radical difference in the Middle East and for the better has been Donald Trump.
01:05:06.000And he really, the idea of the Abraham Accords, the implementation of the Abraham Accords towards the end of his first term was the first giant step into a brand new Middle East where there was going to be a lot more peace.
01:05:19.000Things obviously slowed down and changed and reversed over the four years following that.
01:05:22.000We're hopefully getting back to something where we can expand the Abraham Accords once again and lean into our allies and create better allies.
01:05:32.000The goal isn't just throwing money into never-ending wars and people who hate us.
01:05:36.000The goal is to establish an everlasting peace in the region.
01:05:41.000And that doesn't mean nation building.
01:05:44.000It doesn't mean us going in like we did in 2003 in Iraq and starting an entire new country that obviously was never going to work.
01:05:50.000It's got to be us understanding what works, how we can prop each other up, where we can understand each other.
01:05:56.000An ally doesn't have to be a perfect friend, but they do have to be a friend.
01:06:00.000My whole thing is I'm 40 now and my whole life, you know, when I was born, I inherited a world of forever wars and it's been going on consistently this whole time and I see my country just getting worse and worse.
01:06:11.000So I feel like Israel can handle its own for now and we can focus on our country so we can try to get the thing back up on its feet.
01:06:20.000And to like bounce off what he's saying too, it's just I don't really know if peace in the Middle East is like a priority for Americans.
01:06:27.000So aside from the aside from the United States actually attacking the nuclear sites in Iran, what has the U.S. done when it comes to Israel?
01:06:41.000Like we've given them a ton of weapons.
01:06:44.000Volunteer gives them their AI, helps with the AI lavender, which is I've talked about that at length on the show.
01:06:49.000But when it comes to the idea of the U.S. being actively involved in combat or in war, like but you have to think of war as different, though war is not going to be the way we think of war from the past.
01:06:59.000War now is sending you everything we got, you know, our armed missiles, signing our rockets and sending them over there.
01:07:06.000You know, like that to me is an issue.
01:07:08.000When we should be like, we're sending war rockets to Ukraine, we're sending war and rockets to Israel.
01:07:14.000We're funding both sides to some of these wars forever.
01:07:17.000And I just see our country suffering deeply and we're in debt.
01:07:21.000They're asking us to pay them through PayPal and Venmo.
01:07:23.000I'm like, how can we be stretching ourselves so thin?
01:07:27.000And I understand the idea of having an ally, but it's been our ally for so many years.
01:07:32.000And this threat of Iran going to bomb us, it just doesn't seem to come to fruition.
01:07:36.000It always seems to be like a boogeyman.
01:07:37.000And I think they've been saying death to America forever.
01:07:42.000But I also understand why they're saying that because we also destroyed their country, you know, many years ago with Kermit Roosevelt going in there and subverting their entire country.
01:07:50.000So I understand, I don't like it, but I understand why they say it.
01:07:53.000I honestly, my opinion, I don't think they are going to do anything.
01:07:56.000And I also think they've had nukes for longer than we've probably willing to admit.
01:07:59.000We have other adversaries with nuclear weapons as well.
01:08:01.000Like this wouldn't be the first adversary.
01:08:03.000Yeah, but we don't have another adversary that's going to hit the red button the second that it's ready to fire.
01:08:08.000And also the re the only United States preventing Iran from getting nukes isn't just about Iran.
01:08:15.000Saudi Arabia doesn't want Iran to have nukes any more than Israel does.
01:08:58.000And they actually believe that it's worth them firing a nuclear weapon at the enemies with the threat of American might coming at them if they're doing what they believe is the will of Allah, what they're supposed to be doing.
01:09:10.000That's what is so terrifying about a nation like Iran happening.
01:09:13.000Gen Z really doesn't have this, have a sense.
01:09:16.000And I feel like Gen Z believes things in a similar fashion to the way that Gen X believed them before 9-11.
01:09:26.000Like we heard about, you know, I'm 50 years old, so I'm Gen X, right?
01:09:31.000And I heard about, you know, religious fundamentalism, and I knew about the first attack on the World Trade Center, Ramsey Youssef in 1993, and they were, you know, they did it for religious reasons.
01:09:44.000We didn't really believe that they believed the things they do believe.
01:10:02.000And the way that Gen X believed about what Gen X believed about Islamic fundamentalism is what Gen Z believes about Islamic fundamentalism now.
01:10:16.000They don't believe they actually believe it.
01:10:57.000The point is that these immigration problems, and fortunately, despite what's happened over the last four years with our border being completely open, these countries in Europe are facing something that's catastrophic, especially France, especially the United Kingdom, where there's literally parts of the country that you just can't even go to anymore.
01:11:37.000I mean, those guys, the 7-7 bombers, were born in the United Kingdom.
01:11:40.000I mean, this is not just an, it started with an immigration issue, but it also became, it's from this whole push of like Marxism, leftism where we don't want to tell anybody that they're not us.
01:11:51.000Like you don't have to be like us because, oh, you know, everybody's okay.
01:11:54.000It's like, but actually, that's the problem.
01:11:56.000When people don't want your culture, they will destroy it to bring in their own culture.
01:12:00.000And I guess another issue I have is how you would define an ally, because I understand the barbarism of some of these other countries, but Israel is also barbaric in their own way, in a modern way, where they spy on us.
01:12:20.000And if Netanyahu were a governor in this country, we would chastise him like we chastise Cuomo or Hokul or Newsom because he was as deranged and barbaric with the vaccine during lockdowns as they were.
01:13:15.000I just don't feel like them, their safety equals our safety here.
01:13:20.000So, I mean, enough about, well, not enough, but like back to the kind of the point of it, the idea that, or what we started with, the idea of Israel governing the Gaza Strip.
01:13:33.000That was the situation up until 2005, was it when they pulled out?
01:14:17.000So it like this kind of the idea that that Israel would go back to that after 20 years of rockets, 20 years of terrorist attacks, and then October 7th.
01:14:28.000I mean, was there a sense from anyone that Gaza was going to be governed by the Palestinians again?
01:14:50.000I think that that was at some point like a true hope that, and then we would give power back to the Gazans to like bring somebody else in besides Hamas.
01:14:58.000I mean, there was talk of the Palestinian, the PL or the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank, but like they don't have a whole lot of power.
01:15:18.000I mean, either that or we just let, I mean, Israel just lays down and says, all right, kill the rest of the hostages and just keep bombing us, I guess.
01:15:29.000Like I said, I kind of figured that that was going to be the situation because, you know, they had allowed the Gazans or the Palestinians to be the authority there.
01:15:41.000And you got a terrorist organization in China.
01:15:43.000I think they really hoped that it was going to work out that first time.
01:15:46.000And it just, you know, clearly didn't.
01:15:48.000Yeah, they underestimated the IQ rankings in Gaza.
01:16:00.000But in short, yeah, when the split happened, the West Bank kept a lot of the academics and there's like a sizable Christian population, or there was a sizable Christian population.
01:16:09.000And then Gaza, unfortunately, with what happened, the stock there is not built for democracy by any stretch of the imagination.
01:16:16.000They're built for fighting, which is, you know, that's how a lot of the world is.
01:16:29.000And when you look at the small country and then you look at how small the Gaza strip is and just its ability to produce this level of violence and disruption to the world is truly remarkable.
01:16:44.000So, I mean, that's kind of the big problem: there's no partner for peace, so to speak.
01:16:48.000I mean, you also look at it from the Palestinian perspective of like, if you had this territory for 2,000 years or whatnot, and then people rolled up, backed by colonial powers and created a country there, you'd probably get radicalized too.
01:17:03.000But that's not a justification, obviously, for holding hostages or killing innocent civilians.
01:17:08.000No, and that's not even really what, I mean, yes, they use that term like settlers, but most of this extremism begets extremism begets extremism.
01:17:23.000But before that, it was about like the infidel.
01:17:25.000Like it is really more about, you know, you like these extreme philosophers of Islamism, like, you know, Saeed Qutub from Egypt, who were like basically just everything anti-Islamist is evil and wrong.
01:17:46.000But these are the books that they read.
01:17:48.000I mean, these are the philosophies that they live by.
01:17:50.000I mean, because outside of Europe until like 150, 200 years ago, nationalism wasn't even really a consideration anywhere, broadly speaking.
01:18:22.000So it's like, I mean, the way that the way that those societies were structured was not how they are now, where it's like a European sense.
01:18:53.000The New York Post to expand West launched California Post in early 2026.
01:19:00.000The New York Post is heading to the West Coast and will be launching the California Post in early 2026.
01:19:06.000Robert Thompson, CEO of the Outlet's parent company, News Corp, said in a statement, Los Angeles and California surely need a daily dose of the Post as an antidote to the jaundice jaded journalism that is sadly proliferated.
01:19:20.000We are at a pivotal moment for the city and the state.
01:19:23.000There is no doubt that the Post will play a crucial role in engaging and enlightening readers who are starved for serious reporting and puckish wit.
01:19:32.000I think this will be great because the New York Post has the most wonderful headlines and to see them coming from not only the New York Post, but from the California Post, I think it'd be great.
01:22:41.000The interesting thing too is it's not that like there's a lot of new publications.
01:22:44.000Like there still is an appetite for digital media.
01:22:46.000It's the fact that they're trying print.
01:22:48.000I'm like, oh man, there's someone here that really do it in New York and they do it successfully.
01:22:54.000I wrote an op-ed in the post maybe three or four months ago and I sent friends out because I wasn't in New York and I sent friends out to go get me some copies to save and like they couldn't find them.
01:25:22.000I think consumers have found the workaround because there's particular emojis that you use in a certain context that AI can, because it doesn't have a soul, it could just never really figure out entirely.
01:25:44.000Phil, you should be in tears right now.
01:25:46.000The Post Millennium went on to say, as the Post is expanding its reach, other outlets have had to cut back.
01:25:52.000CNN laid off hundreds of employees in January.
01:25:54.000And in June, the company was reportedly expecting additional layoffs on the horizon.
01:25:58.000His parent company, Warner Brothers, Discovery announces corporate breakup.
01:26:03.000Other outlets such as Vox Media, HuffPost, and NBC News have seen layoffs in recent months.
01:26:08.000So this is something that it is actually surprising that the, you know, the Times is going to be expanding in an air, or I'm sorry, the Post is going to be expanding in an age when clearly there isn't really an appetite for at least the legacy news, right?
01:26:26.000You know, I mean, if CNN, do you think that this is a symptom of people not having an appetite for the legacy news?
01:26:33.000Or do you think that it's the news that those outlets were providing?
01:26:38.000Do you think that people are sick and tired of the left-leaning bent on it?
01:26:41.000I think it's, I don't even think it's that.
01:26:43.000I think that we're almost giving them too much credit there.
01:26:45.000I think that one of the things, like I have a TV in my office, I watch it constantly because my job is putting people on TV to talk about stuff.
01:26:52.000And so I'm just seeing like what stories are being covered, what's going on.
01:26:57.000You know, I know Fox and I, you know, I understand their system, but I flip back and forth to like other channels and I'm not getting news.
01:27:24.000And it's, you know, I'm not trying to, you know, I appreciate my, the work we do with CNN, but I do know that they came in behind Hallmark and HGTV in the last ad week ratings report.
01:27:55.000I really hope I think just like, you know, I, I, I hope that the Democratic Party gets their act together because I think that we are stronger when we have two strong political parties working against.
01:28:05.000I think by get their act together, do you mean stop pushing for socialism?
01:28:10.000Well, yes, I focus more on like that they become a real competitor.
01:28:14.000I feel like, first of all, you know, conservatives get soft when they don't have an adversary that's actually, you know, up to snuff.
01:28:44.000Nobody's getting cable back once they lose it.
01:28:47.000So if you can't figure out what your like streaming option is or how people are going to get your product without having a cable subscription, then you're already way behind.
01:28:55.000And the last election showed that podcasts and substacks and personal indie media dominated these guys.
01:30:30.000That's why the UFC has such great ratings because it's actual competition.
01:30:34.000They actually, even the guys that, like, you know, there are some guys that show each other respect and stuff like that, but they're still trying to punch the other person's face off their head.
01:31:23.000But yeah, I think that the fact that there's a whole lot of kumbaya and everything is actually detrimental to people that are viewers because viewers want to see that competition and they want it to be real.
01:31:35.000They don't want it to be manufactured.
01:31:48.000I didn't really book a lot of people that were like, now, first of all, we did try to book some people that absolutely just wouldn't have anything to do with our network or our show.
01:33:42.000And there's people who disagree on what a day means and all that stuff, but I'm pretty strict now in my mind with 6,000, a little over 6,000.
01:33:49.000So the moon being a rock that hits Earth millions of years ago is just all made up to me.
01:36:10.000I don't know if that was like a miscommunication with her in the control room.
01:36:12.000And also the fact that, you know, there was not enough people standing around their on-air talent to stop him from being harassed on air is pretty sad, dude.
01:36:20.000Just like the guy was like, this is my moment.
01:36:40.000Become a member so you can join us on our Discord and head over to rumble.com where you can join and watch our after show, which we'll be going to in about 30 or so minutes.
01:36:52.000But for right now, we are going to read your super chats.
01:37:00.000Peter Gohax says, since the left likes to change definitions, can we change the meaning of they, them to fat or ugly, mentally unstable person?
01:38:01.000Would you consider each interviewing either Joel Jamal or Craig Kelly from Australia to talk about the beginning of social credit scores, what they call under 16 ban.
01:41:12.000James Weidenhoft says, uncap the house and restore the limit of no more than 30K constituents per U.S. rep. This would result no more gerrymandering and no more need for massive campaign funds.
01:41:24.000All you would do is talk to your neighbors and get elected.
01:41:27.000Well, I don't know if that's actually what would happen.
01:41:31.000It sounds good in theory, but I don't know that it would be good to have thousands of House members because if it's 30,000, 30,000 people.
01:41:43.000You would have like, would be 100,000?
01:41:46.000Yeah, it'd be like something like, it would literally look like the Senate in Star Wars, you know, those.
01:41:53.000Whenever I remember from government classes, the reason we landed on the number we did is because that's as many desks as we could possibly fit in there.
01:42:44.000So, yes, you don't like Congress because Congress doesn't get anything done.
01:42:49.000Most of the time, that's because Congress isn't supposed to be getting the things that we're doing.
01:42:52.000They actually make the argument that they get far too much done in terms of these omnibus bills that are full of stuff we don't even know about.
01:43:00.000And I'm going to have to fact check, but I heard from a smart person that Ted Cruz included that the space shuttle that's kept at Udverhazi in D.C. or Dulles is he put it in the Big Beautiful bill that that was going to be moved to Texas.
01:43:39.000Your interview really rattled him, I think.
01:43:41.000I mean, but the point that I'm making is like people want to see federal laws that should actually be state laws.
01:43:49.000And really, this is a point that we make regularly.
01:43:52.000Like, if you focus on your local reps and your state, then you'll have far more tangible results than if you try to get things done at a federal level.
01:44:02.000There is a place for federal legislation, but it's probably not what you're thinking about.
01:44:08.000And if we had a government that was actually limited by the Constitution, that didn't abuse the Commerce Clause, didn't abuse the necessary and proper clause, and actually protected your rights that are alleged to be protected in the Bill of Rights, you could have more effective government at the state level, and people would probably be happier with the results that they get.
01:44:35.000But people think that there should be the same laws in California as in New York and as in Florida.
01:44:43.000And that just doesn't make any sense, you know.
01:44:47.000But trying to convince people of that is, you know, like hurting cats.
01:44:52.000And it's scary because, you know, how often the power on Capitol Hill changes.
01:44:57.000And one year, you can have lots of Democrats who want these crazy labor bills that are harmful to contractors and like the PRO Act, which fortunately hasn't happened yet, but is always looming over our heads.
01:45:25.000Hale Gailey says, Luis Rossman did a YouTube series on the dysfunction of New York City real estate.
01:45:31.000It's an over-leveraged house of cards that is one bad quarter away from collapse.
01:45:36.000I mean, that could probably be said about a few different industries, but I guess that would be something that people have to have to look into and make their own calls.
01:45:53.000SA Federale says, Shane literally created the resurrection of Coast to Coast within the Tim Cast family.
01:46:10.000There's a lot of times where all that remains had long overnight drives after shows while we were still touring in vans and we would be listening to Coast to Coast AM.
01:46:48.000So Isaac says, why should we worry about Iran having nukes when the nuclear-armed countries in Europe are becoming Muslim-majority countries?
01:46:57.000Well, I mean, France and the UK are the only countries in Europe with nukes, I believe, right?
01:47:04.000So, I mean, the most Islamic countries, though.
01:47:21.000But it is, it is crazy that like you have to sit there and think like, okay, so maybe in the next 50 years, it's something we have to consider.
01:48:00.000Anybody having them is technically a problem.
01:48:02.000The only thing that keeps it safe is the fact that many people have them and there's the mutual self-destruction issue.
01:48:11.000That is the outlier with a nation like Iran having it is that they don't seem to be concerned about being destroyed themselves, which is very dangerous.
01:49:13.000Yeah, that's, you know, I think that there's a big difference between belief in secure borders and immigration processes that ensure that the people who are here want to be here and want to be part of the experiment, want to be part of the project.
01:49:28.000And it's a completely different thing than choosing an ethnicity.
01:49:30.000This reminds me a lot of the, you know, like the Soviet era cards trying to figure out people's ethnicity based on their chin shape and stuff like that.
01:49:58.000You ever ask a Puerto Rican what they think about Mexican people?
01:50:00.000Have you ever accidentally called somebody from Brazil Latino or let's keep somebody else?
01:50:04.000Yeah, you ask a Dominican what they think about like, yeah, like a Mexican person, and you're going to hear like slurs you've never heard in your life.
01:50:20.000You know, I have the most restrictive immigration policies that are that are my favorite.
01:50:26.000I think we should shut immigration down for a decade.
01:50:28.000No immigrants except for 01 visas and let the people that are here assimilate.
01:50:34.000And I think that everybody that's here illegally should be deported, like everybody.
01:50:40.000And that's about as extreme as you get on immigration policy.
01:50:46.000But even I don't think that, oh, we shouldn't allow people in based on race or anything.
01:50:53.000Like you definitely can disallow people based on ideology.
01:50:58.000Like I don't think that we should let, I think that it's correct that the United States says we don't let communists in, right?
01:51:03.000Like if you don't look at things like private property, as property rights as sacred, then you shouldn't be allowed to become an American, period.
01:51:19.000Like Trump's done that with banning certain countries from sending people here.
01:51:23.000That's the question is like, I mean, if this is a widely held belief among like 99% of the population, then we're not going to risk it to hopefully get this 1% as well.
01:56:48.000Look, the reason the Marine Corps exists is because of the Barbary pirates and because there were people that said, hey, we're going to just scoop your people up and put them in slavery.
01:57:02.000Like that has been something that has gone on in the Middle East for literally ever.
01:57:09.000So it's not like it's new to think that there are problems in the Middle East.
01:57:15.000That has been, as long as there's been a United States, the United States has had to deal with issues from Middle Eastern countries because of their religion, right?
01:57:26.000Like that's just the way that it is, whether it's the Somali pirates or the Barbary pirates or dealing with Gaza or whatever.
01:57:36.000Like that, the idea that we're going to have to deal with this, it goes without saying.
01:57:44.000It's part of just the existence of apparently that region.
01:57:50.000So yes, we're going to have to deal with it, but it's not about U.S. interference.
01:57:56.000It's about the people that are over there and their belief system.
01:57:59.000Was it Jacob and Esau came out of the womb fighting?
01:58:03.000There's a lot in the, I mean, if you want to get into like biblical stuff, there's just so much in there that is predictive of exactly what's going on today.
01:58:10.000I mean, look, it goes all the way back to the, at least the stuff between Israel and the Arabs goes all the way back to Isaac and Ishmael.
01:59:20.000Raul Cortez says, yeah, I'm indifferent to any of the points brought up in favor of Israel.
01:59:25.000I'm not bothered by Israel fighting their enemies, but I just don't see the casual relationship between Israel safety and American interests.
01:59:32.000I mean, look, I agree with you about the about, you know, Israel can fight their enemies however they want to fight them.
01:59:41.000I saw a post this weekend on X about the Sudan and like half a million people died there.
01:59:48.000And it's like, no one cares because no one can blame the Jews, you know?
01:59:52.000So it's, there's plenty of places where there are more horrible things going on than what is going on in Gaza.
02:00:00.000And you don't hear people making us think about it.
02:00:03.000And I genuinely do think a lot of the reason is because, you know, you can't blame Israel.
02:00:08.000So just for some numbers, because I did look this up recently, there are 300 million people facing food insecurity in the world.
02:00:14.000Less than 2 million of those are in the Gaza Strip.
02:00:17.000So there's a lot of countries, including Haiti, Sudan, Mali, who are facing much more severe crises that nobody seems to care about at all.
02:00:28.000And mostly because they can't make a political statement about it.
02:02:28.000Yeah, and you can follow the organization to hear more about the work that we're doing to defend all embattled democracies and talk about how great America is at FDD.org.
02:07:01.000So a big part of the reason why I like Atlanta is because it's one of the few places.
02:07:06.000And I actually, I like it because I'm so used to going there.
02:07:12.000And the reason that I'm so used to going there is because I used to travel or direct all my long flights through Atlanta because it's one of the few places where you can smoke.
02:07:42.000So, a disgusting video appears to show sewage water leaking from the ceiling of America's busiest airport on Monday.
02:07:48.000The stomach churning footage taken by Jamal Carlos Jr. shows the murky water exploding through a ceiling panel at Hartsfield, Jackson, Atlanta International Airport.
02:07:58.000The gushing water stunned travelers who are trying to pass through the terminal.
02:10:32.000I woke up at three in the morning and the whole floor, the whole bottom of my, my like carpet was wet, obviously with like black water and stuff like that.
