Timcast IRL - Tim Pool - Timcast IRL - Biden CUTS SPEECH As Iran ATTACKS US Targets, WWIII Trending w-Preston Parra

00:00:00.000 In the middle of a press conference, Joe Biden cut it short saying he had to go to the situation

00:00:13.000 room to deal with something and that something is reportedly Iran striking numerous U.S.

00:00:19.000 military bases in Iraq and Syria.

00:00:22.000 We've got reporting now from Israel that Iran was involved in the attacks that we saw from Hamas.

00:00:28.000 The U.S.

00:00:28.000 is deploying the THAAD missile system into the region, and many journalists note that Hezbollah and Hamas do not have ballistic missiles.

00:00:38.000 The THAAD system is... I believe it's Missile Defense System.

00:00:42.000 It's for stopping and intercepting.

00:00:43.000 It's kind of like the Iron Dome.

00:00:45.000 So it looks like...

00:00:47.000 We're gearing up for war with Iran, call it World War 3, whatever, trending on Twitter, on X, World War 3. 0.99

00:02:00.000 Thanks for having me.

00:02:01.000 Yeah, who are you?

00:02:02.000 What do you do?

00:02:02.000 I like to consider myself like an America First Crusader for Christ.

00:02:07.000 I work with a number of campaigns and legislators throughout the country to kind of invoke and push forward the America First agenda.

00:02:14.000 I joined the Army right out of high school, finished that up, and now I'm just focused on, you know, doing what I can from social media and journalism and just working with some of these folks to really, you know, enact the America First agenda.

00:02:29.000 Right on! 0.80

00:02:29.000 Well thanks Frank, that should be fun. 0.80

00:02:30.000 We got Hannah-Claire Brimelow hanging out.

00:02:31.000 Hi, I'm Hannah-Claire Brimlow.

00:02:33.000 I'm a writer for TimCast.com.

00:02:35.000 It's the best news site alongside the Postmillennial, because Libby's here.

00:02:39.000 Hey! 0.99

00:02:39.000 Thanks, Hannah-Claire. 0.99

00:02:40.000 I'm Libby Emmons.

00:02:41.000 I'm filling in for Ian again, which is awesome.

00:02:44.000 I'm the editor-in-chief of the Postmillennial and HumanEvents.com.

00:02:49.000 And I am Serge.com.

00:02:51.000 We miss you, Ian.

00:02:51.000 Come back.

00:02:53.000 Let's get started, Tim.

00:02:54.000 Here's the story from Sky News.

00:02:56.000 President Joe Biden cuts press conference short as White House confirms Iran actively facilitating some attacks on U.S.

00:03:05.000 military bases in Iraq and Syria.

00:03:07.000 I just love the language, how it's so like passive and confused.

00:03:13.000 Iran actively facilitating some attacks.

00:03:16.000 Okay, look, is Iran attacking the US or not?

00:03:19.000 I think the issue is they want to cede the information.

00:03:21.000 That's how it usually happens.

00:03:23.000 They want to gear us up for the moment when they announce troops are going to be deployed specifically to fight with Iran.

00:03:28.000 We've already seen members of Congress say they're drafting an authorization for use of military force against Iran.

00:03:35.000 I apologize.

00:03:35.000 I have to go to the Situation Room with another issue.

00:03:40.000 I have to do it.

00:03:40.000 War 3. On Twitter, World War 3 is trending. Here's the clip.

00:03:44.000 I want to play this clip for you. It's quite simple. It's only a few seconds long, and when

00:03:48.000 Malcolm Flex has it, Biden cuts his speech short as the attacks are happening. Can't confirm if it's

00:03:53.000 casual or not. Here we go. We got sound right? I apologize. I have to go to the situation with

00:03:58.000 another issue. I have to do it. Thank you.

00:04:01.000 Thank you. Thank you. So that's it. It's It's rather uneventful, other than to say, in the middle of a press conference, he announced he was going to have to go to the Situation Room, because we've got these.

00:04:12.000 This report, Malcolm Flex is tweeting, "...groups with ties to the Iranian militias claim they've attacked.

00:04:16.000 With rockets, three bases in northeast Syria, al-Omar, al-Tanf, and al-Shaddadi, could be a tell as far as where Iran and probably Iran-loyal militant states in the area stand." 0.52

00:04:28.000 Okay.

00:04:29.000 Well, I hope you're all ready for World War III.

00:04:31.000 And how are you doing?

00:04:33.000 I learned that if you have taken anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medication over the last 12 months or for a cumulative 36 months in the last couple of years, you can't be drafted.

00:04:43.000 So I think a lot of women are not going to be drafted as we head into World War III. 0.99

00:04:48.000 And Gen Z. Men, I hope you're ready.

00:04:50.000 Gen Z especially.

00:04:52.000 Big Pharma's going to save the day, right?

00:04:54.000 Well, it is our great hope and savior.

00:04:56.000 What would we do without Big Pharma?

00:04:58.000 That's really interesting because women don't get drafted anyway. 1.00

00:05:00.000 Women don't have to register for Selective Service. 1.00

00:05:02.000 No, they don't.

00:05:03.000 Only if you're a man who's dressed like a woman, then you have to register for Selective Service. 0.99

00:05:07.000 They haven't gotten around that loophole yet, which is kind of funny.

00:05:10.000 Yeah.

00:05:10.000 Well, because Biden came, there was a report last year that the Biden administration was saying that trans women do have to register for Selective Service.

00:05:23.000 So, all you Draft Dodgers that are buying skirts right now, don't worry, it's not going to work. 1.00

00:05:28.000 Yeah, just get on the SSRIs instead.

00:05:30.000 Well, it's funny because there was this poll that came out about the Israel-Palestine conflict, and I guess 18 to 24 overwhelmingly are in favor of Palestine and Hamas.

00:05:41.000 And I say and Hamas because I am not trying to say they're the same thing. 0.95

00:05:46.000 I'm actually drawing the distinction.

00:05:47.000 Many of these leftists are cheering on Hamas explicitly.

00:05:50.000 That's what I'm trying to point out.

00:05:53.000 You know, and it's because of that the U.S.

00:05:55.000 is getting its ever-so-desperate Cassius Belli with it for Iran.

00:06:01.000 The U.S.

00:06:02.000 military industrial complex, deep state, whatever, has wanted war with Iran the entire time I've been alive.

00:06:08.000 Alright?

00:06:08.000 And so, now, because of this fight, you know, Hamas, going into Israel, killing all these civilians, Israel's released footage.

00:06:15.000 It's horrifying footage, man.

00:06:18.000 Some of it's only been described.

00:06:19.000 Some of it, there is video they released.

00:06:21.000 I watched some of it.

00:06:21.000 It's crazy.

00:06:23.000 And now, this is the funny thing the U.S.

00:06:25.000 likes to do.

00:06:27.000 Hamas attacks Israel, and so all of a sudden they're like, you mean Iran?

00:06:31.000 We have to go to war with Iran? 0.89

00:06:32.000 Like, no, no, no, we're talking about Hamas.

00:06:34.000 You mean, so Iran?

00:06:35.000 We're gonna go, we're invading Iran? 1.00

00:06:37.000 Alright, let's send the troops to Iran.

00:06:38.000 It's like, oh, what?

00:06:40.000 Okay, I guess, but now they're basically saying that all of this is actually Iran.

00:06:44.000 Iran's the one funding it. 0.79

00:06:45.000 Iran's the one planning it. 1.00

00:06:46.000 It's like, okay, well, then fine.

00:06:48.000 I guess we're going to World War III.

00:06:51.000 Well, Iran was reported by the Wall Street Journal to have been in a meeting with Hamas and Hezbollah just the Monday before the attack, saying that it was reported that Iran greenlit the attack at that point, and then Iran denied it later.

00:07:07.000 But Iran has been backing Hamas for a very long time.

00:07:10.000 Iran has been backing Hamas since Like, Israel kicked out a bunch of terrorists and sent them to Lebanon, where they got trained by Hezbollah and the, what is it, the Iranian Guard?

00:07:22.000 What are they called?

00:07:22.000 I forget.

00:07:23.000 But the IGF?

00:07:25.000 The IGF, yeah.

00:07:26.000 The IGF.

00:07:26.000 And they were getting trained.

00:07:27.000 So Hamas got trained by Hezbollah and the IGF in Lebanon before they became Hamas in the late 80s.

00:07:36.000 So this would mean that Russia should be declaring war on the United States explicitly?

00:07:39.000 Um, perhaps.

00:07:40.000 Ukrainian forces are funded, armored, trained by U.S.

00:07:44.000 and E.U.

00:07:45.000 forces, and if the argument from the United States is that we have to go to war with Iran because they've trained Hamas, then Russia would need to declare war on the United States, right?

00:07:55.000 This argument is, you know, have your cake and eat it too.

00:07:57.000 Yeah, it's the U.S.' 's own version of it's okay when we do it.

00:08:01.000 Right, exactly. 0.98

00:08:01.000 It's ridiculous. 0.98

00:08:02.000 I mean, I think part of it is that we always knew there was very There's a slim chance that this wouldn't expand regionally, that other countries nearby would get involved. 0.64

00:08:11.000 And I think you're right with this headline.

00:08:12.000 They're trying to sort of preemptively set up the argument for why America needs to get involved in this war, which I just don't think is necessarily the best case scenario for anyone.

00:08:22.000 And I understand that we have allies or we have relationships, diplomatic, with Israel and everyone else in the region.

00:08:30.000 On the other hand, we create all of these problems and then we say, oh, well, don't worry, we'll come fix it.

00:08:35.000 Preston, did you do anything exciting when you were in the Army?

00:08:38.000 Uh, no.

00:08:39.000 No, I didn't.

00:08:40.000 Right when I joined, really, the COVID pandemic hit, and they enforced the COVID vaccine, and that's kind of why I'm out now.

00:08:47.000 Oh, wow!

00:08:48.000 Yeah, so, no, I didn't get to do much.

00:08:50.000 What was your, like, what was your role?

00:08:51.000 What was your job?

00:08:53.000 88 Mike, I was actually going to do green to gold where I could enlist to become a JAG officer.

00:08:56.000 That's what the whole plan was until it got kind of sidestepped by the vaccine.

00:09:01.000 Oh wow.

00:09:01.000 Well, here we are.

00:09:02.000 I'm not, I wonder, that's actually a really interesting point you bring up because we're talking about the draft too, but how many good men and women in uniform left over the COVID vaccination and the bigger picture How depleted or how far behind are we in terms of recruitment goals?

00:09:19.000 Not just because of the vaccine, but because of wokeness and politics in general.

00:09:24.000 I guess the conspiracy theory is the reason the U.S.

00:09:27.000 is allowing all these people to cross the border into the country is that they're going to offer them up citizenship to be frontline infantry or something, which, you know, I don't know if that's effective, but I do kind of know anybody who's played any one of these strategy video games, like World of Warcraft or Starcraft or whatever, you just mass-produced the lowest quality fighter and just non-stop send them wave after wave after your enemies, you win.

00:09:48.000 So, like, You can have all the nukes, all the jets, all the satellites you want, but if your ground army is bigger, you win.

00:09:55.000 And, you know, your willingness to sacrifice them.

00:09:57.000 But in that capacity, the US has technology, but they don't have people.

00:09:59.000 Sure.

00:10:01.000 No, they don't.

00:10:01.000 And the thing about military recruitment goals is that we've been behind for a long time.

00:10:06.000 So there are people who left, like you're saying, because of the COVID vaccine.

00:10:11.000 There are now also people who will not enlist because of the COVID vaccine.

00:10:14.000 And so on top of the issues that we're already having with a population that is not qualified to be a part of the military, those who are willing to enlist and who will enlist, it's just this extremely small margin.

00:10:25.000 I don't like the idea that we would just be like, oh, well, you came here illegally, but To give you citizenship, we'll let you enlist in the army.

00:10:32.000 I think that's not a logical justification, but if you're about to say, things are very desperate, we need boots on the ground, you're sort of creating a worst case scenario and then delivering this solution that is imperfect in and of itself.

00:10:45.000 Well, that's kind of the strategy they use, like recruiters use, to bring people into the military.

00:10:50.000 I know my recruiters at least would, it's kind of like a running joke on TikTok too, where people will go to like Home Depot and pick up illegals to join the military and they'll offer them, you know, citizenship so they'll join.

00:11:01.000 But just in my personal experience, all the good folks, all the people who, you know, were meant to be in the military, there wasn't a lot of them left.

00:11:10.000 And I know that during my basic training in AIT, which is like advanced training for your job, We had people, the treatment of people and their standards was unbelievable.

00:11:23.000 Women were, you know, like we had some people in there that were like five foot two, couldn't carry the load for themselves. 1.00

00:11:29.000 We would go on ruck marches that were really 12 miles long and they would end up falling out and they would get put in a truck and get driven back and or they couldn't shoot what you were supposed to shoot what the standard was and they would pass them anyway.

00:11:42.000 Why would they pass anyway?

00:11:43.000 Because they have to fill these spots.

00:11:45.000 Are they just creating cannon fodder, basically?

00:11:47.000 The other thing that's happening is that recruitment, all of the numbers are actually off from what I know from people who are enlisted right now is that they are using, like, they are shifting data to pad their numbers because they are so far behind in recruitment goals.

00:12:00.000 I mean, it's not good, but once you get into the army they need to keep you there.

00:12:03.000 So, what I've heard from a lot of people, and this goes back well before the culture war stuff, That in basic training, the men, like the clothes they give you, what are the PTs, is that what they're called?

00:12:16.000 Filthy and dirty as you're like crawling through the mud.

00:12:18.000 You don't wash them, you take them off.

00:12:19.000 You wake up, you eat as fast as you can, you get back to it.

00:12:22.000 The women would cry, complain, sit down, refuse to walk any further because it hurts too much, and then be told, don't worry, it's fine. 0.99

00:12:27.000 Like you mentioned, get a truck to drive them the rest of the way.

00:12:29.000 They couldn't carry anything.

00:12:31.000 They were mandated to be able to get showers and clean clothes every day.

00:12:35.000 And the argument was medical.

00:12:37.000 Women have medical reasons where they're required to have clean clothes. 1.00

00:12:40.000 And so the men are being thrown into the muck and told, figure it out.

00:12:44.000 And the women are being given this hospital four-star treatment.

00:12:48.000 These are all reasons that I never would have joined the military.

00:12:52.000 I like showers and clean clothes.

00:12:54.000 No, no.

00:12:54.000 You get them.

00:12:55.000 Women get them. 1.00

00:12:56.000 Men don't. 1.00

00:12:57.000 That's ridiculous. 0.97

00:12:57.000 They got complacent with the low standards of a lot of the girls, and they would literally walk the two-mile runs. 0.97

00:13:03.000 What I was told is that if they tell the women you can't have a shower, it's discrimination based on sex because women have special needs, and so they have to get showers.

00:13:12.000 Then they shouldn't be allowed to join the military.

00:13:15.000 And if they hold the women at the same standards as the men, well that's sexist because men and women are different, even though now the argument is that men and women aren't different.

00:13:21.000 If you look at the Bostock decision, it's sexual discrimination to not give the men showers, but to give the women showers. 0.56

00:13:32.000 That's discriminatory.

00:13:34.000 Everybody gets showers on the battlefield.

00:13:36.000 Come on, Tim.

00:13:38.000 Anything that doesn't benefit the left is discrimination until it benefits them, then it's balanced.

00:13:43.000 So like, if you say, they'll come out and they'll say, men and women are the same, therefore, you know, trans people should be in women's sports, everyone should be equal, and then you go, okay, military training, equality, that's not fair, men and women are different! 1.00

00:13:56.000 Women can't carry as much as men, so they get special treatments, like, wait, wait, wait, you just said men and women weren't different, now you're saying they're different. 0.97

00:14:01.000 So the issue is, the left simultaneously argues both positions.

00:14:03.000 This is why I often say there's no morality on the left.

00:14:06.000 There is none, yeah.

00:14:06.000 The left does not have a moral position, they have a give me power.

00:14:10.000 So, in the military, women don't run. 1.00

00:14:12.000 Not all of them, you know, some women do. 1.00

00:14:14.000 Most.

00:14:14.000 But, right.

00:14:16.000 You know, so, this is an interesting point about where we're currently at in recruitment goals.

00:14:20.000 It's probably worse than we realize.

00:14:22.000 The military is probably just a whole bunch of, like, 22-year-old women with two moms. 1.00

00:14:26.000 Yeah.

00:14:26.000 That's in their advertising.

00:14:28.000 They'll throw a bonus at you, $20,000 to join, but their standards are ridiculous.

00:14:33.000 And I even had a girl in front of me on one march specifically, and she was crying because the load was too much for her to carry. 0.97

00:14:41.000 She was, again, like five foot two, so I tried to like lift her rucksack up with my hands the whole way there, but it's like you can't have that kind of like situation on the battlefield, you know?

00:14:52.000 And so I just think it's kind of sad that that's where we've gotten to as a country.

00:14:56.000 I've heard arguments afford that they need to revisit some of their standards, like this thing about anxiety medication, right?

00:15:01.000 Like, if you've taken anxiety medication during these parameters, you're disqualified from military service.

00:15:06.000 So it means that some people just don't report it or, you know, I've heard a lot of special forces people say, I just lied.

00:15:12.000 I lied my way through it because I wanted really badly to make it and I am qualified other than these sort of You know, rules they felt were arbitrary.

00:15:19.000 But in some cases, you know, the idea of being battle-ready is very important.

00:15:25.000 And I think we saw this with, you know, letting women in the military, the physical standard at which they are expected to meet has to be lowered because women are different biologically and physiologically than men.

00:15:35.000 And so ultimately, in pursuit of what we think is best at home, are we actually putting people in foreign fields in a battle-ready situation where the people around them can protect them?

00:15:45.000 I just don't think so.

00:15:46.000 Well, and also that shouldn't really be what's going on in a battlefield.

00:15:49.000 Everyone should be there to do their best and not need to be protected by their peers.

00:15:55.000 The other thing, though, is like... I think it's normal to have people looking out for each other when they're fighting.

00:15:58.000 Yeah, you look out for each other, but, like, you can't look out for someone who can't look out for you.

00:16:02.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:16:03.000 You know, like, if the 5'2 woman who can't carry her own pack, like, how's she gonna look after Preston? 1.00

00:16:08.000 She's not! 1.00

00:16:09.000 That's the problem.

00:16:09.000 So you're not allowed to have taken SSRIs and anxiety medication for a certain period of time, but you are allowed to be taking cross-sex hormones?

00:16:17.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:16:19.000 No, they give you the cross-examination.

00:16:20.000 Oh, they give you those.

00:16:21.000 Of course.

00:16:22.000 That's the benefit of signing up.

00:16:23.000 That's like your rations, you know?

00:16:24.000 That's your rations.

00:16:25.000 Got it.

00:16:26.000 Let's jump to this from the New York Times.

00:16:27.000 US sends more missile defense systems to Middle East.

00:16:30.000 I love this headline because they don't want to actually give you the headline that explains

00:16:35.000 we're about to go to World War III.

00:16:37.000 The latest deployment is in response to growing threats from Iran and its allies in the region.

00:16:41.000 President Biden has warned Iran to not join the war against Hamas.

00:16:46.000 Why would Iran join a war against Hamas?

00:16:48.000 See, the New York Times phrases these things in very interesting ways.

00:16:52.000 So, they're sending a THAAD battery, which is, I don't know if they have what it stands for, it's something high-altitude aerial defense or something like this.

00:16:59.000 I forgot what the first one is.

00:17:01.000 U.S.

00:17:01.000 sending THAAD battery and additional Patriot battalions to have its most powerful weapons against missiles to the region.

00:17:06.000 In a statement Sunday, blah blah blah, they're gonna be sending a lot more, and we have this from Bloomberg.

00:17:11.000 U.S.

00:17:11.000 vows to hold Iran responsible for attacks on troops in Mideast.

00:17:15.000 Pentagon spokesman places blame even without a direct order.

00:17:19.000 U.S.

00:17:19.000 is moving more forces, weapons, and ships to the region.

00:17:22.000 So we already had 19,000.

00:17:25.000 We're moving up to 21,000 active personnel in the region.

00:17:28.000 I think six, uh, well, the Washington Post reported 4,000 Marines and sailors with 2,000 troops, I guess, more Marines.

00:17:36.000 So I don't know what, how many of those individuals are specifically for, uh, Ground combat mm-hmm says the US ramped up his rhetoric

00:17:43.000 toward Iran Saying would hold Tehran accountable for drone and rocket

00:17:46.000 attacks on US troops by its proxies in the Middle East Even as Washington tries to avert a riot wider regional war

00:17:52.000 they keep saying that does is Washington actually trying to avert anything

00:17:55.000 No, I don't think so You've got folks like Nikki Haley that are just, you know, they just want us to go to war. 0.98

00:18:01.000 They've got Raytheon in their closet.

00:18:03.000 And we shouldn't be involved at all.

00:18:05.000 You know, Biden shouldn't be making statements.

00:18:07.000 And really, any Republican who calls himself America First should not be advocating for any action whatsoever in the Middle East.

00:18:14.000 We have our own problems here.

00:18:15.000 We don't need to worry about abroad.

00:18:17.000 We've got veterans killing themselves.

00:18:19.000 I think it's 16 a day.

00:18:20.000 Young men killing themselves at astronomical rates, more than any other demographic.

00:18:25.000 In the country, we don't need to be over there.

00:18:27.000 And especially in a situation where you've got two sides of it, where both are committing atrocity.

00:18:34.000 And I think most people just want peace.

00:18:36.000 But even if you say you want peace, if you say you want to cease fire, folks like Ben Shapiro will say that you're a pro-terrorist.

00:18:42.000 And so it's really unfortunate.

00:18:44.000 And if you're going to be America first, you cannot be pro-involvement in the Middle East at all.

00:18:48.000 So THAAD is Terminal High Altitude Area Defense, formerly known as Theater High Altitude Area Defense.

00:18:54.000 So that's what it stands for.

00:18:55.000 I remember when I was in South Korea, they had a bunch of people protesting, saying no THAAD, and the argument was that the US was going to deploy the THAAD system to be able to respond to North Korean ballistic missile attacks.

00:19:07.000 But, as I mentioned in the earlier segment, many journalists are saying Hezbollah and Hamas don't have this, so the US is just gearing up for war with Iran.

00:19:13.000 I think a lot of these news stories...

00:19:16.000 A lot of them are intentionally, they're seeding, they're a little bit of spice in the news to be like, get you used to it.

00:19:25.000 War with Iran, war with Iran. 0.69

00:19:26.000 That way when something happens, because now we've got conversations about sleeper cells, Hamas sleeper cells in the United States.

00:19:32.000 The U.S.

00:19:33.000 is trying to connect Hamas to Iran as much as they can because of what just happened in Israel.

00:19:37.000 Now we've got reports, Kevin McCarthy, Ron DeSantis have been warning about this.

00:19:41.000 They're saying Hamas has sent sleeper cells to the southern border.

00:19:44.000 The next thing that happens is some kind of false flag or just an outright attack from Hamas.

00:19:50.000 And then they say, see, that was Iran.

00:19:51.000 Yeah, I think ultimately that is the direction.

00:19:55.000 I also think it's very difficult for the American people to keep up with all of the moving parts.

00:19:59.000 There are so many moving parts.

00:20:00.000 There are so many moving parts and they share a complicated intertwined regional history that we just are blind to in a lot of ways.

00:20:08.000 We don't really know it.

00:20:10.000 We don't really know that history.

00:20:12.000 Well, what's interesting though, and this is some research I was doing over the weekend actually and last week, the history that we know of Israel and the Middle East is given to us primarily and given to our students by textbooks.

00:20:26.000 And those textbooks were created, most of them, after 9-11 at this point.

00:20:32.000 And they were heavily influenced by like the Center for Islamic Education.

00:20:37.000 that talked to the publishers and the textbook companies and made sure to have

00:20:41.000 very positive views of Islam and very negative views of Judaism and Christianity.

00:20:47.000 So when you see all of these high school students staging walkouts of like, you know, saying like,

00:20:53.000 you know, free Palestine and like stand with Gaza and all of this stuff.

00:20:58.000 They have been taught that in their history classrooms.

00:21:00.000 That is what they have learned directly and they have learned that directly because that's, you know, that's what's in the textbooks.

00:21:08.000 These are textbooks that were adopted in California and because California is such a huge market for educational materials, Once it's in those textbooks, that's what's disseminated across the rest of the country.

00:21:18.000 It downplays jihad.

00:21:20.000 It downplays the concept of from the river to the sea, which is the eradication of Israel.

00:21:25.000 It downplays Sharia law as something that just means get closer to God.

00:21:30.000 It downplays the modesty laws and all of that stuff.

00:21:32.000 I did like a, I was reading in these textbooks, it even downplays the Islamic conquest.

00:21:40.000 And it says that Islam spread. 0.53

00:21:42.000 It doesn't say that Islam... I'm not saying it's spread by the sword.

00:21:45.000 It doesn't say that it's spread by the sword.

00:21:47.000 No, it's spread like water.

00:21:48.000 It just naturally trickles through the soul.

00:21:49.000 And it also says that because it's part of Islam that you can't convert people on purpose, and so therefore it's peaceful.

00:21:56.000 And Islam lives in harmony with other religions without actually mentioning the horrifying wars, the like.

00:22:05.000 You know, all of that stuff.

00:22:06.000 And what the cultural implications are.

00:22:08.000 I mean, there's this story right now about this 16-year-old girl.

00:22:11.000 Yeah, we heard that today at an event.

00:22:13.000 She was beaten because she wasn't wearing her hijab correctly, I believe.

00:22:18.000 She's in a vegetative state.

00:22:18.000 Oh, yeah.

00:22:19.000 Dragged from a train?

00:22:20.000 Right.

00:22:20.000 She's in a vegetative state.

00:22:22.000 She, I assume, will not make it, which is extremely tragic.

00:22:25.000 But in America, we get to say, like, oh, it's just a different culture.

00:22:28.000 We don't know what it's like there. 0.81

00:22:29.000 It's gross.

00:22:30.000 We would not let this happen here, I hope.

00:22:32.000 But we do let it happen here.

00:22:34.000 It's worse.

00:22:34.000 I mean, we have, there's honor killings in the U.S.

00:22:37.000 Yeah, there are, but we don't talk about them.

00:22:38.000 Yes, but hold on.

00:22:40.000 While there are many stories like that, there are women being victimized and beaten in the streets, and men, as crime is running rampant.

00:22:49.000 We're now seeing like CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, and all these stores, 1,500 stores are closing over the rampant crime.

00:22:55.000 So, when we talk about, oh, it's so awful that someone didn't wear her job and she was beaten, you're absolutely right, it's horrible.

00:23:00.000 And then we have the story of the woman on the train in Philadelphia who was raped and everyone just watched it happen.

00:23:04.000 Right.

00:23:04.000 Then you have the story of the guy in New York City who saw the dude threatening the lives of the people on the train and said, I gotta stop this guy with three, two other dudes, and then they tried to lock him up.

00:23:12.000 They're still trying to lock him up.

00:23:12.000 Yeah.

00:23:13.000 They're still trying to lock him up.

00:23:14.000 Yeah.

00:23:15.000 So we're like, we would never let it happen here.

00:23:16.000 And here's a guy who tried to save the lives of people on a train.

00:23:19.000 And one woman said that man saved our lives and the police are locking him up in jail.

00:23:23.000 So we got those problems.

00:23:24.000 I don't think it's that we don't like bad things happening here.

00:23:25.000 It's just the specific modesty laws don't exist here the same way, except when they're enforced culturally.

00:23:31.000 But we got it the other direction.

00:23:33.000 This is the problem.

00:23:33.000 I know.

00:23:34.000 I mean, it's like, We have the mirror image to the Iran problem. 0.90

00:23:38.000 Iran's problem is they're beating women for not wearing hijab.

00:23:40.000 They shouldn't be doing that. 0.98

00:23:41.000 And they kill this young woman.

00:23:43.000 There's protests. 0.83

00:23:44.000 And then United States, the inverse, where they're putting these lewd and lascivious books in schools. 0.97

00:23:47.000 And we're like, man, where's the middle ground?

00:23:49.000 Like, let women wear, you know, sexy clothes, but don't give kids these books with graphic material in them. 1.00

00:23:56.000 And it's weird because the same progressives that are saying, yes, put those books in school are the same ones chanting in favor The left tried arguing this a long time ago that Trump supporters had a lot in common with like Al Qaeda and like Muslim terrorists or whatever.

00:24:07.000 survive in this culture they're advocating for.

00:24:10.000 The left tried arguing this a long time ago, that Trump supporters had a lot in common

00:24:14.000 with Al-Qaeda and Muslim terrorists or whatever.

00:24:18.000 Like dude, if Hamas did come over here and it was just some regular Palestinian guy on 0.74

00:24:24.000 a street corner and he started expressing his opinions on LGBTQ stuff and wokeness.

00:24:28.000 A lot of conservatives would be like, I completely agree with those positions.

00:24:32.000 Then, of course, the guy would say something like, throw him off a roof or whatever, something horrifying, and the Trump supporters would be like, yo, bro, what's wrong with you?

00:24:37.000 That's crazy.

00:24:38.000 That's like way too far for us.

00:24:40.000 But so many of these left-wing activists are cheering for a group that, as you all mentioned, Yeah, I think a lot of them are definitely uneducated on, you know, what goes on in Palestine, but I do understand some of their gripes.

00:25:00.000 And I think that, you know, you talk about the textbook things.

00:25:03.000 I've heard reports of textbooks being infiltrated with Zionists, you know, certain angles. 0.95

00:25:09.000 And I'm Jewish and, you know, I don't want that.

00:25:12.000 I want my, you know, students in my country learning, you know, real truth and, you know, not, you know, that's tampered with by some special interest.

00:25:22.000 And so, and I think that's why a lot of Americans, especially Christian Americans, are kind of entranced with the fact that we must go to war.

00:25:29.000 We must go defend Israel. 0.70

00:25:31.000 And listen, I want there to be peace more than anyone, but I don't think we should get involved with a conflict at all that's foreign. 0.98

00:25:38.000 I think we should be focusing on our issues here, like the guy in the subway.

00:25:41.000 And I just think that Americans are so funny, at least Christian Americans, and especially those who call themselves conservatives, when they say, let's not go to Ukraine!

00:25:51.000 Quit sending my lunch money to Ukraine!

00:25:53.000 And then the second Israel gets attacked, they want to send the kitchen sink. 0.88

00:25:56.000 Well, Israel is a really long-standing ally.

00:25:58.000 And I get that.

00:25:59.000 I get that.

00:25:59.000 But when that long-standing ally is committing war crimes... Israel was attacked.

00:26:04.000 Right.

00:26:04.000 They were attacked.

00:26:05.000 And that shouldn't have happened.

00:26:06.000 And I think that it's under questionable circumstances as well, because even Charlie Kirk pointed out that when it happened, there was a seven-hour stop order ordered by Netanyahu.

00:26:16.000 He didn't say that definitively, though.

00:26:18.000 Right, in which he was attacked right after, too, but... Charlie said, I wonder if someone gave a stand-on order, because how did they not know this?

00:26:24.000 Well, and Egypt warned him, apparently, too, but also... Yeah, but Egypt said something big might happen, which is not a warning of anything.

00:26:32.000 We don't know what the specific intelligence was.

00:26:34.000 And I also think... It is tough, because there is... You can draw benefit to Netanyahu specifically, and the stability of Israel, From the crisis, a unifying crisis.

00:26:46.000 We saw this with the Project for a New American Century back in like 2001 or whatever.

00:26:51.000 A new Pearl Harbor would rally the American people.

00:26:53.000 But I don't think that creates a circumstance in which the simple solution is Israel knew it was going to happen and let it happen. 0.70

00:27:00.000 Because the damage and devastation to Israel is 1,000 times greater than whatever they were experiencing.

00:27:05.000 Yeah, and I don't think it's a... I think it's definitely a corruption issue, and that was what Netanyahu was, like, under investigation for in the first place.

00:27:13.000 He was about to... He was under indictment, and he was about to face trial for it, and a war happens to happen right in his backyard, right when he needed it to, and I just think it's a little bit odd, and I think that when you have Mossad, which is one of the world's most advanced intelligence agencies, how did they not pick up that their most, you know, angered neighbor was not going to attack them?

00:27:33.000 I just don't buy it.

00:27:34.000 I don't buy it.

00:27:35.000 But I don't see any evidence to the contrary either.

00:27:37.000 And I think the issue with, the issue I take with it is, I can tell you, you know, because I was talking earlier about Cassandra Fairbanks, a bunch of conservatives are really angry, they're very pro-Israel, and I'm like, dude, this company and the work that I do is not predicated upon the history of Gaza and Israel.

00:27:54.000 Right.

00:27:55.000 And so what ends up happening is you have these people who for some reason have a large portion of their identity rooted in which side is correct and which side is wrong.

00:28:03.000 And so they'll come out and they'll assert one side has, you know, it's funny because they're like, you know, it's

00:28:07.000 it's historically Palestine Therefore is you know, Israel's the occupying force and 0.85

00:28:11.000 then the other people are like it was Judea and it was like Jerusalem

00:28:13.000 The Holy Land, are you crazy? And I'm just like I got I can tell you it's not America and

00:28:18.000 Yeah, I'm not from there That's my thing!

00:28:24.000 There's been violence and conflict over this region for a really long time, including in recent years prior to October 7th.

00:28:31.000 I'm not saying that Israel shouldn't be able to defend itself.

00:28:34.000 Of course it should.

00:28:34.000 On the other hand, similarly to the conflict that's been ongoing between Russia and Ukraine for a long time, is this in the American people's best interest to wade into a war which we have very little cultural understanding of and at the same time make worse.

00:28:50.000 Like Joe Biden's saying, yes Gaza, I will give you money. 0.99

00:28:53.000 Also Israel, I'll send some troops in. 0.60

00:28:55.000 We don't know what side we're going to be on and ultimately we're not going to make anyone happy.

00:28:59.000 We're only going to ask... I certainly hope we know what side we're going to be on.

00:29:02.000 I certainly hope we're going to be on the side of our allies.

00:29:04.000 Our allies are committing war crimes. 0.86

00:29:07.000 What war crimes are they committing?

00:29:07.000 Well, if you're seeing the reports of white phosphorus being... So you're taking Hamas's word for it?

00:29:12.000 No, no, no.

00:29:13.000 No, but I'm taking reports on the ground.

00:29:16.000 You know, I'm Jewish and I just don't want anyone... I don't want atrocity being conducted against anybody.

00:29:21.000 I don't want any more Israeli lives to be taken. 1.00

00:29:24.000 I don't want any more Palestinian lives to be taken, especially innocent children that we're seeing. 1.00

00:29:29.000 And so, many times, I'm saying this online, and people are saying, oh, so you're pro-Hamas, or, you know, you're pro-sympathizer for terrorists.

00:29:36.000 No, not at all!

00:29:37.000 But I don't want, I don't want any innocents to die, and I'm seeing white phosphorus being rained down, and 1 in 20 buildings in Gaza are leveled, and you're seeing more bombs being dropped on Gaza than were dropped in the entire first year in the Afghanistan war.

00:29:53.000 And so, I, and those are war crimes, okay?

00:29:54.000 Because when you have... What's a war crime, though? 0.52

00:29:56.000 What does that mean?

00:29:57.000 Collective punishment, defined by the Geneva Convention, is to punish an entire group of people, innocent people, for the crimes of, especially this, a terror group.

00:30:05.000 It's the government, though.

00:30:06.000 Hamas was elected to lead the government. 0.56

00:30:08.000 Right, but there hasn't been a fair election in a decade.

00:30:10.000 But I think we pulled this up, too.

00:30:12.000 The recent surveys show that 51% of people in Gaza support Hamas.

00:30:16.000 And so, yeah, I'm not going to blame the civilians.

00:30:18.000 There's a lot of really awful videos that are coming out, but I'll tell you exactly where I'm at.

00:30:23.000 I don't know anything about the region, for the most part.

00:30:24.000 I mean, obviously, I do know a bit about the region, but I have no vested interest in the outcome in the region.

00:30:29.000 I am not here to be like, the history of Israel, or Israel this, Israel that, or Palestine this, Palestine that.

00:30:35.000 I can tell you that on October 7th, a horrifying terror attack occurred in which Hamas tore through the fences, went in and started massacring civilians.

00:30:43.000 Israel's released some of this footage.

00:30:45.000 We got a bunch of this footage.

00:30:46.000 And then what I end up hearing from people is, yeah, well, I bet Israel knew.

00:30:49.000 And I'm like, How did we shift from, we quite literally have video of civilians being gunned down in their car, and people burning down homes, and children being killed, and the response immediately is, yeah, but I bet Netanyahu knew about it, because he was doing it to benefit himself, and it's like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:31:06.000 We are so far from that conversation.

00:31:08.000 The conversation is right now, Israel was attacked, innocent civilians were killed, Max Blumenthal came on and said Hamas targeted the civilians because it's opportunistic for them, it's part of their doctrine to target civilians to use as bargaining chips against Israel and then after that is the beginning and opening premise I have people complaining about Israel and I'm like

00:31:30.000 Yeah, you know?

00:31:31.000 Yeah, Israel's probably doing a lot of bad stuff. 0.96

00:31:33.000 This is what happens when you declare war on someone.

00:31:37.000 Hamas declared war on Israel.

00:31:39.000 Israel is the powerhouse, with the fourth most powerful army, so they say, with support from Western powers, and Hamas decided to declare war.

00:31:47.000 Now, a lot of people then go, yeah, well, you know, it's an open-air prison and blah blah blah.

00:31:50.000 I'm like, you lost me already.

00:31:52.000 I am not Israel, I am not Palestine, I am the United States of America, I am an individual here, and I can't tell you about the history of the region.

00:31:58.000 I can tell you, if they did not tear down those fences, storm in and massacre a thousand plus civilians, there would not be bombings in Gaza. 0.75

00:32:06.000 That's right.

00:32:06.000 Does not mean Israel should be indiscriminately targeting anybody.

00:32:10.000 But then the argument from the pro-Israel side is, we are not just trying to target, and we are not trying to take out civilians.

00:32:17.000 And then I can tell you this, after all the dust settles, Hamas and the left have lied about almost everything. 0.68

00:32:23.000 So when someone comes and says, Israel's engaged in war crimes, I go...

00:32:27.000 Well, from the beginning of the conflict, I've been saying nothing but I want peace.

00:32:30.000 I condemn Hamas.

00:32:30.000 it didn't happen and we were so busy, tricked into arguing over who did it, we

00:32:35.000 never stopped to ask ourselves did it even happen and the answer was it did

00:32:38.000 not. Well from the beginning of the conflict I've been saying nothing but I

00:32:41.000 want peace. I condemn Hamas, I even went as far as saying F Hamas on my Twitter

00:32:46.000 and but I but I think things still have to be pointed out.

00:32:51.000 Israel is a formalized government.

00:32:53.000 Palestine is not. 0.98

00:32:54.000 Nobody takes the Palestinian government serious.

00:32:56.000 So when bombs are being dropped on residential buildings in Gaza, you have to point that out.

00:33:01.000 And if you say that Hamas is using those to protect whatever they have there inside, Well, you know, Israel's very capable of going in with insurgent teams and getting out or killing whoever they need to.

00:33:12.000 The West supplies them with a ton of money and a ton of training with our armed forces, and so I think they're perfectly capable of going in.

00:33:20.000 I don't see a need for leveling an entire building.

00:33:24.000 And the problem is, I don't think you'd see the reaction that you're talking about if

00:33:27.000 you didn't have evangelical Christians on Twitter saying, Glass Gaza, make it a parking

00:33:34.000 lot.

00:33:35.000 Like this incendiary rhetoric that just has no care for human regard.

00:33:39.000 Because it's more about humanity than anything.

00:33:41.000 I could care less if it's Israeli or Palestinian. 1.00

00:33:43.000 It's about humanity.

00:33:45.000 And people are being killed at rates you've never seen before.

00:33:48.000 2014, 88 Israelis died, and 2,329 Palestinians died.

00:33:53.000 No one was calling it, no one was calling, you know, what's going on over there in the Middle East, we should get involved.

00:33:59.000 I don't think comparing the total number of dead answers the question of what, how, or why.

00:34:04.000 And does not indicate justification or... I just don't like how the media covers it differently, because the first time you have an Israeli attack, then it's like, oh my gosh, the world's ending World War III, but Palestinians have been being killed for years, and you're having no coverage of it.

00:34:17.000 And that statistic I just gave you, that's one Israeli for every 27 Palestinians.

00:34:23.000 But that doesn't mean anything.

00:34:24.000 Well, it does to me, because for a decade, 20 times more Palestinians have been killed.

00:34:29.000 So when you say, Alright, but hold on.

00:34:32.000 Who are these Palestinians? 1.00

00:34:34.000 Innocents. 0.99

00:34:35.000 Civilians.

00:34:37.000 So this is the issue I take with it.

00:34:38.000 I am the United States.

00:34:39.000 I am not Israel or Palestine.

00:34:41.000 I know that Hamas just invaded, killed a whole bunch of civilians.

00:34:44.000 Israel responded.

00:34:45.000 Hamas lied about a hospital being leveled and 500 people dying.

00:34:48.000 Totally fabricated.

00:34:49.000 Hamas is wrong. 0.56

00:34:50.000 And so now the premise...

00:34:52.000 Any point you initiate, Israel's blown up buildings. 0.96

00:34:56.000 Not interested.

00:34:56.000 Lie.

00:34:57.000 Prove it.

00:34:58.000 I took Hamas at face value. 0.92

00:35:00.000 Boy, was that a mistake.

00:35:02.000 When they said it was an Israeli airstrike, we were actually arguing like, wow, could it have been an airstrike?

00:35:06.000 I mean, we don't even know.

00:35:07.000 I mean, oh, man.

00:35:08.000 And then it was...

00:35:10.000 A Hamas rocket likely misfired, and then the payload dropped into a parking lot, killing people.

00:35:14.000 Well, that's the thing, though.

00:35:18.000 And maybe it was a parking lot.

00:35:18.000 Maybe.

00:35:19.000 We have no idea.

00:35:20.000 So look, look.

00:35:21.000 So then I hear, yeah, but what about white phosphorus?

00:35:24.000 Bro, I'm sorry, but the people marching through the street who are saying from the river to the sea, who lied about this hospital, get zero benefit of the doubt from me.

00:35:33.000 And that means the only word I have is Israel's, and I don't even trust them. 1.00

00:35:37.000 Well, all I can say is, we don't want collateral damage, we don't want war, we want civilian deaths, we want peace, we want the conflict to stop.

00:35:45.000 The argument then becomes, should Israel airstrike, or should they send in a ground strike force to start executing Hamas?

00:35:51.000 AOC effectively called for that.

00:35:53.000 Saying, we want precision and intelligence, so Israel should invade Gaza. 0.91

00:35:59.000 If they're going to defend themselves, they should not be bombing where there's a ton of civilian casualties.

00:36:04.000 They told everyone to leave, and Hamas told everyone to stay. 0.68

00:36:06.000 But I saw reports of people who were saying, my mom is bedridden because she's sick and she can't get up.

00:36:11.000 What are we supposed to do?

00:36:12.000 Some people have no form of getting anywhere, and they're just supposed to see on Hebrew television that they're supposed to get up and go somewhere.

00:36:18.000 I think that's unrealistic.

00:36:20.000 It's not just on television.

00:36:22.000 Well, where else is it?

00:36:23.000 I mean, they put stuff out.

00:36:24.000 Like, there's been a lot more of that.

00:36:25.000 They went to the UN.

00:36:26.000 They told the UN, like, get people evacuated from this area.

00:36:29.000 The UN spoke to, you know, representatives in Gaza.

00:36:32.000 They have diplomatic channels.

00:36:35.000 This was like a week ago.

00:36:36.000 And the UN was like, it would be very difficult to move a million people at once.

00:36:39.000 I mean, it's an incredibly difficult situation.

00:36:42.000 I think Hamas lies.

00:36:43.000 I think this is a lot of violence.

00:36:45.000 But if we're going to return to the premise of, does America help?

00:36:48.000 Because like we've talked about, if Joe Biden's going to give Whatever millions of dollars to the Palestinians, but we know ultimately that will probably end up in the hands of Hamas. 0.91

00:36:55.000 But then we're also saying, Israel, we're your ally.

00:36:57.000 We're not helping.

00:36:57.000 Did you hear what he said last week?

00:36:59.000 What Biden said last week when he gave that speech?

00:37:00.000 I think it was on Thursday.

00:37:03.000 I think it was Thursday.

00:37:05.000 And he said, you know, we're going to give a bunch of aid to Gaza.

00:37:09.000 And if Hamas doesn't steal it, we'll get more. 0.98

00:37:11.000 We did that here.

00:37:12.000 And it's like, what are you even talking about?

00:37:13.000 What do you mean?

00:37:14.000 Like, obviously, they're going to take it.

00:37:15.000 They take all of it.

00:37:16.000 But also, like, He knows that and he's still trying to play both sides.

00:37:19.000 This is something that we're seeing.

00:37:20.000 I find that more infuriating.

00:37:21.000 I'm much happier to give money to our allies and not give money to our enemies.

00:37:25.000 I would rather give money to the Americans in America than to, you know, see where he did that.

00:37:29.000 I don't want to do that.

00:37:30.000 Both sides of a war that we are now.

00:37:32.000 That's insane.

00:37:34.000 I don't like.

00:37:35.000 I don't like that American and British Western munitions are being used to kill innocent people.

00:37:40.000 I think the human loss and the toll that that is In any world, in any world where morality and ethics exist means if Israel's going to defend themselves, they send in insurgent teams, they kill who they need to kill, whoever caused whatever attacks took place.

00:37:56.000 That's what they do.

00:37:57.000 They don't risk it.

00:37:58.000 They don't risk it with announcements saying, leave Gaza, leave the place.

00:38:02.000 Where are they supposed to go?

00:38:03.000 To tent cities?

00:38:04.000 For them to bomb in Glasgow?

00:38:05.000 of their allies taken refugees from Gaza.

00:38:09.000 Well King Abdullah from Jordan said that he doesn't want to do it because he sees it as

00:38:12.000 kind of enabling Israel to take over Palestine.

00:38:15.000 That's such a great reason.

00:38:17.000 That's a great way to say that.

00:38:18.000 I thought we were going to open borders everywhere.

00:38:19.000 I thought that was the answer.

00:38:20.000 No, just here in America only.

00:38:21.000 Just here.

00:38:22.000 Just to destroy our country. 0.97

00:38:23.000 Oh, okay, so now you're an American settler.

00:38:24.000 I don't understand.

00:38:25.000 As I have now said several times, when your neighborhood is being rioted, you just leave

00:38:30.000 your front door unlocked and then go defend someone else's house.

00:38:32.000 That would make sense!

00:38:35.000 I'm just genuinely curious why people are so fervent, why there's so much fervor over Israel-Palestine.

00:38:45.000 I know.

00:38:46.000 I couldn't tell you. 0.65

00:38:47.000 As a Jew, I don't want to see my fellow Jew die, and I think it's sick.

00:38:51.000 I thought, after the Hamas attacks, all the carnage that was left, the pictures that you saw on Twitter, like I was telling you before the show, you're seeing nothing but graphic footage all around Twitter.

00:39:01.000 The carnage that was left behind by Hamas is despicable. 0.99

00:39:04.000 And the consequence for that should be they should be killed. 1.00

00:39:07.000 But it, again, should be just them that are killed, not innocent kids. 0.97

00:39:10.000 I suppose the challenge is, like, Israel's choices after being attacked are airstrikes on strategic targets, which results in a lot of collateral damage and dead civilians, and that's horrifying, or invasion.

00:39:25.000 I don't know, pick one.

00:39:27.000 Me, I'm kind of just like, I don't know.

00:39:28.000 I'm not Israel, and I'm not in this war, and the United States is partially, I suppose, tangentially involved in this war, and I think we shouldn't be because it's an unsolvable issue.

00:39:40.000 I just think if you've got... I just missed Trump on this.

00:39:44.000 Oh, I mean, sure.

00:39:45.000 But if you've got 51% of Gaza saying they support Hamas, And even in the United States, these people are chanting, from the river to the sea.

00:39:55.000 Peace is not an option.

00:39:56.000 I mean, peace is the preferred outcome, but it's not an option when you have one side saying, from the river to the sea.

00:40:01.000 Yeah, but the majority of those folks, at least I like to think, are not going to go out and actually plant a bomb.

00:40:06.000 I think that justifying any war on Gaza, because those folks are so critical against Israel, that doesn't justify killing them.

00:40:16.000 That's not it.

00:40:17.000 That's Hamas. 0.97

00:40:19.000 Using schools and hospitals to store weapons and to launch rockets and then attacking Israeli civilians because, as that Yale professor said, settlers aren't civilians. 0.97

00:40:28.000 So to the people, to 51% of people in Gaza, let's just say 51% supporting Hamas, anyone, anyone, some of those people were tourists, fair game, kill them all, that's what they're doing. 0.96

00:40:39.000 That's horrifying.

00:40:41.000 You're not going to get peace in Israel, with Israel and Palestine, if that is the view of a million people in the Gaza Strip.

00:40:49.000 Right, yeah.

00:40:51.000 So what is Israel's plan? 0.72

00:40:53.000 Let me ask you, what do you think would happen if the barrier fencing around Gaza was completely removed and Israel just said, anyone in Gaza can do whatever they want.

00:41:00.000 They can freely travel.

00:41:02.000 Well, I mean, that kind of exists now.

00:41:04.000 They're able to go back and forth for jobs.

00:41:06.000 No, no, no.

00:41:07.000 I'm saying, what would happen if the barrier was completely removed?

00:41:11.000 Security around the Gaza Strip was removed, and Israel said to all of the people, you can freely move about all of Israel.

00:41:17.000 What would happen?

00:41:17.000 I'm sure there would probably be conflict going both ways.

00:41:20.000 Both ways?

00:41:21.000 Yes, both ways, because I've seen Hamas and Palestinians... You think Israelis in Tel Aviv will march into Gaza with guns and start killing civilians? 0.55

00:41:29.000 I think violence will be conducted either way.

00:41:32.000 I think that I've seen IDF soldiers treating Palestinian kids very badly on the streets, and sometimes they brag about, you know, doing brutal things to them.

00:41:40.000 I think it would go both ways, regardless of the situation.

00:41:43.000 So if the fences were removed, Israelis would go into Gaza? 0.89

00:41:45.000 I'm not saying just Israelis, I said both ways.

00:41:47.000 I know, both ways. 0.99

00:41:48.000 That means, so, the implied is, Palestinian civilians will go into Israeli settlements and start killing people. 0.98

00:41:54.000 But you also think Israeli civilians will go into Gaza and start killing people?

00:41:57.000 I just think that the conflict would go both ways.

00:41:57.000 I didn't say that.

00:41:59.000 I don't think it would be good for anyone.

00:42:01.000 But what does that mean, both ways?

00:42:03.000 I think that, you know, terror or any act of violence would be carried out both ways by both parties involved.

00:42:08.000 But I don't know what that means.

00:42:09.000 Like, you think the people in the Gaza Strip, would they leave the Gaza Strip?

00:42:13.000 If the barrier is removed, and security is removed, and they say you can freely move about the country... I don't think a lot of them would.

00:42:18.000 They would just stay there.

00:42:19.000 I mean, I'm sure there would be some tension, for sure.

00:42:21.000 But I don't think a lot of them would leave the homes... You think the people in Gaza would just stay there? 1.00

00:42:25.000 So it's not an open-air prison?

00:42:27.000 Well, if you're saying that Palestinians now can't go to Israel, they can.

00:42:31.000 I mean, and I don't think a barrier makes much of a difference if you can get through to it to go to your job from 9 to 5.

00:42:36.000 So it's not an open-air prison, and the complaints of the Palestinians are just exaggerations?

00:42:41.000 Well, I think that the land conflict is a whole other topic.

00:42:46.000 I mean, what belongs to who, that's just a whole other can of worms I don't want to get into.

00:42:50.000 But I don't think a barrier there is what's stopping any specific thing.

00:42:55.000 I think people are able to go free and easy regardless.

00:42:58.000 Right.

00:42:59.000 So the issue, I suppose, is leftists are calling it an open-air prison, where people are trapped and stripped of resources.

00:43:04.000 Well, in a way they are, and that's another war crime you mentioned, because... So it's a war crime that they're trapped in there.

00:43:09.000 Well, it's a war crime what's happening now, where electricity, water, food, and aid is being cut off.

00:43:13.000 But they can just leave.

00:43:14.000 But that's a war crime. 0.67

00:43:15.000 No, no, no, no.

00:43:15.000 It's not if they can just leave, right?

00:43:18.000 That is an area where people live.

00:43:21.000 Innocent people live.

00:43:22.000 And so when you cut off electricity... Who's giving them electricity?

00:43:25.000 Well, Israel. 0.66

00:43:26.000 So they're obligated to give free electricity to people of Gaza?

00:43:29.000 Well, when they oversee certain supply routes, they're able to cut off food and aid.

00:43:33.000 No, but people can just leave Gaza, you said.

00:43:35.000 Right, they can, but they don't want to give up their land again.

00:43:38.000 They don't want to go to a tent city in some desert and then have the land that they had in Gaza be taken over as well.

00:43:45.000 I'm not sure I'm following.

00:43:47.000 So Israel is providing electricity to Gaza.

00:43:50.000 Under what obligation do the Israelis have to give a resource to the people of Gaza?

00:43:55.000 And how is it a war crime if they decide to stop supplying a resource?

00:43:58.000 It's a war crime because those routes, those electricity routes, those trading routes where they get their food, they get their water. 0.77

00:44:06.000 Go through Israel. 0.94

00:44:07.000 So when Israel, the Israeli government cuts it off, that's a war crime.

00:44:11.000 Why?

00:44:12.000 How's it a war crime? 0.69

00:44:12.000 Because you're disallowing innocent civilians from having drinking water, from having electricity. 0.69

00:44:18.000 So you're saying that it's actually, it's not Israel isn't producing the electricity, they're just going in between where Gaza would get from normally.

00:44:27.000 I know a lot of the supply routes are not just coming from Israel.

00:44:30.000 I don't think there's a lot of Israeli aid.

00:44:31.000 Egypt?

00:44:32.000 Yeah, I think they're coming from... Rafah crossing? 0.96

00:44:34.000 Right.

00:44:34.000 So, so...

00:44:35.000 Egypt is trying to get electricity to Gaza, but then Israel stopping it?

00:44:39.000 I think Egypt is trying to get aid and food and water and resources and medical resources to people and Israel stopping it.

00:44:46.000 How the electricity grid there works, I have no idea, but I know Israeli technology capability does not stop it being able to shut down a power grid.

00:44:57.000 I'm not sure I follow criticism of Israel in this line of thinking.

00:45:03.000 So if people can come and go as they please, but they don't want to live in a tent city so they would choose to live somewhere with electricity, it's a war crime? 0.64

00:45:10.000 Well, no, but you gotta look at it like, let's make it out like it's here.

00:45:14.000 If, you know, I live in Georgia.

00:45:18.000 If Alabama decided to, you know, attack Georgia and come in here and say, well, you gotta leave or you're not gonna have food or water or resources.

00:45:30.000 I don't want my land to be taken over so I'm gonna fight against those people in order to prevent my land from being taken over in order to get resources once again.

00:45:38.000 If your land's already been taken historically...

00:45:41.000 Yeah, but why have the Palestinians rejected a two-state solution going back into the 70s and even previously?

00:45:50.000 Again, when it comes to the land conflict, I think that they don't really see Israel having any claim over the land.

00:45:59.000 Right.

00:46:00.000 They don't want Israel to exist. 0.97

00:46:01.000 Right.

00:46:02.000 That's not okay.

00:46:03.000 However, that doesn't justify a war crime to cut off resources.

00:46:09.000 So what should Israel do when they have neighbors, not just in Gaza and the West Bank, not just the Palestinians that don't think they have a right to exist, but they had a longstanding conflict with Egypt.

00:46:21.000 They've had longstanding enemies in Lebanon.

00:46:26.000 They're the only nation in the entire region, right?

00:46:29.000 And they have enemies surrounding them.

00:46:31.000 So when you had Trump's administration come in with the Abraham Accords creating the bilateral agreements, that was starting to be effective.

00:46:38.000 We recently had Saudi Arabia and Israel almost normalizing relations.

00:46:42.000 You have Israel can't even play soccer in the Middle East League, they have to play in Europe because otherwise they would get killed, right? 0.97

00:46:50.000 And Hamas engaged in the attack they did to stop the Abraham Accords.

00:46:54.000 Yes.

00:46:54.000 Negotiations.

00:46:55.000 And to stop Saudi Arabia and Israel from getting close because the Abraham Accords essentially left the Palestinians out of it. 0.58

00:47:01.000 Why were the Palestinians left out of it?

00:47:03.000 Because they have refused to come to a negotiating table At any point, with a consideration of a two-state solution.

00:47:10.000 So we've had Bill Clinton propose a two-state solution.

00:47:13.000 He had this idea that actually gave Palestinians a whole bunch of stuff that they wanted.

00:47:19.000 And who was it then?

00:47:20.000 It was Yassir Arafat.

00:47:21.000 And Arafat was like, nah, we're not going to do that.

00:47:23.000 You had Obama had a two-state solution.

00:47:25.000 And so finally Trump just ignored them.

00:47:28.000 And they don't like that either, and that's when they lashed out and killed 1,400 people, including a whole bunch of civilians' children.

00:47:37.000 And so now you're saying that there should be a ceasefire because Israel shouldn't be fighting against the people who are actively seeking their extermination.

00:47:46.000 There are Jews and Israeli Jews who believe that Palestine shouldn't exist and that they should have more of a land claim.

00:47:54.000 So to make this whole thing ideologically based, I think is the wrong route to go.

00:48:00.000 People are killing each other.

00:48:01.000 Innocent people are dying.

00:48:02.000 So everyone should want to cease fire.

00:48:05.000 We can come to the table as countries diplomatically after.

00:48:08.000 But like you said, the biggest issue right now is to focus on the civilians that are dying.

00:48:13.000 But they won't come to the table.

00:48:14.000 Before we came up here, the crew downstairs was watching a show called Golden Balls.

00:48:20.000 That was great.

00:48:21.000 It was great.

00:48:21.000 What?

00:48:22.000 Golden Balls.

00:48:23.000 You missed it, Hannah-Claire.

00:48:24.000 Sorry, I was working.

00:48:26.000 We were watching on the big screen.

00:48:28.000 We were watching Golden Balls on the big screen.

00:48:30.000 Golden Balls is a British game show that fills me with righteous indignation and fury.

00:48:37.000 But is it race-based because it's British?

00:48:39.000 So everybody gets some golden balls and then in like the first round, they're like, you show two of them and they have dollar values and the goal is to build a big jackpot and then two of them you don't see and you have to lie about what they're worth.

00:48:53.000 You claim that, oh, if you pick me, I have 10,000 pounds and whatever.

00:48:59.000 In the end, the way the game works, the reason why I bring it up, there are two balls in front of each person, two people left.

00:49:06.000 And one of them is steal the prize money and one of them is split the prize money.

00:49:12.000 If both players agree to split the prize money, they split the prize money.

00:49:17.000 If one player splits the prize money but the other steals it, the person who steals it gets it all.

00:49:22.000 If both players try to steal it, they get nothing.

00:49:24.000 Right.

00:49:25.000 So you see two people look each other in the eyes and say, we're going to split the money.

00:49:29.000 We're going to split it.

00:49:31.000 I will take half the jackpot.

00:49:33.000 And they go, yes.

00:49:33.000 That's fine with me.

00:49:34.000 And then the game show host says, choose your ball, steal the money or split the money.

00:49:41.000 And then they shake hands and they're like, we're going to split it.

00:49:43.000 Yep.

00:49:43.000 And then they both open, steal!

00:49:46.000 They lied the whole time.

00:49:48.000 It's particularly brutal when one person says, I'm gonna split the money with you, and then it gets stolen from them.

00:49:52.000 And they go, I knew it.

00:49:53.000 And you know what you learn from that?

00:49:55.000 People, evil exists.

00:49:58.000 And then the people who choose to steal the money from the other person go, yes, yeah!

00:50:03.000 And so here's what I see.

00:50:05.000 I see these leftists marching through the street.

00:50:06.000 They lie every, every time.

00:50:09.000 Every time.

00:50:10.000 The Hamas hospital thing really pissed me off. 1.00

00:50:13.000 And then they go, they rip through the fences, massacre civilians, watch the videos, and then they go, please help us, please, they're shooting us!

00:50:22.000 And I'm just like, y'all started a fight and you're losing, and now I'm supposed to be mad at the person who's winning.

00:50:28.000 If a guy breaks into my house with a baton, and I've got a Remington 12 gauge, People are going to be like, don't leave him alone, you have a shotgun.

00:50:37.000 Dude broke into my house with a weapon.

00:50:40.000 Israel gets attacked and they go, but 75 years ago, 75 years ago, nothing.

00:50:44.000 I got no idea what you're talking about.

00:50:46.000 Okay, how about we stop fighting right now?

00:50:48.000 If the argument is civilians should stop dying, then Hamas is the problem. 0.79

00:50:53.000 And if the argument is we should have peace between Palestine and Israel, well, the problem is that Hamas exists. 0.58

00:50:59.000 And so long as there's someone who's going to steal the money from the other person and lie about it, there's not going to be a peace agreement.

00:51:05.000 Any other argument is pointless.

00:51:06.000 The people who are like, Israel's engaged in war crimes, blah blah blah, I'm like, dude, there's a war going on, and one side is lying about everything, and started the fight and is actively trying to massacre civilians, arguing that every civilian is a colonizer, and from the river to the sea, they're going to reclaim this land, I'm sorry, dude.

00:51:23.000 Peace agreements sound like a psychotic proposal.

00:51:25.000 There's a man standing before you at the front of your house saying, if you let me in your house, I will do unspeakable things to your children.

00:51:30.000 And then people are like, just let him in.

00:51:32.000 Just let him in and negotiate.

00:51:34.000 You're kicking him outside.

00:51:35.000 He's got no electricity outside.

00:51:36.000 You've cut him off from warmth and heating and air conditioning.

00:51:39.000 It's a war crime. 0.99

00:51:40.000 And I'm like, he's gonna come in here and he's gonna kill everybody. 0.99

00:51:43.000 No, no. 0.76

00:51:44.000 You're committing a war crime by not giving him stuff.

00:51:46.000 And I'm just like, dude.

00:51:48.000 What if, hear me out, we had the leaders of Hamas, Palestine, Israel get together, go on Golden Balls, and see if this settles the conflict?

00:51:48.000 I can't do this.

00:51:56.000 Maybe there is a way to just get out of this using British entertainment television.

00:52:00.000 Peace isn't out of the question when Trump was in office.

00:52:02.000 I think we can always get out of it using British entertainment television.

00:52:04.000 I really think it's an underrated geopolitical diplomatic resource.

00:52:08.000 ...cannot argue for peace after Hamas massacres a bunch of civilians, starting the conflict, and still, right now, despite everything going on, keeps telling everyone they will kill Israelis, no matter what.

00:52:23.000 Let's jump to this story.

00:52:25.000 We got this from the post-millennial.

00:52:27.000 Minneapolis City Council candidate joins crowd in chasing elderly man after blocking highway with anti-Israel mob.

00:52:34.000 I saw this tweet, Endino posted it.

00:52:35.000 This is crazy.

00:52:37.000 It is crazy.

00:52:38.000 This video.

00:52:39.000 Let me see if we can post some of it.

00:52:42.000 You have this massive crowd blockading an intersection.

00:52:45.000 These people in these cars, they got no idea what's going on.

00:52:48.000 They surround the vehicles.

00:52:49.000 They begin attacking the innocent elderly man who has no idea what's going on.

00:52:54.000 The elderly man inches forward and eventually is able to drive through and they chase him down after that and continue attacking his vehicle.

00:53:04.000 Dude, the people who are chanting, free Palestine, They're doing so many things.

00:53:11.000 They're in New York, chanting, what do we want?

00:53:14.000 We want it all.

00:53:15.000 Mm-hmm.

00:53:16.000 They said we want it all.

00:53:17.000 That was right on the corner of that, like, those videos.

00:53:20.000 That's where I used to live, that corner.

00:53:22.000 They're saying, remove the colonizers.

00:53:25.000 Yes.

00:53:25.000 Despite the fact that these people, who are claiming to be Palestinian, are on what they consider stolen Native American land.

00:53:32.000 They are lying about everything.

00:53:36.000 I was tweeting about that because my ancestors were in Brooklyn for over 100 years and I'm like, are you serious?

00:53:40.000 I just think it's dangerous to make this a one-sided issue because there was a report, I think yesterday, a pro-Israel protester was just arrested in Shokie, Illinois after chasing protesters and pulling out his firearm and firing shots toward the crowd at a pro-Palestine rally.

00:53:54.000 So to make this situation and demonize one side, even though...

00:53:59.000 Like I said at the beginning of the show, Hamas is... I condemn them. 0.99

00:54:02.000 I hate Hamas. 1.00

00:54:03.000 I hate terrorists. 0.96

00:54:05.000 But to make this a one-sided issue in our country, domestically, it's not.

00:54:09.000 Because clearly we have this story here.

00:54:11.000 What?

00:54:12.000 It was a guy who did a bad thing?

00:54:15.000 The problem is, this is not just limited to just one guy.

00:54:18.000 This is an ideology that many people have.

00:54:20.000 Many people are just fundamentally against Palestinians, and Palestinians are against, you know, their oppressors, whatever they deem oppressing.

00:54:28.000 And so it just cannot be limited to one issue.

00:54:30.000 Israel is not innocent in all of this either. 0.99

00:54:34.000 There are corrupt powers that be in Israel.

00:54:37.000 And those people, I think, instigate conflict.

00:54:40.000 I think they provocate.

00:54:42.000 And I'm not saying this is on Israelis' hands or anything like that, but I'm saying that Israel's not innocent in all of this. 0.99

00:54:50.000 That's coming from a Jew. 1.00

00:54:52.000 I don't think Israel's innocent. 1.00

00:54:53.000 I just think that Hamas didn't have to choose to go in there and kill a bunch of people.

00:54:57.000 Well, Israel didn't have to choose to kill thousands and thousands of Palestinians over the course of the last decade, too.

00:55:02.000 Twenty times more than Israelis, but they did. 1.00

00:55:05.000 Why?

00:55:07.000 I don't know.

00:55:08.000 I couldn't tell you. Well, there you go. So it's a little point more though. So any times more like what's the actual

00:55:13.000 number 20 times?

00:55:14.000 More it's one number if there's one person that's 20 people.

00:55:16.000 What's the number?

00:55:16.000 So here's here's here's the issue That's all and that's nebulous and immaterial to where I am

00:55:22.000 and what I'm what I'm talking about and I and it doesn't mean anything

00:55:25.000 Okay, if you said in 2014 during protective edge Hamas did acts and Israel did why we could have that 0.94

00:55:31.000 conversation But once again, when it comes to Protective Edge, it is Hamas attacks Israel because they believe they own it all. 0.69

00:55:39.000 It's all theirs. 0.60

00:55:40.000 They want it all.

00:55:41.000 And whatever reason overlaps with the American left, we even saw what was the current leader of Hamas saying that he's like George Floyd?

00:55:48.000 Yes. 0.97

00:55:48.000 And they're the racist. 0.97

00:55:49.000 Yeah, that was from a couple years ago.

00:55:51.000 But yeah, a couple years ago.

00:55:52.000 Yeah.

00:55:53.000 So here's and they've been planning this attack for two years.

00:55:55.000 Here's the way I see it.

00:55:56.000 Imagine you're in a mall, and you hear gunshots going off.

00:56:01.000 You run into an area, and there are two guys with guns, and they're both pointing at each other.

00:56:08.000 We want them to stop.

00:56:10.000 However, one guy started shooting.

00:56:13.000 The other guy was trying to stop the shooter.

00:56:17.000 What do you do?

00:56:19.000 So, what's happening is there are a lot of people who are ignorant to what's going on, who will start... Tell me what happened.

00:56:25.000 And then the one guy says, you know, three years ago, this guy.

00:56:28.000 And the other guy goes, five years ago, this guy.

00:56:30.000 Well, six years ago, this guy.

00:56:32.000 Who started shooting right now in the mall?

00:56:35.000 Him.

00:56:35.000 And who are you?

00:56:36.000 I'm trying to stop him.

00:56:38.000 Okay, what happens if you stop the wrong guy? 0.98

00:56:41.000 The crazy guy starts shooting again and kills a bunch more civilians.

00:56:44.000 It is a challenge to figure out who is right and wrong in circumstances like this.

00:56:48.000 But the idea now...

00:56:50.000 That Hamas attacks Israel, and therefore, like, we're gonna have this historical debate is pointless to me.

00:56:58.000 We can have a debate about American financing for foreign governments and all that stuff, and I'm just like, this is a really good reason we shouldn't be involved in a foreign conflict.

00:57:05.000 Agreed.

00:57:05.000 100%.

00:57:06.000 Because this is what you get.

00:57:08.000 The problem is it's bleeding out all across the world, and for some reason, it escapes me, people are so ideologically Just impassioned by Israel. 0.87

00:57:22.000 It is the craziest thing in the world. 0.98

00:57:24.000 I despise it more than anything. 0.65

00:57:27.000 This fervor, this zealotry.

00:57:29.000 Don't care if you're for or against Israel.

00:57:31.000 If you've got a rational argument in favor of Israel defending itself, totally hear you.

00:57:35.000 If you've got a rational argument about 1947, was it 1967 or 68 or whatever?

00:57:37.000 Which one?

00:57:38.000 There was a 67 and that was the Six Day War and then in 73 was the Yom Kippur War.

00:57:42.000 And that's the Six Day War, and then in 73 was the Yom Kippur War.

00:57:46.000 I have almost never had, I would say 2% of the conversations that have ever arisen about

00:57:51.000 Israel have been like historically accurate calm conversations.

00:57:56.000 There is always some, like, look, dude, like you're saying, like, Israel's committing war crimes and doing all this stuff, and I'm just like, that doesn't mean anything.

00:58:04.000 It's completely meaningless.

00:58:06.000 Hamas committed war crimes.

00:58:07.000 Oh, Hamas committed war crimes, how could you be mad at Israel?

00:58:09.000 Like, it's just mud being thrown back and forth.

00:58:12.000 Yeah, but the problem is Israel's a formalized government and Palestine's not.

00:58:16.000 Why is that a problem?

00:58:18.000 Because Israel is an ally, and when those are American munitions being thrown over the borders and onto Palestinian innocent people, that implicates us in some of that guilt. 0.82

00:58:29.000 It's collateral damage.

00:58:30.000 It's bad.

00:58:30.000 I don't look at innocent children dying and call that collateral damage.

00:58:35.000 That's the definition.

00:58:36.000 Collateral damage is in military operation when civilians die.

00:58:39.000 I know, but I don't just shrug it off is what I'm saying.

00:58:41.000 We're not trying to shrug it off.

00:58:42.000 I'm saying that there needs to be peace.

00:58:45.000 Like she said, we should have everybody from every party come to the table now.

00:58:48.000 I think that was gonna happen.

00:58:49.000 But I just feel that it's so naive.

00:58:55.000 To look at what just happened and think the answer is as simple as a ceasefire or peace.

00:58:58.000 It's just never gonna happen.

00:58:59.000 The answer is obviously British Entertainment Television.

00:59:02.000 I'll say it once, I'll say it again.

00:59:04.000 Well, like you said, America should not be involved.

00:59:06.000 That's what we have to say first.

00:59:07.000 We have to put America first, and America shouldn't be in the Middle East, and America shouldn't be in Europe. 0.75

00:59:12.000 We shouldn't be fighting anyone's war for them, and we should be worrying about the problems here.

00:59:17.000 Like, again, I say our young men are killing themselves at rates we've never seen before.

00:59:20.000 Veterans.

00:59:21.000 And we have our politicians who are prioritizing every other issue above the moon.

00:59:26.000 But these people that are killing themselves here at home.

00:59:29.000 And I think peace is definitely achievable because when Donald Trump was in office, there was world peace.

00:59:34.000 There was no war going on.

00:59:35.000 I think people saw a weak point in Biden's presidency and they said, well, we're going to strike and we're going to create a conflict and we're going to instigate World War III.

00:59:44.000 I mean, even this video of Biden sort of muttering into the microphone, I have to go to the Situation Room.

00:59:49.000 This is not the representation of our country I would like.

00:59:53.000 And I think it is apparent to everyone that there are a lot of forces in the world that

00:59:58.000 are now testing the strength of American leadership, which I hate to say it as much as I love America.

01:00:02.000 The Joe Biden administration is not presenting a strong front to to the nations or to to

01:00:08.000 the international community.

01:00:10.000 So I you know, we saw Ukraine happen.

01:00:12.000 We're seeing things happen in the Middle East.

01:00:14.000 I will not be surprised.

01:00:15.000 I personally feel like we're counting down until an invasion of Taiwan.

01:00:19.000 It seems like just explosions happening all over the place.

01:00:23.000 And the question is, at what point do we say we have to put our own domestic priorities

01:00:28.000 before everything else, even when we have historic ties or relationships diplomatically?

01:00:33.000 I do agree with you Tim about what you said about we shouldn't be focusing on the sins of the father and the grandparent that shouldn't be the topic of today so I do agree with you on that.

01:00:41.000 It's impossible.

01:00:42.000 Yeah I agree.

01:00:44.000 I think the challenge for me is like When you learn about how evil really exists, and I wonder when it happens for the average person, and I wonder if so many people in the United States, especially like these people surrounding these vehicles, many of these leftists,

01:00:59.000 Perhaps they can't see the forests for the trees.

01:01:02.000 Perhaps, you know, they are the horde of evil.

01:01:05.000 And because they can't see it, or they're not victims of it, they can't understand.

01:01:09.000 The people here?

01:01:10.000 Like, so this video of these people in the mob, right? 0.99

01:01:13.000 They're evil people. 0.63

01:01:13.000 Yeah. 0.63

01:01:14.000 But this is the banality of evil.

01:01:15.000 This is not malicious.

01:01:16.000 These people aren't individually deciding to take actions, but they're part of a horde, which is victimizing innocent people.

01:01:23.000 Sure, I agree.

01:01:24.000 They've not experienced the brunt force on the other side of this, so they don't truly get it.

01:01:28.000 Yep.

01:01:29.000 I wonder if there's a point in people's lives where they experience evil and then start to realize.

01:01:34.000 For me!

01:01:35.000 When I'm younger, I'm like, oh, good and evil are subjective.

01:01:38.000 Everyone thinks they're doing the right thing.

01:01:41.000 And then I got older and actually had some experience.

01:01:42.000 I'm like, oh, wow, evil people certainly exist.

01:01:44.000 Oh, yeah.

01:01:45.000 Pure evil.

01:01:45.000 No question.

01:01:46.000 I mean, this is a lot of them.

01:01:48.000 Not to like jump stories, but when you this off-duty pilot who theoretically tried to turn off the engine of a plane in air today, I mean, they're still investigating what happened there.

01:01:59.000 But what did happen there?

01:02:01.000 Well, we're going to get to this in a little bit.

01:02:03.000 I mean, I don't want to jump stories.

01:02:04.000 Oh, sorry.

01:02:04.000 I won't jump stories.

01:02:05.000 But I'm just saying, like, when you are trying to unpack something that's happened, and when you see any kind of incident from the outside, you have to ask yourself, is this person evil?

01:02:16.000 Did they just want to see the world burn?

01:02:18.000 Or, you know, a lot of times we hear it now where it's like, oh, there's a mental health issue.

01:02:21.000 Maybe they're having a psychotic break.

01:02:23.000 Who knows?

01:02:24.000 We don't know what plays into someone else's motivations.

01:02:26.000 On the other hand, Consequences of their actions remain the same no matter what their motivation was. 0.89

01:02:32.000 Hamas is evil.

01:02:34.000 Israel is a spattering mix of government institutions, corrupt wealthy individuals, good civilians who are trying to live peacefully. 0.85

01:02:44.000 Palestine, Gaza specifically, seems to be 50-50 between Hamas and people who want to be left alone, which creates a very pressing challenge.

01:02:52.000 The issue I see here is you can't negotiate with evil.

01:02:56.000 No, no, no, I mean like you can try to negotiate with evil. 0.89

01:02:58.000 You can desperately beg evil for peace and then they'll agree with you and then turn around and put the knife in your back.

01:03:03.000 Right, like those people on Golden Balls.

01:03:06.000 No joke, that's why I brought it up. 0.56

01:03:08.000 It's a silly show, but I'm watching this and I'm just like...

01:03:13.000 Evil people will stare you in the eye and they will try to steal everything from you and they will cheer for themselves as they destroy you.

01:03:21.000 And I think this is one of the issues that, without acknowledging, if you can't acknowledge that some people just are evil, then you can't acknowledge that there are people who will not, no matter how hard you want them to, understand, relate to, or try to live by a moral code that you or your community share, right?

01:03:34.000 An evil person has no, uh, And the reason to feel bad about anything is because their motivations are completely contrary to yours if you're a good person.

01:03:43.000 And I think that's really hard to wrap your head around.

01:03:46.000 Like, can evil forces exist in the world and can you potentially change them?

01:03:51.000 And I just don't think that's true.

01:03:52.000 And this is, I'm not trying to comment geopolitically now, I'm just talking philosophically.

01:03:55.000 Yeah.

01:03:55.000 Evil exists no matter what.

01:03:57.000 How, what you do to contain it and if someone can be converted from evil is a really serious question.

01:04:02.000 Well, that's why we have histories of moral philosophy.

01:04:05.000 But people, I think on average, I'm willing to bet most people don't experience abject evil.

01:04:11.000 And I think the more you're exposed to various ideologies, various... the more people you meet, it increases the likelihood you meet people who are truly evil.

01:04:23.000 There's a lot of them.

01:04:24.000 Yeah.

01:04:24.000 But I don't think it's the majority of humans, but there's a lot of them.

01:04:27.000 I have experienced things that I would just say like, you know, somewhat private, personal stuff.

01:04:34.000 I did not believe such evil could exist.

01:04:36.000 And I just don't understand how people could be so evil.

01:04:39.000 But oh, you better believe it.

01:04:41.000 We were swatted 15 times in the span of a year.

01:04:45.000 And we have very, very high confidence we know who it was.

01:04:48.000 The police won't do anything about it.

01:04:49.000 They don't care about you.

01:04:51.000 Multiple law enforcement agencies won't do anything about it.

01:04:53.000 We've reported it.

01:04:53.000 We've given them evidence.

01:04:54.000 They don't care.

01:04:55.000 The people who did it, who we assume we know did it, and the people who are aiding those who did it, we don't know 100% who did.

01:05:02.000 We do know who is aiding them, who is providing them with intel and allowing them to do it.

01:05:07.000 And I just could not believe that people I've known and trusted for decades would, for no reason, literally none, smile on their face every day, and then behind the scenes, laugh and smirk as they tried to burn everything down and kill people.

01:05:23.000 It's shocking when that happens, when you trust someone and then they just turn on you and try to destroy your life.

01:05:28.000 But just to ask people to understand this.

01:05:31.000 Imagine someone you've known literally your whole life.

01:05:33.000 They've been to your house for dinner dozens, hundreds of times.

01:05:36.000 You've gone to theme parks and you vacationed with them and their family.

01:05:40.000 And then one day you find out they were pouring Drano in your cereal trying to kill you.

01:05:44.000 You just be like...

01:05:45.000 But why?

01:05:47.000 It's hard to get over something like that.

01:05:48.000 And they're laughing when you find out, laughing, saying, I almost got it, oh man.

01:05:51.000 And you're like, evil people exist?

01:05:53.000 Do you know that story about one of the most infamous female poisoners? 0.88

01:05:57.000 I'll look up her name in a second.

01:05:59.000 But she was based in Alabama, I believe, and she just poisoned, she had five daughters, poisoned them all, poisoned her husband, poisoned the next guy. 1.00

01:06:07.000 She only got caught because She married this, like, young guy and he was at a VA hospital and when she would glee for a while, for like a couple weeks, he would get better and then she would be there and he would get worse.

01:06:16.000 And it got caught.

01:06:16.000 Right.

01:06:17.000 And when they asked her, like, why would you do this, especially to your own children, to your mother, like, it was a crazy amount.

01:06:23.000 This went on for, like, I think several decades.

01:06:26.000 She just said, I don't know.

01:06:27.000 There's something wrong with me.

01:06:27.000 I don't know why I did it.

01:06:28.000 She had no explanation for her actions that she did several different ways over the course of several decades.

01:06:34.000 That's crazy.

01:06:36.000 How do you justify that?

01:06:36.000 How do you explain something like that?

01:06:38.000 When you look at, like, you know, we're showing this video of this leftist attacking this vehicle.

01:06:44.000 These people are cheering and dancing as they attack innocent people.

01:06:50.000 We saw this at the George Floyd riots.

01:06:52.000 It is mindless evil.

01:06:55.000 How do you negotiate for peace with people who are laughing at causing suffering?

01:06:58.000 You have to show them Christ.

01:07:00.000 That's the only way. 1.00

01:07:01.000 I mean, anyone who thinks they're going to find a peaceful lifestyle and have a great eternity after and not have Christ at the center of their life here on earth are just stupid. 0.99

01:07:11.000 And I think you're going to see evil play out all over the world until people realize that and put Christ first. 0.98

01:07:17.000 But I will tell you, again, this whole conflict goes back to putting America first. 0.54

01:07:22.000 We need to stay out of it.

01:07:23.000 We don't need to get involved in another years-long war.

01:07:26.000 I'll tell you one thing.

01:07:26.000 Evil exists.

01:07:27.000 Being a young guy on the political scene, I lived in D.C.

01:07:30.000 for four years, or four months, sorry, and I can tell you, I've never seen evil like I have in D.C.

01:07:36.000 Oh, man!

01:07:37.000 Coming across folks... It's the hellmouth!

01:07:40.000 Coming across older men saying things to me and attempting to blackmail and extort me for things that they wanted in exchange, I'm telling you unthinkable things.

01:07:40.000 Yeah.

01:07:52.000 And I couldn't thank anyone else for my protection other than Christ.

01:07:56.000 If it wasn't for Him and me to be able to pray and rely on Him, I wouldn't have made it through living there for only four months.

01:08:03.000 So I can't imagine the folks that are entrenched in that mess every day.

01:08:06.000 DC concentrates a lot of evil.

01:08:08.000 And one Myers-Briggs personality type.

01:08:11.000 It's like INTJ.

01:08:12.000 It's whatever Hillary Clinton is. 1.00

01:08:14.000 There's a huge proportion of them in D.C.

01:08:17.000 And also that personality type doesn't like to share space with the same personality type.

01:08:21.000 So, sorry D.C.

01:08:23.000 You're meant to split apart.

01:08:26.000 I don't know, I feel bad for like, there's like the dude and his wife on a farm and they're just like, they got a handful of cows and pigs and sheeps and goats and they're like, we got enough for our family and our friends, just leave us alone.

01:08:36.000 And then you've got people who are just laughing and smiling, hoping to burn it down for no reason.

01:08:40.000 Well, included in those people trying to laugh and burn it down for no reason is the Biden administration.

01:08:44.000 You remember the agriculture secretary intentionally started giving out loans specifically to minority groups, like farmer minority, farmers who were from a minority group.

01:08:56.000 And it turned out that that was illegal.

01:08:59.000 So some farmers took him to court over that.

01:09:01.000 And the judge was like, you can't fix previous racism with new racism.

01:09:05.000 That's not how it works.

01:09:07.000 That's not effective.

01:09:08.000 And so they knocked that thing out.

01:09:10.000 But then Biden was mad about it.

01:09:11.000 And it was like, oh, based on your skin color, you should get more money first. 1.00

01:09:16.000 It was total trash. 1.00

01:09:17.000 Yeah, I do think Joe Biden is racist. 1.00

01:09:19.000 You're right, Libby. 0.98

01:09:20.000 I think Joe Biden is racist as well.

01:09:22.000 I think he's, yeah. 0.97

01:09:23.000 He would want his kids to go to those jungle schools or whatever the hell he was talking about. 1.00

01:09:27.000 With corn pop.

01:09:28.000 Yeah, with corn pop. 0.94

01:09:29.000 Feel his hair shine in the... Oh, that is so disgusting. 0.98

01:09:32.000 That's the most disgusting thing. 0.81

01:09:34.000 I hadn't seen the whole thing about that until recently.

01:09:37.000 And I was like, he was talking about children stroking his leg hair? 0.95

01:09:41.000 What kind of pervert? 0.99

01:09:42.000 What kind of horrible pervert? 0.98

01:09:45.000 The female poisoner I was referencing before was Ronnabel Martin, I believe. 0.98

01:09:49.000 Interesting.

01:09:52.000 Lots of people down and only I think her fourth husband survived.

01:09:55.000 We're going to jump to this story from MSN.com, rehosted from Daily Express.

01:10:01.000 Vladimir Putin suffers cardiac arrest, sparking massive alarm in Kremlin inner circle.

01:10:06.000 And a shout out to Timothy Whitaker in the super chat who asked, I had not seen this story.

01:10:10.000 It's from 16 hours ago.

01:10:11.000 Totally missed this one.

01:10:12.000 But, uh, I did just check it real quick, and there are a ton of outlets that are covering this, saying, Vladimir Putin is alleged to have suffered a cardiac arrest in his private Moscow apartment on Sunday evening.

01:10:21.000 A telegram channel believed to be run by a former Kremlin insider reported that incident, saying the Russian leader was found by guards on the floor of the bedroom, lying on the floor, rolling his eyes.

01:10:31.000 Doctors were reportedly called in immediately, and they later diagnosed the 71-year-old having suffered a cardiac arrest.

01:10:36.000 It's different from a heart attack.

01:10:38.000 Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops.

01:10:40.000 Something like this was reported about Putin a couple months ago, wasn't it?

01:10:43.000 He's been having a lot of medical issues.

01:10:45.000 That's horrible to hear.

01:10:46.000 Well, I mean, the scary thing is, what happens to Russia without Putin?

01:10:53.000 He's not a good dude!

01:10:54.000 Well, you know what, they might just start fighting among themselves, and then lose all interest in Ukraine, and then we could just be like, okay, see ya!

01:11:01.000 Yeah, this might prevent World War III.

01:11:03.000 That would be helpful.

01:11:03.000 It's kind of a horrifying thing to think, like, if this man dies, World War III is averted.

01:11:07.000 Well, yeah, then Russian Civil War in 3 or 4.

01:11:10.000 They do that a lot.

01:11:11.000 Yeah, the thing is, whoever takes over for Russia, and we would think they might fight amongst themselves, but we don't actually know if there's not a clear successor to his throne.

01:11:19.000 Could be even worse.

01:11:21.000 It's a proxy war.

01:11:22.000 They have Prigozhin out of the way. 1.00

01:11:24.000 Remember the...

01:11:25.000 So he's out of the way, and so a bunch of, like, because he would be much tougher on Ukraine than... But the next guy might be, too.

01:11:32.000 Right, I agree.

01:11:33.000 But didn't they get rid of most of those guys in that plane crash?

01:11:35.000 How do you know, though?

01:11:36.000 I don't know anything!

01:11:38.000 I don't know anything, which is why we didn't cover this story at Postmillennial.

01:11:40.000 I just couldn't tell.

01:11:41.000 Yeah, it's hard.

01:11:43.000 Uh, and also when you see stuff like this, it's hard for me not to be like, when is the Kremlin statement saying, like, somebody slipped employees in his company?

01:11:49.000 Who even knows?

01:11:49.000 But yeah, I was interested in this story too, and I couldn't track down, like, I find it very difficult to cover overseas stuff because I really, I really only know just the one language.

01:12:00.000 Well, especially with China and Russia, I think if anything, I was actually was concerned about this as well, if there's power vacuum, this is before I even knew that he had this heart attack, I talked with a friend of mine, If there is a power vacuum in Russia, what's to say that China isn't going to go, you know, knocking on Russia's door?

01:12:13.000 I don't know.

01:12:13.000 I'm just, you know, it's just a whole other thing I'm throwing out there, but there's definitely animosity between them.

01:12:18.000 Totally random, crazy thought that you probably start thinking about when you get older.

01:12:22.000 It's like, you could be taking a shower in the morning and like, let's say your wife or your husband or whatever is like, all right, I'm going to go, you know, walk the dog or whatever.

01:12:30.000 And then you slip and hit your head and you're dead.

01:12:32.000 That's why you should get married, because they'll come back after they walk the dog and be like, the shower is still running and they'll check on you. 1.00

01:12:37.000 And that's the thing.

01:12:38.000 Unless they hate you.

01:12:39.000 There are a lot of stories about elderly people who will just go missing.

01:12:43.000 And then a week later, people are just like, let's go check up.

01:12:46.000 They've been missing for a week.

01:12:47.000 And they're like, oh, they slept in the bathroom and died.

01:12:49.000 Yeah.

01:12:50.000 Like you could just like Putin.

01:12:52.000 So the report is like his guards heard a thump and then ran up and found him.

01:12:56.000 I don't know if he actually had a heart attack, right?

01:12:57.000 They're saying unconfirmed reports, but a bunch of outlets are carrying this rumor.

01:13:01.000 And just imagine, like, for the average person who has a heart attack, there is no guard waiting downstairs to hear the thump.

01:13:07.000 That's why they invented the button thing. 0.63

01:13:09.000 Although if you have a heart attack and you're unconscious, you can't press your life alert button.

01:13:12.000 Although there's, I think, one that, like, if you fall hard enough, it'll... Right, there's, like, there's, like, necklaces and stuff.

01:13:18.000 Oh, the iPhone does that.

01:13:19.000 Yeah.

01:13:20.000 That's interesting.

01:13:21.000 What is it like if you get into a car accident, it instantly calls 911 or whatever?

01:13:24.000 Oh, yeah, yeah.

01:13:25.000 That means it knows you got into a car accident.

01:13:27.000 Technology's so crazy.

01:13:28.000 Well, there's one story where a dude dropped the phone and the phone thought it was a car accident, so it called the police and they found it or something.

01:13:33.000 Oh, wow.

01:13:33.000 Like fell off his bike or something like that.

01:13:35.000 I remember it was just a couple years ago.

01:13:37.000 My mom said, honey, I'm suddenly afraid of falling down.

01:13:41.000 That must be a crazy feeling.

01:13:43.000 And she's in her mid-70s.

01:13:45.000 She's extremely active.

01:13:46.000 She just got back from a month traveling around.

01:13:49.000 Italy, right?

01:13:49.000 Italy and Ireland and wherever she was.

01:13:53.000 She's just living her best ex-pat life.

01:13:54.000 Yeah, she just does whatever she wants. 1.00

01:13:56.000 But she's still a little bit afraid of falling down.

01:13:59.000 Yeah?

01:14:00.000 Yeah.

01:14:01.000 I just kind of hope that when I'm old I'm like fat and so when I fall down it doesn't- There's some cushioning?

01:14:05.000 Nothing gets broken.

01:14:06.000 That is the argument for obesity right now.

01:14:09.000 Although your bones get brittle, you can't walk around, you get the veins, you have a heart issue.

01:14:13.000 Oh, that seems bad too.

01:14:14.000 The diabetes, you know.

01:14:15.000 No, the good news is if you're fat you won't get old.

01:14:17.000 Oh, if you're fat, you won't get old!

01:14:18.000 So that's a win? 0.67

01:14:19.000 Wow, that's how you live!

01:14:20.000 You stay young forever! 0.60

01:14:21.000 Live fat, die young, you know what I'm saying?

01:14:23.000 I'll just stop working out altogether.

01:14:26.000 Wow!

01:14:27.000 I'm also equally concerned that putting on a heart attack could lead to World War III.

01:14:30.000 Yeah, that's what I think.

01:14:31.000 Really, what's the alternate scenario?

01:14:32.000 What do you think?

01:14:33.000 That without Putin stabilizing the region, it results in power struggles, and then it leads to conflict outside of Russia, which drags other people in.

01:14:45.000 Putin may be a stabilizing force, stopping certain elements of the Russian military from engaging in certain actions.

01:14:51.000 Right.

01:14:52.000 Yeah, look at Gaddafi after he went into Libya.

01:14:54.000 Oh, yeah.

01:14:54.000 He collapsed.

01:14:56.000 Yeah.

01:14:56.000 But I mean, worse than that, let's say like, Putin's heart attack and dies, then a military leader says, I'm the next in command, so I'm gonna do this thing, fighting erupts inside Russia, but then this guy says, send in, nuke, you know, Kiev or whatever.

01:15:10.000 Something crazy.

01:15:11.000 Yeah.

01:15:12.000 Yeah, Putin's been a tough force for Russia for a long time, and I don't think that this war is just a simple land dispute.

01:15:19.000 I think it's definitely a proxy war to test the endurance of Russia, you know, kind of caused by American influence.

01:15:27.000 But yeah, I would rather Putin not die.

01:15:30.000 I think he's protected a lot of the Christian community in Russia, and you've seen Zelensky shut down Orthodox churches in Ukraine.

01:15:39.000 And I'm not saying They were Russian Orthodox, right?

01:15:42.000 The Russian Orthodox churches?

01:15:43.000 Right, yeah.

01:15:44.000 Interesting, yeah.

01:15:45.000 And so, I don't know, I do think it would bring in World War III if he died.

01:15:51.000 Yeah, I mean... I mean, the question at this point is, there are so many different scenarios to get us into World War III.

01:15:56.000 Are there any scenarios to keep us out, to keep it from happening?

01:15:59.000 Put America first, stay away from everyone else. 0.86

01:16:02.000 But that would still drag us in.

01:16:03.000 Multiple arguments have been made for why that would result in a world war.

01:16:05.000 Yeah, the first two other world wars started when America stayed out.

01:16:08.000 So I don't know if that'll be anything.

01:16:09.000 Ben Shapiro's argument is that if Iran or other countries stage a ground invasion of

01:16:15.000 Israel or begin airstrikes, Israel will respond with nuclear weapons, which will create regional 0.97

01:16:20.000 conflict which bleeds out into hemisphere, whatever.

01:16:24.000 I don't think it'll come to that point unless Israel provokes it. 1.00

01:16:26.000 but to get involved. Well Mark Levin was on Fox News the other day and he was

01:16:29.000 just going like eviscerating the host saying well Israel's surrounded and they

01:16:34.000 may have to resort to you know nuclear weapons just infuriated and I don't

01:16:41.000 think it'll come to that point I don't think it'll come to that point unless

01:16:44.000 Israel provokes it I just don't see that happening but what I will say is even if 1.00

01:16:49.000 it does you know bleed out into the international community I still think

01:16:54.000 America should stay out of it. 0.92

01:16:55.000 I think we're a strong enough entity to keep to ourselves.

01:16:58.000 What about NATO?

01:16:59.000 I think we should pull out of NATO.

01:17:02.000 You don't think we should defend our allies?

01:17:03.000 I think we should pull out of NATO.

01:17:04.000 So we should have no friends at all in the world?

01:17:07.000 I think our friends should be ourselves and we should put America first because we haven't done that in decades.

01:17:12.000 We're going to be like that girl in New York who marries herself. 0.99

01:17:16.000 I'm an isolationist.

01:17:20.000 She's so happy!

01:17:21.000 She has no children, she has no man, she has a very nice dress, and she is happy.

01:17:26.000 That girl probably locks her apartment door, which is a thing I think America should do. 1.00

01:17:30.000 I think we should completely talk about the border.

01:17:32.000 And when she falls down in the shower, There is nobody there to help her.

01:17:36.000 I mean, we have a bunch of states that are the size of European countries.

01:17:40.000 I can't say what our interventionist strategy should be.

01:17:42.000 I generally feel like before we delve in further to any international skirmish, we should have a stronger border policy and then we can talk about it.

01:17:52.000 It's hard to have these conversations knowing that we are like, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:17:55.000 You're bad and we want to support you and also come across our border anytime.

01:17:59.000 No questions asked.

01:18:00.000 Also, maybe from Canada if you fly there and hop up.

01:18:03.000 Like, this is not good.

01:18:04.000 We need a strong national defense.

01:18:06.000 Trump says it.

01:18:06.000 This is coming straight from Trump's mouth.

01:18:08.000 We have to put America first.

01:18:10.000 That's not a controversial thing to say.

01:18:12.000 We've got so many problems that are crippling us and leaving us basically paralyzed in the water.

01:18:18.000 And our kids are killing themselves because they have no purpose, they're gender dysphoric, and we're focusing on a bunch of regional skirmishes thousands of miles halfway around the world. 0.99

01:18:28.000 Let's focus on putting America first.

01:18:30.000 Why is that so controversial?

01:18:31.000 I agree, but being isolationist and saying we're going to totally isolate ourselves is also kind of a death knell, because we don't have enough manufacturing to keep this country going.

01:18:39.000 We have so many things that are also needed.

01:18:41.000 Our resources are not in the same level as other countries.

01:18:43.000 We have natural gas and we have oil we should be drilling.

01:18:45.000 I'm sure you agree with that as well.

01:18:48.000 But I still think that like, okay, if you want to do that, we'll give ourselves like a 20 year timeline.

01:18:53.000 Because we can't just do that tomorrow or we're screwed.

01:18:56.000 Yeah, well, I think like you said, we should be an autonomous country.

01:19:00.000 Maybe we should build a time machine and go back and put the factories back in America. 0.98

01:19:04.000 I mean, there's a lot of stuff we should have done.

01:19:06.000 We've been on a bad path for a long time.

01:19:07.000 I don't think that we should give up and say like, well, we've already been engaged, we don't have these things like that.

01:19:13.000 But I acknowledge, I think you're totally right.

01:19:15.000 We aren't necessarily in a position to say, well, we're just going to do absolutely nothing.

01:19:19.000 I do think that before everything else we need to think about, especially if it's an international war and we know that the Biden administration is leaked.

01:19:27.000 The thing is, Americans are not used to conflict being fought on American soil.

01:19:31.000 So I think it's really important that we secure the border, right?

01:19:34.000 Oh, it's been 7 million people since the Biden administration took office, and in 2020, it was less than half a million.

01:19:42.000 Yes, and the majority of them are fighting AIDS men.

01:19:44.000 It's 480,000, no, 400, yeah, 480,000 in 2020, I'm pretty sure, and it's been 7 million since 2021.

01:19:54.000 So good.

01:19:54.000 I'm glad that we're entering international skirmishes.

01:19:56.000 This is a great idea.

01:19:57.000 Well they're trying to displace the nation's image bearers and I think that's, you've seen that just the way that they demonize white people, white Christians especially, white Christian men moreover especially.

01:20:08.000 They're trying to do that and they're, like you said, they're sending seven million people in.

01:20:12.000 That's a huge fraction of our population and I don't think we should stand idly by.

01:20:16.000 We need a And they're not done.

01:20:17.000 They're flying people in from Venezuela.

01:20:19.000 They're like, oh, these Venezuelans, they should get all of the things, and New Yorkers should get nothing. 1.00

01:20:24.000 We'll just send everybody to the Roosevelt Hotel.

01:20:26.000 We've got to reinforce our border.

01:20:27.000 We've got to have a stronger national defense.

01:20:29.000 Otherwise, we're going to be the laughing stock in the next 10 years.

01:20:31.000 I agree.

01:20:32.000 Next 10 years?

01:20:33.000 I know, right?

01:20:33.000 I think we're already there.

01:20:34.000 It's like right now.

01:20:36.000 Yeah, billions.

01:20:37.000 It's why I am so interested to see an argument from the Democrats to keep Joe Biden in office, right?

01:20:42.000 If we are on the brink of all these things and we have so many issues domestically and then we have our slurring President Joe Biden.

01:20:49.000 What do you call it with the dementia shuffle?

01:20:51.000 Yeah, the Dementia Shuffle is a real term.

01:20:52.000 I mean, this is not the guy that I want at the forefront, and I actually think Democrats, they didn't like him before.

01:20:59.000 How could you be like, yes, I feel confident and safe when looking at President Joe Biden?

01:21:03.000 There's no way!

01:21:05.000 There's a video going around of a guy, presumably in the army, wearing his, like, uniform, and he's singing some song, and then it flashes, and he's a drag queen.

01:21:12.000 And it's like, there's more than one of this, but I'm like, that should be immediate dishonorable discharge.

01:21:18.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:21:19.000 I think so too.

01:21:20.000 I've seen that video.

01:21:21.000 I don't like it.

01:21:21.000 There's a couple of them, but there's one right now.

01:21:24.000 And the reason I say this, or I would even accept administrative discharge, because our enemies look at our culture, our country, to determine whether or not they think we are strong or weak.

01:21:39.000 And if we appear weak, we will be attacked even if we are strong.

01:21:42.000 There's not much weaker than a fella in a dress. 0.99

01:21:45.000 They let a master sergeant wear bondage gear in his army photo.

01:21:49.000 It's not about any and it is about looking looking weak internationally and putting.

01:21:58.000 Putting our other men and women at risk.

01:22:02.000 The message we should be giving off is that, like that Russian military commercial where the guy's like shaved head, jumps out of a plane, lands in the ice, he's got a gun.

01:22:11.000 We want to terrify.

01:22:13.000 That's why people wear skull masks.

01:22:15.000 They want to be terrifying and invoke death.

01:22:17.000 Because then you minimize the likelihood of conflict, the more you intimidate and people, but if what we are seeing Yeah.

01:22:17.000 Right.

01:22:26.000 in our culture in the army, in the armed forces, is a bunch of effeminate men twerking

01:22:32.000 and trying to be like women, then our enemies are gonna be like, 1.00

01:22:36.000 if there ever was a time to destroy America, it's now.

01:22:39.000 Yeah. Yeah.

01:22:40.000 If there's ever a time to compare America to the great Satan, it's right now.

01:22:43.000 Just weakness. Yeah.

01:22:45.000 You can call it whatever you want, say it or otherwise.

01:22:47.000 The question is, is this guy a, you know, you remember the mountain from Game of Thrones?

01:22:47.000 Morality's not the question.

01:22:53.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:22:54.000 He just had a second baby, just so everyone knows.

01:22:54.000 Is it the mountain?

01:22:56.000 This guy, how tall was he, like 6'7"?

01:22:57.000 100 feet tall.

01:22:58.000 6'8", like he's 307'1"?

01:22:58.000 I don't know, I'll look it up.

01:23:03.000 Like 300-something pounds of muscle?

01:23:03.000 But how much did he weigh?

01:23:05.000 It's crazy.

01:23:06.000 It all stems from our nation's breakdown and really alienation from Christ and Christianity, because that's what our nation was supposed to have been rooted in. 0.97

01:23:15.000 And you had a bunch of people come in and tear everything down, and it's unfortunately eroded into our military.

01:23:21.000 It's Christian's fault. 1.00

01:23:23.000 Yeah, no, I agree with you 100%.

01:23:25.000 Passivists.

01:23:26.000 Christian, who was saying this?

01:23:28.000 It was Patrick by David.

01:23:30.000 He's 6'9", he's 400 pounds.

01:23:31.000 Four hundred!

01:23:33.000 Which seems crazy.

01:23:34.000 He did just have a second baby.

01:23:35.000 That's why he's on the wall.

01:23:36.000 Patrick, but David brought this up.

01:23:37.000 It's the tolerant Christians who kept allowing these evil people to keep doing more and more and more and just sat back and let it happen. 0.94

01:23:44.000 Yeah, I agree.

01:23:45.000 It's like the whole like the adage of like the Republicans being the brakes on the Democrat Party, which is just the truth.

01:23:50.000 It's just Christian liberalism allowing people to do what they want and saying, oh, well, turn to the cheek, turn to the cheek, turn to the cheek.

01:23:55.000 If you do that too much, eventually, you know.

01:23:58.000 I love that, you know, Seamus, I think Seamus has mentioned it where it's like The left will say, but as a Christian, you should be doing this.

01:24:04.000 And then his response is, as someone who hates Christians, I'm not going to take your word on Christianity.

01:24:08.000 Yeah, true. 0.99

01:24:10.000 It's horrible. 0.99

01:24:11.000 They're trying to kill you guys. 0.99

01:24:12.000 Like, my dad's Colombian. 0.96

01:24:13.000 My dad immigrated here illegally. 0.99

01:24:16.000 And they're trying to kill you guys.

01:24:17.000 You guys built the best empire in history.

01:24:21.000 And it's a nation that thrived and did so well and was feared on the world stage.

01:24:25.000 And now it's become this laughing stock that gives billions out to anyone who provokes their neighbor into a war. 0.97

01:24:30.000 And they're trying to kill you guys for being white Christian men. 0.98

01:24:33.000 It's unreal. 0.98

01:24:34.000 And we've got to reinforce God back in our society, back in our schools.

01:24:38.000 We cannot have our textbooks permeated by any type of propaganda that's foreign.

01:24:44.000 We need Christ back in the schools.

01:24:45.000 And I'm saying that as a Messianic Jew.

01:24:47.000 American values.

01:24:50.000 And I think a lot of our day-to-day culture doesn't reinforce American values generally.

01:24:57.000 Like, we can talk about the history books, we can talk about Hollywood or whatever else, but I also think day-to-day people don't live lies that are reflective of American values.

01:25:05.000 There are some people who do, but I think, you know...

01:25:08.000 Being openly patriotic, being there for community, you know, doing things to serve those around you, protecting your family.

01:25:14.000 There are some enclaves of American culture that live that way, but a lot of predominant centers of American populations don't have that at the core, and that's sad.

01:25:23.000 I don't want to call out this company, so I'm asking, you know, everybody who's here just not to name the company, but we recently bought a bunch of products from one company, just as like, you know, on a whim, and this company, which produces a variety of meats and meat snacks, Writes their their mission of inclusivity and a diverse healthy snack and I'm just like What about dried meat is diverse and inclusive?

01:25:47.000 This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard And so I don't want to I don't want to again directly name the company because I'll let them do their thing We won't buy from them ever again, you know, whatever no beef.

01:25:55.000 It's just it's become a it's a cult Yeah, where it's like we're we're making a series of neckties, but our neckties are inclusive how? 0.99

01:26:03.000 Anybody can wear them.

01:26:04.000 Yeah Well, I didn't know that before.

01:26:08.000 I didn't know that literally anyone could buy this tie and put it on.

01:26:11.000 Thank you for saying it directly.

01:26:13.000 I've actually been thinking recently I need a necktie.

01:26:15.000 Oh, there you go.

01:26:16.000 Our inclusive neckties are available.

01:26:17.000 I better buy the inclusive one so that I'm not called... They're diverse as well.

01:26:20.000 Yeah, I need a diverse, inclusive necktie.

01:26:23.000 Because white people, black people, Mexican people, and Asians, they can all wear them.

01:26:26.000 Are you sure?

01:26:27.000 I'm worried about that.

01:26:28.000 We actually tested them to make sure.

01:26:30.000 Can women also wear these neckties? 1.00

01:26:32.000 I need a scientific study and a written certification from the company.

01:26:36.000 I just can't take your word for it.

01:26:37.000 Both of you are bigoted.

01:26:38.000 Let's make sure that they put it on the package.

01:26:40.000 These companies are writing like, our product is to ensure a diverse and inclusive meat snack.

01:26:48.000 That also sounds creepy.

01:26:49.000 That starts to sound like right on the edge of cannibalism.

01:26:51.000 I don't really like it.

01:26:52.000 What kind of meat are you talking about?

01:26:54.000 I really want to only know a specific.

01:26:55.000 I don't want diverse. 1.00

01:26:56.000 I want specifically one type of meat.

01:26:58.000 I want you to label it on the package.

01:26:59.000 How did that type of thinking introduce itself into our country?

01:27:03.000 Where did it come from?

01:27:04.000 Who introduced it?

01:27:05.000 Well, I think you don't know this. 0.98

01:27:06.000 The history of beef jerky is that only racist white men eat it.

01:27:09.000 And so we need to find a way to make it accessible to urban liberals.

01:27:12.000 Well, the left are, you know, default liberals is what Breitbart called them.

01:27:18.000 I believe that's what he called them.

01:27:20.000 Because they don't actually have, they don't seek out information, they just hear it and they adhere to it.

01:27:26.000 So, I want to do a game show.

01:27:28.000 And we should totally do this, not even kidding.

01:27:31.000 And it's political trivia, but the contestants are going to be like two people from the left and two people from the right.

01:27:37.000 Two self-identified liberals, two self-identified conservatives, and then we ask questions.

01:27:42.000 That'd be cool.

01:27:42.000 You know, I'm not saying I know exactly how it would turn out and who would tend to be right or whatever.

01:27:46.000 You know.

01:27:47.000 But I think the right would tend to have, because the right argues all the time about various political issues, what is described as the right in the culture war includes libertarians who are going to start quoting a whole bunch of like anarchist philosophers, like real ones, not the left weirdos.

01:28:00.000 And people on the left are going to be like, huh?

01:28:02.000 You get someone who's like a liberal activist and you put them up against a conservative activist and you ask about modern politics.

01:28:10.000 What was the name of the private military contractor who died in a plane crash who was deeply involved in the Ukraine war?

01:28:22.000 And what's going to happen is a conservative is going to say that right away, like, well, yeah, and the liberal is going to be like, I don't know what you're talking about.

01:28:29.000 What is the name of the prosecutor fired in Ukraine after Joe Biden flew to the country and threatened to withhold $1 billion?

01:28:37.000 Oh, I know the name.

01:28:38.000 Victor Shokin.

01:28:40.000 Oh, wow.

01:28:41.000 Look at that.

01:28:42.000 I'm willing to bet you bring a liberal and conservative commentator and the liberal is going to be like, What?

01:28:48.000 What are we even talking about?

01:28:49.000 They're making TikToks.

01:28:51.000 Well, it's the new, it's the new liberals would not get any of this stuff.

01:28:54.000 My grandma was a liberal and she would have, she paid attention to everything. 0.81

01:28:57.000 And then you'd say like, what, you know, if we get specific on well regulated, referred to a type of armed individual that went by this name.

01:29:11.000 Militia?

01:29:12.000 Regulars.

01:29:13.000 Oh, regulars.

01:29:14.000 It's in the name!

01:29:15.000 I think this is a great game show.

01:29:16.000 I think we should start one.

01:29:17.000 I think so too.

01:29:17.000 I really want to play.

01:29:18.000 I also hijacked my pop culture crisis today and said that we should start a game show where we find Brett a wife and turn it into the dating game.

01:29:26.000 So we're just, the whole company, we're just turning into a, we are the new game show network.

01:29:26.000 I got one for you.

01:29:31.000 I got one for you.

01:29:32.000 I love it.

01:29:32.000 I got one I think maybe, I'm not so sure anyone would be able to answer.

01:29:36.000 Okay.

01:29:38.000 On his famous ride, Paul Revere historically declared what?

01:29:44.000 The regular British are coming? 1.00

01:29:45.000 Trans men are real men.

01:29:48.000 Why would Paul Revere say the British are coming when they were all British? 0.99

01:29:52.000 And the country was split between loyalists and patriots.

01:29:58.000 I wonder why they changed that in the textbooks.

01:30:01.000 It was just a poem.

01:30:03.000 The British are coming. 1.00

01:30:04.000 It's like the cops showing up.

01:30:06.000 The Americans are here!

01:30:07.000 It's like, heh, just cops.

01:30:09.000 Hey, the regulars are coming, which were effectively like the law enforcement of the day.

01:30:13.000 The poem made it propaganda.

01:30:15.000 It was Longfellow.

01:30:17.000 The lead propagandist in American culture.

01:30:19.000 I'm just kidding.

01:30:20.000 It is commonly believed that he said the British are coming, but my readings of academia, and Serge got this too, that he said the regulars are coming.

01:30:29.000 It's apocryphal that he said.

01:30:31.000 Is apocryphal the right word?

01:30:32.000 I think so.

01:30:33.000 I think so, yeah.

01:30:34.000 Well, it was, you know, art.

01:30:36.000 It's also, like, for Americans, like, 200 years later, they're just like, well, he's meant the British, so, like, we'll just write it in.

01:30:41.000 There's so many cool stories in the American Revolution, it's crazy.

01:30:44.000 Those people were crusaders.

01:30:46.000 Those were crusaders.

01:30:47.000 Those were young men who were actually impassioned on being patriots for their country, and many of them believed in Christ, and many of them were willing to lay down their lives for the values that they saw.

01:30:56.000 Oh, dude, doing, like, a religion trivia one?

01:30:58.000 With, like, a liberal and a conservative?

01:31:00.000 Oh, wait, wait, as Ian the host.

01:31:04.000 Whenever I go up to Boston, which I'm going to be doing again for Thanksgiving.

01:31:08.000 That's a tradition?

01:31:09.000 It's our tradition.

01:31:11.000 Me and my brother and my son and this year my brother's girlfriend is coming.

01:31:14.000 We go out for dinner for Thanksgiving.

01:31:16.000 This is our third year of this tradition and we have the best time.

01:31:21.000 But anyway, on the way up I always stop at Lexington and Concord for the Shot Heard Around the World and to see where Nathaniel Hawthorne lived in the old manse.

01:31:29.000 And I love it.

01:31:30.000 I love, I mean, I love Hawthorne, but I love Lexington and Concord.

01:31:34.000 I love, like, just being there in this space.

01:31:37.000 And it's such a small area.

01:31:39.000 It's a little bridge.

01:31:40.000 This was my favorite thing about growing up in New England, which is that when you study American revolutionary history, which you do for every year until they have to make you study other things, you get the best field trips because everything is within driving distance.

01:31:52.000 And you can say, like, oh, this happened here.

01:31:54.000 And every small town has some kind of connection to it.

01:31:57.000 It's it's I mean I feel bad for the rest of you I know Texas teaches his own history but it was it was one of the best parts of where I grew up because the American Revolutionary War is such a present and real part of that that region of the country.

01:32:09.000 Well did you have this like because I grew up in the South Shore of Boston and most of the history we learned was Revolutionary War history.

01:32:18.000 And then when I moved to Philadelphia, like, all the history was about, you know, after the revolution, it was about the, like, the creating of the Constitution.

01:32:26.000 I feel like American regional history is such a cool thing.

01:32:30.000 Yeah, we don't appreciate American regionalism enough.

01:32:32.000 I mean, this is the thing that I think we lose Again, not that you should not be informed of what's going on in the world, but I love that Texas teaches its own history.

01:32:41.000 I know, you know, some students in West Virginia do some courses in West Virginia history.

01:32:45.000 There are all kinds of regional influences, like even if you talk about... And West Virginia has so much Civil War history.

01:32:51.000 If you talk about, like, how Minneapolis-St.

01:32:51.000 Right, right.

01:32:54.000 Paul came to be, a lot of that is because of the Scandinavian immigration that happened there.

01:32:59.000 America has such an interesting regional history that, unfortunately, I feel like local governments, local school systems do not put enough of an emphasis on it.

01:33:07.000 I'm so sorry that, you know, it is sort of a crime against ourselves.

01:33:12.000 It's not going to necessarily solve peace in the Middle East, but it would be nice to remember our heritage and know about all of these things that made us who we are.

01:33:19.000 I mean, the massive protest that we saw in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, over the weekend, which is like, it went up Fifth Avenue.

01:33:27.000 Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.

01:33:27.000 Bay Ridge?

01:33:28.000 Isn't that a Jewish area?

01:33:30.000 Well, it's an immigrant neighborhood, and it's a very Arab neighborhood, and there's a lot of Jews in the neighborhood, and there's Jews all around it.

01:33:37.000 Flatbush, Borough Park.

01:33:39.000 That's where that famous bagel place is.

01:33:41.000 There's a lot of good bagel places in Bay Ridge.

01:33:43.000 I don't want to shout them out because I don't... You don't like them?

01:33:43.000 Which one?

01:33:46.000 No, because I don't want to throw a brick to their window.

01:33:48.000 Oh, that's fair.

01:33:49.000 But there's a lot of good bagel places in the neighborhood.

01:33:50.000 You can always get a good bagel.

01:33:52.000 Bay Ridge is this great neighborhood.

01:33:54.000 I moved there years and years ago.

01:33:57.000 And Bay Ridge has always been an immigrant neighborhood.

01:34:01.000 So there were Norwegians there.

01:34:04.000 There were Norwegians there because they were building the Verrazano Bridge.

01:34:06.000 That was primarily Norwegian.

01:34:08.000 There were Greeks that came in.

01:34:09.000 There were Italians that came in.

01:34:11.000 There were Chinese.

01:34:13.000 There's not any Indians, and you can tell because there's no good Indian food in the neighborhood at all.

01:34:19.000 But there were Central Americans, Mexicans, Arabs.

01:34:23.000 I lived there for a long time.

01:34:23.000 You lived there, right?

01:34:25.000 I don't live there now.

01:34:26.000 I moved.

01:34:27.000 But it was a great neighborhood, a ton of great food.

01:34:32.000 Lots of Jewish people, lots of Arab people, lots of Teslas.

01:34:36.000 It's like there's a lot of wealth in the neighborhood as well.

01:34:40.000 But I found it so surprising and I'd seen pro-Palestinian protests there in the neighborhood before.

01:34:49.000 But it was always much smaller.

01:34:50.000 And this was a huge massive protest and seeing the police blocking off streets.

01:34:56.000 And one of the streets that I saw police in videos blocking off was a street where one of my old friends lives and he's Israeli and his whole family lives there.

01:35:06.000 And I'm just like imagining him and his family and their kids like seeing this and they're Jewish.

01:35:13.000 And I'm just like seeing this happen.

01:35:15.000 And I was like, I don't think that I don't like that.

01:35:17.000 I don't like that they feel Like, their neighborhood is under siege, that there's helicopters going on.

01:35:23.000 And the thing about it being Bay Ridge is that this is just this classic old immigrant neighborhood. 1.00

01:35:28.000 And I feel like if the people in that neighborhood, if the schools were better at teaching Brooklyn history, if the schools were better at, you know, if the city was better appreciating itself, then those kids would all know, like, oh, this is not just an Arab neighborhood.

01:35:41.000 This is a classic immigrant neighborhood.

01:35:44.000 When we move on, there's going to be a different group of immigrants that's going to move in here. 1.00

01:35:48.000 And it's just, that's sort of how Bay Ridge goes.

01:35:50.000 Like, it belongs to nobody.

01:35:52.000 It belongs to everybody.

01:35:54.000 It's just a constant, like... Well, it's a New York neighborhood.

01:35:56.000 It belongs to New York.

01:35:57.000 It's a very New York neighborhood.

01:35:58.000 We're going to go to Super Chats.

01:36:35.000 Super Chat with Howdy People.

01:36:36.000 Howdy.

01:36:37.000 Howdy.

01:36:38.000 QuantumStrangeQuarks says, first, no.

01:36:41.000 Second.

01:36:42.000 Drizzalus says, first, nope.

01:36:44.000 Third.

01:36:45.000 PorkchopExpress says, you know, Uh, nope, nope, sorry.

01:36:48.000 I don't know if I do, actually.

01:36:49.000 Nope, nope, fourth, fourth.

01:36:52.000 Alright.

01:36:53.000 Cold Deluxe Productions says, Hey Tim, you brought up again the new cars can be remotely controlled in your culture war segment again.

01:36:58.000 I just want to clarify that only applies to new vehicles with electric power steering, not hydraulic power steering.

01:37:05.000 Okay, thank you for the, for the correction.

01:37:05.000 Interesting.

01:37:08.000 Alan Choi says, Tim is not a simp.

01:37:10.000 The problem is that dating has to be a way to find a spouse.

01:37:13.000 Find a spouse is essentially replaced marriage, in which case you are correct. 0.99

01:37:17.000 So just to clarify, I did a segment earlier, there's a woman being interviewed, and the guy asks her, how much should a man spend on a first date for you?

01:37:24.000 And she goes, $200.

01:37:25.000 And he's like, why?

01:37:26.000 And then she explains it.

01:37:28.000 And I said, she's correct.

01:37:29.000 And then, you know, everybody starts having a huge debate over it.

01:37:32.000 But my position was basically just like, If you're arguing it's too much money, then your argument is, this woman has expensive tastes. 1.00

01:37:40.000 Not that she's wrong.

01:37:41.000 You're arguing, well, you know, I couldn't afford that.

01:37:44.000 So I think a lot of this shock comes from, I couldn't afford $200 going on a date with a woman.

01:37:47.000 But this woman's in like Miami, and she's like, surrounded by guys who have this kind of cash.

01:37:53.000 And so...

01:37:54.000 My point is not so much the dollar value, but that in a traditional dating sense, women expecting men to pay, and pay well, is the traditional gender role.

01:38:05.000 And arguing that women should either not expect the men to pay, to pay well, or to split, is the progressive argument.

01:38:13.000 Yeah.

01:38:13.000 So if I see like a woman getting all gussied up and putting on a ton of makeup and doing a lot of work and be like, I want a guy who's gonna pay, then I'm just like, I see nothing wrong with it.

01:38:20.000 I think my issue with it wasn't so much that the man should be paying because I do think that the man should pay for the date.

01:38:25.000 I think my issue with it was how direct she was instead of just being like, oh, that was so nice.

01:38:30.000 You took me out for dinner.

01:38:31.000 That was really great.

01:38:33.000 She was like, I demand it!

01:38:35.000 Well, I feel like this question put her on the spot.

01:38:37.000 They're like put a number on it and she's like, you know, you could do this calculation we could do before the show.

01:38:41.000 We did it and she's right.

01:38:42.000 Yeah, like if you're paying for like transportation, it's dinner, it's the movie, it's like maybe something after, whatever.

01:38:47.000 I just would like a little more.

01:38:48.000 Also like anything.

01:38:49.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't- Just be nicer about it.

01:38:51.000 I don't think like, look, Hinge is not adding a thing as far as I know, I'm not on Hinge, but they're not adding a part where it's like, here is the price point at which I am looking for a first date, right?

01:38:59.000 This isn't something that people typically lead off with.

01:39:02.000 She said $200 and my point was Uber ride, $30.

01:39:07.000 Dinner, 50, 60 bucks, maybe 70 bucks, depending on how nice you wanna go.

01:39:11.000 If you get alcohol, it's more expensive.

01:39:12.000 I'm including alcohol in that.

01:39:13.000 Okay.

01:39:13.000 Because if you're going to your average diner in New York, it's gonna be like 30 bucks, or 30 or 40 bucks if you get an appetizer and two entrees, and then booze, you're gonna be like 50, 60.

01:39:22.000 Oh, it's gonna be more than that.

01:39:23.000 Don't you think?

01:39:24.000 I'm thinking like a regular diner for a burger.

01:39:25.000 In New York?

01:39:26.000 But if you wanna get something nice, like a steak.

01:39:27.000 Not in New York, though.

01:39:28.000 For even a burger?

01:39:29.000 New York is expensive.

01:39:30.000 Two burgers is gonna be more than 50 bucks?

01:39:32.000 Well, when I used to live in Brooklyn and I would take my kid out to a diner and I'd end up spending like 60 bucks with no liquor.

01:39:41.000 Well, okay then.

01:39:42.000 So there you go.

01:39:43.000 I think it's easily $100 for the meal, especially if you get alcohol.

01:39:46.000 So you're at $130 with an Uber and a meal.

01:39:48.000 We're talking a nice date.

01:39:49.000 We're not talking like you went to hang out at the park and grabbed a burger at Burger Shack or something like that.

01:39:52.000 And in Miami, too.

01:39:53.000 That's for the third date.

01:39:54.000 And Miami, right.

01:39:55.000 No, for real, it is.

01:39:56.000 And so then you want to do a movie, and you got two movie tickets, $20 each, plus popcorn and whatever snack.

01:40:00.000 Maybe you're not super hungry, but you want a popcorn.

01:40:02.000 You're looking at another $50.

01:40:03.000 You're at like $150 or whatever.

01:40:05.000 Another Uber right after the fact.

01:40:06.000 Maybe you got two or three Ubers in there. 1.00

01:40:08.000 Or maybe you drive, and it's less, but still.

01:40:11.000 We're still paying for gas, probably parking.

01:40:13.000 There's all kinds of expenses.

01:40:14.000 And then you want to round off the night with going to the lake and riding a Ferris wheel.

01:40:17.000 I'm choosing totally generic things.

01:40:19.000 I love this place where we're both in New York and there's a lake and a Ferris wheel.

01:40:22.000 I think this is great.

01:40:22.000 I think this is a great dating world.

01:40:24.000 I think you're in Coney Island, so now you're like... Then that's an even more expensive Uber.

01:40:28.000 No, well if you're at a diner... That's like $200 for the Uber to get to Coney Island.

01:40:31.000 It's a Brooklyn diner, and then you're at Coney Island, and then you're on the Ferris wheel.

01:40:35.000 But I'd want a Broadway show.

01:40:36.000 See, and how good are those tickets?

01:40:38.000 Oh, for real.

01:40:39.000 You could spend $200 alone on the tickets.

01:40:41.000 Oh, at least.

01:40:42.000 I mean, what if you're taking her to Hamilton?

01:40:44.000 It's just crazy, right?

01:40:46.000 And so, like, you can argue the girl's not worth it, but that's your preference.

01:40:50.000 The point is, that woman has set a standard by which she wants to date by, and I'm surprised people are like, she's wrong to ask for it. 0.97

01:40:56.000 Like, she can ask for whatever she wants.

01:40:57.000 She could say, I want a million dollars on my first date.

01:40:58.000 Look, and then you look at her and say, I'm so sorry, you have priced yourself out of, I don't think we're compatible financially.

01:41:04.000 So the Boston Globe has Love Letters, which is their advice column, and they have a podcast, and they did a whole season on finances and how it affects relationships.

01:41:10.000 But they talked to two, I don't know if they're Gen Z or millennials, but young people, because it is expensive, especially for men to be dating.

01:41:18.000 I mean, it is basically something they have to, I don't know if you actually set a budget for it, but it's something they have to factor in if you want to meet a girl.

01:41:24.000 And even if you're just meeting her for a drink, right?

01:41:26.000 Alcohol is expensive, going out is expensive, the transportation is expensive.

01:41:30.000 It's not to be done lightly, and I don't think it behooves women to be like... Well, it goes back to what you said about conservatives being the ones who would actually take someone out and spend the money and do the things and the chivalrous things. 0.99

01:41:40.000 Well, I think it just doesn't behoove women to say, like, oh, I shouldn't expect these things.

01:41:44.000 Like, you're setting a tone for a relationship, and, you know, I don't think you should expect a million dollars.

01:41:48.000 On the other hand, these things come with a cost.

01:41:50.000 Let's talk about this in the members only, we'll take questions from the audience then, but let's read some more Super Chats to try and get these in.

01:41:55.000 NeuroDivergent says, request for Cast Castle, does Ian have like an evil Damien twin that's a neocon?

01:42:01.000 Because I think that'd be sweet.

01:42:02.000 That would be cool.

01:42:03.000 We did a gag where on Cast Castle, Ian did a behind the scenes where he's actually an actor.

01:42:08.000 The best line of all time, Richard Nixon, that's a guy I'd like to have a glass of red wine with.

01:42:14.000 And then it's like the actor who plays Ian, he's like, what motivates me?

01:42:19.000 What gets me out of bed in the morning for this role?

01:42:21.000 Money.

01:42:23.000 It was just, Ian's a good actor.

01:42:24.000 He's like trained and he's like, he does a really good job.

01:42:26.000 But it was funny, like the bit was, everything you think about Ian is just fabricated. 0.87

01:42:30.000 He's actually this like really well trained British guy who's like, just trying to channel this moronic, drug addicted, whatever kind of character idea. 0.84

01:42:38.000 He's just doing Lawrence Olivier. 0.87

01:42:39.000 Yeah, it's all a bit.

01:42:41.000 Raymond G. Stanley Jr.

01:42:42.000 says, Tim, I keep seeing a thing you need to address.

01:42:44.000 We only want you to do what's right.

01:42:45.000 I have faith in you.

01:42:46.000 For the next segment, please check the volume.

01:42:48.000 Now, are you saying check the source?

01:42:52.000 Because I often will have the wrong source set, and I'll play a video, and then the audio comes out of the wrong feed, and I have to change the source.

01:42:57.000 Oh.

01:42:58.000 Maybe.

01:42:58.000 I think that's what he's saying.

01:42:59.000 Maybe we should just stop yelling.

01:43:01.000 Maybe they want us to speak more quietly.

01:43:02.000 No, no, he's talking about my segments.

01:43:04.000 Oh, okay.

01:43:04.000 Because I'll, like, I'll play a Twitter video, but it's coming from the TV and not the speakers, so you can't hear it.

01:43:08.000 And I'll be like, ah, wait!

01:43:09.000 Gotta do it again.

01:43:10.000 Yeah, I'll check your stream deck.

01:43:12.000 I thought they wanted, like, a TimCast ASMR video.

01:43:15.000 Nope.

01:43:15.000 Oh my goodness.

01:43:16.000 Alright, let's read some more.

01:43:17.000 Weird Nugs says, getting married in one week, would you mind shouting out me, Zach, and my fiance, Amber? 0.91

01:43:22.000 Shout out to Zach and Amber! 0.99

01:43:23.000 Congrats.

01:43:24.000 On your marriage.

01:43:25.000 Good job.

01:43:25.000 That's so exciting.

01:43:26.000 Congratulations.

01:43:27.000 Absolutely.

01:43:28.000 Crossing the Line Podcast says, the trend of Gen Z thinking they will be able to dodge the draft is very amusing. 0.90

01:43:33.000 It's almost worth World War III to be able to see them go off to fight.

01:43:36.000 Destroy the world just to spite Gen Z. It's the Millennials I can't stand. 1.00

01:43:39.000 Yeah, real.

01:43:40.000 They refuse to go to be to be drafted destroy the world just to spite Gen Z. Yeah, it's the Millennials

01:43:46.000 I can't stand yeah real yeah, you know Gen Z is pretty pretty pretty based. I think my kids made

01:43:52.000 I know a fact about graphene.

01:43:53.000 and I just never forgive them for that.

01:43:55.000 Oh look, check it out you guys.

01:43:57.000 It's graphene.

01:43:59.000 I don't know anything about graphene.

01:44:01.000 You had a week in this chair and you learned nothing about graphene.

01:44:03.000 I know a fact about graphene.

01:44:05.000 Ian really likes graphene.

01:44:07.000 I don't really understand.

01:44:07.000 hitting journalism they pay you for?

01:44:09.000 I bought that for Ian for Christmas.

01:44:11.000 Oh really? He never opened it.

01:44:13.000 Well no, you're not supposed to.

01:44:15.000 He's not seasoning.

01:44:17.000 You don't want that flying around.

01:44:19.000 One of the gags we have for Cast Castle is like walking into a room and Ian's doing lines

01:44:23.000 of graphene.

01:44:26.000 It looks like toner cartridge ink.

01:44:28.000 That's what it looks like.

01:44:29.000 It does, it does.

01:44:30.000 Alright, let's grab a Super Chat.

01:44:32.000 What is this?

01:44:33.000 Pinochet's Helicopter Tour says, it's a good thing we did that emergency test.

01:44:37.000 I love the conspiracy theory.

01:44:39.000 The conspiracy theory was that the emergency test was activating the 5G nanobots or something.

01:44:43.000 Oh nice.

01:44:44.000 I just know someone told me to turn off all of my like government alert things and whatever else and I still got it so I think the Apple iPhone is in league with the government and I'm the first person to ever think this idea.

01:44:58.000 The moment you turned it on, it went off.

01:44:59.000 Yeah.

01:45:00.000 Crazy, right?

01:45:00.000 I couldn't turn it off.

01:45:01.000 It also came early because everyone was trying to avoid it.

01:45:04.000 No, I think the way it's designed is that if they're trying to warn you a nuke is coming or something like that, your phone could be off.

01:45:11.000 You turn it on an hour later, the message comes through.

01:45:14.000 You got it.

01:45:14.000 No, I mean like it was supposed to go off at like 2.30 and it said it went off at like 2.15.

01:45:17.000 No, I know.

01:45:18.000 I'm just saying no matter what, everybody gets it.

01:45:20.000 Yeah.

01:45:20.000 No matter what you do.

01:45:22.000 I don't consent to this.

01:45:23.000 They used to do it on radio and TV, remember?

01:45:25.000 This is a test of the emergency broadcast system.

01:45:28.000 I like that, that's kind of nostalgic.

01:45:29.000 Yeah, but like, that's nostalgic, but nobody has a TV.

01:45:32.000 Yeah, who's TV running 24-7 anymore?

01:45:34.000 I don't, personally.

01:45:36.000 Alright, HunterKiller86 says the only bright side of World War 3 is Zephram Cochran will be able to make a warp drive in the aftermath, and when he tests it, he will initiate first contact with the Vulcan race and start us on a path to Starfleet.

01:45:47.000 Fair point.

01:45:49.000 I learn so much every time I'm here.

01:45:50.000 Kurtalinga says, Tim, I saw your video about Cassandra earlier.

01:45:53.000 If everyone valued loyalty the way you do, the world would be a much better place.

01:45:57.000 Bravo. Good sir.

01:45:58.000 And I will also clarify too, because people are mad at Cassandra because she had a tweet

01:46:04.000 about a paraglider from Gaza and she said it was impressive, but it was before.

01:46:07.000 And so they're trying to act like she tweeted after when we knew that the paragliders were killing each other. 0.94

01:46:11.000 They have just decided they hate her and that's ridiculous. 0.95

01:46:13.000 Yeah, as a Jew, let me just say she's been so nice to me. 0.94

01:46:16.000 I've never met anyone that was so nice.

01:46:18.000 And she just wants peace.

01:46:19.000 And I will stress too, because we're getting these people being like, who's Tim booking now?

01:46:24.000 It's like, bro, all of our guests are booked like two months out.

01:46:26.000 That's crazy.

01:46:27.000 And yeah, so like, everybody we've had on the past week, it's because they were already booked.

01:46:31.000 Yeah.

01:46:32.000 Not because we were like, hey look, war happened in Israel, let's book these specific people.

01:46:35.000 Also, like, I don't know, are you supposed to now be like, no guys, we have to have way more Jewish people on to appease the internet?

01:46:40.000 That sounds way more creepy and discriminatory, in my opinion.

01:46:43.000 Some dude made a video where he's like, 21% of Tim Cass' guests are Jewish.

01:46:48.000 It was a 21.9.

01:46:49.000 He went deep.

01:46:50.000 He really calculated it.

01:46:51.000 And there's no way to appease the internet, Hannah-Claire.

01:46:53.000 No!

01:46:54.000 But I found out that we book Jewish people at ten times the national average.

01:46:58.000 Maybe we should hire that guy to do some data analysis on the company.

01:47:01.000 He's really into it.

01:47:02.000 I'm like, man, Cassandra, they're accusing her of being anti-semitic, but she books Jewish guests at ten times the national average.

01:47:09.000 I love how we get accused of being shills for Israel, and now they're criticizing Cassandra for criticizing Israel, and I'm like, dude.

01:47:15.000 This is so funny.

01:47:16.000 And some of them are conservatives, too.

01:47:18.000 They're attacking our diversity, and I don't like it.

01:47:22.000 Cassandra's booked people who are, like, very pro-Israel.

01:47:25.000 I think we have, like, some pretty pro-Israel people coming here this week, too.

01:47:28.000 But they're booked in advance.

01:47:29.000 We didn't book them on purpose.

01:47:31.000 Sometimes we get lucky, like, we'll book somebody, and we'll book, like, just a figurative, like, you know, the head of the National Bakers Association on the same day the bakers are going on strike, and we're like, well, how did that happen?

01:47:40.000 You know, just...

01:47:41.000 Didn't that happen with Crowder and Candace and stuff?

01:47:45.000 That whole thing broke down?

01:47:46.000 I think we had booked Candace well in advance. 0.98

01:47:48.000 Right, you had booked Candace in advance, yeah.

01:47:51.000 And Crowder came on because it was the timing.

01:47:53.000 But the Candace one, that's how it lined up.

01:47:56.000 I liked when we had Dan Lyman on and Elon Musk was at the border the hour before.

01:48:01.000 And it's like, good, we have a border person talking about the news.

01:48:03.000 Stuff like that, yeah.

01:48:04.000 It's cool.

01:48:05.000 I did not schedule Elon Musk's trip to the border.

01:48:08.000 All right, let's see.

01:48:10.000 Cordo Mali says, Massad was blindsided by this? 0.96

01:48:12.000 Are they so inept, so convenient that we forget about Israel's crimes when they get attacked? 0.98

01:48:17.000 I have no love for Palestine, but the biases on this show are showing. 0.70

01:48:20.000 Now, I think the issue is we're not talking about anything beyond what's literally happening right now, because I can't.

01:48:25.000 And so, for people to come to me and be like, well, what about Israel did this?

01:48:28.000 I'm like, no idea.

01:48:29.000 I don't know what you're talking about.

01:48:30.000 And also, like, from what Hamas said, like, five people knew about it.

01:48:34.000 Like, a lot of people knew that because they knew this was happening.

01:48:36.000 They were training people for it.

01:48:37.000 They train people to do something.

01:48:38.000 They don't tell them what it's for.

01:48:40.000 And then when you go and do it, you know, suddenly you're over the border and you're actually doing it.

01:48:43.000 So.

01:48:44.000 Archfantum says, y'all are so warped.

01:48:46.000 Tell me this, was Nat Turner wrong to rebel against the slave masters?

01:48:50.000 That's the analogy, and again, y'all are warped. 0.97

01:48:52.000 I will say this, unequivocally, that John Brown was a psychopath and a bad person.

01:48:58.000 He was also a famous abolitionist who is cheered on by a lot of people. 0.98

01:49:03.000 The only problem was he murdered a bunch of people, and that's crazy.

01:49:07.000 I understand slavery is bad, dude, no question. 0.97

01:49:10.000 But like, I don't know.

01:49:12.000 I just, I can't advocate for a dude who gets his kids whipped up and goes around just murdering people.

01:49:17.000 Like, just not, not the way you do things.

01:49:20.000 Maybe 200 years ago.

01:49:22.000 So the issue right now is if y'all are arguing there's something bad happening between Israel and Palestine and Gaza and the loss of land and all this stuff, it's like What do we do about it?

01:49:33.000 Propose a solution.

01:49:35.000 And then I bid you good luck, sir.

01:49:38.000 That's it.

01:49:39.000 The idea that Hamas is justified in killing civilians because they're slaves?

01:49:44.000 No.

01:49:45.000 When people were like, it's an open-air prison.

01:49:48.000 If someone was being held captive as a slave, and they escaped, broke their chains, ran full speed away from the plantation, and the first thing they did was they ran up to some 20-year-old white woman and just murdered her, mercilessly.

01:50:01.000 It's like, okay.

01:50:03.000 I don't understand what that has to do with escaping for your freedom, or whatever.

01:50:07.000 Freedom wasn't the goal, it was revenge.

01:50:09.000 Right.

01:50:09.000 Yeah.

01:50:10.000 Or, or retribution.

01:50:11.000 Retribution, yeah.

01:50:12.000 Or war, or whatever.

01:50:13.000 Yeah.

01:50:14.000 If, if, if the slaves broke free and then just started like murdering a bunch of random people in and around the areas because they were party.

01:50:21.000 I talked about this before.

01:50:22.000 Using Game of Thrones as an analogy.

01:50:25.000 Donaris Targaryen takes over this city full of slaves and then she immediately executes all of the upper class and slave owners.

01:50:31.000 And then they have a scene, brilliantly written, where a guy comes in for an audience with Donaris and says, my father was a good man who was fighting to end slavery and you executed him.

01:50:42.000 The idea of just...

01:50:44.000 Everyone who is an oppressor is fair game.

01:50:47.000 Settlers are not civilians. 0.98

01:50:48.000 It's insanity.

01:50:49.000 It's insanity.

01:50:50.000 So you're saying we're warped?

01:50:51.000 Bro, I tell you, you're warped.

01:50:53.000 If you think it was justified for Hamas to go kill children and kill random people driving in their cars, Israel released footage to journalists.

01:51:01.000 A journalist from UnHerd, I trust UnHerd, they do a pretty good job, described these videos in detail.

01:51:06.000 I would have preferred to have seen them myself.

01:51:08.000 So, I'll reserve absolute judgment saying, I take it with a grain of salt.

01:51:12.000 Do you agree that Israel puts out fake stuff too, just like Hamas does? 0.99

01:51:16.000 I don't have any recent examples, but I would assume that it is 100% likely that they're putting out fake information.

01:51:21.000 Yeah, because there was that one picture where there was like a child's book on the floor and there was blood and people analyzed it and said, well, blood doesn't look like this when it dries.

01:51:28.000 Doesn't dry pink.

01:51:29.000 Right.

01:51:30.000 Don't know enough about it.

01:51:30.000 Yeah.

01:51:31.000 And my actual, I've not issued a direct response on that.

01:51:34.000 My response there is, There's no point in speculating on what you don't know.

01:51:41.000 I don't understand.

01:51:42.000 So when I saw that photo, I didn't tweet about it.

01:51:44.000 Because I have no idea.

01:51:44.000 Why?

01:51:45.000 And making an argument without proof, I just think is fanning the flames.

01:51:51.000 So that's why I'm critical of the argument that Israel knew in advance and used their advantage because that kind of Innocent people in Israel were killed, and it shifts the blame on the people who killed it? 0.68

01:52:04.000 Or it deflects a tiny bit, like, off of the murderers onto, well, the government knew about it.

01:52:10.000 As if it makes it Netanyahu's fault.

01:52:13.000 But don't you think you owe it to your objectivity to at least investigate and see if the Israeli government lied about it?

01:52:20.000 Because if they lied about that, who knows what else they lied about?

01:52:22.000 Doesn't it open up?

01:52:23.000 I did investigate it.

01:52:24.000 What more can you find?

01:52:25.000 There's a picture of a book.

01:52:26.000 Okay, well that's weird.

01:52:28.000 If they poured fake blood over it- How do you know?

01:52:28.000 Next question.

01:52:30.000 What can you do?

01:52:31.000 How do you investigate it?

01:52:32.000 Well, you could say the same for some of the reports that you're- Absolutely, which is why I said when UnHerd put out a statement saying they saw the videos, I take it with a grain of salt, because I've not seen them myself.

01:52:41.000 Yeah.

01:52:42.000 But when you watch a video of Hamas soldiers shooting people, it's like, is this a sound stage that was faked?

01:52:47.000 I mean, the preponderance of evidence, Occam's Razor would suggest, no, you're looking at videos of people who are cheering for Hamas and screaming, Alhu Akbar, murdering civilians.

01:52:55.000 And there's videos of this.

01:52:57.000 And there is just like...

01:52:58.000 Absurd amounts of evidence.

01:53:00.000 Justin Dimash put out a video where he said his direct family members were killed in an airstrike by Israelis.

01:53:05.000 You have people who are Jewish saying, these are my family members who were kidnapped and killed in Israel.

01:53:11.000 I don't think these people are lying to me.

01:53:14.000 Right?

01:53:15.000 That's all I can say, right?

01:53:17.000 So my point on the Netanyahu thing is, people have actually tried to come out to argue that Israel, the government, knew this was going to happen, and I'm just like, what's the point of speculating on that with zero evidence?

01:53:29.000 Even Charlie Kirk, I'll criticize Charlie Kirk, what's the point of even saying that?

01:53:33.000 It's an interesting thought.

01:53:35.000 Of a possibility with zero evidence to suggest it's true.

01:53:38.000 Because I don't think there should be blind loyalty or blind faith to anyone but Jesus Christ.

01:53:42.000 And I think, you know, I've been following... But that's not blind loyalty, it's like... It's blind loyalty to not question the possibility that someone did do the wrong thing.

01:53:50.000 And I've been following... But no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

01:53:53.000 Questioning Netanyahu with zero evidence...

01:53:57.000 Let's play this game.

01:53:58.000 Did you know that, uh, has anyone asked whether or not the United States actually, uh, told Hamas to do it? 0.94

01:54:03.000 I mean, think about what's going on in the United States.

01:54:05.000 The distraction now that emerged, fracturing the culture war.

01:54:08.000 I mean, the benefits to Joe Biden at a time when his approval rating was in the gutter.

01:54:11.000 Ukraine was, I mean, what's the point of saying anything like that? 0.85

01:54:14.000 I could speculate 50 million ways people benefited and didn't benefit from this.

01:54:19.000 And so all that's happening is Hamas killed people and then go, yeah well I bet Netanyahu knew.

01:54:23.000 Has anyone asked that question?

01:54:24.000 And I'm like, sure we'll get to that after we deal with the people who murdered a bunch of civilians who we know did it and did it on camera.

01:54:30.000 Yeah.

01:54:31.000 I just, I think it's not one of the situations where you can just look through a narrow lens.

01:54:36.000 I think it is two parties involved clearly and I've been following AF posts on a lot of this stuff because I can, you know, look to them for objective news and I've been following it and I'm seeing reports out of Egypt that they gave them a tip and they said this was going to happen.

01:54:51.000 They said that there was going to be some kind of an attack.

01:54:53.000 There was going to be something happened.

01:54:55.000 Well, I think that that gives Israel the foreknowledge that, okay, we may get attacked, so let's, you know, strengthen our borders, let's, you know, gear up our defense systems.

01:55:04.000 See, this is the issue.

01:55:05.000 The Iron Dome goes down.

01:55:07.000 It does speak to my objectivity, and you are very biased.

01:55:11.000 You don't know what the information Israel gave us.

01:55:13.000 You don't know the value of it.

01:55:15.000 You don't know who it was given to.

01:55:16.000 You don't know if it was taken seriously.

01:55:17.000 It's a meaningless news report.

01:55:20.000 Israel may have been warned by Egypt.

01:55:22.000 Warned of what?

01:55:23.000 What if Egypt says, we think from the West Bank?

01:55:26.000 What if Israel said from the North, from Lebanon?

01:55:28.000 What if they said it may come from Syria?

01:55:29.000 We have no idea what Egypt said.

01:55:31.000 We get this vague report that Egypt said something, the quote was, something big.

01:55:35.000 Well, isn't it confirmed that they shut their military down for seven hours when the attack took place?

01:55:39.000 But those are things we should explore.

01:55:41.000 We shouldn't just say, oh, well... But who says we're not exploring it?

01:55:45.000 So it's... Because it's bad!

01:55:47.000 If Netanyahu stood idly by while his fellow countrymen were being slaughtered and carnage was being left behind and Jews were being killed at mass... The issue is that that is made up, right?

01:55:57.000 What do you mean?

01:55:58.000 What is your evidence that Netanyahu stood down intentionally with foreknowledge to allow this to happen for political benefit?

01:56:05.000 There are reports of it.

01:56:06.000 Seven hours.

01:56:06.000 What reports?

01:56:07.000 Seven hours that the military was given in order to... What's the source?

01:56:10.000 I'll give it to you.

01:56:11.000 You know, it's also like it was a holiday, I believe, wasn't it?

01:56:13.000 Sukkot.

01:56:14.000 Yeah, Sukkot, that's right, right. 0.94

01:56:15.000 Yeah, I was thinking about that when we woke up on October 7th and there was this horrifying massacre and the reports were coming in.

01:56:24.000 And I was thinking, Ben Shapiro hadn't said anything.

01:56:27.000 Ari Hoffman, who's at the Postmillennial, who's also Orthodox, he hadn't said anything.

01:56:31.000 And I realized, like, you know, Orthodox Jews around the world are not going to know about this until Sunday.

01:56:38.000 And I just, I just really... You can't turn on the TV and stuff, right?

01:56:40.000 Yeah, you can't do that.

01:56:41.000 So, I mean, I just started, I was just praying for them to be able to withstand this once they knew and for their families and for, you know... I got to read this one.

01:56:51.000 It's a good one.

01:56:53.000 John Sarasanguinis, good name, says 51% of Americans voted for Biden equals America supports Biden going to World War III?

01:57:02.000 Let me break it down for you.

01:57:04.000 51% of Americans do not support Joe Biden.

01:57:06.000 Joe Biden has awful support.

01:57:09.000 Isn't it like 36?

01:57:11.000 It depends on where you're looking.

01:57:12.000 The aggregate might be like 41.

01:57:14.000 But let's make the argument that 51% of Americans did vote for Joe Biden.

01:57:17.000 Joe Biden then goes to war in Ukraine with Russia.

01:57:21.000 Should Russia be like, well, we can't go to war with the United States because it's their government doing it, not their citizens? 0.73

01:57:27.000 Or is Russia going to say, we are being attacked by the United States.

01:57:31.000 We fully recognize that not everyone in the United States wants this to happen, and we want to minimize civilian casualties, but we are currently being attacked, so we will respond.

01:57:40.000 That's the point.

01:57:41.000 I pulled up the article, by the way.

01:57:43.000 It's thepeoplesvoice.tv, according to Jewish Pro-Life Foundation.

01:57:46.000 What is thepeoplesvoice.tv?

01:57:48.000 It's a website online.

01:57:50.000 According to Jewish Pro-Life Foundation leader Cecily Routman, the IDF was given stand-down orders both the Army and the Air Force seven hours to stand down while those attacks took place.

01:58:01.000 And it was fact-checked, it says.

01:58:03.000 Did they say after the attacks started?

01:58:05.000 Yes.

01:58:06.000 I mean during the attack, it says.

01:58:08.000 During the Hamas assault.

01:58:10.000 That seems weird.

01:58:12.000 Has anyone asked anyone that's in the IDF if they actually sit down?

01:58:15.000 Netanyahu ordered the Israeli military to stand down for seven hours during the Hamas invasion. I sat down with

01:58:19.000 Jewish charity leader Cecilia. She has she Has anyone asked anyone that's in the IDF if they actually

01:58:25.000 sit down so it's like a you know just ask them By all means I encourage people to investigate and report

01:58:32.000 on things like this But forgive me if I don't choose to use the people's voice

01:58:36.000 that TV as a credible source Well, Lauren Whiskey reported on it though, and she was just here. 0.87

01:58:40.000 That doesn't mean anything either.

01:58:43.000 Like, the issue is, anyone can write any article.

01:58:48.000 About any number of conspiracies as to what resulted in this going down. 0.97

01:58:55.000 And so what we do know is Hamas wants to kill Israelis. 0.99

01:59:00.000 Many in Hamas just I want to kill all Jews anywhere. 0.99

01:59:03.000 They're chanting, even in the United States, from the river to the sea. 0.99

01:59:06.000 They broke in, they killed a bunch of civilian citizens, old people captured, tourists were killed, children were killed.

01:59:13.000 And then, I don't understand why there is this circuitous argument made for Netanyahu standing down, even from Charlie Kirk.

01:59:24.000 It's speculative, it has no direct evidence, it has a report from thepeoplesvoice.tv, but let's be fair and say, any report anywhere that relies on, I spoke with someone who says it happened.

01:59:36.000 Well, this lady named Ifrat Fenigson, she's a journalist in Israel, she writes for Beresheet News.

01:59:44.000 She said that Israel citizens in Israeli towns near Gaza Strip begging for help from Israeli police or army, and they're not there.

01:59:51.000 Six hours after this nightmare started, what happened to the strongest army in the world?

01:59:56.000 How come border crossings were wide open?

01:59:57.000 They got caught off guard.

01:59:58.000 Something is very wrong here.

01:59:59.000 They got caught off guard.

02:00:00.000 Well, she's sick. 1.00

02:00:01.000 I answered it.

02:00:02.000 I gave you Occam's razor.

02:00:03.000 But the military was told to stand down.

02:00:05.000 That's why they were caught off guard.

02:00:07.000 That's what you want to believe to be true.

02:00:09.000 I don't want to believe it.

02:00:10.000 Then why are you citing a single person instead of talking to a person?

02:00:14.000 I don't think an article from a person I've never heard of is evidence enough for me to believe a secutist conspiracy about the government choosing to stand down to allow their own citizens to be massacred to justify war for some reason.

02:00:25.000 Well, Times of Israel reported that a top U.S.

02:00:27.000 lawmaker affirmed Cairo warned Israel days before the onslaught.

02:00:30.000 I mean, there's just a handful of warnings.

02:00:32.000 And the quote is something big.

02:00:33.000 Right.

02:00:33.000 And what does that mean?

02:00:34.000 I'm just saying that those handful of warnings paired with a seven-hour halt, it just is, it's odd.

02:00:39.000 Seven-hour halt is not proven, and a big warning is vague.

02:00:43.000 What you are doing is you are choosing to interpret two vague things to your narrative.

02:00:48.000 Well, when a person inside Israel with connections to the government says something... Who?

02:00:54.000 I'll pull it up for you.

02:00:55.000 It's in this article.

02:00:56.000 The guy I just named.

02:00:57.000 His name is Cecily Routman.

02:00:59.000 It's interviewed by Lori Witzke.

02:01:01.000 Who is he?

02:01:02.000 He is a...

02:01:05.000 Pro-life foundation leader, works with the government.

02:01:08.000 What does that mean, works with the government?

02:01:10.000 I mean, he's a pro-life foundation leader, so he works with legislators, I assume, to... So he's not actually in government.

02:01:16.000 Works with the government.

02:01:17.000 So he's just a guy who... So, like, I work with the government, because I've done a show with Matt Gaetz.

02:01:21.000 Okay.

02:01:22.000 So I just don't know why you would say... We work with local government all the time on all our business endeavors.

02:01:26.000 We're not in the government, we have no privy knowledge.

02:01:28.000 So, then the question becomes this.

02:01:30.000 Let's assume that the seven-hour stand-down was true.

02:01:33.000 Now the question is, for what reason was it there?

02:01:35.000 You, once again, are making the leap that it was an intentional act to allow the civilians to be killed with no evidence.

02:01:41.000 I'm making the common-sense conclusion that Netanyahu, with one of the most formidable intelligence agencies in the world, there's no chance that he stood by and let that happen.

02:01:54.000 There's no way they just missed it.

02:01:55.000 That's amazing faith in the power of the intelligence community.

02:01:58.000 Yeah, the Mossad is revered for their reach and for their knowledge.

02:02:03.000 But it doesn't matter.

02:02:03.000 You can have whatever opinion you want on the Mossad, but none of this is evidence.

02:02:07.000 It's just speculation.

02:02:08.000 And so I take Occam's razor's approach.

02:02:10.000 And that is, the simple solution tends to be, in the absence of evidence, the solution that makes the least amount of assumptions tends to be correct.

02:02:16.000 That may not be absolute, but I would argue there's a tendency towards, you will more likely be correct if you go down that path.

02:02:24.000 All the leaps you've made are meaningless to me.

02:02:27.000 Because there's not evidence.

02:02:28.000 It's, I have an idea that seems to make sense.

02:02:30.000 Well, it might make sense, but it doesn't mean it's true.

02:02:31.000 Well, we don't have the facts yet, and folks that are supposed to be the pioneers of finding the facts are saying, oh, well, we don't need to find the facts because obviously there's this group here who killed a bunch of people, so they're obviously the ones in the wrong.

02:02:42.000 I think that several people could be complicit here, and the same rage that you share for Hamas that I share with you, I share for the leaders who allowed it to happen. 0.64

02:02:50.000 Well, you can argue they had a lot to happen and that they failed, but that's about it.

02:02:54.000 They failed and they were complicit, is what my argument is, and I don't think that... Without evidence.

02:02:59.000 Well, no, it's not without evidence.

02:03:01.000 You don't have any evidence they were complicit.

02:03:03.000 That's just an absurdity.

02:03:04.000 I don't have any evidence that they weren't complicit.

02:03:08.000 We're going to go to members only, but I'm going to say this.

02:03:10.000 This is why I absolutely hate this subject.

02:03:12.000 Bro, you are wildly speculating without proof of anything, and you are adamant you are correct when you are not.

02:03:20.000 Okay, there is no proof Netanyahu stood down intentionally to allow his citizens to be killed for political benefit.

02:03:27.000 I don't think someone as poised as Charlie Kirk in the political world would just write a tweet and say, hey, I'm speculating that Netanyahu is wrong.

02:03:35.000 I don't think he is.

02:03:36.000 I don't think he is.

02:03:37.000 That's fine.

02:03:38.000 You're allowed to think what you want, but you don't have proof.

02:03:39.000 I don't think the immediate lashing that he faced for saying that also makes it look like

02:03:44.000 he was wrong.

02:03:45.000 You're allowed to think what you want, but my point is you don't have proof.

02:03:48.000 My proof is that warnings were given days ahead.

02:03:50.000 Mossad is the strongest intelligence agency in the world.

02:03:53.000 I think there's a lot of things- Oh, did you know- I'll tell you what the warnings were.

02:03:55.000 The warnings were that a large pizza party was going to be had.

02:03:59.000 You know how I know that?

02:04:00.000 I made it up like you did.

02:04:03.000 You don't know what that warning was.

02:04:05.000 You've chosen a narrative path without proof.

02:04:10.000 I don't do that.

02:04:11.000 It's not true.

02:04:12.000 There's been multiple reports and many outlets have reported on those reports.

02:04:15.000 You don't know what the warnings are.

02:04:17.000 The warnings of what?

02:04:18.000 We know that a warning was given, quote, something big.

02:04:20.000 We don't know what they were told.

02:04:22.000 If Israel was told, hey, something big's coming from Lebanon, Hezbollah's going to make a move. 1.00

02:04:26.000 That's not evidence of a Hamas attack and we don't know the degree to which Israel was warned and how it means anything.

02:04:32.000 If you're going to take action without a complete picture, you will end up Causing harm, causing damage, and then regretting your actions.

02:04:41.000 I don't want to cause damage to anybody.

02:04:42.000 And the whole time this conflict has gone on, I've been saying I want nothing but peace.

02:04:46.000 I want people to stop killing each other.

02:04:48.000 I want civilians and kids' lifeless bodies to stop being carried in the streets of Gaza and Israel.

02:04:53.000 And that's fair.

02:04:54.000 But if you claim that Netanyahu did it intentionally, without proof, you are actually exacerbating the problem.

02:05:01.000 You are escalating the conflict.

02:05:02.000 Netanyahu has been under corruption investigation for years now.

02:05:05.000 It has nothing to do with what's going on.

02:05:07.000 It does, though.

02:05:07.000 When you have someone who has a track record of being corrupt, I wouldn't put it past them to stand idly by while their country... But that... Trump is under investigation as well.

02:05:17.000 Well, Israel is a lot more poised to support Netanyahu, especially since he served for like 16 years.

02:05:23.000 And so I just don't see... I don't see them doing that kind of injustice.

02:05:27.000 I think they're obviously using the government to attack Trump here because they know he's the saving grace of our country.

02:05:33.000 We've got to elect him if we're going to save America.

02:05:34.000 I don't think they think that.

02:05:35.000 I don't think that's why...

02:05:36.000 I think they know that he's a threat to the swamp.

02:05:39.000 I think they know he's a threat to the swamp.

02:05:40.000 Okay.

02:05:41.000 And I think he's a threat to the establishment and they know that and that's why they're trying to throw everything at him.

02:05:48.000 So this is what I refer to as blind zealotry.

02:05:53.000 Right?

02:05:54.000 You're saying you want less conflict and no more dead kids but then accusing Netanyahu of intentionally allowing civilians to die To justify political conflict.

02:06:05.000 And that is an argument for escalation, not de-escalation.

02:06:07.000 Justify political conflict how?

02:06:09.000 You are saying that Netanyahu, advancing even Charlie Kirk's argument, I disagree with, I think it's wrong, Netanyahu intentionally allowed this to happen through a stand-down order after being warned by Egypt and knowing it was coming.

02:06:21.000 You're arguing that he ordered the army to stand down to allow a thousand plus Israeli civilians, including children, to die and be taken hostage.

02:06:28.000 Because he was facing corruption investigations to benefit himself politically.

02:06:32.000 That is an argument for escalation.

02:06:34.000 No, no.

02:06:34.000 But it absolutely is.

02:06:36.000 If what you are saying is true... Retribution.

02:06:38.000 Justice.

02:06:39.000 If what you're saying is true, that Netanyahu did that, it would require an international, on the part of Iran or other nations, move to remove Netanyahu from power.

02:06:49.000 Yeah.

02:06:50.000 Yeah, you're calling for escalation.

02:06:52.000 I'm calling for justice to be carried out and people who were complicit in this attack to face that justice.

02:06:58.000 Okay, so if Netanyahu is complicit, what's the action that should be taken?

02:07:00.000 Well, they're not registered in the ICC, so I don't know if they can go to International Criminal Court, but...

02:07:06.000 So a military force should go in and remove it?

02:07:07.000 When they violate Geneva Conventions, there should be a punishment.

02:07:10.000 So you're calling for a military action in Israel to remove their government?

02:07:12.000 No, no, no.

02:07:13.000 That's not what I'm calling for.

02:07:14.000 I'm calling for a tribunal to be, for people to come and answer for their crimes.

02:07:19.000 So Netanyahu should be arrested?

02:07:20.000 I think so.

02:07:21.000 How do you arrest him?

02:07:22.000 Who arrests him?

02:07:24.000 They're not registered with the ICC, so I don't know, but that doesn't stop me from pointing out the inconsistencies.

02:07:28.000 But you're saying someone should go in and stop Netanyahu?

02:07:31.000 Yes.

02:07:32.000 Someone should.

02:07:33.000 And that requires use of force.

02:07:35.000 Maybe Hamas should do it, eh? 1.00

02:07:37.000 I think you can belittle... Nah, I think Hezbollah, actually. 0.98

02:07:39.000 You think it should be Hezbollah? 1.00

02:07:40.000 You guys are all wrong.

02:07:41.000 Maybe they should team up.

02:07:42.000 Everyone needs to go with Golden Balls. 1.00

02:07:43.000 Perhaps it should just be Iran. 0.99

02:07:45.000 And that's just it.

02:07:46.000 No more international governments, just Golden Balls.

02:07:48.000 If you want to be right, you have to compete.

02:07:49.000 Where is Neville Chamberlain when you need him?
