You will have as much life to live as you allow yourself.
00:00:30.000
Canada just, in 2025, I want to say October, maybe even earlier than that,
00:00:35.980
a couple guys, this guy right here, they started working on saying
00:00:42.520
Truly, some of the stuff in the Bible is hate speech.
00:00:46.520
In this case, the Bible, but there are other religious texts that say the same thing.
00:00:51.260
And somehow, constantly say that this is good faith.
00:00:53.400
I mean, clearly there are situations in these texts where these statements are hateful,
00:00:58.640
blasphemy or be a defense and there should perhaps be discretion for prosecutors the press charges
00:01:05.740
i just want to understand what your notion of good faith is in this context where
00:01:09.340
there are clearly yeah when you have a country without a constitution this is what happens
00:01:13.400
i mean they don't have a first amendment let me read this and then i'm going to come to you let
00:01:17.980
me read this and i'm going to come to you so you're hearing this okay so here we go canada
00:01:24.140
wants to make quoting the bible illegal this is the spectator two days ago easter's almost here
00:01:29.880
and canada's liberal government has chosen the sacred season to display its utter contempt
00:01:34.000
for christianity it's currently forcing through uh the outrageous bill c9 which could make it a
00:01:40.100
hate crime to quote from the sections of the bible more than 40 civil and religious groups have asked
00:01:45.100
that for the bill's language be clarified and its scope more carefully defined so their religious
00:01:49.980
texts would not be subject to hate crime legislation, but all in vain. After a hot
00:01:54.800
debate in the House of Commons, the liberals high-handedly ended a conservative filibuster.
00:02:00.760
In fact, fast-tracked the bill. It's now been sent to the Senate to decide if Canada is the
00:02:05.400
kind of a country that wants to turn quoting St. Paul into a criminal act. Ilan.
00:02:12.200
Yeah, again, Canada doesn't have, they have a bill of rights, but they don't have the First
00:02:15.660
Amendment in the way we do. I think you look at Canada during COVID, they were going after
00:02:19.500
churches like crazy. And again, I think this is bigger than politics. I think it's spiritual. I
00:02:24.300
think that Canada has an attack on truth across the board. The world is seeing an attack on truth
00:02:29.660
across the board. Tom has been touching on it. And I think it's a spiritual war. If you can
00:02:35.880
destroy the idea of gender, if you can destroy the idea of man having value, woman having value,
00:02:41.960
the sanctity of a child. Like, when you think about how out of control abortion is, all these
00:02:47.680
things and now they're attacking the very scripture that's meant to be spread to protect against those
00:02:52.540
evils they're doing it for a reason and uh that's the thing i fear most in the world and i think
00:02:57.960
people are met now with a binary anyone watching you're met with a binary choice now you're either
00:03:02.120
going to go down the path of moral relativism which will lead you to nihilism a complete
00:03:06.380
destruction of truth and it will leave you in a void that is empty a dark void it will lead to
00:03:11.620
depression we're seeing it it will lead to anxiety it'll lead to all the nihilistic behavior we're
00:03:15.900
seeing or you will head to a path of truth and i think the only light i see in all of this is
00:03:20.680
because of these blatant open attacks on christianity that we're not only seeing in
00:03:24.320
canada we've even seen it in our own country they've gone after churches in our own country
00:03:28.140
um and i think the only benefit to all this is that as that becomes so binary you really do have
00:03:33.880
a choice the choice is presented to you by god now you will either follow me or you will follow
00:03:38.280
that what what were you raised as i was uh born as jewish you're born as jewish when you become
00:03:44.300
a christian well i became an atheist for a while i went through a lot of stuff and then i i had a
00:03:49.980
friend who started telling me hey come to church visit me you know like just try it out i was
00:03:54.360
working on the show loki my friend took me to a monastery silent monastery for for uh monks
00:03:59.560
christian months catholic months and uh it was the first time that i felt at peace in a very long
00:04:04.520
time i've suffered from depression for most of my life i've suffered from anxiety i've drank too
00:04:09.300
much for a big part of my life and this was out of everything i've ever experienced in my life
00:04:13.700
That was the first time that I felt at peace inside.
00:04:24.980
What is the thing that's happening to me that's making me cry?
00:04:31.600
I've been carrying this burden my whole life that it's me.
00:04:35.400
And I finally found a home where I was like, wow, this burden,
00:04:39.980
this relationship with something bigger than myself can finally be shared.
00:04:43.080
And I tell everyone this, there is nothing other than Christianity that will cure alcoholism.
00:04:48.460
There's nothing other than Christianity that will truly clear your depression or whatever you're going through.
00:04:54.960
Because it's a relationship with something bigger than yourself that you can take off yourself and put there.
00:05:02.320
I had a friend who, sorry, not to go on for a long time, but I had a friend who was like, what do you mean you believe in this now?
00:05:07.720
Because when you're raised Jewish, it's very hard for people to hear that you're also doing something like that.
00:05:13.080
And my Jewish identity is still important to me.
00:05:20.940
It makes me a better person, and that's all that matters.
00:05:25.120
I love your story, and I wish that more stories like that were shared.
00:05:28.280
I think that Judaism and Christianity has a bond that should be unbreakable.
00:05:32.900
Without the Old Testament, there's no New Testament.
00:05:36.380
And look, the Crusades were fought between the Christians and the Muslims,
00:05:42.840
because they were always fighting over Jerusalem.
00:06:00.480
other than maybe the Declaration of Independence,
00:06:16.100
friends. I say, why don't you have a little more
00:06:20.020
I don't believe he was God. I said, that doesn't mean you shouldn't have
00:06:33.880
questioning authority, questioning establishment.
00:06:46.920
because we're better together than we are apart.
00:06:56.360
it's millions of people, and that is called radical Islam.
00:07:00.040
The story started out with Nigeria, did it not?
00:07:09.680
didn't you have a shirt he didn't bomb he sent troops okay i thought i thought that they sent
00:07:14.060
troops yeah they said they're sending ground troops i don't know i didn't see so but i thought
00:07:17.600
he did do something in nigeria but i genuine question genuine question don't come at me
00:07:21.960
why should we care about nigeria as americans what do you mean why should we care about nigeria
00:07:27.260
there's so much going on in the world because iran gaza israel is there christian sudan are
00:07:32.440
you actually is it haiti oracle or no i'm asking because these are defenseless christians that are
00:07:38.220
just in churches you're okay praying to hold on you asked me let me finish they're they are
00:07:43.660
worshiping jesus christ and they are all getting massacred and they have nothing they have nobody
00:07:51.160
whatever all these guys are so well islam it's mostly fulani's i swap uh and boko haram is a
00:07:57.920
is an islamic terrorist organization should we just negotiate with them do you think they'll
00:08:02.860
listen or do we have to do something about it no we have to go in and help them but no because
00:08:15.080
boots on the ground in Iran, I thought you said.
00:08:30.880
massacred. They're just out there by themselves.
00:08:32.620
Can't you argue that they're doing the exact same thing in Iran?
00:08:42.740
So there's innocent Christians being killed there, too.
00:08:45.280
So where do you draw the line on boots on the ground?
00:08:49.640
I think it's two completely different things, Adam,
00:08:51.480
because they've been for 47 years under this thing.
00:08:57.360
We're going in, and we went in because Marco Rubio
00:09:06.340
I just want to understand where you draw the line on boots on the ground.
00:09:10.800
By the way, this is a very good sequencing of questions that you're asking.
00:09:15.360
And I think, you know, this exchange right here is what leads to a lot of the arguments.
00:09:22.340
And there's leaks in both sides of the argument.
00:09:24.960
I actually love this exchange that just happened right now.
00:09:27.320
Because it makes us actually think, why are we for in Nigeria but not for Iran?
00:09:34.940
why are we for helping out Gaza but not helping out Iranians?
00:09:41.760
Why are we for helping out Iranians, saving them, but not the people in Gaza?
00:09:46.480
Both sides make the argument in a very – it leads to a leak in the argument of both sides.
00:09:52.900
If you actually think about it, it truly leads to having a leak.
00:09:55.780
Like the guys are like, yeah, you know, it's for Gaza and the Palestine.
00:10:03.160
And the Christians are sometimes, yeah, Iran, we got it.
00:10:10.380
I wonder what you're going to say here yourself.
00:10:12.200
Well, what I was going to say is there are certain just unfortunate realities.
00:10:15.760
The threat from Iran to our ground troops is significantly,
00:10:19.300
and the long-term consequences of a ground invasion in Iran
00:10:29.040
how hard is it to solve the problem and protect people
00:11:09.720
to do what's right sometimes, even if it's hard.
00:11:14.700
with a high benefit to cost compared to Iran at first
00:11:19.880
That doesn't mean, I'm not saying police the world,
00:11:29.280
Yeah. My ultimate point was this. I'm not an isolationist and I'm not a complete interventionist.
00:11:35.260
You know, the whole conversation of America can't police the world. America's not the world's police. Really?
00:11:42.300
Who is? Because if America doesn't have the badge policing the world, who do you want policing the world?
00:11:48.460
You want China policing the world? You want Russia running the world? You want the Islamic Republic of Iran running the world?
00:11:54.160
so in my opinion America should be the policeman of the world we might pull out a NATO NATO
00:12:01.140
hey EU let me know how you're going to work without American funding so as much as we don't
00:12:05.560
want to intervene in every single conflict as much as we don't want boots on the ground
00:12:09.900
