Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif killed an Israel attack in Gaza City.
00:00:05.860
And so a 28-year-old well-known Arabic correspondent who reported extensively from northern Gaza was killed
00:00:14.300
in what appears to be a targeted Israel attack on a 10-4 journalist outside the main gate of Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza City
00:00:22.700
as confirmed by the hospital direct to Al Jazeera.
00:00:25.020
Media network denounced the attack stating it was yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom
00:00:31.440
amid the catastrophic consequences of the ongoing Israel assault on Gaza
00:00:35.020
which has seen the relentless slaughter of civilians, forced starvation, and the obliteration of entire communities.
00:00:43.720
The Israel military admitted targeting Al-Sharif, claiming in a statement he served as the head of a terrorist cell
00:00:50.660
in the Hamas terrorist organization and was responsible for advancing rocket attacks against Israel's civilians
00:00:59.600
Well, there's a lot of sources that came out overnight.
00:01:05.900
You would expect people are going to say, oh, of course the IDF says that he was there.
00:01:11.360
But there are other sources that are in here too that maybe they're just repeating the IDF.
00:01:15.480
But there's information, and people appear to be publishing receipts here of, you know, databases
00:01:23.100
And by the way, regardless of how you feel about this and journalists in war, which is a different topic,
00:01:30.440
on this particular one, they're pointing out that, you know, in the dirty trick department,
00:01:40.480
And hiding behind civilians, hiding in hospitals, under hospitals, posing as doctors, and posing as media,
00:01:53.400
And so would it surprise me that this journalist was actually a leader of a minor cell?
00:02:02.420
And when his cover got blown, then people are saying, oh, it's a smear campaign by Israelis.
00:02:13.340
And so what I mean, outed as a member of Hamas.
00:02:30.300
The guy that just was, we just saw that Rob showed.
00:02:37.140
Well, regardless, here's what's happening right now.
00:02:41.200
I just went on Amazon and I just bought a nice little journalist press kit for $19.99.
00:02:47.600
What I've realized is this is I don't emotionally react to stories that come out good, bad, or ugly.
00:02:54.560
Do I want to see actual journalists reporting actual real news die?
00:03:01.980
I do not want anybody dead, innocent journalists whatsoever.
00:03:06.160
But what I've realized is that there's a lot of propaganda and there's a lot of people who are embedded in society here who are honoring the Hamas.
00:03:18.240
This guy right here after a cover of honor to stand with our crowns.
00:03:22.100
So whether it was this journalist or the journalist you're speaking about or any other journalist, this is who they are.
00:03:27.780
I remember a story of a journalist was found in Gaza and they were like, oh, my God, we captured this guy.
00:03:39.720
So just because you're a journalist doesn't mean you're immune from accountability.
00:03:45.700
And they weren't being interviewed about the horrors of war.
00:03:52.940
Whether it was him or whether it was his best friend, the reality is this.
00:03:55.760
Oh, so just kill him if that's his best friend?
00:04:08.800
I don't want to see innocent people die at all.
00:04:11.900
Unfortunately, it's kill or be killed in the Middle East.
00:04:17.340
And the woke West and the woke right just don't understand these people are coming to kill you.
00:04:30.820
What's the thing that you said right before about the...
00:04:34.740
They said that they did it because they were targeting him?
00:04:38.160
What I'm asking is, did they say that they were targeting him after the fact?
00:04:46.060
I don't sit in the car and watch the news on the way here.
00:04:48.420
I actually stay up until 1 o'clock in the morning and I actually do my research.
00:04:58.480
I love the fact that when you're just asking questions, I'm either a Hamas supporter
00:05:18.200
If you have nothing to hide, let us see what the hell's going on.
00:05:21.040
Because these reporters work for a company called Al Jazeera.
00:05:25.680
You don't just bomb attention to people next to a hospital and then just go, yeah, he worked
00:05:33.320
But what I'm saying is if you're not letting...
00:05:50.700
There's another media outlet that was Maya TV or everything, and it may be parroting
00:05:56.100
the IDF thing, but there's people that are out there publishing receipts on this that
00:06:02.980
I don't know the validity of it, but you know what?
00:06:11.200
Is this the first reporter to die in the armed engagement over there?
00:06:20.020
So let's assume they're a reporter, not the first.
00:06:34.040
Like somebody shook up a root beer and opened it.
00:06:38.400
It only killed five reporters reporting on what's happening on the ground.
00:06:42.480
It kind of bothers me that there's so much buzz on this reporter.
00:06:50.520
I think it's just for the past two weeks, all I've been hearing and seeing is...
00:06:54.460
Are you saying like this is a George Floyd thing they're capitalizing off of?
00:06:58.600
And why is there so much buzz on this guy to say, unless the IDF is just doing the most amazing marketing between Saturday and Sunday, pushing out all these fake receipts and everybody else is pushing them, Pat?
00:07:14.520
Why is it so important to say that this reporter was there?
00:07:26.200
Do you trust the report coming out of Gaza, Palestine more than reports coming from Israel?
00:07:34.500
I don't think you believe anything Israel says.
00:07:38.860
I don't believe anything unless I'm shown the evidence, okay?
00:07:45.780
Like, I've never heard you make a pro-Israel argument, ever.
00:07:51.000
I've never heard you make a pro-Israel argument.
00:07:52.920
So to me, the reason why I'm going with this is the following.
00:07:57.960
So for me, if you came in, notice what I said when we were prepping.
00:08:03.120
I said, is it true that Israel the last two years has killed the most journalists?
00:08:08.820
I'm the one that asked that question this morning, pre-getting started.
00:08:24.220
Top three countries were Syria, Israel, and us, right?
00:08:28.700
But I think the part that, you know, you lose is when it's no matter what, it's all one side.
00:08:45.780
I'm like, what is Adam defending Nick Fuentes on?
00:08:48.860
He's like, I got more respect for Nick Fuentes than anybody else that's saying stuff that they're saying about Israel.
00:08:56.200
More respect for Nick versus Tucker, is what I think is what I said.
00:09:05.080
And Nick has been saying what he's been saying a lot longer than they have been saying it.
00:09:14.060
Yeah, I think the biggest thing here is, you know, it's almost become like if a white man is killed by a black man, CNN won't report on it.
00:09:25.440
But if, God forbid, Jussie Smollett, anything George Floyd, oh my God, boom, it's going on.
00:09:30.920
You have to find a way to, because if I, look what's going on right now in Europe.
00:09:47.380
No, they're going to come here surrounding you, and then they're going to try to target here.
00:09:52.200
What is another guy that I think when I was watching this video?
00:09:56.480
I don't even know if we want to play this clip.
00:09:59.540
It's just a lot of stuff like this that you can see.
00:10:01.420
But to me, you have to be very careful that you only follow accounts.
00:10:09.940
Like when I wake up in the morning, what account do I go and watch to see what they're saying?
00:10:14.980
Because I want to see what counter-arguments are being made there.
00:10:21.580
But if you wake up and you just go to a couple things of guys you follow, because that's what you want to hear, because it validates what you believe in, you'll end up having a lot of blind spots.
00:10:35.600
So I'm not sitting here telling you I don't have any biases.
00:10:37.420
But if I have to choose between the two, it's not even close to conversation of what's going to be happening.
00:10:46.740
And even yesterday, Trump said that they're going to take over Gaza.
00:10:52.060
Trump just said, yeah, how are you going to take over Gaza?
00:11:02.440
I don't even know what he's doing behind closed doors.
00:11:06.160
We don't even know what things are taking place.
00:11:08.760
But we have to be very careful that the only thing we ever, ever see is this the one, Rob?
00:11:23.480
You won't be able to force them to leave the land.
00:11:25.960
We're moving them to a beautiful location where they have new homes, where they can live safely,
00:11:32.600
where they'll have doctors and medical and all of those things.
00:11:41.820
And today you just said we're not going to buy Gaza.
00:12:07.520
So with so many opinions out there, I mean, if you asked me 10 years ago if I would just trust Trump's instincts,
00:12:16.320
At this point, if there's one person who has all the information, whose instincts that I trust,
00:12:33.800
I think you just, you know, it's very, very hard.
00:12:39.680
You know how you go to see what stories you're tagged on?
00:12:44.100
You don't even know what's going on over here, what they're doing.
00:12:46.920
I'm like, yeah, you're going to only send me one side.
00:12:58.040
But, you know, these are people that are in Israel saying, you don't even know what they're doing to the Christians and to this and this.
00:13:08.600
And I understand why you're sending me the clips to say what, you know, Palestinians are doing to Christians and Jews.
00:13:13.920
And I understand why you would send me the clips to say what Jews are doing to Gaza and Palestinians.
00:13:18.600
You have to find a way to not be emotionally caught up because then you are a victim of propaganda and they got you.
00:13:32.100
And I'm seeing, believe it or not, more and more people now kind of stepping away and saying, oh, shit, I got a little bit in too deep here.
00:13:40.660
Let me step back a little bit and see what happened.
00:13:44.040
Neither side is innocent, but this side is definitely not innocent.
00:13:49.420
If they're so great, why isn't nobody else from the other side taking them?
00:13:54.400
And I get that, you know, the motive of the other side where they're at, what they're up to.
00:14:00.840
But you have to be very, very careful that you only see and hear and read what you want to see and read that validates your point.
00:14:20.940
One of the best things about this exercise of sitting with the guys last week, this whatever, not last week.
00:14:33.480
But to sit and talk to all these other guys that are students.
00:14:37.260
It's also to see, okay, that's an interesting argument.
00:14:42.420
Like, I myself have things to go look into after the conversation with them.
00:14:50.120
One of the guys had a good point that I brought him back at the end to debate it.
00:14:52.640
But I can't just go thinking, I'm going to beat everybody in this.
00:15:25.940
And the other one is, this is limited edition, 100% leather, Valuetainment bag that's out here.
00:15:35.380
Feel the quality on how the leather feels, by the way.
00:15:43.760
And then when you open it up, when you open it up, inside of it, you will see Future Looks Bride right here.
00:15:52.400
And by the way, the other day, Michael Beasley was doing a podcast.
00:15:55.460
We're not seeing people actually wearing a Future Looks Bride hat all over the place.
00:16:00.200
NBA player number two pick of the draft many years ago by the Miami Heat.
00:16:03.840
I can't wait to see millions on top of millions.
00:16:07.580
I get so many people on X who are posting pictures while they watch this podcast.
00:16:11.480
And they'll tell me how they're watching the podcast.
00:16:12.840
But they'll say, man, look at my Future Looks Bride hat.
00:16:17.920
More importantly, we need to convert more people that are coming here.
00:16:21.180
We were just in L.A. this last weekend for, what do you call it, that show that happens.
00:16:27.260
You know the guy that sits in the middle and 20 people grill you?
00:16:35.420
And it'll be released in the next four to six weeks.
00:16:39.940
But the whole premise is we need more people thinking the future looks bright instead of being victims.
