Valuetainment - “Politically Motivated” - Turkey’s Erdogan FURIOUS With Netanyahu For Recognizing Armenian Genocide

00:00:00.000 Breaking news just came about Turkey, furious with the fact that Netanyahu finally recognized

00:00:07.080 the Armenian genocide.

00:00:09.280 This story just dropped right now.

00:00:10.600 So let me give you an idea of what happened yesterday on the podcast with Bibi, Prime

00:00:14.140 Minister Netanyahu, and the conversations that we had.

00:00:16.400 There's a lot of topics.

00:00:17.300 I wish we had two hours.

00:00:18.220 I had a lot of things that I wanted to go through with him.

00:00:19.980 This is specifically the part where I asked him about the Armenian, the Assyrian, and

00:00:26.140 the Greek genocide.

00:00:27.620 And here's what he had to say.

00:00:28.620 Go ahead, Rob.

00:00:29.180 You know, the Holocaust has been recognized by 193 different countries, right?

00:00:34.460 Everybody around the world.

00:00:36.240 And in some countries, if you denied, you could do jail time.

00:00:38.720 Many countries, you can do jail time a year, five years.

00:00:41.620 But for anybody that doesn't recognize Armenian, Assyrian genocide, if there's any country that

00:00:49.020 I would have expected to be on the list that recognized the Armenian and the Assyrian and

00:00:53.620 the Greek genocide, it would be Israel. 0.84

00:00:55.460 Why haven't you yet recognized the Armenian, Assyrian, and the Greek genocide that the

00:01:00.560 Turkish did to that community? 0.98

00:01:05.320 In fact, I think we have, because I think the Knesset passed a resolution to that effect.

00:01:10.420 I don't know if it's come from you, though.

00:01:11.840 I don't know if it's come from the Prime Minister of Israel.

00:01:14.100 Yeah, I just did.

00:01:15.580 Okay.

00:01:15.920 There you go.

00:01:16.360 All right.

00:01:16.820 Well, thank you for doing that.

00:01:18.040 Boom.

00:01:18.840 Okay.

00:01:19.120 Thank you for doing that.

00:01:20.160 I appreciate you.

00:01:21.080 That's important to me.

00:01:22.160 And I'm sure a lot of Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks around the world appreciate you

00:01:26.400 saying that.

00:01:27.100 So that happened yesterday at the end of the podcast with the limited time that we had

00:01:31.740 left.

00:01:32.980 Armenians around the world reacted.

00:01:34.960 Assyrians, even Greeks, there's government official Twitter accounts of all countries

00:01:41.460 have posted on what happened with this.

00:01:44.300 So it's official.

00:01:45.460 They finally recognized, you know, the Assyrian-Armenian genocide as an event that took place.

00:01:52.100 Great.

00:01:52.900 Now, you know, when you do something like that, for many years, Turkey and Israel have had a

00:01:58.960 decent relationship, you know?

00:02:00.860 And Israel's even sold weapons, I think, and helped Azerbaijan.

00:02:04.340 Yes.

00:02:05.000 Azerbaijan's a direct, like, you know, the stuff that they did with Nagorno-Karabakh,

00:02:09.500 Artsakh.

00:02:10.400 This is not a friendly relationship that this was going on.

00:02:13.940 For them to take this position, automatically it shows that their relationship with Turkey

00:02:19.120 is not what it once used to be.

00:02:20.500 Now, this was obviously due to Erdogan.

00:02:22.020 Rob, can you pull up the story?

00:02:23.000 Because I can't see anything here right now.

00:02:24.800 There you go.

00:02:25.200 Turkey slams Netanyahu for politically motivated recognition of Armenian genocide.

00:02:31.700 This is Times of Israel. 0.78

00:02:33.000 If you can go a little bit lower.

00:02:35.520 Turkey rejects remarks by Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday recognized in the genocide.

00:02:39.200 If you can click on the link and go back to it.

00:02:41.680 Yeah, click on that.

00:02:42.280 Just go back to the story.

00:02:43.640 In first, Netanyahu says he recognizes the Armenian genocide.

00:02:47.020 So first, the story was written this morning at midnight.

00:02:50.100 Go back to that.

00:02:51.000 This was written this morning at midnight, 1223 a.m.

00:02:53.500 Go a little bit lower that the prime minister did this, et cetera, et cetera.

00:02:56.780 I think we have.

00:02:58.020 I think the Knesset passed a resolution to that effect.

00:03:01.000 Though no such legislation has been passed into law.

00:03:03.240 Pressed on why Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu responds.

00:03:06.020 I just did.

00:03:06.880 Here you go.

00:03:07.560 Okay, so now go back to the story previous to that with Turkey.

00:03:11.580 So this is the story, if you can allow me to read it.

00:03:14.420 There you go.

00:03:15.220 Netanyahu remarks concerning of the events of 1915.

00:03:18.600 Man, these ads suck on this website.

00:03:20.200 Like, let it go, buddy.

00:03:21.200 We're not going to buy it.

00:03:22.080 Yeah, I don't want it.

00:03:22.700 1915 on an attempt to exploit past tragedies for political motives.

00:03:26.260 Writes Ankara, foreign minister in Turkish language statement, saying we condemn and reject the statement, which is incompatible with historical and legal facts.

00:03:35.020 Turkey repeats his accusation that Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza Strip, saying Netanyahu is on trial for his role in the genocide, committed against the Palestinian people, is attempting to cover up the crimes committed by himself and his government.

00:03:48.180 So now, this story here, starting Uruguay, France, Germany, Canada, Russia, and United States have recognized the Armenian genocide, but Israel has long avoided this step.

00:03:59.320 Though a number of senior politicians have called for the move in recent years, Netanyahu's remarks marks the first time an Israeli prime minister has done so, likely reflecting increasingly poor ties with Turkey, which has long rejected the characterization.

00:04:11.380 Turkish President Erdogan has repeatedly compared Israel to Nazi Germany over its war against Hamas in Gaza.

00:04:20.480 So that's the story that we have there.

00:04:22.260 Now, messaging that came in from Armenians, Assyrians, and Greeks.

00:04:27.060 Armenians, I don't care if he does this, I don't care what's going on, I don't want to hear nothing from him. 1.00

00:04:34.580 Okay, Armenians, oh my God, emotional, can't believe this finally took place. 0.66

00:04:38.860 This is so insane that this is finally happening, we're so happy for you, thank you, we appreciate you.

00:04:43.540 Ahuni, Ahuni, all this, Yekbar, all these messages that are coming.

00:04:47.340 Greeks messaging me saying, dude, I don't even know that you knew that Greeks were involved.

00:04:51.260 We appreciate you for doing that, because if you look at the history, Rob, can you pull up that one thing I sent to Adam yesterday?

00:04:55.520 The picture that he just sent you.

00:04:57.180 I just sent it to him, yeah.

00:04:57.780 Yeah, if you can zoom in on this one, the list of genocides organized by Turkey for the last 200 years, 0.97

00:05:02.400 and some of the stuff you can go verify the numbers, I don't know if it's 100% accurate with the numbers.

00:05:06.640 So you got Greece, you got 50,000, 8750, that's 1823, continues with Mosul, Assyrians, 10,000, goes lower.

00:05:16.940 Armenians, 1,400, 1250, Bulgaria, 14,700, Lebanon, 12,000.

00:05:21.660 All this goes, okay, Armenia, Armenia, Armenia, Armenia, and go to the top right.

00:05:26.100 Okay, over here, Macedonia, 14,000, Sassoon, Armenians, 5,600, Adana, 1909, 13.

00:05:32.300 So Armenia, Western Armenia, 1.5 million.

00:05:36.200 Greece, 150,000, Kars, 100,000, Pontus, 1919, 600,000, Mesopotamia, Assyrians, 750,000 is what these guys did, right?

00:05:47.680 That till today, they don't want to recognize.

00:05:51.540 So I understand that there's a community that really doesn't want to hear anybody because a lot of folks, Vinny, what was your reaction when this happened?

00:05:59.140 When he sat there and said, as an Assyrian yourself.

00:06:03.060 As an Assyrian, it was such a, because think about it, and can I just say something too?

00:06:07.220 For all the people out there, and guess what, Pat?

00:06:09.820 There's no making everybody happy, and we understand that.

00:06:13.180 No matter what you do, if you ask this, this side's going to be furious.

00:06:16.900 If you didn't ask this, the other side's going to get furious.

00:06:19.220 And everybody wants to play, you know, a Monday, Monday day quarterback, Monday morning quarterback.

00:06:23.660 What I'd say, listen, A, we had, how long was the time?

00:06:27.420 40 minutes.

00:06:28.240 40 minutes.

00:06:28.620 But initially, it was, you're only going to be allowed 30, but this guy, he was going.

00:06:33.200 Nope.

00:06:33.680 This is what I had to respect.

00:06:35.460 No calling of, you have to ask this, you can't ask this, you can't do this.

00:06:39.380 It was, we're going to go live, and we're going to ask whatever we want, okay?

00:06:42.340 And in all fairness, we did research, we looked at every other podcast.

00:06:45.800 He's been asked every question that you, the majority of the other side wanted a thousand times.

00:06:51.540 We, you wanted to ask a certain amount of questions.

00:06:53.860 The fact that he recognized it, and it's never been recognized, look at these numbers.

00:06:58.960 And I'm a Syrian, okay?

00:07:01.280 750,000 Assyrians.

00:07:03.240 And then over there in Mosul, another 10,000.

00:07:06.260 Mosul again in 1892, 3,500 Assyrians murdered, okay?

00:07:12.740 Murdered.

00:07:13.160 And I think that moment, and Adam was there, we were all back here in that back room.

00:07:16.620 It was a moment of shock, because the interview was coming to an end.

00:07:20.000 You went past the 30, and I was like, is he even going to be able to ask this?

00:07:23.060 And when you asked it, and there was zero hesitation, I think, even who was the Armenian guy today, Pat?

00:07:27.960 Sako.

00:07:28.780 I saw him on the video.

00:07:29.420 Yeah, Sako, yeah.

00:07:29.780 Sako made a video on how happy, and it's like, guys, anything to getting closer to the truth, I think is amazing.

00:07:37.160 And for a second, my mom called, and she's like, I can't believe that he actually made him say it out of his words.

00:07:42.540 Because the initial was the what?

00:07:43.680 The Knesset recognized it, but when you said, no, no, you haven't done it.

00:07:47.200 I think it's holding his foot to the fire, and I loved it.

00:07:49.140 Well, I'll just be complete full disclosure here.

00:07:52.360 We did a prep to discuss the interview with Patrick and Bibi, and we were all deciding on topics we want to go over.

00:08:00.140 And I said, Pat, what is your ultimate goal for doing the podcast?

00:08:04.820 And, you know, you talk about we all have our biases.

00:08:08.740 You know, Pat said very selfishly, I have one goal.

00:08:10.560 I want Bibi Netanyahu to recognize the Armenian genocide, straight up.

00:08:17.420 And then from there, we can talk Iran, we can talk Gaza, we can talk United States, we can talk AIPAC.

00:08:21.960 But that was your goal.

00:08:23.380 And I respect the hell out of that.

00:08:24.700 Because you're Armenian, and you're Assyrian. 0.97

00:08:27.960 So, and I said to you, I have an assumption that he might go along with this.

00:08:32.760 Why?

00:08:33.140 Because what's been preventing this is their relationship with Turkey.

00:08:36.700 And Turkey's in NATO, and there's alliances.

00:08:39.120 But here's what we know about alliances and enemies.

00:08:41.500 Yesterday's enemies can become today's allies.

00:08:44.420 You know, the friend of a friend is an enemy, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend.

00:08:47.080 And alliances these days aren't necessarily about love.

00:08:51.120 It's about survival and leverage.

00:08:53.700 And that's what's going on in the world.

00:08:54.840 So you have Erdogan right here, who's basically calling Israel a genocidal regime.

00:09:00.360 And usually when someone's saying things like that, they fail to look in the mirror.

00:09:04.800 Because if you look at these stats here from Turkey on the forgotten world war, World War I,

00:09:09.520 everyone's obviously focused on World War II.

00:09:11.340 How many million people died in the Armenian, Assyrian, Greek genocide?

00:09:17.680 Millions?

00:09:18.540 We don't talk about this.

00:09:19.900 World War I is sort of a forgotten war.

00:09:21.420 Everyone focuses on World War II, and I understand why Jews are very sensitive about the Holocaust,

00:09:26.200 six million Jews.

00:09:27.620 But the world of geopolitics is the world place, and we're seeing,

00:09:31.560 and this is what's incredible about what we're doing here at Valuetainment.

00:09:34.560 We're not just watching the world change.

00:09:36.920 We're actually effectuating change.

00:09:39.140 We're seeing articles.

00:09:40.320 Patrick Bet-David interviews Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,

00:09:43.760 and Benjamin Netanyahu admits to, acknowledges Armenian genocide.

00:09:50.120 What?

00:09:51.520 You know, you always say things like, look, we're just business guys doing a podcast here.

00:09:55.880 But the reality is you saw a place in the market that was open for real conversations.

00:10:01.360 We saw on the left it was weird and woke and ideologically corrupt.

00:10:05.980 We saw on the right that there's a lot of people who are people that are basically distasteful

00:10:12.820 and not exactly welcoming of immigrants, but we're having conversations with people.

00:10:16.620 Once a year we get together, I can't wait to see everybody this year.
