Speaker 1: Tragedy strikes a HBBAD Hanika celebration down in Sydney, Australia.
Speaker 1: US soldiers murdered in Syria for the first time in
Speaker 1: six years, a horrific shooting at Brown University. Just an awful,
Speaker 1: violence ridden weekend. In general, there's something of a common
Speaker 1: denominator weaving its way through these various storylines. We will
Speaker 1: unpack that and much more in today's episode of The
Speaker 1: Josh Embers Show.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Unspeakable tragedy striking in the heart of Sydney, Australia on Sunday.
Speaker 1: A terrorist attack and yes it is a terrorist attack,
Speaker 1: happened at Bondai Beach, one of the most well known
Speaker 1: beaches and not the single most well known beach in
Speaker 1: the entire nation of Australia, one of the more iconic
Speaker 1: beaches in the world. I do not think that as
Speaker 1: much of an exaggeration. So Kabad, which is an Orthodox
Speaker 1: Jewish organization, like many other Jews, I have been very,
Speaker 1: very familiar with Kabbad over the years. I attend their
Speaker 1: synagogues with some degree of regularity. Very well known organization,
Speaker 1: and the HBBAD outlet there in a Bondai Beach hosted
Speaker 1: this a large event on the beach. There were daytime festivities,
Speaker 1: there was an ice cream truck, all sorts of children's games,
Speaker 1: ultimately culminating that evening and the ushering in of the
Speaker 1: actual first evening of Hanukkah and what was supposed to
Speaker 1: be the lighting of the minora of the iconic candle
Speaker 1: Apram that is the universal symbol of the Hanakah holiday.
Speaker 1: And tragically those who were congregated there at Bandai Beach
Speaker 1: and not get that opportunity because there was a father
Speaker 1: and son, a father and son, a father who initially
Speaker 1: came over from Pakistan on a student visa and the
Speaker 1: son who was born there in Australia radicalized. Pakistani's father
Speaker 1: and son d a shot up and murdered. As of
Speaker 1: this count and estimated fifteen people. That number tragically could rise.
Speaker 1: We of course earnestly pray that it does not do so.
Speaker 1: So at least fifteen people murdered, forty injured. The graphics,
Speaker 1: the images, the video absolutely appalling, horrific stuff really was.
Speaker 1: It reminds you, it has to remind you of the
Speaker 1: Nova Music Festival. Frankly on October seven, twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: and it's just awful, It is just unspeakably awful. Among
Speaker 1: those who are murdered, you had a Holocaust survivor who
Speaker 1: was murdered. He was murdered actually apparently when he was
Speaker 1: protecting his wife. He dove over his wife to protect
Speaker 1: her from the Muslim assassins of bullets, and he perished. Incidentally,
Speaker 1: this is the second time that a Holocaust survivor has
Speaker 1: been lethally targeted and indeed killed actually by a radical
Speaker 1: Muslim fanatic, just this year. If you have a long
Speaker 1: enough memory, you might recall that in Boulder, Colorado, back
Speaker 1: in May or June or so, there was a Jewish solidarity,
Speaker 1: a hostage solidarity gathering in Boulder, Colorado, the infamously liberal
Speaker 1: suburb of Denver, Colorado. And at that time you had
Speaker 1: an Egyptian national, radical Muslim who took a Molotov cocktail
Speaker 1: and ended up burning a ton of people, including murdering
Speaker 1: a Holocaust Survivor's another first time that a Holocaust survivor
Speaker 1: has been struck by a radical Muslim terrorist attack. Just
Speaker 1: this year. The assistant rabbi I believe he was of
Speaker 1: the actual Habbad of Bondai Beach was tragically murdered as well.
Speaker 1: He leaves behind a wife, children as young as as
Speaker 1: just a couple months old. It is heartbreaking stuff and
Speaker 1: it is truly heart rendering stuff.
Speaker 2: There.
Speaker 1: Perhaps the saddest part of all, and the most frustrating
Speaker 1: part of all, is that this massacre, and yes it
Speaker 1: was a radical Muslim massacre, yet another one, the deadliest
Speaker 1: terrorist attack, the deadliest active mass violence in Australia since
Speaker 1: the Port Arthur massacre twenty nine years ago. We'll get
Speaker 1: to that in just a second. Also the most lethful
Speaker 1: attack against the Jewish people since October seven, twenty twenty three.
Speaker 1: Not that all of those who were slain were Jewish,
Speaker 1: by the way, It's been pretty much impossible to try
Speaker 1: to figure that out, but it certainly seems that it
Speaker 1: was a mix of Jews and non Jews, Christian etc.
Speaker 1: Who were slain their Bondai Beach. Again, there was a
Speaker 1: hubbat events for the first night of Hanukkah, and there
Speaker 1: certainly were plenty dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of Jews that
Speaker 1: were congregated there. But it is just an extremely popular,
Speaker 1: well known towards attraction there, and the fact that you
Speaker 1: have radical Muslim terrorists striking in the heart of this
Speaker 1: iconic beach, in the heart of Sinney is just an awful, awful, awful,
Speaker 1: awful thing, not just from a human perspective, which it
Speaker 1: obviously is. And as we say in Judaism, may God
Speaker 1: avenge their blood. That's actually what we traditionally say when
Speaker 1: you have Jews who are murdered for their Judaism. So
Speaker 1: if someone just passes away, you typically say, may his
Speaker 1: memory be a blessing. But when someone is murdered because
Speaker 1: of their religion and therefore they achieve martyr status, we
Speaker 1: actually say, may God avenge their blood. That sign might
Speaker 1: sound a little old school for those with virgin ears,
Speaker 1: let's say, but that is what we say, and we
Speaker 1: happen to mean it when we say it. But again,
Speaker 1: the victims here where we're not just Jewish. And that's
Speaker 1: kind of the broader point that I would like to
Speaker 1: make here is twofold one. On the one hand, this
Speaker 1: was tragically, completely unsurprising, totally unsurprising. I did an event.
Speaker 1: I did an event maybe a year and a half
Speaker 1: two years ago with an organization down there in Australia,
Speaker 1: a Virtual Zoom event. This organization is called the AJA,
Speaker 1: the Australian Jewish Association. They are a group of right
Speaker 1: wing conservative Jews there in Australia. They are profoundly opposed
Speaker 1: to the left wing Labor government under the horrific, horrific
Speaker 1: leadership of the absolute adult, ignoring us of a Prime
Speaker 1: Minister Anthony Albanies, who has gone above and beyond, above
Speaker 1: and beyond to demean and to belittle and to fail
Speaker 1: to secure the basic civil, moral and human rights of
Speaker 1: the Jews there in Australia. That is non exaggeration. They've
Speaker 1: been glaring five alarm fire, massive warning signs of this
Speaker 1: for years, years and years. When my wife's best friends
Speaker 1: and her husband live in the Melbourne Australia Jewish community
Speaker 1: in Melbourne has I think I believe it's actually an
Speaker 1: even bigger Jewish community than Syney, Australia. There was an
Speaker 1: arson attack and a synagogue in Melbourne, Australia, another kosher
Speaker 1: food kitchen that was targeted by the way both of
Speaker 1: those attacks and ended up being we subtly learned were
Speaker 1: state sponsor attacks by the Iranian regime. So there was
Speaker 1: there was foreign Muslim orchestrated terror in in Australia. And
Speaker 1: what I've heard from my wife's friends there, what I've
Speaker 1: heard from this organization a JA, the Australia Jewish Association,
Speaker 1: just from all sorts of others there. My good friend
Speaker 1: Dave Rubin recently did two weeks down Australia where he
Speaker 1: was taking his show on the road to both Melbourne
Speaker 1: and Sydney. I heard this from Dave over and over
Speaker 1: and over and again. Everyone talked to there. They were
Speaker 1: screaming about the rising threat of radical Muslim Muslim extremism
Speaker 1: they are in Australia, and the fact that this horrifically
Speaker 1: left wing anti Semitic pro Arab government, the Albanese governments,
Speaker 1: was doing nothing, literally nothing to secure the Jewish community naturally. Again,
Speaker 1: if you recall, Australia was actually one of the leaders
Speaker 1: three months ago at the September gathering of the Nine
Speaker 1: Nations General Assembly, Australia was one of the leaders trying
Speaker 1: to push the Palestinian statehood narrative. Australia did that along
Speaker 1: with the liberal Carnei government in Canada, the liberal Starmer
Speaker 1: government in the United Kingdom, Macrone's friends, and various other kuntries. Well,
Speaker 1: Australia was right there. Do you not see the direct
Speaker 1: correlation that when you push the reventious hegemonical subjugationists, ahistorical
Speaker 1: and historically illiterate narrative of so called alleged quote unquote
Speaker 1: Palestinian Arab nationalism, do not see the direct fault line
Speaker 1: between that and murder? When you say globalizing depada, that
Speaker 1: is what globalized the indefada looks like. Globalize the Intpada
Speaker 1: looks like a Pakistani father and a son. They're on
Speaker 1: Bondai beach mowing people down. That is globalizing defada. Globalizing
Speaker 1: defada is what happens when in Washington, DC earlier this
Speaker 1: year got those two Israelly embassy staffers murdered by a
Speaker 1: free Palestine students were justin Palestine, radical Marxist communists from Chicago.
Speaker 1: That is what globalized the into Fada looks like. Unless
Speaker 1: you think that globalized the Intofada is just coming for
Speaker 1: the Jews, I assure you that it is not just
Speaker 1: over the weekend. As well, they stopped another imminent Christmas
Speaker 1: market slaughter in Germany, Christmas market Christians in Germany from
Speaker 1: radical Muslims. Stop me if you think you're having deja
Speaker 1: vus you're not. This actually just happened last year. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's happened many times in Europe over the past ten
Speaker 1: to fifteen years, especially since Angela Merkel, in all of
Speaker 1: her utter idiocy, let in a million plus Syrian quote
Speaker 1: unquote refugees aka male economic migrants around a decade ago.
Speaker 1: So there was another horrific attack just last year. This
Speaker 1: happens actually in a German market in a town called
Speaker 1: Magdeburg that killed six people a time. Just over the weekend,
Speaker 1: German intelligence, coordinating with some other foreign stand intelligence, stopped
Speaker 1: another imminent Christmas market slaughter. This one was believed to
Speaker 1: have been planned for the Munich suburbs so in southern
Speaker 1: Germany Bavaria, the Munich suburb of dingolfing landaut And this
Speaker 1: involved three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian national. They
Speaker 1: were all detained on Friday over planning to target a
Speaker 1: market in Bavaria in southern Germany. By the way, the
Speaker 1: Egyptian who was believed to be the ring leader of
Speaker 1: this was actually an emam at a local mosque. Now
Speaker 1: taking it back to Bondai Beach, Australia, it is true
Speaker 1: that one of the individuals who bravely and courageously and
Speaker 1: I am not be leading this in this size. This
Speaker 1: is genuine human courage. One of the individuals who stopped
Speaker 1: this slaughter after allegedly the police just stood on. We're
Speaker 1: hearing a lot of mixed reports that about it is
Speaker 1: how the police failed to take appropriate action in the
Speaker 1: heat of the moment there in Australia. Will continue to
Speaker 1: come back to the story as we glean more information,
Speaker 1: but I'm starting to see a lot of reports and
Speaker 1: indeed some images on Instagram and videos are reels of
Speaker 1: the police just standing around as the shooting gun underway.
Speaker 1: That's rather cres put in mildly. So as the shooting
Speaker 1: in Bondai Beach starts, you do have one individual, a
Speaker 1: Muslim guy named Auchment Ahmed. He is a local fruit
Speaker 1: stand vendor who actually then tackles the assailant, not armed himself,
Speaker 1: manages to rest the gun away. He is now hospitalized
Speaker 1: with some minor injuries. We wish him nothing but a
Speaker 1: full recovery because that is a heroic action there. And
Speaker 1: I have seen a lot of folks now start to
Speaker 1: say that this is this is actually Islam, that what
Speaker 1: akamedal Achman did is actually Islam there? And rather, what
Speaker 1: the what the what the Pakistani national assassin and his
Speaker 1: Australian born Pakistani immigrant child son did that that is
Speaker 1: not actually Islam. In fact, there is a member of
Speaker 1: the British Parliament, a muzzle promontarian in Westminster, in the
Speaker 1: name of Annan Hussein, who said the quote the horrific
Speaker 1: terror attack of Bandai Beach should not be exploited to
Speaker 1: vilify a faith or its followers. The only Islaman display
Speaker 1: was embodied by Ahmed as opposed to the actual assassin
Speaker 1: and his son, Navid Akram and Khalid al Nabulsi. That
Speaker 1: strikes me as a highly suspect claim. All you have
Speaker 1: to do is go back and look at what radical
Speaker 1: jihadis say in the moment that they are committing atrocities.
Speaker 1: They say Ala hu Akbar is what we know they
Speaker 1: say because they we hear it, they film. It is
Speaker 1: a universally known thing that when a radical Muslim commits
Speaker 1: acts an act of jihad, he is saying Al hu
Speaker 1: Akbar all praise to Allah. Does that sound like someone
Speaker 1: who is not acting according to how he sincerely believes
Speaker 1: that what his religion preaches him. We're not going to
Speaker 1: do a deep dive on chronic interpretation on this particular
Speaker 1: episode the Josh Hammer Show, but the Qoran is replete
Speaker 1: with examples of this. The Qoran commands in pretty explicit
Speaker 1: terms that you shall quote kill them wherever you find them,
Speaker 1: speaking of infidels Morge generally and above all the Jews,
Speaker 1: who are repeatedly singled out by the Koran and by
Speaker 1: the Hadith the ritus around the Koran as the enemies
Speaker 1: of Islam. Indeed, Chapter five, verse eighty two says that
Speaker 1: the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims. This
Speaker 1: is all throughout the so called religion and peace. It's
Speaker 1: all throughout there. Unfortunately, the immediate reactor that we've seen
Speaker 1: from the atle brained left wing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
Speaker 1: and the rest of the sclerotic leadership there in Cranberra.
Speaker 1: They are now talking about greater gun control, as if Australia, Australia,
Speaker 1: aust freak, Australia does not have enough gun control. For
Speaker 1: those of us who have follows the second men of
Speaker 1: debate closely here in the United States, Australia is like
Speaker 1: these singular entry that the American left most loves to
Speaker 1: point to as embodying what their gun confiscation program looks like.
Speaker 1: Because the last time that Australia had a tragedy on
Speaker 1: this scale the Port Arthur massacre back in April of
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, in which thirty five people were killed
Speaker 1: in additional twenty three or wounded. It is to this day,
Speaker 1: unless the Bondei Beach death toll exponentially arises, that Port
Speaker 1: Arthur or twenty one years ago remains the deadliest mass
Speaker 1: shooting in Australian history. So after that, the Australian program
Speaker 1: infamously commences a massive national gun confiscation program, one of
Speaker 1: the largest in modern world history. They are infamous for this.
Speaker 1: The National Firearms buy Back Program, which ran for about
Speaker 1: a year from October nine ninety six through September nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety seven, retrieved nearly seven hundred thousand guns. There was
Speaker 1: also an additional handgun buy back in two thousand and
Speaker 1: three that retrieved an additional sixty nine to seventy thousand guns.
Speaker 1: Give her to they compensated the gun owners because Australia's
Speaker 1: Constitution does not have a second Amendment, so they can
Speaker 1: actually do this on their own constitutional terms, as long
Speaker 1: as you provide just compensation by whatever version of due
Speaker 1: process they have there and just didn't stop this massacre.
Speaker 1: The notion that gun control is a solution in Australia
Speaker 1: is so wildly out of touch with what Australia actually
Speaker 1: is and the laws on the books that one barely
Speaker 1: even knows how to begin going about confronting this if
Speaker 1: this can happen in Australia. Simply put, the issue is
Speaker 1: not guns. The issue is something else. Wink wink, nudge, nudge.
Speaker 1: I think you probably know what that something else is.
Speaker 1: Here a cenator at Bill Cassidy over the weekend on CNN,
Speaker 1: talking about this exact issue.
Speaker 2: I would say that after the shooting and Texas and
Speaker 2: the Valdi Congress passed a Safer Communities Act on a
Speaker 2: bipartisan basis, that I create many things that would address
Speaker 2: all the issues of which she speaks. Now, if she's
Speaker 2: going to say, wait a second, we need gun control laws,
Speaker 2: there is the also shooting we just occurred in Australia
Speaker 2: in which there are gun control laws, and yet this
Speaker 2: still occurred. Again, we don't know the facts of this,
Speaker 2: but in the Avaldi shooting, we addressed not just mental illness,
Speaker 2: but also background checks, also the girlfriend loophole, other things
Speaker 2: that would attempt to address this. And I would argue
Speaker 2: that if the facts are known, you will see the
Speaker 2: Congress has acted.
Speaker 1: So Cassie, they're talking about not just the tragy in Australia,
Speaker 1: but also the shooting in Brown University, which we'll get
Speaker 1: to hear in just one of moments. But he's clearly
Speaker 1: credited that gun control is not the issue. It's Australia.
Speaker 1: It is like the Bernie Sanders far left, aoc Jasmine
Speaker 1: Crockett fantasy. I mean, this is like their dream land.
Speaker 1: Their utopia is Australia where you where you have no
Speaker 1: segmenting and you literally go about buying back all the guns.
Speaker 1: And it happened because the issue is not the guns.
Speaker 1: The issue are the radical Muslims, the Muslims who commit
Speaker 1: acts in the name of Islam, in the name of Allah,
Speaker 1: who think that they are acting according to the dictates
Speaker 1: and tenants of their faith, whether you would like to
Speaker 1: think so, whether you would care to acknowledge it or not.
Speaker 1: That is why this keeps on happening. Center Bill Hagerty
Speaker 1: of Tennessee had a much more sober assessment. Let's go
Speaker 1: ahead and watch Center Hagerty from over the weekend as well.
Speaker 3: Well. It's again a shocking revelation here of what's happened
Speaker 3: in Australia. There have been many complaints about the immigration
Speaker 3: policies there in Australia. I think that the government there
Speaker 3: is going to have to address this head on. There's
Speaker 3: an amazing amount of anti Semitism around the world that
Speaker 3: we're seeing emerge. Again. You mentioned social media activating it,
Speaker 3: but there have been massive movements of people that absolute
Speaker 3: I want to see death Israel and death to America
Speaker 3: for that matter. This transpiring in Australia at a holy time,
Speaker 3: at the beginning of Hanukkah is just shocking. Again. We
Speaker 3: need to get to the bottom of it. The Australian
Speaker 3: government needs to come together and stop this sort of
Speaker 3: antisemitic behavior. And as the United States of America the
Speaker 3: leader in that region, we need to be supportive of
Speaker 3: these efforts.
Speaker 1: Folks, If guns were the issue, then we wouldn't be
Speaker 1: stopping these Christmas market attacks in Germany where the weapons
Speaker 1: are not guns but vehicles. How many Christmas market car
Speaker 1: ramming attacks have we had in Europe over the past
Speaker 1: decade and a half two decades, You're literally about to
Speaker 1: have one more. Heck, it's not just Europe. There was
Speaker 1: another car ramming mass Jihattis slaughter on Bourbon Street in
Speaker 1: New Orleans last New Year's Day in the wee hours
Speaker 1: of the morning, around two thirty three in the morning
Speaker 1: local time, New Orleans. A radicalized muzzle and a lone wolf,
Speaker 1: as often said from Houston, Texas, drives to New Orleans,
Speaker 1: takes his car guzzles down people, most of them over
Speaker 1: on Bourbon streets. You want to have common sense car control,
Speaker 1: common sense knife control. What is this? The issue is
Speaker 1: a stubborn refusal to recognize that not all cultures are equal,
Speaker 1: Not all cultures are equal, not all values, customs, folk ways,
Speaker 1: ways of life, ways to express your religion. It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful time of the year where we have just started
Speaker 1: the Hanakah holiday. Jews are expressing their faith. Christians have
Speaker 1: Christmas coming up very imminently here. They will be glorifying
Speaker 1: and expressing their faith. And a lot of Muslims are
Speaker 1: now mowing people down. Is that their way of expressing
Speaker 1: their faith? I don't particularly care what the answer is.
Speaker 1: I don't particularly care what you think the answer is.
Speaker 1: The relevant point is that they think they think that's
Speaker 1: the answer. It's just utterly a point. And also this week,
Speaker 1: and I mean talk about a confluence of events, two
Speaker 1: US soldiers and a civilian interpreter murdered in Syria. These
Speaker 1: are the first US Armed forces deaths in Sirius in
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, killed by a suspected ISIS infiltrator inside what
Speaker 1: was supposed to be an Allied Syrian fighting force. Well,
Speaker 1: that's deeply problematic. We're talking just the other day about
Speaker 1: al Shara, the former pripateetic al Qaeda Jihadis turned statesmen
Speaker 1: into Maascus. How many more infiltrators, whether it's al Qaeda
Speaker 1: or ISIS do we have on the prow now in
Speaker 1: Syria the same regime that plenty of Westerners, unfortunately, including
Speaker 1: the trumpministration, are now recognizing as being now Western aligned.
Speaker 1: We're getting rid of these Caesar sanctions on Syria. Horrible,
Speaker 1: absolutely horrible. May these soldiers' memories be an absolute blessing.
Speaker 1: It is just horrific, horrific stuff, horrific. Another act of
Speaker 1: violence as well at Brown University over the weekend. It
Speaker 1: was they were preparing for a final exam for an
Speaker 1: economics course, and in the final review session before the
Speaker 1: final in the economics course, someone goes in there and
Speaker 1: starts shooting. At least two dead, these nine others wounded.
Speaker 1: The original individual who's arrested has since been released. So
Speaker 1: a total failure of law enforcement eureally reminiscent to an
Speaker 1: extent of those first hours. Indeed, that first day, day
Speaker 1: and a half or so after Charlie kurssassination in Utah
Speaker 1: September where they initially brun the wrong person and released
Speaker 1: him as well, So in early time, total failure of
Speaker 1: law enforcement in Providence, Massachusetts. Now it's worth noting, it's
Speaker 1: worth them Now, we don't know who the individual was here,
Speaker 1: we don't know the motive or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: it is worth noting that this class and this class
Speaker 1: was clearly targeted in an obscure building on Brown University's campus.
Speaker 1: Is worth noting that the professor, the professor who was
Speaker 1: teaching this Principles of Economics introductory course is a Jewish
Speaker 1: woman named Rachel Friedberg. She is a professor in economics
Speaker 1: and also a faculty associated in the Brown University program
Speaker 1: for Judaic Studies. Now again we don't have the suspect
Speaker 1: by definition. This is due to the early failure of
Speaker 1: law enforcement. God willing, we will find that some of
Speaker 1: you know what and chargeman arrest him asap. But it's
Speaker 1: hard not to connect the dots. It's hard not to
Speaker 1: speculate that this very well might have been a motivating
Speaker 1: factor or the motive mating factor perhaps in this particular tragedy.
Speaker 1: We will learn more soon. By the way, another related
Speaker 1: thing breaking over the weekend as well as if that
Speaker 1: was enough for you, The Telegraph, the esteemed British newspaper,
Speaker 1: has a new story out about how Joe Biden's administration,
Speaker 1: including the President himself, Joe Biden, blatantly and brazenly ignored
Speaker 1: glaring warnings about evacuating thousand thousand Afghans during so called
Speaker 1: Operation Allies Welcome during the Box withdrawal from Afghanistan back
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. As The Telegraph reports, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: quote prioritized mass migration over security, and he repeatedly disregarded
Speaker 1: warnings from those within his administration who were warning that
Speaker 1: there were terrorists within the batch, and that contakes me
Speaker 1: to the broader point that I want to make here,
Speaker 1: which is this. We speak on the show sometimes about
Speaker 1: the category versus the individual when it comes to Islam
Speaker 1: and American constitutionalism, or Islam and Western civilization more generally,
Speaker 1: at a categorical level, speaking of two things more in
Speaker 1: the abstracts. When you look at the stipulated principles, what
Speaker 1: they stand for, what they embody, what they exude, how
Speaker 1: they interact, et cetera. There Islam is categorically incompatible with
Speaker 1: Western civilization more broadly and American constitutionalism more specifically. There
Speaker 1: is no way to try to square the circle of
Speaker 1: what a lot of radical Muslims believe the Qur'an to commands. Again,
Speaker 1: you can say that's not authentic Islam. I can say
Speaker 1: that I don't give a crap because they think it is.
Speaker 1: There's no way to square that circle of what they
Speaker 1: think they are commanded and compelled to do in the
Speaker 1: name of Shria, supremacism, various forms of both soft and
Speaker 1: hard subjugation. There's no way to square that circle with
Speaker 1: the biblical ecumenical inheritance, that is, Western civilization more broadly,
Speaker 1: and the specific form of that that has taken root
Speaker 1: on this continent since the American founding two and a
Speaker 1: half centuries ago. You cannot square that circle. It cannot
Speaker 1: be squared. That is not to say bring us back
Speaker 1: to this hero in Sydney, aukamanal Akamed. Thats not to
Speaker 1: say that there are not individuals who will assimilate, who
Speaker 1: will adopt Western values in a Western mode of thinking,
Speaker 1: who will think like Westerners and not the crack whole
Speaker 1: countries whence they can. That's not to say that those
Speaker 1: individuals don't, because they obviously do. We should praise them.
Speaker 1: We should laud them when they are heroes like aucmanal Acmed.
Speaker 1: But you set public policy not at the individual level.
Speaker 1: By definition of establishing laws and probleging laws and passing
Speaker 1: public policy and legislatures and executive offices around the world.
Speaker 1: You have to set policy at the level of the
Speaker 1: categorical because because you cannot micromanage at an individual level,
Speaker 1: you just can't. That's not how public policy work, it's
Speaker 1: not how law works. So it is pastime. As you've
Speaker 1: heard Sener Hagerty say a few minutes ago to Maria
Speaker 1: Bartoomo on Fox Bizo over the weekend, it is pastime
Speaker 1: is now were never to stop. But the delusional civilizationally
Speaker 1: suicidal malli coddling of an entity Islam that is not
Speaker 1: categorically compatible with us. Get those deportations ramming up. For
Speaker 1: everyone here who is not already a citizen and who
Speaker 1: has some sort of loyalty to a terrorist organization or
Speaker 1: professed expressed loyalty to foreign terroist groups, the ones who
Speaker 1: slip through the cracks, they're out there, they are myriad actually.
Speaker 1: And yes, for those even who have acquired citizenship illegally
Speaker 1: because they lied on the sensitive paperwork on their application
Speaker 1: that they actually still harbor allegiance to a foreign terrorst entity,
Speaker 1: we should commence denaturalization proceedings accordingly under Title eight to
Speaker 1: the US Code. It has to be done a definiti
Speaker 1: by definition on an ad hoc case by case basis.
Speaker 1: But trust me, those situations absolutely absolutely do exist. But
Speaker 1: again I'm just putting a bow on this extended conversation.
Speaker 1: There made the blood of those slain in Bondai beach
Speaker 1: over this weekend be avenged. And may may all the
Speaker 1: Jews out there I wish you a happy Honukkah honkakah Smyok,
Speaker 1: one of my very favorite holidays. We're going to talk
Speaker 1: about Hanakah lot actually on tomorrow's episode of Josh hammershow
Speaker 1: we're going to bring on a rabb by Stephen Berg
Speaker 1: of Aish, a well known Jewish outreach organization, for an
Speaker 1: extended back and forth about the holiday of Hanukkah. So
Speaker 1: being the lookout for that there and I will just
Speaker 1: say this, make sure that as you are lighting the
Speaker 1: menora this week to celebrate Hanukah, that you are thinking
Speaker 1: about those martyrs, because yes, in Jewish terms, they are
Speaker 1: literal martyrs down in Bondi Beach, Australia. Think about them,
Speaker 1: Honor them, and don't shy away. Continue to double down
Speaker 1: and be that light today more than any day this week,
Speaker 1: more than any week this year, more than any year. Now,
Speaker 1: more than ever you can, you should, You must be
Speaker 1: that light amidst the darkness. I guarantee you that this
Speaker 1: isn't Kabad Rabbi who was murdered because of his faith
Speaker 1: over the weekend at Bandai Beach, who leaves behind a
Speaker 1: wife and a two month old baby. I guarantee you,
Speaker 1: guarantee it, that's exactly what he would have wanted to
Speaker 1: do that, and God William mayor public policy leaders in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. And Brussels and elsewhere recognize the gargantuan Islamic
Speaker 1: problem that is happening all through Western civilization. Lest America
Speaker 1: go down the awful, awful rabbit hole that is increasing
Speaker 1: golfing Western Europe. And this weekend struck getting another fatal
Speaker 1: blow at Bondai Beach is Sydney, Australia. Speaking of the
Speaker 1: Hanukkah holiday again. We're going to go at length on
Speaker 1: this on tomorrow's show, but to briefly briefly recap the
Speaker 1: Honkkah story as BIVI of a segue to where I
Speaker 1: want to say this conversation next. The Hanaga story involves
Speaker 1: an attempt by the Hellenistic Greek Assyrian Seleucid Empire to
Speaker 1: wipe out Traditional Temple era Second Temple era Judaism in
Speaker 1: Jerusalem in the Land of Israel, to destroy the temple
Speaker 1: to reconsecrate it according to the pagan deities of the
Speaker 1: Hellenistic Greek Assyrian culture, and part of the story ends
Speaker 1: up also being a Jewish civil war between the ardent
Speaker 1: traditionalists the ardent nationalists. You might even say the ardent Zionists, frankly,
Speaker 1: of the Maccabees, led by Jude the Maccabee, on the
Speaker 1: one hand, who sought to and successfully sought to conserve
Speaker 1: and preserve their traditions, their customs, their focused from one
Speaker 1: generation to the next, versus other Jews who were the
Speaker 1: Hellenized Jews, the assimilated Jews who volunteered to go into
Speaker 1: the oppressors, the cells of the Empire, and the Greeks
Speaker 1: Syrian oppressors above that, I couldn't help but think of
Speaker 1: this powerful imagery, and specifically this element of Jewish civil
Speaker 1: war that is part of the Honka story, a lesser
Speaker 1: told part of the story. I couldn't help but think
Speaker 1: of that when I was watching this clip on The
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly Show on Friday. We're not going to play
Speaker 1: this clip because I don't want to give this any
Speaker 1: more airtime than it frankly deserves. But essentially what happened
Speaker 1: was you had failed comedian and purported a leegend quote
Speaker 1: unquote Jue Dave Smith, who I have debated twice back
Speaker 1: in February at Prince of University for a Steamboat Institute
Speaker 1: event in New Jersey, as well as the better known
Speaker 1: Charlie Kirk moderate event at Turning Point USA's Student Action
Speaker 1: Summit in Tama, Florida in July. I've debated this absolute
Speaker 1: dim wit twice, Dave Smith, who is a failed comedian.
Speaker 1: By the way, I actually tried to watch Dave Smith's
Speaker 1: comedy Ones. It's not a Netflix. I had to look
Speaker 1: it up on YouTube or somewhere else. I turned it
Speaker 1: off after like three to four minutes. I mean, do
Speaker 1: can't tell a joke to save his life. He's frankly
Speaker 1: just profoundly unfunny, which I suppose is why he is
Speaker 1: now moonlighting as some third rate you see your D
Speaker 1: list libertarian quote unquote intellectual. I mean really, it kind
Speaker 1: of shows you just how far the libertarians have they
Speaker 1: go to kind of scrape the bomb in the barrel
Speaker 1: to find some quote unquote intellectuals here, because this guy
Speaker 1: is one and a half to two standard deviations below the media,
Speaker 1: and I Q on a good day, Dave Smith is
Speaker 1: is someone who is a fart in the wind, a
Speaker 1: fart in the hurricane. As as Mark Levin recently said
Speaker 1: of Neil Patel Tucker, Carlson's long time and business partner,
Speaker 1: who unfortunately as follow Tucker down this particularly feeded rabbit hole.
Speaker 1: He has gone. As Mark said of Neil Dave, Smith
Speaker 1: is frankly just a pimple on a camel's ass, and
Speaker 1: we will not spend more time on him than need big.
Speaker 1: But to Megan Kelly, he starts, he starts griping, starts
Speaker 1: groaning about Josh Hammer, among others. And now Josh Hammer
Speaker 1: was telling lies about Charlie Kirk. No he wasn't. I
Speaker 1: have not told a single lie about Charlie Kirk, not
Speaker 1: a single one. Smith is also talking about how he
Speaker 1: was talking about how back at our Turning Point USA
Speaker 1: debate back in July, which took place over five months ago.
Speaker 1: By the way, over five months ago. Smith is still
Speaker 1: on Magan Kelly's show talking about how we were a
Speaker 1: chummy backstage and then Josh was such a such a
Speaker 1: such a jerk on stage.
Speaker 3: Oh crimea river.
Speaker 1: Wait, how childish. First of all, I mean this happened
Speaker 1: over five months ago. So I am literally living rent
Speaker 1: free in this pimple on a camel's asses head, which
Speaker 1: itself is. He is deeply humorous to me that he
Speaker 1: still think about this. I don't think for a second
Speaker 1: about Dave Smith. What it's worth. I regret I'm even
Speaker 1: saying his name so much. I'm focused now mostly on
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson, Candice Owens, and as we will get to
Speaker 1: into a second increasingly unfortunately Magan Kelly. But Dave Spit
Speaker 1: apparently thinks a lot about me. Okay, whatever, that's your problem, dude,
Speaker 1: talk to your therapist. God knows you need one. So
Speaker 1: he's talking about that. He's talking about how I was
Speaker 1: lying about Charlie Kirk. No, he wasn't. I literally wasn't.
Speaker 1: As I said repeatedly, I was on this zoom call
Speaker 1: with Charlie the night before his horrific assassination. Charlie called
Speaker 1: in me, Rabbi Paysock, we'll me in a couple others
Speaker 1: to literally talk about messaging advice for how to go
Speaker 1: on college canvases and best try to convey the pro Jewish,
Speaker 1: proiginal message in this twenty twenty five twenty six academic year. So,
Speaker 1: contrary to all the garbage that you hear from the conspiracists,
Speaker 1: from Candice, Allwins and Tucker and all those idiots, Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk really did remain. He cared a lot by maintaining
Speaker 1: the excumenical Jewish Christian biblical alliance until the very end.
Speaker 1: I know that because we discussed it every single day
Speaker 1: towards the end. So no one is lying about Charlie
Speaker 1: Kirk other than Dave Smith and people like that. Incidentally,
Speaker 1: Erica Kirk actually sitting down with Cannis ol Win stay,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure it's the best idea, to be totally
Speaker 1: honest with you. Erica could, of course do whatever she
Speaker 1: wants to do. I'm not sure frankly, it's the best idea.
Speaker 1: I wish nothing but the best. I hope that she
Speaker 1: records this conversation because I think Candace is probably gonna
Speaker 1: lie her rear ends off about it afterwards. If I
Speaker 1: had to give, yes, Candace is a demonic mental patient
Speaker 1: who does not, frankly deserve Erica Kirk's time. But if
Speaker 1: Erica wants to give for the time of day to
Speaker 1: talk about what exactly, I mean to talk about, why
Speaker 1: Candas is saying the most insane, horrific things magual about
Speaker 1: this grieving widow. Again, that's her rights. I don't really
Speaker 1: necessarily see the point of it, but that is also
Speaker 1: happening today and hopefully it's recorded, because I want to
Speaker 1: watch the full thing and not read the readout of
Speaker 1: it act words, because I just literally do not believe
Speaker 1: what Cannis will say about it. That brings it back
Speaker 1: to Megan Kelly. Now, contraryt to what Megan Kelly thinks,
Speaker 1: I've actually been somewhat hesitant to criticize Megan Kelly for
Speaker 1: a few reasons. What is that For the longest time,
Speaker 1: I was a huge fan of Megan Kelly for the
Speaker 1: absolute longest time, back when she was on Fox News,
Speaker 1: Main Kelly was not this maga crusader that she holds
Speaker 1: herself out to be. In fact, during the very first
Speaker 1: August twenty fifteen Republican presidential primary debate back in the
Speaker 1: cycle that Trump ends up winning, that's when Trump got
Speaker 1: into this infamous exchange with Megan Kelly. She was very
Speaker 1: very Trump skeptical, indeed Trump critical. Back then, Megan ends
Speaker 1: up leaving Fox to take this very pricey contract at
Speaker 1: NBC News where she hosts a failed daytime talk show,
Speaker 1: and she was of anything trending leftwards in those days.
Speaker 1: There was this segment on her old NBC show that
Speaker 1: went viral on my social media. If you need maybe
Speaker 1: a month or two ago where Megan back then in
Speaker 1: her NBC Days calls on these teenagers who are quote
Speaker 1: unquote transgender and she's praising them for expressing themselves with
Speaker 1: their gender identity. She was pro and now she's a
Speaker 1: purported hard core opponent of general mutilation, of chemical castration crime.
Speaker 1: Me a river, give me a break. Ultimately, though, as
Speaker 1: we've tragically seen, it turns out that Megan Kelly is
Speaker 1: only in it for Megan Kelly, that she is actually
Speaker 1: just in it for clicks, actually just in it reviews. Indeed,
Speaker 1: on the Daysmuth interview on Friday after Daysmith referred to
Speaker 1: me as a snake. Megan Kelly not alok and said,
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that guy Josh Hammer is a snake. This
Speaker 1: is in line with the recent behavior, among other things,
Speaker 1: on following and generally just totally renouncing my friend Dave
Speaker 1: Rubin after they were close friends for years and years
Speaker 1: and years, man Kelly really dined in their home repeatedly
Speaker 1: man Kelly calling out Mark Levin as a piece of
Speaker 1: you know what, although she actually said it on social
Speaker 1: media because she playing that Mark called her a Nazi,
Speaker 1: which he didn't making, by the way, claims that I
Speaker 1: called her an anti Semite, which I didn't because I
Speaker 1: do not believe she is. So she's unhinged, she's lying,
Speaker 1: and this is somewhat new ish for her. It feels
Speaker 1: like just yesterday that was going on our show fairly regularly. Indeed,
Speaker 1: after October seventh, her team reached down. I was a
Speaker 1: semi freaking guest. We had one amazing conversation where she
Speaker 1: had me on for an hour or more for a
Speaker 1: really deep dive on all the various elements of October
Speaker 1: seventh than the then immediate aftermath. What was the role
Speaker 1: of over Ron, What with the role of Katar Muslim brotherhood,
Speaker 1: What does Israel do now? What does the US do now?
Speaker 1: It was a great conversation, and she came across as
Speaker 1: very genuine and caring. The fool apparently is me because
Speaker 1: she was not genuine and caring because now, as she
Speaker 1: has made incredibly clear, she's on team Tucker, she's on
Speaker 1: team Candice. She she will never ever, by her own emission,
Speaker 1: say or do anything to distance herself from Tucker Carlson.
Speaker 1: She certainly has not done anything to distance herself from
Speaker 1: Candace Owens either. In fact, she did a live event
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Florida, with Ben Shapiro, and Ben brought this
Speaker 1: up admirably courageously brought this up at Maingan's own events.
Speaker 1: So she said, Megan, why have you not condemned Candace
Speaker 1: for accusing Erga Kirk of complicity in her in her
Speaker 1: own husband'ssassination. And Megan played stupid. She she played stupid
Speaker 1: and said, oh, oh, i'ven't seen that clip, which is
Speaker 1: absurd because she apparently noticed that I retweeted one or
Speaker 1: two critical tweets of her, which I guess is why
Speaker 1: she thinks I called her ante semenitic. You know I didn't.
Speaker 1: And then the day or two after Mayan's appearance with
Speaker 1: Ben Shapiro, she did a whole segment saying that Ben
Speaker 1: Shapiro lied about what canas own said, no, he didn't.
Speaker 1: Kansas has been accusing Eric Kirk, among many others, including
Speaker 1: this guy yours truly, of having fore knowledge or some
Speaker 1: degree of complicity. It's all so demonic, sob so dibolical,
Speaker 1: and Megan wung lift a finger, hung lift a damn
Speaker 1: finger to condemn any of it. And it's even worse
Speaker 1: than that, because I know I will not say this
Speaker 1: individual's name, but I know from someone who is very
Speaker 1: very close for a long time, someone who, for whatever's worth,
Speaker 1: not even Jewish, who was very very close to Mean
Speaker 1: and Kelly for a long time. Someone else, and Megan
Speaker 1: Kelly recently just blew off because she's clearly in some
Speaker 1: sort of unwell states. Again between her and her psychiatrists,
Speaker 1: I don't know. She's not doing well right now. She
Speaker 1: told though this friend of mine before she mayhim blew
Speaker 1: off that friendship. She admitted that she knows that a
Speaker 1: kinn isn't Tucker are saying right now about everything in general,
Speaker 1: including Charlie's sassination the Jews that Megan apparently admitted that
Speaker 1: she knew was crazy and unhinged, But she simultaneously said
Speaker 1: that the reason that she would not condemn it is
Speaker 1: because she is scared of their followers. Yes, big bad
Speaker 1: Megan Kelly is scared of Tucker Carlson and Candice Owens
Speaker 1: as followers, and therefore she will not condemn them. She
Speaker 1: will not speak the truth. She doesn't care for truth.
Speaker 1: She cares about clicks and for appeasing the mob. This
Speaker 1: is the literal dictionary definition of cowardice. Is refusal to
Speaker 1: do the right thing, that one knows me right, that
Speaker 1: one knows me true, and just because he or she
Speaker 1: they are afraid, afraid of the consequences, afraid to what
Speaker 1: happened if you speak up, afraid what happens for calling
Speaker 1: out horrific actors, in this case de facto Nazis and
Speaker 1: there are betters. It is disgusting, it is repulsive, and
Speaker 1: meeting Kelly, we see it and we will call it
Speaker 1: out as need be. For Mae and Kelly to go
Speaker 1: from having me on post October seventh for these beautiful sentiments,
Speaker 1: for tweeting me after my wedding to say my then
Speaker 1: new wife is beautiful and we look so happy to
Speaker 1: go from that, to bring on Dave Smith fard in
Speaker 1: the wind, Dave Smith, to bring him on to not
Speaker 1: as long as he calls me a snake on her show.
Speaker 1: And for what to appease Candice Owens missus blood libel,
Speaker 1: to appease Tucker Carlson, for whom the a mirror of
Speaker 1: Katar is so far up as buttthole you might as
Speaker 1: well be rummaging around the small and testing by now.
Speaker 1: Really and answer is yes, because as Megan Kelly also
Speaker 1: tweeted to me yesterday she was mocking this. I think
Speaker 1: she thought she was mocking this show, this podcast, because like,
Speaker 1: how's that podcast going. She's wrong on that too. She's
Speaker 1: so stupid that she actually conflated this show, which recently
Speaker 1: joined the Salem Podcast Network, when we are so proud
Speaker 1: of that arrangement. She conflated this show with a separate
Speaker 1: show that I very briefly hosted for the show that
Speaker 1: does her own show called Red Sea Ventures, which makes
Speaker 1: her something of a business partner with Tucker Carlson because
Speaker 1: those shows are both also handled by Red Sea Ventures.
Speaker 1: That's an underdiscussed part of what's happening here of Megan's
Speaker 1: selling of her soul to Tucker and Canvas. They're actually
Speaker 1: financially connected. Now that's an underdiscussed part of this broader narrative.
Speaker 1: But Megan was mocking my show because she thought that
Speaker 1: it no longer existed. And it's true that brief show
Speaker 1: that I used to host it was a twenty twenty
Speaker 1: four election show, so but definition became outdated. But this
Speaker 1: show is thriving, and we will continue to call out
Speaker 1: the frauds, the hypocrites, and the cowards and me and
Speaker 1: Keldy that ultimately is what you are. May not be
Speaker 1: a self hating Hellenized Jew like a Dave Smith. He
Speaker 1: may not be a Nazi like Candice Owens. May not
Speaker 1: be an old school country Clube anti Santa like a
Speaker 1: Tucker Carlson. I don't think you were any of that.
Speaker 1: You are a stinking feeded coward. We see you, and
Speaker 1: we're not gonna shy away from calling it out. I
Speaker 1: wish you all a very happy Hankah. For those of
Speaker 1: you who are celebrating again. On tomorrow show, we're gonna
Speaker 1: bring on a Rabbi, Stephen Burke of Age for an
Speaker 1: extended conversation about the Hanakah holiday, one of my favorite
Speaker 1: holidays I have, not my single favorite on the entire
Speaker 1: Jewish calendar. Make sure to go ahead and shut it out,
Speaker 1: and as always, make sure to like and subscribe to
Speaker 1: our show. Leave us at five star review, tell us
Speaker 1: how we're doing in the comments section. You can watch
Speaker 1: the full video over at Newsweek's YouTube channel, as well
Speaker 1: as at Salem News Channel. Well, but for now, I
Speaker 1: hope you enjoyed today's episode of The Josh Hammer Show.
Speaker 1: Josh Hammer signing off until tomorrow. The Josh Hammer Show
