WEBVTT - Islam Control, NOT Gun Control 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:05.120 Tragedy strikes a HBBAD Hanika celebration down in Sydney, Australia. 0:00:05.320 --> 0:00:08.920 US soldiers murdered in Syria for the first time in 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.639 six years, a horrific shooting at Brown University. Just an awful, 0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:16.400 violence ridden weekend. In general, there's something of a common 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.920 denominator weaving its way through these various storylines. We will 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.360 unpack that and much more in today's episode of The 0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:22.120 Josh Embers Show. 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:27.080 Well. 0:00:27.200 --> 0:00:33.239 Unspeakable tragedy striking in the heart of Sydney, Australia on Sunday. 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.240 A terrorist attack and yes it is a terrorist attack, 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.880 happened at Bondai Beach, one of the most well known 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:42.080 beaches and not the single most well known beach in 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.839 the entire nation of Australia, one of the more iconic 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:48.000 beaches in the world. I do not think that as 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:51.360 much of an exaggeration. So Kabad, which is an Orthodox 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:55.560 Jewish organization, like many other Jews, I have been very, 0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:58.639 very familiar with Kabbad over the years. I attend their 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.560 synagogues with some degree of regularity. Very well known organization, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.759 and the HBBAD outlet there in a Bondai Beach hosted 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:10.400 this a large event on the beach. There were daytime festivities, 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.199 there was an ice cream truck, all sorts of children's games, 0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:16.080 ultimately culminating that evening and the ushering in of the 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.560 actual first evening of Hanukkah and what was supposed to 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:24.080 be the lighting of the minora of the iconic candle 0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.600 Apram that is the universal symbol of the Hanakah holiday. 0:01:27.640 --> 0:01:31.440 And tragically those who were congregated there at Bandai Beach 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.399 and not get that opportunity because there was a father 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:36.920 and son, a father and son, a father who initially 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:40.280 came over from Pakistan on a student visa and the 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.360 son who was born there in Australia radicalized. Pakistani's father 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:48.120 and son d a shot up and murdered. As of 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.760 this count and estimated fifteen people. That number tragically could rise. 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.960 We of course earnestly pray that it does not do so. 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.920 So at least fifteen people murdered, forty injured. The graphics, 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.880 the images, the video absolutely appalling, horrific stuff really was. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:05.720 It reminds you, it has to remind you of the 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:09.400 Nova Music Festival. Frankly on October seven, twenty twenty three, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:13.519 and it's just awful, It is just unspeakably awful. Among 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:16.880 those who are murdered, you had a Holocaust survivor who 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.600 was murdered. He was murdered actually apparently when he was 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.160 protecting his wife. He dove over his wife to protect 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:27.200 her from the Muslim assassins of bullets, and he perished. Incidentally, 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:30.720 this is the second time that a Holocaust survivor has 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:35.880 been lethally targeted and indeed killed actually by a radical 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:39.480 Muslim fanatic, just this year. If you have a long 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.800 enough memory, you might recall that in Boulder, Colorado, back 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:47.480 in May or June or so, there was a Jewish solidarity, 0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:53.800 a hostage solidarity gathering in Boulder, Colorado, the infamously liberal 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.400 suburb of Denver, Colorado. And at that time you had 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.880 an Egyptian national, radical Muslim who took a Molotov cocktail 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.680 and ended up burning a ton of people, including murdering 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.160 a Holocaust Survivor's another first time that a Holocaust survivor 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.240 has been struck by a radical Muslim terrorist attack. Just 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.720 this year. The assistant rabbi I believe he was of 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:17.680 the actual Habbad of Bondai Beach was tragically murdered as well. 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.520 He leaves behind a wife, children as young as as 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.480 just a couple months old. It is heartbreaking stuff and 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:26.720 it is truly heart rendering stuff. 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:27.040 There. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.560 Perhaps the saddest part of all, and the most frustrating 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.160 part of all, is that this massacre, and yes it 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:37.600 was a radical Muslim massacre, yet another one, the deadliest 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.960 terrorist attack, the deadliest active mass violence in Australia since 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.520 the Port Arthur massacre twenty nine years ago. We'll get 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.120 to that in just a second. Also the most lethful 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:51.600 attack against the Jewish people since October seven, twenty twenty three. 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:54.960 Not that all of those who were slain were Jewish, 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:58.160 by the way, It's been pretty much impossible to try 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.960 to figure that out, but it certainly seems that it 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.720 was a mix of Jews and non Jews, Christian etc. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.960 Who were slain their Bondai Beach. Again, there was a 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.840 hubbat events for the first night of Hanukkah, and there 0:04:10.880 --> 0:04:13.960 certainly were plenty dozens, hundreds, maybe thousands of Jews that 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.440 were congregated there. But it is just an extremely popular, 0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:20.039 well known towards attraction there, and the fact that you 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:23.040 have radical Muslim terrorists striking in the heart of this 0:04:23.360 --> 0:04:27.880 iconic beach, in the heart of Sinney is just an awful, awful, awful, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.400 awful thing, not just from a human perspective, which it 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.360 obviously is. And as we say in Judaism, may God 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:37.680 avenge their blood. That's actually what we traditionally say when 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.599 you have Jews who are murdered for their Judaism. So 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.800 if someone just passes away, you typically say, may his 0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:46.280 memory be a blessing. But when someone is murdered because 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.760 of their religion and therefore they achieve martyr status, we 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.440 actually say, may God avenge their blood. That sign might 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.880 sound a little old school for those with virgin ears, 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.760 let's say, but that is what we say, and we 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:00.960 happen to mean it when we say it. But again, 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.520 the victims here where we're not just Jewish. And that's 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:06.560 kind of the broader point that I would like to 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:10.400 make here is twofold one. On the one hand, this 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:16.279 was tragically, completely unsurprising, totally unsurprising. I did an event. 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:17.600 I did an event maybe a year and a half 0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:20.360 two years ago with an organization down there in Australia, 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.320 a Virtual Zoom event. This organization is called the AJA, 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:26.599 the Australian Jewish Association. They are a group of right 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.800 wing conservative Jews there in Australia. They are profoundly opposed 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.760 to the left wing Labor government under the horrific, horrific 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.400 leadership of the absolute adult, ignoring us of a Prime 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:43.160 Minister Anthony Albanies, who has gone above and beyond, above 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:47.080 and beyond to demean and to belittle and to fail 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:51.840 to secure the basic civil, moral and human rights of 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.760 the Jews there in Australia. That is non exaggeration. They've 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:59.159 been glaring five alarm fire, massive warning signs of this 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.200 for years, years and years. When my wife's best friends 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.279 and her husband live in the Melbourne Australia Jewish community 0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.640 in Melbourne has I think I believe it's actually an 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.720 even bigger Jewish community than Syney, Australia. There was an 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:16.440 arson attack and a synagogue in Melbourne, Australia, another kosher 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.400 food kitchen that was targeted by the way both of 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.480 those attacks and ended up being we subtly learned were 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.000 state sponsor attacks by the Iranian regime. So there was 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:29.600 there was foreign Muslim orchestrated terror in in Australia. And 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:31.720 what I've heard from my wife's friends there, what I've 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:35.039 heard from this organization a JA, the Australia Jewish Association, 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.640 just from all sorts of others there. My good friend 0:06:37.720 --> 0:06:40.480 Dave Rubin recently did two weeks down Australia where he 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.280 was taking his show on the road to both Melbourne 0:06:42.279 --> 0:06:43.760 and Sydney. I heard this from Dave over and over 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.960 and over and again. Everyone talked to there. They were 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:50.960 screaming about the rising threat of radical Muslim Muslim extremism 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.400 they are in Australia, and the fact that this horrifically 0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:57.440 left wing anti Semitic pro Arab government, the Albanese governments, 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:02.640 was doing nothing, literally nothing to secure the Jewish community naturally. Again, 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.320 if you recall, Australia was actually one of the leaders 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.120 three months ago at the September gathering of the Nine 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.920 Nations General Assembly, Australia was one of the leaders trying 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:15.679 to push the Palestinian statehood narrative. Australia did that along 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.640 with the liberal Carnei government in Canada, the liberal Starmer 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:22.760 government in the United Kingdom, Macrone's friends, and various other kuntries. Well, 0:07:22.800 --> 0:07:25.520 Australia was right there. Do you not see the direct 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:31.280 correlation that when you push the reventious hegemonical subjugationists, ahistorical 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:35.360 and historically illiterate narrative of so called alleged quote unquote 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:39.200 Palestinian Arab nationalism, do not see the direct fault line 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.840 between that and murder? When you say globalizing depada, that 0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.840 is what globalized the indefada looks like. Globalize the Intpada 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:53.200 looks like a Pakistani father and a son. They're on 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:59.560 Bondai beach mowing people down. That is globalizing defada. Globalizing 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:03.680 defada is what happens when in Washington, DC earlier this 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:08.080 year got those two Israelly embassy staffers murdered by a 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:14.560 free Palestine students were justin Palestine, radical Marxist communists from Chicago. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:20.200 That is what globalized the into Fada looks like. Unless 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:25.440 you think that globalized the Intofada is just coming for 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.440 the Jews, I assure you that it is not just 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:33.520 over the weekend. As well, they stopped another imminent Christmas 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:38.439 market slaughter in Germany, Christmas market Christians in Germany from 0:08:38.600 --> 0:08:41.760 radical Muslims. Stop me if you think you're having deja 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.120 vus you're not. This actually just happened last year. In fact, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.439 it's happened many times in Europe over the past ten 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.040 to fifteen years, especially since Angela Merkel, in all of 0:08:49.080 --> 0:08:51.840 her utter idiocy, let in a million plus Syrian quote 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:55.920 unquote refugees aka male economic migrants around a decade ago. 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.400 So there was another horrific attack just last year. This 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:03.560 happens actually in a German market in a town called 0:09:03.720 --> 0:09:07.480 Magdeburg that killed six people a time. Just over the weekend, 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:12.720 German intelligence, coordinating with some other foreign stand intelligence, stopped 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.320 another imminent Christmas market slaughter. This one was believed to 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.360 have been planned for the Munich suburbs so in southern 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:23.400 Germany Bavaria, the Munich suburb of dingolfing landaut And this 0:09:23.600 --> 0:09:28.080 involved three Moroccans, an Egyptian and a Syrian national. They 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:30.760 were all detained on Friday over planning to target a 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.240 market in Bavaria in southern Germany. By the way, the 0:09:34.240 --> 0:09:36.840 Egyptian who was believed to be the ring leader of 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:41.120 this was actually an emam at a local mosque. Now 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.000 taking it back to Bondai Beach, Australia, it is true 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.840 that one of the individuals who bravely and courageously and 0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:51.800 I am not be leading this in this size. This 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.800 is genuine human courage. One of the individuals who stopped 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:59.120 this slaughter after allegedly the police just stood on. We're 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:00.480 hearing a lot of mixed reports that about it is 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.680 how the police failed to take appropriate action in the 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.679 heat of the moment there in Australia. Will continue to 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:06.600 come back to the story as we glean more information, 0:10:06.640 --> 0:10:08.719 but I'm starting to see a lot of reports and 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.840 indeed some images on Instagram and videos are reels of 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.520 the police just standing around as the shooting gun underway. 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.320 That's rather cres put in mildly. So as the shooting 0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:20.400 in Bondai Beach starts, you do have one individual, a 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.000 Muslim guy named Auchment Ahmed. He is a local fruit 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:29.680 stand vendor who actually then tackles the assailant, not armed himself, 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:33.199 manages to rest the gun away. He is now hospitalized 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:34.959 with some minor injuries. We wish him nothing but a 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:37.760 full recovery because that is a heroic action there. And 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.400 I have seen a lot of folks now start to 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.320 say that this is this is actually Islam, that what 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.480 akamedal Achman did is actually Islam there? And rather, what 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:50.400 the what the what the Pakistani national assassin and his 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:55.400 Australian born Pakistani immigrant child son did that that is 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:58.599 not actually Islam. In fact, there is a member of 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.480 the British Parliament, a muzzle promontarian in Westminster, in the 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.760 name of Annan Hussein, who said the quote the horrific 0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.439 terror attack of Bandai Beach should not be exploited to 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:10.840 vilify a faith or its followers. The only Islaman display 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.800 was embodied by Ahmed as opposed to the actual assassin 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:20.760 and his son, Navid Akram and Khalid al Nabulsi. That 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:24.080 strikes me as a highly suspect claim. All you have 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.280 to do is go back and look at what radical 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:28.920 jihadis say in the moment that they are committing atrocities. 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.080 They say Ala hu Akbar is what we know they 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.480 say because they we hear it, they film. It is 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:38.720 a universally known thing that when a radical Muslim commits 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:40.880 acts an act of jihad, he is saying Al hu 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:45.480 Akbar all praise to Allah. Does that sound like someone 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:48.840 who is not acting according to how he sincerely believes 0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:53.160 that what his religion preaches him. We're not going to 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.960 do a deep dive on chronic interpretation on this particular 0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.880 episode the Josh Hammer Show, but the Qoran is replete 0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:05.520 with examples of this. The Qoran commands in pretty explicit 0:12:05.640 --> 0:12:09.360 terms that you shall quote kill them wherever you find them, 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.360 speaking of infidels Morge generally and above all the Jews, 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:16.839 who are repeatedly singled out by the Koran and by 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.480 the Hadith the ritus around the Koran as the enemies 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:24.559 of Islam. Indeed, Chapter five, verse eighty two says that 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:27.439 the Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims. This 0:12:27.840 --> 0:12:31.600 is all throughout the so called religion and peace. It's 0:12:31.640 --> 0:12:35.480 all throughout there. Unfortunately, the immediate reactor that we've seen 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.000 from the atle brained left wing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:42.640 and the rest of the sclerotic leadership there in Cranberra. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:48.600 They are now talking about greater gun control, as if Australia, Australia, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:53.080 aust freak, Australia does not have enough gun control. For 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:55.040 those of us who have follows the second men of 0:12:55.040 --> 0:12:58.720 debate closely here in the United States, Australia is like 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:02.880 these singular entry that the American left most loves to 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:07.760 point to as embodying what their gun confiscation program looks like. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.000 Because the last time that Australia had a tragedy on 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.760 this scale the Port Arthur massacre back in April of 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.760 nineteen ninety six, in which thirty five people were killed 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.440 in additional twenty three or wounded. It is to this day, 0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.520 unless the Bondei Beach death toll exponentially arises, that Port 0:13:24.600 --> 0:13:26.960 Arthur or twenty one years ago remains the deadliest mass 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.440 shooting in Australian history. So after that, the Australian program 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:36.679 infamously commences a massive national gun confiscation program, one of 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:41.040 the largest in modern world history. They are infamous for this. 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:45.160 The National Firearms buy Back Program, which ran for about 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:48.199 a year from October nine ninety six through September nineteen 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:53.199 ninety seven, retrieved nearly seven hundred thousand guns. There was 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:56.040 also an additional handgun buy back in two thousand and 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.320 three that retrieved an additional sixty nine to seventy thousand guns. 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.439 Give her to they compensated the gun owners because Australia's 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:06.200 Constitution does not have a second Amendment, so they can 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.400 actually do this on their own constitutional terms, as long 0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:13.680 as you provide just compensation by whatever version of due 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:18.520 process they have there and just didn't stop this massacre. 0:14:20.200 --> 0:14:24.600 The notion that gun control is a solution in Australia 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:30.040 is so wildly out of touch with what Australia actually 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.560 is and the laws on the books that one barely 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:36.640 even knows how to begin going about confronting this if 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.880 this can happen in Australia. Simply put, the issue is 0:14:39.880 --> 0:14:43.880 not guns. The issue is something else. Wink wink, nudge, nudge. 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:45.520 I think you probably know what that something else is. 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.120 Here a cenator at Bill Cassidy over the weekend on CNN, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:50.840 talking about this exact issue. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.560 I would say that after the shooting and Texas and 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:57.600 the Valdi Congress passed a Safer Communities Act on a 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.880 bipartisan basis, that I create many things that would address 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.760 all the issues of which she speaks. Now, if she's 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.160 going to say, wait a second, we need gun control laws, 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.840 there is the also shooting we just occurred in Australia 0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:13.680 in which there are gun control laws, and yet this 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.640 still occurred. Again, we don't know the facts of this, 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.160 but in the Avaldi shooting, we addressed not just mental illness, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:29.160 but also background checks, also the girlfriend loophole, other things 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.680 that would attempt to address this. And I would argue 0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:34.720 that if the facts are known, you will see the 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:35.680 Congress has acted. 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:40.520 So Cassie, they're talking about not just the tragy in Australia, 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:42.760 but also the shooting in Brown University, which we'll get 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.600 to hear in just one of moments. But he's clearly 0:15:45.640 --> 0:15:49.400 credited that gun control is not the issue. It's Australia. 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:54.160 It is like the Bernie Sanders far left, aoc Jasmine 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.240 Crockett fantasy. I mean, this is like their dream land. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.480 Their utopia is Australia where you where you have no 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.520 segmenting and you literally go about buying back all the guns. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.320 And it happened because the issue is not the guns. 0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.000 The issue are the radical Muslims, the Muslims who commit 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.720 acts in the name of Islam, in the name of Allah, 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.640 who think that they are acting according to the dictates 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.760 and tenants of their faith, whether you would like to 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:24.240 think so, whether you would care to acknowledge it or not. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:28.720 That is why this keeps on happening. Center Bill Hagerty 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:31.200 of Tennessee had a much more sober assessment. Let's go 0:16:31.200 --> 0:16:33.840 ahead and watch Center Hagerty from over the weekend as well. 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:39.520 Well. It's again a shocking revelation here of what's happened 0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:42.400 in Australia. There have been many complaints about the immigration 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:46.560 policies there in Australia. I think that the government there 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.480 is going to have to address this head on. There's 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.880 an amazing amount of anti Semitism around the world that 0:16:52.920 --> 0:16:56.520 we're seeing emerge. Again. You mentioned social media activating it, 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.400 but there have been massive movements of people that absolute 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:03.040 I want to see death Israel and death to America 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:08.399 for that matter. This transpiring in Australia at a holy time, 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.119 at the beginning of Hanukkah is just shocking. Again. We 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.480 need to get to the bottom of it. The Australian 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:17.320 government needs to come together and stop this sort of 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.280 antisemitic behavior. And as the United States of America the 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.000 leader in that region, we need to be supportive of 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:23.720 these efforts. 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:27.639 Folks, If guns were the issue, then we wouldn't be 0:17:27.680 --> 0:17:32.360 stopping these Christmas market attacks in Germany where the weapons 0:17:32.400 --> 0:17:38.119 are not guns but vehicles. How many Christmas market car 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:41.679 ramming attacks have we had in Europe over the past 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:44.639 decade and a half two decades, You're literally about to 0:17:44.640 --> 0:17:48.520 have one more. Heck, it's not just Europe. There was 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:53.159 another car ramming mass Jihattis slaughter on Bourbon Street in 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.840 New Orleans last New Year's Day in the wee hours 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:58.840 of the morning, around two thirty three in the morning 0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:02.920 local time, New Orleans. A radicalized muzzle and a lone wolf, 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:06.960 as often said from Houston, Texas, drives to New Orleans, 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.360 takes his car guzzles down people, most of them over 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.440 on Bourbon streets. You want to have common sense car control, 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.879 common sense knife control. What is this? The issue is 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:24.399 a stubborn refusal to recognize that not all cultures are equal, 0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:29.520 Not all cultures are equal, not all values, customs, folk ways, 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:35.200 ways of life, ways to express your religion. It's a 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:37.920 beautiful time of the year where we have just started 0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:42.439 the Hanakah holiday. Jews are expressing their faith. Christians have 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.240 Christmas coming up very imminently here. They will be glorifying 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:49.959 and expressing their faith. And a lot of Muslims are 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:54.400 now mowing people down. Is that their way of expressing 0:18:54.440 --> 0:18:57.879 their faith? I don't particularly care what the answer is. 0:18:57.880 --> 0:18:59.960 I don't particularly care what you think the answer is. 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.760 The relevant point is that they think they think that's 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:11.600 the answer. It's just utterly a point. And also this week, 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.960 and I mean talk about a confluence of events, two 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:21.280 US soldiers and a civilian interpreter murdered in Syria. These 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:25.879 are the first US Armed forces deaths in Sirius in 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:31.879 twenty nineteen, killed by a suspected ISIS infiltrator inside what 0:19:32.000 --> 0:19:36.600 was supposed to be an Allied Syrian fighting force. Well, 0:19:37.000 --> 0:19:40.560 that's deeply problematic. We're talking just the other day about 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:46.040 al Shara, the former pripateetic al Qaeda Jihadis turned statesmen 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:50.960 into Maascus. How many more infiltrators, whether it's al Qaeda 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:53.480 or ISIS do we have on the prow now in 0:19:53.520 --> 0:19:57.080 Syria the same regime that plenty of Westerners, unfortunately, including 0:19:57.080 --> 0:20:02.040 the trumpministration, are now recognizing as being now Western aligned. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:06.760 We're getting rid of these Caesar sanctions on Syria. Horrible, 0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:11.240 absolutely horrible. May these soldiers' memories be an absolute blessing. 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:16.840 It is just horrific, horrific stuff, horrific. Another act of 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:22.600 violence as well at Brown University over the weekend. It 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.560 was they were preparing for a final exam for an 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:30.280 economics course, and in the final review session before the 0:20:30.320 --> 0:20:35.679 final in the economics course, someone goes in there and 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:40.000 starts shooting. At least two dead, these nine others wounded. 0:20:40.480 --> 0:20:44.199 The original individual who's arrested has since been released. So 0:20:44.280 --> 0:20:48.359 a total failure of law enforcement eureally reminiscent to an 0:20:48.359 --> 0:20:52.000 extent of those first hours. Indeed, that first day, day 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.520 and a half or so after Charlie kurssassination in Utah 0:20:54.600 --> 0:20:57.679 September where they initially brun the wrong person and released 0:20:57.720 --> 0:21:00.720 him as well, So in early time, total failure of 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:05.080 law enforcement in Providence, Massachusetts. Now it's worth noting, it's 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.360 worth them Now, we don't know who the individual was here, 0:21:07.680 --> 0:21:10.240 we don't know the motive or anything like that, but 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:14.159 it is worth noting that this class and this class 0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:18.680 was clearly targeted in an obscure building on Brown University's campus. 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.439 Is worth noting that the professor, the professor who was 0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:28.240 teaching this Principles of Economics introductory course is a Jewish 0:21:28.280 --> 0:21:33.920 woman named Rachel Friedberg. She is a professor in economics 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.160 and also a faculty associated in the Brown University program 0:21:37.200 --> 0:21:41.520 for Judaic Studies. Now again we don't have the suspect 0:21:41.520 --> 0:21:43.480 by definition. This is due to the early failure of 0:21:43.520 --> 0:21:46.359 law enforcement. God willing, we will find that some of 0:21:46.400 --> 0:21:50.040 you know what and chargeman arrest him asap. But it's 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:53.359 hard not to connect the dots. It's hard not to 0:21:53.680 --> 0:21:58.080 speculate that this very well might have been a motivating 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:02.400 factor or the motive mating factor perhaps in this particular tragedy. 0:22:02.880 --> 0:22:07.360 We will learn more soon. By the way, another related 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:08.960 thing breaking over the weekend as well as if that 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.000 was enough for you, The Telegraph, the esteemed British newspaper, 0:22:13.840 --> 0:22:17.159 has a new story out about how Joe Biden's administration, 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:22.760 including the President himself, Joe Biden, blatantly and brazenly ignored 0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:29.600 glaring warnings about evacuating thousand thousand Afghans during so called 0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:34.040 Operation Allies Welcome during the Box withdrawal from Afghanistan back 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:38.240 in twenty twenty one. As The Telegraph reports, Joe Biden 0:22:38.640 --> 0:22:43.760 quote prioritized mass migration over security, and he repeatedly disregarded 0:22:43.800 --> 0:22:46.720 warnings from those within his administration who were warning that 0:22:46.760 --> 0:22:52.280 there were terrorists within the batch, and that contakes me 0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:54.680 to the broader point that I want to make here, 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:58.320 which is this. We speak on the show sometimes about 0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:03.520 the category versus the individual when it comes to Islam 0:23:03.600 --> 0:23:07.040 and American constitutionalism, or Islam and Western civilization more generally, 0:23:07.400 --> 0:23:11.240 at a categorical level, speaking of two things more in 0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:14.400 the abstracts. When you look at the stipulated principles, what 0:23:14.440 --> 0:23:18.200 they stand for, what they embody, what they exude, how 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:23.480 they interact, et cetera. There Islam is categorically incompatible with 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:27.840 Western civilization more broadly and American constitutionalism more specifically. There 0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:31.520 is no way to try to square the circle of 0:23:31.640 --> 0:23:35.880 what a lot of radical Muslims believe the Qur'an to commands. Again, 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.200 you can say that's not authentic Islam. I can say 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:40.119 that I don't give a crap because they think it is. 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:43.760 There's no way to square that circle of what they 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:47.000 think they are commanded and compelled to do in the 0:23:47.080 --> 0:23:52.040 name of Shria, supremacism, various forms of both soft and 0:23:52.160 --> 0:23:56.080 hard subjugation. There's no way to square that circle with 0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:59.560 the biblical ecumenical inheritance, that is, Western civilization more broadly, 0:23:59.680 --> 0:24:03.680 and the specific form of that that has taken root 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.240 on this continent since the American founding two and a 0:24:06.240 --> 0:24:09.240 half centuries ago. You cannot square that circle. It cannot 0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:12.600 be squared. That is not to say bring us back 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:15.359 to this hero in Sydney, aukamanal Akamed. Thats not to 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:21.119 say that there are not individuals who will assimilate, who 0:24:21.119 --> 0:24:24.119 will adopt Western values in a Western mode of thinking, 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:27.480
