But I just wanted to kind of 10 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 2: lay the land for you. 11 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: This is the fifth time that I had planned a 12 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: trip to come to Israel, and the first four times 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 1: had been canceled because of different things. One time it 14 00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: was COVID, and the other three were because of war 15 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: and outbreak and attacks that happened, and so it put 16 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: it on pause. In fact, I was even supposed to 17 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: this summer bring my entire family to Israel as a 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: guest of the Israeli government and just go on a 19 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: pilgrimage with all of us. That obviously got canceled for 20 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: because of the war. But this time I was coming 21 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: over and I was hell bent on getting here. Get 22 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: on the plane. I'm sitting on the tarmac for five 23 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,960 Speaker 1: I think it's about five hours, and they canceled the 24 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: flight and I walked up to the pilot. I was like, 25 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 1: there's no way I'm getting out of here tonight, going 26 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: to make my flight in Newark to go over to 27 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: tell Aviv. 28 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 2: And he's like, dude, I get off this plane right now. 29 00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: He was like, I got two different He goes, You've 30 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: got two different people on the plane. 31 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: They're about to time out. 32 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: So I get off the plane, go back home, sleep, 33 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: get back. I was like, I'm going I'm not canceling 34 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: this trip. And now I am here, I'm going to 35 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: talk a little bit during this conversation about what I've 36 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: seen here. But I do want to bring in and 37 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 1: have a really interesting conversation with a Yeo ex teen 38 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: who is with IFCJ. You live basically the majority, by 39 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: the way, welcome and so nice. 40 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: Have you back. 41 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: Thank you you live here, I do, and you travel 42 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: a ton to the US, but that's because you live 43 00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: in Israel, not the other way around, which is me 44 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 1: like what I'm doing here. 45 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 2: I have to say just coming here. 46 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: There's there's one thing I will message I want to 47 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: get across to people listening. If you are planning to 48 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: come to Israel, is wide open for business. Now I 49 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: have felt incredibly safe, and I feel like it is 50 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: very different than it would have been even a month ago. 51 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: You can tell where the shops have reopened, the people 52 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: that are advocating and supporting tourism. I was one of 53 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: the ladies that took me on a tour the Old City. 54 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: Was incredible because she was talking about how she didn't 55 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: work for almost two and a half years because of 56 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: the war. And so if you want to come to Israel, 57 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: now's a great time to come and you feel safe 58 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: as well. 59 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: Oh yes, yes, I have to tell you. I felt 60 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 3: safe every second in the past two years, even if 61 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 3: we had thirty five thousand rockets launched at tiny Israel 62 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 3: the size of New Jersey, thirty five over thirty five thousand, Yeah, 63 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: thousand thousand from seven different fronts, suicide drones, ballistic missiles, 64 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 3: Katchoosha rockets. But you know what, and I really believe 65 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 3: that when you're doing the right thing, God protects you. 66 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 3: And I believe that I'm here living out the words 67 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 3: of our profits, walking these footsteps that our ancestors from 68 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,280 Speaker 3: the scriptures walked, and they saw us sitting here me 69 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 3: and you've been in Jerusalem overlooking the Old city that 70 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 3: one day Christians and Jews would be able to come home. 71 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: And every time I would hear the siren, I would 72 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: always envision it a chouffar call a trumpet, and I 73 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 3: would imagine God saying, Okay, wake up, wake up, I'm here, 74 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: you have my protection, and I would run to the 75 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 3: shelter with my children, with my husband, and I would 76 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: imagine the shelter being in the wings of his security 77 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 3: and safety, and we would just sit and say, hey, 78 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 3: vloyshan sho Marsral, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps, 79 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: and so right now, thank God, it is as safe 80 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 3: as ever for people to come. We've actually wiped out 81 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 3: most of the biggest threats and Lebanon and Iran and 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: Syria and the Kaza Strip and the West Bank, and 83 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: we're very aware and alert of those threats that if 84 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: there was ever a time to come to Israel to 85 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: support the local economy, to show solidarity with the people 86 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: in Israel, Jews, Arabs and Christians, we are waiting for 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 3: you guys. 88 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things that I think is 89 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: really interesting about being here, and I've read it, but 90 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: I didn't understand. 91 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: It until I witnessed it over the last couple of days. 92 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: I think there's a misconception in America that if you 93 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: come to Israel, everyone in Israel is Jewish. Walking by yesterday, 94 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: walking in the markets, going to the whaling Wall, and 95 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: seeing Jesus' tomb. This is an insanely eclectic city. Yes, 96 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: with an incredible amount of the population is actually Muslim. 97 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people understand that. If 98 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,839 Speaker 1: you haven't studied history and studied Israel, that is something 99 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 1: that I think would shock many people if you've never come. 100 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, we're around a mile away from the Garden of Kesemite. 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 3: When you walk and you see all different people from 102 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 3: all around the world, Christians from also from Israel, great 103 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: Orthodox and priests and visitors that are treated with the 104 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 3: utmost respect and appreciation. But in Israel, where a country 105 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 3: with around seven point five million Jews, and twenty percent 106 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 3: of our population are non Jews. And so you have Arabs, 107 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: you have Drus, you have Bedouin, you have Muslims, you 108 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 3: have all different religions that have freedom, and of course 109 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: you have one of these. 110 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: So the key word there, I'm interrupting you freedom because 111 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,919 Speaker 1: what I watched yesterday was and I didn't realize this. 112 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 1: In the Old City, they were saying that almost forty 113 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: percent of the population is Muslim. Yeah, I would not 114 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: have known that if I wouldn't have witnessed it, because 115 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have known to ask that question. Right, And 116 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: they've talked about freedom, like freedom of religion, there is 117 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: no problem with where we see God is literally carrying 118 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: his cross, He's going to be die on to. Then 119 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: seeing a moss is the most one of the most 120 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: important moss in the Muslim faith. That is incredible that 121 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: they're they're that coexisting that close together. 122 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. To me, freedom also means of course respect and appreciation, 123 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: but also tangible build in this brotherhood. When you go 124 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 3: down the streets of Jerusalem, there's no sign that doesn't 125 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: have Arabic writing on it. You have Hebrew, you have English, 126 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 3: and you have Arabic every street sign, every holy site sign, 127 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: most store signs even And you can compare that to 128 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 3: where the rest of the Middle East is. In Israel 129 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 3: were seven point five million Jews with over two million 130 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 3: non Jews. In the entire Middle East, there are twenty 131 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 3: two Arab countries in one Jewish country. Israel sits on 132 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 3: a round point six percent of the land mass of 133 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: the Middle East. The Arab world has ninety nine point 134 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: four percent, and in the entire Middle East there aren't 135 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: even thirty thousand Jews that live there. And so when 136 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 3: you do that comparison, you realize what democracy means, what 137 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: freedom means, and we don't is. 138 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 2: Not a slogan Israel. You're living it out every single day. 139 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 3: Because we believe in it. Because we're not doing it 140 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 3: because of some piece of paper or to get that 141 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: label of democracy. We're doing it because we believe in 142 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 3: that as as these Judaeo Christian values, we believe in freedom. 143 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: We remember in the scripture, how many times does it remember? 144 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: Remember that you were a stranger in strange land. And 145 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: so Israel has the only growing Christian population in the 146 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: entire Middle East. In Bethlehem, even you see it going 147 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 3: down quickly. You look at Nazareth, Yeah, Christian population has grown. 148 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 3: You look at Bethlehem. Up until around nineteen ninety four, 149 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: Israel was in charge of Bethlehem and it was eighty 150 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: percent Christian. After nineteen ninety four, the Palestinian authority took 151 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: it over, and now it's under ten percent Christian. And 152 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: so when you talk about these kind of words that 153 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 3: in many ways have lost meaning, like freedom and democracy 154 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 3: because so many evil forces are taking advantage of it, 155 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 3: you see what the real ramifications are. And that's also 156 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 3: why we stand with our Christian brothers and sisters inside 157 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 3: of Syria who are being persecuted both as the state 158 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: of Israel and also the International Fellowship of Christians and 159 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: Jews who's gone in built two medical clinics for them, 160 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 3: distributed thousands of food. We need to stand together ben 161 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: now more than ever. 162 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: There's something interesting, and I think it's I say interesting 163 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 1: is a way of saying shocking that is happening right 164 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: now in the United States of America. I have clearly 165 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: I believe there's a line that's been drawn in the sand. 166 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: You either are anti Semitic and against Israel, or you 167 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: are standing with them. I don't believe there's a lot 168 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: of gray area unless you're just new and younger in learning. 169 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: But what we're witnessing in the conservative movement is something 170 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,319 Speaker 1: that I never could have imagined we would see. I 171 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: knew this would happen on the left and the Democrats, 172 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:38,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of them have abandoned Israel, and we 173 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: saw that, certainly in the last administration under Biden. But 174 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: what I'm shocked to see now is there is this 175 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: group on the right that has gained a very large audience. 176 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: What scares me even more, it's a younger audience, and 177 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: they are in this ideal this idealistic world of isolationism, 178 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: which is Israel is not it doesn't need to be, 179 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: is not a big deal to us. I don't understand 180 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: why there were such great allies to them. Why do 181 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: we give them a blank check? Is how it's been 182 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 1: said recently. They're committing Atroses is what I've been hearing. 183 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: Their genocide is another word that they used in Gods 184 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 1: in the West Bank. 185 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 2: And if you come here and you see what. 186 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: I've seen, not only do you know that's a lie, 187 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: but there's factual data to back it up. But even 188 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: if you haven't come here, I am terrified of what 189 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,160 Speaker 1: we're going to see in the Republican Party in the 190 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: next ten to fifteen years, as these younger people that 191 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: are being indoctrinated to hate Israel or hate Jews in general, 192 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: are gaining momentum legitimacy because of people that have very 193 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: large followings on social media. I've considered him a long 194 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,000 Speaker 1: time friend Tucker Carlson. I couldn't disagree with Tucker more 195 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: on the issue of Israel. I think friends should be 196 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 1: able to disagree, and that's why I'm not going to 197 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: attack him personally, but i am going to say on 198 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: this show publicly I disagree. And when I'm on TV 199 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 1: with Tucker Carlson, I have seen and I've known me 200 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: and Kelly for a long time. I disagree with her 201 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 1: on what she has been saying recently and some of 202 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: the people she's been talking to on Israel. Nick Flint 203 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: as a white supremacist full stop. I don't know why 204 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,319 Speaker 1: people are giving in platforms like Tucker good to the 205 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: the day. I even disagree with the Heritage Foundation, and 206 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm going through a list in my head because I'm 207 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: shocked Heritage Foundation the present there who is given a 208 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: platform to advocate for this or is supporting it even financially. 209 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 1: We've seen some of the numbers that come upou how 210 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: much everytime they've done on Tucker Carlson's show, and I 211 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: think it's important that we don't stay silent. Certainly is 212 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: a conservative leader in the Conservative movement and say this 213 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: is going down the wrong path? 214 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: Now? 215 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,560 Speaker 1: Can I love all those people? Can I still be 216 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: friends of them? I saw Tucker at Charlie Kirk's funeral. 217 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 2: We hugged. 218 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 1: I'm not winning a war with him, but I do 219 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 1: think there's an important point here where I want people 220 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 1: to know that I do believe something very different. How 221 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: concerned are you being in Israel seeing this? Where I 222 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: mean the Conservative movement, the Republican Party had been star 223 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: wars for my entire lifetime for Israel. Kay, who's the 224 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 1: ambassador is I'm going to see him tomorrow and I 225 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,760 Speaker 1: can't wait to see him. By the way, we were 226 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: texting earlier today and I'm so excited to see him 227 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 1: tomorrow for lunch. But like we are now becoming, I'm 228 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 1: a worried the minority in this in this fight, and 229 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,599 Speaker 1: I think now is the time that we have to 230 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 1: understand there's a real anti Semitic problem on our college chemists. 231 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: But not just from the left. It's also happening the 232 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: right and it terrifies me. 233 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, thank you for being so bold 234 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: in what you say and standing with your values and 235 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: being consistent in that no matter what that's what I 236 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 3: think we need in this world. I look at everything 237 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 3: through spiritual eyes, and so I see a spiritual warfare 238 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 3: that's raging. I see the words of Isaiah that are 239 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 3: coming to life, saying there's going to come a time 240 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: when darkness will be called light, and light will be 241 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 3: called darkness. Isaiah said it, good will be called bad, 242 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 3: bad will become good, and people are going to be confused. 243 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 3: And I see this confusion setting in. And it's not 244 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: differentiating between Republicans or Democrats. It's a confusion. It's a 245 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,720 Speaker 3: spiritual warf. And so what I always go back to 246 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,320 Speaker 3: when I'm confused is the scriptures is God's word. And 247 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 3: that's another issue. So many people are biblically illiterate. We're 248 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 3: trying to get educated on scriptures from podcasters. People are 249 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 3: going to their podcast instead of to their pastor, and 250 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 3: their church. Pastors are scared of speaking out because they 251 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: don't want to be canceled. That God's word has become 252 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 3: so controversial. It's not Israel, it's the entire Bible. It's 253 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: all of what God said and has withstood much worse 254 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: things than where we are right now. But we have 255 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 3: to learn from history and make sure it doesn't get there. 256 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 3: But I truly believe that on one hand, we're seeing 257 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: a generation of darkness and people who are confused, and 258 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 3: people who are really spreading things that are evil, people 259 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 3: who in the name of trying to free Palestine, are 260 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 3: actually keeping the Palestinian children and people oppressed by this 261 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: terror group Ramas. They're not standing up for the Palestinian people. 262 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,840 Speaker 3: They're standing up for Ramas, which for me says everything. 263 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 3: It's a confusion. But when I see that darkness, Ben, 264 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 3: I also for myself, I need to make sure that 265 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: I express in every possible way how there's also to 266 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 3: counter maybe balance that darkness, this light that we've never 267 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 3: seen of a generation of Corey teenboons. And Pastor Bonhoeffer's 268 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,719 Speaker 3: who Pastor Vonhaffer, one of my favorite quotes from him, 269 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: He said, God doesn't care about how you feel. He 270 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: cares about truth. And there are so many people like 271 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,959 Speaker 3: what you just declared that care about truth. God says, 272 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 3: pray for the peace of Jerusalem. God says, to to 273 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 3: love our neighbor like ourself, to be able to put 274 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 3: our hand out to peace. When you see the Abraham Accords, 275 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: and how Israel's been able to maintain this relationship with 276 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 3: Arab countries because it's incredible, Yes, because they recognize and 277 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 3: they share the same threat. The threat is radical Islam, 278 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: and so there's there's a confusion, yes, But there's also 279 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: so many people with the strongest moral clarity, like you, 280 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 3: people who are forced now to speak out for the 281 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: first time ever. And I just pray, pray, pray that 282 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 3: those voices will grow and that the light will outshine 283 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: the darkness. 284 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how 285 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our 286 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand, 287 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just 288 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: that for more than twelve years.

I do think 316 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that we've witnessed right now with 317 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: something good coming out of something terrible in the attacks 318 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: October seventh attacks on Israel. 319 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 2: Is that one you know who your friends are. 320 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, But two you've had President Trump really step up 321 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: and go after your enemies. 322 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: Iran is one of them. 323 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: How significant is President Trump's leadership do you believe for 324 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: the safety of Israel and not just Israel, but for 325 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: the world.

Like he is a 328 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: man that I think clearly his legacy he wanted to 329 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: be that he kept people safe, he protected the innocent, 330 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 1: and went after the evil.

It's not a passive statement. And so 340 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 3: a strong America brings a strong world. And we've seen 341 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 3: that firsthand. I was at President Trump's speech at the 342 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: Knesset just a few weeks ago, and it was incredible 343 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 3: to see how in Israel that's so divided politically, the 344 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,199 Speaker 3: right and the left, we're hugging and giving each other 345 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 3: high fives and genuine smiles and genuine because what we're 346 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 3: ultimately looking for ben both the right and the left, 347 00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: and we can't lose sight of this. We're looking for 348 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: a better world. We're looking for peace. And President Trump 349 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: in the Abraham Accords, in the historic peace agreement that 350 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 3: he just drew, now that got every single living Israeli 351 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 3: hostage back from Gaza strip. Just yesterday, the American hostages 352 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 3: body was returned to Israel. But you know that's not 353 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 3: reported on America. 354 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: Now, it's not a lot of people don't know that. 355 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: They're listening right now. Why was that? And that's a 356 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: huge victory. 357 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,680 Speaker 3: After over two hundred and fifty days that an American 358 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: young adult was being held his body by terrorists and Gaza. 359 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: Americans don't even know that because of President Trump's agreement, 360 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,439 Speaker 3: we got that body back from burial to his parents. 361 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 3: Many Americans don't even know that. Yeah, and so I 362 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: think that strength in the right way brings peace closer, 363 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 3: not farther away. And I'll tell you that I say 364 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: that as somebody who is not involved in politics. I'm 365 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: a humanitarian. I distribute over three hundred three million meals 366 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 3: a year in Israel, from north to south, in every 367 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 3: different community, from Nazareth to the Christian community to Jerusalem, 368 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 3: to carry out Shmona where our soup kitchen was hit 369 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 3: by Iraq. Within twenty four hours, we were distributing food again. 370 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 3: And I do that on behalf of Christians who stand 371 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 3: with Israel and love Israel. And so I'm not a politician. 372 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 3: I'm an individual when you speak in this way, but 373 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 3: it's very clear the right kind of strength protects those 374 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:23,239 Speaker 3: people who should be protected and weakens those who are 375 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,240 Speaker 3: trying to wreak havoc. And I say that also as 376 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 3: a mother who just yesterday brought my nineteen year old 377 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 3: daughter to the Israeli Army. 378 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: You bring up something that I witnessed yesterday and it 379 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: is something that I do actually wish America had. You know, 380 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of anti Americanism that is growing within 381 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: our country, with young people that are barrass of America, 382 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: that hate America. That think America is evil, that America's 383 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 1: history is awful, that America should be torn down and 384 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: turned back into some sort of utopia under socialism or 385 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 1: communism or Marxism. One of the things that I think 386 00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: is so incredible about Israel is whether you're a man 387 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: or a if you're able bodied, you're going to give 388 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: two years to your government. 389 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: In serving your government. 390 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: Yesterday, as I was walking, we witness dozens and dozens 391 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 1: of different groups of I say, kids now being forty. Gosh, 392 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: when I forty four haveever old I am who are 393 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen who are serving their military walking around with 394 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: machine guns. I didn't find that threatening. I thought it 395 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,400 Speaker 1: was amazing, And I'm like, dude, I wish we did 396 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 1: this in America, because if you serve your country for 397 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: two years, I think you're going to love your country 398 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: a lot more than if you are being in doctrinatey 399 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: like we are. Our kids in our public school education 400 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: to hate our country. And it's the amount of pride 401 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: that people that live in Israel have in their nation 402 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: has to be connected to that. 403 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 3: In some way, we could disagree with our government and 404 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,959 Speaker 3: still love our country. We could disagree with the politicians 405 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 3: or some decisions they make and still love one another. 406 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,639 Speaker 2: I mean proove that BB does not have one hundred 407 00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 2: percent approval rating. 408 00:20:58,560 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 3: No he doesn't. 409 00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, nowhere close. 410 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: And I think that goes to the point that you're 411 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,639 Speaker 1: saying you can love your country and also disagree on 412 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 1: the political side of things. 413 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 3: In America's country in the world, it's the country of freedom, 414 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 3: is a country of Opportunity's country. If you want to 415 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 3: go out and work, you'd make a good life for yourself. 416 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 3: There's no one holding it back. Was your daughter excited, 417 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. 418 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: I mean, I know as a mom, I've got three boys, 419 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: you're freaking out right, because at any point serving in 420 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: the military could become a very deadly thing. It's not 421 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: a time of peace really over here. I think at 422 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: any point in my lifetime, there's always there's always a 423 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: real threat that you're watching, even if it's not all 424 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: at war. You guys experienced war a lot more than 425 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: we do in the US. Your war is much more 426 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: hand to hand than it is, you know, shooting drones 427 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: shots from the sky like we did our B two 428 00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: bombers or whatever it is that are bombing. 429 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 2: I mean, it is very different. 430 00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: But like the kids that I saw, like they seem 431 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: to be pretty pumped. And there's an ignorance when you're 432 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen about just like this is what I do 433 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: and I'm excited. So I know your fear is a 434 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: mom right, but your daughter was. 435 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 2: She excited. 436 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 3: So I called this spend the broken ground of getting 437 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: what you prayed for. From the time our children were 438 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 3: born here in Israel, my husband and I would always pray, 439 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: let them be connected to family, let them be connected 440 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 3: to God, let them be protected, connected to this land 441 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 3: and to God's word. And we got what we prayed for. 442 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: But that means that, yes, my daughter was very excited 443 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 3: to join the army, not because the violence. She's not 444 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 3: excited to kill people, it's not She's excited to protect 445 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 3: and serve. And after October seventh, and she always volunteered 446 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 3: at soup kitchens through high school, and she volunteered on 447 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 3: an ambulance and took the course. And after October seventh, 448 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 3: I looked at her and I said, my love, do 449 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: you still want to serve? You know, as you see 450 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 3: your peers. I can't tell you how many funerals of 451 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 3: nineteen year olds I've been at with my daughter. In 452 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 3: the past two years, I can't count. 453 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,440 Speaker 2: And so when you say that, you're not talking five 454 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 2: or six, You're talking. 455 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 3: A lot of funerals, a lot of funerals. 456 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 1: And that's one of the things I think people to 457 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 1: understand about this war, the number of people that died 458 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: in this war, that we're just trying to protect and 459 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: defend their people. 460 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 2: Their pry protect just to procure it's significant. Yeah. 461 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 3: Yeah. And she looked at me and she said, Mummy, 462 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 3: if I was at all hesitant about joining the army, 463 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: which I wasn't, now even that tiny hesitation is gone. 464 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 3: If I don't protect this land, we won't have it. 465 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 3: If I don't protect my people, they won't be safe. 466 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 3: And if I don't stand on these borders watching, we 467 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 3: won't have a future. That she went with such faith 468 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 3: and confidence that this is God's calling on her life, 469 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: and as a mother, I couldn't be more proud and worried. 470 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: And I'm praying like I never prayed before. But what 471 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 3: else do you want for your child then to love God, 472 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,479 Speaker 3: love the land, and love their people. 473 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 1: Let's talk about what the IFCJ is doing. And this 474 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 1: is day one of me broadcasting live here from Israel. 475 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: My guess with me is the President Global CEO of 476 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: the IFCJ. You can go to IFCJ dot org to 477 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: find out more. Yale Exstein, and y'all, let's talk about 478 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: what I've just experienced with IFCJ since I've been here. 479 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: I had the privilege today of delivering food to a 480 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: woman that's basically bedridden. 481 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 2: She cannot work. 482 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 1: Her son has a pretty intense epilepsy, so he can't work. 483 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,879 Speaker 1: She's a caretaker for him, even though he's I think 484 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: she said he's fifty three. She desperately needs the food 485 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: that comes. It was you could just tell by the 486 00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: condition of where she lived in her home and the 487 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: stipend that she receives in the government's very small. It's 488 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: less than so security in the US, and to see 489 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: how thankful she was and tell her story, and she 490 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,120 Speaker 1: cried a lot because she was so thankful that there 491 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: is a group like IFCJ that is giving her the 492 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 1: food she needs to live, so she can also live 493 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: for her son, because when she's gone, there's no one 494 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: else to take care of him. He will go into 495 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: some sort of assisted living mental health facility. From what 496 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 1: we were told today, She clearly doesn't want that to 497 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: happen anytime soon.

They do a lot of different things, 502 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: but one of the things you guys do is you 503 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: mentioned the meals. How many meals do you guys deliver 504 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: to people in Israel a month or a year. 505 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 3: Just from soup kitchens, we'd deliver over three million meals 506 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 3: a year. And that's besides hundreds of thousands every single 507 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 3: month that we're delivering through food boxes, food tickets, food cards, 508 00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: meals on wheels. There's nowhere in Israel that there's a 509 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: person in need that doesn't have access to food from 510 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 3: the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and we even 511 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 3: help the government of Israel build the first nation small 512 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:04,120 Speaker 3: food program in America. There's food stamps that at least 513 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 3: someone could have food even if they're very poor. Israel, 514 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,399 Speaker 3: we have to remember as a young country, and it 515 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 3: was started by. 516 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 2: Let's remind you how young it. 517 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 3: Is nineteen forty eight Israel was established, but it shouldn't 518 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 3: be forgotten then. 519 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: My parents' lifetime. Where I was sitting yesterday was actually Jordan. 520 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,120 Speaker 3: Mm hmmm, hmm. 521 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:22,959 Speaker 2: That's just crazy to me. We were standing in part 522 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:24,520 Speaker 2: of the old Sting and they're like, just so you know, 523 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 2: you were standing. 524 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: In Georgia and Jews weren't allowed there and. 525 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 2: Jews weren't allowed there and that was until what year? 526 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 3: That was until the nineteen sixty seven. 527 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 2: That was okay, Yeah, So nineteen sixty. 528 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,679 Speaker 3: Nineteen sixty seven is when we got Jerusalem after the 529 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 3: Arab countries attacked Israel trying to take away the little 530 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 3: piece of Israel that we had. They lost in Israel 531 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: conquered Jerusalem in six days and whenever. 532 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: Israel concert, that is the famous war. 533 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 3: That's the famous war. Six days, six days, you work, 534 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 3: on the seventh day, you rest, And that was the 535 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: War of Jerusalem. But it's it's you know, there was 536 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,439 Speaker 3: a very famous quote for Warren Buffett. He said, it's 537 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 3: easier to make money than it is to effectively distribute it. Yeah, 538 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 3: and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews has excellence 539 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 3: in distributing because our average donation is around fifty dollars 540 00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 3: a month. We recognize every single penny makes a difference, 541 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 3: and so every meal is done with integrity and given 542 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 3: with full love and respect. But we do it in 543 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,479 Speaker 3: a way that is as cost effective as possible. We 544 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 3: work with an organization that saves fruits and vegetables that 545 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:34,160 Speaker 3: would otherwise be thrown out from fields across Israel. They're 546 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,320 Speaker 3: in perfect condition and we are able to distribute them 547 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 3: too elderly as soup in the winter. That we're always 548 00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,439 Speaker 3: finding new ways both to hold the government of Israel 549 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 3: accountable and get matching funds and give them our plans 550 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,840 Speaker 3: of how you can effectively distribute food, but also to 551 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 3: wherever we see someone that's hungry, be there to say, 552 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: just like the woman that you met today, this is 553 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,120 Speaker 3: from Christians around the world who love you, and very often, Ben, 554 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 3: it's the food, of course, another day of living, another 555 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 3: day of having that sustenance that they've been praying for. 556 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 3: But even more than that, I think it's feeling loved the. 557 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: People loved you talk about love. 558 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: One of the other things that we got to witness 559 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 1: today was there's a really cool project and I hope 560 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: that people in America will do this where elderly a 561 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: lot of them eighty years older above, can come every 562 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: day and they can paint and help create things they're 563 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: sold in the gift shop and they get subsidized about 564 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: thirty percent of their pension or their government aid to 565 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: come and do this. 566 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 2: And many of them have been doing it. 567 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: For twenty twenty five, twenty seven years. There's even six 568 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: married couples who work there. They're not allowed to work together, 569 00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 1: which is even help more funny to that, Like, it 570 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: was hysterical when I found that out. 571 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 2: But there were people in their nineties. There were people. 572 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: There's a woman who's legally blind and they basically created 573 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: a way for her to still make her projects. It 574 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: was some of the most beautiful like throws. There was 575 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 1: some table runners that they make can make. They're just 576 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: beautiful pot pottery that they were pan painted. 577 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 2: And you see this and you're like, these people have 578 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 2: a purpose and. 579 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: They were loving what they were doing at this age, 580 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: giving them a place where they belong. They were saying 581 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: during COVID that thirty percent of the workers could didn't 582 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 1: come back afterwards because they said in their homes and 583 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 1: they lost that skill at that older age. They lost 584 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: the ability to be mobile and go get on the bus, 585 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: which is so sad, but also tells you how much 586 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: community matters. You're not isolated, you're not home alone. And 587 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 1: that's one of the things that you guys Ifcj's sponsor, 588 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: which is amazing giving these elderly people a place to 589 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,800 Speaker 1: be important and significant and also to creates thing beautiful. 590 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's incredible because all those elderly that you saw 591 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 3: live below the poverty line. They live on around six 592 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 3: hundred dollars a month. Almost all of them are immigrants 593 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,200 Speaker 3: to Israel. You see the Ethiopians together from the once 594 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 3: last tribe of Dan and they're speaking I'm Hurrik. And 595 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 3: you see the Russians sitting together and speaking Russian, and 596 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 3: the Ukrainians and the French, and many of them don't 597 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 3: have family. 598 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: And so this simple this is their family. 599 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: This is their family. We give them a bus card 600 00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 3: that they're able to come, but for them that saves 601 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 3: them money and gives them somewhere to go. We give 602 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 3: them a place to go where they can actually be 603 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: valued and develop a skill and be selling their work. 604 00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 3: And we give them lunch every day that for them. 605 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,680 Speaker 1: Maybe they're only hot meal of the day we found 606 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: out today, which is incredible. 607 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 3: Yes, yes, it's saving lives and it's you know, in 608 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 3: the scriptures, we see God says specifically feed the hungry, 609 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 3: clothe the naked, shelter the poor, and so that's what 610 00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 3: we do. We look at all of our philanthropy here 611 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 3: in Israel, all of our projects are saving lives through 612 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 3: the eyes of what does the scripture say? And so 613 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,760 Speaker 3: every day we have Jews returning home to Israel from 614 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,720 Speaker 3: the four corners of the Earth. We bring them on 615 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 3: Alia from places where they're persecuted, from South America, from 616 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 3: across the former Soviet Union, from France, from countries I 617 00:30:56,120 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 3: can't even say on air because they're secretive and it 618 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: be dangerous. But there's still Jews coming home every single 619 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 3: day with the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews because 620 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:08,840 Speaker 3: that's what it says in the scriptures. 621 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,440 Speaker 1: You guys, purpose is incredible and I hope that people 622 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 1: that are listening will go check you out IFCJ dot org. 623 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 2: That's IFCJ dot org and you can just see what 624 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 2: they do. 625 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: There's a lot of videos online, so you can check 626 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: them out on social media. What are the biggest needs 627 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 1: now with the ceasefire, because the work now is really 628 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 1: just begun. In many ways, that's also part of what 629 00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 1: I've witnessed here. A lot of people lost their homes, 630 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: a lot of people lost where they live, they lost 631 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 1: their communities. There's a lot of needs right now, and 632 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: there are going to be a lot of needs for 633 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 1: some time, because when you have a basically a three 634 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: year war, it is it changes your community, especially. 635 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 2: The areas that were hit hard. 636 00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: What are the needs now that that are for people 637 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: that are listening that might want to get. 638 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 3: Involved, Well, let me give you an example what rebuilding means. 639 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 3: Rebuilding means that there's communities the Kibusim on the border 640 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 3: with Gaza that we're invaded on October seventh. 641 00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 2: And explain to people, I know what it is, but 642 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:02,719 Speaker 2: it's neighborhoods. 643 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: It's neighborhoods, a neighborhood, just like we're going nine percent 644 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: people listening right now, it's you imagine your neighborhood as 645 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: a neighborhood being attacked exactly. 646 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 3: It's a neighborhood that has its own grocery store, that 647 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,480 Speaker 3: has its own kindergartens and schools, that has homes that 648 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 3: but it's a closer community. The term keyboots kind of 649 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 3: alludes to very very close knit community where everyone's doing 650 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 3: things together. You don't lock your doors, you go into 651 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,440 Speaker 3: people's houses without knocking, you eat meals together. It's a 652 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:32,160 Speaker 3: very close knit community, which is beautiful, which is why 653 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 3: they always said we have the best life here. And 654 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 3: those homes, those buildings are all destroyed. I was just 655 00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: in near O's where one in four people from that 656 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 3: community were either killed or kidnapped. The homes are destroyed. 657 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: I say that again in four and I can say 658 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,320 Speaker 1: this because I want to paint the picture. Imagine your 659 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: neighborhood where you're listening right now. I live in a gated, 660 00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: guarded community. One in four in my neighborhood was gone 661 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: on the day of the attack. 662 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,960 Speaker 3: Ye including the Bibas family, those beautiful redhead kids one 663 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 3: year old and three year old and their mother who 664 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 3: are kidnapped and then murdered, and they were taken just 665 00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 3: a mile away into Gaza. You have to realize how 666 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,800 Speaker 3: close things are. It's these communities are a mile away 667 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,880 Speaker 3: from the Gaza strip where Hamas terrorists are planning their 668 00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 3: next October seventh, But these communities are still destroyed, but 669 00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 3: people want to go back. That's the resilience here in Israel. 670 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,880 Speaker 3: We believe in life, we believe in planting, we believe 671 00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 3: in rebuilding. And they turned to the Fellowship and said, 672 00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:37,200 Speaker 3: we need our kindergarten at least refurbished so we could 673 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 3: send our children to a kindergarten that's not burnt and destroyed. 674 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: And so the Fellowship now is renovating all the kindergartens 675 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,640 Speaker 3: on the border with Gaza. You have the hospital that 676 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 3: was hit by Iranian ballistic missile. An entire floor of 677 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: the hospital, the surgical unit was destroyed. 678 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: Do you know why buy an Iranian missile? 679 00:33:57,440 --> 00:34:00,960 Speaker 3: Buy an Iranian missile. The reason why there weren't hundreds 680 00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,000 Speaker 3: of deaths there is because the day before they made 681 00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 3: the decision to close down this unsecured surgical unit and 682 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,120 Speaker 3: move everyone to the Mimi Gan, which means armored or 683 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 3: protected surgical unit that the International Fellowship of Christians and 684 00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 3: Jews sponsored and built just a few years before. 685 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: One of the things that you guys do that I 686 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,960 Speaker 1: also think is so incredible is you give out I 687 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: think a lot of people think that there's like unlimited 688 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 1: funds in Israel, not true by the government. That's a lie. 689 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 1: I've witnessed it. A lot of people think the Israel's 690 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: are very rich country is actually not. And one of 691 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: the things that I also think misconceptions is why I 692 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,440 Speaker 1: tell people to come here, is that there's just a 693 00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: plentiful amount of military goods. 694 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 2: Also not true. 695 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: You guys give out armored vehicles, armored military vehicles, also 696 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:58,719 Speaker 1: armored ambulances, flat jackets, basically bullet provests for first responders 697 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: that are not provided by the by the government here 698 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:01,920 Speaker 1: in Israel. 699 00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 2: That is how real the need is. 700 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: Yes. On October seventh, then our team was at the 701 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 3: place the farthest you could go that the military would 702 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:14,719 Speaker 3: let you go on the way down south, handing out 703 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 3: bulletproof vests because when all the other infrastructures fell apart, 704 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:20,880 Speaker 3: we were there to provide and so for the heroes 705 00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 3: going down south to try to save lives, we were 706 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 3: just passing out bulletproof vests. And I was watching television 707 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,280 Speaker 3: and there was a live interview with one of these heroes, 708 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 3: a civilian hero who was driving down south in his 709 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 3: car and wearing his vest, and he came under live 710 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,440 Speaker 3: fire on TV from Ramas terrorists and he got out 711 00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 3: of his cars. He's still reporting and he's hiding in 712 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:42,719 Speaker 3: the bushes and he's trying to figure out what to do, 713 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden you see he's wearing a 714 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 3: vest from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews. And 715 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 3: the person who led so much of this heroic work 716 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:57,439 Speaker 3: saving countless lives on October seventh was Keith Isaacson. He's 717 00:35:57,480 --> 00:35:59,919 Speaker 3: the head of security for that area that the old 718 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 3: The only reason why he survived is because the Fellowship 719 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 3: provided him with a bulletproof vehicle. He was shot at 720 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 3: over two dozen times. Even the wheels are bulletproof. 721 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 2: Wow. 722 00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 3: So without that car, he wouldn't be alive, and many 723 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,160 Speaker 3: other people wouldn't be alive. Because it's only because he 724 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 3: was alive he was able to arrange for the rescue. 725 00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,400 Speaker 3: I was on the ground during the Iranian War at 726 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 3: a site where a huge missile hit. Six buildings were destroyed. 727 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: Me and my team were there as there were still 728 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 3: first responders working trying to uncover the bodies, trying to 729 00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 3: save people's lives. And as they were working, I realized 730 00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,880 Speaker 3: there's sirens going off, there's missiles falling, and they don't 731 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,040 Speaker 3: have flack jackets, and so immediately we went and provided them. 732 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 3: These first responders need to be protected, both because they 733 00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,520 Speaker 3: deserve to be that's what's right, that's what's just. These 734 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,960 Speaker 3: people risking their lives instead of being in the bomb 735 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 3: shelter with their family should be protected. But also because 736 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:59,040 Speaker 3: the bombs that are trying to kill them are coming 737 00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,719 Speaker 3: from evil and the black jackets that are protecting them 738 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 3: are coming from forces of good Christians who are saying, 739 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,520 Speaker 3: we sanctify life. And that's a message that we have 740 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,880 Speaker 3: to shout off of rooftops. There are still people in 741 00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,440 Speaker 3: this world who sanctify life. 742 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,160 Speaker 1: I tell you what, as we wrap this day one 743 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: here in Israel, and I'm going to have a lot 744 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,640 Speaker 1: more to share with you guys tomorrow, so make sure 745 00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,960 Speaker 1: you listen to the show all week long.
