Welcome everybody, Tuesday edition of Clay and Buck. 3 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: This is Buck coming to you solo today. Clay is 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: at the Tunnel to Towers event raising money for our 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,560 Speaker 1: favorite charity and the amazing work that Donald the Towers 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: Foundation does. We have a lot to discuss today. As 7 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: you know, still by far biggest most important story in 8 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: the world is the situation unfold and continuing to unfold 9 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:41,560 Speaker 1: with Israel and Gaza. It's hamas enemy. More information coming out, 10 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: more video, and we'll get into those details. I'll bring 11 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: you up to speed on this. We also have a 12 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: couple of excellent guests to join talk about this and 13 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: other things, including Miranda Devine of The New York Post 14 00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: and Tutor Dixon. I will say that, well, we'll get 15 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: into this, and I want to give you all a 16 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: warning that some of the things we're going to talk 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: about are horrific beyond the imagination of people with even 18 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 1: a shred of a soul of decency. As I discussed 19 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: some of these incidents with you, I will do my 20 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: very best not to become overly emotional, but I think 21 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: it is also very important that we understand the full force, 22 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: full scale, and depravity of the evil that has been 23 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: unleashed on our Jewish brothers and sisters in the state 24 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: of Israel and what has happened here. So I wanted 25 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: to prepare you for that. There's we are going to 26 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: go into a darkness together today for the whole show, 27 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: because we cannot, you know, bring ourselves to a place 28 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: where we feel despair. The Israelis have mobilized the forces 29 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: of civilization are going to fight against this barbarism and 30 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: defeat it. I am very confident of that, and I 31 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: will tell you that we'll get to some other news 32 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 1: stories as well today, even though we could spend all 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: three hours talking only about this, but I think we 34 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 1: need to have some for our own emotional and psychological benefit. 35 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: Here some moments of reprieve from the evil that Hamas 36 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: has engaged and is still engaging in as in this conflict. 37 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: Now Israel has retaken the towns near Gaza and has 38 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: re established border control. We've seen more of the tactical 39 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: reality here, how this surprise attack was pulled off, what happened, 40 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: and some of the information that we're getting now about 41 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: what the Palestinian Hamas fighters did. 42 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: It. 43 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: Honestly, it is a Nazi level viciousness that is not 44 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: even the slightest overstatement for those who are familiar with 45 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: the history of what the Japanese did in Nanking in Japan, 46 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: I mean in China, the rape of Nanking. It is 47 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 1: evil on that level. It is something that is it 48 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: is going to haunt us, I believe, unfortunately for a 49 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: long time to come, just the knowledge of what has 50 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: gone on here. Close to a thousand dead already in 51 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: Israel as we know, but as we are seeing more 52 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: of these, more of these stories, more of what has 53 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: gone on here. This is the clip that I think 54 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: is this is the one that I'm going to warn 55 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: you just hearing about this is going to be distressing, 56 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: but we need to know the evil we face. This 57 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: is I twenty four News reporter Nicole Zadek. This is 58 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: our fourth, our fourth clip on the Sheet Team, and 59 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: she is telling you about a discovery of what these 60 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: Hamas terrorists did. That is it is gut wrenching, but 61 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: we need to face this evil together. Play clip for it's. 62 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: Hard to even explain exactly just the mass casualties that happened, 63 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: right here. In fact, the Israeli military says they still 64 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: don't have a clear number. But I'm talking to some 65 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: of the soldiers and they say what they've witnessed as 66 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: they've been walking through these different houses, these different communities. 67 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: Babies their heads caught off, that's what they said, gunned down, 68 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 3: families completely gunned down in their beds. 69 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 1: Hamas went house to house, murdered men, women and children, 70 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 1: and decapitated babies in their cribs. It's it's honestly hard 71 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: to comprehend this level of evil. It is an affirmation 72 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: of the devil in my mind, of the true and 73 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: utter depravity of evil that is still very much alive 74 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: in this world. The other side of it, of course, 75 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: is that there is light, there is God, there is decency, 76 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: there is truth, there is goodness in this world that 77 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 1: fights against this. We always have to remember that, because 78 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: otherwise you can begin to fall into despair. But that 79 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: there could be that there could be people who would 80 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: do what these Hamas terrorists did. 81 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: It. 82 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: Honestly, I don't even know how we can psychologically go there. Babies, 83 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: the decapitated babies, the level of viciousness and sadism that 84 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: has been on display from this attack, the fact that 85 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: the deception that made this possible was that maybe Hamas 86 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: was trying to reach out with its hand, maybe Hamas 87 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: was finally this was the head fake, if you will, 88 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,600 Speaker 1: It says though they extended a hand to say, okay, Israel, 89 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: maybe we can talk here, and then when Israel was 90 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: getting Israel has extended its hand so many times. But 91 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: as Israel was getting ready to say, all right, let's 92 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: work towards civilization, let's work to something better, Hamas pulled 93 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:58,280 Speaker 1: out a dagger and stabbed them in the throat. There 94 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: is no salvation this entity. There is no you know, yes, 95 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: God will be the ultimate judge of them, but there 96 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: is no way that Israel can ever deal with this 97 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: terrorist entity as anything other than a band of anti Semitic, 98 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: sadistic murderers. Ever again, ever, again. This is now beyond 99 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, militants fighting, attacking targets anything like that. This 100 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: is a show of brutality and barbarism that was specifically 101 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: designed and we know this was planned weeks and events. 102 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: We know the Iranians were involved in this. We know 103 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: that Hesbola is supportive of this and may perhaps even 104 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: enter this conflict at some point. We'll discuss more of 105 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: those geopolitical realities later on here in the program. But 106 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: they did this to show the level of their hatred 107 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: and the ferocity of their evil. This was not an 108 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: attack meant to take back land. This was not about resources. 109 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: This was not about negotiations, This was not about historical injustice, 110 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: This was not about oppression. This was Hamas hates the 111 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: Jews to the point that it's so called fighters or 112 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: militants are willing to do the most obscene, brutal, horrific 113 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: things to women, to children, to babies, to plan, to 114 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: do so in advance, and to execute on those plans. 115 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: This is a reminder to me, as you all know, 116 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: I joined the CIA after nine to eleven because I 117 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: wanted to do something to help. I wanted to help 118 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: my country as millions join the Armed Services as you know, 119 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: and serves with tremendous distinction and courage in Iraq, Afghanistan 120 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: and other places around the world, many of which you know, 121 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 1: some of which aren't really talked about, to fight this 122 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: Jiehattist menace. And I remember back then we had this 123 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: understanding of what we were facing, the enemies of civilization. 124 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: Hamas is an enemy of civilization. It is an entity 125 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 1: of barbarism. And therefore all civilized people, all people who 126 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: believe in any of the fundamental human virtues, are united 127 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:38,080 Speaker 1: against Hamas now. And I know you're seeing these horrible protests. 128 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: I know you're seeing these people saying the most vile 129 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,559 Speaker 1: anti Semitic things. What they are doing, they are expressing, 130 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: they are putting on display the blackness of their hearts, 131 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: the destruction, the erosion and destruction of their own souls. 132 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: In a sense, it's enraging. In another sense, it's deeply tragic. 133 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 1: These people, they are condemning their own souls in ways 134 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,599 Speaker 1: that there are I'm talking about now, just the protesters, 135 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: you know, the idiots running around who are saying, oh, yeah, 136 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: this was about somehow establishing a Palestinian state, and this 137 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 1: is a universities in this country, thirty one entities at Harvard. 138 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: But I remember when I was in the CIA, and 139 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: as an analyst, I was trying to do what I 140 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 1: could to help, you know, I always try to be 141 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: very honest about what I was and was not involved in. 142 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 1: It's one of the reasons I have so much respect 143 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: for the warfighter. The door kicker the guys who were 144 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: going in there and risking their lives day in and 145 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: day out. I was trying to help them. I was 146 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: not one of them, but I remember pulling together the 147 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: intelligence on an incident where Al Qaeda in Iraq went 148 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: into two unimportant, strategically speaking villages with massive truck bombs, 149 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 1: and this was out in the west of the country 150 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,359 Speaker 1: and they just killed as many people as they possibly could. 151 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: And I remember when we were doing our analysis and 152 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 1: looking at the and we had obviously access to some 153 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: of their communications, and we had an understanding of what 154 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: was who was behind this and the motivation behind this. 155 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: It was jihadist terrorism, very similar to the jihadist airs. 156 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: Remember al Qaida in Iraq anti submiticate the Jews want 157 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: to destroy Israel Hamas anti submiticate the Jews want to 158 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 1: destroy Israel. There was a thread that runs through these ideologies. 159 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: But I remember when we were looking at this, this 160 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: incident in Iraq and trying to understand how could these 161 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: jihadists why spend the time and resources to kill hundreds 162 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: And it was hundreds of people killed in one bombing. 163 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 1: I forget the total number, but it was I believe 164 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 1: one of the largest mass casualty events. It may have 165 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: been the largest mass casualty event of the entire Iraq War. 166 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 1: And the answer is because they're a nihilistic death cult 167 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: and they wanted to kill a lot of people and 168 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: there were people in those towns that they didn't like, 169 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:13,079 Speaker 1: so they just did it. Had no war aim, really 170 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: no strategic value. No, this will allow us to gain 171 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,199 Speaker 1: an upper hand so that maybe we'll have our own 172 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: independent state or anything like that. It was just let's 173 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 1: murder as many of the other as we possibly can, 174 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: because our hearts are full of hate. That is the 175 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: same mentality, the same belief that you see on display 176 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: with Jimas and these fighters. It's not about nineteen forty eight. 177 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: It's not about nineteen sixty three. It's not about nineteen 178 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: seventy two. It's not about land for peace. It's not 179 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: about UN Resolution two four to two. It's not about 180 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 1: UN Resolution three three eight. It's not about any it's 181 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 1: not about Camp David Accords. It is they have chosen 182 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: a path of hate, of evil, and now it is 183 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 1: on us to come together the entire civilized world to 184 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: recognize Hamas as an enemy of civilization and our Israeli 185 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters and all of their allies and us 186 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,199 Speaker 1: here in America on one side of this issue shields high, 187 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: shoulder to shoulder, and that is where we stand today. 188 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: Let's get into some of the specifics on this issue 189 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,559 Speaker 1: and what's happening on the ground. There's more details I 190 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: want to share with you, and as I said, I 191 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: don't want to spend all of the show today on this. 192 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 1: There's some other news stories, other things we're going to 193 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,439 Speaker 1: get into as well, because I think we all need that. 194 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: I know I need that. This has shaken me up 195 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, this whole incident and reading about it 196 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: and studying what has gone on here to bring you 197 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,239 Speaker 1: the best information that I can. There is an emotional 198 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: toll from this. I've seen what it looks like. I've 199 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: seen the aftermath of suicide bombings, mean, what al Qaeda 200 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: does to prisoners, same thing that's going on right now 201 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: in Gaza. So we'll talk about it, but we're also 202 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: get into some other stories and if you have any 203 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: thoughts you want to share about what's going on right 204 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: now in with Israel and if you have some analysis 205 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: about what you think is going to how Iran may 206 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: factor into this lines are open eight hundred two ay 207 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: two to eight A two All right from our sponsor. Here, 208 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: there's something that speaks at the very core of our 209 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: values as Americans. It's about a veteran owned company on 210 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: a mission to make a real difference in the lives 211 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: of our military members. I'm talking about my cell phone company, 212 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: Pure Talk. Our veterans gave everything to protect our nation, 213 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: and Pure Talk understands the sacrifices they've made. They've set 214 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: an ambitious goal to eliminate ten million dollars in military 215 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: debt by Veterans Day. But they can't do it alone. 216 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: They need your involvement. When you switch to Pure talks 217 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: super fast five G network, they'll donate a portion of 218 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: every new order to this noble cause. You can make 219 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: a real difference just by choosing superior cell phone service, 220 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 1: which is the same one that I have and I 221 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: use every day. Pure Talks plans start at just twenty 222 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: bucks a month, offering unlimited talk, text, more data, and 223 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: a mobile hotspot. Just dial pound two fifty and say 224 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: the keyword Clay and Buck to make the switch. Let's 225 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: show our unwavering support for our veterans. Dial pound two 226 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: five zero, say Clay and Buck make the switch to 227 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 1: pure talk today. It's the right move and it's the 228 00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: American way, helping you separate truth from fiction every single 229 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: weekday the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show. 230 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 2: I think this is worse than nine to eleven for 231 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 2: Israel in some important respects. First, to sin shere proportionality, 232 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 2: it's about like twenty five thousand Americans being killed a 233 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 2: few take the proportions of our populations respectively. Second is 234 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 2: you know, we didn't. 235 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 1: Have hostages being held out to nine to eleven. 236 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: Third, we didn't have rockets rained down our entire country. 237 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 2: Our entire country was in bomb shelters. 238 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 1: And fourth, we didn't have a. 239 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: Mass mobilization of every military age male over the age 240 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 2: of eighteen, which. 241 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: Is what Israel is undergoing right now. 242 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 2: So in so many respects, this is so much more 243 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: devastating for Israel and even we experienced after nine to eleven. 244 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: There's Jeremy Bash giving some analysis on this. I think 245 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: people are coming to the recognition now that the Israeli 246 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 1: counter offensive is underway, this is going to be a 247 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 1: long fight. Obviously, this conflict has been going on for 248 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: well going on one hundred years at this point. But 249 00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean that just this military response, it's going to 250 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: have to be it's going to have to be thorough, 251 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: it's going to have to be decisive. I don't see 252 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: how this can end until Hamas is eradicated as an entity. 253 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: I don't see how they can call, you know, they 254 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: can call a cessation of hostilities. Before that happens. You 255 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: cannot allow someone, You cannot allow a cutthroat to hold 256 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: the blade at your neck with the promise that he 257 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: won't do it again. And so this is going to 258 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 1: go on now for a matter of weeks, perhaps months, 259 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 1: and what you will see is what you always see 260 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: in these instances, which is the Palestinian Hamas terrorists not 261 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: only killing as many innocence as they can on the 262 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 1: Israeli side of the wall, but then making sure that 263 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 1: their own side suffers maximum casualties civilians. There are innocence 264 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,640 Speaker 1: in Gaza, to be sure. There are four year olds, 265 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: there are twelve year olds, there are old ladies. There 266 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 1: are people that aren't a part of these actions, and 267 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: they're going to die. And many of them are going 268 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,919 Speaker 1: to die because Hamas puts them in places where they 269 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: are more likely to be collateral damage because it is 270 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 1: a death cull, because it worships the destruction of life. 271 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: We'll get back into more of this year in a moment. 272 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Twenty years ago, Mike Lindell introduced the first of many 273 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: products that made for an American success story.

So we're talking about what's 297 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 1: what is still occurring and very much still occurring in 298 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: Israel and Gaza right now. There have been major Israeli 299 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 1: retaliatory air strikes. You have over nine hundred confirmed dead 300 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 1: in Israel. You have Joe Biden speaking at one o'clock today. 301 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: I mean this without it being about petty partisan politics. 302 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,679 Speaker 1: When something like this happens, it's a reminder that you 303 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: don't want a commander in chief who inspires zero confidence 304 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: in any person who's being honest to handle the situation, 305 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:58,200 Speaker 1: to project strength, to make it seem like he has 306 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: command of the facts and what's really going on here. 307 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 1: It is my belief right now it is likely that 308 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: this conflict will stay largely in the arena of Gaza 309 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: and its environs. There might be a hesble a component 310 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: to this out of Lebanon and perhaps even Iran, which 311 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,600 Speaker 1: would create a true regional war. I don't think that 312 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: is likely, but it is possible, and it is a concern. 313 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 1: It's something we have to watch and our leadership, we 314 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: will have to rely on them to prevent something like 315 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: that from happening, from this turning into an even broader conflagration. 316 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 1: Now you've also seen something around the world that is 317 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: a tragic and enraging reminder for all of us, which 318 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: is the spread of and the very real existence far 319 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,199 Speaker 1: beyond what I think a lot of people understand. I 320 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: think it's at a much higher level than many of 321 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: us recognize. Having spent time in the you know, I 322 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 1: grew up in New York City and I spent a 323 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,160 Speaker 1: good amount of time in the Middle East. Anti Semitism 324 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 1: there is still it's endemic. It's far too common. It's 325 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 1: it's a global phenomenon. And you see this with this 326 00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: this group, for example, you can imagine what's going on here. 327 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 1: I have a I have seen some things in my life, 328 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: not as much as some of the war fighters listening 329 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,560 Speaker 1: by any means, but I've seen stuff I've I've been 330 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 1: in war zones, and I have an understanding of how 331 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 1: depraved and awful and evil things can get. Even anybody 332 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 1: with some shred of decency would understand that, given what 333 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: has happened here in Israel, a basic human impulse would 334 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 1: be sympathy for the victims. Right. If that isn't the impulse, 335 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: there's something wrong the circuitry of I know, you say 336 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 1: the heart, but it's really the circuitry of the brain. 337 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Something is off in people. There is an illness, a 338 00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: mental virus that would bring somebody to say anything like 339 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: what we've heard in a number of places around the world, 340 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: including in New York City, my hometown. Some of those protesters. 341 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:40,720 Speaker 1: Now we've seen the brutal murder of men, women, and children, 342 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: including babies. This is confirmed. Now, this is not a 343 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: missile strike that caved in a house and there were 344 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: casualties inside the house, which is obviously still terrible and tragic, 345 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: and people dying. This is the upclose decision to engage 346 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: in barbarous butchery of human beings as some kind of 347 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 1: a military or militant force for Hamas, Right, they trained 348 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: for this, as we know. That's what's gone on here, 349 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 1: and yet you will hear in a place like Sydney, 350 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: as far around the world as Sydney, Australia. Here is 351 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,959 Speaker 1: what protesters. They are pro Palestinian. They seem to be 352 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: mostly Arab if you look at the the video of this, 353 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: here is what they are chanting in the aftermath of 354 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:31,000 Speaker 1: this planet. 355 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 4: They are. 356 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: Okay, you get it, you get it. They are chanting, 357 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: chanting burn the Jews, alahuak Bar, which means God is great. 358 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: You know, I I've this this part of my brain 359 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 1: that used to be so focused on jihadism. This is 360 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: what I spent my twenties doing. This is what I 361 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,439 Speaker 1: spent years of my life focused on. It's been it's 362 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: been a little quiet for a while because we haven't 363 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 1: had thank you, Donald Trump and the destruction of ISIS. 364 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 1: We haven't had a major jiehattist moment really in a 365 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: few years, not the same way you could say Afghanistan 366 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,480 Speaker 1: and the Biden withdrawal, but that was, you know, twenty 367 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: years unfortunately in the making, and that was a Biden blunder. 368 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: But when you hear people chanting something like this at 369 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: this moment in time, it is just the proof of 370 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,400 Speaker 1: the level of hatred that they have. You know, you'll 371 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,520 Speaker 1: hear in the discourse in colleges and universities' you'll hear 372 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: professors that will try to explain this in some sort 373 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 1: of intellectual terms. You'll you'll hear people say, oh, but 374 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 1: this is really about ending oppression, or this is really 375 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,440 Speaker 1: about what the Palestinians call al Nakba, the catastrophe when 376 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: they lost after an attempted invasion and eradication of the 377 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: Jews at the foundation or the early days of the 378 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: Jewish state. You know, this goes back to that, you know, 379 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: historical some kind of historical anchoring for the conflict now 380 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: as a means to turn your eyes away from what 381 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,680 Speaker 1: you can see so plainly. And you have to also 382 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:37,479 Speaker 1: remember Hamas wanted it this way. They wanted people to 383 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: see this level of atrocity. This was a choice. It's 384 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: not like they were hiding it and we've just discovered it. 385 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: They wanted everyone to know. This is just like al 386 00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 1: Qaeda putting people in orange jumpsuits and slowly song off 387 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: their heads on video. The ultimate inhumanity and evil. That 388 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: is what the Israeli Defense Forces are up against. And 389 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: that is why our alliance with Israel right now is 390 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: a basic moral duty. This isn't just about strategic implications 391 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. This isn't some policy paper in 392 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: a think tank. This is about our basic duty as 393 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,399 Speaker 1: human beings to understand right versus wrong. And yet many 394 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 1: of the same entities that you would imagine somehow fine 395 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:38,640 Speaker 1: means to make this a moment of the most insane 396 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:46,440 Speaker 1: moral inversion of this was put out the Black Lives 397 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: Matter grassroots statement in solidarity with the Palestinian people. That's right, 398 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,199 Speaker 1: a solidarity statement with the Palestinian people right now. You 399 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 1: have at the University of Virginia. I was trying to 400 00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 1: find this University of Virginia, you have another statement that 401 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: was put out by I mean, this is a lot 402 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:16,679 Speaker 1: of these universities. They have been brainwashed into thinking that 403 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,359 Speaker 1: this is the real language that they use. Just to 404 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: be clear, in left wing circles, and I remember this 405 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,680 Speaker 1: from my time in college and some of the professors 406 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: that I studied under they refer to this as apartheid. 407 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 1: So they try to take the moral clarity of ending 408 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,160 Speaker 1: a a race based hierarchical state as existed in South 409 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: Africa and compare that to Israel and Palestine. That's their 410 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 1: preferred terminology for this. They'll talk about it as an 411 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: apartheid state because then they think they have the moral 412 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: high ground for anything. Any level of terrorism is justified, 413 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: you see. But this all falls apart with the most rudimentary, 414 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 1: not just analysis, basic knowledge of what's going on. There 415 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: are over a million Arabs living happily in the state 416 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: of Israel. There are people of many different races all 417 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,639 Speaker 1: over the world. They're Ethiopian Jews. I mean, there are 418 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 1: people living in Israel in peace and prosperity and with 419 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 1: the protection of the laws who are not Jewish, who 420 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 1: are not white. But what the left has done is 421 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 1: force this into the usual racial Marxism rubric right of 422 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 1: you have an oppressor and depressed, and whatever the oppressed 423 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: have to do to take the boot heel of the 424 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,440 Speaker 1: oppressor off their neck is inherently justified. And whether you 425 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 1: look at this historically in Soviet Union, Communist China, Cambodia 426 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 1: under the Khmer Rouge, that simple formulation of whatever we 427 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 1: have to do to end depression is justified has led 428 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: to some of the greatest evils the world, really, the 429 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: greatest evils the world has ever seen. And you're seeing 430 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,880 Speaker 1: that numerically on a smaller scale, but in terms of 431 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: the depravity at the very same level right now in 432 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: Israel or in Israel's response to what's going on here 433 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 1: is something that is rooted in an understanding of the 434 00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: level of evil and Hamas and Kaza that's what you 435 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: see going on here, you know, I mean, they did 436 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 1: the attacks in Israel proper right now, they've taken back 437 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: that territory. And when you read some of the accounts 438 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 1: of what people were put through, there is no circumstance 439 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: under which and I told you about some of the 440 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: most depraved stuff, I mean, the beheadings, is this is 441 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 1: the stuff of nightmares, of true nightmares, because it does 442 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,680 Speaker 1: not get more evil than what these Hamas militants did. 443 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:00,360 Speaker 1: But even when you look at the festival, for a example, 444 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: there were the music festival that was in the Negev 445 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: Desert area, very close to the border with Gaza, and 446 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 1: they came in on these these gliders. They had been 447 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: practicing this, now the videos are out. They've been practicing 448 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: this for a long time. This is how they got 449 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: over the barrier. So they sent the gliders over the barrier, 450 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,760 Speaker 1: established a militant force inside of Israel proper, and then 451 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 1: united with a specific force designed to attack, you know, 452 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,960 Speaker 1: the fence to the wall, those forces to have a 453 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:38,239 Speaker 1: breakthrough there. And this was the basic way that they 454 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: while they were also firing rockets. It was a multi 455 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 1: and then they came by sea in some places, I 456 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: mean it was a many. I think there were twenty 457 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 1: two different places where there was an insertion of forces. 458 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 1: But they went to a music festival and they just 459 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: murdered people, and they took hostages. But they just went 460 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 1: around shooting people. No decent human being could pull the 461 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 1: trigger and murder somebody in a music festival because of 462 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: any political credo, ideology, anything. It is the abdication of 463 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,800 Speaker 1: the thing that makes us human, the thing that separates 464 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:17,520 Speaker 1: us from evil, the thing that makes us, you know, 465 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: worthy of God's love, our basic decency toward each other. 466 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 1: It is the casting off, the abandonment of that. And 467 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,160 Speaker 1: when you read these stories and you hear about what happened, 468 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,920 Speaker 1: you find yourself just in a state of disbelief for 469 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 1: a moment. But I think it's important that we focus 470 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 1: in on this at this time because it also means 471 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: it also allows us to understand why the response is 472 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: so necessary and why the level of response is going 473 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: to be something that I'm sure you're going to hear 474 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 1: a lot of human rights groups and the usual leftist 475 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: u n you know, agit prop about all the Israeli 476 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: response is disproportionate. A disproportionate response to this. You start 477 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:14,640 Speaker 1: to wonder if they don't hunt down every single member 478 00:32:14,680 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: of Hamas. It feels like it's not proportionate, you know, 479 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: it's not severe enough. That's the baseline here, That's the 480 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: baseline for what we see happening. So we'll come back 481 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:28,960 Speaker 1: into some of this. Also, do want to talk to 482 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 1: you about some stories and politics. We'll get to that 483 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: in the next hour. We've got some early polling in 484 00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: the Arizona Senate race, some interesting back and forth over 485 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: RFK Junior's candidacy that I want to talk to you about. 486 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: That's all coming up. You know, our friend Clay right now, 487 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 1: my main man, my co host here, he's at a 488 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: Talented Towers event. This is an amazing organization. I'm honestly 489 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: honored to be affiliated with them and that they're sponsors 490 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 1: here on the show, and they do really important work, 491 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 1: and they do work that is urgent. More than thirty 492 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,800 Speaker 1: eight thousand US veterans are experiencing homelessness across our nation. 493 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,560 Speaker 1: These are heroes who signed up to protect and serve 494 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: and are now sleeping on our nation's streets. The Tunnel 495 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: the Towers Foundation is committed to helping these heroes who 496 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,840 Speaker 1: have sacrificed so much for our country, our freedoms, and 497 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,640 Speaker 1: for us. Through the Foundation's Homeless Veteran program, Tunnel to 498 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:27,760 Speaker 1: Towers is providing housing, assistants and services to US veterans 499 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:31,320 Speaker 1: who meet the program's requirements. The Foundation's program helped over 500 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: five hundred veterans last year. This year, their goal is 501 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 1: to help two thousand homeless veterans receive help.

The relationship, the relationship that exists 521 00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: in the Middle East and in the arms markets there, 522 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:43,880 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be hard to get these weapons from the 523 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 1: Afghan theater to the Palestinians. People have already started to 524 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: say that, based on some of the M fours that 525 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: have showed up in the video, that that's possible. But 526 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,840 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of you know, there's the 527 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 1: Middle East is a wash in arms, so it's it's 528 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: tough to say exactly what came from where. It's a 529 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: good point, and let's remember, I mean the Taliban is 530 00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,480 Speaker 1: effectively armed to the teeth because of what happened with 531 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: the Biden withdrawal. Thanks for calling in, Richard Tim in 532 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:13,799 Speaker 1: Rapid City, South Dakota. What's going on? Tim? 533 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 4: Oh? 534 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,479 Speaker 5: Yeah, I just wanted to call in and just raise 535 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 5: the question these atrocities in Israel and how horrible that 536 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:27,680 Speaker 5: is that the correlation to our political officials leaving our 537 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 5: southern borders wide open and they don't know who's coming 538 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 5: through and they don't have answers for anybody on a 539 00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,560 Speaker 5: lot of what's going on, This could easily happen here. 540 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:44,440 Speaker 1: Well, let me just say this, given the the level 541 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 1: of plotting that went into this attack, Now, think about 542 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:55,319 Speaker 1: how easy it would be if Jimasso chose to infiltrate 543 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,240 Speaker 1: through our southern border and put operatives in this country. 544 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: I mean I I would I would wager that the 545 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,840 Speaker 1: success ratio for a Hamas operative to get to South America, 546 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,800 Speaker 1: Central America, Mexico and then make it into the US 547 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: by you know, claiming asylum. Right, I'm assuming they don't 548 00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:16,279 Speaker 1: come up on the terror watch list, but even some 549 00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,279 Speaker 1: of them are making them in the country. I think 550 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:20,880 Speaker 1: that the success ratio would probably be over ninety percent. 551 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:25,160 Speaker 1: In fact, if they just worked with the cartels and 552 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,759 Speaker 1: did what they use what they often do, which is 553 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,480 Speaker 1: have a big humanitarian quote humanitarian drop of you know, 554 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: women and children, you know, two hundred people, tie up 555 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,839 Speaker 1: border patrol, and then just have a go fast coyote 556 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: on the other side, you know, a mile away, two 557 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,400 Speaker 1: miles down the road. The chance of a Palestinian Hamas 558 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,520 Speaker 1: militant being able to enter the United States either in 559 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:52,800 Speaker 1: either context, I would say is over ninety percent success ratio. 560 00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: I mean the chance of them getting stopped and caught 561 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:59,600 Speaker 1: is low. So keep that in mind here as we 562 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 1: see what could be coming next.
