Speaker 1: There's some inspiring here in a bunch of horrifying. It's
Speaker 1: one more thing.
Speaker 2: I'm one more thing.
Speaker 3: Inspiring horrifying.
Speaker 1: The fabulous Barry Weiss of the Free Press.
Speaker 2: I did at an interview recently.
Speaker 1: With Leland Viddert, who is a longtime Middle East correspondent
Speaker 1: for Fox News, and I believe he is with the
Speaker 1: News Nation now, is that right. He's recently come out
Speaker 1: publicly that he is on the autism spectrum or is autistic,
Speaker 1: or has autism, whatever you're supposed to say these days,
Speaker 1: I don't know, and and has described how he has
Speaker 1: dealt with it and gotten beyond it. Really interesting and
Speaker 1: inspiring stuff. I can't wait to read it, as there's
Speaker 1: autism in my family more than a little. Really an
Speaker 1: amazing guy and really cool. But he was talking to
Speaker 1: Barry Weiss about.
Speaker 2: The Middle East and God in Israel.
Speaker 1: And here's a little snippet of her excellent conversation with.
Speaker 4: Him twenty twelve. I'm a foreign correspondent for Fox and
Speaker 4: you know, normally you're when you're based in Jerusalem, you're
Speaker 4: covering suicide bombings, you're covering protests in the West Bank
Speaker 4: of riots in the West Bank on and on and on.
Speaker 4: Because of the Arab Spring, I really hadn't spent that
Speaker 4: much time in Israel, and the Palestine Israeli conflict was
Speaker 4: not a thing those years.
Speaker 2: There's been a couple of.
Speaker 4: Gaza skirmishes, but there was the Glad Shalite deal where
Speaker 4: there was an Israeli soldier who had been held hostage
Speaker 4: and traded from Gaza to Israel for a thousand guys
Speaker 4: and prisoners more, including Sinowar and including a woman named Waffa.
Speaker 4: And Wafa had been a woman in the West Bank
Speaker 4: or woman in Gaza. She had pulled a pot of
Speaker 4: boiling water over herself when she was like five or
Speaker 4: six years old. The Israelis treat most of the people
Speaker 4: out of Gaz who have really horrific burns, catastrophic medical injuries.
Speaker 4: She goes back to Gaza after being treated for four
Speaker 4: or five in Israel, but has a pass to get
Speaker 4: in and out of Israel, which very few people in
Speaker 4: Gaza did at the time, So she gets recruited to
Speaker 4: be a suicide bomber.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 4: This is in the second into Fada, so mid two thousands.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 4: There's the video of her coming to the checkpoint to
Speaker 4: get into Israel wearing her suicide vest, and she'd been
Speaker 4: given three target options by the Alaskar Martyrs brigade, a bus,
Speaker 4: a cafe, or the hospital that had treated her and
Speaker 4: saved her life. She chose the hospital that had treated
Speaker 4: her and saved her life. She gets to the checkpoint,
Speaker 4: they discover that she has a bomb, or they think
Speaker 4: she does. She tries to detonate it, it doesn't go off.
Speaker 4: She gets thrown in jail again. The Israeli's treat her,
Speaker 4: they help her with her birds, they educate her, they
Speaker 4: give her a college degree, and now in the Gladually deal,
Speaker 4: she goes back to Gaza. So I go to Gaza
Speaker 4: to interview her, thinking this is going to be a
Speaker 4: redemption story. It was before Christmas, right that she is
Speaker 4: going to say, perfect Christmas, I am going to be
Speaker 4: the one to try and forge peace, and I believe
Speaker 4: in peace, and I've seen that the Israelis are not
Speaker 4: evil that I don't want to kill them anymore. Fine,
Speaker 4: So I get into Gaza and I bring with me
Speaker 4: an iPad that has the video of her trying to
Speaker 4: blow herself up. So we're sitting across from each other
Speaker 4: like this She's wearing a he jab in a very
Speaker 4: junkie gozzen apartment. It is an awful place in every
Speaker 4: sense of the word. And I show her the video
Speaker 4: and I said, what are you thinking watching this? She goes, oh,
Speaker 4: oh has all this reaction and she goes oh, she goes,
Speaker 4: I'm thinking, I almost tasted paradise. Okay, would you do
Speaker 4: it again?
Speaker 2: Absolutely?
Speaker 4: In a minute. This is my calling in life.
Speaker 2: I said, wait a second.
Speaker 4: These people treated you in all of your burns, they
Speaker 4: saved your life. You tried to blow them up, they
Speaker 4: still treated you, they educated you, and now you have
Speaker 4: a chance at life back here in Gaza, and you'd
Speaker 4: want to blow them up. And she goes, absolutely, they
Speaker 4: are the infidels, they are evil, They're the enemy. I
Speaker 4: can't remember where the jack translation was. And that's when
Speaker 4: my mind was made up about sort of the moral
Speaker 4: clarity of the Israeli Palestinian debate. Are the Israeli's perfect? No,
Speaker 4: But that's what they're up against.
Speaker 1: And that is the key point that so many people ignore.
Speaker 1: That's what they're up against. And it's funny when people
Speaker 1: see deliberate attempts to indoctrinate the young. They have Americans,
Speaker 1: they have this inability to absorb it or accept it
Speaker 1: or believe it because I think a lot of us
Speaker 1: have seen those TV the kids shows from you know,
Speaker 1: that part of the world where they each the little
Speaker 1: kids that the Jews drink the blood of babies and the.
Speaker 2: Rest of that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like they're same street.
Speaker 1: Right, And then when people like me are trying to
Speaker 1: lecture you that the government schools aren't accidentally indoctrinating your
Speaker 1: kids to hate America and Western civilization and not know
Speaker 1: their own history.
Speaker 2: That that's just these silly, woke people who don't really
Speaker 2: know it.
Speaker 1: No, it's an absolutely deliberate attempt to capture the minds
Speaker 1: of young people. Every evil regime in the history of
Speaker 1: the world has known this, They've practiced it.
Speaker 2: I could bore you to death with examples of it.
Speaker 1: They do it because it works, but people can't accept
Speaker 1: that it's happening in their own country.
Speaker 2: I guess.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was quite a story. And you know, not
Speaker 3: just the Palestinian Israeli conflict. That's what we're all up
Speaker 3: against in terms of the whole radical Islam thing all
Speaker 3: around the world. Yes, the people that actually believe no, no, no,
Speaker 3: I want the bomb to go off, because then I'm
Speaker 3: in paradise immediately, right.
Speaker 1: Well, And one of the most interesting things you've ever
Speaker 1: brought to the show was that psychological study where they
Speaker 1: pointed out that human beings cling to the first thing
Speaker 1: they learn about something.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's troubling what I feel like. I'm up against
Speaker 3: that in my life sometimes myself will you will stick
Speaker 3: with the first thing you heard, even when it's been
Speaker 3: proven that you were wrong about the first thing you heard.
Speaker 3: But the first thing even if.
Speaker 1: The people who told you the first thing you heard
Speaker 1: come back and say is they did in the study, Hey,
Speaker 1: what we told you is wrong, it's not X.
Speaker 2: It's why just we apologize it's not X.
Speaker 1: It's why you go back in a couple of months
Speaker 1: and ask those people if it's X or why they'll say, oh,
Speaker 1: it's X, definitely X. And so that's one of the
Speaker 1: insidious parts of indoctrinating a young girl like this or
Speaker 1: the American example, I was giving. How much opportunity did
Speaker 1: she get to observe that the reality of the Israeli
Speaker 1: people is not ex It's why indeed, but she was
Speaker 1: indoctrinated to believe it was the horrors of the evil
Speaker 1: Jew and they must be blotted out, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: And she could not. With the most amazing, awe inspiring, kind,
Speaker 1: beautiful examples of the actual truth, she could not be
Speaker 1: budged from that premise human beings man.
Speaker 3: Whoof Wow, that was a that was that was a
Speaker 3: good one. That was interesting and troubling. So that's Barry
Speaker 3: Weiss's outfit that brought us that the Free press. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so she she made a decision or not to make
Speaker 3: take that two hundred million dollar offer from CBS.
Speaker 2: I haven't heard.
Speaker 3: I wish she would.
Speaker 1: Because it's quickly become a media empire. They have lots
Speaker 1: of super talented writers. Yes, they put out more.
Speaker 3: Pardon me, it's possible that she, being you know, significantly
Speaker 3: younger than me, thinks, why would I go to CBS.
Speaker 3: I'm building what is the future of media. I'm not
Speaker 3: going back through it. It was the big deal fifty
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they put out more good content.
Speaker 2: That you could take in.
Speaker 3: Yeah, podcasts too, obviously.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's amazing. She is a go getter and
Speaker 1: her wife, that's right, Katie, two women.
Speaker 3: Lesbians. Yes, that's what I've been told I was going
Speaker 3: to ask this question the other day on the air,
Speaker 3: But anyway, I was going to.
Speaker 2: Say, Nelly Bowls. Her wife is brilliant writer. I love Nelly.
Speaker 3: Where was I? I live in a college down so
Speaker 3: I'm at the bagel shop coffee shop Sunday morning, and
Speaker 3: I had this thought. Could Doc Martin stay in business
Speaker 3: if it weren't for lesbians? That's what I thought. Well,
Speaker 3: substantially lower profits.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure they could.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure they could. Attractive young lesbian couples all
Speaker 3: wearing Doc Martins big in the punk rock scene, Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh yeah, yeah, they're I have several Paramis Yo Nazis,
Speaker 3: are you, Jack?
Speaker 2: I wear them regularly.
Speaker 3: But I think I think what really keeps them going
Speaker 3: is the lesbian sea.
Speaker 2: He's a lesbian.
Speaker 1: I've got to believe that in this era of data collection,
Speaker 1: Doc Martin knows like the home address of every single
Speaker 1: punk rock loving, neo Nazi lesbian because.
Speaker 2: That is their bread and butter, right there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, those girls are the next quarter profits right there?
Speaker 2: Can I play a clip for you guys real quick?
Speaker 2: I just need your opinion on it?
Speaker 4: Sure?
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 5: Here we go went to a friend's wedding, but it
Speaker 5: was a really long day. The wedding took place at twelve.
Speaker 4: When it got to eight pm with no.
Speaker 5: Food insight, I was absolutely struggling. I was starting to
Speaker 5: get angry, so me and my friend, who asked we've
Speaker 5: decided to order a pizza sneakily to the venue. When
Speaker 5: it arrived, I slipped outside to grab it and I
Speaker 5: shared it with a couple of other people at the
Speaker 5: table who were also starving. World War round and now
Speaker 5: the bride is furious with me and said if i
Speaker 5: 's been patient, food was arriving in the next thirty minutes.
Speaker 5: She told me that I embarrassed her, but some others
Speaker 5: told me it was tacky and disrespectful.
Speaker 2: M Twelve to eight with no food at a wedding
Speaker 2: is a bull Is I would have left? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Or yeah, unless it's like a close friend. What were
Speaker 3: they doing for close friend that I'm sticking around? Well,
Speaker 3: I wonder, I wonder. It was like, I don't know
Speaker 3: if you've ever been to a full on Catholic wedding
Speaker 3: where they do the full mask, but two of those
Speaker 3: don't last eight hours.
Speaker 1: Feed your guests, dumb, dumb, what do you want them
Speaker 1: to starve, pass out, crack their heads eight.
Speaker 3: That's a long wedding anyways. Yeah, and then food's coming.
Speaker 3: Now I'm out. I would believe before I would bring
Speaker 3: a pizza into the wedding venue.
Speaker 2: But she did it.
Speaker 1: Well the venue though, I mean, what if it's a hotel.
Speaker 1: They rented a ballroom.
Speaker 3: She went out to the lobby, and you know what,
Speaker 3: that's commitment to her friend wanting to stick around for
Speaker 3: this hllaciously long wedding. The bride's furious.
Speaker 1: Oh oh yeah, well that bride needs to shove it was.
Speaker 1: I'm in that scenario, Katie, and you bring it up. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of getting a pizza. I got a three
Speaker 1: word answer for you, sausage and onion.
Speaker 2: And one word response done. Thanks, guys, you're a lot
Speaker 2: of help.
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.
