12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:38,319

00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Well, listen, it is eleven to fourteen pm in Washington,

14
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: D C. And then I got to say tonight was

15
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: a terrible night for Republicans. It was a terrible night

16
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 2: for conservatives, and it was a terrible night for America.

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: The damage in New York City, the damage in Virginia,

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 2: the damage in New Jersey, the damage in California has

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: been enormous. We're going to break down this really disappointing

20
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: and dangerous electoral result that happened tonight. We're also going

21
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: to talk about the fact that Ben is on the

22
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 2: ground in Israel. What is he seeing, who is he

23
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: meeting with? What is the dynamic. Israel has just won

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 2: a war. They have just defeated Iran in a twelve

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: day war. They are still battling Hamas. There's an historic

26
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: peace steel that President Trump has negotiated, but Hamas is

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: resisting and violating the peace steel. We're going to talk

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: about what Ben is seeing on the ground, all of

29
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 2: that on today's verdict.

30
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly incredible. Many of you may not know this.

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I actually own two different barbecue restaurants, one right now.

32
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: And the quality of meat when you want to make

33
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: amazing food is so vitally important. Now you've heard a

34
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: big pharma, but have you ever heard a big ag?

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: Did you know that eighty five percent of American beef

36
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: is controlled by just four companies. Just because you buy

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: American doesn't mean you're buying healthy and buying organic only

38
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: means they control what the cattle eat, not how they live. Well,

39
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: that's why I want you to know about backyard butchers.

40
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: It is Texas steer steaks that come directly from a

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: real Texas ranch where the cattle are raised, process and

42
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: ship from the same location completely bypassing Big AG. These

43
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 1: Texas steers are ninety eight percent grass fed and then

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: two percent natural grain finish. That's how you get amazing

45
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: steaks with no growth hormones, no antibiotics, and no preservatives.

00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: up on YouTube. This episode. I am in Israel. This

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: is my first time. So I've had five trips planned

63
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 1: to come to Israel. The first four got canceled, one

64
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: from COVID, the other three because of wars that had

65
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: broken out. This dates back all the way in two

66
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: thousand and four, thousand and five and the first time

67
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to go to Israel, and I cannot tell

68
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: you you've been here. Just being able to do simple

69
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: things like going to the Whaling Wall, staying here in

70
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: Jerusalem have been a spiritual journey that I would tell

71
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: everyone listening to verdict right now it is safe to

72
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 1: come to Israel right now. That is the one thing

73
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: that's very clear from the ceasefire. There are lots of

74
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,839
Speaker 1: people coming back to see this incredible country. But if

75
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: you are a person of faith and you've experienced this,

76
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: coming to Israel connects so many dots. I was at

77
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: the Sea of Galilee yesterday and getting to witness a

78
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: historians and religious leaders were telling the stories of the Bible,

79
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: where it was the Beatitudes, where there was walking on water,

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: whether it was the fish that continued to feed, seeing

81
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the miracles of Jesus before your very eyes, overlooking this

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: incredible country, while at the same time being moments away

83
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: from where this war was taking place and people are

84
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: being killed. Was a somber but special moment.

85
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: So, Ben, have you been to Israel before? Is this

86
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 2: first trip?

87
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: This is my pilgrimage very first time ever?

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: Well, it is amazing. I've been a number of times

89
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: is and it is a breathtaking place. It is a

90
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: place all of history converges on. It is the birthplace

91
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 2: of Christianity, is the birthplace of Judaism. In Israel and Jerusalem.

92
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: You walk down roads the city of David, which is

93
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: this underground archaeological excavation under Jerusalem. You walk down the

94
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 2: road from from the Pool of Shiloh to the old

95
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: Temple where Jesus most certainly walked, and you walk along

96
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: it and there are platforms that a street preacher and

97
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: itinerant preacher would stand and preach on, and you stand.

98
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 2: I've stood on those platforms, and it takes your breath

99
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: away that Jesus Christ almost certainly stood on this particular

100
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 2: piece of stone addressing the crowd of the Israelites who

101
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: were there in Jerusalem, the Sea of Galilee. You look

102
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 2: at you imagine Jesus walking up to to Peter, walking

103
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: up to fishermen and saying follow me and let me

104
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: make you fishers of men and not just fishermen. And

105
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: it is it's a beautiful place. It is a profound place.

106
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: So tell me when did you arrive and what have

107
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: you done on the ground at Israel.

108
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: So arrived on Monday after delayed flight missed missed a

109
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: flight because of actually the shutdown is what we're told

110
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: with And then we had a time out with with

111
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: with the with the air traffic controllers and also the

112
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: crew on the plane. So we sat on the tarmac

113
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: for about five hours in Houston and then they said

114
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: you got to get the plane. We've lost our crew

115
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: because of the rules. And this is a TSA. And

116
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: it was at the very beginning of kind of the break.

117
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: Are you part of a broader group or like, what

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 2: what's the reason for going to Israel?

119
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I was asked to come over from the

120
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: Israeli government and also came with the CEO of i

121
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: f CJ, the International Fellowship of Christian Jews. There is

122
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: a a Christian Leadership conference happening here as well at

123
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: the same time. That is, it is one that's been

124
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: postponed because of the war and so I was asked

125
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: to speak at that. This is a conference where bb

126
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: is speaking, where you have the Mayor of Jerusalem is speaking,

127
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: you have the US ambassador Mikuckabee as well, and it

128
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 1: is bringing Christians together back to the to the Holy Land.

129
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: But then what also has happens. They've set up these

130
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: incredible moments and tours where I've been able to meet

131
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: with some of the victims of the war and go

132
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: and see where the war is taking placed. So yesterday

133
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: we actually went to the border with Syria and with

134
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: Lebanon and went literally to where we could see Hesblah

135
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: looking at us.

136
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: And we met with the parents of the kids who

137
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: were killed on the soccer field. Tell us about that.

138
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, So last night I have and I will try

139
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: not to get emotional, but it's hard not to. I

140
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: was asked to come and to meet with the families,

141
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 1: some of the families who children. There was twelve children

142
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: that were killed while playing soccer on a soccer field.

143
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: It made international news. We covered it on this show,

144
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: and they asked me if I would meet with the

145
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: families and hear the family stories. And I was there

146
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: and the parents were talking of this was one of

147
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: the little girls. You can see who died and her

148
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: mother was the first one to speak, and she was

149
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: the age of the kids wanted to tell the story.

150
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: They were all different ages. They were very young to

151
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: a seventeen year old if I remember correctly. Some of

152
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: it was through translation, but you can kind of see

153
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: the different ages here. Some of them are obviously most

154
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: were younger, but you can see there someone's a little

155
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: bit older and junior high. You can see that's one

156
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: of the oldest kids there. And and that was you know,

157
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: it's it's incredible. But we sat there and we were

158
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: hearing their stories, these kids, and at the very end,

159
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 1: they said they'd like to present me with things. I

160
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: didn't know they were going to do this, and I

161
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: put the picture of on social media, but the mother

162
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: of this young girl said that they wanted to give

163
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: me something. And I did see the ball before they

164
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: brought it out, but these pictures on this ball, so

165
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: people understand their stickers, they're handmade. And they said they

166
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: wanted to say thank you for standing up for their

167
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: kids and for telling their story to the world, because

168
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: they they want people to understand what it's like to

169
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: live in Israel and what was taken from them.

170
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: From by the way, these were children that were doing nothing.

171
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 2: They were they were playing on a soccer field. There

172
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 2: were being kids and suddenly Hesbala rocket came over and

173
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 2: killed them all.

174
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a the way that they described

175
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: it was they didn't care who they killed. There was

176
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: there was a lot of media spend that well, this

177
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: this soccer field maybe wasn't directly target. Hesbla doesn't care

178
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: who they killed. They just want to kill Jews, one

179
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: of the.

180
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: Other and one of the points men. That's important with

181
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: both Hesbela and Hamas. Most of the rockets they fire

182
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: have no guidance systems, so they literally a fire rocket

183
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: in the air towards Israel, filled with explosives, many times

184
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: filled with anti personnel shrapnel, ball bearings and nails and

185
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 2: screws and things that would rip human flesh apart, and

186
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 2: they just fire them towards Israel because they figure, you

187
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 2: know what, they're Jews over there, so let's just kill

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: as many of them as we can, and whether it

189
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: kills little kids. Normally, in the vast majority of the times,

190
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: military targets are not the targets. It's just fire it

191
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: towards Israel and if we killed Jews, we celebrate. And

192
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: that tragically is what happened at the soccer field.

193
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: It's exactly what happened. And not far from where that

194
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: soccer field attack happened, we went to an orchard. What's

195
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: one thing that you learn so much from being here,

196
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: But there is a lot of farming that has done

197
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: in Israel. Israel does an amazing job with water and

198
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: turning saltwater into fresh water. It is what is kept

199
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: this country alive and not dependent on others, especially in

200
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: war when people would shut off water to Israel. It's

201
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: the desert and what they've done is unbelievable. We talked

202
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: about that, learned about that, but we went to a

203
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: basically a kabutz. It's a neighborhood. And in that neighborhood,

204
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: you know what they you know what they.

205
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: In Northern Israel, southern Israel, where the where's the kabuts?

206
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: You went to the tip of northern on the opposite

207
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: side of where the attack happened. The initial attack happened

208
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: in October.

209
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: This okay, so right by the Golong border.

210
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: With Lebedon and Hesbelah. So if you're looking at the map,

211
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: this would be in Syria hes Blah at the northern point,

212
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: and they started us there because they said they wanted

213
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: us to understand that the gold and by the way,

214
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: for folks from both sides, for.

215
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: Folks at home to understand. So Israel is a very

216
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: small nation. It's about the size of the state of

217
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: New Jersey.

218
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

219
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 2: Where October seventh happened was in the southern part of Israel.

220
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: It's right by the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip is

221
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: along the Mediterranean in the southern part. And Hamas, which

222
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: is the terrorist major terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip,

223
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 2: entered into southern Israel and murdered over twelve hundred Israelis,

224
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 2: aped women and little girls, took over two hundred Israelis hostage.

225
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 2: It was also one of the worst American terrorist attacks ever,

226
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 2: as we saw dozens of Americans murdered, dozens of Americans

227
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 2: taken hostage. Now northern Israel, which is up by Lebanon

228
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: and Syria, what you have up there is Hesbela, hesbel As,

229
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 2: a different terrorist organization. Both Hesbela and Hamas their patron

230
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 2: is Iran, and Iran funds over ninety percent of Hamas's budget.

231
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,959
Speaker 2: Iran funds over ninety percent of Hesbel's budget. When October

232
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 2: seventh first erupted, Israel quite rightly declared we are going

233
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: to utterly destroy Hamas. There was an interesting period that

234
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 2: extended for weeks and then even a couple of months

235
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: where it wasn't clear if Hamas would be or rather

236
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: Hesbela would be drawn into this. Hamas was the restaurant

237
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: October seventh, and Hesbela had the opportunity just to shut

238
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 2: up and not engage, and then Hesbela pretty quickly decided, no,

239
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,079
Speaker 2: we want to raise our hand, we want to engage,

240
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: and began just just firing rockets, a massive barrage of

241
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: rockets in northern Israel.

242
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: About sixty percent of all the rockets on hand that

243
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: Hesbla had in their arsenal were shot during this war.

244
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: Repeat that, that's a powerful.

245
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: Statement, sixty percent. And as we had our briefing from

246
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: the Israeli government, we actually went to this neighborhood, this kibbutz,

247
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: and in this neighborhood, their sin for being targeted by

248
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: Hesbla was that they that they farm pink lady apples

249
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: that we eat in the United States of America.

250
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 2: And by the way, much of northern Israel was evacuated

251
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: because the rocket attacks were so intense that the Israelis

252
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 2: couldn't live there anymore, because you couldn't go into your

253
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: own home without risk of rock blowing it up.

254
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: And so the.

255
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: Amazing thing is Hesbla literally volunteered and said, hey, we

256
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 2: want to be part of this, and then the Israelis

257
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 2: carried out the Pager attack, which remained means one of

258
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: the most extraordinatory military and intelligence operations I think the

259
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: world has ever seen. Where I mean, I've joked, but

260
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 2: this is not a joke. If you wrote the Pager

261
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: Attack as a script to a movie, nobody in Hollywood

262
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: would buy it. If you wrote it as a Jason

263
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Bourne movie, they say, this is ridiculous. You're telling me.

264
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: Israel creates a shell company in Hong Kong.

265
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 1: Builds pagers advanced.

266
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 2: Years in advance, makes them heavy duty, kind of serious,

267
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: hardcore pagers and in beds where the battery would be

268
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: a tiny little explosive. Then gets this shell company in

269
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: Hong Kong to sell the pagers to Hesbela, Like, how

270
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 2: the hell do you do that? I don't know how

271
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 2: you sell pagers to Hesbela, but the Masad does, Israel

272
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 2: does sells them to Hesbela, and then this remains the

273
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 2: single most targeted military and intelligence attack I think in history,

274
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 2: because it was Hesbela leadership that decided, Okay, who is

275
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 2: it that gets these pagers? I'm going to give it

276
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 2: to every crazy ass terrorist we have in lemanon the

277
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 2: people that I want to be able to page and say, hey,

278
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 2: would you go blow up a bus, would you go

279
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 2: blow up at a mall? Would you go murder children?

280
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 2: Take this pager? And then Israel in a simultaneous moment,

281
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: detonated all the pagers and took out every person that

282
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: was injured, every person that was killed, with very minor

283
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 2: exceptions of someone who was really close to a terrorist.

284
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 2: They were personally selected by the leaders of Hesbela. Hesbela

285
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: decided which terrorists died. And by the way, within a

286
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: day or two there was a second operation where Hesbela

287
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: was using walkie talkies. Those blow up and I say, yeah,

288
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 2: by the end of it, I think every Hesbela terrorist,

289
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: every Hamaster, every Iran IRGC terrorist, like every time a

290
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: phone rang, they jumped. It was extraordinary and it was

291
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: a response to so what Hesbila literally volunteered and said

292
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 2: we want to be decimated as bad as as Amas,

293
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,479
Speaker 2: and Israel said, well, happy to oblige.

294
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: So for the last several weeks you've heard me talk

295
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 1: with Josh Sherard from Burnham about real stories of how

296
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: people like you and I have used their burn A

297
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: launcher to protect themselves and their families. Now, Burna is

298
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: a handheld pistol that fires both kinetic rounds and chemical

299
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: irritants to separate you from an attacker. Josh is back

300
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: with me today to tell you a real story about

301
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: a burn A launcher that was used and how it

302
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: helped a woman protect herself from a home intruder.

303
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 3: So, a Chicago woman was recently the victim of a

304
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 3: home invasion that occurred in broad daylight when several men

305
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: broke into her home while she was inside in the

306
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,920
Speaker 3: middle of the day, and it was all caught on video. So,

307
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 3: while sitting in her kitchen, the homeowner began here hearing

308
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 3: strange noises coming from the front door. So she went

309
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: to investigate and saw that intruders had made it inside

310
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 3: her home, at which point she yelled that she'd called

311
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 3: police to try and scare them off. Now. Fortunately in

312
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 3: this case, it worked and they promptly exited the house

313
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 3: and the victim and a neighbor actually chased the intruders

314
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 3: down the street while calling nine to one one. While

315
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 3: on the phone with nine to one one, dispatchers told

316
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 3: the home owner that police were on their way. However,

317
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,880
Speaker 3: it ended up taking police over four hours to reach

318
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 3: the scene due to an overwhelming backlog of emergency calls.

319
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 3: It was only sheer luck in this case that she

320
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 3: wasn't hurt or killed.

321
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: And this is where you asked the question, is Berna

322
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 1: something that could have been used in that situation for

323
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: home defense? And how could she have deployed it to

324
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: keep herself safe and deter those attackers?

325
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 3: You know, absolutely in this case she lucked out and

326
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 3: she was able to call their bluff and they ran off.

327
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: But in many cases that's not going to happen. Any

328
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 3: kind of resistance has to be used to get those

329
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 3: attackers out and to get you to safety. Burna Max

330
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: or kinetic rounds both would allowed her the time to

331
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 3: get out and get somewhere safe.

332
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 1: It is really an incredible option. And I have a Burnham,

333
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: I have real handguns as well, but I always have

334
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: a Burnham and if you want to see what it

335
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: can do to protect you and your family or a

336
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 1: loved one that you know needs this, go to burnum

337
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: b why r Ina dot com Again, that's burnum by

338
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: RNA dot com, Burna dot com. Right now, you go

339
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: back to this neighborhood. And as we went into this neighborhood,

340
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: which the people have a lot of them have still

341
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: not returned. Some of the farmers are coming there to farm.

342
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: But Hesbelon knew the houses that they were blowing up

343
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 1: in this neighborhood were farmers. They knew that they were families.

344
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: And what they did would to justify their attacks early

345
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: on was when the people had fled, the Israeli military

346
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: would take back in to the husband of the home

347
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: to go get some of their belongings before they would

348
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: flee again, and they justified the military walking in the

349
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: house is the reason to blow the house up. And

350
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: so I met with a farmer who had three children

351
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: the exact same age as my kids. Wow, and he

352
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: was showing us his neighborhood and he was talking about

353
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: how I had to come back to tend the fields

354
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: because this is my home and I was literally under

355
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: rocket barrage and would come to work knowing that Hezblah

356
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: was targeting the houses. And so finally after a few

357
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: days that the homeowners said to the military, don't go

358
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: back into my house, because as soon as you go

359
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: in there, they blow up my home and everything is destroyed.

360
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 1: We went into a home. The books of the children

361
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: were still there, the stove was still there the way

362
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: it was set. That morning, the one of the homeowners

363
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: offered me a piece of a broken pot of their

364
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: home and a burner of the stove and said take

365
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: it back, and a piece of their tile in their

366
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: children's bathroom. I'll put it on my desk for the

367
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: rest of my life. But to hear them talk about

368
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 1: the brutality of Hesbla, knowing that you're blowing up a

369
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: farmer's home who has never bothered you in your entire

370
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: life for sport. It was just for sport at that point,

371
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 1: it was even killing a person pure They knew that

372
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 1: they were, yeah, just pure sport and hatred, like we're

373
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: going to blow up your neighborhood because you are Jewish.

374
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,959
Speaker 1: We know you're not there, we know you have fled,

375
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: but we want you to come back to destruction in ruins.

376
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 2: And so you've been in northern Israel. Have you been

377
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: in Tel Aviv? Have you been in Jerusalem? Where else

378
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: have you been been in?

379
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: So? Been in Tel Aviv as well, which is an

380
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,239
Speaker 1: incredible city. I didn't realize how much it's like New

381
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: York City or a major It's a very modern life city, thriving,

382
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: modern city. A lot of technology out of out of

383
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: there that is actually exported to the rest of the world.

384
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: It's incredible the minds of the brilliant minds that are

385
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: working in tel Aviv. I'm staying in Jerusalem. I do

386
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: want to say. One other things I know is.

387
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: That where you are Alice, Jerusalem? Are you at the

388
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: King David Hotel?

389
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in Jerusalem. I met not the King David.

390
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: I'm at the it starts with an A. I can't

391
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,719
Speaker 1: remember the name. I'd have to look around the room

392
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: and find it. But it's right at the entrance of

393
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 1: the of the markets here, and it's a beautiful market.

394
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: That they have built this city to try to revive

395
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: Jerusalem and make it even more for tourists. It's incredible.

396
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: The people here are so kind. But one other thing

397
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 1: I want to mention about this trip so far is

398
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 1: I met with the mother of one of the hostages

399
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: that was taken that became unfortunately, she became famous. If

400
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: you remember the videos that came out, there is a

401
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: girl that's been separated from her boyfriend. She is in

402
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: between two terrasts on a motorcycle and she's reaching out

403
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: and screaming for her boyfriend who is being held with

404
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: his arms and minds back by two terrasts and they're

405
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: separating them. And that video just went viral early on

406
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: in the moments after he was held underground for two

407
00:21:56,280 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 1: years without seeing sunlight and was star he was returned.

408
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,640
Speaker 1: They just re reunited. You may have seen that video

409
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: of them in the hospital finally getting to see each

410
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: other again and hugging and falling backwards as they hug

411
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,399
Speaker 1: on the hospital bed, and the mother was telling the

412
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: story of her son and the trauma, the way that

413
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: they were mentally tortured and lied to, that there was

414
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: destruction of all of Israel, been destroyed, That they were

415
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: told that their loved ones had been killed, their family

416
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: members had been murdered, that no one had survived, that

417
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: they were going to die, that they were going to

418
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: dig their own grapes. Some of them did to see

419
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: the torment, and I think that's one of the things

420
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: i will forever remember from this trip and I'm grateful

421
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: for it. Is when we talk about what this is like,

422
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: the psychological warfare center and the evil of Hamas and

423
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: Hezballah has no ends. Whether it's blowing up farmers' homes

424
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: for sport, whether it is killing children, is that the

425
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: soccer ball and seeing these kids their only was being

426
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: Jewish and playing sports, that's it looks I met.

427
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,640
Speaker 2: So kill civilians are the embodiment of evil, and sadly

428
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 2: we live in a world where where evil is plentiful.

429
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: It's incredible. So today I'm going to be leaving with

430
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: the government and going down to the side of the

431
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:20,840
Speaker 1: attack at the festival uh and I'm going to be

432
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: meeting with some of the hostages there. I'm going to

433
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: hopefully tell those stories as well in one of our

434
00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: next episodes, because it's just telling their stories and letting

435
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: people understand what happened that day, and going to go

436
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: to the kibbutz that were attacked there and and tour

437
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: the homes of the of the the children that were

438
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: that were murdered in their cribs. I'm going to meet

439
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: with the families of the elderly that were killed, including

440
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 1: Holocaust survivors. I met with some Holocaust survivors that were

441
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: had to are homeless in essence and had to move

442
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: to Jerusalem to survive the war. I met with them

443
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: as well. Incredible stories. So we'll have more of that,

444
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: I promise you coming up in other episodes. But I

445
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: want to say to everyone that is listening, if you

446
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 1: are a person of faith, I I the pilgrimage to

447
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: come here and to see, I think the hope of

448
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: our faith and Christianity, to walk where Jesus walked, to

449
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: walk where he carried the cross. I did that the

450
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: first day I was here. Yeah. Uh. And to be

451
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: able to just see the Sea of Galilee and witness

452
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: where so much of our biblical eighty percent of the

453
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: biblical history, uh, and in the in the Bible with Jesus,

454
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: I got to witness from sending him one place one

455
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: It's amazing to see. And it spread to the ward where.

456
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 2: They believe Jesus was crucified, where they believe he was buried,

457
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: and and and and where he rose again. In Heaven.

458
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: I got to go to the tom Yeah.

459
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:40,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean standing in the tomb, I look as

460
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: a believer, it takes your breath away.

461
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. The the the as I described it to family

462
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: in a text, I said, the the level of feeling

463
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: I would say the Holy Spirit in these places is

464
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: something I've never felt before. Uh. The second closest I've

465
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: ever spelt to that type of spiritual gathering of Christians

466
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: was honestly Charlie Kirk's memorial and it was incredible. Two

467
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest spiritual moments in my life have happened

468
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 1: in the last sixty days, both in a weird way

469
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: around tragedy, which also is why I think it's incredible

470
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: when you're a Christian that you know that God is

471
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 1: still a God of hope.

472
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: Amen, let's talk about bad news here at home Tuesday. Yeah,

473
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: the election, really bad election, all right, So let's start.

474
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 2: Let's start with Virginia. So Virginia, we're sitting here, It's

475
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: now eleven thirty six pm on the East Coast. We

476
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: have ninety five percent of the vote in and Abigail

477
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 2: Spanberger the Democrat, has fifty seven point four percent of

478
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 2: the vote. When some Earl Seals has forty two point

479
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: four percent. So it's at this moment, Yeah, it is

480
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 2: one million, nine hundred and five, four hundred and fifty

481
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 2: two votes to one million, four hundred and twenty. And

482
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: I will say four years ago, Glenn Youngkin one and

483
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 2: it was a great moment for American Glenn is a

484
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: good friend. Virginia turned red in this race. Winsome and

485
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: I went and helped do a fundraiser for wins a

486
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago. Winsome is an African American woman.

487
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: She's a strong conservative. She was an immigrant from Jamaica.

488
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 2: She is a marine veteran. She was a strong candidate.

489
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 2: She was massively outspent. I think she was outspent more

490
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 2: than two to one, maybe even three to one.

491
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

492
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: That being said, you go back to the debate between

493
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: Abigail Spanberger and Winsom Earl Series. I've never seen a

494
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 2: more lopsided debate. Abigail Spanberger stared ahead, refused to look

495
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: at her Like you and I have both seen, I

496
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 2: don't know, hundreds of political debates a lot. I've never

497
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 2: seen a political candidate refused to make eye contact with

498
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 2: their opponent. She literally her attitude was one of contempt,

499
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:06,120
Speaker 2: like you don't exist and you don't merit even my attention,

500
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 2: and I got to say it makes me sad. Look

501
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: given the money. Differentially, I'm not shocked that the Democrat won.

502
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 2: We're looking at right now a fifteen point win. That

503
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 2: is yeah, really really bad news.

504
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: It's also I think one of the things that was

505
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: the most shocking about Virginia is we break this down,

506
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised Democrats won there. I do think it

507
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: was a left winning state. Young and when he won,

508
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: it was a perfect storm. You and I, I think,

509
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: are the first to admit that. And I love doing

510
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: this show with you.

511
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I campaigned for Glenn all over Virginia. I

512
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,160
Speaker 2: spent two days on the road with Glenn barnstorming the state.

513
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 2: We won it four years ago, but this is a

514
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: different environment.

515
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a perfect storm.

516
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 2: And he was better funded than once.

517
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 1: More, no doubt about it. But there was a perfect

518
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 1: storm with the issue there with parents and rights and

519
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: schools and the cover up of well, you're right ideology.

520
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 2: So it's worth remembering what happened in lowde County right

521
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 2: before Glenn Youngkin's race, where you had a teenage boy

522
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 2: in high school who went into a girl's bathroom in

523
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 2: high school. He was dressed as a girl, he was

524
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: in a skirt, and he sexually assaulted He sexually assaulted

525
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 2: a teenage girl, and the school covered it up. They

526
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: hid it, and the father of the teenage girl went

527
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: to the school board confronted them and said, my daughter

528
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 2: was raped in your school and you're you're not acknowledging this,

529
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 2: and and and they yelled at him. They said, no,

530
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: there has never been a boy dressed as a girl

531
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 2: who sexually assaulted anyone. That was a lie. By the way,

532
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 2: this same sexual offender was transferred to another school where

533
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 2: he sexually assaulted another girl. Yeah, he did it again,

534
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 2: but they ended up arresting the father of the girl,

535
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 2: of the victim. And that moment was such a clarifying moment.

536
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: You You also had the you know, Randy Winingarten, the

537
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 2: head of the teachers unions campaigning with Cherry mcculluffe, the

538
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: Democrat nominee, where mcculluff said, your kids are not yours

539
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: to educate, we're in charge of your kids. It was

540
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: a perfect storm. Now there was a state's property and

541
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: the voters said, well, now at the same time tonight,

542
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 2: and we're now at eleven forty pm. Eleven forty pm

543
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 2: with ninety four point six percent of the votes in

544
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 2: Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey won fifty six point two

545
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: percent and Jack Chittarelli won forty three point two percent.

546
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 2: So the it's very very similar. The vote totals are

547
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: right now, one million, seven hundred and seventy four hundred

548
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 2: and seventy eight votes for MIKEL. Cheryl the Democrat and

549
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: one million, three hundred and sixty five and fifty two

550
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 2: for Jack Chittarelly. I gotta admit this is an even

551
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: more surprising result for me than Virginia. Of the three

552
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: major elections tonight, I was most optimistic about New Jersey.

553
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 2: Chittarelli seemed an implementum that there were a bunch of

554
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: Democrat mayors and elected officials that were endorsing him. And

555
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: you know, this is just that that's what a thirteen

556
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 2: point differential as we sit here tonight, that is a massive,

557
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: massive loss. And what is disappointing is is that's not

558
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 2: just a loss in Virginia and New Jersey, but Virginia

559
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 2: New Jersey are historically the first off year election after

560
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: a presidential election. They are frequently a Canarian a coal mine.

561
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 2: So you go back to after Obama was elected, you

562
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 2: had Virginia, New Jersey both elected Republicans and it proved

563
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 2: a forerunner of a great Republican victory coming. This ain't

564
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 2: good to have double digit losses in both New Jersey

565
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: and Virginia. It is a really bad sign. If you're

566
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 2: a Democrat tonight, you're thrilled, you're encouraged, And if you're

567
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 2: a conservative, you're someone who loves America. This is a

568
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 2: major warning sign.

569
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, it's a warning sign. But I

570
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: also want to put it in perspective because these are

571
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: states that are that are not Republican states, true, So

572
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: I do want to put that in perspective. I also

573
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: want to say, and I want to give a little

574
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: bit of hope here. The amount of money that came in,

575
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: and let's go back to Virginia for a second, was astronomical.

576
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: You had a candidate that won on the ballot in

577
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: Virginia that had text messages came out saying he wanted

578
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: his political opponents to die, including their children, and said

579
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,120
Speaker 1: in those text messages that it's only when Republicans are

580
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,520
Speaker 1: basically murdered, their children are killed, that then they will

581
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 1: move to our ideology. That is the same type of

582
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: conversations that I've been having in Israel about what terrorists believe.

583
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: And yet that person also won in that race. So

584
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: I go back to Democrats are angry. They are mobilized

585
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: right now. Mundani. For example, in New York, which we're

586
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: gonna move to in a second, and a straight up

587
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,640
Speaker 1: communist is now gonna be running the America's greatest city.

588
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: He just wrapped up his speech there in New York City.

589
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: But the amount of money that Democrats put into Virginia,

590
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: which again is a Democrat state, we did not have

591
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: a perfect storm on the issues this time like we

592
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: did with Younkin last time. I think young Kin was

593
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: a better candidate. I just want to be clear about

594
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: that from a political perspective of which can it was

595
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: better and Virginia we had some momentum there. It's still

596
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: a very liberal state. Is New Jersey is a liberal state?

597
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, But let me say a couple of things. Number One,

598
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 2: Virginia and New Jersey are both very liberal states. Virginia

599
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 2: has a ton of government workers, in northern Virginia. The

600
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 2: Democrats have just caused the longest government shut down in

601
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: American history, and they nonetheless had any maazing on purpose victory.

602
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 2: It was on purpose. So one of the things I said,

603
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: the Democrats would not open the government before today because

604
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 2: they believe the shutdown energizes their base. I predicted we'll

605
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 2: see the government open either later this week or early

606
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 2: next week. And yet apparently all of these government workers

607
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: who are not getting paychecks, who haven't gotten paychecks for

608
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: thirty five days, they all voted left wing. They all

609
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 2: voted Democrat, even the folks that Chuck Schumer and the

610
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: Democrats purposely shut down their jobs, that their ideology mattered

611
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 2: more than their own home mortgage. And I gotta say,

612
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 2: you under explained.

613
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: Let's also explain that the political side of Virginia for

614
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: people that don't live in DC, or never have or

615
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: never worked in DC. So the majority of people that

616
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: work in government in d C, and that's a lot

617
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,880
Speaker 1: of employees. If you have kids, a lot of them

618
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: don't live in DC. District of Columbia is different, housing,

619
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 1: different schooling. A lot the majority of my friends that

620
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: work in politics in DC live in Virginia. So you

621
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 1: talk about the jobs the.

622
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,359
Speaker 2: Agree that I don't know that I would say the

623
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 2: majority of the people, but a large percentage live in

624
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: northern Virginia, a large percentage live in Maryland, and a

625
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 2: significant percentage live in DC.

626
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,840
Speaker 1: I want to take a moment and just talk to

627
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:28,319
Speaker 1: you real quick about an incredible opportunity for you to

628
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 1: continue to expand your mind and learn, no matter what

629
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: your age is. Senator Cruz and I were at the

630
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: memorial service for Charlie Kirk and one of the people

631
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 1: that spoke was the president of Hillsdale College, and he

632
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: talked about meeting with Charlie early on and how he said,

633
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: you're going to have to work hard, you're going to

634
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: have to suffer, and you're going to have to continue

635
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: to learn when he was so young, and he talked

636
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: about all of the classes that Charlie ended up taking

637
00:34:56,239 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: at Hillsdale. I immediately said, I want the listeners of

638
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 1: this show to be able to have the same opportunity

639
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: to do that. There are amazing classes history, economics, the

640
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,319
Speaker 1: great works of literature, the meaning of the US Constitution,

641
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 1: And if you didn't say these things in school, or

642
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: maybe you did, but you were, like, you know, just

643
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: trying to check the box and make the grade when

644
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: you're twenty. Now is a great time for you to

645
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: go back and learn so much more. Hillsdale College is

646

650
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,560
Speaker 1: the US Constitution. I'm doing that when it's incredible, the

651
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 1: rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history

652
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: of the ancient Christian Church. With Hidale College's free online courses.

653
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 1: Now I'm also looking at the Constitution one on one.

Speaker 1: It's amazing. I refresh your course and you can see

655
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: and explore the design, the purpose of the Constitution, the

656
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 1: challenges it faced in the Civil War, and how it's

657
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: been undermined for more than a century by progressives and liberals.

668
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,759
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Virginia the ripple effect is maybe

669
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,400
Speaker 1: a better way of describing it, which is, if you

670
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: live in Virginia, the chances that you are either a

671
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: related or one of your very good friends is missing

672
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,799
Speaker 1: a paycheck right now is dreamly high. And they didn't

673
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: credits that. They're so partisan and they wanted the governor.

674
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: They wanted it.

675
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: They're just angry, and I want to say, I want

676
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 2: to underscore something you said. Look, the governor's race is

677
00:37:12,360 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 2: very disappointing. The one that is frankly shocking is the

678
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 2: Virginia AG race. So j Jones the Democrat won. He

679
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 2: won with fifty two point nine percent. He beat Jason Miarz.

680
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: Jason Millars is the incumbent Republican. He's Cuban American.

681
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

682
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: He got forty six point seven percent. So it was

683
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 2: as of right hand eleven forty seven. J Jones got

684
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 2: one million, seven hundred and three hundred and seventy votes

685
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: and Millar has got one million, five hundred and thirty three,

686
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 2: eight hundred and forty one votes. That is truly shocking

687
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 2: because J. Jones is the one who texted that he

688
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 2: wanted to see the children of the Republican Speaker of

689
00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: the House murder and it was at a time of

690
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 2: political violence. This sick, depraved psychopath. And I'm sorry if

691
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 2: you were wishing. And by the way, he knew those children,

692
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: that these were not abstract children. He knew his colleague.

693
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: They were both serving in the state legislature. He knew

694
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 2: his colleagues children, and he said, I want to see

695
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 2: them murdered. He also said he wanted to see his

696
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 2: colleague murder and at the time of glorifying violence. And

697
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: there was enormous discussion. Now, Abigail Spangberger refused to condemn him.

698
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 2: And I will say the Democrats the degree of message discipline.

699
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 2: Not a single Democrat in Virginia that I'm aware of

700
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 2: or nationally condemn J. Jones for saying and writing he

701
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,920
Speaker 2: wanted to see the children of his political opponent murdered.

702
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,239
Speaker 2: Look the Democrat Party. The message disciplined. If he were

703
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: a Republican, they would have thrown him overboard.

704
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,960
Speaker 3: In a heartbeat.

705
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: But the Democrats don't care. Yes, they were just like, nope,

706
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 2: we're on this team. A little bit of murder of

707
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 2: children doesn't matter. We're in support it, I gotta say.

708
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 2: And there was a lot of polling. Look, when some sears,

709
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: the polling had shown for a fair amount of time

710
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: that she was losing, millara Is, the polling had shown

711
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,320
Speaker 2: that he was winning. And so this is a surprising

712
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 2: result that we're looking at a five to six point victory.

713
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: That means they're Democrats that do not care. I've got

714
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: a candidate who wants children to be murdered. That's my guy.

715
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: Like wow, that is a depressing and sad statement of

716
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: where we are as a country.

717
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 1: It is and if you go from that to New

718
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: York City, which look Mandani said in his speech moments ago,

719
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: this is a clear victory for people wanting change. This

720
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,160
Speaker 1: race center was really about class warfare, It was about

721
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: Robin hood campaign. For him, it was a straight up communism.

722
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: I mean, the red apple is literally a communist apple. Now,

723
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: a man that wants to take from the rich, give

724
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: to the poor, push people out that are wealthy and successful,

725
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 1: tax them into port to being poor, and run people

726
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,000
Speaker 1: out of the state that he says don't want to

727
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 1: pay their fair share or they are fighting him. He's

728
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: all about giving away free stuff, whether it's free bussing

729
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,479
Speaker 1: or free food, free grocery store like. This is full

730
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 1: blown communism, is what he's an advocate for. A guy

731
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: that's never had a real job in his entire life,

732
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 1: a guy that's a radical, his parents a radical as well.

733
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 1: He won overwhelmingly in New York City. That is the

734
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: biggest concern for me is that this cancer of socialism

735
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is spreading, and I would say spreading

736
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,799
Speaker 1: rapidly to America's most biggest and most important financial city.

737
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:51,120
Speaker 2: Look, comrade Mandami is now the mayor of New York.

738
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:56,359
Speaker 2: That is incredibly distressing. This man is a communist and

739
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: he is a jihadist. And those are not using those

740
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,760
Speaker 2: as empty epithetic.

741
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: It's plain the jihadis aspects, So people know what you

742
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: mean by that.

743
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 2: So listen. This is someone who has cheered for Hamas,

744
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: he has called for the eradication of Israel. He is

745
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 2: he is an Islamist. He believes in political Islam. He

746
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: had told the people of New York. The police brutality

747
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: in New York was trained and taught by the IDF,

748
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: the Israeli Defense Forces. That's psychotic. He is a communist.

749
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: And I don't say that in the sense that like

750
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: sometimes people say, oh, democrats are all communists. No, know,

751
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 2: this is someone that calls for seizing the means of

752
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: production in society. He is an explicit and this is

753
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: something that's called the Red Green Alliance, which is the

754
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 2: alliance between Jahadis and communists, and and Mamdani is the

755
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 2: intersection of both of them. There's some Republicans that are happy.

756
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, this is great. We'll have great victories

757
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,879
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight because there's

758
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: such a whack job as mayor of New York that

759
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 2: in every other state will be able to campaign against

760
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 2: comrade Mamdani. I am not celebrating. Look New York. New

761
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: York's not my favorite city in the world. But New

762
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 2: York is a crown jewel of America. New York is

763
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: the financial capital of the world. New York is the

764
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: media capital of the world. By any measure, New York

765
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 2: is one of the most important cities in America. And

766
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:39,600
Speaker 2: to have New York now governed by a radical communist

767
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: jihadis let me tell you what's going to happen. More

768
00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 2: people are going to die in New York. Comrade Mandani

769
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,799
Speaker 2: is going to wage war against the NYPD. I'm in

770
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 2: New York quite a bit, I can tell you. I

771
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 2: actually can't tell you how many New York cops have

772
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 2: said they're terrified of what's going to happen. If this

773
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,760
Speaker 2: guy wins, you're going to see the police.

774
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,440
Speaker 1: Clear in the past, he wants to get rid of

775
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: all police. He said, he wants to abolish the police.

776
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: He believes there should be no police force in New

777
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: York City.

778
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 2: Look, there's gonna be more murders in New York. There's

779
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: gonna be more rapes in New York. They're gonna be

780
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 2: more children attacked in New York. We're going to see

781
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: more with resources fleeing New York, coming to Florida, coming

782
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: to Texas. And the results as of eleven to fifty

783
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: two PM, Mom Donnie fifty point four percent. Andrew Cuomo,

784
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 2: who was the governor of New York he's a Democrat.

785
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,840
Speaker 2: He's not like a right wing guy. He's Andrew friggin

786
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:39,920
Speaker 2: Cuomo forty one point six percent, and then Curtis Silwa

787
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: seven point one percent. Now, look, I would have liked

788
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:49,439
Speaker 2: to have seen Silva drop out. Yeah, to give Qui TV, Yeah,

789
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: to give to give Colomo a better chance of winning.

790
00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 2: Seven percent is just a spoiler. And but I'll tell

791
00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 2: you what's distressing. As of right now, even if Silha

792
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,320
Speaker 2: dropped out, if you gave every bit one hundred percent

793
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 2: of Silba's votes to Cuomo, and you wouldn't have there

794
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 2: some people that would say, I'm not voting for Cuomo.

795
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: But if you gave one hundred percent, Silva as of

796
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,439
Speaker 2: right now had one hundred and forty six, one hundred

797
00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 2: and twenty seven votes. Cuomo had eight hundred and fifty

798
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,239
Speaker 2: four thousand, seven hundred and eighty three. If you add

799
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 2: those two together, it's still less than what Mandani had

800
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 2: of one million, thirty five thousand, six hundred and forty six.

801
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 2: So Mondami right now is at fifty point four percent,

802
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 2: which means it means it didn't matter a majority of

803
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:36,640
Speaker 2: New Yorkers wanted a communist jahatist and I got to say,

804
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:41,000
Speaker 2: you know, a couple of days ago, like we saw

805
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: some Jewish rabbis in New York endorsing Mandami. I got

806
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 2: to tell you a buddy of mine, I went to

807
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 2: college with, very smart guy, brilliant guy. He was a

808
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,719
Speaker 2: college debater, actually had debated with him. But he is

809
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 2: a liberal Democrat. He is a Jewish New Yorker. I

810
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 2: was in New York three four weeks ago and we

811
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 2: spent about an hour sitting around around a glass scotch

812
00:45:04,360 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: where he was explaining he had voted from Amdami. And

813
00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say to that, Like, it

814
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,879
Speaker 2: is truly terrifying where the Democratic Party is going. This

815
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,840
Speaker 2: is the future of the Democrat Party. You might think, okay,

816
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: that votes well for America because the rest of the

817
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 2: country will move in the direction of common sense. I

818
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: got to say, at least New Jersey and Virginia are

819
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 2: not encouraging that regard.

820
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Finally, want to get your

821
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: quick thoughts. It is official. I'm looking at the numbers

822
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: on the TV right now. California has passed Proposition fifty.

823
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: Tell people what that is quickly and your reaction to that.

824
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 2: So California wants to redistrict. They're going to redistrict to

825
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 2: create five new Democrat seats. California is already one of

826
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 2: the most heavily gerrymandered states in the country. I think

827
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 2: eighty three percent of the seats are Democrat, even though

828
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: only about sixty percent of the votes or Democrat. They're

829
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 2: gonna jack it up to over ninety percent Democrat. They're

830
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,799
Speaker 2: just they're trying to eliminate Republicans. They're telling Republicans in California,

831
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: you have no voice. And this is an example Democrats

832
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: do not give a damn about democracy. This is all

833
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: about power. Now you're gonna see other Republican states respond.

834
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna see other Republican states redistrict. They claimed they

835
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 2: were doing this in response to Texas, but Texas was

836
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 2: went from about sixty three percent Republicans to about seventy

837
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 2: six percent Republicans. Texas votes overwhelmingly Republicans, so by any measure,

838
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: even under the new map, Texas is markedly less gerrymanner

839
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 2: than California used to be. And they decided eighty three

840
00:46:58,080 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: percent is not enough. We want to get north of

841
00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:05,960
Speaker 2: This is pure power. This show's Gavin Newsom has contempt

842
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 2: for democracy and and and it is sadly typical of

843
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 2: where democrats are Nashley, Yeah, it is, It truly is.

844
00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: And they just said, if you're a Republican in California,

845
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,239
Speaker 1: you have a zero representation here, get out, leave the

846
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: state and we will not listen to a word that

847
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: you say. It's amazing. It is like you said, it

848
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 1: was a rough night for Republicans. I say it again,

849
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: putting it in perspective. These are all places that lean Democrat.

850
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: They had a lot of money, they had a lot

851
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 1: of momentum, They wanted to show some victories against Donald Trump.

852
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: The government shutdown clearly had a big impact in the

853
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:46,239
Speaker 1: Virginia race there. And and I'm still in shock by

854
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 1: where we are in New York City, Uh with it

855
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: with a full blown communist there. We're gonna keep talking

856
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: about it. We'll keep you informed and we'll also I

857
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,399
Speaker 1: will be giving you the stories coming up in two

858
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: days about seeing where this master took place on the

859
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: October seventh attack in Israel, and the victims I'm gonna

Speaker 1: meet with will have all that for you on the
