He may read it on the show. 0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:17.000 It's amazing to continue to watch the left in power, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.680 whether it's the Biden administration, all the enablers, all the 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.800 people around it, the puppeteers as I call them, and 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:28.520 the people in the press who are just scrambling to 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:31.600 find ways to make it seem like this guy who 0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:34.720 is the current commander in chief is in any way, 0:00:34.800 --> 0:00:37.440 shape or form really up to this job. But it's 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:42.239 amazing to watch them not able to make sense of 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:45.600 that which is so clear and so obvious. In fact, 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:49.640 they often take the wrong conclusions or come to the 0:00:49.680 --> 0:00:55.080 wrong conclusions from the most clear and most important evidence 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.319 that you could see.

Nobody really thinks that Benjamin 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.959 don Yahoo is going to do what Joe Biden says. Right. 0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.480 We all understand that I know that there's a close 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.760 relationship between Israel and the US and that they are 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:38.440 a strong ally in the Middle East on so many issues, 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.320 but It's as I've been saying all along. When someone 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.600 threatens you with lethal force, you your family, your people. 0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:50.760 With lethal force, you do what you have to do 0:02:51.360 --> 0:02:56.280 to stop that threat. Everything else just starts to sound 0:02:56.320 --> 0:03:00.040 like noise. Everything outside of that is a second and 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.880 dary consideration at best. And I do want there to 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.560 be a ceasefire, and I understand that desire, but I 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:11.120 also know that it will come when the Israelis no 0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:16.680 longer have concerns about an imminent threat from Hamas rockets 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:19.800 and Hamas terrorist acts. That's just the way this is 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:23.320 going to play out, so we have to keep focused 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:27.120 on that. But the thing for me that's pretty fascinating 0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.799 to watch it play out is how the left in 0:03:29.800 --> 0:03:35.760 this country manages to show us so many of the 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:42.800 philosophical dysfunctions that they bring to domestic political issues. You 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:48.080 see in the context of Israel and the Palestinians, so 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:53.880 many of the misconceptions, the moral relativism, the obsession with victimology, 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.880 the view of everything through a racial and ethnic lens, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:04:02.119 so much of that as apparent, And in that way, 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.800 I think that this can be instructive for all of us, 0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:10.120 because you see that the left approaches everything foreign policy, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.680 domestic policy, economic issues, national security issues, applying these same 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:25.800 intellectually bankrupt, morally rotten approaches. They use relativism, victimology, Marxism, 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.080 critical race theory, which is really just a cousin and 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:36.040 an offshoot on the family tree of Marxism. But they 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.960 apply those frameworks to it, and that's how they end 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:43.400 up with absurd things. That's how they end up saying 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.600 very very stupid things and not it seems as though 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:50.760 they're not able to figure out the most basic concepts 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.600 of foreign policy. Who are your friends? Who are your enemies? 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:58.000 Do they know? The difference? Doesn't matter? That's just start 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.520 with that approach whenever you're talking abou That's just a 0:05:00.560 --> 0:05:04.440 good framework for pretty much life. But it certainly works 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.400 on the world stage. Who are your friends? Who are enemies? 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.200 Do they know the difference? Does it matter? Does it matter? 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.720 And it seems that there are a lot of people 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.600 in this country who have a strange affinity for hamas 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:24.279 a terrorist death cult that will execute people for any 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:29.159 number of crimes, real or imagined, that will kill people 0:05:29.200 --> 0:05:33.960 who oppose the regime with impunity, that will kill homosexuals, 0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:38.840 that will kill people for a whole range of not 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:42.040 actual crimes. But Hamas is a terrorist organization that will 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:47.000 determine that there must be an extreme punishment. They will 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:50.160 throw people off of buildings. It's a mafia state with 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:54.359 some ge hottest flavor thrown in. That's what's really the 0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:59.560 essence of Hamas, an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood in 0:05:59.600 --> 0:06:03.760 its orgins. This should be quite clear any of you 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:06.279 who have been to Israel as I have no It's 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.920 a rule of law, well functioning state where people just 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:14.400 want to live their lives in peace and want to 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.720 pursue their own dreams and have their own freedoms. You know, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.960 you have Palestinian members of the Knesset. You have Palestinians 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:27.000 who have senior posts in government, and they support the 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.880 Israeli efforts to stop the rocket fire from coming down 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.160 all over Israel. They agree with them. I mean, I'll 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.839 tell you this right now. For all my criticism of 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:42.839 the Biden administration, if China invaded tomorrow, I'd be talking 0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.919 about how I want to be shoulder to shoulder with 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:49.000 good old Uncle Joe and all the crazy Libs repelling 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.719 that invasion. You know, there are some things that really 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:55.760 do bring people together. And when you're living in a 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:59.280 small country it's like the size of New Jersey and 0:07:00.120 --> 0:07:02.839 you are getting hit with rockets all over the place. 0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:08.800 It is very understandable in those circumstances. It's very understandable 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:12.720 that you're going to rally behind leadership and want your 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:16.680 national government, wants your armed forces to do everything they 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.680 can to keep you safe. And yet the idiots of 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:25.559 the American left see a moral equivalency here in some ways, 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.320 or they can't seem to compute all of this. They 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.600 don't seem to understand, well, why is it that the 0:07:31.720 --> 0:07:38.840 Israelis end up killing more Palestinians then Hamas ends up 0:07:38.920 --> 0:07:43.600 killing Israelis Well, because they're in this for very different reasons, 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:48.600 trying to achieve very different ends. Hamas also started it, 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:53.200 which is another very important fact to keep in mind 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.560 as we go through all this. But for me, more 0:07:55.560 --> 0:07:58.760 than anything else, this illuminates some of the core dysfunctions 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.680 of left wing thinking. Shows you why not only do 0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:04.920 they get it wrong on Israel Palestine, they get it 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.400 wrong on so many things in so many areas. There's 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:16.560 a deficiency in their approach. Here's Chris Hayes of MSNBC, 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.720 who it seems to be an increasingly radical leftist over 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.800 the years. He used to just be a kind of 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:29.000 you know, shrill Beta mail, but now he actually seems 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.720 to want to pose as the revolutionary of sorts. But anyway, 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.000 here he is. And by the way, before I play 0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.360 the audio here, I want to be clear. I don't 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.480 want anyone dying in Israel or in Gaza. I wish 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.880 there was no violence, and I certainly don't want innocent 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:48.120 civilians to be killed. But Hamas forces a situation where 0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:52.280 that will happen. And in fact, and there's plenty of 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.880 proof of this, because they do have a cult of martyrdom, 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:56.400 so to call it a death cult is by no 0:08:56.480 --> 0:09:00.240 means an exaggeration. You can even see there are are 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.720 mothers of suicide bombers that have been interviewed of Hamas 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:07.760 and other jihadist anti Israel entities in the West Bank, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:13.000 the Gaza Strip. There are interviews with the parents, with 0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:17.240 mothers even of of young boys who have been suicide 0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.840 bombers in Israel, and they are considered shahid, they are martyrs, 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.680 and they celebrate this. They think that this was a 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:28.640 good thing, a good idea, to go in and strap. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:30.720 This is from years back when this was a constant 0:09:30.760 --> 0:09:33.960 threat against the Israelis. But they would send individuals with 0:09:34.120 --> 0:09:37.760 suicide vests into a crowded cafe in Tel Aviv or 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:42.200 in Jerusalem and try to murder and maim as many 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.120 people just who happen to be trying to get a drink, 0:09:45.400 --> 0:09:49.960 trying to see friends, see family. That's Hamas's version of 0:09:50.520 --> 0:09:55.120 their their glorious resistance. I mean true evil, really evil personified. 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.200 And yet Chris Hayes sits here saying, why don't we 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:04.439 get an iron dome for Gaza play nineteen. You know 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.920 there's been these images I've seen of the Iron Dome system. Right, 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.520 so this this missile defense system the US partly funded, 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:13.280 that has been intercepting Hamasa rockets into Israel, and those 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.320 rockets are being fired as a Palestinia Human rights layers 0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.160 had said on their show last night, indiscriminately civilians are 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:23.040 war crime by definition. And the Iron Dome has worked 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.040 quite well today. Some got through. I think two Thai 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:28.480 nationals Hasraeli died as a result. But I look at 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.240 those images, I think, well, good, that's good. I'm glad 0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:34.240 that those rockets are being intercepted. And also there's some 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.080 part of me it's like, can we get an iron 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.320 dome for Gaza? Can the American taxpayer foot the bill 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.080 to protect innocent children in Gaza, where there's two million 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.480 people in one of the most densely parted populated parts 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.440 of the world, so that they don't have death rained 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:53.360 down upon them. The iron dome in Gaza is for 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.920 Hamas to stop firing rockets, then they'd have a de 0:10:57.040 --> 0:11:00.239 facto iron dome because Theseraelis don't want to bomb Gaza. 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:05.280 How does a primetime host that MSNBC not understand this 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:10.000 because it's yet another deficiency of left wing thinking, bringing 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:13.960 moral relativism into this, as if the situations are the same, 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:17.920 as if there's an equivalency here between Israeli air strikes 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:23.560 on positions that are Hamas militants, where yes, there are 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.439 and will be civilian casualties that are part of that too, 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:29.439 and the Hamas approach, which is just kill anybody you can, 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:32.120 as many as you can go for, do it as 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:37.480 often as possible. If there was more parody among the 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:42.360 military capabilities of Hamas and Israel, if we were anything 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.080 near that, we would just have a bigger war. I 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:51.040 think it was Ari Fleischer who put out on Twitter, 0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:52.800 and I don't know if heat coined this or if 0:11:52.800 --> 0:11:57.000 this is a quote from somebody else, but if Hamas disarmed, 0:11:57.160 --> 0:12:01.920 the violence would end tomorrow. If Israel disarmed, Hamas would 0:12:02.000 --> 0:12:08.240 end Israel. That's the truth. These are basic fundamental understandings 0:12:08.240 --> 0:12:10.760 of the situation. So why does the left get this 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:17.240 stuff so wrong? Because they apply the frameworks of identity politics, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:25.840 racial Marxism, victimology, anti colonial indoctrination. They apply all of 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.880 those to this conflict today instead of just looking at 0:12:29.880 --> 0:12:33.400 it with clear eyes and saying who's causing the violence 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.720 and how do we stop the violence? I think it's 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.200 the media itself is finally beginning to air both sides 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:43.520 of the dispute. Social media is doing things that you 0:12:43.559 --> 0:12:46.280 all are not able or willing to do. The images 0:12:46.320 --> 0:12:49.719 that people are seeing on social media they cannot unsee. 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.000 And I think that you have changes that are going on. 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.440 Things like the Tulsa riots, things like Black Lives Matter 0:12:56.720 --> 0:13:00.480 are seen as connected by a very large number of people, 0:13:00.559 --> 0:13:03.800 not just in the Democratic Party, but partly particularly young 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:08.160 people on campuses, young people all over the country. And 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.480 I think this is something that's actually happening, not just 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.280 in the United States. There's a lot of pushback, there 0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.360 will be even more pushback, but I think people are 0:13:16.880 --> 0:13:20.439 moving in the direction of understanding that much many of 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.520 these bromides. Israel has a right to defend itself. Do 0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:26.920 Palestinians have a right to defend themselves? Israel's security? The 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.920 most insecure people in Palestine and Israel are Palestinians. And 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:34.480 we talk about Israel's security. If people are people and 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.319 we believe in him rights, which the United States supposedly 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.960 stands for, then the kinds of things that we expect 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:43.600 for ourselves we should expect for people, not just in Israel, 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:51.040 but also in Palestine. Always be wary of eloquent, sophomoric 0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:56.520 bullcrap like this the bromides. He says like Israel has 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:01.120 a right to defend itself. Yes, that is true. This 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.840 is as I've said. They can try to tell people 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:07.880 as much as they want that Israel shouldn't do what 0:14:07.880 --> 0:14:11.760 it is doing right now in response to these Palestinian 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.600 rocket attacks Hamas rocket effects. Remember Hamas is the government 0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:19.320 of Gaza. So it's not like there's some little, tiny 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.360 fringe group that is firing some rockets that has nothing 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:25.800 to do really with the mass of the Palestinian people 0:14:25.800 --> 0:14:29.480 in Gaza, and Israel is just wildly overreacting to it 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.440 and using as an excuse to kick people out of 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.960 their homes or take territory or whatever it may be. 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:39.000 That's not happening right now. That's not the situation. But 0:14:39.280 --> 0:14:42.840 notice that the connection made here by that Rashid Khalidi 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:49.600 guest on MSNBC. He refers to to Jim Crow, he 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:54.560 refers to racial struggles in this country in the past. 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:59.320 What does that have to do with Israel and Palestine. Well, 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.040 I know that the left has all these different frameworks 0:15:02.080 --> 0:15:03.960 that they applied and they say, oh, but you know, 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:08.920 Israel is an ethnonationalist state and it's a terrible place. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:12.040 And I sit here and to say, how many Islamic 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.040 states are there in the region. Do we ever hear 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:17.520 them referred to as ethno nationalist states. Yeah, show up 0:15:17.520 --> 0:15:20.320 in Saudi Arabia and be like, hey, I'm a I'm 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.840 a white Christian or a I'm a white Jew, and 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:27.200 I demand, you know, equal rights and equal treatment. See 0:15:27.240 --> 0:15:33.320 how that goes for you. But we we get distracted 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:35.680 here from the core of what's really happening, that they 0:15:35.720 --> 0:15:39.280 want to always turn this into a a historical struggle, 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:44.760 I'll say this, or a historical debate. It does remind 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.880 me of when you're in something of a toxic relationship. 0:15:48.840 --> 0:15:50.520 Some of you have maybe been through this. I've been 0:15:50.520 --> 0:15:53.760 through this. Unfortunately in life, you're in a toxic relationship. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.400 What is a sign of a toxic relationship when you 0:15:56.440 --> 0:16:01.080 try to address a problem and the other party in 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:05.840 that relationship does not want to address the problem and 0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:09.560 just wants to bring in other things that they disapprove 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:13.080 of or don't don't like in order to go on 0:16:13.240 --> 0:16:18.400 offense against you and avoid or even nullify the problem 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.960 that you have raised. This is very destructive, right, Hey, 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.520 you know I invited you to this to be my 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.840 my date to the wedding, and you were two hours late. 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:35.080 And then it's well, you didn't you know, take me 0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:37.960 out to dinner on our anniversary and you said you would, 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.720 and we just had, you know, a cupcake instead or something. Right, 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:47.320 that's toxic. That's you. You have to deal with the 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.880 issue you're talking about. You can always find a way 0:16:50.880 --> 0:16:53.800 to make it about something else, to bring up some 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:58.320 other issue and focus in on that. Here you have, 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:02.400 you know, people that are going to try all these 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:04.760 different historical analogies and bring up all these things that 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.160 are not really about the issue at hand, and it's 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.359 because they don't want to deal with the fact that 0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:17.280 this is quite clear, this is a straightforward situation with 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.560 the Israelis and Hamas right now. I'm talking about the fighting. 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:22.960 I'm not saying they're overall circumstance in the region. Yeah, 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:24.639 I know a lot of history, a lot of enmity, 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.639 a lot of bad blood, and all kinds of stuff. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.080 But you fire rockets of people, they're going to come 0:17:30.119 --> 0:17:32.320 back and hit you, and they're going to try to 0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.240 stop you from being able to fire rockets like that. Again, 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:35.880 They're they're not going to wait and see if you're 0:17:35.880 --> 0:17:39.200 going to be nice the next time. Basic reality of life, 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:42.480 and if you're in a weaker position than they are, 0:17:43.400 --> 0:17:49.520 you shouldn't have fired rockets unwise. But Representative Jayapile, for example, 0:17:49.960 --> 0:17:53.080 is trying to find a way to make this about 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.960 blaming Israel Play seven. Well, we condemn Hamasa's firing of 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.280 those rockets, but I think you have to look at 0:18:00.320 --> 0:18:04.439 what prompted even that behavior. I think there was, you know, 0:18:04.480 --> 0:18:12.400 the continuing annexation that Israel has been undertaking for years actually, 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.600 and you know, Jake I was at Kanaalakmar several years 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.960 ago when the bulldozers arrived to bulldoze that village. It 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.239 was stopped by an injunction from the Supreme Court. But 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.160 this has been a pattern of action from Israel that frankly, 0:18:27.200 --> 0:18:30.960 has taken away the idea even of a two state solution. 0:18:31.040 --> 0:18:35.680 Has led to increased hopelessness from the Palestinian people. And 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:38.920 I think what Hamas has done is obviously we condemned that, 0:18:39.200 --> 0:18:41.680 but we have to look at the power of balance 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.439 here or imbalance as it were, and we have to 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:50.560 put more responsibility on Israel. We condemned that, but that's 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:52.760 the construction that you'll hear all the time. That's the 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:56.280 construct rather you'll hear all the time from leftists on this. 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.439 We have to put more responsibility on Israel. You know 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:02.480 what Israel was doing until a couple of weeks ago, 0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:07.000 trying to get their people back to full free life 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:12.400 after mass vaccination campaign, trying to reopen, trying to have 0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:16.880 companies create really valuable intellectual property and prosperity for their 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:20.679 own people, and patents and things that will be useful 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:23.360 all over the world. That's what Israel was doing. What 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:25.919 were they doing in Gaza? Yes, there are people going 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.239 about their lives. I understand that, feeding themselves, sending your 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:31.200 children to school, But what was the regime doing in Gaza? 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:35.240 Stockpiling missiles to fire at Israel. Again, they can try 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:39.560 to make this much more complicated. We can allow the 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.920 faculty lounge of left wing loons to frame this however 0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:45.960 they want. At the end of the day, this is 0:19:46.040 --> 0:19:54.120 not a situation that requires a particularly adept mind to understand. 0:19:54.720 --> 0:19:56.159 All you have to do is look at what is 0:19:56.200 --> 0:19:58.800 happening and understand that there are good people and there 0:19:58.800 --> 0:20:01.000 are bad people in this world. There are good decisions 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:03.040 and bad decisions. There is right and wrong, and the 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:05.840 moment you just start to think in those terms, instead 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:08.840 of using a lot of jargon and bringing in all 0:20:08.920 --> 0:20:13.080 kinds of Marxism and intersectionality, you say, Israel is going 0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.120 to defend itself and the Palestinian people should find better 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:19.600 leadership than Hamas. Joe Biden came in and in just 0:20:19.800 --> 0:20:23.359 four months he's frittered all of that away, he's undermined 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.680 Israel and Prime Minister net and Yahoo. He's sent over 0:20:26.720 --> 0:20:31.080 one hundred million dollars to the Palestinian Authority with the PA, 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:34.240 which is in bed with Hamas. Hamas the terrorists that 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.840 are firing those rockets you're showing right now, they've fired 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:41.760 over four thousand rockets into Israel, and every one of 0:20:41.800 --> 0:20:44.800 those rockets might as well have Joe Biden's name written 0:20:44.840 --> 0:20:47.000 on the side of it, because it is his weakness, 0:20:47.320 --> 0:20:52.119 his appeasement, his moral relativism and ambiguity, his lack of 0:20:52.440 --> 0:20:56.119 backbone to stand up and stand with Israel that is 0:20:56.240 --> 0:21:00.359 causing this war in the Middle East. Now, Biden is 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:03.639 certainly out of his depth and is being tested in 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:07.760 a variety of ways and found wanting already. But I 0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:14.000 do have to say that we like to sometimes push 0:21:14.040 --> 0:21:16.520 this a little a little more as as a Biden 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.000 issue on the right than it is a lot of 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:23.359 other factors too. Now, would the mess around and find 0:21:23.400 --> 0:21:26.240 out approach of Hamas have been the same under a 0:21:26.280 --> 0:21:29.359 Trump administration. I don't think so, But I don't I 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:32.399 don't know if it's quite accurate for Ted Cruise to 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:35.480 say the rockets fired might as well have Biden's name 0:21:35.480 --> 0:21:39.720 on it. Biden at our southern border. Yes, people are 0:21:40.040 --> 0:21:43.120 literally showing up with Biden t shirts on and saying 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:48.120 I'm here because of Biden. That's that's real Biden rockets. 0:21:47.920 --> 0:21:50.399 There's a that's a that's a little Ted's bush. It 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:54.000 a little far on that one. Because here's the other 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:58.800 side of this. At the top level, administrations, both Democrat 0:21:58.800 --> 0:22:04.520 and Republican have largely the same approach to Israel. Now, 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:08.760 that was a bit different during the Obama years, but 0:22:08.840 --> 0:22:14.160 there was no Obama administration ending of USA to Israel. 0:22:14.400 --> 0:22:17.200 There was no Obama administry. You know. Obama said things 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.959 that showed Israelis that he had a particular soft spot 0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:25.840 for the Palestinian cause as a civil rights and human 0:22:25.920 --> 0:22:31.520 rights struggle, right, said things that definitely irked people inside 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.920 of Israel's no question about that. But if you look 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:39.240 at the actions, it wasn't that different. It wasn't that different. 0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:42.520 And this is where you see a lot of Democrats, 0:22:43.240 --> 0:22:47.720 far left democrats are upset. They're angry with their own 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:52.920 side because they feel like at the top level, the Schumers, 0:22:53.440 --> 0:23:00.399 the Pelosis, they are pretty pro Israel in their statements 0:23:00.440 --> 0:23:02.760 you know, they'll call for a need to be even handed, 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:04.600 and they'll call for a need to ceasepart, but it's 0:23:05.240 --> 0:23:07.280 it's not really going to do anything. They know that, 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:12.720 they understand that they're just they're just posturing. There are 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:14.760 some who go a little bit, a little bit further 0:23:14.760 --> 0:23:17.040 than this. I mean, they love to attack Net and Yahoo. 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:22.080 They view net and yah who as an Israeli conservative right. 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:24.200 They viewed Net and Yah who as if the GOP 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:27.440 existed in Israel, Net and Yahoo would be the head 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:31.760 of it. That's the mentality that democrats have. And so 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.960 that you have people like Senator Dick Durbin here who 0:23:35.000 --> 0:23:38.320 knows that he's he's not going to oppose Israel that 0:23:38.440 --> 0:23:41.359 much openly. He's not gonna say that it's going to 0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.920 upset not just the Israelis but Jewish American voters who 0:23:46.119 --> 0:23:49.159 also pay close attention to a lot of this commentary. 0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:52.000 You know, even friends of mine like David Harsani, will 0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:56.320 will say repeatedly and openly that they don't view anti 0:23:56.440 --> 0:24:00.800 Israel sentiment as being different from anti Semitism. They don't 0:24:00.880 --> 0:24:05.120 view that as the great separation that others do. Here's 0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.160 Dick Durbin talking about the policies of net Yahoo though 0:24:09.200 --> 0:24:12.119 Who he is someone who is safe for the left 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.800 to attack on this stuff play too. I couldn't disagree 0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.159 more with the policies of Bbing Netniah Who when he 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:21.760 comes to the treatment of Palestinians and the establishment of settlements. 0:24:22.200 --> 0:24:25.000 I think the two state solution is the only realistic 0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:27.760 future in that part of the world, and the abandonment 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:31.600 of that approach by not netnah Who and his followers 0:24:31.760 --> 0:24:34.080 I don't believe is constructive and I think is added 0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:38.480 to the tension and stress between Israel and the Palestinians. 0:24:39.240 --> 0:24:42.399 That's the reality, and I am certainly not going to endorse. Now. 0:24:42.560 --> 0:24:45.120 Let me add very quickly, I made a commitment early 0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:47.520 in my career that I'm standing by. I am going 0:24:47.560 --> 0:24:51.080 to support the survival of Israel. Those who want to 0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:54.639 cut back on the protective missiles and such that they need, 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.040 I don't join in that they live in a very 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:01.800 dangerous neighborhood. Although I wholeheartedly disagree with amtnia Who policy, 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:04.080 I am going to stand by my commitments to the 0:25:04.080 --> 0:25:07.920 survival of Israel. So I am mad at nan Yahu, 0:25:08.000 --> 0:25:12.199 but I stand by Israel. This is a classic establishment 0:25:12.680 --> 0:25:17.360 Democrat politician approach. You got to find something to make 0:25:17.440 --> 0:25:21.800 the squad voters, and you know, to make the AOC 0:25:22.000 --> 0:25:26.360 wing of the party. You gotta give them something. But yeah, 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:29.639 ultimately got to stay on the side of Israel on 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:32.639 this as a Democrat too. So there's this frustration. You 0:25:32.680 --> 0:25:35.880
