1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,000 Speaker 1: Newly released drone video shows Palestinian militants pretending to be 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,840 Speaker 1: workers from the world's Central Kitchen. They travel in two cars, 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: one marked with the flag of the Humanitarian Organization before 4 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: they're hit by IDF airstrikes. 5 00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:17,360 Speaker 2: WCK in real time were able to verify that vehicle 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 2: was not connected to the organization in any way, which 7 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: means those tears were using that as a disguise for 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: their terror activity inside Gaza. 9 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple areas of the enclave over the 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: past twenty four hours, killing dozens of Palestinian civilians. 11 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 3: Okay, so in spite of that, it's absolutely documented, undeniable 12 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 3: that Hamas guys were masquerading as food relief guys. NBR 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 3: considers it completely impossible that they would impersonate journalists, or 14 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 3: at least that's what they're saying in this sence, and 15 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 3: those views are supported practically to a person by the 16 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: American left, a lot of the left in a lot 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,319 Speaker 3: of the Western world. What the hell is going on? 18 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 3: To quote Eli Lake, who's a brilliant writer in the West, 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: the politics of the Gaza War feature a strange marriage 20 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 3: between political Islam and the twenty first century Western left, 21 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 3: for instance, the Democratic Socialists of America. This is Mumdani's 22 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 3: crew simultaneously support making New York a national hub for 23 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: transgender medicine and want to globalize the Intifada. 24 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, that is a good point. 25 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 3: It supp it supports the bleeding edge of social progressive 26 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 3: values while throwing its full support behind the fanatic fascists 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 3: who filmed their mass murder of Jews and probably posted 28 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 3: the videos to Telegram and Lake. In an absolutely fabulous 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 3: piece that will post I think you might get paywalled, 30 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 3: but maybe not. Talks about how the what's called the 31 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 3: red Green alliance among people who think about this sort 32 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: of thing, how it came up, and it really came up, 33 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 3: And yes. 34 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: He was red in who's green here? 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: Reds is and communists in green, the color of Hama 36 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 3: and radical Islam and various thank you for asking for 37 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: the clarification to hit for the room. Anyway, A lot 38 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 3: of this arose during Iran's Islamic Revolution nineteen seventy eight 39 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 3: and seventy nine. And he goes into and it's so 40 00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 3: interesting the details of how Ayatola Komaney, who is in 41 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: exile in France, started giving all sorts of really carefully 42 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:31,160 Speaker 3: controlled interviews to American and European media outlets, and how 43 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: they're on this pr campaign to convince the West that 44 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 3: he's a reasonable fellow. In fact, he's really for democracy, 45 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: and Lake is writing. Anybody who spent ten minutes looking 46 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 3: into Komane knew that he was a hardcore is Lomist monster. 47 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: You didn't even have to try to figure it out. 48 00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 3: But the left of American journalism, in Western journalism, and 49 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 3: some folks like in the Carter administration became completely convinced 50 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: and touted in the face of all of this that no, 51 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 3: he was actually a really good guy. Richard Falk, a 52 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: Princeton professor of international law who met with Comane during 53 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 3: his exile outside of Paris. Andrew Young, Jimmy Carter's ambassador 54 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 3: to the United Nations, told reporters that the Iotola will 55 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 3: eventually be regarded as a saint like this fulk the 56 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: Princeton professor, And because people were saying there were some 57 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: on the right who said, look, this guy's a reactionary 58 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 3: and a terrorist. And he said, to suppose that Iotola 59 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 3: Comane is disassembling seems almost beyond belief. His political style 60 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: is to express his real views defiantly and without apology, 61 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 3: regardless of consequences. Blah blah blah. Thus the depiction of 62 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: him as a fanatical reactionary and the bearer of crude 63 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 3: prejudices seemed certainly and happily false. I know. Is also 64 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 3: encouraging is that as entourage of close advisors is uniformly 65 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: and composed of moderate progressive individuals. 66 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: I know you and Eli Lake are about to explain 67 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: to me why. But is it just as simple as 68 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 4: the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and my 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: enemy is me the United States. So somebody who doesn't 70 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 4: like us is good to. 71 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: I like, right there. There's more to it than that, 72 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 3: but yeah, the very short version of it is essentially, 73 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 3: wait a minute, you want to overthrow Western civilization. I 74 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: want to overthrow Western civilization. You want to impose Islamism, 75 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 3: but I want to impose Marxism. Well, I tell you what, 76 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 3: how about we work together and then when the civilization's overthrown, 77 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: will peacefully cooperate and divide the spoils. Then, of course, 78 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: like in every revolution, they kill each other as fast 79 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: as they can. But there's one more factor. 80 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: You got jihad in my queer studies. You got queer 81 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 4: studies in my jihad. Two great tastes. It tastes great together. 82 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: Oh that's beautiful anyway. So this brings us to the 83 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: connection between something I have been harping about for a 84 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 3: very long time, as has James Lindsay and other folks. 85 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: If there is one Western progressive who illuminates the emergence 86 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 3: of the Red Green alliance, it is the French philosopher 87 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 3: Michelle Foucaut. Well I've mentioned several times. In nineteen seventy eight, 88 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: fouc was absolutely the peak of his influence. He was 89 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 3: the postmodernist who is revolutionizing universities with his withering critique 90 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 3: of the Western Enlightenment and values that underpin modern liberalism. 91 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 3: Fucaut is literally anti Enlightenment, and he is the father 92 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 3: of all critical theory. Okay, And I think people have 93 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 3: a tendency to think, all right, Getty and Lindsay are 94 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: paranoid or whatever, or their conspiracy theorist. I had a 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: friend in high school who was Indian. His parents had 96 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 3: emigrated from India and they were Hindus, and in visiting 97 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: his house and hanging out with his family, so it 98 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 3: became clear to me that there were figures in Hinduism 99 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: that were known and revered to billions of people around 100 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 3: the world who I'd never heard of. I would suggest 101 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: to you my friends, and you are my friends. Fuko 102 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: is that for the Neomarxists, for those who would overthrow 103 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: Western civilization. He is a godhead to them. And you 104 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 3: don't know his name, but trust me what I tell you. 105 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: It's incredibly important that you understand. So, this guy was 106 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: incredibly influential in the universities in the seventies, and in 107 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 3: nineteen seventy eight he was commissioned by two Italian newspapers 108 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 3: to report on the Iranian Revolution. And like one of 109 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 3: those you know Left East you know Time magazine guys 110 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: who were visiting the Soviet Union and one of their 111 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 3: Potempkin villages back in the forties, say or fifties, he 112 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 3: couldn't stop gut gushing about how great the Itola was, 113 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: and he was going to get rid of the oppression 114 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: of Western politics and Zabadabadu. So, and this gets a 115 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 3: little complicated, but I'll get to the simple part. Fuco 116 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 3: was a major intellectual influence on the late Columbia University 117 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: of Professor Edward Sayd's Orientalism Now a postcolonial Ism study Bible, 118 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: which critiqued how Western imperial writers made Arabs, Muslims and 119 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: Easterners objects in their narratives and impose their own agenda 120 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: on their histories. Here is the great postmodernist celebrating Ayatola 121 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: Komany overthrowing the Western government, even though Komane would would 122 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 3: execute Fuco and his company the first chance they got. 123 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 3: But that was the birthplace of it. And until you 124 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: understand that postmodernism thing, you don't get critical theory. You 125 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: don't understand what DEI is and what it's trying to accomplish. 126 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: You don't understand queer theory, radical gender theory, all the 127 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: confused adolescent girls getting their healthy breasts removed because they're 128 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 3: momentarily confused by you know, adolescents and puberty and the 129 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 3: rest of it. This is all straight back to Fuco 130 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 3: and critical theory. 131 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 4: Clearly, this theory is true in that it is happening. 132 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 4: I still don't get how you're not argued out of 133 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,280 Speaker 4: that position very quickly. If somebody says to you, you 134 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 4: realize if you're in Iran, they would they would murder 135 00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 4: you immediately. Well, yeah, so I guess I'd better pick 136 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 4: a different group to work with. 137 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 3: I mean, right, a different philosophy. Here's the thing, and 138 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 3: these people are smart. I mean they're insane, but they're smart. 139 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 3: They convince you completely of their premise that Western society 140 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 3: what was that phrase, uh, have made all other people 141 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 3: objects in their narratives and impose their own agenda on 142 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 3: their histories. The key philosophy of critical theory is that 143 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: there is no objective truth there. 144 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 4: Don't even seek it, it doesn't exist. 145 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: All there is is narratives, and narratives come from your culture, 146 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 3: and since Western culture is dominant, it has created a 147 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: narrative that says the Iyatola Komene is a monster, but 148 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: that's just because they're threatened by him, so they're racists, 149 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: they're othering him. And once you have that down to 150 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: your bones, then you can't be argued off of it 151 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 3: on the basis of me saying they torture and then 152 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 3: kill anybody who's gay or transgender because I'm a Westerner 153 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 3: trying to lie to them using my narrative. 154 00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 4: So they don't believe that jihadis would murder gay people, 155 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 4: or they think jihadis only murdered gay people because of 156 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 4: the position we've put them in. 157 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, indirectly, Yeah, the first part, one hundred percent. 158 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 3: And or we have so dominated them and crushed their 159 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: spirits and oppressed them that they're acting out in ways 160 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 3: that they won't anymore when the enlightenment comes, when the 161 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 3: Marxist revolution comes. I mean, like excusing the crimes of 162 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 3: October seventh. You saw that directly. Look, they're under oppression. 163 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: What do you expect them to do? 164 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, and I don't. 165 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 3: Believe they raped and killed babies. No, they just fought 166 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 3: back against the oppressor self solution. 167 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 4: That's a scary thing to be up against. There's way 168 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: too many people to believe it. 169 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: Oh, and they're in our schools, folks, our elementary schools, 170 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 3: our high schools, and our colleges and our grad schools. 171 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: That is one of the dominant philosophies, if not the 172 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 3: dominant philosophy in our educational complex.
