• 0:20
  Speaker 2: My brother of forty eight years. The amazing defense attorney
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Joseph Takapino represented President Trump in that Egene Carol case
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: and all the well the prosecution wanted was right. That's it,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: That's all they wanted. And Joe did such a great job.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Great job.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: They didn't get it. They didn't get it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Now, look, when you sit down in front of a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: jury in the box there they have like a list, literally,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: there's a list. And if you don't get the first
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: chargers what they always want, there's a number two, one,
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: number three in a before.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: So they picked a different charge.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, he wasn't going to walk out unscathed, not in
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: a New York court, but that jury and Judge Kaplan.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: You knew that. But the rape charge that's gone.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: You can't call Trump a rapist when you do that
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: like George Stephanopolis, you got to pay Trump fifteen million dollars,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: thank you, Nancy Mace.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: And that was because the tack of penis hard work.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: So now this Egene Carroll sued him civilly, I guess
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: and eighty three million dollars and the judge said, nah, nah,
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: you no, you're.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Not getting paid that because you're a liar.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So I had to play that, Joe, because hey, the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: guy was really funny. But b I just want to
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: give you the credit because you can never call President
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Trump a rapist because of you.
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: That's right. And they tried, I mean, eg And Carroll
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: said in her testimony fifty two times the word rape.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: In their exposing argument. Egen Carroll's attorneys used a rape
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: word thirty three times. Okay, So rape was the whole
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: theme of this trial. And you had a New York
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: jury who you know, at the time, President Trump was
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: not upler New York and par still isn't right, So
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: so you know, it was a really difficult, you know battle,
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: and then you had a judge who was a Clinton
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: appointee who clearly hated President Trump. He made it clear,
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: I mean it was there was always fans or bus
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: about it, right. So so it was one of the
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: most stacked court room proceedings I've ever been involved in.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And we still beat the rape because, honestly, if you
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: look at the cross examination that I did, it be
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Jene Carroll. We annihilated her, annihilated her credibility and and
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: you know, at the end of the day, that's what
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: it comes down through. So, yeah, the jury gave her
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: some lesser included some sexual abuses. It's on the list,
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: something right right, and defamation and don't forget you know,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: by the way, the eighty three million dollars was not
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: for rape. There was no rape, right, It was for defamation.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: That was the second trial. I didn't try that alnahamma did.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: That was an eighty three million dollar award for defamation
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: for political rhetoric that was always going to face intense
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: cons social scrutiny. I never knew that. I never thought
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: eighty three million dollars was going to stand up. Listen,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: here's how bad that was. They asked for twenty four
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: million dollars to the jury. Okay, the jury came back to, naw,
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: we're not gonna be a twenty four million. We'll give
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: you eighty three million. I've never heard that in my life.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: That's cue where a jury came back and basically, you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: gave three plus x of what the plank was asking
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: for in damages.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Well that's New York and that reminds me of like
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Letitia James in that case. I know you didn't do
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that when he did the Alvin Bray case, but same
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: type of thing.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Like in New York.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: They just they keep raising the money to ridiculous numbers.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah, look that's what the pell courts are. Fore, those
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: said right to stop this politically and emotionally charged verdicts
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: from steamrolling fundamental fairness of hot social protections. Look, you
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: can't have adjust the system where emotion replaces evidence and
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: punishment replaces proportionality. The First Amendment doesn't disappear because defend
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: his name of Donald Trump and understand what he was
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: what he was clipped for for eighty three million dollars
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: for denying an allegation of rape. Okay, that was the defamation.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: So it was insane to me that this verdict was given.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: And again this was not my trial, but it was
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: still it was sickening and it was hard to watch.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: But look to me, the birdic looked more like social
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: really from the juris standpoint, like I said, sidal punishment
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: and measured legal compensation. Really, and that's what American the
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: appeal sports for. When when when trials risk becoming emotional
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: spectacles instead of discipline legal proceedings, I'm tet, of course
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: supposed to step in and saying, Nah, not so fast,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: that's not gonna happen here.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: You know, It's funny. I was thinking about you this morning.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I remember, for some reason, I was at the doctor
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: maybe with Ava and Danielle in New Jersey, and I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: was standing in the parking lot.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: They wanted to leave, and I was talking.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: To you, And it was when Trump was campaigning, right,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and we were talking about, oh my god, the Bragg
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: trial is out there, the James trial is out there.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Here's this clown Smith who's you know, sewing them in
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: just about every blue state across the country. Egene Carroll
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: is out there, and we're trying to figure out the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: not only how he's gonna win, but how he's going
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: to stay out of jail. I mean, that was a
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: concern for some attorneys at one point. I never thought
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that would be the case. But it was a concern.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: You'll look back at those conversations Joseph and what these
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: animals will he try to do? And where he is
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: today pretty remarkable.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Yes, Oh it's it's Beyonce. He's extraterrestrial, like seriously, he
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: has he has nine lives. That look, he got indicted
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: four times, not not charge, not sued, indicted to it,
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: four times in one year. As I said to you
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: in the past, give me the foe most notorious criminals
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: in history, John Dillinger, Pablo Escobar.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Doddy get John Gotti, Dotty.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Any of them. None of them were indicted four times.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: To I don't think.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I don't think even Pablo. I don't think any of
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: them are even indicted more than once. Maybe John Gotti,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: that's it.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: And but four times in one year. I mean, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: know again, that's why, that's why we really have to
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: be careful. And I've always said is when I was
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: representing the president, I was on you know, your show
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: in the morning, Hannity at night, Mark Lemon, all these
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: different shows. Right, the legal principles here affect every American.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Forget whether you're blue or your red. If constitutional safeguards
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: are road for one unpopular defendant if he's not your
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: candidate of choice. They rode for everyone. And that's what
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: was so scary to me to watch all that stuff
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: go down. I mean, indictments that were based on I
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: mean the brand case, that indictment that the Stormy Daniel's
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: nonsense was seriously the most convoluted criminal case I've ever
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: seen that was based on no criminal conduct, no criminal conduct,
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: and somehow still a jury came back and convict them
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: of thirty four counts. It was unbelievable to me. I mean,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: he did nothing, There was nothing that was done wrong there.
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: I promise you it was a personal civil settlement with
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: personal money, not campaign funds. Not you know, if he
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: paid with that money with campaign funds, they would be
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: baying for his scalp. That would be a campaign finance crimes.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: But he did nothing wrong. And yet still that we're
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: bringing charges left and right against him, and look where
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: he is. It's just it's something else. But look again,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: this is the appeals courts. Action here today or yesterday
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: with President Trump, reinforces that basic principle that these massive
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: verdicts in these politically charged cases must still comply with
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: the constitutional protections proportionality and fairness, right, and that's not politics,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: that's the rule of law. So he's going to refine.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I knew who's going to be fine. I didn't ever
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: think he was paying that eighty three million. And if
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: someone else wants to call him a rapist again, they
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: could pay fifteen million dollars also, but.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: They will do it. They don't care. There's such there's cycles.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: It's happened two or three times, not just Stepan Hoplis
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: where they just don't care. Then they'll call them at
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: ten times two in one segment.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: But they just I mean, look, they wanted more than
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: anything in the world to be able to say President
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Trump is a rapist, rapist, rapist. They wanted that red
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: ink end of the world headline on every page, right,
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: So they can't do it. They can't.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: They can't do it.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's you about to text him this morning. I
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: know we well, actually he's on a plane right now
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: coming back from China. Would have and Crowley, you know
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: those people.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: So I set to myself and to you. We had
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: this conversation too.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: It'll only be right if Joe Tacopina, the greatest defense
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: attorney in the world, represented he's represented Trump. Now he's
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: got to do bebe right because despite all the hate
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: that goes around, because we are surrounded by vicious anti Semites,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and the best is when they may try to tell
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: you they're not. I love that vicious anti Semites surrounded
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: by him. So here's Takapina wunning to the rescue. Hey,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: I got two trials for Trump. I want them both,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: and here comes bebe. This one is this one is
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: really special. So the New York Times, this guy chrissed Off,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: who's actually won two Bulletzer Prize awards. Okay, this is
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: not some rookie. This is not some kid just starting out.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: This is a world renowned, award winning writer for the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: New York Times, which at this point is like Doctor SEUs.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: It's all fiction, and he writes his story. You can't
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: make this up. This is when you know how sick
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: people are that the Israelis are training dogs. Listen carefully, folks. Okay,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: some of you WENTI Semites out there. The Israelis are
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: training dogs to rape Palestinians. Yeah, that's the story. And
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: this idiot, Christoph so Bb says, I'm so happy about this.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: We're gonna sue the pants of the New York Times.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Me Israel and to me, based upon your great success
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: with Trump and everybody else, you win every time.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: You'd be the perfect attorney for BBI and Israel.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Oh. I would love this case. I would love this
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: case because if you're gonna accuse the army of a
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: democratic ally of systematic rape, torture barbarias, you better have
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: evidence beyond politically charge anecdotes, because that's all they have here.
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: They really, the Times really lost their mind here. They
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: crossed the line from aggressive journalism into actionable defamation. It's defamation,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: and the lawsuit is just not to attack on free speech.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: It's to the man for accountability. And this has to
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: be brought. It has to be because you know, again
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: they clearly didn't investigate anything. And let me tell you something,
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: the more explosive the accusation, the higher the journalistic duty
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: is to verify it. Okay, that's the law. So you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: not talking about ordinary criticism of military policy. You're not
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: talking about accusations that the Israeli soldiers did were rough
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: and handling the prisoners. You're talking about accusation as Raeli
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: soldiers claimed those to sexually assault prisoners and engage in
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: systematic rate. Those allegations are so shocking, right, and reputation
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: destroying that any any weakness in sourcing becomes a major
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: problem for the New York Times. And I'll tell you something,
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: they are going to have a problem here because you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: I will tell you there's a standard called actual malice
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: or reckless disregard. From my understanding, their source is is
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: someone who basically had a bias. It was aligned with
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: the Palestinians, right, and and there was no evidence. He
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: just said something as a okay, they bet. You have
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: to when you have an allegation of this nature, you
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: must you have to verify it once, twice and three
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: times over. So you know, I swear, I mean this
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: New York Times is in trouble. When I first looked
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: at this, these facts and these allegations, said, I was astonished.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: I really was astonished. Oh real. And then you look
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: at the timing of it. You know, the timing of
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: it was also weird, right. I think that matters politically
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and legally that the Israeli officers that the piece was
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: really published right before reports detailing the Hamas sexual atrocities
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: from October seventh. That's right, allegedly creating a false moral
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: equivalence between Hamas terrorist and Israeli soldiers.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: And the Hammas story was on homos actually made their
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: hostages family members have sex with each other, not what
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: I believe, not so much the dogs.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: But let me with some history of Joseph. I know
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: you know this, but for the audience out.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: There, during Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, World War two, the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: New York Times, Great New York Times, they did a
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: lot of stories on World War Two, about two, on
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the Jews being exterminated, about two. That's about it. Then
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: years ago, I'll tell you, Joseph, when I started to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: become a legitimate news guy, because I really was.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I came here was a sports guy.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: I was going to the gym one afternoon and I
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: got a call from Dove hike in or I forget
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: who it was, and they said, listen, we're having a
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: rally outside the New York Times building.
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: We want you to come and speak. So I go
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: to Danielle. This is years ago. I go, I gotta
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: go to the gym. She goes Sydney City, Sidney. Why
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: why they're having a rally?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Well, because there was a cartoon in the New York
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Times that depicted Donald Trump and Bib Netanyahu. But Trump
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: was walking Bb that may have been vice versa as
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: a dog, literally on four legs with a leash. So
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: they were calling the President and Bib the like they're
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: walking a dog, you know, which is really really sick
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: and twisted antisemitic. She said, Sydney, you can't go to
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: the gym. They asked you to come. I said, Dee,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: come on, man, I'm tired, you know, Okay, fine. I
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: fought her for a while. I went and it turned
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: out to be a great event. Don't Hiken was there,
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Like I said, That's where I met Alan Dershowitz and
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: many other Jewish fighters, And that was kind of the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: beginning of when people started to take me seriously as
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: a voice for the Jewish community. I gotta thank Danielle
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: for making me.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Go that day.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: But this dates back Joseph seven eight years ago anti
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Smitic cartoons, and again back to Nazi Germany not even
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: talking about the Jews six million being exterminated. So this
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: is nothing new. The New York Times has always been,
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: has always been a treasure for the anti semi.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and well, I'll tell you, whatever line they crossed
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: here is unimaginable. I mean, the New York Times took
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: one of the oldest anti Semitic smears in history, that
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: blood libel smear, and repassed it as mountain journalism. And
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: when you choose soldiers of barbaric sexual crisis without air
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: type proof, and said, I mean air type proof, you're
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: not informing the public, you're inflaming the world. And so
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: this wasn't some you know again, nuanced policecret teeth. This
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: was reputational napalm dropped on Israel and the Jewish people.
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: And this has to be accounted for and they have
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: to be responsible for what they did here because the
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: allegations are false and they were published recklessly. The damage
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: is irrevers Well, you can't ring this bell, and the
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: Times know exactly what global reaction to these accusations would trigger, Okay,
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: and they publish them anyway. So I am ready willing
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: and able because I think this case is going to
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: be a slam dunk, and it's an important case in
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: history because it really has to put the media back
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: into a place where you know, journalistic integrity matters, Okay,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: And and this is so important. It's not just you know,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: uh being opinionated. This is not opinion. This was factual reporting.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: So I just hard to believe. But honestly this is
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: something that honestly, this is a moral demonestation. Mess wearing
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: is reporting and I I just can't. I can't take it.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: So if you're gonna excuse I'll say this in portiand
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: and to BB nettan Yahoo. If you're gonna accuse Israeli
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: soldiers of medieval style atrocities, you better have evidence beyond activism,
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: outrage or these anonymous narratives, because once those accusations sit
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: the front pages of New York Times, the damage to
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: Israel and the Jews worldwide is imminent and permanent. And said,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: I'm ready to take their heads off.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm so proud of you. I thought
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I couldn't love you anymore than I did, but now
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I love you even more. And I'm sending this tape
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: to see you know, to David Mencia today. He works
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: with BB every day. I'm going to see BB in
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Israel in a couple of weeks. We speaking at the
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: same summit on June eighteenth. But I'm sending this tape
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: to to bb because I want him to win. I
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: want the New York Times to finally get their airs
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: is kicked. And there's no better attorney in the world
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: than you. So this is well, this makes me excited.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I'm looking forward to again this time.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: And you know you talk about they got to prove
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: this stuff. You know, one last thing, Hammas, for all
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: these Tucker calls and morons out there, you know what
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: they do. They set up their headquarters. Let me pay attention.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You know this, okay. They set up their headquarters in
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: nursery schools, They set up their headquarters in hospitals.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: They set up.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Their headquarters in places where the last thing you want
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: to see.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: Is anybody die. And why do they do that?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: A because they think they're picking out the Israelis, but
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: we've got great intelligence. And b because when Israel drops
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: a bomb on a hospital, and yes, some Palestan civilians
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: will die poly cities, that's where Hamas is. So then
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: they can tell the world that the Israelis are genocidal
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and they're killing in us in people We're not.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: We never have. So that is the.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Other narrative that the world has gladly accepted. They run
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: with it, they love it because again it has become
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: very very chic, very chak to hate the Jewish people
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: all over the world, especially bib But they purposely set
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: up in these venues, so Israel looks like they're out
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: killing people in a hospital.
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: Now, they're not your dumb bastards. You know this, right, of.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: Course, of course, absolutely. Look, it's so this is war
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: and when the when the terrorists, because Hamas is in
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: a group of war fires, they're terrorists right when they
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: when they disguise themselves as civilians where they infiltrate civilian
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: areas to hide there, you know, they're the ones who
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: are putting civilians at risk. They're the ones who are
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: doing it. So, I mean, it's it's it's outrageous. And yes,
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: the critics who attack Israel for that are so one
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: sided and clearly clearly anti Israel. One to call anti Semits,
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, but but I mean, you know,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: it's just unbelievable and it's it's really again back to
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: this case, I'm just I'm Libby asked by said, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: I've read that article twice, okay, that was published and
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: I cannot believe that that was written. I can't believe that.
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: Not one editor at the New York Times said, hold
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: one hundred second, but hold on a second. Do we
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: have verifiable evidence? Because when you have an extraordinary accusation,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: an explosive accusation, that's going to look to say around
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: the world, do you must you must have extraordinary verification,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: and especially in a war fueled by propaganda.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: And the fact that they didn't is to me. It's
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: a game, set and match, and the different times we're coming.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: You're good good. I'm that serious when I tell you that.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: You know, I know everybody in and around BB and BB,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: so I'm gonna make it their business to know that
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you want to do this, because there's no.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: Better attorney in the world not to see that at State.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: So well, we'll get on this and you'll save Trump
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and Bby and Israel all in all in a couple
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: of years.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: That's pretty good work, Joe. You'll be happy to have this.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: On the way out.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I am going to the Met Yankee game tonight, but
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I'm sitting with Met owner Steve Cohen in his suite.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: He invited me, and we're going to talk about some things. How,
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: I think the Mets can improve their public image because
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: they have some issues. Whether you like it or not,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: they do. So I am going to the house that
• 18:57

• 19:06
  Speaker 4: there because it's so easy to be a Yankee fan,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: right an evil empire, yeah, I mean they throw money.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: The Met fans, you build character And I told you
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: this as being a Met fan said, we we developed
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: the ability to lose and still move on. And that's
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: what being a Met fans all about.
