Two Years Later: What the World Refuses to Learn from October 7 | Yaron Brook Show · Yaron Brook Show

0:05
Speaker 1: A lot of them, fundamental Cristals, I loved lats and
0:13
Speaker 1: any individual loss. This is the show. Oh right, everybody,
0:24
Speaker 1: welcome to your one book show on this Tuesday, October seventh.
0:29
Speaker 1: October seventh, two years since the massacre. All right, so
0:36
Speaker 1: we're gonna be talking about October seventh. We're going to
0:38
Speaker 1: talk about what happened over the last two years. It's meaning,
0:42
Speaker 1: its significance. I know I've covered this for two years now.
0:47
Speaker 1: Literally in October seventh, twenty twenty three, I went live
0:51
Speaker 1: as soon as I heard what was happening, although I
0:54
Speaker 1: think at that point had no real sense of the
0:57
Speaker 1: magnitude of what was happening. That took days to really
1:02
Speaker 1: to really realize what was going on. But since then
1:07
Speaker 1: we on the Iran Book Show, I've I've gone live
1:12
Speaker 1: with breaking news as Israel has been bombed by Iran,
1:21
Speaker 1: as Israel has bombed Iran, as was broken out across him.
1:24
Speaker 1: At least I've covered it here and and you know,
1:29
Speaker 1: you've kind of heard it all for me.
1:31
Speaker 2: So I'm not going to try to recreate all of that.
1:36
Speaker 1: We're going to try to draw kind of the big lessons,
1:40
Speaker 1: try to look at what can we learn from the
1:42
Speaker 1: last two years and the big scope of things, uh,
1:46
Speaker 1: and what is what does the future look like? As
1:50
Speaker 1: we speak, negotiators for Israel and some islamis states and
2:00
Speaker 1: and Ramas meeting in Charle Micheer, Egypt, and I guess
2:05
Speaker 1: negotiating a some kind of resolution to the war in Gaza.
2:13
Speaker 1: It's it's ironic or I'm not to what exactly the
2:16
Speaker 1: term should be. But well we'll talk about that. You
2:22
Speaker 1: know what what is what is actually being negotiated and
2:27
Speaker 1: and what should be the way in which all of
2:29
Speaker 1: this gets gets resolved. Of course, if you have any questions,
2:36
Speaker 1: the super chat is available. You can ask anything about anything,
2:39
Speaker 1: but including about this. You can also, of course support
2:45
Speaker 1: the show. This is a show that is supported.
2:49
Speaker 2: From with contributions from you.
2:52
Speaker 1: There's no other source. You guys make it, make it possible,
2:58
Speaker 1: and so I encourage you to support the show. If
3:04
Speaker 1: you value what I've been doing over the last two
3:06
Speaker 1: years in covering the events post October seventh, please you know,
3:14
Speaker 1: support the show today to show the value that you
3:19
Speaker 1: place on it. Value for value, I do my thing.
3:23
Speaker 1: You listen, you watch, many of you support, some of
3:28
Speaker 1: you not. Yet we're getting you there, all right, says
3:34
Speaker 1: we all know, you know. October seventh, two years ago,
3:37
Speaker 1: started at six thirty am in Israel with basically hordes
3:44
Speaker 1: of Palestinians crossing the border into Israel in trucks, on
3:51
Speaker 1: motorcycles and in paraguliders. They attacked some military bases along
3:59
Speaker 1: the along the border, but mainly their attacks focused on
4:04
Speaker 1: villages on keep Ut Seem close to the close to
4:08
Speaker 1: the border, including a small city still Ort just two
4:12
Speaker 1: kilometers from the border with Gaza, killing as many people
4:17
Speaker 1: as they could, taking as many hostages as they could, slaughtering, butchering, raping.
4:22
Speaker 1: Maybe the most horrific scenes or some of the most
4:26
Speaker 1: horrific scenes of horrific scenes everywhere. Well from the music festival,
4:31
Speaker 1: there was happening kind of in the middle of the desert,
4:33
Speaker 1: not far from the border with Gaza, where hundreds of
4:38
Speaker 1: Israeli young Israelis were partying, and where as the sun
4:44
Speaker 1: came up and the celebrations were ongoing, paragliders were seen
4:52
Speaker 1: in the sky. They landed, and we've all seen the
4:56
Speaker 1: scenes of just butchery, slaughter, rape, torture that ensued. The
5:07
Speaker 1: savagery that day I think is unique in modern times
5:12
Speaker 1: in the sense that I mean, this is the kind
5:15
Speaker 1: of savagery that human beings have been engaged in against
5:19
Speaker 1: one another since the beginning of time. This is the
5:23
Speaker 1: way wars used to be fought, This is the way
5:27
Speaker 1: people behave towards one another in past centuries. There's nothing
5:34
Speaker 1: in essence, there was nothing unique here. But what was
5:36
Speaker 1: unique is that this is the twenty first century. And
5:40
Speaker 1: not only is this the twenty first century, this is
5:43
Speaker 1: all filmed, documented were twenty first century tools. I think
5:51
Speaker 1: this is the first time people in the West were
5:55
Speaker 1: exposed directly, visually, viscually to the kind of barbarism, of
6:04
Speaker 1: barbarism again that has been part of human existence, human
6:07
Speaker 1: life since the beginning of humanity, but here it was
6:14
Speaker 1: broadcast of the world. Here it was people who thought
6:17
Speaker 1: we now lived in a civilized era, sitting at home
6:21
Speaker 1: on the internet on their phones what's happening or whatever,
6:27
Speaker 1: and flooded with images of rape, torture, murder, slaughter, just
6:34
Speaker 1: the worst kind of barbarism that I think many of
6:36
Speaker 1: us thought we had left in. Suddenly decades in the
6:40
Speaker 1: past and centuries in our past, and you know what
6:47
Speaker 1: you got was not just the rape and torture and
6:52
Speaker 1: horrors of the killing, but you got the responses of
6:57
Speaker 1: the people doing it in real time. The glee, the pride,
7:03
Speaker 1: the joy, the satisfaction that these monsters took with what
7:11
Speaker 1: they were doing. They were enjoying this, they were relishing this.
7:16
Speaker 1: This was them acting out virtue. I mean, there's the
7:25
Speaker 1: famous phone call of the guy saying, hey, mom, dad,
7:29
Speaker 1: I killed ten Jews today, and the father expressing pride
7:33
Speaker 1: in his son, and go to What's up And you
7:35
Speaker 1: can see the videos what ex Ober seventh really demonstrated.
7:45
Speaker 1: And you know, and you saw this in the in
7:48
Speaker 1: the well come home that many of these people got
7:54
Speaker 1: when they went back into Gaza with the hostages, thousands
7:57
Speaker 1: of people out in the streets, tens of thousands of
8:00
Speaker 1: people out in the streets and a number of different
8:02
Speaker 1: locations in Gaza celebrating, chewing, real joy and happiness being
8:09
Speaker 1: expressed across the Gaza Strip among Palestinians. And remember that
8:16
Speaker 1: the killing, the rape, the slaughter, the butchery was not
8:21
Speaker 1: committed by Ramas Hamas led it inspired it promoted it
8:26
Speaker 1: Tramas and Islami Jihad and the other servist organizations. But
8:31
Speaker 1: much of the killing and the rape and the pillaging
8:33
Speaker 1: and the torture was done by just regular people who
8:36
Speaker 1: came along for the ride. They had heard that the
8:41
Speaker 1: morning had been successful, and by afternoon they were pouring
8:44
Speaker 1: across the border to go join in. The quote fun
8:51
Speaker 1: or October seventh illustrated, and anybody who doesn't get this
8:55
Speaker 1: out of October seventh is blind and has blinded themselves.
9:02
Speaker 1: Is the nihilism, the share evil, evil that so many
9:11
Speaker 1: Palestinians exhibited, the share evil and nihilism that is the
9:18
Speaker 1: heart of the Palestinian cause. The Palestinian cause is not
9:25
Speaker 1: about a Palestinian state. The Palestinian cause is not about
9:31
Speaker 1: some kind of dignity to the Palestinian people. The Palestinian
9:36
Speaker 1: cause is the cause of destruction, destroying Israel, killing as
9:45
Speaker 1: many Jews as possible, driving them into the sea. It
9:51
Speaker 1: is about rape and pillage and murder and destruction. It
9:58
Speaker 1: is a nihilistic cause. That is its fundamental nature. It
10:02
Speaker 1: is a hatred driven by absolute hatred in the name
10:08
Speaker 1: of It doesn't really matter Islam rivet to the sea,
10:13
Speaker 1: and of course river to the sea means know Israel.
10:18
Speaker 1: And it's not that they are driven by some postcolonial,
10:23
Speaker 1: colonial settler ideology. They don't know any of that Western
10:29
Speaker 1: BS terminology. They are driven by a religion and an
10:37
Speaker 1: ideology of sheer hatred. It has nothing positive but their
10:45
Speaker 1: own fate, their own lives, their own success, nothing. It
10:50
Speaker 1: is motivated exclusively by hatred of the enemy, motivated exclusively
10:57
Speaker 1: by the desire to destroy, by the desire to rape,
11:00
Speaker 1: by the desire to pillage, by the desire to kill.
11:07
Speaker 1: And that's what they did at the music festival. They
11:09
Speaker 1: murdered close to five hundred people, all young kids, the
11:19
Speaker 1: teens and the twenties. So what should have happened after
11:32
Speaker 1: October seventh is.
11:34
Speaker 2: That the world should have woken up.
11:38
Speaker 1: To the true nature of the Palestinians, of what they've
11:44
Speaker 1: been taught, what they've studied, what they believe in, what
11:50
Speaker 1: motivates them to action. That the worst type of jihadis
11:55
Speaker 1: the worst type of terrorists. But it's not just a
11:58
Speaker 1: few hundreds of them, thousands of them, tens of thousands
12:02
Speaker 1: of them. What should have happened was that the West
12:15
Speaker 1: should have come to realization that this cause that the
12:20
Speaker 1: West had been supporting for decades, this cause was ultimately
12:26
Speaker 1: an evil cause and even if there was something there
12:31
Speaker 1: somewhere in its history, and it being so perverted, so distorted,
12:37
Speaker 1: so dominated by even nihilists, by Islamists who came more
12:44
Speaker 1: about killing than about living, that the West should have
12:53
Speaker 1: withdrawn all support from the Palestinians immediately, from the Palestinian cause,
13:00
Speaker 1: from Palestinian statehood, and told Israel, encouraged Israel to crush
13:12
Speaker 1: the Palestinians, to defeat.
13:15
Speaker 3: Them, to eliminate this nihilistic ideology from amongst them.
13:26
Speaker 1: But that, of course, is not what happened. I mean,
13:32
Speaker 1: equal to the shock what literally happen on October seventh,
13:39
Speaker 1: the savagery of it. Equal to that is the immediate
13:44
Speaker 1: response in the immediate aftermath of October seventh in the West,
13:54
Speaker 1: and primarily at universities across the West, I mean, at
14:01
Speaker 1: Harvard University, twenty student organistas with sorry thirty it was
14:04
Speaker 1: a thirty country on how many student organizations Twenty or
14:08
Speaker 1: thirty student organizations put out a letter on October eighth,
14:16
Speaker 1: after seeing what had happened, it's support of Ramas, its
14:22
Speaker 1: support of the Palestinians. It was followed by professors at
14:33
Speaker 1: universities across the country expressing support for what they had
14:36
Speaker 1: just seen now, of course, with the whole theoretical baggage
14:42
Speaker 1: that they brought to the analysis of the situation to
14:46
Speaker 1: justify barbarism and slaughter. It was followed by student demonstrations,
14:53
Speaker 1: not against the Palestinians, not in support of Israel, not
14:58
Speaker 1: to in support of the elimination of this nihilistic evil,
15:09
Speaker 1: but it's support of the nihilism, its support of the slaughter,
15:15
Speaker 1: and in opposition to Israel. I mean, the left, basically
15:25
Speaker 1: the progressive left, the fall left lust all credibility. I mean,
15:33
Speaker 1: maybe maybe you know, Woke peaked and DEI is in
15:38
Speaker 1: decline and ESG is in decline. But the left just
15:47
Speaker 1: committed itself to the Palestinian cause, rallied around the Palestinian
15:52
Speaker 1: cause in spite of what happened in October seventh. Maybe
15:55
Speaker 1: because of what happened on October seventh they viewed as
15:59
Speaker 1: as an inspiration.
16:01
Speaker 2: Is double down on the cause. Double down.
16:05
Speaker 1: On these views h and has.
16:19
Speaker 2: Completely lost touch with life.
16:24
Speaker 1: And and and UH and and anything anything positive in
16:28
Speaker 1: the world. And by doubling down on the Palestinian cause
16:32
Speaker 1: has basically embraced nihilism as the ultimate goal. The left
16:39
Speaker 1: has revealed itself for what it really is, the nihilistic core.
16:45
Speaker 2: At its root. And you can add to the left.
16:48
Speaker 1: Because at the end of the day, they are the left,
16:52
Speaker 1: you know, the the anarchist libertarians who who just drip
16:56
Speaker 1: with nihilistic hatred of Israel. It's just not even they
17:01
Speaker 1: are so they despise Israel so much. I mean, so,
17:12
Speaker 1: you know, the left has revealed itself and it's it's
17:16
Speaker 1: you know, the position in Israel beyond anything else is
17:22
Speaker 1: you know, beyond redemption. It is completely insane. It is
17:29
Speaker 1: completely insane. I mean some well honest some so what
17:36
Speaker 1: happened and became realized that their progressive friends were insane
17:43
Speaker 1: supporting an evil ideology and and and became strong advocates
17:50
Speaker 1: of Israel's right to defend itself and protect itself. But
17:57
Speaker 1: so many and it's only grown. Right for the Palestinians
18:01
Speaker 1: has only grown over the last two years. It's only increased.
18:14
Speaker 1: It's only increased the longer this war has lasted, the
18:20
Speaker 1: more Israel acts to defend itself, in spite of the
18:23
Speaker 1: fact that no army has ever fought a war in
18:28
Speaker 1: a built up in a built up area with fewer
18:35
Speaker 1: civilian casualties. As this war, Israel is blamed for every casualty,
18:41
Speaker 1: It's accused of genocide, it's accused of the most horrific crimes,
18:48
Speaker 1: when it is the victim defending itself and doing much
18:53
Speaker 1: more than it should, much more than is rational, much
18:58
Speaker 1: more than is mael, to try to protect the civilian
19:01
Speaker 1: population of Gaza. Remember the civilian population of Gaza that's
19:05
Speaker 1: celebrated the slaughter, that celebrated the hostage taking, and that
19:14
Speaker 1: is shield the hostage take cares for two years. That
19:20
Speaker 1: is the civilian population that could have helped end this
19:23
Speaker 1: war months and months and months ago, but instead has
19:30
Speaker 1: chosen to stay loyal to Hamas, to stick with them,
19:36
Speaker 1: to stick with their representatives. But people can't see that.
19:47
Speaker 1: Over the last two years, we've seen the Left become
19:50
Speaker 1: more and more anti Israel. You've seen the Center become
19:53
Speaker 1: more and more anti Israel. You've seen governments all over
19:56
Speaker 1: Europe become more and more anti Israel, to the point
19:59
Speaker 1: where where in honor, I guess, in recognition of October seventh,
20:08
Speaker 1: political leaders of Western countries and now recognizing a Palestinian state,
20:13
Speaker 1: to reward the Palestinians for their courage and bravery and
20:17
Speaker 1: slaughtering Jews. From day one, Western political classes have basically
20:27
Speaker 1: exhibited unbelievable tolerance towards Muslim demonstrators and rioters who have
20:39
Speaker 1: come to the streets of the West celebrating the lolistic
20:44
Speaker 1: barbarism of October seventh. And instead of viewing this with
20:51
Speaker 1: horror and fear and reevaluating what they are doing and
20:56
Speaker 1: their approach to the Muslim to the Muslims among them,
21:01
Speaker 1: and to what being taught at the universities, most Western
21:05
Speaker 1: countries have taken this with you know, a shrug and
21:09
Speaker 1: mostly tilting towards the demonstrators and appeasing them. So instead
21:24
Speaker 1: of condemning these demonstrations, condemning these mobs, the West has
21:29
Speaker 1: appeased them. Recognizing a Palestinian state is nothing but appeasing
21:35
Speaker 1: the mobs who support October seventh. So the response in
21:41
Speaker 1: the West has been by the political class, by the elites,
21:44
Speaker 1: by the people in power, has been a slow drift.
21:50
Speaker 1: If it started out as being supportive of Israel, it's
21:53
Speaker 1: been a stow but steady, consistent drift away from Israel
21:58
Speaker 1: in support of the barbarian Wow. At the same time,
22:05
Speaker 1: the barbarians are in their midst. Barbarians are right there.
22:10
Speaker 1: They're in the streets of most Western countries. They're in
22:14
Speaker 1: the streets of the capitals, warning them, telling them what's coming,
22:23
Speaker 1: and the West chooses to ignore the threat coming from
22:28
Speaker 1: the slamest hordes. The right started out in support of Israel,
22:40
Speaker 1: but just like the left, and just like the people
22:43
Speaker 1: in power, the right is slowly systematically drifted away just
22:51
Speaker 1: to the way from Israel, and even the people who
22:55
Speaker 1: still nominally support Israel, Donald Trump, for example, do not
23:01
Speaker 1: support it fully, do not support the aim on not
23:07
Speaker 1: embracing a solution. I mean the common peace negotiations going
23:14
Speaker 1: on in charl Micher, negotiations, of appeasement, of compromise, of
23:20
Speaker 1: selling out, of emboldening the Islamists. Isauela one has won
23:26
Speaker 1: an amazing military victory, primarily in Lebanon, Syria, and he won,
23:34
Speaker 1: and yet it is asked to accommodate the worst elements
23:44
Speaker 1: in the ISLAMI the worst elements in the Islamist world,
23:48
Speaker 1: to forgive ramas, to give them amnesty, to allow them
23:53
Speaker 1: to continue to live.
23:57
Speaker 2: There will be people if this steal that.
24:01
Speaker 1: Donald Trump wants is allowed to is allowed to is
24:05
Speaker 1: actually a signed, which I doubt it's going to happen,
24:08
Speaker 1: but if it is, there will be rapists and murderers
24:14
Speaker 1: who are going to say, okay, I give them up
24:17
Speaker 1: my arms for now, and are going to be allowed
24:21
Speaker 1: to walk free. And at the same time it is
24:27
Speaker 1: expected to release it's already released hundreds hundreds of murderers,
24:32
Speaker 1: is expected to release some of the worst murderers in
24:36
Speaker 1: Israeli history.
24:38
Speaker 2: And replenish the.
24:42
Speaker 1: Numbers among the terrorists and the murderers and the nihilists,
24:49
Speaker 1: replenish them with fresh blood straight up Israeli prisons. This
24:55
Speaker 1: is the deal the peace maker Donald Trump has come
24:58
Speaker 1: up with. And of course what we've seen is just
25:07
Speaker 1: the sheer antisemitism of some on the right, and the
25:13
Speaker 1: extent of it. Israel is a focal point now of
25:17
Speaker 1: that anti semitism, whether it's on the libertarian right left
25:20
Speaker 1: I don't know what to call them, or on the
25:23
Speaker 1: Tucker calceron Candice Ow and right on the Magga right.
25:28
Speaker 1: There's always been elements of anti Semitism on the right,
25:33
Speaker 1: but it is blossomed and flourished and grown and expanded
25:39
Speaker 1: using Israel as an excuse. Sober seventh is now brought
25:46
Speaker 1: forward the anti Semitic left, the anti Semitic right, and
25:50
Speaker 1: the appeasing middle, and that is the West. The West
25:55
Speaker 1: today is composed and an anti Semitic left, anti Semitic right,
25:59
Speaker 1: and I'm middle that is eager to appease. There are
26:03
Speaker 1: some exceptions, the Douglas Maris of the world, but they
26:06
Speaker 1: are unusual and they are rare, and they are exceptions.
26:17
Speaker 1: And of course, it seems that one emotion dominates in
26:23
Speaker 1: the West, and that is fear of Muslims. Fear is
26:29
Speaker 1: how otherwise to explain the attitude towards these demonstrations, these riots,
26:35
Speaker 1: the threats, the promises of bringing Sharia law to the West,
26:40
Speaker 1: the promises of bringing October seventh to the West. How
26:47
Speaker 1: can one explain the attitude towards Muslims in Europe? If
26:52
Speaker 1: not fear, how does one explain the attitude towards Muslims
26:57
Speaker 1: in the Middle East? The respect and the respect granted,
27:03
Speaker 1: the Katari's, yeah, buy this administration, this fact granted. The
27:10
Speaker 1: Saudi's who, Yeah, they're they're trying to become more Western. Yeah,
27:19
Speaker 1: It's still true that there was there was no free
27:24
Speaker 1: speech in these countries. There's no freedom in these countries.
27:26
Speaker 1: There's no there's there's nothing Western about these countries except
27:30
Speaker 1: for the money. I mean, Katara Yui Yui's getting the
27:38
Speaker 1: most advanced ships from Nvidio in Nvidia, as if they
27:41
Speaker 1: are best friends, as if we can trust them one hundred.
27:50
Speaker 1: The West thinks they can lie with the Muslim world
27:53
Speaker 1: and this will make it stronger. This has to make
27:57
Speaker 1: us weaker, It has to position us for a weaker
28:06
Speaker 1: with dangerous future. And yet it is these Arab countries,
28:10
Speaker 1: these Muslim countries that the Trump administration is busy trying
28:14
Speaker 1: to appease, trying to please, maybe because they gave him
28:18
Speaker 1: a four hundred million dollars, Yet I don't know. And
28:24
Speaker 1: the US, it's probably better than its Western European allies,
28:29
Speaker 1: who are just falling over each other to appear on
28:35
Speaker 1: the good side of the Muslims. Islam is not perceived
28:43
Speaker 1: as a clash of civilization and not perceived as an enemy.
28:46
Speaker 1: Islamism is not a real threat to the West, quite
28:49
Speaker 1: the country. It seems Western countries are falling over each
28:53
Speaker 1: other to appease them, to accommodate them, and instead of
28:59
Speaker 1: the Muslim will viewing the West, we have bigger weapons.
29:03
Speaker 1: We are stronger, we are richer. We in the West
29:07
Speaker 1: fear the Muslim world appeasement, appeasement, appeasement. In that sense,
29:20
Speaker 1: the world is as Christian as it comes to another cheek.
29:26
Speaker 1: Love the enemy. Yeah, they just slaughtered and butchered and
29:32
Speaker 1: and killed and and and uh and raped and pillaged. Yeah,
29:38
Speaker 1: but you have to be able to forgive them. Forgiveness, right, forgiveness.
29:43
Speaker 1: That is the key. That's what Donald Trump wants as well,
29:47
Speaker 1: to do with Ramas. Forgive, forgive. This is secularized Christianity
29:57
Speaker 1: on steroids. So Octobas eventh has revealed the West. Some
30:06
Speaker 1: of us knew this already, given the response to nine
30:10
Speaker 1: to eleven, but it's revealed of the West is weak, appeasing,
30:15
Speaker 1: and hateful, hateful towards its own Jews, towards Israel, and
30:23
Speaker 1: really it's self help hate, hatred towards itself.
30:29
Speaker 2: And again remember this is left and right.
30:34
Speaker 1: Anti Semitism is bigger now than it's been since World
30:37
Speaker 1: War Two. Hatred of Jews is bigger now than it's
30:42
Speaker 1: being since World War Two. Why because Israel is strong,
30:46
Speaker 1: Why because Israel can defend itself. Why because those Jews
30:53
Speaker 1: they're rich, and successful. How can that even be so
30:58
Speaker 1: they cannot be allowed? What about Israel since October seventh?
31:13
Speaker 1: I mean, the one thing Israel is exhibited in truly
31:18
Speaker 1: stunning fashion is current is courage and resilience and a
31:26
Speaker 1: willingness to fight gen Z.
31:31
Speaker 2: Israeli gen z. They're not go whimper in their rooms.
31:36
Speaker 1: They're not go hide in the mother's basement and play
31:39
Speaker 1: video games. They put on their uniforms and they went
31:46
Speaker 1: to fight. Some of them did not come home.
31:52
Speaker 2: I mean, Israeli military is exhibited.
31:57
Speaker 1: Brilliance and a capacity to fight, a capacity to win,
32:03
Speaker 1: a capacity to survive, in spite of what I would argue,
32:09
Speaker 1: the political machinations that undermine their abilities and just war
32:16
Speaker 1: theory dominated by again appeasement and caring more about your
32:22
Speaker 1: enemy than yourself. But Israeli young people took c up
32:32
Speaker 1: their responsibility and went eager to defeat the enemy. Now
32:42
Speaker 1: it's two years in and they haven't done it yet,
32:45
Speaker 1: although they've done a lot, but that's because the political
32:50
Speaker 1: class did not allow them to do their job. But
32:56
Speaker 1: it's only in spite of war for two years, in
32:59
Speaker 1: spite of the fact that the Israeli military is the
33:01
Speaker 1: large extent composed of reservists who have to leave their work,
33:06
Speaker 1: so they're not productive, they're not producing. Israel has survived this,
33:14
Speaker 1: Its economy has survived, its military has thrived, and it
33:19
Speaker 1: is It has reshaped the Middle East. It is defeated
33:25
Speaker 1: Risbella in Leven and in a way none of us imagined.
33:30
Speaker 1: I certainly didn't. I always knew is Or could easily
33:36
Speaker 1: defeat Risbela. I said this in the days after October seventh,
33:40
Speaker 1: that they should open a second front and take out
33:43
Speaker 1: Risbela immediately. It took them longer than I would have liked,
33:46
Speaker 1: but they did a spectacular job. Minimal fighting, the beepers,
33:53
Speaker 1: the bombing, the killing of Nozraala amazing, amazing, amazing, amazing
34:00
Speaker 1: means stunning. Uh. You know, the campaign against these Milan,
34:05
Speaker 1: the campaign ultimately against Ivan, will be studied in military
34:08
Speaker 1: colleges for decades to come. These were truly brilliant military achievements.
34:18
Speaker 1: They surprised everybody. And by the way, even in Gaza,
34:21
Speaker 1: how many times were we told, well, they can't go
34:24
Speaker 1: into Gaza city and Marames will destroy them. They're going
34:28
Speaker 1: to Dieza city and Hamas doesn't do anything. They can't
34:31
Speaker 1: go into Rafa. There's no way they can go to Rafa.
34:34
Speaker 1: Israeli military is not ready to go into Rafa. They
34:37
Speaker 1: don't know what it's like urban warfare. They're going to
34:39
Speaker 1: be decimated. They're going to Rafa and they succeed. I mean,
34:43
Speaker 1: one of the things this war and the one Ukraine
34:45
Speaker 1: have taught us, or should teach us, or should have
34:47
Speaker 1: taught all of us, is the complete incompetence, ignorance of
35:00
Speaker 1: a class of military commentators on American TV who have
35:05
Speaker 1: no clue, really no clue about war. You think they're
35:11
Speaker 1: all ex generals and ex this and ex that. You
35:14
Speaker 1: think they know something completely ig ignoramuses, completely ignorant, incompetent.
35:23
Speaker 1: I mean, is Ya can't fight a two front wall,
35:27
Speaker 1: Oh my god, can't take on the Iranians. The Iranians
35:30
Speaker 1: are a powerful military is or will be crushed. How
35:37
Speaker 1: many times did we hear all that over and over
35:39
Speaker 1: and over again? So is All militarily has been brilliant,
35:48
Speaker 1: just being brilliant and as again reshaped the Middle East.
35:51
Speaker 1: I mean, on October seventh, Iran had its dominant position
35:58
Speaker 1: in Nagaza to Hamas controlled Lebanon controlled Syria controlled Iraq,
36:05
Speaker 1: controlled Yemen. It was the Middle East power. Everybody was
36:11
Speaker 1: afraid of it, including the United States. Everybody was skate
36:14
Speaker 1: of the Unions.
36:17
Speaker 2: Today, Iwon is a shadow of its former being.
36:22
Speaker 1: It has lost Gaza, it is lost Lebanon, it has
36:26
Speaker 1: lost Syria, it still has Yemen, and it's lost its
36:32
Speaker 1: capacity to project force. It's lost this nuclear program, it's
36:37
Speaker 1: lost thisstic missile program. It's a shadow of itself. Now
36:45
Speaker 1: it has a chance of resurrection, because God forbid, we
36:50
Speaker 1: never let Israel actually finish the job, and we don't
36:52
Speaker 1: actually let them win. That is a speciality of Donald
36:55
Speaker 1: Trump's not to let Israel win, not to let Israel
36:58
Speaker 1: actually defeat the enemy, so that the war against Iran
37:02
Speaker 1: ended too soon. Uh, there's plenty of reason now to
37:05
Speaker 1: believe that the Russians and the Chinese maybe are re arming,
37:09
Speaker 1: re arming them to the hilt. So is all relativity
37:27
Speaker 1: did amazing courage and and and and and here I'm
37:32
Speaker 1: talking about not just the strategy, the brilliance of its generals,
37:36
Speaker 1: the competence of the Mosada. I mean the intelligence. Really
37:39
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies just again studied for generations how what they
37:44
Speaker 1: did and how they did it in Iran and in Lebanon,
37:47
Speaker 1: but also the Israeli soldiers, just just the soldier, the kid,
37:51
Speaker 1: it's just out of high school, the eighteen year old
37:53
Speaker 1: who's putting on a uniform and putting on a gun,
37:56
Speaker 1: and and and and and is is now sent into Gaza.
38:00
Speaker 1: Done a phenomenal job. And one of the great injustices,
38:04
Speaker 1: one of the great travesties, one of the great evils
38:07
Speaker 1: in the world out there is blaming these kids for quote, genocide,
38:16
Speaker 1: when sadly they put their lives in danger to avoid
38:20
Speaker 1: killing too many civilians, which is horrific in it of itself.
38:28
Speaker 1: But beyond that, Israel has not done well. It has
38:32
Speaker 1: handled the military, it has handled the economy, but it's
38:37
Speaker 1: Raeli society and Israeli leadership, and here it's political leadership
38:41
Speaker 1: have refused to take responsibility. Folktober seventh, have refused to
38:47
Speaker 1: say the buckstops here. I will not let n'tagnielle off
38:54
Speaker 1: the hook for as long as I live or as
38:56
Speaker 1: long as he lives. It is Natania's policy for fifteen
39:06
Speaker 1: years before October seventh that made October seventh possible. It
39:12
Speaker 1: Isna Daniel's willingness to let Katari and Iranian money flow
39:15
Speaker 1: into the Gaza strip, let Hamas build the tunnels they knew.
39:21
Speaker 1: Israeli intelligence new. It is Natanio's conviction that Ramasa turned
39:29
Speaker 1: a leaf and was not peaceful that made October seventh possible.
39:34
Speaker 1: In Aniao's weakness time and time and time again from
39:38
Speaker 1: two thousand and five until October seventh, twenty twenty three,
39:45
Speaker 1: time and time again, attacked by Ramas and appeased by
39:50
Speaker 1: Antenniel government, his refusal to go to war, his refusal
39:54
Speaker 1: to defeat the enemy, and it is a no matter
40:07
Speaker 1: what he does and how well he performed after October seventh,
40:13
Speaker 1: he is responsible for October seventh happening. Not to take
40:20
Speaker 1: that responsibility, not to even acknowledge it, not to apologize
40:24
Speaker 1: for it, not to repent for it. It's disgusting and
40:30
Speaker 1: despicable power lusting politicians who can never, never ever admit
40:39
Speaker 1: to being wrong, so taking responsibility. We still don't know
40:52
Speaker 1: all the intelligence failures on that October seventh, all the
40:56
Speaker 1: deployment failures, the inability to respond on that day, from Niteniao,
41:02
Speaker 1: his government, his Defense secretary, the leadership of the Israeli military,
41:08
Speaker 1: across the board, there was a massive, massive failure. It
41:14
Speaker 1: cost the lives of twelve hundred people. Now, just to
41:17
Speaker 1: give you a sense, twelve hundred people for a population
41:20
Speaker 1: about ten million in Israel. Multiply that by thirty five,
41:31
Speaker 1: so you would have close to forty thousand dead in
41:34
Speaker 1: the United States would be the equivalent of what happened
41:37
Speaker 1: October seventh. So yeah, it is you know, the Israeli
41:58
Speaker 1: government's resistance to having a any kind of inquiry, any
42:01
Speaker 1: kind of any kind of attempt to figure out what happened,
42:10
Speaker 1: what went wrong, and who is responsible. I mean, the
42:13
Speaker 1: cover up is just unbelievable. And the fact that Israel
42:16
Speaker 1: we're allowed to happen is unforgivable. And of course Israel
42:28
Speaker 1: today is dramatically divided. The hostages became the number one priority,
42:38
Speaker 1: and we're allowed to become the number one priority and
42:41
Speaker 1: encouraged the hostages to become the number one priority. It
42:44
Speaker 1: is why again there are negotiations now to end this war.
42:50
Speaker 1: Instead of the complete and out of destruction of Hamas,
42:54
Speaker 1: the complete and out of humiliation of the Palestine is
43:02
Speaker 1: the defeat of the Palestinian cause should have been the
43:06
Speaker 1: goals of this war. Freeing the hostages would have been
43:13
Speaker 1: a good thing, but could not be at the same
43:16
Speaker 1: level as victory. And the consequence of that is being
43:22
Speaker 1: a war. This lasted two years when it shouldn't be,
43:26
Speaker 1: should have been three to six months. The consequence of
43:30
Speaker 1: that is the negotiations we're seeing right now, which are
43:33
Speaker 1: real travesty. And what we're seeing in Israel is a
43:39
Speaker 1: real divided society, society divided around the willingness to appease
43:48
Speaker 1: in order to get the hostages back. All right, So
43:58
Speaker 1: you know, whatever happens is your share is hard to tell.
44:01
Speaker 1: Whatever happens with these negotiations, it's hard to tell. It's
44:05
Speaker 1: how to tell what the motivation is of Ramas and
44:07
Speaker 1: the rest of the Arab countries. You know, the West
44:14
Speaker 1: is we can now visa of Islam than it ever
44:17
Speaker 1: has been. Israel is stronger, The West is weaker. The
44:22
Speaker 1: West has shown itself, as it did after nine to eleven,
44:30
Speaker 1: to have no values, no commitment to principles, and an
44:35
Speaker 1: complete inability to stand up to the Muslim world and
44:39
Speaker 1: to stand up to barbarism. The Western world has proven
44:46
Speaker 1: that it is ready to Capuccilli, to surrender. Israel is
44:55
Speaker 1: the one fighting force out there. It's the one country
44:59
Speaker 1: actually fighting, It's the one culture actually dedicated to surviving.
45:11
Speaker 1: Is should be celebrated. It should be supported unequivocally. The
45:17
Speaker 1: West should be competing with one another. Western countries a
45:20
Speaker 1: new support is moree should be treated with red carpet
45:31
Speaker 1: as taking a real blow to the enemies of the West.
45:39
Speaker 1: Ukraine is fighting, but fighting a slightly different war, and
45:44
Speaker 1: it is celebrated by the West. Israel is hated by
45:49
Speaker 1: the West while it is the only one fighting a
45:53
Speaker 1: war which will ultimately could determine the fate of the
45:56
Speaker 1: future of the West. It's war with Islamism. You know
46:04
Speaker 1: what does this say about the future? I mean Israel
46:08
Speaker 1: In spite of my negativity, Israel comes out of this
46:12
Speaker 1: no matter what happens, in cause it comes out of
46:14
Speaker 1: its stronger. Israel will be stronger when this is over
46:18
Speaker 1: than it was in October seventh, October sixth.
46:23
Speaker 2: Israel will come out stronger.
46:24
Speaker 1: It will come out in the Middle East that is
46:26
Speaker 1: going to be very hesitant, very hesitant to mess with Israel.
46:32
Speaker 1: It's going to come out of this as a player,
46:36
Speaker 1: as somebody to be respected, held at arm's length. It
46:42
Speaker 1: could come out of this with more peace deals. Not
46:45
Speaker 1: that I trust any of these peace deals, but with
46:47
Speaker 1: more peace deals better than being at war.
46:52
Speaker 2: It will probably the.
46:53
Speaker 1: Result of everything that's happened will probably be decades, a
46:58
Speaker 1: couple of decades of relative peace in it. Ramass finished
47:03
Speaker 1: one way or the other. They will rebuild, they will
47:06
Speaker 1: be recreated, They will re establish themselves, but it will
47:10
Speaker 1: take a long time. The Palestinians, particularly those in Gaza,
47:17
Speaker 1: are demodelized, not as much as they should be, those
47:20
Speaker 1: in the West Bank not so much. And the next
47:22
Speaker 1: problems Israel is likely to face in the West Bank,
47:26
Speaker 1: but these are going to be relatively minor problems. Again,
47:31
Speaker 1: there are world and the Muslim world, particularly Iran, have
47:37
Speaker 1: been weakened dramatically. Israel will come out of this in
47:44
Speaker 1: a pretty good condition, much better than any other Western
47:49
Speaker 1: country comes out of this. The West, more broadly, comes
47:53
Speaker 1: out of it in much worse, comes out of this
47:58
Speaker 1: in a position of weakness, having just appeased the worst enemies. Now. Ultimately,
48:06
Speaker 1: the response to this will be and is the rise
48:10
Speaker 1: of a far right in Europe, which is building its
48:14
Speaker 1: campaign on standing up to Islam. I don't think that'll
48:19
Speaker 1: be good for Europe. I don't think that'll be good
48:21
Speaker 1: for the West. I have no idea what's in the
48:23
Speaker 1: future of America. But anti Semitism is not going away.
48:28
Speaker 1: It's not going away. I mean, you saw Megan Kelly.
48:32
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw Megan Kelly. Megan Kelly
48:35
Speaker 1: has been going around justifying her friendship will Tucker Carlson
48:42
Speaker 1: and pretending she doesn't know anything about Candice Owned but
48:47
Speaker 1: expressing some friendly, you know, some friendly feelings towards her.
48:55
Speaker 1: This is Megan Kelly. Pretty mainstream, mainstream Republican anti Semitis
49:02
Speaker 1: are not going anywhere. Anti Semitism is now a feature
49:06
Speaker 1: of our society on the left and on the right.
49:10
Speaker 1: Anti Semitism in Europe will only grow. And while now
49:14
Speaker 1: it is primarily from the left in Europe and primali
49:17
Speaker 1: from Islam, the right will we well remember it's anti
49:24
Speaker 1: Semitic roots, and it will come back on the right
49:28
Speaker 1: as well. So the victory of a right in Europe
49:33
Speaker 1: it's not going to be healthy for the Jews in Europe.
49:36
Speaker 1: The Jews will have plenty of reason to celebrate the
49:40
Speaker 1: victory of Israel because it'll be the one place they
49:42
Speaker 1: can escape to which is the whole purpose of the
49:44
Speaker 1: state of Israel is to be a place where Jews
49:46
Speaker 1: can escape to. So Israel will do fine. It will
49:57
Speaker 1: survive this. It's the fact fact that its enemy is
50:01
Speaker 1: a weak and pathetic and nihilistic and but lacks anything,
50:08
Speaker 1: lacks any production of values, and lacks any source of values,
50:12
Speaker 1: lacks any any abilities. Makes it so Israel can easily
50:22
Speaker 1: defeat them, and has defeated them at a huge cost.
50:25
Speaker 1: But has defeated them because Israel has basically in outline
50:32
Speaker 1: a fairly good economy. It will survive, even though it's
50:36
Speaker 1: going to be mo istolated diplomatically and economically by the West.
50:43
Speaker 1: But it is it is Israel's bought some peace, and
50:47
Speaker 1: that's good. One thing that I think remains. I really
51:02
Speaker 1: think October seventh should remain a litmus test pretty much forever.
51:12
Speaker 1: People will not condemn it, people will not express support
51:17
Speaker 1: for Israel in its fight for survival. Your people worth
51:24
Speaker 1: writing off. That is evil right there. To be on
51:33
Speaker 1: the side of good, it's to be on the side
51:36
Speaker 1: of Israel here on the civilizational battle between the West
51:41
Speaker 1: and the barbarians. And to be on the side of barbarians,
51:48
Speaker 1: that is pretty evil, and when you see so many,
51:53
Speaker 1: it's got to make you worry about the fate of
51:55
Speaker 1: the West. Israel will take care of itself. It's the
51:59
Speaker 1: rest of the West I worry about. All right, thank

Speaker 1: Patreon adult com. Let's see what do we want to do, Hu,
56:15
Speaker 1: I want to get rid of that, get rid of this.
56:22
Speaker 1: All right, let's take some of your super chat questions.
56:32
Speaker 1: All right, Robert, you cannot watch the ten seven videos
56:37
Speaker 1: or video of nine to eleven and rationally believe this
56:42
Speaker 1: is what we must understand, tolerate compromise with. I mean,
56:47
Speaker 1: you obviously can now you can't do it rationally. You
56:52
Speaker 1: can do it honestly, But so many people indeed have
56:57
Speaker 1: That's exactly what they took from this. We must we
57:02
Speaker 1: must appease these people somehow, We must remedy their injustices
57:09
Speaker 1: that have we inflicted upon these people. Somehow, these people,
57:13
Speaker 1: somehow are the good guys. Somehow people do that, people
57:18
Speaker 1: have done that, people are still doing it. Uh, No
57:22
Speaker 1: honest person, I think and look at those videos and
57:24
Speaker 1: say that, No honest person can look at those videos
57:28
Speaker 1: and say there's anybody here even to talk to. But
57:34
Speaker 1: you know, just look at Greta and the flotilla, and
57:37
Speaker 1: and Greta having the the the audacity, the gall to
57:42
Speaker 1: accuse Israel of torturing her. She was tortured, she was
57:46
Speaker 1: treated badly, poor Greta. I mean they should have I mean,
57:51
Speaker 1: my view is they should have let the flotilla land
57:55
Speaker 1: in Goza, and and they should have sick fromas on
57:59
Speaker 1: them and seeing what happened to those people, it's just despicable, despicable,
58:07
Speaker 1: and they they hatred, hatred of Israel ultimately to some extent,
58:13
Speaker 1: is motivated by hatred of Jews and the hatred of
58:17
Speaker 1: their own civilization. The hatred of themselves, Greta and all
58:21
Speaker 1: her compatriots on this flotilla is just so blatant and
58:27
Speaker 1: so horrific and so disgusting. It truly is, truly is horrible.
58:35
Speaker 1: Regiev is a I and it's right to use all
58:38
Speaker 1: of miss Rand's work immune from the legal issues between
58:43
Speaker 1: doctor Peakoff and Kira. Have the highest respect for doctor Peacoff. No,
58:48
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think there's we are. I
58:52
Speaker 1: don't think Ari is immune from any of that. If
58:57
Speaker 1: you missed the first hour, you can rewind. And beauty
59:01
Speaker 1: of the Internet is it's all there, all right, Jennifer says,
59:08
Speaker 1: guess what. Rush has announced a tour for the next
59:12
Speaker 1: year with a new drummer. They may add a couple
59:15
Speaker 1: of more musicians to help them with the difficult parts,
59:19
Speaker 1: with the different parts not difficult, different parts. We are
59:22
Speaker 1: planning to go to Cleveland September twenty twenty six. Very cool. Wow,
59:27
Speaker 1: September twenty twenty six. That's a year for now. Very cool.
59:30
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Jennifer. I know this is huge for you.
59:34
Speaker 1: I know there are other Rush fans out there. Enjoy,
59:37
Speaker 1: have a good time. Yeah, go go go enjoy. John.
59:44
Speaker 1: Young people do nothing about the history of the Middle
59:46
Speaker 1: know nothing, no, do nothing about the history of the
59:49
Speaker 1: Middle East conflict, and easily buy into the Palestinian victim narrative.
59:55
Speaker 2: How can we break through that hotshell to reach.
59:58
Speaker 1: The young It's very difficult because the hard shell, in
1:00:05
Speaker 1: the end is not just ignorance of the history, because
1:00:08
Speaker 1: when you teach them the history, it doesn't seem to
1:00:10
Speaker 1: but they don't budge, it doesn't change. The hotshell is altruism.
1:00:19
Speaker 1: The hotshell is altruism. I mean, for some people it's hatred,
1:00:23
Speaker 1: people like Dave Smith and the Libertarians and Tucker Kussen
1:00:27
Speaker 1: and Candice Own it's hatred. They just hate.
1:00:32
Speaker 2: But for a lot of young people, it's altruism.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: They've been taught over and over and over again, and
1:00:43
Speaker 1: primarily by the university professors, and this is why there's
1:00:47
Speaker 1: a sense in which the response at the university level
1:00:50
Speaker 1: should have not been a surprise.
1:00:52
Speaker 2: They've been taught over and over and over again.
1:00:56
Speaker 1: That it's all about oppressor pressed, it's all about success
1:01:02
Speaker 1: and failure. It's all about you having to relate to
1:01:07
Speaker 1: the victim. It's all about the victim being the good guy,
1:01:14
Speaker 1: almost by definition, the good guy, and that's very odd
1:01:20
Speaker 1: to break through. I mean, you have to offer them
1:01:21
Speaker 1: an alternative. I mean, if they watch the October seventh
1:01:26
Speaker 1: videos and that leads them to sympathize with the Palestinians,
1:01:31
Speaker 1: because the Palestinians have the poor and the suffering and
1:01:35
Speaker 1: Israel has such a powerful army. There's no facts that
1:01:39
Speaker 1: are going to change anything. It's all about all about altruism,
1:01:46
Speaker 1: and that's the battle. That's the fight, that's what we're
1:01:48
Speaker 1: all engage in. If we can't win the battle around altruism,
1:01:51
Speaker 1: we cannot win West and Sieve cannot we cannot protect
1:01:57
Speaker 1: Western civilization against its enemies. You know, the young feel
1:02:04
Speaker 1: guilty for living in such an opulent, prosperous place. They
1:02:08
Speaker 1: don't understand where they all came from, and they feel
1:02:12
Speaker 1: guilty for it as they should if they're altruists, and
1:02:17
Speaker 1: their parents can't teach them otherwise, because their parents might
1:02:20
Speaker 1: not be quite as bad as these young people, but
1:02:23
Speaker 1: their parents altruists too, and so their political leaders and
1:02:28
Speaker 1: their cultural leaders and their religious leaders. As long as
1:02:33
Speaker 1: altruism is everywhere, it's impossible to change the minds of people, well,
1:02:41
Speaker 1: not impossible, very hard, because it's not about the facts.
1:02:47
Speaker 1: It's about who's on the top and who's at the bottom,
1:02:52
Speaker 1: who's being oppressed or who's poor, who's rich, who's successful,
1:02:56
Speaker 1: who's a.
1:02:58
Speaker 2: Failure, And by being a fake.
1:03:01
Speaker 1: Automatically virtuous, you're automatically the good guys, non elite runner.
1:03:14
Speaker 1: Thank you for the twenty dollars sticker. That's his first
1:03:16
Speaker 1: super Chat ever. Thank you, thank you, Thank you. Really
1:03:19
Speaker 1: appreciate that we're slowly chipping away at our goals, but
1:03:23
Speaker 1: we're still quite a bit off from our first hour goal,
1:03:27
Speaker 1: and with of course get going into our second hour
1:03:29
Speaker 1: and now and not a lot of questions. So if
1:03:33
Speaker 1: you're going to support the show, now's the time to do.
1:03:35
Speaker 1: If you're going to ask a question, now's the time
1:03:37
Speaker 1: to do it. I meccott. Last two years we saw
1:03:40
Speaker 1: humanity chewing on or excusing a death cult in mass
1:03:45
Speaker 1: I don't think I'll ever see the planet the same
1:03:47
Speaker 1: way again. Yeah, I agree with you. It's hard to
1:03:51
Speaker 1: see young people in America all over the world in
1:03:57
Speaker 1: the same way, given what they've done, given what they've supported,
1:04:00
Speaker 1: given the way they responded. And of course this should
1:04:06
Speaker 1: red lights should be flashing everywhere about the quality of education.
1:04:10
Speaker 1: We always knew as bad, but just how bad it is,
1:04:14
Speaker 1: how bad, how bad the education our kids are getting.
1:04:20
Speaker 2: This should be a real wake up call, a real
1:04:22
Speaker 2: wake up call, and I don't get.
1:04:24
Speaker 1: A sense that it is. You know, not to go
1:04:28
Speaker 1: after here and there, but to systematically rethink what we're
1:04:32
Speaker 1: teaching the kids at university, to systematically rethink who these
1:04:37
Speaker 1: professors are. I mean they should have been mass layoffs
1:04:44
Speaker 1: after the university demonstrations by students. Mass layoffs are professors,
1:04:50
Speaker 1: and the university is acknowledging they complete and utter failure
1:04:57
Speaker 1: at education. This is not about not from government. It
1:05:02
Speaker 1: should have come from the universities and the alum who
1:05:07
Speaker 1: still gave the universities tens of millions of dollars. Shouldn't
1:05:13
Speaker 1: just be demanding the resignation for a president. They should
1:05:18
Speaker 1: be demanding mass resignation, mass firing a faculty, the shutting
1:05:23
Speaker 1: down of whole departments, the rethinking of curriculum across the board.
1:05:32
Speaker 1: Screw academic freedom. There's no such thing. You don't have
1:05:35
Speaker 1: the freedom to teach garbage. You don't have the freedom
1:05:38
Speaker 1: to teach evil. You don't have the freedom to teach insanity.
1:05:47
Speaker 1: If you can't fire them, marginalize them, but get rid
1:05:53
Speaker 1: of This is a good time to get rid of
1:05:55
Speaker 1: tenure and to fire thousands of professors, hundreds of professors
1:06:05
Speaker 1: who are teaching the worst kind of garbage to our kids.
1:06:08
Speaker 1: And the consequence of that other demonstrations, the consequence of
1:06:14
Speaker 1: that is the attitude of young people towards Israel. Milko
1:06:22
Speaker 1: all right, thanks for your visit. I hope you enjoyed
1:06:25
Speaker 1: the name Modena. This chart is just this chat is
1:06:28
Speaker 1: just to say you want alone, value for value appreciated.
1:06:32
Speaker 1: H Coole, Yes, very much, very much enjoyed my time
1:06:36
Speaker 1: with you in Modena and in its surroundings. It was
1:06:41
Speaker 1: a really really enjoyable day. Oh what is the name
1:06:43
Speaker 1: of the dish? The designa like dish that I had
1:06:48
Speaker 1: at the at the restaurant. It wasn't Lasigna, right, but
1:06:52
Speaker 1: it was something similar to lasagna. And it was so good.
1:06:56
Speaker 1: It was so good. So yeah, I have to love
1:07:00
Speaker 1: the name of that dish. And we still need to
1:07:06
Speaker 1: chat about my my visits, my next visit to you know, Europe,
1:07:13
Speaker 1: and and uh next year, and what we can do
1:07:17
Speaker 1: in Italy, what we can do in Modera or somewhere
1:07:20
Speaker 1: else in Italy. Money cut you. I don't think it
1:07:26
Speaker 1: was money cutty anyway, Mico will tell us what the
1:07:29
Speaker 1: dish was, Lasagna at Ronaldo's. It was lasagna sognata sognata,
1:07:36
Speaker 1: all right. It was so good. It was the best
1:07:39
Speaker 1: lasagna I've ever had. It wasn't even close. I mean,
1:07:44
Speaker 1: everything just melted in your mouth, just melted. It was
1:07:48
Speaker 1: amazing Lasagna at Arnaldo. All right, Thank you, Michael. A
1:07:55
Speaker 1: really wonderful day. And once I have dates for my
1:07:59
Speaker 1: next from trip to Europe, I will send them to
1:08:02
Speaker 1: you to coordinate another visit, right, Greg, I guess he's
1:08:10
Speaker 1: recommending the book Why I'm Not a Muslim by even
1:08:12
Speaker 1: Wak that's from the period of post nine to eleven
1:08:16
Speaker 1: that was on my reading list, or one of the
1:08:18
Speaker 1: books I read after nine eleven I like numbers says,
1:08:22
Speaker 1: did many cheering October seventh also cheer Charlie's death? I
1:08:28
Speaker 1: mean maybe, Obviously, the cheering after October seventh was more organized.
1:08:34
Speaker 1: There was more from particular student groups. It was it
1:08:38
Speaker 1: was remember thirty different clubs out of Harvard University. Harvard
1:08:44
Speaker 1: I came out in support of October seventh the day after.
1:08:47
Speaker 1: I don't think you got that with Charlie's death. I
1:08:50
Speaker 1: don't think you got explicit statements of support. You got
1:08:53
Speaker 1: kids espressally support on Twitter and on campuses and stuff
1:08:57
Speaker 1: like that, but it wasn't whole entities on campus. I
1:09:04
Speaker 1: wonder what have been response if they'd been real demonstrations
1:09:08
Speaker 1: and chewing and celebrations on campuses after Charlie's death. I
1:09:18
Speaker 1: remind you that we are a listener watch a supported
1:09:25
Speaker 1: show couldn't exist without support from you. We are running
1:09:29
Speaker 1: behind today value for value. If you value my coverage,
1:09:33
Speaker 1: if you value all the shows I've done since October seven,
1:09:37
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three over the last two years, please consider
1:09:40
Speaker 1: supporting the show with a sticker with a super chat
1:09:44
Speaker 1: to show your support. The grant just did twenty dollars
1:09:49
Speaker 1: and a sticker. Thank you. He's that's his twentieth super chat.
1:09:56
Speaker 1: It's kind of I don't know which milestone YouTube chooses
1:10:01
Speaker 1: to celebrate, but to twentieth, thank you, Grant. I appreciate it.
1:10:05
Speaker 1: Benjamin says. All I can do now is shake my
1:10:09
Speaker 1: head that this two years of half measures had to
1:10:12
Speaker 1: be optimistic about this conflict. Thank you for covering this.
1:10:15
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, but even half measures given Hamas and
1:10:21
Speaker 1: the Palestinians are going to buy Israel a lot. They're
1:10:24
Speaker 1: going to buy Israel a lot in terms of peace. Uh,
1:10:31
Speaker 1: you know, over the next over the next again a
1:10:34
Speaker 1: few decades, so as I do expect that in spite
1:10:39
Speaker 1: of it, Israel will come out of this. Okay, the
1:10:42
Speaker 1: rest of the world not so much. The rest of
1:10:44
Speaker 1: the world is revealed. It's moral, it's complete and other unequivocal.
1:10:49
Speaker 1: Maral bank bankruptcy, complete, Mael bankruptcy, which is tragic and
1:10:56
Speaker 1: uh and said, and if Jews join the GOP might
1:11:02
Speaker 1: slow the costs and when maybe I think Jews have
1:11:08
Speaker 1: joined the GOP. More Jews after October seventh joined the GOP.
1:11:13
Speaker 1: Some pretty high profile Jews joined the GOP who were
1:11:16
Speaker 1: fairly left before that. I'm sure more will join. It's
1:11:21
Speaker 1: hard for them to join as the GP becomes more antisemitic.
1:11:25
Speaker 1: You know, it's a do you join to try to
1:11:29
Speaker 1: influence them against Do you join and sanction the fact
1:11:33
Speaker 1: that they're the hateful of you? So hard to tell, Michael.
1:11:40
Speaker 1: People feel it when forces aimed at them, but can
1:11:44
Speaker 1: identify it when it's aimed at others. I mean, I
1:11:49
Speaker 1: think that's right, sadly, but the reality is the Ramas
1:11:54
Speaker 1: it does not limit its violent intent towards Israel. It's
1:11:58
Speaker 1: violent intent just towards all the West. It is part
1:12:02
Speaker 1: of a you know, a global jihad. Globalizing Intafada is
1:12:09
Speaker 1: the global jihad, and that is a jihad against the West.
1:12:12
Speaker 1: It is the establishment of Islamist khalifa across the entire
1:12:16
Speaker 1: West there after all of us, no matter where we live.
1:12:20
Speaker 1: They believe the whole world was granted to them as
1:12:24
Speaker 1: Muslims by Allah, and that they should bring Sharia law
1:12:27
Speaker 1: to all of it, and the West's weakness and appeasement
1:12:32
Speaker 1: will only abolden them to try to continue to try
1:12:36
Speaker 1: to establish this kulifund of Theirs. Nrik Israel is a
1:12:42
Speaker 1: symbol for Islam, for Islamists of the West not submitting. Yeah,
1:12:51
Speaker 1: I think Israel not submitting is a is an affront
1:12:54
Speaker 1: to the Islamists. It's it's it is.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: It shows what the West could do if it wanted
1:13:02
Speaker 2: to do.
1:13:03
Speaker 1: But of course it's not enough. It's not enough. John
1:13:08
Speaker 1: says a tenant professors can be fired from mal turpitude.
1:13:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, if only the understood what maltipitude meant.
1:13:15
Speaker 1: And could apply it. If only they could apply it,
1:13:19
Speaker 1: you have to pretty much rape somebody to get fired
1:13:23
Speaker 1: as a tenant professor. It's very difficult otherwise, given the
1:13:27
Speaker 1: state of our universities and the way tenure is interpreted.
1:13:33
Speaker 1: Harper Part one. Outside of morality, you don't think there
1:13:37
Speaker 1: are superior versus inferior human beings. Steve Jobs versus the janitor.
1:13:44
Speaker 1: And janet can be more honest and moral than the
1:13:47
Speaker 1: software engineer. He cleans up dafter. But when you talk
1:13:51
Speaker 1: about changing the culture, you talk about reaching the people
1:13:54
Speaker 1: who matter, those aren't the janitors at all. Yeah, No,
1:13:58
Speaker 1: that's true. So I didn't say everybody matters the same.
1:14:02
Speaker 1: I didn't say that, you know, Steve Jobs, the and
1:14:08
Speaker 1: the janitor matter the same, or contribute to the world
1:14:12
Speaker 1: the same, or but that doesn't make some people superior.
1:14:19
Speaker 1: Superior means fundamentally essentially better, by the very nature better,
1:14:27
Speaker 1: and I don't I don't think that's the case. I
1:14:30
Speaker 1: think this is it's a very very bad word. I mean,
1:14:33
Speaker 1: hierarchies exist, people are better at certain things than others,
1:14:36
Speaker 1: But to be superior as a human being is means
1:14:42
Speaker 1: you're somehow, in every dimension better than everybody else. And
1:14:47
Speaker 1: I don't think you're born superior. I don't think you're
1:14:52
Speaker 1: You know, you have to make yourself better. And again,
1:14:56
Speaker 1: anybody can. What matters is morality, and any he can
1:15:00
Speaker 1: make himself morally better. What matters and cultural change is
1:15:03
Speaker 1: other things, right, it's charisma and writing skills and communication
1:15:09
Speaker 1: ability and all of that. So it's just not useful.
1:15:13
Speaker 1: It adds nothing to say Steve Jobs is superior to
1:15:16
Speaker 1: a janitor by what. Okay, he's more productive, True, he
1:15:21
Speaker 1: changes the world more True, that's good enough. Why do
1:15:24
Speaker 1: you have to have this big label to make him
1:15:27
Speaker 1: a better human being in some way? I also have
1:15:31
Speaker 1: a question from yesterday that Andrew asked just as we
1:15:34
Speaker 1: were ending the show, and I didn't get a chance
1:15:37
Speaker 1: to answer. So this is the last question unless you
1:15:39
Speaker 1: come up with stuff. We're still about. We're still thirty
1:15:43
Speaker 1: seven dollars short of our first hour goal, so it
1:15:47
Speaker 1: would be great to at least get the first hour
1:15:49
Speaker 1: goal done. So if anybody wants to come in and
1:15:52
Speaker 1: do some stickers, we've got over one hundred people watching.
1:15:55
Speaker 1: Just a few stickers from a few people out there
1:16:00
Speaker 1: would make all the difference. Remember, this show is only possible.
1:16:04
Speaker 1: What I do is only made possible because you guys
1:16:07
Speaker 1: support the show on things like super Chat and stickers
1:16:10
Speaker 1: and things like that. Andrew says, people often I ask
1:16:16
Speaker 1: about the mental health problem of the youth. How about laziness.
1:16:21
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a widespread laziness problem or is
1:16:24
Speaker 1: the whining of the youth just more amplified today.
1:16:29
Speaker 2: I mean, there's probably a laziness problem.
1:16:31
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know if you today is
1:16:34
Speaker 1: more lazy than youth in the past. I don't know
1:16:36
Speaker 1: how to measure that. Certainly there are a lot of
1:16:39
Speaker 1: lazy people, and and of course various degrees of laziness.
1:16:49
Speaker 1: There's some people who will not stop work unbelievably hard,
1:16:51
Speaker 1: and there's some people who don't do much at all.
1:16:54
Speaker 1: So laziness is relative as well. But I don't know.
1:17:01
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I don't have the stats, I
1:17:03
Speaker 1: don't have the data. There's no reason to talk about
1:17:05
Speaker 1: it because I don't know unless you have some way
1:17:09
Speaker 1: to send me for reference to what extent this really
1:17:14
Speaker 1: is more of a problem of today than ever before.
1:17:17
Speaker 1: There are kids out there, no question, that are sitting
1:17:21
Speaker 1: in their mother's basement playing video games. To that extent
1:17:25
Speaker 1: that exists, we know that more so than in the past.
1:17:30
Speaker 1: Is that laziness? Is that something else that is driving them?
1:17:33
