Alex Traiman | CEO of Jewish News Syndicate Just Laughs at Tucker Carlson · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: There are Republicans, they used to be Republicans. I don't
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: know what they are anymore that are not in office,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: people like Candice Owens, Megan Kelly, and Tucker Carlson who
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: are anti Israel, anti BB anti Semites. Let me go
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to my dear Brandy RUNSJNS dot org if you want
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: any information on Israel, on the war, on Cresbola, on
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the economy, whatever it may be. Nothing better than JNS
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: dot org. I've done many shows live from their beautiful
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: studios in Jerusalem. My dear frand Alex Treinman. Alex, good,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I guess in your case Wednesday afternoon, buddy, how are you?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Sid, Good morning to all your listeners.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Nice to have you back. I'm actually making plans now
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: to go back to Israel for a sixth time since
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the war. I want to be there this October seventh
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: to commemorate three years. Does it seem like three years
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to you, Alex? Or just yesterday?
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: You know, it's been a time warp over here. We
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: were first in the COVID time warp for a while,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and then just immediately after COVID seemed to fade away,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: we had the holiday, the festivals, of Russa Shanna Yom
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Kiportstu Code, And I remember saying on that Zu Code
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: holiday to my family and my colleagues that said, Israel
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: is finally back. We're finally back to having tourism after
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: this horrific time warp which was COVID and then immediately
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: like three days after that was October seventh, and we've
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: just been in another time warp for the last three years.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: But how does it look today? You know, again, coming
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: up on three years, we know that Gaza is not
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: really the issue it was, but it's still an issue,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: and we're still talking about it here in America. We
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: know Hezbolah and Israel, they kind of go back and forth,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: and it's peaceful now most of the time, but not
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: all of the time. What does it look like in
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Israel right now?
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, we're in the summer vacation and Israelis
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: are traveling a lot, kids are going to camp, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: it's really the first time in a while that we've
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: had that. I think most Israelis really kind of appreciate
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that the war seems to be on our low burn
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: right now. Certainly there are troops inside Gaza. Certainly there
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: are troops inside southern Lebanon, and there are many families
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: here that have had to send fathers, husbands, sons into
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: battle and reserve duty for as long as, let's say,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: three hundred to four hundred days out of the last
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: three years. So that's very, very difficult. But on the
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: home front, things are relatively quiet right now. But we
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: also understand that it doesn't have to remain quiet, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: so therefore we always remain on high eart.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I I had doctor Ophio falk On for a second
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: time last week, and him and I text each other
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: quite a bit. Now become really good friends. And he
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: is bb Netanyawo's senior policy advisor, and I'm sensing a
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: little bit of nervousness. Look, they say, don't bet against Bbe,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: and I I would't bet against Biebe. He's won five
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of the last six elections. Truth is, like Mark Levin
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: just said, he's an amazing guy, a great leader. Only
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: the anti Semites have bad things to say about Bibi
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and the morons. That's it. The guy's amazing and has
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: been in Israel for decades, his whole family. But there
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: seems to be a growing concern that he may not
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: win this time, and to make matters worse, he has
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not yet received an endorsement from President Trump. What are
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: people you're seeing in Israel?
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Well, it depends you know who you're asking here. We
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: have a lot of polls. Polls come out almost daily
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and it's around all the major news channels. So all
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: the left wing and progressive Israeli news channels show that
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Nataniall is going to lose the elections. But the centrist
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: and right wing news stations that run polls with different
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: pollsters who have actually, I would say, been more correct
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: in the previous elections with their methodologies, are showing that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: thatthan how stands to win the next election. So similar
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to these last series we had before this government which
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: actually went its full term and it was his first
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: government in fifty years to go its full term. Before that,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: we had five consecutive elections in two years, and by
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: all accounts, nathanial won all five of them, even though
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Telly Bennett became Prime Minister as part of a parliamentary
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: maneuvered to block Nethaniale from forming the government. Ethaniello won
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: every time. So I wouldn't I wouldn't bet against them
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: right now, I think anybody that bets against Nathanial has
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: found out time again that they were on the wrong
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: side of history. But it's definitely going to be a
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: close call, and there's a lot of variables. You know.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: It depends on how many Arabs come and vote. It
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: depends how many ultra Orthodox come and vote. There's a
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: lot of different factors here. There's parties that can either
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: make it into the Knesset with four seats, but if
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: you don't get four seats, so you don't get in
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: at all, and then those votes get redistributed. So there's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a lot of different factors of complicated parliamentary system which
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: will determine whether or not Nathaniel ultimately wins the election.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Let me go back to President Trump, because the consensus
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: is that the President is upset because BB would not
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: endorse that fifteen point plan. Because BB's right, Okay, we're
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: not gonna leave when I say, wait, Israel, because I'm
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: America first, in Israel second, and I'm okay saying that. Okay,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: We've always been like that. That's why we've had this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: great relationship. Not going to leave Gaza unless Harmas puts
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: down their weapons and leaves Harmas is saying, nah, you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: leave first. That would be suicidal, that would be stupid
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: by BIB. So of course BBE is saying no. But
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Trump is pissed. That's what I'm hearing. Trump is pissed.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: So no endorsement for BIB. Two things, is that the
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: truth what I'm hearing, And secondly, does PB even need
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: President Trump's endorsement?
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Well, when Israel entered into the ceasefire agreement with Hamas,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: that was part of a twenty point plan that was
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: broken by the President of the United States that called
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: for the creation of the Board of Peace, And basically
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: item number one on the twenty point plan was that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Hamas was going to be disarmed, that Gaza was going
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to be demilitarized and deradicalized as conditions for any if
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: further is rarely withdrawal. And I already withdrew from the
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: positions that held during the war to this yellow line,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: which is a halfway position, and Gaza is already did
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that as part of the ceasefire agreement. But any further
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: withdrawals require as part of the ceasefire plan, Hamas's disarmament,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: and the very idea that now the Board of Peace
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: would recommend changing the terms to say that Hamas doesn't
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: need to actually disarm, but we want Israel to withdraw.
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think Nathaniell is perfectly correcting his ground
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: there and saying, we have a deal. We signed the deal.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: It's your twenty point plan, and we're going to stick
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: to that plan. We're not going to change it and
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: take out the conditions about Kamas disarming. So I think
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that the you know, whether Trump, whether the anonymous sources
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: are saying that Trump is upset, what you do see
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: is that the the statements that are coming out of
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: the Board of Peace continue to validate what Nathanial is saying,
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: and they're making arrangements shared Kusher Nikolai Mladenov to go
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: back to the original terms and try to figure out
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: how do we actually disarmed Comas, which is what they
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: were supposed to do to begin with. So I think
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that you know, these these reports about riffs between Trump
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and Natanille, I mean, this has been NonStop since Trump
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: got back into office, and I think that they're overblown
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: with regard to with regard to an endorsement for natal
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: There'sraeli elections season is very compact and an endorsement now
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: might not be as impactful as an endorsement towards the
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: end now. Also, you can look at some of the elections.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Trump's been very bold and endorsing candidates, but he also
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: endorsed his good friend, and natanial is good friend, Victor
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Orbon in Hungary during your recent election, and Orbon didn't
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: ultimately win the election. So you know, I don't know
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: so much if the endorsement would swing more votes in
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Neataniell's favor. What I could tell you is that if
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: if Trump doesn't endorse Nathanial or intentionally says I'm not
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: backing Nataniale, that could probably swing votes away from Netanelle
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: because there are a number of people here in Israel
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: that recognize that the person who understands how to work
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with a very mercurial leader in Donald Trump is Netanal.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And if Trump's saying, look, I don't want to work
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: with this guy anymore, that could definitely harm Nataniale at
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: the polls. But I highly doubt that Trump is going
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: to come out and endorse a different candidate.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Alex tremannde CEO of JNS dot org, so I know
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the answer to this but the audience may not how
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: many children, Alex, do.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: You have five children?
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Five and all five of your children went to school
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: in Israel? Yes?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Correct?
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Correct? Okay, So when we talk about why there is
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: so much disdain for Israel around the world, the lies
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that Israel's genocidal. No, they're not stupid. Genocide was the Holocaust.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Israel is defending themselves, okay. And they use the numbers
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: from the Palestinian Health Ministry, which is a moss, to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: determine that Israel is killing babies. And it's all lies,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: all lies. Okay, we know that already. And there's a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: certain group of people that have this cult like following.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: That's all. It is, cult like. They're not real. Okay,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: who cares about? How many people watch that dumb podcast?
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: And it's Megan Kelly and it's and Owens, and it's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: led by the worst of the worst talker Carlson, who
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: manages to lie about Israel almost every day. Last week
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I played a clip of him and Hunter Biden want
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about two guys you can really trust? And
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in that clip, Hunter Carlson mentioned Israel four times in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: forty six seconds, blamed Israel for everything from pedophilia to
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: the laptop that Hunter Biden, you know, got into trouble for.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: So this is what talker Carlson had to say yesterday
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: about mathematics classes in Israel. Please tell me you're not
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: sitting because you'll pull off your chair. Cut number four.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: How could this happen? Well, because for some Israelis, a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: significant number of Israelis, Christian iconography is considered deeply offensive.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: In fact, the most offensive, so offensive that in some
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Israeli religious schools the plus sign is not used in math.
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: The plus sign, you know that connotes addition. Why because
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: it looks like a cross, and that's considered too offensive
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: for the eyes of school children, and so an inverted
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: tea is used. That's a fact. You can look it up.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: That's a fact.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: There's only one other instance we've seen of this in
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: the world, and that's in Isis run Madrasis where the
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: cross was also considered offensive. This is not true in
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: any normal Muslim country they use plus signs, but not
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: in Israeli religious schools. So everybody is allowed to have
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: their own religious views and to find other people's symbols repugnant,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: but it might be useful for Christians in the United
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: States to know what they are funding and making.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Excuses for funding.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: But of course they don't know this because this information
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: somehow hasn't reached them, So that they're watching CBN, they're told,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: don't pay attention. You must be liberal if you're drawing conclusions.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: All right, So again, you about five children and go
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: to school in Israel. I've seen, because I've been to
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Israel many times more than Talker, the beautiful relationship between
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Jews and Christians all over Israel, alex living in perfect harmony,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: perfect unity. Jews have no issue zero with Christians. So
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: when Tucker Crosson says it's a fact, not his opinion,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: not he's heard, not maybe, and they do this all
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the time, that side. Everything's a fact. It's a fact
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that they don't use plus signs in Jewish schools in
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: Israel because it looks like a cross. Did your five
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: kids learn math? Did they see plus signs?
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Well, my kids learn math, and their calculators have plus
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: signs on them. But if you open up the textbooks
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of Jewish kids and religious schools and other schools for
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: that matter, you will see that the plus sign is
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: actually an upside down tea and you don't have the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: bottom of the plush, and it is like that. And
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: there is a tradition that dates all the way back
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: to Europe where they were teaching math like that, and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it just became something kind of canonized. I don't think
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: most Israelis even know why the tea is like that
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: or not like that.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: So what is so see the way Tucker makes it sound,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: he makes it sound like the majority of the schools,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: you know Israel, Israel does this. What would you say
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: is a percentage of schools that Tucko is talking about.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: I think most of the textbooks, many, if not most
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: of the textbooks in Israel have plus the math books
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: as an inverted capital T and not a traditional plus
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: ligne that actually does happen, but it's not like being
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: taught in math. That The reason why we have a
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: plus ligne like this is because we don't want it
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to look like a cross. Which, by the way, if
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: you just look at the way Palestinians learn math for
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: many years, you know they have math problems, which is,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: if you have ten Jews and you kill seven, how
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: many Jews are left? And that's called math. So we
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: don't have like ideological math but it is correct that
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the plus sign in Israeli schools is an inverted By
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: the way, the division sign is not aligned with the
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: dot on the top of the dot on the bottom.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: You just have a colon and that's a division sign.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: So what is exactly.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Are theming Christianity in that case?
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not being taught. It's not being taught
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: to slam Christianity. But there are Jews that say, you know,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: don't don't utilized symbols of other religions, and and you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Christians and Jews can get along great in Israel, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: Israel prides itself on freedom of consciousness, freedom of worship.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: You know, the churches are beautiful and Jersalem they have
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: the most beautiful and the largest properties over the city.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: If I took you on a helicopter tour of this
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: city and I didn't tell you what city it was,
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: and I asked you to define which is the dominant
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: religion in the city from the Hellic tour, you'd say
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: that Jerusalem is a Christian city because Israel protects all
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: these places. But that doesn't mean that Jews like to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: show Christian symbols and their homes or in their school
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: books or you know so, but that's that's okay. Yeah,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: Christians can can worship Christian symbols and however they want,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and Jews can worship however they want and can put
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: whatever symbols they want.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. Great job, Alex. That's why you're here because
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you can tell us exactly what's going on, and nobody
