Sukkot 2026 Message At OneLegUpAlex Media 10-3-26 · OneLegUpAlex Media

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Well, for this episode, I've
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: actually asked the Lord for protection on this one because
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I feel that when we try and defend the Jewish people,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: it becomes controversial, and I don't know why. being here
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of Jewish descent myself, I don't know why it is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: controversial to defend the Jewish people. But I ask God
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: for protection for this, because I really got disturbed and
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: thanked him and thanked the hero on the Dubai flight
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for thwarting a terrorist attack in the air And it
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: reminded me of Flight 93, that there was a Flight
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: 93 25 years ago. And when did this attempted terror
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: attack happen? When did October 7th happen? During the very
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: holy days of Sukkot. Now, I'm not as observant, so
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I don't really know Observe it as heavy, but there's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: no doubt that these attacks, especially October 7th, was designed
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: for terror during a Jewish holiday. And why can't the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Jewish people honor their holiday in peace? And furthermore, furthermore,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Why do those that attack Jewish people on the high holidays,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: on special holidays, why do they get a pass from
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the extreme left? Why? It's despicable to me. Because Jews, Christians,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we don't go and attack Muslims on America. We do not.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: So why do radicals get a pass for attacking Jewish people?
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: It is infuriating. Thank God for this hero this past
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: week on Fly Dubai or whatever the airlines call it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But it was about to happen again during Sukkot. And
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Jewish people have enough trauma with what happened three years
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: ago on October 7th, 2023. And I've designated that in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: my own life as another September 11th where it's not
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: right to go to anything entertaining on that day. So
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: the Yankees play game three on Wednesday night, October 7th.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: And I told, you know, Sherry and I, I told her,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: we're not going to go on the 7th. because it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: not right to go anywhere filled with joy on October 7th.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: Just like it's not right to go anywhere filled with
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the entertainment or joy on September 11th. And I have
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: a feeling, if I can go baseball for a second,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: the Yanks look that good that they could come up 2-0,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: but I'll take a split down in Tampa. I'll take
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: one and one. and come back to win Thursday night,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: which is, by the way, the 60th anniversary of Don
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Larson's perfect game. 70th anniversary.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: 70th anniversary.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: And we'll get to Lou Terminello with more sports convo
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: in a little bit. But, yeah, October 7th is game
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: three of the ALDS here in New York City. And
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to go. Because it's not right to
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: go to a joyous occasion on such a somber day.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Just like I don't believe it's right to point out
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: what's been happening in Gaza without acknowledging, well, guess what?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Hamas killed Jewish people, killed Israelis that day. So you
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: can go on about the You know, the sadness on
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the Gaza Strip, yes, you can. But don't say it
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: without context that the Jewish people were attacked that day
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: on October 7, 2020. But it is true that these
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: attacks seem to be planned. And I've said this over
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: time and time again. That one episode I talked about
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: how they were planning this for a year. And the
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Biden administration didn't do anything about it. Their intel here
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: in the United States, nothing about it. Hamas making trips
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: around the Middle East planning this and they didn't intervene.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: They didn't step in. Horrible. It will go down in
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: history as a debate of what Netanyahu could have done differently.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's for sure. But he was here in the U.N.,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this past week, and though he had Secret Service and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: all that, he was able to do his speech. And
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: just as the Jewish people are honoring Sukkot, the final weekend,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the mayor of all people, sarcastically saying that, Mayor Mamdani
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: has announced a lawsuit or a possible lawsuit to sue
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Columbia University to open their campus gates, which have been
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: locked for three years since the anti-Israel campus protests of 2023.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: The Mamdani administration, according to the New York Post, warned
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: it will take prompt legal action if College Walk, a
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: once-bustling footpath on West 116 that allows pedestrians to cut
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: across the school's Morningside High campus, isn't reopened immediately. Mamdani said, Tuesday,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I just want to lay out very clearly that what
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: we stated on that is that unlike the past administration,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: we do support the reopening of the walkway. And I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: do feel like there's a tinge of anti-Semitism. Well, what
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: do you mean? It's just a walkway. You know what
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: that walkway was used for?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: That walkway at Columbia was used to pitch tents in
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: protest of Israel, and vile, anti-Semitic things were said on
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: that campus.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: And I believe Jewish students were harmed as well. And
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: I could go over what Trump said at the UNGA,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: but it was kind of the same thing. Here was
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: what his remark of the week was during UNGA, and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: it wasn't even at the UN. It was this.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: I certainly hope he will be a great mayor. You
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: have to understand, I want what's good for New York.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I want what's good for the country. So if I
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: had a choice of having him be a bad mayor
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: or horrible mayor, I don't want that. I want him
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: to be a great mayor. And he's certainly got potential,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: got great potential. Does he have great potential, President Trump?
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, he did another thing now, and he's done things.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Which I believe have led to that synagogue being attacked.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: have led to Jews feeling very uncomfortable in New York City.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: And I kind of get, the two of them want
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: to get along for the better of New York. But
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: when Mayor Omdani does things like this, threatening to sue
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Columbia University for opening up, to open up their campus
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: again after the trauma that they had gone through, after
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the tense that were, after the vileness that was on
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that campus. Mayor Mamdani is not reading the room. And
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: for this to come out on Sukkot weekend, for this
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: possible lawsuit, an announcement of possible lawsuit, to come out
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: during the weekend, shouldn't he be standing with his Jewish
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: brothers and sisters, as he keeps saying, and not threatening
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to sue? Which I think, if he opens up Columbia
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: University again, will make his will make Jewish students uncomfortable.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: That's really where I look at it. So on a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: weekend where thousands of Jewish New Yorkers are going to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: be closing out the holiday of Sukkot, which, by the way,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I researched a little bit more about this study, and
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it marks the booths, the elements that they had to
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: deal with during their 40 years in the wilderness. Yeah.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I learned this on the way to the prophecy. So
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: this is why they eat in the tent, they pray
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: in the tent. And though maybe those on the outside
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: don't understand it, I don't really fully get it either.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: It's their tradition, Jewish tradition, and we personally would let
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: them celebrate that. Secondly, we must honor. And I feel
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: like Mamdani coming out with this news on Sukkot weekend
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: is not by accident, because he knows what happened at
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: Columbia University in 2023. He knows the anti-Semitism that was
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: on the campus in 2023. He can't be that dumb.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: He didn't get elected mayor because he's dumb. He got
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: elected because he's and just smile away everything, and all
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that other stuff, and jump in the pool, and be charming,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: and even charm President Trump. So then President Trump says this,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: but this is where Benjamin Netanyahu came in, and was
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: really the, and I hate to call it this way,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but the adult in the room in New York City. Mr.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: Mamdani, since you were elected mayor of this city, Many
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Jews no longer feel safe in New York. They talk
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: to me. They tell me. This isn't the city we remember.
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: It changed so quickly. Now it's no wonder. You place
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: criminals convicted of supporting Hamas. You count as friends people
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: like Hassan Piker who said America deserved 9-11. America deserved 9-11.
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: Some friends you have. You invite into your home a
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: Palestinian journalist who filled Hamas terrorists, beating and torturing Israeli hostages,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: and later admitted that he refused to publish the videos
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: in order to protect, you guessed it, the terrorists. Your
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: wife liked the post praising the October 7th massacre. She
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: liked another post saying Tel Aviv shouldn't exist. You refused
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: to condemn any of that. You've falsely, repeatedly accused Israel
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: of genocide. Mr. Mamdani, you try to stop me from
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: coming here. You try to silence me. Well, you can't
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: silence me. You can't silence the truth. And here's the
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: simple truth. Here's the simple truth. Israel didn't commit genocide.
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: Israel prevented genocide. And that's exactly, that's exactly what Mr.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Mamdani's Hamas buddies would have done to us had we
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: not stopped them.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I want to stop it there. Now, I get where
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: he's coming from. Because Hamas does hide underneath civilians. And
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that's the real problem. That's the real problem. And I'll
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: tell you, as soon as he got in that room,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of people there. Despite all the walkouts,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: there were a lot of people there. I think this
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: is at the point where he's about to say, shame
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: on you, Mayor. Let's take a look.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: And the Jewish state. have real consequences. In New York,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Jews are threatened on the way to synagogue. Jews have
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: been stabbed in the streets. Jews are demonized. They're targeted
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: simply for being Jews. Jews have been murdered in Sydney, Manchester, Montreal, Boulder, Colorado.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: They've been attacked in Los Angeles, London, Paris, Berlin, Washington, D.C.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: The anti-Semites of the world Want to terrify our people.
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: I have news for them. The days when Jews were
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: defenseless victims marched to the slaughter. Those days are over.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: I say this. Shame on you. Shame on you for
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: distorting the facts. Say what you want.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: A pretty powerful statement there from Benjamin Netanyahu. And I'll
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: tell you I've had my issues with him, but on
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Mom Donahue, he's right. On Mom Donahue, he's right. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: now this news of a potential lawsuit to allow a
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: walkway that was terrorizing, terrorizing.
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: And look, just.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: A couple months before that, me and my mom walked
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: through that campus for a very special NICU reunion. And
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the campus got ransacked. They got ransacked.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: There were people that were throwing bricks at historic buildings
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: at Columbia University just to make a point. These a-hole
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: protesters were ordering DoorDash while being anti-Semitic. And that's when
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: he wants to reopen the possibility, the threat, And this
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: past week, with a pilot about to commit terror in
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: the skies against Jewish people, can TSA roll back their
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: policy on allowing non-travelers to the gate? That's a policy
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: I'd like to see. But I do believe Colombia should
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: not be public, especially after the trauma of 2023-2024. They
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: should not be public. And for Mamdani to even think
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: about suing them for that. He knows what he's doing.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He's not done. And it's just another example of how
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: anxiety and fear and nervousness are being thrown at Jewish
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: people's way on their holiday, on the holiday, on the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: High Holidays. Let Jewish people, Orthodox, informed, non-observant, just let
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: them honor their holidays in peace. You can't celebrate them.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: But let them honor their holidays in peace. Because they
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: don't go around attacking others on their holiday. And it's
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: just not that when they're attacked, the attackers are let off.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It should not be. And you know better, Mayor O'Donnell,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: than to talk about a lawsuit about reopening that walkway,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: which led to horrors for the Jewish students on that
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: campus and across the country. Think about it. Think about it.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: And just let Jewish people celebrate and honor their holiday
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: the way they're meant to. And yet, to Jewish New
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Yorkers who will probably listen to this after this talk,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I love the TikTok I saw the other day which said,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the thing that makes the Jewish people strong is Is
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: the verse. Be not afraid. And I'm going to say
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: it here. Do not be afraid. And do not be anxious.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And that's my message. At one leg of that. This
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: is Sukkot.
