  Speaker 1: Congratulations, Sid, on your induction into the New York State
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Broadcasters Hall of Fame. I completely agree with President Trump.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable it took them so long. Sid, you've not
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: only become one of the great voices of New York
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and America, you're one of the greatest voices of truth
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: for Israel. And there's a reason you have such an
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: enormous audience. You don't blabber woke nonsense. You don't tell
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: people what the fashionable crowd thinks they should hear. You
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: tell them the truth. the hard truth, and you tell
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: it with passion, with humor, and with absolutely no fear. Sid,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I want you to know, Israel knows who its friends are.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: You've stood with us when it was popular, and more importantly,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: when it wasn't. That means a great deal to me.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: It means a great deal to the people of Israel.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: So thank you, Sid, and congratulations. The Hall of Fame
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: just got a lot louder and a lot better.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: My next guest is a guy that not only collected
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: nearly 700 wins, 694 wins as one of the greatest
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: college basketball coaches of all time. But he's America first, too.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: He loves President Trump. He loves our country. And he
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: loves Israel, too. And I've been to Israel with this man.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: In fact, the last two years in a row, we
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: spoke in the same exact block at the JNS.org International
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Policy Summit. Same block, which includes people like Mark Levin
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and Bibi Netanyahu. One of the greatest coaches ever and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: best guys ever, my dear friend Bruce Pearl.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Coach Pearl, how are you, buddy?
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: It is great to be with you this morning and
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: muzzle tough and congratulations on two weeks. That's going to
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: be a great honor. But you know what? Your father
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: is very, very happy and he's very, very pleased to
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: witness the great prime minister of the state of Israel,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: Bibi Netanyahu, absolutely nailing it. and giving the credit where
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: credit's due. But you know what? I know you don't
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: do it for the credit. I know you do it
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: because you believe in this country and you want what's
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: great for this country. And you know what's great for
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: this country is to be a close and have a
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: strong relationship with the state of Israel. And, you know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: say when I look at different situations, I say, well,
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: let's look at them the other way around. Let's look
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: at them the other way around. Let's just say, all right,
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Israel decided that, you know what, it was in their
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: best interest to be an ally with Russia or China
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: or Iran. or North Korea. That would be devastating to
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: our country. The greatest ally we have is one of
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the most powerful, innovative, smartest countries in the world, in
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: the state of Israel. Well, we'd be better off if
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Hamas and Hezbollah and the Islamic Jihad and the Muslim
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: Brotherhood were our close allies and Israel was our enemy.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: I don't think so.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: No, but when you've got a really stupid public, a
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: moronic public that doesn't understand what Israel provides for the
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: United States, all they say is, why is my tax-paying
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: money going to another country? I thought President Trump was
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: America first. Why are we fighting this war in Iran
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: because of Bibi and because of Israel and all my
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: taxpayer money going to Israel?
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Now, look, the truth is.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: When you say that, okay, you're not smart.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: You're not financially smart. You're an anti-Semite. You can talk
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: till your face turns blue.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Everybody who says stuff like that has also said stuff
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: in the past, which is 1,000% anti-Semitic.
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: But that's all you hear. What good is an ally?
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I got to spend my taxpayers' money on a nation
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: outside the United States that also, mind you, as the
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: mayor says every day, is committing genocide?
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not okay with that. Isn't that disgusting, Bruce?
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: It is disgusting. You know, I remember the great Lindsey
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Graham when Prime Minister Netanyahu was being really sensitive to
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: what our country was going through and was recognizing that
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: we were losing a public relations battle because $ 3. 8 billion
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: was the number that supposedly was being given to Israel.
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: Of course, that's not true. 3.4 of the $ 3. 8 billion
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: is reinvested back in U.S. manufacturing, U.S. military, U.S. science, U.S. technology, $ 3. 4 billion.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Lindsey Graham, the day Bibi Netanyahu said that, famously called
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: him and said, Bibi, what the hell are you doing?
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: What are you doing? Do you realize Boeing is right
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: here in my state? I'll be damned if you're going
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: to give up that money and stop buying products from Boeing.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: It's just, it is such a, you know, it's such
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: a lie. We give more money to about 25 different
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: countries in the world than the state of Israel.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And they give us nothing. And by the way, those
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: countries give us nothing, Bruce. Those countries give us nothing
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in return. Nothing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: Nothing. Well, listen. People want to hide their anti-Semitism. It's
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: not that I hate Jews. It's not. It's not that
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: I'm jealous of them. It's not that I think they
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: control things. They have too much power. It's just that
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: I don't like Bibi or anti-Zionist. They don't even know
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: what Zionism means. Zionism means that the Jews have a
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: right to be able to live in their ancestral homeland.
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: The Jews.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: It's like the Chinese have a right to live in China.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: The Japanese have a right to live in Japan. The
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Jews have a right to live in Judea. It's not
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: that difficult.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Well, it is difficult if you also buy the lie
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and spew the lie, regurgitate the lie that it's not
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: their land, that it's Palestine. And they force the Palestinians
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: out and they murder the Palestinians every day to ensure
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: that that's their land. And mind you, there have been
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: wars between the Jews and the Arabs, and the Jews
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: win it every single time. And then what happens is
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a bunch of nice Jewish kids are on the way
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: to get pizza at Sparrow's and they blow the bus up.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: or they storm a community on a Shabbat holiday morning
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and wipe out 1,300 people and rape the little girls
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: in the streets. So, yeah, there's been violence back and
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: forth between Israel and the Arabs for decades. But when
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Israel wins, okay, and it's their land, you got all
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: these morons who never go to Israel, Bruce, all these
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: people on Staten Island and Brooklyn, all these people, they
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: think they know what they're talking about in New Jersey.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: They have no idea what they're talking about, okay? Israel,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: that's our land, yes or no?
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Yes, it is 100% our land. Sid, one of the
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: reasons why I take teams to Israel, I've helped take
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: my Auburn basketball team, University of Arizona, Kansas State, through
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Athletes for Israel. These kids get off the plane, they
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: go to the beaches of Tel Aviv, and they come
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: to me and they go, Coach, Like, these people are
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: darker than we are, right? It's unbelievable. Or I take
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: them to the streets of Jerusalem, and then I coach.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: It's like one of every three or four families, they
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: kind of look like they're Arab. And I'm saying, guys,
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: that's because they are. About 25% of the population of
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: the state of Israel is Arab. Right. And they're citizens,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: and they're welcome to live there. Hey, Sid, I want
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: to ask your listening audience, who is an incredibly educated
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: listening audience, to do me a personal favor. All right.
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: Why do we call the West Bank the West Bank?
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: And why don't we call it Judea and Samaria? I've
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: got a real a real short story for you. The
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: answer is that in 1948, when Israel was established, obviously
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: they went to war and thank God they survived. But
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: you know what they lost? They lost a large portion
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: of East Jerusalem to Jordan. Jordan invaded and we were
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: able to stop them in Jerusalem. But they took over
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: all of East Jerusalem. What's in East Jerusalem right now?
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: The Western Wall, the Garden of Gethsemane, the Church of
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: the Holy Sepulchre. So many of the holy sites of
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: the Bible were taken over by Jordan, and they owned
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: it from 1948 to 1967. In 1950, they renamed that
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: land the West Bank, the West Bank of the River Jordan.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: That's what they renamed it. They captured it. They murdered Jews.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: They burned synagogues. They destroyed tourists, okay? Why do we
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: call it the West Bank? When Jesus... in the Bible,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: goes to meet the woman at the well. He says
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: he had to walk through Samaria, not the West Bank.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: So when your listeners and their children pick up their
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: Bible and they read about Samaria, they're going to be
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: confused and not know where it is because the world
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: wants to call it the West Bank. And I ask
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: your listeners and I ask our friends, call it what
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: Jesus called it. That's right. Call it what the Bible
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: calls it over 150 times, Judea and Samaria. That's how
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: crazy this entire argument is.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: That's a beautiful job right there, Coach Pearl, really. And,
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: you know, listen— The Christian people have been great to
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: the Jewish people. I look at the work Yael Eckstein
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: does and, you know, partners in all of this. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: when they're not, when I, you know, hear about or
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: see or even know Christian people that talk badly about
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Israel and the Jews, I have no patience for them.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: They're idiots. The truth is... Wake up, folks.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: There would be no Christianity without Judaism, okay? Jesus Christ
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: was Jewish. The Old Testament was there first. And when
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: you go to church, which I've done many times, right
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: here at St. Patrick's, I even got answers a couple
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: of years ago, you hear about Abraham and all the
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: same names you heard about thousands of years before in Judaism.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: So if you're a Christian... and you go out of
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: your way to badmouth the Jews, you're a moron. You
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have Christianity without Judaism. Is that a fair statement?
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: It's a completely fair statement. I'm going to offer a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: little bit more grace, and here's why. The enemy, whether
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: it's the devil, or whether it's the spiritual enemy, or
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: whether it's our enemies like the Muslim blood, the Muslim
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: jihad or people that want to destroy us. They can't
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: get us. China, Russia, they can't get us yet militarily.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: So what are they trying to do? They're trying to
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: destroy us from within. They're taking advantage of the freedoms
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: that we have in our country, you know, through social
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: media and through higher education, all the different ways. And
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: they're educating these younger people to believe all the lies
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: and all the falsehoods. We let millions of Jew haters
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: in in illegal immigration, and it's become a factor. And
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: so right now, one of the things that we're combating
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: is this replacement theology, and that is there are some
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Christians that would like to replace Jerusalem and Israel with
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: just the church. They want to pick up the story
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: from the time they say Jesus rose. resurrected. They want
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: to go from there. Hey guys, that's what 12 Jewish men,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: in addition to Jesus, 12 Jewish men died, horrific deaths,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: bringing Christianity to the world. These were Jewish men that
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: believed in Jesus and spread the gospel. And you know,
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: the one thing as a Jew, the one thing I'm
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: kind of glad about, I'm glad about it. I'm glad
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: that that Jesus brought our faith and our relationship and
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: connection to God to the rest of the world. Isn't
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: it awesome that Catholicism can be Catholicism or there can
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: be Christianity or Protestant, all these different forms. Without Jesus
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: and his disciples, we never may have been able to
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: share the Lord that chose us that we know. Did
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: it create some hardship for us? Did it create some
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: problems for us? Did it help create antics? Sure it did,
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: but you know what? I'm glad my Christian brothers and
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: sisters get to worship and honor and love the very
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: same God that you and I do. And I still
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: think it's worth the price and the pain that we've
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: got to go through so that the rest of the
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: world gets an opportunity to share in our God.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more. God, you're so good, Bruce Pearl.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, do you? I know you're a coach. I
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: know nobody speaks better than coaches.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: You know, Marco Rubio was so inspiring in Athens, Greece yesterday,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: but you guys are inspiring with your kids today.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Almost every day.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: And look, I know college basketball season is right around
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the corner, so.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: It's a two-part question. Do you miss it?
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: You know, I know your son's out there, but do
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: you miss going out there and getting practice and talking
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: to the team and getting ready for SEC basketball? And
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: do you apply a lot of the things you're talking
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: about with me today to your speeches to the kids?
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Sid, I do. I would just say this. I'd ask
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: anybody that's listening, I ask you, I was in college
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: basketball for 48 years. I was a head coach for
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: 30 years. It's a long, long time. To be great,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: you've got to be relentless. To be relentless, you've got
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: to be all in. And what I began to find
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: late in my career is there were some things other
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: than just coaching these kids and basketball that were more
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: important to me. My love of my country, my love
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: of my ancestral doer's homeland, my love of my family.
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: And quite honestly, you know, the basketball thing was aging me.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: You know, coaches age in dog years, 7, 14, 21.
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, you know, and look, Sid, a year later,
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: people look at me and go, Coach, you look great.
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: You lost a little weight.
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: You do look great.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: And I just thought that when I couldn't give my
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: guys all of me, 100% of me, I said, you
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: know what? It's time to step aside. Dana Altman, the
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: great coach at Georgia, just did the same thing yesterday.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Bo Ryan before his season in Wisconsin. A lot of coaches,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: you know, will kind of go right up until the moment.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: So if I can do it, I think I can.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: You know what? I can't do this. I've got to
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: give it to that next generation. And I'm going to
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: do something else. And it's giving me more time out
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: to hang out with great friends like you.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: God, I love you.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: And boy, did you look good the last time I
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: saw you. Your tan was actually better than mine. One
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: more for you, Bruce.
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: People of color said.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: I know. People of color.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: We are.
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: You and I are.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: You talked about how other things became very important, and
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: you mentioned America first. You are America first.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: So am I.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: We are America first and Israel second, which every American
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: should be. America first, Israel second. But you talked about
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: your ancestral homeland, Israel. So it's a very simple question.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: What did you do yesterday to commemorate three years of
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: that awful day?
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Well, I talked to Scott Jennings. I talked to Brian Kilmeade.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: You called me, and I missed your message. I was
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: going to talk to you. You know what I did, Sid?
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: I talked to my kids. I called each one of
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: my children. Actually, my daughter called me and she asked
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: me how I was doing. And then I took up
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: on that and I called every single one of my
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: children and I asked them how they were today.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: How many kids do you have?
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: I have four children and five grandchildren, another one on
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: the way. And I think the thing that makes them
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: sad more than anything else is that when 46 Americans
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: were murdered on this day yesterday, Three years ago, 46
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: Americans were murdered at the hands of savages and barbarians.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: And the very next day, these kids on college campuses
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: are out there supporting the very people that that that
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: that raped them, that burned them, that tortured them. This
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: makes absolutely no sense. And you know what, Sid? I'm hopeful.
• 15:15
