• 0:53
  Speaker 2: back to Sid and Friends on the morning. Buddy, how
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: are you good morning?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Instead? Today is a great morning, you know, after the
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Nick's win yesterday, feeling good this morning.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I know you love the Nicks and I know you've
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: got Abe has about ninety kids. I don't know is
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: lovely white, Rachel. They keep hanging them out. I know
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: your little boys. They love the Knicks right, all of them, right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We love them, We love them. We were so happy
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: yesterday seeing the score, seeing the blowout. That's exactly what
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: we need against Philly Fisher.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: The last couple of games. You know, I was at
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: the Yankee game last night and they put the Nick
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: score on the scoreboard and it was seventy three fifty
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: one at halftime, and the crowd gave us, you know,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: nice applause. And so it's been easy the last two
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: days and hopefully they can keep that up. Now on
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: your job to be easy getting signatures for this petition.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: This flotilla thing all started really with Gretit Turnberg. She
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was the first famous name to end up on one
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: of these Palestinian flotilla's. These ridiculous morons. But tell us exactly,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Aby Hamra, what you're looking for. What you're looking for
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: my listeners or your residents to do.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so thank you for bringing me on, said honestly,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: this is an idea inspired by our horrendous mayor, Mayr
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Zora Mamdani when he saw the Gaza flotilla stopped or intercepted.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: He demanded an investigation and said that there could have
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: been violations of international law. Now, as an attorney, I
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: understand one hundred percent that there isn't. The Palmer report
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: from the UN already stated the legality of intercepting Ghaza
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: flotilla's when investigated that. But it did give me an idea.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Hold on a second, hold on a second, good be
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: quot let me before you move any brother, Gaza Flotilla's.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know the answer to this. I'm actually admitting ignorance. Again.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: I'm familiar with queeddit Turrenberg got idiot and uh for
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a while there, she was just a young kid who's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: been being taken advantage of. Not she's an idiot. When
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: you say Gaza flotilla's. Has there been a bunch of
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: these boats? A bunch?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: There has been a bunch of them. And this is
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: a repeated tactic. This isn't new, This isn't this is
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: decades old. The big international Gazzo flotilla incident happened in
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: twenty ten, where people said that Israel illegally sees the
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: vote in international waters and therefore is a violation of
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: international law. The UN actually investigated it and released something
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: called the Palmer Report, which indicated very clearly that Israel
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: had the authority to intercept and stop the Gaza Flotilla
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of twenty ten. Nothing legally has changed to change the
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: analysis of that decision.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, So CUTA is relatively old. It's what's been
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: what you're describing as a sixteen year old issue. Okay,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: So what's the next step now?
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: So the idea that I came with is okay. So
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: this investigation against the Israel's useless, but there is an
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: investigation that should be had. And there were eight Americans
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: at least, if I'm not mistaken, that we're on board
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: this flotilla. Now, this flotilla was organized by the PCPA.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: The US Treasury Department put the PCPA on its sanction
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: list on all fact sanctions and stated that they act
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: at the behest of hamas. The US government needs to
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: investigate each and every single American on board that flotilla
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: to make sure they did not violate the OPAC rules.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: And two they did not violate eighteen USC. Two three
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: three nine B, which is providing material support to a
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: terrorist organization. I feel that the Department of Justice should
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: take this on and should at least investigate these individuals.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: So I started a petition demanding the DOJ, you know,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: start an investigation. The petition is about a day old
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and we already have about thirteen hundred signatures. I'm really
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: looking to break ten to fifteen thousand by the end
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: of this week. So every single listener I need you,
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: we need your support. Please go to change dot org
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: forward slash Flotilla Terror and sign the petition. It takes
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: thirty seconds, and let's get these people investigated.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: Change dot org forward slash Flotilla Terror. And you want
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: to make sure that these people who are on these boats,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: who are doing nothing but causing trouble, they're investigated to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: the fullest.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely investigated for providing potentially providing material support to
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: terrorist organization, and but surely investigated for working with a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: sanctioned entity, the PCPA who organized this flow pilla. Doing
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that by itself can carry penalties of up to twenty
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: years in prison. So each and every single American should
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: be investigated by the DOJ. There's more than enough there.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: It's interesting, Abe, you're a Trump supporter, Can I say
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that or would you rather that end. Yeah, no, you're
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a Trump supporter, you're a proud Jewish and your great voice.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: You know, I limit the amount of people you're a friend,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: so it doesn't really count your family, but I limit
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the amount of influencers and people I bring on now
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: because I made the point earlier when Samantha Edis was
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: in studio that I think that we're starting to hurt
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: ourselves now. You know, we yelling and screaming every day
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and people have had enough. You know. Look, it's one
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: thing when you swastik is on a shool in Queens
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: like we did two days ago, or swastik is on
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a house or a man lived who survived the Holocaust,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: or what you're doing now with this flotilla. These are
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: important things and you got to bring it up. But
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: you know, every single day, every single day, to do
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: videos about something and I hate to say it, abe,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but somewhere down the road, people lose interest. I compare
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it to Nancy Guthrie. You know, it's like after a while,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: they don't want to hear it anymore. You know, the
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: plight of this, the plight of that, what is that? Now?
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: I said even worse? It could dilute a real issue.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Well, that's my point, right, and I feel like we
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: got right. We got nine thousand influencers and they're at
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: an event every night in the city. There's ninety million organizations.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: I've never heard of these people. I love my friend
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Michael Rapperport, he was on the show two days ago.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: This guy host Innis. I never heard of these people.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: And after a while, you start to dilute, like you
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: just said, the real issue. We still have issues. Anti
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Semitism is at an all time high, but we gotta
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: be careful because when you start yelling every day, you
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: do dilute the message. What do you think about that?
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I do agree, and I think the message is bigger
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: than anti Semitism is. The message really is reclaiming America's
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: identity and moving forward with in a future that is
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: sustainable for all of Americans. The issues that we're facing
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: as Jews are anti Semitic, are really symptoms of a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: major issue. It's not going to stop there. So I
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: do agree with you. I think we need to change
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: our approach a little bit and kind of take it
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: back from immediately charging at anti Semitism and then just
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: attack them on logic, on flaws and they're anti American
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: ideals that are leading to the moral rot and the
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: collapse of our societies and institutions that have brought us
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: to this point.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: You just said it perfectly, because when you go anti
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: American first, God, that was perfect, Tabe. I have no
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: idea how good that was when you say anti American first. No,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: I'm serious. Now you've invited everybody into the room, not
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: just people who go to shule to put on the
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: fill in. Now you've invited everybody into the room. And
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: if we're going to fix this these issues, including anisemitism,
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: you better get a helpy helping of Christians or your
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: dead meat. Bottom line.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, And you know what, at the end of the day,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: there's this instinct that we have that we need to
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: make people like us, that we need to prove our
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: value to society. I think our value is self evident
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: as Jews, as Americans, it is self evident what we
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: bring to the society. We do not need to convince anybody.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: We do not need to beg for their acceptance. It
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: is to their benefit our acceptance. Our rejection is going
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: to be to the detriment of those who are hating,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: who are trying to increase anti Semitism against US. Those
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: communities that get rid of their Jews never pan out.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: So really the issue again is are you American or
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: are you anti American ideals? In this petition the gods
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: of flotilla forget Jews? Do you really want Americans going
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: out there and supporting internationally designated terrorist organizations? Ninety eleven
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: happened here in New York, in America. This type of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: ideology affects US here as Americans, not just Jews.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: That's a terrific job. Give out the URL one more
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: time so folks can help out.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I really appreciate it. Change dot org forward slash
