What do you think, I'm Israel, you're the Palestinians in Gaza, if every one of
the people in Gaza laid down the arms and stopped attacking, what would I,
Israel, do to you?
It's a good question.
Nothing.
They've tried it.
Five different times.
They literally, like, stop attacking.
Israel has never, not one time in history, initiated any conflict.
Every single one of those things that you're pointing to is a retaliatory
attack by a terrorist organization.
But if that was switched, where I, Israel, you, Hamas in Gaza, I take all of my
arms and all of my protection and I laid them down, what would Hamas do?
They'd kill every single one of us.
That's what they do.
That's what they're sworn to do.
That's their motto and the origin of their existence.
It's all the way back to the Grand Mufti traveling to Hitler to ask, how do we
solve the Jewish problem?
Like, you want to follow from the Muslim brother, Hamas to the Muslim Brotherhood,
all the way back to the Grand Mufti, to Mujahideen.
And you see the origins of, like, one thing, which is how do I solve the Jewish
problem, is to eradicate and kill them.
That is what Hamas came from.
Not the Palestinians.
Not those poor people stuck in Gaza.
But in that problem, if all of Hamas just went away, we would have peace.
If they laid down their arms and they stopped murdering innocent civilians and
raping women and killing babies, you'd have peace.
If the other side laid down their arms, they would all be murdered, all seven
and a half million of them.
Until they just were walking in blood through the Jordan River.
How do you solve this problem?
The radicals have to be eliminated.
The terrorists have to go away.
That is not, I'm not, I'm not conflating the Palestinians and the terrorists.
Those are separate things.
But if there's two and a half million people that are living in Gaza that are
allowing 30,000 terrorists to run them.
At some point, the olive branch cannot be extended from Israel when 30,000
people are using that region to launch attacks into their sovereignty.
And we were talking about the propaganda that exists in America.
What about the propaganda that exists in Palestine?
I mean, what is their thought?
Oh, it's crazy.
Yeah.
So, like, did you see the hospital that got destroyed?
Well, it didn't really, right?
No, it did not really.
No, but the New York Times said it did.
Yes, it did.
The New York Times said it was in Israel.
And Congresswomen.
Which is insane.
And they didn't retract it.
You take horse dewormer and Israel destroyed a hospital.
Yeah.
So evil.
It's so crazy that they printed that in the New York Times.
I mean, that's the paper of record.
That's the most important newspaper that we have in America.
In terms of if we wanted an objective source of information, most people say,
what's the best?
Look, I used to deliver the New York Times when I was a kid.
And I did it.
It wasn't even that profitable.
I delivered the Boston Globe as my main newspaper that I delivered.
And then I delivered the Boston Herald as well.
And then I got a New York Times route.
And I was proud of that.
Because the New York Times was the real newspaper that intelligent people read.
And it was a different plastic wrapper.
Yeah, yeah.
You got a clear wrapper for the Herald and a clear wrapper for the Globe.
But for the New York Times, I got a blue wrapper.
And I was like one of the people that got to deliver the New York Times.
And I remember thinking as a 20-year-old kid, like, oh boy, I'm delivering the
New York Times.
And when I would drop the paper off at these people's houses, like, that's a
fucking smart house.
These people are reading the New York Times and Boston.
And I remember thinking that.
I was proud of that.
That I delivered the best newspaper in the world.
Really.
I literally wasn't that much money.
And it was a crazy route.
Because I'd have to go, like, a mile in between houses.
Whereas, like, with the Boston Globe, I'd have, like, five, six houses on one
street that I would drop off papers to.
And the New York Times, I'd have this fucking crazy route.
I'd have to go all over the place to get rid of a hundred newspapers.
Yeah.
And then now, in 2023, they're circulating terrorist propaganda.
Yeah.
And with no...
With no recourse.
No repercussions.
And what do they make?
Do they even print a retraction?
Do they say, we fucked up?
You watch a missile get launched from Gaza.
Do you know one-third of all missiles that are launched from Gaza land in Gaza?
Do you know how...
Like, think about how sad that is.
Is that real?
28% of missiles launched from Hamas land on top of the Palestinian people.
Jesus Christ.
And obviously, they have no ability to direct any military target when these
crappy missiles are being launched into Israel.
They're just, like, populated area.
Populated.
I went and did a Fox News stand-up in the city directly north of Gaza.
That is the most rocketed city in all of Israel.
And then, like, the one day that we were there, we had, like, six rocket attack
sirens go off.
You know, it's the weirdest thing that the Palestinians are allowing Hamas to
literally kill them and pillage everything about their existence from them.
Hamas is so rich and so powerful.
$70 million from Iran.
You know, every humanitarian ship that comes into the port or, right now, that
is being brought up through the Rafa Gate via Egypt into the south portion of
Gaza,
the moment that lands there, that is taken control of by Hamas.
They then build underground infrastructure in the tunnels, and they build
military infrastructure, and then they turn, as whatever they can, into rockets.
And the humanitarian aid that is supposed to be distributed to the people, they
have control of.
They have to go.
Not the Palestinians.
They have been so screwed by Hamas.
But the propaganda that they encounter in Palestine has to be insane.
Yeah, they believe that they're on the good side.
How do they sift through fact from fiction when what they're being told and
being fed is being fed to them by Hamas?
Like, how do you...
How do you...
How do they get access to other information?
And how do they ever, like, organize and discuss this openly without fear of
losing their lives and being tortured?
The only time that you had consistent water and power going into Gaza was when
Israel was controlling Gaza.
Now that Hamas is running it, it is just, it is nightmarish in there.
But they're still in charge.
And they're being protected.
And here in the United States being, like, called freedom fighters.
Like, they are barbaric murderers and absolute terrorists that want nothing
besides the genocide of...
When I saw, like, when I saw, like, the LGBTQ flags of LGBTQ stands with Hamas,
mind is blown.
Isn't it hilarious that you...
Have you ever seen that meme that it says, queers for Palestine and then
Palestine for queers?
Like...
Yeah.
They wouldn't live...
They wouldn't live there, like...
No.
...hours.
They'd be pushed off a rooftop or burnt alive.
Immediately.
But they don't...
But the narrative in this country is not that.
It's...
Which is so strange.
I don't know.
That, like, there's sort of overwhelming evidence about the approach that they
have to gay people.
Yeah.
But yet, somehow or another, there's this I stand with Palestine thing that
makes you a progressive.
Go to Tel Aviv as a gay person.
Walk around with your gay pride shirt with your husband or wife of the same sex.
Nobody will bat an eye at you.
Nobody cares.
Everybody's like, what up?
You know, like...
Yeah.
Normal.
Man, if she and her wife tried to walk down the road in Gaza, bro, man.
You know, and it is so...
This tinderbox that is that region with the West Bank, with the Golm Heights of
the north, with Hezbollah, which is being supported by Iran.
They're all positioned on the border, you know, with Iraq allowing people from
Afghanistan, the Taliban, to move through.
The Taliban being funded by us, $40 million right now, is what we're
continually giving them, the Taliban.
Why do we do that?
I don't know.
I don't know.
What's the cynical side of you?
We want to recognize them as a legitimate government, and we are paying for
them to start a democratic process of, like, that is the, I think, would be the
tagline of what we want them to do.
What it is actually doing is the same thing that happens when we release $6
billion to Iran in exchange for hostages.
They then take that $6 billion.
No, they're not using that exact money to fund terrorism with Hezbollah or Hamas,
but I have one bank account that has an additional $6 billion in it.
And now I'm able to spend $6 billion over here to finance other things that are
going to destabilize the nation that I have sworn to eradicate Israel and
America.
So, like, cool, I'll happily give some more money to, they've been planning
this for four years.
The Quds, like the Iranian special operations guys, training and preparing Hamas,
advising on how to execute this, how do they get the intelligence to know what
direction they need to fly with their paragliders, which areas, which, you don't
think they had scouts in all the kibbutzes around Gaza to identify which houses
they're going to be targeting.
How did they find all that stuff out?
The people that Israel was allowing out of Gaza to work as agricultural workers,
they were going into these areas, into these kibbutzes, into these houses, into
these villages, doing recons for Hamas.
So then when Hamas launched their attack on October 7th, they'd been funded.
There's this amazing book called The New Rules of War.
And The New Rules of War lines out all of the ways that America is not prepared
to fight a war by non-state actors, by corporations, by cartels, by violent
extremist organizations using proxy methods.
So, like, we are at war with Iran, period.
They are funding every single group that just attacked our American base in
Syria, that attacked our American base in Iraq, that attacked and killed a
bunch of Americans in Israel.
That was funded by Iran and trained by Iran.
But we don't have the appetite to try and fight the war that they're fighting
because they're doing it in just such a—we want that World War II, right?
We want Patton standing on top of a tank, coming across, being like, there's Rommel,
go and get him.
Like, that war is never going to happen again.
And we are just not ready to fight this new type of war under these new rules
of war, which is fighting non-state actors, fighting proxy wars, fighting
corporations funded by governments, fighting cartels that are getting subsidized
by governments,
all to destabilize the greatest nation to ever exist in the history of mankind,
us.
You were saying that you think we're more vulnerable now than we've ever been
before, and you're legitimately worried that the United States might fall.
I am more worried now because of the lack of preparedness of the individual.
Americans are fatter than they've ever been.
They are—even though there's more guns now owned, there are fewer per capita
owned by an individual with people that train regularly with them, people that
are able to provide and protect for their families.
All the metrics of measurements of, like, that family's going to be okay.
That is the smallest that it's ever been.
And our government right now is more vulnerable internationally than we've ever
been.
Our military is—even though I'm so proud to be a service member, I'm—you
know, when the Army tells me to do something, I 100% have no say whatsoever.
I've got to go and do it.
And I'm really proud to be part of the most elite fighting force on the planet.
I think we are the weakest that we've ever been for a variety of reasons.
When you put all of these things together and you just take a step back and,
like, the aggregate, like, the accumulation of all of these different factors
make me be like, holy crap, we are vulnerable.
And the only way to combat that is the individual to start taking their own
security and preparedness seriously.
Get less fat.
Get more healthy.
Go and train.
Go and buy a gun.
Go start exercising your freedoms.
Like, learn what it means to volunteer in your school.
So you have—like, cool, you can't start your own school.
Cool, you can't homeschool.
Well, get involved in your kid's school.
Like, you've got to do something because if we continue down the path that we're
in, we're done for.
Like, soon.
Not in, like, a generation.
Like, right now.
I'm scared.
I'm going to drink water.
Jesus Christ.
