Like raise your hand and then promptly pinch yourself in the face. Not that
what is violence on this show. I absolutely condone it in this particular case.
But you guys, look at his face. Is it just me?
Or does he have chin balls? Hi? Everybody, we were just remembering
John Scicata, John Sicata, just saying just another day in the eighties,
John Sicata. The reason that I was reminiscing about John Sicata, We'll don't
tell. We'll get to the reason. We'll get to the reason in a
bit. But it just reminded me of Cicada, Sccata, Tomato Tamata.
You know, Okay, live, we need to make sure that John Sicata
is alive. He's alive. He's still alive. He's sixty two years old.
I just looked it up. I just Wikipedia John Sicatta, something I
didn't think i'd be doing this week, but I did. In fact,
Wikipedia John Scatta. Everybody survived the eclipse. Everybody, Okay, the world
continues to be here. We're here. World has not ended were There has
been no rapture there. Anything is fine. People are like, dang it,
I know, really disappointed. There was no rapture. Yeah, it
was cool. Right, So, like as we were talking before show,
you know, we went out onto the back deck and had our little trusty
glasses on and things looked weird and shadowy and the light was super weird for
like a half an hour before and then it went like total and then we
looked at it and then we were like, it's cool, all right,
time to go on then, and we're done. Yeah, that's exactly what
we did. We just got by the pool and we were like, okay,
it's really neat. Look at that. It's just like and then on
the crickets came out. That was kind of neat that they came out,
because they're dumb, and they got there very confused. You could tell what
animals were dumb and what animals weren't. Our cows were like whatever, we
don't yeah. Our dog my dogs were a little weirded out. They were
like something is up. Yeah, And of course the birds all get quiet,
they did, yeah, and ours got Ours were kind of frozen,
you know. Our dogs just kind of stood there like, what what's even
going on right now? Like somebody should we be eating right now? Right?
There's time dinner. It's all about the food. It's all about it.
Yeah, the rooster. The cows just went about their business because they
just didn't care. They were just like, whatever, we're going to keep
crazing. That's exactly what they did, because even at nighttime, they just
keep crazy. They just fat. I feel bad because, like, you
know, I guess it's a big treat to be in the path of totality,
and so I feel bad for not getting more excited about it. But
I just don't understand the emotions that people are having about it, like the
crying and the like, just like the overwhelming emotions from the Yeah, like
people are losing their shit about it, and I don't get it. Yeah,
I mean, I guess if you're a meteorology geek, though, you're
probably that it's like yesterday was your super Bowl, you know, okay,
all right, but like right, like yeah, crying, the emotion.
I guess a lot of people say that it's because you know, you you
think to yourself, the universe is bigger than me. It's like God is
doing this, and so you feel like you feel so small and insignificant and
it just overwhelmed you with emotion. I said that to my daughter. My
daughter's like, well, didn't they know that already. Yeah, like,
yeah, you are your father's daughter, you have I mean I thought it
was neat, Like I was like, this is so cool, and then
I went on about my business. Yeah, I mean it was cool.
It was really cool. Yeah, it was cool. And now it's done,
and now it's done. Can I just address a question from Jody really
quickly. Did Mock do her portrait paintings when she was on break? And
yes we did, and they were posted more insiders and supporters. One more
reason that you should be following those. You have to say, yours is
pretty good? Right? I don't Yeah, so surprised by myself. I
don't understand. Like you always be like I can't do art, I can't
do this, Yeah you can? Like that was good mine? Yeah,

been. I'd been like, here you go, honey, that's you would
be how Ron like made me like one of those beetlejuice heads, like a
tiny little head. It was just like this. And Greg, my husband,
he actually is really good. His probably would have been very elaborate.
And great, and it would have been it would have been kind of like
yours would have been really really good. Yeah, I mean I don't know
that one. It was really good. It just looked like an actual person,
which was I always say and my husband are very much alike in weird
ways, very range. It's true, really weird. Yeah. Anyway,

know, a lot of people very weirded out by the eclipse, absolutely convinced
that the world was gonna end yesterday, right like this was this was it,
this was it was all gonna be over. Lots of conspiracy theories were
floating out there about all kinds of things. And leave it to the view
to sound like complete morons about the eclipse, and particularly Sonny Houston. You
know that it's bad when even Whoopy thinks she's a dumb ass. And Whoopy
made it very very clear that Sonny Hoston was a dumbass in multiple ways in
the clip that you're about to hear. Take a listen. So what's kind
of crazy is with the earthquake on Friday and then the clips today, people
are having all sorts of conspiracies about the end of the world. And then
I read online that the earthquake epicenter was actually at Bedminster in New Jersey,
right, fun fact, so it originated with trauma. I'm like, no,
I mean, I have to say, Karen Dupice are wonder, oh
my God for makeup artists. When the earthquake was happening, she put her
coat on and she was like, Jesus is coming, I'm out, I'm
I'm out, I'm leaving. We've got a solar eclipse, We've got Earth
ran down the hallway the here and then also I learned that the sicatas are
coming, Cicadas, cicadas the time two different Well this is what I read,
two different times, different kinds of different times. Times are coming the
good for the first time in many, many years, and every seventeen years
this happened. Well that's not what I read. But maybe you know,
in a way, say all those all those things together, what maybe they'd
want to believe that, you know, either climate change exists, that's or
something is qu not at the mercy of climate change. They can't think it
happens. And the eclipse. They've known about the eclipse coming because the eclipses
happened, and they actually can say when these things are going to happen.
So all these folks who are saying, you know, it's a sign from
God. God doesn't give you warning. It's Johnicata, you guys, johns
John Cicadah, dare you John Cicada? What was the song that he's saying?
Another day, another day you that's right, you guys are gonna look
it up and hit him on the beach with the shirt open, running around,
John Kaya, I completely forgot about that until you mentioned it this morning.
As a result of idiot God, let me, Donny is trying to
say the cicada is coming out and the solar eclipse are due to change.
What everything is listening? When Trump wins this year, it's going to be
due to climate change. That's what they're going to say. That's honestly,
did mark my words, They're going to say it. Oh my god,
John Newbaum, thank you very much. Johns's congratulations to the NAIA who voted
twenty to zero to ban transgenders from participating in women's sports. Riley Gaines must
be thrilled. Yeah, that was That was a little spec of good news,
right, It was a great spec of good news. A lot of
people are thrilled. I forgot to mention that Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's daughter
Northwest, who is now ten years old, is making thirty thousand dollars per
social media post a ten year old on TikTok r. I think so she's
got nineteen million followers and so she's making thirty grand estimated. They're estimating that
she's making already grand her post a ten year old. Yeah, and our
mom is helping her. I mean kind of like kind of like Kim's mom
helped her with sex date, all right, I mean nothing like nothing like.
It's America, right, We reward the worst reregs of society. And
that is just one more example. Mid day yesterday, not just because of
the eclipse, but because Trump released his long awaited official abortion statement, and
it was a four and a half minute or so video we're not going to
play obviously by now, probably most folks have seen it. If you haven't,
you're welcome to go watch that. But the essence of it was that
forever he has believed that this is a states right rights issue, and that
was essentially his position. That he believes people need to follow their conscience and
their hearts, and that states are going to handle this different and that people
are going to vote differently for their legislatures depending on where they are. But
essentially, this is a constitutional thing and he believes it rests with the states.
And that was the statement, and queue the world exploding over it.
Right, there was no way he could really make a statement about abortion at
all and take any position without their being backlash. There's no winning on this
issue. There just isn't. Well, he's not changed his stance on it.
That's why I don't know why everybody's freaking out so much right now.
He's not changed anything. He said how he felt about this years ago.
He's saying exactly how he feels about it now, which is the same as
how he felt about it years ago. So there's no flip flopping. Why
are we freaking out about it? We'll have making a reaction to comb through
and unpack. I guess we'll kick it off with the Massachusetts governor, Democrat
Healey, and she was on with Caitlyn Collin to talk about her reaction.
And she's one of a zillion people who are super mad, although not for
the same reasons that some conservatives are mad. Obviously, here is Mara Heally
will energize their voters come this fall. Let's get straight to my source on
this tonight, Democratic Governor of Massachusetts mar Healey, who tore into the former
president and called him a threat to the rights and the health care of women.
Governor, it's great to have you here today. I mean, what
did you make of the fact that in this statement and putting this out today,
donald Trump is really avoiding taking any position on when he believes abortion should
be banned. Not true. Well, I think we can't let Donald Trump
lie his way out of this, Caitlin. What he said today in this
video is that he is proud to have overturned Row. He claimed responsibility for
that. So that's the first thing. The second thing is that his today's
statement may clear that he supports abortion bands and states all over the this country
and because of Donald Trump, one industry American women right now live under an
abortion van. Donald Trump is a direct threat to women and a direct threat
to reproductive freedom. That's who he is, That's who he continues to be.
That's what he said today. Okay, these people are lunatics. So
he Okay, if he says I take responsibility for the overturn of Roe v.
Wade, all right, Well, what he's saying is then now the
states get decide what they want to do with this issue, which is essentially
what he's saying. So how is that lying? How is how somebody explained
to me how that's lying. He's just being consistent, That's what he's being.
And so why would we not want him to be consistent. Oh my
god, a politician's being consistent. It's liberality. So make a note of
it. That doesn't happen very often, I know, but people people are
freaking out. Matthew Dowd also had some criticism about this. He thinks that
Trump made the wrong political calculus, and I'll let him explain. I actually
think he's taken the worst possible political position, which is amazing when they think,
as Garrett was reporting, they think in mar Alango he took a good
political position. Here's what's going to happen. One, I agree with Victoria.
It's still going to motivate Democrats in the course of this. So Democrats
are still going to be motivated. Two, it's going to demotivate part of
Donald Trump's base, as already evidenced by some of the things they've said,
where they wanted a federal ban and they wanted to get rid of abortion not
only in places like Texas border, but California and New York. So it's
going to demotivate part of his base. And three, he still is going
to have to answer the question every time a state does something that restricts abortion
in this because he's opened the door to say states can do whatever they want.
That means he's going to have to answer, well, do you agree
with what Florida? Did you agree with what Texas? Did you agree with
Alabama? Do you agree with Mississippi? And so I think I don't often
agree with Lindsey Graham, but from a political perspective, he would have been
better off I think going for a fifteen week or a sixteen week federal policy
on this because he could still motivate his base, and there are some swing
voters that agree with that line. But I think he's taken the worst possible
political position. Well. It is interesting, though, because I think he
could have gone either way, where he could have done what many many European
countries have done, which is to say, yeah, I am in support
of a federal ban at fifteen weeks, like France, for example, I
would be supportive of that. He could have taken that track, and then
there would have been people complaining about it, like there would have been lots
of people in the pro life movement who would have been super super mad.
But I don't know which is the better decision. I don't know if I
agree with Matthew Dowd that he made the wrong decision. I understand his points,
but the fact remains is Trump could not have made a right decision.
There is no right decision, right. I was just going to say that,
yeah, he's not going to win on this issue, that we will
never win on this issue as Republicans. We're not going to win on this
issue, because how about just don't maybe just don't kill your kid. Here's
a that's a stance. That's a stance that I mean, I would take
that stance. But you can't say that, right, you can't. We're
never going to win on this issue, which is why I hope that during
this election, at least this campaign cycle, people aren't thinking so much about
murdering their babies as they are. You know what, I can't put food
on the table of my existing babies because everything sucks so hard right now in
this economy. I don't feel safe when I leave my house. There's I
mean, I'm worried about the future of my existing children. I'm worried about
the future of like other people's children. I mean, there's a lot of
other stuff going on, and I think that Democrats will use this. They're
going to try so hard to That's why you're going to see so much abortion
talk over the next couple months, is because this is the one thing that
they can when on, or they at least they have one on in the
past, and they scare women about it, and they're going to try.
They will because for Democrats it is a highly motivating issue. And to Matt
Dowd's point, I mean, I think he does have a point that Trump
might have fared. He might have gotten off easier, so to speak,
if he would have said, I support a fifteen week federal ban, because
then his position could have always been no matter what anybody says, he could
be like, I'm pro life, I hate abortion in any circumstance, but
it's clear our country is never going to unite one hundred percent on this.
I would like to stop as many abortions as I can, so at least
we're stopping anything after fifteen weeks. I would love to do more, but
right now I would like to support this. That would have been easier for
him, I think, than the decision he's made now, because to Matt's
point, now he's going to have to answer questions every time a state does
something right, they're all going to handle this differently. He's always going to
be asked about it. It's not just one position, now, do you
know what I mean? But I don't. I don't argue his I do
argue the position you take. I agree with him, I know, I
share he has States rights issue. I hear you, But I still think.
I still think they're gonna He's going to have to answer questions no matter
what, even if it was a fifteen weeks, if it was at twenty
weeks, it was at six weeks, you know what I mean, There's
still going to be questions. There's still they're still going to try to use
this as as AMMO against you know, the A against us. They're gonna
this is because this is what democrats. Absolutely, this is a winning issue
for Democrats. It always has been, always will be. It sucks that
we have to talk about it, right, and I hate it. I
hate that it's ever a camp and I will right, I hate it too,
and I will I will go back to the fact that he has remained
consistent on how he feels about it. So I give him props to the
point here he is in twenty sixteen saying exactly the same thing Trump. You're
pro life, but I want to ask you specifically, do you want the
court, including the justices that you will know, aim to overturn Roe v.
Wade, which includes in fact states a woman's right to abortion. Well,
if that would happen, because I am pro life and I will be
appointing pro life judges, I would think that that will go back to the
individual states. But I'm asking you specifically, would you like they overturned it?
It'll go back to the states. By what I'm asking you, sir,
is do you want to see the court overturn You've just said you want
to see the court protect us not in amignment. Do you want to see
the court overturn? Right? Well, if we put another two or perhaps
three justices on, that's really what's going to bed. That will happen,
and that'll happen automatically, in my opinion, because I am putting pro life
justices on the court, I will say this, it will go back to
the states, and the states will then make a determination. And that's exactly
what happened. You know, go figure, he's saying what he means,
and he means what he says, So how can you not like that?
Well, I mean, there's all kinds of people don't like it for all
the reasons the different people would have hated if he would have taken a different
track. There was no winning. That's why I just feel I don't fault
him for the position he took at all. I don't at all. The
reaction has been so all over the place, even amongst pro life groups.
So, for example, the Susan B. Anthony Pro Life America president Marjorie
Dannenfelzer released a statement super super upset about Trump's stance, saying that they're deeply
disappointed. You know, unborn children and their moms deserve national protections, national
advocacy. They wanted a national ban, and they said that Trump saying that
the issue is back to the states, seeds the debate to Democrats who are
always working relentlessly to enact legislation mandating abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy,
and if they're successful, they will wipe out states' rights. So that's one
pro life group who is super super upset. But we'll go through quickly some
of the other reaction, because again it's all over the place, which just
proves the point again, Trump could not have made a right decision. There
is no right decision on this. There just isn't. Liz Wheeler said,
whether in an innocent person lives or dies should never be left to popular vote
or the will of the people, my God, and I mean that as
a prayer. What is the limiting principle on this? And then, of
course, my name today mock Pence is for Mike Pence, who was saying
that this was a slap in the face to the millions of pro life Americans
who voted for him in twenty sixteen and twenty twenty. I just totally disagree
with that. I absolutely couldn't disagree with him more. Mike just really is
super right now at him, He's got all the mads right now, So
mad Bryce and Gray said, I don't care enough about winning rigged elections to
compromise on abortion. Sorry, not sorry. Let's see we've got Jenna Ellis
I care, I care about winning elections, may care without elections? Right,
Okay, So basically over this issue, people that are pro life are
willing to throw away the entire election over this one issue. Okay, We'll
have fun with your freaking life and have fun with way more abortions as a
result exactly. I mean, how is that winning on our set? It's
so frustrated. People get a grip. Jenna Ellis called him weak, said
Trump punted on the issue of pro life, pledged to support whatever states decide,
including blue states that will allow abortion until the moment of birth. Follow
your heart, she says, is a hallmark card, not strong conservative principled
policy. Listen, you cannot have strong conservative principled policy if you don't have
conservatives in office. Bingo. I don't know why that seems to escape so
many people. But Lyla Rose also said killing babies is always wrong. President
Trump is not a pro life candidate. He's far less pro abortion than Biden,
but he supports killing some preborn children and will even make that his position
in an attempt to get pro abortion votes. Again, all you have to
do is look back to how he actually led and the justices that he put
in place to see what his stances are. He wants to get elected,
so exactly, he was the one who overturned Roby Wade. Who did it?
Who did that? Who did it? I know, it's just so
frustrating. And here's a poll that I thought was interesting. I thought that
we'd just throw this in here about where most of the country is on abortion,
with the head though to the second trimester, and that's where public opinion
shifts. Now, you've only got thirty four percent who say that abortion in
that timeframe should be legal in most or all cases. You've got two thirds
basically saying it should be illegal in most or all cases. And then you
move to the third trimester and you see an even more dramatic movement there,
Less than twenty percent believe abortion in the third trimester should be legal in most
or all cases, eight out of ten voters saying it should be illegal in
most or all cases. So who is who are the twenty percent? I
don't can you be wrong with you? Reassess your entire life, look at
yourself in the mirror, like raise your hand and then promptly pinch yourself in
the face. Not that violence on this show. I absolutely condone it in
this particular case, because if you are if you think that that's okay in
the third trime, it's not okay ever. But in the third trime,
what is wrong with you? I know? Like sick and twisted man,
so gross, so gross, my god, lots more reaction about that to
get to but I just wanted to brag for a moment, not only about
my beautiful jade plant that I got from Fast Growing Trees dot com. It's
not dead. It is not dead, driving thank you very much, alive,
but also, oh look, also my lilac tree is in full like
I don't have the flowers yet, but I'm expecting some like any second,
because it's so green. And that's amazing, not not even like it's amazing
because Indiana weather is so borked. I understand that. While I was gone
last week there was snow, like there was snow one night. There was
like super freezing temperatures. And that tree man, it was like, I
have got this. I am going to be okay. And it is.
It's gonna be so amazing. You guys, the lilac tree. How is
your avocado tree. It's there, it's like it's going, it's growing.
It's not dead either. I'm pretty excited about it. It's gonna take a
year for me to get avocados, but I'm waiting patients, and that's but
that's great. And the thing is fast growing trees makes people like us who
do not have green thumbs at all. They make us feel like gardeners essentially
because we're growing all this amazing stuff. This is why, by the way,
they're the biggest online nursery in the entire country. They have ten thousand
different kinds of plants, over two million happy customers. Of course we are
included in that, and I cannot say good stuff about them right now.
They have the best deals ever online. There's up to half off on selected
plants, and you can figure out what plants might work best for you based
on your zone. So they put you your geographical location, they base it
into a zone, and then they tell you here's the stuff that's going to
thrive in your area and your climate. They make it all so easy,

sure to tell them that we sent you Fast Growing Trees dot Com. Use
code chicks, get yourself a j plant, or get yourself an avocado tree
or a lilac plant or whatever. They're amazing, amazing. Okay, so
back to some more reaction. We're going to flip it to conservatives who actually
were very much in favor of what Trump said, including Charles C. W.
Cook, who said this is the correct constitutional position given exact limited powers
of the federal government. Yright Michael Knowles also weighed in and said, regarding
criticism of Trump's abortion statement, has there been or could there be today,
any even remotely electable GOP presidential candidate with a different view. One hopes that
things improve as the pro life movement advances, but what better option could there
be today? Exactly exactly And listen and Charles C. W. Cook is
spot on from a constitutional standpoint, that is exactly how he should respond.
This is precisely how he should handle it. So bravo to Trump. And
then, surprisingly, because you know, contrary to Lyla Rose and others in
the pro life movement, Kristen Hawkins, who you've seen do a lot of
like man on the street type of fights about abortion with with people, she's
very very I post a lot of her stuff on and she's fantastic. She
took a completely different and much more reasonable, I think approach, and she
said, I'm seeing a lot of concern about this. I get it we
at the pro life generation are one hundred percent for a national pro life law.
However, we need to stop and consider a few things. GOP insiders
were calling for a fifteen or sixteen week limit on abortion, which would have
allowed more than nine out of ten abortions to continue, and by either intent
or by accident, would set up a very tough European like stalemate on abortion.
And she goes on to say staking out a federal standard on abortion that
would undermine the positions of many other states that have acted with courage to protect
women and children, and could have hurt our movement's work to pass strong pro
life legislation and elect courageous pro life leaders who will work with us to end
all abortions or at least when a child's heartbeat could be heard. This position
keeps the pressure on Democrats and their abortion extremism, instead of letting their fundraising
machines stir up their radical base over threats about a late term abortion ban that
would only say four to six percent of children. There is much that Trump
must still do to protect innocent children if re elected, starting with pro life
appointments blah blah blah, to undo the radical actions of Joe Biden. But
our ultimate goal in the pro life movement is the federal protection of human life.
Your human right not to be killed shouldn't beginner end at a state line.
However, it's going to take time to get there and the vote we
need in the Senate and state legislatures. That's why we're working NonStop to grow
and mobilize our movement for this long fight. It's a marathon, not a
sprint. Trump made the right call, and this leaves room for better action
to be taken down the road. I agree with their one hundred prah vote.
You're right, Yes, it's a marathon, not a sprint. And
all these people are like, we want it now, we want it now.
Well, similar, and you're not going to get elected and then you're
going to have more abortion. It's got to be strategic, and I think
that that is why he made the decision he did. Lindsay, This is
that, Oh my god, Earl is upset. Earl a problem, Lindy,
and now Trump is going after him like crazy. So Lindsay said,
I respectfully disagree with Trump's statement that abortion is the state's right issue. Dobbs
does not require that conclusion. Legally, and the pro life movement has always
been about the well being of the unborn child, not geography. He says,
I will continue to advocate that there should be a national minimum standard limiting
abortion at fifteen weeks because the child is capable of feeling pain, with exceptions
for rape incest in life of the mother. However, until we achieve this
goal, the least we can do is provide anesthesia to an unborn child facing
an abortion at fifteen weeks because they feel pain. And that's fine. Like
new legislation requiring providers to administer anesthesia. Great, that's all about it.
But Trump was furious at this and said, I mean he went on a
terror you guys, He said, Lindsey Graham is doing a great disservice to
the party and to our country. At first he wanted no abortions under any
circumstances. Then he was up to six weeks. Now he's up to fifteen.
But what he doesn't understand, or perhaps he does, is the radical
love democrats who are destroying our country will never approve anything that he and the
Republicans want. They love this issue and they want to keep it going for
as long as Republicans will allow him to do so, he's so great about
that. Oh my god, one hundred percent correct. Terminating Roe v.
Wade was, according to all legal scholars, a great event. But sometimes
with great events come difficulties. Many good Republicans lost elections because of this issue,
and people like Lindsay that are unrelenting are handing Democrats their dream of the
House, Senate, and perhaps even the presidency. He said, by allowing
states to make the decision and hoping that most Republicans running for office will have
the sense although they must always follow their heart, to require exceptions for rape,
incest, on life of the mother, we have taken the abortion issue
largely out of play. When the Supreme Court had the courage to do the
right thing legally and terminate Roe v. Wade, all these people, including
Lindsay and Marjorie Dan and Felzer of Susan B. Anthony, that were hardliners
one day after the victory, were gone and absolutely no help as Democrats stage
rallies and won elections that they never should have won. So, yeah,
he's absolutely right, He is spot on with that. Yes, so suck
it, Lindsay. Sucking He wasn't done. He said, Lindsay should spend
more time focusing on all the many people being killed because of our now non
existent border and the millions of people dying in senseless, never ending wars that
he constantly favors and promotes, and should spend less time on taking away our
great Roe Vwade victory of sending a complicated and controversial issue back to the states
where it belongs. Oh damn even more, he said, Lindsay and Marjorie
should study the Tenth Amendment and state rights. When they do, they should
proudly get on with helping Republicans to win elections, rather than making it impossible
for them to do so. I blame myself for Lindsey Graham because the only
reason he one in South Carolina is because I endorsed preach, preach. Oh
yeah, good's he's right. He's so right, so right, and that
that that's really the essence, right. He is all about winning, and
once he wins, then he continues to do the pro life stuff. You
know what, and so am I I am too. We need to win
to be able to actually implement policies. You can't implement conservative policies unless you're
a dare and you're not going to get there by being a hardliner on us.
You just won't. Yeah, and let'sy can like pound his little chess
all he wants his moves, he can pound those moves. He can pound
his moves all he wants to do. But he but the way that he
that Trump called him out here, and the timing of when he pounds his
moves is very suspect. You know. It's like, just take all the
seats. Let let the grown ups do the grown up work. And Trump's
right about some of these pro life groups who get super excited to say,
you know, to be hardliners and say, no person's at any point ever,
ever, ever, and then as soon as all the elections get lost,
they're nowhere to be found. No, And so it's very easy for
them to criticize Trump on taking a position. But there, but it's very
hypocritical also because you can't make changes to the pro life moment for the pro
life movement without being elected. And that's what I mean. It doesn't doesn't
matter to to Lindsey Graham because he's still taking a paycheck from all us.
Right, his life is cushy, you know, so he could just stand
up and pound his moves and like, I'm upset about this, just take
all the seats. Scott Jennings on CNN thought that this was probably a pretty
wise track for Trump to take. Scott, I want to get your reaction
to part of President Biden's response in which he accuses Trump of lying. Let
me put it up on the screen, the screen that Trump is scrambling.
He's worried that since he's the one responsible for overturning Roe, the voters will
hold him accountable in twenty twenty four. So, Scott, how concerned should
Republicans be that voters will hold Trump responsible? Well, look, the voters
who are motivated by this issue will absolutely hold Donald Trump responsible. And that
cuts both ways. For the pro life voters who wanted to see Roe go
away, he's responsible for it. And for the people who lean Karen's way,
they also hold Trump responsible for it. The question is is this going
to be the top issue in the election. And that's really the friction between
the two campaigns. The Biden campaign wants this election to be largely about abortion
and other cultural issues. The Trump campaign they announced their position today Wolf on
Eclipse Day because they're hoping this issue is eclipsed by the economy, immigration,
and the border, what have you. And so whatever Donald Trump's position is,
he said it today. Some people are happy, some people are not.
The Democrats are going to call him extreme on it. The real question
is can Democrats elevate this up the line and make it more important than say,
food prices or the border chaos or crime. And I'm doing exactly Let's
hope that they cannot do that. Yeah, and then if there's anybody out
there who's still concerned about Trump's position, fantastic clip you're about to see from
a fellow by the name of John Doyle who puts this in the best possible
perspective and says it better than I ever could. I thought this was amazing,
and so here it runs a little bit long, but I think this
is a nice way to end the topic on this because this was really really
good. So I was saying that nationalism is going to breed the conditions necessary
for social conservatism for more Christian policies, rather than the opposite. So it's
to say that if we wanted to have a candidate running for political office who
is just the most Christian, well, we would have had President Mike Huckabee
by now. But we haven't because people in America have become so calloused and
they've become so polluted by sin that when they hear messaging like that that wants
to compel them legally to be more virtuous, it almost repulses them. They
won't vote for it. I wish that weren't the case, but it is.
But if you have someone like Donald Trump who can get in there and
say, well, I want to close the border, I want to bring
back jobs, I want to do this, and he makes you know,
things like abortion and accessory to his campaign, it's like, oh, and
I'm going to appoint pro life justices. But he really didn't speak about that
that much. Well, he gets in office and now all of a sudden
he appoints justices, and that leads to the conditions that overturned Roe v.
Wade fifty years of pro life activism. The crown jewel was we have to
overturn Roe v. Wade and the guy that ultimately facilitated that. Not to
discredit the work that the pro life organizations have done, but it was the
guy who, frankly, they were attacking in twenty fifteen because they were like,
well, he used to be pro choice. He's probably paid for abortions.
But it's like, that's true, but we need to get a guy
in there who can move the ball down the field. And because we tend
to be a more virtuous group of people, I think we have problems playing
the game the way that the Democrats play the game, which is to say,
Democrats will say, yes, I'm not in favor of that, I'm
not going to do that. They will be creative with their presentation of what
they intend to do, and then they get into office and they govern and
complete opposition to how they said. Is it wrong, as say someone running
for president or running for Senate or whatever, as a Republican to say,
well, my position on abortion is that i want to give it back to
the states. I'm more moderate, maybe, you know whatever. And then
you get into office and now all of a sudden, you staff your administration
with radical pro lifers and you govern like it's the Handmaid's Tale or something.
You're saving lives on the net, you are saving lives. And the problem
with the pro life organizations is that there's a lot of money to be made
by getting up in front of a crowd of people and saying I think killing
babies is wrong and everyone collaps. Yes, so true, Like it's honestly,
it's a form of virtue signaling on the right is to say killing babies
is wrong and everyone claps and they give you money. Yes, but do
you want to save lives? Because if you want to save lives, you
got to kind of get in the mud and work your way through that system.
And so my problem with Trump is a personal sort of I wish that
he, you know, maybe had more Christian positions on these things, but
ultimately, like I'm not looking at him as a sort of avatar of you
know, christ like behavior. I'm looking at him as a guy who can
get into the system and create opportunities for guys who maybe are more inclined to
be convicted and have deep convictions on these things. So then get in and
move the ball down the field. And you know what that Oh my god,
that's that was beautiful, beautifully put. But that could be applied to
so many other things too when it comes to Trump. I feel that way
about Trump about so many other issues too. He's not my preacher, he's
not my boyfriend, he's not my husband. I don't care about any of
that crap. But he can move the ball down the field, and that
is what we need him for. He is a great player. He's literally
the best quarterback ever. Just get him on the field and he can move
the ball. I don't care what he does when he's off the field.
I don't care. And I like, I fight with people about that on
freaking Instagram. It drives me crazy, and people are like, how can
you be a conservative Christian and like a guy who said grab him by the
whatever? How can you be a conservative Christian and like a guy who wasn't
like, I don't know, canoodling with the strip or I don't care.
I just want a guy who can run a company and move the ball down
the field. And he's the best guy for the job period. Boom.
I think we can put a cap on this topic, Yeah, and I'd
really like to because I just don't want this to be a campaign topic.
It's going to be. It's gonna be. It's going to permeate every CNN,
MSNBC, CBS, the all the mainstream media channels are going to They're

still trying to cancel all kinds of student loans, which is making me crazy
because it's literally the Supreme Court said you can't do that, and he just
keeps doing it. So he put out this video yesterday. Here he is
Day one. My administrator has been committed to fixing the broken student loan system
and making sure higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a
barrier. My administration has approved debt cancelation for four million Americans through various actions,
and today I'm announcing new plans that would cancel student debt for millions more.
In total, these plans would cancel some are all student debt for thirty
million Americans. In combined with everything we've done so far. To find out
how these plans may impact you, visit studentaid dot go. Okay, I
know I'm supposed to be listening to him. You're gonna have to go back
to that picture. And I I know I'm supposed to be listening to him
about student debt and how we're all paying for other people's student debt now,
right, But you guys, look at his face. Is it just me?
Or does he have chin balls? Look at his face? He went
to a plastic surgeon at some point he went to a plastic surgeon, and
he's f with his face. I mean, like we all know he's f
with this space, right because he looks completely different than he did twenty years
ago. Okay, but look at his chin balls or falling? Like whoever
put the chin balls in? Like what they're moving around? Or something's going
on in there where he needs to get the chimballs fixed or like moved or
what is that? What's happening to somebody? You're gonna be able to unsee
those? Well, it's they're right there here. What's why he's a bulschini
in? Yes, did he go into a surgeon and ask for the Peter
Griffin? Like what happened? Like? What is going on with the chin
balls? I can't stop looking at them? So I know I'm supposed to
be concentrating on professional things but I is it just me you? I see
it, and everybody's with me. I can't be the only one that sees
this. It's the chin balls. This was the meanest thing you've ever done,
is to point this out. None of that one of us can use
none of us. Look how horrific that is. It's really bad. And
I can't believe I didn't notice it until you said it. But yeah,
they're good. It's just like that surgeon needs to just give up his license.
It's somebody said it's the only set of balls he has. That's right,
and they're honest skin anyway, all right, I just needed to point
that out. Well, and just quick flashback if we could to Nancy Pelosi.
I can't remember when this was. It was. I think it was
early on in Joe Biden's presidency. But I think it bears repeating, uh
many many times over and over and over again. People think that the president
of the United States is this more on the subject, and you ever want
to know where you're let me know. People think that the president of the
United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can
postpone, he can delay, but he does not have that power. That
would has to be an act of Congress. Oh okay, well that's so
weird because he keeps doing it. That's the news to Joe. Somebody needs
to alert Joe. Somebody, he needs to alert old shimballs. Oh my
god, that is by the way, he okay, So Nancy Pelosi is
saying that there is no way that he can How did she put it?
He can't cancel, No, that's not that was his word. He can
just end it, right, But he keeps using the word canceling. I'm
canceling straight dead. That is a bunch of bullshit, you guys. It
just means he's ransferring the debt to all tax payers. A lot of us
are getting spend the money on our own damn educationally. Oh yeah, he
doesn't get it. But that's the thing that also is infuriating is whenever he
gets up there, like he did it with the bridge collapse, He's done
it with other things too. He's like, I'm going to go ahead and
I'm going to take care of this. I'm like, I'm doing this for
you. I'm such a benevolent I'm such a good guy. With these giant
chimballs, like I'm such a good guy. I'm going to take care of
all this for you. Look how awesome I am. And I'm going to
try to buy your votes with this when in essence, we're paying for it.
It's us we're doing it, and he's and it's unconstitutional, like you're
according to Melos even yeah, I just this guy is a piece. It
makes me so mad. And what they should be focused on is the fact
that our Social Security and Medicare programs are basically going to end, like way
sooner than I think any of us really realize. So I got that the
annual email saying hey, your soci security statement is ready, and I was
like, I'm going to go look at that. And what I saw was,
you know, like all the regular statement, but I also saw this,
which is the question. It's a flyer from the Soci Security Department or
so security that says will it be there for me? And they talk about
here's how we form the trust. Oh my god, here's how we're doing
on the money. But then it says the combined total is enough to pay
out and on time until twenty thirty four. At that point they can only
pay out about eight hundred dollars of every due thousand dollars and I don't know
for how long they can do that. So starting in just ten years,
you guys, it's not going to be there for those of us who are
going to be looking to it at around that time. And it's gonna get
worse because nobody, except for Nicki Hayley, nobody was willing to talk about
this on the Republicans side. Nobody's willing to make hard decisions about it.
So here we are. This is how it is. That is that what
it's gonna take for everybody to seriously like just lose their shit maybe, I
mean, and go enough is enough? Is that what it's gonna take when
people when we start because we're what we're seeing is illegals getting all of their
crap paid for. We're seeing people who aren't even citizens, that have never
paid into the system, who have literally broken the law to bust over our
border, and we're paying for three squares, We're paying for all their health
care, We're giving them like places to live, We're give I mean,
these people are getting everything paid for. Right, And then is that what
it's gonna take? Is it gonna take when they stop giving us people who
I've I've been paying into Social Security since I was thirteen years old. I've
had a job since I was thirteen. So is that what it's gonna take
for people to see, oh my god, they're not giving me my social
Security. They stole from me, I mean, because they're already stealing from
us. So what's it gonna take for people to say enough is enough enough?
Because if we don't win this election, because it's not a it's not
a shoe in you guys, it's just not even close. They're like half
this country still thinks that Democrats give a shit about them, which is just
it's I mean, it's crazy to me. It's these people are lunatics.
But if if that, if if we don't win this, it will be
I think twenty thirty four will become earlier, you know. I mean we're
going to run out of it sooner than twenty thirty four. I mean,
it can't. We can't just continue to ignore it and like people can just
continue to be like, oh, figure that out the next election. It'll
always be there. This is it's a crisy now, right because I say
this to family members and they're like, oh, but they've been saying this
forever, and it's like we always still get it, but will we I
mean, there's because eventually you run out of other people's money. We are
the other people. They're going to run out of our money, and they're
they're starting to It's happening. And no matter how much the Biden administration wants
you to believe that everything is just rocking and rolling in the economy, one
of the worst indicators ever is the fact that gas prices are going up.
Oil prices are going up, and here is some analysis about that very thing.
Zandy said, quote it's the most serious threat to the economy. Nothing
does more damage to the economy more quickly than higher oil prices. Never remember,
the higher oil prices go, the more all of us have to pay
for gas at the pump. The national average today is up to three sixty
a gallon. That is a fresh five month high. That's up six cents
in a week, twenty cents over the past month. And if gas prices
go too high, that could also unwind some of the progress on the inflation
front, and that could delay when the Fed can start cutting interest rates,
or even by how much the Fed cuts rates. There also could be significant
political consequences. Here. Moody's has a model out there forecasting model that finds
gas prices are a key variable in the November election. How key Well,
Moody said that if gas prices hit four dollars a gallon and stay above there,
that alone could be enough for Donald Trump to win the White House.
Well, yeah, gas prices were two thirty nine a gallon he took office.
And now what did he say? It was like almost four dollars a
gallon is the average? Yeah, So, I mean I don't understand.
How like when they his talking heads get out there at the Yellen's you know,
the troll lady and all these other people and his administration are like,
everything's great, Everything's fine. Yeah, And here here she is saying exactly
that the Goblin herself chose the US is firing on all cylinders. I mean
yeah. In terms of short term performance, inflation is coming down, the
drug market is very strong. Growths really been a lot strongers, and I
would have expected this. It's this stage. We had three point one percent
growth last year. Inflation's coming down now it's their supply is up, and
we're seeing some of the pressures we might worry about coming from the labor market
impacting inflation. They're substing, but unemployment remains very low. Now you're high
on striver, you're completely high, comming up roses. No, it's not
just shrims for her. So inflation was five point it's it's average five point
six percent under Biden. It was one point nine under Trump. Like the
average thirty year fixed mortgage was around two point seven. Please don't tell me
that right before Biden took took off us Now it's what around like six seven
percent for market. Seven seven percent is the average. I mean that,
Holy crap, you guys. I mean that's it's insanity. You cannot how
can people look at that and think we're doing better. We're not doing that.
We're so much worse. God, I cannot stand that little goblin woman.
I know, right, all right, moving on, because we got
to get to some Israel stuff and some at this point, if you are
a pro Palestinian ceasefire calling, you're out of your mind. You're just out
of your mind. And unfortunately, as we've seen in dear Bornistan and some
of these more radicalized parts of our own country, the just outwardness that people
are saying things like death to America inside our own country by Americans that are
saying that. It's just it's blowing my mind how this narrative has taken root.
And so this guy, this first guy that you're going to see,
Seattle Public school teacher who apparently posted about you know how Hamas was justified in
doing what they did on October seventh. Here he is posts said that they're
oppressors, don't get to choose the form of resistance used against them. You
didn't write that that is true. Well, then, was what happened to
Israel on October seventh justified? Yes? The rape of women at a music
festival was justified? Oh my god, there was rape? You don't think
there was any rape. Where's the evidence that there was rape? Were women
murdered at the music festival? Was that justified? Yes? The murder of
innocent women just attending a music festival, that was justified in your opinion?
No, I think resistance against Israel is justified. Yeah, you know what
a piece of prap this guy is? So that was His name is Ian
Golosh. He's a communist activist and a teacher for Seattle Public Schools. He's
a teacher. You guys, can you even believe that this guy's like an
extremist whack job and he's and he's also he's got a is that a man?
But I don't know what was going on up there, so that was
happening, So yeah, that and he's not alone. I mean, this
is a this is a this is a thought and idea that is taking hold
of not just academia, which has always been a problem, but what young
people are starting to actually impact the way that the Biden is reacting to this
entire conflict, that Democrats are reacting to this entire conflict, And unfortunately even
some Republicans, like people are starting to lose sight of what October seventh was
all about. Well, it's been six months. How can you expect them
to even feel sorry for people? How can you expect them to be on
the side of Jews after six months? I mean, you know, time
has passed. It's so infuriating. And the fact that like they'll these are
people that will easily they'll they'll be all outraged about the death toll of Palestinian
civilians that Harmas is reporting. And it's the same Hamas who is like Oh
yeah, hostages. We don't even know how many we have or where they
are. We I don't know. We just we've lost track of some of
them. Sorry, And then they're gonna believe the these inflated numbers that the
HAMAS is reporting about. You know, Palestinian lives, Innocent Palestinian lives.
How about you get out of innocent Palestinian neighborhoods, if that even is such
a thing, so that you're actually fighting a fair war. But they're never
going to do that, and that's what people keep losing sight of. Greg
Guttfeld had some great things to say about just the state of our culture when
it comes to people making these death to America statement oppression. You know,
with the death to America stuff, that we are on a slow roll toward
our own little gazas, these little islands of unrest in the country. These
were places that were sacrificed to leftism, leftisms where laws were discarded, identity
and division became the currency. You know, look at Minneapolis since George Floyd,
it's never been the same. There are all these enclaves. We were
supposed to be a melting pot, but that requires melting and instead what we're
seeing these areas is at hardening. It's a hardening. And we're always accused
of xenophobia if we exalt our country tree's awesomeness or make fun of another country's
customs. Fair enough, I get it, but it's a two way street.
If you come here and you reject assimilation, free speech, cooperation with
people different than you, those are our values, and if you reject them,
you were xenophobic and you are anti American. It's not illegal, I
guess, but why are we respecting it and why are we encouraging it?
You know, leftism encourages the sort of behavior. It is time for the
adults to enter the room and basically change the conversation or these cities are gone.
Amen, they're already going, yeah, it's bad. Yeah. And
some is a whole generation, you know. I mean there's so many kids
and young people who just buy into this crow No, even millennials like that.
There's so many people who think that this is the case, like they
weren't taught history and they don't and because of that, like a horrible byproduct
of that is their belief system is so bored. I just I don't even
know how to unravel that. How do you undo that? And so much
of it is just born of pure ignorance, Like these people that are you
know, the students that will actually say that Israel are Nazis. Right,
that's and that to me is a lot of our educational system. It goes
back to what I just said, and that is that they weren't taught,
like they don't know and so what they get on TikTok and they're like,
oh yeah, Jewish people are Nazis or their teachers are the guy that we
played at the very beginning of this second exactly exactly. It's just it's horrific.
I've got a flashback of Bill Clinton from twenty sixteen. I don't know
what talk he was giving, but he was talking about how he had tried
to do everything that he could to establish a Palestinian state and it was constantly
met with resistance. And he talks about Hamas's tactics here he is really small.
When they decide to rocket Israel, they insinuate themselves in the hospitals in
the US, in the highly populous areas, and they are smart, so
they tried so they wait, wait, wait, they so they try to
put the israelis in a position of either not defending themselves or killing innocence.
They're good at it, they're smart. They've been doing this a long time.
Look, I don't agree. I killed myself to give the Palestinians the
state. I had a deal they turned down that would have given them all
of Gaza. Wait, wait, all of Gaza, between ninety six and
ninety seven percent of the West ninth compensating land in Israel, you nameil.
This is never going to end until Hamas is gone. Period. There's only
one solution to this problem, and it is to end Hamas, which is
what Israel is desperate. We're trying to do. They're trying to do that,
but they're being met with, you know, advice from us on how
to do it, and I you know, it's like do people tell us
how to fight wars? You know, like do That's this is what I'm
getting so irritated about. Like last week there was all these and I'm sure
we have clips on this, but like the Kirbys and whatnot, who are
now they're sort of flip flopping and they're and they're getting aggravated on and they're
they're becoming experts on how Israel should handle this war. I mean, if
somebody came in to our country, they invaded us, they raped our women,
they put our babies in ovens, do you think that we would be
like, let's just get all sorts of advice from everybody else on how to
deal with this. Do you think we do that? I hope to hell
not. I hope we would just go completely ballistic on the people that did
that. I hope that that's what we do. And that's precisely what they're
trying to do. They're trying to buy the cancer that did that to them,
right, and then they're being met now after six months, when they
still have hostages, they're being met with on You guys, aren't being off
to the people over there? You're not, are you kidding? It's freaking
war. It's so aggravating, and it's so aggravating that people have forgotten.
October seventh completely. Guy Benson was on Fox talking about that very thing.
Three ounce of human suffering that is happening in Gaza right now is the fault
of Hamas, which on October seventh invaded Israel and slaughtered and raped and tortured
twelve hundred people and took a bunch of hostages, dozens of whom are still
being held, including five Americans, one of whom had a daughter born in
his absence. That's happening right now, and sometimes it feels like we're not
even talking about that, So let's talk about it. I have some photos
from my trip. This was last month to Israel. This is the home
we went to, a kibbutz just north of Gaza, a home of a
twenty three year old couple. Beautiful couple. You can see the bullet holes
just spraying all over the corridor and that opening area of their house, the
foyer. They were both murdered right there. And that was a street filled
with young families, all of whom were slaughtered in cold blood. Here's another
one. This is from the music festival Nova. This is a makeshift memorial
for those victims. That was the dance floor what you're looking at. That's
where people were going and dancing with their friends. Hamas showed up and killed
hundreds of people, and the dance floor is now basically a graveyard. And
then this is the heartbroken, desperate young woman I met in Tel Aviv.
That photo is her sister. She is one of the dozens of hostages still
held by Hamas. Hamas has rejected every ceasefire offer from Israel, including lopsided
ones. And sometimes I feel like I'm slowly going insane watching the discourse around
this issue, where the hostages and October seventh is almost treated as an afterthought.
It is the whole reason this conflict exists. Yes, it's the whole
damn reason, right, m hm. And you know it's crazy. Things
are crazy when Michael Rapaport, who is insane by almost every measure, Yeah,
what he is, when he's calling out fellow Hollywood celebrities for their silence
about this. This was stunning to watch because you forget that it's Michael Rapaport
who's a lunatic. But here's what he said, and he's absolutely right.
A bunch of Jewish people in my business who have made billions of dollars presenting
themselves as Jews, the stereotypical Jew. But if you make millions and millions
and millions of dollars, and you have success presenting yourself as a Jew,
and you jew it up for the camera, and you have nothing to say
when Jews are under attack, you should be ashamed of yourself. Those performers
will be remembered in history as cowards, as pussies, because this is the
time where you could have said something, done something. In Hollywood. Artists
say something about everything, women's rights, whether it's women's pay, whether it's
a Black Lives Matter, inclusion, equality, LGBTQ climates, everything, but
to say nothing about the hostages, not one time, not one person,
say nothing about the hostages. The entire award season of twenty twenty four from
not just Jews, that's most important, that's number one, but from the
entire community. For young twenty three year old actresses to accept awards knowing that
there's twenty three year old hostages, to not acknowledge them during Women's History Month,
that's on them. They know they're full of shit when you're killing.
Yeah, watching that transformation, it kind of makes me uncomfortable. It does,
because you know what he's said in the past about so many people,
and yeah, he's he's one hundred percent correct on the on the people that
should be standing out though, because there are so many people in his industry
who are in fact Jewish. And then you know, like that the award
shows you saw so much free Palestine. He didn't see one person, you
know, like you just don't see a lot of those people like the Jerry
Seinfelds and whatnot. You don't see them being so overly vocal. You want
to see these people need to stand up and they need to say the things,
and they're not saying the things as loudly as the Free Palestine people.
And it makes you wonder, why, like, are they afraid? I'm
assuming they're afraid. Why would they be afraid? Well, it's like,
do you remember right after October seventh, like anytime that somebody was ripping down
the pictures of the hostages, they would get blasted on Twitter and they would
get canceled from jobs or whatever. I don't think that would happen anymore.
I now has taken hold and taken such route that it's impacting otherwise reasonable people.
And that's why this last clip about this was so intriguing. It Joe
Rogan was obviously he's been impacted by some of that narrative, which is,
oh, these so many Palestinian people are suffering and they you know, they
don't want any part of this, and there's so many thousand, and it
was only it was only twelve hundred people who died on October seventh, but
now thirty thousand, forty thousand have died on the Palestinian side. It's too
much and I just can't bear it. He was falling into that trap,
but he got schooled pretty hard by Coleman Hughes, who really and to Joe's
credit, he listened. He was not like pushing back. He listened and
learned. And I thought this was such a powerful clip. Thirty thousand innocent
civilians in response to something that killed twelve hundred innocent civilians, and you're continuing
to bomb an area into oblivion. That is at least the steps of genocide
or a form of genocide. So when you say thirty thousand civilians, it's
not thirty thousand civilians that have been killed though how many thousands have been killed?
So according to Gaza Health Ministry, which is run by Hamas, the
number they have is thirty two thousand, but they don't distinguish between Hamas and
civilians. How many members of Hamas are there, forty thousand something like that.
I don't think the number is known, but it's tens of thousands.
So Hamas says thirty two thousand and people have been killed civilians and soldiers.
Israel says thirteen thousand soldiers have been killed by Israel, so let's not doubt
either number. They could both be elated. But if both of those numbers
are accurate, which they may or may not be, that would be thirteen
thousand soldiers killed nineteen thousand civilians killed, which for urban combat in the Middle
East is a very normal ratio. It's very distinct from genocide, because genocide
is when you're trying to maximize civilian casualties. I think Israel, however,
imperfectly, is doing the opposite. They're trying to minimize civilian casualties. That's
interesting. This is the way I would put it succinctly. If you ask
the question what is unique about this war? What is different about this war
than all other wars? It's not the civilian death toll. The ratio of
combatants to civilians is I think it's better than the American armies was when we
got Isis out of Mosul, that was like ten thousand civilians dead to kill
four thousand Isis. This is nineteen thousand civilians dead to kill thirteen thousand.
What's unique about war? Unlike every other war that I could think of,
is you have an army in Hamas that has perfected the art of embedding itself
and meshing itself with civilians so that you cannot hit them without hitting the people
around them. Other armies have done this, but none have perfected it to
the extent that Hamas has. And yes, I agree with all of the
absolute tragedy and suffering of the Palestinian people, But what creates that is the
way Hamas fights. And either we can say one of two things. We
can either say Israel just Israel doesn't have a clean shot and they have to
let Hamas get away with it because it's too much to bear. But then
we are essentially creating a situation where terrorists have found the perfect solution, which
is that you can cross the border, go house to house, slaughtering your
enemies, and then hide behind your own people and they can do nothing about
it. It's a perfect strategy. Can we live in a world where we
allow that to be an acceptable strategy? I don't think so. And it's
very ugly to watch. It's heartbreaking, and I completely understand why people don't
think the way I think when they see the videos. I completely get it,
but I don't think we can actually live in a world where that's allowed
to be a strategy. I appreciate your perspective. I see what you're saying.
He's one hundred percent correct. And then I you know another thing I
find really interesting in all of this. You know, we're spending a lot
of time talking about Israel and Hamas, We're spending so much money, We've
spent so much money on the Ukraine Russia war. What about all their casualties.
Nobody talks about that. I mean, well, I looked it up
yesterday. I'll tell you there's been almost half half a million. So they,
like the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, they reported,
there's a couple of different reports, right, it's kind of all over the
place. But like the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, its most
recent estimate published this was like in January said that almost three hundred and eighty
thousand personnel have been lost. Ukraine has lost two hundred and fifteen thousand troops
in twenty twenty three. That was a newsweek and they had a hard time
like substantiating that figure. But then there's like almost thirty thousand civilian casualties in
Ukraine. There's a I mean, the numbers are pretty staggering in that war.
But we're not talking about that war, are we? Well, like
somebody, Yeah, we're just sending shit tons of money, and but nobody's
crying about those people, and nobody's crying about dead Russians Ukrainians? Are we?
Is anybody like upset about that? I mean, I'm just why.
I don't get it. I don't understand, Like, what's the desk way?
It's so there. It's easy, I think to suggest that when people
push on freeing Palestine, or when they get all in a tizzy about the
casualties in this Gaza Israel war, it's anti Semitic. It just is right,
because unless you're tecting that same outrage over other wars, then you have
an Israel problem. Period. You do exactly exactly. It's like Dan,
you hit it on the head, you said, because it's not about Jews.
You're right, it's not about Jews. When we start talking about Jews,
everything is different. The rules are different, every yeah, the standards
are different. Right, It's all Tom, It's all nonsense, it's all.
It totally is nonsense. I gets so stick of hearing about it.
Take all that. Karon Elliott, thank you. Karen says, w is
for wins, Sorry for the confusion, Love you. That's from that earlier
supersticker screaming me me, thank you. She just said, chin balls.
Andreas Andrea, thank you. She says Biden taxed social security, think about
that. And Thomas Adams thank you. Thomas says, why no calls for
Hamastra surrender? Exactly? You You never hear that. It's always what Israel
should do. Never release the damn hostages and freaking put it down your arms
and give up this ridiculous surrender totally. Everybody, be careful and bring it
in, bring it in, you guys. What is it? What is
today? Tuesday? Tuesday? Yeah, okay, have a wonderful, wonderful
Tuesday, and we will talk to you tomorrow. Bye. Every Nday
