It's pledged to be here today. 7 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.439 Never fear, my friends. Since Wednesday, Since Wednesday, Vice President 8 00:00:51.679 --> 00:01:00.799 Kamala Harris has been on it. After tackling the issue of illegal integration so 9 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.159 well, so Well did an outstanding job at shutting that down. They have 10 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.640 now determined she's onto her next projects, which is stopping hatred around the globe. 11 00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.560 I mean, it is remarkable what these folks think that they can do. 12 00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:23.040 By forming a commission, by signing a sheet of paper, by naming 13 00:01:23.079 --> 00:01:29.079 someone to be the bizarre of something, they can eradicate all the problems on 14 00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:32.719 the globe. And of course all they do, repeatedly, all these folks 15 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:37.159 do is make things worse for all of us. For all of us, 16 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:40.799 So I want to talk about that today. I want to talk a little 17 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:46.840 bit about what's happened in the House of Representatives, this censure vote, I 18 00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:53.719 should say, of Representative Rashida Talib and the Republicans who did not vote to 19 00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:57.840 censure her. There's a question. We are on a Friday. It's Friday, 20 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.359 it's card I mean, we're in November. It's Friday. We're moving 21 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:05.280 headlong into the holidays. It's a crazy, crazy, crazy time of year, 22 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:12.400 moving along quickly. And I got this question in response to a column 23 00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:17.759 I wrote a week or two ago and just want to address it on here. 24 00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:21.919 And it's got me to thinking about maybe some other questions to address as 25 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.759 well that I get from time to time, but we will those are That's 26 00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.000 the kind of the outline of what I want to hit today. And I 27 00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:34.520 welcome you to the program. If you want to participate in today's discussion, 28 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:38.560 I welcome you. Welcome you to do so by emailing me Todd at todoshow 29 00:02:38.639 --> 00:02:46.039 dot com. You can also text three one seven two one zero twenty eight 30 00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:51.479 thirty and you can jump on our social media channels and jump in there as 31 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.439 well share our content that would help those sorts of things as we are in 32 00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:00.400 growth mode here now that we've joined partnered with Audio one, now that we're 33 00:03:00.639 --> 00:03:07.039 expanding and so forth. If you want to help continue to get the message 34 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:08.520 out about this program, that would help us too. You can get on 35 00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:13.560 our social media channels, in particular Twitter and TikTok, which is crazy for 36 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:17.199 me to say we're on Instagram and Facebook tub but anyway, that's how you 37 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.240 can help, and that's where you can share your thoughts, feedback, opinions, 38 00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.560 and yes, always include that adoration and praise. So I want to 39 00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:30.199 start take a half a step back and kind of talk about what I talked 40 00:03:30.199 --> 00:03:37.439 about off the top, which is Kamala Harris being assigned or she's the spokesperson. 41 00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:43.879 She came out, she did a short video talking about anti semitism. 42 00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.639 Now, in fairness, she talks about anti semitism, she talks about hate 43 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.560 in multiple forms, and she denounces it in general, which is good. 44 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.039 I mean, anytime that we can have a politician in today's world, especially 45 00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:04.319 someone on the left, denounce all hatred, even hatred against maga Republicans folks, 46 00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:10.520 I'm going to start saying that they have magaphobia. These magaphobes out there. 47 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.800 They cannot see past their blind hatred and rage for Trump and for those 48 00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.839 who vote for Trump. But I do applaud. I do applaud, and 49 00:04:20.879 --> 00:04:25.240 it's just words, but I mean it takes a lot of gumption. I've 50 00:04:25.720 --> 00:04:31.360 encountered people who refuse to just state the obvious. For example, they refuse 51 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:38.199 oftentimes, these radical leftists, they refuse to say that the just a blanket 52 00:04:38.240 --> 00:04:43.360 statement. Innocent Palestinians dying, innocent Israeli's dying. Let's just take it across 53 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:48.000 the board. Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Atheist, white, black, 54 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:55.680 Hispanic Asian, male, female, no matter who it is, that is 55 00:04:55.720 --> 00:05:01.680 an innocent civilian who is caught up in any sort of violence, terrorism, 56 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:10.759 or some of these responses to the acts of terrorism. It is absolutely awful 57 00:05:11.000 --> 00:05:17.279 and terrible when innocent civilians, women and children are killed. I cannot believe 58 00:05:17.319 --> 00:05:21.319 I have to make this statement. I have to make it because many on 59 00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:26.959 the godless radical left refuse to make it. By the way, these are 60 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:30.560 the people who walk around cities like New York and they rip the posters, 61 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:40.720 riped the pictures down of kidnapped Israelis. You've seen this, undoubtedly, and 62 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:46.560 they feel justified they walk brazenly across college campuses through big cities, and they 63 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:54.839 walk up and they start ripping down pictures of people who have been kidnapped in 64 00:05:55.000 --> 00:06:00.560 these brutal terrorist attacks against the nation of Israel, and they feel justified. 65 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:06.399 They feel empowered because they have not been condemned universally, especially by those on 66 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:11.160 the left, especially like those like Rashida Talib in Congress, which we're going 67 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.720 to get to that in a moment and do course here. But I remember 68 00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.519 I played an audio sound bite a couple of weeks ago, and I say, 69 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.680 it's a sound bite of Rashida Tulib, but it really isn't a sound 70 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:29.279 bite of Rashida Talib, the radical leftist who is a member of Congress from 71 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:35.680 the state of Michigan. She is asked by a reporter if she can condemn 72 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:42.160 Hamas for the killing of babies, and she doesn't say a word. What 73 00:06:42.279 --> 00:06:46.319 is so hard about that? My friends? Why the reluctance to say that? 74 00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.079 And I understand there is a reluctance because she doesn't want some clip of 75 00:06:50.120 --> 00:07:00.439 her saying anything derogatory about Hamas or anything happening amongst the Palestinian people. If 76 00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:05.920 there's anything bad there. She wants there to be no video audio evidence that 77 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:15.759 she's said anything remotely close to critical of people that she is endorsing and supporting. 78 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:21.360 It sounds like, in total, in totality, just from beginning to 79 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:30.240 end, blanket endorsement of everything that happens there, and by contrast, blanket 80 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:36.800 disapproval of the people of Israel, of the Jewish people. She condones the 81 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:42.800 chanting of things like from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free, 82 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.879 which of course we've gone through. Of course, you know, if 83 00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.759 you don't know, the river they're referring to is the Jordan River, which 84 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:56.560 runs through eastern Israel, and to the sea that's the Mediterranean Sea, the 85 00:07:56.600 --> 00:08:05.000 border to the west. They want to i every person who is Jewish Israeli 86 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:11.000 into that sea. That is their solution. And we're told, we're told 87 00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:18.879 by these people with academic hats on, these pointy headed academics, these liberal, 88 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:24.959 very liberal leftists, tell us that the solution here is a ceasefire. 89 00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:31.480 Solution is a ceasefire. So you have hamas they come and they launch a 90 00:08:31.440 --> 00:08:33.960 Some have compared it to nine to eleven. By the way, if you're 91 00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.759 going to compare January sixth to nine to eleven, as some of these lunatics 92 00:08:39.759 --> 00:08:45.039 in Congress have done. If you're going to compare January sixth to nine to 93 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:50.200 eleven or January sixth to Pearl Harbor, which is what some of these jokers 94 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:54.080 and clowns have done on that January sixth commission. I don't know if Kensinger 95 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.960 did it. Kenzinger was thinking about doing it, if he didn't do it. 96 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.000 Liz Cheney, I don't know if she'd she was thinking about doing it, 97 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:03.720 if she didn't do it. But a lot of these leftists, a 98 00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.600 lot of these democrats, they have no problems, no problems calling a maga 99 00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:13.360 Republican, a conservative, someone on the what they'll call the far right, 100 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:18.720 or a domestic terrorist. But those words are not uttered. I just played 101 00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.519 a sound bite yesterday or the day before, Peter Doucy asking Karine Jean Pierre, 102 00:09:22.519 --> 00:09:28.240 spokesperson for the White House for the administration, that very question, if 103 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.519 Trump supporters, if Republicans, are domestic terrorists, can you say the same 104 00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.799 of those who are carrying out actual terrorist activities in Israel? And of course 105 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.639 there's a reluctance to do this. It's remarkable, really and I don't know 106 00:09:43.639 --> 00:09:48.240 if you've seen footage from around the world, by the way, as I'm 107 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.600 just envisioning that region and thinking, I don't know if you've seen Ertawan in 108 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:56.759 front of what appears to be the whole nation of Turkey, the streets flooded, 109 00:09:58.200 --> 00:10:03.679 seeing the things that he's saying to the people of Turkey, some things 110 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.679 that are very aggressive towards the West in general and specifically to the United States 111 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.600 of America, specifically to the nation of Israel. And this is happening all 112 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:20.440 over the Middle Eastern Muslim world, some places, of course more than others, 113 00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:24.320 of course, being led by the lunatics, the perpetrators of terror, 114 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:31.120 the state sponsors of terror, Iran themselves. So it is a tense situation. 115 00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:35.360 And I know that there's obviously, obviously there are things that the United 116 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.200 States of America has to be considerate of and aware of and to navigate this 117 00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:46.039 properly. But we have to defend. And when I say defend, I 118 00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.000 don't mean I'm not saying go to war. I'm just saying we have to 119 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:52.840 support. It starts with supporting, right, it starts with supporting Israel. 120 00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:56.320 It starts by speaking out against the atrocities, which we've done on this program, 121 00:10:56.399 --> 00:11:01.440 which many of you do in your circles, and calling out the real 122 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.240 hatred that I see that Kamala is supposed to be fighting, which she says 123 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.759 she's gonna fight. But when she gets to the end of her speech, 124 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:15.360 her three minute little video which I've got, I'll put it. It'll be 125 00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.399 in today's stack of stuff, but it will also be I tweeted it out. 126 00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:28.480 I think maybe maybe yesterday anyway. So there's obviously tension, there's hatred, 127 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.240 there's anger, there's fear in a lot of different places. There's no 128 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.240 doubt about that. The start of the hatred and the rage and the start 129 00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:43.000 of the problem is with the terrorists. This should go without saying. This 130 00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.399 should go without saying. Hamas is the problem. Hamas is the problem for 131 00:11:48.480 --> 00:11:54.559 those who have problems with Israel's response. And I know it is tragic sometimes 132 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:58.759 what is happening in the response, But why is the focus always on the 133 00:11:58.799 --> 00:12:05.759 response and not on the people who created the situation to begin with? This 134 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.799 is where talk like proportionality comes in and so forth. It's I don't think 135 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:16.159 that here in this country we have a clear understanding. You do but many 136 00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:22.080 people don't. Israel's a tiny nation surrounded by people that one it wiped off 137 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:26.320 the face of the planet, from terrorist organizations to the nation of Iran, 138 00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:33.440 to people in Syria, to people in Lebanon. Lebanon. There's a city 139 00:12:33.480 --> 00:12:39.240 here not too far from me that I call Lebanon, Indiana. But Lebanon, 140 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.039 I don't know if they call it. I don't think anybody calls it 141 00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:46.279 Lebanon, Indiana. But anyway, so we've got a tinder box. It's 142 00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.799 rooted in religion. There is millennia of history here, going back to Biblical 143 00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:56.960 times. It's a perfect storm in so many ways. Then you've got China 144 00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.360 and Russia on the peripher but sticking their nose in the situation. Then you've 145 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:07.799 got, of course Taiwan and China. You've got Ukraine and Russia. You 146 00:13:07.879 --> 00:13:13.720 got the United States, who's kind of got its nose everywhere. And in 147 00:13:13.759 --> 00:13:18.679 some ways I understand it. In some ways, I think the United States 148 00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:22.320 need needs to be a little bit more strategic and thoughtful here. By the 149 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:26.559 way, we can't just be writing blank checks to everybody or sending large amounts 150 00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:31.879 of money, as the House is working on sending a fourteen and a half 151 00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:37.159 billion dollar package to Israel. I think you can support I don't know when 152 00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:41.519 it happened when just by supporting someone we could we can deploy a carrier group, 153 00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:46.120 right, a couple of carrier groups if we need to, and say 154 00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.080 we're here just to you know, kind of send the message we don't want 155 00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:56.440 this to expand it to something else without sending massive amounts of money. Israel's 156 00:13:56.440 --> 00:13:58.919 got the tools to fight what it what she needs to fight. I don't 157 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.240 you can support something without saying we've got to send billions of dollars to something. 158 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:09.159 I don't. We've lost that apparently in America today. So you get 159 00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.519 this tension and turmoil, and then you've got Kamala who says, hey, 160 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.039 you know, or the Biden administration that says, hey, we're going to 161 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.200 fight, We're going to fight this hatred around the world, which I mean 162 00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:24.279 sounds great, right, I mean it sounds great, But the reality is 163 00:14:24.320 --> 00:14:30.399 these problems run really, really deep, and you cannot solve them with some 164 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:35.200 slick ad campaign for a president with the president. Can't you can't do some 165 00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:41.600 videos, you can't hold some some sort of a summit. You can't go 166 00:14:41.639 --> 00:14:45.480 and give a speech and think that this problem is solved. This problem runs 167 00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:50.600 incredibly deep. And on top of all of that, if you listen to 168 00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:54.000 Kamala's speech was maybe I'll play part of it. I don't know, but 169 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.480 Kamala talks about hatred and all forms, and I'm happy to hear finally a 170 00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:03.519 leftist come out and really to cry. Although they've been doing this more and 171 00:15:03.519 --> 00:15:07.120 more, but at first you didn't hear it as much the anti Semitism that's 172 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.360 been happening not just over there but here now. Right, So she goes 173 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:15.639 through all that, she talks about, all the hatred, anti Semitism, 174 00:15:15.919 --> 00:15:18.639 Islamophobia she mentions as well, which, by the way, to be one 175 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.440 hundred percent clear, as I said at the top, this to repeat the 176 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.320 obvious hatred and all forms violence in all forms against any group of people, 177 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:33.159 unprovoked and unnecessary. Right, if you're not defending yourself, if you're taking 178 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:39.159 an aggressive posture against the people because of something like the religion or race or 179 00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:43.679 whatever, we condemn that, right, We condemn that sort of behavior. 180 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.000 However, However, the idea to me, and I know it's anecdotal, 181 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:56.960 right, meaning just what I've seen in videos on social media, in news 182 00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:03.159 reports in the that have been showing up, you know, where people chant 183 00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.919 from the river to the sea, Palestine should be shall be free. When 184 00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:12.559 you look at all this, and I think the White House calls this a 185 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:18.039 task force or whatever they're calling it's it's to fight Islamophobia. That's the name 186 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.679 Islamophobia is in the title. And I'm thinking, of course, that's we 187 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:26.799 don't want people targeting anybody for any religion. But if you're gonna name it 188 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:30.519 something, why do you Why don't you pick anti Semitism? Because the ones 189 00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.080 that I'm seeing, what I'm aware of, and I'm I know, there's 190 00:16:34.120 --> 00:16:37.840 been a six year old child that was murdered, I think outside of Chicago 191 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:45.480 by a landlord. Reprehensible and evil, my friends, absolutely reprehensible and evil. 192 00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.080 But if I'm looking at sheer volume, if I'm looking at what's happening 193 00:16:49.159 --> 00:16:53.159 on college campuses, if I'm looking at what's happening in our city's streets, 194 00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:59.639 if I'm looking at what's happening in nations around the world, it's not an 195 00:16:59.679 --> 00:17:07.960 out pouring of Islamophobia. It's an outpouring of abject hatred, abject hatred for 196 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:14.599 Israel. For Jewish people, and it's just ironic to me that you would 197 00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:18.279 call it. You know how the left does this. You know how the 198 00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.759 left does this. They want to say, well, look, we're fighting 199 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.599 terrorism, my friends, we're not we and these terrorists, by the way, 200 00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.839 are claiming to be doing these things in the name of Allah, in 201 00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:37.599 the name of Islam. Now they another Muslim can say they are misinterpreting. 202 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:44.480 That's absolutely wrong. That doesn't go along with my faith, and there could 203 00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:48.599 be a fight amongst, you know, the Muslim community as to what is 204 00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:56.599 actually the correct form of that particular religion. But to deny that they're doing 205 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:02.519 it in the name of Allah is to I mean, they chant Allahu Akbar 206 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:06.839 as they're committing these acts of terrorism. And this is not this is something 207 00:18:06.880 --> 00:18:14.480 that a first grader could understand. And there's not a major outpouring people in 208 00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:21.440 the streets trying to round up And there's the video of Russia was a Dakistan 209 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.440 recently where they they stormed an airport because they heard a plane carrying Jewish people 210 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:33.440 were there, people that had done nothing had been They broke into and charged 211 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.960 the tarmac, trying to break into an aircraft that had landed. I'm aware 212 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:45.640 of nothing like this where people are systematically targeting people of the Muslim faith, 213 00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:49.960 and if they are, denounce it completely. If someone's fighting terrorism, that's 214 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.359 being that's being carried out in the name of Allah, don't tell me that's 215 00:18:55.400 --> 00:19:00.440 Islamophobia. That's a justifiable war on terror. But if someone's targeting some because 216 00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.160 of their Islamic belief, wrong, But if someone's targeting someone because of their 217 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:08.279 Jewish belief, absolutely wrong. I happen to see a ton more of the 218 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:15.000 anti Semitic behavior, much more than what they term Islamophobia, And so far 219 00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.160 as that happens, again, it's wrong. I just this is so basic, 220 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:23.920 an elementary stuff. But the hatred is so deep and so profound. 221 00:19:23.960 --> 00:19:30.319 And I'm telling you a lot of this stems directly from the hatred of the 222 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:33.440 God of the Bible, the God of the Old Testament, the God of 223 00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.119 the New Testament. People want nothing to do with him, those that have 224 00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.640 rejected him, and this is where it manifests itself sometimes. Anyway, timeouts 225 00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:45.200 in Order went really a long this segment with my friends. Oz tried her 226 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:48.119 best to keep me on task, she unfortunately failed. Quick time out next 227 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:59.000 segment will be condensed. Apologies in the van sit tight back in a minute, 228 00:20:04.480 --> 00:20:11.000 Welcome back, my friends. So as kind of an extension or turning, 229 00:20:11.119 --> 00:20:15.720 turning it a little bit the direction of the conversation, we talked about 230 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.759 the fight against hatred and Kamala being assigned to that. She's going to be 231 00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:25.839 the czar apparently, and boy, if she has as half as much success 232 00:20:26.359 --> 00:20:29.559 as she had along the border, I mean, then folks, this problem 233 00:20:29.559 --> 00:20:33.240 will be sold by solved by the end of the weekend. I mean, 234 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:40.000 she is on it. Kamala is absolutely on it. So we talked about 235 00:20:40.039 --> 00:20:44.319 that. But I again from my Vanish point. For my Vanish point, 236 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:51.880 it looks like there's a lot more organized hatred against the Jewish people against Israel 237 00:20:52.799 --> 00:21:00.759 then there is against peaceful Muslims. There there is anger and hatred towards hamas 238 00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:07.359 Islamic fascist terrorists, but there's not again I'm not There's examples of it, 239 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:12.400 and I condemn it completely. It's reprehensible and evil if someone targets someone simply 240 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:18.640 because of their faith, whatever that is Muslim or Christian or anything. But 241 00:21:18.720 --> 00:21:25.319 the idea that the main problem right now is Islamophobia is not something that computed 242 00:21:25.400 --> 00:21:29.240 now. For me, based on what I've seen to me, the problem 243 00:21:29.359 --> 00:21:37.039 is unequivocally hatred for Israel. Hatred justified, it's justified. It's justified on 244 00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:42.119 college campuses by professors. It's justified by some lunatics in the media. It's 245 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:48.559 justified by other radicals who have audiences and people paying attention to them. It's 246 00:21:48.599 --> 00:21:55.559 been justified in a lot of ways. Can you imagine if is the israelis 247 00:21:55.599 --> 00:21:59.720 if the Jewish people had the equivalent of the chant from the river to the 248 00:21:59.759 --> 00:22:03.359 sea, Israel shall be free. Can you imagine that? Would that be 249 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:10.599 allowed to be yelled on college campuses? What about physical intimidation of students on 250 00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:17.440 college campuses, particularly of Jewish students. I've seen a lot of examples of 251 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:23.279 this. Jewish students are coming out in droves talking about how fearful they are, 252 00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:30.279 how much anger and hatred and anti Semitism they've been subjected to in the 253 00:22:30.319 --> 00:22:37.400 past almost a month now. From my Vanish point, the problem clearly seems 254 00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:44.720 to be the organized problem seems to be anti Semitism, hatred of the Jewish 255 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:52.119 people, and hatred of the nation of Israel. So the kamala is on 256 00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.599 it probably going to be fixed by the end of the weekend. So peace 257 00:22:55.680 --> 00:23:00.599 will be restored on planet Earth without a doubt. So in response to all 258 00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:06.319 of this stuff, I guess one of the stories that have come from all 259 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:14.240 this tension and turmoil, the story domestically, domestically and politically is Rashida Talib. 260 00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:19.400 Rashida Talib, of course was speaking to a group of what some would 261 00:23:19.480 --> 00:23:27.440 call pro Palestinian protesters, what others would call pro Hamas sympathizers, and she 262 00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:33.319 was riling up the crowd in Washington, d C. And then of course 263 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:38.720 that crowd went into the Capitol Building. Now, I even said on this 264 00:23:38.759 --> 00:23:45.440 show, I made the comment that I guess we have a coup. I 265 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:51.039 guess someone is engaged in insurrection. Now, that was for political discourse. 266 00:23:51.079 --> 00:23:57.559 That was to connect the dots as to how anything that happened with any Trump 267 00:23:57.599 --> 00:24:02.599 supporters that could be tied to Donald Trump in any way shape, ban or 268 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.160 reform was used. It was weaponized against him. I never I never called 269 00:24:07.240 --> 00:24:15.119 for I never called for Rashida Taleb to be prosecuted, to be locked away 270 00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:22.640 for eternity if she if that did happen, you certainly wouldn't see me celebrating 271 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:29.000 as some of these jokers and losers candidly seem to celebrate at any of the 272 00:24:29.000 --> 00:24:33.559 misfortunes that Donald Trump may have, whether you're dealing with today, in the 273 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:37.880 future, in the past, whatever, they celebrate this, I just I 274 00:24:37.920 --> 00:24:41.920 can't even remotely. I am too busy, too busy living my life, 275 00:24:41.519 --> 00:24:45.640 too busy doing the things that I either think I need to do, want 276 00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:48.440 to do, trying to live, be a dad, do this show, 277 00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:55.000 grow this program, enjoy my family, all those sorts of things. I 278 00:24:55.039 --> 00:25:00.000 don't take any pleasure in someone else's misfortune that to me, I don't. 279 00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:03.920 It doesn't even cross my mind. It is so far from my way of 280 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:07.519 existing. And I'm guessing for many of you too. But some of these 281 00:25:07.559 --> 00:25:12.599 folks find their meaning, their meaning in life to watching Trump suffer in some 282 00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:17.319 way, shape, manner, or form. And so I made those comments 283 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.920 to paint the picture right, to paint the picture, to illustrate right. 284 00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.279 Rush used to say, we have to illustrate the absurd with the absurd, 285 00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:30.079 And so of course it wasn't an insurrection. But the point in saying, 286 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.000 are we gonna call this an insurrection? Why isn't this an insurrection is to 287 00:25:33.079 --> 00:25:38.480 point out the playtant double standard, right, to illustrate that, to pound 288 00:25:38.519 --> 00:25:44.319 don't home the message. If you go into the Capitol Building, if you 289 00:25:44.960 --> 00:25:49.480 storm the Capitol Building, are you engaged in an insurrection? If there is 290 00:25:49.559 --> 00:25:55.359 any violence amongst the people that are in your group, are you all engaged 291 00:25:55.400 --> 00:26:02.039 in insurrection? Right? And so I just think that there's not enough thoughtful 292 00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:06.960 thoughtfulness about this in the American public at large. There is, of course, 293 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:10.119 people like you and people that pay attention and care about these things, 294 00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:21.680 who think about these things anyway. So Marjorie Taylor Green introduced introduced a well, 295 00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:29.640 she was introducing legislative and that's not legislation, but to censure. She 296 00:26:30.319 --> 00:26:38.359 had put together a formal censor censure of Representative Rashida Tali because of what happened 297 00:26:38.880 --> 00:26:42.480 here in the past few weeks where she, you know, stirred people up, 298 00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:48.200 fueled the hatred, and then of course what happened to follow now. 299 00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:52.240 Of course, fueling all of this is how Donald Trump has been addressed and 300 00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:59.799 how his speech on January sixth has been portrayed, and how he's been blamed 301 00:26:59.839 --> 00:27:04.480 for the actions of everybody that day who did anything wrong whatsoever. And so 302 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:11.559 there's a difference between making the connection so that people understand the double standard. 303 00:27:12.799 --> 00:27:17.880 But Marjorie Taylor Green took it to the next step and said, let's actually 304 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:25.039 do something within our legislative body to formally, you know, make a point 305 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:32.079 of this. And so she introduces that this censureship, not censorships, sinsure 306 00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:37.599 c e n s ure of Representative Rashida Talib. It did not pass. 307 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:42.680 There were twenty three Republicans who did not vote for this, and this is 308 00:27:42.759 --> 00:27:47.160 upset a lot of people. I want to read something to you after the 309 00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:52.640 break quick time out from Representative Thomas Massey, because it's not as bad as 310 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:56.279 it appears. Because on the surface it seems like, my goodness, these 311 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:03.200 Republicans, these Republicans can't even can dim the actions of a radical like Rashida 312 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.240 Talib. But there's a lot more to it, and I just want to 313 00:28:06.279 --> 00:28:10.319 share that perspective because the immediate response for a lot of people is to be 314 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.720 outraged. And look, we do have whims in Congress. I talk about 315 00:28:12.720 --> 00:28:17.480 that regularly. I don't think that's what's going on here. I don't. 316 00:28:17.519 --> 00:28:19.839 It may be the case for some, but if you listen to what Thomas 317 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:26.599 Massey says, Representative from Kentucky. There's at least some context there that I 318 00:28:26.599 --> 00:28:30.519 think some of us can be what would be helpful for the overall conversation. 319 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:32.880 So we're gonna talk about that on the other side of the break. Sit 320 00:28:32.920 --> 00:28:44.920 tight, my friends, back in a minute. Welcome back, my friends. 321 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:48.200 I tweeted this out. This will be in the stack of stuff too, 322 00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:55.119 but I tweeted this out Thursday, early Thursday, I believe, after 323 00:28:55.240 --> 00:29:00.039 by the way, the Texas Rangers won the World Series. I tweeted this 324 00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:06.480 out early Thursday morning. And this is Thomas Massey, and this is and 325 00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:17.160 this is again Republican representative in Congress. He is he's a very I think, 326 00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:22.480 principled, well thought out conservative, and so this is he's one of 327 00:29:22.519 --> 00:29:29.960 the twenty three Republicans that did not vote to censure. He did not vote 328 00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:37.839 to censure Rashida Talib And this is what he writes January sixth protesters were not 329 00:29:38.039 --> 00:29:45.200 insurrectionists, nor were those led by Representative to leab. I voted to table 330 00:29:45.240 --> 00:29:51.720 a censure resolution of representative to leave in part because it was modeled after legislation 331 00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:57.279 condemned excuse me that condemned January sixth, the j six protesters. Also, 332 00:29:57.440 --> 00:30:03.440 free speech means detecting even the speech you don't like. He's right on this. 333 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:08.680 So he's got screenshots here of parts of the resolution that he's highlighted. 334 00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:12.440 One part of it says this on January sixth, Well, this is the 335 00:30:12.559 --> 00:30:21.839 January sixths, you know, just the resolution on what happened on January sixth. 336 00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:23.680 It says, on January sixth, twenty twenty one, a mob of 337 00:30:23.799 --> 00:30:30.039 insurrectionists forced its way into the US Capitol building and congressional office abilities and engaged 338 00:30:30.039 --> 00:30:36.400 in acts of vandalism, looting, and violently attacked Capitol police officers. So 339 00:30:36.440 --> 00:30:45.720 he compares that with a portion of the censors, the censor resolution that was 340 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:48.039 for Rashida to leave. And this is what this one reads. This is 341 00:30:48.039 --> 00:30:52.200 Marjorie Taylor Green's version, the one that the Republicans, the ones that the 342 00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:57.400 one that republic twenty three Republicans just voted against. Well, they voted to 343 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:00.039 table and it's not going to be RecA considered. So here it is. 344 00:31:00.920 --> 00:31:06.160 It reads as follows, whereas Rashida t Leib led an insurrection at the United 345 00:31:06.200 --> 00:31:10.519 States Capital Complex on April Excuse me, August eighteenth, twenty twenty three, 346 00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:14.880 which put members of Congress, their staffs, and capital visitors in danger by 347 00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:19.559 shutting down elevators, stairwells, and points of egress while obstructing official business in 348 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:26.880 both the House of Representatives and the Senate, including a Senate Foreign Affairs Committee 349 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:33.920 hearing, where As the insurrection led by Rashida to leave was organized by Jewish 350 00:31:34.079 --> 00:31:37.920 Voice for Peace. I'm not going to read the rest of it, but 351 00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.920 the point is they're using the term insurrection. And so Massy's point is, 352 00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:45.920 Look, if we're going to censure someone a member of this body, it 353 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:52.640 shouldn't be for their speech. And we shouldn't be trying to dramatize this and 354 00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:57.799 make it into something more. Now does that mean Does that mean that what 355 00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:01.559 happened when they got into the capital that that was a good thing? Does 356 00:32:01.599 --> 00:32:05.240 that mean that there shouldn't be other consequences? No, But to call it 357 00:32:05.279 --> 00:32:10.680 an insurrection is Massy's point. Massy's point is that's not what this is. 358 00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:17.000 Right, This isn't this can't be tit for tat you know somebody. I 359 00:32:17.039 --> 00:32:22.400 mean, if if we don't all agree, if we don't all. If 360 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:25.920 we're simply going to go from one side blaming the other and then the other 361 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:29.880 side upping the ante, and then it just keeps going back and forth, 362 00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:35.039 we're never going to solve these problems, and it's going to further lead to 363 00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:38.480 the weaponization of the government against against other people. Rashida Tsalib, let me 364 00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:44.519 say, from my vanished point, has no business being in Congress. Yeah, 365 00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:49.640 I mean she's elected by her representatives and that's that's who they've elected. 366 00:32:49.720 --> 00:32:53.279 So in that sense, she does. I'm talking about from an objective perspective 367 00:32:53.319 --> 00:33:00.240 that says, here's an individual who hates America as founded. Here's an individual 368 00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:07.000 individual who is in many ways a sympathizer and a defender of the Hamas terrorists. 369 00:33:07.000 --> 00:33:09.880 From my vantage point, I don't think anybody like that should should be 370 00:33:09.920 --> 00:33:15.559 elected to Congress. But she's been elected. She also has free speech, 371 00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:21.519 and these principles need to be adhered to even when even when the other side 372 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.680 doesn't. And this is the decision I think many Republicans are going to have 373 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:27.519 to make. We need to fight back, definitely, we need for Republicans 374 00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.400 to quit being whips, definitely, but we also have to remain true to 375 00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:36.400 our principles even when the others don't. And I don't say that from some 376 00:33:36.519 --> 00:33:39.960 position of like, look how great I am. That's not how I mean 377 00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:45.000 this at all. I just mean this in the best interest of solving the 378 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:52.720 problems, in the best interest of having integrity. We have to we have 379 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:59.279 to be able to do things with that integrity. Then it doesn't mean someone 380 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:05.440 else made this. Agree with that assessment that Massy just gave out. But 381 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:09.199 to think that he's just suddenly someone who's okay with people being pro Hamas, 382 00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:17.599 that's not the conclusion to draw because that's not his beef with the resolution to 383 00:34:17.719 --> 00:34:22.480 censure Rashida to lead. So wanted to share that with you. Share your 384 00:34:22.480 --> 00:34:24.960 thoughts with me on that. By the way, you can do that on 385 00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:28.679 any of those issues.

If you are a business owner, if you are 388 00:34:45.239 --> 00:34:50.599 a salesperson, if you are a sales manager, if you are responsible involved 389 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:58.519 with thinking about concerned about sales at your place of employment, the company that 390 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:02.039 you own or work at, if you're concerned about sales. If you need 391 00:35:02.119 --> 00:35:07.320 help managing your sales team, coaching, training your sales team, want to 392 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.119 introduce you to a friend of mine named Crispin Cruz.

There was something else that I wanted that I 409 00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:37.840 wanted to get to today, and I'm looking here just at the clock. 410 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:43.559 I just I just don't have I just don't have the time, my friends. 411 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:46.480 I was going to address a question from a reader, but I tell 412 00:36:46.480 --> 00:36:52.840 you what I will address is another question that I get asked regularly that I 413 00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:55.159 just go ahead and tell you, because I'm gonna say it here in a 414 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:59.760 minute, say it. At the end of this program. One of the 415 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:05.519 most common questions I get is what do What does S d G mean? 416 00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:09.599 SDG? The letter S as in Sam, the letter D is in dog, 417 00:37:09.679 --> 00:37:14.800 the letter G is in Gary SDG. I end every program by saying 418 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.039 that, and the reason I do that, the reason I do this. 419 00:37:17.119 --> 00:37:25.880 I read some time ago that there was a composer. Bach was the composer, 420 00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:35.199 and when he would finish writing his music, Johan Sebastian Bach in the 421 00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.559 margins, he would write S d G, which meant which was abbreviated for 422 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:45.719 solely deo gloria, which means to God be the Glory, and it was 423 00:37:45.760 --> 00:37:49.960 his way of saying, I did my best. This is what I could 424 00:37:50.000 --> 00:37:53.199 come up with, you know, to God be the Glory for what the 425 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.719 music that he helped me create is. And so in a sense, it's 426 00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:02.519 a stamp saying at the end of the program for me that I've done everything 427 00:38:02.559 --> 00:38:08.639 I can to God be the Glory, and that is something that is important 428 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:13.920 to me as as a follower of Jesus, and I just want you to 429 00:38:13.960 --> 00:38:16.400 know what that means. And I've been asked that on a regular basis. 430 00:38:16.920 --> 00:38:20.920 I'm happy to share it. There's a whole bunch of you know, we 431 00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:23.119 can get into some details on that, but suffice it to say that that 432 00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:27.760 is the short answer for a question that I get on a semi regular basis. 433 00:38:27.800 --> 00:38:30.039 So timeout is in order of my friends, Sit tight, be back 434 00:38:30.039 --> 00:38:37.039 in a minute. Welcome back to my friends. I wrote a little bit 435 00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:42.880 of something on Twitter about this Wednesday, late Wednesday night. I just want 436 00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:44.320 to say this here at the end of the week. I don't have a 437 00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:49.559 lot of time, but I was raised to be an Indiana University basketball fan. 438 00:38:49.639 --> 00:38:53.239 I was my mom and dad were big IU fans, especially my dad, 439 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:57.880 although as they've gotten older, I think Mom might be a bigger fan. 440 00:38:57.960 --> 00:39:00.840 My grandparents were almost seemed to be a requirement in the part of the 441 00:39:00.880 --> 00:39:05.960 state that I grew up in as a kid, not too far from Bloomington, 442 00:39:05.960 --> 00:39:08.639 I don't know, maybe forty minutes or so to the north of Bloomington, 443 00:39:08.639 --> 00:39:14.360 which is of course home to Indiana University. But Bobby Knight passed away 444 00:39:15.000 --> 00:39:22.880 Wednesday evening and just reminded me of all the times watching that program that he 445 00:39:22.000 --> 00:39:25.679 built as a kid, so just wanted to share that as well. Folks, 446 00:39:25.719 --> 00:39:29.039 I've got to go. Thanks for listening. SDG.
