WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.080 So it seems quite clear that the new year kicked 2 00:00:03.080 --> 00:00:11.119 off with two terrorist attacks. The destruction of the detonation 3 00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:16.160 of a Tesla cyber truck right outside of a Trump 4 00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:22.600 hotel in Las Vegas and the truck attack along with 5 00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:34.600 an attempt at detonating several IED's in New Orleans. At 6 00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:40.920 the same time, a massive pro Palestinian rally was happening 7 00:00:41.479 --> 00:00:47.600 in New York, where people were chanting such lovely phrases 8 00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:49.560 as globalize the Intifado. 9 00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.359 Now, I want. 10 00:00:53.200 --> 00:01:01.960 To talk about something I read on Twitter that Title 11 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:06.359 eight of the US Code US Code Title eight, Section 12 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:12.280 one two two seven in certain places identify certain kinds 13 00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:16.680 of aliens who can be deported, And this Twitter account 14 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:22.239 was sort of trying to argue people who support terrorism 15 00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:32.560 who are not citizens can be deported in one of 16 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:35.239 these sub sections gives a kind of definition of the 17 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.439 sorts of people who could be deported if they're not 18 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:44.400 citizens and they're in the country. If they're they're in 19 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:48.560 the country perhaps legally, but they are not American citizens. 20 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:56.400 Any alien who quote endorses or espouses terrorist activity, or 21 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:01.319 persuades others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support 22 00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:11.280 a terrorist organization now I've been a little more ambivalent 23 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:20.120 about the Israel Palestine conflict than a lot of other conservatives. Certainly, 24 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:27.000 I think Hamas is completely disgusting and horrible and bad, 25 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.960 et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I think that their 26 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:37.719 attack in October of last year was completely unjustified, unjustifiable, unprovoked. 27 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:42.840 I think their conduct throughout the war has been completely 28 00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:48.919 insane and evil. The fact that they can't give Israel 29 00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:52.560 back the hostages they took in all likelihood because most 30 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:58.639 of those hostages, I'm guessing are dead. They have high 31 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:04.840 civilian casualties, no small part, because that's their strategy. They 32 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:10.240 deliberately put their civilians in harm's way because their whole concept, 33 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:17.520 the whole concept of these sort of radical Islamic thinkers, 34 00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:22.520 they don't think of war in Western terms. They don't 35 00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:25.520 think of just war and just conduct in war in 36 00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.680 Western terms. But they know that we do. They know 37 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:33.879 that we make distinctions between civilians and combatants. They don't 38 00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:38.879 care about that distinction other than to use the distinction 39 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:44.319 to their pr advantage. So they're totally fine with civilians 40 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:49.319 dying for the sake of jihad. They make no distinction, 41 00:03:50.599 --> 00:03:58.080 and so they'll deliberately place their military assets under hospitals, 42 00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:01.560 under schools, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, so that 43 00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:04.840 they have high civilian casualties when Israel tries to take 44 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.759 out those military targets, and then they will run to 45 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:12.319 the press with a wildly overinflated count of how many 46 00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:16.519 civilians have died? Well, I should say how many people 47 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:20.040 have died. They make no distinction between who is a 48 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:25.399 civilian versus who is a combatant, and the line between 49 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:29.680 civilian and combatant is very flimsy. You know, are you 50 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.399 a eighteen year old high school kid or are you 51 00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:36.199 an eighteen year old you know who someone puts an 52 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.800 AK forty seven in your hands and you're helping people 53 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:44.720 fire rockets they don't have. You know, they'll engage in 54 00:04:44.839 --> 00:04:51.000 all kinds of violations of international law when it comes to, 55 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:59.079 you know, being identifiable as soldiers versus not identifiable as soldiers, 56 00:04:59.439 --> 00:04:59.920 et cetera. 57 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:05.800 So totally, you know, totally get all that. 58 00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.720 I've just been leery of the idea that the United 59 00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:16.600 States needs to pay for this war. Nonetheless, the United States, 60 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:18.439 I've been leary that the United States needs to pay 61 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:19.879 for this war. I've been leary of the idea that 62 00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:21.639 we need to be involved in it at all, that 63 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:24.720 we need to give Israel ten billion dollars, that we 64 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.480 need to have any say whatsoever over what's going on here, 65 00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:33.000 or that our that we need to have involvement at all. 66 00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:38.160 I've been very frustrated at the idea of America fighting 67 00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:41.199 proxy wars all over the world, which is what's happening 68 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.600 right now. A proxy wars where someone stands in for 69 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:48.199 you as your proxy, and that's what America's basically done. 70 00:05:48.199 --> 00:05:52.000 We've had these votes in Congress on military funding for Ukraine, 71 00:05:52.199 --> 00:05:56.560 for Israel, and we treat it as a vote on 72 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.439 military funding when that's not what it is. It's a 73 00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.600 declaration of proxy war. We are at proxy war with Russia, 74 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.120 We are at proxy war with Hamas, and that has 75 00:06:10.319 --> 00:06:16.800 real ramifications and consequences to it, you know, very similar. 76 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:19.000 I mean the idea of oh, we couldn't go to 77 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.720 war with normal war with Russia, that would inflame tensions, Well, 78 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:26.839 what's the difference. I feel like there should be way 79 00:06:26.879 --> 00:06:29.920 more focused, way more attention, way more scrutiny paid on 80 00:06:29.959 --> 00:06:32.399 members of Congress when they're voting for military funding because 81 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:38.639 the negative foreign policy consequences of funding someone in a 82 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.160 war can come back to bite you in the rear end. 83 00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:55.040 Now I've disliked all that, but again I'm fairly morally 84 00:06:55.079 --> 00:07:00.560 clear about the Israel Palestine conflict. I do have questions 85 00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.519 about is all of Israel's conduct in the course of 86 00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.000 the war. Just I read stuff and see stuff from 87 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:11.519 Christian sources in the Middle East who aren't exactly thrilled 88 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:13.839 with Israel's conduct over the course of the war and 89 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:17.040 think some of their conduct is excessive. So again, it's 90 00:07:17.040 --> 00:07:22.959 not me saying it's Christians in the Holy Land saying that. Nonetheless, 91 00:07:24.199 --> 00:07:30.240 Hamas is a terrorist organization. It is designated by our 92 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:35.519 I believe, by the State Department as a terrorist organization. 93 00:07:36.600 --> 00:07:37.560 Their whole. 94 00:07:38.920 --> 00:07:42.720 Sort of founding documents for when Hamas first came into being, 95 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:47.480 it's premised around the idea of killing all the Jews, 96 00:07:47.519 --> 00:07:50.680 Like it's like, find every Jew under every rock and 97 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.920 behind every bush and kill them all. That's genuinely what 98 00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:58.079 they believe. They're a terrorist organization. They are an Iranian 99 00:07:58.399 --> 00:08:02.639 funded proc see, they're a proxy themselves of the Iranians, 100 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:08.680 and they're a terrorist organization, they want to kill people 101 00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:10.519 in terroristic ways. 102 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:17.040 So I guess that's. 103 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:20.920 I guess one of the things that a new Trump 104 00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:27.160 administration should ask about and maybe get some questions about, 105 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.879 is how many of the student protesters who were in 106 00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:37.559 the who were on college campuses in the United States 107 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:44.519 last spring, especially, who were setting up camps and engaged 108 00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:47.120 in protests, and not just any kinds of protests, by 109 00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:52.799 the way, some on some college campuses, really nasty protests 110 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:57.919 where they were threatening and intimidating Jewish students, where Jewish 111 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.679 students felt like they couldn't even walk around on certain 112 00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:04.519 parts of their own campus, where Jewish students were basically 113 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:12.480 being advised to stay away, really nasty stuff. 114 00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:14.600 That those Jewish students. 115 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:21.120 Could have really solid grounds for civil rights lawsuits against 116 00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.679 their own colleges for not stopping this kind of this 117 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.919 kind of thing. I mean that there's plenty of civil 118 00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:31.320 rights law around this that would allow these Jewish students, 119 00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:39.240 I think, to take their universities to the cleaners. Now, 120 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.159 let's talk about these individual protesters on these college campuses 121 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.279 as well as the protests that are happening in New York, 122 00:09:47.600 --> 00:09:54.639 and I would say, if there are non citizens at 123 00:09:54.679 --> 00:10:03.279 these events who are explicitly supporting Hamad. Yes, that could 124 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:07.080 be a deportable person. Now, the problem is you run 125 00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:12.679 up against the First Amendment or the I guess maybe 126 00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:18.639 more so, the problem is you're running up against precisely 127 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:28.879 what are these protesters protesting. Are they protesting one in 128 00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:39.840 explicit favor of Hamas. Are they protesting two against what 129 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:45.919 they perceive to be excesses in Israel's war on Hamas? 130 00:10:47.799 --> 00:10:48.080 Three? 131 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:54.240 Are they protesting against the project of Zionism, i e. 132 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.120 The establishment of the Jewish state of a Jewish state 133 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:05.879 of Israel, which was effect in nineteen forty eight, and 134 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.960 which was accomplished through the expulsion of a certain number 135 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:19.240 of Transjordainians, Palestinians, Muslims, Arab Muslim people of some sort 136 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.600 from their homes their residences in that region in nineteen 137 00:11:25.639 --> 00:11:31.360 forty eight. What exactly are they protesting for? I think 138 00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:34.120 that would be the difficult thing. I think there's some 139 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.639 conservatives who just sort of think, you know, just a 140 00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:38.519 snap of the fingers and a waggle of your nose 141 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:43.120 and you can deport thousands and thousands of people. And 142 00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:47.799 I think it's going to be extraordinarily difficult to accomplish, 143 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:50.519 because again, I think for any one of these people 144 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:56.600 who were engaged in these somewhat revolting protests that we 145 00:11:56.679 --> 00:12:00.159 saw on college campuses last year, whether it was people. 146 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:02.879 You know, marching in the streets of New. 147 00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:09.600 York City, if you can show that someone is if 148 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:12.559 you can show for any non citizen involved in it, 149 00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.440 that what they were doing was supporting Hamas or supporting 150 00:12:17.480 --> 00:12:22.720 Hamas's terrorist conduct, if you could show that, then yeah, 151 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:27.399 maybe they're deportable. But I think that's going to be very, 152 00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:30.039 very hard to prove because and of course there's going 153 00:12:30.080 --> 00:12:32.879 to be just an army of ACLU type lawyers coming 154 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:34.960 to the defense of these people if Trump tries to 155 00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:45.919 initiate proceedings against them. But if you've got someone who's 156 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:50.279 I don't know, holding a Hamas flag, chanting Hamas slogans, whatever, 157 00:12:53.039 --> 00:12:57.759 maybe that's something different. I think there has for a 158 00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:09.720 long time been gross unsavory connections between the Islamic Brotherhood 159 00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:17.559 and care. The Council on American Islamic Relations American Islamic 160 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.000 Relations has sort of inserted itself within the panoply of 161 00:13:21.039 --> 00:13:26.440 sort of left wing, left wing nonprofity kind of causes, 162 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.480 and it's had different kinds of ties with unsavory characters 163 00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.279 in the Middle East. One of the founders of CARE, 164 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.799 Nihad Awad, who founded the organization in nineteen ninety four 165 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:51.440 with Omar Ahmad and Rafik Jabet. Nihad Awad had been 166 00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:55.039 the public relations director for the Islamic Association for Palestine, 167 00:13:55.399 --> 00:13:58.879 which the FBI described as quote a front organization for 168 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:09.360 Hamas that engages in propaganda for Islamic militants. He's also 169 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.759 he also had been the head of CARE, the founding 170 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:22.799 member of the Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee. So I think 171 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:26.440 they're I guess I'm not sure that the odds of 172 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:31.200 being able to deport a bunch of people for supporting Hamas. 173 00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:34.720 And I think the sad thing to remember is that 174 00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:41.039 this guy who drove this truck into this big crowd 175 00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:44.360 of people in New Orleans, the guy they well, they 176 00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:46.919 didn't catch him. I guess they killed him. This guy 177 00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:53.840 was an American citizen and an Army veteran. And it 178 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.840 makes you wonder, you know, the guy's been described as 179 00:14:57.879 --> 00:15:01.759 sort of trouble gone through de he was becoming more 180 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:07.960 and more disillusioned somehow isis was something that was attractive 181 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.080 to him and came to sort of inspire him and 182 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.679 seems like inspired him to do this particular act. So 183 00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:20.039 I guess I'm we're not sure at this point. I mean, 184 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:21.879 we know it's terrorism. I'm not going to be like 185 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:24.039 the FBI head in New Orleans is like, oh, it's 186 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:27.720 unclear if this is a terrorist attack. Well, it's clearly terroristic. 187 00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:33.679 Well what are you talking about. You're not planting bombs around, 188 00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.960 you know, the French Quarter and driving a truck into 189 00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:40.039 a big crowd of people without it being terroristic. I 190 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:46.080 guess the question is is this connected to organized networks 191 00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:54.759 of State Department designated terrorist organizations, international terrorist organizations? That's 192 00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:59.399 the question. It's obviously a terrorist act. The question is 193 00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:02.720 is this guy more or less working alone? Was there 194 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:08.559 any coordination between this guy in New Orleans versus and 195 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:11.360 the guy in Las Vegas who blew up a Tesla 196 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:15.240 cyber truck right outside of Trump Hotel? Was there any coordination? 197 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:19.440 There was there any coordination with international terrorist groups? That's 198 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:21.360 the kind of stuff we're not one hundred percent sure of. 199 00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:27.919 I guess, I. 200 00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:37.919 You know, I guess I'm waiting to see that. But 201 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:41.320 I don't know that the United States is going to 202 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:45.320 have the ability to deport basically all of these people 203 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.000 who are in the country who support who. 204 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.519 Maybe they do support Humas, but. 205 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.399 It's going to be really hard to be able to 206 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:59.080 convict someone to vindicate that in a court proceeding when 207 00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:02.600 these people are it, when the United States may try 208 00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:03.840 to deport these people. 209 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:06.240 When we return. 210 00:17:06.319 --> 00:17:09.720 Just a quick thought on Hamas. That is next on 211 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:14.000 the John Roardy Show. Just a thought on hamas As. 212 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:22.599 There was this big rally in New York yesterday for Palestine. 213 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:26.240 One of the things that has annoyed me about the 214 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:33.440 kind of Biden Establishment Democrat reaction to the Israel Palestine 215 00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:39.559 war is the repetition of this mantra, we need to 216 00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:43.039 pursue the two state solution. We need to pursue the 217 00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:45.680 two state solution. Pursue the two state solution. The two 218 00:17:45.720 --> 00:17:48.440 state solution, the two state solution the only way forward. 219 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:57.160 It's like this, It's like this comforting mantra that Biden 220 00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.319 has to cling to. It's the only thing he can 221 00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:05.319 say when he when he talks about the topic. Uh, 222 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.200 there needs to be a peaceful two state solution. 223 00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.799 Two state solution going forward. 224 00:18:12.400 --> 00:18:15.279 And I think it's because Bill Clinton got so freaking 225 00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:20.559 close to actually accomplishing a two state solution when he 226 00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:30.319 was president, until Yasir Arafat scuttled the whole thing. He 227 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:34.039 gave the Palestinians everything they wanted. Here's your place, you 228 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.680 get this, you get that, you get but but but bah, 229 00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:40.519 here you go, you get your own state. You get Israel. 230 00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:43.920 Get out of this the everything you want, Yes, Sir Arafat. 231 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:46.119 And at the last minute, Yes, Airfat pulled the rug 232 00:18:46.119 --> 00:18:49.319 out from under Clinton and said, Nah, don't want to 233 00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.759 and then the Palestinians proceeded to initiate a bunch of 234 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:57.599 terrorist attacks against Israel. And I think it it is 235 00:18:57.680 --> 00:19:00.720 the one thing, the one thing thing that I think 236 00:19:00.759 --> 00:19:04.799 Bill Clinton wishes he could have. It's probably the greatest 237 00:19:04.799 --> 00:19:09.960 regret of Clinton's presidency, you know, was not being able 238 00:19:10.640 --> 00:19:13.559 to get that accomplished. I mean, to this day, that's 239 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.920 the one thing about Jimmy Carter that people talk oh 240 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:20.000 the Camp David Accords. And although there's actually some evidence 241 00:19:20.039 --> 00:19:23.319 now that Carter's role in the Camp David Accords was 242 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:29.519 far less, far less important, that actually was anwar Sadat 243 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:32.519 and the Prime Minister of Israel Bagan, I guess his 244 00:19:32.599 --> 00:19:38.200 name was them sort of getting together themselves, whereas Carter 245 00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:40.759 was like trying to get the Soviet Union in on 246 00:19:40.839 --> 00:19:43.799 the peace steel and like all these other players, and 247 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:46.160 it was it was sort of a silly thing. Anyway, 248 00:19:47.160 --> 00:19:49.519 Jimmy Carter to this day can talk about, oh see, 249 00:19:49.559 --> 00:19:52.480 I broke her peace between Israel and Egypt, and that's 250 00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:56.359 like the one thing Carter's got on his legacy. Clinton 251 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.599 really wanted it and he never got it. Here's the 252 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.400 problem with continuing to say to state solution. It made 253 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:16.599 some sense in the Arafat era because Arafat wasn't Hamas Yasir. 254 00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.559 Arafat was actually more moderate in spite of the fact 255 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:27.000 that he was, you know, a terrorist, et cetera. Arafat 256 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:33.279 was part of a different political party from Hamas. There 257 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:36.759 was Hamas and then there was Fatah. He was the 258 00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:44.880 head of Fatah, and Fatah was more secular, less religious 259 00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:48.400 extremists than Hamas. Now he kind of wound up being 260 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.319 the kingpin among the Palestinians and was able to sort 261 00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:56.680 of utilize the total Islamic loon crazies for his own ends. 262 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.880 But Arafat, I mean in the Arafat era. With him 263 00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.839 in charge, maybe you could have attained a two state solution. 264 00:21:10.200 --> 00:21:15.640 Maybe someone like him, who isn't inspired by total fundamentalist 265 00:21:15.839 --> 00:21:20.839 Sharia lunacy, he maybe could have broke her to two 266 00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:24.240 state solution. You're not getting a two state solution from Hamas. 267 00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:30.720 Their whole reason for existence, like in their founding documents, 268 00:21:31.799 --> 00:21:32.680 is it's to. 269 00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.880 Kill every single Jew. 270 00:21:35.440 --> 00:21:38.160 That's what they when they say from the river to 271 00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:43.200 the sea, Palestine will be free, they mean no more 272 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.960 state of Israel. The whole state of Israel is contained. 273 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:50.440 For those who are deficient in geography, let me remind 274 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:52.359 you what the river and what the sea is. 275 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:55.880 The river is the Jordan River. The sea is the 276 00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.000 Mediterranean Sea. 277 00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.640 All of the modern, the modern day nation state of 278 00:22:01.720 --> 00:22:08.480 Israel is entirely contained in between the river and the sea. 279 00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:10.720 So if you've got someone saying from the river to 280 00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:12.839 the sea, Palestine will be free, what they mean is 281 00:22:12.880 --> 00:22:14.119 no more state of Israel. 282 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:17.039 They don't want a two state solution. And that's the thing. 283 00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.359 It will be refreshing for a new state department to 284 00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:25.759 come into existence that at least whatever deficiencies. It may happen. 285 00:22:25.839 --> 00:22:30.400 It may have many deficiencies, God knows. At the very 286 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:36.799 least one deficiency they won't have is this continual reliance 287 00:22:36.880 --> 00:22:40.440 on the crutch of a two state solution. You can't 288 00:22:40.440 --> 00:22:43.680 have a two state solution if one of the parties 289 00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:49.680 doesn't want the other party to exist. The guys in 290 00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:55.000 the hamask, guys in Gaza don't want Israel to exist. 291 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:02.119 Seemingly large centers of the Palestinians who supported what Hamas 292 00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.039 did on October sent seventh, not just in Gaza but 293 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:11.079 also in the West Bank, they. 294 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.680 Don't really want Israel to exist either. 295 00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:17.119 So I guess, I ask, why do we keep repeating this, Oh, 296 00:23:17.160 --> 00:23:19.359 you need the two state solution, as if, as if 297 00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:22.920 Israel's had fault Israel who is offered a two state 298 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:28.640 solution and had it rejected by Yaser, Era, Fat, et cetera. 299 00:23:31.400 --> 00:23:33.319 All right, when we return, I want to talk about 300 00:23:34.920 --> 00:23:39.880 having a senile, feeble president in the midst of terrorist attacks. 301 00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.160 Next on the John Girardi Show. 302 00:23:43.079 --> 00:23:49.039 A lot of the commentary around President Biden's aging was insufficient. 303 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:51.400 Obviously, over the course of the last four years. 304 00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:56.519 Everyone on the left effectively covered it up. Everyone in 305 00:23:56.559 --> 00:24:00.319 the media who obviously could have known about it, didn't 306 00:24:00.319 --> 00:24:02.960 pursue the story, didn't report down it because they didn't 307 00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:03.319 want to. 308 00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:05.119 They all knew. 309 00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:08.960 Biden has the best shot of beating Donald Trump in 310 00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:13.160 twenty twenty four, so let's just shut up about his 311 00:24:13.480 --> 00:24:16.880 And it was also this undercurrent of Kamala Harris would 312 00:24:16.920 --> 00:24:21.720 get her ass kicked by Donald Trump, which did in 313 00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:25.400 fact happen, and so everyone's like, all right, we'll just 314 00:24:25.480 --> 00:24:28.119 not talk about Biden being obviously senile. And so they 315 00:24:28.119 --> 00:24:32.440 didn't talk about Biden being obviously senile for four years, 316 00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.519 and then finally in the June twenty twenty four debate, 317 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:41.599 it became so painfully obvious that they had to do something. 318 00:24:42.039 --> 00:24:44.319 And I at the time was sort of baffled how 319 00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:46.880 this wasn't a bigger narrative, even from people on the right. 320 00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:56.519 How is Biden not abel not able either physically or mentally, 321 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.799 which was what all these Democrats conceded, He's either not 322 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:05.880 physically mentally whatever able to run for president, but he 323 00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:11.279 is physically mentally whatever able to be president. Undoubtedly, being 324 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.680 president is or ought to be a harder job than 325 00:25:14.759 --> 00:25:19.000 running for president, and it's a far more important, critical job. 326 00:25:20.680 --> 00:25:22.920 You're the commander in chief of the Armed Forces. You 327 00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:25.559 are in charge of the entire executive branch of government. 328 00:25:25.559 --> 00:25:28.400 You're overseeing law enforcement and enforcement of criminal laws and 329 00:25:28.440 --> 00:25:32.039 civil laws and environmental regulation than this and that, about 330 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:39.079 one hundred billion, overseeing how a multi trillion dollar budget 331 00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:44.319 is spent every year. You're the singular hinge on which 332 00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:49.400 the whole system swings of executive authority. All executive officials 333 00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:53.279 are exercising your delegated authority. They need to do so 334 00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:58.240 in accordance with what you decide. He's the essential man. 335 00:25:58.279 --> 00:26:06.759 Whoever is president is the essential man. How can we 336 00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:11.039 allow someone who's not physically or mentally ready to go 337 00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:17.519 be in that seat? And I've heard people say, you know, 338 00:26:17.799 --> 00:26:20.720 it's such a it's this horrible thing that the media 339 00:26:20.759 --> 00:26:24.559 and Vice President Harris did that left the United States 340 00:26:25.160 --> 00:26:25.640 at risk. 341 00:26:27.640 --> 00:26:29.640 I don't think there's enough screaming right now. 342 00:26:32.119 --> 00:26:37.079 It didn't leave us at risk in the past tense. 343 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:42.359 It it's not like it left us at risk. 344 00:26:42.839 --> 00:26:48.640 It is currently leaving us at risk for another eighteen days. 345 00:26:53.519 --> 00:26:58.000 That's the plan is for us to have an executive 346 00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:02.640 ahead of the Armed Forces Commander in chief of the 347 00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:07.920 Armed Forces, who may very well be in the throes 348 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:15.160 of dementia. Right. Jim Garrity has a good little piece 349 00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:29.759 in National Review talking about this, where he writes he 350 00:27:29.839 --> 00:27:33.359 had this too. Around mid afternoon yesterday, when it became 351 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.119 clear that the country had suffered two simultaneous terrorist attacks, 352 00:27:37.920 --> 00:27:40.960 people started to notice that the only response from President 353 00:27:41.039 --> 00:27:44.440 Joe Biden had been a two paragraph release statement that 354 00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:50.359 he was being quote continually briefed. Finally, in the early 355 00:27:50.440 --> 00:27:58.440 evening hours, our squinty, mumbling president read off a teleprompter 356 00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:02.279 for four minutes, and after pledging we will keep you 357 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:06.839 fully contemporaneously informed, immediately just turned around and walked away 358 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.720 without answering a single question, which is a classic Biden move. 359 00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.440 We'll keep you informed, say a shuffle shuffle, shuffle shuffle. 360 00:28:21.440 --> 00:28:23.920 We are still at risk. We are at imminent risk. 361 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:31.000 Here it just drives me insane. Jeff Blaar writes for 362 00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:36.640 National Review. Had this was anyone reassured by that speech? 363 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:41.279 Did it alleviate anyone's unease that the sitting president of 364 00:28:41.319 --> 00:28:45.200 the United States is a half functional, quasi vegetative person 365 00:28:45.240 --> 00:28:47.960 At this point, I'm also here to ask why we 366 00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.920 as Americans have become so cavalier about the fact that 367 00:28:51.160 --> 00:28:57.519 tolerating a president who is permanently mentally incapacitated invites crises 368 00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:02.240 like these nineteen days now today, eighteen days yet remain 369 00:29:02.359 --> 00:29:05.599 until the animate shell of Joe Biden formally departs from 370 00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:10.759 the presidency. Pray for peace and hold your breath until then. 371 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:18.680 Perfectly well stated, I just don't understand. I don't understand 372 00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:20.559 how they got away with it. I don't understand how 373 00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:25.400 conservatives didn't yell and scream about this more than anything 374 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:32.200 else starting in June. You should have had the Speaker 375 00:29:32.240 --> 00:29:36.920 of the House, the Senate. You should have had Donald 376 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.799 Trump the speaker House Senate minority leader every single day saying, Kamala, 377 00:29:41.000 --> 00:29:44.640 if Joe Biden is not physically fit mentally fit to 378 00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:47.799 run for president, he shouldn't be president. Kamala Harris needs 379 00:29:47.799 --> 00:29:51.240 to invoke the twenty fifth Amendment and remove Kamala Harris 380 00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:53.839 and the president's cabinet need to invoke the twenty fifth 381 00:29:53.880 --> 00:30:03.160 Amendment and remove him from office. So the twenty fifth 382 00:30:03.160 --> 00:30:11.519 Amendment it allows for the president to be declared unable 383 00:30:11.839 --> 00:30:18.200 to serve in the office. It says in section four 384 00:30:18.720 --> 00:30:21.400 whenever the Vice president and a majority of either the 385 00:30:21.440 --> 00:30:26.839 principal officers of the executive departments, which means that the 386 00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:30.039 head cabinet officials, the secretaries of you know, State Defense, 387 00:30:30.079 --> 00:30:35.559 the Attorney General, et cetera, transmit to the President pro 388 00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:37.599 Tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House 389 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.839 of Representatives. They're written declaration that the president is unable 390 00:30:40.880 --> 00:30:42.680 to discharge the powers and duties of his office. The 391 00:30:42.720 --> 00:30:45.839 vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of 392 00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:47.240 the office's acting president. 393 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.119 And that's the This is. 394 00:30:53.759 --> 00:30:57.599 Going to be the massive state you know, Biden's incapacity 395 00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:02.839 in doddering, old manness will be part of his legacy 396 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.839 for the rest of history. 397 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:05.240 I think. 398 00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:07.720 I think it has to be part of Kamala Harris's 399 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:17.160 legacy as vice president that she let this continue. She 400 00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:22.480 and the other members of the president's cabinet if they 401 00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:27.559
