I do 22 00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.400 have a lot of stuff to talk about today, and 23 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.480 oh geez, I messed up my computer. Hang on one 24 00:01:13.599 --> 00:01:16.480 second messed up my layout.

On the blog Israel is fighting to save Western 40 00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:04.120 civilis before Western civilization can stop it. Everyone needs to 41 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.480 read this to know what really happened. Michelle Zelner is 42 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.599 on to talk strength training.

When Kamala's teleprompter went out. Tom Cotton 53 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.080 is a verbal ninja. Those are the headlines on the 54 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.080 blog at mandy'sblog dot com. And as you can see, 55 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.599 you've got a lot of political stuff today. But today 56 00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:04.639 is October seventh, and that means that today is the 57 00:03:04.759 --> 00:03:09.800 day that a year ago Hamas began what I believe 58 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:14.479 will be the last war with Israel, and today marks 59 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:18.639 the anniversary. One hundred and one hostages are still unaccounted for. 60 00:03:19.080 --> 00:03:21.120 I would love to believe that they are all alive, 61 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:23.800 but I don't. I don't know how many of them 62 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:27.199 are alive, and I don't want Israel to stop trying 63 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:30.240 to get them back. But I think Hamas is full 64 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.719 of evil. Bastards, and the last year in captivity has 65 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:39.439 probably been horrific for these people in captivity, if they 66 00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:42.960 are indeed still alive now. Over the weekend, I was 67 00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.360 connected with someone who lives in Israel through a friend 68 00:03:46.360 --> 00:03:52.080 of mine, and this person is currently in the military. 69 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.879 They were in the military when October seventh happened, and 70 00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:59.080 I got to speak with them with the agreement that 71 00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:02.639 I would not share any identifying information about them at 72 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:07.520 all with you, but I wanted to talk to someone 73 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.879 who is in the fight to find out what's different 74 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.879 this time than all of the other times. And first 75 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:17.319 of all, it was a very very illuminating phone call, 76 00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.639 a very illuminated phone call, not surprising in any way, 77 00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:24.040 shape or form. But I am more convinced than ever 78 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:28.720 that Israel will not stop until there is some kind 79 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:33.199 of regime change in Iran because they know that everyone 80 00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.079 they're fighting is just doing it because Iran is supplying 81 00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:40.480 them with weapons and rockets and inspiring them and paying 82 00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.600 them to go and attack Israel. They know that Hamas 83 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:49.959 and Hezbola and the Huthis are nothing without Iran. And 84 00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:52.360 I asked this person, I said, Okay, you've been through 85 00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.720 multiple this individual is about let me do the math 86 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:04.000 here in my head, probably roughly forty roughly, and they've 87 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.319 been in the IDF since they were eighteen years old. 88 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.959 They are a lifer, they are an officer, they are 89 00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:16.959 a career soldier. And this person in that time has 90 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:24.079 been in six different wars of differing lengths, right. I mean, 91 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.040 there was the first Lebanon War where Lebanon fired a 92 00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:29.920 bunch of rockets and din a hostile attack but not 93 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:33.480 nearly as effectively, and Israel crushed it. And the United 94 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:36.040 Nations came in and said, we're going to fix this 95 00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:38.759 by creating and I didn't know about this, by the way, 96 00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.920 I was not hip to this particular conversation with the 97 00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:44.800 UN until this weekend. So the United Nations came in, 98 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.399 This was in two thousand and six, and they said, 99 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:50.920 we are going to clear out a zone in Lebanon 100 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.720 that gives enough buffer between the Lebanese people and the 101 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.759 Israeli border that Israel will never have to worried about 102 00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.879 an attack like this again except you and didn't follow 103 00:06:01.920 --> 00:06:04.800 through with any of it. And now Lebanon has built 104 00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:07.199 right up to the border with Israel, and Israel is 105 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:12.120 in the process now of destroying everything within fifteen to 106 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:14.920 twenty kilometers of the Israeli border with the sole purpose, 107 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:19.560 not of killing Lebanese people, not even of killing Hesbela. 108 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.360 Because here's the thing. The Israelis don't care about Hesbela 109 00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.120 if it exists. They don't care if Islamis want to 110 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.959 create organizations that believe anyone who is not Muslim should 111 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.800 be killed or die right, or convert, be forced to convert. 112 00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:39.199 They don't care that those groups exist. The only thing 113 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.759 they care about is that they keep attacking Israel. So 114 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:48.079 it's not about destroying Hamas or destroying Hesbelah or destroying 115 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:53.439 the Houthis. It is about destroying their ability to attack Israel. 116 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.439 And I'm talking to this person and they have children, 117 00:06:57.560 --> 00:07:00.879 they have multiple children. They have some that are in 118 00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.319 their teens, they have some that are very very little. 119 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:08.160 And this person said, look, when I got into the IDF, 120 00:07:08.319 --> 00:07:10.240 when I was eighteen years old and I signed up, 121 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.160 and here I am, we would have these wars, right, 122 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.959 We called them wars. We called them wars because we 123 00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:17.800 were attacked and we were forced to use a lot 124 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:20.759 of force against the people attacking us, whether it was Syria, 125 00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.839 whether it was Lebanon, whether it was Hamas, those were 126 00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:27.839 our wars, but they were wars of containment, right they 127 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:30.879 were just Israel saying we're not going to let you 128 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.360 attack us anymore, and if you attack us, there will 129 00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:37.839 be a price to pay. But up until this point, 130 00:07:37.920 --> 00:07:41.600 up until this attack, they had always sort of managed 131 00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:45.279 to wrangle Hezbola back into Lebanon or or tamp down 132 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:48.759 Hamas enough to where Israelis could go about their day 133 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:53.560 and Israelis could live knowing knowing that at any minute 134 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.240 they could be attacked, but it would have just been 135 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:58.279 another five or six days, and then Israel would take 136 00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.439 care and they would push them back. And he said, 137 00:08:00.439 --> 00:08:04.199 now it's not good enough. And the people that he 138 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.279 is fighting with now, they are fighting so their children 139 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:11.800 don't have to fight, because they have been fighting for 140 00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:15.040 twenty something years and they don't want their children to 141 00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.680 have to have those same fights. And the only way 142 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.680 to do that is by forcing or a regime change 143 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.480 in Iran. And by the way, the person that I 144 00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:27.240 was talking to never said those words, never once said 145 00:08:27.279 --> 00:08:30.360 we have to have regime change in Iran. But during 146 00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:34.960 the course of the conversation, the notion that Iran can 147 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.440 continue to exist as it does now, and Israel will 148 00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.720 have any sense of safety or security. Those two things 149 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:47.639 cannot exist at the same time. And so Iran they're 150 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.840 ready to go. And when I asked this person, I said, well, 151 00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.039 are you going to be sent into Lebanon? He said, 152 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:56.320 not so far, but I sure hope. So he said, look, 153 00:08:56.360 --> 00:08:58.399 I don't want to be in this, but I want 154 00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.360 to end it. Every member of the service is tired 155 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:05.720 of these wars of containment, of these wars of We're 156 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:07.879 going to push you back and you're going to be intimidated, 157 00:09:08.159 --> 00:09:10.320 and then you're going to stop for a little while 158 00:09:10.399 --> 00:09:12.840 until Iran re arms you and gives you more rockets 159 00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.879 and you build more tunnels, and then we're going to 160 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:17.480 do all this again, over and over and over again. Infinity, 161 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:20.440 That is not the attitude of the people in Israel anymore. 162 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.360 They're done. He actually told me a really funny story 163 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:29.039 that was very illuminating when it came to understanding the 164 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:33.080 Israeli mindset versus the American mindset. Like we're all horrified 165 00:09:33.159 --> 00:09:35.799 right now about all the anti Semitism that has risen up. 166 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:40.799 There were people in Cherry Creek yesterday, people in Cherry 167 00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:43.600 Creek that were walking around blocking traffic in Cherry Creek, 168 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.440 which I'm sure convinced everyone in Cherry Creek to come 169 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.720 to their position when they were making traffic worse on 170 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:53.840 shopping Sunday. But he said there was a person of 171 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:56.559 a relative of theirs from the United States that had 172 00:09:56.559 --> 00:09:59.279 come to visit, and they walked into a shop in 173 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:04.759 Israel and the shop owner, a Jew, was playing Kanye West. 174 00:10:05.200 --> 00:10:07.960 And this visitor from America, said, how can you play 175 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:12.159 Kanye West? He's so anti Semitic And the shop owner said, 176 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.799 it's a bumping song. Like, what do you want me 177 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:18.799 to do? He said, if we stopped playing the music 178 00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.720 and enjoying the artwork of everybody who hated Jews, there 179 00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.200 would be no music. Their view of anti Semitism in 180 00:10:27.320 --> 00:10:30.279 Israel is not, oh my god, look at this horror. 181 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:30.759 It is. 182 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.480 Of course, people hate the Jews. Of course, people want 183 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.080 us to die. Of course they wish us death. Of 184 00:10:36.120 --> 00:10:40.360 course they do. What else is new? It doesn't even 185 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:45.360 phase them. They're so used to it. They live under 186 00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:50.000 a cloud every single day of someone coming to kill them, 187 00:10:50.879 --> 00:10:53.519 and they're kind of done with it right now. And 188 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:55.639 I asked him I said, well, what about the citizens 189 00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:57.799 of Israel. He said, let me tell you something. In 190 00:10:57.799 --> 00:11:00.480 the last few days, they've had street attacks in Israel. 191 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:02.960 And I talked about this a little bit last week, 192 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.879 where people are like getting off of a bus and 193 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:10.480 opening fire, or a young Israeli female soldier was stabbed 194 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:14.080 to death on the street. The first a street attack, 195 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.000 many people were killed. The second and third street attacks, 196 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.879 as soon as the attacker starts to attack, multiple people 197 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.960 jump in and kill the attacker. So they're literally doing 198 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.759 hand to hand combat on the streets in Israel. And 199 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.879 can you imagine if we were here in the United 200 00:11:30.919 --> 00:11:35.320 States and street attacks started happening in Denver or even worse, 201 00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:40.879 in downtown Lyttleton in Old Town Arvada. How about downtown 202 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.039 Castle Rock where people are just randomly being attacked on 203 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.039 the streets. It would be the biggest story in the world. 204 00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:51.960 And yet in Israel, you know what they do. They're like, well, 205 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:54.799 I gotta be packing, I can't walk around without protection. 206 00:11:55.039 --> 00:11:56.559 I gotta have my eyes on a swivel, and if 207 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:58.879 I see anybody attacking anybody else, I'm taking them out. 208 00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:05.639 It's amazing the mental fortitude that the people of Israel 209 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:08.960 are displaying right now on the anniversary of these attacks. 210 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:14.559 They're done, They're finished. They're so over Iran right now, 211 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:19.320 they're absolutely ready to take it to the mat. And 212 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.159 I said, you know, the anti Semitism thing came up 213 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.000 because I said, well, look, do you feel this way 214 00:12:25.080 --> 00:12:29.559 because you're not getting any security or you're not getting 215 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:33.039 a sense of security from the world, Like you're getting 216 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:35.879 this pushback from the world. And he started laughing when 217 00:12:35.879 --> 00:12:41.200 he talked about Macron from France holding back weapons. He's like, seriously, 218 00:12:41.840 --> 00:12:46.840 like Macron has ever ever fought in anything? They just 219 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:52.279 laugh at it. What they don't laugh at is American support, 220 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:56.399 because American support is what's giving them the rockets to 221 00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:00.559 arm the Iron Dome. The American support is what's giving 222 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.080 them the money to do the intelligence that they're doing. 223 00:13:04.759 --> 00:13:06.759 That led to the pager thing. By the way, he 224 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.559 would not talk about the pager thing. It's like, do 225 00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:11.279 you know anything about the pager thing? Because I find 226 00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:12.960 that fascinating. He's like, I don't know anything about the 227 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:15.200 pager thing. And I kind of felt like he did 228 00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:17.039 know something about the Pajer thing, but he didn't tell 229 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.679 me anything about the pager thing, so it was. It 230 00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.879 was a very interesting conversation. And today on the blog 231 00:13:24.960 --> 00:13:27.639 I have, by the way, on the anniversary, today Hamas 232 00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:32.320 shot rockets into Tel Aviv. Hamas is on its last legs. 233 00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:36.120 They have almost nothing left. So today they shot rockets 234 00:13:36.159 --> 00:13:40.080 into Tel Aviv, and Israel immediately put planes in the 235 00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.759 sky and bomb the ever living crap out of where 236 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:46.120 the rockets came from. It's like, oh, oh, I'm sorry, 237 00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:48.600 did we miss that one? Did we miss you? We'll 238 00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:51.799 be back in a second. They just don't care. They 239 00:13:51.799 --> 00:13:54.840 don't care what the world thinks. They don't care about 240 00:13:54.840 --> 00:13:59.080 the world's opinion, they don't care about these piss ant 241 00:13:59.120 --> 00:14:03.360 students on college campuses. They don't care about any of it. 242 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:07.919 They are fighting this to win it. And the headline 243 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.600 of the blog on one of the stories is this 244 00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.679 quote which appeared on social media. Israel is fighting to 245 00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:20.080 save Western civilization before Western civilization can stop it, because 246 00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.440 the reality of what's happening in Israel right now is 247 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:28.840 that Israel is the last stop before the garbage and 248 00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.279 the Islamic supremacy crap leaks out of the Middle East 249 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:36.080 and starts taking over the world. That is the endgame 250 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:39.600 of the Iranian mullus to create an Islamic caliphate throughout 251 00:14:39.600 --> 00:14:41.759 the Middle East so they can then use the Middle 252 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:44.480 East to spread it to the world. That is what 253 00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.519 the Iranians want. And for Americans who don't understand that, 254 00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:51.519 I had a very respectful back and forth with an 255 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:55.039 emailer last week who said, what why are we funding Israel? 256 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:57.519 And I said, do you really think they just chant 257 00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:02.000 death to America alone or death to Israel alone? We 258 00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:07.720 are the same. We represent Western culture, We represent free will, 259 00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:14.200 which apparently these Islamis don't believe in. We represent forward 260 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.960 thinking in terms of rights for people who may want 261 00:15:18.000 --> 00:15:22.159 to live in a way that we disagree with. Our 262 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:28.639 tradition of religious freedom is completely unknown in the modern 263 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:32.840 day Middle East. Israel is the only place that really 264 00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.720 allows other faiths, and after the creation of Israel, most 265 00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:40.000 of the Middle Eastern nations shoved out every other faith 266 00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:43.799 that was not Islam. Who used to divide in Lebanon. Lebanon 267 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:47.519 used to be over fifty percent Christian over fifty percent 268 00:15:48.639 --> 00:15:52.240 And what are they now? They're a hellhole where the 269 00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:55.320 entire south of the country is being run by Hesblo, which, 270 00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.159 by the way, the people in the north of Lebanon. 271 00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:01.960 They really hate Hesbla. I really hate Hesbela. So the 272 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.279 other portion of the Lebanon thing that I asked about 273 00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:12.000 was specific, to be clear, from this man's perspective as 274 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:13.919 a member of the IDEA for a very long time. 275 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:19.879 He said, Israel has no desire to in any way, 276 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.960 shape or form capture any of Lebanon. They don't want 277 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:28.559 any of it except a buffer zone at the southern 278 00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.639 port of Lebanon where they can rest assured that they're 279 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.639 not going to have people sneaking across the border. They're 280 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:35.879 not gonna have people firing rockets to them. They're not 281 00:16:35.919 --> 00:16:38.679 gonna have all of the stupidity that they have dealt 282 00:16:38.679 --> 00:16:41.960 with from Lebanon for the last year since October seventh. 283 00:16:41.960 --> 00:16:46.519 They started firing rockets October seventh in support of AMAS. 284 00:16:47.279 --> 00:16:50.080 So they just want to They just want to be 285 00:16:50.240 --> 00:16:53.840 left alone. But unfortunately, in order to be left alone, 286 00:16:54.960 --> 00:16:56.399 I think they're going to have to take out a 287 00:16:56.480 --> 00:17:00.519 Ron and I think it's going to happen very something 288 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:03.559 is going to happen in the next two days, based 289 00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.640 on the conversation that I had with him yesterday, And 290 00:17:05.720 --> 00:17:07.640 I want to say a huge thank you to all 291 00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:11.039 of you keep asking about my nephew. I only talk 292 00:17:11.079 --> 00:17:15.519 to him via text message maybe once a month because 293 00:17:15.720 --> 00:17:21.240 he's doing things and fighting battles and everything else. And 294 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.519 I really appreciate you guys asking about him and keeping 295 00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.000 him and his family and your prayers. I still work 296 00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:28.880 on him every single time I talk to him. I'm like, 297 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:32.279 you know, your wife and two kids could come here. 298 00:17:33.400 --> 00:17:36.720 But the Israeli people, they're not ready to give up 299 00:17:36.759 --> 00:17:39.319 on their land. They're not ready to give up on 300 00:17:39.359 --> 00:17:43.480 their homeland, on the holiest land that they have, and 301 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.480 they're just gonna fight, and they're gonna take the fight 302 00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.319 wherever it needs to go. And I think that this 303 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:54.880 may turn out to be the biggest strategic error by 304 00:17:55.160 --> 00:18:01.680 any minor terrorist organization. And I'm sure that Hamas thought 305 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:03.680 Iran was absolutely going to have their backs. Well we 306 00:18:03.720 --> 00:18:05.960 see what's happened to Moss. Do you think that they've 307 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.000 had their backs? Because no, no, indeedy they have not. 308 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:14.079 And I love it, absolutely love it. Mandy. What do 309 00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.839 you think of the coach of the New York Jets 310 00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:19.039 wearing a Lebanese flag on his sleeve during their game 311 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:21.680 in London? On Sunday. I did not know about that. 312 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.279 I don't know if he has Lebanese family. I have 313 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.279 friends who have Lebanese family in Lebanon. They all hate Hesbelah, 314 00:18:30.319 --> 00:18:33.559 but they're worried about having their lives destroyed because of Hesbela. 315 00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:40.079 So there you go, There you go, Mandy. I get 316 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:41.920 this question all the time. How do you know the 317 00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.960 Islamis aren't in the right? Are they serious when they 318 00:18:45.000 --> 00:18:48.319 ask it? When we get back, I've got a completely 319 00:18:48.400 --> 00:18:51.000 different guest coming up, I believe. Wait a minute, let 320 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.920 me check my calendar. No, I don't. I'll tell you 321 00:18:54.039 --> 00:18:59.200 why the Islamis are wrong and why Western culture is 322 00:18:59.240 --> 00:19:05.279 inherently superior. I'm going there when we get back. That said, 323 00:19:05.759 --> 00:19:07.759 the question I get all the time is how do 324 00:19:07.880 --> 00:19:11.119 you know the Islamis aren't in the right and they 325 00:19:11.119 --> 00:19:12.880 are serious when they ask it? Now, I want to 326 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:15.960 start off this conversation by saying that there are a 327 00:19:16.000 --> 00:19:18.400 lot of Muslims who have found a way to follow 328 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:22.119 their faith and still be compatible with the United States 329 00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:25.440 of America and Western culture. They can separate their faith 330 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:28.279 from our system of government, from our system of economy, 331 00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:34.119 but Islamist can't Islamis want an Islamic caliphate. They want 332 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.200 anyone who is not Islamic to either have to pay 333 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:40.160 a tax or to submit to convert or be killed. 334 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.079 I mean, that's just the Islamist way of thinking. But 335 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:44.759 this is the same group of people. And I'll use 336 00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:48.240 the Taliban as a perfect example of Islamis. Remember when 337 00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:52.400 our president decided to precipitously pull everything and everyone out 338 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:56.160 of Afghanistan. The Taliban took over and took all the 339 00:19:56.200 --> 00:19:59.319 military hardware that we left there while promising to be 340 00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:04.559 a softer, gentler side of Islam. Now, I'm just gonna 341 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:09.640 say this. Our culture allows women to do pretty much 342 00:20:09.799 --> 00:20:13.720 everything that a man can do, other than walk into 343 00:20:13.720 --> 00:20:16.559 a men's room, which I'm sure they could now because 344 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:18.599 if they just told people they were identifying as a man. 345 00:20:18.599 --> 00:20:20.839 Although I don't know why you'd want to walk into 346 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:22.440 a men's room when you could walk into a lady's 347 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.279 room because it's so much nicer and cleaner. Guys, it is. 348 00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:31.079 It's true, it really is. But Islamus believed that women, 349 00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:35.440 because men are unable to control themselves, need to cover 350 00:20:35.519 --> 00:20:41.200 themselves head to toe with essentially a burlap sack. So 351 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.880 men would not be tempted by women as they walked 352 00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.640 by on the streets if God forbid, they had on 353 00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:51.640 a pair of pants or just a long skirt, or 354 00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.720 their hair was showing, or their face was showing. The 355 00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:58.160 Taliban just passed rules that says women cannot speak in 356 00:20:58.279 --> 00:21:02.559 public because their voices could be like the voice of 357 00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.200 a siren and could lead men astray. So already the 358 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:08.759 Islamists have admitted that in their version of the world, 359 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.920 men are completely incapable of taking care of their own 360 00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:19.119 inappropriate urges. They are animals who can't control any aspect 361 00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:24.400 of how they react to women wherever they are. Certain 362 00:21:24.519 --> 00:21:30.400 Islamist cultures ban music, they ban joy, they ban laughter. 363 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:35.079 There is no concept of free will. You must submit 364 00:21:35.960 --> 00:21:38.319 or you know, be killed. You don't get to choose. 365 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:41.680 That enough right there, That alone, to me says Western 366 00:21:41.759 --> 00:21:46.839 culture is superior to what the Islamists want. I want 367 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.279 everyone to be able to go to school, including women. 368 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.640 I want women to be able to drive. I want 369 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:54.200 women to be able to what is the word I'm 370 00:21:54.200 --> 00:21:58.079 looking for, live a normal life. And for those reasons alone, 371 00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:01.839 the Islamists are wrong. Now, if you look at what 372 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:05.400 happened on October seventh, those we Rislamis who had dehumanized 373 00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:08.400 Jews so much. And I have I have a story 374 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:10.319 on the blog today and I put a warning on it. 375 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:15.359 I'm just letting you know. It is really, really hard 376 00:22:15.480 --> 00:22:21.079 to read. It is very very hard to read. And 377 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:25.279 it is memories of survivors, not the people who were 378 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.480 attacked necessarily, but the people who were involved in October 379 00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:33.680 seventh reaction and the aftermath and the young women that 380 00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:36.119 they were trying to identify. The young women that were 381 00:22:36.119 --> 00:22:40.599 attacked at the Nova Music Festival were so viciously raped 382 00:22:40.680 --> 00:22:42.920 and then they would be shot through the heart to 383 00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:46.200 kill them, but then they would be shot multiple times 384 00:22:46.240 --> 00:22:49.039 in the face to make sure that they were disfigured, 385 00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.599 so it made it difficult for them to be identified 386 00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:55.960 by their parents. There was a young woman that came 387 00:22:55.960 --> 00:22:58.799 in who still had a knife sticking out of her mouth. 388 00:23:00.160 --> 00:23:02.640 There were people that had been beheaded, there were people 389 00:23:02.720 --> 00:23:06.480 that were missing body parts, there were people that had 390 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:11.480 obviously been brutally brutally raped. And if that's part of 391 00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.200 being an Islamist, our culture is better because at least 392 00:23:15.200 --> 00:23:18.759 we have the decency to condemn that, whereas in their culture. 393 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:22.960 They live streamed it so everyone could watch what they 394 00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:26.559 were doing. Even the Germans had the decency to be 395 00:23:26.720 --> 00:23:32.480 ashamed of what was happening at their concentration camps. Hamas 396 00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:37.160 isn't ashamed. They're proud of it. They replay that video 397 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.039 and people stand in the streets and cheer, And in 398 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:45.160 that respect, Western civilization is superior. As a matter of fact, 399 00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.920 I don't know of any way that Islamist culture is 400 00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:53.039 better than Western culture. And again, Islamists are the wack 401 00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.519
