- 0:45Speaker 2: a terrible night for Republicans. It was a terrible night
- 0:49Speaker 2: for conservatives, and it was a terrible night for America.
- 0:54Speaker 2: The damage in New York City, the damage in Virginia,
- 0:58Speaker 2: the damage in New Jersey, the damage in California has
- 1:03Speaker 2: been enormous. We're going to break down this really disappointing
- 1:07Speaker 2: and dangerous electoral result that happened tonight. We're also going
- 1:12Speaker 2: to talk about the fact that Ben is on the
- 1:14Speaker 2: ground in Israel. What is he seeing, who is he
- 1:16Speaker 2: meeting with? What is the dynamic. Israel has just won
- 1:21Speaker 2: a war. They have just defeated Iran in a twelve
- 1:24Speaker 2: day war. They are still battling Hamas. There's an historic
- 1:28Speaker 2: peace steal that President Trump has negotiated, but Hamas is
- 1:32Speaker 2: resisting and violating the peace steal. We're going to talk
- 1:35Speaker 2: about what Ben seeing on the ground, all of that

- 3:29Speaker 1: are going to get to watch this on YouTube, as
- 3:31Speaker 1: we're also putting this up on YouTube this episode, I
- 3:35Speaker 1: am in Israel. This is my first time. So I've
- 3:38Speaker 1: had five trips planned to come to Israel. The first
- 3:42Speaker 1: four got canceled, one from COVID, the other three because
- 3:45Speaker 1: of wars that'd broken out. This dates back all the
- 3:47Speaker 1: way to two thousand and four, thousand and five and
- 3:49Speaker 1: the first time I'm supposed to go to Israel, and
- 3:51Speaker 1: I cannot tell you you've been here. Just being able
- 3:54Speaker 1: to do simple things like going to the Whaling Wall,
- 3:57Speaker 1: staying here in Jerusalem have been a spiritual journey that
- 4:02Speaker 1: I would tell everyone listening to verdict right now it
- 4:05Speaker 1: is safe to come to Israel right now. That is
- 4:08Speaker 1: the one thing that's very clear from the ceasefire. There
- 4:10Speaker 1: are lots of people coming back to see this incredible country.
- 4:14Speaker 1: But if you are a person of faith and you've
- 4:17Speaker 1: experienced this, coming to Israel connects so many dots. I
- 4:21Speaker 1: was at the Sea of Galilee yesterday and getting to
- 4:24Speaker 1: witness as historians and religious leaders were telling the stories
- 4:28Speaker 1: of the Bible, where it was the Beatitudes, where there
- 4:30Speaker 1: was walking on water, whether it was the fish that
- 4:33Speaker 1: continued to feed, seeing the miracles of Jesus before your
- 4:38Speaker 1: very eyes, overlooking this incredible country, while at the same time,
- 4:43Speaker 1: being moments away from where this war was taking place
- 4:47Speaker 1: and people are being killed was a somber but special moment.
- 4:51Speaker 2: So, Ben, have you been to Israel before? Is this
- 4:53Speaker 2: first trip?
- 4:54Speaker 1: This is my pilgrimage, very first time ever?
- 4:57Speaker 2: Well, it is amazing. I've been a number of time
- 5:00Speaker 2: to Israel, and it is a breathtaking place. It is
- 5:04Speaker 2: a place all of history converges on. It is the
- 5:09Speaker 2: birthplace of Christianity, is the birthplace of Judaism in Israel
- 5:14Speaker 2: and Jerusalem. You walk down roads the city of David,
- 5:18Speaker 2: which is this underground archaeological excavation under Jerusalem. You walk
- 5:24Speaker 2: down the road from from the pool of Shiloh to
- 5:27Speaker 2: the old Temple where Jesus most certainly walked, and you
- 5:33Speaker 2: walk along it and there are platforms that a street
- 5:38Speaker 2: preacher and a itinerant preacher would stand and preach on,
- 5:41Speaker 2: and you stand. I've stood on those platforms, and it
- 5:44Speaker 2: takes your breath away that Jesus Christ almost certainly stood
- 5:49Speaker 2: on this particular piece of stone addressing the crowd of
- 5:56Speaker 2: the Israelites who were there in Jerusalem. The Sea of
- 6:00Speaker 2: Alle You look at you imagine Jesus walking up to Peter,
- 6:05Speaker 2: walking up to fishermen and saying, follow me and let
- 6:08Speaker 2: me make you fishers of men and not just fishermen.
- 6:12Speaker 2: And it is it's a beautiful place. It is a
- 6:14Speaker 2: profound place. So tell me when did you arrive and
- 6:18Speaker 2: what have you done on the ground at Israel.
- 6:20Speaker 1: So arrived on Monday after delayed flight missed missed a
- 6:24Speaker 1: flight because of actually the shutdown is what we're told
- 6:27Speaker 1: with And then we had a time out with with
- 6:29Speaker 1: with the with the air traffic controllers and also the
- 6:32Speaker 1: crew on the plane. So we sat on the tarmac
- 6:34Speaker 1: for about five hours in Houston and then they said
- 6:37Speaker 1: you got to got the plane. We've lost our crew
- 6:38Speaker 1: because of the rules. And this is a TSA And
- 6:41Speaker 1: it was at the very beginning of kind of the
- 6:43Speaker 1: break are part of a broader.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Group or like what what's the reason for going to Israel?
- 6:48Speaker 1: Yeah, so I was asked to come over from the
- 6:50Speaker 1: Israeli government and also came with the CEO of i
- 6:53Speaker 1: f c J, the International Fellowship of Christ Jews. Uh,
- 6:57Speaker 1: there is a a Christian leadership conference happening here as
- 7:01Speaker 1: well at the same time. Uh. That is uh, it
- 7:04Speaker 1: is one that's been postponed because of the war, and
- 7:07Speaker 1: so I was asked to speak at that. UH. This
- 7:09Speaker 1: is a conference where BB is speaking, where you have
- 7:12Speaker 1: the Mayor of Jerusalem is speaking, you have the US
- 7:15Speaker 1: Ambassador Mike Huckabee as well, and it is bringing Christians
- 7:19Speaker 1: together back to the to the Holy Land. But then
- 7:22Speaker 1: what also has happens. They've set up these incredible moments
- 7:25Speaker 1: and tours where I've been able to meet with with
- 7:27Speaker 1: with some of the victims of the war UH and
- 7:30Speaker 1: go and see UH where the war is taking placed.
- 7:33Speaker 1: So yesterday we actually went to the border UH with
- 7:36Speaker 1: Syria and with Lebanon and went literally to where we
- 7:39Speaker 1: could see Hesblah looking at us.
- 7:44Speaker 2: And was met with the parents of the kids who
- 7:46Speaker 2: were killed on the soccer field. Tell us about that.
- 7:49Speaker 1: Yeah, So last night I have and I will try
- 7:52Speaker 1: not to get emotional, but it's hard not to. I
- 7:55Speaker 1: was asked to come and to meet with the families,
- 7:58Speaker 1: some of the families whose children twelve children that were
- 8:01Speaker 1: killed while playing soccer on a soccer field. It made
- 8:03Speaker 1: international news. We covered it on this show, and they
- 8:06Speaker 1: asked me if I would meet with the families and
- 8:09Speaker 1: hear the family stories and I was there and the
- 8:13Speaker 1: parents were talking of this was one of the little
- 8:16Speaker 1: girls you can see who died and her mother was
- 8:18Speaker 1: the first one to speak. And the age of the
- 8:22Speaker 1: kids want to tell the story. They were all different ages.
- 8:25Speaker 1: They were very young to a seventeen year old if
- 8:28Speaker 1: I remember correctly. Some of it was through translation, but
- 8:31Speaker 1: you can kind of see the different ages here. Some
- 8:34Speaker 1: of them are obviously most were younger, but you can
- 8:37Speaker 1: see there someone's a little bit older and junior high.
- 8:39Speaker 1: You can see that's one of the oldest kids there,
- 8:42Speaker 1: and that was you know, it's it's incredible. But we
- 8:45Speaker 1: sat there and we were hearing their stories, these kids,
- 8:47Speaker 1: and at the very end, they said they'd like to
- 8:49Speaker 1: present me with things. I didn't know they were going
- 8:51Speaker 1: to do this, and I put the picture of on
- 8:54Speaker 1: social media, but the mother of this young girl said
- 8:59Speaker 1: that they wanted to give me something. And I didn't
- 9:01Speaker 1: see the ball before they brought it out, but these
- 9:03Speaker 1: pictures on this ball, so people understand their stickers. They're handmade.
- 9:08Speaker 1: And they said they wanted to say thank you for
- 9:10Speaker 1: standing up for their kids and for telling their story
- 9:13Speaker 1: to the world, because they they want people to understand
- 9:16Speaker 1: what it's like to live in Israel and what was
- 9:19Speaker 1: taken from them from by the way market.
- 9:22Speaker 2: These were children that were doing nothing. They were they
- 9:24Speaker 2: were playing on a soccer field. There were being kids
- 9:27Speaker 2: and suddenly Hesbala rocket came over and killed them all.
- 9:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was a the way that they described
- 9:33Speaker 1: it was they didn't care who they killed. There was
- 9:37Speaker 1: there was a lot of media spend that well, this
- 9:40Speaker 1: this soccer field maybe wasn't directly target Hesbla doesn't care
- 9:43Speaker 1: who they killed. They just want to kill Jews.
- 9:46Speaker 2: One of the other and one of the points ben
- 9:48Speaker 2: that's important with both Hesbela and Hamas most of the
- 9:53Speaker 2: rockets they fire have no guidance systems, so they literally
- 9:57Speaker 2: just fire a rocket in the air towards is filled
- 10:01Speaker 2: with explosives, many times filled with anti personnel shrapnel, ball
- 10:06Speaker 2: bearings and nails and screws and things that would rip
- 10:09Speaker 2: human flesh apart, and they just fire them towards Israel
- 10:12Speaker 2: because they figure, you know what, they're Jews over there,
- 10:15Speaker 2: so let's just kill as many of them as we can,
- 10:18Speaker 2: and whether it kills little kids, normally, in the vast
- 10:21Speaker 2: majority of the times, military targets are not the targets.
- 10:25Speaker 2: It's just fire it towards Israel, and if we killed Jews,
- 10:28Speaker 2: we celebrate. And that, tragically is what happened at the
- 10:31Speaker 2: soccer field.
- 10:32Speaker 1: It's exactly what happened. And not far from where that
- 10:35Speaker 1: soccer field attack happened, we went to an orchard. What's
- 10:39Speaker 1: one thing that you learn so much from being here,
- 10:42Speaker 1: but there is a lot of farming that has done
- 10:45Speaker 1: in Israel. Israel does an amazing job with water and
- 10:48Speaker 1: turning saltwater into fresh water. It is what is kept
- 10:52Speaker 1: this country alive and not dependent on others, especially in
- 10:55Speaker 1: war when people would shut off water to Israel. It's
- 10:58Speaker 1: the desert and what they've done is unbelievable. We talked
- 11:01Speaker 1: about that, learned about that, but we went to a
- 11:04Speaker 1: basically a kibbutz. It's a neighborhood. And in that neighborhood,
- 11:06Speaker 1: you know what they you know what the they.
- 11:08Speaker 2: In northern Israel, southern Israel, where the where's the kobuts?
- 11:11Speaker 1: You went to the tip of Northern on the opposite
- 11:14Speaker 1: side of where the attack happened. The initial attack happened
- 11:17Speaker 1: in October.
- 11:17Speaker 2: This okay, so right by the Golan border.
- 11:19Speaker 1: With Lebedon and Hesbelah. So if you're looking at the map,
- 11:23Speaker 1: this would be in Syria hes Blah at the northern point.
- 11:26Speaker 1: And they started us there because they said they wanted
- 11:29Speaker 1: us to understand that the goal, by the way, for
- 11:31Speaker 1: folks from both sides, for folks.
- 11:34Speaker 2: At home to understand. So Israel is a very small nation.
- 11:38Speaker 2: It's about the size of the state of New Jersey. Yeah,
- 11:41Speaker 2: where October seventh happened was in the southern part of Israel.
- 11:45Speaker 2: It's right by the Gaza Strip. The Gaza Strip is
- 11:47Speaker 2: along the Mediterranean in the southern part, and Hamas, which
- 11:51Speaker 2: is the terrorist major terrorist organization in the Gaza Strip,
- 11:55Speaker 2: entered into southern Israel and murdered over twelve hundred Israelis,
- 12:01Speaker 2: raped women and little girls, took over two hundred Israelis hostage.
- 12:05Speaker 2: It was also one of the worst American terrorist attacks ever,
- 12:09Speaker 2: as we saw dozens of Americans murdered, dozens of Americans
- 12:13Speaker 2: taken hostage. Now northern Israel, which is up by Lebanon
- 12:17Speaker 2: and Syria, what you have up there is Hesbela, hesbel
- 12:20Speaker 2: As a different terrorist organization. Both Hesbela and Hamas their
- 12:25Speaker 2: patron is Iran and Iran funds over ninety percent of
- 12:29Speaker 2: Hamas's budget, Iran funds over ninety percent of Hesbel's budget.
- 12:34Speaker 2: When October seventh first erupted, Israel quite rightly declared we
- 12:39Speaker 2: are going to utterly destroy Hamas. There was an interesting
- 12:42Speaker 2: period that extended for weeks and then even a couple
- 12:45Speaker 2: of months where it wasn't clear if Hamas would be
- 12:49Speaker 2: or rather Hesbela would be drawn into this. Hamas was
- 12:51Speaker 2: the ressor on October seventh, and Hesbela had the opportunity
- 12:55Speaker 2: just to shut up and not engage, and then Hesbela
- 12:59Speaker 2: pretty quick decided nope, we want to raise our hand,
- 13:03Speaker 2: we want to engage, and began just just firing rockets,
- 13:07Speaker 2: a massive barrage of rockets in northern Israel, thousands and
- 13:12Speaker 2: the kids.
- 13:13Speaker 1: I was told yesterday by the US government about sixty
- 13:16Speaker 1: percent of all the rockets on hand that Hesbla had
- 13:19Speaker 1: in their arsenal were shot during this war.
- 13:22Speaker 2: Repeat that. That's a powerful.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Statement, sixty percent. And as we had our briefing from
- 13:27Speaker 1: the Israeli government, we actually went to this neighborhood, this kibbutz,
- 13:31Speaker 1: and in this neighborhood their sin for being targeted by
- 13:36Speaker 1: Hesbla was that they that they farm pink Lady apples
- 13:39Speaker 1: that we eat in the United States of America.
- 13:41Speaker 2: And by the way, much of northern Israel was evacuated
- 13:45Speaker 2: because the rocket attacks were so intense that the Israelis
- 13:48Speaker 2: couldn't live there anymore, because you couldn't go into your
- 13:51Speaker 2: own home without risk of rock blowing it up.
- 13:54Speaker 1: And so the.
- 13:55Speaker 2: Amazing thing is Hesbela literally volunteered and said, hey, we
- 13:59Speaker 2: want to be part of this, and then the Israelis
- 14:02Speaker 2: carried out the Pager attack, which remains one of the
- 14:08Speaker 2: most extraordinary military and intelligence operations I think the world
- 14:12Speaker 2: has ever seen. Where I mean, I've joked, but this
- 14:15Speaker 2: is not a joke. If you wrote the Pager Attack
- 14:20Speaker 2: as a script to a movie, nobody in Hollywood would
- 14:24Speaker 2: buy it. If you wrote it as a jacent Bourne movie,
- 14:26Speaker 2: they say, this is ridiculous. You're telling me. Israel creates
- 14:30Speaker 2: a shell company in Hong Kong, builds pass years in advance,
- 14:37Speaker 2: makes them heavy duty, kind of serious, hardcore pagers and
- 14:42Speaker 2: in beds where the battery would be a tiny little explosive.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Then gets this shell company in Hong Kong to sell
- 14:49Speaker 2: the pagers to Hesbela, Like, how the hell do you
- 14:52Speaker 2: do that? I don't know how you sell pagers to Hesbela,
- 14:54Speaker 2: but the Masad does, Israel does sells them to Hesbela.
- 14:59Speaker 2: And then this remains the single most targeted military and
- 15:03Speaker 2: intelligence attack I think in history, because it was Hesbela
- 15:07Speaker 2: leadership that decided, Okay, who is it that gets these pagers?
- 15:13Speaker 2: I'm going to give it to every crazy ass terrorist
- 15:17Speaker 2: we have in lemanon the people that I want to
- 15:20Speaker 2: be able to page and say, hey, would you go
- 15:22Speaker 2: blow up a bus, would you go blow up at
- 15:24Speaker 2: a mall? Would you go murder children? Take this pager?
- 15:28Speaker 2: And then Israel in a simultaneous moment, detonated all the
- 15:32Speaker 2: pagers and took out every person that was injured, every
- 15:37Speaker 2: person that was killed, with very minor exceptions of someone
- 15:41Speaker 2: who was really close to a terrorist. They were personally
- 15:46Speaker 2: selected by the leaders of Hesbela. Hesbela decided which terrorists died.
- 15:51Speaker 2: And by the way, within a day or two, there
- 15:54Speaker 2: was a second operation where Hesbela was using walkie talkies.
- 15:58Speaker 1: Those blow up and filtrated. Yeah, they blow those up
- 16:02Speaker 1: as well.
- 16:02Speaker 2: Yeah. By the end of it, I think every Hesbela terrorists,
- 16:05Speaker 2: every Hamas terrorists, every Iran I r GC terrorists, like
- 16:09Speaker 2: every time a phone rang, they jumped. It was extraordinary
- 16:14Speaker 2: and it was a response to so what Hesbela literally
- 16:18Speaker 2: volunteered and said, we want to be decimated as bad
- 16:21Speaker 2: as as Hamas, and Israel said, well, happy to oblige.
- 16:26Speaker 1: You go back to this neighborhood. And as we went
- 16:28Speaker 1: into this neighborhood, which the people have a lot of
- 16:31Speaker 1: them have still not returned. Some of the farmers are
- 16:34Speaker 1: coming there to farm. But Hesbelon knew the houses that
- 16:38Speaker 1: they were blowing up in this neighborhood were farmers. They
- 16:42Speaker 1: knew that they were families. And what they did would
- 16:46Speaker 1: to justify their attacks early on was when the people
- 16:48Speaker 1: had fled, the Israeli military would take back in to
- 16:54Speaker 1: the husband of the home to go get some of
- 16:56Speaker 1: their belongings before they would flee again. And they justify
- 17:00Speaker 1: if the military walking in the house is the reason
- 17:02Speaker 1: to blow the house up. And so I met with
- 17:04Speaker 1: a farmer who had three children the exact same age
- 17:07Speaker 1: as my kids. Wow, and he was showing us his
- 17:11Speaker 1: neighborhood and he was talking about how I had to
- 17:14Speaker 1: come back to tend the fields because this is my home.
- 17:16Speaker 1: And I was literally under rocket barrage and would come
- 17:19Speaker 1: to work knowing that Hezbollah was targeting the houses. And
- 17:23Speaker 1: so finally after a few days that the homeowners said
- 17:27Speaker 1: to the military, don't go back into my house, because
- 17:29Speaker 1: as soon as you go in there, they blow up
- 17:31Speaker 1: my home and everything is destroyed. We went into a home.
- 17:35Speaker 1: The books of the children were still there, the stove
- 17:38Speaker 1: was still there the way it was set. That morning,
- 17:41Speaker 1: the one of the homeowners offered me a piece of
- 17:44Speaker 1: a broken pot of their home and a burner of
- 17:47Speaker 1: the stove and said take it back, and a piece
- 17:51Speaker 1: of their tile in their children's bathroom. I'll put it
- 17:54Speaker 1: on my desk for the rest of my life. But
- 17:56Speaker 1: to hear them talk about the brute of Hesbla, knowing
- 18:01Speaker 1: that you're blowing up a farmer's home who has never
- 18:05Speaker 1: bothered you in your entire life for sport. It was
- 18:08Speaker 1: just for sport at that point, it was even killing
- 18:10Speaker 1: a person pure They knew that they were, yeah, just
- 18:15Speaker 1: pure sport and hatred, like we're going to blow up
- 18:17Speaker 1: your neighborhood because you are Jewish. We know you're not there,
- 18:22Speaker 1: we know you have fled, but we want you to
- 18:24Speaker 1: come back to destruction in ruins.
- 18:26Speaker 2: And so you've been in northern Israel. Have you been
- 18:29Speaker 2: in Tel Aviv? Have you been in Jerusalem? Where else
- 18:31Speaker 2: have you been been in?
- 18:33Speaker 1: So? Been in Tel Aviv as well, which is an
- 18:36Speaker 1: incredible city. I didn't realize how much it's like New
- 18:39Speaker 1: York City or a major It's a very modern sitate
- 18:41Speaker 1: life city, thriving, modern city, a lot of technology out
- 18:46Speaker 1: of out of there that is actually exported to the
- 18:48Speaker 1: rest of the world. It's incredible the minds that the
- 18:51Speaker 1: brilliant minds that are working in Tel Aviv. I'm staying
- 18:55Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. I do want to say.
- 18:57Speaker 2: One other thing is that where you are now is
- 18:59Speaker 2: Jerusalem at the King David Hotel.
- 19:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in Jerusalem. I met not the King David.
- 19:04Speaker 1: I'm at the it starts with an A. I can't
- 19:06Speaker 1: remember the name. I'd have to look around the room
- 19:07Speaker 1: and find it. But it's right at the entrance of
- 19:11Speaker 1: the of the markets here, and it's a beautiful market
- 19:14Speaker 1: that they have built this city to try to revive
- 19:16Speaker 1: Jerusalem and make it even more for tourists. It's incredible.
- 19:20Speaker 1: The people he are so kind. But one other thing
- 19:22Speaker 1: I want to mention about this trip so far is
- 19:24Speaker 1: I met with the mother of one of the hostages
- 19:28Speaker 1: that was taken that became unfortunately, she became famous. If
- 19:32Speaker 1: you remember the videos that came out, there is a
- 19:34Speaker 1: girl that's been separated from her boyfriend. She is in
- 19:37Speaker 1: between two terrasts on a motorcycle and she's reaching out
- 19:42Speaker 1: and screaming for her boyfriend who is being held with
- 19:45Speaker 1: his arms and minds back by two terrasts and they're
- 19:47Speaker 1: separating them. And that video just went viral early on
- 19:51Speaker 1: in the moments after he was held underground for two
- 19:55Speaker 1: years without seeing sunlight and was starved, was returned. They
- 20:01Speaker 1: just re reunited. You may have seen that video of
- 20:03Speaker 1: them in the hospital finally getting to see each other
- 20:06Speaker 1: again and hugging and falling backwards as they hug on
- 20:08Speaker 1: the hospital bed, and the mother was telling the story
- 20:12Speaker 1: of her son and the trauma, the way that they
- 20:16Speaker 1: were mentally tortured and lied to, that there was destruction
- 20:19Speaker 1: of all of Israel, been destroyed, That they were told
- 20:23Speaker 1: that their loved ones had been killed, their family members
- 20:26Speaker 1: had been murdered, that no one had survived, that they
- 20:29Speaker 1: were going to die, that they were going to dig
- 20:31Speaker 1: their own grapes. Some of them did to see the torment,
- 20:35Speaker 1: and I think that's one of the things i will
- 20:37Speaker 1: forever remember from this trip and I'm grateful for it.
- 20:39Speaker 1: Is when we talk about what this is like, the
- 20:43Speaker 1: psychological warfare center and the evil of Hamas and Hezballah
- 20:49Speaker 1: has no ends. Whether it's blowing up farmers' homes for sport,
- 20:53Speaker 1: whether it is killing children, is that the soccer ball
- 20:56Speaker 1: and seeing these kids their only crime was being Jewish
- 20:59Speaker 1: and playing sports, that's it. Look, I met.
- 21:04Speaker 2: Kill civilians are the embodiment of evil, and sadly we
- 21:08Speaker 2: live in a world where where evil is plentiful.
- 21:12Speaker 1: It's incredible. So today I'm going to be leaving with
- 21:15Speaker 1: the government and going down to the side of the
- 21:17Speaker 1: attack at the festival uh and I'm going to be
- 21:19Speaker 1: meeting with some of the hostages there. I'm going to
- 21:22Speaker 1: hopefully tell those stories as well in one of our
- 21:25Speaker 1: next episodes, because it's just telling their stories and letting
- 21:28Speaker 1: people understand what happened that day, and going to go
- 21:31Speaker 1: to the kibbutz that were attacked there and and tour
- 21:33Speaker 1: the homes of the of the the children that were
- 21:36Speaker 1: that were murdered in their cribs. I'm going to meet
- 21:38Speaker 1: with the families of the elderly that were killed, including
- 21:41Speaker 1: Holocaust survivors. I met with some Holocaust survivors that were
- 21:44Speaker 1: had to are homeless in essence and had to move
- 21:46Speaker 1: to Jerusalem to survive the war. I met with them
- 21:49Speaker 1: as well. Incredible stories. So we'll have more of that,
- 21:52Speaker 1: I promise you coming up in other episodes. But I
- 21:55Speaker 1: want to say to everyone that is listening, if you
- 21:57Speaker 1: are a person of faith, I the pilgrimage to come
- 22:01Speaker 1: here and to see I think the hope of our
- 22:04Speaker 1: faith and Christianity, to walk where Jesus walked, to walk
- 22:08Speaker 1: where he carried the cross. I did that the first
- 22:10Speaker 1: day I was here.
- 22:11Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh.
- 22:12Speaker 1: And to be able to just see the Sea of
- 22:14Speaker 1: Galilee and witness where so much of our biblical eighty
- 22:18Speaker 1: percent of the biblical history, uh, and in the in
- 22:21Speaker 1: the Bible with Jesus, I got to witness from sending
- 22:23Speaker 1: him one place one It's amazing. And it spread to
- 22:26Speaker 1: the war.
- 22:27Speaker 2: Where they believe Jesus was crucified, where they believe he
- 22:30Speaker 2: was buried, and and and and where he rose again
- 22:33Speaker 2: in heaven.
- 22:34Speaker 1: I got to go to the tom Yeah.
- 22:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean standing in the tomb, I look as
- 22:39Speaker 2: a believer, it takes your breath away.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yeah. The the the as I described it to family
- 22:48Speaker 1: in a text, I said, the level of feeling I
- 22:51Speaker 1: would say the Holy Spirit in these places is something
- 22:54Speaker 1: I've never felt before. Uh. The second closest I've ever
- 22:57Speaker 1: spelt to that type of spiritual gathering of Christian was
- 23:00Speaker 1: honestly Charlie Kirk's memorial and it was incredible. Two of
- 23:06Speaker 1: the biggest spiritual moments in my life have happened in
- 23:08Speaker 1: the last sixty days, both in a weird way around tragedy,
- 23:12Speaker 1: which also is why I think it's incredible when you're
- 23:14Speaker 1: Christian that you know that God is still a God
- 23:16Speaker 1: of hope.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Amen, let's talk about bad news here at home Tuesday. Yeah,
- 23:23Speaker 2: the election, really bad election, all right, So let's start.
- 23:27Speaker 2: Let's start with Virginia. So Virginia, we're sitting here, It's
- 23:31Speaker 2: now eleven thirty six pm on the East Coast. We
- 23:34Speaker 2: have ninety five percent of the vote in and Abigail
- 23:37Speaker 2: Spanberger the Democrat, has fifty seven point four percent of
- 23:43Speaker 2: the vote. When some Earl Seals has forty two point
- 23:46Speaker 2: four percent. So it's at this moment, Yeah, it is
- 23:49Speaker 2: one million, nine hundred and five, four hundred and fifty
- 23:52Speaker 2: two votes to one million, four hundred and two and twenty.
- 23:57Speaker 2: And I will say four years ago, Glenn Youngkin won
- 24:00Speaker 2: and it was a great moment for American Glenn is
- 24:02Speaker 2: a good friend. Virginia turned red in this race. Winsome
- 24:08Speaker 2: and I went and helped do a fundraiser for wins
- 24:12Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago. Winsome is an African American woman.
- 24:15Speaker 2: She's a strong conservative. She was an immigrant from Jamaica.
- 24:18Speaker 2: She is a marine veteran. She was a strong candidate.
- 24:22Speaker 2: She was massively outspent. I think she was outspent more
- 24:26Speaker 2: than two to one, maybe even three to one.
- 24:30Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:30Speaker 2: That being said, you go back to the debate between
- 24:33Speaker 2: Abigail Spanberger and Winsom Earl Series. I've never seen a
- 24:37Speaker 2: more lopsided debate. Abigail Spanberger stared ahead, refused to look
- 24:43Speaker 2: at her, Like you and I have both seen, I
- 24:46Speaker 2: don't know, hundreds of political debates a lot. I've never
- 24:50Speaker 2: seen a political candidate refused to make eye contact with
- 24:55Speaker 2: their opponent. She literally, her attitude was one of contempt,
- 25:01Speaker 2: like you don't exist and you don't merit even my attention.
- 25:06Speaker 2: And I got to say it makes me sad. Look
- 25:08Speaker 2: given the money. Differentially, I'm not shocked that the Democrat won.
- 25:13Speaker 2: We're looking at right now a fifteen point win. That
- 25:17Speaker 2: is yeah, really really bad news.
- 25:21Speaker 1: It's also I think one of the things that was
- 25:23Speaker 1: the most shocking about Virginia is we break this down,
- 25:26Speaker 1: I'm not surprised Democrats won there. I do think it
- 25:29Speaker 1: was a left winning state Youngk and when he won,
- 25:31Speaker 1: it was a perfect storm. You and I, I think,
- 25:33Speaker 1: are the first to admit that. And I love doing
- 25:35Speaker 1: this show with you.
- 25:36Speaker 2: Yeah, and I campaigned for Glenn all over Virginia. I
- 25:39Speaker 2: spent two days on the road with Glenn barnstorming the state.
- 25:43Speaker 2: We won it four years ago, but this is a
- 25:46Speaker 2: different environment. Yeah, it was a perfect storm, and he
- 25:50Speaker 2: was better funded than.
- 25:53Speaker 1: No doubt about it. But there was a perfect storm
- 25:55Speaker 1: with the issue there with parents and rights and schools
- 25:57Speaker 1: and the cover up of well in Loudon County ideology.
- 26:01Speaker 2: So it's worth remembering what happened in lowde County right
- 26:04Speaker 2: before Glenn Youngkin's race where you had a teenage boy
- 26:08Speaker 2: in high school who went into a girl's bathroom in
- 26:12Speaker 2: high school. He was dressed as a girl, he was
- 26:14Speaker 2: in a skirt, and he sexually assaulted He sexually assaulted
- 26:19Speaker 2: a teenage girl, and the school covered it up. They
- 26:23Speaker 2: hid it, and the father of the teenage girl went
- 26:26Speaker 2: to the school board confronted them and said, my daughter
- 26:29Speaker 2: was raped in your school and you're not acknowledging this,
- 26:33Speaker 2: and and and they yelled at him. They said, no,
- 26:37Speaker 2: there has never been a boy dressed as a girl
- 26:40Speaker 2: who sexually assaulted anyone. That was a lie. By the way,
- 26:44Speaker 2: this same sexual offender was transferred to another school where
- 26:47Speaker 2: he sexually assaulted.
- 26:48Speaker 1: Another girl again.
- 26:50Speaker 2: Yeah, he did it again. But they ended up arresting
- 26:54Speaker 2: the father of the girl, of the victim. And that
- 26:58Speaker 2: moment was such a clarifying moment. You also had the
- 27:03Speaker 2: the you know, Randy Winingarten, the head of the teachers unions,
- 27:08Speaker 2: campaigning with Cherry mcculluff, the Democrat nominee, where mccaulluff said,
- 27:12Speaker 2: your kids are not yours to educate, we're in charge
- 27:16Speaker 2: of your kids. It was a perfect storm. Now there
- 27:19Speaker 2: was a state's property and the voters said, well now
- 27:25Speaker 2: at the same time tonight, and we're now at eleven
- 27:28Speaker 2: forty pm. Eleven forty pm with ninety four point six
- 27:33Speaker 2: percent of the votes in Mikey Cheryl in New Jersey
- 27:38Speaker 2: won fifty six point two percent and Jack Chittarelli won
- 27:42Speaker 2: forty three point two percent. So the it's very very similar.
- 27:47Speaker 2: The vote totals are right now, one million, seven hundred
- 27:53Speaker 2: and seventy four one hundred and seventy eight votes for MIKEL.
- 27:55Speaker 2: Cheryl the Democrat and one million, three hundred and sixty
- 27:58Speaker 2: five thousand, fifty two project Chittarelly. I gotta admit this
- 28:04Speaker 2: is an even more surprising result for me than Virginia.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Of the three major elections tonight, I was most optimistic
- 28:14Speaker 2: about New Jersey. Chittarelli seemed an implementum that there were
- 28:19Speaker 2: a bunch of Democrat mayors and elected officials that were
- 28:22Speaker 2: endorsing him. And you know, this is just that that's
- 28:28Speaker 2: what a thirteen point differential as we sit here tonight,
- 28:31Speaker 2: that is a massive, massive loss. And what is disappointing
- 28:37Speaker 2: is is that's not just a loss in Virginia and
- 28:40Speaker 2: New Jersey, but Virginia, New Jersey are historically the first
- 28:45Speaker 2: off year election after a presidential election. They are frequently
- 28:50Speaker 2: a Canarian a coal mine. So you go back to
- 28:55Speaker 2: after Obama was elected, you had Virginia, New Jersey with
- 29:00Speaker 2: elected Republicans and it proved a forerunner of a great
- 29:05Speaker 2: Republican victory coming. This ain't good to have double digit
- 29:10Speaker 2: losses in both New Jersey and Virginia. It is a
- 29:14Speaker 2: really bad sign. If you're a Democrat tonight, you're thrilled,
- 29:17Speaker 2: you're encouraged, And if you're a conservative, you're someone who
- 29:22Speaker 2: loves America. This is a major warning sign.
- 29:25Speaker 1: And I'll say this, it's a warning sign. But I
- 29:27Speaker 1: also want to put it in perspective because these are
- 29:29Speaker 1: states that are that are not Republican states, true, So
- 29:33Speaker 1: I do want to put that in perspective. I also
- 29:35Speaker 1: want to say, and I want to give a little
- 29:37Speaker 1: bit of hope here. The amount of money that came in,
- 29:40Speaker 1: and let's go back to Virginia for a second, was astronomical.
- 29:43Speaker 1: You had a candidate that won on the ballot in
- 29:45Speaker 1: Virginia that had text messages came out saying he wanted
- 29:48Speaker 1: his political opponents to die, including their children, and said
- 29:52Speaker 1: in those text messages that it's only when Republicans are
- 29:55Speaker 1: basically murdered, their children are killed, that then they will
- 29:58Speaker 1: move to our idi. That is the same type of
- 30:01Speaker 1: conversations that I've been having in Israel about what Terrists believe.
- 30:05Speaker 1: And yet that person also won in that race. So
- 30:09Speaker 1: I go back to Democrats are angry. They are mobilized
- 30:13Speaker 1: right now. Mundani for example, in New York, which we're
- 30:16Speaker 1: gonna move to in a second, and a straight up
- 30:18Speaker 1: communist is now going to be running the America's greatest city.
- 30:21Speaker 1: He just wrapped up his speech there in New York City.
- 30:24Speaker 1: But the amount of money that Democrats put into Virginia,
- 30:27Speaker 1: which again is a Democrat state, we did not have
- 30:30Speaker 1: a perfect storm on the issues this time like we
- 30:31Speaker 1: did with Younkin last time. I think young Kin was
- 30:34Speaker 1: a better candidate. I just want to be clear about
- 30:35Speaker 1: that from a political perspective of which can it was
- 30:39Speaker 1: better and Virginia we had some momentum there. It's still
- 30:43Speaker 1: a very liberal state. Is New Jersey is a liberal state?
- 30:47Speaker 2: Yeah, But let me say a couple of things. Number One,
- 30:51Speaker 2: Virginia and New Jersey are both very liberal states. Virginia
- 30:55Speaker 2: has a ton of government workers in northern Virginia. The
- 30:58Speaker 2: Democrats have just use the longest government shut down in
- 31:02Speaker 2: American history, and they nonetheless had.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Any maazing on purpose victory.
- 31:08Speaker 2: It was on purpose. So one of the things I said,
- 31:10Speaker 2: the Democrats would not open the government before today because
- 31:14Speaker 2: they believe the shutdown energizes their base. I predicted we'll
- 31:18Speaker 2: see the government open either later this week or early
- 31:20Speaker 2: next week. And yet apparently all of these government workers
- 31:26Speaker 2: who are not getting paychecks, who haven't gotten paychecks for
- 31:29Speaker 2: thirty five days, they all voted left wing. They all
- 31:32Speaker 2: voted Democrat, even the folks that that Chuck Schumer and
- 31:35Speaker 2: the Democrats purposely shut down their jobs, that their ideology
- 31:40Speaker 2: mattered more than their own home mortgage. And I gotta say,
- 31:44Speaker 2: you under explained.
- 31:45Speaker 1: Let's also explain that the political side of Virginia for
- 31:48Speaker 1: people that don't live in DC or never have or
- 31:51Speaker 1: never worked in DC. So the majority of people that
- 31:54Speaker 1: work in government in d C. And that's a lot
- 31:58Speaker 1: of employees. If you kids, a lot of them don't
- 32:01Speaker 1: live in DC. Disar of Columbia is different, housing, different schooling.
- 32:05Speaker 1: A lot the majority of my friends that work in
- 32:07Speaker 1: politics in DC live in Virginia.
- 32:09Speaker 2: So inwout the jobs, the agree and I don't know
- 32:13Speaker 2: that I would say the majority of the people, but
- 32:15Speaker 2: a large percentage live in northern Virginia, a large percentage
- 32:19Speaker 2: live in Maryland, and a significant percentage live in DC.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Did you see that gold just hit an all time
- 32:25Speaker 1: new high of over four thousand dollars an ounce? And
- 32:29Speaker 1: if you hear that and you're like, are you kidding me?
- 32:31Speaker 1: And you're thinking, gosh, I missed my opportunity, Well, I
- 32:35Speaker 1: don't know if you missed your opportunity, but my friends
- 32:38Speaker 1: at Kurt Elliott Precious Metals they can answer that question
- 32:41Speaker 1: for you. You also may not be paying attention to the
- 32:44Speaker 1: incredible gains with silver that are happening right now as well,
- 32:48Speaker 1: And that's why I trust the guidance of the team
- 32:51Speaker 1: at kirk Elliott. In fact, I literally just got a
- 32:55Speaker 1: hundred ounce bar of silver the other day. And the
- 32:58Speaker 1: reason why is because after I talk to the team
- 33:01Speaker 1: at kirk Elliott Precious Metals, they let me understand exactly
- 33:05Speaker 1: where I could have a big upside in investing in silver. Now.
- 33:09Speaker 1: The other part that I love about them is this
- 33:11Speaker 1: they have transparent pricing There are a lot of gold
- 33:15Speaker 1: companies that you'll hear about if you listen to talk
- 33:17Speaker 1: radio or podcasts or watch TV, but do they tell
- 33:21Speaker 1: you how the pricing actually works well. At kirk Elliott
- 33:25Speaker 1: they're real simple, just eight percent when you buy and
- 33:30Speaker 1: zero commissions when you sell, with no hidden fees. Ever,
- 33:34Speaker 1: that is the other reason why I recommend them to
- 33:37Speaker 1: all of you. They also don't sell you quote rare
- 33:40Speaker 1: coins or precious coins that you pay insane markups on
- 33:44Speaker 1: and then when you go to sell them you find
- 33:45Speaker 1: out they're really not worth that much. They are a
- 33:48Speaker 1: bollyon only approach. They focus on investment grade metals, no
- 33:54Speaker 1: overpriced collectibles, no gimmicks. That means you get more gold
- 33:58Speaker 1: or silver for your at fair value when it's time
- 34:02Speaker 1: for you to sell. So if you're ready to find
- 34:05Speaker 1: out if gold and silver is right for you and
- 34:07Speaker 1: your portfolio, then call them and get a plan. You
- 34:12Speaker 1: can visit them at k e PM dot com slash
- 34:16Speaker 1: ben that's k e PM dot com slash ben or

- 34:38Speaker 1: I mean, I think Virginia the ripple effect is maybe
- 34:41Speaker 1: a better way of describing it, which is, if you
- 34:44Speaker 1: live in Virginia, the chances that you are either a
- 34:47Speaker 1: related or one of your very good friends is missing
- 34:49Speaker 1: a paycheck right now is extremely high.
- 34:53Speaker 2: And thencrats knew that they're so partisan.
- 34:55Speaker 1: And they wanted the governor. Yeah, they wanted it.
- 34:58Speaker 2: They're just angry, and I want to to say, I
- 35:00Speaker 2: want to underscore something you said. Look, the governor's race
- 35:04Speaker 2: is very disappointing. The one that is frankly shocking is
- 35:08Speaker 2: the Virginia AG race. So j Jones, the Democrat won.
- 35:13Speaker 2: He won with fifty two point nine percent. He beat
- 35:17Speaker 2: Jason Miarrez. Jason Millars is the incumbent Republican. He's Cuban American.
- 35:22Speaker 1: Uh.
- 35:22Speaker 2: He got forty six point seven percent, So it was
- 35:26Speaker 2: as of right high ond eleven forty seven. Jay Jones
- 35:30Speaker 2: got one million, seven hundred and three hundred and seventy
- 35:32Speaker 2: votes and Millar's got one million, five hundred and thirty three,
- 35:35Speaker 2: eight hundred and forty one votes. That is truly shocking
- 35:39Speaker 2: because J Jones is the one who texted that he
- 35:42Speaker 2: wanted to see the children of the Republican Speaker of
- 35:46Speaker 2: the House murdered. And it was at a time of
- 35:50Speaker 2: political violence. This sick, depraved psychopath. And I'm sorry if
- 35:56Speaker 2: you were wishing. And by the way, he knew those children.
- 35:59Speaker 2: That these were not abstract children. He knew his colleague.
- 36:02Speaker 2: They were both serving in the state legislature. He knew
- 36:04Speaker 2: his colleagues children, and he said, I want to see
- 36:07Speaker 2: them murdered. He also said he wanted to see his
- 36:10Speaker 2: colleague murder and at the time of glorifying violence. And
- 36:14Speaker 2: there was an enormous discussion. Now, Abigail Spangberger refused to
- 36:18Speaker 2: condemn him, And I will say the Democrats the degree
- 36:21Speaker 2: of message discipline. Not a single Democrat in Virginia that
- 36:25Speaker 2: I'm aware of or nationally condemn J. Jones for saying
- 36:30Speaker 2: and writing he wanted to see the children of his
- 36:33Speaker 2: political opponent murdered. Look, the Democrat party the message disciplined.
- 36:38Speaker 2: If he were Republican, they would have thrown him overboard
- 36:42Speaker 2: in a heartbeat. But the Democrats don't care. They're just like, nope,
- 36:46Speaker 2: we're on this team. A little bit of murder of
- 36:49Speaker 2: children doesn't matter. We're in support of it, I gotta say,
- 36:53Speaker 2: and there was a lot of polling. Look when some sears,
- 36:57Speaker 2: the polling had shown for a fair amount of time
- 37:00Speaker 2: that she was losing Millara is the polling has shown
- 37:04Speaker 2: that he was winning. And so this is a surprising
- 37:07Speaker 2: result that we're looking at a five to six point victory.
- 37:14Speaker 2: That means they're Democrats that do not care. I've got
- 37:17Speaker 2: a candidate who wants children to be murdered. That's my guy.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Like wow, that is a depressing and sad statement of
- 37:27Speaker 2: where we are as a country.
- 37:30Speaker 1: It is and if you go from that to New
- 37:32Speaker 1: York City, which look Mandani said in his speech moments ago,
- 37:38Speaker 1: this is a clear victory for people wanting change. This
- 37:41Speaker 1: race Center was really about class warfare. It was about
- 37:46Speaker 1: Robin hood campaign. For him, it was a straight up communism.
- 37:50Speaker 1: I mean the red apple is literally a communist apple.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Now a man that wants to take from the rich,
- 37:55Speaker 1: give to the poor, push people out that are wealthy
- 37:58Speaker 1: and successful them into port to being poor, and run
- 38:03Speaker 1: people out of the state that he says don't want
- 38:04Speaker 1: to pay their fair share or they are fighting him.
- 38:07Speaker 1: He's all about giving away free stuff, whether it's free
- 38:09Speaker 1: bussing or free food, free grocery store like. This is
- 38:13Speaker 1: full blown communism, is what he's an advocate for. A
- 38:16Speaker 1: guy that's never had a real job in his entire life,
- 38:19Speaker 1: a guy that's radical. His parents a radical as well.
- 38:22Speaker 1: He won overwhelmingly in New York City. That is the
- 38:26Speaker 1: biggest concern for me is that this cancer of socialism
- 38:30Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is spreading, and I would say spreading
- 38:33Speaker 1: rapidly to America's most biggest and most important financial city.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Look, comrade Mondami is now the mayor of New York.
- 38:44Speaker 2: That is incredibly distressing. This man is a communist and
- 38:48Speaker 2: he is a Jahadist, and those are not I'm not
- 38:51Speaker 2: using those as empty epithetic.
- 38:53Speaker 1: Explain that the jihadis aspects of people. Know what you
- 38:56Speaker 1: mean by that.
- 38:57Speaker 2: So so listen. This is someone who is cheered for Hamas.
- 39:02Speaker 2: He has called for the eradication of Israel. He is.
- 39:07Speaker 2: He is an Islamist. He believes in political Islam. He
- 39:12Speaker 2: had told the people of New York the police brutality
- 39:15Speaker 2: in New York was trained and taught by the IDF,
- 39:19Speaker 2: the Israeli Defense Forces. That's psychotic. He is a communist
- 39:26Speaker 2: and I don't say that in the sense that like
- 39:29Speaker 2: sometimes people say, oh, democrats are all communists. No, know,
- 39:31Speaker 2: this is someone that calls for seizing the means of
- 39:34Speaker 2: production in society. He is an explicit and this is
- 39:38Speaker 2: something that's called the Red Green Alliance, which is the
- 39:42Speaker 2: alliance between Jahatis and communists, and Mamdani is the intersection
- 39:49Speaker 2: of both of them. There are some Republicans that are happy.
- 39:52Speaker 2: They're like, Okay, this is great. Will We'll have great
- 39:55Speaker 2: victories in twenty twenty six and twenty twenty eight because
- 39:58Speaker 2: there's such a whack job as mayor of New York
- 40:01Speaker 2: that in every other state will be able to campaign
- 40:03Speaker 2: against Comrade Mamdani. I am not celebrating. Look New York.
- 40:10Speaker 2: New York's not my favorite city in the world. But
- 40:12Speaker 2: New York is a crown jewel of America. New York
- 40:15Speaker 2: is the financial capital of the world. New York is
- 40:19Speaker 2: the media capital of the world. By any measure, New
- 40:22Speaker 2: York is one of the most important cities in America.
- 40:27Speaker 2: And to have New York now governed by a radical
- 40:31Speaker 2: communist jihadis let me tell you what's going to happen.
- 40:34Speaker 2: More people are going to die in New York Comrade
- 40:37Speaker 2: Mandani is going to wage war against the NYPD. I'm
- 40:40Speaker 2: in New York quite a bit, I can tell you.
- 40:42Speaker 2: I actually can't tell you how many New York cops
- 40:45Speaker 2: have said they're terrified of what's going to happen if
- 40:49Speaker 2: this guy wins. You're going to see the police.
- 40:51Speaker 1: He's made it clear in the past he wants to
- 40:52Speaker 1: get rid of all police. He said he wants to
- 40:54Speaker 1: abolish the police. He believes there should be no police
- 40:57Speaker 1: force in New York City.
- 40:58Speaker 2: Look, there's going to be more in New York. There's
- 41:01Speaker 2: gonna be more rapes in New York. They're gonna be
- 41:03Speaker 2: more children attacked in New York. We're going to see
- 41:07Speaker 2: more with resources fleeing New York, coming to Florida, coming
- 41:12Speaker 2: to Texas. And the results as of eleven to fifty
- 41:15Speaker 2: two PM, Mom Donnie fifty point four percent. Andrew Cuomo,
- 41:23Speaker 2: who was the governor of New York. He's a Democrat,
- 41:25Speaker 2: he's not like a right wing guy. He's Andrew Friggin
- 41:27Speaker 2: Cuomo forty one point six percent, and then Curtis Silwa
- 41:32Speaker 2: seven point one percent. Now, look, I would have liked
- 41:35Speaker 2: to have seen Silwa drop out.
- 41:38Speaker 1: Yeah, to give Alomo on TV.
- 41:41Speaker 2: Yeah, to give to give Cuomo a better chance of
- 41:43Speaker 2: winning seven percent is just a spoiler. And but I'll
- 41:48Speaker 2: tell you what's distressing. As of right now, even if
- 41:51Speaker 2: Silwa dropped out, if you gave every bit one hundred
- 41:54Speaker 2: percent of Silba's votes to Cuomo, and you wouldn't have
- 41:57Speaker 2: there some people that would say, I'm not voting for Kuoma.
- 42:00Speaker 2: But if he gave one hundred percent, Soa as of
- 42:03Speaker 2: right now, had one hundred and forty one hundred and
- 42:05Speaker 2: twenty seven votes. Cuomo had eight hundred and fifty four thousand,
- 42:08Speaker 2: seven hundred and eighty three. If you add those two together,
- 42:12Speaker 2: it's still less than what Mandani had of one million,
- 42:16Speaker 2: thirty five thousand, six hundred and forty six. So Mondami
- 42:18Speaker 2: right now is at fifty point four percent, which means
- 42:22Speaker 2: it means it didn't matter. A majority of New Yorkers
- 42:25Speaker 2: wanted a communist Jahatist. And I got to say, you know,
- 42:28Speaker 2: a couple of days ago, like we saw some Jewish
- 42:33Speaker 2: rabbis in New York endorsing Mandami. I got to tell
- 42:37Speaker 2: you a buddy of mine, I went to college with
- 42:39Speaker 2: very smart guy, brilliant guy. He was a college debater
- 42:42Speaker 2: actually had debated with him. But he is a liberal Democrat.
- 42:47Speaker 2: He is a Jewish New Yorker. I was in New
- 42:49Speaker 2: York three four weeks ago and we spent about an
- 42:52Speaker 2: hour sitting around around a glass scotch where he was
- 42:56Speaker 2: explaining he had voted from Mondami and I don't know
- 43:00Speaker 2: what say to that, like, it is truly terrifying.
- 43:05Speaker 1: This's where the Democrat Party is going.
- 43:08Speaker 2: This is the future of the Democrat Party. You might think, Okay,
- 43:13Speaker 2: that vodes well for America because the rest of the
- 43:16Speaker 2: country will move in the direction of common sense. I
- 43:19Speaker 2: got to say, at least New Jersey and Virginia are
- 43:22Speaker 2: not encouraging that regard.
- 43:25Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Finally, want to get your
- 43:27Speaker 1: quick thoughts. It is official. I'm looking at the numbers
- 43:30Speaker 1: on the TV right now. California has passed Proposition fifty.
- 43:36Speaker 1: Tell people what that is quickly and your reaction to that.
- 43:40Speaker 2: So California wants to redistrict. They're going to redistrict to
- 43:44Speaker 2: create five new Democrat seats. California is already one of
- 43:47Speaker 2: the most heavily gerrymandered states in the country. I think
- 43:51Speaker 2: eighty two eighty three percent of the seats are Democrat,
- 43:55Speaker 2: even though only about sixty percent of the votes are Democrat. There,
- 44:00Speaker 2: we're gonna jack it up to over ninety percent Democrat.
- 44:03Speaker 2: They're just that they're trying to eliminate Republicans. They're telling
- 44:07Speaker 2: Republicans in California you have no voice. And this is
- 44:11Speaker 2: an example Democrats do not give a damn about democracy.
- 44:17Speaker 2: This is all about power. Now you're gonna see other
- 44:20Speaker 2: Republican states respond. You're gonna see other republican states redistrict.
- 44:24Speaker 2: They claimed they were doing this in response to Texas,
- 44:27Speaker 2: but Texas was went from about sixty three percent Republicans
- 44:35Speaker 2: to about seventy six percent Republicans. Texas votes overwhelmingly Republicans,
- 44:41Speaker 2: so by any measure, even under the new map, Texas
- 44:44Speaker 2: is markedly less gerrymanner than California used to be. And
- 44:48Speaker 2: they decided eighty three percent is not enough. We want
- 44:51Speaker 2: to get north of ninety. This is pure power. This
- 44:55Speaker 2: shows Gavin Newsom has contempt for democracy and and it
- 45:01Speaker 2: is sadly typical of where Democrats are Nashley.
- 45:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, It truly is. And they just said,
- 45:07Speaker 1: if you're a Republican in California. You have zero representation here.
- 45:12Speaker 1: Get out, leave the state, and we will not listen
- 45:14Speaker 1: to a word that you say. It's amazing. It is
- 45:18Speaker 1: like you said, it was a rough night for Republicans.
- 45:20Speaker 1: I say it again, putting it in perspective. These are
- 45:23Speaker 1: all places that lean Democrat. They had a lot of money,
- 45:28Speaker 1: they had a lot of momentum. They wanted to show
- 45:30Speaker 1: some victories against Donald Trump. The government shutdown clearly had
- 45:33Speaker 1: a big impact in the Virginia race there and and
- 45:37Speaker 1: I'm still in shock by where we are in New
- 45:38Speaker 1: York City. Uh with it with a full blown communist there.
- 45:42Speaker 1: We're gonna keep talking about it. We'll keep you informed,
- 45:44Speaker 1: and we'll also I will be giving you the stories
- 45:47Speaker 1: coming up in two days about seeing where this masker
- 45:51Speaker 1: took place on the October seventh attack in Israel, and
- 45:54Speaker 1: the victims I'm gonna meet with will have all that
- 45:56Speaker 1: for you on the next verdict. Also this one is
