Say goodbye to your credit card
0:02
rewards. Greedy corporate megastores, led by
0:04
Walmart and Target, are pushing for
0:06
law in Congress to take away
0:08
your hard-earned cash back and travel
0:10
points to line their pockets. The
0:12
Durbin Marshall Credit Card Bill would
0:14
enact harmful credit card routing mandates
0:17
that would end credit card rewards
0:19
as we know it. If you
0:21
love your credit card rewards, tell
0:23
your lawmakers, hands off, my rewards.
0:25
Tell them to oppose the Durbin
0:27
Marshall Credit Card Bill. Good
0:30
morning and happy Monday, ladies
0:33
and gentlemen. Welcome
0:52
to the Defiant Podcast. Thank you
0:54
for joining me. I'm
0:56
your host, Majeed Padelin,
0:58
aka Brooklyn Dad Defiant.
1:02
Let's talk about protest. The
1:04
very fabric of our nation's DNA
1:06
is heavily steeped in the history
1:08
of protest. I mean,
1:10
the act of people crossing the
1:12
Atlantic, leaving England to form our
1:14
own nation, was the biggest
1:17
protest of all. The Boston
1:19
Tea Party, throwing a bunch of boxes of
1:21
tea in the water, protesting
1:23
taxation without representation.
1:26
The Revolutionary War, major
1:28
protest. Rosa Parks refused
1:30
to sit in the back of the
1:33
bus. Now that is
1:35
defiant. In the civil
1:37
rights movement, people peacefully sat
1:39
in whites-only diners to protest
1:41
Jim Crow segregation laws. Millions
1:44
of American citizens utilized marches,
1:46
sit-ins, and burned draft cards
1:48
in protest of the Vietnam
1:50
War. A professional football player,
1:52
Colin Kaepernick, silently took a knee
1:54
during the singing of the national
1:56
anthem to protest police violence against
1:59
the United States. unarmed black civilians.
2:02
In most of these cases, with
2:04
the exception of course, you know of war, these
2:07
protests were nonviolent. In
2:10
all of these cases, people were
2:12
putting themselves out there publicly in
2:14
front of crowds to state their
2:16
opposition to injustice, to how
2:18
certain people were being treated or
2:21
killed. In all of these
2:23
cases, these protests were not convenient
2:25
for people not engaged in the
2:27
protest. People just trying to get
2:29
to and from work while a
2:31
protest is blocking the road. Very
2:33
inconvenient, frustrating, and even annoying. People
2:36
affected by these protests, hey, I'm not
2:38
the one oppressing you. Why
2:40
are you penalizing me? Is
2:43
probably the most common reaction.
2:46
And I guess you can't blame them because
2:48
they don't understand the nature of protest. Protest
2:51
is not meant to be convenient. Protest
2:54
is not meant to be comfortable. Protest,
2:57
when it's most effective, is meant
2:59
to make as many people as
3:02
possible uncomfortable. Otherwise,
3:06
who actually gives a shit? If
3:08
civil rights protests were quietly, politely
3:11
conducted in the privacy of one's
3:13
own basement without even raising your
3:15
voice, just sitting in prayer silently?
3:18
Well, we wouldn't have overcome,
3:20
would we? If nobody made
3:22
a fuss about the people dying in the
3:24
Vietnam War, how much longer
3:27
would America have remained? Uncomfortable,
3:30
very uncomfortable, and inconvenient.
3:33
And it's protected by the First Amendment. That's
3:36
how important the right to protest is
3:38
in America. We made it first.
3:41
More than guns. But that doesn't
3:43
mean we get to abuse it, does it? That
3:46
thing about yelling fire in a crowded
3:49
theater that's not on fire? That's illegal.
3:51
You Can't use your First Amendment
3:54
right to infringe upon our right
3:56
to life, liberty, and the pursuit
3:58
of happiness. There's
4:00
can make us uncomfortable. Loud
4:02
noises obstructing traffic, sit work
4:05
stoppages, boycotts, All those things
4:07
are fair game. But.
4:10
When you threaten someone, Safety. You
4:12
have crossed the line. When
4:15
you use your First Amendment rights to
4:17
say somebody else does not have the
4:19
right to exist. Like what
4:21
the fuck is that actually? You
4:24
have lost the plot. If
4:27
you're protest in defense of people
4:29
who are being wrongfully bombed in
4:31
massive numbers. If you're protests means
4:33
targeting people who had nothing to
4:36
do with the political or military
4:38
decision making process that leads to
4:40
that bombing. Then. You
4:42
are wrong. Full
4:45
stop. I'm
4:47
Muslim. My. Dad was
4:49
Jewish. My. Sister is
4:52
jewess. My. Best friend who
4:54
passed away. Was. Jewish.
4:56
I. Hate what happened on October
4:59
seventh. I denounce
5:01
Hamas in the strongest possible
5:03
terms. I denounce
5:05
Netanyahu in the strongest possible
5:08
terms. the only seems interested
5:10
in prolonging the war to
5:12
save his job with no
5:14
regard for civilians. I.
5:16
Abhor the killing of over
5:18
thirty thousand Palestinians. Including
5:20
over ten thousand children. I mean,
5:23
who with a heart? Wouldn't
5:25
despise that. I believe that
5:27
Israel has the right to defend itself. I.
5:30
Also questioned whether the sustained
5:32
indiscriminate bombing for months on
5:34
end of civilians in pursuit
5:36
of Hamas. I
5:38
question if that counts as self
5:41
defense if you're using a sledgehammer
5:43
instead of a scalpel. I don't
5:45
think it's humane. To. Prevent
5:48
supplies from getting through
5:50
systematically starving thousands of
5:52
people to death. How
5:55
does that count as self defense? It.
5:58
looks like collective punishment It
6:01
makes me angry that the weapons
6:03
we supply Israel with are being
6:05
used to slaughter civilians who have
6:08
been herded, starving into a tiny
6:10
area of Rafah, which Netanyahu is
6:12
preparing to mercilessly bludgeon. I
6:15
know our support for Israel isn't tied
6:18
to just one president. It's
6:20
a long-standing U.S. policy. But
6:23
the current leader of Israel's wanton
6:25
disregard for civilian lives makes me
6:27
wonder if we shouldn't
6:29
be revising our policy until he's
6:31
been replaced. And I feel
6:34
like both sides are talking past each other. Yeah,
6:36
what about my pain and suffering? What
6:39
about how you killed my people? All
6:42
of those voices of protest are valid.
6:45
Their concerns should be heard. But
6:47
how do we move forward from there
6:50
without continuing the cycle of pain, retribution,
6:52
and death? I believe there
6:54
should be a two-state solution. It's the
6:56
only way to sustainable peace. And
6:59
I also believe that there is no
7:01
overnight path to that sustainable peace. I
7:04
think it has to begin at the
7:06
lowest, most local possible level on both
7:08
sides. Rabbis and imams
7:11
have to be committed to
7:13
preach peace to their followers
7:15
nonstop until the message breaks
7:17
through. If you don't reach people's
7:19
hearts and minds, it won't
7:21
matter how many Republican and Democratic
7:23
presidents stick their noses into the Middle
7:25
East. It won't matter how
7:28
many people intervene. Now
7:30
for the big conversation. We
7:33
welcome back to the show our friend,
7:35
Malcolm Nance. You
7:37
may know Nance as the globally
7:39
renowned expert on terrorism, extremism, and
7:42
insurgency from his stunning new book,
7:44
They Want to Kill Americans,
7:47
the Malicious, Terrorist, and Deranged
7:49
Ideology of the Trump Insurgency.
7:52
He became a New York Times bestseller, as
7:54
was his last book, The
7:56
Plot to Hack America. He's
7:58
the counter-terrorism analyst. for NBC
8:01
and MSNBC. And
8:03
Nance has considered one of
8:05
the quote unquote great African
8:07
Americans in espionage by the
8:10
International Spy Museum. But he's
8:12
also extremely well sourced on the
8:14
what's happening in the armed forces
8:17
and has spent time on the front lines
8:19
of Ukraine. Today he shifts
8:21
his expertise and perspective to what's
8:23
happening across America and who's
8:26
behind these mass protests in Gaza.
8:29
We'll talk about the potential blowback for
8:31
President Biden and the Democratic
8:33
coalition in general as the student
8:36
left pulls the party in a
8:38
potentially dangerous direction. Let's
8:41
go to the tape. Okay,
8:52
Malcolm, thank you so much for joining
8:54
me here on the Defiant podcast. It's
8:56
an honor to have you here. Oh,
8:58
I'm really glad to be here. Because
9:01
if there's any name that I can
9:03
certainly relate
9:05
to, it's Defiant. That's right. That
9:09
word. Yeah, in fact, the last time
9:11
you and I spoke, it
9:14
was on my other show with Story Time with
9:16
BDD. And you were
9:18
one of the earliest voices expressing
9:21
extreme confidence in Ukraine's
9:23
ability to not only
9:25
hold their ground, but
9:28
also to push back against Russia
9:30
and defeat them. See, I myself,
9:32
I was skeptical because growing up,
9:36
we learned that Russia, well, back then, Russia
9:38
was the Soviet Union, and they
9:40
were like the big bad power that we were
9:43
trained to fear. How
9:45
on earth has Ukraine
9:47
fared this well for so long?
9:50
Well, for those of your followers that don't know,
9:52
I was in the Ukrainian army for a better
9:54
part of a year. When I left.
9:57
MSNBC, I went over and I joined the Ukrainian
9:59
army. They do. You know
10:01
it. It a thought I was
10:03
sixty at the time and why
10:05
I had one. It's important, the
10:07
largest offensive against Russia it since
10:10
World War Two and it's on
10:12
my sixty first birthday at it.
10:14
Why it works. Mint sniper air
10:16
of of Third Battalion International Legion
10:18
but. Up. But before that
10:20
you know I went to Ukraine a month
10:23
before the war. And. I was studying.
10:25
How would Russia do it? How would their
10:27
invasion routes have to work their way through
10:29
Ukraine? Here's the first thing I minutes and
10:31
will teach your listeners. Ukraine is not a
10:34
small. Impressions
10:36
is the distance between
10:38
New York City, And.
10:41
Tampa, Florida, That.
10:43
Make it. Is A and and
10:45
the War. Is. In the
10:47
last thirty minutes of an eight
10:49
team our end to end drive
10:52
addicts eighteen hours to go from
10:54
the Polish border to the Russian
10:56
border minister for to go to
10:58
the south east corner and continue
11:00
driving. The war would only be
11:03
in the last thirty minutes of
11:05
your drive, but it's a very
11:07
large area. eleven hundred kilometers long.
11:09
it's you know, several hundred in
11:11
a couple hundred kilometers deep, much
11:13
in the places that Russia took
11:16
first and. Twenty Four team the
11:18
province of Don't That Skyn New
11:20
Ads which they seized almost you
11:22
know with with with very little
11:24
combat than Twenty Twenty Two. They
11:27
right to see the whole bunch
11:29
more of Ukraine they tried to.
11:31
They seized Curse On province in
11:33
the south in order to make
11:35
their way to Odessa. Got stopped.
11:38
they seized a Zapper easier province.
11:40
Half of that. They. Seized.
11:43
Our. Car Thief Province, part of
11:45
that in the north. ah
11:48
sue me in the north east
11:50
and then turn me have north
11:52
of keep and then the outer
11:54
parts of of keep province out
11:56
to the north and if there
11:59
was any One thing, I met the
12:01
top two battle commanders 10 days
12:04
before the invasion. General
12:06
Sirsky, who is now commander of the
12:08
Ukrainian armed forces, and General Pavliyuk, who
12:10
is now commander of Ukraine's land warfare
12:13
forces. I
12:15
set this on air and got
12:17
a lot of pushback from an
12:19
MSNBC host, where I said, hey, wait
12:21
a minute. You're talking
12:24
about defeating Russia, Russia rolling
12:26
through there in no time.
12:28
And they had some academic going with me. And
12:31
I said, first off, you have not been here. Kiev
12:34
is the size of Chicago. And
12:37
there are little old ladies filling up
12:39
Molotov cocktail bottles with,
12:41
you know, with, by the way, the stuffed
12:43
styrofoam in it, so
12:45
that it sticks to your body
12:48
and melts onto you. Oh,
12:50
my God. Right. It's not
12:52
just gasoline with a little torch in it. It's
12:54
styrofoam. It's the bottle styrofoam.
12:58
Detergent, right, Dawn liquid,
13:02
gasoline, and it becomes napalm. And
13:05
I am not joking. In the
13:07
run up to the war, there were hundreds and
13:09
hundreds of bottles just
13:11
sitting next to checkpoints, where little ladies
13:14
from the 20th floor, we're going to
13:16
chuck them out the window, what they
13:18
called the Bandara milkshake. Wow. And I
13:20
said, they're never taking this city. They're
13:23
never taking the city of Kiev. It
13:26
is too big. They don't have
13:28
enough resources. I've been tracking the Russian
13:30
army units. I go, they don't have
13:32
enough men. And
13:35
I got some severe pushback, like, well, what do
13:37
you know? You know, you're just there. And
13:39
you just studied them. One factor
13:42
I said was I was told,
13:44
well, you know, Russia has this massive army.
13:47
I said, yeah, I know Russia has a massive
13:49
army. That doesn't matter. OK, we
13:51
get routinely defeated by men in flip flops.
13:55
What you need to understand is
13:57
the Ukrainians have an army.
14:01
And if you think about it, the run up to the
14:03
war, no one ever talked about the Ukrainian army. No
14:05
one. No. No, no. They're showing
14:07
Russian footage of airplanes shooting rockets and
14:09
tanks running everywhere. The Ukrainian army was
14:12
not sitting around. They had been in
14:14
the field with all of their war
14:16
stocks open for two weeks,
14:19
waiting like this, preparing
14:21
their positions, getting their ambushes ready.
14:23
And when the Russians invaded, they
14:25
slaughtered them with a capital S.
14:29
Even though Russia used mass to push
14:31
in, they kicked their ass.
14:33
And so usually when people ask me, hey,
14:35
Malcolm, how's the war in Ukraine going? We
14:38
kick their ass. I mean,
14:41
just an ass kicking. It
14:43
slowed down to a trickle of ass
14:45
kicking. And yes, Russia is
14:47
making some advances in the last
14:49
few months, but I can measure
14:51
those advances in a dozen or
14:54
more kilometers. Would you
14:56
attribute it to military strategy
14:58
or equipment or training
15:00
or fatigue on the Russian
15:02
side? What
15:05
would you attribute their success to? Two
15:09
things. And one, I went to
15:11
school for one of those things. The other
15:13
one you couldn't create. First
15:16
was the U.S. supply javelin missile,
15:19
which, by the way, the 1,200 or some odd missiles that
15:23
the United States had given to
15:25
Ukraine under the Obama administration, that
15:27
the Trump administration held up as
15:30
an explosion for Vladimir
15:32
Zelensky. Once
15:34
it got released after the
15:37
after the impeachment, the Ukrainians
15:39
had this weapon system. I went
15:41
to javelin shooter school. I was I was
15:43
with Gurd Ministry of Defense Intelligence, all
15:46
of their paramilitary teams, which is where I
15:48
was with, went to javelin school. And I
15:50
was like, this is the coolest toy ever.
15:52
You put a little side on it, it's
15:55
got a thermal optic. It sees way out
15:57
there. You know, fog doesn't clear. You
15:59
know, you can have a fog, snow, whatever, it sees
16:01
the heat signature of the tank. And then
16:03
what you do is you
16:05
look through the actual seeker
16:08
head on the missile. So
16:11
you are seeing what the missile
16:13
will see when it goes flying,
16:15
right? And so when you're
16:18
ready to launch, you're looking at the
16:20
tank through the missile sensor, and then
16:22
you press launch on what we call
16:24
the CLU, the command launch unit, and
16:26
whoosh, so it goes off
16:28
and the missile will go to whatever it just saw.
16:31
It won't stop until it gets there and
16:33
hits it or goes over
16:35
the top, blows up and shoots
16:37
down through the other part. And
16:39
boy, we were slaughtering, the Ukrainians
16:41
were slaughtering the Russians with these
16:43
javelin missiles. And the British
16:45
end law, the new light anti-tank
16:47
weapon, which I learned to fire also,
16:49
has a cool little red dot optic
16:51
that you use. And they were just
16:54
ambushing Russian tanks in forests and
16:56
villages. And they didn't use these on
16:58
trucks, only on tanks, right?
17:01
And at night, they would go out into
17:03
the forest and they would destroy, the only
17:05
priority we had was the destruction of fuel
17:07
trucks. But all
17:10
of this, how did they
17:12
defeat a much larger army?
17:14
They literally destroyed three full
17:17
Russian armies, right?
17:20
The ones from the northwest, the ones from the
17:22
northeast and the ones from the east. Just
17:25
slaughtered them. How? Because
17:28
Ukrainians have something the Russians don't have. And
17:31
they got guts. These
17:33
people, we used to call it the
17:36
Cossack attitude. I
17:38
said, Ukrainians, they're like, Russians are out there.
17:40
They were like, Russians? And they got that
17:43
little sleeve in their eye, they start whirling
17:45
their mustache and taking up their sword, running
17:47
over their head. And it's like, woo woo
17:49
woo! They all wanted to
17:51
fight. And we were like, whoa, boys! Let's
17:55
do a little intelligence collection first before you run
17:57
out there and start, you know, whaling
17:59
away. It was a
18:01
little bighorn for the Russians every day. Okay,
18:04
swirling bands of gossacks,
18:07
riding circles around them and just wiping
18:09
them out. And the Russians are a
18:12
bunch of yahoos. They didn't want to be there. None
18:14
of them had any skill or some
18:16
people didn't even know they were in
18:18
Ukraine until they saw the Ukrainian gas
18:20
stations full of whiskey and liquor. Because
18:23
gas stations are awesome, by the way.
18:25
They're whole walls of liquor. And
18:27
in my pre-war assessment, when I drove
18:30
the invasion route from the northeast, I
18:32
was counting the number of Sokhar
18:34
and Oko gas stations because
18:37
they're like three times
18:39
the size of 7-Eleven. And
18:41
one entire wall is alcohol.
18:43
Like French wine and Georgian
18:45
bread, you know, Armenian brandy.
18:47
They had Jack Daniels on
18:49
display next to the front
18:51
case. Big
18:53
wrapped with a six-pack of Coke so you
18:55
would buy a whole Jack and Coke thing.
18:58
And I was like, the Russians are never getting
19:00
past these gas stations. They're
19:03
themselves blind at night.
19:06
Exactly what happened. And then the
19:08
cossacks came out at night. Which
19:11
is why so many tractors were
19:13
pulling pure untouched Russian tanks because
19:15
they were just slaughtering the soldiers. First they
19:18
get them drunk and then they attack them.
19:20
Well, the Russians just get drunk anyway. I mean,
19:22
they just neck go drunk. I'm not how that's
19:24
not an exaggeration. I can tell you
19:27
about a facility I saw when we seized the city
19:29
of Kupyans. We took over a logistics
19:31
base and a special forces base. And
19:34
there was, I have a photograph of it, a
19:37
pile of bottles that
19:39
was 21 feet long, 7 meters
19:42
long, by 2 meters
19:44
wide. That's six and a half, maybe
19:46
eight feet wide by three
19:49
feet high. And it was
19:51
a list of empty hard liquor bottles,
19:53
not beer. Hard
19:56
liquor. And they were assembling
19:58
them all in one place because... somebody we're
20:00
going to take them empty bottles home to
20:02
Russia and make some money up of a
20:04
refill. I couldn't believe it
20:07
when I was rolling into this place. I'm
20:09
like all tactical and I'm like, Yeah, yeah,
20:11
what? What? It's
20:13
so dangerous. You never take a photo. And I
20:15
go, no one will believe me.
20:17
I was the intelligence guy. So I had a photo
20:20
like, I got to take a picture
20:22
of this. No one will
20:24
believe the approximate three or 4000
20:26
bottles liquor that the Russians were
20:28
drinking. Just
20:31
in this compound, they emptied
20:33
the country of every bottle of whiskey
20:35
and vodka and whatever. So
20:37
let me let me switch gears with you a
20:39
little bit. I
20:42
want to talk briefly about the
20:45
importance of the aid
20:47
package for Ukraine. So what in
20:50
your mind, was the game
20:52
that the GOP was trying to play to,
20:55
you know, to try to prevent its pack,
20:57
you know, the passage of that bill? You
21:00
know, years ago, back in 2016, when
21:03
I was still young, I
21:05
wrote a book that
21:07
was describing the Russian
21:10
intelligence operation that was designed to
21:12
get Donald Trump elected president. And
21:15
the book was called Plot to Hack America became
21:17
like a real sleeper book, New
21:19
York Times bestseller still,
21:22
still to this day, that book is
21:24
still like 10 or $15. If you can
21:27
get a copy of it. It
21:30
still sells and it's out of print. And
21:34
in that book, I had a
21:36
chapter I called the Kremlin group
21:39
with Kate, right, the
21:41
Kremlin crew. And I
21:43
talked about Paul Manafort, Boris Epstein,
21:45
all of these guys who and
21:48
Trump and how they were
21:50
completely enamored with Moscow, Steve
21:53
Bannon, you
21:56
know, who technically Trump's, you
21:58
know, subversive campaign. manager was
22:01
a huge follower of a Russian philosopher
22:04
called Alexander Dugin. And
22:07
Dugin was the believer in a,
22:09
or developed a philosophy called neo-Eurasianism,
22:11
which is where the poles of
22:14
the world would flip, upending
22:17
where America and Western Europe
22:20
would be one bulwark against
22:22
Russia. And if
22:24
done right through subversion and
22:27
buying conservative political movements in
22:29
Europe, they could flip the
22:31
poles of the world to where Moscow
22:34
would be the central
22:37
axis of the world
22:39
with a conservative dictatorial,
22:41
fascistic Donald Trump
22:44
administration holding up the Western
22:46
wall of what I call
22:48
the axis of autocracies. And
22:52
they were pushing autocracy all throughout
22:54
Europe. They gave Marine Le Pen
22:57
almost $50 million, the
23:00
woman who challenged Macron in France.
23:03
They essentially bought the government
23:05
of Austria and they were
23:07
elected. They tried to do
23:09
a coup d'etat in Macedonia
23:11
to get the Russians a
23:13
naval base in the Adriatic
23:15
Sea using Serbian terrorists. They
23:18
funded AFD in Germany,
23:20
right wing, crazy anti-immigrant
23:23
movement in Germany. And Moscow was
23:25
essentially trying to flip the world
23:27
on its head through judo with
23:30
money. I was going
23:32
to, I just wanted to back you
23:34
up a bit because I swear about
23:36
two or three minutes ago you said
23:38
buy conservative and I just wanted to
23:40
make sure I heard you correctly. So
23:42
you're saying these guys are actually buying
23:44
our politicians? Sure. Absolutely
23:47
buying our politicians. And
23:49
I wrote another book about it called
23:51
the plot to destroy democracy, how Putin
23:53
and his spies were undermining
23:55
America and dismantling the West. And
23:58
in it I show every conservative group
24:00
in Europe and how they're getting
24:03
all this money from United Russia,
24:05
which is Putin's political action. It's
24:07
his party. And
24:10
so in there,
24:12
there are three unique chapters,
24:14
one where the Russians buy
24:17
the American extremist evangelical movement.
24:20
And they started holding these conferences called
24:22
the Defense of Christianity Conference in Moscow
24:24
every year. And it was for crazy
24:26
extremists, right? Focus on the family groups
24:29
like that. But it got so popular
24:31
in the evangelical movement that what's
24:34
his name, Franklin Graham was
24:36
coming there every year and was like
24:38
hanging out with Putin and talking about
24:40
how awesome a Russian Orthodox Christian he
24:42
was and how Christianity was under attack
24:45
from Islam, which by the way, was
24:47
some of bin Laden's strategy to create
24:49
a cultural war between Islam and
24:51
the West. These guys were picking up that
24:53
mantle. So first they bought the
24:55
evangelicals and I mean, they're bought. Next,
24:58
Steve Bannon, the actual founder of
25:01
the alt right. Do you know
25:03
the alt right actually started with

all of his hundreds of

millions of dollars by hiring
26:15
Chinese gamers to go on
26:17
these games and collect the
26:19
points are you know and
26:21
little trinkets and power up
26:23
and level ups and selling
26:25
them for as. To. American
26:27
games but one the discord servers
26:29
were. you could do all your
26:31
chat and stuff. Do think we're
26:34
talking up. What
26:36
it is to be you know, at
26:38
it or real American man right? conservative,
26:40
radical, hating all those women. That's where
26:42
Gamer Gate came from. Ah, hang on
26:45
a second. Just a little while ago
26:47
there was a guy. Who.
26:50
It was an American young young guy
26:52
in his twenties or something and he
26:54
was literally just arrested. And
26:57
he had his own. Group. I'm
26:59
hoping that I'm a mom. Ringing.
27:02
A bell for you on this
27:04
thing. Here are he and he
27:06
did this through Discord Group. Of
27:08
it's exactly what you're saying. Is. If
27:10
a guy we got arrested in Idaho
27:13
that was good know that guy was
27:15
gonna join Isis. Anyway, the right wing
27:17
was using these Discord service and Steve
27:19
Bannon. Literally created
27:21
the old right from
27:24
these young white. Men:
27:27
Gamers and it expanded and he
27:29
was pushing this philosophy. On
27:31
these computer ceremonies could chat rooms about
27:34
what it is to be a man
27:36
was going to smack pages and you
27:38
gotta you know do all the stops.
27:41
And then when the All Right got
27:43
together with the Neo Nazis and the
27:45
Confederate Heritage people. That. Was
27:48
supposed to be there. Could tell you
27:50
that was supposed to be. they're coming
27:52
out. As. A political action
27:55
arm. Of. The Swamp
27:57
Administration. Know. here's
27:59
the kicker The two leaders
28:01
of that movement, David Duke was a
28:03
big one, and Richard Spencer, the head
28:05
of the American Neo-Nazi Party, both
28:09
owned apartments in Moscow, as
28:11
did the head of the
28:13
American California Separatist Movement, the
28:15
America Texas Separatist Movement. These
28:17
people were all being feted
28:20
by Moscow. Between
28:22
Bannon, Richard Spencer, who
28:25
is, I can't remember the name of the
28:27
head of the alt-right who formed Charlottesville,
28:29
he too was going to Moscow
28:31
for all these movements. What we
28:33
saw the Soviets do in Western
28:36
Europe with like terrorist groups, IRA,
28:38
Red Army faction in the 60s
28:40
and 70s, Moscow
28:42
was doing with conservatives in
28:45
the 2000s and turning them into
28:47
a force. Then the final
28:50
part of it was buying the NRA with
28:53
Maria Butina. What
28:55
was it? Right to bear arms movement by-
28:57
That was a red-headed spy, wasn't it? Yes,
28:59
she was a FSB
29:02
officer. She was
29:04
arrested as what we called
29:06
an unregistered agent of a
29:08
foreign power. That's FBI talk
29:10
for a trained spy from
29:13
a foreign country. Her
29:15
job was to infiltrate the
29:17
Trump administration, which she did.
29:20
This woman was the first
29:22
person to ever, first foreigner
29:24
to ever ask Donald Trump
29:27
a question about Russia at
29:29
his inaugural campaign press
29:32
event in Las Vegas, two
29:34
years after he had already gone to
29:37
Moscow and was being pushed by the
29:39
Russians to
29:41
run for president. Malcolm, let
29:44
me ask you this question because
29:46
I keep asking different people this
29:48
question. I'm not getting satisfactory answers.
29:50
With all of these blatant
29:53
security failures between us and Russia,
29:56
where it seems like at will,
29:58
Russia and Russian- spies
30:01
are infiltrating and gaining
30:03
access, why don't
30:05
we have a better firewall
30:08
to prevent the
30:13
corruption of our
30:17
politicians from Russian influence?
30:20
You know, back in the oldie days, when
30:22
I was young and we were going up against the
30:24
KGB, my
30:27
job was not to be flipped
30:29
into an asset by the Russians, we
30:32
were getting constant security briefings about how they
30:34
did operations, how they would try to recruit
30:36
you. Things have sort of
30:38
changed. We don't view the FSB
30:41
as a malignant force. White
30:44
evangelical Trump supporters don't view
30:46
Russia as a malignant force
30:48
at all because Donald Trump's
30:51
personal love of Vladimir Putin,
30:54
it filters down into the cult. Whatever
30:57
Donald Trump says is correct. So
31:00
all of the Marjorie Taylor Greens and all the rest of them, you
31:02
want to be a Trump lover, you got to love Moscow. You
31:06
want to have Trump in your good graces,
31:08
you got to hate Ukraine because Ukraine got
31:12
Zelensky and Zelensky got Trump
31:14
impeached. Right, but
31:16
there's separation though between
31:18
Donald Trump and
31:20
our national security, right? He's no
31:22
longer the
31:25
chief executive of the country. You
31:28
would think, but here's where the
31:30
FBI is now. And
31:34
during the Mueller report and all that stuff, how come
31:36
these things weren't investigated? First,
31:38
Mueller was not allowed to
31:40
conduct any counterintelligence investigation
31:42
at Donald Trump or his staff,
31:45
it was mandated out. Also
31:48
counterintelligence tends to
31:50
not go towards an
31:52
effect that you can see. What
31:55
they prefer to do is what we call ABC, right?
31:57
Always be collected. You go in.
32:00
The you monitor whoever is an
32:02
asset or an unwitting. You
32:04
know, an unwitting ah
32:07
asset. And you're trying
32:09
to get be actual agent of
32:11
a foreign power. Or.
32:13
His communications and then read back where
32:15
this is originating from. so of March
32:18
retailer Green and I say this all
32:20
the time. People are all the F
32:22
B. I Trump was saying that the
32:24
F B I shouldn't have seven oh
32:27
two Power Authority to Monitor American Citizens.
32:29
Months. Only authority they
32:31
have is the authority to
32:33
get a warrant. And
32:36
the only way to go get a word. Is.
32:38
If your dog do a spot. Effects
32:40
if you're talking to. some have been logged
32:43
the sun. Was. Dead I think.
32:45
Ah Or and Sv are the
32:47
clandestine service of the Fsb, the
32:50
Russian Cia spies. right? If you
32:52
walk into one of them on
32:54
a phone apps in Moscow, we're
32:57
going to roll on you. Look
32:59
at all that's that's by talk for you
33:02
know when I was it intersects repressed mutton
33:04
globe. And it's got
33:06
a loads a point you and I'm
33:08
going to get up from my terminal
33:10
and I'm on a all the watch
33:12
officer at the National Cigarettes or National
33:14
Security Watch Operations Center. In an essay
33:16
almas they bring the down a job
33:18
of the homeboy alive one and then
33:20
I want to take my hands off
33:22
the terminal and lawyers and super spies
33:24
are going to come down and are
33:26
going to go. I.
33:28
Got an American citizen talking
33:30
to the Director of Russia's
33:32
Clandestine Service and sees offering
33:35
his services to Moscow. Well.
33:37
Now that's more your tongue. Med
33:39
of than f b I liaison it
33:41
an essay will come in there and
33:44
he'll go when you got a new
33:46
drugs. Are. Going out for coffee
33:48
does? I'm now now because it involves an
33:50
American citizen. I can have a do with
33:52
this lawyers and F B I officers and
33:54
that God will put the headphones on. right?
33:57
And story of you. Whatever and he will. Wrapped
34:00
up a complete Spicer
34:03
warrant request. Pursue.
34:05
Went to American citizen communicating with
34:07
a clandestine offs are offering to
34:09
become an asset of our foreign
34:12
intelligence agencies which happens all the
34:14
time. We just caught a Chinese
34:16
one. Hum. And.
34:18
Spice your go there and fight.
34:21
the court will go. Oh here's
34:23
why. The. Gates Rodham
34:26
all day long because.
34:28
To. Get caught. You. Know to
34:30
do that. Julian us on staff and
34:32
stuff Snowden says. You know why? Are
34:35
you going to be a terrorist? And we're
34:37
not doing this to Joe Blow because
34:39
one, I don't have time I have
34:41
to get coffee with it's I don't
34:43
require coffee time on idiots. So
34:45
it's a very high bar. I guess that
34:47
that has be met. In. In
34:50
order for certain security protocols
34:52
to click into gear. A
34:55
martyr retail agreeing can call Vladimir
34:57
Putin. Okay, and there's
34:59
protocol for that if it's deploy
35:01
as it's authorized. If she just
35:03
wants the a roll up and
35:05
in and call him. Well.
35:08
You know, There's procedures for this.
35:10
She may be notified. She may
35:12
not be notified. Her side of
35:14
the conversation may not be preserved.
35:16
There are lawyers and F B
35:18
I also do this because this
35:21
falls under the National Security Division
35:23
Of of Justice and it falls
35:25
under the Counter Intelligence Division of
35:27
the of B. Wish I want
35:29
to call attention to something when
35:31
slump found out that. You. Know
35:33
Jared Kushner had called the Russians
35:36
and ask for a private secure
35:38
demeaning to a since town which
35:40
today is. Pressing
35:43
buttons and ask? All right right?
35:46
get your hands down here. We
35:48
got a hot water or hi.
35:50
It's been. Years since the asking
35:52
to be a spot. They. Can't bear
35:54
way odd as it. But. To
35:56
ask of for are in power for
35:59
secure. A graphic system
36:01
to where you could not be intercepted
36:03
by an American intelligence agencies which is
36:05
the F B I The only ones
36:07
are allowed to do this with A
36:09
finds A warrant. A
36:11
first person Donald Trump went
36:13
after. Was. Cedar Struck
36:16
the Director of the Sp
36:18
Eyes counterintelligence the mission. This
36:21
top spy hunter in America.
36:24
Coincidence. Takes a lot of planning as I like
36:27
to set. In jail. It
36:29
that's crazy.that's that's a sign of
36:31
guilt. And
36:34
then saw I want a backup See
36:36
you just mentioned a few minutes ago.
36:38
Ah my read can a green I
36:40
wanna were I want to touch on.
36:44
My. Johnson or as well like the
36:46
com A Mega Mike Johnson who he
36:49
was at the center of that whole
36:51
Ukraine funding fiasco where you know it
36:53
seem like he finally did the right
36:56
thing for a change he finally allowed
36:58
or the Ukraine funding to or to
37:00
get voted on but now he's beholden
37:02
to democrats you know t in order
37:05
to get the funding package across the
37:07
finish line. Marjorie or
37:09
eyes as I call her
37:11
Moscow Marjorie are more. With.
37:15
Threatening to to unseat him
37:17
to vacate his as speakership?
37:19
Is that threat over what?
37:21
What's next in in in
37:23
this this game of cat
37:26
and mouse between us to.
37:29
Well. I think the threat is over because he can't
37:31
get enough members that would vote for them. Sick.
37:33
Of file. it should get it, it's already been
37:35
Second, it. Ah, but she won't execute.
37:38
Ah, And her whole complaint is is
37:40
that they violated the astor right which
37:42
is that. Conservative.
37:44
Legislation must only pass with conservatives.
37:47
It can not have any democrats
37:49
unless they are conserve is what
37:51
a ride or it can not
37:54
pass with democratic help. In the
37:56
purpose of that was to make
37:58
it so it was always your
38:01
you know. Your. Own radioactivity.
38:03
Three for Democrats right. To
38:05
have any help from the
38:07
democrats means you're a traitor
38:09
and a rhino. Rt. So.
38:13
I'm I think her her
38:15
shot a spent because the
38:17
people it's that's actually convinced
38:19
Mike. Johnson was
38:21
not the Director the Cia.
38:24
It. Was the fact that the
38:26
overwhelming majority of that sixty billion
38:29
dollars was gone straight into Defence
38:31
Industries. And here's where. Miss
38:34
Right which is fired and shoots down
38:36
air defense and and knocks down Russian
38:39
hypersonic ballistic missiles in the missiles that
38:41
were fired at Israel. Thirty eight billion
38:43
every way for Israel. Sixty.
38:45
Billion for Ukraine. They're
38:47
made in Arizona. Now.
38:51
It's not like that states not important in
38:53
the election is rigged. Very important. Very.
38:55
It's very important. That
38:58
is sweet spot to
39:00
pass infusion. Into the
39:02
State of Arizona. Into the top
39:04
defense manufacturer. Their. Artillery
39:07
shells A by the way. Those.
39:10
Patriot missiles which we have in
39:12
stock that are going to be
39:14
Ukrainians are the ones that are
39:16
not new though. The Old: Once
39:18
there's no green it, we're defeating
39:21
Russia's most advanced technology with missiles
39:23
that are ten or fifteen years
39:25
old. Right now I'm living
39:27
in a container and. Unless
39:30
you shoot is used them. They they're
39:32
not going to degrade, you can check on only can
39:34
do all sorts of stuff. going to stay relatively safe
39:36
like a bullet. Watched eventually
39:38
gonna have to destroy them once
39:40
new stock comes in and did
39:42
this him. What happens is is
39:45
that defense department has to hire
39:47
contractors to disassemble them and then
39:49
blow up The warheads are disassemble
39:51
the were at and that costs
39:53
to a billion dollars to replace
39:55
all these old artillery shells from
39:58
Vietnam. Gulf. War era artillery. shells,
40:00
whereas you just put them on
40:02
a pallet, put them on a ship, send them to
40:04
Ukraine, they're going to be shot within a week and
40:07
no expense to us except for shipping. But
40:10
those new Patriot pack three
40:12
improved missiles, which are state
40:14
of the art, are
40:17
going to the US Army in exchange for
40:19
the older missiles, which are still kicking Russia's
40:22
ass. See what you
40:24
just explained, Malcolm, is
40:27
perfect in terms of countering
40:30
the argument, oh, why are we
40:32
sending all this money over to
40:34
Ukraine? We should be spending
40:37
it here. But how
40:39
you just explained it, it's like, we're
40:41
spending the money to basically
40:43
upgrade our own shit. And
40:46
we're sending Ukraine our pan
40:48
me downs. The White House,
40:50
the president said this yesterday,
40:53
what you have just spent that
40:55
money on is a full scale
40:58
upgrade of the US Armed Forces, every
41:00
artillery shell that goes to Ukraine. Here's
41:03
where they're made or they've been made
41:05
or stored, Pennsylvania,
41:08
Ohio, Arkansas,
41:11
and Alabama. That's
41:13
where that hard rolled steel that's an
41:16
artillery shell is made, spray painted, built
41:18
in tag. We learned something
41:21
from Ukraine. Artillery is
41:23
back at being the queen of the battlefield, as they
41:25
call it, right? I've
41:27
been bombarded silly. The
41:30
Russians had a 10 to one advantage when we
41:32
did our counter offensive. And
41:35
now the Ukrainians are scrounging for shells,
41:37
the checks actually found a billion dollars
41:39
worth of artillery shells from all around
41:41
the world. But this war consumes them,
41:44
you know, 1000 per day or more.
41:47
And you've got to look, it's
41:50
an 1100 kilometer long battlefield. And
41:52
you got to be having that stuff hit the Russians
41:54
all day, all night, or they'll move forward. And
41:57
the Russians the same thing. What's
42:00
happening is we've learned you
42:02
don't want just rolled steel solid
42:04
steel artillery shells You want precision
42:06
shells now? So for every one
42:08
of those Vietnam era Gulf War
42:10
era shells that it's just solid
42:13
steel that have been sitting around
42:15
You know for in warehouses and
42:17
depots for 30 years You're
42:21
gonna get a new precision Munition
42:23
artillery shelter replace it so that when
42:26
the Russians come it's one artillery shell
42:28
You don't use 15 artillery shells to
42:30
suppress and kill one tank and kill
42:33
a few soldiers It'll be one shell
42:35
one tank and it will it
42:37
will arrive one meter away from you or on
42:39
top of you And it will kill you and
42:42
so we're upgrading ourselves with the
42:45
lessons learned from Ukraine Also
42:47
Ukrainians also need artillery gun
42:50
barrels because after you shoot five or ten
42:52
thousand around you got to take those barrels
42:54
out and replace That's
42:56
more valuable than shells Those barrels
42:58
are made in just three places
43:01
in the United States and
43:03
guess what we're giving them our warehouse
43:05
barrels We're upgrading the entire new US
43:08
Army Artillery system because guess what we
43:10
determined that it's better to be on
43:12
wheels where you can pop off three
43:14
rounds Shift your position two or three
43:17
miles pop off three more rounds because
43:19
the Ukrainians approved us You do not
43:21
sit in one spot if
43:23
you're gonna fight a big war with China or Russia They're
43:26
gonna get you and the Russians are learning
43:28
it because they don't move so they get
43:30
their asses kicked you you've never
43:32
as as Fox News ever approach
43:35
you to be to
43:38
be there bugga boo to be there You
43:42
know the problem is I cannot be on Fox
43:44
News because I would start off all my segments
43:46
with what is wrong with you But
43:51
they would bring me on just to attack me. Believe me.
43:54
I just I just wish I Honestly
43:56
wish you could be like the czar of
43:59
explain training military equipment
44:03
common sense to people because you
44:05
explained it perfectly. I was explainer in chief
44:08
at MSNBC, which is why I did a
44:10
lot of various things. And you
44:12
know, even though I was an intelligence guy, hey, now you
44:14
got an intelligence guy that's had five, 6000 rounds
44:17
of artillery, has been on the receiving
44:19
end. We had a three day stretch
44:21
where we had nonstop artillery. It
44:24
got so bad we started doing this thing we call
44:26
the A game. He
44:28
would count the number of shells, then you sing
44:30
a song and then you're just like it's
44:33
like 4748. That's
44:37
how much stuff is coming.
44:45
And as I explained to people, this is
44:47
not the Gulf war where we had total
44:49
dominance. This is not desert storm, which I
44:51
took part in and Iraq, which I took
44:53
part in, this is the
44:57
Ardennes forest 1944 when the fog
44:59
is in in the Battle of
45:01
the Bulge, where it's tank,
45:04
man, artillery mortar.
45:07
That's it. No air power and
45:09
drones are those little low flying Piper
45:11
club airplanes to do observation
45:13
with some direct attack. But
45:16
there's no air power. There's no air
45:18
to air battles or like World War Two. And
45:21
there is no air dominance by either
45:23
side in Russia. Russia
45:25
can't fly their planes there. They fly
45:27
some but oh, it's another school I
45:29
went to Stinger anti aircraft missile school.
45:32
And it's just like they've learned
45:35
that missile cannot be defeated. It
45:37
will kill you. So that's why
45:39
I explained things so good when you got a lot
45:41
of experience. For the past 30
45:43
years, care, heating and cooling put you first.
45:45
You are the reason they are open seven
45:48
days a week. You are why they make
45:50
it easy to schedule service at care, heating
45:52
and cooling.com. And for your safety
45:54
is why they check every gas furnace for
45:56
carbon monoxide. It's because of you that their
45:58
technicians are paid to fix your furnace. air
46:00
conditioner not sell you a new one. And
46:02
if you do need a new furnace, their
46:04
team will make sure you get exactly what
46:06
you need at a cost that fits your
46:08
budget. Care, heating and cooling is committed to
46:10
doing business right. Call them at 1-800-COOLING. When
46:12
you need a company, you can trust. Well,
46:15
I'm glad you made it back safely
46:17
here. I want to
46:20
switch gears on to a topic
46:22
that's related, but not
46:24
as closely related. Since
46:29
Mike Johnson escaped his
46:31
little danger with Marjorie
46:33
Taylor Greene, he has
46:35
recently zipped off to
46:37
New York City to
46:39
Columbia University to dip
46:41
his toe into the Israel-Gaza
46:44
protests there to denounce the
46:46
president of Columbia and pressure
46:48
her to step down. What
46:51
exactly is happening there?
46:53
Can you unpack that for my listeners? Yeah,
46:55
and this is where you're going to start getting your hate mail. First
47:00
off, let me full
47:02
disclosure, as we like to
47:04
say in the news. I spent
47:08
my first 17
47:13
years working Middle
47:15
East counter-terrorism, starting
47:17
in Lebanon working against what
47:19
would become
47:22
Hezbollah, the
47:24
Shia Amal militias, the
47:27
Palestinian diaspora, Popular Front for the Liberation of
47:29
Palestine, Al-Fattah in Lebanon, all these things. I
47:31
speak Levantine dialect Arabic, that's
47:36
the first dialect ever learned, which
47:38
is Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinian dialect.
47:42
I've been to the West Bank, I've spent
47:44
time in Israel, I just came back from
47:46
five, almost six weeks in Israel, been
47:52
around. That's my
47:54
first few
47:57
years there. I spent the better part
47:59
on it. and off working missions to
48:01
find 125 Western hostages in Lebanon. And it took
48:03
a long time. So
48:10
I know a little something about the Middle East.
48:13
I spent the better part of 40 years there,
48:16
lived in the Middle East, most
48:18
of my career lived there. And
48:21
just spent 10 years in the Gulf States, I was
48:24
in Abu Dhabi for 10 years. That
48:27
being said, I
48:29
spent my entire career defending
48:33
Muslims from bad
48:35
Muslims, right? From
48:38
terrorists. Working
48:40
with them, right? I
48:42
helped liberate Kuwait City from Saddam
48:45
Hussein. You know, I helped against
48:47
Al-Qaeda who was, Al-Qaeda
48:49
was trying to seize control
48:52
of Islam throughout Al-Qaeda in
48:54
the Arabian Peninsula, right?
48:56
And believe me, the biggest issue I had
48:58
when I lived in Abu Dhabi and I
49:00
was working with the Emiratis is they
49:03
did not like Palestinians.
49:06
And they thought between the Egyptian
49:08
Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
49:10
and the, you know, and the
49:12
Muslim Brotherhood backed groups like Palestinian
49:15
Islamic Jihad, they did not
49:17
want that infection in their countries. They
49:20
didn't. They thought Al-Qaeda could be managed,
49:22
right? ISIS can be managed.
49:24
You just kill them and they're gone. Whereas
49:28
the overwhelming majority of teachers
49:30
in, for example, in Dubai,
49:33
in the Arab schools were Palestinian. And
49:37
so during the first Gulf
49:39
War, before the first Gulf War, the
49:41
Kuwaitis had a
49:43
little problem. When Saddam
49:46
invaded Kuwait, the
49:48
Palestinians in Kuwait, over a hundred thousand
49:50
of them, had been secretly
49:53
working with Saddam and
49:55
helped them seize the country. At
49:57
the end of Desert Storm where I was there and I saw
49:59
the effects. of this. Kuwaiti
50:01
supported every Palestinian in
50:03
that country, because
50:05
it wasn't because they
50:08
couldn't trust them. It's just
50:10
that diaspora sided with their
50:12
immediate enemy. And so Bahrain,
50:15
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United
50:18
Arab Emirates, all maybe except
50:20
Oman. I've never seen a Palestinian in Oman.
50:22
I'm sure there's a few, but or
50:25
Yemen, right? They got their own issue. Those
50:28
diaspora, which are, I'm sorry, I'm gonna tell
50:30
you some things. The Palestinians are the most
50:32
intelligent and most
50:34
well educated of all the
50:36
people in the Muslim world,
50:39
which may be safe, except
50:41
Iran, but they're not Arabs,
50:43
right? They're Persians. Very
50:45
well educated. I think they have some crazy number like
50:47
90% educated.
50:49
When I say educated, I mean bachelor's degree. Wow.
50:52
Yeah, they're smart. They
50:55
could, had they decided to
50:57
do it, could have turned Gaza into
50:59
Singapore. And they would
51:01
be blitzing Israeli companies. They would have like,
51:03
the Turks would have come in there and
51:06
thrown boatloads of money in the Qataris. The
51:09
problem is that this issue,
51:12
which is not by the way, 75 years old,
51:14
I have people come to me all the time, they
51:16
go, Oh, you hate Arabs. It's like, wait, wait, I
51:19
listened to your show the other night,
51:21
the black man spy. I want to
51:23
say it was, it's 3000 years you
51:26
said, correct? 3000 years.
51:28
You know, the funny thing is, is that
51:30
when you go to Israel, and
51:33
I have people who are here, young
51:35
black kids, white kids, even
51:38
Arab Americans who go, Jews
51:40
all came from Europe. Well,
51:43
you got to go to Israel to see Israel
51:45
is a very brown country, very
51:47
brown. 80% of
51:50
the population are Arab
51:52
Jews. They're Mizrahi, which
51:54
means Israel. Yes, I interviewed a
51:57
woman who was born in Baghdad,
52:01
And they seized everything. One
52:03
day they were there, the next day
52:06
they were on a bus
52:08
to Damascus and trying to make their way
52:10
to Israel. The government
52:12
at the time seized every asset they
52:14
had. There was a
52:17
massive ethnic cleansing of Jews
52:19
from all across the Muslim
52:21
world. Historic fact documented.
52:23
One thing
52:26
I learned in Israel is when you go around
52:28
and you look at the archaeology, Hebrew
52:30
has been extant in its form that it
52:32
is today for almost 3,000 years. Jews
52:35
can read ancient manuscripts because it's
52:38
the same language. For
52:42
people to say this is 75 years, no it's
52:45
not. They speak the same language,
52:47
they practice the exact same religion, they are living
52:49
on the exact same land at the
52:51
same time. Same with the Christians, Christians
52:53
have been there since the time of Jesus
52:55
Christ, who was a Jewish rabbi. Christianity
53:00
didn't really form until after his death,
53:02
which was the philosophy of Jesus Christ.
53:05
The reason I mention this in the Torah, which
53:07
is the Old Testament, and Jesus' scripture,
53:10
which is the New Testament, are
53:12
all integral components of a book called the
53:14
Quran. In
53:16
the Quran, Jesus is the most powerful of
53:18
all prophets. He isn't God. He is the
53:21
most powerful of all prophets and will help
53:23
them see him. The
53:25
Messiah return on Judgment
53:27
Day and he
53:30
will return to establish
53:32
God's earthly caliphate. I
53:36
get people who get in my face and go, oh
53:38
you hate Islam, you hate Muslims, they're like,
53:41
oh no. I know a little
53:43
something about this because the prophet Muhammad, peace be
53:46
upon him, lived not
53:48
a city, a very small village
53:51
that was an economic center called
53:53
Mecca. And
53:55
one of the two indigenous families
53:57
in Mecca was a Jewish
53:59
family. Because in
54:02
610, Judaism had already
54:04
existed for 2,600 years. Christianity
54:10
was only 600 years old. And
54:13
when the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him,
54:16
this created Islam to become the seal of
54:18
the prophets. He was in
54:20
a city with Jews and Christians. And the
54:22
Prophet went and met the
54:25
Ethiopian Coptic Christians, which
54:27
sealed them within Islam as
54:30
a protected religion. Same with the
54:32
Judeans. He
54:34
went himself up the
54:36
trading trails up to
54:39
Aqaba and Madaba and
54:41
Petra to Jerusalem, which you
54:43
can walk that trip, okay?
54:46
On the camel tree, which is why he
54:48
knew Jerusalem so well. Why Doma
54:50
the Rock is there? Why he had
54:52
his night dream and traveled to God?
54:55
You know, it's a long... I've gone
54:57
out in the desert. There's
55:00
a lot to talk about when you're doing it on a
55:02
camel. I've ridden the camel in the desert. All
55:05
you're going to do is talk like we're talking right
55:07
now. Why I'm getting into this
55:09
little history lesson is... The
55:14
Palestinian-Israeli crisis right
55:16
now is focused on one thing
55:18
in my world. I come from
55:20
counterterrorism. On
55:22
6 October, there was no fighting between
55:25
Hamas and the Israelis.
55:28
The morning of 7 October, executing
55:31
a two-year-long plan,
55:34
Hamas stormed across that fence. And
55:37
I have been there. I have seen it. And
55:39
they killed every man, woman,
55:41
child, and very interestingly, every
55:44
dog, every family dog
55:47
that was over. They killed Christians.
55:49
They killed Muslims. They killed
55:51
Druze. They killed Coptics. They
55:53
killed Hindus. They killed
55:56
Filipina Catholics. They killed
55:58
a boatload of Buddhist... rice
56:00
workers from Thailand. And most
56:02
interestingly, they slaughtered a
56:05
family of 70 Bedouins that have
56:07
been there for centuries. Slaughtered
56:10
them. And you know what they said to
56:12
them when the when the Bedouins told me, they said, you're
56:14
no better than Jewish dogs because you're on this side of
56:16
the fence. They killed all
56:19
the Palestinian Muslims or Arab
56:21
Israelis, they call them. And
56:23
Arab Israeli is a Palestinian that
56:25
stayed in 1948 in
56:29
Israel. The people
56:31
that left in 1948 because
56:33
the Arab armies told them the leave Palestinian
56:37
diaspora that we see today.
56:40
So you cannot bring this story back to
56:42
75 years. The story
56:44
is now about and these
56:46
students are now advocating
56:48
not for and this is my problem with
56:50
it. I have saved a lot of
56:52
Muslims in my career. I
56:55
fired the machine gun at many of
56:57
my guys weddings. Okay, I
56:59
love my guys getting married and
57:01
you know, having kids and saying,
57:03
gee, I named my baby Malcolm,
57:06
or Malick after you, right? Because
57:09
Malcolm means Maleko, right? Nothing for
57:11
you. Malek
57:14
means king. So yeah, but
57:18
these people now started
57:22
out initially on the
57:24
afternoon of 10 seven, celebrating
57:26
the slaughter of
57:29
1200 people in a massive terrorist
57:31
attack. My terrorism wall will
57:33
not allow me to authorize that as
57:36
being a good thing. That's like celebrating
57:38
911. Right, right.
57:40
Then it went when the
57:42
Israelis did what the Israelis
57:44
do is Israel is an
57:46
overwhelming military power overwhelming. There
57:49
are people today that come up and
57:51
say Palestine is almost free. The Israelis
57:53
are defeated. And it's like you live
57:55
in an alternate reality. Either
57:58
Gaza is being leveled. Or
58:00
you're winning and you're about to get all of
58:02
Israel, which one is you can't do both. When
58:06
the Israelis came and carried out their military
58:08
war plan and it was a war. Okay.
58:12
This is war. This isn't
58:14
counter terrorism. It's not counterinsurgency
58:17
straight up in your face
58:19
warfare. And the reason it's so brutal in
58:21
God is the palette, the
58:24
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad put
58:26
a 30,000 man combat
58:28
force underground in
58:31
the middle of an urban area.
58:33
That is like, I want you to think
58:36
of the entirety of fully
58:38
occupied or occupied, but
58:40
fully inhabited Brooklyn. And
58:44
then fight every 100 meters
58:46
through every building in it
58:49
with a combat force. That's throwing ammunition
58:51
your way. And you're using air power.
58:54
You are going to devastate that
58:56
place. Every war is like this.
58:59
These people now have
59:01
shifted from, in my
59:04
opinion, supporting the
59:06
people of, of Daza and
59:08
the humanitarian needs that they
59:10
have, right? Food's
59:12
getting in 350 trucks a day. The
59:16
humanitarian corridors are open. The Egyptians
59:18
are bringing them in. But
59:22
it's not the 500 a day they were getting before, but that
59:24
500 a day was bringing in like a
59:26
hundred of concrete and pipes that were being
59:28
used to make rockets. Food
59:31
is getting in. It's there. There
59:33
is no starvation going on. They're selling US
59:35
MREs for $3 in the soup there. How
59:39
do I know? They show it on YouTube. Right.
59:43
Um, and they won't eat them. They're held out. What's an
59:45
M, what's an MRE? Oh, meals ready
59:47
to eat that we're dropping from the airplanes. They're held
59:50
out. We're funding them through
59:52
Jordan. The Jordanians are dropping them. They
59:54
got pop-tarts. Hello pop-tarts.
59:57
So the point here. Is
1:00:00
that? What? Started.
1:00:03
As. A The support
1:00:05
for the Palestinian people. Has
1:00:07
over the last six months transformed
1:00:10
into. The. Elimination of
1:00:12
Israel Movement. And.
1:00:15
So when people say to me from the
1:00:17
river to to see Palestine will be free.
1:00:20
That. Means. Enforcement our kids
1:00:22
don't know which river or woodsy. Know
1:00:25
what's your audience? The Jordan River which I
1:00:27
have been do and crossed over right on
1:00:29
the Allah Be bridge and I've been but
1:00:31
a dead sea on both sides and the
1:00:33
Mediterranean Sea which I spent years steaming into
1:00:35
right? I was just there. Were
1:00:37
the greats or schools? And tacos.
1:00:40
In Tel Aviv. I'm. This.
1:00:44
Is. The. Are going to put it.
1:00:47
This is what. These. Young
1:00:49
students are chanting for
1:00:52
his the destruction. Of
1:00:54
the State of Israel, It. Is
1:00:57
mindless. It. Sounds fine when
1:00:59
you're saying it. But. It's
1:01:01
almost the equivalent of a quiet
1:01:03
a will defeat you. Being.
1:01:06
On campus after Nine Eleven. Because.
1:01:09
What you're asking for is not
1:01:12
just the deaths of eight well
1:01:14
of six million Jews. Only
1:01:16
fifteen percent of that that you know
1:01:18
of whom. You know,
1:01:20
juice represent a very small minority in
1:01:23
this world. You also calling for the
1:01:25
death of the two million. Arab.
1:01:27
Israelis, The Palestinians who have been living
1:01:29
there since Nineteen Forty Eight. Also
1:01:32
more that thousand Ethiopians as I
1:01:34
get the eighty percent of jews
1:01:36
are brown their from Arab countries.
1:01:39
I had a hard time finding
1:01:41
white people. They're. Real. Money.
1:01:43
Money. as on a sudden for
1:01:45
a minute or so as I
1:01:48
understand our universities and I'm not
1:01:50
even talking about. ivy
1:01:53
league like out of my
1:01:55
dad columbia i'm saying in
1:01:57
general college right colleges his
1:01:59
ass place of higher
1:02:01
learning when you talking about
1:02:03
a university like.
1:02:06
Columbia that's like the upper echelon
1:02:09
that's where we send that's where
1:02:11
you send your kids when you
1:02:13
really want them to learn something
1:02:16
bigger and better and higher. Harvard
1:02:19
or harvard or gail prince and those those.
1:02:27
You know funny thing is i heard anything about princeton. So
1:02:31
here's here's what i'm getting at
1:02:33
right i'm not that smart as
1:02:35
far as. Is
1:02:38
the middle east is concerned
1:02:40
in all of its intricacies however
1:02:42
i have heard the phrase from
1:02:44
the river to the sea you
1:02:46
know and i've also heard that
1:02:49
it implies. A
1:02:51
genocide of the israeli people
1:02:53
so naturally i don't care
1:02:55
how you know cool anybody
1:02:57
thinks it sounds the
1:02:59
fact that. Israelis
1:03:02
or jewish people feel threatened
1:03:04
by that i would not
1:03:06
use that now we
1:03:09
know that kids in colleges
1:03:11
tend to be more sensitive
1:03:15
right about things that are offensive
1:03:17
to people you know they call.
1:03:20
Universities basically like woke
1:03:22
woke isn't centers right
1:03:24
so why would
1:03:27
they be employing this
1:03:29
language. And that's that's
1:03:31
question number one and question number
1:03:33
two. Are
1:03:36
these protests being
1:03:39
infiltrated by
1:03:42
weaponized people who are
1:03:44
intending to. Steer
1:03:47
a narrative in a
1:03:49
direction that potentially harms
1:03:51
left wing progressives. Okay,
1:03:56
you can just stop using the word progressive
1:03:58
for the extreme. left wing
1:04:00
that are part of the Free Palestine Movement.
1:04:02
I'm now speaking as a professional. Just
1:04:05
remove that, Chris. All right,
1:04:07
there are people who are there, who
1:04:10
are extremists for any cause
1:04:12
that comes up. And
1:04:14
people were referring to them as Antifa and
1:04:16
all that stuff. Do you remember in the
1:04:18
Portland riots, there were groups called the Black
1:04:20
Block? The Black
1:04:23
Block were those extremist guys who wear
1:04:25
the black mask and the Black Lives
1:04:27
Matter. Yeah, up the sidewalk. They're
1:04:31
hardcore chaos agents.
1:04:33
Left wing, right? You
1:04:36
know, mainly coming from the Democratic Socialists of
1:04:38
America and some of these more extremist links.
1:04:41
They, along with well-meaning
1:04:44
people who after, you
1:04:46
know, the day of 10-7 and day of 10-8,
1:04:49
the people who were celebrating were,
1:04:53
I'm sorry to say, part of
1:04:55
the Palestinian diaspora in the world,
1:04:57
and including the United States who
1:04:59
saw the attack on Israel as
1:05:02
an achievement for their people. Even
1:05:05
as we were going on air, I was
1:05:07
in Dubai the next day, right?
1:05:10
And doing news programs, you
1:05:12
know, BBC, London Broadcasting, and
1:05:14
going, whoa, whoa, this is
1:05:16
a mass murder, right?
1:05:19
Do you know what's coming? You
1:05:22
killed 1,200 Jews.
1:05:25
You're going to get the full might of
1:05:27
the Israeli armed forces. And let
1:05:30
me be honest with you, they have certainly
1:05:32
not even seen a fraction of what the
1:05:34
Israelis can do. Malcolm, here's my point. Here's
1:05:36
my point. One last one last point on
1:05:38
this. Yeah. Yeah. Joe, by the way, is
1:05:40
a nuclear power. So I don't know if
1:05:42
people understand that. Oh, yeah. The
1:05:45
people who have started
1:05:47
were the diaspora. Then came
1:05:50
the allies. Then came
1:05:52
the agitators. And I
1:05:54
think that by December, you start
1:05:56
seeing a transition definitely by January,
1:05:59
a wave. from the
1:06:01
lives of Palestinian children
1:06:06
from the river to the sea, you know,
1:06:08
resistance, when they had the big march down
1:06:10
here on Fifth Avenue, resistance
1:06:13
by all means necessary.
1:06:16
That's an open call for terrorism. All
1:06:18
means necessary is what happened on January 7th, on
1:06:21
October 7th, the slaughter of
1:06:23
every man, woman, child and dog
1:06:26
in Southern Israel, no matter what
1:06:28
their religious faith or confession was.
1:06:31
I think that this is going in a
1:06:33
bad way, and here's why. One,
1:06:36
the people of Columbia, which is right up the
1:06:38
road here, yesterday were
1:06:40
saying that outsiders were coming in
1:06:43
there. There are members
1:06:45
who are known to be affiliated with
1:06:47
Hamas. Some
1:06:49
of these people live in New York City. New York's a huge
1:06:51
city, so they have a big Arab
1:06:53
Muslim diaspora. Mm-hmm. And
1:06:56
they are supporting these movements, but
1:06:58
the schools have
1:07:00
been so slow to secure the campus,
1:07:04
all right, which is the gates, not letting
1:07:06
anybody in that doesn't have an ID card
1:07:08
that they've just been overwhelmed. Also,
1:07:10
there was organization for every
1:07:12
school in America to have
1:07:15
this protest yesterday and
1:07:17
to start occupying the campuses. Here's
1:07:20
where this is going to get bad. I
1:07:22
mean, again, 40 years in terrorism, right?
1:07:26
Someone is going to take
1:07:28
this to the next level, and
1:07:30
there will be an act of political
1:07:32
violence in the name
1:07:35
of the Palestinian people or Hamas or whatever.
1:07:38
And you're gonna see this whole movement
1:07:40
disappear overnight. It'll
1:07:42
be like, sorry, again, until
1:07:44
there is a direct impact on the
1:07:47
American people, there's a lot of tolerance
1:07:49
for what's going on. But
1:07:51
when you block the highway to JFK, people
1:07:55
are gonna get a little angry. But if
1:07:57
you carry out a terrorist attack, which is all
1:07:59
unconcerned. about with the safety of everybody.
1:08:02
You kill a Jewish student because
1:08:04
he's a Jew. You
1:08:06
attack someone or you blow
1:08:08
up a pipe bomb or set off a firecracker
1:08:10
that's too big. The entire
1:08:13
Joint Terrorism Task Force system of the
1:08:15
United States is going to sit up,
1:08:17
take notice, and that movement is
1:08:19
going to be horribly damaged. Here's
1:08:22
my point, Malcolm, right? Let's
1:08:25
go back four years, the summer
1:08:27
of 2020. And
1:08:30
I'm talking about the George, God
1:08:35
damn, what's the name of the guy with that? George
1:08:38
Floyd? Thank you. We
1:08:42
had the George Floyd
1:08:44
protests, right? And I'm
1:08:46
specifically using the word protest
1:08:49
because by
1:08:51
and large, the vast majority
1:08:53
of those protests
1:08:56
were peaceful. There were
1:08:58
people kneeling and praying
1:09:01
and playing music. And
1:09:03
they were peaceful. However,
1:09:07
we had some pockets of extreme violence where
1:09:13
we had people, and I would like
1:09:15
to, I'm saying
1:09:18
that these were people from probably those
1:09:20
groups that you mentioned. We're
1:09:25
in the black garb. And the
1:09:28
fact that their faces are concealed,
1:09:30
they're wearing masks, you can't really
1:09:32
even confirm who
1:09:34
they represent, right? Who
1:09:37
benefits from a peaceful
1:09:40
movement, being
1:09:42
hijacked and distorted
1:09:45
and perverted into something
1:09:47
gross and violent and
1:09:50
deadly even, destructive and deadly, who
1:09:52
benefits from that? The, you know,
1:09:54
it worked to
1:09:57
discredit. the
1:10:00
Black Lives Matter movement. Let
1:10:04
me tell you, I know exactly where you're
1:10:06
going. I will tell you who's not going
1:10:08
to do this, all right? You're not gonna
1:10:10
find any Jewish master hands coming from the
1:10:12
Rothschilds doing this. The group we
1:10:14
talked about, Black Block, has
1:10:17
swapped out their white
1:10:19
people, overwhelmingly white, have
1:10:22
swapped out their black mask and black
1:10:24
suits and their bags with monkey
1:10:26
wrenches and sledgehammers pulling up bricks
1:10:29
to wearing kufiyas around
1:10:31
their face now. I'm surprised
1:10:33
at how overwhelmingly, the
1:10:37
supporters and allies of this work,
1:10:40
actual organizers on the
1:10:42
ground, are the same
1:10:45
people who were involved in
1:10:48
not the African-American community that
1:10:50
was protesting George Floyd, but
1:10:52
the so-called allies who came
1:10:54
there and helped start the
1:10:56
riots. We know, yes, there
1:10:58
were white, right-wing
1:11:00
extremists who went around,
1:11:02
were smashing windows, and
1:11:05
were pretending to be
1:11:07
left-wing extremists, but
1:11:09
I'm talking about the people in
1:11:11
that famous video in Santa Monica,
1:11:13
were three women all
1:11:15
wearing black, one Asian, two white, were
1:11:18
spray painting black power on a Starbucks,
1:11:20
and a black woman confronts them and
1:11:22
goes, you don't speak for us, why
1:11:25
are you doing that? And she goes,
1:11:27
we're paralyzed. Well, guess where they are
1:11:29
now? They're jacking
1:11:33
or facilitating the edges
1:11:37
of the Free Palestine Movement. The
1:11:39
only problem is the Free Palestine
1:11:41
Movement likes their energy, likes their
1:11:44
enthusiasm, likes their ability to get
1:11:46
into the street with them and
1:11:49
validate them. And I
1:11:51
think that this is not necessarily a great thing.
1:11:55
Muslims should not be attacking Jews on
1:11:57
the street. Try
1:12:00
you know should not have to
1:12:02
feel uncomfortable anywhere the same way
1:12:05
after 9-11 Muslims were
1:12:07
defended. I defended them my
1:12:10
whole life. I've defended them Islamophobia,
1:12:12
I'll be the first one to smack it
1:12:14
down vice versa Same
1:12:17
thing for black same thing for Muslims same thing
1:12:19
for Hindus. I don't care who you are I
1:12:21
fought my entire life to defend your right
1:12:23
to say any stupid thing you want including
1:12:25
free free Palestine or or Hamas
1:12:28
is great or whatever now
1:12:30
that being said I am
1:12:32
explainer in chief here If
1:12:36
someone goes beyond what they're doing
1:12:38
I Want to point something out to
1:12:40
you? I've noticed that the
1:12:42
movement has glommed on to the
1:12:44
words of Malcolm X But
1:12:48
oh it's yeah any means necessary by any
1:12:50
means necessary. They use that all the time
1:12:52
I see signs all the time resistance, you
1:12:54
know resistance is is you know is a
1:12:56
priority or whatever it is and But
1:13:00
they don't use the words of Martin Luther King right,
1:13:03
right that they would use a Peaceful
1:13:06
means I mean you want to
1:13:08
be a powerful here's powerful get
1:13:11
into the middle of Fifth Avenue sit down don't say a
1:13:13
word Don't
1:13:15
say a word let your movement
1:13:18
speak for you right no I'm
1:13:21
getting in JFK and shutting down the Van
1:13:23
Wic Right is and
1:13:25
I put a tweet out for this and you're
1:13:27
gonna get that you're gonna get a lot of
1:13:29
hate mail over this where I said Your
1:13:32
movement is hated by Americans
1:13:34
hate it we just
1:13:37
haven't gotten to the point where your right
1:13:39
to free speech has become a wave
1:13:42
of Ranker to
1:13:45
where now law enforcement is
1:13:47
going to enforce the law But
1:13:50
Malcolm where where is this? Where is
1:13:52
the space? Right, where
1:13:54
is the space for people to
1:13:57
stand up and object to?
1:14:00
Netanyahu's blatant
1:14:04
targeting of civilian
1:14:07
populations in the
1:14:11
Palestinian areas, in Gaza. Where
1:14:14
is the space for that? For
1:14:16
people objecting to the killing of
1:14:18
10,000 children. Where
1:14:20
is that thing? Well, first off, I don't
1:14:22
want to have the numbers debate because
1:14:25
I want to point out... Because it can't be confirmed? No,
1:14:27
because in 2014 or 2015, the first Hamas-Israel
1:14:30
war occurred. And
1:14:36
at the end of 52 days, Hamas claimed 25,000 civilians
1:14:38
were killed. When
1:14:41
it was all over and done with, they sat down and they counted them all. 80% or
1:14:43
75% of the people killed were
1:14:45
men and combatants. And
1:14:50
it was regrettable. 500, 400 some odd children were killed, some
1:14:52
400, 500 women were killed. But
1:14:56
the numbers were completely off by an order
1:14:58
of magnitude. I've had
1:15:00
this discussion on television debates.
1:15:03
You know, if you're going to show me
1:15:05
30,000 killed... And
1:15:07
that's a number, by the way, which comes from
1:15:10
a terrorist group. It does not come from the
1:15:12
health ministry of Gaza. There is not. There
1:15:14
is the Hamas health ministry.
1:15:17
And it's been proven mathematically all they did
1:15:19
was multiply the number every day. But
1:15:22
civilians are dying. Civilians
1:15:25
are dying. Why can't we get an
1:15:27
accurate count? You
1:15:30
won't get an accurate count until this thing's over and done
1:15:32
with. Civilians are
1:15:34
dying because the entire Hamas infrastructure
1:15:36
was built to kill civilians. I
1:15:39
wrote a sub-stack about this called Hamas Needs
1:15:41
Dead Babies from both sides. And
1:15:44
that they put their infrastructure
1:15:47
next to schools, next to mosques,
1:15:49
into hospitals because they knew... Don't
1:15:52
believe me, Malcolm? What would you know about
1:15:54
it? I'm going to quote Ismail
1:15:56
Taniya. And he said,
1:15:58
we need the blood. of our
1:16:01
dead citizens in order
1:16:03
to stoke the revolutionary fervor,
1:16:06
right, of our fighters
1:16:08
to fight the Israelis. Isn't
1:16:12
there a way to get
1:16:14
at Hamas without, you
1:16:16
know what I mean? Use
1:16:19
a scalpel instead of a sledgehammer. Isn't
1:16:21
there a way to do that? Okay.
1:16:26
No. Okay. There's
1:16:29
no way. We did this in
1:16:31
Fallujah. In the second battle of
1:16:33
Fallujah in 2004, we removed 90% of the population
1:16:36
of the city of
1:16:41
Fallujah. And I've been in Fallujah. That is
1:16:43
a very low, it's not a city, it's
1:16:45
a town that's very low. Three stories, four
1:16:47
stories is the top. Gaza
1:16:50
is 25 miles separated only
1:16:53
by one little area called Wadi
1:16:55
Gaza. 25
1:16:57
miles by six miles of five
1:16:59
to 10 story concrete
1:17:02
block buildings, except
1:17:04
for the Bshati, right, the coast?
1:17:07
And the green belt that goes along the Israeli border.
1:17:10
It is a dense urban area. It
1:17:13
is Stalingrad in 1944. Hamas
1:17:16
chose that battleground. They
1:17:19
did what they did to bring the
1:17:21
Israelis in and they knew there would
1:17:23
be grievous casualties. The problem is the
1:17:26
Israelis went at it well,
1:17:29
two ways. One what we call a 100 meter war, 100 yards. That's
1:17:33
a football. Right? That's
1:17:36
how fat far the average gun
1:17:38
battle takes place. The
1:17:40
Israeli army had to eat through
1:17:42
Northern Gaza 100 meters at a
1:17:45
time. Now
1:17:47
when the Israelis are moving forward 100 meters, it's
1:17:49
not, okay, I walk 100 meters and
1:17:51
I take that place. It's 100
1:17:53
meters of contested battlefield where you're
1:17:56
being shot at with machine gun
1:17:58
bullets and RPGs and rockets
1:18:00
and motors. So the Israelis are
1:18:02
shooting back. So what's happening is 100 meters of
1:18:05
destruction at a time until
1:18:08
you eat all the way up from the
1:18:10
north, right, all the way down
1:18:15
to the south, right, and
1:18:18
that five, 10
1:18:20
miles is
1:18:22
destroyed. Hamas would
1:18:24
not let the civilians leave that area. The
1:18:27
Israeli airstrikes there were not indiscriminate, even
1:18:29
though people have used that word a
1:18:31
lot. Israel knows what they're aiming at.
1:18:34
Indiscriminate is like just flying over it,
1:18:37
not even looking and just letting them
1:18:39
all go. It's discriminant.
1:18:41
The problem is civilians
1:18:43
and their infrastructure were what
1:18:46
we call bomb sponges for
1:18:48
the Hamas tunnel system, that
1:18:51
those buildings would absorb the impacts before
1:18:53
they would get to the tunnels. Hamas's
1:18:57
strategy was
1:18:59
to use the civilians, not as human
1:19:01
shield, but as human sponges for Israeli
1:19:03
bombs. Why? Why came
1:19:06
in on ground? That's
1:19:08
where Hamas lost because you can't beat the
1:19:10
Israelis on the ground. You can't. So
1:19:13
why did Netanyahu help
1:19:16
to prop up Hamas
1:19:18
over the Palestinian Authority?
1:19:20
And here's where you're gonna get
1:19:23
an answer that quite surprised you.
1:19:25
You ask, where's the anti-Netanyahu space
1:19:27
that people can go to and
1:19:29
say, you know, where's my Twitter
1:19:31
timeline? Not a fan. I
1:19:33
hope to interview him, you know, John Spencer
1:19:35
interview him, I can interview him.
1:19:37
And it's going to be really,
1:19:39
you thought you could buy a
1:19:42
terrorist group because here's what here's
1:19:44
what Netanyahu did in 2005. He
1:19:47
was so he so hated
1:19:50
Yasser Arafat and
1:19:52
Fatah, his his military wing,
1:19:54
which became the Palestinian Authority
1:19:56
under the Oslo Accords, not
1:19:59
Netanyahu. himself, but you know at the
1:20:01
time it was Rabin who ate a bullet
1:20:05
for getting out of Gaza, for pulling
1:20:07
Jews out of Gaza and
1:20:09
de-settling Gaza. Rabin
1:20:11
was murdered by his own people
1:20:14
to give you an idea of how hot that place
1:20:16
is. When
1:20:18
Netanyahu came into
1:20:20
power, he thought, I
1:20:23
hate Arafat, so let's kill Arafat, let's
1:20:26
defang the Palestinian Authority,
1:20:29
and that somehow
1:20:32
by backing Hamas
1:20:35
that they would wipe out Fatah for them
1:20:38
in Gaza, which is what happened. They
1:20:41
literally slaughtered, like
1:20:43
I think it's almost a thousand members
1:20:45
of the Fatah police and military forces
1:20:47
and political body. When Hamas
1:20:49
took power, they summarily executed them
1:20:51
all. There's a great book called
1:20:53
Hamas vs. Fatah, which spells out
1:20:55
the slaughter. Netanyahu
1:20:58
let a terrorist group come in, but thought
1:21:00
that money and power
1:21:02
would temper them. He
1:21:05
allowed it's hard to give them
1:21:07
money, thinking Gulf State money and
1:21:09
power would temper them. He apparently
1:21:11
never read Hamas's Charter, which is
1:21:13
the utter slaughter of all Jews.
1:21:17
They are Al-Qaeda and ISIS
1:21:20
wrapped in a Palestinian
1:21:22
national flag. And I have
1:21:24
these terrorism experts, you know, I've written several
1:21:26
books on ISIS and Al-Qaeda, including
1:21:29
The Times bestseller, and I have you
1:21:31
guys going, they're not ISIS, no, they're
1:21:33
not Salafist, jihadist, who are
1:21:35
trying to call for an Islamic caliphate
1:21:37
to take over the world. Right now,
1:21:40
they are not Fatah. When I was
1:21:42
a baby spy back in the
1:21:44
80s, Fatah was a
1:21:46
socialist movement sponsored
1:21:49
by the Soviet Union and
1:21:51
other states, and they had
1:21:53
women without, you know, with
1:21:55
their hair exposed and running
1:21:57
around with guns. Now,
1:22:01
that was Palestinian
1:22:03
nationalism. That's what
1:22:05
Arafat was. That's what all
1:22:07
that terrorism was, was Palestinian nationalism. This
1:22:11
is Islamic fundamentalism
1:22:13
wrapped in the philosophy of the Muslim
1:22:16
Brotherhood, which has
1:22:18
a Palestinian flag wrapped
1:22:20
around the philosophy of
1:22:23
the utter destruction of all
1:22:25
Jews. So it's sort
1:22:27
of a hybrid Al-Qaeda,
1:22:29
ISIS, you know, philosophy.
1:22:33
But they're not very good at it.
1:22:36
Yes, they did invade Israel. Yes, Israel
1:22:38
was too arrogant and did to see
1:22:40
it. Yes, Netanyahu should resign from his
1:22:42
job for failing at
1:22:44
the one mission that he had, which was the protection
1:22:46
of the Israeli people. There are protests in Israel every
1:22:48
day. You wanna go to the art museum where the
1:22:51
families of the hostages are. You wanna see some things,
1:22:53
man. Those people go over to Ministry of Defense and
1:22:55
they get in the street and they throw down. And
1:22:58
Netanyahu sends cops after him. Guys,
1:23:00
he's popular only for one thing, is
1:23:02
that he is the current leader of
1:23:04
a coalition government. But politically,
1:23:08
no one is supporting
1:23:10
him to stay the prime minister. There is
1:23:12
no secret plan to get
1:23:14
every person out of Gaza. Impossible, right?
1:23:17
Now, if Donald Trump were president, he would
1:23:19
be pushing that plan. Ship them all
1:23:22
off to Egypt, let them all walk to the West Bank,
1:23:24
right? Take it over and Jared Kushner
1:23:27
will build resorts there. Because
1:23:29
it's really nice, by the way, really nice
1:23:31
beaches. That's
1:23:33
what they would do. But that's not
1:23:35
what's at play here. The average Israeli does
1:23:37
not want that. The average Israeli just wants
1:23:39
to be left alone and in peace. It's
1:23:42
as simple as that. But when you pop 10,000 rockets
1:23:46
into central Israel in every major city
1:23:48
in Israel, you are going to
1:23:50
get what the Israelis are good at, which is they have
1:23:52
prepared since 1948 to
1:23:55
have overwhelming firepower to
1:23:57
defeat any enemy. They
1:24:01
defeated the Egyptians, the Syrians, the Jordanians,
1:24:03
and the Saudis, and everybody else simultaneously
1:24:05
with one of the smaller armies of
1:24:08
the Middle East. So,
1:24:10
there is no military solution to
1:24:12
this for whoever wants to see
1:24:15
a free Palestine. They are going
1:24:17
to have to defang their terrorism,
1:24:19
stop the suicide bombings, stop the
1:24:21
rockets, sit down and
1:24:24
deal with Israel as an entity
1:24:26
that will never, ever go away.
1:24:29
It ain't going anywhere. And
1:24:31
that's why Israelis are working against the Iranians. The Iranians
1:24:34
want a nuke, okay,
1:24:36
and nuclear weapons
1:24:38
changes the entire dynamic. That's
1:24:40
not going to end well. Not?
1:24:43
Are you kidding? You should just
1:24:45
start thinking that there could be a Hiroshima
1:24:47
or Nagasaki in our lifetime if
1:24:49
Iran starts getting on the cusp of
1:24:51
developing a nuclear weapon. Which
1:24:54
we were, I think, headed
1:24:56
in the right direction away from
1:24:58
that when the United States was
1:25:01
part of that Iran
1:25:03
deal. Yeah, the problem with the Iranians,
1:25:06
not the Iranians, by the way. The
1:25:08
Iranian people are smart. They're intelligent. When
1:25:11
I lived in Abu Dhabi, I met lots of
1:25:13
Iranians. I know what the average Iranian wants. They
1:25:15
want a 2020 Ford Toyota Corolla. They
1:25:18
want prosperity for their family, their kids.
1:25:20
They want to be left in peace.
1:25:22
The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and
1:25:24
the Mullahs are an entirely different animal.
1:25:27
They, and this is
1:25:29
something that is also controversial, they are not
1:25:32
in a battle for control of Jerusalem. Yes,
1:25:34
they've surrounded Israel with hostile
1:25:36
entities on three sides,
1:25:38
Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, Yemenis,
1:25:40
and Hamas. The
1:25:43
real battle is for the control of Islam. There
1:25:46
is a 1,400 year
1:25:48
old battle between Shia
1:25:50
Islam and Sunni, and
1:25:53
the Saudis are terrified of the
1:25:55
Iranians getting a nuke. Saudis
1:25:58
will go to Pakistan. They'll offer to buy one. hundred
1:26:00
billion on the table. It gets to
1:26:02
that. I mean, so the inner
1:26:05
machinations, you see how we went from
1:26:07
children in Hama and in Gaza to
1:26:10
Iran deciding to flex its power and throw
1:26:12
351 missiles, cruise missiles and ballistic
1:26:16
missiles at Israel and Israel
1:26:18
and the only person they hurt was
1:26:21
a seven year old Muslim Bedouin
1:26:23
child who is now recovering. That's
1:26:26
not what Israel is. Let
1:26:28
me bring us back all the way back
1:26:30
to Columbia University.
1:26:32
How does how does he
1:26:35
how did these because it's not just Columbia
1:26:37
actually, I think it's it's Texas since as
1:26:39
you said it's all over. It's all over
1:26:41
the NYU. It's a Columbia. It's over, you
1:26:44
know, there was a big movement where they
1:26:46
all rushed the center of Harvard Yard. You
1:26:49
know, it's all fun and games. Um,
1:26:52
you know, I defend their right
1:26:54
to say any stupid thing they want protest.
1:26:58
What's the best? What's the
1:27:00
best way to deal with these
1:27:03
protests? Do we just let them continue? Do
1:27:05
they are they going to peter out on
1:27:07
their own? Um, no,
1:27:09
the schools have already been brought have
1:27:11
been warned that if
1:27:13
students any student cannot go
1:27:16
and study peacefully on campus,
1:27:18
then they have an unacceptable
1:27:21
situation. And the problem right
1:27:23
now, these protests are disruptive. And like
1:27:25
the person people at Columbia said, we're
1:27:27
part of that movement. They say it's
1:27:30
the outside agitators from,
1:27:32
you know, the diaspora and the black
1:27:34
thought guys who are ready to get
1:27:36
throw down and fight with the NYPD.
1:27:38
And it's going to get it's going to get
1:27:40
awful. And what's going to happen is you're going to have then
1:27:43
this is what I was saying earlier,
1:27:45
an American backlash to
1:27:47
where you will go
1:27:49
from where the you know, most
1:27:53
the majority of African Americans will support you to where
1:27:55
they hate you. You know, that flipped by
1:27:57
the way on one day, there was
1:27:59
a video. of Palestinians
1:28:01
that went to a black democratic
1:28:04
party, Christmas party,
1:28:06
and started fighting and
1:28:08
punching these little old ladies
1:28:10
in December. And overnight,
1:28:13
the video went what went what you
1:28:15
go? I missed it. I totally missed
1:28:17
it. The video went viral. And
1:28:20
instantly, it was like all blacks over the
1:28:22
age of 35 were like, we
1:28:24
don't support you. You
1:28:28
cannot make your
1:28:31
advocacy become violent. You
1:28:33
cannot throw it in people's faces.
1:28:36
They were pulling the Martin Luther King Edmund Pettus
1:28:39
bridge thing. They'd be fine. But that's
1:28:41
not what we're seeing. We're seeing a lot of hotheads. I
1:28:44
lived in that world. People can get
1:28:46
quite emotional. And then they
1:28:48
look at guys like me and they go, you're a
1:28:50
Zionist. You're a columnist. You're a genocide
1:28:52
lover. And it's like really,
1:28:55
really, I understand the
1:28:57
whole concept and premise of
1:29:00
protest is that you do have to
1:29:02
make heads turn. You have to you
1:29:04
do have to stop traffic. You do
1:29:06
have to make people sit up and
1:29:08
notice like some some shit is going
1:29:10
on. You're not going to draw attention
1:29:13
to your cause by sitting at home
1:29:15
quietly praying in your basement. You know,
1:29:17
you do have to make people uncomfortable
1:29:20
because otherwise, why isn't it let anyone going
1:29:23
to pay attention to you? But you shouldn't.
1:29:25
But you don't have the you don't have
1:29:27
the right to make people
1:29:29
feel unsafe. You don't have the
1:29:31
right to threaten people physically or
1:29:34
actually take actions against them physically.
1:29:36
You know, there has to be
1:29:38
a there's a fine line between
1:29:40
I support your
1:29:42
cause and what the
1:29:45
fuck are you doing? You know, in
1:29:48
my face, threatening me, punching me,
1:29:50
you know, right?
1:29:52
Right. Well, you know, and there's always
1:29:55
going to be that violent edge. And
1:29:58
we talked about who some of those people are. They
1:30:00
harness the emotions of a very,
1:30:03
you know, of people who are being
1:30:05
very emotional about deaths that they
1:30:07
see overseas. But you know,
1:30:09
we don't see Israeli, pro-Israeli marches
1:30:11
going out and, you know, throwing
1:30:13
bunches or saying, we will make
1:30:16
Arab students on this campus feel
1:30:18
unwelcome if they wear a kufia
1:30:20
around their neck, which by the
1:30:22
way, most of these people are
1:30:24
wearing it wrong. Okay.
1:30:27
I'm an old guy when
1:30:29
I, you know, I've lived
1:30:32
in the Muslim world most of my
1:30:34
life. If you're not some old guy
1:30:36
and wearing a suit and shuffling down
1:30:38
the street with a gutra echo, you
1:30:41
know, on your kufia, you're wearing it
1:30:43
militant style. You then what
1:30:45
is the purpose of that? You don't want your
1:30:47
face to be known. You're wrapping
1:30:50
it the way that fatah wrapped it
1:30:52
when they did terrorist attacks. What
1:30:54
is your symbology? If
1:30:57
it was a peaceful march
1:30:59
down Fifth Avenue, all
1:31:01
right, not calling for the genocide
1:31:03
of Jews, right? There
1:31:06
was one yesterday. We don't mean some
1:31:08
of it. We mean all of it.
1:31:12
You're talking about Israel. Yeah. Like,
1:31:15
you don't even know what you're talking about. Here's
1:31:18
what's never going to happen. Like
1:31:20
this, this 80 year old Iraqi
1:31:23
Jewish woman said to me,
1:31:26
you know, you're never getting
1:31:29
Israel. It exists.
1:31:32
You would have to kill 2 million
1:31:34
Palestinians that have lived there
1:31:36
and flourished forever who saved
1:31:38
lives on 10 seven.
1:31:40
The one guy really want to meet is
1:31:43
a pal is an Israeli Arab,
1:31:46
a Palestinian, who is an ambulance
1:31:48
driver who drove back and
1:31:50
forth into the Middle East battles
1:31:52
with a with a Moog and
1:31:54
David ambulance. Right. The
1:31:57
Israelis star and save the lives
1:31:59
of. of dozens of people.
1:32:01
Wow. And his wife was like,
1:32:03
why did you do it? And she goes, it's
1:32:06
my job. It's my country.
1:32:08
Yeah. That's what you should
1:32:11
aspire to be, is
1:32:13
people who live in peaceful coexistence.
1:32:15
I love Jerusalem when I'm there.
1:32:18
They wouldn't let me to the
1:32:20
Dome of the Rock this time. Because you have
1:32:23
to prove to them you're a Muslim. You have
1:32:25
to prove you're a good Muslim. But
1:32:29
you'll see it in one of my previous, one of
1:32:32
my next Black Man Spy episodes. I have a Jerusalem
1:32:34
episode, where the city is
1:32:36
divided into the four sectors, right?
1:32:39
The Muslim sector, the Jewish sector
1:32:42
quarter, they call them the Armenian quarter,
1:32:44
the Christian quarter. But
1:32:46
to walk in the path of Jesus Christ, you
1:32:49
have to enter through the Lion Gate, which
1:32:51
is in the Muslim sector, a Muslim quarter.
1:32:54
And to get to the first five of
1:32:56
the 13 or
1:32:58
many stations of the cross,
1:33:00
where Jesus literally walked with
1:33:02
a 300-pound cross on his
1:33:05
back, which, by
1:33:07
the way, is honored in Islam as
1:33:10
part of the Quran, you've
1:33:13
got to go through all three sectors
1:33:15
of that city. And you
1:33:18
can literally walk
1:33:21
where the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon
1:33:23
him, walk. You can literally walk where
1:33:25
Jesus Christ walked and preached. You can
1:33:28
walk where every
1:33:32
Talmudic scholar since King
1:33:35
Solomon has been. And
1:33:39
I got kids here in the United States
1:33:41
talking about, this is 75 years, and you
1:33:43
don't know anything about it. Well, in fact,
1:33:45
40 of that 75 years,
1:33:50
I've been involved with this in
1:33:53
keeping the peace, not
1:33:55
a colonist. Oh, by the way, you know
1:33:57
who the colonists were? The
1:33:59
G-O-L-E-T-E. Greece, when
1:34:03
they invaded or the Phoenicians or
1:34:05
the Romans, people don't
1:34:07
understand Judea and Samara
1:34:10
existed when the Romans took
1:34:12
it over and made a
1:34:14
Roman province out of it
1:34:16
in 79 AD, and
1:34:20
then wiped out the Jewish resistance
1:34:23
which was sort of like Hamas in 70,
1:34:25
no, no, 67
1:34:28
BC, 76 BC to
1:34:31
79 AD when the first Judean war started,
1:34:33
35 years or 30 some odd
1:34:36
years after Jesus Christ's death. That's
1:34:38
when they, the Romans changed the name to
1:34:40
Philistina. And I explained that,
1:34:42
I explained how the Romans stole
1:34:44
Greek mythology and Yaffa and the
1:34:47
place is old, right? There's
1:34:49
a monument to King Ramesses II
1:34:51
from the Zijous who escaped under
1:34:54
Moses. I'm
1:34:57
gonna have to rewatch your,
1:34:59
that episode of Black
1:35:01
Man Spy and I highly recommend,
1:35:03
I highly advise my
1:35:06
listeners here, check it out because
1:35:09
it's eye-opening. The stuff that I
1:35:11
learned just watching
1:35:13
one episode of Black Man Spy,
1:35:15
I have to rewatch that episode
1:35:17
and then watch the other one
1:35:20
and watch all of the ones
1:35:22
that you have coming out soon.
1:35:25
Before we bounce, I did
1:35:27
want to ask you about
1:35:30
the whole TikTok thing because that's
1:35:32
another area that you kind of
1:35:35
specialize in. So
1:35:37
the president recently signed a
1:35:39
bill that says that TikTok
1:35:41
has to sell, it has
1:35:44
to divest, I guess,
1:35:46
from China in order to continue
1:35:48
operating in the United States. I
1:35:50
personally, you know,
1:35:53
I don't see, personally, I don't see what the big
1:35:55
deal is. I don't have any, you
1:35:58
know, national security secrets. on
1:36:00
my phone and my TikTok.
1:36:02
It's collecting cobwebs anyway. What's
1:36:04
the big threat? Why is
1:36:07
everybody worried about China
1:36:09
and TikTok? There's a
1:36:11
new study. I want to say it's by Rand.
1:36:13
It came out two days ago. And it's about
1:36:15
the influence of TikTok. Go on Twitter and
1:36:17
just put in TikTok study. They
1:36:21
show that someone who
1:36:23
registers as an
1:36:25
American 13-year-old boy. That's
1:36:28
how they did this controlled experiment.
1:36:31
And they mapped everywhere that
1:36:33
the TikTok algorithm brought him, brought
1:36:36
this person, this imaginary person. It
1:36:39
started off with really benign
1:36:42
dog puppy TikToks and
1:36:44
funny stories. And
1:36:49
by the time it speciates,
1:36:51
right, it grows.
1:36:54
The algorithm figures out who
1:36:57
this person is, not what he
1:36:59
likes, but what it's going to
1:37:01
send to him. And
1:37:03
if you look at this chart, there's this little
1:37:05
blue burb there of all these little boxes of
1:37:07
the nice sites that it sends them. And then
1:37:12
85% of that chart, it takes
1:37:14
them to war videos, anti-government
1:37:17
videos. This
1:37:21
is interesting. Holy shit. Pro-Israel
1:37:23
videos, naturally, that you would
1:37:25
stumble across are less than 12%, but
1:37:28
it's like 86% pro-Palestine
1:37:31
anti-Israeli things. The algorithm
1:37:34
was built with
1:37:36
the purpose of collecting, one, billions
1:37:38
of bytes of data of
1:37:41
personal, how
1:37:44
can I put it, of personal profiles
1:37:47
of Westerners. Two,
1:37:50
it feeds in there what
1:37:52
the government of China and
1:37:55
its intelligence agencies want to
1:37:57
do to undermine democracy. And
1:38:00
and he just bring him up and
1:38:02
pushes Trump, left it right. You
1:38:04
know, like an elephant. But here's the
1:38:06
best part. When
1:38:09
there was, here's a little thought experiment
1:38:11
for you. One day I woke up, I have
1:38:13
two TikTok videos up on my TikToks. And
1:38:16
one of them is me going, that
1:38:18
57% of kids under the age of 34 said
1:38:24
that 10-7 was justified
1:38:27
by Hamas. And
1:38:29
I was like, whoa. And I did
1:38:31
a TikTok going, this is like you
1:38:33
supporting Al-Qaeda after 9-11. Yeah.
1:38:36
Then this thing popped up on
1:38:38
TikTok called Letters to America. And
1:38:41
this good looking African-American, all her
1:38:43
makeup, all those, I
1:38:45
don't know if you've seen this, but they've
1:38:48
been keeping this from us. And, you know,
1:38:50
I didn't know this was, she says it's
1:38:52
created an existential crisis in me about what
1:38:54
this, where I am and where I am
1:38:57
in life. And it
1:38:59
watches it. And it's all about Osama
1:39:01
bin Laden's Letter to America, justifying the
1:39:03
mass murder of 3,000 Americans on 9-11.
1:39:07
And within days, there were
1:39:10
thousands of these videos
1:39:12
of people extolling
1:39:15
the virtues of Al-Qaeda.
1:39:18
And, you know, in support of
1:39:20
free Palestine and saying America deserved
1:39:22
what it got on 9-11. I
1:39:26
did a TikTok video that started like this.
1:39:28
Are you out of your minds? See,
1:39:30
right? After
1:39:32
it really went viral and got mentioned
1:39:34
in Congress, the Chinese pulled it all
1:39:37
down. And one day, every
1:39:39
video disappeared because they said we
1:39:41
do not support terrorism, blah, blah,
1:39:43
blah. Wow. The point is they infected
1:39:45
us. It is a
1:39:47
virus deployment system,
1:39:50
almost as bad as the Wuhan
1:39:52
virus, it's COVID. But
1:39:56
the purpose of it is to hack
1:39:58
your mind with whatever the... the central
1:40:00
Communist Party of China wants. It's a
1:40:02
weapon system. So will
1:40:04
the sale of TikTok, excuse
1:40:07
me, to let's say an
1:40:09
American investor or American billionaire or
1:40:12
whatever, will the sale of that
1:40:14
company end
1:40:16
the threat or does TikTok have to
1:40:18
be completely ripped down and decoded
1:40:21
or whatever? China
1:40:24
has already said they will not let us
1:40:26
know what the algorithm is. Now you can
1:40:28
identify the algorithm. What really needs to happen
1:40:31
is good old capitalism, right? Which is the
1:40:33
Chinese are now capitalists, which
1:40:35
is create an alternate to TikTok, but
1:40:37
make sure it has moderation in it,
1:40:39
right? Controls. You know, we have laws
1:40:42
on what can be said on television
1:40:44
and in newspapers, right? Right. Oh,
1:40:47
well, we can throw in some
1:40:49
strict controls about your algorithm cannot
1:40:51
force someone to hunt for thick
1:40:53
or to see things which they
1:40:56
did not themselves hunt for, right?
1:40:59
Like sending you, I mean, look at Elon
1:41:02
Musk had
1:41:04
Dom Luecker, some crazy guy, black
1:41:06
guy, on Twitter who posted child
1:41:08
pornography. Look, because he's a friend
1:41:10
of Elon Musk, all they did was took it down
1:41:13
and didn't ban him, right?
1:41:15
Twitter's just as bad. Twitter's
1:41:17
a right wing extremist weapon
1:41:19
system that's working
1:41:21
against democracy. But
1:41:24
we're used to letting free speech fly, right?
1:41:26
Our freak flag fly for free speech. But
1:41:30
TikTok is in order. I've seen it
1:41:32
now in action. It
1:41:35
is people
1:41:37
justifying 9-11, tens of
1:41:39
thousands of American kids going, well, you
1:41:41
lied to us. Bin Laden was right.
1:41:45
Bin Laden was right. All
1:41:48
right. That's a weapon. It's
1:41:51
a propaganda cruise missile into the mind
1:41:53
of every one of our children. And
1:41:56
we need to moderate what our children watch
1:41:58
anyway. We're awful at that. Malcolm
1:42:01
Nance, I
1:42:04
don't think I know anybody
1:42:06
as learned, as
1:42:08
smart in so many different areas
1:42:10
as you. I can't... Elie
1:42:13
Vistell. What's that? No,
1:42:15
Michael Harriet and Elie Vistell.
1:42:18
Those are two smart brothers.
1:42:22
I know, but I don't know them. I know
1:42:24
you. I know you. Michael
1:42:26
Harriet is amazing. Thank
1:42:29
you so much for sharing your knowledge with
1:42:31
me and with my listeners. I
1:42:33
want to strongly
1:42:35
recommend folks
1:42:38
you check out Black Man Spy.
1:42:40
It's on YouTube. You
1:42:42
can just type in Malcolm Nance or Black
1:42:45
Man Spy. Sir, what
1:42:48
else can people find your knowledge and your...
1:42:53
Yeah. Since I'm not
1:42:55
on MSNBC much anymore, my
1:42:58
big works, my real analysis
1:43:00
is being done on MalcolmNance.substack.com.
1:43:04
That's where I put out my long form things.
1:43:06
Most of the articles are free. There's
1:43:11
some very detailed analysis. You can go back
1:43:13
a year and a half and see how...
1:43:16
Unfortunately, I'm right a lot. You
1:43:19
are. I don't know why.
1:43:23
The world is an easy place to interpret. I'm
1:43:26
rarely wrong and that's what's horrible
1:43:28
about my line of business and
1:43:30
counterterrorism. You
1:43:33
are going to get some flack for having
1:43:35
me on board, but I defend
1:43:37
your right to disagree with me
1:43:39
and so long as it's done in
1:43:41
the spirit of debate. I
1:43:43
thought it was a great conversation. I look
1:43:45
forward to another one if you'll join
1:43:48
me on the show again. Sure. Thank
1:43:50
you again, Malcolm. All right. That's
1:43:55
all the time we have today for MalcolmNance. I
1:43:58
want to leave you with something before we... go. In
1:44:01
the spirited debates across college
1:44:04
campuses like Columbia, USC, University
1:44:06
of Texas, and Cal Berkeley, students
1:44:09
champion the plight of Palestinians with
1:44:12
a passion that speaks to their
1:44:14
deep commitment to global justice. While
1:44:17
their advocacy underscores a commendable empathy
1:44:19
for the suffering of others, there
1:44:22
is an underlying concern about the
1:44:24
influences shaping these movements. It's
1:44:27
crucial to scrutinize the motives of
1:44:29
organizations behind the scenes, ensuring
1:44:32
these student movements remain
1:44:34
grounded in safety and
1:44:36
constructive dialogue rather than
1:44:38
veering into potentially divisive
1:44:40
territories where we're calling for
1:44:42
the elimination of the Jewish state or
1:44:45
giving support to Hamas. There
1:44:47
is no romance in terrorism. Hamas
1:44:50
is not SDS. This
1:44:52
is not 1968. These students are in the midst of
1:44:56
a highly nuanced and delicate global
1:44:58
issue that has raged for decades.
1:45:00
While it's okay to feel angry
1:45:02
about the indiscriminate bombing of babies
1:45:04
and the killing of tens of
1:45:06
thousands of civilians, we must
1:45:09
not call for the spilling of Jewish
1:45:11
blood in return. The world
1:45:13
has seen far too much of that
1:45:15
already on both sides. Let
1:45:17
us ask for peace, for a
1:45:19
ceasefire, and for the establishment
1:45:21
of Palestinian statehood as
1:45:24
part of a two-state solution. Thanks
1:45:26
for listening. Stay defiant.
