Ep. 2039 - Execute Hostages, Win A Prize From Biden-Harris!
59:35 Share

Folks, in just a second, I want to talk about the nature of true evil and the West's unwillingness to confront and realize that that evil exists in the first place. First, I just want to remind you, in 10 days, our first ever theatrical release, Am I Racist? hits theaters nationwide. Matt Walsh infiltrated the left's DEI circus. It's more crazy and absurd than you can possibly imagine. It might make you think. It will definitely make you laugh. Go to miracist.com for tickets and showtimes right now. Okay, so over the weekend, absolutely horrifying news.

Six Israeli hostages, including one Israeli-American, whose parents spoke at the DNC. You recall them, the parents, the Goldberg-Poland parents,

They spoke at the DNC about how their son was being held hostage by Hamas in terror tunnels. There's 100 hostages, many of them already dead, who are being held by Hamas. But over the weekend, Israel found the bodies of six hostages, Hirsch Goldberg-Poland, Aidan Yerushalmi, Ori Danino, Alex Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Almog Sarusi.

I know the parents of at least one of these hostages met the mother of Ori Danino here in Florida not all that long ago. She obviously had been praying for the safe return of her son. It's not just that the bodies of the hostages were found. It's how they were found. So you'll recall that last week Israel freed a Bedouin Muslim Israeli citizen who was found in one of the terror tunnels. Well, at about that time, apparently,

Hamas terrorists shot to death those six hostages. They'd been held in captivity since October 7th. So over 300 days they were held in darkness, in captivity, in conditions of torture. And then they were shot point blank in the back of the head. According to the Times of Israel, the six dead hostages recovered from the Gaza Strip over the weekend were killed 48 to 72 hours before their autopsy, meaning between Thursday and Friday morning.

Apparently, they were all shot multiple times from close range, indicating that they were in fact executed. So the absolute horror of that, keeping these six hostages alive for over 300 days and then shooting them point blank in the back of the head, which is precisely what happened, underscores how deeply evil Hamas is. And it's easy to forget that because October 7th was almost a year ago. And so everyone was shocked by the murderous,

rape-filled rampage that Hamas went on on October 7th, the taking of hostages, including babies who are still being held hostage right now. And then the entire situation turned into war because the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, went into Gaza.

in order to dismantle Hamas, in order to destroy their infrastructure, in order to take over the Philadelphia corridor, which is the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, in order to take over the Natarim corridor, which runs across the middle of the Gaza Strip and establish military control. And a lot of the talk turned to how Israel was prosecuting the war. Could they do it faster? Could they do it quickly? Could they do it with more humanitarian aid and all the rest of that? And that's been the discussion basically since October 15th or so. But everyone's

Everybody forgot. Everybody went to sleep on just how evil Hamas is. And that was the big reminder. The big reminder is that these are human monsters who are willing to hold hostages for over 300 days and then shoot them point blank in the head to prevent them from being liberated. Because that's presumably what happened here. The IDF got close and they decided that they were going to just murder these hostages, these innocent people point blank. That's what actually happened here.

The IDF said it did not have the exact location of the hostages, but had indications of a general area where the six could be held and was operating carefully in the area.

According to Daniel Hagari, who is the spokesperson for the IDF, troops began to search a tunnel complex some 20 meters underground on Saturday and found the hostages dead in the afternoon. Their bodies were extracted from Gaza overnight and brought to Israel for identification. Hamas itself has said that they effectively shot these people because the IDF was getting near. Now, that is not a change in policy for Hamas. Hostages who have been freed in earlier hostage deals

They've said that they were told by their Hamas captors that if the IDF got close, they would be executed point blank by Hamas. And this is what Hamas does. This is why Yahya Sinwar, who's the head of Hamas, who is hiding underground right now, he apparently has surrounded himself, according to reports, by upward of 20 hostages, presumably including women and children, hoping that Israel will leave him alone because otherwise he's going to threaten to shoot the women and shoot the children.

The spokesman for the military wing of Hamas had said that following Israel's successful hostage rescue in Nuserat in June, new protocols were given to terrorists guarding the abductees if Israeli troops were approaching them. But that's not actually new. We knew that from a long time ago that they had said that they were going to shoot hostages if the Israelis got close. Then Hamas, just to add insult to injury, decided that they were going to release hostage videos, like the last videos of the various hostages

And they're heartbreaking. I don't want to play them here because frankly, it's doing the work of Hamas. There's been contemporaneous documentation found in the terror tunnels that in which Hamas explains what they're attempting to do. Their attempt is to be so brutal and so vicious and so evil that it creates serious political schisms within Israeli society.

Benjamin Netanyahu obviously was facing, the prime minister of Israel, a lot of political schisms well before October 7th. You remember, massive protests in the streets over judicial reform, which was a debate effectively about how to appoint the judiciary and what the powers of the judiciary would be. You had hundreds of thousands of people in the streets who are angry at Netanyahu, not just because of judicial reform, but because they don't like the current coalition government in Israel, the elected government of the state of Israel. And that's normal democracy in action. People going to the streets and protesting. I may disagree with them.

It doesn't matter. That's kind of normal stuff. It is. I mean, we have that in the United States too. We have lots of protests in the United States. You have it in every westernized country. However, since October 7th, there's been an extraordinary degree of unity in Israel. What Hamas is attempting to do right now is murder hostages in the most brutal possible way in order to generate outrage at Netanyahu's government. Okay,

We'll get to more on this topic in a moment. First, did you know there's nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to be spent? That is correct. There's a massive stockpile of cash. The lame duck administration is going to push hard to spend in their last few months to artificially inflate the economy. If Biden is able to push those funds out, we could see another inflation surge, just like during COVID. I'm sure you remember the terrible effects high prices had.

But

you need to text Ben to 989898 to claim your eligibility before September 30th. Don't wait for the president's spending spree to tank the dollar again. Protect your financial future with gold. Text Ben to 989898. Claim your eligibility. Make your purchase before September 30th. Again, don't wait for another spending spree to create inflation. Instead, text Ben to 989898. Claim your eligibility. Make your purchase before September 30th.

Now, you understand why people in Israel, particularly in the areas that don't like Netanyahu, they're just looking for an outlet for their rage and their anger, because who wouldn't be if Americans were being held en masse hostage by a foreign country and then those Americans were being murdered systematically? Then presumably there would be shock and outrage among the American public, too. You get large scale protests, you would imagine, against the sitting government. You understand that even though there's not really a good political rationale for it, meaning

Meaning it's not clear what these protesters want the Israeli government to do. They just want Israel to surrender to Yahya Sinwar and Hamas. Because Hamas's demands right now involve the complete surrender of Israel in the Gaza Strip in order to presumably preserve the lives of some of these hostages. And we don't even know how many of them are left because the disgusting international Red Cross has not even gone in and done its basic duty in ascertaining how many of these hostages are alive or providing them humanitarian care. They don't care about any of that. So what does that mean?

That means that they want Israel to abandon the so-called Philadelphia Corridor, which is the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. That was just honeycombed with terror tunnels through which enormous quantities of weaponry and machinery and, yes, terrorists were smuggled through from Egypt to Gaza and vice versa. Israel has taken over the Philadelphia Corridor, that border.

They've also taken over, as I say, the Natarim Corridor, which is about halfway through the Gaza Strip, in order to establish military control. Sinwar wants Israel to not only pull all military facilities out of the Gaza Strip, leaving him in charge, he also wants Israel to release hundreds of murderous terrorists, including

A whole new leadership cast for Hamas. So in order to obtain these hostages, he wants Israel to surrender. No country worth its salt can do that. That is not something that any country can actually do. Because if the idea is that when bad guys take your citizens hostage, you just surrender to them, you're not going to have a country for very long. They can always just take hostages and hold them for the next concession.

This is a point that Netanyahu made over the weekend. So when this was first announced, he pointed out that the entire world has decided, and this is where this matters to the West, because why isn't this like a local regional issue? Obviously, there's been a very longstanding conflict. It's not going away anytime soon. Why is this of interest? This is of interest because on one side, you have a free democracy that is allied with the West. And on the other side, you have legitimately the world's worst terror group.

And somehow the West has found a unique way to decide that that terror group deserves compassion, deserves concession, deserves some level of recognition and decency. When in reality, every member of Hamas up to and including the leadership deserves nothing but death because that is what they have brought upon themselves through their violation of basic human norms and standards of just basic human decency. The worst people on earth are Hamas, the worst people.

They make ISIS look like a picnic. That's who these folks are. And this notion from the West that Israel, therefore, is the one that needs to be pressed to make concessions to the terrorists is totally insane and speaks to an ulterior political motive on the part of Americans and Brits who are pushing this sort of nonsense. The reality is the only way to win a war is to actually win the war

The reason that the West has not won a war since World War II is because it has forgotten that basic notion that the way to win a war is to win a war. If you look at the entire history of Western military conflict, when the West wins, it's not because there is some sort of peace agreement that is signed. It's because its enemies are utterly defeated. When its enemies are utterly defeated, then the West wins. And there is a long period of peace. And when that doesn't happen, then conflict tends to break out very quickly thereafter. You cannot leave Hamas in place.

But the fact that the West is even considering leaving Hamas in place or creating a quote unquote Palestinian state, which would immediately be run and staffed by the very same people who are currently holding hostages and their best friends in the Palestinian Authority. Islamic Jihad is totally insane. Here's Netanyahu making the perfectly obvious point that when you shoot hostages point blank in the back of the head, it's a pretty good indicator not looking for a ceasefire deal.

Hamas is continuing to steadfastly refuse all proposals. Even worse, at the exact same time, it murdered six of our hostages. Whoever murders hostages does not want a deal. For our part, we will not relent. The government of Israel is committed, and I am personally committed, to continue striving towards a deal that will return all of our hostages and ensure our security and our existence.

Now, the way that the left operates internationally is the idea that there is a moral relativism between places like Israel and Hamas, or for that matter, between America and ISIS or America and Al Qaeda, that all of these people have their grievances. And because they have their grievances, really those grievances can be alleviated by a kinder, gentler West. The concessions are what make the world go around. The diplomacy is the answer rather than, you know, killing people who take women and children hostages and then shoot them point blank.

This is insanity. It's crazy. But that sort of pressure is extraordinarily high because, again, it's an easier way of life to believe that everybody is good. Everybody is not good. Human beings all have the capacity for good and evil. It's a basic biblical teaching. All human beings have a capacity for good, and they also have a capacity for evil. This is something the Founding Fathers well understood. In Federalist 51, James Madison talks about the idea that men are not angels and men are not devils. We're somewhere in between.

What that means is that some people cultivate the devil within to such an extent that they are able to do things like holding innocent civilians hostage in terror tunnels for 300 days and then murdering them instead of allowing them to be liberated in order to establish an Islamic caliphate in the Gaza Strip. And then hopefully they think over Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.

So Netanyahu, there's a lot of domestic pressure on him again. A lot of what's going on right now in the streets of Israel has very little to do, really, with the hostages because there's no deal to be made with a group of people who want to murder every Jew possible. What it really has to do with is just a pent-up anger at Netanyahu's government. There may be good reasons for that. There may be bad reasons for that. But the idea that there's any sort of deal to be made and that really what happened with the hostages is somehow on Netanyahu in some way

is a is an insane is it's an insane proposition on its face. So Prime Minister Netanyahu has a lot of domestic pressure on him right now. A lot of that is being actually created by the Biden administration and by Joe Biden, who's been sleeping on a beach. But not all of us have the ability to just go to sleep on a beach somewhere. We actually need a good mattress. Let me tell you a story. A couple of years back, I was tossing and turning all night, probably from the stress of

of, you know, living with Democrats. My wife would joke that I was having debates with imaginary libs in my sleep. Then we decided to try that Helix mattress. I'm gonna tell you, it's been an absolute game changer. Here's what's great about Helix. They have 20 different mattresses. 20. It's like the electoral college of sleep. There's something for everyone. They've got the Lux for you fancy types and the Elite for the extra fancy and even the Helix Plus for the bigger folks. You know, the strong masculine men that the left hates. Now, you might be thinking, Ben, how do I know which one is right for me? Simple. You take that Helix sleep quiz. It's quick. It's easy. It takes less than two minutes. I took

I took that quiz myself. It matched me with the medium firm mattress, which is perfect for me because I sleep on my back. Here's another great thing about Helix. They ship your personalized mattress right to your door free of charge. No dealing with mattress salesmen who are about as trustworthy as mainstream media fact checkers. Get this? They give you 100 nights to try it out. Plus, there's a 10 to 15 year warranty, which is longer than most Hollywood marriages.

In fact, nearly all of them. So if you want to sleep as soundly as I do, head on over to helixsleep.com slash Ben. Take that sleep quiz. Plus, with Helix offering up to 25% off all mattress orders plus two free pillows for our listeners, it'll be the best decision you've made since voting for Donald Trump. Just go to helixsleep.com slash Ben. That's helixsleep.com slash Ben with Helix. Better sleep starts right now.

Even more insane is the proposition that if Netanyahu replaced, suddenly the conflict would end and everything would be hunky dory. That, of course, is ridiculous as well. In any case, Netanyahu gave a pretty amazing speech yesterday in which he laid out specifically why he is not caving, why he is not conceding, why he is not going to simply give up the Philadelphia corridor because Hamas demands it.

The axis of evil needs the Philadelphia corridor. And for that reason, we must control the Philadelphia corridor. Hamas insists for that reason that we not be there. And for that reason, I insist that we be there. Now, the narrative that you are hearing in the media today, because the media is a left-wing tool, the narrative you're hearing from the Biden-Harris administration, both Biden and Harris, the narrative you're hearing is that Netanyahu hasn't made enough concessions. To whom?

To Hamas, the people who just murdered an American. Joe Biden was sleeping it off in Rehoboth Beach, but Hamas was murdering an American. He doesn't care. He says he met with the hostage families. Really, what has he done? What has he actually done? There are things that the United States could have done to bring pressure on Hamas. Joe Biden has done virtually none of them.

But it really begins, again, it begins and ends with this leftist narrative that there is some sort of moral equivalence or parity in all human relations, which means that when someone is evil, the more, if you believe in moral relativism, if you believe that it's just a matter of perspective, then what that means is that the more evil you are, the more there must be a justification to your evil because otherwise you wouldn't be evil. If you are a moral relativist, the way that the left is when it comes to these matters, then your belief is the more evilly you behave, the more you have been victimized.

The victim, victimizer matrix is undefeated in terms of stupidity and immorality. So take a look at the headlines from the legacy media over the murder of these six hostages. CNN, Israeli American hostage, Hersh Goldberg-Pollin has died. His family says.

Has died is definitely, did he die of old age? Is that what happened? Here's what actually happened to Hersh Goldberg Poland. On October 7th, he was at the Nova Festival. He had his arm blown off by Hamas. They then sawed off his arm. They kept him alive for 300 days and then they shot him point blank in the head. That's what actually happened to Hersh Goldberg Poland. But according to CNN, he quote, has died. BBC's headline, Israel says bodies of six Gaza hostages recovered. Oh, what happened to them?

What happened to them? I mean, I feel like that's kind of relevant. What, how did, what happened? How did they die? Again, CNN, Israeli American hostage has died. Well, he, you know, just natural, of natural causes was a cancer and the willingness to obscure the evil of Hamas. And it's the deliberate willingness.

There's only one way that headline gets written, and that's because you wish to obscure it. Sky News, Israeli hostages confirmed dead after army finds six bodies in Gaza. Again, the story is that they were murdered in the last five days. That's the story. They were kept alive. I mean, imagine, just take a second to put yourself in the shoes of the hostages for one second.

that you were in your own home or you were at a music festival. You were taken hostage by the world's worst vicious human beings. You were held alive underground with the shred of hope that maybe the IDF would find you for 300 days. And then as the IDF grew close, they put you down on your knees and they shoot you in the back of the head. That's what happened to these people. And the headline from the legacy media is they died just randomly. It must've been a car accident or something.

So Joe Biden's initial response, he put out an initial statement to Joe Biden and his initial statement said, quote, earlier today in a city, in a tunnel under the city of Rafah, Israeli forces recovered six bodies of hostages held by Hamas. Now, first we should point out

Israeli troops would have been in Rafah in February or March if it had not been for the Biden administration, which withheld munitions from the Israelis to prevent them from doing operations in Rafah. And Israel kept saying, we need to go into Rafah to go get our hostages and to extirpate Hamas. And the United States, including Kamala Harris, as we'll see, kept saying, don't go in there. You mustn't go in there. It'll be terrible if you go in there. The reason Hamas did not want Israel to go in there is because it was a Hamas stronghold. They did not want Israel to shut down the terror tunnels to Egypt

They did not want Israel to find hostages and free them. Biden continues, we have now confirmed that one of the hostages killed by these vicious Hamas terrorists was an American citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Pollin. I am devastated and outraged.

Well, as we'll see, there's a lot more that Joe Biden could have done, but he was too busy sleeping and being senile. Hersh was among the innocents, brutally attacked while attending a music festival for peace in Israel on October 7th. He lost his arm helping friends and strangers during Hamas's savage massacre. He had just turned 23. He planned to travel the world. I've gotten to know his parents, John and Rachel. They've been courageous, wise, and steadfast, even as they've endured the unimaginable. They've been relentless and irrepressible champions of their son and of all the hostages held in unconscionable conditions.

I admire them and grieve with them more deeply than words can express. I'm sure that means a lot to them. I know all Americans tonight will have them in their prayers just as Jill and I will. I've worked tirelessly to bring their beloved Hirsch safely to them and I'm heartbroken by the news of his death. It is as tragic as it is reprehensible. Make no mistake, Hamas leaders will pay for these crimes and we'll keep working around the clock for a deal to secure the release of the remaining hostages. Then how do you plan to hold them responsible for their crimes?

Seriously, we're going to negotiate with Al Qaeda and we're going to hold Osama bin Laden responsible for his crimes are mutually exclusive. We are going to hold Hamas responsible for the murder of an American. And we need to negotiate with Hamas to get to a deal, a deal they won't accept except for full scale surrender. Those are mutually exclusive. And then Biden, because he's a cretin, I mean, just both intellectually and morally, he's a cretin. He was asked yesterday. He makes his way back after 17 days of vacation.

being a useless, moldering corpse at the beach. He makes his way back and the zombie speaks. He's asked about the so-called ceasefire deal. And here's what he says. Mr. President, do you think it's time for Prime Minister Netanyahu to do more on this issue? Do you think he's doing enough? No. No. Netanyahu is not doing enough. No. How about every shred of blood is on Hamas's hands? Literally, they just shot hostages.

And his first response is nothing. Now, who needs to do more? The Israeli government needs to do more. Does he understand what kind of damage you just did? I'm sure he doesn't. He's a moron. But let me explain. When people shoot hostages and your first move is to put pressure on the other party, you are telling them to keep shooting hostages. You are telling them to keep upping the ante. The more hostages they shoot, the more pressure Biden-Harris will bring on the Israelis in favor of Hamas. That's what that response means. It's absolutely disgusting.

Truly disgusting. The UK is doing the same thing, by the way. No shock there. The Labour Party under Keir Starmer, the foreign secretary, David Lammy, announced on the same weekend, on the same weekend that Hamas shot six hostages, including an American. The foreign secretary, David Lammy, announced an embargo on arms to Israel. It is with regret that I inform the House today. The assessment I have received leaves me unable to conclude anything other than

So they're cutting off weapons that could be used for quote-unquote offensive purposes, which is what we generally just call weapons. And so they are for...

They're cutting off weapons supplies to Israel on the same weekend that Hamas shot six hostages. So here's the thing. The West could do things. So Richard Goldberg, who is a senior advisor at the

Foundation for Defensive Democracy. He says, here's some things that the United States could do, that Congress could do. They could revoke all sanctions waivers issued for Iran, which is the sponsor state for Hamas. They could strip Qatar of its major non-NATO ally status and impose sanctions on Al Jazeera because Qatar is the home of the political wing of Hamas. They could withhold aid to Lebanon and Egypt, considering that Lebanon is currently facilitating Hezbollah in Israel's north and Egypt is trying to open the border with Hamas in the

They could ban Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways from the United States, both of which are sponsor states of terrorism. They could mandate 60-day reporting to Congress on assets connected to Hamas in Turkey, Qatar, or other countries to force sanctions designations. They could do all of that. That's one thing they could do. There's another thing they could do, and that is Biden-Harris could make clear that for every day the hostages are held, America will recognize 100 square dunam, which is about half an acre, of Gaza as a permanent Israeli buffer zone.

For every murdered hostages, a thousand square dunam. It's a proposal by the professor at George Mason Law, Eugene Kontorovich. And he's right.

Because if there is no actual pressure placed on Hamas, Hamas doesn't care. Here's the thing. Hamas does not care how many Palestinians die. They don't. In fact, they want Palestinians to die. The more Palestinians die, the more they go to the international community about how it's not their fault. It's Israel's fault and more pressure should be put on Israel. That's that's literally the reason they hide terror tunnels under civilian areas. They want Palestinians to die for the cameras. Again, these are the worst people in the world.

The only thing they don't want is reduction in their territory or loss of control. Israel's already threatening loss of control. The other thing that could threaten them is a permanent loss of territory, a permanent loss of territory, not just territorial control, territory proper would actually put pressure on them. Will the United States and the international community do anything like that to free hostages? Of course not. They'll put pressure on Israel to surrender. That's what that's what they'll do. And by the way, it's not just Joe Biden. It is also Kamala Harris.

Kamala Harris put out a statement on the death of Hersh Goldberg Poland, the murder of Hersh Goldberg Poland. And she said,

Doug and my prayers are with John Poland and Rachel Goldberg Poland, Hersh's parents, and with everyone who knew and loved Hersh. When I met with John and Rachel earlier this year, I told them you are not alone. That remains true as they mourn this terrible loss. As I as is said in the Jewish tradition, may Hersh's memory be a blessing. Hamas is an evil terrorist organization. With these murders, Hamas has even more American blood on its hands. I strongly condemn Hamas's continued brutality and so must the entire world.

Okay, all of that is exactly right. And then where does she go? Quote,

As vice president, I have no higher priority than the safety of American citizens wherever they are in the world. President Biden and I will never waver in our commitment to free the Americans and all those held hostage in Gaza. And then she calls and has called for a ceasefire.

So Hamas, they're as bad as the Nazis. They're awful. They're evil. They can't be left in control of Gaza. Also, we should leave them in control of Gaza and Israel should surrender in order to obtain the hostages. And we won't apply any mechanisms of serious pressure to Hamas via its either proxies or its sponsor states. We won't do any of that stuff. We'll pressure Israel instead. And here's a reminder about how stupid Kamala Harris is on foreign policy. This is back in March when she warned the Israelis not to go into Rafah because she's looked at maps. We have been...

clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake. Let me tell you something. I have studied the maps. There's nowhere for those folks to go. And we're looking at about a million and a half people in Rafah who are there because they were told to go there, most of them.

And so we've been very clear that it would be a mistake to move into RAFA with any type of military operation. That's this genius back in March. Kamala Harris, what a genius she is. Here's the thing.

So did she answer any questions on this over the weekend? Of course not. So she got out of her car and now she's doing the routine that you used to do to avoid talking with people at the office. She's going to pretend that she's on the phone. So she gets out of the car to avoid people yelling at her questions. She has her earphones in as she walks from her car to the plane. Here we go. She's probably on the phone. Now she's just talking to the, she's talking to everybody. She's waving. Now she's going to pretend she's listening. But, um,

Here she goes. She's going up. I noticed that she's not talking to anybody because there's no one on the phone. She will do anything to avoid questions. Anything. Anything. And then she turns around and her phone is to her ear. Okay, I just have a question. Is that how earphones work now? And when you have earphones connected to your phone and they're in your ears, you also put the phone up to your ear?

Is that a thing that you do frequently? Or is this all fakery just to get out of questions? I think we know the answer because Tim Walz did the same thing. So Tim Walz was doing one of his state fair campaigns. He's such an irritating human being, Tim Walz, honest to God. Like the faux joviality, which is just a mask for total tyrannical subjugation of his own state during COVID and an ugly hatred of a huge swath of America.

This clown. So he's speaking to the press at Minnesota State Fair. He answers a bunch of questions. The minute he's asked about the dead hostages, he turns and walks away. What's your reaction to the six hostages being found dead in Gaza? Thanks, everybody. All right, bye. Bye, he's got his ice cream to eat. What's his reaction to the dead hostages being found in Gaza? We'll catch you later. Now, why is he walking away? The reason he's walking away is because he has no idea what his position is. I mean, we know his position in Minnesota, which was to make nice with Ilhan Omar and the rest of the anti-Semitic group.

But he doesn't know what his position is. He just walks away. And that is the essence of the Western response to true evil in the world. The Western response to true evil in the world, basically since the fall of the Soviet Union, and certainly in the post-Iraq war era, has been to pretend that evil doesn't exist and everyone can be negotiated with. And that concessions to some of the world's most evil people bear fruit and peace when precisely the opposite is true. Netanyahu, again, gave a speech on Sunday and a press conference to a bunch of reporters who hate his guts.

And he asked a question. He said, OK, so a few days ago, the State Department, including Tony Blinken, said that I had accepted a deal and the pressure was on Hamas. Nothing in the deal changed. Now you have Joe Biden saying I'm not doing enough. What changed in the last five days other than hostages were murdered and the Biden administration hates Netanyahu and wants him out, which is really what this is about. This is about the Biden administration for months attempting to oust the Netanyahu government in favor of what they think will be a friendlier government.

And again, that is because of personal relations between Netanyahu and Biden and the Democratic Party. And it's also just because the Democratic Party believes that a more conciliatory concession based government in Israel will somehow lead to regional peace.

Which is insane. It has always led to more regional war. Every single time. Every single Israeli concession has led to more war in the region. Every single one. The only possible exception has been the Egypt-Israel peace deal, in which they gave up the Sinai in 1978 at Camp David Accords. That is the only one. And even that one now seems to be turned on its head, given the fact that Egypt has facilitated the entry of armaments and terrorists into the Gaza Strip via the Philadelphia Corridor, which again is the border between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

Here's Netanyahu saying, I don't understand. You guys said five days ago that I had accepted all the conditions you were putting down, and now you're putting the pressure on me? What's the deal? What has changed in the last five days? What has changed? One thing. These murderers executed six of our hostages. They shot them in the back of the head. That's what's changed. And now after this, we're asked to show seriousness? We're asked to make concessions? What message does this send Hamas?

It says kill more hostages, murder more hostages. You'll get more concessions. The pressure internationally must be directed at these killers, at Hamas, not at Israel. He's obviously correct. He's obviously correct. And then he lays out the timeline. He says, you know, you keep saying that I haven't done enough to release the hostages. I've accepted a wide variety of deals. Hamas has never accepted any of the deals since the very first deal, which they immediately broke. I was asked whether Israel is not, I'm not doing enough.

to the release of hostages. Well, I want to set the record straight. On April 27th, Secretary of State Blinken said that Israel made an extraordinarily generous offer for a hostage deal. On May 31st, Israel agreed to a U.S.-backed proposal. Hamas refused. On August 16th, Israel agreed to what the United States defined as a final bridging proposal. Hamas refused again. On August 19th,

Secretary Blinken said Israel accepted the U.S. proposal. Now Hamas must do the same. But then he reversed himself. Why? Because the hostages were shot and because the pathological response of a West that has apparently outlived its ideological sell by date is conceding to the most evil people in the world. And this is the bigger problem. The bigger problem for the West is not what happens in Israel.

That is just a bleeding tip of the spear indicator. It is the fact you have hundreds of thousands of people who march in the West on behalf of Hamas and Hezbollah. It is the fact that the West has not won outright a war in decades.

The reason for that is because the West is apologetic about its own values. It's apologetic about the vast moral gap between it and its enemies. Since the end of the Cold War, the West has been pathologically incapable of simply facing up to the problem of human evil, labeling it for what it is and recognizing that the only solution to evil is victory over it, not conciliation with it, not diplomacy aimed at temporary ceasefires with it, destruction of the evil.

Otherwise, it just keeps going. Otherwise, it just keeps going. When you exert pressure on the party that had hostages taken from it and shot in the back of the head by an Islamist terrorist group, when you exert pressure on that party, it demonstrates your own lack of moral credibility and your own complicity in the evil itself.

In just a second, we'll get to how this plays in the 2024 campaign. Because it turns out this is part and parcel of a broader take on foreign policy that Donald Trump should be hammering the Biden-Harris administration over. First, we are 10 days away from our first ever theatrical release, Am I Racist? Mark your calendars for Friday, September 13th. The joke is on the left. The only way to see it is on the big screen.

Matt Walsh goes deep undercover to infiltrate the weird, dirty world of race hustlers and grifters. Watch as he hilariously exposes the absurd truth behind the left's agenda. Theaters are selling out across the country. When they do, more screens are added. So if you've been to miracist.com and you didn't see a theater in your city, go check again. Be part of the greatest troll on the left ever performed. Get your tickets. Join the fun on opening weekend. Go to miracist.com for tickets and showtimes.

right now. Now, again, this is all part and parcel of a Western belief that American military force, that Western military force, that force of arms against the world's most evil people is somehow bad, which is why the Biden-Harris administration sees the Afghanistan pullout not as what it was, a massive debacle, a failure of not just imagination, but of practical application. They don't see that as what it is, a full-scale disaster for America that has led to great scale aggression by Russia, by China, by Iran.

Instead, they see it as victory. Kamala Harris has treated Afghanistan as a victory. The only sin, apparently, according to Kamala Harris with regard to Afghanistan, is that Donald Trump went and visited the graves of dead troops at Arlington National Cemetery last week. That is the big sin. So Kamala Harris put out a statement over the weekend reading thusly.

As vice president, I've had the privilege of visiting Arlington National Cemetery several times. It is a solemn place, a place where we come together to honor American heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of this nation. It is not a place for politics. And yet, as was reported this week, Donald Trump's team chose to film a video there, resulting in an altercation with cemetery staff. Let me be clear, the former president disrespected sacred ground all for the sake of a political stunt. I will always honor and cherish the service and sacrifice of all America's fallen heroes.

who made the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our beloved nation and our cherished freedoms. I mourn them and salute them, and I will never politicize them. No, you'll just get them killed, won't you? You'll just get them killed. Kamala Harris was the last person in the room on Afghanistan. She has celebrated every aspect of the Afghan pullout. She never got in contact with any of the families of the troops. The big sin is that Donald Trump recognized the failures of the Biden administration and went and paid homage to the troops. That's the big problem here.

But we're supposed to believe it's all about optics. It's the optics of how she treats the troops, not the underlying disdain she has for the reality of power politics in a world filled with nefarious powers. The great failure of the Biden administration is that American troops died because they were weak, because Biden and Harris are weak. That is why those troops died.

The reason that we have what we have in Ukraine is because Biden and Harris are weak in the face of aggression. The reason that China is consistently threatening Taiwan is because Biden and Harris are weak. The reason Iran is still blowing up shipping in the Red Sea is because Biden and Harris are weak. That weakness leads to people dying.

And the reason that they refuse to see this is because to say the opposite would be to recognize a truth the left cannot bear. And that truth is, again, the problem of human evil and the reality, which is that Western civilization is less evil than its competitors. Period. End of story. But Harris and company will never acknowledge that because to them, Western civilization is

boils down basically to their favorite economic and social policies. That's what Western civilization boils down to. It doesn't boil down to constitutional rights and freedoms. It doesn't boil down to Christian-based natural law. It doesn't boil down to any of those things. It boils down instead to gay pride flags and welfare state. That is what democracy means to the left.

And what that also means is that anybody all over the world who is, quote unquote, suffering, who is, quote unquote, victimized, is actually victimized by Western society. Success is a hallmark of victimization, according to Kamala Harris and company. That perverse perspective is why evil progresses in the world whenever the left is in charge in the West. Tom Cotton was making this point over the weekend on the Sunday shows. Here he was ripping into Kamala Harris.

You know who the family's also invited? Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Where were they? Joe Biden was sitting at a beach. Kamala Harris was sitting at her mansion in Washington, D.C. She was four miles away, 10 minutes. She could have gone to the cemetery and honored the sacrifice of those young men and women. But she hasn't. She never has spoken to them or taken a meeting with them. They did meet with them during the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer. Her and Joe Biden's incompetence

those 13 Americans were killed in Afghanistan. By the way, Joe Biden was checking his watch during the dignified transfer ceremony. As you recall, President Trump put out a statement, quote, I want to thank the families of our great warriors who have been lost to us for the way they came together as one. And thank me for attending at their request, the celebration of their wonderful family members who...

because of the incompetence of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are no longer with us. Thank you for saying you wanted me to stand with you at Arlington National Cemetery and take pictures that it was your request, not mine. It was my great honor to do so. I will never forget the fact that Harris tried to play the great sin as Donald Trump going to visit the graves as opposed to her not going to visit the graves and being complicit in the decision making that got those people killed says everything about Kamala Harris.

Meanwhile, the former compatriots of Tim Walz and the National Guard, he of course is her vice presidential candidate, they went on Megyn Kelly over the weekend and ripped into Tim Walz for his stolen valor.

He's a military impersonator. I don't understand how he could do it morally or, you know, he's got absolutely no integrity. The rumor went across the state that he had quit and it was like, who the hell does that? I mean, it was just unbelievable that a CSM abandoned his troops, 500 soldiers basically. But beyond that, there's a thousand parents out there that expect that person to lead those people into conflict.

He's a habitual liar. He lies about everything. He lies about stuff that doesn't make sense. You're taking a piece of their thunder and you're trying to capture it and putting it in a bottle for yourself and use that for your own benefit. He basically said, I've got better things to do. You know, go pick somebody else to go on a mission. What if you sold out your guard unit and abandoned them? I mean, what are you going to do with the national weapon? Fear is a reaction. Bravery is a decision. And Walls has...

made the wrong decision. He's not brave. I call him a coward because he is.

So this is a campaign that is filled with holes. It's a problem. But you know what they're going to fill that hole with? The moral hole at the center of this campaign. They're going to fill it with vibes. Their record sucks. They have a perverse view of how foreign relations works. Their view on American economic policy is full scale disastrous. And they happen to not be particularly wonderful people, but they have the vibes. And Kamala Harris knows it. It's all vibes all the way down. Kamala Harris was on the campaign trail. It was vibes and Biden on the campaign trail over the weekend.

She says, basically, the mission is just get through the next 64 days. That's it. And they know. They know. Don't talk about policy. Don't say anything of substance. Just get through the next couple of months. Hide it from the American people and maybe you'll sneak through. Let's just get through the next 64 days. How about that? By the way, her campaigning has become more and more mannered. She's dragging out every different accent in every different place she can. She's a terrible local theater actor. Truly terrible.

Here, for example, is Kamala Harris speaking in Detroit and Pittsburgh. These are a few hours apart. Listen to the change in accent. Notice the change in accent? One was in Detroit, one was in Pittsburgh. So when she's in Detroit, she sounds like Foghorn Leghorn. You better thank a union member. You better thank a union member. You better.

And then she goes to Pittsburgh and she sounds like she is attending the University of Pennsylvania in the biz ed program. It's ridiculous. She's a ridiculous person. It's all vague sloganeering. It's all vibes and nothing else. Her campaign, she literally just goes out there and says Nostrum based crap like we know what we're fighting for and forward. And this is supposed to be a campaign. Here she was over the weekend. We know how they play.

We know what they do. So let's not pay too much attention to the polls. Let's know, like labor always does, we are out here running like we are the underdog in this race because we know for and that's why we know what we fight for. As we fight to move our nation forward, Donald Trump intends to pull us back to the past. But we're not going back.

Yeah.

And there's that crazy laugh. It's going to get worse, folks. It's going to get worse as this campaign goes on. Joining us online is Ambassador David Friedman. He was the U.S. ambassador to Israel from March 2017 until January 2021 under Donald Trump. And he, of course, successfully guided unprecedented diplomatic achievements in the U.S.-Israel relationship, including the Abraham Accords and the United States embassy being moved to Jerusalem. He has a brand new book out today titled One Jewish State, The Last Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. Ambassador Friedman, great to speak with you.

Thanks, Ben. Great to be with you as well. So obviously, let's start with the news of the weekend. Horrifying news out of Israel as six bodies are found in a terror tunnel.

held by Hamas, six hostages for over 300 days, shot in the back of the head, including an Israeli American. And the first response, apparently, of the rest of the world is to tell Israel to make more concessions to Hamas. That includes the current president of the United States, Joe Biden, who awakened from his torpor in Rehoboth Beach to explain that Benjamin Netanyahu was apparently not doing enough. What's your take on the situation?

I was horrified by that. And I'll tell you why, you know, you know, Israel is going through a massive trauma since October 7th. And that trauma was, you know, was relived again a couple of days ago when these six hostages were found dead. And look, there are political divides in Israel and everybody knows that. But for for Biden to say on a day like yesterday or two days ago, whenever he said it, that Bibi Netanyahu was not doing enough to free the hostages. Not only is it absolutely false, but

but it pours gasoline on a fire of America's most important ally. I mean, the people of Israel need some comfort. They need a hug. They don't need to be told that their democratically elected leader doesn't care about the hostages, which is an absolute lie, an absolute lie. And you know what the proof of it is? Because you know this.

well you know in in uh in unfortunately in israel and in america you know these things you know everything leaks constantly i mean any story out is is out in about the you know five ten minutes

So here's the story that no one ever wrote. What was the deal? Right? What was the deal? How many hostages were being released and when? What was the price? How many murderers were being released? What was happening to SINWAR? What was happening to MASHAL? What was happening to Gaza? Who was going to rule over it? Was Israel getting out or, you know, permanently getting out temporarily? What was? The answer is no one knows because there was no deal.

And the idea of accusing Netanyahu at a time when he's fighting for his life, for the life of the country, is the worst political stunt, the most obnoxious political stunt I've ever seen anybody pull. And they should be ashamed of what they did.

You know, Ambassador Friedman, for those Americans who look at the conflict in the Middle East and they say, why does this even matter to us? Why is this something that actually we should care about? Why isn't this just a faraway conflict in a distant land? I think what this speaks to, the reaction of the Biden administration or say the UK government, which is cutting off weapons to Israel in the middle of a war, it speaks to a new kind of Western idea since the end of the Cold War that the West does not deserve to defend itself. That when something terrible happens to the West, it probably is because the West has been too harsh and

It's because the West itself has brought it upon itself. It's all backlash. Why should what's going on in Israel matter to people who don't live in the region?

Well, in the first place, it's disrupted everybody's lives. I mean, look at how those who hate our country have mobilized upon this war to foment, you know, insurrection everywhere. I mean, you can't go to college in America anymore in the blue states. You just can't go. I mean, you know, I have friends whose kids, you know, they're paying lots of money for tuition. They can't go to class.

Because this war has mobilized a current within the United States that is Marxist, communist, anti-American and wants to destroy us. And those that want to destroy Israel want to destroy America. And Israel is the tip of the spear. And as goes Israel, ultimately, that's the Western world. I mean, that's the tip of the Western world. They're fighting the front closest to our enemies.

And so there's a direct line between how Israel does and prosecutes this war and defends itself and how the rest of the Western world. I mean, look, you see, London is unlivable. Paris is unlivable. Why? Because these countries have followed exactly what you pointed out, that somehow we need to commit national suicide as a way of self-governance. And we can't do that. We're 10 years behind London on this. We can't do it.

And Israel can't do it. And I would add one thing, Ben, which is that, you know, the Bible still sells 2000 copies an hour in America, 20 million copies a year. People care about the Bible. It's the last authentic, you know, anchoring wisdom and values that we have left in our country. And we're losing that as well. But that's all we got left is the Bible or the values, the Judeo-Christian values of that book.

And that book lives in the land of Israel. You know, if you want to authenticate the stories, the events, the archaeology, you go there and you get to recharge your batteries and it matters. It matters to a lot of people and it should matter because, again, that is the wellspring of the values that made America a great country.

So, Ambassador Freeman, your book, One Jewish State, The Last Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, posits something that has become taboo, which is the claim that the best solution in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is Israeli sovereignty, not only in what is –

now termed inside the Green Line Israel, but also in Judea and Samaria, known as the West Bank. What's the case for that? Because the case that's always been made is that a two-state solution is the best. There has to be a self-governing Palestinian state in which Palestinians govern Palestinians and Israelis govern Israelis. The case that you make is the opposite. You essentially say that's never going to happen. So why exactly should Israel govern areas like, say, Nablus or Jenin that are entirely Palestinian, but are obviously honeycombed with terrorism as well?

So, look, we start off with the point you made, the two-state solution. We now demonstrably know it won't work because we have attempted to establish that in Gaza about 17 years ago. And they were given lots of money. There's not a single Jew living there, not a single boot of any American soldier there. They were given billions of dollars. The territory is beautiful, western-facing, Mediterranean territory.

And they took all the money, all the billions of dollars, they elected Hamas, and they created one of the most vile terror states ever known to man. Okay, that's the two-state solution. That would be replicated as well in Judea and Samaria if there were a Palestinian state there, even in places like Area A, which is a component under Oslo of Judea and Samaria, which is entirely Arab. Those places have now become hotbeds of terrorism, as you say, in Jenin and Ramallah, and the Israeli defense forces have to go there to keep the peace. So...

Making the case that a two-state solution has failed and will continue to fail is pretty easy. It's pretty straightforward. You have to be blind not to know that. Now the question is, what do you do? So the question is, is there anybody that can rule over Judea and Samaria that has a track record of empowering an Arab minority? Well, you know, you don't have to look far for that, right? It's the state of Israel. 20% of the state of Israel are Arab citizens.

More than 20% of Haifa University, Be'er Sheva University, Hebrew University, Tel Aviv University are Arabs. The Arabs have, uh, have, uh,

assimilated and penetrated into Israeli society in a very positive way. I have dear friends who are at the pinnacle of business and science in the state of Israel. You break your leg and you go to Hadassah Hospital, you're probably going to get an Arab orthopedic surgeon who'll do a very good job in treating you. So, you know, Israel is the only country that can export into this very kind of dangerous, unstable area

um the kind of the kind of governance and values that will enable the the locals the palestinians to have a standard of living that rises up to that of israeli arabs that's number one number two is for those who who care about um about biblical israel and those who care about places like you know shiloh and hebron and bethlehem and and the old city of jerusalem

if Israel doesn't maintain sovereignty over those places, they're gone. I mean, the Palestinians, given the opportunity, as they have done, for example, with the grave of Joseph in Nablus, they will destroy any connection. This is their goal, to destroy any connection of the Jewish people, of the Christian faith to this holy land. I mean, this is this land. This is where Jesus walked. This is where the kings ruled, the prophets preached.

These are not places that could be given away. I mean, I've, and I believe that that is even the secular Israelis, even though, you know, the far left in Israel who kind of never wanted to get too close to the Bible, never get too close to their ancient history, wanted to recreate Israel in their own image. Even they are recognizing right now that this land is really the DNA of the Jewish people and essential to people who observe the Christian faith. And we can't give it away. And if we can't give it away,

need to come up with a system to keep it under israeli sovereignty and of course my final point is that there'll be no security uh no security in the region until israel is able to rule over this land israel can rule over the land they can keep the peace

And that's the best thing for Jordan. It's the best thing for the Saudis, the Emiratis. It's the best thing for the Palestinians who live in Judea and Samaria. So when people say to me, oh, you know, you're a colonizer, you're an apartheidist. No, no, this is a plan. You can like it whether you're on the left or you're on the right, whether you're secular, whether you're religious. It's the best outcome for everyone. It's actually the unfinished business of

that Donald Trump and I and Jared and others were working on when we left office. I mean, this is the unfinished business, trying to find a solution that works for all. And if people keep an open mind, this is a far better solution to the two-state solution, which is a failure. So Ambassador Friedman, obviously the big objection to anything like this is how does voting work? So the claim is, let's say Israel takes sovereignty, annexes the Judea and Samaria regions of what people call the West Bank,

Let's say that they do that. Obviously, you have millions of Palestinians who are living there. They're not voting now. Obviously, they haven't voted in an election since like 2004. So Mahmoud Abbas is now in year 18 of a four-year term. And obviously, voting is not taking place in the Gaza Strip. But the supposition is that now living in democratic Israel, they should be granted a vote in the Israeli parliament. If that were to happen, then almost immediately you would have

a vying for control over the actual democratic auspices of the state of Israel. So how do you square that circle? How do you make it so that Israel can maintain all this control over this area without falling into the trap of either a radicalized Arab minority taking control of the entire state or the quote unquote apartheid state accusation that essentially there's a second class citizenship being provided for Arab citizens? So look, um,

You know, Israel, if it took over Judea and Samaria, it will inherit a large, somewhat radicalized at this point, Arab population. And it will work with its partners to try to de-radicalize that by creating opportunities for the Palestinians there.

But Israel can't swap, if you will, a security threat for a demographic threat. They can't. It just can't be done. I mean, Israel is a Jewish state. And that's why the book is called "One Jewish State," because we're only asking for one Jewish state. There's 40-plus Muslim countries in the world, right, where you've got to be Muslim. There's Christian countries. There's Hindu countries. There's Buddhist countries. We're just saying kind of one Jewish state, which means that the national character of the state of Israel, the collective right of self-determination, which is part of the Israeli nation state law, has to be Jewish.

Within that, okay, within that, you know, within that, you know, umbrella, you'll have governance. You know, I use the example, for example, of Puerto Rico in the United States. Puerto Rico is a wholly owned territory of the United States. Its people are citizens of the United States. They don't vote. Puerto Rico does not vote in a national election. Neither does Guam, neither does American Samoa or other places. No one accuses America of being an apartheid state. So we'll have to work on the governance. I mean, I think the Palestinians living in their communities

should have civilian autonomy. They'll elect their mayors, they'll elect their governors. Possibly, if we're getting into serious discussions, we can talk about taxation and how they'll have representation in taxation. Possibly, we can go in different routes and just say, look,

There are seven or eight principles of Israel that you need 90% of the population to vote in favor of, which is another way of maintaining the Jewish character of the state of Israel. There's ways to do it. To me, that's a detail. To let that detail get in the way of de-radicalizing the West Bank, of giving away the biblical heritage of the Jewish and the Christian people, and to creating another terror state that will simply do to Israel in spades and 10 times what

what Gaza did, it's a problem we're going to be able to fix. I have no doubt it's fixable if people take this seriously. Well, the book is One Jewish State, The Last Best Hope to Resolve the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. The author is Ambassador David Friedman, of course, who is ambassador to Israel under Donald Trump. David, thanks so much for the time. Really appreciate it. It's my pleasure, Ben. Thanks for having me.
