B (12:57)

It's a great honor to be involved in it. We had some tremendous help, as you know, with everybody from Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and Marco, and we had everybody. JD the whole group was just amazing. And the military was, as you know, very instrumental in getting this done. We have a great military with great leadership. The whole world came together, to be honest, so many countries that you wouldn't have even thought of it. They came together. The world has come together around this deal. And that's something I would say that without. That wouldn't happen. So many countries that you wouldn't have thought of have wired their best wishes and their commitment to do whatever is necessary. The countries surrounding have all signed. I mean, they're all signed up.

A (13:46)

And.

B (13:48)

It'S been really an amazing period of time and so great for Israel, so great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so great for this country, for the United States of America. And that we could be involved in, you know, making a deal like this happen because it was, you know, many years they talked about peace in the Middle East. This is more than Gaza. This is peace in the Middle east. And it's an incredible thing.

A (14:14)

Well, again, President Trump sees this as the opening to a broader peace in the Middle East. This is just the beginning because once this war is over, then there is seriously the possibility of a bunch of Abraham Accords happening, including Saudi Arabia, including places like Indonesia, places that are not necessarily even in the region. There's no question the president of the United States deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. I mean, who else is going to get it? Greta Thunberg, if anyone but President Trump receives the Nobel Peace Prize this year, then it just demonstrates, I mean, it's already been demonstrated over and over what a complete bleep show the the Nobel committee is. But if they don't give him the Peace Prize, then it just demonstrates full scale how ridiculous there Barack Obama received one for being alive and breathing and being elected President of the United States. Yasser Arafat received a Nobel Peace Prize. The arch terror master, Donald Trump, if you can't give him the Nobel Peace Prize, honest to God, I disband the committee at this point. President Trump announced that the hostages will be released soon. He said at the very latest by Monday. My understanding is that the live hostages will be released before then. The only question is about the corpses of the hostages who were murdered by Hamas.

B (15:17)

The big thing is hostages are going to be released. It's probably our time would be probably Monday. And, you know, it's, they're terribly a terrible situation. They're deep. They're deep in the earth and they're being gotten. And a lot of things are happening right now as we speak. So much is happening to get the hostages freed. And we think they'll all be coming back on Monday. So it looks like, that's the thing, and that'll include the bodies of the dead.

A (15:52)

Okay, so again, that is obviously huge news. Everybody here in Israel right now. And again, I came to Israel for the Jewish holidays. Everybody here in Israel is at the very least relieved. And I would say the overwhelming feeling is ecstatic to get the hostages home. This has been the main issue that has been driving internal dissent and debate inside of Israel. There's unity against Hamas, and there has been since October 7th. But there has been a lot of. Of roiling inside of Israel about the status of the hostages, what can be done to free them. President Trump said it's not just going to end with the hostage release. Gaza will end up a safer place. And this is where. What happens in stage two, stage three, that's where that matters. Hamas cannot remain in charge, obviously, of the Gaza Strip. Hamas does have to be disarmed. Some sort of provisional authority, we would hope, under Tony Blair or someone like that would have to take place. The place needs to be made safe, and then investment dollars that go in will be used to actually build things, as opposed to terror tunnels and rockets, which is what Hamas spent all the money on for the last 20 years or so. Here's President Trump talking about the future of Gaza.

B (16:51)

Well, Gaza is going to be a peaceful, much safer place. Obviously, it's been blown to pieces, and this is just not by Israel. This is over years and years and years. It's been heartache for many years. A lot of people say this is a deal for 3,000 years. So whether you say 500, because some people say 500 based on events, but other people say this is something historic for 3,000 years. Is nothing ever going to be bigger than this? And so Gaza, we believe, is going to be a much safer place, and it's going to be a place that reconstructs, and other countries in the area will help it reconstruct because they have tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that happen. And we'll be involved in helping them make it successful and helping it stay peaceful. But I think it's going to be peaceful. I think, again, the Iran situation was very important, doing what we had to do, which was, again, 22 years, it was planned to be done, and nobody, no other president, wanted to do it or whatever for whatever reason, but they didn't do it. And having that was very important. But, you know, I'm very confident there'll be peace in the Middle East. I mean, the words peace in the Middle east is something people have been Striving for. For hundreds of years, for centuries, for many centuries. And we really have. Every country has come together.

A (18:14)

So, again, what happens next in Gaza is going to matter an awful lot. And that will require some oversight because Gazans apparently were in the streets celebrating the deal. Anytime there's a ceasefire, there's a celebration in Gaza, because it means that Gaza stops getting walloped, obviously, but it also means a false claim of victory. Apparently, many Gazans were in the street chanting their usual anti Semitic chant of Khyber Khaybar yah yahud, which is a celebration of a passage in the Quran in which Muhammad wipes out a Jewish city, essentially. So, you know, again, the idea that the Palestinians have suddenly become moderate, it was not true in the first place. It is still not true. What happens next is what has to happen in every area that is, that is rife with crime and violence and genocidal thought, which is it has to be made quiet. But the first step toward that is the release of the Israeli hostages. And again, it seems as though there is unity in the region on the idea that Hamas not only needs to be ousted, but that the Gaza Strip needs to become a quiescent place. President Trump talked about the fact that he was able to form a coalition with the Arab nations in order to achieve this.

B (19:17)

A lot of the Arab nations that.

A (19:19)

Have formed coalitions with you were reluctant.

B (19:21)

And resistant for decades to ever be.

A (19:24)

A part of the solution. That was a big part of what happened here today. Explain. Can you explain that part of it?

B (19:31)

Well, I develop relationships with people, and sometimes those relationships lead to great things. And in the case of many of the Arab nations, the wealthiest nations in the world, if you look, although with what we've done in the United States, I think we top everybody.

A (19:48)

And again, the future of the Middle east is happening right now. The reshaping of the Middle East. Now President Trump made the point in this interview with Sean Hannity It's a great point that one of the preconditions to this deal happening was the elimination of the Iranian nuclear capacity. It was absolutely crucial because again, we'll go through the timeline in a moment. When you look at this war, essentially what happened is that you had a seven front war on Israel from a variety of enemies. And one by one, the threats were removed in each of those areas. And finally Hamas had no support upon which to stand. And when that happened, then you finally get a ceasefire and a possible move toward peace. That's what has to happen. Remove all of the support structures beneath the terror masters and they collapse. Here is President Trump talking about the necessity of the United States Single B2 sortie that took out the Natanz nuclear facility in Iran.

B (23:00)

Well, Iran was about one month, maybe two months away from having a nuclear weapon. And if I allowed that to happen, this deal would not have been possible. Or if it was, it would have a tremendous cloud over it because you'd have a country with a nuclear weapon that was not obviously very friendly. And the power of nuclear weapons is something that we shouldn't even be talking about. It's so massive. And so by doing that, we now have something where actually Iran and I and Iran and a number of people have been talking about a deal, but it's a very much different Iran. And frankly, we've had some very good conversations. And as you saw, they blessed the deal. They put out a few hours ago a statement that they agree with the deal and they bless the deal. That's a tremendous thing. I believe if they had a nuclear weapon, there would be a whole different. Even if we made the deal, it would be, it would have, literally, it would have a very dark cloud over it because of what could potentially happen. So now there is, there are no dark clouds. We're going to have peace. And by the way, I believe Iran is going to be actually a part of the whole peace situation. But countries that frankly didn't get along. They're, they're all involved and it's brought the whole world together. It's amazing.

A (24:19)

So what changed? Right? And this is the big question, what changed between October 7, 2023 and October 8, 2025, which is when the deal effectively was made. It was announced in the early morning hours of October 9th. And again, the, the anniversary means something here. Mean we are coming up on Simat Torah, which is the Hebrew date upon which this attack was launched. We're in the middle of Sukot right now, which is a Jewish holiday. That lasts in Israel seven days, it lasts eight days outside of Israel. That is slated for the beginning of next week. And so it is quite possible the hostages will be released essentially on the eve of the day that the war started two years ago. What changed? Because something changed. Because Hamas could have given up all the hostages right away and they could have surrendered right away, and then all of this could have been avoided, or they could have never done October 7th, but something changed. To understand, you actually have to look at the timeline again. Here is the point when people say that war doesn't work or force doesn't work well, when you have an intransigent enemy that attacks you, it turns out that actually force and war are the only way to remove their capacity to harm you and undermine them. Hamas invaded Israel October 7, 2023. They killed 1200 people, mainly Jews, and they took 250 hostages. Hezbollah, which was a Lebanese terror group backed by Iran, essentially an Iranian proxy, in the north of Israel, in Lebanon, they began launching small strikes in the north, and that gradually escalated into major rocket assaults that emptied the north of Israel of hundreds of thousands of citizens. Hundreds of thousands of people in Israel left their homes and moved south in Israel. So when the war began, essentially Israel was on retreat in Gaza, and they had started already on retreat in the north of Israel. Before Israel even struck back. The propaganda war began. Massive protests in the streets in favor of Hamas. Within days, those protests started promoting the lie of an Israeli genocide, which of course escalated over the course of two years, two long years. Now, there were some very short ceasefires that were reached in order to exchange prisoners. So Israel responded overwhelmingly in mid to late October. And by early November, a short ceasefire was reached, including a prisoner exchange with 105 hostages released at the time, presumably in an attempt by Hamas to forestall what was to come next. But that ceasefire ended because Hamas was still in place and Israel was not going to leave the body of terrorists who'd been running the place for 20 years in place. In January 2024, there was another small ceasefire. Some 16 hostages were released. There was another small hostage release. In January 2025, there was a special release of Idan Alexander, the sole American who is being held at that point in custody in hostage situations by. By Hamas in order for Hamas to. To try to pay some sort of tribute to President Trump. Massive terrorist release in exchange on Israel's side for idan Alexander. In February 2025, there are another six. In February, there are another three. Okay, so for all of those hostages, Israel released Literally thousands of terrorists, people who had received the death penalty for terrorism. There is no death penalty in Israel. They'd receive life sentencer. We're talking about thousands of terrorists, hundreds of whom had received life sentences for terrorism and for murder and for attempted murder. And these were released by Israel in exchange in the middle of a war, knowing that a huge percentage of these people were probably going to go back to the war. So it wasn't. There are these sort of temporary hostage releases. These, these sort of happened. They're kind of short term. They didn't stop the war. What actually happened? If you look at a map of the Middle East, Israel won on every single front. On every single front. On April 1, Israel decided it would no longer be allowing Iran to essentially spread its terror tentacles throughout the region because all the various forces throughout the region that were fighting Israel were backed by Iran. Hamas was backed by Iran. Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the so called West Bank, Judea and Samaria backed by Iran. Syria, the Assad regime was being backed by Hezbollah which is backed by Iran. Hezbollah in Lebanon was backed by Iran. There were forces in Iraq who were backed by Iran. Iran itself had been attacking Israel and the Houthis in Yemen had been attacking. They of course are supported by Iran. So Israel began defenestrating every single one of these pillars. So on April 1, 2024, Israel killed two top Iranian generals in Damascus, making clear to the Iranians that they would not be allowing Iran to up the ante in places like Syria, that they wouldn't allow another front to open in Syria. In response, Iran fired a few missiles into Israel. Israel then killed Ismail Haniyeh, who is the political leader of Hamas, on July 31, 2024 in an assassination in Iran. Chania had been living in Qatar. He went to Iran for some sort of big festival on behalf of anti Semitism and anti anti Israeli sentiment and he was killed in Iran. On September 17, 2024, Israel opened the front against Hezbollah. So Hezbollah again had cleared the entire north of Israel. There was no one living in these areas because of the constant rocket attacks. And Israel launched the single most targeted and brilliant anti terror campaign in the history of the world. That beeper attack on Hezbollah where they literally had distributed pagers blow up on the members of Hezbollah with minimal cost to civilians. There will never be no cost to civilians when you're attacking terrorists. But minimal cost like the single most targeted attack in human history. Days later, Israel entered Lebanon to clear the south of Hezbollah and slammed Hezbollah targets throughout the country. On September 27, 2024, they killed the charismatic leader of Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallah. They bombed him into the ground, literally into the ground. He was in a bunker underneath a building. And they hit the building with a bunch of 10,000 pound bombs and killed Nasrallah. That prompted Iran, who again had supported Nasrallah and Hezbollah, to fire a few more missiles into Israel. Just a couple of weeks after that, Israel killed Yahya Sinwar, who was the mastermind of October 7 and the military leader of Hamas. They had also killed Mohammed Da', if, who was the military leader of Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Thanks to the defenestration of Hezbollah. Bashar Al Assad fell in Syria because he did not have the support of Hezbollah. He was not in fact toppled by the Israelis, he was in fact toppled by the Turks. The Turks backed a terrorist group called HTS, which ran down from the north of Syria and basically just took Damascus. So Assad fell as a result of him lacking the support base of Hezbollah. And then of course, June 12, 2025, Israel began attacking Iran's nuclear infrastructure, launching the famed 12 Day War that ended with President Trump giving the order to destroy the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz. On September 9, 2025, Israel attacked Hamas in Qatar. So what changed here? What changed, as I give you that, that very sort of truncated timeline. One, Israel dominated its opponents. Israel did not cut peace deals in which it gave concessions to a bunch of terrorists. Instead it, Israel dominated its opponents. It dominated them in, in the south, in the Gaza Strip, it dominated them in the north with Hezbollah. It dominated them in Iran. It dominated its opponents. Second President Donald J. Trump happened. So in 2024, Israel did extraordinarily heavy work. Again, go back to that timeline. They killed Haniyeh in Iran in 2024 while Joe Biden was president. They killed Hassan Nasrallah while Joe Biden was president. They killed Yahya Sinwar while Joe Biden was president. But the pressure from Joe Biden gave life to Hamas in the same way that Emmanuel Macron, the moron president of France, gave life to Hamas by saying he would give them a state. Joe Biden by slow walking aid to the Israelis, by telling Israelis, don't go into Rafah. You remember all eyes on Rafah. And then Israel took Rafah in three weeks with minimal loss of civilian life. All of that pressure on Israel gave the public relations lift to Hamas that it was looking for in order for them to prolong the war. Public relations matters and Hamas knew it. There's a great book by Eli Shahrabi who was being held as a hostage by hamas for almost 600 days. And Elisha Rabi talks about Hamas members would come to him and show him videos of protesters in Israel against the government and say, look, your country is collapsing, and show him headlines from abroad and say, look, we have support from abroad. PR mattered to Hamas because Hamas couldn't win on the battlefield. So they felt that they would win in the court of public opinion and put so much pressure on Israel that Israel would be forced to concede and credit to Prime Minister Netanyahu and to, obviously, the IDF and the people of Israel. That didn't happen. And then Donald Trump was elected, and everything changed. It changed because Donald Trump made clear that he would not be providing any level of support, either rhetorical or material, to Hamas. That, in fact, Hamas was on its last legs. He promised there would be hell to pay. And there was, in fact, hell to pay. He said, I will back the stick. If Israel is the stick, I will back the stick. And suddenly the support started to evaporate for Hamas from abroad, because, remember, it wasn't just that Hamas had support from Iran. They also had support from Qatar. They had support from Turkey. They had support from erstwhile American allies, who we've been told are our greatest allies in the region by some. And those greatest allies in the region were supporting Hamas. They were hosting their top people. They were sending material support to these places. When Hamas members get injured and get shipped out, they go to Turkey. Okay, so all of the setup was here. And then something happened in the last few weeks. And the thing that happened in the last few weeks, there really two things. One, Israel struck at the Hamas leadership in Qatar. Now, on the one hand, it was a failed strike. They didn't kill the Hamas leadership in Qatar. But the message of the Qatar strike was very clear, that Israel, if not held back by the United States, would in fact, strike Hamas anywhere, including in Qatar. And President Trump, being actually truly good at this, like, really, really good at this, then came in and offered the carrot. So Israel made clear that there was a stick. The stick was that they would strike anywhere. That if pressed to the mat, Israel would strike Hamas anywhere. They would strike terrorists anywhere. That was the stick. President Trump then came in and he offered security assurances to Qatar and F35s to Turkey. And that was the carrot. But the carrot came along with the string. And the string was, if you want those security assurances, you need to force Hamas to give up the hostages. Now, I should point out at this point that if that's true, then the single biggest blunder of this entire war was Joe Biden not saying to Qatar on October 8, you guys, your support structure from the United States goes away unless you force the release. If, in fact, Qatar in Turkey had the power to make Hamas give up the ghost, the fact that they have not done so for two years tells you something. Okay, so that is one big thing that happened. That strike against Hamas in Qatar, that, that acted as a stick toward Qatar and toward Turkey. And then the President of the United States coming in the back door and saying, no more strikes in Qatar. Security assurances to Qatar, maybe F35s to Turkey. That's the carrot, but only if we all get on the same page. The Hamas cannot rule the Gaza Strip. And finally the IDF doing again, just unbelievable, extraordinary work, truly sweeping through Gaza City. So again, there is this talk that Israel would never be able to take Gaza City was impossible. It would be impossible for them to take Gaza City. What prompted the end of the war was that every single layer of support that Hamas had evaporated. It went away. Their PR support went away the minute that President Trump swiveled on Hamas and forced Qatar and Turkey to do the same. Their support from Qatar and Turkey went away because President Trump forced Qatar and Turkey to the mat. Their military support had already gone away because Israel had destroyed it. Their support from Iran went away because Iran can't even get water to its own citizens in Tehran and its nuclear program is in ruins. Their support went away from Hezbollah. It's gone. The only ones left standing at this point are the Houthis. And the Houthis basically have some long range missiles that mostly get shot down by Israel's aerosystem. And then finally, Israel made clear that they were probably two weeks away from complete military dominance over Gaza City, which was the only area of the Gaza Strip that was not under full Israeli military control. And it became clearer and clearer that the cordon was closing. And then Hamas gave up the ghost. That's what changed here. That's what changed here. And so obviously, President Trump deserves all the credit in the world for holding line, for understanding the incentive structures in the Middle east, for understanding that, yes, the only way to defeat terrorism is to destroy the terrorists and then remove all of their support structures in terms of finance, in terms of material, in terms of pr. President Trump understood that huge credit to the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu, who stood up to Joe Biden, as Joe Biden pressed him and pressed him and pressed him to lose the war in order to gain some sort of kind words from a feeble old man incapable of actually making the strong moves necessary to end the war. And full credit, most of all to the IDF and the IAF and everybody in Israel who has done unbelievable work for two years sacrificing sons and brothers and daughters and mothers, sacrificing not only lives but livelihoods for two long years in order to defeat their opposition. Huge credit to them and of course, credit to the United States Air Force for the bombing of Natanz. So good things only happen when strong men do the right thing. President Donald J. Trump is a strong man who did the right thing. He is a peacemaker. Because again, he said this during that campaign to me, he said it over and over. Peace through strength, not peace through weakness, not peace through concession, not peace through resolutions at the un. Peace through strength. Peace through strength works. And again, we're not at the end of this thing. It's unclear what happens next. But if those principles are held to, if everybody holds the line, then maybe Gaza becomes a better place. Maybe Gaza actually becomes a place where people want to live, where funding can go safely, where people can build things and have good lives, where people who don't want to have those good lives are swept away. Maybe that's what Gaza becomes. If not, then essentially Gaza will become like Janine or Nablus. Those are areas of the so called west bank in Judea and Samaria in which Israel has military overwatch in order to prevent terrorist attacks against itself. But one thing is absolutely clear. In the face of genocidal terror, the answer is not concession. The answer is not legitimization. The answer is not rationalization. The answer is destruction and removal of the support bases that these evil people rely upon to continue a war that not only killed 1200 Israelis on October 7th and took two hundred and fifty hostage and resulted in the death of another thousand Israelis and the wounding of thousands more Israelis over the course of this war, but subjected the people of Gaza to ruin. That was all on Hamas, all of it. Hamas could have done what it did today. Hamas could have done all of it by never starting this war in the first place. And they could have done it the day after starting the war. But instead they decided they would put the entire world and Palestinians and Israelis through misery and through hell. And the result is precisely the opposite of what they sought to achieve. A stronger Israel, a militarily powerful Israel, a far more united Israel in Israel that looks like it's about to make peace with a bunch of its neighbors. A more powerful United States because commas the United States as well. A United States with Donald J. Trump in charge. Make no mistake, the Hamas assault on Israel played a major, not a minor, a major role in the last election cycle because it was all of the radicals on campus deciding that they were going to go make asses of themselves that drove many Americans to say, any left that is okay with this cannot be given power. So, again, historic own goal by the people of Hamas. And again, congratulations to Israel and the United States. Congratulations to the people of Gaza who wish for peace. Congratulations to Prime Minister Netanyahu. Congratulations and credit again, to the great peacemaker Donald J. Trump. Congratulations to the Prime Minister of Israel. It is a very, very good day, as the President said, a very historic day. I know everybody in Israel is eager to welcome the President of the United States to Israel. They're very excited about seeing the President of the United States as well as other members of the cabinet. And everyone prays for a speedy and healthy conclusion to what has been a horrifying period of violence that ends in triumph for the right side. Meanwhile, what does all of this say about the state of the West? It means in the west, there's a huge block of people who are luxury belief terrorists who have been supporting terrorism for two years and more out of a luxurious belief that it will never affect them and that they somehow gain the moral high ground by supporting terrorism. On the anniversary of October 7, which was a grave day in Israel, and, and again for many people all around the world, actually, there are a bunch of protests that took place all over the world in favor of Hamas as the President was trying to negotiate a ceasefire. Now, by the way, you've seen no Palestinians or advocates for the Palestinians abroad celebrating President Trump's ceasefire. None. Zero. They don't exist. They all disappeared. Now, I'm not sure if I've ever heard of a genocide in world history in which the supposed victims of the genocide don't celebrate when it ends. Right? That's kind of telling, is it not? Shouldn't there be hundreds of thousands of these people in the streets celebrating Donald Trump for ending the war, for getting to a ceasefire, for stopping the. The carnage? Shouldn't they be celebrating? But they're not. Where are they? Why do they disappear? Because they didn't give a the entire time about the Palestinians. They didn't care about them at all. It was all just a weapon against Israel, because if they were truly concerned about the cost of war, they would be happy when it ends. Instead, they were protesting for the war to effectively continue on October 7th. Here was ABC News admitting that there was violence at pro Palestinian protests on the second anniversary of October 7th. This is ABC's Good Morning America.

C (42:24)

Demonstrators marked two years of war since the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. And in Boston, there were clashes with police. Boston police said 13 pro Palestinian demonstrators were arrested. Several officers were injured. A march from Boston Common called Students for justice in Palestine spilled into the street there, blocking traffic. The crowd waving Palestinian flags, throwing red colored powder into the air. Police said protesters turned on them, kicking a marked cruiser, setting off smoke flares and assaulting officers, two of them taken to the hospital with broken bones. Police used bikes to block the crowd and were seen arresting demonstrators on the ground. Here in New York, two protesters were arrested outside the Israeli consulate. Elsewhere in the city, dueling protests, one accusing Israel of loving war, another calling to release the hostages, chanted back and.

A (43:10)

Forth, okay, so again, notice those two contrasting messages at the very end. One says Israel loves war, and one is, release our hostages. The moral imbalance there is pretty amazing. And who are these people? They're a bunch of left wing scavengers. College students with sociology degrees who have decided they're going to stand with terrorism and stand with evil because their civilization is to blame for all the problems on earth. This is why you had protesters on October 7 shouting, Globalize the intifada. And let's not make any mistake. Zaramdani, the mayoral candidate in New York, put out a statement on October 7, and it is perfect. It's, it's letter perfect for what he is, which is a pro terror radical. Quote, two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. One thing you'll notice in the middle of the statement, there is not a word about Jews ever. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war, a death toll that now far exceeds 67,000. With the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals and schools into rubble, every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes. And our government must act to end those atrocities and hold Those responsible to account notice the full moral equivalence between Hamas and the IDF trying to avoid civilian casualties. And his call is for what? The destruction of the State of Israel. Because negotiations have been had before, they haven't ended particularly well. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer by modeling the very best. A relentless pursuit of our higher ideals on an unwavering commitment to universal human rights. Dude doesn't give a damn about universal human rights. All the areas that he's standing for are filled with some of the worst violations of human rights on planet earth. But that's what Zorn Mamdani is. He is the result of a luxury belief America, a luxury belief west that celebrates morons like Greta Thunberg, who put up a protest picture on October 7, a protest picture that said, quote, the suffering of Palestinian prisoners is not a matter of opinion. It is a fact of systematic cruelty and dehumanization. Humanity cannot be selective. Justice cannot have borders. She is an idiot. So she included in this graphic a picture of Evyatar David, who is an Israeli held by Hamas, looking like a Holocaust skeleton. Like, she couldn't. She couldn't even get that right. Because the truth doesn't matter. All that matters is the signaling. All that matters is the signaling. And you know what the reality is? The reality is the same people who murdered 1200 Israelis on October 7th would be happy to enter Western civilization and murder people in the west as well. Which is why we are now finding out at the knife wielding Islamist terrorist who attacked a UK synagogue on Yom Kippur. According to the New York Post, called the cops mid carnage Dubrag quote, I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State. Notice the language. Not I've killed two Israelis, Not I've killed two Zionists, I've killed two Jews. So. And civilizations that welcome this crap in, you can't say that they are not reaping what they sow. Meanwhile, President Trump, for his part, he's. He's just the best. He's the best Here. Here. He was ripping into Greta Thunberg when asked about it. I love. This is like insult comedy. Trump, when properly directed, is. Is like the best. Trump.

Well, she's just a troublemaker, you know, I mean, she's. You mean she's no longer into the environment now she's into this. She's a troublemaker. She has an anger management problem. I think she should see a doctor. She needs anger. If you ever watch her, she's a young person. She's so angry she's so crazy now you can have her. You can have. She's just a troublemaker.

A (47:12)

No, he is right. That is correct. Speaking of luxury beliefs, there, there are certain people on the left who are just like the apex predators of luxury beliefs. One of these people is Hasan Piker. Hasan Piker. We've commented on him before because the New York Times has tried to make him fetch. They keep putting him in their newspapers, on their, on their podcasts, pretending that he is apparently some sort of deep thinker. You know, the kind of deep thinker who has to write obituaries about Charlie Kirk from a man who has openly called for violence and supported pretty much every terror group on the planet, so long as it's oriented against the West. Well, it turns out that he apparently is not super nice to his dog. So this was a big controversy over the Jewish holiday. Apparently he has a dog named Kaya. Entering a recent stream, he was complaining about his Internet connection. He equated this with violence because everything is violence. Violence is violence. But so is a bad Internet connection according to fabled genius Hassan Piker. And then he yelled that he hates the country, he hates America, cuz his WI fi connection was not good enough in a studio that he pays for. And by the way, this, this socialist has a three million dollar mansion. And then his dog stands up and then he yells at the dog and then he appears to be reaching for something and the dog yelps. And then he yells at the dog again and then blames his mom for spoiling her. So this led to the, this led to the supposition that he had remote shocked his dog to get the dog to, to go back in place. If you can't see this, the dog is doing nothing. Now listen, I have a dog, okay? Our dog's name is Happy. He's a very cute dog. My kids love the dog more than I do. My wife loves the dog more than I do. I'm not like a huge dog person. You cannot treat an animal this way. That's ridiculous. That's just ridiculous. Like I'm not a warm and fuzzy guy with the dog. I would never treat our dog this way. Not in a million years would I treat our dog this way. Like the dog isn't peeing on him, the dog isn't crapping on the carpet. The dog, the dog literally gets up and moves a foot and he starts yelling at the dog and then reaches for something and the dog yelps. Now I know my dog. My dog does not yelp for no reason. Dogs don't just generally like yelp, especially a calm dog like this dog. This dog appears to be generally a pretty calm dog. Apparently he's on the stream a lot, so he's not like he's getting up and yelping all the time. He's not like a yappy dog. Now, as I say, I have a dog, but I'm not an expert on dogs, and thus I have asked an actual expert, our sponsors over at Comet, which is a project of perplexity, do house dogs normally yelp if they are yelled at but not zapped with an electronic collar, or do they generally yelp when hit with a jolt? And here is what comment tells me, quote, house dogs do not usually yelp simply from being yelled at. Their yelping response primarily occurs in situations where they experience sudden pain, significant surprise, or intense fear. Most dogs yelp when they are hit with a jolt from an electronic shock collar, as shocks can be painful or highly startling, especially if the collar intensity is high or the dog is sensitive. Dogs may cower, show submissive body language, or appear frightened when yelled at, but outright yelping is uncommon and typically only occurs if the yell deeply startles or scares them. Electronic collars often cause dogs to yelp due to the physical discomfort or pain of the electrical stimulus. So I'm not kind of believing Hasan's defense here. So here is, here's the footage, ok?

D (50:27)

It's the same reason as to why America. Kaya, please just go, Just stop, okay?

A (50:35)

The dog yelps and, like, jumps.

D (50:38)

Jesus Christ. What are you doing? You're being such a baby.

A (50:44)

I mean, I'm sorry.

D (50:46)

This is like you're making her stressed. I, I, she just literally is, is so incredibly spoiled. From my mom? No, she doesn't want to come over here to see what's up. She just wants to roam the house because she got to roam the house when I was gone. And she needs to literally have the same structured, regimented.

A (51:11)

What a bad person. Truly a bad person. Speaking of whiners, spoiled brats, Hasan Piker, like, number one on the list. My goodness. By the way, I mean, this is not the first time he's had some problems with the dog collar. Apparently not all that long ago he had to be chided by, by somebody on his own show because he kept the collar too tight on his dog.

E (51:31)

And now it's mainstream. I love her. I think her collar's too tight.

D (51:35)

You will, it's.

E (51:38)

You have to, you have to be able to get two fingers and I couldn't Even get one. I think you're choking her.

D (51:43)

She's like, it's, it's because she has a lot of neck meat.

A (51:49)

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. So piker has responded and then he says, no, no, no, no. It's just a buzz collar. It's not, it's not a shock collar. It wasn't set too high. So the dog apparently yelped for no reason. Can I just point out that even if he didn't zap the dog, him yelling at the dog for the great sin of moving while shouting about the violence of the Internet makes him one of the most spoiled people in the history of all of humanity. First of all, why is the dog even in the room? Seriously? Serious question. I've never done a show with an animal in the room. Because I'm doing a show and it's not the dog's responsibility not to disturb my show. It's a dog. It's my responsibility to put the dog in a position where the dog can live a normal life. Why is the dog supposed to like perch itself on this one foot square desk near Hassan Piker and, and just sit there for hours while the schmuck utters garbage into a microphone while playing video games. And here he was explaining he's the victim here, of course.

D (52:47)

This is the one that people are talking about. Ok, this is the one. This is the, this is the one that they saw. It has the capacity to vibrate and that's it. Are you happy? That's it. Good. There's the air tag, there's the fucking vibrator. It also uses. It also has a flashlight component to it at nighttime and it also has a tracker on it. When she gets lost, if she were to actually get lost, you are able to. It emits a sound. Ok.

A (53:36)

What A what? You know what, what a victim he is now has to walk away out of outrage that somebody has pointed out that he's not nice to his dog. I'm sorry. It's your fault. You were schmucked to your dog, dude. Not my fault, not anybody else's fault. That's, that's, that's your fault. Again, these luxury, these luxury communists. Luxury communism from these people, just unbelievable stuff. And again, they will just continue to humor the worst among them. Tim Kaine, the senator who was almost vice president. Remember that time that he ran for vice president? You didn't, did you? He was the guy who's on Hillary Clinton's ticket. I know you've forgotten about him already. Well, he's out there defending The Virginia Attorney general candidate, Jay Jones, you know, the one who said that he wanted to shoot his political opponents and called his opponents kids, little fascists. Here's Tim Kaine defending him.

B (54:19)

Do you think Jay Jones should drop.

A (54:20)

Out of the race in Virginia?

B (54:22)

You know, Jay has apologized. The statements that he made were indefensible. But I've known Jay Jones for 25 years. I think those statements were not in character. And he has apologized. I wish other people in public life would sincerely apologize for stuff. So, no, I, I still am a supporter.

A (54:40)

Unreal. Just well done. Well done, huh? You know, it's easy to be a Democrat these days. It truly is. Because there are, there are really no moral barriers you, you are not willing to cross on behalf of your ideology. And what that does lead to at a certain point is just being spoiled. Katie Porter, speaking of, of spoiled people. Now, listen, I've walked out of interviews. It was a bad idea. I famously walked out of an interview on the BBC where I'd been basically harangued by Andrew Neal for 20 minutes about bad old tweets. I got tired of it. I walked out. It was a bad move, it was stupid. But Katie Porter walked out of an interview. This is the congresswoman from California running for governor. She walked out of an interview because someone asked her how she was going to win Republicans in a gubernatorial race. She was not being harassed in any way. She just doesn't like answering basic questions. Pretty incredible stuff.

E (55:26)

What do you say to the 40% of California voters who you'll need in order to win who voted for Trump?

F (55:33)

How would I need them in order to win, ma'?

A (55:35)

Am?

E (55:36)

Well, unless you think you're going to get 60% of the vote. You think you'll get 60%?

A (55:40)

All.

E (55:41)

Everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you.

F (55:43)

That's what you're in a general election. Yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win. The people who did not vote for Trump.

E (55:51)

What if it's you versus another Democrat?

F (55:52)

I don't intend that to be the case.

E (55:54)

Well, to those voters. Okay, so.

A (55:56)

So you.

F (55:56)

I don't want to keep doing this. I'm going to call it. Thank you.

E (56:01)

You're not going to do the interview with us?

F (56:03)

Nope. Not like this, I'm not. Not with seven follow ups to every.

E (56:05)

Single question you ask every other candidate has answered.

F (56:09)

I don't care. I want to have a pleasant, positive conversation which you ask me about every issue on this list. And if every question you're going to make up a follow up question, then we're never going to get there and we're just going to circle around.

E (56:22)

I am an invisible.

F (56:23)

Had to do this before ever.

E (56:25)

Okay, why don't we go through? I will continue to ask follow up questions because that's my job as a journalist, but I will go through and ask these. And if you don't want to answer, you don't want to answer. So nearly every legislative I am.

F (56:37)

I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you and I don't want this all on camera.

E (56:41)

I don't want to have an unhappy experience with you either. I would love to continue to ask these questions so that we can show our viewers what every candidate feels about every one of these issues that they care about.

A (56:51)

About. Wow, wow, wow. And then she gets up and she leaves. Like just continues along and then it turns into a fist fight. Katie Porter this is what happens when you're not used to being asked difficult questions ever. Well, well done. Speaking of spoiled brats. Spoiled brats with luxury beliefs.
