| Just when I thought TV was all about non-partisan speech, I get hit with a curveball. | |
| I mean, no matter what channel I turn to, I get the same old screech. | |
| Take Wolf Blitzer of CNN. Tell me, would any non-aligned so-and-so urge the wholesale suffering of an entire people? | |
| Right now, we have more on the breaking news. | |
| The escalating political crisis in Venezuela, sparking street clashes that have left dozens of people injured and prompted the United States Embassy in Caracas to warn Americans to shelter in place. | |
| Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is joining us now from the State Department. | |
| Mr. Secretary, thanks so much for joining us. | |
| You bet, Wolf. Great to be with you, sir. | |
| There's a lot of violence going on right now. | |
| We've been showing these images, horrible images, all day of what's happening on the streets of Caracas and elsewhere in Venezuela right now. | |
| It looks like it's continuing. | |
| So once again, how much more violent does it have to get before the U.S. intervenes? | |
| The United States stands ready, as we do in many places in the world, to support democracy and freedom. | |
| Not sure how bombing the daylights out of Venezuela supports democracy, especially when it's about replacing an elected leader with an imperialist puppet. | |
| Haven't we been down this road before? | |
| Who believes this crap anymore? | |
| For with this wonderful democracy... | |
| Soldiers opened fire, killing more than 50 Palestinians, including eight children. | |
| The world has witnessed nothing but bloodshed on every page ever since democracy there took center stage. | |
| You bet, Wolf. Carnage again, this time in Caracas. | |
| How violent does it have to get before the U.S. does unleash a military option? | |
| How violent here does it have to get, huh Blitzy? | |
| Change the channel, please. | |
| Same odious, vile, and nauseating stuff. | |
| Now we have the Mueller report now, although we still haven't heard from the man himself, and I think the first priority has to be get Mueller before the Congress and the American people. | |
| Are you convinced that's going to happen? I am convinced it's going to happen. | |
| It's a drag, man. | |
| Americans have been suffering from Mueller report fatigue for over two years now. | |
| Go pop your eyes instead on something populist, like how we can motivate young men and women to get married via affordable stand-alone housing incentives where they can give birth to children and raise a family. | |
| That's how America was built, stabilized, and grew morally and economically. | |
| But Schiff represents California, which is about to pass a rezoning law that allows multi-unit housing structures in single-family homes, suburban neighborhoods and towns. | |
| So I turned the channel to BBC. Is this hate speech? | |
| With Mr. Obama, you said you're a Jewish yourself. | |
| I only mention that because I put this in context. | |
| The Jews who vote for Obama are, by and large, Jews in name only. | |
| Jynos, you call them. | |
| My statement was based on the fact that Jews in the United States, as an ethnic group, are largely irreligious. | |
| Right, Ben. So why do Jews keep saying, God, in whom you allude Jews don't believe in, gave us the land of Israel? | |
| Hmm? Play it again, Ben. | |
| The point that I'm making is that most Jews who are ethnically Jewish are not religiously Jewish in any context. | |
| No, no, no. The point you were making is that Jews who vote for Obama are Jews in name only. | |
| I said that yes, that is correct. | |
| The Jews who voted for Barack Obama, a progenitor of the Iran deal, a person who was cracking down on religious liberty, a person who spent much of his career as President of the United States attempting to deprive Israel of the necessities to defend itself, I beg your pardon, but Obama promised Israel a rose garden, for with his Memorandum of Understanding, which gave Israel a sweetheart deal of $3.3 billion annually for 10 years, along with millions bolstering Israel's military, | |
| one could hardly charge Obama with being a miser when it came to opening up the U.S. Treasury to the Jewish state. | |
| Then, Ben, your man Trump rubber-stamped Obama's largesse, adding some choice plums to the military aid package. | |
| I mean, seriously, is this taking Judaism seriously? | |
| Did you say they should turn their badge in as a Jew? | |
| Yes, I believe that if you are somebody who takes Judaism seriously, that comes along with ideological commitment. | |
| Giving money to Israel, which engages, as many observe, in ethnic cleansing, violence, and theft of Palestinian property, is an ideological commitment tied to the religion of Judaism? |
