Well the virus has now killed more than a hundred people in China and new cases have been confirmed around the world. | |
| You don't want to frighten the American public. | ||
| France and South Korea have also got evacuation plans. | ||
| But you need to prepare for and assume. | ||
| Broadly warning Americans to avoid all non-essential travel to China. | ||
| This is going to be a real serious problem. | ||
| France, Australia, Canada, the US, Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam, the list goes on. | ||
| Health officials are investigating more than 100 possible cases in the US. | ||
| Germany, a man has contracted the virus. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| Japan, where a bus driver contracted the virus. | ||
| Coronavirus has killed more than 100 people there and infected more than 4,500. | ||
| We have to prepare for the worst, always. | ||
| Because if you don't, then the worst happens. | ||

War Room. | |
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Live from the occupied nation's capital, it's the 54th day of our occupation by troops. | ||
| We had the FBI director today testifying. | ||
| Not very much clearer. | ||
| There'll be a complete analysis of that tomorrow on the show. | ||
| I'm joined by my co-host Raheem Kassam, my wingman and also commander Eric Greitens joins us, former governor of Missouri. | ||
| You're in the War Room. | ||
| It's Tuesday, the 2nd of March, the year of our Lord 2021. | ||
| Now with over 38 million downloads on the podcast on the Real America's Voice channel, Dischannel 219, Comcast Channel 113. | ||
| Of course, they're the streaming service of the Trump Revolution. | ||
| We're also on Rumble. | ||
| Gab, Pluto, Vizio, Roku, every platform out there, Instagram, also on GNews, GTV, in Mandarin, blown through the firewall later in the day, so Lao Bai Jing, the deplorables of China. | ||
| Can listen to and embrace the sound of freedom as we help assist them in their struggle for freedom. | ||
| Also now in our second day at WMLB, AM 1690 in Atlanta, in Metro Atlanta. | ||
| Very honored to be part of the John Frederick Radio Network down there as we expand throughout the South and the Southwest and Intermountain West of the United States. | ||
| Very special show today. | ||
| Rahim and I have actually done this before over the years. | ||
| We're doing a special today. | ||
| We're going to fit some news in, but we're doing some special on the persecution of the Jews of Europe and the global rise of anti-Semitism. | ||
| We've got an absolute packed show. | ||
| Rahim, so honored to be doing this again with you. | ||
| I know when you started this years ago when I met you, you actually started fighting anti-semitism in London that led to your amazing, really, kind of global recognition as one of the anti-jihad fighters and also Commander Greitens, the first Jewish governor of Missouri in the 195-year history of the great state of Missouri and a decorated Navy SEAL. | ||
| Rahim, first of all, we've got some breaking news out of Texas before we get to Rabbi Sparon. | ||
| What is it? | ||
| Big news today out of Texas. | ||
| The news is Texas is open. | ||
| Governor Abbott today, this afternoon, issued an executive order lifting the mask mandate in Texas and increasing capacity of all businesses and facilities in the state to 100%. | ||
| He said, and I quote, with the medical advancements of vaccines And Antibody Therapeutic Drugs Texas now has the tools to protect Texans from the virus. | ||
| We must now do more to restore livelihoods and normalcy for Texans by opening Texas 100%. | ||
| Make no mistake COVID-19 has not disappeared but is clear from the recoveries, vaccinations, reduced hospitalizations and safe practices. | ||
| The Texans are using that state mandates are no longer needed. | ||
| It's the 41st day. | ||
| We have not had a press conference unaccompanied press briefing by President or by Joe Biden. | ||
| Maybe tomorrow, Jen Psaki can answer about about what Abbott did. | ||
| OK, I want to turn now to Rabbi Sparrow, who is a contributor here and one of our favorite guests. | ||
| Author of Pushback, now retitled, The Battle to Save America's Judeo-Christian Heritage. | ||
| It is a must-read book. | ||
| Rabbi, to start this special on the global rise of anti-Semitism, could we ask you to please lead us in prayer? | ||
| Dear friends, let us pray that what we do going forward brings success to our efforts for life, liberty, And the pursuit of happiness. | ||
| Most of us listening here are involved in politics, not because we love politics for politics sake, but because it is the best avenue we know to bring to bear the conservative principles and time tested traditions that result in a prosperous nation. | ||
| A place for biblical religious freedom, a place for the sacred, strong individuals, a place for a wholesome family life and genuine opportunity. | ||
| In America, we believe that our rights come from God and that our destiny is intertwined with seeking his will. | ||
| Help us, O Lord, in our battle for the soul of America and in keeping strong the Judeo-Christian outlook and heritage that made us a moral nation with citizens imbued with courage to stand against evil and moral relativism. | ||
| We are proud to be Americans and blessed to be your servants. | ||
| And let us say, amen. | ||
| Amen. | ||
| Rabbi, you have a better feel, I think, for America First and for the MAGA movement and really the underpinnings of it. | ||
| But I'd like to ask you today, what is your take on the politics of this current kind of global rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Semitism in the United States of America? | ||
| You know, there's anti-Semitism from the right, which we're familiar with for many, many decades. | ||
| But now we have a much more dangerous and pervasive anti-Semitism, and it comes from the left. | ||
| The anti-Semitism from Nazis or neo-Nazis, it is troublesome. | ||
| But everybody is against neo-Nazis and all of our law enforcement and the media, the popular culture, academia. | ||
| They're all against right-wing anti-Semitism that's Nazi-like or anti-Semitism that's against Jews simply because they have a different religion or they're a different race. | ||
| America doesn't accept these things. | ||
| What is dangerous today and what will really hurt the Jewish people in every nook and cranny Is the anti-Semitism coming from the left wing all done in the name of social justice and done in the name of intersectionality? | ||
| And I want to tell you, Steve, why it's so dangerous. | ||
| Because it carries this halo of social justice. | ||
| It is advanced and it's pushed by the media. | ||
| There's something wonderful. | ||
| It's pushed by academia. | ||
| It's pushed in the government. | ||
| It's popular. | ||
| Our young people are into intersectionality, which I'll describe in a second. | ||
| Social justice. | ||
| Whatever Black Lives Matter does, when they went through Los Angeles, downtown in the Fairfax, La Brea, Fairfax area, and they were just, they were damaging synagogues. | ||
| Or they have a platform that is anti-Israel, anti-Jewish. | ||
| That all is somehow overlooked because it's done in the name of social justice. | ||
| And just like there's a cancel culture against conservatives and Republicans, there is from the left a certain cancel culture against Jews who support Israel. | ||
| And this is going to affect young people at college campuses. | ||
| It already has. | ||
| You have groups, Muslim groups, some left-wing groups. | ||
| that are continually harassing Jewish students on campus who support Israel. | ||
| You have, in academia, Jewish professors who are cancelled, they're fired because they are Zionists. | ||
| And this is the anti-Semitism from the left. | ||
| It's overlooked. | ||
| Matter of fact, it's given a stamp of approval. | ||
| And I want to mention what is behind this. | ||
| Leftism, which is globalism, transnationalism, communism, universalism, that everything is the same. | ||
| That's what leftism is about. | ||
| Borders are not important. | ||
| Countries are not important. | ||
| Nationhood is not important. | ||
| Religion isn't good. | ||
| Leftism hates those things that are distinct. | ||
| Well, there's nothing more distinct than the land of Israel, which is a biblical land. | ||
| God's land. | ||
| There's nothing more distinct than America, which is a land built uniquely on the Judeo-Christian ethos. | ||
| So the people on the left, they disdain things that are distinct, like Israel and like the United States. | ||
| And of course, Jews are a distinct people. | ||
| And because they have this animus for things that are distinctive, That's why there's so much anti-Israel and anti-Jewishness on the left, and it will affect Jewish people far, far more on a daily basis than the anti-Semitism on the right, which everybody's against. | ||
| Rabbi, what do you think we can do as Americans to combat this? | ||
| As I always say, when we see what's happening here, we must speak out. | ||
| The cancelling of conservatives, the cancelling of Republicans, it's all part of the same thing as cancelling things that have to do with Zionism or Israel or religious Orthodox Jews. | ||
| It's all part of it. | ||
| We have to speak out against it and not be intimidated, not allow the bullies on the left to somehow silence us and accept the unacceptable because they're doing it in the name of social Justice. | ||
| We have to speak out that way. | ||
| But there is something I would like to mention, and I don't think you expected to hear this. | ||
| I'm saying this maybe for the first time. | ||
| We have to not only stop promoting left-wing politics, we have to demonstrate to the public that it's precisely left-wing politics that is dangerous and ends up not only in anti-Americanism, anti-whiteness, But anti-Semitism. | ||
| And this is my plea to the Jewish community. | ||
| So many in the Jewish community are involved financially, ideologically, in left-wing politics. | ||
| But they have to know that down the road, inevitably, the left-wing liberal politics culminates in anti-Semitism. | ||
| And so, unfortunately, when you support that, my fellow Jews, you are digging your own grave. | ||
| That's something that must be said. | ||
| Rabbi Rahim Kassam here. | ||
| You got there before I was actually going to jump in on that very same point because nowadays we often hear about anti-semitism within the confines of an argument about George Soros or something like that. | ||
| It's media matters and these guys who will kind of weaponize the term anti-semitism actually to defend against Uh, secular people who were born Jews but don't necessarily embrace Judaism or are actively anti-Israel in their, in their, in how they spend their money or do their politics. | ||
| So I want to understand from, from you Rabbi, you know, what, how How does it feel to see something so sacred, I think, as, you know, the phrase anti-Semitism? | ||
| Because, you know, with anti-Semitism we say never again. | ||
| We say never again. | ||
| And they weaponize this over and over again as a political cudgel to beat their opponents with. | ||
| How does that sit with you? | ||
| It's obscene and it's exploitative. | ||
| George Soros was never known as a friend of the Jewish people. | ||
| He's half Jewish, and you know of his involvement in cooperating with the Nazis during World War II against Jewish people, and he said it was the most exciting period of his life. | ||
| He has been notoriously anti-Israel. | ||
| He's not a synagogue or a temple goer. | ||
| He's been against so many of the causes of Zionism and Judaism. | ||
| Yet, when the left wants to silence us, For criticizing, and we have a right to criticize, his immense participation in bringing down America and other Western countries. | ||
| When we do that, they start to scream, the left, anti-Semitism. | ||
| George Soros never in his life stuck up for anything Jewish. | ||
| He actually hurt Jewish projects and Jewish causes. | ||
| They're exploiting, as you say, a sacred phrase that should be used to save innocent Jews They're exploiting it in behalf of their leftist politics and agenda. | ||
| It's shameful. | ||
| Rabbi, how do people get your book? | ||

| Steve, it's our country we have to fight for. | ||
| Rabbi, thank you so much for starting off with prayer and your wisdom. | ||
| We thank you very much, sir. | ||
| Okay, we're going to take a short commercial break. | ||
| Commander Gritens will be up next. | ||

We've also got Ellie Cohan, Special Envoy. | |
| Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room. | ||
| Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Remember, our fifth type of distribution of the podcast, over 38 million downloads, and the reason is because the audience, this is a global audience and the most powerful audience in all media because you're activists. | ||
| Our special today is the persecution of the Jews in Europe and the global rise of anti-Semitism. | ||
| We have an all-star. | ||
| Cass, real quickly, my co-host Eric Greitens, a dear friend, Commander Greitens, you're, in 195 years, the first Jewish governor of the great state of Missouri. | ||
| Yes, sir. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And your biggest, you're deplorable. | |
| MAGA, America First. | ||
| Correct me if I'm wrong, your biggest turnouts were in the rural areas, Ozarks, Southeast Missouri. | ||
| 100%. | ||
| Ozarks, Southeast Missouri, everybody came out. | ||
| They were working for us. | ||
| The New York Times and the Washington Post tell me that can't happen. | ||
| That you could not draw from working class people in those areas of the country. | ||
| That's impossible. | ||
| Look, it was the working class people in the state of Missouri who came out to fight for us. | ||
| And they fought for us every day because we were willing to fight for them. | ||
| They recognized it. | ||
| That's why they fought for President Trump. | ||
| That's why they came out. | ||
| And we had people, Steve, who'd never been involved in politics before. | ||
| They didn't even think of themselves as political people, but they came out, they fought for us, and to touch on Rabbi Spiro's point, the greatest support for the State of Israel across all of Missouri was right there with those folks, a lot of church-going, solid Americans who are behind the State of Israel. | ||
| Big time. | ||
| I'm now honored to bring in Ellie Kohanan. | ||
| She was the deputy to Ilan Carr, the special envoy. | ||
| for monitoring and combating anti-Semitism in the Trump administration. | ||
| Ellie, the question I have is that in the Trump administration, and Rabbi Sparrow touched on this, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. | ||
| Tell us what the fight was during your time there in the Trump administration on this topic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Hi, Steve. | |
| So, I just want to let you know that the Trump administration broke ground where no previous administration had before. | ||
| And it was our policy that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. | ||
| And so with that policy, Steve, we really took the dispute about whether the Jews have a right to a homeland, you know, straight to the White House. | ||
| And so this was a policy that we enforced globally all around the world. | ||
| And you also saw it domestically in President Trump's executive order of December 2019. | ||
| Which for the first time gave Jewish Americans Title VI protection, specifically for college students who are really the ones at the forefront of the battle in dealing with all the hatred towards the Jewish State of Israel. | ||
| Tell us how that is on these college campuses, particularly the big, what I call the public ivies, you know, Berkeley, University of Michigan, these great schools, UCLA. | ||
| Why do you say they're on the front line? | ||
| Why are they on the front line of this battle about the state of Israel? | ||
|
unidentified
|
So Steve, I don't think Americans can understand what's happening on our campuses, where if a Jewish student even tries to be pro-Israel and tries to identify with their Jewish heritage, they sometimes face physical violence. | |
| We've seen a number of Jewish AEPIs and other fraternities and sororities face attacks and swastikas painted on them and so on. | ||
| Also, Jewish students are specifically excluded from participating in student government and other student activities simply for saying that they support the Jewish State of Israel, which again is part of being a Jew. | ||
| It's part of the Jewish heritage. | ||
| So basically, Jewish students are the only students on U.S. | ||
| campuses who are not allowed to have any connection to their natural history and their heritage. | ||
| One other item I just want to point out on that is that there's this accusation against Jews in this country that Jews have white privilege. | ||
| It's such a complete misnomer of Jewish history, because as we all know, the Jewish story starts in the Middle East. | ||
| Someone like myself, I was born in Iran. | ||
| And so the Jewish story starts in the Middle East. | ||
| Abraham is in modern-day Iraq, and then he's commanded to go to Israel. | ||
| So this is where Jews come from. | ||
| Jews are a Semitic people, and this notion that Jews have white privilege has become this complete accusation against Jews, and Jews are the only minority in this country who the left just completely Um, silences and refuses to actually acknowledge the fact that Jews are the most persecuted people in all of history. | ||
| You know, it's really interesting that you say that because it was just yesterday I heard this leaked audio from this clubhouse room where we talked, we touched upon it this morning. | ||
| And what was said on that chat, I think it was Brett Weinstein who was talking about You know, being anti-racist and being a liberal, but people were trying to put him through this struggle session, and when he said, look, I'm not white, I'm Jewish, and I don't know how you lot look at it, and somebody said to him, it was one of the kind of BLM activists who were on the call, said to him, Jewish is just spicy white. | ||
| Wow. | ||
| That was the phrase that was used. | ||
| I see they're using the Israeli national flag now. | ||
| They're saying it's like a white nationalist flag. | ||
| LA, we're going to do an expanded version of this. | ||
| We are pressed for time. | ||
| But I've got to ask you, because you were there. | ||
| You were in the Trump administration. | ||
| You were the deputy of the special envoy. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Talk to us briefly. | |
| The president, they really don't talk about the Abraham Accords. | ||
| It is breathtaking what you people accomplish. | ||
| And, you know, the mainstream media doesn't want to cover it. | ||
| Just quickly walk through so our audience fully understands. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely, Steve. | |
| So, you're 100% right, and I will tell you this, Steve. | ||
| What you have in 2020 is a new Middle East. | ||
| with Mike Pompeo on the Abraham Accords. Absolutely, Steve. | ||
|
unidentified
|
So you're 100% right, and I will tell you this, Steve. What you have in 2020 is a new Middle East. | |
| The Biden administration has inherited a new Middle East, and they just have to acknowledge that fact. | ||
| So, you know, after, since the creation of the State of Israel, the Arab neighbors of Israel have rejected her. | ||
| President Trump, Jared Kushner, Senior Advisor Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Avi Berkowitz, the leadership of the Trump administration, they changed the entire region because they helped Israel's Arab neighbors understand, number one, that Israel is here to stay. | ||
| And also that Israel, as the homeland of Abraham, of the father of the three Abrahamic religions, has a right to be in the region, right? | ||
| Jews are indigenous to the region. | ||
| And so what we saw, Steve, is that the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, then Sudan, then Morocco, all have embraced Israel. It's a warm peace in contrast to Egypt and Jordan, right, who had a cold peace with Israel. It's a warm peace. And I want to tell you something, Steve. | ||
| I was actually in the Gulf this last December for Hanukkah, was my last trip in office. | ||
| And I saw this warm embrace myself. I saw Emiratis allowing a public celebration of Hanukkah in the most public space, the Burj al-Khalifa, which is like the Times Square of the Middle East. And so the Middle East is a whole new region from when Barack Obama left it in 2016. It's really incumbent on the Biden administration to help move the More and more of Israel's neighbors to normalize ties. | ||
| It's also incumbent upon the Biden administration to take all the wins of the maximum pressure campaign against Iran, which is the number one state sponsor of anti-Semitism in the world, and stop with the unilateral concessions that we're making and really hold the Iranians accountable. | ||
| So those are, you know, those are my pieces of advice for the next administration. | ||
| If you really want to stop global anti-Semitism, Then help the world accept the Jewish State of Israel, because so much of the anti-Semitism today emanates from the hatred of the Jew among nations, which is Israel. | ||
| Ali, what's your social media coordinates? | ||
| How do people follow you during the day and get to know your writings and your thinking more? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Well, I have to say that I just received a fellowship from the Independent Women's Forum, so I hope they'll look me up there, and also on Twitter, I'm at Ellie Kohanem, it's just my name, just like you've got it on the screen, at Ellie Kohanem, and I would love for followers, and I would love to continue the conversation. | |
| Okay, I want to put that in the live chat. | ||
| Ellie, thank you very much for joining us here on our special. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Thank you. | |
| You served, you served there, Commander Greitens. | ||
| Tell us. | ||
| Yeah, look, I served in the Middle East, and Ellie is exactly right. | ||
| Trump transformed the Middle East. | ||
| The greatest president for Israel since Harry Truman actually first recognized the State of Israel. | ||
| Ellie talked about some of the achievements with the Abraham Accords. | ||
| Keep in mind also, we've talked on this show before, President Trump After decades of promises, finally got in and he actually moved the American embassy to Jerusalem. | ||
| He also recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is all of our listeners and viewers know, incredibly important strategic part of land in between Syria and Israel. | ||
| He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for it. | ||
| He should receive it. | ||
| Also, the left-wing media told us for years about moving the embassy to the capital of Jerusalem and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. | ||
| The Arab Street would explode. | ||
| You would have embassies taken over. | ||
| You couldn't do it. | ||
| But let me add, it wasn't just the left wing. | ||
|
unidentified
|
It was actually the Republican Forum Policy Establishment as well! | |
| You're saying a few Republican presidents committed to it in a platform but never pulled the trigger. | ||
| Never actually did it. | ||
| Why was that? | ||
| And you had all of this Republican establishment warning, if you actually follow through on that promise, you're gonna cause World War III, all of the Arab nations are gonna be upset, etc. | ||
| But what President Trump did is interesting. | ||
| It's the same thing Harry Truman did. | ||
| When Harry Truman recognized the State of Israel, he had tremendous opposition in the State Department. | ||
| He actually had to oppose his own Secretary of State, a man who was an American hero, George Marshall. | ||
| But Truman stood up for the State of Israel. | ||
| In the same way, President Trump not only had to oppose leftist voices on foreign policy, he had to oppose a lot of the Republican establishment who is warning him against this. | ||
| He did it. | ||
| It was the right move. | ||
| It was a bold move. | ||
| And we can see now, we've seen peace last time you had. | ||
| Peacefully, a signing of an accord, 1994. | ||
| Why is there crickets on this, on the Abraham Accords, Rahim Ghassan? | ||
| I'll give you about 30 seconds. | ||
| Well, look, I actually know more about, you know, the history of this stuff, and I wanted to pick back up on something that Rabbi Sparrow said very quickly, is what is this hatred about? | ||
| Where does it come from? | ||
| Where does all this stem from? | ||
| And it just reminded me, and I'm just doing this in real time here, About the idea of the nation, right? | ||
| This is what the left really hates. | ||
| It's the idea of any nation. | ||
| And actually, if people go and want to clue themselves up on this, go and read Orwell's Notes on Nationalism. | ||
| It's a very short essay, but it will sort of give you a reading into why anything where communities of people are coming together like that, the left loathes. | ||
| Okay, short commercial break. | ||
| We'll return with God Saad, with Matthew Terman, Dov Hinken, and my two co-hosts in a second, War Room Pandemic. | ||
|

|
War Room Pandemic with Stephen K. Bannon. | |
| The epidemic is a demon and we cannot let this demon hide. | ||
| War Room Pandemic. | ||
| Here's your host, Stephen K. Bannon. | ||
| Alright, welcome back to the War Room this Tuesday, March the 2nd, Year O Lord 2021, live from Capitol Hill. | ||
| We're going to bring in Dr. Gad Saad in just a second, but I wanted to just convey to the audience, you know, why we're doing this and why we care so much, and I'll speak for myself. | ||
| You know, I grew up in a London which became increasingly, with the advent of radical Islam and the demographic shift in my home city, a very hostile place, especially for Orthodox and religious Jews. | ||
| Which is why Rabbi Sparrow's answer about the anti-Israel, anti-Jewish secularists Who actually hide behind antisemitism, use it as a shield, but actually attack Jews in their day-to-day lives, and with their money, and with their policies, was such an important answer. | ||
| And I grew up in a London where I just saw the, you know, not just the most heinous stuff on a street level, But I actually worked with some of the leading organizations from the Board of Deputies of British Jews, who now have caved to globalist pressure and now call me an anti-Semite, by the way. | ||
| But we worked together back in the day. | ||
| I worked with the Embassy of Israel in the United Kingdom. | ||
| Some of them I still work with. | ||
| I gave speeches for them. | ||
| I spoke on university campuses across the country about this subject. | ||
| I rooted out antisemitism on my university campus when I was at the University of Westminster growing up. | ||
| I worked with the Conservative Friends of Israel group and helped to, from a media perspective, educate audiences about the relationship that the United Kingdom had With the Jewish state, but also at a proper establishment level. | ||
| I actually was one of the only people in the world who has forced the Times newspaper to issue an apology and correction and retraction. | ||
| The Times of London. | ||
| Oh, I get apologies from the New York Times all the time. | ||
| They do not do that, but they do not do that often. | ||
| And actually, in this instance, they had published a cartoon which was a blood libel. | ||
| And Rupert Murdoch himself had to come out and apologize, and that was on the back of my reporting. | ||
| So I consider this issue incredibly important. | ||
| I'm delighted to welcome into the conversation now Dr. Gadsad is the author of The Parasitic Mind, How Infectious Ideas Are Killing Common Sense. | ||
| Steve is holding up a copy of the book. | ||
| Because I'm just about to give it to my favorite Navy commander. | ||
| I've been telling him about this. | ||
| I'm about to give it to my Navy. | ||
| You've got to read this. | ||
| Thank you, sir. | ||
| I will. | ||
| I will. | ||
| Commander Gritens. | ||
| It's an incredible book. | ||
| Thank you so much for joining us here. | ||
| Douglas, I wanted to ask you, because we talked about a lot of things with you, and you and I have spoken offline, but we've never really broached this issue together. | ||
| You're Jewish, and you grew up in Lebanon. | ||
| I wonder if you could tell us a little bit about your experiences. | ||
| Thanks for having me back, guys. | ||
| Yeah, so we were part of the last group of Lebanese Jews that had steadfastly refused to leave Lebanon. | ||
| Most of our extended family had left Lebanon prior to the civil war. | ||
| But in 1975, the civil war broke out, It became really precarious and difficult, if not impossible, to be Jewish. | ||
| And so we faced the first year of the civil war in Lebanon, saw some really horrible things that no person should see in 10 lifetimes. | ||
| And then we left to Montreal. | ||
| My parents kept returning to Lebanon for the next few years. | ||
| And in 1980, they were kidnapped by Fatah, and we presume that they were probably executed by a miracle. | ||
| We were able to rescue them. | ||
| And so I grew up in the context of endemic Jew hatred, even in what was called then You know, the Paris of the Middle East and the progressive country in the Middle East. | ||
| Jew hatred defined every interaction that you could think of. | ||
| If it's sunny today, it's the Jews. | ||
| If it's rainy today, it's the Jews. | ||
| If you get diabetes, it's the Jews. | ||
| If your wife cheats on you, it's the Jews. | ||
| Everything is viewed through the prism of the diabolical duplicitous Jew. | ||
| It's unbelievable. | ||
| Dr. Saad, I know you have some personal things that have been sent to you that you want to share with the audience, and I think it's incredibly important that people understand what this stuff looks like. | ||
| So it's ugly, we're going to keep it clean here, but would you share with us some of your personal experiences? | ||
| Right, so I mean you would think that having escaped the genocidal Jew hatred of Lebanon and having moved to the West, I might be then spared the Jew hatred. | ||
| So these are Some screenshots I took of stuff that was sent to me. | ||
| This was about, I think, in 2017. | ||
| So there is a word that's sort of the equivalent of the N-word for Jews. | ||
| It's K-I-K-E-S. | ||
| So K-I-K-E-S are non-human. | ||
| They are parasites. | ||
| Please jump in an oven. | ||
| Life will be better for all of us. | ||
| I love skinning Jews alive, boiling them alive and burning hot oil and butchering them and their families like animals. | ||
| What a disgusting, fat, blank Jew you are. | ||
| Obey or face the consequences. | ||
| In brackets, gas chamber. | ||
| And then one final one, my preferred pronoun is gas the K word. | ||
| So that gives you some of the love that I received from my good friends, the Jew haters. | ||
| Professor, was that for any actions you took? | ||
| Was that supporting Trump or coming out supporting Israel? | ||
| Or is that just the normal course of business? | ||
| What brought this vitriol onto you? | ||
| I think, I can't, I don't know for sure, but I think that these particular, because they all happened, these ones around the same time, I had been scheduled to appear at an event with Jordan Peterson, and it was shut down at Ryerson University. | ||
| And then it was rescheduled a couple of months later, and there was a woman by the name of Faith Goldie who was supposed to appear on the panel, but the organizer decided to not bring her on because apparently she had become divisive. | ||
| All of these sort of neo-Nazi types thought that it was me who had stopped it from her coming on the thing, because you know the Jew is always scheming. | ||
| And so even though I repeatedly explained that I had nothing to do with that decision, they didn't believe it. | ||
| They had to boil the Jew. | ||
| Let me tell you one quick story from my time as governor. | ||
| So as you pointed out, Steve, I'm the first Jewish governor of the state of Missouri, and when I was governor in February of 2017, we had a really despicable act of vandalism in a historic Jewish cemetery. | ||
| Here's what I did. | ||
| I went out on social media and I said, you know what guys, tomorrow I'm going to be at the cemetery. | ||
| I'm going to be there. | ||
| I'm going to help to clean it up. | ||
| And you know what? | ||
| Anybody's welcome to join me. | ||
| And we went out and we made calls. | ||
| We made calls To Catholics in Missouri. | ||
| We made calls to evangelicals. | ||
| We made calls to Hindus. | ||
| We made calls to Buddhists. | ||
| We showed up the next day. | ||
| There were thousands of Missourians who were out there supporting us to clean up that historic Jewish cemetery. | ||
| And you know who called me that day? | ||
| President Trump. | ||
| President Trump. | ||
|
unidentified
|
And this is when the media was attacking President Trump in this completely nonsensical way. | |
| He's out there. | ||
| He calls and he says, you know what? | ||
| Because he's anti-Semitic. | ||
|
unidentified
|
Right. | |
| Right. | ||
| Exactly. | ||
| This is craziness. | ||
| And he says, thank you for doing what you're doing. | ||
| He says, this is the way. | ||
| This is the way we bring Americans together. | ||
| He says, don't worry about the media. | ||
| Get out there, bring everybody together, make the country better. | ||
| That's what we did. | ||
| God, we pressed for time, but I've just got a question because we're going to do an expanded version of this in the days and weeks ahead. | ||
| What can Americans do? | ||
| What can this audience do that really holds you in high esteem because of the book, The Parasite Combined, and your writings that they're getting to know you? | ||
| What can this audience do to combat this? | ||
| To combat sort of open Jew hatred? | ||
| Is that what you're asking? | ||
| Yeah, anti-Semitism and Jew hatred. | ||
| I think you can't allow it to become normalized, right? | ||
| A lot of people, so to take a point that I make in the parasitic mind, activate your inner honey badger. | ||
| If you see bigotry, fight against it, right? | ||
| Don't be quiet. | ||
| Don't walk away from it. | ||
| Because the health of a society is judged in part by the tolerance that you afford this kind of open hatred. | ||
| And so the Jews are truly the proverbial, you know, canary in the coal mine. | ||
| If we normalize Jew hatred, Believe me, the hatred will then metamorphosize this to someone else, to some other group. | ||
| So, fight against it. | ||
| Don't tolerate it. | ||
| Argue against it. | ||
| God, thank you very much. | ||
| The author of the Parasigma. | ||
| What's your social media and how do people get the book? | ||
| Because the book's amazing. | ||
| Everybody's got to read it. | ||
| Thank you so much, Steve. | ||
| You can get it on Amazon. | ||

You can reach me on at dadsad on Twitter. | |
| Hope you will connect with me. | ||
| And thank you again for having me, guys. | ||
| Thanks, brother. | ||
| Appreciate it. | ||
| And I posted non-Amazon LinkedIn to the telegram as well. | ||
| No, people don't like it! | ||
| You're such a... Good! | ||
| It's a new ecosystem. | ||
| Straight to the publisher, straight to Regnery, you can get it there as well. | ||
| Do we have Dov Hicken? | ||
| Now, Dov is taking action, a former Democratic Assemblyman in the state of New York, but he's also founded The Americans Against Antisemitism, and I think this past weekend he was protesting outside of Saturday Night Live, which I know a lot of Trump supporters would like to join Dov in. | ||
| Dov, thank you very much for joining us on our special, The Global Rise of Antisemitism, and thank you so much for starting Americans Against Antisemitism. | ||
| Can you tell us what the organization is about and where you're taking this fight? | ||

Well, it's exactly what it says, to be proud, to be strong, To have one standard when it comes to hate? | |
| You know, you can't just speak out for Democrats when it's coming from the right. | ||
| You have to speak out wherever it's coming from. | ||
| And unfortunately, that has not been the case with regard to the Democratic Party. | ||
| They love to attack people on the right, but they don't look in the mirror to see what's going on in the Democratic Party and among people who support Democrats. | ||
| You know, we're out there. | ||
| It's not just about talk. | ||
| It's not just about issuing a press release. | ||
| Those things are important. | ||
| But it is also to take the fight to the streets, as I did when I confronted Talib at Rutgers University not that long ago. | ||
| You got to be strong. | ||
| You got to be tough. | ||
| You got to have one standard when it comes to hate in this country. | ||
| We have a situation of unprecedented incidents of anti-Semitism. | ||
| Happening in America like like we've never seen before you know I was in the legislature in New York for 36 years Yeah, we had problems. | ||
| We had issues. | ||
| I have never seen anything like this, and I just want to mention to you My mother went to Auschwitz in 1944 with her mother with brothers sisters nephews and nieces and this is what it's all about to me because my I never had grandparents and The only crime, they went straight to the gas chambers the day they arrived at Auschwitz. | ||
| And you know what their crime was? | ||
| You know what they did wrong? | ||
| They were Jews. | ||
| That was their crime. | ||
| It didn't matter whether they were good people, not good people, wonderful people, kind people. | ||
| The fact that you are a Jew, you deserve to go to the gas chamber. | ||
| And there's a lot of hate out there in America, all over the world. | ||
| I just want to point out, a lot of people are not aware. | ||
| There are eight and a half billion people in the world. | ||
| That's one thing people may be aware of. | ||
| There are only 15 million Jews. | ||
| That includes Israel, America, and the rest of the world. | ||
| We are such a minute part of the population of the world. | ||
| But isn't it amazing how people are so preoccupied with Jews? | ||
| Oh my God! | ||
| And Saturday Night Live Putting on skits? | ||
| You know, anti-Semitism is never funny. | ||
| And when they do things that create anti-Semitism, the stereotype of Jews only caring for themselves, when they, you know, did the skit about the vaccine, 50% of the people of Israel have been vaccinated. | ||
| Guess which 50%? | ||
| The Jews! | ||
| Forget about the fact that it's not true. | ||
| What does that do? | ||
| That is the stereotype You know, Jews only care for themselves. | ||
| They don't care for anybody else. | ||
| This is very sick stuff and very dangerous. | ||
| And NBC would never do this to any other group. | ||
| They would never do it to the black community. | ||
| They would never do it to the gay community. | ||
| Imagine the reaction if they played these games with these other groups. | ||
| But Jews? | ||
| No problem. | ||
| Dov, we're pressed for time, but for this audience, how do they engage? | ||
| Tell us about Americans. | ||
| How do they get to Americans Against Anti-Semitism? | ||
| And what do they do when they get to this? | ||
| You've got about 30 seconds. | ||

| I'm the Appa State of Appa States. | ||

| And he went from... He's a Liberal Democrat? | ||
| He went from the Democrats, and he's now standing where he is. | ||
| I left Islam, and I take it in coming more than anybody else. | ||
| It's the same thing. | ||
| They think they own your brain. | ||
| They think they own your mind. | ||
| Dove is a real fighter and honey brush. | ||
| We want to bring in another fighter now, Rabbi Hershey Minkowitz from the Chabad of Alpharetta in Georgia Metro, Atlanta. | ||
| Honored to have you on, sir. | ||
| Our topic today is the rise of global anti-Semitism. | ||
| Can you explain what you think the problem is and how our audience, the vast majority of which are not Jewish, how can they assist in combating this problem in the United States of America, Rabbi? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Okay, so I can actually, you don't have to go too far back, just some incidents that happened this week, two incidents in the last week that can answer both of your questions. | |
| You know, I'm not such a pundit to be able to tell you what the origin of the anti-Semitism is and where it comes from, but I think that the center of the problem is like the center of all other problems, and that is when not enough regular people stand up and take a stand against when they see an injustice. | ||
| And if enough regular people, yes, particularly non-Jewish people that witnessed something happen, And open up their mouth and make noise and make a ruckus and say they won't stand for it. | ||
| That's where you start seeing change. | ||
| And I'll give you an example. | ||
| Just in the last two weeks, I don't know if you saw on the news, but there were two episodes where a Jewish family were on an airplane, two different flights. | ||
| One was on one airline, another airline, and they... We talked about it this morning, yeah. | ||
| Okay, and one time it was a kid under two years old, and there's video. | ||
| Today we're in the smartphone era, so you can't even deny it because there's video. | ||
| And a kid under two years old didn't have a mask. | ||
| In the other case, it was an older man that had a heart condition. | ||
| He took off his mask for a second. | ||
| Not only did they kick the entire family off the flight, that wouldn't be enough. | ||
| to stoke people's anger against the Jews, so they can kick the entire flight off the flight. | ||
| So if you get 200 people angry and they know that it's because of the Jew that it happened, that's going to, of course, stoke more anti-Semitism. | ||
| And the most troubling thing about that is that when we talk about anti-Semitism, you think about terrorist attacks. | ||
| You think about, even in America, the old thing was, it's not old. | ||
| It still happens now. | ||
| There's plenty of stories this year. | ||
| But graffiti on the synagogue, smashing stones in the cemeteries, that's like the typical type of anti-Semitic thing you see. | ||
| Today, when it's a regular flight attendant that feels emboldened to do this in public and they have video of. | ||
| The flight attendants high-fiving each other that they got them off the plane, you know, that's the bad side of it. | ||
| And that's where it starts to get scary, where regular people can do such type of acts in public places and not even be afraid. | ||
| But when you ask about what people can do about it, the most encouraging thing that I saw, because I watched a lot of these homegrown videos that came around from the people who were on the flight, We're regular folk that were on the plane, not even Jews. | ||
| I see videos of them going over to them and saying, hey, listen, I saw what happened. | ||
| Here's my name. | ||
| Here's my number. | ||
| If there's going to be a lawsuit, if there's going to be a criminal case, whatever it may be, I'm ready to be a witness. | ||
| If enough people like that will go out on social media and be ready to lend their hand and lend their name to take a stand and say, Americans don't stand for this, I think that's where it starts to change. | ||
| But if everybody remains silent and no one wants to do anything because they're afraid to open their mouth, That's where you continue having the problem. | ||
| You think the problem now is that too many people are being silent about it? | ||
| I mean, that's why our audience and others have to engage? | ||
| That, in particular, the Trump movement have to engage? | ||
| You think too many people right now are just being silent and looking the other way? | ||
|
unidentified
|
Absolutely. | |
| Again, it's not the origin of the problem. | ||
| The origin of the problem is the oldest hatred in the universe. | ||
| But if you ask about what you can do to make it go away or to make it start getting less, absolutely. | ||
| Not enough people have enough courage to stand up and say that this was wrong, that happened. | ||
| Not enough people are able, yeah, brave enough to go out there and say it, absolutely. | ||
| Yeah, can I also say, I think the Rabbi's making a really, really important point here, and one of the things that we always have to do is we gotta blow up the leftist arguments, okay? | ||
| So let's think about this. | ||
| The Rabbi's talking about how important it is to support the State of Israel. | ||
| And what you'll see, what the left will do, it's so interesting, and they do this only with Israel, only with Jews, they'll say, well, I have Jewish friends, or I support the Jewish people, but I'm against the Israeli government, and I side on behalf of people who want to destroy the State of Israel. | ||
| Now, we like to use a little logic here. | ||
| Imagine how that would sound if somebody came up and said, you know, I love Italian opera, I love Italian art, I love the Italian people, but I support the destruction of the state of Italy. | ||
| I love Irish soda bread, I love the Irish people, but I support the destruction of Ireland. | ||
| It makes no sense. | ||
| But what the left will do, and that's why students on college campuses, people in their communities need to be aware of this, people will come out and they'll say, well, I don't have anything against the Jewish people. | ||
| But I want to destroy the Jewish homeland. | ||
| I want to destroy the State of Israel. | ||
| Or I'm willing to listen to people who want to destroy the State of Israel and side with them. | ||
| So look, this is what we're talking about with Eli early in the program. | ||

Anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism. | |
| Rabbi, what are your social media coordinates? | ||
| How do people get to know you better? | ||
| How do they follow you and how do they help join this fight to stop the rise of anti-Semitism here in this country and throughout the world? | ||

You know, I'm a small player. | |
| I have my community in North Atlanta, where I function. | ||
| Of course, I'm on Facebook. | ||
| Facebook.com forward slash Rabbi Hershey. | ||
| H-I-R-S-H-Y. | ||
| But I think that it's not about getting in touch with any particular individual. | ||
| It's not about following movements, and I don't even think it's about right and left. | ||
| I think it's about every single individual feeling a responsibility. | ||
| If I'm in that airport when such a thing goes down, or if I'm in a street corner with somebody, you know, Says a nasty word to a Jew or any kind of racism to every person to feel the obligation to stand up to take a stand and to protest this kind of behavior and let the country and the world know that this is not who we are. | ||
| There's the institutionalized things that go on but then there's the private individuals and I think the private individuals can make the biggest change. | ||
| Enough individuals doing the right thing create the best change. | ||
| Rabbi Hershey Minkiewicz, thank you very much for joining us here on our special in War Room. | ||
| And I'll add one really important point. | ||
| You know, Rabbi's talking about how individuals can step up, and if you're listening to this or you're watching us right now and you are a church-going Christian, then go to your church and make sure that that church is also standing up for and supporting the State of Israel. | ||
| And I will tell you, the greatest support right now for the State of Israel across the country is in churches across America. | ||
| Evangelical Christians. | ||
| Rabbi, thank you very much for joining us on our special today. | ||
| Okay, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock we're going to pick it back up. | ||
| We've got breaking news all day tomorrow. | ||
| A bunch of big reveals tomorrow. | ||
| A couple of special guests. | ||
| Commander's going to be back in studio. | ||
| We're going to have a couple more topics. | ||
| A guest we couldn't fit in today to be tomorrow about this rise of anti-Semitism. | ||
| We're also going to be talking about religious persecution against Christians, against the Falun Gong, against the Uyghurs. | ||
| All of it, all week. | ||
| Raheem. | ||
| I'm going to have a podcast up later. | ||
| I'm actually going to start working on it right now, record it, and have it up a little later, so watch out for that. | ||
| But the lead story on TheNationalPulse.com right now, I have a piece of analysis up. | ||
| People are going to want to pay attention. | ||
| Go to The National Pulse right now. |
