I want you to imagine the following.
Let's assume there is a disease you don't ever want.
Folks in my age bracket are always talking about shingles.
You don't want shingles.
And there's a vaccine for shingles.
Now the question is, should you get the vaccine?
This is a hypothetical.
This is not an anti-vaxxer.
This is a mere hypothetical.
One group of people says, yes, you should get the vaccine.
Why?
Because shingles and herpes and neuropathy are terrible.
But is the vaccine safe?
Is it efficacious?
Is it worth it?
But shingles are bad.
Yes, but is it worth it?
What do you mean, is it worth it?
Shingles are terrible.
You don't want shingles.
Yes, but the vaccine, theoretically, could be worse.
It may not be worth the risk.
Of maybe getting something.
Is it tested?
Are we sure?
But shingles are bad.
That's Israel.
That's Palestine.
That's what's going on.
Hamas is a bad thing.
Terrorism is a bad thing.
We've got to do something.
Is it worth it?
Is it going to work?
I don't know, but terrorism is a bad thing.
But what are we supposed to do?
Does this thing that you are asking for, does it work?
Will it be effective?
Will it be worse than the thing we're trying to prevent?
Do you see?
Do you understand?
That's what we're talking about.
What is the purpose?
What is the future of the United States in the Middle East?
Forget.
Call the countries X and Y. X and Y. Israel's X, Palestine's Y. Don't mention it because the framework of the argument has been changed so that if you were to suggest Anything,
theoretically, that is not in line with a, not a naked, but an absolute plenary, an unquestioned support of Israel, you're called an anti-Semite.
If you say, wait a minute, Israel is wrong in this occupation, you're an anti-Semite.
If you say, wait a minute, these This Hamas brutality, whatever Israel did in terms of settlement, has been absolutely outdone by this barbaric savagery.
How dare you reduce these people from their Nakba into these words of, you know, savagery?
You're a racist.
I'm not a racist.
What are you talking about?
Do you see where we are?
Move that over there.
Ask yourself, let's assume the United States does nothing.
Question number one, what happens?
Focus, dear friends.
What happens if we do nothing?
Number two, what do you mean doing nothing?
What does doing nothing mean?
What will happen?
What will not happen?
What will happen that has nothing to do with us?
What will happen anyway?
Is this our fight or is this a world issue?
Are we being sucked in?
Not by Israel, but by Hamas.
Does Hamas know what they're doing?
Is this to draw us in?
Not Israel, us.
You always think that everything's about Israel.
There are people who are very smart, who recognize how this thing works.
Is this also a chance to recalibrate, re-jigger, reconnect, re-engineer the world?
It's not just necessarily about Israel, or is it?
What I just asked you, the 5, 6, 7, 10 questions, that's just the first part.
Many questions to ask.
The complexity of this.
I'm telling you, America doesn't want to hear how confusing this is.
I can't tell you.
I'm not going to mention your names.
The idiocy, the lectures from people on YouTube that make it sound so simple.
And if I hear one more about history or Yom Kippur or the Nakba...
Or the Palestinian catastrophe.
I'm going to scream!
What are you bringing this up for?
What difference does it mean?
The world has cancer.
We are oncologists.
What do we do?
Is it surgery?
Surgery is war.
Is it chemotherapy?
It's kind of war too.
Is it radiation?
What is it?
The days of prevention are over.
The days of nutrition are over.
The days of...
Relaxing and, you know, meditation.
That's done.
We're in a world of shite.
To use that great line from Private Pyle, from Full Metal Jacket, I'm in a world of...
So stand by, my friends, and get ready for this.
Get ready!
For the best discussion.
That is going to confound.
That is going to aggravate.
You're going to be so frustrated because you're going to want these simple little packaged answers.
And there aren't more packaged answers.
Because I am in.
Okay, you got it?
Okay, good.
Now, a couple of things.
First of all, we've got to go through the usual stuff, my friends.
I've got to tell you something.
You've got to make sure you've got to follow us on Twitter.
Twitter is still it!
X, Twitter, whatever the hell it is.
It's still the best place for you to go to find out what's happening.
I also want you to subscribe to this channel.
If you have not subscribed to Lionel Nation right here, there is no.
Excuse for this.
You've got to also like this video.
You've got to like this video and subscribe as well.
You've also got to hit this little notification bell to be notified of live streams and new content.
And also, this is important.
This is the social media accepted version.
If you want to hear the rough stuff, if you want to hear Things in a way that, well, I guess you might want to call them words that are more adult.
Not that they're cursing, but every now and then, you've got to go here.
This is important.
This is the private channel.
This is it.
I just did one before.
And I can say whatever I want.
And I don't have to worry about...
Spelling things correctly.
Saying things correctly.
Saying things without hurting anybody's feelings.
I don't have to worry about this.
This is a brutal world.
You know everything's going behind a paywall.
Everything.
X is going to be doing a Twitter.
Everything.
Everything.
And the reason why is that's where you get freedom.
I'm sorry to say this.
You get freedom.
Freedom to say stuff is not even that great.
The stuff that's allowed that's okay, I don't understand it.
So that's that.
I'm not done yet.
I've got a few more things.
Let me also remind you, my friends, that on February the 3rd, I'm going to be coming back to the credit.
That's just...
What is that?
Four months.
In essence, four months.
That's in it.
At the cutting room in New York City, and it's going to be unbelievable.
That's all I'm going to say.
Next, my friends, I've got to tell you this right now.
You know and I know that we have talked about this notion of prepared and emergency food forever.
You know it.
I know it.
The world knows it.
And I'm going to tell you again.
It's not that there's going to be no food.
It's that there's going to be no stores, no means of delivering the food.
There's always going to be something somewhere in some warehouse, on some freighter, on some trucking.
Oh, yeah, there's, you know.
We're not going to wipe out Wheatfield, but you're not going to get them.
Because there's going to be trucking problems.
There's going to be disputes.
There's going to be a disruption.
There's going to be everything.
Everything that you can possibly imagine is going to go wrong.

Now...
There's no hope for the world.
There's no hope.
And I know this bothers people.
Somebody was so funny.
I wish I could have taken a screenshot.
He says, this guy's all over the place.
Funniest thing ever.
Yes, Sparky.
The world is all over the place.
Yes, you're right.
I'm sorry.
But I'm a simple...
I live in a simple world with simple yes or no.
Just...
Tell me it's all going to be okay.
It's not going to be okay.
What are you talking about?
But I'm Jewish.
So what?
He's Palestinian.
You're Jewish.
I'm Scott Jairus.
What does this have to do with anything?
But that's all I know.
Sorry.
Do you want to talk anymore about why this happened?
You want to?
I don't.
Do you want to talk about October the 7th?
I don't.
Do you want to talk about whether Israel is doing this?
I don't.
Do you want to talk about whether Netanyahu is doing this because of his own corruption?
I don't.
I don't care what happens.
I don't care.
I'm an oncologist.
I've got a patient.
Stage four.
We've got a patient.
I don't care about family history.
I don't care about what he did.
I don't care about anything.
How do we fix it?
How do we fix it?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
How do we fix it?
And that's what nobody's talking about.
And I'm not going to tell you.
I'm not going to tell you the names.
And it's two groups.
It's two groups.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I appreciate it.
Okay, what about you?
This is not our war.
They're treating the Palestinians here.
Okay, thank you.
I never heard.
What about you?
That's my favorite.
This is the land of David.
You want to argue that one?
See, people think that for some reason that you have to find them the answer.
Or that they don't understand.
Oh, I didn't.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'm sorry.
Come on, we're going home.
But they're here first.
We're all wrong.
It doesn't work like that.
It doesn't work like that.
And nobody knows what they're talking about.
Everybody just wants to say something cute.
They just want to say something cute.
Here is the question.
Are we in too deep?
Are we in too deep?
You really want to get nasty?
What would a terrorist do?
Let me tell you what I would do.
Let me tell you what I would do.
Number one.
Number two.
My job as a cancer.
My job as a cancer is to make sure that everything is working out.
By the way, a mic is cutting out?
Interesting.
Let me see what's going on here.
Let me see.
Let me check the audio.
Let me check.
Is this better at all?
How is that better?
Sounds awful.
I'm out of here.
Okay, get out of here.
See ya.
See ya.
Get out of here.
All righty.
Get out.
Everybody all right?
Is this any better?
Let me see.
Hand movements, mic cutting out.
Not touching.
Let me see.
Is this any better?
Hang on a minute.
We're going to see.
Just give me a moment.
We'll fix this.
Everybody relax.
Okay, it's better.
Thank you.
I love these petulant little twits.
I'm out of here.
Sorry.
I'm out of here.
I'm out of here.
Get the hell out of here.
I just...
Not better.
Not better.
You got this?
You got this?
Not better?
Check switch on mic.
Okay.
Let me try something.
Hang on a second.
Hang on a second.
We're going to fix this.
Check one, two, three.
Now, is this any better?
Be calm.
Don't be rude.
Don't be rude.
Remember, this is free.
Good.
Good.
Don't be rude.
I hate rude.
I can't take it.
Petulant.
Snotty.
I hate it.
I just hate it.
You have no earthly idea.
We are in this world of...
I don't know what the word is.
Anything else?
Anything else?
Away again?
Hang on a minute.
Just a second.
We're going to figure this thing out.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
Let me see what's happening here.
Let me get rid of some stuff.
I'm going to get rid of this.
I'm going to get rid of that.
I'm going to get rid of this.
Let me see if there's a system.
Let me see.
Still touching?
There we go.
Let me see this.
It sounds a little bit like I can't.
Oh, I see.
Wait a minute.
Hold it.
We're going to get to the bottom.
Stand back.
Stand back to your friends.
Hang on a minute.
We're going to get to the bottom of this.
We're going to fix this.
Just a minute.
Let me see here.
Here.
This and that.
Output.
Input.
Does this make any sense?
Sound is okay?
Alright, I'm going to keep talking.
What are you going to do?
Oh good, you can hear your dog.
Good, good, good, good.
Sound is fine.
Alright.
I've got to say something.
The rudeness killed me.
You hear these people who are on these weird banking executives and they say these terrible things about I was so happy when Jews were killed.
What is that about?
Why do people do that?
It's the same kind of petulance.
I don't understand this.
It's this petulance.
Anger.
It's this thing I don't understand.
We've lost, and I think part of it will show one day, that there's this weird thing that happens, I guess, involving social media.
And what it is, is that something happened to us.
Okay?
Something happened.
When we are in this, when we're given this word, this thing, and I gotta tell you something.
You see it here.
There's a rudeness.
I was watching sometimes things potentiate.
Let me give you an example.
Before somebody recognized the fact that Certain substances made you intoxicated, made you drunk.
Nobody knew that being drunk was even possible.
Nobody knew that.
We didn't know what being intoxicated was until somebody ate something that curdled or fermented or whatever the hell it was.
They didn't realize it.
Then all of a sudden, they did.
And what happened?
They had drunk.
And they wanted to do it again.
And he said, where was this stuff?
How did we do this?
So the alcohol potentiated this.
The alcohol potentiated this thing which you had been doing before, or you had been involved in before.
You never knew that you had these receptors for this.
Sparky nails it.
Sparky says, doctors quit prescribing drug combo.
Because it was too effective against obesity, causing industry revenue to drop.
Both drugs were generic.
More heart issues with placebo than phenotype.
This Ozembic, this new thing now, I don't know where that's going, but keep an eye on that.
All the plaintiff's lawyers are standing by.
Let's see what happens with that.
A lot of people are losing weight and doing some stuff.
That's a very, very good point.
Did you see this drug that we were using that the Gazans, that the Hamasers were using on October the 7th?
It's kind of a synthetic, they call it a synthetic cocaine version of it.
It's, remember the berserkers?
People for a long time used to always go into these wild kind of demonic things.
The Germans, the Nutzos.
In fact, I think we did for long fights, people would do.
Methamphetamine.
They say that Hitler was on that as well.
So that's something interesting.
Let me go back to what we're saying.
By the way, Sparky is an excellent point.
There's no end to this.
Now, who saw Biden last night?
Anybody?
Not that you saw him last night, but did you see him speak last night?
Anybody?
Did you see?
Remember this?
Remember Angel Dust?
Yep.
Remember that?
Do you understand what happened?
Did you see?
Did you happen to catch?
Brit Hume said it was the best speech of Biden's career.
It was the best speech of Biden's career.
Does that mean it was a good speech?
No.
It was the best speech.
This was the best 100 meter yard dash I've ever run.
Is it fast?
No.
But it's the best one I've ever had.
It's the Best one.
This guy who's 99 years old, he was running, and it took him 20 minutes to go 100 feet.
But it's his best time ever.
What does that mean?
Brit Hume is a hack.
Brit Hume is from a world that doesn't exist anymore.
Brit Hume, I'm sorry to say, is from the world of Marshall and Ball in those days.
Please imagine getting Dan Gable, Luthez, and Strangler Lewis to comment on UFC, Ultimate Fighting, MMA.
They'll look at you.
What the hell is this?
What is this?
I want to know how much Adderall they gave Joe Biden.
You could tell he's up for about an hour.
So his speech was better.
He doesn't have that confused look.
And by the way, have you noticed his comment on these two particular spherical nodules in his chin?
That's the big controversy.
Here is the question.
Number one.
When we say we are 100% in support of Israel, what does that mean?
We say 100% in support of Ukraine, what does that mean?
Now the difference is this.
If we're behind Ukraine, this will not necessarily unleash the, I guess, the world of Putin following jihadists.
I don't know.
But if you do this with Israel, Understand, and we've always known this.
We've always known this.
This is part of our other culture.
By the way, what I say, people say, oh, there you go.
No, I'm telling you the truth.
Forget it.
Call it country X. You go with country X, you're also going to inherit a lot of bad people who will take very personally what you're doing to them.
They think that what you're doing is so beyond the pale.
It's horrible what you're doing.
Horrible.
It's horrible what you're doing.
And that's important to know.
Very, very important to know.
Very, very critical.
Okay, that's number one.
Number two, let me tell you what I would do if I were these people.
I would say, I think these people need to be taught a lesson.
We want to completely change the world.
We want to change the world, and we're not going to change the world if the United States thinks that everything's going to be over there.
We've got to bring something over here.
We have to do something there.
And we don't necessarily have to even say it's us, but something has to happen over there.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
It has to happen over there.
We're going to bring it over there.
And both people, two people are going to understand.
Who do you think that will be?
Number one, country X. Number two, country or people Y. Both sides benefit.
If something happens here, something happens here.
I don't want to go through the list.
But there's a lot of things I would do.
What would I do if I targeted, you know, something like John le Carré and when he would think of something and, you know, a lot of people and I'm running.
What would I do?
If something happens here, something that is, people say, oh, that's terrorism.
What will happen?
Something somewhere, some place.
I don't want to tempt fate.
But a place that everybody thought was safe, a big tourist destination, a big event, whatever it is.
What would happen?
Let's analyze.
Number one, Country X. Would it benefit?
Absolutely.
Why?
Country X says, you see how crazy these bastards are?
Now do you understand?
Now do you get it?
Now do you understand what we're talking about?
Join us.
Join us.
See how these people are?
Join us.
Other country, country or people, why?
They say, you really want a piece of this?
Do you really want this?
Back off and this won't happen.
This is what happens when you side with those people.
This is what happens when you side.
You want this?
You sure you want to get into this fight?
You sure?
What happens?
Third issue.
In 2001, after 9-11, Americans said, I want to fight back.
I want to go back and I want to go after the people who did this to my country.
I want to go back and do this to the people that did this to our country.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Great.
Question number one.
Would we see this today?
No.
There's no patriotism.
No.
There was no social media in 2001.
Pat Tillman, Jessica Lynch, all that stuff.
It was easy.
It was easy to basically pull shite out and to lie.
It was easy.
It was simple.
It was the simplest thing in the world.
It was simple.
Not anymore.
Do you think there would be a huge movement of Patriotism?
We're going to get those bastards.
No!
No!
Do you think so?
No!
Absolutely not.
No way.
Uh-uh.
Ain't gonna happen.
Sorry.
Ain't gonna happen.
You're not going to see that anywhere.
Americans don't care.
It's a different world.
We don't care about this.
So let me go back to what I said.
Let's assume something happens.
Incident X happens, or one, whatever the number is, and we say, that's terrorist.
Number two, it's not readily identifiable as to who would do it.
Number three, who benefits?
Both benefits.
Both sides benefit.
Country X says, see what happens?
See why you gotta join us to fight these bastards?
Now they're coming after you.
Country Y says, If you back off with us, you won't have problems because this is their fight and they're trying to draw you in.
Next possibility.
Is there a possibility?
Could this be a false flag?
You bet.
Who are the suspects?
The world.
Country X would do it.
It's called the Pearl Harbor effect.
Pull America in.
Absolutely.
Country Y, whatever you want, country.
They do it because they, for the foregoing reasons, we just want instability.
Plus, we don't like you.
Next, our own country could do it, theoretically.
When I say our country, it's not our country.
It's factions within certain governmental, because there's always a benefit.
Why?
Military-industrial complex, war profiteering, the usual suspects.
Do you know where this is going?
Do you think this is...
No.
Is there anything to stop this?
No.
No.
Next.
In Israel, 99% of the country knows all about this.
How many people do you think care about this in this country?
How many people?
How many people?
Nobody.
Everybody.
Okay?
Another thing too is, please do not confuse the word neocon with war profiteer or warmonger.
Neocon has been used as a synonym for people who want war.
That's not a neocon.
Absolutely not.
Zbigniew Brzezinski always wanted war with Russia.
Is he a neocon?
No!
He's anything but.
If anything, neocons historically, Straussian neocons, were always considered to be basically...
The term neocon was thought to be, in one particular respect, as an anti-Semitic term because the majority, or it was viewed, the neocons tended to favor, tended to focus on those incidents and those areas that would benefit Israel.
Consequently, people like Pat Buchanan and others I would use the word neocon.
And by the way, the word anti-Semitism, we'll talk about that in a moment, was always attributed to him.
Happy Canada didn't think we should go into World War II and this and that.
Very complicated stuff.
So you're not going to hear this on talk radio.
Today at 10.40 a.m., I'm going to be on my dear friend Mark Simone's video.
Of radio shows, of radio programs, talk radio programs today, and I can't speak to the rest of the world, but in New York City, everybody listens to it.
Everybody.
Everybody.
I mean everybody.
People who count.
People who are politically wise.
Other people, they try to do it, but they don't do it.
Now, I've not I don't know how many minutes, five, six, who knows?
Before we go to news traffic and weather and diet ads.
And it's not his fault.
That's just the way it is.
That's the way it is.
Period.
Now, what do you think I'm going to be able to cover?
I've been talking to you so far for 32 minutes.
And between a lot of babies bitching about a bad mic or some mic problems, I haven't even scratched the surface yet.
Not because I'm meandering.
Not because I'm being desultory.
Not because I'm being discursive.
Not because I'm not getting to the point, but because it's that complicated.
There is no black and white.
There is none.
There is none.
Period.
End of discussion.
Now here's some other good news which is interesting.
I mentioned this last night.
Or the night.
Well, yesterday.
News stories or social media are abandoning news.
Did you see this?
Did you see how social media platforms are abandoning news?
Our good friend Sparky weighs in with, it was raining when dad, 91, left the store.
Not thinking he sprinted to his car to avoid getting wet.
It occurred to him, while he ran, I'm running, but can I stop without falling?
Interesting.
That's interesting.
Can I stop without falling?
No.
And then I believe your father, who I hope your father is with you physically.
If not, he will be with you forever in your heart.
I hope your father also thought, why am I running?
I'm going to get less wet.
What am I worried about?
Why am I running?
What is my fear of getting wet?
Am I running because I really fear getting wet?
I'm going to get less.
Again, do I risk this?
Interesting.
Interesting.
I like all of the aspects of this combined, the analysis.
Now, let me also explain to you what I wish in my movie that I want to do.
It works as follows.
My movie script.
I have all these scripts going on.
I have these stories.
And in my story, I bring somebody in.
He's a young person.
And I'm the wise man.
And he says, who are you?
And I say to him, it doesn't matter who I am.
You wouldn't understand if I do it.
Are you with the CIA?
NSA?
Navy intel, military intel, who are you?
I don't have a name.
I don't have a card.
I don't have a place.
My paychecks come from things you've never heard about.
It's hard to even say.
Am I governmental?
No.
I have complete and total detachment.
Absolute deniability.
Not only plausible, but actual.
Nobody knows who I am.
Nobody.
And they want it like that.
They kind of know here, but they don't know.
Anybody in the White House, anybody could testify.
They knew nothing.
In 9-11, George Bush, Dick Cheney, name anybody you knew, knew nothing about what was happening on 9-11.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Absolutely, positively, 100%.
They knew nothing, planned nothing.
They might have suspected something.
They might not have been surprised.
But no.
And in my movie, I said, let me explain to you the problem that we have.
And we're going to have a chess game.
And this is the chess game, okay?
But here's the game.
We have, are you seeing a three-dimensional chess?
It's not a three-dimensional chess where you look down and it's one game.
It's four games.
Four games, at least, are going simultaneously.
It's not four-dimensional.
It's four games.
And you can be Magnuson, and you can walk back, but I'm going to also move the pieces.
I'm going to move the board.
So when you come back and you say, what's this?
I don't know.
I've never seen this before.
That's precisely right.
That is precisely right.
Sparky says, Dad cushioned his stop with his car and was okay.
But it was significant enough where he related the incident to us, his children.
You know, one of the things which is interesting about when people get older, when you realize certain things, you realize changes.
Let me take a minute.
You bring up a good point.
Have you noticed, you know when you're getting sick and you try to explain, Doctor, I'm getting the flu.
How do you know that?
I feel it.
My eyes feel heavy.
I just kind of feel, you know, what does it mean?
You can't explain, but you know it.
You also have a feeling when you know you're dying.
You know it.
And it's a feeling you've never had before.
You know it's true.
And it kicks in a kind of an atavistic, kind of a primordial evolutionary sensation you never even thought was there.
So that you know, I'm going.
And it's just, everybody knows this.
That's why dogs and animals will go off by themselves when they realize it's over.
They leave.
They go elsewhere.
They believe that's one of the reasons why perhaps it's possible for whales reaching themselves.
That might have been something.
It might have more to do with the end of life.
But it's a fascinating thing.
It's when people, you're getting to the end, the trajectory where physical things And by the way, Sparky, the analogy is in my beginning road of senescence.
I know what's happening.
I see things dying now as well.
I see this world dying.
I see this.
Hello there.
I see the world dying.
You can hit that door, honey, so you don't have to...
The locomote, furtively.
I recognized that my country, that what I knew then, is changing drastically.
It's over.
It's all over.
I learned from Vietnam.
Vietnam changed me.
I remember then.
It was over with.
And I'm seeing what's happening.
This is a different world.
So going back to my announcement, I'm going to tell this young person, sit down.
And here's what we're going to do.
Let me explain to you this chess game is going on.
We have Israel.
We have Hamas.
We have the Palestinian Authority.
We have Gaza.
Hamas.
Abu Mazen.
And basically, what does it mean?
Different members of a symphony.
It's a band.
They're there.
And if they weren't there, we would create them.
They're a necessary countervailing portion.
Doesn't matter how they got there.
They're just there.
Sometimes they help, sometimes they don't.
The rule you've got to understand, young man, or young woman, I could be a young woman, is that whenever something happens, there's always something good and there's always something bad.
There's a reason why something is bad.
There is a reason.
When you see a rash, the reason for the rash is a reaction to something else.
The rash is necessary to react to this underlying It's not in and of itself a problem.
It's a reaction.
Life is a reaction.
It's not good, bad, or whatever.
It's a reaction.
And certain things will come later on.
Now, for the longest time, this thing, the problems have been pretty simple.
Pretty simple.
Territorial, governmental.
Authoritarian.
We can take the troubles in Ireland.
We can do a lot of things.
We can look at them in a variety of different ways.
This, in the Middle East, is the most fascinating.
Because in it, we have something that we kind of saw before, but not at this time.
We're going to take a piece of land.
And we're going to have a piece of land where it wasn't, there was no D. There was no finale.
There was no, nobody, even North Korea, South Korea, they go, here's the line, this is North, this is South, there's the line.
I mean, you might have some prisoners, but it was Northern Ireland, Ireland, the Republic, Ulster, but we got it.
North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, got it.
Maybe now.
Territorial was just, he didn't have, it wasn't so much ownership or leadership.
This is a different story.
First, you have this piece of land where you have everybody motivated, number one, by not just land and nationality, but religion.
Religion is the drunk part.
Religion is what turned white into a bar fight.
Religion is this thing that mankind has.
It's a wonderful story.
It has, I believe, in its totality, provided more good than evil.
Absolutely.
I think more people have benefited from in terms of their own internal equanimity, equipoise, and sense of confusion.
Confinement, a sense of belonging, a sense of a lot of...
I think it's been excellent.
Religion has provided most people want to practice their faith in their own way.
It won't bother anybody.
It may seem strange to you, but that's kind of what religions are.
Unlike Christopher Hitchens, I think that religion is a very good one.
However, when you take religion and you add to it, Land.
And you put people in this area.
And you have a certain degree of, you know, funny.
And then you have another third party that comes in and says, we, we have designated this to belong here.
And we'll allow some kind of a supposed confluence of existence, of coexistence.
But For the most part, Iranian.
And you are going to be fighting from that day of religious resentment, interloping, squatter.
Look at what squatters do.
And I'm not suggesting anybody's a squatter, but the idea that somebody is on a land, trespass.
In the legal world, the idea of trespass and burglary is interesting.
When I am someplace that I have no license to be, I've been granted no permission, I'm there without permission, I'm trespassing.
I don't have to announce anything.
You don't have to catch me.
When you're driving down the road, trying to loosen your load, you've got seven women on your mind.
When you're driving down the road, you realize, oh, I'm going the wrong way.
And I'm going to pull into this driveway, back up, and go the other way.
That's trespass.
Nobody's going to call you on it.
They didn't okay this.
You have no license.
But there's a defense called necessity.
And it may or may not apply.
Just like when you're in a prison, you can't escape unless the prison's on fire and you have necessity.
There's something about land.
It's the oldest thing.
Get off my land.
This is mine.
Get off.
You're encroaching on this.
You build too far and we get adverse possession.
This is where you claim property.
You claim it for 7 years, 21 years, whatever the hell.
But all of a sudden you say, guess what?
This is mine now.
We're going to acquire a title and blah, blah, blah.
And I'm going to own it.
Then there's things in property called easements.
Easements are interesting.
You've got this piece of property right there.
There's a beach there.
I've got to get to the beach.
I can't get to the beach unless I go through your property.
The law presumes an easement.
There's a prescriptive easement, a prohibitive easement.
It allows me to say, this is your property, but for purposes of my being able to use it to go over here.
And then there's easements by power companies being a power line.
There's an air and light easement.
You have a unit on your roof for your solar collection panels to power your homes.
I build this thing next to you blocking the sun.
You have an air and light easement by implication, by prescription.
You can say, wait a minute, land is like just this.
There's more.
Oh, my God.
Riparian rights.
Do I own the property?
What about the shore?
What about literal?
L-I-T-T-R-O.
The shore.
What about mineral rights?
What about air rights?
What do I own?
If a drone going over your property, you shoot it out of the sky?
No.
That's my property.
You're trespassing.
Well, you're also discharging a firearm in public.
So this may be brand new to you, but human beings, since the beginning of time, have come up with the most incredible sense of this law, the jurisprudence of law, and land.
You want this, and you want this, and who wants this?
And we're going to turn it over to you, and India.
We're going to turn it back to India, and the United Kingdom, and Taiwan.
Is it Taiwan, Hong Kong, China?
We're in China.
But the way we fix this, and this is what I would tell my young, the way we fix it is I've already got everybody.
I'm talking to everybody.
I'm talking to Israel.
I'm talking to Iran.
I'm talking to Egypt.
I'm talking to Jordan.
I know everything.
They know, and we're all talking to each other, and you don't realize this.
We're all talking.
Everybody's talking.
And we play this game.
This is professional wrestling.
We go out in public and we hate everybody, but we really don't.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
We don't really hate anybody, but we kind of do, but we kind of don't.
This is what we do.
This is our thing.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
Do you hear what I'm saying?
This is very, very critical.
And we know what they're going to say.
We know what their position is.
Right now, we've got a problem here.
And here's the story.
What do we do with this?
Where does it end?
Number one, Israel is saying, we're going to get, not Israel, but sort of, but people say, listen, Gaza, we've got no beef with you.
But you elected this crazy Hamas in there.
And Hamas is using your homes.
Your hospitals and your auditoriums and your garages and your apartment buildings to basically fire missiles at us.
You know it and I know it.
And you keep telling us, well, we can't stop them.
Well, you know what?
Too bad because you better be able to stop them because that's what you have to do.
And there's a big problem if you don't stop them and stop them quick.
You got it?
Big problem.
But you won't do it.
But we can't.
Yes, you can.
You voted them in, you can vote them out.
We don't vote them out.
Well, that's tough.
That's about it.
You would think the same thing.
If you're in New Jersey and New York is shelling New Jersey, you're going to say, yeah, I don't care about this.
They're coming from this.
Fix it.
They're coming from that building.
And whoever owns that building, we're telling you, we're going to go after this next because you're shooting.
Make sense?
And then when you say, okay, Hamas, what about this?
Israel has been bombing.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
We'll talk about that later.
What do you do about now?
What do you mean?
Have you heard the Gaza or the Hamas?
What are you talking about?
It's a Baghdad bomb.
What do you mean?
You're bombing us.
We're bombing you?
Quit bringing up in the past.
What about now?
On October 7th, you came in with paragliders.
You kidnapped people.
You murdered, molested.
What about that?
Well, what do you want?
You do that to us all the time.
And then you go right back to me.
This is where it is.
And people say, God, it's about time that Israel knows what it is.
Good.
Good.
This is where we are.
It's circular.
How are you going to fix that?
How are you going to fix this?
I heard somebody on Fox or somebody say, Again, thank God for this YouTube.
We will not stop until we've stopped and destroyed Hamas.
How are you going to stop Hamas?
What are you talking about?
You think they're going to break down?
You think you're going to be able to destroy the structure of it?
It's like we're going to stop the mafia.
You might have a better chance with that.
There's no end to this.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Do you follow what I'm saying?
There's no end.
It's circular.
So in the meantime, we're all talking.
What happened?
What happened?
Everybody says Iran.
What do you want to do with Iran?
You think Iran wants to go to war?
Who believes Iran wants to go to war?
Who?
And believe me, believe me, for every one of those countries, they're all very jealous.
They're probably saying, load up, light them up.
Go ahead.
We don't get recognition on the record.
But Iran's been a pain in the ass.
So has Imanis.
That's not our style.
Go ahead, be our guest.
And we'll stand in public.
Remember, they're Persian.
You understand this?
This is the story.
This is the story.
This is where we are right now.
Where is this?
You keep talking about Iran.
They talk about this all the time.
Watch your Fox News.
What do you want to do?
You want to go into Iran?
Hezbollah?
Not only that, the militias, you got the Houthis in Yemen, you got the various militias in Iraq, Syria, what?
Then, you've got China, they've got their big DRI, now the Belt and Road Initiative, and they're kind of sitting back on this.
What are they talking about?
There's no end to this.
None.
The only way it's going to end is if somebody says on me, that's enough.
That's it.
You understand this?
Now, what we're doing is, is I'm not making any statements.
I'm telling you, and this is why nobody wants to hear me, there's no end to this.
There's no end.
There's no, and unlike the cancer, when the patient dies, this...
Peace and kind of continues on, but in a new form, in a new whatever it is.
And the best part, not the best part, but ask yourself this thought experiment.
If there were no Israel right now, what would happen?
Would there be peace?
That was it.
Thanks.
Okay.
All right.
You got it.
Okay.
Alessand, you've got the road in Tel Aviv.
You got it.
No more Israel.
Take it.
Would that solve anything?
Would they want it?
How many people do you think who live in Israel say, wait a minute.
This is one of the most modern places.
Very progressive.
Very open.
Very technologically sapient.
Who is it who wants Israel out?
We don't want Israel out.
What are you talking about?
We live here.
We're Arabs, too.
No!
You want...
We don't want...
No!
See?
There's no...
There's no solution.
The only solution is if somebody one day says, all right, that's enough.
Are we in on this?
That's enough.
That's it.
No wars.
No Gaza.
No siege.
No nothing.
Nothing's going to fix this.
The only way it's going to be fixed is if everybody says, that's it.
Not because I've been bombed into submission, but it's just not worth it.
And the public sentiment right now, everybody in the world, everybody says, isn't the Palestinians?
They have social media, they have young people, they have people, and they have folks who are not necessarily in favor of them.
Or who are necessarily against Israel, they just see their particular plight as being greater than that which was evinced or advanced or alleged by Israel.
That's where it is right now.
So you've got to change it.
As long as there's that social media and that public attention wind in their sails, nothing's in the show.
You got it?
All right.
