=== Difficult Thoughts (02:21) ===

[00:00:00]  I will admit to you that it is difficult for me not to think of the hostages kidnapped by Hamas.
[00:00:08]  There's no question but some have been murdered in captivity.
[00:00:13]  It's no question that some have been tortured and no question that I don't know what number of women have been abused and even perhaps raped.
[00:00:29]  It doesn't merit the world's attention.
[00:00:33]  The world is not a good place.
[00:00:36]  There might, there's a lot of articles that there might be a war between Israel and Iran.
[00:00:47]  and I never thought I would say this, but I think that there will be a percentage of Americans rooting for Iran.
[00:00:58]  It's hard to believe.
[00:01:02]  We've gone from the people who kidnapped American State Department workers, remember that, after the Khomeini Revolution?
[00:01:12]  How long were they kept in captivity?
[00:01:14]  Was it 444 days?
[00:01:16]  Huh?
[00:01:17]  444, yeah.
[00:01:22]  The ease with which people forget the past is...
[00:01:27]  It's quite remarkable.
[00:01:29]  I've always argued history is the most important subject you can study.
[00:01:36]  I'm reading a biography of James Garfield.
[00:01:39]  Yeah, no, I read it.
[00:01:41]  You read it?
[00:01:41]  Yeah.
[00:01:42]  It's very good.
[00:01:43]  It opens up, the first page even, just summarizing his life and how he spoke about the, during the Civil War, we're fighting To end slavery.
[00:02:00]  But if you say the Civil War was to end slavery, people get annoyed with you.
[00:02:05]  No, no, no.

=== Zionists And Good Evil (02:05) ===

[00:02:06]  The North couldn't care less about slavery.
[00:02:09]  That might have been true about some Northerners.
[00:02:13]  But it wasn't true during the Civil War, as people asked, why are we dying in such numbers?
[00:02:24]  Somebody sent me a picture in Norway of a storefront in the city of Bergen.
[00:02:31]  You saw that?
[00:02:32]  Where did you see it?
[00:02:34]  That's interesting that you saw it too.
[00:02:37]  And on the storefront, somebody wrote Zionists.
[00:02:48]  It's basically the same word in Norwegian, Zionisten.
[00:02:53]  And then somebody who put this up showed a picture of Norway in 1942 with a storefront with Yodin, Jews.
[00:03:05]  There's no difference.
[00:03:07]  There is no difference.
[00:03:09]  Just people don't say Jews today, they say Zionists.
[00:03:13]  The only ones who say Jews today are Hamas.
[00:03:17]  They say Zionists for the Western press, but...
[00:03:23]  Reference is, let's kill as many Jews as possible.
[00:03:26]  People don't want to hear this because it is annoying.
[00:03:31]  Good and evil are annoying subjects.
[00:03:35]  It is said that Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
[00:03:42]  But people don't want to know about good and evil.
[00:03:46]  It's an interesting observation on that.
[00:03:53]  Great, great, brilliant story.
[00:03:55]  What they want to do is determine good and evil.
[00:03:58]  They don't want to know good and evil.
[00:04:01]  And that's what the eating of the tree was about.
[00:04:04]  You will be like God, determining good and evil.
[00:04:09]  That is the way it should be understood.
