Since the terror attacks on October 7th,
0:02
anti-Semitism has been on the rise. Not
0:04
just in Israel, but here at home
0:06
in the US and around the world.
0:08
That's why I have partnered with the
0:11
International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, and
0:13
today I am coming to you to
0:15
ask that you stand with us and
0:17
the IFCJ to raise your voice just
0:19
as Oskar Schindler and Kori Tenbaum did.
0:22
The pledge is asking Christians to stand
0:24
with their Jewish brothers and sisters to
0:26
never be silent, to show the Jewish
0:28
people they are not alone, they
0:30
have God and Christians on their side.
0:32
For the month of June, we are
0:34
asking Christians to sign this pledge, which
0:36
will be delivered to the President of
0:39
Israel, to show that Christians in America
0:41
are not only standing in solidarity, but
0:43
they are speaking up too. Let's take
0:45
a stand today with the International Fellowship
0:47
of Christians and Jews to let the
0:49
Jewish people know that they are not
0:51
alone. To sign the pledge, go to
0:53
supportifcj.org. supportifcj.org
0:56
to take a
0:58
stand today. Stay

1:04
today. Secures your financial freedom for a
1:06
successful tomorrow. Tackle
1:09
these situations in stride and of course be
1:11
annoyed when unplanned expense comes up, but not
1:14
let it be something that slows me down,
1:16
right? As I did with repairing my credit,
1:18
you know, hiring somebody to do credit repair
1:20
for me. That was a gift that I
1:22
gave myself that allowed me to then, you
1:25
know, get my first apartment. Free

2:00
instantly. So
2:24
we'll set this up ahead of time so you can fully
2:26
enjoy the President of the United States who
2:29
in one minute claims
2:31
he was a professor at UPenn, which he
2:33
never was, it's one of his stories he
2:35
regularly tells, claims he taught a constitutional law
2:37
class on the Second Amendment, which he did
2:40
not, says that you couldn't own
2:42
a cannon when the Second Amendment was first
2:44
round, which you could, and ends by failing
2:46
to say the famous phrase the tree of
2:48
liberty is watered with the blood of patriots.
2:50
Enjoy! I used to be a law, when
2:52
I was no longer the Vice President, I
2:54
became a professor at the University of
2:57
Pennsylvania, before that I taught a constitutional
2:59
law class, and so I talked to
3:01
the Second Amendment. There's never
3:03
been a time that says you can own anything
3:06
you want, never, you
3:08
couldn't own a cannon during the Civil War.
3:10
Yeah, you could. Go
3:12
on, sir, think about it, how much have you heard this
3:14
phrase? The blood of liberty! Wash
3:18
your coat, give me a break.
3:20
Oh, I mean
3:22
it, seriously. By
3:26
the way, if they want to take
3:28
on government if we get out of
3:30
line, which they're talking again about, guess
3:33
what, they need F-15s, they don't need a
3:36
rifle. Folks, look, this
3:38
is crazy what we're talking about. Wow. So
3:41
that was the President yada yada yada-ing, one
3:43
of the more famous Thomas Jefferson phrases about
3:45
the tree of liberty needs to be watered
3:47
from time to time with the blood of
3:49
patriots and tyrants. The
3:53
blood of... And
3:56
laughing about the idea of people
3:59
being... able to rise up against their
4:01
government, which is an interesting notion. But,
4:05
and then, you know, that's after. So that's
4:07
just the, that's the message
4:09
there. He starts with the whole,
4:12
I was a professor at UPAN. No you
4:14
weren't. I taught constitutional law. No, go to
4:16
the Washington Post. You don't need to go
4:18
to Fox. Your own favorite
4:20
blue wacky lefty newspaper, the Washington
4:23
Post, has debunked those, Mr. President.
4:26
So stop saying it. That was, that
4:28
was an amazing density of falsehoods
4:31
per minute. But
4:34
unlike, you know, Trump who
4:36
exaggerates wildly and says all sorts of
4:38
crazy stuff. Of course he does. Um,
4:41
Biden there was just making
4:43
up a biography. It's
4:46
easily checked and has been checked repeatedly.
4:48
Well he's senile. You know, I'm gonna read this
4:50
real quick and then Charlie Cook, the fabulous Charlie Cook
4:53
of the National Review wrote a great piece I'm
4:55
gonna hit you with a part of. But
4:57
Dave writes, my mother is 93 and
5:00
suffers from dementia. She was good until about
5:02
a year ago and then her mental and
5:04
physical health took a precipitous drop over the
5:06
last six months. Can't remember anything. Rambles aimlessly,
5:08
loses track of where she is, repeats herself,
5:11
talks about things from her younger days that
5:13
may or may not have happened, sound familiar?
5:15
Yeah, it's eerie and frightening to watch the leader of
5:17
the free world dwindle in the same way. Frankly, I
5:20
don't think he'll make it to election day. And
5:23
Dave, I think you're probably right.
5:27
I still maintain that it's going to become
5:29
so obvious that he's incapable of executing
5:32
the office between now and the Democratic
5:34
Convention in August. I don't think he'll be the candidate,
5:36
but I realize that's kind of a long shot opinion.
5:40
But yeah, mostly because people can't
5:43
picture and people close to Joe Biden and
5:45
the people around him can't picture the mechanism
5:47
for that. Like Mark Halpern wrote the other
5:49
day, if Joe Biden has some secret plan,
5:51
he hasn't told anybody because none of the
5:53
people around him know. Yeah,
5:56
yeah, I think like I say, I
5:58
think events and perceptions will. get
10:00
any votes out of it. I just
10:02
think that's a gesture of abandoning any
10:04
pretense that the Democratic Party has not
10:07
become the party of college
10:09
educated young white women who think with
10:11
their feelings. But I wish
10:13
like their their whole deal. I wish
10:16
you could take it back since it's gonna end
10:18
up costing us like $800 billion or something. I
10:20
mean, the amount that
10:22
it's gonna end up costing us over
10:24
time is in is crazy for a
10:26
variety of reasons we could get into.
10:28
But, oh, I
10:31
see what you're driving at. I wish I wish he could
10:33
say, Oh, wow, it didn't even buy me any votes. Let's
10:35
go back and give the money back to the taxpayer and
10:37
the programs. This is my best idea ever. When
10:40
there is political pandering, people writing
10:42
themselves checks from the Treasury through
10:44
their party of choice, right? And
10:47
it turns out that it didn't
10:49
actually buy them any favor, right? And
10:51
you end the program. Yes, yes, that's
10:54
what I'm saying. Let's end the student
10:56
debt. It's the unsuccessful
10:58
pandering amendment. Yeah, exactly. If you're
11:00
if you're if you're attempt to
11:03
buy votes, buys no votes,
11:05
didn't buy any votes, then you give the money
11:07
back to the taxpayer. There you go. This is
11:09
our contribution to the Republic. All
11:11
these decades of babbling into
11:13
microphones. We finally come up with something to
11:15
help the United States of America. Isn't that
11:18
something that it's a wash among the students
11:20
and the parents who owe the money? It's
11:22
5050 on whether you like
11:24
it or not. Well, it's just it's
11:26
idiotic. It's immoral. It's impractical. It's anti
11:29
progressive. It's unfair. I mean, it's
11:32
just it stinks. Right?
11:35
You can't even get a majority of
11:37
people who would be beneficiaries of
11:39
it to say, wow, that's cool. Nice.

five casino. So I've got
12:40
a gym membership, my son and I. And
12:43
he's working out with the football team. And I'm just over
12:45
with a bunch of
12:47
younger people than me working out. But I
12:49
heard this the other day. So this
12:52
comedian guy's got a podcast. And he
12:54
was talking about he's got a flat
12:56
butt. And so he was
12:59
trying to build up his butt muscles. And he
13:01
got into the topic of activating your glutes. And
13:03
how impossible it is to activate your
13:06
glutes. And unless you can activate your
13:08
glutes, you can't build
13:11
butt muscle like you can other muscles. You don't
13:13
have to activate your biceps
13:15
or your quads, I don't
13:18
think, to lift weights and build them. But you
13:20
do your glutes. I don't know what any of
13:22
that means. And he said there's
13:24
only very specific exercise. So what's any of this
13:26
mean? I'm glad you brought
13:29
this up. Number one, I need to apologize to
13:31
Tiger Woods. Because I remember back when he was
13:33
playing terribly and said, I didn't activate my glutes.
13:35
I need to activate my glutes. We mocked him
13:37
for that. We mocked that mercilessly. The
13:40
great Eldric Woods. And we apologize, both of
13:42
us sincerely and humbly. But so, man, I'm
13:44
glad you brought this up. Because I wanted
13:46
to talk about this anyway. My awful, torturous
13:48
back problems are now so much better. Long
13:52
story short, stretching constantly
13:54
every day and strengthening
13:57
your core. But if you have to start with one
13:59
thing, stretching. America
20:00
in the 21st century. Oh, activating your glutes is
20:02
probably more important for all of us, for our
20:04
day. I'm gonna do that to start with you
20:06
right now. Armstron
20:09
and Getty. The
20:30
following is a high five moment from high five casino
20:32
dot com. Outrage
21:00
on Capitol Hill after eight suspected
21:03
terrorists from Tajikistan were arrested in
21:05
the United States. The
21:07
man who investigators below House Majority
21:09
Leader Steve Scalise blaming President Joe
21:12
Biden's policies. How many more terrorists
21:15
are in our country because Joe Biden
21:17
opened up the southern border and Chinese
21:20
intelligence agents. More
21:22
on that in just a second, but this hour is gonna
21:24
be exciting. So Hunter's stripper baby
21:26
mama has a book coming out. Joe
21:29
Getty has excerpts from the book. That's exciting.
21:33
It's shocking excerpts Jack. We
21:36
will bear all when it comes to
21:38
the sordid life of Hunter Biden. I
21:41
want to talk about the insanity that
21:43
luckily is making national news. The
21:47
subway in New York where they announced anybody
21:49
who's a Zionist needs to get off the
21:51
train now and people
21:54
chanting. What the
21:56
hell is going on? Did
21:59
you say? Berlin in 1936. I
22:02
know it's crazy. Anyhow,
22:06
this story should be getting more intention.
22:09
Eight dudes with ties to
22:11
Isis arrested who would, it
22:14
would be actually better in a
22:17
way if they had snuck across
22:19
the border without encountering anybody. The
22:21
fact that they did encounter
22:23
border patrol and went through the process.
22:25
We currently have in place and
22:28
still got into the country because
22:30
they barely do anything when they
22:32
encounter you. I mean, what
22:35
is the they call it a vetting process?
22:37
What is the vetting process? It's
22:40
utterly insufficient obviously. And so I think
22:42
this is a useful
22:44
screw-up. It's
22:47
so ugly and clearly
22:49
unacceptable. It illustrates the fact that the
22:51
border is so overwhelmed. The folks at
22:53
the border are so overwhelmed any quote-unquote
22:55
vetting they're doing is is
22:57
almost hilariously inadequate. We
22:59
need serious change right
23:01
now. I heard that.
23:03
I know the vast majority of Americans
23:05
agree with us as well on that.
23:07
One of your terrorist experts was on
23:09
some cable channel the other day talking
23:12
about the terrorist attack. We've mostly forgotten
23:14
that happened in outside of
23:16
Moscow with that concert. Remember watching the footage
23:18
of that. They just ran through the building
23:20
shooting people. Yeah,
23:23
somebody could put something like that together in the
23:25
United States. Hopefully those
23:27
were Tijiques to weren't they I didn't I
23:29
don't allegedly I don't remember where they're from
23:31
but they did have the whole Isis ties
23:33
thing and hopefully
23:36
it'd be hard to get your hands on weapons, but I
23:38
don't know that it would be Oh
23:40
in the US now, you
23:43
just go down to it some I
23:45
heard I know of the vast majority
23:47
of Americans agree with us as well
23:49
on that. One of your terrorist experts
23:51
was on some cable channel the other
23:53
day talking about the terrorist attack. We've
23:55
mostly forgotten that happened in outside
23:58
of Moscow with that concert. The

36:00
friendship and unwavering support.
36:03
A new agreement would form the backbone of
36:05
the country's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Right.
36:08
Oh, here it is. I am confident
36:10
that during this visit, the ardent friendship
36:12
between the two countries will be strengthened
36:14
like a monolith. All
36:17
right. I don't
36:20
get the crowd that doesn't
36:22
think we
36:26
need to engage these people. Russia
36:29
and China and North Korea and
36:31
Iran are intertwined in more ways
36:34
than they've ever been. Iran's
36:36
providing weapons to Russia. Russia's
36:39
providing stuff to Iran. It's
36:42
showing up fighting Israel and
36:44
Ukraine and all over the place in China. Of
36:46
course, we know what China is and they're all
36:48
working together and it's terrible.
36:50
It's terrible for the world. This is
36:52
a major world moment. Yeah, it is.
36:54
I think the isolationist crowd, the neo
36:56
isolationists would say, well, they're just doing
36:58
that because the US has pressured them.
37:02
They form a weird kind of alliance
37:06
with the self hating
37:08
liberal. They
37:10
believe that all evil that befalls
37:14
the world that has anything to do with the United States
37:16
is the fault of the United States. Well, I spent a
37:19
decent chunk of my adulthood as a
37:21
near isolationist. So it's not
37:23
like I'm completely out of touch with that thinking.
37:25
I do think I was wrong at this
37:30
point. It would be
37:32
wonderful if isolationism worked. That
37:34
would be great. Yeah, yeah.
37:38
Oh, you don't have to get involved in everything. That's
37:41
certainly true. And we've gotten involved in things we didn't need to get
37:43
involved in. Yeah, I would
37:45
say that's absolutely true. And like most things in life,
37:48
the extreme points of view are very simple
37:50
and easy to understand. And so people like
37:52
them and the truth in
37:55
foreign policy like in life is that,
37:57
no, it's gonna be a bunch of difficult
37:59
judgements. and
38:02
so many of them are going to be like
38:04
right on the margin. You're just not sure. But
38:08
the idea that you can
38:10
just isolate yourself, especially in
38:12
the new global instantaneous communication,
38:15
practically instantaneous weaponry world, it's
38:17
just not true. Yeah, and like I
38:20
mentioned yesterday, you weren't here on Friday
38:22
when we talked to Josh Rogan in
38:24
his article in the Washington Post. U.S.
38:26
military plans a hellscape to deter China,
38:28
and it's pretty damned interesting, but we're
38:30
taking it super seriously as we should
38:33
that China is going to move on Taiwan at some point, and
38:36
it could happen. I don't think there's
38:38
any stopping it, actually. There's a
38:40
quote from Trump where
38:43
Trump said, oh, in the latest interview with
38:45
Time Magazine, when he asked if we would
38:47
defend Taiwan, he said it would depend on
38:49
the circumstances. President Trump once
38:52
told a GOP senator in a
38:55
closed meeting that there isn't a blanking thing
38:57
we can do about it if China decides
38:59
to take Taiwan. I think that's close
39:02
to right. It's going to happen
39:04
in like an hour in some day. All
39:07
these military exercises they have, like the other day,
39:09
where they got the whole island surrounded with ships
39:11
and planes and everything like that, what if they
39:13
actually do it for real? How would we stop
39:15
that? Yeah, it might
39:17
not even be an attack. It would just be a siege.
39:21
But anyway, the hellscape idea
39:23
is we got gazillions of
39:25
unmanned submarines and flying
39:27
drones and all kinds of stuff
39:29
that we would unleash on them
39:31
instantly to try to slow them
39:34
down to buy us some time, because our Pentagon knows that
39:36
they're going to be able to do this in like, you
39:38
know, 15 minutes if they decide to do it. So
39:41
we got to move super duper fast. So
39:43
we got the hellscape that is the drone attack, and
39:45
then that buys us some time. Flood the
39:47
zone with some drones. It's a
39:50
zone drone. Yeah. Exactly. Good
39:54
luck. But I read Josh's
39:56
piece at your recommendation and thought, wow,
39:58
that is really intriguing. and
40:01
I'm not sure I'm buying it. Right.
40:03
Well, I have to say, the incredible
40:07
interconnection of virtually
40:10
all of the economies, no, that's not true. I mean,
40:12
North Korea and Russia aren't that, anyway. Economic
40:16
intertwining is what's holding
40:19
China back at this point. And
40:22
it would not be an easy military
40:25
victory over Taiwan, not by any stretch
40:27
of the imagination. Whether
40:30
it could be turned back is
40:32
a different question. It would probably
40:34
be really quagmirey. So I'm going
40:36
through the America's Cold
40:39
Wars, the David Sanger book, and he
40:41
has got a long piece in there
40:43
about the relationship between Russia and China
40:45
through the years. And Stalin was somewhat
40:47
shocked at one point when Mao, who
40:49
chairman she idolizes and wants to be
40:51
the new Mao, Mao
40:53
told Stalin, I'm perfectly fine with losing
40:56
100 million people if I have to
40:58
defeat the United States. A
41:01
hundred million. Yeah. Now,
41:03
I don't know if she's close to that
41:05
number, but if he was a fraction of
41:07
it, if he's only willing to lose
41:10
a million men, we
41:12
don't have that kind of appetite, nothing within a
41:15
thousand miles. I know. No, and that's one of
41:17
the great weaknesses we have as Americans, is we
41:19
think everybody thinks like us. Maybe
41:22
it's because we're isolated by a couple of
41:24
oceans, but I've mentioned this before in Mein
41:26
Kampf, and Tara Hitler
41:28
mentions that if you're going to be one
41:30
of the great men of history, you have
41:32
to be willing to sacrifice the tens of
41:34
thousands at any moment. And if you don't
41:36
have the gall for that, you're not going
41:38
to be a great man of history. Oof.
41:42
Well, that's rough. Yeah, hellscape. Can
41:44
we, do we actually have a hellscape ready
41:46
to go? That's a secret. I hope we
41:48
do. I hope we have a hellscape of
41:50
drones, submarine drones, submarine drones, and air drones
41:52
at the same time. Very exciting. Flooded
41:55
zone. We need those Chinese, we need those Chinese
41:58
dogs I've seen, the robot dogs. with the machine
42:00
gun on their back. What,
42:02
are they gonna swim? Yeah,
42:04
I guess it wouldn't help in Taiwan. The mechanized dog
42:06
paddle, right? Still would scare ya. If I see one
42:09
of those Chinese metal dogs running at me with a
42:11
machine gun, I'm gonna lose my
42:13
mud, as
42:15
they said in the Civil War. ["Armed
