Highlights

Donald Trump's improbable return to the White House took another huge step forward of the weekend as he crushed Nikki Haley in the Republican primary in a home state of South Carolina the former president didn't even need to turn up for the results choosing instead to give another one of his barnstorming rally speeches to the conservative party action conference and as usual he didn't hold back.

A vote for Trump is your ticket back to Freedom it's your passport out of tyranny and it's your only escape from Joe Biden and his gangs fast track to hell and in many ways we're living in hell right now.

Nationwide poll suggests Trump is on track to beat President Biden November's election so can anything stop him and what will Trump the sequel mean for America and the world here's a debate we have one of Trump's most vocal critics, the hugely influential YouTube political commentator Destiny and the host of fearless on outkick Tommy Len okay.

Every time somebody attacks Biden on his senility I feel like that is a stronger indictment of Trump's own failure as a president I do agree that Biden definitely seems to have slowed down in his older age but I mean he passed so much more legislation than Trump.

I think our foreign policy aims are better than they were under Trump, and I think the way that he manages the rhetoric and the overall attitude of the country is way more responsible than Trump as well and he's not facing 90 plus criminal indictments so that that may well be true.

The perception is that Donald Trump is a little bit younger but has twice the energy twice the dynamism, and all the stuff that's being thrown at him far from defeating him as is usually the case of politicians has empowered him and made him stronger what are the Democrats going to do about that come November.

I think all Democrats can kind of hope for is that the perception of the economy continues to increase consumer sentiment is starting to climb again I think that Trump is also stumbling into a few misspeaks on his own.

When I imitate Biden who can't find the stairs ever she goes like this thank you where am I thank you and then he goes and he points and then you see Tommy the interesting thing with me about Trump I've done him a long time I look at him ws and all good bad ugly there's plenty of all of that with Trump but his supporters love him and one of the reasons I think that he's so popular with so many Americans is because he makes some laugh .

Donald Trump is not somebody who coddles people he's not somebody who is going to coddle Prince Harry and Megan obviously they've said bad things about him and and the Biden Camp the Democrats like Harry and Megan because they feel like maybe they're some kind of liberal Superstars, but you know I think Donald Trump is going to tell it like it is and he doesn't care how much money you have and he doesn't care how many books you've written or what your status is Donald Trump is is going to do what Donald Trump's going to do and Law and Order is going to make a comeback if that unfortunately negatively impacts Prince Harry I don't think I'll be crying myself to sleep at night I don't think you will either Pierce well we don't want him back here this is the problem.

Oh my God is there any debate is this actually a real debate or is who the is this loser this is embarrassing Rabbi schoy is he like a Twitter guy how am I going to survive in a real one-on-one debate this is just real talking speed this is just stupid debate G I can do an interview thank you I can't believe he's giving push back to Norm on this debate and he let this guy yap on the most adoms for like 20 minutes oh my God but he's not going to answer it oh it's just like it's a stupid argument on so many different levels I don't equivocate either with the other sound the uh incorrect use of equivocate alarm oh oh my God these are the types of posts I Bann for my subreddit we get it oh my God.

Just on a technical point I think I was using the word equivocate correctly there and that's I'm wrong I'd have to go back and analyze use of the word equivocate let me be clear the the main criticism yeah the main criticism that I basically have with all with almost all of the Israel Palestine debates is both sides have this hyper specific narrative that tends to Omit every single exculpatory thing from the other side and it drives me crazy.

Whether it's a rabbi on here that's talking about like the Innocence of Israel or even the guy you had on right before saying like well Israel doesn't like to fight we don't like to do that it's like really because Israel has taken advantage of every single military opportunity they've had in the history to expand their territory to saying they don't want to fight is really silly but then on the other hand you get Pro Palestinian people who would say things like well Hamas can be a partner for peace and October 7th was just in response to the horrible concentration camp like conditions of a region of the world that really isn't even doing that bad compared to other places in the region so I just hate how hyperbolized both sides of the argument are address.

I actually don't disagree with you and I thought Rabbi schmo's ad hominum attacks on the professor were completely over the top but actually quite Illuminating about him and his start of debating I don't think he play well with the audience at all and I had a lot of Israelis tweeting me saying why do you keep having this guy on he's so he talks in such an inflammatory manner that it doesn't make us look good so I think that he let himself down a bit there.

And on The Wider point I kind of agree I've had so many of these debates about Israel it's very hard to do anything that doesn't immediately get dragged to the extremities in terms of the debate very hard to reach any point of consensus you know and I find that that's the dispiriting thing about that debate and it may explain why the whole conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine has beg gone 75 years and appears so completely intractable nobody gives an inch.

I mean I think there there's on the ground in Israel Palestine you have that issue where both sides have their basically their myths that Israel fashion themselves as these poor people these poor Jews that wandered into the Middle East and had to fight these impossibly huge Arab armies that had domineering and overwhelming forces power and coordination when in reality post 48 Israel was always in a decent position to fight and that was pretty obvious in their performance in 48 in ' 67 in 73 it was pretty obvious that they had the military capability to survive but then on the other hand you get you know the Palestinian Narrative of they were a poor dispossessed people in their lands who only ever wanted peace.

I think I saw a tweet saying we welcomed Israelis with open arms that's absolutely not true I think that the on the ground narratives contribute to the conflict feeling intractable but unfortunately I think inter nationally I think we feed into the intractability as well because people are that that conflict is so perfect for everybody to have a really strong opinion you've got brown people and white people you've got Jews and Muslims you've got oppressed and oppressors you've got Western Colonial and Middle Eastern country like everybody can have an opinion about this conflict because of the different parties involved and people are so not level-headed when it comes to evaluating what's going on that they end up hyping up both sides and they elevate the expectations to unrealistic levels which means neither side is really willing to actually settle for a realist resolution that might make both sides feel a little bit good and a little bit unhappy.

What do you think a realistic resolution looks like H it I think it's a it's a multifaceted thing but I would say that it has to be some kind of two-state solution and both sides need to be willing to negotiate for peace and this is the hard one both sides probably need to be willing to sacrifice a little bit for peace that means that not every Palestinian is going to be happy with the final resolution it means that a boss might have to suffer you know even more loss of his popularity or whatever Palestinian leader Rises might have to suffer more loss of popularity it might mean on the Israeli side you know similar to uh toan or rine you know negotiators for peace in the past you might have to pay a political price for being a negotiator for peace because sometimes the Israeli people or your canessa doesn't always support you when you're negotiating peace against either Arab states or Palestinians but you need the leadership has to be there that has to be willing to suffer a setback or some loss initially for the peace agreement and then both people need to have some kind of tolerance to say Hey listen we might not get everything we want on the old city that applies to Jews and Muslims or that applies to Israelis and Palestinians or hey we might have to do a lot of land swaps in the West Bank hey all of these settlements that are outside of directly near the green line maybe these do need to be torn down it's but yeah that the conversation we not even a place we could start the conversation on that yet because people don't even know if hamash should exist or not or if Israel has a right to defend itself or if maybe murdering 12200 civilians is a reasonable response to the supposed concentration camp conditions that exist in Gaza.

00:19

hold back a vote for Trump is your

00:22

ticket back to Freedom it's your

00:24

passport out of tyranny and it's your

00:26

only escape from Joe Biden and his gangs

00:30

fast track to hell and in many ways

00:33

we're living in hell right now well

00:36

Nationwide poll suggests Trump is on

00:37

track to beat President Biden November's

00:39

election so can anything stop him and

00:41

what will Trump the sequel mean for

00:43

America and the world here's a debate we

00:45

have one of Trump's most vocal critics

00:47

the hugely influential YouTube political

00:49

commentator Destiny and the host of

00:51

fearless on outkick Tommy Len okay

00:55

Destiny um you voted for Joe Biden last

00:58

time I think it's safe to to assume you

01:00

won't be voting for Donald Trump this

01:02

time but are you comfortable voting for

01:05

Biden given the state that he now

01:08

appears to be

01:09

in every time somebody attacks Biden on

01:12

his senility I feel like that is a

01:14

stronger indictment of Trump's own

01:16

failure as a president I do agree that

01:18

Biden definitely seems to have slowed

01:20

down in his older age but I mean he

01:22

passed so much more legislation than

01:23

Trump I think our foreign policy aims

01:25

are better than they were under Trump

01:26

and I think the way that he manages the

01:28

rhetoric and the overall attitude of the

01:29

country is way more responsible than

01:31

Trump as well and he's not facing 90

01:32

plus criminal indictments so that that

01:35

may well be true uh but the reality is

01:39

perception is often half the battle with

01:41

election campaign the perception is that

01:43

Donald Trump is a little bit younger but

01:46

has twice the energy twice the dynamism

01:48

and all the stuff that's being thrown at

01:50

him far from defeating him as is usually

01:53

the case of politicians has empowered

01:55

him and made him stronger what are the

01:57

Democrats going to do about that come

01:58

November

02:01

I think all Democrats can kind of hope

02:02

for is that the perception of the

02:04

economy continues to increase uh

02:05

consumer sentiment is starting to climb

02:08

again I think that Trump is also

02:10

stumbling into a few misspeaks on his

02:11

own I think there was that clip of him

02:13

mixing up uh Nikki Haley and Pelosi

02:15

there was him talking about I think it

02:17

was the deserts of Vietnam uh both of

02:19

these guys are definitely uh I'd say

02:21

hitting their older age their golden

02:23

years so I don't know if Trump is going

02:25

to be free of any of the misspeaks that

02:27

Biden has found himself stumbling into

02:29

recently as well well Tommy let's just

02:30

play a clip this is of trump doing his

02:33

his Biden impression uh the other day

02:36

when I imitate Biden who can't find the

02:40

stairs ever she goes like this thank

02:43

you where am I thank you and then he

02:50

goes and he

02:52

points and

02:58

then you see Tommy the interesting thing

03:00

with me about Trump I've done him a long

03:02

time I look at him ws and all good bad

03:05

ugly there's plenty of all of that with

03:06

Trump um but his supporters love him and

03:10

one of the reasons I think that he's so

03:12

popular with so many Americans is

03:15

because he makes some laugh uh and I

03:17

watched that speech the other day he was

03:19

very funny uh not always and some of it

03:22

as always with Trump some of the

03:24

hyperbolic rhetoric was a bit alarming

03:26

but actually he was an Entertainer

03:28

entertaining the that's why they like

03:31

him that's why they vote for

03:35

him they like him because he has

03:37

Charisma I like him because he has

03:39

Charisma I also like him because when

03:41

Donald Trump was my president the

03:43

economy is doing well we ended endless

03:46

Wars we started no new Wars there was

03:49

relatively peace around the world with

03:51

Donald Trump at the Helm of the United

03:53

States of America people didn't like

03:54

what he tweeted people didn't like the

03:56

way that he spoke maybe they didn't like

03:58

the way that he dressed or the way that

04:00

his hairstyle was or his fake tan but

04:02

none of that mattered because the United

04:04

States was doing well our border was

04:06

Secure the world was a better place with

04:09

Donald Trump at the helm and when

04:11

Democrats talk about Joe Biden and they

04:13

say oh you know he's slipping a little

04:15

bit my goodness we know that they are

04:18

obviously gaslighting us because we can

04:20

clearly see that Joe Biden is not just

04:22

slipping he was slipping in 2020 he has

04:25

slipped all the way now that we're in

04:27

2024 and it's not just little miss here

04:30

and there everybody has misspeaks they

04:32

mix people up for Joe Biden you have a

04:34

special counsel report that quite

04:36

plainly says we can't go after this man

04:38

for his classified documents because

04:40

he's a well-meaning elderly man with a

04:43

poor memory that says it all right there

04:46

maybe we can't indict him 96 times we

04:48

can't charge him with 96 things because

04:51

he simply is not cognitively there

04:53

enough to be able to withstand it that's

04:55

the leader of the United States that's

04:56

the best the Democrats can do for their

04:58

party I'm sorry you guys better be

05:00

shaking in your boots if that's what

05:02

you're going to go with in November I

05:04

mean Destiny you know I I know your view

05:06

of trump but it's hard to argue with all

05:08

of what Tommy just said isn't it I mean

05:10

the Democrats seem to me to be

05:11

sleepwalking in to a complete disaster

05:14

if they're not careful Biden does look

05:16

from here across the pond anyway like

05:18

someone who can barely string a sentence

05:20

together or stay on his own two feet How

05:22

would how would anyone vote for someone

05:25

given they have to do four years more

05:27

from November as president pres of

05:29

United States the toughest job in the

05:32

world I mean it depends on what you're

05:34

pushing for I mean if you want to elect

05:36

a comedian because he's got good

05:37

Charisma then I agree that Trump

05:38

definitely has better stage presence

05:40

than Biden does um I think if you're a

05:42

Democrat you want to support Biden you

05:43

just have to try to stick in the realm

05:44

of fact Republicans inhabit a totally

05:46

separate world right now I just heard

05:48

Tommy lawen say that we're doing better

05:49

on on the foreign policy front because

05:52

Trump was better for for being an

05:53

endless war as I mean he bombed Syria he

05:55

abandoned Kurdish allies he kicked the

05:57

can down the road in Afghanistan he hit

05:59

had Yemen drone strikes from us he was

06:01

still part of the Saudi lit coalition to

06:02

bomb Yemen uh he didn't do anything

06:04

about Russia's takeover of Crimea I mean

06:06

like the idea that Trump was better on

06:08

any of these areas of foreign policy is

06:10

ridiculous the idea he was better

06:12

Dom

06:13

completely by the way that was OB my

06:17

that was that's that's great Trump still

06:19

didn't do anything about it um even if

06:20

you think that Trump does have good

06:22

ideas for the country he is just failed

06:23

as a leader he's he's a failure of a

06:25

businessman he's a failure of a leader

06:26

he can't get people together to right

06:27

legislation uh Joe Biden and his

06:29

senility was somehow able to pass the

06:31

same infrastructure bill that Donald

06:32

Trump said for four years he was going

06:33

to get done he didn't Donald Trump

06:35

couldn't even repeal and replace

06:36

Obamacare which is what a lot of

06:37

Republicans literally voted him to do

06:39

like the idea that Trump is a competent

06:40

leader is anything more than just a

06:42

comedian or a guy that has funny

06:43

onliners on Twitter is delusional I mean

06:45

can blame him for many things but as

06:46

Tommy said you can't blame him for the

06:48

Takeover of Crimea because that was that

06:50

was years before Trump came into Power

06:52

no no I'm not blame him for the Takeover

06:53

of crime I'm saying that Trump has never

06:55

made a good but difficult foreign policy

06:57

decision if you look at the Doha

06:58

agreement that he made with the Ben he

06:59

kicked the can down the road he says

07:01

that he would be strong on Ukraine the

07:02

only thing he cared about for Ukraine

07:03

was trying to get information about

07:04

Hunter Biden what about what about what

07:07

Joe Biden did in Afghanistan which was

07:10

the most shameful and disgraceful

07:12

overnight fleeing of a country and

07:15

throwing millions of Afghan women back

07:18

to the Taliban walls now you can blame

07:20

Trump all you like for that but the

07:22

bottom line is it happened under Joe

07:24

Biden on his watch he was President it

07:27

was a catastrophic failure

07:29

that evacuation so many allies and

07:32

Friends of the Americans uh were left in

07:35

its wake many people died that day and

07:38

women in Afghanistan have gone back to

07:40

the medieval Dark Ages that's on Joe

07:42

Biden isn't

07:43

it no um if you read the special yeah if

07:47

you read the special Inspector General

07:48

report for Afghanistan the whole reason

07:51

why that pull out happened on that

07:52

timetable because because it was because

07:54

of the Doha agreements that Donald Trump

07:56

signed he drew our troop levels down to

07:58

Historic lows in Afghanistan for when

08:00

Biden came into office because Donald

08:01

Trump put America on a timetable to

08:03

leave that country if Biden wanted to he

08:05

could have come in and undone that but

08:06

then be clear though Destiny you're

08:08

blaming Donald Trump for a decision that

08:10

was taken eight months after he left

08:13

office that decision was taken under

08:15

Donald Trump the timetable was

08:17

established under Donald Trump have to S

08:19

to it Joe Biden's a big boy he's a

08:21

president of the United States I mean

08:22

Tommy it seems to me that the desperate

08:24

attempts is he a big boy Pierce is he a

08:27

big boy I'm not so sure he has use the

08:29

kitty stairs but I just have to jump in

08:31

here because I don't think anybody

08:34

wanted to stay in Afghanistan that

08:36

wasn't the point the time table that

08:37

Donald Trump negotiated there was

08:39

nothing wrong with the timetable Biden's

08:41

withdrawal from Afghanistan was

08:43

catastrophic he didn't have the support

08:45

that he needed he didn't have the

08:46

strategy that he needed it wasn't about

08:48

staying in Afghanistan in perpetuity

08:50

nobody wanted that I'm sure Democrats

08:52

didn't want to be in an endless war in

08:53

Afghanistan either it was the way that

08:55

Biden handled it and every since every

08:58

time since then he has failed when it

09:00

comes to foreign policy now we've got

09:02

Israel at War we've got Ukraine still

09:04

and heading into year what two and a

09:06

half of war that we are still funding

09:08

the world is a much more dangerous place

09:11

and that doesn't even bring me to my

09:12

Southern border where we have 10 million

09:15

illegal immigrants who have invaded on

09:17

Biden's watch I'm sure my friend is

09:19

going to tell me that that is Donald

09:21

Trump's fault as well even though he

09:22

oversaw the most secure border that we

09:24

believe in American history that we know

09:26

of so there is no disputing the record

09:29

you can say that Joe Biden was able to

09:31

sit there as a shadow president while

09:33

things got passed through Democrat

09:35

Chambers Chambers but you can't sit here

09:37

and tell me that the man is cognitively

09:40

well or that he's done anything on his

09:42

own on his own accord to better the

09:44

world of the United States well let me

09:46

ask Desy know this let me ask Destiny my

09:48

favorite question of all my liberal

09:50

friends uh which is do you know how many

09:53

illegal immigrants Barack Obama deported

09:56

in eight years how many illegal immigr

09:59

immigrants did did he Deport or did they

10:01

have like um cont he deported thrown out

10:04

thrown out of the country uh I don't

10:06

know the number of that have have a

10:08

guess for when you say Deport you mean

10:11

somebody that was already in the country

10:12

and they were caught by in the country

10:15

and removed my guess is those numbers

10:17

are always fairly low I probably less

10:19

than a million I have no idea I truly

10:21

have no idea three three million which

10:23

is the greatest number Prat of any

10:26

president in history and earned him the

10:29

monik in Mexico of deporter in Chief and

10:32

yet oddly whenever I talk to my liberal

10:34

friends they never know this they never

10:36

made a fuss at the time they were quite

10:38

comfortable about that happening and I

10:41

look at what's going on on the southern

10:42

border now apparently Biden's going down

10:43

the same day as Trump on Thursday which

10:46

would be fascinating but he hasn't been

10:48

there all I don't think he may have been

10:49

once before in his time as president

10:52

which is insane given how obviously

10:55

problematic the the the southern border

10:58

has become

10:59

what whichever side of the toal Divide

11:01

you're on would you accept

11:03

that would I accept that the border is a

11:05

problem well not only a massive problem

11:07

but that President Biden to date in his

11:10

tenure has done absolutely nothing but

11:13

make it

11:14

worse I don't know about absolutely

11:16

nothing but make it worse I think one of

11:17

the issues right now is Republicans are

11:18

holding up funding to actually uh a

11:21

portion more money to border security uh

11:24

I think that there are definitely border

11:25

problems that exist right now uh that

11:27

definitely need attention but I think

11:29

comparing it to Donald Trump when he was

11:30

able to utilize uh the emergency of

11:32

covid and the fact that the immigration

11:34

numbers were at historic lows over the

11:36

co period and then to say that well look

11:38

he did a way better job than Biden did

11:39

where once Co ends and then everything

11:41

starts to open up again you see a huge

11:43

surge of immigrants isn't the most fair

11:44

comparison but obviously yeah something

11:46

needs to be done with the border of

11:47

course and I hope that Republicans

11:48

approve funding in Congress for

11:49

something to actually be done well Tom

11:51

me that's an interesting point where I

11:52

would be critical I think of your

11:54

position on this because I absolutely

11:57

believe that Ukraine UK has got to be

12:00

helped to defeat Putin or at least hold

12:03

him off because the alternative for the

12:05

West it seems to me is extremely

12:07

dangerous and alarming which is that

12:10

Vladimir Putin seizes large chunks of a

12:14

sovereign Democratic country and is

12:16

allowed to keep it and the idea that

12:18

won't embolden him to just go and do the

12:20

same elsewhere I think is for the birds

12:22

I also think it's for the birds that

12:24

China looking at this won't then

12:26

immediately think about invading and

12:28

taking back

12:32

Taiwan well I would also say this if

12:34

Donald Trump were our president right

12:36

now Putin would have never done that

12:38

because he didn't When Donald Trump was

12:39

in office we mentioned earlier under

12:41

Obama they go in take Crimea under Biden

12:43

go in and try to take Ukraine so Donald

12:47

Trump uh will just say he started no new

12:49

Wars and the world was either respectful

12:52

of Donald Trump or fearful doesn't

12:53

matter which I would also say this we

12:56

don't on on my side when I talk about

12:58

not funding Ukraine anymore it's not

13:00

because we want Putin to take Ukraine

13:02

it's because we understand that here in

13:03

the United States of America we have

13:05

more problems that we have to attend to

13:07

we've got homeless veterans we've got a

13:08

border invasion of our own so the

13:10

thought of sending Doone I to UK I keep

13:14

hearing this but it's a I find it really

13:16

odd to hear any American

13:19

conservatives almost saying Putin should

13:22

be allowed to just take what he's taken

13:25

that would never have happened 20 years

13:26

ago in American political discourse

13:28

there's been a massive sea change in

13:30

conservative mentality to how to deal

13:32

with a Russian dictator um but but

13:35

secondly on on The Wider point about

13:38

Ukraine surely it comes down to this if

13:41

we applied the same mentality to Adolf

13:44

Hitler and World War II we'd all be

13:46

likely speaking German why are we so

13:50

weak about standing up to him in Ukraine

13:53

it's the same as when Hitler invaded

13:57

Poland appears it's not the same because

14:00

Ukraine is a corrupt country so we also

14:02

have to deal with that there are many

14:04

Americans that you'll talk to that

14:05

initially supported aiding and assisting

14:08

Ukraine and then as we sent more and

14:09

more money and as the Pentagon couldn't

14:11

account for a billion dollars in weapons

14:13

and as we're not really sure where the

14:15

accounting is going for this we have a

14:17

lot of concerns as we should because

14:20

we're sending our hard-earned tax

14:21

dollars to a corrupt why corrupt but

14:24

guess what's the number two Ukraine but

14:27

why can't you help Ukraine and fix the

14:29

southern border why does it have to be

14:30

one or the other America has the money

14:33

to do this it has the military Firepower

14:36

to help ukra and it also has the ability

14:38

if it really focuses to sort the

14:40

southern border out I don't understand

14:42

this argument America can't do two

14:44

things at once it's the number one

14:46

superpower in the world isn't it I mean

14:48

it would be nice if we could do two

14:49

things at once with a stroke of a pen

14:52

President Biden could help solve the

14:53

Border crisis he is not going to do that

14:55

it's not a matter of Ken you it's a

14:57

matter of are our Le leaders able to and

14:59

unfortunately they're not but when you

15:01

look at Ukraine which is a corrupt

15:02

country and we're sending our tax

15:04

dollars over there for now going on over

15:06

2 years it's problematic for a lot of

15:08

Americans a lot of Americans don't know

15:10

where our money is going we don't know

15:12

how it's being accounted for we don't

15:13

trust our government or Theirs to tell

15:15

us where it's going so that's where the

15:17

problem Lies We also believe if we

15:20

really want to squeeze Putin and we want

15:21

to squeeze Russia but appears I want to

15:23

say this we should be focusing also on

15:25

American Energy Independence because

15:27

when you have strong American Energy

15:29

Independence that's another way America

15:32

America broadly has America has broadly

15:34

more energy Independence than most

15:36

countries in the world so that's not a

15:38

big problem your Independence for energy

15:41

is very strong compared to most European

15:43

countries Destiny you've listening

15:45

patiently to this uh I want to play a

15:46

clip this is Trump talking about foreign

15:48

policy in his speech at the

15:51

weekend Victor Orban somebody I respect

15:54

greatly a lot of people respect him

15:56

tough guy smart guy he made the

15:58

statement recently he said uh you bring

16:01

back Trump it'll all stop they all

16:04

listen to Trump they respected Trump he

16:06

actually said it stronger than he said

16:07

they were afraid of trump I don't want

16:09

people to be afraid of me but he said

16:11

China was afraid Russia was afraid they

16:13

were all afraid of trump bring him back

16:15

and it'll all go

16:17

back what do you think Jess I mean there

16:20

is an argument to say that Trump's

16:22

irratic unpredictable Style on the

16:24

global stage did make people think twice

16:28

I mean not much of any serious gravity

16:32

happened on his watch he did not as

16:34

Tommy says he didn't launch a new war

16:36

anywhere um is there is there some Merit

16:39

to the madness if you like no uh people

16:43

seem to want to give Trump credit for

16:44

some things like people not starting

16:46

Wars or people not uh engaging in

16:48

certain types of I guess uh

16:50

International armed conflict decisions

16:52

but the reality is that if you analyze

16:54

any of the actual particular things that

16:56

he did when it came to foreign policy

16:58

most of them were the precursors for the

16:59

conflict that we are now blaming on

17:01

Biden for instance I brought up before

17:03

the round of Doha talks that happened

17:05

between the Taliban and the United

17:06

States the Afghanistan government wasn't

17:07

even included in those talks if you look

17:09

at what's happening right now in Israel

17:11

and Palestine the whole Abraham Accords

17:13

where Donald Trump was heralded as

17:14

having peace in the Middle East the

17:15

whole reason that was done uh in a way

17:18

uh was to avoid Israel annexing the west

17:20

bank and to undermine the Palestinians

17:22

there that wanted to negotiate with

17:23

Israel for peace the whole Abraham

17:25

Accords completely cut them out of the

17:26

conversation it's one of the reasons why

17:28

Hamas felt so slighted is one of the

17:29

reasons why Palestinians are engaging in

17:31

more violent activity against Israel is

17:33

because nobody's ever been negotiating

17:34

with them so there's like this very

17:36

superficial view that you can take you

17:37

can say oh Donald Trump was good for

17:39

foreign policy because no new wars

17:41

happened to start under this four-year

17:42

time period but if you look at what he

17:43

was actually setting up in any of the

17:45

countries where the conflict is going on

17:47

all he was doing was setting the stage

17:48

to Kick the Can down the road for future

17:50

conflict to which it has all right

17:51

Destiny what would you give Trump credit

17:54

for what I what domestically or

17:56

internationally anything give him some

17:59

credit for

18:00

something let's see if I had to give

18:02

Trump credit for anything I mean our

18:04

economy was strong under Trump I do

18:05

think sometimes that uh Democrats are

18:08

too heavy-handed when it comes to uh

18:10

things related to welfare or things

18:11

related to taxation I don't like the

18:13

idea of demonizing success I think that

18:15

Republicans typically do a better job or

18:17

did do a better job at things like

18:18

patriotism or championing wealth or uh

18:21

people that were making money so I guess

18:22

I would give Trump I guess General

18:23

credit for things like that I mean I Sav

18:25

money on my taxes and Tommy just to

18:27

return the favor can you think of

18:28

something good to say about Joe

18:34

Biden uh you know when I look at my

18:36

country right now there's not a whole

18:38

lot that I could say about Joe Biden um

18:40

I think he seems like a nice man he

18:43

seems like perhaps a good husband um

18:46

perhaps a good father supporting

18:49

obviously Hunter Biden so he seems like

18:51

he is I'll use the words of the special

18:53

counsel well-meaning elderly man with a

18:55

poor memory I don't think he's a bad

18:57

person I think that he's uniquely bad at

18:59

this job and I think it's time for

19:02

someone to come and make America great

19:04

again and that's I think Destiny wi one

19:07

of the most exploding economies in the

19:09

history of the United States and the

19:10

recovery from covid and all there's not

19:12

in all of the foreign policy guidance we

19:14

have related to Ukraine and Israel

19:15

there's not a single positive thing that

19:17

we can say about Biden's presidency

19:18

right now well no I here's what I would

19:20

say to you again it comes down to

19:21

perception Destiny which is you're not

19:23

wrong to say that the economy is in

19:25

pretty good shape in America comparative

19:26

to most other countries the problem is

19:28

people in America aren't giving Biden

19:30

the credit because his approval ratings

19:32

are in the tank because they basically

19:34

see a a guy who's senile and they don't

19:38

want that person to carry on being

19:40

president 2third of Democrats don't want

19:43

him to run again it's not even a

19:45

republican issue his own party don't

19:47

want him

19:48

to I definitely agree there's perception

19:51

issues but I mean Hey listen we're in

19:52

the media the goal is to fight the

19:54

perceptions because I think the

19:55

perceptions are crafted here and again I

19:57

just I question the auth authenticity of

19:59

people that are calling Biden's job

20:01

performance you know into question

20:02

because of his senility When Donald

20:04

Trump got almost no major legislation

20:06

passed when Donald Trump kicked the can

20:08

down the road on every single large

20:09

issue uh I also think that a lot of the

20:11

perceptions of Americans right now in

20:12

terms of voting for Biden and his

20:14

favorability is having to do with the

20:16

fact that apparently a lot of Americans

20:17

aren't even sure who's going to be on

20:18

the ballot I think a lot of Americans

20:20

still have questions about Biden running

20:21

because of his age a lot of Americans

20:22

still have questions about Trump running

20:24

because of the incoming indictments I

20:25

think it's the month start to creep

20:27

forward I think we might see sentiment

20:28

change especially if the special

20:30

election history over the past few years

20:32

in America has been any indication about

20:33

where American sentiments are feeling in

20:35

terms of supporting Democrats or

20:36

Republicans all I would say in response

20:38

to that is that if you look just at the

20:40

Iowa caucus he didn't even win that in

20:44

2016 but he won it this time by a

20:46

landslide that says to me the support

20:49

for Trump is increasing and remember he

20:51

got 10 Mill nearly 10 million more votes

20:54

in 2020 than he got in 2016 that was

20:56

after four years of if you listen to

20:58

Democrats after four years of the most

21:00

hellish presidency in history 10 million

21:03

more Americans went out and voted for

21:04

him um I just want to switch gears to to

21:06

Tommy I know youve got to go um quickly

21:08

about uh Prince Harry and what Donald

21:11

Trump said about him saying that this is

21:13

in relation to this court case where the

21:16

Biden Administration has been defending

21:18

Harry over an attempt to try and have

21:20

his Visa uh immigration papers made

21:24

public to see whether he admitted his

21:27

drug abuse that he revealed in his book

21:29

because that might disqualify him for

21:31

his right to stay in the country and the

21:33

and it seemed to me the Biden

21:34

Administration through the uh the

21:37

immigration people they put up went out

21:39

of their way to defend Harry saying that

21:41

he may not have even meant what he wrote

21:43

In the book it wasn't facts almost

21:45

basically say look he probably lied so

21:47

we can't take it seriously which is

21:48

pretty damning given it was his

21:50

autobiography but when Trump was asked

21:52

about this he said I wouldn't protect

21:54

him he betrayed the queen that's

21:56

unforgivable he would be on his own if

22:00

it was down to me I would say that's

22:02

quite ominous because if Trump was to

22:03

win the election and win back the White

22:05

House given the way Harry and Megan have

22:08

talked about Trump uh in a very

22:10

disparaging manner I could quite see

22:13

Trump being petty enough to put Harry on

22:15

the first boat out of out of China or

22:17

out of

22:21

America well I'll tell you this there

22:23

are a lot more people that need to be

22:25

deported that have come to our country

22:27

illegally a lot for Donald Trump to do

22:29

on day one to get our country back on

22:31

track but I will say this Donald Trump

22:34

is not somebody who coddles people he's

22:36

not somebody who is going to coddle

22:39

Prince Harry and Megan obviously they've

22:41

said bad things about him and and the

22:43

Biden Camp the Democrats like Harry and

22:45

Megan because they feel like maybe

22:47

they're some kind of liberal Superstars

22:49

but you know I think Donald Trump is

22:51

going to tell it like it is and he

22:52

doesn't care how much money you have and

22:54

he doesn't care how many books you've

22:55

written or what your status is Donald

22:57

Trump is is going to do what Donald

22:58

Trump's going to do and Law and Order is

23:00

going to make a comeback if that uh

23:02

unfortunately negatively impacts Prince

23:04

Harry I don't think I'll be crying

23:05

myself to sleep at night I don't think

23:06

you will either Pierce well we don't

23:09

want him back here this is the problem

23:11

uh this could be a nightmare for for the

23:12

Brits he's so unpopular here Tommy you

23:15

got to go thank you very much indeed for

23:16

joining us I appreciate it good luck

23:18

with your own show uh which you're going

23:19

to tape now and thank you for joining us

23:22

um Des you're going to stay with me

23:23

because I want to talk to you about uh

23:25

your response to last week debate on

23:28

uncensored between Professor Norman

23:30

finlin and Rabbi schooly I think it's

23:33

fair to say you weren't massively

23:35

complimentary let's take a

23:37

look oh my God is there any debate is

23:40

this actually a real debate or is who

23:41

the is this loser this is embarrassing

23:44

Rabbi schoy is he like a Twitter guy how

23:46

am I going to survive in a real

23:47

one-on-one debate this is just real

23:48

talking speed this is just stupid debate

23:51

G I can do an interview thank

23:53

you I can't believe he's giving push

23:55

back to Norm on this debate and he let

23:57

this guy yap on the most adoms

24:00

for like 20 minutes oh my God but he's

24:02

not going to answer it oh it's just like

24:05

it's a stupid argument on so many

24:06

different levels I don't equivocate

24:08

either with the other sound the uh

24:10

incorrect use of equivocate alarm oh oh

24:12

my God these are the types of posts I

24:13

Bann for my subreddit we get it oh my

24:17

God just on a technical point I think I

24:19

was using the word equivocate correctly

24:21

there and that's I'm wrong uh I'd have

24:23

to go back and analyze use of the word

24:25

equivocate let me be clear the uh stuff

24:27

we do on stream is obviously way more

24:29

relaxed than this environment but the uh

24:31

the main criticism yeah the main

24:32

criticism that I basically have with all

24:34

with almost all of the Israel Palestine

24:35

debates is both sides have this hyper

24:38

specific narrative that tends to Omit

24:40

every single exculpatory thing from the

24:41

other side and it drives me crazy so

24:44

whether it's a rabbi on here that's

24:45

talking about like the Innocence of

24:47

Israel or even the guy you had on right

24:48

before saying like well Israel doesn't

24:49

like to fight we don't like to do that

24:51

it's like really because Israel has

24:52

taken advantage of every single military

24:53

opportunity they've had in the history

24:54

to expand their territory to saying they

24:56

don't want to fight is really silly but

24:57

then on the other hand you get Pro

24:58

Palestinian people who would say things

25:00

like well Hamas can be a partner for

25:01

peace and October 7th was just in

25:03

response to the horrible concentration

25:05

camp like conditions of a region of the

25:07

world that really isn't even doing that

25:09

bad compared to other places in the

25:11

region so I just hate how hyperbolized

25:13

both sides of the argument are address I

25:15

actually don't disagree with you and I

25:16

thought Rabbi schmo's ad hominum attacks

25:18

on the professor were completely over

25:20

the top uh but actually quite

25:22

Illuminating about him and his start of

25:25

debating I don't think he play well with

25:26

the audience at all and I had a lot of

25:29

Israelis uh tweeting me saying why do

25:31

you keep having this guy on he's so he

25:33

talks in such an inflammatory manner

25:35

that it doesn't make us look good so I

25:37

think that he let himself down a bit

25:38

there um and on The Wider point I kind

25:40

of agree I've had so many of these

25:41

debates about Israel it's very hard to

25:44

do anything that doesn't immediately get

25:47

dragged to the extremities in terms of

25:49

the debate uh very hard to reach any

25:52

point of consensus you know and I find

25:55

that that's the dispiriting thing about

25:57

that debate and it may explain why the

25:59

whole conflict in the Middle East

26:01

between Israel and Palestine has beg

26:03

gone 75 years and appears so completely

26:05

intractable nobody gives an

26:09

inch yeah I mean I think there there's

26:12

on the ground in Israel Palestine you

26:14

have that issue where both sides have

26:16

their basically their myths that Israel

26:19

fashion themselves as these poor people

26:20

these poor Jews that wandered into the

26:22

Middle East and had to fight these

26:23

impossibly huge Arab armies that had

26:25

domineering and overwhelming forces

26:27

power and coordination when in reality

26:30

uh post 48 Israel was always in a decent

26:33

position to fight and that was pretty

26:34

obvious in their performance in 48 uh in

26:37

' 67 in 73 it was pretty obvious that

26:39

they had the military capability to

26:41

survive but then on the other hand you

26:42

get you know the Palestinian Narrative

26:44

of they were a poor dispossessed people

26:45

in their lands who only ever wanted

26:47

peace I think I saw a tweet saying we

26:48

welcomed Israelis with open arms that's

26:51

absolutely not true uh I think that the

26:53

on the ground narratives contribute to

26:55

the conflict feeling intractable but

26:56

unfortunately I think inter nationally I

26:58

think we feed into the intractability as

26:59

well because people are that that

27:02

conflict is so perfect for everybody to

27:03

have a really strong opinion you've got

27:05

brown people and white people you've got

27:07

Jews and Muslims you've got oppressed

27:09

and oppressors you've got Western

27:11

Colonial and Middle Eastern country like

27:13

everybody can have an opinion about this

27:15

conflict because of the different

27:15

parties involved and people are so not

27:18

level-headed when it comes to evaluating

27:19

what's going on that they end up hyping

27:21

up both sides and they elevate the

27:23

expectations to unrealistic levels which

27:24

means neither side is really willing to

27:26

actually settle for a realist

27:28

resolution that might make both sides

27:29

feel a little bit good and a little bit

27:30

unhappy what do you think a realistic

27:32

resolution looks

27:35

like H it I think it's a it's a

27:38

multifaceted thing but I would say that

27:40

it has to be some kind of two-state

27:42

solution and both sides need to be

27:44

willing to negotiate for peace and this

27:46

is the hard one both sides probably need

27:48

to be willing to sacrifice a little bit

27:50

for peace that means that not every

27:52

Palestinian is going to be happy with

27:53

the final resolution it means that a

27:55

boss might have to suffer you know even

27:57

more loss of his popularity or whatever

27:58

Palestinian leader Rises might have to

28:00

suffer more loss of popularity it might

28:01

mean on the Israeli side uh you know

28:04

similar to uh toan or rine you know

28:07

negotiators for peace in the past you

28:08

might have to pay a political price for

28:09

being a negotiator for peace because

28:11

sometimes the Israeli people or your

28:13

canessa doesn't always support you when

28:14

you're negotiating peace against either

28:16

Arab states or Palestinians but you need

28:18

the leadership has to be there that has

28:20

to be willing to suffer a setback or

28:22

some loss initially for the peace

28:23

agreement and then both people need to

28:25

have some kind of tolerance to say Hey

28:27

listen we might not get everything we

28:28

want on the old city that applies to

28:30

Jews and Muslims or that applies to

28:32

Israelis and Palestinians or hey we

28:33

might have to do a lot of land swaps in

28:35

the West Bank hey all of these uh

28:37

settlements that are outside of directly

28:38

near the green line maybe these do need

28:40

to be torn down uh it's but yeah that

28:43

the conversation we not even a place we

28:44

could start the conversation on that yet

28:45

because people don't even know if hamash

28:47

should exist or not or if Israel has a

28:48

right to defend itself or if maybe

28:50

murdering 12200 civilians is a

28:52

reasonable response to the supposed

28:53

concentration camp conditions that exist

28:55

in Gaza yeah I mean you did a debate

28:57

with uh Jak yugu who's been on this show

29:00

many times in you said about deaths and

29:02

Gaza the ratio of Hamas to civilians

29:05

kill were good ratios but I'm not I'm

29:08

not sure about that I'll tell you why

29:10

the problem I have with the whole death

29:12

rate in in Gaza especially when there's

29:15

a comparison made to World War II and

29:17

how many uh German civilians were killed

29:19

and so on is that there is a unique

29:21

population in Gaza of 50% children now

29:25

50% of of the 2 million under 18 that's

29:28

a million kids running around in Gaza

29:32

and already we've seen 30,000 civilians

29:35

killed with 70,000 more wounded many

29:38

many of whom are children and that that

29:41

is something I've not seen in any recent

29:44

conflict and that's what makes it

29:46

uniquely horrific to

29:49

people I agree that it makes it uniquely

29:51

horrific to people I think it's really

29:52

important to have a good understanding

29:54

of why uh International humanitarian law

29:56

or more specifically international law

29:58

of armed conflict exists I think that

30:00

people have a really poor understanding

30:02

that the law of armed conflict exists to

30:04

make it so that the fight is even on

30:05

both sides but that's not true it exists

30:07

for two very important reasons one is to

30:09

protect civilians and the second is to

30:11

ensure that Nations have a right to

30:12

defend themselves if either one of these

30:14

fail nobody would care about the law of

30:16

armed conflict I think the difficulty

30:19

that Israel has right now in conducting

30:20

their war against Hamas is that their

30:23

cause for war wanting to do something

30:25

about Hamas I think is undeniable

30:28

righteous that if you've got a

30:30

organization that comes in they kill uh

30:32

you know some 1100 1200 citizens and

30:34

then they you know capture hostage 200

30:36

more U not only has Hamas not had a good

30:38

cause for war not only have they

30:40

committed multiple war crimes and the

30:42

actual Commission of the October 7th

30:43

attack it gives Israel a justification

30:45

to attack now Israel's conduct in war is

30:47

a second question it's a very difficult

30:49

question to answer when people try to

30:50

evaluate if the conduct is good or bad

30:52

they often times just look at the number

30:53

of Civilian deaths but when you're

30:55

actually evaluating from a legal

30:57

perspective on whether or not attacks

30:58

are good or not the obligation for the

31:00

belligerent for the attacking party is

31:02

just to try to do what they can to

31:03

reduce civilian casualties now civilian

31:06

casualties are tragic they absolutely

31:08

are but Hamas also has a responsibility

31:10

as the sole administrator in the region

31:12

to Shield their population not use them

31:13

as human Shields to make sure their

31:15

population is allowed to flee not tell

31:16

them to stay in their homes when Israel

31:18

roof knocks when they make phone calls

31:19

when they drop leaflets uh when they

31:21

give advanced notice when they give

31:23

whole region wide uh text messages right

31:25

Israel is doing what they can more than

31:27

other country has in any type of armed

31:29

conflict to try to warn the civilian

31:30

population to flee but for a variety of

31:32

reasons they're not doing it some due to

31:33

Hamas some maybe due to their fears of

31:35

getting attacked anyway because

31:36

obviously there have been tons of places

31:38

that have come under attack even places

31:39

in the South but I just think it's

31:40

important to note that when we're

31:41

criticizing Israel it can't be on the

31:43

absolute number of deaths uh it has to

31:45

be on things like when the three

31:46

hostages came out and they were shot by

31:47

the IDF those are things we like well

31:49

hold on these guys were wearing white

31:50

flags why are you shooting at these

31:51

people that's not good it can't just be

31:53

on the absolute number of casualties

31:54

because if that's the fixation then in

31:56

the future no nation is going to

31:58

consider any laws of armed conflict when

31:59

going to war they going to say oh well

32:01

they don't care what the ratios are they

32:02

don't care our targeting decisions

32:04

they're just upset that civilians are

32:05

dying which unfortunately and tragically

32:06

always happens in the course of War if

32:08

you were the parent of one of the 12,000

32:11

or so children who've been killed by

32:14

Israeli air strikes would you willingly

32:19

and quickly buy into a Brave New World

32:21

of living peacefully side by side with

32:24

Israel or would you be impl determined

32:28

to exact revenge for the slaughter of

32:30

your

32:31

child feel like on a personal level uh

32:33

especially somebody that has a child I

32:35

feel like I would want to fight till the

32:36

end of the until the end of time that's

32:38

my point so so that that is the natural

32:41

human reaction which surely tens of

32:45

thousands of

32:46

Palestinian fathers mothers brothers

32:49

sisters grandparents they're going to

32:51

have to this Slaughter of the children

32:54

and so I don't understand why Israel

32:56

thinks it's not just building for itself

32:58

a potentially even bigger problem down

33:01

the line in terms of the radicalization

33:04

through deaths of children of the people

33:07

who love those

33:08

kids I understand what you're saying but

33:11

after World War II I mean we all got

33:13

along after that in a surprisingly short

33:15

amount of time given how horrific some

33:17

of the Japanese crimes were in China

33:19

given how given how horrific Germany's

33:21

crimes were around all of Europe or

33:23

relating to concentration camps or death

33:24

camps like it is possible to mend those

33:26

brid I do agree right now that Israel

33:28

might be contributing towards more

33:30

hatred of them of Jewish people of

33:32

Israeli citizens in the Gaza Strip

33:33

that's undeniable but then the question

33:35

becomes well who's responsible for

33:37

managing Israeli uh public relations in

33:40

the Gaza Strip if you ask an Israeli

33:42

citizen like hey aren't you worried that

33:44

you're going to radicalize people in the

33:45

gaza's trip what Israeli citizens are

33:46

thinking of is they're either thinking

33:48

of uh watching the video of that girl go

33:51

back on the back of the truck where

33:52

everybody's like clapping and cheering

33:53

and they're thinking well they hate us

33:54

anyway or they're thinking of the second

33:56

into with our four or five years worth

33:58

of attacks from 200 to 20045 and Israel

34:01

think well they already hate us anyway

34:02

in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip

34:03

they're thinking of the Martyr fund

34:05

they're thinking there are so many

34:06

different aspects of this conflict that

34:08

I agree Israel is giving Palestinians

34:10

good cause to hate them the Palestinians

34:11

have given Israelis good cause to hate

34:12

and not trust them either and this is

34:14

one of the problems that we talked about

34:15

the very beginning the Mythos run so

34:17

deep on both sides that they're both

34:18

infinitely Justified morally if they

34:20

want to hate each other forever but

34:21

obviously that's not a conductive Road

34:23

forward towards anything peaceful J I

34:25

know you got a big uh debate coming up

34:27

yourself with Professor Norman finlin

34:29

hosted by Lex Freeman that is going to

34:30

be huge you feeling ready for

34:33

that uh the three people involved are

34:36

all Giants in this field I am definitely

34:40

a newcomer I'm definitely like a

34:41

YouTuber streamer person uh I hope that

34:43

rhetorically I'm able to hang on to the

34:45

conversation obviously I've done a

34:46

decent amount of research and reading

34:48

but obviously the three of these figures

34:49

involved uh yeah have have a much

34:51

greater background than me in this issue

34:53

so I'm not going in with any illusion

34:54

that I'm I'm the subject matter expert

34:56

here my debate partner for this is Benny

34:57

Morris and this guy knows more about

35:00

anything related to you know 48 history

35:02

and everything so I'm probably going to

35:02

be leaning on his historical knowledge

35:04

quite a bit rest assured I will be live

35:07

commentating uh to return the

35:09

favor I look forward to the uh to the

35:12

back and forth videos and the reaction

35:14

videos Destiny great try to use

35:16

equivocate incorrectly so yeah yeah

35:18

thanks for having me nice to see you

35:19

take

35:25

care
