TO JOE BIDEN.
THE QUOTE "PRO-PALESTINIAN
PROTESTERS."
OUR BACKED BY A SURPRISING
SOURCE.
BIDEN'S BIGGEST DONORS.
>> Judge Jeanine: I WANT TO
TALK ABOUT THIS IS
MOSES CEASE-FIRE THAT
WAS NEGOTIATED IN EGYPT OR --
HAMAS HAS AGREED TO A
CEASE-FIRE.
HAMAS WAS NEGOTIATING WITH
ITSELF BEAR THE CRAZIEST PART OF
ALL THIS IS THAT HAMAS BROKE A
CEASE-FIRE ON OCTOBER 7TH AT A
TIME WHEN ISRAEL WAS NOT IN GAZA
AS THEY ARE NOW.
THE WHOLE IDEA OF A
CEASE-FIRE -- THE WHOLE THING IS
BIZARRE.
EVERYTHING FROM ISRAEL NOT BEING
PART OF THIS SO-CALLED
CEASE-FIRE.
FROM OCTOBER 8TH ON FORWARD AND
FORWARD, THE UNITED STATES AND
MOST OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN
TELLING ISRAEL, YOU CANNOT
PROSECUTE THIS WAR THE WAY
EVERYONE ELSE IS PROSECUTING THE
WAR.
THAT WAY WE PROSECUTED THE WAR
AFTER PEARL HARBOR.
HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF JAPANESE DID WE KILL?
HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF GERMANS DID WE KILL WITH THE
ALLIED FORCES?
IN THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS IN
AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, ISRAEL IS TOLD
HOW YOU HAVE TO PROSECUTE A WAR.
THE FACT THAT YOU CAN EVEN TALK
ABOUT A CEASE-FIRE WITHOUT
TALKING ABOUT HOSTAGES, 138.
HOW ABOUT THE FIVE AMERICAN
HOSTAGES.
JOE BIDEN DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE M.O. AND
THE ARMAMENTS THAT ARE SUPPOSED
TO GO THERE HAVE BEEN CANCELED
OR ARE BEING HELD BACK.
IF THE WHOLE POINT IS TO MAKE IT
LOOK LIKE ISRAEL IS GOING TO
ATTACK THE PALESTINIANS, THE
TRUTH IS THAT ISRAEL HAS DONE
MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY.
THEY STOPPED OF THE WAR TO BRING
IN THE MEDICS, TO BRING IN THE
FOOD, TO BRING IN THE WATER.
AND THEY TELL THEM WHERE THEY
ARE GOING TO FIGHT.
AND YET, THE ARAB NATION WON'T
TAKE CARE OF THE PALESTINIANS.
THEY WON'T TAKE THEM.
THE QUEEN FROM JORDAN WHOSE
HUSBAND IS LOOKING -- I DON'T
KNOW -- ONE OF THE SUNDAY SHOWS.
SHE SUPPORTS THAT AMERICANS WHO
ARE DISRUPTING ON COLLEGE
CAMPUSES SAYING, YES, YOU KNOW,
IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT THE
AMERICANS STOOD UP FOR THE
PALESTINIANS.
YOU SLEEP WITH YOUR HUSBAND.
HE IS THE KING.
YOU BRING THE PALESTINIANS TO
JORDAN.
AND FINALLY, THIS CEASE-FIRE IS
ALL ABOUT DELAY.
THAT IS ALL THAT IS GOOD RIGHT
NOW, HAMAS HAS 4 BIG GRADES AND
ROUGH.
HAMAS HAS KILLED 3 IDF SOLDIERS
IN A HUMANITARIAN ZONE.
I AM PERSONALLY TIRED OF
EVERYONE TRYING TO STOP ISRAEL
FROM PROSECUTING A WAR WHERE
HAMAS CAME IN THEY KILLED A
THOUSAND ISRAELIS.
IT DIDN'T KILL THEM, THEY
MASSACRE THEM.
>> Jesse: GOING CRAZY AT YOUR
ALMA MATER, THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN.
>> Harold: THEY HAVE A LITTLE
ENERGY UP THERE.
I AGREE WITH WHAT THE JUDGE HAS
SAID.
I THINK WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT
THAT COLLEGE CAMPUSES, I THINK
THE PERSON WHO HAS REALLY
IMPARTED THE RIGHT MESSAGE -- I
HOPE IT BECOMES A SYMBOL FOR
THESE THINGS WHERE THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA.
A FORMER SENATOR FROM NEBRASKA,
HE LAID IT OUT LIKE A LOT OF US
HAVE TRIED TO BRING OUT ON THIS
THAT
SUPPORT FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
WE SUPPORT FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY
AND
AS SOON AS YOU CROSS THAT LINE,
AS SOON AS YOU BELIEVE THAT
VANDALISM, INTIMIDATION, OR
VIOLENCE ARE PROTECTED BY AND/OD
THEN EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL.
THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE
POSITION TAKEN BY EVERYONE FROM
THE OUTSET.
WE CAN'T LOOK BACK.
WE'VE GOT TO LOOK FORWARD.
FOLLOW WHAT HE IS DOING TO
ENSURE THAT KIDS CAN GET A
GRADUATION BUT MORE
GET AN EDUCATION.
AS PART OF THE DEBATE.
NOT I AM RIGHT THEN YOU'RE WRONG
AND I'M GOING TO BE VIOLENT
AGAINST YOU.
CRITICAL DEBATE AND CRITICAL
THOUGHT IS HAVING A MEANINGFUL
ROBUST SERIOUS CONVERSATION AND
RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER.
DR. KING DID THAT.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO EXAMINE
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARGUE THAT THIS
IS A TRADITION OF PROTEST.
THERE IS NO TRADITION OF
SUCCESSFUL PROTEST THAT SUCCEED
WITH THAT KIND OF VIOLENCE AND
INTIMIDATION THAT WE ARE SEEING
ON CAMPUS.
ALL OF THOSE EFFORTS FAIL.
>> Jesse: WHY DO YOU THINK
COLUMBIA CANCEL GRADUATION?
>> Greg: BECAUSE THEY ARE
WEAK.
I HAVE A SLOGAN.
BY THE WAY, HAROLD, YOU HAVE --
YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM A SERIOUS
CASE OF DAD BRAIN.
AND IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE.
WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IS WHAT WE
ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW IS
INTERNET BRAIN.
THIS IS ALL OF THESE KIDS.
THEIR BRAINS HAVE BEEN TAKEN
OVER BY GARBAGE THAT HAS BEEN
SOLIDIFIED BY ACTIVISTS ON THE
INTERNET.
THIS HEALTHY TREND.
YOU ARE SEEING DAD BRAIN.
WHEN THE KIDS GO, I'M GOING TO
TAKE A TENT AND PUT ON THE
CAMPUS QUAD.
DAD BRAIN SAYS NO.
WE PAY 70 GRAND.
YOU ARE GOING HOME AND YOU'RE
GOING TO STUDY.
THE DAD BRAIN IS VERY PATIENT UP
TO A POINT.
YOU CAN SEE IT EMERGE.
THE INTERNET AMPLIFIES THESE
GLOBAL ISSUES.
SO THEY MAKE YOU FEEL IMPORTANT
BUT ALSO HELPLESS.
YOU WORRY ABOUT CLIMATE CHANGE
IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND GLOBAL
INEQUALITY.
YOU CAN'T DO FOR IT.
IT MAKES YOU FEEL REALLY GOOD.
DAD BRAIN COMES OVER AND SAYS
ENOUGH WITH HAMAS, PAY YOUR
PHONE BILL.
THAT IS GOING TO HELP YOU.
YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING
THERE.
WE SHOULD REALLY EAT INSECTS TO
HELP THE PLANET.
IT'S MOTHER'S DAY COMING UP.
DID YOU GET YOUR MOM A CARD?
ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO BRUNCH
WITH HER?
WHAT DAD BRAIN IS DOING -- YOU
ARE SEEING WHAT THESE COLLEGE
PRESIDENTS.
IS THERE A LOCALIZING CONCERNS
OF THE STUDENTS.
THE WORLD OUT THERE, THAT IS
GOING TO EXIST.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT RIGHT HERE.
CLEAN YOUR ROOM.
TAKE YOUR CAR TO A CAR WAS.
LOOK FOR A SUMMER JOB.
AS LONG AS YOU SIT THERE AND
TRANSPLANT ALL YOUR CONCERN FOR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS, YOUR ENTIRE
LIFE SUFFERS.
A LOT OF THESE PROTESTERS HAD
SUCH TERRIBLE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
THEIR FAMILIES.
THEY PRIORITIZE THESE AMORPHOUS
ISSUES.
THAT MAKES THEM FEEL BETTER.
IT ALSO MAKES THEM FEEL
HOPELESS.
THE DAD BRAIN THROUGH FLORIDA
AND ELSEWHERE, THERE'S ANOTHER
GUY THAT'S REALLY GOOD.
I CAN THINK OF HIS NAME.
MIB HAROLD FORD.
THEY ARE STEPPING UP, AND THEY
ARE SAYING, OKAY.
WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF
THIS NOW.
YOU'VE PUT ON YOUR LITTLE SHOW.
WE ARE GOING TO DINNER AT
APPLEBEE'S.
PUT ON YOUR CLOTHES.
>> Jesse: WE ARE GOING TO HAVE
A DAD WITH HER DAD BRAIN ON.
VERY UPSET ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER'S
GRADUATION BEING CANCELED.
>> Dana: THE COLD OPEN WAS
ABOUT A DAD WHO SAID I DIDN'T
WORK ALL THESE EXTRA JOBS TO GO
THROUGH THE COVID YEARS TO GET
MY DAUGHTER TO COLUMBIA SO I CAN
GO TO GRADUATION WITH HER.
AND "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" IS
DOING THAT AS A COLD OPEN, IT
HAS PENETRATED.
80% OF AMERICANS WANT TO SUPPORT
ISRAEL.
I DON'T SEE WHY IT'S HARD FOR
BIDEN TO GET ON THAT.
HE WILL SAY, I DO SUPPORT
ISRAEL.
HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY IS
TODAY AND WE DO REMEMBER WHERE
THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A STORY
OUT THERE THAT SAYS THAT THE
BIDEN TEAM IS DECIDED NOT TO
SEND WEAPONS THAT CONGRESS HAS
APPROPRIATED TO ISRAEL.
THE WHITE HOUSE DECLINES TO
COMMENT.
THE DOD DECLINES TO COMMENT.
NATIONAL SECURITY COUNSEL
DECLINED TO COMMENT.
WHAT DOES THAT TELL ME?
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.
I THOUGHT YOU GOT IMPEACHED FOR
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
THE ONLY WAY FOR THIS WAR TO END
IS FOR ISRAEL TO WIN IT.
IF YOU WANT THIS TO END.
IF YOU WANT THE SUFFERING OF THE
PEOPLE IN GAZA TO END, IF THE
QUEEN WANTS -- JORDAN IS MADE UP
OF 80% PALESTINIANS.
IF YOU WANT THE PALESTINIAN
PEOPLE DO HAVE A BRIGHTER FUTURE
GET WHAT YOU SAY FREE PALESTINE
FROM HAMAS.
GET THE HOSTAGES RETURNED AND
READ MEMBER OF THE HOLOCAUST AND
NEVER FORGET AND ACTUALLY MEAN
IT.
>> Jesse: BIDEN NEEDS TO USE
HIS DAD BRAIN TO GET IT
TOGETHER.
>> Harold: I WAS REALLY
SURPRISED AT THE QUEEN.
I COULD UNDERSTAND HER SAYING WE
SUPPORT THE SCHOOL PROTEST.
SHE DIDN'T DISTINGUISH.
