The only reason why they ever went along with it is because they also grew up the same way we did, watching ABC, NBC, CBS, telling us that Israel is the most important thing in the world.

And if you oppose Israel, you're a devil who hates Jews, et cetera.

By the way, guys, I have Jewish family.

i have like half my friends are jewish my co-founders on the young turks are jewish like this is insanity stop smearing all jews they're like if you're not pro-genocide you're against jews no no no none of my jewish friends are for a genocide none of them okay none of them are for netanyahu none of them are for what the israeli government is doing but the israel first guys agitate and they go no i don't care how good you are to jews you have to hate the jews if you don't like what the israeli government is doing

no i don't have to hate jewish people i don't and i never will i'm a progressive i'm never ever going to distinguish between religions nationalities ethnicities we're all human beings i'm an atheist i'm 100 secular and i don't believe in the rationale of separating out religions etc but you cannot tell me that i cannot criticize a foreign government that's insane if i said to everyone

Erdogan's taking away democracy in Turkey, but that's it.

You're not allowed to say it.

If you say it, I'm going to say you're racist against Turks, and I'm going to ruin your life.

You'd be like, lunatic, right?

But they do it, and they all do it, and that's the gaslighting, and that's what's unbearable.

Now, so the good news is gaslighting is broken on the right-wing side, so they're now having a huge clash.

So for the moment being, the Mark Levin, Ben Shapiro, Laura Loomer crowd,

has begun to quiet down the America First people a tiny bit, partly because the Iran bombing didn't get out of control.

And right now they love what's happening in Venezuela, and they're going around bragging and thumping their chest, going, you see that?

Israel's right.

We should invade every country that we don't like.

And they were helping Iran and Hezbollah.

Yeah, we got rid of them, and we're macho and bald eagle and American flags.

And they got Trump on their side.

So Levin goes out and then bear hugs him, calls him the first Jewish president.
