so that we know what she believes that she's not even just some fringe radical as you point out megan this is a sitting member of congress and i want nothing to do with her views i really want nothing to do with her and while while we're booting radical grad students out of the country we should probably boot these radicals out of congress you know
of course you know it i'm glad actually i think that was a gift you gave to me that we don't need to listen to nicole wallace right now megan because you you don't need to go very far to disprove her claim that you know white men are the great violent threat in the country you can look at crime statistics and you can listen to what other people are saying but this has been true for a long time that the left made
much hay over January 6th, the worst day in the history of this or any republic. But of course, not only was that not the worst attack ever on the Capitol, it's probably not even in the top three. And when you look at violent attacks on the Capitol, including congressmen being shot, they were almost always perpetrated by radical leftists.
The radical left has embraced political violence, going back at least to the French Revolution, when the term left in a political sense was first invented. So, this is a long-standing problem, and there's no surprise whatsoever. You have to ask yourself, on this particular issue, the Intifada and the Free Free Palestine movement, what are they really saying?
They're saying that we need to get rid of the State of Israel. Because even if you say, okay, hold on, you don't think that the State of Israel was justified in going to war against Gaza after the Gazans attacked them on October 7th a couple years ago? They would say, well, it didn't start then. Actually, some of them would even defend October 7th as a justified response to Israeli oppression.
And if you keep scratching that deep enough, you get down to their ultimate claim, which is that the state of Israel has no right to exist. They shouldn't have been there in the first place. And I say, okay, I'll keep an open mind. What's the argument for that? Because when I look at the foundation of the state of Israel, I see the Balfour Declaration.
So the empire that controlled the land, the British Empire, said the Jews can have a territory in this land. Then I see the UN establishing the state of Israel. So if you believe in international law at all, I guess you'd have to recognize that. And then the Israelis fought a war in 1948 to take the land. So even by the law of conquest, you see the establishment. And so you might say,
well, I don't like how that war turned out, or the subsequent wars. You might say, I don't like the UN. You might say, I don't like the British Empire. But if you accept the most basic premises of our international system, going back to the Peace of Westphalia, it's really hard to make a coherent argument for the ethnic cleansing that the Free Free Palestine movement wants to effect.
So then at that point, with logic gone totally out the window, All that the political movement can come down to is a kind of senseless violence where they're going to start murdering civilians to affect political ends, which is the basic definition of terrorism that was always built in.
And if you've fallen for this kind of rhetoric up until this point, I think at this moment, you have to say, all right, this is a bridge too far. And as is often the case in politics, you kind of have to pick a side.
It wasn't a tough question. It's so easy.
Even if you are the most pro-free, free Palestine person in Congress, and she might actually hold that title. She's definitely up there.
At the very least, you're asking, couldn't you just say, oh, yes, we're praying for the victims. Rick, we asked Scott and Pache, you know, I'll say a prayer and move on. If you can't muster even that most basic, I mean, look, when, when, uh, Any political opponent gets sick. Joe Biden just got sick. He just announced he had cancer.
Every single Republican I saw, no matter how much they despise Joe Biden, they said, okay, well, we say prayer. Cancer's awful. He's a fellow human being. I'll raise him up in prayer. That's the most basic thing you could possibly say. She couldn't muster that. It just shows the level of contempt with which she holds her opponents.
Well, ironically, Ilhan's point of view is actually the way that I view Ilhan Omar. I said, don't worry about this crazy lady. Forget about her. Ignore her. Maybe maybe boot her out of Congress when you have the chance.
As you describe the victims, Megan, I mean, this to me, maybe it's just that I'm not ideological enough. Maybe I'm not smart enough to figure it out. But when I look at politics, I think very practically, I think very in a prudential way. And you see the alleged perpetrator and you see the victim.
And you got to ask yourself, I don't care if you're Jewish, I don't care if you believe in Zionism, if you accept the religious and historical premises of Zionism. Many people don't. Most people don't, especially if you're Christian. But just in a practical matter, Who do you have more in common with? Even beyond questions of justice, who do you have more in common with?
Who do you think is more on your side? The lunatic shouting free, free Palestine, murdering a young, innocent couple that probably despises America. In fact, we know he despises America because he sided with the socialists and the communists and BLM.
The tweet makes it pretty clear. He says it himself. That person or the victims? Who do you think you have more? Who do you think is more on your side? Which side do you think you should be on?
I love seeing the media reactions to Tapper's book. at which, which is golly, can you believe now we're discovering, I mean, I guess this is actually the point of the book. We're discovering all these things. The white house told us that Biden was perfectly fine.
