What are the implications of the ongoing war for American politics?
Mr. Minister of Budget, how do you comment on the spring negotiations? Puli, puli. Kevät, tuli, lumi, suli, puro, sanoi, puli, puli. Siis nyt vaan kevättä rintaan, jalkaan ja koko kroppaan. Putkesportista saa kaiken ulkoiluun ja liikuntaan, juoksukengistä, pyöriin ja treenivaatteista pelivälineisiin. Niin, että eiköhän lopeteta pulina tähän.
So in just a second, we're going to talk to Sagar and Jetty, who's one of the smartest and most honest analysts of American politics. We think about the effect of the war in Iran here in the U.S. on our politics, on our economy, on our life. But first, just a couple of quick things, which is no matter what you think of this war, you've got to be rooting for the United States, your country, and particularly for the people fighting this war. It's a cliche to say it, but it's true. They are the best people this country produces, people who voluntarily joined to defend the United States, who are often put to bad use and badly treated by our political class. But that doesn't make them bad. They are great.
And you've got to be rooting for them, for us collectively, and saying prayers both for the country and for the people fighting on its behalf and in its name, our troops.
How does the war impact U.S. sovereignty and foreign policy?
That is real. The second thing concerns the show that we did two days ago about the efforts to rebuild the third temple in Jerusalem. We went on at some length about this and why at its core for some of the people, fighting in this conflict in the United States and Israel and Iran. This is a religious conflict and that we should be aware of the effects of that long-term. Religious conflicts are not typically resolved quickly. They can go on generationally. They can go on a thousand years. In fact, they're still ongoing for over a thousand years in some cases. So it's a big deal to have a religious war. In some ways, this may turn out to be a religious war. In others, it's just inherently a religious war.
So you should know. And at the center of that conflict, is this thing called the Third Temple, which does not yet exist, but some people would like to rebuild.
What historical lessons can be learned from past U.S. military interventions?
So we did a whole show on this, seemed important and true. And in the course of that show, we described patches that some soldiers in the Israeli military, the IDF, are wearing that show an image of a temple, the Third Temple. And we asked... Where did these come from? And it seems like from accounts that we read from those soldiers online that they got these patches somehow from a group called Chabad. In the United States, it's a global group, but it's headquartered here in New York and Brooklyn. And we said, and you can check the tape, it was like, Chabad, they seem like really nice people. Met a bunch of people in Chabad over the years. They do a bunch of charitable enterprises. But apparently, these patches came from Chabad.
And Chabad, check their website, is in favor of rebuilding the Third Temple. And why wouldn't they be? They're religious Jews, and the temple is at the center of Judaism as described in the Torah, what Christians call the Old Testament. And all sacrifices, all public worship takes place in the temple in Jerusalem built on the foundation stone. And that's where God resides, according to Judaism, to Torah Judaism.
How does this conflict relate to religious tensions in the region?
And all of that ended in 70 AD when the Romans, as predicted by Jesus, destroyed the temple. Now, from a Christian perspective, God destroyed the temple. Jesus destroyed the temple and became himself the temple. He replaced the temple with his body. And he says this, You know, I am the temple. So that is the Christian view of the temple. But the Jewish view of the temple is very different. And it's what I just described, which is this is where God lives. So if you're a religious Jew, you want to see the temple rebuilt. And there's no criticism of that. That's a religious perspective, which is internally coherent. Our only point was you should know that this is happening and that U.S. taxpayers are paying for it.
And apparently these patches came from Chabad.
What are the economic consequences of the war for American citizens?
That was the kind of sum total of my observations about Chabad.
