0:10
Coming up, I'll examine the key issues
0:12
involved in the Tyree nickel skilling.
0:15
I'll also reveal how an CURO Group
0:18
involving John Podesta and Bill Crystal
0:20
Fed lies to the media
0:22
about Russian involvement in
0:24
US elections. I'll
0:26
do a post mortem on Ronan McDaniel's
0:29
Parikh victory at the Republican
0:31
National Committee and Middle East tax Eric
0:33
Stackelbach joins me. We're gonna talk about tensions
0:36
between Biden and Netanyahu,
0:38
this is the Dinesh D'Souza show.
0:51
America needs this voice. The
0:53
times are crazy and a time of confusion,
0:56
division, and lies we need a
0:58
brave voice of reason, understanding, and
1:00
truth. This is the
1:02
Dinesh D'Souza, pot guest.
1:09
I'd like to offer some thoughts on the
1:11
Tyree Nichols, killing. Thiry
1:14
Nichols is a black
1:16
guy lived in the area
1:18
of Memphis And
1:21
on January seventh of this year,
1:23
he was in his car. According
1:26
to police driving recklessly,
1:29
although we haven't seen any video
1:31
of that. The police nevertheless
1:34
and this part of it is on video.
1:36
They pull
1:39
him over and then
1:41
they walk up to the car and
1:43
yank him out of the car and
1:46
tell him to get on the ground, he
1:49
seems to be complying. He
1:51
says, okay, okay, okay, man. And
1:54
while he's on the ground, they they
1:57
tase him. They hit him with a taser
1:59
at which point. I think natural
2:02
flight kicks in and he
2:05
he begins to run. So they chase
2:07
him down and unbelievably
2:10
beat him to death. So
2:13
this is anyone who's seen
2:15
the video, Debbie and I watched it. I watched
2:18
and watch one version of it. Yesterday,
2:20
I watched another version this morning,
2:23
it's really hard to justify, in
2:25
fact, Debbie's reaction, which she goes, well, this
2:27
is worse than what Derek Chauvin did
2:29
to George Floyd. This is
2:31
inexcusable. However,
2:33
the the
2:37
policeman, the four cops who did this,
2:40
were black. There wasn't
2:42
a white policeman involved at all.
2:45
And so for the left, this has become a
2:47
little bit of a problem. Obviously, it
2:49
is a case. I think
2:51
it's a clear case for anyone who sees the video.
2:54
Of police brutality. And
2:57
the arrest of these four cops and the
3:01
the four oh, it's
3:03
five cops. Debbie says, five cops who
3:06
apparently are gonna be charged with kidnapping
3:08
and with second degree murder.
3:10
Now the kidnapping to me is a little weird.
3:13
It's true that they sort of
3:15
pulled him out of the car and one could argue
3:17
to possession of him, but I don't think that really
3:19
makes any sense. They weren't kidnapping him.
3:21
But the second degree murder charge,
3:23
in other words, cops out of control, that
3:25
is quite evident if you watch
3:28
the watch the
3:30
footage. But but
3:32
this is black on black. AND IN
3:34
A CITY WHERE THE POLICE CAPTAIN SAW
3:37
A STATEMENT THAT SHE MADE BLACK WOMAN MAYOR
3:39
OF THE CITY IS BLACK, SO IT'S A BLACK POLITICAL
3:41
ESTABLISHMENT So this is police
3:43
brutality, but it's not it's
3:45
not race. It's not a racial issue.
3:48
But for the left, it has to be a racist
3:50
issue. It has to be a racial issue. So
3:52
how do you make a non racial issue
3:54
into a racial issue? Well, the short
3:56
answer is that you argued that white supremacy
3:59
operates its machinations in such
4:01
a way that it can even make
4:03
black cops behave in this way.
4:06
And I saw a comment
4:10
by Joe
4:12
Walsh. It doesn't matter what race the cops
4:14
are. It only matters what race Tyria Nichols
4:17
was. Actually,
4:20
the race of both matters. And you know
4:22
why, really, for two reasons. The first
4:24
one is, City
4:27
of Memphis, this
4:29
was a few years ago back to twenty twenty,
4:31
implemented an expanded affirmative
4:34
action program. It was a diversity
4:36
program. Our police forces not sufficiently
4:39
diverse. And apparently, they felt that the
4:41
old hiring standards were too rigorous.
4:43
This always happens with affirmative action.
4:45
You start hiring people who don't
4:47
meet the standards, who knows what the
4:49
level of training is that's given to those
4:51
people. And then on top of that, this is the
4:53
point that Debbie is making. And she's like,
4:55
listen, the left hostility to
4:57
the idea of the cops, defund
5:00
the police, demoralize the police department.
5:02
And so as a result, in high crime
5:04
cities. And by the way, Memphis is
5:06
a dangerous town. We
5:09
were there, gosh, what two months ago, I
5:11
guess, it was maybe a little longer
5:13
or last summer. And
5:16
there was a little Memphis kind
5:18
of seafood restaurant that was just
5:20
two blocks from our hotel.
5:22
And yet at the moment, Debbie and I stepped on the
5:24
street just to walk two blocks, we felt
5:26
suddenly this kind of you know, that queasy
5:28
feeling you just get when you feel a little unsafe.
5:30
You're sort of looking over your shoulder.
5:33
You're you're just you're just uneasy
5:35
about it because it it's not a safe
5:37
environment. So this is
5:39
obviously not gonna be an easy
5:41
job for cops to function in.
5:43
There's a I'm quite sure there's a and
5:45
you you see this on the video. There's a the cops
5:47
are in a hair trigger mode.
5:49
I mean, they are they will take
5:52
they are ready to move, ready to
5:54
act, and and quick to act, and I would
5:56
argue, in this case, clearly
5:59
precipitous I mean, there was
6:01
no reason to tase that kid. There
6:03
was no reason to beat him like that. And at
6:05
one point, you know, Tyree
6:07
Nichols calls out to his mom
6:10
I mean, it's downright heartbreaking. You
6:12
could it's almost hard to hard
6:14
to watch. It's important
6:16
for us to realize that when for those of
6:18
us, so we, you know, we back the blue.
6:20
But we don't lock back the blue
6:22
indiscriminately. We back the
6:24
blue for protecting us, for doing their
6:26
job, for for following
6:28
their training, for
6:31
for keeping us safe in in all
6:33
senses of the term. I mean, I wouldn't
6:35
feel safe if I was driving in Memphis
6:37
and felt the cops have the right just
6:39
to pull me over, no Miranda
6:41
rights, no you know, turn over your license,
6:43
just drag the guy out of the car, start,
6:45
you know, tasing him, beating him. This
6:47
is ridiculous. This should not be allowed.
6:49
This has gotta be stopped. And
6:52
it's got to be stopped through
6:55
accountability. So I'm glad accountability does
6:58
appear to be occurring here. I have a lot more
7:00
to say about this case, but
7:02
there's a lot of other stuff going on in the news.
7:04
So I'm going to pick it up tomorrow and
7:06
go into it in more detail.
7:11
Have you ever bought a towel set because
7:13
it felt really soft in the store, but then when
7:15
you go hard to use it, it's not very absorbent.
7:18
Well, it's basically a towel that's leaving you
7:20
out to dry. That's why my pillow has developed
7:22
the my pillow towels towels that
7:24
work. I know it's mind blowing towels that
7:26
actually dry you. Their
7:28

7:49
Again, that number eight hundred 8760227
7:53
Go to my pillar dot com. Don't forget to
7:55
use the promo code DINESH
7:57
to mesh. The newest edition
7:59
of the Twitter Files. Reported
8:02
by Matt Tybee is
8:04
not about censorship per se.
8:07
It is about the use of
8:09
the media. As
8:11
a vehicle for a
8:13
systematic procession of
8:16
lies. In this case, the lie
8:18
is that the Russians are
8:20
actively interfering in
8:22
US elections. And there
8:24
are hundreds of accounts,
8:27
maybe thousands of accounts that
8:29
are nothing more than Russian bots and
8:31
Russian propaganda that is
8:33
being, you may say, engineered
8:36
out of Moscow. It's
8:38
Putin's hand that is behind all this.
8:40
Now, there was an organization that
8:42
claimed to have a tracking
8:45
mechanism and a dashboard in
8:48
which they would list
8:50
these accounts, reveal
8:52
them to be the product of
8:54
Russian disinformation, and
8:56
they were trying to do two things. One is
8:58
to get the media to cover this
9:00
story. Of Russia
9:03
involvement in US elections,
9:05
Russian disinformation on
9:07
social media platforms like Twitter.
9:10
The group that was doing this have maintained the
9:12
dashboard was called Hamilton
9:14
sixty eight. And when you look at
9:16
Hamilton sixty eight and it's Board of
9:18
Directors. It's people like
9:20
Bill Crystal, the Never
9:22
Trumper. Michael
9:25
Chardoff, former head, I believe, of
9:27
Homeland Security. Michael
9:30
McFall, who is a professor I
9:32
believe now at Stanford University,
9:34
John Podesta, formerly
9:37
the head of the Hilary four
9:39
America. So this is the the
9:41
never Trump Neil
9:43
Conn's and the left. And
9:45
also people who are, like, deputy heads
9:47
of the CIA NSA. So this
9:49
is deep state meets never
9:51
Trump. Meets the left.
9:53
And these are becoming increasingly, by
9:55
the way, the same people.
9:58
And so, Hamilton sixty eight said that
10:00
they were They maintained this
10:02
dashboard, and they
10:04
would identify these these
10:07
sites. But as Twitter
10:09
began to look into it, And this is Twitter,
10:11
by the way, before Elon Musk.
10:13
This is this is Twitter in
10:15
the old regime. They
10:17
realized that Hamilton sixty eight was
10:19
putting out complete lies. In fact,
10:21
here is a statement by
10:23
Twitter from the internal communications I
10:25
think we need to call this out on the b
10:27
s it is. Here's another
10:29
comment by by Twitter. This is the
10:31
Twitter checkers inside of Twitter.
10:34
Falsely accuses a bunch of
10:36
legitimate right leaning accounts
10:38
of being Russian bots. So
10:40
Twitter knew that these
10:42
people were liars that these weren't
10:44
Russian bots. In fact, in some cases,
10:46
they're well known conservatives. There's
10:48
a list of them that Matt Ivy provides. One
10:50
of them is this guy fact, honey, you'll get a
10:52
good chuckle out of this. This is the
10:55
that fellow, you know, Dennis Michael
10:57
Lynch or whatever his name is. He was
10:59
identified as a Russian bot
11:01
by by by Hamilton
11:03
sixty eight. And Matt Taube
11:05
calls up and then he goes, well, I'm, you know,
11:07
I'm I'm the son of a veteran.
11:09
I'm I'm very much a real American.
11:11
I'm a US citizen. I'm just a normal
11:13
guy trying to put out social media.
11:15
Because this is absurd. This is
11:17
nonsense. But the point is Twitter knew it
11:19
was nonsense. But here interestingly,
11:21
the plot thickens. Because
11:23
inside of Twitter, you've got a
11:25
bunch of people. Who by the
11:27
way, some of them later went on to work
11:29
for the Biden administration.
11:34
And and they began to
11:36
fight inside of Twitter not to
11:38
expose this Hamilton sixty eight
11:40
operation. So in other words,
11:42
here's Twitter. From its internal review
11:44
saying, quote, these accounts are
11:46
neither strongly Russian nor
11:48
strongly bots. No evidence
11:50
to support the statement that the dash board
11:52
is the finger on the pulse of Russian
11:54
information ops, quote,
11:56
hardly illuminating a massive influence
11:59
operation. There are hardly any Russians. Mostly
12:02
ordinary Americans, Canadians, and
12:04
British. And
12:06
so it turns out
12:08
that that this hamilton sixty eight
12:10
was a fraudulent operation
12:12
really from top to bottom. By the
12:14
way, ham this group has now put
12:16
statement basically saying, and I
12:18
sort of a paraphrase, some
12:20
accounts we track are automated bots, some are
12:22
trolls, and some are real users. In
12:24
other words, They're now admitting that their site is
12:26
largely useless. And they go on
12:28
to say, quote, it would therefore be
12:30
incorrect without further analysis
12:32
to label anyone or anything that
12:34
appears on the dashboard as being
12:36
connected to state back propaganda.
12:38
So they're now admitting that this
12:40
was essentially a
12:42
bogus operation, but a bogus
12:44
operation that Twitter knew about
12:46
and yet Twitter didn't blow the whistle on
12:48
them. In fact, here
12:51
is here are here
12:53
are some Twitter executives that
13:00
resisted the idea of outing these guys.
13:02
Now, this is strangely a case where
13:04
you'll rot. Who was one of the
13:06
content moderating main guys of Twitter was a
13:08
was a good guy. Yolrat says,
13:10
quote, my recommendation at this stage is an
13:12
ultimatum. You release the
13:14
list or we do. He wanted to bust
13:16
this group, by the way, the group is
13:18
alliance for securing democracy.
13:20
They're actively involved with Hamilton
13:23
sixty eight. But Emily
13:25
Horn, who then goes on, by the
13:27
way, to work for the White House and work for the
13:29
NSC, we have to be careful in how much
13:31
we push back on ASD. Publicly.
13:33
In other words, ASD is our friend.
13:36
They're on our side. And then
13:38
similarly, a guy, Carlos Monge, who
13:40
goes on to become senior advisor
13:42
to Buttigieg, the transportation office.
13:45
I've been frustrated in not calling out
13:47
Hamilton sixty eight more publicly,
13:49
but understand we have to play a longer
13:51
game here. In other words, let's
13:53
not call them out publicly even
13:56
though we know that they're putting out complete
13:58
lies. So what
14:00
a sad and disgusting story
14:03
of the way in which Bill Crystal,
14:06
Michael McFall, Odesta,
14:08
And all these bad guys, this is the
14:10
the swampiest of the swamp
14:12
creatures. And and these are
14:14
people by the way who make a lot of money
14:16
out of this lying career. That they've
14:18
now set up for themselves. Similarly, Michael
14:20
McFall of Stanford, he's constantly putting
14:22
out pompous tweets acting like he's kind
14:24
of some biller of moral rectitude.
14:28
No. These are basically termites.
14:31
They are swamp creatures and they
14:33
deserve all the ignominious
14:36
exposure that Elon Musk can give
14:38
them. Because

Patriot. Ronan McDaniel
15:45
has been reelected
15:47
as the chairwoman of
15:49
the Republican National Committee.
15:52
I was hoping that would
15:54
not be the case. I
15:56
don't normally get very involved
15:58
in these kinds of races, but
16:00
I think I felt
16:02
as well as Rhonda Sanddiss
16:04
did. That when you
16:06
got an operation that is
16:08
consistently losing, producing
16:10
bad results, think of
16:12
corporate CEOs got
16:14
bad earnings for four years in a
16:16
row, and Ronan
16:18
McDaniel produced bad results in two
16:20
thousand eighteen to thousand twenty, two
16:22
thousand twenty two. And I'm not saying this
16:24
is single handedly her
16:26
fault, but the Republican National Committee
16:28
is in fact the organization that is
16:30
in charge of
16:33
managing the strategy for the GOP,
16:35
for the Republican Party
16:37
in elections. It's got resources to
16:39
do it. It's got the strategic ability
16:42
to do it. It is involved in races
16:45
across the country. So
16:48
Who else are you gonna blame if not the
16:50
RNC? Army
16:52
Dillon, my friend, Army Dillon, fellow
16:55
Dartmouth Grad, and Harbin's
16:57
been on the podcast before. I've
16:59
also interviewed her in my book two thousand
17:01
murals. And Harbin's great. And
17:03
Hamid ran as a kind of resistance candidate,
17:05
a candidate of the grassroots. And
17:08
the the final vote was something like a
17:10
hundred or so votes for Rona.
17:13
About fifty votes for Hamid and just
17:15
a handful of votes for for Mike Glendale.
17:17
It was kind of the
17:19
the wild man in the race.
17:23
And so what that tells
17:25
you is that the power
17:27
of the establishment in
17:29
the Republican Party counts
17:32
for kinda two to
17:34
one over the
17:36
grassroots because I don't know a
17:38
single grassroots republican. It was like, yeah, I think
17:40
we to keep her on a McDaniel. I
17:42
ran a Twitter poll on my site,
17:44
which got thousands, tens of thousands of
17:47
votes. And it was something like ninety
17:49
percent or ninety five percent for
17:51
for harm aid. Trump
17:55
put out a a truth
17:57
post in which he congratulated Rona
18:01
McDaniel, but immediately said something like,
18:03
now let's get to the business of
18:05
fixing our election. So
18:07
seems to me that Trump is
18:10
probably calculating that with DeSantis
18:12
having come out against Ronald
18:14
McDaniel, He Trump
18:16
could probably benefit from the support
18:18
of the RNC. And
18:21
so Trump is making a sort of
18:23
transactional endorsed meant. And fairness, Trump did
18:25
endorse Roni McDaniel the last time
18:27
around as well. Now,
18:29
there are some grassroots Republicans and
18:31
you see this all over social media, obviously,
18:34
disappointed, even disgusted. And I
18:36
see some sentiment of the effect of,
18:38
you know, I'm done with the R and
18:40
C. I don't think there's anything
18:42
wrong in saying, look, until
18:44
the RNC produces effective leadership,
18:46
I'm not going to give money
18:48
to the RNC. W and I,
18:51
not giving money to the RNC, and we
18:53
wouldn't. But we do not
18:55
take the view. This is very
18:57
important. That we are done with the Republican
18:59
party or we need a new party.
19:01
That is just nonsense talk.
19:05
And that is a form of surrender to
19:07
the other side. In fact, it's giving
19:09
Democrats what they want. If you're saying something like we
19:11
don't need a Republican party, you're being
19:13
a good Democrat. You're doing think of
19:15
it. Think of how excited we would be if Democrats started saying, we don't need
19:17
a Democratic party anymore. We need a new
19:20
party. The American politics
19:22
is fought in teams. And we
19:24
have a two party system. And
19:27
so I like the idea that
19:29
I it's not original with
19:31
me. That what Harmit should do is to
19:33
set up our own R and C.
19:36
Maybe call it the RCC, Republican
19:38
campaign committee or some name of that sort. And you
19:40
know what? Why not have two
19:43
organizations promoting Republican candidates?
19:45
Maybe It'll turn out that some big donor money
19:47
will go to the R and C. Maybe it'll turn
19:49
out that some big donor money and a lot of
19:51
grassroots money will go to the alternative
19:54
group. And the alternative group can then make its own
19:56
decisions about where to put money, which
19:58
candidates to back. And
20:00
so the problem represented
20:02
by ROADM annual. In that
20:04
case, may not disappear entirely, but at
20:06
least would be diminished. Now, it's a little relief to see
20:08
Rod and McDaniel say, this is my last
20:10
term, two more years, and then I'm out
20:12
of there. I think
20:14
this was kind of her concession to her critics
20:16
that I think she knows that she's
20:18
not exactly popular as head of the R
20:21
and C. But apparently the
20:23
old dog wants to hang around for two
20:25
more years and I think that is
20:27
unfortunate. Robert

21:34
Project Veritas video
21:37
that exposed Jordan
21:39
Walker. This is Pfizer's Director of
21:41
Research and Development strategic
21:43
operations. And here was a guy
21:46
talking about how
21:48
Pfizer manipulates these
21:53
COVID cells in the
21:55
lab to well
21:57
essentially make them I do
21:59
different things, manipulates
22:01
them to become, in some cases,
22:03
more active, more
22:06
contagious, more lethal, and
22:10
and this fellow Jordan Walker who
22:12
by the way looks like he's you
22:14
know, doesn't look like a
22:16
top guide Pfizer at all
22:18
because he doesn't have the kind of
22:20
solemn gate of Albert Bourla, the
22:22
CEO. This guy looks like he was he was
22:24
kind of at a bar looking for a
22:27
date. And so initially, I
22:29
thought, is he just boasting? Is he just
22:31
talking nonsense? But he was saying, look, we do
22:33
we don't call it gain a function of research. Mind
22:36
you. He's like, it directed
22:38
evolution. Well, directed evolution
22:40
is nothing more than you're
22:43
manipulating The evolution isn't occurring
22:45
naturally. You're creating it
22:47
in the lab. So this is a
22:49
euphemism. It's a different phrase.
22:52
But it seems to be a little bit of
22:54
a distinction without a difference, a
22:56
verbal game to
22:59
and And then there was this
23:01
amazing confrontation in which
23:03
in which James
23:06
O'Keefe showed up And this guy,
23:08
Jordan Walker, when absolutely Berserk.
23:10
He was, like, wrestling with, you
23:12
know, you fell on the floor, you
23:14
tried to the doors of the
23:16
place were locked. This was just
23:18
downright a mad scene.
23:20
But it was also a scene of a guy
23:23
who got caught. I mean, I've seen cases where a guy, you know,
23:25
guy comes shows up. You know, he's he's a
23:27
pedophile. He's looking for the fourteen year
23:29
old girl. And there's the news crew.
23:31
And then he runs away, you know, and
23:33
this that's what this looked like.
23:36
And for a
23:38
few days that Pfizer went dead
23:40
silent. And now Pfizer
23:42
has issued a statement. And
23:44
the statement is itself very
23:46
telling because I see it as a
23:48
statement, not of denial, but of
23:52
confirmation. Pfizer in effect says,
23:54
well, no, we don't really do gain
23:56
a function research. No, we
23:58
don't really do directed
24:01
evolution either, but
24:04
yeah, we do manipulate viruses.
24:09
And they used
24:11
other language to say again the
24:13
same thing because if you read their language
24:15
and you go well, you're saying in effect is
24:17
you dig viruses, you
24:20
alter them, you
24:23
change them around. Now again,
24:26
Pfizer will say, I'm sure, of
24:28
course, we do this, and we kinda need
24:30
to do it. And this is part of the
24:32
way that we research these viruses
24:35
and this research provides the necessary
24:38
foundation for making
24:40
vaccines. And I think if this is
24:42
the case, Again, it's better
24:44
to admit it. It's better to say, yeah,
24:46
this is what we do. This is how we do it.
24:48
These are the safeguards we have in place.
24:50
See, the problem here is that there's
24:53
distrust and there's no
24:55
legitimate, not just public debate.
24:58
Robert Malone MD cofounder of mRNA was shocked to
25:00
find out what he did. He's an
25:02
expert in the field. And
25:04
he goes, yeah, this very
25:06
definitely is in effect gain a function. It's
25:08
gain a function masquerading under a
25:10
different name. By the way, when
25:14
when Project Veritas put
25:16
the video up on YouTube. YouTube
25:18
took it down. Why?
25:20
They said misinformation. Well, what's the misinformation?
25:23
Who's who's putting out the mess is it
25:25
misinformation to interview a
25:27
guy who's who's high up at
25:29
Pfizer? Who knows what Pfizer is
25:31
doing? Who provides an explanation. This is what Pfizer
25:33
is doing, and it's on video,
25:35
where's the misinformation? Or is
25:37
Jordan Walker being accused of putting out
25:40
misinformation? Is it the case that he's
25:42
misrepresenting Pfizer? Even
25:44
Pfizer never really said that. And by the
25:46
way, Jordan Walker's status at Pfizer
25:48
remains a little marquee at this point, they seem to have,
25:50
like, taken down all references to
25:52
him, although salutes on social
25:54
media have uncovered his
25:56
his resume have have posted that this guy,
25:58
yeah, not only works at Pfizer, but he's
26:00
not he's not the janitor. No. He's not
26:02
the, you know, He is he
26:05
does in fact have a high title,
26:07
and he is in fact apparently a medical
26:09
doctor. So it
26:11
looks like project Veritas.
26:13
Initially, Debbie was like, I wonder if they
26:15
got scammed. This guy doesn't even really he's
26:17
just a comedian who's pretending to work at
26:20
Pfizer. But no, he works at Faiza. He's a
26:22
legitimate source. I think Project Veritas did
26:24
the kind of story that the news
26:26
media should be doing but doesn't. Think
26:28
of it. The New York Times would never think of doing this kind of
26:30
a hit. Never think of trying to find out what
26:32
actually happens in the Pfizer lab.
26:35
So kudos to James O'Keefe and Project Veritas
26:37
for exposing a genuinely
26:40
important story. W
26:43
and I started taking relief factor
26:45
a couple of years ago. The difference we've
26:47
seen in our joints the past two years has
26:49
been nothing short of. Amazing aches
26:51
and pains are gone. Thanks to this
26:53
hundred percent drug free solution called
26:55
relief factor. Now relief factor supports
26:58
your body fight against inflammation.
27:00
That's a source of aches and pains. The
27:02
vast majority of people who try relief factor, love
27:04
it. They order more because it works for
27:06
them. Debbie's tried it. It works for her. She can
27:08
now do the exercises that for a long time she wasn't able
27:10
to do. So it's been a real game changer
27:12
for her, her aunt, other members of
27:14
our family, and for many other people.
27:17
YouTube can benefit try it for yourself,
27:19

27:21

I'm delighted to welcome to the podcast.

27:47
is also the host of TVNs, The
27:49
Watchman Show, and The Watchman NewsCast
27:52
on YouTube. By the way, watchmen
27:54
TV dot com. That's where
27:56
you can find it. And
27:58
Eric's been covering the Middle East for
28:00
a couple of decades. Eric,
28:02
welcome to the podcast. It's really great
28:04
to have you. Let's
28:07
try you. Let's talk
28:09
about the Middle East
28:11
generally. There might be a lot of people who
28:13
think, well, the Middle East
28:15
had one point was
28:17
vital to American security,
28:20
American energy needs.
28:22
We were heavily oil dependent.
28:24
We were being manipulated by OPEC
28:26
in the seventies and eighties,
28:28
but the United States is
28:30
much more oil self sufficient
28:34
supposedly we're moving away from fossil
28:36
fuels. Would you say that
28:38
the Middle East has a
28:40
radically different position in
28:42
terms of America's interest in the world? Or do we
28:44
still have vital interests over there? And what
28:46
are they?
28:47
Dinesh, I still think we have vital
28:50
trust over there in terms of security.
28:52
First and foremost, it is the
28:54
most volatile, chaotic,
28:56
yet strategic region in the world. I
28:58
know the Biden Dinesh estration is
29:00
doing this pivot to the east, to China,
29:02
which makes sense in a lot in a lot
29:04
of ways, but you still have the likes
29:06
of Iran in the middle of
29:08
the Middle East. And you have
29:11
Russia, every superpower, basically,
29:13
it's almost like a gravitational pull
29:15
to that region where people can't stay
29:17
out. So Russia now is obviously
29:19
in Syria, the Iranian
29:21
regime driving towards nuclear weapons. This
29:23
is a serious threat. Iran also
29:25
also part of what I call the gathering storm
29:28
coalition, China, Russia,
29:30
North Korea, and the Iranian
29:32
regime working together towards
29:34
their own anti western interests.
29:36
So I believe because of
29:38
just the the glut of
29:40
American adversaries that
29:42
operating that region. We do have an interest there, and it
29:44
seems every time America
29:46
completely removes itself from the Middle East.
29:48
And look, I'd love to be out of the Middle
29:50
East entirely, but that every time we
29:52
do that, Dinesh, we leave a vacuum that's
29:55
filled by some of the world's worst actors. And
29:57
also lastly, look, we have a great
29:59
ally there in Israel, of course,
30:01
which is kind of the first line of
30:03
defense for western civilization in the
30:05
belly of the beast in the Middle East. Of course, we have the
30:07
suny arb nations there as well. Which we
30:09
have strong relationships with. So we
30:11
still do have interest there for
30:12
sure. I mean, it seemed
30:15
when the Iranian revolution
30:17
occurred nineteen seventy nine. The
30:19
initial objective was
30:21
to eradicate the influence,
30:23
the secular rising influence
30:26
of the shot to create a kind of deeply
30:28
Islamic society. I
30:30
find it interesting that the radical Muslims
30:33
fairly quick, however, to
30:35
project the influence abroad. I
30:37
learned from Debbie first about how
30:39
the Iranians are very active in
30:42
far away Venezuela, in addition,
30:44
by the way, to the Chinese and
30:46
the Russians. So talk about Iran's
30:48
objectives. They clearly are not confined to
30:50
the Middle East Does Iran
30:52
see itself as an emerging world
30:54
power? What's it up to? It
30:57
does, to match on a few levels. And you said
30:59
it, in nineteen seventy nine,
31:01
the told Comenity came to power. He always saw this
31:03
as a global revolution. It's
31:05
not just an Iran thing, a localized
31:08
revolution. He saw this as a
31:10
global movement and the current leadership
31:12
in Iran, which are his acolytes,
31:14
they see it the same way. So we have an
31:16
Iranian presence on at least
31:18
five continents through its elite unit.
31:20
I kind of compare them to the Nazi SS
31:23
Dinesh. The revolutionary guards
31:25
cooler. If you remember, Kasem Soleimani, who
31:28
was eliminated in a drone strike
31:30
ordered by president Trump January twenty
31:32
twenty, he was one of the main figures in this
31:34
group, but They have their tentacles
31:36
through this group throughout the world. You
31:38
mentioned Venezuela. Debbie and I have talked
31:40
about this for years actually. Iran
31:42
right now has a very close
31:44
relationship with the regime of Nicholas
31:46
Maduro in Venezuela. It
31:48
really started over day to go under Hugo
31:51
Chavez, those ties, to the point
31:53
ish, where last summer, Iran
31:55
and Venezuela signed a twenty
31:57
year cooperation agreement. Now
31:59
it's mainly focused on weapons and
32:03
oil. Iran will apply weapons to
32:05
Venezuela. It will get more involved. Remember
32:07
Venezuela is an oil rich country.
32:09
Iran will get more involved in the energy
32:11
sector in Venezuela as well.
32:13
And then The big story I've been
32:15
reporting on the Watchmen as of late,
32:17
Iran vowed earlier this month that by
32:19
the end of twenty twenty three,
32:21
they will send warships for the first
32:24
time to the Panama Canal at
32:26
America's doorstep. Now a lot of people
32:28
shrugged. It's out of bluff. It's bluster.
32:30
And yet, Right now, we have
32:32
two Iranian warships docked
32:34
in Brazil at a port
32:36
in Brazil. Already, you see the bitter
32:38
fruits of Lula that
32:41
radical leftist who just was sworn
32:43
in in Brazil once again. But
32:45
Tehrani and worship stopped there, Dinesh, and they're
32:47
playing reportedly is to
32:49
make a stop in Venezuela, surprise
32:51
surprise, and then
32:53
transit to the Panama Canal
32:55
sometime in
32:55
February. So that Iranian declaration
32:58
of having a presence in the Panama Canal looks
33:00
like it was not bluster and it is
33:02
coming to fruition right now. I
33:04
mean, I find an interesting, Eric, that you got these countries like
33:07
Iran and China, and there are
33:09
countries that are sort of ideologically
33:12
based. In the case of Iran, of
33:14
course, it's the Iranian revolution. In
33:16
the case of China, it is it
33:18
is a certain hybrid of
33:20
communism. And yet they seem to go all
33:22
over the world and deal
33:24
on a transactional basis
33:26
with other people. Otherwise, the Iranians aren't
33:28
going to Maduro and saying, let's and we expect
33:30
to see you in the mosque. We want you
33:32
to convert to Islam. None of
33:35
that. The Chinese aren't going over to African
33:37
countries and saying to them, hey,
33:39
listen, We need you to adopt the communist ideology
33:41
and start reading the red book of chairman
33:43
Mao, not at all. They basically
33:46
make deals based upon
33:48
oil, based on we'll give you weapons, if you
33:50
give us oil. So you
33:52
have a sort of combination. Don't you
33:54
have idea ideology.
33:56
And realpolitik. You do, Denise.
33:59
You you mentioned the word transactional.
34:01
That's the way they see it. And we know the
34:04
old adage The enemy of my enemy is my
34:06
friend. Again, the gathering storm,
34:08
coalition, China, Russia, Iran, North
34:10
Korea, if you look at those
34:12
four regimes, far flung ideologies,
34:14
serious ideological differences, and
34:16
yet they will work together
34:20
towards that common goal, which is essentially undermining the
34:22
United States, and undermining the
34:24
Western world order. That's the
34:26
ultimate goal for
34:28
these regimes. So you will
34:30
see Iran, again, not demanding that Maduro, who isn't a vowed marks its
34:32
socialist, converts to Islam,
34:35
they're not demanding that. It's
34:37
a transactional relationship that works in
34:40
Iran's interest. Look at Russia
34:42
and Iran right now. Look, Vladimir
34:44
Putin fought
34:46
Islamic jihadist in the form of the Chechens and yet now
34:48
he shoulder to shoulder with jihadists
34:50
in the form of the Iranian regime and
34:52
his blah. In
34:54
Syria and elsewhere. It doesn't seem to make much sense,
34:56
but this serves Russia's interest.
34:58
You think of Iran's energy sector.
35:00
You think of Iran right now supplying
35:03
Russia with drones. So it's very
35:06
interesting to actually make a great point. How
35:08
these regimes will kind of
35:10
throw aside those
35:12
ideological pillars to work together towards common goals
35:14
of again weakening the Western world
35:15
order. They're making that
35:18
very clear. Let's take a When
35:20
we come back, let's talk about Israel,
35:22
the recent terrorist attack in Israel,
35:24
and also the complex relationship
35:26
between the Netanyahu government. And
35:29
the Biden government will be
35:31
right back. There are
35:34
times when we all need a fresh start and a
35:36

36:30
discount code, I'm back
36:32
with expert commentator Eric
36:34
Stackelbach. He spent two decades covering the
36:36
Middle East. He's news director for
36:39
TVN, the Trinity Broadcasting. Network.
36:41
Erica, let's talk about Israel. There
36:43
was recently a terror
36:46
attack in Israel. I
36:48
think seven
36:50
people dead. Talk a little bit
36:52
about what's happening there, but
36:54
some of the media is presenting it,
36:57
and even the New York Dinesh, as,
36:59
you know, the Netanyahu government has
37:02
come in and this has kind of
37:04
upset the
37:06
the the stability of the region almost
37:08
has it to say that he has annoyed
37:10
the radicals to the point where
37:12
they're kinda been pushed into doing this.
37:16
What are the implications of the Netanyahu government?
37:18
And then I wanna ask you
37:20
about its relationship with with
37:22
Biden. Yeah. Did me
37:24
just mention first real quick. It always amuses
37:26
me when the New York Times and others
37:28
say this move by Israel is going
37:30
to set the region on fire the
37:33
region has been on fire for over two
37:35
thousand years. So things aren't
37:38
changing too too markedly there in the Middle East.
37:40
But with the Netanyahu government
37:42
number one, Let's talk about the terror Jerusalem,
37:44
during Shabbat Friday night,
37:47
people leaving Shabbat Services
37:49
Friday night prayers, gunned
37:52
down by a Palestinian terrorist outside of the
37:54
synagogue. This is not an
37:56
isolated incident. Obviously, this kind of
37:58
heinous terror attack has happened time
38:00
and time time and time again in Israel
38:02
over the years. With the
38:04
Netanyahu government, the main issue right
38:06
now, Dinesh, is the
38:08
temple mount. Now, atop the temple mount, the most
38:10
coveted piece of real estate in the world, the very
38:12
heart of Jerusalem. That is
38:14
where the two Jewish temples once
38:16
stood as arrived in the
38:18
bible, Solomon's temple, and the second
38:20
temple, which Jesus taught in. He chased
38:22
out the money changers. Today, the dome
38:24
of the rock, the Aloximasca, those two
38:26
Muslim shrines, sit
38:28
atop the temple mount.
38:30
The status quo, as they call it, since
38:32
nineteen sixty seven, since the since the
38:34
six day war, is that
38:36
Jews can go on the temple
38:38
mount, but they cannot
38:40
pray openly atop the temple mount.
38:42
And if they do, they either
38:44
arrested or escorted off
38:46
the site.
38:46
Now, Muslim authorities control
38:49
the temple mount.
38:51
But there are many Jews now at the nation. There's
38:53
kind of a ground swell in Israel who
38:55
were saying, hey, wait a minute.
38:57
Our forefathers prayed atop
38:59
the temple now three thousand years ago, why can't
39:01
we pray openly to there today? And me as a
39:04
Christian, I can't pray openly at top of the
39:06
temple, man. I've been on on top of it
39:08
many times
39:10
again, they'll be arrested, they'll be thrown in prison. So you
39:13
have Muslims now who are you
39:15
have two competing narratives here. You
39:17
have Jews saying, hey, we're not we're not causing any trouble. We just
39:20
wanna pray on the temple mount. You have
39:22
Muslims, the likes of the Palestinian
39:24
authority, and the mosque chief among
39:26
them saying, you're trying to desecrate
39:28
the Aloximase and start World War three essentially. So
39:30
you have a collision course over the
39:34
temple mount. Many members of Netanyahu's new government
39:36
want to see that status quo
39:38
change. They're saying, hey, enough is enough. We
39:40
should be able to pray there Netanyahu
39:42
saying no, we're not gonna change the status
39:43
quo, but again, there is a ground
39:46
swell, including among members of his
39:48
own government. It
39:50
seems to me part of the problem here is
39:52
that you've got just a
39:54
different psychology. Don't you? In
39:56
other words, A
39:58
a muslim can go to
40:00
Saint Peter's cathedral in
40:03
Rome, walk in take
40:06
a good look around.
40:08
And if there's a mask going on,
40:10
sit down and listen to what's
40:12
being said, participate if if he or she wants
40:14
to. But you or I couldn't go
40:16
on a hunch to mecca and
40:18
show up
40:20
we would be pushed out. Right? In other words, there
40:22
the idea is that Mecca is
40:25
only for devout
40:28
Muslims and it seems
40:30
like a similar mentality is at
40:32
work here. In other words, there are there
40:35
are Christian churches all
40:38
over Israel and those are open in the sense I just
40:40
described, but somehow the Aloxa
40:42
mosque is like off limits.
40:44
And is it controlled by the
40:46
Jordanian government
40:48
explain a little bit what they're kind of complex dynamics
40:51
and this weird truth that
40:53
has held
40:55
all this time And how does
40:57
one resolve a situation when it comes into that kind
40:59
of almost a
41:02
theological blockade? Yeah, Dinesh
41:04
key point, Jordan does control the site. Let
41:06
me just mention, by the way, to your earlier
41:08
point, I tried to enter the dome of
41:10
the rock a few
41:12
months ago There was a Muslim authority at the doorway, and
41:14
I said, I'd like to come in. And he said, are
41:16
you a Muslim? I said, no. He
41:18
said, then you
41:20
cannot enter. So that crystallizes what you just laid out. But with the
41:22
temple mount, it is very
41:24
complex, but to break it down in
41:26
its bare
41:28
essence, In nineteen sixty seven, Israel won the six
41:30
day war in dramatic fashion.
41:32
At that time, Israel
41:36
allowed Islam allowed the
41:38
Muslims to retain control of
41:40
the temple mount. Now Israel could have took
41:43
the whole temple mount, but they
41:45
allowed Islam, Islamic authorities to
41:48
retain control, that would be
41:50
Jordan. When Israel won that war in
41:52
sixty seven, Jordan actually controlled
41:54
half of Jerusalem at that time. It's hard to
41:56
believe today, but that was a fact.
41:58
Israel allowed Georganian
42:00
religious authorities to maintain
42:02
control there on the temple mount. And that
42:04
has not changed up until today
42:06
to the point where king Abdullah,
42:08
the Jordanian king who has been
42:10
an out eye of the west,
42:12
Western educated, threatened recently basically, threatened Israel, hey,
42:14
don't cross our red lines
42:18
on the temple mount. It's caused a lot of animosity between
42:21
Israel and Jordan. Two nations which
42:23
have a peace treaty, but it's kind
42:25
of a cold peace And
42:27
a big part of that is the temple mount.
42:30
Jordan seems to be clinging on desperately
42:32
trying to maintain control, but the next I think
42:34
a day is coming where that
42:36
status quo will change,
42:38
and you will see Jews eventually taking
42:40
a greater role on the temple mount. I
42:42
don't know when, but
42:43
again, there's a lot of support
42:45
building for that in Israel. We only have about
42:47
a minute, but Eric, let's close
42:50
out by me asking you about, is the
42:52
Biden administration situation. I mean, I
42:54
know they're not too friendly to
42:56
Netanyahu. Are they kinda
42:58
taking the the Muslims side if you will
43:00
in this
43:00
controversy? What is their position? Yeah.
43:02
They they are adamant, the Biden officials that they do not want
43:05
to see. Again, that status quo change,
43:07
and they're really pressuring
43:10
Israel And even at the UN,
43:12
the Biden administration has been pressuring
43:14
Israel over this temple mount issue,
43:16
of course, the UN is viciously anti
43:19
Israel. I see a collision course coming,
43:21
diplomatic collision course between the Biden
43:23
administration and the Netanyahu government on a
43:25
few issues. Number
43:28
one, Iran, Because that Iran deal, although it looks dead now, it's kind
43:30
of like a vampire that keeps coming
43:32
to life because of western leaders
43:34
pushing it, Iran,
43:36
Israeli communities in Judea
43:38
and Samaria, the West Bank. The
43:40
Biden administration is adamantly opposed
43:43
to Israel building there. And
43:45
the temple mount. I think those three issues are going
43:47
to lead to a diplomatic collision course. Remember,
43:49
Joe Biden was vice president
43:51
under the most anti Israel president in American
43:53
history, Barack Obama, and many of those same
43:56
officials worked in both administrations. So I
43:58
think Rocky Times
44:00
lie ahead.
44:02
Wow, very great stuff. Thanks for joining me. I really appreciate
44:04
it. We're gonna have to have you back as
44:06
these -- Thank you. -- things continue
44:08
to continue to unfold. Thanks,
44:12
Dinesh. I've been
44:14
talking about evidence
44:17
for the Big Bang
44:19
and not just the theoretical evidence
44:21
such as Einstein's theory of
44:23
relativity, which predicts an
44:26
expanding universe.
44:29
But also observational evidence. And
44:31
I talked last week
44:34
about Penzias
44:36
and Wilson from bell labs and
44:38
their ability to hear
44:40
the cosmic
44:43
background microwave radiation. Unbelievable,
44:46
the whisper from the early universe. So all
44:48
of this by the latter part of
44:50
the twentieth century had established a
44:54
scientific consensus in
44:56
favor of the big bang. That is actually not something that
44:58
is even really up for debate.
45:02
And and a lot of the critics of the big bang
45:04
sort of
45:06
admitted that they were wrong. In fact, here's Arthur
45:08
Eddington finally conceives the big bang
45:10
is true, but what's interesting is he goes on to
45:12
say this, the beginning, the idea of
45:14
the beginning, seems to
45:16
present insuperable difficulties unless
45:18
we agree to look on it as,
45:22
frankly, supernatural. Wow.
45:24
And Arnold Penzias who won the Nobel Prize
45:26
for his discovery of the background radiation,
45:28
he says this the best data
45:30
we have are exactly what I would have predicted.
45:33
Had I nothing to go on but
45:35
the five books of Moses, the
45:38
Psalms, and the Bible
45:40
as a whole. So for Penzias,
45:42
the discovery of the microwave radiation
45:44
and the confirmation of the Big
45:47
Bang are essentially a restatement of
45:49
what was already said in the
45:51
book of Genesis. Here's
45:54
astronomer Robert
45:56
In what I think is a beautiful image.
45:58
Quote. For the scientist who has
46:00
lived by his faith and the power of
46:04
reason, The story ends like a bad dream.
46:06
He has scaled the mountains of
46:08
ignorance he is about to conquer
46:11
the highest peak As he
46:13
pulls himself over the final
46:16
rock, he is greeted by a
46:18
band of theologians who have been
46:20
sitting there
46:22
for centuries. So
46:25
this is I think
46:27
very fascinating. The bible, by the way, is
46:29
not a science book. It doesn't try to
46:31
give a detailed account of
46:34
how the creation was
46:36
But the account it does give. Is
46:39
accurate, is supported by
46:41
the best of modern
46:44
science. And
46:46
now we have a sort of proof of that emerges
46:48
out of all this because in
46:51
a sense science is applied, what you
46:53
can call the missing link. Here's
46:55
the proof. Everything that begins
46:58
to exist has a
46:59
cause. Everything
47:02
that begins to exist has a cause.
47:05
The
47:05
universe began to exist.
47:08
Therefore, the universe has
47:10
a cause, that cause
47:13
we call God. Now for a long
47:15
time, the denial of the creator was based upon denying the second proposition.
47:18
In other words, for a long
47:20
time, theatheist would say, let's look at
47:22
newtonian science, let's look at
47:24
Galileo, we can see from these things
47:26
that the universe did not
47:28
have to and in fact did not have
47:30
a beginning. And the universe
47:32
is a kind of perpetual motion
47:34
machine. It's always been
47:36
there. But now science has
47:38
removed that argument. The universe did
47:40
in fact have a beginning. And so atheists now, especially
47:42
atheists scientists, are reduced
47:44
to denying the
47:46
first proposition. May have to
47:48
deny that everything that has a
47:50
beginning has a cause. They got to they have to
47:52
say in effect everything that has a
47:54
beginning does not necessarily have
47:56
a cause. And think of
47:58
what a difficult position that is to
48:00
sustain. But that's the position that
48:02
Bertrand Russell essentially
48:04
twisted himself into. He says, universe just
48:06
there, and that's all. But this
48:08
is really not an explanation. This is
48:11
an avoidance of explanation. And
48:13
even David Hume Hume, the most skeptical of
48:16
all the philosophers who attacked the
48:18
so called argument from design,
48:20
here's Hume. He
48:22
doesn't deny causation at all. By the way, human is famous for
48:24
his critique of causation, but
48:26
human is not denying causation. He's
48:28
denying our
48:30
knowledge of causation.
48:32
So Hume's critique of causation is not
48:34
a critique of causation. It's a critique of
48:36
the limits of human knowledge. But here's
48:38
Hume. I'm quoting him now. Seventeen fifty
48:41
four, quote, I have never asserted so absurd
48:43
a proposition as that
48:45
anything might arise without
48:48
a cause. So Hume is
48:50
here, frankly, admitting
48:52
that if the universe
48:54
had a beginning, it
48:57
must have been caused. And
48:59
since the universe is a
49:02
material object that encompasses
49:04
all the material that there is,
49:07
Everything that exists in a sense
49:09
is in the universe, then the cause
49:11
of the universe can't be material. It
49:13
has to be immaterial. Another way
49:15
to put it is it has to be supernatural. And it doesn't
49:17
really strain credulity. In fact, it's completely
49:20
consistent with modern
49:22
scientific knowledge.
49:23
To say creation of the universe is in
49:26
fact a miracle.
