been Israel many times. The whole country is a fortress. When I first heard this story, I still have the same gut instinct that I did initially. I find this very hard to believe. I've been to that Gaza border. You you cannot go 10 ft without running into a 19-year-old with an AR-15 or an automatic machine gun that is an IDF soldier, right? The whole country is surveiled.
And so, so let me let me just kind of go through this. We don't talk about Israeli politics very often, and most Americans don't know this. The last nine months, Israel was on the brink of civil war. It's not an exaggeration. This judicial stuff, there were pro there were hundreds of thousands of Israelis taking to the streets because BB Netanyahu is basically redefining the Israeli constitution. That's not an exaggeration, right? There were protests planned this week against Netanyahu where they anticipated tens of thousands of people to take to the streets.
I'm not I'm not willing to say to go so far that saying that Netanyahu knew or there was intelligence here, but I think some questions need to be asked. Was there a standown order? Was there a standown order? 6 hours. I don't believe it. Israel's the side of New Jersey. When I took a helicopter ride from Jerusalem to the Gaza border, it's 45 minutes.
>> Wow.
>> 6 hours. They're live streaming the killing of Jews. Was Did somebody in the government say standown? That is a legitimate non-conspiracy question. The whole country is the IDF.

>> No, no. I just want to make sure my position is clear here.
>> But I would So Patrick, there are other explanations. It's possible that the Netanyahu government was double crossed by bad agents. Another aspect is that Netanyahu might have traitors in his government. is that maybe there are some people within those intel agencies that aren't as sympathetic. Or maybe Patrick, maybe they might have gotten a tip. They might have gotten whispers, but no one thought it would be 1,200 Jews dead. That's a potential, right?
But the fact is now BB and the Israeli hard-right government has a mandate. I got to be careful the way I say this to they're going to try to ethnically cleanse Gaza. They're talking about basically removing 2.5 million people from there. Okay. And honestly, they have a mandate to go seek justice and revenge. They do the there is they this idea that they need to have a tr truce or a peace treaty, that's morally crap after you see women and children be burned alive and dragged to the streets.
But there are some serious questions here, Patrick. And let me tell you, my pattern recognition over the last 5 years has become pretty sharp. COVID, Maui fires, you know, Epstein. When I see a story and it doesn't click, we're our guts are usually
