News Roundup: Trump's Assassins, the Anti-Jewish Question, Female Pastor Showdown, & More

Matter podcast. I'm your host, John Harris. Hope you're having a wonderful Tuesday. And for some of you, at least those who are on the Northeast, you may be listening to me live during your lunch break.

So I hope you enjoy your lunch break. We have some breaking news that I want to share before we get into all the stories that we have today. And that is that the Supreme Court has ruled on a key Voting Rights Act rule as Republicans and Democrats wage redistricting war this according to Fox News.

And this may be a win for the right that will give them as much as 12 to 14, I believe additional congressional seats. So I know we've talked a lot about Virginia and we're going to talk more about Virginia today because the redistricting in the state of Virginia, if it is successful, will give four congressional seats to the Democrats.

But the Supreme Court win. And if Governor Ron DeSantis is also successful with his plan to redistrict for Florida, then the Republicans may actually end up with more congressional seats. So just when you thought it was over, don't get too discouraged.

Things can change very quickly. Let's read this. The Supreme Court on Wednesday limited the scope of a key voting rights. Did I say Tuesday? It's Wednesday. What am I doing? Sorry. Wednesday. Man, this week is going faster than I thought.

OK, so correction. Wednesday limited the scope of a key Voting Rights Act provision that restricts how states draw districts affecting minority voters, constraining states use of race as a factor when drawing congressional maps ahead of the twenty twenty six midterms.

Justices for the six three majority ruled that Louisiana's newly redrawn congressional map, which created a second black majority district, constituted an illegal racial gerrymander. Though the justices acknowledged that compliance with the Voting Rights Act can be a compelling interest for states, they ruled that it did not require Louisiana to create the new map with a second majority black district.

So essentially what this is, is the Supreme Court saying in the way I understand it, that in order to comply with the Voting Rights Act, there were states with high black populations who were redistricting to account for that.

So there were areas that became congressional districts because of a popular sovereignty idea in the state that there's blacks here. Their interests are different than the surrounding population. Therefore, they need their own unique representation.

And the Supreme Court is saying now not necessarily. No, you don't actually have to do that. You can divide it up in different ways. You can do it geographically, for example, and that this does not constitute a unique group that requires unique representation.

Compliance with the Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, as proposed, construe, can provide such a reason, just as Samuel Alito said, writing for the majority. Correctly understood, Section 2 does not impose liability at odds with the Constitution.

It should not have imposed liability in Louisiana for its 2022 map. So this would actually go beyond just Louisiana, the implications of this, to many more states. Of course, the NAACP is concerned about this, as are the Southern Poverty Law Center and other left-wing groups, as you might imagine.

Justice Kavanaugh and other conservatives on the High Court appeared to open the idea that Congress, in passing the Voting Rights Act, may have intended a sort of sunset period for Section 2, allowing it to weaken over time.

That possibility was invoked by Kavanaugh several times. So we'll watch to see what actually happens with this. But this is a Supreme Court ruling. This is at a much later stage than obviously what's happening in Virginia, which is, I think it's going to probably on a track to be heard by the Supreme Court.

But at this point, it's only hit the state level. And we'll see what happens with both of those situations. So all that to say, let me restart here. Happy Wednesday. I somehow lost Monday. Monday was kind of a big day for, you can just pray for my family.

That's all I'm going to say. Monday was kind of a day that I didn't even count in my week. And there's a lot going on. But God is good. I'm very grateful to Him. And I am looking forward to seeing some of you, by the way, this weekend.

I will be traveling again. I will be down in Florida for the Truth Conference. And you can catch me on Friday evening. I'm going to be speaking there. It's TheTruthFellowship .org. TheTruthFellowship .org.

Russell Fuller is also going to be speaking, and David Whitney, and Chip D 'Armand, and Seth Brickley, and Jeff Klewer. And so my subject is the state of the American church. So you can pray for me. I have some thoughts.

I have some things I've written down. I don't have an entire speech at this point. And it's such a big topic, to be quite honest with you. In fact, I have to separate the online world from the real world, in a sense.

Not that they're not connected in any way. But there are good things happening. And we need to be reminded of those things while acknowledging there's also threats. And there's always going to be threats.

Like, should that surprise us? There were threats during Jesus's time on Earth, threats during the Apostle Paul's time on Earth. And they're constantly warning about threats. Threats don't stop. Threats come from different directions.

So I'll be talking about some of that. But I don't want it to focus on threats solely. I want to focus on some positive things and provide some encouragement, because I do think there are plenty of things to be encouraged about.

I also think we need to have our eyes also on not just what's happening on the online world, as important as that can be, but on the real world and what's happening out there. So there's a number of stats that have actually come out in the last week about Americans reading their Bible, searching at least online for biblical material, Americans going to church.

In fact, we've hit now numbers that are the highest since COVID for attending church. Now, what churches they're going to, that is a question that might discourage some people. And I don't know the complete answer to that.

But there are some metrics that I don't want to just throw away and say it's all bad. There are concerns, but there are also hopeful things. So we're going to talk about that. I'm going to give you a realistic picture, as best as I understand it.

And also some advice or encouragement for what you can do to be the most useful, to make the most impact for the kingdom of God. That's really what it's all about, right? It's not about building a personal platform or getting a political victory, as important as a political victory can be, or sometimes as important as even having influence can be over things God has given you.

But really the important thing for the Christian life is how do we serve God? What does he call this to do? How are we faithful in that? Faithfulness is obviously the stalwart constant quality throughout time that we should have.

So anyway, cosmic treason, man, you're always here. I just have to say, you know, cosmic treason says I get timely notifications for this channel. You know, you might be the only one. I don't know. Just a reminder, I'm the worst at marketing myself.

I don't like marketing myself, but I do probably need to say, I should say that you can press the, I don't even know what button it is. There's a subscribe button, obviously, but then there's also a notifications button.

You can hit that and you will be notified when this channel goes live. And for those who are in channel, who listen regularly, obviously feel free to share this with friends, with family. I appreciate the support.

And if you feel like supporting me more through prayer or through monetary means the best way to do that. There are, there are a number of ways actually on my website, you can go to johnharrismedia .com and there's a support tab there, but the regular givers give through Patreon or now through Substack.

So those are the places you can go again. I really appreciate it. You're the reason that I'm able to do this. And obviously the Lord in his providence. So let's talk about just a number of things. I want to start off with the big news over the weekend.

We had the, and this is maybe for some of you old news, but I want to go over some of it before we get to new news. The white house correspondence dinner suspect Cole Allen's full anti-Trump manifesto has been published.

And one of the interesting things about it is he mentions in this, I think I highlighted it. Maybe I lost the highlight. He mentions Trump being a pedophile. There's really two things that I wanted to focus on.

He twice calls him a pedophile, rapist and, and traitor. At least the word pedophile comes up twice. And I have to think that this is influenced by some of the more, what word do I use for this? Uh, aggressive, aggressive interpretations of the Epstein files.

And even some of the anonymous tips that are in those, I really do think more and more as information's come out about Jeffrey Epstein, there, there is an imbalance in the way that a lot of popular podcasts are interpreting that information.

And people are jumping to conclusions who probably haven't done a lot of research, but they have listened to podcasts. And, um, I, you know, I said from the beginning, my take on it from what I understand from what I've read, and I I've done some of the searches, but it's overwhelming the massive amounts of material.

Um, obviously I've been watching others who know more than me interpret what they think it says. I think some of what Michael Tracy has said, I don't know if I want to say all of it, but some of what Michael Tracy has said has been helpful in tempering some of the, uh, more aggressive interpretations.

And I landed at the spot of saying, look, this guy was obviously connected to intelligence organizations, or at least members of intelligence organizations, but not just that it really was, uh, important people in the government throughout the world.

And he is the kind of guy that when you wanted something done outside the law, he was the guy that could get it done. Even if it was something like a yacht for a Senator, he would hook you up with the right person to get the yacht to you.

And so you could purchase it at a good price. And he'd give advice to people like the former prime minister of Israel for what they could do to leverage their political career now in the private sector.

So there's a lot of that in the Epstein files. And there's also, there's just a lot of stuff. And I came to the conclusion, I think this guy is more or less an independent operator, but he's got all these kinds of these connections to the Rothschilds, to British government, to Russian government, to members of the Israeli government, to the probably a smart guy when it comes to finances and stuff, but more or less out for himself.

And I don't know of any evidence that's come out yet that he was filming people at Epstein Island in order to get dirt on them, to control them politically for intelligence organization. That's been a working theory.

A lot of people have forwarded that doesn't seem to have at least at this point, any, uh, substantial, uh, proof, uh, valid, um, primary, uh, what would you call it? Non-circumstantial proof, I suppose.

And, and so I, I want to take the evidence as it is as best as possible, but there are so many people who read into this, all kinds of things. And one of those things is look, there are these tips that say Donald Trump is doing the same things that Jeffrey Epstein's doing and with underage girls.

And, um, this wasn't anything that was, I mean, he, Trump says he's exonerated. I think that's probably the right word for it. There's no actual proof in that. These are just files that were taken as part of the investigation from anonymous tips and that kind of thing.

Uh, there's also things that would indicate Trump was concerned about Epstein at an early stage. So this guy was under the impression Trump's a pedophile. Where would he get that information? That's the only source I know of.

He's listening to either podcasts or his sources of information in written form are telling him that's what these files say. And I I've said this before, and I'll probably say it again. The Epstein files are like a cave.

It's big, it's dark, and there's a lot of different channels that you can go down and you need to know how to navigate a cave. You need some spelunking skills, you need rope, you need a flashlight. You probably need, uh, if you don't know those things, a guide.

And if you don't have those things and you just wander around the cave, then you will go down all kinds of different rabbit holes and you won't know what you're looking at. And I think that's probably a fair assessment of how the Epstein files have been interpreted by a lot of people.

So it doesn't mean he's, I'm not saying he's a good guy, obviously. I know there's people that will overreact to even what I'm saying now, really bad guy and, uh, should definitely have been in prison and more than prison in my estimation.

But, um, but there's all kinds of theories that have spiraled out of this, that have, uh, um, varying degrees of legitimacy, we'll say. So this is one of the things that he said. And another thing that he said, uh, he wants to give a defense of himself.

And he says, objection one as a Christian, you should turn the other cheek, which I thought, well, that's interesting. He's anticipating people will object to what he's doing in trying to assassinate the president.

And one of the concerns he has is they will use scripture on him and say, you should turn the other cheek. And he tells them, no, that doesn't apply. Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed.

I'm not a person raped in a detention camp. I'm not a fisherman executed without trial. I'm not a school kid blown up. So these are all the things presumably that the Trump administration has done. And he says, turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior.

So he's on a social justice mission here, guys, he sees Trump. And he says, this guy is, he's, he is literally quote unquote, Hitler to borrow the phrase that the left quite often uses of Trump. He's literally Hitler.

He's doing all sorts of horrific things. And those things need to stop. And it's very simple. If we kill Donald Trump, those things will stop. Well, this one of the major points that I want to make in this podcast, and I want you to hear me clearly on this is your sources of information do matter, who you listen to, how they handle the truth, how far they go, do they tell you what you want to hear, or they tell you what you need to hear?

Are they careful in what they tell you? Do they take truth seriously? If they're corrected, do they retract? These are things that you really need to consider. And I'm probably gonna be banging this drum for a while, because there's so much slop out there that gives you information that I think, probably, for the masses, might help them cope in some ways might help them understand from their perspective, why their lives aren't working out the way that they think they should work out.

Even if it's not accurate, it does give them some kind of a metric for understanding. It, there's narratives that help you not feel as responsible for the dire circumstances you're in. I mean, the sky's the limit.

There's all kinds of narratives out there. If you turn on the radio at like 3am, when I've gotten up to go hunting, sometimes I'll do this, you'll hear shows on talk radio that are all about Bigfoot and the aliens controlling things.

I mean, there's wild, wild stuff all over the place. And as Christians, we got to be grounded first in the Word of God. All right, this is our stability, it doesn't change. It's true. It describes human reality, the anthropology, what humans are like, in accurate terms, so we can understand how humans behave.

It gives you example after example of what that looks like. And it also gives you the truth of God, his moral law, what he expects from us, it grounds us in our own responsibilities to our families and beyond.

You need to be grounded in that first. Number two, have good information sources from your news, for your news, for your commentary, if you have extra time, which I really do consider that's extra time.

That's when you're in the car, when you're commuting, those are the kinds of times that you have time to gain. And you can listen to sermons, you can listen, I mean, I'm not going to go through all of it, right.

But there's all these options you have. Make sure your diet is a healthy one, just like you would look at your, hopefully, your nutritional value when it comes to the nutrients you're putting into your body.

Make sure that you're applying the same kind of discernment when it comes to the things you're putting into your mind. If you don't, you'll go down the road, you're not going to hopefully try to kill anyone at the level that this particular individual is trying to kill the president.

But you will adopt narratives that are not true that lead to bad things. And that's what somehow Cole Allen was under some of these things. Here's another interesting tidbit about all this. Allen's father, Thomas Allen, was listed as an elder at Grace United Reformed Church in Torrance, which I believe is California, an evangelical congregation that describes itself as preaching a gospel that is Christ-centered, covenantal, and confessional.

So you have a Presbyterian, covenant, reformed Christian who carried this attack out, presumably. Now, I don't know where he was at. Maybe he rejected that. I don't know anything beyond that. But he's obviously still thinking in terms of, I'm a Christian on some level.

And there's, I mean, there's all kinds of ideas about why, what else might have motivated him. He helped design first-person shooter games. There's violence, obviously, associated with that. But for our purposes on this show, I think it is fair to just say, look, if this person was going to or had a background in and still remained in some kind of connection to a conservative, reformed, maybe even evangelical-type church, we got to make sure that we're raising our children appropriately.

Not just for—we shouldn't be just thinking of our own diet information. Think about the information they're consuming as well. Put them on the right path as much as you possibly can. Be involved with them.

This is quite the drastic thing. And he says, one of the things he says, too—I'll just point this out as the third and final thing we'll talk about regarding this assassination attempt—is that he was surprised at the lack of security at the hotel, at the event.

He was able to get guns into the hotel room. How was he able to do that? Reminds me of the Vegas shooter. He checked in a day early, and people weren't paying attention until the day of the event. That's a very concerning thing.

And obviously, the government needs to take this seriously. It's a little bit mind-blowing, I think, for many of us. Why is it that after repeated assassination attempts on President Trump, this guy got close enough to be in the lobby?

I mean, and they didn't even kill him in the lobby. They shot at him and missed, and then they were able to apprehend him. But I don't really know enough to comment beyond that. It just strikes me as surprising that he was able to get as far as he was able to get.

I'm sure the White House is concerned and probably taking measures and looking into it, because you have foreign dignitaries also coming, like Prince Charles—now King Charles, sorry—who's here now, unless he just left.

I mean, this doesn't really give a lot of confidence to foreign dignitaries when they come. Are they going to be protected? Well, they should be. They need to be. And so, a little bit of a wake-up call for people in the White House.

Now, one of the accusations about the gunman, Cole Allen, is that he was a supporter of Israel. This was very early on, and there was a photo of him that said the IDF, the Israel Defense Forces, on it.

Now, apparently, this was photoshopped. This was—or AI, I guess. I'm not sure exactly, but it was fake and AI-generated, according to this story from the New York Post. It reveals multiple inconsistencies that you see with AI-generated images.

So, they were able to pull that up and say, look, he's got missing moles, and it's just, obviously, AI did something to his face, and they go through the assessment of that. But I think it's a good time for me to talk about something that I have talked about before, but I want to do it maybe a little more comprehensively.

I want to illustrate it, and that is this. There's a reason people jump to that. There's a reason that something bad happens, and you'll see all over social media immediately, it's Israel, it's the Jews.

One, the other, or both. It's like clockwork now. It doesn't seem to matter what's happening. I'm expecting the next hurricane to be caused by the Jews. I mean, it's become insane-level stuff, and unfortunately, it's become that way because there are a lot of people who either have turned a blind eye to it, and this has been erupting in their audiences, and they've decided to go along with it, or they didn't take it very seriously, or they're encouraging it because they see the opportunity in it, that if they encourage this, it's very popular, and they can receive a lot of attention, and not just clicks, but also money.

I mean, there's people who will give, and advertising revenue does turn clicks into, and likes into money, so there is a massive incentive to not counter-signal this at all, to not discipline your audience if you're a podcaster, or radio host, or something, but especially if you're on the internet, especially if you have a big platform on places like X, to encourage it because that is, in this stage, one of the ways you can grow your platform.

Now, I'm not saying that everyone who goes down this path is just responding to that incentive structure. That incentive structure certainly does exist, and as someone who's behind a podcast microphone, who is engaged in these conversations, I've never been someone who looks at metrics that much because I just don't care that much, but I can sense, if I talk about this issue, even after this podcast, there will be pushback.

There will be people who, I might even have patrons, who will not like it, and this is just the reality right now, but it does need to be addressed at some point. I don't think it's the only thing. I certainly don't want to make it the focal point of this podcast.

I've always said that, but it does need to be addressed because I'll just tell you this. This is affecting me to some extent, not me personally, but just even in my church and in the circles that I run, and I'm seeing more of this even in real life.

Now, it's not like it is on X at all, but I'm seeing people disassociate or draw very strong friend-enemy lines, withdraw support, things like that because this issue has become the issue for them. If you're not going after Jews or Israel the way they think you should do so, at the level they think you should do it, you're not in the fight at all because that's the fight, and so things like this become more and more common, and they become more and more sloppy.

I believe as a Christian, we do need to be about truth. We do need truth adjudication. We shouldn't just believe things necessarily because someone said them, especially if they're very unlikely and we don't have sources.

I mean, this is sort of part of my historiographical training is how we treat sources is very important, but more importantly, we just worship a God of truth, and so yes, if there are interests that are specifically Jewish and they're behind something bad, it's fair to examine that.

If Israel does something wrong, it is fair to be critical of that. There's no question with those things, but let me illustrate something for you. There's a switch that happened, and I think it was primarily after Charlie Kirk died, and some of you sensed it and maybe didn't know how to articulate it.

Let me try to articulate it for you. There was a switch from the Jews are behind some social issues to the Jews are the issue. Israel is behind some social issues. Israel is the issue. That is the ism.

Now, I don't like the word anti-Semitism for a variety of reasons. Most notably, the Semites are beyond just Jewish people. There are many Muslims who would be anti-Semites, but the pathological way of thinking, the ideological way of thinking, the ism, if you will, I think is that, and it's a subtle shift.

The world becomes ones and zeros. It's Jews are the goy. You start attributing things to that. Even the food you eat, it's goyslop, meaning the Jews are behind the unhealthy things that you're eating, and they intend for the goy.

If you believe the mistranslation or the misunderstanding of that from Protocols of Elders of Zion, you think that means cattle or something, then you're being treated like cattle. This becomes part of your worldview now.

It is similar in some ways. It's not the egalitarian stuff of the woke movement, but there is a similarity in the revolutionary ideological thinking, wherein you had whiteness being the main problem, and everything was attributed to whiteness among certain groups.

It became, I think, at a fever pitch in 2020, the entire left, and even some of the moderates became just swirled up in this dervish of it's white people behind all of these problems. In other words, you can walk in on the crime scene.

I don't need to know the evidence. I don't need to know who was involved. I know who was the perpetrator. I know who was the victim. Before anything's evaluated, you already know. That's how you know you're in ideology land.

That's how you know it's a pathological ism kind of thing. I've talked about this kind of stuff in the past. I've warned about it, but it's reaching a fever pitch. You could spend all day. I could just do every podcast if I wanted, just without even looking, just passively kind of things that are even just sent to me, just putting those up on the screen and saying, okay, this is why people say this is Israel, or people say this is the Jews, but it's probably not.

Out of probably 20 things that I put up there, one of them might be legitimately, yeah, Israel did something wrong here. That's the land that we're living in right now. I know some of you don't like it.

You don't like me when I say it. It's the truth. You do need a little bit of a wake up call. I want to illustrate this a little bit. I want to talk a little bit about someone that I've had some association with in the past because I've been on his podcast.

He's been on my podcast. I have privately tried to, we'll just say, prevent the situation as it stands now. That effort on my part was not appreciated the way that I was hoping it would be. That's fine.

People don't have to listen to what I have to say, but I think that Joel Webben, Pastor Joel Webben, he is obviously one person in a broader panoply of people who have started to or going down this path in some way, shape, or form.

They're on that spectrum. It's sad to me what's happened because I saw, someone sent this to me. I don't really follow what Joel does much at all, but people do send me things every once in a while that they want my opinion on.

One of the things this week, and it made me sad a little bit, was it was a video. If you don't know who Joel Webben is, he has a podcast. He's a pastor in Georgetown, Texas. He put out a video on the Lord's Day where he just said, look guys, now there's a number of things I didn't think were necessarily that helpful, but one of the things he said that he was right about, and I want to say this about it, he was right about this, is he says, and I'm summarizing, look, not everything is Israel or the Jews' fault.

White liberals are also a problem, guys. The reason he said it is because, look, the assassination attempt wasn't a Jewish person. In fact, before I even get into all of this, let me just review with you the assassins of President Trump, attempted assassins.

You have Michael Stephen Sanford in June of 2016, Las Vegas rally. A British national living illegally in the United States on the left. You have Gregory Lee Lange, who is a 42-year-old local at a, I guess it was a rally.

He stole a forklift during Trump's visit there, and he wanted to flip a limo and kill Trump on the left, and has bipolar and other things, but he's not Jewish. Pascal, if I can say his name right, Ferriere, I think is his name.

This was in 2020. I actually, these first three, actually, I was not familiar with. I had to look them up. I didn't realize there were this many attempts, but dual Canadian, French citizen. Again, on the left, Thomas Matthew Crooks.

We all know who he is because that's the famous one, right? Butler, Pennsylvania rally. He gave to Act Blue, progressive group, and so we can, I think, safely conclude on the left, Ryan Wesley Ruth. That was the West Palm Beach, the golf course shooting, attempted shooting.

That was a 58-year-old with a rifle, and he was in the bushes near Trump International Golf Club. Again, on the left, and he made donations to Democrats, to Act Blue, and then we have this latest case, again, on the left.

I don't think I included Iran. I guess, can we say Iran's on the left? I think they certainly have a co-belligerency, we'll say. Joel Webbin, when he says, look, you can't say that this is all Israel or all the Jews.

Yeah, he's absolutely right. None of those guys were Jews. None of those guys had connections, we know that, to Israel. Some of you might say, well, of course, Trump's pro-Israel, right? But these are people on the left who want to destroy Trump.

Now, is that 50 of the country? And do they want to kill you too? I don't think 50 of the country necessarily wants you dead, but I do think way too many people do on the left. The left is violent, the left is revolutionary.

So, here's the problem, though, that you're going to have if you are a podcaster or an influencer, and you've entertained way too much of this anti-Jewish ideological thinking. Because if you try to course correct it, and you try to tell your audience, look, not everything is that, hey, be careful here, then they're not probably all going to follow you.

Some of them are going to be like, wait a minute, that's different than what you've said. And the fact that you have to say it in the first place to an audience is evidence, perhaps, that they've been marinating in layers and layers of stuff that has now put them on a trajectory where for some of them, it's going to take some real big wake-up calls to get out of it.

So, let me illustrate this for you. What does this look like in real terms? This is not comprehensive, but here's just some things that Pastor Joel Webben has put out there. He calls abortion a Jewish sacrament.

Now, you could say there's liberal Jews out there who view abortion as part of their religion, just like there are liberal Protestants. I hesitate to use the word, but they are in the PCUSA and the Episcopal Church, and those kinds of places.

And they will say similar things, but do conservative religious Jews see abortion as a sacrament? No, not at all. A sacrament? No. Who sees it that way? Well, it's the rainbow flag. It's like the very liberal Jews, just like very liberal Christians out there.

So, without any qualification, just say, well, that's what abortion is. It's a Jewish sacrament. Then you give your audience a certain impression, right? And then I think, does he? No, he doesn't. To say that gender equality is a Jewish plot to eradicate white people, all right?

And then to clarify, liberalism is largely a Jewish project. The driving engine of liberalism is egalitarian. The only way to truly achieve egalitarianism is androgyny. This ideology has been primarily pushed on white Western countries.

Ratio, okay, yeah, right? At this point, a ratio on X to me is like, I don't know. I don't know how valuable it is. It's lost its luster. I'll say that. So, it's a foreign thing pushed on white Western countries, gender equality.

So, what's the assumption there? White Western countries didn't come up with this. White Western countries aren't the ones that are trying to enact this. This is something pushed on them by who? Jewish people.

This is largely a Jewish thing. Gender equality is a Jewish plot to eradicate white people. That's the quote. Now, if it's feminism, if that is the driving force behind this, if that's where all of this starts, then what are we talking about then?

I think of an American history just having studied some of the first wave feminists. I mean, you could put that as the genesis, I suppose, of this gender equality, right? And even if you want to go to European, you got like Mary Wollstonecraft.

In the United States, though, the figures I'm more familiar with are like Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony. None of these people are Jewish. None of them. The 1848 Seneca Falls Declaration, there's no Jewish people there.

This is the genesis of all of this. Where did it start? It started in the Northeast. It was New York, specifically. But it's a bunch of people who are basically former Christians or quasi-Christian, but they've lost their Christianity.

They're Unitarian now. It's the New England theology that developed after Puritanism of Unitarianism and Transcendentalism. And there's Quakers involved in this who aren't exactly Orthodox. So this is what we're talking about.

That's not where this started. But if you just say, look, gender equality is a Jewish plot to eradicate white people, they might believe it. Here's another one. Lie. Israel is the lone bulwark holding back Islam.

Truth. Jewish NGOs are the top funders of Muslim immigration into Europe and America. Now there's conflations, I think, going on here. The idea that Jews and Israel are somehow, I mean, obviously there's Jews in Israel, but there's religious Jews, there's secular Jews, there's differences among religious Jews, like the Haredi in Israel are not very well liked by the Orthodox, and they don't like, they won't serve in the IDF.

There's all these different variations that I think a responsible person has to understand before wading into these waters at all and talking about these differences. But world Jewry, quote unquote, Jewish people who are influential across the world in Europe and other places, that's not the same thing as Israel, and they don't always have the same interests.

So there's an issue there. But first, but I think the bigger problem here is Jewish NGOs are not the top funders of Muslim immigration into Europe and America, depending on what you think Jewish NGOs are.

So why do I say that? Well, if we think of globally, you have organizations like the International Rescue Committee. Now that did start to help, in large part, much of their work was former or Jewish people in former Nazi-occupied territories.
