From Iran to Judea: A Multi-Front Crisis Is Unfolding

Happy new year and welcome to the Israel Guys, where we believe that in a world of anti-Israel propaganda, you should always be connected to the land and people of Israel. It's January 1st, 2026. Very happy to be with you all back together again. Joshua Waller, Ari Bramitz, Jeremy Gimpel, and congratulations guys. This is our oneyear anniversary of this special weekly roundt podcast, even if occasionally it isn't quite every week, but we've we've done a lot together in the last year. And uh I I hope the audience is going to be very happy to hear that we don't have plans of going going anywhere this year. That the the goal and the plan is to keep continuing strong. Uh get this podcast out every week this year and uh continue shining the light from Zion. I think that's the goal. So, um, I'd just say congratulations and and happy new year to all of you. Um, I know this is like the fifth new year, I think, right, in Israel. Uh, I don't know how many new years the Jewish people have, but it's quite a quite a quite a few. >> We got the new year for trees coming up soon. >> That's right. To be >> That's right. Yeah. So, so anyways, we're diving into all kinds of stuff today. Obviously, the world knows that Iran is burning to the ground. Uh, and the, you know, there's probably developments as we're recording this show. We'll get into that a little bit later. We also we kind of covered it extensively out yesterday on the Israel Guys program. Um, obviously there's new developments today, so we'll get into some commentary on that. Will Iran fall? Will they attack Israel again? Will the US or Israel strike at Iran first? Are they rebuilding their nuclear program? But I want to dive in with a shocking video. You guys do not want to miss this shocking shocking shocking video that happened 10 minutes down the road from where we're sitting right now. Um, and this this is something that we have never seen in Israel, Judea, and Samaria before. Watch this. >> And I just want to tell Brew quick before we jump this in is this is a good friend of ours who was out on a hike that took this video. So, this is a real this is like inhouse verified. This is right out our back door here from a friend from the field. Watch this. >> I want to get one of you guys to kind of translate. Basically, he's standing there in the land of Israel, right outside of a Jewish village in uh Samaria, right here, right? And and he sees the Palestinian Authority policemen armed to the teeth with Kalachnikovs. Was there an RPG there? >> Not in that scene. >> I mean, not in that scene, but we're seeing videos and videos of them RPGs. And he's saying, "This is absolutely unbelievable. This is mindblowing. We actually gave them these weapons in the Oslo debacle, in the embarrassing, humiliating desecration of God's name, which was the Oslo Accords, in which Israel surrendered Judea and Samaria to the Palestinian Authority, which you know, it's a pal it has a sort of um smacks of a certain legitimacy, authority. They have some authority. There's these are it's kamas in suits. It's kamas in suits. And here they are with Kalachnikovs in area C, which according to the Oslo Accords is not totally off limits, completely off limits. That's that's Israeli um state lands. >> So So not only did Israel give them these weapons, but on some level the Oslo Accords called for some kind of Palestinian police force, right? Uh which we all know the Oslo Accords is just absolutely bunk and defunct now. Nobody, you know, the the PA has not held up to their side at all. But I but what's shocking about this and why we've never seen this before is we're we're talking about Israeli sovereign territory even area C right outside and and the the friend of ours who's a farmer that we actually work with every year in Israel. They were hiking. From what I understand, it come up out of the hike onto an Israeli road, Jewish road, area C, which is specifically designated for Israel and the Azords. And the road is blocked by PA security forces, aka probably terrorists. Can I tell you what's even more concerning this is it's not just a random outside somewhere place. Ari already just alluded to the fact it's close by here, but it's close by Ariel. Now, Ariel is a city of some 30 40,000 I believe now. Yeah. Um Jewish residents. These officers, these loaded um you know, fully decked out plates, vests, helmets, um you know, machine guns 5 minutes from the entrance of this major city here in Samaria. To me, that is um you know, forces us to look back two years. >> Yeah. It's also something that I think we deserve as the Jewish people. Unfortunately, I'm just being honest. When we look at the thousands of years of yearning and of prayers, please bring us back to to our land. And then God brings us back to our land and an overwhelming miraculous wars in which we're outweaponed and outmanned. Sometimes 10 to one, 40 to1, he we return to our we liberate our ancient homeland, which he promised he would do with kindness and compassion and mercy. He gives it to us and then we surrender it voluntarily to it's not to Sweden. you know that's coming in and saying we want to yodel and have have love and friendship like just from the most basic intuition. You don't create a covenant and a contract with people who are saying never stopped saying for a moment that their purpose is to wipe you off the map and murder all of you. Let alone the land that God said this is my land. It's not even ours to give away. We're entrusted with it and we do that. What is what do we see in the book of Numbers? But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those whom you let remain shall be thorns in your eyes and pricks in your sides, and they shall harass you in the land in which you dwell. Or in Joshua, know for certain that the Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations from before you, but they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides, a thorn in your eyes until you perish. Right? This is God has warned us. And what do we do? Instead of seeking God's favor and being true to our covenant with him, we seek international validation. We seek the love of the world and we get the absolute reverse. The world hates us and despises us and resents us even more. Not only that, we gave them the guns that they're now pointing at us. So, it's instead of just aligning ourselves with the truth, claiming this is our land, living as if our land, we've broken that covenant, armed the enemy, and now the enemy is turning against us. And here we are now because that was a test. that I can tell you if inside area C, just outside of Ariel, they're now testing their limits. How is Israel going to respond? That armed PA police officers, quote unquote, were now threatening Jewish citizens on a hike. What's happening? So, they're looking and they're going to see how are we going to respond to that and they're going to act accordingly. >> Yeah. Yeah, there's an interview on uh Fox News interviewed BB Netanyahu in the US this week, which I want to play some clips from that later on in the show, but at one point BB talks about this disarmment of Hamas, which obviously is not happening, but he names the exact number of weapons that Hamas has. Before we started, Nate pointed out that the reason Netanyahu knows that number. I think he said like something like 60,000, you know, AK-47s or Kalashnikovs. He said the reason they know that number is because Israel gave them the weapons or allowed the weapons in, right? Uh before we move on from this topic, I just want to play one more video clip because it gets even worse. And this is a video clip of the PA training, I believe, somewhere in Jericho or near Jericho. Uh but they don't just have weapons, they they or guns, they have RPGs. Watch this. You know what's absolutely outrageous to me is is that okay so why do they need these weapons and why did America and the Oslo courts think that okay we're going to arm the the big bad wolf in order to protect the sheep somehow the ide the ideology is so far from the reality on the ground it's obvious after you know how many years uh 1994 I believe the Oslo Accords side all these years we have data in the Palestinian Authority is a terrorist organization that their their trained members murder Jews >> and then they get paid for murdering Jews >> not actually on the books it's it's that's the process you kill you receive benefit from you understand that a lot a number of these terrorist attacks have been committed by PA police officers >> the the ones that America funded to train >> yeah not just pal Palestinian Authority giving any terrorist the money. Actual police officers that are currently police officers are murdering Jews. >> Not just who. Like I'm talking about tons. And so and the fact that now this this such the corrupted idea that these people somehow need to be trained in order to bring, you know, because obviously they have a civil problem, you know, um the the the radicalization of their communities. Well, the problem is the ones leading the rad radicalization of their communities is the PA officers themselves. >> It's like the mayor. We'll get back to the podcast in just a second, but first, if you guys want to show your support for Israel in 2026, one of the best ways you can do that is by picking up the Israel leather patch established 1948 hats that we carry on the Israel Guys store. And we have them in a bunch of different colors. I'll show you. green. Uh we got red. We have blue, gray, a different color gray. I don't even know if all these colors are on the store because we don't keep a lot of them in stock because our store is very, very small. So, if you guys want a hat, you need to go get it right now. Beautiful leather patch engraved hats. Uh Richardson 112. These are like our team members favorite hats. You see them, the hosts wear them on the show a lot. A lot of our uh staff members have like 10 or 15 of them. That's also why it's hard to keep them in stock uh because the team, you know, our staff members just buy them up so quickly. If you guys want to stand strongly with Israel and show your support publicly, get a leather patch Israel established hat today at the Israel guys. We'll put a link in the description below. Back to the podcast. It's like the mayor that you interviewed and tour Messiah, which is right next to Shilo. It's that village everybody calls like the Hollywood Boulevard cuz it's just mansions of a Palestinian village. We interviewed the mayor and you asked him, "What's your biggest problem that you deal with on a daily basis?" And he said, "Well, it's like local crime, you know, I I I deal with these guys." And then he caught himself. He's like, "No, actually, sorry, I misspoke. It's settler violence, you know, just repeating the >> repeating the line." Um, but yeah, I think I agree with Jeremy that like this is if you if you see armed PA police officers in Israeli sovereign territory, Area C, it's >> uh it's that's like the tip of the iceberg. >> Yeah. I mean, there should be alarms going off. By the way, the number is 44 that I know of. There were 44 PA police officers who have been declared martyrs for killing Jews and terrorist attacks >> and are now on a lifetime salary from PA. >> Right. And is considered by America and the world as the moderate faction. That's the >> PA, right? Yeah. Yeah. Cuz they're not >> just just to kind of highlight for the audience the the danger of this. Ari's gonna kill this fly if he gets a chance. So, >> just get an YouTube shorts about it and it'll go viral. But um uh the highlight because people are people probably would want to know. They're always hearing about terrorism, hearing about the IDF squashing terrorism in Judea and Samaria, the West Bank. Like how is this different? Right? Well, you have areas A, B, and C. Areas A is like Arab cities and towns, right? Area B is is a lot of Arab houses and towns, but it's like roads go through it. And you have both. If you drive on the highway down here, you have Israeli cars, Arab cars. Most of the the when the IDF goes in on missions to squash terrorism, it's in areas A or B, right? They go into Sheim, uh they go into Ramala, they go into Jericho or like these areas. They're taking out terrorists, arresting terrorists. The difference here is that the PA is now like coming out of those areas into Jewish villages, Jewish towns, Jewish roads, Jewish hiking areas. And if this erupts into war with the PA openly attacking Israel in their own sovereign territory, we're talking now we're driving to the grocery store and there's, you know, two armored vehicles like firing RPGs at each other. Uh it's it's a whole another level. I guess I want you to know that I I was alive for this. I remember this before Oslo was passed. There were huge demonstrations throughout Israel. I mean, the country arose with a with a a zeal against what we saw clearly and intuitively and obviously was going to be a suicide pact that would just drench the streets of Israel with blood. We knew it. The nation knew it. Remember, Jeremy, they would let sheep out into the streets saying, "We're going like sheep to the slaughter." And it doesn't matter. And they were able to through very nefarious means get it passed by one vote because what is it officially? If you look at the one commercial that Louis Theorough had for his entire documentary, it was him saying, "Is this area A or C or B?" I'm like, "I don't even care." That's just what it is. Is it's a European Western projection of their values and their very very limited, distorted, backwards understanding of the situation projected on the situation here, which just amplified it and made it worse. If you pass by a area A, am I allowed to drive into there? No. It says a sign. If Jews come in here, you will die. It says you will die. You will be illegal. >> Yeah, it's illegal. It you will die. It is like roughly the equivalent of entering Awitz for some of them. For other villages that I actually know of, you can drive right in and they'll greet you nicely, right? It there was there was nuance. There was a relationships. And think about just from the state of Israel perspective. Imagine you're an Arab who actually has an affinity and affection for Jews going back to Ishmael and Isaac. and they have that consciousness and awareness and there's a lot of them in this country that are like that and then you put a big sign in front of their village. They're a hospitable people that says if you come in here you will die. Talk about disempowerment. >> Yeah. >> Right. We got to take those signs down. We got to reverse this entire Oslo thing which was a horrific mistake to begin with. There is no area A, no area B, no area C. Sovereignty over Judea and Samaria. This game is over. Well said. That's what needs to happen. Well said. Well, I think that October 7th sort of proved that has nothing to do with areas A, B, or C or the 67 borders. The communities around Gaza were the most peaceloving communities in Israel. They were in 1948 borders that had nothing to do with that. If we don't realize this isn't a political war with political language, it is a fundamental religious war, a spiritual battle. And until Israel recognizes that and operates accordingly, we're never going to have a solution to this issue. I mean, just think about that title, Oslo. Oslo in Norway. These smug, arrogant, cosmopolitan, atheist Europeans coming in and imposing their will on us here. Like, talk about like subjugated, vassalized Jews. We're not that anymore. You know, we need to rise up with a a fierce vengeance and saynone of this anymore. Get out. like and as opposed to the Abraham Accords, right? That came from within us that was saying, "No, this is a biblical issue. Let's go to the biblical roots of it." And that was beautiful, right? But then the Oslo Accords. So that's a perfect, you know, uh, foil, the Oslo Accords and the Abraham Accords, which is the route that we want to take. You know, I think it's ironic and important what you said, Jeremy, uh, is that, you know, if you were to predict an October 7th style attack, it most definitely would have been been predicted in Judea and Samaria. you know, like all these Arab communities, terrorist hotbeds, like nobody would have imagined that that would take place in Israel proper in the most, like you said, most peaceloving communities. Um, and so I think that's really important for people to to understand is that this is also like terrorist attacks in Israel in the last few years happening outside Judea and Samaria, in Tel Aviv, in Load, in Kyifa, you know, in most like Israeli cities where there is supposedly Israeli sovereignty over the land, right? Well, the defense minister did just come out saying that Israel's on high alert now because they are planning an October 7th like event here in Judea and Samaria. So, we have to keep our eyes open. >> Well, I feel that on the on the streets you drive, you you sense that, you know, we just showed the video from the hike. That is what is operating. There's a buzz in these Arab communities inside. Um, and that's shown to us when we get close to that nest. It's it's it's fuming. It's it's like there's an empowerment that's happened when the international world talks the way they're talking when they're cancelling, you know, these these uh these events all over Europe and, you know, these uh even the Jeremy, you were just mentioning the uh end of the year, you know, these these um these these celebrations, new year celebrations that were intended to happen in these countries are being foiled because people are scared. Well, you know what that does? That just empowers these guys on this side to say we've got it. >> Can you mention that though? Because I I was shocked to hear that it was not like Jewish groups that were cuz you would think uh like Hanukkah celebrations have to be cancelled or they're in danger. There's a Hanukkah attack in Sydney, Australia, right? But you're just saying just New Year celebrations in general had to be cancelled because of threats from >> Yeah. There were there were attacks on the Christmas markets in Europe and then Australia, France, and Germany had to cancel their public New Year's events. The New York celebration they were scared of Islamic Jesus. >> Is New Year's uh Christian Is it Jewish? >> Pretty secular from what I've seen. >> It's Christian. But does that surprise you? >> Is it Christian? >> New Year's is a Christian. >> Well, I think originally Well, it's a AD after death. Who's dead? >> Nobody looks at New Years as Christian, do they? >> Muslims pretty secular. >> Do they? The Muslims. >> I think they have a totally different calendar. So, you're selling a calendar that's not their calendar. >> Though, I what I'm hearing is that >> anything except Islam. Uh, >> no. What people don't realize is that as they were protesting against Israel, they were saying globalize the antifa. globalized the antifa and now they're globalizing the antifa that uprising is happening all over the world. Whatever is happening in Judea and Samaria in the heartland of Israel, that's just a mirror for what's going to happen around the world. And it's happening, >> right? Well, does it surprise you after what happened in Texas? In Texas with the Israel guys summit in a lot of ways, you know, like we look back in Charlie Kirk, we all have a feeling it's going to be viewed in history books as a turning point of some sort. We we're still seeing what that turning point is turning into, ironically, turning point USA. But um but I I think that we're going to look back at at right now what's happening as as a real turning point in the entire situation. >> Well, I mean when you think about the conservative movement, I've been trying to think about that like what is this break? Because he was one of the last ones in the conservative Republican party that was staunchly pro-Israel unapologetically. And now there's a real rift within the Republican party, within the conservative movement. And people are calling it the woke right. People are calling it the woke reich. like there's like the Nazis within the conservative movement and I really want to call it the pagan right. That's really what it boils down to. Is God an active participant in history? Is he alive? Is the Bible a book that was written thousands of years ago? Or is the Bible speaking to us today? Is prophecy unfolding today? Is what's happening in Israel a part of God's plan? And the woke right are saying no. They don't want to bring God into the real world. They want to keep God as a relic on a shelf somewhere. It's part of an ancient people, an ancient Bible, and the real conservative movements that are God-loving and God-fearing people are saying what's happening in Israel is biblical destiny. And that really is going to be the dividing line. >> Yeah. Before we move on from the topic of Judea and Samaria, just some stats that have come out. Uh, defense minister Israel Katz visited Jude and Samaria this week. uh he did order the commanders of the IDF here to prepare to respond quote prepare to respond to a possible October 7th style attack on communities in Judea and Samaran along the seam line. At the same time he uh noted that there's been a massive decrease in terrorist activities in Jude and Samar in 2025 uh 80% decrease and that's due to the IDF operations that have been going on for at least a year now. But the IDF has been going into every terrorist hotbed in Judea and Samaria and cleaning house. >> You know, when they saw the uptick here is when they the ceasefire went into effect in Gaza. That that's when it empowered these guys to be like, "Okay, now it's our turn. We're going to we're going to we're going to push now that there's a whenever the IDF whenever Israel is strong, whenever they're showing strength, these guys understand there's no we we don't have this is never going to work for us." Whenever Israel shows weakness, which means deals, ceasefires, any kind of compliance with international agendas that are not in Israel's unique um favor, these guys are emboldened. And then we see the spike in terrorism or whatever kind of uh especially in these these villages around us. >> Yeah. The terrorist attacks against Jews in in Judea at least has gone down precipitously because of exactly these uh security attacks. But there was an incident that happened. We were going to talk about it on the show. We didn't. We were going to we're thinking about it because it's sort of the dirty underbelly of of some of the stuff that happens in Israel that you don't necessarily want to air your dirty laundry. But I think that if we're going to really have truth, we need to be willing to talk about that. So I think it was maybe a month ago right across the valley from us, there was a Jewish village called Turiskavi, right? And these were Jews that went uh put very much with tremendous self-sacrifice built homes on these mountaintops in Judea, very much protecting them from jihadist takeover. And then the Israeli government came in and destroyed many of these homes, the ones that were in the process of being built. And the painful part is that it wasn't only the higherups in the government that doesn't represent the nation. A lot of it was the local municipalities in Judea that were saying, "We have a plan here to build a thousand units and now these sort of renegade Jews are building their houses here. We can't do that." Right? So they came in and they destroyed it. And it doesn't matter what their justification is in my mind at least. For them to go and forcefully destroy Jewish homes in Judea, the very next day there was a horrible terrorist attack. And there hadn't been one for such a long time. Because when the our enemies see when they smell blood, when they see us fighting each other, when they see that >> disunityity or whatever it is, it shows weakness, >> right? It shows weakness. That's what this is about. >> Uh 2025 snapshot of terrorism in Judea and Samaria. 20 Israelis were killed in terror attacks in 2025. >> Um that's from 60 attacks, including stabbings, rammings, and shootings, compared to about 250 attacks the year before in 2024. Um, as far as people killed, in 2024 there was 34 people killed and in 2023 41 people killed. So, um, terrorism is definitely down in Judian Smar. A lot of that thanks to the IDF operations. Question is, is it okay that 20 people were killed? Is it okay that that the daughter of Israel has a toenail chipped >> by a jihadist terrorist? That should be enough in my mind to unreak the wrath of of the nation of Israel. That's the and I'm not even being facitious or exaggerating. That should be the posture. That is all that they understand and that is actually what the truth of the situation is. We need to have a self-respect and a righteous indignation that is worthy of our people. >> You know, the terrorist attack that you just mentioned in Goshion was actually done by PA policemen. And now we're seeing PA policemen with machine guns standing in area C on the roads blocking Jewish people that are just kind of going on a hike through the mountains. And to me, it's obvious that 2026 is going to see war. It may be a war with Iran. It may be a war within Judea and Samaria. And Israel is actually taking steps along the way. I just heard that Israel's going to invest $110 billion dollar to build its own independent arm industry here in in in Israel because America all of a sudden had like you know they're like arms embargos they were threatening us and Israel saying we have to prepare for post Trump who knows what the next president will be from the right and from the left and so Israel is taking steps to become more and more independent. >> That's crazy. You know I'm also seeing some big um news on the Jordanian border because that's also a massive threat there and a lot of the weapons that we're talking about inside building, brand new, massive infrastructure along the Jordanian border, >> which hopefully is going to stop some of these weapons. We talked about Israel giving the weapons. Well, that's only a small portion of them. A lot of these weapons were smuggled in from all these countries. Every week you see a new news article about weapons trying to be smuggled in from Egypt or Jordan or Lebanon. Like that's a massive smuggling routes of weapons into these Arab Arab communities. >> Ari and I served on the borders a lot of times. Exactly. Protecting those kind of smugglings. And let me tell you, we never had to deal with drones. Drones are very hard to It's an entirely new way of smuggling. And so I I think that the guns that are entering into Judea and Samaria are exactly from the border with Jordan. And Israel can build infrastructure, but I think until today, they still don't have a very effective way of stopping drones. >> Attack helicopters like shooting a drone out of the sky. Like it's crazy that it takes like a a military helicopter to take down a drone that's like this big and it it has like two rifles hanging from the bottom of it. >> One last note that I had. We talked about RPGs in these communities. That's not that's that's illegal. When everybody wants to talk about international illegal according >> we're talking about a police force. >> Yeah. >> Like do police forces carry RPGs around? >> Well, depends on what police they can't not even allowed to carry pocket knives in Europe. I think terrorism unit or something. >> A lot of these police officers, you know, you see around the world of anything. Totally. I a little bad, >> right? You know, but this whole thing is a little bit of a caricature. You know, I say, you know, we named our son for a bunch of reasons I won't go into. His name is Morai Shimchon, Samson. And one of the things I say is because Samson was the last Jew that actually knew how to handle Gaza, right? What what did he do? He had the jawbone of a donkey and he slayed thousands. We think we need these this US foreign aid and all these deals and all these weapons. We only need Western weapons if we want to continue to fight in order to lose. If we want to actually win, we have what we need. And I can't help but to think of the verse in Deuteronomy, right? They provoked me with a non-God. They angered me with their vanities. So I will provoke them with a non-nation. With a foolish people, I will anger them. Right? What is a better example of a non-nation than Palestine? Where is this ancient country of Palestine? Who was the prime minister? What was their currency? Show me their flag. They never existed, but they're this thorn in our sides because we continue to put our hope and our trust in Trump, in America, in international validation rather than just putting our faith in the God of Israel and moving forward. The whole world is waiting for it. They're waiting to see the nation of Israel do that. And the hatred for us is going to grow and grow more and more until we do. >> You know, talking about the non-dation, this is something that very interesting to bring up right now because this was a global scene that just happened was is that the world or Israel recognized Somali land. There was a very interesting uh battle that went down in the UN when this happened. The US took the took the uh position and said wait the whole world you called a special you know meeting in in the UN to talk about this when the whole world just recently recognized this nation that's not a nation Palestine and the UN was completely silent and even pushing this agenda forward. Israel, a sovereign nation, recognizes another sovereignty should be completely normal. And this was the US speech that they gave in in the UN was like, >> by the way, look at this. An entity that's been operating as an independent entity since 1991. >> Yeah. >> Something that the Arabs here have never been able to do. They've never had an independent entity. They've never had a government. They've never even been able to provide their own water and electricity. So, I just thought it was a fascinating um and good of America to say Israel's a sovereign country. America, we're not recognizing Somali land right now, but Israel has every right to. They're a sovereign country. I was like, good for America to the at least the the ambassador in the UN is actually recognized that Israel can make their own decisions. I thought that was named it something Somali land. It sounds like a theme park you would find in Somalia. >> To give you the honest truth, I had no earthly idea where they were talking about when I heard about it. Tell me the truth. It's actually No. No. Okay. I I didn't. No, but there's two important things to see. The the strategic importance of where it is on the Red Sea that they're able now Israel has actually a hand in protecting that entire the critical passage uh for for cargo ships to go through there. That's number one. Number two, did you see the Kabad is setting up a Kabad center in Somali land? >> Could we see that video? Show the video. >> Yeah, let me find it. >> This is fantastic. >> Just put the sign up. Little Stars Somali Daycare. The idea is simple. loving care steeped in Somali culture and every penny goes to building our new Kabad center. Thank you. No, >> I'm pretty sure that that's a spoof. >> Do you think I'm pretty sure? Do you know >> I can't tell if that's laughing at the fraud that was found in Minnesota with the Somalian daycare centers or if that was about setting up a kabad house in Somali land. I'm not sure what that video. >> First of all, it's funny. >> First of all, yeah, it's funny either way. Okay. But what I can say is whether that's a spoof or not, what's not a spoof is the Kabad is going to be setting up centers there >> for sure. And I just like after what happened Israeli flags that are in the streets of Somalia or Somali land already have a center there. You know, after what happened in Bondi Beach, you'd think that, oh, they're going to be licking their wounds. They're No, no, no. The Kabad, for those that don't know, Kabad are like the the most elite unit within the nation of Israel. Listen, I have my issues with Kabad, okay? But I love them because they are they are saying, "We are here to bring light to the world, not just to the Jews in Somali land, but to the entire world. They open up their doors to anyone that wants to come in and have a Shabbat meal, not to convert them and not to with any agenda just to share the light of the Bible, of the Torah, and of the God of Israel with the world. It's really such a way to be a be a light to the Jewish people to make sure the Jewish identity is protected, right?" very nice which is amazing. Absolutely fantastic. >> Well, I don't want to leave the Somali land idea yet because you saw the strategic importance. It's right on the It's right where the the ships are. There's the Houthis. I understand all that strategic but I think something else is happening. >> I think that Israel has yet to find a place where we could actually put the Gazins. And I'm wondering if that's a part of the plan. All of this is unfolding right now and all these like why is Netanyahu recognizing Somali land with all the things that are going on now? It's like an unknown country in an unknown place because they have to figure out a way of removing Amalcch from the land. >> I hate that idea as much as I love you. Wait, but did you hear this? This is really fascinating because Trump he tweet there was this little thing that came out and he said it came up in in while uh the prime minister BB Nao was in in the US with him and uh they talked about something about relocating the Gazins and Trump was like wait let's not talk about this. This is only gonna like it's going to confuse the matters because they were going to speak about trying to, you know, voluntary, you know, leaving the country, whatever they call it, the um with voluntary what are they call immigration? Voluntary immigration. >> Is that really what we want to do to our new allies? >> We want to send them our gazins. No, but the fact of the matter is we have a a beautiful relationship forming and we're going to send them >> send them your worst enemies. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. That doesn't sound so nice. But it does seem like what you're on to, Jeremy, is something they they're talking about internally. That's not they're probably not going to be a big news flash. Oh, the new Somali land accepts somebody under them. >> I think somebody around this table needs a volunteer to go on a vacation in Somali land. >> Find out if this is just a political stunt move for Somali land or if this they actually they said they're going to join the Abraham Accords. I think >> yeah, they join the Abraham Accord. Something's going wrong that is beyond whatever is the strategic importance of the roots to the the boats and the Houthis. Something's going on. And that's my instinct is that once you remove the Gazins from the land of Israel, I think a lot of the jihadist within them will be diffused. And so it could be that that's a strategic >> based on what do you think that the jihadism within them will be diffused based on the World Trade Center bombers? based on every single jihadist attack throughout the world and throughout Europe and that just happened in Bondai Beach. I I don't see the jihadism being diffused. >> Actually, >> we'll get back to the podcast in just a second, but first, this is the last chance to apply for the upcoming all men's trip to Israel, February 16th through March 1st. It's a twoe trip just for men, fathers and sons, young and old. This one's for you. We're pruning the vines in the vineyards of Judah and Mary. It's an a volunteer experience where you get to serve the land and people of Israel and you get to experience Judea and Samaria and Jerusalem in return. Incredible trip. We have an amazing group of men. I believe are actually almost to capacity, but there's a couple of slots left and the last day to apply is January 5th. So, if you're interested in coming, February 16th through March 1st, all men's printing trip. Most of the men that come say this is a trip that absolutely changes their lives. You get away from the busyiness of work and life and you come to the land of Israel and you get to serve and and uh experience the land with other likeminded men. Click the link in the description below. Men's pruning trip. Last day to apply is January 5th. Don't wait. There's just a couple of slots left. Back to the podcast. >> Actually, you're only proving my point. Meaning I'm not saying that the terrorism will end, but the fervor and the commitment and the dedication to killing actually is aroused when they are in the land of Israel. Once >> they're what I said proving your point. I what I said is that they're actually doing these terrorist attacks all over the world still constantly. >> So they've done one terrorist attack in 9/11, but they have that an entire people that's dedicated to annihilating the Jewish people in the land is different. And I'm listen, >> okay, we can agree to disagree because I don't want to rip apart the argument too much, but what what I what I will say is that it it feels like there's a fundamental premise in that. >> Are you saying that we should not relocate the Gazins? >> That's what I'm saying. >> We should not relocate them. >> That's what I'm saying. I'm saying we need to uproot the spiritual concept of the jihad. We need to fight the darkness at its core. Otherwise, okay, we relocate the Gazins. And what about the what, you know, the millions of of uh Arabs in Israel that are actually jihadists? And what about the Palestinian Authority? And what about Syria? And what we're surrounded by the jihad? What about if we go to the core of it and we uproot the the darkness of the jihad and then we bring them to our side? That's what I'm saying. Otherwise, it's just too symptomatic. I think there's an immediate problem and there's a long-term problem, right? >> And I I think you're right that like we have to uproot the evil, but I but like how quickly is that going to happen and what do we do in the in the interim? >> The way the way to uproot it though is so obvious. You have to go in there security, settlement, sovereignty, and now the land is an integrated part of the land of Israel. that would quiet all of the jihad around us once Israel were to respond in a way that we are reclaiming the land of Israel to us. >> That would be a step in the right direction. That would be an excellent start. But here I go being me and saying what is really uprooting it at its core in the roots. It's building the beta mikdash, building the temple. Right? As long as that o over the eanashia, that foundation stone from which the entire world was created, God's light is being channeled through there and it's going through the dome of the rock and it's going through Islam and the jihad. Then that is a beating, pulsating spiritual power to all of the world. When we build the beta mikdash there, then God's light will be channeling through it in the way that will bring healing and light and love and we won't have to start relocating. At a certain point, do Israel has to look around and be like, "We can relocate them and them and them and them and them. The whole world, we're surrounded by 23 Arab states, 57 Muslim states. We're gonna relocate everybody." >> Hey, how about this? >> There's something deeper here. >> What if uh supposedly I just looked it up and there's not really a Jewish community in Somali land supposedly. There's not like uh synagogues or anything like this. I don't know what the I don't know much about it, but I don't I don't believe there's >> soon there will bead centers soon if they not if a bunch of gazins move there. That certainly won't be happening if a bunch of gazins move in, but What's this? What's this? I'm just still wounded from when I was in the army and in Lebanon and then Israel retreated from Lebanon and betrayed the South Lebanese army, leaving them to the predations of the And I was like, is this the message we're sending to our allies that we are going to stab you in the back? That we're going to be pragmatic. We should be when we have an ally, as long as they are walking the line of truth and morality and goodness, we should be willing to fall on the sword for them. We should be the most loyal and to talk about shaking the hands of these sweet wonderful people in Somali land and then sending them our gazins because it serves us well. It may serve them as well. But we're going to send them without their permission. I'm just saying there is perhaps a strategic alliance. Somali land is huge. Gaza is very small. It's much bigger than Gaza. It's much bigger than Israel. It's a huge track of land. And so it's not like Israel's going to force it upon them. Right now, Israel has not found a way to actually remove the Gazins from the land of Israel. No one's found a way. So, >> these tanches of mortgages that brought down America like, "Yes, let's send them to their own." 70% of the the horrific, torturous murdering and burning of babies and murdering of women happened from civilians in Gaza. We're going to send them these civilians in Gaza. I'm sorry. If if you're an ally of the nation of Israel, our first gesture isn't going to be sending you, you know, sadistic, torturing jihadists. That's just not an I guess my question is whether or not they are an ally of the nation of Israel because so far Israel has extended a gesture to them of recognition and they've said they're joining the Abraham Accords, but I I think it remains to be seen. >> Are they flying in Somali land >> because Israel recognized them? Are they still flying them today? That's what I want. That's why I'm saying want to be here. >> I need to go take a vacation there and actually do some interviews on the streets. >> By the way, >> I would rather die a thousand far. >> I'm just never leaving Israel again. >> I'm never leaving Israel again. >> Jeremy, what about you? You going to Somali land? >> I'm thinking about it. Why not? >> I mean, you went to uh you went to UAE, right? >> I was fascinated. >> Talking like Tucker Carlson. He's like, they they have things under control. It's a really nice place. Maybe we should be. >> Well, I they live a lot more by the Torah than we do. That's the truth. As far as they have the Dubai citizens and 80% of the people living in Dubai are non-Dubai citizens. They're there on work permits. They're there as a gytoshave. If we implemented a gytoshave in the land of Israel, a lot more clarity would be um available for everyone. I bet you I'm I'm I'm saying 2026 that there's billions of dollars on the table in gifts to Somali land to take this uh off of Israel and it's and it's the US. You shouldn't feel bad, Ari. It's the US running this show behind the scenes, not Israel. Would you be okay with that? >> Um yeah. >> Well, I just think what Josh is saying is that like Netanyahu and Trump, they're not about to build the beta mdash. They're not about to build the temple on the on the like the temple mount in Jerusalem now. So even if that is going to the heart and the sword and the core of every of it all, they're got to be very practical. They're like, "All right, here's Gaza. We got to figure this thing out." And they're saying, "All right, that might be a real solution." I'm not saying that's even what's happening. I'm just saying like something else is going on that's beyond that's like beyond our own vision. >> I think there's a lot that remains to be seen. This is like a developing story. And when they they join the Abraham Accords, I think that's going to be that's going to be massive. There's also biblical precedence for people leaving Israel. I mean, sorry, people can go on their own free will. People fled King David and lots of kings of Israel. They left. >> I think I just read a report saying that the residents of Gaza now 20% less than they were before the war. So, there are people that are immigrating in their own free will. That's happening. >> I want to talk about the demographic uh story that's in all the news because there's two different stories actually. Uh and I think this is really interesting and then after that we should touch on Iran because obviously >> just one second. I just had this vision of finally >> um standing at the gates of Gaza and Abrahamic like tent and Ari's real heart behind this is that the Gazins could actually be helped and so if you could actually take this dark evil that's going in Ari's like let's fix that Israel in the world can to your Shabbat table repeatedly so I just envision Ari in this Abrahamic kind of role of like no we can't send these people to somebody else what are they going to do How are they going to train these people to love God? >> The uh the director of the Abraham Accords. >> The director of the Abraham Accords. >> I think that would be like train the nations in God ways. That's like our director of the Abraham. >> That's what I'm saying is you need to be >> that guy. I just had that and I thought it was nice. >> Okay. So, there's two different stories in the news about the demographic uh the demographics of Israel in 2025 in the last few years. Uh and I like this quote by Mark Twain. Uh I I'd never heard this. He says there are three kinds of lies. Lies, damned lies, and statistics. So uh this is a really good example of that. Most of the news, including like the conservative outlets in Israel, reporting that there's a decline in Israel's uh growth rate, including birth rate and more Israelis than ever leaving the country. >> So this is bad situation. >> They're saying it's decreasing, right? And they're saying this is really bad. For the first time in a long time, Israel's shrinking, right? Um, so they're saying Israel's growth rate this last year was 1.1%. Uh, and according to the data, let's see, it says that um, I think how many people left Israel in the last year? Uh, there basically so many pe more people than ever left the country in the last year. So this sounds very negative, right? >> But there's another uh, website called the Jewish.com. I think RU found this article. tells a very different story because those are the stats, right? But when you dive into the data, it tells a very different story. The TAB center um talk is the one that came out with the demographic story. But what's actually happening is that if you dive into the different demographics in Israel, the only ones that are shrinking or decreasing is the non-Jewish demographics, the Arabs, the Muslims, the Christian demographic, others. The only one that's actually growing is the Jewish demographic. So the Jewish population is growing in Israel. The non-Jewish population is declining. >> But I think in 2026 we're going to be a see a precipitous rise in Jewish demographic in Israel. >> There's going to be I mean the government is preparing for it. They're preparing rescue flights. >> Can I personal story? Personal story. >> Sorry. Sorry. That's a personal story. There was a guy that I knew that left Israel a couple years ago. Uh think war, you know, it was hard hard to go through this. He went to America, went to Texas of all places. thought it would be better, easier life. He went he he opened a business and then ended up moving that business to Florida because Texas was hard for a Jew. Unfortunately, that's reality. Uh moved to Florida where he could have more success. >> Where was he in Texas? >> I don't even know where. I think it was u uh Houston or something like that. And then he had he moved his business to Florida. Easier to do. >> He came back to Israel just within the last little bit here. Said America's not a place for Jews. I thought that was amazing story in that a lot of these numbers that people that have left Israel in a momentary kind of like hurt of like this is hard. I've been in the reserve duty for a year straight and two years straight and it my family's you know I'm going through a lot of stuff and you know what if I just didn't live here life would be easy and then they go to America and find out no the war is there too and it's not easy not easy to have a business in America right now either and then this is a really awesome stat is all his buddies back in Israel are being much more successful the GDP in Israel is like rocketing while America's like >> coming back to the Holy Land much holier. That's the truth. I see this Jeremy and I were in the army. Witness the same for many, many years. And there's all these guys. When I'm done with the army, I'm going to go to America, make a bunch of money, and make and they're not religious guys. They go to America. And now that they're disconnected from Israel, they need some sort of connection to their fellow Israelites. So, they go to Kabad and then they actually become religious and then they come back to Israel when they find out that it's empty golden handcuffs there. And they if they're able to make it back, they do. And now they're religious. And there was some reason they had to go on that journey. And this is all part of the journey that's playing out. But there's also an absurdity. There's an absurdity to the idea of aliyah. And I thought we'd just throw in this little comedy bit here that explains I hope that the non-Jew would be able to understand it because I wonder how much of it is just personal like you laugh because you're in Israel. But >> I laughed very hard and thought it was hilarious, but I I am quite in a Jewish context here. >> So play it here. >> You can't convince people to do aliyah to Israel. You know why? Who did aliyah? Please, who did aliyah? You know, can you think I can convince you to come to a place that LISTEN TWO WEEKS AGO WE HAD BYRON THE STORM storm storm? It was raining. People text me on my Instagram, Uncle Shah, should we come to the show because there's a storm out there. We afraid of the storm. But when we had 300 missiles from Iran ballistics, PEOPLE WROTE ME ON INSTAGRAM DEBALAK TO CANCEL THE SHOW. You can't explain this country TO PEOPLE THAT DOING YOU KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW THEY want to give 10,000 shekelers fine to somebody that going to text while driving. Did you hear about that? >> 10,000 shekelers if you drive and you touch your phone because it's dangerous to drive and touch your phone. But to drive with kanukia on the roof of your car, light the kanukia with fire. You can drive. Nobody cares. NOBODY CARES. EVEN THE police officer and you see every 10. So, I think just to finish the uh the demographics, >> yeah, hopefully people that you know, people outside Israel, hopefully they kind of got that humor there. And uh we'll link it down below. You can watch the video. It it helps to actually see it as well. If you're listening on podcast platforms, finish the the demographic uh report is that, you know, the news is saying Israel's shrinking. They're their birth rates down, alias down, more people than ever are leaving Israel. End of the story. Jewish birth rates are holding steady or growing. Uh Jewish demographic is growing. Aliyah may have been down a little bit but holding steady. And there's another really interesting uh stat is that more people than ever left Israel last year. There's a simple ex explanation. I'm I'm reading this from the Jewish edition article. Um it then it says Ukrainian le refugees who fled the Ukrainian war in 2022 who otherwise would not have been able to immigrate to the Jewish state. Israel, remember Israel took in a bunch of Ukrainian refugees. They got Israeli passports. They got packages of benefits. Guess what? A whole bunch of them took off for the US and Canada. >> Uh layover. >> So this could also be playing into this factor is it's actually non-Israelis and non-Jews leaving the country as well. So, and also I just want to mention too, I think you referenced it, Israel's GDP up 25%. If anybody invested in the Israeli stock market in the last couple of years, how is there any other nation in the world that goes through two years of war and massive terrorist attacks, uh, enemies on like five fronts and their economy is like booming and growing and the stock market is through the roof. Like, is there any other example of that anywhere? I just read that the Gaza border communities now have more residents than they had before October 7th. >> Did you really? >> Yeah. What? I read that too. >> Israel just keeps on coming back stronger. The GDP, the birth rate, the stock market, even the Gaza envelope is stronger now than it was before October 7th. >> Yeah. And that's why Hamas, you know, the there's a lot of Jewish organizations that are called Kiru, which means to bring close, that are seeking to reconnect Jews that are secular, that are just connected to their Jewish heritage. There's no organization that's been nearly as successful in doing that as Hamas. Kamas has been more successful than all of them put together. Here's a video of Moxim, who was a totally disconnected, secular Russian Ole because a lot of these Russian Jews have had generations of the Soviet brainwashing of godlessness. They come to Israel and they have that with them. And while he was captive in Gaza, he had such a spiritual revolution that here here he is actually being circumcised and naming himself. Go ahead. Israel Salman Zelic Ben >> Ari for those who don't speak Eber and people listening can you just explain what was happening there? >> Yes. So just clarification, I did not send Wanda Aaron a video of this young man 30 years old actually being circumcised. This is the um traditional ritual post circumcision where he's now given a Jewish name because as you know the law of return was such where Israel determined who could return come to Israel as a Jew based on who Hitler defined as a Jew. So, which he said was also patrineal descent and not just matrinal descent as Jewish law uh would would dictate. So, that means that there's a lot of non-Jewish Russians that came in that have a Jewish father. So, that that was clearly Moxim. So, he wasn't even circumcised. He became circumcised and he named himself Zalman Zelig. >> Zalenzel. >> I mean, >> the law of return based on Hitler is if you have one Jewish grandparent, if you had one quarter Jewish blood in you >> on either side, >> right? >> On either side. So, so, but here we see like the sparks of light, that spark of light deep in the heart of Moxim was kindled and that little flame was turned into a flame torch by Hamas, right? So, clearly God is orchestrating something here, something of historic and prophetic significance. >> Well, I think what people need to pay attention if that's true, the Jewish people really are God's chauffear. Like what's happening to the Jews in Bondi Beach? What's happening to the Jews inside the land of Israel is a chauffeur blast for people around the world because when evil arises in the world, it attacks the Jew first. And it's just a matter of time until it reaches Bondi Beach. It's just a matter of time until it reaches Pearl Harbor, New York City. >> Right now, exactly. New York City, their mayor was just sworn in swearing on the Quran. And so if they don't think that they're making their own bed, it's like >> staff or something like that is the lawyer who defended al-Qaeda after 911, I believe. >> Can I make a request? >> Luke, would you mind bringing us to the Iran subject cuz I was just about time on the but we did promise everybody we're going to talk about this. And like I said, there might be stuff out by the time you're watching this show that's it's developed even more. I saw before we started the protests. There's been a an Iranian young man killed in the protest. So far, uh, as we're recording, Justin sent a video of a Molotov cocktail catching a Revolutionary Guard policeman on fire. >> Uh, maybe we'll Oh, wow. >> Yeah, that might get us demonetized if we show that, but um, we'll leave that up to the editors. But, yeah, I mean, Ari, I think you you you had some commentary on this. like uh Iran running out of water. Their currency is now like$ 1.4 million to1 US something like that. Protests take rocking the street started in the merchant uh quarter from what I hear which some government saying something about this from the the last time >> that's right >> Iran erupted in protests. >> Yeah. the merchants are actually a part of it which is the exact same um unfolding that happened in the last uh big coup that happened where the where the where the this current >> but while all this going on Iran is still reportedly trying to rebuild their ballistic missile program still trying to rebuild their nuclear program still threatening US and Israel with an attack >> like what like what will it take for the people of Iran to overthrow their >> Okay, so I'm not a a prophet here. I'm just a chicken farmer in Judea. And what I'm going to share is just one p perspective, one dimension of what I see happening here. Because keep in mind when you try to look at things with a humble heart, say God, please help us understand what you are orchestrating here. How is this bringing about your will? How is this bringing about redemption? Then and he blesses you maybe with an insight. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. But the way I see this is there's a perfect storm brewing in Iran right now. from the water to the economics to the political on every single front. And when you're an authoritarian jihadist apocalyptic regime like that, that it's not like they're still pursuing. They're doubling, tripling down on pursuing this because their only way out of maintaining their authority there and not being overthrown is to launch an allout war, particularly against Israel. And so what is that going to cause? It's going to cause Israel to need to do a preemptive attack. Keep in mind that Russia has in the past 48 hours, they just sent their fourth cargo plane. What is on these cargo planes from Russia that's a nuclear power that's going to Iran. >> I'm sure it's just food and water bottles. >> I'm I'm sure that it is. Right. But so what's happening is so now Russia's getting involved. And I I I continue to insist that the greatest mistake we made probably in the past 80 years was when Trump said turn around and don't finish off the Ayatollah because now Russia and China, they're ready. They saw what's going to happen. and we don't have that element of surprise that we had. And so what's going I believe is going to happen is Israel is going to need to launch some sort of preemptive attack. They're going to be ready. It's going to cause serious global, not just regional, but global destabilization. There's going to be supermarket shelves that are empty throughout the world, particularly in America. And when you already see the level of out of the closet blatant Jew hatred that is being on fermented on both sides now when things are okay in America. That's right. When Israel launches a preemptive attack against Iran that causes this whole thing, there's going to be tremendous Jew hatred and persecution and attacks and all of this is leading to the in gathering of the exiles that have been prophesized throughout. I mean, we could go on and on. Um just in Judah book of Deuteronomy, Hashem your God will return your captivity and have compassion on you and he will gather you from all the nations. If your disperse will be at the end of the heavens, from there Hashem your God will gather you in. Hashem your God will bring you back to the land which your forefathers possessed and you shall possess it again and again and again throughout the entire This is just the chapter 30 in Deuteronomy, right? You know, and this is throughout the is is it just going to stop in America? No, it's going to continue. And so I see all of this happening in order to in gather the exiles. And why does that need to happen? It needs to happen because when the nation of Israel is back in the land of Israel, for reasons we can't necessarily fully grasp and understand, there's a certain shift to the fabric of of the world, the spiritual reality of the world. And this is a necessary uh pretext for not pretext but um building block upon which the redemption will unfold and the temple. I know this sounds very apocalyptic, but it's also very intuitively true. And this is not violence. This is to bring light and peace and love to all of humanity. That's what this really needs about. Not not in my opinion relocating gazins to Somali lands. >> All I was saying is that to relocate them is to reclaim the land of Israel. The in gathering of the exiles is the next process. Meaning God promised the land of Israel to the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So as long as the Jews are scattered around the world and not inheriting that promise, there's something that's fundamentally flawed. It's a desecration of God's name, it's emptying from the world and us being in gathered to the land and reclaiming the land is the living testimony. >> But Jeremy, we have Syria right next door. Why are we relocating them to Somali land, our allies, send them to Syria? >> I'm not saying that we're doing that or that we should do that. I was saying maybe that's what Trump and Netanyahu's meeting was all about. >> People in the comments say that I I bully you too much. You should know Jeremy is my commander in the army. He's my best friend of 25 years. And I would literally take a bullet for him, even if it was from his own gun. Sometimes, >> you know, something I saw that was actually fascinating within the Iranian uh discussion here as we wrap up is is that the the protests that are going on in the streets, they're actually literally yelling 2026 is going to be a year of blood in the streets. That's what the protests are yelling. You got to remember, these are not westernminded folks. These are people that know what it takes to to flip a regime and they're ready to pay for it. That's why I think we're actually on to something here in Iran that is going to be a little more like Ari just said, we're talking about something a little more intense than just another little skirmish. This has um Russian, Chinese, like this is a much bigger thing. These guys are initiating something here that the world is going to actually say that Israel is initiating and it's going to come back on Israel. No matter what the will of the people of Iran are, anything that goes against this global initiatives is going to come back on Israel. And I I I 100% agree with what Ari's just saying here and what those are yelling in the streets in Iran right now. >> Yeah. >> 2026, we're going to see some pretty serious things. Please God, not in Israel, but globally. >> I mean, I'm tormented by this. This is probably the primary element of torment in my life is that I'm seeing this, you know, horsedrawn carriage with my family that I love heading towards the edge of a cliff and I'm screaming, "No, stop, stop." And they're just eating and drinking as they're headed towards the edge of a cliff. That's what I see happening to diaspora jewelry. And I'm It is so painful to be able to see it. You know, the prophet Jeremiah, not if anyone's a prophet Jeremiah, it's Jeremiah here. But you know the book of lamentations of Aha was written before the whole tragedy happened. Imagine walking around as Jeremiah with this burning heaviness in your heart knowing what is to come and not being able to do anything about it. And so I think we need to really blow the chauffar. Call the nation of Israel back home. This is what I'm saying to them. I'm like you don't need to take my word for it. All I'm saying to do sell your house now. Put it on the market now. Buy a place in Israel with that money and then rent. You can rent in Boston or New York or Miami or LA. You could rent there. But when you're not so heavily tethered there with everything you have, perhaps you will be able to have more sober, dispassionate, clear thinking when the time comes because who knows how long you're going to really have to pick up and move before the gates shut, especially if you're in New York. >> Scary, scary, scary. But, uh, you know, we like to end the show on positive good things. And um Jeremy, I don't know if you got a Torah portion nugget for us today, but while you're thinking about that, you might hear the rain on the roof. January 1st, 2026. And and uh you guys can correct me if you have different opinion, but this is the most rain Israel has gotten by this point early on in the winter in a very long time. Thank God. And it's raining as we record right now. I think Israel's had a record amount of rain this year, which is always a huge blessing because you probably know Israel does not get rain during the summer and a large part of the spring and fall. So, you know, one more thing to add the nations. We've talked about a lot of hard things before Jeremy gets in with the the final >> very positive and that is after the Bondai Beach thing happened, there was a there was a non-Jewish family that looked over into the Jewish family's yard and because of the persecutions, they had taken their they had like a monora Hanekia, not just for Hanukkah. They they left it in their yard all >> electric and the lights were shining. >> You can play the clip. >> Christian family. I never even saw this clip. It's an actual story. I mean, I played it on the land of Israel fellowship. Such an amazing story where they this family looks across the yard and sees that the Jewish family had taken that bonora out fear for their lives. Their children were scared to death being like mom and dad you can't have this anymore. This Christian family went back went over to they were so hurt by the fact that the Jewish >> the daughter the Christian daughter the little girl wept and went to the family and said please put your monora back in your yard. I think for all of those around the world, as we've talked about a lot of heavy concepts, the non-Jewish world, be that girl that went to the neighbors and said, "Please keep your Jewish light burning. Please don't put it out. Be Jewish. Be strong Jews. Encourage the land of Israel. Encourage the Jewish people." Uh, and I think that's that's the role of the nations for this moment right now. And I want to encourage everybody in these hard times, follow that example. >> Yeah. Well, so I want to say like what is going to bring the nations and the people of Israel together? And so we're about to end the book of Genesis and about to start the book of Exodus. Now the book of Exodus, we receive the Torah. In the book of Genesis, there is no law. There is no real formal ten commandments that are given. And why does the Torah begin then with the stories of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and Joseph and the brothers and not start with the law? If the book of law, then let's start with the law. And the reason is that the foundation had to be built on the spirit of the Torah. If there was a law that was imposed first, then the law would override the spirit. The foundation of the Torah then is what the spirit was calling the Torah to be. And so what we're calling and what we're hopefully reflecting to the world here is that we're connecting to the same spirit. We are connecting to the spirit of the Bible. And if we can somehow call the righteous among the nations to connect to the spirit of what the book of Genesis calls us to be, it's to be really a brotherhood of man under the fatherhood of God. And so let 2026 be that year for us. Amen. >> All right, guys. Well, as we go into 2026, don't worry, this show's not going away.
