- And a sworn enemy of the united states.
- 00:00:37.227 --> 00:00:40.263
- And folks, it doesn't look like iran's ayatollahs
- 00:00:40.263 --> 00:00:43.533
- Are getting up off the mat any time soon.
- 00:00:43.533 --> 00:00:46.870
- Israel's operation rising lion has been a stunning success
- 00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:50.940
- That seen dozens of top iranian military commanders
- 00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:54.377
- And nuclear scientists taken out at the same time,
- 00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:57.947
- At least half of iran's ballistic missile
- 00:00:57.947 --> 00:01:00.283
- Launchers have been destroyed, and most of iran's nuclear

- Weapons sites have been battered by the israeli air force.
- 00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:07.790
- Iran's supreme leader is now hiding in a bunker,
- 00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:10.860
- And many of his closest advisers are dead
- 00:01:10.860 --> 00:01:13.830
- And gone, eliminated by the idf.
- 00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:16.933
- The main goal now for israel is to destroy the fordo
- 00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:20.937
- Nuclear reactor.
- 00:01:20.937 --> 00:01:22.238
- Fordo is dug into the side of a mountain and accessible
- 00:01:22.238 --> 00:01:25.975
- Only by a series of tunnels.
- 00:01:25.975 --> 00:01:28.311
- It is a very hard target that seems tailor made
- 00:01:28.311 --> 00:01:31.881
- For a 30,000 pound american bunker buster bomb.
- 00:01:31.881 --> 00:01:36.419
- Now, president trump
- 00:01:36.419 --> 00:01:37.487
- Has been considering doing exactly that, sending
- 00:01:37.487 --> 00:01:40.290
- American bombers to work alongside the israeli air force
- 00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:44.160
- To help destroy fordo once and for all.
- 00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:47.597
- On thursday,
- 00:01:47.597 --> 00:01:48.631
- The white house announced that the president
- 00:01:48.631 --> 00:01:50.200
- Will make his final decision on u.s.
- 00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.735
- Involvement within the next two weeks.
- 00:01:52.735 --> 00:01:55.672
- In the meantime, consider this
- 00:01:55.672 --> 00:01:58.374
- There is now a golden opportunity
- 00:01:58.374 --> 00:02:00.577
- Before president trump
- 00:02:00.577 --> 00:02:02.078
- To deal a fatal blow to iran's nuclear ambitions
- 00:02:02.078 --> 00:02:06.015
- And possibly even topple a regime that has practically
- 00:02:06.015 --> 00:02:09.619
- Copyrighted the phrase death to america, a regime
- 00:02:09.619 --> 00:02:13.523
- That has loads of american blood on its hands.
- 00:02:13.523 --> 00:02:16.960
- Look no further than the 1983 marine barracks bombing
- 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:20.496
- In beirut and iran's deadly targeting of u.s.
- 00:02:20.496 --> 00:02:23.766
- Troops in iraq.
- 00:02:23.766 --> 00:02:25.201
- Bottom line, i believe president trump
- 00:02:25.201 --> 00:02:28.037
- Is in office for such a time as this.
- 00:02:28.037 --> 00:02:31.941
- So folks, pray for him to have wisdom, discernment, and clarity
- 00:02:31.941 --> 00:02:36.579
- As he makes a decision that could help
- 00:02:36.579 --> 00:02:38.348

- Doctor saad, it is great to see you.
- 00:10:14.606 --> 00:10:16.975
- We love everything you're doing on x across social media.
- 00:10:16.975 --> 00:10:19.678
- You're getting the truth out there.
- 00:10:19.678 --> 00:10:21.680
- Let's start doctor saad, with the truth about israel and iran.
- 00:10:21.680 --> 00:10:25.684
- Israel obviously, in the first few days
- 00:10:25.684 --> 00:10:27.286
- Of this campaign, some stunning successes.
- 00:10:27.286 --> 00:10:29.688
- What's your take been so far on the response?
- 00:10:29.688 --> 00:10:33.859
- Not only in the middle east but in the west to israel?
- 00:10:33.859 --> 00:10:37.463
- Really, in my opinion, fighting the good fight for all of us?
- 00:10:37.463 --> 00:10:41.467
- Yeah.
- 00:10:41.700 --> 00:10:42.401
- I first thank you for having me.
- 00:10:42.401 --> 00:10:43.402
- It's great to be with you.
- 00:10:43.402 --> 00:10:45.604
- I'm amazed that some people in the west
- 00:10:45.604 --> 00:10:48.173
- Don't appreciate the fact that this is not just a battle
- 00:10:48.173 --> 00:10:51.543
- Between israel and iran, or between jews and shia muslims,
- 00:10:51.543 --> 00:10:57.082
- But it's a battle between two models of civilization.
- 00:10:57.082 --> 00:11:00.953
- As you said, there's the west,
- 00:11:00.953 --> 00:11:03.622
- Of which i should certainly be able to speak about,
- 00:11:03.622 --> 00:11:06.191
- Because i hail from a world that doesn't have enshrined
- 00:11:06.191 --> 00:11:10.095
- Western values. right.
- 00:11:10.095 --> 00:11:11.029
- We escape the middle east.
- 00:11:11.029 --> 00:11:12.197
- So some of the biggest defenders of the western tradition
- 00:11:12.197 --> 00:11:15.234
- Are exactly immigrants, such as myself,
- 00:11:15.234 --> 00:11:17.469
- Because we know what's out there,
- 00:11:17.469 --> 00:11:19.104
- And we don't want the western folks to take these values,
- 00:11:19.104 --> 00:11:23.308
- For granted.
- 00:11:23.308 --> 00:11:24.276
- And so the battle between israel and iran,
- 00:11:24.276 --> 00:11:27.246
- Everybody should be on the side of israel
- 00:11:27.246 --> 00:11:29.615
- If they believe that western values are worth defending.
- 00:11:29.615 --> 00:11:32.518
- Yeah.
- 00:11:32.518 --> 00:11:33.519
- To me, there's really no gray areas here.
- 00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.420
- It's pretty black and white.
- 00:11:35.420 --> 00:11:36.922
- You have a genocidal terror regime,
- 00:11:36.922 --> 00:11:39.124
- And you have israel the size
- 00:11:39.124 --> 00:11:40.759
- Of the state of new jersey, by the way,
- 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:42.761
- Fighting the good fight for all of us,
- 00:11:42.761 --> 00:11:44.496
- A bastion of democracy and human rights.
- 00:11:44.496 --> 00:11:47.666
- Why do you think so many, again, including right here
- 00:11:47.666 --> 00:11:51.003
- In the free west, are against israel
- 00:11:51.003 --> 00:11:54.773
- And anti-semitism is roaring like it hasn't in decades.
- 00:11:54.773 --> 00:11:58.911
- You know, when i escaped.
- 00:11:59.478 --> 00:12:01.113
- So i lived in lebanon.
- 00:12:01.113 --> 00:12:02.381
- I was born and raised in lebanon.
- 00:12:02.381 --> 00:12:03.715
- I lived there till the age of 11.
- 00:12:03.715 --> 00:12:05.350
- And in the parasitic line in the first chapter,
- 00:12:05.350 --> 00:12:08.053
- I recount many horror stories of the endemic
- 00:12:08.053 --> 00:12:11.056
- Jewish hatred that you found even in so-called
- 00:12:11.056 --> 00:12:14.193
- Progressive, tolerant and modern lebanon at the time.
- 00:12:14.193 --> 00:12:17.629
- But i was completely surprised and taken aback
- 00:12:17.629 --> 00:12:21.166
- When i saw the level of jew hatred
- 00:12:21.166 --> 00:12:24.570
- That we now see in the west, especially since october 7th.
- 00:12:24.570 --> 00:12:27.973
- If i showed you in a given day
- 00:12:27.973 --> 00:12:30.075
- The number of messages
- 00:12:30.075 --> 00:12:31.577
- That i receive that would make adolf hitler
- 00:12:31.577 --> 00:12:35.514
- Squirm in and, you know, feeling uncomfortable, adolf hitler
- 00:12:35.514 --> 00:12:39.184
- Would probably say to the people who send me messages,
- 00:12:39.184 --> 00:12:41.753
- Hey guys, even by my jew hating standards,
- 00:12:41.753 --> 00:12:44.623
- You're going too much at it.
- 00:12:44.623 --> 00:12:45.924
- So unfortunately, the reality is that outlook,
- 00:12:45.924 --> 00:12:49.027
- All bigotry are horrible.
- 00:12:49.027 --> 00:12:50.329
- But there is something unique about jew hatred.
- 00:12:50.329 --> 00:12:52.965
- It is a stain on the, you know, the dignity of the human heart.
- 00:12:52.965 --> 00:12:57.870
- And regrettably, this is what we're seeing.
- 00:12:57.870 --> 00:12:59.738
- All of these folks
- 00:12:59.738 --> 00:13:01.473
- Would rather see a maniacal, genocidal regime
- 00:13:01.473 --> 00:13:05.143
- That completely erodes all individual
- 00:13:05.143 --> 00:13:07.412
- Rights when, because at least
- 00:13:07.412 --> 00:13:09.181
- They'd be winning against the diabolical jews.
- 00:13:09.181 --> 00:13:11.483
- It's grotesque.
- 00:13:11.483 --> 00:13:12.451
- It truly is.
- 00:13:12.451 --> 00:13:13.318
- And it is the world's oldest hatred.
- 00:13:13.318 --> 00:13:15.120
- Anti-semitism, irrational, insane, and quite evil.
- 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.457
- Speaking of hitler,
- 00:13:18.457 --> 00:13:19.858
- I see the iranian regime as a modern day nazi like death cult.
- 00:13:19.858 --> 00:13:24.496
- If the western world can't unite against that,
- 00:13:24.496 --> 00:13:26.798
- What can we unite against?
- 00:13:26.798 --> 00:13:28.333
- And israel again fighting the good fight?
- 00:13:28.333 --> 00:13:30.102
- We should be thanking israel for doing the dirty work
- 00:13:30.102 --> 00:13:33.205
- And the heavy lift for western civilization.
- 00:13:33.205 --> 00:13:35.641
- Speaking of which,
- 00:13:35.641 --> 00:13:36.942
- You're runaway bestseller the parasitic mind folks.
- 00:13:36.942 --> 00:13:39.811
- You can pick it up amazon.com wherever books are sold, break
- 00:13:39.811 --> 00:13:43.148
- That down more for us, doctor saad
- 00:13:43.148 --> 00:13:44.950
- And how the parasitic mind first of all, what it is
- 00:13:44.950 --> 00:13:48.453
- And how that's a factor in this suicidal urge
- 00:13:48.453 --> 00:13:53.091
- That many in the west seem to have.
- 00:13:53.091 --> 00:13:55.894
- Right?
- 00:13:56.094 --> 00:13:56.962
- So i faced two great wars in my life.
- 00:13:56.962 --> 00:13:59.364
- The first great war was the lebanese civil war.
- 00:13:59.364 --> 00:14:02.634
- This is where i grew up, the second great war
- 00:14:02.634 --> 00:14:05.037
- That i faced as the war on reason, logic, science,
- 00:14:05.037 --> 00:14:09.274
- Common sense, reality that i have witnessed over
- 00:14:09.274 --> 00:14:12.477
- The past 31 years as a as a university professor.
- 00:14:12.477 --> 00:14:15.547
- And so i was
- 00:14:15.881 --> 00:14:17.015
- Looking for a framework to help me understand how people
- 00:14:17.015 --> 00:14:20.385
- In the 21st century could nod quietly and say,
- 00:14:20.385 --> 00:14:23.822
- Yeah, yeah, of course men can menstruate.
- 00:14:23.822 --> 00:14:25.891
- Yes, yes, of course, there are no innate
- 00:14:25.891 --> 00:14:27.793
- Biological differences between sex differences.
- 00:14:27.793 --> 00:14:30.329
- And so in order to find the right framework,
- 00:14:30.329 --> 00:14:32.998
- I turn to the field of neuro parasitology.
- 00:14:32.998 --> 00:14:35.701
- I know it's a mouthful, so let me break it down
- 00:14:35.701 --> 00:14:37.936
- Very quickly.
- 00:14:37.936 --> 00:14:38.837
- If you take, for example, of wood
- 00:14:38.837 --> 00:14:40.238
- Cricket and actual wood cricket, it abhors water.
- 00:14:40.238 --> 00:14:44.209
- It wants nothing to do with water.
- 00:14:44.209 --> 00:14:46.044
- But when it is parasitized by a brain worm,
- 00:14:46.044 --> 00:14:48.981
- It's called the hair warm.
- 00:14:48.981 --> 00:14:50.349
- The hair worm needs the wood cricket to jump into water
- 00:14:50.349 --> 00:14:54.353
- In order for it to complete its reproductive cycle.
- 00:14:54.353 --> 00:14:57.289
- So once that wood cricket is regrettably parasitized,
- 00:14:57.289 --> 00:15:00.759
- It is willing to jump and commit suicide, and the service
- 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.596
- Of the brain parasite that has zombified it.
- 00:15:04.596 --> 00:15:07.299
- And so that was my eureka moment.
- 00:15:07.299 --> 00:15:09.201
- So i would now take that framework and argue
- 00:15:09.201 --> 00:15:12.437
- That human beings could be parasite ties by idea
- 00:15:12.437 --> 00:15:15.674
- Pathogens, post-modernism, cultural relativism,
- 00:15:15.674 --> 00:15:19.111
- Social constructivism, radical feminism.
- 00:15:19.111 --> 00:15:22.047
- Each of these brain parasites erodes our edifices of reason.
- 00:15:22.047 --> 00:15:27.419
- And so what i do in the book is i first describe where
- 00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:31.223
- Each of these brain parasites come from.
- 00:15:31.223 --> 00:15:33.358
- They all come from university ecosystem.
- 00:15:33.358 --> 00:15:35.627
- And then towards the end of the book,
- 00:15:35.627 --> 00:15:37.095
- I offer a mind vaccine against that imbecility.
- 00:15:37.095 --> 00:15:40.832
- Yeah, and it is much needed.
- 00:15:40.832 --> 00:15:42.534
- And gas saad,
- 00:15:42.534 --> 00:15:43.935
- You'll be right back with us after the break.
- 00:15:43.935 --> 00:15:45.504
- I want to talk more about your experiences
- 00:15:45.504 --> 00:15:47.672
- On college campuses in ultra left canada, no less.
- 00:15:47.672 --> 00:15:51.543
- We'll talk more about that after the break.
- 00:15:51.543 --> 00:15:53.378
- Author of the parasitic mind
- 00:15:53.378 --> 00:15:54.946
- And the upcoming suicidal empathy, doctor gad saad.
- 00:15:54.946 --> 00:15:59.117
- That's next. don't move.
- 00:15:59.117 --> 00:16:01.011
- That's next. don't move.
- 00:16:01.011 --> 00:16:04.591
- Welcome back to stakelbeck
- 00:16:05.159 --> 00:16:06.193
- Tonight we're talking to doctor gad
- 00:16:06.193 --> 00:16:07.528
- Saad, author of the parasitic mind
- 00:16:07.528 --> 00:16:09.463
- And the upcoming suicidal empathy.
- 00:16:09.463 --> 00:16:12.132
- Doctor saad, when i think of incubators and kind of test labs
- 00:16:12.132 --> 00:16:15.736
- For left wing madness, i think of california.
- 00:16:15.736 --> 00:16:18.572
- I think of the uk, and sadly, i think of canada.
- 00:16:18.572 --> 00:16:21.842
- Tell us about some of your experiences
- 00:16:21.842 --> 00:16:24.244
- First hand teaching in canada,
- 00:16:24.244 --> 00:16:27.781
- Right. it hasn't been easy.
- 00:16:28.382 --> 00:16:30.751
- And this is precisely why i have now taken a two year
- 00:16:30.751 --> 00:16:33.821
- Leave of absence from my home university in montreal.
- 00:16:33.821 --> 00:16:37.124
- And i'm currently at a university in michigan,
- 00:16:37.124 --> 00:16:39.693
- Northwood university, because, as you said,
- 00:16:39.693 --> 00:16:41.995
- It is becoming untenable for a wide range of reasons.
- 00:16:41.995 --> 00:16:45.099
- Let me begin with sort of the parasitic thing.
- 00:16:45.099 --> 00:16:48.001
- My home university, concordia university,
- 00:16:48.001 --> 00:16:51.472
- And its five year strategic plan.
- 00:16:51.472 --> 00:16:54.641
- The first item on the five year strategic plan
- 00:16:54.641 --> 00:16:57.845
- Is to indigenization and decolonize
- 00:16:57.845 --> 00:17:01.115
- The entire curriculum, meaning you could be teaching,
- 00:17:01.115 --> 00:17:05.319
- Differential equations in the mathematics
- 00:17:05.319 --> 00:17:07.354
- Department or neuroscience or mechanical engineering,
- 00:17:07.354 --> 00:17:10.557
- Or i teach evolutionary psychology
- 00:17:10.557 --> 00:17:12.593
- And psychology of decision making.
- 00:17:12.593 --> 00:17:14.328
- I need to find the way to indigenous and those,
- 00:17:14.328 --> 00:17:18.732
- Fields of study to decolonize those fields of study,
- 00:17:18.732 --> 00:17:22.002
- Which, of course, i'm unwilling to do.
- 00:17:22.002 --> 00:17:23.904
- Hence, i'm going to leave of absence
- 00:17:23.904 --> 00:17:25.305
- That, you know, by the way, that our university
- 00:17:25.305 --> 00:17:27.841
- Has a taxpayer funded project to decolonize light
- 00:17:27.841 --> 00:17:33.280
- Because the nobel prize winning physicist who studied light,
- 00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:37.317
- Regrettably, they suffered from a very, very fatal disease.
- 00:17:37.317 --> 00:17:40.854
- They were white.
- 00:17:40.854 --> 00:17:41.955
- And so now we need mentors of color,
- 00:17:41.955 --> 00:17:44.725
- Indigenous people to explain to us the physics of light.
- 00:17:44.725 --> 00:17:48.328
- So this is what's happening in canada.
- 00:17:48.328 --> 00:17:51.031
- One other additional issue.
- 00:17:51.031 --> 00:17:53.834
- I happen to be jewish.
- 00:17:53.834 --> 00:17:55.435
- I happen to be a, rather,
- 00:17:55.435 --> 00:17:58.105
- Vociferous speaker in defending certain ideals.
- 00:17:59.072 --> 00:18:02.242
- And that doesn't mesh too
- 00:18:02.242 --> 00:18:03.911
- Well at concordia university, which is completely islam
- 00:18:03.911 --> 00:18:07.648
- Ized by a lot of crazy sort of, global intifada types.
- 00:18:07.648 --> 00:18:11.485
- So because of these two reasons, i needed to take a break.
- 00:18:11.485 --> 00:18:14.254
- Yeah.
- 00:18:14.254 --> 00:18:15.489
- And you've talked about that frequently on your x account.
- 00:18:15.489 --> 00:18:16.723
- Again, doctor saad has over 1 million followers on x folks,
- 00:18:16.723 --> 00:18:20.227
- And that's for a reason, because he's telling it like it is.
- 00:18:20.227 --> 00:18:23.030
- But you have shown, look, the streets of montreal,
- 00:18:23.030 --> 00:18:25.332
- I mean, the islamization is really stunning.
- 00:18:25.332 --> 00:18:27.634
- I think a lot of americans watching right.
- 00:18:27.634 --> 00:18:29.102
- Might right now might say,
- 00:18:29.102 --> 00:18:30.604
- Well, it's canada's the great white north. and yet
- 00:18:30.604 --> 00:18:33.273
- There is a serious radical islamic problem in canada.
- 00:18:33.273 --> 00:18:36.610
- Doctor saad,
- 00:18:36.944 --> 00:18:38.178
- How is that sort of a cautionary tale for the united states?
- 00:18:38.178 --> 00:18:42.683
- Demography is destiny.
- 00:18:43.150 --> 00:18:44.851
- Nothing could be clearer, meaning that cultures
- 00:18:44.851 --> 00:18:48.422
- Carry certain values at times.
- 00:18:48.422 --> 00:18:51.458
- Those values between two cultures
- 00:18:51.458 --> 00:18:53.393
- Perfectly mesh well, and at times
- 00:18:53.393 --> 00:18:55.162
- They're perfectly antithetical to each other.
- 00:18:55.162 --> 00:18:57.397
- So the idea that you could take some, you know, a hundred
- 00:18:57.397 --> 00:19:00.434
- Thousand people that come from yemen or pakistan or waziristan
- 00:19:00.434 --> 00:19:04.504
- And seamlessly integrate them within, a host society
- 00:19:04.504 --> 00:19:08.909
- Where the foundational values may be very different from
- 00:19:08.909 --> 00:19:11.912
- The ones that the immigrants
- 00:19:11.912 --> 00:19:13.080
- Are bringing in, where, according to pew survey studies,
- 00:19:13.080 --> 00:19:17.150
- 95 to 99% of the people polled
- 00:19:17.150 --> 00:19:20.687
- Have endemic jew hatred as a as their foundational values.
- 00:19:20.687 --> 00:19:25.525
- Is it
- 00:19:25.525 --> 00:19:26.193
- Any surprise that you're going
- 00:19:26.193 --> 00:19:27.194
- To have an increase in jew hatred in canada?
- 00:19:27.194 --> 00:19:29.696
- Just to give you a quick example, if i may.
- 00:19:29.696 --> 00:19:31.798
- Yesterday i gave a talk at a jewish venue in montreal.
- 00:19:31.798 --> 00:19:36.670
- One of my friends
- 00:19:36.670 --> 00:19:37.871
- Whom i had invited texted me and said he had never seen
- 00:19:37.871 --> 00:19:41.541
- This level of security anywhere he'd ever been in the world.
- 00:19:41.541 --> 00:19:46.146
- You need that much police security, because a professor
- 00:19:46.146 --> 00:19:49.549
- Is coming to speak
- 00:19:49.549 --> 00:19:50.884
- About freedom of inquiry and freedom of speech.
- 00:19:50.884 --> 00:19:53.820
- But that's the reality we're facing.
- 00:19:53.820 --> 00:19:55.856
- And for our friends in the united states, beware.
- 00:19:55.856 --> 00:19:59.159
- It could come for you next. yeah.
- 00:19:59.159 --> 00:20:00.894
- And by the way, it starts with the jewish people.
- 00:20:00.894 --> 00:20:03.063
- It never ends with the jewish people.
- 00:20:03.063 --> 00:20:06.466
- Any hope?
- 00:20:06.767 --> 00:20:07.467
- There's always hope, of course.
- 00:20:07.467 --> 00:20:08.602
- But obviously positive trends in the united states.
- 00:20:08.602 --> 00:20:11.972
- President trump in office and new administration.
- 00:20:11.972 --> 00:20:14.107
- Who gets this threat?
- 00:20:14.107 --> 00:20:16.310
- What about the rest of the western world is the key,
- 00:20:16.310 --> 00:20:18.512
- Doctor saad's strong and resolute leadership.
- 00:20:18.512 --> 00:20:21.615
- At the end of the day.
- 00:20:21.615 --> 00:20:23.917
- I mean, it is, but but the devil is in the details.
- 00:20:23.917 --> 00:20:27.587
- What does it mean to be strong and resolute?
- 00:20:27.587 --> 00:20:29.323
- It means that actually believing that the western values,
- 00:20:29.323 --> 00:20:34.161
- That deontological western values are worth defending,
- 00:20:34.161 --> 00:20:38.532
- Cultures that don't kill gays off
- 00:20:38.532 --> 00:20:40.967
- Rooftops are superior to those that do.
- 00:20:40.967 --> 00:20:44.304
- Cultures where men and women are treated equally under
- 00:20:44.304 --> 00:20:47.407
- The law are superior to those that don't.
- 00:20:47.407 --> 00:20:50.410
- So we have to reject this idea of cultural relativism,
- 00:20:50.410 --> 00:20:54.548
- Whereby we become impotent
- 00:20:54.548 --> 00:20:56.316
- Because we can't criticize
- 00:20:56.316 --> 00:20:57.851
- The moors and the beliefs of other cultures.
- 00:20:57.851 --> 00:21:00.153
- If you wish to come to the west, then any value
- 00:21:00.153 --> 00:21:03.890
- That is antithetical to ours, you leave it at the door
- 00:21:03.890 --> 00:21:07.027
- Or else you're
- 00:21:07.027 --> 00:21:08.161
- On your way back to yemen as quickly as you came in.
- 00:21:08.161 --> 00:21:10.964
- And we found here in the west into this trap of being tolerant
- 00:21:10.964 --> 00:21:15.168
- To the intolerant.
- 00:21:15.168 --> 00:21:16.336
- About a minute left, doctor saad,
- 00:21:16.336 --> 00:21:17.704
- Tell us about your upcoming book, suicidal empathy.
- 00:21:17.704 --> 00:21:22.209
- So suicide of empathy basically says that empathy,
- 00:21:22.209 --> 00:21:25.145
- When it is properly regulated, is a lot of virtue.
- 00:21:25.145 --> 00:21:28.215
- We are a social species.
- 00:21:28.215 --> 00:21:29.649
- It makes perfect sense for us to be empathetic towards
- 00:21:29.649 --> 00:21:32.786
- Other people.
- 00:21:32.786 --> 00:21:33.920
- The problem arises when empathy becomes dysregulated.
- 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.591
- When i care more about ms13 gang members than i care about
- 00:21:37.591 --> 00:21:41.395
- American vets,
- 00:21:41.395 --> 00:21:42.529
- When i espouse the idea that all immigrants
- 00:21:42.529 --> 00:21:45.298
- Are equally likely to assimilate.
- 00:21:45.298 --> 00:21:47.234
- When i argue that all religions are equally peaceful or not.
- 00:21:47.234 --> 00:21:51.238
- And so in my quest to be infinitely suicidal,
- 00:21:51.238 --> 00:21:55.175
- I end up destroying my own, society.
- 00:21:55.175 --> 00:21:58.145
- And so what i demonstrate in the book
- 00:21:58.145 --> 00:21:59.646
- Is that many of our domestic and foreign policy stems
- 00:21:59.646 --> 00:22:02.883
- From this dysregulated and misguided empathy.
- 00:22:02.883 --> 00:22:05.952
- Yeah.
- 00:22:05.952 --> 00:22:06.620
- I mean, doctor
- 00:22:06.620 --> 00:22:07.921
- Saad, you're telling it like it is for such a time as this.
- 00:22:07.921 --> 00:22:10.924
- A very dangerous time.
- 00:22:10.924 --> 00:22:12.392
- Keep it up.
- 00:22:12.392 --> 00:22:13.093
- The books are the parasitic mind
- 00:22:13.093 --> 00:22:14.795
- Suicidal empathy coming out soon?
- 00:22:14.795 --> 00:22:16.596
- Be sure to follow him, folks on x across social media.
- 00:22:16.596 --> 00:22:19.366
- Doctor gadson, thank you so much.
- 00:22:19.366 --> 00:22:21.368
- We'll see you again soon. god bless.
- 00:22:21.368 --> 00:22:23.170
- And coming up after the break, my final thoughts on the death,
- 00:22:23.170 --> 00:22:27.107
- Perhaps the rebirth of the west and how it affects you.
- 00:22:27.107 --> 00:22:30.977
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:22:30.977 --> 00:22:33.007
- That's next. stick around.
- 00:22:33.007 --> 00:22:36.115
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:37.016 --> 00:22:38.784
- As you're watching our coverage,
- 00:22:38.784 --> 00:22:40.019
- You may be wondering, well, why should i care about israel?
- 00:22:40.019 --> 00:22:43.389
- Here's a reminder from the book of deuteronomy,
- 00:22:43.389 --> 00:22:45.458
- Chapter seven verse six, where god says to israel,
- 00:22:45.458 --> 00:22:48.260
- You are a people holy to the lord your god.
- 00:22:48.260 --> 00:22:51.197
- The lord your god has chosen you out of all the peoples
- 00:22:51.197 --> 00:22:54.600
- On the face of the earth, to be his people,
- 00:22:54.600 --> 00:22:56.836
- His treasured possession.
- 00:22:56.836 --> 00:22:58.270
- Clearly, israel is near and dear to god almighty heart.
- 00:22:58.270 --> 00:23:02.775
- So we have a stake in this too.
- 00:23:02.775 --> 00:23:04.743
- So continue to pray for israel for the peace of jerusalem.
- 00:23:04.743 --> 00:23:08.147
- We'll have more coverage of the war next week.
- 00:23:08.147 --> 00:23:09.982
- Colonel richard kemp will be here,
- 00:23:09.982 --> 00:23:11.784
- A cast of great experts who can break down
- 00:23:11.784 --> 00:23:15.087
- What's happening over there and why it matters to you
- 00:23:15.087 --> 00:23:18.290
- Right here.
- 00:23:18.290 --> 00:23:19.191
- In the meantime, have a great weekend.
- 00:23:19.191 --> 00:23:21.560
- God bless you, and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:21.560 --> 00:23:21.560
