for political reasons or for competitive reasons. So I don't think he's going to be able to show that any bad things happened, but he might be able to show that the case can't go forward. That's just a guess. I don't know.

All right. Speaking of things I don't know much about, Jonathan Turley says that there's new stuff coming up with the Biden crime family situation. And so Turley tweets that newly released evidence reveals over 20 million dollars coming from 23 separate countries on four continents to at least nine Biden family members. And then he says not only are the Biden transfers becoming clear, so is the Biden family tree in this lucrative form of corruption.

Now if you were to read this out of context you would say to yourself some version of, "Oh my God, they totally have the goods on the Biden crime family. Man, they're in trouble now, right? They're in big trouble now." Except do we really live in a world in which the evidence is going to matter in this case? If it were you or me, I think the evidence would matter a lot. But do we really think it's going to matter in this case? My guess is no. My guess is it won't matter at all. What do you think?

I feel as if it will make no difference how much direct evidence there is because the other side will simply say there was no direct evidence. And then you'll say, "But here it is, like right here. Look, look, direct evidence." And they'll say, "Well, I got to go." And then tomorrow they'll come back and say, "Well, there was no direct evidence." You know, no evidence connecting to Hunter Biden or whatever.

Let me check something for a minute here. All right, just making sure my camera is working. I think I'm going to have to change that camera orientation because I have to look up to see it.

All right. Well anyway, all the other news got wiped off the map because of the situation in Israel. And that's not the only news that got wiped out. Did anybody wake up this morning and say to themselves, "I don't think I can spend another minute looking at atrocities"? Because it seemed like all the videos were about atrocities. And I woke up this morning: atrocity is gone. Did you notice that? Did anybody notice that all the videos of the atrocities are gone?

I'm not saying that's good or bad. It's an observation. Yeah, and I'm not too surprised because there weren't that many different videos. So I think the social media networks could focus in on getting the ones. A number of them were fake, right? So there was one video that purported to show some high-ranking Israeli being captured by the Palestinians, and that was not even from the same country. Yeah, it was a fake video from another country.

You can still see the videos on Telegram. But it does tell you that the media monster, including social media, have made a decision about how much to inflame the emotions of the viewers. And you could easily predict that there would be a blackout of news. Here's why: because the next phase is going to be terrible. Like the first phase was almost terrible on a level that's hard to imagine unless you're thinking World War II levels. But for what Israel needs to do next and has already said they would do, which is go into Gaza and take over, apparently Gaza is booby-trapped. And I mean it would just be the hardest door-to-door fighting you could ever have. And Israel certainly didn't want to do it.

But you're not going to see any of that on video. Presumably lots of video will be taken because they have cameras and whatnot. But I think Israel's already turned off the electricity and water. So Gaza already has no electricity and water. I don't know how they're getting food, right? And you could expect that the bloodshed will be extreme. When Israel moves in, they're already bombing, so there's already bloodshed. But not as much as it's going to be. It's going to be a lot worse.

And it seems to me, and I'll tell you why in a minute, that Israel needed to and their allies needed to just turn off the news. Because what happens next they're not going to want on the news. So yeah, one half of the population of Gaza is children. Did you know that? Fifty percent of the entire population of Gaza are children. How do you think they're being raised? Do you think they're being radicalized? Well, if they weren't being radicalized, I'm sure they were. But if they weren't, they are now. I mean if they weren't before, they certainly are now.

What do you do with a million children? Because there are about two million in Gaza. So there are something like a million children who have been raised to be almost weapons to hate Israel. And what do you do about it? And what do you do about that? You would have to control their school systems and retrain them as best you could. You'd have to control the news and control the schools, and you would have to shut down anything that was training people differently. So the level of change that Israel would have to introduce is just going to look like a prison camp, right?

They would have to remove pretty much all freedom even in order for Israel to be safe. They would have to remove most freedom from Gaza because the Gazans have been propagandized. And by the way, I'm not making an opinion of who's good or bad or right or wrong. In case you're picking it up, if you're like, "Oh, I think he's pro this or anti that," I'm trying not to be. Because my opinion is that as bad as these current things are, it's a complicated place. And it's easy to tell the story and forget to leave out, you know, this group did something bad to the other group. What about that thing a hundred years ago? And you're forgetting the thing 2,000 years ago. But what about the 1940s? But what about the 1970s, right?

So when you talk about that area, unless you say everything that both sides have done that's shitty to each side, nobody's going to take you seriously. So I'm just going to blanketly say bad people have done bad things. But I'm looking at what's happening at the moment.

All right. So here are some things we know. The news is telling us that Iran, their intelligence people or security people, helped Hamas plan the attack. And that they met with him in Beirut with senior members of Hezbollah and Hamas, which would suggest that Hezbollah is backing it but might back it more militarily in the future. Now that's the news.

Now let me ask you this. What was the source? You all heard that news. If you're paying attention, you've already heard that. What was the source? Do you remember seeing any source? How would we know that that meeting happened? We're in the middle of a war. In a way we're all in the middle of it. We're in the middle of a war and an anonymous source told you something. That's right on the nose. Middle of a war. That's a big strong signal for everything being a lie, right on the nose. This is your second signal for everything being a lie, right?

So war, anonymous source, right on the nose. Those are three signals for a lie. But don't you think it's directionally true? Don't you think Iran has supported Hamas in a military way? Here's my best guess. My best guess is that the story is fake but that it's true enough. Meaning that maybe there was no specific meeting in Beirut that included those parties, but it would be really good militarily to tell people that they knew about a specific meeting in a specific place with a specific set of attendees. Because if you tell the story that way, then the public goes, "Whoa, I thought it was just a rumor, but apparently you actually know about the people in the room."

Okay, so I believe it now more likely we have a certainty that Iran is behind it. And somebody made up a narrative that fits the certainty that we all held. My guess is it's not the general idea. The general idea is true. I guess my best understanding is that Iran is behind at least the funding and probably a lot of the planning. But was there that one specific meeting that was key to it all? I'm going to say no. I'm going to say more likely no than yes. But that it got you to the right place. It took your head to the right place but probably with a path that wasn't quite complete.

All right. So here are some of the things that I've learned. I saw one opinion piece that says, well let me just give you this background first. Did you know that the Hamas charter, so the charter of the organization from 1988, hasn't changed apparently, calls for Islam to quote "obliterate Israel"? Did you know that? It's actually the written part of the charter. Generally speaking, if somebody has that written in their charter that they're going to destroy you, that's a free punch. You can do anything to that group. You can murder them all, torture them all. Nobody gives a what. Once you've declared your intention to do a holocaust on a demographic group, you know they're talking about Israel the country but really it's pretty close to just a holocaust. Once you've declared your intention, the people that are the potential victims of that, they could do anything. There are no restrictions on what they can do once that is the stated opinion.

Now I'm not saying they should. I'm not recommending any particular kind of violence or anything. I'm just saying that their moral and I guess just moral standing is 100%. They can do anything they want. Whether it makes sense to do that is another story.

Now here are all the interesting speculations about Israel, Hamas, Russia, and Ukraine. Because we all think it might be related. This big military-industrial thing might be all one big thing. So here are some things that will help you decide that.

First of all, Iran is not exac
