Notable quotes

“It's totally corrupt. Every Hamas leader who's now dead died a billionaire with a B. To say that they used Gaza's resources or the resources that came into Gaza for their own ends is to just vastly understate matters. Hamas used everything that came in to build the infrastructure of terror that allowed them to do the seventh and everything since. They militarized the whole of Gaza. By the estimations of troops I've b”

“The case that started from very early on that critics of Israel had was the claim that I think I first heard it on about the 8th of October before Israel had done anything in response was the claim that Israel must act proportionately in response. And I have a critique of this that I've often expressed which is that there is such a thing as proportionality in warfare. And at the same time, Israel is always accused of”

And I think that Putin has Putin has been willing to deal for the entire leadup to the war and pretty much throughout the war. And there's been a lot of solid reporting on this. And I mean the sources on it are pretty impeccable. The the head of NATO Stalenberg, I always mess up his name, but he literally said that in late 2021 that”

“I think what Trump is pursuing is infinitely preferable to what Biden was doing. You know what puts Donald Trump and I don't think everything he's done has been perfect. Um and I really did not like that mineral uh deal that he was floating out for a while there. And I and I think maybe that might be the best thing that came out of that Oval Office thing is that maybe that you know Donald Trump is going to be very to”
