[00:00:28] So I just heard of the top of the hour newscast, apparently Israel took out another Hezbollah leader. Cool. Like, I don't usually celebrate, you know, deaths of anybody. But when it comes to terrorist organizations like Hezbollah, I'm OK with that.

[00:00:49] I'm all right with taking out their entire command structure. I'm OK with neutering every single attack dog of the Iranian regime. Israel, like I said this a year ago.

[00:01:04] A year ago, on October 8th, the day after the massacre, when another Iranian proxy, Hamas, went and murdered, raped, burned Jews and even non-Jews. They didn't really care.

[00:01:25] All across the border with Gaza a year ago and brought down the full wrath of the Israeli people who are pretty much all now united in their effort to destroy Hamas.

[00:01:45] And I said at the time, Israel, in my opinion, not that I have any say over it. They are their own nation.

[00:01:52] I don't have any control over the U.S. government's position on Israel or what they're doing or anything like that.

[00:02:01] I have no influence. However, Israel, in my opinion, can can they go ahead? Just do what you got to do.

[00:02:09] I am so done with treating these, you know, eighth century barbarians as if their culture is something to celebrate.

[00:02:21] It is not. It is a colonialist, expansionist, murderous ideology.

[00:02:29] It always has been. Always has been.

[00:02:33] And well, except for the period of time when Muhammad was getting run out of Medina, I believe it was the seaport trading town.

[00:02:44] I think that's I remember it's been a while since I since I studied up on the the roots of Islam.

[00:02:52] And I if I recall correctly, he was run out of town because he was like stealing little components of all these different religions and preaching on the corners.

[00:03:01] And people were getting really ticked off at him. And so they ran him out.

[00:03:04] And and then, of course, he I think that's I think after that is when he he marries the widow, the rich widow gets all the money from her when she dies.

[00:03:15] Not sure if there was ever any kind of medical examination, autopsy or anything on her to find out how she died.

[00:03:21] But she died. And then he got all of the money.

[00:03:24] Then he, of course, you know, begins the the raiding of the merchant caravans, the wiping out of villages and stealing all of their wealth.

[00:03:33] And then he amasses a big army.

[00:03:35] He keeps tweaking the religion, obviously, with with his excursions into the cave where he talked to God and God told him, go murder more people and stuff.

[00:03:44] And then he expanded that ideology through the sword all across the Arabian Peninsula and then into North Africa and into Europe.

[00:03:55] And it is basically everywhere that he could go everywhere that all of his followers could, you know, be lopping off heads or collecting taxes from nonbelievers, whatever method people, you know, would more easily submit to.

[00:04:11] After all, right, Islam means peace.

[00:04:16] Through submission.

[00:04:18] So to the will of Allah and the will of Allah as expressed by the people with the swords in their hands.

[00:04:25] So.

[00:04:28] I would just like to imagine a Middle East without the Iranian mullahs, the kleptocracy that runs the show over there.

[00:04:37] I would love to imagine a Middle East because the other countries, the Sunni Muslim countries all around Iran, they would very much like to see Iran's leadership go.

[00:04:49] But they can't do it.

[00:04:50] They can't do it.

[00:04:54] They tried.

[00:04:55] They're not strong enough.

[00:04:57] Their military is not good enough.

[00:05:00] The Arab street will rise up against them.

[00:05:03] They're afraid of being deposed themselves because I don't know if you're aware of this or not, but there are a lot of bad regimes running countries over in that part of the world.

[00:05:13] They have not apparently adhered to the chanting Hamas holes on the streets of the urban Western civilizations in college camp.

[00:05:23] I that have been telling us what democracy looks like when they're not calling for another round of intifada, a.k.a.

[00:05:31] the murder of innocent Jews.

[00:05:34] And so they can't very well knock out Iran.

[00:05:38] They can help like they did when all of those missiles were launched against Israel.

[00:05:44] Not the last time, but the one before that.

[00:05:46] Right.

[00:05:46] This not the most recent one, but the one before that.

[00:05:49] And a bunch of countries helped Israel knock them down.

[00:05:53] And so just as I've been saying for years that there is a realignment in American politics going on in the political parties and who the parties represent, who makes them up, what they stand for and all of that.

[00:06:05] It's been going on long before Donald Trump.

[00:06:08] He just took advantage of the situation.

[00:06:12] And so is the Middle East realigning?

[00:06:15] You saw it with the Abraham Accords, right, where you've got countries that are like, hey, you know what?

[00:06:22] Maybe we could actually learn something from the Jews.

[00:06:28] Maybe if we don't kill them all, we could actually build some desalinization plants in our country, too.

[00:06:34] And then we would have more water instead of just, you know, living in a desert.

[00:06:39] That might be a benefit.

[00:06:43] And so the Iranians have for what?

[00:06:47] I saw somebody was talking about this when the the Ayatollah was on his way over to Iran and they let him land.

[00:06:55] And I think it was Douglas Murray in an interview with Barry Weiss the other day.

[00:07:02] And Douglas Murray said, I think he was I think it was Douglas Murray said, imagine if that plane had not been allowed to land, how different the world would look.

[00:07:13] Right.

[00:07:15] How different the world would look.

[00:07:18] And.

[00:07:20] I think we're on a path right now.

[00:07:24] Where the world is going to look different.

[00:07:28] And I mean, we're I guess we're always on that path.

[00:07:30] The only thing constant is change.

[00:07:32] But I think the Middle East is going to look a lot different when Israel is done.

[00:07:36] And.

[00:07:38] You know, they've ignored all of Joe Biden's demands only between the hours of 10 a.m.

[00:07:44] and 4 p.m. when he can make phone calls and such.

[00:07:49] They're going to do what has to be done because they are sick and tired of having to deal with these Iranian backed proxies.

[00:07:58] Murdering their people.

[00:08:00] Every 10 years or so with these with these uprisings, they're just done with it.

[00:08:04] And they should be any.

[00:08:07] Think about it.

[00:08:08] If.

[00:08:10] If Mexico.

[00:08:12] Well, not Mexico.

[00:08:13] If Canada.

[00:08:14] If Canada had launched a war against us because you can't trust the Canadians.

[00:08:19] The I'm just kidding.

[00:08:21] I have nothing against Canadians.

[00:08:22] In theory.

[00:08:25] But the Canadians launch an attack and they murder, let's say, one percent of our population.

[00:08:32] Or point one percent.

[00:08:34] I think that's what it worked out to be.

[00:08:37] Yeah, I think it's like 10 million Jews in Israel and they murdered twelve hundred Israelis.

[00:08:43] And yeah, I think that's point one.

[00:08:45] So anyway, imagine if they had done that.

[00:08:47] Tens of thousands of Americans.

[00:08:50] Murdered.

[00:08:51] Tortured.

[00:08:53] Kidnapped.

[00:08:54] Raped.

[00:08:55] Burned alive.

[00:08:56] Right.

[00:08:57] Beheaded.

[00:08:58] Imagine if that's what we had been faced with.

[00:09:02] Would anybody be saying, now, now, now, make sure that your response to those Canadians is proportionate?

[00:09:10] I know what I would have said in response to that.

[00:09:13] It would have been something similar to what America said after 9-11.

[00:09:19] You're going to go and you're going to not just exact revenge, but you're going to wipe them out.

[00:09:24] You will not be able to do this anymore.

[00:09:27] And with Iran, unlike Al-Qaeda, there's a benefit in that they actually have a country and a government.

[00:09:37] They're an actual country with a government.

[00:09:40] And so there are targets.

[00:09:43] And you first start going after all of the tentacles that can hurt you, that are closest to you.

[00:09:49] And I suspect Israel is now going to go after the head of the snake.

[00:09:55] And I am totally fine with that.

[00:09:57] I am.

[00:09:58] Because I would be totally fine if it was us.

[00:10:03] But that's me.

[00:10:04] What do I know?

[00:10:04] Just a radio host.

[00:10:05] No influence over foreign policy.

[00:10:08] Or do I?

[00:10:10] No, I don't.

[00:10:11] You know, stories are powerful.

[00:10:12] They help us make sense of things, to understand experiences.

[00:11:14] Let's go and talk with Dean.

[00:11:16] Hello, Dean.

[00:11:16] Welcome to the show.

[00:11:18] What do you say there, Pete?

[00:11:19] Hey, how are you, man?

[00:11:21] I am doing just fine.

[00:11:23] And Pete, I come from an organization that lives by the creed, de oppresso liber, to

[00:11:28] creed the oppressed.

[00:11:30] I am with you on your opening monologue.

[00:11:34] But as I get up in age, you gotta think, you know, today's youth in the Middle East is

[00:11:39] tomorrow's terrorist.

[00:11:41] We can kill all the military-aged males over there.

[00:11:44] And you and I both know what's gonna happen.

[00:11:47] Can I ask what your thoughts are on about that?

[00:11:49] So I would not recommend that you kill all military-aged males or all like that.

[00:11:54] That's, no, that's not the Israeli plan either.

[00:11:59] The plan is to make the payment so costly that they no longer have the desire to engage in

[00:12:09] the kind of terrorism that they've been engaging in.

[00:12:12] That's the only thing that works.

[00:12:14] It's the only way these types of, it's the only way that war ends.

[00:12:18] Somebody has to surrender.

[00:12:19] You either kill them all or somebody surrenders, right?

[00:12:22] That the cost becomes so great that the people, one side loses the will to continue fighting.

[00:12:30] Yes, I agree.

[00:12:32] And I'm not calling to argue.

[00:12:34] I'm calling to talk with you.

[00:12:35] Yeah, no, that's what, I'm not arguing.

[00:12:37] That's what I think the Israelis are doing.

[00:12:40] That's, I mean, it's obvious to me, right?

[00:12:42] That's the intention is to make the punishment so expensive, you know, that it will jeopardize

[00:12:50] all of the people's power and control and wealth that are running these proxies, the mullahs in Iran.

[00:12:58] And I get that.

[00:13:01] I lived in New York City in the 70s, and then I've been around the world where people are doing

[00:13:08] negative things with firearms and explosives.

[00:13:11] And I equate you, everybody asks, why would those kids get into the life of drugs and guns in the 70s and 80s and 90s?

[00:13:19] And then why are youth becoming terrorists?

[00:13:23] And in both cases, you can be a goat farmer or you could be a barber or a shoeshine person.

[00:13:29] But the cool guys, the cool guys flashing the money have the guns and have the cars and have the girls or the sheep, whichever you prefer.

[00:13:37] Well, but Dean, to your point, though, because the price of that lifestyle is minimal, right?

[00:13:45] You could engage, like, if you, if there's no penalty to be paid for pursuing criminality,

[00:13:51] then more people will pursue it because it's all upside, right?

[00:13:55] As long as you're willing to engage in the behavior and check your ethics at the door and do bad things to, you know, innocent people,

[00:14:01] right, then what penalty is there to pay for engaging in that lifestyle?

[00:14:07] No, no, I get it.

[00:14:11] This is a today solution, and I get it.

[00:14:14] I don't know what the long-term solution is because strong men with guns are always just going to stand up

[00:14:21] and do the same thing, and that's who outlived 20 years of war in Afghanistan, people with guns.

[00:14:27] Well, I would say, well, Dean, I would submit that the reason why that occurred was because America

[00:14:33] and the people of America and the leadership of America had no desire to actually win that war

[00:14:41] because we were not interested in doing what was necessary to be done

[00:14:45] because we try to wage war.

[00:14:48] Like you see what Israel doing right now, they're trying to wage war in a way that is ethical,

[00:14:53] and we kind of, I think America kind of went too far into that area,

[00:15:00] and it's like we're not, you know, we're very, we want everybody to be okay with the way that we're doing this thing,

[00:15:08] and so we handcuff a lot of our people in the field.

[00:15:13] And no doubt, we're, I don't want to say, for being popular-driven by the media.

[00:15:19] That's what drives everything on our side of this line in the sand.

[00:15:23] Yeah, and it's been that way since Vietnam, right?

[00:15:25] I mean, like, that's the, that's the, I mean, you know, the Tet Offensive was a massive failure for the Viet Cong.

[00:15:31] They thought they had lost, and then they see the reporting and the way it's covered in America,

[00:15:35] and they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, we may have just won, even though we lost militarily.

[00:15:40] Like, it was a, it was an embarrassment, a humiliation for them.

[00:15:43] But, but yeah, I mean, if you, if you, that's the thing, like,

[00:15:47] if you're going to actually take the steps of going into war first,

[00:15:50] you need the declaration of war, which we don't do that anymore either,

[00:15:53] but then you go in to win, and that means surrender.

[00:15:58] For one side surrenders.

[00:16:00] Like, that's, that's what that...

[00:16:02] Unconditionally.

[00:16:03] Yeah.

[00:16:04] Yeah, I mean, and I, and I don't know if, I mean, this gets to a larger discussion about,

[00:16:11] you know, the, the civilization of the, you know, Western civilization,

[00:16:13] and whether or not we actually, as a society, want to continue living.

[00:16:19] Because it, it, it, all indications are right now that a lot of people say no.

[00:16:26] They don't, they're not cool with the Western civilization and the ethics and such.

[00:16:30] And so they're like, you know what, we'll just let it go.

[00:16:32] And to your point, you're exactly right.

[00:16:33] Like that it's got to be unconditional surrender.

[00:16:36] And that's how wars are won.

[00:16:39] And that's how people take land.

[00:16:41] It's how nations are, are kept, but it's also how they're defended.

[00:16:45] Right.

[00:16:45] And so I don't know what the alternative for the Jewish state is.

[00:16:49] What is the alternative?

[00:16:51] If you've got people that are demanding you all die, like, what's the negotiation there?

[00:16:57] So then considering history, the proper way forward out of this is for the Israelis to have a Marshall plan

[00:17:06] to rebuild that side of the border.

[00:17:14] They did.

[00:17:15] To make those, they, I mean, they.

[00:17:17] And you're absolutely correct.

[00:17:18] You know, I know what you're saying.

[00:17:19] Yeah.

[00:17:19] They tried.

[00:17:20] I know what you're saying.

[00:17:20] I know what they pulled out and left.

[00:17:22] But.

[00:17:23] And they gave them water.

[00:17:24] They gave them humanitarian aid.

[00:17:26] They gave them jobs.

[00:17:26] They gave them access to capital.

[00:17:28] They, they, they, they all, they offered that kind of a pathway forward.

[00:17:33] And Hamas, the Palestinian people and Iran rejected it.

[00:17:38] They don't want it.

[00:17:41] And they destroyed whatever they left.

[00:17:42] Yes, I know that.

[00:17:43] Yeah.

[00:17:44] So, okay.

[00:17:45] So we're, so we're back to the same thing when they, they, their primary focus is to

[00:17:50] kill Jews, to get them to abandon Israel or to die.

[00:17:55] So what is the, what's the halfway point?

[00:17:57] What's the negotiation?

[00:17:58] I would submit there isn't one.

[00:18:01] Correct.

[00:18:01] Yeah, I agree with it.

[00:18:03] Yeah.

[00:18:03] And so there's not, but now you're putting it to where you're killing every military

[00:18:06] age male.

[00:18:07] No, no, you have to, you have to, well, you don't kill every one of them, but you have

[00:18:12] to break the, uh, the fever.

[00:18:14] You've got to break their willingness to keep fighting.

[00:18:19] And I don't, and that's, and there's, and success is not assured, right?

[00:18:24] They don't know.

[00:18:25] They could lose.

[00:18:26] And if the Jews lose, they're all dead too.

[00:18:29] Oh yeah.

[00:18:31] So that, that, that's what, like, there's this, there, there's this, I think, um, this

[00:18:36] night in naivete, uh, this belief that like, that, that war is somehow different now because

[00:18:42] we're so much more evolved or something, you know, than we were thousands of years ago.

[00:18:48] Uh, no, like that's, that, that was what dictated the outcomes of war was who lived and

[00:18:53] who died, who could beat the other one.

[00:18:56] That's it.

[00:18:57] And that's, that's what this is.

[00:18:59] So you've got to, they need an unconditional surrender and the people, they need hostages

[00:19:05] released.

[00:19:05] They need Hamas to surrender, but I don't think Israel's going to stop with Hamas and Hezbollah.

[00:19:10] I think they're going on, they're going to go all the way to Tehran because that's the head

[00:19:14] of the snake and the Middle East is destabilized as long as Iran's regime remains.

[00:19:20] Of course.

[00:19:21] Yeah.

[00:19:22] And I don't like it.

[00:19:23] I mean, I wish it was different for all of the innocent people that are there.

[00:19:28] But, you know, I don't, I don't live there and I have no influence there.

[00:19:32] So that's, it's tough.

[00:19:33] Dean.

[00:19:34] Yeah, go ahead.

[00:19:35] No, no, I'm good.

[00:19:37] All right.

[00:19:37] I appreciate it, Dean.

[00:19:38] Yeah.

[00:19:38] All right.

[00:19:38] Good to hear from you.

[00:19:39] I appreciate the call.

[00:19:40] That's a good discussion.

[00:19:41] And, and like, I don't, I don't have an answer that's going to make people feel good.

[00:19:45] I recognize that.

[00:19:46] But that's not what I'm here for.

[00:21:01] And thanks for being a part of Simply NC Goods story.

[00:21:04] Um, let me get to a couple of messages here.

[00:21:08] First from Kevin.

[00:21:10] Pete, I agree with you on a lot of stuff.

[00:21:12] Well, Kevin, that's because I am right about a lot of stuff, I think.

[00:21:17] Um, but I'm going to have to disagree on this one.

[00:21:20] Oh, you're dead to me, Kevin.

[00:21:22] Uh, what you had said about how would we respond if we were in Israel's shoes?

[00:21:27] I understand why Israel is on the attack, but it won't make things better.

[00:21:32] Violence only breeds more violence, according to Jesus.

[00:21:36] These attacks will only make Israel less safe in the long run, especially in that part of the world.

[00:21:42] Okay, so first off, uh, and there's more to this email, but let me just stop right there.

[00:21:47] Um, violence does not only breed more violence, in my opinion, because sometimes violence ends violence.

[00:21:56] Self-defense, for example.

[00:21:58] Somebody breaks into my house.

[00:21:59] They're trying to murder me.

[00:22:00] I kill them.

[00:22:01] Violence ends.

[00:22:03] It actually establishes peace and preserves life.

[00:22:07] My life, right?

[00:22:09] So, like, I don't believe this argument that war never solves anything.

[00:22:15] That's not true.

[00:22:16] Sometimes wars do solve stuff.

[00:22:18] And, for example, um, we have not been at war with Germany or Japan, as far as I know, since, like, we beat them in World War II, right?

[00:22:29] They lost their desire to continue on with their nihilistic death cult ideology.

[00:22:36] You gotta break the fever.

[00:22:39] And, um, we have tried the other ways.

[00:22:45] We have tried diplomacy.

[00:22:47] We have offered various countries the pathway forward through peace, and when you are in the grips of the fever of a death cult, you don't take that path.

[00:22:57] So you gotta break that.

[00:22:59] The path remains open if they renounce the violence, but that has to be their call.

[00:23:05] It's like somebody breaking in.

[00:23:07] I point the gun at them, and I'm like, I am armed.

[00:23:09] Get out of my house.

[00:23:10] And if they leave, then they took the off-ramp.

[00:23:14] That's awesome.

[00:23:14] If they do not leave, then their aggression will be met with the deadly use of force, right?

[00:23:21] Like, that's, I am going to eliminate this threat to me.

[00:23:24] The Israeli state is in no position or under no obligation to allow for the extermination of their own people.

[00:23:33] In fact, that is the only reason why people band together to form nations and governments in the first place.

[00:23:39] If the government is not going to provide for the mutual defense, then there is no purpose to that government at all.

[00:23:48] All right, let me get back to the email.

[00:23:49] We lost 7,085 of my brothers and sisters in the war on terrorism, and we have basically zero to show for it.

[00:23:56] This will be the eventuality, I guess, eventual outcome for Israel, too.

[00:24:04] Again, I disagree.

[00:24:06] I think Israel is fighting this war in a way that we did not fight the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

[00:24:11] They're doing this differently.

[00:24:16] And if you don't believe that, did we, in the 20 years that the U.S. was fighting the global war on terror,

[00:24:28] did we ever plant bombs in pagers and walkie-talkies?

[00:24:35] Like, did we ever do that kind of an operation?

[00:24:37] I'm not aware of it.

[00:24:38] Maybe we did.

[00:24:39] I'm not aware of it.

[00:24:42] All this war is growing a new generation to hate Israel.

[00:24:47] So that already exists.

[00:24:53] Like, there isn't anything that Israel can offer people that want them to die.

[00:24:59] That's the thing.

[00:25:00] Unless you're saying get rid of the Israeli state, they don't have a right to exist,

[00:25:04] which is a position to take.

[00:25:06] I would disagree with that, but you are free to your own opinion on that.

[00:25:10] But they have tried the pathways to peace, the de-escalation.

[00:25:17] They have built the Iron Dome to protect themselves from the incoming missiles.

[00:25:24] Right?

[00:25:24] Like, they've done all of this stuff.

[00:25:26] And now it's like, you know what?

[00:25:27] You're in my house.

[00:25:28] I told you to leave.

[00:25:29] You won't leave.

[00:25:30] Now this is it.

[00:25:31] So when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's.

[00:25:34] And before he died, my mom and my dad and all of us really helped take care of him as he got progressively worse.

[00:25:40] Forty years ago, there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers and family.

[00:25:45] Things are different today because of the work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of Western North Carolina.

[00:25:51] It's a great organization with awesome people.

[00:25:54] They've got huge hearts.

[00:25:55] I've been a supporter for like 25 years.

[00:25:57] This cause means a lot to me.

[00:25:59] I participate in the annual walk to end Alzheimer's.

[00:26:02] And I am leading a Charlotte team this year.

[00:26:05] It's called Pete's Pack.

[00:26:06] You can sign up and join the team and walk with me.

[00:26:09] It's on October 19th at Truist Field in Uptown.

[00:26:13] Sign up at alz.org slash walk and then just look for my team, Pete's Pack.

[00:26:18] And there's also a link in the podcast description here.

[00:26:20] Also, I'm going to be emceeing the Gastonia Walk on October 5th.

[00:26:24] So make a team and join us or make a donation to help me hit my goal.

[00:26:27] I would really appreciate it.

[00:26:29] There are a bunch of other walks around the Carolinas.

[00:26:32] And you can go to alz.org for all of the dates and locations.

[00:26:36] We are closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's.

[00:26:40] And if you can help us get there, we would really appreciate it.

[00:26:44] Will you come walk with me for a different future, for families, for more time, for treatments?

[00:26:49] This is why I walk.

[00:26:50] All right, that'll do it for this episode.

[00:26:52] Thank you so much for listening.

[00:26:54] I could not do the show without your support and the support of the businesses that advertise on the podcast.

[00:26:59] So if you'd like, please support them too and tell them you heard it here.

[00:27:02] You can also become a patron at my Patreon page or go to thepetecalendershow.com.

[00:27:08] Again, thank you so much for listening.

[00:27:09] And don't break anything while I'm gone.
