PLAY A PRANK AND THE DRIVER SAID THE JOKE MADE HIS DAY. THAT WOULD SCARE THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS OUT OF ME. ALSO THIS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA, CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ IS BEING CRITICIZED FOR INVOKING THE ISRAEL HAMAS WAR INTO A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE. SHE WROTE IN PART, “IN THE STORY OF CHRISTMAS WAS BORN IN MODERN-DAY PALESTINE UNDER THE THREAT OF GOVERNMENT ENGAGED IN A MASSACRE OF INNOCENCE. THOUSANDS OF YEARS LATER, RIGHT WING FORCES ARE VIOLENTLY OCCUPYING BETHLEHEM HAS SIMILAR STORIES UNFOLD FOR TODAY’S PALESTINIANS, SO MUCH SO, THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY IN BETHLEHEM HAS CANCELED THIS YEAR’S CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION OUT OF FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY AND RESPECT.
FORMER CONSULTANT GOVERNOR MIKE HUCKABEE JOINS ME NOW TO RESPOND TO THAT. I’M SURE YOU HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS, GOVERNOR.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT HER CHRISTMAS MESSAGE? >> THERE IS A LOT TO UNPACK AND THAT, CARL E. IS SHE NOT AWARE THAT WAS JEWISH?
IS SHE NOT AWARE OF THE TERM PALESTINIAN MEANT JEWISH PEOPLE UNTIL 1962 WHEN YASSER ARAFAT CLICKED OF THE TERM AND CREATED A NATION AND MADE UP OF PEOPLE? AND CALLED THEM THE PALESTINIANS WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY JORDANIAN? IS SHE AWARE AT ALL OF THE FACT THAT WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT HOW BETHLEHEM IS NOT LETTING THE CHRISTIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS. BACK IN THE POSTER. THESE AND I WAS GOING THERE SINCE 1973 BUT UP IN THE ’80s COME 80% OF THE POPULATION OF BETHLEHEM WAS CHRISTIAN AND 20% WAS SOMETHING ELSE.
NOW IT IS 80% MUSLIM. THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 15% CHRISTIAN BECAUSE THE CHRISTIANS WERE PRETTY MUCH BURNED OUT AND SHUT DOWN BY THE RADICAL MUSLIMS WHO TOOK IT OVER BACK DURING — THIS IS A PERSON ORDERLY IGNORANT ABOUT WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT.
SHE MAY DO SOMETHING SHE KNOWS LIKE BARTENDING BECAUSE FOR GOSH SAKE, SHE HAS NO CLUE ABOUT THE HISTORY OF THE MIDDLE EAST, THE JEWISH PEOPLE, THE STATE OF ISRAEL ARE VIRTUALLY ANYTHING ELSE THAT SHE TALKED ABOUT. >> Carley: SHE TALKED ABOUT THE MASSACRE OF INNOCENCE WITHOUT MENTIONING OCTOBER 7TH AS WELL. I UNDERSTAND YOU WERE JUST IN ISRAEL AND YOU SAID 75 DAYS IN THIS WAR AFTER OCTOBER 7TH, YOU COULD STILL SMELL THE DEATH — YOU COULD STILL SMELL DEATH IN THE AIR.
HOW HORRIBLE. I WAS THAT EXPERIENCE FOR YOU? >> CARLEY COME IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST ASKED SOBERING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE.
I THOUGHT I WAS KIND OF PREPARED FOR WHAT WE WOULD SEE AND HEAR FROM THE PEOPLE. WE TALKED TO SURVIVORS.
WE TALK TO FAMILIES OF HOSTAGES TO IDF SOLDIERS. SPENT TIME WITH THE PRIME MINISTER. BUT I WASN’T PREPARED FOR THE EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF JUST SEEING FIRSTHAND WALKING THROUGH THE VILLAGE OF COFFER, AS A ONE OF THE FIRST WAYS OF HAMAS TERRORIST WHO CAME IN AND SLAUGHTER PEOPLE.
I CAN’T DESCRIBE ON TELEVISION SOME OF THE THINGS DONE TO INNOCENT PEOPLE. I’M TALKING BABIES, LITTLE CHILDREN, WOMEN, ELDERLY PEOPLE.
IT WAS NOT JUST A MURDERER. IT WAS A SLAUGHTER, A HUMILIATION, MUTILATION OF THEIR BODIES. PEOPLE FROM GAZA CAME OVER AND LOOTED THE HOMES. HAVING TO STEP OVER THE BODIES AND THE BODY PARTS OF DEAD ISRAELIS IN ORDER TO GO TO THE REFRIGERATORS AND TAKE THEIR FOOD AND GO INTO THE CUPBOARDS AND CLOSETS AND TAKE THINGS AND THEN GO BACK INTO GAZA. IT IS THE MOST UNCIVILIZED ACT OF ATROCITY THAT WE HAVE PROBABLY SEEN IN OUR LIFETIME.
JUST BEYOND MEASURE. FOR ANYBODY TO DEFEND THIS AND SCREAM FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, IT IS NOT JUST ANTI-SEMITISM BUT ANTI-HUMANITY. THIS IS EVIL IN ITS MOST GRAVE FORM. >> Carley: A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SHOUTING FROM THE RIVER TO THE SEA, ESPECIALLY ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES. AND THERE IS MAJOR BACKLASH NOW HAPPENING IN HARVARD.
APPARENTLY, FORMER AND CURRENT HARVARD FACULTY ARE NOW PRESSURING MEMBERS OF THE HARVARD BOARD.
IT IS AN 11 MEMBER PANEL CALLED THE HARVARD CORPORATION FOR STANDING BY PRESIDENT CLAUDINE GAYE AND THEY SPOKE TO “THE WALL STREET JOURNAL” BUT ONE MEDICAL SCHOOL DEAN SAID THEY ARE UNDER PRESSURE, THAT IS OBVIOUS. THEY ARE THE FIDUCIARY BODY AND NO ONE WILL DENY THAT HARVARD’S REPUTATION HAS TAKEN A SUBSTANTIAL HIT IN THE WORLD ON ITS WATCH THAT THIS IS HAPPENING. WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN TO HARVARD, THE FUTURE OF THE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES IN GENERAL? THIS IS HAPPENING PRETTY MUCH ACROSS THE BOARD AND ALSO WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO CLAUDINE GAY.
>> IF THEY DON’T WAKE UP AND FIND THEIR MORAL COMPASS COME I WOULD HOPE PARENTS WOULD SAY, “I MIGHT SEND MY KIDS TO A LOT OF PLACES INCLUDING A COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUT I WILL NOT WASTE MONEY TO SEND MY KID TO A PLACE THAT WILL TURN HIM INTO AN IDIOT.” WHY WOULD I PAY A THOUSAND PLUS A YEAR TO BE A TOTAL JOLT WHEN IT COMES TO THE REALITIES OF HISTORY. YES, THEY SHOULD FIRE HER BUT THE BOARD OUGHT TO RESIGN IN DISGRACE FOR NOT ALREADY HAVING DONE IT.
THEY MUST RECOGNIZE HARVARD’S HISTORY IS TRAINING CHRISTIAN MINISTERS. I DON’T THINK THEY HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEIR HISTORY WAS PURE THEY WERE CERTAINLY NOT LIVING UP TO IT NOW.
>> Carley: A LOT OF FOLKS ARE THINKING TWICE ABOUT SENDING.
