| 0:00.0 | In Israel, I'm not sure I need to even qualify it for Jews in Israel. |
| 0:05.9 | I'm not sure this is not true about Jews in general. |
| 0:08.6 | They don't see Arab people as human beings. |
| 0:11.6 | They see them as cockroaches. |
| 0:14.1 | They see them as pest. |
| 0:16.4 | They don't see people getting butchered. |
| 0:19.7 | They're seeing mice getting exterminated. This is what they see. |
| 0:25.4 | They don't have a normal human reaction to this. They don't care. You can show it to them |
| 0:30.1 | 24 hours a day. It might make them sad because the picture looks sad. It's not a happy picture. |

| 1:47.2 | But also the attack, the U.S. we're recording this just after the United States attacked Iran and then the kind of the subsequent Israeli attacks in the last 24 hours |
| 1:54.2 | as well on Iran and Iranian counterattacks into Israel. So I wanted to start off, Alan, |
