We covered so much today. The mnemonic plague, which is worse than the bubonic plague. Yeah, somebody dropped a vial in Siberia and now it's out. They say they have it under control, but the history of Russia isn't too good on being real clear on these things. The White House says they're monitoring any outbreak. Also, Zach Bryan was in the news this weekend with a Palestinian. He went to the same stadiums that said no to Macklemore. And so because he's a rebel, he decided he was going to wear a Palestinian free Palestine T-shirt. But it also said, an appeal to heaven. Appeal to heaven? Huh. That's a problem that I don't think Zach or anybody else understands. But I explain it. The French riots and the school walkouts. Why is this so important? And what's next for France? And why did I say on today's show? What's happening in France is dress rehearsal for what's coming here. All on today's podcast.

So this week, there is so much going on that you need to really pay attention to. I think we are at the beginning of real trouble, and we have to get serious, and we have to know how to vote, because things are not going to get easier from here. They're going to get harder, because this is happening to the entire Western world, and the Eastern world is not in good shape either.

Can you put up the video of the students, I think it was cut for the students around the school with the Palestinian flags, what's happening in France is this is the Green-Red Alliance, and the Green is Islam, and Islam is taking a backseat in France, but it is still part of it, and it is all about free Palestine, and so many people are being deceived on this, and it's important that you're not. Friday night at Gillette Stadium, Zach Bryan walked out on stage in a T-shirt with sleeves cut off across the front. It says, free Palestine and underneath a pine tree, and four words, an appeal to heaven. He wore that same shirt again on Saturday in front of 73,000 people. I hope he washed it. Biggest crowd that the stadium has ever held. Members of his band wore Palestinian jerseys. Same stadium whose owner kept Macklemore off of Ed Sheeran's stage about a month ago. Now, he hasn't explained it. He hasn't said anything, but he doesn't have to.

The shirt has two sentences on it, and they're arguing with each other. But Zach Bryan, no offense to him, is not well-educated enough to understand they're diametrically opposed to each other. So he served eight years in the United States Navy. I don't think he's a bad man. I don't think he's anything but a patriot. I don't. He just doesn't know what he's doing, because he can't put those two things on the same shirt and have them make sense. They're diametrically opposed. So, let me show you how we've been here before. What is the appeal to heaven? That's the white flag, appeal to heaven, with the pine tree on it. What is that?

We've been here before, a people with no court on earth to hear them, asking whether they had the right to fight, whether they had a right to live and be free on land. October 1775, George Washington has the British bottled up in Boston, no Navy, we have no Navy. So, he rents a few fishing schooners out of Marblehead, and he's going to grab the British supply ships, but they need a flag. They don't have one. So, his own secretary says, white flag, green pine tree, and those four words, appeal to heaven. Three words, appeal to heaven. No, appeal to it. And appeal to, I don't remember. Anyway, that's what it says. Massachusetts, they keep them on their maritime flag until 1971 It's a well-known flag. The words come from John Locke, the philosopher. The founders read this guy like a manual, okay? And Locke asked a simple question. Can a people and a man ruling them have a quarrel? There's no court on earth that can settle that because the ruling guy owns the court. So how do you do it? Who judges this? Locke's answer comes from the scriptures, and it was, you appeal to heaven. And to show what he meant, he didn't reach for Greece or Rome. He reached for the book of judges. There's a man named Jephthah in the scriptures. He's an outcast, he's a son of a harlot. He's thrown out by his own brothers. Then the Ammonites march on Israel, and the same elders who ran him off come begging him to lead. And the first thing he does is not fight. He writes a letter. The king of Ammon says, give me back my land. And Jephthah says, well, wait, wait, wait, wait, we didn't take it from you. We've lived here for 300 years. Why didn't you say anything until now? You're marching an army on us. And he closes the letter by saying, the Lord, the judge, be judged this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon. That's the original appeal to heaven. So it comes from Jewish writings and Jewish history, kind of hard to make that work with the Palestinian thing. But anyway, he chooses this, okay? That's why it ends up on Washington's flag. A leader of Israel asking God to judge whether his people had the right to stand on their own land against a neighbor who wanted them gone. So Zach is wearing that on the chest, and it works. But not underneath free Palestine. Cause let me read that sentence the way the loudest voices read it. In 2017, Hamas rewrote its charter. 2017, it rejects any alternative to the liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea. The Jordan to the Mediterranean. River to the sea. You have to understand that means there is no Israel. There is not a Jew from Jordan to the Mediterranean. Hamas chan... Everybody's talking about a two-state solution. Hamas does not want one.
