Here's Patrick Bet-David on his podcast a day or two ago. Watch this.

**Patrick Bet-David** (0:05)
I don't know why Catholics have this issue with Jews. I don't know what it is. They have this, you know, I don't, listen, I get the Jews have issues with Christians, and they'll make fun, and they'll say stuff like, oh, your Jesus is gonna, you know, they'll say, well, he was a Jew anyways, right?
But then Catholics have that issue with Jews, and they act like, you know, they're all innocent and everything. And when you look at Catholics, the amount of centralized power they have, centralized, if you, you know what the total Catholic population is worldwide? It's like one, two, one, three, billion. Jews are 15 million, but Jews are decentralized, meaning Catholic, Jews don't have somebody they listen to that says, hey, you better do this.
Catholics, God forbid, you say something about the Pope. They're like, hey, man, listen, who is that Pope figure in the Christian community? We don't have one. If I ask you right now, who's the Pope in the Christian community? You don't have somebody to look at. Who is a witch pastor?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:08)
Yeah, exactly.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:08)
No, we don't have one.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:09)
It's an independent network. It's just the Bible.

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:11)
So if you look at it, only Catholics and Muslims have somebody that they look at as their supreme leader. You got to go to somebody. But even more, it's Catholic.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:23)
Well, there's only two theocracies in the world.
Catholicism and Islam. I'm sorry, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Vatican. Those are the two major theocracies.

**Tucker Carlson** (1:37)
So actually, the Vatican is very much like the Nazi Iranian government, the theocratic government, the mullahs, it's all basically the same. They've got the complicated dress, they hate the Jews, as Patrick Bet-David just said. Catholics have a problem with the Jews, a problem with the Jews.
It's slander. It's an attack on the world's largest and oldest Christian denomination and it's taking place openly. And it's all coming from the same source, which is Israel. The issue is Israel. Anyone who supports the Netanyahu government, not Israel as a concept, not all Jews, no, the Netanyahu government, anyone who ratifies every decision, no matter how violent or grotesque or genocidal of the Netanyahu government, those are the good people. And anyone who doesn't is a Nazi. And by the way, their religion itself is a Nazi religion. It's an inherently anti-Semitic religion.

**Patrick Bet-David** (2:45)
So Tucker, it's interesting. I watched this video a few times and respectfully, I want to respond to you because you're a formidable voice. Whether I agree with you or not, you're somebody that's very good at getting your message out there. And I think at this point, I don't know if there's anybody that believes in your ability. It's a guy like this, who after I sold my company, I gave, offered you a hundred million dollar contract. I even went on your friend Megyn Kelly's show when I announced it, and she was asking specific questions. I said, yep, we went to your house, we made the offer, then we spent some time together. I came to Maine and we did your show and we've had a couple of good conversations together. So I believe in you. I think you're funny, quirky, very good communication and you have your way of doing things.
You do twist words a lot and I noticed you did that with me. He hates Catholics. He hates this. Catholics hate the Jews and all the stuff that you did. It's a little bit of your shtick which I give. But let me get into a few things I want to address with you in this video. Maybe you're not aware of it. Few things you need to know about me. My number one priority is to make sure America stays as the greatest country in the world. Period. Full stop. I'm America first. I'm a Christian, non-denominational Christian that you need to know about me. And by the way, I'm Armenian, which by the way, the first nation that accepted Christianity as their religion was Armenians. And the only ones that debate Armenians on them being first is Assyrians. And my dad is Assyrian. Maybe that's the reason why my parents divorced each other twice, married each other and divorced each other. So Armenian, Assyrian, Christian, America first. I want this thing to be the greatest country in the world. I want capitalism to be common sense for everybody to realize that if a new person wants to come up and have their dreams become a reality, I want that to be out there. But I wonder if that's where you are today.
