00:00 I want to do better and I'd like you to be my partner in this.
00:04 If we treat each other in an antagonistic way, we are not going to solve the problems
00:09 that are facing the country and I hope I answered all your questions.
00:12 >> Personally, I don't think that I was being antagonistic.
00:16 >> I didn't accuse you of that.
00:17 I just said of Americans.
00:18 >> And also, I personally think that like the fact that you say that the eradication
00:27 of Hamas is it -- I don't understand how Hamas can be eradicated while we're watching thousands
00:36 of children die and then you can continue to say that without calling for a ceasefire.
00:41 Three -- over 3,000 children have died.
00:45 Most of the civilian -- most of the casualties in Gaza right now are children and women.
00:52 And so by you saying all that makes me think that it's a very flagrant way of you saying
00:57 that you don't care that their lives matter.
00:59 And that's my opinion.
01:01 But it feels very disingenuous what you said.
01:05 And I personally am -- I'm willing to listen to you.
01:09 Hopefully, you can change your mind.
01:11 >> Change my mind about what?
01:12 >> Just your position on Palestine.
01:16 I would want you to call for a ceasefire.
01:18 You haven't even been able to say the word tonight.
01:22 I'm calling for the elimination of a terrorist organization
01:24 that just butchered 1,900 Israelis including babies and children.
01:28 And I'm also --
01:29 >> We're thousands.
01:29 >> Okay.
01:30 >> Palestinians and children have died.
01:32 >> I think it is sickening.
01:34 I am sickened and disgusted and I just told you --
01:36 >> You can't call out the Israeli government for bombs.
01:38 >> I am calling out the Israeli government.
01:40 I'm --
01:40 >> And the WG hospital?
01:41 >> Okay, the U.S. bombs.
01:43 That's the fucking problem.
01:45 >> Thank you.
01:45 Thank you.
01:46 >> Look at -- no, no, no, no, no.
01:48 That's -- you guys -- you guys.
01:50 This is what America needs to do more of.
01:52 Face to face instead of through screens.
01:54 Yeah, no, no, that's -- and I don't -- no, no apology necessary.
01:57 I think what you just said is true.
01:58 Right? Remember -- no, no, no, hey.
02:00 Yeah. Hey.
02:01 Okay, everybody.
02:02 Look at -- all I ask is just kindness and respect to one another.
02:08 All of us.
02:09 I respect you.
02:10 I'm sorry?
02:11 >> You literally --
02:11 >> He asked you a question.
02:13 >> And you got an answer to it.
02:14 >> I'm being --
02:15 >> You got a gas litter instead.
02:16 >> Yes.
02:16 >> I what?
02:16 >> You gas litter instead of answering.
02:18 >> A gas litter?
02:19 Really? I --
02:20 >> You did.
02:20 >> Yes, you did.
02:21 Thank you.
02:21 >> Okay. Okay.
02:21 Everybody. Everybody.
02:23 I respect --
02:24 >> You're fucking bull.
02:25 >> I respect you.
02:26 >> This is so fucking embarrassing for you.
02:28 >> Okay.
02:29 >> You want to make it seem like it's embarrassing for me.
02:31 >> Embarrassing.
02:31 >> 10,000 people in California have died.
02:33 >> And I care about every one of those lives.
02:34 And I respect you.
02:35 >> Because if you did --
02:36 >> So let me answer your question.
02:38 >> -- call for a ceasefire.
02:38 >> About bombs and missiles.
02:39 >> You always do it.
02:40 You always call for a ceasefire.
02:41 >> The bombs and missiles.
02:42 >> Call for a ceasefire.
02:43 >> Can I just -- I'm trying to be --
02:45 I'm trying to answer another person's question.
02:46 >> Thank you.
02:47 >> Call for a ceasefire.
02:48 >> I'm calling for the elimination
02:51 of a terrorist organization that will --
02:52 >> At the expense of children's lives.
02:55 At the expense of children's lives.
02:58 At the expense of children's lives.
03:01 >> You're right.
03:02 >> Please be so serious.
03:03 Be so serious right now.
03:05 This is at the expense of children's lives.
03:07 >> And that's why I care -- that's why this has got to end.
03:10 And by the way --
03:10 >> That's why you need to call for a ceasefire.
03:12 Because children's lives matter.
03:15 >> Yes, they do.
03:15 >> The children of Gaza matter.
03:17 >> And the children of Israel matter.
03:18 >> So stand there.
03:18 >> And the children of Israel matter,
03:20 which has not come out of your mouth.
03:21 >> I didn't say that.
03:22 >> So, sir, where did he just go?
03:23 >> Thank you.
03:24 He left.
03:24 >> I wanted to address his question.
03:26 >> Thank you very much.
03:27 >> I want to address his question.
03:28 >> Thank you very much.
