I have a similar backstory, mh grandparents are survivors of Treblinka extermination camp. After finishing school i went to join a kibbutz where i did my service. When i returned i worked in the US and UK where i started to see the reality of how many see Jews and the importance of Am Y'srael is paramount. Non Jews will never understand it as much but Israel feels like you are with family, we are all tied to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, it feels like home
Hamas killed 53 Americans on Oct 7th and are still holding 8 Americans hostage. Thats all I need to know. Isreal may not be perfect but they aren't going around murdering Americans. Americans should support the safety of our own people especially civilians who were killed for the "crime" of going to a music concert.
@@c1arkj I'll hold my breath for these Israeli "Americans" to lobby for some of the obscene amounts we give to israel to start going to needy americans for once (we are in a housing crisis). seems like much much more emphasis is put on israeli than american in that equation.
How about the Americans (Palestinian Americans) in Gaza? How about the Hostage Americans whose lives are endangered by indiscriminate Israeli bombing of civilians? How about an American investigation of who actually killed those Americans on October 7th? Ask these questions! Or do we have types of Americans some worthy and others not? Why are we celebrating Americans fighting for ANOTHER COUNTRY! Make Israel an American state and let’s apply the constitution there too! Otherwise they’re a separate country that we assist but not do its bidding.
The first amendment protects you from the government not from private organizations and individual backlash. The problem is that the universities regularly restrict speech just not when it comes to Jews. Say something about gender transition count to 10 and see how you get expelled.

Used to work at B&H Photo! An amazing store. I believe you’re correct, Andy. It’s still the largest photo/video/audio store in the world. Btw, Blimie is pronounced Bleemee. Comes from the Yiddish word ‘bleem’ (transliterated), meaning flower.
After WWII, modern day Israel was a part of the British Mandate for Palestine. In 1948, Israel declared independence and was recognized by the majority of the countries in the UN. It was immediately attacked by Palestinian terrorists, Trans Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and others. The UN mandated borders stayed the same until 1967 when Israel responded to ongoing attacks from the same countries and the PLO.
That’s not accurate: the UN proposed a “partition” plan, which of course Palestine rejected … and then David Ben-Gurion just unilaterally declared Israel a state. Just made it up. Of course British colonizing Palestine, and issuing the absolutely illegal Balfour Declaration, certainly paved the way for this. And of course the indigenous Palestinians are immediately deemed “terrorists”? That’s some sh*t right there. Do you want to talk about how the UN views Israel now? It’s an occupying force, and as such Palestine has a right to try to expel that force by any means necessary. Israel are the terrorists here.
You forgot to mention the USS liberty being attacked on purpose by Israel to draw us into the middle east. You also forgot to mention how Netanyahu drug us into Iraq and Afghanistan after testifying in congress
In 1948, newly immigrated European terrorists annexed land from the native Palestinians. They had the right to be attacked in defense of justice. 1967 was a war waged by Israel, don’t sugar coat it.
B&H is owned by Hasidic Jews. They were my biggest customer when I worked in the broadcast industry for a battery manufacture. The owners had a diamond mining business and where told to start a business that would loss money and now it’s worth $4 billion
It is sad but true. Any time someone brings up Israel as a subject the critics come out of the walls. I also find it amusing that people comment on here about being fair and balanced. It's Andy's to do with as he pleases, to bring on people who make the conversation interesting. That is his prerogative. That said, there are facts that were raised in the comments (some need an answer): 1. Israel's strike on the USS Liberty in the sixties. (Yes, over fifty years ago. Some of you folks are as bad as the Iranians. Never let anything go. It sucks, and they got away with it. Move on.) 2. Hamas kills innocent civilians as a matter of policy, then cries when the same happens to them. I believe the US did something similar in WWII. I also believe we did the same to Iran. I know what we did to Wagner. I believe the term used was 'disproportional'. If someone came to your town and killed a couple thousand people, took some hostages, and then hid behind women and children you would want the response to be 'disproportional'. Oh yeah. 9/11. They killed 3000 that day, another 6-7000 during the war. And what has been the negative population density of Iraq and Afghanistan? 3. Israel was given the land by the UN after WWII after the Holocaust. Then they had to hold it. Only a few countries helped them to survive. The US was one of them. We haven't stopped helping them. Doubt we will. 4. Hamas was voted in. If you vote in CRAZY that is what you get. If you are American and choose to stand there, despite your best intentions, that is where you chose to stand. Own it. If you are standing at the Rafah Gate, American passport in hand, and expect special treatment because of it you are mistaken. You weren't kidnapped. You volunteered. People are responsible for their actions. Andy brought on someone who could speak to the Israeli side of things because of his knowledge and he is a friend. Cleared Hot is not a source of journalism. It is a source of human perspective, mostly from people inside the military community, the people who have carried guns in defense of their nation and what they believe to be true. The problem remains that some people believe the world is balanced. It is not. It is an unbalanced spinning plate twenty feet up a 1/4" diameter pole, being maintained by a committee of people who can't decide what color the pole is. I am just thankful there are people like Andy at least trying to get us to look at the plate that may fall upon our heads. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As a complete aside, those of us who live in the Northeast would really appreciate a BRCC coffee shop and store here.

Andy, I’m a huge fan of the podcast. I know the assassination attempt is not the main topic of this episode, but that it’s about Richard. Nonetheless, I thought I’d ask this… On your last full auto Friday, one of the questions was “Do you think that the assassination attempt was an inside job?” And you seemed to answer the question like the intent would have came from Trump’s campaign. Have you considered the possibility that the attempt was an “inside job” but one that came from Trump’s political opponents? I enjoyed the episode. Thank you
Andy are you ok with the us government spending such vast sums on a foreign nation while we have so many homeless veterans at home? even Shawn Ryan is coming out asking why are we funding a foreign nation's wars, jocko to is asking questions. doesnt America and Americans also deserve some of thier own hard earned tax dollars? or does that only belong to people with the power to lobby for control of our government?
I am certainly not ok with the amount of money that the US sends to fund foriegn conflicts while stepping over or ignoring problems we have in nearly every city in this country.
Having watched many of the previous podcast with veterans I think Andy echoes this sentiment regularly to be honest. And I’m not a U.S. citizen, things are much worse across the pond.
False analogy because even if we weren't involved in foreign wars are you naive enough to think that money would be allocated to vets? Tax dollars on foreign wars goes mostly to subsidies for weapon manufacturers
@@Mandems973 arabs, jews and everything in between live together in Israel, if you are going to throw a term around at least know what it means and use your words like a fully functional human
Nah just Americans with freedom of speech who are within their rights to criticize a foreign Country whom we’ve given over 310 billion in aid to at the expense of generations of taxpayers.
What a page turner. This time below your normally funny, dynamic, sensitive, interesting, brave, inspiring, unique and entertaining podcasts. All misery ends up in Tel Aviv.. Why go there.?
@@sandrakohorst8706 No, if you are aware about history seen from the "old" world (Europe perspective), this kind of bla, bla, is only PC nonsense. No new dimensions will be added into the real hard core history,. Nothing will change in and around Israel,. These people still lives, always will live within their "bubble"., until it blows,, cracks, and all denying souls will wake up to their illusion saying. - everybody hates them.,. Only cause they still believe there is one God,. And that one (hiding forever), only loves them. Such a sad story.
I can't say I know much about them. I see a youtube video from time to time in my feed but often don't click on it. As with most things, there is probably a very good time and place, and a place where they are not helping anything and are likely the worst enemy to their own position.
No one cares, guys. truly, no one gives a single fuck that you losers aren’t going to watch lmao. You know damn well Andy doesn’t give a fuck either. You won’t be missed, dorks.
Andy Acting like he knows nothing about sports and then drops a lil hint with the man & zone defense. Either hes a incognito coach or he's played Madden in years past. 😂
I just read an article about the more than 19,000 children that have lost one or both parents since the conflict flared up 10 months ago. I thought you were more nuanced and thoughtful of a person, Andy, to understand that this conflict is very complex and neither side are “the good guys.” Disappointing, honestly.
@@dogbert52 not sure how an attack that killed a thousand people justifies killing 40x that number. But you don’t seem to be too logical in the first place.
@@k.s.9400that's because you obviously don't know anything about asymmetric warfare, or how the Hamas uses billions from not just it's overt financiers, but also billions from international aid to dig tunnels to smuggle anything from weapons and munitions, to fuel and water, purposing all of it to attack Israel, while spending none of that support money on civilian infrastructure, or even shelters, and are intentionally using civilians and civilian facilities like schools and hospitals not just knowing there would be civilian casualties, but counting on that to hide behind (the brave fighters that they are - shielding themselves behind hospital patients and school children). Also - isn't Hamas the one that already said that 1 Israeli is worth at least as much as 3 or even 1,000 (the Gilad Shalit deal) so-called "Palestinians"? So by Hamas' own admission - 1 dead Israeli should result in between 3 to 1,000 dead so-called "Palestinians"? So that's your answer right there. Besides - out of all the causality numbers Hamas ever released - it's always civilians. Only civilians? And who are those Israel killed who were armed and shooting at Israel? Ghosts? Unicorns? And when Hamas uses 14 year old as a fighting and armed terrorist, and that 14 year old is upgraded to meet his 72 virgins (all male virgins, by the way) in heaven - is his death reported as that of a combatant who happened to be 14 years old, or just as a 14 year old kid?
@@andy47456 I don't take it as criticism at all. I am open to talking to anyone, finding the people to talk to is honestly harder than most people would think.
You should praise the valor of those kids who grew up in cages called refugee camp , loosing on daily basis friends and family members, living in tunnels with no supplies and no med evacuation, fighting for the lives of women and children slaughtered on daily basis . With no navy , no air force just a pair of big balls. My wife is Israeli, I lived in Israel , I have many Israeli friend. Everyone knows Gaza is the most surveilled piece of land on earth. Nothing comes out of gaza without Israel knowing. 7th of October was an in side job to create the opportunity of simply kill all the people in gaza. That’s even worst than what the nazi did. Andy I love the way you conduct yourself, I agree with you on so many topics even though I had a very different life. Giving of sided version of a genocide is not helping the listener to make an informed decision
You are half correct. Gaza has been a breeding ground of hatred since Jews were recognized in the nation of Israel. The conditions of Palestinian kids you talk about are all the fault of a culture of hatred and death. They are brainwashed from a young age to blame the Jew. If Oct 7th never happened, the rockets, the suicide bombings, the murder of innocent Jews would have still continued on. If Gazans were to lay down their weapons and teach their children to build rather than destroy, there would be peace tomorrow.
Stupid. Israel has the capability to send Gaza back to the 13th century BC and keep it there forever. If they wanted to kill everyone they would have already done it. Instead, they’ve risked the lives of their soldiers fighting house to house, room to room over the last 11 months to preserve “civilian” life. You claim to have lived in Israel but you obviously didn’t learn shit while there. Looks like you just have an axe to grind.
55:45 that (along with A*itler was also inspired by that certain "religion", as were the k*k i mean look at the name of their first book/one of their first books) its all been inverted onto them. Same way a lot of the current history thats taught in the US, UK etc about "colonialism" has all been inverted with history from another certain region/ppl. Good example the US & slavery, got involved very late for how long it had been going on & did it for the shortest amount of time & there is a large amt of descendants here from it. None of the above is true for the other region its been inverted with which should also be more common knowledge)
@Andy Why don’t you have somebody like Alan Shabaro on, who isn’t a propagandist and a liar like this guy, and who lived in Israel and the West Bank for a decent amount of time and is objective about what he saw with his own eyes! I like your content Andy but your lack of continuity does make it seem like you have un wavering support, just like Tim Kennedy who went to go help Israeli American citizens find bus tickets, when there were literally AMERICAN CITIZENS at the Rafah Crossing trying to escape Israeli bombardment.
So is there going to be anyone representing the Palestinian side? I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been and more than likely the right wing dog whistling while pretending to be open minded will continue.
The "palestinians" have all the media (especially in europe), they have the famous people, they have the colleges, they have everybody with an iq under 50. Pretty much all you can hear is pro-pally crap. So yeah, how are you complaining as soon as there is any jew allowed to speak? Oh yeah, you are a jew hater. Secondly, it's getting harder every day to find a hamas terrorist since they are going the way of the dinosaur.
Why don't you put up a map up on the video that shows Israel borders at the end of WWII and what Israel now perceive to be its borders following all the land grabs. You have to be balanced here and not support one side. We can never expect to have peace in the middle east until Israel stop stealing land or Hama stops attacks, it works both ways but America needs to stop teh unwavering support to Israel when it carries out its own attrocities.
my buddy is lebanese. original zionists literally listed south lebanon as being part of thier state and have invaded and occupied that area numerous times threatening to do so again. what lebanese with even one ml of testosterone would not resist. and of course we are stuck paying for all this crap.enough already
There is no episode that can be perfect or complete. To answer your first sentence, I didn't even think to do so, which is not blind or unwavering support, it just didn't occur to me.
Remember the U.S.S Liberty. Andy these Navy and Marine vets have been trying to tell their story for almost 60 years. Unfortunately some individuals refuse to listen to the few survivors that are left.
But also like to point out when they’re talking about the size of the people protecting Trump. Get rid of all your woke arguments and just think about this. Andy used to work for a fitness organization. CrossFit. Can he honestly say that he’s never met women of the frame of those women that could lift and carry someone Trump sides? Granite the girl that works at the local Walmart probably can’t. Maybe your wife can’t. But go to CrossFit gym and look at the top three women in that gym. And tell me 2 to 3 of those women could not carry 250 pounds, 100 feet. I’m not saying these women could. I’m not saying that they’re hiring wasn’t based on some ideology. But to simply and only judge by gender and size that is hidden underneath sport coats and flats does not seem fair. For as the competency of the people. It’s most likely. This is the first time they’ve been in a live fire situation. Here’s where I would say that no matter what your strength is no one should be guarding a high value target that doesn’t has not been under fire. Gonna hire a woman they should someone capable and talk to her Competitor responder experience if not, haven’t been involved in live fire situation
where do you think islamaphobia comes from ... hint...Hamas / Hezbullah / Islamic Jihad / Al Aqua Martyrs Brigade / Lions Den / PLO / PFLP ... and whats the one thing they all have in common ...HMMM i wounder ??????????
I would suggest just moving along then. It takes less time to unfollow, or just continue to move along in your feed than it does to make the comment you did. Vote with your wallet, buy the product, support the brand and me, or don't. There are zero tears shed either way, as that is the world we live in. Your life will be better when you find a way to not engage in negativity and just move on.

Having watched many of the previous podcast with veterans I think Andy echoes this sentiment regularly to be honest. And I’m not a U.S. citizen, things are much worse across the pond.
Right!! Biden is funding the taliban in Afghanistan!!! Why???
False analogy because even if we weren't involved in foreign wars are you naive enough to think that money would be allocated to vets? Tax dollars on foreign wars goes mostly to subsidies for weapon manufacturers
Good.
Brilliant podcast love it, very informative...

This poadcast is very interesting with Richard
Is Richard middle eastern, I think he is American. Or, am i an antisemite for noticing that?

What a page turner. This time below your normally funny, dynamic, sensitive, interesting, brave, inspiring, unique and entertaining podcasts. All misery ends up in Tel Aviv.. Why go there.?
Because we want and need to hear it. Pretty simple.
@@sandrakohorst8706 No, if you are aware about history seen from the "old" world (Europe perspective), this kind of bla, bla, is only PC nonsense. No new dimensions will be added into the real hard core history,. Nothing will change in and around Israel,. These people still lives, always will live within their "bubble"., until it blows,, cracks, and all denying souls will wake up to their illusion saying. - everybody hates them.,. Only cause they still believe there is one God,. And that one (hiding forever), only loves them. Such a sad story.

Andy must have been jacked on coffee this day! They are all over the place, hard to listen to.
Don't forget the "what do we do?" from the female agent.....total joke.....
Great episode! Enjoyed every minute

Question, what’s your opinion on first amendment auditors, righteous or nuisance?
I can't say I know much about them. I see a youtube video from time to time in my feed but often don't click on it. As with most things, there is probably a very good time and place, and a place where they are not helping anything and are likely the worst enemy to their own position.
Needed. Law enforcement aren't properly informed, and they walk all over everyone's rights on a daily.
Understandable.
Yeah, ill fucking pass.
Same
No one cares, guys. truly, no one gives a single fuck that you losers aren’t going to watch lmao. You know damn well Andy doesn’t give a fuck either. You won’t be missed, dorks.
Same, glorifying Apartheid states is not a good look.
We all know why Trump was on the podium for 2 minutes.
Andy Acting like he knows nothing about sports and then drops a lil hint with the man & zone defense. Either hes a incognito coach or he's played Madden in years past. 😂
I have a feeling most of the critics here made their comments before actually watching the video.
right meow 😂
I just read an article about the more than 19,000 children that have lost one or both parents since the conflict flared up 10 months ago. I thought you were more nuanced and thoughtful of a person, Andy, to understand that this conflict is very complex and neither side are “the good guys.” Disappointing, honestly.
Israel is the good ❤❤
What happend on october 7th? Who "flared up"?
@@dogbert52 not sure how an attack that killed a thousand people justifies killing 40x that number. But you don’t seem to be too logical in the first place.
@@k.s.9400that's because you obviously don't know anything about asymmetric warfare, or how the Hamas uses billions from not just it's overt financiers, but also billions from international aid to dig tunnels to smuggle anything from weapons and munitions, to fuel and water, purposing all of it to attack Israel, while spending none of that support money on civilian infrastructure, or even shelters, and are intentionally using civilians and civilian facilities like schools and hospitals not just knowing there would be civilian casualties, but counting on that to hide behind (the brave fighters that they are - shielding themselves behind hospital patients and school children).
Also - isn't Hamas the one that already said that 1 Israeli is worth at least as much as 3 or even 1,000 (the Gilad Shalit deal) so-called "Palestinians"?
So by Hamas' own admission - 1 dead Israeli should result in between 3 to 1,000 dead so-called "Palestinians"? So that's your answer right there. Besides - out of all the causality numbers Hamas ever released - it's always civilians. Only civilians? And who are those Israel killed who were armed and shooting at Israel? Ghosts? Unicorns? And when Hamas uses 14 year old as a fighting and armed terrorist, and that 14 year old is upgraded to meet his 72 virgins (all male virgins, by the way) in heaven - is his death reported as that of a combatant who happened to be 14 years old, or just as a 14 year old kid?

Hey Andy do you think 27 is too old to give BUDS a shot?
@Andy good of you to have a Pro-Israel guest on but have a Palestinian guest too.
although that is easy for you to type, it is much harder in reality to find said guest than you may think.
@@ClearedHotPodcast I hear you maybe have someone on Skype. I'm a fan it's not a criticism.
@@andy47456 I don't take it as criticism at all. I am open to talking to anyone, finding the people to talk to is honestly harder than most people would think.
@@ClearedHotPodcastTheo Von had Palestinian Bassem Youssef on.
@@canyoncajunYes, Bassem is wonderful. He'd be a great 'counter argument' to this guest and I bet he'd be game.
Yeah i really am so removed that i dont have much of a opinion and if they want the us to join them i suggest lies stop .
You should praise the valor of those kids who grew up in cages called refugee camp , loosing on daily basis friends and family members, living in tunnels with no supplies and no med evacuation, fighting for the lives of women and children slaughtered on daily basis . With no navy , no air force just a pair of big balls.
My wife is Israeli, I lived in Israel , I have many Israeli friend. Everyone knows Gaza is the most surveilled piece of land on earth. Nothing comes out of gaza without Israel knowing. 7th of October was an in side job to create the opportunity of simply kill all the people in gaza. That’s even worst than what the nazi did. Andy I love the way you conduct yourself, I agree with you on so many topics even though I had a very different life. Giving of sided version of a genocide is not helping the listener to make an informed decision
You are half correct. Gaza has been a breeding ground of hatred since Jews were recognized in the nation of Israel. The conditions of Palestinian kids you talk about are all the fault of a culture of hatred and death. They are brainwashed from a young age to blame the Jew. If Oct 7th never happened, the rockets, the suicide bombings, the murder of innocent Jews would have still continued on. If Gazans were to lay down their weapons and teach their children to build rather than destroy, there would be peace tomorrow.
Stupid. Israel has the capability to send Gaza back to the 13th century BC and keep it there forever. If they wanted to kill everyone they would have already done it. Instead, they’ve risked the lives of their soldiers fighting house to house, room to room over the last 11 months to preserve “civilian” life. You claim to have lived in Israel but you obviously didn’t learn shit while there. Looks like you just have an axe to grind.
How on earth does it take you from July 13th to produce this video?
It doesn't take that long. The delay means that I had other episodes already filmed and ready to release.
@@ClearedHotPodcast This was seems kinda important when you are discussing an assassination attempt!!!
You were shaped like a pear. 😂
I just cannot understand the hatred people have to Israel…
Yeah, it is hard to understand how massacring 40 000 civilians would make the world hate you.
@@Bilangumus Or the Epstein Island Mossad pedo blackmail operation, or bribing our congress. Israel just uses us.

You mean like this guest?
There never was and never will be a Palestinian people, state or anything. You’re welcome to fact check me
Jewish semantics and quasi-legalistic pilpul. Nice one, shlomo.
55:45 that (along with A*itler was also inspired by that certain "religion", as were the k*k i mean look at the name of their first book/one of their first books) its all been inverted onto them. Same way a lot of the current history thats taught in the US, UK etc about "colonialism" has all been inverted with history from another certain region/ppl. Good example the US & slavery, got involved very late for how long it had been going on & did it for the shortest amount of time & there is a large amt of descendants here from it. None of the above is true for the other region its been inverted with which should also be more common knowledge)
@Andy Why don’t you have somebody like Alan Shabaro on, who isn’t a propagandist and a liar like this guy, and who lived in Israel and the West Bank for a decent amount of time and is objective about what he saw with his own eyes!
I like your content Andy but your lack of continuity does make it seem like you have un wavering support, just like Tim Kennedy who went to go help Israeli American citizens find bus tickets, when there were literally AMERICAN CITIZENS at the Rafah Crossing trying to escape Israeli bombardment.
F this liar. Israel has been responsible for American deaths since 1948. Do some reading.
So is there going to be anyone representing the Palestinian side? I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been and more than likely the right wing dog whistling while pretending to be open minded will continue.
The "palestinians" have all the media (especially in europe), they have the famous people, they have the colleges, they have everybody with an iq under 50. Pretty much all you can hear is pro-pally crap. So yeah, how are you complaining as soon as there is any jew allowed to speak? Oh yeah, you are a jew hater.
Secondly, it's getting harder every day to find a hamas terrorist since they are going the way of the dinosaur.
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Why don't you put up a map up on the video that shows Israel borders at the end of WWII and what Israel now perceive to be its borders following all the land grabs. You have to be balanced here and not support one side. We can never expect to have peace in the middle east until Israel stop stealing land or Hama stops attacks, it works both ways but America needs to stop teh unwavering support to Israel when it carries out its own attrocities.
my buddy is lebanese. original zionists literally listed south lebanon as being part of thier state and have invaded and occupied that area numerous times threatening to do so again. what lebanese with even one ml of testosterone would not resist. and of course we are stuck paying for all this crap.enough already
There is no episode that can be perfect or complete. To answer your first sentence, I didn't even think to do so, which is not blind or unwavering support, it just didn't occur to me.
@@ClearedHotPodcast it's basically, oh you have the license to steal People's homes. Right 😂
@@Vladimir_Putin012 I'm not following your comment? Who has a license to steal homes?

Palestine 🤮🤮🤮
In Ref to the agent hiding. At least she was between where the shooter was and Trump.
But also like to point out when they’re talking about the size of the people protecting Trump. Get rid of all your woke arguments and just think about this. Andy used to work for a fitness organization. CrossFit. Can he honestly say that he’s never met women of the frame of those women that could lift and carry someone Trump sides? Granite the girl that works at the local Walmart probably can’t. Maybe your wife can’t. But go to CrossFit gym and look at the top three women in that gym. And tell me 2 to 3 of those women could not carry 250 pounds, 100 feet. I’m not saying these women could. I’m not saying that they’re hiring wasn’t based on some ideology. But to simply and only judge by gender and size that is hidden underneath sport coats and flats does not seem fair. For as the competency of the people. It’s most likely. This is the first time they’ve been in a live fire situation. Here’s where I would say that no matter what your strength is no one should be guarding a high value target that doesn’t has not been under fire. Gonna hire a woman they should someone capable and talk to her Competitor responder experience if not, haven’t been involved in live fire situation
41:30 “Anti Israel is also anti semitism”. “Where do you think it comes from” (antisemitism). Hmmm I wonder
