Transcript [00:00] huge update about Saudi Arabia and the [00:03] war with Iran. I put out a video [00:05] yesterday where I focused in on Saudi [00:08] Arabia and how they've been playing [00:09] this. If you haven't seen that video [00:12] yet, go and watch that video. Um, I'm [00:15] not saying stop this one and watch it [00:17] first, but you should you should make [00:18] sure to see what I said there about [00:20] Saudi Arabia and what we're looking for [00:22] downrange in terms of their behavior and [00:24] what that bodess for the future of the [00:26] outcomes of this war. So massive update. [00:29] Let's get right to it. A lot to talk [00:31] about on the Saudi Arabia Iran front. So [00:36] uh here we go. Let's just hit it. So [00:38] here is a breaking story. Iran hit Saudi [00:41] Arabia today. Uh and this is and this [00:44] strike was at the Rast Tanura refinery. [00:48] Okay. Okay. The Rastanura complex houses [00:50] one of the Middle East's largest [00:51] refineries with a capacity of 550,000 [00:54] barrels per day and serves as a critical [00:57] export terminal for Saudi crude oil. [01:00] Saudi Arabia's state oil giant Aramco [01:03] shut its Rastanura refinery following a [01:06] drone strike. Okay. Um [01:11] and that's obviously huge. Iran is [01:13] striking Saudi assets here. Uh and it [01:16] says that they shut it down. The attack [01:18] on Saudi Arabia's Rastina refinery marks [01:20] a significant escalation with Gulf [01:23] energy infrastructure now squarely in [01:25] Iran's sights, said Torbjorn Sultvet, [01:29] principal Middle East analyst at risk [01:30] intelligence firm Versik Mabelcraftoft. [01:35] Okay. And so we saw that uh and that [01:39] looks what what that signals is that [01:41] Saudi Arabia looks like it will be [01:44] joining the war. And in response to [01:47] this, we have the Saudis. There was a [01:50] limited fire at Rosanur refinery brought [01:52] under control following debris from [01:54] intercepted drones. And what that means [01:57] is that the the Saudis then responded by [02:00] summoning the Iranian ambassador. Saudi [02:03] Arabia's ministry of foreign affairs [02:05] summoned Iran's ambassador to the [02:07] kingdom [02:09] uh Ali ambassador to the kingdom Ali Rza [02:12] and Aayadi on Sunday following what it [02:14] described as Iranian attacks targeting [02:16] Saudi Arabia and several neighboring [02:18] countries. During the meeting, Deputy [02:20] Foreign Minister Wed Eli conveyed the [02:23] kingdom's strong dissatisfaction and [02:25] condem and condemnation of the attacks. [02:28] the Saudi press agency reported. He [02:30] stressed Saudi Arabia's firm rejection [02:32] of any violations of state sovereignty, [02:35] warning that such actions undermine [02:37] regional security and stability. He also [02:39] said the kingdom would take all [02:40] necessary measures to defend its [02:42] security and protect its territory. The [02:44] summons comes amid rising regional [02:46] tensions following reported Iranian [02:48] actions targeting Saudi Arabia and Gulf [02:50] States. The Iranians have been attacking [02:53] Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States. And [02:55] Saudi Arabia is now uh just basically [02:59] saying that they're going to be entering [03:00] the war. And in that previous video, I [03:03] talked about the fact that before this [03:04] war, Saudi Arabia was publicly signaling [03:07] that they were opposed to US attacks on [03:09] the Iranian regime. They had pivoted [03:11] against Israel over the previous six [03:13] months to a year away from normalization [03:16] with Israel ever since October 7th. And [03:19] now it looks like they're about to join [03:21] a war against the Iranians. The Iranians [03:24] um yeah, the Iranians kind of messed up [03:26] here. But let's take a look at a couple [03:28] clips from an interview with Brett Bear [03:31] on the Fox uh on on Fox News from [03:34] yesterday. And he and he had some [03:37] interesting insights about Iran. So um [03:41] I'm sorry, I'm sorry about Saudi Arabia. [03:43] Brett Bear. So there's two clips here [03:45] that are part of the same interview. [03:47] Here's the first one. [03:48] editor Brett Bayer. Uh so great to see [03:51] you this morning, Brett. You know, um [03:53] Jennifer just reported on uh that that [03:56] story in the Washington Post about [03:59] whether or not uh the Saudi Arabia was [04:01] influential in sort of pushing this um [04:04] this strike to begin with. Um but [04:07] whatever whe however true or untrue that [04:10] story is, it's safe to say that um that [04:14] that Iran has spectacularly [04:17] miscalculated [04:19] the their uh the reaction of their [04:22] allies in or not their allies but their [04:25] neighbors in the Middle East and how [04:27] they would respond to all of this. [04:30] >> Oh, 100%. Uh good morning. I I think [04:33] that the Gulf Arab allies, our allies, [04:36] um and you're talking about UAE, Saudi [04:39] Arabia, um you're talking about Qatar, [04:42] Oman, um even you can get to Kuwait. [04:45] They have all been hit uh pretty hard uh [04:48] with multiple uh strikes from Iran since [04:51] this this started. They were privately [04:54] uh behind the effort um publicly putting [04:58] out distancing statements as they often [05:00] do. Uh but since the attacks it has [05:03] stiffened the spine of the Gulf Arab [05:06] allies. In fact the UAE just put out [05:08] that uh their air defense has dealt with [05:10] 165 ballistic missiles, two cruise [05:12] missiles and 541 drones since the start [05:16] of this operation. They've put most of [05:18] those down, but some of them, as we've [05:20] seen, have hit civilian areas, including [05:22] a hotel. Well, that has given the GCC, [05:25] the Gulf States, uh really this backbone [05:30] uh to stand firm and say an attack of [05:33] one of us is an attack on all of us and [05:35] they're standing with the US and Israel. [05:37] >> You know, I love how [05:39] >> so that was the first clip where they [05:40] asked Brett about Saudi Arabia. So, you [05:44] see what he said there. He's just [05:45] pointing out just the uh the [05:48] miscalculation [05:49] that the Iranians made by attacking uh [05:53] the Gulf States, by attacking Saudi [05:54] Arabia. And that was before this attack [05:56] on the refinery that I'm talking about [05:58] that that just happened today. So things [06:01] are really ramping up there. And you [06:04] know, when he's he's talking about like [06:06] how this how they're turning these pe [06:09] these uh the Iranians are turning these [06:11] these Muslim states against them. And [06:14] then and then they went on to talk about [06:15] some domestic issues or or domestic uh [06:18] repercussions of the war. And then a [06:20] little later in the interview they came [06:22] back to the topic of Iran [06:25] >> because I think Charlie we're talking [06:27] about a really significant regional uh [06:30] development in all of this because you [06:33] were talking about the Gulf States and [06:34] whether or not Iran really grossly [06:37] miscalculated by striking our Gulf state [06:40] allies. 66 missiles hit Qatar, 45 on [06:44] Bahrain. And earlier in the show, our [06:48] own Jack Keane, General Jack Keane, uh, [06:51] really says not only are they [06:52] responding, that they may actually get [06:54] into the fight. Listen here to what [06:56] General Keane said. I want to get your [06:58] reaction. [06:59] >> They have expanded into the Gulf States [07:02] and you can see that taking place. The [07:04] Gulf States are adequately defending [07:07] themselves. [07:08] Two of them are, three of them are [07:10] preparing for combat offensive [07:12] operations. One has already started and [07:15] two others are about to get going. This [07:17] backfired on the Iranians. They they [07:19] they thought that this would create an [07:22] international uproar. The war is being [07:25] expanded. It's now a regional war. And [07:28] as such, uh pressure being put on the [07:31] United States and Israelis to bring this [07:33] to a halt. The the Gulf states are [07:36] responding. they're adequately defending [07:38] themselves, but they are frustrated with [07:40] the Iranians. They publicly uh were [07:43] supporting the Iranians and uh resisting [07:46] the strike. Hopefully, they they've [07:48] learned a big lesson here from the [07:50] Iranians. I don't think Brett anyone [07:53] foresaw Gulf States, as you heard from [07:55] General Keane there, if that is indeed [07:57] true, that at least one Gulf state has [08:00] already got into the fight, three others [08:02] with plans to do so. That's quite [08:03] significant. [08:05] >> Yeah. And I've talked to senior [08:06] diplomats overseas that confirm that [08:09] they're they're really united. They're [08:11] really activated. In fact, I talked to a [08:13] senior diplomat up in the United Nations [08:15] uh saying that Bahrain uh who's usually [08:18] a quiet member of the GCC is very [08:21] active. Uh so is UAE, Saudi Arabia, [08:24] they're all united uh because of what [08:28] they saw in response from Iran. So [08:30] you're right, it's a horrible misal [08:32] calculation by Iran and it enables it to [08:35] not just be Iran versus the Zionists and [08:38] the US. Uh it is their Arab neighbors uh [08:42] that are a part of this saying this [08:44] regime uh has made the wrong calculation [08:46] for years. you know, um I'm often [08:49] reminded and especially the last 24 or [08:51] 48 hours of a pretty extraordinary [08:54] interview that you did uh with uh- with [08:58] NBS in the summer before the October 7th [09:02] attacks in which uh he expressed to you [09:04] the interest of Saudi Arabia to [09:07] normalize relations and actually uh as I [09:11] think President Trump has said, come out [09:12] of the chaos and uh find commerce. Um [09:16] there's so much more that's going on [09:17] behind the scenes right now um along [09:20] those lines that is reshaping the Middle [09:22] East uh as the way we have all known it [09:25] for our entire lives as being this uh uh [09:28] you know unstable place where there's [09:31] always a war going on. Um, do you see [09:34] that uh when you kind of put it in that [09:37] larger perspective? Obviously things got [09:39] derailed by October 7th. Uh, but do you [09:42] see those things coming back into focus [09:45] and Saudi Arabia and these other [09:46] countries saying, you know what, we're [09:48] going to normalize relations and [09:50] actually make money here? [09:52] >> Yeah, Charlie, it's a great great [09:53] question. That interview was at the end [09:55] of September 2023 with the Crown Prince [09:58] um NBS in which he said uh we're getting [10:02] closer every day uh to normalization. [10:05] And you know the camera turned off and [10:07] essentially he said no really we we [10:09] really are. And the next day I did an [10:12] interview with the Israeli prime [10:13] minister after he saw the crown prince's [10:15] interview on the sidelines of the UN at [10:18] which the Israeli prime minister said we [10:20] are getting closer every day. And in the [10:22] words of a smart man in the Middle East, [10:24] uh, this could change the face of the [10:26] Middle East. That was seven days before [10:28] October 7th. October 7th changed [10:30] everything. The Hamas attack in Israel, [10:32] it changed the entire dynamic. This [10:35] right now potentially could change [10:38] everything even further. And uh, to your [10:41] point, there is this wish and hunger uh, [10:43] to continue to do this normalization [10:46] effort. And just as we're looking at the [10:48] iceberg above the water, there's a giant [10:51] iceberg below the water of negotiations [10:53] that have been going on, particularly [10:55] with the Trump administration, um, from [10:57] the first to the second. [10:59] >> Yeah, there's no question about it. [11:02] >> Okay, [11:03] did you catch what Brett Bayer just [11:05] said? This is absolutely fascinating. [11:09] Absolutely fascinating. Let me explain. [11:12] You see, before October 7th, where Saudi [11:16] Arabia and Israel were doing the dance [11:18] and they were they were getting close to [11:20] to normalization, [11:23] what would that have meant? [11:25] It would have meant if Israel was [11:28] normalizing with Saudi Arabia, building [11:30] on the Abraham Accords, but taking it to [11:33] like [11:34] many levels beyond, [11:37] what would it have meant in terms of [11:38] where Egypt would align? would they [11:41] probably start cozying up more to Israel [11:43] and and softening some of their [11:45] hostility that has been building over [11:47] the f over the years despite their peace [11:49] treaty and coming more into the [11:51] Saudi/american/Israeli [11:53] orbit. [11:55] That's where the Middle East was going [11:57] if Saudi Arabia is going to normalize [11:59] with Israel. [12:01] And but remember, you still have the [12:02] Assad regime, you still have a powerful [12:04] Iran, you still have Lebanon. [12:06] And Hamas freaks out cuz they they don't [12:11] want this Saudi Arabia Israel [12:14] normalization because the narrative that [12:16] we've been sold or the the talking point [12:18] we were sold that Trump blew up with the [12:20] Abraham Accords was that you cannot have [12:23] peace with between Arab states and [12:24] Israel, between Muslim states and Israel [12:26] until you solve the Palestinian issue. [12:28] Okay? And the Abraham Accords happened [12:34] after the embassy moved to Jerusalem [12:36] sticking and and cutting off aid to the [12:38] Palestinian Authority completely and and [12:40] they didn't get anything they wanted and [12:42] meanwhile the Abraham Accords are are [12:43] going great. Saudi Arabia joins there. [12:46] The Palestinian issue just gets [12:48] completely sidelined in the Middle East. [12:50] Along comes October 7th. October 7th [12:53] blows that all up. Puts the Palestinian [12:56] issue front and center. Israel is is uh [12:58] is fighting Hamas. All the genocide [13:00] narrative, the a lot of the Arab [13:02] countries who were cozying up to Israel [13:04] back off a little bit. Saudi Arabia [13:06] chief among them um and everything that [13:09] happened with world opinion with all [13:11] that, right? You have all of that [13:12] happening and it blows up the [13:14] possibility of normaliz normalization [13:16] with Saudi Arabia, which makes it seem [13:18] like kamas got what they wanted. They [13:22] turned Saudi Arabia against [13:23] normalization with Israel and Saudi [13:25] Arabia had been hardening that position [13:27] in recent months cozying up more to you [13:30] know to the Qatari Turkish axis. Okay. [13:33] Now [13:34] look what happened by Iran [13:39] attacking Saudi Arabia, attacking the [13:41] Gulf States, [13:43] turning them against them. [13:45] By doing this, [13:47] and you'll see, I'm going to show you [13:49] more of how the Saudis are talking in a [13:51] moment. by turning those those Arab [13:54] states, those Muslim states against Iran [13:58] and making them now, if Brett Bayer is [14:01] right and saying, "Hey, wait a second. [14:03] This might lead, you know, now that [14:04] Saudi Arabia is going to be fighting [14:05] alongside the Israelis and the Americans [14:07] against the Iranians and and along with [14:10] the Amiradis also, if this is where [14:12] things are going, then maybe Saudi [14:14] Israeli normalization could be around [14:16] the corner. And if there's Saudi Israeli [14:18] normalization and there's no Iranian [14:20] regime [14:23] and there's no Iranian proxies, there's [14:25] noisbah, there's no there's no Assad [14:27] regime in Syria, [14:29] I mean, talk about marginalizing the [14:31] Palestinian cause, it could be that the [14:34] domino effect of October 7th is such [14:36] that the Palestinian issue becomes [14:38] completely irrelevant. [14:41] If Saudi Arabia returns to the [14:42] normalization negotiating table in the [14:45] wake of this war, this is something that [14:48] we really need to keep an eye on. Okay, [14:52] but let's see some other things here. [14:53] Saudi So, I told you Saudi Arabia [14:55] summoned the Iranian ambassador over the [14:57] attacks. But look at this. [14:59] The Lebanese government imposed an [15:01] immediate ban on military activities. [15:03] Now, this is why is this relevant? [15:06] Because this is a story on the front [15:08] page of Arab news. Look at Arab News. [15:11] Arab News, I've mentioned this before, [15:12] Arab News is a Saudi royal family-owned [15:15] outlet. It's basically regime media, [15:17] okay, in Saudi Arabia. So, by watching [15:20] what they're headlining, what they are [15:22] pushing, what narratives they're [15:24] pushing, we can see where they think [15:26] things are going. So, this the story I [15:28] read you before about Saudi Arabia [15:30] summoning the Iranian ambassador, that [15:32] was also in Arab News in their Japanese [15:34] edition, but still funded by the Saudis. [15:37] Okay? They put this out in in a number [15:39] of different countries, but Saudi Arabia [15:41] summons Iranian ambassador over attacks [15:43] and everything in this was just slamming [15:46] the Iranians. There was no this wasn't [15:47] really a neutral story. It didn't it [15:50] didn't bring uh the defense of the [15:52] Iranians or like what their ambassador [15:54] had to say. It just brings the rebuke of [15:56] the ambassador. And here you have Arab [15:58] News on the front page, the top story. [16:00] Saudi Arabia intercepts five drones near [16:03] Prince Sultan air base. So, it's not [16:05] just the oil refinery that gets hit, but [16:07] this is a story from today. Okay? And in [16:10] this story, [16:13] I'll get back to the Lebanese story in a [16:15] second, but in the Arab, so you see [16:17] what's on the front. This is the top [16:18] story in Arab news is their interception [16:20] of this. Okay. Saudi Defense Ministry [16:24] spokesman, General Turkey al- Maliki, [16:26] announced the interception and [16:27] destruction of five hostile aerial [16:29] drones. Uh, and this is all coming from [16:32] Iran. Okay. [16:34] and [16:36] reckless and destabilizing Saudi Arabia [16:38] and allies condemn Iran's regional [16:40] missile attacks. And look on the front [16:42] page of Arab news. Um after this story, [16:46] what do we have down here? We have the [16:49] the Rasura refinery that was bombed by [16:51] the Iranians, Qatar shooting down two [16:54] fighter jets from Iran, and the Lebanese [16:57] government imposing an immediate ban [16:58] on's military activities. Now, Arab news [17:02] has been kind of pro-isbah when it comes [17:05] to Israel over the last few months. [17:06] They've been kind of neutral on the [17:08] disarmament issue. If you know, I I read [17:11] the Arab news every day. Look what it [17:12] says here. Lebanon's government said [17:14] overnight attack against Israel [17:17] overnight's overnight attack against [17:19] Israel were illegal and imposed an [17:21] immediate ban on the group's military [17:23] activities. [17:24] Right? They're paring a Lebanese [17:27] government position calling attacks on [17:29] Israel illegal. Usually attacks on [17:31] Israel don't get condemned by these by [17:34] these uh by these governments. [17:38] Okay? And they're and they're condemning [17:39] them. And the move comes after Iran [17:41] backbellah launched rockets at Israel [17:43] provoking retalatory Israeli strikes. [17:45] The government convened for 5 hours [17:47] before reaching a decision. [17:50] Joseph Aun started the meeting by [17:53] discussing repercussions against for [17:55] attacking. [17:57] Okay. sources initially told Arab news [18:00] that the ministers were pushing for a [18:02] decisive response to's recklessness [18:04] regardless of the consequences. [18:07] So what's happened here is that the [18:10] Saudis are amplifying this message. This [18:12] um this is Saudi media amplifying the [18:16] the recklessness and the rage against [18:19] for attacking Israel. [18:23] You get that? Because of what it's going [18:26] to do to Lebanon. And you have and [18:28] they're and they're highlighting that [18:30] Qatar was attacked, that the Emirates [18:32] were attacked, that they were attacked. [18:34] Okay, this is where this is going. [18:37] And Memory, the Middle East media [18:39] research institute put up a story today, [18:42] shift in Saudi Arabia's declared [18:44] position on Iran war from neutrality to [18:46] anti-Iran stance. and they and what they [18:49] do is they go into the Arabic language [18:52] Saudi media which I I don't read Arabic [18:54] and that's why they're such a great [18:55] website and and they bring all the [18:58] quotes from the editorial pages and the [19:00] and and everything going on in Saudi [19:02] media where you see that they've now [19:06] adopted a a a combative tone um against [19:11] Iran. So following the direct Iranian [19:14] attacks on its territory, Saudi Arabia [19:16] has abandoned its declared position of [19:18] neutrality and now defines Iran as an [19:20] existential threat and reserves the [19:22] right to respond with military force. [19:25] Okay. The change in Saudi position was [19:27] first evident in a statement by the [19:28] Saudi foreign ministry which condemned [19:30] the Iranian attack on the kingdom and on [19:32] the other Gulf states. We saw we saw [19:34] that and it while refraining from [19:37] condemning Israeli and US attacks on [19:39] Iran. That's a good pickup. Meaning it's [19:41] not just that they condemned the Iranian [19:44] attacks, but they didn't condemn the US [19:46] and Israeli attacks, [19:48] right? They didn't condemn them. I mean, [19:49] Tucker Carlson condemned them, but Saudi [19:52] Arabia did not condemn them. This [19:54] response contrasts sharply with the [19:55] position taken by the Saudis during the [19:58] last Israeli-American confrontation with [19:59] Iran in June 2025 when they did condemn [20:03] the the strike. So, look at that. That's [20:06] a very important point. In the June war, [20:08] in the 12-day war, the Saudis condemned [20:11] the US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and [20:14] now they're not. State affiliated media [20:18] outlets and senior Saudi journalists [20:20] likewise adopted a combative tone [20:22] towards Iran. [20:24] They asserted that the Iranian attack [20:25] has exposed Iran's ugly face and its [20:28] true character as a direct enemy of the [20:30] Saudi kingdom. They emphasized that Iran [20:32] has lost whatever remained of Arab [20:34] solidarity with it and even expressed [20:36] hope for the collapse of its regime and [20:39] the removal of the threat it poses to [20:41] the region. Okay. Okay. And then they [20:43] bring quotes from the Saudi foreign [20:46] ministry and from a commentary in the [20:49] Saudi in a in a Saudi uh daily okaz a [20:54] major Saudi I mean everything there's [20:55] there's no free press in the Saudi [20:57] Arabia uh in the OKAS Saudi daily which [21:01] also [21:03] uh says that the that the foreign [21:04] ministry of Saudi Arabia conveyed [21:06] readiness for a comprehensive response [21:10] which involves defending the kingdom's [21:11] airspace. securing strategic depth, [21:14] raising the level of operational [21:15] readiness, and reserving the option of [21:17] responding at a time and place to be [21:20] determined by the Saudi leadership. They [21:21] are ready to enter the war. That's what [21:24] they are. That's what they're saying [21:26] here. Editor of Saudi State Daily, Al [21:28] Jazzer, that's not Al Jazzer from Qatar, [21:30] that's a different one. After the war, [21:32] Iran will be a different country that [21:34] does not threaten others with missiles [21:35] and nuclear weapons. And look at this, a [21:37] senior Saudi journalist. Okay. [21:41] Uh this guy uh Sulleman Nasiri put up [21:44] this uh this tweet this uh this post on [21:46] X uh tombstone to the Islamic Republic [21:50] and listen to what he writes. Saudi [21:52] columnist Fad Dbaji expressed optimism [21:55] follow following the death of Ali [21:57] Kamayi. He wrote on X I believe the [22:00] death of Ali Kamayi will liberate Iran, [22:03] Iraq and Yemen from the ideology of the [22:06] Iranian regime. He's talking about [22:08] Shiites. Iraq is mostly Shiite. Iran is [22:11] mostly Shiite and by Yemen he's [22:13] referring to the Houthis who the Saudis [22:15] hate who are Shiites. Okay. Restore [22:18] their peoples to their natural choice of [22:20] freedom and stability far from extremism [22:23] and imposed control and shatter the [22:25] chains of fitna of civil strife that [22:28] Kami imposed upon them. Okay. So you [22:31] have these prominent Saudi journalists [22:34] and remember there's no free press in [22:36] Saudi Arabia. these prominent Saudi [22:38] journalists who are all treating Iran as [22:40] an enemy and talking about regime change [22:43] and the fall of and you know the fall of [22:45] of the regime. So this is a you know [22:48] this is a massive plotline and [22:50] everything that we're following here and [22:52] what we could be looking at is that you [22:55] know Iran as Brett Bayer said they were [22:57] hoping to turn this into more of a [22:59] regional war because Trump doesn't want [23:01] escalation. Remember that. Remember [23:02] before the war, they kept threatening [23:04] regional war, regional war. And I was [23:05] saying, "No one's going to come help [23:06] them." They thought that they were going [23:08] to just create a big mess and escalate [23:11] things and have these countries begging [23:13] America to stop the war quickly because [23:15] they don't want to get bombed and and [23:16] and they don't and and they don't want [23:19] all this regional instability. Instead, [23:21] they just angered the Saudis and the [23:23] Gulf States and isolated themselves and [23:26] now everyone wants the regime to fall. [23:28] Wild. We live in unbelievable times. Uh [23:31] but uh yeah, it it uh it's really [23:34] interesting watching how the Saudis have [23:37] changed their tune uh on on Iran [23:41] so quickly as a result of these attacks. [23:44] All right, have a happy Purim everyone. [23:46] Thank you for watching the channel. [23:47] Thank you for helping build the channel. [23:49] Please spread the word about everything [23:50] that we're doing. Isn't it amazing that [23:52] the pu that purim, a festival that [23:54] celebrates the victory of the Jews over [23:57] a genocidal Persian uh edict that was [24:01] calling for the genocide of the Jewish [24:02] people. Um Hmon, this this uh genocidal [24:07] Jew hater at the top of the Persian [24:08] government was brought down [24:11] and uh and history seems to be repeating [24:15] itself on Purim this year. God bless you [24:17] all.
