The World Biden Leaves for Trump | Glenn Loury & Robert Wright | The Glenn Show

[@purplemonkeydishwasher9818]

46:00 for him to say with a chuckle that there are people who have in mind the destruction of Israel and the Jews followed by saying that we should have emphasized the non suicidal aspect of Hamas is naïve in ways that I can’t properly articulate without indulging in a few expletives. This is the same attitude that thought Iraq would welcome us as liberators and was ready for the liberal democracy that we were about to deliver to them. Those moderate elements within Hamas are so unpopular that if they were to get power would be assassinated immediately - assuming that them getting power was even possible. I’m also pretty sure that Glenn and Bob are aware that Hamas has been using their world high foreign funding per capita towards war building in the form of tunnels and missiles (which is what caused this “open air prison” in the form of the blockade that people that I’m sure Glenn and Bob would support bemoan) for as long as they’ve been in power. They could have been prosperous but over and over again they chose war. At what point should their uprooting from power be considered their fault and the war that Israel brings them to do so considered just? Also, mind you, Palestine was offered 93% of the region and Arafat turned it down. It wasn’t even Arafat who is to blame as much as it was everyone whom Arafat represented. Let that sink in. Arafat WANTED to accept what Clinton had brokered but wasn’t able to. Tell me how a moderate element can come to power under such auspices?

Why is there no discussion of the hostages when discussing Israel & Gaza?!

[@Zayphar]

I think it is because the chattering classes don't think of Jews as real people, thus only the collateral deaths of Arab human shields actually matters. In the ideology of the left, Jews are members of the White Colonial Oppressor class and thus deserve no consideration. If you expect the functionally anti-semetic left to worry about Israel in a rational matter you are deluding yourself.

[@brianbishop205]

Wright undermines himself with this more typical TDS approach to Hegseth which gives some here to see him as an establishment figure when he is as heterodox as Glenn. And heterodox is as heterodox does. We owe these gentlemen an audience for their views on Israel/Palestine, not agreement. While it is fair to note bits of the story they gloss over, I think their perspective on the utility of scorched earth in Gaza and their concern about settlements and metaphorical apartheid in the West Bank deserves serious engagement-albeit I think the view that American funding/weapons is the unused Archemedian lever in all this is contravened by thinkers like Jacob Seigal. "The idea that the US is the stalwart ally of Israel that offers this unconditional support for Israel. It's hysterically delusional" as explicated on the Fifth Column Episode: A Conspiracy So Vast (w Jacob Seigal) beginning at 55:30 . open.spotify.com/episode/5yF4fWvrMxEgOAJZ4TMAkU?si=JVGy5Yb4RWWukh3OvM1xXA&nd=1&dlsi=1204135210e84040 (sorry, spotify doesn't deign to give us timestamped urls) My views on that question are not congruous with Robert (or Glenn), but I didn't escape the progressive take-over of the mainstream narrative only to receive a talmud of counter-woke orthodoxy with which I must agree across the board. It was Glenn who introduced me to Robert years ago, because I knew Glenn before the "show"; so I affected an interest in someone who would platform Glenn. I think that Robert probably found Glenn's views on race as analogously outside the shrinking overton window of public discourse as his own on foreign policy. There are many commentors here whose first impression of Wright is as supercilious to the point of allowing no alternative to his views. Ironically, Wright is the alternative to the foreign policy blob, the status quo that pervades without regard to change in administration. His perspective is studied, which is not to say right. But set aside the cocksure delivery and consider his arguments.

[@Captain1nsaneo]

@@brianbishop205 Thank you for the comment, Wright definitely has his opinion. I'm familiar with Wright from Blogging Heads which Glenn introduced me to during his tenure there.

Rather than collapse the failure into a binary, why not ask what Israel or the United States could have done differently, with whatever agency they had, to improve the trajectory moving forward? My understanding is that Arafat was willing to continue negotiations in the early 90's but was rebuffed by ISRAELI diplomats. Is it possible there are entities WITHIN ISRAEL that have an interest in sabotaging peace? As a life-long cynic, I assume so. What can we do to influence THOSE entities?

I’m not saying Israel’s response was totally fine or no big deal that’s a fair conversation to get into but holy s*hit him going on about how 48 hours later all the Hamas fighters were gone and things were back to normal. Then brushes off that Israel went in after that for their safety…what does he expect they just go “ oh I guess we need more walls and drones and motion sensors and army around the entire border all the time because this is all on us to prevent from being slaughtered…can you imagine if any western country did that out of nowhere. ….. oh well they were caught off guard but it was back to normal after 48 hours so why do they have to go in there.

I guess if you don't count all the missiles streaming into Israel from Gaza AND Lebanon, maybe he had a point. I wonder if he can name a single country who just stood down after an attack like that. Literally, it's the equivalent of saying 48 hours after Pearl Harbor the US had secured the coast, so they shouldn't have declared war on Japan. I was stunned through most of this discussion by Wright's complete lack of depth in the subjects being discussed.

I don't know if this gentleman served but I'd like to hear from those actively in service. Those that understand war quite possibly from a historical standpoint. Israel's story of how they became a state is very fascinating to me. We all have opinions as US spoiled brats where we have had more civil wars than with surrounding countries. If every couple of years Canada or Mexico were carrying out terrorist attacks on US soil our position might be quite different. Weve avoided that for the most part because it has been made clear if you harm one of ours we will hu t you down and if anyone hides you we will deal with them also. That was a pride of being an American citizen and I dont apologize for that. We have been blessed to meet most enemies on their own land which is why 911 was so horrific but what if we had experienced them through our history as a nation? Israel being nestled in between countries that don't like them is something that should force us to check our audacity to judge Israel at the door. This is all so very bi-polar in nature. It's the same argument where we would demonize officers over the treatment of folks that we know were a danger to us all. I think anyone even considering Israel being a 2 party state doesn't know the history of Israel. They did the right things to become a state but the losers don't respect that. What if Nichols and McVey were native Americans and were responsible for the OKC bombing and 911? And they said hey our people were here 1st and we want half the US. How would we deal with that? Would we consider it? Or would we seek to uproot them in blunt fashion? People hate the term colonization but if you don't have some form of it you will always have people looking for their opportunity. We are lucky to not live under such a continuous threat.

This will mark the first time in all of created history that a species has gleefully ushered in its own obsolescence. I keep thinking of Player Piano. Not obliteration, but a future with no purpose or drive for the bulk of the living. I hope I'm wrong

I love Bob and truly respect his intellect and positions on various issues. BUT for him to believe that a machine which is governed by algorithms (even self-propagated algorithms), is made up of silicon (or graphite or any other inorganic material) and basically operates through a series of 0 and 1 switches (or even qubits once, if ever, quantum computing becomes a real thing) can become sentient with an inner experience of its own is completely delusional. Bob, living critters (including us) are NOT computer-like however much we overweening humans would like to believe that we, like a god, can create living critters from the ground up (except, of course, through the old-fashioned way).

[@sterlingveil]

Bob never said that computer are sentient, only that we can't prove they aren't. And notice that you claimed they aren't, but you didn't prove it.

Isreals choices are unfortunate. They are not interested in hostages at this point. The reality is that they are focused on expansion at the expense of the civilians and the other surrounding nations. I respect Robert Wrights views. Isreal is not exempt from criticism

I am sick to death of this juvenile talk about winning and losing. What in God's name is wrong with collaboration and agreement? Must me frame everything as if it was a football game? This planet cannot thrive without agreement, collaboration and co-operation. We waste so many resources on fearmongering, war and destruction. Surely we've evolved past that nonsense.

@ 31: Israel wasn't completely secure. They fired hundreds of rockets. Why is that allowable?

[@johnwashington9292]

Glenn, it seems contradictory that someone with your ethical understanding of Gaza would think of himself as having crossed the line. I left McWhorter and Coleman long ago over this issue and salute you for having the courage to publish this! As an infantryman from the Vietnam War who saw action in jungles and rice paddies, I know what is going on in Gaza is not a war but a genocide beyond depravity. Seventy percent of the IDF kills are women and kids, and probably most of the slaughtered males are not from Hamas’ ranks. This is not a warrior-to-warrior dispute but a slaughter of civilians with technically advanced explosives, starvation, water deprivation, and disease. Along with this is the deliberate destruction of hospitals, mosques, schools, and all essential for life infrastructure, coupled with the demonic uprooting of Muslim graves. Yes, we had our IDF-type William Calley’s, but they were turned in by us.

[@gilianrampart8514]

No, very few were turned in!

[@johnwashington9292]

@@gilianrampart8514 All modern armies have small criminal elements, and we did so in Vietnam. But my point, though not that well stated, is that the IDF is the reverse: it is a criminal all about in battlefield doctrine but with the humanist in the minority.

Your guest on Israel? Ponder how he'd feel if it were his kids or wife or baby? 48 hours later he was safe. Does it really stop there? Youre childish in your thoughts.

[@Pottedplants17]

When does the retaliation stop? 2 million dead? And how does the historical context play into a war that started well before Oct. 7?

[@sterlingveil]

If you actually listened to Wright, he said he would probably react the same way in the circumstance, but that it would still be a mistake. How many Israelis were killed by foreign aggression AFTER October 9th, 2023? That is how you assess whether their FEELINGS of insecurity were ACTUALLY justified.

Trump is the first President in history who isn't allowed to pick people will carry out the job he was elected to do. Regime propaganda is superb.

I have been thinking the same thing. The blob is Hella Mad at Trump and his future cabinet. It's a sign of good things to come.

[@mdfrenchy]

That's not true. Look it up. There have been plenty of recent cabinet nominees who have been vetted and either rejected or forced to drop out before being rejected. Every president goes through this process.

[@mdfrenchy]

@@shani5345 What's to counter? His suggestion that Trump is the first president in history to not be allowed to pick his cabinet is just not true, as I said. A quick Wiki search will prove this out. Clinton had 5 nominees rejected or withdrawn. Bush had 2. Obama had 3. Trump in his first term had 4. Biden even had 1. Learn your history. And by the way, before you assume it, I did not vote for Kamala. But a lie is still a lie no matter who you support. If we are going to dig ourselves out of this polarized cesspool, we should start by having discussions that rely on actual facts.
