Bauer and Rose: The Lesson of 10/7 -- Today, thanks to Israel, there is a heavy price to pay for murdering Jews
In this episode of The Bauer and Rose Podcast, Tom Rose and Gary Bauer delve into the somber reflections on the first anniversary of October 7th, a day that forced Israel and the world to confront the dangers of underestimating their enemies. They discuss the pride and audacity of terrorists who live-streamed their atrocities and the shocking support for Hamas that emerged in the aftermath, particularly on American campuses.
The hosts explore the historical and educational roots of this support, tracing it back to the Reagan era and the gradual erosion of patriotic values in American schools. They emphasize the link between the decline in love for America and the growing indifference or hostility towards Israel, highlighting the secularization of education and the diminishing influence of Judeo-Christian values.
Tom and Gary also address the geopolitical implications of recent events, criticizing Western leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron for actions that undermine Israel's security. They stress the importance of regime change in Iran to prevent further destabilization in the Middle East, drawing parallels to historical conflicts such as World War II.
The conversation shifts to domestic issues, with a critique of the Biden administration's handling of disaster relief and foreign aid. They question the priorities of the administration, particularly in light of the recent hurricane impact on rural American communities, and the broader implications for the upcoming election.
The episode concludes with a discussion on the enduring connection between the United States and Israel, emphasizing the historical and cultural ties that bind the two nations.
