Good morning, guys. Before I go to work, I want to talk about something I’ve been seeing.
I’ve literally watched dozens of videos where American citizens in the United States of America get denied service at salons, hair salons, barber shops, delis and bakeries because they’re Jewish.
It’s something you would think would have happened in 1930s Germany before World War II. You would never imagine this happening today.
Because I support the Catholic Church’s official position, and I say official position because I’ll come out here and tell you abortion is the gravest of mortal sins.
They’ll say, “Oh, well, most people that have abortions are Catholics, blah, blah, blah.”
I’m telling you the official position of the Catholic Church, not what some Catholic on YouTube says. I’m saying the official teaching of the Catholic Church.
When it comes to abortion, you can be automatically excommunicated if you have an abortion. Pope Francis said it’s the gravest of mortal sins.
With this topic, I’m going to give you the official Church teaching.
But first, I want to give you a little background.
What I Remember About Newark
One of my best friends growing up in Jersey was a guy named John Scabilia. He came over from Sicily, Italy, in the fourth grade. We became really tight friends.
His old man had a pizzeria on Bloomfield Avenue in Newark, and he married a wonderful girl, Tony Imperiale. She happens to be the daughter of Anthony Imperiale.
If you’re not familiar with him, if you look him up, the liberals on Wikipedia and everything else will say he was a racist.
According to the left and the media in this country, he was a racist who took matters into his own hands.
The reality is, during the Newark riots, when the Black Panthers were burning down Newark, I literally had to stay in my house because the apartment building across the street had a Black Panther sniper sniping any white person who walked by.
In fact, a National Guard sniper shot him, and he fell right across the street from my house and splattered on the ground.
It was a brutal time back then.
Anthony Imperiale lived in a time when you had what they called ghettos back then. You had the Italian section, the Portuguese section, the Polish section, the Irish section and all different types of neighborhoods.
In the Italian section of Newark, where Anthony Imperiale lived, the North Ward, he gathered all the men in that neighborhood and said, “The cops ain’t coming to help us, man. We need to defend our neighborhood.”
They set up a wall, and nothing burned in the North Ward.
In fact, he became so popular that they elected him. He was the first independent state senator from New Jersey.
In fact, The Many Saints of Newark, the movie, tried to portray us Italians as these violent, nasty people. They wanted to center it around him, Anthony Imperiale, but his family saw the script and said these were all lies. They sued, so he’s not even mentioned in that movie.
The interesting thing Anthony said was that he had a lot of connections. He was a well-connected guy, and he knew that there was a planned riot.
He brought this information to the cops. He was saying they were going to set up snipers and start a riot. He believed the Black Panthers and Nation of Islam wanted to start a race riot and a race war.
The police ignored him.
Then, I think it was a cab driver who hit a Black kid, or a white cop beat up a Black guy. I forget. It’s been so many years.
The narrative in the media was that this started the race riot, that Black people in Newark were just fed up.
But the day it started, there were snipers. The FBI testified that there were snipers already set up.
Anthony Imperiale was saying, okay, if this happened spontaneously the way the government and the media are telling us, why did they have snipers in something like 20 different locations throughout Newark?
So he believed it was pre-planned.
The way Black people were treated was horrible back then. Thank God the Republicans passed the Civil Rights bill in the 1960s.
But I believe it was planned, and I’ve seen the same thing happening with the Jews.
On October 7, when the Hamas savages came in and butchered, I think, 1,200 innocent people, they weren’t just Jews. There were Americans as well.
Then they took more than 200 hostages. They weren’t just Jews. There were Americans as well.
Immediately, at all these Ivy League schools, people came out in Hamas garb, not to protest what Hamas did, but to protest Israel.
These people had just gotten attacked.
The next day, within 24 hours, they had all these planned protesters, all these liberal professors and communist professors out there saying, “Oh, we’re finally fighting back.”
One guy from Cornell University said it was so thrilling and made him feel so happy to see these people get butchered.
I believe it was planned.
We know the Muslim Brotherhood donates money to these Ivy League schools. The Iranian Experts Initiative sends scholars and people I consider propagandists to these universities to convince these young students that the jihadists are the good guys and Americans and Jews are the bad guys.
For years, the Muslim Brotherhood and these other organizations that donate money have been influencing these schools and convincing these young students.
You’ve always had this alliance on the left with Islamist extremists, and we’ll get to that in a minute.
I’ve talked about that a lot on this channel through speeches of their own, and I’ve shown a few in the past.
The Muslim Brotherhood has talked about influencers on YouTube, both on the right and the left, supposedly right-wingers as well, spreading their propaganda.
One of the things they do is twist words.
The left is very good at changing definitions.
A woman is now someone who identifies as a woman. I am going to do a video about how these two NBA guys are going to identify as women and play in the WNBA because it’s ridiculous.
The mentality of the left is ridiculous in this country.
They changed the definition of a baby.
“It’s not a baby until it’s born.”
Are you that anti-science? You can’t look at an ultrasound?
And they changed the definition of Zionist.
What Is the Real Definition of Zionism?
Now a Zionist is something really bad.
Someone says, “Oh, I’m not an anti-Semite. I’m an anti-Zionist.”
It’s okay to be an anti-Zionist, but it’s bad to be an anti-Semite.
So what is the real definition of Zionist?
I don’t care what your favorite YouTuber says it is.
This is the Oxford definition of Zionism: a political movement that originally sought to establish an independent state for Jewish people and now supports the development and protection of the State of Israel. Oxford definition of Zionism
Basically, Israel and the Jews have a right to a nation in Israel and they have a right to protect themselves.
Pope St. John Paul II said that the Jewish people have a right to have a nation in Israel and to protect themselves.
The Catholic Church’s official position on Israel is that they have a right to exist and protect themselves.
Then people try to twist it by saying these aren’t the Jews of the Old Testament.
According to the Catholic Church, they are.
According to the Catholic Catechism, paragraph 121, the Old Testament is an indispensable part of Sacred Scripture. Its books are divinely inspired and retain a permanent value, for the Old Covenant has never been revoked. Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 121
You hear people say, “Oh, the Old Covenant was revoked. We replaced them. The Jews have no place in salvation history.”
Not according to the Church.
No one said it more explicitly and better than Pope Benedict XVI, one of the greatest theologians of our Church. He called the Jewish people “the fathers of our faith.” Catholic-Jewish dialogue and Pope Benedict XVI’s description of Jews as the fathers of our faith
Now I want to show you a couple of examples of what I’ve been talking about.
Refused Service Because He Was Jewish
The first case was in Mississippi.
A news report examined whether Mississippi law could allow a restaurant owner to deny a customer because of his religion.
Rabbi Ted Riter said the words caught him off guard. Report on Rabbi Ted Riter’s restaurant incident in Mississippi
He said:
“I asked the owner if I could have a Greek salad to go, and he said, ‘The regular size or the Jewish size?’ I was taken aback a little bit, and I said, ‘What do you mean by that?’ And he said, ‘Well, you know, Jews are cheap and are small, and everyone knows this.’ And I said to him, ‘Did you really say that?'”
Riter claimed that when he told the owner, John Ellis, that he was Jewish, Ellis threw him out.
“He just goes into a tirade, throwing out all these expletives and cursing at me and saying, ‘Get out. Get out of here.'”
Restaurant owner John Ellis claimed the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
When asked if he told him to get out, the response was:
“The guy said he didn’t want to do any business with us because he was probably offended because we offered different salads. That’s all.”
Then:
“No, I said a Greek salad or Jew. We have several different salads.”
The reporters looked at the restaurant menu in the store and online, but there was no mention of a “Jewish salad.”
Some viewers asked whether Mississippi’s religious freedom law would allow a restaurant to deny service.
The legal response was:
“Factually, it’s hard to imagine. Legally, it’s impossible.”
Mississippi College law professor Matt Steffey said Ellis would have to prove that serving the rabbi infringed on his religious belief, which he said would be next to impossible.
“I don’t know anybody’s religious strictures that demand engaging in anti-religious sentiment or slurs.”
At that stage, Riter said he didn’t plan to take legal action.
“I don’t want to do anything to cause a further rift between the store owner and the larger Jackson community.”
Ellis said he was ready to move on too.
That was Mississippi.
Clear discrimination. Antisemitism.
Even Pope Francis, who was very critical of Israel’s response to the October 7 attack, said a Christian cannot be anti-Semitic.
You cannot be Catholic and anti-Semitic. Pope Francis on why a Christian cannot be an anti-Semite
That brings me to another guy who used to be a really good Catholic apologist.
He wasn’t at the level of Trent Horn or Tim Staples or anywhere near Doug Beaumont, but he was a pretty decent Catholic apologist.
About six months ago, maybe even longer, I believe he turned into a full jihadi apologist.
I don’t know why.
I had Dr. Dale Comstock on. He was a former Delta Force operator during the War on Terror. He’s also a Green Beret and a former CIA special operations officer.
He said people could be radicalized very quickly, with 60 days of hearing the same lie over and over.
So I don’t know if this gentleman was radicalized.
You also have the far left teaming up with Islamists, and this guy seems definitely like a left-winger based on his political comments over the years.
He’s always leaned left, and now he’s far left.
I don’t know if he’s just a left-winger teaming up with Islamists, as I believe they do, or if he’s just a grifter.
One person commented that they worked for him and claimed that once he started doing this anti-Semitic stuff, anti-American videos and pro-Islam videos, his lifestyle got much better.
That’s what they claim.
I don’t know him personally, so I don’t know if this is the case.
Dale Comstock, again, was a Delta Force operator and saw the worst in the Middle East when he was in Delta Force.
He’s the toughest guy I’ve ever met.
Tough as nails.
Delta Force is the tip of the spear. To even try out, you’ve got to be a Navy SEAL, Green Beret, Army Ranger, Marine Raider or Marine Recon.
Only a very small percentage of those guys make it through the tryouts, and even fewer make it through the training.
These guys are tough.
They’re the tip of the spear.
He told me he had 100% PTSD.
I was surprised.
He said he had no problem killing terrorists, but said:
“When you see what these Islamist terrorists do to children, you just can’t get it out of your mind. These people are vicious. This is evil. I’ve seen the face of evil.”
He also said:
“I’m not saying all Muslims. I’m married to a Muslim girl.”
He’s actually married to an Asian Muslim.
But he said:
“These Middle Eastern Muslims who are still under Sharia law and believe in Sharia law, it’s a different type.”
He said they’re very vicious and they’re trying to come to the West and take over.
Another Iraq War veteran, Lieutenant Colonel West, a brilliant officer who was a congressman down here in Florida, said they have a four-phase plan.
He said it’s migration, population, agitation and domination.
In England, he says they’re in the fourth phase.
In America, maybe they’re in the second or third phase. It depends on which part of America.
If you look at Michigan and Minnesota, he believes they’re probably in the fourth phase, and he says they have to be stopped.
He also points out that the Islamic calendar doesn’t start in 610. It starts in 622, when Muhammad migrated to Medina.
A lot of Catholics, or a lot of people, think Catholics are pacifists.
We’re not.
When Islam started attacking Catholics and taking their cities, Catholic bishops stood up and raised armies. They were called bishop warriors.
If you’ve ever seen the show Vikings on the History Channel, and now I think it’s on Netflix, it shows you a really cool bishop warrior.
Of course, it’s Hollywood, so they show you all his weaknesses too.
But they show an example of a fierce Catholic bishop warrior leading Catholic men into battle against Muslims and the Vikings, who were pagans at the time.
The Muslims were so vicious and brutal, killing so many Catholics, that eventually Pope Urban II started the Crusades.
We’ve been fighting these battles ever since.
A Salon Owner in Virginia
The next example happened in Virginia.
To give you some background, this woman put down a deposit to have some work done at a salon.
Apparently, whatever she was having done was expensive, so she put down a deposit and gave the salon owner money.
She walked in.
It appeared the salon owner might have been from Afghanistan.
They started talking, and the customer said something along the lines of, “Oh, I love Afghan culture. I’m actually writing a book about Afghanistan.”
It was a positive book about an Afghan boy and, I think, an American woman.
I don’t know the whole gist of it, but she was just striking up a conversation.
Then this woman finds out she’s Jewish and refuses her service.
The first example was Mississippi.
This one is Virginia.
And I don’t believe this could happen to Muslims without a huge reaction.
The Democrats would be up in arms.
The media would be up in arms if you discriminated against someone.
Can you imagine someone saying, “I can’t serve you because you’re a Muslim?”
But I believe it’s happening to Jewish Americans.
The video was introduced by saying the Israeli-American woman was refused service because “she supports Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.”
Although the commentator acts like he doesn’t take sides, I believe he already loads it up for his viewers.
The Muslim woman is denying service to this Jewish woman because this Jewish woman supposedly supports genocide.
I believe this is a lie.
Again, my understanding of the official position of the Church is that what Israel did in Gaza was not genocide.
They asked Pope Leo directly, “Do you believe Israel committed or is committing genocide in Gaza?”
He said, “No, I do not believe that.”
I also had a scholar on, Robert P. George, one of the most renowned legal scholars in the world.
He’s literally one of the most renowned legal scholars.
I can’t believe he came on this channel, but he’s a humble guy and he’s a devout Catholic.
He said this is definitely not even close to meeting the definition of genocide.
In 2005, when Israel gave Gaza to the Palestinians and said, “You run it however you want,” there were about 1.3 million people living in Gaza.
Today there are about 2.1 million.
So I don’t believe it’s a genocide.
I believe this is a lie that Lofton and others on the left keep saying over and over.
Like I said, according to Dale Comstock, if you hear the same lie for 60 days straight, you become radicalized. You become brainwashed, as they say.
In 2005, if you’re not familiar with the history, Israel agreed to give Gaza to the Palestinians so they could have their own government.
The United States gave them billions of dollars, and the world gave them billions of dollars to help them be free and have their own elections.
Then they elected Hamas, a known terrorist group.
I believe the money everybody gave them to build themselves up was instead used for weapons and attacks.
That’s what terrorists do.
Israel has always responded.
Israel has a philosophy: You hit me with a stick, I’m going to hit you with a baseball bat.
That’s their philosophy.
Then, on October 7, when these guys viciously came in and did what they did, jihadi apologists said, “Oh, they didn’t do this. They didn’t do that. They didn’t put babies in ovens.”
I have friends and people I know who claim they saw videos and that babies were put in ovens in front of their parents after people were brutally raped.
They claim men and women were raped and that parents were forced to see their babies killed.
If you notice, Pope Leo was a very harsh critic of Israel’s response until he met with Marco Rubio, a devout Catholic and our secretary of state.
From what I’m hearing, Rubio shared videos and showed Pope Leo what they were dealing with.
I’ve noticed that he hasn’t been criticizing Israel as much lately.
The response was overwhelming.
I was asking, when are they going to fight back?
It was about two weeks.
If you remember, Hamas took more than 200 hostages, including kids, babies and teenagers. Some were Americans.
I was asking, when are we going to do something?
We had Biden.
I was saying, Biden, you need to go after these people. These are Americans.
The world did nothing for about two weeks, and then Israel finally responded.
They responded fiercely.
According to the Gaza Health Ministry, Israel killed about 3% of the population.
According to Doctors Without Borders, which went into Gaza to help the wounded, it was about 2% of the population.
PBS NewsHour also reported figures around 2%.
So let’s just say it’s 2.5%.
I argue that it would take hundreds of years to complete a genocide at that rate by one of the most powerful militaries in the world today.
If they wanted to commit genocide, I believe they could have.
Israel also dropped leaflets warning civilians about areas that were going to be bombed.
A lot of Israelis were angry that they did this because Hamas fighters could then prepare ambushes.
Israeli soldiers died because Hamas knew they were coming.
Israel sent medical aid in and sent food aid in.
I believe Hamas terrorists also interfered with civilians going for aid, so they had to come up with creative ways to get food and medical help to people.
So I don’t believe there’s a genocide.
People keep repeating that there is a genocide.
Pope Leo, as I understand his position, says there is no genocide.
Robert P. George, one of the greatest legal scholars of our day, says there is no genocide.
But people will keep saying it’s a genocide.
Then the conversation in the salon continued.
The Israeli-American woman said:
“I’m Israeli-American.”
The salon owner said:
“You were doing this, and then you’re defending it, which is totally fine. You can defend as much as you want, but this is my business. This is mine.”
The customer responded:
“That’s fine. That’s totally fine, but you should give me my deposit back. And if you don’t, I’m going to have to take legal action.”
The salon owner replied:
“Yeah, you can take legal action.”
The customer said:
“I came here to do a service. I had no idea that my ethnicity mattered. I didn’t speak politics at all about Israel.”
The salon owner responded:
“No, but I made a post on my Instagram that said if you support Israel, I’m not interested.”
The customer said:
“I didn’t see your Instagram. I didn’t look at your Instagram. I heard wonderful things about you.”
Back in the day in Germany, they would say, “No Jews allowed.”
Now there’s Instagram.
This woman posted on Instagram that if you support Israel, you’re not allowed.
In the 1960s there would be signs saying Black people weren’t allowed, except they didn’t use the word “Black.”
I remember when I was in the Navy in the 1980s.
I went somewhere with four guys. One guy was from Philly, one from Boston and one from New York. I forget where the other guy was from.
One of the guys was Black, and we went into a bar.
We were going to a school in Mississippi, and there was a sign excluding Black people, except it didn’t use the word “Black.”
I was like, “Holy crap.”
Then a guy came over while we were in our sailor uniforms and said:
“Hey, bro. I appreciate your service, but you better get out of here. I’ll pay for a cab to get you out of here, but you guys better get out.”
That’s another story I’ll share sometime because I don’t run from people.
That went down a little differently than you would imagine.
Back at the salon, the customer told the owner:
“I’ve heard cool things about you.”
The owner said:
“Well, thank you very much for that. All my clients are really happy. I really like it, but I really don’t support it. I even have a sticker right here that says ‘Free Palestine.’ I’m big Free Palestine. I’m huge Free Palestine. I’m massive Free Palestine.”
The customer said:
“I didn’t do anything wrong. I didn’t say anything political. I just told you about the conversation we had about Afghanistan.”
The salon owner responded:
“Everything is politics, even aside from Israel. But for me, Israel isn’t politics. There’s a genocide.”
The customer said it would be different if she had said, “Yes, there is a genocide. I don’t support what the Israeli government is doing.”
That’s exactly my point.
If you had agreed with my political opinion that there is a genocide, I would have served you.
But because you’re saying, based on the facts and the definition of genocide, that there is no genocide, I’m not serving you.
The conversation ended with the customer saying:
“I’m going to leave, but I will be contacting somebody to get my deposit.”
And the salon owner responded:
“Go ahead. Go ahead.”
A salon owner in Virginia kicked out an Israeli-American because she supposedly supports Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians.
That’s how the video was framed.
This Is America
The person who showed that video used to be a Catholic apologist, but his audience now appears to me to be far left and heavily Muslim.
Just look at some of the comments.
Like I said, I believe if you watch someone repeating the same thing for 60 days, you can become radicalized just like I believe he has.
One comment from someone named Muhammad said:
“That is a human response to refuse services to a Zionist.”
In other words, the comment was saying it’s a normal human response.
If you’re a decent human being, you’ll refuse service to a Zionist.
Another said:
“Kick her out.”
Another said:
“Bravo,” with a big heart.
Another said:
“People are fed up and they don’t understand it. They still don’t get it.”
Another said:
“Murdering 80,000 people is unacceptable. That is not an ethnic group. Why do they keep telling people that?”
Another said:
“More power to you, queen.”
It goes on and on.
Not one statement saying, “Hey, this is America. You don’t discriminate against people based on their religion or their ethnicity.”
That’s the reality I’m concerned about.
And again, when I talk about Islamists, I’m not talking about every Muslim.
Dale Comstock, the Delta Force operator I interviewed, is married to a Muslim from Asia.
I’m talking about Islamists coming from the Middle East who, in my view, want to dominate us.
I see Islamism not simply as a religion but as a theo-political movement.
I believe it has been a political movement from the very beginning.
I believe Islamists want to dominate the world, and they find useful people on the left and work together with them.
They’ll come up with far-left socialist policies to get the left to follow them and put them in power.
I believe that’s what’s happening today, and we’ve got to stop it.
I’ve got good news.
I believe we are stopping it.
That was going to be my video yesterday, and then it was going to be my video today.
But watching the latest example of what I believe is antisemitism happening in America just made me sick to my stomach.
God bless, and stay Catholic.
I do have to go to work.
God bless.
