It’s the Pipeman – The Wandering Jew spinoff of The Adventures of Pipeman.

Today we bring on Dave Aronberg a hero of truth and justice in the Opioid Epidemic and the current state of Antisemitism in the world.

Dave Aronberg served three terms as the elected State Attorney for Palm Beach County from 2012 to 2024, where he led a team of 115 prosecutors and 180 professional staff in five offices throughout Palm Beach County. He is also a former Assistant Attorney General, White House Fellow and Florida Senator.

In 2016, Aronberg created a Sober Homes Task Force that made more than 120 arrests for patient brokering and insurance fraud in the rehab industry, and has led to several new Florida laws and regulations that have become the model for other states. Aronberg’s efforts also convinced Google to restrict advertisements and improve screening for addiction treatment. The crackdown in rogue sober homes and corrupted drug treatment centers contributed to a dramatic decrease in opioid-caused deaths in Palm Beach County.

Dave Aronberg was born in Miami. He attended public schools before going on to graduate with honors from Harvard College and Harvard Law School. After graduation, he worked in the litigation department of a large South Florida law firm while also working closely with Insurance Commissioner Bill Nelson to investigate European insurance companies that refused to honor World War II-era policies sold to victims of the Holocaust.

In 2000, Aronberg was selected to be one of 15 White House Fellows from across the country. In this nonpartisan position, he served in two presidential administrations as a Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury Department for international money laundering, including the laundering of terrorist assets.

Dave Aronberg was elected to the State Senate in 2002 as its youngest member and served until 2010. In 2010, Aronberg returned to the Florida Attorney General’s Office as a Special Prosecutor for Prescription Drug Trafficking. In his role as the Attorney General’s “Drug Czar,” Aronberg led an anti-pill mill initiative that helped clean up the pain clinic industry and reduced the record number of people dying each day from oxycodone abuse.

Aronberg is a trial skills instructor at Harvard Law School, and frequently appears on cable television as a legal commentator. He is the managing partner of Dave Aronberg Law, P.A., and a strategic partner with Capital City Consulting in West Palm Beach.

Here's your host of Lie Man.

17
00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:13.680
Yo.

18
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.959
I am back from the UK and Orlando and Milwaukee

19
00:01:19.359 --> 00:01:23.359
and Daytona and everything on the Pipemin Radio tour. And

20
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:27.239
here I am the wandering Jew that is back in Florida.

21
00:01:27.239 --> 00:01:29.719
I'm not wandering right now, but I have a very

22
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:33.879
special guest for a show today, and I am so

23
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:38.159
excited because I think it was like eighteen years ago

24
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:41.040
was the last time he was on this show. And

25
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:43.879
that's why I'm wearing the sunglasses too, because then he

26
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.920
can't tell that I'm eighteen years older. But let's welcome

27
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.519
to his show. My friend and an amazing person and

28
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:54.879
human being, Dave Ehrenberg, how are you.

29
00:01:55.400 --> 00:01:56.799
HiPE Man's creepy back with you?

30
00:01:56.879 --> 00:01:57.159
Brother?

31
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:58.200
Thank you for having me.

32
00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:03.319
Oh my pleasure. And you know it's interesting. While I

33
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:06.640
was watching my own intro. First of all, you heard

34
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:09.479
a familiar voice there. That was Chad, who's no longer

35
00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:11.120
with us. I don't know if you know that. If

36
00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:15.759
you remember our engineer Chad who played around town to Chaneather,

37
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.680
he's no longer with us. And then my grandson's in

38
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.159
that too. But then I saw the guitar part. I'm thinking,

39
00:02:22.240 --> 00:02:25.400
I'm wondering if that was Dave when he was on

40
00:02:25.479 --> 00:02:27.879
my show last time, because he played guitar on the

41
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.520
show when you were actually running for election. Then now

42
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:38.919
now you've been elected multiple times and now you're back

43
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:43.000
in our Palm Beach County, I would say, private sector

44
00:02:43.759 --> 00:02:45.280
and doing great things.

45
00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:51.400
And it's been a wild ride. So first let's start there.

46
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:54.840
Tell the listeners a little bit about your wild ride

47
00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.439
from eighteen years ago being on my show to now

48
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:04.120
and everything that you've accomplished, because you've accomplished some great things,

49
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:04.759
it's amazing.

50
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:07.639
Well, thank you, and I'm sorry we lost Chad. I

51
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:14.680
hope that his family is doing okay. I didn't know that. Yeah,

52
00:03:15.360 --> 00:03:19.199
thank you for letting me know. I started in this

53
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.719
business twenty two when I ran for the first time

54
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:26.560
for the State Senate and got elected at the age

55
00:03:26.560 --> 00:03:28.960
of thirty one. I was the youngest state senator and

56
00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.360
I was on your show trying to promote my candidacy.

57
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.560
We played then we played Coldplay. I think we play

58
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:36.400
love da.

59
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.039
Song, loveta Loca.

60
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:42.919
It's a cold Play songs.

61
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.599
I'm trying to think of what it was.

62
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:49.639
I'm gonna get it here. It's uh.

63
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:53.520
I think one will look it up for us. Look

64
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.520
one look up for a cold Play song that maybe

65
00:03:57.639 --> 00:04:02.159
starts with love Vita and yeah, no.

66
00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:05.599
It's uh, Martin, that's Viva LaVita.

67
00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.800
There it is there, it is Viva Lovita.

68
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.199
Yeah, that's a great song. And that's that's what we played,

69
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.360
and I remember well. So I was elected to the

70
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:16.959
State Senate. I was there for eight years, three terms.

71
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:18.759
The first term was two years, then I did two

72
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.279
four year terms after that. I left with two years

73
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:25.199
remaining to run for attorney general and I lost in

74
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.160
the primary. It's my being in six or seven elections

75
00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:31.759
and seven elections, that's the one I lost. And then

76
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.000
after the Republican beat the Democrat who beat me, she

77
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.160
turned around and hired me as her drugs are. That

78
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:41.439
was the attorney general named Pam Bondi and the drugs

79
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.240
are for the state of Florida where I went for

80
00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.279
the Attorney General's office, where I went after the opioid epidemic,

81
00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:48.959
and then from there I ran for state attorney in

82
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:52.199
palmache County. I became the state attorney and was there

83
00:04:52.240 --> 00:04:57.959
for twelve years, going after the problems at drug rehabs

84
00:04:58.160 --> 00:05:00.519
and sober homes, and so I kept my focus on

85
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.560
the open wood epidemic. And then after twelve years, in

86
00:05:03.639 --> 00:05:05.680
January twenty twenty five and sided they go into the

87
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:08.800
private sector. I got married. I'm going to have a child.

88
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.560
Late October, I moved to the suburbs and so in

89
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.279
Palm Beach Gardens. So you know, life is very different

90
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:16.199
than when we first met.

91
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:17.720
That's right, that's right.

92
00:05:17.800 --> 00:05:22.279
And now I just literally in September moved my studios

93
00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.720
from Wellington over to Palm Beach Gardens because I've lived

94
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:26.800
over this side.

95
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:29.360
For a while now. When all my kids, like.

96
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:34.319
The diaspora, just left the house and just split everywhere,

97
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:35.839
then I came over to this side.

98
00:05:36.920 --> 00:05:39.639
I like this side better. It's a little more sane

99
00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.079
over here than Wellington was.

100
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.160
Wells is a great place, yes, but I do love gardens,

101
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.040
and my wife likes it most importantly, and the dogs

102
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:50.600
would like it.

103
00:05:50.879 --> 00:05:53.439
Happy wife, happy life. That's right, I got it right,

104
00:05:54.199 --> 00:05:56.680
Oh my god, and I am so glad.

105
00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:57.160
Well.

106
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:01.279
I want to start there that you're a champion for opioids,

107
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:03.959
because that's a big peeve of mine.

108
00:06:04.480 --> 00:06:07.000
And I don't know if you agree with me or not,

109
00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:08.800
but I have said that.

110
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:13.560
I feel the whole problem with drugs in our country

111
00:06:14.240 --> 00:06:17.959
got so much worse once Nancy Reagan declared the War

112
00:06:18.079 --> 00:06:20.800
on Drugs. I just feel like I was in high

113
00:06:20.839 --> 00:06:23.120
school in that time, and that's when they invented crack

114
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.560
and meth, and then you start going to opiates, and

115
00:06:25.639 --> 00:06:30.279
I think all these really killer drugs have been going

116
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:32.439
on since that time, and it's worse than ever now.

117
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:34.839
Unfortunately, Well, you know, I.

118
00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:39.959
Was focused on trying to stop the proliferation of all

119
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.720
these pill mills. These yeah, places that were relatively unregulated

120
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:49.279
where people got high under the auspices of a so

121
00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:53.399
called doctor's care. But that was ridiculous, and it wasn't

122
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:56.879
It was just it was drug dealers wearing white coats,

123
00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:00.600
and people would use these and die, and they would

124
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.160
come down on the oxy Cotton Express down here from

125
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:06.319
West Virginia, in all parts of the country, and it

126
00:07:06.439 --> 00:07:08.079
was just an It was as awful. It was a

127
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.040
tough time as the government turned the other way, but

128
00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:13.279
we were able to shut it down. And then at

129
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:17.079
State Attorney, I focused on the rehabs that were engaged

130
00:07:17.160 --> 00:07:20.759
in corruption, fraud, abuse, and we worked to shut them

131
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:23.519
down and to chase the bad sober homeowners out of

132
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.439
our community so that we will once again have the best,

133
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:33.480
most ethical drug treatment industry anywhere right here in Palmeach County.

134
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.959
Yeah, and you have definitely done a lie cleaning up.

135
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:41.959
As somebody that's been the South Florida area a long time. Yeah,

136
00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.240
I remember all those pill mills and all the stuff

137
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:48.839
that was going on, and I don't hear as much

138
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:50.839
about it anymore here in South Florida.

139
00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:53.560
That's that's why because of the work we did.

140
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.519
Yeah, yeah, exactly, that's it.

141
00:07:56.680 --> 00:07:59.839
I mean, that's why, because we were able to focus

142
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.040
on this, and we're the only county in the country

143
00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.600
that did, and so it really turned out to be

144
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.759
the most worthwhile thing I think I've done as a

145
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:12.920
state attorney because it had a direct impact on saving lives,

146
00:08:13.240 --> 00:08:15.399
and I just wish that other communities around the country

147
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:17.199
would follow our lead. I even wrote a book about

148
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.040
It's right here behind me here of fighting the Florida Shuffle,

149
00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.319
and you can get on Amazon or anywhere. It talks

150
00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.920
about our fight to cleaning up the drug treatment industry

151
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:30.480
here in Palm Beach County, how we succeeded, and what

152
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.879
families need to know as they choose a rehab for

153
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:34.480
their loved one.

154
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:38.440
Absolutely, because there are other parts of the country that

155
00:08:38.679 --> 00:08:41.879
I know firsthand from people I know that have odeed

156
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.200
and that they need the same kind of help you

157
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:48.440
gave us here in Palm Beach County.

158
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.559
For sure, Thank you, Thank you, brother.

159
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:52.840
So what are you doing now?

160
00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:57.960
What's the current thing that you are cleaning up in

161
00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:58.600
our area?

162
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.639
Well, I am I'm the managing partner of Dave Arenberg Law,

163
00:09:02.919 --> 00:09:06.679
which is a boutique litigation firm. We do criminal and

164
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:11.600
civil work. We represent some drug treatment centers who want

165
00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.559
to stay on the right side of the law, but

166
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.600
we do civil and criminal work. I have four attorneys

167
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.120
and we even have an immigration practice from one of

168
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.960
our attorneys. So you know, we're rocking and rolling, and

169
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.639
I still do TV and streaming and so it kes

170
00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:29.840
me busy. Plus about to add my first child later

171
00:09:29.919 --> 00:09:31.519
this year, so it got a lot going on.

172
00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:36.879
Mazle tough, thank you, thank And so now you're having

173
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:40.840
this first child come into the world when I don't

174
00:09:40.919 --> 00:09:44.879
know anti Semitism. I can't believe I'm actually talking about

175
00:09:44.960 --> 00:09:49.519
it now in twenty twenty six. But what's your feelings

176
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:52.200
as somebody that's bringing a child into the world of

177
00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.759
what's going on in the world of anti Semitism, of

178
00:09:57.320 --> 00:10:02.600
even from Jewish people. I've gotten anti semitism from other Jews,

179
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.799
which kind of blows my mind.

180
00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:06.360
It's awful. I mean, s who's happening. And there's a

181
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:10.559
congressional race in New York where you have one of

182
00:10:10.600 --> 00:10:12.879
the camp both they're both Jewish and a very Jewish district,

183
00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:15.080
and you have one who sides with the anti Semites.

184
00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:18.240
And you have the other Dan Goldman, who is the

185
00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:23.279
incumbent who has been harassed and attacked because of his

186
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:27.080
of his support for Israel and the Israeli people. And

187
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.679
it looks like the person who's in bed with with

188
00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:34.440
open anti Semites, his opponent's gonna win in a Jewish,

189
00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:38.759
largely Jewish district. So there's a rift here. You see

190
00:10:38.799 --> 00:10:43.000
that American Jews aren't all supportive of Israel, and some

191
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.080
of them even support the people on the far left

192
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.039
who are openly anti Semitic. They haven't gotten a memo

193
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:52.320
that you may not be in their cross hairs yet,

194
00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:56.039
but you will be. You know, you anti Zionism is

195
00:10:56.240 --> 00:10:59.759
anti Semitism. And if you're thinking that you're gonna be safe,

196
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:05.000
beare because you denounce your religion or you denounce your homeland,

197
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.360
that's not it. You're going to be treated just like

198
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.720
everyone else. And it's just and it never stops with

199
00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:14.559
the Jews. You know, it may start with the Jews,

200
00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:18.120
but it never stops with the Jews. It's about Western civilization.

201
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.399
And this is the type of thing that threatens to

202
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:24.559
destroy the Democratic Party, and Democratic Party needs to get

203
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.440
a hold of it. There are a lot of anti

204
00:11:26.519 --> 00:11:28.120
sites on the far right. I'm not going to leave

205
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.759
that out on the Republican side, but the Democratic Party

206
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:36.519
has a real issue with this very aggressive, very passionate

207
00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.799
far left that is promoting a vision of the world

208
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.080
where Israel doesn't exist.

209
00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:45.279
It's wild to me.

210
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.240
Many things are wild to me. One of the things

211
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.759
wild to me is that people think that Israel's only existed.

212
00:11:52.279 --> 00:11:54.879
Since nineteen forty eight. That kind of blows my mind.

213
00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.000
But I think about when I was in college at

214
00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.639
Rutgers University and I was very involved in the temple

215
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.720
there and somebody came up to me, and at that

216
00:12:04.840 --> 00:12:06.399
point in my time, I was like, I was in

217
00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:09.759
the financial business, so I did tend to be towards

218
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:12.639
Republican because of the type of business I was in.

219
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:16.279
And they comes up to me and goes, how can

220
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.720
you be a Republican you're Jewish? And now I think

221
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.759
of how we are here in twenty twenty six, and

222
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:27.200
it's like, I think almost people are saying, how can

223
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:29.080
you be a Democrat you're Jewish?

224
00:12:29.240 --> 00:12:34.399
And it just it's to me, right, I'm a Democrat

225
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:39.240
and you can be yes, We'll see which part which

226
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:40.840
way the direction of the party goes. I mean, you

227
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.879
have people in the party who are really strong on

228
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:50.360
Israel and protecting the Jewish people, and they're still and

229
00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:54.480
the party is still hanging on with those individuals. But

230
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.600
will they get displaced by the Mandamis of the world

231
00:12:57.720 --> 00:13:05.200
who openly call Jewish donors to political campaigns monsters? I mean,

232
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:07.960
is that is that what you is that the vision

233
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.039
of the Democratic Party? I don't think so. You know,

234
00:13:10.080 --> 00:13:14.200
when they talk about APAC, it's such as hypocritical. There

235
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.879
are so many packs out there that represent interests that

236
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.600
you may or may not disagree agree with. But when

237
00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:24.000
you focus on one that sort of sounds anti submid

238
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:26.960
to me. And that's the one You're focusing on Americans

239
00:13:27.440 --> 00:13:32.559
who believe in a strong American relationship with Israel. That's

240
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:36.159
the one you're going to focus on as the one

241
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:37.399
evil of the monsters?

242
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:37.799
Is that?

243
00:13:38.080 --> 00:13:38.399
That's it?

244
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:39.279
Right?

245
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:42.759
So many others who you know, for example, the Katari

246
00:13:42.879 --> 00:13:46.240
lobby is so much bigger and larger, They spend so

247
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.120
much more money than the pro Israel lobby. And when

248
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.799
it comes to APAC, there are Americans, it's Americans. It's

249
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:58.200
it's not a foreign organization. So it's really uh, you know,

250
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.519
you can criticize Israel all you want, leaving next to Yahoo,

251
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.480
I do in christicize Israeli government in christsise the American garments.

252
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:08.000
That mean you believe that America shouldn't exist. No, but

253
00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.480
Israel is somehow held a double standard.

254
00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:14.039
Boy, my son, you know, I'm so glad you brought

255
00:14:14.080 --> 00:14:17.759
that up because I say all the time that I

256
00:14:17.840 --> 00:14:20.759
don't you know, you cannot like the Israeli government. That

257
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:25.039
doesn't mean don't like the Israeli people, you know, or

258
00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:29.320
anybody that's a descendant like you know, you're gonna hate

259
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.559
all Jews because you don't like net and Yahoo it

260
00:14:32.720 --> 00:14:33.440
may you know.

261
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:34.879
That's weird.

262
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:40.279
Yeah, it's a weird world we're living in where you know,

263
00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:45.320
this political divide that's so deep that people don't even

264
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:48.840
have common sense anymore. Like I'm not a fan of

265
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:52.000
what Netan Yahoo does, but I am a fan of

266
00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:55.720
Israel and Israelis and Jews no matter what.

267
00:14:56.320 --> 00:14:56.480
You know.

268
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.200
And that's I mean.

269
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.440
You had you had a coffee shop in New York

270
00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:07.519
who try to humiliate Dan Gold and the congressman there,

271
00:15:07.559 --> 00:15:10.600
he came in, bought some coffee, was there with his daughter,

272
00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:13.759
and then the owner put out a horrific message banning

273
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.080
him giving his money back, calling him a support of genocide.

274
00:15:17.679 --> 00:15:21.519
It is so ignorant and so hateful, and it just

275
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.320
it just shows you this is this is what's going

276
00:15:23.360 --> 00:15:25.519
on today, and that should never happen.

277
00:15:25.639 --> 00:15:25.960
You know that.

278
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.120
And first off, it's not a genocide. It's a war,

279
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.000
and there was a genocide on oct a tempted genocide

280
00:15:34.000 --> 00:15:37.240
in October seventh when I was to kill all Jews.

281
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:40.639
But you know, you can criticize the Israeli government and

282
00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.600
the response in God, you can do that. That's not

283
00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:47.200
anti semitic. But when you throw around words you don't

284
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.759
know the meaning of and you try to exclude Jews

285
00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.960
as a reason for it. Or here's a trying to

286
00:15:53.039 --> 00:15:55.879
exclude Dan Goldan from the coffee shop because he is

287
00:15:56.000 --> 00:16:00.279
Jewish and he has expressed support for Israel, that that's

288
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:02.720
enough to kick him out at coffee shop. No, that

289
00:16:03.039 --> 00:16:04.840
to me is a violation of civil rights laws. And

290
00:16:04.879 --> 00:16:06.960
it shows you if this is the way our country

291
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:10.320
is going, then it's a dangerous direction. Instead of talking

292
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:14.720
to each other, you're essentially just demonizing other people. You're

293
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.120
hating other people automatically. That's not who we are as Americans.

294
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.080
And I hope that the Federal Grammar does investigate this

295
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:24.279
coffee shop owner.

296
00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.120
Oh, no doubt about it.

297
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.399
And like it's just like maybe people should experience things

298
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:35.879
before talking about them, because I find a lot of

299
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:39.080
times these people, you know, I go around and I

300
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:42.759
go tour do touring of music festivals all over the

301
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:47.840
world to do media coverage, and I see a lot

302
00:16:47.919 --> 00:16:54.480
of these uncomfortable moments of chant and stuff like that.

303
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:58.039
And I'll talk to some of these people, you know,

304
00:16:59.039 --> 00:17:04.480
and they don't even know where Palestine is, Okay, they

305
00:17:04.559 --> 00:17:09.200
don't even know anything, and they don't realize the people

306
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:12.119
that are the biggest supporters are the ones that would

307
00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.279
be free to speak their mind do whatever they want

308
00:17:14.359 --> 00:17:16.680
in Israel. But if they did in Palestine, or they

309
00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:21.000
did with the regime of Iran or anybody Hamas or

310
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:24.599
anybody Husbala, they would be tortured and killed and raped

311
00:17:24.640 --> 00:17:25.519
and everything else.

312
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:31.599
I mean, there is there's no Palestine as people describe it.

313
00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:34.799
There is. There's Gaza, and there's a West Bank. And

314
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.799
Gaza was controlled was occupied by Israel for years. It

315
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:41.759
was after a war and the Israel was attacked and

316
00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.440
Israel was able to secure the territory, and then Israel

317
00:17:45.519 --> 00:17:48.279
voluntarily pulled out, gave the Palestinians its own state, you

318
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.240
have it, this is yours, and instead they elected they

319
00:17:52.279 --> 00:17:56.000
elected Hamas and turned into a terrast state with tunnels

320
00:17:56.000 --> 00:17:57.519
and all the money that was given to them to

321
00:17:57.640 --> 00:18:00.599
rebuild this place. Instead of building it like like Dubai.

322
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.920
Instead they built it like a terrorist haven where they

323
00:18:04.960 --> 00:18:08.440
have towels and missiles and use it to kill more

324
00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:11.839
Jews on October seventh than ever been killed before since

325
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.440
the Holocaust. And yes, and that's what started the war.

326
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.319
And Israel a member had pulled out. That's what they

327
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:20.519
got for pulling out. So it's a lot of it's

328
00:18:20.559 --> 00:18:22.799
tough to say, right, we'll keep pulling out of these territories,

329
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.440
and I'm sure you'll get a promise of missiles. I mean,

330
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:28.160
I would hope that there could be a piece the

331
00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:32.559
openly have a two state solution. And it's just it's

332
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:34.559
not so easy because you have to find a partner

333
00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:36.559
to do peace with. It's not gonna be Amas. Amas,

334
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.640
by their definition, wants the destruction of Israel and the

335
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.200
murder of every Jew. So it won't be a mass

336
00:18:42.599 --> 00:18:46.759
could be the Palacinian authority, Well they're not Amas, but

337
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:49.240
they have their own issues with corruption and they're run

338
00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:52.880
by Abu Mazan who's in its nineties, and they still

339
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:58.319
pay the families of terrorists who kill Jews in Israel,

340
00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:01.240
and so it's it's not idea. I think that it

341
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:03.279
would be nice to have a new generation of Palestinians

342
00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:05.240
who can make peace with Israel and then we can

343
00:19:05.279 --> 00:19:08.160
have a two state solution. But when you say Palestine,

344
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.839
you have to define where is that. Some people is

345
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:13.720
from the river to the sea, which means there's no Israel.

346
00:19:13.720 --> 00:19:16.359
It's just all Palestine. And you have this one Jewish

347
00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:18.359
state that's the size of New Jersey, where half the

348
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:20.960
Jews in the entire world, that was born after the

349
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:24.039
Holocaust as a safe refuge for Jews who have been

350
00:19:24.079 --> 00:19:27.720
slaughtered wholesale on a real genocide, and it is the natural,

351
00:19:28.119 --> 00:19:30.640
original Jewish homeland. And you know, for people who think

352
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.079
that Jews just got to Israel in nineteen forty eight,

353
00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.519
I asked you you celebrate Christmas, right? I mean Christmas

354
00:19:37.880 --> 00:19:40.119
year is the birth of a Jewish boy in Bethlehem,

355
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:43.640
thousands of years ago, right, So you can't tell me

356
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:47.319
that Jews just got to Israel in nineteen forty.

357
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:49.200
Eight exactly exactly.

358
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.599
And you know, the thing is so interesting story my

359
00:19:53.720 --> 00:19:59.960
youngest daughter, Rachel, who she just went through right before

360
00:20:00.119 --> 00:20:03.720
or October seventh, she did birthrate like that summer right before,

361
00:20:04.359 --> 00:20:08.920
and she was very much a very far left woke

362
00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:13.079
person before going to Israel. She went to Israel, she

363
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:17.960
experienced all these things, met all these people. October seventh happened.

364
00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.519
People she knows became hostages. People that she knows were,

365
00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:29.000
you know, at that music festival, her kibbutz was bombed

366
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:32.559
and everything else. And then she went back to school

367
00:20:32.680 --> 00:20:36.039
up in tallahasse A, n in Tallhassee up in Pensacola,

368
00:20:37.039 --> 00:20:42.160
and all of her friends, all of them were violently

369
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:47.359
protesting against Jews, which in turn were against her. And

370
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.359
she was actually literally scared to go to school until

371
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:55.759
she aligned herself with the khabbad at the school who

372
00:20:55.920 --> 00:21:00.640
kind of protected her and by us banding together. But

373
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:04.400
it was a really scary experience. And I if I'm

374
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.839
going to take one thing of October seventh is that's

375
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.200
where she found their Jewish identity. And I wish a

376
00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:13.640
lot more Jews would too. Instead, they're turning against their

377
00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:17.240
own people, their own land. I remember being Hebrew school. Listen,

378
00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:20.279
you were taught it's not just a religion, it's a

379
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.119
land and a people, you know, and it's a very

380
00:21:23.240 --> 00:21:27.599
different thing. And like people don't understand, Okay, you do

381
00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.559
a twenty three meter or ancestry, you have DNA of

382
00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.039
being a Jew. There's no DNA of a lot of

383
00:21:37.079 --> 00:21:40.599
the other stuff. And it's almost like people just want

384
00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:43.640
to jump on the bandwagon. But like I sit there

385
00:21:43.680 --> 00:21:45.880
and scratch my house. What world do we live in

386
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:49.359
that liberals support terrorists.

387
00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:53.000
It's really amazing when you see people who support human

388
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:58.559
rights and civil rights and gay rights LGBTQ. The largest

389
00:21:59.039 --> 00:22:03.880
gay rights parade outside of the West is in tel Aviv, right,

390
00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:07.599
so other than New York, it's Tel Aviv. And yet

391
00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.960
if you try to march in any of those countries

392
00:22:11.039 --> 00:22:13.640
that they now revere the fall far Left, they get

393
00:22:13.640 --> 00:22:16.319
thrown off a building, shot and then thrown off the building.

394
00:22:16.799 --> 00:22:19.839
So it's really amazing how you have this coalition of

395
00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:26.680
far left with these radical jihadis, Like the most culturally conservative,

396
00:22:27.079 --> 00:22:30.680
anti woman, anti gay jihadis it is something that I

397
00:22:30.720 --> 00:22:34.359
would never have expected. But when you think about it,

398
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:36.839
they have a worldview. They share the worldview that Israel

399
00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.240
somehow the cause of all evil, where Israel is a colonizer,

400
00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:43.240
which of course Israel Jews have been in Israel before

401
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:46.759
before Islam was a religion, I mean thousands of years.

402
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:50.759
And you have Israel being called in apartheid state, even

403
00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:53.640
though you have two million Arabs who live in Israel

404
00:22:53.680 --> 00:22:56.720
have equal rights, they have voting representation, whereas there are

405
00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:00.359
no Jews living in Arab countries. Well, if you and

406
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.279
Iran and they don't have equal rights and all the

407
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.079
right to vote. In fact, the only Arab citizens don't

408
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:06.279
have the right to vote Arab citizens that were rights

409
00:23:06.359 --> 00:23:08.519
to vote in Israel than they do it out there

410
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:12.480
in Arab countries. Yeah, and so you have all this

411
00:23:12.720 --> 00:23:17.279
and suppose and actually most of Israel is non white,

412
00:23:17.319 --> 00:23:21.519
supposed its non white colonizing apartheid state. And none of

413
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:23.279
this stuff is true. So all this stuff is based

414
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:25.319
on ignorance. I mean, it's based on total ignorance. And

415
00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:27.640
I just wish that the people would do a little

416
00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:30.759
more research instead of relying on a twenty second TikTok video.

417
00:23:31.599 --> 00:23:34.960
Well, you're so right, because you brought up something earlier

418
00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:40.440
that I talked about, and you know, it's basically there's

419
00:23:40.559 --> 00:23:44.880
so many more of the other side and so much

420
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:49.039
more money being put into social media to promote the

421
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:54.519
propaganda against the Jews, and that's what people like. It

422
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.279
blows my mind nowadays that nobody substantiates anything. They just

423
00:23:59.640 --> 00:24:01.960
read that headline and they take the ball and run

424
00:24:02.039 --> 00:24:02.240
with it.

425
00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.200
Where's the money coming from. It's coming from China, which

426
00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.960
runs TikTok, owns TikTok. It's come from Qatar that spreads

427
00:24:09.000 --> 00:24:12.279
a lot. It's misinformation. It's not organic. This is an

428
00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:16.640
international it's a funding different disinformation campaign and it's been successful. Yeah,

429
00:24:16.680 --> 00:24:20.880
So it's just it's it's it's too bad, but it's

430
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:23.880
something that you know now we're alerted to it. It

431
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.279
has been going on under our noses for years. We've

432
00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.319
been asleep at the wheel, but no longer, and we're

433
00:24:29.319 --> 00:24:31.599
gonna have to deal with the consequences. You have the

434
00:24:31.799 --> 00:24:33.720
entire generation of young people, a lot of them have

435
00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.359
been radicalized, and it's just gonna have to fight misinformation

436
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:37.920
with facts.

437
00:24:38.880 --> 00:24:45.480
Yeah, it's so simple, too facts like it just blows online.

438
00:24:45.559 --> 00:24:47.880
Like if you were to interview any of these people

439
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:52.319
on any of these massfactual things, they swear they know

440
00:24:52.440 --> 00:24:55.440
what they're talking about, but they can't substantiate any of it.

441
00:24:55.920 --> 00:24:57.599
And it's almost like they don't have to.

442
00:24:57.720 --> 00:25:01.359
We have you know, you have somebody right now that

443
00:25:01.519 --> 00:25:04.519
tells people's stuff and it doesn't matter what he says.

444
00:25:04.640 --> 00:25:07.359
They believe them, whether it's true or not. It's weird.

445
00:25:08.519 --> 00:25:10.880
Yeah, well you know what. This is why it's important

446
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.799
that you do the show.

447
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:12.599
Dean.

448
00:25:12.680 --> 00:25:14.440
It's great to be on with you. I appreciate the

449
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:16.440
chance to talk about it normally, you know, I talk

450
00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:19.480
about issues. It's legal issues and let me talk about

451
00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:22.319
Millie's politics. But I really enjoy it as you can tell.

452
00:25:22.880 --> 00:25:26.079
Well, yes, and you're very well informed in it. And

453
00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.559
that's why I had you on, and because you are

454
00:25:28.839 --> 00:25:32.359
somebody that could be a champion for all of us,

455
00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:36.799
because of your belief and your voice. And I thank

456
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.480
you for that because the minute I asked you to

457
00:25:39.559 --> 00:25:42.839
be on, like there was no hesitation because it is

458
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:44.000
an important cause.

459
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:47.000
And you know what hate is hate. I don't care

460
00:25:47.079 --> 00:25:48.359
what it is, it's hate.

461
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:53.519
Why can't we all just love each other, unite, stop

462
00:25:53.640 --> 00:25:56.240
laying the powers that be divide us and have us

463
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:59.799
at war with each other. Unite and be one race,

464
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:02.680
the human race, and treat people right.

465
00:26:02.960 --> 00:26:04.039
It's that simple.

466
00:26:04.759 --> 00:26:08.160
Yeah. Hey, well, you're a good man, brother, and thanks

467
00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:11.000
for keeping us speaking the truth. And let's do this

468
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:12.359
again sometimes.

469
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:14.759
Let's absolutely do it again. And thank you for all

470
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.440
you do. And thank you because you're what you do.

471
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:23.200
With everything else in your legal career and with the

472
00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:27.119
opios and everything else, you are definitely making.

473
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:28.680
Florida a better place.

474
00:26:29.480 --> 00:26:30.240
Thank you, my friend.

475
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.160
Thanks again for being on the Adventures of pipe Man.

476
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:34.960
All right, partner, take care.

477
00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:47.599
Thank you for listening to the Adventures of pipe Man

478
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.640
on w for CUI Radio.
