8/19/25: Fox Trashes Gavin Over Mean Tweets, ADL Lies About Zohran, Bari Weiss Starvation Denial, Israeli Mil Head Celebrates Killing Kids

24:31More complicated. We had Hakeem Jeffries on last week. Yeah. Okay, we talked about this, and we talked about it in the context of those comments. What did Minority Leader Jeffrey say? Yeah, he almost couldn't condemn him either in that regard, because what's going to happen is if he wins, people who even disagree with him on things like this will think that they have to agree with him. Look, whether you agree with President Trump or a would-be Mayor Mamdani, we have to deal with elected leaders as they are. But I think there are questions we should ask right now. Like, this candidate has visited churches and mosques.

25:07Not a single synagogue. This candidate has gone to Harlem to meet the black community, Washington Heights to meet the Latino community, Chinatown to meet the Asian American community. Not once to a Jewish neighborhood. The last poll I saw, something like 32 or 33 percent of Jewish Americans in New York were supporting him. Fairly, respectfully, Becky, like, I don't believe the polls. Because I know something about this candidate. He hasn't been to any of the mainstream Jewish institutions. He's it would appear. I mean, I haven't heard from him. I don't think the heads of most of the major Jewish groups have.

25:40I mean, forget the polls. How many voted for him in the Democratic primary? I mean, relatively speaking, we know that the way that that worked out was actually pretty low number. OK, first of all, why anyone takes this man seriously at this point is an absolute and complete mystery to me. Second of all, what brazen lie? Nearly every word out of his mouth is just a brazen lie there. So he says, oh, he hasn't visited a single synagogue. Put D2 up on the screen. What do we see here? Lo and behold, wonderful to be back at this synagogue on the Upper West Side last night for mayoral forum on the critical issues facing the Jewish community in this election.

26:21And frankly, the fact he hasn't reached out to Jonathan Greenblatt, in my view, is a major point in his favor. And that's really, I think, what Greenblatt is mad about. If he hasn't gone and kissed the ring of Jonathan Greenblatt than any other outreach that he's done to the Jewish community, which Becky there points out. By the way, this guy is doing better with Jews in New York City than any other mayoral candidate. But if he hasn't kissed Jonathan Greenblatt's ring specifically, then it really doesn't count. We can put D4 up on the screen because they did a good job of breaking down every single one of the lies that in that short clip that Greenblatt tells.

26:58So they say, contrary to Greenblatt's assertion, Momdani attended Shabbat services in Park Slope in February, visited the offices of the UJA Federation for a town hall co-hosted with the Jewish Community Relations Council in May, participated in two separate candidate forums at Congregation Benign Jashuran, sorry guys, butchered that, in Manhattan in June. Nonetheless, during the Democratic mayoral primary, he also made an effort to reach out to the more than 700 ,000 Jewish voters in New York, including a visit to an annual legislative breakfast in Flatbush, heavily Orthodox neighborhood in Brooklyn, with a politically conservative electorate.

27:33He also, Greenblatt, claims that Mamdani did not reach out to Hasidic voters in their native Yiddish language. Also a lie, he gave an interview to a Yiddish language Hasidic newspaper. There were photos circulating on social media showing pro-Mom Donnie Yiddish language campaign posters on a poll in Borough Park. He's relying on a senior team of Jewish professionals for his campaign. And this whole globalize the Intifada thing is such total and complete bullshit. First of all, if he did say it, I'd support it. But he never actually said it. And he has shifted to even saying he would discourage its use since he got so much scrutiny and pressure put on him over all of this.

28:10So just utter and complete lies out of this man's mouth and zero ability to reckon with the fact that actually the strongest candidate in the field, both in the primary and now in the general election with Jewish voters, is Zoran Mamdani, who, yes, is an avowed anti-Zionist, who is pro-BDS, who thinks that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested if he ever came to New York City. And guess what? New York City voters agree with him, not with you. Yeah, well said. And I think it's actually just very interesting because it's a couple of different areas that we can look at. The ADL has a lot of institutional power, but it is increasingly losing a lot of its political power.

28:56And I think that's what's very important. And just to show everybody, though, that the institutional power they have, I found this story recently. I wanted to break some of it down. Can we put D3 up on the screen? There were apparently very recently a huge fight in the teachers' union, in the NEA, over rejecting ADL materials, basically propaganda materials, to be used by teachers to teach, quote, about anti-Semitism. So apparently what happened is that the members approved a proposal inside of the teachers' union to sever all of their ties with the ADL over the war in Gaza. But the executive committee overruled basically this and rejected it, saying that they will continue to work with them over, quote, anti-Semitism or Holocaust education.

29:44So as you can see there. But the reason why I think this is very important is what they say for them is they're blaming union rules or any of that or whatever, is that they still have a huge hold on a lot of the nation's institutions from Twitter to the U.S. government, working with the Trump administration, working with the Biden administration. As we saw previously, they assembled a lot of the target lists or at least helped for some of these deportations of these Israel critics who were students who, again, literally were here legally, did nothing else other than criticize Israel. And now a lot of their materials, because of this legacy stuff that they've done on the Holocaust, continues to kind of do the work of pro-Israeli propaganda.

30:24So it's just one of those where, you know, the beast of the ADL, if you really want to, like, dismantle it, it's not just – it's important politically to actually have candidates who outright reject them. But those candidates then need to look at all of the other areas that they're influencing, like censorship, misinformation. Oh, yeah. And that's why I think it's really important to spotlight. And this guy gets booked on across cable news. I mean, you and I were talking when he was on. I'm like, why is this man on CNBC? Like, actually, this is a financial network. When I put CNBC on, I'm like, what's the stock of Nvidia?

30:55What's Jensen got to say? That's it. Bloomberg or any of these other places. This channel is on every office on all of Wall Street all day long. They watch it for financial news, not for any of this. Sometimes they have politics on like Charlie Kirk or whatever was on the other day. But even that was about tariffs and that was about the economy. This in particular, it's like, what is the purpose of this segment other than to basically weaponize and, you know, like, mobilize, like, the Wall Street New York City elites to try and continue their failed, like, anti-Mom Donnie campaign now so far. It's like, look, Ackman and Eddall have all tried.

31:31It's all come up nothing because you have nothing. They have no, like, plan or ability to stop Mom Donnie from getting elected at this point. He's going to be mayor. Their fantasy is that everyone except Andrew Cuomo drops out of the race, which is a fantasy. It's not happening. But even if it did, even in polling, when it is a head to head, Zoran still wins because Cuomo sucks. People don't like him, right? He's terrible. He's out there humiliating himself the way he's posting on a daily basis. Like your plan has failed. So, and they do not want to grapple with reality. That's why he's like, oh, I don't believe the polls.

32:06Actually, if you'll recall in the Democratic primary, the polls wildly understated Zoran's support wildly because he completely was able to change the electorate. He actually shifted the electorate and brought out so many more young people than were anticipated. So don't be surprised if the polls are once again underestimating his support because it's very difficult to predict in these sorts of elections with a candidate who is so unique and who himself is able to change who shows up to vote. It makes it very difficult to do the polling and for it to ultimately be accurate. I wanted to get this in.

32:42It's a little bit, it fits, but it doesn't totally fit. But I will say the free press is a sort of ADL-aligned institution. And it does fit with the - They're actually more militant, I would say. They are more militant. But it fits with the idea that there is like for the Israel bear hug position, there has been a almost complete loss of public support outside of like boomer Republicans. but there is still a lot of elite support and elite pushing of this narrative. Free press and their, you know, supposed, what was their valuation? $250 million or something. Valuation, I think, being emblematic of that.

33:19Which we support because it means we're worth$100 million. That's right. Yeah, exactly. We support it because that means we're really rich too. Tim Dillon was like, what do I need to say? Yeah, what do I need to say? $100 million? All right, all right. It's fine to blow up toddlers. It's good. Can I check now? Send me to Jerusalem. That was his bit. Anyway, let's put their latest journalism up on the screen here. I am so thoroughly disgusted with this line of quote unquote reporting. So the headline here is they became symbols for Gazan starvation, but all 12 suffer from other health problems.

33:54And they go through these 12 individuals, all of them Palestinian children, who are being starved and suffering through all sorts of things. True, not just starvation in Gaza that they are suffering through. As if to disprove the idea that there are famine conditions in Gaza. Which is insane because you can just look at the stats yourself about the amount of food trucks that were allowed in for months and months. there was an almost complete blockade. There has been some lifting of that. Some trucks are getting in. It has eased slightly, but nowhere near what is needed. And so let me give you an example of one of the children that they say it's not fair to represent as suffering from starvation.

34:42There's a 14-year-old boy, they say, who was featured. I'm just going to read you what they say. These are their words. The 14-year-old boy was featured in the same CNN story as another child suffering from malnourishment. The original caption didn't mention that last May, that boy had sustained a traumatic head injury amid what SHMS news agency, a Gaza-based outlet, called an Israeli shell explosion. My son was injured in the head, his mother explained. Part of his skull was removed. And so what the free press is saying is, oh, well, you didn't mention CNN in that article that Israelis blew part of his skull apart and that that's contributing to his malnourished state.

35:22So is that supposed to be a propaganda win for Israel that in addition to the fact you're starving this child to death, you also blew up part of his head? Is that a win? Another one of the individual, the kids that they talk about here, they're like, oh, they also suffer from rickets. Do you know what causes rickets? Vitamin deficiency causes rickets. And you think that, oh, that's completely separate and apart? from malnourishment and famine and starvation. I mean, it's just so disgusting. Of course, the first people who are on the brink of death or who have in hundreds of instances at this point already starved to death.

35:58Yes, of course, it's the sick, it's the weak, it's the vulnerable. Those are the first people, often children, often infants or the elderly to die in famine conditions. That does not take away anything from the horrors of what is being perpetrated here. And I just, it's unbelievable to me that people put this stuff out and think that this makes Israel look good. Oh, congratulations. He had his head blown up, too. And he's starving to death. So it's different. CNN's lying. They're doing pro-Hamas propaganda. Like, disgusting. So disgusting. Zed has actually made the, I have never familiarized myself with Holocaust denial, so I didn't know the finer points.

36:38I'm learning now, thanks to Zed. We're watching in real time. So I'm backing you up. You should steal this. Zed informed all of us that a key tenant of Holocaust denial is trying to claim that many of the initial victims or purported victims had other, you know, preconditions. And that's part of the reason why they died. And, you know, the war was tough on everybody and it wasn't. Another one, which I talked about this with Ryan, was people talking about how there are restaurants in Gaza that are operating. And again, because I'm not familiar with the Holocaust denial, apparently that is a key tenant of why the war sought ghetto.

37:14was not so bad, was that the very filthy rich members of the Jewish community who could barter or trade or whatever could afford food. Actually, yes, they did have restaurants that they were available. But according to many of the accounts, it was an actual daily reality that you could have rich people afford food and people literally starving outside of those very doors, which is psychotic and crazy, obviously. But just to demonstrate that this is straight out of that type of denialism. Yeah, it's what it is. I had no idea. Again, I've never engaged with any of it like at an actual level but apparently this is a lot of what it looks like.

37:51We're seeing the playbook unfolding right before us. Well, the rickets thing I knew about. I was like, really, you're going to say rickets? It's like, yeah, do you know what caused rickets? When this Olivia Reingold tweeted it out she was like, she mentioned specifically rickets. She's the one who read every single tweet of Zoran Mamdani and said that it was journalism. If anyone's wondering. And they made a TikTok about it actually. She's like, I've read every single tweet Congratulations. It's not stalking. It's called journalism. Wasn't that what you said? It's called journalism. All right.

Limitations, terms and conditions apply. Let's go ahead and get to updates with regard to Israel because there are some significant ones. Put E1 up on the screen. Again, we've been so reliant on DropSite. They just do incredible journalism here, breaking things down. This is the statement specifically from Hamas, but they informed the Hamas movement, Palestinian factions have informed of their approval of the proposal presented to them yesterday by Egyptian and Qantari mediators.

40:45Some of the details here, again, per drop site. They say Hamas accepts ceasefire proposals submitted by Egypt and Qatar. Egypt this morning presented a revised version of U.S. Envoy Steve Whitcoff's 60-day plan. Based on the 13-point framework, Hamas had submitted amendments more than three weeks ago to the previous proposal. Israel never replied. Instead, withdrawing its team and threatening to, quote, conquer all of Gaza, Hamas official told Reuters the group has approved the proposal but provided no further details. That proposal, backed by Egypt and Qatar, calls for a 60-day halt to military operations and offers a pathway toward negotiating a comprehensive deal to end the nearly two-year genocidal war.

41:24Israel's response is pending. And I as far as I know this morning, there hasn't been any movement on the Israeli side. And so I wouldn't you know, basically what this calls for a 60 day ceasefire while the further phases are being negotiated out to completely end the war. I don't know. I haven't had a chance to talk to Jeremy yet. But personally, I don't feel very helpful that the Israeli side is going to accept this because they seem hellbent on their complete ethnic cleansing plan and are moving forward with effectuating that outcome. and putting that into place. Well, yesterday Trump also had a tweet where he's like, the only way we'll get rid of the hostages is the occupation or destruction or whatever of Hamas.

42:05But it is, I mean, I don't know. At the same time, there's long been a theory that the Trump rhetoric or whatever is about pushing Hamas to continue accepting the ceasefire. But part of, as you and I, because we cover it at a daily basis, this stuff almost always gets to the quote finish line where it's like 98%. and the Israelis are like, no, you have to agree to a full and total occupation for all time. And they're like, okay, well, no, we're not going to do that. And that always just breaks down. Or the government, I mean, if they actually agreed to it, it would cause a massive political crisis in Israel.

42:36The government could fall because the Israeli far-right ministers are against any deal whatsoever. They want full-blown occupation. They want full occupation. Already what they want. So, yeah, it's very questionable whether it would actually go forward. Yeah, I think so too. I mean, we've seen this playbook so many times where he'll, Netanyahu will either, I mean, at this point, I don't even, it seems like they don't even feel the need to lie anymore and pretend like they're doing things in good faith or like they're acting morally. They just are all out in the open, mask off with all of this.

43:03But in the past, we've seen him insert various poison pill provisions, even from the, you know, the deal. Remember back when Biden announced, we've come up with this deal and listed all the provisions and the Israelis are behind us, et cetera. Hamas is like, OK, we accept. And then Israel inserts all sorts of new provisions and makes sure that it's impossible to get through. You have the most psycho members of the Netanyahu coalition, Smotrich and Ben-Gavir, who are obviously completely opposed to any sort of deal. So I think it's unlikely it goes forward, but we wanted to make sure to put the news out there about the latest.

43:37We also have – we can put this up on the screen. There's this leaked audio from the head of military intelligence on October 7th. This is our friend Shael who breaks it down. He says it makes very clear Israeli policy is to kill tens of thousands of Palestinians, including children, and ethnically cleanse them. Quote, for everything, this is from that head of military intelligence, for everything that happened on October 7th, for every person on October 7th, 50 Palestinians should die. It does not matter if they are kids. There is nothing to be done. They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price.

44:12And Shail goes on to say this is not some rogue extremist. This is the heart of the Israeli security establishment. And this would be the type of person who would be portrayed, by the way, as moderate within the Israeli context, just so we're all really clear. I think we have the specific text of what this individual was saying. So here's what the leaked audio, what the translation says. The fact that there have already been 50 ,000 deaths in Gaza is necessary and required for future generations. OK, you humiliated, you slaughtered, you murdered. Everything is true. The price, I said before the war, for everything that happened on October 7th for every person, 50 Palestinians should die.

44:50It doesn't matter now, kids. I'm not talking out of revenge. I'm talking about this as a message for future generations. There's nothing to be done. They need a Nakba every now and then to feel the price. There's no choice in this disturbed neighborhood. There is no choice. So lays it out pretty plainly. And by the way, you know, at this point where we are, all the experts who have looked at this and estimated out say there's hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. We don't know the exact number who have been killed either directly by the fighting, buried under the rubble, died of malnutrition, of other illnesses, of, you know, not being able to get medical treatment for chronic conditions, etc.

45:29That's where we are at this point. We can to back that up. We can put E3 up on the screen because this is absolutely shocking. If you have any doubt about the extent of the horror and the outright genocide that's going on here, look at the fall off in life expectancy since October 7th. So the darker blue that you can see there that just absolutely plummets. A change in life expectancy of roughly minus 35 years. So 35 years on average being cut off of everyone's life in the Gaza Strip. unbelievable. And you can see the comparison to other brutal wars in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Syria, in Yemen.

46:15You know, Syria is the closest comparison. And it's, you know, at its worst, life expectancy dropped about 12 years, which again, horrifying, horrifying numbers, but pales in comparison to the scale of the slaughter and destruction of life in Gaza, where life expectancy has plummeted by 35 years. It's just to see it in that form as just absolutely chilling, Zagar. It's very grim. We can go to the next part too, just to show people this, let's put this, this guy, by the way, if anybody doesn't remember, is the student who cried on camera with Mike Johnson about not feeling safe on campus. Oh, I didn't realize that.

46:56This is Eyal Lore. Eyal is since probably one of the most prominent, I would say, Zionist propaganda guys on Twitter, He says, quote, breaking Israel is currently in talks with five countries, Indonesia, Samala land, Uganda, South Sudan and Libya about the potential resettlement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip. Kind of just saying it out loud. By the way, did anyone notice that like three of those countries are either failed or shaky governments with their war torn and they're desperate, you know, for something? Not exactly like thriving places that are capable of sustaining their own population, let alone like, I don't know, millions of people who would be expelled.

47:35So, you know, just think it's kind of important for people to see. What else am I thinking here? Oh, right. This last one, I can't get over this because it gives the whole game away. Let's go and put E5 on the screen. So I love how they just say this shit out loud and admit the game. The IDF is planning on asking the Jewish diaspora to encourage Jewish youth to join the IDF due to a severe manpower shortage. So let me just read that again. The IDF says that they have a severe manpower shortage and some, quote, estimated at 10 ,000 to 12 ,000 that are missing right now from IDF ranks. And because it would be too shocking to Israeli politics to draft the ultra-Orthodox who are all on welfare and live off of the dole.

48:20By the way, the dole that America pays for, just in terms – so people understand. They now say they will need to get some$600 to$700 additional soldiers each year from Jewish communities abroad who added that the United States and France will be the main targets of the IDF efforts. So basically the IDF is saying that the only way that they can sustain their manpower and Gaza is to basically propagandize and ask American citizens, residents of the United States and of France, to move to their country and to go and serve in their military, which they know will not result in them losing U.S. citizenship and also will basically, quote, deepen the ties.

49:05That's always the way that they talk about it. Between those two, face no consequences. And it's an open part of their recruitment strategy. Imagine if America was like, we don't have enough troops, so we're going to call on— I mean, actually, there's no parallel. There's no ethnic component of being American across the world. There's no other country in the world that could do this or get away with it. I mean, wouldn't people be outraged? Imagine if India and Pakistan got into a war and they were like, we call all Indians of Indian descent to come back and to fight. The Germans actually did this.

49:36The Nazis did. I forget exactly what it was called. They were like all loyal Germans. It's very Nazi blown soil behavior. Okay, there you go. So, yeah, what the Nazis did is, I forget the exact term. It's in German. But they were like, any loyal German must return to the fatherland to come and to fight for Hitler. It wasn't all that successful, just so people are aware. But that's effectively like the equivalent of what they're saying. They're like, any Jew who is really patriotic, the conflation of Judaism and the state of Israel, which is always sickening. I mean, just today Netanyahu attacked the prime minister of Australia who said that he had abandoned Australia's Jews because he was willing to recognize the state of Palestine.

50:17That literally just happened this morning. There is nothing more anti-Semitic than saying every Jew has to be associated with this genocidal Holocaust. Like, there is utterly disgusting. But I mean, also part of me is like, listen, if you feel moved to, you know, if you want to put like if you're pro genocide and you want to go be part of that, go like get out of here. But the problem is because they can come back. That's the problem. Because what happened? I mean, then they come back and they end up the head of censorship at TikTok or working for The New York Times or worse. Somebody protests them, an American, and they get investigated by the DOJ, which is literally happening.

50:52Correct. Yeah, that's exactly right. Right. So, yeah, I can't say that. Not to mention, I mean, it's just, yeah, it's very revealing. Another very revealing thing that I don't even know what to say about. I can't even really wrap my head around it. Let's put E6 up on the screen. There was a Knesset special committee on foreign workers that performed an investigation of the Thai agricultural workers who are there in the state of Israel. And they found that 654 out of 654 had reported experiencing sexual assault. 100 % of the Thai foreign workers who were there reported being sexually assaulted as part of this study.

51:36Now, they don't typically report it to the authorities. One can only presume because, first of all, they're worried about losing their job, losing their status, don't think they'll be believed, etc. et cetera, but in this person opines the same state that markets itself as a democracy, relies on imported farm labor, then turns a blind eye as sexual violence becomes routine, silenced, and systemic. So just disgusting abuses here that are lurking under the surface of the society, and sometimes not on the surface. I genuinely don't even know what to say about that. It's crazy. That's all you can't say.

52:11I don't know what's going on over there. It's, I mean. It's wild. It is really wild to wrap your head around. And I don't think Israelis, like fundamentally as human beings, are any different than human beings around, which is why it's so unsettling. Yes. When you see these polls that are like, yeah, they're all for the ethnic cleansing. Like even the quote unquote liberal ones, they're down with it. They are, you know, huge numbers are like, yes, murder every Palestinian. And you're just like, how does this happen in a society? and it's years and years of ideological propagandizing. It's years and years of complete and total dehumanization of Palestinians or Arabs overall.

52:54I mean, it's, I don't know. There need to be studies of what the hell has gone wrong in this society because it's truly sick. Intellectually, I can understand it because I've read a lot about it in terms of the, I mean, look at the way that Americans treated the Japanese, like Japanese Americans, right? And not only internment camps, but even worse, Like in terms of the propaganda and the way that we all looked at the war. And I'm not even talking about – I'm not talking just about the atomic bomb but really like the way that they would cheer it. And look, I mean that's not absolving literal Japanese war crimes and like barbaric behavior for 13 years in the war.

53:30But it's part of that where you could see how that could happen in the 40s and the 50s because that's when information was much more controlled. It's a lot harder to understand in the year 2025 in the age of the smartphone. It actually makes me doubt whether the information age makes people more informed at all. I actually think we may all be less informed than ever if you don't want to be. Because if you don't seek things out, you actually just won't see it. You can see almost anything of what you want. It's not even controlled by the government. At that point, it's like creating your own space.

53:58Self-censorship, yeah. Nothing can enter that, right? And so you can actually live in a reality where every child in Gaza is a Hamas. reading Mein Kampf from the time that they're two years old. Right. It's not the FDR people who have to tell you that. It's like, you're all socially reinforcing it. And it kind of bubbles up from the surface. But I don't know. I mean, it is genuinely a sociological study of like, this is a Western style country for years, or sold itself that way. It's always had weird, you know, little idiosyncrasies. But I visited there. I'm telling you, if you go to Tel Aviv, it did not feel all that different from Los Angeles.

54:32I really want people to understand that. And so to watch that, I was there 12 years ago. So to look at that from there to now, it's shocking. It's shocking the way that it's all flipped on. People I probably met and spent time with are either fighting or supportive. It's crazy. And I see that in their podcast where they say this stuff in English. And they're like, it makes me happy when I see Gaz and Starbuck. Dude, that's great. Those two guys, their podcast is called Two Nice Jewish Boys or something like that. and they're like, it makes me, when I'm watching a soccer, football game, it makes me feel better to know that Palestinians are suffering.

55:09That makes, that heightens the enjoyment of the experience for me. How fucking sick. Just sick. And you're right, intellectually, like, it is a hard thing, like, emotionally to grapple with. It's a hard thing to, Matt, because you think we've evolved and, oh, we have these, like, progressive values and we try to, you know, we don't live up to it, but we try to be more tolerant of all different types of people. And we don't have this like race science that says, oh no, different races are different. But they, Zionism is built on a supremacist ideology, on a Jewish supremacist ideology. And I truly think that that is a cancer.

55:46If you have an ideology that says one group is better, more deserving, gets more rights than another group, then all sorts of horrors flow directly from there. Because if they're not truly human, you can do anything too. You can abuse them. You can rape them. You can murder them. You can starve their children. You can lie about all of it. And it's that bedrock ideological foundation that I think allows all of that to flow. And then the use of religion too makes it extra potent because if God is saying, hey, this is like you're doing the right thing per God, that it provides this like moral justification for absolute horrors.

56:27So in any case, that's what's going on there. Thank you guys so much for watching. We appreciate it. We'll have a Wednesday show tomorrow. I don't even know what day of the week it is. Sorry. Today's Tuesday. Okay. Wednesday, Ryan and Emily will be in. Yes. We'll see you on Thursday.

57:32Caroline knew right away he was the man she would spend her life with. But then she got a text that changed everything.
