What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s own words— taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

I'd like to give a sheer to in to explain at least from my perspective what seems to be going on. Now obviously there's a lot of people walking around confused and a daze because the the events of last week which was of course the United States elections in many ways has been surprising and shocking. And people of course are totally And people of course are totally confused in terms of what's happening. So I think it's very important and very necessary to explain the logic and the rationale of what seems to be transpiring. Now of course from our perspective it doesn't make any sense. You know especially when we think about the fact that you know Trump is a Messianic figure which I've mentioned countless of times and that he's the concept of Tisha B'Av. and that he's the concept of Tisha B'Av. You see. Which is an individual that has to assist the Jewish people to do their tikkun. And of course I've said this many times. So if this is the case that would seem to mean that the Messianic process has begun at least on some level. I mean we're not talking about the Messiah obviously. Because obviously the Messiah of course is Jewish. You have the Messiah ben Yosef. You have the Messiah ben David. Yosef. You have the Messiah ben David. So we're not talking about that. But we are talking in terms of precursors. You know those things which seem to precede the coming of the Messiah. And there's no question that when you look at what Trump has done you know for the almost four years that he's been president uh it's obviously unprecedented in terms of what he's done. And all of it furthers the muzzle of Israel of the Jewish people. We see that clearly. And we also know
