Couple of things here.
1. Maybe, by some technicality, you can say that the Judeans or Ancient Jews/Hebrews followed the 'Talmud' as an oral law as far back as 300 BC. Maybe. So they say, right? However, the Talmud was compiled and made official for Jews between the 2nd and 7th Century AD; transferred from an oral law into print by rabbis. It is not understood that anybody before Christ's time followed any 'Talmud' except perhaps through happenstance; through Christ's sacrifice, certain laws from the Torah/Old Testament no longer had to apply, NOT from any 'Talmud'.
2. Jesus dying on the cross did not throw out any rules for what constituted sin! He forgives them, yes. But he still condemns certain acts as being sinful. He upheld the Ten Commandments, and upheld the Old Testament's laws in general. He made Himself the sacrifice to pay for all of it, but he didn't change any rules.
3. Pat's a fat, uneducated buffoon, so of course he is wrong about this, and is even more wrong for saying that he's right.
And just for the record, what is now known as 'Judaism' is modern Judaism which is a newer religion than Christianity. Newer than Islam, even. The Talmud works like this for Jews:
Study the Torah -> is a part of it inconvenient? -> yes -> forget it, G-d owes us one anyway, we're the Chosen People lmao
