Harris Abandons Israel on the 1yr Anniversary of OCT 7 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Today is the one year anniversary of the horrific attacks
0:06
Speaker 1: on the people in Israel. And on the one year anniversary,
0:12
Speaker 1: if you're the United States of America, you would think,
0:15
Speaker 1: especially if you're wanting to be the president of the
0:16
Speaker 1: United States of America and your name is Kamala Harris,
0:19
Speaker 1: that when you're asked about this major moment, and if
0:24
Speaker 1: Israel is a major ally, and if Israeli's Prime Minister
0:28
Speaker 1: nt Yahoo, who is who the people in Israel chose
0:31
Speaker 1: to be their leader, is an ally, you would be
0:34
Speaker 1: able to figure out how to answer that question the
0:36
Speaker 1: right way, which is, of course, of course net Yahoo
0:42
Speaker 1: is a major ally of the United States of America,
0:45
Speaker 1: because Israel is a major ally of the United States
0:49
Speaker 1: of America, this is not a trick question. But when
0:51
Speaker 1: you have people in the Democratic Party, the party filled
0:55
Speaker 1: with Marxists and communists and socialists and those that support
0:58
Speaker 1: actual terrorists because they hate the Jews so much because
1:03
Speaker 1: they're anti Semites, and you're running for president, you don't
1:07
Speaker 1: want to make them angry. Your radical activists within your party,
1:11
Speaker 1: you at every moment, at every turn, have to throw
1:14
Speaker 1: Israel under the bus because there's a large portion of
1:18
Speaker 1: the Democratic party that supports the terrorists Hamas and has
1:21
Speaker 1: Blah and the killing and the butchering and the mutilation,
1:24
Speaker 1: the rape of the hostages and the people they killed.
1:29
Speaker 1: One year ago today, Kamala Harris, in a sixty minute
1:34
Speaker 1: interview was asked about our special relationship with Israel, and
1:39
Speaker 1: she said this one day on Sunday before the anniversary
1:45
Speaker 1: of October seventh. So if you want to know what
1:47
Speaker 1: she really thinks about Jews, listen.
1:49
Speaker 2: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister
1:56
Speaker 2: and Yahoo?
1:58
Speaker 3: I think, with all due respect, the best question is
2:01
Speaker 3: do we have an important alliance between the American people
2:06
Speaker 3: and the Israeli people? And the answer to.
2:08
Speaker 1: That question is yes, a special alliance. Number One, here
2:15
Speaker 1: is a middle finger to you, Natanyahu. I am not
2:18
Speaker 1: your ally. I have taken my hand off of Israel.
2:22
Speaker 1: I want to make that clear. We have a quote
2:25
Speaker 1: special alliance. Now this enrages me and I'm going to
2:30
Speaker 1: explain more of why, because we're on the doorsteps of
2:33
Speaker 1: a nuclear Iran and Kamala Harrison Joe Biden has done
2:37
Speaker 1: nothing to stop Iran from getting this nuclear weapon. In fact,
2:42
Speaker 1: they've helped them get it by not enforcing the sanctions
2:47
Speaker 1: on their oil, and the amount of money that they're
2:49
Speaker 1: making off their oil right now has allowed.
2:51
Speaker 4: Their nuclear program to explode.
2:55
Speaker 1: Now I'm going to get into more of this in
2:56
Speaker 1: a second, but I also want to say on this anniversary,
3:00
Speaker 1: the one year anniversary of October the seventh, this one
3:03
Speaker 1: year mark, things are not going well in Israel. We
3:08
Speaker 1: can see that from the direct attacks now from Iran. Now,
3:12
Speaker 1: this one year mark is the mark of the worst
3:14
Speaker 1: massacre of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Twelve one
3:20
Speaker 1: hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred and
3:23
Speaker 1: fifty others were taken hostage one year ago. Today, yet
3:27
Speaker 1: the war in Israel is raging on Iran firing a
3:31
Speaker 1: massive barrage just last week of nearly two hundred ballistic missiles.
3:36
Speaker 1: Israel and her people are facing attacks from enemies on
3:39
Speaker 1: all sides now, and that is where the International Fellowship
3:43
Speaker 1: of Christians and Jews is working on the ground, providing food,
3:47
Speaker 1: shelter and safety to those in need during this humanitarian crisis.
3:53
Speaker 1: Since the war started, thousands of reservists every day Israeli
3:57
Speaker 1: citizens have left their families to serve their country. Soldiers
4:01
Speaker 1: have been injured and their families need our support now.
4:04
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm asking you to match me and
4:07
Speaker 1: join me with a gift of one hundred and fifty
4:09
Speaker 1: dollars to help the Fellowship of Christians and Jews provide
4:13
Speaker 1: food and other necessities to these families to help them survive.

Speaker 1: Thanks to a generous IFCJ supporter, your gift will be matched,
4:23
Speaker 1: doubling in impact today. So join us in letting those
4:27

4:57
Speaker 1: dot org, and your donation today will be matched. Now
5:04
Speaker 1: let's go back to why Harris would say this one
5:08
Speaker 1: day before the anniversary.
5:09
Speaker 4: Today. She had to.
5:12
Speaker 1: She had no choice because the radicals are running her party,
5:16
Speaker 1: and without the radicals, those that hate the Jews, those
5:19
Speaker 1: that are anti Semites, and that's exactly who.
5:24
Speaker 4: They are.
5:24
Speaker 1: They're anti Semites. She can't win this election. She believes.
5:32
Speaker 1: Even John Fetterman understands now that he must be a
5:39
Speaker 1: leader within the Democratic Party to stand with Israel. Yesterday
5:43
Speaker 1: he sat down on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Beam
5:46
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear what John Fetterman a A.
5:50
Speaker 1: And I want to give John Fetterman credit from Pennsylvania.
5:53
Speaker 1: It is incredible what he has said.
5:55
Speaker 5: Listen else because we can't count on them to help
5:58
Speaker 5: us do that. Senator, do you agree with the ambassador
6:01
Speaker 5: that Israel should move forward and disregard the advice of
6:03
Speaker 5: the Biden Harris administration.
6:05
Speaker 6: Or No, I really don't have any regard for what
6:09
Speaker 6: she's saying. And I'm not going to politicize. You know
6:13
Speaker 6: what's about in Israel right now, and you know, for me,
6:16
Speaker 6: it's about following Israel. And I've been very clear that
6:19
Speaker 6: my voice in that vote is going to follow Israel
6:21
Speaker 6: on that and whatever they decide to do respond to Iran,
6:25
Speaker 6: I'm going to support that because Israel will have a
6:27
Speaker 6: better idea of the intelligence and the circumstances on the ground,
6:31
Speaker 6: and that's why I'm going to support and follow that.
6:34
Speaker 6: And I also want to celebrate what Israel has been
6:37
Speaker 6: able to do. They've demolished Hamas and now they have
6:40
Speaker 6: humiliated Hezbollah and they are now cowering. And Iran shot
6:45
Speaker 6: you know, two hundred missiles and they vaporized those. So
6:49
Speaker 6: Iran now is left exposed and humiliated, and Israel has
6:53
Speaker 6: put them back on the ropes. And I am going
6:56
Speaker 6: to support what they continue to do.
6:59
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we wait to see what their response will be,
7:01
Speaker 5: and we know that they are often very long time
7:04
Speaker 5: frames in the middle eagones.
7:05
Speaker 4: I mean, you listen to Fetterman. He gets it. He's
7:08
Speaker 4: a democrat and he gets it. He understand it.
7:12
Speaker 1: He understands how important it is to stand with the
7:15
Speaker 1: people of Israel. But what are democrats doing today? This
7:20
Speaker 1: is what's even more disgusting. Anti Israel students and teachers
7:26
Speaker 1: are protesting at New York City universities and planning campus
7:31
Speaker 1: walkouts on the anniversary of October the seventh. Students and
7:36
Speaker 1: professors at several New York City universities have been planning
7:41
Speaker 1: these walkouts for today in what they describe as a
7:44
Speaker 1: widespread protest of Israel on the anniversary of Hamas's October
7:49
Speaker 1: the seventh tear attack on the Jewish State, so to
7:51
Speaker 1: be clear their protesting Israel after on the one year
7:56
Speaker 1: anniversary when they were massacred in the worst attack on
8:00
Speaker 1: Jews since the Holocausts, they say. The walkouts are expected
8:05
Speaker 1: to begin at eleven thirty AM at Columbia University, with
8:09
Speaker 1: law enforcement sources telling the New York Posts that police
8:12
Speaker 1: and Game of Security are where am preparing to monitor
8:16
Speaker 1: the situation. Jewish students are planning to respond with their
8:20
Speaker 1: own vigil and remembrance of the roughly twelve hundred Israelis
8:23
Speaker 1: that were killed on this day. The walkouts are also
8:28
Speaker 1: expected to happen on at least a dozen college campuses
8:33
Speaker 1: not in the country but across New York City. Take
8:39
Speaker 1: a look at Columbia University, for example. It became the
8:43
Speaker 1: epicenter of campus protests in the Big Apple during the
8:46
Speaker 1: last school year, with an anti Israel encampment springing up
8:51
Speaker 1: on the school's main quad. While clashes between demonstrators happened
8:56
Speaker 1: frequently quote unquote, the situation became so that security checkpoints
9:01
Speaker 1: were set up around campus, resulting in block long queues
9:04
Speaker 1: for students just trying to get into class. The anti
9:08
Speaker 1: Israel groups eventually barricade themselves inside a school building after
9:12
Speaker 1: their encampment was torn down and the NYPD was forced
9:15
Speaker 1: to raid the building to clear out the protesters. So
9:18
Speaker 1: what's happening now, all the same radicals on all the
9:22
Speaker 1: same university campuses on the anniversary of the worst attack
9:27
Speaker 1: on Jews since the holocausts. Well, they're going to spend
9:30
Speaker 1: their entire day protesting because they want the Jews annihilated.
9:36
Speaker 1: But what is the Democratic Party saying? Well, they're not
9:39
Speaker 1: saying much at all. Senator Eric Schmidt saying this about
9:43
Speaker 1: the radicals within the Democratic Party saying it's gaining steam.
9:50
Speaker 4: First, you're going to hear.
9:52
Speaker 1: Joe Biden in his own words before he was getting
9:55
Speaker 1: on Air Force one on the issue of Israel and
9:59
Speaker 1: should they si the Iran nuclear site it's an attack.
10:05
Speaker 7: On iron site fighting.
10:09
Speaker 8: The answer is no, And I think there's things that.
10:15
Speaker 4: We'll be discussing with.
10:16
Speaker 8: The Israelis what they're going to do. But all seven
10:20
Speaker 8: of us agree that they were right to respond if
10:23
Speaker 8: this respond.
10:26
Speaker 9: The Wall Street Journal out with a piece today quoting
10:29
Speaker 9: this Biden protects Iran's nuclear program The journal writes this,
10:34
Speaker 9: Iran attacked Israel for the second time in six months,
10:37
Speaker 9: but mister Biden tells Iran's Ayatola Komey need that the
10:41
Speaker 9: US will help the regime protect its most prized and
10:45
Speaker 9: threatening military asset. Joining me now is Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt,
10:48
Speaker 9: a member of the Senate Armed Services and the Commerce, Science,
10:51
Speaker 9: and Transportation Committees. Senator Schmid, thanks very much for being
10:54
Speaker 9: here this morning. Why is Biden protecting Iran's nuclear sites?
11:01
Speaker 7: I don't understand it. It's weird.
11:02
Speaker 10: Whether it was Barack Obama or Joe Biden, the Democrats
11:06
Speaker 10: have sort of obsession with assisting Iran and their plans
11:09
Speaker 10: to develop a nuclear weapon, whether it's the Iran Nuclear
11:11
Speaker 10: Deal or now this. I don't think you have to
11:13
Speaker 10: look too far into the future, Maria, for a time
11:16
Speaker 10: when Iran is so emboldened as they are now, with tens,
11:20
Speaker 10: if not hundreds of billions of dollars in their bank
11:22
Speaker 10: accounts from hostage payments and sanctions that aren't being enforced.
11:26
Speaker 7: Now they've been enriched.
11:26
Speaker 10: They were broke under President Trump, which is why they
11:28
Speaker 10: couldn't fund their proxies like Hesbola or Hamas previously they
11:32
Speaker 10: can now and now they're directly attacking Israel. Israel, so
11:36
Speaker 10: Israel probably sees into the future and is concerned that
11:39
Speaker 10: those could be nuclear weapons someday being lobbed into Israel.
11:42
Speaker 7: So I think the.
11:42
Speaker 10: Important thing here is Israel has every right to defend itself.
11:46
Speaker 7: We should speak in one voice, and it's up to them.
11:50
Speaker 10: It is up to them how they decide to protect
11:52
Speaker 10: their own people in the sovereignty of their country.
11:54
Speaker 9: Well, I mean, look, you're on the Armed Services Committee.
11:57
Speaker 7: You know, Biden claims.
11:59
Speaker 9: That he's I and clad with Israel, and yet in
12:02
Speaker 9: the middle of Israel's fight for its own survival, Biden
12:06
Speaker 9: was holding back critical weapons to Israel, and that certainly
12:12
Speaker 9: was a massive red line for Jewish voters. So I
12:15
Speaker 9: ask you, since you know this information you're on the committee,
12:19
Speaker 9: is the US sending Israel everything it needs right now?
12:24
Speaker 10: There's certainly been delays, widely reported delays in weapons transfers
12:29
Speaker 10: to Israel, And I think, sadly, Maria, for the first
12:31
Speaker 10: time in our relationship with Israel, which started with Harry Truman,
12:35
Speaker 10: who was from my state, it's become very political and
12:40
Speaker 10: the pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party is gaining steam,
12:44
Speaker 10: and so in an effort to appease them, they do
12:47
Speaker 10: these little, you know, head head fakes and winks and.
12:50
Speaker 7: Nods, and it doesn't help.
12:52
Speaker 10: Israel needs that question support that they deserve from the
12:57
Speaker 10: United States, and let Israel handle.
13:00
Speaker 7: Israel needs to handle.
13:01
Speaker 10: They need to wipe out Hamas, they need to wipe
13:04
Speaker 10: out Hesbelah, and they need to deal with Iran. Iran
13:07
Speaker 10: is now literally they're not just using the proxies. They
13:10
Speaker 10: are saying, we are attacking you country to country, and
13:13
Speaker 10: Israel has every right to decide how they want to
13:15
Speaker 10: deal with that.
13:16
Speaker 1: Uch, they have every right, I agree, But if you
13:20
Speaker 1: listen to what Joe Biden has said, and you listen
13:23
Speaker 1: to what Kamala Harris has said, they're saying, we don't
13:27
Speaker 1: have anything that sounds like anything we would ever do
13:31
Speaker 1: to back them up and or support them, like, that's
13:35
Speaker 1: not what we do here. We're not backing them up.
13:38
Speaker 1: We're not supporting them. We're not going to sit here
13:41
Speaker 1: and say we believe that they are on good footing.
13:44
Speaker 1: Now we're going to be the opposite of that and
13:47
Speaker 1: undermine them. We're going to do the opposite of what
13:51
Speaker 1: a real country would do with one of their closest allies.
13:56
Speaker 1: Because the entire wing of the Democratic Party has become
14:00
Speaker 1: so radical, has become so crazy an anti Semitic that
14:07
Speaker 1: on the anniversary of the most barbarica attack in my lifetime,
14:12
Speaker 1: that is a fact in my lifetime against Jews in
14:17
Speaker 1: my lifetime, they're going to celebrate that moment. They're going
14:24
Speaker 1: to encourage a celebration. In fact, they're going to protest
14:30
Speaker 1: on college campuses in essence saying more Jews should have
14:35
Speaker 1: been killed. Let me also just remind you about what
14:40
Speaker 1: happened one year ago today, because I think it's important
14:44
Speaker 1: that we just remember what really happened on this one
14:48
Speaker 1: year anniversary. Ninety seven hostages from October the seventh remaining
14:54
Speaker 1: Gaza is what the newest reports are, plus an additional
14:59
Speaker 1: four huh hostages captured before October seventh. There is now
15:04
Speaker 1: a total of seventy hostages that have died either on
15:07
Speaker 1: October seventh or in the month since. Thirty four of
15:10
Speaker 1: the hostages who remain in Gaza are dead. According to
15:15
Speaker 1: Israeli officials, Hamas has released one hundred and nine hostages.
15:22
Speaker 1: Eight hostages have been rescued by the IDF, including the
15:26
Speaker 1: recent rescue of an Arab Israeli Muslim on August twenty eighth.
15:33
Speaker 1: On August thirty first, the IDF retrieved the bodies of
15:37
Speaker 1: an American hostage and five Israelis who were executed by
15:41
Speaker 1: Hamas and these in southern rough after surviving eleven months
15:45
Speaker 1: in brutal captivity. The worst part is the bodies that
15:50
Speaker 1: have been recovered showed signs of torture, and the women
15:57
Speaker 1: showed signs of torture through rape. The children that were
16:04
Speaker 1: killed had been sexually abused as well. The US specific
16:12
Speaker 1: breakdown those that are killed and those that are hostages,
16:17
Speaker 1: forty three have been killed plus ten hostages.
16:19
Speaker 4: The number comes from the FBI.
16:22
Speaker 1: Last month, the FBI unsealed a complaint against AMAS leaders
16:25
Speaker 1: for the crimes of October seventh against Americans. The charges
16:32
Speaker 1: that have been filed in February and kept under seal.
16:36
Speaker 1: The language of that complainer stated this way quote as
16:40
Speaker 1: the date of the complaint. At least forty three American
16:43
Speaker 1: citizens were among those murdered, and at least ten American
16:47
Speaker 1: citizens were taken hostage or remained unaccounted for. Another way
16:51
Speaker 1: they put it in the complaint said this quote. During
16:54
Speaker 1: the October seventh the Moss massacres, Hamas terrorists murdered at
16:58
Speaker 1: least forty three the American citizens. Where's Joe Biden and
17:03
Speaker 1: Kamwa Harris for these Americans? As the filing of the complaint,
17:08
Speaker 1: at least six American citizens who were in Israel during
17:12
Speaker 1: the attack remain missing. Four additional American citizens who were
17:19
Speaker 1: previously taken hostage by Hamas and during the October seventh
17:22
Speaker 1: and Moss maskers subsequently released through negotiated exchanges. This all
17:28
Speaker 1: coming from the Justice Department. There are thought to be
17:32
Speaker 1: four American hostages still live. The fifth was Goldberg Poean
17:38
Speaker 1: one of these one of the six people now murdered
17:42
Speaker 1: and recovered on August thirty first. These numbers all coming
17:48
Speaker 1: from our government. Now, let me tell you about our
17:51
Speaker 1: friends real quick, Patriot mobile Americans. If you're like me,
17:55
Speaker 1: you are sick and tired and frustrated by a stalling economy.
17:59
Speaker 4: You're frustrated by inflation.
18:00
Speaker 1: You're frustrated by the endless wars of the left and
18:04
Speaker 1: the relentless assault on our American values. There are major
18:10
Speaker 1: companies that you are giving your money to every month
18:13
Speaker 1: with your cell phone service Big Mobile that are actually
18:17
Speaker 1: helping these things to happen, how because they give massive
18:21
Speaker 1: donations to Democratic causes candidates, including Harris, including Biden, including Obama.
18:27
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on, and they give money
18:30
Speaker 1: to organizations that.
18:32
Speaker 4: Pay for abortions.
18:35
Speaker 1: If you don't want your money going there, you need
18:37
Speaker 1: to switch to Patriot Mobile because Patriot Mobile was created
18:42
Speaker 1: after there was a group of conservatives that found out
18:44
Speaker 1: just how radical Big Mobile had gotten, and they believe
18:47
Speaker 1: in America, in our constitution. Now I'm proud to say
18:50
Speaker 1: I use Patriot Mobile. I am proud to say I've
18:53
Speaker 1: been telling you about them for years, and they are
18:55
Speaker 1: on the front lines fighting every day for our rights.
18:59
Speaker 1: Because when you you pay your bill every month, at
19:01
Speaker 1: no extra cost to you, they take about five percent
19:04
Speaker 1: of that bill and they give it back to First
19:05
Speaker 1: and Second Amendment Causes, Sanctity of Life groups and organizations,
19:10
Speaker 1: and they give to our military, our veterans, our first responders,
19:14
Speaker 1: and are wounded warrior heroes. So you can take a
19:17
Speaker 1: stand with every phone call you make. And switching now
19:21
Speaker 1: is easy because in twenty twenty four, you're going to
19:23
Speaker 1: use the same towers when you switch to Patriot Mobile
19:26
Speaker 1: that you're using right now. They operate on all three
19:29
Speaker 1: of the major networks in this country and they back
19:33
Speaker 1: their service with a coverage guarantee, so switching is easy.
19:36
Speaker 4: You do it all over the phone.
19:38
Speaker 1: Go to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot
19:42
Speaker 1: Mobile dot com slash ferguson, and you're gonna get a
19:45
Speaker 1: free month when you use the offer code ferguson. You
19:48
Speaker 1: can also call them and just make the switch over
19:50
Speaker 1: the phone. Nine seven to two Patriot is their number.
19:54
Speaker 1: Nine seven to two Patriot. Call them and make the
19:56
Speaker 1: switch and make a difference every day. Now, let me
20:00
Speaker 1: give give you two stories real quick, and two names
20:03
Speaker 1: I want you to remember on this anniversary. Keith Siegel
20:08
Speaker 1: is a grandfather born in California. Keith was last seen
20:13
Speaker 1: in a video released by Hamas back in April.
20:17
Speaker 4: And if you want to know.
20:18
Speaker 1: The the told that these terrorists, these kidnappers, what they
20:26
Speaker 1: do to these people. The video that we witnessed in
20:30
Speaker 1: April showed this grandfather gaunt and weeping, begging for help.
20:41
Speaker 1: They are beating the hostages, they are torturing the hostages.
20:45
Speaker 4: They are living in.
20:46
Speaker 1: A disgusting, vile environment, all created on purpose. Eden Alexander,
20:56
Speaker 1: for example, who grew up in New Jersey, and another man,
21:02
Speaker 1: Saigui da kel Chen, father of three, were spired alive.
21:08
Speaker 1: In late twenty twenty three by other hostages. A New
21:14
Speaker 1: York native, a man by the name of Omir, was
21:17
Speaker 1: shown being pulled out of a tank by Hamaska's gunman
21:22
Speaker 1: in a blurry clip that was recorded on October the
21:25
Speaker 1: seventh of last year. The washtim post putting these stories
21:31
Speaker 1: out there, reminding people of the human beings, the real
21:35
Speaker 1: toll that has taking place on those that have been
21:39
Speaker 1: held hostage. And yet you have Kamala Harris who goes
21:43
Speaker 1: out there on the day before October the seventh, and
21:48
Speaker 1: she doesn't stand with the people that were attacked. No, no, no,
21:50
Speaker 1: Instead she distances herself from the Israeli Prime Minister and
21:55
Speaker 1: Israel itself.
21:56
Speaker 2: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister
22:03
Speaker 2: and Yahoo?
22:04
Speaker 3: I think, with all due respect, the better question is
22:07
Speaker 3: do we have an important alliance between the American people
22:12
Speaker 3: and the Israeli people?
22:14
Speaker 7: And the answer to.
22:15
Speaker 4: That question is yes.
22:18
Speaker 1: It is really shocking when you hear her say that
22:21
Speaker 1: with just what I would describe as is zero compassion,
22:28
Speaker 1: zero kindness, zero understanding, zero empathy. This is how radical
22:39
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party has become. It has become so radical
22:44
Speaker 1: that she can't even say, of course, I'm I'm going
22:47
Speaker 1: to stand with Israel. Of course I'm going to stand
22:50
Speaker 1: with the leader who the Israeli people have chosen.
22:53
Speaker 4: Of Course I will stand with them. She can't do it.
23:01
Speaker 1: Because the Democratic Party has become this extreme. She would
23:05
Speaker 1: rather get elected and allow a Ran to continue with
23:10
Speaker 1: their ballistic missile attacks on Israel and to get a
23:13
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon, then to stand up and say, yes, of
23:16
Speaker 1: course I stand with Israel. Even Adam Schiff, right, And
23:21
Speaker 1: this guy's a scumback. This is a guy that tried
23:24
Speaker 1: to overthrow the will of the people, knowing that he
23:27
Speaker 1: was lying when he was trying to impeach Donald Trump,
23:29
Speaker 1: knowing that Steele dossier was alive. This is a you
23:32
Speaker 1: want to talk about an insurrectionist. This man got us
23:36
Speaker 1: to the brink of overthrowing the will of the American people.
23:40
Speaker 1: He was on Meet the Press. Listen to what Adam
23:44
Speaker 1: Schiff even said.
23:45
Speaker 11: I want to ask you to respond broadly to what
23:47
Speaker 11: you just heard from Senator Tom Cotton, who makes the
23:50
Speaker 11: case that we quite frankly hear from former President Trump,
23:54
Speaker 11: which is that part of why you have this unrest,
23:57
Speaker 11: this escalation in the Middle East is because, as Cotton
24:00
Speaker 11: just said, he argues, the Biden administration has been weak
24:04
Speaker 11: in its foreign policy and its policies toward the Middle East.
24:07
Speaker 11: What say you, how do you respond to that allegation
24:10
Speaker 11: that we have heard, quite frankly, not just from Cotton,
24:12
Speaker 11: but from a number of Republicans on the campaign trail.
24:17
Speaker 12: I think it's the kind of nonsense you here on
24:19
Speaker 12: the campaign trail. Look, we are where we are tragically
24:23
Speaker 12: one year after October seventh, because Hamas massacred, raped, tortured
24:28
Speaker 12: twelve hundred people a year ago, and they still retain
24:32
Speaker 12: dozens and dozens of hostages, including Americans. Hes below the
24:37
Speaker 12: day after Hamas began that war expressed its solidarity with
24:42
Speaker 12: Hamas by also lobbing projectiles into Israel. That's why we
24:46
Speaker 12: are where we are, and my heart breaks for the
24:50
Speaker 12: families of those hostages that have gone through a year
24:52
Speaker 12: of hell. But I think that we ought to try
24:56
Speaker 12: to put ourselves in the position of a state attack
24:59
Speaker 12: the way Israel was. We would never accept the continued
25:02
Speaker 12: governance of a terrorist entity like a moss. We would
25:05
Speaker 12: never accept a situation where our people are held hostage,
25:08
Speaker 12: as indeed they are today. We would never accept a
25:11
Speaker 12: situation where tens of thousands of our citizens couldn't return
25:14
Speaker 12: to their homes because a different terrorist group has will
25:16
Speaker 12: I was continuing to attack them. That's why we are
25:20
Speaker 12: where we are, and Israel will retaliate. If I were
25:25
Speaker 12: advising the Prime Minister of Israel, I would say go
25:27
Speaker 12: after those ballistic missile factories storage areas. That would be
25:33
Speaker 12: proportionate in my view, but it would also help degrade
25:36
Speaker 12: around capacity.
25:37
Speaker 11: Well, that was going to be my follow up question,
25:39
Speaker 11: which you just answered, so I appreciate it.
25:42
Speaker 1: I mean, I will say, even Adam Schiff says, if
25:45
Speaker 1: I was advising the Israeli Prime mister right now, who
25:47
Speaker 1: I would tell him to go after those ballistic missiles
25:49
Speaker 1: factories in Iran.
25:52
Speaker 4: But why would you then not tell them to go after.
25:56
Speaker 1: I mean, the place where they're creating the nuclear weapons.
26:05
Speaker 1: That is the part I actually don't understand. That's the
26:10
Speaker 1: part I just can't get my head around. How in
26:15
Speaker 1: the world.
26:18
Speaker 4: Can you not.
26:19
Speaker 1: Get your head around the idea that a nuclear weapon
26:22
Speaker 1: would actually pose a greater threat, a greater threat than
26:32
Speaker 1: the ballistic missiles are posing right now.
26:38
Speaker 4: This is a moment that.
26:40
Speaker 1: I hope all of you will sit for a moment
26:43
Speaker 1: and pray for the hostages. There are Americans that have
26:46
Speaker 1: been held for a year. There are Americans that have
26:53
Speaker 1: been beaten, raped, and tortured on a level that is unimaginable,
26:58
Speaker 1: and on a level that even if we're able to
27:01
Speaker 1: get them back, they're going to have to deal with
27:04
Speaker 1: this for the rest of their lives. And yet we've
27:09
Speaker 1: got an administration now that will not, on the anniversary
27:12
Speaker 1: of October seventh, actually stand with the people in Israel
27:17
Speaker 1: or even stand with the hostages that are American citizens.
27:22
Speaker 1: That is the part that for me is unforgivable. This
27:27
Speaker 1: is not for me a liberal or a conservative debate
27:34
Speaker 1: or conversation. This is, however, a legitimate conversation about right
27:43
Speaker 1: and wrong. This for me, is a legitimate conversation about
27:48
Speaker 1: good and evil. This is a conversation that everyone should
27:55
Speaker 1: remember forever. Okay, I want to say that clearly what
28:02
Speaker 1: side you were on. Were you on the side of
28:06
Speaker 1: the terrafts, Were you on the side of the protesters
28:09
Speaker 1: that were standing with the terrists, or were you on
28:12
Speaker 1: the side of those that were attacked on October seventh.
28:18
Speaker 1: What I clearly understand from what I have just witnessed
28:23
Speaker 1: is that the Democratic Party is saying, we are not
28:25
Speaker 1: on the side of the victims. We are on the
28:28
Speaker 1: side of the terrasts. We are on the side of
28:32
Speaker 1: the terraces who are having protesters on college campuses all
28:41
Speaker 1: over New York and all over the country that are
28:44
Speaker 1: going to stand together and celebrate Hamas and Hesbla's death
28:50
Speaker 1: and destruction of the Israeli people on a level we
28:54
Speaker 1: haven't seen since the Holocaust.
28:57
Speaker 4: You want to know why.
28:57
Speaker 1: This election matters, As if you needed another reason, this
29:02
Speaker 1: is exactly why. This is why this election matters. This
29:10
Speaker 1: is why this election is one that you need to
29:14
Speaker 1: look at all of the issues, all of them. This
29:20
Speaker 1: is one of those. I never want to be associated
29:24
Speaker 1: with a group of people. I never, ever, ever, ever
29:30
Speaker 1: want to be associated with a group of people that
29:32
Speaker 1: stand with terrorists that butcher and rape. I want to
29:36
Speaker 1: tell you real quick about my friends over at Delta Defense.
29:39
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks they're keeping their family safe, but are you
29:43
Speaker 1: really with the elections coming up. Anything might happen if
29:47
Speaker 1: you dare defend yourself, our twisted legal system will probably
29:51
Speaker 1: put you behind bars while the criminal walks free. See
29:55
Speaker 1: they've got us to a point where we're fighting to
29:58
Speaker 1: keep our Second Amendment rights at risk losing everything if
30:02
Speaker 1: we actually use them. That's why over eight hundred thousand
30:06
Speaker 1: Americans are members of the USCCA, because not only will
30:11
Speaker 1: you get access to their Protector Academy to learn vital
30:15
Speaker 1: skills like precision shooting and how to fortify your home
30:18
Speaker 1: against criminals, but you also get access to the twenty
30:23
Speaker 1: four to seven Critical Response Team and the included benefit
30:28
Speaker 1: of self Defense Liability Insurance to make sure you and
30:33
Speaker 1: your family are prepared for anything. And for a limited time,
30:38
Speaker 1: text the word America to eight seven two to two
30:45
Speaker 1: to get the uscca's free Life Saving Concealed Carry and
30:50
Speaker 1: Family Defense Guide and a chance to win seventeen hundred
30:54
Speaker 1: dollars to buy any self defense gear you need before
30:58
Speaker 1: it's too late. Right now, text the word America to
31:03
Speaker 1: eight seven two two two right now. That's eight seven
31:09
Speaker 1: two two two. Text the word America now now. I
31:13
Speaker 1: also wanted to play for you something else, and that
31:16
Speaker 1: was center. Cruz and I set down for the podcast
31:19
Speaker 1: that I do with him, Verdict with Ted Cruz, and
31:20
Speaker 1: we talked about this anniversary of Israel and that he
31:25
Speaker 1: brought up some really interesting points about the government's role
31:28
Speaker 1: and responsibility with our allies.
31:30
Speaker 4: I want you to hear part of that conversation.
31:33
Speaker 1: Take a listen, Senator, as we sit here, it's shocking
31:36
Speaker 1: that's the one year anniversary from a standpoint that they
31:39
Speaker 1: still have hostages, and I think we should start with
31:43
Speaker 1: that because this is a day for those family members.
31:45
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what they've gone through last year, but
31:47
Speaker 1: to even think it's been an entire year since they've
31:50
Speaker 1: seen their loved.
31:51
Speaker 13: Ones, it's been a year of living hell. As I mentioned,
31:55
Speaker 13: one and ninety five people were murdered on that day.
32:00
Speaker 13: The estimates are not exactly clear, but the best estimate
32:04
Speaker 13: is two hundred and fifty one hostages were taken on
32:06
Speaker 13: October seventh. Now, of those two hundred and fifty fifty
32:11
Speaker 13: one hostages, we estimate that ninety seven remain in Gaza,
32:16
Speaker 13: plus an additional four hostages who were captured before October seventh.
32:20
Speaker 13: And to review what has happened, seventy hostages have died
32:26
Speaker 13: either on October seventh or in the month since then.
32:30
Speaker 13: Thirty four of the hostages who have remained in Gaza
32:33
Speaker 13: are dead. According to Israeli officials and hamasas released one
32:38
Speaker 13: hundred and nine of the hostages. Eight of the hostages
32:42
Speaker 13: were rescued by the IDF, including the recent rescue of
32:46
Speaker 13: an Arab Israeli Muslim on August twenty seventh. Thirty seven
32:51
Speaker 13: of the deceased hostages have been returned to Israel, and
32:55
Speaker 13: on August thirty first, the IDF retrieved the body of
32:59
Speaker 13: American hostage Stage Hirsch, Goldberg Pollen, and five Israelis who
33:04
Speaker 13: were executed by Hamas and Southern Rafa after surviving for
33:09
Speaker 13: what was eleven months in captivity. There are thought to
33:13
Speaker 13: be four American hostages still alive. The fifth was Goldberg Pollen,
33:19
Speaker 13: and he was one of the six people murdered and
33:22
Speaker 13: recovered on August thirty first. The four American hostages thought
33:26
Speaker 13: to still be alived are number one Keith Siegel. Keith
33:31
Speaker 13: is a grandfather born in California. He was last seen
33:34
Speaker 13: in a video released by Hamas in April. He was
33:37
Speaker 13: gaunt and weeping. The second American hostage believes still held
33:43
Speaker 13: is Eden Alexander, who grew up in New Jersey, and
33:46
Speaker 13: also Sagi decl Chen, a father of three, both of
33:51
Speaker 13: whom were spotted alive in late twenty twenty three by
33:55
Speaker 13: other hostages. So we don't know that they're still alive.
33:57
Speaker 13: It's been some time since they've been spotted alive. The
34:01
Speaker 13: fourth Omer Neutra, is a New York native, was shown
34:06
Speaker 13: being pulled out of a tank by Hamas gunmen and
34:10
Speaker 13: a blurry clip recorded on October seventh, So again, it's
34:15
Speaker 13: been a full year since since Omer has been seen.
34:19
Speaker 13: And as for the total number of Americans. Last month,
34:23
Speaker 13: the FBI unsealed a complaint against Hamas leaders for the
34:28
Speaker 13: October seventh crimes and others, and the charges were filed
34:33
Speaker 13: in February, but they were kept under seal, and the
34:36
Speaker 13: precise language of the Department of Justice complaint is quote.
34:40
Speaker 13: As of the date of this complaint, at least forty
34:43
Speaker 13: three American citizens were among those murdered, and at least
34:49
Speaker 13: ten American citizens were taken hostage or remain unaccounted for. Wow,
34:54
Speaker 13: and look, I wanted to go through those numbers because
34:56
Speaker 13: it's easy. The News coverage will allide over what actually happened.
35:03
Speaker 13: Twelve hundred people murdered, two hundred and fifty one hostages.
35:06
Speaker 13: It is truly horrific. As you noted, it was the
35:09
Speaker 13: worst single day mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
35:14
Speaker 13: It's also one of the worst terrorist attack in American history.
35:20
Speaker 13: Americans are hostages right now. I have to say, I
35:23
Speaker 13: do not understand why Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do
35:26
Speaker 13: not talk about the American hostages, why they don't lean
35:29
Speaker 13: in and instead why they lean in repeatedly urging Israel
35:34
Speaker 13: to stop killing the terrorist instead of demanding that the
35:37
Speaker 13: hostages be released. But it was an act of horrific evil,
35:46
Speaker 13: and I will say, look, I remember in the days
35:49
Speaker 13: after October seventh, I reached out and I called and
35:53
Speaker 13: texted a lot of friends of mine, and I just
35:56
Speaker 13: asked him. I said, hey, I don't know if you
35:58
Speaker 13: have family in Israe, if you have people in harm's way.
36:02
Speaker 13: I got to say, bet. It was stunning to me
36:04
Speaker 13: the number of people I reached out to in the
36:06
Speaker 13: aftermath of October seventh who were directly connected to someone.
36:11
Speaker 4: The Jewish community.
36:12
Speaker 1: It's amazing how much of a connection there is between
36:14
Speaker 1: people in America and people that are in Israel.
36:16
Speaker 13: I've probably reached out to twenty five or thirty of
36:20
Speaker 13: my friends, and more than half of them had a
36:24
Speaker 13: direct connection of someone where they'd say, Yeah, my sister
36:27
Speaker 13: was there, Yes, my wife was there, my college roommate
36:32
Speaker 13: was there.
36:33
Speaker 7: It is.
36:36
Speaker 13: The Jewish community in America and the Jewish community in
36:38
Speaker 13: Israel are in many ways deeply interconnected. And the trauma
36:45
Speaker 13: and horror and evil of that day, October seventh, will
36:51
Speaker 13: go down as one of the darkest days in history.
36:53
Speaker 1: There's another aspect of this too, and it's amazing how
36:56
Speaker 1: in this country, and I think even the Democratic Party
36:59
Speaker 1: has really defended Hamas and they've defended that the people
37:04
Speaker 1: that did this, and you look at how they've treated
37:06
Speaker 1: these hostages and the reports have come out. You hope
37:09
Speaker 1: that if someone's taken hostage, at least they're treated humanely.
37:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's not happened.
37:15
Speaker 1: And I think that's part of the story that people
37:17
Speaker 1: need to understand the brutality of these terraces. They are
37:20
Speaker 1: starving these hostages, the bodies that have been found and returned,
37:25
Speaker 1: they talk about that it looks like they've taken a
37:28
Speaker 1: lot of abuse and malnourished and living conditions that are
37:32
Speaker 1: just horrific, not clean at all.
37:34
Speaker 13: Well, and they are using rape as a weapon of
37:39
Speaker 13: sexual violence. On October seventh, and sadly in the time
37:42
Speaker 13: since then, they have targeted and repeatedly raped women and
37:46
Speaker 13: young girls. I will tell you, and I've talked about
37:49
Speaker 13: this on the podcast watching videos of October seventh, watching
37:54
Speaker 13: what happened, watching the dehumanization of Jews by the Hamas terrorists,
38:01
Speaker 13: that they don't view them as human beings. And I
38:04
Speaker 13: think I shared with you that listening to the audio
38:07
Speaker 13: from that video that repeatedly the Hamas terrorists were referring
38:11
Speaker 13: to the Jews that they were murdering as it not
38:13
Speaker 13: even hear she but it they mutilated the bodies. They
38:18
Speaker 13: would often cut the genitals, burn the faces. That a
38:22
Speaker 13: lot of the degradation was focused on sexual violence, and
38:28
Speaker 13: it is a level of evil. You know, in ordinary life,
38:32
Speaker 13: you don't encounter that grotesque evil the way October seventh was.
38:38
Speaker 13: But I'll tell you, I'm reminded of the Book of
38:41
Speaker 13: Genesis when when Joseph has been sold into slavery by
38:45
Speaker 13: his brothers and then when he re encounters his brothers,
38:49
Speaker 13: what Joseph says to them is is what you intended
38:52
Speaker 13: for evil, God intended for good. And I think that
38:56
Speaker 13: principle is right. But what man means for evil to result,
39:01
Speaker 13: God can use for good. And I do think in
39:04
Speaker 13: the past year there are two significant consequences of October seventh,
39:10
Speaker 13: both of which have been very, very good. One is
39:16
Speaker 13: clarity this October seventh in the aftermath, I don't think,
39:24
Speaker 13: to my mind, there is no gray. This is a
39:26
Speaker 13: battle between good and evil. This is a battle between
39:28
Speaker 13: civilization and barbarism. And everyone has to decide where you stand.
39:33
Speaker 13: Do you stand with the people of Israel or do
39:36
Speaker 13: you stand with the Hamas terrorists? And that clarity, I
39:40
Speaker 13: think has been incredibly valuable in the political world for
39:43
Speaker 13: elected officials to decide who do I stand with. It
39:47
Speaker 13: also has been incredibly valuable on college campuses. It is
39:51
Speaker 13: unmasked and revealed vicious, vicious anti Semitism. That clarity is important.
39:57
Speaker 13: If we're going to combat evil, we have to see
40:00
Speaker 13: and understand and know who we're dealing with and have
40:02
Speaker 13: it be out in the open. And I think that
40:04
Speaker 13: clarity has been enormously consequential and enormous, enormously beneficial. But
40:10
Speaker 13: I think secondly, a second, very good consequence of the
40:14
Speaker 13: horrific evil of what happened on that day is Israel's
40:19
Speaker 13: stated commitment to utterly and completely eliminate Hamas, yeah and
40:23
Speaker 13: eliminating Hamas, And they have made incredible progress eliminating Hamas
40:27
Speaker 13: and now eliminating many of the leaders of Hesbela as well.
40:32
Speaker 13: Eliminating Hamas and eliminating Hesbela is unequivocally good for the
40:36
Speaker 13: national security of Israel, and it is unequivocally good for
40:40
Speaker 13: the national security of America. And so both of those
40:42
Speaker 13: consequences have real and lasting effect in Israel, in America,
40:47
Speaker 13: and across the world.
40:48
Speaker 1: Let's talk about there was something I'll never forget. You
40:52
Speaker 1: saw it before I did, and I was asked to
40:55
Speaker 1: come watch the videos of the attack on this day.
41:00
Speaker 1: You saw it with I think several other senators if.
41:02
Speaker 13: I had out of state senators, about half the Senate
41:04
Speaker 13: went and watched.
41:04
Speaker 1: It, and I was asked to go to ISRAELI consulate
41:07
Speaker 1: and watch and to have a briefing. And I will
41:11
Speaker 1: never forget what I witnessed. I think you're probably the same,
41:16
Speaker 1: but it also was.
41:17
Speaker 13: It made me physically sick, yes, like it made you
41:20
Speaker 13: want to vomit watching. And this is not Hollywood's sort
41:24
Speaker 13: of play acting. These are real people being murdered by
41:31
Speaker 13: people filled with genocidal hate. It was Nazi tactics for
41:37
Speaker 13: Nazi purposes carried out that day.
41:39
Speaker 1: I watched it, and I watched it, and I never
41:41
Speaker 1: wanted to see it again. I'm glad that I saw
41:44
Speaker 1: it because you understand who you're up against. And I
41:47
Speaker 1: also maybe very clear that they trained with the help
41:51
Speaker 1: of Iran. Yes, and without Iran's funding, I don't think
41:55
Speaker 1: it would have happened a year ago today, And now
41:58
Speaker 1: we see Iran doing exactly what we knew they were
42:00
Speaker 1: doing all along, directly now trying to take out Israel.
42:04
Speaker 1: That's another aspect of when you talk about good and evil,
42:08
Speaker 1: and evil can can show what's happening, and then there
42:11
Speaker 1: can be good that comes from I think anyone that
42:13
Speaker 1: doesn't understand now the threat to the world from Iran,
42:17
Speaker 1: you're blind. We saw what they did with these ballistic
42:20
Speaker 1: missile attacks just days ago. What happens next now with that,
42:25
Speaker 1: because that's a large part of this story.
42:27
Speaker 13: Look, I think it is one of the most consequential
42:30
Speaker 13: elements of this election. In November, we're right about thirty
42:34
Speaker 13: days away, just over thirty days away from the election,
42:38
Speaker 13: and if Donald Trump is reelected, if we have a
42:41
Speaker 13: Republican Senate, a Republican House, the billions of dollars that
42:45
Speaker 13: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the Democrats have flowed
42:47
Speaker 13: to Iran, that stops in January. Over four years, Joe Biden,
42:52
Speaker 13: Kamala Harris have flowed over one hundred billion dollars to Iran.
42:58
Speaker 13: It's a massive amount out of money. Ninety percent of
43:02
Speaker 13: the budget for Hamas comes from Iran, ninety percent of
43:04
Speaker 13: the budget for Hesbula comes from Iran. So, in a
43:07
Speaker 13: very real sense, the death squads that carried out horrific
43:12
Speaker 13: rapes and murders on October seventh were paid for by
43:16
Speaker 13: this White House. I gotta say I don't understand. I mean,
43:20
Speaker 13: we spent a lot of time in this podcast talking
43:22
Speaker 13: about the ideology of the hard left, but I genuinely
43:25
Speaker 13: don't understand why you would send billions of dollars to
43:30
Speaker 13: people who want to murder you. Because the iatola is
43:33
Speaker 13: not subtle. They are not yet the Iatola chance death
43:38
Speaker 13: to America and death to Israel. He refers to Israel
43:43
Speaker 13: as the little Satan, in America as the great Seat.
43:47
Speaker 13: And we should be absolutely clear that if he could
43:50
Speaker 13: murder you or me or any of us, he would,
43:53
Speaker 13: And to be clear, the Iatola and Iran is actively
43:56
Speaker 13: trying to murder Donald Trump right now and is paying
43:58
Speaker 13: for hitmen and assassin to try to carry that out.
44:01
Speaker 13: And yet there is something in the ideology of the
44:05
Speaker 13: far left that giving him billions of dollars to enable
44:08
Speaker 13: him to wage genocidal war against Israel and kill Jews
44:12
Speaker 13: and to target Americans somehow make sense to this White House.
44:16
Speaker 13: I am aware of their positions and look in public discourse,
44:22
Speaker 13: I try to you try to show grace to those
44:27
Speaker 13: on the other side and understand them. I genuinely have
44:31
Speaker 13: a hard time if you asked me to articulate their argument.
44:35
Speaker 4: What is it?
44:37
Speaker 13: I don't know how to think that way, to say, Hey,
44:40
Speaker 13: this person wants to murder me, let's give him a
44:42
Speaker 13: bunch of money. I don't get that.
44:43
Speaker 1: Final question on this, and it comes up to the
44:46
Speaker 1: issue of the Iran nuclear site. Iran is clearly trying
44:49
Speaker 1: to get a nuclear weapon. There was a report that
44:51
Speaker 1: came out that they could be days away, weeks away,
44:54
Speaker 1: as in not less than a month. It's been interesting
44:58
Speaker 1: to see how the American media is frame this. It's
45:01
Speaker 1: like they've asked the White House their thoughts on do
45:03
Speaker 1: you take out this site? You know what they want
45:06
Speaker 1: to do, you know what they're chanting, and they've said
45:08
Speaker 1: they've kind of punted and said, well, this is up
45:10
Speaker 1: to Israel if they want.
45:11
Speaker 4: To do that.
45:13
Speaker 1: You look at that rhetoric, and you look at the
45:15
Speaker 1: White House kind of just not really taking a stand
45:17
Speaker 1: on this. I think a nuclear ran is a threat
45:19
Speaker 1: to the world. Yes, they're obviously a threat to Israel,
45:21
Speaker 1: but they're a threat to the world. When you look
45:24
Speaker 1: at this position of we'll punt to Israel, is that
45:28
Speaker 1: a good foreign policy from Biden Harris?
45:31
Speaker 13: Well, and understand it's also a dodge Listen. Of course,
45:34
Speaker 13: this White House, Kamala Harris doesn't want to do anything
45:37
Speaker 13: to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. Today, a
45:41
Speaker 13: year after October seventh, they're still not enforcing the oil sanctions.
45:45
Speaker 13: Today Iran is selling two million barrels of oil a day.
45:49
Speaker 13: They could stop that if they wanted to.
45:51
Speaker 1: And what was it when I think it's important to
45:53
Speaker 1: remind people how many barrels of oil was Iran selling
45:56
Speaker 1: when Donald Trump was in office at the end of
45:58
Speaker 1: his three hundred thousand That's why they were broke, and
46:01
Speaker 1: that's why you were seeing unrest in the country because
46:03
Speaker 1: without oil money that there broke.
46:05
Speaker 13: The regime was was near collapse. And Joe Biden, Kamala
46:09
Speaker 13: Harris revived Life Preserver gave them a massive subsidy. I
46:15
Speaker 13: mean it is they gave him CPR. Yes, yes, that
46:19
Speaker 13: they were their lifeline. And look saying that's up to
46:24
Speaker 13: Israel to decide, you know, I'm reminded of many many
46:27
Speaker 13: years ago when Obama was president. There was an article
46:29
Speaker 13: in The Atlantic by Jeffrey Goldberg and it got a
46:32
Speaker 13: lot of attention at the time. And and and what
46:34
Speaker 13: got attention is it was an insult from an unnamed
46:41
Speaker 13: senior official in the Abiden White House in the in
46:44
Speaker 13: the Obama White House. Rather who what got all the attention.
46:48
Speaker 13: He referred to Benjamin Nett, Yahoo was the Prime Minister
46:51
Speaker 13: of Israel then as well, and and and he used
46:54
Speaker 13: an epithet that that that because this is a kid
46:57
Speaker 13: friendly show, I won't repeat other than to say it
46:59
Speaker 13: was poultry, and he was a little more colorful than that,
47:02
Speaker 13: and that got all the attention. And I remember at
47:05
Speaker 13: the time that article came out, I thought it wasn't
47:08
Speaker 13: news at all. It was obvious that's what the Obama
47:11
Speaker 13: White House thought of Nanya, who They treated him that
47:13
Speaker 13: way every day. So I was like, what's the news
47:15
Speaker 13: in this. They're saying what they obviously believe. The most
47:18
Speaker 13: consequential element of that article to me was a different
47:21
Speaker 13: quote attributed to the same senior advisor in the White House.
47:26
Speaker 13: And by the way, there's a lot of speculation in
47:28
Speaker 13: Washington that that quote senior advisor was named Barack Obama,
47:31
Speaker 13: that it was the president pretending to be a senior advisor.
47:34
Speaker 13: I don't know that for sure, but that's the surprise.
47:37
Speaker 13: That's the diplomatic chatter in Washington. But the quote was
47:43
Speaker 13: something to the effect of the very best thing is
47:46
Speaker 13: we have delayed Israel from acting militarily for so long
47:51
Speaker 13: that they no longer have the military capacity to stop
47:55
Speaker 13: Iran from acquiring a nuclear arsenal. The sentence that was chilling.
48:01
Speaker 13: Look this White House, they're not stupid. They know the
48:04
Speaker 13: endgame of what they're playing is a nuclear Iran, and
48:07
Speaker 13: I think ideologically they believe America has no right to
48:10
Speaker 13: stop the Iatola from getting nuclear weapons. I think that
48:14
Speaker 13: makes no sense at all, and it is one of
48:16
Speaker 13: the many ways in which Americans are much less safe
48:19
Speaker 13: today because of the weakness of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
48:23
Speaker 13: and tragically twelve hundred Israelis lost their lives a year
48:29
Speaker 13: ago today because of that weakness.
