• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It is begun.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: The Democratic Party is now officially the pr arm of
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hamas Terris as well as Iran. Democratic Senaer Dick Durbin
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: now coming out as a lead Democrat in the Senate
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: saying it is time for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying, quote,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: we need a resolution the Middle East that gives some
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: promise for the future. This just weeks after the nine
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: to eleven style attack on Israel at the hands of
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Hamas that was paid for, funded and trained by Iran.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So why are the Democrats abandoning Israel because apparently they
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: hate the Jews. Take a listen to Senator Dick Durbin
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: calling for a ceasefire as Israel is trying to get
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: rid of the terrorist organization that murdered, raped, beheaded, and
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: stabbed to death and cooked in ovens infant children.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Bring us now as a Senace umber chie Democratic and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: also chairs the Judiciary Committee. Senator, thanks very much for
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: being with me, and I wonder if you agree with
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Attorney General Allison that more forceful public language on civilian
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: casualties from President Biden would be helpful.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: Well, let me say at the outset that what happened
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: on October seventh, the Hamas terrorism against Israel was outrageous
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: and barbaric, no question about it. Fourteen hundred people who
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: lost their lives in the process. Israel has the right
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: to defend itself and it has the right to stop
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: this terrorist activity by Hamas. Now let's get down to
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the reality of this confrontation. We know that hundreds thousands,
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: if you will, have been killed innocent people in the process.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It is time for a humanitarian pause. It is time
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: for us to count to the injured and bring them
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: forward for floating hospitals and other sources that can help them.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I think this is the moment we should seize.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I think a lot of people listening to people in power,
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: President you, sectary of Blincoln calling for a humanitarian are
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: asking themselves why is that different from a ceasefire? Two
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: years ago twenty twenty one, during an escalation of violence
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: between Israel and Gaza, you called for a ceasefire, and
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you said you quote couldn't disagree more with that Yahoo's
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: policies quote when it came to the treatment of Palestinians.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Is a ceasefire needed now?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: I think it is, at least in the context of
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: both sides agreeing, for example, the release of those who
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: have been kidnapped should be part of this immediate release.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: That should be the beginning of it. An effort should
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: be made to engage in conversation between the Israelis and
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: the Palestinians. Let's face it, this has gone on for decades.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Whatever the rationale from the beginning, it has now reached
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: an intolerable level. We need to have a resolution in
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: the Middle East that gives some promise.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: For the future.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: Have you told the President the White House you think
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: it's signed for a ceasefire, because that is a word
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: that the President is intentionally not using.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: Well, believe me what I said about seas far as
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: under circumstances, for example, the release of those who have
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: been kidnapped, as part of an indication that this is
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: a good faith effort on the part of the other side.
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: But I know I'm not communicated with.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: The White House on that good faith effort. Did you
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: hear the Senator Durban say good faith effort? What world
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: is he living in? Does he actually believe for a
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: moment that Hamas, who is willing to bake to death
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: babies in stoves in Jewish people's homes, babies with knives
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: stuck in them where they were bleeding out to death,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Babies whose heads were severed, infant children whose heads were severed,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: women that were purposely raped to the point of death,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: are going to somehow agree to give up hostages in
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: a quote humanitarian cease fire. What world are you living
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in where you think this is is a thing. Now,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: this all happening is there's an open hatred of Jews
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: that is surging globally, inflamed by this type of rhetoric
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: implying that somehow Israel is doing something wrong. Right now,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: obviously Israel is not doing anything wrong. They're doing exactly
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: what any country should do after they are attacked by
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: barbaric individuals and terrorists organizations. Now it's not just Durban
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: John Fetterman has come out that senator from Pennsylvania.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: He had this to say about Israel.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I am really about making sure that Israel is able
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: to do is.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: He deserves to do.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: We don't really know what that means. I'm really about
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Israel doing what Israel deserves to do. So that is
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: what you have from democrats I guess that are trying
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: to be like pro Israel MSNBC's Lawrence o'donnald Israel is
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: launching disproportionate attacks now, they say on the people. This
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: is more of that propaganda saying this nick. The phrase
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: that that's used to frame these events in the twentieth
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: century was proportionate response, whether it be the United States
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of America, whether it be Israel responding to some kind
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: of attack. The response was supposed to be, in theory,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: proportionate quote unquote. The twenty first century Israeli government seems
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to have deliberately and publicly abandoned the notion of proportionate
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: response into in effect, disproportionate saying we will hit you
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: even harder than you've ever expected. This seems like it
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: is deliberate framing it this way, that that's what they want.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: This is how MSNBC is now covering this. You have MEBC,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: who's out there NBC saying that it's unfair the way
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: that Israel is respond to ridding the world of a
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: terrorist organization that butchered innocent children, grabbed women and raped
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: them to death, or raped them and then killed them.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: This is now what you're what's happening now In a moment,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I'm also going to be joined by Senator Marshall Blackburn,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: who's going to talk about what's going on in the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Senate with us. But what we are seeing in this
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: country right now is we are seeing not only a
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: rise of anti Semitism, but we are also seeing new warnings.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: The former acting Customs and Border Patrol Commissioner has come
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: out with a start warning the day after the FBI
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: has said that they are very concerned about a terrorist attack,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and the former acting CBP Commissioner says that this is
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Israeli type attack that we just witnessed could quote absolutely
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: happen in the United States of American. Mark Morgan told
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Senator Blackburn the terrorist attack that happened in Israel on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: a over the seventh could absolutely happen in the United States
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: due to the unsecured southern border, according to his words
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: about the condition that we're in in this country, quote,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the answer is absolutely.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And this is what I keep saying.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Morgan said to congress Our Senator of Blackburn, you don't
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: have to be a border security expert to understand that
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: we have a national security crisis happening in our southern border.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: It's just common sense.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: What happened in Israel should be a wake up call
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: for two very important reasons. One, this is again the
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: former head of Customers and Border Patrol. It shows us
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that global terrorism is alive and well. Islamic extremists that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: carried out these atronocities in Israel they want to do
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: harm to our homeland. That commitment is not changed, it
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: is unwavering. And addition to that, it shows a colossal
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: intelligence failure. He went on to say, we know that
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that May of this year, the Director of the FBI,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: during congressional testimony, said he's concerned about the southwest border
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: as a national security threat. He told Congress that has
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: Baus absolutely still committed to long term contingency planning to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: do harm to the United States. The Department of Home
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: and Security just a couple of days before the October
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: attack in Israel release an internal report that said they
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: are concerned that terrorists organizations are going to exploit our
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: southern border, and just a couple of days ago, the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Customs and Border Patrol in San Diego put out a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: similar intelligence bulletin that they're concerned that terrorists inspired by
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: what happened in Israel right now are going to exploit
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: our southern border to do harm to our United States,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and yet this Biden administration, they're not even acknowledging that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: there is a correlation and that risk is massive at
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: our open southern border. I also want you to hear
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: from Bassam Yusef, who sat down with Piers Morgan, and
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear what he had to say
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: about what's going on with Israel and the Palestinians.
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Listen, now, other people said, well, okay, if you feel
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: that strongly, why aren't you taking in any Palestinians?
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: Why is Egypt not taking Palestinians?
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: Why does the Arab world want to constantly attack Israel
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: without actually offering any place to go for the Palestinians?
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: So what do you say about That?
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: Is exactly what Israel wants, and that is exactly what
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: it actually starts Third War three.
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: This is the worst solution.
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: These are Palestine, these are Dada lands, and then Sudd
• 9:44
  Speaker 7: take them.
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: Why so they've been basically kicked.
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: Around from their homes and now another country should take them.
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: You see what would happen? Imagine this now?
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: And because Israeli official has been talking openly about this,
• 9:58
  Speaker 7: it's like, why don't they just go and sign.
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: What do they go? You know, what would happen? Those
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: people are going to be.
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: Pushing Sinai and with any population two million people they
• 10:06
  Speaker 7: are living in refugee cam what do you think will happen? Unrest, chaos,
• 10:12
  Speaker 7: And then after a few years, the Western media will
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: come with their cameras like, oh, look at those Arabs.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: Oh they're killing each other. Oh Israel, it's good that
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: they got trade over them. And then they will go
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: to the West Bank.
• 10:21
  Speaker 7: And so then those three point November five million people
• 10:24
  Speaker 7: pushing to Jordan. This the whole idea, Why does Jordan
• 10:27
  Speaker 7: take them? Why does Egypt? The same question? Europe has
• 10:32
  Speaker 7: forty four countries, why don't they take Israel? America has
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: fifty states. Why don't they give them Florida? I mean
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: they we seem to complain about Florida the whole time.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Why don't they just like give it? Is the whole
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: idea is like, oh, you're Arabs. All they say no, no, no,
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: because what would happen the so if they all move
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: into Jordan, it's like, oh, Sally, why.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: Don't you take the Jordanium? So this is not not
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: a solution, I hear. I'm not taking a position out
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: of the way. Let me ask you, doctor.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I want to say something about Queen Rodya said, okay,
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: the whole idea about.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Like the West.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: I think, listen very carefully to what Yusef is about
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: to say about Israel and this war in the West.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: He's blaming the West for all this.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Right, nothing will make one feel happier after killing a
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: bunch of policy kids and a happy meal.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Listen, he's going to say that.
• 11:21
  Speaker 7: I think that in three weeks Israel morally corrupted the
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: West like no other. I think the West will have
• 11:29
  Speaker 7: a lot of time to recover because for years the
• 11:33
  Speaker 7: West has been telling us, oh, look, we're liberally, We're
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: all about human rights, all are equal, adopt our values.
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: And then suddenly you don't want to even to cease.
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: We don't want to even tell Israel to stop. And
• 11:44
  Speaker 5: suddenly we woke up.
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: McDonald's are giving three meals two the Israeli because like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 7: nothing will make you feel better after killing a bunch
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: of Fantasinian kids than a happy meal.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: This is the propaganda that the left is putting out there.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Nothing will make you feel happier after killing a bunch
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: of palacing in kids in a happy meal. Israel morally
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: corrupted the West like no other. The media is playing
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: into this. These are the terrorists who are literally sitting
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: there telling you that somehow they have become the victims instantly.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Now to combat that, Israel has now put out Hamas footage.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: They put out one hour, eleven minutes and thirty four
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: seconds of the Hamas footage of October seventh terror attacks,
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: and the IDF audio recordings have come out with this. This,
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: by the way, is one of the smartest decisions that
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: was ever made by Israel to do this, and I
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: made it through about thirteen minutes. I finally had to
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: turn it off because it was so horrific how they
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: were killing children, how they were killing kids. This also
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: comes as what we're witnessing on this in this country.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: University of Pennsylvania students refer to hamas terraces, as freedom fighters,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and the University of Pennsylvania students called the October the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: seventh attacks quote glorious, joyful, and powerful. These are students
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: at you of penn Listen carefully.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: A friend from.
• 13:29
  Speaker 8: Blackwell recently reminded me of something which I would like to.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Share with all of you.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Do you guys remember the photo of the.
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: Kids and men laughing and smiling as they sat.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: On top of this really military.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: Jeep captured by our freedom fighters.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: Ye remember that picture?
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 13:46
  Speaker 8: How about the photos of the bulldos are breaking through
• 13:48
  Speaker 8: the deathly border.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that picture.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: And the several other joyful and powerful images which came
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: from the glorious October seventh. Yeah, I want you to
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: picture those in your mind. I want you all to
• 14:04
  Speaker 8: remember how you felt.
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: When you saw those images and heard the news.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I remember feeling so empowered and.
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: Happy, so confident that victory was near.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: It so tangible.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Yea.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: I want all of you to hold that feeling in
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: your hearts, never.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Let go of it.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: Channel it through every action you take.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Bring it to the streets.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: Go down to the streets every day, and don't ever
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: let them feel that you quietly accept this genocide.
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: WHOA pay thy pla side.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Pray, pray palside.
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: From the reverer to the sea, from the river to
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: the set, from the ripper to the sea, placide will
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: be free.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: This is the University of Pennsylvania students referring to the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: hamas butchers as freedom fighters, calling October the seventh attack,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: a glorious, joyful and powerful day calling for the extermination
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: from land to sea, from c to sea, all the
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Jews will be gone from the face of this earth.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: All the Jews will be gone.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: That is what is happening right now on our college campuses,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: which brings me back to what I said a moment ago.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: The amount of open hatred of Jews surging globally is
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: not only disgusting, but there's also the fact that while
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: this is surging, it's happening on our college campuses, happening
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in Central Park, It's happening in Times Square, It's happening
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: at the University of penn It's happening in Australia in
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: front of the famous opera house where they're chanting gas
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the Jews. It's happening at airports in Russia where they
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: heard there was a flight coming in from Tel Aviv.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: It's happening all over the world and in America at
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: levels we've never seen before. The Hamas Terris attack is
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: igniting this open hatred that you can see everywhere, whether
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: it's Germany where segments of the Jewish population in Berlin
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: are now being forced to consider a question many once
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: thought unthinkable. Is it time to leave Germany? In recent
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: days there assailants have heurled two different explosions at a
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: synagogue in central Berlin, and the star of day David
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: was found put on the facade of several buildings where
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Jews live in.
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Berlin, just like they did back in World War Two.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: German citizens have been confirmed as being victims now of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: the horrific AMAS attacks. And yet well that's happening, this
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: is what they're labbing to happen there In France, the
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: star of David was also spray paint on homes in
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Paris on Tuesday night and what political leaders called a
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: chilling reminder of what happened in the nineteen thirties, Sixty
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: starved David's were left stenciled on walls in and around
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: areas around the French capital where a massive rise, they say,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: in anti Semitic instances happened. What did the government say there, Hey,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: if you're Jewish, watch your back.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: And we have the Democratic Party now that's calling for
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: a cease fire, a humanitarian ceasefire, wanting Israel to stop
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: filling the terrorists who did these barbaric acts for ten years,
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And when I say the only one, I mean it,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: they're the only one. They make a huge difference every
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: time that you pay your bill because they actually get
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: back to conservative causes and organizations to help you stand
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: up for what you believe in. While you're paying a
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: bill you're going to have anyways. This is the part
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that I love about Patriot Mobile. They're making a difference

• 19:55
  Speaker 2: from Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn, Senator.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Nice to chat with you.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Is good to see you the other day in the halls
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: of co Congress as well, and Hamas is holding. We've
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: been told at least five hundred Americans hostage and GAZA.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: That has not been what we've been getting in transparency
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: from this administration, and it doesn't seem like this administration
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: wants to talk about those numbers at all. Can you
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: tell us more about how we got to that number
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: and what may or may not be being done right
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: now by this administration to try to get those American
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: hostages freed, and.
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: We're quite frustrated with the administration not coming forward about this.
• 20:35
  Speaker 9: And then I think that Sunday when Jake Sullivan was
• 20:38
  Speaker 9: unfaced the nation and he said, you know, we've got
• 20:42
  Speaker 9: about five hundred American citizens. There are people that are
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: aid workers and people that were there visiting family and friends,
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: and they're stuck in Gaza. We're trying to work with Hamas.
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: Hamas has some demands. It's a challenging situation. Egypt's ready
• 21:02
  Speaker 9: to receive them. Israel is saying let's get them out,
• 21:07
  Speaker 9: but they didn't want to call them hostages. They are
• 21:12
  Speaker 9: skirting around using that term. So we looked up the
• 21:17
  Speaker 9: definition of what our government considers to be a hostage,
• 21:22
  Speaker 9: and it's people that are being held against civil people
• 21:25
  Speaker 9: that are not allowed to leave a country, and a government,
• 21:29
  Speaker 9: organization or individual is making demands of the United States.
• 21:34
  Speaker 9: So why they are tiptoeing around this and not saying
• 21:38
  Speaker 9: to Hamas, do not touch any of these American citizens
• 21:44
  Speaker 9: and get them out today, I don't know why they
• 21:48
  Speaker 9: are not doing that, because that's what you would expect
• 21:52
  Speaker 9: them to do. These are citizens that were they're providing aid,
• 21:57
  Speaker 9: they were visiting family, so let's get them moved out
• 22:03
  Speaker 9: of the country as quickly as we can. And the
• 22:10
  Speaker 9: fact that they will not say the word hostage is
• 22:14
  Speaker 9: indeed quite baffling, because not only did you have Jack
• 22:18
  Speaker 9: Sullivan say that, but you've also had the National Security
• 22:22
  Speaker 9: Council spokesman John Kirby say that HAMAS is making demands.
• 22:27
  Speaker 9: And by the way, for your listeners, HAMAS is in
• 22:30
  Speaker 9: control of the government in Gaza, and HAMAS is recognized
• 22:35
  Speaker 9: as a terrorist organization by the United States of America
• 22:41
  Speaker 9: and our allies, and we need to realize this.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: It's shocking to me that this administration hasn't been more forceful,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: at least publicly. And look, I always try to give
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: a benefit of the doubt when we're dealing with hostages
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: that hey, maybe there's some sort of conversations happening behind
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: the scenes. They're not trying to turn this into a
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: pr you know, catastrophe or and they're trying to get
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: them out. But based on the last three years of
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: this administration, that doesn't they don't seem to be very
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: good at this. When when you trade Iranians, for example,
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: for Americans and then you send more than a billion
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: dollars per person you're trading for, which is something I
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: thought we didn't do, which was negotiate with terrorists, and
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: then we find out that those same Iranians, while they're
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: doing that deal, are not only funding, but also helping
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: plan and train the terrorists are about to take out
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: this horrific attack against the Israelis.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of confidence.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: And if I was a American system with a family member
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: that's being held hostage one of these five hundred, I
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: wouldn't have a lot of confidence in the competency of
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: this administration and or the transparency even to the families.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: Are you hearing from families and what are what are
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: other senders hearing from other families that you've heard about,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: maybe from different states.
• 24:04
  Speaker 9: And I have Our office has helped nearly a hundred
• 24:09
  Speaker 9: people get out of Israel, and I've met with some
• 24:14
  Speaker 9: of the families that have Israeli Jewish family members that
• 24:20
  Speaker 9: are being held hostage, were taken from Israel into Gaza.
• 24:26
  Speaker 9: I have not heard from Palestinian Americans who have someone
• 24:33
  Speaker 9: that is being held there in Gaza, but we have
• 24:36
  Speaker 9: all the information on our website. If there is someone
• 24:40
  Speaker 9: who needs our assistance on any of these. But the
• 24:47
  Speaker 9: important thing to realize, and what you were just talking
• 24:51
  Speaker 9: about then, is with Iran. Iran is the world's largest
• 24:58
  Speaker 9: state sponsor of terrorist them. Much of that money we
• 25:01
  Speaker 9: put over to them in the Iran nuclear deal in
• 25:04
  Speaker 9: twenty fifteen, they have used to do two things. They
• 25:09
  Speaker 9: have used it to enrich uranium because they want to
• 25:12
  Speaker 9: get it just below that level so that they could
• 25:16
  Speaker 9: in a few months make a nuclear warheads. And the
• 25:19
  Speaker 9: second is they put that money into terrorism. They fund
• 25:25
  Speaker 9: Hamas to the tune of about one hundred million dollars
• 25:29
  Speaker 9: a year plus. As you point it out, they do training,
• 25:32
  Speaker 9: supplies equipment, and they do weapons, they do armaments, so
• 25:39
  Speaker 9: they are heavily invested in these terrorist organizations. You've got Hamas, Hezbela,
• 25:48
  Speaker 9: the Whosies isis, Syria isis the Rock, the Revolutionary Guard.
• 25:54
  Speaker 9: Iran is funding all of that. Now, this is why
• 25:59
  Speaker 9: I've led the for to freeze that six billion dollar
• 26:04
  Speaker 9: ransom payment that we made. And of course with the
• 26:08
  Speaker 9: pressure by thoughts in pressure from the Senate to freeze
• 26:12
  Speaker 9: that payment. Now you have the White House saying, oh,
• 26:16
  Speaker 9: we've got quiet agreement that we're freezing that money. That
• 26:20
  Speaker 9: money hasn't been touched, and we're saying no, we want
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: this to be formalized. Iran does not get the money.
• 26:27
  Speaker 9: And then we also are calling for the sanctions that
• 26:32
  Speaker 9: Donald Trump placed on Iran for their oil sales, and
• 26:38
  Speaker 9: he had driven down their oil market revenue from about
• 26:43
  Speaker 9: thirty billion little over thirty billion dollars a year down
• 26:47
  Speaker 9: to about ten billion dollars a year. Now under Joe Biden,
• 26:52
  Speaker 9: who has relaxed those sanctions, they're making a billion bucks
• 26:57
  Speaker 9: a week, a billion a week oil primary customers Russia, China,
• 27:04
  Speaker 9: North Korea.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Explain relaxing sanctions because this has been I think a
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: huge underreported story in this country, and that is Look,
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: we had sanctions because we knew Iran was bad. We
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: knew they were sponsoring terrorism, We knew they were giving
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: safe haven to people from al Qaeda, to ISIS, to
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: hamas hesblah, and funding terrorism you just mentioned. But if
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: they're not bringing in a billion dollars a day, they're
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: not funding this type of terrorism at this level. And
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: it seems like they're so emboldened now they believe a
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: they own this administration. Have them compromise somehow or somebody
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: in China does. They can do whatever they want to,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: and we're not going to quote enforce sanctions that we
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: already have on them much let's put new ones on them.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: So explain what they could just do immediately if they
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: just enforce the sanctions they currently have.
• 27:56
  Speaker 9: That's right. And see, this was an administrative's choice that
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: Biden made is look, Iran, We're going to just look
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: the other way and not enforce the sanctions against you
• 28:11
  Speaker 9: on the oil seals. Sanctioning Iran on their oil sales
• 28:18
  Speaker 9: means they can't take it to the market, and so
• 28:22
  Speaker 9: it minimizes their ability to move above a certain level
• 28:27
  Speaker 9: of production. Now, Hamas was basically broke when Donald Trump
• 28:32
  Speaker 9: was president, and that was a good thing they were
• 28:36
  Speaker 9: getting money from because they were stealing it from the
• 28:41
  Speaker 9: UN Relief and Works Agency and other entities that were
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: out there. But Iran didn't have the extra cash to
• 28:50
  Speaker 9: fund all of these terrorist groups. Thereby the Middle East
• 28:56
  Speaker 9: was quieter and you had to functioning differently. And of
• 29:03
  Speaker 9: course the Sunnis and the Shias each have some of
• 29:08
  Speaker 9: these terrorist organizations. So when Iran is able to make
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: that one billion dollars a week every week, they do
• 29:21
  Speaker 9: not use that money to feed the poor and to
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: provide education for children and to take care of the elderly.
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: It is going in the funding that terrorist activities win.
• 29:34
  Speaker 9: Does Iran do that? Iran has and the Ayahtolahs, And
• 29:39
  Speaker 9: this is the government of Iran, not the Iranian people
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: who desperately want regime change, but the government. They say,
• 29:48
  Speaker 9: destroy America, destroy Israel. They go in the streets and
• 29:54
  Speaker 9: they chant death to America, death to Israel. And that
• 29:59
  Speaker 9: is the same thing that Hamas chance. That's the same
• 30:02
  Speaker 9: thing that has full of chance. You had one of
• 30:06
  Speaker 9: the Halasa leaders that gave an interview this week and
• 30:09
  Speaker 9: said until they destroy Israel, they will continue to carry
• 30:13
  Speaker 9: out attacks like they did on October seventh. Batty said,
• 30:17
  Speaker 9: goal and I tell you.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: Know, and I know it's shocking and it brings well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: let me ask you this real quick, because I know
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: you've got to run, but it's an important one. At
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: the border. You mentioned terrorism and these terrorism threats. The
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: FBI Director Ray came out and said that he is
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: very concerned about a terrorist attack in this country at
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: a whole other level than he was before the Hamas
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: attack on Israel. This after We know from the Border
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Patrol and from the Department Home Security that we've had
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: more terrorists on the terrorist watch lists get caught coming
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: across the border this year than the last five years combined.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I am terrified that this open southern border, with ten
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: thousand coming across some days in a single twenty four
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: hour period, has been filling terrats, been filling this nation
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: with terrorists that we haven't caught.
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: They're in the godaways. Terrists.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: If you're on a terrorist watch list, are not trying
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: to turn themselves into border patrol. How concerned are you
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: right now about actual terrorists in this country planning attacks
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: like Chris eracity is at a whole other level.
• 31:21
  Speaker 9: I am very concerned. We know there are terror cells
• 31:24
  Speaker 9: in this country. We know in the months of October
• 31:28
  Speaker 9: alone you had thirty Iranians, thirty five pakistanis one hundred
• 31:33
  Speaker 9: Russians in two thousand Chinese present at that southern border
• 31:37
  Speaker 9: and ask for asylum. We have thousands of people from
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: what we call countries of interest, and what we know
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: is and we've got a briefing on this, Lindsey Graham
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: and I've called for it, when you pick up these
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: terrorists at the southern border. What are you doing with them?
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: We don't want them in a jail in Tennessee. We
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: don't want them in jails in Texas. They ought to
• 32:02
  Speaker 9: be sent to Gimo. So what are they doing with
• 32:07
  Speaker 9: these people? If you send them back to their country,
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: they're just going to come back again, and as you mentioned,
• 32:14
  Speaker 9: they might end up in either those known or unknown
• 32:18
  Speaker 9: Gota ways. This is a danger to our country. These
• 32:23
  Speaker 9: tear cells will activate, they will carry out something. I
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: am very very very concerned, Senator.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Always a pleasure to chat with you. We'll have you
• 32:34
