Democrats now BACKING HAMAS A TERRORIST ORG OVER ISRAEL, Plus GOP pushing for Americans to go back to work! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We have been completely silent as Israel is under attack.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: The unrest in Jerusalem is prompted Senor Marsha Blackburn and
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: many other centers to strike at the heart of the
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: anti Israel terrorist funding. In fact, there is now an
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: introduction of a bill, the Hezbollah Money Laundering Prevention Act
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty one, to try and choke off the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: financial flow into the terrorist group that is vowing to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: eradicate the Jewish state and that we should all be
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: afraid of. These are the people that back the attacks
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on innocent men and women and children, including attacks on
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: schools that are happening right now in Israel. I want
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you to listen to what Marshall Blackburn had to say.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: You're Center Blackburn about this legislation and emboldened by some
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: of the actions and statements that have come out of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration. So what this would do is clamped
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: down on their a bill to have access to the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: US banking system and Eric as you know, Section three
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: eleven of the Patriot Act put basically some guardrails in place.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And what this would do is prohibit individuals that are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: carrying out activity or entities that are carrying out activity
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: would make it more difficult for them, and that is
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: what we want to do. We know Iran is the
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: largest state sponsor of terrorism that there is. We know
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: that these terrorists groups depend on getting money from some
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of these sources that are not friendly to the US,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: So we're just trying to make it more difficult for
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: them to have access to those funds. We're making it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: difficult for them to launder those dollars. The United States
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of America, We're going to stand with Israel and we
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: are not going to take actions or allow actions to
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: continue that are going to embolden our enemies. You know, Eric,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: it is vitally important for our allies to know that
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: they are our friends and we stand with them, and
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: equally important that our enemies understand that we know they
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: are our adversary and we are not going to take
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: actions that are going to make it easier for them
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: to attack us. The Senator's legislation, of course, made the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: left go crazy right because it would invoke part of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the US Patriot Act to designate jurisdictions in Lebanon that
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: serve as money laundering havens to fund the terrorist groups.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: The US State Department, which has long classified as Plaus,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: a terrorist organization and global terrorist threat says the Iran
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: that Iran helped support it to the tune of over
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: seven hundred million a year. Now, this bill, which makes sense,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: which should be bipartisan, but we're already seeing the left
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: starting to balk at this because apparently they love Hezbalah. Right,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the gang of whatever idiots in the Democratic Party, the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: AOCS and the Alamo mars and others are basically the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: mouthpieces for Hezblah in the United States government. It's so sick,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and I'll deal with that in a moment. But what
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Marsha Blackburn says is the toughest This would represent the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: toughest sanctions on Hezblah ever proposed by Congress, which could
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: result in the lack of resources need to continue their
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: terrorist agenda in the region and abroad. Now, I don't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: think the Hezbla is ever going to go away, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: this would certainly do a hell of a lot to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: stop them. It would sanction the banks and companies and
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: other entities that provide Hezbalah support. There are groups and
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: think about these banks and Lebanon other places. They want
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: seven hundred million dollars a year coming through their banks.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: That's why this bill would block US bank accounts tied
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to these that support Hezblah. It would require detailed report
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: on the Lebanese leaders who provide support to the group,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and it would allow President Biden to impose more sanctions
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: on these banks, on these companies and other entities, which
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure he wants to do because apparently he's
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: not much of a friend of Israel. Now. The Senate
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: legislation that was introduced in twenty nineteen did not go
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: as far as Center Blackburn's measures, and clearly now we
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: need to do it. That legislation nineteen merely just cited
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the Lebanese government and called on the Lebanes armed forces
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: to limit or expel Hezblah influenced military personnel, which of
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: course they haven't done. It also seeks for Lebanons armed
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: forces to disarm Hezblah, which they have not done either.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You want to target these terrorist groups, the way you
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: do it is by denying them the funds that enable
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: them to carry out their terrorist actions. You look at
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the massive amounts of rockets that have been coming to Israel,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and I want to play for you part of this
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: news report that came out on Fox. The Israeli government
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: has come out and said, look, not only did Hamas
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: fire forty five plus rockets at Israel at one time,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you can see it clearly in the air, broad daylight,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: but they're targeting schools. Now, listen to part of this.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: That's Israel firing missiles into northern Gaza as Hamas fires
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: over forty five rockets aimed towards Jerusalem. This is according
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to new reporting now from the IDF, that's the Israeli
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Defense Force. It comes as tensions continue to ratch up
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: in the region following what has been a week's long
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: new spate of military conflict. Trey Inks joins US now
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: from Israel with details on the ground. High Trey, Jillian
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon. This was a red line for Israel firing
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on Jerusalem. Earlier this evening. Seven rock gets targeted the city,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and dozens of rockets have targeted communities along the Gaza border.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Here where we are standing. The past thirty minutes have
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: been quiet, but the IDF, the Israeli Defense Forces are preparing,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: they say, for days of fighting along the Gaza border.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: We spoke earlier with sources inside Gaza, who have confirmed
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: that the Israelis are now responding with air strikes inside
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the Gaza strip. According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, nine
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Gazans have been killed, including three children, in this Israeli retaliation.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: How did we get here, that's the big question. Well,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: this week has been extremely tense. There were protests across
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem that turned to riots early this morning. More than
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: three hundred Palestinians were injured at the Alaxa Mosque as
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Israeli security forces stormed in. All of this related to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: two major issues having to do with access to Alaxa
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and also the Sheik Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem. Those are
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: very local and focused issues for this conflict, but as
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we have seen tonight, this is evolving into a much
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: larger situation. I want to get some information that we're
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: getting here from the Israeli military. They are calling this
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: a severe assault on Israel. They say they hold Hamas,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: the group and control of Gaza responsible, saying Hamas will
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: bear the consequences. We also know, according to the Israeli
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: defense spokesperson, that a Hamas military commander was targeted in
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: some of this Israeli retaliation. This hour, and this takes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: things to a different level inside Gaza because the factions
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: there then say they need to respond. There are two
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: big factions inside Gaza. One is Hamas and the other
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: is Islamic Jihad. Both of them have fired rockets tonight
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: into southern Israel and central Israel. In the past. The
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: last major round only focused on Islamic Jihad. So the
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: fact that Hamas is getting involved in the fight means
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: that this is turning into a serious conflict for the region.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: And as you can see behind me, police have blocked
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: off roads leading to the Gaza border itself. We're just
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: about a mile away from the border and there are
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: bomb shelters opened all around us. It's very quiet in
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: this city of Studaup because people are preparing further conflict.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know why the Biden administration has not come
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: out immediately and condemned this violence and the attacks by
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: these terrorist organizations, not one, but two terrorist organizations that
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: are clearly trying to target and kill innocent people. This
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: administration should always stand by our ally Israel. That's something
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: that we should do. Israel is not a terrorist nation.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Israel is a friend of the United States and has
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: helped protect us and innocent people in the Middle East
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and help US attack terrorists in the Middle East. Four decades.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: This administration and Joe Biden should easily be able to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: put it themselves out in front of a podium to
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: denounce and demand the top of the terrorist attacks on Israel.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: But they're not doing it. And the reason why they're
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: not doing is because I guess they come US. I
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: guess they like Hesla, I guess they like Isis and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: is so right these Islamic state people over there, they're
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: attacking the Jews. What's even more discussing is the Democratic
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Party isn't even calling out one of their own and representative, Talib,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: who had this to say about Israel today. I first
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: want to get your reaction to what we just heard
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: there from Ralph Sanchez on the situation in East Jerusalem
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: in the developments generally that have been playing out. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: mean this is an apartheid system. I mean, I mean
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: Israel's own prominent human rights organization, Bittsalam, has declared it.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Human Rights Watch has declared it, and Palestinians on the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: ground have been telling us for decades that they've been
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: their homes have been demolished, that they've been targeted. They
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: that violence has been met by Israeli led forces under
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Netinya Who's racist policies. But we're really telling Palestinians fighting
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: apartheid is the same thing being told to my fellow
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: black Americans across our country here and that are fighting
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: and police brutality. There is no form of accept the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: resistance to state violence except the denial of except for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: the denial of people's human dignity. And we need to stop.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: We need to stop and look at the fact that
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: our own country is enabling it, with billions of dollars
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: every year being issued to Israel, even though they are
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: promoting racism into humanization. So to that point, the White
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with his Israeli counterpart.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: He expressed the United States's concerns over the violent confrontations
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem. Do you think the Biden administration needs to
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: take a stronger stance right now towards Israel for the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: developments that we're seeing there. I'm just going to stop
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it there. That's MSNBC. They have now turned Israel into
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the bad guys. They allow a congresswoman to come on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: TV saying that we should not be sending billions to
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: our ally referring to Israel is the part that Israel
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: saying that they promote racism and dehumanization. This is Israel
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: we're talking about here, and she has apparently no problem
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: with this at all. MSNBC apparently has no problem with
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: this type of propaganda going out there. We have shocking
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: footage out of Israel children and their mothers scrambling for
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: shelter as the rocket sirens go off and the rockets
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: start hitting innocent people in Israel. And you want me
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to believe that Israel's the bad guys? Listen to how
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: CNN even put this earlier than all right, we have
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: re established contact with our team in Israel. Let me
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just give you a sense of what happened. Hadas Gold
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: and her team were in Oshlon, which is not far
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: from Gaza, which Ashlan is a place that frequently is
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: targeted by rocket attacks. They were preparing for a live shot.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I think we have video and audio of this and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: the t let's play it. Um, you know, there we go.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: That's in us getting ready for kay. All right, that
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: was moments ago in Israel. As you that it is
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: again with Hudas and her team running away there just
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to see it again. Um, we have re established contact
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: with Hudas. Huddas Gold joins us now, Hudas give us
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: a sense of how you are, the situation around you,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: and what is going on in general. So, John, we
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: are currently sitting in a swomb shelter in the building
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: that we were just outside of m McInville last I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: would say ten fifty maybe twenty finance their huse and
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: at least three of the it was those air raised
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: rons and we are being at least forty eight rockets
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: uh well firing right above us. Were in the function
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: right now with residents of this building as well as
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: other media and as well as militaries. So people who
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: were here as well as you said you were getting
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: ready to do a live shot just because the building
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: that had been hit directly by a rocket earlier this
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: morning over there were several injuries, including one securely. But
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: if these last few minutes has been a clear escalation
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: because these rockets are flying out north of us. Ashkelon
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is quite close to the Gaza border and these rockets
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: are not flying above us and north and just to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: get you up to speed on what's been happening here.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: In the last twenty four hours. There have been now more,
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: well more than three hundred rockets fired from Gaza into
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Israel Israeli militaries that they have struck right by the way,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: did you hear three hundred, three hundred rockets? Meanwhile, go
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: back to MSNBC, and they're saying, well, should the Biden
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: administration pull back from and cut ties or demand the
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Israel stop what they're doing. Even CNN is not stupid
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: enough to do what MSNBC is doing. Again, go back
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: to this report three hundred random rockets being shot into
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Israel to target and kill innocent people at the hands
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: of a moss Meanwhile, you have a Democratic congresswoman who
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: is referring to Israel as a part that Israel, saying
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that they are the terrorists, and an MSNBC is actually
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: putting this propagain on American TV saying, well, maybe Joe
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Biden should start speaking true to Israel and condemning them
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: for them defending themselves. What's been happening here in the
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: last twenty four hours, there have been now more, well
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: before than three hundred rockets fired from Gaza into Israel.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: Israeli militarces that they have struck militants targets in Gaza.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: They say they have killed at least fifteen militants. The
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Palestinian health industry in Gaza say that twenty four people
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: have been killed, including nine children. Heretshire whether those fifteen
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: milities are part of the twenty four member In Israel,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: there have been at least sixteen people in cured by
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: rocket fire. Another fifteen have been injured in other incidents
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: of violence because we are seeing a protesting US throughout
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the country as well. There was also an arabistically suited
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: in who was killed in another incidents of unrest where
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: instinct of allegedly up throwing rocks at a Jewish is
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: really who's been allegedly shots really Arab students. But clearly
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: this is the highest moments of escalation that this region
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: has seen in years. And then again you can hear
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the audio there is bad, but it's important that you
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: understand what's happening here. You have a correspondent talking about
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: rockets that are being fired in the last twenty four hours.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Rockets are not flying above us in the north, and
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: you just get up to speed on what's been happening here.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: In the last twenty four hours, there have been more
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: than three hundred rockets fired from Gaza by the terraces
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: into Israel. What are you want Israel to do? Go
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: back to MSNBC. Well, Israel really is the bad guys,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: aren't they. Israel's the one that should be held recountable, right,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Israel's the one that maybe Joe Biden should talk to.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Maybe you should put some pressure on them, right, Maybe
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: that's what we need to do, representative to le tell
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: us how bad Israel is. While Israel's just defending themselves.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: There are ally and we're saying nothing about this. Let's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: also remember at least forty four people were killed in
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a stampeded a religious festival in northern Israel because of
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: some attacks by these terrorists. And as terrorists continue to
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: attack Israel, what are democrats doing while all of this
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: is happening? What are the democrats doing right now while
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: innocent people are being murdered in Israel, where hundreds and
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: hundreds of rockets in the last twenty four hours are
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: being fired by terrorists into Israel. Their going on TV
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: right like Representative Talib saying that we should not be
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: sending billions to the apartheid Israel as they promote racism
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: and dehumanise, dehumanization, literally they are backing the terrorists. And
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: then there's the White House MSNBC. Well, White House, shouldn't
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: they be speaking truth to power with the Israelis? Listen
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to this crap, This is nothing but propaganda. To that point,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: the White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan spoke with
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: his Israeli counterpart. He expressed the United States's concerns over
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the violent confrontations in Jerusalem. Do you think the Biden
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: administration needs to take a stronger stance right now towards
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Israel for the developments that we're seeing there. Absolutely, we
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: need to hold the international human rights laws that are
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: saying to you, are folks across the country that they
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: have to buy why not the Israel? Why not saying Tontigna,
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: who currently who is running on anti Arab breaderate consistently
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: accepting violence by all Israeli police and military forces to
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: side with Israeli citizens who are literally throwing physically throwing
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: people out of their homes. US taxpayer dollars should not
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: be used to commit human rights violations. That needs to
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: be said. I have yet to hear anybody from the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: Biden administration declare that that our money will not be
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: used to degrade, to dehumanize, and to kill or evict
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: people out of their homes. This is terrorist propaganda that
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you're listening to right now from MSNBC going out unchecked
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: by a United States Member of Congress and representative to lead,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: and they're not stopping it. This administration is not backing
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: our ally CNN even telling the truth. They're saying, we
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: got three under rockets coming in. We have innocent people,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: they're dying. We have these rockets attacks between Israel and Hamas,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: and people are preparing for the worst. You have at
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: forty four people that we're killing, the stampede at a
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: religious festival in northern Israel, with more attacks that take
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: place there. This is the Democratic Socialist Party. This also comes,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: by the way, as we got those reports just a
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: week ago that John Kerry was leaking info to Iran
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: about Israel. The White House has now been asked about that,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: right like, are you guys actually actively going and working
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: against Israel? Listen to what the White House said, when
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: they were asked a question about John Kerry leaking info
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: to Iran about Israel operations, thank you sure, but thank
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: you man. I have one question about foreign policy and
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: then another about COVID here, so the first one is
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: in tapes obtained to buy The New York Times. Iran's
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: foremaster says that former Secretary of State John Kerry and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: former him the Israel attacked Iranian interests at least one
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: hundred times. You know, as the secretary of shifted rolls.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: He still continues to represent the United States on a
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: world stage. Does the President have any comment or reaction
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to carry telling the Iranians about covert military action on
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the part of Israel. We're not going to comment on
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: leaked tapes. Okay, that's it. We're not going to comment
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: on leaked tapes. We're not going to do it. We
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: may be working for the terrorists, we may be working
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: for ram, we may be working with a moss or hesblah,
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and if you catch us on tape our representatives, we're
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: not going to comment on quote leaked tapes. Well, how
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: the hell else do you think we would have gotten
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: this information? I'm dead serious. How else do you think
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: we would have gotten any of this information? Somebody answer
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: me that question, please, I'd love to know how that works.
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: All right, before I run out of time, I do
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: have to get to another subject that I mentioned earlier,
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: and that is about jobs in this country. Because it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: important and I'm not going to forget about this Israel topic.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: We will continue to discuss it, I can promise you that.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But before I get any deeper into that, I want
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: to get back to this other issue with jobs in
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: this country, and it deals with governors who are now
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: doing the right thing, governors who have decided to cut
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: off the amount of money that is actually going to
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: people that are refusing to go back to work. Earlier
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: today we got word that multiple states are going to
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: be doing this. One of those states is Mississippi. Mississippi
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: has announced that they're going to end their three hundred
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: unemployment stipend weekly stipend after the head of the GOP
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: in the House wrote a letter to the governor saying
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to Governor Tate Reeves saying, hey, this has gotten out
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: of control. Mississippi is now going to opt out of
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: the federal pandemic program that has provided an extra twelve
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: dollars a month to unemploy benefits to Mississippi, and since
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: last year now reeves announcement came after the House Speaker.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: They are called on Reeves to either start enforcing job
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: searching requirements for unemployment benefits or in the federal stipend.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Gun said, small businesses are dying and they're reporting they
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: cannot hire people because the extra benefits that the state
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: is giving out and not enforcing the rule that people
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: search for work while receiving unemployment benefits. The purpose of
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: unemployment benefits is to temporarily assist Mississippians too are unemployed
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: through no fault their own. Reeves posted on social media, saying,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: after many conversations in the last several weeks with Missisippi
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: SMA business owners their employees, has become clear the pandemic
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: unemployment assistance and other like programs passed by Congress may
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: have been necessary in May of last year, but no
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: longer in May of this year. Therefore, I have informed
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: the Department of Employment Security to direct the Biden administration
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: that the Mississippi that Misissippi will opt out the additional
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: federal unemployment benefits as early as the law allows, which
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: is June the twelfth. Now, this is not the only
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: state that's doing this. Arkansas, we're now being told, is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: doing this as well. The Arkansas governor was on CNN
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: and he had this to say about their decision. Explain
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: to me how and why you reach this decision to
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: halt the enhanced unemployment benefits. Well, the extra compensation was
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: very helpful during the dark days of the pandemic, when
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: unemployment rates were so high. But now our economy has
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: come back. We have jobs of plenty. We have employers
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: that are begging workers to come to their place of business,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and we cannot pay extra compensation for workers to stay home.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: We need them in the place of employment, and so
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: that's the simple rationale for it. If they need assistance
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and finding a job, we'll provide that to them. If
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: they need childcare assistance, we have more than ample resources
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: to assist in that as well. So we want people
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to work. People of Arkansas want to work. But we
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: found that that enhanced benefit was simply an impediment. We
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: still continue to have the ordinary unemployment benefits, but this
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: is a good step to help people get back to work.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: CNN not happy, right, They're angry about this, so they
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: keep pressing the governor X in do I want to
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: get the same amount of money by going to work
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: every day and working hard, or I want to get
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: that amount of money by sitting at home? And so
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: we want to avoid that inclination of human nature incentivize them.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Work should always reward more than unemployment. In we're trying
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to accomplish. Shouldn't the companies raise their pay by the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: way I love? Couldn't the companies raise their pay? Well,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: they have, But you're asking companies and not compete with
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: another opportunity which involves no work. You'll never win that battle,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: you dumb as at CNN. This is how stupid CNN is.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: This is what socialism will do to your brain. CNN
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: is actually arguing that it's the company's fault. No one
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: wants come to work because the company isn't offering them
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: enough money. How do you compete against not paying people
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: or excuse me, not requiring people to work and paying them,
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: which is what the state in the federal government is
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: doing right now. If I offer you fifteen dollars an
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: hour to not work or eighteen dollars an hour to work,
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: which one are you going to pick nine. So the
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: people are going to pick the fifteen dollars an hour,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: which is exactly what the governor's point was. Oh, sure
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: they can raise their pay and that would raise consumer cost,
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: but we want to make sure and they have raised
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: their pay. Employers all across us, our state in the
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: country have consistently been more competitive in their salaries. They've
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: raised it, but still they're competing with free money. They're
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: competing with benefits that they can't provide, nor should they
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: have to be able to provide. The governor's right. I
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: hope every other state in this country that has a
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: conservative legislature does exactly what they're talking about right now.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: They need to do this right now. We have more
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: than eight million jobs available in this country, eight million
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: right now, eight million. Why are people not taking those
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: jobs because they get to sit home and be lazy,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: and we're incentivising them to sit at home and be lazy.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: That is a fact. All right. Let me lastly say this,
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: if you have not shared this with your family and friends,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: please share this podcast with your family and friends. We
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: are still fighting Facebook silencing us and we need your help.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: So without you telling your family friend about this podcast,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: we don't grow, so please please share this with your
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: family and friends. I'll see you back here tomorrow.
