• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The stay of the Union.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It was clear when it happened that Joe Biden was
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: changing his narrative on Israel. It was obvious that the
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: president that was standing by Israel was learning that he
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: needed to change his stance because many voters thirty five
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: and under who are Democrats, are furious with the President
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: for standing semi close to Israel. Democrats are also polling
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: on this issue and realizing that it is unpopular with
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: the radical Marxist left of their party to stand with Israel.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Many young people in this country who do not understand
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the history of Israel because we don't teach it in
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: our schools anymore, who don't understand World War Two, don't
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: understand the Holocaust, don't understand Adolf Hitler was even a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: bad guy, are sitting there now believing that somehow the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: aggressors here Hamas and the Palestinians who butcher killed countless
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Jews solely because they were Jews, and are still holding
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: them hostage, or somehow the bad guys.
• 1:08

  Speaker 2: that are backing hardcore lefties in this election that is
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: going to happen in November. If you are sick and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: tired of your money going to corporations that hate your values,

  Speaker 2: their biggest donations are going year after year to Plan Parenthood.

  Speaker 2: of unborn children. We're talking about supporting our veterans, our

• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Now you look at this on college campuses, you look
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: at this among young people.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: They truly believe that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: Hamas is justified in their actions to kill Jews. They're
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: the same people in this country that are actually chanting
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: from the river to the sea. And it's not just
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: young ignorant people in this country. And yes they are
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: ignorant for standing with actual terrorists, but it is the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party leadership. Now they are looking at an election
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: where President Joe Biden didn't get the bump that they
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: wanted after the State of the Union, and so now
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: they're having to pivot and pander to the Marxists and
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the socialists and the communists within their party. Now, I
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: have said countless times on this show, and I will
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: continue to say it. I believe the Democratic Party is dead.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Democrats don't exist anymore in the Democratic Party. It is Marxist,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: socialists and communists who are masquerading as Democrats, plain and simple.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: And what we now have is an older Democratic Party
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: that is understanding that they believe, or at least they
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: have an understanding they think that is we must take
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: our hand off of Israel, and it's time for us
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to turn on Israel to placate the younger, woke extremists
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: in the Democratic Party. You could see this happening, and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I was warning you. I thought this was going to happen,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: that this White House was going to be forced by
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: their own extremists to take their hand off of Israel. Well,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: now it has actually happened. NBC News reporting it this
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: way about the Democratic leadership and the Democrat Senate majority
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: leaner Chuck Schumer now saying it's time for Israel's Prime
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Minister at Yahoo to go. He's not saying them about
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the Hamas leadership. He's not saying that about the Palestinians. No,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: he's saying it about Israel. And why is he saying
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: this One simple reason. He believes that he must say
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it to make sure that Democrats stay in office and
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden has a chance of being re elected. Listen
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: carefully to how NBC News is reporting on this story. Now,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: if they were real journalists and being honest, they would
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: come out and say this, the Democratic Party is now
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: standing with the terrorist Hamas and the Palestinian radicals. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that's not how they're going to report this story at all,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: because the media is dead and we have government propaganda
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: now here.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: As Israel targets Hamas in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis grows.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: The top Senate Democrat delivering a scathing rebuke of Israeli
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Prime Minister Benjamin Nettan Yahoo, saying he needs to be
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: replaced in new elections.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Prime ministudents Yahoo has lost his way by allowing his
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: political survival to take the precedence over the best interests
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: of Israel.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in American history,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: laying blame for the war at the feet of Hamas,
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: but saying that Yahoo is an obstacle to peace.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: He has been too willing to tolerate the civilian toll
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: in Gaza, which is pushing support for Israel worldwide to
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: historic lows. Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Republican leaders slamming the criticism of net Yahoo, who is
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: also known as Bibe, the democratically elected leader of a
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: close US ally.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: The Democratic Party, doesn't have an anti Bib problem. It
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: is an anti Israel problem.
• 6:48
  Speaker 6: It's just plain wrong for an American leader to play
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: such a divisive role in Israeli politics while our closest
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: ally in the region is in an existential battle for
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: its very survival.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Net Yahoo has not responded to Schumer's comments. Meanwhile, President
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: Biden has criticized Israel's military operations as over the top
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: and privately complain of Net Yahoo quote giving him hell,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: sources told NBC News last month.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: He was also caught on that hot mic after the
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: State of the Union referring to Joe Biden talking about
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: how he was going to give a talking to two
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Net and Yahoo. Now, I want you to understand, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I still am in shock by this. You noticed in
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: that report they said that this is the highest ranking
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Jewish official in our government.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Schumer's Jewish, but.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: He cares more about power than he does apparently about
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Jewish people. We wouldn't be having the conversation we're having
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: right now if it wasn't for Hamas, who's backed by
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Iran and the Palestinian leadership, who had no problem helping
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: support and aid the terrorist attack on innocent men, women,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: and children. We wouldn't be having this converse if it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: wasn't for a massive nine to eleven style attack on Israel.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: We wouldn't be having this conversation. If it wasn't for
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the fact that they had taken hostages from infant children
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: up to elderly individuals in their nineties. We wouldn't be
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: having this conversation right now if it wasn't for terrorism.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: But the Democratic Party is so obsessed with power, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: it shouldn't surprise you look at what they're doing to
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump to try to keep power. They're willing to
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: lock up anybody that gets in their way, and even
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer is willing to sell out to keep the
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: power because they must have. These Marxists and socialists and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: communists that are masquerading as Democrats that are their voters
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: stand beside them on election day and they're looking at
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: the election and they're looking at the map, and they're
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: looking at the numbers, and they're saying, Okay, we've got
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: to shore up our base. And one of the problems
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: is if we look like we're with Israel, apparently we
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: lose a bunch of these eighteen to thirty four years voters.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: So how do we make sure they're with us? All right,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: let's stand with a terrorists, let's stand with ams, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: let's announce that Yahoo who was democratically elected. No one's
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: saying that the election over there wasn't real or authentic
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: or free. Benjaminette now, who is clearly the leader of
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: the people at Israel. Now we'll see what happens after
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: this ground war and what happens with his future. But honestly,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: it's none of our business. They are ally and he
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: is the leader of that country. They are on They
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: went on defense right after they were attacked. And when
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you were attacked, that way you must take out your enemy.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: There's no way to stand there and say, okay, let's
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: have a truce. It is to beat them into submission.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: No different, by the way, than what we did to
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: al Qaeda, no different than what we did to Isis
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: or al Shabab or anybody else that's ever challenged us.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: It's the same thing.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: But who the hell are these Democrats? And I will
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: say it even in a broader sense, who the hell
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: are we as a country to tell the people of
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Israel they must get rid of their leader who was
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: duly elected in a free and fair election. You have
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: to understand, though, this is not really about any of that.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: And I agree with what was said by the Senate
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell. The Democratic Party didn't have a
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: BB problem. The Democratic Party has an anti Jewish problem,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: an anti Israel problem, and that is real in the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party. Look at how many Congressmen and how many
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Senators have not stood by Israel and have denounced Israel
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: even after they were attacked, saying they basically deserved it.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: I want you to hear what Schumer said, and I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: played you a little bit of it a moment ago,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: but it was a very short SoundBite, and I think
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: it's important that you hear Schumer in his own words
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: from the four of the Senate. This is what he said,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and it was a longer speech. It was about ten
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: minutes long. But here are three minutes of this speech
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: that are really core, so that you understand the mentality
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: of Chuck Schumer, who is Jewish, he is from New York,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: He's a Democrat, he is the majority leader.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Listen.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: On the Israeli side, the US government should demand that
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Israel conduct itself with a future two state solution in mind.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: We should not be forced into a position of unequivocally
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: supporting the actions of an Israeli government that include biggots
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: who reject the idea of the Palestinian state. Israel is
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: a democracy. Five months into this conflict, it is clear
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: that Israelis need to take stock of the situation and
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: ask must we change course at this critical juncture. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: believe a new election is the only way to allow
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: for a healthy and open decision making process about the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: future of Israel at a time when so many Israelis
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: have lost their confidence in the vision and direction of
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: their government. I also believe a majority of the Israeli
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: public will recognize the need for change, and I believe
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: that holding a new election once the war starts to
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: wind down would give Israelis an opportunity to express their
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: vision for the post war future. Of course, the United
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: States cannot dictate the outcome of an election, nor should
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: we try. That is for the Israeli public to decide.
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: A public that I believe understands better than anybody that
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Israel cannot hope to succeed as a pariah opposed by
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world as a democracy. Israel has
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the right to choose its own leaders, and we should
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: let the chips fall where they may. But the important
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: thing is that Israelis are given a choice. There needs
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: to be a fresh debate about the future of Israel
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: after October seventh. In my opinion, that is best accomplished
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: by holding an election now. If President net To Prime
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Minister Netanyahu's current coalition remains in power after the war
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: begins to wind down and continues to pursue dangerous and
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: inflammatory policies that test existing US standards for assistance, then
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: the United States will have no choice but to play
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: a more active role in shaping Israeli policy by using
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: our leverage to change the present course. The United States
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: bond with Israel is unbreakable. But if extremists continue to
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: unduly influence Israeli policy. Then the administration should use the
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: tools at its disposal to make sure our support for
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: Israel is aligned with our broader goal of achieving long
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: term peace and stability in the region. I believe this
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: would make a lasting two two states solution more likely.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: I listen to that.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: And two things. One I can't believe actually Chuck Schumer
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: is saying this. It's like he's being held hostage. I'm
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: not sure I actually believe that he believes any of
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: what he just said, as a Jewish individual who's been
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: so pro Israel over his decades of service in the Senate.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to defend Chuck Schumer. I'm just
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: pointing out the obvious here. It's like, who the hell
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: is this guy and where did Chuck Schumer go. I
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: don't believe that Chuck Schumer actually believes this. I think
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: this is a man that is being held hostage by
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: the extremists in the Democratic Party, the Socialist, the Marxist
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: and the Communists, and he understands that he desperately needs
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: them to win the next election, so therefore he's willing
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: to sell out his own people who were butchered and massacred,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: children that were stabbed to death in their cribs and
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: let to bleed out, children who were beheaded, children who
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: were cooked in ovens for sport, Seniors that were killed
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: in front, and parents that were killed in front of
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: their children, and then their children were taking hostage and
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: then gang raped.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: That is who you're siding with here.
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: And you come out and you say, quote on the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: Israel side, the US government should demand the Israel conduct
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: itself with a future two state solution, and mind, who
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: the hell are we to sell Israel what to do
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: right now, especially after what they just went through. And
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: then you demand, you say, we should not be forced
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: into a position of unequivocally supporting the actions of an
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Israeli government that include biggots who reject the idea of
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: a Palestinian state. So you're now siding with the terrorists openly. Now,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I do believe there's a lot of people in the
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Democratic Party that actually believe this. I have a hard
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: time buying that Chuck Schumer actually believes this. And I think,
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer, this is a sellout of the most horrific
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: form I've ever seen in the Democratic Party.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: And you know, a lot of sellouts from them.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: But even Mitch McConnell came out and said this in
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: response to what Schumer said, and listened to him because
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: they know each other well. I think he was even
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: in shock that Chuck Schumer would would at this point
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: just sell out and support basically terrorists.
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: The state of Israel deserves an ally it acts like one.
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: People of Israel at home and in captivity deserve America's support,
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: and Israel's unity government and security cabinet deserve the difference
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: befitting a sovereign, democratic country. The primary obstacles the peace
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: in Israel's region are genocidal terrorists like i'm As and
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: Palestinian Islamic jihad whose slaughter innocent people, and corrupt leaders
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: of the Palestinian authority who have repeatedly, repeatedly rejected peace
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: deals from multiple Israeli governments. And foreign observers who cannot
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: keep these clear distinctions ought to refrain from weighing in.
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans, who hyperventilate about
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: removal of the democratically elected leader of Israel. This is unprecedented.
• 17:54
  Speaker 5: We should not treat fellow democracies this way at all.
• 18:00
  Speaker 5: Things that upset left wing activists are not of Prime
• 18:03
  Speaker 5: Minister's policies. There is Israel's policies. Make no mistake. The
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: Democratic Party doesn't have an anti BV problem. It has
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: an anti Israel problem. Israel is not a colony of
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: America whose leaders serve at the pleasure of the party
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: in power in Washington. Only Israel's citizens should have a
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: say and who runs their government. This is the very
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: definition of democracy and sovereignty. Either we respect their decisions
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: or we disrespect their democracy.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I am not a big fan of midst McConnell. I
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: want to make that pretty clear. I criticize him a
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: lot when he deserves to be criticized. I'm glad that
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: he's stepping down from leadership. I've said that before, but
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you that may be one of
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the best speeches I've ever heard Mitch McConnell give. It
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: is one that every one of us should be applauding
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: and standing behind. He also understands that this is a
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: moment where you don't screw this one up, and you
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: make sure you're very clear about what we say as conservatives.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: But also I think what we should be saying as Americans,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: that's really important that we say the right thing is Americans.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: And he's right.
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: He says Israel deserves a better ally, an all that
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: acts better than this.
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: I couldn't agree more.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: Israel does deserve an ally, an ally that agrees that
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: expects more. And I am glad now that the American
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: people are seeing just how radical the Democratic Party is.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It's why I say they're dead. The Democratic Party has died.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: They are being controlled and operated by Marxists and socialists
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: and radicals who do not believe in democracy, who do
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: not believe in free speech, who do not believe in
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: the sanctity of life, who do not believe in right
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: and wrong. They believe in none of that. Never ever
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: forget that. I also want you to hear my conversation
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: that I had with my co host senter Ted Cruse.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I get to host a show with him, Vertic with
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: Tech Cruse. We had a long conversation about Israel and
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: about the Senate and about what's happening in Washington, d C.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Not only by Mitch McConnell, but also what was said
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: by Chuck Schumer. And I want you to hear part
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: of what he had to say to me when we
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: were talking about this. If you want to hear the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: entire thing, download vertic with Ted Cruz and you can
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: hear it in its entirety. But this is a couple
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: of points that he made that I thought were really important.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I want to play for you. Take a look, Senator.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the backdrop for what Schumer said and
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: why this timing is so significant. I think it has
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: a lot to do with the state of the Union.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: I really want your opinion on that. It was pretty
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: clear that the President was kind of changing a little
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: bit his perspective and his words on Israel. He was
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: also caught on a hot mic that we talked about
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: here on Verdict as well. And as I watched Chuck
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Schumer say these words on the flour of the Senate yesterday,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: there was honestly a part of me that I'm like,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not even sure Chuck Schumer believes this, and I
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: want your take on that. Maybe he really does, but
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: it was almost like it was a decision made within
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. Okay, we got to get people younger,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: and a lot of the radicals of the Democratic Party.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: The Socialists and the Marxists and the Communists. They hate Israel.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: They support Hamas and the Palestinians. They believe that Israel
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: is evil. So let's placate to them. I'll go give
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: this speed that I would have never given before, and
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: maybe that'll get them back in an excitement to vote
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: for us. Is there a possibility that could have been
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: part of what this is about just straight up selling out?
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Or do you believe he actually believes what he's saying
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: about getting rid of net Yahoo?
• 22:14
  Speaker 7: Well, I think there's several things that are going on. Yes,
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: I believe what I believe he believes what he's saying.
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: The Democrats have hated net Yahoo from the beginning. They
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: despise him, they view him. Democrats view Netan Yahoo as
• 22:28
  Speaker 7: the Israeli equivalent of Donald Trump, and they hate him
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: with a comparable fury. And much of that stems back
• 22:36
  Speaker 7: to when Barack Obama was president and Obama pushed forward
• 22:41
  Speaker 7: the catastrophic Iran nuclear deal, and they tried to muscle
• 22:47
  Speaker 7: all of our allies into accepting it, and the Obama
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: white House tried to muscle Congressional Democrats into accepting it.
• 22:55
  Speaker 7: Virtually every single congressional Democrat meekly knuckled under to the
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: Obama White House's pressure, and Benjamin netanya who heroically stood
• 23:05
  Speaker 7: up and said, this is an existential threat to Israel,
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: that when the iatola says death to Israel, a nuclear
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: Iran poses a very real threat of a mushroom cloud
• 23:17
  Speaker 7: over Tehran or Jerusalem. And it is the one threat
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: on the face of the planet capable of once again
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: murdering six million Jews if never again is to mean anything.
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: Netnya who argued rightly, we cannot allow Iran to have
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: a nuclear weapon. And I'll tell you Democrats have never
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: forgiven him for daring to stand up to the Obama
• 23:40
  Speaker 7: White House. And I remember at the time there was
• 23:44
  Speaker 7: a Republican House Representatives that invited Benjamin Netanyah who to
• 23:49
  Speaker 7: speak to address a joint session of Congress. I was there.
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: I heard that speech. It was an historic speech. It
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: was a speech that I described then and I still
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: consider to be Churchileian in terms of its clarity, in
• 24:02
  Speaker 7: terms of its strength, in terms of its unwillingness to
• 24:05
  Speaker 7: knuckle under. And yet even back then, multiple Democrats boycotted
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: the speech, refused even to listen to the elected Prime
• 24:15
  Speaker 7: Minister of Israel. Well, that hatred is real. That's one
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: thing that's going on. But then a second thing that's
• 24:21
  Speaker 7: going on that is in many ways even more concerning,
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: is the Democrat Party, day by day by day, is
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: turning against Israel. If you look at polling numbers now
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: among Democrats, if you ask Democrats whom do you support,
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: Israel or the Palestinians, The numbers are growing every single
• 24:40
  Speaker 7: day of Democrats who say, we're with the Palestinians. And
• 24:45
  Speaker 7: here's the dirty little secret. Some people are saying, well,
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: it's just the squad, it's just the radical anti Semites
• 24:52
  Speaker 7: on the far left of the Democrat Party. They're the
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: ones doing it. And the crazies on college campuses. I'll
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: tell you, Bennett's a lot more concerning than that. It
• 25:00
  Speaker 7: is the Biden Whitehouse. It is Chuck Schumer, the self
• 25:05
  Speaker 7: declared guardian of Israel, who is the median of the
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: Democratic Party, is steadily turning against Israel. Here just play
• 25:14
  Speaker 7: Schumer's comments on the floor yesterday.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Israeli side, the US government should demand that Israel conduct
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: itself with a future two state solution in mind. We
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: should not be forced into a position of unequivocally supporting
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: the actions of an Israeli government that include biggots who
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: reject the idea of a Palestinian state. Israel is a democracy.
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: Five months into this conflict, it is clear that Israelis
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: need to take stock of the situation and ask must
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: we change course at this critical juncture. I believe a
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: new election is the only way to allow for a
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: healthy and open decision making process about the future of
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: Israel at a time when so many Israelis have lost
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: their confidence in the vision and direction of their government.
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: I also believe a majority of the Israeli public will
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: recognize the need for change, and I believe that holding
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: a new election once the war starts to wind down
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: would give Israelis an opportunity to express their vision for
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: the post war future.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Of course, the.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: United States cannot dictate the outcome of an election, nor
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: should we try. That is for the Israeli public to decide.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: A public that I believe understands better than anybody that
• 26:46
  Speaker 4: Israel cannot hope to succeed as a pariah opposed by
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: the rest of the world. As a democracy, Israel has
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: the right to choose its own leaders, and we should
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: let the chips fall where they may. But the important
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: thing is that Israelis are given a choice. There needs
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: to be a fresh debate about the future of Israel
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: after October seventh. In my opinion, that is best accomplished
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: by holding an election. If President Prime Minister Netanyahu's current
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: coalition remains in power after the war begins to wind
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: down and continues to pursue dangerous and inflammatory policies that
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: tests existing US standards for assistance, then the United States
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: will have no choice but to play a more active
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: role in shaping Israeli policy by using our leverage to
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: change the present course. The United States bond with Israel
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: as unbreakable. But if extremists continue to unduly influence Israeli policy,
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: then the administration should use the tools at its disposal
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: to make sure our support for Israel is aligned with
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: our broader goal of achieving long term peace instead ability
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: in the region. I believe this would make a lasting
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: two saints, two state solution more likely.
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: Senator, you hear that.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I mean he's basically giving the talking points for the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Palestinian in hamas.
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: Well, he's giving the talking points for the left wing
• 28:18
  Speaker 7: of the Democrat party, and all, let's stop for a
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: second once one line that Schumer says there. He says,
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: Israel is a democracy, and that's true, and he says
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: they need to have an election. Well, they did have
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: an election. They had an election and Benjamin Netanyahu was elected.
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: He's the elected leader. How would Schumer feel if net
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: Yahoo gave a speech and said America is a democracy
• 28:50
  Speaker 7: and they should call an election today to determine if
• 28:52
  Speaker 7: Joe Biden should still be president. That's what Schumer just said,
• 28:57
  Speaker 7: that he doesn't give a damn who the people of
• 29:00
  Speaker 7: Israel elected. Net Yaho was elected in a far and
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: square election. Nobody disputes that. It's just Chuck Schumer and
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: the rest of the Democrat Party doesn't like the choice
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: that the people of Israel made. And there is an
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: arrogance to if you listen to what he says. He
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: says there should be an immediate election. And then he says,
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: if they elect net Yahoo again after we, the Democrats,
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: have told them not to, well then we should use
• 29:32
  Speaker 7: us power to force them to change their policy. The
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: absolute arrogance of that is stunning. And by the way,
• 29:42
  Speaker 7: you know, some people pretend, well Democrats, they just dislike
• 29:50
  Speaker 7: Netan Yahoo, this is not directed at Israel. Well, Benny Gantz,
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: from the opposing party in Israel, he put out a
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: statement yesterday. Here was Benny Gantz's statement quote, the United
• 30:03
  Speaker 7: States and Israel share common values and interests, and the
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: citizens of Israel profoundly cherish the clear stance of the
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: United States and support of Israel throughout these trying times.
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is a friend of Israel,
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: and though he aired in his remarks, plays an important
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: role in assisting the state of Israel, including during these
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: difficult times. Israel is a robust democracy and only its
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: citizens will decide its future and leadership. Any external interference
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: on the matter is counterproductive and unacceptable. Well what do
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: you think Schumer was doing right there? That's counterproductive and unacceptable.
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: And so I mean that demonstrates Look across the leadership
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: in Israel, there is consensus that Israel must defeat hamas
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: you know, where there isn't consensus in the Democrat Party.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: In the Democrat Party, and I got to say, look,
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: I serve with these guys. I'm on the Senate Foreign
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: Relations Committee. When we have a hearing, almost every Democrat
• 31:05
  Speaker 7: all they go on and on about is Gaza. We've
• 31:09
  Speaker 7: got to save Gaza. We've got to give relief to Gaza.
• 31:12
  Speaker 7: It's as if October seventh didn't happen. Understand where these
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: Democrats are. October seventh was a grotesque act of terrorism
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: where Hamas terrorists murdered over twelve hundred people. They raped
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: and murdered children, They took over two hundred hostages. It
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: was the single worst mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust,
• 31:34
  Speaker 7: and the reaction of the American Democrat Party is to
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: pivot hard against Israel and want to reward Hamas and
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: their sponsored the nation of Iran for committing that grotesque
• 31:48
  Speaker 7: act of terror.
