Netanyahu "Hamas Are the New Nazis", and Still Waiting on a GOP Speaker! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: We've got two major stories that we have to deal with.
0:04
Speaker 1: One of them involves what's happening in Israel and this
0:08
Speaker 1: rocket that hit a hospital in Gaza. That rocket appears
0:13
Speaker 1: to have been actually shot by Hamas and it was
0:16
Speaker 1: some sort of misfire that then hit their own hospital,
0:20
Speaker 1: killing countless innocent people Palestinians. This is what happens when
0:25
Speaker 1: you are dealing with terrorists. Now we're going to talk
0:27
Speaker 1: about that in a moment, but I also want to
0:29
Speaker 1: get to the other issue, and that is, as of now,
0:31
Speaker 1: we still do not have a Speaker of the House,
0:35
Speaker 1: Representative Massey coming out after this first vote where enough
0:40
Speaker 1: Republicans did not vote for Jim Jordan that they have
0:43
Speaker 1: decided to adjourn until eleven Eastern vote the next day.
0:50
Speaker 1: That's how they described it when it was all said
0:52
Speaker 1: and done. Now there will be a vote on Wednesday
0:56
Speaker 1: at eleven now, and originally what they were going to
0:59
Speaker 1: do is just keep voting and voting very much like
1:02
Speaker 1: they did last time, to give Kevin McCarthy finally the speakership.
1:05
Speaker 1: They decided not to do that. Now, let me let
1:08
Speaker 1: you hear what represented mass he said as he was
1:10
Speaker 1: walking out the Capitol as they have basically adjourned till
1:13
Speaker 1: Wednesday at eleven eastern, tenth central.
1:17
Speaker 2: This chamber, Jim, are you able to govern?
1:20
Speaker 3: I think we'll get to a speaker soon.
1:23
Speaker 4: All soon.
1:24
Speaker 3: Jordan to is a differentnommy. I guess that. You know what,
1:29
Speaker 3: there's no Paul Ryan in this race.
1:32
Speaker 5: If you remember back when when Kevin McCarthy decided not
1:36
Speaker 5: to run after running for a while, they brought Paul
1:39
Speaker 5: Ryan up and he had a good brand nationally, and
1:43
Speaker 5: he had a decent inside game and he could raise money.
1:46
Speaker 3: It's but there's no Paul Ryan. There is no close
1:49
Speaker 3: second to Jim Jordan.
1:50
Speaker 2: Now, if Jim Jordan doesn't make it, are we now
1:53
Speaker 2: then we're talking about it's it.
1:55
Speaker 3: Gets more complicated. I think I do think Jim Jordan's
1:59
Speaker 3: gonna make it this week.
2:00
Speaker 6: If he doesn't, do you see McCarthy making a comeback
2:03
Speaker 6: or Mr being sort of the next guy with his
2:05
Speaker 6: hat the ring He got em a gotta vote.
2:07
Speaker 7: McCarthy got a lot of some votes.
2:09
Speaker 4: You gotta vote.
2:09
Speaker 5: Gottes mean just because you gotta vote doesn't mean you're
2:13
Speaker 5: gonna be speaker?
2:14
Speaker 3: Does I'll throw my name in Cathy.
2:16
Speaker 6: People talk about from the speakership and twenty say.
2:20
Speaker 7: You know no to Jordan right now, Like Kevin McCarthy
2:23
Speaker 7: is behind Jim Jordan, and he's he's got a lot
2:26
Speaker 7: of people who were going to vote for him today
2:29
Speaker 7: who he talked to that didn't, and I think he'll
2:32
Speaker 7: talk to the ones who did.
2:33
Speaker 3: And at some point, if Scalisee is.
2:35
Speaker 5: Voting for Jim Jordan and Kevin McCarthy is voting for
2:37
Speaker 5: Jim Jordan, you look kind of silly to vote for them.
2:41
Speaker 6: Do you think there's some deals he can start cutting with,
2:44
Speaker 6: Like the New York Delegation, a lot of votes there.
2:47
Speaker 6: They want salts with taxably things about.
2:52
Speaker 5: This is the reason Jim Jordan is the only viable
2:55
Speaker 5: speaker candidate we have. He's the only one who can
2:57
Speaker 5: get elected without cutting deals everybody.
3:00
Speaker 3: And that was the demise of Kevin McCarthy.
3:03
Speaker 5: And I supported Kevin McCarthy, but he had so many
3:07
Speaker 5: arrangements and deals that they became almost mutually exclusive. But
3:12
Speaker 5: Jim Jordan has gotten this far without a single deal,
3:16
Speaker 5: and he's got a plan to keep us from getting
3:17
Speaker 5: into a shutdown, and he's the only one who can
3:20
Speaker 5: reset the expectations that had been set earlier with conservatives,
3:25
Speaker 5: and that's why I think he's the only viable candidate
3:28
Speaker 5: we have.
3:28
Speaker 3: And I think he's going to get there this week, all.
3:31
Speaker 1: Right, he keeps saying, over again, represented Massey, I think
3:34
Speaker 1: he is going to get there this week. Now. I
3:37
Speaker 1: am in Washington, DC right now, and I am having
3:40
Speaker 1: meetings with different people on the Hill. Most of them
3:44
Speaker 1: agree that they believe Jim Jordan is still the guy
3:46
Speaker 1: that has the best chance of pulling this off. That's
3:52
Speaker 1: what I'm hearing. There are quite a few out there Republicans, however,
3:57
Speaker 1: they're saying, give me something, right, I'm willing to sell out,
4:02
Speaker 1: give me something. Represented Byron Donald's on the House Speaker vote,
4:05
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say earlier on Fox. What
4:08
Speaker 1: should people take away from what they've been witnessing happening
4:11
Speaker 1: there with the members on Capitol Hill.
4:15
Speaker 8: Well, look, even when I said this back in January,
4:18
Speaker 8: this place is not what it used to be. The
4:20
Speaker 8: business as usual. When Washington is not the state of
4:22
Speaker 8: play anymore. Members are gonna make these individual decisions for themselves.
4:27
Speaker 8: I actually encourage them to make these decisions. But now
4:30
Speaker 8: I believe it's a time for the members to unite
4:32
Speaker 8: around Jim Jordan so we can get back to the
4:34
Speaker 8: business up here on Capitol Hill. But for people to
4:37
Speaker 8: think that that leadership by acclamation is going to be
4:40
Speaker 8: the state of play going forward, it's simply not going
4:42
Speaker 8: to be the case in Washington anymore.
4:45
Speaker 1: So he's saying, look, he believes Jim Jordan's going to
4:47
Speaker 1: have a shot here. He hasn't had to have deals
4:50
Speaker 1: done as well. That's now where they are. Representative Ken Buck,
4:54
Speaker 1: by the way, voted for Tom immert Emmert for speaker,
5:00
Speaker 1: and this is part of what was said as Jim
5:02
Speaker 1: Jordan lost the first speaker vote. Here's what he said
5:05
Speaker 1: on CNN.
5:07
Speaker 2: Oh, he did not vote for a congressman Jim Jordan,
5:10
Speaker 2: instead voting for Tom Emer. Well, I guess my first
5:13
Speaker 2: question is do you really want Tom ember to be Speaker?
5:16
Speaker 9: No?
5:16
Speaker 4: I don't.
5:16
Speaker 9: I don't like Tom Emmer. I figured this would be
5:18
Speaker 9: the worst job in America. Mike Rowe would not want
5:20
Speaker 9: to do this for his TV show. This is a
5:22
Speaker 9: terrible job.
5:23
Speaker 2: Okay, So just to underscore that you voted for somebody because.
5:27
Speaker 9: You don't like them, I voted for somebody because I
5:30
Speaker 9: wasn't going to vote for.
5:31
Speaker 1: Jim yet, but but you don't, So that's what you're
5:33
Speaker 1: dealing with, that type of logic. I mean you listen
5:36
Speaker 1: to this Yahoo representative Ken Buck saying I voted for
5:40
Speaker 1: Tom Emmer for speaker because I don't like Tom Emmer,
5:44
Speaker 1: and Dana Baster is saying, do you really want Tom
5:46
Speaker 1: Emmer to be speaker? He's like, no, no, I don't.
5:49
Speaker 8: I don't.
5:49
Speaker 1: And those are the people, by the way, that you're
5:51
Speaker 1: now having to deal with if you're a Republican. Now
5:54
Speaker 1: I'll go back to this. Who is a winner? Who
5:56
Speaker 1: is a loser in all of this? The losers today, okay,
6:01
Speaker 1: are the Republican Party. The winners today are the Democratic
6:04
Speaker 1: Party because we look like we're a bunch of idiots
6:06
Speaker 1: because of people like this moron Buck, who's like, I'm
6:10
Speaker 1: going to vote for a guy I don't even like,
6:13
Speaker 1: think about how messed up that is. I'm going to
6:15
Speaker 1: vote for somebody I don't even like. There was another congressman,
6:19
Speaker 1: Representative Hansinge. This is what he had to say about
6:22
Speaker 1: the speaker vote as he was walking out of the
6:25
Speaker 1: Capitol as well.
6:26
Speaker 3: Listen in this atmosphere.
6:28
Speaker 10: I'm not sure anybody could expect anyone to get two
6:31
Speaker 10: hundred and seventeen votes right now. So Jim now knows
6:37
Speaker 10: who he's got to really go talk to. And I've
6:39
Speaker 10: heard different things. I've heard that he may lose some votes.
6:42
Speaker 10: I've heard he's also going to gain some votes, that
6:45
Speaker 10: somebody a few of these folks needed to stick a
6:47
Speaker 10: protest stake in the ground, and that they're very gebtable
6:51
Speaker 10: after that. You know, you look at four people sort
6:55
Speaker 10: of off voting for one off folks, and I know
6:58
Speaker 10: my friends from New York voting for my former friend.
7:01
Speaker 10: They still have my friends, but my former colleague Leezelden.
7:04
Speaker 10: You know, I'm not sure that that's a serious, long
7:10
Speaker 10: term position to hold.
7:12
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what happens when you have a bunch
7:15
Speaker 1: of selfish idiots in Congress on the Republican side. They
7:19
Speaker 1: can screw anything up. Now, there's serious business that needs
7:23
Speaker 1: to be done right now, and yet this is the
7:26
Speaker 1: conversation that we're having in Washington. As I'm in Washington,
7:29
Speaker 1: DC right now, there's also something else that's happening. You've
7:33
Speaker 1: got this rocket that hit this Gaza hospital. This could
7:37
Speaker 1: change the quote international opinion against Israel is what one
7:43
Speaker 1: CNN colleague said on TV today, because there's people that
7:46
Speaker 1: want this to happen. To be clear, from what we
7:48
Speaker 1: understand right now, this rocket was a rocket that was
7:51
Speaker 1: fired by Hamas, and it was a rocket that accidentally
7:54
Speaker 1: hit their own hospital with their own Palestinians in it. Now,
7:59
Speaker 1: could have been not an accent? Could they have done
8:01
Speaker 1: this on purpose so they could then blame Israel for
8:04
Speaker 1: blowing up a hospital and change, as CNN put it
8:08
Speaker 1: the International Conversation here, Absolutely, they could do that because
8:13
Speaker 1: he is the worst people in the world. All right,
8:18
Speaker 1: let me tell you real quick about an amazing company
8:20
Speaker 1: called Patriot Mobile. For ten years, they have been America's
8:24
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only
8:28
Speaker 1: trust me, they're the only one. Glenn and the team
8:31
Speaker 1: have been great supporters of this show, which is why
8:34
Speaker 1: I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. They offer you
8:37
Speaker 1: dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to access all
8:41
Speaker 1: three major networks, which means you get the same coverage
8:44
Speaker 1: you've been accustomed to without funding the leftist agenda. When
8:49
Speaker 1: you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message that
8:51
Speaker 1: you support free speech, religious freedom, sancty of life, Second Amendment,
8:55
Speaker 1: and our military, our veterans and first responder heroes. They
8:59
Speaker 1: have one hundred percent scent US based customer service team

9:37
Speaker 1: and protect our values and stand for them with every phone.
9:40
Speaker 1: Call Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to
9:45
Speaker 1: two Patriot. I want you to hear this propaganda all
9:49
Speaker 1: right from CNN. CNN put this out there on TV,
9:54
Speaker 1: even though the initial reporting clearly is leaning towards Hamas
9:59
Speaker 1: have a misfired rocket that hit their own hospital, or
10:03
Speaker 1: they may have done it on purpose. But listen to
10:06
Speaker 1: this vitriol, this anti Semitic vitriol that was aired on
10:11
Speaker 1: CNN as hundreds are killed. Hamas says, this is their headline,
10:16
Speaker 1: hundreds killed and is rarely strike on hospital in Gaza.
10:20
Speaker 1: Yet that is not what the evidence is showing at
10:23
Speaker 1: this hour. Listen and Jake.
10:26
Speaker 11: What those images add up to is a mass casualty
10:29
Speaker 11: event that could change the international opinion of what Israel
10:35
Speaker 11: is doing right now. It could shift international opinion against them.
10:39
Speaker 11: It's already shifted that opinion in the Arab world against Israel.
10:45
Speaker 11: And Israeli news channels are still covering hostage families. Arab
10:50
Speaker 11: news channels are covering the destruction inside Gaza. But this
10:54
Speaker 11: is a denied area, so Israel international investigators we can't
10:59
Speaker 11: get in to see what brought that structure down. Remember,
11:02
Speaker 11: Israel's also trying to target the subterranean weapons storage Cachet's
11:08
Speaker 11: rocket launcher facilities, and Hamas has a pattern of having
11:14
Speaker 11: those types of things stationed near civilian areas.
11:18
Speaker 1: I mean, this is anti Semitism at its highest level. Now,
11:22
Speaker 1: I'm going to play for you now what Israel has
11:25
Speaker 1: said about this, This is a top Benjaminette now who
11:28
Speaker 1: advisor on Fox News Channel, talking about what happened at
11:33
Speaker 1: this hospital, and listen to how he explains it compared
11:37
Speaker 1: to the propaganda you just heard on CNN.
11:40
Speaker 12: So the truth is, we're investigating, and as the IDEAF
11:44
Speaker 12: said in this statement, they're looking into exactly what information
11:47
Speaker 12: we have and what happened. What we can say is
11:50
Speaker 12: the following. Number One, Israel does not target places like hospitals.
11:55
Speaker 12: They're not a target for us, and we wouldn't have
11:57
Speaker 12: deliberately hit a hospital. Number Two, we know that at
12:02
Speaker 12: the time of this tragedy that Kamas was firing a
12:07
Speaker 12: barrage of rockets at Tel Aviv and the center of
12:10
Speaker 12: the country. I myself went to the bombshelter here at
12:13
Speaker 12: the because we were under attack. Now, in the past,
12:16
Speaker 12: there has been a pattern of behavior that we've seen
12:19
Speaker 12: that up to a third of rockets fired from Gaza
12:23
Speaker 12: fall inside the Gaza strip because they malfunction. Now it
12:27
Speaker 12: is possible, once again, we don't know the facts, and
12:30
Speaker 12: that's why people should be very careful here, but it
12:33
Speaker 12: is possible that this was one of those rockets that malfunctioned.
12:37
Speaker 12: I spoke to a senior IDF officer just before coming
12:40
Speaker 12: on this program, and he said to me that actually
12:43
Speaker 12: Hamas made a statement saying they were sending a rocket
12:46
Speaker 12: to Haifa. Now we know Hypha's in northern Israel. We
12:50
Speaker 12: know that no such rocket was sent or definitely didn't
12:53
Speaker 12: reach Hypa, and so is it possible that there's a
12:56
Speaker 12: malfunction here. And once again there's a pattern of munitions
13:01
Speaker 12: by Ramas falling short. We had something in the last
13:04
Speaker 12: round of fighting, the previous round of shop fighting with Kamas,
13:07
Speaker 12: where within Somemitchy hardware a missile did fall shorter and
13:10
Speaker 12: that was documented. So this stage we don't know what
13:13
Speaker 12: happened Hamas. Of course, the Hamas controlled Ministry of Health
13:17
Speaker 12: in Gaza will be saying it's all Israel's fault. That's
13:20
Speaker 12: part of their narrative. I urge people, that's just wait
13:23
Speaker 12: and see what happened. Let's look at the facts as
13:25
Speaker 12: they developed. Israel does not target hospitals, and we have
13:30
Speaker 12: to get to the bottom of what actually happened, and
13:32
Speaker 12: it'll take a little bit more time.
13:34
Speaker 2: How much time do you think it will take to
13:37
Speaker 2: determine whether or not this was an IDF missile?
13:41
Speaker 12: So in the past we've sometimes been able to do
13:44
Speaker 12: it very quickly. There was a similar place in a
13:47
Speaker 12: previous round of fighting a few years ago, where there
13:50
Speaker 12: was also a situation where a family was killed by
13:53
Speaker 12: ordinance and of course kamasa at Israel. Israel, Israel Israel.
13:57
Speaker 12: And in the end we actually had proof. We could
14:00
Speaker 12: show a video that showed the Ramas fire a rocket
14:03
Speaker 12: or it might have been Islamic gi Heart at the time,
14:05
Speaker 12: the other terrorist group, and see it actually fall short
14:08
Speaker 12: into Gaza, and that took all the oxygen out of
14:12
Speaker 12: the Ramas balloon, so to speak. We have to wait
14:15
Speaker 12: to see this time. Once again, I'm telling you honestly,
14:18
Speaker 12: this just happened. We're still investigating. Except to say that
14:22
Speaker 12: the IDEF doesn't deliberately target places like hospitals, which is obvious.
14:27
Speaker 12: We have to wait and see.
14:30
Speaker 1: You listen to those two different conversations, they are extremely different.
14:36
Speaker 1: CNN is already saying, oh, this could change the war,
14:39
Speaker 1: This could change the way that people look at Israel,
14:41
Speaker 1: This could change the international opinion against Israel. You heard
14:47
Speaker 1: what he said. We're in the middle of war. Yes,
14:51
Speaker 1: is there a chance that one of our rockets didn't
14:53
Speaker 1: hit the right place. We're not going to say that's impossible,
14:57
Speaker 1: but what we are saying is, at the time that
14:58
Speaker 1: this happened, there was a bar rockets coming from Hamas.
15:02
Speaker 1: Net and Yahoo had this to say about the to
15:05
Speaker 1: the world, by the way, about about Hamas, and he says,
15:09
Speaker 1: they are the new Nazis.
15:11
Speaker 13: Ramas are the new Nazis. Ramas is isis in some
15:16
Speaker 13: instances worse than Isis. And just as the world united
15:21
Speaker 13: to defeat the Nazis, just as the world united to
15:26
Speaker 13: defeat Isis, the world has to stand united behind Israel
15:31
Speaker 13: to defeat Ramas. This is a part of an access
15:36
Speaker 13: of evil of Iran and Rizbala and Ramas. Their goal,
15:44
Speaker 13: open goal is to eradicate the state of Israel. The
15:49
Speaker 13: open goal of Hamas is to kill as many Jews
15:51
Speaker 13: as they could. And the only difference is they would
15:54
Speaker 13: have killed every last one of us, murdered every last
15:56
Speaker 13: one of us if they could. They just don't have
15:58
Speaker 13: the capacity. But they an extraordinary thirteen hundred civilians, which
16:04
Speaker 13: in American terms is like many, many, many nine elevens.
16:08
Speaker 13: So obviously we must take action to defeat Ramas and
16:12
Speaker 13: to ensure that this doesn't happen again. But this is
16:14
Speaker 13: not only our battle, it is our common battle, the
16:19
Speaker 13: battle of civilization against barbarism. And if it's not stopped here,
16:24
Speaker 13: the savagery will reach you very soon and reach the
16:28
Speaker 13: entire world.
16:29
Speaker 1: I think he's absolutely right. Calling Hamas are the new
16:33
Speaker 1: Nazis is exactly what he should have said here, and
16:39
Speaker 1: he's right. And if we don't defeat them, then what
16:42
Speaker 1: are we doing? Right Like, if we don't defeat them,
16:45
Speaker 1: what is happening here? And who thinks that we can
16:48
Speaker 1: live side by side in this scenario? You clearly cannot
16:53
Speaker 1: live side by side in this scenario the way that
16:58
Speaker 1: Hamas acts and the way that they kill, and the
17:00
Speaker 1: way that they behead Now, let me go back to
17:03
Speaker 1: the speaker's battle for just a moment.
17:05
Speaker 6: Here.
17:07
Speaker 1: It is clear, it is It is clear that the
17:13
Speaker 1: Republicans need to get their heads out of their rear
17:15
Speaker 1: end and they need to understand what's happening right now.
17:20
Speaker 1: You know, you had Chinese jets, for example, come within
17:22
Speaker 1: five meters of a Canadian spy plane and a very
17:26
Speaker 1: aggressive intercept. Today you have Russia and China meeting. You
17:31
Speaker 1: have the President of United States of America having to
17:33
Speaker 1: figure out what he says. Here you have Mitch McConnell's
17:36
Speaker 1: saying he can't disagree more with Trump's comments on hesblah
17:39
Speaker 1: and net and Yahoo today. So now we have Republicans
17:42
Speaker 1: fighting other Republicans. Here's what Mitch McConnell said on the
17:46
Speaker 1: Senate side at his press conference.
17:51
Speaker 14: Do you have any reaction of former President Trump saying
17:54
Speaker 14: that Hesbela is very smart and also his criticism of
17:58
Speaker 14: Prime Minister Benjamin Netton and.
17:59
Speaker 4: Abe, I certainly do. I can't disagree more. Is bala
18:06
Speaker 4: is a terrorist organization just like AMAS, funded by the
18:11
Speaker 4: same source as from OS and Prime Minister Netanyahu is
18:15
Speaker 4: one of the great leaders of modern times.
18:19
Speaker 1: Andrew, I mean, could you have made it any easier
18:22
Speaker 1: for the media? Could you have made it any easier
18:26
Speaker 1: to come out there and to get in this big
18:28
Speaker 1: back and forth with the President of the United States
18:30
Speaker 1: of America former President Trump. Jensaki asks if Trump already
18:34
Speaker 1: violated the gag order by attacking judge who issued that
18:37
Speaker 1: gag order. This is where we're spiraling right now as
18:41
Speaker 1: a conservative movement because we don't have actual leaders right
18:45
Speaker 1: now leading. We need a speaker and we need a
18:48
Speaker 1: speaker now. Okay, we need a speaker, and we need
18:52
Speaker 1: a speaker now so that we can get the House
18:56
Speaker 1: in order as soon as possible, period full stop. Let
19:05
Speaker 1: me play for you, for example, what Representative Sephonics said
19:08
Speaker 1: about Jim Jordan. Okay, this was the pitch to get
19:12
Speaker 1: everybody but a couple of selfish, arrogant, cocky Republicans on
19:17
Speaker 1: board that are sitting there holding up countless amount of
19:23
Speaker 1: not just votes, but also having united front as Republicans.
19:27
Speaker 1: And I want you to hear what she had to
19:29
Speaker 1: say about Jim Jordan. I think it's important you understand
19:32
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan is the guy, by the way, that deserves
19:34
Speaker 1: this job. As I'm live here in DC for all this,
19:37
Speaker 1: I can tell you the amount of frustration from like
19:40
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of Republicans is just like through the
19:44
Speaker 1: roof losing their minds. And if you listen to what
19:47
Speaker 1: she said about Jim Jordan, you understand why this should
19:49
Speaker 1: have been an easy vote, but there are grandstanders who
19:52
Speaker 1: refuse to get on board.
19:54
Speaker 14: This is your speaker pro temp, Madam Clerk, Colleagues on
19:58
Speaker 14: behalf of the House Looking Conference, I rise today to
20:02
Speaker 14: nominate the gentleman from Ohio, Jim Jordan, as Speaker of
20:06
Speaker 14: the People's House. We are at a time of great
20:25
Speaker 14: crisis across America, a time of historic challenges in this
20:31
Speaker 14: very chamber, and a time when heinous acts of terror
20:36
Speaker 14: and evil have been committed against our great ally Israel.
20:41
Speaker 14: As this body convenes for the sacred responsibility to elect
20:45
Speaker 14: the next Speaker of the People's House, I am reminded
20:49
Speaker 14: of the Book of Esther. For such a time is this,
20:54
Speaker 14: Jim Jordan will be America Speaker. For such a time
20:58
Speaker 14: as this. A time when hard working American families are
21:02
Speaker 14: struggling under the vice of inflation, not able to afford grocerees, heat,
21:07
Speaker 14: or gas because of the trillions and trillions of dollars
21:10
Speaker 14: of reckless spending by failed far left government. A time
21:14
Speaker 14: when millions are being illegally trafficked and smuggled across our
21:18
Speaker 14: southern and northern borders due to the catastrophic and inhumane
21:22
Speaker 14: wide open borders of Joe Biden. A time when violent
21:27
Speaker 14: crime is skyrocketing across America, destroying our great cities, suburbs,
21:32
Speaker 14: and small towns, where people no longer feel safe in
21:36
Speaker 14: their homes. Or in their communities. A time when American
21:40
Speaker 14: energy production has been crushed by Joe Biden's radical far
21:44
Speaker 14: left policies, causing seniors, farmers, and families to pay more
21:48
Speaker 14: at the pump and struggle with skyrocketing utility bills. A
21:53
Speaker 14: time when the federal government is weaponized against we, the
21:58
Speaker 14: people who they are supple host to serve, stripping us
22:02
Speaker 14: of our God given constitutional rights and wrongfully targeting Conservatives, Catholics,
22:08
Speaker 14: and even parents at school board meetings. And a time
22:13
Speaker 14: when the people of our closest and most precious, ally Israel,
22:17
Speaker 14: suffered the bloodiest day since the Holocaust, with acts of
22:21
Speaker 14: inhumane evil committed by Hummas terrorist backed by Iran, grotesque atrocities,
22:29
Speaker 14: the beheadings of babies, rapes, kidnappings and slaughter of women,
22:35
Speaker 14: children and the elderly, and Israelis and Americans taken hostage.
22:41
Speaker 14: We are here in this very chamber for such a
22:44
Speaker 14: time as this. Jim Jordan will be we the people speaker,
22:50
Speaker 14: for such a time as this. Our friend and colleague,
22:54
Speaker 14: Jim Jordan is a patriot. He is an America First
22:57
Speaker 14: warrior who wins the toughest of fights, going after corruption
23:01
Speaker 14: and delivering accountability at the highest levels of government on
23:05
Speaker 14: behalf of we the people.
23:08
Speaker 3: Jim is the.
23:08
Speaker 14: Voice of the American people who have felt voiceless for
23:11
Speaker 14: far too long. Whether as Judiciary chair, Conservative leader, or
23:16
Speaker 14: representative for his constituents in West central Ohio, Whether on
23:20
Speaker 14: the wrestling mat or in the committee room, Jim Jordan
23:24
Speaker 14: is strategic, scrappy, tough and principled. He is a mentor,
23:28
Speaker 14: a worker, and above all, he is a fighter. And
23:31
Speaker 14: the American people know. We know that Jim Jordan is
23:36
Speaker 14: a winner on behalf of the American people. Almost ten
23:41
Speaker 14: years ago, many of us sat with our colleague Jim
23:44
Speaker 14: Jordan in this very chamber when Prime Minister Netanyaho delivered
23:49
Speaker 14: his historic joint address, which some of our colleagues across
23:53
Speaker 14: the aisle shamefully boycotted. BB pointed out that in this
23:58
Speaker 14: very chamber we serve under the watchful gaze of Moses.
24:03
Speaker 14: He said, quote, overlooking all of us in this chamber
24:07
Speaker 14: is the image of Moses. And before the people of
24:09
Speaker 14: Israel entered the land of Israel, Moses gave us a
24:12
Speaker 14: message that has stealed our resolve for thousands of years.
24:16
Speaker 14: Be strong and resolute, neither fear nor dread them. He
24:21
Speaker 14: went on to say, my friends, may Israel and America
24:24
Speaker 14: always stand together, strong and resolute. May we neither fear
24:27
Speaker 14: nor dread the challenges ahead. May we face the future
24:30
Speaker 14: with confidence, strength and hope. End quote on behalf of
24:35
Speaker 14: the American people. Let's face the future with confidence, strength
24:41
Speaker 14: and hope. Let's elect Jim Jordan, our Speaker of the
24:45
Speaker 14: People's House for such a time as this.
24:48
Speaker 10: And I yeeld back.
24:52
Speaker 1: Look, you listen to what she just said there, and
24:55
Speaker 1: I couldn't agree with her more. The reason why I
24:58
Speaker 1: wanted you to hear this is because I wanted you
25:00
Speaker 1: to hear why I think Jim Jordan is a guy
25:03
Speaker 1: that will bring people together. When you got Mitch McConnell
25:06
Speaker 1: taking shots at Donald Trump, and when you've got Republicans
25:10
Speaker 1: that are going on TV like Ken Buck, who's so
25:13
Speaker 1: stupid he actually says he's voting for Tom Immer, a
25:16
Speaker 1: guy that he doesn't even like, just because he doesn't
25:19
Speaker 1: want to vote for Jim Jordan. Again his words, it's
25:21
Speaker 1: a Republican listen, did not.
25:24
Speaker 2: Vote for a Congressman Jim Jordan, instead voting for Tom Emmer. Well,
25:28
Speaker 2: I guess my first question is do you really want
25:30
Speaker 2: Tom Emmer to be Speaker?
25:32
Speaker 9: No, I don't. I don't like Tom Emmer. I figured
25:34
Speaker 9: this would be the worst job in America. Mike Rowe
25:36
Speaker 9: would not want to do this for his TV show.
25:38
Speaker 9: This is a terrible job.
25:39
Speaker 2: Okay, So just to underscore that you voted for somebody
25:43
Speaker 2: because you don't like them.
25:45
Speaker 9: I voted for somebody because I wasn't going to vote
25:47
Speaker 9: for Jim.
25:47
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you don't.
25:50
Speaker 1: That is what you're dealing with. Ken Buck says, I'm
25:54
Speaker 1: voting for Tom Emmer. I don't like Tom Emmer because
25:57
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't want to vote for
25:59
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan. Who needs enemies when you have friends like this?
26:05
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, this is the Republican Party right now,
26:09
Speaker 1: and there's there, whether it's this guy or Matt Gates,
26:13
Speaker 1: who's hold you know, you have extremes on both sides within.
26:17
Speaker 1: You have the issues right now that we should all
26:20
Speaker 1: be talking about, and instead we're dealing with this crap
26:25
Speaker 1: right now and Democrats are doing everything they can to
26:31
Speaker 1: take shots and to enjoy these moments. We need a
26:36
Speaker 1: Speaker of the House. You need to call your congressman,
26:40
Speaker 1: and you need to tell your congressman to vote for
26:42
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan and get this deal done. This is when
26:47
Speaker 1: your voice needs to be heard. You need to make
26:51
Speaker 1: sure that your voice is being heard. There are a
26:54
Speaker 1: lot of serious issues right now. I'll give you one
26:57
Speaker 1: example of that. Today was asked a question about putting
27:03
Speaker 1: American troops on the ground in Israel to fight against Tamas.
27:08
Speaker 1: This is something you might want your congressman to be
27:10
Speaker 1: involved in. Listen to the White House and how they
27:13
Speaker 1: responded to that question.
27:15
Speaker 12: Well, Congressman McCall, who's the chairman of the House Foreign
27:20
Speaker 12: Affairs Committee, said something last night.
27:21
Speaker 3: I want to play it for you and get your response.
27:23
Speaker 9: They Listen.
27:25
Speaker 15: My committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, is the committee that
27:29
Speaker 15: is responsible for either declaring war or an authorized use
27:33
Speaker 15: of military for so Actually, I'm currently preparing a draft
27:38
Speaker 15: of that in the event it is called upon and
27:40
Speaker 15: as necessary, but most importantly supported by the American people.
27:46
Speaker 12: John has the administration had any conversations with lawmakers about
27:49
Speaker 12: drafting an AOMF at this point.
27:52
Speaker 16: I don't believe that's an active part of the conversation
27:54
Speaker 16: right now. And again, I think it's important for people
27:56
Speaker 16: to remember the additional military forces that are either being
27:59
Speaker 16: prepared or are on the way to the region is
28:03
Speaker 16: really about sending a signal of deterrence. We don't want
28:05
Speaker 16: to see this conflict escalate and widen. There are no
28:08
Speaker 16: plans or intentions to put US boots on the ground
28:10
Speaker 16: in combat in Israel. Everything we're doing right now is
28:13
Speaker 16: about sending a strong signal of deterrence.
28:17
Speaker 1: You might want to have your congressmen involved in this.
28:20
Speaker 1: You might want to have Republicans who are involved in
28:22
Speaker 1: this conversation right like, this is a big deal. They're
28:26
Speaker 1: now talking about sending American troops to possibly go fight
28:31
Speaker 1: in another war. I would hope that most of you
28:35
Speaker 1: would say, yeah, I might want to know that the
28:37
Speaker 1: Republicans have a speaker so that we can respond to
28:41
Speaker 1: this and not just be sitting there while the president
28:44
Speaker 1: may send our troops into another war. This is a
28:48
Speaker 1: conversation that should be had. Call your congressman two zero
28:54
Speaker 1: two two two one three one two one, Call your
28:57
Speaker 1: congressman and tell your congress okay, that that it's time
29:03
Speaker 1: to get a speaker. It's time to get a speaker.
29:11
Speaker 1: Don't forget Share this podcast with your family and friends.
29:14
Speaker 1: Please and I will see you back here tomorrow
