U.N. Sec. Gen. Shamefully Blasts Israel & Senate Considers Jack Lew-Key Player in Disastrous Obama Iran Deal-to be Ambassador to Israel · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with
0:04
Speaker 2: you as well, and Senator there was a shocking moment
0:08
Speaker 2: at the United Nations when the Secretary General had some
0:14
Speaker 2: shocking words to say, and now Israel is calling for
0:18
Speaker 2: him to resign. This is spreading quickly in the world.
0:24
Speaker 2: Your initial reaction to overall, We're going to play a
0:27
Speaker 2: clip from it in a moment, but overall the shocking
0:29
Speaker 2: anti semitism coming at the United Nations.
0:33
Speaker 3: Well, the United Nations has long been a pit of
0:36
Speaker 3: israel hatred and anti Semitism. In many ways, the United
0:41
Speaker 3: Nations exist so that enemies of Israel can attack Israel
0:44
Speaker 3: on a daily basis. Many aspects of the UN are
0:47
Speaker 3: simply a joke, things like the Human Rights Council being
0:50
Speaker 3: populated by nations like Cuba, like Libya, like Syria. Some
0:54
Speaker 3: of the very worst violators of human rights in the
0:57
Speaker 3: world populate the Human Rights Council. The UN also routinely
1:04
Speaker 3: launches investigations of Israel, attacking Israel, delegitimizing Israel, undermining Israel.
1:10
Speaker 3: All that being said, the behavior of the Secretary General
1:15
Speaker 3: this week was shameful, even by the standards of the
1:20
Speaker 3: United Nations. Give a listen to what he had to.
1:22
Speaker 4: Say on the situation on the ground. Excellencies, The situation
1:30
Speaker 4: in the Middle East is growing.
1:32
Speaker 5: More dire by the hour.
1:35
Speaker 4: The war in Gaza is raging and risks spirallying throughout
1:39
Speaker 4: the region. Divisions are splintering, society's tensions threaten to boil over.
1:48
Speaker 5: At a crucial moment like.
1:49
Speaker 4: This, it is vital to be clear on principles, starting
1:54
Speaker 4: with a fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians. I
2:00
Speaker 4: have condemned an equivocally the oririfying and unprecedented seven October
2:05
Speaker 4: acts of terror by Hamas in Israel. Nothing can justify
2:10
Speaker 4: the deliberate killing, injuring, and kidnapping of civilians, or the
2:14
Speaker 4: launching of rockets against civilian targets. All ostages must be
2:20
Speaker 4: treated humanly and released immediately and without conditions. And I
2:24
Speaker 4: respectfully know the presence among us of members of their families. Excellencies,
2:32
Speaker 4: it is important to also recognize the attacks by Amas
2:35
Speaker 4: did not happen.
2:36
Speaker 5: In a vacuum.
2:38
Speaker 4: The Palestinian people have been subjected to fifty six years
2:42
Speaker 4: of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoorred
2:47
Speaker 4: by settlements and plagued by violence. Their economy is stifled,
2:53
Speaker 4: their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for
2:57
Speaker 4: a political solution to their plight have been vanishing. But
3:02
Speaker 4: believances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks
3:06
Speaker 4: by Amas, and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective
3:11
Speaker 4: punishment of the Palestinian people.
3:14
Speaker 1: Wow. In other words, we stand with Israel.
3:17
Speaker 2: But let's tell you every reason why we actually stand
3:20
Speaker 2: with the Palestinians and Hamas. And now we'll start telling
3:24
Speaker 2: Israel what they can and cannot do to protect themselves.
3:26
Speaker 3: Well, that was utterly disgraceful and dishonest, and in a moment,
3:30
Speaker 3: I want to go through it literally, sentenced by sentence,
3:32
Speaker 3: but I want to first talk about who it is
3:34
Speaker 3: that's speaking. So this is Antonio Manuel de Olivera Guterres.
3:39
Speaker 3: He's from Portugal. He was previously the Prime Minister of Portugal,
3:44
Speaker 3: and he was the Prime Minister of Portugal from nineteen
3:46
Speaker 3: ninety five to two thousand and two. Now, what did
3:51
Speaker 3: he do? What did he also do? He was also
3:55
Speaker 3: the president of the Socialist International. So you need to
3:58
Speaker 3: understand this is the left. The far left hates Israel
4:03
Speaker 3: and the far left embraces anti Semitism. He was pre
4:08
Speaker 3: before that, he was Secretary General of the Socialist Party,
4:10
Speaker 3: but he was president of the Socialist International, the Global
4:13
Speaker 3: Socialist International. So this is one of the leading socialists
4:17
Speaker 3: in the world, a man of the left, revered by leftists.
4:21
Speaker 3: This is who they admire. And I want to go
4:24
Speaker 3: through Ben. I want to play what he's saying again,
4:26
Speaker 3: and I want to stop it a couple of times
4:28
Speaker 3: and just comment on it, sentence by sentence. So play
4:31
Speaker 3: it again from the beginning.
4:33
Speaker 4: The situation in the Middle East is growing more dire
4:37
Speaker 4: by the hour. The war in Gaza is raging and
4:41
Speaker 4: risk spiral link throughout the region. Divisions are splintering, society's
4:48
Speaker 4: tensions threatened.
4:49
Speaker 5: To boil over.
4:51
Speaker 4: At a crucial moment like this, it is vital to
4:55
Speaker 4: be clear on principles, starting with the fundamental principle of
5:00
Speaker 4: respecting and protecting civilians.
5:04
Speaker 1: Let's just stop there. He says, it's spiraling out of control. Center.
5:08
Speaker 2: It spiraled out the control the moment that Hamas parachuted
5:12
Speaker 2: in and started taking hostages and killing people. I mean,
5:15
Speaker 2: you had journalists that gathered in Israel to watch the
5:19
Speaker 2: videos that were taken from the Hamas terraces. They were
5:22
Speaker 2: wearing the equivalent of body cameras, go pro cameras, and
5:25
Speaker 2: they watched the atrocis in Israel. And this guy says
5:28
Speaker 2: it could spiral out of control. We've already passed that point.
5:32
Speaker 2: They spiraled it out of control from square one.
5:35
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And this statement is all about
5:39
Speaker 3: drawing a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. They're both
5:42
Speaker 3: bad actors, they're both to be condemned, they're both to
5:45
Speaker 3: be criticized when they're not remotely comparable. Keep playing, because
5:48
Speaker 3: I want you want you to listen to his words
5:50
Speaker 3: and what exactly he says.
5:53
Speaker 4: I have condemned an equivocally the modifying and unprecedented seven
5:57
Speaker 4: October acts of terror.
5:59
Speaker 5: By Hamas in Israel.
6:01
Speaker 4: Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring, and kidnapping of civilians,
6:07
Speaker 4: or the launching of rockets against civilian targets.
6:10
Speaker 6: Stop.
6:11
Speaker 3: So I want you to look there, Okay, So there
6:14
Speaker 3: he does the obligatory. I can condemn what Hamas did.
6:17
Speaker 3: I mean that he has to say. Now, notice he says,
6:20
Speaker 3: I condemn it on equivocally. Nothing can justify it. And
6:23
Speaker 3: he says the targeting of civilians or the launching of rockets,
6:26
Speaker 3: he doesn't specify the magnitude. Is the Holocaust different from
6:33
Speaker 3: somebody being murdered on the streets. What happened on October
6:37
Speaker 3: seventh is Hamas went in house to house murdering civilians,
6:41
Speaker 3: targeting civilians. They have killed now over one thousand, four
6:45
Speaker 3: hundred Israelis. They murdered elderly people, They murdered little children.
6:50
Speaker 3: They violently raped. Noticed he didn't use that word rape.
6:53
Speaker 3: They violently raped women, They violently raped little girls. Did
6:56
Speaker 3: he condemn the raping of little girls? No, didn't mention
6:58
Speaker 3: it at all. It just says, well, the targeting of
7:00
Speaker 3: civilians or firing rockets that I condemn. He has no
7:03
Speaker 3: acknowledgment that they are beheading and burning alive infants. The
7:08
Speaker 3: scope of it, the depravity of it, is grotesque, and
7:14
Speaker 3: this enlightened socialist leftist jackass cannot bring himself to condemn
7:21
Speaker 3: it beyond I have spoken unequivocally and a condemn it.
7:26
Speaker 3: But let me get on to what I really want
7:28
Speaker 3: to say, which is I hate Israel.
7:29
Speaker 6: Continue.
7:31
Speaker 4: All ostages must be treated you mainly and released immediately
7:34
Speaker 4: and without conditions. And I respectful for we know the
7:38
Speaker 4: presence among us of members of their families.
7:41
Speaker 6: Well that's very kind, excellencies.
7:44
Speaker 4: It is important to also recognize the attacks by Amas
7:48
Speaker 4: did not happen in a vacuum.
7:50
Speaker 5: The Palestinian people.
7:51
Speaker 4: Have been subjected to fifty six years of suffocating occupation.
7:56
Speaker 3: Stop so vacuum guy, you're lying. Gaza is not subject
8:01
Speaker 3: to occupations, suffocating or otherwise. Israel left Gaza. Israel gave
8:07
Speaker 3: the Palestinians Gaza. Not They didn't just give Gaza to
8:10
Speaker 3: the Palestinians, they handed it over. They said, you want
8:13
Speaker 3: to be in charge, you can have your own state.
8:15
Speaker 3: You're in charge of it, you run it. And they
8:17
Speaker 3: had millions and millions of dollars flow into it. All
8:21
Speaker 3: Israel did is put up a wall and say, look,
8:23
Speaker 3: you lunatics, don't come kill us, but you're in charge.
8:27
Speaker 3: The only people occupying Gaza is Hamas. Israel is not
8:32
Speaker 3: in Gaza, although they are going into Gaza now to
8:35
Speaker 3: kill the Hamas terrorists. But that statement, what he means
8:38
Speaker 3: by suffocating occupation is the fact that Israel exists.
8:43
Speaker 6: That's what he means.
8:44
Speaker 3: When anti Semites talk about this, that's what they mean
8:48
Speaker 3: is as long as there is one square inch of Israel,
8:51
Speaker 3: it is, in his world view, a suffocating occupation. It's
8:55
Speaker 3: why when the rabbit anti Israel real activist chant from
9:02
Speaker 3: the river to the sea, they mean from the Jordan
9:04
Speaker 3: River all the way to the sea. They mean obliterating
9:06
Speaker 3: all of Israel. That's what he calls a suffocating occupation.
9:09
Speaker 3: But that is not Gaza. If it's occupied by anyone,
9:13
Speaker 3: it's occupied by Hamas, which is Palestinian. The Israel is
9:16
Speaker 3: not in Gaza. Keep playing.
9:19
Speaker 4: They have seen that land steadily devolved by settlements and
9:22
Speaker 4: plagued by violence. Their economy is stifled, that people displaced
9:28
Speaker 4: and their homes demolished.
9:29
Speaker 6: Stop.
9:31
Speaker 3: So we've talked before on this podcast about one of
9:35
Speaker 3: the classic tools that demagogues and liars use is use
9:40
Speaker 3: of the passive voice. Now what is the passive voice?
9:43
Speaker 3: For those of y'all who weren't paying close attention in
9:47
Speaker 3: high school grammar, the active voice is when there is
9:49
Speaker 3: an actor who is acting on the verb. Ben hit
9:54
Speaker 3: the tennis ball. That's the active voice. Ben is the actor.
9:57
Speaker 3: He is hitting the tennis ball. Massive voice is the
10:01
Speaker 3: ball was hit. The passive voice is deliberately used to
10:07
Speaker 3: hide the actor. So the Nixon White House famously says
10:13
Speaker 3: this said crimes were committed, not who committed the crimes.
10:16
Speaker 3: It is a way you obscure the actors. So when
10:19
Speaker 3: they say their economy was stifled, and I'm pretty sure
10:23
Speaker 3: he doesn't mean stiffler from American pie, he means stifled.
10:27
Speaker 3: He doesn't acknowledge who has stifled the gas economy, which
10:32
Speaker 3: is Hamas that takes millions of dollars that flow in
10:35
Speaker 3: there to build hospitals, to build schools, to build water pipes.
10:38
Speaker 3: And what do they do. They take it all, They
10:40
Speaker 3: loot it all, and they take the water pipes and
10:42
Speaker 3: they turn them into rockets to attack Israelis because the
10:44
Speaker 3: only thing these lunatics want to do is murder Jews,
10:47
Speaker 3: because they are filled with genocidal hatred and the misery
10:54
Speaker 3: of the Palestinian people. Look, I agree that many of
10:57
Speaker 3: the Palestinian people are utterly miserable because Hamas terrorists use
11:02
Speaker 3: them as human shields, and they don't build schools, they
11:04
Speaker 3: don't build hospitals, they don't care about Palestinian babies. They
11:09
Speaker 3: hate Jews more than they care about the Palestinian people.
11:13
Speaker 4: Keep playing that hopes for a political solution to their
11:16
Speaker 4: applied have been vanishing. But alievances of the Palestinian people
11:22
Speaker 4: cannot justify the appalling attacks by Amas, and those appalling
11:26
Speaker 4: attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people.
11:32
Speaker 3: Wow, he claims that the oppression of the Palestinian people
11:38
Speaker 3: cannot justify the appalling attacks of Hamas. But that is,
11:41
Speaker 3: of course what his entire speech is doing, is trying
11:43
Speaker 3: to justify the horrific, inhumane, grotesque terror attacks of Hamas.
11:51
Speaker 3: And then when he says says at the end that
11:56
Speaker 3: they should not justify the punishment of the Palacetian people.
12:01
Speaker 3: Understand this because the media, the corporate media, CNN, ABCNBC,
12:05
Speaker 3: they will lie to you. They will not tell you this.
12:07
Speaker 3: They will do what that dishonest demagogue did. They will
12:11
Speaker 3: suggest that it is Israel that wants Palestinian civilians to
12:14
Speaker 3: suffer or die. That is a flat out lie. Israel
12:18
Speaker 3: goes to greater lengths than any military on the face
12:20
Speaker 3: of the planet, including Portugal's. This guy's the former Prime
12:22
Speaker 3: Minister of Portugal. Portuguese military doesn't go to those lengths
12:27
Speaker 3: to avoid civilian casualties, including texting civilians, including dropping leaflets
12:32
Speaker 3: from the skies, including dropping dud bombs to let people
12:35
Speaker 3: know where they're going, including trying to evacuate civilians. That
12:39
Speaker 3: Israeli military does everything humanly possible to minimize civilian deaths.
12:44
Speaker 3: Why are their civilian deaths because Hamas wants them. Hamas
12:48
Speaker 3: wants Palestinians to die. Hamas deliberately puts its headquarters in
12:53
Speaker 3: the basement of hospitals. It puts missiles in the basements
12:56
Speaker 3: of kindergartens because it wants dead Palestinian kindergarten and children,
13:01
Speaker 3: so that idiots like this can then use those dead
13:06
Speaker 3: human shields as a club to attack and demonize Israel.
13:13
Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends
13:15
Speaker 2: and Augusta precious metals. If you're like me and you've

Speaker 2: a lot of you. Fortunately for you, I've got great

Speaker 2: Precious Medals dot com center. There's now calls and we
14:49
Speaker 2: mentioned this earlier from Israel for this un you know,
14:54
Speaker 2: Secretary General to resign. Do you think other countries will
14:59
Speaker 2: come along along beside Israel? And what role should the
15:02
Speaker 2: president have when it comes to calling on this UN
15:05
Speaker 2: chief to resign.
15:06
Speaker 6: Well, here's what Israel has said.
15:08
Speaker 3: Israel's UN envoy Gelad er Don called the Secretary General's
15:13
Speaker 3: comments shocking, and he demanded that he resigned. Foreign Minister
15:17
Speaker 3: Eli Cohen canceled a meeting with Guteris and Minister Benny Gantz,
15:22
Speaker 3: who actually in the political world of Israel is considered
15:25
Speaker 3: more man of the left, labeled the UN chief a
15:29
Speaker 3: terror apologist. Here is a quote from Ambassador or Don.
15:37
Speaker 3: The UN Secretary of General, who shows understanding for the
15:40
Speaker 3: campaign of mass murder of children, women and the elderly,
15:44
Speaker 3: is not fit to lead the UN. I call on
15:46
Speaker 3: him to resign immediately. There is no justification or point
15:50
Speaker 3: in talking to those who show compassion for the most
15:52
Speaker 3: terrible atrocities committed against the citizens of Israel and the
15:56
Speaker 3: Jewish people. There are simply no words. He went on
16:01
Speaker 3: to say, the remarks were quote horrible and completely disconnected
16:05
Speaker 3: from the reality of our region. It is sad that
16:08
Speaker 3: a person with such views is the head of an
16:11
Speaker 3: organization that arose after the Holocaust. It's really unfathomable. Now
16:17
Speaker 3: you asked, is the United States going to echo that?
16:22
Speaker 3: Is Joe Biden going to echo the call for the
16:24
Speaker 3: UN Secretary General to resign. I'm willing to put the
16:26
Speaker 3: odds of that at zero point zero percent. There is
16:29
Speaker 3: no chance Joe Biden will call on the UN Secretary
16:31
Speaker 3: General to resign because those sentiments are the sentiments that
16:36
Speaker 3: are held by senior members of his administration, including by
16:41
Speaker 3: the way, John Carey, who's right now the climates are,
16:44
Speaker 3: but he was the Secretary of State under Barack Obama.
16:47
Speaker 3: When John Kerry was Secretary of State, he referred to
16:49
Speaker 3: Israel as an apartheid state. That is an utter lie.
16:53
Speaker 3: It is completely false. When John Kerrey did so, I
16:56
Speaker 3: went to the Senate floor and called on John Kerrey
16:59
Speaker 3: to resign as secret teria State. And I said at
17:01
Speaker 3: the time, I said, for the US Secretary of State
17:04
Speaker 3: to repeat these blood libels, his words will be used
17:09
Speaker 3: by the enemies of Israel. That will be used by
17:11
Speaker 3: Hamas and Hesbela and Iran and those that seek the
17:14
Speaker 3: destruction of Israel. And so unfortunately, under Joe Biden, I
17:19
Speaker 3: think there's no chance they're going to call on him
17:21
Speaker 3: to resign because many of them agree with him.
17:26
Speaker 2: It is so shocking that we are at a point
17:28
Speaker 2: now where we have an administration that can't just be
17:31
Speaker 2: outraged over basic issues of right and wrong.
17:35
Speaker 1: And this, to me is an issue of right and wrong.
17:37
Speaker 2: So for Verdict listeners right now that say, hey, I
17:39
Speaker 2: want to stand up for Israel, should they be calling
17:42
Speaker 2: their congressmen and their senators and telling them that they
17:45
Speaker 2: should be putting pressure on this administration on this un issue.
17:50
Speaker 3: What you should be doing is speaking out for Israel,
17:53
Speaker 3: using your voice to make clear that what Hamas did
17:58
Speaker 3: was a grotesque war crime.
18:03
Speaker 6: It was horrific.
18:04
Speaker 3: It was inhumanity of the kind and nature that the
18:10
Speaker 3: Nazis carried out in the Holocaust. It was targeting innocent
18:14
Speaker 3: women and children because they are Jews. And Israel is
18:21
Speaker 3: justified in defending itself and in utterly destroying Hamas. And
18:26
Speaker 3: so look, I think we should be holding American politicians
18:31
Speaker 3: to account when they undermine Israel, as the Biden administration
18:34
Speaker 3: does repeatedly, as the Squad does repeatedly, as radicals in
18:38
Speaker 3: our college, university colleges and universities do repeatedly, and as
18:42
Speaker 3: the un is doing, and so I think adding your
18:45
Speaker 3: voice is important, and I think one of the most
18:49
Speaker 3: important ways to do that is sharing this podcast. I mean,
18:53
Speaker 3: the information we cover in this podcast you don't get.
18:58
Speaker 3: You can watch CNN every minute, twenty four hours a day,
19:01
Speaker 3: although God help you if you did, I would not
19:03
Speaker 3: wish that on my worst enemy. Yeah, and you have
19:08
Speaker 3: spent hours ben on CNN. You know exactly the circle
19:11
Speaker 3: of Hell we're talking about with that.
19:12
Speaker 1: Yes, seven I did seven years in hell.
19:14
Speaker 2: Literally, that's what I tell people about my time there
19:16
Speaker 2: as a conservative trying to fight the battle.
19:18
Speaker 3: But they don't cover news. They won't tell you about
19:21
Speaker 3: any of this. It's simply not. They are now political propaganda.
19:26
Speaker 3: Fox News will cover this, but Fox News you get
19:28
Speaker 3: a snippet here and there, you get a couple of
19:30
Speaker 3: minutes of it, but you don't get the level of
19:33
Speaker 3: in depth analysis of the facts that we try to
19:36
Speaker 3: provide in this podcast. And the reason, look, you and
19:41
Speaker 3: I are sitting here. It is eleven twelve pm. We
19:44
Speaker 3: typically record these podcasts at ten o'clock at night or
19:47
Speaker 3: eleven o'clock at night or midnight because both of us
19:50
Speaker 3: have full time day jobs, but I think it is
19:53
Speaker 3: important to get this information out and so sharing this
19:57
Speaker 3: podcast and making the case that when when we see
20:00
Speaker 3: civilian casualties, which we will, making sure people understand this
20:04
Speaker 3: is because Hamas wants Palestinian civilians to die. They're counting
20:08
Speaker 3: on Democrats in the media to use this to attack Israel.
20:12
Speaker 2: You know, there's also something else that's happening, and that's
20:15
Speaker 2: going to happen on Wednesday, and it is interesting the timing.
20:21
Speaker 2: You have a man that has been nominated to become
20:24
Speaker 2: the ambassador to Israel from the US. I had the
20:28
Speaker 2: privilege of watching you question him, and I want to
20:32
Speaker 2: play part of that because we're now. I mean, if
20:35
Speaker 2: there's any time to have a strong, staunch ambassador, a
20:39
Speaker 2: man that's willing to stand side by side with Israel,
20:42
Speaker 2: this would be the time for the Biden administration to
20:44
Speaker 2: do that. And yet there are a lot of problems
20:47
Speaker 2: with this individual. And I want people to hear what
20:50
Speaker 2: you had to say to them back and forth a
20:52
Speaker 2: little bit.
20:53
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
20:54
Speaker 3: You played a pivotal role in flooding over one hundred
20:58
Speaker 3: billion dollars to the Iranian regime. The Biden administration has
21:04
Speaker 3: continued that policy, flooding nearly an additional one hundred billion
21:09
Speaker 3: dollars to the Iranian regime. That policy of appeasement, sending
21:14
Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars to a theocratic, homicidal, genocidal
21:19
Speaker 3: maniac who leads chance of death to America and death
21:23
Speaker 3: to Israel, has proven catastrophic.
21:27
Speaker 6: The death squads.
21:30
Speaker 3: In Israel from Hamas are funded in real and meaningful
21:35
Speaker 3: ways by the billions of dollars the Obama administration and
21:39
Speaker 3: now the Biden administration has flowed directly to Iran that
21:45
Speaker 3: has proven disastrous.
21:48
Speaker 6: We also have drones.
21:53
Speaker 3: As you know today, the arms embargo on Iran expires
21:59
Speaker 3: to day, ironically, the day of your hearing. You were
22:03
Speaker 3: pivotal in advocating for UN Resolution two two three one,
22:09
Speaker 3: the Iran Deal, which is why the Arms of Bargo
22:13
Speaker 3: is expiring today. On October seventh, Hamas used swarms of
22:18
Speaker 3: sophisticated drones in their October seventh attack. Do you believe
22:23
Speaker 3: the world is safer today because of two three three
22:28
Speaker 3: two two three one and the expiration of the arms
22:32
Speaker 3: in Bargo, allowing Iran now to sell inner ballistic missiles
22:38
Speaker 3: and long range drones.
22:39
Speaker 7: Senator, I think you would have to agree that the
22:43
Speaker 7: history of the US engagement on JCPOA has changed substantially
22:47
Speaker 7: since I sat.
22:48
Speaker 3: Do you think the world is better and safer with
22:51
Speaker 3: the arms of Bargo expire.
22:53
Speaker 8: Its Senator, if the US was not.
22:56
Speaker 6: Yes or no? Are we safer today with no arms
22:58
Speaker 6: in Bargo?
23:00
Speaker 7: I think it's a much more complicated than that, because
23:02
Speaker 7: we're not part of JCPOA. Therefore there was no extension
23:05
Speaker 7: of the arms embargo. I would have advocated for an
23:08
Speaker 7: extension of the arms embargo, and we might well have.
23:11
Speaker 3: And by the way, the Biden administration has been in
23:13
Speaker 3: power two and a half years. The ARSTA bargo is
23:16
Speaker 3: expiring today. And you were pivotal in that happened. Let's
23:20
Speaker 3: look if you look at just that exchange right there.
23:23
Speaker 3: So jacklu was the Treasury Secretary under Barack Obama. Before that,
23:28
Speaker 3: he was chief of Staff under Barack Obama, and he
23:31
Speaker 3: played a central role in the Obama Iran nuclear deal.
23:36
Speaker 3: The Obama Iran nuclear deal was spectacularly foolish. It resulted
23:39
Speaker 3: in over one hundred billion dollars going to Iran and
23:43
Speaker 3: just flooding that economy.
23:44
Speaker 6: With cash.
23:44
Speaker 3: By the way, Iran is the world's leading state sponsor
23:47
Speaker 3: of terrorism, and that money that jacklu sent to Iran,
23:51
Speaker 3: and the money that in the past two and a
23:53
Speaker 3: half years the Biden administration is sent to Iran in
23:56
Speaker 3: a very real sense funded these Hamas death squads and
23:59
Speaker 3: the terror attacks on Israel. But his response is, well, gosh,
24:04
Speaker 3: we're out of the Iran deal now, so it's not
24:06
Speaker 3: my fault. Well, as I pointed out there, Joe Biden's
24:09
Speaker 3: been in office two and a half years. He's tried
24:11
Speaker 3: desperately to give Iran everything it wanted. He's given them
24:14
Speaker 3: another one hundred billion dollars just about. And nonetheless, under
24:20
Speaker 3: Jack Blue's leadership, there is no longer An arms in Bargo,
24:24
Speaker 3: and that was because Lou led the fight to eliminate
24:28
Speaker 3: the arms in Bargo. And we can see those drones
24:32
Speaker 3: attacking and those rockets raining down on Israel.
24:36
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile for ten years has been America's only Christian
24:40
Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. And when I say only trust me,
24:44
Speaker 2: they are literally the only one. The team at Patriots
24:47
Speaker 2: Mobile are incredible because they are an American based company
24:50
Speaker 2: with an American based call center that helps proud Americans
24:55
Speaker 2: just like you that are conservatives and Christian know that
24:57
Speaker 2: when they pay their bill every month, you're actually making
25:00
Speaker 2: a difference and standing up for what you believe in.
25:03
Speaker 2: So stop sending your money to woke companies that are
25:06
Speaker 2: fighting against your values. You may not realize that the
25:08
Speaker 2: Big Mobile they have been giving millions to liberal Democrats
25:13
Speaker 2: and to places like Planned Parenthood. Well, Patriot Mobile has
25:18
Speaker 2: decided to do something else. And I love this about
25:20
Speaker 2: them as a company. For every Verdict listener that switches
25:24
Speaker 2: your cell phone provider to Patriot Mobile, they are going
25:27
Speaker 2: to make an initial donation to a organization that helps
25:32
Speaker 2: protect the lives of unborn children.
25:35
Speaker 1: It is pretty awesome.
25:36
Speaker 2: And then every month when you pay your bill, they
25:39
Speaker 2: take a portion of your bill at no extra cost
25:41
Speaker 2: to you, and they give it back to hardcore conservative
25:44
Speaker 2: Christian organizations. They stand up for freedom of speech, religious freedom,
25:48
Speaker 2: the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, as well as
25:50
Speaker 2: our military, our veterans and first responder heroes. So you're
25:54
Speaker 2: going to have a bill every month for a cell phone,
25:56
Speaker 2: why not put it with a company that fights for
25:58
Speaker 2: what you believe in. One hundred percent US based customer
26:01
Speaker 2: service team is there to help make switching easy. You
26:05
Speaker 2: can keep your same cell phone number you have now
26:07
Speaker 2: keep your same phone, or upgrade to a new one.
26:10
Speaker 2: Call Patriot Mobile nine seven to two Patriot. That's nine
26:14
Speaker 2: to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code Verdict.
26:17
Speaker 2: You'll get free activation and the best deals of the

Speaker 2: year nine seven to two Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com Center.
26:25
Speaker 2: You weren't done with this nominee for to become the
26:28
Speaker 2: ambassador from the US to Israel. You also brought up
26:31
Speaker 2: another point, and I want people to hear what you
26:33
Speaker 2: said during this confirmation shift.
26:35
Speaker 3: To another thing is because the Biden administration didn't just
26:38
Speaker 3: send money to Iran in massive numbers. It is also
26:43
Speaker 3: sent money to Gaza that went to Hamas. And at
26:47
Speaker 3: the time I led a coalition of senators urging the
26:50
Speaker 3: Biden administration do not send money to Gaza because it
26:53
Speaker 3: is controlled by Hamas, it will be used by Hamas
26:55
Speaker 3: for acts of terrorism. We now know that the Biden
26:59
Speaker 3: administration reach the following determination and I quote due to
27:03
Speaker 3: its overall strength and level of control over Gaza, we
27:05
Speaker 3: assess that there is a high risk Hamas could potentially
27:10
Speaker 3: derive indirect on intentional benefit from US assistance to Gaza
27:14
Speaker 3: high risk. Now's Treasury Secretary, You're familiar with these determinations.
27:18
Speaker 3: Under ordinary anti terrorism laws, you can't send money whether
27:22
Speaker 3: it's a high risk it'll be used for terrorism. But
27:24
Speaker 3: what did the Biden administration do? It waved or anti
27:27
Speaker 3: terrorism law because their political agenda was so important, they
27:31
Speaker 3: were willing to take that high risk. Was it a
27:33
Speaker 3: mistake to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza that,
27:36
Speaker 3: in a very real and practical way funded the death
27:39
Speaker 3: squads and funded the rockets that are being used to
27:41
Speaker 3: murder Israelis Center, I was not in government at the
27:44
Speaker 3: time these assisitions were made.
27:45
Speaker 8: It was I misstakeing.
27:46
Speaker 7: I'm not familiar with the back and forth that you're
27:48
Speaker 7: referring to, but my understanding is the funding that went
27:51
Speaker 7: to Gaza was for things like the hospital and humanitarians.
27:56
Speaker 3: So was OFAK wrong when it concluded there's a high
27:58
Speaker 3: risk that Hamasca to derive benefit Center.
28:00
Speaker 8: I would have to look at the document to.
28:02
Speaker 3: Have hire you were one of a few people that has
28:04
Speaker 3: the expertise to do this.
28:05
Speaker 7: I have high regard for Ophac. I just am not
28:08
Speaker 7: familiar with the doctors.
28:09
Speaker 3: So is the world safer or less safe because hundreds
28:13
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars were sent to Gaza when it's
28:15
Speaker 3: controlled by AMAS Center.
28:18
Speaker 7: Hamasa's activities have proven how evil they are and how
28:22
Speaker 7: important it is.
28:24
Speaker 3: You're not answering that question. Let me ask this question.
28:27
Speaker 7: But I will say that the Treasury has repeatedly undermined Israel.
28:34
Speaker 3: Stop stop for a second, Stop for a second. All right,
28:37
Speaker 3: let's just take that exchange right there. So, so I
28:41
Speaker 3: referenced something called OPHAC.
28:42
Speaker 6: What is o fact?
28:43
Speaker 3: O FAC is the Office of Foreign Assets Control o
28:46
Speaker 3: PHAC is part of the Treasury Department. So OPAC reports
28:50
Speaker 3: to the Treasury Secretary. Jacklue knows exactly what OPACT does.
28:53
Speaker 3: O fact all the time makes determinations about whether money
28:57
Speaker 3: is likely to support terrorism. If it is, you can't
29:00
Speaker 3: send the money. That's ophec's job. So notice Jack louse defense.
29:03
Speaker 3: He says, well, I don't know. I'm not part of
29:05
Speaker 3: the administration. Mind you. He's been nominated by Joe Biden
29:09
Speaker 3: to serve as the United States ambassador to Israel. But
29:12
Speaker 3: his defense is ignorance. He's not going to defend the
29:16
Speaker 3: sending money to Gaza, even though o fact, the office
29:19
Speaker 3: that used to report to him concluded there was a
29:21
Speaker 3: high likely it would go to Hamas and go to
29:22
Speaker 3: terrorism instead. He says, well, I don't know. I don't
29:25
Speaker 3: know anything. You know, I'm just some guy sitting here.
29:28
Speaker 3: Don't ask me to know anything about it. And then
29:30
Speaker 3: he also puts out the rather amusing talking point, Well,
29:34
Speaker 3: the money was supposed to go to hospitals, no kidding, Yeah, yeah,
29:40
Speaker 3: you hundreds hundreds of millions that has flooded into Gaza
29:44
Speaker 3: was supposed to go to hospitals. Remember the goose stepping
29:48
Speaker 3: Secretary General of the UN where he says talks about
29:52
Speaker 3: the poverty in Gaza. Well, the reason they're so poor
29:55
Speaker 3: is they take all the money that's supposed to go
29:57
Speaker 3: to hospitals and they send it to Hamas to kill
29:59
Speaker 3: Jews instead, because that's the only thing they care about
30:02
Speaker 3: as murdering as many Jews as possible. And jacklu should
30:06
Speaker 3: know that. But but all right, the questioning goes on
30:09
Speaker 3: because next I ask him about the Biden administration systematically
30:13
Speaker 3: undermining Israel.
30:14
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna.
30:15
Speaker 3: Foreshadow slightly if you thought he didn't know anything about
30:19
Speaker 3: or he claimed he didn't know anything about Biden's policy
30:22
Speaker 3: towards towards Gaza. He's going to claim he knows even
30:25
Speaker 3: less about Biden's policy towards Israel. Within hours of the
30:28
Speaker 3: attack commencing, the State Department sent out a tweet from
30:32
Speaker 3: the Office of Palestinian Affairs, an office that would report
30:35
Speaker 3: to you if you're confirmed, that said, we unequivocally condemned
30:38
Speaker 3: the attack of Amas terrorist and the loss of life
30:40
Speaker 3: that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from
30:44
Speaker 3: violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing. Do
30:48
Speaker 3: you agree with this tweet that was sent by the
30:49
Speaker 3: Biden State Department.
30:51
Speaker 8: Center, I would have to read it. I'm not familiar
30:56
Speaker 8: with it.
30:56
Speaker 6: You're not familiar with it.
30:57
Speaker 8: I want, I want, I wanted to go back to
30:59
Speaker 8: the last point.
31:00
Speaker 6: Hold on a second. You're not familiar with this tweet.
31:03
Speaker 3: They sent it out at three in the morning, while
31:05
Speaker 3: the attacks were unfolding. I blasted it at three in
31:07
Speaker 3: the morning, and they deleted it within the hour because
31:10
Speaker 3: it was shameful. They were telling telling Israel, do not
31:14
Speaker 3: respond while your citizens are being murdered.
31:16
Speaker 7: And by the way, the President of the United States
31:19
Speaker 7: has stated clearly the policy of the United States.
31:22
Speaker 8: I agree, I agree.
31:23
Speaker 3: With Sue, I understand, But at the same time, this
31:26
Speaker 3: administration repeatedly walks back what he says. So here's another
31:30
Speaker 3: tweet sent from the State Department, Turkish Foreign Minister and
31:33
Speaker 3: I spoke. This is from Secretary Blincoln spoke further on
31:37
Speaker 3: Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. I encouraged Turkey's advocacy for
31:41
Speaker 3: a cease fire and the release of all hostages held
31:44
Speaker 3: by Hamas immediately.
31:45
Speaker 6: Do you agree with this tweet from.
31:48
Speaker 3: The Secretary of State calling for a cease fire immediately
31:51
Speaker 3: after this attack began.
31:53
Speaker 7: I think the President and the Secretary of State have
31:55
Speaker 7: made clear that Israel has a right and a receive.
31:58
Speaker 6: You agree with this tweet from the State.
32:00
Speaker 8: Senator, I can't respond to tweets that you're reading to me.
32:04
Speaker 6: Why are you not familiar with it?
32:05
Speaker 3: I'm telling you, they haven't followed what the administration has
32:07
Speaker 3: said on this. By the way, they deleted this tweet
32:09
Speaker 3: as well. Day after day after day, this administration is
32:14
Speaker 3: systematically undermined Israel. And finally you advocated for you a
32:18
Speaker 3: wold those shop. All right, let's take that back and forth.
32:22
Speaker 3: Notice his entire defense is I don't know a damn thing.
32:25
Speaker 3: I have no idea now, mind you. So Jacklu was
32:28
Speaker 3: nominated months ago, his nomination hadn't gone anywhere. Why hadn't
32:33
Speaker 3: gone anywhere? In fact, there were some Democrats who were
32:35
Speaker 3: attacking me saying Cruz is holding this nomination. That was
32:40
Speaker 3: in fact not true, because you cannot hold a nomination
32:44
Speaker 3: until it is cleared committee and is headed to the floor.
32:47
Speaker 3: Until it has made it out of committee. No senator
32:49
Speaker 3: can hold any nomination because there's no there's no ability
32:53
Speaker 3: in the Senate to do that. So the reason Jacklu
32:56
Speaker 3: had not proceeded until last week is because the Democrats
32:59
Speaker 3: who controlled the heres hadn't scheduled a hearing for him,
33:01
Speaker 3: and they just allow his nomination to sit there for
33:03
Speaker 3: a week after week after week after week. Now, once
33:05
Speaker 3: this attack happened, suddenly the Democrat talking point went out,
33:09
Speaker 3: and it went out from the White House, it went
33:11
Speaker 3: out from the Democrats in the Senate and the House.
33:13
Speaker 3: Everyone was echoing, we must confirm Jacklu now, now, now, now,
33:17
Speaker 3: now why, because Israel's in crisis that we need our
33:19
Speaker 3: ambassador there. And so they rushed the hearing the last
33:22
Speaker 3: week and today we're going to vote in the Senate
33:25
Speaker 3: Formulations Committee. I assume every Democrat is going to vote
33:28
Speaker 3: to confirm jacklu and they're saying we must do it
33:31
Speaker 3: because of the war at Israel. Now notice his defense.
33:34
Speaker 3: There's a war at Israel, and he's saying, well, I
33:36
Speaker 3: don't know what's happening. I don't know what the State
33:38
Speaker 3: Department said, I don't know what the State Department said
33:40
Speaker 3: the day the attack happened. I don't know what the
33:42
Speaker 3: Secretary of State that said the day after the attack happened.
33:45
Speaker 3: Both of those tweets were deleted because they were disgraced
33:48
Speaker 3: when they were deleted after I called them out. And
33:51
Speaker 3: his defense, it's it's just the I know nothing defense,
33:56
Speaker 3: And there's a reason he has to give that defense,
33:59
Speaker 3: because the altern is to actually defend it, and.
34:02
Speaker 6: Even the Biden administration won't defend it.
34:04
Speaker 3: They deleted the tweets and realize, oh crap, we can't
34:07
Speaker 3: say this out loud, and so instead he's reduced to
34:11
Speaker 3: just dissembling.
34:14
Speaker 2: And it seems to work for them because it's like
34:17
Speaker 2: they say, we'll get away with it, because surely no
34:20
Speaker 2: one's really going to try to stop us now that
34:23
Speaker 2: we desperately need this nominee.
34:25
Speaker 1: Is that part of the game plan here?
34:27
Speaker 2: Just hey, act like you're an idiot, so you get
34:29
Speaker 2: the nomination done with, and then you can do what
34:32
Speaker 2: you really know and we know you're going to do
34:34
Speaker 2: for us and what you really believe in. And you're
34:36
Speaker 2: not going to be a tough guy, you know with
34:38
Speaker 2: with hamas Asma. In fact, you're probably gonna be tougher
34:40
Speaker 2: on Israel as the ambassador from the US.
34:43
Speaker 6: Yeah.
34:43
Speaker 3: Look, the Biden administration's argument is essentially, our policies have
34:48
Speaker 3: utterly screwed up the Middle East. It's caused chaos in Israel.
34:51
Speaker 3: Sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and funding
34:54
Speaker 3: terrorists was a spectactularly bad idea. But because things are
34:57
Speaker 3: so screwed up, we need to confirm one of the
34:59
Speaker 3: guys who was one of the lead advocates for sending
35:01
Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and the terrorists.
35:04
Speaker 3: In other words, one of the architects of the policies
35:06
Speaker 3: who screwed this up. We got to confirm as our ambassador.
35:09
Speaker 3: Because things are so screwed up, that makes no sense.
35:12
Speaker 3: I would like to see a US ambassador to Israel
35:15
Speaker 3: confirmed yesterday. I'd like to see one who actually has
35:18
Speaker 3: committed number one to defending America, but number two to
35:21
Speaker 3: standing with our friend in ally Israel. And Jack Lu's
35:24
Speaker 3: record has been precisely backwards.
35:26
Speaker 6: But let's go.
35:27
Speaker 3: Let's go to the last exchange of the hearing, because
35:29
Speaker 3: the last exchange really reveals. And finally, you advocated for
35:33
Speaker 3: UN resolution two three three four, which declared much of
35:37
Speaker 3: Israel illegally occupied territory, including the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem
35:43
Speaker 3: and the Western Wall. Do you believe the Jewish Quarter
35:46
Speaker 3: in the Western Wall or illegally occupied territory?
35:49
Speaker 7: Senator, I do not believe that it is illegally occupied territory.
35:56
Speaker 6: Why did you support a UN resolution saying that it is?
35:59
Speaker 7: I think the the we could have a conversation about that,
36:02
Speaker 7: but it was going to take me more than ten
36:04
Speaker 7: seconds to respond to it, which all the time.
36:06
Speaker 6: You allow the witness to respond. If you allow the witness.
36:10
Speaker 7: To respond, so first, if I can respond, You've said
36:13
Speaker 7: a lot of things that you have not given me
36:15
Speaker 7: a chance to respond to. I sanctioned Hamas in twenty fifteen.
36:18
Speaker 7: Hamas was sanctioned again today. So I don't think it
36:21
Speaker 7: was a fair characterization of either what I did or
36:23
Speaker 7: this administration. Second of all, the issue of a UN
36:29
Speaker 7: resolution is it was a UN resolution that all the
36:35
Speaker 7: parties had to agree to, that was negotiated to take
36:37
Speaker 7: out the most offensive provisions.
36:40
Speaker 8: Whether it was a good or a bad resolution.
36:42
Speaker 7: In the end, the president decided to abstain rather than
36:46
Speaker 7: have a worse resolution come out. You can agree or
36:49
Speaker 7: disagree with that Veto did, but he was trying to
36:52
Speaker 7: prevent a worse resolution.
36:56
Speaker 6: The time has expired, worth.
37:00
Speaker 3: So understand that exchange. So this all happened at the
37:05
Speaker 3: end of twenty sixteen. So December of twenty sixteen, the
37:07
Speaker 3: president dential election has happened. Donald Trump has just been elected.
37:11
Speaker 3: Barack Obama is a lame duck on the way out.
37:14
Speaker 3: Before they leave, they decided they wanted to stick it
37:18
Speaker 3: to Israel on the way out the door. So in
37:20
Speaker 3: December of twenty sixteen, the Obama administration orchestrated UN Resolution
37:25
Speaker 3: two three three four. UN Resolution two three three four
37:29
Speaker 3: is the most viciously anti Israel, anti Semitic resolution that's
37:33
Speaker 3: ever made it out of the United Nations. It declares
37:37
Speaker 3: much of modern day Israel illegally occupied territory and illegitimate.
37:43
Speaker 3: It declares Judaea and Samaria illegally occupied territory and illegitimate.
37:49
Speaker 3: It declares, as I mentioned in the question, the Jewish
37:52
Speaker 3: Quarter of Jerusalem as illegally occupied territory. It declares the
37:58
Speaker 3: Western Wall. It's also called the whaling Wall. You may
38:00
Speaker 3: remember there's a famous picture of Barack Obama wearing a
38:03
Speaker 3: yamaka with his hand resting against the Western Wall. Under
38:08
Speaker 3: UN resolution two three three four, the western wall of
38:12
Speaker 3: the of Solomon's Temple is illegally occupied territory. Now that
38:18
Speaker 3: is absurd. It is a lie. It is incredibly damaging. Now,
38:23
Speaker 3: how did the Obama administration did this. They did this
38:25
Speaker 3: by orchestrating behind the scenes and getting the enemies of
38:28
Speaker 3: Israel to draft it, to author it. They were actively
38:33
Speaker 3: involved in drafting it. But then you know his defense
38:38
Speaker 3: that he kept saying, well, we did it because we
38:41
Speaker 3: wanted to prevent something worse from happening. We wanted that
38:44
Speaker 3: to prevent them from passing an even worse resolution. Now
38:48
Speaker 3: there is a technical legal term for what he just
38:50
Speaker 3: did there, and that's called a lie. That's called utter garbage.
38:54
Speaker 3: Why because under the UN Charter, the United States is
38:58
Speaker 3: a permanent member of the Securearity Council, and we have
39:01
Speaker 3: a veto. We can veto any resolution that comes out.
39:05
Speaker 3: So if the United States says two words, says I object,
39:09
Speaker 3: the resolution fails, that's a power the United States has.
39:14
Speaker 3: So he said, well, the president decided to abstain, So
39:17
Speaker 3: he did more than that. The Obama administration was behind
39:20
Speaker 3: the scenes orchestrating the whole thing. But lou was intimately
39:25
Speaker 3: involved in undermining Israel on the way out the door.
39:30
Speaker 3: And I will note when the Trump presidency started, I
39:33
Speaker 3: introduced legislation that would have cut off funding for the
39:36
Speaker 3: United Nations entirely from the United States unless and until
39:41
Speaker 3: they rescinded UN Resolution two three three four. And we
39:45
Speaker 3: should have stood hard and done that. Unfortunately, in fact,
39:48
Speaker 3: I got in arguments with Niki Haley it was nominated
39:52
Speaker 3: to be UN Ambassador, because she disagreed with doing that.
39:54
Speaker 3: And I think we should have stood firmly and said
39:58
Speaker 3: this is a viciously anti Israel resolution and we will
40:01
Speaker 3: not stand for it. You're not getting our money as
40:04
Speaker 3: long as you're attacking Israel. That's what we should have done.
40:07
Speaker 3: But I got to say I have no doubt that
40:11
Speaker 3: the Secretary General of the UN would would have been
40:16
Speaker 3: thrilled and maybe was thrilled at the time with the resolution.
40:21
Speaker 3: It's entirely consistent with the remarks that he made this week.
40:26
Speaker 2: It is again one of those issues where Americans need
40:30
Speaker 2: to understand these are important and big votes, and these
40:33
Speaker 2: are people that are getting into positions of power and
40:36
Speaker 2: they're putting not just our security at risk, but especially
40:40
Speaker 2: those in Israel at risk, and with this anti semitism,
40:44
Speaker 2: to be clear, that's what it is. I also want
40:47
Speaker 2: to play for you, Senator the White House. They're taking
40:50
Speaker 2: some heat now for their stance on Israel that seems
40:53
Speaker 2: to be changing by the hour. Before I do that,
40:55
Speaker 2: I want to tell you about our friends at Chalk.
40:58
Speaker 2: If you are a guy and you're getting a little
41:00
Speaker 2: bit older and you feel like that you have lost
41:02
Speaker 2: some of your strength and your vitality and weakness is
41:06
Speaker 2: setting in, complacency setting in.
41:08
Speaker 1: Maybe you just don't feel like yourself.
41:10
Speaker 2: You want to go out and be more active, but
41:12
Speaker 2: you just feel like you are complacent and fatigued.
41:16
Speaker 1: Well, you're not alone.
41:18
Speaker 2: The problem is men's to STOSTRM levels are off a
41:20
Speaker 2: cliff historically at an all time low. Thankfully, the patriots
41:26
Speaker 2: at Chalk are here to help real American men take

42:22
Speaker 2: Choq dot com. Senator, I want to play for you quickly.
42:26
Speaker 2: The White House and the White House got themselves in
42:29
Speaker 2: some trouble because the President has mostly been saying the
42:33
Speaker 2: right things, but the White House and the staffers completely
42:38
Speaker 2: different story. Take a list in the White House Press briefing.
42:41
Speaker 9: Level of concern right now about potential rise of.
42:45
Speaker 6: Anti Semitism in line of everything that's going on is reel.
42:48
Speaker 9: So a couple of things. Look, we have not seen
42:54
Speaker 9: any credible threads. I know there's been always questions about
42:57
Speaker 9: credible threads, and so just want to make sure that
43:01
Speaker 9: that's out there. But look, Muslim and those perceived to
43:04
Speaker 9: be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate fueled attacks,
43:09
Speaker 9: and certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim
43:12
Speaker 9: Arab Arab Americans and Palastine American loved ones and neighbors
43:16
Speaker 9: are worried about the hate being directed at their communities.
43:20
Speaker 9: And that is something you heard the President speak to
43:22
Speaker 9: in his address just last last Thursday. And so one
43:27
Speaker 9: of the things that the President has done is directed
43:29
Speaker 9: his team, Homeland Security team to prioritize prevention and disruption
43:34
Speaker 9: of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish, the
43:37
Speaker 9: Muslim Ab Americans, are any other communities. And that is
43:40
Speaker 9: something that the President has sought to do and since
43:44
Speaker 9: day one, as you know, the President ran on you know,
43:48
Speaker 9: bringing community, protecting communities obviously, but bringing people together, the soul,
43:54
Speaker 9: protecting the soul of the nation. And so that is
43:57
Speaker 9: something that the President takes very very serious. And you know,
44:02
Speaker 9: we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate
44:04
Speaker 9: towards any American here, and so that's what we're going
44:07
Speaker 9: to continue to be steadfast on. Again, he has advised
44:11
Speaker 9: directed his Homeland Security team to make sure that they're
44:14
Speaker 9: on top of this now.
44:15
Speaker 1: Center.
44:16
Speaker 2: The part about this that's so appable is the White
44:19
Speaker 2: House Press Secretary has now come out and said, quote
44:23
Speaker 2: she misheard the anti semitism question only because of the
44:28
Speaker 2: massive backlash from that answer.
44:31
Speaker 3: Well, it really is striking that the White House Press
44:33
Speaker 3: Secretary is unwilling to stand up and clearly and unequivocally
44:36
Speaker 3: condemned anti semitism. Say, anti Semitism is wrong, it is evil.
44:40
Speaker 3: It is a unique evil that has existed on this
44:42
Speaker 3: face of this planet for thousands of years, and we
44:46
Speaker 3: are completely opposed to it. Moreover, we will ensure that
44:50
Speaker 3: that law enforcement resources are there to protect Jewish Americans.
44:53
Speaker 3: I'll tell you Jewish communities across this country have a
44:56
Speaker 3: level of concern and a level of fear, unlike any
44:59
Speaker 3: time I've ever scene as the anti Semitism on college
45:03
Speaker 3: campuses that there was a Jewish student at Columbia was
45:07
Speaker 3: beaten with a stick in recent days, the threats of
45:11
Speaker 3: violence on campuses because the anti Israel, the jew hating
45:17
Speaker 3: far left is so extreme that there is a real
45:21
Speaker 3: threat of violence against the American Jewish community and for
45:25
Speaker 3: that matter, of the Jewish community worldwide in Europe and elsewhere.
45:29
Speaker 3: And I got to say her answer to that was
45:32
Speaker 3: striking in that the Babylon Bee, which does a fabulous
45:36
Speaker 3: job as a humor and satire site, they had an
45:41
Speaker 3: article that they hadn't published, but they tweeted it out
45:44
Speaker 3: today and they said, it's hard to stay ahead of reality.
45:47
Speaker 6: At the Babylon Bee.
45:48
Speaker 3: We had this written up last night, only to wake
45:51
Speaker 3: up and see the White House doing exactly this before
45:53
Speaker 3: we had a chance to publish. And here was the
45:56
Speaker 3: fake satirical headline that they had written, and they were
45:59
Speaker 3: getting ready to publish when Kareem John Pierre beat them
46:01
Speaker 3: to the punch. The fake headline read in strong response
46:06
Speaker 3: to rising hate crimes, against Jews, Democrats denounce Islamophobia. That's
46:11
Speaker 3: exactly what she did. And it's and I tweeted out,
46:14
Speaker 3: no longer satire, just sad because their view listen when
46:19
Speaker 3: it comes to the anti Semitic bigots, to when it
46:22
Speaker 3: comes to the squad, when it comes to the thirty
46:25
Speaker 3: five student groups at Harvard and the radicals running our
46:30
Speaker 3: college campuses, the Biden White House, and I would have
46:32
Speaker 3: to assume, including Kareem John Pierre, side with the radicals
46:36
Speaker 3: against the people of Israel and against even American Jews.
46:40
Speaker 3: Their answer, they say, we've seen no credible threat of
46:45
Speaker 3: anti Semitism in America. Really, well, where the hell have
46:48
Speaker 3: you been if you haven't seen any, because I got
46:51
Speaker 3: to tell you, the Jewish community is feeling it acutely,
46:55
Speaker 3: and we've seen multiple horrific acts of violence directed against Jews,
46:58
Speaker 3: directed against synagogue, including mass murders in the United States,
47:02
Speaker 3: and for the White House to say they see no
47:05
Speaker 3: credible threat is truly absurd.
47:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.
47:07
Speaker 2: I was talking literally today to a dear friend of
47:10
Speaker 2: mine who's Jewish and that works very close to Times
47:13
Speaker 2: Square in a largely Jewish community, and he said they
47:17
Speaker 2: had been told by local law enforcement to really be
47:21
Speaker 2: on high alert and be careful, and even it recommended
47:24
Speaker 2: they traveled together in groups, not be isolated alone, and
47:27
Speaker 2: to be careful at their places of business. That is
47:32
Speaker 2: what he said to me today. And yet the White
47:34
Speaker 2: House is acting like none of that's happening at all.
47:37
Speaker 3: It is sad and today's Democrat Party is captive to
47:41
Speaker 3: the far left. And I will say I've had conversations
47:45
Speaker 3: with multiple people on the left who are not deeply political,
47:50
Speaker 3: who are shocked at the open anti Semitism that that
47:56
Speaker 3: is arising on the far left. It's been there for
47:58
Speaker 3: a long time, but if you're not paying attention, it
48:01
Speaker 3: takes something like the events of the last couple of
48:03
Speaker 3: weeks to really bring into stark relief.
48:05
Speaker 6: And I hope this is opening some eyes.
48:07
Speaker 2: We're gonna keep covering it, We're gonna keep breaking news
48:10
Speaker 2: on it, and we'll keep you updated on it each
