1
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Welcome

2
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: to the Aaron Mullins Show. It's great to have your company.

3
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: What is it like to be in the Oval Office

4
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: looking at President Trump advocating for a course of action

5
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: you believe in, when there's two other very important people

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: on the other side advocating for the complete opposite. What

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: is the process We're about to find out. My guest today,

8
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: Ambassador David Friedman, has been there and it gives us

9
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: a blow by blow account. It is fascinating. You cannot

10
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: miss it. Before we get to Ambassador Friedman, let's take

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: a look at what is happening around the world. And

12
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: forty eight US fighter jets on their way to the

13
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 1: Middle East. That's big. There's already a huge presence there.

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: And as my guests a couple of weeks ago, Secretary

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: Rob Wilke said, you don't have that amount of military

16
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: mice in a region and not pull the trigger. So

17
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: what is it saying if you're increasing that military might

18
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: day by day? Something's brewing. Now the Ayatola has spoken.

19
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: It was actually hilarious, as funny as an evil person

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: can be. Felt like an episode of the Simpsons or

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: South Park. He was trying to be funny, and of

22
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: course everyone laughed and cheered, because you die if you don't.

23
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 1: It's punishable by death if you don't find him funny.

24
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: This is what he said, and this is reliant upon

25
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: a translation, but something to the effect of America thinks

26
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: it's got the most biggest and impressive military, but sometimes

27
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: the strongest in the world might choke so hard it

28
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: can't swallow. And of course all of his subjects, ha ha,

29
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: what does he know about that choking and swallowing. It's

30
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: a bizarre reference, isn't it. Maybe it's more revealing than

31
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: we might have initially thought. He then went on to

32
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: threaten to sink the US aircraft carriers and also made

33
00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: the point that the President said himself, from President Trump,

34
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: I'm referring to that in forty seven years, the US

35
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: hasn't been able to end the Islamic regime, and that

36
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't think he'll still be able to end it.

37
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: And then everyone kind of cheered and laughed like he

38
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: was really clever.

39
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: Have a look about Israel. They keep saying, we've sent

40
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 2: a fleet towards Irani.

41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 3: All right, thankful.

42
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: A fleet is certainly a dangerous thing. But more dangerous

43
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: than a fleet is the weapon that can send it

44
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 2: to the bottom of the sea. The President of the

45
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: United States, in one of his recent speeches well said

46
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: that for forty seven years, America has not been able

47
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 2: to eliminate the Islamic Republic. He complained to his own people,

48
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: forty seven years that America has not been able to

49
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: eliminate the Islamic Republic. This is a good admission, I say,

50
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: you won't be able to do it either.

51
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Again, it's quite bizarre. I mean, he's mocking the Americans,

52
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 1: which is fine. Donald Trump actually shows them an element

53
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: of respect when he speaks publicly about the regime and

54
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: about the Ayatola, more than I think they deserve, in fact,

55
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: and I think they deserve zero point zero one of

56
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: the bees beep. But he does actually show them a

57
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: fair bit of respect publicly. He'll then go and bomb

58
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 1: their nuclear program. But you know, that's another thing. So

59
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I can under why this regime is not particularly fond

60
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: of the Americans. But what it does go to show

61
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: is that there is no chance of doing any kind

62
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: of deal that is legitimate or fruitful or will give

63
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: anyone anywhere any piece these are not normal people. These

64
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: are not rational people looking at the Savannah Guthrie case

65
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 1: and it's still unsolved. I've just interview an expert. We'll

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 1: put that interview out separately soon. He's incredible, Morgan, right,

67
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: he reconstructs crime scenes and goes through bit by bit.

68
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: What he has to say is mind blowing. So make

69
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: sure you check that out. That's coming out very shortly.

70
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: And finally, before we get to Ambassador Friedman, Lebron, James

71
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: was asked about Denny the player from Israel and the

72
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: All Stars who was amazing, and about Israel itself, and

73
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: of course we all knew what was going to happen,

74
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: But have a look at the question, have a look

75
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: at the answer, and then I'll come back with the

76
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,599
Speaker 1: reaction weas Lee b from John FOURTN in Israel for

77
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: all the Israeli fans, what message would you like to

78
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: send for Israel? And also what do you think about

79
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Denny aftera uh, well.

80
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 4: I've been quoted on Danny already and they asked me

81
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 4: that I thought what I thought about this season? I said,

82
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 4: I believe he was an All Star and uh, I

83
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 4: mean he is an All Star. He's playing you know, exceptional,

84
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: you know basketball, So that's that. And then I mean,

85
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: if if I have fans over there, I've never been there.

86
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 4: If I have fans over there, then you know, I

87
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: hope you have been following my career. I hope I

88
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 4: inspired people over there to not only want to be

89
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 4: great in sports but all once just be better in

90
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 4: general in life. So hopefully someday I can make it

91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: over there. Like I said, I've never been over there,

92
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: but I've heard nothing of great things, and I appreciate, uh,

93
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 4: the question, I appreciate it.

94
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, Okay. So the reaction to that, of course,

95
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: he got absolutely annihilated. Uh. Lebron James faces backlash after

96
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: praising Denny and Israel. Mehdi Hassan, Oh shock me rips

97
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: Lebron Jay over Israel comments at NBA also games. Lebron

98
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: James ignites outrage for controversial Israel comments at All SAR Weekend.

99
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: An open letter to Lebron James on Israel, Gazarin nothing

100
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: but great things, and it goes on and on and on.

101
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: This is what they try and do, by the way,

102
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: this is their modus operande. If you say anything anything

103
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: that's not completely false, hating and negative about Israel. They

104
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: come for you, and this is how they keep the

105
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: majority silent. And you can see when Lebron was asked,

106
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: you could see that he was kind of in his

107
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: head going through a process is it worth it? What

108
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: am I gonna ard it? And I get it. I

109
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: get it because this is what happens. And good on

110
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: him for saying what he did, which wasn't anything insanely

111
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: good by the way, just said I've heard great things.

112
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't been, but I've heard great things

113
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: like so. But they all come down hard now. So

114
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: anyone else who's ever put in that position, who's in

115
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 1: the public eye, who's got some influence, who's a celebrity,

116
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: thinks about this and goes, it's just not worth it.

117
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: It's just not worth it. The mob will come for me.

118
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: It's not worth it. And this is how they win.

119
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,919
Speaker 1: This is how they win. They bully people into silence

120
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and submission. You know what would be great, Just move on.

121
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: That's his take. Let him have it. Advocate strongly for yours,

122
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: go for God, even though it's ridiculous and it's based

123
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: on lies. But this attacking of someone and publicly trying

124
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: to shame them is all about control. Ignore it. What

125
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: Lebron did was amazing, just a very normal response. He

126
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: didn't capitulate. He just said, yeah, heard great. Things haven't

127
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: been there, but don't let the mob win, because this

128
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: is what they do. And someone who would never let

129
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: the mob win. Ambassador David Friedman, it was the ambassador

130
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: United States ambassador to Israel for four or five years,

131
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: was there during the Abraham Accords. And also what he

132
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: says was his greatest moment the moving of the American

133
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: Embassy to Jerusalem. And that's where we get an inside

134
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,880
Speaker 1: look at what it's like to stand in front of

135
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: President Trump and have to put forward a case for

136
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: something that matters against people who feel the complete opposite.

137
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: It is a fascinating insight. He also goes into Tucker Carlson,

138
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Candice Owens, Marjorie Taylor Green talks about what he thinks

139
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: will happen in the Middle East, is peace possible. It's

140
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: a really interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy. Ambassador.

141
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so so much for joining me here on

142
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the Eron Mullinschow. It's such an honor to have you.

143
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 3: It's my pleasure. Erin It's great to see.

144
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: You, you know almost better than anyone, what it's like

145
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: to deal with Israel in the Middle East and the

146
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: US administration, particularly Donald Trump. What are your thoughts, initial

147
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: thoughts watching what's going on recently particularly Let's start with

148
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 1: the situation in Iran.

149
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: Well, you know, you have a on the one hand,

150
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 5: you have a president who has committed to those who

151
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: voted for him that he wouldn't and get the country

152
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 5: into any new wars, and and and and I knowing him, well,

153
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 5: I think I think what he meant were really nothing

154
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,199
Speaker 5: that would be considered you know, offensive or adventurous or

155
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 5: something like that. I don't think he was talking about

156
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 5: the ability of the United States to defend itself. But

157
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 5: that's you know, that's there.

158
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: There.

159
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 5: There are those in the in the in the Party,

160
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 5: in the American population generally, who just don't want to

161
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 5: see American troops, American assets used anywhere. And then you

162
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 5: have the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world

163
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: in Iran on the other side, which has made it

164
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 5: very clear that it not only wants to destroy Israel,

165
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: but to destroy the United States. It is building up

166
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 5: a stockpile of very powerful ballistic missiles, and I should

167
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: say that there most of them are intercontinental ballistic missiles, right,

168
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 5: and people got to focus on the icy part of

169
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: the ICBM, right because intercontinental has nothing to do with Israel.

170
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: You don't need an ICBM to attack Israel, need an

171
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 5: ICBM to reach the United States. So you know, so

172
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 5: there are there are political wins that he's got to

173
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 5: deal with. But at the end of the day, I

174
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 5: know that he is committed not only to make sure

175
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 5: that Iran doesn't threaten in the United States or Israel,

176
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 5: but also to take advantage of an opportunity that exists

177
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 5: today that may not exist in a couple of years,

178
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: which is that Iran is incredibly weak. You know, they

179
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 5: they were weakened enormously by the Twelve Day War. That

180
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: was this spectacular collaboration between Israel and the United States

181
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: where you know, Israel freed up the airspace in the

182
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: United States, threaded a needle with a B two barmer,

183
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 5: destroyed the for the nuclear reactor. I mean, really, I

184
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 5: think one of the best collaborative efforts of any two

185
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 5: countries in the history of warfare. So you have that,

186
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:49,959
Speaker 5: and we know that you know, America is in a

187
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 5: position right now to really put a crushing glove on Iran.

188
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: But they're also.

189
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 5: There also are the politics venturing a war. You know,

190
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 5: it's easy to get into a war and it's not

191
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 5: easy to get out of war. So all those things

192
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 5: that I think are circulating, and the President, I think

193
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 5: he will thread this needle, I think the right way.

194
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: I don't know how.

195
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 5: I think it's evolving, but I think hopefully we'll see

196
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,680
Speaker 5: if there is something that could be done that's non kinetic,

197
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 5: and if not, America still has the power to impose

198
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 5: its will if it needs to.

199
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: You know better than anyone again that there are ways

200
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: to conduct war that don't drag an entire nation in

201
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: in the twelve day War that you just referenced is

202
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: a great example of that. What happened in Venezuela another

203
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 1: great example of not necessarily war, but the US using

204
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: its military might to protect itself. And there's a difference

205
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: between just being bored and thinking let's start some chaos

206
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: and doing something that will inevitably, even if people can't

207
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 1: see it short term, be in the best interest of America.

208
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 1: This regime has bounties out on Donald Trump's head. They

209
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: want him dead. Their own speakers of House in Parliament

210
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: talk about funeral and how they will celebrate this. How

211
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: do you do a deal, ambassador, with people who don't

212
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: see the world like we do, who are not rational,

213
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: who are untrustworthy, who see death and destruction as badges

214
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: of honor.

215
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: Well, I think you answered your own question.

216
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's almost impossible. You do it only

217
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 5: from a position where you're strong and they're afraid. I mean,

218
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 5: that's the only way you can do that. And you know,

219
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 5: President Trump has had this incredibly creative winning streak when

220
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: it comes to warfare, you know, both on the first

221
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: in the first term, in the second, whether it was

222
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 5: killing Cosum Sulimani which set Aridians back tremendously, killing Albugnatti,

223
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: you know who was running Isis as you pointed out,

224
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: you know, pulling you know, Nicholas Maduro out of a

225
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 5: out of a fortress, you know, or as we talked about,

226
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 5: you know, threading the needle and embalming around nuclear reactors

227
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 5: with without any risk to America in the American airmen.

228
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 5: So he's been you know, he has made not just

229
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 5: you know, good choices, but spectacularly good choices. When it

230
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 5: comes to warfare, and I think, I think I'll do

231
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: it again. This is this is complicated because the goals

232
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 5: are the goals are complicated. I mean, the goals are

233
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,239
Speaker 5: not just to make sure that Iran remains the nuclearized.

234
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:31,959
Speaker 5: It's destroying a large stockpile of their ballistic missiles. It

235
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 5: is finding a way if there is a way to

236
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 5: help facilitate regime change, because the poor people are the

237
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 5: Iranian people are not enemies of the United States. I

238
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 5: mean they're they're they're really fighting for their freedom, and

239
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 5: they have a long history of supporting America. They're well

240
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 5: educated people, professional people, business. I mean, these are people

241
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 5: that you know, are just suffering from this this horrible

242
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 5: autocratic regime that if you get rid of the regime,

243
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: Iron could actually be a great ally of the United States.

244
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 5: So a lot of goals here. You want to achieve

245
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 5: as many as he can. You want to you want

246
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: to do more good than harm, right, which is you

247
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 5: know sometimes in war. I mean, if you can just

248
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 5: do more good than harm, you know, you're you're a

249
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 5: big winner, you know. And so there's all those things

250
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: and very complicated, you know, I think we have to

251
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: respect the time he's taking to get to the right decision.

252
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 5: It's not beyond him to engage in discussions just to

253
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 5: kind of feel out and kind of take the measure

254
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 5: of the opposition while he's thinking through, you know, a

255
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 5: more kinetic process. All those things are happening. You know,

256
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: I don't know what is happening in the inside, but

257
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 5: I was there four five years ago, so I know

258
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 5: what's probably happening. And I think we should give him

259
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: the time in the space to make a good decision,

260
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 5: because given enough time in space, he will make I think,

261
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: an excellent decision.

262
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: I want to go back to what it was like

263
00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: for you in those moments and looking at the moving

264
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: of the embassy as well, which you were key part of.

265
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: But before we go to that, you just mentioned the

266
00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: people of Iran not being an enemy of America. And

267
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 1: I made the point in my show yesterday this juxtaposition

268
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: of in the Iranian parliament the Islamic regime chanting death

269
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: to America, Death to America, versus nearly three hundred thousand

270
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: people on the streets when Senator Lindsay Graham got up

271
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: in Munich to speak chanting USA USA, and I said,

272
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: to the people of America, who might say, America first,

273
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: America only, who would you rather have on your side

274
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: in charge of Iran? Given how powerful they are, They've

275
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: got the power to do good or the power to

276
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: do bad. Currently they're doing bad. I'd want the people

277
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: to be have a say in who leads them. They

278
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 1: are on the side of the USA. You're exactly right.

279
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, And the challenges to empower them in a way

280
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: you know that gets them, that restores their leadership of

281
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 5: this once great country. And it's just not so easy.

282
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 5: You know, there are probably a million or so around

283
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: you solutionary guards. They're they're not giving up power. They

284
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 5: all have advanced weaponry. These poor rebels don't. And so

285
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 5: you see, just you know how how brutal the around

286
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: the regime is and what they will do to retain power.

287
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 5: And you know, what do you do from the outside

288
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 5: to make sure that, you know, to change that balance

289
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 5: of power.

290
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 3: It's not easy. I mean, it's just it.

291
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 5: Excuse me, most of these revolutions have really been organic

292
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 5: and have worked internally, and then they don't always end

293
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 5: up where you want them to.

294
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 3: Anyway.

295
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 5: This is you know, really tough stuff to get it right.

296
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 5: And so again time time, unfortunately, is it means more brutality,

297
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 5: So it's it doesn't work well for the for the rebels.

298
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: But I just I just, you know, I just hope

299
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 5: and pray that we get this right. They are really

300
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 5: special people, incredibly courageous. I mean, to go out onto

301
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 5: the streets knowing that your picture is being taken. They're

302
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 5: not wearing masks, you know, they're they're going out into

303
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: the street and they're and they're and they're fighting for

304
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: their lives and their families and the way of lives

305
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 5: that we'd all like them to have. And they know

306
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 5: that there's a decent chance they're going to be shot

307
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: in the back. I mean, so the courage is tremendous.

308
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,120
Speaker 5: I sure hope we find a way to empower them

309
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 5: as much as possible.

310
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: You're so right about the fact they're not wearing masks.

311
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 1: I haven't actually heard that observation made. And again, it's

312
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: not just the risk of what happens to them out

313
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: in the streets. These evil terrorists come and hunt them

314
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: down afterwards, they get their images, they find them. And

315
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: then I juxtapose that with cowards on university campuses, you know,

316
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 1: pro Palestinian Ie pro hamask fully faces covered in a

317
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: country where you actually won't be killed for doing that

318
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: in the irony is not lost in me whatsoever. And Bassard,

319
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how much you can tell us, but

320
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 1: I'd love to understand the process. And President Trump would

321
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 1: have different people advocating for different things in this space,

322
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: which is healthy and robust. And you were part of,

323
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: say the moving of the embassy to Jerusalem. There were

324
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: people within the administration at that time who were of

325
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: the opposing view. How does it work in those scenarios?

326
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: Are you going in and trying to convince him? Are

327
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: you just telling him where you stand? Are you just

328
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: presenting him with information I'd love to get. And I

329
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: know that you can't tell us everything, but some insight

330
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: into that I think it'd be fascinating. We'll get into

331
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: all of that, but first, here's a word from our partner. Now,

332
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: if you were like me and you're tired of random

333
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: stuff getting thrown into your supplements, like artificial colors and sugars,

334
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: you probably would like to know more about phyto nutrition. Yes,

335
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: I had to google too. Let me save you by

336
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: telling you. Phyto nutrients are the naturally occurring plant nutrients

337
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: found in whole foods that give them their color, their taste,

338
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: and their smell. And the presence of these three things

339
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: is a short fire sign you're getting real phyto nutrients now.

00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 5: Well, you know, the embassy is a good example of

354
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 5: how he makes decisions.

355
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:33,439
Speaker 3: You know, I was, I was.

356
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 5: I don't remember why I was there in the Oval

357
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 5: office one day, but it happened just to be there,

358
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 5: and he says, you know, I am getting so much

359
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 5: pressure to both move and not move the embassy.

360
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 3: You have no idea. You know. Every day you know this.

361
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 5: Little you know, it's one embassy out of one hundred

362
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 5: and ninety countries, you know, but every day someone's coming

363
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 5: and telling me. You promise to move the embassy. You

364
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 5: got to do it. Next guy comes in. You know,

365
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 5: you promise to move the embassy. You don't have to

366
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 5: keep that promise, you know. You know, Bush didn't keep

367
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 5: the promise. Clinton didn't keep the promise. You know, Obama

368
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 5: didn't keep the prom You don't have to keep the promise.

369
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 5: Everybody says that it's a campaign gesture. Don't do it,

370
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 5: it's not worth it, and back and forth. I mean,

371
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: I remember I went and met with a congresswoman named

372
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 5: Nita Lowie, who was really one of the authors of

373
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 5: the Jerusalem Embassy Act, you know, the act that was

374
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 5: passed in nineteen ninety five, you know, many years before

375
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 5: the embassy was moved, which which said it was a

376
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 5: bill passed by Congress that proved by the president, that

377
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 5: said that the United States will move this embassy to Jerusalem.

378
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 5: Unless the president will will waive that or something, and

379
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 5: and all the presidents just waived it. You know, this

380
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 5: this law was ignored. And she who was the author

381
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,680
Speaker 5: of the law, when I met with her, she said

382
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 5: to me, don't move the embassy. And this is the

383
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 5: woman who spearheaded, spearheaded the movement. And I said, why not?

384
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,679
Speaker 5: And he says, we don't need it. We don't need

385
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 5: the trouble. We don't need the you know where you know,

386
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 5: it's it's antithetical to peace. We're not gonna We're just

387
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 5: going to you know, make more trouble and make wars.

388
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,040
Speaker 5: And we don't want to do that. So so the

389
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 5: president was hearing, you know, you know, he had promised

390
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 5: during his campaign to move the embassy, and a lot

391
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: of people were hoping that he'd keep his promise. And

392
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 5: then there are a lot of people who were telling

393
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,240
Speaker 5: him not to. So he looks at me and he says, look,

394
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 5: we got I got to make a decision. I mean,

395
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 5: I'm spending way way too much time. You know, as

396
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 5: the president of that his states got bigger, got bigger

397
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,920
Speaker 5: things to do. It they just worry about one embassy.

398
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: We got to we got to come to a decision,

399
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 5: and he said, I'm just having everybody. I'm having it

400
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 5: out today, he says, and you're going to come in.

401
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: I remember he was with General Kelly then, who was

402
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,239
Speaker 5: the chief of Staff, and they were talking about who

403
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 5: should be in the room. And he says, look, I

404
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 5: don't want a big crowd.

405
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 3: David.

406
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 5: You come in and you'll be you'll you'll argue in favor.

407
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 5: And I know that I got you know, I got

408
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 5: Tillerson and Madis. Those are the then Secretary of State

409
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 5: and the Secretary of Defense. I know they were against it.

410
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 5: I'll have them come in and that's and let's just

411
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 5: have it out and and I'll make a decision. And

412
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 5: so we all kind of gathered that evening in the

413
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 5: situation room, and you know, he went to his Secretary

414
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: of State and his Secretary of Defense and he said

415
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 5: to them, guys, you just you let's do this point

416
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 5: by point. You tell me all the points, and after

417
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 5: each point, David, you'll respond and we'll go back and

418
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 5: forth with and I'll make a decision. And we went

419
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 5: We spent about an hour and a half going back

420
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 5: and forth, and you know, it was it was a

421
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 5: really robust conversation got heated sometimes, I mean mostly between

422
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 5: me and the Secretary of State. I was really concerned

423
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 5: going into the meet I have to tell you, because

424
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 5: you know from that from the time that that meeting

425
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 5: was scheduled, which is maybe at eleven o'clock in the morning,

426
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: to the time we got together, which is maybe six

427
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 5: o'clock at night, So I have seven hours to think

428
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: about this, and I am basically being told that I

429
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: am the person who will have to advocate for this

430
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 5: against you know, two people who outranked me many many

431
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 5: times over, you know, secretaries of state being ambassadors all

432
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 5: the time. I mean, it's not a fair fight, right,

433
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 5: So I'm just like thinking, what can I now?

434
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 3: Now.

435
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 5: The truth is, the advantage I had is that I

436
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 5: had seven hours to think about it.

437
00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: These other guys had other things.

438
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 5: Going on during those seven so so but it was really,

439
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 5: you know, a very heated discussion, and at the end

440
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 5: of the day, you know, we went back and forth

441
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 5: and lots of different issues there. Their point basically was,

442
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 5: we don't have to do this. We have a good

443
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 5: relationship with Israel. We'll have a good relationship with or

444
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 5: without moving the embassy. And at the end of the day,

445
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 5: you know, after the President kind of looked at me

446
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: at the end he said, like, wrap it up, give

447
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 5: me your give me the best argument that I said, well, look,

448
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 5: you promised you were going to do this.

449
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 3: The entire world is watching you now. I mean, I

450
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 3: think they know we're having this discussion.

451
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 5: And and the question that everybody's asking is, is Donald Trump,

452
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 5: just like everybody else you know, makes a campaign promise,

453
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: ignores it once he's elected, or is does he keep

454
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 5: his word? And on top of that, if he doesn't

455
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 5: keep his word here, why doesn't he keep his word?

456
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 3: Who's he afraid of? What? Why? Why would he not

457
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 3: keep a promise? You know what? What? What? What? You

458
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: know what players? You know?

459
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 5: What interests are his stake that would cause him not

460
00:23:57,160 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 5: to He's afraid of Jordan, he's afraid of Hamas, he's

461
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 5: afraid of the authority, he's afraid of these countries that

462
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 5: we support that frankly don't don't exist without our support.

463
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 5: And I said him, look, you know, obviously from me,

464
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,239
Speaker 5: I'm the ambassador to Israel, and I care very much

465
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 5: about this and it's usually deeply important for me from

466
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 5: so many perspectives, including you know, my my upbringing as

467
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 5: the son of a rabbi. I said, but but you know,

468
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 5: open up the lends a little bit, and I'll tell

469
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 5: you that what you do here, if you move the

470
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 5: embassy to Jerusalem, that will resonate not just in Jerusalem,

471
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 5: not just in the Jewish world, but it will resonate

472
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 5: in Moscow and piang Yang in North Korea, in Beijing

473
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 5: and ta around all the places that really are trying

474
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 5: to take your measure to see you know, who are you.

475
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 5: They're watching and they're gonna You're going to be able

476
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: to You're going to demonstrate, not just in word, but

477
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 5: indeed that you keep your promises and you're not afraid

478
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 5: of rog nations.

479
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: You're not afraid of rogue actors.

480
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: America will put its embassy where at once in the

481
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 5: capital of in the capital of Israel, Jerusalem, which it

482
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 5: deems to be the capital. America is going to do

483
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 5: what's good for America, and we don't care about these

484
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 5: reorg nations.

485
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 3: And that's a hell of a great message to be sending.

486
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: And his response was, you know, that's of course, that's right,

487
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 5: that's of course right. And as they say, the rest

488
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 5: is history.

489
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 1: How did that feel afterwards, because you had, I mean,

490
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: the weight of the world and for a lot of people,

491
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: that's how heavy this was. That's how much this meant

492
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: to a lot of people. On your shoulders. You went in,

493
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: you delivered. How did it feel walking out? And did

494
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: you know walking out? So he made the decision then

495
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: and there or did you have to wait now?

496
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: He made the decision then and there.

497
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 5: But then, you know, as happens in the world of politics,

498
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 5: all the motions for reconsideration start popping up, and Tillerson

499
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 5: went running back in and the President, you know, to

500
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 5: his credit, said don't talk to me without David, Like

501
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 5: it's not fair, Like, you know, you want to talk

502
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 5: to me behind his back, but you're not going to

503
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 5: do that. So they waited for me to We had

504
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 5: another you know kind of back and forth. It didn't

505
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 5: really change anything.

506
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 3: But then.

507
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:09,879
Speaker 5: There was an interesting, you know, a quandary I had,

508
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 5: which is I could stay put in Washington because he

509
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 5: was he wasn't going to make the announcement for like

510
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 5: five or six days just because of the way his calendar.

511
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: Was working out.

512
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 5: So I could spend five or six days waiting for

513
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 5: him to make that out and stay put make sure

514
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 5: that you know, if somebody tried to sneak in, I

515
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,080
Speaker 5: would I would be able to or but then but

516
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 5: then I would I would run the risk of being

517
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 5: in America when the announcement was made, and I was afraid.

518
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: I didn't think there would be any violence. I really didn't,

519
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 5: but I thought, you know, God forbid, if there's some violence,

520
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 5: you know, I want to be there. I want to

521
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 5: kind of put my money where my mouth is. I

522
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 5: don't want to be hiding back at America while I'm

523
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: involved in a decision that could cause violence in the

524
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: Middle Eat. So I wanted to get back. So I

525
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 5: got I went back, and every day I got a

526
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 5: call from somebody saying, you know, people were trying to

527
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 5: change his mind. They see you're back in Israel. They're trying.

528
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 5: And so I was on the phone every day and

529
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 5: I and you know, I was, look, you know, I

530
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 5: have to say, I, you know, well, I try to

531
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 5: keep my my you know, my my religious beliefs out

532
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 5: of government service.

533
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 3: You know, they're they're they're really personal.

534
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 5: And I, you know, I don't see America as being

535
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 5: a nation that should drive its policies off off of

536
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 5: religious beliefs. But boy, so he felt the you know

537
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 5: the weight of history and and and the importance. So look,

538
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 5: you know, in our faith, the temple was destroyed in

539
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 5: roughly the year you know, seventy, right, So it's been

540
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 5: about two thousand years that Jerusalem had been you know,

541
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: temple listening without not being the capital of Israel, not

542
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 5: being recognized. And during those two thousand years, Jewish people

543
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 5: have been saying the same prayer every day, three times

544
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 5: a day, for two thousand years, asking that God should

545
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 5: restore us to Jerusalem. That's it, just you know, we

546
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 5: you know, it's it's it's it's in every branch of Judaism.

547
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: I went and checked every prayer book from every different

548
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 5: you know, Reform Jews, Orthodox Jews, Conservative Jews, so FARIDERCT Jews.

549
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 5: They all say this prayer for two thousand years, I mean,

550
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 5: for as long as they've been around, to have to

551
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 5: be restored, you know.

552
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 3: Restore our capital in Jerusalem.

553
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 5: And here I am, you know, in a room with

554
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 5: the ability to have you know, I mean, the president

555
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 5: did not make Jerusalm the capital of Israel. You know,

556
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 5: God made Jewisrom the capital of Israel. The Jewish people

557
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 5: made Jerusalm the capital of Israel. But for the most

558
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 5: powerful nation in the world to recognize Jerusalem is Israel's

559
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 5: capital at a point when no other nation had ever

560
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 5: done it before. So to get to that point was

561
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 5: it to me was so deeply spiritually moving that I

562
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 5: kind of couldn't I couldn't excize it from my thought process.

563
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: I understand that absolutely, and talking about faith something that

564
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: has fired you up. Recently, we look at Tucker Carlson,

565
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: who I mean, he started by hosting the noun with

566
00:28:55,560 --> 00:29:00,239
Speaker 1: the Mustache talking about how badly Israel traits Christians kind

567
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: of snowballed from there. Marjorie ler Green has now jumped

568
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: in and talking about how horrific the plight of Christians

569
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: is in Israel, and I mean, she's completely confused. As

570
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: you pointed out, Can you explain to me your perspective,

571
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: having been an ambassador, having lived there for years and

572
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: years seeing firsthand, why a why you think they're trying

573
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: to prosecute this particular fallacy and be what this reality

574
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 1: is on the ground.

575
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 5: Well, the votive is obviously, there's only fifteen million Jews

576
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 5: in the world. There's only five million Jews in America.

577
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 5: You know, we are as a political dynamic, essentially powerless.

578
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 5: But we have these incredible friends in the call called Christians,

579
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 5: you know, and a lot of them are Evangelical, and

580
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 5: there's you know, in America, that's the largest voting block

581
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: in the United States. And some of them are not Evangelic,

582
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 5: but they're you know, Christians of other persuasions, Catholics, and

583
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 5: you know, I'm not an expert in all the different

584
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 5: streams Mormons, there's a lot of different There's a lot

585
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: of Christians that really love Israel and love the Jewish people,

586
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: and they want to break that. They want to break

587
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 5: that relationship, and they feel the best way to break

588
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 5: that relationship is to say, why do you love Israel?

589
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: Christians are treated terribly there. This is there, this is

590
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:24,240
Speaker 3: the idea.

591
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 5: And anyhow, for the vast majority of Christians who don't

592
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: get to Israel or don't get there very often, it

593
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 5: caused them to think, really, wow, we thought Israel, you know,

594
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 5: it was good for Christians, and now we're being told

595
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 5: that they discriminated against Christians. Christians are being massacred, they're

596
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 5: being they're not allowed to worship. So it's a very dangerous,

597
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: powerful and entirely false accusation that is designed entirely to

598
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 5: destroy whatever political influence Jews might have in the United

599
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: States or whatever influenced the pro Israel community might have

600
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 5: had in the United States. They want to get rid

601
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 5: of that. That's that's the goal. Now what do they do.

602
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: They choose Bethlehem because everybody knows that. You know, Jesus

603
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 5: was born in Bethlehem. So if Christians are treated poorly

604
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: in Bethlehem, that's you know, exhibit A to their argument

605
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 5: that israel Is is hostile to Christians. Okay, big problem, big, big,

606
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 5: big problem with that argument. Israel doesn't control Bethlehem. You know,

607
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 5: Israel doesn't control Bethlene. Bethlehem is in a place called

608
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 5: Area A, which was established in nineteen ninety four under

609
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 5: the Oslo Cords. Area A is a place where Israelis

610
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 5: are not allowed to go by the way, not just

611
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 5: because the palistin and authority won't let him in, but

612
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,400
Speaker 5: because the Israeli governments won't let Israelis go in because

613
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 5: once they get in, they typically get get shot or

614
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 5: killed or murdered, and Israel can't get him out because

615
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 5: the Israeli army is not allowed to operate inside of

616
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: area a so so it's controlled by the Palistinian authority.

617
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 5: Palestin authority is a Muslim authority, entirely Muslim, and it

618
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 5: is the most corrupt organization in the world. Mahmud Abas,

619
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 5: who runs it, was elected twenty years ago for a four.

620
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: Years twentieth year of his fourth year term. What a hero.

621
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, he will not permit elections. So he's sixteen

622
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 5: years past his due date, right, and he's running the

623
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 5: and he only you know, he only favors those that

624
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 5: you know, that can aid in his kind of corrupt

625
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 5: and debris, very wealthy.

626
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 3: You know.

627
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 5: I used to tell the president this was this isn't

628
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 5: true anymore now that Israel has a presidential or a

629
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 5: prime minister plane.

630
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 3: But in the old days, when I was, you know, eight.

631
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 5: Years ago, Muhamad A Bass used to fly around on

632
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: a seventy five million dollar jet wherever he went. And

633
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 5: then Tanyao used to fly, you know, on a commercial airliner,

634
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 5: you know, when he used to travel in. Israel's got

635
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: a you know, got a you know, almost a trillion

636
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: dollar economy in the pas broke. You know, so this

637
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 5: is this is kind of sets up there, you know,

638
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 5: sizes up the difference. So the you know, Bethlehem is

639
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 5: controlled by a corrupt, brutal Muslim regime. And as a result,

640
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 5: you know, over the last twenty thirty years, Bethlehem, which

641
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,719
Speaker 5: had been eighty percent Christian and twenty percent Muslim, became

642
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 5: eighty percent Muslim and twenty percent Christian. And I can

643
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 5: tell you look when I you know, I've been going

644
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 5: to Israel since I was bar Midfitt in nineteen seventy one.

645
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 5: We used to go to Bethlum all the time.

646
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: I used to go. I used to go Christmas Eve.

647
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 5: I'm not Christian, but the pageantry, the beauty of it,

648
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 5: before the PA took over, it was spectacular.

649
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 3: Israel used to love.

650
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 5: I mean, Israelis used to go to the East because

651
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 5: it was it was an event, you know, to watch,

652
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 5: you know, Christmas Eve and Bethleem was televised all around

653
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 5: the world.

654
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 3: Now you compare that to a place like Nazareth.

655
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,880
Speaker 5: Right, you know, we refer to Jesus as being Jesus

656
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 5: of Nazareth. Right, Nazareth is part of Israel. It's not

657
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 5: run by the Palacini authority. It's part of Israel. I've

658
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 5: been there, are lots of times. First of all, they

659
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 5: have they have the largest Christmas tree in the Middle East.

660
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:05,480
Speaker 5: You know, it's this big, beautiful, massive Christmas tree. It's

661
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 5: like as big as the one in Rockefeller Center. And

662
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 5: they have a high tech hub there. They have some

663
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 5: some very large Israeli philanthropists have built uh you know,

664
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 5: laboratories there for the for the Arab community. It's really

665
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 5: kind of the kind of the intellectual hub of the

666
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 5: of the Arab world. And and it's full of Christians.

667
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,879
Speaker 5: And and the thing that people don't get is that

668
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 5: Christian Arabs in Israel of any ethnic group, have the

669
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,320
Speaker 5: highest standard of living, higher than Jews, you know what

670
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 5: I mean.

671
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 3: They they they.

672
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: Are, they are beloved, welcomed and successful. And and by

673
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 5: the way, Muslim Arabs as well. You know, I have

674
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 5: a dear friend who for a number of years was

675
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 5: the chairman of Montgloomy.

676
00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 3: Is the largest bank in Israel.

677
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 5: He is a Muslim Arab, you know, he's and he's

678
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 5: heading running the biggest bank in Israel. So this is

679
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 5: all like, you know, this is all just taking advantage

680
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 5: of people's ignorance. And you know, they're not ignorant intentionally,

681
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 5: it's it's it's six thousand miles away. It's a difficult trip.

682
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 5: You know, it's not on everybody's curriculum in terms of

683
00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 5: what they study. So they're taking advantage of that. And

684
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 5: Tucker Cross and Candas Owens and you know whoever else,

685
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 5: Marjorie Taylor Green's few this stuff. They're just making stuff

686
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 5: up and and and it's and they're doing it because

687
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,720
Speaker 5: it's resonating, because this idea that you know, like anti

688
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 5: Semitism is, you know, it's it's always kind of lurking

689
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 5: underneath and you need sometimes sometimes events over the years,

690
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 5: you know, pull it out, like you know, you know

691
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 5: that when when when Captain Dreyfus was accused of treason

692
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,640
Speaker 5: in France and Theaterrehearzel was was watching all of a sudden,

693
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 5: you know, kill dryf Is, kill all the Jews? Yeah,

694
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 5: what kill all the Jews? Come from all of a sudden,

695
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 5: you know, from one guy. So we have you know,

696
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 5: we you know, we have our drivers today, you know,

697
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 5: we have we have the war. We have Jeffrey Epstein, who,

698
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 5: by the way, hated Israel, you know, had had was

699
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 5: was was had nothing, there's nothing about him that was

700
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,440
Speaker 5: Jewish didn't observe Judaism, didn't practice us. By the way,

701
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 5: I thought of this the other day, I just if

702
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 5: you don't mind me jumping in on this. You know,

703
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 5: everybody says, you know, when people say, you know, you

704
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 5: can be anti Zionist without being anti Semitic, they say, look,

705
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 5: Judaism is just the religion. It's not an it's not

706
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 5: a nationality. So you know, we're not We're not against

707
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 5: the religion, We're just against the nation. It shouldn't be

708
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 5: considered a nation. Okay, that's very interesting. Jeffrey Epstein, Right,

709
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 5: he's not a Jew. He's not a Jew under that

710
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 5: standard because there's nothing about him that identifies with Israel.

711
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 5: I think one of his emails says, I hate Israel. Right,

712
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 5: there's nothing about him that is religious at all. He

713
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 5: doesn't in any way accept the Jewish faith. But when

714
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:55,919
Speaker 5: it comes to anti Sebbaitism, he's a Jew.

715
00:36:56,239 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 3: Right.

716
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: Also tried to work with a former minister, didn't it

717
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: the only real connection in trying to essentially it was

718
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,720
Speaker 1: his only connection borough Israel.

719
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, his only connection was with Avid Barak, who has

720
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,200
Speaker 5: not been in politics for many, many years, has no

721
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 5: influence in Israel. It actually is the uh kind of

722
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 5: the main political antagonist of the Tanyahu So you know,

723
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 5: they're there. They that was the only connection anyway. It's

724
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 5: all that stuff is really unfortunate because you know, as

725
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 5: you know, and you had the courage, uh, you know,

726
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 5: you had the courage to point that out early on

727
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 5: and in a hostile environment.

728
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't want to I want to.

729
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,479
Speaker 5: Make sure that this audience understands just how much people

730
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 5: appreciate your courage and your your clarity willing be willing

731
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 5: to stand up to you know, to these forces when

732
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 5: they weren't threatening you at all. I mean, you're you're

733
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:56,200
Speaker 5: a you know, beautiful blonde gentile. You know, you know, nobody's,

734
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 5: nobody's coming after you. That no one, no one was

735
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 5: coming after you. Then now maybe they are, but but

736
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 5: you could you could have just done you know, opinion

737
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 5: shows on all kinds of other stuff and stayed out

738
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 5: of this. And as many as many people have, many

739
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 5: many people have, including several several you know blonde uh

740
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 5: news news newspeople in America, We'll mentioned names. And you

741
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 5: could have you could have stayed out of it. You didn't.

742
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 5: And not only did you, you know, make the case

743
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 5: so eloquently for for Israel and against anti Semitism. But

744
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 5: I think you gave many of us, myself included, just

745
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 5: a feeling that we weren't alone, and that was maybe

746
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 5: more important than anything.

747
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: That's really beautifully put. And I thank you for it.

748
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful. And again I say how ridiculous it

749
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,880
Speaker 1: is that it should be considered special that I decided

750
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: to say what I felt, what I observed, tell the

751
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:56,200
Speaker 1: truth essentially, and that that should be considered something to

752
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 1: be worthy of thanks shows how insane the world is.

753
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: But I appreciate it so so much, and I thank you, ambassador.

754
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: Looking ahead, we look at the situation now. We're told

755
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,280
Speaker 1: there is peace in the Middle East, the Palestinian authority,

756
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: and you explained that so well when it came to Bethlehem.

757
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,360
Speaker 1: Also the people who pay money to those Hamas fighters

758
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 1: who kill Jews and kill anyone essentially, so they are

759
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: as corrupt as they come, and they are as evil

760
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: and vile as they come. Do you see there being peace?

761
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: Do you see this point plan that the President and

762
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 1: others have come up with actually coming into fruition. Do

763
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: you see a gaza that is thriving one day. What

764
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 1: do you think the next five years looks like?

765
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 5: Well, look, I would I would quote call them a

766
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,960
Speaker 5: year who said that there will only be peace with

767
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 5: the Arabs when they love their children more than they

768
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 5: hate hours. And they're not there yet. They're not there yet.

769
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 5: Will they get there? I mean the theory is that

770
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 5: that if they have more skin in the game, you know,

771
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 5: if they have more of a life, if they've got

772
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 5: more of a sense of you know, human dignity, that

773
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 5: that that this will change.

774
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 3: We don't know, we don't know if that's going to

775
00:40:14,200 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 3: happen or not.

776
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 5: Uh, you know, I'm I'm you know, I'm kind of

777
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 5: I've been through this too for too long and too

778
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 5: many times, and been up front, you know with those

779
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 5: who want to kill us. To believe that there's an

780
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,360
Speaker 5: easy fix that you can kind of turn a button

781
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 5: or flick a switch. Let's let's first see whether Hamask

782
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 5: gives up their arms. Uh, They're they're saying not only

783
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 5: they're saying that they won't do it, but they're saying

784
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 5: that no one's asked them to do it. I don't

785
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 5: believe that, but but I mean, they can read the

786
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 5: same twenty point plan that that that anybody else can

787
00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 5: we really need a major, major transformation.

788
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 3: They're not there.

789
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 5: There's you know, way back when you know, like you

790
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 5: know what you think about Palestinians, you know, and people

791
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 5: mistakenly think, well, this is some very you know, ancient

792
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 5: people that's fighting for their you know, historical rights.

793
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 3: They got that wrong.

794
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 5: I mean Palestine, you know was was was.

795
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: A place without borders.

796
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 5: Nobody nobody ever assigned it borders before nineteen forty eight

797
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 5: because nobody cared about it. Nobody, nobody, nobody was claiming it.

798
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 5: You know, it was just a place that was controlled,

799
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,480
Speaker 5: you know, first by the Romans, who named it Palestine

800
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:38,479
Speaker 5: just to kind of kind of put the last last

801
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,879
Speaker 5: dagger in the in Jewish nationality by naming it after

802
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 5: the Philistines, you know, who were the biblical enemies of

803
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 5: the Jewish people. So I went from the Romans to

804
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 5: a bunch of Muslim marauders, ultimately to the Ottoman Empire,

805
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 5: to the to the British Mandate, and nobody really cared

806
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 5: about it.

807
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: It was a back order.

808
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 5: You read Mark Twain or Elysses Grant. I mean they

809
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 5: visited and said this is there's nobody here. There's nobody here,

810
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 5: no one's no one's doing any And it was only

811
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 5: and and Palestine was occupied in those days by Jews

812
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,920
Speaker 5: and by Arabs. You know, you could be a Palestinian Jew,

813
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 5: you could be a Palestinian Arab. And then as soon

814
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 5: as you know, the state of Israel was named, you know,

815
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:18,560
Speaker 5: within a section of Palestine, you know, the the Arabs said, well,

816
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 5: you know, let's we got a great brand here. Let's

817
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 5: brand ourselves Palestinians, right, even though Palestinian would never never

818
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 5: meant the Arab. It meant, you know, whoever lived there

819
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,279
Speaker 5: and could have been a Jew, they branded themselves. They

820
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 5: you know, Arafact came along, you know, pulled off this

821
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 5: spectacular public relations stunt and and basically extorted all his

822
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 5: neighbors and all the kind of relatively stable countries to say, look,

823
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 5: you give me money or I'm going to destroy your streets.

824
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:48,479
Speaker 5: I'm gonna you know, I'm going I'm going to own

825
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 5: the Jew hatred business. I'm going to own the anti

826
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 5: Israel business. And that business is powerful, and I can

827
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 5: make every one of your streets go a flame unless

828
00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 5: you give me money. So we extorted everybody and that's

829
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 5: what this is a little bit about extortion.

830
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 3: From the beginning.

831
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 5: They're aready you know, back when they were divving up,

832
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 5: you know, Palestine, and you know, in in nineteen twenty,

833
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 5: seventy two percent of it was given to Jordan. You know,

834
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 5: I mean, Jordan is a Palestinian state. It's comprised of

835
00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,439
Speaker 5: seventy two percent of Palestine. There's no need for another

836
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 5: Palestinian state. But you know, again this is this is

837
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 5: the absence of you know, kind of basic education on

838
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 5: how we got here is lacking everywhere. I mean, nobody really,

839
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 5: nobody really gets it, you know, I mean people talk

840
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 5: about you know, you know, I've been a Palestinian for

841
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 5: fifty generations or twenty.

842
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 3: You can't be It's not possible.

843
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,879
Speaker 5: And or you know, the great, the great lie that

844
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 5: you know, Jerusalem is holy to Christians and to Muslims,

845
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 5: but not to Jews. If it's holy to Christians, it's

846
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 5: only holy to Christians because of Jesus presence there. And

847
00:43:58,200 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 5: when Jesus was there, he was Jewish. He lives his

848
00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 5: whole life as a Jew. It can't be holy to

849
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,719
Speaker 5: Christians not be holy to Jews. So these are kind

850
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 5: of basic things that you know, we fight every day,

851
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 5: but you know where there is a fire hose of

852
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:17,799
Speaker 5: misinformation that's incredibly well funded. You know, I'm sure you've

853
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 5: done shows on this about all the money that's flowing

854
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 5: into all the universities from people from countries that are

855
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 5: enemies of Israel. Yeah, you can't contenure at an American

856
00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 5: university if you're pro Isan. It can't contenure. Like, there's

857
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 5: no point in trying to be pro Israel because you

858
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 5: won't succeed. So it's this is a real uphill climate,

859
00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 5: and you know, thank God for people like you that

860
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 5: are We're making it. We're making a stab at it.

861
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: Trying to fight back sometimes feels completely fruitless. But I think,

862
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: how has the world ever been changed? It's by individuals,

863
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 1: isn't it? One on one sometimes one on one changing

864
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: the minds and hearts and educating as you just did.

865
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,319
Speaker 1: So simple. But so many of those who take to

866
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: the streets alongside her mass flags in Western nations have

867
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 1: no idea a very basic history, so thank you for

868
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 1: helping well.

869
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 5: Also also they have no idea, you know, what their

870
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 5: lives would be like if they lived under a mass

871
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 5: ule in case regards are women's. You know, women would

872
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 5: be subjugated. I saw the other day, you know, at

873
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 5: the All Star Game, the NBA All Star Game. You know,

874
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 5: Spike Lee is there and wearing a kafa. Now, if

875
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 5: Spike Lee lived in one of these countries, you know,

876
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 5: he would be.

877
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 3: Like a fourth class citizen.

878
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 5: I mean, the only people they hate more than Jews

879
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 5: or African Americans.

880
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 3: They consider them slaves to this day. So you know.

881
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 1: It's not only I mean it's it's dangerous, and it's tacky,

882
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's all those things, but it's embarrassingly stupid.

883
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: That would be the number one way in which I

884
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,919
Speaker 1: would describe what he did. Not to mention, of course,

885
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: there was an Israeli for the first time playing, which

886
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 1: was incredible, Denny. Whether that or not contributed to what

887
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: he was doing, I suspect so. But you know history

888
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 1: will judge them when an ambassador, and judge them very poorly.

889
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 3: Yep, yep, I agree.

890
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,600
Speaker 1: Bless you. Thank you so so much for joining us.

891
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 1: It's been such an honor having you on, and such

892
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: an honor to meet you and your wife at the

893
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,719
Speaker 1: Witsow event as well. Yeah, the honor was mine and

894
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 1: I thank you so so much for greeing to come

895
00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: on and giving us some of your very valuable time.

896
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 5: Well, the honor is mine as well. I think you

897
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 5: know we will rise your full with the help of

898
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 5: people like you. Hopefully you can convince you know, ten

899
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 5: more of your influential friends to join this. But please

900
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 5: keep doing what you're doing. It's so important. And again

901
00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:49,400
Speaker 5: you give enormous hope and comfort to the Jewish people,

902
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 5: to the citizens of Israel, because, as I said, sometimes

903
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 5: we really feel like we're alone, and when you pop up,

904
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 5: we don't feel that way anymore.

905
00:46:57,120 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: So thanks again, Eric, and I'll be there for the

906
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: rest of my life life and it's an honor and

907
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: a privilege to stand alongside you, and I say that

908
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: very genuinely, say.

909
00:47:04,480 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you, thanks pleasure.

910
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 1: He's an incredible man, has been an incredible diplomat for many,

911
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: many years and continues to speak publicly about things that

912
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 1: he deeply cares about. So we thank him so much

913
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:17,920
Speaker 1: for his time. And I want to just bring you

914
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: one bit of fan feedback, and this was off the

915
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: back of my piece on Candace Owens yesterday, and I

916
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: said to you, guys, you might be thinking, well, you're

917
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 1: telling us to ignore, but you're talking about her. And

918
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,799
Speaker 1: I made the point that whilst so many millions are

919
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:32,200
Speaker 1: exposed to what she's doing, there needs to be a

920
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,920
Speaker 1: counter to that. The less people that watch her and

921
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: absorb her and listen, the less we can have to

922
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: cover it, because it means it won't be a big

923
00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: enough issue to actually give any more airtime. Too. But

924
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: at the moment, too many young people in particular are

925
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: listening to it and watching it. And I got this

926
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: incredible note from this wonderful woman. I'll keep her identity private.

927
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: She said, thank you for posting that about Candace. My

928
00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,400
Speaker 1: twelve year old daughter just shared with me a video

929
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: by Candace, and I was devastated she actually saw some

930
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: of Candace's vile content. I immediately began attempting to course correct.

931
00:48:06,160 --> 00:48:09,080
Speaker 1: I came upon your video about an hour later and

932
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: we watched it together. Bless you. Thank you so so

933
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: much for that, and that just reassures us that this

934
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: isn't wasted, these attempts to expose her for what she is.

935
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:23,160
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that you and your daughter got

936
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 1: to watch that together, and hopefully your daughter sees why

937
00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: Candice does what she does not because it's based on

938
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: truth or because it's the right thing to do, but

939
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: because it is a cheap money grab, it is for clickbait,

940
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 1: and it's pure evil in so many different ways. So

941
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,399
Speaker 1: I thank you so much for reassuring us that by

942
00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 1: covering it right now, we are doing the right thing.

943
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: And again, the second that she becomes someone who is

944
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: not influencing the masses, I would be happy to never

945
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:52,839
Speaker 1: say her name again. Love you all have a great

946
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 1: next few days. Albeit Marra Lago interviewing Donald Trump Junior

947
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: and Eric Trump really excited about that, and Daniel Lobe

948
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: and Philippe Felipe Lafonte both billionaires, super successful. Hopefully some

949
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: of that rubs off. We will see. Let's love see Zoon,

950
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 1: Bye bye,
