Oh what about 33 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: January sixth? What about yesterday? Can we at least note it? 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: Can it be said? Can it be discussed? We're gonna 35 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: somehow think it doesn't happen. It never happens. Oh, it's 36 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: no big deal, It's a one off. No, You've been 37 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: telling people on the political left that ice is an abomination, 38 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 1: and ice is a danger, and that ice is a 39 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: threat to liberty, and Ice is doing this. You're shooting 40 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: at ice ating and you're trying to set buildings on fire. 41 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: This doesn't end now. The report from the Secretary of 42 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: State and the Department of State regarding Cuba proves this. 43 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 2: But we'll get to that in a moment. 44 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: But let me bring it back to the president and 45 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: the leader of Lebanon there, because this is you know, 46 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: Trump's gonna get into a presser. 47 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 2: You know, I love that stuff. Oh my gosh, Lord 48 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 2: only knows what he's gonna say. 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: But everyone forgets the levels to which President Trump is 50 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: recreating the opportunities with the Middle East. You do not 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: have a president. You don't have one that has been able. 52 00:02:58,680 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 2: To do this. 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 1: I think Clinton tried to do with Arafat, which certainly 54 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 1: can be discussed, doesn't come close to the total rethink 55 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: of how do we do away with the insanity and 56 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: just go about living our lives, nobody getting bombed, and 57 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of trade. Trump's true legacy is 58 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: not the court. It's here right here, but back to 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: the president. 60 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 3: We're going to help it a lot. So it's an 61 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: honor to have the President and your representatives here. We've 62 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: already met a couple of times and we've had some 63 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 3: good meetings, and we are going to solve a lot 64 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 3: of problems. We've already solved some of them for Lebanon, 65 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 3: as you know, there's a Hesbula problem. But we've done 66 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: some things that I think the world will take notice again. 67 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 2: It's been a very badly treated. 68 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: Place and country, and we're going to have it properly 69 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: treated and treated with respect. That it deserves. And mister president, 70 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: it's an honor. Thank you very much. 71 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: Mother, Oh, thank you, thank you. 72 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: I'll be looking forward this. 73 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: Visit for a long time. 74 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 5: Thank you me being such a great president like yourself. 75 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: That's a very nice thing. 76 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 2: See, he knows how to get to me. You can 77 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: now he can have anything. Would you like to say that? 78 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: No, note the English note that the Lebanese president is 79 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: speaking English, that he wants to connect in every way 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: possible because the opportunity for transformation is here. They can 81 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: hate Trump all they want. Guys, it doesn't matter to 82 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: you or me. There are things that Trump does that 83 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: I don't like. There are things that Trump does drives 84 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: me for cock to crazy. And you maybe as well. 85 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you're down with everything. 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: I don't know. 87 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Maybe you're down with none of it, absolutely none of it. 88 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: It is not deniable. Doesn't matter what they say what 89 00:04:53,720 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: he has done here. This this is because Trump the 90 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: first term brought about the Abraham Accords and had an 91 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: entire rethink and allowed the region to have a rethink 92 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: on how they interact with each other. The Lebanie is 93 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: president in the OBA. I'm not saying it doesn't happened 94 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: before I'm saying it's a moment. 95 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 4: Really, I would like to send President Trump really and 96 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 4: his team for the historic visit and for the. 97 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 5: Historic achievement that we did together by signing the framework 98 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 5: with the ultimate objective offending the state of austility between 99 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 5: Lebanon and Israel forever. 100 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 4: I think mister President is with me. Your legacy together 101 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 4: would be able to achieve this objective. It's about time 102 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 4: for Lebanon and for the whole region to be stable 103 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: and secure. And I know Eurovision this peace. Eurovision is stability, 104 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 4: and they think my vision.

But there's nothing he said right there that 113 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: would make you say, oh, this is a radical, this 114 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: is the guy that you want, at least from that 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: statement right there, Okay, that he has fought terrorist groups. 116 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: Born to a Maronite Christian family, what's possible now? They 117 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: can hate all they want, we need to dismiss that. 118 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: What is possible? What is the deal? In all cases 119 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: and in all ways, the deal is ending the terrorist 120 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: regime that is the Iranians. That's what the people of 121 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 1: Lebanon have been dealing with. They have been dealing with 122 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: these terrorists has Bela funded by Arond. They have lived 123 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 1: in hell for years and have had to deal with 124 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: Israel bombing the living snot out of them, because that's 125 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,680 Speaker 1: the only way to take out the terrorists that are 126 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: bombing the living snot out of them. And to the UN, 127 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: the UN had an opportunity and they made this statement, 128 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: We're not going to allow in this area of Lebanon. 129 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: You're not allowed to do this. You can't have that 130 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: much of that, and then they all look the other 131 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 1: way and Hesblo refortified. Oh, all of the UN directives 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: in the world didn't mean a damn thing, mainly because 133 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: the UN has been very, very supportive. 134 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 2: Of despots and terrorists. 135 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: Just look at the UNRWA, the Relief's Work Agency for 136 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: Palestinian refugees. They were aiding Hamas in going after Israelies. 137 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: The rethink the change here is that one guy, one 138 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: guy said we can do this better. You know how 139 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: much of a role the UN has played and reshaping 140 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 1: the Middle East? 141 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: Zero? 142 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: To quote Mark Bauman, the Big short zero. The UN 143 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: has had no role. 144 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 2: All of this. 145 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 1: Ooh, we need to have a coalition of the willing. Oh, 146 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: we need to bring nations together. Nope, you just had 147 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: to try. You just had to give a rethink. No. 148 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,840 Speaker 2: Is it gonna stop people from being haters of Israel? No? 149 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: Is it gonna stop people from not trusting each other? 150 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 5: No? 151 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: Are you gonna have skirmishes along the way, Yes, yes 152 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 2: you are. 153 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: But if you get rid of the terrorist threat and 154 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: you start having trade between nations, I mean, this is 155 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: just Milton Friedman won a one. At this stage of 156 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: the game, you have much less of those other things. 157 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: And if you take a look at the whole region 158 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 1: right now, sorry Mehdi Hassan and Hassan Piker and all 159 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: the rest of the freaks, at the Young Turks and 160 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: anywhere else, if the Iranian regime didn't exist, we wouldn't 161 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,920 Speaker 1: be having any of these conversations because things would already 162 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: be better if the Iranian regime didn't exist. 163 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: We'd all be fine. 164 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: If Israel didn't exist, you'd still have these problems. Sorry, suckers. 165 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: Facts are facts, and you're on the wrong end of everything. 166 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: It's got to be embarrassing to be you and the 167 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 1: cracks that are forming all over the left, all the 168 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: people realizing that this talk of Israel's genocidal nation is 169 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: such a bunch of crap. The Brett Stevens interview on 170 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: the Fifth Column podcast Crushing It.

There Israel's committing genocide on Gaza, 173 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: but providing polio vaccines. Everybody with a brain knows that 174 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 1: that whole thing is freaking stupid. It's just a bunch 175 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 1: of bigots and haters and losers who are We're desperate 176 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: to win the game of being biggest haters and losers. 177 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,359 Speaker 2: And then there's the Lebanese people saying, what in the world, 178 00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 2: What in the world is this? Can't we just you know, 179 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 2: trade and be cool. 180 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 3: Oh? 181 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,599 Speaker 1: And then there's this this, this just showed up in 182 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: my chat room. We had no enemies in the Middle 183 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: East before Israel existed. Tell that to Jefferson and Washington 184 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: from the halls of Montezuma to the shorts of Tripoli. 185 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 2: Sure. Sure, the Barbary pirates. 186 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: The number is one and a half million US and 187 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: British sailors that were kidnapped and forced into slavery. 188 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 2: You're right, you're right, you're right. I didn't in the 189 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: whole area. 190 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 1: I know I'm a little more towards on the African tip, 191 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: but you get my point. 192 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 2: You're right. The Muslims never engaged in any conquest. No, no, 193 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 2: everything was fine. Impeach. It's embarrassing that some people have 194 00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 2: never read a book. 195 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 1: It's embarrassing. You know what, Maybe we gotta start doing that. 196 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: Maybe we got to just start doing weekly history lessons 197 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 1: on the show. 198 00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 2: I'd be down for that. We can find some worthwhile 199 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 2: history professors. 200 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: No, no, no, none, Colombia history professors, people who actually 201 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 1: know history. 202 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 2: We could start doing history one on one. 203 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: Actually, it's not a bad idea at all. That is 204 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 1: not a bad idea at all. We're gonna get into 205 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: the Q and A of the president taking questions there 206 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: while in the oval office. But don't forget, we're not 207 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: discussing levels of perfection. You want to talk about issues 208 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: with Israel or things they've done wrong. There's a book 209 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: to be written somewhere, but all the instigation is because 210 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: of the Islamists of Iran. Get rid of the Islamists 211 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: of Iran. Nothing can be perfect because nothing is perfect. 212 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: The human condition is what it is. But everything will 213 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,000 Speaker 1: be pretty cool, maybe as cool as you can do. 214 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 2: Keep it here. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today. 215 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 1: So the President is in the Oval Office with the 216 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: President of Lebanon, and he does what he does. He's 217 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 1: taking questions. Tony Katz, Tony Katz today. This happened just 218 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 1: a little while ago, and I just wanted to just 219 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 1: wanted to share it because whenever there's questions, there's always 220 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 1: a good time to be had. You can't you never 221 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get on. 222 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 6: I have two questions. One for you, President Trump, as 223 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 6: you were to extend abram course, Lebanon still enforce the 224 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 6: pay nineteen fifty five ocimilizing contact for over seventy years. 225 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 6: You previously stated you will push Lebanon on decision and 226 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 6: deep there's some people still going to prison last month, 227 00:12:58,360 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 6: So did. 228 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 2: You NAIs it with you? Wills? 229 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 3: Well, the Abraham Acurds have been I think a tremendous success. 230 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 3: I think you're going to see a lot of countries 231 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 3: joining pretty soon. 232 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: As you know, we have. 233 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,119 Speaker 3: Our original group and it's so successful for them economically successful. 234 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: It's been that nobody left even during this time of conflict. 235 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 3: So no, I think Lebanon has a very important place. 236 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: You'll notice he doesn't answer the question, which is really 237 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:34,160 Speaker 1: about rights in Lebanon. So if we are all honest 238 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: and clear, clear eyed with each other, we cannot expect 239 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: any nation to be the United States when it comes 240 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: to free speech, when it comes to gun rights, when 241 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: it comes to a host of things. What we should 242 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: want is for a nation to be tolerable. I can't 243 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: convince people, no matter how hard I try. No matter 244 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: how hard you try, you can't convince people to be 245 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 1: exactly like you. You can give advice to your kids as 246 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,320 Speaker 1: much as you want, but they go out there and 247 00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: they make the mistake where you told them not to 248 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: do it, and they do it, and then they tell 249 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 1: you about it, and you bite your tongue and you're like, 250 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: huh wow, I'm I'm sorry that happened to you. 251 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: You can't do anything about that. You can't. 252 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: They're gonna make the mistakes, and then some people they've 253 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: just chosen a different way to live, and that's just 254 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: the way it is. And sometimes you can see how 255 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: it works for them. Sometimes you can't see at all 256 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: how it works for them. But if they're not attacking you, 257 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: if they're trading with you, if they're not trying to 258 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: do you harm from without or within, Okay, okay, we'll 259 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 1: get together, we'll have dinner, it'll be a really good time. 260 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 1: And then you'll get in the car with your. 261 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: Spouse and be like, I don't understand those people at all. 262 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, they're pleasant. 263 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 1: I don't care how they live, bab I don't quite 264 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: understand what they're doing. 265 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 2: How that where I could never live. Thank god it's you. 266 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 1: Oh you drive me crazy, But that that would really 267 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: drive me nuts. So good, That's exactly what it is. 268 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: That's exactly what it is. He's not going to address that, 269 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: at least I don't think he's going to address it. 270 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: Let's find out. No, he didn't address that to any 271 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: We're gone. 272 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,400 Speaker 3: What is your level of concern of a blockade of 273 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 3: the Red Sea by the Hooty rebels opening up another front. 274 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: In the war. 275 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: What happens so far, it hasn't happened. Might happen, but 276 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 3: we take care of things. If something like that happens, 277 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 3: we take care of it. You know, we've done that 278 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: with the Houties before, and we haven't heard from them 279 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 3: in a while since we did what we did original, 280 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 3: and that was about forty five days of very powerful 281 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: action we took against the Hooties. And we've had no 282 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:56,280 Speaker 3: problem with the Hooties. 283 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: They've had no problem. 284 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: With us for a long period. 285 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 2: Of time, including during this conflict. 286 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: I think that if there is something like that, we'ld 287 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 3: just have to take care of business. 288 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 1: Okay, that's not accurate, sorry, mister President. The Huti Rebels 289 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: are funded by the Iranian regime and they're in Yemen, 290 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: and these are the people who have engaged in the 291 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: proxy war against Saudi Arabia. So Yemen gets ripped apart, 292 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: gets ripped asunder because of this war between Iran and 293 00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: the Saudis, which can be seen as a Sunni Shia 294 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: conflict Muslim versus Muslim. The Huti Rebels during the conflict 295 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: before the cease fire, I sound so stupid when I 296 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 1: say that, it was so so ridiculous. They were shooting 297 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 1: missiles into Israel. They things out of Yemen were being 298 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: shot down by Saudi Arabian others. They were not just 299 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines twiddling their thumbs waiting patiently. 300 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 2: That's not that's not at all what happened. 301 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 1: The Juti rebels believed that they could take control of 302 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,320 Speaker 1: the Red Sea and stop shipping going through the Red Sea. 303 00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 2: This did happen. 304 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: It changed how a lot of cargo ships moved and maneuvered, 305 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 1: not going through the Suez Canal, going around the entirety 306 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: of Africa, increasing costs tremendously. We engaged in bombings, and they, 307 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: because they were armed through the Iranians, were able to 308 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: actually hit back. Now, could we take the Hooti rebels. 309 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: Of course we could take the Houti rebels, you just 310 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 1: have to be willing to take them. But there's another 311 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 1: example of none of this would be an issue, or 312 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: be a much smaller issue if the Iranian regime was gone. 313 00:17:53,720 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: In every single circumstance, the answer, the first answer is 314 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 1: if the Iranian regime was. 315 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 2: Gone, this wouldn't be happening. 316 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: Could Lebanon have peace if the Iranian regime was gone, 317 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: they would have peace because you wouldn't be able to 318 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 1: fund Hasbel anymore, and a lot of those people would scatter. 319 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 1: If you didn't have the Iranian regime, these Islamist low lifes, 320 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:26,360 Speaker 1: these murderous terrorist losers, You wouldn't have funding for. 321 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 2: The UTI rebels. You could do away with that. Would 322 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 2: it happen overnight? No, nothing happens overnight. 323 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: Would it happen, Yes, if you didn't have the Iranian regime, 324 00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,680 Speaker 1: the amount of terrorism in the world would drop precipitously. 325 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:52,600 Speaker 1: If the Iranian regime would simply stop, you wouldn't have 326 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: problems in the straight of Hermus. The Iranian regime for 327 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: all of these nations is the flag point. 328 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 2: Of problems. 329 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: It is the place where all of the angst comes from. 330 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: They all want the regime gone. Why isn't the president 331 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: getting the regime gone? Well, Tony, that's I mean troops 332 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: on the ground, and we won't do it. Who said 333 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: they had to be our troops? Once again, I asked 334 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: this question. 335 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:28,840 Speaker 2: Keep it here. This is Tony Katz today. 336 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: So President Trump continues in the oval taking questions, and 337 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: I want to just get to a couple more questions, 338 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: and I want to get into this terrorist in New York. 339 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 1: This is domestic terrorism.

You got to manage Muslims who are there. 378 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: You have to manage the recognition that has been as 379 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: a terrorist organization that has. 380 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: Been destroying the South. 381 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: He's from the South, he tried to rebuild it, he 382 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: watched it destroyed in front of his eyes. 383 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,119 Speaker 2: Of course he wants it to end. They all do. 384 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 2: And that doesn't mean that there aren't people who are Lebanese. 385 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: Who are are supportive of the Islamist in Iran.

Yes, so, I'd say he's handsome also, and 406 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 3: I think he could become one of the most important 407 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 3: leaders in the Middle East. Actually, if we do this, 408 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,600 Speaker 3: because they've been doing trying to do this for for decades, 409 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 3: decades and decades, So if I made that statement about 410 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 3: somebody else, I would put him in the same category. 411 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: Do you find they're in. 412 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: The process of doing that. They're in the process of 413 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 3: redeploying and other sections. 414 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: And again they get along very well. 415 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 3: That was a great agreement they signed with Lebanon, and 416 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 3: they're redeploying. 417 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: This is about Israel getting out, I have I have 418 00:23:54,640 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: no I'm not confused by why Israel engages in the 419 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 1: South Elebanon, all of it being the disruption of Hesbla. 420 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: I would have no question or no reservation and saying 421 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: Israel would love nothing more than not being in Lebanon. 422 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: There's no win for them in this. There is no 423 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: win for them having to be so spread out. There 424 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: is no wind for the people of Western Galilee in 425 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:31,679 Speaker 1: having terrorists raining down bombs on them. You talk to 426 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 1: the Western Galilee Medical Center, which is about six miles 427 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 1: from the Lebanese border. When they built that hospital in 428 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 1: two thousand and three, they built it underground. 429 00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 2: Now, don't get me wrong, there's. 430 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: Six stories, seven stories above ground, but they built it 431 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: underground so when the bombings happen, they can bring all 432 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: the patients to the basement, multi layers deep and still 433 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: be able to have a surgical abbeys, be able to 434 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: deliver babies. The the hospital serves Jews and Christians and 435 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: Muslims and the Drus Druze community that all live in 436 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: that area. 437 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 2: Everybody would be better off if Hesbelo was gone. 438 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 1: Israe would totally pull and they would they would keep 439 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: a force on the border. Shark, let things happen for 440 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: a couple of years, peacefully, be like, okay, we'll keep 441 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: three quarters. 442 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 2: Of the force. 443 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,879 Speaker 1: Well, they always keep some force. I would believe that 444 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: one thousand percent. But in Lebanon they would rather not 445 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: the fortresses they've had to take back from from hesbal 446 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 1: I don't think they want any part of. 447 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 2: That at all, not in the slightest. 448 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: I'll get to more of this from President Trump in 449 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: a bit, but I wanted to discuss this act of 450 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism in New York because it turns out the 451 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 1: video we shared yesterday was actually accurate. What first got 452 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 1: described as fireworks being set off in front of the 453 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: Federal building in New York was actually one of these 454 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: leftist violent losers, pouring gasoline to the entryway and utilizing 455 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: a firework to light it on fire. That's what happened. 456 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: Two people got injured. The guy in question a forty 457 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: three year old who, according to the initial reporting, actually 458 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 1: served in the US military. And that's going to be 459 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: a whole that's a question for Pete Hegseth. How is 460 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 1: it that we have people that have served in the 461 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: military that are now people who are so radicalized. And 462 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: maybe the answer is we didn't do a very good 463 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 1: job of vetting who came into the military. When you 464 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: make the military seem like a terrible organization, terrible people, 465 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: bloodthirsty people, you don't get maybe the best and the. 466 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 2: Brighters all so. 467 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: You still definitely get people who care about their country, 468 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: You love their country, you want to serve their country. 469 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: But maybe you get some people who think this is 470 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: a good infiltration spot, and maybe we have not been 471 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 1: strong enough in weeding. 472 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 2: Those people out. And we're going to deal with some 473 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 2: of the consequences of that. As we have discussed. 474 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 1: If you take progressivism and you watch how it works, 475 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 1: nothing is ever a conspiracy. 476 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,720 Speaker 2: It is actually very out in the open. 477 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 1: Bad ideas to get bad people in the wrong places, 478 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: and then bad things happen, and you've got was it 479 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: the Fort Hoods shooting? And we can point to a 480 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 1: lot of things. How did those people get allowed into 481 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: the military to begin with? But save that, it's a 482 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: conversation for another day. This guy had not only did 483 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: he do this set fire multiple weapons, including two axes, 484 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: two airsoft rifles, six knives, a hammer, and a machete. 485 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: He also had six other incendiary devices or fireworks, along 486 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: with other destructive items, and he had on the wagon. 487 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 1: According to local reporting, the sign that read ice out 488 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 1: of our streets. This is left wing violence. Well, look 489 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 1: at what ICE is doing. People trying to run over cops. 490 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if you get hurt. People interfering with 491 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 1: police actions, you can't be surprised if they get hurt. 492 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 2: And I think there should be investigations. 493 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: You engage police on a car chase, what, of course 494 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 1: something bad is going to happen. 495 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 2: And I do. I am one of the. 496 00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 1: People who absolutely believes that when you see some of 497 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: these horrible things happen, when you see people get killed, 498 00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: the vast majority of leftists, they don't care. They say, Okay, 499 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: it's another martyr for the cause, and the left does 500 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 1: not stop, and these media outlets don't stop. The problem 501 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 1: is ICE. No, the problem is the illegal immigrant. The 502 00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:18,120 Speaker 1: problem is the white liberal woman who's sit thinking they 503 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 1: can run over comps. The problem is the progressivism that 504 00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: doesn't address this by changing the laws that would change 505 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 1: what ICE can do. No, it favors violent resistance. Well 506 00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 1: you say that enough and what you'll get is violent resistance. 507 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 1: NBC when they reported the story, this is how they 508 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 1: reported it. Fireworks set off outside twenty six Federal Plaza. 509 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: Sources say, sending smoke billowing fireworks set off. So this 510 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: is NBC not even giving the right story. How long 511 00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: did it take them before they change the headline to 512 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:09,640 Speaker 1: incendiary device deployed outside twenty six Federal Plaza. FBI says 513 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: they had to be bullied into doing it, shamed into 514 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: giving a headline that at least more addressed what it 515 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,200 Speaker 1: is that we are dealing with or what we are 516 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: dealing with. This is domestic terrorism. It doesn't matter to 517 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: me what Scarborough and Brazinski and the ms now miss 518 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: snow m snow miss now whatever they call it, mornings. 519 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: I they call m snow or miss now ms now. 520 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:46,800 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what they say do. 521 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: It matters what Donnie Deutsch says or Willie Geist. It 522 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 1: matters what is it was domestic terrorism, end of discussion. 523 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: We should all be opposed to it. I oppose riots 524 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:04,880 Speaker 1: at the Capitol. I also oppose domestic terrorism. It's an 525 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: easy thing to say. If you can't do both things. Ooh, 526 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 1: that's a serious problem. But what is leading to all 527 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: the agitation? I talk about the media? Is it the 528 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: media and Toto? The answer is no, although there's a 529 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of amplification there. The report from the Secretary 530 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: of State is unbelievable. I've started reading it. I've gotten 531 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:38,720 Speaker 1: through some of the highlights. It is amazing because you 532 00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: want to think of Cuba as this poor little country, 533 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,479 Speaker 1: poor press country. 534 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no. 535 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: Cuba has been a problem for seventy years. And the 536 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 1: question for the Secretary of State and for the president 537 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: is why don't we end the problem? Tony or such 538 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 1: a warmonger.
