1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:01,640 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,760 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,280 Speaker 2: you as well, and Senator there was a shocking moment 4 00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:14,000 Speaker 2: at the United Nations when the Secretary General had some 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,639 Speaker 2: shocking words to say, and now Israel is calling for 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 2: him to resign. This is spreading quickly in the world. 7 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 2: Your initial reaction to overall, We're going to play a 8 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: clip from it in a moment, but overall the shocking 9 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: anti semitism coming at the United Nations. 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 3: Well, the United Nations has long been a pit of 11 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 3: israel hatred and anti Semitism. In many ways, the United 12 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 3: Nations exist so that enemies of Israel can attack Israel 13 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 3: on a daily basis. Many aspects of the UN are 14 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 3: simply a joke, things like the Human Rights Council being 15 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 3: populated by nations like Cuba, like Libya, like Syria. Some 16 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: of the very worst violators of human rights in the 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:03,959 Speaker 3: world populate the Human Rights Council. The UN also routinely 18 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 3: launches investigations of Israel, attacking Israel, delegitimizing Israel, undermining Israel. 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: All that being said, the behavior of the Secretary General 20 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: this week was shameful, even by the standards of the 21 00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: United Nations. Give a listen to what he had to. 22 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 4: Say on the situation on the ground. Excellencies, The situation 23 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 4: in the Middle East is growing. 24 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 5: More dire by the hour. 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 4: The war in Gaza is raging and risks spirallying throughout 26 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 4: the region. Divisions are splintering, society's tensions threaten to boil over. 27 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 5: At a crucial moment like. 28 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 4: This, it is vital to be clear on principles, starting 29 00:01:54,200 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 4: with a fundamental principle of respecting and protecting civilians. I 30 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 4: have condemned an equivocally the oririfying and unprecedented seven October 31 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,399 Speaker 4: acts of terror by Hamas in Israel. Nothing can justify 32 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 4: the deliberate killing, injuring, and kidnapping of civilians, or the 33 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 4: launching of rockets against civilian targets. All ostages must be 34 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 4: treated humanly and released immediately and without conditions. And I 35 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 4: respectfully know the presence among us of members of their families. Excellencies, 36 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,919 Speaker 4: it is important to also recognize the attacks by Amas 37 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 4: did not happen. 38 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 5: In a vacuum. 39 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 4: The Palestinian people have been subjected to fifty six years 40 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 4: of suffocating occupation. They have seen their land steadily devoorred 41 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,360 Speaker 4: by settlements and plagued by violence. Their economy is stifled, 42 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 4: their people displaced and their homes demolished. Their hopes for 43 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 4: a political solution to their plight have been vanishing. But 44 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 4: believances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the appalling attacks 45 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 4: by Amas, and those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective 46 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 4: punishment of the Palestinian people. 47 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: Wow. In other words, we stand with Israel. 48 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 2: But let's tell you every reason why we actually stand 49 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 2: with the Palestinians and Hamas. And now we'll start telling 50 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: Israel what they can and cannot do to protect themselves. 51 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: Well, that was utterly disgraceful and dishonest, and in a moment, 52 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,240 Speaker 3: I want to go through it literally, sentenced by sentence, 53 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: but I want to first talk about who it is 54 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: that's speaking. So this is Antonio Manuel de Olivera Guterres. 55 00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 3: He's from Portugal. He was previously the Prime Minister of Portugal, 56 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 3: and he was the Prime Minister of Portugal from nineteen 57 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 3: ninety five to two thousand and two. Now, what did 58 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: he do? What did he also do? He was also 59 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 3: the president of the Socialist International. So you need to 60 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 3: understand this is the left. The far left hates Israel 61 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: and the far left embraces anti Semitism. He was pre 62 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 3: before that, he was Secretary General of the Socialist Party, 63 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 3: but he was president of the Socialist International, the Global 64 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 3: Socialist International. So this is one of the leading socialists 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 3: in the world, a man of the left, revered by leftists. 66 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 3: This is who they admire. And I want to go 67 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: through Ben. I want to play what he's saying again, 68 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,799 Speaker 3: and I want to stop it a couple of times 69 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 3: and just comment on it, sentence by sentence. So play 70 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: it again from the beginning. 71 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: The situation in the Middle East is growing more dire 72 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: by the hour. The war in Gaza is raging and 73 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 4: risk spiral link throughout the region. Divisions are splintering, society's 74 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 4: tensions threatened. 75 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 5: To boil over. 76 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 4: At a crucial moment like this, it is vital to 77 00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 4: be clear on principles, starting with the fundamental principle of 78 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: respecting and protecting civilians. 79 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: Let's just stop there. He says, it's spiraling out of control. Center. 80 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: It spiraled out the control the moment that Hamas parachuted 81 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 2: in and started taking hostages and killing people. I mean, 82 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: you had journalists that gathered in Israel to watch the 83 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 2: videos that were taken from the Hamas terraces. They were 84 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 2: wearing the equivalent of body cameras, go pro cameras, and 85 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: they watched the atrocis in Israel. And this guy says 86 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 2: it could spiral out of control. We've already passed that point. 87 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 2: They spiraled it out of control from square one. 88 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,919 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And this statement is all about 89 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: drawing a moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel. They're both 90 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 3: bad actors, they're both to be condemned, they're both to 91 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 3: be criticized when they're not remotely comparable. Keep playing, because 92 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 3: I want you want you to listen to his words 93 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: and what exactly he says. 94 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 4: I have condemned an equivocally the modifying and unprecedented seven 95 00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: October acts of terror. 96 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,599 Speaker 5: By Hamas in Israel. 97 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 4: Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring, and kidnapping of civilians, 98 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 4: or the launching of rockets against civilian targets. 99 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 6: Stop. 100 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 3: So I want you to look there, Okay, So there 101 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 3: he does the obligatory. I can condemn what Hamas did. 102 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 3: I mean that he has to say. Now, notice he says, 103 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 3: I condemn it on equivocally. Nothing can justify it. And 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: he says the targeting of civilians or the launching of rockets, 105 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: he doesn't specify the magnitude. Is the Holocaust different from 106 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 3: somebody being murdered on the streets. What happened on October 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 3: seventh is Hamas went in house to house murdering civilians, 108 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: targeting civilians. They have killed now over one thousand, four 109 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 3: hundred Israelis. They murdered elderly people, They murdered little children. 110 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 3: They violently raped. Noticed he didn't use that word rape. 111 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: They violently raped women, They violently raped little girls. Did 112 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 3: he condemn the raping of little girls? No, didn't mention 113 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 3: it at all. It just says, well, the targeting of 114 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 3: civilians or firing rockets that I condemn. He has no 115 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: acknowledgment that they are beheading and burning alive infants. The 116 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 3: scope of it, the depravity of it, is grotesque, and 117 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 3: this enlightened socialist leftist jackass cannot bring himself to condemn 118 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 3: it beyond I have spoken unequivocally and a condemn it. 119 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: But let me get on to what I really want 120 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 3: to say, which is I hate Israel. 121 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 6: Continue. 122 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 4: All ostages must be treated you mainly and released immediately 123 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 4: and without conditions. And I respectful for we know the 124 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: presence among us of members of their families. 125 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 6: Well that's very kind, excellencies. 126 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 4: It is important to also recognize the attacks by Amas 127 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 4: did not happen in a vacuum. 128 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 5: The Palestinian people. 129 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: Have been subjected to fifty six years of suffocating occupation. 130 00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 3: Stop so vacuum guy, you're lying. Gaza is not subject 131 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 3: to occupations, suffocating or otherwise. Israel left Gaza. Israel gave 132 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 3: the Palestinians Gaza. Not They didn't just give Gaza to 133 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: the Palestinians, they handed it over. They said, you want 134 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: to be in charge, you can have your own state. 135 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 3: You're in charge of it, you run it. And they 136 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 3: had millions and millions of dollars flow into it. All 137 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 3: Israel did is put up a wall and say, look, 138 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 3: you lunatics, don't come kill us, but you're in charge. 139 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: The only people occupying Gaza is Hamas. Israel is not 140 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: in Gaza, although they are going into Gaza now to 141 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: kill the Hamas terrorists. But that statement, what he means 142 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 3: by suffocating occupation is the fact that Israel exists. 143 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 6: That's what he means. 144 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: When anti Semites talk about this, that's what they mean 145 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: is as long as there is one square inch of Israel, 146 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: it is, in his world view, a suffocating occupation. It's 147 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 3: why when the rabbit anti Israel real activist chant from 148 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: the river to the sea, they mean from the Jordan 149 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 3: River all the way to the sea. They mean obliterating 150 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 3: all of Israel. That's what he calls a suffocating occupation. 151 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 3: But that is not Gaza. If it's occupied by anyone, 152 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 3: it's occupied by Hamas, which is Palestinian. The Israel is 153 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: not in Gaza. Keep playing. 154 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 4: They have seen that land steadily devolved by settlements and 155 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 4: plagued by violence. Their economy is stifled, that people displaced 156 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 4: and their homes demolished. 157 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 6: Stop. 158 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: So we've talked before on this podcast about one of 159 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: the classic tools that demagogues and liars use is use 160 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 3: of the passive voice. Now what is the passive voice? 161 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 3: For those of y'all who weren't paying close attention in 162 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 3: high school grammar, the active voice is when there is 163 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: an actor who is acting on the verb. Ben hit 164 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: the tennis ball. That's the active voice. Ben is the actor. 165 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: He is hitting the tennis ball. Massive voice is the 166 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 3: ball was hit. The passive voice is deliberately used to 167 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: hide the actor. So the Nixon White House famously says 168 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 3: this said crimes were committed, not who committed the crimes. 169 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: It is a way you obscure the actors. So when 170 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 3: they say their economy was stifled, and I'm pretty sure 171 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: he doesn't mean stiffler from American pie, he means stifled. 172 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: He doesn't acknowledge who has stifled the gas economy, which 173 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 3: is Hamas that takes millions of dollars that flow in 174 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 3: there to build hospitals, to build schools, to build water pipes. 175 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,079 Speaker 3: And what do they do. They take it all, They 176 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: loot it all, and they take the water pipes and 177 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 3: they turn them into rockets to attack Israelis because the 178 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: only thing these lunatics want to do is murder Jews, 179 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 3: because they are filled with genocidal hatred and the misery 180 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 3: of the Palestinian people. Look, I agree that many of 181 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: the Palestinian people are utterly miserable because Hamas terrorists use 182 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 3: them as human shields, and they don't build schools, they 183 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 3: don't build hospitals, they don't care about Palestinian babies. They 184 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: hate Jews more than they care about the Palestinian people. 185 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: Keep playing that hopes for a political solution to their 186 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 4: applied have been vanishing. But alievances of the Palestinian people 187 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: cannot justify the appalling attacks by Amas, and those appalling 188 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 4: attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people. 189 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: Wow, he claims that the oppression of the Palestinian people 190 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: cannot justify the appalling attacks of Hamas. But that is, 191 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 3: of course what his entire speech is doing, is trying 192 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: to justify the horrific, inhumane, grotesque terror attacks of Hamas. 193 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: And then when he says says at the end that 194 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 3: they should not justify the punishment of the Palacetian people. 195 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 3: Understand this because the media, the corporate media, CNN, ABCNBC, 196 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: they will lie to you. They will not tell you this. 197 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: They will do what that dishonest demagogue did. They will 198 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 3: suggest that it is Israel that wants Palestinian civilians to 199 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 3: suffer or die. That is a flat out lie. Israel 200 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: goes to greater lengths than any military on the face 201 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 3: of the planet, including Portugal's. This guy's the former Prime 202 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 3: Minister of Portugal. Portuguese military doesn't go to those lengths 203 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 3: to avoid civilian casualties, including texting civilians, including dropping leaflets 204 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: from the skies, including dropping dud bombs to let people 205 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 3: know where they're going, including trying to evacuate civilians. That 206 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 3: Israeli military does everything humanly possible to minimize civilian deaths. 207 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 3: Why are their civilian deaths because Hamas wants them. Hamas 208 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: wants Palestinians to die. Hamas deliberately puts its headquarters in 209 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 3: the basement of hospitals. It puts missiles in the basements 210 00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 3: of kindergartens because it wants dead Palestinian kindergarten and children, 211 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 3: so that idiots like this can then use those dead 212 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 3: human shields as a club to attack and demonize Israel. 213 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about our friends 214 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: and Augusta precious metals.

Do you think other countries will 244 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: come along along beside Israel? And what role should the 245 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 2: president have when it comes to calling on this UN 246 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,040 Speaker 2: chief to resign. 247 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 6: Well, here's what Israel has said. 248 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: Israel's UN envoy Gelad er Don called the Secretary General's 249 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: comments shocking, and he demanded that he resigned. Foreign Minister 250 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: Eli Cohen canceled a meeting with Guteris and Minister Benny Gantz, 251 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 3: who actually in the political world of Israel is considered 252 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 3: more man of the left, labeled the UN chief a 253 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: terror apologist. Here is a quote from Ambassador or Don. 254 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 3: The UN Secretary of General, who shows understanding for the 255 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 3: campaign of mass murder of children, women and the elderly, 256 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 3: is not fit to lead the UN. I call on 257 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 3: him to resign immediately. There is no justification or point 258 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 3: in talking to those who show compassion for the most 259 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 3: terrible atrocities committed against the citizens of Israel and the 260 00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 3: Jewish people. There are simply no words. He went on 261 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 3: to say, the remarks were quote horrible and completely disconnected 262 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 3: from the reality of our region. It is sad that 263 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 3: a person with such views is the head of an 264 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: organization that arose after the Holocaust. It's really unfathomable. Now 265 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 3: you asked, is the United States going to echo that? 266 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 3: Is Joe Biden going to echo the call for the 267 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 3: UN Secretary General to resign. I'm willing to put the 268 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: odds of that at zero point zero percent. There is 269 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 3: no chance Joe Biden will call on the UN Secretary 270 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 3: General to resign because those sentiments are the sentiments that 271 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:41,080 Speaker 3: are held by senior members of his administration, including by 272 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 3: the way, John Carey, who's right now the climates are, 273 00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 3: but he was the Secretary of State under Barack Obama. 274 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 3: When John Kerry was Secretary of State, he referred to 275 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 3: Israel as an apartheid state. That is an utter lie. 276 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 3: It is completely false. When John Kerrey did so, I 277 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 3: went to the Senate floor and called on John Kerrey 278 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 3: to resign as secret teria State. And I said at 279 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: the time, I said, for the US Secretary of State 280 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,280 Speaker 3: to repeat these blood libels, his words will be used 281 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 3: by the enemies of Israel. That will be used by 282 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: Hamas and Hesbela and Iran and those that seek the 283 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 3: destruction of Israel. And so unfortunately, under Joe Biden, I 284 00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: think there's no chance they're going to call on him 285 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 3: to resign because many of them agree with him. 286 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 2: It is so shocking that we are at a point 287 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 2: now where we have an administration that can't just be 288 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,040 Speaker 2: outraged over basic issues of right and wrong. 289 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: And this, to me is an issue of right and wrong. 290 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: So for Verdict listeners right now that say, hey, I 291 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 2: want to stand up for Israel, should they be calling 292 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,479 Speaker 2: their congressmen and their senators and telling them that they 293 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: should be putting pressure on this administration on this un issue. 294 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 3: What you should be doing is speaking out for Israel, 295 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 3: using your voice to make clear that what Hamas did 296 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:03,240 Speaker 3: was a grotesque war crime. 297 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 6: It was horrific. 298 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 3: It was inhumanity of the kind and nature that the 299 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,680 Speaker 3: Nazis carried out in the Holocaust. It was targeting innocent 300 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 3: women and children because they are Jews. And Israel is 301 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 3: justified in defending itself and in utterly destroying Hamas. And 302 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 3: so look, I think we should be holding American politicians 303 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 3: to account when they undermine Israel, as the Biden administration 304 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 3: does repeatedly, as the Squad does repeatedly, as radicals in 305 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 3: our college, university colleges and universities do repeatedly, and as 306 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,280 Speaker 3: the un is doing, and so I think adding your 307 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 3: voice is important, and I think one of the most 308 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: important ways to do that is sharing this podcast. I mean, 309 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: the information we cover in this podcast you don't get. 310 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: You can watch CNN every minute, twenty four hours a day, 311 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: although God help you if you did, I would not 312 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: wish that on my worst enemy. Yeah, and you have 313 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 3: spent hours ben on CNN. You know exactly the circle 314 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 3: of Hell we're talking about with that. 315 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: Yes, seven I did seven years in hell. 316 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: Literally, that's what I tell people about my time there 317 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 2: as a conservative trying to fight the battle. 318 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 3: But they don't cover news. They won't tell you about 319 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 3: any of this. It's simply not. They are now political propaganda. 320 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 3: Fox News will cover this, but Fox News you get 321 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 3: a snippet here and there, you get a couple of 322 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 3: minutes of it, but you don't get the level of 323 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 3: in depth analysis of the facts that we try to 324 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,119 Speaker 3: provide in this podcast. And the reason, look, you and 325 00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 3: I are sitting here. It is eleven twelve pm. We 326 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: typically record these podcasts at ten o'clock at night or 327 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 3: eleven o'clock at night or midnight because both of us 328 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: have full time day jobs, but I think it is 329 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 3: important to get this information out and so sharing this 330 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 3: podcast and making the case that when when we see 331 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: civilian casualties, which we will, making sure people understand this 332 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 3: is because Hamas wants Palestinian civilians to die. They're counting 333 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: on Democrats in the media to use this to attack Israel. 334 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,280 Speaker 2: You know, there's also something else that's happening, and that's 335 00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: going to happen on Wednesday, and it is interesting the timing. 336 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: You have a man that has been nominated to become 337 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 2: the ambassador to Israel from the US. I had the 338 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: privilege of watching you question him, and I want to 339 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: play part of that because we're now. I mean, if 340 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 2: there's any time to have a strong, staunch ambassador, a 341 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: man that's willing to stand side by side with Israel, 342 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 2: this would be the time for the Biden administration to 343 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: do that. And yet there are a lot of problems 344 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 2: with this individual. And I want people to hear what 345 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: you had to say to them back and forth a 346 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 2: little bit. 347 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:53,919 Speaker 1: Take a listen. 348 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 3: You played a pivotal role in flooding over one hundred 349 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 3: billion dollars to the Iranian regime. The Biden administration has 350 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 3: continued that policy, flooding nearly an additional one hundred billion 351 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 3: dollars to the Iranian regime. That policy of appeasement, sending 352 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:19,200 Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars to a theocratic, homicidal, genocidal 353 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: maniac who leads chance of death to America and death 354 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 3: to Israel, has proven catastrophic. 355 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 6: The death squads. 356 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 3: In Israel from Hamas are funded in real and meaningful 357 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,919 Speaker 3: ways by the billions of dollars the Obama administration and 358 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 3: now the Biden administration has flowed directly to Iran that 359 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 3: has proven disastrous. 360 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 6: We also have drones. 361 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 3: As you know today, the arms embargo on Iran expires 362 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 3: to day, ironically, the day of your hearing. You were 363 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 3: pivotal in advocating for UN Resolution two two three one, 364 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,360 Speaker 3: the Iran Deal, which is why the Arms of Bargo 365 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 3: is expiring today. On October seventh, Hamas used swarms of 366 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 3: sophisticated drones in their October seventh attack. Do you believe 367 00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: the world is safer today because of two three three 368 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: two two three one and the expiration of the arms 369 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 3: in Bargo, allowing Iran now to sell inner ballistic missiles 370 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:39,159 Speaker 3: and long range drones. 371 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,160 Speaker 7: Senator, I think you would have to agree that the 372 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 7: history of the US engagement on JCPOA has changed substantially 373 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 7: since I sat. 374 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,480 Speaker 3: Do you think the world is better and safer with 375 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 3: the arms of Bargo expire. 376 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 8: Its Senator, if the US was not. 377 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 6: Yes or no? Are we safer today with no arms 378 00:22:58,960 --> 00:22:59,359 Speaker 6: in Bargo? 379 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 7: I think it's a much more complicated than that, because 380 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 7: we're not part of JCPOA. Therefore there was no extension 381 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 7: of the arms embargo. I would have advocated for an 382 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 7: extension of the arms embargo, and we might well have. 383 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: And by the way, the Biden administration has been in 384 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 3: power two and a half years. The ARSTA bargo is 385 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: expiring today. And you were pivotal in that happened. Let's 386 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,920 Speaker 3: look if you look at just that exchange right there. 387 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 3: So jacklu was the Treasury Secretary under Barack Obama. Before that, 388 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,240 Speaker 3: he was chief of Staff under Barack Obama, and he 389 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 3: played a central role in the Obama Iran nuclear deal. 390 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 3: The Obama Iran nuclear deal was spectacularly foolish. It resulted 391 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 3: in over one hundred billion dollars going to Iran and 392 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 3: just flooding that economy. 393 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 6: With cash. 394 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: By the way, Iran is the world's leading state sponsor 395 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 3: of terrorism, and that money that jacklu sent to Iran, 396 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: and the money that in the past two and a 397 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: half years the Biden administration is sent to Iran in 398 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 3: a very real sense funded these Hamas death squads and 399 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:04,159 Speaker 3: the terror attacks on Israel. But his response is, well, gosh, 400 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 3: we're out of the Iran deal now, so it's not 401 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 3: my fault. Well, as I pointed out there, Joe Biden's 402 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 3: been in office two and a half years. He's tried 403 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 3: desperately to give Iran everything it wanted. He's given them 404 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: another one hundred billion dollars just about. And nonetheless, under 405 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: Jack Blue's leadership, there is no longer An arms in Bargo, 406 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 3: and that was because Lou led the fight to eliminate 407 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 3: the arms in Bargo. And we can see those drones 408 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 3: attacking and those rockets raining down on Israel. 409 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile for ten years has been America's only Christian 410 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider. And when I say only trust me, 411 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 2: they are literally the only one. The team at Patriots 412 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 2: Mobile are incredible because they are an American based company 413 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 2: with an American based call center that helps proud Americans 414 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,639 Speaker 2: just like you that are conservatives and Christian know that 415 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: when they pay their bill every month, you're actually making 416 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 2: a difference and standing up for what you believe in. 417 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 2: So stop sending your money to woke companies that are 418 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,919 Speaker 2: fighting against your values. You may not realize that the 419 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 2: Big Mobile they have been giving millions to liberal Democrats 420 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 2: and to places like Planned Parenthood. Well, Patriot Mobile has 421 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 2: decided to do something else. And I love this about 422 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 2: them as a company. For every Verdict listener that switches 423 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 2: your cell phone provider to Patriot Mobile, they are going 424 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:32,120 Speaker 2: to make an initial donation to a organization that helps 425 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: protect the lives of unborn children. 426 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: It is pretty awesome. 427 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 2: And then every month when you pay your bill, they 428 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 2: take a portion of your bill at no extra cost 429 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 2: to you, and they give it back to hardcore conservative 430 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 2: Christian organizations.

You also brought up 445 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,960 Speaker 2: another point, and I want people to hear what you 446 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 2: said during this confirmation shift. 447 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,199 Speaker 3: To another thing is because the Biden administration didn't just 448 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 3: send money to Iran in massive numbers. It is also 449 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 3: sent money to Gaza that went to Hamas. And at 450 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240 Speaker 3: the time I led a coalition of senators urging the 451 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 3: Biden administration do not send money to Gaza because it 452 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 3: is controlled by Hamas, it will be used by Hamas 453 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,159 Speaker 3: for acts of terrorism. We now know that the Biden 454 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 3: administration reach the following determination and I quote due to 455 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 3: its overall strength and level of control over Gaza, we 456 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 3: assess that there is a high risk Hamas could potentially 457 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 3: derive indirect on intentional benefit from US assistance to Gaza 458 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 3: high risk. Now's Treasury Secretary, You're familiar with these determinations. 459 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: Under ordinary anti terrorism laws, you can't send money whether 460 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: it's a high risk it'll be used for terrorism. But 461 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 3: what did the Biden administration do? It waved or anti 462 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 3: terrorism law because their political agenda was so important, they 463 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 3: were willing to take that high risk. Was it a 464 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: mistake to send hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza that, 465 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: in a very real and practical way funded the death 466 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 3: squads and funded the rockets that are being used to 467 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 3: murder Israelis Center, I was not in government at the 468 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 3: time these assisitions were made. 469 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 8: It was I misstakeing. 470 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 7: I'm not familiar with the back and forth that you're 471 00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 7: referring to, but my understanding is the funding that went 472 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 7: to Gaza was for things like the hospital and humanitarians. 473 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 3: So was OFAK wrong when it concluded there's a high 474 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 3: risk that Hamasca to derive benefit Center. 475 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 8: I would have to look at the document to. 476 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 3: Have hire you were one of a few people that has 477 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: the expertise to do this. 478 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,919 Speaker 7: I have high regard for Ophac. I just am not 479 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 7: familiar with the doctors. 480 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 3: So is the world safer or less safe because hundreds 481 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 3: of millions of dollars were sent to Gaza when it's 482 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 3: controlled by AMAS Center. 483 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,920 Speaker 7: Hamasa's activities have proven how evil they are and how 484 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 7: important it is. 485 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 3: You're not answering that question. Let me ask this question. 486 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:34,159 Speaker 7: But I will say that the Treasury has repeatedly undermined Israel. 487 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,240 Speaker 3: Stop stop for a second, Stop for a second. All right, 488 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 3: let's just take that exchange right there. So, so I 489 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 3: referenced something called OPHAC. 490 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 6: What is o fact? 491 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 3: O FAC is the Office of Foreign Assets Control o 492 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 3: PHAC is part of the Treasury Department. So OPAC reports 493 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: to the Treasury Secretary. Jacklue knows exactly what OPACT does. 494 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: O fact all the time makes determinations about whether money 495 00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: is likely to support terrorism. If it is, you can't 496 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 3: send the money. That's ophec's job. So notice Jack louse defense. 497 00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 3: He says, well, I don't know. I'm not part of 498 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 3: the administration. Mind you. He's been nominated by Joe Biden 499 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: to serve as the United States ambassador to Israel. But 500 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: his defense is ignorance. He's not going to defend the 501 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 3: sending money to Gaza, even though o fact, the office 502 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 3: that used to report to him concluded there was a 503 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 3: high likely it would go to Hamas and go to 504 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 3: terrorism instead. He says, well, I don't know. I don't 505 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 3: know anything. You know, I'm just some guy sitting here. 506 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 3: Don't ask me to know anything about it. And then 507 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 3: he also puts out the rather amusing talking point, Well, 508 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: the money was supposed to go to hospitals, no kidding, Yeah, yeah, 509 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 3: you hundreds hundreds of millions that has flooded into Gaza 510 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: was supposed to go to hospitals. Remember the goose stepping 511 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 3: Secretary General of the UN where he says talks about 512 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: the poverty in Gaza. Well, the reason they're so poor 513 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: is they take all the money that's supposed to go 514 00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: to hospitals and they send it to Hamas to kill 515 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 3: Jews instead, because that's the only thing they care about 516 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 3: as murdering as many Jews as possible. And jacklu should 517 00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,239 Speaker 3: know that. But but all right, the questioning goes on 518 00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 3: because next I ask him about the Biden administration systematically 519 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: undermining Israel. 520 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 6: And I'm gonna. 521 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: Foreshadow slightly if you thought he didn't know anything about 522 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 3: or he claimed he didn't know anything about Biden's policy 523 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,920 Speaker 3: towards towards Gaza. He's going to claim he knows even 524 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 3: less about Biden's policy towards Israel. Within hours of the 525 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,959 Speaker 3: attack commencing, the State Department sent out a tweet from 526 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,120 Speaker 3: the Office of Palestinian Affairs, an office that would report 527 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,760 Speaker 3: to you if you're confirmed, that said, we unequivocally condemned 528 00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 3: the attack of Amas terrorist and the loss of life 529 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from 530 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 3: violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing. Do 531 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 3: you agree with this tweet that was sent by the 532 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,920 Speaker 3: Biden State Department. 533 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 8: Center, I would have to read it. I'm not familiar 534 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:56,479 Speaker 8: with it. 535 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 6: You're not familiar with it. 536 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 8: I want, I want, I wanted to go back to 537 00:30:59,440 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 8: the last point. 538 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 6: Hold on a second. You're not familiar with this tweet. 539 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 3: They sent it out at three in the morning, while 540 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 3: the attacks were unfolding. I blasted it at three in 541 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 3: the morning, and they deleted it within the hour because 542 00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,840 Speaker 3: it was shameful. They were telling telling Israel, do not 543 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: respond while your citizens are being murdered. 544 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 7: And by the way, the President of the United States 545 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 7: has stated clearly the policy of the United States. 546 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 8: I agree, I agree. 547 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 3: With Sue, I understand, But at the same time, this 548 00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 3: administration repeatedly walks back what he says. So here's another 549 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 3: tweet sent from the State Department, Turkish Foreign Minister and 550 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 3: I spoke. This is from Secretary Blincoln spoke further on 551 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: Hamas's terrorist attack on Israel. I encouraged Turkey's advocacy for 552 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 3: a cease fire and the release of all hostages held 553 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 3: by Hamas immediately. 554 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 6: Do you agree with this tweet from. 555 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 3: The Secretary of State calling for a cease fire immediately 556 00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 3: after this attack began. 557 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 7: I think the President and the Secretary of State have 558 00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 7: made clear that Israel has a right and a receive. 559 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 6: You agree with this tweet from the State. 560 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 8: Senator, I can't respond to tweets that you're reading to me. 561 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 6: Why are you not familiar with it? 562 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: I'm telling you, they haven't followed what the administration has 563 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: said on this. By the way, they deleted this tweet 564 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 3: as well. Day after day after day, this administration is 565 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:18,040 Speaker 3: systematically undermined Israel. And finally you advocated for you a 566 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 3: wold those shop. All right, let's take that back and forth. 567 00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 3: Notice his entire defense is I don't know a damn thing. 568 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 3: I have no idea now, mind you. So Jacklu was 569 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 3: nominated months ago, his nomination hadn't gone anywhere. Why hadn't 570 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: gone anywhere? In fact, there were some Democrats who were 571 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:40,000 Speaker 3: attacking me saying Cruz is holding this nomination. That was 572 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 3: in fact not true, because you cannot hold a nomination 573 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,520 Speaker 3: until it is cleared committee and is headed to the floor. 574 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 3: Until it has made it out of committee. No senator 575 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 3: can hold any nomination because there's no there's no ability 576 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 3: in the Senate to do that. So the reason Jacklu 577 00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 3: had not proceeded until last week is because the Democrats 578 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 3: who controlled the heres hadn't scheduled a hearing for him, 579 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 3: and they just allow his nomination to sit there for 580 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 3: a week after week after week after week. Now, once 581 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 3: this attack happened, suddenly the Democrat talking point went out, 582 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 3: and it went out from the White House, it went 583 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,240 Speaker 3: out from the Democrats in the Senate and the House. 584 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 3: Everyone was echoing, we must confirm Jacklu now, now, now, now, 585 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 3: now why, because Israel's in crisis that we need our 586 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 3: ambassador there. And so they rushed the hearing the last 587 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 3: week and today we're going to vote in the Senate 588 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,880 Speaker 3: Formulations Committee. I assume every Democrat is going to vote 589 00:33:28,920 --> 00:33:31,280 Speaker 3: to confirm jacklu and they're saying we must do it 590 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: because of the war at Israel. Now notice his defense. 591 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 3: There's a war at Israel, and he's saying, well, I 592 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,720 Speaker 3: don't know what's happening. I don't know what the State 593 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 3: Department said, I don't know what the State Department said 594 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 3: the day the attack happened. I don't know what the 595 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 3: Secretary of State that said the day after the attack happened. 596 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,360 Speaker 3: Both of those tweets were deleted because they were disgraced 597 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,040 Speaker 3: when they were deleted after I called them out. And 598 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 3: his defense, it's it's just the I know nothing defense, 599 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 3: And there's a reason he has to give that defense, 600 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 3: because the altern is to actually defend it, and. 601 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:04,479 Speaker 6: Even the Biden administration won't defend it. 602 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 3: They deleted the tweets and realize, oh crap, we can't 603 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 3: say this out loud, and so instead he's reduced to 604 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,719 Speaker 3: just dissembling. 605 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 2: And it seems to work for them because it's like 606 00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 2: they say, we'll get away with it, because surely no 607 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 2: one's really going to try to stop us now that 608 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: we desperately need this nominee. 609 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 1: Is that part of the game plan here? 610 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:29,719 Speaker 2: Just hey, act like you're an idiot, so you get 611 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: the nomination done with, and then you can do what 612 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 2: you really know and we know you're going to do 613 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 2: for us and what you really believe in. And you're 614 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: not going to be a tough guy, you know with 615 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,520 Speaker 2: with hamas Asma. In fact, you're probably gonna be tougher 616 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 2: on Israel as the ambassador from the US. 617 00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 6: Yeah. 618 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,200 Speaker 3: Look, the Biden administration's argument is essentially, our policies have 619 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 3: utterly screwed up the Middle East. It's caused chaos in Israel. 620 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 3: Sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and funding 621 00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,480 Speaker 3: terrorists was a spectactularly bad idea. But because things are 622 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 3: so screwed up, we need to confirm one of the 623 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,600 Speaker 3: guys who was one of the lead advocates for sending 624 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,360 Speaker 3: hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and the terrorists. 625 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 3: In other words, one of the architects of the policies 626 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,360 Speaker 3: who screwed this up. We got to confirm as our ambassador. 627 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:12,720 Speaker 3: Because things are so screwed up, that makes no sense. 628 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:15,480 Speaker 3: I would like to see a US ambassador to Israel 629 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,600 Speaker 3: confirmed yesterday. I'd like to see one who actually has 630 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 3: committed number one to defending America, but number two to 631 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 3: standing with our friend in ally Israel. And Jack Lu's 632 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,480 Speaker 3: record has been precisely backwards. 633 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 6: But let's go. 634 00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,439 Speaker 3: Let's go to the last exchange of the hearing, because 635 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 3: the last exchange really reveals. And finally, you advocated for 636 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,920 Speaker 3: UN resolution two three three four, which declared much of 637 00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 3: Israel illegally occupied territory, including the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem 638 00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 3: and the Western Wall. Do you believe the Jewish Quarter 639 00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,600 Speaker 3: in the Western Wall or illegally occupied territory? 640 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:56,320 Speaker 7: Senator, I do not believe that it is illegally occupied territory. 641 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 6: Why did you support a UN resolution saying that it is? 642 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 7: I think the the we could have a conversation about that, 643 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 7: but it was going to take me more than ten 644 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,280 Speaker 7: seconds to respond to it, which all the time. 645 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 6: You allow the witness to respond. If you allow the witness. 646 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 7: To respond, so first, if I can respond, You've said 647 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 7: a lot of things that you have not given me 648 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 7: a chance to respond to. I sanctioned Hamas in twenty fifteen. 649 00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 7: Hamas was sanctioned again today. So I don't think it 650 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,440 Speaker 7: was a fair characterization of either what I did or 651 00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:29,920 Speaker 7: this administration. Second of all, the issue of a UN 652 00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 7: resolution is it was a UN resolution that all the 653 00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,919 Speaker 7: parties had to agree to, that was negotiated to take 654 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 7: out the most offensive provisions. 655 00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,120 Speaker 8: Whether it was a good or a bad resolution. 656 00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 7: In the end, the president decided to abstain rather than 657 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,400 Speaker 7: have a worse resolution come out. You can agree or 658 00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 7: disagree with that Veto did, but he was trying to 659 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,280 Speaker 7: prevent a worse resolution. 660 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 6: The time has expired, worth. 661 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,879 Speaker 3: So understand that exchange. So this all happened at the 662 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 3: end of twenty sixteen. So December of twenty sixteen, the 663 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,760 Speaker 3: president dential election has happened. Donald Trump has just been elected. 664 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 3: Barack Obama is a lame duck on the way out. 665 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 3: Before they leave, they decided they wanted to stick it 666 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,600 Speaker 3: to Israel on the way out the door. So in 667 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,800 Speaker 3: December of twenty sixteen, the Obama administration orchestrated UN Resolution 668 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 3: two three three four. UN Resolution two three three four 669 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:33,719 Speaker 3: is the most viciously anti Israel, anti Semitic resolution that's 670 00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:37,080 Speaker 3: ever made it out of the United Nations. It declares 671 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 3: much of modern day Israel illegally occupied territory and illegitimate. 672 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,480 Speaker 3: It declares Judaea and Samaria illegally occupied territory and illegitimate. 673 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,600 Speaker 3: It declares, as I mentioned in the question, the Jewish 674 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 3: Quarter of Jerusalem as illegally occupied territory. It declares the 675 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 3: Western Wall. It's also called the whaling Wall. You may 676 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: remember there's a famous picture of Barack Obama wearing a 677 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 3: yamaka with his hand resting against the Western Wall. Under 678 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 3: UN resolution two three three four, the western wall of 679 00:38:12,719 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 3: the of Solomon's Temple is illegally occupied territory. Now that 680 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,719 Speaker 3: is absurd. It is a lie. It is incredibly damaging. Now, 681 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,360 Speaker 3: how did the Obama administration did this. They did this 682 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 3: by orchestrating behind the scenes and getting the enemies of 683 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:33,040 Speaker 3: Israel to draft it, to author it. They were actively 684 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:38,760 Speaker 3: involved in drafting it. But then you know his defense 685 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,360 Speaker 3: that he kept saying, well, we did it because we 686 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,160 Speaker 3: wanted to prevent something worse from happening. We wanted that 687 00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 3: to prevent them from passing an even worse resolution. Now 688 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,120 Speaker 3: there is a technical legal term for what he just 689 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 3: did there, and that's called a lie. That's called utter garbage. 690 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 3: Why because under the UN Charter, the United States is 691 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 3: a permanent member of the Securearity Council, and we have 692 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 3: a veto. We can veto any resolution that comes out. 693 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 3: So if the United States says two words, says I object, 694 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,759 Speaker 3: the resolution fails, that's a power the United States has. 695 00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,920 Speaker 3: So he said, well, the president decided to abstain, So 696 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,360 Speaker 3: he did more than that. The Obama administration was behind 697 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:25,879 Speaker 3: the scenes orchestrating the whole thing. But lou was intimately 698 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 3: involved in undermining Israel on the way out the door. 699 00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 3: And I will note when the Trump presidency started, I 700 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,680 Speaker 3: introduced legislation that would have cut off funding for the 701 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 3: United Nations entirely from the United States unless and until 702 00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,560 Speaker 3: they rescinded UN Resolution two three three four. And we 703 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 3: should have stood hard and done that. Unfortunately, in fact, 704 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,160 Speaker 3: I got in arguments with Niki Haley it was nominated 705 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 3: to be UN Ambassador, because she disagreed with doing that. 706 00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,240 Speaker 3: And I think we should have stood firmly and said 707 00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 3: this is a viciously anti Israel resolution and we will 708 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,480 Speaker 3: not stand for it. You're not getting our money as 709 00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 3: long as you're attacking Israel. That's what we should have done. 710 00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 3: But I got to say I have no doubt that 711 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 3: the Secretary General of the UN would would have been 712 00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 3: thrilled and maybe was thrilled at the time with the resolution. 713 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 3: It's entirely consistent with the remarks that he made this week. 714 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,399 Speaker 2: It is again one of those issues where Americans need 715 00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,919 Speaker 2: to understand these are important and big votes, and these 716 00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 2: are people that are getting into positions of power and 717 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 2: they're putting not just our security at risk, but especially 718 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 2: those in Israel at risk, and with this anti semitism, 719 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 2: to be clear, that's what it is. I also want 720 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 2: to play for you, Senator the White House. They're taking 721 00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 2: some heat now for their stance on Israel that seems 722 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,680 Speaker 2: to be changing by the hour. Before I do that, 723 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 2: I want to tell you about our friends at Chalk. 724 00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 2: If you are a guy and you're getting a little 725 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 2: bit older and you feel like that you have lost 726 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 2: some of your strength and your vitality and weakness is 727 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: setting in, complacency setting in. 728 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: Maybe you just don't feel like yourself. 729 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,799 Speaker 2: You want to go out and be more active, but 730 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,359 Speaker 2: you just feel like you are complacent and fatigued. 731 00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:17,880 Speaker 1: Well, you're not alone. 732 00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,840 Speaker 2: The problem is men's to STOSTRM levels are off a 733 00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 2: cliff historically at an all time low.

Senator, I want to play for you quickly. 752 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,680 Speaker 2: The White House and the White House got themselves in 753 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 2: some trouble because the President has mostly been saying the 754 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 2: right things, but the White House and the staffers completely 755 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:41,240 Speaker 2: different story. Take a list in the White House Press briefing. 756 00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:45,480 Speaker 9: Level of concern right now about potential rise of. 757 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 6: Anti Semitism in line of everything that's going on is reel. 758 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 9: So a couple of things. Look, we have not seen 759 00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 9: any credible threads. I know there's been always questions about 760 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 9: credible threads, and so just want to make sure that 761 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,799 Speaker 9: that's out there. But look, Muslim and those perceived to 762 00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:09,200 Speaker 9: be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate fueled attacks, 763 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 9: and certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim 764 00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 9: Arab Arab Americans and Palastine American loved ones and neighbors 765 00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 9: are worried about the hate being directed at their communities. 766 00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 9: And that is something you heard the President speak to 767 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:27,600 Speaker 9: in his address just last last Thursday. And so one 768 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 9: of the things that the President has done is directed 769 00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 9: his team, Homeland Security team to prioritize prevention and disruption 770 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:37,120 Speaker 9: of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish, the 771 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 9: Muslim Ab Americans, are any other communities. And that is 772 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 9: something that the President has sought to do and since 773 00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:48,600 Speaker 9: day one, as you know, the President ran on you know, 774 00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:53,160 Speaker 9: bringing community, protecting communities obviously, but bringing people together, the soul, 775 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,920 Speaker 9: protecting the soul of the nation. And so that is 776 00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:02,279 Speaker 9: something that the President takes very very serious. And you know, 777 00:44:02,360 --> 00:44:04,360 Speaker 9: we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate 778 00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 9: towards any American here, and so that's what we're going 779 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,480 Speaker 9: to continue to be steadfast on. Again, he has advised 780 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,520 Speaker 9: directed his Homeland Security team to make sure that they're 781 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:15,759 Speaker 9: on top of this now. 782 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:16,120 Speaker 1: Center. 783 00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: The part about this that's so appable is the White 784 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,280 Speaker 2: House Press Secretary has now come out and said, quote 785 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:28,440 Speaker 2: she misheard the anti semitism question only because of the 786 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:30,640 Speaker 2: massive backlash from that answer. 787 00:44:31,440 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 3: Well, it really is striking that the White House Press 788 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,799 Speaker 3: Secretary is unwilling to stand up and clearly and unequivocally 789 00:44:36,800 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 3: condemned anti semitism. Say, anti Semitism is wrong, it is evil. 790 00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 3: It is a unique evil that has existed on this 791 00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 3: face of this planet for thousands of years, and we 792 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 3: are completely opposed to it. Moreover, we will ensure that 793 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:53,520 Speaker 3: that law enforcement resources are there to protect Jewish Americans. 794 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 3: I'll tell you Jewish communities across this country have a 795 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,319 Speaker 3: level of concern and a level of fear, unlike any 796 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 3: time I've ever scene as the anti Semitism on college 797 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:07,120 Speaker 3: campuses that there was a Jewish student at Columbia was 798 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,880 Speaker 3: beaten with a stick in recent days, the threats of 799 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 3: violence on campuses because the anti Israel, the jew hating 800 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,439 Speaker 3: far left is so extreme that there is a real 801 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 3: threat of violence against the American Jewish community and for 802 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,640 Speaker 3: that matter, of the Jewish community worldwide in Europe and elsewhere. 803 00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,600 Speaker 3: And I got to say her answer to that was 804 00:45:32,719 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 3: striking in that the Babylon Bee, which does a fabulous 805 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 3: job as a humor and satire site, they had an 806 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,759 Speaker 3: article that they hadn't published, but they tweeted it out 807 00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,600 Speaker 3: today and they said, it's hard to stay ahead of reality. 808 00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 6: At the Babylon Bee. 809 00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 3: We had this written up last night, only to wake 810 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,919 Speaker 3: up and see the White House doing exactly this before 811 00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,760 Speaker 3: we had a chance to publish. And here was the 812 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,319 Speaker 3: fake satirical headline that they had written, and they were 813 00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,880 Speaker 3: getting ready to publish when Kareem John Pierre beat them 814 00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,920 Speaker 3: to the punch. The fake headline read in strong response 815 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,120 Speaker 3: to rising hate crimes, against Jews, Democrats denounce Islamophobia. That's 816 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:14,799 Speaker 3: exactly what she did. And it's and I tweeted out, 817 00:46:14,840 --> 00:46:19,120 Speaker 3: no longer satire, just sad because their view listen when 818 00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:22,759 Speaker 3: it comes to the anti Semitic bigots, to when it 819 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,720 Speaker 3: comes to the squad, when it comes to the thirty 820 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 3: five student groups at Harvard and the radicals running our 821 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 3: college campuses, the Biden White House, and I would have 822 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: to assume, including Kareem John Pierre, side with the radicals 823 00:46:36,600 --> 00:46:40,320 Speaker 3: against the people of Israel and against even American Jews. 824 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 3: Their answer, they say, we've seen no credible threat of 825 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,520 Speaker 3: anti Semitism in America. Really, well, where the hell have 826 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,560 Speaker 3: you been if you haven't seen any, because I got 827 00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:55,080 Speaker 3: to tell you, the Jewish community is feeling it acutely, 828 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:58,880 Speaker 3: and we've seen multiple horrific acts of violence directed against Jews, 829 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 3: directed against synagogue, including mass murders in the United States, 830 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 3: and for the White House to say they see no 831 00:47:05,280 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 3: credible threat is truly absurd. 832 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:07,799 Speaker 1: Yeah. 833 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:10,680 Speaker 2: I was talking literally today to a dear friend of 834 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:13,919 Speaker 2: mine who's Jewish and that works very close to Times 835 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:17,239 Speaker 2: Square in a largely Jewish community, and he said they 836 00:47:17,320 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 2: had been told by local law enforcement to really be 837 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,120 Speaker 2: on high alert and be careful, and even it recommended 838 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:27,799 Speaker 2: they traveled together in groups, not be isolated alone, and 839 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 2: to be careful at their places of business. That is 840 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 2: what he said to me today.

And I will say I've had conversations 844 00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:49,160 Speaker 3: with multiple people on the left who are not deeply political, 845 00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:55,560 Speaker 3: who are shocked at the open anti Semitism that that 846 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,400 Speaker 3: is arising on the far left. It's been there for 847 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,440 Speaker 3: a long time, but if you're not paying attention, it 848 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 3: takes something like the events of the last couple of 849 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 3: weeks to really bring into stark relief. 850 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:07,240 Speaker 6: And I hope this is opening some eyes. 851 00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 2: We're gonna keep covering it, We're gonna keep breaking news 852 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 2: on it, and we'll keep you updated on it each 853 00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 2: and every day that we do this show.
