1
00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:01,800
Speaker 1: Welcome.

2
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Kruz Ben Ferguson with

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: you and Senator Israel under attack yet again. Unfortunately, this

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: was predictable, especially since the United States of America i'd

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: taken its hand off of Israel with the Biden administration

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:16,920
Speaker 2: leading the way on that.

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 3: Well, we are right now talking a couple of minutes

8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 3: before eleven pm on Sunday, and the eyes of the

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 3: world are on Israel and Iran. As in the last

10
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,639
Speaker 3: twenty four hours, over three hundred drones and cruise missiles

11
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 3: from Iran went into Israel. Now, to Israel's credit, the

12
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Iron Dome and its missile defense systems intercepted virtually all

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 3: of them. But it was the first direct attack on

14
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 3: Israel from Iran in history, and it is an extraordinary

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 3: escalation of what has been going on. This tragically is

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: the result of the Biden foreign policy of appeasement and

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 3: the entire Democrat Party backing away from Israel and sending

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 3: billions of dollars to Iran. In a very real sense,

19
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 3: the missiles that Iran fired at Israel were paid for

20
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 3: by the Biden administration. At this point, the safety and

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 3: security of the men and women in Israel, the men

22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,480
Speaker 3: and women in the Middle East, and potentially more broadly,

23
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 3: are all in jeopardy as the world waits with bated

24
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: breath to see what happens next.

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: It is shocking.

26
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 2: And I want to talk about that money aspect of

27
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: this that you just mentioned, the warnings that you have

28
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: made on this show multiple times. We're going to go

29
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 2: back through that, but first let me talk to you

30
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: real quick about your retirement. With inflation still well above

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,639
Speaker 2: the Fed's target rate, and the inflation rate now going

32
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: up over the last couple of weeks, there are more

33
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: people than ever that are looking to gold and silver

34
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: as a hedge against inflation. Gold and silver have historically

35
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: been great hedges against inflation and a great way to

36
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: protect your hard earned retirement funds. And when it comes

37
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: to buying gold and silver, it shouldn't be complicated, but

38
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: you do need a trust, a partner, and that's why

39
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,919

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: the money, and I've got a lot of questions that

59
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: i want to get to, so we're going to be

60
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: moving quickly. If you're taking notes, get ready when it

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: comes to the money. There are two things the Biden

62
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: administration has done that has helped the Iranian economy and

63
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: the Iranian ilatola commit these atrocites against Israel, and also

64
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: work with any terrorist organizations they want to support, whether

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: it's Amas or HESBLA, it doesn't really matter. Those two

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: things one or We do technically have sanctions on Iranian oil,

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: but we're not enforcing those. And we've also allowed direct

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: access to cash that Iran and can now grab that

69
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: we had basically seized and locked up. How much money

70
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: do they have now because of Biden's policies.

71
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: It is well one hundred billion dollars, but sadly been

72
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: there are a lot more than two things that they

73
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: have done. From the beginning, the Biden administration has simultaneously

74
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: flooded our enemies with cash. Their approach to every enemy

75
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: of America from day one has been appeasement and usually

76
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 3: in the form of billions of dollars. And simultaneously they

77
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,559
Speaker 3: have undermined our friends and allies and especially Israel again

78
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: from day one. Let's break them down, piece by piece.

79
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 3: To Iran itself, you have number one, sixteen billion dollars

80
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: in direct fund, six billion dollars that everyone talked about.

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: That was ransom for five Americans that was widely denounced

82
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: by me and many others. On top of that, there

83
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: was another ten billion dollars of money that was frozen

84
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: in Iraq that the Biden administration unfroze to allow to

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 3: flow back to Iran. That takes you up to sixteen

86
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: billion dollars. The biggest component is refusing to enforce oil

87
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 3: sanctions that has caused Iran in oil exports to skyrocket.

88
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 3: That is an excess of eighty billion dollars. We're going

89
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,719
Speaker 3: to come back back to that one in a minute,

90
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: but not just that. You have to understand the Biden

91
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 3: administration has lifted sanctions on Iran's proxies on the Huthis

92
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: in Yemen who were funded by Iran. If you look

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 3: at Gaza and Hamas that carried out the October seventh

94
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 3: terror attack, Hamas over ninety percent of its funding comes

95
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: from Iran. And what did Biden do. He sent hundreds

96
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 3: of millions of dollars into Gaza that went directly into

97
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: the hands of Hamas that in all likelihood was used

98
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 3: to finance Summer all of the October seventh terror attack.

99
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: The same thing is true with flooding money into Lebanon,

100
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: much of which ends up in the hands of Hesbela.

101
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: Hesbela again over ninety percent of its budget comes from Iran.

102
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: On top of that, even more amazingly, the Biden administration

103
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: allowed the UN sanctions, the international sanctions on missiles in Iran,

104
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 3: to expire. They did this in the midst of Iran

105
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: funding Hamas funding has Bela funding October seventh and launching

106
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 3: over one hundred attacks on US service men and women.

107
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: On October seventh, more than twelve hundred Israelis were murdered.

108
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 3: That included roughly thirty Americans who were murdered. We still

109
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 3: have American hostages, We still have Israeli hostages. Not only that,

110
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 3: we have three service men and women the Iranians have

111
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: murdered in their more than one hundred attacks. And what

112
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 3: does the Biden administration keep doing shoveling cash to this

113
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 3: theocratic lunatic Ayatola.

114
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 2: Senatri the Zionoa also chanced death to America. There's also

115
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: another problem, and that is that the weapons inspectors that

116
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: deal with nuclear weapons, they've been kicked out of Iran,

117
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 2: and yet we still have this Iranian nuclear deal. And

118
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: I can't believe for a second that Iran wouldn't use

119
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: a nuclear weapon if they have one or if they

120
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 2: get one, based on what they just did with this indiscriminate,

121
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 2: massive attack on Israel.

122
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 3: Well, we don't know if they have a nuclear weapon.

123
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 3: If they don't have one, they are very very close.

124
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: And they are very very close because Joe Biden has

125
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 3: flooded so much cash into them to put them in

126
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 3: a position to have this kind of money. Let's look

127
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: at oil exports, and I said, I wanted to come

128
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 3: back to this. So during the Trump administration, when President

129
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, which was

130
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: absolutely the right thing to do. At the time, Iran

131
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: was exporting roughly a million barrels of oil a day.

132
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 3: When Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, he

133
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 3: kept in place an oil waiver. That waiver allowed Iran

134
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: to continue selling a million barrels a day of oil.

135
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 3: I thought that was an enormous mistake. So once we

136
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 3: pulled out of the Obama Nuclear deal, I I pressed

137
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: President Trump repeatedly to end the oil waiver. There was

138
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: a fight between the State Department and the Energy Department.

139
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: The State Department under Trump wanted to keep the oil

140
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: waiver in place. They said that if we ended the

141
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: oil waiver, the price of oil and the price of

142
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: gasoline with skyrocket. The Department of Energy under Trump, which

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 3: presumably our experts and energy said, that's ridiculous. There's plenty

144
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 3: of global oil. This won't affect the price. As I said,

145
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 3: I leaned in repeatedly with Trump on Air Force one

146
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 3: in the Oval Office.

147
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: He agreed with me.

148
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 3: He overruled as Secretary of State Mike Mike Pompeo. He

149
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 3: ended the oil waivers. And it turns out we now

150
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: know that the Department of Energy was right in state

151
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: was wrong. That the Iranian oil exports cratered. They felled

152
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: roughly three hundred thousand barrels a day, but the price

153
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: of oil had barely a blip. It had a negligible effect. Well,

154
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 3: fast forward to Joe Biden coming into office. Joe Biden

155
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: came in office and almost immediately he stopped in forcing

156
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 3: those oil sanctions, and again almost immediately, as a direct result,

157
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: Iran's oil sanctions skyrocketed. Now at the time of October seventh,

158
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: do you know what Iran's oil exports were, or production.

159
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: Rather was what was it?

160
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 3: Two million barrels a day? Yeah, more than double what

161
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: it had been before the oil waivers were ended, nearly

162
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: eight times seven times what they were when Biden came

163
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 3: into office. Do do you know what their oil exports?

164
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 3: Their production is right now in April of twenty twenty four,

165
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 3: what is it? Three point four million barrels a day?

166
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 2: So let's talk cash. What type of cash are we

167
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: now dealing with it? They have their hands on because

168
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: we are not enforcing our embargo on their oil right now.

169
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 3: So we're looking at easily in excess of one hundred

170
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: billion dollars. Depends on the prices they're getting. They're selling

171
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: it primarily to the Chinese communists. You have to assume

172
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: they're selling it it's something of a discount. But even so,

173
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: this is easily one hundred billion dollars that Joe Biden

174
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 3: just handed to the Iatola. And mind you didn't just

175
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: hand before October seventh. After October seventh, he continues handing. Today.

176
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: Iran just launched all these missiles. You know what, Joe

177
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 3: Biden hadn't done anything to enforce the oil sanctions. The

178
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: number of three point four million barrels a day is

179
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 3: from right now, that's April of twenty twenty four. The

180
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,679
Speaker 3: Iatola is rolling in cash, which is why he can

181
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: afford to send three hundred roans and three hundred cruise missiles.

182
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 3: And I will tell you it is not just Biden.

183
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 3: This is one of the most important points. A lot

184
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 3: of folks focus on the squad. They focus on AOC

185
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: and Omar and to Leeb and the radicals in the House.

186
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 3: Those guys are a problem. Yes, they're rabidly anti Israel,

187
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: they make anti Semitic tropes constantly. But the problem is

188
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 3: not the fringe. The problem is the so called mainstream Democrats.

189
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 3: Is Joe Biden, The problem is Chuck Schumer. The problem

190
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 3: is Nancy Pelosi. After October seventh, just recently, just a

191
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, I forced a vote on the

192
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: Senate floor to bar the Biden administration from sending billions

193
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 3: of dollars to Iran. Now, this should be easy. Iran

194
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 3: funded October seventh. Iran is still actively trying to kill

195
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 3: US servicemen and women. Iran is still trying to actively

196
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,079
Speaker 3: murder former US senior officials, including Mike Pompeo, the former

197
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 3: Secretary of State, including John Bolton, the former National Security Advisor,

198
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 3: including Brian Hook, the former Assistant Secretary of State. I

199
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: forced to vote on the Senate floor every single Democrat,

200
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 3: all of them except Bob Benendez. Every Democrat but one

201
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 3: voted no. They voted to continue sending Iran billions of dollars.

202
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: That was just a couple of weeks ago.

203
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 2: So you look at the cash and then let's move

204
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 2: to the second part here, and that is is all right?

205
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: So their UNS and the Security Council emergency meeting right now,

206
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 2: they're demanding that Israel show restraint. We're also getting reporting

207
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: now from Axios that Biden told apparently Netanyahu the US

208
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: won't support an Israeli counterattack on his Iran, which is

209
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: unfortunately not shocking.

210
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 1: I actually you talked about this.

211
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 2: It's very clear now actions speak louder than words in

212
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: this present and the Biden administration and their foreign policy

213
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 2: is Israel bad. Everybody else can do what they want

214
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: to do. What is a response now going to be

215
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 2: when you go back to Washington this week and you

216
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: can't say, hey, we need to put sanctions on Ranio. Oh,

217
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: We've already done that, So do you say we want

218
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: to enforce it? And what about the White House?

219
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 3: Well, the Biden Administration's message and the message of every

220
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: Democrat in Congress is there is no military solution for

221
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 3: our allies. But our enemies are allowed to win. Our

222
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 3: enemies are allowed to attack, an attack, and attack, and

223
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 3: our allies have to do nothing about it. Understand the

224
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: money that they fled to Iran, you know who, They're

225
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 3: not flooding money to Israel.

226
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

227
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 3: Remember, there's a fourteen billion dollar Israel aid package came

228
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 3: out of the House of Representatives. And what did Chuck

229
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 3: Schumer do. He refused to allow a vote on it.

230
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: He blocked it.

231
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,079
Speaker 3: He said, we will not vote on this unless it's

232
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: tied to Ukraine and the rest of the Democrat priorities. Now,

233
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: if you'll recall, several months ago, I and several other

234
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 3: Republicans forced a vote on emergency military aid Israel on

235
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: the Senate floor. We released yesterday on Sunday that podcast

236
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: that we did several months ago describing exactly what happened.

237
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 3: We put that out as a bonus pod because it

238
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 3: is incredibly relevant. Now, if you didn't listen to yesterday's podcast,

239
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 3: you got to go back and listen to it. The

240
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: day of that vote was the day of the March

241
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 3: for Israel. There were worth three hundred thousand people that

242
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: came to the mall that were out there marching in

243
00:13:58,800 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: support of Israel.

244
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: I was there.

245
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 3: I was on the mall, marching in support for Israel.

246
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: A number of Democrat senators were there, including Democrat senators.

247
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: Jackie Rosen, Democrat from Nevada, was on the stage speaking

248
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 3: in support of Israel. Immediately after that march, I and

249
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: several other Republican senators, we forced a vote on emergency

250
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: military aid to Israel. Chuck Schumer was furious. We used

251
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 3: a parliamentary technique that's called a rogue cloture petition, which

252
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 3: is a method that the minority can seize control of

253
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: the floor.

254
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: It's rare to use, and frankly.

255
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 3: Schumer was sloppy as majority leader to let us use it,

256
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: but we succeeded in using it, and we forced that vote.

257
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 3: Every single Democrat, all of them, with no exceptions, voted

258
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 3: against emergency military aid to Israel. They literally left a

259
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: march for Israel, came back and said no money for Israel.

260
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: None.

261
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: And by the way, their stated justification was because the

262
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 3: House had paid for it by removing that money from

263
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 3: the eighty billion dollars the Democrats had given to hire

264
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 3: eighty seven thousand new IRS agents. So because instead the

265
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 3: IRS was only getting sixty sixty six billion instead of

266
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: eighty billion. The Democrats said, no, we care more about

267
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 3: adding IRS agents than we do about supporting Israel against

268
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 3: our terrorist enemies. Now, I will say, in the last

269
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 3: twenty four hours, Chuck Schumer sent out a tweet saying,

270
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: we stand strongly with Israel. We will have your backs,

271
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 3: to which I immediately responded, well, I'm glad you're saying

272
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: that because you're the one who blocked emergency military aid

273
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: to Israel, and every single Democrat senator voted with you.

274
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: So you know what we ought to do today Monday.

275
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 3: We ought to come back and we ought to take

276
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 3: that bill up and we ought to pass emergency military

277
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: aid to Israel. I'm confident the House is going to

278
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: do that again. The House is going to send it

279
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: to us, and we'll see what the Democrats do. My

280
00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: suspicion is the Democrats will line up as they did before,

281
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: to say no, no, no, no, no. We only give money to

282
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: the enemies of America. We only give money to Iran,

283
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 3: we only give money to Hamas, we only give money

284
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,120
Speaker 3: to people who want to kill us, our actual friends

285
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 3: we won't give money to. But you know what, every

286
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: Democrat will have a chance to put action to their words.

287
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: A bunch of Democrats have been tweeting out right now

288
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: we stand with Israel, Well, talk's cheap. Are you willing

289
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 3: to fund the response? And we know that Biden's answer

290
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 3: is lee at least as is being widely reported, as

291
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: he told Dan Yahoo, do not attack, do not strike back,

292
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: take the win. He said, what a bizarre can you

293
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 3: imagine if America, if somebody fired three hundred missiles in

294
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: America and some foreign leader called up the US president said, hey,

295
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: take the win the missiles. You guys were able to

296
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 3: intercept them, so people didn't die. Just say well, we're

297
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: fine and do nothing. I mean, that's that's what Biden

298
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 3: is saying, the Israel do nothing.

299
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 2: Believe you even saw this on TV today. There was

300
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 2: many of the commentators on TV that we're saying exactly that, Well,

301
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: if this's a big success and a big test for

302
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: the Iron Dome, and it's clear that Israel can defend itself,

303
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 2: and there's no reason to escalate this because now, and

304
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: this was set on TV today, I think it was

305
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 2: on CBS. They literally said so because now you got

306
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: to assume this is their words that Iran is probably

307
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: out of them, out of missiles, and couldn't do the

308
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: same type of attack today even if they wanted to,

309
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 2: So therefore Israel should do nothing, just celebrate the win.

310
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: At every stage, Biden and Schumer and the Democrats have

311
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: had the same message. Number one, no matter what Iran does,

312
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 3: no matter what our enemies do, they want to keep

313
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,239
Speaker 3: sending the money. I generally, I genuinely do not understand it.

314
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: It's pathological when someone chance death to America and death

315
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 3: to Israel. My reaction is not I'm going to send

316
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 3: you money. That apparently is Joe Biden, Dan's reaction, Chuck

317
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 3: Schuber's reaction, that apparently is Nancy Pelosi's reaction, and that's

318
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 3: every other Democrat's reaction. I don't get that. But secondly,

319
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: at every stage, their position has been to Israel, don't

320
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: defend yourself, don't do anything. Remember when October seventh was happening,

321
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 3: Literally at three in the morning on the day of

322
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: October seventh, when the bodies of the twelve hundred Israelis

323
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: who had been murdered were still warm, the Biden State

324
00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 3: Department tweeted out urging Israel not to retaliate. This is

325
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,400
Speaker 3: after the murder of twelve hundred civilians, This is after

326
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: the rape of women and children, this is after infants

327
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: were slaughtered. The position of the Biden State Department was

328
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: do not retaliate. I blasted that at three in the morning,

329
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 3: and thankfully they deleted it. They realized, oh, we can't

330
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 3: say this quite yet, but to be clear. The next day,

331
00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 3: that would be October eighth, Tony Blinken, with his own

332
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 3: Twitter account, sent out another tweet saying he had just

333
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 3: talked with a Turkish foreign minister and Israel should not retaliate.

334
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,119
Speaker 3: That was their message. The day after, again I blasted

335
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,719
Speaker 3: the Biden State Department. Again they deleted that tweet. There

336
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 3: were two tweets within twenty four hours of the October

337
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 3: seventh massacre, and the immediate knee jerk reaction of Biden

338
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 3: was do not retaliate. Do not retaliate now. What have

339
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: they said every day since then? Their position has been stop,

340
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: we need a ceasefire, We need a pause. Stop killing hamas,

341
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 3: stop killing terrorist, stop going after the bad guy. Now,

342
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 3: their position after Iran launches three hundred missiles and drones

343
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 3: into Israel, do not retaliate we will not support you.

344
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 3: It is asinine. And you asked what Congress is doing, Well,

345
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you one thing. This coming week, We've got

346
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 3: a mark up in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and

347
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: I've got a number of Iran related amendments that I've

348
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 3: already filed. I have one that I'm looking to get

349
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: a vote on to sanction all Hamas members. I have

350
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 3: another to sanction the Huthis for using Iranian missiles. I

351
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: have another amendment to sanction the IRGC in Iran for

352
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 3: using Iranian missiles against the United States. I have another

353
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 3: one to tag Iran's vessels to shut down their oil money.

354
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 3: And I have another one that says no suspending sanctions

355
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,919
Speaker 3: to send money to Gaza. I got to tell you,

356
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: I think I know what's going to happen. We're going

357
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 3: to see the Democrats vote against those amendments because their

358
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: position is, no matter how much you hate America, no

359
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 3: matter how many Jews you kill, no matter how many

360
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: Americans you kill, we the Democrats will keep sending him money.

361
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible. Let me tell you about our friends

362
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 2: over at Patriot Mobile. If you are like me and

363
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: you want to make sure that you're not giving your

364
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: money to woke companies, corporations and are fighting against your values.

365
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: Then your cell phone bill is the first place you

366
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 2: need to look. Every month you pay that bill, and

367
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: you may not realize that the big mobile gives massive

368
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: donations to democratic causes, candidates, and organizations including Planned Parenthood. Now,

369
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 2: when I found that out, I had to find an alternative,

370
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: and that's when I found Patriot Mobile. They've been in

371
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 2: business for more than ten years. And here's the part

372
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: that you're going to like. You get the exact same

373
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 2: coverage that you have right now. Yes, the same coverage

374
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 2: you have right now is what you're going to get

375
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: because they use the same exact towers. Now you're also

376
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: probably going to save money on your bill. But here's

377
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 2: the part that I love the most. When I pay

378
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 2: my bill every single month, this is what happens. They

379
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: take about five percent of that bill and they actually

380
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 2: give it back to conservative causes and organizations that support

381
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 2: our First and Second Amendment rights, support the rights of

382
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 2: unborn children as well, And that is why I love

383
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. So vote with your dollars and make a

384
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,119

392
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 2: quick about the United Nations. It seems very clear that

393
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 2: the United Nations is hanging Israel out to drive Israel

394
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: calls for new sanctions on Iran, and the UN Security

395
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: Council apparently said, you guys better be careful what your

396
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: response is. Not really worried about Israel, but worried about

397
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 2: what they may do in response protecting Iran.

398
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Well, that's exactly right.

399
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 3: As we're sitting here today, it is a few minutes

400
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 3: before midnight, Sunday night, and there's an Emergency Security Council

401
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 3: meeting going on as we speak, and Israel called it.

402
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 3: Israel called it seeking to discuss to force a vote

403
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 3: to urge the United Nations to impose sanctions on Iran

404
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 3: in response to the attack. And the response to that

405
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 3: is the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres,

406
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 3: told the Council that it was quote time to step

407
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: back from the brink, and that its members had the

408
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 3: collective responsibility quote to actively engage all parties concerned to

409
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 3: prevent further escalation. You notice they never say this about Hamas,

410
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: They never say this about Iran. It's always Israel. Just

411
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 3: don't retaliate. Just take people mass murdering your citizens, Just

412
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 3: take missiles being fired into your cities if you look

413
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: at it. So on Sunday, both Israel's and Iran's ambassadors

414
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 3: gave fiery comments that Israel's ambassador said that Iran's attack

415
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 3: had quote crossed every red line and that Israel reserved

416
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 3: the right to retaliate, and he urged the UN to

417
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,919
Speaker 3: take severe actions, including crippling sanctions. And here's one thing

418
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 3: he said, quote the fact that Israel's air defense proved

419
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: to be superior does not change the brutality of Iran's attack.

420
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 3: Iran's ambassador, on the other hand, argued that Iran had

421
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 3: a quote inherent right to self defense after Israel's attack

422
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 3: on its diplomatic compound, and understand Iran is very upset

423
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 3: that Israel, in fighting back, took out a senior general

424
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: in several Iran military officials. But understand, Iran is who

425
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: funded October seventh, Iran is who funds Hamas, Iran is

426
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 3: who trained the Hamas terrorists, and so Iran has this

427
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 3: very strange view that it can pay people to attack

428
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 3: and murder other countries and not have them strike back.

429
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 3: The Iranian ambassador said, Iran quote does not seek escalation

430
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,920
Speaker 3: or war in the region, but that if his interest

431
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 3: came under attack, it would quote respond to any such

432
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: aggressions vigorously and an accordance with international law. Nothing Iran

433
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 3: does is in accordance with international law. Now, Robert Wood,

434
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 3: who is a US representative of the United Nations, told

435
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 3: the Security Council that the Biden administration said quot vote,

436
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 3: the US is not seeking escalation. Our actions have been

437
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 3: defensive in nature. The US goal is to de escalate

438
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,680
Speaker 3: and then get back to securing an end to the

439
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:17,119
Speaker 3: to the war and the Gaza strip. This is now.

440
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: On the other hand, you know who argued in favor

441
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:21,959
Speaker 3: of Iran.

442
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:23,199
Speaker 2: Who is that?

443
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 3: Russia and China. And let's be clear when I said

444
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: that Joe Biden. The Democrats have a policy of giving

445
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 3: billions of dollars to our enemies. That's not just Iran,

446
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 3: it's not just Hamas, it's not just Hesbela. They also

447
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 3: give billions of dollars to Venezuela. They also give billions

448
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 3: of dollars to China, and they've also given billions of

449
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: dollars to Russia. You know, the Democrats love to talk

450
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,880
Speaker 3: about Russia, but we've talked a lot on this podcast

451
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 3: about the nord Stream two pipeline, which I authored, the

452
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 3: bipartisan sanctions that shut the nord Stream two pipeline down.

453
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 3: Donald Trump signed those sanctions into law, and Joe Biden,

454
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 3: when he came into office, waived those sanctions, gave Vladimir

455
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 3: Putin billions and billions of dollars that effectively caused the

456
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: war in Ukraine. And when I forced to vote in

457
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 3: January of twenty twenty two to reimpose those sanctions on Russia,

458
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: forty four Democrats flipped their votes. They had voted with

459
00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 3: me previously and voted in favor of Russia and Putin In,

460
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: giving them billions of dollars, and within a month Russia

461
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: invaded Ukraine. So this is a pattern over and over again.

462
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 3: And by the way, Russia is actively in Iran helping

463
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 3: them with nuclear technology.

464
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: One of another area that I battled.

465
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 2: Oh, say that again, that's big news.

466
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: It is big news. So Russia and Iran have a

467
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:47,719
Speaker 3: very close relationship. I mentioned when Trump pulled out of

468
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: the Obama nuclear deal, there was an oil waiver. There

469
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 3: were also what were called civilian nuclear waivers, and there

470
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 3: were seven civilian nuclear waivers that remained in place. I

471
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 3: argued vociferously, we should end the civilian nuclear waivers.

472
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:04,640
Speaker 1: Now.

473
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 3: Once again, the State Department, and I will say the

474
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 3: State Department has a long history of being wrong, especially

475
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: under Biden, but sadly with some frequency under Trump. The

476
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 3: State Department argued, no, no, no, no, don't end the civilian

477
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: nuclear waivers. Well, Trump agreed with me. He overruled his

478
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 3: own State Department.

479
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: He ended them.

480
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 3: Among those civilian nuclear waivers, they were allowing Russia to

481
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: work with Iranian nuclear scientists to develop nuclear technology in

482
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: an underground bunker called Fordoh which is underneath a mountain,

483
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: and it's built under a mountain precisely to be able

484
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 3: to develop nuclear weapons, so that it would be harder

485
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 3: to take out in a military conflict. Now, what happened

486
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 3: when Joe Biden came into office. He immediately reimposed the

487
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,719
Speaker 3: civilian nuclear waivers. So we've literally got Russia that is

488
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: providing nuclear technology to Iran. By the way, this is

489
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 3: a quid pro quo. Iran may drones is a critical

490
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: weapons supplier to Russia. So understand when Biden is flowing

491
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 3: one hundred billion dollars now more than one hundred billion

492
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 3: dollars to Iran. They're using them to make drones and

493
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 3: to make cruise missiles to attack Israel. They're using them

494
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 3: to make weapons to attack US servicemen and women. They're

495
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: using them to fund Hamas and Hesbela to murder Israelis

496
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 3: and murder Americans. But on top of that, they're manufacturing

497
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 3: enormous numbers of drones that are going to the Russians,

498
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 3: and the Russians are using to fight the Ukrainians. This

499
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: is a pattern. If you are an enemy of America,

500
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 3: lucky you because Joe Biden the Democrats will give you

501
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: billions of dollars.

502
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: There's some new reporting that's just come out as well

503
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 2: from Politico, and it says the US to Israel don't

504
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 2: do something you'll regret it, says quote. The Biden administration's

505
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: main message for Israel following an attack that is massive

506
00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: their quote aerial assault, comes down to this stop and think.

507
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 2: Officials expect Israel to respond in some fashion to Saturday's

508
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 2: massive strike, but in both public and private ways, they

509
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 2: are taking steps they hope will convince Israel to choose

510
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 2: a limited response as opposed to an all out armed

511
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: counter attack, the latter they feel will plunge the region

512
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 2: into a major war. In President Joe Biden, in particular,

513
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 2: quote wants to avoid any battle that could drag in

514
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 2: US troops, and he made that clear to Israeli's Prime

515
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 2: Minster net Netnyahu's saying quote, this is again we're advising

516
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 2: him to take a breath before responding. A US official

517
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 2: familiar with the Middle East one of ten people granted

518
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 2: aminity to freely discuss closed door diplomacy. If Israel does respond, quote,

519
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 2: it needs to be proportional and bring this cycle to

520
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 2: an In Senator, this may be the biggest pipe dream

521
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 2: I've ever heard of. Bring this cycle to an end.

522
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 2: What makes you think that Iran would just stop now?

523
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 2: Knowing that they can basically get away with literally murder.

524
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,280
Speaker 3: The only way to bring the cycle to an end

525
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 3: is number one, to take away the resources from the

526
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 3: Iranian regime that are funding these terror attacks. It's why look,

527
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: during the whole Trump administration, I was deeply involved in

528
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 3: pressing the administration to enforce what was called the maximum

529
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: Pressure strategy, to put the maximum pressure to defund the

530
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 3: Iranian regime, and it succeeded. Understand, when Joe Biden came

531
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 3: into office, the Iranian economy was in shambles. They were

532
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: facing rampant inflation, rampant unemployment, they were facing unrest in

533
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 3: the streets. The regime was in danger of being toppled,

534
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 3: and very few things would be better for the safety

535
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 3: of America and the safety of the world than for

536
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: these theocratic lunatics to be out of power. Part of

537
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 3: the problem is if God forbid, the Iyatola had a

538
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 3: nuclear weapon. It's one thing when you have tyrants who

539
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: are secular who have weapons of mass destructions. It's another

540
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 3: thing when you have people who are motivated by religion

541
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 3: that glorifies death and suicide. That means the ordinary cost

542
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 3: benefit analysis doesn't necessarily work. And I want to share

543
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 3: something that was put out recently by the Institute for

544
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 3: the Study of War, and it's an analysis of the attack,

545
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 3: and I want to read. It's a nine part tweet

546
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600
Speaker 3: thread that I think is actually worth worth reading in full.

547
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 3: The Iranian April thirteenth missile drone attack on Israel was

548
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: very likely intended to cause significant damage below the threshold

549
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 3: that would trigger a massive Israeli response. The attack was

550
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: designed to succeed, not to fail.

551
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: And that's in bold. Here's the second tweet.

552
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 3: The strike package was modeled on those the Russians have

553
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: used repeatedly against Ukraine to great effect. The strike consisted

554
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 3: of approximately one hundred and seventy drones, thirty cruise missiles,

555
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 3: and one hundred and twenty ballistic missiles. The drones were

556
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 3: launched well before the ballistic missiles were fired, very likely

557
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,239
Speaker 3: in the expectation that they would arrive in Israel's air

558
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: defense window at about the same time as the cruise

559
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 3: missiles and drones. The Russians have used such an approach

560
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: against Ukraine repeatedly. Only a few ballistic missiles penetrated Israeli

561
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 3: air defenses and struck near Israeli military bases. Out of

562
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: the one hundred and twenty or so the Iranians fired.

563
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 3: Ukrainian air defenses have averaged interception rates of only about

564
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: forty six percent of Russian ballistic missiles during recent large strikes.

565
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 3: The Iranians likely expected that Israeli rates would be higher

566
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: than the Ukrainian rates, but not above ninety percent against

567
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 3: such a large but ballistic missile salvo. The Russians, after all,

568
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 3: have never fired close to that many large ballistic missiles

569
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: in a single strike against Ukraine. Israel's air defense system

570
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: has several obvious advantages over Ukrainian air defense, but the

571
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 3: full implications of some of those advantages might well have

572
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: been unclear to Iranian strike planners. Ukraine has in particular,

573
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: been unable to use combat aircraft to shoot down Russian

574
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 3: drones and cruise missiles at scale, and Ukrainian President Zelenski

575
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 3: recently observed that Kiev will likely use the F sixteens

576
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 3: Ukraine will receive this summer. In those roles. Iran will

577
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: learn additional lessons from the failed attack that it can

578
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 3: leverage to launch more successful attacks in the future.

579
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 2: So you look at all of that and then you

580
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: see this that just came out from the National Security

581
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Council statement on Iranian attacks on Israel, and I'm quoting

582
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: it says President Biden has been clear. Our support for

583
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 2: is iss security is ironclad. The US will stand with

584
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: the people of Israel and support their defense against these

585
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 2: threats from Iran.

586
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 1: Okay, senter.

587
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 2: If that's true, then they have to give them what

588
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 2: they need this week.

589
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: Am I wrong?

590
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,680
Speaker 3: Well, if there was anything like coherence and logic, then yes.

591
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 3: And Number one, I'm going to predict right now, Chuck

592
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 3: Schumer is going to do everything he can to block

593
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 3: a vote on emergency military aid to Israel. I've called

594
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: on it, I forced her already once. My guess is

595
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 3: that he will put in place parliamentary tools to prevent

596
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,280
Speaker 3: us from using the same technique again.

597
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: And I think the.

598
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 3: House, we've seen the Speaker of the House and the

599
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 3: Majority leader both say that they're going to vote out

600
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 3: an emergency military aid bill this week, So we'll get

601
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 3: another one that comes over to us, and my prediction

602
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 3: is the Democrats won't back it. They don't want to

603
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: send military aid to Israel. And part of the problem

604
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 3: is they've got a crisis in their caucus, and their

605
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: crisis is that the radicals, the teleibs and omars, they

606
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: more and more represent the mainstream of the Democrat Party,

607
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 3: and so Schumer is terrified of Michigan. Biden is terrified

608
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 3: of Michigan. They're terrified of the radicals, and so they

609
00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 3: may put out statements. But remember this is the same

610
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,320
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer that not long ago stood on the Senate

611
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: floor and demanded that Israel's elected prime minister be thrown

612
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 3: out of office. He decided that Israel, alone, among all

613
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 3: our allies, was not allowed to elect their leaders. Every

614
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 3: other country. You know, Schumer hasn't called for the leader

615
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 3: of Iran to step down. He hasn't called for the

616
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 3: leader of Hamas or China, or Rushier of Venezuela or

617
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 3: North Korea. If you're an enemy of America, nope, Chuck

618
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 3: Schumer and the Democrats they're giving you money. But if

619
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 3: you're our ally, what will Schumer say? How dare you

620
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 3: be in office? We need an appeaser just like us.

621
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 2: The world may be up in flames right now, biden

622
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,399
Speaker 2: Omics may be a to disaster, but you don't have

623
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,239

Speaker 2: start my radio show every day seven am and I

625
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 2: gotta have energy, and I got to be awake, and

626
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 2: I gotta be ready to talk about the big news

627
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 2: of the day. And that's why I start my day

628
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 2: off with a hot America first cup of Blackout Coffee. Now,

629
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 2: I just got a new shipment of Blackout Coffee, and

630
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, they have a flavored coffee. If you

631
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 2: like flavor coffee that is cinnamon. Oh my goodness, it

632
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:30,279
Speaker 2: is one of the best cup of coffees I've ever

657
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 2: Want to ask you about bb You just mentioned I

658
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 2: was going to go there that the Senate majority leader

659
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 2: said he should step down. There's been a lot of

660
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 2: people in the media that have been really attacking him,

661
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 2: saying that he is a warmonger, that he's that he's

662
00:37:57,120 --> 00:37:59,320
Speaker 2: a killer, that he should not be the president, he

663
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 2: should not be in charge. I don't believe we're going

664
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 2: to see any of that stop, but at least in

665
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 2: the Middle East right now and specifically in Israel. How

666
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 2: important is his leadership.

667
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 3: It's extraordinarily important. I will say I'm blessed to know

668
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 3: Prime Minister Netanyah, who very well. I think he is

669
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 3: a remarkable man. When he came and addressed a joint

670
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 3: session of Congress, and that this was during the Obama administration,

671
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,239
Speaker 3: it was on the verge of Obama pushing through the

672
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 3: Iran nuclear deal at the time, and this was a

673
00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 3: decade ago. Multiple Democrats boycotted the speech. They refused to

674
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 3: listen to him speak. The Democrats hatred for Benjamin Netanyah,

675
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 3: who is nothing new, and understand that when he was

676
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 3: re elected Prime Minister Joe Biden made clear he was

677
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 3: not welcome in the White House, that he would not

678
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 3: be invited in the White House. He could not come

679
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: to the White House. This is long before October seventh,

680
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 3: This is long before the war in Gaza. They hate

681
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:07,160
Speaker 3: Natan Yahoo, but understand they undermine every Israeli government. They

682
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 3: have done so from the very first days of this administration.

683
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 3: But net Yahoo, they have a particular loathing too, because

684
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: he actually understands the gravity of the threat he is facing.

685
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 3: He understands that when the Ayahtola says death to Israel,

686
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:26,279
Speaker 3: he's not playing around. He actually means it. When he

687
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:29,800
Speaker 3: says death to America, he's not playing around. He actually

688
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 3: means it. And listen, I've been blessed. In twelve years

689
00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 3: in the Senate, I've met many world leaders. That's one

690
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 3: of the most incredible parts of the jobs. You get

691
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 3: to sit down with people that are leading our friends,

692
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 3: leading other countries, leading our competitors. There is no world

693
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: leader who has impressed me more. There's no world leader

694
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,440
Speaker 3: who frankly has taken my breath away more than Benjamin

695
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: Netanyaho because he has a seriousness of purpose. He is

696
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 3: the only world leader reader for whom I have used

697
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: the adjective Churchillian. In my office in DC, I have

698
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 3: three busts. I have a bust of Ronald Reagan, I

699
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: have a bust of Churchill, and I have a bust

700
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 3: of doctor Martin Luther King Jr. And I have those

701
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 3: three busts because they are all men who had extraordinary vision.

702
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 3: They faced remarkable challenges. They saw a world that was

703
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 3: better than the world they were living in, and their

704
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 3: vision helped bring the world to a better place. With

705
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 3: extraordinary courage, and clarity, And I have to tell you,

706
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: I think net Nyah who has that same courage and clarity. Now,

707
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,840
Speaker 3: it is not my role to tell the people of

708
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 3: Israel who their prime minister should be. So when Netanyahu

709
00:40:48,040 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 3: was prime minister, when I started in the Senate, I

710
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 3: dealt with him because he was the leader, the elected

711
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 3: leader of Israel. When the people of Israel elected, enough

712
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 3: tolly about it, I dealt with him. Whomever the people

713
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: of Israel elect, I will deal with the elected leader.

714
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 3: But the people of Israel re elected Benjamin Netnaho, and

715
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 3: I respect the choice of the people of Israel. There

716
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 3: is an arrogance in Democrat foreign policy but also in

717
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 3: some Republican foreign policy that they think they can meddle

718
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 3: in the internal politics of foreign nations and especially our

719
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 3: friends and allies, that they can do what Chuck Schumer did,

720
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 3: which is tell the people of Israel, tis tisk, you

721
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 3: have no business electing net Yah who throw them out now?

722
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: And they treat them like the voters, the people of

723
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 3: Israel like the red haired step children. It is ridiculous.

724
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 3: It's much like. Look, there have been long debates in

725
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 3: Washington about a two state solution, and that they're Every

726
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,280
Speaker 3: Democrat says we must have a two state solution. Many

727
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 3: Republicans say we must have a two state solution.

728
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 1: My view on that.

729
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: Is that's a decision for the people of Israel to make.

730
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 3: They care acutely about their security. If the people of

731
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 3: Israel decide that a two state solution is workable, I

732
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,480
Speaker 3: respect that decision. If they decide it's not because the

733
00:42:11,680 --> 00:42:15,320
Speaker 3: terrorists with whom they are dealing, the Hamas and Hesbela,

734
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 3: will not accept Israel's right to exist and will wage

735
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 3: war on them, I respect that decision as well, And

736
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 3: so I will say when it comes to Prime Minister

737
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 3: net and Yahoo, it's the choice of the people of

738
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 3: Israel that he should be their leader. I respect their choice.

739
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I think he is a

740
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,880
Speaker 3: leader who understands the seriousness of these threats and is

741
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 3: not cowed by the aggression of Hamas or Hesbela, or

742
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 3: Iran or anyone else. He is bound and determined to

743
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 3: protect the people of Israel.

744
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 2: This week is going to be a very important week.

745
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 2: We're going to be covering it for you on Wednesday Friday,
