Speaker 1: There are some shocking news and headlines that are now
Speaker 1: hitting and I want you to know exactly what's going on.
Speaker 1: We are now being told that the United States of
Speaker 1: America is preparing for a significant Iran attack on the
Speaker 1: US or Israeli assets in the region as soon as
Speaker 1: next week. This is coming as the White House has
Speaker 1: said that we need to actually go easier on Hamas,
Speaker 1: which is backed by Iran. Now this coming out of Washington,
Speaker 1: and it says that the US is on high alert
Speaker 1: and actively preparing for a quote unquote significant attack that
Speaker 1: could come as soon as within the next week by
Speaker 1: Iran targeting Israel or American assets in the region in
Speaker 1: response to Monday's Israeli strike in Damascus that killed a
Speaker 1: top Iranian commander. A senior Administration official has now leaked
Speaker 1: to CNN. Now the senior US officials currently believe an
Speaker 1: attack by Iran is its inevitable. Have you shared by
Speaker 1: their Israeli counterparts. Officials have confirmed the two governments are
Speaker 1: furiously working to get in position ahead of what is
Speaker 1: to come, as they anticipate that Iran's attack could unfold
Speaker 1: in a number of different ways, and that both US
Speaker 1: and Israeli assets and personnel are at risk of being targeted.
Speaker 1: A forthcoming Iranian attack was a major topic of discussion,
Speaker 1: apparently on President Joe Biden's phone call with the Israeli
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Netan Yahoo on Thursday that was also leaked
Speaker 1: from the call. Now, as of Friday, the two governments
Speaker 1: did not know when or how Iran planned to strike back,
Speaker 1: but the Intel does say that a major attack is imminent.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: A direct strike on Israel by Iran is one of
Speaker 1: the worst case scenarios that the Biden administration is bracing for,
Speaker 1: as it would guarantee rapid escalation of an already tumultuous
Speaker 1: situation in the Middle East. We know that Iran was
Speaker 1: heavily involved in the attack on Israel, and they helped
Speaker 1: fund as well as train Hamas fighters for that Barbarica attack,
Speaker 1: so it wouldn't be that far out of line to
Speaker 1: think that Iran would actually directly strike Israel at this point. Now,
Speaker 1: such a strike could lead to the Israel Hamas war
Speaker 1: broadening into a wider regional conflict, something that Joe Biden
Speaker 1: has long sought, he says, to avoid. It has now
Speaker 1: been two months since Iranian proxies attacked US forces as
Speaker 1: well in Iraq and also in Syria. A period of
Speaker 1: relative stability after months of drone, rocket and missile launches
Speaker 1: that targeted US facilities in America, continued to not respond.
Speaker 1: The lone exception, however, came on Tuesday, when US forces
Speaker 1: shot down a drone near an area in Syria where
Speaker 1: American troops were The drone attack, which the Defense Department
Speaker 1: said was carried out by Iranian proxies, came after the
Speaker 1: Israeli strike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus. Saying this,
Speaker 1: we assais that the Al tomp was not the target
Speaker 1: of the drone, a Defense official said, since we were
Speaker 1: unable to immediately determine the target and out of safety
Speaker 1: for US and coalition partners, the drone was in fact
Speaker 1: shot down. So this is part of the problem you
Speaker 1: have with the foreign policy of the Biden administration. We've
Speaker 1: been taking fire, literally, and our American targets have been
Speaker 1: taking fire, and our American soldiers have been taking fire
Speaker 1: from Iran for months on end, and we have continued
Speaker 1: to not respond. And so what has that done. That's
Speaker 1: emboldened them to actually continue to get even broader in
Speaker 1: their attacks and go bigger in their attacks because America
Speaker 1: has not responded. Why because Joe Biden doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be brought into a conflict. Well, Iran knew that in
Speaker 1: their assessment, and they made it very clear early on
Speaker 1: that they could test America. When we didn't respond, what
Speaker 1: do they do? They ratcheted up their attacks. Now, the
Speaker 1: incident came after the Israeli airstrike on the Iranian embassy
Speaker 1: and Damascus on Monday, though it is barely Defense forces
Speaker 1: spokesman told CNN that their intelligence showed the building was
Speaker 1: not a consulate and is instead of military building, which
Speaker 1: actually makes sense. Iran does this quite often. It's very
Speaker 1: smart move. It's the same thing that Hamas does, same
Speaker 1: thing that the Palestinians do in Gaza. They act like
Speaker 1: at place as a hospital, and below it they have
Speaker 1: massive ammunition dumps and terraces that sleep there and tunnels
Speaker 1: coming to and from that hospital. We see this in schools,
Speaker 1: resist in and old folks homes resist, in baby formula factories.
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on, and Iran does this
Speaker 1: and so does Hamas. Now, Israel has carried out numerous
Speaker 1: strikes on Iran back targets in Syria, often targeting weapons
Speaker 1: shipments intended specifically for Hesbelah, which then are going to
Speaker 1: be used, obviously to try to kill Jews. A powerful
Speaker 1: Iranian proxy in Lebanon is where Hesbelah has been holding
Speaker 1: on to as they have been given cover by Lebanon
Speaker 1: as well, but the targeting of the embassy itself marked
Speaker 1: a significant quote escalation, since embassies are considered the sovereign
Speaker 1: territory of the nation they represent. Iran vowed to take
Speaker 1: revenge after Israeli airstrikes on Iran's embassy complex in Syria,
Speaker 1: which killed at least seven officials. A top commander in
Speaker 1: Iran's Elite Revolutionary Guard and a senior commander Muhammad, were
Speaker 1: among those killed, according to Iran's foreign minister. At least
Speaker 1: six Syrian civilians, they say were also killed. Iranian state
Speaker 1: television putting propaganda out making it look like everyone involved
Speaker 1: was somehow innocent that we do know was not true.
Speaker 1: We also know that a former commander of the IRGC's
Speaker 1: Ground forces, Air Force and the deputy commander of its
Speaker 1: operation and the most high profile Iranian target that has
Speaker 1: been killed since US President Donald Trump ordered the assassination
Speaker 1: of Solamani and Baghdad in twenty twenty. And guess what
Speaker 1: when we did that, they didn't come back with some big,
Speaker 1: massive counter attack because they knew not to screw with America.
Speaker 1: So what is changed now, Well, what's changed is you
Speaker 1: have a weak president that's not willing to fight the
Speaker 1: bad guys, the terrorists. Instead, he seems to be taking
Speaker 1: order from the terrorists. And also the radicals in America
Speaker 1: are saying that they want to stand by and defend
Speaker 1: Hamas and the Palestinians. Now, the US was quick to
Speaker 1: inform Iran that the Biden administration quote unquote was not
Speaker 1: involved and had no advanced knowledge of Monday's strike on
Speaker 1: the embassy, and as Warren Iran against coming after American assets,
Speaker 1: saying this, the United States had no involvement in the
Speaker 1: strike and we did not know about it ahead of time,
Speaker 1: which is also a weird thing to say, because if
Speaker 1: they would have known about it ahead of time, my
Speaker 1: question is what they have called Iran and told them
Speaker 1: That's basically what they're implying is, Hey, we didn't know
Speaker 1: about it, and if we did, we would have told
Speaker 1: you about it. So Iran calmed down, don't bring America
Speaker 1: into this conflict. This also shows you just how woosy
Speaker 1: the Biden administration is and how it's putting our national
Speaker 1: security at risk now. The warning was sent in response
Speaker 1: to a message from Iran. The spokesman said Iran's message
Speaker 1: to the US was that they blamed the US for
Speaker 1: the Damascus attack. A senior Administration official said saying it
Speaker 1: was not clear exactly who in Iran conveyed to the
Speaker 1: US the initial message, but it did come through official
Speaker 1: back channels now. The Deputy Chief of Staff of Iranians
Speaker 1: President Mohammad said on x on Friday in a written message, saying,
Speaker 1: the Islamic Republic of Iran warns US leadership not to
Speaker 1: get dragged into Netanyahu's trap for us. Stay away so
Speaker 1: you won't get hurt. He added in that response, the
Speaker 1: USS Iran to not target American facilities. So Iran has
Speaker 1: been targeting innocent people. Iran has been targeting American troops
Speaker 1: and American installations all over the Middle East for months
Speaker 1: on end. Then you have Israel that defends itself and
Speaker 1: goes after them in Damascus, and now they're saying, all right, America,
Speaker 1: we may come after you too again. This is what
Speaker 1: happens when you have a weak president, as Iran noted publicly.
Speaker 1: They also said this we received a message from them,
Speaker 1: The State Department spokesman said. We responded by warning Iran
Speaker 1: not to use this as a pretext to attack US
Speaker 1: personnel or facilities, which, by the way, if they're already
Speaker 1: doing it, why would they stop right? We did not ask,
Speaker 1: the State Department said at the end of their statement
Speaker 1: as well, and a senior Administration official described the US
Speaker 1: warning to Iran as don't think about coming after us. Well,
Speaker 1: guess what they already have been for months on end,
Speaker 1: and we're not responding. The State Department spokesman did not
Speaker 1: provide any further information about how the US message was
Speaker 1: conveyed to Iran to leave US alone. The United States
Speaker 1: considered it its own embassies and consulates abroad, as well
Speaker 1: as foreign countries embassies and consulates in the US, to
Speaker 1: have a special status that according to the US State Department,
Speaker 1: an attack on an embassy is considered an attack on
Speaker 1: the country it represents. The White House also said, actually
Speaker 1: giving credence to Iran's anger with Israel. Now On Tuesday,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon's Deputy Press secretary said, The US assessment was
Speaker 1: that Israel had carried out the airstrike. That's our assessment,
Speaker 1: and it's also our assessment there were a handful of
Speaker 1: IRCG top leaders there. I can't confirm those identities, but
Speaker 1: that's our initial assessment right now. So let me just
Speaker 1: recap very quickly what you just learned. We just learned
Speaker 1: that Iran is attacking America and American troops and American
Speaker 1: bases and anything that connects US in the Middle East
Speaker 1: on a regular basis for months on end, and we're
Speaker 1: not responding. Then Israel responds and goes after terrible people
Speaker 1: that deserve to die in Iran, and they go after them,
Speaker 1: they do it successfully, and then Israel says, yeah, we
Speaker 1: did it, and America says, oh, we didn't know they
Speaker 1: were going to do it, and we didn't. We would
Speaker 1: have warned you, basically, Iran if we would have known
Speaker 1: about it. But Iran don't mess with America. But we're
Speaker 1: allowing you to mess with America anyway, So you guys,
Speaker 1: I guess keep doing it now. I believe, and I
Speaker 1: go back to the headline of this story, and it's
Speaker 1: very concerning. The US is preparing for a significant Iran
Speaker 1: attack on US or Israeli assets in the region as
Speaker 1: soon as next week. I'll ask you one question. If
Speaker 1: you're a Ran right now and you just heard everything
Speaker 1: that I just told you from the United States government
Speaker 1: coming out of our White House, would you be concerned
Speaker 1: about attacking America? I wouldn't. Would you be worried that
Speaker 1: if you did attack America in a significant way in
Speaker 1: the Middle East, that Joe Biden's going to open up
Speaker 1: a can of whoop bay on you. I wouldn't. There's
Speaker 1: no way. And this is the problem now that we
Speaker 1: have is when you have a week leader, bad people
Speaker 1: in the world continue to act out until somebody puts
Speaker 1: them back in their place or stops them. And this
Speaker 1: diplomatic kumbai aism doesn't work because the only thing they
Speaker 1: understand is the sword, and they're going to kill innocent
Speaker 1: people as long as they can until someone stops them.
Speaker 1: That's how it works, That's how it works in the
Speaker 1: Middle East, That's how it's always worked with I Ran especially.
Speaker 1: So the question now is what are we going to
Speaker 1: allow them to get away with and not respond to it?
Speaker 1: And that seems to be what Iran is trying to
Speaker 1: figure out now. I want to give you a different
Speaker 1: perspective on all of this and Center Ted Cruz. Many
Speaker 1: of you know we do a podcast together called Verdict
Speaker 1: with Ted Cruz. We set down last night and we're
Speaker 1: talking about this exact issue with Israel and Iran, and
Speaker 1: I want you to hear what he had to say,
Speaker 1: specifically about America's foreign policy and what this means going
Speaker 1: forward with America and our lack of response because Joe
Speaker 1: Biden is our president. Take a listen. Center. There was
Speaker 1: something that was said at the White House today from
Speaker 1: White House pres sientrettery Is Jean Pierre, and she said,
Speaker 1: we know how to deal with terrorists now, and we're
Speaker 1: going to tell Israel what they need to do. Here
Speaker 1: is the new idea.
Speaker 3: We believe there has to be alternative ways to deal
Speaker 3: with hamas in Gaza, as we're specifically in Rafa, a
Speaker 3: military operation that we believe is not the way to
Speaker 3: move forward. There is a active conversations happening with the
Speaker 3: Israeli government and obviously our government, and I think that's important.
Speaker 1: Senata, I'm going to take the bait. I'm going to
Speaker 1: ask you the question, how is there an alternative and
Speaker 1: what is an alternative way to deal with actual terrorists
Speaker 1: that say they want to annihilate you and from the
Speaker 1: river to the sea they want you to all be dead.
Speaker 4: Well, let me give you the non alternative way. The
Speaker 4: non alternative way is to kill them. Is to eliminate Hamas.
Speaker 4: To kill the terrorists, to kill the people that murdered
Speaker 4: twelve hundred Israelis, to kill the people that murdered over
Speaker 4: thirty Americans. To kill the people that raped little girls
Speaker 4: and raped women. To kill the people that burned babies alive,
Speaker 4: that burned infants. To kill the vicious anti Semitic, anti Israel,
Speaker 4: anti America terrorists that pledged to murder as many of
Speaker 4: us as possible. That's the non alternative ways. Now, let
Speaker 4: me just ask you a question, Ben, What what the
Speaker 4: hell is she talking about? There's an alternative way to
Speaker 4: deal with Hamas terrorists. I don't know. Maybe we sit
Speaker 4: down in a circle with them, we hug them, we
Speaker 4: put little robes on them, we put flowers in our hair,
Speaker 4: we sing Kumba yah. Maybe that's the way to do it. Like,
Speaker 4: what idiocy is this? These are psychopathic, homicidal, genocidal maniacs.
Speaker 4: And here's the problem. You know what, there's an alternative
Speaker 4: way to do deal with is left wing democrat activists
Speaker 4: that the White House is terrified about. And so what
Speaker 4: are they doing. They're abandoning Israel. Let me say, Israel
Speaker 4: is exactly right. They should eliminate Hamas and every Jumos terrists.
Speaker 4: They eliminate is saving the lives of Israelis and it's
Speaker 4: saving the lives of Americans. That is a statement I
Speaker 4: want you to understand. Let's say you're a Democrat at home. Look,
Speaker 4: we don't have a ton of Democrats that listen to
Speaker 4: this podcast, but I actually think we have some we
Speaker 4: try on this podcast. By the way, I encourage people
Speaker 4: all the time when I talk to high schools, when
Speaker 4: I talk to colleges, when I talk to people that
Speaker 4: are nonpartisans, and I say, listen, you want to know
Speaker 4: what's going on in the world. Here's part of the problem.
Speaker 4: The media is all biased, it's all partisan, it's all ideological.
Speaker 4: So if you only listen to see an n or MSNBC,
Speaker 4: you'll only get part of the news. And by the way,
Speaker 4: if you only listen to Fox News or Newsmax or
Speaker 4: write a center media, you'll only get part of the news.
Speaker 4: What I do is I try to listen across the spectrum.
Speaker 4: So what I encourage people to do is I tell
Speaker 4: high school kids, in college kids this, I said, I'll
Speaker 4: tell you what. Take a month listen to every episode
Speaker 4: of Verdict, and then also that same month, listen to
Speaker 4: every episode of some left wing podcasts. I don't care,
Speaker 4: Pod Save America, some you know, I don't know whatever
Speaker 4: comedy piece. There are notugh of them out there. You
Speaker 4: can pick something, but listen to both sides. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if anyone has ever taken me up on
Speaker 4: that request, but I hope they have. I hope they're
Speaker 4: listening to both sides. So if if you're a Democrat
Speaker 4: listening to this, I want you to ask yourself, do
Speaker 4: you think America should stand with Israel? And if we should,
Speaker 4: what do you think is the quote alternative way to
Speaker 4: deal with Hamas terrorists. I don't know of any other
Speaker 4: way other than the way Israel is trying to do,
Speaker 4: which is to eliminate them, to defeat them, to kill them.
Speaker 4: But apparently the Biden White House has something else in mind.
Speaker 1: You see, I've got like seven different questions for you center.
Speaker 1: I've been wanting to ask you all day, so I'm
Speaker 1: just going to go through a couple of them quickly.
Speaker 1: Number One, when I heard this, I was I was angry,
Speaker 1: but then I said, okay, what is the alternative? It
Speaker 1: sounds like and this is one way you could take it.
Speaker 1: She's now saying you need to negotiate with terras that
Speaker 1: actually have hostages right now. That's what it seems like
Speaker 1: she's saying. And I thought America's foreign policy was we
Speaker 1: don't actually negotiate with terras they have Americans by the way,
Speaker 1: that they're still holding hostage right now as well. So
Speaker 1: then the second question I have for you Center is this,
Speaker 1: how much money are we supposed to give them? Because
Speaker 1: I'm assuming if there's an alternative way to deal with
Speaker 1: Hamas that means, okay, we're going to bribe you. Am
Speaker 1: I wrong?
Speaker 4: You're not entirely wrong, but you don't have anywhere near
Speaker 4: close to the scope of it. Sadly, let me tell
Speaker 4: you what the Biden White House means. The alternative way
Speaker 4: to deal with them is Number one, allow them to live,
Speaker 4: allow them to prosper, allow them to succeed, Do not
Speaker 4: kill the terrorists who murdered Israelis. Do not kill the
Speaker 4: terrorists who murdered Americans, do not kill the terrorists who
Speaker 4: raped little girls and raped women. Do not kill the
Speaker 4: terrorists who murdered infants. But they also it's not just
Speaker 4: don't kill them, give them a state, reward them. Remember
Speaker 4: the White House is trying to say, the reward for
Speaker 4: October seventh should be a two state solution. The two
Speaker 4: states should be create a Palestinian state. By the way,
Speaker 4: they had a two state solution. Gaza was run by Hamas.
Speaker 4: Israel was not in Gaza. They were in control of it.
Speaker 4: It's a popular talking point on the left. Oh, it
Speaker 4: was an open air concentration site. What utter imbecility. The
Speaker 4: Palestinians ran the Gaza strip, they were in charge jaivit.
Speaker 4: The Israelis weren't there. They could do it whatever they wanted.
Speaker 4: The reason it was a hell hole is because Hamas
Speaker 4: ran it. And by the way, Hamas ran it because
Speaker 4: when the Palestinians had elections, the Palestinians voted for Hamas.
Speaker 4: So at some level listen. Hamas has wreaked havoc and
Speaker 4: suffering and misery on the Palestinian people. But at some level,
Speaker 4: a majority of them bear responsibility for that, because when
Speaker 4: they went to the polls and voted, they said, yeah,
Speaker 4: the psycho terrorists, that's who we want running things. Now,
Speaker 4: here's what Biden is saying. Because you engage in one
Speaker 4: of the worst acts of mass murder of Jews, in fact,
Speaker 4: the single worst mass murder of Jews in a day
Speaker 4: since the Holocaust, because you engage in horrific terrorism, because
Speaker 4: you murder over thirty Americans, We're going to reward you
Speaker 4: and expand your territory and give you control and give
Speaker 4: you power, and elevate you and treat you as a statesman.
Speaker 4: And by the way, in about a year, they'll give
Speaker 4: you the Nobel Peace Prize as a psychotic terrorist. That's
Speaker 4: what they mean. By a different way is literally, we
Speaker 4: will show every terrorist in the world. You want what
Speaker 4: you want, commit horrific acts of mess murder, and get
Speaker 4: the idiots and the press and the pacifistic appeasing, cheese
Speaker 4: eating surrender monkeys of the Democrat Party to give you
Speaker 4: what you want. And all you need to do is
Speaker 4: murder and rape enough people and they'll give you exactly
Speaker 4: what you want.
Speaker 1: You know, let's go back to when this attack happened
Speaker 1: because I will give credit in that moment, Joe Biden
Speaker 1: publicly was very clear that we were standing behind Israel,
Speaker 1: but the machine behind Joe Biden very clearly came out
Speaker 1: and wanted to get ahead of him and say no, no, no,
Speaker 1: we actually don't. We're calling on Israel to not retaliate,
Speaker 1: even against their nine to eleven that happened, that the
Speaker 1: most Jews have been massacred since the Holocaust, for goodness sakes,
Speaker 1: and you called out quickly. Remind you we've talked about
Speaker 1: on the show before. But if people may be listening
Speaker 1: the show for the first time because they've seen on
Speaker 1: social media where people have been posting this about Israel,
Speaker 1: I want to remind them in the hours after the attack,
Speaker 1: what our government, the machine behind Biden, was doing.
Speaker 4: Within hours of the attack, on October seventh, while people
Speaker 4: we're still being murdered, while the bodies were still warm,
Speaker 4: the Biden State Department, the Office of Palestinian Affairs, tweeted
Speaker 4: out a tweet that said Israel should not retaliate, do
Speaker 4: not respond with violence, do not respond with warfare, essentially
Speaker 4: roll over and allow mass murder to happen in your
Speaker 4: country and do nothing now. At three in the morning
Speaker 4: that night, I called that out and denounced it, and
Speaker 4: within hours they retracted the tweet. They deleted it. Then
Speaker 4: the next day Tony Blincoln, the Secretary of State, did
Speaker 4: the same thing. He said, I just talked with the
Speaker 4: Turkish foreign Minister and we agreed there should be an
Speaker 4: immediate cease fire. The one thing that is critical is
Speaker 4: Israel should not kill any terrorists. He didn't quite say that,
Speaker 4: but that's essentially what he said. Responded again within hours saying,
Speaker 4: this is disgraceful, this is shameful, and again the State
Speaker 4: Department deleted the tweets. So understand, in forty eight hours,
Speaker 4: they sent out two anti Israel Prohamas tweets. In forty
Speaker 4: eight hours, I called them both out, and in forty
Speaker 4: eight hours they deleted them both. Early on, when Biden
Speaker 4: would get in the front of a camera and talk,
Speaker 4: his actually talking points were pretty good because listen, Biden
Speaker 4: is from an older generation of Democrats that they actually
Speaker 4: said we should stand with Israel, and Biden is what
Speaker 4: one hundred and forty two years old. He probably still
Speaker 4: thinks he's in the nineteen eighties. He repeated those old
Speaker 4: talking points here's the problem. Biden has filled his White House,
Speaker 4: He's filled his State Department, He's filled his administration with
Speaker 4: rabid leftist anti Israel, anti Semites. They hate Israel. They
Speaker 4: believe Israel is an illegitimate occupying force. They believe the Palestinians,
Speaker 4: they believe the Hamas terrorists are no freedom fighters, and
Speaker 4: they side with Hamas. I'm not exaggerating. And by the way,
Speaker 4: we've had, among other things, white House interns protesting, State
Speaker 4: Department in turns protesting. Let me be clear, in any
Speaker 4: sane White House listen if I'd been elected president of
Speaker 4: twenty sixteen and the White House returns protests the day
Speaker 4: they protested with the day they lost their White House
Speaker 4: badge and they left the White House. The idiocy of
Speaker 4: they've hired these twenty year old radicals who hate Israel.
Speaker 4: They have been taught from their Marxist professors Israel is
Speaker 4: a colonialist oppressor. And I got to say Biden's rhetoric
Speaker 4: from a yester year of the Democrats saying we stand
Speaker 4: with Israel to the young angry leftists made no sense.
Speaker 4: And let me say to people listening to this, if
Speaker 4: you're a Democrat, if you're a centrist, but you do
Speaker 4: support Israel. Ask yourself. Is their room left in the
Speaker 4: Democrat Party for their views? I don't see a whole
Speaker 4: lot of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, well, and that brings me to what's
Speaker 1: happening now. Clearly, the people around Joe Biden have said
Speaker 1: to him over and over and over and over again
Speaker 1: that he needs to quiet down on his public support
Speaker 1: of Israel, and the White House was asked about that.
Speaker 1: John Kirby was asked about it, and here's how it
Speaker 1: went down when Peter Doucey asked him at the White
Speaker 1: House Press briefing us.
Speaker 5: One, then, where is President Biden on any of this?
Speaker 5: When he wants to talk about how angry he is
Speaker 5: or frustrated he is about the high cost of insulin,
Speaker 5: he comes out and gives an impassioned speech. Where does
Speaker 5: he on any of this?
Speaker 1: He's been talking about this, He's been issuing statements on this.
Speaker 6: No, that's statement.
Speaker 3: The last I looked was public.
Speaker 5: But where is he? Why isn't he here right now?
Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll continue to hear from the President about
Speaker 1: this and many other national securities.
Speaker 6: We got to wrap it up.
Speaker 1: I love that you heard John Pire in the background.
Speaker 1: We got to wrap this up. We got to wrap
Speaker 1: this up right now. Action speak louder than we're right.
Speaker 1: So if the President has some words on a page
Speaker 1: about Israel, that says something, but he's not saying anything publicly.
Speaker 1: It's very clear now that the White House has turned
Speaker 1: basically a one eighty. And the UN vote from a
Speaker 1: week ago was a lot of proof. But now the
Speaker 1: White House is publicly not supporting Israel.
Speaker 4: Listen, the UN vote from a week ago was I
Speaker 4: believe orchestrated by the Biden administration. They want the United
Speaker 4: Nations to condemn Israel. They want the United Nations to
Speaker 4: call for an immediate ceasefire. And let's be clear. Joe
Speaker 4: Biden yesterday talked with Benjamin Etya, who they put out
Speaker 4: a press that they put out a readout of the call,
Speaker 4: and they said Biden demanded an immediate ceasefire. Understand, the
Speaker 4: President of the United States is telling Israel stop killing
Speaker 4: Hamas terrorists. Now that is their position that you cannot
Speaker 4: kill any more terrorists. Why and listen, it's not a
Speaker 4: national security reason. It's not a reason that supports Israel security.
Speaker 4: It's not a reason that supports America's security. The reason
Speaker 4: is domestic politics, the angry left wing Democrat Party, the
Speaker 4: anti Semites, and let's be clear, they hate Israel and
Speaker 4: they hate Jews. And by the way, I got to say,
Speaker 4: there are a lot of Jewish Democrats right now in
Speaker 4: this country who are facing an existential crisis because they
Speaker 4: have been Democrats, many of them their entire lives. They
Speaker 4: vote Democrat, and yet they're seeing people in the Democrat
Speaker 4: Party who despise Israel. And let's be clear, who despise Jews. Listen,
Speaker 4: in the Marxist worldview, as you know, in my book Unwoke,
Speaker 4: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America, I describe the
Speaker 4: cultural Marxist view that divides the world into oppressors and victims,
Speaker 4: and the leftists, the leftist at universities, the anti Semits
Speaker 4: at universities. They define Jews, not israelis Jews. If you
Speaker 4: were Jewish in America, if you are Jewish in Israel,
Speaker 4: if you're Jewish anywhere in the world, the Marxists define
Speaker 4: you as an oppressor. You are white, you are a capitalist,
Speaker 4: you are healthy, you are an oppressor. That is their worldview.
Speaker 4: And by the way, if you're not. They think you
Speaker 4: probably want to be, so you're an oppressor too. And
Speaker 4: they define Palestinians, all Palestinians, and especially Hamas terrorists as victims,
Speaker 4: and the cultural Marxist support the violent, aggressive revolution of
Speaker 4: the so called victims against the so called oppressors. And
Speaker 4: so the leftists and the Marxists are celebrating when Hamas
Speaker 4: murders israelis when Hamas murders Americans, the leftists and the
Speaker 4: Democrat Party are celebrating. And this is what Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: this is what Chuck Schumer, and sadly, this is what
Speaker 4: every Democrat and House member on the Democrat side in
Speaker 4: the Senate and House are supporting. And let me ask
Speaker 4: you this, so Ben, you're you're a very sophisticated political observer.
Speaker 4: Have you seen a single Democrat, a single Democrat member
Speaker 4: of the House, single Democrat member of the Senate, call
Speaker 4: out and denounce Joe Biden this White House for undermining Israel,
Speaker 4: for supporting Hamas and for demanding that Israel stop killing
Speaker 4: Hamas terrorists.
Speaker 1: No, and not only that, to put it in perspective,
Speaker 1: with a passing of Joe, have.
Speaker 4: You've seen a reporter ask a Democrat that hold on, yeah,
Speaker 4: the answers, no, I haven't seen it either. Have you
Speaker 4: seen one Democrat ask I'm sorry, one reporter ask a
Speaker 4: Democrat that I haven't. I literally have not seen a
Speaker 4: single Democrat senator, a single Democrat House member asked that
Speaker 4: in a normal, insane world, there are five hundred and
Speaker 4: thirty five members of the Senate and the House, every
Speaker 4: one of us, myself included, should be asked. Now. My answer,
Speaker 4: that's easy.
Speaker 1: You asked me.
Speaker 4: Do I support it? Hell no, I think it is
Speaker 4: corrupt and evil and profoundly anti Israel. That's my answer. Now,
Speaker 4: let's start with the remaining four hundred and thirty four
Speaker 4: and let them get their answers on record.
Speaker 1: There's also something else that's been happening. And early on
Speaker 1: you saw some members of the squad, the AOCS this
Speaker 1: rashid leaves the more extreme socialists in the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: They were anti Israel from day one. But we saw
Speaker 1: a shift this last week. And I want you to
Speaker 1: hear what Elizabeth Warren had to say. Of course, coming
Speaker 1: from Cambridge, Massachusetts, she goes on CNN and this is
Speaker 1: what she had to say about net and Yahoo.
Speaker 2: You talk about Netnahoo needing to be held accountable and
Speaker 2: things that need to happen now. Last month, you joined
Speaker 2: a group of Democratic senators basically asking Joe Biden to
Speaker 2: leverage weapon sales to Israel to pressure net Nyaho to
Speaker 2: change tactics in Gaza. We know the administration is set
Speaker 2: to greenlight a huge sale worth upwards of eighteen billion
Speaker 2: dollars to Israel, having to do with a slew of
Speaker 2: F fifteen fighter jets. Do you Congress can take action
Speaker 2: now to have a say in that. Do you want
Speaker 2: Congress to move to block that sale?
Speaker 6: Well, I think it is clear that Congress has a
Speaker 6: responsibility to act. We have legal tools here, and as
Speaker 6: I said, we cannot approve the sale of arms to
Speaker 6: a country that is in violation of our own laws
Speaker 6: on this and that includes access to humanitarian relief. This
Speaker 6: is a moral question, it is also a legal question.
Speaker 6: Congress has responsibility here and I'm willing to take that responsibility.
Speaker 2: Talk to me more about that, because I've heard a
Speaker 2: lot of kind of conversations around possibly considering legislation to
Speaker 2: step in. Will are you considering or will you be
Speaker 2: putting forward legislation if that's the right term when it
Speaker 2: comes to this to kind of start this process of
Speaker 2: blocking the sale.
Speaker 6: So actually, let's put this in a slightly different context.
Speaker 6: We already have an established US policy here.
Speaker 2: How do you make the president not dream like this?
Speaker 6: That's I think the best we can do here is
Speaker 6: that we need to all be working together, and that's
Speaker 6: the President, that's people in Congress. And I am hopeful
Speaker 6: that when the President talks with Prime Minister net Yaho,
Speaker 6: he will be making it clear that support for the
Speaker 6: actions of the Prime Minister are he's not helping Israel,
Speaker 6: he is not keeping Israel safe, and that he cannot
Speaker 6: cannot continue to follow a policy of trying to starve
Speaker 6: out the people of Gaza.
Speaker 1: Sener not just as she's saying no more aid, military
Speaker 1: aid to protect him from the terrace, she then accuses
Speaker 1: net and Yahoo of quote trying to starve out the
Speaker 1: people of Gaza. And that's her last point that she
Speaker 1: makes there on CNN and CNA set her up perfectly
Speaker 1: for this.
Speaker 4: CNN wants to tell you that and by the way,
Speaker 4: you and I did a podcast months ago that I
Speaker 4: think is a really important podcast. If you didn't listen
Speaker 4: to it, you got to go back and listen to it.
Speaker 4: Even better, you got to watch it on YouTube because
Speaker 4: this is one of our video podcasts and it was
Speaker 4: entitled CNN is Hamas's air Force. So is MSNBC, so
Speaker 4: is ABC. CNN is acting as propagandists for Hamas. With that,
Speaker 4: and sadly, a United States Senator, my colleague, Elizabeth Warren,
Speaker 4: was elected the same day I was, in November of
Speaker 4: twenty twelve. She served twelve years, just like I have.
Speaker 4: But you know what, she was a professor at Harvard
Speaker 4: Law School, my alma mater where I went. And Harvard
Speaker 4: Law School is a pit of rabid leftist, often Marxist thought,
Speaker 4: and we have seen it. It festers anti Semitism. There's
Speaker 4: a reason Clauding Gay, the president of Harvard, was forced
Speaker 4: to resign. There's a reason Harvard has seen their applications
Speaker 4: plummet because the left despises Israel. In her comments, Israel's
Speaker 4: not trying to starve at anyone. That is grotesque, that
Speaker 4: is dishonest, that is But understand the angry lefties who
Speaker 4: are Elizabeth Warren's base, hate hate, hate Israel. They're not neutral,
Speaker 4: they're not ambiguous, they're not fair, they're not objective. They
Speaker 4: cheer when pro Palestinian and pro Haamas protesters chant from
Speaker 4: the river to the sea, what is from the river
Speaker 4: to the sea mean? It means literally, we should annihilate Israel.
Speaker 4: There should be no Jewish state on the face of
Speaker 4: the planet. That the only thing in the land that
Speaker 4: is now Israel should be a new Palestinian state where
Speaker 4: apparently Jews are not welcome. That is the view of
Speaker 4: the radicals. And sadly, Elizabeth Warren is not an outlier.
Speaker 4: Rashida Talib is not an outliner. Ilhan Omar is not
Speaker 4: an outlier. AOC is not an outlier. Their views are
Speaker 4: reflected by Chuck Schumer and by Joe Biden. This is
Speaker 4: the so called mainstream Democrat party. They have decided. They've
Speaker 4: looked at the police landscape and they said, oh crap,
Speaker 4: the crazy lefties are our base. We need them to
Speaker 4: show up. So Israel we're willing to abandon. And that
Speaker 4: that makes me incredibly sad because it's dangerous. It's dangerous
Speaker 4: for Israel, it's dangerous for American and it's dangerous for
Speaker 4: the world.
