00:00:19.620 for the podcast fascinating yeah it's first time i've heard him really speak at length about a lot

00:00:23.700 of this stuff and it was really good time i've heard him really speak that that's what they

00:00:28.440 that's what saturday night live said no one's ever heard his voice yeah and uh you hear his voice

00:00:31.860 today and gosh it sounds nothing like the caricature the media has portrayed of him yeah if you don't

00:00:36.520 know anything about him read his book and you'll be like holy what and we didn't get to this we ran

00:00:43.140 out of time but he talks about the family hatred of chris christie it's delicious so we had him on uh

00:00:53.540 today we also had a really cool salute to the one-year anniversary of the biggest uh disaster 0.87

00:01:00.720 in uh foreign policy ever our exit from afghanistan that's one year anniversary on tomorrow

00:01:08.000 um oh and gee that crazy wacky idea of just redistributing wealth i mean this is the biggest

00:01:20.920 redistribution in american history when it comes to taking it from the poor and giving it to the rich

00:01:29.340 yeah that's our sheriff of nottingham joe biden we have all that and more on today's podcast brought

00:01:36.940 to you by relief factor relief factor i just read a um uh a commercial for them just a little while ago

00:01:43.720 from a guy who said i had bad spasms in my back and i you know tried taking drugs i did went to the

00:01:52.080 doctor i did physical therapy said i didn't get any relief from anything he said i love this shockingly

00:01:58.660 this worked relief factor that is exactly how i felt when it worked i'm like shut up this worked

00:02:06.320 after all of everything else this one's working i know you're skeptical but at least just give it a try

00:02:12.560 if you're in pain three-week quick start if it's not working for you in three weeks it's not going

00:02:17.340 to work so try it will you 1995 70 of the people who try it go on order more it's a drug-free and

00:02:24.580 natural way to get your life back relief factor.com that's relief factor.com

00:02:29.660 you're listening to the best of the glenbeck program

00:02:41.040 so as expected biden is going to cancel ten thousand dollars for all federal student debts

00:02:50.980 uh up to joint filers earning 250 000 that includes by the white house's own admission

00:03:00.840 basically all but the top five percent the big addition to that is the pell grant recipients

00:03:09.200 who have student loans that will get up to twenty thousand dollars in debt counts canceled now here's

00:03:15.300 what i love i you know i feel sorry for the president once in a while because i mean he's a i don't know

00:03:22.400 he thinks he's robin hood or he's a socialist i don't know but he doesn't even get the redistribution

00:03:28.120 of wealth right his plan to cancel ten thousand dollars in student debt for anybody who earns up to

00:03:36.260 125 000 a year is possibly the largest single transfer from poor to rich people in american history

00:03:47.580 researchers at the university of chicago have determined that president biden's plan will

00:03:53.480 shift an estimated 192 billion dollars in earned income to the top 20 percent of wage earners

00:04:01.740 just 29 billion will go to the bottom 20 percent that's insanity the cost to you will be 427

00:04:12.640 billion dollars to put that into perspective just this loan forgiveness is more than the gross national

00:04:24.320 domestic product of hong kong and 182 other countries if you like social programs great this one is 36

00:04:36.260 times greater than the federal government spent spent on head start in 2022 if you support defense

00:04:46.100 spending great this is two and a half times larger than the entire budget of the u.s.

00:04:54.320 army in 2022 by the way this doesn't uh include the non-cancellation elements of the biden

00:05:02.620 announcement including proposals to significantly cut many borrowers monthly payments by more you know

00:05:10.100 generous loan forgiveness in the future that's just today so people who go to college especially

00:05:19.640 those who get degrees and that's where most of the loan is sitting in grad school okay

00:05:27.980 they typically typically make 1.2 to 3.1 million dollars more than those who don't get a degree over a

00:05:38.700 lifetime job security because they have a degree

00:05:43.340 hmm so why are the little people helping out those people

00:05:51.020 by the way grossly unconstitutional congress not the president has the spending power but that hasn't

00:05:59.680 mattered for how long experts including former uh obama administration attorney charl rose

00:06:08.900 has argued that biden lacks the authority um nancy pelosi has said the same thing even the department

00:06:17.440 of energy or i'm sorry education said biden doesn't i'm quoting biden doesn't have the statutory

00:06:24.260 authority to cancel compromise discharge or forgive on a blanket or mass basis principal balance of

00:06:32.880 student loans and or to materially modify the repayment announce amounts of terms thereof

00:06:40.300 now pelosi's now reversed herself on this oh you've got to be kidding she's like oh no it's a bold plan

00:06:45.060 oh my gosh the department of education is now they're citing that as specifically as having this

00:06:51.260 authority even though they themselves have said they don't have it unbelievable absolutely unbelievable

00:06:59.180 okay so what happens when we pour roughly another half trillion dollars into the economy this is

00:07:10.820 gasoline on the inflationary fire it's already burning out of control by jason firman the harvard

00:07:20.800 economist and former advisor to obama he said the bill will increase inflation by 0.2

00:07:29.160 or 0.3 and that is likely underestimated the knowledge that a president can unilaterally reduce

00:07:37.740 student loan balances will cause debtors to upwardly revise their view of their own future income

00:07:44.500 uh encouraging more spending in fact please play the cut we just played uh from um elizabeth warren

00:07:52.760 here's what she said yesterday ultimately what the data show us is that because of student loan debt

00:08:01.740 there are many people who don't move out of their mama's basement who can't save up money to buy a home 0.95

00:08:07.100 uh who don't start small businesses who don't start a family you relieve the debt burden some for those

00:08:14.900 people and we have more economic activity in other words canceling student loan debt is good for the

00:08:23.100 people whose debt is canceled but it is also good for our economy and the rest of america how how we don't

00:08:31.580 want more spending that's why the federal reserve is raising interest rates to to make people stop

00:08:40.960 spending money the idea of inflation to fight inflation you've got to get the average joe to 0.88

00:08:49.820 stop have you ever heard we got to slow this economy down it's it's overheating what does that mean that

00:08:56.240 means they're going to penalize you through taxes and higher interest rates to get you to stop spending

00:09:04.880 money these people are just they are criminally insane or they are just criminals what they're doing to this 0.71

00:09:16.480 country is criminal by the way it's not debt forgiveness it's debt transfer we'll get into that later

00:09:23.700 here we are living where food prices are the most since 1974 rents are soaring

00:09:34.120 the median rent payment for bank of america customers they're paying 7.4 percent in july more than last

00:09:43.780 july how about how hey how's your energy bill how is that air conditioning bill do you know that one

00:09:52.940 in every six americans are behind in their energy bill to the point of being cut off

00:09:59.140 one in six americans owe around 800 that they just can't pay

00:10:06.300 energies through the roof and what are these people doing

00:10:11.600 what are they doing

00:10:13.980 they're biden he's shutting down our minds while sending our money to canada

00:10:22.980 to their minds

00:10:25.200 i mean this is taxing us oh nobody's gonna well you the average person is gonna cost

00:10:35.220 that is gonna have to pay now two thousand dollars

00:10:38.420 just for this the average american has to pony up two grand

00:10:44.820 uh okay where are we gonna get that where are you gonna get that it makes perfect sense though

00:10:51.620 right everyone ponies up two grand to pay 20 of the population 10 grand

00:10:55.700 right like that's that's just a transfer of wealth that's all it is if you are not a recipient here

00:11:01.460 you're going to lose badly and if you are a recipient here it'll feel good for a short period of time

00:11:06.760 and it'll screw with the economy so badly that you will wind up losing all these benefits anyway

00:11:10.860 that's what happened with inflation they gave all these trillions of dollars away during covid

00:11:15.580 and then all of it got wiped out by inflation within you know a couple of years

00:11:19.960 the other how about deficit reduction we just passed this inflation reduction act which one of the main

00:11:27.600 selling points for it was it was going to reduce the budget deficit or debt by 300 billion dollars

00:11:33.420 over 10 years in eight days they spent all of that money plus another 70 percent

00:11:41.640 in eight days by the way um they think that this is going to because we'll be in even more problems

00:11:48.100 with the loan situation by 2025 they're expecting another one uh of 1.6 billion dollars

00:11:57.440 no sorry 1.6 trillion dollars we don't comment on bills that are worth 1.6 we just gave 3 billion

00:12:04.320 to ukraine yesterday yeah we didn't even comment on it this is crazy this is absolutely listen to me

00:12:14.260 please

00:12:16.980 everything we've talked about over the years it's happening it's all happening

00:12:25.300 everything and you have got to understand that things can go all we're waiting for is an event

00:12:35.300 i mean think of this think of we get into a real energy situation which we could this winter

00:12:45.380 we get into a situation where people cannot afford to heat their house

00:12:52.960 we're going to have another bailout

00:12:55.500 but that that's just putting a band-aid on the problem in fact it's re-injuring another part of your

00:13:04.120 body it it it will only make things worse and what are they doing they're getting rid of all of our

00:13:13.280 energy and they're saying this is a good thing for us it is not a good thing these people have got to

00:13:21.400 be stopped we have got to get out and vote it if we could possibly win the senate i don't know how

00:13:29.000 that's going to happen but if we could possibly win the senate that's the best thing that could

00:13:34.960 happen to us but we have to win the house have to this stuff has got to stop and the republicans

00:13:44.960 aren't going to be able to do anything except stop it but if they don't stop it in its tracks if we

00:13:54.240 don't this is insanity insanity you are going to have blackouts imagine having blackouts throughout

00:14:06.500 the country that means you can't pump gas that means your bank is not going to be working

00:14:12.020 how long do you think remember remember katrina you've got 72 hours 72 hours if people don't think

00:14:22.380 that something's going to happen that good guys are coming you've got 72 hours of safety before the

00:14:30.720 bad guys start to go oh there's nobody coming this is going to go on for a while

00:14:36.720 it's not good by the way this is exactly what we said would happen in 2009 you know why we're in

00:14:46.360 this situation because barack obama insisted on putting and taking all all loans onto the federal

00:14:55.720 system in 2009 he said no no bank shouldn't be involved in that we're going to take that on

00:15:01.540 ourselves and we told you at that time man stop listening to people that have lied to you or who

00:15:10.420 have just been so dramatically wrong it was more important for them to score points 1.00

00:15:16.600 and say oh what an idiot he is what an idiot what a conspiracy theorist i don't care what their 1.00

00:15:24.580 motivation is but just recognize who has been telling you what's really going on do not dismiss these 1.00

00:15:34.300 warnings please we told you in 2009 this is what's gonna happen no that's crazy look here's the here's

00:15:47.100 one thing that you really need to know socialism and marxism has collapsed this country we are not

00:16:01.040 the america we have been before we are not a constitutional republic it has to be restored it has to be restored

00:16:10.360 it has to be saved even if it is in the hearts of her people it has to be saved it has to be preserved

00:16:18.980 biden if he's a socialist man he's the worst socialist ever he's robbing the poor to pay the rich that

00:16:27.040 doesn't make you robin hood man that makes you the sheriff of nottingham you're not you're not robin hood 0.60

00:16:33.080 they try to make it always look up we're robin hood this is what we are but when you're the king

00:16:41.900 and you have an army or a bunch of sheriffs that come to the doors of the common man demand taxes

00:16:47.400 and it all goes to the rich and connected you can't claim to be the good guy you're the reason

00:16:54.140 robin hood existed he was fighting you this is a massive slap in the face of every american 1.00

00:17:05.840 this is the best of the glenbeck program

00:17:12.860 i'm gonna go through some of the stories that uh we're just not gonna have time to hit and and

00:17:25.580 honestly in today's show throughout i'm hitting about uh maybe 40 percent of the news that you will

00:17:33.480 find in my daily show prep newsletter this is uh i don't think anybody has ever done it to this

00:17:40.940 detail before i just it's raw news um and it is what i read every morning what my staff my uh all

00:17:50.880 of my producers work on for 21 hours after a show we begin show prepping immediately for the next day

00:17:57.800 show and uh about six months ago i just felt that the news was so important and i couldn't get it all

00:18:06.680 into the end of the show and you might miss something i hit and you know hour one or hour

00:18:10.880 three or whatever so we released it uh after much debate and you can get it now at glenbeck.com it is

00:18:20.360 free just sign up for it i'm using about 40 percent of what's in that newsletter today is on the program

00:18:27.900 today um but let me just give you some let me just give you some of the highlights because i think today

00:18:34.420 for some reason uh after going through all of it i thought this today is different there's something

00:18:41.460 different about the news and i haven't been able to put my finger on it it feels like the most important

00:18:46.720 news day of my life of my career but i that's not quite right and i don't know what it is but maybe you

00:18:55.920 can figure it out let me give you some of the uh stories atlanta police identify a man accused of

00:19:01.600 defacing rainbow crosswalks with swastikas so of course they arrested this white nazi oh no he's not 0.95

00:19:10.920 a white nazi he's a black nationalist 1.00

00:19:14.280 he has a an account online where he talks openly about killing people and how blacks are the master race 1.00

00:19:27.320 the vandalism of course when they were it's got to be white nationalists that are doing probably white 0.98

00:19:36.340 christian nationalists no it wasn't some of his posts make reference to a master race of black people

00:19:43.780 other posts are religious in nature he targets jehovah witnesses for portraying biblical figures as white 0.65

00:19:51.100 um you know he is uh he's he's not a well man but he's also black um biden has announced yesterday

00:20:02.620 another three billion dollars in arms for ukraine my research staff is working right now there is

00:20:09.620 something very wrong with the money that we're sending over there there's something very wrong and i i think

00:20:16.280 old scores are being settled old political scores remember this was the playground of george soros

00:20:24.840 of hillary clinton of barack obama of of joe and hunter biden this this was a funnel of money

00:20:35.620 that's just been lost we've sent over there and this is you know 10 years ago just lost don't know what happened

00:20:42.420 where did i put that 1.8 billion dollars i just can't find it did i leave it in my other suit

00:20:47.080 um and i i don't have any evidence now but i have a feeling if you want to start looking up some things

00:20:55.040 if you're good at being an investigative mole but i'm telling you something something's really wrong

00:21:01.280 there uh the biden administration has now moved to formalize daca to protect 600 000 migrants

00:21:09.700 from any kind of legal challenge by the way we're up to 4 million people that have come into the united

00:21:15.100 states under his watch um also biden has now moved to fund canadian mines while blocking u.s mining

00:21:25.360 that great love that it's good for canada mexican journalist was killed hours after publishing a

00:21:34.080 story about local officials involvement in a dis in the disappearance of 43 students in 2014

00:21:40.660 these buses filled with these students was found just shot all up we know that they were surrounded by

00:21:49.660 police they came in for some reason they just opened fire on these buses and then the bodies were gone

00:21:57.920 kids were gone what happened no investigation until this guy starts to question and he publishes

00:22:06.660 something online he's killed within a couple of uh hours spotify now this is interesting spotify

00:22:14.680 spends how much 100 million dollars on joe rogan wasn't that what it was what it was reported as i

00:22:20.040 think it was you know a lot of reports that it was even more than that okay so let's just say it's

00:22:24.160 100 million that's a lot of money for a company biggest investment when it comes to podcasting by

00:22:29.180 far by far did you know that spotify now as they started looking into this never recommends the joe rogan

00:22:39.540 podcast that's like that's like watching abc and they say tonight it's a new episode of your favorite

00:22:48.940 show on nbc oh and we're running this stuff too well they're not advertising they are not suggesting it

00:22:58.040 he's cut out of the algorithm

00:23:00.920 washington post a rape survivor a rape survivor

00:23:10.280 uh says the washington post falsely ascribed to me the view that the court's decision in dobbs the

00:23:20.060 abortion case to open the door of forced sterilizations by removing constitutional protections 0.52

00:23:26.080 for women's bodily autonomy was false my position is in fact the opposite

00:23:34.320 she was raped as a 13 year old girl and then sterilized against her will by the state of north

00:23:43.260 carolina after bringing her baby to term

00:23:45.560 we're still doing progressive sterilizations

00:23:51.300 what why is that happening i thought we stopped that in the 1920s and 30s by the way so you know

00:24:00.600 the germans didn't come up with it we did we taught eugenics to them literally the top eugenicists

00:24:15.480 in the in the world were in america and they made a journey over to uh germany to explain to all of the

00:24:25.060 very sophisticated german progressive science scientists what could be done through eugenics

00:24:31.860 they learned that from us

00:24:35.520 judicial watch a great organization that really if you can help an organization they they are really good

00:24:46.720 they just filed a foia lawsuit against the national archives for hiding the records tied to uh

00:24:54.120 the raid on trump's home and yet another senseless murder a progressive george soros prosecutor in

00:25:06.740 virginia dropped charges against a felon with a history of gun charges now i can guarantee you

00:25:14.800 if you're caught on a gun charge or i'm caught on a gun charge they will throw away the key

00:25:23.020 but this guy was a felon with a history of gun charges he was let out he was freed by the soros prosecutor

00:25:34.620 well he didn't use his time well francis rose shot two innocent bystanders in the head

00:25:44.180 while robbing an apartment complex in alexandria virginia by the way alexandria virginia

00:25:51.080 used to be a pretty safe place it's right across the potomac river

00:25:56.220 from washington dc it used to be a place where you didn't fear for your life

00:26:07.060 at some point this is all the gods of the copybook headings

00:26:17.040 that the truth will return it has to the question is how much of everything will it burn down

00:26:33.100 in our quest to reestablish it because everything we're doing now

00:26:44.000 the constitution never foresaw any of this any of this because this this is all insanity

00:26:52.300 i mean literally it we have gone insane we will be remembered as the craziest and god please destroy 0.61

00:27:05.380 destroy us before we can use our technology please destroy us 0.54

00:27:11.220 um if if we're not careful we will become the darkest nation ever we will go from the the shining

00:27:20.580 city on the hill to with our modern technology in the hands of the wrong people

00:27:27.940 we'll kill millions hundreds of millions we will make mao look like a rookie 0.98

00:27:35.920 and i fear that's already happening in some of our policies but they're right now they're not our 0.73

00:27:43.420 policies they're going to be blamed on america but it is the world economic forum

00:27:48.420 and their policies and it's so important for you to know that this is not an american problem

00:27:58.280 yes we're dealing with it here but every western country in the world is dealing with it as well

00:28:06.400 that's why you see protest and that's why you're not being shown the protests have you ever lived in a

00:28:14.620 time where there have been massive protests in europe and you don't see them on the news

00:28:20.680 why is that i wonder because they don't want to they don't want you to see what they're facing because

00:28:30.120 they're ahead with the farmers they're ahead of us and what the farmers are saying now is none of this

00:28:37.380 works you're going to starve all of europe and the world to death if you continue down this

00:28:44.500 world because we cannot farm that way they don't want you seeing that you have to actually go

00:28:52.000 search for it so do just look up european protests farmers and see the truth of what

00:29:03.540 these policies that have now been given power and teeth through the inflation reduction act

00:29:14.000 the epa has been given the power the money and the teeth to enforce this now on our farmers

00:29:22.400 read all about these things uh every day you can find my newsletter

00:30:08.580 you're like a little jewish amelie you know it's amazing in the time that guy went on to shoot 1.00

00:30:14.440 somebody on the set and kill him uh alec baldwin which i didn't see coming and also i don't think

00:30:20.760 people saw coming the the abrahamic accords jared kushner joins us now uh and his uh his new book

00:30:28.140 that is out breaking history a white house memoir hello jared how are you doing great thank you for

00:30:35.440 having me and thank you for reminding me of that uh that snl skit that was quite funny i mean they

00:30:40.480 really hammered you at one point they put you in little short pants and i don't know about you i

00:30:45.420 think you but based on that response feel the same way when they first started mocking me on

00:30:49.920 saturday night live i thought wow i've made it somehow or another um even if they're making

00:30:55.220 fun of you that's that's great even better um but how everybody said jared kushner how could you

00:31:02.480 possibly send him to the middle east we've been trying to crack this code for 80 years now and yet

00:31:08.620 you did can you talk a little bit about what you write about in the book about how you crack that

00:31:14.660 sure well first of all it it was definitely a challenge that when we got involved it was it

00:31:21.800 i don't know maybe they thought i couldn't make it any worse than all the professionals who'd worked

00:31:25.400 on it for decades before but uh but but what i did was i went there and i write about this extensively

00:31:31.160 in my book uh how my first year was really spent just listening i i was meeting with all the different

00:31:36.500 leaders and i was asking them questions which they actually had a hard time processing at first

00:31:40.860 because they were so used to not having these questions asked which is america has so much

00:31:45.880 power to influence things and we've done some things that actually have made this region much worse

00:31:50.980 if you were in my shoes what would you be doing and and finally it got to really interesting

00:31:56.600 conversations and i listened to everyone's point of view and i i really realized that peace is about

00:32:02.520 the future and that you have to get people to focus on their joint interests let's put everyone on the

00:32:06.860 same side of the table and then there were certain patterns that became very clear to me that were

00:32:11.380 contrary to what all the conventional wisdom was and there's one example i give in the book where i

00:32:15.700 was meeting with one of the great foreign policy uh academics who's well respected and i i laid out

00:32:22.520 for him my approach and i said to him well do you think i have a chance of succeeding and he said

00:32:26.160 absolutely not and i said why so negative he said jared nobody's made any money betting on success

00:32:30.940 in the middle east in the last 25 years so i like that you're bringing new ideas but you just have

00:32:35.480 no chance of being successful but ultimately i think by building strong relationships by thinking

00:32:40.900 outside the box again i write a lot in this book about uh president trump and my interactions with

00:32:45.560 him and my interactions with all the world leaders we took a fresh approach we tried to be empirical we

00:32:50.560 tried to be pragmatic we saw things for what they were and again we were ruthlessly criticized for the

00:32:55.920 approach we took in the middle east up until it worked so in the book you talk about david freeman

00:33:01.040 and he's a bankruptcy lawyer in manhattan and he suggested and you guys decided to use to look at

00:33:09.860 the israeli-palestinian conflict like a bankruptcy so um can you explain that and is it that you guys

00:33:18.100 were not you know council foreign relations years and years at the state department that you came from

00:33:24.400 a business background and had a totally fresh set of eyes so so you have to always look at a situation

00:33:32.100 and put yourself in the other people's shoes and try to figure out what are the fulcrum components that

00:33:37.060 are driving a situation and so when we look at the situation you know you couldn't equate the israelis

00:33:42.060 and the palestinians one was a democracy one was a kleptocracy one had a super powerful military one

00:33:47.380 was basically you know just just kind of a it was it was kind of a con job at some point and so we

00:33:53.140 saw it for what it was and we weren't trying to be balanced we were trying to be honest and i think

00:33:57.820 that that really uh really was was was distorting for a lot of people so we we saw that the whole

00:34:04.000 palestinian situation was uh they got billions of dollars of aid there was it was never conditions

00:34:08.800 based and we basically said like you know u.s foreign aid is not entitlement if we're going to give

00:34:13.200 you this money uh we want to see certain things happen and so we worked very hard over a couple

00:34:18.220 of years to do certain things and again i give president trump tremendous credit for what he did

00:34:22.200 because when he moved the embassy i take people into the situation room and how he had opposition

00:34:26.800 from secretary of state secretary of defense the intel community said world war three would occur

00:34:31.100 and what he basically did was he calibrated uh all the different advice he made a very measured

00:34:37.220 decision decided to go forward with it despite the advice of everyone that it was going to cause war

00:34:42.200 uh he tasked me with reaching out to all the different leaders and saying look you know don't

00:34:45.920 you can't cherry pick your relationship with america we're helping you with iran we're helping

00:34:49.340 you with military we're helping you with economy you know don't don't mess around with this and so

00:34:53.600 he made the decision everyone said the world was going to end and then what happened was the next

00:34:57.800 morning the sun rose the next evening the sun set and life moved on and it was done and the same

00:35:02.180 thing happened with the iran deal so president trump was starting to realize that certain variables that

00:35:06.560 people thought were fixed were actually fluid and i give many examples in the book of these

00:35:11.300 interactions and how we moved around all these different uh elements in order to create the

00:35:16.120 opportunity for people to see the israeli-palestinian issue for what it really was and to see that it

00:35:21.180 really was about leadership trying to stay in power so they could maintain the flow of funds that they

00:35:25.900 had and they had no interest in making the lives of their people better i believe that the the job of

00:35:30.600 a leader is number one to keep their people safe and number two to give them an environment where they

00:35:35.240 can have opportunity to better their lives and their children's lives and have hope and and and excitement for the

00:35:40.900 future so and the palestinian leadership was was was not doing that in your book we're talking to

00:35:45.640 jared kushner in his book breaking history a white house memoir um you you talk about one of the things

00:35:53.420 that you were doing was and totally makes sense you united the middle east um because you recognize the

00:36:00.780 common foe was iran and that kind of brought people together and and when your dad or when your father-in-law 0.95

00:36:09.940 the president got out of uh the iran uh you know the stupid dangerous iran uh peace deal um that made a 0.94

00:36:20.500 difference how much of a role did that play and what does it mean that we are sitting down at the 0.98

00:36:29.060 table with iran now so the first deal in 2014 was probably one of the worst transactions ever done

00:36:37.080 it may be in the history of of diplomacy and it just made absolutely no sense iran was on a glide

00:36:42.500 path to a nuclear weapon uh they had gotten 150 billion dollars in funds that were basically now

00:36:48.460 they were using to to fund hezbollah hamas all these different people they were chanting death to

00:36:52.820 america death to israel it made absolutely no sense but what it did is it kind of scared the crap out of 0.62

00:36:57.600 all of the arab countries to say okay this is uh this could be that bad and actually when we got there 0.98

00:37:03.480 they were starting to rebuild their relationship with china and saying look are we you know when

00:37:07.860 america when did the deal with persia we were thinking we had to teach our kids chinese because

00:37:11.820 america was not dependable anymore and we said wait guys wait wait a minute calm down here these these

00:37:16.920 these relationships that we've had with you guys have been long-standing many many decades

00:37:20.620 you know we we agree that what happened here was terrible but let's figure out a rational policy and we

00:37:25.800 we what we did is we reimposed sanctions on iran we took their um their oil exports down from 2.6

00:37:31.900 million barrels a day to 100 000 uh we really dissected their economy and we we they were

00:37:37.080 out of foreign currency reserves and we stopped and what trump you say about iran is that they never

00:37:41.780 uh won a war but they've never lost a negotiation and so he figured out how to really create a better

00:37:47.000 condition than what we inherited and we really tried to give the incoming administration a much

00:37:51.580 stronger hand which was only buttressed by the fact that we had iraq much more stable than when we

00:37:56.120 got there isis caliphate was was was eliminated and now we had the abraham accord so all the way from

00:38:01.820 haifa our goal is to try to create a place of security from haifa to muskot in in amman and

00:38:07.500 then get economic connectivity between it all to basically show the iranian people that there would

00:38:12.600 be the opportunity for you to live a better life if you join into this so instead of following again

00:38:17.240 we had six peace deals in the last six months i write about how we made those occur uh instead the 0.97

00:38:22.880 administration runs and goes back to iran on their knees begging to make the old stupid deal and so 0.70

00:38:27.340 it makes no sense to me but again i think that what you'll see in this book is that 0.98

00:38:31.240 we came with an outsider's perspective we we tried to bring common sense and again we we really broke

00:38:36.980 the mold on a lot of issues and did things contrary to what people who were the conventional thinkers in

00:38:41.860 washington did and why they did those things for decades before we got there i didn't understand

00:38:46.880 why they're going back to some of these things now that you know we've seen that these policies that

00:38:51.300 that were different are working uh it makes absolutely no sense uh we are going to be short

00:38:57.380 on time so i uh there's so many questions i'd like to ask you for instance uh you know if you would

00:39:04.260 have thrown in bad stuff about president trump you would have made a fortune and the left would have

00:39:11.940 loved you and leave left you alone and you didn't do it congratulations

00:39:18.200 yeah i i've learned that the the the love of the left is something that is uh it's not worth what

00:39:25.320 people think it is i see people contorting themselves and saying certain things that

00:39:29.300 they don't believe or not saying certain things that they believe uh but the left has no loyalty

00:39:33.780 they turn on you in a second and uh i think it's much better to say the truth and and look i i do think

00:39:39.080 that being in the white house i i saw so much information asymmetry in terms of how we recovered what we

00:39:45.220 did uh but again there was two currents in this book that that i tried to capture uh happening at

00:39:50.280 the same time one was that we run to relentless attacks being accused of collusion with russia

00:39:55.120 and treason and then you know we're impeached for for trying to investigate corruption in ukraine and

00:40:00.060 attacked by the media and i tried to show what it was like living through all of that while also

00:40:05.200 getting all these things done right when president trump uh you know in office we had

00:40:09.100 inflation was low gas prices were low wages were rising the wealth gap was shrinking we had peace in

00:40:14.840 europe we had peace with you know with china we were making great deals we had them on their back 1.00

00:40:18.660 foot and that didn't all happen by accident and so i tried to take people inside the room and the

00:40:23.840 trade deals the negotiations with president putin the negotiations with with king solomon the

00:40:28.740 negotiations with with president xi and how trump used his unusual style in order to achieve these

00:40:35.420 outcomes and at the end of the day i find a lot of my friends who are on the left they hyperventilate

00:40:39.180 over different things that trump will say or how they they perceive it but i think that results

00:40:45.020 matter and i want people to understand how those results were achieved and it's been very disheartening

00:40:49.840 for me to watch how again you put the government bureaucrats back in charge and inflation is rising we have a

00:40:55.420 war in europe china's you know being provocative with taiwan north korea is firing off weapons i write

00:41:01.180 in here about how trump was able to create the relationship with king john kim jong-un and going to the

00:41:06.560 dmz how he walked into north korea nobody knows how that came about and how it almost didn't happen

00:41:12.540 uh many many times and so i wanted people to really understand how he did the things and why

00:41:17.680 him being the way he is empowered by and working with the right people around him enabled him to

00:41:23.780 accomplish so much um your your book is fascinating and it it i mean it really is a thriller all of the

00:41:32.060 things you just laid out it is it's a thriller um uh let me ask you one thing because there was there's

00:41:39.160 parts of the book that get very very personal and uh one of my favorite parts is when you talk about

00:41:45.820 your grandma and we've only got about two minutes your grandmother was 16 when the nazis invaded poland

00:41:53.420 your family went from ghettos to mansions in three generations which is remarkable can you talk a

00:42:01.360 little bit what your grandmother went through and how that affected you with the abrahamic accords

00:42:07.260 sure uh so my my grandparents were both in uh in belarus and and then the nazis came in my

00:42:14.060 grandmother i write about how in her town they took a 50 of the educated jews they shot them in the head

00:42:19.220 the nazis and then they made the young women uh like my grandmother cleaned the blood off of the stones 0.98

00:42:24.400 while they had you know other jews playing instruments to to to celebrate it it was a brutal experience 0.99

00:42:29.780 they joined uh the resistance fighters in the woods they were you know out of a town of 10 000 250

00:42:34.540 uh that escaped and then ultimately they got married in hungary they came over to america

00:42:39.280 on a boat i write about how my grandfather went to new jersey he was a carpenter he said he was afraid

00:42:44.260 of heights so he couldn't work in the buildings in brooklyn so they said go to new jersey they have

00:42:47.800 shorter buildings there and uh and it's just an amazing american story and so i try to take people

00:42:52.760 through that very quickly but i'll say that for me you know again i i what i saw working in the white

00:42:58.280 house going from you know the son of refugee the grandson of refugees is that america is an absolute

00:43:04.380 amazing country it's a place with incredible opportunity we have amazing people and what

00:43:09.640 president trump tried to do with the administration was to allow for the american dream to to be

00:43:15.000 prevalent allow for it to be deep to give everyone equal opportunity uh and i think that's what our

00:43:19.660 policies did and for me to be able to work on the abraham accords as a grandchild of holocaust 0.61

00:43:24.000 survivors and i talk about my interactions with the germans where i was actually very

00:43:27.780 disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm and the lack of of of of engagement that they had with us

00:43:34.160 given that you know the whole plight that we still have in the middle east i explain how it

00:43:37.860 really is a a remnant of the post-world war ii anti-semitism that existed because of the holocaust

00:43:43.860 and because of the nazis and so i i just think that it was an amazing honor to do it and and i say

00:43:49.240 it is an extraordinary story and i really you know i believe that god has his hand in in everything

00:43:53.940 we do i i'm very very a big believer in that and just very very grateful for all these experiences

00:43:59.280 and again i a lot of it was very difficult i write in the first year about how i had to adjust i was

00:44:04.580 surrounded by a lot of complicated people um but i go through the lessons i learned and i was trying

00:44:09.020 to give people who have never served in washington who who obviously have followed the trump administration

00:44:14.120 who follow politics a real insight into what it's like to serve in washington what it's like to

00:44:18.980 to work in the white house and what it's like to kind of navigate and all the lessons i learned so

00:44:23.700 that hopefully uh businessmen will will continue to go and serve in government so we don't have the

00:44:28.420 career political class that often is trying to keep power as opposed to make people's lives better

00:44:33.460 jared kushner uh the name of the book is breaking history uh if you don't know where have you been he

00:44:40.660 was a former senior advisor to president trump uh and this book is really a thriller to see from the

00:44:48.520 inside what was going on and how they did the things that uh they did by the way you were nominated for

00:44:54.440 a nobel peace prize please tell me you didn't lose it to like greta thurnberg or no i i lost it to a

00:45:02.420 journalist who nobody's ever heard of we did something i guess but i guess i i guess they created more

00:45:07.600 peace than we did yeah yeah it's crazy you know i it's it's you know the the the peace is the prize

00:45:14.060 and i see every day i get you know people send me pictures of israeli fruit being sold in emirati

00:45:18.740 supermarkets or of new flights or of new business deals being done and and really reuniting israelis

00:45:24.400 and and and and muslims it's just jews and muslims in in the middle east it's it's such a beautiful

00:45:29.920 thing and so the dividends from this is paying forever in terms of the positivity that that that it's

00:45:35.040 unleashed well i think it was truly a miracle i agree with you god was in the center of that and

00:45:39.820 i can't thank you enough jared kushner author of the book breaking you so much thank you

00:45:44.840 you
