00:10:17.640It was exactly what the Trump administration had set forth.
00:10:19.960I saw the State Department talking about recently how there had been unprecedented peace.
00:10:25.000Well, yeah, of course there had been, because there was actually a good plan to do this, but you abandoned it.
00:10:30.600You abandoned it when you started going back to Iran and incentivizing them to do what they're doing now.
00:10:39.280And it was absolutely insane how we saw over the weekend.
00:10:41.700You saw how Kirby and the rest of the State Department were trying to backtrack furiously and saying, oh, no, the $6 billion we gave did nothing.
00:10:50.340You know, it's in a secure account in Doha.
00:10:53.040And, you know, it was for health aid and, you know, humanitarian aid.
00:10:57.260Well, what do you think they're going to divert their funds to once they knew that they didn't have to divert all the other money, the billions of dollars to medicine and food and all that?
00:11:05.060What do you think they were going to divert that money to terrorist attacks?
00:14:23.120In light of the continuous crimes against our people, and in light of the occupation's rampage,
00:14:32.520and its disregard for international laws and resolutions, and in light of the American and Western support of Israel and the international silence,
00:14:40.940we have decided to put an end to all of this with the help of Allah.
00:14:44.280So the enemy understands that the time it could go on a rampage without being held accountable is over.
00:14:54.000We declare the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Deluge to say to our young people in the West Bank from the various organizations,
00:15:02.160today is your day to sweep out the occupiers and their settlements from all of our lands in the West Bank,
00:15:10.400to make them pay the price for their crimes over the lean years.
00:15:16.740Organize your attacks on the settlements with all your means at your disposal.
00:15:23.580Torch the earth under the feet of the plundering occupiers.
00:15:28.220Kill, burn, destroy, and shut down roads.
00:15:30.980Make the cowardly occupiers understand that the Al-Aqsa Deluge is bigger than they think.
00:15:38.080The day has come when anyone who has a gun should take it out.
00:20:15.960That's the equivalent of during the World War II if we had known about what was happening to Jews and then people marching in the streets of New York, parading and glorifying the Nazis.
00:20:56.720We've provided, you know, basically a, you know, a big stick in the background to sit, you know, to wave it around and make sure that nobody else gets involved.
00:21:04.180And that's what we're going to do here.
00:21:05.500We're going to sit probably off the coast with the aircraft carrier.
00:21:08.600I think there's already one in the mouth.
00:21:10.320But we're going to hope that Iran doesn't directly get involved.
00:21:14.700If they direct, they're indirectly involved right now because they're using a proxy.
00:24:25.420First, with regard to the funds that you mentioned that were released to or were made available to Iran for humanitarian purposes as part of getting Americans back or being held and detained in Iran.
00:25:54.640Is that is that what he was saying there?
00:25:57.980He is actually claiming that when we give six billion dollars to terrorists, it all gets used for food and medicine.
00:26:04.520And let me tell you, I would like to sell that guy a bridge, because if you believe that it's simply, you know, I've I've I've worked on Iran's budget for five years.
00:26:37.980Is there any doubt in your mind that that six billion dollar gift from the Biden administration spurred this on or helped this go through?
00:26:52.940You know, one thing that's really interesting is the Wall Street Journal has reported that in August, Iran started planning and ultimately approved these attacks.
00:27:03.080August is exactly when the Biden administration announced that they were going to give Iran the six billion dollars.
00:27:50.280And frankly, it's really interesting that the Biden administration is going out on TV actively saying, hey, this is all this is all nonsense.
00:28:01.000And it's really because their Iran policy has failed.
00:28:04.660They're trying to cover up for the fact that they have given billions and billions of dollars away, not just the six billion, but tens of billions of dollars through oil sales.
00:28:16.900They are now Iran is exporting two million barrels of oil per day at something like eighty five dollars a barrel.
00:28:24.500That is an enormous amount of money that goes straight to the IRGC, which is Iran's terror arm.
00:28:31.400Republicans and even some Democrats have been criticizing them for this.
00:28:35.380And so they feel this administration feels extremely vulnerable on this.
00:28:39.860And so they're going on TV and saying, nope, Iran had nothing to do with this.
00:28:43.820How how close to a nuclear weapon are they?
00:28:51.680They are about 10 days away from having the fissile material for a bomb.
00:28:56.480That's all that uranium at a highly enriched level.
00:28:59.640But they are still quite a ways away from actually being able to take that uranium and make it a functioning bomb that can explode.
00:29:06.380That's more like nine months, maybe a year away.
00:29:09.720So we should be we should be concerned.
00:29:12.140But we don't have to worry that things about to explode tomorrow.
00:29:15.520So Iran has we suspect they haven't admitted it yet, but they we suspect them of being involved.
00:29:26.580According to The Wall Street Journal, they were.
00:29:29.760They have said that if Israel puts boots on the ground in Gaza, they will get involved.
00:29:38.840What is our response to this, do you suppose?
00:29:42.440You know, when I was working for Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, we had a pretty clear policy.
00:29:49.100We said to Iran, if you or any of your proxies like Hamas or Hezbollah touch a hair on the head of an American citizen, we will hold you, Iran, responsible for this.
00:30:00.160Now, what we've seen is these attacks have killed nine Americans.
00:30:04.580Now, I am not saying there should be U.S. boots on the ground anywhere, but we can do something to Iran that makes them pay for for what they did and makes clear to them they do not get to threaten Israel.
00:30:16.420There are 200,000 Americans living in Israel today.
00:30:19.300We are not going to accept this and we will put our foot down right now.
00:30:25.160President, you know, Secretary Blinken is out there calling for ceasefires and deescalation.
00:30:30.720Let me tell you, if if the United Kingdom or any country after 9-11, September 13th had said, hey, we call for deescalation.
00:30:40.940We would have told them to, you know what, the idea that after 700 of your daughters and sons are massacred, after your grandparents are massacred in their homes, that we should deescalate or have restraint.
00:30:56.080That is an incredible statement to me.
00:31:00.040And so, no, Israel deserves to have its defense.
00:31:04.220They deserve to defend themselves as long as it takes.
00:31:39.120And and I think, you know what, if there's one thing that the last century taught us, it's that we should believe dictators when they tell us that they're going to do something.
00:31:47.780When they tell us their plans and intentions, we should take them at face value.
00:31:51.840And so one thing I've heard a lot in the last two days is a lot of people who were supportive of the two state solution simply coming around and saying, you know what, I just don't believe in that anymore.
00:32:03.020I just don't see how that's possible after they've done something like this.
00:32:19.480I don't think there's really a political body can go back to this and and treat this like this didn't happen and there's some path to a two state solution anymore.
00:32:33.520I think that there's plenty of people in Washington that would love to disagree with you on that.
00:32:38.840There's plenty of people in Washington that are I think this administration has a lot of them in the internal machine that are not fans of Israel and will not want to will not want to help them.
00:32:57.980And that's one one evidence for that is the first tweet that came out of the Biden administration is the State Department's Office of Palestinian Affairs.
00:33:06.240And again, right after Israelis had been massacred, they were calling for restraint and de-escalation.
00:33:14.800Look, I worked with a lot of diplomats, a lot of really fine Americans there.
00:33:19.200There's also a lot of of rot in that system where they don't understand.
00:33:24.600They don't have moral clarity on these issues.
00:33:26.940And it's really unfortunate that we see that.
00:33:29.880And I think Israel is perhaps their major blind spot of anywhere in the world.
00:33:34.700And having this sort of intellectual both sides is that both sides are at fault.
00:33:43.020No, one side here is is going and killing 260 young people at music festivals.
00:33:56.400And they and they shouldn't be treated like normal combatants because they're not.
00:34:00.900So do you think they've shot their wad here?
00:34:03.960Is this is this it or are there more things you think coming?
00:34:10.220What I'm really concerned about is the northern front of Hezbollah starting to make inroads.
00:34:18.440What we've just seen is Israel's reported that operatives have infiltrated the northern border.
00:34:23.680They are urging Israeli civilians to stay inside their homes, to lock their doors.
00:34:29.720Israel's military is gearing up for a fight.
00:34:33.040I hope and we should all hope and pray that nothing happens there.
00:34:37.320But there's a really significant possibility that this turns into a multi front war, kind of like we saw 50 years ago in the Yom Kippur War.
00:34:47.160If that happens, it is an existential threat for the state of Israel.
00:34:52.060It's one I believe it will win, but it will be extremely painful and costly in human lives.
00:35:56.260Israel has always had to rely just on the United States and just on itself.
00:36:01.280Europe, you know, I've been surprised European countries have been a little bit better than I thought they would be.
00:36:05.700But it will last for only a little bit, though.
00:36:09.820As soon as Israel starts retaliating, as they have every right to, you're going to start seeing signs in the Europeans saying, oh, we need to de-escalate.
00:44:05.920I'm going to give you the history of the conflict that is currently underway in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
00:44:16.520It is, um, it was a horrid, horrid weekend on a joyous holiday.
00:44:27.680It's not a coincidence they hit them on the Sabbath, but also the Jewish holiday that is supposed to be the most joyous holiday of the year.
00:44:40.720We'll tell you what happened and why it's happening in 60 seconds.
00:44:44.680First, let me go out on a limb here and make a bold statement.
00:44:48.780It shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg every time you want to throw some steaks on a grill.
00:45:03.120If you are, uh, if you're a meat lover, if you like chicken, pork, beef, even fish, freshly caught fish, you can get it from good ranchers.
00:45:16.56085% of grass fed beef is imported from overseas.
00:45:24.780Listen, don't settle for less than the best and don't settle for meat that's been raised overseas and don't settle for the prices in the grocery store.
00:45:34.880Head on over to good ranchers.com and use the promo code back for $25 off any of your boxes that you order.
00:45:41.780You can do some serious good for yourself, your family, and others by having good American meat delivered right to your door.
00:46:21.100The 12ers are the ones that believe in the 12th, the mom, the 12th, the mom, after the death of the, uh, prophet Muhammad crawled into a well because he needed to be protected from those who wanted to kill him.
00:46:35.920So he was a little boy, he crawled into a well and they still, these 12ers believe that someday he's going to crawl out of that well and he's going to lead the March.
00:46:49.300And, uh, he'll, uh, he'll be part of what we know as the apocalypse.
00:46:57.540He will be, he'll be on the March and he'll be with what, again, we know as the antichrist.
00:47:16.080The 12ers are the most dangerous Muslim, uh, sect out there.
00:47:24.960They're so dangerous that the Ayatollah Khomeini in 1979 outlawed 12ers.
00:47:33.640The problem with that is elections have consequences.
00:47:40.340Almost everybody now in the regime in Iran is a 12er.
00:47:45.500So the first thing you have to do is take these religious people very seriously.
00:47:53.680And literally they believe they can hasten the return of the promised one by washing the world in blood, their scriptural words, not mine, that they are going to bring the fires of the Islamic fury to Israel.
00:48:19.360And when they kill all of the Jews, the promised one will come.
00:48:27.140We are also known to them as the great Satan.
00:48:32.560They are serious about destroying Israel and us.
00:48:38.780Try not to think of that open border where about 4 million people are coming through.
00:49:55.340But he thinks he can work with Hitler because they both hate Jews.
00:50:03.260So he went up to Berlin and he stayed in Berlin from 1941 to 1945.
00:50:11.380And he became friends and was seen at the Reich Chancellery.
00:50:16.400The first thing he did was ask Hitler for a public statement or a secret but formal treaty.
00:50:27.040What he was looking for was a pledge not to occupy Arab land, to recognize the Arabs strive for independence, and three, support the removal of the proposed Jewish homeland in Palestine.
00:50:46.920Well, Hitler was like, there can't be a two-state solution here.
00:50:52.520Now, remember, this is before Israel even exists.
00:50:56.360So it's not like we're oppressed by this Jewish state.
00:51:03.520What his goal was was to get rid of all of the Jews in the same way that Hitler wanted to get rid of all of the Jews.
00:51:13.460So this is before the state of Israel, which the Palestinians say is the problem.
00:51:24.480And anyone who says that they will go for a two-state solution doesn't understand the history and also doesn't understand the religiosity of this problem.
00:51:35.760So, Hitler confirmed that the struggle against the Jewish homeland in Palestine would be part of the struggle against the Jews.
00:51:45.820And he said, quote, he would continue the struggle until the complete destruction of the Jewish communist European Empire.
00:51:54.740And when the German army was in proximity to the Arab world, Germany would issue an assurance to the Arab world that the hour of liberation was at hand.
00:52:06.020It would then be al-Husani's responsibility to unleash Arab action that he had prepared.
00:52:12.720The Fuhrer stated that Germany would not intervene in any eternal Arab matters and that only the only German goal at the time would be the annihilation of Jews.
00:52:31.840And his role in shaping Muslim perception of Jews is probably the most important thing that he did in his life.
00:52:44.940He also was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:52:47.780But him shaping the views of Arabs' minds when they look at a Jew comes from him.
00:52:57.920He did political activism in Palestine, in Germany, and he was also a writer.
00:53:08.580And he wrote a little booklet, and he made it for Muslim soldiers that would enlist in a very special Nazi SS division in Bosnia.
00:53:21.920When he was in with Hitler, he spent time with Heinrich Himmler.
00:53:31.920Himmler had a fascination with Islam and the zealous support for the Nazi cause from the Grand Mufti.
00:53:40.940They started talking about common interests and enterprises, and that led to the all-volunteer Waffen-SS division in Bosnia, made up mostly of Bosnian Muslims.
00:53:58.760This is, if you happen to be watching, I'll describe it if you're not, this is a fez.
00:54:45.600I don't think I can get the light to shine in it bright enough.
00:54:49.020But it's where this hat was made that's important.
00:54:53.180This particular hat was made in Dachau by the Jews.
00:55:00.440So while they were interned and being brutalized and killed, they were also forced to make the Muslim hat, the fez, that the SS officers from the Arab descent would wear.
00:55:22.640Some people say that it was his idea to have the death camps.
00:55:29.700But more likely, it was Himmler talking to him about the death camps because he wanted to build them all over the Middle East.
00:55:40.420When the war was over with Germany, then Germany would help them build death camps for Jews all over the Middle East and get rid of them there.
00:55:49.580When they say we are, for instance, this is the great day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth.
00:56:07.500That is the Hamas commander over the weekend.
00:56:10.520This is the day of the greatest battle to end the last occupation on Earth.
00:56:20.580When they speak like that, you have to take them seriously and know what they're talking about.
00:56:30.020There is a battle called Al-Mamahat Al-Kubra, and I'm sure I'm saying that right.
00:56:37.580It is a great battle, one of the greatest battles, to end the last occupation on Earth.
00:56:47.860It is an end times battle, according to Muslim eschatology.
01:06:25.220And Christiane Anandpour just laughed.
01:06:30.140If I said that about deprogramming, Donald Trump needs to get in to deprogram the Democrats who have
01:06:39.160gone into this Marxist cult, would they laugh?
01:06:44.240Or would they say that's the most outrageous thing ever?
01:06:47.380And is it because they're not serious when they say it, and I would be taken seriously?
01:06:56.740She's just as serious as anybody who would say anything about deprogramming people out of a cult, and that cult is, I think, I think it's the Constitution.
01:09:00.060Because every time they demonetize a story or label it as misinformation, they also suppress it.
01:09:07.500Most Americans get their news on social media, in their feeds.
01:09:11.880And big tech uses the demonetization and misinformation labels as a tool to make sure that that story, whatever it is we're talking about, doesn't make your feed.
01:09:24.260Instead, we're, quite frankly, sick of it.
01:10:02.720Also, Mercury One, as soon as we heard about the attack on Israel, we reached out to each other at Mercury One.
01:10:12.960And then we reached to all of our partners in Israel.
01:10:16.120We have purchased, they're called ambul cycles, I think.
01:10:24.080They're ambulances, but they're on motorcycles because it is hard to get through the streets, especially, you know, they're very, very tight in the old city.
01:10:31.780And there's just not enough of them to go around.
01:10:36.280So what we have provided are these motorcycle ambulances and they go with paramedics and they can stay with the person in that neighborhood.
01:10:48.300So if there's a problem, they can be first in the scene.
01:10:52.140Well, we called them and asked them how they were doing over the weekend.
01:10:58.240They said they used all of the supplies that were supposed to last them for the next six months in the last 24 hours.
01:11:06.040So we gathered together and let our donor base know within two hours of that email going out, we had raised $67,000 in the last 24.
01:11:21.440We've raised $261,000 just to be able to get medical supplies to the people who need them.
01:11:29.780And it's going to get worse in Israel.
01:11:33.080Now, our promise to you is 100% of everything that we raise for these things goes downrange except for the credit card fees.
01:11:43.480And that helps us directly to help the people of Israel or wherever without any overhead.
01:13:17.380And I fear it's going to, you know, sort of snowball into something a lot larger.
01:13:22.180I would not be surprised to see other bad actors in the region try to get in on the action and turn this into a multi-front war for Israel.
01:25:28.800Earlier on the podcast today, I talked about the ancient history that is going on between Israel and the Arab world.
01:25:41.220And the history that happened back in the 1930s with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the poison he was spreading and is still spreading throughout the Arab world.
01:25:59.680When Iran says, or Hamas says, or Hezbollah says, we are going to burn Israel in the fury of the Islamic fire, or we are going to annihilate Israel, all things they said this weekend, take them seriously.
01:27:09.720Imagine this is their 9-11 because they couldn't imagine that Hamas would ever do anything like this, just like we couldn't imagine Al-Qaeda flying planes into the World Trade Center.
01:27:28.700Things are coming that are not going to be easy to get through.
01:27:33.000Would you please just make sure that you have everything that your family needs through MyPatriotSupply.com?
01:27:39.840The unthinkable can happen at a moment's notice.
01:28:18.820You know, it was just 10 days ago or so that I had a three-hour dinner with Benjamin Netanyahu, and we talked about all the threats that Israel was facing, but nobody could have imagined this.
01:28:32.240Raping, raping Jewish women, killing Jewish babies, and Harvard law students are supporting it.
01:28:39.560Harvard law students are supporting it.
01:28:41.940A group of about 30 Harvard organizations has supported Hamas and said this is all the blame of Israel.
01:28:51.220Women being raped is the fault of Israel.
01:28:55.140Barack Obama hasn't said an effing word about this.
01:28:59.520You can imagine if this were directed against any other minority.
01:29:23.680These are the people today who are being educated to become the heads of our legislative, executive, and judicial branch, the heads of the New York Times.
01:29:32.980We are a country in moral crisis when you get our future leaders defending rapists and murderers and putting the blame on innocent people who just went to a concert.
01:29:47.120But let's remember where the real focus is.
01:29:54.120We now know from Wall Street Journal reporting that there were meetings in Lebanon in which Iran gave them the green light, told them to go forward.
01:30:04.160And this will never end unless there's regime change in Iran.
01:30:09.060And the first step that should be taken is for the United States and Israel, together with the fleet that is now approaching the eastern Mediterranean, to destroy Iran's nuclear reactor.
01:30:22.760They cannot come out of this thing a winner.
01:30:26.100Iran must come out of this thing losing its most valuable weapon, the nuclear arsenal.
01:30:32.080The United States and Israel and Saudi Arabia all would like to see Iran's nuclear arsenal destroyed.
01:30:38.940This is the time to do it, because the world will finally understand that Iran is behind all this and that, you know, Hamas and Hezbollah are puppets, mere surrogates that just do the bidding of this horrible, horrible Nazi regime in Iran that will never be satisfied with the two-state solution, with the end of the occupation.
01:31:03.340They want Israel wiped off the map and every single Israeli Jew murdered.
01:31:09.760And if there was ever, ever proof of that, it's this horrible genocide.
01:31:15.440So more people were killed this weekend.
01:31:18.000More Jews were killed during Kristallnacht.
01:31:19.840And, you know, we keep forgetting that Harvard, places like Harvard, were a center of Nazi support during the 1930s.
01:31:54.060So, Alan, I hate to say it, but I think that America is, you're right, we're in a moral crisis right now.
01:32:09.580How you can watch this and not be just horrified at what you saw.
01:32:16.680But I believe, now Stu said it would take a few days or maybe even a week or so, but I believe as soon as that number becomes more people killed in Palestine than they slaughtered in Israel,
01:32:34.300I think people are going to immediately say, okay, okay, that's enough, now you're being a bully.
01:32:40.100No, I mean, I don't know what the number is or how you're going to wipe this out, but Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, those regimes have got to go.
01:32:52.680They've got to go, or you're never going to have any kind of peace.
01:32:55.760You're right, but already there are people calling for a ceasefire.
01:33:00.660With almost a thousand Israelis, maybe even more murdered, and perhaps as many as a hundred holding hostage, they're calling for a ceasefire.
01:33:08.900Let them first arrange for all the hostages to be sent back, then call for a ceasefire.
01:33:14.380But don't call for a ceasefire while there are a hundred Israelis and some Americans and some people from other countries, Brits and other countries, that are being held hostage.
01:33:25.360These are young women, babies, Holocaust survivors, people my age.
01:33:31.740I wish I were young enough to go to Israel and fight for them, because this is an existential battle, not only for the survival of the nation state of the Jewish people,
01:33:40.740but for the survival of democratic Western Judeo-Christian values, which are at stake here.
01:33:48.460You know, the head, Mu'ah, recently said Israel's first, but they're not the last.
01:33:55.600Christianity is being attacked all over the Middle East by radical Muslims who will not rest until every Jew and every Christian is dead or converted.
01:34:06.960So, you know, this is a fight for the survival of everything that we believe in.
01:34:16.260And America and Israel not only must stand together, but all Americans must stand together.
01:34:22.140Barack Obama has to get up and make a statement.
01:34:24.760Yeah, he's going to lose some friends among the Hamas people.
01:34:27.180The squad, the evil squad must stand up in support of American and Israeli values, but they won't, the Harvard students, the Yale students.
01:34:39.600City University of New York, I went to that university.
01:34:44.980It was a free school for children of immigrants.
01:34:47.540Today, it's a radical hotbed of progressive, woke, and even communist involvement where everything is the fault of, and by the way, they don't care about Israel.
01:35:03.180You know, we're the big Satan, according to the students at the City University of New York, paid for by me and you, by taxpayer money, federal and state money.
01:35:14.740These are students and faculty and deans that are calling for the destruction of Israel.
01:35:20.760You know, the faculty at City University of New York, the faculty of the law school unanimously voted for a boycott against Israel.
01:35:30.920That's the faculty of a major law school in New York City.
01:35:36.220I mean, we are in a crisis of unknown dimensions, and we have to fight back with all of our moral force.
01:35:45.360We have the majority, but we are silent.
01:35:48.280It's the hundreds of students at these major universities that are speaking out, the thousands and tens of thousands who support the United States and support Israel.
01:35:59.640Let's remember here, this was as much an attack on the United States as it was in Israel.
01:36:03.980The Israelis are the victims directly, but this was an attempt to try to destroy efforts by the United States to bring about peace between the Saudis, the United States, and Israel.
01:36:16.620And so this is a direct attack on the United States.
01:36:19.820I will tell you, Ellen, I am with you on everything you say on this.
01:36:25.960Israel is our closest and our best ally, I believe.
01:36:29.620There's all kinds of biblical reasons to support Israel and stand on their side, but I am so concerned that our military has been so degraded, we are out of cash, we've used seven years of our missiles and sent them over to Ukraine.
01:36:53.800It'll take us seven years to be able to manufacture them and get them back online.
01:36:59.980And now we're $6 billion to the terrorist regime of Tehran.
01:37:06.020First of all, there should immediately be a lawsuit brought by relatives of the victims of this terror, particularly Americans.
01:37:14.240There are many Americans who were killed and captured lawsuits brought to freeze the $6 billion and use it to compensate the victims of the Iranian hostilities.
01:37:25.740There's no reason why they should be able to get one penny.
01:37:29.020And Secretary of State Blinken, who does he think he's fooling when he says, oh, this money isn't going to weapons.
01:37:34.780It's going to to food. Iran's a rich country.
01:37:39.000They don't need our money to get them food and medicine.
01:37:42.240They can afford that. Just divert a little bit of it away from their terrorism and toward toward really humanitarian issues.
01:37:50.300So not a single penny should be allowed to be unfrozen and given to Iran.
01:37:55.880And we have to stop that. Lawsuits should be brought, and I would be happy to cooperate in any such lawsuit to freeze that money and make sure not a penny of it goes to support further terrorist acts.
01:38:07.840When you pay $6 billion to release an American hostage, what you're simply doing is raising the price for hostage taking, and there'll be more hostage taking.
01:38:22.100I wrote a book many years ago called Why Terrorism Works, and the answer was very simple because we pay for it.
01:38:28.440We reward it, and Iran is the winner here.
01:38:31.040They're sitting there in Tehran, and they're gloating, and they're laughing while Israelis and Palestinian mothers and children are suffering.
01:38:39.320They don't care. Not a single Iranian has been killed in this.
01:38:43.620They're the winners, and we can't allow them to be the winners.
01:38:46.400I have an article in today's New York Post saying that the only answer is to hold Iran completely responsible for this and treat them as if they were the ones who came to that art festival and raped and murdered innocent people.
01:39:02.860This is one of the reasons, though, that I haven't voted for a Democrat, especially recently.
01:39:09.320The whole Iranian bill that they passed and that Donald Trump brought back, I mean, they've lost their mind on Middle East politics, in my opinion.
01:39:22.780I agree with you, but look, I want to commend President Biden for the statement he made yesterday.
01:39:30.820It was a wholehearted, full-throated statement in support.
01:39:35.020Sending the Gerald Ford group of aircraft carrier into the Middle East is a good thing.
01:39:42.720So I don't want to make this into a partisan issue.
01:39:46.240I want Americans of all political stripes to support it and marginalize the Barack Obamas who won't say anything.
01:39:54.860I bet you Barack Obama will say something.
01:39:57.080I mean, his people will call him and say, look, you're being attacked, you're being criticized.
01:40:01.420He'll probably make some mealy-mouthed statement.
01:40:03.620But Barack Obama is one of the great villains of this piece.
01:40:07.860You know, he called me into the Oval Office just before his second election, and he said, Alan, you know me for a long time.
01:40:13.360You know, I was a teacher, he was a student at Harvard.
01:40:16.080He said, you know I have Israel's back.
01:40:17.980What I didn't realize is that he was painting a target on it and allowing Israel to be used as the scapegoat.
01:40:24.920As he was leaving office, he gave one last goodbye present to Israel.
01:40:30.200He allowed the United Nations to declare the Security Council, with the United States vote,
01:40:35.940to declare the Western Wall, the holiest place of Judaism, something that's been part of Judaism for thousands of years,
01:40:44.040to declare that legally occupied territory.
01:40:47.200The Hadassah Hospital, the Hebrew University, all of which he, Barack Obama, allowed to be called illegally occupied territory.
01:48:30.100You know, we have, sitting side by side in our museum, our library, I have a letter from Chamberlain saying, hey, I just met with your Fuhrer.
01:49:34.820He hadn't gone into Poland and done this.
01:49:37.580How these people can have any credibility when they were going house to house.
01:49:42.300Execution style, taking whole families, moms, dads, children and shooting them execution style, then going to the next department, then going to the next department.
01:50:12.460To the point of some of these terrorists were coming in, abducting people that they were going to murder.
01:50:20.340And before they murdered them, they were stealing their phones and opening up the victims' social media pages.
01:50:27.880So the victims' Instagram account and then posting their own murders to their own accounts so that all of their followers, their friends, their families would see the murders on these social media feeds.
01:50:41.160This is well beyond anything that is even worth considering negotiation on.
01:50:47.560We're so far past that it's disgusting.
01:50:50.020And, you know, there are some pretty smart historians, Glenn, that will say, you know, while Britain should have prepared for war, it might have been a smart initial attempt to try to figure out a way to smooth this over, right?
01:51:05.840They certainly should have believed Hitler.
01:54:21.600And the numbers are going to keep going up.
01:54:22.920There's a ton in hospitals and everything else.
01:54:25.920Now, of course, they rounded up tens of thousands of Jews in that incident, and many of them, or all of them, probably wound up dying.
01:54:32.260But that night, it was 91, is the estimate, of how many people died.
01:54:37.640This is, I mean, they are saying this is the worst single day of atrocities versus the Jewish people since World War II, since the Holocaust.
01:58:54.260Life's not really a rainbow right now.
01:58:56.980The U.S. economy seems like it's doing a little better.
01:59:01.840But people like Jamie Dimon, the CEO of J.P. Morgan, warns otherwise.
01:59:07.940You need to be protected for the coming tide of economic problems.
01:59:12.440I had a bunch of stuff for the economy today.
01:59:15.360We're going to have to do it on tomorrow's program.
01:59:17.160But I personally think that Russia and China and everybody else is doing what we did to the former Soviet Union at the end of the Soviet Union.
02:04:10.800I'm saying there should be or after the covid funds were stolen or after the IRS was told to back off of Hunter Biden or or after we find out about the social media being told Glenn back program.
