Iran attacked Israel with hundreds of rockets and missiles last night,
00:00:09.360
and the Israeli Defense Force says the U.S., the U.K., and Israel successfully intercepted 99% of
00:00:17.040
them. By the way, the Arab state of Jordan also joining with the U.S., the U.K., and Israel in
00:00:24.580
defending Israel. There's been to this point no specific casualty or damage report from Israel.
00:00:30.280
Public reports that the Biden regime have told the Israelis that the United States will not support
00:00:37.120
them if they choose to retaliate against Iran for this attack. Now, you have to wonder if the Biden
00:00:44.260
regime told the Iranians that would be their position even before Iran attacked Israel.
00:00:50.320
Israel deserves full support of the United States. And what in the world is Joe Biden doing?
00:00:58.140
And what would be the U.S. position if those rockets and missiles had been launched against the U.K.
00:01:04.080
or the United States? Biden is playing with fire, geopolitical fire, and it could turn conflict
00:01:13.040
fire quickly. Misguided and reckless, I personally can't imagine how the Israelis could permit
00:01:19.400
such a powerful attack against their country and do nothing. Israel has struck Iran-proxy Hezbollah
00:01:26.700
forces this morning and their weapons and munitions in southern Lebanon, eastern Lebanon,
00:01:32.600
that is hardly a proportionate Israeli response to Iran's first attacks directly on the state of Israel.
00:01:39.820
And coupled with Iran's blunt warning to Israel to not retaliate, the Biden regime has put Israel
00:01:46.660
in a difficult position. If it chooses not to retaliate, it will appear to the Arab street
00:01:52.720
that Israel is bowing to Biden or has been intimidated by Iran. Not smart strategy by the
00:02:01.540
Biden regime. Tomorrow, there's a test vote that gives the Republicans a second chance to do the right
00:02:07.720
thing. To follow the Constitution and block the FISA reauthorization, Representative Anna Paulina Luna
00:02:15.960
forcing a procedural vote before the legislation can be forwarded to the Senate. Speaker Mike Johnson
00:02:23.080
can save his soul and do the right thing. Reverse his vote. His vote passed the legislation. Eighty-six
00:02:30.200
Republicans in all voting for that reauthorization for warrantless surveillance of American citizens and
00:02:38.020
the Congress and the Senate, you name it, by the FBI and the intel agencies. And still, they've
00:02:45.140
voted for it. And by the way, they've spied on President Trump now for nine years. Spied on the
00:02:51.360
intel committee, as I said, in both houses of Congress. And still, the fools voted for it. Let's see what
00:02:57.440
happens this time. You don't often get second chances in the swamp. I'm Lou Dobbs with a Great America
