00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.520 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.240 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.680 Senator, it is shocking to see, but the President of the United States of America
00:00:13.640 is now treating Israel like they are almost an adversary and actually protecting Hamas
00:00:19.620 and where they are now in other parts around Israel where they can plan and orchestrate attacks against them.
00:00:26.680 We have truly gone through the looking glass. Up is down. Black is white. Good is evil.
00:00:32.720 The Biden administration's foreign policy is exactly backwards from what any sane, rational American foreign policy should be.
00:00:41.820 Joe Biden and the Democrats are sending money to Gaza that is going straight to Hamas.
00:00:46.840 They are sending money to Iran that is going straight to Hamas.
00:00:50.620 And in this past week, Joe Biden announced that he's cutting off weapons to Israel,
00:00:55.620 that Israel is now the bad guy and the Biden administration, the Biden White House, is openly the enemy of Israel.
00:01:03.320 It is stunning. It is shocking. There is no precedent for it in history.
00:01:07.840 And it is profoundly dangerous. We're going to get into it in great detail.
00:01:12.440 Yeah, it's so important. So many of you have been asking the question, how can we help the people in Israel?
00:01:17.160 I want you to know about the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
00:01:21.320 and a need that is right now so important.
00:01:25.320 You've seen the anti-Israel protests and demonstrations that have continued at college campuses.
00:01:30.780 You've seen so many people that are just absolutely anti-Israel, not just in Israel, but in this country.
00:01:39.880 And as they are facing these vile anti-Semitic hate speech and harassment and violence,
00:01:44.620 there is a real need in Israel right now.
00:01:47.260 And that is for bomb shelters.
00:01:49.760 Now is the time that you can help protect the people in Israel,
00:01:53.760 the Jewish people who are up against these attacks of people that are trying to literally kill them.
00:01:59.140 I want you to stand with the Jewish people by providing an emergency bomb shelter or an emergency bomb shelter kit.
00:02:07.180 That is what the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is doing.
00:02:11.120 Last Sunday, there were over 100 rockets from Hezbollah that were fired at northern Israel.
00:02:15.880 And IFCJ supported soup kitchens in the cities there that were directly hit by these Hezbollah attacks.
00:02:23.800 The elderly and the most vulnerable that stay behind are the most impacted when the sirens go off.
00:02:30.520 And that is why not only do they need food, but they need a safe place to go.
00:02:35.800 And that is where your donation is a huge gift to the people in need.
00:02:39.760 Thanks to a matching challenge from a generous IFCJ supporter,
00:02:44.280 your gift will be doubled to impact to help provide twice the support.
00:02:48.520 All you have to do is call 1-888-488-IFCJ.
00:02:53.980 That's 1-888-488-IFCJ.
00:02:58.280 Or you can go online to supportifcj.org to give.
00:03:02.920 That's support, ifcj.org to help the people in Israel right now.
00:03:08.920 Senator, this all started with a conversation on CNN.
00:03:14.180 The president was doing an exclusive interview on that friendly network.
00:03:18.060 And this is what he said about what's happening right now in the warning to Israel.
00:03:23.520 I made it clear that if they go into Rafa, they haven't gone into Rafa yet.
00:03:29.820 If they go into Rafa, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafa,
00:03:35.600 to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem.
00:03:38.460 We're going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome
00:03:43.460 and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently.
00:03:50.040 But it's just wrong.
00:03:53.300 We're not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells used that have been used.
00:03:58.120 Artillery shells as well.
00:03:59.560 Yeah, artillery shells.
00:04:01.020 He calls Israel to fing themselves.
00:04:03.440 It's just wrong.
00:04:04.660 And to be clear, Senator, for everyone that may not understand this,
00:04:09.520 the terrorists have moved into Rafa.
00:04:12.280 They've moved out of much of Gaza.
00:04:14.800 This is now where they're regrouping.
00:04:16.460 And what the president just said was, you cannot go after them.
00:04:20.840 Well, and understand also, this is the culmination of Joe Biden and the Democrats
00:04:25.060 lying to the American people week after week after week.
00:04:28.640 Just a few weeks ago, Congress passed the foreign aid bill that Biden was pressing ferociously for.
00:04:35.240 And the linchpin of that foreign aid bill was Israel aid.
00:04:38.920 And the reason that Congress was told you got to vote for it is Israel military aid.
00:04:43.820 And it was a big bipartisan vote.
00:04:45.440 I voted no because, number one, I said that this is going to provide nine billion dollars,
00:04:52.360 up to nine billion dollars, that can go to Gaza, that can go to Hamas.
00:04:56.340 And I'm not interested in giving money to Hamas.
00:04:59.460 Well, it turned out that the first aid shipment that went to Gaza, guess what?
00:05:04.080 Hamas seized it.
00:05:05.500 So literally, the opening shipment, exactly what I said would happen, is what did happen.
00:05:10.900 But the bait and switch that the Biden White House convinced a bunch of Republicans and
00:05:16.760 even maybe some Democrats to vote for this because it was military aid to Israel, because
00:05:21.780 it was artillery shells to Israel that they needed.
00:05:24.480 And as soon as Congress passes it, Biden comes along and says, nope, I'm not going to send
00:05:29.720 it.
00:05:29.820 I'm not sending it to Israel.
00:05:31.940 It is astonishing.
00:05:34.220 And I'll tell you, Ben, last week, I joined a number of other senators.
00:05:37.740 We had a press conference on Capitol Hill.
00:05:40.080 This, well, you were fired up, by the way, as you should be.
00:05:44.420 You were angry.
00:05:45.260 You were irritated.
00:05:46.600 And it's got to feel like you're one of the lone voices right now that's standing with
00:05:50.520 Israel.
00:05:50.900 Well, I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so.
00:05:54.620 This is exactly what I said Biden would do.
00:05:57.400 Have a listen to what I had said at the press conference.
00:06:00.420 The security policy of Joe Biden and the Democrats is precisely backwards.
00:06:05.860 For three and a half years, Joe Biden and the Democrats have undermined and weakened our
00:06:10.740 friends and allies, and they have sent billions of dollars to our enemies.
00:06:15.580 It is exactly opposite what you would be doing if you were actually focused on U.S. national
00:06:22.920 security interests.
00:06:25.440 Let's look at our enemies.
00:06:28.220 Tragically, Joe Biden has been the greatest friend the Ayatollah Khamenei has ever had on
00:06:34.900 planet Earth.
00:06:37.480 Tragically, Joe Biden has been the greatest friend to Hamas and Hezbollah that there is
00:06:44.660 on planet Earth.
00:06:45.380 Now, those sound like extraordinary statements.
00:06:48.920 What are the facts?
00:06:51.660 Under the Biden presidency, this administration has flowed more than $100 billion into Iran.
00:07:01.220 $6 billion in ransom for five Americans, a policy which many of us said at the time would
00:07:08.000 only lead to more Americans being taken hostage.
00:07:11.020 And we saw tragically on October 7th that proved exactly right.
00:07:14.240 $10 billion in funds in Iraq that the Biden administration wanted to flow to the Ayatollah and then over
00:07:21.940 $80 billion in oil.
00:07:25.680 When Joe Biden came into office, the Trump administration, with the active support of all of us, had vigorously imposed oil sanctions and had cut Iran's oil exports from one million barrels a day down to about 300,000.
00:07:41.820 The Iranian economy was in shambles.
00:07:42.820 The Iranian economy was in shambles.
00:07:43.960 The Ayatollah was on his knees.
00:07:46.000 Joe Biden came in like the cavalry coming to the rescue and immediately stopped enforcing oil sanctions.
00:07:55.480 And what happened?
00:07:56.480 Iran's oil sales went from 300,000 barrels a day to now more than 2 million barrels a day.
00:08:05.180 Every one of those barrels is a gift from Joe Biden and the Democrats that is over $80 billion.
00:08:12.880 Mind you, this is from the same administration that does everything they can to kill oil and gas production in America while allowing a theocratic Ayatollah.
00:08:25.580 Understand, the Ayatollah chants with mobs chants, death to America and death to Israel.
00:08:32.480 And Joe Biden has said, here's $100 billion, this seems like a great idea.
00:08:38.200 And what happened with that $100 billion, well, 90% of Hamas's funding comes from Iran.
00:08:45.780 90% of Hezbollah's funding comes from Iran.
00:08:50.220 October 7th was in a very real way funded by money given by Joe Biden and the Democrats to Iran and Hamas and Hezbollah.
00:08:59.500 And by the way, Biden also sent hundreds of millions of dollars into Gaza, even though many of us said, if you send it to Gaza, it will go to Hamas and be used for terrorism.
00:09:08.860 They knew that.
00:09:09.920 They agreed with that.
00:09:10.920 The Biden administration concluded it was, quote, highly likely the money would go to Hamas for terrorism.
00:09:16.720 You know what they did?
00:09:17.340 They waived the anti-terrorism laws and said, send it anyway.
00:09:23.060 Where are we now?
00:09:25.160 Where we are now is the Biden administration is sending money right now to Gaza.
00:09:32.700 Many of us said, if you send the money to Gaza, it will be seized by Hamas.
00:09:36.320 What happened?
00:09:36.840 The first shipment came in and boom, immediately seized by Hamas, exactly like we said.
00:09:41.780 But they're combining it with blocking weapons to Israel.
00:09:48.740 The Biden White House has been the most anti-Israel administration this nation has ever seen.
00:09:55.780 Literally from day one, the Biden White House has been undermining Israel at every step of the way.
00:10:01.280 When October 7th happened, when Hamas death squads were murdering 1,200 innocent civilians, were raping women and little girls,
00:10:12.100 while the attacks were happening, the Biden State Department sent out a tweet at 3 in the morning
00:10:16.680 saying, Israel must not retaliate.
00:10:20.300 There should be no military response.
00:10:23.320 That tweet was disgraceful.
00:10:24.940 Well, I called it out at 3 in the morning, and they deleted the tweet within minutes.
00:10:29.400 The next day, Tony Blinken, the Secretary of State, sent another tweet.
00:10:33.400 Said, I just talked with a Turkish foreign minister.
00:10:35.800 We agreed.
00:10:36.740 Israel must not retaliate, must not strike back.
00:10:40.960 I called that tweet out again.
00:10:42.760 They deleted it again.
00:10:44.900 Where are we today?
00:10:46.960 Well, yesterday, Joe Biden said, quote,
00:10:49.220 I made it clear, if Israel goes into Rafa, I'm not supplying the weapons.
00:10:54.820 We're not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells.
00:10:58.080 I will point out, Joe Biden and the Democrats lied to the American people on the supplemental funding bill
00:11:03.620 that was just voted.
00:11:05.860 They claimed it was to provide military funding to Israel.
00:11:08.960 We now know they were lying.
00:11:10.820 It was instead to give money to Gaza and Hamas and everywhere else except Israel.
00:11:20.480 We should have sent this military aid six months ago.
00:11:24.240 Six months ago, many of us went to the Senate floor to force a vote on emergency military aid in November,
00:11:30.660 right after October 7th.
00:11:32.320 Every single Democrat voted no.
00:11:34.540 It was a straight party line vote.
00:11:37.100 A final observation.
00:11:38.580 What Joe Biden is doing is not new.
00:11:43.820 He has spent decades attacking and undermining Israel.
00:11:50.300 Yes, it is true, the radical left wing of the Democrat Party,
00:11:53.700 the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party is on the rise, is on campuses,
00:11:57.900 and the Democrats are terrified of them.
00:11:59.440 All of that is true.
00:12:01.020 Yes, it is true, they're terrified they're going to lose Michigan
00:12:04.300 unless they give in to the pro-Hamas wing of the Democrat Party.
00:12:09.720 But understand, these sentiments are not new for Joe Biden.
00:12:13.220 In 1982, when, by the way, I was 11 years old,
00:12:18.320 in 1982, Joe Biden was a senator from Delaware,
00:12:23.320 and he confronted Israel's Prime Minister Menachem Begin
00:12:26.920 during his Senate Foreign Relations Committee testimony.
00:12:31.540 And you know what Joe Biden was doing in 1982?
00:12:34.840 Same damn thing he's doing in 2024.
00:12:36.840 He threatened to cut off aid to Israel in 1982.
00:12:42.360 And Prime Minister Begin responded as follows,
00:12:46.220 quote,
00:12:46.500 Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens.
00:13:08.680 Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country.
00:13:13.340 We paid for it.
00:13:14.880 We fought for it.
00:13:17.120 We died for it.
00:13:19.220 We will stand by our principles.
00:13:22.400 We will defend them.
00:13:24.620 And when necessary,
00:13:26.400 we will die for them again,
00:13:29.340 with or without your aid.
00:13:33.520 Senator, you obviously had a lot to say,
00:13:37.220 and it was important that it was said.
00:13:39.740 And one of the questions I have to ask you is,
00:13:42.600 it's pretty clear that Joe Biden has changed.
00:13:45.980 He's now not just undermining Israel.
00:13:47.760 He's literally telling the terrorists,
00:13:49.560 this is how you beat them.
00:13:50.760 You go to populated areas,
00:13:52.400 and I won't give them what they need to come get you.
00:13:55.060 And I will attack them in the process by saying,
00:13:58.160 you better stay within your area, Israel,
00:14:01.020 or you're going to lose America.
00:14:02.760 Even though 24 hours before,
00:14:04.900 he said that there was an ironclad relationship.
00:14:07.380 Well, if you ask Israel,
00:14:08.580 I doubt they would say that it's ironclad
00:14:11.180 if this is how you're treating
00:14:12.240 our most important ally in the Middle East.
00:14:15.060 Well, I actually don't think Joe Biden has changed much.
00:14:18.340 As I mentioned there,
00:14:20.200 he was doing this in 1982.
00:14:22.480 When I was 11,
00:14:23.920 and were you even born in 82, Ben?
00:14:25.560 81.
00:14:26.280 I was one years old.
00:14:27.160 So you were a bouncing bundle of joy
00:14:30.220 while Joe Biden was trying to cut off aid to Israel
00:14:33.540 even back then.
00:14:35.100 And look, I'm reminded of what Bob Gates,
00:14:38.140 who was the Secretary of Defense under Obama,
00:14:40.480 said.
00:14:40.680 He said,
00:14:40.980 Joe Biden has been wrong
00:14:42.960 on every foreign policy issue for 40 years.
00:14:47.060 That's just the reality.
00:14:48.520 Biden consistently,
00:14:50.220 give us an enemy,
00:14:51.800 and Joe Biden wants to show weakness to that enemy,
00:14:54.860 appease that enemy,
00:14:55.880 and send them billions of dollars.
00:14:58.280 I do not understand
00:14:59.380 what goes through the mind
00:15:01.220 of a leftist who,
00:15:03.360 to use the classic phrase from the Simpsons,
00:15:05.680 is a cheese-eating surrender monkey.
00:15:07.960 Like, whenever someone is our enemy,
00:15:10.300 the Ayatollah, give them billions.
00:15:12.420 Russia, give them billions.
00:15:13.940 China, give them billions.
00:15:15.300 North Korea, give them billions.
00:15:16.660 Venezuela, give them billions.
00:15:18.500 If you are an enemy,
00:15:19.780 Cuba, give them billions.
00:15:21.100 If you're an enemy of America,
00:15:23.320 count on Joe Biden and the Democrats
00:15:24.860 to be Santa Claus
00:15:26.100 and come with cash.
00:15:28.000 If you're a friend,
00:15:29.840 count on them to do
00:15:30.460 what they're doing to Israel,
00:15:32.120 which is blackmail you and starve you.
00:15:34.960 So, in other words,
00:15:35.460 what you're saying is
00:15:36.220 Joe Biden basically
00:15:37.660 is a guy that's been anti-Israel
00:15:39.720 when it really matters,
00:15:40.680 and when he politically needed to act
00:15:43.600 like he was pro-Israel,
00:15:44.940 I'll give a perfect example of this,
00:15:47.260 PBS NewsHour,
00:15:48.460 back in 2019,
00:15:49.900 he said that his own policy now
00:15:54.020 was basically crazy
00:15:56.620 and was a deadly policy.
00:16:00.500 Listen to what he said in 19.
00:16:03.140 News this week,
00:16:04.520 to the extent that some of the Democrats
00:16:06.640 are saying that if,
00:16:08.960 because of Israel's settlement policy,
00:16:11.820 that they would look at
00:16:13.140 cutting off military aid
00:16:14.880 to Israel as a result of that.
00:16:16.980 That'd be a tragic mistake.
00:16:18.780 I strongly oppose Israel's
00:16:21.040 settlement policy on the West Bank.
00:16:24.200 I've made that clear to
00:16:25.740 Bibi when I was vice president.
00:16:28.680 I made it crystal clear
00:16:29.840 to the Israelis.
00:16:30.800 But the idea
00:16:32.340 that we would cut off
00:16:34.620 military aid
00:16:36.400 to an ally,
00:16:39.140 our only true, true ally
00:16:41.620 in the entire region,
00:16:43.720 is absolutely preposterous.
00:16:45.660 It's just beyond my comprehension
00:16:47.660 anyone would do that.
00:16:50.320 Well, that's what he just did.
00:16:52.120 Yeah.
00:16:52.480 That's what he just did.
00:16:53.340 I mean, he just said what he said
00:16:53.720 was preposterous.
00:16:55.120 Preposterous,
00:16:55.600 beyond my comprehension.
00:16:57.640 And let me tell you
00:16:58.860 something else he did,
00:16:59.720 and this has gotten
00:17:00.420 almost no coverage.
00:17:02.560 But do you know what he did
00:17:03.520 the day before
00:17:04.880 he announced that he was
00:17:06.320 going to cut off aid to Israel?
00:17:08.700 What was that?
00:17:09.560 He issued a sanctions waiver
00:17:13.260 to allow arms sales
00:17:16.260 to Qatar,
00:17:18.980 Lebanon,
00:17:19.560 and Iraq.
00:17:20.200 Hamas ally,
00:17:21.940 Qatar.
00:17:22.340 Qatar is where
00:17:23.180 the Hamas leadership
00:17:25.560 is headquartered.
00:17:27.080 And there are right now
00:17:28.660 sanctions on weapon sales
00:17:30.480 to countries that boycott Israel.
00:17:32.780 And the Biden administration
00:17:35.420 very quietly
00:17:36.460 waived those sanctions
00:17:39.160 in order for the administration
00:17:41.340 to sell allies
00:17:42.660 to Qatar,
00:17:43.640 Lebanon,
00:17:44.000 and Iraq
00:17:44.460 the day before
00:17:46.400 they cut off
00:17:47.080 arms transfers
00:17:49.040 to Israel.
00:17:50.500 Now,
00:17:50.820 that has gotten
00:17:51.520 virtually no coverage.
00:17:54.820 But...
00:17:55.300 So what does that mean
00:17:56.300 in practicality
00:17:57.240 for people
00:17:57.720 that don't understand
00:17:58.500 how big of a deal
00:17:59.240 that actually is?
00:18:00.820 Well,
00:18:01.280 it is U.S. law
00:18:02.440 that if a country
00:18:03.880 boycotts Israel,
00:18:05.020 we cannot sell
00:18:05.960 weapons to them.
00:18:08.240 Many sanction laws
00:18:09.740 are written
00:18:10.460 with a presidential waiver
00:18:11.640 written into them.
00:18:13.060 Well,
00:18:13.600 what Biden just did
00:18:14.660 is waived
00:18:15.400 that sanction law.
00:18:16.600 By the way,
00:18:17.080 I mentioned before
00:18:17.940 in that press conference,
00:18:19.120 we have in place
00:18:20.380 anti-terrorism laws
00:18:21.480 that say you can't
00:18:22.780 send money
00:18:23.520 if it is likely
00:18:24.740 that money will be used
00:18:25.700 for terrorism.
00:18:26.860 The beginning
00:18:27.460 of the Biden administration,
00:18:28.820 there was a dispute
00:18:29.580 over whether or not
00:18:30.640 to send hundreds
00:18:31.340 of millions of dollars
00:18:32.040 to Gaza.
00:18:33.340 I joined with a total
00:18:34.740 of 19 senators
00:18:35.700 urging the administration
00:18:36.780 don't do it.
00:18:37.860 And I said early on,
00:18:39.340 if you send hundreds
00:18:40.440 of millions of dollars
00:18:41.120 to Gaza,
00:18:42.360 it will go to Hamas.
00:18:43.520 Why do I know that?
00:18:44.280 Well,
00:18:44.400 for one thing,
00:18:44.880 Hamas is the government
00:18:45.660 of Gaza.
00:18:46.120 They are the elected
00:18:47.080 leadership of Gaza.
00:18:48.440 They control Gaza.
00:18:49.640 There is a decades-long
00:18:52.440 history of aid
00:18:53.860 going into Gaza
00:18:54.740 being directly diverted
00:18:55.800 by Hamas
00:18:56.400 and used for terrorism.
00:18:57.740 Look,
00:18:58.000 the international world
00:18:59.360 would send in things
00:19:00.440 like money
00:19:01.420 to rebuild schools
00:19:02.420 and they'd take
00:19:02.940 the concrete
00:19:03.440 and they'd build
00:19:03.900 underground tunnels
00:19:05.200 from which
00:19:07.380 to conduct terror.
00:19:08.820 They'd send in
00:19:09.720 water pipes
00:19:10.480 so you could put in
00:19:11.380 fresh water
00:19:12.080 and sewage
00:19:12.780 and Hamas
00:19:14.320 would seize
00:19:15.000 the water pipes,
00:19:16.020 cut it into portions
00:19:17.880 and turn it into missiles,
00:19:18.960 use the water pipes,
00:19:19.900 seal it on both ends,
00:19:20.860 cut it off
00:19:21.280 and turn it into rockets
00:19:22.580 to fire into Israel.
00:19:24.120 Hamas's obsession
00:19:25.080 is with murdering
00:19:26.140 as many Jews
00:19:26.780 as possible
00:19:27.380 and so
00:19:28.560 I urged
00:19:30.400 the Biden administration
00:19:31.600 don't send money
00:19:32.460 to Gaza.
00:19:33.000 Trump had cut it off.
00:19:34.000 I'd urged Trump
00:19:34.600 to cut it off
00:19:35.200 and he did.
00:19:36.520 When Biden came in
00:19:37.800 it was clear they wanted to
00:19:38.940 and so I urged him not to.
00:19:41.420 There were a group
00:19:42.340 of about 150 House Democrats
00:19:44.200 on the other side
00:19:45.520 that urged Biden
00:19:47.160 to send money
00:19:48.660 to Gaza.
00:19:49.940 This is early on,
00:19:50.760 long before October 7th.
00:19:52.800 Even though it was clear
00:19:54.040 that money would be used
00:19:54.880 by Hamas for terrorism
00:19:55.940 and we now know
00:19:57.080 how the Biden administration
00:19:58.960 resolved that question
00:20:00.040 which is they determined
00:20:00.940 internally
00:20:01.480 that it was
00:20:02.740 quote highly likely
00:20:04.020 that any money
00:20:06.460 they sent
00:20:06.960 would be used
00:20:07.520 by Hamas
00:20:08.080 and diverted
00:20:08.440 for terrorism.
00:20:09.260 Now normally
00:20:10.200 that'd be the end
00:20:10.780 of the inquiry.
00:20:11.380 If it's highly likely
00:20:12.060 it's going to go to terrorism,
00:20:13.160 U.S. anti-terrorism law
00:20:14.260 says you can't send it,
00:20:16.620 game over.
00:20:17.800 Well as I mentioned
00:20:18.800 most sanctions laws
00:20:20.320 are written
00:20:20.760 with a presidential waiver
00:20:21.840 so what did they do?
00:20:22.920 They waived
00:20:23.380 the anti-terrorism laws
00:20:24.440 and said well
00:20:24.860 we don't care
00:20:25.340 if it's used for terrorism
00:20:26.200 this is our political agenda
00:20:27.600 and so we're going to
00:20:29.600 send the money anyway
00:20:31.260 and that is exactly
00:20:33.580 so it was Tuesday
00:20:35.040 of last week
00:20:35.720 which is the day
00:20:36.360 before Joe Biden
00:20:37.540 threatened to withhold
00:20:38.440 weapons from Israel
00:20:39.620 that the State Department
00:20:41.300 informed Congress
00:20:42.340 that it intends
00:20:43.640 to bypass laws
00:20:44.980 that bar the United States
00:20:46.300 from selling weapons
00:20:47.140 to nations
00:20:47.640 that boycott Israel.
00:20:48.660 and
00:20:51.020 just look at the contrast
00:20:54.480 why
00:20:55.560 do they want
00:20:56.920 to send money
00:20:57.700 and weapons
00:20:59.560 to nations
00:21:00.800 that support Hamas
00:21:01.900 and they want
00:21:03.620 to cut off
00:21:04.400 weapons
00:21:05.780 to Israel
00:21:07.500 that is fighting Hamas
00:21:08.800 give me a conclusion
00:21:10.180 other than
00:21:11.160 the obvious conclusion
00:21:13.140 that this administration
00:21:14.400 and the Democrats
00:21:15.140 like
00:21:15.760 there's a phrase
00:21:16.940 I used in the press conference
00:21:18.080 the pro-Hamas wing
00:21:19.280 of the Democrat Party
00:21:20.240 Ben
00:21:21.540 pause for a second
00:21:22.600 and say
00:21:23.040 what upside down
00:21:25.640 crazy ass world
00:21:26.720 are we living in
00:21:27.520 that there's a pro-Hamas
00:21:28.720 wing
00:21:29.280 of the Democrat Party
00:21:31.020 but
00:21:31.260 by the way
00:21:32.700 is substantial
00:21:33.560 and growing
00:21:34.540 yeah
00:21:35.200 and I don't want
00:21:35.940 to engage in hyperbole
00:21:36.980 I don't want to
00:21:37.540 like
00:21:37.980 normally
00:21:39.300 no
00:21:40.380 respectable
00:21:41.840 normal
00:21:42.440 political party
00:21:43.260 in the United States
00:21:44.280 would support
00:21:45.320 terrorists
00:21:45.840 who commit
00:21:46.280 mass murder
00:21:46.940 and rape
00:21:47.480 and seek
00:21:48.480 the genocide
00:21:49.600 of the Jewish people
00:21:51.460 you would think
00:21:51.960 that that would be
00:21:52.720 understandably
00:21:53.720 outside of the
00:21:57.040 ordinary bounds
00:21:59.000 of political discourse
00:22:00.080 and yet
00:22:00.620 there is a very
00:22:01.800 real and growing
00:22:03.020 pro-Hamas
00:22:03.740 wing of the Democrat Party
00:22:04.960 and the sad thing is
00:22:06.040 Joe Biden's policies
00:22:08.080 name a person
00:22:09.640 on planet Earth
00:22:10.520 whose policies
00:22:12.140 have benefited
00:22:12.840 Hamas more
00:22:13.860 than Joe Biden
00:22:15.420 let's be clear
00:22:16.200 it's not Biden alone
00:22:17.920 it's easy to say
00:22:19.180 oh Biden's the problem
00:22:20.260 no no no no
00:22:21.100 name a Democrat
00:22:23.240 other than
00:22:23.860 John Fetterman
00:22:24.520 who has shown
00:22:26.700 even a tiny
00:22:27.840 modicum of courage
00:22:29.140 to call out
00:22:30.140 the administration
00:22:30.780 and say
00:22:31.460 this is wrong
00:22:32.260 stop sending money
00:22:33.960 to Iran
00:22:34.500 stop sending money
00:22:35.440 to Hamas
00:22:36.080 stop boycotting
00:22:38.320 Israel
00:22:39.340 the entire
00:22:40.460 Democratic caucus
00:22:41.640 in the Senate
00:22:42.240 is terrified
00:22:43.860 to cross
00:22:45.560 the Biden White House
00:22:47.640 and the pro-Hamas
00:22:49.700 contingent of the party
00:22:50.860 yeah
00:22:51.640 and Fetterman
00:22:52.680 as you mentioned
00:22:53.320 deserves a lot of credit
00:22:54.520 for standing up to his party
00:22:55.620 because he's obviously
00:22:56.500 out there by himself
00:22:57.460 yes
00:22:58.440 undoubtedly
00:22:59.900 I don't know
00:23:01.260 where that has come from
00:23:02.320 it is not something
00:23:03.260 I predicted
00:23:03.820 when he was elected
00:23:04.640 but I will give him credit
00:23:07.080 but the fact
00:23:08.460 that he's standing up
00:23:09.460 one of the things
00:23:10.860 that's striking
00:23:11.420 is just how alone
00:23:12.720 he is
00:23:13.460 yep
00:23:14.020 that
00:23:14.220 where is anybody else
00:23:17.420 and by the way
00:23:19.160 I do have to read
00:23:20.620 a tweet
00:23:21.920 because it's a tweet
00:23:24.820 that is really
00:23:25.320 quite remarkable
00:23:25.980 so this is a tweet
00:23:27.500 that Joe Biden
00:23:29.320 sent
00:23:30.060 on October 18th
00:23:32.300 2019
00:23:32.780 I want to read
00:23:34.960 the tweet
00:23:35.280 here's the tweet
00:23:35.880 quote
00:23:36.240 President Trump
00:23:37.760 withheld
00:23:39.060 congressionally
00:23:39.760 appropriated aid
00:23:40.780 to Ukraine
00:23:41.440 unless they
00:23:42.980 granted him
00:23:43.580 a political favor
00:23:44.460 it's the definition
00:23:46.300 of quid pro quo
00:23:47.360 this is no joke
00:23:49.480 Trump continues
00:23:51.000 to put his own
00:23:51.780 personal
00:23:52.260 political interest
00:23:53.320 ahead of the
00:23:54.300 national interest
00:23:55.140 he must
00:23:56.400 be impeached
00:23:57.700 now that is
00:23:59.300 precisely
00:24:00.020 what Joe Biden
00:24:01.740 has just done
00:24:02.460 in fact
00:24:02.840 I want to
00:24:03.400 reread
00:24:04.000 that tweet
00:24:05.020 and all I'm
00:24:05.540 going to do
00:24:06.000 is I'm going
00:24:06.520 to replace
00:24:07.300 the word
00:24:07.880 Trump
00:24:08.240 with the word
00:24:08.740 Biden
00:24:09.100 and I'm going
00:24:10.100 to replace
00:24:10.560 the word
00:24:10.960 Ukraine
00:24:11.340 with the word
00:24:11.880 Israel
00:24:12.180 other than that
00:24:12.960 every word
00:24:14.160 of this
00:24:14.480 is exactly
00:24:15.080 what Joe
00:24:15.500 Biden
00:24:15.780 tweeted
00:24:16.080 in 2019
00:24:16.680 listen
00:24:17.280 President
00:24:18.640 Biden
00:24:19.140 withheld
00:24:19.740 congressionally
00:24:20.440 appropriated aid
00:24:21.400 to Israel
00:24:22.320 unless they
00:24:23.720 granted him
00:24:24.280 a political
00:24:24.740 favor
00:24:25.160 it's the
00:24:26.400 definition
00:24:26.940 of quid pro quo
00:24:27.920 this is no
00:24:29.480 joke
00:24:29.920 Biden continues
00:24:31.580 to put his
00:24:32.200 own personal
00:24:33.020 political interests
00:24:34.180 ahead of the
00:24:35.380 national interest
00:24:36.260 he must be
00:24:38.180 impeached
00:24:38.980 wow
00:24:40.220 I want to tell you
00:24:41.340 real quick about
00:24:41.980 our friends over
00:24:42.620 at Patriot Mobile
00:24:43.860 if you are a
00:24:45.860 conservative
00:24:46.440 and you have a
00:24:47.320 cell phone
00:24:47.880 in this election
00:24:49.020 year you need
00:24:50.160 to see and pay
00:24:51.360 attention to where
00:24:52.100 your money is going
00:24:52.820 when you pay that
00:24:53.440 bill
00:24:53.700 you may not
00:24:55.100 know that
00:24:55.840 Big Mobile
00:24:56.400 supports Democrats
00:24:57.740 with massive
00:24:59.300 donations
00:24:59.940 I'm talking about
00:25:01.140 the local
00:25:01.700 state and
00:25:02.320 national level
00:25:02.960 you may not
00:25:03.800 realize that
00:25:04.460 your cell phone
00:25:05.040 provider right now
00:25:05.880 may be giving
00:25:06.820 huge donations
00:25:07.960 to Planned
00:25:09.120 Parenthood
00:25:09.760 10 years ago
00:25:11.300 Patriot Mobile
00:25:12.260 was started
00:25:12.920 as America's
00:25:13.840 only Christian
00:25:14.440 conservative
00:25:14.980 wireless provider
00:25:15.960 and they've been
00:25:16.920 fighting the fight
00:25:17.720 ever since
00:25:18.380 but now more
00:25:19.520 than ever
00:25:19.980 you need to
00:25:21.000 make the switch
00:25:21.740 I am on
00:25:22.720 Patriot Mobile
00:25:23.340 and I use
00:25:23.900 it and it's
00:25:24.420 amazing
00:25:25.000 now here's
00:25:25.700 the part
00:25:26.180 that you
00:25:26.680 need to
00:25:27.000 know about
00:25:27.460 not only
00:25:28.660 do you get
00:25:29.180 the same
00:25:29.580 service you
00:25:30.120 have right
00:25:30.440 now
00:25:30.720 why
00:25:31.500 because you're
00:25:32.020 using the
00:25:32.340 same exact
00:25:32.960 towers
00:25:33.540 that you're
00:25:34.280 using right
00:25:34.740 now when you
00:25:35.200 switch to
00:25:35.600 Patriot Mobile
00:25:36.260 but you stop
00:25:37.760 funding the
00:25:38.700 radical left
00:25:39.440 and every bill
00:25:40.740 that you pay
00:25:41.280 to Patriot Mobile
00:25:41.980 they take about
00:25:42.640 5% of that
00:25:43.600 bill
00:25:43.860 no extra
00:25:45.180 cost to you
00:25:46.360 and they give
00:25:47.500 it back to
00:25:48.580 conservative
00:25:49.020 causes and
00:25:50.340 organizations that
00:25:51.400 support free
00:25:52.060 speech
00:25:52.560 religious freedom
00:25:53.560 the sanctity of
00:25:54.620 life
00:25:54.940 the second
00:25:55.480 amendment
00:25:55.820 as well as
00:25:56.880 supporting our
00:25:57.440 military
00:25:58.080 our veterans
00:25:59.280 our first
00:26:00.220 responders
00:26:00.800 and our
00:26:01.380 wounded warrior
00:26:02.520 heroes
00:26:03.240 now switching
00:26:04.380 is also easier
00:26:05.440 now because of
00:26:06.080 technology than
00:26:07.000 it's ever been
00:26:07.520 before
00:26:07.880 you don't even
00:26:08.540 have to go into
00:26:09.120 a store
00:26:09.540 you can do it
00:26:10.740 over the phone
00:26:11.780 and you can keep
00:26:12.740 your same cell phone
00:26:13.760 number you have
00:26:14.440 right now
00:26:15.220 or you can get a
00:26:16.760 new number if you
00:26:17.300 want it
00:26:17.620 and you can keep
00:26:18.120 the same phone you
00:26:18.940 have right now
00:26:19.520 or you can upgrade
00:26:20.660 to a new phone
00:26:22.320 it is actually that
00:26:24.040 easy in 2024
00:26:25.180 so make the switch
00:26:27.020 and stop giving
00:26:28.040 your money to
00:26:28.580 woke companies
00:26:29.040 they're supporting
00:26:29.740 everything you're
00:26:30.680 against
00:26:31.060 972 Patriot
00:26:33.040 is the number
00:26:33.640 972 Patriot
00:26:36.660 that's 972
00:26:38.780 Patriot
00:26:39.940 or online
00:26:40.980 at PatriotMobile.com
00:26:42.440 slash verdict
00:26:43.440 that's PatriotMobile.com
00:26:46.300 slash verdict
00:26:47.580 Senator I also
00:26:48.840 want to ask you
00:26:49.920 about a second
00:26:51.960 part of what
00:26:53.320 we've learned
00:26:53.960 and this actually
00:26:54.900 came out in the
00:26:55.860 Washington Post
00:26:56.860 the US
00:26:58.160 apparently offers
00:27:00.040 Israeli
00:27:00.980 Israel intelligence
00:27:02.260 and supplies
00:27:04.160 an effort
00:27:05.080 to avoid
00:27:06.220 the Rafa
00:27:07.080 invasion
00:27:07.920 now this is
00:27:09.880 I think maybe
00:27:11.380 a quid pro quo
00:27:12.860 is that how you
00:27:13.700 would describe it
00:27:14.560 well I would say
00:27:16.100 it's even worse
00:27:16.640 than that
00:27:17.020 so this is
00:27:17.940 an article
00:27:18.700 that came out
00:27:19.400 in the Washington
00:27:19.920 Post
00:27:20.260 so it was
00:27:20.600 published
00:27:21.120 a lot of
00:27:21.780 places
00:27:22.080 and it was
00:27:22.640 on May 11th
00:27:23.640 the title
00:27:24.740 of the article
00:27:25.300 is what you
00:27:25.760 just said
00:27:26.200 US sites
00:27:26.800 intelligence
00:27:27.360 offers Israel
00:27:28.320 supplies
00:27:28.860 to limit
00:27:29.300 Rafa operation
00:27:30.220 let me read
00:27:31.240 you the first
00:27:31.580 couple of
00:27:31.920 paragraphs
00:27:32.200 because it
00:27:32.780 really is
00:27:33.480 stunning news
00:27:34.700 when you
00:27:35.000 understand
00:27:35.500 quote
00:27:36.500 the Biden
00:27:37.820 administration
00:27:38.440 working urgently
00:27:39.820 to stave off
00:27:40.460 a full scale
00:27:41.260 Israeli invasion
00:27:42.080 of Rafa
00:27:42.540 is offering
00:27:43.880 Israel
00:27:44.380 valuable
00:27:44.840 assistance
00:27:45.340 in an effort
00:27:45.900 to persuade
00:27:46.420 it to hold
00:27:46.860 back
00:27:47.240 including
00:27:48.360 sensitive
00:27:48.920 intelligence
00:27:49.460 to help
00:27:49.960 the Israeli
00:27:50.480 military
00:27:51.020 pinpoint the
00:27:51.800 location
00:27:52.320 of Hamas
00:27:53.420 leaders
00:27:53.800 and find
00:27:55.140 the group's
00:27:55.800 hidden tunnels
00:27:56.700 according to
00:27:58.740 four people
00:27:59.540 familiar with
00:28:00.480 the US
00:28:00.920 offers
00:28:01.420 now I want
00:28:04.100 you to pause
00:28:04.820 and understand
00:28:05.340 what that
00:28:05.880 means
00:28:06.300 it means
00:28:07.740 the Biden
00:28:08.200 administration
00:28:08.940 is saying
00:28:09.680 that right
00:28:10.100 now
00:28:10.400 they know
00:28:12.320 where senior
00:28:13.740 Hamas leaders
00:28:14.480 are
00:28:14.840 and right
00:28:16.320 now
00:28:16.640 they are not
00:28:18.260 telling Israel
00:28:19.280 where the senior
00:28:20.660 Hamas leaders
00:28:21.300 are
00:28:21.640 that also
00:28:23.500 means
00:28:24.020 that Biden
00:28:25.000 is saying
00:28:25.560 right now
00:28:26.240 the administration
00:28:26.880 knows where
00:28:27.760 Hamas's hidden
00:28:28.520 tunnels are
00:28:29.120 and right now
00:28:31.100 they are not
00:28:31.940 telling Israel
00:28:33.120 where the hidden
00:28:34.240 tunnels are
00:28:34.920 now I mentioned
00:28:36.120 before that
00:28:36.880 there is a
00:28:37.440 pro-Hamas
00:28:38.080 wing of the
00:28:38.780 administration
00:28:39.360 what in the
00:28:40.480 hell
00:28:40.680 Hamas
00:28:41.200 murdered
00:28:42.380 1200
00:28:42.920 Israelis
00:28:43.520 it is
00:28:45.180 US policy
00:28:46.340 that Hamas
00:28:46.900 are terrorists
00:28:47.440 by the way
00:28:48.040 they murdered
00:28:48.780 over 30
00:28:49.420 Americans
00:28:49.940 and what
00:28:50.460 this White
00:28:51.140 House
00:28:51.460 knows where
00:28:52.540 the senior
00:28:52.940 leaders are
00:28:53.600 and is like
00:28:53.980 nope
00:28:54.220 nope
00:28:54.500 we're not
00:28:54.780 going to
00:28:54.960 tell you
00:28:55.240 we're not
00:28:55.520 going to
00:28:55.720 tell you
00:28:56.140 like how
00:28:57.300 the hell
00:28:58.180 is that
00:28:59.720 possible
00:29:00.260 and now
00:29:00.660 they're saying
00:29:01.060 well
00:29:01.380 if you don't
00:29:03.240 invade
00:29:03.580 Rafa
00:29:03.920 and go
00:29:04.240 after
00:29:04.520 Hamas
00:29:05.100 we'll
00:29:06.160 tell you
00:29:06.520 where the
00:29:06.840 leadership
00:29:07.180 is
00:29:07.680 that is
00:29:08.380 truly
00:29:08.740 stunning
00:29:09.440 Canadian

00:29:39.500 isn't that
00:29:42.160 the same
00:29:42.840 thing that
00:29:43.520 they were
00:29:43.940 implying
00:29:44.960 by the
00:29:45.420 way that
00:29:45.880 Donald
00:29:48.320 Trump
00:29:48.700 they accused
00:29:49.260 him and
00:29:49.460 impeached
00:29:49.860 him like
00:29:50.220 the quid
00:29:50.620 pro quo
00:29:51.100 with
00:29:51.400 Ukraine
00:29:52.220 remember
00:29:52.620 I'll go
00:29:52.960 after the
00:29:53.400 Bidens
00:29:53.740 even though
00:29:54.020 that's not
00:29:54.360 actually what
00:29:54.780 it was
00:29:55.160 it was
00:29:55.400 the real
00:29:55.720 quid
00:29:56.000 quid
00:29:56.380 pro quo
00:29:56.720 back then
00:29:57.240 was Joe
00:29:58.260 Biden
00:29:58.540 withholding
00:29:59.000 a billion
00:29:59.700 dollars
00:30:00.420 from Ukraine
00:30:02.300 until they
00:30:02.800 fired the
00:30:03.420 prosecutor
00:30:03.860 that was
00:30:04.180 going after
00:30:04.900 the company
00:30:06.040 where his
00:30:06.500 son was
00:30:06.980 getting paid
00:30:07.540 and he was
00:30:08.040 getting the
00:30:08.460 other
00:30:08.660 kickbacks
00:30:09.140 look Ben
00:30:09.920 I don't
00:30:10.620 care
00:30:11.020 I don't
00:30:11.620 care about
00:30:12.180 the quid
00:30:12.580 pro quo
00:30:13.180 I don't
00:30:13.820 care
00:30:14.280 even about
00:30:15.580 the analogies
00:30:16.620 to the
00:30:16.900 Trump impeachment
00:30:17.620 everyone knew
00:30:18.320 at the time
00:30:18.860 that was a
00:30:19.380 partisan exercise
00:30:20.260 by Democrats
00:30:20.960 because they
00:30:21.520 hated Trump
00:30:22.140 had nothing
00:30:22.920 to do with
00:30:23.360 Ukraine
00:30:23.740 had nothing
00:30:24.200 to do with
00:30:24.600 quid pro quo
00:30:25.220 it just had
00:30:25.960 to do with
00:30:26.660 orange man
00:30:27.460 bad
00:30:27.760 it had to
00:30:28.660 do with
00:30:28.920 Trump derangement
00:30:29.760 syndrome
00:30:30.160 we will
00:30:30.980 weaponize
00:30:31.540 impeachment
00:30:31.940 to go
00:30:32.260 after
00:30:32.500 Trump
00:30:32.820 by the
00:30:33.120 way
00:30:33.260 it's
00:30:33.440 the same
00:30:33.780 thing
00:30:34.020 that has
00:30:34.300 led
00:30:34.520 one
00:30:34.760 two
00:30:34.980 three
00:30:35.320 four
00:30:36.080 Democrat
00:30:36.760 prosecutions
00:30:38.540 of
00:30:38.940 Trump
00:30:39.380 in the
00:30:41.020 past
00:30:41.320 year
00:30:41.600 it's
00:30:42.320 what
00:30:42.560 led
00:30:42.940 to
00:30:43.160 the
00:30:43.480 ridiculous
00:30:44.680 circus
00:30:45.180 playing out
00:30:45.820 in the
00:30:45.980 New York
00:30:46.260 trial court
00:30:46.880 just like
00:30:47.600 the last
00:30:48.100 ridiculous
00:30:48.660 circus
00:30:49.040 that played
00:30:49.500 out in
00:30:49.760 a different
00:30:50.080 New York
00:30:50.440 trial court
00:30:51.020 the one
00:30:51.500 the civil
00:30:53.060 trial that
00:30:53.740 resulted
00:30:54.140 in a half
00:30:54.540 billion dollar
00:30:55.240 judgment
00:30:55.560 against
00:30:55.920 Trump
00:30:56.240 the current
00:30:57.080 one
00:30:57.420 where
00:30:57.680 Democrats
00:30:58.340 are living
00:30:59.580 their
00:31:00.500 fantasy
00:31:01.600 this is
00:31:04.280 fantasy
00:31:05.320 porn
00:31:07.080 and by the
00:31:07.920 way I don't
00:31:08.600 mean in
00:31:09.080 terms of
00:31:09.720 actual
00:31:10.160 a porn
00:31:11.020 star
00:31:11.340 discussing
00:31:11.960 salacious
00:31:12.720 details
00:31:13.220 that's
00:31:13.560 actually the
00:31:13.980 least
00:31:14.160 pornographic
00:31:14.720 thing
00:31:15.100 for leftists
00:31:16.480 they're just
00:31:17.180 loving seeing
00:31:18.560 Trump dragged
00:31:19.440 through the
00:31:19.880 mud
00:31:20.120 because they
00:31:20.860 hate his
00:31:21.240 guts
00:31:21.600 and so
00:31:22.720 I am
00:31:24.340 less concerned
00:31:25.540 about the
00:31:27.080 quid pro quo
00:31:27.700 stuff
00:31:28.200 than I am
00:31:29.580 about the
00:31:30.000 simple
00:31:30.300 reality
00:31:30.880 given a
00:31:31.700 choice
00:31:32.100 between
00:31:33.500 Israel
00:31:34.120 and Hamas
00:31:35.300 Joe Biden
00:31:36.880 and today's
00:31:37.520 Democrats
00:31:38.100 over and
00:31:39.040 over and
00:31:39.520 over again
00:31:40.160 choose Hamas
00:31:41.180 that is
00:31:42.740 astonishing
00:31:43.580 it is
00:31:44.680 idiotic
00:31:45.440 it is
00:31:46.060 unprecedented
00:31:46.800 it is
00:31:47.720 dangerous
00:31:48.520 it is
00:31:49.280 indefensible
00:31:50.140 and there
00:31:50.540 are no
00:31:50.900 Democrats
00:31:51.340 defending it
00:31:52.020 every
00:31:52.620 Democrat
00:31:53.100 ought to
00:31:53.400 be asked
00:31:53.840 why
00:31:54.360 given the
00:31:55.180 choice
00:31:55.440 between
00:31:55.720 Israel
00:31:56.080 and Hamas
00:31:56.600 do you
00:31:56.960 choose to
00:31:57.420 give
00:31:57.680 money
00:31:58.200 and weapons
00:31:58.660 to Hamas
00:31:59.260 and blockade
00:32:00.860 weapons
00:32:01.760 to Israel
00:32:02.620 well let's
00:32:03.500 go back
00:32:03.880 quickly to
00:32:04.600 you guys
00:32:05.180 getting notified
00:32:06.060 about the
00:32:06.880 president
00:32:07.280 deciding to
00:32:08.000 change this
00:32:08.680 and to
00:32:09.240 basically go
00:32:10.240 around the
00:32:10.740 sanctions
00:32:11.180 so if I've
00:32:12.360 got the
00:32:12.720 list correct
00:32:13.460 there's these
00:32:14.720 newest hey
00:32:15.620 we're gonna
00:32:15.920 allow for
00:32:16.920 you know
00:32:17.540 these weapons
00:32:18.280 to be sold
00:32:18.820 to places
00:32:19.300 that are
00:32:19.760 basically
00:32:20.380 hate Israel
00:32:21.200 we have
00:32:22.360 Iran
00:32:23.220 that we
00:32:24.040 have all
00:32:24.380 sanctions on
00:32:25.140 Iran right
00:32:25.800 now that
00:32:26.280 we're not
00:32:26.740 imposing
00:32:27.340 and we
00:32:29.180 have a
00:32:29.760 president
00:32:30.300 this is
00:32:31.080 coming also
00:32:31.680 from the
00:32:32.000 New York
00:32:32.160 Times
00:32:32.520 Peter Baker
00:32:33.200 that Biden
00:32:34.680 privately
00:32:35.600 threatened to
00:32:36.260 rethink his
00:32:36.820 support for
00:32:37.460 the war
00:32:37.860 in a private
00:32:38.420 call with
00:32:38.900 Netanyahu
00:32:39.280 back in
00:32:39.880 February
00:32:40.340 that would
00:32:41.540 be two
00:32:42.640 months before
00:32:43.520 doing so
00:32:44.000 publicly so
00:32:44.700 lying to the
00:32:45.280 American people
00:32:45.840 are misleading
00:32:46.400 them the
00:32:47.380 White House
00:32:47.920 didn't put it
00:32:48.500 into the
00:32:48.840 readout of
00:32:49.460 the call
00:32:49.960 because they
00:32:50.900 purposely were
00:32:51.720 trying to I
00:32:52.620 would argue
00:32:53.040 cover up or
00:32:54.200 avoid quote a
00:32:55.260 public blow
00:32:56.320 up and the
00:32:57.240 New York
00:32:57.480 Times has
00:32:58.040 got this
00:32:58.460 now now
00:33:00.340 look that's
00:33:00.980 exactly right
00:33:01.980 this administration
00:33:03.000 from the
00:33:04.700 beginning from
00:33:05.340 January 20th
00:33:06.340 2021 they
00:33:07.580 have been
00:33:07.920 systematically
00:33:08.580 undermining
00:33:09.380 Israel and
00:33:11.140 and and and by
00:33:12.060 the way some
00:33:12.600 Democrats will
00:33:13.220 say well it's
00:33:13.780 Netanyahu they
00:33:14.500 hate look
00:33:15.180 there's a
00:33:15.540 unity government
00:33:16.140 Israel the
00:33:16.800 entire war
00:33:17.640 cabinet supports
00:33:18.420 going into
00:33:18.940 Rafa that
00:33:19.920 Rafa is where
00:33:20.940 the Hamas
00:33:21.480 terrorists are and
00:33:23.100 Israel is
00:33:24.020 committed we're
00:33:24.740 going to
00:33:25.180 destroy Hamas
00:33:26.060 the Biden
00:33:26.980 administration and
00:33:27.840 the Democrats
00:33:28.360 have decided
00:33:28.940 they're going to
00:33:29.480 use the full
00:33:30.100 force of the
00:33:30.580 American government
00:33:31.320 to try to
00:33:32.420 protect Hamas

00:35:25.840 senator final
00:35:26.960 question I have
00:35:27.700 for you is this
00:35:28.580 if you are
00:35:30.240 Israel right now
00:35:31.160 in essence you're
00:35:32.280 being blackmailed
00:35:33.080 to not protect
00:35:35.740 yourself you have
00:35:36.980 a country that's
00:35:38.620 supposed to be
00:35:39.000 your ally that
00:35:39.740 they're heavily
00:35:41.020 dependent on for
00:35:41.820 military aid and
00:35:43.540 equipment and the
00:35:44.860 president saying I'm
00:35:45.860 not giving it to you
00:35:46.700 if you don't do
00:35:47.300 what I tell you to
00:35:48.100 do and you see
00:35:50.060 this and then you
00:35:51.780 look at our
00:35:52.240 withdrawal from
00:35:52.820 Afghanistan and
00:35:54.240 then you look at
00:35:54.840 what's happening in
00:35:55.580 Russia and Ukraine
00:35:56.320 if you're an ally of
00:35:57.960 America right now
00:35:59.000 do you feel like
00:36:00.440 you're actually a
00:36:01.660 genuine ally because
00:36:03.300 in the past if you
00:36:04.900 were an ally of
00:36:05.520 America it meant big
00:36:06.660 brother America is
00:36:07.520 going to protect and
00:36:08.200 defend you and you
00:36:09.000 don't screw with the
00:36:09.920 little brother because
00:36:11.300 they're an ally of
00:36:12.100 America and if you do
00:36:12.920 there will be major
00:36:13.480 consequences that
00:36:15.120 seems to be
00:36:15.800 completely gone now
00:36:17.100 in the world yeah
00:36:18.440 look I think every
00:36:19.600 ally of America is
00:36:21.160 questioning how
00:36:22.680 valuable is that with
00:36:23.860 with Joe Biden as
00:36:24.980 president being an
00:36:25.880 ally of America you
00:36:26.980 can't count on on
00:36:28.080 this administration
00:36:29.080 let's take for
00:36:30.100 example a country like
00:36:31.120 Saudi Arabia listen I
00:36:32.800 think if Donald Trump
00:36:33.980 had served a second
00:36:34.860 term Saudi Arabia
00:36:36.760 would have joined the
00:36:37.640 Abraham Accords they
00:36:38.500 were very close to
00:36:39.440 they were ready to do
00:36:40.520 so and Biden came in
00:36:43.080 and he immediately
00:36:43.780 began undermining our
00:36:45.340 allies including Saudi
00:36:46.380 Arabia and Saudi
00:36:47.000 Arabia still has not
00:36:47.960 joined the Abraham
00:36:49.160 Accords and I think
00:36:50.440 explain the Abraham
00:36:51.620 Accords people that
00:36:52.300 may that are listening
00:36:52.960 may not understand
00:36:53.620 exactly what that
00:36:54.360 means so the Abraham
00:36:55.380 Accords were historic
00:36:56.820 peace deals that
00:36:58.700 Donald Trump and his
00:36:59.740 administration
00:37:00.360 negotiated and they
00:37:01.340 were peace deals
00:37:02.120 they were peace
00:37:02.680 accords between Israel
00:37:04.580 and several Arab
00:37:05.640 countries between the
00:37:07.900 United Arab Emirates
00:37:09.000 between Bahrain and
00:37:10.920 and Israel and and I
00:37:12.840 I was there on the
00:37:13.780 South Lawn of the
00:37:14.420 White House when they
00:37:15.040 were signed into law
00:37:16.040 and and it was you
00:37:18.020 had to go back 40
00:37:19.000 years for the last
00:37:20.880 time something like
00:37:21.700 this had happened it
00:37:22.400 had been either with
00:37:23.020 Jordan or with Egypt
00:37:23.980 and it had been 40
00:37:25.240 years since we'd seen
00:37:26.420 peace between the
00:37:27.600 Arabs and the
00:37:28.640 Israelis and we were
00:37:29.540 seeing multiple Arab
00:37:30.700 countries signing
00:37:32.220 normalization accords
00:37:33.960 they were called the
00:37:34.580 Abraham Accords with
00:37:36.080 Israel now I will say
00:37:37.040 it was very sad when
00:37:38.840 the Abraham Accords
00:37:39.640 were signed do you know
00:37:41.500 how many Democrat
00:37:42.240 senators showed up at
00:37:43.200 signing I'm gonna guess
00:37:44.740 between zero and five
00:37:46.480 zero there you go by
00:37:48.740 the way when we opened
00:37:49.780 our embassy in
00:37:51.540 Jerusalem in Israel I
00:37:53.900 was there I flew flew to
00:37:55.100 Israel I was there at
00:37:56.140 Jerusalem the day we
00:37:57.060 opened the embassy
00:37:57.720 happened to be the
00:37:58.700 70th anniversary of the
00:37:59.800 creation of the modern
00:38:00.580 state of Israel you know
00:38:01.740 how many Democrats were
00:38:02.920 there either senators or
00:38:04.860 house members the day we
00:38:05.980 opened our embassy in
00:38:06.780 Jerusalem I'm gonna go
00:38:08.060 zero zero not a one now
00:38:11.040 Joe Lieberman was there
00:38:12.320 so you could say he was
00:38:13.360 a former Democrat
00:38:14.280 senator but to be clear
00:38:15.360 the Democrats drove him
00:38:16.680 out of the party and the
00:38:17.560 last time he was reelected
00:38:18.720 he was reelected as an
00:38:19.620 independent because they'd
00:38:20.520 beaten him in the
00:38:21.400 Democrat primary so he
00:38:23.000 had been a Democrat but
00:38:24.200 he didn't lose his mind
00:38:25.320 and decide that he hated
00:38:26.440 Israel and so that was
00:38:28.580 the closest we have and
00:38:29.540 by the way the the defense
00:38:32.600 that that some Democrats
00:38:34.280 gave as to why they
00:38:35.260 didn't go to the opening
00:38:36.920 of the embassy in
00:38:37.620 Jerusalem which by the
00:38:38.960 way many many Democrat
00:38:41.260 senators had claimed they
00:38:42.660 supported for years the
00:38:44.740 defense they did they gave
00:38:46.060 as well Trump didn't
00:38:47.580 invite us you know what
00:38:48.340 Trump didn't invite me
00:38:49.120 either when they opened
00:38:51.180 when they were opening
00:38:53.100 the embassy I said I'm
00:38:54.580 going and and by the way
00:38:56.360 let me tell you how it
00:38:57.060 works as a senator if you
00:38:58.320 want to go somewhere you
00:38:59.160 go you don't have to be
00:39:00.300 invited by the White House
00:39:01.320 they don't decide where
00:39:02.760 you travel as a senator I
00:39:04.260 decided this is an historic
00:39:05.940 moment I will be there and
00:39:07.300 and I flew down there
00:39:08.640 Mike Lee flew down there
00:39:10.100 with me Lindsey Graham was
00:39:11.420 down there Dean Heller was
00:39:12.680 there there were several
00:39:13.740 Republican senators I
00:39:15.600 proposed to Mike hey do you
00:39:17.020 want to go to Israel for
00:39:17.800 the opening of the embassy
00:39:18.560 said absolutely let's go and
00:39:19.940 we flew down the reason no
00:39:22.060 Democrats were there is
00:39:23.120 they didn't want to be
00:39:24.420 there they didn't want to
00:39:25.860 be at the signing of the
00:39:27.200 Abraham Accords and and the
00:39:28.700 point is the value of being
00:39:31.560 an ally to America when Joe
00:39:34.420 Biden and the feckless
00:39:35.980 Democrats are in charge is
00:39:38.480 much much less than it used
00:39:41.140 to be and that's tragic it
00:39:42.920 should be really valuable to
00:39:45.440 be a friend and ally of
00:39:46.720 America and and listen if
00:39:48.860 you're the government of
00:39:49.660 Taiwan right now you got to
00:39:50.920 be looking around going boy
00:39:52.680 I'm feeling really lonely and
00:39:54.000 those are some big Chinese
00:39:55.600 missiles and big big Chinese
00:39:57.480 amphibious vehicles that that
00:40:00.360 are looming on the horizon
00:40:01.760 yeah great point and it's
00:40:04.420 shocking to see this
