00:09:47.780For those of y'all who weren't paying close attention in high school grammar, the active voice is when there is an actor who is acting on the verb.
00:10:30.260He doesn't acknowledge who has stifled the Gaza economy, which is Hamas, that takes millions of dollars that flow in there to build hospitals, to build schools, to build water pipes.
00:12:21.780Israel goes to greater lengths than any military on the face of the planet, including Portugal's.
00:12:26.380This guy's the former prime minister of Portugal.
00:12:28.000Portuguese military doesn't go to those lengths to avoid civilian casualties, including texting civilians, including dropping leaflets from the skies, including dropping dud bombs to let people know where they're going, including trying to evacuate civilians.
00:12:43.560The Israeli military does everything humanly possible to minimize civilian deaths.
00:12:54.520Hamas deliberately puts its headquarters in the basement of hospitals.
00:12:58.700It puts missiles in the basements of kindergartens because it wants dead Palestinian kindergarten children so that idiots like this can then use those dead human shields as a club to attack and demonize Israel.
00:13:17.920I want to tell you real quick about our friends at Augusta Precious Metals.
00:13:21.080If you're like me and you've wanted to buy gold for years, there's lots of commercials out there.
00:13:28.420Well, I didn't want a bad investment, but I didn't want to miss the boat either.
00:13:33.180And that probably sounds familiar to a lot of you.
00:13:35.920Fortunately for you, I've got great news.
00:13:38.260If you have an IRA or a 401k and want to buy physical gold, eliminate fear and uncertainty from the process using the new gold IRA company integrity checklist.
00:13:52.040It helps you evaluate and choose the best gold IRA company.
00:13:56.080Now, I used it personally to vet Augusta Precious Metals and I bought gold from Augusta Precious Metals myself.
00:14:03.620In fact, just a few weeks ago, I got a new package with new gold and silver that I decided to purchase.
00:14:10.820This checklist is the best way for you to check out a gold IRA company.
00:14:16.660And you can get your free gold IRA company integrity checklist today.
00:14:20.740All you have to do is text the word BEN to 68592.
00:16:21.920Now, you asked, is the United States going to echo that?
00:16:26.440Is Joe Biden going to echo the call for the UN Secretary General to resign?
00:16:30.260I'm willing to put the odds of that at 0.0 percent.
00:16:33.360There is no chance Joe Biden will call on the UN Secretary General to resign because those sentiments are the sentiments that are held by senior members of his administration,
00:16:44.760including, by the way, John Kerry, who's right now the climate czar, but he was the Secretary of State under Barack Obama.
00:16:51.200When John Kerry was Secretary of State, he referred to Israel as an apartheid state.
00:16:58.920When John Kerry did so, I went to the Senate floor and called on John Kerry to resign as Secretary of State.
00:17:04.940And I said at the time, I said, for the U.S. Secretary of State to repeat these blood libels,
00:17:11.980his words will be used by the enemies of Israel.
00:17:14.740They'll be used by Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran and those that seek the destruction of Israel.
00:17:20.460And so, unfortunately, under Joe Biden, I think there's no chance they're going to call on him to resign because many of them agree with him.
00:17:30.260It is so shocking that we are at a point now where we have an administration that can't just be outraged over basic issues of right and wrong.
00:17:39.420And this, to me, is an issue of right and wrong.
00:17:41.040So, for verdict listeners right now that say, hey, I want to stand up for Israel,
00:17:45.680should they be calling their congressmen and their senators and telling them that they should be putting pressure on this administration, on this U.N. issue?
00:17:53.320What you should be doing is speaking out for Israel, using your voice to make clear that what Hamas did was a grotesque war crime.
00:19:47.820We typically record these podcasts at 10 o'clock at night or 11 o'clock at night or midnight because both of us have full-time day jobs.
00:19:57.020But I think it is important to get this information out.
00:20:00.180And so sharing this podcast and making the case that when we see civilian casualties, which we will, making sure people understand this is because Hamas wants Palestinian civilians to die.
00:20:12.100They are counting on Democrats in the media to use this to attack Israel.
00:20:17.280Canadian women are looking for more, more of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:20:23.640And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:20:29.800And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:20:39.000So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:20:42.520Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:20:47.660You know, there's also something else that's happening, and that's going to happen on Wednesday.
00:22:27.900As you know, today, the UN arms embargo on Iran expires today.
00:22:36.320Ironically, the day of your hearing, you were pivotal in advocating for UN resolution 2231, the Iran deal,
00:22:46.000which is why the arms embargo is expiring today.
00:22:50.340On October 7th, Hamas used swarms of sophisticated drones in their October 7th attack.
00:22:58.060Do you believe the world is safer today because of 233, 2231 and the expiration of the arms embargo,
00:23:08.360allowing Iran now to sell ballistic missiles and long range drones?
00:23:14.320Senator, I think you would have to agree that the history of the U.S. engagement on JCPOA has changed substantially since I sat in this room.
00:23:23.980Do you think the world is better and safer with the arms embargo expires?
00:29:49.380He's not going to defend the sending money to Gaza, even though OFAC, the office that used to report to him, concluded there was a high likelihood it would go to Hamas and go to terrorism.
00:30:16.280Hundreds of millions that has flooded into Gaza was supposed to go to hospitals.
00:30:21.620Remember the goose stepping secretary general of the U.N.
00:30:25.400where he says talks about the poverty in Gaza.
00:30:28.860Well, the reason they're so poor is they take all the money that's supposed to go to hospitals and they send it to Hamas to kill Jews instead, because that's the only thing they care about is murdering as many Jews as possible.
00:30:43.440The questioning goes on, because next I ask him about the Biden administration systematically undermining Israel.
00:30:49.740And I'm going to foreshadow slightly if you thought he didn't know anything about or he claimed he didn't know anything about Biden's policy towards towards Gaza.
00:30:58.500He's going to claim he knows even less about Biden's policy towards Israel.
00:31:02.760Within hours of the attack commencing, the State Department sent out a tweet from the Office of Palestinian Affairs, an office that would report to you if you're confirmed, that said we unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that is incurred.
00:31:16.820We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks.
00:33:09.060In fact, there were some Democrats who were attacking me saying Cruz is holding this nomination.
00:33:13.520That was, in fact, not true because you cannot hold a nomination until it is cleared committee and is headed to the floor.
00:33:21.680Until it is made it out of committee, no senator can hold any nomination because there's no ability in the Senate to do that.
00:33:30.080So the reason Jack Lew had not proceeded until last week is because the Democrats who controlled the hearings hadn't scheduled a hearing for him.
00:33:36.600And they just allow his nomination to sit there for week after week after week after week.
00:33:40.640Now, once this attack happened, suddenly the Democrat talking point went out.
00:34:08.900There's a war in Israel and he's saying, well, I don't know what's happening.
00:34:12.940I don't know what the State Department said.
00:34:14.540I don't know what the State Department said the day the attack happened.
00:34:16.800I don't know what the Secretary of State said the day after the attack happened.
00:34:20.200Both of those tweets were deleted because they were disgraceful.
00:34:23.800They were deleted after I called them out.
00:34:26.240And his defense, it's just the I know nothing defense.
00:34:32.040And there's a reason he has to give that defense because the alternative is to actually defend it.
00:34:37.480And even the Biden administration won't defend it.
00:34:39.740They deleted the tweets and realized, oh, crap, we can't say this out loud.
00:34:43.640And so instead, he's reduced to just dissembling.
00:34:47.980And it seems to work for them because it's like they say, we'll get away with it because surely no one's really going to try to stop us now that we desperately need this nominee.
00:35:02.740Just, hey, act like you're an idiot so you get the nomination done with and then you can do what you really know.
00:35:08.040And we know you're going to do for us and what you really believe in.
00:35:11.240And you're not going to be a tough guy, you know, with Hamas, Hesabah.
00:35:14.560In fact, you're probably going to be tougher on Israel as the ambassador from the U.S.
00:35:18.520Yeah, look, the Biden administration's argument is essentially our policies have utterly screwed up.
00:35:24.360The Middle East has caused chaos in Israel, sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and funding terrorists was a spectacularly bad idea.
00:35:31.600But because things are so screwed up, we need to confirm one of the guys who was one of the lead advocates for sending hundreds of billions of dollars to Iran and the terrorists.
00:35:39.700In other words, one of the architects of the policies who screwed this up, we got to confirm as our ambassador because things are so screwed up.
00:35:48.040I would like to see a U.S. ambassador to Israel confirmed yesterday.
00:35:52.000I'd like to see one who actually is committed, number one, to defending America, but number two, to standing with our friend and ally Israel.
00:35:58.500And Jack Lew's record has been precisely backwards.
00:36:01.860But let's go to the last exchange of the hearing because the last exchange really reveals.
00:36:06.760And finally, you advocated for U.N. Resolution 2334, which declared much of Israel illegally occupied territory, including the Jewish quarter in Jerusalem and the Western Wall.
00:36:20.120Do you believe the Jewish quarter in the Western Wall are illegally occupied territory?
00:36:23.940Senator, I do not believe that it is illegally occupied territory.
00:36:31.500Then why did you support a U.N. resolution saying that it is?
00:36:34.340I think we could have a conversation about that, but it's going to take me more than 10 seconds to respond to it.
00:36:55.660So I don't think it was a fair characterization of either what I did or this administration.
00:37:00.860Second of all, the issue of a U.N. resolution is it was a U.N. resolution that all the parties had to agree to that was negotiated to take out the most offensive provisions.
00:37:15.020Whether it was a good or a bad resolution in the end, the president decided to abstain rather than have a worse resolution come out.
00:39:54.060The Obama administration was behind the scenes orchestrating the whole thing.
00:39:58.540But Lou was intimately involved in undermining Israel on the way out the door.
00:40:05.460And I will note, when the Trump presidency started, I introduced legislation that would have cut off funding for the United Nations entirely from the United States unless and until they rescinded U.N. Resolution 2334.
00:40:19.380And we should have stood hard and done that, unfortunately.
00:40:23.420In fact, I got in arguments with Nikki Haley, who was nominated to be U.N. ambassador, because she disagreed with doing that.
00:40:29.940And I think we should have stood firmly and said, this is a viciously anti-Israel resolution and we will not stand for it.
00:40:37.860You're not getting our money as long as you're attacking Israel.
00:40:42.520But I got to say, I have no doubt that the secretary general of the U.N. would.
00:40:51.100Would have been thrilled and maybe was thrilled at the time with the resolution.
00:40:56.780It's entirely consistent with the remarks that he made this week.
00:41:01.440It is, again, one of those issues where Americans need to understand these are important in big votes and these are people that are getting into positions of power.
00:41:12.000And they're putting not just our security at risk, but especially those in Israel at risk.
00:41:17.720And with this anti-Semitism, to be clear, that's what it is.
00:41:21.480I also want to play for you, Senator, the White House.
00:41:24.640They're taking some heat now for their stance on Israel that seems to be changing by the hour.
00:41:30.200Before I do that, I want to tell you about our friends at Chalk.
00:41:33.040If you are a guy and you're getting a little bit older and you feel like that you have lost some of your strength and your vitality,
00:41:40.820weakness is setting in, complacency is setting in, maybe you just don't feel like yourself.
00:41:45.720You want to go out and be more active, but you just feel like you are complacent and fatigued.
00:41:53.080The problem is men's testosterone levels are off a cliff historically at an all-time low.
00:42:00.040Thankfully, the patriots at Chalk are here to help real American men take back your right to proudly maximize your masculinity by boosting testosterone levels up to 20% over 90 days.
00:42:13.280I've been taking the Chalk male vitality stack now for months.
00:42:19.200It's manufactured right here in the U.S. of A, and Chalk's natural herbal supplements are clinically proven to have game-changing effects on your energy,
00:42:28.120on your focus, on your mood, and it is going to be a game-changer.
00:42:33.820You can maximize your masculinity today by going to ChalkCHOQ.com.
00:42:38.360You can boost your testosterone levels up to 20% over 90 days.
00:43:25.460Look, we have not seen any credible threats.
00:43:31.060I know there's been always questions about credible threats.
00:43:34.480And so I just want to make sure that that's out there.
00:43:37.260But look, Muslim and those perceived to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate number of hate-fueled attacks.
00:43:44.920And certainly President Biden understands that many of our Muslim Arab Americans and Palestinian American loved ones and neighbors
00:43:52.060are worried about the hate being directed at their communities.
00:43:55.360And that is something you heard the president speak to in his address just last Thursday.
00:44:01.860And so one of the things that the president has done is directed his homeland security team to prioritize prevention
00:44:08.340and disruption of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish, the Muslim, Arab Americans, or any other communities.
00:44:15.520And that is something that the president has sought to do since day one.
00:44:19.940And as you know, the president ran on protecting communities, obviously, but bringing people together, protecting the soul of the nation.
00:44:31.420And so that is something that the president takes very, very seriously.
00:44:36.300And we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate towards any American here.
00:44:41.400And so that's what we're going to continue to be steadfast on.
00:44:44.480Again, he has advised, directed his homeland security team to make sure that they're on top of this.
00:44:50.880Now, Senator, the part about this that's so laughable is the White House press secretary has now come out and said,
00:44:58.160quote, she misheard the anti-Semitism question only because of the massive backlash from that answer.
00:45:05.820Well, it really is striking that the White House press secretary is unwilling to stand up and clearly and unequivocally condemn anti-Semitism,
