Speaker 1 (00:01):
We have got a lot to cover, including what's happening
in the Trumpet trial and shock happening there live on
TV as a man set himself on fire in front
of the courthouse where Donald Trump's jury trial is underway.
He doused himself in heavy gasoline, then set himself on fire.

(00:21):
This all caught live on CNN as the man stood
was on fire, then started to follow the ground, then
fell the ground. Then finally there was people there to
come over to try to put out the flames. Now,
all of this is happening, and this is actually the
second time we've seen this. Recently, we saw a man
that identified himself as an American service member who set

(00:43):
himself on fire. He died setting himself on fire in
front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, d C. Clearly,
this is one of those things where one person does
it and then others follow suit. This is I'm assuming,
part of trump deranged syndrome, of those that are psychotic
that are now thinking their best way to protest Donald

(01:05):
Trump is to set themselves on fire and take their
own life. Now, we're gonna have more on the trial
coming up in a moment, but actually, no, let me
say this first. One of the reporters today and this
made me laugh. They were reporting on the jury selection
and the reporter actually said, like the truth here, We

(01:25):
know that about ninety percent of the people in Manhattan
voted for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. And the reporter
came out and said this, potential Trump jurors are more
left of center than not.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, no crap, thanks for telling us that.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman saying potential Trump jurors
more often than not lean politically.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Laugh.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, when you win ninety percent of the vote in
a certain area and that's where you're pulling the pool
of jurors from, of course they're going to be leaning left,
which is exactly why they brought the charges in New
York City. Haberman's statement confirms a widely held fact among
Republicans that former President Donald Trump will, in fact, not

(02:06):
receive a fair criminal trial in Manhattan. President Joe Biden,
and I want to make sure that the fact checkers
understand these numbers, so I'm going to give the exact
data here. President Joe Biden won over eighty six percent
of the Manhattan vote in twenty twenty, so basically around
ninety percent if you're rounding up. One thing that's been
striking during this round of jury selection is there's a

(02:30):
lot of people who, based on their answers, are more
left of center than not politically, wrote Haberman, who doubles
as a political analyst for CNN when she's not running
propaganda for the Communists New York Times. But some seem
to be trying to show they consider alternate viewpoints, and
others seem to want to show they believe in the

(02:51):
concept of jury service as independent from personal opinions, she added,
which whether that's actually true or not, we may never know.
The reason why I say that is they could just
be lying because they hate Trump and they want to
get on the jury now. Jonathan Turley, who's on Fox
News Channel, he also had what he described as his
biggest concern, and that is Trojan horse jurors, those that

(03:15):
desperately want to get on this trial to then convict
Donald Trump. Take a listen to this that he had
to say on Fox News Channel.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Thank you Jonathan Turley joining us now a constitutional law
attorney and a Fox News contributor.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
So we started the day with seven jurors.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
We are now down to five, Jonathan, what do we
need to know right now?

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Well, this is really a part of this entire play
in that you've got a jury pool that is really
heavily weighted, obviously with people who have strong opinions against Trump.
Only about twelve percent of the people in this area
voted for Trump. The jurors you have to worry about
are the ones who are sort of trojan horse chers.

(03:58):
Are the ones who are hiding bias that doesn't appear
on social media, are involved in any formal charges like
the one that was just removed today. Those are the
ones you have to worry about that they're so motivated
by their dislike for Trump that they're willing to lie
on the stand. Now, we have seen jurors who have
later been found who have misrepresented their histories in a

(04:21):
couple of prior cases involving Trump associates. In both those cases,
the judges in Washington, d c. Refused to reconsider the verdict.
And so this is a very important stage to try
to filter out these types of jurors.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
That being said, on the case itself and where this
all goes, Jonathan, this is Andrew Drewcawski on anar this
morning on Newsroom on the high burden of proof of
the prosecutors in this case.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Jonathan, let's listen together.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
There are two layers of specific intent that the prosecutors
have to establish in order to convict Donald Trump, and
that's a very difficult thing to do. It's even more
difficult when they don't have direct evidence of it. Donald
Trump expected to testify. He said he's going to do that. Certainly,
he'll deny his own mental intent here.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Do you agree with all that, Jonathan.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
It's certainly true that the problem with the intent here
is that there's lots of reasons why you would want
to pay hush money. He was married, he had a
leading television program, and yes he had ambitions for the presidency.
But this entire Diamonds based on his intent to try
to conceal a crime. It's very ambiguous what that crime

(05:36):
is because the federal government didn't consider this a crime
an a legal campaign contribution. So the entire thing is
rather murky, and the jury's going to have to deal
with that. The irony here is that the legal system
itself has really failed in this regard. The district attorney,
who once refused to move forward on this case yielded

(05:57):
the pressure. The courts have allowed this go forward, even
though many of us have said that it's absurd, and
so the New York legal system is now relying on
average people, frankly, to have a redemptive moment to say,
my god, I mean this. We have to say enough,
where's the crime here? And that will come down to

(06:19):
his intent. And keep in mind, you're going to have
his former lawyer telling this jury send my former client
to jail for following my legal advice. How many cases
do you know of where that's happened?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Really interesting.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
I'm looking down at my computer because we're getting some
pool notes out of the courtroom going back to the
jury selection and just how difficult it is going to
be to remind our audience they need twelve durers and
six alternates in total.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
We know we started the day with seven. We're down
to five.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
We got word just a short time ago out of
the courtroom that a male who raised some concerns about
a strong opinion about the former president Donald Trump has
been excused.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Was a prospective juror.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
Adding to that from the pool notes, just now, the
male juror that was just excused was excused after explaining
he was born and raised in Italy, saying the Italian
media have had a very strong association with mister Trump
and Silvio Berlusconi, adding it would be a little hard
for me to retain my impartiality and fairness.

Speaker 4 (07:24):
He has now been excused. Jonathan, your a reaction before
we let you.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
But by the way, let me just jump in here
because I wanted you to hear his well thought out
point here.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Number one, the federal government.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
Refused to prosecute this case because they said there basically
was no case there. And then, as he just described, there,
this whole case hinges around his former attorney, whose advice
he took. Who's then saying convict my former boss, right,
my former not boss client who I gave legal advice

(07:57):
to and I paid a payment. And now I want.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
You to send him to Joe. I'm me to jail.

Speaker 1 (08:03):
No, no, no, I want you to send him to jail.
Do you know what I said. That's what they're now saying.
They're saying, we want to move him to jail, which
is totally put him in jail, not me, him and Joe,
which is totally insane. And yet here we are having
that exact conversation. We're having a conversation about not being

(08:27):
able to find jurors that will be honest, that are
not biased, and that is and even the New York
Times was saying, yeah, this is really hard, Like everybody
seems to be leaning to the left here right, Like
I mean, let me give you another example. There's a
new report that has just come out that the judge

(08:49):
allows a juror to be on this jury after there
was protests from Trump's lawyers who celebrated Trump's loss in
the twenty twenty election to stay in the pool. Does
that sound like a judge it's trying to be unbiased.
This New York Supreme Court justice reportedly allowed a juror
who's celebrated when Trump lost to be in the jury selection.

(09:13):
That that was not something that would you know, say, hey,
that's just too bias, right, So if that's the pool
that you're coming from, it is shocking.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Trace Gallaher said quote, they want to have.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
A challenge, a preemptive challenge to excuse a juror because
they thought that she said she could be impartial, but
at social media posts that apparently had her celebrating Trump,
losing in twenty twenty, and so they challenged her, and
the judge said, nope, she can be impartial. She stays
quote unquote, So there you go. If you don't think

(09:45):
the deck is stacked against the president United States of
America right now, you're wrong. The Democrat Manhattan District Attorney
Alvin Bragg that charged Trump with the thirty four felonies
and accused him of falsifying documents to conceal a scandal.
This trial is the first criminal trial of a president
of the United States of America, and they're doing it

(10:06):
in a place where basically ninety percent of the voters
in that place voted against Donald Trump. Only about one third,
by the way of US adults in the latest poll,
believed that Trump did something illegal regarding this specific case,
not in general, like this specific case, And the federal
government refused to take on this case because they said,

(10:29):
there's no crime that's being committed here.

Speaker 2 (10:33):
So what is this.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
This is another attempt, the same way that would happen
in Russia or China or any other communist or Marxist
country to take out your political opponent by locking them up.
And if you look at what Donald Trump has had
to go through. His property was almost seized. Recently, they
set a bail that was like one hundred times higher
than Bernie Madoff, who actually ran a multi billion dollar

(10:56):
Ponzi scheme, the biggest Ponzis game in American history to
put inspect and Donald Trump had to come up with
more money to get out of jail. Right, are more
money to put up to appeal? I should say then
that guy Bernie Madoff had to put up, which is
totally insane. Now I want to move to something else
that's happening on the House side. It's important and it

(11:18):
deals with foreign aid. There are a lot of people
that are really upset right now, calling it a UNI
Party speaker Mike Johnson.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
This is how it's being described by some.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
And I say some because I want you to understand
my viewpoint, and I'm going to give it to you
in a second. But I want you understand what many
are saying right now. They're saying that Mike Johnson is
a turncoat. He is a man who has surrendered. He
is a man that is bowed down to the left.
Democrats seize control of the House floor. Another conservative website

(11:50):
put it that way. Democrats are in the minority no
longer and a stunning historical development. On Friday, Democrats seize
upon a Republican surrender to take control the agenda of
the House floor, and astonishing one hundred and sixty five
Democrats voted for a rule from Speaker Mike Johnson to
allow a one hundred billion dollar foreign aide supplemental package

(12:11):
to the floor on Saturday that will be a shock
to many. The House will hold four votes on final
passes for each of those packages, including a Ukraine funding
bill with tens of billions of American taxpayers dollars going
to Ukraine. Minority party members rarely vote for a procedural
rule to allow the majority parties agenda to proceed through

(12:32):
the House. Doing so in such numbers is widely unprecedented.
History was first made on Thursday, just before midnight, when,
for the first time in recorded history since the House
began keeping records, the House Rules Committee relied on Minority
party votes to overcome objections from the majority and advance

(12:53):
a rule bill to the House floor. The powerful House
Rules Committee, known for generations as the Speakers Committee, for
the control the Speaker of the House possesses over the
committee and its reputation as a rubber stamp for the
speaker's agenda sets the floor agenda for the House through
what is known as the rules. So what happened? Johnson

(13:15):
disregarded history. He abandoned his own party. Despite its majority,
it is slim yes, with more Democrats voting to advance
the House agenda than Republicans. The minority party has effectively
taken control over bills that will come before the House.
Not not every bill, but these four. In the end,
one hundred and fifty one support of the rule with

(13:37):
only thirty nine Republicans in opposition. The final tally was
three sixteen to ninety four. Minority Leader Hakeem jeffrieson In
is a messenger in the minority no longer he's taken over.
That is how it is described by Breitbart. Now you
can jump on that bandwagon and you can ride that train,

(13:59):
and there are there some that are doing it. In fact,
more Republicans now are saying yes, they are now open
to supporting Margley Taylor Green's motion to vacate the speakership
if she forces the vote. Eli Crane now saying he's
with her. Now Representative Eli Crane is a Republican from Arizona.

(14:19):
He said that he would be open and supporting Marjorie
Taylor Green's motion to vacate the Cherrigan Speaker Johnson if
she were to make it to make it privileged. Crane's
comments came in a press gaggle with reporters shortly after
Johnson enlisted the help of Democrats to pass his role
unlocking foreign aid votes on multiple bills, a role that
hardline conservatives like Crane opposed vigorously. If Congresswoman Green were

(14:45):
to trigger a vote on the resolution, you would consider
supporting it, a reporter asked Crane. He responded with quote,
I'm open to it. My position is that I'm open.
I'm not going to tell you guys what I'm going
to do, and we'll see if that materializes. We'll see
if that is if the trigger is pulled on this,
that won't be up to me. But I'm definitely frustrated,

(15:06):
like a lot of the conference and a lot of
the American people. Now, Green's motion of vacate, which is
now co sponsored by Representative Thomas Massey, a Republican from Kentucky,
is not privileged mean the House does not immediately have
to take it up.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
So this is when the House rules and how they
work are extremely important to understand. Asked if he had
spoken with Green about her motion of vacate, which she came,
which could make privilege at any time and force the
House to consider it within two days, Crane said he
had not. He has, however, had communication with Johnson over

(15:40):
his quote frustration, saying this, he knows how frustrated I am,
and I do it as respectfully as I can, but
I'm not going to pull punches because at the end
of the day, this is so much bigger than me
or a motion of vacate or Speaker Mike Johnson. To me,
this comes down to are you going to try and
save this Kun or are we just going to continue

(16:02):
on with the Washington Unit party that continually sells out
the American people. Crane further know that there is a
quote sense that there's a souring to House Republican leadership
that goes beyond the Free House Freedom Caucus, based on
the conversations he is hearing from the conference and around
the conference saying this, I think that the Speaker should

(16:24):
take that seriously. I think he's been told every way
that we know how and we'll see how he does
with that. Crane's comments come as his Arizona colleague, represented
Paul Gossar, a Republican from Arizona, announced he would back
Green's motion after Johnson surrendered operational control of the House

(16:44):
to the Democrats. Now, this is one of those moments
that is actually way more complicated than people.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Want to admit. And let me explain what I mean
by that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
We have a insanely slim majority in the House and
what that does is it gives every member a lot
more I think the fair way to put it is
probably power than they've ever had before. There is no
unity within the Republican Party because there's so many Republicans

(17:19):
in Washington, DC. There are grand centers. Democrats understand how
to stay together. Okay, Democrats understand how important it is
to unify on certain issues. And what's happened now is
Republicans that want to get famous. The easiest way to
get famous is to come out like Marjorie Taylor Green

(17:39):
and say, Hey, I'm going to get rid of every
Republican speaker that doesn't do what I tell them to do.
That's what it really boils down too. It's actually that simple.
And so you have a few Republicans now that have
been able to really beat their chests and really stay right,

(18:02):
really really really stick it to the leadership when they
don't get what they want and they get to threaten
exactly what you just heard, right, well, we're gonna get
rid of you. It's exactly what happened to the last
Speaker of the House. And then we had others that
try to become the speaker, and then they weren't able
to even get the votes to be the speaker. So
then there was this compromise on Johnson. And now the

(18:23):
same people that said Johnson's way better than Jim Jordan
or anybody else, we find out they hate him. Now
you are set up to fail because of the media
and social media. Now with this little of a majority,
with a Republican party that doesn't understand how to actually lead,
or let me rephrase that, there's enough people that don't

(18:45):
understand how to actually lead on the issue. That's the
real problem here. Okay, Like number one, that's it. Democrats understand,
when you have a small majority, you don't act like it.
You unify on everything and you act like you are
lockstep on every issue. And you figure it out behind
closed doors, and then you walk out completely and utterly

(19:05):
united and you do not flinch. Well, that is not
what has been happening here at all. That's number one,
number two on this And the other point that has
to be made is if Mike Johnson doesn't make it,
and then the last guy, Kevin McCarthy, doesn't make it.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
And I was in favor of getting rid of McCarthy.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I just think he was I think he was an
egotistical jerk, and he didn't work well with others, and
he wanted to dictate and that didn't work. But I
warned you, I said, if they do it again to
Mike Johnson, then we've lost total control of the House.
And Democrats are laughing all the way into November. In fact,
I wouldn't be surprised if the Democrats of the Majority
Party come November, because there's some Republicans that we've already

(19:43):
witnessed it, have already just quit. They say I'm done
with this, I'm wasting my time, We're getting nothing done
done here. I'm basically a useful idiot right now. For
this country beca because of a few psychos in the
Republican Party. Now, I also don't believe they're patriots. I
believe they are basically the equivalent of a political suicide bomber.

(20:04):
If I don't get what I want, I will blow
up the entire system. And now they've blown up it
the system, it looks like not just once, but they're
about to do it all over again. So why would
anybody want to be the Speaker of the House the
Republican after this guy?

Speaker 2 (20:18):
Because as soon.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
As you do something that one of these these narcissistic
crazies don't like, they're just going to get rid of you.
One part of my job that I actually have enjoyed
is going back to Washington, DC affair amount for the
work that I do with Senator Cruz. On the podcast
Vertict with Ted Cruz, I co host with him, and
when I'm there, I do my best to spend quality

(20:40):
time with elected officials to see what's going on, hear
what's going on dealing with issues border security, etc. And
that's been extremely helpful. And there's several conservatives that I
have an incredible amount of respect for that have said

(21:00):
to me that many of these members have been there
a while they're like this, we're getting nothing done.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's completely stagnant.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
The work that we're doing is pretty much getting hijacked
every time because it's not conservative enough for the people.
And so when they say that something isn't conservative enough
for them, right then immediately what they do is they say,
all right, well we're gonna get rid of you as
a speaker, and they put a gun to their head.
And so what's happening is we're watching conservatives just quit.

(21:27):
They're not finishing out their terms. Now you can describe
some of them as like, hey, that shows just how
self serving you are in general.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
And there's some that have done that.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
They've quit knowing they're going to put the Republican Party
in a worst spot with a slimmer majority. There's others
that say, but if you were happy to deal what
we're dealing with behind the scenes each and every day,
you would understand why they're saying they're throwing their hands
up going I can't deal with someone like Margley Taylor Green.
I can't deal with a Warren Bobert, for example. I'm done,
we're not doing anything. I'm flying up here every week

(21:59):
and I'm wasting my time. There is some truth to that.
If they get rid of Johnson this quickly. I don't
know who is going to want to try to take
that job next. It's a serious individual. And look, some
of this is just revenge. There are people like Matt
Gaates that don't like some of the Republicans and because

(22:19):
of partially the investigations into him, ethics, investigations in him,
and this is his way of settling the score. This
is his way of basically blowing up the buildings saying, okay,
watch this, you guys. You know let them investigate me
and didn't stop it. I'm gonna I'm taking.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
All of you on. Now.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
He's fighting more with a Republican party than he's ever
fought with a Democratic party.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
And I don't think that's what his job should be. Now.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Some say, do it right, go to town and fight
all these people and fight every war you can get
your hands on, and just do it and go all in.
I don't believe that that's the wise thing to do here.
I think that's a very nice thing to do. I
think it's incredibly selfish. And that's the reason why I said,
in government, you don't always get what you want. You

(23:08):
have to sometimes compromise. Now, I wish Republicans could stick together.
They do have the majority, they could do a lot
of things. But everybody right now, with such a slim
majority has way too much power to walk away and
destroy everything. And they're leveraging that power for their own
selfish way reasons, and they're not playing as a team.
That is of the moderates and that is of the

(23:30):
extreme conservatives.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
I want to make that clear.

Speaker 1 (23:33):
Both ends of the spectrum are doing this right now.
They are holding the entire system hostage. This is going
to end up being a disaster. And I predict that
if Johnson goes that, there is a very good chance
that there will be others that just resign from Congress.
Do not wait till November to resign, And as they resign,

(23:56):
then all of a sudden, you could have the Democrats
be in charge of the how Senate and the White
House because the Republicans handed it to them. That should
make every one of us furious. It should make every
one of us extremely angry. We gave them the majority

(24:17):
and they have screwed it up. And if they hand
over all of this to the Democratic Party, make no mistake,
they are going to ram through their radical socialist communist
agenda for the last six seven months eight months of
the year whenever this may happen, because there will be
nothing that we can do to stop them.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
They will do.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Everything they can to implement socialism and communism and open
border policies and amnesty and whatever they can get their
hands on, because why wouldn't you if you're in this scenario,
in this situation, And the only people we have to
blame is the Republican that quit, the moderates and the

(25:02):
and the extreme wing of the Republican Party that refused
to understand that sometimes in government you actually don't always
get what you want. You you have to fight for
the best deal that you can get because Congress has
hundreds and hundreds of people that have to vote, and

(25:22):
when the hundreds and hundreds of people vote, there is
not always going to be the outcome that you want
or the perfect bill. I would argue there's no perfect
bill in Congress because if Congress is working the right way,
not everybody got exactly what they wanted, right. Remember remember
when Obamacare happened, there were Democrats that were mad because

(25:43):
they thought it didn't get due to socialized medicine fast
enough and one and one, you know, one size fits
all healthcare for every American. There were Democrats that were furious.
They're like, look, we've got a super majority. In essence,
we should just be socializing the entire system and not
allowing for health care and the private sector to exist
at all. Now, do they blow up the system because

(26:04):
they didn't get exactly what they wanted that day. No,
they realized it was a massive step towards socialized medicine,
so they took it. Republicans need to go back and
look at that scenario and realize you're not going to
get everything you want. You might get some pretty good
stuff that you want, but if you keep governing this way,

(26:25):
we are going to squander our majority in the House.
We're going to squander our opportunity, and we're going to
squander the ability for us to defend and protect this
country from the socialists and communists that are running it
in the House, in it in the deep state. Now,
let me move on to something else that's important right

(26:46):
now as well, and I want to bring this up because.

Speaker 2 (26:50):
It's so important.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
Center Ernst urged Biden to step up against Iranian aggression
after the Israel's Israel's counter attack, and it was an
interesting point that he made, and I want you to
hear it, because the White House is not standing really
with Israel right now.

Speaker 2 (27:07):
Listen.

Speaker 7 (27:09):
Israel has in fact punched back at Iran by launching
a limited missile attack overnight. And so today we are
spending so much time trying to figure out what is next,
and we will watch things closely. It is nightfall in
that part of the world. Already President Biden reportedly had
told Israel to take the win. We were reporting that

(27:31):
for days after Iran last Saturday targeted the Jewish state with.

Speaker 4 (27:36):
Missiles and drones.

Speaker 7 (27:38):
So is this back and forth now between those nations
leading the Middle East into a wider war?

Speaker 4 (27:43):
And how would it affect us?

Speaker 7 (27:45):
Senate Republicans are accusing the White House being too soft
on crime by Iran. You might say President Biden has
consistently failed to push back on the Iranian regime, the.

Speaker 4 (27:58):
Kind of parade of horrible as you just meant, Trea.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
I want to stress it is happening because Joe Biden
has projected weakness all around the world.

Speaker 4 (28:05):
Make absolutely no mistake. Iran is not deterred. It is
actually evolvant.

Speaker 7 (28:15):
A new York Post opinion piece with this headline. Instead
of pushing regime change in Israel, Biden should support it
in Iran. It argues every approach to curtailing Iran from
its threats and behavior toward Israel and other countries has failed.
A future US administration can make it clear to Israel
that America supports undermining and overthrowing the Tehran dictatorship. A Republican

(28:39):
Iowa Senator and Army combat veteran, Joni Ernzt, Senator, thank
you for being on the program today. First of all,
are we inching our way closer to a wider war
in the Middle East?

Speaker 8 (28:51):
Well, that is not a foregone conclusion, Harris. And what
we do know is that Israel, when they were attacked
over the weekend by Iran, saw the response from a
number of other Arab countries that actually stepped up to
defend their own airspace and Israel's interests.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
So I am with Israel.

Speaker 8 (29:14):
I am thankful that they did go ahead and strike Iran.
They retaliated just as they should. But what Iran needs
to keep in mind is that there is a very
strong group of Arab nations that do support Israel. They
don't agree with the attacks by Hamas on October seventh.

(29:34):
They are in the Abraham Accords. We know that Saudi
Arabia is trying to move forward with their own plans
with Israel to strengthen ties. So I think Iran needs
to be very careful about this.

Speaker 4 (29:49):
They need to think carefully.

Speaker 8 (29:50):
But President Joe Biden's got a step up. He can't
continue to appease Iran.

Speaker 7 (29:56):
Well, look so far, I only those four words don't
and take the win, and none of those words are
helping the situation.

Speaker 4 (30:03):
But what does it mean.

Speaker 7 (30:04):
When you tell an ally to just take it when
an enemy hits that ally.

Speaker 8 (30:09):
Well, it's absolutely unacceptable. In my opinion, Harris, President Joe
Biden shouldn't be bowing down to the Iranian regime. He
shouldn't be telling the Israelis how they should be fighting
their war.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
What he should be doing.

Speaker 8 (30:24):
Is saying, Israel, we will stand shoulder to shoulder with you.
Whatever you need, We're.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
On call you.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Notice she says we should be standing, and what we're
seeing clearly is they're not standing with Israel. The Biden
administration has said you just like sorry, like uh huh huh,
like you guys like we're not standing with you. Okay,
that's not happening. We're not going to stand with you.
This is something that will not happen. And that is

(30:55):
the problem here. We have a country that came back
with a limited response. If anything, you'd think the White
House would come out and praised them for it. They
did not. They did not praise them at all for this.
There was nothing that they did that praised them, which
is the other part of the problem. Make sure you
