00:00

you go back 10 years I mean Israel was uh  protected by Congress and now Congress is just  

00:06

doing numbers that are unbelievable with I think  a very very small group of people within Congress  

00:11

and it's got to stop Speaker 1: When Trump appears  on Fox News to be interviewed by Sean Hannity,  

00:16

it's supposed to be very friendly. It's  supposed to be a softball interview in  

00:20

which Trump at least comes off as mildly  or remotely coherent. It did not work that  

00:25

way yesterday. This was Trump's interview  with his friend Sean Hannity. To the extent  

00:30

that Trump has has friends. I'm going to  play a clip for you here. As Doctor John  

00:35

Gartner warned us, as doctor Harry Siegel  warned us, Trump is getting worse and he's  

00:41

getting worse quickly. I'm hearing in  this clip that Trump is using words.  

00:46

But are these even sentences? Is Trump okay? Speaker 2: Who would be thinking this could  

00:52

happen? You look at the anti-Semitism,  the hatred of Israel by so many people.  

00:58

You go back ten years. I mean, Israel was  protected by Congress, and now Congress  

01:04

is just doing numbers that are unbelievable  with, I think, a very, very small group of  

01:08

people within Congress. And it's got to stop. Speaker 1: Congress is doing numbers that are  

01:14

unbelievable with a small number of people  in Congress. What the hell is Trump talking  

01:22

about? Usually I know what he means, even if  the syntax of his speeches makes no sense.  

01:30

I don't know what on earth he's talking  about there. Trump then saying we must let  

01:36

Israel complete its war on terror. What? Speaker 2: Why aren't political figures.  

01:43

Understanding that there is good and  evil here and radical Islamic terrorism,  

01:49

is the evil part of this? Well, I'm  watching Jewish politicians abandon Israel,  

01:56

and I've seen it. And you've seen it. Where is  Schumer? Why isn't Schumer speaking up? He was  

02:01

always out there in front because he's looking  at votes, I guess. And I guess he's looking at  

02:05

maybe more votes to represent Israel. But that  has nothing to do with it. You have to do you  

02:10

have to stop this war on terror is Israel's war  on terror. October 7th was beyond violence. It was  

02:19

something that's done to people that nobody has  ever seen before, to babies. And a lot of people,  

02:24

people that are out there protesting, they deny  October 7th ever happened. October 7th did happen.  

02:31

And it was horrible and violent and disgraceful.  And it's got to be stopped. You can't have a thing  

02:37

like that. And when you have people out there  protesting and they're denying that October 7th  

02:42

ever took place, they're either brainwashed in a  certain way. I really believe they are brainwashed  

02:49

because you look at some of the comments, they  say none of this stuff happened and you know,  

02:53

we want Israel back. The fact is, you have to get  Israel back where it belongs because of what's  

02:59

happening in Israel right now is. Speaker 1: This is crazy. By the way,  

03:02

if you're not understanding this,  this is just a deranged rant. 

03:05

Speaker 2: Really not sustainable either.  We have to let Israel complete their war on  

03:10

terror. It's a horrible thing, but they have. Speaker 1: Listen, Trump is the last person we  

03:15

should be going to for any opinion about this.  If you're concerned about Biden's handling of  

03:21

the situation in Israel and Gaza, which, by  the way, it's not Biden's to handle. But if  

03:25

you're concerned about that, Trump would just  say destroy the entire thing, kill everyone,  

03:31

period. And then he'll go and congratulate  Netanyahu. And by the way, Robert F Kennedy Jr's  

03:35

view is not particularly different than Trump's.  So the best option here, the best option by far,  

03:44

if we're concerned about, circumstances for  Palestinians is Joe Biden by a long shot. Now,  

03:51

Trump pathetically, cries crocodile tears and and  concern trolls about a landmark, I guess in at  

03:59

Columbia University that's been damaged. Where  was this attitude on January 6th? I would ask. 

04:05

Speaker 2: You, because it would have been a  lot easier if they were in intense rather than  

04:08

a building, a tremendous damage done to,  you know, when you look at that building  

04:13

that's a landmark and it's it's really  been damaged badly by these people. Yeah. 

04:18

Speaker 1: Where exactly was that outrage  about damage to buildings on January 6th  

04:24

as thousands of Trump supporters stormed the  US Capitol? Certainly a landmark, certainly,  

04:31

and certainly an important building in American  history. And Trump said nothing like this,  

04:35

nothing like this whatsoever. And then lastly,  a Trump again reminding us it was he who moved  

04:41

the embassy to Jerusalem wanting an attaboy. Speaker 2: So one thing is, is I feel bad for  

04:46

Israel because at a time where you think that  America there there are number one ally. They  

04:53

were with us after nine, 1101. We lost 2977  Americans that day. They lost the equivalent  

05:02

of 40,000 Americans in a single day. And you would  think that you put politics aside and you support  

05:09

their victory in the war on terror. And that would  mean Prime Minister Netanyahu's victory in the  

05:13

war on terror. And you're saying you support  that and hope that they do it quickly? Well,  

05:19

I'm the one that designated, in a sense,  by moving the, embassy back to Jerusalem.  

05:26

Jerusalem becomes the capital that is, you  know, a lot of presidents said they were  

05:30

going to do that. They didn't do it. Speaker 1: Yeah. And of course,  

05:33

moving the embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv did  nothing for anyone of substance. It only inflamed  

05:41

tensions. It was a deliberately provocative move.  It made no sense. And Trump continues to say, me,  

05:48

me, me. I did this and I did. That was supposed  to be a softball interview, was supposed to make  

05:53

Trump look good. Very much the opposite. As Trump  continues to struggle to take words and put them  

06:00

into an order that is coherent in any sense of the  imagination. So let's take a very quick break. We  

06:06

have a lot of very interesting stuff coming up  on the program, and we'll get to it in a moment.
