Victoria Coates | Former Deputy National Security Advisor & Heritage Foundation VP Unpacks Netanyahu-Trump White House Sit-Down · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let me get to Victoria coach the Heritage Foundation. Victoria
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: heard BB right there with me a couple of weeks ago.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: He was with President Trump yesterday the Lindsey Graham funeral.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Then they had a meeting. Trump once again showed his dominance,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: yelling at BB, don't tell me about Pickot's mouth. And
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I knew all about it already. I got great cameras,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. I actually think that'd be new first.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: That's just my opinion. Either way, everything I heard, including
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: a message personally from David Menzer and doctor Orpio Ponk,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was that the meeting went great between BB and Trump
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and everything is better than fine.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: What do you think, is Victoria there? Victoria? Oh?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Sorry that there you go. I was contending with the
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: coach's family dogs and I didn't interrupt. Yeah, no, I mean, amazingly,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the breathless report in Acts is that a diminished net
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Nyaho had had annoyed the President and the meeting was
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: going to be content and there is friction and there's daylight.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: It turned out not to be true. Once again. I mean,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: having track this relationship for now eight and a half
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: years or whatever it's been, this happens every single time,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and I guess it's clickbait, and so they keep publishing
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: it and it turns out not to be true. Because
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: the President and the Prime Minister, yes, our big personalities.
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: You've been in the room with both of them, you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: and they both have very serious jobs. And what's more,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: they're both in an election cycle, and so you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: sure there are going to be some points of disagreement,
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: as the Prime Minister said, and as the President said,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and you know sometimes they're going to do things for
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: political reasons that will sort of annoy the other one,
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: but it doesn't in any way threaten the bedrock of
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: that relationship and the seriousness with which they take each
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: other and with which they care for the alliance between
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: our two countries, because they know it keeps us all safe.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: And you were sitting in that room with me, who
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: are sitting together. You put on a great speech actually
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: in Jerusalem less than a month ago, when BB told
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: us just what you heard yesterday, that him and Trumpet
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: great and they get along great. But like you said,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: those are two very big personalities. And you mentioned election,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and BB, I believe the election is going to be
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: in November he's won five of the last six. Despite
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: when you speak to the BB detractors, they talk about
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: his immense unpopularity in Israel and in New York and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: around the club. Yet he keeps winning all these elections.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Somebody running against Bbe one of these losers, actually came
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: out yesterday and said that Israel kills babies as a hobby.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: This is somebody running for office in Israel.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: They want to beat BB so badly that they're willing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to disparage the country's government.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I found that to be disgusting.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, see, that doesn't really seem like a winning platform
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: to me, to to state that the people who suffered
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: through October seventh, who have done the just terrible work
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: of rebuilding the country after that that evil, evil day,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: that they that they're killing babies as a hobby. No,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: guess who does that. That's Hamas. And I don't think
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Hamas is going to get elected by the populace of Israel.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: So they said, not a winning message. You know, as
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I understand it. We have a couple of visiting fellows
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: resident in Jerusalem for Heritage to keep us up to
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: speed on the kind of the nitty gritty of politics.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: There and uh, they're they're telling me that that it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: not even close for Mkud leadership, that that it will
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: be Uh that Yahoo, that the sort of number two
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: in Lakud is a mere fear. The speaker of the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Kinnesset is a terrific guy, guys, and you know it
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: might be a future leader, but that that right now,
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: it really does look like the only person who's going
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: to be able to put the government together is that Yahoo.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And I for one certainly would not that against him.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, either, I'm endorsing him enthusiastically.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: He needs to win.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Fact, I'm gonna make it my mission to fly Israeli's
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from New York to Israel so they can vote. I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: don't think New Yorker has even realizes if you're Israeli
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and you're in New York, you can fly back to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Israel and vote with.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Bbe, can't you?
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Absolutely? I mean your dual citizen, that's what you can do.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: The whole that's the whole point.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: They need to do it. They need to make sure
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: this man wins. It's been unbelievable he's done the last
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: couple of years since that tragic, tragic day. So where
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: are we Victoria in this Idon situation, another US and
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia together beat up Iran a bit in Iraq,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of all places in Iraq, yesterday seems like it's another
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: seaz fire.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I don't like these.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You know that I'm on record saying that I want
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: President Trump to finish the job that bothers people like
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: General Michael Flynn and Alex Jones and Joe Kent, these losers.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: But I feel that way about that way since the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: very very beginning. But how do you feel about where
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: we are right now about this conflict?
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I think starting with the action with the
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: United States in Saudi Arabia, this is really important. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: this is what we're going to be talking about in
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: New Year. Said, I don't think we're going to be
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: talking about the Iranian regime anymore, because I don't think
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: they can fix the problems that they have. But I
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: think we're going to be talking about a new Middle East.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: And we've had Kuwait and Bahrain take independent strikes against Iran.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: We've had UAE take independent action against Iran. We are
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: essentially using Jordan as a large military base at this point.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: I met with their essentially the chairman of their Joint
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: chiefs when he was in Washington last week, and they've
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: said they're open to everything the United States wants to do,
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: bigger bases. And then last night we had the Saudis
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and the United States together do strikes on Iraq, which
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: means the new Prime Minister of Iraq signed off on that.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: It means he doesn't want his country run by these
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: SA militias anymore. It means the Saudis are sick of
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: having their energy infrastructure meant menaced by the than malicious
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: and they're going to do something about it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: So this is.
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Everybody out lining up with the Americans and the Israelis
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: and against the Iranians. That's a huge development. So I
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: think this can be a very effective tool that we
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: can use to leverage all of the arms we've sold
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the Saudis, all the training we've done for them at
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Pensacola and other places to get after these enemies. And
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: it's not just the Shia militias. I think it's also
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: going to bed the Huti and Yemen founderies aren't very
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: fond of them either, so very good news along those lines.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: You guys are doing great work at the Heritage Foundation
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Victoria Coach with this story, I'm going to read two paragraphs.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Newly released audio tapes discovered by a conservative activist group
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: appear at the show Joe Biden sharing classified information with
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the biographer and sometimes Biographrice should Say, and sometimes claiming
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: memory lapses during interviews that occurred before his election to
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the presidency. In twenty twenty, about three hours of audio
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and one hundred and seventeen pages of transcripts with many
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: redactions were released by the Oversight Project in arm of
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: your group, the Heritage Foundation. Ifter Biden lost a prolonged
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: legal fight to keep his conversations with his memoir ghostwriter
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Mark Lewis Swantitzer private. So, as it turns out, Joe Biden,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the former president, the cadaver himself, was sharing a whole
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: bunch of very very secret information with a ghostwriter.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: That's terrible.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's absolutely outrageous. And when fair in mind, this
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: has been the administration under Biden that rated President Trump's
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: ruined apartment or whatever it is in Marilando for what
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: they claimed was classified in for me, oh my god.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And worse than that, they went into Malania's underwear draw
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: They were disgusting and cut me wrong doing this audio stuff.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Biden said he had no idea.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: He walked downstairs and oh my god, here are some
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: more plans to fight documents, right, And they.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Were in a box beside his corvette. And I mean
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: he had not been president at that point, he did
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: not have the classifying authority. And Mike Howell and his
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: group at Oversight are just a national treasure for us.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: They've been working so hard to get this information out there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: All the Democrats just keep fing out it's in the past.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: We resolve that it's not a problem anywhere. No people
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: have to be held accountable because they don't act normally
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: in terms of politics. They just switch people out at will.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: They don't follow the rules of democracy, and they'll shove
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: somebody like Biden who was incompetent before the election. That's
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: what this proves is the twenty twenty election was fraudulent
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: because the candidate wasn't competent. And that is just such
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: an outrage. And we can't let it just pass because
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: they'll do it again. And you know, today it's Biden,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: tomorrow it's Graham Platner. You know, you pick your out
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: of the alphabet soup of just wildly incompetent people they're
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: trying to have governed us. And so all kudos to Mike.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: This is this is really important information, and we are
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: enormously proud of Project Oversight.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you're doing it.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You know. Look, a lot of people make excuses for Biden,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: even my own friends on this station and hosts and
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: popular people. He didn't know what he was doing. Stop it,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: stop it. Yes, there was an element of that. There's
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: no question that Joe Biden had his cognitive issues.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: But to completely say, you know, to say that, no, no, no, no,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you can't blame him, that's nonsense. He did a lot
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of stuff. He knew When he sits there and goes
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: that son of a bitch talking about the lawyer in Ukraine,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: you knew what he was talking about. He knew what
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: money he was getting, and Hunter in all those in
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: all those cases that Miranda de Baier will join me
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: later made popular, and Rudy Giuliani and the computer and
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. So the idea that Joe Biden was just,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: you know, completely out of it and had no idea
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: what he was doing his whole presidency, and before I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: rejected that notion.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Sorry, now I did too. And even if you do
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: grant them that, then who did know what was going on?
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: Obviously doctor Jill had to know what was happening, and
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: she facilitated it and aid it in a bed, it
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: for her own personal power and for her money. And
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: one thing I do think it's funny this is Biden
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: is coming out with yet another book that's coming out
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: right around the election, So hopefully it'll be a repeat
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: of Jill's disastrous book rollout, and right around the election
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: we're going to be talking about how incredibly bizarre Biden's
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: behavior is, how incompetent he was in Gee, do we
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: really want to hand the keys back to the Democrats?
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: That's a great point. God, that's going to help us
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: big time.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Victoria has always amazing work, Israel, Joe Biden, Iran, all
• 10:52
