Latest / INSIGHT TODAY / You can't trust ANY OF THEM Sen John Kennedy
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Fireworks today at the UN inside and out. Outside the
- 0:03Speaker 1: General Assembly, Iranian activists protested the regime and demanded an
- 0:08Speaker 1: end to its brutal stay in power. Meanwhile, inside, it
- 0:12Speaker 1: was Iran's president taking aim at America, and the U.S.
- 0:15Speaker 1: delegation wasn't having it.
- 0:18Speaker 2: Yesterday, the United States president described us as terrorists. Those
- 0:24Speaker 2: who are terrorists and train and protect terrorists... Describe us
- 0:30Speaker 2: as such. We have only defended ourselves.
- 0:34Speaker 3: We are not terrorists.
- 0:37Speaker 1: U.S. delegation walking out at the accusation that the United
- 0:40Speaker 1: States is a terrorist. Terrorist. That's a word now thrown
- 0:45Speaker 1: around by both sides. Iran calls us terrorists. We call
- 0:48Speaker 1: them terrorists. As the saying goes, one man's terrorist is
- 0:51Speaker 1: another man's freedom fighter. But what exactly is a terrorist?
- 0:56Speaker 1: I imagine the definition involves the intentionally targeting of civilians.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Who's been doing that, the U.S. or Iran? Critics have
- 1:03Speaker 1: accused the U.S. of intentionally bombing an Iranian school during
- 1:07Speaker 1: the conflict. That's an accusation that the United States has denied.
- 1:11Speaker 1: And while it's impossible to completely quantify, we know that
- 1:14Speaker 1: Iran and its proxies have conducted terror attacks on civilian
- 1:19Speaker 1: targets in Israel and around the world, launching hundreds of
- 1:23Speaker 1: missiles towards Israel indiscriminate, of their intended target, most, thankfully,
- 1:29Speaker 1: shot down. I think one satisfies the definition of terrorism.
- 1:34Speaker 1: But while Iran points the finger at America, Secretary of
- 1:36Speaker 1: State Marco Rubio says Tehran is misreading. Who holds the cards?
- 1:40Speaker 1: And when it comes to Iran's nuclear ambitions, the final
- 1:43Speaker 1: decision belongs to President Trump.
- 1:46Speaker 4: The president has extraordinary powers.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Every president does.
- 1:49Speaker 4: He's the commander in chief, both constitutional and otherwise, to
- 1:52Speaker 4: be able to carry out those functions. So I think
- 1:55Speaker 4: that the Iranians are fundamentally misreading our political system. And
- 1:58Speaker 4: I think the president made it very clear yesterday. For him,
- 2:00Speaker 4: the Iranian issue is not a political issue. Every American
- 2:03Speaker 4: president and, frankly, every country in the world, for the
- 2:06Speaker 4: most part, agrees that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
- 2:09Speaker 4: But ultimately, no one ever does anything about it. And
- 2:12Speaker 4: he's going to do something about it.
- 2:15Speaker 1: Joining me now, Louisiana Republican Senator John Kennedy. Senator, it's
- 2:19Speaker 1: good to have you here on the program. What do
- 2:21Speaker 1: you make of what happened today at the U.N. and
- 2:23Speaker 1: what you think could happen, potentially, with President Trump and
- 2:27Speaker 1: the Iranian delegation?
- 2:28Speaker 4: SEN.
- 2:30Speaker 3: JOHN KENNEDY, I think that the people running Iran are reptiles,
- 2:39Speaker 3: and they're part of a colony of reptiles. China, North Korea, Russia.
- 2:47Speaker 3: And as I said, Iran. The chief reptile, the quarterback,
- 2:54Speaker 3: is President Xi in China. You can't trust any of them.
- 3:01Speaker 3: All four of them are the same. It's like the
- 3:06Speaker 3: same hooker in different dresses. They all lie like timeshare salesmen.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You can't trust them. I wouldn't turn my back on
- 3:18Speaker 3: any of them, even if I thought and knew they
- 3:21Speaker 3: were two days dead. Number two, they're angry, because President
- 3:29Speaker 3: Trump has ripped Iran a new ashtray. You won't see
- 3:36Speaker 3: any articles, and I haven't seen any articles in American
- 3:42Speaker 3: press But we have degraded Iran substantially. And that is
- 3:48Speaker 3: an understatement. They have no air force. They have no
- 3:55Speaker 3: navy anymore. We have destroyed their weapon production plants. We
- 4:01Speaker 3: have destroyed a lot of their missiles, ballistic and cruise.
- 4:06Speaker 3: The country is experiencing 80 percent inflation. They have got
- 4:11Speaker 3: nothing coming in or going out because of the blockade.
- 4:15Speaker 3: It will be decades before Iran ever recovers. The truth is, Will,
- 4:22Speaker 3: in my judgment, we have accomplished all of our goals.
- 4:27Speaker 3: We have also knocked out their air defenses. And our
- 4:32Speaker 3: intelligence is so good, that we will know within minutes
- 4:37Speaker 3: if Iran starts its nuclear program again, if we can
- 4:41Speaker 3: bomb it again. They have no nuclear weapons program. The
- 4:45Speaker 3: only problem in all of this is the Strait of Hormuz.
- 4:50Speaker 3: China could open it tomorrow if it told Iran to.
- 4:53Speaker 3: China is choosing not to. And at some point, the
- 4:57Speaker 3: president is going to have to decide whether having achieved
- 5:02Speaker 3: all of our objectives, it's time to come home and
- 5:07Speaker 3: let China and Russia and North Korea and Europe and
- 5:11Speaker 3: all the other countries that refuse to help take a
- 5:14Speaker 3: crack at it, because they're going to pay the price
- 5:18Speaker 3: of a closed strait even more than America. That's what
- 5:22Speaker 3: I think. And look, I think these are all objective facts.
- 5:27Speaker 3: I didn't pull these out of my rear end, even
- 5:30Speaker 3: though I do my best thinking there. All you've got
- 5:33Speaker 3: to do is look at the facts and you can
- 5:35Speaker 3: see what I'm saying is the truth.
- 5:38Speaker 1: All right. Sounds like the focus then, whether or not
- 5:39Speaker 1: they are reptiles, should be the focus on China. Before
- 5:43Speaker 1: we go, though, I do want to ask you about
- 5:44Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary hearing today on women's sports. Kim Jones,
- 5:48Speaker 1: who is the founder of ICONS, says the idea that men,
- 5:52Speaker 1: even men masquerading as women, Going into the women's locker
- 5:56Speaker 1: room is the equivalent of sexual harassment. Watch.
- 6:00Speaker 2: The threat of a man being in the locker room
- 6:03Speaker 2: is terrorizing for women being undressed in front of a
- 6:07Speaker 2: male who's obfuscating or hiding their sex in order to
- 6:11Speaker 2: gain access to women's spaces.
- 6:13Speaker 3: And it is, I.
- 6:15Speaker 2: Mean, there's no other way to explain it other than
- 6:18Speaker 2: it's just, it's scarring. It is the equivalent of sexual
- 6:21Speaker 2: abuse and sexual harassment. It is voyeurism.
- 6:26Speaker 1: What do you think, Senator?
- 6:27Speaker 3: She's right. I don't mean to hurt anybody who has
- 6:32Speaker 3: gender dysphoria or thinks they have gender dysphoria, but we've
- 6:37Speaker 3: got hundreds of women out there, thousands of women out
- 6:42Speaker 3: there that are having to compete still with hundreds of
- 6:47Speaker 3: biological males who say they're transgender females. And it is
- 6:52Speaker 3: still a problem, even though they're quiet about it, The
- 6:57Speaker 3: Hamas wing, the Lulu Lennon wing of the Democratic Party,
- 7:02Speaker 3: the wing that wears the bin Laden jerseys, they're all
- 7:07Speaker 3: promoting it as hard as they can. And if they
- 7:09Speaker 3: get control, they'll come out of hiding and openly promote
- 7:14Speaker 3: it once again.
- 7:16Speaker 1: All right, Senator John Kennedy, it's always good to hear
- 7:19Speaker 1: from you. Thank you.
