• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We'll see what Pete kink biels, the amazing former congressman
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Homeland Security, and if you followed Pete King on social
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: media Facebook especially, he does a really good job with
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: his opinions. He's got fun stuff on there too, met
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: stuff and stuff in around Nassau County. But he does
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: a good job on social media opining on these major topics.
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: And for what I've seen Pete King the last couple
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: of days, you wouldn't be all that upset with that
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: word betrayed or am I speaking for you?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wouldn't use betrayed. I think the president is
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: committed to doing the right thing, but I have to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: say I'm right, and I'm very disappointed in this agreement.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I don't know where it leads any ways. It brings
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: back to where we were when the war started, in
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: some cases worse because now we know that a ranch
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: can shut down the straight Mos almost whenever it wants,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: unless we have a way to prevent that from happening.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Today right now, are holding me up a hand which
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: they didn't back on February twenty eighth, and also talking
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: about Israel, which obviously is important, not just for Israel's sake,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: but for our sakes, they are a ally, and the
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: other nations in the Middle East, the Arab states, they
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: will look to see how we treat Israel as to
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: whether or not they should be respectful of Israel. So
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: that's really what A Trump's strong point in the first
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: administration toward Israel was with the Abraham Accords. That show
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the other showed the Arab nations that we were absolutely
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: committed to Israel. Now by at the President said yesterday
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: that Israel should get out of Lebanon as if they
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: want to be there in the first place, and they
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: should stop fighting with Hezbollah in Lebanon because they haven't
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: done a good job, and they should turn it over
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: to Syria. I mean, that looks so bad to send
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: such a wrong signal. And also the fact that he's
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: been so critical of net Yahoo. Listen to me. You
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: can like or this, like Yahoo, but the fact is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: he is the leader of a democracy. He is still
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: with President Trump all the way. And when as you
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: were saying the other today, President's never said a bit
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: worried about Erdihan or gi in China or Mandomini for
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: that matter. We get down the list. And to be
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so personally critical of net Yahoo, a man who has
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: shown tremendous leadership both for Israel and supporting Western values
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: with the United States. So now listen to me. A
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: lot more has to be explained. Maybe there's soon times
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: the savages over the next sixty days. But where it
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: is right now, it's not the position I think anybody
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: expected us to be in back on February twenty eighth
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: to March first.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not only does he not say bad things about
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: those guys, he compliments them. I mean, I'm sick and tired.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of you people. I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: know he's playing chess. That's another comment that's getting tired.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: But I'm sick and tired of hearing him compliment. Compliment
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie. Good guy, great guy, smart guy. Same thing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: with the Iranian regime two days ago. These are wonderful
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: people to deal with. They're smart people. So it'll be
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: one thing if he didn't, you know it, didn't say anything.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: But he goes out of his way to compliment mom.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: But BB's an asshole, and BB's difficult, and BB's this,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and BB's that. Some people say to me in the know, okay,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: that he's doing that because he got really sick and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: tired of hearing his detractors say that this is Bbe's war.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: That you know, the memes of BB walking President Trump
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: on a leash, and this is Trump biting BB in
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Israel's war. And he got sick and tired of hearing that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: So now, in an effort to show everybody that, hey,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you're stupid. No one makes decisions for me, which is true,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: they are stupid, and all makes this in his effort
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: to really pound that home. That's why he's being extra
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: tough on BB.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: What do you think I certainly hope he's not thinking that, because,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: first of all, who are those powerful nations in the world.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He's the most powerful person in the world. Israel was
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: a small country, a valued ally, but no one who
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: knows anything about foreign policy or about world affairs thinks
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: for a moment that the Prime Minister of Israel kiss
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: President what to do. Certainly, not Ronald certainly, not Ronald
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: Reagan before him, Certainly not Donald Trump today. And you
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: can't allow personal feelings or inadequateies. Inadequacy is getting away.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: No, you're right, but you can't you can't do that.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: You're right, but you know President Trump as well as
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I do. That's him right, right a wrong, And come on, that's.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Why I said at the beginning, I'm hoping it's not true. Okay, yeah,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And again one of the reasons I'm a little maybe
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: holding back to what I maybe really feel is that
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the president is the president. He's involved with the very
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: tense negotiations right now. I don't want to be say
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: anything to undermine them more than I have to like
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: to say that. But I mean, no, this is listen,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you have to learn to get along with other leaders.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't mean the enemy. So you got
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: that by World War two, the church Rosel was always
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: fighting with Churchill and to goal, even Reagan and Thatcha
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: had some real serious differences, but you overlook that for
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the greater good. So right now, even if he hated that, now,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: even if you know it was him the worst person
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: in the world, you're staying with him until it's war
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: is over and then yeah, I should stand with him.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So this is to me, it's not showing good leadership,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: it's not showing good statesmanship, and it's losing perspective of
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the big deal. I mean, you know, we can say
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you can say he solved the war between as were
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: John and whoever else it was over there at the time,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: or the fact that he got a Maduro out of Venezuela.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: As you say that side, you know, going in and
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: taking out the borough president of Brooklyn. The fact is
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: no comparison. And also, people like Maduro and others, they're thugs.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: They're there this to make money and enrich themselves and
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: be power hungry. Say what you want about the Molas
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and Iran, they are dedicated fanatics. They're not there for
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the personal glory in the personal game. They are willing
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: to die for what they believe in. I mean, you
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: know what they believe. It is an evil, evil ideology.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: But they are evil people and they are willing to
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: literally fight to the death. And when we talked about
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: the economy suffering and people starving, they don't care if
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they can go forward. That's the price you pay, you know, Taala,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: you do that, You do what you have to do,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: and we have to understand that. That's why I wish
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: we had somebody besides uh Steve Whitcock over there negotiating.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, to me, you need people who understand the
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: full ideology. How evil these people are. It's not a
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: real estate deal, it's not a business deal. This is
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: really dealing with the devil, and you have to have
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: to do that.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, both Witcoff and Jared Kushner have come under fire
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the last couple of days from Republicans.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Forget about Democrats hate everything we do, but even Republicans
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: have been very critical of those two guys. Well, the
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: news today is is that not that long ago President
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Trump spoke and said the deal is not done.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So I don't know. My head's spinning. They're gonna be
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: in Switzerland on Friday. Supposedly we signed the deal. I
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: don't know. People are still waiting the details of this memorandum.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: But now we said today it's not done. And he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: made it very clear yesterday that if they don't comply
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what you're not gonna do, we're gonna bomb them and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: bomb them and bomb them and hit him over the head.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: And you know, again, I love this guy. I love him.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: He showed the balls and courage that no other president did.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But after a while, it's the boy, you cried wolf man.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You keep saying you're gonna do this and do this
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: and do this, and you don't you hurt. My conversation
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with Mike Waller yesterday and even wich Lowry this morning.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: You never should have started this. If you wanted to
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: do this and you don't want people to die, that's honorable.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: You know, my son, who I love to death, he's
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: not serving, So I can't speak on behalf of a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: parent who's got a kid who's serving, and my heart
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: goes out to them. Okay, but if you're going to
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: start a war, you need to finish it. And it
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: seems to me like President Trump wanted to half weigh
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: this thing. He really hoped that Iran would just fold
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: and say, Okay, we give up. It's an unconditional you know, capture.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: They were never going to do that, never, So I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: don't know who planned this thing. It started off really good,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: but it's ending like a big wet fart.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: How about that? You know, the military did everything it
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: had to do. But to me, there's no such thing
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: as an easy war. Even when George Bush Invader Panama.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: George was the first back in nineteen I guess, nineteen
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: eighty nine, nineteen ninety we had tashlebs, we had soldiers
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: tie in that. Every war is tough. You have to
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: assume it's going to be tough. You have to assume
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: well so that whatever your battle plan is, it's not
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: going to work right away. You have to have first, second, third,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: fourth degree battle plans. You have to be ready for
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: everything that might happen, and you have to You don't
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: do it unless you're committed to folk you can. If
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you can't go half ass on a war, Otherwise you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: look bad and it ends up being a loss. Even
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: if it's not, it looks like a loss, and to
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the rest of the world, you lose your prosceige. How
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: do you care about prostige for say, But it means
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: whether or not they're going to respect you, whether they're
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: going to honor you, and you need their troops in
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the future when you need future commitments. And so this
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: to me is it was apparently not well laid out
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: politically and obviously militarily. Do whatever they had to do,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: whatever they were asked to do, they did. They did
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: it to affection, I mean, absolutely great. But you have
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to have the second and third degree plans. You have
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: to know what's going to happen. If they didn't surrender
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: the first day or the second day, if they didn't
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: agree to on conditional surrender the first week. What do
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: we do next and that seems we don't have that
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: and talking about going back to bombing, well, that didn't
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: work to get the ultimate goal. Obviously more will be required,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: I think than the bombing. And also I think we
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: should try to get some allies involved. Why didn't we
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: have the Brits and other NATO countries ready to go
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: in not to the fighting. I mean, he didn't tell
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: her we were going into the war. But if they
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: spoken with them, have their mind sweepers ready so that
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: if the straight of the moves were shut down, they
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: would be there. Listen. I don't expect him to get
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: along with the Europeans. They can be very difficult to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: deal with. The fact is everyone can be used. You
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: can use them where they're helpful. They would have been
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: very helpful here if they just if you played the
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: game a bit with them back. They can't all be macho. Yes,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: not to build coalitions, get them done. After it's over.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You can say what you think of the guy while's
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: going on. You work with them, they work with you.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: Right. The breaking news Trump has the laid Jay Clayton's
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: DNI confirmation that has been delayed. He wants the US
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Attorney General to be accepted confirmed first, So he's saying
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: that Bill Polti will remain in that position, which was
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: occupied not that long ago by Tulcy Gobbert. Of course,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: so Trump is calling off at least for right now.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Clayton his dn I Yes, DNI confirmation. That is a
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: big story unfolding as we speak. Are you upset, Pete
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: that the you know, the real details about this deal
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: are still under wraps till maybe at least Friday.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about something that couldn't decide the future
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: of the Middle East and the Middle East in many ways,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: you're going to determine the future of the United States.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: We're in this and we should know. Listen, if you
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: need to get an organization from congressat will, and I
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: understand why he didn't, the expectator would be quick. But
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: if you're going to sign up any kind of agreement
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that binds the US long term, then the American people
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: should know about it.
