00:00:01.602 --> 00:00:03.044
Those are the drums of liberty.
00:00:03.044 --> 00:00:12.375
Those drums are being overrun by the worst presidency in modern American history, perhaps all of American history.
00:00:12.375 --> 00:00:15.523
We talked about it earlier this week in part one.
00:00:15.523 --> 00:00:25.775
Let's talk about some more reason why this presidency is becoming the worst in part two of this Liberty Minute.
00:00:27.481 --> 00:00:40.667
Welcome to the Theory to Action podcast, where we examine the timeless treasures of wisdom from the great books in less time, to help you take action immediately and ultimately to create and lead a flourishing life.
00:00:40.667 --> 00:00:44.750
Now here's your host, David Kaiser.
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.643
Hello, I am David and welcome back to another Liberty Minute.
00:00:49.643 --> 00:01:13.576
Earlier this week we talked about how bad this administration is in part, one of the worst president in all of American history and in that Liberty Minute we covered just two of the main reasons why Joe Biden will try and I emphasize the word try to make an appeal as to why he should be reelected.
00:01:13.576 --> 00:01:28.471
We even tried to help make the case for Uncle Joe with student loan forgiveness that could help him win reelection, but unfortunately the Supreme Court smacked him down on that.
00:01:28.471 --> 00:01:28.671
One.
00:01:28.671 --> 00:01:38.930
Six to three Wasn't even the usual five to four decision which we've come to expect out of the John Roberts-led court.
00:01:38.930 --> 00:01:43.731
John Roberts always the institutionalist over there at the Supreme Court.
00:01:43.731 --> 00:01:49.331
He will preserve the Supreme Court as the country burns down.
00:01:51.421 --> 00:02:16.054
Then we tried to help Uncle Joe by saying America's rescue plan that was passed way back in 2021 to the tune of $1.9 trillion with a T, but unfortunately we resolved that wouldn't work to get him re-elected because there's very little evidence that any of that crazy amount of spending actually actually helped.
00:02:16.054 --> 00:02:23.379
Very little did very little helped americans get back to work after the pandemic.
00:02:23.379 --> 00:02:26.593
In fact, there's actually many studies out showing that the crazy amount of spending.
00:02:26.593 --> 00:02:28.120
Very little helped Americans get back to work after the pandemic.
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:40.731
In fact, there's actually many studies out showing that the crazy amount of spending actually slowed down the country, contributed to unemployment throughout the country, allowing for workers to remain home for very prolonged times.
00:02:40.731 --> 00:02:43.567
So it really didn't help anything.
00:02:43.567 --> 00:02:48.861
Most especially didn't help in the years 2022 and 2023.
00:02:48.861 --> 00:02:52.430
But here's an early nugget of wisdom.
00:02:52.430 --> 00:02:57.580
What usually happens when government spends crazy amounts of money?
00:02:57.580 --> 00:03:08.415
Very quickly we get inflation, that dreaded word, that dreaded word, that dreaded word from the 70s and 80s well, the early 80s, that is.
00:03:08.415 --> 00:03:12.191
So we get inflation and that's exactly what we got.
00:03:12.191 --> 00:03:14.519
That's what we're having now.
00:03:14.519 --> 00:03:20.943
We actually covered inflation in more detail with a great book by steve forbes which goes by the same name inflation.
00:03:20.943 --> 00:03:31.225
So please check out liberty, minute number seven, liberty, minute number seven inflation uh, the golden yardstick.
00:03:33.008 --> 00:03:36.480
Now our second point that we tried to help out joe biden in his reelection effort.
00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:45.314
We said he could tout, possibly he could tout infrastructure investment, the Infrastructure Investment Act of 2021.
00:03:45.314 --> 00:04:00.013
Uncle Joe could be out there talking about infrastructure here and there and everywhere, like FDR in the 1930s and the US Congress was supposed to spend $1.2 trillion.
00:04:00.013 --> 00:04:02.846
That's trillion with a T again.
00:04:02.846 --> 00:04:14.514
But instead, once the GOP got ahold of it, it ballooned up to 2.65 trillion, again with a T 2.65 trillion.
00:04:14.514 --> 00:04:24.350
So uncle Joe could be out there talking about trains, planes and automobiles and how the GOP helped him and it was a bipartisan effort, and blah, blah, blah, blah blah.
00:04:24.350 --> 00:04:32.545
So he could be out there talking about trains, planes and automobiles but wait, that's a name of a movie.
00:04:32.545 --> 00:04:39.084
But hey, joe Biden could say hey, that was, uh, that's my Joe Biden moment.
00:04:39.084 --> 00:04:46.411
You have to give me, you have to give me some space here so he could even use that phrase Trains, planes and automobiles.
00:04:46.411 --> 00:04:48.303
Guys, no joke.
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.309
But seriously, we could and we did ask the question last time are roads, bridges, public transit, broadband internet expansion coming along at record rates in our country?
00:05:07.309 --> 00:05:09.975
Have we seen vast swaths of our nation's infrastructure improved greatly?
00:05:09.975 --> 00:05:15.605
Well, not so much, and there's a reason for that.
00:05:15.605 --> 00:05:27.071
Last time we shared this crazy quote that comes to us from, of all places, cnn you know that bastion of right-wing media coverage down there in atlanta.
00:05:27.071 --> 00:06:01.800
Cnn said of this specific bill, this specific bill, this, if we include the aforementioned 235 billion in additional funding for transportation infrastructure, plus the $126 billion for building housing units, the $112 billion to build public schools and improve community college facilities, then the $111 billion for water infrastructure and the $100 billion for digital infrastructure.
00:06:01.800 --> 00:06:03.468
And stay with me the $100 billion for digital infrastructure.
00:06:03.468 --> 00:06:06.019
And stay with me the 100 billion for power infrastructure.
00:06:06.019 --> 00:06:17.815
That all accounts for about 30% of the 2.65 trillion plan as announced by the White House.
00:06:17.815 --> 00:06:20.702
Holy smokes, smokes.
00:06:20.702 --> 00:06:26.853
It accounts for just 30 percent of the 2.65 trillion.
00:06:26.853 --> 00:06:35.420
With at funding plan announced by the white house, just 30 percent is going towards actual infrastructure.
00:06:35.420 --> 00:06:40.161
Barack, hey man, hold my beer.
00:06:40.161 --> 00:06:53.459
I spent more money than you, faster than you, with no results and only a rapid rise in inflation.
00:06:53.459 --> 00:06:54.689
So, brock, hold my beer.
00:06:56.105 --> 00:07:07.353
So that's just a quick summary of what we talked about in part one, but let's continue with just three other reasons why Joe Biden will try to make the case to the American people that he should be reelected.
00:07:07.353 --> 00:07:17.617
But in fact, he is actually quickly becoming the worst president in US history, even beating out James Buchanan for the top spot.
00:07:17.617 --> 00:07:21.872
You might think I'm joking, but allow me to explain.
00:07:21.872 --> 00:07:31.038
The number three reason Joe Biden will try to run for reelection is saying hey, man, I ended the war in Afghanistan.
00:07:31.038 --> 00:07:34.233
I ended the war in Afghanistan.
00:07:34.233 --> 00:07:39.276
I can't believe the administration is going to try and make this claim, but they're starting.
00:07:39.276 --> 00:07:53.399
It's beyond ludicrous that he would even try to bring up this subject and allow Americans to remember the absolute debacle that was and has been his administration in all areas of foreign policy.
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.810
It's beyond indefensible.
00:07:54.810 --> 00:08:03.038
Just some quick facts about the whole charade that we've covered in numerous podcast episodes from this microphone.
00:08:03.038 --> 00:08:11.418
Thirteen US service members did not have to die at the hands of this president because of his incompetence.
00:08:12.225 --> 00:08:15.031
The withdrawal was very rushed and chaotic.
00:08:15.031 --> 00:08:18.038
There's numerous books to talk about this.
00:08:18.038 --> 00:08:35.517
A withdrawal could have been conducted much better, more effectively, without giving up billions, billions, with a B of dollars of hardware to America's enemies and leaving behind a state of the art military base in Bagram, for which now the Chinese have taken it over.
00:08:35.517 --> 00:08:38.914
They actually took it over in less than three months after leaving.
00:08:38.914 --> 00:08:45.017
Afghanistan is now once again a breeding ground for terrorism.
00:08:45.017 --> 00:08:49.095
So we didn't learn anything after 20 years of trying to win that war.
00:08:49.095 --> 00:08:53.144
So we didn't learn anything after 20 years of trying to win that war.
00:08:56.965 --> 00:09:08.250
Joe Biden has created a situation where America's reputation with its allies has suffered greatly, despite all of his back slapping, all of his attaboys, all of his apologizing for everything America has ever done or didn't do.
00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:28.275
America has ever done or didn't do since the abrupt pullout with our even our closest allies, the Brits and the Canadians, who, during the pullout, was so shocked very shocked about how quickly it happened, that they're not even sure if they can trust the United States.
00:09:28.275 --> 00:09:30.725
That's how bad the reputation has gotten with our allies.
00:09:30.725 --> 00:09:39.139
So Joe Biden can say hey Brock, hey man, hold my beer, in fact James Buchanan.
00:09:39.139 --> 00:09:43.614
He can even say that to James Buchanan hold my beer, man, I'm Joe Biden.
00:09:43.614 --> 00:09:59.692
I can ruin more things faster in just one area of foreign policy than both of you combined, because I've never been right on any foreign policy decision since I ever even came to Washington DC in 1972.
00:09:59.692 --> 00:10:03.426
So hold my beer Now.
00:10:03.466 --> 00:10:14.111
The number four reason Joe Biden is going to try and win reelection is he's going to come out and say we've set ambitious goals for reducing carbon emissions.
00:10:14.111 --> 00:10:20.440
We're aiming for a 50% reduction from the 2005 levels by 2030.
00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:33.504
And we have greatly accelerated and expanded renewable energy sources, moving away from the reliance on those dreaded fossil fuels.
00:10:33.504 --> 00:10:46.408
I mean, I did my best to get through that talking point without laughing, because that is pure rubbish right there by any measure in the energy world.
00:10:46.408 --> 00:10:53.125
Everyone knows this policy is not going to be close to being solvent or workable.
00:10:53.125 --> 00:11:00.799
This was a complete gift to the radical Democrats with their green energy agenda.
00:11:02.086 --> 00:11:04.028
Let's set the record straight with some facts.
00:11:04.028 --> 00:11:08.695
Gasoline has risen by 48% because of this administration.
00:11:08.695 --> 00:11:11.719
You can't blame that on anything else.
00:11:11.719 --> 00:11:15.369
That's just bad, horrific energy policy.
00:11:15.369 --> 00:11:20.678
And because of bad energy policies, everything else has been affected.
00:11:20.678 --> 00:11:23.208
Food inflation up 25.8%.
00:11:23.208 --> 00:11:30.363
To make that real, you pay $100 in 2020 for those groceries and now you're paying 125 dollars.
00:11:30.363 --> 00:11:34.791
That's the highest rate of inflation since 1982.
00:11:34.791 --> 00:11:48.815
Health care costs rising rapidly, more than at any time in the last decade, jumping from 5.4 to 8.5 percent in 2024 reports that comes to us from Reuters.
00:11:48.815 --> 00:11:49.716
Why?
00:11:49.716 --> 00:11:57.895
Well, due to medical inflation, soaring demand for weight loss drugs and wider availability of high price gene therapies.
00:11:57.895 --> 00:12:05.719
Huh, what are the average employees at most companies taking these medications?
00:12:05.719 --> 00:12:11.573
Is there a whole rush of people going out and getting gene therapies?
00:12:11.573 --> 00:12:13.658
Evidently so.
00:12:13.658 --> 00:12:19.898
It's a crazy, crazy world, but that is the world our leaders have created for us.
00:12:19.898 --> 00:12:26.596
Joe Biden's reckless spending will ensure we have inflation around to stay.
00:12:26.817 --> 00:12:28.066
But let's get back to energy.
00:12:28.066 --> 00:12:40.909
Just one legitimate question on this what happened to the Keystone Pipeline, because this is, in its essence, a microcosm, a nutshell of how bad this administration is.
00:12:40.909 --> 00:12:52.225
Weren't we supposed to bring in some 830,000 barrels per day from Alberta, canada, to Nebraska and then down to the Gulf of Mexico for shipping?
00:12:52.225 --> 00:13:02.568
Best reports back then was that it would contribute about 3.4 billion to our country's gross domestic product.
00:13:02.568 --> 00:13:03.392
So what happened?
00:13:03.392 --> 00:13:08.249
Joe Biden promptly canceled the Keystone pipeline on day one of his presidency.
00:13:08.249 --> 00:13:10.114
He did it by executive action.
00:13:10.114 --> 00:13:20.765
What's the ramification of that cancellation?
00:13:20.785 --> 00:13:28.436
Now, in 2024, tmx is the new company in Canada and it is shipping the same oil west, not south, but west to the Pacific Ocean, but west to the Pacific Ocean.
00:13:28.436 --> 00:13:29.397
For who to pick up?
00:13:29.397 --> 00:13:30.437
Which country?
00:13:30.437 --> 00:13:31.940
China.
00:13:31.940 --> 00:13:35.349
Way to go, joe.
00:13:35.349 --> 00:13:43.577
Here's the news article from Reuters Certainly not a right-wing news site.
00:13:43.577 --> 00:14:04.115
Tmx also will make Canadian crude quote re-exports from the Gulf Coast less viable, squashing a trend that has gained momentum in recent years and increasing shipments of Canadian oil to China, said Matt Smith, lead oil analyst for Americas at Kepler.
00:14:04.115 --> 00:14:33.522
100,000 barrels per day of Canadian crude has been re-exported from the US Gulf Coast, up from some 73,000 barrels per day in 2019, kepler data showed China is currently the leading destination for these Canadian re-exports taking in some now 194,000 barrels per day.
00:14:33.522 --> 00:14:44.758
In August, heavy Canadian crude will still make it to the US Gulf to be used in refineries there, smith added, and the region could see an uptick in Latin American crude being displaced from the US West Coast crude by TMX barrels.
00:14:44.758 --> 00:14:48.571
So way to go, joe.
00:14:48.571 --> 00:14:51.402
So way to go, joe.
00:14:51.402 --> 00:15:09.924
You're now allowing China to get more oil per day to the tune of 194,000 barrels per day as of August of this past year, in 2023.
00:15:14.384 --> 00:15:15.488
So, barack, wait, wait, wait, change that.
00:15:15.488 --> 00:15:16.730
Let's say james buchanan, hold my beer man.
00:15:16.730 --> 00:15:17.471
Hold my beer, because I'm joe biden.
00:15:17.471 --> 00:15:20.077
I can ruin an energy sector faster than you can.
00:15:20.077 --> 00:15:29.852
Yes, even when back in our country, when it was only driven by coal and steam, I can still ruin it faster than you can.
00:15:29.852 --> 00:15:38.970
Hey, james, I know you're our number 15th president of the United States, but you were only bad because you didn't do anything for four years leading up to the civil war.
00:15:38.970 --> 00:15:42.538
I'm actively doing things to hurt my country.
00:15:42.538 --> 00:15:48.812
I'm literally giving oil to the Chinese, no joke.
00:15:48.812 --> 00:15:51.615
So hold my beer, man.
00:15:52.937 --> 00:16:03.830
And finally, our fifth reason Joe Biden will try to make the case to the American public that he should be reelected, is he's going to say I've been rebuilding alliances all around the world.
00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:19.524
Uncle Joe Biden will say he has made considerable efforts to restore and strengthen alliances with key global partners, including NATO and the European Union, which had experienced strains under the previous administration.
00:16:19.524 --> 00:16:40.581
His approach to foreign policy emphasizes diplomacy and multilateral cooperation, and this administration couples that with just saying last week we will halt, halt any weapon sales to Israel, because we need balance and diplomacy in the region.
00:16:40.581 --> 00:16:44.554
Hey Barack, hold my beer.
00:16:44.554 --> 00:16:46.326
James Cannon, hold my beer.
00:16:46.326 --> 00:16:58.625
I can be the worst ally to Israel and conduct the most anti-Israel policies since the Jewish state came into being in 1941.
00:16:58.625 --> 00:17:02.056
Or 1948, rather 1948.
00:17:02.056 --> 00:17:21.846
You say no way, oh way, oh, sir, yes, sir, that has been terrible.
00:17:21.846 --> 00:17:22.026
In fact.
00:17:22.026 --> 00:17:23.548
Let's dig in to this and forget about James Buchanan for this discussion.
00:17:23.548 --> 00:17:25.111
Foreign policy at the time, during his administration, wasn't that important.
00:17:25.111 --> 00:17:45.397
The last 75 years I'll run through a brief overview of just some administrations both Democrat and Republican, to be fair since 1948 that have experienced notable tensions with Israel and which could be perceived as being anti-Israel, and then we will compare them.
00:17:45.397 --> 00:17:49.459
We'll compare them to what Uncle Joe is doing in his first four years.
00:17:49.459 --> 00:17:52.948
Let's go through them one by one and provide details.
00:17:54.912 --> 00:17:58.356
Eisenhower administration 1953 to 1961.
00:17:58.356 --> 00:18:02.789
We have the Suez crisis in 1956.
00:18:02.789 --> 00:18:08.788
The Eisenhower administration pressured Israel Eisenhower was a Republican if you didn't know.
00:18:08.788 --> 00:18:11.402
And during the Suez crisis, the Eisenhower administration pressured Israel Eisenhower was a Republican, if you didn't know.
00:18:11.402 --> 00:18:25.867
And during the Suez crisis, the Eisenhower administration pressured Israel, along with the United Kingdom and France, to withdraw from Egyptian territory following the Suez crisis, marking a significant moment of US-Israeli tension.
00:18:25.867 --> 00:18:32.605
Now, most likely that was a mistake on behalf of US foreign policy, but we can understand.
00:18:32.605 --> 00:18:36.173
President Eisenhower had to make a tough call.
00:18:36.173 --> 00:18:38.699
Hard call, that's understandable.
00:18:38.699 --> 00:18:43.894
We don't agree with it, but we can understand the methodology behind the decision.
00:18:44.656 --> 00:18:51.355
Fast forward to the Carter administration 1967 to 1981, peace process pressure.
00:18:51.355 --> 00:18:59.887
President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, played a pivotal role in the Camp David Accords which led to the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
00:18:59.887 --> 00:19:20.671
Now, while this was a significant achievement for peace, carter absolutely pressured Israel to make tons of concessions, some very, very tough and certainly not friendly.
00:19:20.671 --> 00:19:25.400
So this was another mistake, most likely on behalf of US foreign policy.
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:31.146
But President Carter wanted to get a peace deal done and he did.
00:19:31.146 --> 00:19:45.371
Camp David Accords were signed into, ratified in terms of treaty as a treaty.
00:19:45.371 --> 00:19:52.354
George H W Bush administration 1989 to 1993.
00:19:52.354 --> 00:19:56.934
Correction, so we have the loan guarantees dispute.
00:19:56.934 --> 00:20:11.200
The administration had a public dispute with Israel over settlement policies in the occupied territories, leading to a delay in US loan guarantees to Israel, which could be seen as a significant moment of tension.
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:16.501
Now, most likely, this again it was a mistake on behalf of UN, u S foreign policy.
00:20:16.501 --> 00:20:19.122
But we can understand.
00:20:19.122 --> 00:20:23.644
Again, bush 41, having to make a tough call on that foreign policy decision.
00:20:23.644 --> 00:20:28.626
It's kind of understandable.
00:20:28.626 --> 00:20:29.809
Again, we don't agree with it, but we understand it.
00:20:29.829 --> 00:20:32.537
The Obama administration 2009-2017.
00:20:32.537 --> 00:20:36.976
The Iran nuclear deal and its settlements.
00:20:36.976 --> 00:20:43.478
The Obama administration negotiated the Iran nuclear deal, the JCPOA.
00:20:43.478 --> 00:20:50.438
It was viewed by the Israeli government as a threat to its security, and rightly so.
00:20:50.438 --> 00:21:10.476
Additionally, tensions were exacerbated by many disagreements over Israeli settlement expansion, culminating in the US abstaining from a UN Security Council resolution this was terrible Condemning Israeli settlements in December of 2016.
00:21:10.476 --> 00:21:12.731
It was a horrific deal.
00:21:12.731 --> 00:21:20.315
The Iran nuclear deal was horrific, worst deal in the history of the US presidency towards Israel.
00:21:20.315 --> 00:21:26.289
But wait, hey Barack Obama, hey man, hold my beer.
00:21:26.289 --> 00:21:27.193
I'm Joe Biden.
00:21:27.193 --> 00:21:29.250
I can trump you.
00:21:29.250 --> 00:21:55.516
I will be the worst president to Israel because, just after Israel's version of nine 11 on October 7th 2023, joe Biden says I'm not going to sell you any more weapons After their 9-11.
00:21:55.516 --> 00:22:00.368
We're not even a year removed from their 9-11.
00:22:00.388 --> 00:22:03.472
Hamas attacked Israel on October 7th 2023.
00:22:03.753 --> 00:22:06.858
It was Israel's 9-11.
00:22:07.078 --> 00:22:07.839
Their 9-11.
00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:17.121
Think about that Now.
00:22:17.121 --> 00:22:18.164
Why do I say this?
00:22:18.164 --> 00:22:30.622
Because the scale and shock and impact of the attack of Hamas on Israeli society on October 7th 2023, draws tons of parallels, so many parallels, to the September 11th 2023.
00:22:30.622 --> 00:22:37.472
Draws tons of parallels, so many parallels, to the September 11th 2001 attack, terrorist attack on the United States.
00:22:37.472 --> 00:22:41.172
Just think about this.
00:22:41.172 --> 00:23:04.178
The October 7th attack by Hamas resulted in the deaths of over 1,300 Israelis which, given Israel's smaller population, is proportionally much, much higher than the nearly 3000 deaths in the nine 11 attacks in the U?
00:23:04.178 --> 00:23:04.358
S.
00:23:04.358 --> 00:23:14.200
This has been likened to the equivalent of nearly 40,000 deaths in the United States.
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:22.114
To put it in comparison 40,000 deaths, that's a staggering amount of people.
00:23:24.307 --> 00:23:54.375
The attack itself involved a combination of rocket fire, infiltration by land, sea and air the taking of rocket fire, infiltration by land, sea and air, the taking of hostages, which added to the complexity and the horror of the event, which is very similar to the shock of evil that we experienced on 9-11 here in the United States, someone thinking of hijacking airplanes, commercial airliners and flying them into skyscrapers to knock them down.
00:23:54.375 --> 00:23:57.011
The mind of evil knows no limit.
00:23:57.011 --> 00:23:58.096
It's disgusting.
00:23:58.096 --> 00:24:02.855
Now think about the context of those events.
00:24:02.855 --> 00:24:08.568
Both events caused profound national trauma, the sense of vulnerability In Israel.
00:24:08.568 --> 00:24:16.884
The attack was a significant intelligence and defense failure, similar to the surprise and shock experience in the United States on 9-11.
00:24:16.884 --> 00:24:22.037
The psychological impact on the Israeli population has been immense.
00:24:22.037 --> 00:24:26.596
Almost every family has been affected, either directly or indirectly.
00:24:30.087 --> 00:24:31.973
Now think about the responses from leadership.
00:24:31.973 --> 00:24:45.036
Israeli government, led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, vowed to destroy Hamas, drawing parallels to the US response to al-Qaeda post-9-11 by President Bush in 2001.
00:24:45.036 --> 00:24:52.849
The attack has led to a significant military response from Israel, and rightly so.
00:24:52.849 --> 00:25:01.960
Extensive bombing campaigns in Gaza have been compared to the US military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
00:25:01.960 --> 00:25:18.157
So for Joe Biden to discount and play games with the Israeli people and government during this most difficult time, it's just unthinkable.
00:25:18.157 --> 00:25:26.452
If our friends and allies played games with us during our first year after 9-11, just think about how we would react.
00:25:26.452 --> 00:25:32.252
Would we understand where the Israeli population is coming from?
00:25:32.252 --> 00:25:34.641
It's their 9-11.
00:25:34.641 --> 00:25:46.228
The profound shock and national trauma experienced by Israeli families is absolutely lost on the American public because Joe Biden doesn't recognize it.
00:25:46.228 --> 00:25:52.522
Furthermore, israel's 9-11 just happened.
00:25:53.104 --> 00:25:56.827
Like I said less than a year ago, and now Joe Biden is playing funny business.
00:25:56.827 --> 00:26:01.960
I said less than a year ago, and now Joe Biden is playing funny business.
00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:10.951
Joe Biden saying hold my beer, my beer, brock, I can withhold vital weapons to Israelis less than a year after their nine 11 moment.
00:26:10.951 --> 00:26:21.881
In fact, after months of Democrats and Biden himself hammering the GOP to give money to our allies abroad, we must give, have to give them money.
00:26:21.881 --> 00:26:23.365
Ukraine and Israel.
00:26:23.365 --> 00:26:24.186
We got to give them money.
00:26:24.694 --> 00:26:27.623
Now Joe Biden is going to withhold weapons sales.
00:26:27.623 --> 00:26:29.287
You just got to be kidding me.
00:26:29.287 --> 00:26:38.424
I, joe Biden, am quickly becoming the worst president in American history, because I've long passed Jimmy Carter.
00:26:38.424 --> 00:26:40.682
I blew past him in less than two years.
00:26:40.682 --> 00:26:49.923
You say, maybe uncle Joe has just lost his step here and there and that might be cause for all these actions.
00:26:49.923 --> 00:26:51.467
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no.
00:26:51.467 --> 00:26:53.642
This is Joe Biden at his core.
00:26:53.642 --> 00:26:56.864
This is Joe Biden as the man he is.
00:26:56.864 --> 00:27:00.065
This is, in fact, joe Biden, his character.
00:27:02.496 --> 00:27:13.068
After months of haggling over the amount and the type of weapons, joe Biden decides to withhold offensive weapons from Israel since January of 2024.
00:27:13.068 --> 00:27:23.490
Congress acts and now Joe Biden doesn't want to retroactive those weapon sales anymore.
00:27:23.490 --> 00:27:27.703
Shame on you, mr President, shame, shame.
00:27:27.703 --> 00:27:31.884
And here's the real detail that everyone is missing.
00:27:31.884 --> 00:27:36.204
What type of weapons is the president withholding?
00:27:36.204 --> 00:27:43.087
Wall Street Journal did great legwork on reporting this.
00:27:43.087 --> 00:27:50.627
The weapons are joint direct attack munitions about 6,500 of them.
00:27:50.627 --> 00:27:54.384
Why are you doing this, mr President?
00:27:54.384 --> 00:28:12.519
Doing this, mr President, because civilian casualties, with military operations happening in the Gaza city of Rafah, could be ramped up, and Joe Biden is saying that these civilian casualties can't happen Now.
00:28:12.579 --> 00:28:14.723
Rafah is a southern city in Gaza.
00:28:14.723 --> 00:28:19.130
It has indeed over a million civilians that have been holed up there.
00:28:19.130 --> 00:28:24.003
But why is Hamas retreating to Rafah?
00:28:24.003 --> 00:28:29.737
Because precisely this is how they lie to the international community.
00:28:29.737 --> 00:28:33.528
This is what Hamas has been doing for over 25 years.
00:28:33.528 --> 00:28:36.962
They use civilians as human shields to protect themselves.
00:28:36.962 --> 00:28:44.403
This involves deliberate placement of non-combatants in and around clearly military targets.
00:28:44.403 --> 00:28:48.636
Example they fire rockets from civilian hospitals.
00:28:48.636 --> 00:28:55.348
Does Hamas this is all to deter Israel from targeting those areas?
00:28:56.576 --> 00:29:01.795
You might ask why are we not told about these games that Hamas is playing?
