Frank Gaffney (5:02)

Well, let me just make an overall observation, Steve. As you know, I had the privilege of working for President Reagan when he was practicing peace through strength. And it was an extraordinary moment in my life. I'm happy to say that I think the most glorious moment, probably even surpassing that, is the one we're living in now. You were talking with Julie earlier about the time to be alive. What Donald Trump is doing every single day. And I set the Middle east aside for a moment, but every single day in domestic policy and foreign policy is demonstrating that he is making America great again. And he's doing it by the practice of leadership first and foremost and the policy of peace through strength. And let me just say this to our friends who are relatively new to all of this. America First, I think, joins brilliantly with peace through strength because the idea behind the Reagan strategy was not to use our strength. It was to have our strength deter enemies from doing bad things and to come to terms that were acceptable to us. Donald Trump has the opportunity, and I think this is what we're going to see in the press conference coming up momentarily. I pray it is. Is that the kind of partnership that arguably we haven't seen since, oh, I don't know, FDR and Churchill or maybe Reagan and Thatcher and John Paul is available now to enable us to have the decisive victory we need. And I mean we meaning both the United States of America and the Judeo Christian civilized world, and also, of course, Israel, without having to use our strength by allowing the Israelis to use their strength and in fact, assuring that they've got the kit, the wherewithal to do that. But they have understood, I think, finally, in the aftermath of October 7, and President Trump spoke powerfully about it a moment ago, that horrific event shred, I hope for all time the idea that they can simply make peace with people determined to destroy them, whether it's Hamas, whether it's Hezbollah, whether it's Houthis, whether it's Iran, whether it's other Sharia supremacists, Turkey, they will have to prevail over them. And the very important insight for our America first team is that restraint won't get us there, let alone retreat. What will get us there is enabling Israel to finish the job, as President Trump has put it, to assure that victory is actually achieved over these enemies. Whether Qatar can play a role or not, I don't know. I don't believe they are on our side. But here's an interesting opportunity for a test. I was talking with our colleague David Wormser on our show Security America earlier today, and he pointed out Qatar has a village, or series of villages, I guess, that they built for the World Cup. They're sitting idle, they're empty, ready to go. How about we put 100,000, I don't know, women and children from Gaza in there right away to start this process. The other thing I just wanted to mention, Steve, is I don't know what they're talking about right now, but I've got to believe that with Donald Trump moving the Overton window, as my friend Pesic likes to say on this whole idea that Gaza is someplace that can be occupied, that can be inhabited for any time for the foreseeable future. Not by Israelis, as was mentioned by somebody in the press, Gallic, not by the Palestinians for sure. We have to change this ceasefire that the president basically inherited from Joe Biden, this hudna, if you want to be technical about it, a pause. Not real peace, not even temporary peace, but just a time for regrouping, for rearming and then for resuming the fight. This is a tradition that goes back to Muhammad. But the point is you cannot be allowing hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands of Gazans to go back into the north under these circumstances. That's provided for in phase two of this ceasefire deal. That can't happen. And here's a really important reason why it can't happen, Steve. If those Gazans go back, you can bet there will be more hostages. In fact, those hostages will be held by Hamas.

Brian Glenn (9:40)

Okay, keep it simple. Altogether keep it simple. And Rabbi bringing a minute, we're going to cut, as soon as they walk in, we're going to cut to it live. President Trumpsteve Witkoff went to Qatar and got the Qataris to have his back and he kind of forced himself into, Remember this was the whole thing about, was it Shabbat? He called up and they said, look, it's Shabbat, it's Friday night, you know, we'll see you Saturday night. And Witkoff goes, no, he's in Qatar, it's a couple hours away. What, 90 minute flight or something. He says, no, I'm coming, you know, be ready. He was, he came from Qatar and they knew he came from Qatar with the deal. Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't the whole thing about the return part of the ceasefire? It was going to be exchange of. It was going to be turning over the hostages, a thousand terrorists or freedom fighters, whatever you want to call them, for the Palestinians going to be released.

Steve Bannon (10:37)

The hostages are going to be released.

Brian Glenn (10:39)

Back to the Israelis, but that the mechanism for the return was there on the deal that President Trump basically had Witkoff negotiate. Am I correct on that? Frankfurt.

Frank Gaffney (10:53)

Oh, yeah, that's exactly what was in the cards. Okay, but how can that be in this phase one?

Brian Glenn (11:00)

How can we act like, how can we now act like. Because we've known that, we've known that the IDF had to do what they did, but it's like Dresden in 45, it's in fact it's worse than Ukraine. How does this come a surprise and how do we pivot now? Rabbi, let me do it with you. Isn't it a bait and switch? How do you get. You're getting the hostages back. Everybody's known about what it looks like, what it is, the lack of water, the lack of, you know, living space. They've known about it. How do you put that in the document? They sign off on it. Won't they sit there and go, this, another. This another Jerusalem, Washington, D.C. bait and switch, sir.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (11:39)

Look, Steve, the reason that Gaza is so uninhabitable, the reason it's so destroyed, is only because Hamas attacked Israel. They built a terrorist infrastructure that ran like a snake underneath the entire Gaza Strip with hundreds of miles of tunnels everywhere.

Brian Glenn (11:58)

Rabbi. Hang on, I got that. I agree with that, but I'm talking about. That was all known when this deal was cut.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (12:05)

Right.

Brian Glenn (12:05)

Now to say in the middle is now to say, oh, by the way, we just, upon further review, it's not inhabitable. And you guys ought to go to Egypt. Oh, Egypt doesn't want you. Oh, let's go to Jordan. Oh, Jordan doesn't want you. Nobody wants these folks. Right.

Frank Gaffney (12:21)

We counseled against this deal. You're talking to people who said, don't do this. Donald Trump has the option to do what he's doing now, which is to say change circumstances. Yes. I think that it is something people can say, well, you should have known. But I think the reality is nobody, until Donald Trump had the. Well, the guts to say, this won't work. It cannot stand. We have to revise it, and God bless him for doing so.

Brian Glenn (12:49)

Okay, I got that, Rabbi. I like that. That's a Chinese saying. Circumstances. When the Chinese retrade you, which they're constantly retreating, you. Frank knows this. There's. They start off the conversation. Circumstances change. In other words, the contract we have is no longer. No longer good because they've had a change of mind. So, Rabbi, your thoughts?

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (13:10)

Yes, Steve. It's not a bait and switch Israel made. No, did not. They weren't trying to convince anyone that northern Gaza was inhabitable. They said they wanted to come back. You want to come back? That's one of your terms. You can come back. Here's what it looks like. And every, you know, that's why I said before that every building that was destroyed was destroyed because it was a legitimate target. The soldiers that I spoke to, my children included, who were in combat there, said that literally every single home had weapons caches in it, had tunnel entry points. Many of the hostages were held by civilian families and abused by Them. I mean, this. And this goes to a larger problem, Steve, that you were raising, which is what if a lot of them don't want to leave? What if they don't want to go anywhere? The more moderate ones will want to leave. The ones who are more committed to the jihadist Hamas genocidal ideology need to be defeated. The only reason that the only way to really defeat a genocidal ideology is to actually defeat it, to fight it to victory, which is something that the Western world has forgotten about ever since World War II. That you have to defeat evil ideologies, otherwise they're just going to persist that that's the way we defeated Imperial Japan, that's the way we defeated Nazi Germany. You have to bring them to their knees. The only way to eradicate this evil is victory. And Israel had to destroy the Gaza Strip in the process of doing it. So where these people go is a problem that needs to be solved. But enough is enough. Since 1948, the Arabs have been starting wars and never paying the price. And everyone points the finger at Israel. The whole reason this disaster existed in the first place is the Egyptians and the other Arab leadership. The whole reason it's destroyed today is because of the jihadists who tried to destroy Israel. Let's start pointing the finger of responsibility. Let's point the finger of responsibility where it belongs. The Qataris funded this, the Egyptians facilitated it, the Iranians funded it. Let them pay the price for the results.

Frank Gaffney (15:12)

And Steve, the other point though, is that Hamas will hold anybody who is in the north hostage to prevent them from being removed. I can guarantee you that's how this will play out. For the same reasons that Pesach just talked about, that everything's destroyed there because they have nothing but contempt for their own people. They're only used as hostages or slaves. And when they're not useful, they're killed. And if they're killed by Israelis, better yet. But they'll kill them themselves or they'll hold them hostage. This is the ultimate change circumstance. And Donald Trump is absolutely right and you said it. It's common sense to say they can't go back there. It's not safe, it's not habitable, and that's not Israel's fault. It's the time for relocating these people permanently. Has to happen.

Brian Glenn (16:02)

Okay, Rabbi, hang on about this point. You got a whole wide swath of them just don't want to go. Some do. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure some do. A lot don't. But even the ones that Want to go? Riddle me this. There's nobody in the region wants to take them. The Egyptians couldn't be more adamant that. No thanks. The Jordanians couldn't be more adamant. No thanks. What are you going to. Are you going to put tent cities up in the Sinai and force the Egyptians? I mean, what is the solution if President Trump and people are saying, hey, the Gaza's, you know, uninhabitable and something's.

Steve Bannon (16:39)

Got to be done here.

Brian Glenn (16:40)

A bunch of people don't want to leave. Some do want to leave. Even the ones that want to leave. Where are you going to send them? Because right now it doesn't look like any of the neighbors. And then you get down the Gulf, it's even worse. But none of their neighbors want to take these folks. Your thoughts, sir?

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (16:56)

Well, you know the old expression, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If you have a population here that has willingly embraced an evil genocidal ideology, all they have is jihad. Even the other Arab countries don't want them. Wherever large populations of Palestinians have gone, whether it's Jordan or Egypt or Lebanon or Kuwait, wherever they go, they cause problems. And that's why nobody wants them. And I don't know what to. I mean, I guess I feel bad for them that they don't have anywhere to go. But again, the finger of responsibility should be pointed at where it belongs, on those, their leadership and their population that has chosen this. They embrace Hamas. Now, practically speaking, where are they going to go? I believe that the only real practical solution is to deliver the Sharia supremacists, the jihadists, such a resounding defeat that they do what the imperial Japanese and what the Nazi Germans did, and that is rethink their genocidal ideology, because it is unequivocally defeated. And it's really the only way to change these people. Otherwise you're just moving around the deck chairs on the Titanic shifting jihadists from one place to another. No one's gonna wanna take them. As you said, they're in a bind. But again, this is a society that embraced Hamas. It's not like Hamas was ruling over an unwilling population. This is a population that has been indoctrinated from the youngest age that the highest calling is to murder Jews and to destroy the state of Israel. This is also in the bigger picture, Steve. This is the unwillingness of the Sharia supremacists to accept Israel, because if they accept Israel, that means that they're putting down their arms and giving up on jihad and Sharia supremacy for the whole world. Because the front line of that, the bone in their craw of the Sharia supremacist goal for the world is the state of Israel and they can't come to peace with it. So there's going to have. Something's going to have to give. And this goes back to the question of are we going to have victory over this or are we kicking the can down the road to keep fighting against the jihadists in perpetuity? Israel's on the front lines. But make no mistake about it, everyone in the war room posse, and I've been a member of the war room posse from the beginning, everyone who knows that the Middle east is far away and that we're America first, should recognize that the Iranian money that they're getting from the CCP that they're using to fund Hamas, they're also using to fund Hezbollah in Venezuela and Paraguay, who are in business with the cartels and are essential to the drugs and the illegal trafficking across your southern border. Iran is your enemy and Iran is Israel's enemy. And we're just on the front lines. You know, they're after America and Israel's in the way.

Frank Gaffney (19:38)

And those Hezbollah folks are here, too. But can I give you a thought experiment, Steve? Yes, the question so who's gonna take them? Well, how about we start with the list of all of the countries that have been professing their undying commitment to Pales. Let's go through that list. I mentioned Qatar. Qatar's got a, you know, Olympic sized village that's ready to go. Start there. How about Turkey? Turkey loves the Palestinians. How about them? I'm sure some will wind up in Syria no matter what we do, but maybe Afghanistan, I don't know. There's places around the world that have and the president has said some are saying they'd like to take these guys. So that's possibly the case that there's others on the list besides Sharia supremacist nation.

Brian Glenn (20:24)

You've seen, you've seen the geostrategic reorientation of President Trump around a more.

Steve Bannon (20:32)

What.

Brian Glenn (20:32)

I call a Mahanian strategy or Mahanian strategy, more naval strategy. Looking to take. He sent Marco Rubio, Secretary Rubio, down to Panama. They come out as you and I have Talked about the ChineseThe CCP signs come down. The president of Panama walks out and says we're at a one belt, one road. Now, today, I think the contract for Hutchinson and Whampoa to run the stevedore system there has been torn up. Panama Canal is coming back to the United States, on the other hand, we had Tom Danz today at the commemoration of the Four Chaplains commemoration in Greenland. The people in Greenland seem like they're very open to some sort of independence and maybe partnership with the United States as part of the naval strategy to block the Russians. Arctic is up for grabs now is a great power, a great game between the ccp, the KGB and the United States of America. With all this going on in reorientation. He's talking about talking to Bibi today about building an iron dome for the United States. Who knows if it's technically feasible, who knows if it's financially feasible. We've got Bolsonaro, you know, on deck in Brazil. Malay's already down in Argentina. You've been focused on this forever. Drive the CCP out of Latin America. I think the APEC conference in or the Pacific Conference in Chile woke people up to the fact the CCP is everywhere and they got to go. With all that said, and now you got Ukraine. President Trump's going to do Ukraine. Are we getting too wrapped up? Is President Trump by actually stepping forward and said the Gazans have got to go, Are we getting too involved here? I mean the American first people say, yo, we got enough to worry about. Next thing you know, we're talking about a war with Persia, more involvement in. We're saying Gazan's got to go. That means if they got to go, you got to find a home for them. Just going to happen. And that means you're going to have to negotiate because none of these folks are going to welcome with open arms even to the desert in Sinai. You know it, the rabbi knows it. Is President Trump getting sucked into too much in the Ukraine and in the Middle east to take his eye off the ball, his energy against the CCP who came back today and said, hey, we heard about your 10% tariffs. We've got a couple of three things that we're going to throw back at you. You've got the CCP in one hand, you've got the hemispheric defense on another. He's got a man and one problems here. Is Ukraine in the Middle east worth it? Is it worth him getting sucked in to finding a home for the Gazans? Sir?

Frank Gaffney (23:02)

Steve, as you and I have talked about on many occasions, the reason there is a Ukraine, the reason there is a Middle east war is because of what I call not World War 3, but World War XI. These were orchestrated by the Chinese Communist Party. Make no mistake about it. Their strategy, including the Belt and Road Initiative is to be everywhere. So this idea that if we just focus on China or just East Asia, then we can let everything else slide is wrong. As Pesica said, they're in our hemisphere. They're in our country, for heaven's sakes. There are tens of thousands of People's Liberation army soldiers in our country at the moment. So you said it better than anybody, Steve. This president has inherited from Joe Biden a catastrophic situation around the world. It's crisis ever. It's World War 3. So I'm simply suggesting that. And I know that Pesek Wielicki agrees with me on this, as does our Victory Coalition, which you've been a founding member. We need victory. And the victory that we can get most immediately in the Middle east is entirely one that the Israelis can deliver, I believe, against all comers, provided they have our material support, as we've done in the past, as Biden tried to strangle. But as I believe Donald Trump understands, has to be renewed. That means we don't have our boots on the ground in that particular fight. The president is not interested in getting into a fight in Ukraine. He wants to resolve it with a negotiation. Godspeed. We do have to keep our eye on the Chinese, but it's not just in East Asia. My point is, victory in the Middle east will conduce to not having to fight the Chinese elsewhere. I'm convinced of it retreating, creating vacuums of power that they were already filling. Pesak talked about the Chinese funding this war through Iran with oil sales or with purchases. That's the kind of thing that we have to be confronting, but not with our boots on the ground. Let Israel do it. Just be clear. And I hope this is going to be the light motif of what the press conference is talking about, is this strategic partnership, special relationship is going to be rooted in the principle that there is no substitute for victory if you genuinely want America first.

Brian Glenn (25:29)

Rabbi Pesek is with us. The rabbi's got a great piece up on Ruclear Politics. I think President Trump might have read that. A lot of things President Trump was saying seems like he came from that, or at least directionally. Rabbi Frank Gaffney's with us. Rabbi, correct me if I'm wrong. You saw it and did. Did the president seem a little reserved to Bibi? I mean, in the press reveal they had. He kind of fielded the questions. Bibi jumped in there, but it wasn't normally President Trump's, you know, over. Is this because of. You think it's an issue with Bibi embracing coming to embrace Biden. Do you think it's Bibi supposedly backed out of the situation where we took out the Iranian, the Persian military commander Soleimani, or is it because, you know, there's still a lot of hurt and questions? President Trump thinks the October 7th situation is horrible. And, you know, it happened on Bibi's watch. Did you notice it seemed like any of the lack of traditional chemistry between these two, or am I reading too much into it?

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (26:39)

I'm not sure if you're reading too much into it, but certainly there is some residue of those of those past issues in their relationship. But at the same time, one of the reporters asked President Trump directly, you've had ups and downs in your relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu. And President Trump said more ups than downs, mostly up. That was what he said. In other words, he was dismissing that. But at the same time, you're right. He wasn't all smiley and gracious in the way that he often is. And I think that part of that is just being non committal. This is, this was an impromptu press conference during the photo op in the chairs. The main press conference is coming now. And I think that before he had the conversation with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he didn't want to be too generous in what he's going to be saying. He doesn't want to be committal. But I think it's also clear that President Trump wants to make it known that whatever policies are going to come out of this are his. They're not him.

Steve Bannon (27:37)

Except, have you seen the news from economists forecasting a depression? I'm not talking recession. I mean depression. By the year 2030, we're in a perfect storm as Social Security and Medicare hit a breaking point with the largest generation hitting retirement. A smaller workforce means a smaller tax base. Pair that with our growing national debt and rising cost of living and you got a problem.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (32:08)

Prime Minister Netanyahu's policies, he's driving the action and that could have also been part of it, as I see it.

Brian Glenn (32:15)

You first and then I'm going to go to Frank. Make us smart here. Through the eyes of America's, not Israel's, through the eyes of America's enemies in the region. What are they going to be looking for? What's the thing that we could say to put our enemies on the back foot and what are they going to be looking for in this about any kind of gap between the American historical relationship with Israel, particularly President Trump, as you know, greatly admires the Israeli military. Right. As being a force that has had some tremendous victories in the past, Sir.

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (32:49)

Well, they're going to be looking for two things. They're going to be looking on the Iran front for what comes out of President Trump's mouth in terms of being open to Israeli security strikes against Iran. He already announced earlier today that he's renewing the sanctions and pointing the finger at Iran and as you mentioned earlier, threatening them if they try to come after him. Let's remember that Iran was broke when President Trump left office. They had no money to fund Hamas and Hezbollah. So they're gonna be watching for what he says about Iran. Prime Minister Netanyahu has made it his life's work to take them down. And on the Gaza front, they're gonna be looking for what President Trump says about phase two. Phase two, which we're now on day 17 of this 42 day ceasefire and they've started negotiating phase two, which is supposed to lead to a permanent ceasefire. The right wing in Israel is threatening to bring down the government if we don't go back to war at the end of phase one. And they're going to be looking for President Trump to be pressuring Prime Minister Netanyahu or an announcement that they are going to be going into phase two for a permanent ceasefire. They're going to be looking for something in that direction, although I don't think you're going to get any commitment out of them one way or another on that.

Frank Gaffney (34:03)

Yeah, I would just say, yeah, go ahead. As Bibi put it, they're looking for daylight between these two allies. They've always looked for that. And whenever they see it, they think they can build wedges that will exploit it. They believe that they can help undermine Israel. But as you said yourself a moment ago, Israel is a speed bump on the road to the United States of America. We've talked about the threat that is present here and not just in our hemisphere, but inside the country that will be magnified enormously if these guys actually think they can finish off Israel, which has been their set purpose for generations, if they don't see that daylight, if they see that special relationship, if they see, as Rabbi Pestic was saying, if they see the President of the United States saying, hey, obviously we can't continue into phase two under the present deal because that means having all these people moving north into the northern part of Gaza. I mean, that can't happen. So we're talking about a do over of some kind. And that will be a very powerful signal if it's rooted in the principle that Hamas has to be defeated, not allowed to survive or even actually prevail over Israel en route to what they all hope will be the next step, which is defeating Israel itself.

Brian Glenn (35:29)

Rabbi, you have a powerful and rising part of the MAGA movement, and particularly on the America first national security policy, and that is I would call the Tucker Carlson, Darren Beatty, Kurt Mills, and these are some of the smartest people we have in this movement and huge followers of President Trump. And I would actually add Grace Chung, who runs our social media user, that there's not an insignificant amount, probably 50, 50 of you in the war room posse, that is in the social media and the chat rooms and talk about all the time, that a tripwire for them. And if you mention war with Persia, if you mention even airstrikes on Iran or Persia, they literally say, okay, we can't do that. What do you say to those folks to say, hey, maybe you're not thinking of this. What would be your outreach to them to try to get them on board, where these are the folks that are saying, hey, too much of this is the tail wagging the dog in the Middle East. We don't really have a fight over there. It's not our. We hear Bannon, we hear Gaffney, we hear the jihad, you know, the anti jihad crowd, but we're not buying it. We still think the tail wags the dog. And we're adamantly opposed to this. Now, if Bibi, and you said it right there, and I agree with you, it's his life's work. He thinks it's. He believes in his heart of hearts. It's an existential threat. And I believe he feels that on his watch he has to take care of it. And we don't know how long his watch is going to last. So what do you say to that? What do you say to that element of the America first that's pretty adamantly opposed to this, sir?

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (37:14)

Well, first, what I said earlier, and that is that Iran's nefarious behavior is not limited to the Middle East. They're also funding a lot of what's going on on your southern border. And they're working very closely with the cartels. They are actively an enemy of America, not only in theory. I would also point to the Iranian people who are suffering under this regime. Iran is actually not a very religious population. They have the lowest mosque attendance per capita of any Muslim nation. And you have a suffering population that's actually quite pro Western and even pro Israel that is suffering under the mullahs and much akin to the Lao Beijing out in China. But mainly I would also argue that you're just kicking the can down the road if you don't deal with Iran. And we have an opportunity. The regime is teetering. The regime is on the verge of collapse and the time to change things. Why should we live in perpetuity with this sharia supremacist jihadist regime that started in 1979? It's not a law of nature that they have to be governing one of the largest nations in the Middle East. And if the Iranian mullahs regime were to fall, this isn't like Syri. It wouldn't be replaced by some other radical group. Iran is quite an advanced, fairly western nation. If you think about what it was under the Shah, you would have a very powerful partner with the west. And the ripple effect of peace throughout the world would be incredible. And this is very much a national security issue for the United States as well. The Iranian regime, if it's not dealt with, if it remains in power, especially if it continues to sell its oil, which Donald Trump is putting a stop to, but if the Iranian regime remains in power, there will be jihad. Jihad is not just a hobby of theirs. Jihad is what they put their money into, not into their own people. There will be jihad continuing throughout the Middle east, throughout Europe, throughout South America, and into the United States in perpetuity so long as that regime is in power. That's what I would say to them.

Frank Gaffney (39:18)

And I would add to it the East.

Brian Glenn (39:20)

If Frank Hangers, I'm gonna come right to you for a second. I want to Ask this in a different way. We're watching the East Room. The East Room is on the residence side. That's actually in the residence of the, of the White House itself. Proper, historic. So many important press conferences, meetings have taken place there. You've got a, you've got to leave the Oval Office, walk through the colony, past the Rose Garden, into the, into the back of the residence, then up, of course, down that carpet, that beautiful centerpiece to the East Room. It's been historic. President Trump is due there momentarily with Bibi Netanyahu. So right now in that Oval Office, Frank Gaffney, they're talking about war and peace. Bibi Netanyahu is making his case. That rabbi just made that the Persians are a threat, not just the region. The Persians are a direct threat to the United States of America. And he's making a case for war against the Persians. And his case is that, hey, we were able to take. Hezbollah is supposedly the best light infantry in the world and we've taken it. We basically destroyed them. In much of the Syria, Lebanon corridor. The regime is on its back foot. It's got all these elements that the rabbi just talked about. And if you just give me some, if you just give us some support, if you just give us, you don't have to be in combat, but you give us some air support. And if you look the other way in any type of infantry, at least initially, you won't have to be involved. We can take this down. Am I wrong in that or is that the pitch that Beebe came here to make?

Frank Gaffney (40:59)

I suspect he's looking for help in a couple of different places, including the ones we've just been talking about. Gaza for one, relief from the deal, finishing the job in Lebanon. Clearly not a perpetual ceasefire that allows Hezbollah to have the Hudna and get back in business. But Iran is clearly part of this agenda. Steve and I just wanted to add to everything that Pesik Wolicki was talking about the other piece of it. And with all due respect to the people who just don't think this is a problem, the Iranians could have a nuclear weapon at any time, if they don't already. I'm kind of astonished, frankly. But it could be any time. And if they don't think that's a threat to us, think again. One of the reasons that Donald Trump is absolutely right about pursuing a so called Iron Dome for America, it won't be exactly an Iron Dome because Iron Dome in Israel is for short range things. We need long range missiles to be protected against and the way to do that is from space. And President Trump understands that. And not only Steve do we have the technology to do it, thanks, among other things to what Elon Musk has been doing. But back in the George H.W. bush administration, we had a program that was ready to go to put space based sensors and weapons in place that would have neutralized not just, you know, the Iranian threat or the North Korean threat, but the Chinese and even the Russian threats. And unfortunately, Bill Clinton, when he came to office, he brought in Les Aspin, one radical leftist, as his secretary of defense. And one of the first things he did in office was say we're taking the stars out of Star Wars. And ever since then, we basically have not pursued the logical, the effective, the efficient, the cost effective, especially way of doing a comprehensive defense in the United States against missile attack of all kinds, hypersonic, by the way, cruise missiles, the whole works. And that is from space. So Donald Trump is right about that. And in part, it is a matter of the utmost urgency because Iran is at the cusp of joining that league of people who, with a short ranged missile off the coast of the United States, could launch an EMP attack against this electromagnetic pulse, take out our grid and we would be done. So this is a problem. If you don't think it's a problem, ladies and gentlemen, I entreat you to study it more closely. Because if you do study it even a little bit, I think you're going to realize that retreat gets us killed. It enables them to defeat us, not just the Israelis. And pretending that these aren't problems or that it's somebody else's problem is a terrible mistake. The best thing about it though, just to wrap this all up, Steve, is, and I'm sure this is a point Phoebe is making to the President. We can do this, Mr. President. Just help us with material support and take care of it.

Brian Glenn (43:53)

I don't think the stakes could be higher. I actually don't think. Rabbi, this is to you, by the way. We're standing by. As soon as the President and Bibi walk out, we will cut right to the live coverage. Yeah, Gaza in Hamas and all that. That's a symptom of the problem, according to Bibi. It's not the problem itself. His problem, he thinks, is the Muslim Brotherhood, the financing. But the great Satan he's seen historically in his life is the Persians in Iran. And he's got one shot with an audience of President Trump to convince him to support him on a military. Am I wrong in that? Am I Just dreaming this, or is that the purpose, this purpose of the meeting is not about the replacement. Are they going to go back to Gaza or they're going to go to the Sinai desert? Whether you're going to have any more, whether in Judea, Samaria, you're going to take care of Hamas? Yes, those are all elements of it. But the central thing is, and what Bibi's wanted to accomplish, and he needs an American president to have his back, and he thinks President Trump is the one that's the most logical and open to his, since the Democrats allowed him essentially get a nuclear weapon, that President Trump, who thinks outside the box, is his best shot, even though he's got leading intellectuals like Tucker Carlson, like Kurt Mills, like Darren Beatty, and dozens and dozens and dozens of others to say this is a sucker's play. Is that not the pitch in the Oval Office right now that he's making, sir?

Rabbi Pesach Wolicki (45:17)

Oh, it absolutely is. Because on those other issues you mentioned, like Hamas ruling Gaza and what to do with, you know, some of these other issues, there's already agreement between the Trump administration and, and Bibi's administration. We know that already. The statements have already been made. It's on the Iran issue that I guess you could say we're not sure that President Trump has been convinced by Netanyahu. But everything you're raising, Steve, speaks to the fact that there's a much larger issue here, which is, are we serious about the threat to Western civilization? Because the Sharia supremacists, the Qataris, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Shiites in Tehran, they're very serious about their desire to defeat our civilization. And I don't see that resolve coming on our side the same way. Are we serious about winning? Are we serious about our civilization defeating the enemy that is seeking to take it over? Look what's happening in Europe. Look what's happening with Sharia supremacy there. And I think a question to Tucker and Darren Beatty and, and all that side of things is, are you actually serious about this battle, this clash of civilizations? Are you willing to surrender in this clash? Are you accommodationist in this? Why are we so afraid of victory?

Brian Glenn (46:41)

Frank, let me go. We only got a few. I think we have eight minutes. We're waiting for the press conference. The reason I say it's a purpose of the meeting. They're an hour late for the press conference. Now, I realize Bibi showed up a few minutes late to the White House, but I believe, folks, they're having a pretty intense conversation. And I think President Trump is being quite blunt with Bibi, and I think Bibi is being as blunt as he can possibly be. Back to the President of the United States, I think this is quite intense, and I'm glad you agree with me. Rabbi, are they coming out? Okay, they're going to come out. I'm going to hold my question for Frank Gaffney. We're going to go through our coverage. But let's go now live to the East Room of the White House for the press conference with President Trump and Bibi Netanyahu.

Stephen K. Bannon (47:24)

Press Congratulations. You bring them out. You really bring them out. Today, I'm delighted to welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu back to the White House. It's a wonderful feeling and a wonderful event. We had fantastic talks and thank you very much with your staff. He's the first foreign head of state to visit during our administration. And Bibi, I want to say it's an honor to have you with us. Over the past four years, the US and the Israeli alliance has been tested more than any time in history. But the bonds of friendship and affection between the, the American and Israeli people have endured for generations, and they are absolutely unbreakable. They are unbreakable. I'm confident that under our leadership, the cherished alliance between our two countries will soon be stronger than ever. We had a great relationship. We had great victories together four years ago. Not so many victories over the past four years. However, in my. The first term prime minister and I forged a tremendously successful partnership that brought peace and stability to the Middle east like it hadn't seen in decades. Together, we defeated isis. We ended the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, one of the worst deals ever made, by the way, and imposed the toughest ever sanctions on the Iranian regime. We starved Hamas and Iran's other terrorists, terrorist proxies, and we starved them like they had never seen before. Resources and support disappeared for them. I recognized Israel's capital, opened the American embassy in Jerusalem and got it built, by the way. Built it to just not only designated it, but got it built at a price that Nobody's seen for 40 years. We got it built. It's beautiful. All Jerusalem stone right from nearby. And it was, it's something that's very special and recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, something that they talked about for 70 years and they weren't able to get it. And I got it. And with the historic Abraham Accord, something that was really an achievement that was, I think, going to become more, more important because we achieved the most significant Middle east peace agreements in half a century. But The Abraham Accords in particular. And I really believe that many countries will soon be joining this amazing peace and economic development transaction. It really is a big economic development transaction. I think we're going to have a lot of people signing up very quickly. Unfortunately, for four years, nobody signed up. Nobody did anything for four years, except in the negative. Unfortunately, the weakness and incompetence of those years, those past four years, the grave damage around the globe that was done, including in the Middle east, grave damage all over the globe. The horrors of October 7th would never have happened if I were president. The Ukraine and Russia disaster would never have happened if I were president. Over the past 16 months, Israel has endured a sustained, aggressive and murderous assault on every front. But they fought back bravely. You see that and you know that what we have witnessed is an all out attack on the very existence of a Jewish state in the Jewish homeland. The Israelis have stood strong and united in the face of an enemy that has kidnapped, tortured, raped and slaughtered innocent men, women, children and even little babies. I want to salute the Israeli people for meeting this trial with courage and determination and unflinching resolve. They have been strong. In our meetings today, the Prime Minister and I focused on the future, discussing how we can work together to ensure Hamas is eliminated and ultimately restore peace to a very troubled region. It's been troubled, but what's happened in the last four years has not been good. I want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for working closely with my transition team. The special envoy, Steve Witkoff, who's here somewhere. Steve, stand up, Steve, please. What a job you've done, what a good job you've done. Proud of you. You've done a fantastic job. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz. Thank you, Mike, for working so well with us. Thank you. We have in addition, Marco Rubio, who is on the phone right now listening to every single word that we say. And he's going to be great. And Pete, congratulations. And Scott, congratulations. I see you're here. And Caroline's been doing a great job. She's really probably talked about more than anybody here. She's done a fantastic job. And thank you very much, Caroline. We're proud of you. But we'll only be satisfied when all of these problems are solved and we have the team to solve them. And that's going to happen. And it's going to happen, I think, very quickly. I also strongly believe that the Gaza Strip, which has been a symbol of death and destruction for so many decades and so bad for the people anywhere near it, and especially those who live there and frankly, who's been really very unlucky. It's been very unlucky. It's been an unlucky place for a long time. Being in its presence just has not been good. And it should not go through a process of reform, building and occupation by the same people that have really stood there and fought for it and lived there and died there and lived a miserable existence there. Instead, we should go to other countries of interest with humanitarian hearts and there are many of them that want to do this and build various domains that will ultimately be occupied by the 1.8 million Palestinians living in Gaza. Ending the death and destruction and frankly, bad luck. This can be paid for by neighboring countries of great wealth. It could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12. It could be numerous sites or it could be one large site. But the people will be able to live in comfort and peace and will get sure of, will make sure something really spectacular is done. They're going to have peace. They're not going to be shot at and killed and destroyed like this civilization of wonderful people has had to endure. The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative. It's right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site for literally every building is down. They're living under fallen concrete that's very dangerous and very precarious. They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area with homes and safety and they can live out their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back and do it again. The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We'll own it and, and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site. Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings. Level it out. Create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area. Do a real job, do something different. Just can't go back. If you go back, it's going to end up the same way way it has for 100 years. I'm hopeful that this ceasefire could be the beginning of a larger and more enduring peace that will end the bloodshed and killing once and for all. With the same goal in mind. My administration has been moving quickly to restore trust in the alliance and rebuild American strength throughout the region. And we've really done that. We're a respected nation again. A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks. We, we are actually a very respected nation again. I ended the last administration's de facto arms embargo on over $1 billion in military assistance for Israel. And I'm also pleased to announce that this afternoon the United States withdrew from the anti semitic UN Human Rights Council and ended all of the support for the UN Relief and Works Agency, which funneled money to Hamas and which was very disloyal to humanity. Today I also took action to restore a maximum pressure policy on the Iranian regime and we will once again enforce the most aggressive possible sanctions drive Iran.
