Netanyahu corrects Jonathan Karl when he relays a report suggesting that Trump opposes taking out Iran's Supreme Leader. "Jon, I wouldn't rush to conclusions," Netanyahu says. Taking out the Supreme Leader will not "escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict," he says https://t.co/fBYtmLHJNT

Video Transcript AI Summary
An Israeli official stated that a plan to take out the supreme leader of Iran was rejected by the U.S. President over concerns of escalating the conflict. The official believes that removing the supreme leader would end the conflict, not escalate it, claiming Iran spreads terrorism, sabotage, and subversion throughout the Middle East and is bringing the world to the brink of nuclear war. According to the official, Israel is preventing a horrific war and bringing peace to the Middle East. They believe that defanging Iran will allow for new heights in the Middle East, expanding the Abraham Accords, trade, tourism, and communication between Israel and its Arab neighbors. The official stated that the U.S. has provided tremendous help, including American pilots shooting down drones, THAAD batteries in Israel, and Aegis ships.

Speaker 0: But but US officials tell us that the president flatly rejected a a a plan, an opportunity that that that the EU that the Israelis had to take out the supreme leader. Do you understand his concern? My my understanding is con his concern is that this would escalate the conflict beyond where it is already. Speaker 1: It's not gonna escalate the conflict. It's gonna end the conflict. We've had half a century of conflict spread by this regime that terrorizes everyone in the Middle East, has bombed the Aramco oil fields in Saudi Arabia, is spreading terrorism and subversion and sabotage everywhere. That's the forever war is what Iran wants and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression. And we can only do so by standing up to the forces of evil. Look, democracies have had to learn this lesson. You know, they faced a tyrannical regime, a radical fanatic regime. For forty years, for forty years I've been saying, actually three years after the establishment of this radical Islamist Ayatollah regime in Tehran, I said that the greatest danger, not only to the survival of my country but to the peace of the world, is Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. And they are on the brink of achieving that. So imagine what they're doing now without nuclear weapons, chanting death to America without nuclear weapons. Imagine what will happen if they had nuclear weapons and the ICBMs, the intercontinental ballistic missiles, to deliver it to every place on earth. We're preventing the most horrific war imaginable and we're bringing peace to the Middle East. And I believe that after our action we're going to be able to bring the Middle East to new heights that nobody even imagined. Make The Middle East great again, make it truly great, have expand the peace with the Abraham Accords, expand them beyond our belief and imagination, have trade routes, communication routes, energy routes, have trade, tourism between Israel and our Arab neighbors, just as we've done under the Abraham Accords. All of that will be possible if we take away, defang Iran from its capacity to threaten everyone, not only us with our existence, but the regimes and our Arab neighbors and everyone else. This will bring the peace that we all hope for. And this will bring also the assurance of survival and a future for Israel and everyone else. Speaker 0: So so it sounds to me like you're saying you disagreed with president Trump on this on, you know, saying that taking out the supreme leader would be a mistake. What else what else would you like from The United States? I mean, United States could provide Speaker 1: John, I wouldn't get John, I wouldn't rush to conclusions. Speaker 0: Yeah. Well, you know, he he said that it would escalate the conflict. You said it wouldn't. And and now I'm asking you what more would you like from president Trump from The United States here? Do you expect that the US air force will help you take out that facility in We've Speaker 1: got tremendous help from president Trump. American pilots are shooting down drones that are aimed at our cities along with our pilots. We have two THAAD batteries in, in Israel that are helping bring down these, these, murderous missiles. We have Aegis ships that are helping us, and it's deeply appreciated.

Netanyahu says Trump "emphasized" to him that the ceasefire is "temporary," and Israel will have "full backing" to resume the war in Gaza. He says Trump has decided to "lift all the remaining restrictions" on US munitions, allowing Israel to resume the war with "tremendous force" https://t.co/oodqpwkU7I

Video Transcript AI Summary
Since his election, Trump has been committed to releasing hostages. He recently congratulated me on the agreement, emphasizing that the first stage is a temporary ceasefire. This is crucial as we prepare for the next stages, ensuring we can recover all hostages. Both Trump and Biden support Israel's right to resume combat if negotiations become unproductive, which I appreciate. Additionally, I value Trump's decision to lift restrictions on providing essential munitions and weapons to Israel. If combat resumes, we will approach it with new strategies and significant force.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Russia is accused of planning disinformation campaigns and staging a false flag operation in Eastern Ukraine. The US government claims to have intelligence information supporting these allegations, citing past Russian tactics and troop movements near Ukraine's borders. However, they do not provide concrete evidence to back up these claims, leading to skepticism from the interviewer. The US official emphasizes the need for deterrence and protection of sensitive sources and methods, but fails to satisfy the interviewer's request for verifiable evidence. The conversation ends with unresolved doubts about the validity of the accusations.

Speaker 0: So you said actions such as these suggest otherwise suggest meaning that they suggest they're not interested in talks and they're gonna go ahead with some kind of a what action are you talking about? Speaker 1: 1, the actions I've just pointed to. The fact What action? The the fact that Russia continues to engage, in disinformation campaigns. Speaker 0: Made an allegation that they might do that. Have they actually done it? Speaker 1: What we know, Matt, is what we what I have just said, that they have engaged in this activity, in this planning activity. What Speaker 0: I'm saying? Speaker 1: But but let me let me because, obviously, this is not this is not the first time we've made, these reports public. You'll remember that just a few weeks ago. Oh, wow. Speaker 0: I'm sorry. You Made made made what report public? Speaker 1: If you let me finish, I will tell you what report we made public. We told you a few weeks ago that we have information indicating Russia also has already prepositioned a group of operatives to conduct a false flag operation in Eastern Ukraine. So that, Matt, to your question, is an action that Russia has already taken. That's an Speaker 0: action that you say that they have taken, but you have shown no evidence to to to to confirm that. And I'm gonna get to the next question here, which is what is the evidence that they I mean, this is, like, crisis actors, really. This is like Alex Jones territory you're getting into then. What evidence do you have to support the idea that there is some propaganda film in the in in the making? Speaker 1: Matt, this is derived, from information known to the US government, intelligence information that we have declassified. I think you Speaker 0: know Okay. Well, where where is it? Where where is this information? Speaker 1: It is intelligence information that we have declassified. Speaker 0: Well, where is it? Where is the declassified information? Speaker 1: I just delivered it. Speaker 0: No. No. You made a series of allegations Speaker 1: and statement. Would you like us to print it out the topper? Because you will see a transcript of this briefing that you can print out for yourself. Speaker 0: That's not evidence, Ned. That's you saying it. That's not evidence. I'm sorry. Speaker 1: What would you like, Matt? Speaker 0: I I would like to see some proof that you that that that that that you can show that that Speaker 1: Matt, you have been Speaker 0: that that shows that that that shows that the Russians are doing it. Ned, I've been doing this for a while. Speaker 1: I know. That was my pleasure. You you have you you have been doing this for quite a while. You know that when we declassify intelligence information, we do so in in a means a rat. We do so we do so with an eye to protecting sources and methods. Speaker 0: Not gonna fall. I I remember a lot of things. So where where where is the declassified information other than you coming out here and saying? Speaker 1: Matt, I'm sorry you don't like the format, but we have declassified Speaker 0: format. It's the content. Speaker 1: I'm sorry you don't like the content. I'm sorry you I'm sorry you are doubting the information that is in possession of the US government. No. I I what I'm telling you is that this is information that's available to us. We are making it available to you, in order, for a couple reasons. 1 is to attempt to deter the Russians from going ahead with this activity. 2, in the event we're not able to do that, in the event the Russians do go ahead with this, to make it clear as day, to lay bare the fact that this has always been an attempt on the part of the Russian Federation to fabricate a pretext. Speaker 0: Yeah. But you don't have any any evidence to back it up other than what you're saying. It's like you're saying, we think we have information. The Russians may do this, but you won't tell us what information is. Speaker 1: And then when when you're That is the idea behind deterrence, Matt. That is the idea behind deterrence. It is our hope that the Russians don't go forward with this. Speaker 0: Is you say, I just gave it to you. But that's not what Speaker 1: You you seem not to understand you seem not to understand the idea Speaker 0: of deterrence. We are trying to the Russians Speaker 1: are moving forward with this type of activity. That is why we are making it public today. If the Russians don't go forward with this, that is not, ipso facto, an indication that they never had plans to do so. But Speaker 0: But then it's unprovable. My my god. What is the evidence that you have that suggests that that that the Russians are even planning this? Speaker 1: Not you. Speaker 0: I mean, I'm not saying that they're not, but you just come out and say this and expect us just to to to believe it without you showing a shred of evidence that that it's actually true other than when I ask or when anyone else asks, what's the information? You said, well, I just gave it to you, which was just you making a statement. Speaker 1: Matt, you said yourself, you've been in this business for quite a long time. You know that when we make information, intelligence information public, we do so, in a in a way that protects sensitive sources and methods. You also know that we do so. We declassify information only when we're confident in that information. Speaker 0: You have a Speaker 1: If you doubt if you doubt the the credibility of the US government, of the British government, of other governments and wanna, you know, find, solace in information that, the Russians are putting out, that is, that is for you to do. Speaker 0: I'm not asking what what the Russian government is putting out, and and what do you mean? Speaker 1: What is this supposed to be? The video because US officials are describing, very specific scenes, but do they actually have a video? The the fact that we are able to go into such great detail, obviously, I'm not going to spell out what is in our possession, but I will leave, I will leave it to you. I will leave that to your, to your judge that you have. Speaker 0: There are no facts that you spell that. Speaker 1: Days. Do you have evidence this was intended to come out in the coming days? We've we've said then for some time now that the Russians, have positioned forces. They have undertaken preparations that if Putin decides to move forward with an invasion, they're positioned to do so. They are poised to do so. In the coming Speaker 0: day. One just one one last thing. Like, I'm not buying into Russian propaganda, but I'm also not gonna buy into an accusation. Yes. You are. You're saying the proof is that I just said it. So let me just appeal to you on behalf of all of us, and the American people, and the people of the world, and the Russian people, and the Ukrainian people. One piece of evidence to suggest that the Russians are planning to use crisis actors to stage a false mass casualty event to use as a pretext. Just one piece. Okay? And not you or Kirby or Jen or John Feiner or Jake saying this is what is so. And then you turning around and saying, well, because we said it, it's a fact. Speaker 1: So let me One piece of Let me make one Speaker 0: piece of verifiable evidence. Speaker 1: Let let me make let me make, a couple broad points. And I I I acknowledge this will probably be unsatisfactory to you in a moment. But, here's what I think you know, what I certainly know, what everyone here knows. There are a 100000 Russian troops encircling Ukraine right now, approaching Ukraine's borders, close to the borders. There are thousands of Russian troops, with the potential for some 30,000 Russian troops to stream in to Belarus. All of these forces are positioned, could well be positioned if Putin makes that decision, to, engage on Ukraine in a coordinated assault. We also know, that the Russians have resorted to these tactics in the past, have, developed a remarkably similar playbook in 2014, amassed troops engaged in 2014 is a historical fact, engaged in disinformation and propaganda to paint Ukraine as the aggressor, fabricated a pretext for an invasion and went in. So with what we know from 8 years ago, with what we have seen, you and I both have seen, everyone has seen, with what we have heard 8 years ago, in the ensuing 8 years, and in recent weeks, it seems to me that, it should not be outlandish, that the Russians may be, engaging in this activity again. Speaker 0: Being outlandish doesn't mean that you have any proof that it's that it's happening or being planned. Speaker 1: The second point. The second point. Speaker 0: That you can't just all of that may very well be true. Probably is true. Okay? But it doesn't provide any evidence of what you're alleging now, which is that they're planning this mass fake mass casualty event with, quote, unquote, crisis actors, which is something that, you know, in the US, we rarely hear outside of the kind of, you know, nutty conspiracy theory, crowd. Speaker 1: Well, to be to be clear, we're not alleging what the United States is doing. This is information available to us No. No. But but are up to. I understand your point, but I just wanna Speaker 0: You do? Because, I mean, you're treading into some serious waters here. And and and and if you can't provide any evidence other than, well, I said so, and so it's a fact, that's a problem. Speaker 1: Matt, there's a second point. This is derived from intelligence. Intelligence in which, we have confidence, we in which we have confidence. Speaker 0: You have confidence you have in Speaker 1: in the WMD. Otherwise. Otherwise. Otherwise. Otherwise. We would Otherwise, we would not be making it public in the way we are. But here's here's the other point. Intelligence and evidence, these are 2 separate things. It is, Speaker 0: no But you're saying it's a fact and that it that you have proof, and then you can't offer any proof. And to to to show this fact, I'll drop it. But I think we should move on.

Speaker 0: Do you think there was or could have been a CIA conspiracy to remove you from office? Speaker 1: I don't know. I know many people think so. I would say that I've had it found it difficult to understand why the CIA, which apparently had advanced knowledge of the break in, didn't inform me. I found it difficult to understand how it could have been, that at least 2 of those involved, had CIA connections, and nevertheless, that, it was not brought to my attention as to far the break break in occurring. I must say too, the CIA had motive. It was no secret that I was dissatisfied with the CIA, with its reports and particularly, with their appraisals of Soviet strength and our other problems around the world. Speaker 0: Do you think they feared you? Speaker 1: No question about it. And they had reason to. I was gonna shape up that organization and the defense department, the whole government for that matter, but particularly that one. In one occasion, I said I thought we could cut a third of the people out of the CIA and do a better job. I didn't wanna weaken it as, unfortunately, it was castrated in the post Watergate era. I wanted to strengthen it. I wanted to get rid of some of the dead wood and so forth and they knew it. So they had a motive. I'm not prepared to say whether there was a conspiracy or not. I would only say that, it should make a fascinating study for an investigative reporter. He won't win any prizes, by writing anything that would not be anti Nixon, but on the other hand, it would perhaps be historically interesting. Speaker 0: If there was such a conspiracy, do you think that reporter would, would ever live to write about it? Is it the kind of thing that will ever come out? Speaker 1: I have a feeling that all of this talk that the CIA is gonna knock off those that will, shall we say, reveal some of their covert operations, those in this country, I think that's exaggerated.

The new TIME interview with Biden is criticized for perpetuating myths about Trump's stance on NATO. Biden's foreign policy vision is questioned, and his framing of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is seen as a failure. His views on Putin and the Warsaw Pact are criticized. Biden's explanation of an "endgame" in Ukraine is deemed incoherent. His comments on Israel and the ongoing conflict with Hamas are seen as misleading. Biden's remarks on Japan's re-militarization and US military involvement with China are criticized. Lastly, his statement about "bad guys" rooting for Trump is seen as promoting a mindlessly belligerent dynamic.

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

The new TIME interview with Biden is an utter disaster. Here is a thread with the soul-crushing lowlights https://t.co/fSSR0DNDI8

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

First, Biden repeats the common Democratic folklore that Trump wants to "abandon" US alliances, and in particular wants to "eviscerate" NATO. At this point, this is just pure mind-melting myth. Trump brags to this VERY DAY about how he secured additional spending commitments from NATO member states. It makes zero sense for Trump to "eviscerate" NATO, a key tool of American hegemonic power, which Trump bombastically pledges to maintain and expand. Absolutely nothing from the actual record of the Trump Administration reflects doing anything to substantively undermine NATO. Rather, the opposite: He literally signed off on two rounds of NATO expansion, and he elevated Ukraine into a NATO subsidiary status. He increased the funding of the Pentagon funding vehicle for US troops in Europe. He set up new military garrisons in Poland. Trump even recently posted an endorsement of his pro-NATO stance from the NATO secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg. This is so disastrous because it perpetuates the political dynamic whereby Trump is given incentive to further demonstrate how steadfastly supportive he is of NATO, to refute this never-ending myth.

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden also sets up the contrast with Trump where Biden's foreign policy vision is supposedly "values-based," whereas Trump is based on... something else. "Values" are code for "messianic liberal interventionist ideals that never hold up to basic tests of constituency or efficacy" https://t.co/voyFpFt6fx

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden frames the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a big win, rather than a colossal failure for the entire world, because he pioneered the Jake Sullivan/Bill Burns strategy of selectively leaking pre-war intel to supposedly "deter" Russia from invading. Yeah, that worked out well. https://t.co/N4VDKuRtil

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden repeats the mindless myth that Putin is trying to "re-establish the Soviet Union," which just makes zero sense on any conceivable level. Biden hasn't updated his views one iota. As Barack Obama once said, "The 1980s are calling, they want their foreign policy back" https://t.co/LvmA6GTjH8

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden takes it a step further and even claims that Putin wants to re-establish the Warsaw Pact, though he appears to forget the name of the Warsaw Pact. Just to be clear, this is an assertion that Putin wishes to conquer Poland and force it into a new Russian military alliance https://t.co/Eo0M7MfV6J

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden's explanation of an "endgame" is just as muddled and incoherent as two years ago. (In short, there effectively is no "endgame." It's just: keep incrementally escalating and hope for the best. No "occupation" of any kind in Ukraine would have to mean the total expulsion of all Russian forces from all of NATO territory. That warms the hearts of the most fanatical Ukrainians, but few others who have any reality-based understanding of the war. And in fact, the fanatical Ukrainians are increasingly annoyed with Biden because they still don't think he's escalating US involvement aggressively enough. So he pleases no one here. Not to mention the little addition that Russia is also on course to conquer the Balkans and Belarus (?), the latter of which Putin would not have to conquer because his lackey Lukashenko already runs the country, and is forging closer and closer military/political ties with Putin

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Moving to Israel, Biden claims "the Israelis desperately want a ceasefire," which everyone with a straight face should laugh at. There are certain elements that want a ceasefire in Israel, but they have little or no influence on the ruling coalition. This is just a setup so the continuation of hostilities can be pinned solely on Hamas. It's the reverse of the Ukraine situation, where now Biden has to demonstrate how unremittingly pro-Israel he is, despite attacks from Trump and the GOP of abandoning Israel. So he has to counter another fiction, just like Trump countering the fiction that he's against NATO

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden says Israel is not using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare, even though we have a direct quote from the Israeli Defense Minister and war cabinet member stating unequivocally: "There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed." https://t.co/wtrWUqdd18

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden says he's not going to comment on whether Netanyahu is prolonging the war for his own political self-preservation, and then says there's "every reason" for people to think Bibi is doing that. This is the Schumer tack of over-personalizing the war around the figure of Bibi https://t.co/0nTjnYKXSr

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Next, Biden seems to reflexively rise to the defense of Bibi from Trump's incredibly mild, inconsequential criticism that he has some vague responsibility for the Oct. 7 attack. He then transitions to the standard "two-state solution" pablum. Again, pleasing no one, angering all https://t.co/HvFdvpCzgS

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Moving on, Biden seems to think one of his great accomplishments is encouraging the re-militarization of Japan, just like everyone is supposed to cheer the re-militarization of Germany. Despite the historical ironies, that's another area where Biden and Trump can sing kumbaya https://t.co/PGPI3DtqEi

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

This is one of the most ominous lines. Biden tries to garble out a position on whether US military forces will fight China over Taiwan. His attempted articulation of the policy is a sputtering mess. "Strategic ambiguity" for Biden now appears to mean "basic verbal incapacity" https://t.co/tvQliGXWQs

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Biden says he spoke on the phone with HENRY KISSINGER ten days before Kissinger died last November. So that's a heartwarming official confirmation that Kissinger consulted with every president going back to George Washington or something https://t.co/3IkDx5Av6M

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Last but not least, Biden says: "All the bad guys are rooting for Trump, man." In addition to being pure stupidity, this ensures the Trump/Biden dynamic will be a dumbed-down food fight over who's Toughest on the Bad Guys. In other words: who's the most mindlessly belligerent https://t.co/tF5OglNW9N

Speaker 0: Joining me now, senator John McCain, who I know, senator, you have just addressed the crowd of protesters there yourself in in Kyiv. What what is it you you're trying to do here? Speaker 1: Hopefully, what we are trying to do is bring about a peaceful transition here that, would stop the violence, would give the Ukrainian people, what they unfortunately have not with different rev revolutions that have taken place, a real legitimate society. This is a grassroots revolution here. It's been peaceful except for when the government tried to crack down on them, and the government hasn't done that since. But I'm praising, their their ability and their desire to demonstrate peacefully for change that, I think they deserve. Speaker 0: Let me ask you this about the US role. I know that you have wanted, the administration, perhaps to consider sanctions, something to help boost, the anti government protesters. Question to you is while we're trying to work on so many things with the Russians, for instance, with Iran and, in Syria, is this really a good time for the US to be taking on, Russia? Speaker 1: Well, I don't think that we would be taking on Russia. And by the way, I am very pleased with secretary Kerry's statement, our, deputy secretary Victoria Nuland who was here. Look, the these people love the United States of America. They love freedom, and I don't think you could view this as anything but our traditional support, for people who want free and democratic society. We're not talking about military action. We're not talking about blockades. We are talking about the possibility of sanctions if they continue to brutally repress their people. That that would require some action on our part just because that's what the United States of America is all about.

Speaker 0: Donald Trump was sworn in as president amidst a storm of allegations of Russian interference in his election. Speaker 1: After the election, I call, to White House for congratulate Trump. And, definitely, I try to be prepared for this, phone conversation because I doubt that Ukraine was among his first priority. My message to the Trump was exactly like this from the very fast phone conversation. Don't trust Speaker 2: Putin. Speaker 0: Since Russia's invasion of Crimea 3 years earlier, Ukraine had been lobbying America to send its Javelin anti tank missiles. President Obama had refused, wary of escalating tensions with Russia. Now Horischenko had a chance to Pitch it to Trump. Speaker 2: You could see that Poroshenko was literally sweating And very nervous. You know, the look on his face, I won't forget that as he move forward into office full of trepidation because so much is riding on this. Speaker 1: At that time, we have the Russian occupation. At that time, the Crimea was occupied. At that time, Donbas was occupied. Speaker 3: Would you like to say so? Speaker 1: That's a great honor a great pleasure to be together with you, James Krausha, one of the most reliable, supportive, And, partner, strategic partner for Ukraine. Speaker 4: President was very welcoming to Poroshenko, and Poroshenko, you know, of course, was a successful businessman. You know, Trump was a successful businessman. I think that they kind of hit it off. Speaker 3: And it's a great honor To have you, mister president. Thank you. Thank you Speaker 1: very much. I said, mister president, lethal weapons. We need lethal weapons. Javelin is an anti tank, very effective weapons. Speaker 4: President Poroshenko was able to show the effect the Russian aggression was continuing to have On the Ukrainian people, Ukrainian Armed Forces, I think president Trump recognized that Ukraine was under serious duress, And it would require some deterrent capabilities. Speaker 1: I'm proud with the, on my back that was wings That, I go out from the Oval Cabinet with the direct promises of the president Trump for the javelin. That was a great day. Speaker 0: But it wasn't that simple. Trump still hadn't signed off on a deal when he flew to a g twenty summit 2 weeks later. Here, he would have his first face to face meeting with Vladimir Putin. Speaker 2: We were Getting, you know, suggestions, from the Russians and from president Putin that they would obviously be pretty hostile If there were any transfers of weaponry, particularly the Javelin anti tank weapons to Ukraine. Speaker 5: There was sensitivity on the part of the president that anything we do would do to help Ukraine would anger, Russia. And, of course, he was very interested in being friends, for lack of a better term with president Putin. Speaker 3: We look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, for the United States, And for everybody concerned, the Putin Speaker 4: Trump really labored under the delusion that a good personal relationship with Putin would moderate Putin's behavior. Speaker 5: Here we go. Speaker 6: Thank you. Here we go. Speaker 3: Thank you. Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Speaker 3: Thank you. Speaker 2: Thank you all. Later in a phone call, president Putin told president Trump, If you supply the Ukrainians with weapons, they will ask for more. The Russians clearly didn't understand why it was that Ukraine might have any importance to United States in a foreign policy and security sense. Very dismissive. What's Ukraine to you? Why are you so concerned about Ukraine? Speaker 0: 2 days after Trump's meeting with Putin, His new envoy to Ukraine was sent to assess the situation on the ground. There had been sporadic fighting since the Russian invasion 3 years earlier. Speaker 6: We flew very low and very fast Across Eastern Ukraine, we went to an apartment building. Everything had been shot out. You could look over the line of contact and see the Russian forces on the other side. The Ukrainians showed where the Russian tanks are and say that we we can't have the tanks this close. If they move towards us, we need to be able to take them out. They said that we need these, lethal defensive arms as quickly as possible. Speaker 0: Back in Washington, Volker joined Trump's national security team in trying to convince the president. Speaker 6: I said Russia is using all kinds of offensive arms inside Ukrainian territory to kill Ukrainians. So from both a moral and a defensive and a diplomatic perspective, you needed to actually provide these lethal defensive weapons. Speaker 5: They said not a Russian tank was gonna be hurt by a Javelin missile if it didn't attack Ukraine. There wasn't a Russian infantryman that would be injured or killed by American provided ammunition if they didn't attack the sovereign country of Ukraine. Speaker 4: I tried to make the case that it's actually weakness that provokes Russia. And I believe that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 because Putin said, I can get away with it. The Americans won't do anything. So I think the provision of of defensive cables of Ukraine was important to establish or or reestablish deterrence of Russia. President Trump agreed. Speaker 0: At the end of that year, Trump finally signed the order to send lethal weapons to Ukraine. Speaker 3: Our reaction to this decision that has been taken president Trump that, Americans has crossed the line. He was told into sending these javelins. Speaker 7: And, of course, it was Speaker 3: only the beginning of Arming, Ukraine, the beginning of a very dangerous pass.

Speaker 0: What's happening in Israel right now is extremely, serious, important and biblically significant. This is something that's not going away, this is bible prophecy. I've been teaching on bible prophecy for 41 years, I've been studying it for 48 years, and it's something that's always intrigued me and one of the things that Jesus said about the end times, and we're definitely living in the end times. He says like birth pains, and every woman knows that birth pains don't get better, they get worse. Until something is birth. They also are closer together, and what we're seeing in the world is just an increasing intensity to world events, especially related to Israel, and Israel is ground zero for the end times. The end times couldn't even happen without Israel existing as a nation. And when they were reborn in 1948, it was an absolute miracle, but it was also an end time sign that the end had begun. American forces, we have sent and I'm thankful that we have sent a very strong military presence to Israel. We have the USS Gerald R Ford carrier strike group in the Mediterranean. We have the USS Dwight D Eisenhower strike group in the Persian Gulf. These are very very powerful naval and military Gulf. These are very very powerful naval and military assets in that area. We have warships throughout that area, we have atomic subs through that nuclear subs through that area. They don't disclose locations of those, but we have very very strong military assets there to support Israel, which is really the only reason I believe that Hezbollah has not attacked, from the north more than they have. They're firing missiles, but Nothing like they have the potential of doing. Our bases, American military bases in Syria and Iraq have been struck dozens of times. We have American military personnel who have been injured, none killed today, but last This week, US fighter planes struck a munitions depot in Syria, which is controlled by Iran. And that's the 1st time we've had direct military engagement, but we have told Hezbollah and Iran and the militias in Syria that if They strike Israel, we will respond to protect Israel, and I'm very thankful for the American military presence there. And so and so there's an Ezekiel 38 and 39 war that's gonna happen, and it is Russia, Iran, Turkey, the Sudan, in Libya. Those are the main players in the Ezekiel 30 8, 39 war. All of those nations have galvanized in the last several weeks against Israel and each other. This this coalition has been building for many years. Isn't it amazing that 25, 27, 28 100 years ago, the prophets in the Bible told us exactly the world would look like right now. Geopolitically right now the world looks identically the way the Bible said would happen at the end. It isn't So interesting that the Bible says at the very end the whole world would turn against Israel. I'm a read a scripture here in just a minute that'll show that now. What do you see in the news every day? The whole world turning against Israel, but there's gonna be some wars. What I what is happening right now in Israel is a fulfillment, I believe of Psalm 83. The Psalm 83 war, when all of the surrounding nations of Israel come against them and say, let us cut off Israel that they'll be a nation no more. And it says, Philistia is one of those nations, that's Gaza. It says, Assyria is one of those nations, that's Syria. So all these surrounding is Psalm 83, That's war, of course, Ezekiel 38, 39, the Gog and Magog war, that's also gonna happen at some point in time here soon, and all of the players are there. They're on the northern border. Iran, Russia, the United States has bases there, but also Turkey. Those forces are on the northern border of Israel and Iran is trying to build a military fortification on the northern border to attack them, and Israel strikes them every day with her with her jets. And so we're gonna see some wars, but the next thing that's gonna happen, because I know a lot of people are anxious. Well, let me say this. Jesus said, when you see these things begin to happen. Look up and lift up your head, your redemption draws near. So here's the good news, Jesus is coming. That's what that's the good news. Jesus is coming, And as believers we need to remember that, but the other thing is the Antichrist is coming.

Speaker 0: Now we can't allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine, because I don't believe it would stop there. And it would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan. We have these concerns. We're we're not going to abandon them. We we want to be cooperative. We need to work together on this, but we we owe it to the people people to know what the plan is, where the money is gonna be spent, and we need some auditing for the dollars that we've already sent over there. These are not tough questions. Right? One thing that House Republicans are resolved on is that we must stand with our most important ally in the Middle East, and that's Israel. We will. We certainly hope that it doesn't come to boots on the ground. If if it comes to that, and we communicated this to the White House staff as well today, that, you know, we have the article one power in the legislative branch of government, and they have article do a very limited authority on what they can do to respond without coming to congress to seek consent. And even my democrat colleagues, Sean that are, committees or jurisdiction understand this and the foreign affairs committee. Speaker 1: And you've had comments made by the leaders of Iran That they themselves may get involved in a conflict. If that happens, correct me if you think I'm wrong. I would bet I would say all bets are off in the Middle East. We could have a full out war in the Middle East, Israel at the center of it. And at that point, if Israel's existence is put in jeopardy, I don't think prime minister Netanyahu, who I've known for almost 30 years, I don't think there's anything he won't do to preserve and protect his country from people that have committed their lives to destroy it. Speaker 0: He has to do that. And around here people throw around the phrase existential threat. They have an existential threat every day. I mean their neighbors want to eliminate them, and wipe them off the map. So prime minister Netanyahu is resolved. I've spent time with him personally. I know him as well. I I think he's a strong leader at at this important time, and I I think he's gonna do what is necessary. And and that America will back him up. I mean, they tell us when we're in Israel and you've been there, they they say the reason that we are able to sustain ourselves and survive is because everyone knows that our big ally is America. We know that Iran is directly tied to all this. These are Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran. And they're tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That's how we see it, and so it has to be addressed accordingly. Speaker 1: If Israel, with all the funding of terror, and all these terror organizations, are they within their right to fight back and work directly at Iran? Speaker 0: Of course, that was the fir as you noted, the 1st act of my speakership is that we passed that resolution to articulate that, make it very clear where we stand. The house is back in business, and we're gonna stand with Israel.

X sues CA Attorney General over regulatory requirement for political speech. Bill inspired by study linking tweets to hate crimes. CA legislators pass new social media regulations based on garbled study findings. No causality established, but used to push for discrimination surveillance. NYU study dictates online political speech. Satisfying lawsuit filed by X.

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

"X" just sued the CA Attorney General over a new regulatory requirement "X" says would unconstitutionally compel protected political speech. The bill's sponsor was originally inspired by a "study of Twitter posts" that tied a "greater proportion of tweets" to "more hate crimes"

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

It's a little hard to believe how dumb this is. California has enacted a first-of-its-kind regulatory scheme for social media platforms, and the original impetus was in part a "study of Twitter posts," important findings of which are presented via such remarkable diagrams as this

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

Here's an agglomeration of words in the study California legislators say drove them to pass a major new regulatory framework for social media. "Spatially diverse training data set of social media discrimination" is such pristinely garbled prose, it's almost a thing of beauty

@mtracey - Michael Tracey

The study authors employed their skills of visual inspection and discovered that certain cities "are known for various reasons" to have a higher number of hate crimes. This changes everything

@mtracey - Michael Tracey
