They're in the wrong, and we are actually moving to Speaker 0: the position where we think Speaker 1: there should be limits on it. And and there's a part that's actually talking to you. Where is the Republican Party? This is a co equal branch of government. It's very easy to be kicking people inside the tent. But let's recognize that there's also another part of this government, a view that control the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate. So let's work together. Let's remember that these can't be better. These are never gonna get better if the Republicans are in charge.

New: Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego says he would’ve voted against Bernie’s resolutions last week to block weapon sales to Israel — but now, says he’s “re-evaluating.” He says that going forward, he’s looking at conditioning aid, if Israel crosses his “red line” and occupies Gaza https://t.co/4nrd52SpXF

Video Transcript AI Summary
Speaker 1 explains that he was returning home to a seven-week-old son when the vote occurred and, with the information I have now, "I would have voted against that resolution with the information I have now." He calls the situation "horrible" for hospitals and civilians and urges Nihayan Wu to lift the siege of Gaza. He adds, "I was in the military. I'm a proud Marine," and that "it was my responsibility when I was in war, no matter what, to take care of all slaveholders." Looking ahead, "we will start looking at conditioning aid going forward." The immediate goal is to "get the hostage back," but he warns against "a full occupation of Gaza"—"the reoccupation of Gaza is a line that I'm not going to cross"—and says, "Nayanu is an awful awful man." He notes that "the worst situation... is a war with Donald Trump and then Ian Agu are both there."

We're just gonna try to get the hostage back. Now they're talking about a few full full occupation of Gaza, and that has been a red line for me, and I say that publicly. And so that does Palestinians. It's horrible for these families. Nayanu is an awful awful man. I worst situation you've been we could have ever been in, by the way, is a war with Donald Trump and then Ian Agu are both there. But it it does have to end, and we are now gonna have to look further about how we're going to build going to the future because now the situation has changed.

I shared a disturbing video highlighting a popular Israeli TV channel that receives government funding and is accused of inciting violence. A coalition in Israel is urging the Supreme Court to investigate Channel 14 for promoting genocide, drawing parallels to the infamous RTLM station from the Rwandan genocide. The situation raises serious concerns about media influence and responsibility in times of conflict.

@prem_thakker - Prem Thakker

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel — a channel that gets special financial benefits from the Israeli government, which itself gets billions from US taxpayers. (Full story in replies)

The US State Department spokesperson emphasized the importance of the President's words in leveraging influence. A question was raised about whether Israel should be held accountable for its actions in Gaza, similar to how Russia is expected to pay for damage caused in Ukraine. The spokesperson suggested that if Israel allows a path to a Palestinian state, it may avoid the need to pay for damages. When asked if the US would strip aid to Israel, the response was that the US will continue to support Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas. The spokesperson did not engage in hypotheticals but stated that consistent communication has been maintained to protect civilians.

Speaker 0: They're all conflicts. And and and and I and I realize that World War 2 is over and, and and the Ukraine war is not over, but they neither is the Gaza war. And you're saying that Russia right now has to pay for the damage that it caused in Ukraine. So I've just said wondering, would you say the same that that that that that Israel should pay for at least some of the damage that it it it has caused So in Gaza even though it's fighting, you know, for what you say is a completely justifiable or what is a completely Speaker 1: So what I would say on that matter is that 1 of the things that we have heard as or through the secretary's diplomacy in the region is that there are countries who are ready to step up and help pay for the reconstruction of Gaza. I don't mean Israel. Other countries who are willing to step up and help with the reconstruction of Gaza and put real money into the game as well as real, you know, political political, credibility. But that's that's another matter on another track. But just with respect to reconstruction, there are other countries who are willing to recontribute or contribute to Speaker 0: the No. No. Recontribute is right because they've already rebuilt Gaza for 3 times. Right? And and so Let Speaker 1: let me just finish. But let me but Israel Speaker 0: is not 1 of Speaker 1: those countries. Let me just finish. Our discussions have been about other countries who are willing to contribute, to the rebuilding of Gaza. But they expect something from Israel in return, and that's what we've talked about this path to to 2 states. Speaker 0: So so Money. Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna get into the hypothetical because we think the policy that we ought to pursue is this path that the secretary has laid out that would lead to the rebuilding of Gaza, and would avoid the question that you are, putting on the table. Speaker 0: No. It's, Speaker 1: I I'm saying I'm saying Speaker 0: avoid the question. Someone's gotta pay for it. Speaker 1: No. No. I'm saying it avoids the question of Israel having to pay for it. What the the the path that we think forward is is the 1 that we've put on the table. Speaker 0: So do you think that path would would would Well, I I Israel or that It Speaker 1: would certainly information from me. I I do not wanna say any we are we are fully well down the path that we have not hardly even started walking at this point. Well, certainly Speaker 0: But certainly you could say the same thing about Ukraine. That that war is not over yet either. Speaker 1: Bring other it countries to the table. Speaker 0: Yeah. But okay. But how about Israel? Do they do they Speaker 1: Again, I said we are not at that point yet in these conversations.

You talk about an obligation to protect civilians. The president has talked about over the top indiscriminate bombings. Is there anything would there be any consequences? Would the US policy change, or is it support no matter what? Speaker 1: I just won't get ahead of where we are right now, and I'm certainly not engaged hypotheticals. We wanna make sure Israel can continue to defend itself. We wanna make sure that humanitarian assistance continues to flow to the people of Gaza. And by no means has there been enough. There needs to be more. And we wanna get all those hostages home. We believe that the best way to accomplish those 3 goals is to get an extended pause in place. To bring the violence down, to get people out and get aid in. And that's what we're focused on. And I I get the I get the thrust of the question. I'm just not gonna engage in hypotheticals about changes in Speaker 0: I'm concerned that you can give to the Israelis to to help protect the civilians. Speaker 1: We have communicated, again, consistently and stridently since the beginning of the conflict.
