Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo now in focus.
And I want to ask you,
let's start there. So 46 U.S.
military men and women hurt,
38 attacks. One dead killed US contractor.
And we responded back on October 26th,
sending in two planes and dropped a couple of things.
Harris, it's great to be with you.
Your voice is exactly, I can hear it in your
voice.
This is nothing in the eyes of the Ayatollah,
in the eyes of President Raisi,
in the eyes of Connie,
the leader of the IRGC,
external terror plotters that they see us shooting at 2
empty warehouses as literally nothing.
It's a green light for them to continue this aggression.
And I think Harris, if we don't respond forcefully,
not just against the proxies themselves,
right? It's just if we fire at knuckleheads that are
out in the desert and don't take on the Iranian
leadership itself,
don't get serious about responding to the
the provocateur, the person who's underwriting,
training, providing all of the instruments of power that killed
Americans on October 7th
resulted in the death of an American yesterday,
right? All of the things.
If we don't get those right,
if we just, if we are weak,
we will continue to provoke and we will increase the
risk to every American in the United States.
Look, being weak, kneed at this point is to ignore
the facts.
And I remember under former President Donald Trump that when
it was time,
in his estimation, a red line,
when it was time to hit Syria,
he hit him with Tomahawk missiles.
I mean this, this, it was proportionality there off a
battleship.
I I don't know what we're doing now.
He's ignoring the facts. The president of the United States.
No, no, that's that's right.
He's ignoring the facts. And it's important,
too. President Biden has said he'll respond
in the same way in the Trump administration.
We said if you do X,
we'll do Y. When you tell them,
you'll respond and you don't.
Whether that is the Obamas failure to fire missiles into
Syria,
when he said that he would.
When when those red lines are crossed and you do
nothing,
the bad guys are going to move around the cabin.
They're going to do enormous harm,
and I'm very worried about what could be happening inside
of our own country.
We've got an open southern border and an Ayatollah in
Iran being supported by the Chinese Communist Party and Russia
who are feeling their oats and they feel that there
is no cost to their actions when they attack Americans
got to get serious about this.
We know how to do it.
We have all the tools to do this,
Eris. We just need a leadership that is prepared to
deter the Iranian regime.
Well, look in the earlier you do that,
the better off we are.
Fewer of our people have to die and and be
harmed.
A Politico has gotten a leaked memo in which State
Department staffers are going after Bidens administrations handling of the
Israel Hamas war.
It's marked a sensitive but unclassified document and reads in
part.
We must publicly criticize Israel's violations of international norms,
such as a failure to limit offensive operations to legitimate
military targets,
the message also states. When Israel supports settler violence and
illegal land seizures or employs excessive use of force against
Palestinians,
we must communicate publicly that this goes against our American
values so that Israel does not act with impunity.
What do you make of that,
Harris? I wish, I wish I could tell you I'm
surprised.
But having LED that organization,
the State Department, this is the
AOC, Rasheeda Talib wing of the State Department,
right? These are these are classic appeasers who don't understand
that the Israelis are acting in self-defense.
They are taking out a terror threat that killed
1400 of their citizens. They have not only the right
to do it,
but an obligation to do it.
And so I saw this at the State Department during
my thousand days as Secretary of State.
There is a progressive element that sits inside of that
organization,
that pulls and pulls and pulls.
And we've already seen apparently one senior person quit.
You know, frankly, I hope folks who don't understand how
to act in America's interest,
I hope they'll all decide that they're no longer,
they no longer want to be part of an important
institution,
the United States diplomatic corps.
If only they could be woke to that
you just wake up one morning and decide job change.
Wow. Thank you, Rashida to leave lane at the state
Department.
That's troubling secretary. Thank you.
