to health care and medical treatment. that's a consequence of the history of what amounts to a situation or racial wedge. there is a lot of opportunity to the callers point for learning these histories in ways for people to actually come together to make this country a healthier, more productive, safer, environmentally sound place if we can stop allowing racism to be used as a wedge against us. teaching these histories, the reason why some of my republican opponents but people in that committee who work with republicans blaming me for teaching about racism, the reason they don't want this is in part the way you make a dividing strategy work is to keep people uneducated and ignorant about how the world actually came to be. host: all right, professor of history race and public policy,

we appreciate you joining us this morning. guest: thanks for having me. host: that's all the time we got for today's "washington journal ." we will be back tomorrow morning at 7 a.m. eastern as usual but don't go anywhere because we will take you now to live coverage of the conservative political action conference known as cpac. dave mccormick is scheduled to speak alongside david milstein, a former special assistant to the u.s. ambassador to israel. the panel is called saving bethlehem and it's about to begin. [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2024] >> that's why i'm running. i'm honored to do it and i'm in the race. [laughter] [applause] >> one of the biggest and most disastrous policies of the biden administration is facilitating the open border. what we are seeing on the northern and southern border is not just over 8 million illegal

immigrants coming into the country, it's also people coming from china, russia, the middle east, people who are not being vetted. we talked about how border security is national security. why is this one of the beat -- biggest reasons why you decided to run and one of your biggest priorities when you get to the senate? >> if you think about the national security crisis we are experiencing, 160 people apprehended that work on the terrorist watch list. it took 13 to take down the towers of 9/11 but it's far more than that. it's the scourge of fentanyl which is destroying our communities. i went to the border in 2022 and i literally could look at the other side of the rio grande and they would point to the cartel members pushing people across. that fentanyl takes about 48 hours and the cartels have it in northeastern pennsylvania. lucerne county is the worst county per capita in the country

for fentanyl deaths. this is a crisis of epic proportions. 5000 pennsylvanians last year, 100, this is a national security crisis. if you were an adversary and sitting in beijing or tehran or moscow and you are saying how do we mess with americans, you would invent something called fentanyl, ship it to mexico and manufacture it and send it across the border and you would have it undermine and destroy our communities across america and kill americans. that's what's happening and we need to treat it as the war that it is including not just shutting down the border that we should have done from day one but i also think we should consider using military force to go after those cartels. this is a war and we need to treat it as such. [applause] >> you are running to politically defeat the current

senator. what is his record on his? >> bob casey's record in general is a man of in action. and arguably the most consequential state in the country, this is where the country was born, this is the battleground state that will determine the presidency, pennsylvania. we have a senator that has no leadership is not done a single thing from a legislative standpoint but more than that, he has voted with biden 98% of the time. when you look at inflation, when you look at a wide open border, when you look at the weakness we've shown abroad, when you look at legislation proposing biological males to compete against my six daughters in school with biological females, bob casey has been there every step of the way. that's why i'm going to win and that's why we are going to win in 2024. [applause] >> one of the many issues that

is near and dear to my heart and countless americans is what's going on in israel and the importance of americans unequivocally supporting israel. on october 7, israel suffered the deadliest and most heinous atrocities committed against jews since the holocaust. hamas which is backed by iran was able to unfortunately a massacre, rape, burn alive, decapitate, the worst people you can possibly imagine, over 1200 innocent people. they kidnapped barbaric late over 200 people. by the way, it's not just israelis. it was not just an attack on israel but an attack on americans in western civilization. there were countless americans who were massacred and there were a number of americans who were kidnapped and there still are over six americans being held hostage by hamas. you did something that i will forever appreciate and countless

americans will which is you and your wife actually chose to go to israel i think last month. you could see first-hand what took place. can you tell us about that? >> it was really heartbreaking in every way. i thought president trump had made such a norm as strides by moving the embassy to jerusalem. my wife had the honor of being part of the team that was able -- it was a monumental achievement in the middle east. we wanted to go to see for ourselves what had happened and to show solidarity with the people of israel. we landed and went to kafar, one of the communities and 800 in that committee, 100 were massacred on that day. you see the bullet holes on the street and the blood on the furniture in the home. there is a safe room where a

young woman and her boyfriend were texting back and forth with her father before they were slaughtered. parents were killed in front of their children. people were decapitated. you cannot believe the level of people. we met with a young woman who was at the music festival that day and was in at one of the bond shelters and was shot through the knee and fell down and her parents fell on top of her and they were killed in the terrorist but she was dead and that's how she survived. we met with hostage families. we watch this horrible video taken from the body cams of the terrorist. we spent time as they talked about press getting the war. you can't imagine this level of people in the world. it is beyond everything you think about but when you see it, you can't imagine the people that exists that would do such a thing. that evil is not just directed to israel, is directed against the west. it's directed against all of us.

it absolutely has to be eradicated. hamas has to be eradicated and that people has to be combated. [applause] >> the second thing is we need to support israel completely in its need to do that. [applause] >> imagine if forces came across the border from mexico and killed 1200 texans? imagine what would we be doing in response. we need to give israel our full support. i have complete confidence they will prosecute this in a way that's both morally right and also fulfilling its obligation to ensure that people who want to slit their throats don't sleep 600 meters across the border. the third thing which we can turn away from is the original sin, the original sin is iran. this isn't just hamas. this is all part of a terrorist

network that's being underwritten by the $100 billion of resources that obama, biden and a senator named bob casey who was a deciding vote has put in place. iran has to be stopped. iran has to be strangled. [applause] >> we have to confront this evil. it's coming after us. >> absolutely, and there is a lot of pressure as everyone knows with the left-wing very anti-israel and very anti-american that we tried to slander israel. it's important for every buddy to know and i'm sure you know this and have seen it, there may be no other country in the world besides america that goes to such unprecedented lengths to target the bad guys and avoid civilian casualties. >> yeah. >> you are talking about a ruthless enemy getting back by iran that deliberately hides

among civilians in hospitals and schools and mosques, firing at israel from civilian areas which is a double war crime and it's a triple war crime when you also attack israeli civilians. what are some of the things you learned over there? >> i'm a west point graduate and i served in iraq and the 82nd airborne division. the toughest mission is this urban warfare where you work rooting out these terrorists block by block and street by street and room by room. imagine that mission and imagine a whole city underneath the ground of people. -- of people. -- of people. o f evil. this is a difficult mission and needs to be done with a lot of care and these really forces are going there. we sat with idf soldiers and

they told us that double authentication they did. they are targeting only the terrorism is great care being taken, but remember what happened. we have a terrorist group that is integrating itself into the civilian population. we have a terrorist in human -- in a muscle or blocking humanitarian aid for women and children. instead of blocking those corridors, we want people to get out. this lies at the feet of hamas in terms of the terrible crisis we are experiencing and i have every confidence that is really forces are prosecuting that with both effectiveness and honor. [applause] >> one of the many disastrous consequences of october 7 is the rise, the further rise of anti-semitism we have seen across the world. we seen it on our streets in terms of vandalism against jewish owned businesses, we seem

pro-hamas demonstrations. we've seen anti-semitic discrimination targeting jewish citizens on campuses. what has bob casey done in any of these issues? isn't it time we bring real accountability to our college universities to defund them and revoke their tax-exempt status? >> what happened on campuses after october 7 is emblematic of the spiritual crisis across america. the recognition of right versus wrong, the moral clarity of academic america that we need to fight to defend individual freedoms. this is emblematic of a huge problem where the left is really defined our society in terms of the oppressed and oppressors. that finds its way into everything. you say how could it be? how could we see our kids, jewish children staying in the rooms in colleges because they fear their safety?

how could that be? how could that happen? then you watch the testimony of those three presidents and you say that's how it happened. that's how it happened. we have leaders in bob casey is a perfect example of this, who won't stand up and say the difference between right and wrong, who won't push back against these progressive ideologies that are taking our country over a cliff. we need to shake things up in a dramatic way and that's what i would do in washington. there is enormous benefits that come with the tax exemption universities get on these endowments. it's billions of dollars, they shouldn't get that if they shouldn't proclaim a basic principle. [applause] >> we are not crying just trying to great say places but a place where everybody can speak and feel safe. second, they get enormous federal dollars to conduct research, it's a huge part of these universities and that should be predicated on our universities carrying out the true meritocracy of ideas as

opposed to the crazy lefty stuff we see today. i think we need leaders who will push on that. bob casey is the opposite. when liz mcgill, the president of penn showed her lack of leadership, i said fire her. bob casey waited and said we probably need to make a change at some point. that's what you get with bob casey. my mom is from punxsutawney i'd say on the campaign trail that bob reminds me of punxsutawney phil. he pokes his head out of his hole every six years and that's what's happening now with punxsutawney bob. [applause] >> in a few minutes we have remaining, i wanted to ask you one or two questions about the biggest national security and geopolitical economic threat this country faces which comes from china and the ccp. this is a big issue. it's a big issue for pennsylvanians but also for our country.

what do you think we should do about china? >> i think the best thing we can do to ensure our adversaries aren't testing us and challenging us is to show strength. we have a president in joe biden that is showing weakness. we have lost deterrence. we had deterrence under president trump. we had a leader where people said we better be careful about messing with the united states. we're not sure what we will get. deterrence is having ability, will and it's keeping them guessing. biden has lost the capability and hasn't shown the will and he does the opposite. he forecast exactly what he will do and that's our biggest problem and that's why we are being tested. we are being and tested in europe with russia in ukraine and we are being tested in china and iran because they perceived weakness. we all grow up on the playground. if the bully perceives weakness, they will push.

with china, we've been weak for too long. we've had 20 years, most of them bipartisan of hoping that china would come around. what happened with president xi 's they made their motivations clear which is to become a techno-authoritarian leader of the world. the new superpower of the world and -- at america's expense. i've laid out a clear path which is we need to up the ante. bob casey has not done this so we need to up the ante and band china's extra protections that permits normal trade relations. the wto hasn't played by the rules. we need to get china thrown out of the world health organization. [applause] >> can you believe we still don't know the origins of covid? here we are with millions of people killed, trillions of dollars and china has not been transparent at all of what happened in wuhan.

can you believe they are strategically buying farmland across america? we should ban that and stop letting companies [applause] >> invest in china in ways that it supports the pla and the comet's party. we need to show leadership and show china that there are consequences for bad behavior and we need to reduce our dependency on china and that's what i will do as a senator on the first day. [applause] >> i think we are about finished so thank you cpac for having us. please visit dave's website. on a personal note, i help support him because we have to retake the senate and pennsylvania's ground zero for that. thank you, everybody.

a gallon of gas average more than five dollars for the first time and biden drained our strategic petroleum preserves and look the other way on iran oil sanctions and begged other nations to produce more oil not to mention threaten to take away your car, your gas stove in hot water heater. as the election nears, stay tuned for more updates because in 2024, energy is on the ballot. ♪ >> ladies and gentlemen, please welcome chairman of cpac japan, jay ieba, accompanied by his interpreter matt noyse. ♪ >> hello, cpac. hello, conservatives.

[laughter] >> thank you for joining us today. we will talk with this distinguished panel about three different topics. the democrats'unprecedented, i call republic ending welfare against president trump, his top aides and supporters and parents and christians. we will talk about big tech, google, amazon, facebook and apple and why they are a major problem in america and we will

talk about immigration. we have 26 minutes to get through with three very big topic so we will start with the welfare. president trump right now faces 91 charges from four different democrat prosecutions across america, 700 years in prison for non-crimes. the non-crime of objecting to a presidential election, the non-crime of paying back, the non-crime of paying back sophisticated wall street banks on time and full with interest. that's the civil law street -- lawsuit. we see alvin bragg, the soros appointed d.a. bringing unprecedented indictments against president trump for settling a nuisance claim and they've somehow turned that into

the first indictment ever against a former president and future president of the united states. we have an attorney general from texas ken paxton [applause] we have a future attorney general from north carolina, dan bishop, our great congressman [applause] >> and then we have all-star stephen miller [applause] that's our panel today and let's start with general paxton. what should we be doing in response to this unprecedented welfare against president trump, his top supporters, his attorneys, january 6 supporters, parents and christians, you are the victim of this welfare in texas where you had the house speaker impeaching you for non-crime so how will we fight back? >> you said 700 how many years?

mine is only 204. i am on the low end. the democrats always support their own whether they are guilty or not guilty. republicans tend to distance themselves from any kind of controversy related to legal and we can't do that anymore. not only do we have to embrace our people, but we have to support them financially and with our words. we can't run from it because they are destroying us with the legal system. the way the legal system is structured, they send you to court in liberal counties with liberal judges, liberal juries all the way up the line. instead of applying the law, they apply politics and your name is all that matters. if your name is donald, your guilty, if your name is ken paxton, your guilty. i won't name anyone else but that's the way it works. we don't stand behind their own people, they will take everybody down that stands up for the people. >> i would say this about ken

paxton, he is a target because he's been the tip of the spear leading the effort to hold big tech accountable [applause] > he's been the tip of the spear on immigration. they are trying to take him out. i joke that i will be trump's attorney general which is not possible because there is that pesky thing called senate confirmation. ken paxton would be a fantastic attorney general. [applause] >> key is a future attorney general in north carolina, dan bishop. what would you do about this and how should we respond as a movement? >> we have to fight back. that's what ken paxton's example is been in texas. in north carolina, we elected a republican -- we haven't elected it republican attorney general since 1896. we've been right on the precipice of it.

serving in congress, there is an open seat in north carolina and we need more soldiers on the field who can make a difference like ken has done in texas. the state attorney general tool is one of the most effective the tool bag. we've got to fight back. it's another aspect of what can just said that among people who tend to be conservative, the fact that someone brings a charge, no matter how crazy or how inventive or novel the application of a particular statute to allege a crime, people tend to be repelled or pullback. they pullback and respectful fear or disconnection. when you see the corruption we've seen in the system, that no longer can be the case. we got to lean in. we've also got to use every tool at our disposal to fight them back. that's why i'm going to run for north carolina's attorney general. [applause] >> stephen, what's your response

to this warfare? >> good morning cpac. it's great to see so many people here at this panel today. this is the most important conversation topic i think you could possibly have an american now. the fact that you all here says you understand that. i'm honored to be on this panel with three incredible legal minds and legal warriors. i want to say that let's give around of applause to the future attorney general. [applause] >> the only way out of this nightmare is going to be filling every legal office in this country with dan bishop's and ken paxtons. that's the short answer. this is exactly who should be here for this conversation for that reason. there is something very broken in the conservative brain and has been for a long time.

call it a mental illness, call it a spiritual failing, call it a moral deficiency, call it a weakness or softness or just being pathetic [laughter] >> there is something really broken in the conservative brain. they are afraid not only of conflict, we know that but there is a deeper fear which is having power and using power. conservatives are addicted to the language of libertarianism. which is fine. it's a terrible ideology but in inaccurate -- but in an academic setting, have these debates. in the real world, you elect a d.a. or a judge in judges are elected throughout the country. you elect the state supreme court justice, you elect an attorney general and so on and so forth to have an office with

specific powers, duties and responsibilities with the expectation that they will use that authority to defeat evil, protect the good and accomplish positive change in society. you have to use that power fearlessly. you have to measure your success by what is actually happening in the world. it may seem like a tangential point but it's not. conservatives passed laws all the time that say do this and don't do that area they don't actually change anything in the real world once the laws have been passed.a number of states for example have passed laws saying that you can have this in the curriculum or you can't have that and you can't teachdei and so forth. without exception, i can promise you all the commies in the classroom changed the name of their lecture and change one word, change one little paragraph in the syllabus and did the exact same dam thing every single day because they

are communist and that's what they do. were they arrested? no. did any d.a. anywhere arrest somebody for abusing children with trans ideology? no, we write blog posts about it and as long as that continues to be the case, we will lose the country, we will fail in all we will have is a record of all the times we whined and complained and did actually nothing. until we get serious all the way down to the local d.a. up to the state ag in every office in between including judges, electing people who have power and will use that power and measure their success by changing the real world, then we aren't going to beat the left and that's the honest truth. [applause] >> we have to be smart how we fight back against the left.

right now, there is a bill working its way through the florida legislature. it's well-intentioned and allows , it makes it easier to sue media companies for defamation. the problem is, it sounds great and i'm all about suing cnn and the washington post and the other ideologues that attack on a daily basis. the problem is the left has more trial lawyers, more money and with they will use this law in florida to go after conservative media, christian broadcasters, independent hispanic media outlets who are leftist. that's the problem. you've been pretty vocal, stephen miller. what's your response to this florida bill? >> let's see if i can do this in 30 seconds. we all want to go after the big corporate media. you have to write laws that actually go after the enemy.

neutral laws will be used to crush us. they will be used to obliterate us. look at what new york did when they went ever donald trump. the law was unconstitutional but they changed a lot to go after one man. if you have a lot in florida that says it easier to punish people for defamation, what you think will happen? every left-wing trial lawyer in the country will move to florida and sue the hell out of every conservative influencer and everyone else. write the law so it protects your friends and harms the bad guys. otherwise you are handing them a sword to run through you. [applause] >> congressman, what should we do? >> here's an example of something that is carefully targeted. last summer, the united states supreme court said state attorneys general could no longer sue to hold the d.a. and department of homeland security accountable when secretary

mayorkas brazenly violates immigration law. the supreme court in that same opinion invited congress to confer standing specifically on attorneys general it wanted to do so. the judiciary committee has a bill that will do exactly that, re-extend the power to state attorneys general. that will work well without opening up a pandora's box. >> general paxton, you have been the tip of the spear on the fight against big tech, google, amazon, facebook and apple, and he is the guy who came up with the legal theory to go after online advertising from facebook. they use that money to promote their woke agenda. the use that money to cancel conservatives. he got made fun of this legal theory many years ago when he came up with it, now the biden justice department and attorneys general across the country are going along with general paxton's legal theory.

he has truly been the warrior on big tech. we have a problem with big tech. google, amazon, facebook and apple have gatekeeping power in this country over information and commerce in the use that gatekeeping power to silence conservatives and crush small businesses. we see this where people say if you don't like twitter, build your own so parler came along and what happened? you had google and apple cake parler out of the app store duopoly and amazon kicked parler off the internet. if we did not have a benevolent billionaire with elon musk making this terrible investment and buying twitter, we would not have free speech online in this country. [applause] >> and we shouldn't have to rely on benevolent billionaires to have free speech in this country. that's why what general paxton is doing in texas is important.

we also have amazon. amazon is essentially china's shopping mall. they do china's bidding, they are crushing small businesses in america and they are making a lot of money doing that. amazon has this great image in america we need to change that because, if you think of amazon, think of china. i would put it to you about your fight against big tech and what we need to be doing. >> i had the great opportunity of working with stephen miller when he was in the white house. it was our go to on ideas and we work with the trump administration. he starts off like this and he's like a professor. and then he can take 30 seconds in five minutes later, he's up here and he's like a preacher. i love it. [applause] >> he is truly amazing. i wanted to say one more thing about welfare, it's not just

about the liberals and democrats doing this. i've had more trouble with republicans doing this to me. we need to be aware. the people i'm dealing with in our texas house who let the democrats run things in the karl rove's of the world who enjoy the same kind of push abusing the legal system to take out their enemies, republicans. we need to be aware it's not just liberal democrats doing this. it's some in our own party and we need to hold them accountable. i will say that. [applause] >> you see the same phenomenon in the u.s. house and the congress. republicans have stopped us from seeing the big tech firms are reined in. we have to be able to do it together and fight for something. unity alone absent purpose doesn't accomplish a thing. >> i agree with that. the beginning of my second term,

we've been fighting the obama administration, trump had been elected so i thought that war is over. little did i know, we would have obama 3.0 with joe biden even worse. i knew we needed to figure out what was going on with tech company so i spent months going to palo alto in the silicon valley and talking to professors and technology experts and meeting with the microsoft people that sued -- they got sued for antitrust efforts. out of all of that i think came for lawsuits against google, facebook lawsuit, twitter lawsuit and those have been extreme the effective. the most effective was one no one thought made sense and we called it adtech where google dominates advertising on the intertech -- on the internet, 97%. they make $120 billion per year and they destroy companies and increase prices on consumers and there is no competition. we applied that theory and no

one thought it was legit but here we are four years later even after they tried to move us out of texas to new york, we found a way back that helped us get a bill to allow it to control our own destiny. this loss and it was scheduled against google. we have already had successful lawsuits against them. it won't just take back money they've stolen from us that they bubble -- illegally obtained by being anticompetitive and using unfair trade practices, it's also designed to change the structure of these companies so that that it can't stop us from can indicate, so they don't control our free speech. if the government indirectly can control our speech through these companies, the first amendment is gone. we have to find a way and that's what we are doing. [applause] >> we believe in the free market but that requires a functioning market. if you have these trillion dollar big tech monopolists using their market power to crush competition, shutter small

businesses and cancel conservatives, we don't have a functioning market. we don't have a free market and that's why it's important we have people like general paxton at the tip of the spear for many years going after big tech. i will turn to dan bishop, what would you do as the north carolina attorney general, i presume you will team up with general paxton on these issues? >> absolutely. another example that developed lately -- there's got to be effective working relationships between state attorney general and republicans in congress to reinforce what each other is trying to do. we just saw an event the other day where blackrock and then citigroup bailed out of this organization, this climate 100 organization, to force esg through their dominance of the market. ag's did the same thing. they came out and said this appears to be a violation of american antitrust law. and we will pursue you if you

don't stop. on the judiciary committee, we sent out letters asking for documents and sure enough, they also have scattered like rats leaving the ship. we will keep looking for opportunities like that. we will work closely with other republican attorneys general across the nation. what we are trying to do and what stephen miller has done with america first legal, we are pursuing the law. we are trying to enforce the law, not abuse it by circumventing it through the position of executive authority. whether you see that homeland security or the experiences can has talked about, that has to be stopped and that is ultimately our strength is conservatives. we support the rule of law but we've got to be more aggressive as stephen suggested in getting after it and showing we don't hesitate to use enforcement power to pursue the law. >> it's called the rule of law, not the suggestion of law. [applause] >> conservatives talk about the

phrase rule of law all the time but they forget the first word's rule. when democrats break the law come you bring it smashing down on them. that's the rule of law. [applause] >> we will end with this noncontroversial topic, immigration. [laughter] >> we have president biden importing 10 million people into this country. a lot of these people are unvented, they don't share our values and don't want to assimilate. i will start this with stephen miller who is been the tip of the spear on immigration. what should we be doing in a trump 47 administration to fix this disaster, this invasion of our southern border? >> the immigration issue is extremely simple. the policies involved in fixing it are very complicated. the simple part is seal the border, in -- export all the

illegals. [applause] >> that's the short answer. you get in and you have two policy objectives you proceed with. seal the border. nobody goes in and everyone here goes out.that's very straightforward. in terms of the policy steps to accomplish this is president trump showed in his first term, it's a series of interlocking domestic and foreign policies to a compasses goal. to rattle off a few -- you have your remain in mexico, finish the wall, robust prosecution of illegal aliens, you do interior repatriation back to mexico. it's very important. you reimplement title 42. we have several muscular assets that are been authorities.we did a few of those in the trump administration and you would bring was back in and new ones. you establish large-scale station grounds for removal

flights where you grab illegal immigrants and move them to the staging ground and that's where planes are waiting to remove them to go home. you deputize the national guard to carry out immigration enforcement and you deploy the military to the southern border not just with a mission to observe but with an impedance and denial mission. you reassert the fundamental constitutional principles that you don't have a right to enter into a sovereign territory or even request the asylum claim.the military has the right to establish a position on [applause] >> and all of the things that you laid out we have to have a president to do it and you can

proceed in the way when your candidate is unsure. it's obvious what has to occur in you have to be willing to do it. i look at this panel of wallflowers you won't have any problem. i've never been on a panel where i was the most easy-going guy. this has been clear with our politics and our nation's survival depends on that kind of aggressiveness. >> what we need to do to fix this problem? >> is so obvious we have seen what works under trump enforcing the things he talked about and as soon as day one bite inside

were not deporting anyone. he dismantled remain in mexico and title 42 and wasted the resources to build the wall and paid contractors not to work. catch and release started up again. all of the policy that brought the numbers down, he reversed the policies and those numbers went up. i don't know why the media can't figure this out in joe biden is in partnership with the cartels. this is true. he has told them bring as many people as you possibly can you don't have to hide from us.

unless they are terrorist or really bad criminals. this is exactly what they want, it's all designed by our own government so we are at war with the cartels, the chinese and our own president against the united states. we have to have a new president because this is not working. >> that is the end, thank you so much. ♪

>> there is no question that the iranian parliament came out saying death to israel. they hate our culture and for them they wanted take us down in the fact that you have a commander in cheap hiding in the basement that needs to be out there every single day answering the tough questions instead they say climate change is the most important national security crisis we are facing. they have caved into iran knowing they are funding hezbollah and 700 billion to hamas and hezbollah.

clearly it's about sponsoring terrorism. ladies and gentlemen please welcome mark levin. good morning cpac were so happy to be here this year thank you for having us again. we love coming here and this year we will join us is

jonathan, a hostage in gaza. one of the six americans being held at the hands of the terrorist organization, hamas. we will visit with jonathan and he's going to share with us something any of us has had to relate to. let's jump in because we don't have a lot of time. you moved to israel when you are 18. what made you move to israel? >> i grew up in connecticut in a small town that had a small jewish community. made up in great part of holocaust survivors and my parents were both holocaust

survivors. a zionistic community and several people moved to israel hoping to build a country. i fell in love with the idea of the kubbitz and wanted to make the desert bloom. by 1982i was in israel and got drafted into the army and served until fairly recently by 19 80 five, i started having kids.

those kids came back to live on our kubbitz. my formas about a mile from gaza. my day job for many years was working on the farm as the director of our agriculture machinery department. it's a highly productive agricultural farm and we invented irrigation in many respects it was an idyllic

existence a little over 400 people lived on the kibbutz and supported one another. in a way we realize the zionist dream of defending borders and serving as the breadbasket of israel and along the way i had other horizons but with two professional academics at the university of jerusalem. >> you described the kibbutz as a paradise. walk everyone here with what happened on that day. you were in the states for a

wedding, tell us about the day. >> october 7 i was on my way to a wedding in baltimore headed towards an academic conference and we were woken up by a friend who us was what was going on and we had no idea. we looked at our internal communication system and saw the people were crying out for help at 12:30 in the afternoon and i'm a member of the security team and so i was seeing the communication between our civilian first responders and as

of 9:30 they were no longer responding. i was unable to get into contact with my son or his wife who was seven months pregnant with two little girls. i was able to get in contact with my son-in-law who was exchanging fire with hamas terrorist it's sheltering an hour bomb shelters in my ex-wife one of the two women who were able to escape captivity on the day and crawled back through the fields to the family. today, she is fine, thank goodness. >> her story is incredible.

she was being taken the cause of in a helicopter? >> a group of about 10 people were being taken by hamas. they had been driving towards gaza and an israeli helicopter fired on them and killed the terrorist but everyone else will run off the wagon. my ex-wife played dead. she was

able to crawl her way back. >> she was out there that morning and what did you see? >> he woke up early that morning as he usually did on saturdays to work on his pet project. he grew up alongside with me on the machine shop and he went off to our metal shop to refurbish old buses to become mobile classrooms and he saw a group of terrorist. well armed, well-trained moving through the kibbutz. they warned for everyone to shelter-in-place and over the

next two hours what they realized it was not just one group of terrorists, it was 200 heavily armed hamas commandos with the looters. for two hours our brave men did everything they could to defend the kibbutz. he went back to his home to ensure that his wife and the two girls were safely inside of the bomb shelter and then exited again and continued exchanging fire with terrorist.

his wife and daughters survive but he was taken and has not been heard from since. some of the hostages saw him in the tunnels so as of late november he was alive but 40 of our community were murdered in a be taken captive. that is the state of affairs. our homes were destroyed the looters told everything from tricycles up to our largest farming tractors.

this paradise in the desert that i lived on for 40 years and invested my life there, it no longer exists. at some point it may be rebuilt but there's a question about if anyone wants to return. >> that's a horrific experience. i saw a video of her giving birth she gave birth in her own husband was not there to celebrate it with her. we pray every day for the release of the hostages and everybody shares in that prayer with you. [applause].

i'm going to ask cpac to put up on the screen a website everyone should take note of because each and every one of us does have a role to play. go to the website, it gives you tools on how to reach out to your members of congress. we have to keep the thought and prayers of these people. mark and i are wearing dog tags that say bring them home and we encourage you to go to the website and by these and all the proceeds go to the families. people will ask you, what are you wearing and it gives you

opportunity to speak for these young men and women. tell us how these people can be ambassadors? >> is a great suggestion to go to that website. i feel blessed by being here and feeling a partnership from your community to ours. sometimes friends have to say a pleasant thing to other friends and it's difficult for the hostage families. it seems the israeli government is prioritizing the lives of the hostages. i've lived on the border with gaza and live through rocket

attacks, sniper fire. no one needs to explain to me how much hamas needs to be destroyed. if i could ask for your partnership to reach out to your israeli partners to emphasize to them there cannot be a victory for any of us over hamas without getting these 136 israeli hostages home alive and that means as much action needs to be done to get them alive. >> the website is bring them home, please go to it. our prayers are with you.

>> imagine having your son kidnapped by these barbarians and yet coming here to talk about it and try to explain it. it's a remarkable person that can do that. i would like to say a couple of things. to our media, you are doing a lot of damage to these people. when you spew the propaganda of these hamas terrorists to give them hope. they quote you cnn, new york times you river to the sea

crowd. you are giving aid and comfort to a blood lust ideology. this is an ideology, a fundamentalist, islamic ideology , anyone who does not agree with them must be slaughtered. including muslims by the way. >> and christians. >> the jewish ancestral home is there in the christian ancestral home is there. jesus was born there, jesus was murdered there. bethlehem is there, hebron is

there, buried there. and the palestinian say it is all there is. that is what river to the sea means. i believe river to the sea should not have one damn hamas survivor period. they want to move to america. we are not here to burn down our country. we are not here to ruin democracy. we are here to defend our country, preserve our constitution and preserve our

liberty. that is what conservatives do. he wanted not talk about dictatorships? women is the last time joe biden spoke about the constitution or cited the declaration of independence or liberal talked about individual liberties, property rights? they never talk about it because they don't believe in it. this is a battle between good and evil. we are good, they're evil . you know why we want to preserve our culture? it's

the greatest culture on the face of the earth. americans aren't swarming to other countries people are swarming to america because america is the greatest country on the face of the earth. the greatest culture on the face of the earth. no matter what you call us, you are mouthpieces of the democratic party and hamas, you will not change a damn one of us. my ancestors fought for this country. we talk about world war ii, my ancestors showed blood in europe

, all through iwo jima, quam. i don't need to hear from some candy ass at cnn, i can tell you that. we are not isolationists. we are not pacifist because we are not stupid. we live through world war ii. it cost us for hundreds 50,000 american lives. because other people millions of lives. we are not funding our military we are funding climate change, socialism. we are not supporting our cobs

were supporting illegal aliens. we are not supporting the border we allowed anyone to flow into this country and they will send in spies and terrorists. that's on you democrats and that's on your ideology. they love to talk about a free press but i wish we had one. that constitution you hate, that first amendment and you hate the constitution and the men who wrote it? how dare you. everything we have in this country is a result of the revolutionary were. as a result of the civil war. we had our problems and fought through our problems.

the biggest battles were in the civil war and slavery. no other nation had a civil war to end slavery. and we will not be fooled. that state of israel, those people want to live. they want to be free. they want to be left alone. god put those people there 5000 years ago. there were no palestinians there. the jews used to be called palestinians.

now they are the palestinians, there arabs. and they had a homeland it was called jordan. you want a second state? it's called jordan. that came stood next to that imbecile. i'm supposed to ignore it and so many words. we all know he is and he is dangerous. he is issuing executive orders against the jewish indigenous people. since when does the president pardons people?

or he tells them they must have a two state solution. >> and anti-semite does that. >> you have to give up your home. you have to give up shilo. >> our first capital. >> where all the tribes came together. they say i don't care, give it to the palestinians. the peaceful palestinians. where is the leader of the peaceful palestinians will he presented himself so i can interview him? >> i could tell you that

american first legal has sued the biden administration for violating the teller force act. >> we believe this to take you live to the house of representatives where they will be holding a brief session. live coverage, on c-span. oceedings for political or commercial purposes is expressly prohibited by the u.s. house of representatives.]
