the chance again, but only if the crime is addressed in the public trying to take responsibility for his actions. guardians of trees? stop march 2nd on d, w. the are here at the munich security conference has plenty of security. i'm conflict to worry the politicians and experts. so how does the world reach that dangerous inflection point? my guess this week has becky's of experience has the highest political levels in the us. she's california congress, woman and former speaker of the house of representatives, nancy pelosi and gaza. the us is one that israel has killed 5 to many palestinians, but is jerusalem listening? how will funding for ukraine, clear the kind of luck in the us congress. and this presence of 5 really too old to

run for a 2nd to nancy pelosi welcome to coming soon conflict. so when you look at all the various conflicts to the in progress around at the moment and that capacity the potential to spread. how we reaching a new and dangerous inflection point? well, we have, but i think it, everything is an opportunity. i do think that people are starting to think what is this about, or we can not have innocent people of children and families of being victims of or when they're not even combatants in it. so we have to find another way to resolve conflict. and because this is just uncivilized and brutal, but let's talk about that area with in a sense of being killed in gaza. israel has been preparing his forces to fight in the southern city of russell on the border with egypt, with more than a 1000000 palestinians of sword refuge from the war. last week the white house said

it wouldn't support a military operation that and want of a disaster. if it went ahead. what should the us do if it's rarely noise that morning? but i don't have hopes that there's some other place that israel can go in terms of and being careful about civilian life. they have made it clear that they want to rid gaza of home us, how much is a terrorist organization? they committed an act of brutality, barbaric assault on israel, on october 7th. and following that, we see many children families, grandma was suffering from the consequences of their but their action. so when you say they want to go into the city in and now the to the i understand has $53.00 to $5.00 times more people than it would normally have.

because it was so many refugees there and they were saying we don't support that. well, we haven't supported any of their regression, but we recognized israel's right to protect itself to send its boilers and the rest. but i would hope that they would hear the call of secretary lincoln and of course, present a deal of mine. all of all of us are friends of israel and be careful about the civilians. the the white house is escalated as rhetoric pretty shop to last week. is to buy them said israels comes out to the world was over the top. there are a lot of innocent people who are stopping. he said that a lot of innocent people are in trouble and dying. and it's got to stop canvass the bite and make it stop. well, we have a s a, and i'm going to call mr. because i've lost so much respect for him next in yahoo

there who seems to be you've lost respect for him long time ago. but no, no less. it seems to be calling the shots and he and his their extreme right wing. i wouldn't even say conservative because that's a legitimate place to be in the world of thinking on the spectrum, but right wing radical right wing of the cabinet. so we would hope that tearing from a friend of israel as joe biden is always been, and all of us have been is that he would respect the lives of the people who are innocent, the collateral damage in this war. but there leave us that by them could use which he hasn't used to believe us. which previous presidents have used when israel has in the view, cross the line, for example, go back to the 9056 eisenhower office reference sanctions. if israel didn't police force is out of sign,

i break and you know how the delivery of fight to jets of israel is actually level george bush senior lock loan guarantees because of the settlement building again, i was there at the j that that i, i well you're going back to the 56. i me. so the name is the on there. so, but the president has said something about of the, the settlement. he has said something about the settlements, but saying and blocking the weapon supplies. we went to a very different things and that's not, it's a path, it's a path. so this is terrible. i mean, nobody wants to, in any way minimize what happened on october 6. this was barbaric. it was horrible and consequences hostage taking great murder, kidnapping, attacking young people at a music festival. how, how bad could he get?

and as almost to the point of inviting, inviting a reaction. now none of us has any sympathy for what that is really has done to the, the children and an innocent people. and this for we have total sympathy for them. but we want the hostages released, we want how mosse addressed and was addressed. i mean a, as in set, they think that they can just prevail in gaza and continue to be a threat to israel. that is not an answer either. so the ask is the funny thing about what people think. if they start a hostility, they're going to end an injustice, but usually just as to for their hostilities. but i guess my question is, at what point would you a long time friend of israel say to the government there, the price of this military operation is too high and is no longer morally

defensible or other no limits as far as you know, concerned no red lights, well, why would they care? as i said, i mean, why don't you don't if you don't use things silent and the, you know what i'm saying style account, we're saying sign it. we're saying it is it's, it's wrong for them to do what they're doing to the extent that they are doing it. or you can understand if it, with another lens and someone came in and it killed, you know, over a 1000 people and kidnapped and brutally harmed other people that you would want some justice done the but again, how that is calibrated has to be done with humanity and that's what we have to return to is our humanity is the danger for the us. if you don't like what is well is doing. and the president has made it clear that some of what is what he's

doing. he doesn't, like i said, and you go on supplying them with hardware to do those things. you own this operation every bit as much as they do? no, we don't. we don't. we have only supported israel as our national security friend, largely because it was in our interest to do so at large and because it was interest that we had shared values of only democracy in the region of the behavior of not and yeah, who is in my view inexcusable, in terms of how it is affected, the collateral damage to children and families and the rest. but nobody can take away the right of any country to defend itself that has been brutally attached in that way. of the $28000.00 published in the lives as movies, self defense, isn't it? it's more than self defense. well, in their goal, and i just saw it as a present, hers of hope for me. i have enormous respect and a says how, you know,

how are things and he basically, so we just have a couple more steps and then we'll be through this. so that sound, that option of domestic to me, that they think that it isn't reach to read that as a of home us. i don't hear a lot of the people and outside my house almost every day, but nobody cares about that. and i don't mean to make that a big thing, but i just hear them saying free the hostages. i don't hear any of them saying of a mazda is a terrorist organization. i hear them praising him off. i or them ignoring the hostages. so there's a lot of, uh, should we say a behavior we all have to address here last week be use from policy chief joseph bureau, one to the loud, why the u. s. isn't doing more to habits, warnings taken seriously in jerusalem. if you believe he said that too many people are being killed, maybe you should provide few arms in order to prevent so many people being killed.

he's called a point as we see of israel is very well equipped with the weapon rate. there's nothing that we have since since october 7th, that has a, has contributed to this boot haliday in the longer run it there in a dangerous neighborhood. and we will continue to support israel. let's talk about ukraine. we make $60000000000.00 of us funding for you. credit has hit a roadblock in congress. they to the secretary general horn just before this conference here in munich, cut on the way that the effects of that delay is already being felt on the battlefield. and that means that the lives of being lost. do you think this broke bluff in the house of representatives? come and will be lift this? well, you know, what was the contributions of donald trump because he is the one the public tear who is shining, the bright light on the strings that he's pulling other republicans in the house of

representatives. but we have to get it done. and we have to find a path and we have to negotiate, and we have to compromise. now, on that score, i was sort of highest ranking 1st person to go to ukraine nearly 2 years ago. and when we came back, the goods that i brought were high level intelligence on services, phone affairs, chairs and that. and we came back and we someone at speed, we want distance and power. and we have been asking for that ever since we got more speed, more distance, more power. and the still more that we need to send their time not to believe that if you could be given the tanks. and besides it now has the fight to jets that are on their way when they ask for them. they might of last few a soldiers as of the west,

being far too scared of most goes nuclear saber rattling to give you pray and the weapons at one too. well, i don't think the west has been scared, i think, said um, as nato and, and including united states of america. how back in a very responsible way was great. with great respect for the parish and the did democratic spirit of the people of ukraine. but they drip for the supply, well they can give them turns they have to do, why hadn't, they've done far than what they had and they can have to continue to make them. let's do this together and that relates to capacity. it relates to scope as it relates to timeframe and the rest. and i think that they did a remarkable thing. this is a disgrace. what is happening in the town with some united states right now. we have to solve that problem. we have to get the job done and you know what else we have to do. we have to pay for those who late. it's not too late. it's not too late

. i don't believe it's too late. not no, no, no. russia has a 2 years to strengthen its military. yeah, well they just never showed up. it's what were the when the 1st day. remember that they were going to walk in rose petals and all that stuff now, and it's not too late. and i, if that put me in the corner of those who said when people say, well, maybe they should negotiate, know they should, it, they should do what the usually in should do what they want to do. in the last few days, the head of the stony is intelligent services suggested russia will not seek to double its military presence along his borders with finland, the baltic states and do everything he said to try to destabilize nato's eastern flank. as also being the whole spade of warnings that russia will over the next few years attack and they to country is nato ready for such an attack? it is my business. no, i think nato is, but nature doesn't want to have such an attack. it would be a brutal thing to have engaged in

a war between nato and russia. the important point is for us to help ukraine when the war because as you know, his appetite is insatiable. this is like, there's a set of, of a pass and the great that you carry for borders in her suitcase, or she went, that's who a russia was. and that's what he's trying to, i think, replicate a few 100 years later. but nature was finding use of on the funding years of neglect use of i don't see that as i don't as running down its forces at numbers. i don't, i don't see it that way, but i don't even put a division of 10000 fighting men into into a forced air to. they don't. well, they may not want to put them into what theatre we have in particular, man. i wonder what theatre of the whole point is of nato, isn't it to say 5 for each one. yeah. but i, you know what i have to do so i can't do that. i want to read you of your negative attitude in terms of this this we have the resources rush,

it is a big your pen army. nato is a, as i said, it was president kennedy. what we can do, working together, meaning making our decisions together and cooperation and not condescension. and i think that we're poised to do that. i'm very proud of what america has done. i'm proud of what your post done. i think you are past responded in a very strong positive way putting should take no joy in how he has been this, whereas turned out he was going to win in the 1st week or so 2 years later i this is an outline to the 3rd year of the war now don't have any doubt. i mean, i'm prayerful about no, excuse me, but we need prayers and we need weapons and,

and we need courage. and i, i'm just, i mean i've seen too much of it in terms of visits to our country. our visits, they are my members going and the rest. there are those in power in the house of representatives who would hold this up. and that is a thread because they are, they wanted donald trump as there's speaker of the house. and essentially they got him because he calls all the shots. now, i didn't come over here to talk the politics. but when it comes to the policy of this, of having members of congress, house and senate seen the praises of poor have because of mimicking, you know, who knows, his name is to be president to, to the name you don't want to manage. it's like a found works for me, you know, you know, like a curse where when i was laid off,

he used to curse where you would dine, go to hell. that was the catholic faith. let me ask you about these reports of russia reading a new campus office space us intelligence has just flag that out. have you been based on that? yes, it has now denied how much credence do give to report whether they are or not. can we have to be ready for everything? yes, i had been brief doing that. i've read this series. well, this is serious. it developed, but it made it. it's not a question whether it's a development. it's a possibility. and we, we piece in space is something that we thought was a given. but if it isn't, we have to be not surprised. cuz this lead to a cube besides style show down is that what might be a head some people think. so i hope and have some informed people. now let me just chat are class people who are being brief by the intelligence. so i'm just not the

people reading the stuff they say, oh, it sounds like this could be just as us, the question i'd like to talk briefly about taiwan to you is it is the s 22. and then the paging feller, i real maritime incursions ballistic. besides going to cyber attacks, you think china will eventually invade taiwan? i think if they, if they had a capacity and that's what they would try to build to. but i think it's, and i think it's a convenient threat for them. a convenience that you don't think they'll do it. oh, i don't put anything past them, especially sheet. so what did you go that was well, here's what i think about it. it's my head is not my god the i'm in the house and then the senate, democrats and republicans are very strongly in support of taiwan.

we have our tie, want us at taiwan relations at which says that we support them in there as they defend themselves, should, should they in preparation for or should they be attacked? they have become a thriving democracy, a model to the world in terms of their economy and a leading chip maker at intellectual own incentive entrepreneurial country. and we were not going to let them be ignored. now, with the us fight for taiwan, if it was invaded, it's not for me to say, but we, we have no, do you know, they don't know what our policy is. absolutely strategic ambiguity, but bite and came out and said he would defend, he did so. but what we say is that we believe in the one china policy. so we're not saying independence, nor are they that maybe there's some people there saying independence, but that's not the policy. we're supporting the one china policy. and for them the

status quote. okay, them still in the brief time we have left of about the election year an a, b, c. source poll on the 11th of this month showed 86 percent of americans. now think joe biden is too old, so the 2nd time statistics like that, causing major alarm bells to ring in your pocket to joe biden. as a great president of the united states, he and campbell harris will be our candidates for president and vice president. he will be re elected president of the united states. does it ever with 86 percent or hang? what do? oh, well, i have what percentage thought that i think the trump is too old. he's 78. what's the 7770. 8 years old. as it would be for the americans would prefer to have other people on the pallet, but not 6.7 percent of the measurements are telling him that the 2 people who are likely to be on the ballot. so why we just don't want there to bind joe biden has

wisdom, knowledge, judgment, a beautiful vision for america. knowledge of the issues he's been there so long, a strategic think or a let master legislator. and that's all up here. and then in his heart empathy for the american people in the woods is the special council who investigated his handling of pacify documents. he was a sympathetic, well meaning elderly man with a poor member. i think that that person should have just done his business a charge or don't charge. we don't need you being a doing a, a doctor's analysis of something that you are so one, sarah about another is there other people that he, that are part of that that he could have said they forgot. do you remember every scene that might have happened 2030 years ago, but the public perception is now due to use to old to wrong? you don't get away, let me get back to you. i mean question. this is kind of let me get to question.

are you comfortable with that? yes, i think still fine is great just we making a decision to when we're doing everything to own the ground, to get out the vote, a to message, to inspire people to come to the polls and to have the, my 3 and this mobilization, underground message inspire money to pay for it all. and if you one example, just look what happened last tuesday in new york in a district that trump one by 8 points or can one by a point, a swing of 16 bytes and says the democracy itself is going to be on the ballot to november. it is the right. yeah, absolutely. it's on. it's been on the ballad ever since. what's his name? run in 2016. so trump again, you'll be on the mention of near friend the curse word. the um, the thoughts really terrifies you can winning doesn't to be want to know why.

because just think of democracy writ large at risk praising trump. she comes on long out in the hidden north korea the rest. but yeah, it's a bothers me, but let's not talk that big way. let's talk about the kitchen table. people are having their family discussion about their family planning, which is an economic issue. to take great pride in eliminated roving ways and lemonade, a woman's right to choose her reproductive health if your eligibility q and all the other initials that come after it, forget about your property. so you feel a repeat performance of the interaction that happened around you. january the 6th 2021. if trump lose as well as well, we have a i would hope that it less than would be learned by the people on the other side.

they're using the defensible. i didn't know, i thought i was just going in the capital and yet really, really, that was horrible. it was an assault that was assault on our constitution because that was a day to honor the constitution in terms of accepting the, the other 2 by this victory. so that's how i of the certification of the electoral college vote. it was an assault on our congress so that we couldn't do our business. it was an assault on the capital of the united states so fragile. did us democracy look that day? well, as far as i was concerned, i said right from the start, they cannot prevail and they will not prevail. and that's just the way it and if you're doing the, he's not going to let a he's not, he's a head and look, oh no, he's not going to win. we have this is our valet for sure. this is our washington

crossing the delaware. we have to, when there is, everything is at stake. we had a beautiful presidency. we are having a beautiful presidency of dubai and had it a said had because when we were in the majority, we were able to hassle you feel free to you went along with historic lows in the pulse with his started flow. so let me get back to my point though. so, 15 months ago, fighting for the slide to be still there dependents, the opponents and the pools and all of a sudden all of this and you've got that. they were saying, you're going to lose 30 or 40 seats. you're gonna owe an apology to the democrats because you're using the wrong campaign. i said we're not. we know exactly what we're doing. we know exactly what we're doing. we just have a will to when and you know what with just when day be fancy for those things. thank you very much. you're welcome. the
