3:02 am
as really the 2nd one that the us president job ivan has made from the oval office . so it is rare. what we expect is that he is going to make the case that americans need to throw their support behind. you have to interrupt you that because the president of just about to start. so let's listen to what he's saying with the decisions we make today are going to determine the future for decades to come. that's what i'd like to talk with you about tonight. normally this morning i return from israel and tell me i'm the 1st american president of travel there during the war. i met with the prime minister and members of his cabinet. and most movingly, i met with his rarely sweet person who lived through horrific car. on the attack by a mouse on the 7th of october, more than 1300 people slaughter and israel, including at least 32 american citizens, scores a message from emphasis to the album. the grandparents is rarely as americans
3:03 am
taking hostage as i told the families of americans being held captive by a mouse, were pursuing every avenue to bring their loved ones home. as president, there is no higher priority from me to the safety americans held hostage the terrace group from oscillation, sure on an adult or evil in the world. but sadly, the jewish people know perhaps better than anyone that there is no limit to the depravity of people when they want on slick pain on others. and israel, i saw people are strong, determined, resilient, and also angry and shock in deep, deep pain. i also spoke with prisoner boss, the palestinian authority, and reiterated through united states remains committed to the palestinian people. it's right to dignity and to self determination. the actions of last tears don't take that right away and like so many other, i'm heart broken by the tragic loss of palestinian life, including the explosion at the hospital and gaza,
3:04 am
which was not done by the israelis. we more and every innocent life last. we can ignore humanity of innocent palestinians who only want to live in peace and have an opportunity you know, here, solid on israel, i coast nearly 20 months of war, tragedy and brutality inflicted on the people of ukraine. people that have a very badly hurt sense to launch is all out evasion, but not forgotten. the mass graves, the bodies found buried shines of torture, rape used as a weapon by the russians, and thousands and thousands ukrainian children forcibly taken into russia stolen from their parents. it's sick. come, awesome food, represent different threats. they share this in common. they both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy, completely annihilated how mos, just a state of purpose for existence, in the destruction of the state of israel and the murder of jewish people. a mazda is not represent the power steering and people how much you just probably need to
3:05 am
buildings as human shields, and innocent power. afternoon families are suffering greatly because of that. meanwhile, putting denies ukraine has or ever had real estate to it. the claims of soviet union created ukraine, and just 2 weeks ago, he told the world that if united states and our allies withdraw enough in united states withdrawal or allies well as well, military support ukraine would have quote, a week left to live, but we're not withdrawn i know these conflicts can seem far away. this natural ask, why does this matter to america? tony share with you? why making sure israel and ukraine succeed is vital for america's national security . no history has taught us that one tears don't pay a price for their chair. when dictators don't pay a price for their aggression, they cause more cash in depth and more destruction. they keep going, and the cost and the threats to american the world keep her eyes. so if we don't
3:06 am
stop who does appetite for power and control and cry, he won't limit himself just to ukraine. he's put is already threatened to remind quote, remind poland that the western land was a gift from russia. one of his top advisors, a former president of russia, has called us tony, a lot, few lithuanian rushes baltic provinces. these are all metal allies for 75 years made. it was kept patient here has been the cornerstone of american security and important attacks of nato ally. we will defend every inch of data which we recruit with tre, requires and costs for will have something that we do not seek, make it clear. we do not see. we do not seek to have american troops fighting in russia. are fighting against russia. beyond europe. we know that our allies and may be most important or adversaries and competitors are watching or watching our
3:07 am
response and ukraine as well. and if we walk away and look, put in the race you craze, independence would be aggressive around and will it be in bold and to try the same . a risk of conflict and chaos could spread in other parts of the world in the end of pacific. and then the least, especially in the middle east, around is so as a supporting rush, as you, you in ukraine and supporting a moss and other terrorist groups in the region. and will continue to hold them accountable. i might. tonight it stays on, our partners across the region are working to build a better future for them at least one way or the middle east is more stable, better connected to his neighbors. and through innovative projects like the india middle lease, you are rail carter that i announce this year at the summit. and the world's biggest economies, more predictable markets, more employment, less rates, much grievances, less for one to connect. it beneficial people would benefit the people in the least
3:08 am
than will benefit us. american leadership is what holds the world together. american alliances, what keep us america say? american values are what make us a partner, the nation you want to work with, put all that a risk and we walk away from ukraine. return our backs on israel. it's just not worth it. that's why the more i'm going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund another dispatch. so security needs to support are critical partners, including israel and ukraine. is a smart investment is going to pay dividends for american security. for generations help us keep american troops out of harm's way. help us build a world that is safer, more peaceful and more prosperous for our children, the grandchildren is 0. because make sure that they have what they need to protect their people today and always the security package i'm sending to congress and asking congress to is an unprecedented commitment to israel security that will
3:09 am
sharpen israel's qualitative military edge, which we've committed to the qualitative military edge that we're going to make sure iron don't continues to guard the skies of razor. we're going to make sure other hospital actors in the region know that israel stronger than ever and prevent this conflict from spreading. but the same time presents now and i discussed again yesterday, the critical nature is to operate by the laws of war, at least protecting civilians in combat as best as they can. kind of people, garza personal need food, water and medicine. yesterday, in discussions with the leaders of israel and egypt, i secured an agreement for the 1st shipment of humanitarian assistance from the united nations to power standing civilians. in garza, aust is not divert or shipment. the shipments provide an opening for sustained
3:10 am
delivery of life saving you monitoring assistance for the past. it is, as i said in israel as hard as is we cannot give up on peace. we cannot give up on a 2 state solution. israel and palestine is equally deserved to live in safety, dignity, and peace. you know, not here at home, but to be honest with ourselves and ration here's too much. aid is given too much auction in fueling races and the rise of antisemitism. over here, right here in america, is also intensified in the wake of recent events led to the earth extraction attacks of both shockers and break our hearts. october 7th, terror attacks have triggered deep scars and terrible memories in the jewish community. today, jewish families worried about being targeted in his school, orange symbols with a face walking down the street or going out about their daily lives. i know i know
3:11 am
many of you on the muslim american community, i remember apollo, studying american really if so many others are outraged and harvey saying that yourselves. here we go again. the phobia and the stress we saw after 911 test last week. my mother was brutally stabbed a little boy here in the united states, a little boy who just turned 6 years ago was murdered in their home outside of chicago. is name was why the. why the proud american proud can stand by as silent for this happens with most without equivocation denounced and i semitism. we must also, without equivocation denounced as lemma phobia. and all you heard it as your you heard, i want you to know. i see you belong. i want to say this to you,
3:12 am
you're on there not to say this to you. you're on eric all there. this is in a moment. there's no, i'm almost like these when fear and suspicion, anger, rage run hard. so we have to work harder than ever to hold onto the values and make us feel we are. we're a nation of religious freedom, freedom of expression. we all have a right to debate and disagree without fear of being targeted and schools. our workplaces are in our communities. i must renounce violence of vitriol. see each other not advantage was by his fellow americans. when i was, it is really yesterday. i said that one american experienced the hell of 911. we felt a race as well. we thought and got justice, we made mistakes. so i cautioned the government of israel not to be blinded by rage . and here in america, let's not forget who we are. we reject all forms of all forms of hey,
3:13 am
whether against muslim jews or anyone. that's what great nation is do, and we are a great nation on ukraine, i'm asking congress to make sure we can continue to send ukraine the weapons they need to defend themselves on their country without interruption. so creating can stop put into brutality ukraine. they are succeeded on putting in very crazy thought he would take keys at all your credit in the matter days, all over year later putting his fail and he continues to fail. keith still stands because the bravery river creek training and people ukraine has every game more than 50 percent of the territory. russian troops once occupied, back by us, led coalition of more than 50 countries around the world. all doing it as part of support key. what would happen if we walked away? we are the central nations. meanwhile,
3:14 am
putting his turn to ran in north korea to buy attack trouts in emulation to terrorize ukrainian cities and people. from the outset, i've said i will not send american troops to find ukraine. all your credit is asking for us help for the webpage read, this is the capacitance of the capability to push the baby. russian forces offer lamp the air defense system to shoot down russian missiles before the destroy ukrainian cities. let me be clear about something we send your credit equipment sitting in our stockpiles. and when we see use the money allocated by congress, we use it to replenish our own stores, our own stock policy, with new equipment, equipment to defeat the defends america. and is made in america patron missiles for air defense batteries made in arizona, artillery shells manufactured and 12 states across the country in pennsylvania, ohio, texas, is so much more as you know, just as in world war 2. today,
3:15 am
patriotic american workers are building the arsenal democracy in serving the cause of freedom. let me closer this. earlier this year i boarded air force one for a secret flight to pull their i board and the train blacked out windows for a 10 hour ride. each way to keep, to stand with the people ukraine, head of the one year anniversary of their brady fight against pruitt. i am told i was a 1st american enter a war zone, not controlled by the united states military since president link. with me was just a small group of security personal, a few advisors. i actually did that training mid july presence a landscape. i didn't feel i would bring it with me. the idea of america, the promise of america, to the people who were today friday for the same things we fox sports, 250 years ago. freedom, independence,
3:16 am
self determination. as i walk through cave of presence soleski, very assignment sounding in the distance. i felt something i've always believed more strongly never before america is a beacon to the world. still still where i was, my friend madeline albright said the indispensable nation tonight or innocent people over the world. whole because of us who believe in a better life because of us or desperate not to be forgotten by us or waiting for us. a time is of the essence. i know we have our divisions at home. we have to get past we can't let petty parts of angry politics given way or responsibility is a great nation. we cannot and will not let the tears like come off of the tyrants like put in when i refuse to let that happen. it is almost like these. we have to
3:17 am
remind we have to remember who we are square, they reminded states of america, the united states of america. and there is nothing, nothing beyond our capacity. if we do it together, i follow americans. thank you for your time. god bless you all, the god, protect our troops. live pictures the from the white house on the apple office years president joe biden getting that special and read speech from the able office on the situation on the boys in gauze and ukraine. he said he was the 1st american president to travel the israel at a time of war. he said there's no high a priority to him as president. and then us citizens taken hostage by how much time held in gaza. he said to us remains committed to the to palestinian dignity and the right to sell through. and he said, he moans every is really life. last he said he's not for go from the war and ukraine and the abuses committed by russia. he said to us on his allies will not withdrawal from ukraine, and they will remain at steadfast there. and he said,
3:18 am
tomorrow he will send an urgent budget request to congress to secure more military aid for israel and ukraine. he didn't specify exactly how much, but we understand if someone in the region of about a $100000000000.00, he said he comp give up on peace in the middle east and the possibility of a 2 state solution that freaking out. why tells correspondence? kimberly how get you joints to the getting can be so president by them back. katie lang out the stakes for the u. s. as the 6 more aid from congress, the israel and ukraine. what did you make of the speech and why didn't by didn't feel the need to address the country now as well. the us president needs to address the country because i don't know way my microphone is picking it up, but there's a slow but in loud protests going on just adjacent to where i standing. and it is really signifies that americans are tired of paying for foreign wars. and so they're protesting,
3:19 am
we've had protests to ever since october 7th. and so there's waiting support for the united states paying for, for, and conflicts. a lot of americans feel that the priorities now are domestic of sorts. so this is, the problem for the us presidency, has to make the case to the american public. and that's what we heard him doing. he made the case, but american leadership and the alliances to be the united states has to american safe back here in the united states. and the risk as is, you heard him saying they're just a few moments ago when he says, we can't let. and i'm quoting here, terrorist like come us or tyrants like when he's in basically hanging out they. a their wrists, if there are, these groups are not contain and basically saying that this could be something that could spread like contagion, eventually coming back here to the united states. so the bottom line is, he's making that argument whether or not the american people will buys that argument. so as you can hear,
3:20 am
there are some very loud protesters just outside the white house case. here is certainly a challenge. and typically i didn't hear exactly from joe biden, how much money he was going to ask for congress. but in the media, there's this figure circulating of something like a $100000000000.00 to um, israel and ukraine. but of course, as you would have been talking earlier, congress than legislative limb, but when republicans just unable to elect a new speaker, how's it going to get his money? as the bottom line is there, and it doesn't really matter how much the president asked for. because congress will ultimately decide on the final number. so yes, the president is asking for roughly about a $100.00 all told for a number of different security requests, including israel as you frame. but congress will ultimately decide how that money is fed. but it can't decide right now because it doesn't have a speaker. it hasn't had one for 2 weeks since kevin mccarthy is in the house of representatives was ousted as well. that means that any sort of government business
3:21 am
is paralyzed and it will remain that way. so any request for you praying is real border security. it is all stalls until the house of representatives is able to do his business. and we should point out, but it's not just this for a policy concern. it's also facing another deadline and that is a potential government shut down the government funding deadline in mid november. all right, so kimberly, how get life us the outside the why just kimberly. thank you. all right, let's bring it in model and bush. all right, he's out to 0 senior political analyst. it joins us live from london model. and so president binding that talking about doing copy and hand to congress asking for billions of dollars to help fund the was in gaza and ukraine. what did you make of the speech mall one and who was it like you to resonate with domestically and internationally? but clearly there are 2 sort headlines speech, right? so yeah, so clear is right and you claim what's in common between them?
3:22 am
what both are american eyes very strong american dollars, but there is a major discrepancy. and that is, it is an offer you buying power while you crazy, isn't occupied country. so equating between the 2. what was the major problem for the american person's argument? so why he talks about a russian brutality in ukraine icon that is this, ignore, this is a one time fee income. and on our screen as i'm watching the 1st of those, i can see this big screen as the pulse. we can see the images of the people in casa, so for that discrepancy inside these, probably hist for them policy. not that leave them at least because just quickly,
3:23 am
he's making the speech after 2 trips. what are the grain in february? i'm on the, is read, this one, the one do you play? he ended up in wash, so next door, running the all eyes neutral against russia. and it was a major success with the american president to write a euro against russia and really support you. great or possibly, but we gain the sweet for them agrees and he's supposed to make a similar saw in jordan to rally the out of all eyes and then then come us as a whole think some sort of a humanitarian, something you guys are. the boy started to ship was a measure for yeah, so because he would not condemn the bombing of kaiser because it was all right. and this is policy that lease has to be careful because it continues to
3:24 am
unconditionally support this. right. why is i continues to bomb gaza, ukrainian? it's working for him and he's trying to get the support. it is that he's still getting the support from the american it's but clearly in the region, this policy is not working at all right, so i might want to stay with us when to we'll come back to you in just a minute. let's bring in john hubs into the discussion. john previously served as us console general in jerusalem and he's now senior director of the atlantic councils, your racist and st. joseph live from washington, d. c. a. john, good job. you with a so it seems clear that president biden has this huge challenge on his hands to convince americans of the us must engage with a well beyond this borders. but of course, most americans are focused on concerns much closer to what did you make of the speech and why they feel the need to talk to the country. now, do you think? well, i say it's over. she lowered status of the unwillingness of the american
3:25 am
people to support his policy. i'll send the systems to both you for in israel and the case of ukraine poll shows or something like, uh, 586062 percent support. the assistance were given to you. crane and with israel, the numbers are actually higher of what i've seen a poll recently. oh, but i believe the speech she gave will, in fact, enhanced support among the american people for providing assistance to both to print and to as well. so let's talk about dogs or for a 2nd. the minute seems extraordinary that on the one hand, president biden made this arrangement with the egypt to allow 20 trucks with aid into gaza on friday, the day before. the us actually veto to you in resolution putting fresh humanitarian pause in the fighting. i mean, there seems to be this deep contradiction in the us as humanity and response policy as well. i think you need to understand the basically those
3:26 am
nations calling for you monitoring pause or in fact of providing cover for i'm us which heavy watson attack which involves a savage murder over a 1000 as well as mainly civilians women and children and the hostage taking a water pause because we all know the, israel's military is much stronger than horses. that that's what i think the president read or that resolution. but at the same time is as you pointed out, he helped persuade the president of egypt to open the card or just send assistance . and he is, you know, his speech. okay. most of our troops were going to finish and finish. he has demonstrated strong support for israel. he also was telling me, is rarely you've got to let the much hurry and stuff get in and you, in your military action, you've got to take into account civilian. yeah, and that's an important part of the test because because in terms of the situation on the ground, it's clear that the us has given the green, is to bring lights to israel to go off to how mass in gauze about how do you then
3:27 am
deliver sustainable humanitarian aid in the gaza was israel's conducting legal ground operations? i mean, the reality is under those circumstances, the lives of palestinian civilians and the humanitarian support takes a backseat to israel ministry objectives. i think that's a, that's a fair point. and there is, this is a circle that cannot be squared. but i would hesitate to say was present, did was get the greenest of 3 months. you can say that overall, what do you said? we might say providing a bit more weight for israel to go in then not. but he was also against adjusting certain limits. but he didn't do last way. let's just talk about some of the domestic politics then and how that's playing out. with this story, i mean support for israel and ukraine has traditionally been robust amongst both democrats and republicans, but bank bipartisanship. john is bound to be tested in the days ahead. how will buy them get further funding? when house republicans still haven't chosen the speaker?
3:28 am
it's left congress in legislative limbo and with no power to act on any financial request the president by make sounds a little bit of work that's. that's a very good question. and exactly where she is, alo, substantial dysfunction of american governors, or to be precise. and congress in on this specific question the, there's very little opposition. maybe even though we're not position in congress for age israel, there is opposition for of a small percentage of republicans in congress, perhaps as much as 15 percent, maybe a little bit more than that. and they are the ones who have held of age, you trained in the past few weeks. but it's also true that the fact that no speaker has been chosen. and in fact, without a speech of the, we know a package role is your correspond to pointed out you may see the government shut down. and 3 or 4 weeks this,
3:29 am
this function in the house is viewed very of favorably by the american people. and i suspect the republicans would be forced of the holy by concerned about their electro chances next year to resolve this for the next 2 weeks as a whole month. that's likely. but as i said, as a, as a form, a, you know, console general in jerusalem, john, let me get a final thought to you because the here and now we'll see israel counting out a massive ground incursion into gaza. but what will tomorrow look like? john? when the dust has settled, i mean, president biden has already said he will not support and his writing re occupation of gaza. i mean, that just stops the cycle of bought and sold over again. so what is israel? i'm washington's and game here. or i think the will um, this in yahoo has already said, do you want us to see the removal of us as a governing force in is officer. and he wants to see also
3:30 am
a severe deterioration of not complete. and thomas has more make a capacity. i'm not sure that he can achieve his 1st objective. as you say, i was consul general. i spent a lot of time and garza, i watched things develop and then of course i left that position in the year 2000. that my last official act was the c r, followed off at andrews air force base after the failure of the camp. david's summit. uh, but i watched as well as how much you know to power 6 or 7 years after i left. so i'm not sure that we're able to approve come off, but seriously we can was, is warming potential, i think is a, she will go and i think they will do that. oh, i think you're right, and i feel i'm warm even in advance for the innocent life, and also will be lost as i mourn for the and it's a life it was taken by mazda operators in israel, on october 7th. all right, so john have stepped full my us console general in jerusalem. john,
