4:01 pm
on israel, more than 1300 israelis have been killed, over 3,000 wounded, 199 hostages. 30 americans have been killed, still 13 unaccounted for. the idf ground invasion of is a is independent meant. secretary of defense lloyd austin tells u.s. troops be ready to deploy if needed. foreign affairs correspondent greg palkot on the ground. thank you so much. what can you tell us? >> reporter: larry, our pleasure. we're up in northern israel, not far from the israeli lebanon border. we've been watching artillery go out from the israeli military, flares go up as they try to deal with the hezbollah fighters on the other side of the border. fears grow in all of this unrest there could be a second front opening here. take a look what we saw and heard earlier today in this area. you're looking at lebanon just half a mile from where we are in
4:02 pm
northern israel. there are hezbollah militant fighting positions there. they have been engaging with the israeli military here all this past week. as things escalate down south things here could definitely heat up. intense exchanges between i i wl israel and iranian backed hezbollah militants. tanks, small-arms fire, casualties. 28 israeli villages evacuated. locals think they know hezbollah's intentions. do you think they are doing this because of the action down south? >> i have no doubt. do you have doubts? it's very obvious, yes. >> reporter: israeli military building up here, tanks, heavy army, reservists, commando teams. this time they don't want to be caught out. ready for anything? >> ready for anything. >> reporter: hezbollah. >> hezbollah, hamas. ready for anything.
4:03 pm
>> reporter: folks on both sides of the border watching closely what is going on down south as israeli military builds up around the gaza strip, aiming to go in at some point perhaps in the near future with a major invasion, aiming to go after the hamas militants who are so guilty in so much carnage, death and destruction here. the folks here too are also watching what is going on the side of the gaza strip. civilians fleeing. food, fuel, electricity, you name it in short supply. civilians being caught in the crossfire with the embedded hamas militants. the situation here remains tense, larry. hezbollah, a major enemy of israel. 100,000 fighters, 150,000 rockets. they have clashed in the past. we heard from prime minister benjamin netanyahu today.
4:04 pm
don't make mistakes in the past. hezbollah person said be ready for any possibilities. back to you. larry: greg palkot, thank you, please stay safe. folks, just for a moment i don't understand why president biden and his top officials keep denying that iran is the key pay master and planner behind the barbaric hamas invasion of gaza. now look, to his credit so far president biden has fully supported israel, to his credit. his defense secretary lloyd austin, who's a veteran of the successful wars against isis is now pledging u.s. military deployment to israel if need be. this is good but here's joe biden on "60 minutes" over the weekend. i don't get it. >> is iran behind the gaza war? >> i don't want to get into classified information, to be
4:05 pm
very blunt with you, there is no clear evidence of that. >> at this point no evidence that iran is behind any of this? president biden: correct. now iran constantly supports hamas and hezbollah. i don't mean that, but in terms of did they have foreknowledge, did they help plan the attack, there is no evidence of that at this point. larry: well, again with all due respect i don't get this. look on october 9th, being back on october 9th "the washington post" ran a long story, quote, hamas received weapons and training from iran officials say, all right. and the day before on october 8th, "wall street journal" ran a headline story, quote, iran helped float attack on israel over several weeks, end wrote. alli, some kind of hamas big shot, quoted in russian tv, our allies are those who support us with weapons and money. first and foremost it is iran giving us money and weapons, end
4:06 pm
quote. in all these stories, talking about meetings in beirut just prior to the hamas barbaric invasion and those meetings included iran puppet hezbollah. european officials quoted as confirming iran's key role. so why is biden protecting iran? what is he hiding? now he and his top people keep telling us, iranian economic and energy sanctions have not been lifted or relaxed but we already know from key data sources that iran has accumulated $80 billion of oil revenues at least and a huge increase in oil sales to china and enormous jump in their foreign exchange reserves. all in the last couple of years. where is that coming from? these are hard facts. now the u.s. has not blocked iranian shipping or prevented airplane overflights or applied secondary banking sanctions to iran commerce of any kind.
4:07 pm
we have not booted iran out of the world dollar system. we know this. why lie about it? incidentally if iran is not calling the shots why is the iranian foreign ministry ludicrously claiming today, monday, hamas was ready to release its hostages if i will israel ceases airstrikes along the gaza strip? this is an insane story. there is not a shread of truth to it. of course israel will do no such thing. as former american ambassador to israel, mr. david friedman, who will be here in just a moment, he just wrote israel must achieve complete annihilation of hamas. no more containment. there will be no stupid deal between iran, hamas or any of these terrorists. sure sounds like iran is the spokesperson for hamas. iran has been bankrolling,
4:08 pm
masterminding all these terrorist groups for many years. iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism in the middle east and perhaps the rest of the world for that matter. the question is why would president biden quibble over this? that is what his "60 minutes" quote sounds like. he doesn't want to give away classified info so he is doing one of these ambiguous quibbles. my final thought? let's do this, let israeli defense forces take care of hamas in the gaza strip. as for the u.s., i would suggest the u.s. would make a great contribution if they implemented all the business and banking sanctions on iran that have been mandated by congress. one way to crush hamas, one way to crush hamas is to bankrupt iran with no quibbles. all right? joining me now the aforementioned david friedman, distinguished former ambassador to israel.
4:09 pm
david, welcome back to the show. you were here a week ago. we're pleased to have you back. thank you for your time. you wrote a blockbuster of a piece. israel must achieve complete annihilation of hamas as long as terrorists are in charge, gaza will be a dark preses tiff bastion be repressive bastion of islamic extremism. this is a change of strategy because events dictate it. israel is no longer interested in managing or containing hamas in the gaza strip. it is now as you put it, annihilation. tell us what you're thinking because i know you're in touch with president netanyahu as well. >> larry, look i think for the last 20 years or so israel as i said has been managing a conflict. which means every few years, hamas shoots these rockets indiscrimenantly into locations. israel responds.
4:10 pm
they degrade hamas. hamas goes back into the hole for a few years. the problem they keep coming back stronger. this last episode is a bridge too far. think can't go back to that strategy, if they do hamas will come back again. if hamas continues to come back like this, what israel is saying jewish people can't live safely in the land of israel that is the ultimate consequence of not being able to destroy hamas. what is interesting is that, you know, the day after, because israel will annihilate hamas given the opportunity. they have, i was just, i came from a hospital in tel aviv a trauma center visiting the wounded solers and i saw things i don't want to talk about now, i tell you these people who have lost limbs and lost eyesight, they are so motivated and so angry and so determined. they just want to go back to the front, no matter how much pain and suffering they have endured, the whole country is ready for
4:11 pm
this fight this is a existential fight. if you go back, if this is successesful, everybody worries about casualties and casualties which occur in every war, if this fight is successful you can return the gaza strip to what it once was. i don't think people realize back in the 1990's, gaza strip was incredible place. it is a huge beachfront, 50 miles south of tel aviv. the same beachfront as tel aviv. one of the few western facing beachfronts on the mediterranean. you sit there watch the sunset it is gorgeous. before hamas came in, this was not a terrible place to live at all. you know, there were people there. they were happy, they were prosperous. israel said, we'll get out of the way. we don't want to control it. there are a lot of palestinians here. take this land. make the most of it. we want a quiet border. one year moving in that direction. in 2007, hamas came in, took it over, misogynistic, homophobic, take water pipes, turn it into
4:12 pm
rockets, concrete into terror tunnels. it is all hamas. anybody who is unhappy with the situation, just blame hamas. the corollary if we get rid of hamas we can go back to the time where the pal since can actually have a life. larry: just for a second, ambassador, i want to play you what general jack keane said on this show about the goal and mission of this war. take a listen, please. >> and, larry i mean we got to be up front about what needs to be done here. we need to kill them. that is the only thing that sops these guys. they are absolutely committed to this barbarism. we have to kill them like we did with isis, like we did with al qaeda. larry: sound about right to you, ambassador friedman? >> that is right on the money. look, you and i agree, that joe biden deserves credit, not for perhaps getting us into this mess but he deserves credit for
4:13 pm
what he hats done over the last week. we agree on that. let's watch him every single day because tomorrow and the next day and the next day as the casualties start to begin, when the ground invasion begins and you have the united nations talking about casualties, you have all the humanitarian hypocrites you know who only seem to care about israel defending itself, make sure that joe biden remains, remains that way. larry: i'm on it, ambassador. i'm on it, promise, roger that, all over it. thank you very much, ambassador david friedman, we appreciate it. folks let's move right along, we have some more coming. kt mcfarland my favorite former deputy national security advisor as always. thank you, kt. i just love it, sew many people, there is a lot of hand-wringing going on. they don't really agree with what general jack keane said or what ambassador friedman said or probably what you and i believe. why not, here's a novel thought. why not let the israeli defense
4:14 pm
forces take care of hamas in gaza? what do you think of that, kt? i hear they're pretty good at it. >> they got to be. they know how to do this. what you have talked about, and what ambassador friedman said in the past the policy has always been basically called mowing the grass. hamas, hezbollah, they dissemble missiles from iran, lob them over into israel, every couple of years. israel says, let's go out to clean up nests of terrorists and guns, arm depos, they would mow the grass, knowing that hamas and hezbollah will as assemble more weapons, come back five or six years to do the same. this is now a very different thing. i think israel is in danger of being completely isolated because iran, who is calling the shots, they want to see casualties. they want to go ahead israel what they have to do, go in, go after hamas. then iran can say to the world, oh look, those israelis there is
4:15 pm
disproportionate. they're killers. look what they're doing with civilian casualties, they're inhumane. they want to provoke reaction in u.n., europe and probably the united states. the key is where it president biden a week from now, two weeks from now, when pictures are no longer of israeli babies getting killed but palestinians. larry: everybody has advice about the idf about recapturing prisoners, okay, hostages. you know, i want to ask you, okay, you've been in this game, kt, what -- look, this is not about a prisoner exchange. this is not a hostage negotiation it seems to me. >> no. larry: this is about israel taking out hamas and they will do the best they can. they know about hostages. they know about intelligence regarding hostages. they have the, they can see where the hostages are in many cases. in other words, i'm not
4:16 pm
interested in a hostage negotiation, kt. maybe i'm wrong about this. i'm really interested in letting israel clean out hamas and on the way doing the best they can to preserve hostages, okay? to take them back. that is not a negotiation. >> no. no, israel has got to do it. they have to get rid of the hamas political leadership, military leadership and the arms dep tote -- depots. if they don't do that it will happen again and again. so many people think about israel does next, what will america do next? if israel feels abandoned by the united states, abandoned by europe and abandoned by the world. israel will think, we have nothing left to use. maybe they take out iran's nuclear sites. if they get nuclear weapons, iran will not hesitate to use them against israeli civilians. larry: is that the worst thing in the world? israel took out nuclear
4:17 pm
facilities once before in iran. i give you the last word on this one, kt mcguard land. >> i think it would be great. nobody else seems to be able to stop iran's nuclear program. larry: we coapply sanctions once in a while. that wouldn't hurt. but the other threat you mentioned, i'm glad you put it on the table, seriously. know i can talk about that for the rest of the show. it has to be on the table. we cannot desert israel. kt mcfarland appreciate it. take care. coming up for the rest of our show, israel preparing for an imminent ground invasion of gaza. it will be shock and awe as it must be. we'll talk with several people with very own john roberts who is on the ground in israel. we'll look what's next when this invasion begins. we'll ask former navy seal and idf trainer, cameron hamilton. please stay here with "kudlow." you know, israel may have to act on its own. maybe that is the best way to

nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes! [ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. when people come, they say they've tried lots of diets, nothing's worked or they've lost the same 10, 20, 50 pounds over and over again. they need a real solution. i've always fought with 5-10 pounds all the time. eating all these different things and nothing's ever working.
4:22 pm
i've done the diets, all the diets. before golo, i was barely eating but the weight wasn't going anywhere. the secret to losing weight and keeping it off is managing insulin and glucose. golo takes a systematic approach to eating that focuses on optimizing insulin levels. we tackle the cause of weight gain, not just the symptom. when you have good metabolic health, weight loss is easy. i always thought it would be so difficult to lose weight, but with golo, it wasn't. the weight just fell off. i have people come up to me all the time and ask me, "does it really work?" and all i have to say is, "here i am. it works." my advice for everyone is to go with golo. it will release your fat and it will release you. larry: all right, miss -- israel
4:23 pm
preparing for ground invasion. john roberts from israel, as brave as you are, what can you tell us? >> this looked like it with happen over the weekend, larry, friday, saturday, then sunday came along. there was talk about bad weather. rain moved in, some low-lying clouds and after the ground invasion in 2006, which was not very successful and after what happened when the idf got caught two saturdays ago not knowing what the heck was going on with hamas as they raged through those towns and kibbutzes they want to make sure they have got, all their is dotted and all their ts crossed before they go in on the ground. they want to make sure they have good weather so the air force can fly, drones can be up there. they know they will be going into a hornet's nest. here is something interesting, larry, you know michael lauren, former israeli ambassador to the united states, he wrote a book about the six-day war. i was an id f volunteer in 2006
4:24 pm
during the hezbollah war. he wrote a rather controversial piece late last week which he thought israel is going after the wrong target. they should save hamas and go after hezbollah now. listen what he told me on the streets of tel aviv. >> high likelihood. >> you question whether israel is going after the right group initially? >> hamas right now is not going anywhere. hamas is trapped. we can hit hamas from the air and the ground. hezbollah has about 15 times the number of rockets that hamas has, about 150,000 rockets. they're buried under 200 lebanese villages. they can shoot rockets out of the house literally at us and they have a very well-trained force. they have been fighting in syria for 10 years. i question whether we're at full mobilization, talking about 350,000 reservists here, a huge force, whether we should now turn our attention first to hezbollah and then later deal with hamas? i have suggested this.
4:25 pm
of the it is a controversial idea but people take it seriously. >> so that what is israel is dealing with right now, larry. we know there is big threat from the north. hezbollah is shooting anti-take missiles at civilians. they have evacuated two kilometers of perimeter along the northern border between israel and lebanon. oren's go instantly against hezbollah that would instantly create a wider war. that is something certainly president biden doesn't want to sigh. lot of people don't want to see. up in the air when the ground invasion will happen, maybe more toward the weekend. we'll see. right now things are at at point, larry, where you have the air force pounding northern gaza and ground force is standing on the sidelines waiting for orders to go in. larry: john, i saw a large part of your interview with michael
4:26 pm
oren who i happen to know. did i hear him say with respect to the hamas invasion, the idf could take care of business in three weeks? >> he used to be in charge of gaza back in 2018. so he knows the area very well. there is this debate in israel whether the ground forces should be used at all. again in 2006 the israeli air force was very effective dealing a blow to hezbollah mostly with the bombing of beirut. when the ground forces went in, i was there in along the peninsula, all the tanks were lined up, suddenly they rolled in. that is when israel started taking casualties. there is a sense while they do need to decimate hamas, they already left so many people they don't want to lose more in a ground fight. a big debate. we'll see what the idf does. larry: john, stay safe. >> thank you, larry, we will. larry: be sure to catch john and
4:27 pm
his coanchor sandra smith on "america reports" every day 1:00 p.m. eastern, fox news. we're looking at air sea and land, how will it work? joining us now, cameron hamilton former idf trainer in israel and a former navy seal. cameron, just to tack on what john roberts was reporting former ambassador michael oren, do you think israel should turn and nail hezbollah first or take care of business in gaza and just decimate hamas? >> good afternoon, larry, thank you for having me. i think to go after hezbollah right now would be a categorical mistake. they're trying to take measures to deter a fight on the northern border. israel stood up comprehensive northern command. they evacuate ad lot of civilians in an mitigation effort in the event organization like hezbollah will try similar tactics and techniques to kidnap refugees and civilians. i think ultimately keeping focus
4:28 pm
on hezbollah at the north, not addressing the issues of hamas down on gaza would be a mistake. larry: cameron, what is the idf waiting for in terms of the ground assault? the air assault is heavy. you talked about it with us last week. on the sea i guess they're coming in. what is holding them back? it is not just weather. how do you assess this? >> yeah, thank you for that question. so ultimately the idf is weighing a variety of factors. one thing i have hurt consistently from members of the idf i have spoken to today as well as past few days there are variety of intelligence matters they're trying to gain more information on. they're also trying to be very strategic and surgical with how they attack certain regions. complicated fighting in urban cities, densely populated like gaza is never an easy undertaking. i have said that many times before. you pray for open terrain because you're easily able to target your opponent and to minimize casualties against
4:29 pm
civilians. unfortunately hamas does not fight that way. they fight in buildings. they fight in schools. they fight in hospitals. miking challenges on the israelis significantly more difficult so what i have heard weather played in a factor as it pertains towards overhead support, as well as artillery support but there are variety of intelligence factors played into this which is why they had to delay. there is also i say some geopolitical matters to contend with. the secretaries divide in the region and israel is trying to do its best to placate or alliances, agreements internationally are honored and up kept but that is exceedingly difficult like organizations like iraqi parliament calling for arab league to commit sanctions against israel and commit weapons of war or their militaries. larry: cameron, i'm 100% israel for this. they should blow upham mass. i don't know, you need to strike
4:30 pm
while the iron is hot. they have momentum except for a few outlyers and crazy kids in the united states. everybody wants israel to succeed. i hate to see them wait, cameron, i really do. the longer they wait, the more i worry about things that might somehow get in the way. give you the last thought on that one. >> yeah. i would agree with that generally. i also know the complexities of this particular hostage rescue scenario are unique. israel is not new to this training and tactics. every scenario is slightly different from another. we have the president coming in, i believe we i will be in israel this week, possibly on wednesday. depending on what his schedule looks like. that will also play in a factor but the israelis are very intentional and very purposeful. if there is delay there is strategic significance an consequence behind why that decision is being made. larry: all right. >> i have a lot of faith and support how they will execute this. larry: i do too. i pull back.
4:31 pm
i was just throwing that out there, just throwing it out there. you batted it down. you know stuff. i don't know anything about this i'm just rooting for them. cameron hamilton, thank you ever so much. we appreciate it. folks, coming up here on "kudlow," joe biden keeps saying there is no clear evidence that iran is involved in the barbaric attacks on israel but folks the facts say otherwise. i just don't get it. i don't get it. biden is so far doing pretty good. why does he have to deny iran? he has work to do with iran anyway. we have senator tommy tuberville to weigh in. people should stop giving advice to the idf, that includes me. i take all my advice back. let them clear out hamas. we'll talk about that with senator markwayne mullin from oklahoma. all that when "kudlow" returns. ♪

hostages. hamas, said some of the hostages are high-ranking israeli officers from the gaza brigades. about a dozen of the hostages are u.s. citizens. larry. larry: mike tobin, thank you, please be safe. we appreciate your reporting ever so much. >> reporter: got it. larry: joining us now senator tommy tuberville from the great state state of alabama. member of armed services committee as well as his other wisdoms. thank you for coming back. i want to express -- here, headline from the "new york post" this morning, sir, hamas fighters order, kill as many people as possible. documents found on dead militants in israel indicate massacres were a central objective what hamas had to do. so we know they are barbarians. i'm just a little concerned, senator tuberville, maybe you have intel from your armed services committee, that the idf not wait too long. all of a sudden diplomats and
4:40 pm
secretaries of state and maybe even potts will get in the way of the momentum to go in and completely annihilate and clean out hamas. what do you think, senator tuberville? am i mistaken in my concern? >> well this is a different type of war, larry. you know niece are a bunch of animals. they don't care whether they die or not. we have hostages there. we lost 30 americans. we have got american hostages, israeli hostages. this is a complete mess. we don't know what happened to their intelligence but that's for another day. i'm like you, longer you wait the tougher it is going to be but i think you have got hezbollah up in the northeast part and then you have got of course hamas on the western part there, they're just both kind of waiting to see -- they have been preparing for this larry and we all know that. they've been preparing for this for years. unfortunately joe biden the empty suit he is in we might as
4:41 pm
well had a empty white house for the last three years. gave them all the money back, dropped the sanctions, they were almost broke when president trump left office. now they haves of billion of dollars, they gave money to all the terrorists. they follow the company line when it comes to terrorism and this is things to joe biden and all the clowns around him. larry: with hamas in the south in gaza, hezbollah threat up north, is there any doubt in your mind that iran isn't the puppet master? >> no, i don't think there is any doubt. we've heard the intelligence over the last few years about what's going on. with all of this, sort of nuclear deal that joe biden has been trying to work with iran, i mean they are our enemy, every day they do something to make sure that they can destroy the infidels so to speak. they don't care whether they live or die. so this is a different war.
4:42 pm
it just concerns me about israel, you know i, they're going into gaza. they only have so many troops. most of them are reserve troops, larry. then hezbollah jumps in on this thing it could really get bad and again, we have two carrier groups over there right now. i don't know whether they're prepared to do anything but i hear now that they're thinking about sending troops or preparing our troops. probably doing that just in case hezbollah jumps in and all heck breaks loose over there but again this, you got to look at the problem here. the problem obviously is hamas who is bunch of animals and iran. the problem we have no leadership from joe biden. cohave stopped this. president trump had relations as good as anybody had in the middle east with the abraham accords but obviously they got different thoughts and democrats and joe biden have got everybody in a complete mess. larry: you know, just as last thought, senator, when trump left the white house iran was

helps israel. what do you think of that, sir? >> i appreciate the tough talk from this administration but this administration, larry, continues to deal with more appeasement than it does actually showing peace through strength. you can go after the snake's body all you want but most effective way of killing it is cutting the head off. the head of this is iran, we know it. we know 93% of the finances that goes to hamas is through iran. we know that hezbollah is 100% supported through, through iran and there is nothing that happens in the terrorist community in the middle east that iran isn't tied to. so if we're going to be serious about it, then it is time that we really get serious with iran. we need to make sure they never become a nuclear power. we need to make sure they understand that if they flinch we'll cut the snake's head off. larry: i'm not opposed to american military assistance if israel wants it. >> right. larry: i want to get your quick
4:45 pm
take on it. kt mcfarland, former national security advisor, deputy -- >> yes. larry: she raised a interesting potential paradigm, if united states can't starve iran, can't deal with iran, can't go back to sanctions on iran and nuclear proliferation in iran continues at least what the bidens up to now have proposed israel may have to take out nuclear weapons themselves in iran. israel has done this before. i wonder what you might think of such an action? >> remember what the idf is. the idf is israeli defense force. they're not your typical army. they are in place to defend israel and those that come against it. they know iran is behind this. they have been very outspoken, larry, by saying they will not allow iran to become a nuclear power and i believe this is a good excuse and a good opportunity for them to knock their nuclear capability out. i would 100% support it and hope
4:46 pm
they do. keep in mind, larry, what this is about is testing america's resolve. there is an alliance between china and who is trying to undercut the united states influence around the world through their belt and road initiative. you have north korea that is supplying weapons to iran that is currently supplying weapons to hezbollah, hamas and effort other terrorist organization and putin with his war in ukraine and our waivering of supporting ukraine, china says i don't think the resolve of the american people is there. let's go after their most important ally which is israel. iran, this is a win-win situation. they don't care about hamas. they understood they were going to die. they wanted to have the opportunity to kill individuals in israel at the same time undercutting the united states saying are they still the powerhouse they used to be and stand with their allies? so far i have to say they're talking the right talk out of the white house but i don't believe they have the backbone

to back it up unfortunately which is why we have to get a new president in there next november. larry: we will see. i agree with you, sir. anyway, we'll leave it there, senator markwayne mullin. thank you for your contribution. we appreciate it very, very much. >> larry, thanks for having me on. larry: you bet. folks, coming up next, i will repeat what i said last week, i want to see a bipartisan re-upping of the iranian sanctions, primary sanctions, secondary sanctions all dollar related sanctions. we'll talk about it with kansas senator roger marshall when "kudlow" returns. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors. ♪. let's find the right investments for your goals okay, great. j.p. morgan wealth management. ♪ is it possible to fall in love with your home... ...before you even step inside? ♪

♪. larry: all right, i still think the best thing the united states can do is bipartisan if possible, re-up, mandate the sanctions on iran, economic sanctions, energy sanctions, business sanctions, you name it. joining us to talk about it kansas senator roger marshall who joined us last week. thankthank you, senator marshal. senator marshall, we had senator joni ernst on, had been over to israel with a bipartisan group, pardon the phrase, even richard blumenthal from connecticut, my friend, he, they're all talking about sanctions, all right?
4:53 pm
joni feels she can get a bipartisan group. anyway whether it is bipartisan or not, i appeal to you, i think the best thing the bidens can do right now is reimpose the sanctions they most clearly have relaxed. >> yeah, exactly, larry. the question is will they enforce those sanctions. i want everyone to think about this iran has played joe biden like a cheap fiddle. under joe biden iran's federal reserves went from 6 billion to $60 billion. let me say that again, they went from six to $60 billion under this president. he is allowing iran to sell a billion dollars worth of oil every week to china. so joe biden has ignored sanctions for two years now and now he is lifting those sanctions. so everyone understands this. iran is the major state funder of terrorism across the world. we need to cut off the head of the snake. we need to stop this funding right now. we need to stop it yesterday. larry: take him out of the dollar financial system. take them off the fed wire.
4:54 pm
take them off the clearinghouse banks institute secondary sanctions. no third parties can do business or energy or banking. that's what has to be done. now, senator, the point is, these sanctions have already been mandated by congressional legislation even though the bidens have relaxed them. can you imagine that there is a bipartisan, i don't know, chuck schumer is talking big right now, everybody is backing israel. i would let israel handle hamas. i would let the united states try to bankrupt iran. do you think there is a bipartisan majority for it? >> you know there absolutely is. joe biden says one thing and he does another. think about what he's done. he has allowed iran to multiply the ghost ships. these ships are taking iranian oil under another nation's flag to china. he purposely ignores what's going on. this is note the first time joe biden has been breaking laws
4:55 pm
either. refunding people who borrowed money for student loans, repaying those is breaking the law as well. joe biden ignores the law but we certainly can do more and more, stronger actions here in congress. that is what we need to do here to your point. larry: i say let the idf handle hamas. the united states should bankrupt iran. that is the best way to go at it. senator roger marshall we always appreciate your input. thanks for coming back on, sir. we'll talk soon. folks, i'm kudlow. we'll take a quick break. we will be back with my last word. ♪.
4:56 pm
5:00 pm
points, first of all, let the idf do its job. wipe out hamas and take care of the hostages. they know what they're doing. second, united states wants to help re-impose the toughest economic energy, banking, commerce and business sanctions on iran. bankrupt iran will be a huge help to israel because it's iran that banks hamas and hezbollah for that matter. those are my two points. trust the idf and re-impose the sanctions and then everybody's got to watch liz macdonald right here, right there, following. elizabeth: thank you, larry. what you said about iran would help the world too. great stuff. tonight, this is being called absurd, iran negotiate a
