10:08 am
or when they will do it but we have to make darn sure we are ready and we have the capabilities in the region to help israel defend itself and quite frankly defend defend our own people and security. >> it appears the president is frustrated. he reported this week biden quote were netenyahu if he escalates again he shouldn't count on the u.s. to bail him out, the u.s. officials said. leaking this detail to a domestic audience might send one message but are you at all concerned that a foreign audience seen this might be daylight between the u.s. and israel and it might only embolden iran? >> we've been very consistent about not wanting to see this
10:09 am
war escalates and get broader. we've also been consistent about proving not just with words but with action that we are going to stand up and defend israel when iran launched 300 missiles and drones we had aircraft and fighter planes in the air to knock them down and now we added additional naval and air assets to defend israel again to be proven time and time again that we are going to support israel. >> very quickly because i have two other topics to ask you about, was the president briefed on this and did she agree and how she communicated to netenyahu that she intends to continue biden's policy towards israel? >> i won't speak to future policies that the vice president might and actually she become elected that's well beyond the scope of my expertise but she absolutely was part of the decision to add additional resources. >> this week the secretary of defence with the plotters the death penalty. president biden did ask him to do that? >> was an independent decision by hammond and his authorities with the defence department. >> the administration had a hard time defending it this week i want to play that for you. >> were talking to the victims

10:12 am
wake of this deal. we have assured them we are trying to get mark to be a part of this deal. they were just not biting it doesn't mean everything due of these deals you will learn. you get a little knowledge of the perspective of the other side. >> joining us as the south carolina senator thank you for being here, president trump reacted to this prisoner exchange at the rally last night. >> i like to congratulate him for making another great deal. we have these people in. 59 hostages i never paid anything. the release some of them there really some of the greatest killers anywhere in the world, some of the most evil killers,.
10:13 am
>> do you believe this deal increases putin leverage over the last? >> absolutely. we have a cycle here. new cues some of things they did do only releases them when they have to release these spies and killers. i'll think we would have that fire if trump were still president. they believe they are weak in taking advantage of us. >> they facilitated 250 rebels for tumeric's in yemen act militants. how is this any different than what president biden did this week?
10:14 am
>> releasing killers and thugs all over the world and in custody russia for a national of crimes they didn't commit they asked for the people to be released this is complete. with president trump being president not one missile was fired at american ships in the red sea. when trump was president he was not attacked killing more than any time since the holocaust when president trump did not invade ukraine. killing everybody in the entire world. there's a lot of differences
10:15 am
between the trump presidency biden, and harris. >> more broadly how does this affect the war in ukraine, there's been somewhat of a stir in kyiv that they show they can get things done and that might have some consequences for their country which is done and that might have some donating money and also weapons. what does this mean for ukraine? >> i think the best thing for ukraine is to continue to resist the russian invasion. the weapons using to get a fact and at the end of the day with another sign of weakness. getting awarded and i'm worried that the iranians and chinese are watching making a more provocative not less. >> the child the importance of diplomacy and alliances in making this prisoner exchange

10:29 am
a majority that elect leaders that agree with them when there's a majority of congress in favour of a policy this policy should get to the president's desk. kamala harris is probably going to run a series of performed -- reforms promised on day one to become a dictator and suspends democratic norms. to humbly call opponents i think there'll be a clear contrast with kamala harris that will run on the platform to make democracy work and don't trump that's promising to suspend democracy. >> a very interesting conversation centre, i appreciate her time and thank you for coming on thank you. first we will have the form

that's kind of our report card that these three promises in the declaration are. how is scoring today? that's what it's about. >> so how do we solve the problems in the book? >> well we at the learn how to trust one another. right? not everything needs to be solved by a distant government. sometimes we should remember what was talked about working with one another, that means listening as well as speaking and that means learning how to lose as well as win. i mean stressing the person with whom he disagreed loves this country every bit as pretty much as you do. my friend -- good friend steve says if i listened almost anyone talk for long enough i know that i'll find so they may say where we can agree on. maybe we should start there. >> the book is a collection a fascinating and somewhat infuriating stories that i think real people we should all know their stories. which should spark a conversation about where we go from here. best wishes with the book and thank you for your time. >> thank you shannon.
