nathan, what really _ collective punishment. nathan, what really needs _ collective punishment.what really needs to be done i collective punishment. nathan, what really needs to be done in that sense, considering you have written about it, what really is the strategy here? what needs to be done is to address the root causes of these periodic bouts of violence, the issue is not the periodic violence, but the systems of ethnic subjugation that palestinians are subjected to. and the un, public school put out a report about 1100 palestinians forcibly transferred from their communities, the evacuation of entire communities as the slow—motion ethnic cleansing in the west bank and it's been napping since 2022, since the beginning of 2022. no one has done anything to stop that. hora done anything to stop that. how done anything to stop that. how do ou done anything to stop that. how do you see _ done anything to stop that. how do you see the _ done anything to stop that. how do you see the kind _ done anything to stop that. how do you see the kind of large—scale coordinated attacks the

nathan: thank you for having me.: since the attacks last saturday, there have been mounting concerns about the war expanding beyond israel and hamas. there are mulitple powers in this volatile region, both nation-states and various militant groups. hezbollah, the lebanese terror and political movement, like hamas, wants to see the total destruction of israel and is supported by iran. that is much of the concern from u.s. and western officials. to explain the how the political power may be shifting in the region from this week's events, we are joined by aaron david miller. he was a longtime state department official under both democratic and republican administrations who focused on middle east peace for decades. he is now a senior fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace, a d.c.-based think tank. kim ghattas is a senior fellow at columbia university's institute for global politics. a longtime journalist in the region, she is author of "black wave: saudi arabia, iran and the 40-year rivalry that unrave

[ laughter ] the white house announced last night that president biden's scheduled stop in jordan has been canceled, making it the second jordan to get shut down this week. [ laughter ] president biden arrived this morning in israel, making him the first president to visit israel during a time of war, which is pretty dangerous, but he should be okay

nathan for being here. i want to hit upon what ranking member risch was talking about with regard to the energy development. it is, on his first day and office president biden enacted executive order went to quote here to promote ending international financing for carbon intensive fossil fuel based energy. while simultaneously advancing sustainable development and agreeing recovery. however, here in mattis we are attempting to same thing. would you agree? >> yes. who do you think is the highest the state that consumes most renewable energy what state you think that is not expecting to make that answer. >> i wish it was nebraska we are number 11th 25% the top state of south dakota at 50%. think about that. 50%. of renewable energy. we are making pusher. states around the area here. so pennsylvania 6.1% ranks number 42 virginia at 7.8% number 38 new jersey, 4.3% number 47. so you can see even with the push that we have here many states are single digit percentage of renewable energy. and yet you just said you

we've prime minister nathan, yahoo! i'm urged israel to observe the rules of war. he said to us would help make sure israel has all the help it needs. they said we're going to work closely with our partners. it is and around the world. to ensure is what has what is easy to defend the citizens of cities and to respond to these attacks. as i said yesterday, my commitment is security and the safety of jewish people is on shake. the united states has israel's back well with president biden, again throwing us support behind you as well, but also urging some restraint. i asked the double use of special correspondent in washington i if for him, how biden's comments are being interpreted it's, it's a message that we've heard the us president make for the 2nd time. jared, yesterday, when he addressed the nation in this, in, in that speech where we saw the secretary, anthony blink, and on one side and vice president campbell harris on the other. he said that, you know, democracies have to abide by rule of law even in situations like this, where there is a war. she said it ag

press office benjamin nathan. yeah. who is heard asking troops whether they are ready for the next stage of israel's military operation against time us. it is really military says it has prepared for a coordinated era ground enable offensive own casa. israel's government has mobilized over 300000 reserve troops since a mass attacked israel. israel also issued an evacuation order to civilians in northern guys that urging them to leave a head of an expected ground offensive is rarely official said to main roads. would allow people to escape safely and relocate to the southern region of the water while the gas or wetlands that cut the territory into israel's military has already been attacking targets. it says are linked to hum us the terrorist groups as 9 people live is holding hostage. i've been killed in those rates in the past 24 hours civilians and guys have also been among the casualties. rushing injure to hospital after an air in kansas city. israel's military stepped up air strikes on how mass targets a week after

nathan for being here. i want to begin by recognizing dfc's finalizing the commitment for up to three to million dollars in the investment fund for the three c's initiative. i think that is very important investment. and especially given ukraine recently being granted a partner nation to the investment initiative i hope you will consider this as another way that we can support what is happening in ukraine. like most of us on this committee i was very disappointed when they pass the continuing resolution on saturday it did not fund ukraine and the way we had talked about and believe it should be. and i wonder, for the benefit of those people who say why are we supporting ukraine, would you talk about the interconnection between our economy here and what is happening in ukraine? why our investments there have some real benefit for the american public and the businesses in the u.s.? >> first i would say senator, i think it is the right thing to do. i have been to ukraine three times in the last year. our prede

nathan, yahoo, who's on there. he is lead issue though. i do not think he is a re leader. i think he's being led by his own personal criminal agenda, but through he is so called leadership preferred him us over the but a senior and authority. and he actually nourished to this how much people in order not to negotiate with the people with the but a single authority people because dealing with the palestinians. what that politically elected, or appointed, or selected or recognized by the state and re present that these means are punished in your state. and this is something that they didn't like. so you prefer the extra mist over the moderate and now he's invested in pays back. so bank to be the 2nd is that on the always frightened to this from his political base, which of the settlers and mainly the aggressive religious fanatics, settlers in the west bank and the band. and all that is really is around garza and he, a band of all the other is really isn't in order to save. he's a saker. the settlers in the great, the length of these really in the west bank and they, they sto

and it's interesting that they hang nathan hale. what's really interesting, though, to me is that the british evidently took a bunch of other people prisoner during the fire or immediately afterwards. some say they rounded up 20. some say they rounded up hundred or 200. but the really interesting thing is that they appear to have let most of them go. and so a lot of historians have pointed to this and said the british had nothing, had no good evidence. they had to just let all these people out. but i think the british basically concluded, look, we already killed and punished a few people on the spot. we made an example. right. we don't have fantastic evidence about the rest of these people. and we're trying to make nice reconcile the americans to their allegiance. let's just let them go. right. that's really the only choice have. we're not going to be able to come up with some kind of trials that are going to satisfy everybody. and we don't want to kill an innocent executed an innocent person by mistake. so we're just going to kind

an underlying issue based on that press conference with the belgian prime minister and during the nathan just nathan ministerial meeting at the headquarters of the military alliance during the press conference. as he managed to r, a specific question to president zaleski for the w, whether he felt that the, the, the, the issue going on in the middle east. right. and i made sort of diverse what i lived, the support that ukraine is seeing for ms. west impala is taking, listen, this is all i want to be honest with you, of course, is too dangerous situation for people. health? well, for people in ukraine, for in this long war, long tour more, you know, and of course, everybody's afraid of it. and of course, everyone is afraid that if, if there are some other tragedies worst and the war with all the respect to the people. yes. and of course the route, you know, we're understandable volume of military support. what pop, especially united states, and not the bonded and you press what, what they can give you. and of course, everybody's a friend and i think are also the russian calling to meet on

nathan, all of us are sharing information to support the effort. if this is proven to be a deliberate attack on critical things brochure, it will be a serious incident. i would be met by united. i'm the tournament response. i raced with ministers. the need to move forward on the vacation of swedish membership. and i'm glad that the turkish defense minister confirmed the 30th stands bonds, the agreement from britain, this defined or swedish accession. so i'll expect that the turkish government will submit to the accession and protocol to the ground national assembly and work with this. i'm glad to ensure speed, the ratification. i'm with up, i'm ready to take your questions. start with the, the associated press in the middle of the room here please. secretary general, you said holding quote from the associated press, you said in your opening remarks concerning is around the nation should try to take advantage to you. is that concerned among allies, the russian indeed might be trying to use this in an in what way do you feel that it may do that? than

. >> and plus nathan sheets calling for a hawkish hold. >>> and we're live on the ground in israel as the idf prepares for a possible ground offensive ordering advantage and i was more than one million civilians from the north in the next 24 hours. >>> but we begin with the market. next guest says it is a close call as to whether the u.s. gets a recession, but he is still expecting one, predicting that we could get rate cuts before the end of next year if the economy slows. joining us now is nathan sheets. good to have you. we've had a day or so to slice and dice cpi. a lot of discussion about shelter away from home and so forth. how does it feed the fed i guess communication over the next few weeks? >> yeah, i think bottom line on this cpi report is that it was a reminder to jay powell and his colleagues, yes, they made some progress on inflation, the road back to 2% will be long and challenging. and they still have some work to do. and as a result of that, i think now the fed is going to be kind of shifting its discussion from how high go we do we need to bew long we'll keep the rat

nathan, thank you nathan rao.tunately , we are >> yes, unfortunately, we are going the new week again going into the new week again talking heavy talking about flooding and heavy rain . this is weather warnings rain. this is weather warnings from the met office again across the east of scotland, which is the east of scotland, which is the most the region that was most particular hit with storm babet last . another rain bearing last week. another rain bearing system coming in from the west to raise coffee will be pleased to raise coffee will be pleased to one coming to hear this one is coming in from west . we are from the west. but we are looking at heavy rain all the way the week there way through the week and there are place yet are flood warnings in place yet again the scottish again from the scottish environment agency environment protection agency and from the english environment agency . so once again, flooding , agency. so once again, flooding, heavy rain. this is areas that have had almost two month's wort

nathan, let's start with you. knowing who's leading us in this time of international peril, what are our options here? >> i think the only option is the option that works, and that is peace through strength. we need to show iran that they have a lot more to lose by poking at us than they have to gain. and unfortunately, what we heard from the administration is tough talk but not a whole lot of action to match those words. in the past week i think we've seen eight, honestly laura, i have lost track of how many, about eight attacks by iranian proxies on american forces. one actually resulted in the death of a u.s. civilian contractor. and the response has been tough talk but no action. that is not going to scare iran off. if we want to avoid being drawn into a major conflict in the middle east, the best way to accomplish that is to demonstrate strength to iran so that they decide they're going to sit this one out on the sidelines. >> laura: richard, the biden team gave what seemed to be conflicting answers over the

nathan. yeah. who's at least folks on the border. i similar to profess to attacked by land sea and, and also on the program the world health organization says, and it's very auto forcing people to evacuated from hospitals and northern god. that is a debt center drawing and go in and stretch over the hostages being held in god's up some families for you. the government should focus on seeing the captive support stepping up for this reaction against the um, the massage s while back into the program. israel says it's moving towards the next stage of it's offensive again. scott's a prime minister, benjamin nathan. yeah. who's valley troops on the border? seeing more is coming in the campaign against some of the military. so as preparing a coordinated air ground and able to offensive is that has mobilized or 300000 resolves since the mazda attacks last weekend. dw is rebecca to us as an as towed. now they just rarely bought over the guys. so she told us more about the expect to have gone defensive. we have confirmation this evening from t

fine, mr. benjamin nathan. yeah. who's riley troops on the border? thing more is coming in. the campaign against him on the ministry says it's prophetic, a co ordinated air ground. i'm naval offensive is road has mobilized over 300000 because of us. since the last step of attacks last weekend, dw is rebecca to us. it's an as start know based rarely border with god. so she told us more about the expect the down defense of as we have confirmation this evening from the military that they are in days preparing for an air ground and sea attack, as you just heard. as you also reported, netanyahu has visited troops in the region you visited to of a keep would seem that campuses that were uh, that the scenes of some of the risk attacks on the weekend. and he's spoke to the troops there. and he, he said to them, prepared to be ready full, the next steps of sort of preparing everybody, including everybody here in israel, the nation that the next step is going to be a ground invasion. it certainly appears that way of saying reporting from here all week, and we're really noticing a buil

and benjamin nathan. yeah. who is using the word war in this concert x, which is something you don't often hear from from him in the, in terms of this kind of fighting. what else can you tell us about the conflict itself is fighting ongoing. now, you might certainly ease on going, this is a moving situation. it has been all day. it's scrambling to try and ascertain what's really going on. we're getting you to report some confirmation from these really military as well. that fighting is ongoing in several towns and communities around that goes to a strip area around the board of fence where infield traders with warehouse militants have invited into. uh, is there any territory they have taken over some of these communities? and these really military is still struggling to take control of those areas to try to take back control some of the videos that we have been se, uh, seems a hesitate, civilians being captured civilians. is there any military? i'm sorry, i'm not familiar since taking over the entire community

so it's wigs >> yeah. >> seth: and, um, and they're even -- i will say, like, even nathan's charactereah. >> seth: it does not feel like you maybe spent a ton of money on wigs in this film here you guys are with opposite hair >> this is the wigs. [ laughter ] so it -- >> seth: now i know this is both -- look, this is a -- [ laughter ] >> wait, can we even tell that that was us? could you even >> who is who? >> >> seth: now, when did you -- it is very funny, because obviously the first time you guys see each other in the movie you're taken aback by how you look identical to one another. >> identical >> do you remember the day when, as, you know, young improvisers, you first came up with the idea of like, "wouldn't it be funny if we had this as the jumping off point? >> yeah. we were like, "for sure this will one day become a movie. >> seth: yes [ laughter ] >> this is the normal, like, how most movies are made they -- you do them in the basement of a grocery store. >> yeah. >> and then that's "kramer vs. kramer." >> yeah, that one started that way. [ laughter ] >> seth: did -- have you

although as hostages match we have nathan yahoo, intel, a v relatives of the captives expressed concern that they were not kept in full dime. not the attacks on gaza having dined with the lives of the 229 people that it's believed. how much is currently holding? let's see now from one of the relatives of the captive. we were very loud and clear . thinking about the situation now. we were speaking about our concern about what we see in about worried about the operation that they've been done or done. now we are very worried about our dearest that they're there. and we don't know that even though military operations there always hostages under consideration of nobody with the injured and of course we say that we want a simple stages that all do most the, just the part that was a relative or one of the hostages. we can cross now to dw corresponding and tanya clean my engine roost of them for us, tanya, what more can you tell us about this meeting with nathan? yeah, i think 1st of all, it was a very important meeting for those families that represent uh, some of the families uh that have lo

nathan, y'all wants to them, you know, the to die. he's own hands. and i'm here. we heard somebody is really defense minister that all rules of warfare are abolished. what, what do you make of that statement? a fully statement. it does not reflect the operational blends of these rarely defense bosses which are subject to international law. obviously in war rather than in the day to day operations. there is less care for our uh, surgical walton quotes, operations. yes. the risk of that the real damage of civilians including children are being held. but nevertheless, the idea that israel can adjust the x want to delete one of the leave without 3 gods for our loews are for. this is not the dental and the wage, the really 3 foot falls. and if they get the folders so the opposite, they will be surveyed. what do you make of israel's tactic of a total blockade on? does that because now we have some 2000000 people in the gaza strip, who are innocent, who are left with our water and electricity. human rights watch is calling this war crime. so again, this is the starting m

nathan in columbus, ohio. good afternoon, nathan. caller: good afternoon. i wanted to call to make a point about jim jordan that i think is underappreciated. and that is that jim jordan is known -- best known at ohio state university for his role in covering up a sex scandal in the 1980's. i think that alone wholly disqualifies him from congress. in addition to his actual conduct in office. and i just think that is underappreciated. i also wanted to comment on your point about those new york moderates, i think it's going to be a big problem for the republicans, for any republican candidate, trying to get enough votes to become speaker, because they're going to have people who are in districts that voted for joe biden, like mike lawler who can't vote for someone like jim jordan because he's too toxic to their brand and their district. i think jim jordan -- i think he's wholly disqualified himself and i think he's in a tough jam even if he hadn't done that. host: are you a student at o.s.u.? caller: i am. i also wanted to say about the sex abuse scandal regar

marc thiessen and nathan sales. let's go live to the israel lebanon border where greg palkot is. watching this area to see if there's another front that opens in the war. what can you tell us? >> absolutely, martha. we are here at the israeli lebanon border. for the past couple days, we've been watching israel and the iranian-backed hezbollah militants duking it out literally as the region roils in turmoil. there were clashes in consulates throughout the mideast. the arab street dismisses the israeli evidence that they did not hit the hospital. upset about the soaring death toll in gaza as israel pounds hamas for its hostage taking. here at the border, we have witnessed as late as a couple hours ago a steady stream of strikes and skirmishes involving hezbollah and it's real. there was a fresh hit today aiming for the army but falling short, landing in a civilian area. there were three injuries. militants using rockets, anti-tank, mortars. whatever they can get their hands hahn. for israel, we can tell you they have built up a major presence here. we're within an israeli artillery

start again , by the way, this time with strong cards against nathan and his supporters, and they willbably take up arms, and this means the beginning. civil war between the jews and this means the collapse of our invitation thank you for agreeing to this conversation and i wish you success. be patient. thank you, dear viewers, for accompanying us in this conversation. i sincerely thank you. i wish you success . in condemning the crimes of the zionists, the silence of the arrogant media and human rights claimants. now that this big crime has happened and keeping silent, it is clear that this is really america and they are all supporters of crime and child wrestling and so on. but the truth is never hidden. it means visible to everyone people, this crime is really hard and what the regime is doing to children. this nation is the ashura nation coming here. this nation is the nation that is coming here. it is the nation that is taking the lesson from seyyed al-shahhadah. people of ahvaz from molawi square to salman farsi street by crossing the karun river on the rahimai route. they travel

joining me now is nathan sales, former ambassador at large and counter terror accord nature for the trumpdministration. mr. ambassador, good to see you don't. what does he mean by that? is he talking about israel? america, or a combo? >> well, laura, i think it's clear that this is a shot across the bough of the united states. and israel alike. there has been a lot of focus on hamas and its responsibility for this deadly attack. but, make no mistake. iran's fingerprints are all over this attack. iran has been funding hamas hundreds of millions of dollars over the past number of years. boosted their capabilities for precisely this kind of terrorism. now, just today, iran upped the ante yet again. we are not just talking about words, laura we are talking about deeds. iranian terror proxies in iraq launched three drones, suicide drones at american soldiers in iraq. thankfully we were able to take them out before they caused any death or damage. but that gives you a sense that iran doesn't take the administration's word for it when we say sit on the sidelines or there will be consequences. ir

nathan, yeah. who is heard asking soldiers, are you ready for what is coming is visit comes as the is really military says it has prepared a coordinated defensive involving air ground and naval forces and is real issues and evacuation order to guidance before.

i to admit i've read a lot about nathan bedford forrest. i've never heard about him as a friendly or a help here. so that's a new one. but thank you. depends on the neighbor. so you really get these are these are really thought provoking for for me i'm thinking through that that we don't argue well we don't debate. well i the alluvial collective which is based here in jackson uses something called the welcome table where you engage in conversation around difficult i think that is a really good first step but we're also hearing the two museums, the civil rights history museum and mississippi, where we've got our traveling exhibit and the emmett till center upstairs and we put up a historical sign marker, the. one to where emmett till, a 14 year old child, his body came out of the tallahatchie river and someone thought that the way to debate that, whether that memorial be there, was to shoot it up. and the first one was put up in 2018 was thrown in the tallahatchie river, the second was shot. so many times that you cannot read the writing on

and because nathan, you know, knows that he does not have the political low support. he needs to pursue a war. he ask um some of these uh opposition uh, leaders to join him and the provides some popular issue in whatever major decisions uh he must, uh, accept. now either on the defensive or on the offensive and perhaps even to broaden the war. we try not always focused on god, john, bro, the need to live alone and who knows? maybe even that to you wrong. all right, let's get back to my guest. robert berman, who joins us live from tel aviv. hopefully the connection is more stable. this time i'm robert, my apologies for that. you were telling us about what it's like now in tel aviv where you are, if you can just continue your thoughts on that. yeah, so a lot of people are afraid that they're going to start killing the hostages. so i hit the phones, i spent a few days heading the phones before it became a chore guy. i actually ran a non profit that i started and i raised over $20000000.00 for the non profit. so i spoke to a number of a high network individuals in london

accident in questioner nathan diament, thank you for being here. to get to lloyd austin, ssecretary of defense in brusses during a speech taking questions. listen. >> no country would live with the wholesale killing and kidnapping of innocent people, including the very old and very young. yesterday, mentioned the changes to our force matchup on sundayture to reinforce deterrence in the region. i want to underscore that message, nobody should try to take advantage of this vile hamas assault to cause more bloodshed or instability. our support for israel is rock solid. we're working urgently to get israel what it needs to defend itself, including munitions and iron dome intercepters and we will do so even as we continue to support the people of ukraine as they fight against russian aggression. make no mistake, we can and will stand by israel even as we stand by ukraine. united states can walk and chew gum at the same time. let me turn to the agenda of this defense ministerial. especially in challenging times, it's great to be back at nato. let me than

at this conference, benjamin franklin cheatham and nathan forrest were likely present. patrick cleburne, several other top commanders were not. they were trying to get their forces on the road and in position that morning. but certainly, affect conference, which we don't have a verbatim record of, but we have impressions of, hood seemed very upset. he expressed displeasure with the performance of the army at spring hill. he blamed mostly cheatham. i happen to agree with him. i think cheatham deserved some of the blame. he also , i think rather unfairly, blamed the absent cleburne. it was certainly displease, and we could probably give him a pass for this, understandably upset about what happened. certainly, his demeanor was far from sunny. according to later accounts, some of them years later, at least one of his generals may have left that meeting rather shaken, in fact, at hood's anger. this is where we get the infamous rattlesnake quote the some of you may have heard about his attitude that morning. the truth is, as a historian, we rely on evidence. of the evidence i

of this, who had also had an earlier encounter with his, shall we say, colorful cavalry commander nathan forest in forest, apparently briefly conferred, and according to his postwar biographer, forrest said the position was, quote, exceedingly formidable. there's that word again. and in his opinion, force said it could not be by a direct assault except by great and unnecessary loss of life, would apparently did not agree. he said, i don't think the federals are going to stand strong. and he thinks that that they're not willing to take a stand there. and he had apparently i'm sorry. forrest then responded by by basically begging for permission to lead a flank maneuver. good. i'm forrest wanted to take his cavalry potentially reinforced with an infantry division and ford the harp of below or above the city and hopefully get in the rear of the union position presumably before nightfall and cut the road to nashville. that was something that forest strongly pushed for, who had rejected it out of hand. this apparently led to a tantrum on the part of forest which may or may not have included so
