Speaker 1 What is today is a former Governor Edrindell. Also, he was the DNC chairman of our country, and we got an update before Governor on what’s going on in the GOP. But I figured we have to find out what’s going on in the Democratic Party too, So can you give us an update of what you think is going on?

You know, President Biden has said he wants to run for election. All of a sudden last week they had the Vice president on sixty minutes trying to enhance her image. I mean, what’s your gut feeling? What do you think?

Speaker 2 Well, here’s the way I think it shapes up. John. There is nervousness among the donors, in some of the elected officials that Joe Biden won’t be able to won’t be a strong candidate because that Americans have about his health, and those doubts have been expressed in the polls. That’s number one. Number two. There are some doubts that he

would make it through a four year term. And then their doubts about what type of president Kamala Harris would be or she’s done better lately and I think she’s improved her overall image, but there are doubts. But The interesting thing is although Americans when they’re polled, there’s something like seventy percent of Democrats don’t want Joe Biden to

run for the second term because they’re afraid of your health. If you ask them the second question, Joe Biden running against Donald Trump, who would you vote for? They’re almost unanimous that they’d vote for Joe Biden. And it makes sense because Joe Biden has done a very good job as president. He’s done a great job in foreign affair.

He rallied NATO and put it into a cohesive force like nobody has been able to do in years. He’s had a great role in leading the fight to help Ukraine call its own with Russia. He’s just been a very good president in foreign affairs and domestically, he’s passed more legislation, really seriously, legislation that attacks our problem in

anybody in recent time. So I think Joe Biden will run, can win, and will win, especially if the candidate is to Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 Understood. One of the biggest problems the Democrats have is the open borders. I mean, why hasn’t President Biden I worked harder on getting better control. I mean, we all believe in immigration, but we want to have a little bit of checks and balances so we don’t get any terrorists.

Of course.

Speaker 2 Oh no, you’re absolutely right, and I think that’s something that they’re intending to do something about. If you noticed in this bill that the Democrats are pushing in the Senate which would give money to Ukraine, money to Israel, it’s also giving substantial money to the border to bulk up our security on the border. Billions of dollars included

in that bill. It isn’t as well known as the fact that Israel and the Ukraine are going to get money, but there’s significant money in that for strengthing the border. I think everyone agrees that has to be done. There’s no question about it. We have to take the appropriate action.

Speaker 1 There understood, What else would you like to tell the American people on the Sunday morning about which way the world is going? I mean, I understand the Jewish population is very, very upset, and the Jewish population was traditionally mostly Democrats.

Speaker 2 Right, It’s funny the Jewish population is upset and the Muslim American population is upset. So it’s a neat trick if you can do it. But I think Joe Biden has done the right thing. He came out strongly for Israel.

He has emphasized that Israel has a right to seek the destruction of a mass because a mos has said in its charter that it exists for one thing to wripe Israel off the face of the earth, and a moss.

Just yesterday, not yesterday, just Thursday, Mosque came out with a statement saying they intend to do what they did on October seven, again and again and again. So Israel has no choice but to try to decimate them and put them out of business once and for all. So that’s the first part of it. He’s been strong for Israel.

But on the other hand, he wants Israel to give opportunity for life saving supplies food, water, some fuel, medical supplies to get into Gaza. So there’s the innocent Palestinians who aren’t part of this battle can have the supplies they need to survive. Of course, Israel, we should know two things about this, John. Number one, is I asked

people who were so upset about Israel killing me innocent Palestinian citizens in their effort to take a Moss out. I said, if a Moss hadn’t invaded Israel on October seventh and killed fourteen hundred Israeli citizens. How many Palestinians would have lost their lives? None, because Israel had no reason to go in, hadn’t gone in to Gaza.

Speaker 1 There was peaceful. There was peaceful over fifteen.

Speaker 2 Years, right, So a moss is to blame for those Palestinians who are I don’t.

Speaker 1 Know good Jewish too. And the way I heard it, and I wonder if you have a reaction to it, was that uh Uh Saudi Arabia was about to make peace with Israel uh and Saudi being uh Uh Sunnies and the she Ies being Iran vice versa. I forget uh Iran panicked when the Sunni When when Saudi Arabia

was going to make peace with Israel and they pressed the Hamas button.

Speaker 2 I’m sure that’s true. The timing was leads you only one conclusion. That was upset the Apple Court to to stop Israel and Saudi Arabia from coming together. And I succeeded, at least it succeeded for temporary, Yes, But there’s no question that Hamas was a blame. And it’s amazing to me how people forget that Israel wouldn’t have hurt one

Palestinian had a mask not come in, and butcherly agreed.

Speaker 1 I believe. I don’t want to run out of time, but I have to say this. I believe, and I’ve been told by certain intelligence people that certain people in Iran, whoever is the bin Laden of twenty twenty three, paid ten thousand dollars of families for ten thousand hamas killers to go in there and kill, kill, kill, And the

ten thousand dollars for ten thousand hamas killers only one hundred million dollars, which is chump change for an oil company, right.

Speaker 2 No question about it. And I think we should all remember this when people started rallying against Israel, Israel didn’t want this fight. They didn’t want to hurt anybody. And by the way, I think they’ve done well. If the citizens of God had listened to Israel and taken the first two weeks, there was virtus no killing, and they

could have all gone to the north and avoided the I mean, to the south and avoided the being in the line of firestood, we had a lot of.

Speaker 1 Governor Rendell, thank you for coming on, and we’ll catch up with you again. Real soon. I hope we have peace in the world because we need it.

Speaker 2 And one thing we should do, John is Presty Israeli once this is over, to get a two state solution once and for all.

Speaker 1 Governor Rendell, we’ll talk again real soon. Thank you so much, thank you,
