Speaker 1 The former Speaker of the House, Nuke Gangrich Newt’s so great to have you here on Katz and Cosby. And you know, I have to add, there is so much going on. What do you think first off, the President’s going to say tonight and do you think maybe it’s going to be in timing with the ground invasion from Israel?

Speaker 2 Well, I have no idea. I think the Israelis have been very methodical. They were slowed down by President Biden coming and by the British Prime Minister coming, but at some point I suspect they will move. They’ve certainly done a great deal to soften up a Moss with air strikes and have hit Guza with vastly more air strikes

than we had used, for example, in Fallujah, so presumably they’re prepared. They’ve also been very patient, in part to try to get civilians out of the way, to try to get them to move into southern Gaza to not be in the major firefight which will be in northern Gaza.

In terms of what you know, I thought, I mean, Biden’s speeches are pretty good. I think his the things happening behind the scenes aren’t really as good, and there’s not much action attached to him. But my guess is he’s going to say the war, we have to defend Israel, we have to defend Ukraine. I need a huge amount

of money. The Congress has to get us act together. I’m going to send them up a proposal and I certainly going to hope they’re going to pass it pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 But now is he can to finally say more than Don’t you know? It infuriates me that every time Allie says if anyone who wants to interfere, and he’s referring obviously I would assume to Iran and some others, but he won’t call Iran Iran by name, And all he says is if somebody else wants to step in. Don’t

that doesn’t sound very forceful.

Speaker 2 Well, I put nine questions on X today about the speech tonight. I mean, he should mention how he should mention Iran. He should demand the gutter kick out all of the Hamas leadership that charrently have sanctuary and very nice places to live in gutter. He ought to say the one hundred million dollars is not going to go

to the Gaza until the hostages are released. He should say that if in fact has Belah launches any major offensive, that the purpose of having two nuclear carrier battle groups in eastern Mediterranean is to annihilate has Belah if that happens, I mean, they’re not just sitting there as postage stamps, or are they? I mean, this would be like like

Barack Obama’s famous red line in Syria, which turned out to not exist. Now, either we’ve spent two major battle groups there with enormous firepower to do something, or we haven’t. And there are a lot of things that that Obama that Biden could say, But he could also come out and say that he condemns the pro terrorist members of Congress,

all of them in his own who have been saying things that are total lies and who are clearly committed to the destruction of Israel. So there are a number of positive, specific things he could say. He could also repeat that the total destruction of Hamas is a legitimate goal.

Speaker 1 Yeah, you’re right, and there can’t be Gray. I just hear so much great new Gangridge, don’t you from this President?

Speaker 2 Yeah? But look, but if you’re the American establishment, you love Gray. You’re afraid of the world. You’re afraid to use our power. You feel guilt ridden because after all, you know, I mean, look at Biden. He’s a white male.

Imagine the burden of guilt he must carry if you’re a left winger who you know? And so you have all of these people out here, who in the Secretary of State, who’s an absurdity, and who is being paid a million dollars a year but the University of Pennsylvania probably with Chinese money before he became Secretary of State.

I mean, all of these people go well, go around wringing their hands. There are times in life when you have to win and you have to win at any cost. That’s how we won the Civil War, That’s how we won World War Two. We have flinched ever since. When you flinch in war, you lose. And the Israelis now

have had such a terrible event, with such terrible atrocities. You know, I don’t want to hear anybody. This is why I’m so angry at the pro terrorist members of Congress. I mean, how can you look at forty babies being killed, some of them being beheaded, and not be enraged. And I don’t want to see a penny go to Gaza

until all the hostages, not just Americans. All the hostages are released. This is nonsense to think that we’re somehow we’re going to make it easy for the people of Gaza while Hamas is engaged in terrible terrorismta.

Speaker 3 I agree completely, and particularly take a look at Biden and the Ukraine.

Speaker 4 He doled out piece by piece by piece, still.

Speaker 3 Late on the Abrams tanks. They don’t have the F sixteen’s. If he’d given everything they wanted right at the start, Russia would be defeated. Who would be out? The Russia would be coming to the West, and we would be better off with respective.

Speaker 5 The biggest problem is we’re using American money. You know how we’re using American money because Iran is producing three million, four hundred thousand battles a day now and they’re only under allowed four hundred thousand battles. So how did they go from four hundred to three million, four hundred thousand that’s two billion dollars a week.

Speaker 4 He loosen Biden loosened the sanctions, and Russia got all the money for the Ukraine War and the Wagoner group from American dollars because we allowed the oil to go up to ninety dollars one hundred.

Speaker 1 Dollars and John, we’re cutting off our supply here.

Speaker 6 I mean, let’s not talk about how much it’s the American people are paying the money. The American people are getting poorer, and the money goes to Russia for their war, and it goes to Iran for their war.

Speaker 2 Well, okay, you’re outlining exactly the insanity we’re in the middle of. Yeah, you have a you have a president and an administration that it was desperate to prop up I Ram that refuses to confront the degree of terrorism that the Iranians finance, and that has been I think a nightmare for the world. And and uh, we’ll see

what what Biden says tonight, but I’ll be very surprised if he has the courage to say the things that I just outligned. Partly because they don’t believe it. They don’t want a strong America, they don’t they believe America is dangerous, and then we underestimate. I’m writing a whole series now for the American Spectator on the origins of

the crisis we’re now. And you know, you can go all the way back to World War Two and the Soviet agents who had penetrated the American government and come up through the rise of the Weathermen and the New Left and what have you. And what you find is that there’s a track of left wingism to Hillary Clinton,

to Barack Obama, to Joe Biden, and an even more radical tract to the people around them. And these people actually believe in a world in which Israel ceases to exist. They believe in a world in which America is submerged because it is a guilt ridden country colonized by Europeans, etc.

You have to read their material and understand how far out they are compared to the rest of.

Speaker 5 Us before we break any of your predictions. What the heck is going on in Congress. No.

Speaker 2 I was surprised, as you know. I thought that putting mckenry in until January to let things calm down was the right thing. He ran into a substantial amount of opposition in the in the House conference. I hope that we are going to have this get solved and that Jim Jordan can win. I’m not sure he can win.

And at that point, I think they have a real problem. And I’ll tell you, I think that the eight Traders who did this as starting with Gates absolutely own this. They sided against ninety six percent of their own conference with the Democrats. They had no idea what Part two was, and there’s a fifty to fifty chance they’re gonna end

up with a handful of exhausted Republicans siding with the Democrats and creating a coalition government that will be a total disaster. Now the burden is ought to go right back on those eight people for being so totally irresponsible.

Speaker 5 No, I’m still supporting Kevin because I really think he can make a comeback and I think he can get some a couple of votes if he needs well.

Speaker 2 I think he’s the one person who could do this, and the question is when do they wake up and realize that. And frankly, you’re going to have any hope of keeping the majority next year, He’s the one person who can campaign and raise the money and make it happen.

Speaker 5 No, Dnridge, thank you so much, and he praying for America and me and you are going to go after those eight guys.

Speaker 2 Good talk to you, so thank you, Thank you
