	So there's a very famous story about young Joe Biden, Senator Joe Biden.
	This is a story from the early 80s.
	Apparently, in June 1982, Joe Biden was on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
	The dude's been in the Senate since Cato was in the Senate.
	And he got into a clash with the Prime Minister of Israel at the time, Menachem Begin.
	At the time, Israel was going into Lebanon in order to attempt to extirpate terrorism that was coming from southern Lebanon.
	Again, nothing changes when it comes to the Middle East.
	And Joe Biden was very angry at Menachem Begin.
	He lectured Menachem Begin over Israeli settlements.
	And Menachem Begin Who, his entire family was effectively murdered in the Holocaust.
	And then he ended up moving to Israel and becoming an underground fighter against the British in an attempt to establish the State of Israel.
	And then he was out in the political wilderness for a long time, finally became Prime Minister of Israel.
	And there's a very famous, there's a very famous anecdote.
	Apparently, he then turned to Joe Biden and he said, don't threaten us with cutting off aid to give up our principles.
	He said, I'm not a Jew with trembling knees.
	And then he continued, quote, I'm a proud Jew with 3,700 years of civilized history.
	Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in the gas chambers and ovens.
	Nobody came to our aid when we were striving to create our country.
	We paid for it.
	We fought for it.
	We died for it.
	We will stand by our principles.
	We will defend them.
	And when necessary, we will die for them again with or without your aid.
	Now, this story is not about Menachem Begin.
	This story is about Joe Biden.
	Joe Biden is a coward.
	Joe Biden is a terrible, terrible voice when it comes to foreign policy, and he always has been.
	There's a reason that former Obama Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Joe Biden had literally never been correct on foreign policy in his entire life.
	And that is true.
	Joe Biden has a unique capacity to screw up when it comes to foreign policy.
	Joe Biden is weak-kneed.
	Joe Biden is so weak that he brags about being the only member of the Obama administration to oppose the Bin Laden raid.
	That's how weak Joe Biden is.
	Well, now Joe Biden is showing his neck to Hamas.
	And when you talk about unjustifiable acts on every possible level, moral, political, pragmatic, none of it makes any sense.
	On the moral level, Hamas is a terrorist group that is currently holding five Americans.
	There are five Americans who are being held in terror tunnels by Yahya Sinwar and his group of barbaric thugs.
	Their names, I know that Joe Biden doesn't mention their names very often.
	He will talk about Brittany Griner until the cows come home.
	But when it comes to five Americans who happen to be Jewish who are being held, by Hamas in terror tunnels, then he won't mention their names.
	He'll take the occasional photo op with their relatives and pretend that he's gonna stand by them, but as we'll learn in a moment, he ain't standing by nobody.
	Their names are Eden Alexander, who is 19 years old, Omer Nutra, who is 22, Hirsch Goldberg-Polen, who is 23, Sagi Dekel-Chen, who is 35, and Keith Siegel, who is 64.
	They are currently being held.
	And Joe Biden does not give two good dams about any of those people.
	On a moral level, Joe Biden attempting to preserve Hamas in Rafa is sick.
	On a political level, it is political malpractice.
	The American people do not like Hamas.
	The American people do not like this conflict, but they like Hamas even less than they like this conflict.
	They would like to see Israel finish this.
	The American people are tired of watching this war go on, wherein Israel is supposed to take it super slow.
	It never ends.
	What America likes are wars that are short.
	America likes wars that are victorious, and those are things Joe Biden has never been involved in.
	And when it comes to the pragmatic, what Joe Biden is doing right now is the least pragmatic thing I've ever seen a politician do on foreign policy.
	He has created an entire incentive structure for Hamas to walk away from the table.
	He has created an incentive structure for Hezbollah to get into a war with Israel.
	He has created an incentive structure whereby, by the way, if Israel goes in, more civilians will die.
	So what am I talking about here?
	Yesterday, in what had been a telegraphed move for the last week or so, Joe Biden went on Aaron Burnett's show on CNN, and he proceeded to announce that the United States would remove offensive weaponry from Israel.
	Remember, he just signed a bill providing $14 billion in aid to Israel.
	That bill combined $14 billion in aid to Israel with some $60 billion in aid to Ukraine.
	And the way that Biden got it over the finish line, along with Speaker Johnson in the House, was by combining those elements.
	Because it turns out that the Republicans are disproportionately anti-Ukraine aid, but pro-Israel aid.
	And Democrats are disproportionately anti-Israel aid, but pro-Ukraine aid.
	Joe Biden has decided, unilaterally, That in violation of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974, he is simply going to hold up the shipments of weaponry to Israel over disagreements with how Israel is prosecuting the war.
	Now, by the way, he has yet to articulate exactly what Israel could be doing better or how.
	But none of that matters, because we'll get to his real agenda in just a few minutes.
	We'll get to more on this in a moment.

	So Joe Biden goes on Aaron Burnett.
	And he proceeds to say that he is going to deny Israel offensive weaponry if Israel goes into the quote-unquote populated areas of Rafah.
	Now understand, Israel has been attempting to move the civilians out of Rafah so that they can go in and kill terrorists in Rafah.
	And Joe Biden has opposed that too.
	So the new math is that the United States will undercut our own democratic allies if terrorists do the most terrorist thing, which is hide behind civilians.
	He is now creating a full-scale incentive structure for terrorists to hide among civilians because now they are safe from any sort of retaliation.
	The weapons that he wants to deny to Israel are targeted weapons, the kinds of weapons that minimize civilian casualties, which will force Israel to use non-targeted weapons, which means more civilian casualties.
	He is showing daylight between Israel and the United States, sufficient that Hezbollah might think, OK, well, if we open up on the northern front, the United States won't resupply Israel then either.
	Iran will get more aggressive, not less aggressive.
	And of course, Hamas will walk away from the table, which apparently they did this morning.
	They were supposedly negotiating in Cairo, and then upon hearing Joe Biden's words, they simply walked away clean, knowing that Joe Biden is now playing defense for Hamas.
	Make no mistake, Joe Biden has sided with Hamas in this conflict.
	There's only one predictable result of this, and that is the maintenance of Hamas as a political power and a military force in Gaza.
	There are four brigades of Hamas, about 8,000 Hamas soldiers who are still in Rafah.
	Joe Biden is keeping them alive.
	Joe Biden is ensuring that they will walk out of the tunnels heads held high at some point and declare victory.
	And by the way, release no hostages in the process.
	Here is Joe Biden, a true moral coward, yesterday on CNN.
	I want to ask you about something happening as we sit here and speak, and that, of course, is Israel is striking Rafa.
	I know that you have paused, Mr. President, shipments of 2,000-pound U.S.
	bombs to Israel due to concern that they could be used in any offensive on Rafa.
	Have those bombs, those powerful 2,000-pound bombs, been used to kill civilians in Gaza?
	Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers.
	I made it clear that if they go into Rafa, they haven't gone into Rafa yet, if they go into Rafa, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafa, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem.
	Okay, so when he says that the bombs have been used to kill civilians in populated areas, or when Israel attacks populated Israel, Israel is not attacking populated areas.
	Israel is actively attempting to move populations from these areas so they can kill terrorists.
	So Joe Biden is just lying here.
	But he's lying, as we'll see, for a political purpose.
	Also, once again, he is an absolute coward.
	He is a biomoral coward, Joe Biden.
	This is true in Afghanistan, and it is true now.
	Here is Joe Biden.
	We're going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently.
	But it's just wrong.
	We're not going to supply the weapons and the artillery shells used that have been used.
	Artillery shells as well.
	Yeah, artillery shells.
	So, just to understand, what they're doing right now in Rafah, is that not going into Rafah, as you deminded?
	No, they haven't gone into the population centers.
	What they did is right on the border, and it's causing problems with, right now, in terms of with Egypt, which I've worked very hard to make sure we have a relationship and help.
	But I've made it clear to Bibi and the War Cabinet, they're not going to get our support if, in fact, they go in these population centers.
	So they're not going to give their support if they go into the population centers, which is why Hamas is hiding in population centers.
	That is the entire reason they are doing it.
	So he is now engaging.
	Let's be clear about this.
	In a war between a genocidal terrorist group that murdered 1,200 Jews and others and took 250 hostages, and is currently holding 133 hostages.
	Most of them surely are corpses by now, but that includes some live hostages.
	Joe Biden is taking the side of the terrorists.
	That is what this is.
	This is an arms embargo against the state of Israel in a war against a terror group.
	Now you can make the case in the past that U.S.
	arms embargoes against Israel were in America's interest.
	I think you'd be hard-pressed to say why it was in America's interest to arms embargo Israel when Israel was in war in Lebanon in 1982.
	Lebanon doesn't seem like a flower of the Middle East at this point.
	But you could at least make some sort of plausible case that Israel in Lebanon was a bigger international problem than Israel in Gaza.
	When it comes to Israel and Gaza, Hamas is an isolated terror group labeled as such by literally every Western power.
	They are relegated to control of one city, and Joe Biden is preserving them right now.
	He is preserving them.
	According to the Wall Street Journal, Call it what it is, a U.S.
	arms embargo against Israel.
	That's the astonishing story this week as the Biden administration confirms it is blocking the delivery of weapons to its main ally in the Middle East.
	The administration would like to focus on the denial of 2,000 pound bombs, which it says are too destructive.
	Nevermind that a professional force can employ them in a manner that restricts the radius of damage.
	Mr. Biden is also halting a shipment of 500 pound bombs and holding up JDAMs.
	Those are Joint Direct Attack Munitions, which convert unguided bombs into smart bombs.
	Small-diameter bombs are also being withheld.
	Now, the Biden administration is sitting on a deal that includes tank shells and mortar rounds.
	Joe Biden says, okay, we'll make sure that Iron Dome is still provided.
	But all offensive weaponry, no.
	So, in other words, Israel will sit there and take it.
	And if an occasional rocket escapes Iron Dome and kills some Jews, well, they won't have the offensive weaponry to fight back if Joe Biden has his way.
	The message from the White House, in other words, as the Wall Street Journal correctly, is that Israel should not have large bombs or small bombs, dumb bombs or smart bombs, and let it do without tanks and artillery too.
	Now isn't a good time to send the weapons, you see, because Israel would use them.
	This is an insane decision.
	It's an insane decision for the United States.
	It is in the interest of the United States for our allies to wreck terror groups, particularly terror groups that are currently holding Americans hostage.
	It is in the interest of the United States for Israel to demonstrate strength in a region that only respects strength.
	If we would like to see, for example, Saudi normalize with Israel and box in Iran, that only happens if Israel finishes off Hamas and Rafa.
	It is in the interest of the United States to avoid a larger-scale war, which would undoubtedly occur were Israel to go into Rafah, with the United States showing massive daylight.
	Hezbollah would probably take advantage in the north, hoping that the Biden administration would be so irritated with Israel about going into Rafah in the first place that they would let 200,000 rockets fall into Israeli civilian centers.
	That is what Joe Biden has just done.
	We'll get to more on this in just one moment.
	First, given what's going on in the news these days, getting a good night's sleep, well, it seems pretty much impossible.

	Now, the Biden administration has been playing what really is a pathetically disgusting game.
	I mean, truly, it's like a morally, egregiously disgusting game.
	Here is the thing.
	Joe Biden announced this last night on CNN.
	This had already been leaked out to the press as sort of a trial balloon.
	Yesterday, Lloyd Austin, our feckless and useless defense secretary, literally went AWOL for like a week without informing anyone back earlier in the year.
	Well, now he's testifying in front of the Senate.
	He said there had been no final decision on the weapons.
	As it turns out, this was a lie.
	We certainly would like to see no major combat take place in Rafah, but certainly our focus is on making sure that we protect the civilians.
	And again, we've not made a final determination on how to proceed with that shipment.
	And I would highlight that This shipment doesn't have anything to do with the supplemental appropriations that you just helped us get.
	And my final comment is that we are absolutely committed to continuing to support Israel in its right to defend itself.
	No, you are f***ing not.
	No, you are not.
	This is like saying to Nicole Brown Simpson, we are totally committed to your safety and security.
	Also, we're removing all weapons of self-defense from your drawers.
	We'll allow you to wear like a heavier jacket just in case, but certainly we're not going to do anything that would allow you to fight back.
	I mean, this is insane.
	It's insane, obviously.
	What makes it morally sick is the lie.
	So what was the timeline here?
	According to the Associated Press, Biden signed off on the pause in an order conveyed last week to the Pentagon.
	This happened last week.
	The White House National Security Council sought to keep the decision out of the public eye for several days until it had a better understanding of the scope of Israel's intensified military operations in Rafah.
	That's a lie.
	They already knew what Israel plans to do in Rafah.
	Israel's been planning to do it for literally months.
	And the Biden administration has been sitting there with a red pen, simply saying no the entire time.
	As I've been saying for a long time, the minute that Joe Biden said that Israel could not go into RAFA without his sign-off, Israel could not go into RAFA, period, because he was not going to get any sign-off.
	There would be no sign-off.
	Because if he had signed off, then he would become responsible for Israel's actions.
	Which is why, typically, this is not what the United States does.
	We don't sit there in the war cabinet with Ukraine and tell them how to conduct every military operation.
	It's ridiculous.
	They're an ally.
	They're not a state of the United States.
	But here's the real reason why Joe Biden kept it hidden.
	You ready for this?
	This is the part that really is just morally disgusting.
	Here's the real reason.
	and quote, the White House National Security Council
	sought to keep the decision out of the public eye until Biden could deliver a long planned speech on Tuesday
	to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day.
	Do you understand what this is?
	Joe Biden didn't want to announce that he was cutting off the state of Israel at the knees
	in its fight to destroy a genocidal Nazi-esque terror group.
	He didn't want to announce that until after he had paid lip service and shed some crocodile tears about the Holocaust.
	So he wanted to do his speech on Tuesday where he talked about how the Holocaust was super important and how he would never again and no he would no he would stand by the State of Israel.
	He wanted to give that speech and then he wanted to get past that speech and then he wanted to deprive Israel of the ability to extirpate its enemies.
	We've literally engaged in a Holocaust level genocidal attacks.
	Hamas has made very clear its intentions.
	Hamas is not hiding the bomb.
	They want all the Jews dead.
	And Joe Biden gives a speech on Tuesday where he says, I fully understand what happened on October 7th.
	And then he hosts families of hostages.
	He says, I fully understand their plight.
	And then he undercuts all of them.
	And he does it on purpose, which is a sickness.
	That isn't just cowardice, that's evil.
	It'd be one thing for him just to be a normal democratic coward and say,
	oh, I don't wanna be involved in any of this, hands off and just throw your hands to the sky,
	what can we do?
	That would be one level of cowardice.
	To actively dissemble to the American people in order so that you could give a hypocritical speech
	about the Holocaust in which you talk about the evils of the Holocaust and the necessity
	of Israel defending itself, knowing the whole time you're going to undercut
	their weapons supply in order to get rid of Hamas.
	That's a whole different level.
	Meanwhile, the White House, I mean, again, this is all, that's on the moral side.
	On the political side, which we'll get to a little bit later, it's also politically stupid.
	On a pragmatic side, it's unbelievably dumb.
	On a pragmatic side, let's say that Joe Biden's actual pragmatic goal here is to stop the fighting.
	Let's say that what he actually wants is to stop the fighting.
	Well, he's not gonna get that because, as it turns out, the only possibility of the fighting stopping is for the current Israeli government to either end Hamas or get back the hostages or both.
	Those are the only possibilities on the table.
	If Israel does not get back to hostages, and if Israel does not end Hamas, the war cabinet will fall in Israel.
	There will be new elections.
	Joe Biden just made all of those possibilities impossible.
	He says if Israel exerts military pressure in Rafa, Then he will deprive them of weaponry.
	And then he says, don't worry, don't worry.
	Hostage negotiations are ongoing.
	Well, if you're Hamas, why in the world would you possibly give up those hostages?
	Those are your leverage.
	You don't have Joe Biden as your PR agent out there.
	You have Joe Biden on your side doing your work.
	Honest to God, Yahya Sinwar could barely design an American policy more beneficial to Hamas than the one that Joe Biden is currently pursuing.
	The White House is saying that negotiations are ongoing.
	No, they're not.
	This morning, Hamas literally walked out of the negotiations.
	According to Xinhua News, which is the Chinese official outlet, a delegation from Hamas for ceasefire talks departed Cairo for Doha.
	That is according to Ezat al-Rashq, a member of the Hamas political bureau and a terrorist.
	He confirmed that the group's commitment to a proposal received from Egyptian and Qatari mediators was still on the table.
	That proposal is not real.
	That proposal requires the withdrawal of all Israeli troops for all time.
	It requires a permanent end to the war.
	It requires that Israel give up thousands of terrorists in return for dead bodies.
	That's what that proposal is.
	And Joe Biden keeps pretending that these talks are ongoing.
	They're not ongoing.
	Not in any way, shape, or form.
	The terms that have been proposed by Hamas are not terms.
	They're diktats.
	These are calculated to ensure that Hamas maintains control of the Gaza Strip.
	By the way, if Joe Biden actually wanted a Palestinian state led by, for example, the Palestinian Authority, a terrible, foolish, moronic idea, but let's say he actually wanted that, you know what would have to actually occur before that?
	The extirpation of Hamas!
	If Hamas is still in control of the Gaza Strip, ain't no Palestinian Authority gonna be in control of the Gaza Strip.
	It's just gonna be a massive Palestinian civil war, which is the likely outcome of all of this anyway, in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
	We'll get to more on this in a moment.
	First, when I'm on the go, I do my best to stay healthy.

	Meanwhile, while all of this is happening, Rafa is shooting rockets at Israel.
	So while Joe Biden is saying you can't go into Rafa, meanwhile Hamas is firing rockets from the civilian center into Israel.
	Yesterday, eight rockets were fired from Rafa into southern Israel in Shlomit.
	Rafa has been used as the site of rocket fire on the Kerim Shalom crossing, which is a humanitarian aid crossing.
	Israeli soldiers were killed this week by rocket fire from Rafa.
	And Joe Biden's sitting there going... This is a sickness.
	There is something wrong with this human being.
	Now the media are going to do his cover work for him, Joe Biden, of course.
	So the Wall Street Journal, so as I remind you, the Wall Street Journal editorial page is conservative.
	The Wall Street Journal News Bureau is left of the New York Times.
	Truly.
	There have been studies done on this.
	The Wall Street Journal News Bureau is to the left of the New York Times.
	This is from the News Bureau.
	Quote, It was a decision Joe Biden didn't want to make.
	Was it though?
	Because if he didn't want to make it, he didn't have to make it, did he?
	He had warned Israel nearly two months ago against a full-scale assault on Rafa.
	Finally, Biden took a step he had long resisted.
	Biden's priority has been to secure a temporary ceasefire and defuse a charged political debate at home over whether his administration has put enough pressure on Netanyahu to limit the heavy civilian casualty toll in Gaza.
	Israel's objective has been to crush Hamas' last stronghold in Gaza.
	The groundwork for the decision to withhold arms was laid in April, when the administration began a quiet review of arms shipments to Israel after months of resisting calls to put conditions on arms transfers to force Netanyahu's government to rethink its conduct of the war.
	Joe Biden has provided zero, count them zero, zero, big zero, military plans to Israel that would reduce the civilian casualties in this war while still achieving the goals of freeing the hostages and extirpating Hamas.
	Zero military plans have been put forward.
	Joe Biden has forced Israel to negotiate with itself.
	Meanwhile, Joe Biden is using every tool at his disposal to pressure Israel to leave Hamas in place.
	That includes apparently allowing the International Criminal Court to possibly prosecute the current sitting government of Israel, which would only have the effect of meaning that every time an Israeli official went abroad, they might be arrested.
	Joe Biden has sat still for that.
	Meanwhile, the UN General Assembly, a rogues gallery, a hive of scum and villainy, is expected to upgrade Palestinian status at the UN, granting it almost all statehood rights.
	That is supposed to happen next week.
	The UAE is expected to submit a resolution calling on the UN Security Council to grant Palestine full membership status in the UN.
	Now, they tried this at the UN Security Council just a few weeks ago, and the U.S.
	said no, because as it turns out, there's no Palestinian government.
	But the UNGA is going to try to pass this thing through.
	And apparently, the United States is talking about sort of sitting aside on all of this.
	There's no other way to read that than as a direct reward for October 7th.
	Kill 1,200 Jews, take 250 hostage, Commit the worst terror assault in the West since 9-11, and you get a state.
	That is the math of the international community.
	And Joe Biden is sitting there for it, and yelling at Bibi Netanyahu, the elected Prime Minister of the State of Israel, who is in a war cabinet with his opposition.
	How ridiculous is what Joe Biden is doing right now?
	It is so ridiculous that even Jewish Democrats are coming out and slamming him.
	Even Jewish Democrats are telling him that he is a joke.
	Representative Jared Moskowitz, who's a Democrat of Florida, he said, if Hamas is watching American television, which I guarantee you they are, they're seeing more division and their power growing in this country, which means less pressure on Hamas.
	He said delaying arms sales is not helpful to get us to a ceasefire.
	Representative Brad Sherman said that funding appropriated by Congress for Israel legally, quote, has to be spent, has to be obligated, has to go.
	Sherman said, again, these are Democrats, Biden came to this Congress, he said, pass legislation.
	You can't come to members, get them to vote for your bill, your package, and then throw away part of the package.
	Meanwhile, Representative Richie Torres has also been incredibly critical of Joe Biden, as he should.
	Many Jewish Democrats today are waking up to the fact that Joe Biden is controlled by the radical wing of the Democratic Party.
	And because he is controlled by the radical wing of the Democratic Party, maybe they should think about not giving him their vote.
	Maybe, as it turns out, it is a bad idea for people who care.
	For example, about the state of Israel to vote for a president currently undercutting the state of Israel's ability to defend itself.
	We'll get to more on this in a moment.

	One of the truly amazing things about this entire conflict, as I've said before, this is the most morally clear conflict of my lifetime.
	It is literally a terror group that ran a quasi-organized terror state that crossed a border and murdered people and took people hostage and is still holding Americans hostage.
	And somehow Joe Biden comes to the conclusion that this is an even-handed negotiation in which Israel must be stopped from destroying its enemy.
	And somehow this is gonna make the Middle East more safe.
	Donald Trump for his part, again, this is why Donald Trump needs to be reelected.
	This is why I have contributed to Donald Trump's campaign, among many other reasons.
	Obviously, I co-hosted an event for Trump long before this.
	But this is why.
	Here's what Donald Trump said, because he actually has a level of moral clarity.
	Joe Biden is is a moral imbecile.
	Here is Donald Trump today, quote, Absolutely true.
	Joe Biden, whether he knows it or not, just said he will withhold weapons from Israel
	as they fight to eradicate Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
	Hamas murdered thousands of innocent civilians, including babies, and are still holding Americans
	hostage, if the hostages are still alive.
	Yet crooked Joe is taking the side of these terrorists, just like he has sided with the
	radical mobs taking over our college campuses, because his donors are funding them.
	Absolutely true.
	100% true.
	And by the way, again, what Joe Biden is doing, I mentioned the political before.
	This is political malpractice, what he is doing right now.
	It turns out vastly more Americans are anti-Hamas than pro-Hamas.
	And those pro-Hamas people, they're not gonna be satisfied with anything Joe Biden does.
	Republicans are responding as you would imagine they should.
	House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell sent a letter to Joe Biden expressing their alarm over the administration's decision to halt the weapons transfers.
	They say that the news flies in the face of assurances provided regarding the timely delivery of security assistance to Israel.
	They say we believe security assistance to Israel?
	Ukraine and vulnerable partners in the Indo-Pacific should be expedited to the fullest extent possible.
	We have not been able to obtain pertinent information from the Department of State or Department of Defense regarding the ongoing review.
	Israel faces an existential and multi-front threat as recently demonstrated by the direct attack by Iran and Iranian-backed terrorists, and daylight between the U.S.
	and Israel at this dangerous time risks emboldening Israel's enemies and undermining the trust that other allies and partners have in the United States.
	We ask that you provide relevant responses by the end of the week on the timing of this quote-unquote review If any other shipments will be similarly paused, what office is responsible for conducting the review, and most importantly, when the review is anticipated, to end, to allow this vital assistance to move forward.
	This is violation of law, what Joe Biden is doing right now.
	Donald Trump was impeached over this by Democrats.
	They said that his refusal to turn over allocated aid to Ukraine was an impeachable offense.
	Joe Biden is doing it openly for political purposes.
	And he's going to get away with it?
	This is pathetic stuff.
	And by the way, the American defense establishment has no answer.
	Yesterday, as I mentioned, Lloyd Austin was testifying in front of the Senate, and Lindsey Graham went after him, pointing out that there is literally no other scenario in which a country fighting for its survival against a terror group would be denied weaponry because of political concerns of the President of the United States.
	Do you believe Iran really wants to kill all the Jews if they could?
	The Iranian regime?
	Yeah.
	Do you believe Hamas is serious when they say we'll keep doing it over and over again?
	Do you agree that they will if they can?
	I do.
	Do you believe that Hezbollah is a terrorist organization also bent on the destruction of the Jewish state?
	Hezbollah is a terrorist organization.
	Okay, so Israel's been hit in the last few weeks by Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, dedicated to their destruction.
	And you're telling me you're going to tell them how to fight the war?
	And what they can and can't use when everybody around them wants to kill all the Jews?
	And you're telling me that if we withhold weapons in this fight, the existential fight for the life of the Jewish state, it won't send the wrong signal?
	And by the way, it is worth noting here that again, on a pragmatic level, Joe Biden is so incompetent, again, he's both morally imbecilic and incompetent, that even his real goals here are not going to be achieved.
	So when it comes to his real goal in Israel, Gadi Taub, who's an excellent commentator over in Israel, he has a big piece over at Tablet Magazine talking about basically how Joe Biden really doesn't like Bibi Netanyahu and wants Bibi Netanyahu out.
	He wants Bibi Netanyahu replaced with Benny Gantz, who is the leader of the opposition party, who's currently sitting as part of the war cabinet.
	Well, if he actually wanted to achieve that, he shouldn't have publicly said that he was going to deprive Israel of weaponry if they go into Rafah.
	Gantz is supposedly in favor of doing that.
	If Gantz looks like a tool of Joe Biden, he ain't gonna win the next election in Israel.
	So Biden won't even get his accomplished purpose.
	But what's the real reason that Joe Biden is doing?
	Again, the reason he is doing this is because he is a coward.
	He is a coward of cowards, Joe Biden.
	Yesterday during this interview on CNN, he was asked by Aaron Burnett about protesters calling him Genocide Joe.
	Now, here's what a normal, non-coward president would say.
	You know why they're calling me that?
	Because they're ignorant.
	Because they're stupid.
	Because they don't know what the hell they're talking about.
	I just spoke at Holocaust Remembrance Day a couple of days ago.
	A holocaust A genocide is an attempt to completely eviscerate an entire population, to exterminate an entire population.
	Israel is not only not doing that, Israel is attempting to avoid killing civilians.
	That is what a- and if they believe that, they're wrong, and they should get informed.
	That's what a normal human being would say.
	That's not what Joe Biden says, because he is afraid of those people, because he is a- he is a coward.
	Here is Joe Biden being a coward last night.
	Mr. President, you had signs at college campuses, some say Genocide Joe.
	Any of us that have gone to those campuses, sometimes we hear that chant.
	Do you hear the message of those young Americans?
	Absolutely, I hear the message.
	Look, two things.
	First of all, there's a legitimate right to free speech and protest.
	There's a legitimate right to do that, and they have a right to do that.
	There's not a legitimate right to use hate speech.
	There's not a legitimate right to threaten Jewish students.
	There's not a legitimate right to block people's access to class.
	That's against the law.
	When he says, I hear them, that's the reason.
	I hear them.
	They're calling you a genocidal maniac, and you quote-unquote hear those morally bereft people.
	You hear them.
	You hear them.
	You feel them.
	And so in order so that they won't call you mean names, the pro-Hamasniks, in order so that they won't call you mean names, you're going to help Hamas.
	That is Joe Biden's actual plan here.
	Because if he doesn't, then the Hamasniks won't vote for him.
	The people who love Hamas at these protests, they won't vote for him.
	They might call him Genocide Joe, and he wouldn't like that.
	That'd be very hurtful to Genocide Joe.
	So he's going to cave to them.
	That's all this is.
	Joe Biden is, was, always will be a political coward with his finger in the wind.
	That is all he ever was.
	We'll get to more of this in a second.
	Because again, the people that he is capitulating to, these campus dolts, they truly are some of the stupidest people on the planet.
	I mean, we are talking people who cannot tie their shoelaces.
	There's not a bus short enough for these people.
	We'll get to more on that in a moment.
	First, a very special message from our friend Megan Kelly.
	Ladies and gentlemen, the anticipation is finally over.
	The moment we have all been waiting for is almost upon us.
	This Sunday, exclusively on DavieWire+, my new show with Adam Carolla, Mr. Bircham, will make its grand premiere.
	In this show, I have the pleasure of playing Bircham's wife, Wendy.
	It feels pretty great doing something for the community, right?
	Now let me give you a sneak peek into Wendy's character.
	Wendy is a force to be reckoned with.
	She's a top-tier real estate agent, a super mom, and a bit more left-leaning than I am.
	But believe me, it's a necessary balance to Bircham's old-fashioned caveman approach.
	Check out the trailer for our new series, Mr. Bircham.
	Yes!
	Headshot!
	Dad, my teammates can see your junk.
	You're welcome, ladies.
	First day of school means the bet is on!
	First one of us to get in so- You suck, Mr. Buttchunk!
	Ah, still got it.
	Rule number one, no phones in the wood shop.
	Fish it out after class.
	I found some really great school uniform options to avoid misgendering.
	Ooh, what about their allergies?
	Maybe those they's could be lactose intolerant.
	No, we can't say intolerance.
	We have a zero tolerance policy for mentioning intolerance.
	When I was a kid, men were men.
	Now everyone's wrapped up in feelings.
	Real men stuff feelings down with red meat, cigarettes, and violence.
	My name is Mr. Wolf.
	I solve problems.
	You know what it takes?
	Balls!
	Eyeballs!
	Who's gonna say that?
	We're too young.
	Well, actually, I was gonna say you're too fat.
	Keep my wife's name out of your damn mouth!
	You and the geriatric Girl Scouts will be passed out in an hour!
	Pass Mommy the wine.
	A bottle.
	Don't make this a prison, honey.
	Richard Bircham.
	Bircham?
	Bircham.
	Mr. Bircham.
	Hey, Bircham!
	Bircham.
	Bircham!
	Bircham!
	Watch Mr. Bircham, an all-new animated series from Daily Wire Plus.
	Let the record show I'm a dick.
	Premieres May 12th.
	Watch the series premiere of Mr. Furcham for free only on DailyWirePlus.
	Mark your calendars for this Sunday night, May 12th.
	You're gonna love it.
	The original sin of this administration is that when they came into office, they pretended to be moderate and they let Bernie Sanders run the show.
	The old, derelict moron from Vermont, a complete useless person his entire life, a leech on public resources.
	That guy has defined Joe Biden's policy because Joe Biden is so afraid of his radical left.
	Which is why Bernie was very happy yesterday about all this.
	He said that he's very glad that Joe Biden was moving toward an arms embargo against Israel in the middle of a war against a terror group.
	But don't worry, Bernie's going to do his as a Jew thing, as a Jew.
	Again, Bernie Sanders as Jewish as a ham sandwich with Swiss cheese.
	According to humanitarian organizations, we're looking at the possibility of massive famine and starvation.
	Hundreds of thousands of kids starving to death.
	In my view, Netanyahu should not have gotten a nickel so long as he continued this incredibly destructive war.
	I'm glad to see that the president is beginning, beginning to move in that direction.
	Israel did not declare this war.
	Israel did not start this war.
	Israel's been shipping in more humanitarian aid during the war than was going in before the war.
	And that's who's running the administration is Bernie Sanders.
	All you Democrats, you voted for Joe Biden and not Bernie Sanders, and you got Bernie Sanders.
	That's what you got.
	And meanwhile, who are they catering to?
	They are catering to people who hate the country.
	Let's be clear.
	These protesters on these college campuses who are protesting in favor of Hamas, they are not protesting for humanitarian purposes.
	They do not give two dams about the 500,000 civilians slain during the Syrian civil war.
	Don't care one iota about it.
	They don't care about the Christians who are being wrecked in Niger.
	They don't care about any of that.
	They don't care about any of this stuff.
	All they care about is that America is bad.
	How do you know?
	Because they just say it.
	This is a sign that was projected on the side of a building during the George Washington University protest.
	And this is the whole thing.
	It is a burning American flag and it says, Gaza lights the spark that will set the empire ablaze.
	That is the agenda.
	And that is who Joe Biden is catering to.
	Which is amazing because this is a congregation, a constellation of either malign actors or some of the stupidest people on the planet.
	I've been using that word a lot, this show, stupid, because it's hard for, again, I have a rule.
	The basic rule of Shapiro Stan is assume everyone is stupid and not evil.
	But honestly, it's kind of hard to tell these days.
	I will say that these people appear to be both stupid and evil.
	So, over at Princeton, a bunch of students decided to go on a hunger strike for Gaza.
	And then, wait for it, they got hungry.
	I know, because it's a hunger strike.
	But apparently they were very shocked by this, and they demanded food during their hunger strike.
	They could just walk across the street and get a bagel.
	Well, they wouldn't want to get a bagel.
	I mean, that's a Jew donut.
	But they might get like something from McDonald's or something.
	Anyway, here are these cosplay revolutionaries.
	I like this bag in the center wearing his keffiyeh and his Che Guevara hat, looking like he just walked out of a seventh grade chess club.
	By the way, half these people look like they could use a little longer of a hunger strike, if you know what I mean.
	We are starving.
	We are physically exhausted.
	I am quite literally shaking right now as you can see.
	We are both cold and hot at the same time.
	We are all immunocompromised.
	And based on the university's meeting yesterday with some of our bargaining team,
	they would love to continue physically weakening us because they can't stand to say no to unjust murder.
	So they are not eating and then they are complaining about not eating.
	Okay, I have a solution.
	We'll force feed you.
	That's the solution.
	How about that?
	Because you both don't want to eat and you do want to eat.
	So, we'll just tube feed you.
	Would that... Would that be okay?
	No?
	These are the people Joe Biden is caving to.
	He is such a coward.
	Such a coward.
	And the ramifications of cowardice in a president of the United States is dead bodies.
	Those are the ramifications.
	So what is Israel going to do now?
	So Israel has a few choices.
	One, Israel can just ignore the United States and go in.
	This is what they really have to do.
	If they do not, the government ought to fall in Israel.
	If they do not finish off Hamas, they have not fulfilled their basic standard of keeping the people of Israel safe.
	They should go in and they should then go to the United States Congress and ask the United States Congress to ram through the guarantee that Joe Biden provided to a bipartisan majority in Congress, in both the House and the Senate, to actually get that money out.
	Joe Biden is acting in violation of the law.
	That's what Israel should do.
	Will they do that?
	Probably not.
	In all likelihood, Israel will try to slow play this because, of course, Israel is an ally of the United States and has tried to act within the remit provided by the United States, including of Joe Biden.
	Let me tell you this.
	Everybody who likes a stable, solid foreign policy is begging for Donald Trump right now.
	Everyone all over the world.
	The people of Taiwan, they don't want Joe Biden.
	The people of Ukraine, they can pretend they like Joe Biden right now.
	Donald Trump would have been much better for Ukraine than Joe Biden has been, because he would have told Vladimir Putin up top that a minor incursion was unacceptable, unlike Joe Biden, who basically incentivized Putin to cross that border.
	When it comes to Israel, no question, none of this would have happened in the first place, and if it did, Donald Trump would have let the shackles off Israel, and this thing would have been over four months ago.
	Everyone who liked a stable, Predictable world, a more peaceful world, should look at the years from 2017 to 2020, and then they should look at the years from 2021 to 2024, and they should decide which period has been more stable in terms of foreign policy.
	Which era has been better for the strength of America abroad?
	This is the easiest choice ever.
	Joe Biden makes the choice for Donald Trump easier every single day.
	All Donald Trump has to do is just sit there.
	That's all he has to do, because Joe Biden is making this choice super simple.
	If he thinks he's going to win in Michigan, he's got another thing coming.
	We'll get to more on this in just one second.
	First, between the vice president wrongly claiming the NCAA Women's Tournament was excluded from brackets until 2022, to the weekly word salad she serves, to not actually doing anything of use, Kamala Harris has gone one Venn diagram too far for anyone's liking.
	If all that happened in like a normal business, she would not have a job.
	How would you find someone to replace her, aside from just throwing a rock and seeing if you'd hit a rando?
	Well, I'll tell you how.
	The best way actually to find a good VP, or anyone else, would be ZipRecruiter.

	Meanwhile, Donald Trump continues to actually run a fairly well-calibrated campaign.
	So yesterday, for example, Donald Trump issued a statement regarding Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	Obviously, she is an ally of Trump's, politically, sort of.
	She also happens to be a clown who wants to be in the news all the time.
	And Trump was very much in favor of MTG just generally, but not in favor of her latest clown move, which was a bizarre motion to vacate against the Speaker of the House.
	It failed dramatically, by the way.
	It failed overwhelmingly.
	So she brought the motion to vacate.
	Only 11 Republicans voted in favor of the motion to vacate, with virtually all Republicans voting against a motion to vacate.
	The vote to kill the effort was 359 to 43, with seven voting present.
	Democrats joined in because it turns out that even Democrats don't like the Speaker of the House being able to be put on notice by, like, two members of his own party.
	Which is effectively what Hakeem Jeffries is afraid of, should he ever become Speaker of the House.
	So, again, he didn't need to peel off 200 Democrats, but he did.
	Marjorie Taylor Greene failed, as she should have, and Donald Trump then issued the following statement, which is correct, because Donald Trump is running a campaign to win the presidency, as opposed to Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is running a campaign to eventually be a mid-tier podcaster.
	Trump said, quote, I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene.
	She's got spirit.
	She's got fight.
	I believe she'll be around and on our side for a long time to come.
	However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the radical left Democrats and all the damage they've done to the country.
	With a majority of one, shortly growing to three or four, we're not in a position of voting on a motion to vacate.
	At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time.
	We are leading in the presidential polls by a lot, both nationally and in the swing states.
	Likewise, we are doing well in the Senate, and I believe we will do well in the House.
	But if we show disunity, which will be portrayed as chaos, it will negatively affect everything.
	Mike Johnson is a good man, who is trying very hard.
	I also wish certain things were done over the last period of two months, but we'll get them done together.
	It's my request that Republicans vote for the Motion to Table.
	We will win big, and it will be soon.
	This is smart politics.
	Much smarter than anything MTG is attempting to do, but for Donald Trump, obviously he is running, again, a much more disciplined campaign this time around, which is good.
	Johnson, for his part, said maybe we can get past all the frivolous character assassination and actually go about governing at some point here.
	This is the end of the personality politics and the frivolous character assassination that has defined the 118th Congress.
	Well, you would hope.
	Meanwhile, I don't know what it is about politicians making revelations that are completely unnecessary.
	So, this has been the week of unwanted revelations.
	So, we had Kristi Noem, the governor of South Dakota, admitting in her book that she shot a dog.
	Which, again, how did that pass through her eyes?
	And she thought, this is probably a good story to tell.
	This time when I shot a puppy in a gravel pit.
	That shows I'm tough, shooting a puppy in a gravel pit.
	So there was that.
	And that, of course, turned into a debacle.
	She had to cancel her book tour and all the rest of it.
	And then yesterday, we had the bizarre, unnecessary announcement by RFK Jr.
	that he literally had a brain worm He told the New York Times that in 2010, he was experiencing memory loss and mental fog and is so severe, a friend grew concerned he might have a brain tumor.
	Kennedy said he consulted several of the country's top neurologists, many of whom had either tried it or treated or spoken to his uncle, Ted Kennedy.
	Several doctors noticed a dark spot on the younger Mr. Kennedy's brain scans and concluded he had a tumor.
	He was immediately scheduled for a procedure at Duke University Medical Center.
	And then, apparently, he received a call from a doctor who had a different opinion, that he had a dead parasite in his head.
	The doctor believed the abnormality seen on his scans was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.
	Why was that necessary?
	Why?
	What would make you do that?
	Like, what would make you do that?
	Why would you say that?
	In an interview with the Times, he said he'd recovered from the memory loss and the fogginess
	and had no after effects from the parasite, which he said had not required treatment.
	Thank you.
	Asked last week if any of Kennedy's health issues could compromise his fitness for the presidency, his spokeswoman said to the Times, Well, I mean, that's true.
	area suggestion given the competition. Well I mean that's true. That at least is
	very much true. So again unnecessary like why you would why you would talk about
	brain worms is beyond me.
	Now what's amazing to me is that the members of the media who are all rooting for a person who does not have a brain for a worm to eat, Joe Biden, they decided it was time to tell jokes about this.
	Now again, it is inherently hilarious if a presidential candidate admits that he had worms in his brain.
	Like, it's sad.
	And RFK Jr.
	is a very nice person.
	I mean, we spent time together.
	But of course, you're going to become the butt of jokes.
	But I don't think that you get to make those jokes if you happen to be a person who is defending Joe Biden's mental fitness when the man's brain is bread pudding.
	So here they were on MSNBC mocking RFK about all of this.
	I quote from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	here, the abnormality, quote, was caused by a worm that got into my brain and ate a portion of it and then died.
	So Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
	is suggesting that a worm ate some of his brain and then died while there.
	We'll have more on this developing story. What in the world?
	This happens usually, usually, usually Willie this happens with livestock, right? I, I, but this
	is, this is something that, yeah.
	I mean. You know what? There you go. He should have had some of that stuff. That
	may have helped him, right Willie? But was Ivermectin? The Ivermectin. Oh.
	So, yeah, jokes about RFK. What is Okay, you guys are all rooting for a president you're pretending is mentally healthy when the man cannot function.
	I mean, he happens to be a terrible president even if he could function, but he can't function.
	So I don't think that Morning Joe gets to make fun of RFK's brain worms when again, Worms would literally have no source of nutrients in Joe Biden's cranium.
	That skull is simply air at this point.
	There is nothing there.
	That place looks like the aftermath of a nuclear explosion.
	It's just a vast vista of nothingness inside that gourd.
	And meanwhile, Morning Joe's making fun of the mental fitness of RFK.
	All right, coming up, we're going to jump into the mailbag.
