By the way, you mentioned 120 or so anti-Asian attacks of one sort or another.
Do you know how many attacks against Jews in 2019?
I actually wanted to know.
What is the answer?
2,107.
Versus 122. So why isn't there hysteria over anti-Semitism in America?
Right?
Because condemning, we're now sensitive to every group in America, except Jews.
You can say anything you want against Jews.
No, no, no.
And Christians, to be honest.
And religious Christians.
Serious Christians.
Yes, exactly.
All right, there are two issues I want to discuss with you, and it's a toss-up, which goes first.
So, let's begin with the Biden administration.
Are we going to see a change vis-a-vis the Middle East and or Israel?
I think of the very important phrase, personnel is policy.
Joe Biden has appointed the most hostile to Israel and to U.S.'s relations group of people ever.
This is worse than the people that Obama appointed.
And I believe, of course, that Obama and others are behind these appointments now that you have the cover of Joe Biden.
He's appointed people like Robert Malley, who accepts the nuclear Iran, who's against sanctions on Iran.
He's appointed Avril Haines, director of national intelligence, who has accused Israel of terrorism and has signed radical anti-Israel letters.
Mahir Bittar, as the Senior Director for Intelligence, he's a very important post.
He supports boycotting Israel.
He's on the Board of Students for Justice in Palestine and Radical Anti-Israel.
Wow, wow.
That's like BLM. He does conferences, he does seminars on how to demonize Israel.
That's what they're called.
Many more, but Hedi Amar, a top State Department official whose role is on Israel-Palestinian issues, he has praised terrorism against Israel, said it inspires him, the Intifada, the terror war against Israel.
He accuses Israel falsely of ethnic cleansing and brutally murdering innocent people, and he supports Hamas.
I can go on and on.
This is just a handful.
Almost every...
Who do you think is behind these appointments?
Almost all these people are people who are very close to Barack Hussein Obama and to Valerie Jarrett.
Valerie Jarrett and Obama have both remained in Washington all these years.
I understand Jared actually lives or has a place in Obama's home, and I believe they are a critical factor in these appointments because these are Obama's friends.
And now, as I said, he has the cover of Joe Biden appointing them with the false image of being a centrist.
So it's Obama and the far-left people behind him, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and such, I believe they're behind these appointments.
Go on, go ahead.
What's really troubling about this, in addition to the fact that these appointments are terrible for U.S. relations, the Jewish world has not only not condemned them, the organizational leaders have not only not condemned them, many have praised these appointments as centrist appointments, which is ridiculous, and have called me, Morton Klein, urging and demanding that I stop criticizing these appointments, that this is not good for the Jews.
I'm quiet because it's like an inverted world of reality.
When I get back with Mort Klein, president of the Zionist Organization of America, I want him to relate to you what happened to him and his organization in parts of Jewish life.
And you will see echoes of Catholic life, Protestant life, wherever the left takes hold.
