Now fears are how abouting that the war could spread to other parts of the middle east as iran continues its Terror Campaign through approximate i says. Joining me right now is Texas Senate Ted cruz who sits on the Senate Foreign relations and judiciary committees. Senator, good to have you this morning, thanks very much for being here. Maria, good morning. Good to be with you. Maria let me get your take from a Policy Perspective what you can do, what you and your colleagues can do in the face of this bloodshed. Well, this attack is the worst attack on israel in 50 years. This is, what happened on october 7th in the early mornings of of course 7th is the single largest mass murder of jews many a day since the holocaust in a day since the holocaust. And israel right now is, quite rightly, responding. And they are responding, Prime Minister netanyahu has made cheer that his objective is clear that his objective so to the utterly eradicate hamas. These terrorists went from home to home to home going after civilians, deliberately murdering the elderly, murdering women, murdering children. They would murder entire families simply because they were jewish. They violently raped women and young girls, publicly parading them in the street. They murdered and decapitated and burned alive toddlers and infants. This is horrific, and it is evil what Hamas Terrorists have done. Now, Going Forward theres several steps for u. S. Policy. Number one, we need to cut off the funding that has enabled this attack to happen. And what is so infuriating is over the last two and a half years joe biden and the Biden Administration have flowed nearly 100 billion to iran. Understand, hamas is a proxy for iran. Without iran, this would be no hamas. There would be no hamas. And the Wall Street Journal has reported this attack was planned, funded and directed by iran, and yet the Biden Administration continues to allow billions and billions of dollars to flow to the ayatollah to be used to murder israelis and to murder americans. Maria that is exactly right, senator. And is right now we have iranian sympathizers working within the biden add administration, and that is why i started asking you what can you do about a it. Because these atrocities are continuing, and we have robert malley, apparently bidens Chief Negotiator in the iran nuclear talks, we have others that are still working in the administration that have been leading this effort to get the United States back into an iran deal, leading this effort to, in fact, lower the sanctions enabling iran to generate billions in revenue. And what are they doing with the money . They are empowering these terrorists. Well, and what you just mentioned with rob malley remains one of the greatest National Security scandals in our nations history. So rob malley was joe bidens Chief Negotiator for iran. Hes an incredible iran sympathizer. He is an ad a slow candidate can, a passionate advocate for the disastrous obamairan nuclear are deal. But he also has extraordinarily bad judgment. Hes been fired. Hes had his can Security Clearances stripped which i want you to pause and think just how bad does this conduct have to be to have his Security Clearances pulled by this ideological and radical white house. But we now know also that, among other things, three of rob malleys top advisers, his inner circle that he relied on, were iranian operatives. They were the recruited by the government of iran, they were directed by the Iranian Foreign minister, they reported to the Iranian Foreign minister. We have their emails now in which they discuss, one of them discusses with the Foreign Minister that his loyalties are with the government of iran, and he is there to do whatever they direct including making the the message from within the federal government that theres nothing wrong with iran having a nuclear stockpile. You literally had three iranian spies working in senior positions directly around the u. S. Government. One of them, as far as we know, remains a Chief Of Staff in the Department Of Defense to in this day with access to classified documents. And yet the Corporate Media cannot be brought to mention that three iranian spies were brought into senior levels of government with access to classified materials while working directly for iran, the same iran that just murdered 31 americans and 400 israelis 1400, the same iran directed by an ayatollah who regularly leads mobs chanting death to america and death to israel. Maria and we knew this, senator. I mean, we knew that while they were negotiating on the iran deal. Yes. Maria the ayatollah was saying death to america at that time. And this administration continued to pursue, to the pursue, to pursue. Yes. Maria why . You know, they have an ideological obsession. Number one, their approach to every enemy of america is appease ifment, and thats true whether its russia, thats true whether its china, whether its north korea, thats true whether its its venezuela, whether its iran. Their response, ive got9 to tell you, they have taught our enemies that the worse they are, the more money joe biden will give you. You know, i mentioned the 100 billion, and its worth focusing on that for a moment. A lot of folks now are talking about the 6 billion, the 6 billion got a lot of coverage. The Biden Administration spent 6 billion that was essentially ransom money to free five american hostages. Now, at the time that happened i said publicly, many others said publicly, this is terrible policy. Youre effectively putting a bounty on the heads of americans. Youre telling bad guys well pay you 1. 2 billion a person for every american hostage that you have, and i predicted at the time our enemies will take more american hostage as, and is iras bounty will take more american host an aings. They now have roughly 3200 israeli hostages 200 and about a dozen american hostages. So im sorry to say that prediction came through within weeks. But thats just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the money that went to iran. Before the 6 billion, the Biden Administration sent 10 billion that went from iraq to iran, and the biggest pot of money deals with the refusal of the Biden Administration to enforce Oil Sanctions. U. S. Law9 puts tough Oil Sanctions on iran. Biden came in, immediately stopped enforcing them. Today iran is selling 2 Million Barrels a day of oil. That has produced 80 billion roughly in revenue. That is funding these hamas death squads, that is funding the rockets, that is funding terrorism. And the Biden Administration, something that he could do today the he gave a speech last week. You know what was not in the speech . Su saying were going to enforce the Oil Sanctions, and were to going to cripple the Iranian Regime and take away their money. That still, joe biden and the democrats have still proven unwilling to do. Maria yeah, thats a great point. And it was just stunning to me to the understand the fact that while this administration was actually negotiating to pay money for those hostages, the iranians were actually planning on taking more hostages. And that is exactly what they did. Yeah. Maria they unfroze the money, they went in, a hamas went in and took more hostages. That is exactly what happened. I want to get your take on what happened with jack lew last week. Your chief heard the hearing of the former Treasury Secretary under president obama. He wants to be the next ambassador to israel. Is it going to pass . Well, i dont know. I think hes a terrible choice. I think you are see republicans voting against him. The question is, does every democrat vote party line in and they might. Jack lew was the Treasury Secretary under barack obama. He was one of the critical call point people for negotiating and implementing the obamairan nuke hard deal. Jack lew played a Critical Point in flowing over 100 billion to iran. That was catastrophically stupid then, it hurt american interests, it cost american lives. And now joe biden has taken the appeasement of barack obama towards iran, has taken it to another level. And he wants to put as the point person for the administration in israel someone who has funded in a very real way the death squads that are attacking israel. I think thats a mistake. This in ordinary times i think thered be a reasonable chance that some democrats would say, look, this is a bad choice and would vote no. Maria yeah. Right now the white house is saying, well, if you support israel, youve got to give us an ambassador there. I think itd be gate to have an ambassador this, itd be even better to have an ambassador who isnt responsible for funding the theocratic lunatics who are murdering your citizens and to have an ambassador there who hasnt implemented policies for years that that undermine the state of israel. We need to support israel, in the undermine israel and fund their enemies. Maria right. Real quick on the package that the president is asking, he wants to tie the money together, the money going to israel as well as money going to ukraine. Hes talking about humanitarian aid for the palestinians as a well. What about that package . Will it passes . Go . I think its a big mistake. I dont know if itll pass. But what the Biden White House and Chuck Schumer is doing is deep thely cynical. Israel military aid is enormously popular. Theres big, Bipartisan Support for Israel Military aid. Hes taking the popularity of supporting israel, and hes holding it hostage. The only the hostages are not just being held by hamas, the host an as are also being held by the Biden White House because hes saying you can have Israel Military aid if you pass everything i want on ukraine, if you pack e pass bidens Border Security funding. What it really is, is funding to accelerate illegal immigration can, to have more buses and planes taking Illegal Immigrants to every city in america. And if you pass all of his priorities, its a christmas tree, then you can have Israel Funding. What we ought to do is we ought to vote on a clean Israel Funding bill that provides the military aid they need, the weapons, the ammunition, the additional munitions for iron dome and davids sling and arrow ii and iii, the Missile Defense systems. If we voted on that, it would pass overwhelmingly. And i think joe biden and the democrats need to stop playing games with Israel Funding. And you mentioned also, maria, the funding for gaza . This has been another indefensible step of this administration. Joe biden has already sent hundreds of millions of dollars for gaza. I led 17 senators saying do not send that money, because it will go to hamas, and they will use it for terrorism. 145 democrat congressmen sent a letter saying do send that money despite the fact that it will go to terrorism, and we now know the Biden Administration assessed the matter, and they agreed with me. They concluded that there was, quote, a high likelihood this money would to to hamas and be used for terrorism. And then you know what they did . The they waived u. S. Antiaterrorism law and sent the money anyway. Biden wants to send more money the goz saw gaza that will be used to Fund Terrorism. Its the only thing they know allowed to do, funding terrorist, and its a very, very bad idea. Maria senator, we had been watching your work. Thank you so much for joining me. Thank you, maria. Maria senator ted cruz. Now heres a flashback from this program back in 2021. Watch. Path that the Biden Administration has chosen with respect to iran means that theres going to be chaos is and war in other places in the middle east. If you give iran more money to Fund Terrorism like theyve done in the if the past with the 100 billion that the obamaBiden Administration gave them in the first failed jcpoa agreement, theyre only going to do the that again. I think its really troubling, maria, that the approach that the Biden Administration has taken is to take our sovereign ally in the middle east, israel, and bring them down to the same level where theyve raised hamas, a terrorist organization, and said both parties are at fault. Maria yeah. I think thats really a tragic and troubling Foreign Policy approach. Maria and we welcome back to the program the former director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe. John, you could not have been more spot on in that interview back in may of 2021. Your reaction to what has played out. Well, maria, its its in the that i was good at predicting the future, it was that i was good at reading our Intelligence Reports. Look, throughout 2020 the Iranian Military leaders and political leaders were telling us as we listened in on their conversations, were broke. We cant afford to fun hamas. We cant to fund hamas. With we cant afford to pay our proxies to engage in this mayhem. Essentially saying, you know, the maximum Pressure Campaign of the Trump Administration was working, and iran was, you know, less dangerous than they had been at any point in time. And i think whats unfortunate, maria, is all of that intelligence which spoke so clearly was sheared with the Biden Administration shared with the Biden Administration. They were very much aware of that. Unfortunately, its this disturbing trend where they simply just ignored the intelligence. They ignored it in afghanistan and it led to disaster there, they ignored the intelligence at our Southern Border, it led tost disaster there, and they ignored the intention in the middle east, and its not being hyperbolic to say were on the verge of a war in the middle east. And, you know, to underscore just how, what a colossal failure the Biden Administration policy on iran is, is literally two weeks before this atrocity against both israelis and americans took place, you had president bidens National Security adviser, jake sullivan, bragging ab how great things were in the middle east saying it had never been quieter and he wasnt having to spend think time in the middle east. And so it really underscores, you know, the failure of the biden policy in iran. And its actually worse than what they did in afghanistan. Look, 13 americans died needlessly because they didnt follow what tour intelligence told us about a conditionsbased withdrawal in afghanistan. Thirty americans were butchered by hamas in these attacks two weeks ago. And i just, you know, again, its just unfortunate and a disturbing trend from this administration not to listen to the intelligence that was so clear. Maria and you gave them that that intelligence on the way out, didnt you . I mean, you explained all of this to your successor. Very clearly. I mean, you know, the intelligence on this was uni give call unequivocal, and that was iran was essentially broke. They were saying that themselves in the communications that we were able to listen to. 9 and the Biden Administration was very aware of that, and yet they reversed course. And, you know, you wonder why, maria . If well, what senator cruz just told you is now the inescapable truth. It turns out that iran was negotiating with iran, that in talking with the Biden Administration it was toiranian, antiisraeli negotiators on everything from Nuclear Negotiations to hostage a negotiations. And, you know, as we all sat there and wondered why such a bad deal, why would the Biden Administration enter into such a bad deal with iran time and time again, we now know that there was a successful Iranian Influence Campaign and that that, you know, as the senator talked about not one, not two, not three, but four different at least iranian operatives essentially working within the Biden Administration even on things like our Special Operations against iran. Maria right. At the same time that theyre communicating with with the Iranian Foreign minister. Its just, its really appalling, and its one of the reasons, maria, that Secretary Pompeo and others and myself, you know, have urged in a letter to this add administration to put our National Security in front of their political interests to address that problem. Maria well, weve been trying to get this administration to put National Security as the priority since he walked into the oval office but to no avail. Look at the wide open border. Weve got terrorists coming in. But, john, i want to get your take the on the ammunition here and who has the capacity to empower hamas with these weapons. You know this, youve seen the data, youve seen the classified information in terms of who specifically has these weapons. Were talking about a new axis of evil, arent we . Were talking about iran, russia, china the, north korea. And i also wanted to get your take in terms of the people working within the administration right now. You said iran negotiating with iran. Absolutely. And thats whats troubling, is that, you know, some of those folks with top secret cheernses are aware of, you know, they should not have access to the decisions that that were making against iran right now when theyre sympathizing with iran. But to the issue of weapons, apartment of what makes this, you know, were in uncharted waters, maria, and israel is facing something that no one really can tell you how this is going to play out because, you know, were all aware of the fact that israels going to go in with some sort of Ground Invasion into gaza, but the greater threat is to the north with hezbollah. You know, instead of homemade rockets which is what hamas has, hezbollah has a Fighting Force of 100,000, they have somewhere between 75,000130,000 precisionguided missiles. Heres why thats important, maria. Unlike the hamas rocket that just went astray and took out a hospital, a precisionguided missile or drone can hit a target from hundreds of miles away within 510 meters. And that is what hezbollah has the capacity to rain on israels iron dome. And we just dont know whether that Defense System will hold up against that. Maria yeah. Thats before we even get into the potential Ballistic Missiles from iran. Maria yeah. Were going to be talking about the Abraham Accords coming up in the program. This was peace, and we were hoping for peace throughout the middle east with the Abraham Accords which was engineered we had peace. Maria by the Trump Administration. While all of this was going if on, what was happening in china . The Communist Party Of China was meeting with vladimir putin. This is without a doubt this has without a doubt helped they that that militarily, economically, diplomatically. Maria yes. Absolutely. Maria john, thank you. The chinese are very are happy about the developments in the middle east. You bet, maria. Maria good to see you, sir. Quick break, and then the military preparing for a Ground Assault against hamas following that october 7th Terrorist Attack. Retired u. S. Army Brigadier General anthony tata is here on the instability across the middle east. Hamas in gaza, hezbollah are coming from the north and the potential of syria looming as a well. Stay with us.

Light Acoustic Music Plays Eagle Screeches energetic music plays there he is its right there oh, hes straight ahead. Hes straight ahead. Straight ahead. Go go go. Cover more ground in the kia sportage turbohybrid. Kia. Movement that inspires. Maria welcome back. Israel is preparing a Ground Assault into gaza. We are expecting it any moment as israel tries to root out and destroy hamas with 300,000 troops expected to face intense urban fighting. The greatest challenge the Israeli Defense force will face lies beneath gaza where some of the 210 hostages are believed to be held right now. Joining me right now the retired army u. S. Brigadier general anthony tata, author of total empire, out right now. General, thanks very much for being here in this morning. Weve been talking about this war, and is i want to get your take on how much confidence can you have that israel can actually win this. I know that there is confidence that israel can blow out hamas, but what about all of these other fronts that israel is facing . Hezbollah in the north, pebble for a broader conflict potential for a broader conflict with syria potentially getting involved as well. Yeah, thank you, maria. Great to to be with you. Israel has a threefront war, essentially, the tactical fight with hamas, operational fight up in the north in the golan with hezbollah and then the iran is their strategic fight. And so the idf, Israeli Defense force, is very, very capable. I have full confidence in their military and their unity of action with their leadership all the way down through their con description Army Conscription army where everybody in the nation serves. Morale is important here when youre surrounded by enemies that want to annihilate you. What i would say is the United States has a role to play here k and that is in severing iran from the equation as much as possible. Iran is funding the hamas and hezbollah, providing them with russian and chinese munitions, precisionguided munitions that are able to come very close to the that target that they want to hit. And so it potentially could overwhelm the iron dome. And so i think if theres smuggles action from iran, hezbollah and and hamas, thats where israel and the idf may get overwhelmed. So the United States needs to begin negotiating and using diplomacy, or military, economic sanctions against iran to move them away are from this. But for some reason this administration has been real reticent to call iran out for what they are obviously doing, even attacking our soldiers through shia are Militia Groups in iraq. Maria its unbelievable that they refuse to connect the dots because they are embarrassed by their support of the iranians in the last two and a half years. General, do you see Think Scenario where u. S. Boots will be on the ground in israel to support israel . Well, maria, i certainly hope not. I think the idf would hope not too. I think if there is any role to may, i can remember that we had some Patriot Missile batteries and so forth in there when we were doing our Gulf Operations to our own purposes. It would be in that type of role, logistics, Missile Defense, intelligence. Those types of functions. But i think theres a real, a high level, a High Standard that that needs to be hit before we commit those kinds of troops. You know, weve got the Marine Expeditionary unit moving through the mediterranean. They unplugged from an exercise with morocco and are headed that that a way. Maria yeah. So i appreciate the administration moving forces into the region that can begin to the deter iran. Maria general, what do you think about these hostages . I want to be real clear here, there is a total of 212 hostages right now including about a dozen americans that we are told. How are we going to get those hostages out in. Yeah. Brutal savages killed, raped women, men, children and then took these hostages. Its unbelievable that were not really talking about it. What i would assume is happening given my past experience in the dod is that weve got our Special Operations forces, delta, navy seals, etc. , martialing somewhere. Weve got intelligence preparation on the battlefield happening perhaps in concert with israel trying to pinpoint is and locate where were able to use imagery and other types of intelligence to find the exact locations and then move in wittily and retrieve them. Thats what i hope is happening. Maria okay. General, thanks very much for weighing in on all of this. Good to talk with you this morning, retired u. S. Army Brigadier General anthony data. Thank you, sir. Thank you, maria. Maria quick break, and then the threat to americas homeland with more than 1. 5 million foreigners entering the country undetected through the wide open border, Texas Attorney general ken paxton and Iowa Attorney general brenna bird on the threat of a Terrorist Attack at home due to bidens open Southern Border policy.

This is not a wakeup call to the people of arizona and america that whats happening in israel, this attack from terrorists, wont happen here, then people have got to all pull their head out from the sand because we have seen thousands of crossings. You just showed some of the figures, Illegal Immigrants tied to these terrorist countries. Its not a matter of if it happens, its when it happens. Its a National Security risk. Maria and that is Arizona Senate candidate kari lake with me last weekend on this program on the impact of bidens Southern Border policy on National Security. Sources within customs and Border Protection telling fox news that in the first 14 Days Of The New fiscal year, Border Patrol has apprehended more than 30 iranians, nearly 60 syrians, 35 pakistanis, over 100 russians, 285 afghans and nearly 2,000 chinese migrants, all Military Age Men at the Southern Border. Joining me right now is Texas Attorney general ken paxton and Iowa Attorney general brenna bird. A. G. S, thank you for being here. Just yesterday we learned theory 2. 5 Million People illegally crossed the border for the justcompleted fiscal year, the highest number ever on record. Ken paxton, what has been the impact . As we know 7 Million People have come into america illegally on joe bidens watch. Well, its taken a huge Economic Impact on us. Weve spent billions of dollars trying to defend our border, billions of dollars on education, health care. Crime is has increased dramatically as a result and, of course, many, many of our children are dying from Fentanyl Overdoses because the borders wide open. Its having a dramatic impact on my state. I know that this is not staying in texas. This is going to impact the entire country for not just years, i think decades to come. Maria this is incredible. Brenna bird, weigh in hear and give us a sense of what you as an a. G. Can do about it. Ken paxton, i know youre about to put more lawsuits pushing back against this federal government. Youve been suing the administration. Brenna, what can you do . Yeah. Well, we joined together and work with other a. G. S to hold the Biden Administration accountable by suing them. They need to fulfill their constitutional duty to secure the border, and if they wont do it, we will take them to court. And, you know, here in iowa were a long way from the Southern Border, but the impacts are felt here. Every states a border state now because of the absolute failure of the Biden Administration to secure our border. Maria you just last week endorsed former President Trump. Obviously as soon as joe biden came into the oval office, he reversed all of the trump policies at the border. Your thoughts on the likelihood that trump gets in and reverses this again. Well, i endorsed President Trump because hes going to fire joe biden and win our country back. And he will secure the border, we know the that he did that as president. We desperately need that because were going to pay for bidens Border Failures for a long time whether its the drug cartels, the how many trafficking, the crime the human trafficking, the crime or the terrorists that are crossing the Southern Border. President trump is going the keep us safe. Maria what do you think, ken paxton, in terms of what you can actually do in texas as the a. G. . Well, look, were limited to some degree by a u. S. Supreme court decision. Were hoping that as my legislatures trying to pass a bill that would allow us to arrest people that are coming into our country illegally, coming into our state, that well have an opportunity to challenge that Supreme Court from decision so that states are not left on the sidelines as the federal government doesnt enforce their own laws and then tells us we cant enforce laws to protect our citizens. So im hopeful as we move through the next couple of months well have the opportunity to challenge that law and defend our own borders and defend our people from the consequences of what the Biden Administrations doing right now. Maria who hears those lawsuits, ken . Tell us the process in terms of how this plays out and how long. So its, unfortunately, i wish it was a fast process, but typically well file our lawsuit in a Federal District court somewhere in texas. Weve been very successful at winning those cases. I think weve won over 70 of our cases against the the Biden Administration. And then typically when they lose, its a appealed to the fifth circuit, is and whoever loses that appeals to the u. S. Supreme court. Some of our cases have gone up there. Weve been successful on some, not on others. But im really hopeful about this potential case in the future where we can have the opportunity to protect our own citizens when the federal government wont do it. Maria yeah. And, brem, this a, youve said you believe trump is going to win the Iowa Caucuses. What about all of these lawsuits that hes facing . Hes got four indictments that hes dealing with right now. How do you see that playing out, and how can you say with confidence that hell win the Iowa Caucuses given the barriers that that theyve put in front of him with these indictments . Well, i he is very popular in iowa because people remember what it was like when donald trump was president. They were better off. Our border was safer, he taught for farmers. Hes very popular here in iowa. As far as the rest of it, you know, as a prosecutor i believe that politics has no place in prosecution. And what im seeing what is happening with politically motivated prosecutions against President Trump, it breaks my heart as a prosecutor to see that because politics belongs at the ballot box, not in front of a criminal indictment in front of a jury. Thats wrong, and it breaks down the rule of law in our country. I dont like to see that. Its not right. Maria well, i know that these indictments play out over time, but theyd like to have a trial before actually the election. Do you think thats, do you think thats possible . If. I think that we have to look at the motivations there. The whole motivations for those cases, theyre all politically based. If he wasnt running for president again, i dont think hed be indicted at all. So i commend President Trump for fighting back and fighting through all of this. Its not right for the criminal Legal Process to be used as a political weapon. That is wrong. It will hurt our country and break down the rule of law. Maria final word, ken paxton. Look, this is a huge problem for our state, our country. Im very encouraged by the fact that Donald Trumps doing so well in the polls. I hope that we can get a president like him and we can go back to to policies and laws that are being enforced that will protect my state and the rest of the country, and im very hopeful that that can happen. Maria well be watching. Thanks very much, ken paxton and brenna bird joining us. Thank you so much. Quick break and then two wars happening at a fragile time for the United States as the House Of Representatives is still without a speaker. The National Debt spiking to 33. 5 trillion, and the u. S.

I realized i needed to make a change when i looked in the mirror and did not recognize myself. I saw the golo commercial and i liked how they werent actors. They just seemed like people that were just happy with themselves and had true results. Since being on golo, i truly feel like im back to the best me i can be. Try golo. It worked for me, and im real. soft music i call for the question, ask for unanimous consent, not the results, and i thanked every one of our colleagues and said i will work as hard as i can to help all of you, help our, help our team, help us get a new speaker and go do the work that the American People want us to do. And thats what im going to do. Maria and that was house judiciary Committee Chairman and former speaker nominee jim jordan. He pulled out of the race for speaker on friday after failing to get the votes. New names now emerging going into the new week where we are expecting another speakers forum. Congress now has just 26 days left before Government Funding runs out and we face another Government Shutdown. Joining me right now is the house Intelligence Committee chairman, devin nunes, thousand the ceo Of Trump Media and Technology Group which owns Social Media Site Truth social. Devin, thanks very much for being here. These are all your former colleagues. You were there. Give us a sense of what can cant be done, how congress is actually at a stalemate without a speaker as we are facing a crisis in israel. Well, clearly, what is not being done right now is subpoenas are not being honored by the Biden Administration. And most of the corruption you see throughout government, most of the investigations that the republicans have that are ongoing involve the Biden Administration. So the Biden Administration is loving this. I mean, so much so you talk about israel, they did something thats so are preposterous this past week which is where they tied ukraine funding to the israeli funding, us isis israeli war funding, and theyre very brazen about it. You have this situation with some two dozen hostages, three dozen americans being hilled, the atrocities that were committed against the innocent israeli people, all of this is coming out, and and biden is so brazen that he goes out and gives one of the worst speeches that ive ever seen the in my congressional career and my time watching politics essentially saying, yeah, israels bad, but look at all of this stuff over here, the shiny ball with russia and ukraine. Meanwhile, 24 7 information on the israeli war, which is good. We should be seeing that. But, look, i was the chair of the house Intelligence Committee. Im not i have trouble finding any information about ukraine and russia. And for a party that has long talked about wanting to go and make peace, where is the olive branch to both ukraine and russia trying to put this back together and stop that war as another war ensues that, as John Ratcliffe just said and i totally agree with him, the middle east is on the verge of a mass scale war like we have been seen in many generations. Maria well, were going backwards. Were now talking about heads being chopped off. The way we were with isis. Right. Maria and were talking about this once again. And weve seen the atrocities online as well from a hamas and the proxies of iran. Yeah. Look, i think if as you well know, kind of the first reports in The Fog Of War can be wrong, but it does appear like the reports that are coming out of israel seem to be even more brutal than isis. Where where you have old people being shot, a lot of this has been reported. Clearly, the record, the historical record here is going to be one of the biggest atrocities, most outrageous atrocities that weve seen in a long time on the planet. Maria yeah. I want to get your take on china and where the communist party fits in here, devin, because while you were in congress you did a lot of studying and a huge investigation into Communist China. So lets take a short break. I want to talk about these migrants being apprehended at the Southern Border and why so many of them are militaryaged men from Communist China. Stay with us, were talking with former house intel chairman devin nunes. Well be right back. Re; now, its down with rybelsus®. His a1c . Its down with rybelsus®. My doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight. I got to my a1c goal and lost some weight too. Rybelsus® isnt for people with type 1 diabetes. Dont take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. Stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis.

Devin, you did a very in depth investigation into Communist China when you were the chairman of the intel committee. I want to get your take on what Griff Jenkins is reporting. Hes at the border, and he says that cbp sources told him that nearly 2,000 chinese migrants have been apprehended at the Southern Border. China, 7,000 miles away from the United States, they are coming through the Southern Border, and these are militaryaged men. What do you make of this . This is just 14 days. This number is astonishing. 2,000 people in 14 days, devin. From the beginning of the fiscal year. This has been gown on for a while. This going on for a while. This issue has been covered up really by the fake news and the Biden Administration. They knew these chinese nationals were coming in months ago. Look, maria, i dont even get Intelligence Reports anymore, but you can see reports from all over the globe, you can see the pictures, the videos of chinese nationals, militaryage ad, just like you said. This is real, and its been happening for months. And everyone knew they were eventually going to headache their way to the border and cross the border. And, look, its not just china, theres over 100 different countries. And you only have to look, think about what weve seen in this country, something that the you would not have seen some 15 or to 20 yearsing ago. You had propalestinian, prohamas demonstrations going on not only in all of the big cities, you actually had it shut down the United States congress, Shut Down Independence Avenue in congress led by members of congress who are essentially proa hamas who, you know and this is another thing maria unbelievable. In this whole discussion, maria. Maria yeah. You have, everybodys complaining about the israelis, the hospital which turned out to be fake news, but what theyre not talking about is, is they were celebrating this before the israelis started bombing gaza. Celebrations were going on around the world of this devastation. Maria devin, thank you so much. Thatll do it for us. Ill see you tomorrow on fox business. Ose glasses.
