Its of course impossible to tell whether its authentic, just independently. Its nothing that remarks it is obviously false. Where the idf says yes, this was recovered from hamas property that was recovered in israeli territory after the raid of the 7th Of October. But im so im pretty confident that its accurate and true, not forgery. Its explosive reporting, and even more devastating, more devastating situation that we then we could have fathom for these hostages. Graeme wood thank you for making the time tonight and for this essential reporting. That is it for us tonight. Now it is time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, lawrence. Does it for us tonight, now its time for the last word with lawrence odonnell. Good evening, alex. Andrew weissmann hasnt been spending as much time with us as usual on this program, but he will be here tonight because there was of course, the guilty plea today, and alex, imagine that you are Sidney Powell i dont want to imagine that, but okay. Thats the way i want to put it, though. Its just more fun that way. And you are still crazy and you have to find a way to show in court today they were still crazy. She found a way to do that when it was very clear that for her a single most embarrassing thing that happened in the courtroom today was not admitting her crimes, which she did, was not saying the word guilty, which she did. It was when she had to see how old she is. Oh, lawrence. And thats the reason donald trump is never going to plead guilty. Because you have to say how old you are. I feel that particular pain. I thought you were gonna say involved a diet dr pepper or a leopard print cardigan, but there are many other ways that we can find ourselves mortified. Its not a subject i want to talk about. Mean either. But if im pleading guilty to a crime, thats not gonna be the worst part of the day. True. Different standard for different folks, i think, lawrence. I will be watching. Thanks, alex. Thank you. Not since world war ii has an american president addressed the nation about two important war zones at the same time while he was leading the United States to winning world war ii, Franklin Delano roosevelt had to publicly address a War In Europe against notti germany and a War In The Pacific against germanys ally, japan. Tonight, President Biden said, we are at an Inflection Point in history that will determine the future for decades to come. On the 7th Of October more than 1300 people slaughtered in israel, including at least 32 american citizens. Scores of innocence, from infants to the elderly grandparents, israelis, americans, taken hostage. As i told the families of americans being held captive by hamas, we are pursuing every avenue to bring their loved ones home. As president , there is no higher priority for me than the safety of americans held hostage. The terrorist group hamas Unleashed Pure Unadulterated evil in the world, but sadly the jewish people know, perhaps better than anyone, that there is no limit to the depravity of the people when they want to inflict pain on others. In israel, i saw people who were a strong, determined, resilient, and also angry, in shock, and in deep deep pain. I also spoke with president abbas of the palestinian authority, and reiterated that United States remains committed to the Palestinian Peoples right to dignity and self determination. The actions of Hamas Terrorists do not take that right away. Like so many others, im heartbroken by the tragic loss of palestinian life, including the explosion at the hospital in gaza, which was not done by israelis. We mourn every innocent life lost. We cant ignore the humanity of innocent palestinians, who only want to live in peace and have an opportunity. The assault on israel echoes nearly 20 months of war, tragedy, and brutality, inflicted on the people of ukraine. People that were bad very badly hurt since putin launched his all out invasion. We have not forgotten the mass graves, the bodies found, varying signs of torture. Rape used as a weapon by the russians, and thousands and thousands of ukrainian children forcibly taken into russia, stolen from their parents. Its sick. Hamas and putin represent different threats, but they share this in common. They both want to completely annihilate a neighboring democracy, completely annihilated. Hamas, its stated purpose for existing, the destruction of the state of israel in the murder of jewish people. A masters not represent the Palestinian People. Hamas uses Palestinians Civilians as Human Shields, and instant palestinian families are suffering because of that. Meanwhile, putin denies ukraine has or ever had real statehood. He claims the soviet Union Created ukraine, and just two weeks ago, he told the world that if the United States and our allies withdraw, and if the United States withdraws, the allies will as well. The military in the ukraine would have a week left to live. But were not withdrawing. When terrorists dont pay the price for their terror, when dictators dont pay a price for the regression, they cause more chaos and death, and more destruction. They keep going. And the cost and threats to american keep rising. The president said, it is time for congress to act. Im going to send to congress an urgent budget request to fund Americas National security needs, to support our critical partners, including israel and ukraine. Its a smart investment thats going to pay dividends for American Security for decades, help us keep american troops out of harms arms way, help us build a world that is safer, more peaceful, more prosperous for a children or grandchildren. Joining us now is democratic congressman Daniel Goldman of new york. He was in israel with his family on october 7th when hamas attacked. Congressman, thank you so much for joining us tonight. I want to go back to that moment on october 7th when you were there. And at times, with the, in tel aviv, sheltering in the hotel and the stairwell with the sirens going off, and where we are tonight, with the way the president responded. It was such a clear and definitive powerful speech from President Biden, who has been just an incredible leader over the last 11 days, and i think he laid out in such clear terms both the rationale and the reason why we must support israel against a terrorist organization, hamas, not against the Palestinian People, but against hamas, which is also bad for the Palestinian People and has kept the Palestinian People from advancing into prosperity in gaza, in large part. And with ukraine. And that these are unified threats against democracy by authoritarianism or terrorism, and that we as the beacon of democracy in the United States, must be there to support our democratic allies, and i thought one of the Better Things he said was this is actually an inexpensive way of doing it, because if we can stem these advances by the enemy, than we will stop them in full stop. If not, they will continue to go forward, which will not only jeopardize our national security, but will be a lot more costly. We heard the president say, hes coming to congress tomorrow, asking for appropriations, asking for aid to ukraine into israel. That will be request he makes to a dysfunctional house of representatives. And i hope its a catalyst, lawrence, because i would expect senator schumer, leader schumer to bring that up immediately incentive, pass it, preferably, with strong bipartisan support, based on the persuasive case that President Biden made tonight, and they will send it over to the house. And then the House Republicans will have to have a reckoning. Are they going to let this essential aid to our democratic allies around the world just linger there and laps while they have their petulant in fighting and keep the house from being opened . And just remember, lawrence, we democrats are eager to work in a bipartisan way, to not only passed this bill that is forthcoming, but other essential bills, including keeping our government open. But we democrats cannot do it alone. We need republican cooperation there in the majority and they we just sit here waiting, hoping, that they can work across the aisle so that we can get this work done. President biden worked hard with israel, with egypt to try to get humanitarian aid flowing. It has not crossed the egyptian border yet into gaza. They are still working out all of the checks that it has to go through to make sure there are no weapons on those first 20 trucks that there are going to be sending through there possibly tomorrow. That aid the president says is absolutely necessary for the people of gaza, with whom he says he has complete sympathy. Yes, it is. And the other thing you mention tonight, which i think is very important, is that it yes, it is. And the other thing you mention tonight, which i think is very important, is that it is a test case. This aid is intended for the Palestinian Civilians who have been uprooted because of hamas s attack on israel and the ensuing response that israel used in defense of itself. But hamas has actually stolen humanitarian aid from the u. N. Site earlier this week that was intended for palestinian citizens. And i thought would President Biden said was very important. If this aid does go to the Palestinian Civilians, then there will be a lot more aid coming. But if hamas once again takes advantage of the civilians in gaza and uses that aid for themselves, as they have done with billions of dollars defend their terror network, then we will have to reassess what we can do with the humanitarian aid. It is on hamas to make sure that that aid gets to the civilians who have been uprooted, who by the way, hamas uses as Human Shields and has prevented, in some cases, from evacuating the war zone. Going forward, what do you expect of israel in terms of following the laws of war, as President Biden has been talking about them, and their own expressed concern that many of them have for the humanitarian concerns of the palestinians . I would expect israel to continue doing what it has been doing, which is to send text messages, leaflets, make phone calls, videos, warning Palestinian Civilians have been suing attacks and in one case, of course, urging them to evacuate from the north to the south. Because israel has made it clear as well, it does not want innocent palestinian lives to be lost. But hamas is an enemy that must be taken care of. And one of the best examples of why this is so important is what happened with that hospital where the media jumped to believe the propagandists Hamas Terrorist Organization that israel bombed it. And it ultimately proved convincingly not to be the case, that it was a rocket from the Palestinian Islamic jihad that malfunctioned and landed on the hospital. This is the type of thing that gives israel a double standard and a bad name even though they did not do anything. And so, israel knows it must abide by the laws of armed conflict, as it has been doing and has President Biden has urged it to continue to do. Congressman dan goldman, thank you very much for joining us tonight. Thank you. Joining our discussion now is shes a member of the Armed Services committee and was in israel last weekend as a part of a bipartisan Delegation Led by chuck schumer. Senator rosen, thank you very much for for joining. Us eager to talk to you since you got back from israel. What did you see there that informs your approach to this crisis now . Well, lawrence, thank you for having me. I will tell you that we spend a very intense day in israel meeting with the war cabinet, meeting with president herzog, Prime Minister netanyahu, meeting with the families whose loved ones are taken hostage. What we felt when we met with them, those 203 estimated to be hostages, taken brutally, savagely taken in a premeditated and preplanned fashion. One woman said to us, we no longer live in the world with the rest of you. They live in a limbo waiting and waiting every second in eternity. So we listen to what the government said, the soldier said, with the family said. We want to tell everyone that we are supplying israel with everything that they need to defend themselves against this brutal act of terror. And we wanted to show bipartisan support for the only democracy in the middle east. And again, standing up in the face of terror wherever it is, we need to stand tall and we need to stand strong and we will support the state of israel. There is a tremendous sympathy for the plight of palestinians in this country and around the world. And when stories like the Hospital Explosion come out, there was, among many people, a quick reflective reaction assuming it was israel who did it. American intelligence has shown that it was not. The Columbia Journalism Review today summarized just some of the other kinds of misinformation that people are being subjected to primarily on twitter. It said, a document appearing to show that the Biden Administration gave israel Eight Billion dollars in funding turned out to have been doctored. Video footage that some said showed a hamas soldier shooting down an israeli helicopter was from a video game. A report on mass decisions from the Israeli Defense forces was said to have come from and israeli tv station, which shut down in 2019. A video of a young boy line in a pool of blood surrounded by men in Israeli Military fatigues was offered as evidence of brutality, but in reality, was a behind the scenes shot from a palestinian movie. Senator rosen, your constituents are subject to this flow of misinformation along with real information that informs their sympathies for the plight of people stuck in gaza now. What would you say to them about what the United States can do now for the people of gaza . First of all, i think, lawrence, youre exactly right. The media has become a War Fighting Domain for people like Vladimir Putin and Terrorist Organizations like hamas fully backed by iran. So what we have to do is keep cooler heads. We have to understand that israel, allies and partners around the world, we want to be sure that we give israel the supplies that she can defend herself against these brutal acts of terror. We want to be sure we give everything we can to rescue those hostages, some of them americans. Like i said, children, handicapped individuals, Special Needs children, holocaust survivors, and we must be sure to get that humanitarian aid in to the people who need it just like Congressman Goldman said, we have to be sure that its going there and not being siphoned off to the terrorists who would use it against the state of israel. And so what i want to tell my constituents and everyone is to take a moment, take a breath, before you believe what you see and look at your trusted news sources. Try to be sure that you understand the gravity of whats going on and that we must stand up to terror in all forms. Of course, hamas could take a big step in a humanitarian direction by releasing all of the hostages immediately, but there are no outside observers who ever expect rational or humanitarian action to be taken by hamas. That expectation does land on israel in the situation. And israel, Going Forward, is obviously going to have to be extremely careful about both the perception and the reality of the humanitarian situation in gaza. Yeah, i think youre exactly right there. And what we have to do is to think about how we negotiate or how we go to get these hostages back to their loved ones. And so, i can tell you that israel, along with allies and partners, are trying to figure out the best way for us to do this. Because its important. This is against every single rule of law. You dont premeditate, preplan, publicly reported, the documentation, youve seen, youve reported on it here. This brutality was premeditated and they executed it even better than they thought they would. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of Human Innocent lives at stake here. Ive put resolution in the house which is bipartisan Pauline On Hamas to release these innocent hostages that the American Government stands strong against terror, and were going to work with every channel we can to get them out safely to their loved ones. This is what President Biden said tonight about the ultimate solution for the people of gaza, which is of course the two state solution. In discussions with the leaders of israe
