There were those with a whole lot of weapons that would wipe out israel if they could. we dont think a defense should be a green light to wage war on gaza or palestine generally. we have been able to use leverage to get israel to dramatically increase the pace of humanitarian aid into gaza and to scale back some of the military operations but it has taken too long and we are not satisfied yet with the degree to which israel is balancing necessary self-defense with protecting innocent civilian li...

British damage and crummy in russia there would have f-16s. this idea, give up on ukraine makes the world safer. if you pull the plug on ukraine because you dont have enough capability, there goes taiwan. ukrainians are fighting like tigers. this aid package has eight loan component to it. this would not have passed without donald trump. i wanted to thank the house speaker and hakeem jeffries to work together bipartisan fashion to give weapons to ukraine to let matters to us. president trump has...

Use the leverage we have to force real border security. ill tell you, maria, this week was a bad week for the united states constitution. this week we had the alejandro mayorkas trial that was supposed to happen this week, and senate democrats, every democrat refused to hold a trial and essentially nuked the impeachment proviolations -- provisions of the constitution. and also this week we saw both the house and the senate refuse to enforce the fourth amendments warrant requirement for searches ...

Warrants for spying on americans, and he put his thumb on the scale on that. today were going to see the third betrayal,s going to give up all of our leverage to get any security at the border because hes going to shove schumers bill through the house. neil: would it be any different if he went? you only have such a republican majority, three, four, five seatsment that wont change. the reality of that math wont be altered. >> were worried about 2025, 0 we want to keep the majority. here is the p...

Syria from targeting iranian diplomatic facilities and thats why the iranians, i think adopted a different approach. >> ali, before i let you go, do you think that these sanctions that the us the uk, and eu rolled out this week are going to have any real impact look, alex, were now basically still implementing the previous administrations, maximum pressure policy. and one of the side effects of pursuing a policy like that is that you basically maxed yourself out of leverage and i dont think ther...

Were to resign, then what we saw, what happened in the fall, there is absolutely no consensus candidate, and thats theres a problem. so two things can be true. one, theres nobody to replace mike johnson, perhaps he survives as motion to vacate vote, but he is badly damaged. theres no doubt about it by the deals that he had to cut in this by narrowly divided house and not having much leverage with the democrats in the senate. it himself evolving on some of these key issues. the question will be a...

Support and clearly not being willing in any significance measure to impose real costs on israel for not hitting us warnings and requests, but also to flout international law, including the un council resolution the icj. so i think as well as behavior is partly a function of really the us as failure to exercise leverage over iran. and obviously the us over israel. pardon? and obviously us has significant amounts of leverage that it could exercise if it wanted to over as well. but i dont think th...

Another very significant provocation and seek to respond in a muscular way along the lines that its officials have been warning over the past week. >> im curious if iran does choose to put a lid on this for the moment and doesnt respond militarily. what, what, what else might it do? i mean, good, it perhaps ramp-up uranium enrichment to bomb grade levels. is that an area of leverage for a run? >> so one thing we could see is a dynamic of less than proportionate responses. so israels attack on ir...

Against iran. now, the us is not saying that israel needs their permission because israel is a sovereign nation. they can do whatever they want. but in this moment, with such massive us support for israels war in gaza, the us certainly has a large amount of leverage and the us, along with close allies, france and britain, who mind you, helped out in that help defend israel last weekend other members of the g7, they all wanted israel two in the words of the white house, take the win, recognize th...

Somewhere around 10%. it has a lot of weaponry that it can on leash, on israel. now, the tragedy and all of this is, i dont think either israel or iran wants the beaver war clearly the united states has used its leverage to try to prevent the region from deteriorating into something that is no one can contain. one of the big questions of course, is also what is israels long-term strategy isnt seeking to prevent a nuclear weapon of capability or is it trying to encourage or do things that lead? e...
