En is on capitol hill in the u. S. House of representatives. Yesterday the senate. All of it is hot for blinken. A lot of heat on him for giving iran warm condolences over the death of a Stone Cold Mass Killer of the irans president , raisi, died in a Helicopter Crash over the weekend and known as the butcher of tehran. Also there are demands for answers on what the administration will do about the International Criminal courts warrant for the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahus arrest. On the same charge it issued for hamas terrorists. Im hair use faulkner and you are in the Faulkner Focus. Todays hearing kicked off this way. I was really prepared to discuss the specifics of the Budget Request today but im so deeply concerned by frankly the dangerous policies being pursued by this administration. Dont take my word for it. The world is up in flames. Most notably i want to focus towards israel and this critical moment in history. This administration is playing a very dangerous game with israels security and by extension, frankly, our own national security. Harris Secretary Blinken Yesterday described potential warrants for israeli and hamas leaders as shameful equivalents. President biden called it outrageous. Netanyahu said the action against him is absurd. Former israeli Prime Minister bennett accused the court of acting as a Political Tool for israels enemies. The iccs move is shining a bright light on the division among democrats. Democratic socialists as he calls himself. Senator Bernie Sanders with this. The icc is not making some claim of equivalence, as some have charged, but is, in fact, holding both sides in this current war to the same standard. Democraticly Elected Officials can commit war crimes. The icc is doing its job. Harris look at this. A new Opinion Editorial argues the issue could not come at a worse time for the Biden Administration for the democrats divided over the war in gaza in an election year. Theyre talking about a possible netanyahu address to congress. The speaker is putting Major Pressure on schumer to extend an invitation. Schumer has been a vocal critic of the israeli leader. So we dont know how this is going to go. Gillian turner is at the State Department with more. Gillian, the words that blinken spoke about a man known as a butcher of tehran, who took Forklift Trucks out with prisoners, Political Prisoners inside those trucks and used cranes to hang those Political Prisoners every half hour in intervals. This is who this man was. Harris, historic numbers of women and teenagers have been executed over the past year, 853 alone in 2023 under raisis regime. Blinken is on the hill today facing a second day of question about the Biden Administrations Foreign Policy. Listen to the opening statements. Were getting through them now. Insure what happened on october 7th never happens again. As we do everything we can to bring about an end to the terrible human suffering. Palestinians in gaza and to prevent the conflict from spreading to other fronts. There are some protestors in that room today but Yesterday Blinken had to face down people accusing him of genocide. Antiisrael protestors before he could even deliver his opening statement. Listen. He is a war criminal. Right now he is testifying before a house panel of lawmakers. Yesterday he did get a grilling over on the senate side. It seems like the world is on fire, in part because of the weakness of our administration. You have presided over the worst Foreign Policy disaster of modern times. He was on defense against accusations the u. S. Is hamstringing israels selfdefense. Senator, i was in israel five days after october 7th and been there seven times since. No one starting with President Biden has done more to make sure they have what they need to defend themselves from hamas. Blinken faced criticism for offering condolences to iran after the death of president raisi. It is something that weve done many times in the past going back many administrations and many decades and we do as a normal course of business. I dont think it should be a normal course of business. I think it is shocking this administration would mourn the death of the butcher of tehran. It is not just anger and dismay over the condolences that the secretary offered. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are also upset that the u. S. Administration offered to help the iranians with the Search And Rescue operation that ultimately reclaimed the body of president raisi as well as the fact that the Deputy Ambassador at the u. N. Stood on the floor during the Moment Of Silence for the passing of the president. Harris. Harris one minute of silence for a butcher. Gillian turner, thank you. In focus now pete hegseth, cohost of fox Friends Weekend and he has a brandnew book coming out The War On Warriors that goes on sale june 4th. For now raisi. There is a long trail of killing with this man. By the way, i have read he was projected to be the ayatollah in waiting. So he was going to scoop up even more power before he died in that Chopper Crash over the weekend. Your thoughts on how we are dealing with this through the Biden Administration. Well, its a death we should be celebrating. Good riddance. May the islamic regime that currently controls iran be gone and may their own people have actual sovereignty of what happens in their country. They have had a country run by our administration wished the iranians well. This administration is off the charts. They talk out of both sides of their mouth all the time. The International Criminal court. The idea that you would treat israel and the hamas the same way. I think joe biden said it is shameful equivalence. Well, you know what this same administration is doing with the International Criminal court . Theyre trying to use it to get at russia for the Russia Ukraine war. They want to use it for their own purposes. At every step these are globalists with trying to play global games and putting american interests last. This is what is at stake in 2024. America first Foreign Policy versus america last. Which has worked with our enemies and then somehow through the twisted actions of their surrogates like hamas, then help the International Community push for a Palestinian State. Hamas is getting what it wants. Hamas is getting what it wants. It is getting conversations about the Palestinian State because our State Department has played both sides of the coin. Blinken has been to israel seven times. He is holding them back trying to pull them back advocate for less action in gaza so that the israelis cant finish the fight and crush hamas. Blinken is the problem. Harris well, this is interesting because biden i dont think really has a Foreign Policy for that part of the world. He cant seem to figure out what to do. President bidens pushback now on the icc, pete, you were so right about that. They are dealing with them in one way and want to come down on them. Theyre disingenuous. The pushback that biden is feeling right now is puts him at odds with one of his major donors, George Clooney. His wife, played a key role in the decision to go after Arrest Warrants and go get benjamin netanyahu. Yeah, thats where she is putting her power and her money, or maybe a combination with his. A new Opinion Piece says she stated she was asked by the icc brass to evaluate evidence for suspected war crimes. She personally persuaded the socalled experts and bosses to shove israel as well as the hamas persecutors equally under the bus. The statement marked a departure for George Clooney, who previously has declined to link his name to the israel hating and antisemitic activities promoted by his wife. But now he is linked to the forces of evil with whom his wife has pledged loyalty. Records show George Clooney donated more than a half Million Dollars to the Biden Victory fund and biden for president back in 2020. He has yet to make a donation in the 2024 cycle. When you have that kind of cash i guess you can chip in when you want to. It is never too late to put that much money on the plate. Pete. Make no mistake about it. This is just another piece of evidence that our socalled elites are left wingers are antiamerican globalists happy to use an International Institution they know nothing about to impugn the character of americans and our allies. In this case it is netanyahu. In this case its israel. If these elites got their way they would throw the American Military under the bus, too. American generals or commanders in chief who were in difficult wars where things happened. Thats what the icc would like to come after america. Going after israel right now. Like to come after america. In my book The War On Warriors it is bad enough what generals and politicians have done. Americans to our warriors. Can you imagine ceding our sovereignty to an International Body full of left wing europeans who Hate Americans and israelis . I think they threw hamas in for good measure. This is the view of these people. Antiwestern, antiisrael, antiamerican. These International Institutions are dangerous. We should defund them and sanction them at every turn and leave the u. N. , too, while were at it. None of these International Groups are serving our purpose and havent for a long time. Republican Foreign Policy should say that. Harris i talk about the United Nations and nato yesterday and i take a lot of grief about that. What we put in, are we really getting out what we need . Would this president ever end up to the icc . Well have to hold our breath to find out. Tomorrow the Faulkner Focus will come live to you from washington, d. C. I will be sitting down with House Speaker mike johnson. There is a lot going on with him right now. In fact, were going to talk about the u. S. israel policy, Icc Arrest Warrant for benjamin netanyahu.

He is now starting to throw hail marys before we reach memorial day. Under his watch we have had runaway inflation, families cant afford groceries or gas. Harris notice the timing.

This time he is selling off 42 million gallons to try to blunt the pain at the pump. Americans are facing rising prices as we know. Were getting close to Summer Travel season when they normally go up anyway. Todays National Average is 3. 61 per gallon of regular gasoline. Up 50 from when President Biden took office. So you know people are feeling this. Senator mike lee posted this. President biden is yet again using americas Emergency Fuel reserves to cover for his disastrous inflationary policies in an election year. Virginia gop congressman bob good boils it down this way. Ahead of the election he thinks it is a political reserve. Young people are suffering. Americans are suffering under this president s policies, whether its grocery prices, housing prices, utility prices, gasoline prices, they are suffering and thats what this is really about. This isnt the first time biden has tapped into the u. S. Fuel supply. He ripped up big controversy for using nearly 300 Million Barrels from the Strategic Oil reserve. That is down 42 from when he took office. By the way, 1 Million Barrels would be 42 million gallons. Gallons of gasoline. There is a direct effect he is trying to have on the market. David avella, gopac chairman and leslie marshall, fox news contributor. Great to see you both. So david, i will start with you. Where are we getting our oil . Why arent we more oil independent and what does this tell the American People about this economy . This tells the American People that we can only be so lucky if this were about politics. The reality, harris, is the Biden Administration is very clear. They want to end americans use of fossil fuels and you have to take the reserves down from 638 million to 368 million as you just noted on that stat. It is why his First Executive order was about increasing regulations on fossil fuels. It is why a week ago in montana well make it harder to mine for coal which clearly puts the u. S. Senate race more in play. These decisions arent about politics per se. These are about a radical agenda that this administration is going to pursue to get rid of fossil fuels in america. Harris leslie, i had just said it ant want to say it again. There is a direct line between a Million Barrels of oil and 42 million gallons of gas. So he is going to flood the market literally right now during the highest point of the year. What that means is our reserves are down by 42 on his watch. Who puts that oil back . Are we going to buy from dirty producers like venezuela . Biden isnt allowing us to do this things that would make us independent. Actually, harris, its a good question and i asked that myself the other day. Somebody knows far more about this than i do. When russia made the Oil And Gas Market go crazy after attacking ukraine, what happened is the United States f
