The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells Bloomberg he will not pursue the entire judicial overall originally planned by his government, but he will try to change the makeup of the judge selection committee. I'm still going to give it several months to try to get another consensus. What is it? It would probably be about the composition of the committee that elects judges. I don't think we should move from one extreme where we have perhaps the most activist judicial court on the planet to get it to a point where the legislature or Knesset can just knock out any decision that the court makes. There has to be a balance. That's what we're trying to restore. The exclusive interview comes after months of protests across Israel and volatility on the nation's financial markets. The full conversation with Netanyahu is coming up shortly. Asian stocks are flat at the start of the trading week following mixed signals from Friday's U .S. jobs report.

Caroline Glick: A Showdown in the Israeli Supreme Court
"Knesset our parliament and so what the Supreme Court is doing by having this hearing is they're setting up Israel for a civil war effectively because if they if they if they abrogate this law then what they're saying is that there are no limits on their their power that the rule of law doesn't limit their power that no law limits their power that they get to decide the rules of the game for the government for the elected branches of Israeli governance the government and the effort and they also get to decide the limits of their power for which they accept zero based on whatever they feel like they're just are leaving the mothership and if this goes through you know it's going to be very difficult to call Israel a democracy because we will actually just be officially a judicial tyranny so that's starting tomorrow and it's about what is it called when a when a president when a prime minister is infirm and capable of carrying out his duties so the purpose of the legislature was always to say that you know if you're struck by a stroke like Ariel Sharon was or you know you're in a coma whatever or then you obviously can't fulfill the office and you have to be removed from office but our Attorney General wants to remove Benjamin Netanyahu from office and so she was trying to expand the definition based on nothing and so the the connect that went very clear went to quickly amend the existing law to make it clear that she couldn't just out the Prime Minister she because didn't like the way he was behaving and so they they limited it so that they that you can only ask the Prime Minister from office if he's medically incapable of performing his duties.

The Hugh Hewitt Show: Highly Concentrated
A highlight from Former V.P. Mike Pence on Putin's threat to Poland and Biden's interference in Israeli politics
"Welcome to today's podcast, sponsored by Hillsdale College, all things Hillsdale, hillsdale .edu. I encourage you to take advantage of the many free online courses there. And of course, to listen to the Hillsdale dialogues, all of them at hughforhillsdale .com or just Google Apple, iTunes, and Hillsdale. Welcome back, America. I'm Hugh Hewitt, joined by former Vice President Mike Pence. Mr. Vice President, welcome back to the Hugh Hewitt Show. Hey, good to be with you, Hugh. Thanks for having me on. Well, I want everyone to go to mikepence2024 .com if they want to support you, if they want to learn about the campaign. We'll come back to the campaign in a second. But I'm not mistaken, Mr. Vice President, you and the former president are the only two people running for office who have ever received the daily brief, who understand, had all the clearances you could. So I want to ask you three national security questions this morning, beginning with the threat that Vladimir Putin made in the company of Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus, that any attack on Belarus would be an attack on Russia. And then the Belarusian leader made the claim that the Wagner people in Belarus are wanting to go to Warsaw. What would be the obligation of the United States in the event that Wagner, Belarus, or Russian troops attacked Poland? Well, there's no question what the obligation would be under Article 5 of the NATO treaty. And that would be required to support Poland, we'd be required to be involved militarily. It's one of the reasons why I've said many times, I mean, Joe Biden has done a terrible job explaining what our interest is in Ukraine. He keeps giving these gauzy speeches about democracy. And for all the world, it sounds like another campaign speech and our interest there. And the reason why we should continue on an increasing basis to give the Ukrainian military what they need to repel the Russian invasion is because we never want to see the day that the Russian military, whether it's a Wagner group in Belarus or otherwise, crosses the border of a NATO country where our troops would be required to fight. I mean, that's how you get peace through strength, is by living out the Reagan doctrine, which always said, if you're willing to fight the communists on your grounds with your soldiers, we'll give you what you need to fight them there. So we don't have to fight them. And yet there are too many voices in our party that are sounding the retreat. They're willing to let Putin keep the land grab that he's made in Eastern Ukraine, willing to make promises. I heard my former running mate has announced over the weekend that he's willing to promise that Ukraine will never be in NATO. Look, in my opinion, the only thing Putin will understand is strength and providing those courageous fighters in Ukraine what they need to to repel the Russian invasion is the fastest way to security and preventing the day that American forces are actually required to go into battle in Europe again. What do you think Lukashenko and Putin are doing here? The Telegraph calls it a setup for a false flag operation or is it just mind games? Yeah, look, I would hardly ever counsel Hugh Hewitt on foreign policy, but you and I both know the only thing you can know for sure about anything coming out of Russia is you don't know for sure. Okay, well said. Nothing is as it seems. When you find out that after Ferguson does this supposed coup against Putin, now we found out in the last week that they apparently met a couple days later and had a conversation and the whole thing could have just been a put -up job for Putin to flush out his enemies in his own government. I wouldn't have put it past him. I do like what was once said by another presidential candidate. He said he looked into Putin's eyes and he didn't see his soul. He saw KGB. That's who you're dealing with and so nothing is as it seems in the acolyte state of Belarus that I just wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him and that's why we just need to stay strong in this effort and continue to demand that the Biden administration stop dragging their feet on providing arms in Ukraine, which they've been doing for the last year and a half. Give those people what they need. They can win this war and secure the peace of Europe and the security of our country. Now Vivek Ramaswamy, who you'll be sharing a stage with on Friday at the Iowa GOP Lincoln and with all the other candidates are going to have their speeches in Iowa, Vivek was throwing shade on NATO this weekend on Fox News Sunday. Meanwhile, the US and 13 allies were holding a record -setting military exercise in Australia. It seems to me that this might be a time for us to expand our alliances, Mr. Vice President, not sever them. Well, we'll be strengthening our alliances. The last thing that we ought to do is try and secure peace in Ukraine by rewarding Vladimir Putin's naked and brutal invasion into that country by giving him the land and giving him promises never to have Ukraine be a part of NATO. Look, and this has everything to do with the wider world, Hugh. I mean, there's no question in my mind that if we end up capitulating to Putin's aggression, that will only embolden President Xi in his military ambitions in the Asia Pacific. And I just think this is one of those moments where we learned hard lessons in the first half of the 20th century where America, we thought we could hang back. We thought we could hang back within our borders and watch as the world became more unstable and unfurled. And we learned hard lessons than having to come into the fight, both in World War I and especially in World War II. And we won those fights for freedom, but we've secured the peace now for three quarters of because a century we've been willing to stand strong. We've been willing to be the arsenal of democracy. And if I'm president of the United States, I promise you we're going to live out that commitment of being leaders of the free world. And let me also say, I had a sporting debate on stage about a week or so with a former Fox News host that got some play on the Internet. I just don't think we have to choose between solving problems here at home, which is the economy that's failing, the border crisis, the crisis in energy, the crime wave in our cities. I don't think we have to choose between solving problems here at home and being the leader of the free world. We can do both. And anybody who says we can't has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. Now, Mr. Vice President, third, I'm playing rapid fire national security, but a lot happened this weekend. Right now they are voting in the Israeli Knesset on the reform of the Israeli Supreme Court. Got nothing to do with America. It's an internal Israeli domestic issue. Yesterday, President Biden told Israel to stop, slow down and not do that. And Tom Friedman, one of the most extraordinary columns ever in The New York Times, telling the president to address the dear President Biden that the October 1973 intervention by Richard Nixon to save Israel is what he's facing right now. He has to save Israel by getting by involved speaking the truth. What do you make of the intervention of an American president into the internal domestic politics and policy and judiciary of an ally? Look, I said many times and I was at Christians United for Israel a week ago, Hugh, and I was honored to receive some recognition there, Defender of Israel Award. I was humbled by that. Look, I was a part of the most pro -Israel administration in American history, I always would say. And I will tell you, if I'm president of the United States, if the world knows nothing else, the world will know this. America stands with Israel. And this preoccupation of Democrats, which literally goes back decades of trying to micromanage what's happening in the domestic politics in Israel, is wrongheaded. And it undermines a clear message to one of the most dangerous parts of the world of our commitment to our most cherished ally. I reject it categorically. I'm a great admirer of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He's absolutely determined to see this this court reform through. And I think we ought to let Israel be Israel, let them sort these things out domestically. And our position should just be to always give them what they need to defend themselves, by themselves, and to make it clear in the region, in the world, that America stands with Israel. Period paragraph.

Israeli protests of legal overhaul show no signs of slowing
"Mass protests continue, but Israel's government won't scrap plans to overhaul the judiciary. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu may have paused reform plans for now, but protesters are still turning up in numbers. Weekly protest organizers say they will put pressure until the plants are completely thrown out. Appearing on NBC's meet the press and asked about public anger. Netanyahu insists judiciary reform is needed. I look for a broad consensus on the judiciary. Every democracy, including your own, has continuous tension between the judiciary and the executive or the legislative. That's happening in America. It's happening in France. It's happening in Israel. It's a natural tension of trying to keep the balance between the three branches of government. Currently, on trial on corruption charges, the plan could give Netanyahu and his government allies final say in appointing judges and see parliament gain authority to overturn the Supreme Court.

US Intelligence Breach Reveals Shocking Truth About Russian Intervention in Africa
"So let's look at what some of these documents expose. Number one, many of them talk about the war in Ukraine, including United States and Ukrainian communications about the types of heavy weaponry and equipment held by 9 Ukrainian brigades, as well as precise numbers about Ukraine's deteriorating air defense system. This obviously is of immense strategic importance to Russia now that Russia has access to these documents. They know a lot about the internal workings of the Ukrainian military system. Number two, another thing that these documents revealed are U.S. communications with our allies, namely South Korea and Israel, and allegedly a few of these classified documents show a correspondence where Mossad, which is the Israeli counterpart of the CIA, the Israeli intelligence service. They show a correspondence where Mossad is again allegedly it's not confirmed, but allegedly encouraging Israeli citizens to protest against prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and specifically his judicial reforms, which have caused a lot of upheaval in Israel. Now Mossad and top Israeli government agents are vociferously denying these charges. Again, it is just an allegation at this point, but some U.S. officials have seemed to confirmed that this was taking place.

Israel tensions ease as Netanyahu pauses judicial overhaul
"Israel's political factions opposed to embattled prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu had begun setting up negotiating teams after he paused a controversial overhaul plan on a pensions legislation. Netanyahu has acknowledged the division's roiling the nation, and has announced a month long delay for the legislation. He says he wants to avoid Civil War and would seek a compromise. He spoke after tens of thousands of people demonstrated outside the parliament building in Jerusalem, but compromise appears elusive as the standoff remains over the fundamental issue of what kind of country Israel should be and positions only appear to have hardened.

It also lays bare rifts in Israel's new right-wing government, prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has appealed for calm while a member of his ruling coalition praised the rampage.

"Larry, one thing that you and I have not talked about, I don't believe, is Israel. And Benjamin mitten now is new government over in Israel. There are a lot of political and legal issues involved, but there are also some economic issues, as you know, a number of U.S. economists. I don't think we're involved. Wrote a letter, really expressing concern about some of the proposed changes in the judiciary. What that could mean for the Israeli economy. I was a little surprised to see your name came up, actually, and the times of Israel as having talked to the prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. What do you want to tell us about what they're doing over there? So David, I don't talk about my conversations with government officials as you know. But I have been following this issue closely. And I think the temperature has to come down on both sides. I think there is a case for strong case for judicial reform in Israel. It's unusual by international standards for judges to be chosen by currently sitting judges. It's unusual for courts to be able to rule out legislation simply by judging that it's unreasonable without having a constitution to point to. On the other hand, it's very clear from the context of the way this is being done. That it is feeling to a large number of people and a large number of people with the capacity to move their money in and out of Israel, particularly in the entrepreneurial community that an overly rapid not carefully done judicial reform could raise serious and profound questions about the rule of law. And that it seems to me could have quite serious adverse effects on the Israeli economy

"This is the big day break Middle East. Our top stories this morning. It's Fenty. Stronger than expected U.S. jobs data will keep pressure on the FOMC to carry on the aggressive fight against inflation. Larry summer says the Central Bank must not pause too soon. What was really prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu looks poised to return to power after the country's 5th elections in 2019. Idiosy governor says he hopes the property market can achieve a soft landing and insist the Chinese economy remains broadly on track. And Elon Musk says the premium version of Twitter will cost $8 a month and include a verified check mark for paying users accounts. Let's check back in with Juliette a person of course who has had a blue check mark for a very long time. She joins us from our Singapore studio Jules. Yeah, you're getting paid if you need to use it. Well, let's have a look at what we are seeing particularly in the Japanese yen because we were talking earlier about the fact that it is rising on potential intervention speculation if we do see power pushback against a pivot, but we've also been hearing from governor Corona speaking in the last couple of minutes in parliament and the finance minister Suzuki as well. Corona saying the recent yen drop is rapid and not desirable for the economy. We've heard that before. And Suzuki is saying The Weeknd has both positives and negatives and there is no doubt that a weekend is pushing up inflation in Japan. Elsewhere we are continuing to watch this reopening theme in Hong Kong and Shana drive markets higher both those markets higher on the lunch break and adding to a broadly positive session for Asian equities rising for a third day ahead of the fed. We also had the PBOC paint a fairly positive picture about the economy Egan saying it remains broadly on track and he hopes the property market can achieve a soft landing use of. And what about analysts who are saying China's reopening speculation rally has legs? Yeah, well, of course, this is the key, isn't it? If we do see some kind of concrete confirmation that they will reopen and there is a lot of speculation that that could happen in March. That is going to be the major momentum for equity markets. But you be saying the rally, unlikely to be sustained, unless we do see some concrete signs, they say most of the momentum we saw in afternoon trade yesterday is really due to the fact that Chinese stocks are so undervalued. EI says that the timeline is likely going to be after the NPC meeting and who on security is saying sectors like food beverages and social services will rebound strongly if we do see some concrete confirmation of a reopening. Let's put the board and have a look over the last couple of years, which is not even as long as the pandemic has been going on just how much of a headwind you have seen to these markets in China, the H share index down some 47%, the CSI 300 off by more than 22% and a 9% decline in the offshore yuan. So very much investors hoping that we will see some signs of a reopening and turn these assets around Yusuf. Yeah, I watering last is their double digits for some of the China equity indexes. Jules, thank you for the overview. That's really a Sonny there. I want to get to Hong Kong from a bit of a different perspective where the global financial leaders investment in summit is underway. Ivan Mann and David and glass, they've been on the front lines of their standing by with another special guest, guys. Yep, we've been here the last VR is Yusef and certainly to your point, different is really been. This is the first major in person financial services event. And in a lot of ways, it's being used to relaunch Hong Kong as a financial center, a 120 companies, 40 plus of which are represented by their chairperson or their CEOs. So we've been having a lot of good conversations around us. We've heard also from a lot of policy makers and it's reopening thing. It seems to be kind of the ongoing theme for first from John Lee the chief executive saying, you know, basically telling directly to Ford investors, financial institutions out there that the past is behind us, the worst is over. And look forward to Hong Kong opening, business is back and obviously still remaining back global financial hub. As well as that gateway to China as well. Let's bring in Bruno la mer.

What maintains there there are certain. Tonight we're going to continue working together. i think that's that's the key question. Just just to reframe it. If benjamin netanyahu is no longer leader of the opposition. What would that do to the government Because there is an alternative block over sixty seats of right wing parties bennett. Saas new hope plus liquor plus marriages. So i with bullet so pooled religious honest go mortgages his once. That glue is no longer than what's keeping the government together. So i'd say two things. It doesn't look like that glue is disappearing anytime soon. Netanyahu still feels that. He's got a role to play that he's not. He's not going anywhere anytime soon in may will be there on knives. That are getting ready. Fame within likud. I'm as people who blame him for the fact that they could his opposition despite having fifty seats but it doesn't look too. Now's going anywhere for the time being the other thing. I'd say things are really interesting. Discussion over whether bennett. Supporters are happy with benedict prime minister in the current. The current government. And i. i don't really know the answer to that because most people who criticize bennett. I very bennett in the first place. But the question would be the benefit and saw many of these people who are currently in government. If they were new elections were they strengthen would they rican might they might even be wiped out as a really interesting question. Every twenty minute has maintained his base and in some ways i think the real person who would gain maybe even the only i would gain from a new elections is potentially shut party meretz. Rain government are very happy. That haven't been there for twenty years. Labor is in government. It's very happy back. Say even if you took the glue away the real question then becomes who within the government actively elections monster obas very happy in government hasn't yet achieved many or all of the things that he'd want to achieve so even if you took the glue away. I'm not convinced that that many berman is the king of taking away glue. What about him in your analysis relieve minton the finance ministry. I think he. I think he's happy that is happening. So i think all of again we could be meeting in six unsung. We can't be discussing the fifth election. In however long. But i i'd say analytically most or if not all of the parties currently in government interested in saying government elections and i would argue that many of them if they were elections would likely lose seats including the current prime minister. I think even if you took the glue. The netanyahu grew very much is keeping them together. But i'd say over and above that even without likley there is an interesting keeping the governor for the time being when will win will Have to switch with up. You'd prime minister in foreign minister. I'm pretty sure that at least in other eighteen months Not something to look forward this year bennett should not is it again..

They are so ideologically different. Says there's a certain amount of glue the him holding together which is anti netanyahu glue. I'm events like a flare up in gaza or in lebanon all sorts of things. Could we government a pop so so that is sixty one. We've less the the the vote for government with sixty versus fifty nine. So it's a very on in some ways zaki very stable because no one wants elections on the other hand. It's very unstable because they really have numbers and one or two people within this very heterogenous coalition could stop them passing vets cincinnati. That's the background to it. So two or three of them resigned from the government that would be new elections. Seventy two ways in israel to false newly we have reached the kind of four year period. But there's two two ways to to fool early. one scenario did very very unlikely scenario. Is that the opposition brings a vote of no confidence to the government and it explicitly says this is how new communist is going to bring this. New defense minister is all the different over different positions and the knesset votes on that and sixty one people. Vote for that alternative government. That has never happened before. I would argue. It's highly unlikely to happen. That's one option. Well presentation of an alternative government. We vote to replace you. And that vote means there's a new government we vote replaced with just for argument's side. Benjamin netanyahu as prime minister and benny. Benny defames all sorts and need sixty one people. Vote for that. The more likely scenario if the government simply fails to pass the budget on time and budget is coming up. Be voted on in november. I on the budget's been passed in nothing three or four years and the big question for the government. As can it pass the budget and if it does pass the budget in in some ways then guaranteed itself protection from being toppled so those kind of looking at the new year. Domestically the big big issue for the government will be can manage. Doesn't have the votes the numbers to pass the budget. And if the own says yes then they may be crises and maybe crises. I've forgotten crises. All sorts of things they may even be. The government can't pass legislation in the class.

"Benjamin Netanyahu's 12 Year run in power ended this week as Israel's parliament voted in a coalition with Naftali Bennett as prime minister. For what this means for Israel. Going forward. We spoke with Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president for the foundation for Defense of Democracies. You've got now a very motley crew of Israeli politicians that banded together. They will really not agree on much, So I think they're going to hold together for as long as they can. But I think Netanyahu likely sees a possibility in the coming weeks or months to try to disrupt the coalition. Break it apart and make another bid for another election. Can they agree on things like the economy? I don't think they've had a budget for a while. Now, have they know they have it and I think that's probably one area will see some progress. And actually, some of the participants in this new coalition are going to be important New voices. There's cigar by the name of Monsoor Abassi, representing Arab Party. It's the first time in an Arab party has actually agreed to join an Israeli governing coalition and this will secure additional finance. For the Arab sector of Israel. I think that will be very important, so you'll see some domestic progress on the foreign policy front. I think it's likely they're just going to hold the line. The current prime minister Naftali Bennett, is a right wing politician agrees with The vast majority of Netanyahu's former policies, and so he'll be opposed to the Iran nuclear deal will probably be less than excited to enter into negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. About two state solution issues, So I think you're probably going to see things to sort of hold steady while they begin to focus on things at home. The only thing that I'll just stay here is, of course, every time an Israeli government tries to focus on things at home, that's usually when things erupt abroad. And I would expect there to be some bumpy road ahead well, and none of us None of us wishes any more strife in that area of the world at all at the same time to put it most pointed way is this coalition gonna survive the first Rock? I think it's fired from Gaza into Israel. Well, that's actually I think probably the most important question to ask because you have the wrong party headed by months, or Abbas. He may be opposed to Israel, striking back at Hamas rocket You also have the participation of the very left wing pro peace Meretz party, which also could have problems. Uh, with an Israeli operation. You know, look that said, if you know future conflicts are short in duration, much like the last one was, which was only 11 days. It's possible that the Israeli government could survive it. But certainly I think that could be where some of the greatest differences of opinion could emerge. Could this coalition government have a different relationship with President Biden? I'm not saying the U. S government because goodness knows President Trump was very close with BB Netanyahu by all appearances, But I did notice that it took a while for B. B. Netanyahu and President Biden to talk after inauguration and by all reports, President Biden called Mr Naftali right away. Yeah, That's right. I mean, look. Part of the problem with with Biden in Netanyahu is that Netanyahu was the interim prime minister and it was in the middle of an election cycle. And it was a bit awkward for the president to call. Uh, Netanyahu when he was not the recognised prime minister. He was standing up for election in March, and it didn't want to look As if the United States was, you know, putting its fingers on the scale, so to speak, and didn't want to give Netanyahu will boost. There's also, of course, the history of these two men, and they had squared off before during the Obama years. In particular over the Iran nuclear deal, which the United States may be heading back into. The Israelis oppose that vehemently. But I do think that it's fair to say that the White House is probably welcoming a change at the top that there is an opportunity to reset relations. The only caveat that I would probably point out here is that then it will be no more warm to the idea of the Iran nuclear deal, And it could be that within a week or two. If the United States enters back into that deal, you have a new critic in Jerusalem, who will have just as A serving of rhetoric as Netanyahu. I noticed that Mr Netanyahu on his way out the door gave a very I would say inflammatory speech, likening the United States failing to do something Iran to FDR failing to bomb the railroads around Auschwitz. Do we expect this new coalition to be as adamant about Iran? And how is that going to sit with Mr Biden? Mr. Biden does apparently want to get a new deal with Iran. Yeah, he does, And and it's not sitting well in Israel to to put it mildly. Look, I think that one of the reasons why Netanyahu was able to stay honest prime Minister for 12 years and why he commanded so much respect inside the Israeli system is that he did take a very principled stand on the Iran nuclear deal. Most Israelis think it's a bad idea. Of course, Iran has vowed to destroy Israel on multiple occasions. And the idea of giving that regime tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars would probably not bode well for Israel, short term or long term, So the Israelis are very alarmed by this, and it's for that reason that they will oppose it. It will be safe for for Bennett to oppose it as well, thanks to Jonathan Schanzer Foundation for Defense of Democracies coming up one of President Clinton's transportation secretaries explains what the United States needs to do for infrastructure.

The Takeaway

"Beyond the bounds of propriety these days but data i think those combinations make him the perfect actor on the world stage and obviously at least at home getting elected on the domestic stage for He may really need those sort of personal touch retail politics straits in his relationship with the new prime minister of israel so we actually reached out. He called a naphtali a bennett within hours whereas it had taken him months to call netanyahu. I'm wondering if you have insights on what this relationship may look like going forward. I think what we'll see. Change is probably more tone than substance. Tally bennett is probably further to the right than benjamin. Netanyahu was on a lot of issues. His new government is not going to support the iran. Deal the iran nuclear deal the same way who didn't There are definitely going to be continued differences between the us and israel. But i think the difference will be that You know. Ben and his people is foreign minister. Others aren't necessarily gonna come and make a speech before congress designed to humiliate the president or take other steps that you know really really emphasize these differences. So probably try to do it. More behind the scenes privately that sort of thing. Look what what we really have to. Also watch though is the ongoing conflict between israelis and the palestinians. And how whatever happens with that like if he stays calm or if it explodes again. How the government of israel reacts and how the us reacts then as well so these are just a lot of it's weird it's like there's these known unknowns you know we know what to watch for we. We don't know what's going to happen so so that's that's what i would say. It's more about tone than substance for do that known unknown relative to afghanistan with me has been been meeting resistance about the decision to remove troops from what i have read. It sounds like people are basically accepting it. I mean he seems set on it and nato and others are basically just trying to figure out how to Leave alongside the us while keeping some form of Security inside the country so that their embassies can continue running. That sort of thing. And and i think you're probably going to see at some point you know. Us air support some kind for the afghan army. but that's going to require finding basis probably hustle unit central asia. and it's. it's there's a lot that frankly still needs to be worked out but the general idea that the us sonate are going to be out. I think that's pretty much agreed to so barbara for cushman. I just wanted to ask you to do that. That known a those unknowns in the domestic context a bit to what are you looking for from president biden over the course of the rest of this year. Well i think transitioning from cove at the top of the of the list. We have to see if we have any more outbreaks there and obviously continued at vaccine a message and then getting that vaccine around the world Getting the economy back Seeing if he can get something done with republicans on infrastructure.

Should he seek to get his old job back in two thousand and twenty four but one of the more baffling questions of this particular. Saga is the one of the barely bridled. Enthusiasm for trump professed by america's lodge noisy and powerful block of conservative christian evangelicals. Who did not seem a natural constituency for a candidate who was among many other apparent to terrence godless. Philanderer compulsive liar and chronic. Materialist joining me now. Is sarah posner. An investigative journalist and expert on the intersection of religion and politics. Her new book is called unholy. Why white evangelicals worship at the altar of donald trump. Sarah of festival. I think we should. We should probably try to establish a baseline here. Which is did the van. Jellicoe is do you think. Regard trump with any more or less enthusiasm enthusiasm than they would have regarded any of the republican candidate. They absolutely dead White evangelicals in the united states are predominantly republican there reliably seventy five to eighty percent of them vote republican and that was true with trump where about eighty percent of them voted for him but they did so far more enthusiastically than they would have or they did For george w bush john mccain or mitt. romney. I mean. I know the question. The answer to this question has literally filled a book. A either one. You've written boot. Why there are so many obvious reasons why you would think serious churchgoing family values conservative would be absolutely repelled by donald trump. Well as it turns out what they liked about. Donald trump is. He spoke to their social and cultural grievances in a way that really appealed to them his anti-democratic small schmaltzy impulses. Were exactly what they were looking for. He came along at a moment when they thought that their political and social issues abortion. Lgbtq rights separation of church and state. They're opposed to that were they. Were fearing that. That was slipping away from them. The demographics were against them that public opinion was against them and here came. Donald trump. He spoke to all of their grievances that political correctness and social justice was overwhelming our society and seizing control of our politics and he was willing to do anything to fight back and that really appealed to them and while he his racial grievances and his nativist grievances also appealed to them. It was these things are not separate from one another. I mean it's understandable. I guess up to a point you can see how people with those concerns would swallow a lot of their other objections and just think well. He's a guy who will get things done that we want to see. Get don we don't necessarily have to lock him. And i think most of us have probably cast a vote along those lines at some point in our lives but it it strikes me from having observed the last few years and also from reading your book that it did go beyond that a lot of these people were fully aboard board members of the donald trump cult of personality. They seem to like and him. Yes absolutely i. I think a lot of people mistakenly believe that weight evanger locals were holding their nose to vote for donald trump that they viewed it as a transactional relationship or vote of expedients to get their issues on the agenda but that is not true. They viewed trump as almost a messianic figure They compared him to king cyrus in the bible they compared him to. They said that god often chooses an unlikely figure to lead a nation at a critical juncture in its history so donald trump may not be a christian like us but he's chosen by god to restore a christian america that has been lost to secularism but buddies. All quite mad isn't it. It absolutely is. But i think that you if you look at it at face value. It seems mad. But if you dig beneath the surface and realize that their agenda has been an anti-democratic project from the start on the religious right got motivated in the nineteen seventies nod about abortion but about school desegregation They've been avid fox. News watchers since the advent of fox. News they swallow all of the fox. News Anti immigrant rhetoric.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he is prepared to risk tension with the US if that's what it takes to neutralize Iran's nuclear capabilities, and this comes as he is on a little bit of shaky ground politically as well. ABC News correspondent Georgiana Miller is with us again this morning from Jerusalem. Giordano, What is all this stand for Benjamin Netanyahu. Well, that may be a Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's last remark on Iran as prime minister. We are looking at and believe that his opponents in the hours ahead will announce the formation of a unity government. Parties from right and left coming together. Opponents of the 10 yells from right and left coming together to replace him. The deadline is midnight local time. So still about eight hours left here. We hear from sources that there are only just a few more gaps to close before all the parties agree. Um, this will essentially put an end to Netanyahu's 12 years in power. If this government forms will be moved, forced, pushed really into the opposition on the real question is how long he can survive there in the opposition. It's this new government will pass certain laws that would prevent him from ever meeting Israel against such a term limits or No candidate can run if they're under criminal indictment, and of course, that Danielle was on trial for corruption and that corruption trial in the end really was his undoing. What do we know about who will replace him? It's really interesting. His replacement is going to be Neftali Bennett. If this government comes together, he's young. He's only 49 years old. He's the son of Americans. His English is perfect like Netanyahu's. I don't think anyone would say that he is as charismatic as Netanyahu or at this stage of politically savvy, but his small party, which didn't win that many seats in the last election. He nonetheless will be the prime minister because he holds the deciding vote on the larger party, led by centrists has essentially conceded the post of prime minister to him. Get him on board for this government. He is perhaps even more openly right wing than Netanyahu. He staunchly opposes the formation or the existence of establishment of a Palestinian state. He rejects a two state solution. He's in favor of annexation of Western Jewish settlements. Here's a staunch nationalist. And it may be that the positions hey, will moderate them once he's in office, But that's that is his record so far. Gordana.

It's going on and I just plain can't believe it. You know what? Hamas doesn't make a move toward Israel. If Donald Trump is president, you know why? Because, you know, in my opinion, you need crazy in the White House. You know, he's a little crazy in the White House on my right and wrong. You need tol you need you need those wackos that around the world whether they're in communist China, whether they're in the Middle East. You need them to go with this guy. You know what, you be careful. Good. This guy's not. You need to say that, I think because that's what you know. Look at the heroes of American like George Patton. You know these aggressive guys that really works so hard. The General's well, that's what we had in the last administration. And I know you. Oh, my gosh, that you're going to disagree, but after all of that, after everybody saying Oh, you're a trump guy. Oh, yeah. That's how you voted for Trump. And you and I go like this. Yes, we did. We absolutely did. And excuse me. Who did you vote for? And what's happening now? Oh, man, Are you kidding me? They There's no argument, but somebody said to me yesterday. You can't argue with the folks who voted for by they don't understand it always doing all right. On die Then I said, I gotta do this conversation the other day. I said Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Joe Pesci, completely lethal weapon. Okay, Okay. Okay. So what did he OK, but, OK, What did he do like that? What did you do? Okay. What did he do? What did you do? Well, you know, Yeah, He's helping the small businesses. Yeah. With what? With the stimulus package. You mean like the three stimulus packages that Donald Trump handed out? All right. Was diminution and mean like that. Yeah, well, well, I'd probably mishandled the virus. Okay, but who came up with the vaccine? If we don't have a vaccine, and this is not a pro trump speech, I don't get invited to Mira Lago. I'm not down there people would be on the show of down Mayor Lago for 10 Times. The path of that may. Now I am the beauty of this is I'm on the outside looking in, you know, but I know I just do what's right for the country. And as importantly, if not more so for my Children, you know? And I really do try to do what's right anyway and try to get on the right path. And when I see whether I see what's happening now, it's when when I see all these things with Israel, with Joe Biden saying in a White House press release. You know, you have to show restraint to Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday. Yes, He did that. This that this White House, Susan Rice, Ron claiming and everybody else who was running the whole White House. No, that ain't Joe. You know that. But they put out a press release that said for Benjamin Netanyahu to show restraint against Hamas. This is not against the Palestinian people. This is against Hamas. Thies air, the warmongers that not only just want all Jewish people to not be around anymore. They want the annihilation destruction and they want Israel to end and there is no there's no, uh, negotiation with that. And yet, Joe Biden, Mr Israel we Chuck Schumer. Where's Where's Where's Chuck Schumer? That they Why are they so afraid of receded to leave? Why are you afraid of me? This is one of the most on I have to watch my work because I don't want to. The but she did leave. Think about it. Just just as a person just as a zoo. A I. I got to watch what I say, because it's gonna sound sexist. I don't mean to sound sexist. I don't mean to sound but not a nice person. And I'm being kind You've you pick your own word because I don't want to sound sexist to say the wrong thing. This is one of the least most look at least likable person in the world, in my opinion is what she did to me when you come when you're you know, and we understand you care for the Palestinian people. Everybody does. This has nothing to do with the Palestinian people. It's like black lives matter has nothing to do with black lives. You just look at the stats, and I'm not just saying anything to be inflammatory. It's like goodness gracious, help out the Palestinian people. Let's talk about who was doing that. Again. Excuse me. I have to go back. The last administration and with those Abraham accords were would nothing short of Nobel Prize worthy And where was nothing short of genius. Because because what Jared Kushner did with President Trump, they gathered all the Arab nations together, and now you're pressuring those warmongers and Hamas to come to the table. Now, What does Joe Biden do? Stay with me on this. I'm trying to have a clear thought of as we break this down on why What's happening is happening is when Joe Biden and he wants to negotiate when it's not, And it's not buying what's wrong claiming and it's Susan Rice. When they want to get they want to negotiate with a red. I have no idea why they want to negotiate with Iran. I have no idea why they want to give money to Iran, where they gave billions of dollars to him and I have no idea. All it does. Is it emboldens Iran give money to to Hamas and what is the most want the destruction of Israel and all the Jewish people in the world. And here we are. Here we are. And yet yet BB BB show restraint. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Why isn't the press What happened?.
