Editor’s note: Below are the video and transcript of remarks from a powerhouse panel at the David Horowitz Freedom Center’s 2023 Restoration Weekend. The event was held Oct. 26-29 at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans..

Transcript:

Kenneth Timmerman:

Thank you. Well, thank you very much for having me. I want to thank David Horowitz also for this for hosting these events. Christina, my wife, and I have been here a number of times over the years, and it’s always a wonderful get-together– a pleasure to see old faces, and old friends and meet new people. I want to run through just a couple of things for you in the beginning before we open up for questions. Remember the day that Donald Trump left office? Russia, China, North Korea were all in the box. ISIS had been defeated. Iran was not killing Americans. They had been deterred through maximum sanctions and the justified assassination of top terrorist Qassem Soleimani. And by the way, many Trump advisers were telling him not to do that. They were terrified that the Iranians were going to retaliate in some horrible World war horrible way. We would be at a world war with Iran, the Islamic regime and a number of us said, no, no, no. If you hit the Iranians hard, very hard, they will not respond. Remember what Ronald Reagan did in April of 1988, Operation Praying Mantis. Now, the Iranians had been harassing oil tankers in the Persian Gulf, and in one day, one 24-hour period, the U.S. Navy sank one third of the Iranian navy.

And we didn’t hear from them again for quite some time. Also, when Trump left office, the Europeans had stepped up to the plate and began to increase their contributions to NATO. Remember that was a big deal and the left-wing media was accusing Trump of being an isolationist, anti-NATO, anti-European, when in fact what he did was he got the Germans in particular, but the French as well and others to increase their contributions to NATO as part of the collective defense. Israel, when Trump left office had signed peace agreements with four Arab and Muslim countries. The US Embassy had been moved. Trump moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. Also, gasoline was at 1.87 a gallon. That was the day Trump left office. The next day, the very first day of the Biden administration, Joe Biden signed a series of executive orders. He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. He shut down drilling in Alaska. He shut down drilling on federal lands, and new permits. He backed away from the Abraham Accords, those peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors. He alienated Mohammed bin Salman, who was eager to get closer to Israel and perhaps become the fifth country to join the Abraham Accords. Biden alienated him. And ultimately, when gasoline went up, when oil prices went up, he had to go there banging his tin, his tin cup to Riyadh. Biden also right at the beginning, stopped enforcing those sanctions on Iran and allowed the Iranians to escape this noose that had been around their neck under Trump, where we had reduced their oil exports to 400,000 barrels a day. Within a year, they were up over a million. This past year, they have exported 1.6 million barrels a day to China alone. So Iran was in the box as well. I used to say that under Obama it was better to be a Mullah in Tehran than a Jew in his capital, Jerusalem. But now, I think under Biden, I’ve got to change that a little bit: it’s better to be a mullah in Tehran, a communist in China or Venezuela than an American. Joe Biden has put into practice un-American policies. He is an un-American president. I listened to Jack Keane the other night, and it seemed to me the one big thing that he missed. He gave a brilliant overview of the threats that we’re facing and the weaknesses we have now in our military and elsewhere. But he forgot one thing.

We have had two un-American presidents in recent history. Barack Obama promised that he would transform America, fundamentally transform America. He did. He started that process and Biden realized that he’s not going to have that many years and he has accelerated it on steroids. Remember when Obama came in, that apology tour that he went on around the world? That’s how it began, apologizing for America around the world. He gave a speech which really everybody should recall here in April of 2009 in Cairo, and sitting behind him were the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. Right behind him, you could see every camera caught the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood sitting right behind them. They were outlaws at that time in Egypt. At the University of Cairo, Obama invited the heads of the outlawed heads of the Muslim Brotherhood and did not invite President Mubarak, who was not there. And within a year and a half, Mubarak was out, the Arab Spring had begun, our security arrangements in the Middle East went to hell in a handbasket. And by September of 2012, you had the attack on our consular facility in Benghazi and the U.S. did nothing.

So this has been going on. You had two terms of Obama and now the first term of Biden. And they have been deconstructing American security hand over fist. Now, we’ve all been following, obviously, what’s happened in Gaza. And you know, I can recall– I’ve been in those tunnels, not that not in Gaza, but I was actually first in the tunnels in Beirut after the 1982 war. I told that story and in my book, which is kind of how I became a hostage, an arms dealer and an Israeli spy. True story, all of them true stories. I think some people have commented on my fictions that they read like newspaper stories and my nonfiction books read like novels. So you can make up your mind. But I’ve seen those tunnels. And in Beirut, this was the PLO before Hamas. In Beirut, they were big enough that they could drive Katyusha rocket launchers into the tunnels after they had fired. So they fired Israel back up the rocket launchers into the tunnels so the Israelis couldn’t find them. So you wonder why Hamas still has that capability of firing rockets at Israel. That’s why it has tunnels that are big enough for to put all those rocket launchers in. Add to all of these structural problems, of these policy problems that you have with President Biden. You have the corruption problem. You have the corruption problem. Biden has been visibly bribed by our adversaries, starting with communist China. He’s taken money from the Ukrainians. He’s taken money from Russian oligarchs. We don’t know what they have, what promises they got from him in exchange, but clearly he is compromised. People have asked me, are we getting towards World War III? And if you look now, war in Ukraine, war in Gaza. Soon we could have war in the Far East with China. I would say we are very, very close to that point. We are at a very dangerous moment in our history and we have an extremely weak president who hates America. Thank you.

Frank Gaffney:

Well, I do this with some trepidation, but I’d like to correct my friend Ken Timmerman. We’re IN World War III, folks. It has begun. I think the opening salvo was Ukraine. I think the next is the Middle East, of course, how broadly we’ll see. But as I said yesterday, the engine behind it is the Chinese Communist Party. And this is the subject of the book that I mentioned. We’ll be signing it outside afterwards. But what we tried to do with this book is to synthesize the most important insights that we’ve received for some   time– 75 different webinars that we’ve conducted under the banner of our Committee on the Present Danger of China, aimed at laying out the fact that the Chinese Communist Party has been at war with this country for decades, specifically, as they have called it. It is an unrestrained open warfare that they’ve waged. But the purpose of it, like everything else in the war business, is destruction, specifically the destruction of the United States, because we are, after all, the only real impediment to the realization of the Chinese Communist Party’s long-standing ambition, which is to be the world’s hegemonic. And they pursued that relentlessly through all manner of means. And so what we call the indictment, which starts actually with their crimes against their own people, crimes against humanity on an epic scale, by some estimates, they’ve killed 100 million of predominantly their own people, some Uighurs, some Tibetans, some Southern Mongolians. Yes, but it’s mostly Han Chinese; and that does not count the 400 million they boast of killing–as our previous guest from North Korea mentioned–in the womb.

And I want you just to take this thought aboard any country that treats its own people that badly will not treat ours better. In fact, what they have been doing in these unrestricted warfare techniques is what one might expect, what is not so much a political party as it is a transnational criminal organization, and that is war crimes, war crimes that include things like the economic takedown of America’s industrial base, things like turning us against one another through the kinds of Marxist techniques that we’ve been talking about throughout the past two days, whether it’s in our universities, whether it’s in our businesses, ESG, whether it’s in our government now. Now, again, our friend from North Korea mentioned the diversity officer that she heard from. They’re throughout the government, what amounts to political commissars enforcing the critical race theory—DEI agenda. Not least, there was that recent unpleasantness, as Simone talked about last night, of a biological warfare attack against our country with all the damage that that did. Yes, to people, to lives, to businesses to our society, to our freedoms. And that, of course, is just a precursor for what is probably yet to come. Having done a proof of concept as to how deadly that could be, even if it wasn’t that deadly, a disease, I mentioned yesterday on our panel that one of the most effective of the techniques has been the capture of our elites, not just the political elites like Joe Biden. And by the way, for the purposes of calibration, I don’t think I mentioned this yesterday, but one of our colleagues of the Committee on the Present Danger– China is a fabulous guy. You’ve seen him probably on a forum and perhaps elsewhere. Sam Faddis, spent 20 years of his life recruiting and running assets for the Central Intelligence Agency and some of the real garden spots of the world. He knows a thing or two about the business, and he says that in the lexicon of the trade, the President of the United States is a, quote, controlled asset of the Chinese Communist Party, unquote. So elite capture is a big problem. I mentioned yesterday, I think it’s not just in the political elite, it is in the business elite as media. Joe was talking about that. It is in Hollywood. David Horowitz cut his teeth on that problem–Academia. And yes, not least it’s in the United States military. In fact, one of the crimes we charge the CCP with is taking down our military. And you heard Heather talking about this a moment ago. Critical race theory is devastating to any organization, but particularly one that has to be based on merit. You start promoting people on the basis of the color of their skin or some other diversity condition, you destroy the organization. There’s no unit cohesion, there’s no confidence in leadership. There’s no willingness to sacrifice for the guy next to you because he may be an oppressor or a victim who hates you. This is Marxism, folks. This is cultural Marxism.

It has marched through all of our institutions. It is about advancing the cause of the Chinese Communist Party to destroy this country. And our president and many of his subordinates have, as I said to you yesterday, promulgated and implemented policies that have two things in common. One, they are all bad for us. And two, they are all good for these guys.

I think it’s without exception, as Ken said, starting on day one. So I want to leave you with this thought: we have 20 specific steps that we think can make a difference in the trajectory of what this collective– Robert Spencer was talking about–the collective this some of my friends who are more familiar with Star Trek history than I say; This is the Borg, right? You remember the line about the Borg Resistance is futile. That’s what they would like us to believe. Well, we have no choice but to engage in resistance of every kind. We’ve got. Again, 20 different suggestions, starting with getting people who are captured elites out of positions to govern this country or otherwise exercise power over us. I commend it to you, if only because–well you were obviously high up the learning curve on all of these issues–people you love aren’t, people you work with aren’t, people who will be voting hopefully usefully next year aren’t. And we must get them equipped to help do a course correction for this country or it is certainly lost. And I’ll leave you just one last thought. The single most important thing we know we must do is to is invoke God’s grace, because with his help, we’ll get through it. And without it, we’re toast.

Scott Powell:

It’s hard to follow that one, but I’m a great admirer of Frank’s work. My topic is going to be a little different tonight, and there’s some bad news to cover and probably some new information. But then there’s really good optimistic news at the end. Now that we all know that: the COVID 19 pandemic was not actually a pandemic of the unvaccinated, we know that the southern border is anything but secure, we know that the Inflation Reduction Act has been anything other than a program that’s raised prices and caused inflation; and we know that January 6th was hardly an insurrection. In fact, November 3rd was–I’ll call it a coup. Insurrection usually involves arms and that wasn’t present. But it’s really troubling that our federal government is operating almost entirely on false narratives. You know, you can’t get successful policies if the input at the base of all the discussion and all the policymaking is based on false narratives. And it’s not just the Democrats. Republicans are also giving credence to some of these false narratives. What I want to talk about today is energy security. And when it comes to energy security, we cannot afford to base policies on false narratives. The current energy policy that we have is all about the Green New Deal, and that is the Green New Deal is to replace fossil fuels and I don’t like to use that term fossil fuels because science is discovering that these are probably not oil. Gas probably did not come from the decomposition of organic matter, but has actually come from the earth, the creation itself. So we’re going to call it hydrocarbons. And the idea is to replace all the hydrocarbons with wind and solar. And they call this the goal by 2050, net zero CO2—the end of reducing CO2. Now, this is not just unrealistic and foolish, but it is it’s disruptive and harmful to the environment. We probably don’t have time to talk about what it does to the environment, but it’s economically unachievable. In fact, it will lead to our economic ruin. And it will lead to mass death, and it certainly would cripple our military. So let’s do a little primer on energy. Okay. There are many sources of energy, but there’s two basic types. There is energy on demand, and there’s something called stored energy. Energy on demand is what we’re all pretty familiar with. It’s gas in the tank diesel. It’s natural gas in electric power generation, it’s uranium. In other words, the fuel can you can turn it on and go. Stored energy is what the Green New Deal is all about. It is energy that is stored because the wind doesn’t always blow, the sun doesn’t always shine. And so in order to build out the system to power the country, you have to have stored energy.

So let me let me ask you a question. Just because the issue is all back to CO2, is that net zero CO2. Can anyone tell me that among the three main elements of the atmosphere–and that would be oxygen, CO2 and nitrogen– what are the percentages of our atmospheres? Does anybody know? It’s actually a 4/100 of 1% is CO2. Now the other part of CO2 is understanding what’s the mixture, how much comes from nature and how much does man. Because the argument is that if we reduce what we contribute to CO2, that we can somehow stabilize the climate. You know, they used to talk about global warming, but the temperature was not actually getting warmer. And so they decided to change tax. So let’s talk a little bit about the history. Prior to 1850, Niger produced about 98% of all CO2 and man’s contribution was about 2%. That’s somewhat pre-industrial revolution. But since 1850, what’s happened? We have a seven-fold increase in global population. Seven times more people live on the earth today than in 1850. And we’ve been through an industrial revolution. How has that changed the contribution of what man does to build up CO2? Well, the numbers changed a little bit. We have probably 3 to 4% contribution by man to the CO2 in the atmosphere and the other 96, 97% comes from natural sources, the biggest one being the ocean itself. Now, in terms of parts per million, total CO2 makes up about 417 parts per million. And that’s that, you know, one for hundreds of 1%. So if you if you think that man and what man contributes is about 17 or 18 parts per million, if you think we could just reduce our 17 or 18 parts to zero, then the atmosphere would have about 400 parts per million CO2. Now, if you think that small change from 417 to 400 is going to change climate change, I think I think it’s fair to say you’d be a certifiable lunatic or a liar. It’s just not going to make the difference. Now, the history of temperature of CO2, today’s levels of CO2 are now close to the lowest that they’ve been in the history of the Earth.

Did you hear that CO2 is at closer to the lowest levels in history. Increasing CO2 levels does result in higher temperatures, that’s true, but the correlation is not absolute. For instance, as we pointed out, there’s more CO2 now in the last 75 years, post-World War II, but temperature has not gone up. So this correlation is not absolute. Now, the economics of achieving this net zero CO2, this is kind of a key area, because solar and wind are intermittent power. The sun doesn’t always shine. The wind doesn’t always blow. You really need to scale up the infrastructure and the storage of energy, and you really need a 30 day storage. That’s what the experts say. You’ve got to have about 30 days of stored energy that you would build up during the times when the sun’s out and the wind’s blowing. So what does it cost to get there? This is a number of very few economists look, but those that have put the numbers at an astronomical level. I think the work of Ken Gregory, who is a climate/energy engineer in Canada, he’s calculated in his early days that it was about $300 Trillion dollars. Now, he estimates that to get a system that would really sustain energy based on wind and solar, we would have to spend $433 trillion in one year. 433 trillion! So that’s just unrealistic. And even if you were to go half and half, it’s still a price we could literally never afford. So I’ve saved the best news for last. And in terms of hydrocarbons, not the fossil fuel, the hydrocarbons, the United States has the largest proven and presently accessible oil reserves and natural gas reserves by far of any country in the world.  In oil, it’s estimated at about 300 billion barrels more than Saudi Arabia and more than Russia. But perhaps more importantly because the future will be able to break through in other areas and be able to draw more out through technology.

The US has the largest known deposits of oil shale in the world, and according to the Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. has at least 2.175 trillion barrels of potentially recoverable oil. This is all in the United States under our territory. And so who benefits if we don’t benefit from the Green New Deal?

Well, it it turns out that the Chinese are the chief beneficiaries of the Green New Deal because they supply 75% of all the in the parts, the production, the manufacturing of solar panels. And the Chinese controls 77% of the lithium battery market. They literally control the supply of cobalt, which is a necessity. And they control about 75% of the lithium. So no one has really said, well, we’re being led down this path because the Chinese know that if they can get us far enough down this path, then, we’ll ruin our energy economy and they won’t even need to fire a shot and they can just take us over. So I think I’m out of time and I’ll leave it there.

Tommy Waller

So just before I start, a little bit more good news to add to Scott’s. We also have 93,000 metric tonnes of slightly used nuclear fuel, which if recycled in fast reactors, would provide electricity, clean and carbon-free for the country for 150 to 250 years. This is something I’ve already briefed the Secretary of Energy twice about and she refuses to act on it. But we’re working it at the state level. That’s another subject. What I was asked to talk about was the military and the credit to Congressman Louie Gohmert.

When I walked in the back and we started to talk and I showed him the picture of my family the last day I was in uniform, he asked: What was your pronoun? I said, Killer, right? Killer. And what I mean, in all seriousness, don’t we want Marines to be killers? And so how did we go from killers to what Scott just said, which is liars and lunatics? Well, I’ll just tell you that, as Scott mentioned about, you know, the military’s worried about CO2 right now. The only people the military should be worried about are submariners and combat divers. And that’s it. Nobody else. And what Ken Timmerman talked about, thank you again for talking about what Obama said in the 2008-2009 time frame. I remember watching his speech having just returned from my third combat deployment where he said there was no such thing as al Qaeda in Iraq, and yet I lost a third of my platoon killed in action, and a half were wounded. One of which, his parents–he was the only child–gave me a copy of this US Constitution and said, never forget what he died for and I never will. But what I watched was a U.S. senator lying to the American people and apologizing for our behavior in those countries where I remember raiding a Taliban stronghold. After we took him prisoner, I gave him the blankets that we had so they wouldn’t freeze while I was wrapped up in a VS17 air panel, not the pink side out, but the orange side out with another Marine to stay warm. Right. And here he is apologizing for us.

So you fast forward the clock to September 11th, 2012, where I was south of Libya. And remember what happened there right. And as we mobilize to get ready to go help and we were told to stand down, what I remember is being lied to again when I flew back to Sigonella, Sicily, and I was given a classified briefing saying that it was a video. So the result of a video, if you remember the false narrative spun about the well-planned assault in Benghazi. So these were lies that I began to witness in uniform in my service. But let me just talk about my time as a commander briefly. Fast forward from September 11, 2012, to September 11, 2020. I’m at a senior leader legal course. It’s virtual, of course, because we’re so scared of COVID that at the time these lawyers are trying to help commanders figure out how to allow their service members to participate in the protests happening around the country. If you remember the Summer of Love 2020, and I asked a couple of questions, one of which was: should there be some level of professional competence by which military officers ought to be judged? And if they can’t meet that level of competence, could they be removed from the service? Right. If you’re a doctor and you hurt somebody through malpractice, you can you can lose your license. If you’re a lawyer, you can be disbarred. What is there for the U.S. military to ask that question? Because they said, it’s 19 years ago today that we were struck by airplanes on September 11th, and yet we have willfully refused to study the doctrine of Sharia. That’s right. So where is our professional competence? And by the way, these protests that you’re talking about, allowing our service members to participate in, let me just send you some links real quick. Here’s a link to the Constitution for the new Socialist Republic of North America, authored by a gentleman named–he’s not a gentleman–authored by a communist. He name is Bob Avakian of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA. 11 years ago, a constitution meant to supplant ours. And here’s a link to Bob Avakian participating in supporting all of these protests of our current president. So how is it that you have any professional competence to be suggesting that our service members participate in this? Of course I have no answer. Fast forward the clock, I’m in command. We know what happened on January 6 of 2021. In the spring of 2021, we were given a mandate for extremism in the ranks stand down. You may remember that right? Hundreds of man hours were spent. This was the top priority of the US military. And what I noticed is that the training material was void of six examples where members of the US Army either murdered their fellow service members. We remember Fort Hood, a major Nidal Hasan, or they planned to do so, and thankfully were caught ahead of time. Not a single mention of a jihadi in uniform for the extremism in the ranks stand down. We go back to professional competence. You fast forward to the summer of 2021, the weekend of July 4th. I asked my employer–thank God that I work for the Center for Security Policy– for my civilian job and was serving in the reserves.

I was in command of the Marine Corps’ only independent force recon company in the Reserves. And so I’ve got a lot of stud killers, as we might call them, if that’s their pronoun, who we’re very concerned about this vaccine. And I asked Frank and the rest of the team: Hey, can you guys cover for me this week before July 4th? I need to take some time and I need to study this thing. And I did with the type of unconstrained analysis that I’ve been blessed to be told to do by Frank for so many years. And I discovered some really worrisome things, both medically and legally. And I did everything I could to bring that up to the chain of command. And I was warned. I was warned by the one colonel above me who cared about me. He said, Tommy, this is political and you better tread careful because you’re going to be crushed like an ant. And so we fast forward the clock into late August. Afghanistan is collapsing. I’m supposed to be going to the range with my Marines, and we were going to shoot and we were also going to do a bit of a spiritual restoration time and in the field. And I had a guy, an American hero who you may know. You may have heard him, Chad Robichaux, Mighty Oaks Foundation. He is a buddy of mine who served in the same unit a few years ahead. I was going to have Chad come out and after we got off the range, have a good heart to heart; to talk with the Marines about spiritual warfare. We’re on a conference call with all the generals, and all they’re talking about is the vaccine numbers. Nothing about Afghanistan. I’m like, I got to just say Afghanistan in this conference call at one point.  So, I just bring up the point: hey, generals, we’re not going to be able to do our spiritual restoration training this drill, because the guy that was going to give it to us is in Afghanistan. I get a phone call right after : “you’ve got a guy in Afghanistan?” No , it’s Chad Robichaud, he used to be a guy in our unit. He’s in Afghanistan. “Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh.” Okay. Well, then Chad calls and he needs one of our guys, one of my top snipers and recon men.

I didn’t even ask permission. I said go and the mission they did brought back 17,000 vetted allies, widows and orphans. And the single biggest obstacle they had was the U.S. government. And when the general found out that I had a marine in Afghanistan, I got a phone call. Nobody was worried about if he got snatched up, which he almost did. And his parents are on Tucker Carlson, they’re going to ask why was he there? That’s what the general cared about. That’s what he cared about. Fast forward, October 23rd, just a couple of days ago. 2021 was my change of command. I was very fortunate because I took a stand on the vaccine mandate and I made it very clear to those above me that what they were asking me to do was to violate the law. We’ve got to think about this. This was a well-planned operation. First it was data harvesting, right? Think about it. Governments and corporations around the country said there will be a process. Tell us your strongly held religious beliefs. And we did. Right. And once they got that data, then the purge began. And it was a very well-orchestrated purge in the military. What they did was they created the conditions by which I would have had to violate U.S. law to compel my service members to take it. So regardless of how you feel about the vaccine itself, it would be to violate law for me to force them to do it. And I tried to bring that up and I was ignored. I was warned. I was also blessed because I wasn’t court martialed. I wasn’t disciplined. They just waited until I got out the way. And so I changed command. I was already scheduled to change command. I passed that, got on to the next commander, and that was a picture I showed the congressman earlier of my family the last time I wore the uniform; and three hours later the Marine Corps passed the guidance that any unvaccinated commander would be immediately relieved for cause because I was out of the way. And so for a year, I tried to continue to serve. I tried to join units I wouldn’t.  I had to drop to the individual ready reserve. We lost our health benefits. When it was time to get a new ID card, I tried to go right here to this city, the reserve headquarters of the United States Marine Corps, to get a new ID.

I brought my whole family in their Sunday’s best. I had intended to bring them to see the memorial for our fallen Marines, and we were barred access to the facility. I was told it was COVID protocol. I looked at my wife with tears in her eyes. A woman who’s got the toughest job in the Corps not allowed on base. So they’re serious about purging the force from the very top. Now, that doesn’t mean that all the generals are terrible. Most of them are right now, and all the service members are terrible. They’re still good patriots that need our support. And that’s exactly what we’re doing right now. The good news is this. Just this past week, I met with an attorney who’s agreed to take on the cases of wrongful separation over the mandate. And she is a powerhouse. So this is an attorney that literally changed–you can’t sue the government right, until until she came along where a service member had been maltreated, medically maltreated. And she won a case that now has set a precedent. So service members that have been maltreated by the government can sue the government. And so she’s about to take this one on.

And then the other thing is I’ll just mention that we’re also taking on threats locally. I went to Tulane University right down the road. Do we know what happened there on Thursday?  If you don’t, there was a riot, essentially pro-Palestinian Hamas, organized by the Muslim Student Association. Anybody who knows about the Muslim Brotherhood knows was the very first in 1963, a Muslim Brotherhood front organization. That was Thursday, yesterday morning, about 6 a.m.. I get a call from my sister in law in tears. She lives about 15 minutes from here. I’m in Washington. Why did she called me this early? She’s in tears because the SWAT team just left her house because she was swatted because her two sons are Jewish. She’s a Tulane alma mater. Whatever they posted online must have caused them to get SWAT. We don’t know. It’s still being investigated. Here’s the good news. Over the last few years, legislation that we helped write in the state of Louisiana made it a predicate crime for RICO to have any sort of material support for terrorism. What does that mean? That means it allows lawyers to get both attorney’s fees and treble damages if they can find that somebody materially supported terrorism. What’s the Muslim Student Association doing at Tulane? Starting riots. Right. Okay. And what we’re going to do next, and this is the last thing I’ll say is we’re going to get the Louisiana legislature, God willing, is to amend that law that we’ve already passed to add as another predicate commission of assault and battery during riots organized by such organizations. So that the things we saw on Thursday can become something that we can actually pursue directly right here in this state.

Thank you.

Biden Support Continues to Crater Among Gen Z and Millenials

Young voters are abandoning Joe Biden in worrying numbers for the Democrats, especially when it comes to supporting Israel. The most recent NBC poll found 70% of 18-24-year-old voters disapprove of Biden's handling of the war.

The Israel-Hamas war is beginning to be a drag on Biden's re-election chances. What he can do to reverse the decline is a subject of intense debate in the Biden camp.

Some "experts," according to the Washington Post, say that the younger voters are turned off to the "far-right politics" of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In fact, the explanation is far simpler; a lack of skepticism about news coming from Gaza and the inability of Gen-Zers to differentiate between news and propaganda.

“After what’s happening right now in the Middle East, it’s a very difficult decision for people from my background who we’re going to be voting for,” said Humza Irfan, who is Pakistani American and said a relative was killed last month in an apparent Israeli strike.

Gen Z and millennial voters are expected to make up nearly 40 percent of the electorate in 2024 and have already flexed their influence on elections. They helped flip the Wisconsin Supreme Court earlier this year to a liberal majority, and they boosted turnout on college campuses in Pennsylvania and Virginia in this month’s elections. Polling showed young voters were highly motivated by issues such as abortion, in which there is a clear contrast between the stances of Biden and Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination.

But a diminished turnout among young voters could complicate Biden’s reelection bid, especially in key battleground states such as Michigan. Biden flipped the state in 2020, and network exit polls found 61 percent of Michigan voters ages 18 to 29 supported his campaign.

“We all have TikTok, we all have Instagram. And it’s honestly like we’ve begun to form these parasocial relationships with the people in Palestine,” 19-year-old Marie Willy said, citing posts by a creator named Bisan Owda who shares videos from inside Gaza.

Taking the word of an anonymous internet poster as "news" is bat guano crazy and the fact that the girl doesn't realize that is troubling.

It should be noted that very few of the pro-Palestinian kids were ever going to vote for Trump. But not voting, or voting for a third candidate is almost as good.

Earlier in November, several leaders of national youth organizing groups wrote a letter to Biden telling him bluntly of the consequences of not changing course on the war.

“You and your Administration’s stance on Gaza risks millions of young voters staying home or voting third party next year,” the letter read, adding that it “will not be possible for those committed to turning out the youth vote this election to recruit the volunteers, organizers, staff, and donors needed to deliver the margins for Democratic victory down the ballot.”

What will all these threats to stay home or vote for someone else lead to?

Members of College Democrats at the University of Michigan, some of the president’s top defenders on campus, said they believe at the end of the day that their peers will turn out for Biden, especially when confronted with Trump as the alternative — even as some acknowledged that the president could improve his messaging around the war.

“I understand some folks’ frustration, especially of recent in light of the Israel-Palestine conflict … it’s a deeply emotional thing, deeply personal,” said Jade Gray, the co-president of the group. “And I do think that the steps that he’s taken are along the path to a cease-fire, and I know that that’s what folks are looking for next.”

Most of these college Democrats will hold their noses and vote for Biden  that is, "most" of them. In a close election, as this one is bound to be, even a 5% drop-off in support from 2020 to 2024 could cost Biden several states.

Biden will probably not call for a cease-fire. But the pressure he's under is growing and anything is possible in an election year.

Biden regime threatens Israel: may not support further defensive actions in Gaza

Notice that the Biden regime doesn’t say anything to Hamas about its use of civilians as human shields and its intentional actions to put civilians in harm’s way so that it can use civilian casualties for propaganda purposes. The criminal regime in Washington is doing all it can to keep Hamas alive.

“Biden Admin warns it might not support next phase of Israel’s war,” JNS, November 22, 2023 (thanks to the Geller Report):

Israel must have a plan to protect the civilians in southern Gaza before proceeding with the war, says U.S.National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby.

The White House says it won’t support Israel’s plan to expand its operations into the south of the Gaza Strip unless it shows it will protect the Palestinian civilians there.

In a Tuesday press call, US National Security Council Spokesman John Kirby said the United States won’t support Israel “moving forward with operations in the south absent a clearly articulated plan for how they’re going to protect the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people” there.

“There’s an obligation for them to factor that into their planning,” Kirby said.

The NSC spokesman noted that the population in the south of the terror-run enclave has swelled as Israel ordered the northern population to flee southwards. It’s “even more incumbent” on Israel to “protect those civilians who moved at their urging,” said Kirby….

Tulsi Gabbard calls out Biden and Harris for their absence at the largest-ever pro-Israel rally in DC

Speaker Johnson's Remarks at 'March for Israel' Rally in Washington DC

The largest pro-Israel rally in American history was attended by an estimated 300,000 people, but Tulsi Gabbard pointed out that “there was a very loud absence”: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris did not attend. Despite the fact that people attended from all over the country, these two who were “literally just down the street,” said Gabbard, failed to show up, despite their professed support for Israel, and heedless of the fact that antisemitism, including violent attacks on Jews, has soared since October 7.

Also, Hamas isn’t a deadly threat to Israel; Hamas and its jihadi allies are a global threat. Hamas is a Muslim Brotherhood offshoot with affiliates in operation throughout America and the West; they fuel pro-Palestinian rallies, which are gaining traction globally.

“Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard calls out Biden and Harris for not attending March for Israel rally in DC,” by Eden Villalovas, Washington Examiner, November 14, 2023:

Former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard called out President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris for not joining supporters of Israel who gathered on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to rally against antisemitism.

“There’s a very loud absence, though, in knowing that President Biden and Vice President Harris are literally just down the street as people are traveling here from all over the country,” Gabbard said on Fox News before attending the rally herself.

Biden and Harris will arrive in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and are scheduled to participate in a campaign reception in the evening.

“Yet they don’t feel it’s important enough to come and stand with our Americans to send this strong resounding message at a time when antisemitic attacks around the world are at their height, that we will not allow it to continue that we stand with Israel and the Jewish people,” Gabbard added.

Gabbard, a former 2020 presidential candidate, and a U.S. Army Reserve officer, said Hamas’s goal is “not really about the territory between Israel and Gaza or Palestine” but to establish a “global Islamist caliphate and destroy anyone who doesn’t adhere to their radical interpretation of Islam including Muslims, Christians, Hindus, and others.”…

Biden regime doles out taxpayer money to mosques that pray for the annihilation of the Jews

No surprise here. In the past, there might have been some perfunctory attempt to ensure that the recipients of this cash were “moderate,” but now any such inquiry would be “Islamophobic.”

“These Mosques Pray for the Annihilation of Jews. They Also Receive Money From the Biden Administration.,” by Chuck Ross, Washington Free Beacon, November 13, 2023:

A federal program to help nonprofit groups protect against terrorist attacks has given millions of dollars to mosques and Islamic groups that have praised terrorists and called for the destruction of Israel, according to a Washington Free Beacon review.

The Department of Homeland Security awarded the California-based Masjid al-Ansar mosque $100,000 on March 9 under the Nonprofit Security Grants Program. Moustafa Kamel, the imam at Masjid al-Ansar, earlier this year called Jews a “bigoted and arrogant breed of people” and prayed they “will be annihilated” in a war over the Holy Land, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.

Then there is the Islamic Center of Detroit, which received $150,000 on Oct. 12, 2022. Its head imam, Imran Salha, said at a pro-Palestinian rally days after Hamas’s invasion of Israel that Muslims have a “fire in our hearts that will burn that state until its demise.” During a sermon in March, he referred to the “sick, disgusting Zionist regime” and prayed: “May Allah eradicate them from existence.”

The rhetoric could fuel the sorts of hate and terrorist attacks that the Homeland Security grants aim to prevent. Anti-Semitic hate crimes have surged 400 percent since Hamas’s attack, in which 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered. A bipartisan group of senators called for additional funding under the program last month to protect against “a potential rise in anti-Semitic threats.”

There is little oversight over which organizations receive funding under the program, which is administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and state agencies. A majority of the grants have gone to synagogues, churches, mosques, and temples that do not support violence or promote terrorist organizations.

But there are also grants to outfits like the Islamic Center of San Diego, a mosque best known as the home to two 9/11 hijackers. Days after the Hamas attack, Imam Taha Hassane defended the attack on Israel as an act of self-defense.

“When people are occupied, then the resistance is justified,” he said in an Oct. 20 sermon. “We cannot accuse somebody who is fighting for his life to be a terrorist. The terrorist is the one who started the occupation, not the one who is defending himself.”

The mosque received $150,000 under the grant program on Aug. 15, according to federal spending records.

At the Flint Islamic Center, which received $300,000 in grants on Oct. 12, 2022, an Islamic scholar asserted in a sermon last month that Jews “literally live for the purpose of genocide” of Palestinians.

“These people … their businesses have foundations just to serve their objectives. They literally live for a purpose of genocide in an occupation like this,” said Shaykh Adbullah Waheed.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an advocacy group identified as a co-conspirator of Hamas, has mounted a public awareness campaign to urge mosques and Islamic nonprofits to apply for Homeland Security grants. CAIR noted that fewer than 50 Islamic organizations had received funding under the program, largely due to “concerns about the potential strings attached” to accepting the federal funds….

BREAKING: HISTORIC! House Committee Subpoenas President Biden’s Brother, Son

AP Photo/Evan Vucci
New Rules alert! In a move that was once unthinkable but is now par for the course in the banana republic formerly known as the United States, the Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee has issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden's immediate family members

"House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) today issued subpoenas to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, brother, James Biden, and Biden family associate, Rob Walker, to appear for depositions," the committee announced in a press release on Wednesday. "Chairman Comer also requested additional members of the Biden family and their associates appear for transcribed interviews. Chairman Comer plans to send additional subpoenas and transcribed interview requests later this week."

According to the Oversight Committee's Twitter/X account, those additional subpoenas will go to:

  • Sara Jones Biden (wife of Joe Biden's brother, James)
  • Hallie Biden (widow of Joe Biden's deceased son, Beau, and erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
  • Elizabeth Secundy (Hallie Biden's older sister, also erstwhile slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
  • Melissa Cohen (wife and current slam-piece of Hunter Biden)
  • Tony Bobulinski (Hunter Biden's former business partner)

Recognizing the Historic! nature of the move, the committee commemorated the occasion by posting a video online of Comer signing the subpoenas. I am embedding it here so you can enjoy it as much as I did:

“The House Oversight Committee has followed the money and built a record of evidence revealing how Joe Biden knew, was involved, and benefited from his family’s influence peddling schemes," Comer is quoted as saying in the press release. "Now, the House Oversight Committee is going to bring in members of the Biden family and their associates to question them on this record of evidence. Unlike the many lies President Biden told the American people about his family’s business schemes, bank records don’t lie. These records reveal how the Bidens sold Joe Biden around to the world to benefit the Biden family, including Joe Biden himself, to the detriment of U.S. interests. The House Oversight Committee, along with the Committees on Judiciary and Ways and Means, will continue to follow the facts and deliver the transparency and accountability that the American people demand and deserve.”

The statement alleges that the crooked clan hoovered up over $24 million through its convoluted network of shell companies over a period of five years, "including millions of dollars from China, Russia, Ukraine, Romania, and Kazakhstan."

It will be interesting to see if the lamestream media covers this Historic! development with the same fervor and credulousness as it has every move made by Biden's weaponized justice system against his chief political rival, former President Donald Trump.

Biden Regime Warns Israel Has Limited Time Before It Pulls Support

Biden is Blocking Israeli Ground Assault on Hamas

SEE: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2023/10/biden-is-blocking-israeli-ground-assault-on-hamas;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

U.S. and European governments have joined to put pressure on Israel.

Some are wondering why Israel hasn’t begun the ground assault on Hamas yet. The answer is in Washington D.C.

After the Hamas atrocities, Israel went on a full war footing. 300,000 Israelis have been evacuated from front-line areas and the IDF mobilized 300,000 troops. Those are people who are not with their families or working, some flew in from abroad. This makes Israel one of the most mobilized nations in the world. But it can’t keep that up forever.

But instead of going in, everyone is waiting because D.C. and the EU want to hold off an assault on Hamas.

U.S. and European governments have joined to put pressure on Israel to hold off on its ground invasion of Gaza to allow more time to win the release of hostages held by Hamas, U.S. and foreign officials said.

Several countries have been trying to leverage their contacts with Hamas to press the militant group to release the hostages taken during their onslaught on Israel earlier this month. One U.S. official had said that Qatar’s government had been very helpful on the matter but noted the difficulties of reaching an agreement given Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and the spiraling humanitarian crisis there.

Qatar is a state sponsor of Hamas. It’s harboring Hamas leaders. Before the Hamas attack on Israel, Qatar very helpfully negotiated a truce.

And now that the U.S. and the EU have made it clear that they can stop Israel from taking out Hamas as leverage for the hostages, Hamas has no reason to release the hostages.

Those hostages are the only reason IDF soldiers aren’t in Gaza City right now.

Rather than securing their release, they’ve made them more valuable as hostages.

What did Hamas buy with the release of two female American hostages? The conviction by D.C. diplomats that they can get more released if they just spend more time negotiating with Hamas.

The United States is pressing Israel to hold off on a ground invasion of Gaza to allow for more time for hostage negotiations, according to a CNN report published Sunday.

“The [administration] pressed Israeli leadership to delay because of progress on the hostage front,” a person familiar with the U.S.-Israel talks told the cable network, one of two sources it cited in its report.

Asked on Meet the Press on Sunday about the U.S. delaying a possible ground incursion by Israel into Gaza, Secretary of State Antony Blinken sidestepped the question, but said they are not “second guessing” their ally.

On Saturday, President Joe Biden responded to a question about delaying a potential ground incursion by telling reporters: “I’m talking to the Israelis.”

It’s in Hamas’ interests to appear reasonable but to hang on to enough hostages to slow any Israeli action.

And Hamas is doing just that with the able assistance of its useful idiots in D.C. and Europe.

“Hamas does not appear to have gotten anything concrete out of the Friday release of Americans Judith Tai Raanan and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalie Raanan,” CNN claims.

Hamas has gotten Israel to delay a ground assault. How much more concrete can you get?

Majority of Supreme Court Allows Biden Regime to Use Private Companies to Censor Speech Into 2024

Should a president be able to censor his political opponents? Stay tuned.

The good news is that a reckoning with the Biden administration’s policy of telling companies to censor things they don’t like is coming. The Supreme Court will take up the Louisiana ban on the administration censoring political opponents via private companies. The bad news is that Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett decided to sign on letting the Biden administration go on doing it for another year because the First Amendment is just a theory.

Read the Alito dissent on the majority issuing a stay on an order blocking the Biden administration’s censorship. (Alito was joined by Thomas and Gorsuch.)

Today, however, a majority of the Court, without undertaking a full review of the record and without any explanation, suspends the effect of that injunction until the Court completes its review of this case, an event that may not occur until late in the spring of next year. Government censorship of private speech is antithetical to our democratic form of government, and therefore today’s decision is highly disturbing.

This case began when two States, Missouri and Louisiana, and various private parties filed suit alleging that popular social media companies had either blocked their use of the companies’ platforms or had downgraded their posts on a host of controversial subjects, including “the COVID–19 lab leak theory, pandemic lockdowns, vaccine side effects, election fraud, and the Hunter Biden laptop story.”

According to the plaintiffs, Federal Government officials “were the ones pulling the strings,” that is, these officials “‘coerced, threatened, and pressured [the] social-media platforms to censor [them].’”

… To stop this “campaign,” the injunction, as it now stands, prohibits the covered officials from doing two things. First, they may not “coerce” social media platforms to make “content-moderation decisions.” Second, they may not “meaningfully contro[l]” social media platforms’ “content-moderation” efforts. Displeased with these restrictions, the Government filed an emergency application asking us to stay the effect of this injunction pending certiorari…

Despite the Government’s conspicuous failure to establish a threat of irreparable harm, the majority stays the injunction and thus allows the defendants to persist in committing the type of First Amendment violations that the lower courts identified. The majority takes this action in the face of the lower courts’ detailed findings of fact…

At this time in the history of our country, what the Court has done, I fear, will be seen by some as giving the Government a green light to use heavy-handed tactics to skew the presentation of views on the medium that increasingly dominates the dissemination of news. That is most unfortunate.

Left unsaid by Alito is that the Biden administration will be able to continue censoring opposing views into 2024 as the presidential campaign continues to get underway.

The Biden administration claimed that being unable to censor political dissent during a presidential campaign would cause “irreparable harm” while Alito argues that censoring political dissent will cause “irreparable harm”.

Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett sided with the Biden administration. That does not bode well for the actual case, but we shall see. If the Biden administration wins this one, the First Amendment effectively becomes a dead letter on the internet.

Should a president be able to censor his political opponents? Stay tuned.

Biden Got $200,000 Payment From Family Business Tied to Islamic Terror, Hamas

An envelope filled with “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” linked to terrorists and a “torture ticket”

In 2020, I dug into what was probably one of the strangest and most overlooked Biden family scandals.

James Biden, Joe’s brother, had become a principal at Americore whose business model was based on buying and turning around rural hospitals. But the turnaround was into the grave.

Obamacare had hit rural hospitals hard, forcing many of them to shut down. By Obama’s last year in office, 4% of rural hospitals had closed down, and hundreds more were on the brink. And the Bidens had figured out a way to profit from the devastation caused by Obama-Biden.

“His brother was very interested in rural health care and very interested in veterans’ health care, and it was something he really wanted to get behind,” an Americore executive recalled Biden telling him. “This would help his brother get elected.”

The hospitals were trashed and patient care fell apart, but James Biden was making money.

Hospital patients might have been able to get basic care and supplies, but the money wasn’t there. Meanwhile, James Biden had allegedly made off with $650,000.

According to the Americore CEO, “Jim Biden directed me to loan him approximately $400,000 of this money for him to use to repay a past-due personal loan.”

Later, “Biden took additional amounts totaling approximately $250,000.”

Thanks to the House Oversight Committee, we now know where some of it went.

In 2018, James Biden received $600,000 in loans from, Americore—a financially distressed and failing rural hospital operator. According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

On March 1, 2018, Americore wired a $200,000 loan into James and Sara Biden’s personal bank account – not their business bank account. On the same day, James Biden wrote a $200,000 check from this same personal bank account to Joe Biden.

While Joe Biden getting cash courtesy of his brother trading on his name and sending it to the ‘Big Guy’ is bad, the details lead down a very disturbing trail.

According to bankruptcy court documents, James Biden received these loans “based upon representations that his last name, ‘Biden,’ could ‘open doors’ and that he could obtain a large investment from the Middle East based on his political connections.”

What Middle East connections? Two of them involve Qatar and Turkey: the state sponsors of Hamas.

Biden and his partners had allegedly gone to the Qatar Investment Authority, the Islamic terror state that acts as the patron for the Muslim Brotherhood, controls Al Jazeera, whose royal family had ties to the mastermind of 9/11, and which is allied with Iran, for money for Americore.

But Qatar didn’t pay up and James Biden and his partners denied ever taking the meeting. The Americore CEO claims he was told that President Trump’s sanctions on Iran blocked the deal.

The former Americore CEO also claims to have met with Hunter and James Biden at a meeting that looked for ways to raise money from China.

One of the men claimed that James Biden had promised to sell the plan to the White House. Instead Biden accidentally texted him a plan to defraud him even as Biden’s partner was encouraging him to make up numbers to defraud a Turkish company.

And then the story gets really disturbing.

After they sued Biden and his partners, they received an envelope filled with “blood-stained currency from a Middle Eastern country” linked to terrorists and a “torture ticket” resulting in an FBI investigation.

Imagine if a GOP candidate had this stuff in his background. It would have been splashed all over every paper in America. But while the media peddled the Steele dossier and every dirty smear campaign that never held up, it had no interest in talking about a presidential candidate being connected to an FBI investigation and “blood-stained currency.”

The currency was purportedly from a Middle Eastern country well known for the terrorist groups operating within its borders. Law enforcement has refused to release the currency’s country of origin or provide details about the “torture ticket.” The latter is generally used by terrorist organizations as a “voucher” for future harm, usually in an attempt to incite fear.

The envelope was left in the couple’s mailbox in August, only days after Michael Frey and his business partner, Dr. Mohannad Azzam, filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing James Biden of fraud. They brought the suit after James Biden and his associates promised and failed to line up investors for their rural healthcare enterprise. Instead, Frey and Azzam allege, James Biden urged them to borrow $10 million from a hedge fund manager involved in the deal and then proceeded to pass their idea off as his own to a conglomerate of Turkish investors.

Which country was the currency from? The FBI told the media not to say.

Knox News has reviewed copies of the envelope, the currency, and the torture voucher but agreed at the request of federal authorities not to reveal the country from which the currency was issued.

That is strange. Why not name the country? Who’s being protected here?

Here’s a video of Frey talking about some of this.

We can hazard a guess at which “Middle Eastern” country’s currency it was.

Frey’s lawsuit also named Dr. Amer Rustom, a Florida-based businessman who was touted as the contact who would help secure millions in funding from the Qatari government for the hospital venture.

Jim appeared to cite Rustom in a groveling letter to the Qatari Investment Authority, the Middle East government’s sovereign wealth fund, dated August 2017 and saved on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.

In the letter, he was careful to point out that the Bidens were not lobbyists but dangled the family’s ‘deep and wide’ relationships that ‘lasted through many years and many administrations’ to the senior Qatari prince in charge of the sovereign fund.

‘If this is in keeping with the vision of His Excellency, on behalf of the Biden family, I welcome your interest here,’ Jim wrote. ‘I recommend Dr. Rustom arrange a conference call to discuss the way moving forward and perhaps a face-to-face meeting in New York or Qatar with you and His Excellency.’

The whole arrangement may have flagged suspicious activity reports earlier sought by the HOC.

“It is crucial for the American people to learn the source of James Biden’s Middle East funding, to understand whether President Biden ever used ‘political connections’ to help James Biden or other family members enrich themselves at the expense of national security and whether James Biden or other family members have ever improperly solicited funding in the Middle East, continued Ranking Member Comer. “The Wall Street Journal reported that ‘Treasury has made SARs available for every request we’ve received, regardless of party, and will continue to do so.’ This is not true. You have not provided a single SAR requested by Committee Republicans. In order to ensure that Committee Republicans are able to review Biden family SARs in a timely manner, I request that the Treasury prioritize its production of financial transactions that are related to the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar as soon as possible but no later than July 28, 2022.”

'DEAD ON ARRIVAL': Brian Mast on Biden's request for $105B in aid from Congress

OAN’s James Meyers
10:30 AM – Friday, October 20, 2023

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/biden-funding-request-includes-75b-for-ukraine-and-israel/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

President Joe Biden asked Congress for supplemental funding that totals $105 billion, which includes $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel. 

The Biden administration made the request on Friday morning, a day after the president gave his second prime-time Oval Office address explaining why the aid was in the best interest of the United States. 

“Over the coming weeks, the administration looks forward to continued engagement with members of both parties to reach a comprehensive, bipartisan agreement to fund the Government and invest in critical national priorities,” director of OMB Shalanda Young said in the letter to Congress. “As part of that process, the Congress has an opportunity and obligation to advance our national security by addressing critical needs that should earn Bipartisan support.”

The funding for Israel will be used to strengthen its air and missile defense systems such as the Iron Dome and Iron Beam, an energy laser weapon used in air defense.

Additionally, the money would also be used to help make “cutting-edge” detection technology at the Southern Border and “investigative capabilities to prevent cartels from trafficking fentanyl into the United States.”

The Biden administration also said some of the aid will go to Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and surrounding areas.

“At the same time, we are also requesting support to provide lifesaving humanitarian assistance for civilians impacted by the war in Gaza, who have nothing to do with Hamas and are suffering greatly as well,” National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on a press call Friday morning. “This budget request will also help the administration enhance embassy security in Israel and for neighboring embassies as we stay vigilant against threats to our personnel who serve our country every day overseas.”

However, the request will not be voted on by Congress anytime soon because of the vacancy of a Speaker of the House.

Jim Jordan failed for a third time on Friday to be elected after only receiving 194 votes, which falls short of the required 217 votes for the majority.
