RUSH TRANSCRIPT Ambassador to ░░░░░░░░ United States doctor Michael ░░░░░░░░ join just thank you ░░░░░░░░ much Michael as all ░░░░░░░░ a shot like this ░░░░░░░░ Iran and Syria and ░░░░░░░░ not know To be ░░░░░░░░ you as always I ░░░░░░░░ we have a longstanding ░░░░░░░░ we re going to ░░░░░░░░ at any force any ░░░░░░░░ any commander this trying ░░░░░░░░ kill Israelis and the ░░░░░░░░ have been trying to ░░░░░░░░ Israelis assiduously and yes ░░░░░░░░ you said is the ░░░░░░░░ of the snake Just ░░░░░░░░ mornings early this morning ░░░░░░░░ naval built is really ░░░░░░░░ A building was struck ░░░░░░░░ a lot our southern ░░░░░░░░ by a drone sent ░░░░░░░░ a pro Iranian militia ░░░░░░░░ Iraq so we re ░░░░░░░░ hit in the north ░░░░░░░░ pro Iranian militias and ░░░░░░░░ worth by by his ░░░░░░░░ in the south by ░░░░░░░░ which is fully backed ░░░░░░░░ Iran Is wholly owned ░░░░░░░░ operated by Iran and ░░░░░░░░ course this was going ░░░░░░░░ strike at the forza ░░░░░░░░ operating all of these ░░░░░░░░ against Israelis killing Israelis ░░░░░░░░ that s Iran doesn ░░░░░░░░ have to be know ░░░░░░░░ every single operation but ░░░░░░░░ general they know that ░░░░░░░░ will strike at Iranian ░░░░░░░░ whenever that opportunity arises ░░░░░░░░ way it s playing ░░░░░░░░ the American media Right ░░░░░░░░ which is America has ░░░░░░░░ caught You know off ░░░░░░░░ by what is real ░░░░░░░░ did and now maybe ░░░░░░░░ ll have to pull ░░░░░░░░ and then the counter ░░░░░░░░ is well Israel is ░░░░░░░░ to do it even ░░░░░░░░ u s support None ░░░░░░░░ that makes any sense ░░░░░░░░ me Michael I don ░░░░░░░░ know how Israel can ░░░░░░░░ you could go forward ░░░░░░░░ the U s s ░░░░░░░░ it s over fifty ░░░░░░░░ percent of the iron ░░░░░░░░ Is you as contribution ░░░░░░░░ mean you On here ░░░░░░░░ not know Chris We ░░░░░░░░ involved in in standing ░░░░░░░░ to Iran for many ░░░░░░░░ years now including the ░░░░░░░░ when when I was ░░░░░░░░ and there was no ░░░░░░░░ target that will serve ░░░░░░░░ know out of bounds ░░░░░░░░ long as Iran it ░░░░░░░░ regime was openly declaring ░░░░░░░░ s objective wiping Israel ░░░░░░░░ the map Iran is ░░░░░░░░ a threat to Israel ░░░░░░░░ is an existential threat ░░░░░░░░ Israel United States probably ░░░░░░░░ in history face an ░░░░░░░░ threat to countries is ░░░░░░░░ to wipe it off ░░░░░░░░ map Maybe khrushchev in ░░░░░░░░ early 19 sixties grab ░░░░░░░░ United States but but ░░░░░░░░ faces that threat Of ░░░░░░░░ we have a right ░░░░░░░░ defend ourselves and sport ░░░░░░░░ it s important to ░░░░░░░░ out This is not ░░░░░░░░ s policy is a ░░░░░░░░ standing policy of Israeli ░░░░░░░░ ministers and if spitting ░░░░░░░░ where to go tomorrow ░░░░░░░░ would be the exact ░░░░░░░░ policy irrespective whose prime ░░░░░░░░ A year for all ░░░░░░░░ pressure on if they ░░░░░░░░ get rid of bb ░░░░░░░░ ll get closer to ░░░░░░░░ You say no because ░░░░░░░░ policy of going after ░░░░░░░░ will be the same ░░░░░░░░ matter who is in ░░░░░░░░ What does it mean ░░░░░░░░ they are going to ░░░░░░░░ al jazeera to leave ░░░░░░░░ because they believe that ░░░░░░░░ are enemies of the ░░░░░░░░ or national security risk ░░░░░░░░ know how that will ░░░░░░░░ in America that they ░░░░░░░░ burdening free speech That ░░░░░░░░ of legislation doesn t ░░░░░░░░ the government now and ░░░░░░░░ probably wouldn t vote ░░░░░░░░ such piece of legislation ░░░░░░░░ also understand those people ░░░░░░░░ look at al jazeera ░░░░░░░░ This is not really ░░░░░░░░ news organization Is the ░░░░░░░░ organization and do this ░░░░░░░░ it isn t promoting ░░░░░░░░ narratives The most recent ░░░░░░░░ this that to here ░░░░░░░░ promoting That is really ░░░░░░░░ Sub prefer are guilty ░░░░░░░░ mass sexual assaults against ░░░░░░░░ women That type of ░░░░░░░░ is highly damaging to ░░░░░░░░ security So I understand ░░░░░░░░ the impetus I think ░░░░░░░░ this a problematic precedent ░░░░░░░░ a country which does ░░░░░░░░ respect the right of ░░░░░░░░ speech and putting international ░░░░░░░░ news Organizations that can ░░░░░░░░ very very critical of ░░░░░░░░ state in Israel is ░░░░░░░░ not promoting blatantly flagrant ░░░░░░░░ think of be false ░░░░░░░░ which which al jazeera ░░░░░░░░ the way retracted that ░░░░░░░░ accusation of mass sexual ░░░░░░░░ retractable like a one ░░░░░░░░ retracted Not even a ░░░░░░░░ apology at me While ░░░░░░░░ is from his where ░░░░░░░░ air officer generals huh ░░░░░░░░ into the State Department ░░░░░░░░ the accusation was made ░░░░░░░░ this is accusation had ░░░░░░░░ that what all the ░░░░░░░░ the State Department nasty ░░░░░░░░ material a diplomatic farms ░░░░░░░░ state of Israel Again ░░░░░░░░ I remain as an ░░░░░░░░ wouldn t vote for ░░░░░░░░ is a very problematic ░░░░░░░░ You again a notes ░░░░░░░░ middle the night there ░░░░░░░░ Is there a chance ░░░░░░░░ you can just wave ░░░░░░░░ away and say you ░░░░░░░░ like a dopey conspiracists ░░░░░░░░ does America not have ░░░░░░░░ be in the loop ░░░░░░░░ all of this but ░░░░░░░░ for whatever reason does ░░░░░░░░ have the resolve to ░░░░░░░░ at Iran and that ░░░░░░░░ is doing the heavy ░░░░░░░░ for the American agenda ░░░░░░░░ controlling Iran The by ░░░░░░░░ election year not to ░░░░░░░░ dragged into a direct ░░░░░░░░ about with you on ░░░░░░░░ it is doesn t ░░░░░░░░ that luxury election year ░░░░░░░░ election year Nessie Now ░░░░░░░░ minister prime minister point ░░░░░░░░ point out that the ░░░░░░░░ minister is not the ░░░░░░░░ a nice days The ░░░░░░░░ professor is not the ░░░░░░░░ chief it was really ░░░░░░░░ forces decisions like that ░░░░░░░░ to take out a ░░░░░░░░ Iranian commander is not ░░░░░░░░ by the prime minister ░░░░░░░░ made by the government ░░░░░░░░ Israel by the cabinet ░░░░░░░░ so consensual issue Umm ░░░░░░░░ as to understand is ░░░░░░░░ act according to his ░░░░░░░░ interests if those interests ░░░░░░░░ it are reflect it ░░░░░░░░ vital international It s ░░░░░░░░ national security and that ░░░░░░░░ not going to change ░░░░░░░░ and we don t ░░░░░░░░ the luxury of saying ░░░░░░░░ we re not get ░░░░░░░░ into war with Iran ░░░░░░░░ is already in a ░░░░░░░░ with us We ve ░░░░░░░░ dozens of rockets being ░░░░░░░░ by Hezbollah at the ░░░░░░░░ The whole northern part ░░░░░░░░ this country at are ░░░░░░░░ an uninhabitable no country ░░░░░░░░ tolerate last certainly not ░░░░░░░░ States Just saying sometimes
