Why Biden's new Ambassador to Israel is 'DEEPLY DISTURBING'

The Senate has confirmed Jack Lew as the United States' new ambassador to Israel and it reveals a lot about what Biden's true intentions may be. Glenn runs through the basic qualifications an ambassador to Israel should have — a deep understanding of the Jewish culture, foreign policy, and Iran. So, does Jack Lew — Obama's former Treasury Secretary who played a key role in the 2015 Iran nuclear deal — check the boxes? Well, Glenn says he has a feeling that Lew won't be too popular in Israel, especially as Iranian-backed terrorists continue to attack.

GLENN: So yesterday, the Senate voted to confirm President Biden's pick for ambassador to Israel. I don't think he's going to be real popular over there.

Now, this has been a month's long vacancy. How is that possible?

Well, President Biden really picked somebody really, really good.

The qualifications. What do you think the qualifications to the ambassador to Israel. What should he have?

I mean, maybe, he should be Jewish.

Okay. The new ambassador.

Checks that box. He's an Orthodox Jew. Observes the Sabbath. So far so good. Our ambassador to Israel should also have experience to foreign policy. Kind of important, saying the region is a tinderbox right now. Might be a little bit of an understatement.

Well, the nominee, he did serve as Obama's deputy secretary of state, for management and resources.

That is referred to as the chief operating officer of the State Department. So, you know, give it all the aid that we'll probably throw at the region. Could be a valuable skill set.

No. No. Now, of course, much of that aid is going to Gaza. But we know this new ambassador that was passed yesterday, by the Senate, knows how to handle finance. I mean, real finance. Real money too.

His name is Jack Lew. He's the new ambassador.


Lieu was also the director of the office of management and budget, under both Clinton and Obama.

And then he served as Obama's Treasury secretary from 2013 to 2017. So that's great. Right?

As we learned from Ukraine, keeping track of our foreign aid, is going to be very important. And if he's the ambassador, it will be great.

Oh, wait. What?

We just throw it out like Oprah?

And hope it blows up Russia or something?

Oh.

What? There's definitely no money laundering going on?

Right. Okay.

What do you mean?

Having the guy who ran the US Treasury. The opera or operas is going to make things worse?

No. It can't be. It can't be. The third thing I think we should learn about the ambassador of Israel. He has a very solid understanding of Iran.

And Jack Lew has a very solid understanding on Iran.

Because Hamas isn't funding itself. Hamas, Hezbollah, and now the Houthi rebels in Yemen, they're all getting their money and orders from Iran.

So we don't want to send more. What?

He's going to send. Okay.

Wait a minute.

Apparently, Jack Lew is one of the main players in Iran's nuclear deal.

He is also the main guy Obama used to sell the deal to the Jewish community.

Now, he probably quickly realized the deal backfired. Well, in 2017, he said, I think Israel is safer today, than it was before the deal, when Iran was genuinely approaching having a nuclear weapon.

So remember the pallet of cash, that we put on the airport there for Iran?

Yeah. That's Jack Lew.

That's him.

So good pick for ambassador. For Israel. Right?

Every Senate Republican, except for two, voted no!

The two that voted for him, Rand Paul, and warmonger extraordinaire Lindsey Graham.

Now, is there a chance that Jack Lew will use his financial and negotiation skills to bring peace back to the region?

Yeah.

Or maybe he's the perfect guy to continue what Biden has been doing all along. Appeasing Iran. Making the perfect opportunity for government money laundering.

But, I mean, honestly, if we could print our own money in the basement, I mean, wouldn't you?


STU: So Rand Paul -- Rand has been on the record kind of to approve most nominees. Right? That's kind of been his stance over the years.

He pretty much believes -- he believes in pretty much rubber stamps. He believes unless there's something deeply unconstitutional about him.

I vote yes.

I am there to affirm. This is the way it used to be done, pretty much.

You would send somebody. And the Senate would not hold it for very long.

They would say, yes, Mr. President. That's who you want. That's who you get.

Unless there's something deeply disturbing.

And I think there's something deeply disturbing. You know, about Jack Lew.

STU: Right. It's interesting tool. On the money part of this.

The Republican Party stopped caring about spending. I don't know what year it was.

But pretty recently. At least stopped saying they -- they cared about spending.

They really just -- I guess they habitized it. Only when they're in the opposition, do they say anything about it, basically at this point.

And it does not seem to be to be a central part of the platform anymore. It's good. You want to make sure that you watch where this money goes. I think there's no reason to avoid doing something like that.

I think the interesting part about this, is that this is such a bad situation.

I am someone who does care about spending. Like, we bring on budget experts all the time.

We still talk about how the debt is out of control.

Like, it's an issue I still care about.

But when it comes to issues like both Ukraine and Israel, it is lower on my priority list. It's not the top thing, I'm thinking about when I'm thinking about it.

Like Ukraine is a great example of this. I'm upset about all the money we're spending in Ukraine.

It's not my top concern, however, when it comes to Ukraine.

My top concern is this moronic group of people, getting us into World War III.

GLENN: Yes.

STU: Like. I don't want them to spend the money. But if they spent the money on lollipops, I would also be very upset about it. But I don't think it would cause World War III.

GLENN: Yeah, right. I get that. I am concerned about -- that's why I like the deal that the House has just put together for Israel.

If Biggs gets the amendment. Where you have to have eyes on it. That should be a given. That should just be a given.

So you have to have eyes on it.

And the money comes from something you didn't spend that you said you wanted before.

Well, now you want this.

Okay. We will take that.

That is the way everybody in the real world works.

STU: Yeah. And it's a way to actually address both things. There's no reason, why we can't take it from some delapidated. Either not spending it. Or wasting it.

GLENN: Yeah. I don't think. And this is a real thing. We spent, I don't know how many millions on -- I guess mapping the vaginas of lesbians in the Congo.

I mean, what -- what?

STU: Mapping them.

GLENN: Well, I don't know exactly what we did with them.

But we were studying them for some reason.

And I don't know why.

STU: I don't want to know why.

GLENN: I don't want to know why.

Just stop. Stop.

There's enough cookies in the cookie jar. That are so bad, that we should take them out of the jar.

STU: And, you know, look, I've never been to the Congo.

I had a time share there. But I never made it out there.

GLENN: Yeah.

STU: But my belief is it's probably not the greatest place to live on a daily basis.

And if so, leave these people alone.

Stop studying their vaginas. Just let them live their lives. You don't need to go in there with all your equipment. Just them alone. Let them breathe. You know what I'm saying? Let them hang out there. That -- that should be lower on your concern list.

Meet the pro-Intifada candidate NYC Democrats just elected

New York City Democrats just elected 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist Muslim", as the Party's candidate for mayor. But Glenn Beck argues that his radical beliefs are actually communist and Islamist.

VOICE: Z10852. Something weird is going on. The World Trade Center is on fire.

VOICE: Seriously the top of the building. We're trying to get information.

VOICE: Top level of one of the --

VOICE: To unfold from New York City.

VOICE: A plane crashed just --

VOICE: My sister is in that believe. I hope she's okay. I have to come to New York.

VOICE: It's pandemonium.

VOICE: It's raining papers.

VOICE: Wait a minute! Stop just a second. Why are we -- why are we -- I've got breaking news. Breaking news, yesterday. New York City just elected as their mayoral candidate for the left. And the Democrats, a -- a Muslim radical, who is also a communist!

So, you know, it only took you 25 years. It only took you 25 years, New York, to go completely insane.

Somebody who is -- well, I mean, if I might quote Michael malice today. I am old enough to remember when New Yorkers endured 9/11 instead of voting for it.

But you've got a -- you've got a communist jihadist apologist now.

Who was -- you know, well, CAIR put $100,000 behind his bid for New York City mayor.

So you have somebody who is endorsed by CAIR. That's really good.

He also was somebody who said, you know, he was -- he was for the shooting of the United Health Care CEO.

Said he was looking forward to driving down magnum Joan avenue. I don't know. Sounds like supporting people in the streets. Maybe it's just me.

Then he also said that he was going to globalize the intifada, which I think that's -- maybe -- maybe that's just me.

I mean, what do I know?

Tim Miller who is a podcaster. Asked him a few weeks ago. Asked him about his pro Palestinian slogan. Globalized the intifada. And he said, for me, ultimately, what I hear in so many, is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights, in standing up for Palistinian human rights. Oh, is that what you hear, Mr. CAIR?

Really? Huh, that's interesting.

Right. So globalize the intifada.

I mean, I mean, sure, that's -- I mean well, let me go on.

Because I don't want to take him out of context.

He then delved into the semantics of the intifada, citing the United States Holocaust memorial museum's use of a word for a translation for uprising, in an Arabic version of an article, a museum published about the Warsaw ghetto.

Oh!

So this is just a comparison, about the -- the armed rebellion against the Nazis!

I don't know if that makes me feel better!

I mean, if we're globalizing that.

We're the Nazis in this scenario.

Because I don't think it's the Palestinians.

I certainly don't think it's anybody who is like, hey.

Global jihad. I don't think it's those guys.

Or the Nazis. Who are the Nazis in that?

And it seems, if that's what you mean, then it's not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights. It is a call for violence on the streets.

Because I don't know if you know, that's what happened when the Jews had their uprising against the Nazis.

I'm just saying!

But, hey, hey, free Palestine.

Oh, that's not what that means, gang. That is not what that means, but don't worry about it. He's just going to be possibly the new mayor.

And that's great. By the way, the Columbia faculty members signed a letter defending Hamas.

They were also among the donors to his mayoral campaign.

So, you know, you don't have anything to worry about.

And his father, who used to work at Columbia. Do you know, Stu?

Is his Dad -- is he still a professor at Columbia University?

He said that -- this violent terror thing of Islam, is not a part of Islam. Now, I've read the Koran, and much of the hadith.

And I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that. But no.

No. This is something entirely new.

And his father while at Columbia university, wanted everybody to know, that this is actually -- this is something that came out of America!

America is really responsible for this.

And, you know, it really started with the Reagan administration, you know, when he started -- when he started with his very religious terms, to finish the war against the evil empire.

So, you know, that's where -- that's where 9/11 came from.

Is what -- don't worry about it! Don't worry about it!

Because who am I? I'm clearly just -- am I an anti-Semite today, or am I an Islamophobic? I can't remember which one.

Oh, it's probably both. Anyway, Islamophobia. Let me just explain Islamophobia. I haven't even gotten to the Communist part of it. Which is really, really -- New York, you're in one for hell of a ride. Buckle up.

It will be a fun rollercoaster for you. My gosh, I've never been happier that I've been away are if New York.

Anyway, I just want I to know, there is Islam. And then there is Islamists. Now, an Islamist is somebody who really wants Sharia law.

That's political Islam!

That's not a faith. That's political Islam.

Now, let me make really -- something really clear. Criticizing Islamism, is not Islamophobia. Pointing out the dangers of, oh. I don't know.

Political Islam. The ideology that seeks to use the tools of democracy, ultimately to destroy democracy, is not an attack on Muslims.

No. Uh-uh.

You know why?

Because Muslims are often the first people in line.

The first victims of the ideology.

So let's draw a bright, bright line between Islam as a faith, millions of people can practice that faithfully and peacefully.

It's mostly peaceful, okay?

Then there's the Islamism.

Islamism is something entirely -- that's a political project.

A theocratic political -- oh. Left loves theocracies. They love it.

Of course, you never see a problem with it.

See it when an Islamist is touting it. Anyway, it's not about prayer. It's not about fasting. It's not about spiritual life.

It's all about power. It's about merging of mosque and state. It's about implementing Sharia, not as a personal code of conduct. But as a governing legal system.

And it's -- it's supremacy.

Absolutely. Faith.

Religion.

It's -- there's one thing that's supreme.

It's misogynistic.

Deeply intolerant of all kinds of things.

Descent. Secularism. Other faiths. Even competing interpretations from inside the faith itself.

It will behead them too.

So let's -- let's be honest here for a second.

You know, CAIR should be labeled an international terror organization.

In my opinion. In my opinion.

Oh, does that make me -- that makes me an Islamophobe. I'm sure. I'm sure they will start a campaign against me on being an Islamophobe.

Stand in line, guys. You've been doing it since 2001, okay?

I don't really care. And I don't think the American people. I think that record, all the grooves are worn-out on that one, okay?

This is not a religion we're talking about. When we're talking about Sharia law. And we're talking about globalize the intifada. What does that mean, actually, to globalize it?

Does that mean we now want to do what is happening to Israel? All over the world?

Has the Palestinian plight become our plight you now, as Americans?

That there has to be an intifada here!

Because it's the kind of the same. You know. It's kind of the same over, you know, with what the Palestinians are going through.

Well, it's very much like what the Jews went through with the Nazis.

That's a weird one. That one makes my head hurt. It's very much the same as that. And very much the same as the fight against Donald Trump.

Oh, this is going to be fun. It's fun!

Really fun. You know, the irony here is, the ones that will scream Islamophobia the most, are the ones in the progressive left, the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights. And secularism.

They're going to -- no. You want -- they're going to stand with the people, who want to kill them first.

See, this is how smart they are!

This is why it's going to work out well, in New York City.

Let me just say. If you have an ounce of common sense, you run a business, you have an ounce of wealth. And I don't mean wealth like, you know, hey, Lovey.

Let's get on the boat for a three-hour tour with a suitcase full of cash. I mean you saved anything, anything, get the hell out of New York City.

I mean, this is about survival. This is about free speech. This is about women's rights.
Religious pluralism. Secular legal systems. Liberal democracy.

But it's also about failed principles of Communism. Okay?

First, you have to call out political Islam for what it is. Okay?

And we have to do it with the clarity that we call out white nationalism.

Got to do it with that. Got to -- you know, the Klan. Really bad people.

Really bad people.

Anybody who is shouting for globalized intifada?

Pretty bad. Pretty bad people.

Okay?

Now, let's get to communism.

Because that's another cool, cool angle of the new Democratic candidate for -- for mayor of New York City.

That I just -- I think is cuddly and cute. Sure, it led to 100 million deaths. But this time, New York is going to be radically different. Oh, did I use the word radical?

I didn't mean to use that. What's radical about this guy?

Nothing. He's just like you!

Well, not exactly.

But let's talk about communism, next!

Now, the new mayoral candidate that's running there in New York City. That so many young people rushed to defend and vote for. He's promising free buses.

That's going to work out.

Where are you going to get the money for free buses.

It's free!

City-run grocery stores.

Oh, rent freezes. And finally somebody has done it. A 30-dollar minimum wage.

So under the banner of equity. And, you know, we will tax the wealthy. And the corporations. You know, we're going to squeeze another $10 billion out of them.

Really?

Because they're going to call a U-Haul.

You know, they will call something like U-Haul. There will be a lot of -- there will be a lot of movers that are like, how do I get the truck back from Texas or Florida back up to New York? Nobody is moving up there.

But he's going to do it.

Now, his vision isn't really new. You know, just -- just tax people, so we could have city-run grocery stores. You know, I remember -- I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow.

They were great.

The shelves were empty.

But that's just Moscow.

It worked out completely different in Venezuela.

Where, oh, no.

It didn't. That's right. The grocery store.

They were eating the zoo animals.

But it will be different in New York.

Because they have rent controls too.

And that will just choke the housing supply, but don't worry. As a young family.

You know, you voted for it.

You know better.

It will work this time.

So, you know, I like building ideas, I just don't like usually building on the graves of 100 million people.

But, you know, why not? Why not?

You know, use this dogma.

And this time, it will be different. It's not like it was in China. Where the great leap forward, was a gross -- a gross parody of progress. Venezuela, which was oil rich. One of the richest nations in the hemisphere now sees 90 percent of its population in poverty!

Yeah. Darn it. You know what they did?

They decided to take state control of things.

You know, like grocery stores. And it worked out well. How is that free busing working out in Venezuela?

I just want to -- I just want to know.

Anyway, then you've got the globalize the intifada. Which is going to drop a little violence in, and anti-Semitism in with your communism.

Which is weird!

Because violence and anti-Semitism, always happen. When it -- when it comes to -- when it comes to communism.

This is weird!

I've got to play something for you. Because this has talked about on me earlier this morning.

Oh, wow.

Wait a minute. This is -- this is the whole coalition coming together here.

So this is going to be good. New York, this is going to be great.

It's going to be great for you.

No. He's going to uplift you. Then the social fabric of New York City is just going to be -- just one.

It's going to be fantastic. Don't worry about your 120 billion dollars in debt. Or your 10 billion-dollar deficit that you have right now.

You are going to charge the rich more taxes, and they will stay right there.

They will be like, you know what, that 46 percent in taxes that I'm paying, this is just not enough. It's just not enough.

I need to pay 60 or 70 percent to be able to pay my fair share. So that's good. That's good. That's good.

You know, they're not risking 100 million people. It's just 8 million people.

This time, it's just 8 million people.

But, hey. For those of you in upstate New York. That aren't going to be part of this experiment.

Don't worry, you get to pay for it. Because they'll kick it up to the state. The state will have to subsidize everything. And don't you love it?

Really, don't you want to subsidize the really crazy ideas of New York City?

I mean, why don't you have a -- why don't you have a democratic socialist. A/k/a communist mayor.

Why haven't you done that? Are you not progressive enough? Are you not looking into the future?

Are you stuck in the past?

I don't know. I don't know. The graveyard is pretty big. I have a hard time getting past that one. You know, yeah, so I'm stuck in the past. Because I can't seem to pass that graveyard, and get to be down the path with you. But it's going to be a paradise.

Forget arithmetic. You know, or human nature. This time, it's going to work. It's going to work. So all right!

Wish I lived in this morning.

No wait. Nope. I don't. Nope, I don't.

And Ted Cruz, stop it. Stop writing, hey, come to Texas. No. No. Don't come to Texas. Don't come to Florida. Go to California. It's beautiful this time of year. Go there. Go there.
