Biden Calls Bibi 'Bad F***ing Guy,' New Book Alleges
Journalist Bob Woodward alleges that President Joe Biden calls Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a "bad f***ing guy."
- 14 minutes
Woodward quotes.
Biden is calling Israel's prime minister
Benjamin Netanyahu
a bad guy, a, quote, bad effing guy.
Based, I agree.
Now, I personally would not
funnel military weaponry
[00:00:15]
to someone who's a really bad guy.
But Biden has continued to do that.
Now, those revelations that you just
heard from CNN come from Bob Woodward's
latest book, War, which gives you an
inside look into the Biden administration.
And it turns out that Biden allegedly
despises the very man that he is aiding
[00:00:34]
and abetting in a broader regional war
in the Middle East as we speak.
Let's hear more about that.
Bring us into the scene
when Biden boils over with anger
against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Right.
So there are actually a lot of these
scenes so publicly, of course,
[00:00:52]
we know President Biden has been a staunch
ally of Israel, standing behind Israel.
But you really see how after October 7th,
as the war in Gaza escalated,
intensified, Biden loses his temper.
[00:01:08]
He says he's furious with Netanyahu.
And he says to an aide, quote,
that son of a.
You can read it on there.
Bibi Netanyahu, he's a bad guy.
He's a bad guy.
He doesn't give a about Hamas.
He gives a blank only about himself.
[00:01:29]
He's an effing liar. 18 out of 19 people
who work for him are effing liars.
So look, it's so frustrating
how we all know that internally
in the Biden White House.
[00:01:47]
This is how Biden actually feels.
It's not like this is the first time
we've heard about Biden
not being happy with Netanyahu.
Then why do you keep enabling Netanyahu.
Now, some might argue,
well, Biden has no say over the way
that Israel prosecutes the war
in the Middle East, I totally disagree.
[00:02:05]
We fund and provide 90%
of their weaponry, like come on.
Anyway.
- So look, the.
- Ridiculous argument.
There's two different components
of this portion of the Woodward book.
One is the relationship with Israel,
and the other is Biden's
[00:02:24]
potentially colossal errors.
So I want to come back
to that in a second.
But on the issue of Israel.
So this book does the same thing,
as far as I can tell,
based on the excerpts, because the book
hasn't come out, come out yet.
We only have seen the excerpts
that the media is running.
Does the same thing that all mainstream
media does, like, oh my God, the Israelis.
[00:02:42]
Golly gee, they frustrate us.
And Biden secretly disagrees with them,
and so does Kamala Harris,
and so does everyone else.
And they never talk about
the 800 pound gorilla in the room.
Right.
So if you've ever been online, there's
this great that's ever been online.
I seen this thing online where they
ask you to count the number of passes
[00:03:01]
between these players in basketball,
and you're concentrating so hard on that
and that you miss later on
when you rewatch the video, there's a guy
in a gorilla suit that walks by.
And so this is Israel.
Our funding to Israel is the guy
walking across the screen
[00:03:17]
with a gorilla outfit, right?
We're giving them $26 billion,
yet nobody talks about it.
They're like, oh golly gee, Biden's so
frustrated, but there's nothing he can do.
What do you mean
there's nothing he can do?
He could stop the funding.
He could stop the weapons.
But people in Washington,
that is unacceptable.
[00:03:36]
Sacrosanct. Unthinkable.
How could you not give Israel
everything they have ever demanded?
Who would be so insolent
as to disagree with our occupiers?
No. Look, I get I get that argument, Jake,
but here's what I don't understand, okay?
[00:03:51]
Joe Biden is 81 years old.
His political career is coming to an end.
And I would like to believe
that if I spent 50 years of my life
kowtowing to people that I despise, right?
Just to play the game of politics once I
know you know, my career is wrapping up,
[00:04:09]
I'm going to go all out
and I'm going to do what I want.
- What's going to happen?
- I know what's going to happen.
So he's not going to get reelected.
No, no, no, you're missing it.
So I hear you.
That's what a decent person do.
That's what a strong person would do.
But here's what they walk in the room
and tell you, which is
[00:04:24]
and this is not a conspiratorial day.
This is just
a normal political conversation in D.C.
They'll say, Mr. President, please,
we've got a campaign to run.
AIPAC is spending
over $100 million in this election,
and so we can't have you going out there
and endangering the rest of the party
[00:04:41]
for your own personal emotional release.
We need this money for Democrats.
Otherwise the Republicans
are going to win.
You have to do everything
that AIPAC tells you to do.
Please, Mr. President,
this is so important.
But besides which, Anna, they don't even
bother having those conversations anymore.
[00:04:57]
They used to have those conversations.
Now there's not a single person
in the room that objects to anything
that's Israel's doing.
They all assume they must
must follow every command of AIPAC.
And remember, AIPAC is not just it's
definitely not for Jewish Americans.
[00:05:13]
In fact, they've targeted Jewish Americans
like Andy Levin in the past.
And it's not even for all Israelis.
It's now a right wing,
pro-netanyahu group.
So the reason they went after Andy Levin
and spent $4 million against him
because because he dared to say
the Palestinians should also have a state,
[00:05:29]
they're like, no,
we're going to take all the land.
That's what Netanyahu said.
Fire Andy Levin, right.
So that's who the thugs at AIPAC are.
So everyone in Washington
is so scared of them.
And remember, Anna, the reason you're not
a politician is because you're a person
[00:05:45]
who's strong and brave, etc.
These politicians are cowards, servants.
They take orders
from any donor that comes by.
Joe Biden has been
a pathetic weakling his whole life.
He's always been.
He was known as the senator from MBNA.
That was a credit card company.
So now here we go.
[00:06:00]
On Israel, McGurk says, and this is he's
a bad guy, always doing what Israel wants.
Biden's Middle East coordinator.
He says the Israelis always do this.
They claim we got the Intel.
You'll see it, you'll see it.
But like 50% of the time, the
so-called Intel doesn't actually show up.
[00:06:15]
So even McGurk knows
the Israelis are definitely lying
whenever they say anything publicly
or even privately to the administration.
U.S. Administration.
Blinken thought that Yoav Galant, who was
supposed to be one of the moderates in the
cabinet, the defense minister for Israel.
[00:06:31]
Now, this is not Galant saying
this is Blinken saying it about Galant.
He says it doesn't matter
how many people die.
I have a mission to eradicate Hamas.
And it doesn't matter
how many Palestinians die.
It doesn't matter how many Israelis die.
- Oh, it's so disgusting.
- So that's what.
Blinken is so disgusting, I can't
oh, that's.
[00:06:48]
What Blinken thinks Galant thinks.
But Blinken tells Biden
we must follow their orders.
Please send in the $26 billion right away.
- They don't care Biden about.
- Anyone's lives, okay?
Doesn't matter what the identity is, man.
I mean, here you have it.
- Okay.
- All right.
At last, two things on Israel.
[00:07:05]
Biden complained that Netanyahu
was a liar, as Anna told you,
and he said 18 out of 19 people
who've worked for Netanyahu are liars.
So he knows that Israel
is lying every time.
Then he comes out here
like a dog publicly and goes, oh,
we trust our beloved special ally, Israel.
[00:07:21]
How about Kamala Harris?
She had a pleasant conversation
with Netanyahu, of course.
And then she came out.
This is a while back and said she would
not be silent about Palestinian suffering.
And The Washington Post
and Bob Woodward and everybody writes this
as this infuriated Netanyahu.
[00:07:37]
And it's almost like it's a mark
against Kamala Harris.
You've angered
the dear leader of the planet.
How could you?
Kamala Harris but okay, now I want to move
to the more important things
about Biden bungling things.
There should be
giant national stories today.
[00:07:54]
It's startling that reporters can read
this and not think that they're huge.
So all right, number one, when talking
to the Russians or about the Russians
and the potential invasion of Ukraine,
Biden accidentally said
[00:08:09]
it could be just a minor incursion.
That's a really bad.
That's like when our ambassador went to
Saddam Hussein during the first before the
first Persian Gulf War, before he invaded
Kuwait and accidentally seemed to give.
[00:08:24]
Well, if it was an accident.
But they say officially accidentally
gave him a green light on attacking Kuwait
and then he attacked Kuwait.
So when Biden said
it would just be a minor incursion,
it made it seem like it was no big deal
and encouraged Russia to go in.
[00:08:39]
And then they had to do
damage control, etc..
Why did he say that?
That is not Biden's position,
let alone the US government's position,
because, guys, he's been
in mental decline the whole time.
That's why he says things
that don't make any sense.
And they had to do kind of rewind
his talking points all the time.
[00:08:58]
That should be the biggest story
out of the whole Woodward thing.
Totally agree.
Yeah.
But Woodward says overall, Biden created
had steady and purposeful leadership.
I don't think that's true at all.
He's just a prettying up the stories
that he has here.
[00:09:15]
He has an interesting story about
how Zelensky didn't believe our warnings
that Russia was going to invade.
That's a giant story.
And then one more for you guys.
That's really important.
Oh, by the way,
Lindsey Graham said going to Mar-A-Lago
was like going to North Korea.
[00:09:32]
Everybody stands up and applauds
every time Trump walks in and that,
remember, Trump said he he likes that.
Yeah. So, Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
And then the last thing is Apparently,
Biden said, I should have never
[00:09:48]
picked Garland for his attorney general.
And I was like, oh, that's interesting.
I don't like Garland.
Garland started those
prosecutions way too late.
She started him earlier.
Weak, ineffectual.
Is that what he's talking about?
I read further.
No, because he went after Hunter Biden.
Wait a minute.
[00:10:05]
That's just like Trump saying,
yeah, I don't like sessions.
I'm very disappointed
in my attorney general.
He's supposed to represent me.
No, he's supposed to represent
the people of the United States.
And everybody piled on, including me.
For Donald Trump saying that about
sessions and not understanding that
[00:10:21]
the attorney general doesn't work for you.
Now, Joe Biden says the same thing
in an effort to protect his corrupt son,
and nobody makes a big deal out of it.
Jake, are you finally seeing
what I've been trying to say?
Right.
That there's look,
that there's different treatment depending
[00:10:36]
on who's being targeted in the press.
So what I it's not necessarily
that legacy media or mainstream media
is just flat out fabricating things
or making up stories, it's that they
omit certain details to the story.
[00:10:52]
So what it does is it gives you the
perception that Donald Trump, in certain
ways, is like a unique kind of evil.
And look, when it comes to trying
to interfere with the election and
overturn the election, that is very bad.
Okay.
I am not in any way justifying that,
and I have not seen that
[00:11:08]
on the Democratic side.
However, a lot of the behaviors that Trump
got criticized for are also being
practiced by, you know, leadership and
figures on the left or in the Democratic
Party, and that never gets reported.
Yeah. Okay.
Does it get any attention?
And it frustrates me.
[00:11:26]
So. And do I see that I've
been saying that for 20 years.
So it's not just the omissions,
it's the point of emphasis.
So this story has this book has
significantly negative things about Trump
and significantly negative things
about Biden.
I would argue, and I just did argue,
that the negative things about Biden
[00:11:43]
actually are worse than the ones
about Trump in this particular book.
Right. And so so I see that 100%.
But two, even three things
can be true at the same time.
So number one, is the press easier
on the Democrats than the Republicans?
[00:12:00]
Definitely. Right.
So you'll and so number two,
do the Democrats and the Republicans
often do the same exact thing?
And the Republicans are painted as
the bad guys, but the Democrats, weirdly,
are painted as the good guys.
Definitely true.
We can show you dozens of examples
when they agree on serving their donors,
[00:12:18]
but Democrats are painted in
a positive light for serving their donors,
and the Republicans are painted
in a negative light.
Those are true.
But it's also true that Trump is unique.
Biden for all of his terrible actions.
And I could tell you all the criticism
we did of Obama when he was in charge
[00:12:34]
of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, etc.
None of them try
to do a coup against America.
If you're a Republican, you're going
to catch feelings no matter what.
But the brother wouldn't use his
real electors because they wouldn't agree
to an illegal coup against America.
He created fake electors to try to steal
the 2020 election, and he's unique
[00:12:53]
in his insanity like no one else thinks,
hey, maybe we shoot protesters in the leg
and we use the US military to do that.
Maybe the Second Amendment guys
can take out Hillary Clinton's judges.
These are not normal things
that even bad, corrupt politicians say.
[00:13:11]
I mean, he's extraordinarily weird,
stupid, and most importantly, dangerous.
I want to wait and see what the behind
the scenes conversations were
in regard to Palestinian protesters
on college campuses,
you know, within the Biden White House.
[00:13:27]
- But for now, I'll leave it there.
- Okay.
I mean, I hear you,
but again, Biden didn't try coup.
None of these guys did.
When they lock up the Palestinian protest
pro peace protesters,
all of the mainstream media lies and goes
along with it does giant propaganda.
We fight against it.
[00:13:43]
Okay, but don't tell me that you're going
to shoot Black Lives Matters protesters in
the leg and use the US military to do it
and pretend it's normal.
It's not. Imagine if Biden said no.
Well, maybe let's shoot some.
Yeah, maybe let's shoot
some right wing protesters.
So they're protesting me. Why don't you.
Why don't we just bring
in the military to shoot them?
[00:13:59]
You'd lose your mind, wouldn't you?
If you're a right winger.
You'd lose your mind.
Everyone should lose their mind,
of course.
But when Trump does it,
MAGA goes, no, no, it's okay.
I'm just like establishment media.
I'm going to just ignore
every bad thing Trump does, all right?
Be the person that you thought you hated.
That's up to you.
