2:25 am
you have weakness in the white house, what we're seeing is joe biden live marching into war in the middle east. he's played footsie with iran, played both sides and the united states has a morale obligation because of support for democracy to support israel. when donald trump was president, our incomes feared him and this would never happen under donald trump. he killed nuclear deal with iran, there was peace through strength, there was strength in the white house and our enemies feared him, this is what w weakness looks like. >> carley: there is concern this attack might not just target israel, it could target american assets, if this comes from iran and their proxies, then what? >> that is the million dollar question, we have already seen
2:26 am
ira iranian proxies attack and try to harm u.s. soldiers. again, this is why november is so important, we don't want to be in war in the middle east or anywhere. while this is happening, the left is flailing over russia because of the situation in ukraine. it is an unstable world and we need a stronger leader as president of the united states. >> carley: president biden commented yesterday, take a listen to what he had to say. well, i can read it for you, we're having trouble with that sound bite. he said, we want to address the i iranian threat to launch a signal we are threatening s significant attack on israel, i told prime minister netanyahu threats from iran and proxies is iron clad. he says that we're showing picture of him shaking prime minister netanyahu's hand there.
2:27 am
but he also did an interview with univision and described benjamin netanyahu war policy as mistake and said i do not agree with this approach. daily criticism of israel is a political calculation. whatesque r effect does this rhetoric have when it comes to the war itself? >> it weakens israel, you see joe biden playing both sides, shows weakness for the united states, even though we have a moral obligation to support them. this weakens our position and w weakens our allies in the region and makes iran feel embolden. this is what we're seeing today. >> carley: there is a lot going on today with fisa, you were one of 19 republicans to vote no on
2:28 am
advances this bill that allow upons the united states to t track -- why were you a no on that one? >> we need to reform fisa, i'm a constit consti constitutionalist and we should not spy on law-abiding american citizens without a rnt wa -- warrant. this is negotiation on moving forward on fisa. we are demanding this be reformed with real reform that protect all americans and that is what this is about. we had this opportunity to kill this bill yesterday, that is what we did and are in negotiations with moving forward with more reform. >> carley: what does the path forward look like? christopher wray says it is critical this does pass and it is true if a suspected terrorist
2:29 am
is talking to an american overseas, that communication can get swept up along with the suspected terrorist communication, there are laws in place that say you need a warrant to investigate that american system. this new hanover thing republicans are trying to pas would add a second warrant to that, where discipline your concern lie here? >> last person i trust on warrantless spying of americans is wray. i don't want to hear how serious he is about national security when biden administration has a wide open border, they are letting evil people in every single day. they won't do anything when it comes to security at the border. we ought to make sure citizens are not spied on illegally, there are fisa court abuses, we

2:31 am
>> >> kara: i had to read it several times, this is a finance guy talking about ai. i am so glad to hear him talk like this, it is tr transformational and like ele electricity. ai will underpin many things we do, it will not be something that sends drones everywhere to kill someone. this is something we can think of enhancing productivity if we harness it securely. if you build it, bad actors will exploit it, that is true with most everything, you need grtd rails there and use it to our advantage. i am not a technical doomer, there are good things here. >> todd: for the person watching right now who does not understand commrek plexities of ai, me included, how should we approach this? from a perspective of fear,
2:32 am
optimism, excitement? what should we feel right now? >> i think a measured optimism, there is dual use technology, it is typically applied to the military, you can use technology for military or for business purposes, life purposes, it is going to happen, you are going to be able to have bad actors use it. you see deep fakes, digital forgeries that say put realistic images of women in compromising situations, that is happening and that is bad. look at the general technology and i'm not talking about africa general intelligence, you look at underlying technology and it helps recognize patterns and auto mate tasks, simple things we should do, say in the in intelligence community and

2:46 am
rearrested them. the city did not coordinate with ice, they can't by law, that is a problem. >> a huge problem, that is sanctuary city problem and you have that with mayor adams, kathy hochul, pat ryan, the executive that made that county a sanctuary counties. when you have dangerous criminals that cross illegally and commit crimes,hey are supposed to be removed. my home district in middletown, a week and a half ago, you had a double homicide by an individual, violent double homicide, homicides are violent, that happened in middletown, new york, by an individual that was awaiting deportation hearing. we are supposed to coordinate with ice and get violent criminals off the street, you have pat ryan, kathy hochul, joe biden saying it is okay.
