hello everyone welcome to kudlow i'm
larry kudlow
so a few weeks ago during the israel
hamas hezbollah bombing battles
we talked about how the democratic party
which used to be israel's greatest
offenders
has turned against israel even formerly
strong israeli supporters like senator
chuck schumer
were basically silent in the face of
israeli criticism
by the likes of far-left pro-palestine
terrorist sympathizers
people like representative elon omar and
the so-called squad
alexandria ocasio-cortez ayanna presley
rashida talib jamal bowman corey bush
these folks have pushed the democratic
party out of israel's camp completely
out
now it's the gop that is israel's great
defender
now this tectonic political shift was
triggered in large part by former
president trump
who kept his promise to move the
american embassy to jerusalem
and led the negotiations that led to the
abraham accords
whereby gulf state allies like the uae
qatar
bahrain morocco the saudis were all
favorable
mine informally joined if potus was
re-elected
but the key point here is those others
became formal members of the abraham
accords that's point number one
and the other key point is that the road
to peace no longer ran through palestine
and the corrupt terrorists muhammad
abbas
and part of this tectonic shift was a
very clear-eyed understanding by team
trump
that iran is the enemy in the middle
east
iran is the enemy in the middle east
sponsoring terrorism
and cheating their way towards nuclear
proliferation
i might add financed by our great
friends
russia and china of course john kerry is
stupidly driving president biden
towards a new deal with iran talking
down sanctions giving them cash
accepting unenforceable promises no one
in their right mind believes this is a
good idea
and i mean nobody in washington experts
kerry stands alone why president biden
signs on is a mystery to me
i'll bet you even secretary of state
lincoln has big reservations about this
but i digress we'll cover that another
time here's the point as democrats
become the anti-israel
pro-iranian party we've had yet another
flare-up in washington
from the far left crazies this time ilan
omar
equated the u.s and israel to hamas and
the taliban
this in a recent house foreign relations
committee hearing
she and her squad friends have said this
kind of left-wing drivel before
after the hearing omar even went further
tweeting get this
we must have the same level of
accountability and justice for all
victims of crimes against humanity
we have seen unthinkable atrocities
committed by the u.s
hamas israel afghanistan
and the taliban there you go think about
that
now by wednesday evening a group of 12
house democrats many of the jewish
began to protest omar's mistaken and
bigoted statements
they called her comments offensive and
misguided
but then later that night omar lashes
out at the democrats again calling them
shameful the islamic phobic trobes in
their statement
are offensive the constant harassment
and silencing from the signers of this
letter
is unbearable unbearable and then
thursday morning the other members of
the squad started attacking the 12
concerned democrats
representative rashida talib accuses
democrats and republicans alike of
demonizing omar and calls her critics
sick
for policing her representative corey
bush
accuses democrats of joining republicans
in attacking black women
for standing up for human rights says
enough with the anti-blackness and
islamophobia
aoc says the dems are engaging in
constant vilification
intentional mischaracterization and
public targeting of omar
even some in this so-called mainstream
media jumped in
msnbc's mehti hassan accuses democrats
of reading fox news headlines and
helping incite hate against omar
chris hayes retweeted a message calling
the 12 democrats disgusting for piling
on to their
only colleague wearing a hijab
while democrats cowered under the squad
attack
at least kevin mccarthy and republicans
started slamming speaker pelosi for
failing to say anything
to rebut the crazy squad's anti-semitic
and terror sympathizing then on thursday
omar tries to backtrack saying she
really didn't mean to make a moral
comparison between hamas
and the taliban and the u.s and israel
but for some reason
she forgot to post her clarification on
her twitter
which has three million followers kind
of forgot
and later thursday speaker pelosi
released a
very mealy-mouthed statement from the
house leadership
team they acknowledged that false
equivalencies between u.s
israel and terror groups foment
prejudice and are harmful
and welcoming omar's clarification
but they avoided directly criticizing
omar's actions in any way
and then later thursday okay rashida
right rashida celeb keeps the back and
forth going saying
freedom of speech does it does not exist
for muslim women in congress
and then says democratic leadership
should be ashamed of its tone
policing of con congresswoman of color
right the congressional progressive
caucus defended rashida
omar and the rest of the squad right
then friday
house republicans started calling for
pelosi to throw omar
off the foreign relations committee and
maybe other committees as well
now politically this whole episode
shows how far left today's democratic
party has been pulled
by extremists like the squad people who
do not represent american values
they do not represent american values
frankly
i believe they do not favor america
itself in their mind america is always
wrong
israel is always wrong and of course
donald trump is
always wrong in fact here's a stretch
recently former president obama figured
out a tortured logic way of blaming
trump for the outbreak of anti-semitism
a new low even for obama in so many ways
the growing influence of the squad is
doing so much damage to the democratic
party it could almost
bring crocodile tears of joy to my eyes
but you know what
this has a business and economic hook as
well
because it does show the massive
division in the party
it's not a small schism it's a very
large one
and the so-called progressives along
with the squad
and the other crazies on the far left
are pulling democrats
way far left on taxes and spending and
fossil fuels
and the green new deal as well as social
issues like critical race theory or
cancel culture and ending history for
our purposes though
this leftist extremism will prevent any
real compromise
on the upcoming budget and
infrastructure deals
republicans are acting in good faith for
a responsible
traditional infrastructure bill with no
tax hikes
democrats won't go there because
of these folks on the left they want to
punish success tax the rich
redistribute income move towards the
proverbial
soviet-style bulgarian economic model
and of course those policies will wreck
our economy
just like the soviet model wrecked
eastern europe
and the cuban model is wrecking
venezuela today
am i blaming the squad for all this well
yes in large part because they have
become
the backbone of the far left
they are insufferable and in
democratic party terms seemingly
unstoppable
indeed i think they are destroying the
democratic party
but we will not let them ever
destroy america no matter what
