- 00:02:18.761 --> 00:02:20.897
- They are.
- 00:02:20.897 --> 00:02:21.798
- We are seeing these families reunited.
- 00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:23.433
- We are seeing people that we feared were dead.
- 00:02:23.433 --> 00:02:26.336
- They are alive.
- 00:02:26.336 --> 00:02:27.737
- There are others that we just don't know yet.
- 00:02:27.737 --> 00:02:29.606
- But we're taking things one day at a time.
- 00:02:29.606 --> 00:02:31.174
- And i ask you to keep praying.
- 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:32.875
- One of the people released was the husband of aviva siegel,
- 00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:37.113
- Who's been on this program that i interviewed her.
- 00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:39.782
- You've seen me listen to her account
- 00:02:39.782 --> 00:02:42.685
- Of being taken hostage on october 7th with her husband,
- 00:02:42.685 --> 00:02:45.722
- Keith siegel, and her pleas that christians would keep praying,
- 00:02:45.722 --> 00:02:49.626
- That president trump would keep pressing,
- 00:02:49.626 --> 00:02:51.594
- And that, in fact,
- 00:02:51.594 --> 00:02:52.895
- Keith siegel, her husband of more than 40
- 00:02:52.895 --> 00:02:55.064
- Years, would be released.
- 00:02:55.064 --> 00:02:56.199
- He was released on saturday and was able to walk out
- 00:02:56.199 --> 00:02:59.802
- Without the help of a wheelchair.
- 00:02:59.802 --> 00:03:02.038
- Though he is, i would say, emaciated.
- 00:03:02.038 --> 00:03:04.874
- He has lost a lot of weight.
- 00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:06.075
- He was tortured and nearly starved,
- 00:03:06.075 --> 00:03:08.811
- But he is out
- 00:03:08.811 --> 00:03:09.812
- And we are rejoicing
- 00:03:09.812 --> 00:03:11.047
- And we've got more coverage on that on youtube
- 00:03:11.047 --> 00:03:13.583
- And we've got more coverage at all
- 00:03:13.583 --> 00:03:14.784
- Israel news on each of these hostages
- 00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:16.586
- That are coming out. and the dynamic.
- 00:03:16.586 --> 00:03:18.588
- So i encourage you to go to the youtube channel,
- 00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:21.324
- And i also encourage you
- 00:03:21.324 --> 00:03:22.859
- To go to all israel news to get up to speed on that.
- 00:03:22.859 --> 00:03:25.528
- Right now, what i want to do is walk you through,
- 00:03:25.528 --> 00:03:28.765
- The the meeting between trump and netanyahu,
- 00:03:28.765 --> 00:03:31.034
- The press conference they gave.
- 00:03:31.034 --> 00:03:32.335
- I want you to
- 00:03:32.335 --> 00:03:33.469
- I want to walk you through some of the major points,
- 00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:36.339
- And then we're going to go to this interview
- 00:03:36.339 --> 00:03:37.974
- To get to know who is, prime minister netanyahu is point
- 00:03:37.974 --> 00:03:41.077
- Man, to the united states, yechiel leiter.
- 00:03:41.077 --> 00:03:44.213
- I've known him for about 20 years,
- 00:03:44.213 --> 00:03:46.082
- When he was chief of staff for prime minister netanyahu,
- 00:03:46.082 --> 00:03:48.651
- When when netanyahu was actually finance minister
- 00:03:48.651 --> 00:03:50.887
- At the time and did an amazing job at leading through, sweeping
- 00:03:50.887 --> 00:03:55.692
- Free market reforms that really created
- 00:03:55.692 --> 00:03:57.894
- The economic juggernaut
- 00:03:57.894 --> 00:03:59.262
- That israel has become, the technology juggernaut.
- 00:03:59.262 --> 00:04:01.898
- And, it just very dramatic yechiel leiter was a key
- 00:04:01.898 --> 00:04:05.702
- Part of those reforms.
- 00:04:05.702 --> 00:04:07.303
- And we're going to get to his interview,
- 00:04:07.303 --> 00:04:08.738
- His message to americans, his message
- 00:04:08.738 --> 00:04:10.773
- To evangelicals in just a few minutes.
- 00:04:10.773 --> 00:04:12.575
- But first, let's take a moment and kind of walk through.
- 00:04:12.575 --> 00:04:15.144
- What are the key takeaways
- 00:04:15.144 --> 00:04:16.746
- In this week's dramatic meeting between trump and netanyahu?
- 00:04:16.746 --> 00:04:20.316
- We should go to other countries
- 00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:22.852
- Of interest with humanitarian hearts,
- 00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:25.154
- And there are many of them that want to do this.
- 00:04:25.154 --> 00:04:28.191
- And build various domains that will ultimately be occupied
- 00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:31.694
- By the 1.8 million palestinians living in gaza,
- 00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:35.798
- Ending the death and destruction.
- 00:04:35.798 --> 00:04:37.834
- And frankly, bad luck.
- 00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:39.268
- This can be paid for by neighboring countries
- 00:04:40.203 --> 00:04:42.472
- Of great wealth.
- 00:04:42.472 --> 00:04:43.773
- It could be one, two, three, four, five, seven, eight, 12.
- 00:04:43.773 --> 00:04:48.444
- It could be numerous sites, or it could be one large site.
- 00:04:48.444 --> 00:04:51.914
- But the people will be able to live in comfort and peace
- 00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:55.518
- And will get to will make sure something really
- 00:04:55.518 --> 00:04:58.921
- Spectacular is done. they're going to have peace.
- 00:04:58.921 --> 00:05:01.624
- They're not going to be
- 00:05:01.624 --> 00:05:03.926
- Shot at and killed and destroyed like this
- 00:05:03.926 --> 00:05:07.697
- Civilization of of wonderful people has had to endure.
- 00:05:07.697 --> 00:05:12.135
- The only reason the palestinians want to go back to
- 00:05:12.135 --> 00:05:15.438
- Gaza is they have no alternative.
- 00:05:15.438 --> 00:05:18.875
- It's right now a demolition site.
- 00:05:18.875 --> 00:05:20.643
- This is just a demolition site.
- 00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.678
- Virtually every building
- 00:05:22.678 --> 00:05:23.846
- Is down there living under fallen concrete.
- 00:05:23.846 --> 00:05:27.917
- That's very dangerous and very precarious.
- 00:05:27.917 --> 00:05:31.020
- They instead can occupy all of a beautiful area
- 00:05:31.020 --> 00:05:35.491
- With homes and safety, and they can live out
- 00:05:35.491 --> 00:05:37.794
- Their lives in peace and harmony instead of having to go back
- 00:05:37.794 --> 00:05:40.797
- And do it again.
- 00:05:40.797 --> 00:05:42.265
- The u.s.
- 00:05:42.265 --> 00:05:42.932
- Will take over the gaza strip,
- 00:05:42.932 --> 00:05:44.934
- And we will do a job with it, too.
- 00:05:44.934 --> 00:05:47.437
- We'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of
- 00:05:47.437 --> 00:05:50.873
- The dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
- 00:05:50.873 --> 00:05:54.744
- Level the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings.
- 00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:58.948
- Level it out.
- 00:05:58.948 --> 00:06:00.116
- Create an economic development that will supply unlimited
- 00:06:00.116 --> 00:06:03.753
- Numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.
- 00:06:03.753 --> 00:06:08.191
- Do a real job.
- 00:06:08.524 --> 00:06:09.725
- Do something different.
- 00:06:09.725 --> 00:06:10.860
- Just can't go back.
- 00:06:10.860 --> 00:06:11.894
- If you go back,
- 00:06:11.894 --> 00:06:13.029
- It's going to end up the same way it has for 100 years.
- 00:06:13.029 --> 00:06:16.466
- I'm hopeful that this cease fire could be the beginning
- 00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:19.335
- Of a larger and more enduring peace
- 00:06:19.335 --> 00:06:21.404
- That will end the bloodshed and killing once and for all,
- 00:06:21.404 --> 00:06:25.141
- With the same goal in mind, my administration
- 00:06:25.141 --> 00:06:27.577
- Has been moving quickly to restore trust in the alliance
- 00:06:27.577 --> 00:06:31.013
- And rebuild american strength throughout the region.
- 00:06:31.013 --> 00:06:33.983
- And we've really done that.
- 00:06:33.983 --> 00:06:35.184
- We're a respected nation again.
- 00:06:35.184 --> 00:06:37.553
- A lot's happened in the last couple of weeks.
- 00:06:37.553 --> 00:06:39.689
- We are actually a very respected nation.
- 00:06:39.689 --> 00:06:42.925
- Again,
- 00:06:42.925 --> 00:06:44.227
- I ended the last administration's de facto arms
- 00:06:44.227 --> 00:06:47.196
- Embargo on over $1 billion in military assistance for israel.
- 00:06:47.196 --> 00:06:52.735
- And i'm also pleased to announce that this afternoon,
- 00:06:52.735 --> 00:06:55.171
- The united states withdrew from the antisemitic u.n.
- 00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:58.307
- Human rights council and ended all of the support for the u.n.
- 00:06:58.307 --> 00:07:02.144
- Relief and works agency, which funneled money to hamas
- 00:07:02.144 --> 00:07:05.982
- And which was very disloyal to humanity.
- 00:07:05.982 --> 00:07:08.918
- Today.
- 00:07:08.918 --> 00:07:09.619
- I also took action to restore
- 00:07:09.619 --> 00:07:11.087
- A maximum pressure policy on the iranian regime,
- 00:07:11.087 --> 00:07:14.991
- And we will once again enforce
- 00:07:14.991 --> 00:07:16.492
- The most aggressive possible sanctions,
- 00:07:16.492 --> 00:07:18.895
- Drive iranian oil exports to zero, and diminish
- 00:07:18.895 --> 00:07:22.365
- The regime's capacity to fund terror
- 00:07:22.365 --> 00:07:25.067
- Throughout the region and throughout the world.
- 00:07:25.067 --> 00:07:27.803
- Thank you, mr. president.
- 00:07:27.803 --> 00:07:30.139
- I'm honored
- 00:07:30.473 --> 00:07:31.541
- That you invited me to be the first foreign leader
- 00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:35.144
- To visit the white house in your second term.
- 00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:38.648
- This is a testament to your friendship and support
- 00:07:38.648 --> 00:07:42.051
- For the jewish state and the jewish people.
- 00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:46.689
- I've said this before.
- 00:07:47.156 --> 00:07:49.158
- I'll say it again you are the greatest friend
- 00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:52.728
- Israel has ever had in the white house.
- 00:07:52.728 --> 00:08:00.102
- All right,
- 00:08:00.403 --> 00:08:01.637
- Really interesting developments between trump and netanyahu.
- 00:08:01.637 --> 00:08:03.973
- We'll do more on that next week.
- 00:08:03.973 --> 00:08:05.575
- And we'll do more coverage, of course, on the youtube
- 00:08:05.575 --> 00:08:07.743
- Channel and on all israel news.
- 00:08:07.743 --> 00:08:09.445
- There's a lot going on,
- 00:08:09.445 --> 00:08:11.013
- And we're just scratching the surface now.
- 00:08:11.013 --> 00:08:12.582
- But i want to shift now to my exclusive interview
- 00:08:12.582 --> 00:08:15.451
- With yechiel leiter, the new ambassador
- 00:08:15.451 --> 00:08:17.853
- From israel to the united states,
- 00:08:17.853 --> 00:08:19.589
- He hit the ground running with, welcoming his prime minister
- 00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:23.092
- And getting right into the thick of these conversations.
- 00:08:23.092 --> 00:08:25.962
- Congratulations on this post.
- 00:08:25.962 --> 00:08:27.863
- Well, thank you very much, joel.
- 00:08:27.863 --> 00:08:29.098
- It's good to be with you on the rosenberg report.
- 00:08:29.098 --> 00:08:30.967
- And i appreciate it very much. all right.
- 00:08:30.967 --> 00:08:32.201
- We got to clear out so people don't get,
- 00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:34.937
- Distracted.
- 00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:36.238
- You did have a little bit of, minor surgery.
- 00:08:36.238 --> 00:08:38.674
- On your forehead to, to remove a lesion.
- 00:08:38.674 --> 00:08:41.844
- Maybe that, could potentially be cancerous.
- 00:08:41.844 --> 00:08:44.680
- Right. so i'm glad that went well.
- 00:08:44.680 --> 00:08:46.983
- But, just me.
- 00:08:46.983 --> 00:08:47.950
- Are you feeling.
- 00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:48.918
- It just means that i've got skin in the game
- 00:08:48.918 --> 00:08:50.486
- With this new role as ambassador.
- 00:08:50.486 --> 00:08:51.954
- I appreciate it very much.
- 00:08:51.954 --> 00:08:54.357
- Okay.
- 00:08:54.357 --> 00:08:54.924
- There's a lot to cover.
- 00:08:54.924 --> 00:08:55.658
- I think
- 00:08:55.658 --> 00:09:00.196
- I want to start with
- 00:09:00.196 --> 00:09:01.397
- What's your message to the american people?
- 00:09:01.397 --> 00:09:04.200
- And i would say also, if you widen the aperture,
- 00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.136
- Specifically to the evangelical community.
- 00:09:07.136 --> 00:09:09.872
- Well, you know, joel,
- 00:09:09.872 --> 00:09:11.540
- When, david ben-gurion, the first prime minister
- 00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:13.843
- Of israel, came to the united nations
- 00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:17.313
- And made the claim for the return of the jewish
- 00:09:17.313 --> 00:09:19.915
- People to the land of israel, he came holding a bible.
- 00:09:19.915 --> 00:09:24.153
- And, he
- 00:09:24.387 --> 00:09:25.388
- Said, this is this is our this is our deed.
- 00:09:25.388 --> 00:09:28.524
- Yeah.
- 00:09:28.524 --> 00:09:30.426
- This is a dream that's come true.
- 00:09:30.426 --> 00:09:33.095
- We've remained loyal,
- 00:09:33.095 --> 00:09:35.464
- To the idea that the land of israel
- 00:09:35.464 --> 00:09:38.100
- And the people of israel belong together. and,
- 00:09:38.100 --> 00:09:42.505
- We've come home, we've built an incredible country.
- 00:09:42.505 --> 00:09:45.041
- Democracy in an area of the world
- 00:09:45.041 --> 00:09:47.043
- That hasn't seen too many democracies emerge.
- 00:09:47.043 --> 00:09:49.145
- We're very hopeful now that more will will emerge.
- 00:09:49.145 --> 00:09:52.682
- But, we've also created an economic powerhouse.
- 00:09:53.616 --> 00:09:56.385
- We have a greater gdp per capita today
- 00:09:56.385 --> 00:09:58.954
- Than many european countries
- 00:09:58.954 --> 00:10:00.256
- Who not too long ago were occupying,
- 00:10:00.256 --> 00:10:03.225
- The land of israel.
- 00:10:03.225 --> 00:10:05.261
- So, we've had huge successes, but we're also at the forefront
- 00:10:05.261 --> 00:10:09.865
- Of the battle of ideas together with the united states.
- 00:10:09.865 --> 00:10:13.469
- And i think prime minister netanyahu and president trump
- 00:10:13.469 --> 00:10:16.639
- Are on the same wavelength in this regard.
- 00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:19.075
- We're willing and able to say there's something called good
- 00:10:19.075 --> 00:10:22.912
- And there's something called evil, and we're going to
- 00:10:22.912 --> 00:10:26.515
- Adhere to the good, and we're going to fight the evil.
- 00:10:26.515 --> 00:10:29.285
- We're up against an enemy today
- 00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.388
- Intent on destroying us and intent on destroying
- 00:10:32.388 --> 00:10:35.357
- Not only us, but us as israel, as the beginning of destroying
- 00:10:35.357 --> 00:10:39.328
- Western civilization.
- 00:10:39.328 --> 00:10:40.563
- And that's the mullahs of tehran.
- 00:10:40.563 --> 00:10:43.899
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report,
- 00:10:44.767 --> 00:10:47.236
- Who exactly is israel's new ambassador to the united states
- 00:10:47.236 --> 00:10:51.040
- Yechiel leiter?
- 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:52.241
- What does he want from evangelicals?
- 00:10:52.241 --> 00:10:54.510
- And what's the terrible personal price that he has paid
- 00:10:54.510 --> 00:10:58.314
- In the gaza war?
- 00:10:58.314 --> 00:10:59.915
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:10:59.915 --> 00:11:03.319
- Right after the break.
- 00:11:03.319 --> 00:11:06.003
- Right after the break.
- 00:11:06.003 --> 00:11:09.358
- Who is israel's new ambassador to the united states?
- 00:11:10.392 --> 00:11:14.263
- New year, new president.
- 00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:16.465
- President trump, the most pro-israel president,
- 00:11:16.465 --> 00:11:20.336
- In us-israel history.
- 00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:22.338
- I've said that to him personally.
- 00:11:22.338 --> 00:11:24.807
- And i am fascinated with where
- 00:11:24.807 --> 00:11:27.810
- He wants to go in the next term.
- 00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:31.180
- But prime minister
- 00:11:31.180 --> 00:11:32.214
- Netanyahu has decided this would be the moment
- 00:11:32.214 --> 00:11:34.049
- To appoint a new ambassador
- 00:11:34.049 --> 00:11:35.985
- Dr. yechiel leiter is an academic.
- 00:11:35.985 --> 00:11:38.654
- He's a guy who's run think tanks.
- 00:11:38.654 --> 00:11:41.223
- He's he's a guy who's, who's a rabbi,
- 00:11:41.223 --> 00:11:44.794
- Orthodox rabbi.
- 00:11:45.161 --> 00:11:46.295
- He's a religious man.
- 00:11:46.295 --> 00:11:47.329
- He's a man of faith, a man of the bible.
- 00:11:47.329 --> 00:11:50.232
- He's also known prime minister netanyahu for about 30 years.
- 00:11:50.232 --> 00:11:53.536
- I've known him.
- 00:11:53.536 --> 00:11:54.370
- I first met him about 20 years ago,
- 00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:56.438
- And i'm very happy to have him here on the rosenberg report.
- 00:11:56.438 --> 00:11:59.208
- This is his first interview,
- 00:11:59.208 --> 00:12:00.643
- As i mentioned at the top of the show,
- 00:12:00.643 --> 00:12:02.244
- On any american or israeli news outlet.
- 00:12:02.244 --> 00:12:05.214
- So we want to get to know him.
- 00:12:05.214 --> 00:12:06.682
- And and i want to turn here now to the personal price
- 00:12:06.682 --> 00:12:10.085
- That you paid in this war.
- 00:12:10.085 --> 00:12:11.554
- This is not just theory to you
- 00:12:11.554 --> 00:12:13.189
- Or i mean, it's personal for all of us as israelis.
- 00:12:13.189 --> 00:12:16.792
- And by the way, i would say that you're also a do it.
- 00:12:16.792 --> 00:12:18.627
- Well, you were a dual u.s.
- 00:12:18.627 --> 00:12:19.829
- Israeli citizen, so you became a diplomat.
- 00:12:19.829 --> 00:12:22.064
- But, you were born in scranton, pennsylvania. so,
- 00:12:22.064 --> 00:12:26.569
- And you have
- 00:12:26.902 --> 00:12:27.870
- Maybe that and the loss of a son in common,
- 00:12:27.870 --> 00:12:31.240
- With outgoing president biden.
- 00:12:31.841 --> 00:12:35.144
- Could you talk about your son, moshe,
- 00:12:35.878 --> 00:12:39.748
- His service to the country and, and and his death and how
- 00:12:39.748 --> 00:12:42.918
- That is not only affected you, but why it has given you?
- 00:12:42.918 --> 00:12:46.488
- Why wouldn't you just fold and decide?
- 00:12:47.323 --> 00:12:49.491
- The last thing i want to do is be in a highly publicized,
- 00:12:49.491 --> 00:12:53.562
- Intense, potentially tense, role,
- 00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:57.166
- Maybe just want to be quiet and
- 00:12:57.166 --> 00:12:59.902
- And not be in the limelight.
- 00:12:59.902 --> 00:13:03.105
- You know, one thing i discovered, joel,
- 00:13:03.105 --> 00:13:05.541
- After my son was killed by hamas
- 00:13:05.541 --> 00:13:09.178
- In battle,
- 00:13:09.478 --> 00:13:12.147
- I realized that,
- 00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:14.383
- A parent that loses a child has to make a decision
- 00:13:14.383 --> 00:13:17.720
- Every morning, a new.
- 00:13:17.720 --> 00:13:20.656
- Do you fall
- 00:13:20.656 --> 00:13:23.259
- Or do you get up and start living again?
- 00:13:23.259 --> 00:13:26.228
- And it's not a one time decision.
- 00:13:26.228 --> 00:13:28.297
- It's a repeated decision.
- 00:13:28.297 --> 00:13:30.232
- And there's this
- 00:13:30.633 --> 00:13:31.767
- Little enzyme within you that kind of brings you down
- 00:13:31.767 --> 00:13:34.303
- And tells you to give up on life
- 00:13:34.303 --> 00:13:37.506
- And to be sad,
- 00:13:37.506 --> 00:13:40.843
- And not forge ahead with a constructive life.
- 00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:44.613
- And, you make the decision to live.
- 00:13:45.381 --> 00:13:48.884
- And that's what my son would have wanted.
- 00:13:48.884 --> 00:13:51.387
- And i feel him with me, you know, kind of on my shoulders.
- 00:13:51.387 --> 00:13:55.057
- We were very close.
- 00:13:55.524 --> 00:13:56.325
- He was not only my firstborn.
- 00:13:56.325 --> 00:13:57.860
- He was my best friend.
- 00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:59.795
- He was a very, very special, unique human being.
- 00:13:59.795 --> 00:14:02.298
- He spent 15 years in special ops, actually trained
- 00:14:02.298 --> 00:14:05.401
- Extensively with the delta force in the us.
- 00:14:05.401 --> 00:14:08.470
- And after 15 years in special ops in the air force,
- 00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:12.708
- He led operations that i still classified to this day.
- 00:14:12.708 --> 00:14:16.946
- I just know that they were,
- 00:14:16.946 --> 00:14:19.381
- Very, very brave.
- 00:14:19.815 --> 00:14:20.783
- Maybe. career roll from moment to breathe.
- 00:14:20.783 --> 00:14:23.018
- You'll get access to to learn more.
- 00:14:23.018 --> 00:14:25.587
- Yeah.
- 00:14:25.587 --> 00:14:26.555
- Most of these operations remain classified.
- 00:14:26.555 --> 00:14:28.924
- He was very, very brave.
- 00:14:28.924 --> 00:14:29.925
- That's what everybody, tells me.
- 00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:32.027
- Very courageous.
- 00:14:32.027 --> 00:14:33.162
- And he would always get his soldiers out of harm's way.
- 00:14:33.162 --> 00:14:37.766
- He always used to say,
- 00:14:38.233 --> 00:14:39.301
- I don't want anybody doing, any tremendous acts.
- 00:14:39.301 --> 00:14:43.172
- You know, rambo like, acts only when there's injured,
- 00:14:43.172 --> 00:14:45.641
- When there's
- 00:14:45.641 --> 00:14:46.976
- Wounded soldiers, that everybody becomes
- 00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:48.344
- A rambo and gets their wounded soldiers out.
- 00:14:48.344 --> 00:14:50.446
- And there were repeated incidents in this war
- 00:14:50.446 --> 00:14:53.215
- Where he, saved his soldiers lives.
- 00:14:53.215 --> 00:14:57.319
- You know, i feel him talking to me today
- 00:14:58.153 --> 00:15:00.522
- And telling me to continue with life,
- 00:15:00.522 --> 00:15:04.360
- And to focus on the important things that were important
- 00:15:04.360 --> 00:15:07.296
- To him.
- 00:15:07.296 --> 00:15:08.364
- After 15 years in special ops, he went to med school.
- 00:15:08.364 --> 00:15:10.699
- He was a 30, 30.
- 00:15:10.699 --> 00:15:11.834
- Something like he was supposed to was a doctor.
- 00:15:11.834 --> 00:15:13.602
- He wasn't his received his diploma.
- 00:15:13.602 --> 00:15:16.005
- And he was actually on october 8th,
- 00:15:16.005 --> 00:15:17.773
- He was scheduled to start rounds in a hospital, in tel aviv.
- 00:15:17.773 --> 00:15:22.478
- Yeah.
- 00:15:22.711 --> 00:15:23.879
- And he led, forces actually, he was the lead commander
- 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:27.349
- That led the forces into gaza.
- 00:15:27.349 --> 00:15:29.084
- You know, the forces enter in a kind of, pyramid fashion.
- 00:15:29.084 --> 00:15:32.354
- And he was the point commander.
- 00:15:32.354 --> 00:15:35.224
- And, he was
- 00:15:35.557 --> 00:15:38.660
- Really just a special, special human being.
- 00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:42.831
- Was prime minister
- 00:15:43.265 --> 00:15:44.333
- Netanyahu hesitant, therefore, to say,
- 00:15:44.333 --> 00:15:47.736
- If we've been friends for a long time,
- 00:15:48.570 --> 00:15:50.739
- I would like you to do this role.
- 00:15:50.739 --> 00:15:52.908
- Is that too much to ask?
- 00:15:52.908 --> 00:15:56.045
- He was very, very considerate.
- 00:15:56.045 --> 00:15:57.679
- There have been a number of, positions over the years,
- 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:01.083
- That he, asked me to take and,
- 00:16:01.083 --> 00:16:04.386
- I was, very hesitant to go back into government.
- 00:16:04.386 --> 00:16:06.855
- I spent time in government, in the ministry of education,
- 00:16:06.855 --> 00:16:09.258
- The ministry of transportation, the ministry of finance.
- 00:16:09.258 --> 00:16:12.728
- And i had enough of government.
- 00:16:12.728 --> 00:16:15.464
- But actually, because of my loss and
- 00:16:15.464 --> 00:16:19.334
- Because i want to forge ahead with life,
- 00:16:19.334 --> 00:16:23.205
- I did accept, his offer or his request,
- 00:16:24.006 --> 00:16:27.042
- Really, to serve as israeli ambassador to the united states.
- 00:16:27.042 --> 00:16:30.546
- So, as my son was the point, commander
- 00:16:30.546 --> 00:16:34.783
- For israel forces going against hamas, israel
- 00:16:34.783 --> 00:16:38.220
- As the point commander for western civilization.
- 00:16:38.220 --> 00:16:41.457
- And i think there's tremendous appreciation for that
- 00:16:41.457 --> 00:16:43.792
- On the part of the trump administration.
- 00:16:43.792 --> 00:16:45.794
- There's a clear understanding of that.
- 00:16:45.794 --> 00:16:47.596
- There is such a thing as as evil and evil has to be dealt with.
- 00:16:47.596 --> 00:16:52.000
- And i think there's appreciation for the fact that israel has,
- 00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:55.504
- Not asked for american boots on the ground.
- 00:16:55.504 --> 00:16:57.973
- Right, right.
- 00:16:57.973 --> 00:16:59.341
- We are.
- 00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:00.275
- We're the best ally the united states has.
- 00:17:00.275 --> 00:17:02.211
- Really, because we want support from the u.s.
- 00:17:02.211 --> 00:17:07.416
- And from our european friends.
- 00:17:07.416 --> 00:17:09.151
- We get a lot of support from our american friends,
- 00:17:10.152 --> 00:17:12.654
- Unfortunately, less so from our european friends.
- 00:17:12.654 --> 00:17:15.791
- We hope that'll change now, but the important thing is that
- 00:17:15.791 --> 00:17:20.796
- We are united in the effort
- 00:17:20.796 --> 00:17:24.066
- To fight the enemies of western.
- 00:17:24.066 --> 00:17:26.535
- Civilization and not just degrade.
- 00:17:26.535 --> 00:17:29.304
- We want to defeat right.
- 00:17:29.304 --> 00:17:31.473
- Coming up next on the rosenberg report.
- 00:17:32.341 --> 00:17:34.576
- What's the message that israel's new ambassador to the u.s.
- 00:17:34.576 --> 00:17:38.614
- Wants to send to evangelicals as he takes up his new role?
- 00:17:38.614 --> 00:17:42.351
- What does he want from evangelicals?
- 00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:44.386
- And how does the bible inform this orthodox jewish
- 00:17:44.386 --> 00:17:47.356
- Man's worldview?
- 00:17:47.356 --> 00:17:48.690
- Find out when the rosenberg report continues on tbn
- 00:17:48.690 --> 00:17:52.394
- Right after the break.
- 00:17:52.394 --> 00:17:55.002
- Right after the break.
- 00:17:55.002 --> 00:17:58.800
- Youâ–ˆre a rabbi,
- 00:17:59.168 --> 00:18:00.936
- As well as an ambassador, as well as, an academic and,
- 00:18:00.936 --> 00:18:04.573
- Someone who served in
- 00:18:05.073 --> 00:18:06.308
- Public office, in multiple posts here in israel.
- 00:18:06.308 --> 00:18:10.078
- How does the bible inform your own personal views
- 00:18:10.078 --> 00:18:13.882
- And how do you respond to the criticism?
- 00:18:13.882 --> 00:18:17.052
- Some of it very sharp.
- 00:18:17.052 --> 00:18:19.288
- That you're a radical settler, you're going to make it
- 00:18:19.288 --> 00:18:21.957
- More difficult to make peace with the saudis or whomever.
- 00:18:21.957 --> 00:18:25.294
- But let's start with what do you actually believe?
- 00:18:25.294 --> 00:18:27.095
- And, how do you navigate that,
- 00:18:27.095 --> 00:18:30.465
- In this new role of,
- 00:18:30.465 --> 00:18:32.568
- Israel point man to the united states?
- 00:18:32.568 --> 00:18:34.203
- Well, i'd ask you, joel.
- 00:18:34.203 --> 00:18:35.204
- I mean, how could it be that jews living in
- 00:18:35.204 --> 00:18:38.974
- Judea is a controversial idea?
- 00:18:38.974 --> 00:18:42.644
- I mean,
- 00:18:42.878 --> 00:18:44.112
- Is there anything more natural than where did you come from?
- 00:18:44.112 --> 00:18:46.982
- I mean, if you deny the right
- 00:18:46.982 --> 00:18:48.884
- Of us to judea, you deny our identity as jews.
- 00:18:48.884 --> 00:18:52.120
- So, i know that,
- 00:18:52.521 --> 00:18:55.424
- You don't. and the evangelicals
- 00:18:55.424 --> 00:18:57.292
- The evangelical community, the evangelical community
- 00:18:57.292 --> 00:19:00.128
- Gets it.
- 00:19:00.128 --> 00:19:00.996
- I mean, i've, i've, had the privilege
- 00:19:00.996 --> 00:19:04.533
- Of being involved in the renovation
- 00:19:04.533 --> 00:19:08.003
- And the restoration of the archeological sites of shiloh.
- 00:19:08.003 --> 00:19:11.807
- And i've seen the evangelical communities come to visit.
- 00:19:11.807 --> 00:19:14.610
- One of my beautiful temple sites to visit here in.
- 00:19:15.611 --> 00:19:17.879
- Israel. well, it's an it's an amazing site.
- 00:19:17.879 --> 00:19:20.849
- And i was insistent
- 00:19:20.849 --> 00:19:22.351
- That we don't just leave it as archeology,
- 00:19:22.351 --> 00:19:24.253
- But actually make it come alive again,
- 00:19:24.253 --> 00:19:26.221
- Because israel's come alive again.
- 00:19:26.221 --> 00:19:27.990
- And it means so much to,
- 00:19:27.990 --> 00:19:29.958
- People who appreciate the bible all over the world.
- 00:19:29.958 --> 00:19:32.461
- You know, look, i my doctorate is in political
- 00:19:32.461 --> 00:19:35.831
- Philosophy.
- 00:19:35.831 --> 00:19:36.765
- So, you know, i've studied
- 00:19:36.765 --> 00:19:37.899
- Political philosophy from the time of the bible,
- 00:19:37.899 --> 00:19:40.269
- And i've never used my rabbinical mantle at all.
- 00:19:40.269 --> 00:19:42.904
- I studied theology
- 00:19:42.904 --> 00:19:44.406
- Theology for eight years,
- 00:19:44.406 --> 00:19:45.440
- But i haven't practiced as a rabbi,
- 00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:46.908
- But i have practiced as an academic.
- 00:19:46.908 --> 00:19:49.144
- And, i can say that there's something
- 00:19:49.144 --> 00:19:51.847
- Very beautiful about the philosophy of the bible.
- 00:19:51.847 --> 00:19:55.050
- There is philosophy in the bible.
- 00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:56.785
- There is thinking in the bible,
- 00:19:56.785 --> 00:19:58.287
- There's rationality in the bible.
- 00:19:58.287 --> 00:20:00.455
- And it is necessary to,
- 00:20:00.455 --> 00:20:03.992
- Study philosophy alongside the oldest philosophy.
- 00:20:03.992 --> 00:20:07.562
- Really, from the time that abraham came
- 00:20:07.562 --> 00:20:09.464
- To these hills of judea and said, you know,
- 00:20:09.464 --> 00:20:12.534
- God creates man.
- 00:20:12.934 --> 00:20:14.002
- Man doesn't create god. it was a revolutionary idea.
- 00:20:14.002 --> 00:20:16.872
- And, it's been persistent throughout the ages.
- 00:20:16.872 --> 00:20:19.174
- And therefore man has. right and therefore man.
- 00:20:19.174 --> 00:20:21.009
- Has run from god.
- 00:20:21.009 --> 00:20:22.077
- Therefore there's therefore there's given by man.
- 00:20:22.077 --> 00:20:24.846
- Man has humans have autonomy, and they're in the image of god.
- 00:20:24.846 --> 00:20:28.850
- And how much has been lost over the ages in certain
- 00:20:28.850 --> 00:20:32.321
- Philosophies who have removed the image of god from humanity.
- 00:20:32.321 --> 00:20:36.024
- So i'm not embarrassed by that.
- 00:20:36.024 --> 00:20:37.926
- I have a clear identity.
- 00:20:37.926 --> 00:20:39.528
- I live in judah, and, i.
- 00:20:39.528 --> 00:20:42.097
- Think just outside of the fraught which,
- 00:20:42.097 --> 00:20:45.000
- Most evangelicals might not immediately
- 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:46.768
- Hear the term, but that's what's bethlehem ephrata of judea.
- 00:20:46.768 --> 00:20:49.871
- This is a specifically where king david was born and raised.
- 00:20:49.871 --> 00:20:53.342
- This, of course, where, the messiah,
- 00:20:53.342 --> 00:20:55.644
- According to the prophet micah, would be born and raised.
- 00:20:55.644 --> 00:20:59.181
- I believe that yeshua jesus is that you know what,
- 00:20:59.181 --> 00:21:02.050
- That little town of bethlehem, but that you live literally
- 00:21:02.050 --> 00:21:05.487
- In that in that little section of the world.
- 00:21:05.487 --> 00:21:08.323
- My oldest son,
- 00:21:08.323 --> 00:21:09.524
- Who we spoke about earlier, who was killed as he led forces
- 00:21:09.524 --> 00:21:12.461
- Into gaza, was the first child to be born in ancient hebron.
- 00:21:12.461 --> 00:21:16.832
- Is that right? hebron is.
- 00:21:16.832 --> 00:21:18.433
- The that's where. you lived before.
- 00:21:18.433 --> 00:21:19.601
- You lived before, right? right. and what's also judea?
- 00:21:19.601 --> 00:21:22.237
- Everyone's also judea.
- 00:21:22.237 --> 00:21:23.672
- But it's where abraham, isaac and jacob, sarah, rebecca
- 00:21:23.672 --> 00:21:26.174
- And lay are buried.
- 00:21:26.174 --> 00:21:28.276
- And that's where they lived.
- 00:21:28.276 --> 00:21:29.678
- And that's where this first
- 00:21:29.678 --> 00:21:30.645
- Idea of monotheism was echoed forth from.
- 00:21:30.645 --> 00:21:33.782
- So there's tremendous significance to that fact.
- 00:21:33.782 --> 00:21:36.685
- But i also like to emphasize
- 00:21:36.685 --> 00:21:38.186
- The the realpolitik aspect of that.
- 00:21:38.186 --> 00:21:41.790
- For the first
- 00:21:42.157 --> 00:21:43.358
- Half century, first half of the 20th century,
- 00:21:44.292 --> 00:21:47.162
- We had a paradigm called multi polarity.
- 00:21:47.162 --> 00:21:51.133
- That was the order of the world for the second half of the
- 00:21:51.133 --> 00:21:53.935
- 20th century.
- 00:21:53.935 --> 00:21:54.770
- We had the bipolar paradigm.
- 00:21:54.770 --> 00:21:57.672
- Us and soviet.
- 00:21:57.672 --> 00:21:58.607
- Us and soviet,
- 00:21:58.607 --> 00:22:01.343
- For the beginning of the 21st century,
- 00:22:01.343 --> 00:22:03.311
- We had the unipolar, paradigm and everybody's been searching.
- 00:22:03.311 --> 00:22:07.682
- Soviet union was gone the united states. yeah.
- 00:22:07.682 --> 00:22:08.884
- But but none of those paradigms worked very well, did they?
- 00:22:08.884 --> 00:22:11.453
- Because the multipolar system resulted in two world wars.
- 00:22:11.453 --> 00:22:15.424
- The bipolar system was a world divided on the threshold
- 00:22:15.424 --> 00:22:19.561
- Of a cold war. right.
- 00:22:19.561 --> 00:22:21.496
- And it was only it was only a nuclear showdown,
- 00:22:21.496 --> 00:22:24.299
- Which is only
- 00:22:24.299 --> 00:22:25.400
- Prevented through mad, mutually assured destruction.
- 00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:28.003
- We need a new paradigm now.
- 00:22:28.603 --> 00:22:30.439
- And i think that under president trump,
- 00:22:30.439 --> 00:22:32.707
- We're a very chaotic, chaotic world
- 00:22:32.707 --> 00:22:34.576
- Because we've stepped back from the unipolar moment.
- 00:22:34.576 --> 00:22:37.312
- But i think the president trump
- 00:22:37.312 --> 00:22:38.647
- Is going to introduce a new paradigm,
- 00:22:38.647 --> 00:22:41.082
- Which is going to be not mutually assured destruction,
- 00:22:41.082 --> 00:22:44.085
- But mac mutually assured construction.
- 00:22:44.085 --> 00:22:48.256
- I think he's going to have a very constructive approach
- 00:22:48.256 --> 00:22:50.358
- To international relations.
- 00:22:50.358 --> 00:22:51.693
- It's going to be a new paradigm, a new age,
- 00:22:51.693 --> 00:22:54.496
- And it's going to be,
- 00:22:54.496 --> 00:22:56.431
- Symbolized
- 00:22:56.731 --> 00:22:58.166
- By mac as opposed to interesting.
- 00:22:58.166 --> 00:23:01.036
- All right.
- 00:23:01.036 --> 00:23:02.003
- We're gonna have to pick up that thought.
- 00:23:02.003 --> 00:23:03.271
- But the last question just before we go,
- 00:23:03.271 --> 00:23:05.373
- And we've got to go in just a moment, but,
- 00:23:05.373 --> 00:23:07.809
- What do you need from evangelicals?
- 00:23:07.809 --> 00:23:09.077
- What does israel need from evangelicals?
- 00:23:09.077 --> 00:23:11.112
- And what do you need
- 00:23:11.112 --> 00:23:12.347
- As a new ambassador in a country of 60 million evangelicals?
- 00:23:12.347 --> 00:23:15.984
- We're not the majority, but we're influential.
- 00:23:15.984 --> 00:23:18.520
- Well, first of all, i would turn the question around and say,
- 00:23:18.520 --> 00:23:20.522
- What do you need from me?
- 00:23:20.522 --> 00:23:21.790
- What can i do for you?
- 00:23:21.790 --> 00:23:22.757
- I got a list. okay.
- 00:23:22.757 --> 00:23:23.892
- So so i first want to know what i can do.
- 00:23:23.892 --> 00:23:26.194
- What israel can do.
- 00:23:26.194 --> 00:23:27.496
- And we want to be there for you, okay?
- 00:23:27.496 --> 00:23:29.464
- We want to be there for you. what?
- 00:23:29.464 --> 00:23:31.833
- Evangelicals around the world can do in return?
- 00:23:31.833 --> 00:23:34.736
- Particularly the united states.
- 00:23:34.736 --> 00:23:35.971
- First of all, is visit.
- 00:23:35.971 --> 00:23:37.105
- You've got to come to visit to actually.
- 00:23:37.105 --> 00:23:38.807
- Time to come back?
- 00:23:38.807 --> 00:23:39.841
- It's time to come. yeah, yeah.
- 00:23:39.841 --> 00:23:41.843
- Come back. walk in the footsteps.
- 00:23:41.843 --> 00:23:43.445
- I mean, be here. walk through the biblical
- 00:23:43.445 --> 00:23:45.514
- Homeland, feel and experience it.
- 00:23:45.514 --> 00:23:48.250
- Come to army
- 00:23:48.250 --> 00:23:49.084
- Bases, meet with our soldiers, meet
- 00:23:49.084 --> 00:23:50.552
- With the people who have risked their lives
- 00:23:50.552 --> 00:23:52.854
- In order to free hostages in order to secure israel
- 00:23:52.854 --> 00:23:55.624
- And to secure western civilization.
- 00:23:55.624 --> 00:23:57.659
- And, of course, in the united states,
- 00:23:57.659 --> 00:24:00.295
- Try to,
- 00:24:00.529 --> 00:24:01.463
- You know, fight back against this tsunami,
- 00:24:01.463 --> 00:24:05.200
- Of anti-israel propaganda which has taken over campuses,
- 00:24:05.200 --> 00:24:08.870
- Which is taking over much of the media.
- 00:24:08.870 --> 00:24:10.972
- It's propaganda. it's
- 00:24:10.972 --> 00:24:14.876
- Lies, an avalanche of lies, avalanche of lies.
- 00:24:14.876 --> 00:24:18.313
- We're familiar with that in regard to other issues
- 00:24:18.313 --> 00:24:22.651
- As well.
- 00:24:22.651 --> 00:24:23.552
- Israel is at the, unfortunately
- 00:24:23.552 --> 00:24:26.321
- Has been sacrificed in this,
- 00:24:26.321 --> 00:24:30.358
- War of lies.
- 00:24:30.692 --> 00:24:32.794
- And, it's very important
- 00:24:32.794 --> 00:24:35.263
- That lovers of zion and,
- 00:24:35.263 --> 00:24:39.200
- Of the evangelical beauty stand up against this
- 00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:42.637
- This attempt to delegitimize and degrade
- 00:24:43.505 --> 00:24:46.441
