  • The first that the new israeli ambassador, yechiel leiter
  • 00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:41.491
  • Has given to any american or israeli television network.
  • 00:01:41.491 --> 00:01:44.460
  • I recorded that with him just before
  • 00:01:44.460 --> 00:01:47.063
  • He came to washington to take up his position.
  • 00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:49.265

  • Of the national prayer breakfast events this week and to cover

  • Prime minister netanyahu's visit.
  • 00:01:54.370 --> 00:01:55.838
  • So we're going to get to that in a moment.
  • 00:01:55.838 --> 00:01:57.607
  • But first,
  • 00:01:57.607 --> 00:01:58.808
  • Again, these dramatic images, the emotions of israelis,
  • 00:01:58.808 --> 00:02:03.479
  • Welcoming back, we're up to now 18 hostages
  • 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:06.549
  • That have been released as part of this
  • 00:02:06.549 --> 00:02:08.451
  • First phase of this dramatic, historic
  • 00:02:08.451 --> 00:02:12.222
  • But controversial deal between israel and hamas
  • 00:02:12.222 --> 00:02:15.225
  • Brokered by the united states, qatar and egypt.
  • 00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:18.761
  • So israelis are emotional.
  • 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

  • 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.
