Fight for Congress: Hugh Hewitt and Dan Balz

Townhall Review  - April 20, 2024

Hugh Hewitt discusses the unprecedented attack from Iran on Israel last Saturday, all set in motion by the Biden administration's failed appeasement strategy.

Speaker Mike Johnson, while on the Salem Podcast Network's “This Week on the Hill,” talks about the lack of support for Israel from Democrats and the Biden Administration.

Larry O'Connor points out how Biden's foreign policy, which can be summed up in one word, "don't" not only isn't working, but is a foolhardy invitation for more armed conflict.

Hugh Hewitt and Cliff May of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies point out how the lack of Israeli and American deterrence explains the escalation we’ve seen from Iran in recent days.

Hewitt turns to retired Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery, also with the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, to talk about the military capabilities of Iran

Iran, Israel and a New Era in the Middle East

The Iranian regime attacked Israel on Saturday with over 300 drones, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Most Americans were horrified by the news. They would have been appalled to realize that America has effectively funded these drones and missiles that rained down on our closest Middle Eastern ally, thanks to the disastrous Obama/Biden Iran policy.

The Obama deal with Iran did nothing to curb its long-term nuclear ambitions. And: It did provide Iran with billions in sanctions relief. After Biden came into office, the nuclear deal was resurrected, with billions more in sanctions relief funneled to Iran. By October 7 of last year, sanctions relief to Iran had totaled more than 50 billion dollars.

That can buy plenty of drones and missiles.

It’s time for the Biden administration to do what’s right—and stop appeasing the enemies of our country and its allies.

Carol Platt Liebau: Time to Stop the Appeasement

The Middle East has long been one of the most volatile places on planet Earth.

I mention it, of course, because of Iran’s recent attack on Israel.

Now the good news is this: This massive attack upon Israel was largely ineffectual.

But the fact remains: This was a direct attack upon Israel by the Islamic Republic of Iran. It was not undertaken by Iran through a proxy state or a proxy force, through shadow armies and shadow armed forces, shadow terrorist organizations—no this was Iran as Iran attacking Israel.

And: It was a massive attack. By American estimations, there were about 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles, and about 30 cruise missiles that were sent with high explosives. 

History is right now developing before our eyes.

We are moving thus into a different historical epoch—when Iran has directly attacked Israel. 

Yes: Israel must respond. And our nation should fully support them as they do.
