| 0:00.0 | All right. All right. I really want to show you the key excerpts of this debate that I had earlier today about the war and run on the Peers Morgan Show. |
| 0:23.8 | As many of you know, I avoid panels like the plague. |
| 0:27.3 | I almost always say no because it's just people screaming over each other, trying to get attention, |
| 0:31.8 | throwing poo at each other for the entertainment of the audience. |
| 0:33.8 | I just would rather not do it. |
| 0:35.7 | But when I heard that this panel was going to include |
| 0:38.5 | the former IDF spokesman Jonathan Cornicus, I immediately said yes along with him on the panel. |
| 0:47.6 | And myself was Anna Kasparian, who's become a very outspoken, inarticulate critic of Israel and |
| 0:53.0 | US support for it, as well as the former general |
| 0:56.2 | Mark Kennett, who's also served in an assistant secretary of state, didn't always agree with him. |
| 1:00.6 | But I really appreciated his candor about certain key aspects of this war, as you'll see. |

| 1:12.3 | U.S. and Israel to go fight a war and change the government of her country. So she can go back. |
| 1:17.3 | She's not really relevant to this particular discussion. So I'm just going to, that's the setting. |
| 1:22.1 | Now, the guest that they had on before the panel, and I didn't realize this when I said yes, |
| 1:27.8 | was former vice president, Mike Pence. And part of what I want to show you in the debate that I had involved my comments about Mike Pence. So I do just want to show you briefly, very briefly. I'm sorry to subject you to Mike Pence, but I had to endure him for almost 20 minutes of my ear. But I actually think it's worth it. Mike Pence is somebody who not only when he was in Congress voted for the Iraq War |
| 1:48.4 | and publicly advocated for the Iraq War for years after it was over. |
| 1:53.4 | He's one of the people in Washington who never bothered to apologize or admit that he was |
| 1:59.3 | wrong. |
| 1:59.7 | To this day, he believes the Iraq war was the |
| 2:01.7 | right thing to do. He became an outspoken supporter of President Obama's war in Libya as well, |
| 2:07.1 | yet another disaster. Obviously, the war in Afghanistan, yet another disaster all based on falsehoods |
