Summary

On Wednesday’s Mark Levin Show broadcasting from Israel, Ambassador David Friedman joins the program at the CBN studios in Jerusalem. Amb. Friedman says that the U.S stands much to benefit from such a strategic partnership with the State of Israel and its intelligence services. More Americans are alive today because of the intelligence-sharing between the U.S and the IDF/Mossad intelligence agencies. In fact, Bill Ford of the Ford Motor Company says that the high technology industry in Tel Aviv provides more flexibility than some tech hubs in the States. Then, Dore Gold, President of the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs joins Mark. Ancient Iran, or Persia, spanned a greater distance than their boundaries dictate today. Iran sees itself as a truncated version of its former self. Due to their commercial trading interests, Europeans turn a blind eye to Iran's ambition to lay claim to Syria, Bahrain, and many other territories. Therefore, the United States and Israel pose the greatest threat to Iran's aggression in the region primarily through proxy groups like Hezbollah. Afterward, being historically accurate is important. Whether it's being right about Betsy Ross and the flag or correcting Sen. Kamala Harris on bussing. People risk their lives to come to America as imperfect as it is. The fact is, is that neither Colin Kaepernick nor Kamala Harris have done anything to advance America with their divisive racialist rhetoric. The Declaration of independence and the U.S Constitution are documents that uphold the rights of the individual, all individuals, including African Americans. Kamala Harris’ surrogates are tripping over themselves on whether Harris is actually African-American. Even CNN's Dom Lemon understands this better than most Democrats. The left has become so dependent on the pigmentation of identity politics that they can't even keep it straight amongst themselves. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Ladies and gentlemen, the following segment of the podcast is presented exclusively by Hillsdale College.
0:06.0	Now, in its 175th year, Hillsdale is a truly independent institution, where learning is prized and intellectual enthusiasm is valued.
0:15.0	Thank you for listening and my sincere appreciation to Hillsdale for their sponsorship.
0:42.0	Hello, America. Mark Levin here broadcasting again from the state of Israel.
0:48.0	Tomorrow is July 4th. I'll be back Monday in the United States broadcasting from there, but right now I have a tremendous guest.
0:55.0	The United States ambassador to Israel, David Freeman, how are you, sir?
0:59.0	Mark, I'm great at greeting some Jerusalem.
1:03.0	Let's tell the American people a little bit about your background. Tell us your education, where you grew up and so forth.
1:10.0	I grew up on one island. I am the son of a really terrific rabbi who passed away about 20 years ago.
1:18.0	The greatest appointment of my career is that he didn't get the chance to see me serve as the ambassador to Israel.
1:24.0	He would have gotten a huge thrill from it, but he was a great man. He taught me a lot. He taught me to love Israel. He taught me to love America.
1:32.0	Together with my mother, they gave me a great foundation. They sent me to some pretty good schools. I've used college and law school.
1:42.0	I practiced love for 35 years. I got to know President Trump, and he was well. I mean, very well. He became friends. I know him 20 years.
1:52.0	He asked me to be the ambassador to Israel because, as he said to me, he wanted someone who would really solidify to a certain extent repair the relationship between the United States and Israel.
2:05.0	That's a very fast forward description.
2:10.0	I've got to know you're a good man. You're a great American patriot. You love the United States, and you love the alliance between America and Israel. This is something you're very focused on, and you've achieved with the President of the United States and others on his staff a great deal.
2:27.0	On a very short period of time. Why do you think that is?
2:31.0	I think the first thing is we have a courageous President. He's willing to make the right decisions. He's willing to live with the consequences.
2:41.0	You know, there's no risk-free decision in life. Everything you do has upside and downside.
2:48.0	Most leaders that I've witnessed get very nervous about downsides. They want to know that they can do something, and there'll be no consequences.
2:56.0	That's just not the way life works. The President is willing to assess the situation and make a decision. When it came to, we'll talk about this more, Jerusalem, or the Go on Heights, or the JCPOA, or any of the other important decisions he made with regard to Israel.
3:12.0	I think you recognize in all cases that there could be some blowback. There would be people that disagreed with him.
