up i mean to the point where there's actual video of cubany youtube stars being picked up like they'll literally be on the air doing spanish tv and the cuban authorities will arrive and literally just arrest them while they are on the air for the great sin of dissenting from the communist authoritarian regime over there here's a little bit of tape this happened yesterday this woman named dina stars she's apparently some sort of youtube star and the authorities are showing up to arrest her and she is now being taken away by the cuban authorities so good times over there um the the cuban crackdown is not unexpected this is what has happened with regards to every dissident movement in cuba in latin america in central america that is directed against a communist authoritarian regime obviously we saw just a couple of years ago when millions of people were in the streets in venezuela and yet the venezuelan communist regime continued to maintain its power by cracking down on people who were dissenting now meanwhile i have to say that the left's perspective on this is absolutely astonishing the left in america because for people who really say that what they want is denmark or norway they have a really tough time simply condemning communism they have a really rough time saying that these regimes are evil and bad i think bernie sanders a couple of days to comment when he did comment he read directly from the howard's in playbook where he talked about how it was really the united states embargo that was the problem in cuba and now you have black lives matter sounding off the movement now let me remind you black lives matter is a semantically overloaded term there are some people who when they say black lives matter mean the perfectly obvious thing which is that black lives matter just like every life matters and black people should not be targeted by the police more than anybody else should be targeted by the police right that's perfectly obvious but the black lives matter organization which is ricked in tens of millions of dollars and fostered not just protests but riots in cities around the united states and is run by open communists they put out it's just a garbage organization it's been a garbage organization since it was it was founded in in the mid 2010s and it's its founders are openly marxist in orientation meanwhile skimming off the top presumably or allegedly in order to go buy themselves really really nice houses in tobago canyon so black lives matter the organization which remember you had corporations donating millions of dollars to yet people posting black squares in support of the organization not just the generalized idea in favor of the organization this organization is a garbage co a garbage communist organization so far when it comes to world issues they have supported the the hamas terrorists in the gaza war and now they support the communist cuban regime and it is telling here is what they say quote black lives matter condemns the us federal government inhumane treatment of cubans now you may have noticed that the u.s federal government does not actually run cuba and they're not the people arresting youtube stars or shooting people in the streets black lives matter condemns the u.s federal government's inhumane treatment of cubans and urges it to immediately lift the economic embargo this cruel and inhumane policy instituted with the explicit intention of destabilizing the country and undermining cubans right to choose their own government is at the heart of cuba's current crisis since 1962 the united states has forced pain and suffering on the people of cuba by cutting off food medicine and supplies costing the tiny island nation an estimated 130 billion dollars so you see it's all the fault of the united states amazing it's all the fault of the united states according to black lives matter because according to black lives matter the west is always wrong according to the black lives matter organization the organization that millions tens of millions of americans marched with last year this uh according to this organization america is a terrible place and is responsible for all the world's elders why would you trust them when it comes to the cops why would you trust them when it comes to the systems of power in the united states why would you trust them with regard to anything they're a communist group period end of story and here they are repeating communist propaganda my favorite part of this particular paragraph is where they say the united states has been undermining cuba's right to choose its own government you know what really undermines cubans rights issues their own government the fact that they haven't held a vote since 1962. they didn't in 1962 either okay so it's been six decades since the cuban revolution and the uh and the communist regime there has never allowed a free and fair election and black lives matter is saying the united states is denying them the right to choose their own government because blm again is a garbage organization i can't say it too many times let me reiterate say it real slowly for those of you who are having a tough time black lives matter the organization is garbage should be condemned and no responsible person should be associated with it blm continues without that money it is harder for cuba to acquire medical equipment needed to develop its own coven-19 vaccines and equipment for food production this comes in spite of the country's strong medical care and history of lending doctors and nurses to disasters around the world uh it wouldn't be complete statement without a bit of propagandizing on behalf of the cuban healthcare system which by the way is so lacking the cuban healthcare system they couldn't get coven-19 vaccines into the arms of people in cuba says blm the people of cuba are being punished by the us government because the country has maintained its commitment to sovereignty and self-determination yes nothing says sovereignty and self-determination quite like throwing tens of thousands of people over the years in prison forcing people to float in jerry-rigged canoes basically across a hundred miles of shark-infested ocean to get to florida self-determine it sounds like self-determination when you don't allow anybody to vote ever it's it's it really is it's amazing levels of self-determination here blm says united states leaders have tried to crush this revolution for decades instead of international amity respecting goodwill the us government has only instigated suffering for the country's 11 million people of which four million are black and brown uh there it is it's because the us is racist of course because everything comes down to racism for black lives matter remember the crossover between the the racial reckoning that we are having via groups like blm and the full-on marxist agenda of many of these groups is very heavy indeed in the same way the critical racial theory is very much connected to the idea that the institutions of capitalism and individual rights have to be torn down derek bell was very clear about this in his own writings says black lives matter cuba has historically demonstrated solidarity with oppressed people of african descent okay if by that they mean that cuba has shipped troops to places in africa to help establish communist regimes there and kill black people in defense of those communist regimes that would be correct from protecting black revolutionaries like assata shakur through granting her asylum to supporting black liberation struggles in angola mozambique guinea-bissau and south africa unbelievable but totally believable now we look to president biden to end the embargo something barack obama called for in 2016. this embargoes a blatant human rights violation and it must come to an end now why bother reading the entire blm statement because blm the organization is not dissociated from the generalized democratic party they are not the democratic party still refuses to condemn blm as an organization it's leaders still hobnob with blm and it is not a coincidence that this administration the bite administration is having an extremely tough time speaking moral words about what is happening in cuba right now for example shinsaki was asked yesterday whether the biden administration would put out a statement condemning communism right now would seem a good time now the bible administration has taken the tactic of attempting to minimize what is going on in cuba they say that the current cuban unrest that the the massive protests in the streets are not driven by cuban communism per se instead they are driven by something else they are driven by mismanagement right it's the mismanagement that's the problem if the communists were just good managers then everything would be fine but the communists are bad managers and so it's a little bit bad but it has nothing to do with communism per se so here is gensake being asked about condemning communism and shying away from it do you think that people are leaving cuba because they don't like communism i think we've been pretty clear that we think people are leaving cuba or not leaving cuba or protesting in the streets all as well because they are opposed to the oppression to the mismanagement of the government in the country and we certainly support their rights of protests we support their efforts to speak out against their treatment in cuba hmm i'm noticing a word missing there oppression and mismanagement if it weren't for the oppression mismanagement communism it's a beautiful idea she's never worked in in practice guys that's that's it true communism has never been tried if only they could just get rid of the oppression and mismanagement that would solve it and then she's asked again like so are you guys gonna put out a statement condemning communism at any point here yeah well we hear from the president this week he said the other day that he would speak out on that and and secondly is is his position still that he feels that the trump policies were a failure it didn't affect change is that still his policy well again i would say one in terms of whether he heal from him he says that often as you know and what he means is he speaks out publicly nearly every day at events sometimes you all ask questions if there's an update to provide on what we're doing on what our policies are certainly he'll provide that is there a planned speech or trip not at this time there's no planned speech or trip again it's amazing how hard a time the left the squad even the mainstream democratic party has simply saying communism is evil and back in the 1960s the democratic party didn't have any problems saying communism was evil but then something turned and the sort of soft fellow traveler sensibility that bernie sanders carries around with regard to communist regimes has infused large swaths of the democratic party and it's quite awful and it's quite disgusting and it demonstrates once again that domestically speaking the people who believe in the basic tenets of marxism which is that the united states is a class struggle which has never been historically true in the united states the united states is not about class in the same way that europe was about class that are not these are sort of hard and fast classes from which people can never move but the the folks who purport to say that this is what america is all about they are they are completely unwilling to condemn actual oppression by communists on a global scale and this does go back to the cold war when the left in the united states played ftse with communist regimes throughout the world and refused to condemn them throughout the 70s and 80s particularly apparently not very much has changed which is uh pretty shocking by the way it is there is a reminder to be had here that barack obama and his administration were quite friendly to the cuban regime you'll recall that you traveled to cuba but he hung out with raul castro he held hands with the guy he went to a baseball game with him and then he prays the cuban dictator it so nothing new under the sun i said this to president castro in cuba i said look you've made great progress in educating uh chil uh young people every child in cuba gets a basic education that's that's a huge improvement from where it was medical care you know the the life expectancy of cubans is equivalent to the united states despite it being a very poor country because they have access to health care that's a huge achievement they should be congratulated oh well and then amazing they should they should be congratulated the cubans for for you know having been dominated by a communist regime for quite a while why does the left have such a tough time with us why they have such a tough time condemning an actual communist dictatorship i think the answer is fairly obvious they have a lot of sympathy for the ideas that undergird the communist dictatorship that would be the only rationale for why they are having such a tough time with this one this is not a hard one forget about the sort of policy prescriptions here the moral statement that communism is a great evil should not be tough and yet for a lot of folks apparently it really really is i will say i think my favorite media take on this over the last couple of days there's a take from reuters here is the the headline quote cuban protests risk exacerbating a covet 19 spike so we are now back to the 2020 headlines where and if you gather to protest lottie and you're going to spread covet but if you gathered to dance in defense of george floyd then you're definitely not going to spread covet all i can say is communism is a public health crisis just like racism supposedly a public health crisis communism in cuba is much more of a public health crisis than racism in the united states has been for quite a long time alrighty in just one second we'll get to the biden administration's policy with regards to cuban refugees which is quite shocking and at odds with many other things they've said about refugees from other parts of the world first let's talk about a great gift you can get for yourself or for your parents something really important so out in your garage right now you got a bunch

legacybox.com shapiro okay so meanwhile the biden administration is making one thing very clear that if cubans attempt to float their way off the island they will be turned back and they will be sent back to cuba now the the biden administration has changed its tune a little bit when it comes to people coming to the united states border right only in the past few weeks have they started to say things like don't don't show up at the southern border but for months the message was don't show up like right now but if you do show up we're not going to hold you in a third-party country like mexico remember they attempted to walk back the trump agreement with the mexican government that would allow people applying for asylum to be sheltered in mexico or to stay in mexico while they apply for asylum the bite administration wanted to walk that back and allow people to come to the united states and then essentially be released into the interior pending their asylum hearing the biden administration made very clear before biden even took office that they were going to be very pro-open borders they were not going to strictly enforce immigration law and that if you showed up at the border that you would probably be released into the interior but when it comes to the cubans different story you know people who seem to have a pretty good asylum claim and these are not folks who are fleeing because they're they're lacking a job these are not folks who are fleeing because of economic circumstance these are people who are fleeing communist depression so much so that they're not braving a walk or a train ride or even a uh coyote smuggling across the american border they are literally getting in boats with leaks and attempting to float their way via the tides to florida through shark infested waters and according to the bite administration well now they're getting tough on immigration weird how they get real tough on immigration when it comes to cuban populations presumably because those cuban populations if they enter the united states and receive asylum and eventually become citizens are more likely to vote republican than people who are crossing the southern border of the united states that's the only logical reason i can think of for the distinction between how the biden administration is treating in rhetoric cuban refugees who are seeking asylum and syrian refugees who saw asylum during the trump administration or honduran refugees who are seeking asylum largely based on economic circumstance during the during the trump and biden administration here's jen saki being very harsh with with cubans who are attempting to flee the way to come to the united states is not uh through uh through uh processes of trying to come to the border uh that without going through an asylum process or coming by sea uh without going through an asylum application process uh there are certainly uh programs uh that through which that some of them have been uh have not been reinstated i should say uh that were in place put in place by the uh trump administration that are being reviewed as he said yesterday that would apply to uh the individuals and people of haiti and the people of cuba as well alejandro mayorkas is the current head of the department of homeland security and who himself is a cuban refugee immigrant right his family at fled cuba when he was a child and he says same thing he says if you get in a boat and you try to float your way to cuba we're going to turn you back and we'll probably send you back to cuba allow me to be clear if you take to the sea you will not come to the united states the time is never right to attempt migration i see to those who risk their lives doing so this risk is not worth taking again i repeat do not risk your life attempting to enter the united states illegally you will not come to the united states okay no uh i i again i'm noticing a wide gap between the level of rhetoric being used currently with regard to cuban refugees and the river accused say three months ago with regard to people who are attempting to cross the mexican border illegally a wide gap now i'm not even saying that the policy of having people held in third-party countries while they await asylum hearings for cuban refugees for example is wrong i'm not making a case for wetfoot dry foot which was the policy for many years in the united states whereby if a cuban refugee set foot on american land then they could be granted asylum at least while they were having their asylum claims pending and if they were captured by water like the coast guard picked them off 10 10 feet off the shore then they were immediately returned to their home country i'm not making the case that that should be the policy the case that i am making here is not a policy one the point that i'm making is that the the biden administration seems a lot more troubled by cuba by cuban cuban refugees seeking a place in the united states than they are by people from nearly anywhere else and i find that somewhat interesting why why could it have to do with the politics of the people fleeing could it that's it on a policy level it seems to me that if you're fleeing communism the united states should be a logical place for you to go because you're coming from a country that has in place ideas antithetical to those of the united states founding and we should welcome you with open arms we need more people who hate communism here in the united states we need more people from hong kong who understand the the evils of communism to come to the united states and bring their entrepreneurship and bring their belief in individual rights here to the united states we need more people from cuba who understand the evils of communism in the united states and i do think that we should take into account the values of people who are coming to the united states when we determine if they should become american citizens i don't think everybody has an equal claim to be an american citizen i think the administration feels the same way i think that very often they feel the same way in reverse in just one second we'll get to the biden administration's policies with regard to iran again it seems like the the appeasement orientation of this administration with regard to foreign policy is quite obvious and it is very obama-esque never let reality get in the way of your ideological commitment to american appeasement and surrender if you have to you know make nice with the cuban dictatorship to the point where you kind of in wishy-washy fashion condemn what they're doing but you won't condemn communism then you do it and if you continue to negotiate with the iranian regime which is a a fascistic theocracy that oppresses its own people even while the iranian regime is attempting to kidnap american citizens this be speaks an administration that is not committed to american ideals it is an administration committed to certain appeasement orientation on the foreign stage we'll get some more of that in just one moment first let us talk about a simple fact if you're going to the post office you're

kidnap an iranian-american and again remember when it was the saudis doing this to uh to jamal khashoggi a person who had a visa in the united states this was an international story they kidnapped this guy and killed him khashoggi this turned into an international relations crisis when the iranians attempt to kidnap an iranian american the biden administration basically just blows it off unsealed documents from federal court have now charged for iranian interoperable operatives for a conspiracy to kidnap a woman named masih ala nashad a human rights activist who fled around in 2009 and is a critic of the nation's regime this is according to mediaite jensaki was was asked about all of this and she condemned the iranian kidnapping plot but in in rather tepid terms we categorically condemn iran's dangerous and despicable reported plot to kidnap a u.s citizen on u.s soil we will forcefully defend u.s citizens and u.s interests that includes law enforcement actions like the one announced yesterday as well as the actions the president has taken to defend u.s forces in the region from iranian-backed militant groups it also includes our diplomatic effort to constrain iran's nuclear program one of our most important and urgent actions that's the part where it starts to get tepid in the wild so yes we condemn it's despicable it's terrible it's also we need to make a deal we need to cut a nuclear deal with the iranians very important to cut that nuclear deal you know just because they kidnap american citizens we should definitely make sure to relieve some sanctions on them according to the washington free beacon the state department informed congress late on tuesday it would wave sanctions on iran's illicit oil trade so the country can access frozen funds from south korea and japan that is the same day the doj announced charges on an iranian spy network that sought to kidnap an american the waiver signed by secretary of state anthony blinken allows the transfer of iranian funds in restricted accounts to exporters in japan and the republic of korea according to a notification sent to congress by the state department the waiver allows iranian money frozen as a result of american sanctions to be freed up without violating the law so good news the iranian administration is uh trying to kidnap americans and

put out a statement condemning communism right now would seem a good time now the bible administration has taken the tactic of attempting to minimize what is going on in cuba they say that the current cuban unrest that the the massive protests in the streets are not driven by cuban communism per se instead they are driven by something else they are driven by mismanagement right it's the mismanagement that's the problem if the communists were just good managers then everything would be fine but the communists are bad managers and so it's a little bit bad but it has nothing to do with communism per se so here is gensake being asked about condemning communism and shying away from it do you think that people are leaving cuba because they don't like communism i think we've been pretty clear that we think people are leaving cuba or not leaving cuba or protesting in the streets all as well because they are opposed to the oppression to the mismanagement of the government in the country and we certainly support their rights of protests we support their efforts to speak out against their treatment in cuba hmm i'm noticing a word missing there oppression and mismanagement if it weren't for the oppression mismanagement communism it's a beautiful idea she's never worked in in practice guys that's that's it true communism has never been tried if only they could just get rid of the oppression and mismanagement that would solve it and then she's asked again like so are you guys gonna put out a statement condemning communism at any point here yeah well we hear from the president this week he said the other day that he would speak out on that and and secondly is is his position still that he feels that the trump policies were a failure it didn't affect change is that still his policy well again i would say one in terms of whether he heal from him he says that often as you know and what he means is he speaks out publicly nearly every day at events sometimes you all ask questions if there's an update to provide on what we're doing on what our policies are certainly he'll provide that is there a planned speech or trip not at this time there's no planned speech or trip again it's amazing how hard a time the left the squad even the mainstream democratic party has simply saying communism is evil and back in the 1960s the democratic party didn't have any problems saying communism was evil but then something turned and the sort of soft fellow traveler sensibility that bernie sanders carries around with regard to communist regimes has infused large swaths of the democratic party and it's quite awful and it's quite disgusting and it demonstrates once again that domestically speaking the people who believe in the basic tenets of marxism which is that the united states is a class struggle which has never been historically true in the united states the united states is not about class in the same way that europe was about class that are not these are sort of hard and fast classes from which people can never move but the the folks who purport to say that this is what america is all about they are they are completely unwilling to condemn actual oppression by communists on a global scale and this does go back to the cold war when the left in the united states played ftse with communist regimes throughout the world and refused to condemn them throughout the 70s and 80s particularly apparently not very much has changed which is uh pretty shocking by the way it is there is a reminder to be had here that barack obama and his administration were quite friendly to the cuban regime you'll recall that you traveled to cuba but he hung out with raul castro he held hands with the guy he went to a baseball game with him and then he prays the cuban dictator it so nothing new under the sun i said this to president castro in cuba i said look you've made great progress in educating uh chil uh young people every child in cuba gets a basic education that's that's a huge improvement from where it was medical care you know the the life expectancy of cubans is equivalent to the united states despite it being a very poor country because they have access to health care that's a huge achievement they should be congratulated oh well and then amazing they should they should be congratulated the cubans for for you know having been dominated by a communist regime for quite a while why does the left have such a tough time with us why they have such a tough time condemning an actual communist dictatorship i think the answer is fairly obvious they have a lot of sympathy for the ideas that undergird the communist dictatorship that would be the only rationale for why they are having such a tough time with this one this is not a hard one forget about the sort of policy prescriptions here the moral statement that communism is a great evil should not be tough and yet for a lot of folks apparently it really really is i will say i think my favorite media take on this over the last couple of days there's a take from reuters here is the the headline quote cuban protests risk exacerbating a covet 19 spike so we are now back to the 2020 headlines where and if you gather to protest lottie and you're going to spread covet but if you gathered to dance in defense of george floyd then you're definitely not going to spread covet all i can say is communism is a public health crisis just like racism supposedly a public health crisis communism in cuba is much more of a public health crisis than racism in the united states has been for quite a long time alrighty in just one second we'll get to the biden administration's policy with regards to cuban refugees which is quite shocking and at odds with many other things they've said about refugees from other parts of the world first let's talk about a great gift you can get for yourself or for your parents something really important so out in your garage right now you got a bunch

back to cuba now the the biden administration has changed its tune a little bit when it comes to people coming to the united states border right only in the past few weeks have they started to say things like don't don't show up at the southern border but for months the message was don't show up like right now but if you do show up we're not going to hold you in a third-party country like mexico remember they attempted to walk back the trump agreement with the mexican government that would allow people applying for asylum to be sheltered in mexico or to stay in mexico while they apply for asylum the bite administration wanted to walk that back and allow people to come to the united states and then essentially be released into the interior pending their asylum hearing the biden administration made very clear before biden even took office that they were going to be very pro-open borders they were not going to strictly enforce immigration law and that if you showed up at the border that you would probably be released into the interior but when it comes to the cubans different story you know people who seem to have a pretty good asylum claim and these are not folks who are fleeing because they're they're lacking a job these are not folks who are fleeing because of economic circumstance these are people who are fleeing communist depression so much so that they're not braving a walk or a train ride or even a uh coyote smuggling across the american border they are literally getting in boats with leaks and attempting to float their way via the tides to florida through shark infested waters and according to the bite administration well now they're getting tough on immigration weird how they get real tough on immigration when it comes to cuban populations presumably because those cuban populations if they enter the united states and receive asylum and eventually become citizens are more likely to vote republican than people who are crossing the southern border of the united states that's the only logical reason i can think of for the distinction between how the biden administration is treating in rhetoric cuban refugees who are seeking asylum and syrian refugees who saw asylum during the trump administration or honduran refugees who are seeking asylum largely based on economic circumstance during the during the trump and biden administration here's jen saki being very harsh with with cubans who are attempting to flee the way to come to the united states is not uh through uh through uh processes of trying to come to the border uh that without going through an asylum process or coming by sea uh without going through an asylum application process uh there are certainly uh programs uh that through which that some of them have been uh have not been reinstated i should say uh that were in place put in place by the uh trump administration that are being reviewed as he said yesterday that would apply to uh the individuals and people of haiti and the people of cuba as well alejandro mayorkas is the current head of the department of homeland security and who himself is a cuban refugee immigrant right his family at fled cuba when he was a child and he says same thing he says if you get in a boat and you try to float your way to cuba we're going to turn you back and we'll probably send you back to cuba allow me to be clear if you take to the sea you will not come to the united states the time is never right to attempt migration i see to those who risk their lives doing so this risk is not worth taking again i repeat do not risk your life attempting to enter the united states illegally you will not come to the united states okay no uh i i again i'm noticing a wide gap between the level of rhetoric being used currently with regard to cuban refugees and the river accused say three months ago with regard to people who are attempting to cross the mexican border illegally a wide gap now i'm not even saying that the policy of having people held in third-party countries while they await asylum hearings for cuban refugees for example is wrong i'm not making a case for wetfoot dry foot which was the policy for many years in the united states whereby if a cuban refugee set foot on american land then they could be granted asylum at least while they were having their asylum claims pending and if they were captured by water like the coast guard picked them off 10 10 feet off the shore then they were immediately returned to their home country i'm not making the case that that should be the policy the case that i am making here is not a policy one the point that i'm making is that the the biden administration seems a lot more troubled by cuba by cuban cuban refugees seeking a place in the united states than they are by people from nearly anywhere else and i find that somewhat interesting why why could it have to do with the politics of the people fleeing could it that's it on a policy level it seems to me that if you're fleeing communism the united states should be a logical place for you to go because you're coming from a country that has in place ideas antithetical to those of the united states founding and we should welcome you with open arms we need more people who hate communism here in the united states we need more people from hong kong who understand the the evils of communism to come to the united states and bring their entrepreneurship and bring their belief in individual rights here to the united states we need more people from cuba who understand the evils of communism in the united states and i do think that we should take into account the values of people who are coming to the united states when we determine if they should become american citizens i don't think everybody has an equal claim to be an american citizen i think the administration feels the same way i think that very often they feel the same way in reverse in just one second we'll get to the biden administration's policies with regard to iran again it seems like the the appeasement orientation of this administration with regard to foreign policy is quite obvious and it is very obama-esque never let reality get in the way of your ideological commitment to american appeasement and surrender if you have to you know make nice with the cuban dictatorship to the point where you kind of in wishy-washy fashion condemn what they're doing but you won't condemn communism then you do it and if you continue to negotiate with the iranian regime which is a a fascistic theocracy that oppresses its own people even while the iranian regime is attempting to kidnap american citizens this be speaks an administration that is not committed to american ideals it is an administration committed to certain appeasement orientation on the foreign stage we'll get some more of that in just one moment first let us talk about a simple fact if you're going to the post office you're

kidnap an iranian-american and again remember when it was the saudis doing this to uh to jamal khashoggi a person who had a visa in the united states this was an international story they kidnapped this guy and killed him khashoggi this turned into an international relations crisis when the iranians attempt to kidnap an iranian american the biden administration basically just blows it off unsealed documents from federal court have now charged for iranian interoperable operatives for a conspiracy to kidnap a woman named masih ala nashad a human rights activist who fled around in 2009 and is a critic of the nation's regime this is according to mediaite jensaki was was asked about all of this and she condemned the iranian kidnapping plot but in in rather tepid terms we categorically condemn iran's dangerous and despicable reported plot to kidnap a u.s citizen on u.s soil we will forcefully defend u.s citizens and u.s interests that includes law enforcement actions like the one announced yesterday as well as the actions the president has taken to defend u.s forces in the region from iranian-backed militant groups it also includes our diplomatic effort to constrain iran's nuclear program one of our most important and urgent actions that's the part where it starts to get tepid in the wild so yes we condemn it's despicable it's terrible it's also we need to make a deal we need to cut a nuclear deal with the iranians very important to cut that nuclear deal you know just because they kidnap american citizens we should definitely make sure to relieve some sanctions on them according to the washington free beacon the state department informed congress late on tuesday it would wave sanctions on iran's illicit oil trade so the country can access frozen funds from south korea and japan that is the same day the doj announced charges on an iranian spy network that sought to kidnap an american the waiver signed by secretary of state anthony blinken allows the transfer of iranian funds in restricted accounts to exporters in japan and the republic of korea according to a notification sent to congress by the state department the waiver allows iranian money frozen as a result of american sanctions to be freed up without violating the law so good news the iranian administration is uh trying to kidnap americans and
