U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) recently joined Hannity to discuss the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and its implications for America. In the interview, Rubio highlighted the threat posed by Hamas and emphasized the need for Israel to eliminate this armed element. He stated, "Israel cannot coexist alongside a group like this. No nation on earth should be asked to coexist with an armed element that wants to wipe you off the face of the earth and is willing to commit these sorts of atrocities."
Rubio also shed light on Iran's role in sponsoring terrorism and its support for Hamas. He stressed that Iran utilizes the funds it receives not for the betterment of its people but to fuel terrorism. He stated, "Iran takes every dollar you give them not to build hospitals, not to create prosperity for their people, they take this money to sponsor terrorism." Rubio further emphasized that Hamas relies heavily on Iranian support and its access to weapons, equipment, and technology is made possible through Iran.
The Senator expressed his concerns about American progressives' naivete regarding Islamic regimes. He emphasized the stark cultural differences between the West and these radical Islamic regimes, stating, "These are radical Islamic regimes. That’s what governs Iran, and that’s the theology behind groups like Hamas and Hezbollah as well. They do not value life the way we do." Rubio emphasized that these regimes perceive death as a form of worship and martyrdom as something to aspire to. He stressed the importance of understanding the ideological differences and approaching these regimes with strength rather than naivete.
Furthermore, Rubio highlighted the potential dangers posed by the border crisis, particularly in regard to terrorists entering the country. He highlighted the ease with which individuals can acquire false documentation and stressed that the porous border provides an opportunity for terrorists to enter the United States without undergoing proper vetting procedures. He stated, "If you were al Qaeda today, you wouldn’t try to get these guys in through student visas. You’d just tell them, go to the border, turn yourself in, claim asylum, and you’ll be released into the country."
Rubio expressed concern about the potential for lone wolf attacks inspired by the ongoing violence and calls for violence from radical elements. He emphasized the need to remain vigilant and address the threat of lone wolf attacks, stating, "The lone wolf attack is a real threat in America and across the world, as you have this effort to inspire violence coming from these elements."
In conclusion, Senator Marco Rubio's interview with Hannity provided valuable insights into the Israel-Hamas war, Iran's role in sponsoring terrorism, the cultural differences between the West and radical Islamic regimes, and the potential risks associated with the border crisis. Rubio emphasized the need for a strong and informed approach to these complex issues, urging support for Israel and a firm stance against terrorism.
