Program Preview & Breaking Headlines 0:01 From the0:01 heart of our nation's capital in Washington, DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and sound bites into conversations with our nation's leaders and newsmakers,0:13 all from a biblical world view. Sitting in for Tony is today's host, Jody Heiss.0:19 The 40000000000000 is a big number. It is smaller when we look at the publicly traded amount because our social security funds and other government entities hold a substantial amount.0:30 And what we're gonna do, we're gonna have to grow our way out of this.0:36 That was US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessett commenting on the nation's record high national debt. Welcome to this Thursday, August 20th edition of0:48 Washington Watch. I'm your host Jody Heiss filling in for Tony Perkins. Thanks for joining us this next hour. Coming up on today's program, president Trump has announced economic0:59 warfare on Iran. So what will this escalation mean for the conflict in the Middle East? Congressman Keith Self, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, will join me in just a1:11 few moments to discuss the latest news coming from the Middle East. Then the national debt, it has now surpassed the 40000000000000 dollar threshold. Economist Steve Cortez, president of the League of American Workers, will be joining us to discuss the implications this could have for Americans and the overall state of the economy.1:23
1:36 Plus, Moshe Spurn, president of United Jewish Teachers, will be joining us a little bit later in the program today to discuss a new report that found a persistent pattern of hostility
1:48 toward Jewish people in New York City's public schools. So what's driving this antisemitism? We'll find out. All that and more is coming your way on today's edition of
1:59 Washington Watch. Well, let's begin with the conflict in the Middle East. President Trump has announced an economic
2:11 d day against Iran. Joining us now to discuss this is Washington Watch reporter Mary Stackhouse. Mary, what is this all about?
2:21 Jody, president Trump vowed in a post on True Social the most crushing economic operation ever taken against any country on Iran. He said that the economic warfare and isolation will be on a scale
2:33 that's unprecedented. It went on to say that any country who provides any type of lifeline to Iran will face tremendous economic consequences. President Trump also urged allies to stand with the US and
2:45 to isolate and defeat the Iran threat. Meanwhile, in the Strait of of Hormuz, the military has quietly established a shipping corridor to ensure the daily passage of millions of barrels of oil. The
2:56 operation has reportedly been going on for a few weeks. It has seen around 15 to 20 tankers traveling at night through the southern route of the sea passage along the coast of Oman. Some experts have seen total
3:08 exports from the gulf reach around 15 to 20000000 barrels. Jody.
3:14 Let's turn now, to some international news. The US State Department says there's an American citizen being wrongfully detained in China. Who is this individual, being
3:26 held by Chinese authorities and why?
3:29 The US says American citizen and Myanmar scholar Minh Zhen is being wrongfully detained in China. He was arrested by Chinese authorities in June. The Trump administration has said securing his release is a top
3:41 priority. Minh Zhen is accused of endangering Chinese national security. Now rights advocates have argued that China has long conducted what they call hostage diplomacy, detaining foreigners, including Americans,
3:52 to gain leverage in bilateral relations. Rights groups have urged the US to press China for the release of Minzen ahead of president Xi Jingpin's visit to the US next month. Now there's
4:04 also a campaign to release imprisoned pastors who are being held in China. China is, of course, known for oppression of religious freedom and targeting churches. Pastor Ezra Jin was released last month after
4:16 being held for close to 9 months by Chinese authorities. Many are hopeful that after president Xi's meeting with president Trump next month, pastor John Zhao will also be released. He's currently battling stage
4:28 4 cancer. Jody.
4:31 Yes. We, did a segment on pastor John Zhao yesterday, and it's a very serious situation with his health. Quickly, Mary, let's, look at some domestic news. Devastating
4:43 report reality. The US debt hit 40000000000000 dollars. Walk us through this news.
4:51 Yeah. This is huge news. For the 1st time in US history, the national debt has reached 40000000000000, as you said. The debt has more than doubled in less than a decade from close to 20000000000000 dollars when president
5:02 Trump was 1st sworn in in January 20 17. Now roughly 0.333 of that increase occurred during 2 years of government borrowing to fund the COVID 19 pandemic responses. That was both under
5:14 the Trump and Biden administrations. Michael Peterson, he's the chairman and CEO of the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. He spoke to the burden that this debt will have on future generations.
5:25 Interest is our fastest growing government program. So we spend more than, you know, 3000000000 dollars a day on interest costs. We spend more on interest than we do on national defense. We'll spend
5:37 16000000000000 on interest over the next 10 years. So we've gotten to the point at which, the the the debt and the interest cost represent a huge burden, not only just on on our future kids and grandkids, but on on
5:49 our our citizens today. So 40 trillions should be a huge wake up call to Washington to get our fiscal house in order.
5:56 Peterson said that heavy government borrowing has contributed to higher mortgage, car loan, and credit card rates. Jody?
6:05 Amazing. We look back at the 20000000000000 mark as the good old days, and amazing where this is going. Mary, as always, thank you for getting us kicked off. I wanna go back now to the
6:16 situation with Iran and president Trump's economic d day declaration. And joining us now to discuss this in more is congressman Keith Self. He's a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
6:28 He represents the 3rd congressional district of Texas. He also served our country so faithfully for some 25 years in the US army before retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. Congressman Self, thanks
6:40 for joining me. Welcome back to Washington Watch.
6:43 Always good to see you, Jody. Thank you.
6:46 Well, likewise. Alright. The no doubt. The US has already done enormous damage to the Iranian military. So what do you make now this economic
6:58 move where president Trump is stating this is gonna be the most crushing economic operation ever against any country?
7:07 Well, if you notice, he included all of the other countries. In fact, a lot of that was asking them to come along. So I'll mention 2 countries, China and Russia. They
7:19 don't care. They will help Iran. They are helping Iran. China is being hurt by the all of this because of the oil imports that they have, but they will continue to
7:31 help Iran. And frankly, the rest of the world is not all on board with us. They are trying to keep their own economies going. They need oil. They need to to keep going. So, his
7:43 plea you know, a lot of his plea was to other countries. We have to wait and see who will support president Trump in this effort.
7:51 Yeah. I think that's an excellent point. I mean, China obviously is the biggest buyer of Iranian oil, and we have, United Arab Emirates. They've historically have, been a major
8:03 part of their economic lifeline. So you talk about these other countries who have significant ties to Iran. How big of a challenge do you think this is gonna be to get other
8:15 countries on board?
8:17 I think it's huge. UAE just said that they had, severed all ties with Iran. That's huge. That will hurt because they, as you say, were the largest trading partner. But the
8:29 world as a whole is not on board with us. So this will be a diplomatic challenge for the state department to get as many people helping us on this as possible because we're gonna see just how
8:41 integrated the world is. And it is a very integrated world today. So when you target 1 country, you've got to have allies go with you in that effort.
8:52 Yeah. I agree. This is going to be this is this is going to divide sheep from the goats in a lot of ways. I mean, we're gonna see who's who around the world and and where they all stand. You know,
9:04 there's been a lot of mixed messages on whether, the Trump administration is still negotiating with Iran. And if they are, how active is that?
9:15 But 1 thing that I think is clear is that the administration is certainly not rushing to make a deal at this point. In fact, Jared Kushner said that, it has to be the right kind of deal if there's gonna
9:27 be any deal. On the other hand, you have some who think president Trump might take any kind of deal, especially right here before the midterms. But, you know, I I think and I'd like
9:39 to get your thoughts on this. Don't you think that president Trump really knows just how critical the right deal is, not just any deal?
9:48 Absolutely. He does. And I don't think he will take any deal. We need we do need to get Iran calm down. But I will tell tell you, Jody, what I have checked with the intel community. And I am concerned
10:00 about a October surprise from Iran, because they understand how important this Iran conflict is to the midterms. So I would encourage our intelligence services and
10:12 everyone to be aware that on Iran, October surprise may be in the offing. I think we ought to be real careful.
10:20 Yes. I I agree with you on that. In fact, The Wall Street Journal, reported something along those lines on Sunday. They they said that Iran has spent the last couple of months since the
10:32 signing of the memorandum. They've been preparing for a wider conflict. So do you think, from what you understand, is that actually what they've been doing? And if so, that probably probably could
Iran Sanctions & Sharia Threat
10:44 contribute significantly to the October surprise you mentioned.
10:48 Well, all I can say is that Iran wants to draw this out because they are surviving. The regime is surviving, and they still have their 60 percent enriched uranium. So those 2 things,
11:00 they're they consider success. They draw this out as long as they can, rebuild as fast as they can, survive, keep their nuclear material. They're happy.
11:12 So throw in a October surprise to try to hurt president Trump in the midterms. I think you've got the, the concoction.
11:21 Yep. It's, it's a storm rising. We'll see just how it unfolds. While I have you, you you're a founding member of the Sharia Free America Caucus, and from
11:33 your own home state, Texas Republican state representative Brian Harrison is calling for Texas, to enter a special session, the legislature there, to address the whole threat of Sharia law. He
11:45 says he believes that the threat is certainly growing. What do you think about that?
11:50 Absolutely. It's growing. I mean, my across the nation, it's growing. This is moving so fast. I just put a a piece that said we are losing Texas because we're ground 0.
12:02 It's exploding across Texas. Brian Harrison is exactly right. Look, Brent Money, another state rep, started the Sharia free Texas caucus. We have a Sharia free
12:14 Wisconsin caucus now up in Wisconsin. So this is people are starting to be aware of the danger of having an alternative legal system, legal system of governance, political
12:26 Islam. But Texas is ground 0. Harrison is exactly right. The state has got to get engaged.
12:33 And I don't know if you saw this, but last month, the Pew Research Center, put out a survey and found that 44 percent of Muslim Americans support Hamas. 44 percent. I I think that
12:45 in itself says something, doesn't it?
12:49 Absolutely. There's another survey that depending on who you're talking to, 33 or more percent of American Muslims prefer Sharia law in America. So it's not just
13:00 support for for Hamas. A significant percentage of our American Muslims wants Sharia law here in America. This is a real problem, Jody.
13:13 It's a serious problem. And, you you know, it just seems like we're living at a time where we have so many issues, so many plates spinning that, this is a time for focus. And I know when congress comes back into session,
13:25 you're gonna have your hands full with a bunch of major decisions. So congressman Keith Self, always a pleasure to have you on the program with us. Thank you for your, steadfast leadership. We
13:37 appreciate it.
13:38 Thank you, Jody. Great to see you.
13:42 Alright. Coming up next, the national debt has topped 40000000000000 dollars for the very 1st time. So what does all those mean for our country? What's it mean for each
13:54 of us? Well, we'll discuss it next. Stay with us.
14:01 America. What formed the fabric of our freedom? What stitched together the hearts of those that fast in the stars and stripes? 250 years ago, our founding fathers pinned the invisible
14:13 words woven within every heart. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
14:24 happiness. Unite with others who will pledge to defend these eternal truths today at Family Research Council's pray boat stand summit, September 24th to the 26th at Cornerstone
14:36 Chapel outside Washington DC. In 17 76, our country declared independence in reliance upon divine providence. In 20 26, in the same spirit, we'll
14:47 declare dependence upon God by gathering for a time of prayer, inspiration, and action for faith, for family, for freedom. Register now at pray vote stand dot o r g.
National Debt Crisis Deep Dive
15:02 1 nation under God, America's undeniable foundation of faith. As president of the College of New Jersey,
15:14 Jersey now known as Princeton University John Witherspoon taught 10 cabinet members, 60 members of Congress, 13 governors, 3 Supreme Court Justices, Vice President Aaron Burr and President James
15:26 Madison. As a Presbyterian minister, Witherspoon was the only active clergyman to sign the declaration of independence. He was a gifted preacher and writer who let his faith direct his political
15:37 activism often voicing the link between earthly liberty and spiritual liberty. Witherspoon argued there is not a single instance in history in which civil Liberty was lost and religious
15:49 Liberty preserved entire. President John Adams said of Witherspoon, he was a true son of Liberty but 1st he was a son of the cross. Witherspoon's views on man's sinfulness
16:01 from birth influenced his belief that self government was only possible with checks and balances. A belief he passed on to his student, James Madison, father of the constitution. Witherspoon helped form
16:13 the vision many of our founding fathers held to, no republic without liberty, no liberty without virtue, and no virtue without religion. And with that, Witherspoon became a cornerstone in
16:25 America's foundation of faith.

17:03 Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm Jody Heiss filling in today for Tony. So glad to have you joining us. Just a quick, quick reminder, our Prevost Stand Summit is coming up next month starting on
17:14 September 24th. It will be taking place at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg right outside of DC. So, get more details. Better yet, go ahead and register. Text the word summit to 6 7
17:26 7 4 2. Alright. We mentioned this yesterday yesterday on the program, but now the total national debt has topped 40000000000000 dollars for the 1st
17:38 time in our 250 year history. And about 0.5 of that has all happened in the last decade. So what does all of this mean? What does it mean for every
17:50 1 of us? Joining me now to discuss this and more is Steve Cortez. He's a founder and president of the League of American Workers. Prior to entering media and politics
18:02 full time, he had a 25 year career on Wall Street as a bond trader. Steve, welcome to Washington Watch. Glad to have you. And let me just kick it off with this.
18:14 What is driving this national
18:17 debt? Well, absolute profligate levels of borrowing and spending. I mean, that's the simple answer, but the more sort of complex answer and deeper answer is an inability of really any 1 of consequence in
18:29 Washington to deal with this building crisis. This is a bipartisan failure. And look, I'm a right winger. I'm a Republican. I worked for President Trump, for Vice President Vance. I hope to work for only Republicans into
18:40 the future. But I think we have to admit that we are also as a party and as a movement complicit in this inattention, in this irresponsibility that has led to this level
18:52 of debt that is totally unsustainable. And here's the consequence. It's not just like, oh, a number on a board that we don't like. That's unpleasant for us. The tangible kitchen table consequence is a loss of
19:04 the standard of living for far too many Americans. So Americans have dealt with an untenable level of inflation since the COVID panic the last 5 years. While inflation is obviously better under President Trump, it's
19:15 still too high in a cumulative way, that that panic and the ensuing rush of borrowed and spending that we still have not abated. Unfortunately, that directly led to this explosion
19:26 in inflation. And what does that really mean? It just means your standard of living is going down. You're working harder and harder for less. It's 1 of the reasons why in all of the polling right now, unfortunately, the
19:36 American people have an incredibly dour view of the encounter of the economy. Consumer sentiment has tanked, and far too many Americans believe now that they will not live a better, more prosperous life than their
19:47 parents and their grandparents did. So these are the consequences of this level of just absolutely mammoth onerous debt.
19:55 Yeah. And I hear that all the time. I had a conversation with 3 different individuals just today alone about this this debt and and congress and not dealing with it. But I know from my time in congress, this
20:07 is is is a is a very difficult situation. We've got this enormous budget, but I forget the exact numbers. 65 or whatever percent of it is mandatory spending, you know,
20:19 Medicare and Social Security, that type of thing. And only the the remainder of it, 35 percent, whatever it is, is, discretionary. But in that, our military. Well, obviously, we have to fund our military. So you've got
20:31 this big, big budget, but only a small portion to work with for the purpose of, eradicating what's now 40000000000000 dollars. This is a difficult
20:42 difficult web that has been created.
20:45 Sure. No. And listen. And I understand that the the politics there and and how difficult it is. And and you're right. And on the entitlement side, if we're unwilling to attack entitlements, and I think we should, but
20:56 regardless, I realize right now that seems to be a political impossibility, and we have to spend significantly on our defense. You're only talking about roughly 10 percent of the budget then, you know, that is left that
21:05 is essentially in play. But also, I would warn you about this in terms of funding our defense. We now spend more on interest on the debt. We are now above 1000000000000 dollars annually in interest on the debt. We're
21:16 spending more on that. We're seeing, in other words, we're spending more to the bank essentially than we're spending on arms in the United States for the 1st time in American history. And this is we're about to close
21:25 fiscal year. This is the 2nd year in a row. We're above 1000000000000 dollars in interest payments. And here's where it gets really dangerous. It's already bad situation. Here's where it gets really dangerous, Jody. And,
21:33 again, I'm a former bond trader for a long time. If interest rates continue to rise because of the inflation, we can get into this vicious cycle, where the more money we print, the higher interest rates rise, the higher
21:45 that interest payment goes on the debt. And eventually, we get to a situation where the only way we can possibly get out of it is to either inflate things to the point where we don't have a standard of living at all
21:55 anymore or we have to default on the debt. We don't we don't wanna get there. Alright. So but let me tell you 1 solution that I think is workable, that is politically feasible to get there. 1 of the reasons that
22:04 entitlements have grown so out of control is and this will shock a lot of Americans, but it's because a lot of immigrants are getting these entitlement payments. They're getting very generous, lavish benefits from the US
22:15 government, both legal and illegal immigrants. So the more we accelerate deportations thank goodness president Trump has closed the border. But the more we accelerate internal enforcement, that is going to help our
22:26 budget tremendously. I would advocate even in addition to that, that legal immigration should be should be at least restricted if not put on hold temporarily. So that is 1, I believe, politically workable
22:38 solution that would start to get that 70 percent or so of the budget, which we can't really touch, but would start to get those net payments down on the entitlement side. The other issue and look. Let me let me get the
22:48 positive side. Okay? Because I've I've been all negative so far. But let me get to the positive side, Jody. And this is possible. Okay? What's going on in automation and AI, it is possible that we get such a ramp in
22:59 productivity that we can produce so much that we actually can grow our way out of this debt. Now I think it's irresponsible of our country to rely on that. It's sort of like a football team saying, hey, don't worry. We
23:10 could throw an 80 yard bomb for a touchdown anytime we want. Well, maybe you can. Okay? And it's wonderful if you do it, but it's not a good coaching strategy. A good coaching strategy says, hey. How do we get 7 yards at
23:20 a clip? Let's not rely on on the on the touchdown bomb. But I am telling you, I'm just giving you the the positive vision, and that is what I hear some people who aren't as concerned about the debt. What they tell me is
23:30 we're at the cusp of a productivity revolution, much like we saw at the beginning of the Internet, now an even bigger 1 with AI. If that is the case, then it's possible that this mammoth debt becomes manageable. But I'll
23:40 tell you right now, it is not manageable. And this isn't just Washington's problem. You know, if you're horrified going to the grocery store, a big reason is this 40000000000000 dollars in debt. So this has real world
23:51 ramifications for every single family in America.
23:55 Yeah. Absolutely. And you look at other seemingly positive news encouraging. It's it's given to us unemployment claims down a little bit, but that's all temporary. I mean, that suggests things
24:07 are right now today stable, but it's not long term at all. We've only got about 30 seconds. But is that is that correct?
24:14 It is correct. Let me give you, though. And from your home state of Georgia, some good news that is longer term. Hyundai just announced that it's massively increasing its auto plant in the state of Georgia, investing
24:24 26000000000 dollars in the United States. That's because of America 1st trade policies, because of smart tariffs from President Trump. That's lasting news. That's not going to be just 0.25 or 2. That's that's years and
24:34 decades. That can help the situation too on shoring back to this country.
24:39 Good point. Thank you so much for joining us, Steve Cortez, founder and president of the League of American Workers. We appreciate it. Alright. Coming up next, we'll discuss a new report highlighting the
24:51 serious and ongoing problem of antisemitism in America's largest school system. Stay with us.
25:02 When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for 1 people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
25:10 and to assume among the powers of the earth
25:12 The separate and equal station to which the laws of nature And of nature's god entitled them.
25:18 A decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes
25:23 which impel them to the separation.
25:25 We hold these truths to be self evident
25:28 That all men are created
25:30 equal. That they're endowed by their creator. With certain unalienable rights.
25:35 That among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
25:38 That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men. Deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. Happy 250th.
25:48 Happy 250th.
25:50 Happy 250th. Happy 250th birthday, America.
25:54 May God bless America.

27:02 You tune in to Washington Watch. Thank you so much for joining me. I'm Jody Heiss filling in today for Tony. An organization that advocates for Jewish educators and staff
27:14 in New York City public schools has released a report, a comprehensive 1 I might add, on antisemitism in the nation's largest school system. And according to the
27:26 data compiled, antisemitism remains a serious and ongoing problem in the New York City public schools, with direct acts of hostility constituting the clear
27:38 majority of documented antisemitic and anti Israel incidents. So what is fueling all of this and what can be done about it? Well, joining us now to
27:50 discuss this is Moshe Spern. He's the president of United Jewish Teachers, which released this report. Moshe, we're glad to have you. Welcome to Washington Watch. And let me start with thisShow more
