Progress in Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks 0:01 From the 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 and0:12 newsmakers, all from a biblical worldview. Sitting in for Tony is today's host, Jody Heiss.0:19 Republicans should not leave town until these, priorities are completed, and Democrats are denied every possible leverage point. We should just finish the job. The bottom line is the American, people sent a pretty clear0:30 message. They want congress actually to do something, and we still have almost two months, to get that0:36 done. That was house freedom caucus chairman, Andy Harris, calling on congressional Republicans for action before Democrats return to power in January. Happy Veterans Day. Welcome0:47 to this edition of Washington Watch. I'm your host, Jody Heiss, filling in for Tony Perkins. Thank you for joining us. Coming up on today's program, what can Republicans in Congress accomplish1:00 before the Democrats take control in January? That is a big question and it carries enormous consequences. Oklahoma Congressman Josh Burkina, a member of the House Freedom1:12 Caucus, will join us a little bit later to put forth a vision for the next fifty days. He and his colleagues are fighting for some major victories before that major change takes place.
1:25 Plus, Stephen Moore of the Ukraine Freedom Project will join us to explain the US mediated prisoner exchange between the Ukraine and Russia. This deal could be the first step
1:37 towards something much bigger. And at least one exit poll comparison from last week shows a stunning nineteen point shift in Jewish voters towards Republicans.
1:50 That certainly could suggest a significant change underway. Did growing anti Israel sentiment within the Democratic Party play a role in that shift? Rabbi Yokov
2:02 Menke will, from the Coalition for Jewish Values will join us a little bit later to reveal his thoughts on this political shift. He'll also sound an alarm over
2:14 rising antisemitism. We certainly saw that in sharp focus this past weekend after activists in Philadelphia targeted six Jewish owned restaurants as part of a
2:25 boycott. So all that and much more is straight ahead on this Veterans Day edition of Washington Watch.
2:38 We began today overseas where peace talks between Russia and Ukraine have made some progress, but there certainly remain some significant differences. After two days of
2:50 US brokered talks in Abu Dhabi, the two sides have agreed to a major prisoner exchange. That might be a good start, but there's still no agreement on key
3:02 issues such as territory. US envoy Jared Kushner says he's optimistic about finding a path to peace. Here's what he had to say after the two days of talks in Abu Dhabi.
3:14 I I think
3:14 this was a positive step, but, you know, Steve and I went, Steve was in Oslo and Saint Petersburg. We weren't sure we get to this trilateral format. It's been a long way, to get everyone back to the table. But I think
3:25 this was a very good first meeting. It was a tough meeting, but a productive one.
3:31 Kushner and Steve Witkoff are now headed to Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. And following the meeting with Putin, they're expected to meet with Ukrainian president Zelensky. So be
3:43 praying as these efforts to end the war continue. Meanwhile, here at home, president Trump marked Veterans Day today with a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery in
3:54 Virginia. He was joined by vice president JD Vance and veterans affairs secretary Doug Collins. Trump laid a wreath. He honored the men and women who have served our country, and here's a
4:06 clip of that.
4:07 Today is one people. We say to every American veteran, the sacrifice you have made, we will never forget the oath that you have kept, we will never take for
4:19 granted. The values you fought for will never... We will never ever forsake. The flag you held high. We will never let it
4:31 fall. And the nation you served, we will never ever let it fail.
4:39 President Trump also praised US troops involved in military operations against Iran. He said that mission must end in total victory. So those are some of
4:51 the headlines that we've been tracking. Let's go now and focus our attention and bring in our first guest to have a better understanding of one of the items that I just mentioned. That is the
5:03 trilateral peace talks between the US, Ukraine, and Russia. Joining us now to discuss this is Stephen Moore. He's a founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project, which engages in
5:15 humanitarian work. They also provide firsthand data driven information, both to policymakers and media about the situation taking place in Ukraine. Steven,
5:27 welcome back to Washington Watch. Always good to see you.
5:31 Yeah. Great to be with you. Thanks for having me back.
5:34 Okay. So we've had now two days of talks, and Russia and Ukraine say that a a large prisoner exchange is being arranged. Besides that, has there been
5:46 anything of major significance take place in Abu Dhabi?
5:51 Well, I think you've seen, the Trump administration have a couple of victories in terms of humanitarian aid. The first lady had two thousand people evacuated that were starving to death, the humanitarian crisis caused by
6:02 Russia. And she got those people out. Then you saw Jared Kushner. You know, they're changing five hundred prisoners, in Ukraine for five hundred prisoners in Russia. And, and that's a good move
6:14 because, Russian prisons are a horrible place to be. But, in terms of the substance of the peace negotiations, it it doesn't seem like it's gone far. And here's what the administration
6:26 needs to guard against is that, Putin is gonna continue to do this until the cost of him trying to take over Ukraine and parts of Europe are more than the cost of him
6:38 stopping. And, and so, if you take an example of the humanitarian situation in Oleshky, the first lady did such a great job of brokering. During that ceasefire,
6:50 the Russians not only moved people out of the humanitarian crisis they created, but they moved soldiers closer to, areas they could not resupply
7:01 without
7:01 a ceasefire. So Vladimir Putin is gonna use these negotiations to advance his military goals. And I think that's what the administration needs to guard against.
7:14 So through your work, and you're so heavily in frontline involved in all this, but your work with the Ukraine Freedom Project, what would you want our viewers, our listeners
7:25 to understand about, these prisoner releases? What what would that mean for Ukrainian families?
7:34 Well, I'll tell you what. The Ukrainian military incentivized its soldiers to capture Russians rather than kill them because they want to build
7:46 up a stock of Russian soldiers so they can train in exchange for Ukrainian soldiers. The international committee of the Red Cross is supposed to take care of, of of POWs,
7:58 but they can't get access to Russia. And so, Ukrainian soldiers come back from Russia just looking like they've, you know, looking like photos from the Holocaust and, you know,
8:10 skinny, beaten, and and just in terrible shape. So reuniting these Ukrainian soldiers have fought so bravely, is going to be a big deal for Ukrainian families. And I just want
8:21 to remind your viewers as well. Everybody currently fighting in the Ukrainian military, there's about a million people. All of them were doing something else, before the Russian invasion.
8:34 Everybody that's doing that is someone like you.
8:38 That's a great, reminder. I appreciate that. So what are the big obstacles? I mean, we've we've got this prison agreement, as a welcome development. No question about
8:50 that. But the talks, as you suggested, basically have ended with no major breakthrough certainly on ending the war. So what what are the big obstacles that remain?
9:02 Well, it's just as simple as this. If Putin stops attacking Ukraine, the war will be over. So that's the obstacle. And, you know, my Ukrainian friends, I I was... I left
9:14 Ukraine, in September. So I'm in the United States right now. And, but, you know, there's constant air raids. There's constant air strikes. And, you know, but, you know, the Ukrainians
9:26 are not gonna give up. There's actually a poll question that, that people asked... That there was asking a poll in Ukraine. Would you... Do you wanna continue to fight the Russians even if it means living
9:38 without electricity, heat, and sewage? And sixty eight percent of Ukrainians said yes. In Kyiv, that is bearing the worst of this, that's bearing the biggest
9:50 brunt of these air strikes, they said eighty six percent of key residents said they will be willing to continue to fight. So there's... They're not close to surrender on this. And, even though that
10:01 that, yeah, Putin's doing the worst in the world to them.
10:06 That's that's very interesting. So now now we have Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. They're they're off to a scheduled meeting, with with Putin in in Moscow. And then following that meeting, they'll, meet with
10:18 Zelensky in Dublin. So what would you want them to press Putin on? Be... Beyond the humanitarian aspect, what what needs to be pressed?
10:30 Yeah. So, there needs just to be a ceasefire. That's it. It's that simple. And there needs to be a nationwide ceasefire. And if that happens, then that's a good confidence builder for Ukraine
10:42 because all these peace negotiations, all these...
10:45 You know, and I'll give you
10:46 a sense of it. Donald Trump has had fifteen phone conversations with Putin in one meeting about peace. And Putin says, yeah, I want peace. I want peace. Let's let's get this peace deal
10:57 done. And then he hangs up the phone with president Trump and launches, on average, a hundred and ninety drones and missiles into Ukraine. So, Putin is being duplicit of us about
11:09 peace, and the Ukrainian people are looking at this and they're like, you know, what's it gonna take to get him to stop? And that's what needs to happen. There needs to be, a confidence building
11:21 exercise because Putin is already in violation of a couple of dozen different ceasefires, peace agreements, and everything else. This war has been going on since two thousand fourteen. So there's been a lot
11:33 of attempts at peace, and they've all failed. And there's no indication to the Ukrainians that anything's different this time because Putin's just continuing to attack.
11:43 So do you think Kushner and Wyckoff have the experience to be dealing with this kind of high level negotiations?
11:51 Well, typically, you'd like to see someone like Marco Rubio in there. He's the secretary of state. You know, and, and, you know, Kushner and I have friends in common and, and,
12:03 you know, he's he's he's a good man. You know, Witkoff, I'm I'm not impressed with his foreign policy acumen, But, you know, yeah. I
12:15 I think... Yeah. I mean, I think at the end of the day, you do need a leader level summit, which is gonna be Trump, Zelensky, Putin. And, you know, I think there should be some European leaders in
12:27 there too because, you know, despite what you say about the Ukraine... The Europeans... And listen. I love making fun of the Europeans. There's nothing more fun than making fun of the French. But, but, you know, you're
12:38 with me on that. Yeah. But Yeah. You know, the... But but I gotta tell you there's two different Europes. And the Europe that is... If your capital
12:50 is close to Moscow, you spend more on defense. And the farther away your capital is from Moscow, the less you spend on defense. So you've got, the Baltic
13:02 states, the Nordic states, Poland, and a lot of these countries, that, that have a real stake in it. So there needs to be a European presence. And look, the Germans have already,
13:14 spent half again as much on their defense as they did last year. So so the Europeans need to be a play in
13:22 this. Well, I wanna thank you so much for joining us today. Stephen Moore, founder of the Ukraine Freedom Project. Always great to talk with you, and thank you for joining us again today on Washington Watch. We
13:33 appreciate it.
13:35 Alright. Look forward to doing it again soon.
13:38 Coming up, reports linking NVIDIA, the CEO of that company, to suspected Chinese spies are raising some national security concerns as well they should.
13:50 So how is China targeting American technology? Obviously, the stakes on that are high. We'll discuss it next, so stay with us.
China's Influence Operations Targeting US Technology
14:02 One nation under God, America's undeniable foundation of faith.
14:16 Youssef from Family Research Council here in Washington, DC. We're continuing the celebration of two hundred fifty years of our home sweet home by walking the historic streets of our nation's capital today.
14:28 And if you were here walking around with me, you would see the timeless architecture, iconic statues, and solemn memorials that grace this city. All of it designed to tell our nation's story.
14:41 If you look closely, if you seek, you will find that these monuments still whisper to those who listen, that God has been at work in America from the beginning. So for he who has ears, let him hear
14:53 the frozen music of these monuments and buildings, because the song sounds something like this. America, America, God shed His grace on thee.
15:05 Consider the Washington Monument, over five hundred feet of stone soaring into the sky, the highest point in Washington, DC. Written at the top of the monument are the words, Laus Deo,
15:16 Latin for praise be to God. So when the sun rises on Washington, DC, our praise rises with it. Head to the White House. Imagine sharing a meal in
15:28 the state dining room. There you will find this prayer from president John Adams carved into the mantle above the fireplace. I pray to heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this house. May none
15:40 but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof. At the center of the US Capitol, the home of Congress, eight grand paintings rest in the rotunda. A
15:52 friar holds a cross as Columbus and his crew land in the Americas. Pocahontas is baptized in a Jamestown church in sixteen thirteen. Before crossing the Atlantic, the pilgrims pray
16:04 over an open Bible, the words God with us on the sails of their ship. Go to the Jefferson Memorial. Engraved on the wall are these stirring words. Indeed, I tremble for my
16:15 country when I reflect that God is just, that his justice cannot sleep forever. Walk by the Supreme Court, the highest court in the land, and find Moses sculpted into the top of the
16:27 building's east entrance holding the ten commandments. What more can I say? I do not have time to tell about Asbury and Witherspoon, Hamilton and Grant, FDR's D Day prayer, or Lincoln's appeal to
16:39 God. But our nation's story isn't finished. It's still being etched in stone by us so we can make the promise of America real and the idea of America complete. And that
16:51 is our foundation
16:52 of faith.
17:04 Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm Jody Heiss sitting in today for Tony. So glad to have you on board with us. NVIDIA, that's an American chipmaker whose
17:16 processors power many of the world's leading artificial intelligence systems. Well, you may have heard they are now investigating reports that its CEO was targeted by
17:28 Chinese intelligence through a personal relationship. Now the company is saying that it has no reason to believe that its secrets or national security were compromised.
17:40 But what could be at stake if Beijing did actually gain access to the people and technology that's driving America's AI industry?
17:53 Critical, critical question. And joining us now to discuss this is retired Brigadier General Robert Spalding. He's a founder and CEO of Semper, which is a secure communications and computing
18:05 company. He's also senior fellow at the Hudson Institute who studies China's economic and military strategy. General Spalding, welcome back to Washington Watch, and
18:17 happy Veterans Day to you. Thanks for your service.
18:20 Thank you. Great to be back.
18:23 Let's, talk about... Let's begin with this. Why do you think Chinese intelligence would seek access to a technology executive, someone like Jensen Huang,
18:37 beyond the obvious, the the Nvidia chips? What do you think is going on behind the
18:44 scenes here? Well, this is a lot less of, about technology theft and much more about political inputs. As I wrote in South War and War Without Rules, essentially, the Chinese Communist Party
18:56 uses, honey pots like this, and other means to influence US corporate executives to influence political policy in the United States. And
19:08 so in this case, what she was after was exactly what she got, which is, as the report states, something like eight billion dollars of, GPU chips that
19:20 made its way to China, some of which were, sent to companies that support the Chinese military. And so she was there to help influence policy with regard to China
19:31 getting access to advanced, AI chips so that they could, power their AI industry in China. And and that that was very successful, and I think this is what corporate CEOs need to
19:43 be aware of. Unfortunately, we are, you know, years away from the cold war and really don't understand the use of these types of activities to gain influence in our political process.
19:56 NVIDIA is saying that there's no reason to believe that sensitive information was compromised. You seem to be saying otherwise.
20:04 Well, it's not really sensitive information. It is a fact that, the company that, the woman that he was... Had a relationship with, Mega Speed, was
20:16 not supposed to be being able to funnel chips into China. They should have been caught under an entity list. Those chips are restricted from go to... Going to China. For example,
20:28 our company had to, you know, attest to the fact that those chips were gonna stay, here in the United States and be used for appropriate, re... Uses when we bought those chips. And so every
20:40 company would have to do this. So the fact that those chips made it into China was exactly what she was after. And further, the influencing of the commerce department, the, the executive
20:52 branch, and Congress was what she was after ultimately.
20:57 And so, I I mean, to add to what you're saying, I'm sure that you... You're aware of the Reuters report today that, a Chinese university with military ties bought restricted NVIDIA chips
21:09 despite the fact that they were on a US blacklist. So, I mean, that's very concerning. What does all this tell you about the gaps that exist in America's efforts to try, at
21:21 least, to keep advanced technology out of China's military?
21:26 Well, if you look at the reporting, the the commerce department was approached to essentially allow these chips to bypass the controls that have been in
21:38 place by law. And essentially, they, the, you know, they allowed the... That... Those bypasses to happen. So, again, this is how China, the Chinese communist influence
21:50 our national security and foreign policy. They do it through corporate representation. In this case, it was NVIDIA NVIDIA officers that basically lobbied the commerce department, and
22:02 continue to law... Lobby congress and the White House to get the sort of policies that China, the Chinese communist want.
22:11 And and it's not just the chips themselves, but obviously, China is seeking, the research and the technological know how, if you will, behind the American technology. So
22:23 this becomes a major area of concern. I mean, for them to gain that kind of know how would be extremely detrimental for the US, wouldn't it?
22:35 Absolutely. And, you know, my career as a b two pilot ended, because I realized that the the the threats to national security and foreign policy were far less about, you
22:47 know, war with China and far more about the political influence, the economic and financial influence of the Chinese Communist Party within our society. And this is emblematic emblematic of exactly
22:59 what I was trying to warn the country about.
23:04 And it's not just military. Is... I think it's important for people to understand so much of this advanced surveillance technology. It also is used by China to persecute some of his own people,
23:16 including Christians and other religious minorities. So how concerned should we be about China's use of these technologies even when it comes to violating human rights?
23:28 Well, it... It's, what's, troubling is it's not just about, surveilling their own population, including the Uyghurs, whom they've committed genocide against within
23:40 their own country, but also the incredible surveillance that they have of the American people and the free world writ large. Imagine how the cold war would have turned out if the Soviet Union had all the
23:51 intelligence capabilities that China's global empire currently has with all of its relationships with its companies, its, its tech companies, how they are, you
24:03 know, working in the United States. I mean, we've had reports of, you know, the, the the vacuum cleaners, the autonomous vacuum cleaners that you buy, collecting information about, American
24:15 people. I mean, the the the amount of intelligence that they're collecting and with the rise of AI, the ability to process and use that information to to further influence, our
24:27 political process is built into the way that they conduct warfare. It's a completely different way of thinking about how to
24:34 Yes. It is.
24:35 You know,
24:35 challenge the United States supremacy and really begin to unravel, you know, this polarization process that's happened in the United States is actually part of the overall strategy
24:48 that the Chinese have.
24:49 Generals... General, Robert Spawing, thank you for joining us. Sorry. We've got to run. Alright. Coming up, we've got some information on Jewish community and this past election. Stay with us.
Jewish Voters Shifting Toward Republicans
25:06 A family is the oldest, most tested, and most reliable unit of society. It is divinely created and sustained, and yet there are those who are always tampering with its values and structure.
25:18 That's why we need organizations like the Family Research Council that can effectively defend and strengthen the family.
25:25 Family Research Council began over forty years ago, like all great movements of God, with prayer.
25:32 Today, rooted
25:33 in the heart of the nation's capital, FRC continues to champion faith, family, and freedom in public policy and the culture from a biblical worldview.
25:44 FRC is one of those bright lights that helps us focus on true north. And I shudder to think had they not been here that it could have been worse, worse, worse.
25:54 The Family Research Council has literally millions of people that follow-up what they do, and that small army makes a difference. Every time I meet with Tony Brays Forney, That matters. This is a grassroots
26:06 organization. Tony and his team in Washington do a great job, but the power of the FRC is the people.
26:12 It's just a wonderful parachurch organization that doesn't seek to take the place of the church, but it seeks to assist the family and the church as we try to move forward
26:24 successfully, not in a defensive mode, but in an offensive mode as we seek to live our lives according to the holy
26:32 scriptures. FRC, is not gonna be whooped. You know, we're we're gonna fight. We're gonna take a stand. And, again, we don't retreat.
26:41 To thousands of Americans who love this country and happen to believe the bible as a definitive way to live, we will not be silent. We will not shrink back. We will not apologize for biblical truth. We will
26:53 continue to stand for it.
27:01 The following segment of Washington Watch is underwritten by Patriot Mobile, a champion of first and second amendment rights, military, veterans, first responders, and a strong supporter of the sanctity of life. To
27:12 learn more about Patriot Mobile's nationwide service across all three major US networks, go to tony perkins dot com.
27:23 Welcome back to Washington Watch. I'm Jody Heise, an honor to be filling in today for Tony, and thank you so much for tuning in. When the Democrat Party takes control of Congress this
27:35 January, make no mistake, it is going to look significantly different from the party of past years. A stronger and more radical progressive wing could actually set
27:47 up showdowns within the party, including America's support for Israel. As the Democrat party changes, some Jewish voters appear to be moving away from that
27:58 party. In fact, one exit poll comparison shows a nineteen point swing towards Republicans in last week's midterm elections. Most of them, in the Jewish
28:10 community still back Democrats, but there does seem to be a shift taking place. And what would that shift suggest? Joining us now to discuss this is Rabbi
28:22 Yaakov Menken. He's executive vice president of Coalition for Jewish Values, which is the largest rabbinic public policy organization in America. Rabbi Menken, welcome back
28:34 to Washington Watch. Always great to have you. And let's begin with the exit pollings. Seems to be a suggest, suggestion that, many in... Within the Jewish community are
28:46 moving towards Republicans. Is that true? And if so, why do you think is that happening?
28:53 Well, traditional... Thank you so much for having me. It's good to be back with you, and great to see you again. As... I I remember you as congressman, Jody Hice.
29:03 Yes, sir.
29:04 And it's great to see you.
29:06 Yes. Likewise.
29:08 And and I I know that, you know, the pro values traditional Jews have always been much further to the right than their,
29:19 left wing liberal, those who've traded in Jewish values for Western liberal values. Sadly, there's still entirely too many who remain there. I have
29:31 quipped that Abdul al Sayed got the endorsement of the Muslim brotherhood and approximately fifty eight percent of the Jewish vote. And that... That's a horrible combination. But, yes, like
29:43 you're saying, there's been a really dramatic change as a lot of Jews of this leftist liberal bent have finally realized these folks are not your friends.
29:56 They are out to get Jews. They pretend it's about Israel, but it's just straight out antisemitism, and they are recognizing it.
30:06 Yes. So from that perspective, what what do you think Republicans need to understand about Jewish voters if they hope to build on some of the gains that they've seen, especially as there's more
30:18 and more and more debate over America's support for Israel?
30:23 You know, to some extent, the Republicans just need to keep doing what they're doing because they're doing... If if you're doing the right thing, if you're working for values, then you're working for... You know, look.
30:34 It's it's all pulled out of what we call scripture, what you call the old testament. So those values, the founding fathers referred to the book of Deuteronomy more than any other book.
30:46 That's guidance that lasts, and that's going to work, and that's standing for truth to begin with. But also just recognize that these leftists are are going to be pulled
30:58 over when the... As long as the Republican Party continues to push out the antisemites in its own midst that unlike what the leftists have done,
31:10 people like Thomas Massie and Tucker Carlson do not represent the Republican Party. They're being pushed out. They're not being coddled. That's going to make... And it's gonna continue to make a difference.
31:23 Yes. I I agree with you. And we're seeing more and more as you mentioned all the antisemitism. We saw a lot more of that come into play this past weekend, in Philadelphia, for
31:35 example, where there are activists who targeted, several Jewish owned restaurants. And and then they started getting upset when there were some pushback against the antisemitism.
31:47 What does this growing movement tell you about what we're seeing here in America?
31:54 The the sad fact is that antisemites will always invert the reality. Like you said, they got insulted that there was pushback against their racism and antisemitism. Let me... Let's make
32:06 no mistake. What went on in Philadelphia was an antisemitic rally parallel to those that the Nazis used to conduct in the nineteen thirties. They were not targeting
32:19 Israeli businesses. Half the restaurants were co owned by a single Israeli American. The other three restaurants, however, that were targeted were owned entirely
