Trump's UN Address: Standing Against Terror and Rewarding Hamas 0:00 From the heart of our nation's capital in Washington, DC, bringing compelling interviews, insightful analysis, taking you beyond the headlines and soundbites into conversations with our nation's leaders and0:12 newsmakers, all from a biblical view. Washington Watch with Tony Perkins starts now.0:19 We can't forget October seventh, can we? Now as if to encourage continued conflict, some of this body is seeking to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian0:31 state. The rewards would be too great for Hamas terrorists for their atrocities. This would be a reward for these horrible atrocities,0:43 including October seventh.0:45 That was president Donald Trump at the United Nations General Assembly earlier today warning that recognizing a Palestinian state would be a dangerous reward for Hamas. Welcome to this September0:57 20 third edition of Washington Watch. I'm Tony Perkins, your host. Thanks so much for joining us. Well, coming up, leaders from a dozen countries, including Turkey, used sharp language against Israel at the UN General1:09 Assembly meeting in New York. Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated in an interview from New York that he doesn't consider Hamas a terrorist organization, but a resistance movement. Ohio
1:21 congressman Warren Davidson will join me later. Also, president Trump signed an order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization yesterday and called for an investigation
1:32 into its funders. Kyle Shidler, senior counterterrorism analyst at the Center for Security Policy, will join me to explore what this means and what happens next.
1:49 Well, Well,
1:49 at the United Nations General Assembly meeting, president Donald Trump called for peace and justice in the Middle East, urging the world to stand against terror and protect innocent lives. He warned that recognizing a
2:01 Palestinian state now would reward those who commit violence against Israel and threaten regional regional stability. Joining me now is Washington stand reporter Casey Harper who has been
2:13 following this story throughout the day. Casey, president Trump, I I listened to his speech, read the the transcript. He did not hold back in this wide ranging speech at the UN today. Let me ask
2:24 you, what were the primary topics he focused on, and how are people responding?
2:31 Well, you're right about that, Tony. He's he did not hold back. President Trump issued a strong warning today to the international community. He said recognizing a Palestinian state now would reward Hamas terrorists for
2:42 their brutal terror attacks. Speaking at the United Nations in New York today, president Trump called for the immediate release of all the hostages, living and deceased, held by Hamas in Gaza.
2:54 Instead of giving to Hamas and giving so much because they've taken so much they have taken so much. This could have been solved so long ago.
3:06 But instead of giving in to Hamas's ransom demands, those who want peace should be united with 1 message, release the hostages now. Just release
3:18 the hostages now.
3:21 While many world leaders at the UN have vocally expressed support for Palestinian statehood, Israel and its closest ally, the United States, remained steadfast in opposing moves they argue would embolden Hamas
3:33 and undermine security in the region. And it's worth mentioning, Tony, another pretty shocking story today. The US Secret Service discovered and dismantled a network of electronic devices within a 35
3:45 mile radius of New York City that threatened government officials just hours before president Trump's UN speech. According to officials, those devices are capable of disabling cell towers and at
3:57 aiding cyberattacks and were found and seized across multiple sites.
4:02 Wow. Thanks, Casey. I I guess the new good news is they found it. They discovered it, but it also shows us how great the risk continues to be within our country. You know, sticking with the, what's
4:14 happening at the United Nations, you know, many countries, including Turkey, as I mentioned, have been highly critical of Israel. In fact, Turkish president Erdogan stated in an interview with Fox News that he does
4:25 not consider Hamas as a terrorist organization.
4:30 Yeah. That's right, Tony. In that interview with Fox, the Turkish president said he considered Hamas a resistance movement, but he didn't stop there. He used his speech at the UN General Assembly to call for wider
4:41 recognition of a Palestinian state, a move that aligns with recent pushes from several countries. He also accused Israel of committing what he called a genocide. He said innocent people are dying
4:53 and called for Israeli leaders to be held accountable under international law. It's worth noting that Turkey itself has a poor human rights record, and the president's government has been repeatedly accused
5:05 of suppressing political dissent, limiting press freedom, and persecuting religious minorities, including Christians. 1 high profile case, which I know you're familiar with, Tony, is the case of Andrew Brunson, who was
5:17 unjustly detained in Turkey for 2 years before being released in 20 18 following strong pressure from the Trump administration. But Turkey's decision is part of a growing opposition to Israel from more
5:29 than 140 countries, leaving it increasing increasingly isolated on the world stage.
5:35 Well, thanks, Casey. You know, as Christians, we're called to pray for Israel, especially, I think, now as its very existence is literally under a threat. And so I I I wanna invite all
5:47 of our viewers and listeners to, to pray and stand with Israel during this critical time. As it says in Psalm 1 22 6, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love you be secure. In fact, Casey, later this
5:59 week, we're going to have a special focus on prayer for Israel during, 1 of our, editions of Washington Watch. I wanna switch gears now. Health and human services secretary Robert Kennedy made headlines
6:11 yesterday, announcing a possible link between Tylenol and autism. Casey, what's the latest on that? That stirred up, quite a bit of opposition.
6:21 It did indeed. At the White House yesterday, president Trump and health secretary Robert f Kennedy junior suggested a possible link between autism, childhood vaccines, and the use of Tylenol during pregnancy.
6:34 First, HHS will act on acetaminophen. The FDA is responding to clinical and laboratory studies and suggest a potential association between acetaminophen
6:46 used during pregnancy and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, including later diagnosis for ADHD and autism.
6:57 Now the controversy is because those claims go against decades of established scientific research. Secretary Kennedy said the administration will launch an all agency effort to explore all possible causes of autism,
7:08 including toxins, vaccines, and drug exposures, and he urged doctors to use the lowest effective dose of Tylenol when necessary. Tony?
7:16 Well, it's a big issue. A lot of people care a lot about it as they should. So, I'm glad they're looking at it. Hope they will come up with answers. Casey, very quickly, any updates on the negotiations to extend, extend
7:28 government funding beyond September thirtieth?
7:31 Well, president Trump, he canceled a meeting with top Democratic leadership over the standoff over extra spending attached to the CR. And now with congress in recess this week, the deadline, October first, seems
7:43 we're closer and closer to a shutdown.
7:45 Well, we're gonna watch that very, very closely. Thanks, Casey. Always appreciate, the insights on what's happening. Well, joining me now to go further, into the details of yesterday's announcement on autism, is
Unveiling Links: Autism, Vaccines, and the Abortion Drug Crisis
7:57 virologist and immunologist doctor Robert Malone. He is founder and president of the Malone Institute, which aims to bring back integrity to government, the biological sciences, and medicine, all very much
8:09 needed. Doctor Malone, welcome back to Washington Watch. Thanks for joining us.
8:14 Thank you for having me on, Tony. These are interesting times.
8:17 Extremely interesting times. You know, autism has surged nearly 400 percent since 2000. It affects 1 in 31 American children. You know, those who are, kind
8:29 of dismissing what the Trump administration did yesterday say that's just because we're doing better reporting. But it's not just that. Let's talk about what the president said and didn't say
8:41 yesterday.
8:44 Well, I I it's hard for me to know where to begin, Tony, with that kind of a lead in. What I found striking was the first words out of the president's mouth at the start of the, press conference in which he said
8:56 that he had been waiting for 20 years for this moment. I believe those were his statements. And, of course, Barron Trump is, on the
9:08 verge of turning 20 years old right now. He also, referenced a meeting that he had. I had no idea that this had happened between him and secretary Kennedy
9:19 20 years ago. The president clearly is has, as a very, key, driver, his
9:32 advocacy for child children's health and his, strong feelings about autism. I wanna quote 3 things that he said in addition. 1 is I'm
9:44 making these statements from me. That's his words. I talk about a lot of common sense, and this is really significant. This will
9:56 be as important as any single thing I've done. The president feels very strongly about this issue as does the secretary, and the data
10:07 support him and the secretary that this is, in fact, a epidemic of disease in children, which has all the characteristics of an
10:19 environmental exposure. This is not genetics. There may be a genetic component, but genetics don't change this rapidly. Now the secretary and the president has emphasized the role
10:31 of folate receptors and, potential therapeutic intervention that may help some children suffering from autism and ADHD. But the whole press narrative
10:43 that this comes out of left field, there's no scientific support, that flies in the face of the fact that there have been data, and those data are quite strong that have existed in the
10:55 peer reviewed literature now for many, many years. We provided a review of some of those key studies in our posting today on malone dot news, and you can read the papers yourself and make
11:06 your own judgment about that. But I'll defer to the opinion of the head of the Harvard School of Public Health who unequivocally supports the thesis
11:18 based on their work and her work, that there is a link between autism, Tylenol, and, exposure in pregnancy. So
11:30 this is not a wackadoodle, you know, from left field, Donald Trump just shooting off his mouth situation. And and the the pushback that,
11:42 well, Bobby, show us the data. Well, the data have been out there for a long time. They've been suppressed.
11:48 Well, let me ask you about that because I back when I was in office serving on the health committee, we had hearings on this issue. And the the the research that pointed to possible connections
12:01 were dismissed. I wanna ask you this question. What role has big pharma played in either keeping this information from being taken seriously or outright suppressing
12:12 it?
12:14 So, Tony, to be honest with you, I have not seen clear evidence that pharma and the pharmaceutical industry advocacy groups are behind this.
12:26 It certainly stands to reason, but I don't see the smoking gun personally at this point. I just see the outcome. There's no question that these data have been suppressed, that there's the usual
12:37 methods of gaslighting and harassment and ridicule and, frankly, bullying that have been characteristic of the behavior of big pharma. But unlike,
12:49 for instance, the smoking gun letter from BIO saying they wanted to get Bobby by the end of September, I haven't seen that smoking gun having to do with Tylenol.
13:00 So what has kept this from seriously being considered? Why why is it taken until now? Just have about 45 seconds left.
13:09 I think it's a great question and 1 that I I don't know that we have the answer to. There has clearly been a campaign to suppress any information or discussion about autism and potential linkage.
13:21 And the case of Tylenol, understand that virtually all vaccines are associated with what's called reactogenicity, which includes fever. So what we have here potentially
13:34 is a what may be a correlation, not causation Right. Of people treating fever with Tylenol. And, of course, if that's the case, we have
13:46 generations of pediatricians that have been advocating for the use of Tylenol because all the other anti inflammatories are even worse.
13:54 Doctor Malone, we gotta leave it we gotta leave it there. We're up against a break, but we're gonna continue tracking this. Don't go away, folks.
14:00 3 years ago, the Supreme Court issued its historic Dobbs decision, a ruling that overturned Roe versus Wade, which for nearly 50 years imposed abortion on demand, silencing voters and
14:12 bypassing the democratic process across the country. The Dobbs decision was a huge step forward against abortion, but it didn't outright ban it. It returned the power to the people. Now,
14:23 29 states have laws on the books protecting life. However, there's a catch. Abortion numbers since Dobbs have actually gone up with an increase of 12 percent since 20 20,
14:35 climbing from 930000 to over 1000000 in each of the most recent years. So how can this be? The answer is simple, the abortion drug. Today, over
14:47 60 percent of US abortions involve abortion drugs, many of these without medical oversight. In 20 21, the Biden administration quietly removed bare minimum long standing safety
14:59 protocols for the abortion drug that have existed for 20 years to protect women from life threatening risks and ensuring informed consent. The Biden DOJ then declared that they would not enforce the
15:11 Comstock Act, which prevents the mailing of anything that causes an abortion. This is not only illegal, but also dangerous. A study shows nearly 11 percent of women who take the
15:22 abortion drug end up in the emergency room with serious complications. Unless the Trump administration reverses these reckless Biden era policies, pro life laws will remain
15:34 largely symbolic. Without a full review and repeal of mifepristone, unborn lives will remain in grave
15:41 danger, and pregnant mothers will
15:41 remain at risk. Let's stand for life and
16:00 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God, and the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory.
16:11 Family Research Council invites you to join our stand on the word bible reading plan as we reflect upon the life of Jesus, the word who dwelt among us. Come with us
16:23 and discover the glory of the word. Read the gospels read how Jesus transformed the lives of
16:35 common people and how those same people transform the known world through the power of the holy Spirit. Come with us for 10 to 15 minutes a day and read the entire New Testament before the new
16:46 year. Find our Bible reading plan and daily devotionals from Tony Perkins at frc dot org slash bible. Join us and stand on the word.
17:03 Welcome back to Washington Watch. Thanks so much for, tuning in on this Tuesday. Fascinating conversation with doctor Malone. Unfortunately, we ran out of time, but we're gonna get you back on. We're gonna talk more
17:13 about that, in the days ahead. I think it's something that definitely needs to be looked at. You there you know, so many people are affected by autism, and it's growing. It's it's rapidly.
17:24 What's behind it? Those questions need to be asked. Speaking of, drugs and all of that, you know, today, 1 of the greatest threats we face is the rapid rise of the
17:36 abortion drug mifepristone, now responsible for the majority of abortions in our nation, somewhere between 60 and 70 percent, if not higher. Now FRC is committed to expose the truth about the abortion drug,
17:48 protect mothers and the babies, and defend the sanctity of life. We now have more abortions today than we did before the overturn of Roe because of the abortion drug. So right now, thanks to generous friends
18:00 of FRC, your support will have triple the impact this week only. So to stand with FRC as we stand for life and for children for tomorrow, simply text the word unborn.
18:11 That's unborn to 6 7 7 4 2. Stand with us as we stand with the unborn and stop the scourge of abortion in this country. The fight is not over. Text the word unborn to 6 7 7
18:23 4 2. Alright. The president of Turkey, as I mentioned earlier, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, seems to be living in an alternative reality. 1 day afterShow more
