Van Jones HUMILIATED as he gets CORNERED By Abby Phillip in Heated Israel Debate [0:00-3:55]

that has a nuke and it's Israel. And so the question is, what are the circumstances, what are the boundaries? Are there any boundaries? They don't acknowledge that they have them. People know that they do. But are there any boundaries? I think that seems like a fair question to ask. I'm assuming that there's whether she's done publicly. Well, I mean, I presume that the reason that they've released this letter is because they're not. So I think that's the question. It's not a bad answer. Well, no, but this is a question. She's the concern. Is that has the White House done their homework? Do they know the answer to these questions? And if they do, can they do a classified review? Last question, please. Like, I don't know what you're talking about on that regard. There is an act of power against us, the Islamic Republic of Iran, North Korea, Russia, and China. Yeah, but the Egyptians are our allies. They're not allied with you. And dangerous world. But I would just say that I think it would be helpful for the Middle East and all the things that you laid out. Let's have another show about that. Yeah. Hello, everybody. Guys, this was a very odd segment. Just pay attention to Van Jones. But listen, guys, he's back and busting out the seams. We got Joe. I'm down two pounds, Barreli, along with our favorite most dedicated soldier, Agent Double Low, Deep Drow, Scott Jennings, on yet a new mission. Operation reporting to booty. Let's get into this segment and we'll talk about it. Tonight, the demand for more answers on Israel's nuclear arsenal. 30 House Democrats sent a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio urging the Trump administration to acknowledge Israel's nuclear program. And for more assurances given the ongoing war with Iran, they write, quote, Congress has a constitutional responsibility to be fully informed about the nuclear balance in the Middle East and the risk of escalation by any part of this party to this conflict. And the administration's planning and contingencies for such scenarios, we do not believe that we have received that information. CNN has reached out to the State Department for comment on this. It is interesting because this is sort of like an open secret. Everybody knows that Israel has new, because we don't know how many. Is it time for there to be more transparency around that? Well, it's not up to us. I mean, you know, this is a very interesting story because we were put in a bad, difficult position by the state of Israel. Some people out there might not know this, but the United States government tried really hard to prevent Israel from having nuclear weapons. It was not in the state and national interests of the United States under the administrations of Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson for Israel to have the bomb. The French engaged in a secret and a covert operation with Israel to help Israel build its capacity. The French were not straightforward with us about it, and the Israelis were not straightforward with us. By the end of the 60s, you have a new administration that comes into town, and the Israelis, the French have changed their policy, and they're now not selling weapons to Israel anymore. The Israelis come to our government and say, we'd like to buy F-force of phantom bombers. We're willing to do that, but we say to the Israelis, but you've got to announce that you will not be, you'll never introduce nuclear weapons into the Middle East, because we were very worried about an arms race in the Middle East, and we were afraid that if the Israelis had announced that they had nuclear weapons, the Egyptians would go to the Soviets and say, would you give us a nuclear guarantee, and we'd find ourselves in a Cuban Missile Crisis, but in the Middle East. So we're, the Nixon administration, which by the way, the Joint Chiefs of Staff didn't want Israel to have nuclear weapons, State Department didn't want them, really none of the leaders in that administration, wanted them to have nuclear weapons, but they had them. And so the US government came up with this fix, which is basically don't say to the world that you have them,
