5058, Why Fetterman Was the Only Dem Who Supported Trump

Good evening. I'm still reporting on John Federman and why he was the only Democrat at the State of the Union speech who supported President Trump. This is an interview Fedterman did this afternoon with Greta. It is remarkable because Federman seems to have really come to understand what is going on with the Democrats and he is unafraid of standing up for what is right despite what his Democrat colleagues think. Really remarkable. >> Seems like there is one last chance for Iran and that last chance happens tomorrow. US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Whit and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner will be in Geneva, Switzerland to meet with the Iranian delegation. Earlier, I spoke with Democratic Senator from the state of Pennsylvania, John Federman. Senator, thank you very much for joining me, sir. >> Oh my gosh, it's it's a pleasure to be here. >> Hi. >> Poor Senator Federman. It's like this is the first time anyone has bothered to interview him. He tries to smile, but that seems pretty unnatural to him. still once he gets into gear, he makes more sense than any other Democrat I've heard in decades. >> Thank you, Senator. Last night, um obviously the president of the stadium mentioned Iran. All eyes are now on Iran. Um and Steve Whit is headed to Geneva to perhaps negotiate something, but it doesn't look particularly favorable. What do you what is your reasonable expectation of what's going to happen? Well, like you know, everyone's talking about the the State of Union speech and then when that came up last night, I think I might have been the only Democrat to to stand up and clap. You know, the things that when the president referenced uh Midnight Hammer and and military uh for against Iran. So, so for me with that, I don't think we can ever negotiate with Iran because the last time there was a significant kind of treaty that ended up with 900 lb of just below weapon grade uranium enrichment. >> Bravo. No, you don't negotiate with people who essentially lie for a living. So, and now after what Iran has done, they they killed tens of thousands of their own young people in there. So, this is clearly where we're at. And I also think that the Iranian regime, everything that we read and see, that's the regime has been the weakest that they've been in decades right now. So, I think we have a unique opportunity to topple it or to install a better a better way forward for Iran. So, I'm open to that. And now I just I think I've I've heard that we are going to bring the Iranian war powers bill up tomorrow and I just said that I'm going to vote that down again because I think the president absolutely needs to have the flexibility to have those kind of targeted kinds of so I absolutely support that as a Democrat but as someone I think that's the right thing in the region. Well, the the other thing that's a little perplexing about that you mentioned bringing up the Iran Iran resolution tomorrow is this is that is that we have not declared war the United States on any country since about 1942 on Romania. We have had so many military actions whether you're talking about uh the Korean War or Vietnam or actions in the Middle East. We've had so many. And we also know that the War Powers Act of 1973 specifically gave President or that said the president then Nixon could take military action, but he had to then brief Congress within a certain period of time. So what is the purpose tomorrow of of voting on this? >> You've just got to love it when a United States senator simply says, "I don't know. >> I I I don't know. I I think it's they just want like a spot referendum on for Iran. And now to even bring that up, I mean now we're we're right now we're staring Iran down right now. What kind of a message does it send that we're just going to put this out? And I think every single Democrat other than myself would vote for that. So, so for me, uh, I don't see any value in it based on the timing right now, but you know, I absolutely think that the president been has done the right thing about Iran consistently. And if anyone anyone in the in Congress is committed to pre prevent Iran from developing a nuclear bomb, do you just want to talk about it or are you willing to just, you know, provide the president the latitude to to continue to to destroy their program? And why else? Why else are they enriching uranium? Because clearly they want a nuclear bomb. And can you imagine what that means for Israel, for the region, and actually for the world right now if they were able to. So I'm proud to stand with in this issue with the president, and now he deserves to have the latitude, and I'm going to [clears throat] vote no. And that that as far as I know, that that that dooms it because there won't be enough votes. this guy is so wellspoken and completely devoid of fancy politician talk. >> The I I don't understand um the Democrats not standing as you mentioned about this last night and that you were the only Democrat because you know I've been around long enough I know that the Democrats you know they're good Americans and and they want nobody wants nobody wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon. Democrats don't want Iran to have a nuclear weapon. So really so so I don't understand is it just theater to or just because they hate Trump so much or what is it because this is a perplexing problem and as you as you note if Iran gets a nuclear weapon the world changes as we know it. Greta has been a leftleaning journalist all of her life. She appines that Democrats are good Americans. uh Greta, that was the way it was in the pre-Clinton era, but especially once Obama got elected, that no longer exists. From that point on, Democrats were nothing more than the party of deception and voter rigging. >> Yeah. I I mean, it it just I mean, they absolutely executed tens of thousands of their own young people. I you know, we've all seen those pictures of those warehouses with body bags and and those poor parents had to walk around and and just see the horror and the carnage just to try to identify your child. I mean, this is who they are. This is what Iran does. And now remember, Iran is the one that that created Hamas and Hezbollah and created this K and the 107 massacre, too. So that's why that's why I don't know why that just seems to to bother more Democrats than me, but it does me. And now if anyone they have the they always say the same thing. Well, we can't allow them to acquire a nuclear bomb. It's like yes, but if you're willing to do that or to back someone to that can actually make that happen, I'm I'm proud to do that. Well, but it but the thing is that that when it comes to issues of war, we've had huge debates in this country going back about war and a huge discussions, but when push comes to shove on something so important as wars, we do sometimes try to show a little more immunity, a little more unity even when we have oppositions in opinions. And that's what is so striking about the Democrats just, you know, it it does it's not like it doesn't feel like it was a policy disagreement. It seemed more like a personal disagreement with the president. They hate him because he's standing in the way of their new direction, that is to destroy the United States as we know it. Many of them are probably taking money directly from China. Trump knows what they're up to and he's still willing to fight, fight. Well, it it just sometimes it's like but I mean like this this is our government right now. This is the Senate. We're so dysfunctional. We kept our government shut down for 44 days. And again, I happen to be one of the rare Democrats to refuse to vote that. And now here, our DA, our entire entire DHS apparatus is shut down. And I'm the only Democrat that votes against that now, too. We can't even agree on keeping our government open. you know, we now we, you know, like if you take you take our, you know, we don't deserve to be part of this conversation at this point right now because, you know, like get our g get our act together and reopen our government and now so that's why the situation in Iran is fluid and now that's why we could just allow the president to make those kinds of smart strategic kind of strikes at Iran where we are now. And and these decisions are never easy for any president to make on either side of the aisle. These are very Yeah. They're the toughest ones for presidents to make. >> Yeah. And and sometimes this kind of targeted target kinds of strikes can actually bring peace. Bring peace. Now it's like I think I was might have been the only one that clapped about announcing, you know, the Gaza. That was a big deal, you know, like it brought back all of the hostages in and out. And now I think that's a that's a big thing as as well. So I don't know why I don't care you know the party of of of the president who was behind all of this. So for me you have to celebrate that and I don't know why uh I want to focus on the things that we can agree and know really back those things. >> Senator Federman, always nice to talk to you, sir. Thank you.
