TLS Exclusive Interview with Vice Chair of Trump's Israel Advisory Committee Dr Rich Roberts

hi my name is Dr Richard Roberts I'm the vice chairman of the Israel advisory committee at the Trump campaign I've been authorized by the highest levels of the Trump organization to uh give this interview today to the Lakewood scoop.com the Lakewood scoop.com has asked me to to speak about uh issues that I think are the most important to the Orthodox Jewish Community but I think that some of my observations which are my personal observations will be uh instructive or interesting to a wider audience the three issues that I plan to address today are Israel School vouchers and social justice or caring for the needy regarding Israel as the vice chairman of the Israel advisory committee I was charged with researching and writing the uh the uh US policies on the US Israel relationship and the Israeli Palestinian relationship as well as uh writing some uh bullet points uh which the campaign released today even though my name was not associated with the press release I did write about 2third of those points and that's totally fine with me I'm happy just to contribute but I want you to know that I did received input from a large number of people including people that were uh formerly inside the state department at the highest levels in United States government with security clearances and I also received a lot of help from a a gentleman named Noah poock and also uh a top Evangelical leader was a a contributor to these points also as I did this research it was interesting what emerged Hillary Clinton talks about the two-state solution that she supports it and I'm not going to go into the whole history only because I think that that's too extensive for uh this interview but what i' what I've what what the experts have told me and which makes perfect sense is there there is no two-state solution there cannot be a two-state solution because there are not two parties there are three parties to this conflict there's Israel there's F or the Palestinian Authority and Hamas so first off when Hillary talks when Hillary Clinton talks about a two-state solution uh this is just not the truth and one of the senior diplomats or ex senior diplomats I spoke to said he thinks that it's unfair to the Palestinian people the people in the Palestinian Street the average citizen to have them uh thinking hopefully towards a two-state solution when no such solution solution can even exist at this point and the idea that fah and which runs the West Bank and and Hamas are going to are going to get together and reconcile is simply not reasonable uh f is a fundamentally corrupt organ organization they're now serving the 12th year of the four their 4-year term in the uh presidency of the Palestinian Authority and they've SC they have embezzled billions of dollars it's not my inside information it's well known fah has bezzel billions of dollars from the Palestinian people in the form of of Aid money given by the United States and the European Union and others which have now been funneled to the personal accounts of the the leadership of of the Palestinian Authority and even before them Yer Arafat also did the same thing Hamas on the other hand is a fundamentalist Islamic um um terrorist organization that that is uh religiously driven and has no interest in a reconciliation with fat so there is no two-state solution that Hillary Clinton speaks about furthermore the Palestinian Authority has has um groomed and and taught and raised the last two generations of Palestinians to believe in a complete rejection of any peace with Israel whether it's in the Palestinian press whether it's in in cartoons with Mickey Mouse characters espousing how wonderful it is to be a suicide bomber and to kill Jews um in in um the religious sermons in the naming of streets and plazas in the West Bank being named after terrorists who blew up pizza restaurants or or schools and kill children the Palestinian Authority has done everything to to destroy Israel and not not accept or or negotiate towards any kind of real peace and the real peace doesn't does not occur when leaders get together if the leaders don't represent the people so even if if in behind closed doors uh Palestinian Authority leaders will speak about their desire for peace and if they can only have a their own state of their own this is just an attempt to divert uh attention from the real issue the real issue is a fundamental hatred and and and unwillingness to accept the existence of the Jewish State period so whether it's the BDS movement where the Palestinian Authority is trying to um economically destroy Israel around the world whether it's uh sending terrorists in to do to to uh um commit terrorist attacks randomly against Jews um or or anything the Palestinian Authority is doing they they'll do everything except except except um pursue real peace and they've prepared their people for a state where of of Mind where there is no desire for peace so how can Hillary Clinton keep talking about a two-state solution when no such solution exists Donald Trump on the other hand has said that he believes that Israel should continue to build in the so-call so-called settlements in the West Bank which are really uh beautiful Suburban towns where people live and their factories and and its economic Prosperity which is what Donald Trump believes in he believes in economic prosperity in building creating jobs having people be employed and and and and the truth is if the Palestinian Authority has any interest in creating a state where there is not bigotry against Christians and Jews and in which um in which there is not terrorism and in which there is some degree of freedom of speech and respect for people then the Palestinian Authority should embrace the idea that there are 500,000 uh Jews living in homes in their future territory this is a free gift to them this is free economic boom economic Advantage for them so whenever the Palestinian Authority talks about the occupation it's exactly the opposite it's the Palestinian authorities complete rejection and unwillingness to accept Christians or Jews as Citizens with equal rights in a country that they would they would run and it's the palestin authorities embracing of of terrorism a promoting of terrorism and financially incentivizing terrorism with money going to the families of terrorists that died in suicide bombings it's exactly that attitude that is prevented has prevented any peace from occurring so when Hillary Clinton talks about a two-state solution uh this is indicative or symptomatic of her her more farre ing um lack of any attachment to the truth she just doesn't care what the truth is she'll speak the what what the the what the current political um um politically correct environment wants to hear but in terms of speaking about the truth and a real solution she does everything except that and this is one of the reasons why I find Mr Trump to be so refreshing um so genuine um there was a comedian named Flip Wilson who's used to have a great line he said he said one of his skits he said what you see is what you get with well with Mr Trump yes it comes out unfiltered yes he's not a seasoned refined political type he's real he's a real person is he perfect no he's not perfect uh none of us are you know my first choice in the Republican uh primary was Scott Walker governor Scott Walker but when he left that race and I looked at the other candidates many of them are very very fine candidates but eventually Mr Trump really seemed to me to be the one who is laying it out on the line you know what you're getting with him you know what what he says is is is what he believes with Hillary Clinton she it seems like whenever you scratch the surface whenever you turn over a rock some um some deception some crime some Mi some misuse of her Public Power to enrich herself or her husband uh just comes flying out uh and and what do she do in response to these these Revelations she um uses uh misdirection a lot or she uses um uh deceit a lot for example just the most recent uh issue was that the FBI found 160,000 emails that came through Hillary Clinton's server and there may be confidential emails in there with with State secrets secrets of the United States of America so what is Hillary Clinton's response beenin she and her campaign say the FBI should release all the emails right away give them out so because we want to have complete full disclosure well well if if anybody is thinking if you're thinking at all with a little bit of intelligence um Hillary Clinton wants to make it look like she's in favor of complete disclosure and openness but the FBI has said there may be secret emails in there with secrets of the United States government so they can't be released and Hillary Clinton knows this she knows they can't be released so when Hillary Clinton says release all emails cuz I'm in favor of full disclosure and honesty it's a fundamentally dishonest um position by her that if you think about it at all is obvious and she does this constantly she'll either make statements that are clearly not true or she'll try to change the topic she go off to something else to to one of her isms that she'll accuse the Republicans of of having one of the phobias or isms where she'll where she'll try to make a personal attack on Donald Trump but the one thing she won't do is tell the truth and this is a value that Orthodox Jews hold in very high regard very high regard um we we believe that you need to tell the truth it's a fundamental commandment to tell the truth and and this type of deception in public office is not the kind of leader that we need um both on principle and especially when it's the solutions that that come out are not based in reality not based in how the world really works versus Donald Trump who's not a politician but a businessman a hard-nosed businessman who knows how to negotiate knows how that knows that people will look you in the eye and shake your hand and smile and not tell you the truth he knows how to negotiate against these people and he wants to put his skills to to work for the for the for the American people and to me this is a tremendous opportunity secondly I'll just go to school vouchers Mr Trump believes in in in uh in competition competition makes every everyone better if you're competing if a company's competing then they're always striving to give you better Services they don't need to compete then there's no there's no economic pressure on them to make things better so Mr Trump is is clearly in fav of school vouchers which will help all children in the United States to get better educations and Hillary Clinton is against School vouchers because her own political benefit is to have the teachers union supporting her so again she she puts the welfare and the advancement of our children uh behind uh Hillary's desire for political advantage and political gain lastly is social justice by social justice what I really mean is um caring about disadvantaged people caring about people in the inner cities Hillary Clinton is part of a leftist policy that has destroyed family units and created uh environments that have that have stalled the progress of so and victimized so many people in the inner cities Donald Trump on the other hand understands you need Law and Order you need to have in the inner cities environments where where people and families are not afraid that their children will be killed by stray bullets from drug gangs shooting it out and where they don't have to worry about crime that's that's how they can have the freedom of movement the freedom to to live a healthy life and also uh that that um jobs uh Mr Trump his emphasis is to make incentiv to bring jobs to the inner cities where people can work for a living in my experience most people I know actually everyone I know who lives in those environments they just want an opportunity they want to come to work they want to work hard they want to make a living and be able to raise their families with that dignity and that freedom and Mr Trump is represents that that Advantage for people in the inner cities and as Mr Trump says what do you have to lose right how are things going over the last four years the last 8 years the last 30 years in the inner city what do you have to lose he is a new he is a new orientation new for politicians but old in terms of a solution that works bring back jobs give people jobs let them be able be able to support themselves and give them a safe environment that people can lift themselves up it's very fundamental so in conclusion uh yes I am the vice chairman of the Israel advisory committee of the Trump campaign yes I'm all in for Donald Trump compared to Hillary Clinton as I said Donald Trump was not my first choice but compared to Hillary Clinton it's there's just it's not even close um uh Mr Trump is such a superior candidate for president over what has just been a lifetime a career with Hillary and her husband and people around them of of saying whatever they think the public wants to hear and enriching themselves with total disregard for what really works and for what really will help the American people so that's why I'm supporting Donald Trump for president thank you
