Why would a black man, no matter his position bow down to genocide. It breaks my African American heart.
Colonization.
Maybe he wants to get back at all the Arab slave traders
His colour isn't an issue. He's American.
In my country there is a saying about politicians (NO MATTER THE SKIN COLOUR!) "if you put swine in front of a feeding trough, it will eat, no matter if it's hungry or not.
Simple and easy, he'll bow down as long as it makes him rich. Find out who this criminal is. Find out about the Board of Directors at Raytheon (defense contractor and arms manufacturer) and you'll find his connection and his crimes.
There is no accountability with criminals. Lloyd Austin is no different.
He's a sitting board member at Raytheon. No conflict of interest there....
Right, same way thousands of Germans in 1930-40's were just following orders so oh well
Just another enabler.
He should be ashamed of himself as a soldier, that he can't even say with honor that USA is better than this.
Add him to the war criminal Colin Powell
Blood on your hands Austin. SHAME ON YOU
the blood is on the hands of Hamas=ISIS
Can you tell the terrir sponsors Russia and Iran this or have they not blood on their hands?
Putin's hands have no more space for innocent blood in Ukraine etc
No matter what Israel does, there is no accountability. This is unbelievable.
USA even still give them money to do more 😂 this is actually a great moment for american to know who really run their country
@@Tamayo.Sama2023agreed
Yep!
We give them 3 billion dollars every year for no reason and yet our politicians cower at the feet of aipac.
The question you should ask yourself is, WHO controls the White House & US congress, both aisle, both chambers.🤣🤣
Boycot Israel
Israel has the right to defend itself. Hamas got the war it wanted.
Hahahahaha
Israel continues to prosper.
@@aeolianharp1363😂😂😂
A Disgrace!
There is no any " Israel", the true name of the land is Palestine, "Israel " is a fake name given by Zionists to their occupation in Palestine.
Soon or late, Palestine will be free from the river to the sea, like Algeria, Vietnam, Cuba, Mozambique, India, Egypt, Philippines, Indonesia, Panama, South Africa, Cambodia, China, Tanzania,........history is full of examples. Ask all ex.colonialists, who killed millions of people to make their colonies everlasting.
The temporary colony that , you call "Israel " is not an exception, Zionist occupiers allready started to return to their countries,especially to Poland and Russia , the rest will follow.
Much respect 🫡 for this guy Ro Khanna. Lloyd is an idiot and needs to get dismissed from his position.
Yes and a used puppet
He was appointed to be puppet hence he cannot be dismissed
Ro Khanna pariah fellow should be kicked for supporting Hamas
@@philipchristopher-jy6eehe is a Terror agent in the American system seeking for the downfall of Israel and US
Ro Khanna for President. Thank you for standing up for defenseless people of Palestine
The defenseless people voted for their government that is using them as human shields.
Be patient, almighty Allah will help Palestinians and you will see what will be next , it’s the test
Defenseless? They elected Hamas, took billions of dollars of International aid to create a terror state and are armed to the teeth by Iran. Then they thought they could butcher 1200 Israelis and cheer in the streets about it, and they are surprised there would be consequences?
Ro Khanna pariah fellow should be kicked for supporting Hamas
President? Sure, why not? He can lie with the best of em.
I commend Rep. Ro Khanna he’s someone who has the courage to stand up for the suffering of the Palestinians in Gaza.👏
Why does this A'H not talk about Chinese that put in the concentration camp couple of million Muslims.
@@user-jc4sf7gr2g Oh you mean the one Israel started when it stole people's homes, slaughtered their children and then stuffed the survivors into the world's only and history's largest concentration camp?
Is that the war you're referring to?
Despicable
Just when you thought it could not get worse,No other country in the world would get away with this!!
What a funny world it is now, where the western, lefty feminists and gays are joining the ‘fight for freedom’ in the Middle East, where 15 nations still impose laws that force women to either “obey” their husbands and ask for permission to leave the marital home, travel or work and courts can instruct women to go back to their marital home.
Where gay activity is punishable by imprisonment in Kuwait, Egypt, Oman and Syria and by death in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. In Yemen and the Gaza Strip, the punishment might differ between death and imprisonment depending on the act committed.
Monty Python couldn’t make this up
Russia got away with it in Syria.
@@hillsane9262 More like US got away with it in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria & Afghanistan. Hell, they're still illegally occupying Syria as we speak
So 9/11 taught you nothing about terror?
@@talbenavraham1478 it's nothing like previous wars of the last 50 years
Ro Khanna is a true American.
He's very much not, they've been a force of chaos since day one.
@@czarkusa2018Not a fan of dissenting voices, huh?
A true human, not necessarily American.
Martin Luther is probably turning in his grave watching Austin talking the way he is here.
Outstanding question by Mr. Khanna. Shame on Biden admin and shame on Mr. Austin. Hypocrisy at it's worst.
"It depends on the situation?" Khanna is already spelling out the situation. Khanna should just go straight to it and say, why is it so hard for you to give a straight honest answer? You are in a position of leadership and decision making yet you can't be straight when it comes to what Israel is doing.
Absolutely
Very well said.
Failure no authority no morals
Exactly. That guy knows he is supporting a mass genocide. He refusing to admit it because he would be punished by his higher ups. He is an absolute coward.
USA killing Palestine and Gaza children
How do these people sleep at night after talking to their grandchildren.
Good question, that’s what always bothers me
It makes more sense to talk to the wall instead of asking questions from this yes man.
wallaye true
Shame on you America and your human rights us complicity in genocide in Gaza the us no longer has the rights to take about human rights when refuses to stop a genocide
Sell b.s. somewhere else! The Palestinians voted Hamas into power so reap what you sow!
Shame on America ??😅, a nation that doesn't even know what shame is !!, or the word shame itself ??
'It's not my decision'.. exactly what are his responsibilities? do we need him at all? He was out for days, and his boss didn't even know!
😂😂😂😂😂 His tongue is tied by AIPAC
Yes, AIPAC is his Lord and Master.
It is like asking a wolf if it would stop eating the chickens.
🤣🤣🤣
Gee Lloyd would it be ok to drop unguided munitions in an American built up suburban area? Austin appears at a loss.
How exactly do you use weapons of death "in a responsible way"?
He is not alone in this. They will pin it on him. How about Blinken, John Kerby, Biden, Mathew Miller. They are all in this!!!
They’re all criminals
All as bad as each other.
He stumbles and stotters.He doesn.t know his butt from a hole in the ground
No, he does. That's why he's measuring his responses. Honest actors don't measure their responses.
Thank you Ro Khanna children sre children regardless of nationality, race, color or religion
The congressman had fair questions that deserve simple answers. Trying to find out if there is any point that is actually too low for the secretary
When the defense secretary is a sitting board member of Raytheon...karma is creeping up to him.
I didn't know that. Isn't that a conflict of interest. I'm so sick of these corrupt politicians.
@@PDXLilyHe's not a sitting member. He was on the board for less than a year 4 years ago.
It seems that during his stay in the hospital and taking strong medications, his condition has completely deteriorated.The brain has completely dried up.
Maybe they had to perform an Encephalectomy.
How pathetic was Secretary Austin has absolutely no moral compass. He will answer to the almighty one day.
Austin's "lingo gymnastics" let's him down badly evading responsibility of aiding Genocide! Who does he think he is!? The olympic gold medalist of "lingo gymnastics"⁉️
Listening to this SecDef is sickening. He should be ashamed of himself.
Its unbelievable, how Sec. Lloyd Austin has answered the questions. On the other side, I am speechless that someone in the US is asking these kinds of questions.
Secretary of Genocide.
Despicable! What a shame
I have no words. This is shameful.
That guy got stuck
Austin gets his bill allready by his health status 👍👍👍
Khanna, haven’t you realised yet. Israel tells the US what to do not the other way around
Thank you, not enough people see it
He knows. He’s just seeing if he can get Austin to admit it.
🇺🇲 ... 🇵🇸
Why isn't "Lloyd-the-Destroyed"
in prison?
Like snakes they slither around the question. Unbelievable.
Lloyd Austin is worst thn Animals !
That is a racist language. Rephrase.
I don't know what's happening at Forbes but thank you for the excellent reporting ❤
Thanks you mister khanna
It's a game to them. You can't embarrass them, you can't catch them out, there is no situation where you catch them in an inconsistency and force them to change their position or make an admission.
You cannot gotcha narcissists. That's not a thing. If you call them out for being dishonest or abusive, **all they hear is praise*. From their perspective, you're just telling them that they are exerting power over you, and that warms their shrivelled little hearts like nothing else.
Seems like the game plan of the GOP. That and hardworking honest Senator's who are helping to bring Hunter Biden to justice, pushing hardline policies. Well done my friends.
Month 6: “we do expect Israel to utilize the weapons we provide in a responsible way” … but there will be zero repercussions if they continue to do the opposite. Thanks for your questions.
Isn’t Austin on the board for Raytheon?
Was. But he’s worked for them a huge chunk of his life and likely still has ties. Wouldn’t surprise me if he had shares in the company too.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
Poor choice for defence secretary.
My guess is this was not on MSNBC.
Thank you sir for doing your job Representative Khanna! You seems to be the only one who has the gall and courage to speak your mind!
Words, words, words, words, words, words, words.........ad nauseam!
Austin is just a Robot !!! No heart no guts to speak reality!!!
These people have no shame!
Blood in your hand, Austin shame on you
Lloyd Austin whatever you say i know and the world knows it is a lie.
Loyed austin has no balls to stop selling arms being an defremse secretary
Preodemt sometimes depdends defense secretary for any action abroad or dkmestic militarily
Very disappointing
Finally someone with balls.
Enforceable penalties for the misuse of restricted weaponry should be standard. It seems to be criminal negligence for the failure to have enforceable penalties put in place for misuse of weapons. The same should go for material aid for Gazans. Austin looks like a complete fool.
HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A FOOL, HE IS A FOOL.
I I I ummm I I ummmm this what they say when they don't have answers.
Never ask a question of a politician if you don't already know the answer.
That's really shameful how dump those kinds of persons to lead a country.
Shame, shame, and more shame!
He can't answer
Thank you Ro Khanna!!!
It 's not a war, A war is between two armies, You are giving the arms to kill civilians.
Tens of thousands of armed militants armed with hundreds of thousands of weapons and firing tens of thousands of rockets into Israeli cities, and there's no army? All peaceful woman and children? If hamas cared at all about the Palestinian people they would have used the billions of dollars of International aid to help the infrastructure, not build terror tunnels. How about just accept the existence of Israel and they could have trade, better jobs and a better life. And don't teach your children to hate and want to kill their neighbors from the time they are little.
Imagine the US Secretary of defence can even defend his own country's army and keeps defending the army of another country instead. What a shameful display...
SHAME ON YOU
Beautiful said ask him grill him...they should stop the foolishness... ❤
you expect??? when someone sponsor your war with billions fo dollars you are obligued to follow the rules that the sponsor gives you
Just “wow”!! I mean what else can you say…
Austin is saying .... I cannot commit to losing my kick back from the military industrial complex , for you see , I am one of them ... just like neocon Nikki
The Security of State hadn't answered ANY of the Dam Questions! Great job Mr. Security of State you have done well applauds for you 👏
Not the biggest Ro Khanna fan but credit where it’s due. This man came packing.
Mr Khanna thank you
Thanks senator
Shameful
You see all of them are the same behind doors all one but when you see them asking and answering they look opposite 😂😂😂
What a hypocrite our defense secretary doesn’t like to have a straight answer .
Very illusive moronic answers. Shear glaring hypocrisy.
You're literally asking a former Raytheon board member to halt weapons sales. 😂.
Bucha: Condemnation
Flour Massacre: Silence
2024: Uncommitted
How disgusting.
Thanks Ro Khanna for doing your job and doing it so well within the constraint of the hearing. Most of your colleagues apparently are too bought off to raise the type of questions you raised.
Reminds me of Colin Powell showing an Iraqi icecream truck to the UN, and claiming it to be WMD. Shameful😢
Thank you very much Ro.
I'm african living in the US and is fascinating how african Americans they have the same humor as us. 😂
Helpless in front of Presidential decision. No back bone
Ro is not grilling Austin, stacked questions and stacked responses. This solves nothing...
Let us forget your official ranks in the army, sir you are human being first. The question is what going on in those camps does it shakes you up and wake you up in the middle of night. If doesn’t now, then my case is closed with you dear sir.
You can tell Austin wants to be truthful. But he knows it would be the end of his career .
Thanks you sir for your question
Just when he's stuck at giving answer there's announcement of time's up.... Clearly there's huge pressure from establishment for not saying anything against Israel.
Thank Mr Johanna for pressing for the truth!!!🙏🙏🙏
Mr Ro if we got more people like you in this world than we got a perfect world 🌎 that's the truth ❤❤
The mental gymnastics is crazy
Thank you Ro
When hypocrisy comes with a smiling face
How is it not relevant to this conversation to point out the glaring conflict of interest in Lloyd Austin leaving his board seat position at Raytheon to be the secretary of defense and exactly how filthy rich are his "buddies" in the defense contract industry getting off the slaughter of innocent women and children...!!! Gotta love how the congressman interrupted him at the end preventing him from answering the question. 🤮🤦♂️
To Kanna for a president. Thank you for standing up for the truth
Thank You Thank you Mr Khanna for being human and doing the right thing and voicing against all the unimaginable atrocities our government is supporting
