-- exclusive and it just a moment I'll be joined by an American hero air force fighter pilot captain Scott O'Grady.

Now he is blasting the Obama administration saying that they are out of their minds to hand over US made F sixteens to the radical regime that is now running Egypt.

But first let me explain the story behind this great American remember back in 1995 captain O'Grady's F sixteen were shot down over Bosnia.

By -- Soviet anti aircraft missile.

-- O'Grady was ejected from the plane and for six days O'Grady hid from the Bosnian Serb forces he gave bugs -- leaves and among other things in order to survive.

O'Grady was eventually rescued by brave US Marines.

And the courage that captain O'Grady showed garnered him respect and praise right here at home and now we need to listen to him more than ever.

So this -- the Obama administration continues to gift American made F sixteens and tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood regime in Egypt.

Captain Scott O'Grady says we need to be very afraid.

And joining me -- to explain more.

Or as a man himself captain could see a woman -- her -- great American.

Amazing story I was just.

I was just asking more questions about a six days they would they will be.

About this close to you when you first.

-- -- parachute they were that close to capturing him yes when I was surviving an enemy lines I had enemy paramilitaries who came within feet of me.

And they said that and since then the History Channel interview the guys that was search and field.

And they said they would have killed it.

Absolutely.

You know for propaganda reasons well thank god you're here honestly -- How do you begin to understand.

The rationale behind President Obama giving these tanks are best jets.

To Morsi a Muslim Brotherhood terrorist groups.

I think I think -- -- first called the deal was made to Mubarak who was an ally of the US.

And actually it was very friendly to the Israelis and the Israelis didn't have to feared attack from -- southern border.

Things have dramatically -- now we've gone from -- to not a freedom movement but a tyrannical.

Islamic theocracy with the Muslim Brotherhood.

Who is a sworn enemy of Israel and -- and a sworn enemy of the United States.

I think we really need to suspend and look at the issue of giving them foreign -- as well as well as weaponry.

Did did claiming that the reason they -- is because they -- made the deal.

They made that deal back in 2010.

And.

You know the president didn't have a problem we're making on the Canadian.

Pipeline the Keystone Pipeline so why couldn't they do here especially -- giving weapons to radicals.

Now I've talked to actually some individuals both an Israeli government and our government and the one respected institution in Egypt is the is the Egyptian military.

And now the generals that were in charge of the Egyptian military have been replaced.

Two.

Now have generals -- a sympathetic to a Muslim Brotherhood.

I would say that we should suspend all military.

Aid to the Egyptian military.

Unless we see -- regime change and all financial lakers were on top of a member -- given these -- free.

The -- Abrams tanks free.

And within one point five billion taxpayer dollars we have to understand that Islam is not just a theology.

It is a political ideology and historically from its origin has been militant.

And any time you have Islamic theocracy.

It is going to not be tolerant.

Of western secularism and it's also going to be oppressive.

It's also.

It's very open about their.

Declared -- aggressiveness of being an enemy to our way of life.

So why do we want to actually need our enemies will be aided him in coming to power.

Interest -- which was really -- eve.

Used to think that the Abrams tank portion of this deal is the worst part I was surprised by that but as you flew F sixteens you know how powerful they are.

Well the F sixteen so far are formidable weapon airfare and air -- ground fighting.

No tactical fighter that has all -- -- weaponry that it can unemployed.

But also I'm very confident.

In the Israeli air defense systems with their patriot missile batteries as well as air force to they can deal with the F sixteen deal with the Egyptian air force.

But what really assures me is delivering more Abrams tanks and actually -- -- you -- over 200 Abrams tanks gonna go to the Egyptian.

That would steamrolled through the desert and be a definite threat to Israel's southern -- and I don't I don't think we should allow that happen let me go back to 6773.

Member -- Israel's surprise surrounded on all sides.

They've got real problems because they're surrounded.

Almost everywhere by enemies and now the instability in the rise of radical Islamist.

-- referred to the Israelis as descendants of pigs and apes now.

Now they're supposed to -- our closest ally.

Well they're very open about their opposition aligned to see Israel wiped off the face of planet and as well as that there an -- -- states but.

Here's another thing we have to factor and that's very very critical.

Short term.

We've got to look at Iran.

From all accounts from what I'm hearing they'll have fissile material by July to have a bomb this year.

Yes this year and we have to have access to Suez Canal IE we have to go three Egypt.

So I'm not exactly sure what's happening politically for us to be able to have that access.

But we have to have that -- open for our.

Carrier groups.

If in case we have to take military action against Iran in the next five months.

Kept a very good to see my friend thank you thank you and I appreciate you outspoken us.

Why people Washington won't deal with us.

Makes no sense.
