1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: Welcome. It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,520 Speaker 1: with you and Senator this week has been truly a 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: crazy week. It's been a crazy two weeks with these 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: two hurricanes that hit the people of Florida, not once, 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: but twice. Our thoughts and prayers go out to them 6 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,640 Speaker 1: and the recovery efforts that are down happening in Florida 7 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: right now. And I think we should obviously take a 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: moment and just say we are praying for the people 9 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: of Florida, We are with you right now and all 10 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: of those have been affected by these last two hurricanes. 11 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: But there was also something else that happened that was 12 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: extremely important, and it got overshadowed because of the weather, obviously, 13 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: and that was the one year anniversary of the attack 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: on the people of Israel. 15 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right, and let's start by saying to 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 2: the people of North Carolina that are still suffering from Helene. 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: And Helene was a horrific hurricane. There was enormous death 18 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 2: and devastation. And to the people of Florida that are 19 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,679 Speaker 2: suffering from Hurricane Milton, and I know there are there. 20 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: We we've had I think the latest death count is 21 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,400 Speaker 2: nine people have lost their lives. There has been massive suffering. 22 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 2: I will say you and I are both Texans. Texas 23 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 2: understands full well the misery of hurricanes. We faced hurricane 24 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: after hurricane, we face suffering and death. And I just 25 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 2: want to say we are praying for the people of 26 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 2: North Carolina and Florida and everyone in harms Way, but 27 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 2: especially those two states which which bore the brunt of 28 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 2: these two hurricanes. 29 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: Uh. 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: We are praying for the first responders we know are 31 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: still rescuing people in harms Way and and and and 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: for the federal relief efforts from from FEMA and and 33 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: HUD and the Small Business Administration. There are enormous resources 34 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: that become available to those who were hurting. And I 35 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: will say, having come through Hurricane Harvey, which devastated Houston, 36 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: you're in my hometown, in the entire Gulf Coast, and Rita, 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 2: a Nike, and all all of the different hurricanes Texas 38 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: has faced. Our prayers are with the people who are 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: suffering from these two hurricanes. This podcast, we wanted to 40 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 2: do something different, which is this past week was the 41 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 2: one year anniversary of October seventh and October seventh was 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 2: truly a horrific day. I believe it's an historic day. 43 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: I believe one hundred years from now we will be 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 2: talking about the horrors and evils of October seventh, and 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 2: so on October seventh in Dallas, I gave a speech 46 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: memorializing and recognizing what happened on October seventh, but also 47 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: acknowledging the positive benefits that ironically came in the wake 48 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 2: of October seventh and that have made a real difference. 49 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: So in this podcast, rather than talk about the news 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: of the day, which which is important and we'll talk 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 2: about again on Monday, we wanted to give you an 52 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 2: opportunity to hear the remarks that I gave on October seventh, 53 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: because I think they're important. And so that's what's about 54 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: to follow. 55 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Right now, Before we get to that, I want to 56 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: tell you about our friends over at Blackout Coffee.

Uh, just to put into 81 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: perspective what has happened over the last year since the 82 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: horrific attack on the people in Israel. 83 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 2: God bless Texas and God bless the state of Israel. 84 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: We're here today on a solemn occasion. 85 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 3: We're here today to remember one year ago the horror 86 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 3: that the world saw unfold. 87 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 2: On October seventh, three hundred and sixty five days ago, 88 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 2: genocideal Hamas terrorists entered southern Israel. They went from kibbutz 89 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 2: to kibbutz and from home to home, murdering virtually everyone 90 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 2: they found, deliberately targeting civilians, targeting the elderly, targeting women, 91 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 2: targeting children, and even toddlers and infants. And they murdered 92 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: them for one reason, because they were wish. October seventh 93 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 2: is the single worse mass murder of Jews in a 94 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: day since the Holocaust. Eleven hundred and ninety five people 95 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 2: were murdered on October seventh. Two hundred and fifty one 96 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: people were taken hostage. 97 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 3: On October seventh. 98 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: We saw terrorists using rape as a deliberate tool of terror, 99 00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 2: raping women, raping young girls. I will tell you I 100 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: have had the horrible displeasure of watching videos of what 101 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:04,680 Speaker 2: unfolded on that day. Videos from security cameras in Israel, 102 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: videos from body cameras and cell phones that the Hamas 103 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 2: terrorists took. Understand what they did that day. They were 104 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: not hiding, they were proud of. They were there to 105 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: murder and rape, and their only regret of the day 106 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 2: is that they did not murder more. When you watch 107 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 2: those videos, I spent nearly an hour watching videos in 108 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: the Senate. Roughly half of the US Senate came to 109 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: watch it. I saw in those videos one hundred and 110 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 2: thirty seven people being murdered. I will tell you it 111 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 2: makes you violently sick. It's not like watching a Hollywood 112 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 2: shoot them up or to make believe these are real 113 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: people being murdered for racist and genocidal purposes. It was 114 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: striking also listening to the Hamas terrorists, to the utter dehumanization. 115 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: Of Jews. 116 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 2: You saw them severing the heads of Jews, you saw 117 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 2: them mutilating the bodies. You saw them referring repeatedly to 118 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 2: the Jews they were murdering, not as he and not 119 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 2: as she, but as it, as something less than human. 120 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: One of the most chilling aspects of watching those videos 121 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 2: was listening to an intercepted phone call of one of 122 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: the Hamas terrorists calling home to his parents, and he 123 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: was thrilled. He was overjoyed to report how many Jews 124 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 2: he had murdered that day. And his father cries out 125 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 2: in great celebration. And what does he say, Call your mother, 126 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 2: Tell your mother about this wonderful act you have done 127 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 2: in the wake of the Holocaust. Never forget and never 128 00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: again was said many times. It should be said the 129 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: same for October seventh. Now October seventh was Nazi ends 130 00:09:53,280 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 2: carried out using Nazi purposes. Will say, though, as horrific 131 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 2: as what happened on that day was, we also know 132 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: that God is a good God. 133 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: The Book of. 134 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: Genesis, after Joseph has been sold into slavery by his brothers, 135 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: years later, he encounters his brothers again, and his brothers 136 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: are terrified for what they have done to their brother 137 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 2: and Joseph says to them in the Book of Genesis, 138 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 2: what you have intended for evil, God intended for good. 139 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 2: And I will say, as horrific as evil as what 140 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: happened on October seventh was, there have been at least 141 00:10:50,880 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 2: two seriously important and profoundly beneficial consequences that have unfolded 142 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 2: in the year that followed October seventh. Number one was clarity. 143 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 2: Clarity is important with what is unfolding in Israel. In 144 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 2: my view, there are no shades of gray, there is 145 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: no ambiguity. This is a contest between good and evil. 146 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: This is a contest between civilization and barbarism. 147 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 3: And that clarity is important. 148 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: It's important in Israel, it's important in Europe, it's important 149 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,880 Speaker 2: in America. And I'll tell you it's important in the 150 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 2: political sphere. Now listen, this is by design not a 151 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,920 Speaker 2: political event, But I will say this October seventh and 152 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: each day that followed is an opportun tunity for everyone 153 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 2: holding elected office to. 154 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 3: Make a choice where do you stand? 155 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: And everyone in a position of leadership can decide do 156 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 2: you stand with Israel or do you stand with the terrorists? 157 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: Well as for me and my house, we will stand 158 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: with Israel. That clarity is profoundly important throughout elected offices. 159 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 2: I will tell you in Congress there are too many 160 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 2: of my colleagues that cannot figure out which side of 161 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 2: that divide. 162 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 3: We should stand on. 163 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 2: There are too many of my colleagues whose immediate response 164 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 2: following these horrors, we need a cease fire. Now, I 165 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 2: will tell you. On the night of October seventh, at 166 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 2: three in the morning, the State Department sent out a 167 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: tweet from the Office of Palestinian Affairs, and it said 168 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: Israel must not respond, there must be no military response whatsoever. 169 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 2: My team and I saw that at three in the morning, 170 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 2: and we responded on Twitter immediately and said this is disgraceful. 171 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: Whoever wrote it should be fired and it should be 172 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 2: deleted immediately. Within minutes, the State Department deleted the tweet. 173 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 2: The next day, October eighth, we discovered that the tweet 174 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 2: was not an anomaly sent by some low level staffer, 175 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: because Tony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, on October eighth, 176 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: sent out a tweet and said, I have just finished 177 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 2: speaking with the Turkish Foreign Minister and we have agreed 178 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: that Israel must not retaliate and there must be no 179 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 2: military response whatsoever. Again, I responded and said this is 180 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: utterly disgraceful and should be deleted. 181 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 3: Again, they deleted it within minutes. 182 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 2: Every day since then, elected officials have had a choice, 183 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: where are you, Who are you? Who do you stand with? 184 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 2: Some have risen to the occasion, and others have not. 185 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 2: There's also been clarity on college campuses. I know that 186 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,160 Speaker 2: every one of us here has been utterly horrified that 187 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: October seventh has revealed the vicious anti semitism on so 188 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 2: many of our campuses. And I point out to you 189 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: that I will use the word revealed on purpose, because 190 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: nobody with any sense could possibly maintain that that anti 191 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: semitism wasn't there on October sixth, but a whole lot 192 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 2: of people had difficulty seeing it. And we've seen across 193 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 2: our country, we've seen viciously anti Israel, anti Semitic protests, 194 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: many of which are unequivocally Prohamas. Columbia University one of 195 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 2: the first places these protests started. It got so bad 196 00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 2: that the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia sent an email to 197 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: two hundred seventy Jewish students at Columbia advising the Jews 198 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 2: who are students there, stay home, do not come to class, 199 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: do not come to campus, because Columbia University cannot and 200 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: will not protect your safety. I got to say that 201 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 2: is utterly and completely disgraceful. If you watch the videos 202 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 2: of those protests, you listen to what they're chanting. Protesters 203 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 2: at Columbia were chanting, among other things, we love Hamas. 204 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: To understand the viciousness of it. Some Columbia students were 205 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: bravely standing up waiving American flags in Israeli flags Jewish 206 00:16:53,960 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 2: students who had the courage to face the mob. There 207 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 2: was a picture on Twitter of a woman wearing a mask, 208 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: because these protesters are oh so brave. They hide and 209 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: are terrified for the world to know who they are. 210 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 2: But she was wearing a mask and holding up a sign, 211 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: a cardboard sign that she had hand lettered. The sign 212 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: said al Cassam's next targets, with an arrow pointing at 213 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 2: the Jewish students behind her. Al Casam is the military 214 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:40,480 Speaker 2: arm of Hamas. I'm going to tell you something amazing. 215 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 2: The Internet being what it is, the mask did not 216 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 2: serve to hide this young woman's identity. She was not Palestinian. 217 00:17:54,400 --> 00:18:00,160 Speaker 2: She was a young blonde girl from Atlanta, Georgia. Those 218 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,639 Speaker 2: parents are multi millionaires and they set her off to 219 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 2: the Ivy League to go learn something. And she was 220 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 2: taught that it is perfectly acceptable and even praiseworthy to 221 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 2: call for the murder of your fellow students because they 222 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: are Jews. If you don't understand the poison that is 223 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: being taught to our students. It was powerfully, powerfully illustrated 224 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 2: the University of Washington. The protesters chanted to Jews, go 225 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: back to the ovens. 226 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: This is not ambiguous. 227 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 2: And I will tell you I was visiting with a 228 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 2: friend of mine on the left, very successful tech entrepreneur. 229 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 2: He's been a democrat his entire life, and he expressed 230 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: from frustration, bewilderment, where is this vicious anti Semitism coming from? 231 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 2: And I told him it is the consequence of the 232 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 2: poison that has been poured into the minds of our 233 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 2: children at so called elite universities now for many years. 234 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 2: This is the fruits of cultural Marxism. This is the 235 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,920 Speaker 2: fruits of a leftist ideology that divides the world into 236 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: two categories, oppressors and victims. And for the modern day leftists, 237 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 2: they have defined Palestinians as victims. 238 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 3: And Jews as oppressers. 239 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: And I want you to note that I didn't say Israelis. 240 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 2: I said Jews, because the target of their enmity is 241 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: not just those who live in Israel, but any Jew 242 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 2: anywhere on the face of the planet. 243 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 3: And to the academic Marxist. 244 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 2: Once you have someone defined as an oppressor and as 245 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 2: a victim, our children are taught to favor the violent 246 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: revolutionary overthrow by the victims of the so called oppressors, 247 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 2: to cheer on the violence, to celebrate it. If you 248 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: don't understand that, take a look on October eighth at 249 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: the Chicago chapter of Black Lives Matter that tweeted out 250 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:46,439 Speaker 2: a meme said we stand with Palestine, and in the 251 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 2: meme was an image of a paraglider. Now understand, they 252 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,959 Speaker 2: were not saying we think geopolitically, we ought to approach 253 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 2: it to state solution. The paragliders, as you know, is 254 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 2: how the Hamas terrorists came to the music festival to 255 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: murder young people. And the Chicago chapter of Black Lives 256 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: Matter was not being ambiguous on where they stand. They 257 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 2: stand with Hamas because they were murdering Jews. That clarity 258 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 2: is important. And I will say some commentators have said, well, 259 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 2: it is terrible that this is happening all over the country, 260 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 2: and I have to say, in the interest of accuracy, 261 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 2: that facts matter. It is not happening all over the country. 262 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: It is happening in bright blue states where the elected 263 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: officials agree with the protesters. It's happening in New York. 264 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 2: It's happening in Pennsylvania. It's happening New Jersey, happening in Illinois. 265 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 2: It's happening in Washington State. It's happening in Connecticut. It's 266 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 2: happening in Massachusetts. It's happening in California. You know where 267 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 2: it's not happening. It's not happening in Florida. You know 268 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 2: where it's not happening. It's not happening in Texas. In Texas, 269 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: we saw protesters at the University of Texas and within 270 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 2: hours the police arrived and arrested them. 271 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 3: I talked about clarity. 272 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 2: This is an opportunity for everyone in leadership, every elected official, 273 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 2: every university president, every dean of a faculty, every professor, 274 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: to say where you stand. But I'll tell you what 275 00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 2: the answer should be, which is that no one has 276 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: the right to threaten the safety of another student. And 277 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,360 Speaker 2: if you threaten an harass another student because they are Jewish, 278 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 2: you should be arrested, you should be prosecuted, you should 279 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 2: be expelled, and if you're a foreign student, you should 280 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 2: be deported. 281 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: I want to take a moment to talk about sathing 282 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: that's incredibly important, and that is this, do you have 283 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: a firearm? Do you carry a firearm? Well, are you 284 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,919 Speaker 1: protected if you ever have to use that firearm. I 285 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 1: asked that question because I know exactly what happens when 286 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: you're involved in a shooting. I had to use my 287 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: firearm to save my life, and I can tell you 288 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,479 Speaker 1: the way that I was treated after I use that 289 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: firearm was like, maybe I was a criminal, Maybe I 290 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: was a murderer. Now, thankfully the system worked the way 291 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 1: it was supposed to, but it doesn't always work that way, 292 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: and you may need real legal defense, and that is 293 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: where delta defense comes in. Everyone thinks they're keeping their 294 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: family safe, but are you really And that's the question 295 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,719 Speaker 1: you have to ask yourself when it comes to our 296 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: twisted legal system and DA's that have become activists that 297 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: like to let criminals walk free, and they do not 298 00:23:55,680 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: like Second Amendment advocates gun unners like yourself, and that 299 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: is where things have changed. You have the risk of 300 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: losing everything if you actually protect yourself with your Second 301 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 1: Amendment rights, and that is exactly why there are eight 302 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 1: hundred thousand Americans that are members of the USCCA because 303 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 1: not only will they get you access to their Protector 304 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: Academy to learn vital skills like precision shooting and how 305 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,240 Speaker 1: to fortify your home against criminals, but you also get 306 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: access to the twenty four to seven Critical Response Team 307 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: and the included benefits of self defense Liability insurance to 308 00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 1: make sure you and your family are prepared for anything. 309 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: And for a limited time, text the word America to 310 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: eight seven two two two. That's eight seven two two two. 311 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: Text the word America and get the uscca's free Life Saving, 312 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: Concealed Carry and Family Defense Guide and a chance to 313 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:04,199 Speaker 1: seventeen hundred dollars to buy any self defense gear you 314 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: need before it's two eight. Texta word America right now 315 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 1: to eight seven two two two right now. 316 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 2: At MIT, Jewish students reported that they were afraid to 317 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 2: go to class because of threats of violence. The president 318 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,520 Speaker 2: of MIT said, well, we cannot discipline the people threatening 319 00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 2: the Jewish students because if we discipline them, they'll lose 320 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: their student visa and be deported. You need to understand 321 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 2: the ideological rot. 322 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 3: That has infused so much of. 323 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 2: Our elite academy. And by the way, it's been a 324 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:59,159 Speaker 2: year since October seventh, have you noticed the protests on 325 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:06,800 Speaker 2: the campus. They're not springing up organically, They're not spontaneous. 326 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: Am I the only one who's noticed that the tents 327 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 2: all match? There is real money funding these anti Israel, 328 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 2: anti Semitic, anti American protests, and that money is coming 329 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: from Iran, That money is coming from Cutter, and that 330 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 2: money is coming from prominent leftists in this country who 331 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 2: are also funding prominent politicians in this country. I want 332 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,399 Speaker 2: to ask you, in a year, has there been a 333 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: single investigation by the Department of Justice or the FBI 334 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 2: to follow the money. Under Title six of our Civil 335 00:26:55,320 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: Rights Law, a university cannot create an environ that is 336 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: threatening to the safety of a student based on race 337 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: or ethnicity. Has there been a single university in America 338 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 2: who's had their federal funding cut off because they refused 339 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: to protect Jewish students on campus? Answers, No, not one. 340 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 2: That's not an accident. We need a Department of Justice 341 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 2: that stands with our students. 342 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: By the way, I. 343 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,120 Speaker 2: Will note the protesters that were arrested in the University 344 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 2: of Texas, roughly half of them had no connection to 345 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 2: ut They weren't students there. They just came in to 346 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: agitate and threatened violence. The same was true at Columbia, 347 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,159 Speaker 2: the same was true at fordom that when people have 348 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: been arrested, about half of them are either radical Islamist 349 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 2: or Marxists or just anti American. 350 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 3: Paid violent thugs. 351 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 2: Clarity matters, and by the way, I will say that 352 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 2: clarity is not entirely delineated on partisan bases. I will 353 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: say one of the most astonishing things to me has 354 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 2: been the courage my colleague John Fetterman has shown on 355 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 2: this topic. I'll confess when Senator Fetterman was elected from Pennsylvania, 356 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: I had no reason to anticipate that he would show 357 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: that kind of courage. But he has been astonishing. And 358 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 2: I will say when giving a commencement address, when he 359 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: removed his hood from Harvard University as a fellow Harvard grad, 360 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 2: I was proud that he was willing to stand up 361 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 2: to the shameful behavior of his and mi alma mater. 362 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 2: Clarity is an opportunity for everyone on each and every 363 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 2: day to decide where do I stand. There is a 364 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 2: second enormously beneficial outcome of the horror and evil that 365 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 2: was October seventh, which is that Israel has stated its 366 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: commitment to utterly and completely eliminate Hamas and now eliminate Hesbelah. 367 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 2: And I have to say, eliminating Hamas and eliminating Hesbela 368 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 2: is unquestionably in the national security interest of Israel and 369 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 2: unquestionably in the national security in interest of America, and 370 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 2: US policy should very simply be we stand unequivocally with 371 00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 2: Israel for as long as it takes. I listened to 372 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 2: colleagues of mine in the Senate, in the House for 373 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 2: their only response to what happens at Israel is we 374 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: need a cease fire. 375 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:31,240 Speaker 3: Now. 376 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 2: What is it that leads American politicians to say our 377 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 2: view should be please, please, please stop killing the terrorists. 378 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: Thank you. 379 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 2: When I got on Southwest Airlines this morning and flew 380 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 2: from Houston to Dallas to come here today, a woman 381 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 2: standing in the line came up to me and said, please, 382 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 2: we need to cease fire now on the one year 383 00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: and of nursery of October seventh. I'll tell you, month 384 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 2: after month after month, every Saturday morning at seven am, 385 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 2: I had anti Israel, antisemitic protesters in my front lawn, screaming, yelling, 386 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 2: ringing cowbells, blowing whistles, screaming expletives at the top of 387 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 2: their lungs, waking up my daughters, waking up my neighbors 388 00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 2: and their young children, week after week after week. And 389 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 2: I'll tell you when I encounter, as I do with 390 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 2: some regularity, people on airplanes who will yell at me, 391 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 2: we need to cease fire now, and I ask them, really, 392 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: tell me, why is it that you side with genocidal 393 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:59,480 Speaker 2: maniacs carrying out Nazi ends? How do you look at 394 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:04,320 Speaker 2: what happened and say the murderers and rapists are the 395 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 2: ones we stand with. But part of it is a 396 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: lot of people are lied to. They don't know the 397 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 2: truth they are being told. The victims, in our definition 398 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 2: are the good and the oppressors are the evil. That's 399 00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:26,520 Speaker 2: why that clarity needs to continue. I will say, if 400 00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 2: you look at Israel's distribution of pagers, I've got to 401 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 2: say that is one of the most extraordinary intelligence and 402 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: military operations I have ever seen when I saw it 403 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 2: on the news. When I read about it, it read 404 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 2: like a James Bond novel. If I don't know if 405 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 2: any of y'all are fans of the show, Fouta Fouda 406 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: is phenomenal. If you tried to write it in a 407 00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,520 Speaker 2: plot of Fouta, they wouldn't publish it because they would 408 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 2: have said, this is ridiculous. And I will say what 409 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: is what was truly elegant about it is the people 410 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 2: who received the pagers were decided by the leadership of Hesbela. 411 00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 2: The leaders of Hesbela said, all right, you are enough 412 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:49,440 Speaker 2: of a genocidal murderer that I want you on page. 413 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 2: They selected every person. 414 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 3: And then they got their page. 415 00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:12,840 Speaker 2: And then a few days later they said, let's go 416 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 2: to walkie talkies, and the walkie talkies blew up. And 417 00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 2: then at the head of hesbel has said, let's go 418 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,719 Speaker 2: to a basement bunker and meet in person. And then 419 00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 2: the basement bunker blew up. And if you want to 420 00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 2: understand where someone stands, look to their reaction to that. 421 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 2: Let me tell you, I think it is beautiful that 422 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: psychopathic terrorists are terrified now to pick up the phone 423 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,880 Speaker 2: and pick up the pager and go meet with another terrorist. 424 00:34:55,120 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 2: That is unequivocally good for Israel. In America, we are 425 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 2: saying forces across the globe arrayed against the people of Israel. 426 00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 2: And I will tell you in particular, if you want 427 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:19,680 Speaker 2: to prevent another October seventh, if you want to save 428 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 2: innocent lives in Israel and America, then you've got to 429 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 2: start by focusing on the nation of Iran. 430 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 3: Iran is the head of the stake. 431 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 2: I will say, in the last four years, the US 432 00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 2: government has funneled over one hundred billion dollars to Iran. 433 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,560 Speaker 2: We all know about the six billion that got the 434 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,719 Speaker 2: most attention. That was six billion in ransom for five Americans, 435 00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 2: and many others at the time said that's a terrible policy. 436 00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,160 Speaker 2: It will only encourage more Americans to be taken hostage. 437 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 2: It effectively puts a bounty of one point two billion 438 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,840 Speaker 2: per hostage. Tragically, when we said that, I didn't realize 439 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 2: it would be just a couple of months before we 440 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:21,120 Speaker 2: would see more Americans taken hostage. Some of you may 441 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,480 Speaker 2: also know about the ten billion in funds that were 442 00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:28,439 Speaker 2: frozen in Iraq from electricity receipts that the administration unfroze 443 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 2: to flow to Iran. Both of those, however, pale in 444 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:40,960 Speaker 2: comparison to the real source of revenue. Iran derives the 445 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: bulk of its revenue from oil and gas sales. When 446 00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:52,719 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office four years ago. 447 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 2: Iran was at the time selling roughly three hundred thousand 448 00:36:55,960 --> 00:37:00,880 Speaker 2: barrels of oil a day. That was a consequence of 449 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:05,960 Speaker 2: the previous administration vigorously enforcing oil sanctions. I had spent 450 00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:11,360 Speaker 2: hundreds of hours urging President Trump to vigorously enforce oil 451 00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 2: sanctions on Iran. He did so, and their oil sales 452 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 2: plummeted from a million barrels a day to three hundred 453 00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 2: thousand in January of twenty twenty one. The Iranian economy 454 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:29,759 Speaker 2: was in shambles, the Iranian regime was teetering and near collapse, 455 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 2: and the current administration came in and immediately stopped enforcing 456 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: those oil sanctions. What are the consequences of that? Iran's 457 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,839 Speaker 2: oil sales went from three hundred thousand barrels a day 458 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,880 Speaker 2: where they were in January of twenty twenty one. 459 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 3: Do you know what they are today? 460 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:56,840 Speaker 2: Roughly two million barrels of oil a day, primarily sold 461 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:02,280 Speaker 2: to communist China. What is the delta between three hundred 462 00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,439 Speaker 2: thousand barrels a day and two million barrels a day? 463 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 2: It is more than eighty billion dollars that came in 464 00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 2: like a lifeline to save the regime. I told you 465 00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 2: this is a battle between good and evil. The Ayatola 466 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:30,440 Speaker 2: Kamehni is unambiguously evil. He leads mobs in chants of 467 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 2: death to Israel and death to America. Now, if history 468 00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,399 Speaker 2: teaches anything it is that when somebody tells you they 469 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 2: want to kill you believe them. And you need to 470 00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 2: understand this is not just a threat to Israel. There 471 00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,440 Speaker 2: is a reason the Ayahtola refers to Israel as the 472 00:38:55,480 --> 00:39:01,800 Speaker 2: little Satan and America is the great Satan. The enemies 473 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,040 Speaker 2: of Israel are enemies of America. Those who hate Jews 474 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 2: hate Christians. And I have to say, if any sanity 475 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:22,479 Speaker 2: comes from the aftermath of October seventh, it is that 476 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,319 Speaker 2: we should agree to come together and cut off all 477 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:40,240 Speaker 2: of the funds for Iran. Two statistics that are important 478 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:45,000 Speaker 2: to know. Over ninety percent of the funding for Hamas 479 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:52,719 Speaker 2: comes from Iran. Over ninety percent of the funding for 480 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 2: Hesbola comes from Iran. If you are giving one hundred 481 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 2: million dollars to Iran, you are giving the money to 482 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:11,200 Speaker 2: the terrorists who are committing these atrocities. I got to say, 483 00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 2: regardless of your politics, it should not be a complicated 484 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,919 Speaker 2: proposition to say, do not give money to people who 485 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,759 Speaker 2: want to murder you. And yet somehow in Washington that's 486 00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:31,239 Speaker 2: deemed a controversial statement. Look, I want to thank all 487 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 2: of y'all for being here. I want to thank the 488 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 2: unity we see. It's easy if you look at the 489 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,319 Speaker 2: viciousness on a campus to think that's where America is. 490 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:47,000 Speaker 2: And one message, I'm glad we have reporters here. I'm 491 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,880 Speaker 2: glad we have TV cameras here. If there's one message 492 00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 2: that I want people to hear, it's that the people 493 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:59,040 Speaker 2: of Texas stand with the State of Israel, and the 494 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,760 Speaker 2: people of a Maria, Erica stand with the State of Israel. 495 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,560 Speaker 3: May justice prevail, May Israel prevail. 496 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,279 Speaker 2: May God continue to bless the people of Israel and 497 00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,839 Speaker 2: the people of America, and may God's mercy and blessings 498 00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:16,799 Speaker 2: be upon all of us. 499 00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 1: We're spending a lot of time talking about obviously protecting 500 00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:25,239 Speaker 1: women and especially young girls going to school, and I 501 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:29,280 Speaker 1: want you to know about BURNA because I have bought 502 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 1: this less lethal option that can help protect you. For 503 00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,319 Speaker 1: virtually every single woman that is in my family, whether 504 00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,560 Speaker 1: it's my mother in law or my mom, or my sister, 505 00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:43,360 Speaker 1: or my wife or my sister in law. They all 506 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,960 Speaker 1: now have a BURNA. Why Because burna is a less 507 00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 1: lethal option to protect and defend yourself and de escalate 508 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 1: a situation without the irreversible consequences of deadly force. The 509 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:59,879 Speaker 1: question is, look, sometimes you have to use deadly force. 510 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,239 Speaker 1: I understand that I had to use my firearm to 511 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 1: save my life one night, but I also understand that 512 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,840 Speaker 1: there are options and moments where less lethal can save 513 00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 1: someone else's life and maybe even yours. Don't compromise on 514 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:15,880 Speaker 1: your peace of mind. And that is where the BURNO, 515 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:19,439 Speaker 1: less lethal pistol launcher comes in. A burner can save, 516 00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 1: like I said, two lives. It is a great compliment 517 00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:26,120 Speaker 1: to owning a firearm. And if you have a student, 518 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 1: a college student, someone who's eighteen or older, maybe they're 519 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: not allowed to have a firearm on campus, maybe they're 520 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: not allowed to have a firearm where you go to work. 521 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 1: This is another great option. It is legal in all 522 00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:42,600 Speaker 1: fifty states, no permits or background checks are needed. I 523 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,480 Speaker 1: own these myself and they're great for family members. Berna 524 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: is the answer and is designed for easy use by 525 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,439 Speaker 1: all age groups eighteen and older. The Burner Launcher has 526 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: powerful deterrence that it shoots like tear gas in kinetic 527 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,280 Speaker 1: rounds with a sixty foot range, putting more range between 528 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: you and an attacker then you can ever imagine if 529 00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:06,520 Speaker 1: you're using mace or a taser. That's the other reason 530 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,000 Speaker 1: why I love the Burner Launcher. It is powerful. One 531 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,600 Speaker 1: shot can incapacitate an attacker for up to forty minutes. 532 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,000 Speaker 1: It's used by government agencies and law enforcement around the 533 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 1: country as well, and more than five hundred thousand units 534 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,600 Speaker 1: have been sold.
