Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz the Week in Review,
Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you, and we had some major stories
Speaker 2: that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
Speaker 2: First up, Iran attacks Israel and the worst part is
Speaker 2: our administration seems to be helping Iran be flowing with
Speaker 2: cash through oil sales that are sanctioned, but we are
Speaker 2: not actually doing anything with those sanctions.
Speaker 1: We're going to break that down for you.
Speaker 2: Also, Walls lies and said the border crossings are down
Speaker 2: during the debate. That is actually not true at all,
Speaker 2: So why did they not fact check him in the media.
Speaker 2: We'll expose that. And finally, Riley Games joins us to
Speaker 2: talk about how more men are getting into women's sports.
Speaker 2: Will this be the end of women's sports? And what
Speaker 2: do women and mothers and grandmothers need to do to stand
Speaker 2: up for their granddaughters and their daughters. It's the Weekend
Speaker 2: Review and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: That's how they fund Jimas, That's how they fund Hesbala,
Speaker 3: That's how they fund the assassins that are trying to
Speaker 3: murder Donald Trump is by selling oil. They were selling
Speaker 3: roughly a million barrels of oil a day. I made
Speaker 3: the case to the President and the oil waivers. There
Speaker 3: was a fight in the Trump administration. State again was
Speaker 3: on the wrong side. Mike Pompeo with Secretary of State.
Speaker 3: He argued, if we end the oil waivers, the price
Speaker 3: of oil well skyrocket. The price of gasoline at home
Speaker 3: will go up. The Department of Energy, who you would
Speaker 3: think would know something about energy, said that's nonsense. There's
Speaker 3: plenty a global supply of oil. You could end the
Speaker 3: oil waivers without materially impacting the price. Again, I weighed
Speaker 3: in more than a dozen times with Trump. I was
Speaker 3: there day after day after day making this case. Again,
Speaker 3: he agreed with me. He ended the oil waivers.
Speaker 4: Boom.
Speaker 3: We know who was right. We know who was wrong.
Speaker 3: Energy was right and State was wrong. The oil waivers ended,
Speaker 3: and Iran's oil sales dropped from a million barrels a
Speaker 3: day to three hundred thousand. Their revenue collapsed. And you
Speaker 3: know what, the global price of oil didn't move a blip.
Speaker 3: It had essentially zero impact, zero impact of the price
Speaker 3: of the pump back at home. But it crushed the regime.
Speaker 3: When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, the
Speaker 3: Iranian economy was in shambles, the regime was teetering, it
Speaker 3: was near falling. Which would be the best thing that
Speaker 3: could possibly happen for the people of Iran and the
Speaker 3: best thing that could possibly happen for Israel and for America.
Speaker 3: And what did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do. They
Speaker 3: came in, They rode like the cavalry to save the
Speaker 3: Ayatola and almost immediately they stopped in forcing oil sanctions.
Speaker 3: When they came in, Iran was selling three hundred thousand
Speaker 3: barrels of oil a day. How much you think they're
Speaker 3: selling today.
Speaker 4: I'm assuming it's got to be back to close where it.
Speaker 3: Was used to be at a million barrels a day.
Speaker 3: Today it's at two million barrels.
Speaker 4: So they've doubled it.
Speaker 3: They've doubled it from their high. Do you know how
Speaker 3: much the difference is between three hundred thousand barrels a
Speaker 3: day and two million barrels a day for the last
Speaker 3: four years eighty billion dollars more than eighty billion time, which.
Speaker 2: Goes back to them being able to now sponsor as
Speaker 2: much terrorism activity as they want to, which includes putting
Speaker 2: Israel and our other allies at.
Speaker 3: Risk, and I want you to understand this threat on
Speaker 3: Trump is real. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have given
Speaker 3: the Ayatola one hundred billion dollars. One hundred billion dollars
Speaker 3: buys you a lot of assassins and and and listen,
Speaker 3: We're not just talking about, you know, some jack a
Speaker 3: doodle with a suicide vest wandering up and trying to
Speaker 3: blow up the president. We're not just talking about some
Speaker 3: guy on a roof with a sniper rifle. Although we've
Speaker 3: now seen two guys with sniper rifles, one who succeeded
Speaker 3: in shooting Donald Trump, the other who was prepared to
Speaker 3: do so and trying to do so. But they're also
Speaker 3: greater dangers. I want you to watch a video, and
Speaker 3: this is one where I hope as many of you
Speaker 3: as possible are able to see the video version of
Speaker 3: this and go to YouTube, subscribe to the YouTube channel,
Speaker 3: but also watch this video version. This is a video
Speaker 3: that was put out by the Government of a by
Speaker 3: the Ayahtola. It was put out a couple of years ago,
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. I want you to watch it
Speaker 3: and for those of you who are listening, you'll be
Speaker 3: able to hear it and we'll describe afterwards exactly what
Speaker 3: you see. But this shows you what I Ran wants
Speaker 3: to do.
Speaker 1: Give a watch.
Speaker 3: For those who are listening. We're seeing right now an
Speaker 3: animated video of a drone attacking mar a Lago. They're
Speaker 3: hacking into the computers. This is the Iranians. They put
Speaker 3: together this video. They're disabling the security cameras. The drone
Speaker 3: is now going to the golf course. Donald Trump is
Speaker 3: playing on the golf course. There's a drone. There's a
Speaker 3: robot that's on the ground, and there's a drone in
Speaker 3: the air. The robot is pulling up to the golf
Speaker 3: course and it is now sighting Donald Trump, who is
Speaker 3: playing golf at his home at mar Lago, and the
Speaker 3: Iranians are targeting him directly to murder him. They're typing
Speaker 3: into computers, it says hacking. They're hacking into computers. People
Speaker 3: who are playing golf with Trump are getting a text
Speaker 3: Solomony's murderer and the one who gave the order will
Speaker 3: pay the price. Each of the people playing golf with
Speaker 3: Trump is now getting that text. The robot drone on
Speaker 3: the ground is lighting Trump up with a laser guide
Speaker 3: and the drone in the air is preparing to fire
Speaker 3: a missile. The Iranian is hitting fire on a dashboard
Speaker 3: and it ends with the words revenge is definite and
Speaker 3: then an animation of general solomony with the Ayatola Kamenes
Speaker 3: website on the bottom. This is what Iran wants to do.
Speaker 4: And this is a couple of years ago when this
Speaker 4: came out.
Speaker 2: It's now resurfaced and kind of turned into oh wait,
Speaker 2: this is something they've been twanty to do, trying to do,
Speaker 2: planning to do, and now you find out they've got
Speaker 2: the money and they're hiring people to try to take
Speaker 2: out Donald Trump.
Speaker 4: And nothing from this White House.
Speaker 3: And here's the point that has been undercovered, and by undercovered,
Speaker 3: I mean not covered at all in the media. This
Speaker 3: White House is complicit. The hell is this White House doing.
Speaker 3: You have a foreign nation trying to murder the former
Speaker 3: president of the United States, the Republican nominee for president,
Speaker 3: the leading candidate for president the polls, the person who
Speaker 3: may well be president president elect in less than forty days,
Speaker 3: and this Biden white House is doing nothing. They are
Speaker 3: not going after they are not making clear you know
Speaker 3: what they're doing today. They're letting Iran sell two million
Speaker 3: bare of oil today like tomorrow. You know how much
Speaker 3: they're going to sell two million barrels of oil, mostly
Speaker 3: to communist China. The Biden White House is not saying
Speaker 3: a word. Biden hasn't said a word. Kamala hasn't said
Speaker 3: a word. They haven't said to Iran. Understand, clearly, you
Speaker 3: will end this attempt. By the way, it's not just Trump.
Speaker 3: They're also trying to murder Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary
Speaker 3: of State of the United States. They're also trying to
Speaker 3: murder John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Trump.
Speaker 3: They're also trying to murder Brian hook, the former Assistant
Speaker 3: Secretary of State. The Department of State is today right
Speaker 3: now spending two million dollars a month protecting those officials
Speaker 3: from the Iranian hitman. And this administration continues to treat Iran.
Speaker 3: The president of Iran was in New York at the
Speaker 3: United Nations this past weekend, was treated like a celebrity
Speaker 3: with this administration kissing his behind while he's actively trying
Speaker 3: to murder the President of the United States. And look,
Speaker 3: here's the dirty little secret. There is a not insubstantial
Speaker 3: number of Democrats who are quietly rooting for a ran
Speaker 3: to be successful in murdering Trump.
Speaker 4: We've seen on social media.
Speaker 2: By the way, you're not exaggerating every time there's an
Speaker 2: attack on Trump's life. There are celebrities, there are Democrats.
Speaker 2: There are people that are not i would say extreme
Speaker 2: or fringe, people who are like rooting this on.
Speaker 3: The polling shows twenty to thirty percent of Democrats want
Speaker 3: Trump to be killed. Now, let me be clear. I
Speaker 3: don't want Biden killed, I don't want Kamala killed. I
Speaker 3: don't want any Democrats killed. I am anti murderer, I'm
Speaker 3: anti assassination. If any country tries to do that, we
Speaker 3: should bring the full might of the US military to
Speaker 3: bring any regime that threatens the president or vice president,
Speaker 3: a senior official in this administration, bring them to their knees.
Speaker 3: I want to beat Kamala at the polls. I want
Speaker 3: the voters to say your policies are terrible. But there
Speaker 3: is a not insubstantial percentage of Democrats that are rooting
Speaker 3: for please, Please, Please, having a assassin's bullet destroy that
Speaker 3: they have been so poisoned by hate, they've been so
Speaker 3: indoctrinated to hate Trump. He's not their political opposition. He
Speaker 3: is the enemy, and it is I cannot believe there
Speaker 3: is not outrage, there is not strength. I cannot believe
Speaker 3: the ayatola has not been told if you attempt to
Speaker 3: assassinate Donald Trump, you the ayah toola will die and
Speaker 3: every mulla around you will die. You want to know
Speaker 3: what strength looks like. Look at Israel. We're gonna put
Speaker 3: a pager in your pants and blow your pants off.
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, Israel knows how to stand up
Speaker 3: to people that are trying to murder them. The Biden
Speaker 3: White House, what are they doing to stop an attempted
Speaker 3: assassination of the former president and quite possibly the next
Speaker 3: president of the United States?
Speaker 4: Senter.
Speaker 2: I want to say one thing because I know this
Speaker 2: is gonna come up. And I laugh when I see
Speaker 2: the comments when we put up the episodes on social media,
Speaker 2: when we put them up on YouTube, and be like, well,
Speaker 2: you're misleading the audience by claiming that we don't have
Speaker 2: sanctions on Iran. We have sanctions on Iran. That's what
Speaker 2: this administration says. But they're worthless if they're not being enforced,
Speaker 2: right and That is the part I want you to
Speaker 2: just expand on quickly because you'll see the media and
Speaker 2: they'll say this, and the White House has said it
Speaker 2: countless times. We have sanctions on Iran, we have sanctions
Speaker 2: on their oil. They're not being enforced, so they're worthless.
Speaker 3: So a simple question anytime you hear a talking head
Speaker 3: saying that, why when Trump left the office was Iran
Speaker 3: selling three hundred thousand barrels a day of oil? And
Speaker 3: why today are they selling two million barrels of oil
Speaker 3: a day. So the way they're selling it is they
Speaker 3: have a ghost fleet of tankers, tankers that are not flagged,
Speaker 3: that are surreptitiously bringing the oil from Iran to China.
Speaker 3: And this administration is not going after the ghost fleet.
Speaker 3: It's not vigorously enforced the sanctions. And the reason it's
Speaker 3: not is this administration desperately wants a new Iran deal,
Speaker 3: and so they're bending over backwards to give Iran everything
Speaker 3: they want because they want an Iran deal and they're willing.
Speaker 3: Iran is funding Hamas, who carried out October seventh. Iran
Speaker 3: is funding Hesbela, who is attacking Israel every day. Iran
Speaker 3: is actively attacking US servicemen and women in the Middle
Speaker 3: East right now today, and Iran is actively trying to
Speaker 3: murder Donald Trump. And yet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
Speaker 3: they are sending Iran billions of dollars principally through not
Speaker 3: enforcing the oil sanctions, but they are providing the funding
Speaker 3: for the hit men who are targeting Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
Speaker 2: from earlier this week.
Speaker 1: Now onto story number two.
Speaker 3: You know, there was another moment on the same topic
Speaker 3: of the border where Tim Waltz said the most brazen
Speaker 3: lie of the entire debate, and when Waltz was back
Speaker 3: pedaling and trying to defend the disaster of Kamala's open borders,
Speaker 3: Tim Waltz said, quote, border crossings are down compared to
Speaker 3: when Donald Trump left office.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now, which is a lie. And you and I
Speaker 1: both are looking at the TV like that that's not true.
Speaker 3: That that is not slightly true, it's not kind of true.
Speaker 3: It's not in any way. And let me give you
Speaker 3: the stats. So in December twenty twenty, the total encounters
Speaker 3: with illegals was eighty nine thousand and seventy two. In
Speaker 3: August twenty twenty four, the total encounters was one hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty eighty nine hundred and eighty eight, so it
Speaker 3: was nearly twice as many. And and mind you, look,
Speaker 3: there's been a slight dip in the last couple of
Speaker 3: months because Biden and Harris are trying to pretend to
Speaker 3: do something about the border, and they're just doing it
Speaker 3: as electioneering. And to put it in, in all of
Speaker 3: fiscal year twenty twenty, do you know how many encounters
Speaker 3: with illegals there were under Trump? How many six hundred
Speaker 3: and forty six, eight hundred and twenty two.
Speaker 1: That's like a month in this administration.
Speaker 3: In fiscal year twenty four year to date. And by
Speaker 3: the way, we're not all the way through twenty four.
Speaker 3: Do you know how many there're been?
Speaker 1: How many?
Speaker 3: Two million, seven hundred and fifty six thousand, six hundred
Speaker 3: and forty six. Yeah, And by the way, these these
Speaker 3: brave fact checkers, did you notice the CBS cut off
Speaker 3: anybody's They say, wait a second, Governor, you just said
Speaker 3: that border encounters were lower now than they were under Trump.
Speaker 3: That is flat out false. They didn't say that because
Speaker 3: they're not in the business of fact checking democrats.
Speaker 2: Well, and they also didn't bring up something else that
Speaker 2: I actually thought.
Speaker 1: There's a missopportunity.
Speaker 2: I think JD had a great night, but I wish
Speaker 2: you would have seized on this. The acting ICE Director
Speaker 2: put out all of these numbers that we've talked about here, yes,
Speaker 2: about the number of rapists that were go that we
Speaker 2: knew were rapists, the number of murders that were let go,
Speaker 2: and the number of those that had been charged with
Speaker 2: Haines's crimes, and we still let go into this country.
Speaker 2: And that didn't see the light of day tonight. And
Speaker 2: it's again it goes back to the moderators, like it's
Speaker 2: shame on them for not actually talking about the Acting
Speaker 2: ICE Director saying this when they're going to talk about
Speaker 2: the border.
Speaker 1: How do you talk about the border without that? But
Speaker 1: I do.
Speaker 2: And again, it's debating's tough, and I want to be clear,
Speaker 2: it's tough, But there was a missed opportunity there. I'm
Speaker 2: shocked that JAD didn't really try to hammer that that
Speaker 2: point home.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, look, I think JD did a very good
Speaker 3: job tonight. I was surprised that the thirteen thousand convicted
Speaker 3: murderers did not come up. It's such a powerful number,
Speaker 3: and CBS hasn't covered it, the news hasn't covered it,
Speaker 3: and so this debate was an opportunity for That's actually
Speaker 3: something that I wish that like it had been slowly explained,
Speaker 3: that they'd taken a little bit of time. You need
Speaker 3: to understand that right now today, there are more than
Speaker 3: thirteen thousand illegal aliens who are free, who have not
Speaker 3: been apprehended, who are convicted murderers. There is nothing whatsoever
Speaker 3: stopping Kamala Harris from picking up all thirteen thousand of
Speaker 3: them tomorrow. Legally, she has every right to do so.
Speaker 3: They are here illegally, they can be detained, they can
Speaker 3: be deported. And yet and there are another two thousand
Speaker 3: roughly illegal aliens who have pending murder charges, so they're
Speaker 3: being charged with murder, and you know what, they're free too.
Speaker 3: There is nothing zero preventing Kamala Harris from picking up
Speaker 3: those two thousand, and I would have loved to see
Speaker 3: JD turn to Tim Wattson and say, Governor, why doesn't
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris pick up those fifteen thousand murderers right now,
Speaker 3: And what would you say to the mother of the
Speaker 3: children murdered by these illegal alien murderers that you continue
Speaker 3: to allow on the street. Yeah, he wouldn't have an
Speaker 3: answer to that.
Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't have an answer to that.
Speaker 2: And look again, like I said, debating is hard, and
Speaker 2: I think one of the things that he did really
Speaker 2: well was he talked about the fact that people are
Speaker 2: suffering in this country because there's so many illegal immigrants,
Speaker 2: and it backfired on CBS. They were talking about the
Speaker 2: economy and they were talking about the housing crisis. It
Speaker 2: was a little bit later in the debate. Many people,
Speaker 2: if you didn't watch the whole debate, this was one
Speaker 2: of those moments. I think they actually buried it on purpose.
Speaker 2: They need to check a box, ask a question about
Speaker 2: the about housing. But there was a moment there where JD.
Speaker 2: Van sees on like, well, yeah, of course home prices
Speaker 2: are going to be up. Let you let fifteen to
Speaker 2: twenty million people in this country. They got to have
Speaker 2: a roof over their head at night. They're competing with you,
Speaker 2: especially for low cost housing and apartments, which is skyrocket and.
Speaker 3: Price undoubtedly, and CBS really beclowned themselves on this because
Speaker 3: because one of the moderators chimed in and said, well,
Speaker 3: do you have any evidence of that? What proof do
Speaker 3: you have of that? And JD, to his credit, was
Speaker 3: prepared and said, well, actually, there's a Federal Reserve study
Speaker 3: that lays out the impact of illegal immigration driving up
Speaker 3: the cost of housing, and we'll put that out on
Speaker 3: social media right now so you can go read the study.
Speaker 3: But he also made the point of just supply and demand.
Speaker 3: What do you think an additional eleven and a half
Speaker 3: million people is going to be bending housing is going
Speaker 3: to do? Do you do these houses magically get created
Speaker 3: from the sky? Is there a wand that makes makes
Speaker 3: them come into existence? And the moderators just didn't like
Speaker 3: that point, and and so they they were, but they
Speaker 3: looked pretty silly when they asked if he had any
Speaker 3: evidence and the answer was well, yes, I.
Speaker 2: Love The other day on TV they were talking about
Speaker 2: the price of hotels in New York City of skyrocketed. Yeah,
Speaker 2: because I think it's like one out of x summer
Speaker 2: of every hotels is filled with illegal immigrants. They're taking
Speaker 2: away hotel room of course, so then they get more
Speaker 2: for the hotel rooms that are available you and I
Speaker 2: I don't even know if did you know I got
Speaker 2: stranded in New York City and there wasn't a single
Speaker 2: hotel room after we came back from the airport, Did
Speaker 2: I tell you this? So this is how bad it is.
Speaker 2: And this is when I learned, like really firsthand. I
Speaker 2: went the airport, was on the plane, was on the
Speaker 2: plane for like four hours. They finally cancel the fight.
Speaker 2: We pulled back up the gate and they say go
Speaker 2: back in the city. So immediately get on the phone.
Speaker 2: I call Fox. I'm there for TV. I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm going to need a hotel room. And I got
Speaker 2: to get back to the city. And then I get
Speaker 2: into a fight back in the morning to Houston, and
Speaker 2: she was like, no problem, I'll caite in a minute,
Speaker 2: go ahead and head down the cars and we'll get
Speaker 2: you back to the city. She said, I've never seen
Speaker 2: this before. There's not a single hotel room in the city.
Speaker 2: And I'm like not. And it wasn't like there was
Speaker 2: like the Super Bowl going on. This is a normal
Speaker 2: Tuesday in New York And I was like, are you kidding. Well,
Speaker 2: then I open up my app and I'm like I
Speaker 2: get on Expedia, there are no hotel rooms. They start
Speaker 2: looking in New Jersey, They're looking everywhere. Finally, the only
Speaker 2: option was to go back to the city and hope
Speaker 2: that someone doesn't come to a hotel room. I sat
Speaker 2: outside of the hotel I always stay at, know the manager,
Speaker 2: and I walked in. He's like Ben, He's like, this
Speaker 2: is because of all the illegal immigrants in the city.
Speaker 2: He goes, there's no hotel rooms to deal with a capacity.
Speaker 2: I set outside to one in the morning until finally
Speaker 2: someone canceled the hotel and then he checked me into
Speaker 2: that room at one o'clock. So I sat there from
Speaker 2: seven to one am. My fight was at six and mornings.
Speaker 2: I slept for like three hours. And he said, this
Speaker 2: is what they've done to our city, referring to the
Speaker 2: illegal immigrants and how many have come in. And when
Speaker 2: I say there was an it was there was not
Speaker 2: a hotel room in the city. That's what's happening now
Speaker 2: because of legal immigration. Senator, I want to talk and
Speaker 2: wrap on the issue of style. You know, you and
Speaker 2: I both thought this was going to be a intense debate.
Speaker 2: They don't like each other. They're going to throw down.
Speaker 2: I think We're also gotten kind of used to that
Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. That's what we've seen over the last
Speaker 2: several years. Joe Biden likes to do that as well.
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of the Republican debates. Primary debates
Speaker 2: didn't by the way Hillary and Trump was nasty. They
Speaker 2: were nasty. Oh yeah, I mean they threw down, and
Speaker 2: tonight I didn't. I did enjoy a little bit of civility, absolutely,
Speaker 2: and that was something we haven't seen. But I also
Speaker 2: think if it was a strategy by the by the
Speaker 2: Trump team, Hey you're gonna be the likable guy. You're
Speaker 2: gonna try to bring more people into the tent. I
Speaker 2: want you to walk away really thinking that you're the
Speaker 2: right choice.
Speaker 1: They nailed it. If that was the intent tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I think JD came across as as real
Speaker 3: and relatable. He did a good job of telling his
Speaker 3: own family story and his own background, I mean his
Speaker 3: you know, he wrote a best selling book Hill Billy LG.
Speaker 3: Was made into a movie, a very very good movie,
Speaker 3: a movie that's terrific to watch, and but yet a
Speaker 3: lot of people don't know that story. He's been a
Speaker 3: caricatured just like Trump has, and and I think tonight
Speaker 3: made real progress, making him seem like a real person,
Speaker 3: seem like a husband and a father, and and you know,
Speaker 3: someone who has journeyed from very humble beginnings to right
Speaker 3: now being the nominee to be vice president of the
Speaker 3: United States, that's one heck of a journey.
Speaker 2: As before, if you want to hear the rest of
Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
Speaker 2: dow the podcasts from earlier this week to hear the
Speaker 2: entire thing. I want to get back to the big
Speaker 2: story number three of the week. You may have missed, Riley,
Speaker 2: you mentioned all American in a moment ago that you
Speaker 2: know that the girls that were crying and the mothers
Speaker 2: and the dads were crying because they were one shot
Speaker 2: out right, one spot out of an incredible, prestigious award.
Speaker 2: When you talk about shaving time and then this advantage
Speaker 2: that he has over you, what was the difference between
Speaker 2: first place in tenth place when it talks about when
Speaker 2: you're talking about shaving seconds or tents of seconds off, like,
Speaker 2: I don't think people understand just how close it is
Speaker 2: at the elite level.
Speaker 5: Yeah, again, tens of seconds, that's how much you're even
Speaker 5: in the fifty freestyle, for example, it's first place to
Speaker 5: sixteenth place, which is what qualifies of being an All
Speaker 5: American top sixteen in the country, it's tenths of a second.
Speaker 3: Now we're seeing this not just in swimming. We're seeing
Speaker 3: this in sport after sport after sport. Right now, it's
Speaker 3: become an issue with San Jose State Volleyball, where there's
Speaker 3: a biological man who's playing on the women's volleyball team,
Speaker 3: and there have now been multiple women's teams that have
Speaker 3: refused to play. Give us your reaction to that, having
Speaker 3: competed in a different sport but at the same elite level.
Speaker 5: Well, first, this is the first time we have seen
Speaker 5: something like this, a movement in motion where teams are
Speaker 5: standing in unity together saying we won't allow this to happen.
Speaker 3: Enough is enough.
Speaker 5: You're not going to continue to discriminate against us on
Speaker 5: the basis of our sex, which is of course everything
Speaker 5: that TI nine was passed originally to prevent from happening.
Speaker 5: As you described San Jose State University, they allowed a
Speaker 5: man onto their team to take a scholarship. He's taken
Speaker 5: a roster spot, he has taken when they travel you
Speaker 5: know that travel spot that rightfully belongs to a girl,
Speaker 5: to a woman. But in talking with and working with
Speaker 5: these presidents of these other Mountain West Conference schools like,
Speaker 5: for example, Southern Utah, Boise State, followed by University of Wyoming,
Speaker 5: and most recently just last night, Utah State, these four
Speaker 5: schools have said, hey, we're not going to compete against
Speaker 5: this team. The universities, of course haven't specifically cited a reason,
Speaker 5: but I can tell you in talking to these teams,
Speaker 5: these girls are fearful of their safety. They understand, Look,
Speaker 5: we know we're going to take a lot, that's what
Speaker 5: it means when you forfeit a match. But this is
Speaker 5: a worthy cause. We don't want to be on the receiver.
Speaker 5: I've seen this boy give career ending concussions to girls,
Speaker 5: and so they cite safety concerns these women for not
Speaker 5: feeling comfortable to play. And I'll tell you there's more
Speaker 5: schools in the pipeline coming up who will soon also
Speaker 5: cancel their games against San Jose State University.
Speaker 3: Well, and the risks of physical safety, particularly in sports
Speaker 3: that have more and more direct contact, whether you're dealing
Speaker 3: with volleyball and someone spiking the ball into your face,
Speaker 3: or a sport like basketball, or we saw at the
Speaker 3: Olympics so called women's boxing with biolet logical males competing.
Speaker 3: Give us your thoughts on the risks of really serious
Speaker 3: injury that can happen when you have biological males engaged
Speaker 3: in direct physical violence in a sport against women.
Speaker 5: Well, I'm not even going to give you my thoughts.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you exactly what is happening. I'm going to
Speaker 5: give you factual information here. Let's look, for example, at
Speaker 5: Peyton McNabb, a high school senior she was at the
Speaker 5: time in North Carolina, a similar situation. Actually, it's the
Speaker 5: sport of ball, a volleyball. A man on the opposing team,
Speaker 5: he jumps up, he spikes, the ball, hits her in
Speaker 5: the face. She's knocked unconscious where she lays for many
Speaker 5: minutes before you know, finally coming back around. Still to
Speaker 5: this day, that was two years ago. That was September
Speaker 5: of twenty twenty two, so over two years ago. Still
Speaker 5: to this day, she's partially paralyzed on her right side.
Speaker 5: Her vision is impaired, her memory is impaired. She has
Speaker 5: to have special accommodations for testing at school because she
Speaker 5: can't retain information like she once could. She was supposed
Speaker 5: to play softball in college, but because of this brain injury,
Speaker 5: she will not go on to do that. She just
Speaker 5: had part of her pituitary gland removed out of her
Speaker 5: brain because of how traumatic the head injury was. Let's
Speaker 5: look for or look at for example, what we saw
Speaker 5: at ed a high school in Massachusetts where a male
Speaker 5: was allowed to play field hockey with the girls. Again,
Speaker 5: the girls and this boy. He slaps a shot at
Speaker 5: the women's one of the women on the field. It
Speaker 5: hits her in the face, in the mouth, and it
Speaker 5: knocks all her teeth out. Even she had to undergo reconstruction,
Speaker 5: facial reconstruction surgery to reconstruct her jaw. This male player,
Speaker 5: he's given career and in concussions to girls. Like I said,
Speaker 5: most recently, we saw him hit a woman in the
Speaker 5: face from University of Delaware to where she doesn't even
Speaker 5: have time to defend herself. Okay, like there was no
Speaker 5: reaction time for her that would have been able to
Speaker 5: prevent this hit from hitting her in the head. The
Speaker 5: list goes on. We saw recently even what the Olympics
Speaker 5: has done. The IOC allowed two men, two plural males,
Speaker 5: to compete in women's boxing, which naturally these both of
Speaker 5: these men went on to win gold medals in their
Speaker 5: respective weight divisions, and one of the female boxers who
Speaker 5: fought against this boxer, one of the male boxers, said
Speaker 5: she had never been punched that forcefully, that hard in
Speaker 5: her entire life. She said, this was nothing a punch
Speaker 5: that a woman could throw.
Speaker 3: How is this remotely fair? In what universe? Is this
Speaker 3: even arguably fair?
Speaker 5: Well, it's absolutely not. And I'll tell you the people
Speaker 5: who are lobbying for this, who are voting in favor
Speaker 5: of this, who are advocating for this, they don't even
Speaker 5: believe it. Even recently, Senator Cruz, when I testified actually
Speaker 5: before your committee, I had some of your colleagues from
Speaker 5: across the aisle come up to me before the hearing
Speaker 5: and say, hey, look, you know, I played football at Stanford.
Speaker 5: I totally get where you're coming from. I totally agree.
Speaker 5: And then gets on the other side of the table
Speaker 5: and what.
Speaker 3: Does he do.
Speaker 5: He starts grilling me and sympathizes with those on the
Speaker 5: other side, not the women. So they don't believe this.
Speaker 5: They're again just cowards, and they know. That's why one.
Speaker 5: You have been incredible on many issues outside of the
Speaker 5: gender ideology movement, but your opponent here in your state.
Speaker 5: I was so enthused to see this ad come out recently.
Speaker 5: It was so powerful, it was so effective. If the
Speaker 5: people listening haven't seen it, go watch it. I've reposted
Speaker 5: on my page. It's this perfect depiction, and that the
Speaker 5: very even if you just watched the last ten seconds,
Speaker 5: you see a man in a jersey with al right
Speaker 5: on the back of it, and he tramples a young girl,
Speaker 5: and that is the message, perfectly depicted. That is the
Speaker 5: message that we are receiving and that people are voting for.
Speaker 5: That's what you're getting if you vote for someone who
Speaker 5: advances these progressive and harmful policies.
Speaker 3: Let me ask you. You've gone to a number of
Speaker 3: campuses and you've spoken out, and I admire your courage
Speaker 3: because you've had some really unpleasant receptions and threats of
Speaker 3: violence against you. Describe a little bit what you've experienced
Speaker 3: as a consequence of speaking out against this.
Speaker 5: Well, I was just actually explaining to Ben I'm actually
Speaker 5: a University of Texas and Austin's campus today, and I'll
Speaker 5: tell you there was some minor heckling, but for the
Speaker 5: most part, was very well received because these students are
Speaker 5: desperate to hear the truth, to be honest with you,
Speaker 5: they've been denied it from their universities, from these you know,
Speaker 5: institutional academic institutions. They've been denied the truth through censorship
Speaker 5: and other things. And so I had a great reception tonight.
Speaker 5: But you're right, I have been in scenarios where I
Speaker 5: have not been overly well received. One, for example, is
Speaker 5: San Francisco State University where I mean I was accosted,
Speaker 5: I was ambush, I was attacked by these these protesters,
Speaker 5: hundreds of them. They rush into the room, they turn
Speaker 5: off the lights. They I mean, I'm being punched in
Speaker 5: the face by these men wearing dresses, which again, they
Speaker 5: ultimately held me for ransom for about five hours, demanding
Speaker 5: that if I wanted to make it home to see
Speaker 5: my family safely again, I had to pay them money.
Speaker 5: All the while the police are being held for ransom
Speaker 5: with me. Because remember this is San Francisco, and the
Speaker 5: police don't know I shouldn't say they don't know how
Speaker 5: to do their job. They just don't do their job
Speaker 5: in this city.
Speaker 3: Well prevented from doing it by the political leadership who
Speaker 3: doesn't let them protect protect the rights of innocence because ideology,
Speaker 3: Trump's actually defending people's rights and people's safety. And we
Speaker 3: see whether it's in San Francisco or Minneapolis, or New
Speaker 3: York or Los Angeles, we see that left wing democrats
Speaker 3: prevent law enforcement from protecting innocence in many cases from violence.
Speaker 3: That the ideology on the left is if if if
Speaker 3: the violence is carried out by someone whose politics they
Speaker 3: align with, then they're happy to look the other way
Speaker 3: and to effectively handcuff police officers from protecting protecting the
Speaker 3: innocent from violence.
Speaker 5: And that's exactly what these officers said. You know, I
Speaker 5: asked them, can't you do something, to which they said, no,
Speaker 5: we can't. We're not allowed to do anything because we're
Speaker 5: not allowed to be seen as anything other than an
Speaker 5: ally to that community or else will lose their jobs. Again,
Speaker 5: the same community who's on the other side of the
Speaker 5: door where we were barricaded, who called these officers rac
Speaker 5: his pigs for protecting a white girl like me. That's
Speaker 5: who they again were almost forcibly had to side with
Speaker 5: in this scenario.
Speaker 3: Well, Riley, thank you for speaking out. Thank you for
Speaker 3: speaking out not just for yourself, but but you're speaking
Speaker 3: out for women, You're speaking out for young girls, You're
Speaker 3: speaking out for the next generation of app athletes. You know,
Speaker 3: Title nine transformed athletics and created opportunity for millions of
Speaker 3: schoolgirls to compete and develop discipline and teamwork and get
Speaker 3: all of the benefits of athletic competition. And I got
Speaker 3: to say, the current insanity of pretending there is no
Speaker 3: such thing as girls and boys, there is no such
Speaker 3: thing as women and men. It really threatens the ability
Speaker 3: of both women and girls to compete in athletics. And
Speaker 3: I think your courage there are a lot of people
Speaker 3: who are grateful to you, even if they don't say so.
Speaker 3: I'm telling you there are millions of Texans and millions
Speaker 3: of people across across the country who are grateful to you.
Speaker 1: Riley.
Speaker 2: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with center,
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal
