1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: And all that. That's called freedom of speech, and that's 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: what this hearing title is protecting speech. So all I 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,399 Speaker 1: can see is, look, we should all join hands and 4 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: denouncing and whatever words you want to use about violent 5 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: extremism of all stripes, and I think we can all 6 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 1: agree on that. So's to constantly accuse Democrats of not 7 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: caring about that is really I can only say that 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 1: you aren't listening. So I hope this is the end 9 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,839 Speaker 1: of this hearing, mister chairman, and that we don't have 10 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: to listen to any more of your rhetorical speeches. Thank 11 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: you very much. I'm leaving well. I appreciate the as 12 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: always kind and uplifting words of Senator Herono, and I 13 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 1: would also note that throughout her remark she still did 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,520 Speaker 1: not say a negative word about Antifa, nor has any 15 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: Democrat here. They instead engage in a political game where 16 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: they depend. You're welcome to say something negative about Antifa 17 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: right now. I think that I've covered the subject quite okay. 18 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 1: She declined to speak, so that is the position of 19 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. I would note also that of the 20 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: seven Democratic senators who spoke, not a one of them 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:23,640 Speaker 1: apologized for or denounced multiple Democrats calling law enforcement officers Nazis, stormtroopers, 22 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 1: and Gestapo. To be fair, I don't have not heard 23 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: the word Nazi, but stormtrooper was Nancy Pelosi and Gastapo 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: was another Democratic leader. Welcome back to Verdict with Ted Cruz. 25 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: I'm Michael Knowles. I'm sitting here, of course with the senator. Senator, 26 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: you have not yet chased me out of this room, 27 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: but I notice you seem to have chased your Democratic 28 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: colleague out of the Senate yesterday. Well, Michael, I don't 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: like what you're saying, so I'm going to need to 30 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: get up and run away and leave. Now. You're very 31 00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: frightening and you're you're causing me to hyperventily. Yeah, well, 32 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: because I'm posing these very difficult questions to you, such 33 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 1: as are you willing to condemn Antifa? So so it 34 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: was really crazy. So I chaired a hearing on Antifa violence. 35 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 1: And it's I, as you know, chair the Constitution Subcommittee, 36 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a Senate Judiciary committee, and so the the hearing was 37 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: focused on the right and the First Amendment peaceably to assemble. 38 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,519 Speaker 1: And by the way, if you remember back, do you 39 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: remember Chris Cuomo on CNN saying saying, where is it 40 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 1: written that that that protesting and gathering has to be peaceable? 41 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: And it's kind of like, well, okay, there's this thing 42 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: called the First Amendment. It's in the Constitution, the right 43 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: of the people peaceably to assemble. It's right there, first Amber, 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 1: part of the Bill of Rights attached the Well you 45 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: get understand, CNN, they don't have copies of the Constitution, 46 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: so so you can understand. You wouldn't expect the CUOMO 47 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: to be familiar with I don't know that it's even 48 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: allowed in the building. Frankly, I think that's probably right. Well, 49 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: the hearing was on free speech and the right peaceably 50 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: to assemble, and how radical anarchists and Marxists are taking 51 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: over these protests and engaging in rioting and violence, and 52 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: so we had testimony and in the entire course of it, 53 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: so we had testimony originally from the Department of Justice 54 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: and Department Homeland Security. Ken Kucinelli, the acting Deputy Secretary, 55 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: test if I did a five fabulous job. But seven 56 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: different Democratic senators participated in the hearing. Not a single 57 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 1: one of them was willing to say even a single 58 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: word critical about Antifa. They wouldn't and it's you know, 59 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 1: I gotta say, look, I'll give the DEM's credit. They 60 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: have a message discipline. Like when a talking point goes out, 61 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 1: I don't know who it is. Is that what it is? Though? 62 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: I mean they basically they get the talking points that 63 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: they stick to it. They repeat the same words over 64 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: and over again. So for example, all of them called 65 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: the DHS law enforcement officers secret police. That was clearly 66 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: the talking point. So so Mazy Heronos, the ranking Democrat 67 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: on the committee, she plays this this video I think 68 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: from the New York Times where it refers to them 69 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: as unidentified officers, and literally the video playing they have 70 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 1: in giant right yellow all caps letters the words police 71 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 1: like that. That's not they are identified. Let's not a 72 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: question about that. But it's but it doesn't stop them. 73 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: So they're talking points, and so they're talking points on Antifa, 74 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: on the terrorists. Is they just scream right wing violence, 75 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: white supremacist, white supremacists, and the difference by the way, um, look, 76 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: I'm white supremacists, Nazis KKK. Those guys are racist idiots. 77 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Lock them all up, they commit violence, Lock them up 78 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: and throw them in jai. This is the point. This 79 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: was what was so shocking to me when I was 80 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: watching this clip of you talking to Senator Horono. When 81 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: some fringe lunatic guy who maybe he associates with the right, 82 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: and he comes out and says something bigoted, all the 83 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,480 Speaker 1: right disavows, condemns, takes two seconds, nobody worries about it. 84 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 1: But none of your Democratic colleagues on zero, not one 85 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: could condemn Antifa, or the Marxists or the other end. 86 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 1: I mean, it seems so simple to me. Why couldn't 87 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: they do it? So not only that, but but but 88 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: also we've seen their rhetorics. So Nancy Pelosi called federal 89 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: police officers stormtroopers, aunt Jim Kleiber and one of the 90 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: ranking leading Democrats of the House called them gestapo like 91 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 1: calling cops Nazis yea, And not a single Democrat, I 92 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 1: mean repeatedly that was called out. Not one of the 93 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: Democratic senators would walk away from it. And so at 94 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: the end of the hearing, Mazie got up and stormed out, 95 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: and she's like, well, no, no, I've condemned violence. I'm like, well, no, 96 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: not from Antifa, not from the left. You insist the 97 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: only violence that occurs is on the right. Facts be damned. 98 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 1: Do you know what Ken Kucinelli told us at the hearing. 99 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:02,600 Speaker 1: What he said, there have been in the last six 100 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: months two hundred and seventy seven officer injuries in Portland. 101 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: Wow seven. So Ken Cucinelli Deputy Secretary of Department of 102 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 1: Homeland Security, and he testified it, and he testified fact 103 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 1: he had. So they're throwing rocks at the officers, they're 104 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: throwing frozen water bottles. In fact, Ken had a frozen 105 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 1: water bottle with him just to illustrate. They hit an 106 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: officer in the head with a sledgehammer. They're bringing knives, 107 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: they're bringing guns, They're throwing gasoline and lighting gasoline on fire. 108 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:40,720 Speaker 1: They're firing mortars with with commercial fireworks. They have those lasers. Well, 109 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: and you and I, so we did we did an 110 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 1: interview with the Secretary of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, and 111 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,479 Speaker 1: we did it at DHS, which was pretty cool. But 112 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: while we're doing the interview, you and I are sitting 113 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: there into the room walks Ken Cucinelli. You know, in 114 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: the moment I couldn't quite tell. Obviously the lighting was 115 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: a little dark. So, like I said, who is this 116 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: guy who's kind of walking in if i'd known. If 117 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: i'd know it was him, I would have said he 118 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: should come right on the show. And if i'd have 119 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 1: seen him, he came in behind me, so I didn't 120 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: see him. If I had seen him, I said, Cooch, 121 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: come on over, pull up a chair because he was 122 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: coming to testify that afternoon, and he had a prop 123 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: he had, so the commercial laser that they're using. Yeah, 124 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: I have to admit when I read about the sort 125 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: of lasers to the eyes that that struck me as 126 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 1: a little bogus because we've always had little laser pointers, right, 127 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: you chase your cat around with it? Yeah, Like I mean, 128 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: isn't that? Isn't that All of Twitter is cat videos, like, like, 129 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: I think that's the entirety of the Internet. Yeah, but 130 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 1: what was interesting is these commercial ones. So so Cooch 131 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: had one of those. He said, here, hold your hand out, 132 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: so I did, and he points it and in like 133 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 1: one second. It takes about a second and then you go, 134 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 1: oh crap, and you yank. I mean it burned. Well, 135 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: you know, I don't. I don't think that you were 136 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: necessarily foolish when he says put your in it, you 137 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: did it, But then I saw it burned. You and 138 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,840 Speaker 1: then you tell me, hey, Michael, put your hand out, 139 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: and I like a fool, I put my hand out 140 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 1: and I get it burned by Look, this is basic 141 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 1: human instinct. You know. You have like spoiled milk and 142 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 1: you go, oh, stays terrible like, but it's serious. I mean, 143 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: you can you can light a piece of paper on 144 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: fire with those lasers. And this is this is the 145 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: kind of thing that's being shined in the CoP's eyes. 146 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: And and Cucinelli testified over thirty officers have had eye 147 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: damage where they shine it in their eyes and it's 148 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: a risk of permanent blindness. And in fact, what they're 149 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: doing is they have these shields and they get up 150 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: right close at them to shine the laser right in 151 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: their eye, um, and try to blind them. Yeah, and 152 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: you know one thing, you did very well at the hearing. 153 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: And for some reason, I notice these clips aren't going around. 154 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't know why the press isn't covering it. You 155 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: went through with great specificity who these people are, the 156 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: organized anarchists, the organized Marxists who are behind these riots 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,479 Speaker 1: all over the country. You know, I think the Democrats 158 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 1: they've outright denied that Antifa even exists. It's Jerry Nadler 159 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 1: the other day pretended it's not real. You went through 160 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: those specifically, these are real Marxists, these are real anarchists. Well, 161 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 1: and you take two different groups that are worth worth 162 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 1: focusing on one Antifa, and you've got we heard a 163 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: lot of testimony. Antifa is profoundly violent. They engage in terrorism, 164 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: they encourage terrorism, they train people to engage in this violence. 165 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,719 Speaker 1: They're also profoundly anti free speech. They and they use 166 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: violence as a way to silent speech they disagree with you, 167 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: and these are concerted. You know, Andy No the journalist, 168 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 1: he testified at the hearing about being violently beaten up 169 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: by the way they call him a white supremacist, as 170 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: he described he's he's the son of a Vietnamese immigrant. 171 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: He's Vietnamese and gay is not. You're like, he is 172 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: the most Vietnamese white supremacist I've ever met, There's no question. 173 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: But you know what they call Ben Shapiro and Nazi, 174 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: So so never let facts get in the way right 175 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: of their attacking rhetoric. Yeah, but you know, so you 176 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,199 Speaker 1: had the anarchists of Antifa, and you had Marxists as well, 177 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 1: as you explained yesterday, well, and I talked at some 178 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 1: length about black lives matter. Now, now it's important to 179 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: understand the difference. The phrase black lives matter. Oh yeah, 180 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: of course is indisputably true this period the end. And 181 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: let me actually take a digression for a minute. I 182 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: think most Republicans are morons when it comes to talking 183 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: about black lives matter. Uh, because when you have someone 184 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: say does black lives matter? You get all these Republicans No, 185 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 1: all lives matter? Yeah, why can't you just say yes? Right? 186 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 1: If you ask me, yes, it's black lives matter. Well, 187 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,079 Speaker 1: it's like Mazie Herono's answer, right, Well, you condemn Antifa, 188 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: I condemn extremism, Say right, but what about specifically Antifa's 189 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: you know, for a simple question like absolutely, black lives 190 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: are precious and they matter immensely, and the reason is 191 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: every life is created by God. But you don't you 192 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 1: see Republicans like terrified to say that, Yeah, because we're 193 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 1: in such a weird politicized world. Well, and also because 194 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 1: there's this organization which is very different. Well, and and 195 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: that's so the statement black lives matter is a truism. 196 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: Overwhelming the majority of Americans agree with it. It It should 197 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,160 Speaker 1: be everyone I mean, yeah, basically everyone, I think. But 198 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: there's something very separate from the organization that is called 199 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter and this um. There's an article I 200 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 1: entered into the record of the hearing from the Washington 201 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: Examiner that gives some of the history of the organization. 202 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: So it was founded by three radicals who describe themselves 203 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: in their own words as trained Marxists. So they are 204 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: this is not me calling the Marxist. They tell you 205 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 1: they're Marxists. They tell you they've studied Marx and Lenin 206 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 1: and Mao. They I mean, there's a video of Patris Klus, 207 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 1: Who's who's one of the co founders. She says, Alicia 208 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: and I are Alicia Garris, another co founder, are trained Marxists. 209 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 1: And the third co founder, oh, Paul Timetti, is seen 210 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: smiling and photographs with the communist dictator of Venezuela. They're 211 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 1: they're not hiding this sort of thing. So not only that, 212 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: one of the founders of the organization Black Lives Matter 213 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: describes as her mentor Angela Davis. Now Angela Davis, I 214 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: don't have to call her communist. She tells you she 215 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 1: was a communist. She was not once, but twice the 216 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: vice presidential nominee of the Communist Party of the United States. 217 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: So she's an avowed communist Marxist and by the way, 218 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: you know is rapidly anti Semitic, rapidly anti history. Someone 219 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 1: else who Susan Rosenberg? Now, who is Susan Rosenberg? Susan 220 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 1: Rosenberg is the vice chair of the board of directors 221 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: of Thousand Currents. Now, what is thousand Currents? Thousand Currents 222 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: is what is funding the organization Black Lives Matter? Now? 223 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,800 Speaker 1: Who is Susan Rosenberg? Also, she was part of the 224 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: revolutionary military group known as the May nineteenth communist organization 225 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: affiliated with the Weather Underground. She was convicted of weapons 226 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: and explosive charges and sentenced to fifty eight years in prison. 227 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 1: So she's a convicted terrorist. By the way, she was 228 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,959 Speaker 1: pardoned by Bill Clinton on the last day of his presidency. 229 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: It was one of those midnight and a million other 230 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: people were parking at the end of the administration. So 231 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 1: she was at Rosenberg in the nineteen sixties and seventies 232 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: was on the FBI's most wanted list. She was caught 233 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty four unloading hundreds of pounds of dynamite 234 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 1: and weapons including a submachine gun. So we're not talking 235 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: like a sort of mild little rebel. We're not just 236 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 1: a frozen water bottle. It is not so Garza, one 237 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: of the Black Lives Matter founders, talks about how convicted 238 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 1: cop killer Assanta Shakur is one of her main inspirations. 239 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: Now Skur is right now today on the FBI's most 240 00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: wanted list. There's a million dollar reward for Shakur's information 241 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: leading to her capture. She's believed to be hiding in Cuba, 242 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: and she was a member of the Black Liberation Army, 243 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: another terrorist organization. She's wanted for escaping from prison, and 244 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 1: she was in prison serving a life sentence for murdering 245 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: a police officer. And the police officer and individual named 246 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: Werner Forster, was shot execution style, point black. This wasn't 247 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: an accidental this was and and by the way, it's 248 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: not like these folks are just kind of okay, we're 249 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: all like vaguely know each other. So Colors, one of 250 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: the three founders, wrote a memoir entitled When They Call 251 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: You a Terrorist, a Black Lives Matter Memoir. So it's 252 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 1: like what we're all about. The foreword is written by 253 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: Angela Davis and the epigraph is written by Shakur the 254 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: cop killer. Wow. So there they don't tell you this 255 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: in the mainstream media. In fact, I had never heard that, 256 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: and I've actually done some research into the BLM organization. 257 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 1: So Angela Davis, you wan't to talk about the anti 258 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: semitism of Angela Davis for a minute. She was asked, 259 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: so she was big apologist for the Soviet Union. Yeah, 260 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: I look communist, That's what they did. So she was 261 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 1: traveling to Moscow and she was asked if she would 262 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: speak up for the Jewish prisoners of conscience in the 263 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: gulags in the Soviet Union, and her answer was, and 264 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 1: this is a quote, that they are all Zionist, fascists 265 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 1: and opponents of socialism, and so therefore she would be 266 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: urged that she would urge that they'd be kept in prison. 267 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 1: Not only would she not speak up with them, she'd 268 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: be like, lock them up. By the way, Angela Davis 269 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 1: just recently endorsed Joe Biden for president. That's right, and 270 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: she said he would be easy to manipulate it. Black 271 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: Lives Matter Itself refers to Israel as an apartheid state, 272 00:15:54,320 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: committing genocide. That's that's their terms. But what is Black 273 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: Lives Matters stand for? If you go look at their 274 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: website yea, their number one priority is abolishing the police nationwide. Yeah, 275 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: which is, by the way, according to Gallup polling, opposed 276 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: by eighty one of Black Americans. It was either Gallup 277 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: or was a YouGov pole But it just came out. 278 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: And if Black Lives Matter succeeded in their stated objective 279 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: of abolishing police, the result would be many, many more 280 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: Black lives are lost, of course, because you would have 281 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: many more murders, many more rapes, many more assaults, which 282 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: sadly we're seeing in big cities right now as police 283 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,560 Speaker 1: are are are being held back, but but without law enforcement, 284 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: those living in the most high crime neighborhoods get they're 285 00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: victims and many of the far too many of the 286 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: victims of crime or African American and Black Lives Matter. 287 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: It is essentially abandoning him to that. Not only that 288 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter, the organization calls for abolishing the nuclear 289 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: family like moms and dads. Don't just say that again, 290 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: it's very like they explicit and this go read their 291 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: own website. Don't take my word for it. That's what 292 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: they're advocating for now, let me tell you. And by 293 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: the way, they also call for a white boycott. They 294 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: say boycott white corporations, that nobody should buy anything from 295 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 1: white corporations. Now, one of the things I talked about 296 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: the hearing yesterday, we're seeing all these companies, particularly tech 297 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: companies they're wanting to virtue signal, who are giving millions 298 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: and millions of dollars right to this organization Black Lives Matter. 299 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: Those are among those tech companies that are doing it 300 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: are Microsoft, Amazon. I went and listed a whole bunch, 301 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 1: but but pause for a second and think. Look, Microsoft, 302 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 1: it's largest shareholders a guy named Bill Gates. Yeah. Last 303 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: time I checked, Bill Gates, a white guy. Yeah. So 304 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: Microsoft is literally donating money to an organization calling for 305 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 1: people to boycott Microsoft, like like saying do not purchase 306 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: any products from anything Bill Gate. Amazon. Amazon's given him money. Yeah, 307 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos is a white guy. Amazon is funding a 308 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: group saying don't buy anything from Amazon. And it's look, 309 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: you want to support social justice, great, wonderful, Go support 310 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: school choice, Go give scholarships for inner city kids to 311 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: go to excellent schools. There are all sorts of things 312 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: you can do. But the problem is because people are 313 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: terrified of contradicting the indisputably true statement that black lives matter. Yeah, 314 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: that they'll support this awful organization, and they are funding 315 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 1: explicit Marxists who want to destroy capitalism, destroy for enterprise, 316 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: destroy the family. Speaking of our friends who were stuck 317 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: at home, a number of them are writing in questions 318 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: for the mail bag from Balaam's donkey. This is a 319 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:54,959 Speaker 1: Twitter account. I don't think it's this. I don't think 320 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: it's this Christian name. What can I do personally to 321 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: stop this madness? I'm not I'm not important. I'm not 322 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: even a good debater, but I know what I believe. 323 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Give me specifics. Speak, speak to your friends, speak to 324 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: your family, and you know what you are famous, bloms 325 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 1: Docky Donkey, because you've got with social media, every one 326 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: of us is publisher. Now I know you also on 327 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,239 Speaker 1: a big podcast right now, like every one of us 328 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: can speak out. And I actually tell like, I don't 329 00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,320 Speaker 1: know how how old bloms Docky is, but I talked 330 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: to a lot of you know, high school kids, college kids, 331 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: and when it comes to defending freedom, why it is 332 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: freedom matter? I say, Look, you can do it much better. 333 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm forty nine years old. How many fifteen year olds 334 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: are gonna listen to me? Yeah, I'd much rather have 335 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: a fifteen year old say why does it matter to 336 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: be free? Use your voice to explain why freedom matters, 337 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 1: why free speech matters. Look, the left are intolerant, totalitarian, 338 00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 1: and oppressive. So speaking out using humor, uh, telling stories? Um? 339 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: And on that point, knowing what you say. I mean 340 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: Balama's donkey says he knows what he believes, and I 341 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: believe him. But I think some people, you know, they 342 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 1: want to get out there and argue their point of view. 343 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 1: The other the other side of this is study the facts, 344 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: I mean, read up, no, know what your point of 345 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 1: view is, so that you can articulate why, why you 346 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: support your country, why you like your freedoms while you 347 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: like your rights and and and help educate others. And look, 348 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: left and right tend to communicate differently. Um. Too many 349 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: people on the right communicate like accountants. Yes, yes, just 350 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: throws crazy numbers in a green eye shade. Yeah. And 351 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: and the left they go for the heart. Yeah. I 352 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: mean their argument is he wants to eat your children. Yeah, 353 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: I mean that's what they say, right, we got to 354 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: do both. It's why stories are you know, when you 355 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: and I did the pod with John Voyd, Yeah, and 356 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:59,000 Speaker 1: you're we're talking to him about like storytelling is a 357 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: natural skill. And actually, actually this may have been afterwards 358 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: where we were we were enjoying a cigar together, and 359 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: I think I think this was after the pod and 360 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: we were we were talking with John and and I said, look, 361 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: storytelling is a natural human expression of all of us, 362 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: and and and it's how we all communicate. And John 363 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: discres it. No no, no, no, no no or no 364 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: lad I think, no, no, lad, no, you do a 365 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: better avoid impression than I do. But but his to 366 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: be sure, there are better storytellers, and we're storytellers, right, 367 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: but it is how our hearts are stitched together. Yes, yeah, 368 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: so tell stories. We need more than just eggheads. I 369 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 1: mean we want, you know, we want the accounting to 370 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 1: work out, but you have to grab people with a narrative. 371 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: Chase wants to know, speaking of sometimes we're lemmings, sometimes 372 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,639 Speaker 1: we fight back. He has a question about owning the libs, 373 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: you know, a politics of opposition, Yeah, banding together, He says, 374 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,199 Speaker 1: is owning the Libs a strong enough policy platform to 375 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: win the House, Senate, the White House? Of course? Not so, 376 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: of course not. Look this election, we win, Trump gets 377 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 1: re elected. Republicans win. If this is a battle of 378 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: ideas because the left is gone insane, Yeah, their ideas 379 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: are terrible. If this is a battle between socialism and 380 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:23,520 Speaker 1: free enterprise, we win. If this is a battle between 381 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: abolishing the police and protecting people's safety, we win. Yeah. 382 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: Like their positions are so extreme. But I suppose this 383 00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: raises the question because when I hear owning the Libs, 384 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: there is something to this right, a politics of opposition, 385 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: where because their ideas are so extreme, because they're you know, 386 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: they're like pulling down statues and burning down the country. 387 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: I wonder if if what Chase is asking is is 388 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 1: it enough to just point to their craziness. So my 389 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: point on this, though, is that we have to fight 390 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,399 Speaker 1: on the field of ideas. I think that Democrats want 391 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: to make this election entirely a personality election, and they 392 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: wanted a referendum. Undo you like Donald Trump? Yes or no? 393 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: There's a reason Joe Biden is hiding his basement, right, 394 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: And it's actually I don't think that it's seen that 395 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: he's seen Island has dementia. I think they've made the decision. 396 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:23,720 Speaker 1: They think they're winning on a personality popularity contest on 397 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and so they just figure, all right, why 398 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 1: you know, if you're winning, don't mess with it. Yeah 399 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: and so and so. From their perspective, they would characterize 400 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: it as sort of owning Trump. Let's let's just make it, yeah, 401 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: all about him. Look, you and I both have fun 402 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: on Twitter, and you know I own the occasional lib 403 00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with that, but I try to do it. 404 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: I know you two actually on substance and issues. So 405 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 1: if it's a question do you have the guts to 406 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: actually take him on? Yes, that matters. Yeah, do you 407 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: have a sense of humor and be fun about it? 408 00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 1: You know? Do you see the Portland rights are now 409 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 1: complaining They want like like the government to fund equipment 410 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 1: so they could riot. And look, I saw that and 411 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 1: I tweeted it out and I said, you know, absolutely, 412 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 1: I agree. I'm more than happy to give it to you. 413 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,360 Speaker 1: Every one of you that engages in violence, I'll give 414 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: you a taxpayer paid orange jumpsuit. That's exactly right. I mean, 415 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: it's you know, but it needs to be on substance. 416 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: There's also a point to that. When I'm saying that, 417 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm making a point that these are violent criminals that 418 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 1: should be incarcerated. You can have a little bit of 419 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: fun with it, yeah, and you probably should, but it's 420 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 1: got to be grounded and something real if it's going 421 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: to be effective. You know, just saying you suck it 422 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 1: is not a great message. And frankly, is how leftist. 423 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 1: I mean that that's basically what what they say to 424 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 1: Trump is they just hate him. I mean, they're just 425 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: orange man bad. I mean, that's just they just scream 426 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: primal rage. But look how many Republicans are actually engaged 427 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: in a real battle of ideas right now? Yea. And 428 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: what I'm urging the White House if they let it 429 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: be a personality contest, yep, that's what the left wants. 430 00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: That's what the left wants, and I think that's much 431 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: more dangerous than focusing on ideas that work. Yeah, well, 432 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: we will have to leave it there. I will see 433 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: you on the next episode. We'll see you on the 434 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 1: next episode. I'm Michael Knowles. This is Verdict with Ted Cruz. 435 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 1: This episode of Verdict with Ted Cruz is being brought 436 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,080 Speaker 1: to you by Jobs, Freedom and Security Pack, a political 437 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 1: action committee dedicated to supporting conservative causes, organizations, and candidates 438 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: across the country. In twenty twenty two, Jobs Freedom and 439 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 1: Security Pack plans to donate to conservative candidates running for 440 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: Congress and help the Republican Party across the aim
