1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:01,560 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: you and Senator I think it's time that we do 4 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 2: a really nice job exposing the left and the dark 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: money that is funding all of these anti Israel protests 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 2: across the country. 7 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. We're more than a week into 8 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 3: these rabid anti Israel Prohamas protests that we're seeing at 9 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 3: college campuses across the country, and a question that keeps 10 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 3: coming up is where is this money coming from. More 11 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 3: than a few people have noticed, Gosh, these protesters all 12 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 3: seem to have matching tents. The tents are brand new. 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 3: Who's paying for them? There's clearly real money behind that. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,519 Speaker 3: We're going to do a deep dive into that. 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're not trying to hide it, by the way, 16 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: when there's no subtlety, it's like wearing matching uniforms, it's 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: clear somebody paid for them. 18 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 3: That's happening. On top of that, we're going to do 19 00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: a deep dive into NPR. NPR has a new CEO. 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,960 Speaker 3: NPR is supposed to be national public Radio. It is 21 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 3: funded in significant part by your and my tax dollars, 22 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 3: and yet their new CEO is a hard left partisan activist. 23 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 3: She has no pretense of being impartial, of being unbiased. 24 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 3: She is a leftist, a proud, unabashed leftist. We're going 25 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: to go into her record as well. 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 2: I want to tell you real quick about a cool 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 2: note I got from one of you guys, and it said, 28 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: then I'd heard you talk about Patriot Mobile. And then 29 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 2: I did some digging and I found out that you 30 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 2: really weren't joking about how radical Big Mobile has gotten 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: in supporting democratic causes and candidates. But I didn't switch 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 2: because I've switched before and it took forever, and then 33 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 2: finally I actually had enough with my cell phone carrier 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: and I switched, And you were right. It is now 35 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: really easy with technology. Yes, switching your cell phone provider. 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: Is not hard like it used to be. 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 2: And if you are sick and tired of the left, 38 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 2: then stop funding them. Well, when you pay your bill 39 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: a Big Mobile, there's a very good chance you supporting 40 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 2: democratic causes, candidates, organizations that include Plan Parenthood. That's why 41 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 2: I switched to Patriot Mobile, and it's why I want 42 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 2: you to switch as well, because when you do five 43 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: percent of your bill every month on average without it 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 2: costing you any more. Money actually goes back to support 45 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 2: conservative causes, like those causes that support our First and 46 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: Second Amendment rights and the rights of unborn children. They 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 2: also do an incredible job supporting our military veterans, our 48 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: wounded warriors, our first responders, and those that have given 49 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 2: the ultimate sacrifice protecting and defending this country. That's another 50 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 2: reason why I'm with Patriot Mobile. I'm tired of my 51 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,320 Speaker 2: money being used against my family values. 52 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: So join me. 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: Switching is easy, and I'm going to give you free 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: activation as well.

When you look 59 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 2: at all of these protests, and you mentioned the matching tents, 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 2: it's kind of hilarious. They're not even trying to hide it. 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: This is exactly what we saw with Black Lives Matter 62 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: as well. It seems that anytime we now have really 63 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: well organized, whether it's shutting down the Golden Gate Bridge, 64 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: the Memphis Bridge, or the new York Bridge. It seems 65 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 2: like it's orchestrated, and now we're seeing these sit ins 66 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: and these tent cities that are popping up. It's almost 67 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 2: like a Black Lives Matter two point zero playbook here. 68 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: And it's coming from dark money groups that are funding bail, 69 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 2: they're funding the legal support for any and every anti 70 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: Israel agitator that's willing to come out and do this. 71 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. There's clearly significant money that are 72 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 3: funding these. As we noted a minute ago, they're tenth smatch, 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 3: they're tarpsmatch, they come in fully provisioned and we see them. 74 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: You know, we're seeing at universities it's not just students 75 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 3: as spontaneous. They're outside agitators who are treating it as 76 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: a job. So what do we know, Well that there 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: was an article that came out this week in News 78 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 3: Nation that says begins with the following. Columbia University is 79 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 3: warning of potential outside agitators as students hold continued protests 80 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: calling for a ceasefire in Gaza and a divestment from Israel. 81 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 3: And it explains that the demand has its root in 82 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 3: the BDS movement, the boycott divestment and sanctions movement which 83 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: has been going on for decades attacking Israel. And if 84 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 3: you look, there are several organizations who are funding this movement. 85 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 3: On Tuesday night, one group that was called Within Our 86 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: Lifetime held a protest outside the walls of Columbia calling 87 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 3: for resistance quote by any means necessary. They were chanting Colombia. 88 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 3: You will see we are all SJP Colombia. You will 89 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 3: learn refugees will return. And if you look at Within 90 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 3: our Lifetime is one of what News Nations describes as 91 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: a quote vast network of organizations that have coordinated protests 92 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 3: that have blocked highways, delayed trains, and shut down parts 93 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 3: of college campuses across the country for the past few months. 94 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 3: And it's led but it's a New York City based organization. 95 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 3: It's led by an individual named nier Dean Kisswane, who's 96 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: a twenty nine year old who founded the group nearly 97 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 3: a decade ago. And if you look at what Kiswane says, 98 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: he says, quote I just support the Palestinian people as 99 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: a whole, and I believe that we have a right 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 3: to resist. And if they're mad at it, they can 101 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 3: talk to Biden. They can talk to the Secretary of State, 102 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 3: they can talk to elected officials who keep funding wars abroad, 103 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 3: who keep funding death and killing on our name with 104 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 3: our tax dollars. And the group claims to not be 105 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 3: directly associated with a protest on college campuses. They're intertwined 106 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: with other organizations. One of the organizations is Students for 107 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 3: Justice in Palestine that's s JP, Jewish Voice for Peace 108 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: that's JVP, the Palestinian Youth Movement that's p y M, 109 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: and the American Muslims for Palestine that's a MP. And 110 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: and these are part of the of the whole network 111 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 3: of anti Israel, anti Zionists, anti Semitic groups across the country, 112 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: and several of the pro Palestinian organizations UH don't have 113 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 3: public tax filings. NBC did investigation within our Lifetime does 114 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: not have any public tax filings. Instead, what they use 115 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 3: is a group based in New York. It's a nonprofit 116 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 3: group called the Westchester People's Action Coalition Foundation WESTPAC, and 117 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: it's their fiscal sponsor to collect and process online donations 118 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: and tax laws allows them to be a five O 119 00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 3: C three status organization and they can collect money. We 120 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 3: don't know for sure who's funding them. It's dark money. 121 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 3: This is by design, this is to hide it. We 122 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: do know one of the groups, if not Now, has 123 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 3: received one hundred thousand dollars in the past five years 124 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: from the Rockefeller's Brothers Fund, and that organization's stated goal 125 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: is quote to end US support for Israel's apartheid system. 126 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: The fund is also awarded nearly a half billion dollars 127 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 3: to the Jewish Voice for Peace, another Palestadian rights organization. 128 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: And what we're seeing is well. Here are the comments 129 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: of Jonathan Shanzer. He's a former Treasury Department official who 130 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 3: says that the organizing parties are cultivated by potentially dangerous groups. 131 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 3: Here's the quote quote, They're extremely organized. There are a 132 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: lot of the Islamists leaning groups that I think many 133 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 3: of us have come to expect here. They are not spontaneous, 134 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: they are not necessarily organic. They are cultivated by groups 135 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: that have an ax to grind, and in particular, Shanzer 136 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: called for more aggressive investigation of the ties between the 137 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: pro Palestinian groups and terrorist organizations. He called for this 138 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 3: in testimony to Congress. Here's what he said. Quote, individuals 139 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 3: who have previously worked for Hamas charities are now a 140 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 3: driving force behind the large pro Hamas demonstrations taking place 141 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 3: in major cities across America, and in particular, he pointed 142 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: to an individual named Hatam Basian, who is a lecturer 143 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: at the University of California, Berkeley, as an example. And 144 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 3: Basian founded the national branch of SJP to promote campus 145 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 3: based activism, and later he launched AMP and Shanzer claimed 146 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: that Basian and his organizations are part of a network 147 00:08:55,559 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 3: that quote is providing training, talking points, materials, and financial 148 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 3: support to students, intimidating and threatening Jewish and pro Israel 149 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: students on college campuses. 150 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 2: You put all that together and you see it center 151 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: and it's like, this is pretty obvious. This is something 152 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,439 Speaker 2: that I think should probably be at some point investigated. 153 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 2: In fact, Newsweek has a headline just now and it 154 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: says police investigating people behind the pro Palaestinian protests, and 155 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: that is something that I'm kind of shocked it took 156 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: this long, but officials quote with the New York Police 157 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 2: Department said that their department is looking to who may 158 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 2: be behind the pro palating in protests of rock to 159 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 2: universities in Manhattan in recent days. Several dozen demonstrators were 160 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: arrested by police Monday night after students set up a 161 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: pro palasing encampment on New York University's campus. The demonstration, 162 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 2: which started around fifty individuals know the Stern School of Business, 163 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: grew to hundreds of protesters before rest were made. Spokesman 164 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 2: from the university said that it believed many of the 165 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 2: individuals who joined rally, including some who breach barriers established 166 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 2: by canvas safety officers, were not affiliated with NYU. Therefore, 167 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: they're now saying they are going to investigate it. I 168 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 2: mean this to me is a captain obvious, no brainer. 169 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 2: Of course you should be investigating this. Of course you are. 170 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: And I have zero confidence the Biden Department of Justice 171 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: will investigate. I have zero confidence the Biden FBI will investigate. 172 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: Why because, as we've discussed at great length, the Biden 173 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 3: DOJ and FBI have been thoroughly politicized and weaponized. And 174 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: the people funding these anti Semitic protests are leftists. They 175 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 3: are leftists who right now more and more are the 176 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: base of the Democrat Party. They're funding the Democrat Party 177 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 3: in significant respects. They are the radicals, they are the aocs, 178 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 3: they are the people who are chanting in dearborn Michigan, 179 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 3: death to America and death to Israel. And so the 180 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 3: Biden DOJ doesn't want to know. They want to plunge 181 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 3: their head into the sand like an Ostrich and say, 182 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 3: do not tell us. We do not care who's funding 183 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 3: it is not our concern. And let me point out 184 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 3: a they are a bunch of leftists. There are a 185 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 3: bunch of Marxists. There are a bunch of communists who 186 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: hate America who are funding this, I believe because they 187 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: hate America, because they hate Israel. And I will point 188 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 3: out those who hate Israel hate America. There is an overlap. 189 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: One of the many reasons it is an America's national 190 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: security interest to support Israel is the enemies of Israel 191 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 3: are the enemies of America. There's a reason the iyatola 192 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: chance death to America and death to Israel. The two 193 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: are interconnected. But there's also a very real risk. And 194 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 3: I just noted the congressional testimony laying this out that 195 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 3: these anti America and anti Israel protests are literally being 196 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 3: funded by our enemies, are being funded by Hamas, are 197 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 3: being funded by Hesbela, or are being funded by Iran 198 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 3: or the financial sponsors of Hamas and Hesbela. And again 199 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 3: we see zero interest on the part of the Department 200 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 3: of Justice to investigate whether those who support actual terrorists 201 00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 3: are funding the protests in support of the actual terrorists. 202 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 1: And mind you, we pla ask. 203 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: You this, what does the law then say, because this 204 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: is the frustrating part you look at. This was on 205 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: Good Day New York on Tuesday, the New York Police 206 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 2: Deputy Commissioner of Operations suggested that law enforcement was looking 207 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 2: into both instance or signs at the same individuals maybe 208 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 2: instigating the protests, adding that he believes some could be 209 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 2: funding this quote unquote in his words, he said, look 210 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: at the tents what you said earlier, They all were 211 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 2: the same color. They were all the same type of tents, 212 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: the same ones that we sough at NYU, the same 213 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: ones that we see in Columbia. To me, I think 214 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,319 Speaker 2: somebody's funding this. He added that professional agitators have also 215 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 2: joined the student led protests who are just looking for 216 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: something to be and I think he was trying to 217 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 2: use calm words agitated. Somebody's behind this and we're going 218 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 2: to find out who it is. But if you're writing 219 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 2: this check, Senator, whether it's Soros group, whether it's coming 220 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: in from corporations, whether it's coming in from over their sas. 221 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: It seems like they're operating. 222 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 2: Under the the idea that hey, we've got a one 223 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: degree of separation here. We're just giving them money and 224 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: whatever choose for that's not us. 225 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean that's right. I mean I've talked 226 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 3: about before that. For three months, I've had every Saturday 227 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 3: morning at seven am, anti Israel Prohamas protesters show up 228 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,719 Speaker 3: in my house and it's the same fifteen people. Ironically, 229 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 3: now I don't know exactly what they look like because 230 00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: they all wear masks. Because as we've seen on campuses, 231 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 3: these anti Israel and anti American zealots are also cowards 232 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 3: and they want to hide their face. They're not actually 233 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,959 Speaker 3: willing to show who they are. But from the appearances 234 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: the people at my house, if there are any Palestinians 235 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 3: among them, I'd be surprised. They look like a bunch 236 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: of Hispanic and white liberals who are showing up. But 237 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 3: what's interesting is they show up every Saturday at seven am, 238 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: they leave about eight am. They show up, they have 239 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 3: the same cowbells, they have the same whistles. They're screaming, 240 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,719 Speaker 3: they're waking children up, they're disturbing the neighbors. But they 241 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 3: show up like a job. That there is a regularity 242 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 3: to it that I'm convinced is paying them to do this, 243 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 3: That that that it's not spontaneous, it's not driven by 244 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 3: external events. It is it is our job to show 245 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 3: up and chant. And and and by the way, look a, 246 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 3: there is a risk that it is foreign actors who 247 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 3: hate America and hate Israel, but b there that there 248 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: is also the very real likelihood that that it is local, 249 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:26,400 Speaker 3: local players, anti American Zealots. And and and the obvious 250 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 3: one in particular is George Soros. And and I want 251 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 3: to point you to an article that Fox News published 252 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: on April sixteenth, called left wing dark money group funds 253 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 3: bail legal support for anti Israel agitators blocking traffic and 254 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 3: and what Fox News reported was quote a left wing 255 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 3: dark money group funded by billionaire George Soros will provide 256 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 3: bail and legal support for anti Israel activists arrested after 257 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,440 Speaker 3: blocking major roads and highways nationwide this week, according to 258 00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: an online fundraiser, and the demonstrations were largely organized by 259 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 3: A fifteen Action, a recently created group that said it 260 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 3: would quote create coordinate a multi city economic blockade on 261 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 3: April fifteenth in solidarity with Palestine, and under the group's 262 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: quote resources section on its website, there is a quote 263 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 3: Bail and Legal Defense Fund hosted by Act Blue. Now understand. 264 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 3: ActBlue is the leading fundraising platform for Democrat candidates nationwide. 265 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 3: It raises billions of dollars for Democrat candidates running across 266 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 3: the country. Act Blue is essentially an extension of the 267 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: Democrat Party and it is Act Blue that is raising 268 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: money for the Bail and Legal Defense Fund to bail 269 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 3: out anti Israel Prohamas protesters who have been arrested and 270 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 3: the threshold to being arrested is is pretty high, particularly 271 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: in blue jurisdictions, and according to the website, the contributions 272 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 3: quote will benefit Community Justice Exchange, which is a project 273 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 3: of the Tide Center that is funded by George Soros, 274 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: and the fundraising page continues, quote donate here to support 275 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 3: community members who are criminalized in the US for their 276 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: solidarity with Palestine, and it goes on to say, quote, 277 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: should the actions of the state result in the need 278 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 3: for it, these funds will be used for bail, legal defense, 279 00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 3: and support for defendants. And the Community Justice Exchange describes 280 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 3: its mission as to provide quote money bail, court fees 281 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 3: and fines to community based organizations across the country that 282 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: are experimenting with bottoms up interventions that contests the current 283 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 3: operation and function of the criminal, legal and immigration detention system. 284 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: So bottoms up interventions, that's a euphemism for riots, for angry, 285 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 3: disruptive protests. And to give you a sense of the volume. 286 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 3: In November, it was revealed that the Soros backed Open 287 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 3: Society Policy Center had given thirteen point seven million dollars 288 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 3: through the Tide Center to groups that have expressed support 289 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: for Hamas or have justified attacks on Israel, with over 290 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 3: fifteen million donated since twenty sixteen. 291 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 1: That's incredible. 292 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: And yet they're basically aiding and bedding and advocating for 293 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 2: people to break the law and advocating for them to 294 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 2: get arrested, and this is all apparently still legal. Welcome 295 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: to where we are in this country right now. I 296 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 2: want to tell you real quick about my friends ever 297 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 2: at Chalk, the twenty twenty four elections upon us and 298 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 2: the war on masculinity in America today is well more 299 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 2: blatant than ever, and I want you to know that 300 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 2: now is the time to choose strength and vitality over 301 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 2: weakness and complacency.

One other question, Senator, I 320 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 2: want to ask, and this goes back to the people 321 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 2: that are running these universities that are allowing this anti 322 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 2: senitism to continue to grow. You're one of your friends 323 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 2: in the house, Speaker Johnson. He went to Colombia and 324 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 2: actually called for the Columbia president to resign. 325 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: Here is what he had to say. 326 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 4: Let me say this very simply. No American of any 327 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 4: color or creed should ever have to live under those 328 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: kinds of threats. That is not who we are in 329 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 4: this country. Sadly, Colombia's administrators have chosen to let the threats, 330 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 4: the fear, and the intimidation of the mob rule to 331 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,400 Speaker 4: overtake American principles like free speech and the free free 332 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 4: exchange of ideas and the free exercise of religion. They 333 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: have co opted First Amendment arguments to protect genocide and 334 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: to elevate the voices of anti Semitism. They have proven 335 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 4: themselves to be incapable of achieving their base basic responsibility, 336 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 4: which is keeping students safe. We just can't allow this 337 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 4: kind of hatred and any Semitism to flourish on our campuses, 338 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 4: and it must be stopped in its tracks. Those who 339 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 4: are perpetrating this violence should be arrested. And I'm here today. 340 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 4: I am here today joining my colleagues and calling on 341 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 4: President Shaffi to resign if she cannot immediately bring order 342 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 4: to this chaos. A Speaker of the House, I am 343 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 4: committing today that the Congress will not be silent as 344 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 4: Jewish students are expected to run for their lives and 345 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 4: stay home from their classes, hiding in fear. In the 346 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 4: House of Representatives, We've already acted to address anti semitism 347 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: on campuses. We have passed a number of statutes to 348 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 4: address this matter, and we call upon the US Senate 349 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 4: to act upon our legislation. 350 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: He obviously came in with a game plan, and it's 351 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 2: sad that the President of the United States of America 352 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 2: isn't saying exactly what Speaker Johnson said. 353 00:20:57,880 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: Immediately, the media attacked him. 354 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 2: And a people that went to Columbia saying, oh, this 355 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: is just a pr stunt, the publicity stunt. They don't 356 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: really care about what's happening on campus as they saw 357 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 2: an opportunity here. 358 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,439 Speaker 1: I couldn't disagree with that more. 359 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,439 Speaker 2: But I'm glad that we have conservatives that are saying 360 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,359 Speaker 2: enough is enough. 361 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, No, it was exactly the right thing to do. 362 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,199 Speaker 3: Joe Biden lacks the courage or conviction to do the 363 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 3: same thing, and in fact, he's terrified to confront these 364 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: radicals because more and more they're the base of the 365 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 3: Democrat Party. I'll tell you Yesterday, AOC, in response to 366 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 3: the Speaker of the House and several House Republicans going 367 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 3: to Columbia, she tweeted out, let me quote her tweet 368 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 3: quote several here, like Representatives Lawler and Desposito, are vulnerable 369 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 3: New York Republicans in tight seats. They have played a 370 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 3: key role drumming up pressure to crack down on students 371 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 3: and asymmetrically police Palestinian human rights speech. Those campus hearings 372 00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 3: gop led. They need to lose, and so I tweeted 373 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 3: out in response, I retweeted her and I said, understand, 374 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 3: AOC explicitly supports the anti Semitic mobs threatening Jewish students 375 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: at Columbia, Yale, and NYU. But it's not just her. 376 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 3: Joe Biden stood next to her as she praised their 377 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 3: hateful conduct. The entire Democrat Party is terrified of their 378 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 3: radical anti Israel base. And I'll tell you AOC actually 379 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 3: sent out another tweet and and and here's what she said. 380 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 3: She said quote not only did Columbia make the horrific 381 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: decision to mobilize NYPD on their own students, but the 382 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,119 Speaker 3: unions called the units called in have some of the 383 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 3: most violent reputations on the force. NYPD had promised the 384 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:49,360 Speaker 3: city they wouldn't deploy SRG to protests, So why are 385 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 3: these counter terrorism units here? And again I responded to 386 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 3: that and said, between law enforcement and Prohamas protesters who 387 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 3: threatened Jewish students, tragically, Democrats side with the anti semits. 388 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: That is the reality. But it's not just DOOC, It's 389 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 3: not just the squad. It is where Joe Biden is, 390 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,479 Speaker 3: It is where Chuck Schumer is, it is where Nancy 391 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 3: Pelosi is, it is where the leadership of the Democrat 392 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 3: Party is. 393 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 1: Today we talked about the media giving them cover. 394 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: I expect some in the media to be liberal hacks, right, 395 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: but this brings up a big issue that we need 396 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 2: to talk about. 397 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: With MPR. 398 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 2: The new CEO of MPR is someone that is paid 399 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 2: by US taxpayers and someone who has described the First 400 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: Amendment as the number one challenge she faces. Our tax 401 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 2: dollars are going to a CEO who's running in PR 402 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 2: National Public Radio saying the First Amendment really seems to 403 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 2: get in her way. Really, that's where money is going. 404 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: Well. 405 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, NPR has been profoundly correct, and it's been made 406 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 3: worse by hiring a CEO who was a brazen, blatant, 407 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 3: unapologetic radical leftist, and she doesn't pretend to be unbiased 408 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: at all. Now, we discussed in a previous podcast couple 409 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: of weeks ago the Bombshell report from Uri Berliner. Uri 410 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 3: Berliner was a twenty five year NPR employee and was 411 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:27,159 Speaker 3: the former business editor of NPR, and he wrote an 412 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 3: April ninth essay in The Free Press which resulted in 413 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: NPR suspending him for publishing how's that for free speech? 414 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:38,199 Speaker 3: If you criticize us, you're out of here all and 415 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 3: ultimately led to his resignation. 416 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: So he's gone. 417 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 3: This essay cost of his job, but he laid out 418 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 3: the incredible bias at NPR and the shift at NPR. So, 419 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 3: for example, he laid out in twenty eleven, which was 420 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 3: not that long ago, NPR's audience was twenty six percent conservative, 421 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 3: twenty three percent middle of the road, and thirty seven 422 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 3: percent liberal, so it leaned left, but not dramatically. So 423 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 3: by twenty twenty three, those numbers had shifted dramatically. It 424 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 3: was now instead of thirty seven percent liberal, it was 425 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 3: sixty seven percent liberal, and instead of twenty six percent conservative, 426 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: it was only eleven percent conservative. And mister Berliner laid 427 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 3: out details of how they would stifle stories that were 428 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,439 Speaker 3: inconvenient to liberals. They would amplify stories like the Russia 429 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 3: collusion story, even if they were not supported by the facts. 430 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 3: He outlined at great length how NPR had had no 431 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 3: interest in being impartial, being unbiased. And then you take 432 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 3: in the wake of this and the wake of what 433 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 3: should be real concern of Hey, we're national public radio. 434 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 3: We're supposed to be nonpartisan, We're supposed to be down 435 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 3: the middle. Now look, I for one, have serious doubts 436 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 3: why the taxpayer should fund any radio station. I think 437 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 3: there are plenty of for profit radio stations. I don't 438 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 3: know why the government should coursibly tax you to pay 439 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: for yet another radio station. But I'll tell you what, 440 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 3: even if there's an argument they should do so for 441 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 3: generic news that somehow there's not a market demand for, 442 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 3: there is no argument I know of that they should 443 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 3: do so only for left wing propaganda. And the newly 444 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 3: appointed CEO, Catherine Marr, has been a hard partisan her 445 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: whole life. So, for example, in twenty twenty, Mar referred 446 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 3: to President Donald Trump as a quote deranged racist sociopath. Well, 447 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: then I'm confident her coverage of Donald Trump will be 448 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: fair as long as she introduces him as a deranged, 449 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 3: racist sociopath every time he's covered. 450 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: How do you even get that job? 451 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,640 Speaker 2: And I'm being serious, if you're national public radio, how 452 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 2: does that automatically disqualify you from that position as soon 453 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,600 Speaker 2: as they see that quote? 454 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, and by the way, that's not an outlier. In 455 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one, she celebrated Trump's banishment from social media, 456 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 3: referring to him as a fascist. So she loves censorship, Okay, 457 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 3: the former president of the United States elected by the 458 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 3: American people. I'm thrilled that he's being silenced because I 459 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,160 Speaker 3: dislike his politics and I think he's a fascist. In 460 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: May of twenty twenty, right in the middle of the 461 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 3: George Floyd riots, mar suggested that looting represented a form 462 00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 3: of reparative justice for historic wrongs, and she remarked how 463 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 3: white silence is tantamount to complicity and violence. She's also 464 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 3: posted repeatedly in support of Democrat politicians including Hillary Clinton, 465 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 3: Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, and Joe Biden. Now listen as 466 00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,239 Speaker 3: a private citizen, she has a right to be an 467 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:04,439 Speaker 3: angry left winding radical and a hard Democrat partisan. But 468 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: explain to me why on earth the American taxpayers should 469 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 3: fund her partisan propaganda. 470 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, and yet that's exactly why she probably got the job, 471 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 2: because they're like, oh, perfect, You're going to keep pushing 472 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: this propaganda out there full speed ahead. Want to ask 473 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 2: all of you listening right now to do me a 474 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 2: favor real quick. I want you to place your hand 475 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,840 Speaker 2: over your heart if you can, can you feel that 476 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,000 Speaker 2: it's your heartbeat telling you that you are alive. It's 477 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 2: the same for a preborn baby. Their heart begins to 478 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,360 Speaker 2: form at conception, and in just three weeks it is 479 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 2: already beating. At five weeks, a baby's heartbeat can be 480 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 2: heard on an ultrasound. And that is why I am 481 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 2: proud to say that I'm partnering with Preborn, because we 482 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,960 Speaker 2: need to help those precious babies. Every day, Preborn's network 483 00:28:54,040 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 2: of clinic rescues two hundred babies from abortion. Why because 484 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: when a mother with an unplanned pregnancy meets her baby 485 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 2: on ultrasound and here's their baby's heartbeat, it is a 486 00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: divine encounter that doubles a baby's chance at life. By 487 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 2: six weeks, eyes are forming, by ten weeks, a baby's 488 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 2: able to suck his or her own thumb, And for 489 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 2: just twenty eight dollars, you can be the difference between 490 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: life or death of that child. It is incredible because 491 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,560 Speaker 2: what Preborn does is they give the chance for a 492 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 2: mother to hear the baby's heart beat. 493 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 1: Now, all gifts are tax deductible. You can donate, and 494 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: you can donate easily. 495 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 2: Just dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. 496 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 2: That's pound two fifty and say the keyword baby. You 497 00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 2: can donate securely at preborn dot com slash verdict as well. 498 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:04,040 Speaker 2: That's preborn dot co slash verdict. Senator, if you are 499 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: at MPR, can you imagine if you are lefty, lefty, 500 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,240 Speaker 2: how much freedom. I think it would make you feel 501 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 2: like you had to then go out there and continue 502 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 2: to push propaganda on the American people. If this is 503 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,640 Speaker 2: your CEO, I mean, it's a license to basically go 504 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:25,040 Speaker 2: all in on liberal propaganda at the taxpayer's expense. 505 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 3: Now, that is exactly right, And I've got to say listen. 506 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 3: As you know, I'm the ranking member on the Senate 507 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,600 Speaker 3: Committee of Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and part of my 508 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: responsibility in that role, we've got jurisdiction over about forty 509 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 3: percent of the US economy, and part of my responsibility 510 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: is oversighted. I can tell you that I am actively 511 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 3: engaging in oversight right now, calling on NPR to explain, 512 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 3: to explain why they're willing to put in place a 513 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: hard left wing activist, not a neutral journalist, but someone. 514 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: Who is biased, who is. 515 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,240 Speaker 3: Who is an active supporter of censorship, to violence, to 516 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 3: silence the views she disagrees with. Why NPR believes that 517 00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 3: that is an appropriate leader for their institution. 518 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really great point. 519 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 3: And listen, don't necessarily take our word for it. I 520 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,000 Speaker 3: want you to listen to Catherine Maher in her own words, 521 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,160 Speaker 3: because it's going to show just how radical she is. 522 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,640 Speaker 3: And I want to play a couple clips. Let's start 523 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:32,920 Speaker 3: with her explaining that, in her view, the number one 524 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 3: challenge that she faces is the First Amendment of the Constitution. 525 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: Let's play that clip. 526 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 5: The number one challenge here that we see is, of course, 527 00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 5: the First Amendment in the United States is a. 528 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 6: Fairly robust protection of rights. 529 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 5: And that is a protection of rights both for platforms, 530 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 5: which I actually think is very important that platforms have 531 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 5: those rights to be able to regulate what kind of 532 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 5: content they want on their sites, but it also means 533 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 5: that it is a little bit tricky you really address 534 00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 5: some of the real challenges of where does bad information 535 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 5: come from and sort of the influence peddlers who have 536 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,480 Speaker 5: made a real market economy around it. 537 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing center. 538 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 2: This is the woman running MPR, and I guess this 539 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 2: is almost like the best thing you can put on 540 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 2: your resume, right. You're like, hey, I think the First 541 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 2: Amendment's are real problem. It's like perfect, We'd love to 542 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 2: hire you at MPR. 543 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and she actually says, well, the First Amendment is 544 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 3: really important for platforms. But then what she describes as 545 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 3: their first Amendment right, is for their ability to censor 546 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,720 Speaker 3: and silence things they disagree with. So to her mind, 547 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 3: what she cares about is the ability if there's a 548 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 3: view that is right a center. As far as she's concerned, 549 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 3: the First Amendment is all about silencing those views. There 550 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,120 Speaker 3: can be no dissent, all right. I want you to 551 00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 3: listen to another clip. This is a Ted talk where 552 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 3: she's discussing truth when she was at Wikipedia, and somehow 553 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 3: she has a different view of truth than I think 554 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 3: you and I might have. Give a listen. 555 00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,840 Speaker 7: But the hard things, the places where we are prone 556 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 7: to disagreement, say politics, religion. Well, as it turns out, 557 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 7: not only does Wikipedia's model work there, it actually works 558 00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 7: really well because in our normal lives, these contentious conversations 559 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 7: tend to rrupt or disagreement about what the truth actually is. 560 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 7: But the people who write these articles, they're not focused 561 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 7: on the truth. They're focused on something else, which is 562 00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 7: the best of what we can know right now. And 563 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 7: after seven years of working with these brilliant folks, I've 564 00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,680 Speaker 7: come to believe that they are onto something that perhaps 565 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 7: for our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking 566 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:46,160 Speaker 7: to convince others of the truth might not be the 567 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 7: right place to start. In fact, our reverence for the 568 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 7: truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way 569 00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 7: of finding common ground and getting things done. That is 570 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:05,600 Speaker 7: not to say that the truth doesn't exist, nor is 571 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,880 Speaker 7: it to say that the truth isn't important. Clearly, the 572 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,280 Speaker 7: search for the truth has led us to do great things, 573 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:18,640 Speaker 7: to learn great things. But I think if I were 574 00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 7: to really ask you to think about this, one of 575 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 7: the things that we could all acknowledge is that part 576 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 7: of the reason we have such glorious chronicles to the 577 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 7: human experience in all forms of culture is because we 578 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:36,120 Speaker 7: acknowledge there are many different truths, and so in the 579 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:39,520 Speaker 7: spirit of that, I'm certain that the truth exists for 580 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 7: you and probably for the person sitting next to you, 581 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 7: But this may not be the same truth. This is 582 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 7: because the truth of the matter is very often for 583 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 7: many people. What happens when we merge facts about the 584 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 7: world with our beliefs about the world. So we all 585 00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 7: have different truths based on things like where we come from, 586 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:07,360 Speaker 7: how we were raised, and how other people perceive us. 587 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 3: What utter garbage like every word of that you want 588 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: an indictment of the modern left you want an indictment 589 00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 3: of the idiocy of media. You want an indictment of 590 00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,640 Speaker 3: the academic world. You want an indictment of big tech. 591 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 3: Good God, what utter garbage? Truth doesn't exist? George or 592 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 3: Well is spinning in his grave and laughing at the 593 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 3: same time. Two plus two doesn't equal four, It equals 594 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,480 Speaker 3: five because we say it is. There is no truth. 595 00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,399 Speaker 3: Listen to that quote. Our reverence for the truth might 596 00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 3: be a distraction that's getting in the way of finding 597 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,759 Speaker 3: common ground and getting things done. But don't worry. This 598 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 3: is only for things that don't matter, the contentious issues. 599 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,439 Speaker 3: What does she identify politics and religion? When it comes 600 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,759 Speaker 3: to politics and religion, look, Jesus Christ said, I am 601 00:35:47,800 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 3: the way the truth in the life. But no, no, no, no, no, 602 00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 3: no no, don't have reverence for truth. We're not interested 603 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 3: in that. We are interested in set aside of truth. 604 00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,520 Speaker 3: That can be your truth, my truth. Everyone has a truth. 605 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 3: Maybe for you, two plus two is five. What utter garbage? 606 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 3: You know what a journalist's supposed to be interested in 607 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 3: the truth. Now, do you have perfect truth? No? Do 608 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 3: you have perfect knowledge? No? But you should get damn 609 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 3: close to it. You should be trying to get to 610 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,359 Speaker 3: the truth. Remember what journalists used to learn? 611 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:16,680 Speaker 1: Who? What, when? Where? How? Why? 612 00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 5: Like? 613 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 3: What happened? What are the facts? Well, no, no, no, not 614 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,720 Speaker 3: according to her. According to to her, there are no facts. 615 00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 3: There is no truth. It's your truth, it's my truth, 616 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,160 Speaker 3: and my truth. From Catherine Marr's perspective is as a 617 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,799 Speaker 3: left wing partisan, whatever the orthodoxy is, and we will 618 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 3: silence views that disagree. And the First Amendment is a 619 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,359 Speaker 3: pesky pesky barrier. All right, I want to play one 620 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 3: more clip. Yeah, one more clip where she's describing what 621 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,000 Speaker 3: she did at Wikipedia. Listen to this third clip. 622 00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 6: I started by talking about the idea of free and 623 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,839 Speaker 6: open as some of our founding principles sort of free 624 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 6: and open source coming from me to the open source community. Well, 625 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,759 Speaker 6: I have come to the opinion and the perspective that 626 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 6: and open was a way of looking at the world 627 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,120 Speaker 6: that was inherently limited relative to what we were trying 628 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,080 Speaker 6: to achieve. Free and open has the best of intentionality, 629 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 6: but in the end, what free and open often ended 630 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,360 Speaker 6: up doing, and particularly in the case of Wikipedia, was 631 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,440 Speaker 6: really recapitulating many of the same power structures and dynamics 632 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,800 Speaker 6: that exist offline prior to the advent of the Internet. 633 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,760 Speaker 6: And so what we ended up seeing was Wikipedia really 634 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:28,600 Speaker 6: rebuilt this idea of knowledge as a whole around what 635 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,759 Speaker 6: the Western canon. You see, the exclusion of communities of 636 00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,480 Speaker 6: languages because of the ways in which Wikipedia is based 637 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,920 Speaker 6: on reliable sources. The idea of a written tradition is 638 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:44,280 Speaker 6: something that is particular to many I mean not sorry, 639 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 6: the idea of a written tradition which is particular to 640 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,879 Speaker 6: some cultures and not to others. The ways in which 641 00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 6: we I ascribe notability often really comes from sort of 642 00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:58,640 Speaker 6: this white male, westernized construct around who matters in societies 643 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 6: and who is elevated and who's and so some of 644 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,560 Speaker 6: these ideas. So this radical openness really did not end 645 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 6: up with the intention, really did not end up living 646 00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,840 Speaker 6: into the intentionality of what openness can be. 647 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 3: I mean, that just is brilliant right there, God bless so. 648 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: Look she's explaining at Wikipedia, they deliberately abandoned a quote 649 00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 3: free and open approach. By the way she's telling you 650 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:26,680 Speaker 3: what she's going to do at NPR. NPR is not 651 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 3: going to be free and open, according to her, because 652 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,520 Speaker 3: she doesn't believe in free and open. Why because free 653 00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:37,359 Speaker 3: and open number one. She says, well, that advantages cultures 654 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 3: that believe in the written word, because you know, what 655 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,919 Speaker 3: good has book learning ever done anyone? Well, heck, you're 656 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 3: forgetting those cultures that don't believe in that fancy learning 657 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 3: stuff like what utter garbage. I'm sorry, I thought, actually 658 00:38:53,480 --> 00:39:00,920 Speaker 3: a journalistic outfit should actually reflect celebrate the best of education, 659 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,799 Speaker 3: of learning, of what we know. But she says, no, no, no, no. 660 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 3: If it's actually free and open, it will recapitulate a 661 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:14,040 Speaker 3: white male, westernized, westernized construct. Let me ask you something, Ben, 662 00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 3: what the hell does that mean? Seriously? Those are the 663 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 3: words Marxist use, and typically the more syllables they use 664 00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 3: when they get polysyllabic, the less they're making any sense. 665 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:31,200 Speaker 3: So explain to me the phrase recapitulate a white male, 666 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:35,440 Speaker 3: westernized construct that does not end up living into the 667 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,840 Speaker 3: intentionality of what openness can mean. Those words have no 668 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,719 Speaker 3: content other than I want the power to silence things 669 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 3: I don't like. 670 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? No, you're right, And my question goes 671 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,960 Speaker 1: back to this. For you. It used to be at MPR. 672 00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,560 Speaker 2: And others they would at least fake it like their bias. 673 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 2: Now it's just flat out open, and they're doing it 674 00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,560 Speaker 2: with our tax tours. Is there ever going to be 675 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:02,399 Speaker 2: a day day of reckoning where MPR finds out, hey, 676 00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 2: good luck, do your own thing, because we're not going 677 00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 2: to pay for this propagana anymore. 678 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,000 Speaker 3: Look, if NPR cares at all about journalistic integrity, if 679 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,360 Speaker 3: they care at all about continuing to receive taxpayer funds, 680 00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 3: they should terminate Catherine Marr immediately. Her job should be done. 681 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,920 Speaker 3: They should not have a rabid left wing partisan who 682 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:23,520 Speaker 3: hates the First Amendment, who've used it as an inconvenience, 683 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,400 Speaker 3: who wants to censor conservatives, who is actively explicitly and 684 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:31,120 Speaker 3: unabashedly opposed to free and open communication, who doesn't believe 685 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,759 Speaker 3: in truth, who believes truth is an impediment to what 686 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 3: she's doing. That is not a journalist in any way. 687 00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:38,440 Speaker 3: She ought to go and join Emily's List, she ought 688 00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,399 Speaker 3: to go and join the DNC. She gotta go run 689 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 3: for Congress and become a henchman to Nancy Pelosi. She 690 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,759 Speaker 3: should not actually be running a news organization, especially not 691 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,359 Speaker 3: a news organization funded by the taxpayers. And if we 692 00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 3: have to be honest, if you had a Democrat who 693 00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 3: had a shred of integrity. They would say, of course, 694 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:00,160 Speaker 3: this is not appropriate for her to run NPR are 695 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 3: the chances of that happening are zero? But I can 696 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: tell you I'm going to be pushing for accountability and 697 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,920 Speaker 3: I'm going to be pushing for oversight of NPR because 698 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 3: it is brazenly shameless for them to put someone so 699 00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:14,840 Speaker 3: wildly unqualified in that position. 700 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it.
