Senator, I want to 60 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 2: talk about this issue, and it really did not get 61 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: a lot of media attention, and it absolutely should and 62 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 2: it's something that I hope vertic listeners will expose and 63 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: spread this everywhere on social media. The Biden administration has 64 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 2: flat out admitted now that they flew in three hundred 65 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 2: and twenty thousand illegal immigrants secretly into the us to 66 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 2: quote reduce the number of crossings at the southern border. 67 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 2: So we're importing illegal immigrants and they will not tell 68 00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: us what cities they drop these illegal immigrants off in. 69 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: Well, Ben, every word you just said there is true. 70 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: And what's astonishing is number one, you can't learn any 71 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 3: of it listening to the corporate media. CNN won't report 72 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: on it, ABCNBCCBS, they won't report on it. But every 73 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: element of that is astonishing. So look, Joe Biden, the 74 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: administration likes to portray themselves as helpless victims. There was 75 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 3: just this massive influx of illegal immigration. They had nothing 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 3: to do with it. It was not their fault. They 77 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: were just innocent bystanders. Well, this story, it's not just 78 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 3: the ten point four million illegal immigrants that have crossed 79 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 3: illegally under Joe Biden that have been encountered at the 80 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 3: southern border, or that we know about their god aways. 81 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: The border patrols saw them, they spotted them, but they 82 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: got away. It's not just that. But just in the 83 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 3: last few days, it broke that the Biden administration flew 84 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 3: over three hundred and twenty thousand illegal immigrants secretly into 85 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:50,359 Speaker 3: the US. And understand This is not flying them from 86 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: McCallan or Laredo or El Paso to somewhere else in 87 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: the US. This is flying them from foreign countries. So 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 3: the Biden administration is connect acting with illegal immigrants in 89 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: foreign countries, saying, Hey, you want to come illegally to America, 90 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: we will fly you. We will put you on a plane, 91 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: we will fly you illegally into this country. By the way, 92 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 3: they have an easy solution if they don't want to 93 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 3: do that, they could just say we're not going to 94 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 3: fly you. But they didn't do that. And then, amazingly, 95 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 3: when this story broke, the Biden administration's position is we're 96 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,559 Speaker 3: not going to tell you what cities that we flew 97 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 3: these three hundred and twenty thousand illegal immigrants too, And 98 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 3: they're simply refusing to answer that question. 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: They said it was a security issue. 100 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: They said it was a security issue, and that's why, 101 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,119 Speaker 2: which is the biggest load. I'm sorry a bs Ever, Yes, 102 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: I mean this is a cover up because they know 103 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: that local cities mayors will be probably furious if they 104 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: didn't know about this. This goes back to what we 105 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: saw with the federal government doing this in the middle 106 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: of the night. Remember when they were dropping off people 107 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,559 Speaker 2: that came into America from Texas on airplanes, on buses 108 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 2: in the middle of the night in smaller cities without 109 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: notifying local authorities there. 110 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: This is corruption at a whole other level. 111 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and understand, the reason we know this is not 112 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 3: because the Biden administration told us. It's not because they 113 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 3: told the American people and said, hey, we're doing this, 114 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 3: we think this is important. What happened was they were sued. 115 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: They were sued under the Freedom of Information Act by 116 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 3: the Center for Immigration Studies, and in response to that lawsuit, 117 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: they released documents that showed that the Biden administration had 118 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: paid for secretive flights of hundreds of thousands of eligal 119 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: immigrants and they flew them into at least forty three 120 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: different American airports. And this is from January to December 121 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,799 Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, so this is last year, three hundred 122 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: and twenty thousand illegal immigrants they flew into. And the 123 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: amazing thing is when asked what were the forty three 124 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 3: airport flew him into, they said, we can't tell you. 125 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: That would be a security risk. So every community, if 126 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 3: you're listening to this and you're in any city in 127 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 3: America you ought to be asking is my city one 128 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: of the forty three that Joe Biden and his apparatchicks 129 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: flew illegal immigrants into. They're not answering this, and they 130 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 3: used an app that So the Biden administration came out 131 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: with an app called the CVP one app, which lets 132 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 3: an illegal immigrant in a foreign country click on the 133 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 3: app and say, hey, I'd like to invade America. And 134 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: apparently Joe Biden said that's awesome. We'll fly you here 135 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 3: illegally and let you stay here. I mean it just 136 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: at this point, I'm literally at a loss for words. 137 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: When you look at this. 138 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: What oversight is there from Congress, from the Senate? How 139 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 2: can the federal government do this and not alert you 140 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 2: guys to it? A program that went for an entire year, 141 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 2: the last fiscal year that we know about, and three 142 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand, how do you hide that financially? 143 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: I mean, these are basically. 144 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 2: Charter flights, charter planes that are coming into the country. 145 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 2: How many flights does it take to bring three hundred 146 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: and twenty thousand plus illegal immigrants that you are? And 147 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: I want to say this word again because I think 148 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 2: that's the part that vertical listeners need to take. 149 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: A hold of. 150 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: Importing. They had not broken into America. We're importing. The 151 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 2: Biden administration was importing them into America's interior. 152 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 1: How much money was this? Do you know? 153 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: I have no idea, and it is it is incredible. 154 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 3: But you asked how many flights? Let me give you 155 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: an example. A Boeing seven thirty seven, one of the 156 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: most common commercial airliners in the world, seats between one 157 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 3: hundred and eight and two hundred and fifteen passengers, depending 158 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 3: on how it's set up. So three hundred and twenty 159 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 3: thousand thousand, that means you're looking at over a thousand flights, 160 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,559 Speaker 3: and it may be as many as two thousand flights. 161 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 3: If they averaged one hundred and fifty passengers a flight, 162 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 3: then it is over two thousand flights that the Biden 163 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 3: administration booked. They did so secretly, They hid them, They 164 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: flew them into cities all over America, forty three cities, 165 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 3: and they didn't tell Congress, or if they told Congress, 166 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 3: they certainly didn't tell me. I don't know of anyone 167 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,960 Speaker 3: in Congress who knew this. And their whole story is well, gosh, 168 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 3: what are we supposed to do when they come here illegally. Well, 169 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 3: here's a crazy idea. Don't charter them a private plane 170 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: to fly them illegally to America. I mean, it really is. 171 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 3: And by the way, the app I mentioned that they 172 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:53,080 Speaker 3: used the CVP one app that is eligible for people 173 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:59,959 Speaker 3: coming from Haiti, from Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, 174 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: on Duras, Columbia, and Ecuador, and so three hundred and 175 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: twenty thousand additional illegal immigrants. And by the way, one 176 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: of those countries is Venezuela. I'll tell you a a 177 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 3: question I want to know, which is the illegal immigrant 178 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 3: who murdered Lake and Riley. Did the Biden administration actually 179 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: pay to charter a plane to fly him to America. 180 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that, but the CBP 181 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 3: one app worked from Venezuela. He came from Venezuela, so 182 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 3: he could well be in this group. And you know what, 183 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 3: nobody in this White House is answering that question. Did 184 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 3: they literally charter flight into America the murderer that murdered 185 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: that twenty two year old young woman in Georgia. 186 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the overall narrative here. 187 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: You and I have been talking about this on Verdict 188 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: for quite some time, and that is it is very 189 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 2: clear that this president and the Democratic Party, I say 190 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 2: it again, I think the Democratic Party is dead. I 191 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 2: think they're masquerading as communist socialists in Mark. They obviously 192 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 2: are trying to fundamentally change this country. We know that 193 00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 2: they have said come as many of you as you can, 194 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 2: as fast as you can across our border. Any border state, 195 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: obviously Texas is affected. I would say the most by 196 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: this out of any state. 197 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: But this is. 198 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,479 Speaker 2: Now on a level that I didn't even think was possible. 199 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 2: That it's not good enough just to open the border 200 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 2: to the fetanyl, open the border to the people that 201 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 2: are coming across, killing, opening the border to millions of 202 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants center. This is now an orchestrated effort to 203 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 2: import illegal immigrants and a very expensive price tag. I mean, 204 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 2: my point is you're saying the twenty million that have 205 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 2: come across wasn't enough. You had to go spend primo 206 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 2: dollars to bring in another three hundred plus thousand, and 207 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 2: it is still happening right now. 208 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: Is the other question I have for you. 209 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, we have no idea because they won't answer 210 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: those questions. They keep them secret from the American people. 211 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: But I got to say, I want to ask everyone 212 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 3: listening to this podcast, ask yourself a question before this 213 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 3: pod did you know about this? And if not, why? 214 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 3: How can you not be pissed that the six o'clock 215 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: News didn't lead with this? How can you not be 216 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: pissed that CNN won't cover this, That the Washington Post 217 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 3: won't cover this, that the New York Times won't cover this, 218 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,760 Speaker 3: that whatever paper you read in whatever city you live 219 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 3: in won't cover this. This is a remarkable thing we're 220 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,559 Speaker 3: looking at. If you assume an average of one hundred 221 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 3: and fifty passengers on a plane, we're looking at over 222 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: two thousand flights chartered by the Biden administration to fly 223 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 3: people into America illegally. That they want this to happen, 224 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 3: That there's no explanation that is consistent with this other 225 00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: than they want this invasion and they want more. And 226 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 3: I got to say, to any reporter, and by the way, 227 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: it's an interesting thing. Quite a few reporters listened to 228 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:11,439 Speaker 3: this podcast. To any reporter, if you're around any Democrat 229 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 3: senator and you actually care about journalism. There's a quiet 230 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 3: little voice somewhere buried deep in your heart that says, gosh, 231 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 3: I wish I could be a real journalist. I wish 232 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 3: I wasn't just a mouthpiece for the regime. You ought 233 00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: to ask every Democrat senator you can find. You ought 234 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 3: to ask every Democrat House member you can find. Did 235 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: you know that the Biden administration flew three hundred and 236 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,839 Speaker 3: twenty thousand illegal immigrants into America last year, that they 237 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: spent taxpayer funds to human traffic people. That's what they're doing. 238 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 3: They're saying, you want to come illegally to America, we 239 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 3: will charter a plane for you. And every reporter I 240 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,880 Speaker 3: ought to ask every Democrat in Congress did you know? 241 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 3: And if you didn't know, how do you feel about that? 242 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: Is that a good idea? Every single Democrat ought to 243 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,679 Speaker 3: go on record saying is it a good idea or not? 244 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 3: Because the Biden administration, by the way, we had a 245 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: State of the Union speech just a few days ago 246 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 3: last week. Amazingly Biden didn't say anything about it. He 247 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 3: could have said, I'm engaged in this great humanitarian rescue, 248 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: so I'm flying three hundred and twenty thousand people illegally 249 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: into this country and just letting him go. He didn't 250 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 3: say that because no one in their right mind would 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 3: admit to that, and that's exactly what they're doing. 252 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: Final question on this is, can you guys get the 253 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 2: number you think in Congress of how much money this 254 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 2: whole plan has cost the American taxpayers, because at the 255 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: bare minimum, we should know what these charter flights cost. 256 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: Or can they continue to refuse to answer that question 257 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: and just say, we're not going to tell you how 258 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: much money we're spending on this. 259 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 3: So we should be able to get those numbers. In 260 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: the Senate, we can ask for them. But when we 261 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: ask for them, the Biden administration's standard practice is basically 262 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 3: to say pound sand that they have a practice across 263 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 3: virtually every agency of refusing to cooperate with Congress. In 264 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: the House, they have the ability not only to ask 265 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 3: for these data, but to issue subpoenas they have a majority. 266 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 3: I can't issue a subpoena in the Senate because I 267 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,960 Speaker 3: don't have a majority. So if I try to issue 268 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 3: a subpoena, the Democrats will vote no. You've got to 269 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 3: have a majority to have the votes to be able 270 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: to issue a subpoena, but the House has the majority, 271 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 3: and so I will say to my friends and colleagues 272 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 3: in the House, I hope they issue those subpoenas. I 273 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: hope they lay out the facts. That is incredibly valuable 274 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 3: and by the way, one of the amazing things. So 275 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 3: the House did the right thing. It impeached Alejandro Majorcas. 276 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: I got to say, I was astonished at the state 277 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: of the union. Mayorcas was sitting there on the floor 278 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: of the House. He was grinning ear to ear. He 279 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: looked happy, he looked confident. He was smirking the whole 280 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 3: time at the American people, saying, I am leading an 281 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: invasion of this country. 282 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: I understand. 283 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: It's not that may Orcis is incompetent, and it's not 284 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: even that he is lazy. It's that he wants this 285 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 3: invasion to happen. Joe Biden wants this invasion to happen, 286 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 3: and every elected Democrat wants this invasion to happen, no. 287 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: Doubt about it. 288 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 2: And it's going to be a campaign issue going into November. 289 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: I think everyone running should make it an issue. On 290 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 2: the Republican side, certainly Donald Trump will, but Americans should 291 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: be furious about this. I want to tell you about 292 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 2: our friends over Blackout Coffee real quick. I'm not kidding 293 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: when I say this.

Give us an update, especially for everybody listening 324 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 2: in Texas, but also others in the country that may 325 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: have family and friends in Texas. What's happening with these 326 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: wildfires and they have really grown well. 327 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 3: The state of Texas is facing a massive natural disaster 328 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 3: right now, and you're right, the news has not been 329 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: covering it the way they should. The Panhandle, which is 330 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 3: the northern part of Texas, is on fire right now, 331 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 3: and the magnitude of these fires there's actually multiple fires. 332 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 3: But collectively, you look at all the fires in the Panhandle, 333 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 3: they comprise over one point two million acres of land. 334 00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 3: That is a massive amount of land that is on 335 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,119 Speaker 3: fire right now. And to put that in perspective, that 336 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: is the largest wildfire in the history of the state 337 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 3: of Texas, and it is the second largest wildfire in 338 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 3: the history of the United States of America. It is 339 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 3: burning right now. How big is one point two million acres. Well, 340 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 3: I'll give you one frame of reference. It is larger 341 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,679 Speaker 3: than the state of Rhode Island. It is bigger than 342 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 3: a state. We have more than an entire state that 343 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 3: is on fire right now. Now. Last week on Monday, 344 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 3: I was up in the Panhandle. I flew up to 345 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 3: go there. I went to the town of Fritch. I 346 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 3: went to the town of Burger. I met with local officials, 347 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 3: with mayors, with county judges, with police chiefs, with fire chiefs. 348 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: I met with volunteers, with volunteers at churches and charities, 349 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 3: and I just said thank you, thank you for your heroism. 350 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: I met with families who had lost everything. The town 351 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 3: of Fritch that I was in, Fretch has a population 352 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: of just about eighteen hundred people in that very small, 353 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: very rural town. They estimated that as of last Monday, 354 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 3: as of a week ago, they had lost two hundred 355 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 3: and forty two homes in a town of eighteen hundred people. 356 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 3: I went and toward the rubble. I saw these homes 357 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,199 Speaker 3: that were burnt to the ground, you know, as I 358 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 3: was walking along residential streets and seeing home after home 359 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 3: just burned, burned to ashes. It was astonishing. I went 360 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 3: to one home that there was a truck parked outside 361 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,120 Speaker 3: that home. The home was entirely burned, The truck was incinerated. 362 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: The windshield had melted into pools of glass. I've never 363 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,439 Speaker 3: seen melted glass of a windshield, and yet that truck 364 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 3: the heat was so intense. There was in front of 365 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,959 Speaker 3: that same house there was a motorcycle looked like a Harley, 366 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 3: and the fire had consumed it. The tires were utterly disintegrated. 367 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 3: You could see the radio steel in the tires. That 368 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,800 Speaker 3: was just all that remained. There was a bass boat 369 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 3: that was parked in the driveway that had been utterly 370 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,439 Speaker 3: consumed with flames, and you just saw melted fiberglass that 371 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 3: had melted down. 372 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 1: So you had the boat. 373 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,679 Speaker 3: Carrier which was still there because it was steel and 374 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 3: the melted fiberglass had just drifted dripped down. And I 375 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 3: got to say, I talked with families who had lost everything, 376 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,120 Speaker 3: and I got to tell you Ben the fighting spirit. 377 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 3: When I talked to people who had lost everything, they said, 378 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,400 Speaker 3: you know what, our families still alive, were grateful, will rebuild. 379 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 2: It's incredible. What is it that they need? And how 380 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 2: can people help it. Every time that something like this happens, 381 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 2: you see the people not just in Texas help their 382 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: fellow Texans, but other people, and especially I got to 383 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: say our audience, you guys are amazing. Y'all get involved, 384 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 2: whether it's helping people in Israel or people in Texas 385 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: right now. 386 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: But what are the needs and what can people do well? 387 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: Right now? 388 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 3: The most immediate need is saving people's lives. This disaster 389 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: is unfolding right now. We had several days ago we 390 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 3: had some cold weather. We had some snow and ice 391 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 3: that helped. Snow and ice is very good for slowing 392 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:40,639 Speaker 3: down the spread of a fire. But unfortunately then the 393 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: weather got warmer and windier and that accelerated. 394 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: The spread of the fire. 395 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 3: There are firefighters who are fighting this fire right now, 396 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,159 Speaker 3: and they are risking their lives. When I was up 397 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 3: there in the Panhandle, they had over sixty different fire 398 00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 3: departments from all around Texas and from all around the 399 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: country who had sent firefighters. And I got to tell 400 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 3: you I met with the fire chief volunteer fire chief 401 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 3: in Fritch, little bitty town. His name was Zeb Smith, 402 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 3: and I met with him on Monday a week ago. 403 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 3: And Zeb is a great guy. He was fighting on 404 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 3: the ground, he was defending his city. I asked him 405 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 3: at the time, I said, listen, have any firefighters been injured? 406 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 3: And he said, thank God no. That was on Monday 407 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 3: of last week. Chief Smith died on. 408 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Tuesday of last week. 409 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: Wow, less than twenty four hours after I stood with 410 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,120 Speaker 3: him and asked, have any firefighters been injured? Chief Smith 411 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,679 Speaker 3: ran the next day, on Tuesday of last week, he 412 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 3: ran into a burning home to fight the fire, and 413 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,240 Speaker 3: he ended up being killed, giving his life in defense 414 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 3: of his community. So last week I stood on the 415 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: Senate floor, I gave a speech in honor of all 416 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 3: the people who have lost incredibly and in particular in 417 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: honor of Chief Smith. I got to say, I don't 418 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 3: think I've ever been with someone spoken with someone the 419 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 3: day before they lost their life heroically. That that that 420 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 3: is a first for me. And so I gave a 421 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 3: speech with a picture of Chief Smith next to me. 422 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 3: I had a flag flown over the over the US 423 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 3: capital in Chief Smith's honor. The first priority is stopping 424 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,240 Speaker 3: these fires. And I will say if you're if you're 425 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 3: a listener of Verdict and you're in the Panhandle, or 426 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 3: you're in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, because it's spread into 427 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,959 Speaker 3: Oklahoma as well, what I would say is listen to 428 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 3: your local officials, listen to emergency responders, and if they 429 00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: give you an evacuation order, get out. Take this seriously. 430 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 3: Do not risk your family, do not risk your children, 431 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: do not risk your loved ones. In many ways, it 432 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 3: is miraculous with a fire as massive as this one, 433 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: that to date there have been just three people who 434 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: were killed. Now we grieve those three, but it would 435 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 3: have been very very easy to imagine dozens or even 436 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: hundreds of people killed. Yet two hundred and forty two 437 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: houses burned to the ground, and miraculously the residents of 438 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 3: those houses, most of them survived and escaped. And it 439 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 3: was interesting when I was talking to the local officials 440 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 3: I said, well, what's happened to the residents of all 441 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,240 Speaker 3: those homes? And the county judge told me said, listen, 442 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 3: we stood up a shelter in a local church. She said, 443 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 3: at this point, we have fewer than a half dozen 444 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 3: people there. That everyone who lived in those two hundred 445 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: and forty two houses, almost all of them are with 446 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,400 Speaker 3: friends and family. And what you said Ben a minute 447 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 3: ago is really important to know, which is Look, Texas 448 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 3: is a big state. It's a big state. I've been 449 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,320 Speaker 3: senator for twelve years. Part of the job is being 450 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 3: on the ground when you see Texans hurting, when you 451 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 3: see a natural disaster, I've seen a lot of them. 452 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 3: I've seen hurricanes, I've seen tornadoes, I've seen explosions. I've 453 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 3: seen fires like this fire one hundred percent of the time, 454 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 3: without fail, when there's a disaster, when people are suffering, 455 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: when they're hurting, it is also incredibly inspirational. I am 456 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: never more proud to be a Texan than when we 457 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 3: are facing a disaster and I see the courage that 458 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 3: Texans show. Inevitably, Texans step up and they help their 459 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 3: fellow Texans. And by the way, you know what Hurricane 460 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 3: Harvey happened, which is the second most costly natural disaster 461 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: in US history. When that happened, in large chunks of 462 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,280 Speaker 3: the Gulf Coast were underwater. My hometown, your town that 463 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 3: you live in, Houston, much of Houston was underwater. And 464 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 3: you had thousands of people that jumped in boats, bass 465 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: boats and went and rescued their neighbors. And they went 466 00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 3: into their homes because there was five six, seven, eight 467 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 3: ten feet of water covering the roads and they just 468 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 3: get in their boat, they go pull people out of 469 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: harms way, they'd rescue them. And it was it was 470 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 3: rednecks and bass boats. It was incredible. And by the way, 471 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 3: when they rescued someone, nobody asked what party are you? 472 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: Are you a Republican or Democrat? Nobody asked your race, 473 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 3: nobody asked your ethnicity, nobody asked your religion. It was 474 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:54,159 Speaker 3: just Texans helping Texans. And that I saw that in 475 00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: the Panhandle on Monday last week, that in the face 476 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 3: of tragedy, people are stepping forward. You ask how can 477 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 3: you help? The Red Crosses on the ground, the Salvation 478 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,600 Speaker 3: Army is on the ground, churches and charities are helping. 479 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: I went and thanked lots of volunteers who were just 480 00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 3: providing food and diapers and clothing, and just to people 481 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 3: who lost everything. 482 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,160 Speaker 2: Get involved, that's the number one thing, and help however 483 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: you can. And the tragedy there, as you mentioned, with 484 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: the men and women that are risking their lives to 485 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: fight this fire and save their neighbor and their family 486 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: and their friends' homes, it's truly incredible. And I hope 487 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,919 Speaker 2: they get this fire under control, and I hope that 488 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 2: there's lots of rain for this area that can help 489 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 2: them make these fires not spread so quickly. 490 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: There will keep you. 491 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,080 Speaker 2: Updated on it, but I know that's an important update 492 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 2: that we need to have, especially for the people in Texas. 493 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 2: Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Santa. 494 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: I want to also hold on before we finish this, 495 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 3: I want to tell you like a personal aspect of this. 496 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 4: So. 497 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 3: I have a good friend of mine who lives up 498 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: in the Panhandle town in the Panhandle called Canadian, and 499 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 3: I shot her a text on Monday and it was 500 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 3: just I just said, hey, how are you doing? Was 501 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,719 Speaker 3: your home affected by the fires? And I set them 502 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 3: up in the Panhandle today and I'm thinking about you 503 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 3: and praying for you and I had no idea that 504 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 3: she had experienced anything. Here was her response, She said, 505 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 3: thanks reassuring to hear from you. Lost my home and 506 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 3: barns and half my cows, like fifty of my closest friends. 507 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 3: My losses are on the low end compared to the 508 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 3: thousands and thousands of animals dead and injured among just 509 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,920 Speaker 3: two to three ranches here. Love to you and yours. 510 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 3: Pray for rain, Pray for the cows and the ranchers 511 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 3: who loved them. So think about this. She's sitting there. 512 00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 3: I didn't know that she was in harm's way. She 513 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: lost her home, she lost her barn, she lost half 514 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 3: of her cattle. And her reaction is she feels grateful 515 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: because the ranchers on either side of her lost all 516 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 3: of their cattle. And that you want to talk about 517 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 3: the frontier spirit of the Panhandle of tough and hearty 518 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 3: Texans that embodies it. And by the way, she followed 519 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 3: up with me and and and said today she said, 520 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 3: here's two bright spots in my life. A new baby 521 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 3: cow Phoenix or fife for short. We're feeding because mama 522 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 3: cow cannot because of burned utters. So understand, these are 523 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 3: ranchers raising cattle, and and there's mama cow. Her utters 524 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 3: are burned. She can't feed the calf, and so they're 525 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 3: feeding the baby cow, but they're celebrating. And then my 526 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:02,480 Speaker 3: friend also said, and there's some old spurs she found 527 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 3: in her house, the house that had burned down, that 528 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: my great grandfather gave to my dad when he was 529 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 3: seven years old. My sister and I both wore them 530 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 3: till we figured out the story in the age. I mean, 531 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 3: how amazing that she sent me pictures both of this 532 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 3: this baby calf and of these spurs. The house had 533 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: burned down, but the spurs survived. And I got to say, look, 534 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 3: that's the spirit of Texans and it is inspiring. 535 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,320 Speaker 2: Unbelievable story there, Senator. And like I said earlier, anyone 536 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 2: that can help help the people in Texas right now, 537 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 2: it's so vitally important those affected by these wildfires, with 538 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 2: all the groups that are on the ground there.

And this is a present 587 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,640 Speaker 2: that's basically saying, oh yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna take 588 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 2: my hand off of Israel. 589 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 3: So the quote if he had a hard time hearing it, 590 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,160 Speaker 3: but the hot mic picked it up. He said, quote, 591 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:53,759 Speaker 3: I told him, Bibie, and don't repeat this, but you 592 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 3: and I are going to have a come to Jesus meeting. 593 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,520 Speaker 3: And so he's bragging to a fellow Democrat about how 594 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,120 Speaker 3: he was threatening the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin N. 595 00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:12,880 Speaker 3: Yaho's nickname is Bibie. But number one, let me just say, look, 596 00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 3: you and I are both Southern Baptists. We both believe 597 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 3: Jesus is our savior. But I gotta say just saying 598 00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,680 Speaker 3: to the Jewish Prime Minister of Israel, We're going to 599 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,880 Speaker 3: have a come to Jesus meeting as a way to 600 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:29,680 Speaker 3: like beat the hell out of him. If a Republican 601 00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 3: had said that, the media would lose their minds. 602 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like they're insensitive on so many different levels. 603 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:41,239 Speaker 3: That there is an offensive condescension. And understand what he 604 00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,840 Speaker 3: means the come to Jesus meeting. What he means is 605 00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:51,200 Speaker 3: you stupid ISRAELI stop killing Hamas terrorists. That's what he's saying. 606 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:56,840 Speaker 3: We're going to force you. As a response, to October seventh, 607 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:03,319 Speaker 3: to allow the Hamas terrorists to murdered twelve hundred Israelis, 608 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 3: twelve hundred Jews who kidnapped Americans, who murdered Americans. We're 609 00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,759 Speaker 3: going to force you to allow them to create their 610 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: own state where they can engage in acts of terror 611 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 3: like this, over and over and over again. It is 612 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:23,960 Speaker 3: the anti israel animus in this administration and in sadly 613 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,200 Speaker 3: today's Democrat Party. I've never seen anything like it. It 614 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 3: keeps getting worse, and this shows this is how Biden 615 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 3: talks behind closed doors. I'm gonna beat up these damned 616 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,240 Speaker 3: Israelis like that. That's just terrific. 617 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 2: Well, and it's shocking, but it's also goes hand in 618 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 2: hand with him basically pandering to the extreme laugh that 619 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 2: is all about Hamas and supporting the terrorists, and the 620 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:56,960 Speaker 2: Palestinian protesters that are supporting these terrorists who butchered children, 621 00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:01,879 Speaker 2: who took hostage eighty year old women, grandmothers, and and 622 00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 2: put babies in ovens to burn them for sport. You 623 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 2: also have a president during the State of the Union 624 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 2: to appease them, said hey, We're going to order the 625 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:16,920 Speaker 2: US military to construct a port in Gaza to increase 626 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 2: the aid flowed flow there. 627 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 3: He actively By the way, by the way, you know 628 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,799 Speaker 3: words that Joe Biden didn't say. He didn't say, we 629 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 3: will utterly and completely destroy Hamas. He didn't say, as 630 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 3: Israel defends itself, we have your back, we are with 631 00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:39,000 Speaker 3: you. You are right, we must destroy hamas we stand together. 632 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 3: That's what a real American president would say. That's what 633 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 3: an American president defending America, defending our allies, would say. 634 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 3: But instead today's Democrat Party, the cultural Marxist, the radical leftists, 635 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 3: if they see a battle between Jews and Palestinians, they 636 00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 3: define Jews the oppressors. They define Palestinians as the victims. 637 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 3: And any cultural Marxist he supports the violent revolution of 638 00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:13,840 Speaker 3: the victims against the oppressors. And so the consequence, what 639 00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:17,799 Speaker 3: is Joe Biden bragging about when he thinks he's in private, Well, 640 00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 3: we just got this hot mic here. He's bragging that 641 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 3: he's he's berating the Prime Minister of Israel. And mind you, 642 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 3: at a time when the prime minister is defending his 643 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:34,960 Speaker 3: nation at war after a massive attack, the worst mass 644 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,440 Speaker 3: murder murder of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust, 645 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 3: and what is Biden doing attacking Israel. 646 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: Well and building this peer. The question I have for 647 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,359 Speaker 2: you is does this put American troops in harm's way? 648 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:54,200 Speaker 2: Because that's the question that everybody should be asking this president. 649 00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 2: Let's be clear, about one hundred and eighty six American 650 00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 2: troops have been injured or killed in attacks on you 651 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 2: US personnel in the Middle East since mid October when 652 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:08,680 Speaker 2: the attack by the Hamas terrace happened on Israel. And 653 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 2: of those, one hundred and thirty have been traumatic brain injuries. Yet, 654 00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 2: and that's been confirmed by the Pentagon this week on Monday. 655 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: Yet you have a present that acts like building this 656 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:20,680 Speaker 2: pier is no big deal at all. 657 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,080 Speaker 3: Well, look, I think that's right. And the thing to 658 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,799 Speaker 3: understand is is today's Democrat Party listen. Biden has an 659 00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,760 Speaker 3: open revolt within his State Department, within his White House 660 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 3: because Today's Democrat Party, particularly the young people, they are 661 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 3: active sympathizers of Hamas. Mind you, the Biden administration has 662 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,200 Speaker 3: given hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza that went 663 00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 3: straight to Hamas.
