First up, 17 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: it is a reverse Uno card as the app that 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: used to let you just run into America the Biden 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 2: administration use is now a self depor app. 20 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: I'll give you those. 21 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: Details in a moment. Also, the Biden administration did nothing 22 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 2: to stop the anti Semitic protests on college campuses. Well, 23 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 2: now some of those students are being arrested. We'll have 24 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: the difference Maker and what's happening in the White House 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 2: behind this. And finally, Elon Musk and Dooje have uncovered 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 2: unbelievable amounts of loans going to children, young children during 27 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: the pandemic. It's the weekend Review and it starts right now. 28 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: Let's deal with a really fun story and it deals 29 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 2: with an APPU it is. 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 1: I call it the reverse UNO card. 31 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: You remember that app that allowed for accountless people to 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: come into this country and just walk in knowing they 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 2: were here illegally, and it was an app that was 34 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: exploited by the Biden Harris administration. Well, we got a 35 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 2: reverse UNO card now, center because we've got a new 36 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 2: app and it does actually the exact opposite of that, 37 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 2: which is you can hurry up and self deport yourself. 38 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 3: Oh it's beautiful. So the Biden administration launch launched app 39 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 3: called the CBB one app. And here's what Bill Lugan, 40 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 3: who's the best reporter on immigration for Fox News, here's 41 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 3: what he reported, quote scoop, the Trump admin has repurposed 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 3: the controversial Biden era CBB one cell phone app into 43 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: a self deportationed app. Called CBBB Home that launches today. 44 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 3: DHS tells me any migrants who had prior CBBB one 45 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: app will have it auto update to this new app, 46 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,200 Speaker 3: and DHS can use data from prior CBB one registrations 47 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 3: to track migrants for removal. The new app allows illegal 48 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 3: aliens and migrants in the US to register with CBP 49 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: to self deport. They fill out biographical information including their 50 00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: countries of citizenship, which country they plan to return to, 51 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 3: their alien registration numbers, contact information, and it allows them 52 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 3: to upload photos of themselves to confirm their identity. All 53 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 3: of it then is submitted to cbb as they leave 54 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 3: the country. You may ask yourself, why would an illegal 55 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 3: alien want to self deport? In a statement to Fox News, 56 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 3: DHS Secretary Christy Nome answered that the question quote. The 57 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 3: cbb Home app gives aliens the option to leave now 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: and self deport so they may still have the opportunity 59 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: to return legally in the future and live the American dream. 60 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 3: If they don't, we will find them, we will deport them, 61 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 3: and they will never return. Nome said. The Biden administration 62 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 3: exploited the CBB one app to allow more than one 63 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: million aliens to enter the United States. With the launching 64 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: of CBB Home app, we are restoring integrity to our 65 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 3: immigration system. 66 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 2: This may be one of the simplest yet biggest turn 67 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: of events for a win on law and order in 68 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: our southern border dealing with the issue of immigration. I 69 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 2: just got to say well done to the Trump administration 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: on this one. And they keep paying off on their 71 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: promises to the American people. 72 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 3: So Ben I got to say, I don't know if 73 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 3: this is going to work or not, but I got 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 3: to say, if you're an illegal immigrant, you came to 75 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 3: this country, you went to a human trafficker, you were 76 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: coming from, say Central America. You came up through Mexico, 77 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: and the Biden administration said, hey, we've got an app. 78 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 3: Fill out your information. You can come here and we'll 79 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: let you in. And you filled it out. You came 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 3: to America and suddenly over your cell phone you get 81 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,839 Speaker 3: oh crap, wait, they want me to go home. And 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: if I don't go home, they're going to find me. 83 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 3: They're going to arrest me. They're going to send me home, 84 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 3: and the consequences are I can never come back. I 85 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 3: don't know how many people are going to respond to 86 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 3: this but I think this is fabulous. Listen. My view 87 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,799 Speaker 3: on immigration is simple. I have some up my immigration 88 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: view in four words, many times legal good, illegal, bad. 89 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: For the people who are here illegally, the Trump administration 90 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: is leaning in saying we're going to secure the border, 91 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 3: we're going to remove you. And by the way, going 92 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 3: back to our first story, if you were a pro 93 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: Hamas radical and anti Semite protester and you're not a 94 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: US citizen, bye bye, You're going to be deported. You're 95 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 3: going to be expelled. You're going to be thrown out 96 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: of this country. That is a view that makes an 97 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,599 Speaker 3: enormous amount of sense to me. And we will see. 98 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: And by the way, if we get the data on 99 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 3: how many people have used this app, we'll report on 100 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 3: this data on this podcast. But the simple act of saying, 101 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: all right, the prior administration opened up our borders and 102 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: let you in, we're now enforcing them, I say, bravo, bravo, bravo. 103 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, 104 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast 105 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. And 106 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 2: this is something that you guys have also been focused 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 2: on on Capitol Hill when it comes to calling out 108 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: the Biden administration for doing nothing about the anti Semitic 109 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: protests that took place on our college campuses. And part 110 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: of this is you gotta have a spotlight on it. 111 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 3: Yep. So this past week the Senate Judiciary Committee had 112 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 3: a hearing on anti semitism. Now, you might think given 113 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 3: the massive rise in anti Semitism, particularly following October seventh, 114 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 3: given the acts of violence against Jews across America, you 115 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 3: might think the Senate Judiciary Committee would be looking at this. 116 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 3: Do you know how many hearings we had on anti semitism? 117 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 3: When the Democrats at the gabble. 118 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to go out and a lemon say zero. 119 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 3: Wow, you got it precisely right to the one hundred 120 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 3: decimal point that would be zero point zero zero zero. 121 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 3: They do not listen at all. 122 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: If you listen every day, I don't get these trick 123 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 1: questions right. 124 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 3: So even a blind squirrel not a one. So a 125 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 3: month into the new Congress, Republicans have the majority. We 126 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,480 Speaker 3: held a hearing this past week on anti semitism. The 127 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 3: Democrats were terrified. They didn't want to talk about it. 128 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 3: But I took the opportunity to listen. I got to 129 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: say this issue pisces me off what we've seen happen 130 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 3: to our schools, and so I want you to listen 131 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 3: to my questioning of the witnesses and what I had 132 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: to say last week at the hearing on anti Semitism. 133 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 3: Give a listen. Anti Semitism is evil, It is wrong, 134 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 3: and it is flourishing with the acquiescence and in many 135 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 3: cases active participation of student of students, of faculty, of administrators, 136 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 3: and government officials. And sadly, the Democrat Party has a 137 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: deep and pervasive problem confronting this evil. For the last 138 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 3: two years, in the wake of October seventh, this committee 139 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 3: held zero hearings on anti semitism in the United States, 140 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: despite the fact that Republicans repeatedly called for it the 141 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 3: acts of violence. Prior to October seventh, two thousand, six 142 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty nine anti sentemitic incidents occurred in the 143 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 3: United States. Following October seventh, in less than three months, 144 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: that number spiked over five thousand. In twenty twenty four, 145 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 3: that number skyrocketed to ten thousand and five anti Semitic incidents. 146 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 3: This problem is particularly acute on our college campuses Columbia University. 147 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: Columbia University was a major epicenter where they encouraged, tolerated, 148 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: and celebrated this vicious and vile anti Semitism. Rabbi Eli 149 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: Buehler emailed every Jewish student on campus and said, quote, 150 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 3: the events of the last few days have made it 151 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 3: clear that Columbia University's public safety cannot guarantee Jewish student 152 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: safety in the face of extreme anti Semitism and anarchy. 153 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: I would strongly recommend you return home. This is the 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: rabbi at the university saying your school will not protect 155 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: your safety, and Colombia didn't do a damn thing about it. No, 156 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 3: you what, the rabbi wasn't crazy. Here is one picture 157 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 3: taken on the campus of Columbia. In the back are 158 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: Jewish students waving American flags and Israeli flags. In the 159 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 3: front is a Columbia student wearing a mask because these 160 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 3: cowards are oh so brave, they cover their faces holding 161 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 3: a handwritten sign that says al Cassam's next targets al 162 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: Casam is the military branch of Hamas understand what this 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: student is saying. She is calling for the murder of 164 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: her Jewish classmates. And by the way, this student, the 165 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 3: internet being what it is, she's been identified now on 166 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,319 Speaker 3: the Internet. This is not a Palestinian who's subject to oppression. 167 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: This is a rich, blonde girl from Atlanta whose parents 168 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 3: are multimillionaire real estate developers. And they got so proud. 169 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 3: I'm sending my child to an Ivy League education where 170 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: she'll be indoctrinated to dress up and advocate Hamas murdering 171 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 3: Jewish students because they are Jews. Now, if you agree 172 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: that is evil and vile, let me ask you something. 173 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: We're the Democrats. Not a one is here, and it's 174 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: because the Democrat Party has decided the pro Hamas wing 175 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 3: of the party is more important than protecting Jewish students 176 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 3: in America. And if you don't believe me, maybe you'll 177 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: believe Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer, texting with Columbia, said the 178 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 3: following On January fourth, then President of Columbia's Shaffik explained 179 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: to Shipman and her fellow co chair David Greenwald that 180 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: she had met with majority leader Chuck Schumer, who advised 181 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 3: Shafik that university's political problems about anti Semitism are really 182 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: only among Republicans. We the Democrats, we don't care about 183 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 3: this anti semitism stuff. Ms Lewin, am I the only 184 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: person that has noticed that these anti Israel, Prohomas antisemitic protests, 185 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 3: that the tents all match. 186 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 4: No, you are not the only one to have noticed. 187 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: Is it clear that there is significant money funding these 188 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: attacks on Jewish students and attacks on America. 189 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: It is clear that there is coordination and there must 190 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 4: be some common funding. 191 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 3: In the last two years under the Biden Justice Department. 192 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: Are you aware of any investigation to follow the money 193 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 3: behind these protests? 194 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 4: I am not. 195 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 3: Are you aware of anyone who has been indicted for 196 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 3: funding these protests? 197 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 4: I am not. 198 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,079 Speaker 3: Are you aware of any university that has had their 199 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,920 Speaker 3: Title six federal funds cut off because they've tolerated welcome, 200 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: celebrated in the center, Holly put Out, had their own 201 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 3: officials cheering on anti semitism. Has even one university lost 202 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 3: their funding? 203 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: I am not aware of any university having actually lost 204 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 4: their fund And. 205 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: I'll point out also some of the defenders say free speech, 206 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 3: free speech. You're right, you have a free speech writer 207 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 3: as an American citizen to say vile, hateful, bigoted things. 208 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. If a university student went 209 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 3: into the public square dressed up in a clan outfit, 210 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: burned across and said we should murder African American students, 211 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: do you have any doubt the university would expel that student. 212 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 4: I'm secarely certain that the universities would take action and 213 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:15,199 Speaker 4: ensure that they're politic. 214 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: They should expel them. If they're foreign students, they should 215 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: be deported. And mark my words, if you were horrified 216 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 3: at the anti semitism, you will see the Trump Department 217 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 3: of Justice. Follow the money, prosecute the people who are 218 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 3: paying for this, Prosecute those engaged in violence, and cut 219 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 3: off the money from universities that are tolerating and celebrating this. 220 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 3: That is the rule of law. And ask yourself, why 221 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 3: did the Biden Justice Department do absolutely nothing about this 222 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 3: horror that is unfolding Center. 223 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,839 Speaker 2: It was unbelievable to hear you call it out, and 224 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 2: I do think we just have to remind people this 225 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 2: is systematic on our college campuses, especially the IVY leagues. 226 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: I go back in my head to Harvard and just 227 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 2: defiance of some of these individuals when they were testifying 228 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 2: before Congress. They had no problem standing with these anti 229 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 2: Semitic protesters. 230 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 3: Look, because they believe the same things the administrators. They 231 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 3: have been teaching the same poison. The faculty has been 232 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 3: teaching the same poison. And I'll note that clip you 233 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 3: played while I was questioning at the hearing of anti semitism, 234 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 3: as I noted, not a single Democrat senator was in 235 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 3: the room. The hearing room was empty, and that really 236 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 3: spoke volumes that they don't want to talk about this. 237 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,320 Speaker 3: And the problem is a political problem in today's Democrat Party. 238 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 3: There is a real and meaningful pro Hamas wing of 239 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, and the Democrats are terrified of that 240 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,439 Speaker 3: pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party. The question I've 241 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 3: asked repeatedly, and look, most of the people who listen 242 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 3: to Verdict are I think politically right of center, are 243 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 3: conservative or libertarians. But we actually have fair number of 244 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: reporters to listen to Verdick, And you know, I'm hoping 245 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:08,400 Speaker 3: we have a handful of open minded, free thinking liberals, 246 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 3: people who consider themselves left of center, but recognize that 247 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 3: if you want to actually have an intelligent understanding of 248 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 3: the issues, then you want to hear from a wide 249 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: spectrum of views and try to process and ascertain what 250 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 3: is right. If you at home are one of those. 251 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 3: Let's say you're a Democrat who lives in New York City. 252 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: Let's say you voted for Kamala Harris, you voted for 253 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. Maybe you voted for Barack Obama. If you 254 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 3: disagree with the Prohamas wing of the Democrat Party, if 255 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: you don't like the viole anti Semites that have flourished 256 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 3: on college campuses and that have threatened the safety of 257 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 3: Jewish students, you ought to ask yourself very seriously, what 258 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 3: happened in the last week. Columbia got its money cut off. 259 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 3: A one of the organizers of the protests is going 260 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 3: to be deported. Why didn't any of that happen under 261 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. There was nothing to prevent the Biden administration 262 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 3: from doing this. They had every bit of legal authority. 263 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: As far as I can tell, they didn't even investigate it. 264 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 3: They didn't ask where the money came from. I certainly 265 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 3: asked the Attorney General in the FBI repeatedly if they 266 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 3: were doing that, if they were investigating it. They refused 267 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: to tell the Senate. They refused to tell me. And 268 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 3: we do know that no one paid any consequences for 269 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 3: it because no one was indicted, and that ends up 270 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 3: encouraging more of this. And you have to ask yourself, 271 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 3: was that an accident or was there a reason? Listen, 272 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 3: if Kamala Harris, god forbid, had been elected president November, Ben, 273 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: let me ask you this, what do you think of 274 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: the odds Columbia would have had that four hundred million 275 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 3: cut off if Kamala Harris were president? 276 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:45,440 Speaker 4: No? 277 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: Zero percent? 278 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: And I bet you the airplay Semitism would explode on 279 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 2: college chemises because would not have any worries at trunction. 280 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 3: She might be marching with the Prohamas protesters. And by 281 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 3: the way, this organizer who's being deported the odds of 282 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: his being deported of Oma we're president are zero. Elections 283 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: have consequences, and this issue, this issue matters. 284 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: So center, let's take people back in time to a 285 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 2: campaign promise from the President. He made it clear that 286 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: if you were one of these students that is from 287 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: overseas has gotten a special special invitation, the ability to 288 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: come and study in America, and you are on campuses 289 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 2: and you're you know, act actually going out there and 290 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 2: advocating for violence and taking over buildings on college campuses. 291 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 2: We're going to kick you out of this country. Well 292 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: guess what, there was one radical on a college campus. 293 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: This is exactly what happened. Is Ice detained and they said, look, 294 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 2: we're going to revoke your green card. And now Democrats 295 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: are protesting the arrest of the Syrian radical in New York. 296 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is astonishing. And let's look at what 297 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: happened in the United States following October seventh. Following October seventh, 298 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 3: we saw protests on college campuses across this country, predominantly 299 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 3: in left wing college campuses in blue states, where radical 300 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 3: pro Hamas protesters stood up and they denounced Israel. They 301 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: chanted things like we love Hamas, we are Hamas. They 302 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 3: threatened Jewish students, they engaged in acts of violence, and 303 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 3: they threatened even more acts of violence, and astonishingly been 304 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: the Democrats were silent. You know, there's some folks who said, 305 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 3: in the wake of these protests, well, gosh, it's terrible, 306 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 3: but they're happening all over the country. That's not right. 307 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 3: They were only happening in blue states with blue elected officials. 308 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 3: They happened in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, 309 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 3: Washington State. They didn't happen to Florida. They didn't happen 310 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: in Texas. Actually, in Texas, we briefly had protesters at 311 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,840 Speaker 3: the University of Texas and official sent in police officers 312 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: that arrested them all and it was done within a day. 313 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: The places that had happened, it happened because the university 314 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 3: administrators agreed with the protesters and the elected officials. They 315 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: had been indoctrinated in the leftist ideology that said Israel 316 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 3: is the bad guy and Hamas is the good guy. Now, 317 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 3: one of the things you and I have talked about 318 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: at length. And by the way, if you did not 319 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 3: listen to Monday's podcast you should listen to Monday's podcasts 320 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 3: because we did a deep dive on the Trump administration 321 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: rightly cutting off four hundred million dollars of grants to 322 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: Columbia University. Colombia was probably the single worst actor in 323 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 3: all of these universities in terms of tolerating and celebrating 324 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 3: these anti Israel, anti Jewish protests, but not only that, 325 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 3: arresting a pro Hamas protester and let me be clear, 326 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 3: this is the first of many. I believe we will 327 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: see many more of the pro Hamas protesters are rested 328 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 3: and deported. And what I've said from the beginning, if 329 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 3: you are threatening other students, if you are attacking America, 330 00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: if you are embracing terrorists, and you're a foreign student, 331 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 3: you should be expelled and you should be deported. And 332 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 3: what happened Mahmoud Khalil, who is from Syria, he came 333 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,679 Speaker 3: to the United States. My understanding is in two thousand 334 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 3: and twenty two.

The loans were issued 380 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,719 Speaker 3: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and it is 381 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: unclear what they were used for. 382 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 4: Quote. 383 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,199 Speaker 3: While it is possible to have business arrangements where this 384 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 3: is legal, five hundred and ninety three loans, as they 385 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 3: all also used a social Security number with the incorrect name. 386 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 3: DOGE and the SBA government are working together to solve 387 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 3: this problem. This week. While making the announcement, Does shared 388 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 3: a post on x from Tuesday where it also revealed 389 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 3: that in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, the SBA 390 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: issued three thousand, ninety five loans for three hundred and 391 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,199 Speaker 3: thirty three million dollars to borrows over one hundred and 392 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 3: fifteen years old. The borrowers were still marked as alive 393 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 3: in the Social Security database. In one case, a one 394 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven year old individual received thirty six 395 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: thousand dollars in loans. The agency said, Look, this is 396 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 3: I feel very confident that nobody is one hundred and 397 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: fifty seven years old. And if they are and they're 398 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: getting thirty six thousand dollars, that is fraud. 399 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: It's fraud. And we all know this. And look, this 400 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 2: goes back to what President Trump said is addressed to 401 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 2: Congress on Tuesday, when he talked about he said there 402 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 2: was millions of people aged over one hundred that were 403 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 2: listed on so Security databases, with one being as old 404 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 2: at three hundred and sixty years of age. And I 405 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: go back to Trump's quote there, I know some people. 406 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: Who are ready. 407 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: I want to know, is that guy the vattireless statt 408 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:52,199 Speaker 3: is he like literally an age ageless vampire who like 409 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 3: flies with the bats. 410 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly. 411 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: And this goes back to Elon Musk and a job 412 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: that he's doing that I got his say rarely in 413 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 2: my life. 414 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: I thought there's a job that only one guy could do. Well. 415 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: It seems to be dojen Elon Musk because finding this 416 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: type of waste fraud abuse is exactly what Donald Trump promised, 417 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 2: and they're paying off on it. But every American that 418 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 2: pays taxes should be enraged by the fact that we're 419 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 2: giving this much money to people that are children, or 420 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 2: this much money to someone that's as old as three 421 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty years of age. 422 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: To be clear, if you're giving millions of dollars to 423 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: a five year old, you're not that is an adult 424 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,919 Speaker 3: engaged in theft. If you're giving millions of dollars to 425 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,919 Speaker 3: someone who's one hundred and fifty years old, you're not. 426 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 3: That is an adult engaged in theft. What this report 427 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 3: indicates is that the Biden administration didn't give a damn 428 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 3: about whether the money was actually going to real people 429 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 3: who had real needs, who were engaged in the purposes 430 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 3: for which Congress appropriated the money in. Instead, they were 431 00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:05,200 Speaker 3: just shoveling money out the door and tragically, the fraud 432 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 3: was rampant. In many instances, the fraud was going to 433 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,600 Speaker 3: radical left wing Democrat groups because the Biden administration believed 434 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 3: in paying off their buddies. In other cases, they're just lazy. 435 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,159 Speaker 3: They don't care. When a six year old puts in 436 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,679 Speaker 3: an application for government money, the answer should be no, 437 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 3: because you're six and you ought to be playing with 438 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: blocks in kindergarten and not trying to get millions of 439 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 3: dollars from the government. But if you're a corrupt Democrat, 440 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 3: you give the millions of dollars and let the parents 441 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 3: use it for the political purposes they want. 442 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,280 Speaker 2: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Center 443 00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,719 Speaker 2: Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to dial 444 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 2: with my podcast, and you can listen to my podcast 445 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 2: every other day you're not listening to Verdict or each 446 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 2: day when you listen to Verdict afterwards, I'd love to 447 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 2: have you as a listener to again Ben Ferguson Podcasts, 448 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 2: and we will see you back here on Monday morning.
