Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with
Speaker 2: you and Senator We've got a lot to talk about,
Speaker 2: including the economy, a major weird policy shift almost from
Speaker 2: the Biden administration dealing with Israel, and also some interesting
Speaker 2: news on the Biden crime family, plus a dust up
Speaker 2: with Ben and Jerry's ice cream that totally backfired on them.
Speaker 2: But first, Senator, let's talk about the economy right now.
Speaker 2: The White House was trying to get people to believe
Speaker 2: that things are actually going really well, but they've lost.
Speaker 2: Even NBC News on Meet the Press, here's what they
Speaker 2: said about the new poll numbers.
Speaker 3: The American public is not feeling it. Just thirty four
Speaker 3: percent of Americans approved of Biden's handling of the economy
Speaker 3: in a recent AP poll that was released at the
Speaker 3: end of June, and only twenty percent of voters believe
Speaker 3: the nation is on the right track. Though voters have
Speaker 3: not felt good about the direction of the country for
Speaker 3: over a decade, and Biden is trying to persuade voters
Speaker 3: that the economy is better than they think.
Speaker 1: It is better than they think it is.
Speaker 2: Another way to put those poll numbers center would be
Speaker 2: sixty four percent of Americans disapprove of Biden's handling of
Speaker 2: the economy. They're obviously trying to flip it and play
Speaker 2: the numbers game. This is terrible news, and yet the
Speaker 2: White House seems to not even care.
Speaker 4: Well. The White House is playing politics, and sadly they're
Speaker 4: doing a bad job of it. They are trying to
Speaker 4: convince the American people the economy is much better than
Speaker 4: you think it is. Things are not as crappy as
Speaker 4: they feel like they are. To you when you go
Speaker 4: to the grocery store and your bills are much much higher.
Speaker 4: When you pay your bills each month, and your electricity
Speaker 4: bill is much much higher, your healthcare bill is much
Speaker 4: much higher. When you go to the gas pump and
Speaker 4: you fill up your car truck and the bill is
Speaker 4: much much higher. Don't worry about that. Things are really great?
Speaker 4: Why because we say they are. And boy, it's pretty
Speaker 4: amazing that even Chuck Todd is not buying that. The
Speaker 4: White House put out this whole barrage of public relation.
Speaker 4: They're trying to brand Bidenomics. I gotta say that's pretty dumb.
Speaker 4: They're gonna regret branding Bidenomics because they're going to own Bidenomics.
Speaker 4: You know, Jimmy Carteromics was not a good thing, and
Speaker 4: Bidenomics is worse than Jimmy Carternomics. So here's one of
Speaker 4: the claims of the White House quote. Bidenomics is rooted
Speaker 4: in the simple idea that we need to grow the
Speaker 4: economy from the middle out and the bottom up, not
Speaker 4: the top down. An economy where we build more in America,
Speaker 4: empower and invest American workers, and promote competition to lower
Speaker 4: costs for working families. Now set aside for the minute,
Speaker 4: the language that is so focus grouped and poll tested.
Speaker 4: We build from the middle out and the bottom up.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of there's a great scene in The
Speaker 4: Simpsons where Codos and Kang, the space aliens are discus
Speaker 4: discussing we'll go forwards, not backwards, upwards, not downwards, andirling
Speaker 4: twirling into the future. That's the Biden White House talking
Speaker 4: point on the economy. Here's some actual facts which don't
Speaker 4: expect this White House to include. Prices as measured by
Speaker 4: the Consumer Price Index are up more than sixteen percent
Speaker 4: since Biden took office. The same time, Americans are racking
Speaker 4: up more credit card debt. Total credit card debt reached
Speaker 4: a record high of nearly one trillion dollars. In addition
Speaker 4: to that, the Biden White House is claiming well, quote,
Speaker 4: the president's economic strategy has powered the strongest recovery of
Speaker 4: any major economy in the world. Among leading economies, the
Speaker 4: United States has the highest economic growth since the pandemic
Speaker 4: and currently has the lowest level of inflation. That's an
Speaker 4: interesting claim unless you actually get mugged by reality. Yeah,
Speaker 4: reality is Canada, South Korea, Japan, and other countries currently
Speaker 4: have a lower rate of inflation than the United States.
Speaker 4: So their claim is just objectively wrong. Let's look at
Speaker 4: something else, another claim. Quote, Under Bidenomics, our economy has
Speaker 4: recovered more quickly than most experts thought possible. Now let
Speaker 4: me stop and say, as a matter of political messaging,
Speaker 4: that's exceptionally bad. That is like saying we have sucked less. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's their message. Some experts thought we would suck more
Speaker 4: and we were not quite that bad. That's their message.
Speaker 4: Now let's return to facts. Under Bidenomics, their term inflation
Speaker 4: has proven persistent, despite experts like Federal Reserve Chairman J
Speaker 4: Powell and Secretary Janet Yellen claiming inflation would be transitory.
Speaker 4: Inflation has exceeded two percent for twin seven straight months
Speaker 4: and is still double the fed's target rate. And let's
Speaker 4: just take the past year May twenty twenty two to
Speaker 4: May twenty twenty three. Flour is up seventeen point one percent.
Speaker 4: Bread is up twelve point five percent, Frozen vegetables are
Speaker 4: up eighteen point seven percent. Sugar is up eleven point
Speaker 4: one percent. Margarine, if you're actually trying to be healthy
Speaker 4: and not do the butter thing, twenty two point five percent,
Speaker 4: baby food formula ten point one percent. I gotta tell
Speaker 4: you got a problem with White House. When you're telling
Speaker 4: the American people the pain you're feeling every month is
Speaker 4: not real. We're telling you politically things are hunky dory,
Speaker 4: and don't believe the agony of your check book and
Speaker 4: your credit card debt, because hey, our political spin is
Speaker 4: where democrats and everything's fine.
Speaker 2: You know some of the shocking claims he's made. He
Speaker 2: also claimed recently that in twenty twenty two to the
Speaker 2: price of gas was down from five over five dollars
Speaker 2: quote when I took office, it was actually two dollars
Speaker 2: and forty six cents. When he came into office, and
Speaker 2: it hit Highes more than five dollars. Under his leadership,
Speaker 2: he also claimed again and again to have created millions
Speaker 2: and millions of new jobs, when they were simply the
Speaker 2: recovered jobs that were lost to COVID and the economy
Speaker 2: coming back. It's not like he created all of these jobs.
Speaker 2: Do you think this is going to work with the
Speaker 2: American people?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 4: Now? I think the American people have an exceptionally strong
Speaker 4: BS detector, and this is obvious that this is like
Speaker 4: snicker you know, this is the sort of thing that
Speaker 4: when a White House flack and goes and pitches this,
Speaker 4: people start snickering. I'll give you another example. Here's one
Speaker 4: of the claims from the Biden White House quote, employers
Speaker 4: are offering better pay, better benefits, and better schedules. Now
Speaker 4: here's some facts. Wage gains not keeping up with inflation.
Speaker 4: In other words, yes, wages have gone up, but inflation
Speaker 4: has gone up more, which means real wages have gone down.
Speaker 4: And in fact, here are the data. Real average weekly
Speaker 4: earnings have been negative for twenty six straight months, twenty
Speaker 4: six months in a row. In addition, the average number
Speaker 4: of weekly hours worked is falling, which shows that employers
Speaker 4: are dealing with economic headwinds by cutting hours rather than
Speaker 4: firing workers because of the tight labor labor market. People
Speaker 4: know this. It is not effective. Look when you have
Speaker 4: a kid who's fallen and hurt themselves on a playground,
Speaker 4: it is not effected parenting to say your bleeding knee
Speaker 4: doesn't hurt. When people are hungry, it is not effective
Speaker 4: governance to say you don't really need food, You're not
Speaker 4: that hungry. The Biden White House is trying to convince
Speaker 4: people the economy is doing great, and never mind your
Speaker 4: lying eyes, or never mind your dwindling bank account. We
Speaker 4: say it's awesome.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's when you look at how they've done this.
Speaker 2: There's another aspect of this too, and it worries me
Speaker 2: about the economy in a bigger perspective center and that's this.
Speaker 2: This White House has lied, and they keep saying over
Speaker 2: and over again, they've cut the deficit by one point
Speaker 2: seven trillion. We've had some of the biggest spending policies
Speaker 2: and increases in the history of this country, if not
Speaker 2: the biggest depending on who scores it. But when you
Speaker 2: hear them say they cut the deficit by one point
Speaker 2: seven trillion, you're in Congress.
Speaker 1: You know that's not true.
Speaker 4: It is an absolute lie. It is based on revisionist numbers.
Speaker 4: It is based on saying, well, it could have been higher.
Speaker 4: So it's actually the same argument we could have sucked more.
Speaker 4: That's not, in fact persuasive. We're looking at a national
Speaker 4: debt of roughly thirty two trillion dollars. This is the
Speaker 4: highest in the history of our nation. And Joe Biden
Speaker 4: is saying, never mind the numbers, never mind the spending
Speaker 4: spree we've engaged in. We're fine, and it could have
Speaker 4: been worse. We've cut it because we could have spent
Speaker 4: even worse. I got to say, you know, going back,
Speaker 4: I sort of think of Joe Biden like your drunk
Speaker 4: teenager that goes out partying in the car, crashes, crashes
Speaker 4: into the fire hydrant, trenches your front lawn, and says, well, look,
Speaker 4: it could have been worse. I could have driven like
Speaker 4: into the side of the house. That's basically Biden's argument is, yes,
Speaker 4: we've got the worst debt in history thanks to Democrats
Speaker 4: spending like drunken sailors, but we could have done worse.
Speaker 2: There was a great headline that wraps us up, and
Speaker 2: it was from the New York Post editorial Board. It
Speaker 2: said Biden's economic lies show he's either a deluded narcissist
Speaker 2: or a total fraud. They listed his top three as
Speaker 2: saying lie number one quote, it was already there when
Speaker 2: I got there.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 2: Inflation was actually at one point four percent when Biden
Speaker 2: took office, and now we've seen what's happened with inflation
Speaker 2: at all time highs in my life. Then he said
Speaker 2: jobs were hemorrhaging man, right, Well that's not true. America
Speaker 2: lost close to twenty two million jobs to the lockdown
Speaker 2: shock in early twenty twenty, but by the end of
Speaker 2: that year we'd recovered a bit more than half.
Speaker 1: Under Biden, that pace slowed massively.
Speaker 2: It wasn't until June of twenty twenty two that the
Speaker 2: nation recovered the rest of those jobs. And he says, well,
Speaker 2: that's on the other guy. And then he said this,
Speaker 2: We weren't manufacturing a damn thing here. The nation has
Speaker 2: millions of manufacturers jobs despite COVID's impact, and the sector
Speaker 2: boomed with deregulation during the Trump's year years, and those
Speaker 2: jobs dried up after the regulations came back in. You
Speaker 2: put all three of those together and I go back
Speaker 2: to this, it's the economy, stupid. How big of an
Speaker 2: issue do you think this is going to be on
Speaker 2: a scale of one to five? Where do you think
Speaker 2: this is going to rank when it comes to the
Speaker 2: presidential election when he's on stage with somebody.
Speaker 4: I think it's massive. I think it's front and center.
Speaker 4: It's how it impacts Americans across the country. You know,
Speaker 4: I have to say, I'm listening to that headline you
Speaker 4: just read that Biden is either a diluted narcissist or
Speaker 4: an absolute fraud. And this is where the college debater
Speaker 4: that I was the sort of geeky nineteen year old
Speaker 4: pops in. And what immediately occurs to me is those
Speaker 4: are not mutually exclusive. He's perfectly capable of being both
Speaker 4: a diluted narcissist and an absolute fraud, and both I
Speaker 4: think accurately explain where we are when he is lying
Speaker 4: to the American people on a daily basis and his
Speaker 4: policies have produced abject failure. And listen, this presidential election
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty four, what it should focus on is
Speaker 4: that an overwhelming majority of Americans recognize we're on the
Speaker 4: wrong track, that the economy is going wrong, that inflation
Speaker 4: is skyrocketing, that the lives of working Americans have gotten.
Speaker 5: Harder and harder.
Speaker 4: They also recognize that our safety has gotten worse. We've
Speaker 4: got chaos at our southern border, the worst illegal immigration
Speaker 4: in history. Last year, we had one hundred thousand people
Speaker 4: die of drug overdoses, the worst in history. We have
Speaker 4: murder rates rising, carjacking rates rising, rape rates rising, assault
Speaker 4: rates rising, and all of that pales in comparison to
Speaker 4: the utter chaos abroad. You have to go back a
Speaker 4: long long time to find a foreign policyer national security
Speaker 4: mess worse than what Joe Biden has done in the
Speaker 4: last two and a half years. And so look, the
Speaker 4: classic question in any presidential election is are you better
Speaker 4: off now than you were four years ago. I got
Speaker 4: to tell you, the number of Americans who can say
Speaker 4: yes to that is abysmally small. Maybe if you're a
Speaker 4: Mexican drug cartel kingpin, then you answer yes, Actually you
Speaker 4: answer yes emphatically. So el Chapo should vote for Joe Biden.
Speaker 4: Maybe if you're a big tech billionaire Jack Dorsey, Mark
Speaker 4: Zuckerberg should vote for Joe Biden. But if you're a
Speaker 4: truck driver if you're a steel worker, if you're a cop,
Speaker 4: if you're a firefighter, if you're a waiter, if you're
Speaker 4: a waitress, if you're a teacher, if you're someone who
Speaker 4: actually goes and works for a living, it is unambiguous
Speaker 4: that the Biden socialist agenda has been a train wreck.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point, and I agree with you. I think
Speaker 2: this is going to be a huge issue when you
Speaker 2: head into this election. Let me tell you real quick
Speaker 2: about our friends of Gusta Precious Medals. Regardless of what
Speaker 2: Joe Biden says, the economy has been struggling, and if
Speaker 2: you have looked at your retirement account, your four one

Speaker 2: are showing that a lot of people are down twenty
Speaker 2: percent or more over the last year. And that is

Speaker 2: Com center. You know, it's not just the economy where
Speaker 2: Biden is struggling right now, it's also on the issue
Speaker 2: of foreign policy and Israel. President Joe Biden set down
Speaker 2: with Fared Zakaria at CNN and in this conversation that
Speaker 2: he had with Fared, he basically threw Benjamin Nettnyahu in
Speaker 2: Israel under the bus, a close ally of the United
Speaker 2: States of America. I want to play this for people
Speaker 2: that maybe didn't get to hear this, and then I
Speaker 2: want you to break it down for everybody, because this
Speaker 2: is a shocking I think move away from Israel. Well,
Speaker 2: and it's a dangerous one, especially when we need this
Speaker 2: ally in the Middle East.
Speaker 6: Late last month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanya who revealed that
Speaker 6: he had been invited to visit China. That invitation underscores
Speaker 6: the absence of a similar one from the United States.
Speaker 6: In March, after sharp rare criticism of Netanya, who for
Speaker 6: his proposed judicial overhaul, the US President Joe Biden said
Speaker 6: that the Prime minister would not receive a White House
Speaker 6: invitation in the near term. Months later, he has shown
Speaker 6: no sign of relenting. So where do matters between the
Speaker 6: two leaders and their country stand. I'm back with Joe Biden,
Speaker 6: Mister President, what will it take for BB Netanya who
Speaker 6: to get an invitation to the White House?
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, the fairly president is going to
Speaker 7: be coming. We have other contacts. I've been as I
Speaker 7: think it's fair to say an unyield.
Speaker 4: Instruction st stop right there, so and we're going to
Speaker 4: keep playing that. But I want you to understand how
Speaker 4: utterly absurd that answer is. So, Zakaria asks Joe Biden,
Speaker 4: what will it take for Benjamin netnya who the elected
Speaker 4: Prime Minister of Israel, to be invited to the White House,
Speaker 4: and his response he says, well, first of all, we
Speaker 4: have the president coming. Now, It's important to understand the
Speaker 4: governance model in Israel. The president is not the senior
Speaker 4: elected executive in Israel. Who is the president? The president
Speaker 4: is a guy named Isaac Hershaw. He goes by Bougie Herzog.
Speaker 4: Who is he? Well, he was, among other things, the
Speaker 4: head of the Labor Party. The Labor Party would be
Speaker 4: the out of power party, the Liberal party in Israel.
Speaker 4: He was also the leader of the opposition. So here's
Speaker 4: what Biden says, what is it going to take to
Speaker 4: invite net Yahoo to the White House? Well, we've invited
Speaker 4: the leader of the opposition. He's now the president, which
Speaker 4: is mostly a ceremonial role. That is the equivalent. Let's
Speaker 4: imagine you're talking to the leader of a foreign nation,
Speaker 4: the leader of France, the leader of the United Kingdom,
Speaker 4: the leader of Canada. And let's assume that they were
Speaker 4: doing what the Biden White House is doing, which is
Speaker 4: ostentatiously going out of their way to snub the elected
Speaker 4: leader of Israel to say we don't want you, you
Speaker 4: are not welcome in the Biden White House, which is
Speaker 4: what they're doing. And imagine their response was so imagine
Speaker 4: you were asking the head of another country, why won't
Speaker 4: you invite Joe Biden? And the response was, well, we
Speaker 4: invited Mitch McConnell. That's what Joe Biden just said. Well,
Speaker 4: we invited the guy from the out of power party.
Speaker 4: Isn't that enough? No, it's not. And I want you
Speaker 4: to play the rest of this, but I want you
Speaker 4: to understand that opening comment is laugh out loud absurd.
Speaker 4: We invited the guy from the opposite party, so that
Speaker 4: should be sufficient. Why because I a left wing Democrat,
Speaker 4: hate the leader that the people of Israel elected. Keep
Speaker 4: playing what Biden has to say.
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, the Israeli president is going to
Speaker 7: be coming. We have other contacts. I've been as I
Speaker 7: think it's fair to say, an un yielding support of
Speaker 7: Israel for over I've only been around a couple of years,
Speaker 7: but for as long as I've been around, and Bbe,
Speaker 7: I think is trying to work through how we can
Speaker 7: work through his existing problems in terms of his cold.
Speaker 2: He has.
Speaker 7: I'm one of those who believes that Israel is almost
Speaker 7: security the rest of the two state solution. I think
Speaker 7: it's a mistake to think that as some members of
Speaker 7: his cabinet, and this is one of the most extreme
Speaker 7: members of cabinets that I've seen. I go all the
Speaker 7: way back to Golden my ear and all you know.
Speaker 2: And can we just stop there, Senator and get your
Speaker 2: reaction to Joe Biden actively criticizing and referring to the
Speaker 2: cabinet as the most extreme members he's ever seen in Israel.
Speaker 4: Well, it's important to understand Joe Biden in this administration
Speaker 4: has been the most relentless, relentlessly anti Israel administration our
Speaker 4: federal government has ever had. We have seen in the
Speaker 4: Biden White House a granular, systematic, comprehensive, and exhaustive attempt
Speaker 4: to undermine our friend and ally, the state of Israel.
Speaker 4: It is shameful. It goes back to the opening weeks
Speaker 4: of the Biden administration where the State Department put out
Speaker 4: written guidance banning anyone at the State Department from using
Speaker 4: the words Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords were historic peace
Speaker 4: agreements that were entered between Israel and a multiple Arab allies.
Speaker 4: The Trump administration was critical and brokery the Abraham Accords.
Speaker 4: They were groundbreaking, and yet the Biden administration hated them
Speaker 4: and put in writing that the State Department must refer
Speaker 4: to them as normalization agreements. Ultimately, when they got called
Speaker 4: out for it, when this written guidance was made public,
Speaker 4: and I will admit I played a critical role in
Speaker 4: making it public, it was further discovered that that was
Speaker 4: done at the direction of the Biden White House. Not
Speaker 4: only that the Biden Department of Justice in the FBI
Speaker 4: is actively investigating and targeting the Israeli military for the
Speaker 4: death of a Palestinian who was in the middle of
Speaker 4: an active firefight. It is absurd. There is no other
Speaker 4: ally that we would unleash the Department of Justice and
Speaker 4: FBI to go after their military. But the Biden administration
Speaker 4: despises Benjamin Netanyaho. You know, I gotta say. He just
Speaker 4: says net Nyah, who is the most extreme leader that
Speaker 4: we've ever had in fifty years. You know what's amazing,
Speaker 4: Benjamin Netanyah, who is the longest serving prime minister in
Speaker 4: the history of Israel. We just finished the single worst
Speaker 4: year for violence in the Middle East in history. And
Speaker 4: it's not Benjamin Netanyaho that's new. It's Joe Biden. It's
Speaker 4: his policies of appeasement. He has been funneling cash into Hamas,
Speaker 4: into hez Belah, into the terrorists, and he draws a
Speaker 4: false equivalency. He says, the terrorists who strap on suicide
Speaker 4: vests and go in to shopping malls or children's schools
Speaker 4: and murder women and children and infants, they're just exactly
Speaker 4: the same as the Israeli soldiers who are trying to
Speaker 4: protect those women and children and infants. It is shameful,
Speaker 4: it is disgraceful. And I get to say, listen, there
Speaker 4: are a lot of Democrats, and I'm talking Democrat voters.
Speaker 4: I'm not talking politicians in Washington. I'm talking people in
Speaker 4: the rest of America. There are a lot of Democrats
Speaker 4: who believe rightfully that America should be a strong and
Speaker 4: resolute ally with Israel. You cannot look at the Biden
Speaker 4: administration's record and conclude anything other than this White House
Speaker 4: is adamantly opposed to standing with Israel, and it most
Speaker 4: recently was manifested in a new policy that was announced
Speaker 4: from the Department of State that targets Israeli Jews who
Speaker 4: live in the Golan Heights and who live in Judaea
Speaker 4: and Samaria, and in fact who live in parts of Jerusalem,
Speaker 4: the capital of Israel, to ban bilateral scientific and technological
Speaker 4: cooperation and the State Department distributed to all the relevant
Speaker 4: US government agencies. And it is effectively Joe Biden implementing
Speaker 4: a policy of BDS, boycott, divest and sanction. It is
Speaker 4: targeting Israel. It is explicitly targeted at Israeli Jews and listen.
Speaker 4: I authored a bipartisan resolution along with Tim Kaine, a
Speaker 4: Democrat from Virginia, passed the Senate one hundred to nothing,
Speaker 4: the Cruiz Kane resolution that number one condemns anti Semitism,
Speaker 4: but number two makes explicit that BDS is anti Semitic. Well,
Speaker 4: I'm here to tell you right now, the Biden administration's
Speaker 4: policy embracing BDS is anti Semitic. So when Joe Biden says, well,
Speaker 4: no one stood stronger with Israel than he has, well,
Speaker 4: holy Cow. With friends like that, who the heck needs enemies?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Joe Biden wasn't finished there. He also went
Speaker 1: on to say this.
Speaker 7: He's extreme. But I go back to the era. I
Speaker 7: think that the fact that the Palestinian authority has lost
Speaker 7: its credibility, not necessarily because of what Israel's done, just
Speaker 7: because it's just lost its credibility. Number one and number
Speaker 7: two created a vacuum for extremism in the among the
Speaker 7: Palestinians PLA. They are there's some very extreme elements. So
Speaker 7: it's not all Israel now on the West Bank all
Speaker 7: Israel's problem, but they are part of problem, and particularly
Speaker 7: those individuals in the cabinet who say they have no
Speaker 7: right to we can set on where we want, they
Speaker 7: have no right to be here, et cetera. And I
Speaker 7: think we we're talking with them regularly, trying to tamp
Speaker 7: down what's going on, and hopefully Bobe will continue to
Speaker 7: move toward moderation and change it. In the condo court
Speaker 7: you've had.
Speaker 1: I mean Sentaer.
Speaker 2: You listen to his lack of critique really of the
Speaker 2: of the Palestinian Authority, a group that clearly works with
Speaker 2: the Moss and Hesba Lah. And there are so many
Speaker 2: innocent people at Israel that have been affected by the
Speaker 2: terrorism coming from this organization that refuses to get rid
Speaker 2: of their extremism. And you hear the present he was
Speaker 2: trying to like be timid and careful not to over
Speaker 2: criticize them.
Speaker 4: Well, it's even worse than that. This administration has been
Speaker 4: granular in how they've worked to undermine Israel. So, for example,
Speaker 4: the USAID, the US Agency for International Development, has poured
Speaker 4: hundreds of millions of dollars into Palestinian controlled areas. If
Speaker 4: you look at in one case, a five million dollar
Speaker 4: award to the Gaza Strip was disclosed on the public
Speaker 4: databases with the wrong amount, the wrong location, and the
Speaker 4: recipient was anonymized. And the reason why is because they
Speaker 4: were trying to cover up that they were giving to
Speaker 4: effectively hamas proxies. Wow, and I will tell you my
Speaker 4: office is the one that exposed that and caused USAID
Speaker 4: to acknowledge that they publicly disclosed the wrong amount, the
Speaker 4: wrong location, and hid the recipient because it's contrary to law.
Speaker 4: By the way, this administration is also funding millions of
Speaker 4: dollars to the Palestinian authority while they continue what are
Speaker 4: called pay to slay policies. What are pay to slay policies?
Speaker 4: If you're a Palestinian terrorist and you strap out a
Speaker 4: suicide vest and you murder a bunch of children, the
Speaker 4: Palestinian authority will send a check every year for the
Speaker 4: rest of your life, to your widow and your children.
Speaker 4: They will pay you to murder innocent children. Now, we
Speaker 4: pass legislation through Congress, which I was an avid supporter of,
Speaker 4: to say we are not going to pay government entities
Speaker 4: that pay terrorists and reward terrorism. And yet the Biden
Speaker 4: administration is actively circumventing it. But Ben, it's actually it
Speaker 4: is so minute. I'm going to give you a small
Speaker 4: example that is revealing the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs
Speaker 4: in the State Department quietly change the name of the
Speaker 4: bureau that handles Israel from It used to be the
Speaker 4: Israel and Palestinian Affairs Office. Now it is the Israeli
Speaker 4: and Palestinian Affairs Office. Now why did they do that.
Speaker 4: They did that because they don't want to acknowledge number one,
Speaker 4: that Israel exists as a Jewish state. But number two,
Speaker 4: they are obsessed with putting the Israelis and Palestinians on
Speaker 4: parody and acknowledging that Israel as a sovereign state is inconsistent.
Speaker 4: I'll give you another example, which is that the Office
Speaker 4: of Palestinian Affairs gave a Bronze Age Judaean relic to
Speaker 4: the Palestinian authority, as quote an example of Palestinian cultural patrimony.
Speaker 4: What utter and complete nonsense. It had nothing to do
Speaker 4: with that. But what the Biden administration was engaged in
Speaker 4: is a relentless campaign to try to undermine the sovereignty
Speaker 4: of Israel. And I got to say, listen, we have
Speaker 4: some Democrats who listen to this podcast. I don't think
Speaker 4: we have a ton, but we have some. If you're
Speaker 4: a Democrat who actually thinks America should stand with Israel,
Speaker 4: what do you think of the fact that Joe Biden
Speaker 4: publicly snubs the elected prime Minister of Israel. By the way, Lula,
Speaker 4: the socialist, anti American leftist in Brazil, Biden happily welcomed
Speaker 4: in with open arms and bear hugged him. If you
Speaker 4: hate America, the Biden White House loves you. But if
Speaker 4: you're the elected leader of Israel, you are not welcome
Speaker 4: in the Biden White House. And I got to say, listen,
Speaker 4: I've been blessed. In the time I've been in the Senate.
Speaker 4: I've gotten a no Net and Yahoo quite well of
Speaker 4: all all of the world leaders I've met, and at
Speaker 4: this point, I've been incredibly fortunate. I've met a lot
Speaker 4: of world leaders. I don't think there is another who
Speaker 4: has impressed me more with the seriousness of his mission,
Speaker 4: with the gravity Benjamin Netanya, who understands that he has
Speaker 4: a responsibility to protect the safety of the citizens of
Speaker 4: Israel from forces that surround Israel that would drive them
Speaker 4: into the sea. And I have told him this before,
Speaker 4: but I believe it emphatically. I think Netanna, who has
Speaker 4: a Churchillian steely eyed gaze on the threats facing Israel
Speaker 4: in America and in particular the threat of a nuclear Iran,
Speaker 4: and Joe Biden and the cronies around him are actively
Speaker 4: funneling billions of dollars into Iran to help them develop
Speaker 4: nuclear weapons that could well be used to murder millions
Speaker 4: of Israelis and millions of Americans.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 4: To say it is backwards would be a massive understatement.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: And this is the foreign policy that you get right
Speaker 2: now with this administration, and it's certainly putting US and
Speaker 2: the Middle East at risk of significant instability. But also
Speaker 2: just saying to our allies yet again, hey we don't
Speaker 2: know what we'll do for you. Hey we'll helping Ukraine,
Speaker 2: but maybe not Israel. When you're surrounded by people that
Speaker 2: chant death to Israel and chant death to America, I.
Speaker 1: Want to talk to you about your cell phone for
Speaker 1: a moment.
Speaker 2: If you have a cell phone, and your cell phone
Speaker 2: is a big mobile, you've got another option you may
Speaker 2: not even know about. That's Patriot Mobile, America's only Christian
Speaker 2: conservative wireless provider that offers you dependable nationwide coverage on
Speaker 2: all three major networks, so you get the best possible
Speaker 2: service in your area, period, without the woke propaganda that's
Speaker 2: being pushed by the leftists working hard destroy this kind
Speaker 2: this country. Now, the hardcore on the left at these companies,
Speaker 2: they are dumping millions of dollars into leftist causes, including
Speaker 2: Planned parenthood. If you don't want your money to go there,
Speaker 2: switch to Patriot Mobile. Not only when you pay your bill,
Speaker 2: you actually support free speech and religious freedom, You'll also
Speaker 2: be protecting and supporting the sancty of life, the Second Amendment,
Speaker 2: and our military veterans and first responders. They have one
Speaker 2: hundred percent US based customer service team that makes switching easy.
Speaker 1: You can keep your.
Speaker 2: Same cell phone number and your same cell phone, or
Speaker 2: upgrade to a new one. Check out Patriot Mobile, because
Speaker 2: when you pay that bill every month, a portion of
Speaker 2: your billet now extra charge to you goes back to
Speaker 2: support the causes that I just mentioned. Patriot Mobile dot
Speaker 2: com slash verdict. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. Or
Speaker 2: you can go and call them eight seven eight Patriot
Speaker 2: that's eight seven eight Patriot Center. I also want to
Speaker 2: talk about some news quickly that deals with Hunter Biden Bender.
Speaker 1: I also want to.
Speaker 2: Talk about some news quickly that deals with Hunter Biden,
Speaker 2: uh and the President. Chris Christy actually came out and
Speaker 2: had something very interesting to say about the investigation that
Speaker 2: took place into Hunter Biden on Fox News Sunday This
Speaker 2: on the heels that James Comer has also come out
Speaker 2: and said that there's going to be some announcements on
Speaker 2: quote disturbing findings in the Hunter Biden case this coming week.
Speaker 2: Here's Chris Christy in his own words.
Speaker 5: Well, listen, us attorney wife has to explain himself, and
Speaker 5: he has to explain himself in public. You know the
Speaker 5: fact is that this investigation the Hunter Biden in Delaware
Speaker 5: is either a lie or it's incompetent.
Speaker 1: There's no way that it co.
Speaker 5: Should say five years to get to a two count
Speaker 5: misdemeanor tax plea and then to dismiss the gun charges.
Speaker 5: You know, those guns charge just carry up to a
Speaker 5: ten year sentence to lie on the application. Democrats are complying, creating, crying,
Speaker 5: and complaining all the time about wanting more gun laws,
Speaker 5: yet they won't even enforce the gun laws that exist.
Speaker 5: And the Hunter Biden should have been charged under those
Speaker 5: gun laws. And to that that, you have a two
Speaker 5: cap misdemeanor tax plea that should not have taken all
Speaker 5: the time that it did.
Speaker 1: So either David.
Speaker 5: Weiss is incompetent it's taking five years to do that,
Speaker 5: or he's not telling the truth. And Merrick Garland's not
Speaker 5: telling the truth.
Speaker 2: You hear him say that. I actually couldn't agree with
Speaker 2: him more. And I also think this tells us about
Speaker 2: what's going to probably be coming out this week that
Speaker 2: James Comer has kind of been telegraphing on.
Speaker 4: Well, listen, we are going to see a hearing in
Speaker 4: the House Representatives with David Weiss testifying, with the irs
Speaker 4: whistleblowers testifying, and with Merrick Garland testifying. I'm predicting right
Speaker 4: now we're going to see all of them. They may
Speaker 4: not be at the same hearing. I hope they are.
Speaker 4: They ought to all be at the same table. But
Speaker 4: we will see them testifying it under oath before the House.
Speaker 4: We won't see him in the Senate because Senate Democrats
Speaker 4: don't care. They do not care if the Attorney General
Speaker 4: is committing multiple felonies. They do not care if the
Speaker 4: Department of Justice is covering up multiple felonies by the president.
Speaker 4: But Chris Christi on this point is exactly right. And
Speaker 4: let me point out Christy was the United States Attorney
Speaker 4: for New Jersey for nearly seven years, so he's done
Speaker 4: the job of being a US attorney. And in this
Speaker 4: instance number one, the fact that this took five years
Speaker 4: is utterly absurd. I don't know why what the heck
Speaker 4: Weiss was doing for five years, other than delaying and
Speaker 4: stonewalling and protecting Joe Biden in the process.
Speaker 2: Hoping Statute of Limitations would run out some of the
Speaker 2: most serious charges as well.
Speaker 4: Well, and it did many of the most serious charges.
Speaker 4: He allowed the Statute of limitations to expire. And if
Speaker 4: what the p Arras whistleblowers alleged is true, and I'm
Speaker 4: going to caveat. That's an important if they might not
Speaker 4: be telling the truth, but if they're telling the truth,
Speaker 4: Merrick Garland is guilty, I believe, of lying under oath
Speaker 4: in front of Congress an obstruction of justice, both of
Speaker 4: which are serious felonies. And so the Department of Justice
Speaker 4: wants to keep sweeping this aside, wants to say, oh,
Speaker 4: this is a pending investigation, we're not going to answer it. Well, no,
Speaker 4: we're not asking about the pending investigation. We're asking about
Speaker 4: your criminality, your wrongdoing, your lying to Congress, your obstruction
Speaker 4: of justice. You're tipping off a witness and a target
Speaker 4: of an investigation. You're actively impeding any investigation into the
Speaker 4: now growing and rapidly becoming overwhelming evidence of official corruption
Speaker 4: by Joe Biden being on the receiving end of millions
Speaker 4: of dollars from foreign nations, including China and including Ukraine.
Speaker 2: We're seeing and there was a headline by the Associated
Speaker 2: Press it said top Republicans are gearing up to investigate
Speaker 2: the Hunter Biden case and saying basically what they've realized
Speaker 2: now is these lead three key House committees are basically
Speaker 2: joining forces to probe the Justice Department tandling of these
Speaker 2: charges against Hunter Biden after making sweeping claims about misconduct
Speaker 2: at that agency. You've got leaders of the House Judiciary
Speaker 2: Oversight and Accountability and Ways and Means Committee opening a
Speaker 2: joint investigation in the federal case, and the President Joe
Speaker 2: Biden jung his son days after it was announced last
Speaker 2: month that he's going to plead guilty to the Misiometer
Speaker 2: tax offenses as part of the agreement. Now we also
Speaker 2: know that that Judge Center has to know at this
Speaker 2: point that these whistleblowers have come forward. Do you expect
Speaker 2: that to change this plea deal at all?
Speaker 4: I don't know, but it should. I think the judge
Speaker 4: should open up the plea deal. And I'll tell you
Speaker 4: if you go back to the first Trump impeachment. Listen,
Speaker 4: this podcast launched on the first night of the first
Speaker 4: Trump impeachment, where I went from the Senate floor and
Speaker 4: about midnight drove to the studio and recorded it that
Speaker 4: evening and put it out real time. I can tell
Speaker 4: you in the middle of that impeachment, which concerned Ukraine,
Speaker 4: concerned Barisma, concerned an allegation that Trump had withheld aid
Speaker 4: in order to try to pressure Ukraine into investigating corruption
Speaker 4: by Joe Biden concerning Barisma. I got to tell you
Speaker 4: I emphatically urged the Trump legal team at the time
Speaker 4: to prosecute this case then to use the impeachment trial
Speaker 4: to lay out the evidence of corruption by Joe Biden
Speaker 4: and Hunter Biden receiving millions of dollars in exchange for
Speaker 4: official conduct. Now to do that, they would have had
Speaker 4: to have been willing to call witnesses. And you'll recall
Speaker 4: there was a whole kerfuffle because the Democrats wanted to
Speaker 4: call John Bolton as a witness. Yeah, and what I
Speaker 4: urged the Trump legal team, I said, look, this is
Speaker 4: your best opportunity to go and prosecute the case that
Speaker 4: Joe Biden is guilty of what it is the Democrats
Speaker 4: are alleging Trump did. Unfortunately, the Trump legal team made
Speaker 4: the decision they didn't want to do that, and so
Speaker 4: they didn't want witnesses, they didn't want to bring in.
Speaker 4: I was making the case to them bring Hunter Biden in.
Speaker 4: Let's hear about what did you do to earn eighty
Speaker 4: three thousand dollars a month that Barisma paid you? That
Speaker 4: would have been you want to talk about riveting testimony
Speaker 4: on the floor of the Senate, and had the Trump
Speaker 4: legal team decided they wanted to do that, I think
Speaker 4: we could have put this evidence before the American people
Speaker 4: several years ago and it might well have change the
Speaker 4: course of history of what transpired. But at the end
Speaker 4: of the day, the Trump legal team decided they had
Speaker 4: a better approach than the one I was suggesting. And
Speaker 4: we're still sitting here every day with more and more
Speaker 4: facts coming out. They're incredibly damning about the corruption of
Speaker 4: the entire Biden family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point, and it's going to be some sort
Speaker 2: of significant info that's going to be shared this week.
Speaker 2: We're being told from James Comer, we'll obviously be covering that.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you real quick about chalk.

Speaker 2: was actually just hysterical to me, and it dealt with
Speaker 2: Ben and Jerry's. The founders of Ben and Jerry's are
Speaker 2: angry about Land that they say was stolen.
Speaker 1: They did this big interview.
Speaker 2: And they're talking about July fourth and how terrible somehow
Speaker 2: July fourth is and we should give back land. And
Speaker 2: then the joke turns on them because apparently where Ben
Speaker 2: and Jerry's headquarters is that land, if they're going to
Speaker 2: live by their new standards, should be given back immediately
Speaker 2: to Indigenous people.
Speaker 1: You cannot make this up.
Speaker 4: Well, that's right. On the fourth of July. Ben and Jerry's,
Speaker 4: which is a leftist company run by hippie billionaires, tweeted
Speaker 4: out the following this fourth of July, it's high time
Speaker 4: we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land
Speaker 4: and commit to returning it. Learn more and take action
Speaker 4: now with a link. And then they have this this
Speaker 4: graphic that says the United States was founded on stolen
Speaker 4: Indigenous land. This fourth of July, let's commit to returning
Speaker 4: it now. I'll point out that when they face criticism
Speaker 4: for it, here is in fact what Ben and Jerry's
Speaker 4: uh put out quote, the faces on Mount Rushmore are
Speaker 4: the faces of men who actively work to destroy the
Speaker 4: Indigenous cultures and ways of life, to deny Indigenous people
Speaker 4: their basic rights those are the faces on Mount Rushmore. Yeah,
Speaker 4: those are the founding fathers of America. So Ben and
Speaker 4: Jerry's has decided. George Washington, we hate him. Abraham Lincoln
Speaker 4: freed the slaves, won the Civil War, kept the country together. No,
Speaker 4: we hate him too. We're Ben and Jerry's. We're ridiculous,
Speaker 4: hypocritical liberals. And then, as you noted, the very amusing development,
Speaker 4: which is that a Native American tribe in Vermont wants
Speaker 4: its land back. And you know Ben and Jerry, Harry said, okay,
Speaker 4: we've got to return the Native American land. Well, the
Speaker 4: Nohegan band of the kosuk Abenaki Nation, the chief, Don Stevens,
Speaker 4: said he's very interested in getting the land that Ben
Speaker 4: and Jerry's headquarters is on because it originally belonged to
Speaker 4: his tribe. And the chief went on to say, quote
Speaker 4: the tribe quote was always interested in reclaiming the stewardship
Speaker 4: of our lands. And he went on to say, if
Speaker 4: and when we are approached, many conversations and discussions will
Speaker 4: need to take place to determine the best path forward
Speaker 4: for all involved. He went on to say Ben and
Speaker 4: Jerry's headquarters quote sits on a vast swath of US
Speaker 4: territory that was under the auspices of the Abenaki people
Speaker 4: before colonization. So I'm going to say, Ben and Jerry,
Speaker 4: you have convinced me, give your damn headquarters back to
Speaker 4: the Abenaki people, and I'll be there for it. I'm
Speaker 4: gonna celebrate hand over the factory. And you know what,
Speaker 4: the Abenaki people can make ice cream. You've got a
Speaker 4: factory there. You stole the land from them, you evil bastards.
Speaker 4: And by the way, this is not me calling you that,
Speaker 4: This is you calling you that. I mean. Good God,
Speaker 4: If George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are bad people because
Speaker 4: of the Native American theft, your bloody headquarters is apparently
Speaker 4: on Indian land. I gotta say I love this story
Speaker 4: because it shows there's nothing as empty, as meaningless, as
Speaker 4: fake as left wing virtue signaling. Because the chances that
Speaker 4: Ben and Jerry's will do so much as give a
Speaker 4: friggin pint of cherry Garcia ice cream to the Abenaki
Speaker 4: people are minuscule, because they sure do and joy rolling
Speaker 4: in their millions of dollars while pretending to be incredibly virtuous.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a great story that popped after they
Speaker 2: made their comments here. You absolutely gotta love it when
Speaker 2: that happens. Don't forget download Verdict three times a week.
