1 00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:04,439 Speaker 1: Welcome. It is Verdict with Center, Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: with you and Center. We've got a lot to talk 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 1: about tonight. But everyone seems to really be talking about 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: these drones in New Jersey as we're doing the show. 5 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: I'm in New York City. Everywhere I went today people 6 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: were talking about these drones. People were showing me videos 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: on their phone when I was at Fox. They're concerned 8 00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:24,639 Speaker 1: about it. And there's a bigger issue, and that's lack 9 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: of people having trust in our government right now. 10 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: Well, that's exactly right. People are talking about the drones 11 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: that are being seen up and down the East Coast. 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 2: We're going to break that down, tell you what we 13 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 2: know about that, and tell you what it says about 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 2: the state of trust in government and the media right now. Today, 15 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: we also have a story that just broke of gang 16 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,200 Speaker 2: members arrested in Aurora, Colorado. You know, the media told 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,959 Speaker 2: us this was not a problem, that were not Venezuelan 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: gang members there. Well it turns out they are. They 19 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 2: engage in a home invasion. We're going to break that 20 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: down as well. And finally, a new survey that that 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: really is going to shock you. It's a survey of 22 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 2: young people that found a very significant percentage of young 23 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: people find the murder of the healthcare CEO acceptable. It 24 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 2: is truly stunning the consequence of the ideological brainstorming of 25 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: our young people. We're going to lay those numbers out 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 2: as well. 27 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just shocking and sad to see these the 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,959 Speaker 1: data you just mentioned. I want to tell you real 29 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: quick about Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone, 30 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: and your cell phone is a big mobile, then you 31 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: need to know that your money is working against you 32 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: when you pay your bill. They give big donations to 33 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: democratic causes, candidates and radical organizations, organizations that advocate for 34 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: defunding the police, for example, and organizations that pay for 35 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 1: abortions on demand. Well, if you're like me and you 36 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: don't want your money going against your family values, then 37 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 1: you can switch to Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile was started 38 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: by a group of patriots that found out what I 39 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 1: just told you, and they said, we got to have 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: an alternative, and over a decade ago they started Patriot Mobile. Now, 41 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 1: when you use Patriot Mobile, you're gonna get the same 42 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: exact coverage that you are used to right now, because 43 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,119 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, everybody uses the same Big three networks, 44 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,239 Speaker 1: you use the same towers that you're on right now. 45 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: They also have a coverage guarantee to give you peace 46 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: of mind. And then here is the best part. They 47 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: actually take about five percent of your bill every month 48 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: at no additional costs to you, and they give it 49 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: back to organizations that stand on the front lines fighting 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: for our First and our Second Amendment rights, fighting for 51 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: the sancety of life, and standing with our military, our 52 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: first responders and are wounded war your heroes. So if 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: you want to take a stand for conservative causes and 54 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: put America first, switch to Patriot Mobile today.

Is 67 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: it foreign governments spying on us? There's a bigger conversation 68 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: that I think we need to have, and that is 69 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 1: I am genuinely worried now that there are so many 70 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Americans that have no trust in the US government. They 71 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: have no trust in our in our agencies like the 72 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: FBI or the CIA or the Department of Homeland Security 73 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: because they've been lied to, whether it's on COVID or 74 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: whether it's on us having a secure border like my 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: orcs said over and over again, or a lying to 76 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: us about saying tarists are not coming across the southern 77 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: border when there's people on the Terrace watch list. And 78 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: so now with this drone thing, there's a genuine concern 79 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: and paranoia that when the government comes out and says, hey, 80 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: everything's okay, everybody says, why would I believe you? 81 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 2: Look, that's a fair question, and I'm going to start 82 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: with I've been in the US Senate twelve years. I 83 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: have the top level classified clearance, I have classified briefings regularly, 84 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 2: and I'm here to tell you I have no friggin 85 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: idea what's up in the sky. It actually as frustrating 86 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: as all get out. So I'm going to walk you 87 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 2: through some of the data points. I'm going to walk 88 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: you through what I've been told and where the American 89 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: people are. First of all, we're getting reports all up 90 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: and down the Eastern Seaboard about people seeing strange things 91 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: in the sky. For example, Governor Larry Hogan, former governor Maryland, 92 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: he tweeted out the following quote. Last night, beginning at 93 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 2: around nine to forty five pm, I personally witnessed and 94 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: videoed what appeared to be dozens of large drones in 95 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: the sky above my residence in Davidsonville, Maryland, five miles 96 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 2: from our nation's capital. I observe the activity for approximately 97 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: forty five minutes. Like many of observed these drones, I 98 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 2: do not know if the increasing activity over our skies 99 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 2: is a threat to public safety or national security, but 100 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: the public is growing increasingly concerned and frustrated with a 101 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: complete lack of transparency and the dismissive attitude of the 102 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: federal government. The government has the ability to track these 103 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 2: from their point of origin, but has mounted a negligent 104 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 2: response people are rightfully clamoring for answers, but aren't getting any. 105 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: We are being told that neither of the White House, 106 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: the military, the FBI, or Homeland Security have any idea 107 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 2: what they are, where they're coming from, or who has 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: launched or is controlling them, and that they pose no threat. 109 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 2: That response is entirely unacceptable. I join with the growing 110 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: bipartisan chorus of leaders demanding that the federal government immediately 111 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 2: address this issue. The American people deserve answers and action now. 112 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 2: So that's one data point. Look, Larry Hogan is a 113 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 2: serious and credible observer. He's reporting what he's seeing. 114 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:11,279 Speaker 1: Now. 115 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: Here's another another tweet. This is from Congressman Tom Keene 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Quote, We here in New Jersey are 117 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: at our wits end with the complete absence of answers 118 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 2: on drone activity over our neighborhoods. The federal government should 119 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: either explain if these are our government's assets in practice, 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: or if these are truly unknown flights, responsibly remove one 121 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 2: from the sky for examination. Either option would lead us 122 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: to an answer, and the public is rightfully demanding closure here. 123 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 2: Nothing about what is occurring is acceptable. Governor Murphy and 124 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 2: President Biden need to step up right now. So that's 125 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 2: two data points. Now, I got to say. I asked 126 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: my staff, the incoming chair of the Senate Commerce Committee. 127 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 2: The Senate Commerce Committee, among other things, has jurisdiction or 128 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: the FAA. I asked my team find out from the 129 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: FAA what the hell these are. Staff had a briefing 130 00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: with the FAA and the FBI and other agencies, and 131 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: what we were told is there's no evidence that they're drones. 132 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 2: But they have been able to verify that what people 133 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: see are man deviation because there are flight plans and 134 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: I've heard different people say one staffer is speculated. Quote 135 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 2: the ones in New Jersey or airplanes, the ones that 136 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: Hogan saw are stars. The reason they all look small 137 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: is because is not because they're drones, but because they're 138 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: far away. Now, I don't have any freaking clue. I 139 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 2: don't know what the truth is or what the falsity is. 140 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: And listen, at the end of the day in the Senate, 141 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: I don't have control of satellites. I don't have the 142 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: information to assess what is accurate or not. But why 143 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: is the federal government not directly answering this. You're right, 144 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: everybody is asking this and their whole variety of theories. 145 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 2: Some people are saying, you know what, it's UFOs, it's 146 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 2: little green men in the sky above New Jersey. Now, 147 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 2: as much as I'd love to make a headline by 148 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 2: saying I can guarantee you, I can prove to you 149 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 2: right now it is space aliens above New Jersey, I 150 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: do not, in fact have that information. Now I can't 151 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 2: tell you it's not space aliens above New Jersey. I 152 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 2: don't know. But the question you asked at the outset, Ben, 153 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 2: I think is really very interesting, the number of Americans 154 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: who don't believe a damn thing they're being told. Why, 155 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 2: Because the government, especially with the Biden administration, has demonstrated 156 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 2: they're willing to lie over and over and over again. 157 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 2: You remember the Chinese spy balloon. Government didn't let anyone 158 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: know about. 159 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: That, shut it down to it. Yeah, and they didn't 160 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: shoot it down until after it had completed what you 161 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: would describe as a mission. 162 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: And remember look, the first government spy balloon we knew about. 163 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: People up in Montana spotted it and said, hey, what 164 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 2: the hell is that thing in the sky. And then 165 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: the Biden administration reluctantly said, oh, yeah, this is spy 166 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 2: balloons from China. And by the way, we've had a 167 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: bunch of them before we knew about them, we didn't 168 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 2: do anything about them. We let them fly over America. 169 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: We let them fly over a military basis, We let 170 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 2: them spy on America, and we didn't tell you. And 171 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: it wasn't until some citizens spotted it that we were caught. 172 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 2: And then even after that, even after it was public, 173 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: this is a Chinese spy balloon. It is being maneuvered 174 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: to fly directly over a military bases to engage in surveillance. 175 00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 2: The Biden administration decided to let that Chinese spy balloon 176 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: fly over the entire continental United States, from Alaska all 177 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 2: the way across the country, and they finally shot it 178 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 2: down over the Atlantic Ocean. So all of us experience 179 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: that when strange things were flying in the sky and 180 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 2: the Biden administration knew what they were, they refuse to 181 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,199 Speaker 2: tell us. So so I don't think people are being 182 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: unreasonable when you're getting lots of reports of people looking 183 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 2: up seeing strange things in the sky, figuring, you know what, 184 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 2: the Biden administration knows what these are, and they're not 185 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,959 Speaker 2: telling us. I've heard people speculate it's the military, it's experiments. 186 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I'm frustrated that when I ask, 187 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 2: I don't get an answer. I will say this, and 188 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 2: I do think this is a responsible thing to say. 189 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 2: Ordinary citizens should not shoot them down if they are 190 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 2: in fact manned aircraft. We don't want someone in a 191 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: helicap copter getting shot down. So don't shoot at the 192 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 2: thing flying above you if you see something flying above you, 193 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 2: because you don't want to. You don't want to kill someone. 194 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: You don't want to knock it down and have it 195 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 2: crashed down and injure or kill your neighbor. But I 196 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,679 Speaker 2: will say that there is a real need for for trendency. 197 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: And it says an enormous amount that the level of 198 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,600 Speaker 2: distrust is so deep. And it's because we've seen this 199 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 2: administration lie to the American people over and over and 200 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 2: over again and expect them to believe the lies. 201 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: Here's another question, and you mentioned classified briefing, So if 202 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: you'll explain kind of how this works, because there was 203 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: a briefing to the media today and the briefing was, 204 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: or the statement that came out from the US government. 205 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: It was kind of like a KUMBAII universal statement from 206 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: a lot of agencies under the Biden administration that this 207 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: is not a threat from some adversary around the world. 208 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:46,319 Speaker 1: Everybody calmed down, and then there were some House members 209 00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 1: that got it classified briefing, And immediately the question was 210 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: asked by the media, is, well, if there's no threat here, 211 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: why was it a classified briefing? If you're saying that 212 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 1: this isn't US and it's not an adversary, So it 213 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,319 Speaker 1: is that a bunch to do about nothing? Or explain 214 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 1: your thoughts on that and and and why it would 215 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: have been done in a classified setting. 216 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,600 Speaker 2: Possibly, Well, listen, and we've talked about this on on 217 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 2: Verdict previously. Some time ago. Uh, there was a classified 218 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 2: briefing on potential UFO sightings and I was really interested. 219 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: I'm like, hey, I want to know this. I went 220 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 2: down and I read the folder. I got to tell you, Ben, 221 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: it was the most underwhelming thing I've ever seen, Like, like, 222 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: if I wanted to reveal a classified secret about it, 223 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 2: I couldn't because the whole thing said some people saw 224 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 2: some stuff, they didn't know what it was. Like that's it, 225 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 2: Like there's a bunch of pages of I don't know. 226 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 2: Some people said, so look, look, look up in the sky. 227 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 2: It's it's a bird, it's a it's a plane, it's 228 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 2: a dog. That, by the way, for people old enough 229 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 2: to remember, is the opening of Underdog. Uh which which 230 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 2: were you old enough to watch Underdog as a kid? 231 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: Ben? 232 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:54,320 Speaker 1: I was not. 233 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: No. 234 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: I actually think this is the band. 235 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: List, this is the you're showing glaring right now. 236 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 2: So they're looking up in the sky. They go, it's 237 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: a bird, it's a plane. It's a frog. A frog, 238 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 2: not bird, nor plane, nor even frog. Just little old 239 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 2: me Underdog. And it was the opening of a dog 240 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 2: that would fly through the air like Superman. That's what 241 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: when I was a little kid, the cartoon I watch. 242 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 2: But to be honest, the classified briefing did not tell 243 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: you anything more than the opening cartoon from Underdog. So 244 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: why do they do classified briefings that don't say anything. 245 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: I don't know. Often the administration does it. I think 246 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 2: it is in part a sense that they don't owe 247 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: the American public leveling with them. I see all the time. 248 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: And this is something actually both Republican and Democrat administrations do, 249 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 2: but the Biden administration is particularly bad about it. They'll 250 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 2: classify a briefing just because they don't want to talk 251 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: about a topic, or because they think it's politically embarrassing, 252 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: not because looks are proper, properly classified. If it's so happened, 253 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 2: uh that it was a spy satellite from from the 254 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: American government, you would want to classify that. We don't. 255 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 2: We're not in the business of telling people about our 256 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: spy satellites. Since I have I have not attended a 257 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 2: classified briefing on the drones. I have no idea if 258 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,240 Speaker 2: it's that or not. People have speculated that, but I 259 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,360 Speaker 2: have no information one way or the other. What I 260 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 2: would just say is, at this point, so many people 261 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 2: have reported seeing this, including credible serious people, that I 262 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 2: think the federal government owes the American people just some 263 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 2: level of leveling. Hey, here's what you're seeing, here's what's 264 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 2: going on. You know, it's it's a flight test for this, 265 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 2: it's that, or what what whatever it is. And and 266 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: the fact that that that the people are basically told 267 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: what you're worried about doesn't count. I mean, listen, you 268 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: said you're you're in New York City right now. You 269 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 2: said people were talking about all day long that that's 270 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:04,320 Speaker 2: everywhere quest to me. Yeah, the government ought to frigid 271 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: answer it, and they won't tell members of the Senate. 272 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: So if they won't tell me that, they don't view 273 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 2: it that they owe anything to Congress, they don't view 274 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 2: it that they owe anything to the American people. And 275 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: no wonder so many Americans fundamentally distrust our government when 276 00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: you don't have the government leveling with you and just 277 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 2: telling you the basic facts, and by the way, just 278 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: saying it's nothing to worry about, Well, that's not comforting. 279 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: They said the same thing with the Chinese spy balloon, 280 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: which they never would have told us about if it 281 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: were not for people who spotted it with telescopes and binoculars. 282 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 2: And to be clear, by the way, they finally admitted 283 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 2: there had been multiple Chinese sky balloons before that. They 284 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 2: never told Congress that. They never told me that, not 285 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: once until the public spotted it. And so when you 286 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 2: have a long pattern of lack of candor with the 287 00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: American people, it's unsurprising the American people are deeply distrustful. 288 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 2: And that's that's not a healthy thing. 289 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: No, And let's talk about two other aspects. Of this 290 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: and it deals with national security. You and I several 291 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: months ago talked about the number of drone incursions that 292 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: were happening at the southern border and how the cartels 293 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: down there are using an incredible number of drones to 294 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: basically spy on us, whether. 295 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 2: It's Hens of South Servins. 296 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: Right, there's like thirty thousand incursions in this certain time 297 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 1: period that we talked about, my memory is correct. And 298 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: yet they're using them for intelligence to see where we're 299 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: moving and how we're trying to protect our border, to 300 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: human smuggle, sex trafficking, fetnyl drugs, all of it. Put 301 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: it all together, and that's it. Then we have a 302 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: second now aspect of drones, and it's what we're witnessing 303 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: in the Middle East. We are seeing drones that are 304 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,600 Speaker 1: being used to attack in the Middle East. We've seen 305 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: drones that have been used in the war between Russia 306 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 1: and Ukraine at a level that I think five ten 307 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: years ago no one could have imagined. And then we 308 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 1: had a drone expert on TV who was asked a 309 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: couple of different things, one about shooting down drones, but 310 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 1: two does our government have what it takes to take 311 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: out hardened drones, drones that may actually be used by adversaries, 312 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: whether it's terrorists or other countries. And Scott Jenning absters 313 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: him the question about hey, like, if you've got a 314 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: drone over your house, can you shoot this thing down? 315 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 1: And here's what he had to say. It's very interesting 316 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 1: some of these constraptions by my house. 317 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 3: But I am not a counter I wrote this down 318 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 3: a counter drone expert. You got the coodest job I 319 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 3: have ever known about it. 320 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 5: I have a question, can you shoot these things down? 321 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 6: So let me answer that a man who got a gun. 322 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 5: No, but go ahead, sorrd Yeah. Legally no, they're treated 323 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 5: the same a shooting down aircraft which would carry even 324 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 5: a smaller and even your own. 325 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 6: Interesting and shoot your own I'm just saying it wasn't 326 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: the law hypothetically speaking, would it be dangerous to shoot? 327 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 5: Still a terrible idea for a normal civilian to attempt 328 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 5: to shoot. 329 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,080 Speaker 6: Then show us these these two that are closest to you, 330 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 6: because these two have been through some things. 331 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 5: What happened to these drones? So these drones were taken 332 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 5: out of the sky. The way that we test that 333 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 5: is in special facilities. We're a kind of drone company. 334 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 5: We build auto amiing firearms to actually take them down 335 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:18,920 Speaker 5: with bullets. 336 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 3: Uh. 337 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,440 Speaker 5: The common method for drones to be taken out of 338 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 5: the sky via law enforcement in agencies is with electromagnetic 339 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 5: weapons like jammers and spoofers and microwaves. But they don't 340 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 5: work against drones that are hardened. And that I think 341 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 5: is a really scary undertone to this whole drone mystery 342 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 5: is that we lack the kinetic responses necessary with our 343 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 5: law enforcement in federal agencies. So the DD does maintain 344 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 5: that we said. 345 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 3: Drones that are hardened, meaning that they are made to 346 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 3: not be taken out. 347 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:42,880 Speaker 1: Of the story. 348 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 3: Right. 349 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, And it's a very simple thing to do, like microwaves, 350 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 5: to harden a drone for microwaves, find it is a 351 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 5: copper tation. 352 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,640 Speaker 4: Should be a drone that size? 353 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 6: Could you put a weapon on. 354 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 5: That you could put you could carry a couple of 355 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: pounds a weapon being explosives? Absolutely wow, So I mean 356 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 5: that's not big at all. 357 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 6: Could you hear it coming? 358 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: Is it lowed? 359 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 5: They're pretty loud, but you don't know where it's coming from. 360 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 5: It's actually a pretty terrifying experience. 361 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 4: See that's why it's all these people I mean are. 362 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,200 Speaker 5: Hearing I mean well over the weekend. 363 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: I mean if you just stop there. What my big 364 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: concern is now center is we are seeing drones use 365 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: them Middle Least, we are seeing terrorists use them. We're 366 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: seeing the cartels use them. We're seeing all these up. 367 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: We don't have any answers. And then this drone expert 368 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 1: is saying, quote, we lack the kinetic response from law 369 00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: enforcement to combat hardened drones that could be used against 370 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: anyone anywhere in the country. 371 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, I've been down on the southern border where 372 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 2: border patrol on boats on the Rio Grande River that 373 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 2: they will use guns to take down drones from the cartels. 374 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 2: But an ordinary citizen can't do that. And the problem 375 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: is you maybe can do that with one or two, 376 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 2: but you can't do that with a thousand. You can't 377 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 2: do that with five thousand, or ten thousand, or twenty 378 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 2: thousand or thirty thousand. And I will say that that's 379 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 2: one of the dangers of the directions warfare is going, 380 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 2: is that we're seeing more and more or synchronized drones 381 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: being used in warfare, drones being used for surveillance, and 382 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: the danger of hardened or weaponized drones is real and significant. 383 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,399 Speaker 2: Then let me be clear. I want to reiterate, I 384 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 2: have no evidence that these are drones that are over 385 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 2: the Eastern seaboard. But the Biden administration is doing nothing 386 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 2: to assuage people's fears. They're not leveling with the American people. 387 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 2: They're telling them just hey, don't worry about it, nothing 388 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 2: to see here, and based on their past pattern of lying, 389 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: that does not inspire confidence. 390 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:40,160 Speaker 1: Final question on this, John Kirby came out and said 391 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 1: this about the drones, trying to, I guess, make people 392 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: feel better. It didn't make me feel better, but he 393 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,119 Speaker 1: said fellow authorities are now investigating one hundred tips on 394 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 1: drone activity. Here's what the White House National Security Communications 395 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: Advisor said. 396 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,399 Speaker 4: Well, I would repeat what we've said yesterday and last 397 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 4: night in a multiple agency statement that we have taken 398 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 4: a serious look at this. We have gone through five 399 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,919 Speaker 4: thousand some odd sightings, we have added detection capabilities to 400 00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 4: the region, We've even sent up visual observers, and everything 401 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: we're seeing to date, our assessment tells us that these 402 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 4: are commercial drones, hobbyist drones, or law enforcement drones, all 403 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 4: operating legally and. 404 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: Lawfully, nothing to worry about. Everything's fine. I just think 405 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: this goes back to that issue we talked about the 406 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: very beginning to bring it back full circle. Any why 407 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 1: would anybody believe him even if he is saying spot 408 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: on it's true when there's so many unanswered questions. 409 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,959 Speaker 2: And by the way, that's completely different from what the 410 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: FA and the FBI briefed my staff where they said 411 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 2: they were manned aircraft. So now John Kirby is standing 412 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 2: up saying their drones, which is it? Like what is 413 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 2: When you have multiple and conflicting answers, people naturally distrust them, 414 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:59,959 Speaker 2: and it's why you get lots and lots of conspiracy theories. 415 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 2: But part of the problem with conspiracy theories is everything 416 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 2: we're told is a conspiracy. Six months later, proove's true. 417 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: Speaking of conspiracy theories, at six months ago, they said 418 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,480 Speaker 1: we're not real, or five months or four months or 419 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: three months, even two months ago, and then it becomes real. 420 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: That brings me to the second big topic that we 421 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: mentioned earlier, and let's go back to Colorado. Let's go 422 00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: back to what the White House and the media said. 423 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,679 Speaker 1: They said that it was not happening, that there were 424 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: not gangs that had been taking over apartment complexes and 425 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 1: running these criminal gangs out of them in Aurora, Colorado. 426 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: They said this was a lie, that it wasn't true. 427 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: Then they said, well, it's only happening in a couple 428 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 1: of them, not that many, so it's not a big deal. 429 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 1: They changed their story again, and now we were right 430 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 1: all along a legal alien invasion in Colorado. Number one 431 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: is real and number two, you have fourteen detained in Aurora, 432 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Colorado in a horrific home invasion that are likely illegal 433 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 1: gang members. Police are now staying saying when individuals were 434 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: not only taken, but they were tortured. Well. 435 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 2: Martha Radits at ABC dismissed this, said, oh, it's only 436 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: a handful of apartment complexes, which with the classic contempt 437 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: of the elite left looking down on little people that 438 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 2: live in apartment buildings who are being terrorized. But this 439 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 2: story broke this week, the headline from Fox News fourteen 440 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 2: detained in armed Aurora, Colorado home invasion are likely illegal 441 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: gang members. Home invasion occurred at the edge at Lowry apartments, 442 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 2: where viral video showed gang members earlier this year. So 443 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: the media tell told us don't believe your lying eyes. 444 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 2: Oddly enough, the same thing they're saying about the drone 445 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: sightings of the sky. But here's what Fox reported. 446 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 3: Quote. 447 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 2: Police at Aurora, Colorado say the overnight armed home invasion 448 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 2: at a local apartment complex that resulted in fourteen suspects 449 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: being detained was quote, without question, a gang incident. Just 450 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 2: before two thirty am on Tuesday, police were called to 451 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 2: the edge of Lowery apartments for a reported armed home 452 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,359 Speaker 2: invasion in which the victims were kidnapped and assaulted, the 453 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: Aurora Police said. Aurora Police Department Chief Todd Chamberlain said 454 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 2: during the Tuesday news conference that thirteen to fifteen people, 455 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,239 Speaker 2: mostly males with some females, entered an apartment where two 456 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 2: people were inside. Police say the suspects took the migrant 457 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 2: victims to another apartment at the same location, where the 458 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: victims were threatened and bound. One of the victims, a man, 459 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,679 Speaker 2: sustained a stab wound but is expected to survive. Police 460 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 2: said both of the victims are still at the hospital 461 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 2: for treatment for their injuries. At some point, authority said, 462 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 2: the suspects released the victims, who the called nine one 463 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: one quote they were pistol whipped, they were beat they 464 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 2: were mistreated. Chamberlain said, so does that fall in the 465 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 2: category of torture for me? Yeah, it does. That's the 466 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: chief of police in Aurora, Colorado. And and he went 467 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 2: on to say, quote, this is without question a gang incident. 468 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: I don't know which gang they're affiliated with yet. Chamberlain 469 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,480 Speaker 2: said that quote, there is a high assumption that they 470 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 2: may be affiliated with the TDA, the trender Aragua gang, 471 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,880 Speaker 2: but he stopped short of declaring which gang in particular 472 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 2: was involved because he could not be certain. At this time, 473 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 2: we were told this wasn't true, and yet it is true. 474 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: Well, and let's go back to Martha Raddick because this 475 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: was when she was getting into it on the with JD. 476 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 1: Vance on this issue. And I want you to hear 477 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: what she had to say. And again, this is goes 478 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: back to the lies when people don't trust the media 479 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: or the government when they lie. 480 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 6: To us, stop you. The incidents were limited to a 481 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 6: handful of apartment CONFLX apartment complexes, and the mayor said, 482 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 6: our dedicated police officers have acted on those concerns a 483 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 6: handful of problems. 484 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 3: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? Only a handful of 485 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 3: apartment complexes in America were taken over by Venezuelan gangs, 486 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 3: and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris's 487 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 3: open border. Americans are so fed up with what's going on, 488 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 3: and they have every right to be. 489 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,120 Speaker 1: By the way, if it's your apartment complex, I think 490 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 1: it is a big deal when you have it being 491 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: taken over by the government. 492 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: Stop lives in opulence. She's a multi millionaire. It's not 493 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 2: her problem. Her home wasn't taken over by Venezuelan gang, 494 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: so why should she possibly be concerned? And listen that 495 00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 2: liberal contempt for ordinary Americans is a big part of 496 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: the reason we saw the overwhelming election results we did 497 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: in November. 498 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: I want to take just a moment and talk real 499 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,119 Speaker 1: quick about IFCJ. The Christmas in Honika season is a 500 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: time of hope and peace for many of us, but 501 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 1: for those in Israel facing this ongoing war, it is 502 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 1: a time of fear and uncertainty. The hardships are felt 503 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: by everyone, with many people struggling to afford food and 504 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 1: basic necessities now during this holiday season, many living through 505 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: the war in the Holy Land are grieving the loss 506 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 1: of loved ones, while also enduring isolation and hunger. We 507 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: must not let them feel forgotten by the rest of 508 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: the world. And that's why I'm partnering with the International 509 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. Your special holiday gift to 510 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 1: the Fellowship helps provide a Hanukkah box filled with basic 511 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: necessities and essentials to bring nourishment, warmth, and comfort to 512 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: someone who is actually in real need right now in Israel. 513 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: So get the gift of hope and answered prayers as 514 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: holiday season. Go to support IFCJ dot org to donate now, 515 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: that's support IFCJ dot org alltogether, or you can call 516 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:14,080 Speaker 1: them at eight eight eight for eight eight IFCJ that's 517 00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 1: eighty eight four eight eight four three two five. Finally, Senator, 518 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,120 Speaker 1: I want to get to this other issue, and that 519 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: is uh, there's a study that has come out. It's 520 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: really shocking, and it is one where I guess you 521 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: call it a poll that young people in this country 522 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: actually are understanding of the assassin in New York City 523 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: who killed the healthcare CEO, saying it's almost justifiable that 524 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: this is happening to people that work in industries they 525 00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: don't like. 526 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is really stunning. So Emerson College put out 527 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: a poll, uh and they polled people's attitudes towards the 528 00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 2: Healthcare CEO assassination. Here's what they concluded. Quote, a majority 529 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 2: of voters, sixty eight percent think the actions of the 530 00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 2: killer of the United Healthcare CEO, Brian Thompson, are unacceptable. 531 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 2: So I want you to pause and think about that. 532 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,800 Speaker 2: Only sixty eight percent of Americans think it is unacceptable 533 00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 2: to murder someone in cold blood. Seventeen percent find the 534 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 2: actions acceptable murdering someone in cold blood, mind you, while 535 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 2: sixteen percent are unsure. Now, if you break it down 536 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: a little more, here's what Emerson College continues. Quote, While 537 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: sixty eight percent of voters overall reject the killer's actions, 538 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 2: younger voters and Democrats are more split. Forty one percent 539 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:52,720 Speaker 2: of voters aged eighteen to twenty nine find the killer's 540 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:59,120 Speaker 2: actions acceptable, while forty percent find them unacceptable. So, according 541 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 2: to Emerson College goles, more young people age eighteen to 542 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 2: twenty nine find the cold blooded murder of this CEO 543 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 2: acceptable then find it unacceptable, And it's forty one percent 544 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 2: to forty If you break down that forty one percent, 545 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 2: twenty four percent say it is somewhat acceptable and seventeen 546 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 2: percent say it is completely acceptable. Yes, murder a CEO. 547 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 2: We've been trained like good little Marxists. Shoot them now. 548 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,680 Speaker 2: By the way, if you break it down on party lines, 549 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,959 Speaker 2: twenty two percent of Democrats find them acceptable, while fifty 550 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: nine percent find them unacceptable. So over a fifth of 551 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 2: Democrats think it's perfectly fine to murder a CEO, to 552 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 2: murder a man in cold blood, to shoot him in 553 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 2: the back. And the comparison among Republicans, twelve percent of 554 00:30:54,440 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 2: Republicans find the actions acceptable and sixteen percent of independence 555 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: find the actions acceptable. I got to say, a look 556 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,520 Speaker 2: of all of those polls, the one that is the 557 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 2: most horrifying is forty one percent of young people find 558 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,560 Speaker 2: the killer's actions acceptable and only forty percent find them unacceptable. 559 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: So a plurality of young people say, hey, no problem, 560 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 2: murder someone who's a CEO. That is as stunning an 561 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 2: indictment of the brainwashing that young people are receiving in school, 562 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 2: in K through twelve, education in colleges and universities and 563 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: through the media as anything I've ever seen. 564 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: It is then indoctrination. And it's also I think the 565 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: radical left taking over education where and they're normalizing it. 566 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 1: It's what you and I talked about on this podcast 567 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. The left has normalized the 568 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: idea of assassinating people you disagree with who are in 569 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: positions of power and giving you reason to believe that 570 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: it is justifiable. 571 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: And remember Joy Bihar on the view said it was 572 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 2: terrible that I said it was leftists who are saying this. Well, 573 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: look that polling data shows it's Democrats and it's young. 574 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 2: It doesn't break it down by liberal or conservative. But 575 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 2: I am very confident a significant percentage of those young 576 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: people that think it's acceptable would also identify as leftists. 577 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,640 Speaker 2: And we know that young people skew further left anyway. 578 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: This is look, let me repeat what ought to be 579 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: a simple proposition. Murder is always, always, always wrong, whether 580 00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: you like the person or not. And by the way, 581 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 2: all the people who think the murder of this CEO 582 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,959 Speaker 2: is so horrible they don't know anything about him. They 583 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 2: don't know about any health care clim claims. He denied 584 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,360 Speaker 2: he was CEO of a major healthcare insurance company. Now, 585 00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,480 Speaker 2: I get a lot of people don't like insurance companies. 586 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 2: I've got issues with insurance companies, but this guy may 587 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 2: be a wonderful human being. We don't know. He was 588 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 2: a father of two teenage kids. He was murdered in 589 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 2: cold blood, and yet according to this poll, forty one 590 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: percent of young people think perfectly okay to murder him. 591 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,720 Speaker 2: That is, we need to see people speaking out and 592 00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 2: saying this is wrong, period the end. Not like and 593 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 2: when we cover this in Monday's podcast, not like Elizabeth 594 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,360 Speaker 2: Warren and Bernie Sanders and AOC murder is wrong, but 595 00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 2: it's okayar I understand it here. People can only be 596 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,800 Speaker 2: pushed so far. No murder is wrong, period the end. 597 00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 2: That would actually be a good and sensible and moral 598 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:35,640 Speaker 2: and reasonable position and what was understood throughout American history, 599 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:42,160 Speaker 2: at least in modern times. But for the cultural Marxist 600 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 2: murder of the enemy. 601 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,800 Speaker 1: No problem, Yeah, no problem at all. Don't forget.
