1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:01,600
Speaker 1: Welcome.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz, the Week in Review,

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the big stories

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: that you may have missed that we talked about this week.

5
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 2: First up, Democrats continue to threaten conservatives with violence if

6
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 2: you disagree with them. So is this basically the Democrat

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: political playbook? We break it down for you. Also, Donald

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 2: Trump making good on a promise that if you are

9
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: a pro Hamas terrorist protester on a college campus, well

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: there's a very good chance you're going to get deported.

11
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: And finally, foreign cash is pouring into universities, So what

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 2: is the payback and why are these universities willing to

13
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: take so much money from shady countries. We'll break it

14
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 2: down for you. It's the Week in Review and it

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: starts right now. All right, so center, there's been a

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 2: lot of violence. We've witnessed this. It's been directed towards

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: Elon Musk. Threats against Elon Musk, threats now are expanding

18
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: to Tesla dealers were finding in scenerary devices bombs and

19
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: dealership for example in Austin, Texas. And then there's people

20
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: now they're threatening you. This seems to be the Democratic

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: party's playbook. Now, if there's someone we don't like, we

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: go after them, We go after their businesses, We try

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: to destroy what they built, We try to financially ruin him.

24
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: All of this what they did to Donald Trump. And

25
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: we saw that the rhetoric literally almost cost Donald Trump's

26
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 2: life in that first assassination attempt that actually got him.

27
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: And now they don't seem to be backing down at all.

28
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Well, the Democrats today are the party of rage, the

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: party of anger. And I will say there's a house

30
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: member in Texas, Jasmine Crockett, who this week has been

31
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: a rough week for she has been unhinged. She has

32
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: called for violence against me. She has denigrated and mocked

33
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott, the governor of Texas, because he is in

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: a wheel wheelchair, because he has a disability. And it

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: really does show who today's Democrats are. And I want

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: you to listen to what she said, first about me

37
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,919
Speaker 1: and then about Greg Abbott.

38
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: Give a listen, just in case the slow people listening

39
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 3: decide to click this up later. I just want to

40
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 3: say that I have never promoted violence whatsoever. I think

41
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 3: that you punch, I think you punch. I think you're

42
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 3: okay with you okay with punching, you know, I think,

43
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: and I love Colin, and I think towards the end

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: he started to punch a little harder. But like it's

45
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 3: sad grouse. I mean, like this dude has to be

46
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 3: knocks over the head like hard, right, Like there is

47
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 3: no niceties with him, like at all, Like you you

48
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: go clean off on him, right.

49
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: I hear that, and I just shake my head center

50
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: because of course, when the fire is of the spotlight

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: is on her, she's like, oh, I've never called for violence,

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 2: and then you play the clip right there, it's very

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: clear what she's saying.

54
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Look, I gotta admit I've never met the woman, Jasmine Crockett.

55
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: I don't know her. She's a new congresswoman from Texas.

56
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: She seems really angry, she seems really radical. She seems

57
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: to be the darling of the radical left because she

58
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: calls for crazy things. I will tell you, Look, I've

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: been this senate thirteen years. One of it's an incredible privilege.

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm blessed. I jump out of bed every day excited

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: because I get to fight for Texas, I get to

62
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: fight for America. I will tell you. One of the

63
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: downsides of this job. I have literally hundreds of death

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: threats against me.

65
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 2: And by the way, I'm going to be quar you

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: and I we spend a lot of time together, we travel.

67
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people that come up and encourage.

68
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: But man, some of these things that people say. And

69
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: I've had the threats, not like you've had threats, but

70
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 2: it's like part of the business now. Which is the

71
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: worst part about it is that if you're in politics

72
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: and you're conservative, there are people that want you to

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: die and come atter you. But you and I we

74
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: went to a game and people were screaming the F

75
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: bomb in front of your daughter who was with us,

76
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 2: And there was several times that happened, and it's like

77
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 2: there is no just like you're a dad in that moment,

78
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: you're a father. I'm a dad. When I'm out my

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: son and someone gets to my face of the HGB

80
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: and start screaming exers at me in a cerial io,

81
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: It's like, what is wrong with these people? And yet

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: it seems to be getting worse, not better.

83
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, there are a lot of people that are

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: just unhinged and filled with hate. And I'll tell you look,

85
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: Hevian encouragement listen. The folks that listen to verdict, you

86
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: guys are amazing. I'm so grateful for you. You're incredibly

87
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: engaged and you're passionate, and you're fighting to save this country.

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: I will tell you, when I travel around, the ratio

89
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: of positive to negative comments, it is more than ninety

90
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: percent positive. It's probably ninety five percent or even ninety

91
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: eight percent positive. So it's encouraging. When I'm out at air,

92
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: when I'm out at a shopping mall, people say nice things.

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: They say thank you, they say that I appreciate you,

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: and that's gratifying that that makes me happy. There are

95
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: regularly people who don't, and people on the left. Now,

96
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: I got to say, many of them on the left,

97
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: when they say something negative, they'll like screw up their

98
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: courage that they'll run up and they'll go f you

99
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: and they'll just you like yell at me. And it's

100
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: very funny. It's like, wow, you spent a long time

101
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 1: thinking about that. That was the best you could come

102
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: up with. That was very clever. And my standard response,

103
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: and unfortunately it happens often enough that I have to

104
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: have a standard response. My standard response is I say God,

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: bless you. And I got to tell you, it infuriates them.

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a principle in the Bible that

107
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: if you repay hatred with kindness, that it is like

108
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: piling hot coals on their heads. So I'll say God

109
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: bless you, and I'll smile, I'll be very happy. Like

110
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: when they say f you, my response is God bless you.

111
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: And there was one time in Houston where this this

112
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: like liberal woman screamed f you and I said God

113
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: bless you. And she's like, I don't want your God's

114
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: love and I said that's okay, Jesus loves you anyway.

115
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: And it drove her nuts, like like she almost had

116
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: an aneurysm when I said that. And I try to

117
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: be smiling and show a contrast. And I will say,

118
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: just a couple of days ago, I had a young

119
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: woman who was screaming F you, and I did say

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: something to the effect of your very charming, your mother,

121
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: but it must be very proud. How'd that turn out?

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 3: Oh?

123
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 1: She just stormed off. And I'm sure as she was

124
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: driving home she's thought of fifty different responses, but she

125
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: didn't say any of them. She's just like, yeah, I

126
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: randomly scream a few at people at the airport. I'm

127
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: a great person, but listen, when you have people on

128
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: the left encouraging listen, Jasmine is saying you need to

129
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: hit him in the head and hit him really hard.

130
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, Ben, I really hope someone doesn't hit

131
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: me in the head really hard, like I would prefer

132
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: not to have my brain smashed in.

133
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: This is the part where I think it's a bigger

134
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: issue that concerns me. It's the dog whistles that come

135
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: from the leadership.

136
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: By the way, Democratic Party, Donald trumpsh in your face.

137
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: You had two assassins who tried to kill him. Yeah,

138
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 4: We've got Democrats who are fire bombing Tesla and radical

139
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: leftists and no Democrat is condemning it. They are calling

140
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 4: for violence. These are the same people that had Antifa

141
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 4: and Black Lives Matter riots and and so the threat

142
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 4: of violence is very real. We had at the at

143
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 4: the baseball practice, we had a radical leftist, a Bernie

144
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 4: Sanders supporter, who came and said he asked someone, hey,

145
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: are those Republicans there? They said yes, he came with

146
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 4: a rifle and shot people and and had it was

147
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 4: pure happenstance that Steve Scalise, who was a member of

148
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 4: House Leadership.

149
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Was there because he had a security detail, and that

150
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 1: security detail shot and killed this radical leftist. If let's

151
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: say Scalise had been ten minutes late that morning, let's

152
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: say he'd been delayed, he'd been taking his kids to school,

153
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: he'd been doing something else, and he was delayed, that

154
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: radical leftist would have murdered over a dozen House members

155
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: and two US senators. We came incredibly close to a

156
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 1: massacre because of the active solicitation of violence. And let

157
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: me be clear, this is on one side the leftist

158
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: calling for violence. I categorically opposed violence. I don't want

159
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: anyone to engage in violence against leftists. I'm not calling

160
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: for this nutcase Jasmine Crockett to face the violence. No, no, no, now.

161
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: I think her views are anathema and wan you to

162
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: play what she said like a day or two later

163
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: attacking Greg Abbott, because it is equally not just listen

164
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: to this.

165
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 3: We in these hot ass Texas streets, Honey, y'all know

166
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 3: we got govinal hot wheels down there. Come on now,

167
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: and the only thing hot about him is that he

168
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 3: is a hot ass mess. Honey, So so yes, yes, yes.

169
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 2: Yes, I mean you listen to that. It's like, one,

170
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 2: what do you think is going to come of that?

171
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: The other thing is the backdrop behind her is she's

172
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: literally speaking at the Human Rights Campaign and that's what

173
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 2: she's preaching and people are laughing and clapping as she's

174
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 2: on stage four again.

175
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: But by the way, it can't be do you do

176
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: you know why Greg Abbott is in a wheelchair?

177
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 3: Yeah?

178
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 2: It was, if I remember the story correctly, he was

179
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: running at the park in a random tree limb. I

180
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: fell on his head and paralyzed.

181
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: It broke his back. And I'll tell you I worked

182
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: for him five and a half years. Gray Abbott is

183
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: a dear friend. He's been a boss, a mentor, and

184
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: he would tell a joke, Like when I first went

185
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: to work for him, he would tell a joke. He'd

186
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: get up and say, Okay, I know what you're thinking,

187
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: how slow was that guy running to get hit by

188
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: a tree? And like the first time he jokes about it,

189
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: you're not sure what to say, like, wait, am I

190
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: allowed to laugh about it? And he would he would

191
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: tell jokes about it, and you could be like, okay,

192
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean I guess if you can joke about it.

193
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: I can laugh about it, but you know it was tragic.

194
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: And he's been paralyzed for twenty plus maybe thirty plus years,

195
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: a long time in a wheelchair, and she's sitting there

196
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: at supposedly the Human Rights Campaign. Now it's a leftist,

197
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:53,760
Speaker 1: radical group that is obsessed with LGBT. I mean, that's

198
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: really what they exist. But they're cheering, yes, Governor hot wheels,

199
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: he's disabled to a wheelchair, ha ha. What the hell's

200
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: wrong with these people? I mean that is that is

201
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: nasty and hateful and it's whose today's Democrat Party is.

202
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 2: Now. If you want to hear the rest of this conversation,

203
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast

204
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, Senator,

205
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: I want to move to the other story that you

206
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, and this goes in the category of promises

207
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: made promises cap for Donald Trump. Another pro Haamas protester

208
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: is in serious trouble after his actions on a college campus.

209
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: This is making liberal heads explode. But that's exactly what

210
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: the President said he was going to do, and he's

211
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 2: making good on that promise yet again.

212
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: Well, and this is something we discussed in the podcast

213
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: You and I did at Seapack while we interviewed Pam Bondi,

214
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: and we talked about the fact that the Trump administration

215
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: is going to go after these radical anti Semitic, anti American,

216
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: anti is protesters and if you threaten violence against fellow

217
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: students or if you are attacking America, you have no

218
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: entitlement to be allowed into this country. And it's interesting

219
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: you're seeing Democrats who are have suddenly discovered free speech.

220
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: Mind you, when it comes to Americans speaking, they don't

221
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: give a damn about free speech. When it comes to

222
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: big tech censoring you, they don't care about free speech.

223
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: American citizens have no First Amendment rights, and the Democrats

224
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: bizarre lexicon. But if you are a vicious anti Semite,

225
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: if you hate America, if you hate Israel, and you're

226
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: not an American, well then suddenly they think you're protected.

227
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: And it is insane. So the latest radical who had

228
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: his visa revoked is a student at Cornell and he's

229
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: an individual named Momodo Tal. Now Momodo Tal, according to

230
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: the Washington Free Beacon, is a graduate student who has

231
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: called for the destruction of the United States, has celebrated

232
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: the October seventh attacks by a Hamas and has said

233
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 1: that he takes his quote c from the armed resistance

234
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: in Palestine. Now, who is Mammado Tal. He is a

235
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 1: British and Gambian dual national, so he's not an American.

236
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: And he began studying in Cornell twenty twenty two on

237
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: an F one student visa. That student visa has been revoked.

238
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: Good and Tall received an email from the Department of

239
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: Justice that said ICE invites mister Tall and his counsel

240
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: to appear in person at the HSI office in Syracuse

241
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 1: at a mutually agreeable time for personal service of the

242
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: notice to appear and for mister Tall to surrender to

243
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: ICE custody. And of course what did Tall do? He

244
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: engaged in law far and wet and filed a lawsuits

245
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: seeking to block it. Now what has Tall said? Tall

246
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:07,080
Speaker 1: has said, Number one, He's called on fellow student protesters

247
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,239
Speaker 1: to take their cues from the arm resistance in Palestine,

248
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: armed by the way, not just resistance, armed resistance. He

249
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: has also said, quote, we are in solidarity with the

250
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: arm resistance in Palestine from the river to the sea.

251
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: He also said just after October seventh, hours after he

252
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: said quote. The dialect demands that whenever, wherever you have oppression,

253
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: you will find those who are fighting against it. Glory

254
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 1: to the resistance. Now the dialect. Look, this guy is

255
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: a communist, he's a Marxist. We talked about how cultural

256
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: Marxism they divide the world into oppressors and victims, and

257
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: they actively cheer on the violent revolution of the so

258
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: called victims against the so called oppressors. Now this is

259
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: ours after October seventh. This is as women and little

260
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: girls are being raped, as twelve hundred civilians are being murdered.

261
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: And here is what he's saying. The dialect demands that

262
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: wherever you have oppression, you will find those who are

263
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: fighting against it. Glory to the resistance. That's not all

264
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: he said. When he applied for his student visa, he wrote, quote,

265
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: and this is on Twitter, the end of the US

266
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: Empire in our lifetime in Shalla. Months later, the idiots

267
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: and the Biden administration gave him his student visa, and

268
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: he wrote, student visa issued. We are going to America,

269
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: baby alham di lula. I don't know what that means,

270
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: but I'm guessing it is not nice. Shortly thereafter, he tweeted,

271
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: my hatred of the US empire knows no bound walahai.

272
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 4: Again.

273
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but I'm guessing again

274
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: it is celebrating against America. Hit one other thing, he

275
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: posted quote when the enemy is US imperialism, then absolutely

276
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: anyone the US calls an enemy is my friend. Let

277
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: me be clear, this anti American, anti Semitic radical who

278
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: hates America needs to get the hell out of our country.

279
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: He has no entitlement to be here, and we have

280
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: no obligation. We have no legal obligation, We have no

281
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: constitutional obligation, and we certainly have no moral obligation to say, hey,

282
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: people who hate America, people who say quote anyone who

283
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: calls the US an enemy is my friend. You know what,

284
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: if that's true, get your ass out of this country.

285
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: We don't need you here threatening Americans.

286
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 2: It really is about threatening Americans and threatening kids on

287
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: college campuses. And we've seen anti semitism, for example, that

288
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 2: is just skyrocket on college campuses, and a lot of

289
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 2: this is well organized. We continue to see that a

290
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 2: lot of these agitators and protesters are acting in groups

291
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 2: and pre planning this around the country, and that has

292
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 2: to be very concerning. I think not only for college students,

293
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: but especially for students that are Jewish, but really concerning

294
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: for I think everyday Americans understand that we've been allowing

295
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 2: these people in and this is what they're doing.

296
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: And understand the threats. Let me read you another tweet

297
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 1: that he sent quote, we are actually living in an

298
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: effing alternative reality, although he did not abbreviate fing Zionists

299
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: living comfortably in the US and Zionist Jewish students at

300
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: Ivy League institutions are claiming to be unsafe, scared, and

301
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: somehow everyone is calling for their genocide, whilst in four

302
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: K we are witnessing a genocide of the Palestinian people,

303
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: and many of these same folks who claim to feel

304
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: scared are cheering on the action of the IOF BFFR.

305
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means. Every single Zionist is

306
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: a sick, sick individual, and there can be no path

307
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: forward except for the complete eradication of Zionism materially and mentally.

308
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: And then he tweets a little bit later, Zionists are

309
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: indeed the chosen people chosen for Hell. Now understand one

310
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,200
Speaker 1: game that anti Semites play which is many times they

311
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: use the word Zionist when what they mean is Jew

312
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: and they just think it's It's like, oh, I'm pretending

313
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: to be slightly less bigoted by calling it Zionists. Look,

314
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: they consider an any Actually, at one point says Zionist

315
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: slash Jewish students. This is an anti Semite who hates

316
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: Jews and who is calling for the complete eradication of Zionism,

317
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: by which he means the pleat eradication of Jews. And

318
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: he says they are the chosen people, they are chosen

319
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: for Hell. This is a bigot who hates America. And

320
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: you know what was happening after the Trump administration moved

321
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: to deport this radical leftists were protesting in support of him.

322
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: And by the way, have you heard a single Democrat

323
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: in the Senate speak out in favor of revoking his visa. No,

324
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: you had left wing activists on Cornell protesting his deportation

325
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 1: on Thursday and they were chanting hands off MoMA do

326
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: waving signs opposing mass deportation. Listen, any reporter, every reporter

327
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: ought to asked the democrats, do you believe we have

328
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: to give student visas to people who say their enemies

329
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: of America and hate America. It's there's no legal basis

330
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: for that. And I have yet to see a Democrat

331
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 1: explain why they cheer on pro Hamas radicals. But I

332
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: got to say, let's say you're a moderate Democrat but

333
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: not swept up in the sort of Trump derangement syndrome anger.

334
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: You got to ask why Washington Democrats when they look

335
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,159
Speaker 1: at October seventh, when they look at the radicals on campuses,

336
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: why the Democrats say we stand with Hamas and we

337
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: stand with the pro Hamas protesters. That's got to make

338
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: you wonder what the heck has happened to the Democrat

339
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: Party as before.

340
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation

341
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: on this topic, you can go back and dow the

342
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 2: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.

343
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: I want to get back to the big story number

344
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 2: three of the week you may have missed, which brings

345
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 2: me to story number three, and this is one where

346
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: we have I think led on exposing the amount of

347
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: foreign money that's been pouring into universities. We also exposed

348
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: it with a Biden crime family and the amount of

349
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: foreign dours coming in to the Biden Institute, for example,

350
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: and other universities. And we've witnessed the amount of money

351
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 2: coming in to a point where you say, this doesn't

352
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: make sense economically. This is my opinion. I think now

353
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: you're looking at a bigger issue, which is what are

354
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: they actually getting in return for the staggering amounts of

355
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 2: foreign money that's pouring these universities. Is this covert ops

356
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: by foreign nations? Is this trying to control the next

357
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,239
Speaker 2: generation of American minds? Is this about spying? What is it?

358
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: But when you look at this new report from a

359
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,119
Speaker 2: nonprofit and a non person government watchdog group, they're sounding

360
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 2: the alarm saying this amount of money coming in is

361
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 2: not just from do gooders. This money's coming in, It's

362
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 2: coming in for something big center. What is that?

363
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, look, this is not covert, It is overt, is open,

364
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: is out and breezen. So the historian Fox News entitled

365
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 1: quote new report sounds alarm on staggering amount of foreign

366
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: money pouring into US universities. The report says that seven

367
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety five million dollars has gone from foreign

368
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: adversaries to American universities. And here's what the article says,

369
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm going to quote a little bit of it. Quote.

370
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: A new report from a nonprofit and nonpartisan government watchdog

371
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: is shedding light on the tens of billions of dollars

372
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: tens of billions that have poured into US universities in

373
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: recent years, including twenty billion dollars to some of the

374
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: most prestigious universities in the country. The report, produced by

375
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Americans for Public Trust and released this week, found that

376
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 1: sixty billion dollars again, sixty billion dollars in foreign gifts

377
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: and contracts were funneled into American colleges and universities, including

378
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: twenty billion dollars alone to elite sks like Harvard, Yale,

379
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: and others. Within that total, seven hundred and ninety five

380
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: million dollars came from nations that are long standing adversaries

381
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:14,919
Speaker 1: to the United States, including China, Russia, Venezuela, and Yemen.

382
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: This is shocking, It is fundamental corruption. I can tell

383
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: you I've introduced legislation to require to minimum that universities

384
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: report every dollar of foreign money they receive so that

385
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: we have scrutiny. And I'll tell you, Ben, one of

386
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:30,439
Speaker 1: the very first pieces of legislation ever passed when I

387
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: was a brand new baby centator thirteen years ago, was

388
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: dealing with this issue of foreign money flooding into universities,

389
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: and China had been funding these things called Confucius Institutes

390
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: confuseds insitutes were institutes on American college campuses that taught Mandarin,

391
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: that taught the Chinese language, and they were used number

392
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: one as hubs of espionage where China would send spies

393
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: to engage in espionage in the United States, and number

394
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,679
Speaker 1: two two as tools of propaganda, where they would push

395
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: propaganda that was favorable to the Chinese communist government. And

396
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: when I was a brand new baby senator, I introduced

397
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 1: legislation that banned any money from the Federal Department of

398
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: Defense going to university that had a Confucius Institute. And

399
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: at the time they introduced it, we had a Democrat Senate.

400
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: When I got elected Harry Reid as majority leader, the

401
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: Democrats were in the majority. I was on the Senate

402
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Armed Services Committee. I introduced this amendment, and Ben I'll

403
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: tell you I got bipartisan support. I got Democrats to

404
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: support me and Republicans. We passed it into law, and

405
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: the legislation I passed resulted in more than twenty Confucius

406
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: institutes across the country being shut down. This was a

407
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 1: problem back in twenty thirteen, I got to say, in

408
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,439
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, it's much much worse.

409
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 2: So what is the government's response now? What should the

410
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 2: government response be moving forward? And is it time to

411
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,959
Speaker 2: actually look at these universities and ask questions or have

412
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 2: regulations about money coming in from foreign countries, especially those

413
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: that are adversaries of the United States of America. I

414
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: don't like government overreach, I want to make that clear.

415
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: But the wild wild West that we're we're looking at

416
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: right now from this report and sixty billion and foreign

417
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 2: gifts and contracts are funneled to American colleges and universities

418
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 2: like that, they're getting something in return. Twenty billion a

419
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 2: loan to Harvard, Yale and other elite schools, they're getting

420
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: something in return. And if they're buying the minds of

421
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 2: American students or influence or even what worries me the

422
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: most is stealing intellectual property or spying on America and

423
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:48,959
Speaker 2: future leaders. This scares the hell out of me. So

424
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: what should the government's response be?

425
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, all of the above. So they're doing

426
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: this to buy influence. They're doing this to push propaganda,

427
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: They're doing this to engage at espionage, they're doing this

428
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: to steal intellectual property, and so many of our universities,

429
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: especially our elite universities, have eagerly jumped in bed with them. Look,

430
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: you and I discussed early on in the wake of

431
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: October seventh, when the anti Semitic protests were breaking out,

432
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 1: if you look at the universities with the highest percentage

433
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 1: of foreign students, it almost perfectly maps to the universities

434
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: with the most the most virulent, the most nasty anti

435
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,160
Speaker 1: Semitic protests. Universities like Columbian NYU are at the very

436
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 1: top of the list. And when you let in a

437
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 1: bunch of foreign students. Now, look, universities like foreign students

438
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: because they pay full tuition, they pay full freight. They're

439
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: cash cows. But why are American universities and in the

440
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: business of educating foreigners, especially foreigners who hate American or

441
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: undermining America. I don't see a reason for that. But

442
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: not only that, but they're pushing this to drive a

443
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: political agenda. And so what should we do? Number One,

444
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: we need transparency. As I mentioned, I've introduced legislation to

445
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: require transparency. If a university is getting money from a

446
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: foreign country, we need to know about it, how much

447
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 1: from which country? And I'll tell you the legislation I'm

448
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 1: introducing puts putative tax penalties if you get money from

449
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 1: a country that is an enemy of America. In my

450
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: view of the federal government ought to put penalties in

451
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: place where you end up being taxed more than you get.

452
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: We don't need the enemies of America funding our universities

453
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,719
Speaker 1: and actively undermining our education. We need leaders who are

454
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,479
Speaker 1: willing to stand up for America first, and I think

455
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: that's incredibly important.

456
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: If you look at the money that came in a

457
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 2: perfect example of this is within that total I gave

458
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: you the twenty billion alone going to those elite schools,

459
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 2: seven hundred and ninety five million came from nations that

460
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 2: are long standing advisaris in the US, including China, Russia, Venezuela,

461
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 2: and Yemen. Is it also time to look at certain

462
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 2: countries and say you can't have donations coming in from there.

463
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: Yes, and we ought to penalize the hell out of it.
