1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:01,520 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 2: It is a verdict with Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, 3 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,560 Speaker 2: and it's really nice to have you with us wherever 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 2: you are around the country. We've got a lot to 5 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: unpack on this show, Senator, including a new smoking gun. 6 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 2: The Russian hoax exposed even more, and we're being told 7 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 2: now that Hillary Clinton apparently greenlit the entire idea to 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 2: hide her email scandal, and declassified documents are now showing 9 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,320 Speaker 2: exactly that well. 10 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 3: Newly de classified documents show, as you noted, that Hillary 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 3: Clinton personally approved the Russia hoax and she did it 12 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 3: to distract from her own email scandal. She did it 13 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 3: with the complicity of the corporate media, and she did 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 3: it with the complicity of the FBI. These emails are 15 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 3: bombshell emails that show that George Soros and his foundation 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: was intimately involved in the entire operation and that this 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 3: was a lie from day one, and the political operators, 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: including Hillary Rodham Clinton, knew fully well that it was 19 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 3: a lie. On top of that, we had a vote 20 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 3: this week on Israel, and I will tell you every 21 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 3: day every week, the Democrats abandoning of the state of 22 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 3: Israel gets worse and worse and worse. This week, more 23 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 3: than half of the Senate Democrats voted to cut off 24 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: military funding for Israel. The degree to which today's Democrats 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 3: have been captured by the pro Hamas radical left wing 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 3: of their party continues to get worse, and it is 27 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: dismaying and sadly they were echoed by the governments of 28 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 3: Great Britain and France and Canada all this week. The 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 3: left has decided Hamas, they stand for Hamas, and they're 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: no longer willing to stand with Israel. And finally, a 31 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: new story about Harvard's tie ties to the Chinese Communist Party, 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 3: their explicit partnership with a major organ of the Chinese 33 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: Communist Party to train the leaders of China. The leaders 34 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 3: that are involved in horrific human rights abuses, the leaders 35 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 3: that are involved in the tyranny of the Chinese government 36 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 3: are more and more Harvard trained. We're gonna lay out 37 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: the evidence for that. 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it really is incredible.

And what was your initial reaction to Hillary 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: Clinton greenline this? It's like for me, I was like, Yep, 79 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 2: that makes sense, Yep, that adds up, Yep, that matches. 80 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 81 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 3: Look, the evidence has been coming over the last several weeks, 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 3: so Telsea Gabbard released significant evidence that the intelligence community 83 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: had been telling Barack Obama and the Obama administration that 84 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: Russia was not trying to hack the election. They'd been 85 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: doing that for months. We covered that on a previous pod. 86 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 3: And then this week the portions of the classified annex 87 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: of John Durham's Special Council investigation were released, and they 88 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 3: were released by my colleague Chuck Grassley, who was the 89 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 3: chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and I got to say, 90 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 3: it is stunning what is in these new lead to 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 3: classified documents. So they reveal quote confidential conversations between members 92 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 3: of the Democratic National Committee and Georgie Soros's Open Society 93 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 3: Foundation that occurred before the twenty sixteen election, and in particular, 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: accorded to the declassified files, Hillary Clinton personally approved a 95 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: plan that had been proposed by her foreign policy advisor, 96 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 3: woman named Julianne Smith, to quote smear Donald Trump by 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 3: magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion by the Russian 98 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: Special Services in the pre election process to benefit the 99 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: Republican candidate. And by the way, Julianne Smith was later 100 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: appointed to serve as ambassador to NATO under President Joe Biden. 101 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 3: So it turned out this was this was a profitable 102 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: role for her to be involved in this massive hoax. 103 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 3: There's an email in particular that is that is really remarkable. 104 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,839 Speaker 3: It was written by Open Society Foundation's senior vice president, 105 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,479 Speaker 3: a fellow named Leonard Bernardo, and it was dated July 106 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: twenty seventh, twenty sixteen. And here's what it says. Quote 107 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: hr R CHRC stands for Hillary Rodin. Clinton approved Julia's 108 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: idea about Trump and Russian hackers hampering US elections. This 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 3: is in July of twenty sixteen. That should distract people 110 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 3: from her own missing email, especially if the affair goes 111 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: to the Olympic level. And his email continues quote the 112 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 3: point is making the Russian play a US domestic issue 113 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 3: in absence of direct evidence. CrowdStrike and Threat Connect will 114 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 3: supply the media, and GRU which is the foreign intelligence 115 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: arm of Russia, will hopefully carry on to give more facts. 116 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 3: And Oka, I gotta say, this is Hillary explicitly signing 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: on and counting on, counting on the assistance. And then 118 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: he goes on to say he says that the Clinton 119 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 3: campaign's plan included quote raising the theme of Putin's support 120 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 3: for Trump and pushing public opinion to quote equote the 121 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: Russian leader's influence campaign with actual election infrastructure hacking, and 122 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: it involved distributing quote the necessary information through the FBI 123 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: affiliated technical structures, in particular the crowd strike and threat 124 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 3: Connect companies, from where the information would then be disseminated 125 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 3: through leading leading US opinion of publications. And that's another 126 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: email from Bernardo. And then the email predicts and this 127 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 3: is stunning that the FBI would quote put more oil 128 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: into the fire of the Russia collusion narrative. This was 129 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 3: an explicit plan by the Hillary Clinton campaign and by 130 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton herself to use the FBI to spread a 131 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: lie about Donald Trump. And it was in order to 132 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 3: try to win the election. And thank god, the American 133 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: people were not deceived and they elected Donald Trump over 134 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton. 135 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: When it went to the FBI, how they categorized at 136 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: the time the dossier and everything else. It was paid 137 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 2: for by Hillary Clinton, partially her campaign and then the 138 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: Democratic National Committee. They created it out of thin air, 139 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: and then they went to the FBI. And even the 140 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 2: FBI had classified, if I remember correctly, as quote user 141 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: generated and even offered. I think it was like a 142 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: million dollars to steal if he could verify any of 143 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: this dossier, which he never got paid on because he 144 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 2: couldn't do it well. 145 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: The Steele dossier was designed to be a lie, and 146 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 3: it was straight out opposition research. It was paid for 147 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 3: by the Hillary Clinton campaign. It was paid for by 148 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,679 Speaker 3: the DNC. They paid over a million dollars and and 149 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 3: and they hid the fees, uh that they they hid 150 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 3: them as quote legal fees to their law firms, Perkins cooy. 151 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: Uh. 152 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: They had five point six million in legal fees that 153 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 3: were paid in one bill and they they hid that 154 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 3: amount in there. And and once they created the Steele 155 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 3: dossier that just made blatant lies about Donald Trump, Uh, 156 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 3: they then gave it to the FBI, and and and 157 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 3: Obama DOJ and FBI officials were active in covering up 158 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: that this came from the Hillary Clinton campaign. And understand 159 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 3: this is during the presidential campaign, this is while the 160 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 3: campaign is in full speed. This this false oppo research document. 161 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 3: It was just concocted. It was just created out of 162 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: whole cloth. It became the basis for for then an 163 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: FBI investigation, and and that FBI investigation was then uh 164 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: eagerly leaked uh to the press, and the press breathlessly 165 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 3: reported on it. And the fact that the FBI would 166 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 3: investigating it took it as as confirmation that that that 167 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin was behind the Trump campaign and the entire 168 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 3: the entire operation was a deliberate and false, uh misleading campaign. 169 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: They that they they knew that it was. And and 170 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: you know, here's one thing John Solomon uh says about 171 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: the Durham Annix that just got released. Quote, this is 172 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 3: the smoking gun evidence inside the Durham Annics. If it 173 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 3: is authenticated by further investigation, it means liberal mega doner 174 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 3: George Soros's team knew the whole Clinton plan for Russia 175 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 3: Gate hoax four days before FBI opened up the probe, 176 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 3: and so did Obama, Brennan and Comy. This was a 177 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: deliberate lie, and everyone involved in it knew they were lying, 178 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 3: and they were lying, number one, because they wanted to 179 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 3: effectively steal the election, mislead the American people. And by 180 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 3: the way, the Washington Posts of the New York Times 181 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: both won Pulitzer Prizes for reporting on these lies, for 182 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 3: repeating these lies, for being an avenue of propaganda and disinformation. So, 183 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 3: of course the Washington Post and New York Times are 184 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: very reluctant to cover what's being released now because it 185 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 3: shows that they operated essentially as misinformation arms of the 186 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton campaign. They did it at first hoping to 187 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 3: win the election through deception, but then after the election 188 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: was over, after Donald Trump was elected to his first term, 189 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: they did it within the government to try to undermine 190 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,119 Speaker 3: the newly elected president of the United States. And understand 191 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: to do this it takes a real contempt not just 192 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 3: for the incoming president, it takes a contempt for the voters. 193 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: It takes a contempt for the democratic process. For someone 194 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 3: that's in a senior government position, whether at the FBI 195 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 3: or at the CIA or the Department of Justice, to say, 196 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: I don't care that the American people elected this president, 197 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: I don't like him, I disagree with him, and so 198 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm going to abuse my government position in order to 199 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 3: try to destroy the presidency from within. And this was 200 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 3: not accidental, This was not based on misunderstandings. This was 201 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 3: a deliberate lie, and they knew they were lying. 202 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: You look at this and you say, okay, this is 203 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: a massive scheme. Now the question is I go back 204 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 2: to it. I feel like I ask you this a 205 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 2: lot when we have these issues come out. Will there 206 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: be any accountability for this? We know that there's some 207 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 2: that were pardoned by Biden, for example, that there's the 208 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 2: question of was that the auto pen That doesn't come 209 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360 Speaker 2: into play here. With Hillary Clinton, there have been people saying, Wow, 210 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to get anything here 211 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: because it is what it is. Politics is dirty? Get 212 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: over it. Is this in the category of politics is dirty? 213 00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: Get over it? Or is there more there? 214 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: So look, I hope there is accountability. Pambondi, the Attorney General, 215 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 3: has created a strike force that is investigating these lies, 216 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 3: investigating this cover up. The challenge is going to be 217 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 3: the Statute of Limitations, and look at statutal limitations. It's 218 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: it's ordinarily for something like this five years. The Statute 219 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: Limitations is designed to stop prosecutors from bringing cases on 220 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 3: things that are many, many years decades old. And there 221 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 3: are a lot of reasons for that. But for most 222 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 3: of this conduct it has passed the Statute of limitation. 223 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 3: There's some exceptions. So for example, Andrew McCabe, the Deputy 224 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,559 Speaker 3: director of the FBI, lied to Congress and he did 225 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 3: so within the last five years. And so McCabe McCabe 226 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: of all of the players. Probably faces the greatest legal 227 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 3: jeopardy because he's got If it can be demonstrated that 228 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,200 Speaker 3: he deliberately lied to Congress under oath, that that is 229 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,479 Speaker 3: a felony that carries jail time with him with respect 230 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 3: to other conduct, other lies done under oath. If it 231 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 3: happened before the Statute of Limitations. The only way to 232 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 3: bring a prosecution is for the prosecutors to argue that 233 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,559 Speaker 3: the information was concealed and that told the Statute of limitations. 234 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 3: That's a plausible argument, but it's difficult to prove it's not. 235 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 3: Courts don't agree with that often, and so that makes 236 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 3: it more challenging to bring those cases. 237 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: So is this more of an issue now? Of all? Right? 238 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: The American people know they relied to they know that 239 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: there's corruptions at the highest level in our government. They 240 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 2: know that they did this while they were in power, 241 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: and they know they did to also cover up. And 242 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton has still not been held accountable. I mean, 243 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 2: some could argue maybe on election day when she's running 244 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 2: against Trump, but with the email scandal and the declassified documents, 245 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: you look at what she did compared to what they 246 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 2: rated Marlago over it is disgusting the abuse of power 247 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: by the Democratic Party over the last two administrations when 248 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 2: they've been in power. 249 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 3: It is And you look at a press release the 250 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: Hillary Clinton campaign put out and and it reads as follows, 251 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 3: quote Hillary for America a statement on US government formally 252 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 3: naming Russia responsible for election related hacks. John Podesta, chair 253 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 3: of Hillary for America, released the following statement Friday, quote, 254 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 3: the world now knows beyond a shadow of a doubt 255 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 3: that the hack of the Democratic National Committee was carried 256 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: out by the Russian government in a clear attempt to 257 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: interfere with the integrity of our elections. The only remaining 258 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 3: question is why Donald Trump continues to make apologies for 259 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 3: the Russians. Trump's initial reaction to the hack in July 260 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 3: was to invite further intrusions by the Russians, even after 261 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 3: he was reportedly briefs on the very findings that were 262 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: just publicly announced by the US government officials. He stood 263 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 3: on a debate stage one week ago and played dumb 264 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 3: about Russia's role in this hack. He has repeatedly praised 265 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 3: Vladimir Putin, outlined a list of pro Putin policies, and 266 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: has done hundreds of millions of dollars of business with 267 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 3: Russian interests. Every word of what that press release said 268 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 3: is false. They knew it was false, and they were 269 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 3: willing to campaign based on Lawe and Hillary Clinton, according 270 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 3: to this emails, personally approved those lies. 271 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: Senator, I want to get to this other big issue, 272 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 2: and that is Democrats are not just abandoning Israel. They 273 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: are straight up anti Israel, and they're showing it now 274 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: as they're voting. A record number of Senate Democrats are 275 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: going to block weapons sales to Israel. They're doing it 276 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: numbers we've never seen before. And this on top of 277 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: the fact that The New York Times has had to 278 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 2: basically correct the claim about a viral photo of a 279 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: starving gods a boy they blamed on Israel and actually 280 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: wasn't true at all, and they didn't correct it like 281 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: in the paper. They did it on x on their 282 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 2: PR account that like no one follows this is now 283 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: how bad it's gotten not only in the media but 284 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 2: also in DC. 285 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: Well, you know, when I arrived in the Senate thirteen 286 00:16:56,080 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: years ago, there was meaningful bipartisan support for is It 287 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,280 Speaker 3: was one of the issues that you could see Republicans 288 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 3: and Democrats come together. Twenty thirteen. When I got here 289 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 3: was the beginning of the second term of Barack Obama, 290 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 3: and Barack Obama began to turn the Democrat Party against Israel. 291 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 3: That turn accelerated dramatically during the Biden administration, and Joe 292 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,359 Speaker 3: Biden ended up being the most anti Israel president and 293 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 3: the most anti Israel administration we've ever seen. Joe Biden, 294 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 3: in the midst of a war that Israel was in, 295 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 3: cut off weapons, froze weapons to Israel, and did so 296 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 3: specifically to prevent Israel from killing terrorists Hamas, terrorists who 297 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 3: had attacked Israel viciously in one of the most horrific 298 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 3: terrorist attack in world history October seventh, where Hamas murdered 299 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:51,200 Speaker 3: over twelve hundred civilians, targeted civilians directly, raped and murdered 300 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: women and little girls. And the Democrats, looking at the 301 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:59,000 Speaker 3: aftermath of this, more and more of them decided they 302 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: stand with Hamas, and sadly, there is a real and 303 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 3: growing pro Hamas contingent of the Democrat Party today. This week, 304 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders brought a resolution trying to block weapons sales 305 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 3: to Israel. Now Bernie Sanders has been rabidly anti Israel 306 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 3: for a long time, most left wing socialists and Marxist are, 307 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 3: but Bernie Sanders resolutions trying to cut off Israel usually failed, 308 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 3: and usually failed with a big, big vote. Well, this 309 00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 3: week the Senate rejected it again, and we rejected it 310 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 3: by a vote of seventy to twenty seven. But there 311 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 3: were twenty seven votes in favor of Bernie Sanders's resolution. 312 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 3: There are only forty seven Democrats in the Senate. That 313 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 3: means more than half of the Senate Democrats voted to 314 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,280 Speaker 3: cut off funding for Israel. That is a dramatic shift. 315 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: And by the way, if you compare it to in 316 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 3: April we had a similar vote and only fifteen Democrats 317 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: voted for it. In November of twenty twenty four, eighteen 318 00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 3: Democrats voted for for it. So so moving up to 319 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 3: twenty seven is a major shift and and and it 320 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 3: is a disturbing pattern where when faced with a choice, 321 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 3: do we support Hamas or do we support Israel? More 322 00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 3: and more Democrats they're afraid of the aocs, They're afraid 323 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 3: of the ilhan Omars, they're afraid of the Rashida Talibs. 324 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 3: In the House, the the pro Hamas squad, and they're 325 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 3: also afraid of the radical protesters on college campuses. Understand, 326 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 3: those protesters are funded by George Soros. They're funded by 327 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 3: the same people who fund the Democrat Party. And more 328 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: and more elected Democrats have decided that that that they 329 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 3: will not anger the pro Hamas radicals and and and 330 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: so I've got to say it is sad to see. Uh, 331 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 3: but let me ask you a question. 332 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: By the way you mentioned yeah, well, and let me 333 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 1: ask you this. 334 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 2: So, look, we know that there's more people on the 335 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 2: House side, so you'll get some you know, fringe groups 336 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,479 Speaker 2: in the House side on the Democratic Party already, even 337 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: like more hardcore conservacicy in the past with Conservative caucuses, 338 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 2: you can see numbers move there. The Senate's kind of 339 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 2: been like the place of elder statesmen, and like there's 340 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: certain issues that you kind of just see that like, hey, 341 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: we're going to be the adults in the room. I 342 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,640 Speaker 2: think that's the scariest part of these votes I'm witnessing 343 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 2: now is this has moved from the House and the 344 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: radicals there that you kind of expected through that the 345 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 2: AOC and her group, right, you expect it, But now 346 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:37,120 Speaker 2: it's moved into the Senate Chamber. And that is really, 347 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 2: I think telling about the anti semitism of the Democratic Party. 348 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 349 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: More than half of the Senate Democrats voted to cut 350 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 3: off military funding for Israel. That's a milestone that's never 351 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,720 Speaker 3: happened before. And by the way, it happened at the 352 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 3: exact same time that we saw three governments worldwide, governments 353 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: of US allies but that are led by leftists. The 354 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 3: government of the United Kingdom, the government of France, and 355 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 3: the government of Canada all came out in favor of 356 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 3: recognizing an independent Palestinian state. And I want you to 357 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: think about the message that the UK and France and 358 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 3: Canada are saying. They're saying to Hamas your terrorism worked. 359 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,080 Speaker 3: They're saying to Hamas, we're glad you murdered twelve hundred 360 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 3: innocent civilians. We're glad you raped women and little girls. 361 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 3: By the way, they're also saying to Hamas, we're glad 362 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: you continue to keep hostages to this day. You do 363 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 3: not release the hostages. They're saying to Hamas, we're glad 364 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: you're responsible for starving Palestinians and Gaza. Understand that the 365 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: human suffering in Gaza is the direct result of Hamas. 366 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,159 Speaker 3: Hamas could end this right now. And Donald Trump, by contrast, 367 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 3: put out a tweet this week and he said Hamas 368 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 3: could end the suffering right now by stopping fighting and 369 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 3: releasing the hostages. They don't want to, and in fact, 370 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 3: Hamas is actively negotiating. You know what, they're negotiating for 371 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: cut off food aid for Palestinians and Gaza. We Hamas 372 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,680 Speaker 3: want to control all the food because it's one of 373 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: the ways we keep in power is by starving anyone 374 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: who opposes us. That is who the United Kingdom and 375 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 3: France and the Canadian government is supporting. And that is 376 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 3: also sadly who now a majority of Senate Democrats are supporting. 377 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 2: You also look at the media, and there's a second 378 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 2: part of this conversation. The New York Times has had 379 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: to roll back acclaim they put it out there of 380 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 2: a viral photo of a starving Gaza boy. It was propaganda. 381 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: It was clearly propaganda from the terrorists and those that 382 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 2: want you to somehow believe that Israel's starving kids. It 383 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 2: did not happen that way at all. The New York 384 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: Times was forced to correct it, and I think they 385 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 2: did it in such just a disgusting way because they 386 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 2: issued their statement sharing how they quote originally didn't include 387 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:06,159 Speaker 2: this boy's pre existing health condition, But they didn't really 388 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 2: do it in the newspaper like on the front page, 389 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: where the same way they did the picture, the damage 390 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 2: already been done. They corrected the story by going to 391 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 2: the New York Times p R Twitter, not even the 392 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,200 Speaker 2: New York Times Twitter account, the New York Times pr 393 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: account that virtually no one's gonna see. 394 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, this was not a picture that that they 395 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: just had as a kind of side note in a 396 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 3: small story. This is a picture the New York Times 397 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,640 Speaker 3: put on the front page. It occupies more than half 398 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 3: of the front page, above the fold. It is a 399 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 3: massive picture, and it's a horrible picture. It's a picture 400 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 3: of a little boy. He appears to be starving. His 401 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 3: spine is sticking out. I mean, it's a very disturbing. 402 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 3: It's an eighteen month old child, which which they they 403 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 3: said he was starving, he faced life threatening malnutrition, and 404 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 3: they blame that on Israel and they used it to 405 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 3: push Hamas's propaganda. After they did that, the New York 406 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 3: Times was forced to issue a correction and they did 407 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 3: the correction, as you noted on Twitter where no one 408 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 3: would see it, And their correction says that what they 409 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: didn't tell people Here's what their statement was. 410 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:17,920 Speaker 1: Quote. 411 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: Children in Gaza are malnourished and starving, as New York 412 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: reporters and others have documented. We recently ran a story 413 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 3: about Gaza's most vulnerable civilians, including Mohammad Zakira al Mataqua, 414 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: who is about eighteen months old and suffers from severe malnutrition. 415 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 3: We have since learned new information, including from the hospital 416 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 3: that has treated him and his medical records, and have 417 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 3: updated our story to add context about his pre existing 418 00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 3: health problems. This additional detail gives readers greater understanding of 419 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: his situation. Our reporters and photographers continue to report from 420 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 3: Gaza bravely, sensitively, and at personal risk, so that our 421 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,600 Speaker 3: readers can see firsthand the consequences of the war. That's 422 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 3: their fairly ridiculous retract where they admit they're lying to you. 423 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:06,120 Speaker 3: Now here's what they didn't tell us That Muhamma's mother 424 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,440 Speaker 3: indicated that her son suffers from quote a muscle disorder 425 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 3: through which he received specialized nutrition and physical therapy. And 426 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 3: another journalist reported the young boy has quote cerebral palsy, 427 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 3: hypoexemia and was born with a serious genetic order. So 428 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 3: they showed a child who's very sick, but he's not 429 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: very sick from starvation, he's very sick from other medical conditions. 430 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 3: And the New York Times happily plays the role of 431 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 3: Hamas's propagandists, and sadly Senate Democrats are cheering on that 432 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 3: false propaganda. Interestingly enough, the pattern of this is exactly 433 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,280 Speaker 3: the same as the pattern of Hillary Clinton signing off 434 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 3: on the false Russia story. It is take a lie, 435 00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 3: count on the corporate media to spread that lie, count 436 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,440 Speaker 3: on Democrat politicians to spread that not lie, and count 437 00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 3: on friendly governments to spread that lie as well. And 438 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 3: and everyone involves knows they are lying, but their political 439 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 3: agenda in this instance they hate Israel, they want to 440 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 3: undermine Israel, and they want to elevate Hamas, and sadly 441 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,639 Speaker 3: that more and more Senate Democrats are falling into that camp. 442 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 2: Senata, I want to move to this new report that's 443 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 2: come out, and it is something that we have been 444 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: really like raising the flag on, saying pay attention to this, 445 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 2: be careful where you send your kids to college, be 446 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 2: careful that they're going to be indoctrinated to hate America. Uh, 447 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 2: and be careful where you send your kids, because there's 448 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 2: a lot of money that's coming in from countries that 449 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: are trying to undermine America and hate America. We're now 450 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 2: seeing more of this at Harvard, with Harvard's ties now 451 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 2: directly to the Chinese Communist Party elites. That has been 452 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 2: revealed on a level we haven't seen before, and it's 453 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 2: been more shocking of where Harvard's getting their cash. And look, 454 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 2: China is not doing this because they like Harvard. They're 455 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,400 Speaker 2: clearly doing it. 456 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 3: For influence, unquestionably, and you know, you know, some have 457 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 3: criticized the Trump administration going after Harvard University. Harvard is 458 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: the most influential university on the face of the planet, 459 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 3: and it also many universities in America have been in 460 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 3: bed with the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese government spends 461 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: millions of dollars trying to get influence and trying to 462 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 3: brainwash our students, trying to control our universities, and far 463 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 3: too many universities have been really eager to participate in that. 464 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 3: And Harvard has been right at the front of the 465 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,679 Speaker 3: list well this week that the House of Representatives has 466 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 3: an investigation and they sent a letter to the President 467 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 3: of Harvard. This is a letter from John Mullinar, who 468 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 3: is the chairman of the Select Committee on the CCP 469 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 3: in the House. It's from Tim Wahlberg, who's the chairman 470 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 3: of the House Committee on Education and Workforce. And it's 471 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: from Alie Stephonic, the chairwoman of House Republican Leadership. And 472 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 3: here's what the letter says. It's addressed to the President 473 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 3: of Harvard University, Alan Garber, and it says, Dear President Garber. 474 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 3: The Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party and the 475 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 3: Committee on Education and Workforce have identified new evidence related 476 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 3: to Harvard University's connections to the Chinese Communist Party and 477 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 3: request additional information. During our investigation, multiple whistleblowers told us 478 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:30,919 Speaker 3: that Harvard has maintained close formal relationships directly with Chinese 479 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 3: Communist Party entities. Specifically, whistleblower information revealed ties between Harvard 480 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,640 Speaker 3: and the Central Organization Department of the Central Committee of 481 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: the CCP, as well as certain Chinese government entities. The 482 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: CCP Organization Department is one of the most powerful bodies 483 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: within the Communist Party. It is responsible for the regimated, 484 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 3: regimented training program centered on Shijingping thought provided to the 485 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: party elites, and controls the p placemen of CCP members 486 00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 3: in key leadership positions. The whistleblowers also revealed that Harvard 487 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 3: cultivates ties with elite CCP members. For example, whistleblowers reveal 488 00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 3: that the Harvard Kennedy School hosts a formal partnership with 489 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 3: the Chinese Executive Leadership Academy Poodong, which is controlled by 490 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: the CCP Organization Department. Under that partnership, the rising CCP elite, 491 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 3: who are being prepared for senior Communist Party leadership positions, 492 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 3: participate in training at Harvard in the United States. Additional 493 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,680 Speaker 3: publicly available information indicates that some of these relationships have 494 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 3: been in place for at least a decade. In twenty sixteen, 495 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 3: a high ranking member of the Chinese Academy of Social 496 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:52,160 Speaker 3: Sciences stated that Chinese Quote Party and government cadres participate 497 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 3: in education and training run by the CCP Organization Department. 498 00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: The Chinese government sends some cadres aba abroad to the 499 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 3: John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. This 500 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 3: is shocking, and it certainly appears from this investigation. And 501 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 3: they request all documents related to any engagement between Harvard 502 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 3: and the CCP and the government of China, and a 503 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 3: list of all money that has come from China and 504 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,160 Speaker 3: the Chinese government. And my prediction is Harvard is going 505 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 3: to fight tooth and nail not to turn this over 506 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 3: because they don't want people to know just how eager 507 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 3: they have been to be in bed with the communists 508 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 3: running the Chinese government. 509 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 2: Can we also just be very queer, like China doesn't 510 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,280 Speaker 2: do this because they like higher education or they're just 511 00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:44,840 Speaker 2: trying to get let's say they're students in That would 512 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:47,520 Speaker 2: be like the most g rated version of the story 513 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 2: that you could tell. They're doing this to buy genuine 514 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,840 Speaker 2: influence at the highest levels in academia and America. And 515 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 2: also this could have major consequences for the US when 516 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 2: it comes to national security or spies and countless other 517 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 2: infiltration activities that they're part of all the time. 518 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 3: Look, that's exactly right. You look at Harvard trains many 519 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 3: of our nation's elite. For example, I just typed in 520 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 3: a quick list on on on Ai how many senators 521 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 3: went to Harvard, and Ai promptly gave me an answer. 522 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:27,320 Speaker 3: There are currently twelve senators who are Harvard alumni, and 523 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 3: I will admit sadly that it came back and says 524 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 3: the list includes individuals like Ted Cruz, Tim Kane, Jack Reed, 525 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer, and Mitt Romney. So so I'm a little 526 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: embarrassed to be the first name on that list. But 527 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: that is part of the reason that that that that 528 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,479 Speaker 3: Harvard puts that Harvard, that China puts that money into Harvard, 529 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:51,000 Speaker 3: into Columbia, into elite universities across this country. Is they 530 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:54,640 Speaker 3: want to train America's leaders. They want to train members 531 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 3: of Congress, they want to train members of the executive branch. 532 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,760 Speaker 3: They want to train federal judges. They want to train 533 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 3: the foreign pologies apparatus uh and and and they are 534 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 3: trying to train them uh and and they're trying to 535 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 3: propaganda as they use this for brainwashing, they use this 536 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 3: for espionage. And and far too many of our universities 537 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 3: have been so eager to take the money. Uh that 538 00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: that that they have welcomed Chinese communists with open arms. 539 00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 2: When you look at where they are right now and 540 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 2: you look at Harvard, is this just about the money, 541 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 2: do you think or is this also about the fact 542 00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 2: that Harvard has no problem agreeing on a lot of 543 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 2: issues with China. 544 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 3: Well, it's both and and listen, the Harvard faculty is 545 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,480 Speaker 3: is hard left. One one point I've I've said many 546 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 3: times is that when I was a student at Harvard 547 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 3: Law School, there were more professors who were Communists than 548 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 3: there were who were Republicans. And and that's not hyperbole 549 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 3: that there were at least a dozen professors who openly 550 00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,720 Speaker 3: said they were Marxists, that they were followers of the 551 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 3: teachers teachings of Karl Marx, and and followers of of 552 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 3: you know, Karl Marx is the father of Communism. When 553 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: I was a student there there was only one professor 554 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: who openly identified as Republican. That was Charles Freed. And 555 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 3: by the way, Charles Freed, the loan Republican on the 556 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 3: faculty voted for Barack Obama, so so their loan Republican 557 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 3: voted for Obama as well. That that was the range 558 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,440 Speaker 3: of thought thirty years ago, and it is much much 559 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 3: worse now, as you know. My most recent book is 560 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:31,480 Speaker 3: entitled Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism, in America, And 561 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 3: the opening chapter talks about cultural Marxism, how it it. 562 00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 3: It grew at Harvard University, it spread to universities throughout 563 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 3: this country. It spread to K through twelve, education, to journalism, 564 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,440 Speaker 3: to big business, to big tech, to entertainment, uh and 565 00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,840 Speaker 3: and and sadly, you know, I called the universities the 566 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:53,760 Speaker 3: Wuhan lab of the Woke virus because they're where it 567 00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 3: was created, They're where it mutated, and they're where it spread. 568 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 3: And and and Harvard was ground zero for that spread. 569 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 2: Final question on this, will Congress be able to really 570 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: do anything on this issue to stop this type of 571 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: money coming into these universities. 572 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 3: Look, I hope. 573 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 1: So. 574 00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,400 Speaker 3: One of the very first pieces of legislation that I 575 00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 3: passed thirteen years ago was legislation that banned Defense Department 576 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 3: money from going to universities that have Confucius institutes. Confucius 577 00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,960 Speaker 3: institutes were paid for by the Chinese Communist government. They 578 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: were at universities all over the country. I got that through, 579 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,200 Speaker 3: I got that passed and signed into law. I actually 580 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,120 Speaker 3: got bipartisan support for it, and as a result, dozens 581 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:43,080 Speaker 3: of Confucius institutes shut down all over the country. So 582 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 3: we can make a real impact. I've got more legislation 583 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:51,279 Speaker 3: to require transparency of foreign money going to universities. We 584 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 3: ought to know about it. And look, the Trump administration 585 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 3: is trying hard to expose this and to stop it, 586 00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,240 Speaker 3: and I salute the president for doing Don't forget. 587 00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 2: We do this show as a podcast three days a week. 588 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 2: So wherever you're listening right now, makes you download Vertic 589 00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 2: with Ted Cruise so you don't miss a single episode.
