1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:00,880 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz week in Review, Ben 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:07,080 Speaker 2: Ferguson with you, and we had some major stories that 4 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: you may have missed that we talked about this week. 5 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: First up, Kamala Harris. While Americans are suffering from a 6 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,640 Speaker 2: second hurricane within weeks hitting Florida, she was on late 7 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 2: night television drinking beers and while doing podcasts called call 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 2: her Daddy. The worst part is even on these shows 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 2: she was a word salad princess. We'll have that for 10 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 2: you in a moment. Plus, what's going on in our 11 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: college campuses and universities and how are they able to 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: brainwash so many kids with terrorist propaganda backing Hamas and Hesbelah, 13 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 2: especially on the anniversary of the terrorist attack in Israel. 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,080 Speaker 2: We'll dive into that. And finally, there is a very 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 2: interesting thing that's happening in this country. Democrats who are 16 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: leaving the Democratic Party to join the Republican Party that 17 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: are currently in office. So what happens to them when 18 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: they change parties. We're going to tell that story with 19 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: one elected official that stood up to the extremists in 20 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: her own party, the Democratic Party. It's the Weekend Review 21 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 2: and it starts right now she tried to redo, by 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: the way, on her question of what she would do different. 23 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,119 Speaker 2: This was when she decided to go on Stephen Colbert 24 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 2: last night, and here's what she said when she was 25 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: asked about, Hey, would you be any different than Joe Biden? 26 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: Now I have a theory center. I think they said, 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 2: can you re ask that question? 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 3: Because he that was entirely stage the campaign realized, oh 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: my goodness, this was a disaster of an answer. You've 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 3: just given Trump their lead campaign commercial heading into the election. 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 3: So let's tee up and give a different answer. And 32 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: of course, Stephen Colbert, you know, I'm actually surprised he 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 3: wasn't wearing like a cheerleader like mini skirt in pomp 34 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: Pom's because it is not complicated who he's rooting for. 35 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: But go ahead and play the clip. 36 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 4: Polling shows that a lot of people, especially independent voters, 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 4: really want this to be a change election, and that 38 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: they tend to break for you in terms of thinking 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 4: about change. You are a member of the president administration 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 4: under a Harris administration, what would the major changes be 41 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 4: and what would stay the same? 42 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 5: Sure, well, I mean I'm obviously not Joe Biden, I know, 43 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 5: and so that would be one change in terms of 44 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 5: but also I think it's important to say with you know, 45 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 5: twenty eight days ago, I'm not Donald Trump. And so 46 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 5: when we think about the significance of what this next 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 5: generation of leadership looks like to be elected president, it 48 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 5: is about, frankly, of the American people. And I believe 49 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 5: in our country. I love that it is our character 50 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 5: and nature to be an ambitious people. You know, we 51 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 5: we have aspirations, we have dreams, we are we have 52 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 5: incredible work ethic, and I just believe that we can 53 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 5: create and build upon the success we've achieved in a 54 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 5: way that we continue to grow opportunity and in that 55 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 5: way grow the strength of our nation. So, for example, 56 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 5: my economic policies, I think of it and I have 57 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 5: named it as creating an opportunity economy. So it's about 58 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 5: things like investing in small businesses. I love our small businesses. 59 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 2: I love this part where she's like, I created it 60 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: like out of thin air. Center, I created it. I've 61 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: created and I named it like it's a puppy. I've 62 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: named it like. She didn't give any answer there, right, 63 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: It's just she just said work the American people, and 64 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: we have ambition. 65 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: Quote unquote, look that that answer, it's actually screamingly funny 66 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 3: and at the same time screamingly terrifying. So Colbert's try. 67 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: He's like, look, people desperately want change. The entire fiction 68 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: of your campaign is you're the change candidate, except for 69 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 3: the fact that you're in the incumbent administration, and every 70 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: other vice president in history who's run for election has 71 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: run on continuity, continue the success as well. You know 72 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840 Speaker 3: that the successes are very few and that the record 73 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: is a train wreck. So you want change because people 74 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 3: aren't happy with your disastrous record. So what would you 75 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 3: change now? Now that actually to call that a softball 76 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: is an insult to softballs. That's a t ball, that's 77 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: a kickball. 78 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 2: It's a setup, though, Like we need to just be 79 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 2: intellectually honest about this, Like this is a clear we 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 2: need to redo. 81 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: We're going to use. 82 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 3: But I gotta say, I don't know if if her 83 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 3: campaign is just miserably incompetent or she is or both, 84 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 3: But for a setup, that may be the worst answer 85 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: I've ever heard. Because she talks. I mean, the phrase 86 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 3: word salad has used a lot. She says, well, the changes, 87 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,119 Speaker 3: I'm not Joe Biden. Oh okay, and I'm not Donald Trump. 88 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 3: That that's the whole change. And then I love What 89 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: else is the change? The next thing she says, I 90 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: love America. Yeah, oh my goodness. So your position is 91 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 3: Joe Biden doesn't love America. That's the change. She literally says, 92 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: I love America. That's the change, unlike those evil, mean 93 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: bastards that aren't me well. 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 2: And the other thing is they try to humanize her. 95 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: She cracked open a beer with Stephen Colbert and that guy, 96 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 2: like a full segment on CNN which was hysterical. And 97 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 2: then you go back to what she actually says, and 98 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 2: the Vice President of the United States of America said, 99 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: and I want you to listen for this. The American 100 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 2: dream right now is really elusive. Is she trying to 101 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 2: write another ad for Donald Trump? 102 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:49,679 Speaker 6: Listen? 103 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 5: The American dream right now is really elusive for far 104 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 5: too many people in terms of even aspiring to own 105 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: a home. It's too expensive. We don't have enough housing. 106 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 5: We have a housing So part of my plan is 107 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 5: to work with the private sector, with builders and developers, 108 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: to build three million more homes by the end of 109 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: my first term and to give first time home buyers 110 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 5: a twenty five thousand dollars down payment assistance so they 111 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 5: can just get their foot in the door to home ownership, 112 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 5: which is the fastest and the most efficient way for 113 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 5: people to build intergenerational wealth. These are the ways that 114 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 5: I think about how we build up our country in 115 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 5: a way that is about supporting the middle class. I 116 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 5: come from the middle class. I'm never going to forget 117 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 5: where I come from. 118 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: I love it. Middle class is apparently really tough for her. 119 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,600 Speaker 2: If you know her history, you kind of got to 120 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 2: roll your eyes at that. But this idea, she says, 121 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: everything's bad right now, far too many people in turns 122 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: even aspiring to own a house because there's not enough houses. Well, 123 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 2: why is that because the illegal immigrants you've llowed into 124 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: this country by the tens of millions. 125 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: Well, of course Colbert pressed back with that, right. 126 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: No, no, no, he did not. They just decided to 127 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 2: drink a beer instead, because that's how you do an interview. 128 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: Nowow when it's somebody that no one's voted for, and 129 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 2: we're just, you know, less than thirty days away from 130 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 2: election day, right. 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,920 Speaker 3: You know, by the way, I will say, I think 132 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 3: it is fitting that that was a comedy show, because 133 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 3: if you recall, in her debate with Donald Trump, the 134 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: opening question was elections come down to the question are 135 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: you better off now than you were four years ago? 136 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 3: And so, Madame Vice President, are the American people better 137 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 3: off now than they were four years ago? And her 138 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: answer was I came from the middle class. Like it's 139 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 3: become a punchline because it was such a non sequit, 140 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 3: or she's unable to say yes because the record is 141 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 3: a disaster, and so she just she has this talking 142 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: point and the fact that at a comedy show she 143 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 3: goes back to what I come from the middle class. 144 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: Apparently some focus group somewhere told her that was a 145 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 3: good thing to say, and she don't have anything else 146 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 3: to say. 147 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 2: Send her two quick things I want to bring up 148 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 2: and dealt with foreign policy. Harris has refused to directly 149 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 2: answer if net and Yahoo is a ally of our country. 150 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 2: Here's what she said in the sixty minutes interview that 151 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 2: was shocking as well. 152 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 7: Do we have a real close ally in Prime Minister 153 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 7: of NT and Yahoo? 154 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 5: I think, with all due respect, the better question is 155 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 5: do we have an important alliance between the American people 156 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 5: and the Israeli people? And the answer to that question 157 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 5: is yes. 158 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: So she throws our relationship with a leader that was 159 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: elected by the people in Israel net Yahoo under the bus, 160 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: and she clearly is saying there is separation between me 161 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: and net and Yahoo and Israel. She had to make 162 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: that comment, I think in her mind to keep the 163 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 2: radicals that are anti Jewish, anti Semites who support Hesbalah 164 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 2: and Hamas on her side. That's why she was so 165 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: I think careful with their words are to say I's 166 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: not my guy. I mean, I'm fine with Israel, but 167 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:08,199 Speaker 2: not him. 168 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,200 Speaker 3: Well, look, she clearly hates Benjamin Netnaho, and that that's 169 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,080 Speaker 3: true of this entire White House. It's true of Joe Biden, 170 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,960 Speaker 3: It's true of most of the Democrats. And remember Kamala Harris, 171 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 3: as the sitting Vice President, boycotted net Yahoo's speech to 172 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 3: a joint session of Congress. I was there sitting on 173 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 3: the floor of the House Prime Minister Natnah who gave 174 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 3: an extraordinary address. And you know, the vice president. You know, 175 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 3: the old line is it's a job that's not worth 176 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: a bucket of spit. But among the very few responsibilities 177 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 3: of the vice president are to sit and preside on 178 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 3: a joint session of Congress, to sit your rear end 179 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: down in that chair while someone addresses a joint session 180 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: of Congress. Well, she loathes Prime Minister net Yaho so 181 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 3: much she refused to attend. And so her answer, does 182 00:09:57,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: she consider net Yaho an ally? 183 00:09:59,520 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 5: No? 184 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 3: And frankly she can barely bring herself to describe Israel 185 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 3: as an ally. Listen, there is a growing pro Hamas 186 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: wing of the Democrat Party, and Kamala Harris clearly wants 187 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 3: their vote. She wants the votes in Dearborn, Michigan. She 188 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,240 Speaker 3: wants the votes of the radicals, the anti semits on 189 00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: college campuses. And I got to say, and we should 190 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,480 Speaker 3: wrap up on this. I want to play the answer 191 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: she gave when it when asked about Israel on sixty minutes, 192 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: the actual answer she gave, and then I want us 193 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 3: to play what sixty minutes aired, because we mentioned before 194 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: the phrase word salad. This word salad answer is truly remarkable. 195 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 3: And so let's play initially what she said in the 196 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: actual interview, and then we'll go to what they are. 197 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: And then the sixty minute fabulous edit. That's the only 198 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: way to describe it. It's we they knew it was bad, 199 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 2: so let's fix it. Here it is, But it seems 200 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 2: that Prime Minister Netanya, who is not listening. 201 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,839 Speaker 5: Well, Bill, the work that we have done has resulted 202 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 5: in a number of movements in that region by Israel 203 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 5: that were very much prompted by or a result of 204 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 5: many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen 205 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 5: in the region. 206 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: Now, that is the original answer, all right, So it 207 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 2: was twenty seven seconds long. 208 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,319 Speaker 3: So they tweeted that out before the interview aired, so 209 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 3: it was public in twitter verse, and people were vicious 210 00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,280 Speaker 3: in mocking it because it's so lacking in content. It 211 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 3: doesn't say anything. So here's what's seeing what sixty minutes 212 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 3: actually aired. 213 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 6: But it seems that Prime Minister Netanya, who is not listening, we. 214 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 5: Are not going to stop pursuing what is necessary for 215 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 5: the United States to be clear about where we stand 216 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 5: on the need for this war to end. 217 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,199 Speaker 2: That's a completely different answer. 218 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 3: Holy cow, Look listen, that's not sixty minutes. That's like 219 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 3: fifty seven minutes. And it makes you wonder what else 220 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 3: did they edit out? What other answers did she give? 221 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,600 Speaker 3: That the sixty minute producers bury their head in their 222 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 3: hands and said, oh no, if people see this, they're 223 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: not going to vote for and we need her to 224 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,599 Speaker 3: vote for Now. Look, I'm going to be mixed in 225 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 3: my commentary in sixty minutes because I will say, at 226 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 3: least they asked the question on quadrupling the number of 227 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants, that was important, and her refusal to answer 228 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 3: it was important, so they didn't edit that out. But 229 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 3: on Israel, they just couldn't stomach letting her answer stand 230 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 3: on its own merits, and they tried to help her 231 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 3: out and they actually got caught, which I got to say, 232 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: I think has done real damage to their credibility going forward. 233 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this 234 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: conversation and go back and listen to the full podcast 235 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 2: from earlier this week, now onto story number two. 236 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 3: You need to understand the ideological rot that has infused 237 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 3: so much of our elite academy. And by the way, 238 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 3: it's been a year since October seventh. Have you noticed 239 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: the protests on the campus. They're not springing up organically, 240 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 3: they're not spontaneous. Am I the only one who's noticed 241 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,439 Speaker 3: that the tenents all match? There is real money funding 242 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 3: these anti Israel, anti Semitic anti American protests, and that 243 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 3: money is coming from Iran, that money is coming from Cutter, 244 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,959 Speaker 3: and that money is coming from prominent leftists in this 245 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 3: country who are also funding prominent politicians in this country. 246 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 3: I want to ask you, in a year, has there 247 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,959 Speaker 3: been a single investigation by the Department of Justice or 248 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: the FBI to follow the money. Under Title six of 249 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: our Civil Rights law, university cannot create an environment that 250 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 3: is threatening to the safety of a student based on 251 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 3: race or ethnicity. Has there been a single university in 252 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,079 Speaker 3: America who's had their federal funding cut off because they 253 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 3: refuse to protect Jewish students on campus. Answers, No, not one. 254 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 3: That's not an accident. We need a Department of Justice 255 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 3: that stands with our students. By the way, I will 256 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 3: note the protesters that were arrested in University of Texas, 257 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 3: roughly half of them had no connection to ut They 258 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 3: weren't students there. They just came in to agitate and 259 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 3: threaten violence. The same was true at Columbia, the same 260 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 3: was true at FORDOM that when people have been arrested, 261 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 3: about half of them are either radical Islamist or Marxists, 262 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 3: or just anti. 263 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: American paid violent thugs. 264 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 3: Clarity matters, and by the way, I will say that 265 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 3: clarity is not entirely delineated on partisan bases. I will 266 00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 3: say one of the most astonishing things to me has 267 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 3: the courage my colleague John Fetterman has shown on this topic. 268 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 3: I'll confess, when Senator Fetterman was elected from Pennsylvania, I 269 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 3: had no reason to anticipate that he would show that 270 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,200 Speaker 3: kind of courage. 271 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: But he has been astonishing. 272 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 3: And I will say, when giving a commencement address, when 273 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: he removed his hood from Harvard University as a fellow 274 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 3: Harvard grad, I was proud that he was willing to 275 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 3: stand up to the shameful behavior of his in my 276 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 3: Alma mon. Clarity is an opportunity for everyone on each 277 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 3: and every day to decide where do I stand. There 278 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: is a second enormously beneficial outcome of the horror and 279 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 3: evil that was October seventh, which is that Israel has 280 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 3: stated its commitment to utterly and completely eliminate Hamas and 281 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 3: now eliminate Hesbelah. And I have to say, eliminating Hamas 282 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 3: and eliminating Hesbela is unquestionably in the national security interest 283 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 3: of Israel and unquestionably in the national security interest of America, 284 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: and US policy should very simply be, we stand unequivocally 285 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: with Israel for as long as it takes. I listened 286 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 3: to colleagues of mine in the Senate in the House 287 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: for their only response to what happens at Israel is 288 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: we need a cease fire. 289 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Now. 290 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:26,960 Speaker 3: What is it that leads American politicians to say our 291 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:31,119 Speaker 3: view should be, please, please, please stop killing the terrorists. 292 00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: When I got on Southwest Airlines this morning and flew 293 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,720 Speaker 3: from Houston to Dallas to come here today, a woman 294 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 3: standing in the line came up to me and said, please, 295 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 3: we need to cease fire now, on the one year 296 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: anniversary of October seventh. I'll tell you, month after month 297 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 3: after month, every Saturday morning at seven am, I had 298 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 3: anti Israel, anti Semitic protesters in my front lawn, screaming, yelling, 299 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 3: ringing cowbells, blowing whistles, screaming at splitives at the top 300 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 3: of their lungs, waking up my daughters, waking up my 301 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 3: neighbors and their young children, week after week after week. 302 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you when I encounter, as I do 303 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,119 Speaker 3: with some regularity, people on airplanes who will yell at me, 304 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 3: we need to cease fire now, and I ask them, really, 305 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 3: tell me, why is it that you side with genocidal 306 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 3: maniacs carrying out Nazi ends. 307 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: How do you look at what happened. 308 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 3: And say the murderers and rapists are the ones we 309 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 3: stand with. But part of it is a lot of 310 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: people are lied to. They don't know the truth they 311 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,879 Speaker 3: are being told. The victims in our definition, are the 312 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 3: good and the oppressors are the evil. That's why that 313 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 3: clarity needs to continue. I will say, if you look 314 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 3: at Israel's distribution of pagers, I've got to say that 315 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:59,280 Speaker 3: as one of the most extraordinary intelligence and military operations 316 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 3: ever seen. When I saw it on the news. When 317 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 3: I read about it, it read like a James Bond novel. 318 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 3: If you, I don't know if any of y'all are 319 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 3: fans of the show Fouta, Fouda is phenomenal. If you 320 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:14,719 Speaker 3: tried to write it in a plot of Fouta, they 321 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 3: wouldn't publish it because they would have said, this is ridiculous. 322 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 1: And I will say, is what was truly elegant. 323 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 3: About it is the people who received the pagers were 324 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 3: decided by the leadership of Hesbela. The leaders of Hesbelas said, 325 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 3: all right, you are enough of a genocidal murderer that 326 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 3: I want you on page. They selected every person. 327 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: And then they got their page. 328 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 3: And then a few days later they said, let's go 329 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 3: to walkie talkies, and the walkie talkies blew up. And 330 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 3: then at the head of hesbel has said, let's go 331 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 3: to a basement bunker and meet in person. And then 332 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 3: the basement bunker blew up. And if you want to 333 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 3: understand where someone stands, look to their reaction to that. 334 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,439 Speaker 3: Let me tell you, I think it is beautiful that 335 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: psychopathic terrorists are terrified now to pick up the phone 336 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 3: and pick up the pager and go meet with another terrorist. 337 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 3: That is unequivocally good for Israel and America. We are 338 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,919 Speaker 3: saying forces across the globe arrayed against the people of Israel. 339 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 3: And I will tell you, in particular, if you want 340 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 3: to prevent another October seventh, if you want to save 341 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 3: innocent lives in Israel and America, then you've got to 342 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 3: start by focusing on the nation of Iran. 343 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 1: Iran is the head of the stake. 344 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 3: I will say, in the last four years, the US 345 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 3: government has funneled over one hundred billion dollars to Iran. 346 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 3: We all know about the six billion that got the 347 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 3: most attention. That was six billion in ransom for five Americans. 348 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 3: I and many others at the time said that's a 349 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 3: terrible policy. It will only encourage more Americans to be 350 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 3: taken hostage. It effectively puts a bounty of one point 351 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 3: two billion per hostage. Tragically, when we said that, I 352 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 3: didn't realize it would be just a couple of months 353 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 3: before we would see more Americans taken hostage. Some of 354 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 3: you may also know about the ten billion in funds 355 00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 3: that were frozen in Iraq from electricity receipts that the 356 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 3: administration unfroze to flow to Iran. Both of those, however, 357 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 3: pale in comparison to the real source of revenue. Iran 358 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,679 Speaker 3: derives the bulk of its revenue from oil and gas sales. 359 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 3: When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office four 360 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: years ago, Iran was at the time selling roughly three 361 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 3: hundred thousand barrels of oil a day. That was a 362 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: consequence of the previous administration vigorously enforcing oil sanctions. I 363 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 3: had spent hundreds of hours urging President Trump to vigorously 364 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 3: enforce oil oil sanctions on Iran. He did so, and 365 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: their oil sales plummeted from a million barrels a day 366 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 3: to three hundred thousand in January of twenty twenty one. 367 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 3: The Iranian economy was in shambles, the Iranian regime was 368 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 3: teetering and near collapse, and the current administration came in 369 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 3: and immediately stopped enforcing those oil sanctions. What are the 370 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: consequences of that? Iran's oil sales went from three hundred 371 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 3: thousand barrels a day where they were in January of 372 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. 373 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: Do you know what they are today? 374 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: Roughly two million barrels of oil a day, primarily sold 375 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 3: to communist China. What is the delta between three hundred 376 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 3: thousand barrels a day and two million barrels a day. 377 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,119 Speaker 3: It is more than eighty billion dollars that came in 378 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 3: like a lifeline. 379 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 1: To save the regime. 380 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,959 Speaker 3: I told you this is a battle between good and evil. 381 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 3: The Ayatola Kameine is unambiguous evil. He leads mobs in 382 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:08,239 Speaker 3: chants of death to Israel and death to America. Now, 383 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 3: if history teaches anything It is that when somebody tells 384 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 3: you they want to kill you, believe them. And you 385 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 3: need to understand this is not just a threat to Israel. 386 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 3: There is a reason the Ayatola refers to Israel as 387 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 3: the little. 388 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: Satan and America as the great Satan. 389 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 3: The enemies of Israel are enemies of America. 390 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 1: Those who hate Jews hate Christians. 391 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 3: And I have to say, if any sanity comes from 392 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 3: the aftermath of October seventh, it is that we should 393 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 3: agree to come together and cut off all of the 394 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 3: funds for Iran. Two statistics that are important to know. 395 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: Over ninety percent of the funding for Hamas comes from Iran. 396 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 3: Over ninety percent of the funding for Hesbola comes from Iran. 397 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,680 Speaker 3: If you are giving one hundred billion dollars to Iran, 398 00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 3: you are giving the money to the terrorist who are 399 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 3: committing these atrocities. I gotta say, regardless of your politics, 400 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 3: it should not be a complicated proposition to say, do 401 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:24,840 Speaker 3: not give money to people who want to murder you. 402 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,479 Speaker 3: And yet somehow in Washington that's deemed a controversial statement. 403 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 2: As before, if you want to hear the rest of 404 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and 405 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 2: dow the podcast from earlier this week to hear the 406 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 2: entire thing. I want to get back to the big story, 407 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: number three of the week. 408 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,959 Speaker 7: You may have missed if you're listening to this right 409 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 7: now or you're watching this. When you think about going 410 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,439 Speaker 7: from fifty thousand dollars race to a million dollars against you, 411 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 7: that's a political assassination on your career. That's saying we're 412 00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 7: just going to buy a winner and make sure you're 413 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 7: a loser, because that's how much we want to punish 414 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 7: you and make sure everybody else stays in line. 415 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,560 Speaker 8: Exactly I always held, folks, it was literally to make 416 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 8: an example out of me and to warn others don't 417 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 8: get any right ideas. Don't stand up there and speak 418 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 8: out and tell the truth for your constituents, because we 419 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 8: will seawan theory you and put over a million dollars 420 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 8: in your race. But I said it on the house floor, 421 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 8: you know, I always say sunlight is the best disinfectant, Senator, 422 00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 8: And so I did rip the lid off of it, 423 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 8: and I exposed the harms, and I exposed the hypocrisy. 424 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 8: You talked about eighteen being such a reasonable age. Every 425 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 8: policy that the Democrats put forth is usually to raise 426 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 8: the age. 427 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 6: This is the. 428 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 8: Only area where not only do they not want to 429 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 8: set the age, they want no age. If they want 430 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 8: to raise the age from eighteen to twenty one for 431 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 8: it to have a gun. We raise the age from 432 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 8: eighteen to twenty one to buy tobacco cigarettes, which everyone 433 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 8: you know agreed. We raise the age from eighteen to 434 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 8: twenty one to work in a sexually oriented business. We 435 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,199 Speaker 8: have acknowledged. They said they're the party of science. They 436 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 8: said the frontal lobe of the brain is not developed 437 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 8: until almost twenty five. Yeah, Why on earth are Democrats saying, 438 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 8: as you said, very well, Sinner, that a child as 439 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 8: young as nine, who hasn't even entered puberty has the 440 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 8: capacity to sign away their future in terms of being 441 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 8: castrated and sterilized. 442 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 6: What is this? 443 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: So tell us the sort of things. 444 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: What did your then. 445 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 3: Fellow Democrats say to you as this is all going down. 446 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: What sort of conversation did y'all have? 447 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 6: Well, I guess the. 448 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 8: Cat kind of got out of the bag that there 449 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 8: was a potential dissident who wasn't going along with the program, 450 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 8: and so they started pulling me to the side.

However, I always say there's 607 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 8: a comma, not a period there, okay, As I said again, 608 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,920 Speaker 8: that's a temporary pit stop. 609 00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 6: My dad who passed away, I share it. We were 610 00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 6: talking about our fathers. 611 00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 8: When we sat down and talked, and before my dad 612 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 8: passed away, it must have been very fratuitous of him 613 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,000 Speaker 8: for no reason at all. He was in the hospital 614 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 8: and he looked at me and he said, Jehan, I 615 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 8: want you to promise me. It was like, of course, daddy, 616 00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 8: and he said, don't ever let the power and the 617 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 8: prestige of the position cause you to sell your soul 618 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 8: aimen to that, and I didn't, and I stay with that. 619 00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 8: So I think people need to look at it and say, 620 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,520 Speaker 8: you can survive it. I'm still here. They censored me, 621 00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:24,360 Speaker 8: but they did not silence me. So I think that 622 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 8: the good news is you can survive it. I've switched 623 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 8: parties not because I'm so much politically ambitious, but because 624 00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,160 Speaker 8: I'm a citizen. I'm an American, and I want to 625 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,520 Speaker 8: do it's right for our country. And so now I'm 626 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,920 Speaker 8: speaking out. I'm using whatever platform I have to educate 627 00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 8: Americans and Senator so many folks, and I'll even say 628 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 8: African American voters have come to me and said, Rep. Fiery, 629 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 8: if only I had known, I didn't even know the 630 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 8: Democrat Party was up to this. 631 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,759 Speaker 3: Well, Sean, thank you for your courage and thank you 632 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 3: for sharing your story.
