Speaker 1: Welcome it is Verdict was Center, Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson
Speaker 1: with you Center. You are actually there tonight. Correct, we
Speaker 1: have good networking Internet.
Speaker 2: I am indeed, the internet is back.
Speaker 1: Verdict is back, build back, better work tonight. At least
Speaker 1: that's that's how we can spend this one. So it
Speaker 1: was hilarious the last show, just just to take me
Speaker 1: behind the scenes of how this show works. A lot
Speaker 1: of times you're in another city. I'm in one city
Speaker 1: and then we're connecting to a third city. And we
Speaker 1: tried for like an hour the other night. It was
Speaker 1: after midnight, and so I'm glad to say we are
Speaker 1: all about two.
Speaker 2: In the morning for you. It was one in the
Speaker 2: morning for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was two in the morning when we finally said, okay,
Speaker 1: this is not gonna work because I.
Speaker 2: Was and I was in Midland, Texas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and and and our producer is in Memphis, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: So you it was.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 1: It was hilarious and we are all working, which it's
Speaker 1: great to be back. We have got a lot to
Speaker 1: talk about because we obviously missed some big news in
Speaker 1: that last show that we didn't get to do. So
Speaker 1: let's talk what we're going to chat about this today.
Speaker 2: Well, we're going to start with Israel and do a
Speaker 2: deep dive on really the historic move the Democrat Party
Speaker 2: is making, the Biden White House, Chuck Schumer abandoning Israel,
Speaker 2: and it is historic, it is tragic, it is enormously consequential,
Speaker 2: and we're gonna explain exactly what's going on with it. Secondly,
Speaker 2: we're going to go into the border and what's happening
Speaker 2: aint the border, and in particular, this weekend, the president
Speaker 2: of Mexico threatened the United States. He threatened that the
Speaker 2: flow of migrants will continue unless America gives in to
Speaker 2: his demands. We're going to break that down.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1: If you're like me and you say, hey, I am
Speaker 1: going to give my money to commanies that support my
Speaker 1: values and I'm not going to give my money anymore
Speaker 1: to comies it fight against what I believe in, then
Speaker 1: you need to switch from Big Mobile. It is a
Speaker 1: presidential election year and Big Mobile is involved in big
Speaker 1: ways in supporting Democrats running for the national office, for
Speaker 1: state office, for local offices, and they are giving big
Speaker 1: donations to liberal organizations including plan parenthood. Now. For more
Speaker 1: than a decade now, Patriot Mobile has been America's only
Speaker 1: Christian conservative wireless provider. And the number one misconception is people,
Speaker 1: I don't want to switch. I like my service, I
Speaker 1: just want dependable service. Well, guess what with Patriot Mobile.
Speaker 1: You get dependable nationwide coverage because they use the same
Speaker 1: three major networks that you're probably on right now. That
Speaker 1: means you get the same coverage that you are accustomed
Speaker 1: to without funding the Left. And when you switch to
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, something else amazing happens. They actually take a
Speaker 1: part of your bill every month that you pay at
Speaker 1: no extra cost to you, and they give it back
Speaker 1: to conservative causes that fight to support free speech, religious freedom,
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life. They fight for a Second Amendment,
Speaker 1: as well as supporting our military. Our veterans are wounded warriors.
Speaker 1: That is why I'm proud to use Patriot Mobile, because
Speaker 1: I know when I'm sending texts and when I'm emailing
Speaker 1: and when I'm making phone calls, I'm making a difference
Speaker 1: when I pay that bill. They have one hundred percent
Speaker 1: US based customer service team, which makes switching easy. Keep
Speaker 1: your same cell number or get a new phone or
Speaker 1: keep the one you've got. Go to Patriotmobile dot com

Speaker 1: I want to start and you mentioned this talking about
Speaker 1: what's happening with Israel. There was a shocking moment at
Speaker 1: the United Nations, and I want you to break down
Speaker 1: exactly what happened, because America didn't vote against Israel, but
Speaker 1: they certainly didn't stand with Israel in a very important
Speaker 1: vote that took place demanding a ceasefire. Even though there
Speaker 1: are still countless including Americans, hostages being held by hamas well.
Speaker 2: This week was the culmination of what has been a
Speaker 2: systemic pivot by the Democrat Party away from Israel, and sadly,
Speaker 2: it is an historic pivot. It started in earnest two
Speaker 2: weeks ago when Chuck Schumer went to the Senate floor
Speaker 2: and gave an utterly disgraceful speech, a speech with no
Speaker 2: precedent in our nation's history, where he demanded the elected
Speaker 2: leader of Israel, Benjamin Etna, who stepped down, and it
Speaker 2: was an assault. It was not one he directed at Hamas.
Speaker 2: He didn't demand their leader step down. It wasn't directed
Speaker 2: at Iran, or China, or Russia or North Korea Venezuela.
Speaker 2: None of those did he demand their leader step down,
Speaker 2: but instead only the nation of Israel, the only Jewish
Speaker 2: state on the face of the earth, our close ally
Speaker 2: and while they're in the middle of a war, while
Speaker 2: they are defending themselves in the wake of the grotesque
Speaker 2: horror that he is October seventh, and this was not
Speaker 2: just to comment off the cuff from Chuck Schumer. This
Speaker 2: was a long prepared ro marks that he went out
Speaker 2: and demanded, viewing Israel as a puppet state that he
Speaker 2: and the other Democrats can treat like just people who
Speaker 2: must take their orders. Demanded that the people of Israel,
Speaker 2: he chided them for daring to elect det Yaho and understand,
Speaker 2: this is not just an assault on net Yahoo, It's
Speaker 2: an assault on the voters. Israel is a democratically has
Speaker 2: a democratically elected government. It is our job to deal
Speaker 2: with the leaders of Israel regardless of who they are,
Speaker 2: if the people elect them. We are allies with the
Speaker 2: nation of Israel. And when net Yahoo was Prime minister before,
Speaker 2: we dealt with him. When enough Tolly Bennett was prime minister,
Speaker 2: we dealt with him. Now that det Yaho is Prime
Speaker 2: minister again, we're dealing with him. But it's the voters
Speaker 2: of Israel who decide. So after Schumer gives a speech,
Speaker 2: immediately after, the White House is asked about it and
Speaker 2: they say, oh, we knew about the speech. We knew
Speaker 2: about it beforehand. We knew exactly what Schumer was going
Speaker 2: to say, and we thought the present thought it was
Speaker 2: a very good speech. So the White House immediately signals
Speaker 2: their agreement with it, and then that culminated in what
Speaker 2: happened this week. This week, the United Nations passed a
Speaker 2: resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. Now understand the
Speaker 2: word ceasefire has become this leftist mantra, and what it
Speaker 2: means is Israel stop killing terrorists. Now, what immediate ceasefire
Speaker 2: means is Israel allow Hamas to win. What cease fire
Speaker 2: means is Israel do not destroy the leadership of Hamas,
Speaker 2: do not destroy any more terrorists, but rather allow Hamas
Speaker 2: to run Gaza, allow them to commit future acts of terrorism.
Speaker 2: It's okay with us, the Democrats if they murder future Israelis. Apparently,
Speaker 2: it's okay with us, the Democrats if they murder Americans,
Speaker 2: since October seventh is one of the worst terror attacks
Speaker 2: in our nation's history. Resolution now listen to The United
Speaker 2: Nations has always been a pit of anti Semitism and
Speaker 2: israel hatred the United Nations. Half the time, it seems
Speaker 2: the UN exists to give speeches and issue proclamations condemning Israel.
Speaker 2: But historically so no resolution can pass without the Security Council.
Speaker 2: All five permanent members of the Security Council have a veto.
Speaker 2: The United States has a veto, So historically, when the
Speaker 2: anti Semites get going at the UN, America, veto's the resolution.
Speaker 2: And we've done that for a long long time. Well,
Speaker 2: it turned out this was Biden's opportunity. And by the way,
Speaker 2: I believe the Biden administration teed this up. I think
Speaker 2: they orchestrated it. Technically, what Biden did was abstain. Just
Speaker 2: the United States didn't say anything. So the fourteen other
Speaker 2: members of the Security Council voted to effectively condemn Israel
Speaker 2: to demand an immediate ceasefire, which Israel's not doing. And
Speaker 2: the United States Biden just declined to exercise its veto
Speaker 2: and allowed it to pass. And I will say, let
Speaker 2: me just read the headline in the Guardian. Now, look,
Speaker 2: the Guardian is a lefty publication, but I got to
Speaker 2: say the headline right after this happened really sums up
Speaker 2: where we are. The headline is United Nations Israel isolated
Speaker 2: as UN Security Council demands immediate cease fire in Gaza.
Speaker 2: And let me read the sub headline because it's even
Speaker 2: more revealing. Israeli PM cancels White House visit by two
Speaker 2: ministers and says US abandoned its policy in the UN
Speaker 2: after abstaining on vote. That's where we are. It is disgraceful,
Speaker 2: it is dangerous. It's dangerous for Israel, and it is
Speaker 2: dangerous for America Today's Democrat party. It's hard breaking is
Speaker 2: in the process of abandoning the state of Israel, and
Speaker 2: that is a terrible development for the world.
Speaker 1: It's not just how orchestrated this was, but also how
Speaker 1: the White House doubled down on it. So Quickly afterwards,
Speaker 1: National Security Council spokesman John Kelby said this about the
Speaker 1: UN resolution at the White House Press briefing room, doubling
Speaker 1: down on their stands.
Speaker 4: The ones we veto didn't condemn mamas. This one didn't
Speaker 4: condemn hamas, which is why we couldn't support it. But
Speaker 4: we didn't veto it because in general, unlike previous REGI resolutions,
Speaker 4: this one did fairly capture what has been our consistent policy,
Speaker 4: which is linking a hostage deal in the release of
Speaker 4: those men and women with of course a temporary sees far.
Speaker 1: I mean, when he's talking here, it's like, what are
Speaker 1: you even saying?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: You're trying to spend this and act like this as
Speaker 1: somehow consistency. This this is clearly a change in policy,
Speaker 1: which is, hey, we know you guys have hostages, including Americans,
Speaker 1: which no one's talking about, which is also disgraced I
Speaker 1: think of the media and the White House and the President.
Speaker 1: They're not talking about that at all. Number one, but
Speaker 1: number two, they're saying, all right, well, like let's just
Speaker 1: go along with a ceasefire while they have hostages.
Speaker 2: Well, you just listen to the words, John Kirby said, there,
Speaker 2: he said, the ones we vetoed the prior resolutions didn't
Speaker 2: condemn Hamas, and then what's his next sentence? Well, this
Speaker 2: one didn't condemn Hamas either, but they let it pass.
Speaker 2: But of course it's not a change, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's actually particularly revealing. Minutes before the vote on Monday,
Speaker 2: US decided, Okay, we're in the middle of condemning Israel,
Speaker 2: we're in the middle of screwing our ally, we're in
Speaker 2: the middle of abandoning our ally. Maybe we should ask
Speaker 2: that they should say something about Hamas. Maybe Hamas bad.
Speaker 2: Maybe you know, it's not a great thing to murder
Speaker 2: twelve hundred people, to rape women and little girls, to
Speaker 2: take hostages, to mutilate their corpses, to desecrate their corpses.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's not great. Guys. Can we kind of say
Speaker 2: raping and murdering children is bad? And it turns out
Speaker 2: in the UN Nope? Sorry, sorry, So the Biden administration
Speaker 2: briefly asked, could you add a sentence or two condeming Hamas,
Speaker 2: and the anti semi said nope, absolutely not. And what'
Speaker 2: Biden say? Oh never mind, Okay, that's fine. Then we'll
Speaker 2: just focus on attacking Israel. We're with you guys.
Speaker 1: Now, and John was asked by the way, hey, is
Speaker 1: this the official news stance that we're basically walking away
Speaker 1: from Israel certainly this administration, and listen to his response
Speaker 1: on that here.
Speaker 5: Now, for the first time in a while, the United
Speaker 5: States is at least restaining and allowing to go through.
Speaker 2: So the perception broadly is that the US.
Speaker 6: Has no longer got Israel's back when it comes to conversations.
Speaker 4: I guess you, way, yeah, that's just not true, and
Speaker 4: nothing can be further from the truth.
Speaker 7: Quite frankly, of.
Speaker 4: Course, we still have Israel's back. I mean, as you
Speaker 4: and I are speaking, we are still providing tools and capabilities,
Speaker 4: weapons systems so that can defend itself against which we
Speaker 4: agree is still a viable threat.
Speaker 1: Tom Os, I mean you hear him there, He's like, no, No,
Speaker 1: nothing's further from the truth. Like we're still we're still
Speaker 1: setting them some stuff. So everybody calmed down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Look, this White House unfortunately lies regularly. Here's what
Speaker 2: Lynda Thomas Greenfeld said, who is Biden's ambassador to the UN. Quote,
Speaker 2: this is about their request to condemn a maasas quote
Speaker 2: certain key edits were ignored, including our request to add
Speaker 2: a condemnation of Hamas, and we didn't agree with everything
Speaker 2: in the resolution. For that reason, we were unfortunately note
Speaker 2: that word, unfortunately, not able to vote yes. In other words,
Speaker 2: we really would have loved to condemn Israel along with
Speaker 2: the other anti Semites, but but we couldn't quite do that. However,
Speaker 2: she continues, as I've said before, we fully support some
Speaker 2: of the critical objectives of this non binding resolution. Okay,
Speaker 2: so even for UN double speak, that's something. And let
Speaker 2: me say something that that there are a couple of
Speaker 2: really important points on this one. In many ways, Kirby
Speaker 2: is not lying. And here's why he's not lying, because
Speaker 2: Joe Biden and this White House from the day they
Speaker 2: arrived in the White House have been undermining Israel. That
Speaker 2: is not new. The press hasn't reported on if this
Speaker 2: UN resolution is just the most visible example. But understand,
Speaker 2: Biden came into the White House. One of the very
Speaker 2: first things he did is stopped enforcing oil sanctions on
Speaker 2: Iran and allowed what's ended up being over eighty billion
Speaker 2: dollars to flow to the Iahtola, who chanced death to
Speaker 2: Israel and death to America. The Iatola. By the way,
Speaker 2: Iran funds ninety percent of Hamas and ninety percent of Hezebela.
Speaker 2: So that's one of the first things they did. One
Speaker 2: of the second things they did is send hundreds of
Speaker 2: millions of dollars to Gaza. Gaza, the elected leaders of
Speaker 2: Gaza or Hamas, the terrorist organization. To do that, they
Speaker 2: had to waive US anti terrorism law. I led a
Speaker 2: group of nineteen senators urging him, don't do that, don't
Speaker 2: give money to Hamas, don't fund terrorism. By the way,
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty House Democrats sent a counter letter saying, yes,
Speaker 2: do send the money to Gaza, even though it'll go
Speaker 2: to Hamas, even though it'll go to terrorism. We now
Speaker 2: know how the Biden administration resolved that issue, which is
Speaker 2: they concluded, yes, it was highly likely the money would
Speaker 2: go to Hamas, it was highly likely would go to terrorism,
Speaker 2: but instead of following US anti terrorism laws, they simply
Speaker 2: waived it. And then understand what happened on October seventh.
Speaker 2: October seventh is unfolding. The world is watching in horror
Speaker 2: as twelve hundred people are murdered by vicious terrorists who
Speaker 2: are doing things the world has not seen since the Nazis.
Speaker 2: This was these were Nazi ta tactics by terrorists that
Speaker 2: hate Jews because they're Jews. And within hours of the
Speaker 2: October seventh attack, what did the Biden administration do. The
Speaker 2: State Department set out a public tweet urging Israel do
Speaker 2: not retaliate, do not strike back. I called them out.
Speaker 2: They deleted that tweet. Then the next day, Tony Blink
Speaker 2: and the Secretary of State sent out another tweet saying
Speaker 2: Israel should not retally it, do not try to kill
Speaker 2: the terrorists. Again. I called him out again. They deleted it,
Speaker 2: over and over and over again. Literally from October seventh,
Speaker 2: Biden has been pressing cease fire, pause, stop killing terrorists,
Speaker 2: stop killing terrorist, stop killing terrorists. And then what has
Speaker 2: happened is the Democrat political base has gone crazy. There
Speaker 2: is a strong anti Israel, anti Semitic, anti Jewish, angry
Speaker 2: leftist corps in the Democrat Party, and the Democrats are
Speaker 2: terrified of them.
Speaker 1: How much of this comes down to the election coming up?
Speaker 1: And I asked that, and I'll give you my opinion
Speaker 1: is I think this has a lot to do Yeah,
Speaker 1: with younger voters, Senator, that they're afraid, are going to
Speaker 1: abandon the Democratic Party if they don't back the Palestinians
Speaker 1: and Hamas and everybody but Israel. And they're seeing the
Speaker 1: poll numbers, and they're seeing that they need young people
Speaker 1: to come out and vote for them, that the under
Speaker 1: thirty five voter in the Democratic Party is vitally important
Speaker 1: to their success. Is part of this, just saying what
Speaker 1: we are willing to abandon our allies. And it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter if this puts us in bed with Terris as
Speaker 1: long as we have a better chance of winning the
Speaker 1: next election.
Speaker 2: So there's no doubt the political pressure is a factor,
Speaker 2: and a significant factor. In fact, I'm told that there's
Speaker 2: a joke in Jerusalem that Chuck Schumer's speech was entirely
Speaker 2: about the two state solution, the two states being Michigan
Speaker 2: and Nevada. In other words, Schumer was entirely responding to
Speaker 2: the fact that a big chunk of the Democrat Party
Speaker 2: is going crazy because they hate Israel. But I want
Speaker 2: you to understand, it's not just responding to the fact
Speaker 2: that they've got some crazy leftists. Listen. One of the
Speaker 2: reasons I am so sad, I'm so concerned about what
Speaker 2: has happened there are a lot of people, a lot
Speaker 2: of people in the pro Israel community who focus on
Speaker 2: the squad. They focus on the crazy anti Semites in
Speaker 2: the House. They focus on AOC and ilhan Omar and
Speaker 2: Corey Bush. And look, those people are out there. They
Speaker 2: hate Israel. They're vicious, and it's kind of easy in
Speaker 2: the pro Israel community to say that's the problem is
Speaker 2: the extreme leftist But I'm going to tell you that's
Speaker 2: not the problem. The problem is the so called mainstream Democrats.
Speaker 2: This demand that Israel throw net and Yahoo out, throw
Speaker 2: their elected prime minister out, came from Chuck Schumer, the
Speaker 2: elected Senate majority leader, the leader of the Democrats in
Speaker 2: the Senate. This decision to abandon Israel in the United
Speaker 2: Nations came from Joe Biden, the President of the United States.
Speaker 2: These are not members of the Squad. And understand with Biden,
Speaker 2: his undermining Israel is not new. He's appointed anti Israel
Speaker 2: radicals throughout the White House, throughout the State Department. They're
Speaker 2: all Obama holdovers. And to be honest, in the Obama
Speaker 2: White House they had the same same issue where they
Speaker 2: undermined Israel constantly. But let me tell you, actually, a
Speaker 2: very famous exchange that occurred with Joe Biden more than
Speaker 2: forty years ago, in nineteen eighty two. In nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 2: I was eleven years old. You were a baby. You
Speaker 2: were what one year old?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I was one years old. Yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: In nineteen eighty two, Joe Biden is on the Senate
Speaker 2: Foreign Relations Committee and he's talking with Israel's Prime minister.
Speaker 2: Then Manachan began and he threatens, began with cutting off
Speaker 2: US aid to Israel if Israel did not stop its
Speaker 2: quotes settlements in Juday and Samaria, and began responded with
Speaker 2: one of the most famous remarks by a prime minister
Speaker 2: in decades. And this was said to Joe Biden after
Speaker 2: he was doing what he's doing now, which is trying
Speaker 2: to bully Israel. Here's what began said, quote, don't threaten
Speaker 2: us with cutting off your aid. It will not work.
Speaker 2: I am not a Jew with trembling knees. I am
Speaker 2: a proud Jew with thirty seven hundred years of civilized history.
Speaker 2: Nobody came to our aid when we were dying in
Speaker 2: the gas chambers and ovens. Nobody came to our aid
Speaker 2: when we were striving to create our country. We paid
Speaker 2: for it, we fought for it, we died for it.
Speaker 2: We will stand by our principles, we will defend them,
Speaker 2: and when necessary, we will die for them again with
Speaker 2: or without your aid. Joe Biden has been doing this
Speaker 2: for more than forty years, undermining Israel. But now he's
Speaker 2: not just some senator from Delaware spouting off. He is
Speaker 2: sadly the President of the United States, and it is
Speaker 2: extraordinarily consequential. Yeah.
Speaker 1: As much as they're trying to make this an election
Speaker 1: your issue to bring in young voters, I think conservatives
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump better make this an election your issue
Speaker 1: that you stand with your ally Israel. For all of
Speaker 1: these reasons, it's going to be I think a very
Speaker 1: very big issue.
Speaker 2: Come and Ben, let me say something. Every single Democrat
Speaker 2: senator and every single Democrat House member should be forced
Speaker 2: to ask answer the question, do you agree with Chuck
Speaker 2: Schumer demanding that Israel throw out its elected prime minister?
Speaker 2: And do you agree with Joe Biden abandoning Israel at
Speaker 2: the Security Council and allowing the enemies of Israel to
Speaker 2: force a resolution effectively condemning Israel and demanding an immediate
Speaker 2: cease fire that they stop killing HMAS terrorists. As far
Speaker 2: as I can tell, most Democrat senators and House members
Speaker 2: have not answered that because the press does not want
Speaker 2: to ask them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's no accountability, that's for sure, and it should be,
Speaker 1: like you said, an election your issue. Let's talk real
Speaker 1: quick about your finances and your retirement. If you have
Speaker 1: been looking at what's been going on, then you know
Speaker 1: that inflation has been eating up the dollar. With inflation
Speaker 1: still well above the Fed's target rate and consumer prices
Speaker 1: insanely higher than they were three years ago, you need
Speaker 1: a financial plan that ensures that the money you save
Speaker 1: today will be enough for you tomorrow. That's where gold
Speaker 1: and silver come in. Gold and silver have historically been
Speaker 1: good hedges against inflation and a great way to protect
Speaker 1: your hard earned retirement funds. And when it comes to
Speaker 1: buying gold and silver, you need a trusted partner. That's
Speaker 1: why I want you to reach out and talk to
Speaker 1: Freedom Gold USA. Not only do they preach for detection,
Speaker 1: but they also preach diversifying your assets. They're not saying
Speaker 1: put everything in gold and silver. And also here's this.

Speaker 1: than most major gold and silver firms out there, So

Speaker 1: want to move to another issue. There was an issue
Speaker 1: a interview, I should say that happened on Sunday. A
Speaker 1: lot of people don't watch sixty minutes anymore, but the
Speaker 1: Mexican President did do a sit down interview, and it
Speaker 1: actually took a couple of days until anyone noticed it,
Speaker 1: which was I think the most unique part of this.
Speaker 1: First off, and then what he said it was diplomatic blackmail,
Speaker 1: as it's been described by many, as the Mexican President
Speaker 1: said that the flow of illegal immigrants will continue unless
Speaker 1: the US meets some of his new demands. In an interview,
Speaker 1: he was asked about the flow of not just illegals,
Speaker 1: but also drugs coming across the southern border. And here's
Speaker 1: what the President of Mexico said about America.
Speaker 7: He thinks you have the power in this moment to
Speaker 7: slow down migration.
Speaker 3: Do you plan to We'll just say we do and
Speaker 3: want to continue doing it, but we do want for
Speaker 3: the root causes to be attended to, for them to
Speaker 3: be seriously looked at.
Speaker 5: With the ear of the White House, President Lopez Obrador
Speaker 5: proposed his fix that the United States commit twenty billion
Speaker 5: dollars a year to poor countries in Latin America and
Speaker 5: the Caribbean, lift sanctions on Venezuela and the Cuban embargo,
Speaker 5: and legalize millions of law abiding Mexicans living in the US.
Speaker 7: If they don't do the things that you've said need
Speaker 7: to be done, then what.
Speaker 6: Bomb the flow of migrants?
Speaker 7: And if you will continue, your critics have said what
Speaker 7: you're doing, or what you're asking for to help secure
Speaker 7: the border is diplomatic blackmail. What do you say?
Speaker 6: I'm speaking frankly, we have to say things as they are.
Speaker 1: Senator, there's like five different things I want to discuss
Speaker 1: with you. Let's just start with number one. This is
Speaker 1: diplomatic blackmail. Twenty billion a year. And if you give
Speaker 1: me twenty billion a year and then you allow all
Speaker 1: the illegal emirates to become citizens in your country they
Speaker 1: are there, then you give what we want with Cuba
Speaker 1: in Venezuela. And then if you keep giving us twenty
Speaker 1: billion a year, we might stop the flow of fednel
Speaker 1: coming across the southern border. This is extortion on a
Speaker 1: level that I can't even get my head around.
Speaker 2: From Mexico, well, look, of course it is. And the
Speaker 2: Mexican president everyone calls him Amlo. Amelo is short for
Speaker 2: his full name, which is Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. He
Speaker 2: is a thug. He is a hard leftist. He's been
Speaker 2: a hard leftist his entire life. He has been vocally
Speaker 2: and visually viciously anti American his entire life. That has
Speaker 2: been That's how he got elected. That was his campaign
Speaker 2: standing up against the Yankee imperialists to the north. That's
Speaker 2: who he is. And by the way, notice his demands.
Speaker 2: His demands are in the embargo against Cuba and in
Speaker 2: the sanctions against Venezuela. He's standing with communist dictators in
Speaker 2: Cuba and Venezuela. That's who he aligns himself with, is
Speaker 2: the hard left, anti American communist axis through Latin America.
Speaker 2: That's who Amlo is. So it's not surprising that's who
Speaker 2: he's always been. Now that being said, is he trying
Speaker 2: to extort America? Of course he is the threat that
Speaker 2: the flow of migrants will continue unless you pay us
Speaker 2: off twenty billion a year to Latin American countries. It's
Speaker 2: kind of like, you know, a mob enforcer. Nice little
Speaker 2: bar you got here, shame if something happened to it, boy,
Speaker 2: a fire would do real damage. He's saying, well, we'll
Speaker 2: keep these migrants coming unless you pay us off. Just
Speaker 2: you know, a bag of cash each week would be good.
Speaker 2: I'll send my guys to pick it up. Yes, that's
Speaker 2: exactly what he's trying to do.
Speaker 1: But it's almost like, is there a difference between the
Speaker 1: President of Mexico and the cartels of Mexico Because the
Speaker 1: way he was taught working seems like the same type
Speaker 1: of conversation you'd have with the narcos.
Speaker 2: Well and and by the way Amlo. One of the
Speaker 2: problems is his government has very much been in bed
Speaker 2: with the narcos, and it is devastating the nation of Mexico.
Speaker 2: The people of Mexico are facing murders, they're facing kidnapping,
Speaker 2: they're that they're they're facing enormous violence from these multi
Speaker 2: billion dollar global criminal cartels that that Amlo has facilitated.
Speaker 2: But I'm going to say something that's going to surprise you.
Speaker 2: I'm actually not terribly upset that AMLO's doing that. That's
Speaker 2: who he is. That's you know, it's it's like.
Speaker 1: Brand is what you're saying. It's not like he's betraying us.
Speaker 1: This is who he is.
Speaker 2: He is an anti American leftist who is going to
Speaker 2: behave like a thug. He is just like Nicholas Maduro.
Speaker 2: He is just like the Chavista's in Venezuela. He's just
Speaker 2: like the Gastriista's, uh, Fidel Castro and all of their
Speaker 2: prodigy in Cuba. And and that's who he is. But
Speaker 2: but you know why I'm actually not all that worked
Speaker 2: up about what he said.
Speaker 1: Why is that.
Speaker 2: Because Joe Biden wants him to say this. Understand this
Speaker 2: crisis at our southern border is not because of Amlo,
Speaker 2: like his comment, you could stop it, couldn't you, And
Speaker 2: and well, yes, but pass money for us to stop it. Understand,
Speaker 2: Joe Biden doesn't want it to stop. Chuck Schumer doesn't
Speaker 2: want it to stop. The Democrats don't want it to stop.
Speaker 2: The ten point four million illegal immigrants, they're glad of them.
Speaker 2: They want more. They want ten million to become twenty million,
Speaker 2: to become thirty million, those they view as future Democrat voters.
Speaker 2: And so Amlow listen, you know, do you get mad
Speaker 2: when a little like yapping dog comes and yaps at
Speaker 2: the door. No, AMLO's gonna scream. So what if we
Speaker 2: had a president? I'll tell you, when Donald Trump was president,
Speaker 2: Amla was terrified of him, utterly and completely terrified. And
Speaker 2: by the way, Amlo actually did a pretty good job
Speaker 2: when Trump was president. Because I'm so afraid, let's pause
Speaker 2: and ask how did we secure the border under Trump?
Speaker 2: What happened? And I'll tell you what happened. Trump threatened Amlow,
Speaker 2: and what he said is you either help us secure
Speaker 2: the border or I'm going to impose I Donald J. Trump,
Speaker 2: I'm going to impose a twenty five percent tariff on
Speaker 2: everything coming out of Mexico, and Amlow ran screaming. It
Speaker 2: terrified him because he believed Trump would do it. It
Speaker 2: wasn't an empty threat, and he was terrified. And what happened.
Speaker 2: Number one, AMLO puts six thousand troops on Mexico's southern border.
Speaker 2: You know, remember the shape of Mexico. Mexico is much
Speaker 2: more narrow at the south than it is at the north.
Speaker 2: At the north, Mexico has a two thousand mile border
Speaker 2: with the United States. At the south, their border is
Speaker 2: much much smaller. AMLO puts six thousand soldiers on their
Speaker 2: southern border to stop the flow. And critically, because of
Speaker 2: Trump's threat, AMLO agreed to the Remain in Mexico Agreement.
Speaker 2: What was remained in Mexico. It said anyone that crossed
Speaker 2: illegally into Mexico, and most of the people coming at
Speaker 2: that time and now were not Mexicans, they were from
Speaker 2: elsewhere at the time, they were mostly from Central and
Speaker 2: South America, remain in Mexico. Said they would stay in Mexico.
Speaker 2: These illegal immigrants would remain in Mexico while their US
Speaker 2: asylum case was preceding. And what happened when suddenly people
Speaker 2: paid cartels thousands of dollars, traveled all the way north
Speaker 2: and discovered, Holy Cow, I don't get to come into America.
Speaker 2: I'm stuck in Mexico. I can't cross over. The numbers
Speaker 2: plummeted to the lowest rate in forty five years. So
Speaker 2: when Amlo says this, by the way, the incident Joe
Speaker 2: Biden became president, the number of skyrocketed because Biden is weak.
Speaker 2: Amlo isn't afraid of him. Amelo isn't scared at all.
Speaker 2: And actually everything AMLO is threatening Joe Biden and every
Speaker 2: other Democrat in Congress wants him to do that.
Speaker 1: It's almost like he's empowered to say this because he's
Speaker 1: actually backed up by the American policy. That's what you're
Speaker 1: telling us.
Speaker 2: That that is exactly right, that he's doing what what
Speaker 2: they know he'll do. He's look, look, Marxist is gonna Marxist.
Speaker 2: That's who they are. He is going to engage in
Speaker 2: anti American rhetoric. The only thing he responds to his strength.
Speaker 2: This Biden white House is not capable of strength against leftists,
Speaker 2: against enemies of America. They're only capable of strength against
Speaker 2: our friends. They're only capable of undermining allies of America.
Speaker 2: But because Amlo is a leftist, just like in Cuba,
Speaker 2: they're communists. Just like in Venezuela, their communists. Just like
Speaker 2: Lula in Brazil is an anti American leftist, just like
Speaker 2: Petro in Colombia is an anti American leftist. Every anti
Speaker 2: American leftist. This administration gives everything they want, and usually
Speaker 2: they want to give him money. So when actually Amlo'
Speaker 2: says lift the Cuban embargo, you know what Biden Whitehouse
Speaker 2: wants to lift the Cuban in bargo. When Amlow says
Speaker 2: in the sanctions against Venezuela, you know what Biden wants
Speaker 2: to end the sanctions against Venezuela. They are to use
Speaker 2: the old communist phrase, they are fellow travelers.
Speaker 1: You mentioned the drug aspect of this, and I want
Speaker 1: you to hear what he had to say and everybody listening,
Speaker 1: because there's zero compassion. The number one killer forty nine
Speaker 1: under this country's fetanyl in this nation more than anything else,
Speaker 1: that's what's killing us. And he was asked about the drugs,
Speaker 1: and he kind of mocked America and laughed at America's
Speaker 1: demise when it comes to drugs and the deaths that
Speaker 1: are happening. Take a listen.
Speaker 7: The head of the DEA says cartels are mass producing fetanyl,
Speaker 7: and the US State Department has said that most of
Speaker 7: it is coming out of Mexico. Are they wrong?
Speaker 6: See yes, Oh no, Rather, they don't have all the
Speaker 6: information because fentanyls is also produced in the United States.
Speaker 7: The State Department says most of it's coming from Mexico.
Speaker 6: Fentanyl is produced in the United States, in Canada and
Speaker 6: in Mexico, and the chemical precursors come from Asia. Do
Speaker 6: you know why we don't have the drug consumption that
Speaker 6: you have in the United States Because we have customs,
Speaker 6: traditions and we don't have the problem of the disintegration
Speaker 6: of the family.
Speaker 7: Yes, but there is drug consumption in Mexico.
Speaker 6: But we put very little.
Speaker 7: So why the violence then in Mexico.
Speaker 6: Burke, Because drug trafficking exists, but not the consumption.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's laughing when he gives the last answer there,
Speaker 1: like he's smiling and smirking when he's like, Aha, this
Speaker 1: is hilarious, Like I can't believe you guys are even
Speaker 1: asking me these questions.
Speaker 2: Well, Look, that's exactly right, and he's lying when he's
Speaker 2: suggesting that fentanyl is manufactured in large quantities in the
Speaker 2: United States. The vast majority of what is killing Americans
Speaker 2: is being manufactured in Mexico. Now he's right that the
Speaker 2: precursors are coming from China. It's the Chinese communists who
Speaker 2: are sending it to Mexico. It's the Mexican drug cartels
Speaker 2: who are manufacturing it, and they're smuggling it over the border.
Speaker 2: There's some fentanyl production in the United States, but it
Speaker 2: is very minor compared to the volume coming from Mexico.
Speaker 2: He knows that. But this is and by the way,
Speaker 2: understand the total volume last year, over one hundred thousand
Speaker 2: Americans died of drug overdoses. Seventy percent of that, over
Speaker 2: seventy thousand, was from fentanyl, and the vast majority of
Speaker 2: that was Chinese fentanyl manufactured in Mexico by the Mexican
Speaker 2: drug cartels. And AMLO is saying, sadly, with Biden's blessing
Speaker 2: in the Democrats blessing, we're going to keep it flowing.

Speaker 2: Well, look, I hope everyone has a wonderful Good Friday.
Speaker 2: I hap you, hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend.
Speaker 2: For those who are Christians, I hope you reflect on
Speaker 2: the extraordinary sacrifice that God sent his son Jesus to
Speaker 2: give his life for us. And on Good Friday he
Speaker 2: was crucified for your sins, for my sins, and he
Speaker 2: died and was buried, and three days later and we
Speaker 2: celebrated on Easter, he rose from the dead, and rose
Speaker 2: from the dead to bring us the gift of salvation.
Speaker 2: And and Easter is is a wonderful time to reflect
Speaker 2: on that extraordinary love that that God has for us.
Speaker 2: It's also a wonderful time to be with family. And
Speaker 2: and so I'll tell you I have been criss crossing
Speaker 2: the state of Texas for this entire past week. I've
Speaker 2: been all over the place. And and so I'm looking
Speaker 2: forward to the next couple of days just taking some downtime,
Speaker 2: uh with with Heidi and the girls. We're going to
Speaker 2: go to a ranch of a friend of ours and
Speaker 2: just spend some time uh with the ranches is actually
Speaker 2: the some friends of our daughters. So they're gonna play
Speaker 2: and and and hang out on the ranch. And I
Speaker 2: suspect we'll sit out by the fire at night and
Speaker 2: and we may smoke a cigar too, and and just
Speaker 2: spend time with family. And actually the ranch has I
Speaker 2: think twenty cats at the ranch. So so my daughters
Speaker 2: in particular will be thrilled because twenty cats is a
Speaker 2: lot more than they're used to. And so it's going
Speaker 2: to be a really good time just to be together
Speaker 2: with family. And I would encourage everyone, don't let work
Speaker 2: consume so much time. Don't let your other activities consume
Speaker 2: so much time that you don't pause, particularly at the holidays,
Speaker 2: to hug your wife, to hug your husband, to hug
Speaker 2: your kids, to just sit and listen to them. Don't
Speaker 2: even just talk to them, listen to them. Uh and
Speaker 2: and and just relax and love on your family. This
Speaker 2: is this is a wonderful time to do that.
Speaker 1: Hey man, don't forget. We did a show Monday, Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Fridays and if you missed anything this week, we do
Speaker 1: the weekend Review on Saturday. So maybe if you're traveling
Speaker 1: over the weekend to get to the lake or whatever,
