WEBVTT - FOUR Terror Attacks in Ten Days, and Still Dems Won't Fund DHS 0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:01.280 Welcome. 0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:04.480 It is Verdic with Center Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, 0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.200 and if you're listening to us on radio stations across 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.120 the country, it's so nice to have you with us. Reminder, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.200 if you're listening to this radio show, it's a podcast 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:15.280 that we do three days a week, So download Verdict 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.560 with Ted Cruz wherever you get your podcasts. 0:00:17.880 --> 0:00:18.160 Centater. 0:00:18.239 --> 0:00:20.320 We've got a lot to talk about on today's show, 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:23.960 especially in light of these most recent terrorist attacks happening 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:27.040 right here in the United States of America. 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:30.000 Well, Ben, you're right, we're sitting here today in an 0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:33.520 extraordinarily dangerous time. In the last ten days, we've had 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:38.559 four separate terror attacks, all carried out by radical Islamic terrorists, 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.080 all targeting Americans, seeking to kill Americans, and all at 0:00:43.080 --> 0:00:45.480 a time when there's a military conflict in the Middle 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.360 East that is unfolding as we speak, and when we 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:53.959 have multiple radical Islamic clerics who've issued fatwaws calling on 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.960 terrorists to murder Americans. Understand that we went through four 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.680 years of Joe Biden with a why open border. Twelve 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:06.200 million illegal immigrants came into this country, including thousands of terrorists, 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:09.840 we had four years of basically a red carpet inviting 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:15.640 Hamas terrorists, inviting Hesbala terrorists, inviting Iranian terrorists come to America. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:20.040 And we've now seen in less than two weeks, four 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.959 separate terror attacks. And I'll tell you that the part 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.640 of this that just makes your brain explode is the 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:33.039 Democrats in the Senate keep voting over and over and 0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:38.000 over again to defund the Department of Homeland Security. Now, now, 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.120 what is the Department of Homeland Security. DHS was created 0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:46.600 after September eleventh, and the entire purpose of DHS is 0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:51.440 to prevent terrorist attacks, and the Democrats keep voting over 0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:53.800 and over and over again not to pay the people 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:58.880 at DHS to defund it. This is dangerous, and Ben, 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.040 I want to be very serious. I am deeply concerned 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:06.000 that we could be on the precipice of a major 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.960 terrorist attack. Not a terrorist attack that kills one, two 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.239 or three people, but a terrorist attack that kills hundreds 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:16.360 or even thousands of people. And the agency whose responsibility 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.360 day in and day out is stop the terrorists before 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.800 they kill Americans, the Democrats have defunded. The media is 0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.080 ignoring it, and the Democrats have said they feel quote 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:31.440 unquote serene about shutting down the Department of Homeland Security, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.960 even in this greatly heightened threat environment. 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:37.120 It really is incredible. 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:38.880 And before we get more into that, I want to 0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:41.320 tell you about our good friends real quick at Rough Greens. 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:44.840 The Ferguson family got bigger over the holidays with a 0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:47.480 new puppy, and I can tell you having one dog 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:50.680 that is over a decade old and a new dog 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:53.720 that's just months old, there's one thing they both have 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.480 in common. I want them to live a great quality life. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.800 And that is exactly why I give them Greens. Now, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.200 I've been telling you about my older dog and some 0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:07.000 of the symptoms that he was having, slowing down and 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:11.440 itching and having bad breath, losing interest in playtime. That 0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:14.520 is just part of the aging process, but it doesn't 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.640 have to be. And after just a few weeks of 0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.600 Rough Greens we start to see a real difference. The 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:23.040 stuff is truly amazing, and if you have a dog 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.440 you love, you've got to try Rough Greens for your 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.720 dog for life.

Senator, you mentioned that they 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:44.440 seem to have no problem shutting down specifically the Department 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:45.160 of Home and Security. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:46.640 We're talking about the Democrats here. 0:04:47.320 --> 0:04:49.640 I want you to walk us through what it was 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:53.880 like on Thursday, because just my gut instinct was before 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:56.279 you guys left town for the week of work that 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.960 was done, they would be sensible enough seeing these attacks 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.800 to say we've got it. We've got we can't have 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.480 this political liability on ICE. It's going to come back 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.479 on us if there is a major tears attack because 0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:10.560 we're the ones that have shut down the Department of 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:14.200 hogand Security. Were any of your colleagues willing to like 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:17.320 share that with their other colleagues and the Democratic side 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:19.279 the isle, like, hey, guys, this is a bad look. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:21.760 We do not need to be playing this political game 0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:22.320 right now. 0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:25.560 Look if they are, I don't see it at all. 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.640 We voted again on Thursday to fund the Department of 0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:34.679 Homeland Security. Every Republican voted to fund DHS. Every single 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:40.000 Democrat except John Fetterman once again voted no shut down DHS. 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.200 And understand by the way, they claim they're doing it 0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:46.440 because they hate ICE. Yeah, because they want reforms and Ice. 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.039 Here's the amazing thing. Do you know what they haven't 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:50.839 defunded Ice? 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:51.880 Yeah. 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.640 Ice is actually funded because when we took up the 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.080 Working Families tax cut last year, the big reconciliation bill, 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:02.760 we knew the Democrats were going to be open border radicals, 0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.440 and so we funded ICE through through the year. So 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:09.760 ICE is fully funded, like all of their antics are 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:14.240 not taking a penny from ICE agents. ICE is fully funded. 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:19.320 So they are shutting down the remainder of DHS. They're 0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:23.000 shutting down the Coast Guard and not paying Coastguard men 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.760 and women that they're shutting down TSA. Look, we are 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:32.400 seeing lines at airports. Houston Hobby Airport last week there 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.840 were lines four hours long people heading out to spring break. 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.160 Can you imagine how pissed off you'd be you take 0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:43.640 your family to the airport, your kids are there. Let's 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.160 say you're super, super uptight, you get to the airport 0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:49.280 an hour and a half ahead of time. You should 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.320 be there an hour ahead of time, but you're really uptight. 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.400 You're there an hour and a half ahead of time, 0:06:54.160 --> 0:06:55.840 and you miss your plane by two and a half 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:59.839 hours because the TSA line is four hours. Look, I'll 0:06:59.839 --> 0:07:01.359 tell tell you what I go through. And I'm on 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.000 a plane every week, multiple times a week. As i 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:07.359 go through and see the TSA agents, I'm trying to 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:10.000 make it a point to stop. I do this regularly anyway, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:13.800 but especially now to say to them, thank you. Yeah, 0:07:13.840 --> 0:07:15.680 And I gotta say, those men and women are coming 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.600 into work with no paycheck. And by the way, look 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:23.360 TSA agents are not rich. No, many of them are 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.280 living paycheck to paycheck. You know what hasn't come their paycheck. 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.160 And so a bunch of them, a lot of them 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.480 is uber and lyft drivers and other part time jobs 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.640 because they need their cash. 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:35.160 And at some points we're going to see more and 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.600 more of them say all right, this job is not 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.480 for me. I can't be in a job that doesn't 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:44.160 pay a paycheck. I'm done. And that is happening. So 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.680 you've got TSA agents not being paid, Coast guardsmen not 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.640 being paid, FEMA officials, those in charge of dealing with 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.640 natural disasters not being paid, and then thousands of just 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.720 employees at the Department of Homeland Security, employees charge with 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:03.120 monitoring terrorists, with stopping terrorist attacks. And the Democrats are 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.200 not only not paying them. I want to quote Brian 0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.600 shots Brian Shotts is a Democrat from Hawaii. He is 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.920 widely seen as the Democrat leader in waiting. I think 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:16.880 Chuck Schumer cannot win another election. The Democrats will primary 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:21.600 him either AOC or Mandami will beat him in a primary. 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.600 In fact, I think Schumer won't even run. Brian Schotz 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.760 has seen as the next Democrat leader. Let me give 0:08:27.760 --> 0:08:30.640 you shots this quote this week, he said, Democrats are 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:36.559 quote very serene with what is going on concerning DHS. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.880 Why because the media won't hold them to account, so 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.880 they don't mind shutting down the agency stopping terror attacks 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.840 even after we've had four radical Islamic terror attacks in 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:46.960 ten day center. 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:49.400 One of the things that I think it's important that 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.320 we go back and give a stat to and I 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:54.520 was looking this up earlier, but when Donald Trump became 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:58.120 president in twenty seventeen, you had two people on the 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.680 terrorists watch list that came across this Southern board that 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:02.520 we caught. Now we don't know how many got across 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:05.760 that we didn't catch. Godaways in twenty eighteen there were six, 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.760 and twenty nineteen apparently there was zero. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:09.880 In twenty twenty there was three. 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.280 Now you look at those numbers, that's pretty good when 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.160 it comes to board security. We watched when Biden came 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.400 in office twenty or fifteen in twenty twenty one, then 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.160 it skyrocketed to ninety eight in twenty twenty two, one 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:26.439 hundred and sixty nine and twenty twenty three, and then 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:30.440 well over one hundred encounters in twenty twenty four. I 0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.360 give that number because this goes back to the terrorist 0:09:33.440 --> 0:09:33.920 threat we have. 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.319 Now, there's concerns of sleeper sales. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:38.800 There's concerns of people that came across the southern border 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:42.120 that were terrafts. They're on the Terrafts watch list, that 0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.400 were never caught there, the Godaways. But what we do 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.920 know is when they open the southern border and let 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.320 anyone come in. I go back to that famous moment 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:55.520 in video where that forkliff lifted up the bob wire 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.360 and the fencing in Texas and we saw all of 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:01.719 those people come across the border. The federal government did that, 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:04.839 and now we're faced with all these terrorist attacks, and 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:08.080 there's terror. There's Americans that are concerned just like me, 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.720 who's in this country that we don't know about. 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:13.360 Look Ben for good reason. And by the way, those 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.960 numbers vastly underestimated because they do not include the roughly 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.760 two million what are called godaways that enter under the 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:23.240 Biden administration. The Godaways are the people that we saw 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.839 signs they were there, but border patrol did not encounter them, 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.480 and so we don't know the details. And the god 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.880 aways are much much more likely to be criminals. They're 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:35.000 much more likely to be murderers or rapists or child molesters, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.680 and they're much more likely to be terrorists. During the 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:42.080 Biden administration, CBP issued a warning to its agents beyond 0:10:42.080 --> 0:10:47.400 the guard for Hamas terrorists, Hesbela terrists, Palestinian Islamic Jehad terrorists. 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:52.080 And yet they continued these open border policies. And understand, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:54.520 the open border policies were a choice. We now know 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.520 that for a fact, although regular listeners of a verdict 0:10:57.600 --> 0:10:59.679 knew that at the time. How do we know that? 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:02.520 Because the instant Donald Trump came back into office, the 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:06.199 illegal border crossings dropped ninety nine percent. Joe Biden, the 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.080 Democrats said, gosh, we got to pass different legislation. No, no, 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.240 you didn't. You just needed to have a president who 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.400 would follow the law, who would actually enforce the law. 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.840 And I want to break down the four terror attacks 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:18.880 because they all have similarities. They were carried out by 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:23.880 radical Islamic terrorists. They were targeting Americans. It started in Austin, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:28.840 Texas with a legal immigrant who had come to the 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:35.240 United States who showed up in Austin wearing a shirt 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:38.440 that a sweatshirt that said property of Allah, wearing a 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:42.400 shirt underneath it with an Iranian flag, had a Quran 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.640 in his car and with a rifle and pistol. He 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.959 just opened fire randomly at people in a bar at 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.920 two am in Austin on Sixth Street. That was the 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:56.679 first terror attack we saw a week and a half ago. 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:03.800 The second terror attack we saw was two Muslim teenagers 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.800 from Pennsylvania who came to New York. Came to New 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:11.520 York with homemade bombs. They said that they were inspired 0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:16.200 by ISIS. They threw those bombs outside at a protest 0:12:16.240 --> 0:12:21.079 that was happening outside Marimondami's residence. The bombs were filled 0:12:21.120 --> 0:12:24.160 with nails and screws and bolts. They were designed to 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:29.000 be anti personnel bombs. Fortunately, these terrorists were not very 0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:30.720 smart terrorists. They didn't know how to make a bomb 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:33.320 that actually went off, so the bombs they threw did 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:37.240 not explode. But they told law enforcement that their goal 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.040 was to kill more people than the Boston marathon bomber 0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:43.200 had killed. They said they only killed three people. And 0:12:43.280 --> 0:12:45.480 these guys wanted to kill a lot more. And then 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.280 we saw, just in the last couple of days, we 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:54.000 saw the deranged radical Islamic terrorists who drove drove his 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:58.360 vehicle into a Michigan synagogue. And that synagogue, understand, was 0:12:58.400 --> 0:13:01.120 a preschool and school. There were one hundred and forty 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.960 kids right there next to where he came in. And 0:13:04.000 --> 0:13:07.240 if you didn't have a brave security guard that took 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.120 out took out the deranged terrorist, you could have had 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.200 one hundred more kids killed. And then you had an 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:18.520 Old Dominion on other deranged terrorists. And to be clear, 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.440 this terrorist had been imprisoned, yes, for giving material support 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:28.400 to ISIS, and yet he was released from federal prison 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.880 under Joe Biden. Let me give you a little bit 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:36.440 of the background on the Old Dominion terrorist. He was 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.960 born in Sierra Leone. He became a naturalized US citizen. 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:44.559 He was radicalized by al Kaeda. He was convicted for 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:48.880 providing material support to ISIS. He was sentenced to eleven 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.880 years in prison, and then he was released from prison 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:55.320 early under Joe Biden. And he walked into an Old 0:13:55.320 --> 0:13:58.280 Dominion classroom and he asked the people there, he said, hey, 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:02.559 are y'all. Rotzi, he was looking four in particular US 0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.480 military to murder. Yeah, they said yes, and he opened fire. 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:11.600 And just like what happened in Michigan, you had a 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.520 Rozzi student who stood up and stabbed him, had a 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.480 knife on him, stabbed him and took him out. Many 0:14:17.600 --> 0:14:22.840 more students and or Rotzi soon to be soldiers, could 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:25.960 have been murdered if you had not had one brave 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.320 student step up and stop him. All three of these, 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:35.280 all four of these rather share striking patterns, and this 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.760 is exactly what DHS is designed. 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:42.200 Stop Yeah, I mean you will get DHS. And I 0:14:42.240 --> 0:14:43.480 go back to this funding fight. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:47.080 How long is it going to take for Democrats to 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:48.960 get their head out of their abs on this one? 0:14:50.200 --> 0:14:52.600 And I say this with fear, Senator, I want to 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.440 be very clear about that. Does it take a tragic, 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.600 bigger event for them to then wake up and say okay, 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.120 because you've had four in a week and a half 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.880 and that didn't shake them to do the right thing 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:08.240 on Thursday, all because the obsessed with going against ICE, 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.600 and you said it earlier. ICE has already been fully 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.880 funded for the year, So that's not what they're actually 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.280 doing here. It's almost as if they I mean, at 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:17.760 this point, I'm like, are you guys helping the terrorists 0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:19.520 more than the American people be safe? 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.840 I look out and say, yes, that's what you're doing. 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:22.840 You're helping them. 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:26.280 Ben. Let me tell you why they feel serene. They 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:29.680 feel serene because nobody holds them to account. They feel 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.600 serene because number one, they're left wing activists, don't care. 0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:37.000 They live in a bubble where everything is orange man bad, 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:40.400 everything is attacking Trump. But number two, the press is 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:44.920 fundamentally broken. The reason the Democrats are to use their 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:48.040 own words serene is they know, no matter how many 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.040 terror attacks occur while they've shut down DHS, the press 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.760 will never hold them to account. So, for example, here's 0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:59.280 what CNN tweeted out about the two terrorists who threw 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.680 through bombs in New York City, seeking to kill as 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.440 many people as possible. See Ann tweeted out the following quote. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:11.080 Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:14.960 for what could have been a normal day, enjoying the 0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:18.880 city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:21.720 their lives would dramat drastically changes. The pair would be 0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.080 arrested for throwing homemade bombs during an anti Muslim protest 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:29.640 outside Mayor zo Ron Mandami's home. That's ridiculous. 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.720 Having just come back from Israel, I want to paint 0:16:32.760 --> 0:16:36.440 you a picture. It's midnight, sirens are blaring and you 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:41.280 have only seconds to grab your child and run. Now 0:16:41.320 --> 0:16:44.280 imagine your elderly. Your legs don't work like they used to. 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:48.240 Getting downstairs feels impossible, and after all of that, you 0:16:48.360 --> 0:16:51.600 end up in a bomb shelter for hours, even days, 0:16:51.640 --> 0:16:55.480 because you can't make the trek again. This is what's 0:16:55.520 --> 0:17:01.600 happening across Israel as Operation Epic Fury continues. Are being traumatized, 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:06.040 families are just exhausted, and homes have been destroyed. And 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:09.480 that's why the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:14.199 there on the ground, bringing food, emergency equipment, care for 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.199 those children, and help for the elderly, and supplying the 0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.440 bomb shelters and medical centers for critically needed essentials. If 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.919 you've ever wondered what it looks like to stand for 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:28.320 Israel and stand for good against evil, this is it. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.440 And that's why I'm asking to now please act, give 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:35.560 forty five dollars right now to rush life saving essentials 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.640 to the vulnerables under fire. You can also call eight 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:44.280 eight eight for eight eight IFCJ. That's eight eight eight 0:17:44.800 --> 0:17:48.640 for eight eight IFCJ join me and give and make 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:53.040 a real difference online at IFCJ dot org. 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:57.119 That's IFCJ dot org. Senator. 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.080 We're talking about these tarist tax and I want to 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:01.239 go back to the DHS funding aspect of this, and 0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.480 you mentioned it before the break a moment ago, the 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.560 Department of Home Land Security not being funded and these 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:11.160 four terarist attacks in a normal world with the normal 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.840 media would be front page news and they'd be running 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.280 up and they'd be sticking a microphone in front of 0:18:16.280 --> 0:18:20.720 the face of the people that voted no to funding DHS. 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.240 I go back to the media when they were obsessed 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.480 with the price of eggs, remember, and they were trying 0:18:25.480 --> 0:18:27.320 to say that it was somehow Donald Trump's fault of 0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:30.320 the egg prices were high. They went like twenty four 0:18:30.320 --> 0:18:34.120 to seven coverage on that over eggs. But on this 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:39.440 issue they're completely gone from covering it and holding accountable 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.520 the Democratic leadership, like how are you guys holding this up? 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:46.159 There are dead Americans and that's not sensationalizing that as 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.320 a fact, there are dead Americans and terrorist attacks, and 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:52.280 you guys have unfunded the department that is supposed to 0:18:52.359 --> 0:18:55.399 be doing this in charge of it helping with US 0:18:55.440 --> 0:18:56.040 aiding with this. 0:18:56.680 --> 0:18:58.959 Why on earth are you doing this to Americans. 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:03.040 Not a single journalists at any of the major networks 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.240 got in the face of anyone that was leaving town 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.720 on Thursday from DC after yet again voting no to 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:10.800 funding DHS. 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.880 The Democrats, it is hard to overstate how little they're concerned. Look, 0:19:15.920 --> 0:19:19.480 I think they could leave DHS defunded for the rest 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.680 of the year. I mean, I mean, that's really how 0:19:21.720 --> 0:19:24.800 bad it is. They're not concerned at all. They don't 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.040 care about the people whose lives they're ruining. They don't 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:28.840 care about the people who can't pay their rent or 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:32.160 can't feed their kids, and they don't care about leaving 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:36.640 us exposed to a massive terrorist attack. And that seems harsh. 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.639 I don't like saying they don't care about it, because 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.439 but give me an alternative explanation. And I think the 0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.879 media plays a huge part in it because they believe 0:19:46.640 --> 0:19:50.320 there is zero cost, so they're appeasing their radical base. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.760 So look, the CNN tweet that I read just a 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:57.560 minute ago describing the two Isis inspired terrorists as just 0:19:57.920 --> 0:20:01.920 two Pennsylvania teenagers that could have had a normal day 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:06.640 enjoying the warm weather. Yeah like that. That was so ridiculous. 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.720 They deleted that tweet. But but but I also want 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.760 to play what what Abbie Phillips, who you know you've 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.840 been on her show with her? What she said about this? 0:20:16.000 --> 0:20:20.800 Because it shows shows just the mindset of CNN. Here 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:23.879 give a listen to how she described Abby Phillips, who 0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:26.320 you know you've been on her show with her? What 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:31.000 she said about this, because it shows shows just the 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.480 mindset of CNN. Here, give a listen to how she described. 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.640 Two Republicans say Muslims don't belong here after an attempted 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:42.760 terror attack against New York's mayor Zoron Mumdani and the 0:20:42.800 --> 0:20:47.160 House speaker, Mike Johnson says nothing really to condemn those comments. 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.600 That is shocking that she said that, and and it 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:53.480 did backfire as you described it, because she had to 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:58.120 come out center and then apologize on this one or retracted. 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:01.040 And this is how her reach traction. By the way, 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:02.880 the next night, take a listen. 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.800 This morning I issued a correction first thing in the 0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.480 morning on X for a mistake that I made in 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:10.720 last night's show, but I also wanted to do so 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.800 on air as well. I incorrectly said that the bombs 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.600 that were thrown by ISIS inspired suspects in New York 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:19.640 over the weekend were directed at Mayor Mom Donnie. They 0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:22.280 were not. I failed to catch and correct that mistake 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:25.240 in real time, and I take full responsibility for that. 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:28.000 And while we do make mistakes, it is important to 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:30.520 acknowledge and correct those errors when they happen. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.040 Senator, I appreciate when there's a correction, but there was 0:21:34.080 --> 0:21:36.879 a lot of people online that were actually frustrated with 0:21:36.920 --> 0:21:40.359 a correction because what Abby was doing was acting like 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.800 she didn't correct somebody that said something on her show 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:46.240 in real time. And there was a lot of people 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.720 going like, you're the one that said it, don't act 0:21:48.760 --> 0:21:51.120 like someone else said it. You're the one that has 0:21:51.200 --> 0:21:53.960 to correct your own. No information you put out there 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:56.480 that was incorrect. It wasn't a guest on your show 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:58.720 that you failed to correct what they said. 0:21:59.400 --> 0:22:02.679 Yeah, and Ben, I don't care about her, She's a 0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:07.600 leftist quack. What I do care about is the failure 0:22:07.840 --> 0:22:15.080 of supposedly journalistic outlets to actually do journalism. They are propagandists. 0:22:14.880 --> 0:22:18.000 The mistake she made was not random. It was just 0:22:18.080 --> 0:22:22.000 not ups I said Green, I meant red. It is 0:22:22.280 --> 0:22:26.480 consistently skewing in a way that number one, she's not 0:22:26.600 --> 0:22:30.040
