Yes, Ted Cruz's father linked to the Jaska assassination. 57 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: They're admitting they made it all up.

I'm 63 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 3: just saying that they haven't proven a nation negative. Although 64 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 3: they did admit they doctored the photograph and like like 65 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: basically mashed two photos to create literally the very embodiment 66 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: of fake news. And I got to say, my favorite 67 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 3: response on this whole issue was something Marco Rubio said 68 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: at a set at Launch shortly after this idiotic story broke, 69 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,760 Speaker 3: where Marco stood up and he said, look, I need 70 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: all of you all to know that I know for 71 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 3: a fact this story about. 72 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: Ted's dad is a lie. 73 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 3: And and Marco's explanation he said it has to be 74 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: a lie because if a Cuban had done that, he 75 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 3: would have told everybody. Yeah, and so I saw. I 76 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 3: appreciated Marco coming to my dad's defense. 77 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: I love this. 78 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 2: I hope you framed this for your father because it's 79 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: hysterical and you should put it side by side and 80 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: give it to him for Father's Day because it's just amazing. 81 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: It is official, this inquire made up the story about 82 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: your father. 83 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. 84 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: I got to say, does that mean that Elvis is 85 00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 3: not working at a Walmart in Idaho? 86 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: There is a chance. 87 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 2: There is a chance, but they haven't confirmed that yet, 88 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,920 Speaker 2: so let's not jump to conclusions here. 89 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Okay, we'll get fact check on that one, but congrat 90 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: the Aliens are real. 91 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 3: The Space aliens are real. 92 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Yes see, I'm no longer afraid of your dad. Like 93 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,159 Speaker 1: we hang out. I've always been a little nervous. 94 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 3: Now I know it's just really just just watch your 95 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 3: p's and q's. 96 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 1: I love it all. 97 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: Right, Let's get into this vote in Washington and explain 98 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 2: for everyone listening. 99 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719 Speaker 1: This came out of the House. It was a big fight. 100 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: There is a very divided, i think conservative mindset on this. 101 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 2: I have a lot of friends that are very upset 102 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: about this. I have others that say it's important that 103 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: we fund Israel and other things. This then came to 104 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: the Senate. Walk us through the mindset of of not 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 2: only you, but also other Republicans that are saying this 106 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: is something that need to get done and that's why 107 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 2: we passed it. 108 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 3: Well, listen, this is a bill number one. The House 109 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: struggled mightily to vote out. It was a huge battle. 110 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: There were lots of pieces there that they agonized on 111 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: and ultimately voted it out before the Senate. Listen, I 112 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: struggled with this vote. I struggled with this vote as 113 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 3: much as any vote I've ever cast in the Senate. 114 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 3: And the reason is there are elements in this bill 115 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: that I very strongly support, and there are elements in 116 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 3: this bill that I really dislike. And sometimes you have 117 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 3: legislation that combines good and bad and you've got a way, Okay, 118 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: does the bad outweigh the good? And in this case, 119 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 3: I found a very difficult decision. I spent hours and 120 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 3: hours thinking through the pros and cons and what the 121 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 3: right principled approach was. Let me tell you what's good 122 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 3: about this bill. The biggest thing that is good and 123 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: important about this bill is it finally provides emergency military 124 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 3: aid to Israel. Israel is in the middle of a war. 125 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 3: It has been an a war since October sixth, the 126 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 3: horrific terrorist attack that occurred. It has been battling Hamon 127 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,640 Speaker 3: and Gaza, battling Hamas while the Biden administration has been 128 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: undercutting it over and over and over again and pressing 129 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 3: the government of Israel to stop killing Hamas terrorists. It's 130 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 3: also been the subject of a massive attack from Iran, 131 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 3: over three hundred drones and missiles, cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. 132 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 3: Iran has been waging war against Israel, and so I 133 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: think it's critically critically important that we provide military aid 134 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,919 Speaker 3: to Israel now and that's going to happen now. So 135 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 3: I'm very glad of that that aid is finally going 136 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 3: to go. Let me be clear, though, this military aid 137 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 3: to Israel should have gone six months ago. It should 138 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 3: have gone right after October seventh, It should have gone 139 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 3: when this war started. And you'll recall back in November, 140 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 3: I and several other Senators forced a vote on the 141 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 3: Senate floor we took over the Senate from Chuck Schumer. 142 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 3: We used a rare procedural technique called a rogue cloture 143 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 3: petition should to force a vote on a standalone Israel 144 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 3: emergency military aid bill, and every single Democrat, all of them, 145 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: voted no. And the only reason this military funding didn't 146 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: go six months ago is because the Democrats obstructed it 147 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 3: each and every day since then. And so I'm glad 148 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: finally that military aid is going to Israel. But it 149 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 3: should have gone last month, it should have gone the 150 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: month before, it should have gone all the way back 151 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: six months ago, and it's the Democrat's fault it didn't. 152 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 2: So let's talk about some of the other things that 153 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 2: were in this bill as well, and explain what all 154 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: is in this big, big kind of conglomerate here. 155 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 3: Well, let me tell you what else is good in 156 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: the bill. So number one, the military aid to Israel. 157 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 3: Number two, this bill includes the Houses bill to force 158 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 3: the Chinese Communist Party to give up control of TikTok 159 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 3: in the United States. That's something also that I strongly support. 160 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 3: I think it is very important for national security. The 161 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 3: Chinese Communist Party uses TikTok. It has the capacity for 162 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 3: number one espionage and surveillance of every American and I 163 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 3: think that is very dangerous. Number Two, the Chinese Communist 164 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 3: Party uses this to push propaganda, particularly to our young people. 165 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: And and so this bill forces the CCP to divest 166 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 3: from TikTok. That's another very good thing in this bill. Thirdly, 167 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 3: this bill also includes eight billion dollars in funding for 168 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 3: Taiwan to defend itself against aggression from China. And and 169 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 3: and listen, I have long long made clear that that 170 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 3: that that that China I believe represents the most significant 171 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 3: long term geopolitical threat to the United States, and Taiwan 172 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 3: is on the front lines of China's global global aggression. 173 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 3: And so I think it is critically important that that 174 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: that we continue standing with the people of Taiwan. So 175 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 3: those are three really good things of the bill. 176 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,079 Speaker 2: Let's go back to TikTok for a second and explain 177 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: that when will this kick in the metrics of it, 178 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: how this will work. And I want to go back 179 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 2: to and compare this also on a story we've done before. 180 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: TikTok has had like forty to one stories supporting the 181 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 2: Palestinian slash Hamas over Israel. Clearly that has had a 182 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 2: major impact on younger people are who are actually against Israel. 183 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: And we've seen this on the college campuses, and this 184 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 2: is being used is a mind war machine to clearly 185 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 2: influence and change public opinion on people like Jewish people, 186 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 2: the Israeli government, and even to make people sympathetic towards terrorists. 187 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: That's what China's been doing. And this is just in 188 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 2: real time when it comes to Israel. Yeah, no, that's 189 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: exactly right that TikTok. The CCP uses TikTok to push 190 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 2: pro Hamas propag and to undermine Israel, to push anti 191 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: American propaganda, including things like like trending Osama bin Laden 192 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 2: speaking out on jihad and against against America, and so 193 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 2: removing the ability of the Chinese Communist party to have 194 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 2: control over that that that's really important. How long will 195 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 2: this take then for the divistion and and for truly 196 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 2: to be a separation where Chinese isn't dictating what happens 197 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: on the platform? Is this going to be immediate before 198 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 2: the election or in reality, is it's going to be 199 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 2: after the election? 200 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 3: Well, one of the prices that the Democrats insisted upon 201 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 3: to pass this was that that it be delayed till 202 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 3: after the election, So it will be after theazing. Yeah, 203 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 3: you know that that that's how the Democrats approached it. 204 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, because they wanted to make sure that they had 205 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: the advantage using TikTok all the way up and through 206 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: the election. 207 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 3: Those are are the Democrats we have. 208 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,320 Speaker 1: So you look at this bill and you talk also about. 209 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,559 Speaker 2: Taiwanese and the allies and then be able to defend themselves. 210 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: There was some criticism that this wasn't enough money for 211 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,079 Speaker 2: them to actually defend themselves against China. Can you can 212 00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: you explain why this amount of money was chosen and 213 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 2: why you think this is adequate this moment. 214 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 3: Look, eight billion dollars is a significant amount of military aid, 215 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 3: and it's designed to help help Taiwan be more resilient, 216 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 3: you know, in in military defense theory, the idea obviously, 217 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 3: the Taiwanese army is not sufficient to defeat the Chinese army. 218 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 3: China is a much more massive country with a much 219 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 3: larger military. But the idea is to make Taiwan, the 220 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 3: phrase that is often used as a porcupine, make Taiwan 221 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 3: difficult to invade, to deter China from doing so. And 222 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: so that's really what the military aid is focused on doing, 223 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 3: is helping Taiwan be more resistant to an amphibious military 224 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 3: assault so that China doesn't doesn't engage in war. And 225 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 3: listen that that is often the smartest way to approach 226 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,960 Speaker 3: national security is to engage in deterrence so you don't 227 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 3: have to engage in war. And that that that's exactly 228 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 3: what this is trying to do with China and Taiwan. 229 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 2: Let's talk about how what was in the bill that 230 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 2: was frustrating for you, that upsets you, that that is irritating. 231 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 2: The reality is I'd love that if we could just 232 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 2: get only what we want. There are compromises that have 233 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: to be made. There's Democrats who are the majority in 234 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 2: the Senate, and we have a very slim majority. Now 235 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 2: in the House Republicans, you have a president who's a Democrat. 236 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 2: So so what in here is frustrating that you that 237 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: you say, hey, yeah, I'm not okay with this, but 238 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 2: this is the reality of how this went down. 239 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 3: Well, there were several other other elements in the bill 240 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: that that in total, were too problematic for me to 241 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 3: support the full package. First of all, the bill spends 242 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 3: over nine billion dollars on so called humanitarian aid, much 243 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 3: of which goes to Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas. 244 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: And we have seen under Joe Biden this pattern over 245 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: and over again of their sending millions and millions of 246 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 3: dollars to Gaza, only for it to be diverted by Hamas, 247 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,199 Speaker 3: only for it to be used for terrorism. And and 248 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 3: this this bill follows that pattern. It does not it 249 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 3: doesn't learn from the failures of the Biden administration, and 250 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: it keeps sending money that will be used ultimately against 251 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: America and against our allies. 252 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: When you see this happen and the way it came 253 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 2: out of the Senate, for conservatives that are listening that 254 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 2: are just frustrated because they feel like we're sending too 255 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 2: much money overseas, We're not securing our southern border, and 256 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 2: we're putting other countries ahead of our interests. What is 257 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 2: your message to them, because that's an important one right now. 258 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 3: Well, look, there are aspects when it comes to military aid, 259 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: particularly for Israel and Taiwan. We are doing that because 260 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: that is in America's interest, that that that the enemies 261 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 3: of Israel are the enemies of America, and with Israel 262 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 3: advances America's national security interests. And by the way, we 263 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: get enormous military benefits from our alliance with Israel, including 264 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,960 Speaker 3: benefits from the Masad intelligence benefits that the people they 265 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 3: are fighting. Listen, Iran, there is a reason the Iotolin 266 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 3: Iran chance death to America and death to Israel. The 267 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: Iotola also refers to Israel as the little Satan and 268 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: America as the Great Satan. And so helping Israel prevail 269 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 3: benefits American national security. It keeps us safer. The same 270 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,640 Speaker 3: is true with Taiwan, that deterring China. Listen, if China, 271 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: God forbid, were to invade Taiwan, that would be an 272 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 3: enormous problem for US national security interest for a lot 273 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 3: of reasons. But let me just focus on one, which 274 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 3: is advanced semiconductors. Right now, we manufacture very few, A 275 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 3: very small percentage of advanced semiconductors are manufactured in the 276 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 3: United States. The over whelming majorities manufactured overseas, primarily in 277 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 3: China and Taiwan. And if China were to invade Taiwan, 278 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 3: it would give the Chinese Communist Party the ability to 279 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 3: have the American economy and the American military in a stranglehold. 280 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 3: You look at virtually everything we use in today's modern life, 281 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 3: it involves semiconductors and advanced semiconductors. 282 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: That's true for your phone. 283 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 3: That's true for your car or truck, that that that's 284 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 3: true for just about every appliance you have in your home. 285 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 3: That that's true for just about every serious piece of 286 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 3: military equipment we have, whether it's every tank or every 287 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 3: fighter jet, or every ship or or every computer. We 288 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 3: are massively dependent on advanced semiconductors. It's one of the 289 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 3: reasons I have been so vigorous in fighting to bring 290 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 3: semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States, back to Texas. 291 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: It's one of the reasons why I co authored legislation 292 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 3: to streamline the ronmental permitting for building new semiconductor fabs, 293 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 3: including massive ones that are going into Texas. My legislation, 294 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 3: which I authored with Mark Kelly, Democrat from Arizona, the 295 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: Kelly Cruise Bill, passed the Senate one hundred to nothing. 296 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 3: We're working to get it through the House. But in 297 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 3: the interim, until this passes into law, until we build 298 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: up semiconductor manufacturing capacity in the United States, America is 299 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 3: incredibly vulnerable and so deterring Chinese aggression in Taiwan is 300 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 3: all about protecting America's national security interests. 301 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, great point. 302 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about freedom gold Usay, 303 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 2: if you are like me and you want to make 304 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 2: sure that you're protecting your hard earned dollars, especially if 305 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 2: you're in retirement or close to retirement, you know how 306 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 2: important it is to diversify your assets. With inflation still 307 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 2: well above the Fed's target rate and consumer prices are 308 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 2: so much higher than they were just two or three 309 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 2: or four years ago. Now, that's why you need a 310 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: financial plan that ensures that the money you save today 311 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 2: will be enough for you tomorrow. Now, imagine thinking that 312 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,399 Speaker 2: you were on track four years ago and looking at 313 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,159 Speaker 2: the cost of living now. And that's where gold and 314 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 2: silver come in. Gold and silver have historically been amazing 315 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 2: hedges against inflation in a phenomenal way to protect your 316 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 2: hard earned retirement funds. How to be clear, no one's 317 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 2: saying put all your money in gold or silver. No, 318 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 2: you need to find a trusted partner and you need 319 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 2: to find someone that can give you all the facts 320 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 2: about gold and silver and diversification. You also need to 321 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 2: make sure you're working with a reputable firm. Yes, there 322 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: are many companies out there that charge enormous fees. In fact, 323 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: on average, Freedom Gold USA charges twenty five to thirty 324 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: percent less than most major gold and silver firms. Another 325 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 2: way to look at that is when you want to 326 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: have twenty five to thirty percent more gold and silver 327 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: in your account than what you would do with the 328 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: same amount of cash somewhere else. That's why I recommend 329 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 2: Freedom Gold USA. So take control your financial future and 330 00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: know you're working with a firm that is looking out 331 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 2: for your long term financial stability. 332 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:06,040 Speaker 1: Go to Freedom. 333 00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 2: Gooldusa dot com slash verdict.

You've heard of one eight hundred sixty five 340 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: five eight eight four three or online it freedom goold 341 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,280 Speaker 2: usa dot com, slash vertict center. I know there was 342 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 2: a couple other problems in this bill that you also 343 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 2: wanted to highlight. 344 00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:43,400 Speaker 1: What are those? 345 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 3: Well, they're big problems. Number two. Uh, this bill has 346 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 3: three point four billion dollars for quote, migration and refugee 347 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 3: assistance and and and that's the pocket of money the 348 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,920 Speaker 3: Biden administration has used to pour cash into the NGOs 349 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 3: that are assisting with illegal immigration at our southern border. 350 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 3: And so this gives them billions more to keep funneling 351 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 3: into these organizations that that that that are trafficking people 352 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: illegally into this country and helping traffickers bring people illegally 353 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,639 Speaker 3: into the country. I can't support that. 354 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: Now. 355 00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 2: That's something that is obviously very frustrating. And this is 356 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 2: what I think so many conservatives have been hearing about, 357 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 2: and they're frustrated because why is it that this always happens? 358 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 3: Well, and listen that that that leads to the third 359 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 3: and the single biggest problem with this bill is it 360 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 3: does nothing, zero, nada to secure our southern border. It 361 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,919 Speaker 3: doesn't It doesn't address the crisis, and it is an 362 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,359 Speaker 3: existential crisis. We are seeing a full on invasion. And 363 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 3: and just a few months ago Republicans all stood united 364 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: and said we are going to use this Ukraine bill 365 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 3: as leverage to force the Demo Crats to do something 366 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 3: on our southern border. And all of us initially stood 367 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: united on that. Listen, I still believe that. I still 368 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 3: believe and the Democrats they care passionately about this Ukraine 369 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 3: Aid bill. Listen, we saw in the House of Representatives. 370 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 3: We saw House Democrats ridiculously waving Ukrainian flags on the 371 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 3: floor of the House. It was a pitiful spectacle. And 372 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 3: as an aside, can you imagine those Democrats ever ever 373 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 3: showing the same joy waving an American flag. It's hard 374 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 3: to imagine. But no, they were happy to jump up 375 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 3: and down and wave Ukrainian flags on the House floor. 376 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,199 Speaker 3: It's clear they care passionately about that. And so I 377 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 3: believe we should have stuck to our guns and said, Okay, 378 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: if you want additional money for Ukraine, let's take serious 379 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,119 Speaker 3: steps to secure the border. Not the bogus Chuck Schumer 380 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 3: bill that would have made the problem worse and would 381 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 3: have put catch and release into law, and what a 382 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: normalize two million ellgoimmigrants a year, but serious legislation to 383 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 3: secure the border. Once again, in front of the Senate, 384 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 3: I introduced HR two as an amendment to the bill. 385 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 3: And to be clear, if they had attached HR two 386 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: strong border security to this bill, I would have voted yes. 387 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,399 Speaker 3: But they didn't, and and ultimately the House was not 388 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 3: able to move it out with border security included. And 389 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 3: for me, as a Senator representing the great State of Texas, 390 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 3: I can't sit by while our state and our country 391 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 3: is invaded and allow this moment to go by. I 392 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: can't support this bill without border security. I can't allocate 393 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: funds to secure Ukraine's border before we secure our own border. 394 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 3: And that is the number one reason that I had 395 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 3: to vote no. It is the crisis we have at 396 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: home is too grave to allow this bill to move 397 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 3: at least with my support, without fixing the problem here 398 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: at home. 399 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: You mentioned the open border. 400 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 2: House Committee on Homeland Security found that illegal aliens are 401 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: costing US an estimated four hundred fifty one billion dollars 402 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 2: per year, the majority of that going to healthcare for 403 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants. 404 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: As crime as skyrocketing. 405 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 2: Now our hospitals are being filled with illegals who can't pay, 406 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 2: and that is what they found. And yet we're sending money, 407 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 2: like you said, to secure another country's border. 408 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: Well, and it's the Democrats have gone all in. They 409 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 3: have decided that they are the open border party, that 410 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 3: they are willing to give up anything, including apparently that 411 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 3: we're willing to give up Ukraine aid in order to 412 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,160 Speaker 3: keep the open borders. I think we should have held 413 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 3: the line and use this to force real border security, 414 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,119 Speaker 3: not not the fake, fake kind that Chuck Schumer was 415 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: trying to get attached to this. 416 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 2: I want to move also to another major issue center, 417 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 2: and that is we've been covering anti semitism on college 418 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 2: campuses and exposing what's been happening. But now we're getting 419 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: to see the White House, specifically the President of the 420 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 2: United States of America is just pathetic and that word 421 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: doesn't seem strong enough, but a pathetic response to anti 422 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,200 Speaker 2: semitism on college campuses. I want to play this for 423 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: you from a reporter to the president of the United 424 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 2: States of America and get your reaction to it. 425 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: Listen to this and. 426 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 5: The anti submitted protests on college campuses. 427 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 4: I condemn that another protests. 428 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: That's why I've set up a full gam to do 429 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 1: with that. 430 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 4: I also condemn those who don't understand what's going on 431 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 4: with the Palestinians and how they dreaming. 432 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 5: And then Columbia University president resigned. I didn't know that. 433 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: I'll not have to find out more time. 434 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: I love that they asked should she resign because I 435 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 2: didn't know that. I'll have to find out more about that. 436 00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,640 Speaker 2: But he condemns people that are anti Semitic, and then says, 437 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 2: I also condemned those that don't know about the Palestinians, Like, 438 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:07,680 Speaker 2: what in the hell is the president doing here? 439 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: Sir? 440 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: Well, look, he said he didn't know that, and I 441 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 3: actually believe that's some of the most honest words that 442 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: he said. I think he has no idea what's going on. 443 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 3: He's not aware of what's going on, and in particular, 444 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 3: he's professing ignorance as to what's happening at Columbia, what's 445 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 3: happening at Yale, And it is utterly disgraceful. But you 446 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 3: know who's not ignorant. I mean, I agree he's oblivious, 447 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 3: But who's not ignorant? Or the other Democrats who are 448 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 3: supporting this And I want you to listen to So 449 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 3: there was an event, a Climate Core event where AOC 450 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 3: was speaking right next to Joe Biden, and he was 451 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 3: right there, and AOC had something to say on this 452 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 3: that I want everyone, everyone to listen and hear. Here's 453 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 3: AOC addressing Columbia Yale. 454 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 5: It is especially important that we remember the power of 455 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 5: young people shaping this country to day of all days, 456 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,200 Speaker 5: as we once again witness the leadership of those peaceful 457 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 5: student led protests on campus. It's like Columbia, Yale, Berkeley and. 458 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,879 Speaker 2: Many others really, because a group of Yale student center 459 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 2: formed a human chain to block a Jewish student from 460 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 2: entering the university yesterday. And if you know history, this 461 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:28,000 Speaker 2: was a chilling act of anti Semitism that echoed nineteen 462 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 2: thirty nine when Nazis blocked Jewish students are entering Vienna 463 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: University simply because they were Jews. 464 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 3: Now that's absolutely right. And you also had a Jewish 465 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 3: student at Yale who was poked in the eye with 466 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 3: a flag and had to seek medical treatment because of that. 467 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 3: And to say when you have threats of murder and 468 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 3: violence and death, when you have it as you had 469 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 3: it at Columbia, a student saying that Hamas should murder 470 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,399 Speaker 3: the Jews wish students on that campus. That is not peaceful. 471 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 3: Threats of violence and calling from the murder of your 472 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 3: former students is not remotely peaceful. But understand, AOC, this 473 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 3: is a sitting member of Congress. She's singling out Columbia Yale. 474 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 3: She's praising what's happening at Columbia Yale. Understand she supports 475 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 3: this vicious anti semitism. And there is Joe Biden happily 476 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 3: sitting there. In fact, he said at the same event 477 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: that he's learned that when AOC listened and it speaks, 478 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 3: you got to listen to her. Well, you know that 479 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 3: that is Unfortunately, today's Democrat Party, which is the White House, 480 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 3: is utterly tepid, unwilling to condemn specifically what is happening 481 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 3: at Columbia and Yale, and the radicals in their party 482 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 3: explicitly endorse it and celebrate it. 483 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,399 Speaker 2: You mentioned the radicals of the Democratic Party. You and 484 00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,200 Speaker 2: I have said this for a long time. When they 485 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: tell you what they've leave in, believe them. I'll give 486 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,719 Speaker 2: you example of this. A group of Columbia University professors 487 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 2: actually held a rally Monday. These are the professors who 488 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 2: are indoctrinating the kids to hate Jews and hate Israel. 489 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 2: They held a rally to express solidarity solidarity with the 490 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: anti Semitic students that had been suspended for holding unauthorized 491 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: protests on campus. And not only that, but when you 492 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: go back and look at what these leaders these universities believe, 493 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 2: whether it's Clutting Gay, who we've exposed on the show 494 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: multiple times, but at an event just two months after 495 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 2: nine to eleven, Colombia University's current president remarked, and this 496 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 2: was two months after nine to eleven, that terrorism is 497 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: a quote form of protesting. 498 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 1: When they tell you who they are, believe them. Listen 499 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:56,160 Speaker 1: to this. 500 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 4: So it's not you'll always have individuals who will have 501 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 4: extreme views. But what's really troubling in the region is 502 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 4: that there's actually quite a broad base of society which 503 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 4: has some sympathy for the terrorists. Not so much because 504 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 4: they approve of their methods, but it's a form of 505 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,360 Speaker 4: protesting against a system which is not delivering for them 506 00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 4: on the economic or the political front. 507 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 2: I mean, that's no wonder that this university is totally 508 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: just lost to its mind and we're watching this anti semitism. 509 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 2: If that's what you're saying in public two months after 510 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,719 Speaker 2: nine to eleven, then imagine how many children you've been 511 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 2: able to indoctrinate college students to believe that the Jews 512 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: are Israel and that you should feel sympathy for Hamas 513 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,879 Speaker 2: has Isis al Kaeda. 514 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. 515 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 3: Well, and when she says there's a broad base of 516 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 3: society that has sympathy for these terrorists, she's revealing a 517 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 3: lot about the world in which she lives, about Ivy 518 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: League universities, about our elite universities, about our academic system, 519 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 3: about the left. Everyone she associates with falls into that 520 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 3: crowd when they look at the terrorists and understand, we're 521 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 3: not talking about terrorists and the abstract. We're talking about 522 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 3: Hamas and what they did on October seventh, murdering twelve 523 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 3: hundred Israelis, murdering some thirty Americans, raping women and little girls, 524 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 3: committing atrocities that the world has not seen since the Nazis, 525 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: and in today's leftist academy, using the President of Columbia's 526 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 3: own word, they have some sympathy for that. No, there 527 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 3: is no sympathy. Terrorism is not a form of protest. 528 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 3: Terrorism is a horrific form of violence that targets civilians, 529 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 3: that targets women and children, that commits murder and act 530 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 3: of cruelty. And that's exactly what Hamas did, and it's 531 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 3: what It's the reason these college campuses are allowing these 532 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 3: anti Semitic protests to go on, these threats against Jewish 533 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 3: students to go on. It's the reason Jewish students are 534 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 3: being advised by the Orthodo Rabbi at Columbia to stay 535 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 3: home because Columbia will not protect your physical safety. And 536 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 3: the reason is the President of Columbia, the administrators of Columbia. 537 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 3: They explicitly side with the radicals and with the terrorists. 538 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: And it is shameful and it's sick. 539 00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: Finally, on this, we're going to do a deep dive 540 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 2: about the dark money that is clearly backing and orchestrating 541 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 2: these not only events, but the shutting down of roads 542 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 2: and bridges and supporting what's happening on these college campuses 543 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 2: being anti Semitic. But there is one caveat, and this 544 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: should be talked about it. And like I said, we're 545 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 2: going to give you a lot more on this in 546 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,719 Speaker 2: another episode. But we've now found out that the NFL, 547 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 2: the National Football League, funded a left wing group bailing 548 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: out anti Israel bridge blockers. And this is again how 549 00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 2: the left just holds these companies and these organization hostage, 550 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:02,880 Speaker 2: like you better give us some money. 551 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: We need somebody to bail out some people, and they 552 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: just do it well. 553 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 3: And look, we we talked about in the wake of 554 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: October seventh, how how black lives matter, how the Chicago 555 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,920 Speaker 3: chapter put out a tweet praising Hama, saying we stand 556 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:19,480 Speaker 3: with Palestine and and and having a a picture of 557 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 3: a paraglider. Remember it was a paragliders that came in 558 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 3: that the Hamas terrorists used to murder young people in Israel, 559 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 3: and and and the cultural Marxist they support each other, 560 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: and and and and we're seeing that. Look on Columbia, 561 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 3: it's not just the students that are facing threats of violence, 562 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: it's the faculty too. So a Columbia professor, Shi David 563 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 3: I wanted to go, and we talked about this on 564 00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 3: on on Monday's pod, that he intended to go and 565 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 3: and be right among these protesters and stand up for Israel. 566 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: And what Columbia did. They revoked his past to campus. 567 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,719 Speaker 3: They they zeroed out his access and blocked him. This 568 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 3: is the the administration of Columbia. They decided between a 569 00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:08,000 Speaker 3: professor on their faculty who happened to be Jewish or 570 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: the anti Semitic protesters who are threatening violence, that the 571 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 3: problem was the professor who dared to be Jewish. 572 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: You know. 573 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,480 Speaker 3: One of the things that this professor, Davidai, tweeted out. 574 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 3: He said, quote to all the journalists, I promise I 575 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,960 Speaker 3: will try to get back to each and every one 576 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,800 Speaker 3: of you. In the meantime, I want you to consider this. 577 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,640 Speaker 3: To the best of my knowledge, the last time that 578 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: a professor was denied access to their own university for 579 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,200 Speaker 3: being Jewish was Nazi Germany. Well, actually that's not accurate, 580 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 3: because we covered on this podcast how USC did that 581 00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:48,040 Speaker 3: to a USC professor where they ordered him to stay 582 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 3: at home and teach from home for precisely the same reason, 583 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 3: because anti Israel protesters were threatening violence, and they decided 584 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 3: not to protect him but instead to stand with the protesters. 585 00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're going to talk more about this dark money. 586 00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 2: I can promise you that, don't forget.
