1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:01,480 Speaker 1: Welcome. 2 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with 3 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 2: you and Senator there has been a lot that has 4 00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: happened coming out of Israel, a lot with terrorists that 5 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 2: are dying, thank goodness video that has been leaked after 6 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 2: they killed the mastermind behind the October seventh attack. But 7 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 2: then we also found out some pretty shocking news. Let's 8 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: start with that. 9 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 3: Well, the Palestinian authority is pushing an effort at the 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 3: United Nations to expel Israel from the General Assembly. It 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 3: is in many ways unsurprising. But what sadly is also 12 00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 3: unsurprising is the Biden Harris administration is doing little to 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 3: nothing to fight it. And so I have called for 14 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 3: the Biden Harris administration actually stand up for Israel, and 15 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 3: I've made clear that if they don't, that if the 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 3: UN actually expels Israel from the General Assembly, that the 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 3: United States should halt all funding from America to the 18 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: United Nations, that we should use the stick we have 19 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 3: not to let the radical Semites at the UN punish 20 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: Israel for being the victims of October seventh and for 21 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: being victorious defeating the leadership of Hamas and Hesbala We're 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,199 Speaker 3: going to break that down in greater detail. We're also 23 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 3: going to talk about the FBI magically, quietly, stealthily editing 24 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 3: the crime statistics. You know, the FBI had put out 25 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 3: stats that said crime had dropped under Joe Biden and 26 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, and the Democrats in the corporate media were 27 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: gleefully repeating that the one minor detail is it was 28 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: a lie. It was false. Crime has risen dramatically and 29 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,119 Speaker 3: very quietly. The FBI was forced to edit those stats 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 3: to recognize the obvious truth. We're going to break that 31 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: down as well. 32 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, people, remember they fact checked Donald Trump on those issues, 33 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 2: and that didn't go over very well. Now that you 34 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: look at the new numbers, guess what they were right 35 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 2: and everybody else in the media was lying to you. 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: Let me tell you real quick about AMO squared. It 37 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: ensures that you have AMO there when you need it. 38 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: It's an automated approach to purchasing Ammo on any budget 39 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 2: at phenomenal prices. You get to pick your caliber, set 40 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: your budget, and select a shipping trigger and bam, that's it. 41 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: It's basically like a four oh one K for Ammo. Now, 42 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: if you dealt with AMO shortages like I did during COVID, 43 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: you probably have the same thought I did. I'm never 44 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 2: gonna have to deal with that again, and I'm not 45 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 2: going to pay five six, seven, eight x what a 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 2: box of AMO costs now later on because everybody's running 47 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: to buy it.

Now, unlike a traditional subscription service, 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: you aren't forced into a set budget or a monthly shipment. 52 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: You decide your budget, You can change it any time 53 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: and schedule when you want your AMO to arrive. AMO 54 00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 2: Squared has more than seventy different caliber options allow the 55 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: hard to find ones they have. And if you store 56 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: up a bunch of one caliber and then you switch 57 00:02:58,560 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: guns and you want to get rid of that, am 58 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: not a problem. You can switch it out for another one, 59 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: sell it back, and if prices have gone up, you 60 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,799 Speaker 2: can even make money. Now what happens if a big 61 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 2: shortage happens again, Well, all your AMMO you can use 62 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: like a four to one k sell it back bam. 63 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 2: You can make a big profit, no minimum to buy, 64 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 2: no membership needed, and no extra fees.

Before we get started on the un story, 71 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 3: I got to ask a very very important question. You 72 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: ever worked at McDonald's. 73 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I have never worked at McDonald's, 74 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 2: but I have started my own restaurant, which felt very 75 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 2: much like working at McDonald's. 76 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: Well, now, as a teenager, did you ever flip burgers? 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: Did you work at the restaurant? Where'd you work? Where'd 78 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 3: you work? 79 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: So? 80 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: I worked in a snack shop by the tennis courts, 81 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 2: and so I cooked. 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, probably. 83 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: Thousands of burghers and probably thousands of pounds of French 84 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 2: fries and chicken fingers in my day. 85 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 3: So Ben, how do we know you're not lying? Apparently 86 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,359 Speaker 3: one can be a leading candidate for president of the United 87 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: States just make up working at McDonald's and the media 88 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: has utterly no interest in whether you're lying or not. 89 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, there, well one, I have people that actually work 90 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 2: there with me, and usually when you work in a restaurant, 91 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: you're in a pretty tight group, especially if you're younger too. 92 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: There's pictures I'm sure. 93 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 2: Out there that someone's got of me actually cooking and yeah, 94 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 2: so it's not hard to prove it, that's for sure. 95 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: But of course Kamala Harris claims to have worked at McDonald's, 96 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 3: but there's no indication whatsoever that is that is the truth. 97 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 3: I got to say, I thought it was freaking hysterical 98 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: that Donald Trump went to McDonald the image of him 99 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 3: wearing a McDonald's apron, like at the drive through window. 100 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you went to get a big 101 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 3: Mac and you pull up and there is Donald Trump 102 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: at the window. I mean, seriously, how would you react 103 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 3: if you saw Trump just at the drive through window 104 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: with your big Mac? 105 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you would. You would lose it, Like 106 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 2: you would be like, are you kidding me? Is this 107 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 2: real life? Is this actually happening? And the best part, 108 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 2: I don't know. If you saw some of the memes, 109 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 2: they were hysterical. One of them today that really made 110 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 2: me laugh. It said, imagine it's a picture of him 111 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 2: at the drive through window with his apron on out 112 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,919 Speaker 2: the window waving. It says, imagine, if that's the last 113 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,919 Speaker 2: thing in illegal aliencies before they're. 114 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 3: Deported, that's pretty strong, I gotta say, though. It does 115 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 3: illustrate the complete moral bankruptcy of the media that it 116 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 3: takes Trump, you know, doing what was clearly a stunt, 117 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: and a pretty funny stunt. I mean, the media is 118 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 3: mocking him for it, which which I mean, look, they 119 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 3: could acknowledge it is pretty charming and pretty funny to do. 120 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 3: But it has a more serious point, which which is 121 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: that Kamala Harris has told multiple falsehoods over and over 122 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 3: and over again, and the corporate media covers up and 123 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 3: in fact repeats and amplifies the falsehoods. 124 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 2: It's also one of those moments and as I watched 125 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: this and I'm like, the media still didn't get it, 126 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: which really made me laugh. And that is Donald Trump 127 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: wasn't doing this for a publicity stunt. 128 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was doing it's quite a bit of publicity. 129 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: Have you have you noticed that? 130 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 2: Oh? 131 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: One hundred percent? But on my of thing, because they're like, oh, 132 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: it's a pilosity s. I'm like, no, it's not. You 133 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 1: don't even like it. I don't. I don't think you're 134 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: that stupid. I'm referring to the media. It's not a 135 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: blizzy stunt. 136 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 2: He's showing the hypocrisy of what it takes for a 137 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 2: conservative candidate to actually get the media to even report 138 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 2: on the actual issue, which is Kama Harris a lot 139 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: about working at McDonald's. 140 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 3: So in my experience, and I do this a lot 141 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 3: like what I'm doing at town hall, I will often 142 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: ask people how many of y'all ever worked in a restaurant? 143 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 3: And inevitably any town hall you're doing, half the people 144 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: their hands will go up, and particularly as teenagers, that 145 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,120 Speaker 3: you work at it at a Donald's or Jack in 146 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 3: the Box or Taco Bell, or you work as a 147 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: waiter a waitress at a restaurant. And then my experienced 148 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: teenagers either did that or they mowed lawns. So when 149 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 3: I was a teenager, I mowed lawns and I like 150 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 3: to being outside. So I figured, U, right, if I 151 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: got to make some money, you know, I can be 152 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: out out in the sun and you know, be in 153 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 3: shorts and a T shirts instead of going in and 154 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: flipping burgers. But you know, mow and lawns was a 155 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: good business when you were fourteen fifteen years old. 156 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,120 Speaker 2: So you're gonna laugh. I had a lawn business when 157 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: I was I think I was seven, six or seven. 158 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 2: And this is what we're missing in this country. My 159 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: parents said, if you want money, then you better learn 160 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 2: how to make it. And my lawn business was called 161 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: you grow it, We mow it very nice, and I 162 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 2: had a monopoly on that neighborhood in like ninety days. 163 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: Well, and look to be fair, Kamala Harris said the 164 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 3: same thing. She has a manure business where she spreads 165 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 3: large quantities of manure. All right, let's get to our story. 166 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: I like it. 167 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: Any more of the story is I'm just proud of 168 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 2: on Trump patrolling the media on this. 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: It's awesome. 170 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 3: That image maybe the funniest thing I've seen and months 171 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 3: just the I really do wish, you know, I have 172 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 3: to be It wasn't the same thing, but I h 173 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 3: a couple of years ago I was down at our 174 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 3: southern border. I was at a checkpoint, but it wasn't 175 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 3: like an illegal crossing checkpoint. It was eighteen wheelers that 176 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: are coming across and they come through it. So it's 177 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: a heavy commercial traffic checkpoint. And I just went like 178 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,920 Speaker 3: in the booth with the Border patrol agent, and I 179 00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: got to say that the looks as truck drivers pull 180 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: in and they're expecting, okay, I'm gonna get checked now, 181 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 3: and then they look over and see me, and they're 182 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 3: double takes. They're absolute double takes. And I actually conducted 183 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: an informal poll, so just about everyone raised a finger 184 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 3: to me. I will say I was very happy at 185 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 3: the finger ratio because I would say it was about 186 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: twenty percent the middle finger and about eighty percent of 187 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: thumbs up. So I liked eighty twenty among the truck 188 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 3: drivers coming in. It was a pretty pretty good ratio. 189 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 3: But it was like it was a real time poll 190 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: and just about everyone, look, I'm obviously I'm not Trump, 191 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 3: but you still got like weird double takes, like what 192 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 3: in the hell is Cruse doing here? And I'm sure 193 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: I really wish I haven't seen if they got pictures 194 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 3: of like people in the cars, but but I am 195 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: sure they were absolutely sure. 196 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 2: The videos that came through, just because this is too 197 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 2: good to pass out. It was incredible to watch the 198 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 2: reactions and the people that were so happy and proud 199 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 2: to say I support you and like and a lot 200 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: of them were people that you could tell it was 201 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: very sincere moments for them and they were so happy 202 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 2: to see him. And I said on my National show 203 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 2: Sunday night, I was like, this is why we need 204 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 2: to stop being afraid to just be honest that we're 205 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 2: in favor of conservatives and our candidates, because I do 206 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 2: believe we are the silent majority at this point. Just 207 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: do like I have gotten the point now where I'm 208 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 2: either wearing a hat with your name on it or 209 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 2: a hat with Trump's name on it because of election. 210 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 2: But I thought I was going to get a lot 211 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 2: more people that were angry. I can't tell you the 212 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 2: number of people that walk up to me now when 213 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: I wear the hats and they're like. 214 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: Dude, I love your hat. Dude, I love your hat. 215 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: Do I love your hat? Dude? I love your hat. 216 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 3: Man. 217 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: I got to get one of those hats. I need 218 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: to wear that hat too. 219 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: And I think if we all just like picked a 220 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 2: random Tuesday and said wear your favorite political hat, we 221 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: would be shocked how many conservatives are among us each 222 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 2: and every day but we're so afraid now because they've 223 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 2: been towing us forever. You can't do that. You got 224 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: to be quiet, sit down, shut up, be quiet. You're 225 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 2: big at your racist the name calling. I think we 226 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 2: are the silent majority and we need to become a 227 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 2: loud majority. 228 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: Well let me Actually, I'm going to prove that you're right, 229 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 3: because the basic dynamic nationally with elections is conservatives win 230 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: when we effectively articulate what we believe, and liberals win 231 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 3: when they effectively obvious gate when they effectively hide what 232 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 3: they believe. Take a look at Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris 233 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,200 Speaker 3: is not running a campaign saying I'm for open borders. 234 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: I'm proud of letting in eleven and a half million 235 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. I'm proud of voting to defund the police. 236 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 3: I'm proud of raising bail money to bail out violent 237 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 3: rioters who rioted in Minneapolis. I'm proud of massive taxes. 238 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 3: I'm proud of attacking oil and gas and driving up 239 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 3: the cost of gasoline. I'm proud of undermining Israel and 240 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 3: sending one hundred billion dollars to I ran. Like that's 241 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 3: her actual record, and yet she denies all of it. 242 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 3: You look at her ad, She's literally running ads with 243 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 3: aerial footage of Trump's border wall. She's pretending her record 244 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: is Trump and by the way, what's Trump doing? Try 245 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 3: to tell everyone his record in her record and that 246 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: dynamic is true. The reason for that, I believe is 247 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 3: this is fundamentally a center right country, and Kamal and 248 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,280 Speaker 3: her team knows her policies are wildly unpopular. If they 249 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: thought the country agreed with this garbage, they wouldn't lie 250 00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 3: about it, if they'd admit it and be proud of it. 251 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right, which brings us to this next story, 252 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 2: and it's one where there's a lot of silence right now. 253 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: I mean a significant amount of silence that deals with 254 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 2: the UN. Catch everybody up to date on this one, 255 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,839 Speaker 2: because it's really important. 256 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 257 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 3: So, the Palestinian Authority is working to expel Israel from 258 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 3: the United Nations General Assembly, And so I've drafted a 259 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 3: letter that I've sham right now in the process of 260 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 3: getting other senators to signed that I'm going to send 261 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 3: both to the UN Ambassador Lynda Thomas Greenfield and the 262 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 3: Secretary of State Tony Blinkett. I'm going to send it 263 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 3: in this next week, And the letter lays out the 264 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 3: consequences of such an action. In other words, what happens 265 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 3: if the UN actually expels Israel, and if they do that, 266 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: what I lay out is is effect Here I'll quote 267 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: from the letter quote the effort to diplomatically isolate Israel 268 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: is aimed at ultimately destroying the Jewish state, which is 269 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 3: both obscene and antithetical to American national secure the interest. 270 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: If Israel is suspended from the UN General Assembly, we 271 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: will move to limit American participation in funding across the UN, 272 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 3: including UN programs, funds, and other entities and bodies, as 273 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: well as its specialized agencies and related organizations, both those 274 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 3: in which the PLO participates and generally and look. I 275 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 3: also point out that if the Palestinian Authorities Authority is 276 00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 3: successful in this, it would violate the Oslo Accords, an 277 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 3: agreement that the PA signed onto, and so the letter 278 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: notes quote Those agreements committed the Palestinians not to internationalize 279 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 3: their conflict with Israel outside the contours of bilateral negotiations, 280 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 3: which the United States has traditionally mediated. The proposal by 281 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 3: President Obas to suspend Israel from the UN General Assembly 282 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: would straightforwardly violate and fundamentally abrogate those commitments, in turn 283 00:13:55,679 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 3: requiring a comprehensive reevaluation of the US Palestine relationship. We 284 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 3: would pursue such a reevaluation, which would minimally include downgrading 285 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 3: cooperation with the PA, ending assistance to the West Bank 286 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 3: and Gaza, terminating all Palestinian related offices across the US government, 287 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: including the Palestinian Facing Consulate and the Office of Palestinian Affairs, 288 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: and broadly curtailing diplomatic, economic, and security engagements between American 289 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 3: and Palestinian officials. And it goes on to make clear 290 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 3: that we will reimpose anti terrorism sanctions on the Palestinian 291 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: Liberation Organization in the Palestinian Authority that are currently quote 292 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 3: vitiated by licenses and waivers and are primarily limited to 293 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 3: American's ability to assist those groups should should the PLO 294 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 3: move to suspend Israel from the UN General Assembly, we 295 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 3: will seek to ensure that those licenses and waivers are ended, 296 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 3: and to expand American anti terrorisms to include third parties. 297 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 2: So you look at this, and I think there's gonna 298 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: be some shocked by people that are listening there's gonna 299 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 2: be some anger, and there's gonna be some Why the 300 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: hell are we still involved with the UN? Why do 301 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 2: they have so much power? Why do we even entertain 302 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: them when this is what's going on at the United Nations. 303 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: I think all of those points are pretty fair feelings 304 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: to have. 305 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 306 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: You're not? And look, one of the main reasons to 307 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: stay in the UN. Listen as I campaign across Texas 308 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 3: and across the country, I frequently get questions about why 309 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 3: don't we just pull out of the UN? And I 310 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,640 Speaker 3: understand the UN is fundamentally corrupt. It is filled with 311 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 3: anti Semites, it is filled with viciously anti American organizations, UNRA, 312 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:46,400 Speaker 3: it was infiltrated by Hamas and actively assisting Hamas andre 313 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 3: As the Palestinian Aid organization within the United Nations. But 314 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: the answer that I frequently give it is important. I 315 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 3: believe for us to stay in the UN, among other things, 316 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 3: to defend Israel, that that Israel without America would be persecuted. 317 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 3: There was so much anti Semitism, so much hatred of Israel, 318 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 3: that without the US and the UN, it would be 319 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 3: completely unchecked. Now, if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just 320 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: roll over and do nothing to stop it. Then that 321 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: I got to say, the justification for remaining in the 322 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 3: UN very rapidly disappears. 323 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 1: Part of us being in the UN. 324 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 2: And this goes back to a debate that we had, gosh, 325 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 2: I want to say it was in sixteen and seventeen, 326 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 2: is why are we such big funders of the UN, 327 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 2: especially with the unrecorruption and the other corruption that you 328 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 2: just mentioned. O. Look, I'm fine being in the UN 329 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Speaker 2: and having a voice and kind of being able to 330 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 2: just watch what the other countries are doing, But why 331 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 2: are we giving so much of our taxpayer dollars to them? 332 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: Like other countries aren't doing it, So why do we 333 00:16:58,360 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: do it? 334 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 3: Look, there's no debt that we're taking advantage of, and 335 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: the UN agreements are based on the size of the economies, 336 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 3: and because we have the largest economy in the world, 337 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,399 Speaker 3: they charge us the most money. But we happily go 338 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 3: along with that. And I could imagine that being justified 339 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: if we were using our leverage to significantly advance American 340 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: interest and to protect our allies. If we're not, and 341 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: here's the problem. Let's go back to the end of 342 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: the Barack Obama administration. At the very end of the 343 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 3: Barack Obama administration, after Trump won in sixteen, the Obama 344 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 3: administration pushed a resolution called UN Resolution two three three 345 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 3: four that was adopted on December twenty third, twenty sixteen. 346 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 3: Resolution two three three four was viciously anti Israel and 347 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 3: viciously anti Semitic. It condemned the modern state of Israel 348 00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 3: as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the West Bank 349 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 3: as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the Jewish Quarter 350 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 3: of Jerusalem as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the 351 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 3: Wailing Wall of Solomon's Temple as illegitimate and illegally occupied. 352 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:24,959 Speaker 3: And it was wildly anti Israel. And what happened. Number one, 353 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 3: the Obama administration waited till after the election. They didn't 354 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 3: want people to know they were doing this to Israel. 355 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,959 Speaker 3: And then number two, what they did is quietly orchestrated 356 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 3: behind the scenes and then simply not veto it. Because 357 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 3: the United States is on the Security Council, the United 358 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 3: States could have vetoed it, but Obama did not. And 359 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 3: the consequence of that was that the UN at the 360 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:55,200 Speaker 3: behest of the apparatics in the Obama Biden administration attacked Israel, 361 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 3: and that's what's going on here as well, and it's 362 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: why I'm circulating a letter to the Biden Harris administration 363 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: to make Claire. Look, I think we're going to win 364 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 3: a Republican majority in the Senate and we're going to 365 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 3: stand up. They're going to be very real consequences to 366 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 3: the UN if they do this. I want to point 367 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 3: out also, the strategy that I'm laying out is actually 368 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 3: exactly what Ronald Reagan did. So the last time the 369 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,720 Speaker 3: PLO tried to expel Israel from the United Nations General Assembly, 370 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 3: Reagan declared, quote, if Israel is ever forced to leave 371 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: the United Nations, the United States and Israel will leave together. 372 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 3: That is absolutely right. Reagan was right. I believe if 373 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,959 Speaker 3: it happens under Trump, I believe Trump would pull us 374 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 3: out of the UN. And I think if the UN 375 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 3: understands those are the real consequences, they won't throw Israel out. 376 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: But I think Kamala Harris is quietly pushing this behind 377 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,000 Speaker 3: the scenes, because this White House has been the most 378 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: anti Israel White House we have ever seen. 379 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it in Reagan policies you mentioned 380 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 2: is a brilliant and simple one. Go ahead, kick them out. 381 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 2: Watch how fast America leaves. That's how you're supposed to 382 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 2: stand up for an ally. It's what a simple idea, 383 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 2: right like an I wish this White House. 384 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: Would understand that at some point. 385 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 3: Well you got to understand. You got to understand why 386 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 3: they don't do that. They agree with the Palestinian authority. 387 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 3: They agree with the enemies of Israel. Look on October seventh, 388 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 3: when the attack was happening, the Biden State Department that night, 389 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 3: at three in the morning tweeted out from the Office 390 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 3: of Palestinian Affairs, there must be no military response. Israel 391 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 3: should not retaliate for twelve hundred citizens being murdered, twelve 392 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 3: hundred civilians being murdered, for women and little girls being raped, 393 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 3: for over two hundred hostages being taken. It was ridiculous. 394 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 3: And you'll recall my team and I we spotted that 395 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 3: at three in the morning. I tweeted immediately after it, 396 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 3: I said, this disgraceful. Whoever wrote this should be fired, 397 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 3: and within minutes they deleted it. By the way, it 398 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 3: wasn't just an aberration it wasn't just some lone anti 399 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 3: Semite in the administration, because the next day Tony Blink 400 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 3: and the Secretary of State on October eighth, a year ago, 401 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 3: tweeted essentially the same thing. He said he'd just spoken 402 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 3: with a Turkish foreign minister and they both agreed, Israel 403 00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 3: must not retaliate. There should be no military response to 404 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 3: the most, the broadest, and the worst mass murder of 405 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 3: Jews since the Holocaust. And let's be clear, we just 406 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 3: took out Sinwar, the head that we actually Israel took 407 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 3: out Sinhwar, the head of Hamas. They did so despite 408 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris threatening Israel, urging them not to go into Rafa. 409 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 3: At every stage, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris tried to 410 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,359 Speaker 3: stop Israel from defeating Hamas, and Israel, to its credit 411 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 3: and actually enhancing our national security, has done so anyway, 412 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,440 Speaker 3: despite the fervid opposition of this White House. 413 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 2: Four elections upon us in the war on masculinity in 414 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,640 Speaker 2: America today is more blatant than ever. And I want 415 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: you to know that now is the time to choose 416 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: strength and vitality over. 417 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 1: Weakness and complacency. 418 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 2: The problem is actually pretty simple, men's TESTOSTERM levels are 419 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: off a cliff historically, at an all time low. And 420 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 2: isn't that exactly what the liberal elite won a week 421 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 2: in docile underclass, especially of conservatives.

It came up during the debates, 446 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,440 Speaker 2: and of course they fact checked those on our team 447 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 2: that were saying, no, no, no, you're wrong. Things aren't 448 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: that's safe right now, And immediately they went into fact 449 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 2: checking by no, no, actually, things are better off than 450 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,359 Speaker 2: they've been in years. 451 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,400 Speaker 1: Well, guess what we knew We were right. 452 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 2: And now the FBI has quietly released the numbers that 453 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 2: prove it, not release them. Let me rephrase that they've 454 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 2: had to revise their lies they put out earlier. 455 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I got to say, what the Democrats have 456 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 3: been saying and what the media has been saying is 457 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 3: actual and literal fake dues. So the talking points of 458 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: all the Democrats, the talking points of all of the 459 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 3: corporate media was crime has gone down under Joe Biden, 460 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. Now anyone looking at the rapes and murders 461 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:44,439 Speaker 3: and the children being abused like that defied common sense, 462 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 3: But they pointed to the FBI stats as their proof. 463 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 3: Let me read from an article in Real, Real Clear 464 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 3: Investigations by John Lott, who's an economist, and it's entitled 465 00:24:55,520 --> 00:25:00,840 Speaker 3: Stealth Edit. FBI quietly revises violent crime stats. When the 466 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 3: FBI originally released the final crime data for twenty twenty 467 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: two in September of twenty twenty three, it reported that 468 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,479 Speaker 3: the nation's violent crime rate fell by two point one percent. 469 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 3: This quickly became and remains, a Democratic Party talking point 470 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 3: to counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime. But the 471 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 3: FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that 472 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 3: shows violent crime increased in twenty twenty two by four 473 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 3: point five percent. So they said it fell by two 474 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 3: point one percent, that was a lie. In fact, it 475 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 3: increased by four point five percent. That's US six point 476 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 3: six percent delta difference. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies, 477 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 3: and aggravated assaults. The Bureau which has been at the 478 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 3: center of partisan storms, made no mention of these revisions 479 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 3: in its September twenty twenty four press release. Real Clear 480 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 3: Investigations discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the 481 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 3: FBI website that states twenty two violent crime rate has 482 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 3: been updated for inclusion in Cius twenty twenty three, but 483 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,320 Speaker 3: there's no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees 484 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 3: the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and 485 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 3: comparing it to the file released last year. After the 486 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 3: FBI released its new crime data in September, a US 487 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 3: eight Today headline read quote, violent crime dropped for third 488 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: straight year in twenty twenty three, including murder and rape. 489 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 3: It's been over three weeks since the FBI released the 490 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: revised data. The bureau's lack of acknowledgment or explanation about 491 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 3: the significant change concerns researchers. And here's let me give 492 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 3: you a sense of just how dramatically they revised it. 493 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 3: The updated data for the twenty twenty two report now 494 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 3: shows there were additional There were eighty thy and twenty 495 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: nine more violent crimes in twenty twenty two than in 496 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. There were an additional one thousand, six 497 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 3: hundred ninety nine murders, there were an additional seven hundred 498 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 3: eighty rapes, there were an additional thirty three, four hundred 499 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:09,119 Speaker 3: and eighty nine robberies, and there were an additional thirty 500 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 3: seven and ninety one aggravated assaults. And the FBI isn't 501 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 3: explaining why it magically had a political outcome that happened 502 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: to fit the Democrat talking points. And by the way, 503 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: Kamla Harris isn't explaining it either. 504 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 2: Yet, not at all. And this goes back to the 505 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 2: cover up. I don't think this was an accident. This 506 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,239 Speaker 2: was deliberate by them because they knew they needed this 507 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 2: to be a campaign issue that hey, things aren't that bad, right, inflations, 508 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 2: actually not that bad. 509 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Immigration. 510 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 2: We saw them do this deal with Mexico to make 511 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 2: the numbers artificially go down in August, in September going 512 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: into the election, going see, we're securing the border. It's 513 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: no different with the violent crime stats here. This is 514 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 2: why so many Americans now don't trust the government, certainly 515 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 2: the deep state, certainly unfortunately the FBI, And yet no 516 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 2: one's going to get fired for screwing up their job. 517 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 2: This bad because it wasn't a screw up, it was 518 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 2: done deliberately. 519 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 3: Well, you may be wrong that no one's going to 520 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: get fired, because. 521 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 2: Well that would be amazing in a first in my lifetime. 522 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,879 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if we have a good election. I 523 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 3: think if Donald Trump gets elected, we will see a 524 00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 3: new attorney general. I think we will see a new 525 00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 3: head of the FBI. 526 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: Oh for sure. 527 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 3: And I am praying the people involved in this will 528 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 3: be fired if we win a majority in the Senate. 529 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,640 Speaker 3: I think we're likely to win, and the Republicans are 530 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 3: likely to win a majority in the Senate. As you know, 531 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 3: I'm on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I'm going to press 532 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 3: the Judiciary Committee to launch an investigation into the FBI 533 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,880 Speaker 3: as to who specifically put out the false data, and 534 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 3: I think we should push to get every email, exchange, 535 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 3: every conversation. I think it is likely that this was partisan, 536 00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 3: but we need to get to the bottom of it. 537 00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,040 Speaker 3: And the fact that the FBI is not even providing 538 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 3: any explanation when they're caught red handed really does damage. 539 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 3: And by the way, look, I'll tell you something again. 540 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:15,080 Speaker 3: As I travel around campaigning regularly, people ask me, should 541 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:17,760 Speaker 3: we abolish the FBI. And I got to tell you 542 00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 3: that actually that question concerns me because the FBI does 543 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 3: a lot of things that are incredibly important. The FBI 544 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: is designed to battle terrorism, to catch terrorists before they 545 00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 3: commit another nine to eleven that the FBI catches serial killers, 546 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 3: The FBI catches child predators, the FBI helps with kidnap children. 547 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: I mean, there is a very very important law enforcement 548 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 3: mission of the FBI. And I'll tell you, with first 549 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,760 Speaker 3: James K. Comy and now Chris Ray running the FBI, 550 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 3: I think the integrity and the reputation of the FBI 551 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: has been so profoundly tarnished that half the country wants 552 00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: to get rid of the damn thing altogether. That is 553 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 3: really bad ad from a law enforcement perspective, from a 554 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 3: perspective and stopping terrorists and stopping criminals. And I'll tell 555 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 3: you I have chewed out Chris Ray that when he 556 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 3: circles the wagons and defends the hardcore partisans who have 557 00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 3: politicized the FBI, he is he is lighting on fire 558 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 3: the FBI's credibility and its reputation. And I think if 559 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 3: Trump wins, there needs to be a wholesale cleaning House, 560 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:33,040 Speaker 3: getting rid of the wildly partisan career bureaucrats who burrowed 561 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 3: into senior leadership positions at the FBI. 562 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,280 Speaker 2: All right, let's dive into this even on a more 563 00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 2: intense level, because this is one of those moments where 564 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of voters that are listening 565 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 2: right now. They're saying, Okay, my worry is we've heard 566 00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,280 Speaker 2: this before, that there's going to be a real draining 567 00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 2: of the swamp. How different do you think a Trump 568 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 2: administration will be this time compared to twenty sixteen when 569 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 2: there was a lot of people that were on a list. 570 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,080 Speaker 2: And you've done transitions, I've done it before. When when 571 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,520 Speaker 2: people win, and what you go through is you say, okay, well, 572 00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 2: there's a certain group of people over here. These are 573 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,240 Speaker 2: non political, we don't mess with them, right, they stay 574 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,720 Speaker 2: throughout administrations, and then here's your support, here's your political ones, 575 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 2: and you can deal with them how you want. But 576 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 2: there's these certain areas we don't touch it. I think 577 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:30,080 Speaker 2: Donald Trump learned there's a lot of these quote non 578 00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 2: political positions that have become highly political. 579 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: Yes, and this is a great example of that. 580 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 2: So do you believe that there is is the political 581 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 2: will to actually clean house the way that many voters 582 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 2: are expecting. And I'd say that I think there's a 583 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,560 Speaker 2: lot of voters that are expecting it. They're like, Okay, 584 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 2: if we're going to put you back in there or 585 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 2: Republicans aka Trump, then you guys better do what you 586 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 2: said you're going to do this time in clean house, 587 00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: because that's what we're voting for. 588 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,400 Speaker 3: Well, as you know, this is the topic of the 589 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 3: third book that I wrote, which is called Justice Corrupted, 590 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 3: How the Left has weaponized the legal system. And in 591 00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 3: the book Justice Corrupted, I lay out how Barack Obama 592 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,760 Speaker 3: weaponized the Department of Justice and the FBI and the 593 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 3: IRS and the alphabet soup of federal agencies to target 594 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 3: and attack his political enemies. And then when Trump became president, 595 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: by that point, many of these hard partisans had burrowed 596 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 3: into senior career positions in the agency, and they spent 597 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 3: the four years of the Trump presidency waging war on 598 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 3: Donald Trump. They hated him, they tried to destroy the president. 599 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 3: They tried to frustrate and oppose every aspect of his agenda. 600 00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,440 Speaker 3: And now under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they're brazen 601 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,840 Speaker 3: and out in the open. They are nakedly politicized that 602 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 3: they repeatedly are employed to target and persecute the political 603 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: opponents of the White House, and it is disastrous. I 604 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 3: think it is one of the most important things in 605 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 3: a Trump administration to depoliticize the Department of Justice in 606 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 3: the FBI. I've said a lot lot of times, I 607 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 3: don't want a Republican DJ. I don't want a Democrat DJ. 608 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 3: I want a DJ that follows the law and that 609 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 3: prosecutes people when they break the law, regardless of their party. 610 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 3: I want an FBI that does the same thing. And look, 611 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,080 Speaker 3: will it be better the second time around? 612 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely? 613 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:20,400 Speaker 3: I don't think Trump, and I know his senior team 614 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 3: in the White House, they didn't realize what it is 615 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 3: they were fighting. They didn't realize how the swamp operated, 616 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 3: and they left in place a lot of people who 617 00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 3: actively waged war against the Trump administration. Look classic example 618 00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 3: of that is James Comy. I believe that the Trump 619 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: White House should have fired James Comy on January twentieth, 620 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 3: twenty seventeen. No one would have blinked. First day Trump 621 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 3: comes in office. Mister Komy, thank you for your services. 622 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 3: He was the old head of the FBI. You're gone. 623 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 3: They didn't. They thought, oh, we can co opt this 624 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,200 Speaker 3: guy and get him to work with us. Well, it 625 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,920 Speaker 3: was a disaster and the whole Russia Russia, Russia nonsense. 626 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,719 Speaker 3: James Comy was behind a lot of that. And so 627 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,360 Speaker 3: this time around, I think there certainly they realize the 628 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 3: threat now. Fighting it's not easy. I'm not going to, 629 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,000 Speaker 3: you know, just just blow smoke at you and say 630 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 3: it's all going to be rosy if Trump wins again. 631 00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:18,200 Speaker 3: Fighting the swamp and the career bureaucrats is incredibly difficult. 632 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,000 Speaker 3: But I do think you will see a much much 633 00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 3: greater seriousness of purpose from the Trump White House this 634 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,280 Speaker 3: time around. I think they realize much more the magnitude 635 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 3: of the threat they're dealing. 636 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,960 Speaker 2: With the world's in flames and Bidenomics is a complete 637 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,879 Speaker 2: and total disaster.

But there is a 669 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,280 Speaker 2: headline that just popped and it says big tech censoring 670 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,759 Speaker 2: ahead of the elections. I was not surprised by this. 671 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: I think it's a no brainer. But we're seeing now 672 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,320 Speaker 2: that this is a real problem yet again. 673 00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: Weeks before election. 674 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 3: Day, Yeah, the Washington Post had an investigation that said 675 00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:31,240 Speaker 3: that Instagram, which is part of Meta, buries political posts 676 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 3: and it slashes the audience by sixty three percent when 677 00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 3: the word vote is posted. And one influencer faced, as 678 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: I said, a sixty three percent drop. And this is 679 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 3: an investigation done by Washington Post tech columnist Jeffrey Fowler 680 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,720 Speaker 3: that showed that Meta cross its platforms including Instagram, Facebook 681 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:59,399 Speaker 3: and Threads, actively suppressed content related to the upcoming twenty 682 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:03,600 Speaker 3: twenty four alam election. And it affects partisan political posts, 683 00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 3: but it also just nonpartisan content like vote that they 684 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 3: are suppressing it. And Fowler found that whenever an Instagram 685 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,600 Speaker 3: account creator named missus Frazzld, whose real name is Aerial Fodor, 686 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 3: whenever phot mentioned anything related to politics over the last 687 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,600 Speaker 3: six months, her audience size decreased by about forty percent 688 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 3: compared to her non political posts, and when she used 689 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,279 Speaker 3: the word vote in a captured across eleven posts, the 690 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:37,760 Speaker 3: average audience was sixty three percent smaller, and her experience 691 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:41,840 Speaker 3: is not isolated. Fowler this is a Washington Post investigative 692 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,680 Speaker 3: reporter found several other Instagram creators who noticed a similar pattern, 693 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 3: and it's not unique to individual accounts. There was a 694 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:53,440 Speaker 3: wider study by an advocacy group called Accountable Tech that 695 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 3: quantified the audience drops for five prominent leftist Instagram accounts, 696 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,560 Speaker 3: including the Human Rights Campaign and Feminist and over ten 697 00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 3: weeks this spring, their average audiences fell by sixty five percent. 698 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,479 Speaker 3: The study found that conservative accounts experienced a similar drop 699 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 3: in engagement when discussing political topics and metas suppression of 700 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:21,040 Speaker 3: political content happened when Zuckerberg in twenty twenty one decided 701 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 3: to pull back on political content and just try to 702 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:30,239 Speaker 3: avoid politics. Now, look, I'd rather they avoid politics than 703 00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,880 Speaker 3: actively be biased, which is how they were in the 704 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 3: twenty twenty election, But silencing the ability of citizens to 705 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,000 Speaker 3: talk about politics is a really bad dynamic. And you 706 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 3: contrast that to X, which I think X with Elon 707 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 3: Musk's having purchased it is the new town Square. But 708 00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:55,040 Speaker 3: Facebook and Instagram have huge reaches and silencing politics is 709 00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 3: really harmful for democracy. 710 00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:58,440 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. We're going to have more on this 711 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 1: coming up on Wednesday. Don't forget.
