Speaker 1: Welcome.
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center Ted Cruz, the Weekend Review,
Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are the top stories
Speaker 2: that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
Speaker 2: First up, the media normalizing terrorist threats coming across our
Speaker 2: southern border. Why is it that they're trying to act
Speaker 2: like this isn't a national security threat?
Speaker 1: We're going to deal with that.
Speaker 2: Also, Conservatives are continuing to be silenced on social media.
Speaker 2: That's a big part of the plan by Democrats to
Speaker 2: stop Republicans in the presidential election.
Speaker 1: We'll expose it all.
Speaker 2: And finally, Biden's re election campaign is doubling down on
Speaker 2: amnesty now for all illegal immigrants. It's the Weekend Review
Speaker 2: and it starts right now. There's two things that worry me,
Speaker 2: and I want your take on this. Number One, it's
Speaker 2: almost like the media is worried the same way you are,
Speaker 2: that there's a real chance of a major terrorist attack.
Speaker 2: We've seen warnings from Director Ray at the FBI and
Speaker 2: others are saying they're or even about attacks that would
Speaker 2: mimic what we saw against the people in Israel. But
Speaker 2: it's also like they're trying to normalize the idea Yeah,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of terrorists in America, and if something
Speaker 2: does happen, it's like, yeah, we knew this, we covered it,
Speaker 2: we talked about it.
Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't be as outraged.
Speaker 3: Well, if you want to be out raised, listen to
Speaker 3: what Chris Ray, the administrator of the FBI, is saying
Speaker 3: about the risk we have of a terror attack right
Speaker 3: now in the United States.
Speaker 4: From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array
Speaker 4: of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. There
Speaker 4: is a particular network that has where some of the
Speaker 4: overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have isis ties that
Speaker 4: we're very concerned about. And then we've been spending an
Speaker 4: enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating.
Speaker 2: Race said a keyword there coming across the border. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like he's telling you how they're doing it. So if
Speaker 2: he knows this, and that means I'm sure he's given
Speaker 2: the same brief just gave America to the President of
Speaker 2: United States America. Why would you not then close the
Speaker 2: border if this is what you know is coming across
Speaker 2: the border. And my second question is after nine to eleven,
Speaker 2: I remember, like we learned very quickly how they the
Speaker 2: terarists are able to use certain loopholes and things to
Speaker 2: get into America, and we squeezed down those instantly. I'm
Speaker 2: worried that even if they if there is a tarist tech,
Speaker 2: they're still going to keep.
Speaker 1: The border open.
Speaker 3: Look, Joe Biden doesn't care, Kamala Harris doesn't care, Chuck
Speaker 3: Schumer doesn't care, Nancy Pelosi doesn't care. I've been fighting
Speaker 3: for years to secure the border, and every Democrat is
Speaker 3: on record over and over and over again. I forced
Speaker 3: a vote on HR two, which would actually end catch
Speaker 3: and release, secure the border, stop these terrorifts from coming in.
Speaker 3: And every Democrat in the Senate, all of them, there
Speaker 3: are no moderates on this issue, all of them party
Speaker 3: line vote, open borders, open borders, open borders. Every Democrat
Speaker 3: in the Senate voted to throw out the impeachment of
Speaker 3: Alejandro Mayorcis. Hear no evidence, they don't want to hear
Speaker 3: the evidence. That they're like an ostrich plunging their head
Speaker 3: in the sand. Do not tell them about the terrorist
Speaker 3: coming into this country because they don't care about who
Speaker 3: came in yesterday, and they don't care about who's going
Speaker 3: to come in tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the numbers, because that's the other part
Speaker 2: of this warning. It's not one or two, or ten
Speaker 2: or fifteen or twenty that are on the terrist watch
Speaker 2: list that we know have come across the southern border.
Speaker 2: It's an alarming number in the hundreds.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Look, when Trump was president, the number of people that
Speaker 3: were apprehended on the terror watch list coming into the
Speaker 3: country was every year in the low single digits. Was
Speaker 3: one or two, was a very small number. In fiscal
Speaker 3: year twenty twenty three, one hundred and sixty nine people
Speaker 3: on the terror watch list were apprehended at our southern border,
Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine. This fiscal year, we're only
Speaker 3: halfway through. We already have nearly one hundred who've been
Speaker 3: apprehended at the southern border. Again, are on the Terra
Speaker 3: shape the terror watch list. And by the way, that's
Speaker 3: the southern border, the northern border. The stats six hundred
Speaker 3: and thirty terrorst suspects were encountered at the northern border
Speaker 3: in the last two fiscal years.
Speaker 2: The New York Post breaking that aspect of the story.
Speaker 2: So it's not just as you mentioned, the southern border.
Speaker 2: It's the northern border, which is another problem, which is
Speaker 2: by all accounts as even more I guess say open
Speaker 2: easier to come across many believe much larger.
Speaker 3: And if you are a terrorist, if you are heating
Speaker 3: Iran's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
Speaker 3: Hamasa's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
Speaker 3: Hesbala's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
Speaker 3: Palestinian Islamic Jahad call for global Jahad against America, if
Speaker 3: you're heating Isis's call for global Jahad against America. It's
Speaker 3: not complicated. You come across the border in a place
Speaker 3: where there's not a lot of border security, where you
Speaker 3: can be one of the nearly two million gotaways US.
Speaker 3: The people who've encountered the numbers are even more concerning
Speaker 3: of the god Aways and the Democrats at the end
Speaker 3: of the day, they are willfully complicit in an open
Speaker 3: door policy to terrorists who want to harm America.
Speaker 2: You've been there when Ray's been testifying, and you know Ray,
Speaker 2: the FBI director, did Democrats ask any tough questions of him, like, hey,
Speaker 2: we know how many are on the watch lists that
Speaker 2: we've gotten right that we're on the watch list. But
Speaker 2: they even care about the Godaways, or if I don't
Speaker 2: ask and it doesn't exist, and then I don't have
Speaker 2: to be held politically accountable for it.
Speaker 3: Democrats will not ask a single question about illegal immigration.
Speaker 3: They will not ask a single question about god Aways.
Speaker 3: They will not ask a single question about the children
Speaker 3: being brutalized by human traffickers. They will not ask a
Speaker 3: single question about the women being sexually assaulted by human traffickers.
Speaker 3: Their approach is just hide from the issue. They don't
Speaker 3: have a defense. Ask totally. You know what they'll ask
Speaker 3: about white supremacists. That they'll get all worked up about
Speaker 3: white supremacists. Mind you, they're not concerned at all about
Speaker 3: the anti Semites on college campuses. Well, maybe it's because
Speaker 3: the people funding the anti semites are also funding those
Speaker 3: same Democrats campaigns.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the political fallout of this. If Heaven forbid,
Speaker 2: there's an attack is part of the Democrats defense. They
Speaker 2: think that the American people are too stupid to connect
Speaker 2: these dots. I mean, you see the report from NBC News.
Speaker 2: You see Chris Farray out there warning you you have
Speaker 2: a present that knows about it. Do they just assume
Speaker 2: that they that the media is going to carry water
Speaker 2: for them that there is attack, there will be no
Speaker 2: accountability for the people that allowed for the open border
Speaker 2: policy which allowed them to come into this country. I
Speaker 2: would be terrified if I was a Democrat running for
Speaker 2: reelection knowing this is a real possibility. In the FBI
Speaker 2: director's warning you, you would think you'd want to say
Speaker 2: something on the record that says, hey, we got to
Speaker 2: get this under control.
Speaker 3: Bett Ben, I honestly don't know, because they don't defend themselves.
Speaker 3: They don't present an argument, they don't present any alternative. Listen,
Speaker 3: they count on the corporate media to cover for them,
Speaker 3: to hide what they're doing, and I think many of
Speaker 3: them are naive. For them, it is all politics, so
Speaker 3: it's not about savior security. Eleven million illegal immigrants and
Speaker 3: they say these are future Democrat voters, and what we
Speaker 3: care about is staying in power, and if people have
Speaker 3: to die, so be it. Because they know people are
Speaker 3: dying every single day. People are dying because of this
Speaker 3: open border and the Democrats will do nothing to change it.
Speaker 3: It's who they are. I don't know how many listeners
Speaker 3: of verdict are PhD students and economics. But there's a
Speaker 3: theory called modern monetary theory, and it's a bunch of
Speaker 3: gobblygook that is designed to basically justify big spending liberals
Speaker 3: just printing money like there's no tomorrow, and it's all
Speaker 3: sorts of fancy verbiage to explain it doesn't matter how
Speaker 3: much money you can print, you can just spend into oblivion.
Speaker 3: Everything will be fine. We can afford free everything for everybody. Well,
Speaker 3: I want you to listen, and I'm going to present
Speaker 3: this without further commentary. I want you to listen to
Speaker 3: Jared Bernstein, who is the chairman of the Council of
Speaker 3: Economic Advisors in the Biden White House, so he is
Speaker 3: the top economist for Joe Biden, explaining what modern monetary
Speaker 3: theory is. And I want you just to understand this
Speaker 3: is the genius behind Bidenomics.
Speaker 1: Take a look.
Speaker 5: The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print
Speaker 5: our own money.
Speaker 6: It obviously banks. The question why exactly are we borrowing
Speaker 6: in occurrency that we print ourselves. I'm waiting for someone
Speaker 6: to stand up and say, why do we borrow our
Speaker 6: own currency in the first place.
Speaker 7: Like you said they print the dollar, so why why
Speaker 7: does the government even borrow?
Speaker 5: Well, the uh so, the I mean again, some of
Speaker 5: this stuff gets some of the language that some of
Speaker 5: the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the
Speaker 5: government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money.
Speaker 5: Which is why the government definitely prints money, and then
Speaker 5: it lends that money by selling bonds. Is that what
Speaker 5: they do?
Speaker 2: They they.
Speaker 5: They yeah, they they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right,
Speaker 5: since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and
Speaker 5: lend them the money. Yeah. So a lot of times,
Speaker 5: a lot of times, at least to my year with MMT,
Speaker 5: the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing,
Speaker 5: but there is no question that the government prince money
Speaker 5: and then it uses that money to uh uh so, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I guess I'm just I don't I can't really talk.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 5: I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about, like,
Speaker 5: because it's like, the government clearly prints money, it does
Speaker 5: it all the time, and it clearly borrows otherwise we
Speaker 5: wouldn't be having this debt and depfist conversation. So I
Speaker 5: don't think there's anything confusing.
Speaker 2: There wherever you went to college, I really think they
Speaker 2: should take back their diploma. And this is the guy
Speaker 2: who's the top economic guy at the White House.
Speaker 3: Well, let me just say every economic policy of Joe
Speaker 3: Biden has flowed directly from the genius and wisdom you
Speaker 3: just heard displayed.
Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two center.
Speaker 2: Big tech is obviously at a massive influence over public
Speaker 2: opinion in this country. We saw a recent report that
Speaker 2: came out just on TikTok, for example, where they were
Speaker 2: forty five to one stories that were pro Palastinian pro
Speaker 2: Hamas over Israel. That's one example of how they've really
Speaker 2: been able to shape public opinion, especially with young people
Speaker 2: and the riots and the chaos we're witnessing on college
Speaker 2: campuses right now. But there's also something else that's happened
Speaker 2: with big tech. I've been a victim of it. I
Speaker 2: spoke out again against big tech a few years ago
Speaker 2: at a SEAPAC convention, and before I landed home, after
Speaker 2: I spoke out about big tech, specifically Facebook, my accounts
Speaker 2: were shut down. They have never worked the same way
Speaker 2: as they did before.
Speaker 1: The reach has disappeared.
Speaker 2: I've witnessed it, and many other conservative leaders out there
Speaker 2: are going through the same things. And it always seems
Speaker 2: to happen center right during a big election cycle, where
Speaker 2: the Democrats get a free flow of information out and
Speaker 2: conservatives get hammered and silenced.
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. So I started last year as
Speaker 3: the ranking member on the Senate Committee of Commerce, Science,
Speaker 3: and Transportation, and from that position is the ranking member,
Speaker 3: which means the senior Republican on that committee. I launched
Speaker 3: an investigation into the abuse of power from big tech,
Speaker 3: and this past week we put out a major report.
Speaker 3: The report is entitled Weaponizing Terms of Service. How online
Speaker 3: service providers use broad policies to silence conservatives. Now, there
Speaker 3: are a lot of instances that we know about that
Speaker 3: get a lot of publicity. We know, for example, that Twitter,
Speaker 3: before Elon Musk purchased them, suspended the account of the
Speaker 3: Babylon be for making a joke about a Biden administration official.
Speaker 3: We know that both Facebook and Twitter suppressed stories about
Speaker 3: Hudter Biden's laptop before the twenty twenty election. We know
Speaker 3: that Facebook removed posts suggesting that COVID nineteen originated in
Speaker 3: a Wuhan lab, something we talked about at length on
Speaker 3: this podcast, and a theory that has now been confirmed
Speaker 3: both by the Federal Department of Energy and the Federal
Speaker 3: Bureau of Investigation. We know that YouTube took down a
Speaker 3: March twenty twenty one video of a panel discussion with
Speaker 3: Florida Governor Ron de Santis, during which he disputed claims
Speaker 3: that children needed to wear face masks. We know that YouTube, also,
Speaker 3: which is owned by Google, blocked access to a November
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three episode of this podcast Verdict, because we
Speaker 3: were criticizing the corporate media's favorable coverage of AMAS, and
Speaker 3: YouTube deemed okay, you must be an adult to see
Speaker 3: what is on the network news. We also know in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, DirecTV dropped one America news network, and
Speaker 3: less than a year after Democrat leaders in Congress sent
Speaker 3: a letter to the CEO calling on them to stop
Speaker 3: carrying the network. We also know they did the same
Speaker 3: thing to Newsmax. Now I lit Direct TV up and
Speaker 3: they ended up bringing Newsmax back. We also know that
Speaker 3: into it at the direction of its banking partners refuse
Speaker 3: to provide payment processing and payroll services to gun manufacturers
Speaker 3: and sellers. And we know that JP Morgan Chase closed
Speaker 3: the account of the National Committee of Religious Freedom, which
Speaker 3: was created by former State Department Ambassador at Large for
Speaker 3: International Religious Freedom and former US Senator Sam Brownback. We
Speaker 3: know that gofund me block the release of ten million
Speaker 3: dollars of donations to the Canadian Trucker's Freedom Convoy. We've
Speaker 3: seen that happen over and over and over again. Well,
Speaker 3: what this report does is it lays out an entirely
Speaker 3: new area of discrimination and it is using web based
Speaker 3: products and services online service providers to ban conservative organizations
Speaker 3: from using their technology, and it's going after the infrastructure
Speaker 3: that is needed to communicate. And in fact, this investigation
Speaker 3: reveals that online service providers are following a playbook for
Speaker 3: silencing conservatives. That leftist organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center,
Speaker 3: which is wildly left wing and hates conservatives, and the
Speaker 3: Anti Defamation League the ADL, they together put together this strategy,
Speaker 3: this playbook to quote remove infrastructure services that conservative organizations
Speaker 3: need to operate. And so I'm going to describe that
Speaker 3: playbook and what they're doing in particular.
Speaker 2: When you look at their playbook and this amount of influence,
Speaker 2: I mean, this can change and alter certainly an election cycle.
Speaker 2: It can certainly, I would argue, change a presidential election
Speaker 2: as well. And that's the reason why they're doing this.
Speaker 2: When you think about you know, you've got millions of
Speaker 2: people that follow you Facebook.
Speaker 1: I've got over a million.
Speaker 2: But if you turn off and throttle either one of us,
Speaker 2: then the reach that we have compared to the left,
Speaker 2: it just disappears. It's the old saying, right if a
Speaker 2: big tree falls in the forest and no one's around
Speaker 2: and it make a sound, And that's exactly what they did.
Speaker 2: But it wasn't just to one or two people. They
Speaker 2: were doing this to hundreds of top conservative voices that
Speaker 2: people look to for their opinions, specifically when it comes
Speaker 2: to election your issues.
Speaker 3: So that's exactly right. And what this report focuses on
Speaker 3: is it uses a couple of key examples. It uses
Speaker 3: number one slacks removal of libs of TikTok's workspace. It
Speaker 3: focuses on event rights removal of event pages for events
Speaker 3: related to Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman documentary? As
Speaker 3: well as an event where Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak,
Speaker 3: and it focuses on Bontera's termination of its relationship with
Speaker 3: Independent Women's Forum, which deprived that organization of may nonprofit
Speaker 3: technology service provider services and all of this follows. There
Speaker 3: was a report that was put out by the Anti
Speaker 3: Defamation League and it is called Bad Gateway How deplatforming
Speaker 3: effects extremist websites And here's what the ADL recommended. It says,
Speaker 3: quote deplatforming websites removing infrastructure services they need to operate,
Speaker 3: such as website hosting, can reduce the spread and reach
Speaker 3: of extremism and hate online. But when does deplatforming succeed?
Speaker 3: And here's what ADL explained quote. This report shows that
Speaker 3: deplatforming can decrease the popularity of extremist websites, especially when
Speaker 3: done without warning and they go through We learned four
Speaker 3: important lessons about how deplatforming affects extremist websites, by which
Speaker 3: they mean anything right of center. Number one, it can
Speaker 3: cause popularity rankings to decrease immediately. Number two, it may
Speaker 3: take users a long time to return to the website.
Speaker 3: Sometimes the website never regains its previous popularity bingo number
Speaker 3: three unexpected and unexpected as key. Unexpected deplatforming makes it
Speaker 3: take longer for the website to regain its previous popularity levels,
Speaker 3: and number four Replicating deplatform services such as discussions, discussion
Speaker 3: forums or live streaming video products on a standalone website
Speaker 3: presents significant challenges, including higher costs and smaller audiences. Now
Speaker 3: I want to go into a little bit more. This
Speaker 3: is what the ADL report. It has an entire section
Speaker 3: that says what is deplatforming? And by the way, the
Speaker 3: corporate media insists when we talk about deplatforming that we're
Speaker 3: making it up. Well, if you actually read the blueprint,
Speaker 3: they are very explicit. The left is explicit they want
Speaker 3: to silence use. So let me read from this ADL
Speaker 3: report quote. There are three main categories of infrastructure that
Speaker 3: keep websites running. Domain registrars, web hosting companies, and security
Speaker 3: protection companies. Number one, the website must be able to
Speaker 3: register and keep a domain name. A domain name such
Speaker 3: as Google dot com or ADL dot org is how
Speaker 3: visitors find a site. If a website is removed from
Speaker 3: domain name services, it becomes much more difficult, if not impossible,
Speaker 3: to find Number two, Web hosting companies and content distribution
Speaker 3: networks provide digital storage space for all the files, pictures, videos,
Speaker 3: and software that make up the content of a website.
Speaker 3: When a website loses its hosting provider, the site's content disappears.
Speaker 3: Losing a CDN a content distribution network can cause slow
Speaker 3: service for high traffic sites. And number three, a third
Speaker 3: category of infrastructure provider includes companies that protect websites from
Speaker 3: external security risks such as distributed denial of service d
Speaker 3: DOS attacks. DDS attacks flood a website with fake traffic
Speaker 3: to overwhelm it, rendering it unable to answer normal user requests.
Speaker 3: If an infrastructure company, such as a network security firm
Speaker 3: cloud fare, refuses to provide DS protection to a vulnerable website,
Speaker 3: it is vulnerable to being flooded with traffic, rendering it inaccessible.
Speaker 2: As before, If you want to hear the rest of
Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
Speaker 2: down the podcasts from earlier this week to hear the
Speaker 2: entire thing. I want to get back to the big
Speaker 2: story number three of the week. You may have missed.
Speaker 1: Tenner.
Speaker 2: I want to talk about what's also happening at the border.
Speaker 2: The President of the United States of America has come
Speaker 2: out and it's pretty clear we now know what is
Speaker 2: reelection campaign again. I guess for the onslaught of illegal
Speaker 2: immigrants coming into this country is going to be it is.
Speaker 2: We need to start handing out amnesty somehow. That's going
Speaker 2: to fix the problems in this country. And it's something
Speaker 2: that we can all be proud of if we give amnesty.
Speaker 2: Here is the President of the United States of America
Speaker 2: in his own words.
Speaker 8: I love him when people say why dreamers. Can you
Speaker 8: imagine a kid two years old, Sam, Mom, don't take
Speaker 8: it because real ground is against the law. Give me
Speaker 8: a break. These have been model citizens. Congress has to act,
Speaker 8: and the right thing to do is to keep pushing
Speaker 8: forward until we get it done. Get it done.
Speaker 2: So there's this famous line, get it done. So he
Speaker 2: is doubling down. Now not only do we have it
Speaker 2: wide open borders, we have countless millions of illegal immigrants
Speaker 2: coming in. But he refuses to admit the carnage is
Speaker 2: taking place in the southern border. And now it's pushing
Speaker 2: for amnesty Part one, which would be all of these
Speaker 2: as he describes them, dreamers, and then the next part
Speaker 2: would be well more our illegal immigrants, and then part
Speaker 2: three would be even more illegal immigrants. This is what
Speaker 2: he's doing for this election.
Speaker 3: Well, listen, Biden's making clear that Joe Biden and the
Speaker 3: Democrats they stand with illegal immigrants. And given the choice
Speaker 3: between illegal immigrants and American citizens, they're with the illegals.
Speaker 3: Given the choice between criminals and law abiding citizens, there
Speaker 3: with criminals. And that is a consistent theme. It's why
Speaker 3: eleven million people across into this country illegally, because they
Speaker 3: look at those eleven million illegal immigrants and they say, hey,
Speaker 3: those are future Democrat voters. We stay in power if
Speaker 3: we let them in, and they turn a blind eye
Speaker 3: to the people who are suffering and dying. You know
Speaker 3: who Joe Biden didn't talk about this week?
Speaker 1: Who was that?
Speaker 3: He didn't talk about Marvin Perez Lopez. Now, who is
Speaker 3: Marvin Perez Lopez. Well, he was arrested the last couple
Speaker 3: of days. He is an immigrant from Guatemala. He was
Speaker 3: arrested over the weekend for kidnapping a minor under the
Speaker 3: age of thirteen and sexual assault. That's according the Palm
Speaker 3: Beach County Sheriff's Office. Marvin Perez Lopez was in the
Speaker 3: country illegally was arrested on May fourth. Perez Lopez reportedly
Speaker 3: left Guatemala in early January, crossed through Mexico, and what
Speaker 3: did he do. He turned himself into the border patrol.
Speaker 3: But of course, Joe Biden, being a Democrat, he turned around,
Speaker 3: he let him go. Do you know when Perez Lopez
Speaker 3: was given a court date.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid that you're gonna say years from the moment
Speaker 2: they let him go.
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty seven. There you go, twenty twenty seven, he
Speaker 3: was released, he went to Florida, and then he turned
Speaker 3: around and he's now been charged with kidnapping a minor
Speaker 3: under the age of thirteen and sexual assault. Now we're
Speaker 3: not going to say the miner's name, but we are
Speaker 3: going to point out, week after week after week, every
Speaker 3: single week, there's another violent crime committed by an illegal
Speaker 3: immigrant Joe Biden releases and what is he is he
Speaker 3: talking about?
Speaker 8: That?
Speaker 3: Does he care about this child who was kidnapped and
Speaker 3: sexually assaulted? The answer has to be known. Now. Look,
Speaker 3: when I say that, Ben, some people might say, gosh,
Speaker 3: that's harsh. What do you mean he doesn't care about
Speaker 3: a child kidnapped and assaulted. If he cared, he would
Speaker 3: stop releasing illegal immigrants. You can't keep doing it when
Speaker 3: you see, Hey, when I do this, children get kidnapped
Speaker 3: and raped. Maybe I should stop doing this. That's actually
Speaker 3: what someone who cared about the crime and wanted to
Speaker 3: prevent the next child from being kidnapped and raped would do.
Speaker 3: Joe Biden, And by the way, every single Democrat in Congress,
Speaker 3: without exception, every single Senator, every single House member, they
Speaker 3: don't care either. Why do I know they don't care,
Speaker 3: because if they cared, they'd be willing to stand up
Speaker 3: to Biden and say enough is enough, stop releasing violent,
Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens. And in the Senate, every single time
Speaker 3: I force a vote, and I've done it over and
Speaker 3: over and over again, every Democrat, all of them vote
Speaker 3: in favor of releasing illegal immigrants, even if they're committing
Speaker 3: crimes against children in America.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, there's you know the old saying, you know,
Speaker 2: see no evil here, no evil, right, and then you
Speaker 2: can insulate yourself. The Democrats, though, have heard enough to
Speaker 2: know just how bad it is the border, and now
Speaker 2: every state's a border state, and seeing how bad it
Speaker 2: is with what's happening whether it's in New York City,
Speaker 2: whether it's in Denver, Colorado. I mean it's widespread, the
Speaker 2: chaos and the anarchy, and the destruction and the abuse
Speaker 2: of children, the sexual abuse, that the human trafficking, the drugs,
Speaker 2: the fetanol.
Speaker 1: Is there any of your.
Speaker 2: Colleagues that truly still don't know or is this just
Speaker 2: a if we don't talk about then we don't have
Speaker 2: to admit what we already know.
Speaker 3: Look, it's hypocrisy. I'll tell you tonight. I was in
Speaker 3: a classified briefing in the Senate. I was a classified
Speaker 3: briefing talking about all sorts of things, including the threats
Speaker 3: of terrorism in the United States, And there was a
Speaker 3: Democrat senator who at some point was sharing that, based
Speaker 3: on the briefings he'd received, there's an enormous risk of terrorism.
Speaker 3: He's deeply worried, and we do much more to prevent it.
Speaker 3: And I remember sitting there and thinking, Gosh, what you're
Speaker 3: saying sounds very reasonable. Why do you keep voting in
Speaker 3: favor of releasing eleven million legal immigrants, Like at some
Speaker 3: point you can't claim I'm worried about the threat of
Speaker 3: a terrorist attack when you have nearly two million gtaways
Speaker 3: when you have Iran calling for global Jahad against America,
Speaker 3: when they have hesbel On Hamas calling for global Jahad,
Speaker 3: and the Biden administration letting them go. And he was
Speaker 3: what was interesting is sitting in this classified briefing, this
Speaker 3: Democrat senator sounded emphatic, he sounded believable. I'm like, wow,
Speaker 3: he's really worried about a terrorist attack. But you know what,
Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago, we had a vote
Speaker 3: on the impeachment of Alejandro Majorcus, who has let eleven
Speaker 3: million illeg immigrants grit go, and this Democrat, along with
Speaker 3: every single other Democrat, voted to throw the case out
Speaker 3: to hear no evidence. They didn't care about the risk
Speaker 3: of terrorism. That's the simple reality.
Speaker 2: One other thing, and you talk about hypocrisy, which does
Speaker 2: make me laugh. The Democratic Convention is going to be
Speaker 2: held in Chicago, and we're now hearing that ahead of
Speaker 2: the Democratic Convention, they are going to clear out the
Speaker 2: area of illegal immigrants. Take a listen to this from
Speaker 2: local NBC News in Chicago.
Speaker 7: Strong reactions tonight from residents after learning Mayor Brandon Johnson
Speaker 7: is considering plans to open a new temporary migrant shelter
Speaker 7: in their South Side neighborhood, and you.
Speaker 1: Don't know where to put him. Why would you put
Speaker 1: him in our neighborhood? Well, why don't we go by
Speaker 1: your house?
Speaker 2: All of that money that he's given them, we've been
Speaker 2: begging for yous.
Speaker 1: We've lived to our whole life.
Speaker 3: We have a lot of bad things that happen here already.
Speaker 3: We do not need this, We just do not.
Speaker 7: Located just blocks away from Guaranteed right Field, the proposed
Speaker 7: building near Canal and Pershing is in the city's eleventh.
Speaker 3: Ward look of words, Yet it's hid in the back.
Speaker 1: Why is that a good location? We have no amenities
Speaker 1: here as it is.
Speaker 7: Alder Woman Nicole issued this letter to constituents yesterday, saying
Speaker 7: she was notified earlier this week and met with the
Speaker 7: mayor on Thursday. She says the city wants to move
Speaker 7: migrants staying at the Standard Club near the Dirts and
Speaker 7: Federal Building to her ward before the Democratic National Convention.
Speaker 1: This is just insane.
Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1: Keep them downtown, keep them.
Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, this is not our problem.
Speaker 7: The alder Woman made it clear she is against the
Speaker 7: proposed plan, citing safety and location concerns and lack of
Speaker 7: justification for the move. She says, quote, as our city
Speaker 7: grapples with this unprecedented influx of migrants, it is crucial
Speaker 7: that we handle the migrant crisis safely, responsibly, and with
Speaker 7: full trans parentcy. The well being of our communities must
Speaker 7: be the top priority.
Speaker 8: For all we want to do is all's our veterans,
Speaker 8: and they're getting kicked at a side for the people
Speaker 8: who didn't do.
Speaker 1: Anything for this country. Yet those mount and women honorably served,
Speaker 1: they should be coming first.
Speaker 2: I love the last guy there talking about our veterans,
Speaker 2: but you go back to why they're doing this center
Speaker 2: read behind the lines here. This is because the residents
Speaker 2: are downtown in the area where the DNC is going
Speaker 2: to be.
Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, we got to clean this up.
Speaker 2: It's got to be nice and friendly and look good
Speaker 2: for the Democrat National Convention. We got to move them
Speaker 2: out of this area, all right, throw them out there
Speaker 2: in this other part of the city.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
Speaker 3: And I thought the most revealing comment and that montage
Speaker 3: you played was the Alderman saying, this is not our problem. Now,
Speaker 3: she's a Democrat. All of those elected officials are Democrats.
Speaker 3: They keep voting for Democrats. They vote for a wild
Speaker 3: left wing Democrat mayor, they vote for a wild left
Speaker 3: wing Democrat governor, they vote for a wild left wing
Speaker 3: Democrats senator, they vote for a wild left wing Democrat president.
Speaker 3: Every one of those supports an invasion of this country
Speaker 3: of illegal immigrants, and they say, well, this is not
Speaker 3: our problem. Send them to Texas, send them to Florida,
Speaker 3: send them to anywhere other than our state. But we
Speaker 3: want them to keep coming in because you know what,
Speaker 3: we want them to show up in Texas and Florida
Speaker 3: and we want them to vote Democrats so we can
Speaker 3: be in power. But we don't actually want to deal
Speaker 3: with this invasion. The hypocrisy is massive, and if you
Speaker 3: want to change this, we need to have some real accountability.
Speaker 3: If they want open borders, we ought to send every
Speaker 3: single one of them to these blue jurisdictions until they
Speaker 3: realize eleven million people this is not right. They're doing
Speaker 3: it to Texas, they're doing it to Florida, and by
Speaker 3: the way, they're doing it to every other state in
Speaker 3: the Union. But they're trying to be utter hypocrites and say,
Speaker 3: don't do it to our own community.
Speaker 2: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with center,
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal
Speaker 2: with my podcast and you can listen to my podcast
