Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Center Ted Cruz Weekend Review,
Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you, and here are the major stories
Speaker 1: that we talked about this week that you may have missed.
Speaker 1: First up, Ukraine drone strike on Russia, how it was done,
Speaker 1: It was truly incredible, and what does it mean moving forward? Also,
Speaker 1: two Chinese nationals with biopathogens snuck them into the US,
Speaker 1: and we're going to do research at the University of Michigan.
Speaker 1: How many more could there be in this country just
Speaker 1: like them? And what does this mean for China and America?
Speaker 1: That explained as well. And finally, the real threat of
Speaker 1: other terrorists being here in the US after the Colorado attack.
Speaker 1: So how big of a threat was Biden's open borders
Speaker 1: and how many terrorists could be lying in Wait, it's
Speaker 1: the weekend review and it starts right now. I want
Speaker 1: to move to the other big story, and that is
Speaker 1: Ukraine claims a massive drone strike on Russia and all
Speaker 1: across literally the country from one side the other. They
Speaker 1: were hitting sites of Russian bombers and what was called
Speaker 1: a spider web operation. I want to make sure though
Speaker 1: that people understand this was a response to an attack
Speaker 1: that took place at the hands of Russia and Putin
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump referred to him as a crazy man afterwards.
Speaker 1: So let's give the background before we explain what happened.
Speaker 2: Well, Listen, the war has been ongoing for more than
Speaker 2: two years now. There's been massive casualties on both sides.
Speaker 2: Russia is the aggressor Russia. Russia is the wrongdoer. Putin
Speaker 2: invaded Ukraine or another sovereign nation. Putin did so because
Speaker 2: Joe Biden was so incredibly weak, because he was ineffective
Speaker 2: commander in chief. Putin did so because Joe Biden waived
Speaker 2: the sanctions on nord Stream two, the pipeline that designed
Speaker 2: to move natural gas directly from Russia to Germany. I
Speaker 2: authored those sanctions, I passed them into law, and President
Speaker 2: Trump signed my sanctions legislation into law. Putin shut down
Speaker 2: Nordstream two literally the day Trump signed my sanctions legislation
Speaker 2: into law. Biden waived those sanctions, and Putin completed the
Speaker 2: pipeline and almost immediately invaded Ukraine. So the war has
Speaker 2: been ongoing and it is the cause. The cause of
Speaker 2: it is Biden's weakness. Well, what happened today Ukraine? You
Speaker 2: know I'll tell you at the start of the war,
Speaker 2: I remember sitting in a classified briefing, and it was
Speaker 2: a classified briefing with all one hundred senators. And we
Speaker 2: had in that briefing with the Secretary of State, with
Speaker 2: the Secretary of Defense, with the Chairman of the Joint
Speaker 2: Chiefs of Staff, with the head of the CIA, the
Speaker 2: Director of National Intelligence. We had multiple players throughout the
Speaker 2: national security apparatus. This is all during the Biden administration.
Speaker 2: Every single one of them briefed all of the senators.
Speaker 2: They said, this war will be over within a week.
Speaker 2: Russia will sweep in, they'll conquer the whole country. Ukraine
Speaker 2: will fall, and within a week Kiev will be a
Speaker 2: Russian city. Now that intel, that national security assessment ben
Speaker 2: it wasn't slightly wrong, It wasn't a teeny bit wrong.
Speaker 2: It was totally catastrophically one hundred and eighty degrees false.
Speaker 2: We're sitting here more than two years later, the war
Speaker 2: is ongoing, and the Ukrainians keep shocking both the Russians
Speaker 2: and the American analysts who insists that they must lose.
Speaker 2: They must lose this latest strike, it truly is audacious.
Speaker 2: So the Ukrainians hit more than forty Russian bombers inside
Speaker 2: Russian territory, and it was a total of forty one
Speaker 2: strategic Russian aircraft. The name of the operation was Spiderweb
Speaker 2: and you can see online there's a video showing a
Speaker 2: drone attack at the Belaya Air Base in Russia's Irkust region,
Speaker 2: which is in Siberia, nearly three thousand miles away from Ukraine.
Speaker 2: So understand this happened not by Ukraine but three thousand
Speaker 2: miles away. And the bombers they're under attack, their explosions,
Speaker 2: Smoke is rising from the scene and one source said
Speaker 2: quote preliminary estimates indicate that enemy aviation has suffered over
Speaker 2: two billion dollars in damage. Enemy strategic bombers are burning
Speaker 2: en mass in Russia. That is a major attack. It
Speaker 2: is an extraordinary attack. Now that follows the night before
Speaker 2: Russia launched four hundred and seventy two drones according to
Speaker 2: the Ukrainian Air Force. Earlier on Sunday, Ukraine's army set
Speaker 2: a Russian missile strike killed at least twelve Ukrainian service
Speaker 2: members and injured sixty. So Russia has been very much
Speaker 2: the aggressor. But this attack taking out major aircraft resources
Speaker 2: from Russia is a big victory for Ukraine.
Speaker 1: It is a big, big victory. They are obviously worried individuals,
Speaker 1: especially in that part of the world, that Russia will
Speaker 1: then now retalied in some massive way and then therefore
Speaker 1: blaming Ukraine saying you should not have done this attack
Speaker 1: that took them a long time to plan strategically. I
Speaker 1: want to get your response to that, because there does
Speaker 1: seem to be quite often that when Ukraine does something,
Speaker 1: the narrative becomes, well, they're the ones that will bring
Speaker 1: us to the brink of World War III, because now
Speaker 1: Russia is going to respond and it's actually their fault
Speaker 1: that they went over the top on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Look, Russia has been the aggressor from the beginning.
Speaker 2: Ukraine is defending itself. I want to break down how
Speaker 2: they carry this out because it's actually this is the
Speaker 2: stuff of spy novels. Know. We talked about when Israel
Speaker 2: struck back against Hezbolah with with first the pagers and
Speaker 2: then with the walkie talkies. That was an extraordinary story.
Speaker 2: This has similar aspects. It's like something out of Mission
Speaker 2: Impossible of the born identity. And let me read from
Speaker 2: its historian Reuters the specific facts. Here's what Reuters reported
Speaker 2: to attack Russian air bases. Ukrainian spies hid drones in
Speaker 2: wooden sheds. Ukrainian secret services were able to attack strategic
Speaker 2: bomber aircraft at Russian air bases on Sunday by hiding
Speaker 2: explosive laden drones inside the roofs of wooden sheds, according
Speaker 2: to a Ukrainian security official. Ukraine's domestic security agency, the SBU,
Speaker 2: acknowledged that it carried out the operation code named Spider's Web,
Speaker 2: and said that had caused considerable damage. The sheds were
Speaker 2: loaded onto trucks that were driven to the perimeter of
Speaker 2: the air base. The roof panels of the sheds were
Speaker 2: lifted off by a remotely activated mechanism, allowing the drones
Speaker 2: to fly out and begin their attack. The official set.
Speaker 2: The security official, has spoken on conditions of anonymity, said
Speaker 2: the strikes conducted on Sunday were on four air bases
Speaker 2: and that forty one Russian warplanes were hit. An SBU
Speaker 2: statement posted on the telegram messaging app estimated the damages
Speaker 2: caused by the assault at seven billion dollars and here's
Speaker 2: a quote. Thirty four percent of strategic cruise missile carriers
Speaker 2: at the main airfields of the Russian Federation were hit. Wow,
Speaker 2: that is remarkable. And it is the fact that they
Speaker 2: could carry it out in wooden sheds, that they could
Speaker 2: smuggle right next to the Russian airfield. That's a significant
Speaker 2: tactical and strategic victory.
Speaker 1: So when you look at this, what is the best
Speaker 1: case scenario for this attack? Does it make Russia realize
Speaker 1: A they're vulnerable and B maybe we need to go
Speaker 1: back to the table because as you heard President Trump say,
Speaker 1: he said Putin was crazy last week, a crazy man
Speaker 1: and refusing to actually stop this war. Instead he went
Speaker 1: on this big attack in Ukraine.
Speaker 2: Ukraine responds, Yeah, Look, I think President Trump is deeply
Speaker 2: frustrated with Vlatimir Putin right now. President Trump wants this
Speaker 2: war to end. I believe this war will end. It
Speaker 2: will end this year. And one of the reasons it's
Speaker 2: going to end is I think the United States Congress
Speaker 2: is done sending money to Ukraine that at this point
Speaker 2: we have sent over one hundred billion dollars. Enough is enough.
Speaker 2: This war needs to end. So the blank checkbook that
Speaker 2: Joe Biden the Democrats gave that blank checkbook is done. Now,
Speaker 2: what I believe is it needs to end in a
Speaker 2: negotiated settlement, and it should end in a way that
Speaker 2: is a clear and objectively discerned loss for Russia. Putin
Speaker 2: is our enemy. Russia is our enemy, and we want
Speaker 2: we want our enemies to be weaker and not stronger.
Speaker 2: How this ends exactly, it's going to depend on Zelensky
Speaker 2: and Putin. Zelensky right now doesn't want to negotiate a piece.
Speaker 2: He's looking to fight and defend his country. I understand
Speaker 2: that he just doesn't have an entitlement for us to
Speaker 2: pay for it. Putin Putin right now, Trump believe that
Speaker 2: if he leaned in, Putin would agree to come to
Speaker 2: the table and seek terms of peace. At least so
Speaker 2: far he hasn't. It is possible this devastating strike on
Speaker 2: Russia will change Russia's calculus. That being said, look, one
Speaker 2: of the dangerous things about fighting a dictatorship is that
Speaker 2: Putin can inflict enormous pain and misery on the Russian
Speaker 2: citizenry and still stay in power. So I don't know
Speaker 2: how this resolves. I believe it will resolve at the
Speaker 2: end of the day. But right now, Putin and Zelenski
Speaker 2: both seem like they want to keep fighting.
Speaker 1: Now I want to hear the rest of this conversation.
Speaker 1: You can go back and listen to the full podcast
Speaker 1: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, Senator,
Speaker 1: let's move to this. Really, I would say very shocking
Speaker 1: and scary news that not one, but two Chinese nationals
Speaker 1: have been charged by US federal authorities for allegedly smuggling
Speaker 1: a dangerous agricultural pathogen into the United States of America.
Speaker 1: It is basically, in Layman's terms, a fungus that poses
Speaker 1: a significant threat to crops such as wheat, barley, and rice.
Speaker 1: It could cause massive disease and an essence famine on
Speaker 1: our agriculture in this country. And this was brought into
Speaker 1: this country, and it just screams of another example of
Speaker 1: why you don't trust China and why we have to
Speaker 1: watch them and protect ourselves. It reminds, I think a
Speaker 1: lot of people of COVID nineteen. But this could literally
Speaker 1: recavoc on our entire national security from a basic we
Speaker 1: need food to live strategy. If it was weaponized against.
Speaker 2: Us, well, this is a story. Unfortunately, you're not going
Speaker 2: to watch on the corporate media, ABCNBCCBS, they're not going
Speaker 2: to cover it. But China is our enemy, and China
Speaker 2: is I think the greatest geopolitical threat we have for
Speaker 2: the next one hundred years. We saw with COVID the
Speaker 2: incredible threats of a pathogen, of a virus that that
Speaker 2: that that can can do enormous damage, can destroy trillions
Speaker 2: of dollars, can can take massive toll in human life. Well,
Speaker 2: this story and I just want to read to you
Speaker 2: a tweet from the director of the FBI, Cash Betel.
Speaker 2: Here's what the FBI director said, quote new I can
Speaker 2: confirm that the FBI arrested a Chinese national within the
Speaker 2: United States who allegedly smuggled a dangerous bio biological pathogen
Speaker 2: into the country. The individual, Young Quinn Jian, is alleged
Speaker 2: to have smuggled a dangerous fungus called Fusarium gramminarium, which
Speaker 2: is an agro terrorism agent, into the US to research
Speaker 2: at the University of Michigan where she works. This fungus
Speaker 2: can cause a disease called head blight, a disease of wheat, barley, maize,
Speaker 2: and rice, causing significant health issues in both humans and livestock.
Speaker 2: It is responsible for billions of dollars in economic losses
Speaker 2: worldwide each year. Evidence also indicates Jian had expressed loyalty
Speaker 2: to the Chinese Communist Party and had received funding from
Speaker 2: the Chinese government for similar work on this pathogen in China.
Speaker 2: Jian's boyfriend, Zunya Liu, also charged in the complaint, works
Speaker 2: at a Chinese university where he conducts research on the
Speaker 2: same pathogen. Liu is alleged to a first liede that
Speaker 2: admitted to also smuggling fusarium gran grannarium into America through
Speaker 2: the Detroit Metropolitan Airport so that he too could conduct
Speaker 2: research at the University of Michigan. Both individuals have been
Speaker 2: charged with conspiracy, smuggling goods into the United States, false statements,
Speaker 2: and visa fraud. This case is a sobering reminder that
Speaker 2: the CCP is working around the clock to deploy operatives
Speaker 2: and researchers to infiltrate American institutions and target our food supply,
Speaker 2: which would have grave consequences, putting American lives, lives, and
Speaker 2: our economy at serious risk. Your FBI will continue working
Speaker 2: tirelessly to be on guard against it.
Speaker 1: You go through this and let's unpack it and just
Speaker 1: go back a little bit to pain. I think the
Speaker 1: broader picture, we've seen China financially infiltrate our colleges, our
Speaker 1: best colleges. We have seen them by influence. We saw
Speaker 1: this hell with the Biden Institute. For goodness sakes, we
Speaker 1: have witnessed the number of Chinese students that we allow
Speaker 1: to come into this country, be trained here, have access
Speaker 1: to R and D here. And then we've witnessed what
Speaker 1: our government did under Fauci with the amount of money
Speaker 1: we were sending to China that was doing a lot
Speaker 1: of this type of research and other things. And we
Speaker 1: shouldn't be surprised that this is happening now. But this
Speaker 1: again goes back to the vulnerability. If China is sending
Speaker 1: you money and sending millions of dollars to American universities,
Speaker 1: and then we see this type of research and the
Speaker 1: access at these research and suits like the University of Michigan,
Speaker 1: et cetera, why isn't there a massive red flag on
Speaker 1: every dollar now coming in from China? After seeing yet
Speaker 1: again the Chinese are enemy and they cannot be trusted.
Speaker 2: There's no doubt there should be. And listen, when I
Speaker 2: was first elected to the Senate thirteen years ago. I
Speaker 2: was saying then that China is the greatest threat we
Speaker 2: have for the next one hundred years. I got to
Speaker 2: tell you, Ben, at the time that was a very
Speaker 2: lonely view in the United States Senate. Every Democrat disagreed
Speaker 2: with me, and most of the Republicans did too. They
Speaker 2: all looked to China and they saw nothing but dollar
Speaker 2: signs as far as the eye could see. Now COVID
Speaker 2: changed that for a lot of people. They realized the mendacity,
Speaker 2: the duplicity, the damage China causes. China engages in widespread
Speaker 2: murder of its citizens, torture of its citizens. It had
Speaker 2: over a million wigures in concentration camps, modern day human slavery,
Speaker 2: organ harvesting. But they also engage in massive propaganda, massive
Speaker 2: espionage against the United States, massive theft of intellectual property.
Speaker 2: They are engaged in a global battle for world domination.
Speaker 2: They're objective, which they've told us. They're very explicit. Their
Speaker 2: objective is to be the dominant world power and to
Speaker 2: displace America, and we need to combat them on the
Speaker 2: global stage. China is engaged in Africa, in Latin America,
Speaker 2: and the Middle East and Asia, every part of the world.
Speaker 2: China is trying to become the dominant world power. They
Speaker 2: are waging a thousand year war. And when it comes
Speaker 2: to the danger of pathogens, look you look at COVID COVID.
Speaker 2: It was clear within the first couple of months of
Speaker 2: this pandemic that the evidence strongly suggested that the virus
Speaker 2: escape from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
Speaker 2: We now know that the corporate media suppressed that story,
Speaker 2: that Facebook suppressed that story at the explicit request of
Speaker 2: doctor Fauci. I will tell you this podcast Verdict with
Speaker 2: Ted Cruz in March and in April of twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: when COVID was first starting, we laid out the evidence
Speaker 2: that this came from China, from the Wuhan Institute of
Speaker 2: Virology before you could get it practically anywhere else. China
Speaker 2: bears enormous responsibility for what happened with COVID. I think
Speaker 2: the evidence is overwhelming that COVID escaped from a Chinese
Speaker 2: government lab. I think the evidence is significant that COVID
Speaker 2: was actually invented in a Chinese government lab, that they
Speaker 2: took natural viruses and they altered them using gaina function research.
Speaker 2: And that's not as compelling as the fact that it
Speaker 2: escaped from a government lab. But I think there's a
Speaker 2: lot of evidence of that. By the way, there are
Speaker 2: multiple federal agencies that are now explicitly concluded that COVID
Speaker 2: likely escaped from a Chinese government lab. When COVID escaped,
Speaker 2: the Chinese government covered it up. They suppressed the evidence,
Speaker 2: they destroyed the samples, They did everything they could to
Speaker 2: prevent others from understanding the source of this virus and
Speaker 2: also to frustrate efforts to stop the spread of this pandemic. Now,
Speaker 2: put that in the context of this story, a dangerous
Speaker 2: agro terrorism fungus that could do massive damage to crops,
Speaker 2: to livestock, to human beings in the United States being
Speaker 2: smuggled in by not one but two Chinese nationals being
Speaker 2: paid by the Chinese Communist Party. Look, it is not
Speaker 2: difficult to imagine a pathogen like that being released in
Speaker 2: the United States and doing enormous damage. And that's the
Speaker 2: sort of threat our government we need to be vigilant
Speaker 2: against when it comes to communist China.
Speaker 1: Well, and it goes back to again some of this
Speaker 1: evidence that Apparently they've been discussing the plan to smuggle
Speaker 1: these biological materials since at least twenty twenty two. The
Speaker 1: electronic devices contained documents expressing the Chinese Communist Party the CZP,
Speaker 1: and detailing research funded by the Chinese government. So the
Speaker 1: story just keeps repeating itself. It is over and over
Speaker 1: again when we see these things happen. It's directly tied
Speaker 1: tied to the Chinese Communist Party, the Chinese Communist government,
Speaker 1: and we should not be surprised as is happening. Will
Speaker 1: there be any reaction or anything that Congress can do
Speaker 1: on this very quickly?
Speaker 2: Well, listen, this has been an area I've been legislating
Speaker 2: for a long time. So, for example, one of the
Speaker 2: very first bills I passed into law dealt with Confucius institutes.
Speaker 2: Confucius institutes were formed on US universities all across the country,
Speaker 2: hundreds of them, and they were funded by the Chinese
Speaker 2: Communist Party. They conducted espionage and propaganda. I introduced legislation
Speaker 2: to cut off federal funding the universities that have Confucius institutes,
Speaker 2: passed it into law, and as a result, we've shut
Speaker 2: down most of the Confucians institutes across the country. So
Speaker 2: we can fight this, but we need to be vigilant
Speaker 2: and we need to.
Speaker 1: Fight as before. If you want to hear the rest
Speaker 1: of this conversation on this topic, you can go back
Speaker 1: and dow the podcast from earlier this week to hear
Speaker 1: the entire thing. I want to get back to the
Speaker 1: big story number three of the week you may have missed.
Speaker 1: I want to also get to this other big issue,
Speaker 1: and that is out in Colorado and the terror attack there.
Speaker 1: We've got a significant update on this individual and also
Speaker 1: real concerns and honesty now coming from the administration about
Speaker 1: the real threat of other terrorists that may be in
Speaker 1: this country that were led into this country by the
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris administration.
Speaker 2: Well, it turns out that four years of open borders
Speaker 2: over twelve million people to come into this country illegally.
Speaker 2: That was a really bad policy and even worse, Look,
Speaker 2: there were ten million people who were apprehended by the
Speaker 2: Biden administration. They let them go. That is problematic on
Speaker 2: many many fronts, But the most disturbing number is two million.
Speaker 2: They're roughly two million god aways. Those are people that
Speaker 2: crossed the border. We know cross the border, but yet
Speaker 2: they escaped detection. And those god aways are much much
Speaker 2: more likely to be criminals. They're much more likely to
Speaker 2: be murders, rapists, child molesters, terrorists, gang members. And if
Speaker 2: you look at this, this radical who attacked and firebombed
Speaker 2: the peaceful Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado, this was a
Speaker 2: guy who never should have been in this country to
Speaker 2: begin with. He came in on a tourist visa, over stated,
Speaker 2: and this was a radical Islamist. And I want to
Speaker 2: read to you a tweet from Bill Malusion. Now, regular
Speaker 2: listeners of this podcast know Bill Malusian is the best
Speaker 2: reporter in America. He reports for Fox News and he's
Speaker 2: been detailing what's going on at the border. Here's what
Speaker 2: Bill Malusion tweeted, breaking new details on Colorado terror attack
Speaker 2: suspect as Feds charged him with federal hate crime. According
Speaker 2: to federal court filings obtained by Fox News, Egyptian illegal
Speaker 2: alien Mohammed Solomon admitted in an interview that he wanted
Speaker 2: to kill all quote Zionist people, and he had been
Speaker 2: planning the attack for a year, and that he would
Speaker 2: conduct the attack again if he could. He allegedly told
Speaker 2: investigators that he waited to carry out the attack until
Speaker 2: his daughter graduated high school, and that he specifically targeted
Speaker 2: the quote Zionist group in Boulder after learning about them
Speaker 2: from an online search. It was premeditated, as he allegedly
Speaker 2: admitted he knew they would gather on Sunday at one pm,
Speaker 2: he arrived and waited for them. Additionally, investigators found a
Speaker 2: black container with fourteen more molotov cocktails near the spot
Speaker 2: he was arrested in. Inside his vehicle, investigators found paperwork
Speaker 2: with the words Israel, Palestine, and USAID. This man was
Speaker 2: admitted into the country via a tourist visa during the
Speaker 2: Biden administration. He overstayed, filed an asylum request, and was
Speaker 2: granted work authorization by the Biden administration, which expired at
Speaker 2: the end of March of this year. So I understand
Speaker 2: this guy came into this country, he overstated his visa,
Speaker 2: and yet the Biden administration said, hey, look a radical
Speaker 2: Islamic terrorist we want you to say. It was not
Speaker 2: hard to figure out from his social media who this
Speaker 2: guy was. But the Biden administration, they were not focused
Speaker 2: on defending this nation. They were not focused on stopping
Speaker 2: terrorists from coming into this country. Instead, they made a
Speaker 2: political decision. I get asked all the time, Ben, why
Speaker 2: would Democrats open up the borders? It clearly hurt them
Speaker 2: in the flat last election. Why would they do this?
Speaker 2: And I believe it was entirely about power. They viewed
Speaker 2: twelve million illegal immigrants, they said, listen, every one of
Speaker 2: these we think are going to vote for Democrats. We
Speaker 2: want them in here. Some portion of them will vote illegally.
Speaker 2: The rest of them, they believed, if they stayed in power,
Speaker 2: they'd grant amnesty and make them all voters. And if
Speaker 2: they have to bring in Muslim Brotherhood terrorists who were
Speaker 2: murdering people, sadly, the Democrats were willing to do that.
Speaker 1: This is the part that I really think we do
Speaker 1: need to make it clear, not just now but in
Speaker 1: the future. The Democratic Party, and you alluded to this
Speaker 1: in your comments there. Their plan they knew was going
Speaker 1: to have disastrous consequences from a national security standpoint. They
Speaker 1: were willing to play Russian Roulette with that open border.
Speaker 1: And they were warned and they saw the people that
Speaker 1: were on the terrorists watch list, Senator, and they didn't
Speaker 1: care because it was their overall plan to flood the
Speaker 1: country with the legal immigrants and fundamentally changes country. They
Speaker 1: knew this plan would allow for people that are terrorists,
Speaker 1: some of them on the terrorists watch lists at the time,
Speaker 1: to get into this country, and they still continued to
Speaker 1: have the open border policy because they basically said, Hey,
Speaker 1: it's part of our bigger plan, and there's going to
Speaker 1: be collateral damage from this, so be it.
Speaker 2: And listen when I say this, this sounds harsh, and
Speaker 2: you sort of think of a listener who's not terribly
Speaker 2: political and they're like, wait, the Democrats couldn't really want
Speaker 2: more terrorists in this country. But at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, that was the inevitable consequence of the policies
Speaker 2: they put in place. When you allow twelve million people
Speaker 2: to cross the border illegally, and by the way, the
Speaker 2: Biden Border control the border patrol, they instructed their agents
Speaker 2: be on the lookout for hesbela Hamas Palestinian Islamic Jehad
Speaker 2: terrorists coming across this border. Look, we have radical Zealots
Speaker 2: who have declared Jahad and America who have demanded of
Speaker 2: their terrorists murder as many Americans as you can and
Speaker 2: murder as many Jews and Israelis as you can. And
Speaker 2: in the face of those very real and clear national
Speaker 2: security threats, the fact that the Biden administration and the Democrats,
Speaker 2: it wasn't just Joe Biden, it wasn't just Kamala Harris,
Speaker 2: it was every single Democrat in the Senate, every single
Speaker 2: Democrat in the House. Because they voted in favor of
Speaker 2: open borders over and over and over again, they knew
Speaker 2: that some of the people coming were just like this
Speaker 2: radical and listen, I've reintroduced this week legislation to designate
Speaker 2: the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. The Muslim Brotherhood.
Speaker 1: This is something you've been sounding the alarm on for
Speaker 1: quite some time. I want to be very clear about that.
Speaker 2: So I've been fighting for this legislation for more than
Speaker 2: a decade. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. It
Speaker 2: is in countries throughout the Middle East. It is in Egypt,
Speaker 2: it is in cutter it is all across the Middle East.
Speaker 2: And the Muslim Brotherhood openly aggressively they support hamas, they
Speaker 2: support Hesbela. They are a terrorist organization and by the way,
Speaker 2: to be clear, in Egypt they're an actual place political party. Look,
Speaker 2: we had Mohammed Morsei, who was the leader of Egypt,
Speaker 2: who was a Muslim Brotherhood radical. Now now thankfully Mohammed
Speaker 2: Morsey was defeated, and he was defeated by Alcesi, who
Speaker 2: is fighting against the Muslim Brotherhood. Look, look, if you
Speaker 2: look at the Arabs who are dealing with this, the
Speaker 2: Muslim Brotherhood and the Jihadis, they believe in using violence,
Speaker 2: using murder to force people to embrace their radical Islamus view.
Speaker 2: And yet these are these are the radicals that are
Speaker 2: fighting that that are murdering Israelis, and that are murdering Americans,
Speaker 2: and and and this is exactly the radicals that this
Speaker 2: lunatic in Boulder, Colorado was embracing, and that Joe Biden,
Speaker 2: the Democrats were letting end of this country.
Speaker 1: Final question on the on the the designate of Muslim
Speaker 1: Brotherhood is a terrorist organization. Is this finally going to
Speaker 1: be the moment where you think there's a decent chance
Speaker 1: that this can become reality or there's still going to
Speaker 1: be Democrats at all costs that say we are going
Speaker 1: to defend this.
Speaker 2: So I hope so. So right now today the Muslim
Speaker 2: Brotherhood is designated as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia,
Speaker 2: They're designated in the United Arab Emirates, They're designated in Egypt,
Speaker 2: in Syria and Bahrain. But the United States has yet
Speaker 2: to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. When
Speaker 2: you have a group that actively encourages the waging of jahad,
Speaker 2: the murdering of innocence, they are a terrorist organization. And
Speaker 2: so I pressed, I pressed the entire first Trump term
Speaker 2: for the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated. We did not succeed.
Speaker 2: I think we will succeed this administration. I think President
Speaker 2: Trump is going to do this and I'm going to
Speaker 2: be keep designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization
Speaker 2: because that is who they are, and we saw the
Speaker 2: horrific and potentially deadly consequences this week in Boulder, Colorado.
Speaker 1: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Center
Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal
Speaker 1: with my podcast, and you can listen to my podcast
Speaker 1: every other day you're not listening to Verdict, or each
Speaker 1: day when you listen to Verdict afterwards, I'd love to
Speaker 1: have you as a listener to again the Ben Ferguson podcasts,
Speaker 1: and we will see you back here on Monday morning.
