Senator, let's 62 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: start by reminding people about this story and how it began. 63 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: Venezuela and gang started taking over these apartment complexes. It 64 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: happened in, for example, in Colorado. First, police are now 65 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: warning of Venezuelan gang crime in places as far away 66 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: as Wisconsin, and the media is trying to act like 67 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 1: this isn't even happening. 68 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's happened in Chicago, it's happened in San Antonio, Texas. 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 2: And last week on the pod we covered two instances 70 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: of riff crime here in Texas. One in Dallas, the 71 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 2: woman who in her home for Venezuelan illegal immigrants broke 72 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: into her home, held her at gunpoint, tied her up, 73 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 2: pistol whipped her with their pistols, threatened to cut her 74 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 2: fingers off, and ropped her. And mind you that these Venezuelans, 75 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 2: they could speak no English. They were actually using Google 76 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: Translate on their phone to issue their orders. And it 77 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 2: was just dumb luck that one of them left a 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: fingerprint in the house that enabled them to be apprehended. 79 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,720 Speaker 2: We also know in Houston, Jocelyn Hungary, the beautiful twelve 80 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: year old girl raped and murdered by two illegal aliens, 81 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: whom Joe Biden and Kamala Harris released, they hadn't in 82 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 2: their custody. They released them the very same day they 83 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: apprehended them. When we now have reports that at least 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: one of those two child rapist and murderers was a 85 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: gang member from Venezuela as well. And then this story 86 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: that broke this past week entitled Alleged Venezuelan gang members 87 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 2: arrested in Houston, San Antonio. Dallas police also say there 88 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: has been gang activity in North Dallas linked to the 89 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: trend Deer Aragua gang, and let me read to you 90 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: from the Dallas Morning News.

According to 98 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,799 Speaker 2: a Texas Department of Public Safety news release, a DPS 99 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 2: agent assigned to the Houston Anti Gang Center was notified 100 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 2: of a suspected Trendurragua member living in the Houston area. 101 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 2: The investigation that led to the investigators to Jorgan's Robertson Coba, 102 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: thirty two, who was wanted out of Paarland for theft. 103 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 2: The release said. Robertson Cova, who DPS said as a 104 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: confirmed trend Aragua member, was booked in the Brassoria County 105 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: Jail Monday on a theft charge. He remained in jail 106 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,919 Speaker 2: Tuesday on a five thousand dollars bond. Police said they 107 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 2: were able to link robertson COVID to the trender Aragua 108 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: due to his tattoos, including a five point crown and 109 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 2: a rose, which police said or known TDA markings. The 110 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 2: arrest comes days after multiple police agencies conducted a raid 111 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 2: at an apartment complex in San Antonio on Saturday, arresting 112 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 2: nineteen people, four of whom are alleged to be members 113 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 2: of trendur Arragua. According to the San Antonio Express News, 114 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 2: the raid was conducted by the San Antonio Police DPS, 115 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: the FBI Border Patrol, and the US Department of Homeland Security. 116 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: Of those arrested, sixteen were Venezuelan citizens and three were 117 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: US citizens. The Venezuelan citizens were taken into custody by 118 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Removal Operation agents after they 119 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: were processed at the Bear County Sheriff's office. This is 120 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: happening every single day. It is getting more and more 121 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 2: dangerous and trendi Agua originated as a South American prison gang, 122 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 2: and we are seeing more and more Texans and more 123 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 2: and more Americans across the country endangered because Joe Buden 124 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 2: and Kamala Harrison, the Democrats keep practicing catch and release 125 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 2: and releasing violent criminal gang members who wor illegal aliens. 126 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: By the way, the media is really trying to downplay this. 127 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 1: And there's a perfect example of this happening Sunday. We're 128 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: weeks away from the election, and on TV there was 129 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: a moment, and it was a moment where ABC was 130 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: interviewing the VP candidate at one of your colleagues incident, 131 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: Jeddie Vance, and they said that, well, you guys are 132 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: basically spreading misinformation misinformation about Venezuelan gangs, and she tried 133 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: to act like it is not a problem that is 134 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: quote taking over cities Trump described it because they haven't 135 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: actually taken over entire cities. They're just taking over entire 136 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: apartment buildings. Take a listen to this back and forth, 137 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: and this is what state sponsored media does when they 138 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: have a fix in for a kid that they're obsessed 139 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: with that. 140 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: It's a fact that Donator de Vantel, I'm just going 141 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: to say that local officials, local officials, and theme officials 142 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 3: say that is just flat wrong. But I want to 143 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: we play some other comments about migrants migrants, including an 144 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: Aurora in Colorado, where Trump said the city had been 145 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. The Republican mayor of 146 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 3: the city said, flatly, the city and state have not 147 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: been taken over or invaded or occupied by migrant gangs. 148 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 3: So do you support Donald Trump making those claims that 149 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 3: the Republican mayor says, we're grossly exaggerated and have hurt 150 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 3: the city's identity and sense of safety. I understand what 151 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: you're saying, that some people left behind, but he's making 152 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 3: these statements that the mayor is flat out disputing. 153 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 4: Well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they were exaggerated, exaggerated, 154 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 4: there's got to be some That means there's got to 155 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 4: be some element of truth here. 156 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 5: And of course President Trump. 157 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 4: Was actually in Aurora, Colorado talking to people on the ground, 158 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 4: and what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people 159 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,440 Speaker 4: are terrified by what has. 160 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 5: Happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs. Sender evance. 161 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened. 162 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 6: I'm going to stop you. 163 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 3: The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment CONFLICTX 164 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,359 Speaker 3: apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers 165 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 3: have acted on those concerns a handful of problems. 166 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 5: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself? 167 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 4: Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken 168 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 4: over by Venezuelan gangs. And Donald Trump is the problem 169 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 4: and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed 170 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 4: up with what's going on, and they have every right 171 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 4: to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha is 172 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused 173 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than 174 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 4: acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America 175 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 4: are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so 176 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 4: much more about that problem than anything else here. We've 177 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 4: got to get American communities in a safe space again. 178 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,599 Speaker 4: And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions, 179 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 4: most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't 180 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 4: know who they really are, you're going to have problems 181 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 4: like this. Kamala Harris ninety four executive orders that undid 182 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's successful border policies. We knew this stuff would happen. 183 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: Let's ragged about opening the border, and now we have 184 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 4: the consequences and we're living with it. We can do 185 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 4: so much better, but frankly, we're not going to do 186 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: better Martha unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out. 187 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 5: I'm glad that he did. 188 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 3: Okay, let's just end that with They did not invade 189 00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: or take over the city, as Donald Trump said. 190 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 5: I want to move on. 191 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 4: To a few apartment complexes, no big deal. 192 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: A few apartment complexes that the mayor did not seem 193 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: was invading the entire city. 194 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing that they're actually saying this with 195 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: a straight face, that a couple apartment complexes taken over 196 00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: by criminal gangs from Venezuela is apparently supposed to be 197 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: normalized and is no big deal in America today. 198 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,199 Speaker 2: So I'm actually surprised that Martha Ratits didn't finish her 199 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: questioning with I'm Kamala Harris, and I approved this message. 200 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,479 Speaker 2: I mean, it was pure naked propaganda for the Democrats. 201 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 2: It's only a handful of complexes, you know. Now, mind you, 202 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: if you happen to live in one of those apartment 203 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: complexes that has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs that 204 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 2: are controlling it and terrorizing it, maybe it's a problem 205 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 2: for you. But you know, I mean, where the media, 206 00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 2: what do we care about the pesky little people that 207 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: live in apartments. They don't really matter, you know what. 208 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: Martha Ratits has a very very nice home in DC. 209 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 2: She lives very very comfortably, So not a problem for 210 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,599 Speaker 2: her if some little people have to deal with these criminals. 211 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 2: I mean, what an arrogant, out of touch comment. Only 212 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,360 Speaker 2: a handful of apartment complexes have been taken over by 213 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 2: Venezuelan gangs, and she says no big deal look, I 214 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: think ABC looks utterly ridiculous in that exchange. 215 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: The other thing I think it tells you is the 216 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 1: fact that they believe in the idea that these gangs 217 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: should be here, and as long as they're not taking 218 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 1: over entire city, we're not even going to be concerned 219 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: or fight for the people. You remember when news and 220 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: some do it locally, But remember when news used to 221 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 1: like be the ones that would stand up for one 222 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 1: American where there was injustice being done in an apartment complex, 223 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: whether it was a slum ward or something like that, 224 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: or laws were being broken and quality of life was 225 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,440 Speaker 1: being affected, right, they would go on TV and they 226 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: would like do a ten o'clock news story standing up 227 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,840 Speaker 1: for the little guy who's standing up for the people 228 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: whose lives have been uprooted, who are being attacked. A 229 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: great example of this is there was an interview done 230 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 1: this week where, and I'm going to quote one of 231 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: the people that lived in the apartment complex put it 232 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: this way. They brought their country with them. They brought 233 00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: the terror of living in Venezuela and gang run apartment 234 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: complex is saying no one is helping them out. An 235 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: alleged apartment takeover who quote by Venezuelan gang members in 236 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 1: Colorado has elevated the issue of migrant crime, and viral 237 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: video captured by the error apartment tenants has refuted attempts 238 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: by politicians and establishment media to downplay or deny that 239 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: there is actually a threat. Cindy Romeo, whose video of 240 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: armed members of Venezuelan gang patrolling and forcing her out 241 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: of her building made news, right, this is how we 242 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: know about all this, But she said, the part of 243 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 1: the story that people are missing is that for months 244 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:57,559 Speaker 1: they were contacting local police and local elected officials about 245 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: the takeover as it was happening, and no one stopped it. 246 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: She said, we pleaded for months to law enforcement, pleaded 247 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: for months to elected officials for help, but those pleas 248 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: were met with a mix of a denial be in 249 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: difference and sympathetic inaction. She said, the gangs figured it 250 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: out they can continue to grow their influence inside of 251 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: her apartment complex. They forced people out by threatening them 252 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: by shooting their cars up and then bringing motorcycles into 253 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 1: the hallways to wake them up while they slept, until 254 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 1: they finally moved out. They changed the locks, and they 255 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: brought int illegals and they charged them rent. That's what 256 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 1: she said, is a takeover in how it happened. And 257 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: she said the worst part is everyone in the local 258 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: media acted like what we were dealing with didn't matter. 259 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: Well, and it's worse than that. There's not a single 260 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 2: elected Democrat that gives a flip. And that seems extreme, 261 00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 2: but if they care, they do something about it. They're 262 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 2: not concerned about the victims of crime. And by the way, 263 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 2: many of the victims of crime, by the least, illegal 264 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: immigrants are themselves Hispanic or are African American. Because these 265 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: illegal immigrants are frequently going to low income areas that 266 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: often have a significantly higher minority population. Jocelyn Nungary was 267 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 2: a young Hispanic girl that that tragically is a pattern 268 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 2: we've seen over and over and over again, which is 269 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: the victims of murder, the victims of rape, the victims 270 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 2: of child rape are frequently the most vulnerable among us. 271 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: And you know, the Democrats are big on saying they 272 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 2: love to emote, they love to care, but if they cared, 273 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: they would do something about this. I mean, let me 274 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: ask you, Ben, have you seen a single Democrat saying 275 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: it is unacceptable to have an apartment complex or multiple 276 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 2: apartment complelexes, or let's use Martha Raditz's phrase, a handful 277 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 2: of apartment complexes taken over by violent Venezuelan gang. Have 278 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 2: you seen even one Democrat saying that? 279 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: No, and not only that as the woman that was 280 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: living in this apartment complex, but she said, quote, how 281 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: many gang members living right outside your door is okay? 282 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 1: How many gun guns right outside your door is okay? 283 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 1: How many motorcycles reving their engines in the middle of 284 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 1: the night to wake you up and your kids up 285 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: is okay. 286 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: Well, the media doesn't want you to know about it. 287 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: If they want to dismiss it, if they want to 288 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 2: mock at it, they want to laugh at laugh at it. 289 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you look, that's one of the reasons 290 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 2: why moving on to our second story, where is the 291 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: presidential race right now? If you look at the real 292 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: clear politics averages of polling right now, if the election 293 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 2: happened right now, Donald Trump would get three hundred and 294 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 2: two electoral votes and Kamala Harris would get two hundred 295 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: and thirty six. That's based on the current averages. It 296 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily means that mean that's where we'll be, but 297 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 2: Let's break down what is the battleground and by the 298 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 2: way that the best way to do this is looking 299 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: at looking at the averages, because that way, if you 300 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: have particular polls that are outliers, the averages cut them out. 301 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 2: So let's start with Arizona. Arizona, the Real Clear Politics 302 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 2: average is Trump plus zero point five. Nevada, the Real 303 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: Clear Politics average is Trump plus zero point two. Wisconsin, 304 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 2: the average is Harris plus zero point three. Michigan the 305 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 2: average is Trump plus zero point nine. Pennsylvania the average 306 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 2: is Trump plus zero point four. North Carolina the average 307 00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 2: is Trump plus zero point five. And Georgia the averages 308 00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 2: Trump plus zero point five. Now, one thing that's important 309 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 2: to know about that every one of those is less 310 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 2: than a point. Those averages are close. You want to 311 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 2: understand why this election is close. I just went through 312 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: those seven battlegrounds on They're all within less than a 313 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: point on average, but consistently Trump is ahead in six 314 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 2: of the seven. And if that holds through on election day, 315 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 2: Trump's the next president. 316 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: You look at what you just described as Trump being 317 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 1: the next president. Let's let's dive into that. Before we 318 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: do that, though, I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile. 319 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: If you have a cell phone, and nine nine percent 320 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 1: of you do, you may not realize every month when 321 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: you pay your bill to Big Mobile where your money 322 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: is going and what it's being used for. You may 323 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 1: not realize it's actually going to fight against your family values, 324 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: your Christian values. Big Mobile gives massive donations to liberal causes, 325 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 1: candidates and organizations, radical organizations, for example, that pay for abortions. 326 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 1: And that's exactly why I switch several years ago to 327 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Now, switching cell phones in twenty twenty four 328 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 1: is actually incredibly easy, and coverage of the past they're 329 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: long gone because now pretty much everybody uses the same 330 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: towers and the same grid. So when you switch to 331 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, you get to keep your same cell phone number. 332 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: You get to keep your same phone you have right now, 333 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: or you can upgrade to a new one and you 334 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: keep the same coverage. In fact, Patriot Mobile has a 335 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: coverage guarantee to give you peace of mind.

And you mentioned that there's 356 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: a chance that Donald Trump can really win this thing. 357 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: I look at the trends right now, and when you 358 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 1: see Saturday Night Live, for example, making fun of Kamala Harris, 359 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,560 Speaker 1: you gotta may ask yourself the Question Center. Are they 360 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: starting to hedge their bets a little bit, maybe as 361 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,199 Speaker 1: she lost her mojo? Or maybe did they just they 362 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,680 Speaker 1: weren't able to fake out enough Americans to believe she's 363 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,040 Speaker 1: somehow this great candidate. 364 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: Well, give a listen right now to S and L 365 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 2: turning on Kama. It's really quite remarkable. They never turned 366 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 2: on Barack Obama. They were very reluctant to turn on 367 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: Joe Biden. But it's interesting that we've really seen the 368 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: late night comics recognizing just how absurd of a candidate 369 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: she is. 370 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, they do this family feud. If you don't know 371 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: the game show, or if you want you to have 372 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: reference here, family feud. They do a mock up of that, 373 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 1: and it's the quote Republicans against the Democrats. And not 374 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 1: only do they make fun of Kamala, they make fun 375 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,360 Speaker 1: of like the entire Democratic Party and Joe Biden. Take 376 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: a listen. 377 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 7: All right, letters the game Okay, one hundred people survey, 378 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 7: Top six answers on the board.

I'm in real time, 424 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh. They're they're hedging their 425 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: bets right now. And not only were they making fun 426 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: of Kama, but they put the guy that they're basically 427 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: saying should have been given the VP candidacy ahead of 428 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 1: of wal two. They add at third in line next 429 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, like they were sending all the signals 430 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: that hey, maybe this isn't gonna work out. 431 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 2: Well, Look, they're they're clearly recognizing their problems and and 432 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,119 Speaker 2: SNL making fun of Democrats that doesn't happen very often. 433 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 2: And it was actually funny one on one of the 434 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 2: few times SNL is funny. H And by the way, 435 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200 Speaker 2: I'm all for making fun of Republicans too. SNL has 436 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 2: made fun of Trump. They made fun of me a 437 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 2: lot of times that they It can certainly be funny 438 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: making fun of Republicans, but when it's a one sided 439 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 2: partisan screed, it makes it a lot less interesting that 440 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 2: that was. That was pretty funny. But you know, it's 441 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: interesting NBC. It's not just their their their late night 442 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,159 Speaker 2: comedy that's recognized that Kamala is in trouble. Take a 443 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 2: listen to what NBC said on Meet the Press on Sunday. 444 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 8: Vice President Kamala Harris had a five point lead in 445 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 8: our last poll taken a month ago right after the debate. 446 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 8: That lead has all but evaporated. 447 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 6: Willie, take a look at. 448 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 8: This new head to head matchup forty eight percent to 449 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 8: forty eight percent. That is what we call a dead 450 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 8: locked race. It underscores what we all know that this 451 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 8: is tight, that the country is sharply divided. One of 452 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 8: the other big headlines here, people are viewing the Trump 453 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 8: presidency more favorably than the Biden presidency. Why is that significant? 454 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 5: We've seen the. 455 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 8: Vice president get pressed repeatedly on what she would do 456 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:46,000 Speaker 8: differently than President Biden, and she's really struggled with that answer. 457 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,080 Speaker 8: We have new reporting that will roll out on the 458 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 8: show this morning, Willie taking us inside the Harris campaign 459 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 8: where there are discussions about changing her answer on that. 460 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 8: Can she draw a distinction on the Middle East, for example, 461 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 8: on immigration? All under discussion with this razor type race. 462 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 4: Really, and she continues to say, I am not Joe Biden, 463 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 4: but you're right, so we'll have to get more specific 464 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 4: here down there. 465 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: I mean, that is a panic if you are the 466 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 1: Democratic Party, Am I wrong? 467 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 5: Yeah? 468 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 2: You can hear them. 469 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 6: Oh gosh. 470 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: She says she's not Joe Biden, but everyone knows she is. 471 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: She's exactly the same. But she's got to say she'll 472 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 2: do something better like immigration, the thing she was in 473 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 2: charge of the last four years she was borders are 474 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 2: but no, no, no, she's president. Suddenly the open border 475 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,879 Speaker 2: she was in charge of won't happen. That panic is 476 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 2: significant and listen. This race remains incredibly close, but there 477 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 2: is reason to be a lot more optimistic today than 478 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 2: was a month ago. The poll numbers are a lot 479 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 2: more encouraging, and we got three weeks to go. 480 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:52,200 Speaker 1: I want to move to another subject real quick, and 481 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 1: this is the reason why we do this podcast is 482 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: we get to bring you information that is not being covered, 483 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: and this is important. There was a investigation that you 484 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: guys put together in Washington that revealed and you were 485 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:13,200 Speaker 1: the leader on this, how the Biden Harris administration diverted 486 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: billions of dollars from scientific research to DEI activists. And 487 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: for people that are listening, let's start with this, remind 488 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: them what DEI stands for. And then this story that 489 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: is broken. 490 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,479 Speaker 2: Well, DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion, and it is 491 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 2: the catchphrase of the woke left. And let me just 492 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 2: give you the headline. Before Biden took office in twenty twenty, 493 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 2: less than one percent of the grants from the National 494 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 2: Science Foundation were related to AAI DII. Today that number 495 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: is greater than ten percent. So there has been a massive, 496 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: massive shift. Now what does that mean. Well, this past 497 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 2: week I put out a report so as you know, 498 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 2: I'm the ranking member on the Senate Committee of Commerce, Science, 499 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 2: and Transportation. That means I'm the senior Republican on the 500 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 2: Commerce Committee. The Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over about forty 501 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 2: percent of the US economy, including science, and including the 502 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 2: National Science Foundation. So my team engaged in a systematic 503 00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 2: study and we put out a report examining how the 504 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 2: National Science Foundation has increasingly politicized the use of taxpayer 505 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:30,920 Speaker 2: dollars meant for scientific research. And the report shows that 506 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 2: in its first week, the Biden Harris administration mandated that 507 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 2: all taxpayer funded scientific research and development must incorporate diversity, 508 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 2: equity and inclusion DEI values. In response to this directive, 509 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 2: the National Science Foundation allocated over two point zero five 510 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:59,760 Speaker 2: billion dollars over two billion dollars to thousands of research 511 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: that promoted neo Marxist perspectives or DEI tenants, and taxpayer 512 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 2: dollars supported these very questionable scientific studies used by researchers 513 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 2: to drive extreme ideologies in the classrooms and on their campuses. 514 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 2: And here are the top line numbers. Our analysis identified 515 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,000 Speaker 2: three thousand, four hundred and eighty three groups, over ten 516 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 2: percent of all National Science Foundation grants during the Biden 517 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 2: Harris administration that went to questionable projects promoting DEI or 518 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: pushing neo Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle, and our 519 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 2: investigation grouped these grants into five categories status, social justice, gender, race, 520 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 2: and environmental justice. So let me get let me give 521 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: you some of the examples. So Shirin Vosugi, who was 522 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: an associate professor of Learning Sciences at Northwestern University and 523 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 2: a co principal investigator for a one million, thirty four thousand, 524 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty one dollars NSF grant award in 525 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: twenty twenty three for a project titled Quote Reimagining Educator 526 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 2: learning Pathways through story Work for Racial Equity in STEM 527 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 2: and Vosugi credits Marxist traditions for her decision to teach 528 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 2: Quilt children quote the meaning of genocide and apartheid after 529 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: Hamas's attack against Israel. One other example, in twenty twenty three, 530 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 2: NSF awarded Georgia Institute of Technologies Kelly Cross ninety nine, 531 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 2: seven hundred and ninety one dollars to quote disrupt racialized 532 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 2: privilege in the STEM classroom by acknowledging quote whiteness and 533 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 2: white supremacy are deeply ingrained in the past, present, and 534 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,400 Speaker 2: future of US higher education. Cross saw to quote subvert 535 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 2: these toxic systems to create a more equitable education system 536 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,240 Speaker 2: and to quote initiate a national conversation about addressing racial 537 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 2: inequity and white supremacy in the stem, profession and classroom. 538 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,680 Speaker 2: This is what your taxpayers tax dollars are going towards. 539 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,360 Speaker 1: How does this happen? Where they can divert this type 540 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: of funding at this level is the question I think 541 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: most taxpayers would want to ask immediately. Like, I can 542 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: understand skimming somebody here there, but diverting billions from scientific 543 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 1: research to di two billion dollars, Yeah, two billion dollars 544 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 1: to DII activists. That's not where your tax dollurs are 545 00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: supposed to go. And by the way, I think you 546 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,320 Speaker 1: and I agree on this, I wouldn't want these funds 547 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: diverted to a conservative activist group either. 548 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: No, this is meant to be science, This is meant 549 00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 2: to be saving people's lives. Let me give you another example. 550 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, NSF awarded San Jose State University 551 00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 2: four hundred and one thousand, seven hundred and forty four 552 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 2: dollars for an ongoing project to quote transform science teaching 553 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 2: and learning through empowering teachers and students as climate justice 554 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 2: action researchers and change agents. The project is meant to 555 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: foster quote the development of a hub for justice centered 556 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 2: science education and will produce school based materials in professional 557 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:29,840 Speaker 2: development activities that examine the interwoven nature of climate justice 558 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: and racial justice. Now who is in charge of this well? 559 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:40,400 Speaker 2: The principal investigator was Tammy Visentainer, who sees her classroom 560 00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 2: as a venue for social activism. In April twenty twenty four, 561 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 2: Viscentainer wrote that her course Quote for aspiring middle and 562 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 2: high school teachers centers racial justice in science education, and 563 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,560 Speaker 2: at the end of her course, she showed her student's 564 00:32:57,640 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 2: photos of Israel dramp dropping pamphlets inside the Gaza Strip 565 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 2: to warn residents to move out of the way of 566 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 2: incoming rocket fire. This attainer, who claimed that Hamasa's October 567 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 2: terror attack needed to be contextualized, explained that the photos 568 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 2: quote creates spaces that engage complexity in promotion of shared 569 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 2: dignity and humanity to build bridges across differences, But she 570 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,920 Speaker 2: didn't explain what the hell they had to do with science, 571 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 2: which is what a National Science Foundation grant is supposed 572 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 2: to be about. 573 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 1: Incredible. Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of 574 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. October seventh was the one year mark 575 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: of the worst masker of the Jewish people since the Holocaust. 576 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,640 Speaker 1: Twelve hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred 577 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: and fifty were taken hostage. Yet the war in Israel 578 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:54,080 Speaker 1: rages on today with a ran firing and massive barrage 579 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: of nearly two hundred ballistic missiles earlier this month. Israel 580 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: and her people are facing it acts from enemies on 581 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 1: all sides. Now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews 582 00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: is on the ground and they're providing critical needs for 583 00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 1: the people. We're talking about food, shelter, and safety to 584 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: those in need during this crisis. Since the war started, 585 00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: thousands of reservists every day Israeli citizens have left their 586 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: families to serve their country. Soldiers have been injured, and 587 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,520 Speaker 1: their families need our support as well. And that's why 588 00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,600 Speaker 1: I'm asking for you to give a gift of one 589 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:31,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars to help the Fellowship provide food 590 00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: and other basic necessities to these families to help them survive. 591 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,279 Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to so many of 592 00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: you've gotten involved, and thank you for those that are 593 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: going to give today, because the Fellowship also has a 594 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:49,640 Speaker 1: supporter that said they will match your gift, doubling your 595 00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,440 Speaker 1: impact if you give right now, So join us and 596 00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: letting those families know that listeners like you stand with Israel. 597 00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,439 Speaker 1: You can call to make your one hundred and fifty 598 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: dollars gift and it will double an impact right away 599 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: at eight eight four eight eight IFCJ that's eight eight 600 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 1: eight four eight eight four three two five, or you 601 00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: can go online to support IFCJ dot org. That's one 602 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:21,799 Speaker 1: word support. IFCJ dot org sent our final question on 603 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,640 Speaker 1: this story that you obviously have broken uh, and it's 604 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: a big one. When these types of stories break, usually 605 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 1: in the past, you'd have a lot of media that 606 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 1: would cover it. You'd have other colleagues that would come 607 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,719 Speaker 1: in and say they want to make sure this is 608 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:42,000 Speaker 1: stopped or have rules and regulations that would help stop 609 00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: it right away. When you came out with this report, 610 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 1: did any of the major media outlets call and say, hey, 611 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: we want this info that you're exposing or do they 612 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:51,040 Speaker 1: just look the other way. 613 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,759 Speaker 2: Well, there were a handful of stories, but they were 614 00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 2: principally in conservative outlets because the actual corporate media doesn't 615 00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,359 Speaker 2: cover news. This news is in can the fact that 616 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are funneling billions that's meant 617 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 2: to go to science, that's meant to save lives, that's 618 00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 2: meant to promote like basic research, they're funneling it instead 619 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 2: to aggressively ideological, left wing activist zelots. They're using it 620 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:22,439 Speaker 2: to corrupt students, to corrupt universities, to corrupt K through 621 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,120 Speaker 2: twelve education. That is a message that the media does 622 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 2: not want to cover. They will actively do everything they 623 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 2: can to suppress, because, look, you know, what's the big 624 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 2: deal to stealing billions of dollars of tax paramney to 625 00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,439 Speaker 2: fund Marxists poisoning the minds of our kids.
