1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Ted Cruz the week in Review, 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you, and we had a very busy 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: week with some top stories that maybe you miss well. 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: Let's start first with the shocking news that the ICC 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: wants to arrest Benjamin Net and Yahoo. We'll give you 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,959 Speaker 1: the latest on this radical move by the ICC and 7 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: what it means moving forward and how the Trump administration 8 00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 1: will respond. Also, Senator Cruz and Elon Musk, they were 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: together with President Trump watching this SpaceX launch. Senator Cruz 10 00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: actually flew with President Trump on Trump Force one and 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: learned a lot about his cabinet and his administration. He'll 12 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: give you all those behind the scene details. It's really interesting. 13 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: And finally, Alvin Bragg going row get again, trying to 14 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: manipulate the courts into hitting pause on the Trump prosecution 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: for four years until after he leaves the presidency. We'll 16 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: give the details behind that. It is the Weekend Review 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: and it starts right now. Centaera. I want to pull 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: an audible real quick because I should have mentioned this earlier. 19 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: But as we were just talking about Israel, the ICC 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: issued an arrest warrant for Net and Yahoo and Gallant 21 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: and they also they're like, oh yeah, we threw in 22 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: a hamask guide too, so it looks like we're being 23 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: equal here. This is a shocking attack by the ICC 24 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,119 Speaker 1: on net and Yahoo, and also one that makes it 25 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,440 Speaker 1: very tough for him to travel more than likely the 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: way he needs to because of the threat of being arrested, 27 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 1: for example, if he is traveling to many parts of Europe. 28 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: Well, it is an absolute outrage and the ICC already 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 2: had very, very questionable legitimacy, but with this decision, the 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: International Criminal Court has just become a kangaroo court, and frankly, 31 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: that's not fair to kangaroos. I mean, I mean, it 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: is an absolute This is a a political act of 33 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: anti Israel hatred and anti Semitism that sadly infests so 34 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: many of our international institutions that that that just hate 35 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 2: Israel profoundly. And I believe the United States we should 36 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 2: impose sanctions on every individual involved in issuing this arrest warrant, 37 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: from the prosecutor to the judges, everyone involved. They should 38 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 2: be sanctioned by the United States government. We should also 39 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: make clear that we will sanction anyone who attempts to 40 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 2: enforce this arrest warrant. If you're a French prosecutor, be 41 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 2: prepared to have American sanctions put on you if you 42 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 2: try to enforce this this utterly lawless arrest warrant. And understand, 43 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: the reason that the ICC did this is because of 44 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 2: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's incredible weakness. Listen, the ICC 45 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: has no jurisdiction over Israel. Israel is not a party 46 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 2: to the ic CC. It also has no jurisdiction over 47 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: the United States of America. And understand, this is a 48 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: threat not just against Israel, although it is very much that, 49 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: but this is a threat against America. This is a 50 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 2: threat against the people who hate America. Imagine these same 51 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: bigots who hate Israel how much they would love to 52 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 2: issue an arrest warrant for Donald Trump, or for the 53 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense of the 54 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: United States. And it is only because Joe Biden and 55 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris are so weak that the ICC felt empowered 56 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 2: to issue this. It's not an accident that this came 57 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: out after the presidential election, but before Trump was sworn in. 58 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: That is when the enemies of Israel and the enemies 59 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: of America historically have done some of the worst actions 60 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: against the United States and against Israel. It is when 61 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: if you remember, at the end of Obama the last 62 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 2: time we were in this comparable moment, which is a 63 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 2: democratic administration was ending and Donald Trump was get ready 64 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 2: to be sworn in as president. That would have been 65 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: November and December of twenty sixteen, right after the election. 66 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 2: Obama was leaving. And remember what the Obama administration did. 67 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 2: They orchestrated UN Resolution two three three four, which is 68 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 2: one of the most shameful resolutions ever to be voted 69 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: on in the United Nations, and the Obama administration it. 70 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 2: This resolution denounced much of modern Israel as illegitimate and 71 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 2: illegally occupied. It denounced the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem as 72 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: illegitimate and illegally occupied. It denounced the Whaling Wall in 73 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 2: Jerusalem as illegally occupied and illegitimate. And what happened is 74 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 2: the Obama State Department orchestrated it, They got others to 75 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 2: push it, and they just stood back and abstained. And 76 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: I will tell you this week, I had a classified 77 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 2: briefing with Tony blink In the Secretary of State, and 78 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: I asked him very directly in that briefing. Is the 79 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: Biden administration going to do the same thing, Because last 80 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 2: time y'all did that, it profoundly hurt Israel. It was 81 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: used by the enemies of Israel to justify all sorts 82 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: of targeting against the people of Israel, and I'm very 83 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 2: concerned the Biden administration is going to try to orchestrate 84 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: something similar. At the United Nations, we had a vote 85 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 2: this week that actually the Biden administration blocked to their credit, 86 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: where the UN was trying to call for an immediate 87 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 2: cease fire of the war against Tamas, but they did 88 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: not include within it a demand that the hostages be released, 89 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 2: and the Biden administration vetoed it without the hostages being 90 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 2: released as part of the language. But I'm worried in 91 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 2: the next two months that they will try to do 92 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: something very similar to what happened in December of twenty 93 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 2: sixteen with two three thirty four. And I think that 94 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 2: this ICC arrest warrant is shamed. I also think the 95 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: incoming Trump administration is going to stand very strongly against 96 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: this absolutely disgraceful decision. 97 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: Thune came out and threatened the International Criminal Court with 98 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: sanctions if it doesn't drop the net and now who warrant 99 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: for rest? But he also called on Schumer to not 100 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: wait for the Republicans to get in charge to do 101 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: the right thing, and to do something now on this. 102 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: He said, if Majority Leader Schumer does not act, the 103 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 1: Senate Republicans majority will stand with our key ally Israel 104 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: and make this another supportive legislation a top priority in 105 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: the next Congress. Is there a chance that Schumer could 106 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: actually lead on this as Thum called on him to do, 107 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 1: and said, don't make us wait till January. Do the 108 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: right thing now for Israel. 109 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: I think the chances are virtually zero. So the House 110 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: has passed legislation to do exactly that, and Schumer has 111 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 2: refused to take it up the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. 112 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: We have had legislation before us from Jim rish who's 113 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 2: getting ready to be the Republican chairman of the Foreign 114 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: Relations Committee, to do exactly that, to sanction the ICC 115 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,479 Speaker 2: for doing this, and the Democrats have refused to take 116 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: it up. It's basically shut down the Foreign Relations Committee 117 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 2: for the last six months because the Democrats have blocked 118 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: legislation standing up to the ICC. And look, this is 119 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 2: on the unfortunate reality that in today's Democrat Party there 120 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: is a pro Haamas faction of the Democrat Party. And 121 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 2: I don't think that as hyperbole. It is tragically the case. 122 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: They are the ones cheering. We just had votes this 123 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: week that Bernie Sanders pushed on the floor to cut 124 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 2: off weapons to Israel, to cut off thirty two thousand 125 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 2: tank rounds to Israel, cut off over fifty thousand mortar 126 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 2: cartridges to Israel, to cut off to cut off the 127 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 2: kits that are used to make precision bombs. Now understand 128 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 2: the argument of the leftist is that when Israel is 129 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 2: bombing Hamas Er Hesbelah, they accidentally have incidental civilian casualties. 130 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 2: So what is their response. Take away the ability to 131 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 2: have targeted smart bombs, so they can only drop dumb 132 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,239 Speaker 2: bombs that they can't steer. The difference a precision bomb 133 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 2: you can direct it so you hit your target and 134 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: it's much less likely to have collateral damage. These leftists 135 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 2: hate Israel so much they want to say, no, let's 136 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 2: take away your ability to target your weapons, so we 137 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: increase the number of civilians killed. And nineteen Senate Democrats 138 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,680 Speaker 2: voted to cut off Israel's funds that pro Hamas faction 139 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party. Not every Democrat in the House 140 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 2: and Senate is a member of it, but just about 141 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 2: every single Democrat is terrified of that faction. And it's 142 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: why Schumer look that the internal the internal notes from 143 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 2: Columbia University when Columbia was having the anti Semitic protest 144 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: and the leaders of Columbia were talking to Schumer, Schumer 145 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 2: told them, don't worry about it. The Democrat we don't care. 146 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,679 Speaker 2: It's only the Republicans who care about this. Understand what 147 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 2: that admission was, and that was out of Schumer's own mouth, 148 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 2: that we the Democrats, don't care about violent anti Semites 149 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: terrorizing students in Columbia University and other universities, threatening Jewish students. 150 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 2: It's not a priority for them. Why because they're terrified 151 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 2: by the Prohamas faction of the party who supports the 152 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 2: radicals and the anti Semites. That is tragically where we are. 153 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 2: And so I'm going to predict we will take up 154 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 2: the legislation to sanction the ICC, and we will do 155 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 2: it early next year when we have a Republican Congress 156 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 2: and a Republican president. I don't even know that we'll 157 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,559 Speaker 2: need that legislation, though, because I expect the Trump administration 158 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: to act unilatterly, I think there's ample authority under the 159 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 2: law for them to act. Even if the Democrats filibuster 160 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: legislation to sanction the ICC, I think the president will 161 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,840 Speaker 2: have ample authority to act come January twenty. 162 00:09:59,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 3: Now. 163 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: Want to hear the rest of this conversation, You can 164 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier 165 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: this week. 166 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 3: Now onto story number two. 167 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: As we were watching it, or I was watching on 168 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 1: TV and many others were, I do have to say 169 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: one of the most fun parts for me of watching 170 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, Trump and you and everybody there is just 171 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: the boy boyhood excitement is and I say that in 172 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: the in the in the the most sincere and authentic 173 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: way ever on the faces of everyone that was able 174 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,080 Speaker 1: to watch us. 175 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 3: I don't care who you are, just getting. 176 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 1: To watch it and to see Elon's face and in 177 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: your face and President Trump's face and others that were 178 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: around you. 179 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 3: Guys. 180 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: I saw Haggarty there, for example. It was just the 181 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: moment of like, this is unbelievable. 182 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: Well, and it was traveling, so the starship itself traveled 183 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: halfway around the world, the booster separated. We saw the 184 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,200 Speaker 2: booster separate, and initially the plan was that it was 185 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 2: going to go down and because by the robot arms 186 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 2: where it had been launched, and in fact it separates. 187 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 2: So the booster was attached to the starship for a 188 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: minute and a half and then it separated. And we 189 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 2: initially got the call catches a go, which we were 190 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 2: excited about because they only try to catch it if 191 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 2: all the conditions are right, and so they were going 192 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 2: to catch the booster, and then they ended up altering 193 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: the plan and not doing the catch, but having it 194 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: instead land in the Gulf of Mexico, and so the 195 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: conditions were slightly off and so they had it landed 196 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 2: the gulf. But Elon was really happy because it landed 197 00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 2: in the golf but it did not explode. And last 198 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: time when it landed the golf, it did explode. And 199 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 2: so look, they're testing different things to see what happens. 200 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 2: And it was interesting. It floats in the water and 201 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 2: I was asking Elon why does it float? He says, well, look, 202 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 2: once once the liquid methane and liquid oxygen is out, 203 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: he said, it has the density essentially of an empty 204 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: beer can, and so just like you throw an empty 205 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 2: beer can on the water and it floats, that's the 206 00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: same thing as the booster. And so they're going and 207 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 2: salvaging the booster and discovering, okay, what happened, what's going 208 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 2: on there? So that landed pretty quickly. The starship traveled 209 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: for about an hour and it landed, I think. 210 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: About going side after. How long were you outside? And 211 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: then where did you get to watch the second part? 212 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: So we were outside. 213 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: We arrived probably an hour before the launch, and so 214 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:26,959 Speaker 2: we were talking with Elon and we were in the 215 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: control room and just having conversations, and we watched lunch, 216 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 2: and we watched the booster separate, and then we watched 217 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 2: the booster come down, although we couldn't see the booster 218 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 2: landed far enough out in the gulf that we couldn't 219 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: see with our naked eye the booster landing in the water, 220 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 2: but we had the video on a big screen, so 221 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 2: we were watching it there. And then what we did, 222 00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: because you had about an hour while the starship was 223 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 2: traveling in space and it was going about twenty six 224 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 2: thousand kilometers an hour, it was about one hundred and 225 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: sixty kilometers above planet Earth. One of the things Elon 226 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: said is that the Starship was traveling about ten times 227 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 2: the speed of a bullet out of an assault rifle, 228 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 2: which there's an analogy you can understand, Ben and as 229 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 2: find out, Junior was laughing, going, all right, that makes 230 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 2: sense to me too. 231 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:16,560 Speaker 3: But that's fast. 232 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's fast on a whole nother level. And so 233 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: you got to watch all of this take place. How 234 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: important is this just this technology and the fact that 235 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: it's being done in Texas, because that is the reason 236 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,440 Speaker 1: why you were on that plane. That's why they asked 237 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 1: you to go down there, because this is in Texas. 238 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 1: I don't think people realize what this is doing for 239 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 1: the Texas economy as well. 240 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 3: So it is incredible. 241 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 2: And while the Starship was flying halfway around the world, 242 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 2: we left the launch observation site. We went to the factory, 243 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,319 Speaker 2: which is right at the launch site now the factory. 244 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 2: So five years ago this was essentially an empty beach, 245 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 2: just sand and nothing was on it. 246 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 3: And in five years Elon has built. 247 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,559 Speaker 2: This incredible and I've been to it before, I've toured 248 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 2: it before, but but it is it takes your breath away. 249 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: They are manufacturing about one rocket ship a month. And 250 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 2: then these things are massive. So you go into the 251 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 2: factory and and there I think it was twenty two 252 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 2: stories high. 253 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 3: As how tall the booster is. 254 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 2: I mean, it just goes up and up and up 255 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 2: and up, and it's it's huge. And and you know, 256 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: we went in and saw and they are manufacturing them 257 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: to a level of precision down to the tenth of 258 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: a millimeter. I mean, you think about this, It's not 259 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 2: like it's not like SpaceX is making just widgets. I mean, 260 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: if a screw is wrong, the damn think can blow up. 261 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 2: There's so many ways for something to go wrong. And 262 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 2: and they have a level of precision that is just astonishing. 263 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 2: And so we went in and and and saw and toured. 264 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 2: And one of things Elon said is is, look, they're 265 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: doing launch after launch after launch and everyone they're improving 266 00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: the technology and they're trying different things. 267 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: So one of the things they did on. 268 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: This one is they're testing different angles of re entry 269 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 2: to see, Okay, if you angle the starship at a 270 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: slightly different angle, is there more heat, is there less heat? 271 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: What what happens? You know, what what's the optimum angle? 272 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: So they're trying all sorts of different things. So we 273 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: toured those facilities. By the way, they like basically built 274 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: a whole town. They built housing for the employees. One 275 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 2: of the things Elon said that, you know, is a 276 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 2: challenge when you're recruiting the best engineers and rocket scientists 277 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 2: and they're literally rocket scientists, is he said, you've got 278 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 2: to find a place that that there significant others want 279 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: to live. And so they basically built a whole community 280 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: with like houses all around there. And like, I didn't 281 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 2: go this time, but I've been previously. They have like 282 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 2: a little tiki bar that's sort of a club that 283 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 2: the employees can go hang out and the you know, 284 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 2: he said, look, you gotta you have to create. 285 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: An environment that that that that that. 286 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: Both your your incredibly skilled employees and their significant. 287 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: Others want to be in. 288 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 2: And and one thing, you know, but not every every 289 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 2: Verdict listener may know, Look, Brownsville has historically been faced 290 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: very significant economic challenges and and so to have this 291 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: incredible high tech billions and billions of dollars invested in 292 00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 2: Brownsville and in deep South Texas in the Rial Rand 293 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 2: Valley was really significant. By the way, when we took 294 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 2: the motorcade from where Trump Force one landed to the 295 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: launch site. The entire road side of driving along that 296 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: there were thousands of people waving signs, waving American flags, cheering. 297 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 2: And one of the most significant aspects of this election 298 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 2: in Texas is is that both Donald Trump and I, 299 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: both of us one Hispanics in the state of Texas. 300 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: I won Hispanics by six point statewide. That's unprecedented. And 301 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: the Rio Grande Valley, South Texas has been bright blue 302 00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 2: for one hundred years. It has been just an absolute 303 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:21,439 Speaker 2: bastion of the Democrat Party. And this election, South Texas 304 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 2: flipped red. I mean, the Star County had a fifty 305 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 2: point move. It's the most Hispanic county in America and 306 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 2: it had a massive move. 307 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:32,880 Speaker 3: Trump won it. 308 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: The move in South Texas, I think is generational and transformational, 309 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: and you could just see it as people were cheering 310 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 2: and thrilled the President was there. 311 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 3: That was a very cool aspect of it as well. 312 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 1: All right, final question on this trip, So you get 313 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: done with all this excitement and then this is still 314 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: kind of awesome. You get back on Trump Force one 315 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,680 Speaker 1: and you fly back to Florida. What was the conversation 316 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: like on the way home again. 317 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,919 Speaker 2: It was relaxed. We're having fun, We're talking. You know, 318 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: we had had Fox on and so we're watching Jesse Waters, 319 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,879 Speaker 2: lor Ingram and Hannity. We're talking about all that and 320 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: just sort of riffing back and forth. You know. As 321 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 2: we were landing, Trump began playing music. And so when 322 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 2: he stand at mar Lago, Trump likes to basically be 323 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:23,439 Speaker 2: the DJ, and he has an iPad there that he 324 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 2: controls the music at mar Lago, and they'll sit there 325 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: at the table and just play the songs he wants 326 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: to listen to. And so as we were landing in 327 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: Palm Beach, he put on guns N' Roses, the music 328 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 2: video that he loves from guns N' Roses, and then 329 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 2: he put on another music video from Pavroti, which would 330 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: you want to talk about some breadth in music taste? 331 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: That That's what we were listening to as we went 332 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 2: wheels down back in Florida. 333 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: Now, did you eat any McDonald's, because there's a lot 334 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: of pictures that get taken on Trump for one eat McDonald's, 335 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: We did not. 336 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:58,879 Speaker 2: Our dinner instead was Waterburger because we were in Texas. 337 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 3: Damage I love it. 338 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 1: See I set you up perfect for that answer. So 339 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: in the answer to that, did you I know, but 340 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: I set you up there perfectly. So what did he 341 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 1: say about whatburger compared to McDonald's. Was it a no 342 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: brainer for him? 343 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 3: He was like, this is a really good Hamburger. Wow, 344 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: this is really great. I mean he was I would 345 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 3: say he was a fan as before. 346 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation 347 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: on this topic, you can go back and down the 348 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing. 349 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: I want to get back to the big story number 350 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: three of the week you may have missed. All right, 351 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: I want to ask you lastly about big news that happened, 352 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,359 Speaker 1: and this is much more of a serious topic. Trump 353 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 1: team is declaring victory after the Manhattan prosecutors push for 354 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,600 Speaker 1: a four year freeze on sentencing Donald Trump in his 355 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: business records case. I've never heard of this before in 356 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 1: my life. Maybe this is something that's normal. And Alvin 357 00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: Bragg is upset. He's like, no, no, I still want 358 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: to go after dumb Trump. You gotta delay it. We'll 359 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 1: delay it. But I want him. I still want him. 360 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 1: I still believe I'm right. I still want to put 361 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: him in jail. 362 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 2: Well, President Trump has filed a motion to dismiss his 363 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: criminal conviction, and the Manhattan prosecutor, instead of agreeing to that, 364 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: has suggested to the judge, no, no, no, don't dismiss it. 365 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: Just put it on hold for four years, just freeze it. 366 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: Don't sentence him, just leave the conviction hanging out there. 367 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: And I got to say, look, unprecedented doesn't begin to 368 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 2: describe it. It is an absolute abuse of power. And look, 369 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 2: you got to understand, Alvin Bragg is an elected Democrat 370 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 2: in Manhattan. 371 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 3: In Manhattan, you've. 372 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 2: Still got an overwhelming majority of Democrats, many of whom 373 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 2: hate Donald Trump's guts, and so for Alvin Bragg, even 374 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 2: though politically nationally the persecution and lawfare of Donald Trump, 375 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: I think actually played a significant factor in his winning. 376 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: And that was the point I made to him on the. 377 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: Play, is that I said, we talked quite a bit 378 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 2: about all the cases and everything he's endured, and I said, look, ironically, 379 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 2: the more they went after you, the more I think 380 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 2: it helped you. And if it had been just one indictment, 381 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 2: it might have been more harmful, but there were so 382 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: many that it became obvious to anyone that this was 383 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 2: just a persecution. This was a political witch hunk. This 384 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 2: was a partisan effort to go after someone because they 385 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 2: were terrified that what would happen. 386 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 3: Is what, in fact did. 387 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: Happen, that the American people would vote to re elect him, 388 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 2: And I think, as I said, it ended up boosting 389 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 2: him significantly in the polls well. Even though it I 390 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 2: think was harmful to Democrats nationally in Manhattan, I suspect 391 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 2: it's quite helpful to Alvin Brad because there are a 392 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: lot of partisans who hate Trump. And I got to say, 393 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 2: I am very hopeful you know that. 394 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 3: This will be thrown out. 395 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 2: The judge Juan Marchan as Devin's, I think a lot 396 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 2: of bias. He is a partisan Democrat as well. It'll 397 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 2: be interesting to see what he does, because I think 398 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: if he agrees with the prosecutor, if he says, okay, 399 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 2: we're going to just put this on ice for four years, 400 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,080 Speaker 2: I think that will prompt an appeal. It will probably 401 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 2: prompt what's called a Ritaman damus to an appellate court 402 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 2: to order either the case dismissed or to order him 403 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 2: to rule. Because what Alvin Bragg wants to do is 404 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 2: he wants to run for reelection saying I prosecuted Donald Trump, 405 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 2: I got a conviction of Donald Trump and to use it. 406 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 2: Number one for his political advantage. Number two, he wants 407 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,119 Speaker 2: to avoid a repellate reversal, so he wants four years 408 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 2: of the appellate courts not not examining the many and 409 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 2: the rampant legal errors in his rulings. But number three, 410 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 2: he wants to use this to threaten the president, to 411 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 2: have it hang over. And this guy enough of a 412 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 2: zealoth that. I mean, he's literally talking about okay, four 413 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 2: plus years from now, when he's done with being president's 414 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,239 Speaker 2: eighty two years old. Alvin Bragg wants to put him 415 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: in jail like it just to be there to threaten 416 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 2: the president every day. And by the way, number four, 417 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 2: he wants CNN and MSNBC and all of the corporate 418 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 2: media to refer to him as a convicted felon over 419 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 2: and over and over again. 420 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 3: And if the case is. 421 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 2: Thrown out, that becomes a lot more problematic. I do 422 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 2: not believe Alvin Bragg will succeed in this either. The 423 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 2: trial judge will say, look, this is not tenable. You 424 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: can't you can't have a jury verdict and then just 425 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,160 Speaker 2: free sentencing for four years or if not, I think 426 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 2: we will see an appellate court step in and say 427 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: that this is inconsistent with New York law and it 428 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 2: is inconsistent with the Constitution. 429 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 3: I'm very hopeful that's. 430 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 1: What will happen, Senator. Finally, I want to hit something else. 431 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: That is I have to admit I am enjoying this 432 00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,360 Speaker 1: watching the liberal media meltdown. The View had an all 433 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 1: time melt down about Donald Trump's win. Joy Mayhar on 434 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 1: The View said this to the audience, take a listen, 435 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: I do. 436 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: You know what's in the air? Whoopy, what's sump? Is? 437 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 3: We lost the election? When at it we lost the election. 438 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,960 Speaker 3: We're miserable. Half of this country is miserable. And let's 439 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 3: just tell the truth. We hate that he won. 440 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: We hate everybody. I mean, I know we're all like Nazis, 441 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: and I know that we're all deplorables, and I know 442 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 1: that we're all floating garbage. But you would think they 443 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: would have learned from losing an election, and clearly they're not. 444 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 2: Look, I got to say, if Joy Behar is crying 445 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 2: on TV and is miserable and is unhappy. That's a 446 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: good day for America because her radical and extreme ideas 447 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 2: that they're hurting the country. And you know, that may 448 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 2: be the most honest thing she's ever said on the 449 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,639 Speaker 2: view because she is as a hard leftist and and 450 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 2: and notice she's learned nothing, She's listened to nothing. There's 451 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: no part nobody on that show has stopped to say, wait, 452 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,479 Speaker 2: why did the American people overwhelmingly reject our disastrous policy agenda. 453 00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: They're not asking that. They're just mad at at at 454 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 2: what they views as the idiot voters. And listen, that's 455 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 2: an arrogance that we see in elected democrats. It's an 456 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: arrogance we see throughout the corporate media. Uh and and 457 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 2: I think it's going to it's going to fuel their 458 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 2: their doubling down and getting, if anything, even more extreme. 459 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 1: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Center, 460 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal 461 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: with my podcast, and you can listen to my podcast 462 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: every other day you're not listening to Verdict or each 463 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: day when you listen to Verdict.
