00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.620 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.300 Welcome.
00:00:06.000 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.
00:00:08.020 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.620 And Senator, there are going to be many people that are going to listen to this show,
00:00:12.900 and they're going to be enraged that they haven't already seen the news.
00:00:16.600 That the mastermind behind 9-11 is going to have his life spared
00:00:22.260 in a deal that he made with the United States government.
00:00:27.300 Well, this week has been a very, very good week. 0.96
00:00:29.540 If you happen to be a terrorist, if you happen to be someone who wants to murder Americans,
00:00:34.080 this has been a phenomenal week, because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just gave a gift
00:00:38.560 to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
00:00:40.460 They agreed to take the death penalty off the table and spare his life.
00:00:44.120 It's an absolute outrage.
00:00:45.940 It's an insult to the families of all of those who were murdered on 9-11.
00:00:50.640 And it sadly is something we predicted a year ago,
00:00:55.680 that this is what Biden and Harris were going to do.
00:00:58.260 They did exactly that.
00:00:59.680 Also, this very same week, two illegal aliens from Jordan who tried to breach the Quantico base
00:01:07.000 were allowed to walk free.
00:01:09.140 They were allowed to post bail, and they just walked free.
00:01:12.480 Again, a very good week if you happen to be a terrorist.
00:01:15.840 Not a good week if you want to keep Americans safe.
00:01:18.480 We're going to talk about all that.
00:01:19.780 Yeah, it's a lot.
00:01:20.640 It's an important episode.
00:01:21.720 I also want to just say thank you to so many listeners.
00:01:25.680 You guys have rallied for the people in Israel.
00:01:29.320 And just a couple nights ago, I was having dinner with the incredible team from IFCJ.
00:01:34.980 Now, if you don't know the work that they're doing, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews,
00:01:41.020 that's why I want you to take a moment and to see what they're doing and get involved.
00:01:46.300 Since the war has broken out and the constant attacks have been happening against the Israeli people,
00:01:53.560 IFCJ has been on the ground, and because of your donations,
00:01:57.780 they've been able to help people in need and save lives,
00:02:00.580 whether it is giving literal bulletproof vests, putting in bomb shelters,
00:02:06.200 helping with the needs of those that have already been attacked,
00:02:11.920 and also providing armed ambulances that have been able to evacuate people,
00:02:17.060 including on the day of October the 7th, because they were bulletproof,
00:02:21.840 and they were able to save lives.
00:02:24.580 When I sat down with several of the people that come over from Israel for the first time
00:02:29.500 since the attack on October the 7th to hear the stories,
00:02:32.700 it breaks your heart, but it also makes you so thankful that there are listeners out there like you guys
00:02:38.720 that are supporting and standing with the people in Israel that need so many things,
00:02:44.600 basic things, whether it is food and water after bombing happens in their city,
00:02:50.900 in their town, in their neighborhood,
00:02:52.680 or it is the bomb shelters that they're putting in and placing,
00:02:56.840 or the armor that is given to the first responders.
00:03:01.640 The work that you are doing is unbelievable, so thank you.
00:03:05.140 Now, if you've not gotten involved with IFCJ,
00:03:08.300 here is your opportunity to stand with the people of Israel and make a real difference.
00:03:12.560 Whether it's armored security trucks,
00:03:14.960 whether it is stopping bullets from terrorists who are firing at the people
00:03:20.560 that are trying to save the lives of those who have already been wounded,
00:03:23.240 this is the work they're doing.
00:03:24.920 I want you to hear more about the stories and what is happening.
00:03:28.600 Just go to supportifcj.org.
00:03:31.640 That is supportifcj.org.
00:03:35.660 You'll hear these stories.
00:03:37.720 You'll be able to show your support for Israel as well.
00:03:40.760 They need our help right now, and you can get involved.
00:03:45.260 Supportifcj.org.
00:03:47.760 Senator, let's just talk about a year ago.
00:03:51.900 Almost to the day, you and I did this show warning
00:03:56.360 after letters went to family members of the victims of 9-11
00:04:00.920 that there was a possibility of a plea deal with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
00:04:05.140 the mastermind of 9-11,
00:04:06.440 that his life would be spared if he just said,
00:04:11.100 okay, fine, I'll plead guilty to the charges.
00:04:14.020 Now, to be clear about who Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is,
00:04:17.100 he's not just the mastermind of 9-11.
00:04:22.040 This is a guy that has confessed to at least 31 horrific and barbaric attacks,
00:04:28.640 including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
00:04:31.620 On top of that, he was the guy that was there with the beheading
00:04:36.840 of the Wall Street Journal reporter, Daniel Pearl.
00:04:39.720 He was the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings,
00:04:44.720 and he was a man that was in charge with a plan to blow up the Panama Canal.
00:04:51.780 He had active plans to assassinate Jimmy Carter,
00:04:55.460 and a plot to blow up suspension bridges in New York City.
00:04:59.360 Now, these are just some of the things that he was working on. 0.98
00:05:03.800 He clearly knew how to kill people. 0.99
00:05:05.880 He killed women, children. 0.97
00:05:08.060 He killed police officers, firemen, first responders,
00:05:11.700 and he was also accountable for killing American troops overseas after 9-11.
00:05:18.660 And this administration just spared his life.
00:05:21.980 Why would they make this deal except for the fact they say,
00:05:25.160 we just want to close down Gitmo?
00:05:27.160 Well, sadly, that's exactly it.
00:05:29.140 It's all politics all the time.
00:05:30.740 And a year ago, last August, we devoted an entire podcast
00:05:34.680 to focusing on the very real risk that this was going to happen,
00:05:37.880 that the Biden-Harris White House, this is what they wanted to have happen.
00:05:42.440 And they announced just this week that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
00:05:46.260 they've cut a plea deal with him and two other co-conspirators,
00:05:49.500 Waleed Mohammed Salih Mubarak bin Atash, boy, that's a mouthful, 0.88
00:05:56.040 and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al-Hasawi,
00:06:01.080 both of whom, along with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed,
00:06:05.280 have been in Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
00:06:08.620 And understand, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
00:06:12.320 and by that I mean really the left-wing radicals that surround them,
00:06:15.700 because I don't know that Joe Biden wants anything other than just to have his Jell-O at 4 p.m.
00:06:20.020 But the radicals that run this White House
00:06:23.060 and that are now trying to have a coronation for Kamala Harris, 0.99
00:06:26.960 they came in with the objective,
00:06:29.040 they hate Gitmo, they want to shut it down,
00:06:31.180 they hate that it exists.
00:06:32.420 And in order to shut it down,
00:06:35.420 this was the deal they wanted to cut.
00:06:38.580 And understand, look, 9-11,
00:06:42.220 a lot of our listeners are young enough that you weren't alive on September 11th.
00:06:47.720 What happened on September 11th, 2001,
00:06:52.040 2,976 people were murdered.
00:06:56.580 It remains the most horrific terrorist attack in the history of our country.
00:07:01.680 And Khalid Sheikh Mohammed planned it
00:07:03.540 and directed those executing it.
00:07:08.440 And for this administration to say,
00:07:11.680 the death penalty is no longer a possibility,
00:07:14.820 we're going to agree
00:07:16.420 that you can go,
00:07:19.300 you can leave Gitmo,
00:07:20.600 you can go to an American prison, 0.56
00:07:23.060 and you will not face capital punishment.
00:07:26.860 Well, let me quote
00:07:28.600 retired police officer Jim Smith.
00:07:33.240 He is the husband of Moira Smith,
00:07:35.120 who was the only female NYPD officer
00:07:38.240 who died on September 11th.
00:07:40.200 He said when he heard this news, 0.99
00:07:42.080 he felt like he'd been kicked in the balls. 0.99
00:07:45.360 And here's his quote. 0.96
00:07:46.800 The prosecution and families have waited 23 years
00:07:49.800 to have our day in court
00:07:51.500 to put on the record
00:07:52.480 what these animals did to our loved ones.
00:07:54.980 They took that opportunity away from us.
00:07:58.940 They committed the worst crime
00:08:00.900 in the history of our country.
00:08:02.560 They should receive the highest penalty.
00:08:05.960 Or here's another quote.
00:08:07.280 This is from retired cop Kathy Vigiano,
00:08:10.220 who's the wife of NYPD detective Joseph Vigiano,
00:08:13.280 who was also killed on September 11th.
00:08:15.460 Here's what she said.
00:08:16.620 Quote,
00:08:16.860 I'm angry and disappointed
00:08:19.500 that enemy combatants
00:08:21.480 who killed thousands of Americans
00:08:23.100 in our homeland
00:08:24.040 are now able to exploit
00:08:26.640 the U.S. judicial system
00:08:28.080 to their benefit,
00:08:30.200 receiving support from American taxpayers
00:08:32.800 for shelter, food, and health care
00:08:35.520 for the rest of their lives.
00:08:37.600 You know, you get your head around this,
00:08:39.860 and it's all about a feather in the cap,
00:08:44.200 and that's how they look at it at the White House.
00:08:46.000 They were obsessed with getting us out of Afghanistan 1.00
00:08:49.620 on the anniversary of 9-11.
00:08:51.360 It cost Americans lives at the airport
00:08:54.880 and countless people, operators,
00:08:57.060 that risked their lives to save American lives,
00:09:00.400 translators, and others
00:09:01.520 who were beheaded and tortured and killed
00:09:03.480 after we left so abruptly,
00:09:06.400 and there were kill lists
00:09:07.480 that were clearly put out for them.
00:09:09.040 They wanted to close quickly,
00:09:12.080 not because it was the safest way to do it,
00:09:14.780 to draw down in Afghanistan,
00:09:16.560 but because it was a political moment
00:09:19.040 that they wanted to say
00:09:20.080 on the anniversary of 9-11,
00:09:21.740 I ended America's longest war.
00:09:23.980 That was the goal for Joe Biden.
00:09:25.740 That's what he did.
00:09:26.580 And they've been obsessed
00:09:27.780 with closing Guantanamo Bay.
00:09:29.400 And phase one of getting this deal done
00:09:31.780 was the obsession with the left
00:09:33.760 that, oh, we waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
00:09:36.320 Yeah, the guy knew about a lot of plans
00:09:38.680 and a lot of terrorist attacks,
00:09:40.020 and he knew where we assumed Osama bin Laden
00:09:42.140 and other terrorists were.
00:09:43.660 And they said, well, you should feel sorry for him.
00:09:45.320 That should have never happened.
00:09:46.200 He should get a plea deal.
00:09:47.580 And then they just said,
00:09:48.480 we're just going to run out the clock here.
00:09:50.160 And then we gave him lawyers,
00:09:51.520 and we paid incredible amounts of money
00:09:53.180 for his legal defense team with our tax dollars.
00:09:56.020 And then we gave him incredible medical care
00:09:58.120 and all sorts of other benefits.
00:09:59.900 And now we're going to, as you mentioned,
00:10:01.300 keep him alive for the rest of his life.
00:10:02.640 But I go back to the victims here,
00:10:04.380 and this is what pisses me off. 0.56
00:10:06.820 There are tens of thousands of family members 0.99
00:10:10.740 that get a damn letter in the mail. 0.99
00:10:12.920 Yep, form letter. 1.00
00:10:14.700 A form letter that just says,
00:10:16.500 hey, the guy that killed your family,
00:10:18.560 I'm sorry your dad or your mom or your grandmother 0.99
00:10:20.720 or your son or your daughter had to choose
00:10:22.660 between burning to death in the Twin Towers
00:10:24.640 or jumping out the window.
00:10:27.460 The guy who planned that is going to live now
00:10:30.500 because we want to just move this off the books
00:10:33.400 and we want to close down Gitmo
00:10:34.860 for another moment like we had in Afghanistan
00:10:38.100 that, by the way, turned out to be a disaster. 0.99
00:10:39.900 And they get a damn form letter. 0.99
00:10:42.620 Well, listen, you're right 0.99
00:10:44.460 that this White House,
00:10:46.880 Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
00:10:48.300 what characterizes every decision they make
00:10:51.540 is they put politics first.
00:10:53.260 They put their radical partisan agenda
00:10:55.740 above the interest of Americans.
00:10:58.440 Why do we have open borders?
00:10:59.740 We have open borders
00:11:00.560 because they want to stay in power
00:11:01.820 because they wanted to let
00:11:02.980 11 and a half million illegal aliens in
00:11:04.980 because they think they'll vote for Democrats
00:11:06.540 either now, some illegally now,
00:11:08.560 and the others in the future
00:11:09.840 when they grant them amnesty
00:11:10.880 and give them voting rights.
00:11:12.020 So if in the meantime people have to die,
00:11:15.340 that's a perfectly acceptable risk
00:11:16.920 from their perspective.
00:11:18.240 Why did we pull out of Afghanistan
00:11:19.900 so incompetently in a way that resulted
00:11:22.000 in 13 servicemen and women being murdered?
00:11:24.400 Because as you just said,
00:11:25.600 they wanted to announce
00:11:26.840 we were out of Afghanistan
00:11:28.720 on the anniversary of 9-11.
00:11:30.440 It's all about the political announcement.
00:11:33.000 And here, this was about appeasing the leftists
00:11:36.900 who hate the fact that Guantanamo exists at all.
00:11:41.560 Look, the Police Benevolent Association president,
00:11:45.580 Patrick Hendry,
00:11:47.080 says he was inundated with calls
00:11:49.180 from officers' families
00:11:50.340 after he learned of the plea deal,
00:11:52.500 and he said it was, quote,
00:11:53.500 quote, heartbreaking and infuriating.
00:11:56.100 And here's what he said, quote,
00:11:57.380 their loved one's sacrifice
00:11:59.480 is being disrespected,
00:12:01.300 and they are being victimized all over again.
00:12:05.100 These individuals masterminded
00:12:07.080 an attack on our nation
00:12:08.440 that not only claimed 2,977 lives that day,
00:12:13.240 but thousands more in the years since.
00:12:17.540 Their crime merits the ultimate punishment.
00:12:20.240 There should be no plea
00:12:22.620 and absolutely no leniency.
00:12:26.680 And I'll tell you what,
00:12:27.280 the firefighters feel the same way.
00:12:28.860 The Uniformed Firefighters Association
00:12:31.520 president, Andrew Ansbro,
00:12:33.840 said that FDNY's thousands of firefighters
00:12:40.000 feel, quote,
00:12:41.260 betrayed and disgusted.
00:12:43.560 And here's what he said, quote,
00:12:44.640 343 New York City firefighters
00:12:48.540 died on that day,
00:12:50.660 and hundreds have died since then.
00:12:54.560 We're still losing three firefighters a month
00:12:57.900 to the effects of 9-11 Ground Zero.
00:13:01.520 We feel betrayed and disgusted
00:13:05.000 that they will not face
00:13:06.760 the ultimate justice of the death penalty,
00:13:08.820 that these terrorists were offered a plea deal
00:13:11.660 which will allow them to live in their old age
00:13:14.740 with contact with their families.
00:13:18.160 I pause because I'm angry.
00:13:21.400 And if you know anybody that's lost a loved one,
00:13:24.480 whether it's on 9-11,
00:13:25.380 and you and I have friends
00:13:26.320 that lost loved ones on 9-11,
00:13:28.560 but we also...
00:13:30.040 And Heidi and I lost a very good friend.
00:13:32.460 We were very good friends with Barbara Olson.
00:13:35.700 She was married to Ted Olson,
00:13:36.980 who was the Solicitor General of the United States
00:13:39.400 under George W. Bush.
00:13:41.580 We had been with Barbara
00:13:43.000 not many weeks before 9-11,
00:13:46.600 and she was on the plane
00:13:48.160 that crashed into the Pentagon.
00:13:50.480 She lost her life on that day.
00:13:53.320 I had dinner tonight with...
00:13:56.780 I mean, as you know,
00:13:57.740 I'm in Pinehurst,
00:13:59.080 which is right next to Fort Bragg,
00:14:00.500 or they renamed it being PC Fort Freedom
00:14:02.920 or whatever they call it now,
00:14:05.040 with a couple of different guys
00:14:07.020 that signed up after 9-11.
00:14:09.420 They're still in.
00:14:10.680 And we were having dinner,
00:14:12.700 and this subject came up.
00:14:14.680 And it was sad to see their demeanor change
00:14:18.040 because they are enraged.
00:14:21.660 Yeah.
00:14:22.600 Because their friends died.
00:14:25.260 Yes.
00:14:25.580 They lost their friends fighting these terrorists.
00:14:29.400 Their friends were killed by people
00:14:31.640 that were being trained and recruited
00:14:34.400 by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
00:14:35.760 One of the things that was brought up
00:14:36.980 tonight at dinner
00:14:37.680 that made them so mad
00:14:39.900 was they said,
00:14:40.500 what people forget is
00:14:42.660 Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
00:14:43.720 was not just the master on 9-11.
00:14:46.900 He was the master of the propaganda
00:14:48.880 to recruit radicals into Al-Qaeda.
00:14:52.340 And those radicals were the ones
00:14:54.020 on the battlefield
00:14:54.700 that were killing American soldiers.
00:14:56.920 So it's not just the people
00:14:59.540 that died on 9-11.
00:15:00.600 There were countless others
00:15:04.140 that signed up to fight the terrorists
00:15:06.000 after 9-11
00:15:07.100 that were fighting against people
00:15:09.940 that had been recruited
00:15:11.040 through propaganda and training
00:15:13.080 by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
00:15:14.340 who were then killed.
00:15:16.640 By the way,
00:15:17.040 he was never charged directly
00:15:18.420 for their murders, right?
00:15:20.380 And he said,
00:15:21.060 so to be clear now,
00:15:22.660 you sent men and women in uniform,
00:15:25.080 American men and women in uniform 1.00
00:15:26.220 to go kill these people. 1.00
00:15:27.340 You die. 1.00
00:15:28.380 And the guy who masterminded 1.00
00:15:30.240 the whole damn thing 0.98
00:15:30.980 that started it all 0.99
00:15:31.980 is now going to live
00:15:33.640 the rest of his life
00:15:34.520 until he naturally expires.
00:15:37.200 And you think Americans 0.52
00:15:38.580 are going to want to sign up
00:15:39.740 to fight for America
00:15:40.900 if this is what they know happens
00:15:42.360 after the worst terrorist attack
00:15:43.500 on American soil
00:15:44.460 in American history?
00:15:46.240 Well, and listen,
00:15:46.860 the media wants America
00:15:48.600 to forget about 9-11.
00:15:50.160 Forget about the crazed 0.99
00:15:52.800 theocratic lunatics 0.99
00:15:54.120 who sought to murder us, 1.00
00:15:56.200 who want to destroy us.
00:15:57.440 And I will say
00:15:58.660 for those of us
00:15:59.980 who are old enough
00:16:01.460 to have been alive,
00:16:03.200 every one of us
00:16:05.240 remembers exactly
00:16:06.400 where you were
00:16:07.760 that morning.
00:16:09.860 Where were you
00:16:10.620 in the morning of 9-11?
00:16:11.900 I was in my college dorm room
00:16:14.000 at Ole Miss
00:16:14.800 and my phone,
00:16:15.880 my cell phone rang
00:16:16.940 and it was a producer
00:16:18.480 at Fox News
00:16:19.780 because I was doing TV then
00:16:21.080 and he just said,
00:16:22.260 turn on your TV
00:16:22.920 and hung up.
00:16:23.580 It was the horror
00:16:25.740 all across this country,
00:16:27.940 everyone,
00:16:28.840 life just stopped.
00:16:30.360 For me,
00:16:30.820 I was in D.C.
00:16:31.800 It was the beginning
00:16:32.480 of the Bush administration.
00:16:34.540 I was working
00:16:36.900 in the Bush administration.
00:16:38.120 I was the head of policy
00:16:38.960 at the Federal Trade Commission
00:16:39.880 at the time.
00:16:41.060 And that morning,
00:16:42.140 I was walking out
00:16:42.980 of our apartment
00:16:43.620 literally at the front door
00:16:45.960 and my phone rang
00:16:46.740 and it was Heidi
00:16:47.280 and she had left
00:16:47.900 earlier that morning.
00:16:49.360 Heidi was working
00:16:49.960 at the White House
00:16:50.640 and Heidi called me
00:16:51.540 and said,
00:16:51.980 turn on the television
00:16:52.780 right now.
00:16:53.860 So I stopped,
00:16:54.740 I went back to my apartment,
00:16:55.700 turned it on
00:16:56.240 and watched
00:16:57.760 and we saw
00:16:59.180 the Twin Towers,
00:17:01.440 the World Trade Center
00:17:02.420 and we saw smoke
00:17:05.320 coming out of the top
00:17:06.340 of one of the two towers
00:17:07.460 and early on,
00:17:10.600 we didn't know
00:17:12.260 what it was.
00:17:13.120 We didn't know
00:17:13.780 if it was initially
00:17:14.680 just that the early speculation
00:17:16.520 was it was
00:17:17.380 some horrible accident,
00:17:18.720 some pilot
00:17:20.040 of a small plane
00:17:21.060 had screwed up
00:17:21.920 and crashed into a building.
00:17:23.660 It was not immediately
00:17:25.180 apparent what had happened.
00:17:27.580 And as everyone's watching
00:17:28.920 one of the towers
00:17:30.040 with smoke coming out of it,
00:17:32.120 the whole world
00:17:33.960 watched in horror
00:17:34.940 as we saw
00:17:35.800 a commercial jet,
00:17:36.980 a second commercial jet,
00:17:39.080 steer around
00:17:40.120 and crash into
00:17:41.380 the second tower.
00:17:42.720 And the instant
00:17:44.160 that happened,
00:17:45.000 everyone knew
00:17:45.840 exactly what this was.
00:17:47.360 This was not
00:17:48.020 a tragic accident.
00:17:50.040 This was a deliberate
00:17:51.360 act of murder,
00:17:52.300 a horrible act
00:17:53.220 of terrorism.
00:17:54.920 And there was
00:17:56.180 a level of confusion.
00:17:58.260 There was a level
00:17:58.880 of just horror
00:18:01.800 and disbelief.
00:18:03.240 So Heidi at the time,
00:18:04.200 as I said,
00:18:04.520 was working at the White House.
00:18:05.560 Initially,
00:18:06.080 when the first plane hit,
00:18:08.040 the Secret Service
00:18:09.040 told the folks
00:18:10.160 at the White House,
00:18:11.120 just stay where you are,
00:18:12.480 keep working.
00:18:13.580 And everyone's watching it,
00:18:15.020 but everyone's staying there.
00:18:16.640 When the second plane hit,
00:18:19.440 they ran through
00:18:21.020 the hallways
00:18:21.760 and they literally
00:18:22.440 told people,
00:18:23.640 get out now,
00:18:24.700 run,
00:18:25.240 do not walk,
00:18:26.300 run.
00:18:27.340 And so Heidi sprinted out.
00:18:30.040 Her car was parked
00:18:31.560 in an underground
00:18:32.400 parking garage,
00:18:33.200 so she couldn't get her car.
00:18:34.540 They wouldn't let her
00:18:35.300 get her car.
00:18:37.020 And so Heidi proceeded
00:18:38.080 to take off
00:18:38.720 her high heels
00:18:39.400 and walk home barefoot.
00:18:41.880 We had an apartment
00:18:42.760 in Arlington, Virginia,
00:18:46.980 actually just south
00:18:49.300 of the Pentagon.
00:18:52.100 And shortly thereafter,
00:18:54.720 so there was a lot
00:18:55.340 of confusion
00:18:55.940 about what was happening.
00:18:57.660 I'm watching TV.
00:18:59.100 I'm trying to get
00:18:59.920 in touch with Heidi,
00:19:01.340 but cell phones
00:19:01.960 were not working very well.
00:19:03.520 There was a period
00:19:04.360 where it was being reported,
00:19:05.620 I think on ABC,
00:19:06.820 that a plane
00:19:07.620 had hit the White House,
00:19:08.780 which obviously,
00:19:09.560 I'm having trouble
00:19:10.100 getting Heidi in,
00:19:11.180 so I'm very freaked out
00:19:12.820 that she's in harm's way.
00:19:14.620 She ended up
00:19:15.320 walking across
00:19:16.240 Memorial Bridge
00:19:17.340 and walking home
00:19:18.080 to our apartment,
00:19:19.300 just carrying her high heels.
00:19:21.800 And the plane
00:19:22.920 that had been reported
00:19:24.000 that had hit the White House
00:19:25.220 is actually the one
00:19:26.340 that struck the Pentagon.
00:19:29.440 And as I mentioned,
00:19:30.420 Barbara Olson,
00:19:31.100 our friend,
00:19:31.580 was on it,
00:19:32.320 and Barbara actually 0.99
00:19:33.300 picked up her cell phone
00:19:34.560 on the plane
00:19:36.200 and was able
00:19:37.200 to contact her husband,
00:19:38.440 Ted.
00:19:38.660 She got Ted on the phone.
00:19:39.700 And Ted was at the time,
00:19:41.960 he was the number three
00:19:42.680 official at the Bush
00:19:43.500 Department of Justice,
00:19:44.420 and he knew exactly
00:19:45.880 what was happening.
00:19:46.640 He knew his wife
00:19:47.620 was on that phone,
00:19:49.660 and Barbara was 1.00
00:19:50.560 a firebrand.
00:19:51.880 She was passionate,
00:19:54.040 she was a fighter,
00:19:54.900 she was conservative,
00:19:55.800 she was awesome.
00:19:57.400 And Barbara said 0.99
00:19:59.020 to Ted,
00:20:00.520 what do I do?
00:20:01.140 How do we stop them?
00:20:03.080 And that was
00:20:04.020 the last conversation
00:20:05.340 they had,
00:20:05.820 because moments later
00:20:06.480 the plane crashed
00:20:07.200 in the Pentagon.
00:20:08.380 You think about that,
00:20:10.060 and then you think about
00:20:11.300 the cover-up
00:20:12.500 of this decision,
00:20:13.760 and I think we should
00:20:14.720 talk about that
00:20:15.540 because it's important.
00:20:16.860 Yes.
00:20:17.200 The White House
00:20:18.060 is acting now
00:20:19.500 like they had nothing
00:20:20.840 to do with this.
00:20:22.420 White House press secretary
00:20:23.900 today,
00:20:25.380 Jean-Pierre,
00:20:26.080 was asked
00:20:26.820 about this moment,
00:20:28.120 and I want you to hear
00:20:29.580 just how
00:20:30.980 they're playing this.
00:20:32.560 Again,
00:20:33.040 politics,
00:20:34.140 it's a lie,
00:20:35.040 and I want us
00:20:35.940 to explain that lie,
00:20:37.120 but first,
00:20:37.740 here is what she said
00:20:38.820 when she was asked
00:20:39.620 about it.
00:20:40.460 Thank you,
00:20:41.660 Corrine.
00:20:42.080 I'm just hoping
00:20:43.100 for a response
00:20:43.940 to the 9-11 plea deal
00:20:45.960 that spared the
00:20:46.860 architects the death penalty.
00:20:48.160 The New York City
00:20:48.720 Firefighters Union
00:20:49.520 put out a statement
00:20:50.380 that said,
00:20:51.440 we are disgusted
00:20:52.300 and disappointed 0.98
00:20:53.020 that these three terrorists
00:20:54.640 were given a plea deal
00:20:55.560 and allowed to escape
00:20:56.460 the ultimate justice
00:20:57.280 while each month
00:20:58.280 three more heroes
00:20:59.240 from the FDNY
00:20:59.980 are dying
00:21:00.640 from World Trade Center
00:21:01.760 illnesses.
00:21:02.840 Does the administration
00:21:03.580 have a message for them?
00:21:05.040 Look,
00:21:05.240 our hearts go out.
00:21:06.680 I mean,
00:21:07.020 not much more
00:21:08.080 than I can add
00:21:08.800 to what you heard
00:21:09.420 from the National Security Advisor
00:21:10.820 and how I just answered
00:21:11.920 the question
00:21:12.760 to one of your colleagues,
00:21:13.980 and I'll just reiterate,
00:21:15.160 obviously,
00:21:15.660 our hearts go out
00:21:16.500 to the families
00:21:17.860 who lost a loved one.
00:21:20.100 We didn't have a role
00:21:20.960 in this.
00:21:21.920 This was not something
00:21:23.020 that we were involved in,
00:21:25.080 and so we are determined
00:21:27.400 to make sure
00:21:28.100 that they get justice,
00:21:29.720 these families get justice.
00:21:31.320 I just don't have
00:21:32.100 anything else to add
00:21:32.980 to what the National Security Advisor
00:21:34.540 just stated from here
00:21:36.000 moments ago.
00:21:37.780 Senator,
00:21:38.460 I mean,
00:21:39.360 I think you need to explain
00:21:41.280 how big of a lie this is.
00:21:43.160 Yeah, 1.00
00:21:43.360 what utter garbage, 1.00
00:21:44.740 but actually, 0.99
00:21:45.460 actually,
00:21:45.840 play the next clip,
00:21:47.380 which is the National Security Advisor,
00:21:49.820 Jake Sullivan.
00:21:50.500 So she's referencing
00:21:51.220 what he said.
00:21:52.000 Play that as well.
00:21:53.520 Switching gears
00:21:54.300 for a moment,
00:21:55.480 I want to ask you
00:21:56.900 about the e-deal
00:21:58.400 that was breached
00:21:59.540 with 9-11 suspects
00:22:01.160 by military courts
00:22:03.800 down in Guantanamo.
00:22:05.140 Republicans are condemning
00:22:06.520 this as showing weakness
00:22:08.960 and calling it
00:22:10.220 a sweetheart deal
00:22:11.600 because it avoids
00:22:12.640 trial and the death penalty.
00:22:14.720 I'm just wondering
00:22:15.340 if the administration
00:22:16.100 has any response to that.
00:22:18.100 As we said last night,
00:22:19.400 the White House
00:22:20.140 received word
00:22:21.360 that the convening authority
00:22:22.940 had entered
00:22:24.480 these pre-trial agreements
00:22:25.640 that had been negotiated
00:22:27.300 by military prosecutors
00:22:28.720 with KSM
00:22:30.040 and some of the other
00:22:30.860 9-11 defendants.
00:22:32.760 And we had no role
00:22:34.460 in that process.
00:22:35.220 The president had no role.
00:22:36.220 The vice president
00:22:36.820 had no role.
00:22:37.520 I had no role.
00:22:38.280 The White House
00:22:38.880 had no role.
00:22:39.960 And we were informed
00:22:40.800 yesterday,
00:22:41.720 the same day
00:22:42.620 that they went out publicly,
00:22:44.140 that this pre-trial agreement
00:22:46.680 had been accepted
00:22:47.960 by the convening authority.
00:22:49.840 What the president did
00:22:50.860 upon learning of that
00:22:52.080 was direct his team
00:22:53.520 to consult as appropriate
00:22:55.680 with officials and lawyers
00:22:57.420 at the Department of Defense
00:22:58.500 on this matter.
00:22:59.640 Those consultations
00:23:00.640 are ongoing
00:23:01.360 and I have nothing more
00:23:02.260 to add at this time.
00:23:04.420 Well, of course
00:23:05.240 he has nothing more to add.
00:23:06.680 Yeah, like,
00:23:07.380 give me a break.
00:23:07.420 Of course he has nothing more to add.
00:23:08.520 And by the way,
00:23:09.140 Kareem Jean-Pierre,
00:23:10.160 our hearts go out to them.
00:23:11.500 No, they don't.
00:23:12.420 You didn't give a damn
00:23:13.620 because what Jake Sullivan
00:23:15.640 doesn't admit there
00:23:17.680 is why this plea deal
00:23:19.540 was reached.
00:23:20.160 And it was reached
00:23:21.020 because Joe Biden
00:23:24.040 and Kamala Harris
00:23:25.000 insisted on closing
00:23:26.780 Guantanamo Bay.
00:23:28.480 Play what Kareem Jean-Pierre
00:23:30.180 says where she
00:23:31.300 acknowledges that.
00:23:33.300 And a follow-up
00:23:34.100 on the 9-11 plea deal
00:23:35.360 with NA.
00:23:36.500 Does the president
00:23:36.940 still plan to close
00:23:38.420 Guantanamo Bay prison
00:23:39.680 before he leaves office?
00:23:40.740 And is there a realistic
00:23:41.480 pathway to do that
00:23:42.980 in the next six months?
00:23:43.960 That's still something
00:23:44.780 that the president
00:23:45.360 wants to do
00:23:46.200 and get done.
00:23:46.900 As far as a timeline,
00:23:48.540 don't have anything
00:23:49.740 for you here,
00:23:50.560 but obviously this is
00:23:51.520 something that he wanted
00:23:52.280 to be done
00:23:53.560 under his administration.
00:23:55.780 I just don't have
00:23:56.380 anything else to read out
00:23:57.680 or preview at this time,
00:23:58.900 but it is something
00:23:59.980 that he's determined
00:24:00.680 to get done.
00:24:01.760 Well, there it is,
00:24:02.700 Senator.
00:24:03.000 They just admitted it.
00:24:03.920 Yes, we had to get
00:24:05.140 this done now.
00:24:05.960 We had nothing to do
00:24:06.620 with it other than
00:24:07.260 we said we're closing
00:24:08.040 the prison he's in,
00:24:08.860 so you got to do it.
00:24:10.320 Yeah, because Ann 0.83
00:24:11.280 has plans to do it
00:24:12.560 by January the 20th,
00:24:14.040 right?
00:24:14.300 So we're on a time frame
00:24:15.680 here.
00:24:15.960 We got to go.
00:24:16.820 There's a political
00:24:17.560 priority here.
00:24:18.600 And so, you know,
00:24:19.860 when she said,
00:24:20.620 oh, you know,
00:24:21.480 our hearts go out
00:24:22.560 to the victims' families.
00:24:24.140 Well, no, they don't.
00:24:25.600 He's determined
00:24:26.400 to get this done
00:24:27.260 because this is
00:24:28.520 a political priority
00:24:30.400 and the people
00:24:31.740 who are at risk,
00:24:33.560 apparently,
00:24:34.160 they're not the priority.
00:24:35.880 I got to ask you
00:24:36.840 a legal question
00:24:37.540 because there's a lot
00:24:38.180 of people that are
00:24:38.580 going to ask this
00:24:39.380 in their heads
00:24:40.460 and I'm going to ask you.
00:24:42.260 Donald Trump wins
00:24:43.380 re-election,
00:24:44.500 hypothetically.
00:24:45.340 He comes in.
00:24:47.160 Could he stop
00:24:47.860 the closing of Guantanamo Bay,
00:24:49.400 number one?
00:24:49.800 But before you even
00:24:50.800 answer that,
00:24:51.440 the second question is,
00:24:53.220 is it possible
00:24:54.220 at his direction
00:24:55.540 and his administration's
00:24:57.580 direction
00:24:58.000 to undo this plea deal
00:25:00.280 with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?
00:25:01.680 Or once it's done,
00:25:02.860 is this done
00:25:03.740 and it cannot be undone?
00:25:05.840 So the two questions
00:25:07.120 on the first one,
00:25:08.100 if Guantanamo
00:25:08.800 was not yet closed,
00:25:10.940 yes,
00:25:11.280 it would be possible
00:25:12.120 to stop the closing
00:25:13.220 of Guantanamo.
00:25:13.900 And understand,
00:25:14.800 we have a military base there.
00:25:16.580 That's not closing.
00:25:17.940 But at Guantanamo,
00:25:19.280 we have built
00:25:20.760 detention facilities
00:25:21.960 where we have held
00:25:23.340 terrorists from 9-11
00:25:25.880 and we held them there
00:25:28.900 in part because,
00:25:31.320 although it's under control
00:25:32.620 of the U.S. government,
00:25:34.560 it's not in U.S. territory
00:25:36.900 in the mainland
00:25:37.520 and that was part of the reason
00:25:38.900 they were held there.
00:25:40.300 If the Guantanamo
00:25:41.560 detention facility
00:25:42.340 had not already been closed,
00:25:43.880 then yes,
00:25:44.380 Trump could reverse that.
00:25:45.800 But your second question,
00:25:48.020 the answer,
00:25:48.680 unfortunately,
00:25:49.200 is no.
00:25:49.700 If the plea deal
00:25:50.380 is entered into
00:25:51.180 and it's agreed to
00:25:53.800 and a court,
00:25:55.520 they plead guilty
00:25:56.920 and a court takes
00:25:57.820 that guilty plea,
00:25:59.900 the fact that
00:26:00.960 a new president
00:26:01.600 comes in
00:26:02.240 and changes his mind
00:26:03.960 absent
00:26:05.100 extraordinary circumstances,
00:26:08.040 there's no way
00:26:08.720 to undo that.
00:26:11.000 Would there be
00:26:11.600 a possibility
00:26:12.440 of charging him
00:26:14.420 with new
00:26:15.040 or different crimes
00:26:15.980 he maybe hasn't been
00:26:16.860 charged with in the past
00:26:17.960 or would those
00:26:18.480 statute of limitations
00:26:19.320 be gone?
00:26:20.100 Because there's going
00:26:20.820 to be people
00:26:21.320 that are going to say
00:26:21.800 we want there
00:26:22.620 to be justice.
00:26:24.540 Yeah, look,
00:26:25.020 it would depend.
00:26:26.220 It depends on
00:26:26.900 what's covered
00:26:28.880 in this plea deal
00:26:29.920 and what crimes
00:26:31.840 he's pleading to.
00:26:33.080 So if you had
00:26:33.580 totally brand new crimes
00:26:35.420 that are not covered
00:26:36.540 in the plea deal,
00:26:37.280 you could potentially
00:26:38.320 charge him for that
00:26:39.140 but that would take
00:26:39.840 the evidence
00:26:40.940 to convict him
00:26:41.660 of those brand new crimes
00:26:42.780 and I don't know
00:26:44.020 if we have that evidence
00:26:44.820 or not.
00:26:45.960 Canadian women
00:26:46.720 are looking for more.
00:26:48.060 More out of themselves,
00:26:49.120 their businesses,
00:26:50.060 their elected leaders
00:26:50.820 and the world around them.
00:26:52.240 And that's why
00:26:52.680 we're thrilled
00:26:53.180 to introduce
00:26:53.840 the Honest Talk podcast.
00:26:55.960 I'm Jennifer Stewart
00:26:56.880 and I'm Catherine Clark
00:26:58.080 and in this podcast
00:26:59.160 we interview
00:26:59.980 Canada's most inspiring women.
00:27:02.100 Entrepreneurs,
00:27:02.820 artists,
00:27:03.480 athletes,
00:27:04.100 politicians
00:27:04.520 and newsmakers
00:27:05.440 all at different stages
00:27:06.720 of their journey.
00:27:07.880 So if you're looking
00:27:08.880 to connect
00:27:09.420 then we hope
00:27:10.100 you'll join us.
00:27:11.100 Listen to the
00:27:11.520 Honest Talk podcast
00:27:12.480 on iHeartRadio
00:27:13.480 or wherever you listen
00:27:14.440 to your podcasts.
00:27:16.680 If you think
00:27:17.600 that Joe Biden
00:27:18.340 cared about the victims
00:27:19.340 of 9-11
00:27:19.880 I think we've answered
00:27:20.600 that question.
00:27:21.220 The answer is obviously no.
00:27:22.980 But does he care
00:27:23.860 about your safety
00:27:25.080 and your security
00:27:26.380 from other potential
00:27:28.020 terrorist attacks?
00:27:29.220 Well,
00:27:29.460 with the southern border
00:27:30.260 wide open
00:27:30.860 I think we can answer
00:27:31.820 that question
00:27:32.660 pretty easily.
00:27:33.440 But then we get
00:27:34.780 this new shocking report
00:27:36.420 that the illegal
00:27:37.700 Jordanian migrants
00:27:39.320 who tried to breach
00:27:41.220 Quantico base
00:27:43.900 were allowed to walk free
00:27:45.980 after posting bail.
00:27:48.620 This is a national security risk
00:27:51.320 at a high level
00:27:52.500 and they're like
00:27:53.340 oh you're an illegal 0.95
00:27:54.000 oh you came in 0.98
00:27:54.880 oh you're from a part
00:27:56.080 of the world
00:27:56.380 where there's a lot of terrorists
00:27:57.120 yeah we're going to let you
00:27:57.900 walk free. 0.97
00:27:58.520 How the hell
00:27:59.420 does this happen?
00:28:01.060 Well,
00:28:01.760 and this is something
00:28:02.320 we covered on the podcast
00:28:03.960 when it happened
00:28:04.660 that two Jordanian 0.90
00:28:06.900 illegal immigrants
00:28:07.740 were arrested on May 3rd
00:28:11.580 for trespassing
00:28:13.140 onto the military installation
00:28:14.820 onto the Quantico
00:28:15.960 Marine Corps base
00:28:17.740 and they were handed over
00:28:19.540 to ICE officers
00:28:20.380 because they were
00:28:21.080 illegal aliens.
00:28:22.020 One of them was
00:28:22.660 Hassan Yusuf Hamdan
00:28:24.200 who's 32
00:28:25.560 and the other was
00:28:26.400 Mohammed Qayyar Davos
00:28:28.380 who's 28.
00:28:29.180 and they were just released
00:28:34.640 on bail
00:28:36.760 Hamdan's bail
00:28:39.320 was set at $15,000
00:28:41.980 Davos' bail
00:28:42.940 was set at $10,000
00:28:44.080 and they were released
00:28:46.500 and let go
00:28:47.660 and we'll see if we ever
00:28:48.460 see them again
00:28:49.240 but understand Quantico
00:28:51.400 so it's home
00:28:53.960 to the FBI Academy
00:28:55.080 it's home
00:28:55.880 to the FBI Laboratory
00:28:56.920 it's home
00:28:58.480 to a Defense Intelligence
00:28:59.740 Agency facility
00:29:00.840 and it's home
00:29:01.500 to several
00:29:02.720 Marine Corps commands
00:29:04.380 including the unit
00:29:05.900 that flies
00:29:07.520 the Marine One
00:29:08.520 presidential helicopter
00:29:09.820 so we don't know
00:29:11.060 why they were trying
00:29:13.500 to get onto
00:29:13.940 the Quantico base
00:29:14.740 but there are a lot
00:29:15.600 of things there
00:29:16.420 that are
00:29:19.560 serious national security
00:29:22.420 priorities
00:29:23.020 or law enforcement
00:29:24.360 priorities
00:29:24.980 and to have
00:29:25.940 illegal immigrants
00:29:26.940 from the Middle East 0.80
00:29:28.700 trying to get on
00:29:30.440 there
00:29:30.580 as one federal
00:29:31.520 law enforcement
00:29:32.140 source told
00:29:33.100 the New York Post
00:29:33.900 quote
00:29:34.320 big time intel failure
00:29:36.400 security failure
00:29:37.540 if it wasn't
00:29:39.120 an act of terrorism
00:29:40.400 why aren't the
00:29:41.600 government officials
00:29:42.340 releasing the details
00:29:43.360 of this
00:29:43.860 what was the intent
00:29:45.940 and of course
00:29:47.560 Joe Biden
00:29:49.060 and Kamala Harris
00:29:49.760 are not answering
00:29:50.380 that question
00:29:50.980 they don't believe
00:29:52.000 apparently that they
00:29:52.840 owe the American people
00:29:54.060 an answer to that
00:29:55.060 question
00:29:55.500 and let's remind
00:29:56.920 the American people
00:29:57.960 of something we played
00:29:58.900 here
00:29:59.360 these types
00:30:01.120 of
00:30:01.840 breaches
00:30:03.060 are happening
00:30:03.940 on a
00:30:04.700 shocking
00:30:05.560 regular
00:30:06.860 basis
00:30:07.800 and this was
00:30:09.420 the warning
00:30:09.980 that happened
00:30:11.120 on Fox News
00:30:12.340 from a man 0.83
00:30:13.800 wearing a uniform
00:30:14.640 saying back in May
00:30:15.980 yeah this is happening
00:30:17.020 a lot more than
00:30:17.780 anyone realizes
00:30:18.840 military bases
00:30:19.860 getting penetrated
00:30:20.720 by foreign nationals
00:30:22.060 is happening
00:30:23.300 more and more
00:30:24.040 this is something
00:30:25.460 we see probably
00:30:26.180 two or three times
00:30:26.900 a week
00:30:27.320 where we're stopping
00:30:28.200 these folks
00:30:28.640 at the gate
00:30:29.340 a week
00:30:31.240 at least
00:30:32.640 and this is just
00:30:33.280 Navy alone 0.71
00:30:34.080 where we're seeing
00:30:35.720 folks try to come in
00:30:36.620 and usually the cover
00:30:37.380 story is
00:30:38.060 and I'm a student
00:30:39.800 you know I'm here
00:30:40.580 I'm an enthusiast
00:30:41.420 I want to see the ships
00:30:42.420 that type of thing
00:30:43.200 we have to turn them
00:30:43.860 around
00:30:44.180 and typically we get
00:30:45.400 NCIS involved with those
00:30:47.000 and we get biometrics
00:30:47.920 when possible
00:30:48.560 but yes there's been
00:30:49.760 an uptick in that
00:30:50.560 do they have passports
00:30:52.260 do they have
00:30:52.940 a lot of times
00:30:53.420 they have passports
00:30:54.360 they have papers
00:30:55.060 yes
00:30:55.400 but they're in no way
00:30:57.020 shape or form
00:30:57.820 authorized to be
00:30:58.600 on our base
00:30:59.260 and it's really hard
00:31:00.640 for us to tell
00:31:01.260 the underlying motive
00:31:02.060 for these type of cases
00:31:03.080 wow that's
00:31:03.780 that's stunning
00:31:04.540 it is
00:31:05.160 it's got to be a concern
00:31:06.560 this is Russian
00:31:07.340 Chinese
00:31:07.980 this comes from
00:31:09.340 all these different nations
00:31:11.120 we're seeing an uptick
00:31:12.340 in it
00:31:12.660 in addition to that
00:31:14.140 there's been some
00:31:14.780 reporting on this
00:31:15.500 over the last six months
00:31:16.680 you're getting
00:31:17.420 two or three drones
00:31:19.000 flying over military bases
00:31:21.620 in America
00:31:22.300 per week
00:31:23.500 that is no question
00:31:24.900 happening
00:31:25.180 how do you overcome that
00:31:26.400 well you know
00:31:27.040 we are improving
00:31:28.260 our capabilities
00:31:29.060 to detect that
00:31:30.020 to defend against that
00:31:31.220 to make sure
00:31:32.160 that our folks
00:31:32.740 are trained
00:31:33.280 to actually counter that
00:31:34.540 I do this under
00:31:35.680 my authorities
00:31:36.400 from U.S. Northern Command
00:31:37.920 as the component
00:31:38.800 commander for that
00:31:39.700 and so I have
00:31:40.960 great reporting on it
00:31:42.100 and generally
00:31:42.800 in general
00:31:43.640 we believe
00:31:44.220 it's mostly
00:31:44.820 just folks with drones
00:31:46.280 that you buy them
00:31:47.100 commercially
00:31:47.540 you know
00:31:48.040 from Amazon
00:31:48.560 or whatever
00:31:49.000 the case may be
00:31:49.820 but it's hard
00:31:51.180 to differentiate
00:31:51.640 between that
00:31:52.380 and a nation state
00:31:53.140 trying to do U.S.
00:31:54.040 I mean
00:31:55.100 they're acting like
00:31:56.420 this is just normal
00:31:57.320 in the United States
00:31:57.940 of America now
00:31:58.660 like oh yeah
00:31:59.200 we got people
00:31:59.700 coming into bases
00:32:00.460 we got these terrorists
00:32:02.000 coming across
00:32:02.660 the southern border
00:32:03.400 on a regular basis
00:32:04.460 on the terrorist watch list
00:32:05.680 yeah
00:32:06.260 and notice what he said
00:32:07.500 he says many of these
00:32:08.380 are Chinese and Russians
00:32:09.580 look these are
00:32:10.640 organized incursions
00:32:12.300 organized incursions
00:32:13.960 targeting our military bases
00:32:15.440 and in the case
00:32:16.980 of these two Jordanians
00:32:18.140 what happened
00:32:19.480 so they lied
00:32:20.300 to the guards
00:32:20.860 at Quantico
00:32:21.460 they claimed
00:32:22.520 that they worked
00:32:23.260 for an Amazon
00:32:23.980 subcontractor
00:32:25.640 and they were there
00:32:26.980 to make a delivery
00:32:27.860 and the officers
00:32:30.160 determined 1.00
00:32:30.740 that they were full of crap 1.00
00:32:31.760 that that was not true 0.99
00:32:32.780 and the men
00:32:34.020 who were in a box truck
00:32:35.180 ignored the instruction
00:32:37.200 of the guards
00:32:37.780 and tried to drive
00:32:38.820 directly onto the base
00:32:39.880 before they were stopped
00:32:40.940 by anti-vehicle barriers
00:32:42.900 and so look
00:32:45.940 this is deeply concerning
00:32:50.260 behavior
00:32:50.880 and the fact that
00:32:52.680 and both of them
00:32:54.180 were here illegally
00:32:54.980 Hamdan entered
00:32:55.860 the U.S. illegally
00:32:56.840 at San Diego
00:32:59.460 he came across
00:33:00.060 the southern border
00:33:00.760 in April
00:33:01.280 but you know
00:33:02.980 what happened
00:33:03.440 they released him
00:33:04.840 quote
00:33:05.260 due to lack
00:33:06.200 of detention space
00:33:07.460 DeBoost
00:33:08.880 was also in the U.S.
00:33:10.540 illegally
00:33:10.860 because he overstayed
00:33:11.980 his student visa
00:33:12.800 and so both of them
00:33:14.960 for whatever reason
00:33:16.560 for whatever motive
00:33:17.540 they decided
00:33:20.580 they were going to try
00:33:21.460 to breach Quantico
00:33:24.000 they were issued citations
00:33:27.960 for trespassing
00:33:28.880 and told to appear
00:33:31.140 in federal court
00:33:31.860 in Alexandria
00:33:32.500 and a magistrate judge
00:33:35.320 signed off
00:33:36.000 on their release
00:33:36.680 on the condition
00:33:37.280 that they continue
00:33:37.960 to appear
00:33:38.420 at future court dates
00:33:39.560 and they must also
00:33:41.440 refrain from trespassing
00:33:42.960 on any government
00:33:43.680 property
00:33:44.200 including the Quantico
00:33:45.540 facility
00:33:46.100 like this
00:33:48.400 is truly absurd
00:33:50.120 and as I said
00:33:51.400 at the outset
00:33:51.960 this week
00:33:53.940 is a very good week 0.95
00:33:55.060 if you're a terrorist 0.88
00:33:56.080 this week 0.97
00:33:56.740 is a very good week
00:33:58.020 if you want
00:33:59.540 to threaten
00:34:00.120 the national security
00:34:01.040 of this country
00:34:01.680 it's a terrible week
00:34:02.660 if you actually care
00:34:04.100 about keeping
00:34:04.560 Americans safe
00:34:05.360 yeah
00:34:06.200 this is why
00:34:06.940 this upcoming election
00:34:08.320 is going to be
00:34:08.900 so important
