00:02:04.560 Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:02:06.740 Week in Review, Ben Ferguson with you, and here are some of the stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:02:11.760 First up, an activist DA in Philadelphia, yet again, letting criminals walk.
00:02:17.620 Why is this happening, and who's behind it?
00:02:19.940 We explain that for you.
00:02:21.120 Next up, another judge has decided to step in and say that, no, you cannot check and see if someone is an illegal immigrant before they vote.
00:02:30.060 So what was behind this Obama-appointed judge?
00:02:33.240 We break that down as well.
00:02:35.060 And lastly, two big victories for Donald Trump and the Supreme Court when dealing with illegal immigrants. 0.78
00:02:41.480 It's the Week in Review, and it starts right now. 0.85
00:02:44.300 I want to move on to another big issue.
00:02:46.660 We've got another activist DA that's been busted flat-out lying, Senator, this time in Philadelphia.
00:02:53.700 You can say thank you to the Democratic Party, to the George Soros' for allowing this to happen.
00:02:58.760 And this is a story that needs to be on your radar screen as well.
00:03:01.660 It is, and let's talk about who this is.
00:03:04.980 You know, we talked about Singman and a left-wing billionaire spending money to do real damage to America.
00:03:12.640 This is a story about another left-wing billionaire spending money to do enormous damage to America.
00:03:19.960 In this case, George Soros.
00:03:22.760 George Soros has spent billions of dollars.
00:03:25.500 He is the single most effective political giver, I think, in American history.
00:03:29.780 Now, effective is not a compliment.
00:03:32.460 He is effective in being unbelievably harmful.
00:03:36.000 There are, I believe, thousands of Americans who are dead because George Soros has spent the money so effectively.
00:03:42.380 So he's spent propaganda in support of open borders. And you look at all of the people who
00:03:47.860 have been raped and killed by illegal immigrant violent criminals, all the people that have been 1.00
00:03:52.340 subject to terror attacks from illegal immigrant violent criminals. But Soros also is creative in 0.99
00:03:59.980 his destruction. And he realized that our democratic society has vulnerabilities and
00:04:07.000 vulnerabilities that he can target. So he doesn't just target a presidential race. That's an easy,
00:04:11.680 big, sexy target. He really pioneered targeting district attorney races. Now, district attorney 0.95
00:04:18.820 races used to be sleepy little races. You'd have a Democrat and a Republican, but they both were
00:04:24.120 prosecutors. They both were going to lock up criminals. If you were a murderer, you'd lock
00:04:29.420 up the murderer, you'd prosecute them. There didn't used to be a massive difference between
00:04:35.000 the two sides on DAs. You'd have a little bit different priorities from the one to the other,
00:04:40.320 but everyone agreed violent criminals will lock him up and throw the book at him.
00:04:45.160 That changed when Soros began flooding millions into DA races. Now, these races didn't used to
00:04:52.160 have millions of dollars in them. So this money just appeared out of nowhere and he elected what
00:04:56.740 are called Soros DAs. And Soros DAs are the prosecution side of the Abolish the Police
00:05:04.080 campaign. Look, Soros funded the Abolish the Police campaign too. If you want to destroy a
00:05:09.680 society, I can think a few more effective ways to do it than eliminate law enforcement, because the
00:05:14.820 result is anarchy and chaos. It's more murders, more rapes, more children being abused. That is,
00:05:22.780 I don't like to ascribe ill intent to someone, but Ben, I will say quite seriously,
00:05:29.740 I do not know any other motivation for George Soros that makes any sense to me,
00:05:34.540 other than that he wants to destroy america because his action seems perfectly calculated
00:05:40.440 to destroy america yeah if you look at the and it's a it's very calculated it's prison reform
00:05:46.100 it's bail reform it's defund the police you do that trifecta which is saying well we're going
00:05:51.900 to let people out of jail because we just believe jail is somehow fundamentally wrong you then say
00:05:57.180 you want to defund the police so then you have no law enforcement and then you have bail reform
00:06:01.040 which says we're going to not put you in jail
00:06:03.040 while we hold you for trial
00:06:04.460 because you don't have a lot of money, 0.95
00:06:06.820 so then you're letting rapists and murderers
00:06:08.580 literally back on the street as fast as we catch them.
00:06:11.920 You combine those three,
00:06:14.100 this is a framework for total anarchy in society,
00:06:18.300 which is clearly what Soros wants.
00:06:20.880 Yeah, look, just ask yourself the simple basic question.
00:06:24.620 Is society better if there are more murderers on the street,
00:06:29.280 more murderers in your community, more murderers living in your neighborhood.
00:06:34.240 Any rational person would say, no, I don't want more murderers in my community.
00:06:40.200 Soros says yes. And he spends millions of dollars to elect DAs who agree with him. And so one of
00:06:46.200 those Soros DAs is a guy named Larry Krasner. He is the left-wing Soros DA in Philadelphia.
00:06:52.480 And instead of going in with a mission of, I'm going to go lock up the bad guys,
00:06:56.360 his mission is quite literally, I'm going to release as many bad guys as I can. Now,
00:07:01.620 now you may be saying, come on, that can't be true. That's so extreme. All right, let me just
00:07:06.740 give you the facts. So just this week, a 5-2 Democrat court. So I'm going to read you what
00:07:14.840 judges who are Democrats said about Larry Krasner. They found that he is so quick to falsely concede
00:07:22.240 error in murder cases to try to free convicted murderers that it has tasked the Pennsylvania
00:07:29.400 Attorney General with checking to make sure that the Soros DA is not lying. Now let me give you a
00:07:36.740 little context of this because legally this is astonishing. I've never seen anything remotely
00:07:40.500 like this. So a lawyer, particularly a government lawyer, has the ability to do what's called
00:07:46.880 confess error. And confessing error is you go to the court and you say, we screwed up. We made a
00:07:52.780 mistake. We made a legal mistake. We made a factual mistake. And we're confessing error. You should
00:07:57.700 take it from us. We were just wrong. And courts generally give enormous weight to that because
00:08:03.040 nobody, almost nobody ever confesses error falsely. Like confessing error is against your
00:08:09.220 interest. So if you're saying you screwed up your job, right? That's what you're saying.
00:08:14.080 So confessing error doesn't happen often, and you usually believe it because it's against the
00:08:18.720 interest of the litigant. I want to read from an appellate decision in one of these cases.
00:08:25.220 Here, in this case reviewed under a King's Bench jurisdiction, the Philadelphia District Attorney's
00:08:31.120 Office, on behalf of the Commonwealth, conceded that LeVar Brown, a convicted murderer sentenced
00:08:38.620 to death for a separate murder, was entitled to a new trial based upon a facially untimely claim
00:08:46.740 under the PCRA. Upon careful review, we conclude this concession was not reliable. More specifically,
00:08:56.340 we find the district attorney's office conceded relief, although none was warranted based on the
00:09:02.580 existing record, violated its duty of candor to the PCRA court, withheld material evidence
00:09:11.140 from the court, opposed efforts by amici to gain access to this evidence, submitted a false
00:09:19.320 stipulation of fact, misstated facts in its pleadings, failed to conduct a reasonable
00:09:26.560 investigation and opposed a required evidentiary hearing. The predictable result was an erroneous
00:09:34.980 grant of a new trial. These circumstances, troubling as they are, would not warrant a
00:09:42.500 remedy beyond reversal of the PCRA court's order in this particular case if they were confined
00:09:50.000 to one case. Unfortunately, they aren't. Since 2018, the district attorney's office has conceded
00:10:00.000 relief well over 100 times. By the way, if that's your record, that would mean that you're basically
00:10:08.120 the worst attorney in the history of the world. It's worse than that, but let me get back to it.
00:10:11.660 Let me finish reading it, and then I'm... As conceded relief well over 100 times, mostly
00:10:17.540 in murder cases like this one. Incredible. There have been numerous instances of untrustworthy
00:10:25.440 concessions, lack of candor, misrepresentations of fact, lack of adequate investigation and
00:10:33.280 avoidance of hearings. And the problems are poised to continue. There are apparently more
00:10:40.620 than 1,000 cases yet to be reviewed by the district attorney's office conviction integrity
00:10:46.840 unit, and the district attorney's office vigorously defends its checkered concession program
00:10:52.580 as a necessary corrective to pass misdeeds by prior administrations. The district attorney's
00:11:00.160 office active, ongoing, and problematic concessions program requires broader remedial
00:11:06.000 action to promote just outcomes. Accordingly, in addition to reversing the PCRA court's grant of a
00:11:13.940 new trial here. We also hold that in any PCRA case in which the district attorney's office
00:11:20.160 concedes relief, the PCRA court shall grant the office of the attorney general notice
00:11:27.700 and the right to intervene in the case before ruling on the concession.
00:11:32.440 Regardless of the attorney general's position on the concession, if it chooses to intervene,
00:11:36.980 it may well agree relief is warranted its independent assessment and participation
00:11:43.480 will enhance the reliability of the proceedings and the pcra court's ultimate decision i've never
00:11:49.800 seen that and i've practiced law a long time under so you said a hundred times that means
00:11:55.460 they're terrible lawyers it's actually worse than that this is not larry krasner saying i larry
00:12:00.960 krasner screwed up a hundred times what he's doing is he's looking at murderers who are in jail right
00:12:06.420 now that were put there by his predecessors, by previous district attorneys. And he's going and
00:12:11.960 finding murderers and saying, we should release you. We should release you. We should release you.
00:12:17.020 And then he's going in. He's not just conceding error. He's conceding relief. Relief means what
00:12:22.440 do you get? He's saying, nope, throw out your conviction altogether. Over a hundred times,
00:12:29.000 almost all with murderers, and he's lying. Look, the only reason you do that,
00:12:34.840 go back to the fundamental question that i asked at the beginning of this segment
00:12:38.740 do you think america is better off if there are more murderers walking the streets or fewer
00:12:45.340 murderers walking the streets do you want more murderers living in your neighborhood with your
00:12:49.960 family or do you want fewer murderers living in your neighborhood with your family anyone who is
00:12:55.500 rational anyone who loves america anyone who is not trying to destroy our nation the obvious answer
00:13:02.180 is of course we don't want more murderers
00:13:04.580 and yet George Soros
00:13:06.540 and Larry Krasner both do
00:13:08.040 and by the way, Singham does too.
00:13:09.820 Now if you want to hear the rest of this conversation
00:13:12.200 you can go back and listen to the full podcast

00:16:08.640 Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:16:15.880 Now on to story number two.
00:16:17.820 All right, I want to take a moment. I want to talk to you for just a second, honestly, about how an act of compassion really feels.
00:16:25.480 A few years ago, I made the choice to partner with Compassion International to sponsor a child who is in desperate need.
00:16:32.580 Now, it was a great idea, right? That's what most people say. All right, it's nice, sure.
00:16:37.540 But you really have no idea just how much that simple act can actually change a life.
00:16:43.720 And I'm not just talking about the child. I'm talking about my life.
00:16:46.820 Now, I sponsored Nadia and got to watch her life change right in front of my eyes, 1.00
00:16:51.520 going from starving alone on the street to getting the health care and education that she needs to reach her God-given potential.
00:16:59.800 I got to be a part of that change, and the light of that compassion not only illuminated her, it illuminated me.
00:17:06.800 That's the power of compassion, and it's something I'm trying to teach my children about as well.
00:17:12.360 Now, the light of Christ shines on all of us,
00:17:15.380 and you can feel this for yourself and for your children.
00:17:19.560 You can sponsor a child and have them involved.
00:17:22.240 That's what I love so much.
00:17:23.960 So not only are you changing a child's life,
00:17:26.480 you're helping change the world,
00:17:27.680 but you may even be changing yourself and your family.
00:17:30.980 You can sponsor a child today.
00:17:33.640 Visit Compassion.com.
00:17:36.420 That's Compassion.com.
00:17:39.560 I want to get to this before we run out of time. 1.00
00:17:41.800 And that is election database and this activist judge explain this this this judge what she has done here in a simplistic way. 1.00
00:17:52.680 What they were trying to do is make sure that people that were not American citizens and those are not eligible to vote would not be able to eligible to vote.
00:18:00.580 That doesn't seem controversial. The majority of Americans are in favor of the Save Act.
00:18:04.780 It's 75, 80 percent, depending on what poll you look at.
00:18:07.500 And this judge said, hey, you guys can't cross-check in different groups like Social Security, can't work with others, and you guys know we're not going to allow this to happen.
00:18:16.640 That was shocking.
00:18:18.380 Yeah, so I'm going to read from the Associated Press.
00:18:21.580 A federal judge on Monday ruled that a recently revamped version of a federal tool central to the Trump administration's effort to nationalize elections can no longer be used.
00:18:31.380 U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Suknanan.
00:18:37.120 I want you to stop and think.
00:18:38.980 There's a friggin' judge in America named Sparkle L. Suknanan. 1.00
00:18:44.940 By the way, she was a clerk for Sonia Sotomayor. 1.00
00:18:48.780 She's a radical leftist.
00:18:50.140 I voted against her confirmation. 0.98
00:18:52.140 But she is a district judge in Washington, D.C.
00:18:54.780 And Judge Sparkle sided with the advocacy groups that argue that the recent upgrades to the program
00:19:01.160 called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements or SAVE
00:19:05.980 aggregated Americans' sensitive personal data
00:19:09.340 in a way that could result in voters being wrongly purged from voter rules.
00:19:13.620 Quote,
00:19:14.500 All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled
00:19:17.460 on the privacy rights of American citizens
00:19:19.340 in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote.
00:19:23.980 Sukunen said in an order explaining the decision.
00:19:27.780 This court cannot stand idly by while that happens.
00:19:31.160 She says Congress had expressly prohibited the government from centralizing Americans' personal identifying information, and the federal agencies that created the SABE program, quote, knew that the database violates these statutory protections.
00:19:43.180 Now, this is a liberal activist decision. It is also a decision that doesn't make sense under the statute.
00:19:54.840 the statutes that she was looking at number one the statute is the social security act
00:20:02.220 and the social security act requires quote social security account numbers of record
00:20:07.820 that are obtained or maintained by persons pursuant to any provision of law
00:20:11.540 shall be confidential and no authorized person shall disclose any such social security account
00:20:17.020 number or related record well you know what trump administration didn't disclose anyone's
00:20:21.160 security number that that exactly if they released you know your social security number
00:20:27.660 that would be a violation of the social security act they didn't do that social security act doesn't
00:20:34.440 say the federal government can't look at social security numbers like the government is one
00:20:38.480 entity and it is a bizarre system that says you have records that show if people are illegal
00:20:46.180 aliens are not you the federal government are not allowed to look at those records because a law
00:20:51.620 says you can't publicly disclose them to others they didn't there's another there's another law
00:20:56.840 called the privacy act and the privacy act they claim uh it violated this as well but again the
00:21:05.380 privacy act uh does not prohibit the federal government from looking at its own records i
00:21:12.100 I mean, understand this is a ruling from a radical judge who's saying even though the federal government and initially the save database was set up to stop the federal government from giving government benefits, giving welfare to illegal aliens.
00:21:28.600 Now, mind you, it is illegal to give government benefits, to give welfare to illegal aliens.
00:21:34.020 Congress has passed that law over and over and over again.
00:21:37.840 And Democrats, when they're being completely split personality on this, they will say repeatedly, well, we don't give welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
00:21:47.280 They'll say that over and over again.
00:21:48.800 They'll simultaneously say, dear God, we've got to give welfare benefits to illegal aliens.
00:21:53.160 What a monster would deny them.
00:21:54.740 So they say them both. 0.80
00:21:56.420 Remember when every Democrat running for president in 2020 was asked, should we give free health care to every illegal in America? 0.77
00:22:01.940 And they all raised their hand. 0.81
00:22:03.580 Yep, yep, yep.
00:22:04.340 Every one of them right down the line.
00:22:06.080 but at the end of the day congress has passed repeated laws saying do not give welfare benefits
00:22:13.260 to illegal aliens and judge sparkle and and and look by the way i i think it is really impressive
00:22:20.080 that my little pony is now a federal judge uh but but i just wish my little pony was not a
00:22:26.620 not a marxist you would think that judge sparkle would would recognize something beautiful like
00:22:32.740 like the constitution or federal law it is insane to say that the same congress that says you cannot
00:22:40.920 give government benefits or welfare to illegal aliens somehow said but you're not allowed to
00:22:47.560 look to see if anyone's an illegal alien nope you're the government is blindfolded from looking
00:22:52.420 at your own databases i'm going to make another prediction in this show i was going to say this
00:22:57.560 decision will be reversed it will be when and how quickly i i don't know how quickly it might be
00:23:04.920 reversed by the dc circuit if it's not reversed by the dc circuit i think it will be reversed by
00:23:11.580 the u.s supreme court what i don't know is if it gets reversed in time for the election
00:23:16.380 part of the strategy of the litigants is delay and generally speaking
00:23:21.620 uh these decisions can take a lot of time now the department of justice
00:23:27.160 likely will seek emergency relief from the dc circuit now it will depend on what panel of
00:23:33.120 judges you get you get three random judges on the dc circuit um and then if the dc circuit
00:23:39.960 the the problem probably the biggest danger is they seek emergency relief in the dc circuit and
00:23:46.280 they get a bad draw of left-wing judges on the D.C. Circuit, and what I predict they would do then
00:23:51.760 is just try to delay it till after the election. So they just slow walk it, and it's really hard.
00:23:57.440 And that's so they can make sure that they don't have any that's implemented for election day,
00:24:00.540 so you can have more people that can vote illegally. Yes, and so if you get a good panel
00:24:07.660 on the D.C. Circuit, I am quite confident this will be reversed, and by the way, if the D.C.
00:24:13.120 circuit upholds this decision i think the supreme court would take the case and reverse it but in
00:24:19.620 the normal course of things that would take a couple of years so that would not impact the 26
00:24:24.100 election it would probably be in time for the 28 election my hope is they take an emergency appeal
00:24:29.700 and the dc circuit overturns it quickly or even if the dc circuit rejects the appeal i want them to
00:24:35.920 make a decision fast because then they could appeal that to the supremes i think the supremes
00:24:40.240 would act quickly. The danger
00:24:42.200 is the D.C. Circuit slow walks it
00:24:44.160 for another six months.

00:27:47.200 Listen to Medal of Honor on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
00:27:54.400 I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed.
00:27:58.840 All right, if you just joined us, we're talking about the Supreme Court,
00:28:01.500 and we just talked about the Second Amendment case, a big victory over Hawaii there.
00:28:05.840 But the Supreme Court also handed President Trump two major immigration victories,
00:28:11.320 and this was an exciting moment when it comes to immigration cases and victories that we needed.
00:28:15.840 Well, that's right. 6-3, the Supreme Court, there were two big wins.
00:28:19.980 One case was Mullen versus Doe, and the other case was Mullen versus Al Otro Lado,
00:28:25.240 which is Spanish for on the other side.
00:28:27.420 and in both instances it was 6-3 both instances justice alito wrote the opinion so all three of
00:28:34.320 these opinions were written by justice alito he had an incredibly strong week defending our rights
00:28:39.200 one of the cases the mullen versus al otro lado what it what it concluded is that an illegal
00:28:46.720 immigrant on the other side of the border in mexico has not entered into the united states
00:28:53.260 for purposes of immigration law. And the Biden administration had adopted a policy where they
00:29:00.100 treated illegal immigrants who weren't in the country as if they were in the country,
00:29:05.120 and that they had a right to all sorts of processes before they come into the country.
00:29:10.960 Now, remember, starting in the first Trump term, President Trump implemented what was called the
00:29:15.940 Remain in Mexico policy, which dramatically reduced illegal immigration in the first Trump term,
00:29:20.580 And that was preventing illegal immigrants from coming to this country in the first place. And this was an effort to to ignore the plain language of the of the immigration laws.
00:29:34.940 And I led an amicus brief, amicus curiae is Latin for friend of the court, and I led an amicus brief that was joined by five members of Congress supporting the Trump administration's policy of stopping immigrants, illegal immigrants, stopping them from coming into the country. 0.54
00:29:52.880 And the Supreme Court agreed with my brief, agreed with with the Trump Department of Justice, handed down that victory.
00:29:59.660 And then the other case, which which is Mullen versus Doe, the court concluded that that temporary protected status,
00:30:09.280 which which the Biden administration had awarded to hundreds of thousands of Haitians and Syrians,
00:30:15.800 that that president trump could reverse that that it wasn't a permanent grant of amnesty
00:30:23.740 that decision likewise was was hugely important for the successes i mean remember in this second
00:30:29.860 trump term we have seen illegal border crossings drop 99 that's a staggering victory and the
00:30:36.980 supreme court upheld the the president's ability to continue to continue enforcing the law
00:30:40.960 yeah it really is and and i want people just to hear shannon bernie said this on fox news channel
00:30:47.880 about this i want to take a listen here's how she described it in front of the supreme court
00:30:52.260 shin and syrian refugees who were here in the country and basically what the court has said
00:30:57.460 is that um they can't challenge this decision by the department of homeland security by the
00:31:03.080 administration that they're the ones who get to make the assessment about whether they leave or
00:31:07.100 not. I haven't read the whole thing, but they do get into some of the claims that by some of those
00:31:11.380 who are advocating for the Haitian refugees that there was some kind of racial animus. The court
00:31:16.140 says they don't see evidence of that. So I'll keep reading, but it's another very fractured
00:31:21.020 decision that seems to be a win for the Trump administration, which would be the second win for
00:31:24.920 them on immigration. That earlier decision that we talked about that came out just a few minutes
00:31:28.960 ago saying that if you get to the Mexico border, but you don't make it onto U.S. soil, you can't
00:31:33.840 file an asylum claim. So the Trump administration has to be happy about what they've gotten today.
00:31:38.760 We've still got eight opinions left, and it looks like Monday will be.
00:31:42.780 So you hear her talk about this ruling in favor of Trump. This is another example of doing the
00:31:47.580 right thing may be tough. You may go to the Supreme Court, but you're going to win in this
00:31:50.760 scenario. And by the way, both of these decisions were 6-3, which means that the liberals on the
00:31:55.780 court, they don't care what the statutory language says. They just, just like in the
00:32:01.080 second amendment case where they would effectively read the second amendment out of the bill of
00:32:04.900 rights uh when it comes to illegal immigration they would read out the ability to secure our
00:32:10.140 border uh and they would try instead embody the open border policies we saw during the
00:32:15.380 administration compare how shannon bream covered it on fox compare this to to ms now which is i
00:32:22.540 guess what they're calling msnbc now i i don't even know that anyone watches the the show but
00:32:27.280 But listen to the lefties on MSNOW losing their minds.
00:32:32.820 Yeah, total meltdown. Take a listen.
00:32:34.820 Fallon, I want your reaction to what Fallon just laid out for us there
00:32:38.500 and the concept here that the court is ignoring the history of this administration's remarks
00:32:44.280 about Haitian people in particular.
00:32:46.180 I don't think there is a single American who can say they actually forget
00:32:50.260 what we heard from the president, what we heard from Vice President Vance 0.96
00:32:54.060 about Haitian people, just some of the most disgusting and racist remarks you can 0.98
00:32:58.140 imagine. I know that you work with a number of Haitian clients. Break down for me just 0.96
00:33:04.340 how devastating all this is about to be. Very devastating. And I hope we stop talking about it
00:33:09.000 as the Trump administration won or someone won, because right now America lost. There are going
00:33:13.560 to be a lot of jobs that are open and a lot of people in home health care industries that are
00:33:17.220 not going to receive any service because their providers are going to be removed from the
00:33:20.900 United States. There are a lot of people who are going to die and suffer because of the account of
00:33:25.320 this. So I wish this court was more of a court of equity than they say they were a court of policy
00:33:29.360 right now. So I am the chair of the Haitian Bridge Alliance, which is the United States
00:33:33.820 organization that represents these Haitians before the Supreme Court. And we have made the argument
00:33:38.660 that not just his comments, but also in the writings and just recently, even the discovered
00:33:43.060 emails from Christy Noem about the clear conversations they've made about Haitians
00:33:47.180 and black immigrants in general when you even look at the refugee policy and this court has said
00:33:51.780 even with that information there's nothing for us to do here which seems to be extremely problematic
00:33:57.200 along party lines and today you've seen something that i haven't seen in the supreme court in a very
00:34:02.020 long time is that you've seen the justice sort of read dissents that are 35 pages from the bar so
00:34:06.720 even in the supreme court you see not the harmony that generally exists there in peaceful dissent
00:34:12.120 and saying that this is outside the norm and because it is outside the norm because it isn't
00:34:16.020 about just policy and procedure. This is about people and human engagement. And the concept that
00:34:22.140 people keep saying that the problem is that it's temporary status and it's been longer than
00:34:26.220 temporary. Well, change the word. Don't put people's lives in danger because you feel that
00:34:32.220 that arbitrarily moves something. And as stated before, there are a million or so classes of TPS
00:34:36.860 individuals who are here legally working. So they're authorized. They've been vetted. There's
00:34:40.540 none of the concerns that you have with people who may come in undocumented, as well as they're
00:34:45.160 supporting our economy and when you remove those individuals you draw down all of those work areas
00:34:50.480 so all those jobs are doing all of these companies that were relying on these tps workers to work
00:34:54.940 tomorrow are going to have to make decisions about them leaving today so this is not a big win that
00:34:59.340 we think we're going to celebrate and there are 350 million or more americans in the united states
00:35:03.620 a million tps holders are not causing some economic burden on the united states senator you you listen
00:35:10.480 to that and you would think the sky is falling and that is how they're covering it on ms now
00:35:14.920 the former MSNBC. Yeah, look, the left wants open borders. We saw under Joe Biden, 12 million
00:35:22.060 people invade this country, and that included criminals, it included murderers and rapists 0.96
00:35:26.740 and terrorists and child molesters. And that's what these advocates want. And by the way,
00:35:33.080 you look at from Haiti, Haiti right now is rocked with massive violence. It is all but chaos in
00:35:40.520 haiti as the gangs have taken over and and that's those are those are the people that that the left 1.00
00:35:47.100 is trying to bring in and and let me be clear the the the immigration law that was being decided on 0.95
00:35:53.000 here says explicitly no judicial review of any determination and yet that's what the court
00:35:58.900 followed and and yet the dissenters don't care what the statute says they just want open borders
00:36:03.200 as always thank you for listening to verdict with senator ted cruz ben ferguson with you don't
