Transcript
00:00:05.260
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.220
And Senator, apparently there's some really juicy audio that the White House is now saying
00:00:15.940
they don't want the American people to hear it at all costs.
00:00:19.400
They're willing to protect it and make sure it never gets out and it deals with the Biden crime family.
00:00:29.180
We're going to talk about the Biden administration trying to desperately cover up the tapes of Joe Biden's interview
00:00:37.940
with the special counsel, Herr, and the absurd and frivolous claim of executive privilege.
00:00:45.080
We're going to talk about how Hunter Biden's sugar daddy has cut him off, which is interesting and revealing.
00:00:51.600
And finally, we're going to talk about how the Biden administration is doing everything they can
00:00:56.340
to cover up, to block the public release of the countries that the individuals on the terror watch list crossing the border are from.
00:01:07.700
Yeah, truly shocking trying to keep that information from the American people, and you're going to want to hear all of that.

All right, Senator, let's get into this news that broke.
00:02:54.660
It is actually shocking how much the White House is now trying to protect this Biden interview audio with special counsel her,
00:03:06.220
and apparently it's so damning they don't want any of us to ever hear it.
00:03:11.300
No, that is exactly right, and I want you to understand how absurd the legal position of the White House is.
00:03:19.280
So the House of Representatives is trying to get the audio of the interview between special counsel Robert Herr and President Joe Biden,
00:03:28.420
and we learned this week the Biden White House is claiming executive privilege to block the release of that audio.
00:03:36.660
By the way, at the same time, a whole consortium of media outlets, including ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times,
00:03:46.020
all of the corporate media, they're actually suing trying to get this audio as well.
00:03:52.160
The House of Representatives is trying to get it.
00:03:54.340
And we saw this week the Biden White House claim executive privilege.
00:03:58.840
Now, listen, if you're not a lawyer, you may think, okay, well, that seems like, I don't know, I've heard those terms, executive privilege.
00:04:05.380
What does that mean? I guess that's a reasonable claim.
00:04:10.440
I've got to tell you, as a lawyer, as a constitutional litigator, this is one of the most absurd legal claims I've ever heard.
00:04:19.800
So let me tell you what executive privilege is.
00:04:23.000
Executive privilege is a privilege that is attached to the law for a long time,
00:04:26.920
and it is it protects conversations between the president and his senior advisors.
00:04:33.340
So if a president is talking with his chief of staff, if a president is talking with his national security advisor,
00:04:39.120
and they're talking about what do we do in Israel?
00:04:49.560
Executive privilege protects forcing those employees to disclose what they've talked about with the president.
00:05:00.800
You want a president, whoever the president is, Republican or Democrat,
00:05:04.280
you want a president to get candid advice, real advice, straightforward advice.
00:05:09.980
And if every employee of the president is worried, holy cow, I could be forced to testify in front of Congress on this,
00:05:16.600
I could be forced to testify in court on this, you will end up having people giving the president advice that is CYA,
00:05:23.440
that is covering their own rear end, that is trying to protect themselves,
00:05:26.960
and it's deeply damaging to the executive operating effectively.
00:05:32.400
So executive privilege is a real, it is a very important privilege.
00:05:36.520
Now, let me stop here and point out that the Democrats and the court system and the media
00:05:44.500
have not given a damn about executive privilege if it concerns Donald Trump.
00:05:51.000
Yeah, that's, I mean, you have a hundred examples you could use to prove that point.
00:05:55.380
And let me give you two, Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.
00:05:58.940
Again, Peter Navarro is in prison right now because the Democrat House of Representatives subpoenaed him,
00:06:08.740
He claimed executive privilege because he was a senior advisor to the president.
00:06:12.360
He didn't want to testify by what he talked about to the president.
00:06:17.060
Steve Bannon is headed to jail right now for the same reason.
00:06:20.220
So when it came to Republicans, they did not care.
00:06:25.320
The Democrats, the media, the court system did not care about executive privilege.
00:06:31.560
But what happened this week, I want you to understand,
00:06:35.220
the Biden White House claimed executive privilege not concerning his discussion
00:06:43.000
not concerning Biden's discussions with cabinet members, his senior team.
00:06:54.420
Robert Hurt is the special counsel appointed to investigate allegations that Joe Biden committed crimes,
00:07:06.860
And the Biden White House claimed executive privilege for the audio of the interview
00:07:14.280
Now, under no way, shape or form was that conversation a conversation between Joe Biden
00:07:21.360
and his senior advisors about a policy issue or substantive issue.
00:07:25.240
Listen, if Joe Biden were talking with Merrick Garland about what the administration's policy
00:07:30.480
should be on immigration, what the administration's policy should be on any issue,
00:07:36.860
that is something that is properly covered by executive privilege
00:07:41.540
because the president is entitled to talk to a senior team without it being forced to be made public.
00:07:47.540
But in this case, Robert Hurt was not operating in the role as an employee,
00:08:02.420
The reason he was appointed special counsel is because there was credible and serious evidence
00:08:08.640
that Joe Biden had committed multiple felonies.
00:08:11.560
And so Robert Hurt was in the position of a prosecutor.
00:08:14.860
He was investigating a potential criminal defendant.
00:08:19.300
He was interrogating a potential criminal defendant.
00:08:22.680
And by the way, the report from Robert Hurt concluded that Joe Biden committed multiple serious felonies,
00:08:30.600
that he violated the law, particularly concerning the treatment of classified documents,
00:08:35.500
that he did so in a way that was knowing, that was repeated, that was brazen.
00:08:43.780
And then Robert Hurt's recommendation is, even though he's committed multiple felonies,
00:08:47.680
and by the way, for the same thing on which the Biden Justice Department is right now prosecuting Donald Trump,
00:08:56.360
Robert Hurt ultimately recommended we cannot prosecute Joe Biden
00:09:00.220
because he is so old and senile that he is not competent to stand trial.
00:09:08.140
And what the recommendation from Robert Hurt was...
00:09:12.060
Because I think a lot of people forgot about that.
00:09:14.200
I mean, the excuse for not prosecuting Joe Biden for having classified documents that he'd had for decades, right?
0.85
00:09:23.540
Dating back to when he was a senator, was that he's just too old and feeble,
00:09:28.180
and we couldn't get a conviction because the excuse would be he's too old to convict
00:09:35.160
Yet he's the president of the United States of America with the nuclear codes.
00:09:40.800
So to convict someone of a criminal crime, you've got to make the case that they have the mens rea.
00:09:47.600
Mens rea is the legal term for the intent that they're knowingly and willingly violating the criminal law.
00:09:54.520
What Robert Hurt said is you could not convince a jury that Joe Biden had the mens rea to violate the law,
00:10:03.100
even though he did so repeatedly, knowingly, that he was openly, brazenly, shamelessly.
00:10:10.780
But what Hurt said is, and by the way, he said this on behalf of the Biden Justice Department,
00:10:16.780
he said any jury would conclude that the Biden was too old and senile and forgetful,
00:10:23.020
that he could not realize he was committing felonies, and so you couldn't prosecute it for him.
00:10:28.000
It's amazing that's the excuse for the president of the United States of America.
00:10:32.740
Yet he's apparently in good enough shape to run for re-election and be president for another four years.
00:10:39.100
Like you mentioned a minute ago that he has the nuclear codes.
00:10:43.440
Understand the Biden Department of Justice has publicly maintained to the American people,
00:10:52.540
And yet he is competent to be the commander in chief, to have the nuclear codes.
00:10:58.580
And let's be clear, if Joe Biden tonight decided to annihilate humanity
00:11:03.980
and to fire nuclear weapons at our enemies, he could exterminate human beings from existence.
00:11:11.120
And yet, according to the Biden DOJ, he's not competent to stand trial.
00:11:18.840
The Speaker of the House, by the way, he has come out and said he is very concerned about this issue as well.
00:11:27.100
From the House side, here is what he said earlier.
00:11:30.400
But first, I want to address the breaking news from this morning.
00:11:34.560
About an hour ago, we learned that President Biden has invoked executive privilege
00:11:38.900
to prevent the American people from hearing the audio recordings of his testimony with Special Counsel Robert Herr.
00:11:44.840
The American people will not be able to hear why prosecutors felt the President of the United States
00:11:52.220
was, in Special Counsel Robert Herr's words, a, quote,
00:11:56.600
elderly man with a poor memory and thus shouldn't be charged.
00:12:03.440
President Biden is apparently afraid for the citizens of this country and everyone to hear those tapes.
00:12:09.600
They obviously confirm what the Special Counsel has found and would likely cause, I suppose,
00:12:15.820
in his estimation, such alarm with the American people that the President is using all of his power
00:12:24.620
And rather than defend our closest ally at war,
00:12:27.920
President Biden is using his authority to defend himself politically.
00:12:36.420
It's so damning that we've got to do this at all costs, protect it, make sure it never gets out there,
00:12:42.220
make sure we don't see the light of, this is the light of day.
00:12:44.840
And the next question is, Senator, for you is, okay, well then what happens next on this?
00:12:49.640
Is there a way to get these recordings out there?
00:12:53.160
So the Speaker of the House is precisely right.
00:12:57.320
What this tells us is these recordings are bad.
00:13:04.100
They are the sorts of things that if you listen to them,
00:13:06.800
the natural inference from the fact that they're fighting so hard
00:13:11.440
and they're making a demonstrably frivolous legal claim to protect them
00:13:15.940
is that the White House has determined, holy cow, people heard this,
00:13:21.940
they would say Joe Biden is utterly incompetent to be president.
00:13:24.960
But that Robert Hur, the special counsel, was right.
00:13:31.940
If you're not competent to stand trial, you're not competent to be president of the United States.
00:13:36.060
You're not competent to be the commander-in-chief of the United States military.
00:13:40.280
So it's not just you're saying what they were talking about on the recording,
00:13:43.520
which would be damning enough on the substance and the subject matter,
00:13:46.980
but it's also about the incompetency that then can be used against him
00:13:51.000
and the American people would see basically pull back the curtain
00:13:53.720
and this is what the guy running your country really is like right now.
00:13:57.420
Are you going to give him a chance to run it for another four years?
00:14:00.640
Look, my assumption is the audio is incredibly damning.
00:14:06.000
Remember, we talked about when Robert Hur was appointed.
00:14:08.640
Robert Hur had been the right hand to Rod Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general,
00:14:15.220
who had been Barack Obama's U.S. attorney in Maryland.
00:14:19.360
Rod Rosenstein is responsible for much of the abuse of power we saw in the DOJ.
00:14:25.200
He's responsible for appointing Robert Mueller as the special counsel to investigate Russia, Russia, Russia.
00:14:32.880
And when Robert Hur was first appointed, we said, look,
00:14:36.740
what will reveal whether Mr. Hur is actually doing his job
00:14:44.120
And if he just if if he walls off any evidence of criminality from Joe Biden,
00:14:53.380
Now, I will say his report was frankly better than you and I expected.
0.96
00:14:58.220
Yeah, because because his report on its face concluded, yes, Joe Biden is a criminal.
0.99
00:15:03.960
He violated the criminal law over and over and over again.
0.98
00:15:18.780
Hur said he was not going to recommend charges against Joe Biden,
00:15:23.240
exactly like the charges that were being brought against Donald Trump for the same offense,
00:15:28.160
is because he said Joe Biden's not competent to stand trial.
00:15:33.120
Now, Democrats were horrified at the second part of that conclusion because they're like,
00:15:37.580
no, don't reveal pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
00:15:41.960
Do not reveal that the Wizard of Oz is a fake and a fraud.
00:15:46.320
Now, listen, you and I have talked about we're three and a half years into the Biden presidency.
00:15:51.740
You know how many times I've talked to Joe Biden since he became president?
00:16:05.860
When Barack Obama was president, I talked to him regularly.
00:16:09.560
When Donald Trump was president, I talked to him every week and sometimes every day.
00:16:17.860
And by the way, you might say, OK, Cruz, he's a right winger.
00:16:23.320
But Biden has talked to virtually zero Republican senators.
00:16:32.200
I'm being serious because they say, you guy, it's better to it's better to protect him
00:16:37.420
and shield him from from y'all so that you don't understand how diminished he is.
00:16:44.860
So listen, the Republican senators, we have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
00:16:52.000
We talk regularly at lunch about how weird it is that none of us have talked to Joe Biden.
00:17:03.160
We were sitting there at lunch talking and the only senator at the table with me who had spoken with Joe Biden was John Kennedy.
00:17:15.860
He said, listen, I spoke with Biden once and it was fairly early on in the Biden presidency.
00:17:21.500
And there was a bill that John had authored that passed.
00:17:27.360
And John said, look, they wanted to do a signing ceremony in the Oval Office.
00:17:31.980
You know, presumably to show they were bipartisan.
00:17:38.120
And so John said he went to that signing ceremony.
00:17:41.520
And and he said Biden in the middle of the conversations in the middle of the signing ceremony struck up a conversation with John.
00:17:49.960
And and Biden said, hey, hey, John, have you ever been to the cabinet room?
00:17:54.560
And John Kennedy being John Kennedy, he said, I lied.
00:17:59.260
And Biden immediately says, well, come on, let me take you over there.
00:18:04.200
So he goes over to the cabinet room and John said, but Biden begins telling war stories.
00:18:12.640
And he's just talking about things that happened decades ago.
00:18:15.900
And he's telling it, telling them on and on and on.
00:18:18.620
And the the Biden White House staff is freaking out.
00:18:22.900
And they're going, Mr. President, Mr. President, you need to go.
00:18:25.660
They were really worried that Biden is talking to John Kennedy and and Biden apparently like gave him the back of the hand and said, shut up.
00:18:35.720
And Kennedy said that Biden spent 45 minutes telling war stories.
00:18:41.760
And it was like it was like your grandfather reliving World War Two.
00:19:01.020
Joe Biden swore me into the Senate when I was first elected in 2012.
00:19:05.040
The person who delivered my oath of office was Joe Biden.
00:19:08.780
So it is weird that the White House staff keeps him hidden from us.
00:19:14.280
And the natural assumption is that his mental diminishment is so great that they cannot let him speak to us.
00:19:22.160
And so you put that in the context of this Robert Herr interview.
00:19:26.360
Understand the claim of executive privilege is absurd because Robert Herr was not meeting with him as a subservient employee discussing the administration's policy.
00:19:38.140
Rather, Robert Herr was appointed as special counsel to investigate.
00:19:47.400
Well, and he testified to that on Capitol Hill.
00:19:49.300
I want to play that for people because it's important to remind you what Herr had to say about Biden's memory and his mental state.
00:19:55.880
Before I do that, though, I want to tell you about our friends over at Chalk.
00:19:58.460

00:20:11.860
And that is something that can be very frustrated because you may want to get up in the morning and you just already feel tired.
00:20:17.620
You may want to go work out and you just don't feel like you have the energy.
00:20:21.360
You may be playing sports and you just feel like fatigue is set in.
00:20:24.920

00:21:42.640
This is her on Capitol Hill when he was being asked questions.
00:21:46.360
So, you have audio recording from his ghostwriter where the president acknowledges that the information he has is classified and he's sharing with his ghostwriter.
00:21:55.980
We have an audio recording capturing a statement from Mr. Biden saying to his ghostwriter in February of 2017, quote, I just found all the classified stuff downstairs, end quote.
00:22:07.560
And then again, reciting passages from a meeting in this situation.
00:22:15.300
Right, so he's, and the ghostwriter has no classified, no, he has no clearance, no classified clearance to anything, correct?
00:22:23.580
That is our understanding that Mr. Zwanitzer was not authorized to receive classified information.
00:22:28.380
Now, that was, he said in 17, so he knew he had classified data, classified documents 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, when they started to find these things in his garage right by the Corvette.
00:22:42.300
Yes, and remember, remember the joy Democrats felt when they began bringing charges against Donald Trump for having classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
00:22:53.900
Now, listen, as a president of the United States, you have the authority to declassify documents.
00:22:59.000
Every president in modern times has taken documents from his presidency for his memoirs, to write things.
00:23:05.100
That has been part, we've covered this at length on this podcast.
00:23:08.480
So, the prosecution against Donald Trump for the classified documents was always weak on its face.
00:23:14.400
But then the Democrats had this enormous political problem, because they were gleeful.
00:23:18.860
They're like, ha-ha, classified document, you have them, okay, we got you, finally, we finally have something we can charge you on.
00:23:25.820
And then the news broke that Joe Biden had done the exact same thing.
00:23:29.820
And then the news broke that it wasn't once, it was twice, it was three times, it was four times, it was five times.
00:23:37.860
And then the news broke that Joe Biden seemingly had classified documents stored just about everywhere, as you noted, by his garage, in his garage next to his antique Corvette, all over the place, in one house, in another house.
00:23:50.420
And by the way, it wasn't just from his time as vice president, and to be clear, Joe Biden as vice president had no legal authority to declassify anything, so he could not have done what Trump could have done.
00:24:01.760
It is also the case that there were multiple classified documents from Joe Biden's time as a senator.
00:24:13.920
I can tell you, I'm sitting right now in my D.C. apartment, we have a little apartment by Capitol Hill, I can tell you with absolute certainty there's not a classified document in my apartment.
00:24:25.520
Because I have never, ever, ever, even once, read a classified document outside of the SCIF, which is the secure compartmentalized facility in the basement of the Capitol.
00:24:38.040
I go into the SCIF, I read the document, I leave the document there, and I walk out.
00:24:43.920
So, is there a classified document in my D.C. apartment? No.
00:24:47.360
Is there a classified document in my home in Houston? No.
00:24:55.220
And it takes a degree of culpability to willingly, and by the way, like, nobody takes them out.
00:25:03.820
I mean, this is, it's weird that Joe Biden had them.
00:25:08.500
And it's because it's such a big deal, and you guys are briefed on it beforehand.
00:25:12.260
Classified documents are not something you screw around with.
00:25:14.700
So, when I was at the Department of Justice, I was an Associate Deputy Attorney General.
00:25:20.220
I read classified documents in that role as well.
00:25:27.940
In fact, once I jammed my thumb in it, it really hurt.
00:25:32.640
If I had classified documents in my office, you know what?
00:25:39.460
So, if I was reading a classified document, I had to put them in the safe and lock the safe.
00:25:45.500
Dealing with classified documents is a big deal.
00:25:49.020
And what Robert Hurt concluded is Joe Biden had them just about everywhere.
00:25:53.480
So, if Joe Biden has committed the same crime Donald Trump has alleged to have committed,
00:25:59.220
if he's done so for decades, if he's done so brazenly,
00:26:03.840
that's a big political problem for the Biden Department of Justice.
00:26:08.200
Because, remember, early on, their great hope was we're going to get Trump on the classified documents.
00:26:15.840
Because their objective is to stop the voters from voting for Trump.
00:26:19.200
And they thought the classified documents was their avenue.
00:26:26.800
And so, their answer was Biden is not competent to stand trial.
00:26:34.060
But, understand the claim of executive privilege is lunacy.
00:26:43.680
Because when Joe Biden sat down with Robert Hurt, there is no arguable claim he was sitting down with a senior advisor.
00:26:50.700
There's no arguable claim he was talking about administration policy.
00:26:56.300
give me your advice, my employee, as to terms of what I should do.
00:27:03.900
Instead, Robert Hurt was a prosecutor investigating him as a potential criminal defendant.
00:27:14.080
And yet, the media and the Democrats are ignoring the obvious inanity of this claim.
00:27:21.580
Because back in February, White House spokesman Ian Sams bragged about Joe Biden not asserting executive privilege during Special Counsel Hurt's investigation,
00:27:37.200
Three, he didn't exert executive privilege over any contents of the report.
00:27:46.860
And so, understand, Joe Biden arguably could have asserted executive privilege in the interview.
00:27:55.460
He could have said, I'm not going to answer a particular question about the conversations I had with my senior advisors because of executive privilege.
00:28:05.140
He didn't, according to the White House, unless the White House spokesman was lying.
00:28:14.680
Instead, what they're saying is the tape of a prosecutor investigating the president for criminal conduct, that's executive privilege.
00:28:23.400
And that is, I got to tell you, Ben, if you were a 1L law student on your con law final exam and you wrote that this is executive privilege, you would flunk.
00:28:48.380
Because they're just going to be that good at hiding it?
00:28:52.420
Look, we only have six months until the election.
00:28:59.280
The House is going to, now, the next step is to hold Merrick Garland in contempt.
00:29:04.180
But the problem is, look, there are checks and balances.
00:29:08.640
The House can hold an attorney general in contempt.
00:29:10.940
And, by the way, the House held Eric Holder in contempt when he was Barack Obama's attorney general.
00:29:21.240
It takes the Department of Justice to go and prosecute it.
00:29:25.600
Eric Holder wouldn't prosecute the contempt holding against himself.
00:29:31.060
And so, at the end of the day, the fact that the Biden Justice Department is so political and so corrupt means, in all likelihood, to be honest, 30-70 is probably optimistic.
00:29:49.720
More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:29:53.880
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.

00:30:16.840
There's another report that has hit the same time that Hunter Biden's sugar daddy, Kevin Morris, is, quote, tapped out of cash after funding President Biden's son.
00:30:35.560
He has been funding the president's son's legal battles now for almost half a decade.
00:30:41.420
His, quote, close friend, Kevin Morris, who said, I don't know, I'm not getting anything out of this guy.
00:30:49.760
He's said to have loaned Hunter Biden more than $6 million.
00:30:53.720
This, as Hunter Biden is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, and now the sugar daddy's saying, I'm out after six grand.
00:31:07.380
He's seeing the same poll numbers you're seeing.
00:31:09.820
He's seeing the same momentum that you and I are seeing day in and day out with Donald Trump.
00:31:14.040
He's seeing the same economic news that's coming out, and he's seeing these trials come up.
00:31:19.380
And is he cutting, basically, a bad investment at this point, saying, OK, I'm hedging my bets.
00:31:25.960
Joe Biden's not going to be able to do me favors for another four years.
00:31:32.800
So the headline in the Daily Mail, which broke the story, is Hunter Biden's sugar brother, Kevin Morris, quote, tapped out of cash after funding President Sun's legal battles for almost five years.
00:31:49.580
Hollywood lawyer and Hunter Biden's sugar brother, Kevin Morris, is said to be tapped out of cash after financially supporting Hunter's legal battles over the last four and a half years to the tune of $6 million.
00:32:03.360
Let me ask you, do you have any friends that are good enough friends that you give them $6 million?
00:32:07.900
No, and not only that, I love how the money apparently is supposed to be paid back after the election.
00:32:14.780
The withdrawal of financial support for the president's son comes at the worst possible time for Hunter, with two trials looming, which could end up seeing him serve jail time.
00:32:30.600
The press didn't seem to care that there was this lawyer in California funding Joe Biden's son's legal defense up until this stage.
00:32:39.280
But the fact that he is bailing out, I got to tell you that there is the old phrase, the rats are running from the ship.
00:32:46.820
That starts to suggest that's exactly what happened here.
00:32:52.420
You got to have somebody that can hook you up on the end of it.
00:32:54.700
And if Joe Biden's out of office, what's the point of keeping your money flowing to this to Hunter Biden?
00:33:00.280
This could be major, could mean major complications also for Hunter Biden's legal defense.
00:33:06.340
Can that be used as a delay tactic is my question.
00:33:11.160
Oh, they'll try, but I don't think it will succeed.
00:33:15.300
Quote, the pair met in 2019 during dad president's Biden's campaign for the White House.
00:33:20.980
They quickly developed a close friendship just as Hunter was trying to get his life on track and stay sober.
00:33:27.260
At the time, Morris helped him get safe housing.
00:33:30.560
He was dubbed Hunter's sugar brother after he agreed to loan the first son or reported $2.8 million to pay off his tax debts
00:33:38.980
and joined his legal team amidst criminal and congressional investigations.
00:33:44.080
But now, after four and a half years of shouldering the financial burden,
00:33:48.560
having loaned him more than $6.5 million, Morris is no longer willing to foot the bill.
00:33:57.660
I'm going to guess it's probably going to be from some of his foreign businesses.
00:34:00.700
Or, hey, maybe it's some really nice artwork that'll go for more than a half a million dollars.
00:34:04.940
Because apparently getting a half a million dollars to do finger painting is pretty impressive.
00:34:09.260
That's just the going right now if you're the president's son.
00:34:13.740
If you have a cell phone and you have a cell phone with Big Mobile,
00:34:17.700
you may not realize that you're actually supporting Planned Parenthood.
00:34:21.240
You may not realize you're supporting democratic causes and candidates running at the local, state, and national level.
00:34:28.780
Well, with Big Mobile, they give big donations to the left.
00:34:32.160
And once I found that out, I had to make the switch.
00:34:35.300
Now, the number one reason why people don't switch cell phone providers is because in the past,
00:34:48.380
In fact, switching to Patriot Mobile, you do not have to go to a store.
00:34:55.480
And when you switch to Patriot Mobile with every phone call you make, with every text message you send,
00:35:01.520
you're supporting conservative values and causes because they take about 5% of your bill each and every month.
00:35:09.760
And they give it back to conservative organizations that support free speech, religious freedom,
00:35:19.200
and they support our military veterans, first responders, and our wounded warrior heroes.
00:35:26.120
So when you make a call and you pay your bill, you're so standing up for what you believe in.
00:35:36.260
You get the same exact service you used to right now because you're going to use the same towers that you're using right now.
00:35:41.980
You can keep your same cell phone number, keep the same phone you have in your hand right now,
00:35:48.400
All you got to do is go to PatriotMobile.com slash verdict.
00:35:59.400
And you're going to get free activation when you use the offer code VERDICT.
00:36:04.020
Join me, make the switch today, and make a difference.
00:36:06.760
PatriotMobile.com slash verdict or 972-PATRIOT.
00:36:12.100
Finally, Senator, one other thing that has happened,
00:36:14.640
and this is going to continue to break and become a bigger story.
00:36:18.680
But we are now finding out that the White House is refusing a FOIA request.
00:36:26.280
It is a request that was filed to find out about the nationalities of people on the terror watch list
00:36:33.100
that have been arrested by Border Patrol in recent years.
00:36:35.880
The CBP now says they will not turn over the data, citing privacy and law enforcement sensitivity exemptions,
00:36:46.780
We're not giving you the intel on how many people have come across the southern border
00:36:50.320
that are on the terrorist watch list and what nations they're coming from.
00:36:54.920
Well, this is the third story we're covering today that deals with Biden cover-ups.
00:37:00.000
That's the unifying theme behind all these stories.
00:37:03.540
In this instance, they're covering up the likely terrorists and the criminal threats
00:37:09.620
that are crossing into this border illegally through Joe Biden and the Democrats' open borders.
00:37:14.940
And let me read you a tweet from Bill Malugian.
00:37:18.000
Bill Malugian, as you know, is the heroic, the fantastic reporter for Fox News
00:37:23.400
who's done more reporting on the border than, I think, any reporter in the whole country.
00:37:30.840
New, six-plus months ago, I filed a FOIA request with CBP
00:37:35.160
seeking the nationalities of people on the terror watch list
00:37:42.320
CBP now says they will not turn over that data,
00:37:46.200
citing privacy and law enforcement sensitivity exemptions, telling me, quote,
00:37:51.060
The privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested
00:37:54.560
outweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information.
00:37:59.300
Any private interest you may have in the information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test.
00:38:07.300
I did not ask for any names, IDs, addresses, anything that would breach privacy,
00:38:13.740
nor did I ask for any law enforcement sensitive information.
00:38:16.500
I simply requested only, and only as bracketed by asterisks on both sides,
00:38:22.840
the nationalities of people arrested on the list
00:38:26.280
so the public can have an understanding of where in the world they are coming from.
00:38:31.880
CBP acknowledges in the opening paragraphs of their response letter to me
00:38:35.420
that all I asked for was the nationalities of those arrested on the terror watch list.
00:38:39.880
But they then go on to cite exemptions that have nothing to do with what I requested,
00:38:45.020
including medical files, phone numbers, email addresses, home addresses, dates of birth, etc.
00:38:53.700
And they even cite an exemption regarding, quote,
00:38:57.620
records which could be reasonably expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual.
00:39:02.820
I disagree with CBP's withholdings of this data based on exemptions that have nothing to do with my FOIA request,
00:39:16.280
What is Joe Biden, this administration, and the Democrats, what are they hiding?
00:39:22.940
And the question is, where are they hiding, and how is it affecting, most importantly,
00:39:26.840
our security in this country with terrorists coming across the southern border?
00:39:30.640
We know they're coming across, but is it because...
00:39:38.940
Because the countries are countries where there's massive terrorism,
0.94
00:39:42.560
they're jihadists, they're people that want to kill Americans,
0.99
00:39:48.060
we're at a greater risk of a major terrorist attack in the United States
00:39:51.120
than we have been at any time since September 11th.
00:39:57.540
And I don't want it to happen, but Joe Biden and the Democrats are inviting terrorists
00:40:03.620
Iran has demanded global jihad against America.
00:40:06.720
Hamas has demanded global jihad against America.
00:40:09.700
Hezbollah has demanded global jihad against America.
00:40:12.320
And Joe Biden and the Democrats are inviting people in.
00:40:19.380
so we know there have been hundreds of people on the terror watch list
00:40:23.620
They have not released what countries they came from.
00:40:32.700
that they're from countries that are dangerous,
1.00
00:40:35.500
that have lots of terrorists who want to kill us.
0.74
00:40:42.460
It reminds me of, you remember, and we talked about this,
00:40:47.660
when the data broke about the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants
00:40:56.580
and the Biden administration refused to disclose which cities,
00:41:01.700
and they claimed it was national security information,
00:41:13.080
They were overwhelmingly cities in Florida and Texas,
00:41:20.180
they're trying to do everything they can to screw Florida and Texas.
1.00
00:41:24.140
But their claim that it was a national security risk
00:41:36.860
I hope through litigation or political pressure,
00:41:41.280
But Joe Biden and the administration are counting on
00:41:44.120
that they can stonewall until at least the election.
00:41:48.680
Don't forget, we are going to keep you updated on this story.
