Verdict with Ted Cruz - Biden Money Trail from China, Secret Biden Emails, China Making Big Bucks on Green New Deal & FBI Sounds Warning on Potential Hamas Terror Attack in USA

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.620 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.500 Welcome.

00:00:06.180 It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.740 And we've got a lot to get you updated on, including new info on the Biden crime family

00:00:14.360 and money flowing directly yet again to the president of the United States of America.

00:00:19.060 Also, Senator Ted Cruz's book, Unwoke, is coming out.

00:00:23.040 You're going to want to get your hands on it.

00:00:24.340 We're going to chat about that.

00:00:25.340 And the FBI director, Ray, had new shocking testimony about an open southern border and

00:00:32.500 what it means when it comes to terrorism.

00:00:34.340 But first, Senator, let's talk about this new intel.

00:00:37.640 Joe Biden received $40,000 in what James Comer is calling laundered China money from the account

00:00:46.200 of his brother, James Biden, and his sister-in-law, Sarah Biden, in the form of another personal

00:00:52.600 check, directly tying the Biden crime family businesses to the president of the United

00:00:58.760 States of America.

00:01:00.300 I'm not surprised by this.

00:01:02.400 I'm glad we're starting to see the money flowing.

00:01:04.700 We all knew it was there.

00:01:05.880 And now we have proof.

00:01:08.360 Well, we're about to see the Biden White House defense shift yet again.

00:01:14.220 Remember, the story has shifted repeatedly.

00:01:17.680 At first, Joe Biden said he'd never talked to his son, Hunter, about any of his business

00:01:22.480 deals.

00:01:23.260 Then, after that was proven to be a blatant lie, he said he wasn't involved in any of the

00:01:29.820 deals.

00:01:30.860 Then, after that was demonstrated to be false, much of the Democrat talking point shifted

00:01:36.640 to, OK, Hunter is crooked as the day is long.

00:01:40.360 But there's no direct evidence of Joe's involvement in the corruption.

00:01:44.840 Now, that is proving more and more untenable as we're seeing a paper trail of cash flowing

00:01:52.320 to Joe Biden.

00:01:53.460 And with everything else going on, it's easy to forget about this story.

00:01:57.000 But at the end of the day, having a president of the United States whose family had a family

00:02:02.520 business of making millions of dollars selling favors from Joe Biden, that remains a serious

00:02:10.840 issue of corruption.

00:02:12.000 And I think the evidence keeps getting worse.

00:02:13.580 Yeah, James Comer put together basically a video that explained this money trail.

00:02:22.400 And it's important for people to hear it because, as we've had James on the show for a two-part

00:02:28.140 series, he does an excellent job of checking information and then connecting the dots.

00:02:35.240 He put this out to the House Oversight Committee, and I want people to hear what he had to say.

00:02:39.640 Remember when Joe Biden told the American people that his son didn't make any money in China?

00:02:44.620 My son has not made money in terms of this thing about, what are you talking about, China?

00:02:51.300 Well, not only did he lie about his son Hunter making money in China, but it also turns out

00:02:56.340 that $40,000 in laundered China money landed in Joe Biden's bank account in the form of a

00:03:02.720 personal check.

00:03:07.180 Here's how Joe Biden benefited from his family's shady deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party-linked company.

00:03:13.180 It all began with a shakedown in the summer of 2017, when Hunter Biden sent a message to his CEFC

00:03:19.500 associate demanding a $10 million capital payment.

00:03:23.640 As Hunter Biden extorted this associate, Hunter claimed he was sitting with his father

00:03:28.640 and that the Biden network would turn on his associate if he didn't pony up the money.

00:03:34.060 The extortion scheme worked.

00:03:36.520 Days later, $5 million flowed in from a Chinese affiliate of CEFC.

00:03:41.120 Over the following three weeks, Biden family members made a series of complicated financial

00:03:47.740 transactions to hide the source of the China money.

00:03:51.700 Here's how that happened.

00:03:53.240 First, Northern International Capital, a Chinese company associated with CEFC, wired $5 million

00:03:59.760 to Hudson West 3, a joint venture established by Hunter Biden and a CEFC associate.

00:04:06.320 Then, Hudson West 3 sent $400,000 to an entity owned and controlled by Hunter Biden.

00:04:14.580 Next, Hunter Biden wired $150,000 to Lion Hall Group, a company owned by James and Sarah Biden.

00:04:22.340 Sarah Biden then withdrew $50,000 in cash from Lion Hall Group.

00:04:27.480 Later the same day, she deposited it into her and James Biden's personal checking account.

00:04:32.300 A few days later, Sarah Biden cut a check to Joe Biden for $40,000. 0.51

00:04:38.840 The memo line of the check said, loan repayment.

00:04:42.500 Like the payment to Joe from AmeriCorps funds, it's certainly plausible that this payment where

00:04:48.240 James and Sarah used funds from China was indeed a loan payment to Joe.

00:04:53.020 But even if this $40,000 check was a loan repayment from James Biden, it still shows how Joe benefited

00:05:00.660 from his family cashing in on his name with money from China, no less.

00:05:06.220 Without his family peddling his name and his son threatening a CEFC associate with consequences

00:05:11.760 that he said Joe Biden knew about, James wouldn't have had the money to write the $40,000 check

00:05:17.600 to his brother, Joe.

00:05:18.700 It's also worth remembering that Biden family efforts to secure millions from this Chinese

00:05:24.020 company began when Joe Biden was still vice president.

00:05:28.340 In taking funds sourced to a CCP-linked company that wanted to advance China's interests, Joe

00:05:35.080 Biden exposed himself to future blackmail and put America's interests behind his own desire

00:05:40.500 for money.

00:05:41.380 The House Oversight Committee will continue to follow the money and hold President Biden accountable

00:05:46.440 for his corruption.

00:05:47.700 You hear him lay that out, and he does it with such just, here are the facts, here are

00:05:56.100 the dots.

00:05:57.140 And why on earth did the Biden crime family knowingly and willingly do business with Chinese 1.00

00:06:02.700 Communist Party-tied entities?

00:06:07.240 It is one of the best aspects of what he just put together there, because no one in their

00:06:13.260 right mind that was putting America first would open themselves up to even the possibility of 0.57

00:06:19.580 being compromised by the communists in China.

00:06:22.860 And yet, that's exactly who the Bidens would seek out to do business with.

00:06:27.160 Look, every step of that chain of money stinks.

00:06:31.260 He starts with a $5 million wire from a Chinese company to a Hunter Biden-China joint venture.

00:06:39.900 $5 million.

00:06:41.420 That came on August 8th of 2017.

00:06:44.940 Now, listen, do you know anyone who gets $5 million from Chinese companies wired to them?

00:06:51.260 That's bizarre.

00:06:53.080 Hunter Biden provides no services.

00:06:55.240 He doesn't have talent.

00:06:56.780 When is the last time someone says, I got $5 million.

00:06:59.480 I need me a crackhead.

00:07:01.000 Let me give it to him.

00:07:02.060 No, the reason the $5 million was sent, the only value Hunter has, is favors from daddy.

00:07:13.060 And it's important to note that this payment came immediately after the WhatsApp threatening

00:07:19.400 text where Hunter said, I'm sitting here next to my father, where it was explicitly tied.

00:07:24.420 That's direct evidence of Joe Biden's involvement.

00:07:26.460 But from there, so the $5 million wire went on August 8th, 2017.

00:07:31.960 The next wire, the $400,000 wire, went on August 8th of 2017.

00:07:37.880 So same day.

00:07:38.860 $5 million comes in from China.

00:07:40.760 $400,000 gets wired to a Hunter Biden entity.

00:07:44.660 And then from there, $150,000 gets wired to James and Sarah Biden, to an entity they control.

00:07:52.940 What date is that?

00:07:53.820 August 14th.

00:07:55.440 So six days later, $150,000.

00:07:59.160 On August 28th, what does Sarah do? 1.00

00:08:01.640 She takes out $50,000 in cash.

00:08:04.560 Ben, have you ever withdrawn $50,000 in cash?

00:08:07.200 I haven't.

00:08:08.840 No, never in my life have I withdrawn $50,000 in cash.

00:08:13.680 Like, I pulled out $1,000 before.

00:08:15.280 Why would anyone do that unless you're trying to hide where that money's going?

00:08:17.220 I pulled out $1,000 before, but $50,000?

00:08:20.500 Like, give me the cash, and then what does she do? 1.00

00:08:22.740 She takes out $50,000 on August 28th.

00:08:25.500 She deposits it in her personal checking account.

00:08:28.760 And then on September 3rd, she writes a $40,000 check to Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.,

00:08:38.360 now the President of the United States.

00:08:41.260 Like, every step of that stinks.

00:08:45.480 And all of the Biden White House defenders want you to ignore the money trail from communist China.

00:08:54.420 And the question you ought to ask, what possibly could Hunter Biden do that was worth $5 million?

00:09:03.200 And the only answer is provide favors from daddy, because he did not have the capacity to provide that much value to anyone otherwise.

00:09:14.280 I want to tell you about our friends at Chalk.

00:09:16.620 If you are a guy, and you're getting a little bit older, and you feel like that you have lost some of your strength and your vitality,

00:09:24.400 and weakness is setting in, complacency is setting in, maybe you just don't feel like yourself.

00:09:29.260 You want to go out and be more active, but you just feel like you are complacent and fatigued.

00:09:35.300 Well, you're not alone.

00:10:39.920 That's ChalkCHOQ.com.

00:10:43.240 And the other laughable moment of this story is, as this is breaking, that there's now multiple checks directly written

00:10:51.420 from the Biden crime family to the President of the United States of America.

00:10:56.180 Hunter Biden has now come out whining about the media attention, and he says disinformation against his daddy.

00:11:04.520 I'll let you take it from there.

00:11:06.200 Well, Hunter Biden wrote an op-ed in USA Today where he said he is unhappy with denigrating media attention

00:11:18.400 and the investigation into Joe Biden's involvement in his family's business.

00:11:23.580 And, you know, I understand you're unhappy about it.

00:11:27.200 You ought to be unhappy about it.

00:11:29.200 You ought to be even more unhappy about the corruption that you were intimately involved in,

00:11:35.040 that your uncle was intimately involved in, that nine or 12, we don't even know how many,

00:11:40.840 but a bunch of Biden family members.

00:11:43.480 Think how strange this is.

00:11:45.760 Listen, you know, you have every member of your family getting paid thousands or millions of dollars 0.64

00:11:51.640 from Chinese communists, from Russian oligarchs, from Ukrainian oligarchs, like, it stinks to high heaven.

00:11:59.480 And so I don't doubt that Hunter is unhappy with the media attention.

00:12:04.280 There is an easy solution to that, which is don't engage in corrupt bribery schemes with your father.

00:12:13.080 Yeah, and the fact that they gave him the space to write this op-ed to me was also laughable.

00:12:20.580 They're like, oh, sure, come on out here.

00:12:22.940 Tell us how you and your father have been victimized by your own corruption

00:12:27.560 and the tens of millions of dollars have gone into your bank accounts.

00:12:33.060 Look, this is a ton of money.

00:12:35.000 We also have another story that broke.

00:12:37.000 The New York Times reported, quote,

00:12:40.480 President Biden's center received up to 82,000 pages of private emails

00:12:45.740 while serving as Barack Obama's vice president.

00:12:48.340 The National Archives disclosed late Monday as part of a lawsuit brought by a conservative organization.

00:12:54.480 It is unclear what topics are covered in most of the emails or who else has looped in on the messages.

00:13:00.080 However, at least 10 missives were sent between May 18th and June 15th, 2016,

00:13:07.260 and cc'd first son Hunter Biden with one on May 26th notifying Hunter of a scheduled phone call the next day

00:13:17.780 between the vice president, that would be daddy Joe Biden,

00:13:20.920 and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, the first son's abandoned laptop shows.

00:13:27.040 You look at that and then you add it with these 82,000 pages of Biden emails

00:13:33.360 and you think about how much intel we now have about what they were doing behind the scenes.

00:13:40.620 How can anyone at this point say that this was not pay-to-play, straight-up buy influence

00:13:48.680 and petal influence with the United States government for favors.

00:13:53.240 You're buying favors from the government with Biden holding significant offices.

00:13:59.380 And this is an important point, Ben.

00:14:02.840 Nobody had posited an alternative theory of what Hunter Biden had

00:14:08.420 that was valuable enough to be worth tens of millions of dollars.

00:14:13.540 Hunter Biden doesn't have skills.

00:14:15.400 It's not like he's an inventor.

00:14:18.200 It's not like he, you know, I mean, he is, unfortunately, a lawyer with little to no legal experience,

00:14:28.140 with no experience in oil and gas, no experience in global politics,

00:14:32.480 no experience in China, no experience in Ukraine, no experience in Russia,

00:14:37.500 and with serious and persistent substance abuse problems.

00:14:41.200 There is no other human being on planet Earth that fits that profile

00:14:47.140 that gets paid even $1 million, much less tens and tens of millions of dollars.

00:14:55.720 The only possible thing Hunter Biden had to sell is favors from daddy.

00:15:01.760 And to be clear, his text message made very clear that's what he was selling.

00:15:07.920 If you don't pay me the money, my father is going to exact retribution on you.

00:15:14.460 Let's talk about these 82,000 pages of Biden emails.

00:15:18.300 And President Biden sent and received up to 82,000 pages worth of private emails

00:15:22.160 while serving as Barack Obama's vice president.

00:15:24.340 The National Archives disclosed this earlier this week

00:15:27.100 as part of this lawsuit that you mentioned a moment ago.

00:15:29.900 But there are multiple aliases now that this president used.

00:15:35.580 Why would a president have this many burner email accounts

00:15:39.740 and yet send such important information to his son, to his brother, to family members

00:15:46.920 from all of these email addresses?

00:15:49.320 It doesn't make sense unless you're trying to give out information to them

00:15:53.220 hoping that no one would have ever been able to track this down

00:15:56.120 or know you even had these email accounts

00:15:57.880 so that they wouldn't even know what to ask for.

00:15:59.840 Look, it is very weird that there are multiple email addresses

00:16:05.900 that Joe Biden used that were fake, that were burner email addresses.

00:16:11.600 And no one has had a good explanation for why you have so many email addresses.

00:16:18.080 So, for example, we've mentioned robinware456 at gmail.com.

00:16:22.940 We've mentioned jrbware at gmail.com.

00:16:26.280 And we've mentioned robert.l.peters at pci.gov.

00:16:30.980 But in addition to that, there's been reporting that Joe Biden also used

00:16:36.480 an email address aux, A-U-K-S, at att.blackberry.net,

00:16:42.900 and 67stingray at gmx.com.

00:16:48.180 And beyond that, I have also heard reports, this is not confirmed,

00:16:54.280 that he may have used champ4 at att.blackberry.net.

00:17:01.960 Now, let's talk about the aux one.

00:17:05.200 That is an unusual phrase.

00:17:10.860 Well, what is aux?

00:17:12.440 Aux is the mascot of Archmere Academy,

00:17:18.540 which is the private Roman Catholic college preparatory school in Delaware

00:17:22.940 that Joe Biden attended and Hunter Biden attended.

00:17:27.820 And the aux alias got an email on May 10, 2011, from his niece, Cassie Owens,

00:17:32.900 who was serving as a special assistant for the U.S.-China Strategic

00:17:37.180 and Economic Dialogue at the Treasury Department.

00:17:39.920 Just days before she left Treasury, Owens emailed, quote,

00:17:45.240 Uncle Joe at aux at blackberry.net.

00:17:48.680 And here's the text of the email, quote,

00:17:52.060 Uncle Joe, just got home from work and couldn't wait to send you an email.

00:17:56.800 Today was truly a memorable day for me.

00:17:58.900 I kept thinking about Mom Mom.

00:18:01.200 Can you imagine her seeing us huddled up backstage together?

00:18:04.760 She would have loved it.

00:18:06.320 It chokes me up.

00:18:07.460 I have so much to learn.

00:18:09.280 Sitting back there with you was very, very humbling.

00:18:11.860 I was just blown away.

00:18:13.200 You always make time to talk to me, always.

00:18:15.500 But today was really incredible.

00:18:17.520 I still can't believe you took the time to discuss the issues with you.

00:18:21.960 Joe Biden then forwarded that email to Hunter Biden, to Beau Biden,

00:18:26.820 and to Valerie Biden Owens, who's Joe Biden's sister.

00:18:29.560 Now, look, it is weird, Ben, for the sitting Vice President of the United States to have,

00:18:39.180 what are we up to, five, six fake and bogus email addresses?

00:18:44.960 Why do you have fake and bogus email addresses?

00:18:48.300 Why do you have burner phones?

00:18:49.900 Well, I got to ask you this question, because I saw on TV today, there was some commentator

00:18:56.420 that said, well, look, you don't understand.

00:18:58.280 When you're a government official, if you're an elected official, you have, many have at

00:19:03.360 least a half dozen email accounts.

00:19:05.760 I don't know anyone who has that.

00:19:06.640 That's just normal operating procedure.

00:19:08.340 Nope.

00:19:08.880 Nope.

00:19:09.300 That is a very weird thing.

00:19:12.100 I literally do not know anyone in politics or government who has anything like that.

00:19:18.140 You know, one of the addresses he used, and this is a report of the New York Post,

00:19:22.640 Joe Biden wrote to his son Hunter and others close to him using the pseudonym Peter Henderson.

00:19:28.140 Now, who is Peter Henderson?

00:19:29.720 A fictional Soviet Union-era spy in several Tom Clancy novels who infiltrated the U.S. government.

00:19:37.300 Those messages are contained on Hunter's laptop and show the then vice president using that

00:19:47.320 name in October 2016 while forwarding a YouTube video to his son Hunter, his brother Jim, his

00:19:54.340 daughter-in-law Hallie, as well as his sister and political strategist, Valerie Biden-Owens.

00:20:01.420 Now, that is, that's weird.

00:20:05.440 Look, most people in government, you, you, you, you'll have an official email and, and

00:20:10.820 you'll typically have a personal email.

00:20:12.700 And sometimes if you're around long enough, maybe you'll replace one personal email with

00:20:17.440 a second personal email.

00:20:18.760 That, that much is not weird.

00:20:21.080 But, but Joe Biden appears to have been using four, five, six emails all at the same time.

00:20:28.280 And all of them on the face of it are designed to conceal what he was communicating and what

00:20:36.660 he was saying.

00:20:37.140 Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their 1.00

00:20:42.520 elected leaders, and the world around them.

00:20:44.600 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.

00:20:48.320 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:20:49.500 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:20:50.700 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.

00:20:54.480 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their

00:20:59.600 journey.

00:21:00.160 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.

00:21:03.200 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:21:09.160 I want to move to another issue, Senator, and it's one that is, deals with energy independence.

00:21:14.600 It also deals with what we're witnessing now in Iran.

00:21:17.320 The amount of money that Iran is making right now from oil is upwards of, I've been seeing

00:21:25.220 some numbers that are billion dollars a day is what they're selling.

00:21:30.080 These numbers are staggering.

00:21:33.420 There are many that are screaming right now, and they're saying, hey, this shouldn't be

00:21:37.800 happening.

00:21:38.720 There are sanctions that should just be enforced, not needing to pass new sanctions to stop

00:21:44.120 this country that's sponsoring terrorism, especially against Israel with Hamas, Hezbollah.

00:21:49.720 They've helped ISIS and Al-Qaeda. 0.99

00:21:51.080 They are openly saying they want death to America and death to Israel and to wipe us off the face

00:21:57.680 of the earth, and yet we're not enforcing this all at the same time while we are hurting

00:22:03.940 in this country from a lack of energy independence, which makes them richer.

00:22:08.080 When we stop doing things here and we go into this green alternative energy, it's just making

00:22:13.920 them richer, which means they can sponsor more terrorist activities around the world.

00:22:18.380 And it's something that you've really dived into in this book that comes out on Tuesday

00:22:24.280 that people need to get their hands on.

00:22:26.840 Your new book, Unwoke, is going to be out on Tuesday of next week.

00:22:30.020 You can pre-order it now.

00:22:31.320 But this is something you've been talking about, the Democrats' obsession with green alternative

00:22:35.620 energy and how it's actually helping the most dangerous people and terrorists in the world

00:22:41.320 by having this policy.

00:22:42.940 Well, so Iran right now is selling 2 million barrels of oil a day.

00:22:49.600 So they're not making billions per day.

00:22:52.340 Right now today, the price of a barrel of oil is about $82 a barrel.

00:22:57.420 That means Iran is making about $160 million a day from selling oil, and the bulk of that

00:23:03.740 they're selling to communist China.

00:23:05.060 We assume China is actually paying less than that.

00:23:09.260 So let's say they're making $140 to $150 million a day, although we don't know what price China

00:23:15.100 is paying them.

00:23:17.820 2 million barrels a day, what that has produced for the Ayatollah over the last three years

00:23:24.320 is about $80 billion.

00:23:26.960 That is funding Iran, which is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism.

00:23:33.060 It is funding Hamas. 0.98

00:23:34.860 It is funding the death squads that are murdering Israelis and murdering Americans. 0.93

00:23:38.620 It is funding the rockets that are raining down from the sky and murdering Israelis. 0.91

00:23:43.800 It is funding the drones that Iran is providing to Russia that Russia is using to attack and 0.79

00:23:50.260 kill Ukrainian soldiers.

00:23:51.720 So while Biden is giving billions to Ukraine, he's also giving billions to Iran and funding 0.87

00:23:57.180 both sides of the war.

00:23:58.200 Now, that makes no sense at all, but the point you made, and this is something that I emphasize

00:24:08.640 in this new book.

00:24:09.660 The new book, as you said, is called Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.

00:24:17.340 And the book walks through all of the institutions in our nation that have been seized by the radical

00:24:22.520 left, and it lays out how they were seized, why it happens, it tells stories, but it also

00:24:28.120 lays out a strategy to defeat them.

00:24:30.060 And the final chapter is on China, and it describes how China is a central nexus that links them

00:24:37.260 all.

00:24:38.000 And one of the points that I make in the book, and this is a point that is rarely understood,

00:24:41.960 and it has to do with science and the Green New Deal, which is right now today, the United

00:24:47.680 States is the world's leader in oil production and natural gas production.

00:24:51.880 America produces roughly 20% of all the oil and gas produced worldwide, and we are a net

00:24:58.500 energy exporter.

00:24:59.800 We produce more than we consume, so that is incredibly valuable to have energy independence.

00:25:06.400 What do the Democrats want us to do?

00:25:08.320 They want to shift our energy usage entirely to energy produced by wind and solar.

00:25:13.840 And who controls wind and solar?

00:25:17.340 And the answer to that is Communist China. 0.83

00:25:19.280 So here are some of the stats.

00:25:21.660 China controls refining capacity for 73% of the world's cobalt, for 40% of the copper, for

00:25:31.600 59% of the lithium, for 68% of the nickel, and for 83% of rare earth minerals.

00:25:40.860 And every one of those is necessary for wind and solar power.

00:25:46.560 And when it comes to finished products that the Democrats want to produce all of our domestic

00:25:52.100 energy, China is responsible for 80% of global solar panels manufacturing, for 70% of global

00:26:03.580 wind turbine manufacturing, and 77% of global lithium-ion battery manufacturing.

00:26:12.320 So every time you hear a Democrat, every time you hear the corporate media say, we must move

00:26:17.920 from oil and gas to wind and solar, understand what they're saying.

00:26:22.000 We need to shift our entire economy from an energy source that America controls and that 0.98

00:26:27.920 we are dominant globally in, to an energy source that China controls and that they are dominant 0.99

00:26:34.660 globally in.

00:26:35.460 And we should give Communist China the power at any moment they want to cripple our economy 0.96

00:26:42.100 and shut down our ability to access energy.

00:26:45.680 That makes no sense.

00:26:46.940 And I've got to say, in the national energy debates we have, very, very few people are

00:26:52.880 making what I think is this very important point.

00:26:55.840 When you were writing this book, and I encourage people to go ahead and pre-order it now, it

00:27:00.420 comes on Tuesday, you wanted to look at these issues and bring them to light, obviously, as

00:27:06.160 we're going into this very important election cycle.

00:27:09.440 It's the presidential election cycle, because this is really about the future of this country.

00:27:13.420 Well, it is.

00:27:15.140 Look, our country is in crisis.

00:27:17.060 I wrote this book because lots of people are saying, what the hell happened?

00:27:21.360 How did we wake up and find every major institution?

00:27:24.560 Look, you look at our universities and you see these rabid anti-Semitic protests, anti-Israel

00:27:30.020 protests, and what's happened is the viciously left-wing Marxist forces have taken over many

00:27:39.140 of our universities.

00:27:40.040 You look at K-12 education, at the garbage being taught to our kids, critical race theory 0.99

00:27:45.700 and radical transgender theory. 0.98

00:27:47.720 You look at how journalism has been broken.

00:27:50.940 You look at how government has been broken.

00:27:52.400 You look at big tech.

00:27:53.520 You look at big business.

00:27:54.720 You look at entertainment, at movies.

00:27:56.640 This book, every one of the chapters in this book focuses on a different institution that

00:28:02.000 the radical left has taken over.

00:28:04.180 And I explain how it happened.

00:28:05.760 And look, one of the things that I try to do in this book, this is not an academic book.

00:28:10.220 This is not an abstract treatise.

00:28:12.740 This book is designed to be fun, designed to be readable, designed to tell stories and

00:28:17.760 give you information that's useful.

00:28:20.240 Look, the stats I just laid out on the critical minerals and rare earth minerals that are needed

00:28:27.240 for wind and solar.

00:28:29.120 You haven't heard those anywhere else.

00:28:30.800 That's designed to give you the tools.

00:28:34.780 The book has the same purpose as the podcast.

00:28:37.480 The reason you and I put so much time into this podcast is I want to equip our listeners.

00:28:43.620 I believe our listeners are the patriots who are going to save America.

00:28:47.520 And I want to equip you with the news, with the information, with the facts, with the data,

00:28:52.180 with the evidence, with the arguments to know what's going on to fight to save the country.

00:28:58.600 And so that's what this book is all about.

00:29:00.200 It is getting you prepared, but also, you know, giving you something to read that's fun and

00:29:06.440 interesting.

00:29:07.000 And by the way, the book, I think, makes, you know, we're heading into Christmas.

00:29:10.700 It makes a great Christmas gift, which is you ought to get one for yourself and get one

00:29:14.680 for your mom, get one for your son, get one for your next door neighbor, because the entire

00:29:19.660 purpose of this book is to get as many people as possible to read it and to hear and understand

00:29:25.660 what's happening in our country, because that's the only way we're going to turn it around

00:29:30.280 and bring our country back.

00:29:32.080 No doubt about it.

00:29:33.340 And it's going to be just one aspect of this book that we're going to start highlighting

00:29:37.520 so that you guys know what's in there.

00:29:39.040 But make sure you grab a copy, preorder it now wherever you buy your books.

00:29:43.740 Patriot Mobile for 10 years has been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.

00:29:49.120 And when I say only, trust me, they are literally the only one.

00:29:52.940 The team at Patriot Mobile are incredible because they are an American-based company with an American-based

00:29:59.060 call center that helps proud Americans just like you that are conservatives and Christian

00:30:04.480 know that when they pay their bill every month, you're actually making a difference and standing

00:30:09.040 up for what you believe in.

00:30:10.620 So stop sending your money to woke companies that are fighting against your values. 0.74

00:30:15.020 You may not realize it, but Big Mobile, they have been giving millions to liberal Democrats

00:30:20.540 and to places like Planned Parenthood.

00:30:24.360 Well, Patriot Mobile has decided to do something else.

00:30:27.120 And I love this about them as a company.

00:30:29.180 For every verdict listener that switches your cell phone provider to Patriot Mobile, they

00:30:34.480 are going to make an initial donation to a organization that helps protect the lives of unborn children.

00:30:42.700 It is pretty awesome.

00:30:44.140 And then every month when you pay your bill, they take a portion of your bill at no extra cost

00:30:48.340 you and they give it back to hardcore conservative Christian organizations.

00:30:52.240 They stand up for freedom of speech, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, the Second

00:30:57.080 Amendment, as well as our military, our veterans, and first responder heroes.

00:31:01.240 So you're going to have a bill every month for a cell phone.

00:31:03.560 Why not put it with a company that fights for what you believe in?

00:31:07.280 100% U.S.-based customer service team is there to help make switching easy.

00:31:12.260 You can keep your same cell phone number you have now.

00:31:14.660 Keep your same phone or upgrade to a new one.

00:31:28.480 972-PATRIOT or PatriotMobile.com.

00:31:32.020 Finally, Senator, I want to ask you about the FBI Director, Ray, and his testimony that he

00:31:37.680 delivered.

00:31:38.560 It is some shocking testimony.

00:31:40.960 Here is part of what he had to say before Congress.

00:31:43.820 But as I said a few moments ago, on top of the homegrown violent extremists and domestic

00:31:50.500 violent extremists threat, we also cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas 1.00

00:31:56.480 or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks

00:32:02.720 here on our own soil.

00:32:05.100 I mean, Senator, you hear Christopher Wray saying this.

00:32:09.020 It's something that, unfortunately, we've talked about so much.

00:32:12.640 You've got an open border.

00:32:14.360 You've got these types of people that get into this country. 1.00

00:32:17.220 And the threats are real.

00:32:18.860 Look, the threats are incredibly real.

00:32:21.160 I've said multiple times.

00:32:22.580 I think the risks, the likelihood of a major terrorist attack on U.S. soil is higher today

00:32:32.000 than it has been any point since September 11th.

00:32:35.600 And, you know, as I hear Chris Wray saying that, listen, as you know, I know Chris Wray

00:32:40.060 quite well.

00:32:40.900 For years, he has been annoyingly and counterfactually and bizarrely saying the greatest threat we 0.98

00:32:48.220 have is from homegrown terrorists and they're from white supremacists, they're from Nazis 0.99

00:32:53.000 and Klansmen. 1.00

00:32:54.000 And listen, Nazis and Klansmen are idiots. 1.00

00:32:56.680 They're bigoted morons. 1.00

00:32:58.140 They're bad people. 1.00

00:32:59.400 No dispute there.

00:33:01.540 But the last I check, we don't have this rising wave of Klansmen.

00:33:05.640 But like they're not Nazis that are suddenly attacking America.

00:33:11.740 And frankly, the FBI focusing on that over and over again, it fit into the political narrative

00:33:17.200 the left wanted.

00:33:18.220 And it utterly discarded global jihadists who have pledged to murder as many Americans as

00:33:25.140 they have, they can, and who are actively trying to do so.

00:33:28.700 And so my reaction, the fact that Chris Wray said there's a real risk right now that Hamas 0.99

00:33:34.180 terrorists may, quote, conduct attacks here on our own soil, my reaction is, holy crap, 0.82

00:33:40.720 what does he know now that has suddenly forced him to say that publicly, that he's like, uh-oh, 0.80

00:33:46.060 this might happen really soon.

00:33:48.580 And I at least want something on the record so that they can't claim I was blindsided by

00:33:52.900 it.

00:33:53.620 It's obvious our southern border is wide open.

00:33:56.480 There's a major risk of terrorists coming across.

00:33:58.760 But the fact that Chris Wray said that right now worries me enormously.

00:34:04.920 I don't know any classified information that he might have that says that they know of Hamas

00:34:11.040 terrorists in the United States.

00:34:12.340 But the fact that he's saying that, I think, is very worrying.

00:34:16.980 Yeah, it is.

00:34:17.600 And it's obviously an issue that this administration refused to deal with, with an open border and

00:34:23.360 terrorists coming across the border as well.

00:34:25.460 Don't forget, we do this show Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

00:34:28.000 We also have a recap of the weekend on Saturdays of the week that we just had.
