It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you, and it's the Week in Review.
00:00:11.900
These are the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:00:15.640
First up, Biden caught on a hot mic at the State of the Union, basically trashing Bibi
00:00:23.260
We'll have the latest behind what that actually means.
00:00:25.540
Plus, Katie Britt discusses Biden apologizing for calling an illegal immigrant an illegal.
00:00:33.920
Also responsible for allegedly killing a young girl in Georgia.
00:00:38.640
And finally, the Biden administration decides to quietly try to give $10 billion to Iran
00:00:47.220
It is the Week in Review, and it starts right now.
00:00:51.000
Finally, I want to move on to one other issue real quick, and that is
00:00:55.260
we found out what Joe Biden was saying as he decided to hang out on the floor of the House
00:01:00.820
for, I don't know, about an hour after the State of the Union.
00:01:03.180
He was caught on a hot mic, and his staff was just, I mean, closing their eyes, shaking their heads.
00:01:12.580
When Joe Biden was talking about what's going on in Israel
00:01:23.440
I was telling your secretary, you know, I was in Jordan and Israel last weekend, and who is it?
00:01:46.320
You know, you've got to keep pushing what you're doing on the humanitarian stuff and all this stuff.
00:01:58.900
Sir, just, just, just, I'm not going to put it.
00:02:05.060
Senator, you can hear Joe Biden there, and for people that maybe had a hard time hearing exactly what he said,
00:02:13.920
give a little bit of a play-by-play here of what he was saying,
00:02:17.540
and this is a president that's basically saying, oh, yeah, I'm going to take my hand off of Israel.
00:02:21.900
So, the quote, if you had a hard time hearing it, but the hot mic picked it up, he said, quote,
00:02:28.220
I told him, Bibi, and don't repeat this, but you and I are going to have a come-to-Jesus meeting.
00:02:36.880
And so, he's bragging to a fellow Democrat about how he was threatening the prime minister of Israel,
00:02:45.860
Benjamin Netanyahu, his nickname is Bibi, but, number one, let me just say, look, you and I are both Southern Baptists.
00:02:54.320
We both believe Jesus is our Savior, but I've got to say, just saying to the Jewish prime minister of Israel,
00:03:02.460
we're going to have a come-to-Jesus meeting as a way to, like, beat the hell out of him,
0.81
00:03:07.740
if a Republican had said that, the media would lose their minds.
00:03:12.800
It's so insensitive on so many different levels.
00:03:19.300
And understand what he means, the come-to-Jesus meeting.
1.00
00:03:22.200
What he means is, you stupid Israeli, stop killing Hamas terrorists.
1.00
00:03:30.900
We're going to force you, as a response to October 7th,
00:03:36.360
to allow the Hamas terrorists who murdered 1,200 Israelis,
0.61
00:03:42.500
1,200 Jews who kidnapped Americans, who murdered Americans.
00:03:46.680
We're going to force you to allow them to create their own state where they can engage in acts of terror like this over and over and over again.
00:03:55.540
It is the anti-Israel animus in this administration and in, sadly, today's Democrat Party.
00:04:09.180
And this shows, this is how Biden talks behind closed doors.
1.00
00:04:14.160
I'm going to beat up these damned Israelis.
1.00
00:04:22.240
Well, and it's shocking, but it also goes hand-in-hand with him basically pandering to the extreme left that is all about Hamas
00:04:30.040
and supporting the terrorists and the Palestinian protesters that are supporting these terrorists who butchered children,
00:04:36.140
who took hostage 80-year-old women, grandmothers, and put babies in ovens to burn them for sport.
00:04:46.360
You also have a president during the State of the Union to appease them, said,
00:04:50.660
Hey, we're going to order the U.S. military to construct a port in Gaza to increase the aid flow there.
00:05:00.660
By the way, you know words that Joe Biden didn't say?
00:05:04.060
He didn't say, we will utterly and completely destroy Hamas.
00:05:07.560
He didn't say, as Israel defends itself, we have your back.
00:05:18.260
That's what a real American president would say.
00:05:21.040
That's what an American president defending America, defending our allies would say.
00:05:25.700
But instead, today's Democrat Party, the cultural Marxists, the radical leftists,
00:05:32.440
if they see a battle between Jews and Palestinians, they define Jews as the oppressors.
00:05:43.200
And any cultural Marxist, he supports the violent revolution of the victims against the oppressors.
00:05:51.060
And so the consequence, what is Joe Biden bragging about when he thinks he's in private?
00:05:58.940
He's bragging that he's berating the prime minister of Israel.
00:06:03.400
And mind you, at a time when the prime minister is defending his nation at war after a massive attack,
00:06:12.760
the worst mass murder of Jews in a single day since the Holocaust.
00:06:22.380
Well, and building this pier, the question I have for you is, does this put American troops in harm's way?
00:06:28.780
Because that's the question that everybody should be asking this president.
00:06:35.140
About 186 American troops have been injured or killed in attacks on U.S. personnel in the Middle East since mid-October,
00:06:42.640
when the attack by the Hamas terrorists happened on Israel.
00:06:47.740
And of those, 130 have been traumatic brain injuries.
00:06:52.220
And that's been confirmed by the Pentagon this week on Monday.
00:06:55.520
And yet you have a president that acts like building this pier is no big deal at all.
00:07:03.620
And the thing to understand is today's Democrat Party.
00:07:07.280
Listen, Biden has an open revolt within his State Department, within his White House,
00:07:13.060
because today's Democrat Party, particularly the young people,
00:07:21.140
Mind you, the Biden administration has given hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza that went straight to Hamas.
00:07:27.500
Mind you, the Biden administration has flowed $100 billion to Iran,
00:07:33.080
which is the principal funder for Hamas and for Hezbollah.
00:07:37.000
And all of that you have, I got to say, it is really distressing just how radicalized the Democrat Party has become
00:07:45.900
and how much they have normalized anti-Semitism in their party.
00:07:54.160
And it's something we're going to have to work together to fight.
00:07:57.380
Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
00:08:00.000
you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.
00:08:06.640
More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:08:10.800
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:08:17.040
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women,
00:08:20.560
entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers,
00:08:26.460
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:08:29.700
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:08:37.760
By the way, one of the biggest controversies coming out of the State of the Union was,
00:08:42.200
one, you didn't even have a chance to get to respond to.
00:08:48.660
Biden used the word illegal immigrant when he was referencing the person who's been accused
00:09:06.640
But now he's gone on, in essence, an apology tour to the illegal immigrant who was accused
00:09:18.880
I don't think anyone thought that this was actually going to happen or be a controversy
00:09:24.520
But the biggest controversy from his whole night is actually now this.
00:09:28.880
Notice the look of surprise on your face when you walked into the chamber and you saw Congresswoman
00:09:38.800
But during your response to her heckling of you, you used the word illegal when talking
00:09:44.440
about the man who allegedly killed Lakin Riley.
00:09:52.220
And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I
00:09:56.720
talked about in the border was the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about
00:10:03.040
I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.
00:10:05.800
I'm not going to treat any of these people with disrespect.
00:10:13.620
We have to control the border and more orderly flow.
00:10:23.640
I'm sorry, basically, to the illegal immigrant for saying he's an illegal immigrant, not talking
00:10:32.160
And that was something you didn't even get a chance to bring up because it hadn't, in
00:10:38.260
And I mean, I still can't wrap my head around this.
00:10:42.420
You have him apologizing for, quote, mislabeling her murderer.
00:10:48.780
But not only did he not take that opportunity to correct her name, but the reporter didn't
00:11:02.780
They don't care about the things that they should.
00:11:15.660
Number one, his little aside saying they built this country.
00:11:19.240
No, Joe, illegal immigrants did not build the United States of America.
1.00
00:11:24.660
But number two, think about the priorities.
0.81
00:11:29.700
He comes off of, and I got to say, I think there are now two images that sum up the 2024
00:11:38.680
Number one, there is the image of the illegal immigrants in New York City who beat up two
00:11:42.940
New York cops, were arrested, were released without bail, and they came out with both hands
00:11:50.860
And that image, flipping the bird, right and left hand, is what Joe Biden and the Democrats
00:11:59.880
And image number two is the contrast, right after the State of the Union, of Donald Trump
00:12:05.240
with Lake and Riley's family hugging his mother.
00:12:08.660
Which is actually what someone who's a president who gives a damn about the American people,
00:12:13.520
who, like, is siding with our families, our moms, our kids, and simultaneously Joe Biden
00:12:21.860
is on MSNBC apologizing because he referred to this murderer as an illegal.
00:12:30.680
He's an illegal and a murderer, and he never should have killed Lake and Riley.
0.99
00:12:39.220
And the only reason he was free to do so is because Joe Biden chose to let him go.
00:12:44.540
And not only that, Sanctuary City, New York City, let him go again.
00:12:48.560
And that is why that beautiful 22-year-old woman is dead now.
0.98
00:12:53.420
And too, like, when you hear him do that, and you can't help but be enraged that not
00:13:00.300
only that this is what our president of the United States is choosing to focus on, but
00:13:05.440
But I think people should see we have a very clear choice in November, and this says it
00:13:13.560
You have President Biden over here apologizing for mislabeling her murderer, and then you
00:13:23.860
And I think that is all Americans need to know.
00:13:30.860
And if you side with illegal alien murderers, well, you probably should vote for Joe Biden.
00:13:36.260
If those are your peeps, if that's where your allegiance is.
00:13:39.280
By the way, MSNBC, CNN, they're all voting for Joe Biden because their allegiance is actually
0.72
00:13:45.840
And by the way, you know, not only did Joe Biden not properly say Lakin Riley's name, he
00:13:53.780
Jeremy Caceres, beautiful two-year-old boy, murdered in Prince George's County, Maryland,
00:13:59.120
just a couple of weeks ago, again by another illegal alien Joe Biden released.
00:14:03.440
He didn't mention any of the American, of the teenagers who have been violently raped
0.95
00:14:10.040
He takes no responsibility for his own culpability.
00:14:14.200
And it is, you really couldn't ask for a clear contrast.
00:14:17.960
And then also you think about fentanyl poisonings, and you think about the decisions that have
00:14:22.860
He inherited the most secure border that our country has had.
00:14:29.480
He chose to stop construction of the border wall.
00:14:32.740
He, I mean, he chose to say, I'm going to give amnesty to millions.
00:14:36.260
This is the thing that was so frustrating about the liberal media.
00:14:39.540
It's like these policies and then the 94 executive orders in the first 100 days are acting as magnets,
00:14:47.660
And he is putting every one of those men, women, and children in harm's way.
00:14:55.520
You know, we've talked about some of the horrific things that are happening to them on their way
00:15:02.480
It is a not only national security crisis, but a humanitarian crisis that no reporter is
00:15:09.240
You know, and they're choosing, you focused earlier, you said, you know, about sex trafficking.
00:15:14.180
They're not telling the story of human trafficking and what's happening under him.
00:15:18.340
Well, and you and I have both looked in the eyes of women and children who have been brutally
00:15:27.500
And when you see the pain, the agony, it sticks with you.
0.98
00:15:37.880
And I got to say, you know, Katie, just listening to you talk about this, you're making far too much sense.
00:15:49.620
And if you're making sense, you've got to be cuckoo as Cocoa Pops.
00:15:54.420
And I guess, you know, when you get in the arena, which the irony is in my remarks, you
00:16:00.300
know, I wanted to leave people with hope, Ted, because I believe that I believe in the people
00:16:08.280
And I believe in what we're built on and wanted to encourage everyone to get in the arena because
00:16:15.500
that's what we need them to do because we are literally fighting for the heart and soul
00:16:20.500
We are fighting for the future for our children.
00:16:26.620
Well, I found out real quick that I am in the arena.
00:16:33.560
If you're fighting for what families need, you're being a voice for the voiceless.
00:16:38.920
Then I'll take those arrows, Ted, all day long, because that is what we're going to have to
00:16:46.300
do in order to get this country back on track and speak truth to power.
00:16:52.820
And they want to silence anyone who doesn't think just like them.
00:16:57.340
And to use a military analogy, if you're not taking flack, you're not over the target.
00:17:06.900
So I would take, I was actually, I thought you did a terrific job, but I was actually
00:17:12.540
even happier with the job you did by seeing the freak out of the media.
00:17:17.660
Because to be honest, if you'd sucked, they wouldn't have said anything.
0.98
00:17:21.380
If it were bad, they would have been like nothing to see here.
0.97
00:17:24.620
And so that they squeal this loudly tells you a great deal.
00:17:28.860
Well, and I do think you've got, here you have the president literally for an hour and
00:17:33.560
seven minutes, I guess is what you said it was, yelling and giving a political speech
00:17:39.700
in a space where he's supposed to be bringing our country together.
00:17:42.380
Um, and then, you know, even, you know, as I mentioned, tried to leave the country with
0.56
00:17:51.440
And I said, our, the, our nation's history is written with the grit and men, the grit of
00:17:56.820
men and women who got knocked down, but we know their stories because they did not stay
00:18:06.040
And this is one of those moments where I'm just going to have to stand back up because
00:18:11.480
And, and we have got, every voice has got to be lifted loud because there are people
00:18:16.440
that are counting on us, whether it is what's happening at our border, whether it is families
00:18:23.300
I don't think, and I said this in my remarks as well, but I mean, I actually drove carpool
00:18:29.140
the day that I gave the state of the union response.
00:18:35.580
Well, you know, actually you and Biden have something in common because he was actually hanging
00:19:02.500
And so when I was in pickup line, actually the, uh, the head of the middle school was
00:19:08.640
She had the little, um, you know, the little walkie talkie and she, you know, was, and I
00:19:18.860
Um, so ran carpool, did all the things, but you think about like, when's the last time
00:19:24.720
When's the last time you went to the grocery store and saw that eggs are like off the charts
00:19:28.860
and the price of meat and milk and all of the things.
00:19:32.320
And when's the last time he went and filled up his car with gas?
00:19:34.780
Because I promise you, it just gets more and more and more.
00:19:38.420
And you think this man is trying to make us energy dependent.
00:19:42.420
He went to the store and he brought, bought buttermilk and molasses from corn pop.
00:19:51.940
I think he maybe went to something or maybe when he went to his beach retreat, uh, he had
00:19:57.840
But, uh, but seriously, you know, and you think about, and I, you know, when I go walking
00:20:02.320
with my friends in the morning and I listen to the things they're concerned about, you know,
00:20:09.600
And so if bringing a voice to that, if I get some flack for it and, you know, obviously,
00:20:30.060
And I, and the, Hey, and the more they try to silence me, which by the way, they're doing
00:20:34.340
It's a, I had to give a speech this morning, Ted, and I walk up there and you can tell everybody
00:20:41.740
Because they're thinking she has just been plummeted for the last solid four days.
00:20:46.760
And we've seen her and, uh, in a number of memes and this and that.
00:20:51.380
And, um, I think, you know, the, the scary mom one was also a good one because I thought,
00:20:56.960
you know what, that means they really are afraid because everybody knows when your mom
00:21:01.080
goes into scary mom mode, like get out of the way because stuff's about to get done.
00:21:08.700
I mean, just don't move over because we're about to take care of business, right?
00:21:15.380
There are a lot of moms in America who are pissed off at everything that's happening and
1.00
00:21:21.140
And it wasn't the, the angry, bitter way that Biden did it, but it was, if you're paying
00:21:30.760
Listen, if you were Lake and Riley's mom, like, like imagine number one, the grief and
00:21:37.780
agony you feel, but imagine the fury you feel that this was unnecessary and, and it's a result
00:21:44.060
of a political agenda that said your family doesn't matter.
00:21:48.280
And by the way, the next person murdered by an illegal alien that Joe Biden lets in,
0.98
00:21:53.620
they're going to feel the same way and they keep, they keep doing this.
00:22:01.560
He stood up there and flippantly said that, said her name wrong.
00:22:04.680
You know, it just, it, I thought you have got as a mom.
1.00
00:22:08.340
And by the way, his response, he said, well, she was killed by an illegal, but how many are
00:22:20.580
So what you're saying is that your crime policy is terrible also, and there's lots of murders.
00:22:28.540
Well, gosh, we're killing even more Americans.
0.74
00:22:30.520
That, that, that is, and of course, no scrutiny from, from the corporate media on anything.
00:22:35.820
And he also, he's killing the American dream because he's continuing to put Americans last.
00:22:42.340
And you, we, only thing we can ask for is an opportunity to achieve, opportunity to try
00:22:48.100
And you look at him and he continues to put policies in place that, that limit anyone's
00:22:54.840
ability to, to, to, to try and achieve because he's prioritizing a liberal agenda above, above
00:23:04.060
I mean, it's everything from energy to the border, to, to prices.
00:23:08.780
I mean, that's one thing, Ted, like I'm on the banking committee and I cannot believe the
00:23:17.180
I mean, all of the ESG and the D, I mean, it just, it is tremendous.
00:23:21.780
So I feel like at every turn we are having to fight to preserve what I know this nation
00:23:26.780
was founded on and to try to preserve it for our kids.
00:23:33.800
Like I said, this morning, when I got up to give that, those remarks, everyone was on
00:23:37.400
And I said, Hey guys, I, uh, haven't, haven't had access, uh, to, uh, Twitter.
00:23:43.700
Is there anything going on that I need to know about?
00:23:45.820
And the whole, the whole crowd, uh, whole crowd started, started laughing, but have, have
00:23:55.420
So as before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go
00:24:01.120
back and download the podcast from early this week to hear the entire thing.
00:24:05.780
Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their
1.00
00:24:12.060

00:24:43.420
I last week was asked to go to the Israeli console and, and have a meeting and an update
00:24:49.900
on what's happening right now, specifically with the number of people that are still being
00:24:59.720
And, and there was a book that we were able to, to look at and see the faces of the people
00:25:05.640
that are still being held hostage that you hope are alive, that you know are being kept
00:25:11.080
in unimaginable conditions and we know that they have tortured and raped and killed many
00:25:21.500
But when you look at these pictures, Senator, and, and you, you and I have talked about what
00:25:25.320
that video looked like that you saw, you look at these people and I, it is sad to me that the
00:25:31.680
media has not done a better job of, of humanizing.
00:25:34.300
There were people in their upper eighties who couldn't defend themselves against being
00:25:42.100
There were infants and toddlers murdered and raped.
0.81
00:25:50.940
And, and, and there was the elderly that couldn't defend themselves or even get out of their
0.99
00:25:55.640
I mean, they were at the mercy of the attackers and you look at the people that they took
00:26:00.540
They wanted nobody in Israel to ever feel safe again.
0.63
00:26:09.660
They wanted everyone to feel like they could be next and that they were coming for them
00:26:15.480
Like you said, whether it's toddlers in their cribs or a, or a 90 year old great, great
00:26:20.340
grandmother, they, this was psychological warfare on the most grotesque and horrific level.
00:26:31.560
This was a terrorist organization that used countless warriors to do this.
00:26:37.900
Well, and, and, and understand that's not one isolated event.
00:26:42.540
Chuck Schumer's disgraceful speech is not one isolated event.
00:26:46.700
This is comprehensive throughout the Biden administration and throughout congressional Democrats.
00:26:52.760
Just in the last 24 hours, Joe Biden and Biden administrations, they gave Iran a $10 billion
00:27:04.140
Explain that, by the way, because it sounds complicated, but I really think it's important
00:27:09.800
Because we already given them billions in actual cash.
00:27:12.160
So I will, but I want to underscore just what's happened in the last 24 hours.
00:27:17.300
In the last 24 hours, they gave Iran a $10 billion sanctions waiver.
00:27:21.780
They also, the Biden administration directly sanctioned Israeli Jews.
00:27:26.620
They also said Israel's top priority should be aiding Gazans, and the majority leader of the Senate
00:27:35.560
demanded the overthrow of Israel's democratically elected government in the middle of a war.
00:27:46.900
Well, the Biden administration on Wednesday re-approved a sanctions waiver that unlocks $10 billion
00:27:55.940
in frozen funds for the Iranian government, and this was according to a notice submitted
00:28:04.900
The sanctions waiver allows Iraq to transfer electricity payments to Iran via third-party
00:28:12.880
The sanctions waiver was last approved by the Biden administration in November, and it was
00:28:17.980
set to expire this month, but they just reissued that waiver.
00:28:49.480
And that is this week after October 7th, after Americans have been targeted over and over
00:28:59.540
How does one even mount an argument that giving $10 billion to an Ayatollah who repeatedly chants
0.74
00:29:08.380
death to America is in any way, shape, or form in the interest of the United States of America?
00:29:16.400
It's not, and yet that's exactly what they're doing.
00:29:19.160
And understand also that the antipathy to Israel and to Netanyahu, it's not new.
00:29:28.540
Look, when Netanyahu was elected, Biden refused to call him.
00:29:34.740
It took enormous public pressure for him to call him.
00:29:38.420
Biden has still not welcomed Netanyahu to the White House.
00:29:41.720
He said Netanyahu is not welcome in the Biden White House.
00:29:48.000
This was long before his alleged concerns about Gaza.
00:29:56.940
Lula is an anti-American, pro-Iran thug, the leader of Brazil.
00:30:03.260
When Lula was elected, Biden called him immediately.
0.55
00:30:12.140
Here's what Biden tweeted when Lula was at the White House.
00:30:15.660
It was great sitting down with my friend and partner in democracy.
00:30:22.720
If you're an enemy of America, Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer, they like you.
00:30:28.840
And if you are a friend of America, especially if you are Israel, they actively undermine you at every step.
0.99
00:30:39.960
I believe this is not just should be one of the top issues of this election cycle coming up.
00:30:47.680
I actually believe this is one of the top issues of our lifetime.
00:30:53.200
How do conservative candidates explain this and do a better job of explaining the history of Israel?
00:31:02.340
Especially because if you look at the polling, it's so concerning to me how many people, 35 and under, are standing now with terrorists over Israel.
00:31:12.640
We've got to change the conversation to let them understand this.
00:31:17.800
How did we lose so easily, so quickly, an entire generation to stand with Israel instead of standing with the terrorists?
0.80
00:31:24.740
And what do candidates need to do and how do they need to talk about this?
00:31:36.560
Young people are barraged with propaganda, and the propaganda is telling them lies.
00:31:43.700
Look, I was just a couple of days ago in the airport.
00:31:47.720
I was standing in Chicago getting on a plane to fly back to D.C., and this young leftist began berating me and filming.
00:31:58.380
But berating me, saying, why do you stand for genocide?
00:32:01.740
Why do you stand for Israel committing genocide?
0.99
00:32:04.040
And I happily engaged him, and I said, I stand unequivocally with Israel and understand you are on the side of murderers and terrorists who torture and rape little children and who rape women.
0.99
00:32:19.200
You are standing on the side of evil, and Israel is right to utterly defeat Hamas because they are evil.
0.98
00:32:26.960
And he just kept going on and on and on and about, no, no, no.
00:32:33.800
This was a guy, I don't know, he was about 25 years old.
00:32:36.320
He was a young leftist who said it's been debunked.
00:32:39.240
October 7th, that Hamas committed those murders and rapes he claimed has been debunked.
00:32:45.000
And I said, you know, I'm really sorry that you're a young man who's just been lied to and deluded.
00:32:55.140
But he happily believes it, and I couldn't help but turn to him and say, you know, I have to assume if this were World War II, you'd be rooting for the Nazis.
0.90
00:33:07.280
And he got offended at that, and he said, I'm actually Jewish American.
00:33:13.200
But there are people, there are young people, who've just been lied to.
0.99
00:33:19.360
They're ignorant, and they have been buffeted with propaganda.
0.88
00:33:25.580
Look, it's one of the reasons for this podcast, is we're trying to give people the truth.
0.99
00:33:33.080
It is, the lines here, this is not gray, it is black and white.
00:33:40.100
But between genocidal mass murderers and people defending innocent civilians, you shouldn't be on the fence with which one you stand.
00:33:51.180
You shouldn't be seeking some moral relativity of, well, they're both in the wrong.
00:33:56.500
No, no, there is nothing good, there is nothing redeemable about people who murder little children, who kidnap little children, who rape women, who do it in a degrading, animalistic way.
00:34:09.140
That is who Hamas is, and Israel has every right to defend itself.
1.00
00:34:21.960
To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen a single Democrat senator denounce what Chuck Schumer did yesterday.
00:34:35.620
And so, and listen, I know a lot of people who are voters that still want to vote Democrat and they have other issues they care about and they think about and they try to rationalize.
00:34:50.660
But this was the Democratic leader in the United States Senate.
00:35:00.820
So Joe Biden, who just gave $10 billion to Iran now after October 7th.
00:35:07.760
And I mentioned a minute ago the sanctions on Israel.
00:35:10.160
Yesterday, the Biden administration put even more sanctions, but they only applied it to Jews.
00:35:21.540
And I recently questioned Biden's nominee to be sanctions are.
00:35:28.000
And there was an executive order that is essentially targeting Jews.
00:35:31.680
And he claimed, and basically, they want to make it illegal to be Jewish and living in Judea and Samara.
00:35:39.700
And he said, well, no, no, no, it doesn't target Jews.
00:35:43.300
And so I asked him, I said, well, have you sanctioned any Palestinians who are supporting terrorism in the West Bank?
00:35:52.100
And then after the hearing, you walked out and they sanctioned even more Jews.
0.89
00:35:55.680
This is prevalent throughout the administration, and it is becoming the position of congressional Democrats.
00:36:02.640
