Verdict with Ted Cruz - BONUS POD： Burned Alive, Shot, Raped： The Brutality of Oct 7th as seen from Ben's Pilgrimage to Israel

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.880 Biggest thing is the filibuster.

00:00:07.960 We have to get the country going.

00:00:10.340 We will pass legislation at levels you've never seen before.

00:00:14.100 And it'll be impossible to beat us.

00:00:15.840 By the way, if they do, they're going to do it anyway.

00:00:18.780 And they are going to immediately do the filibuster.

00:00:21.220 And when they do the filibuster, they're going to pack the court.

00:00:24.140 They want five, at least five justices.

00:00:26.180 Now I hear it's up to five.

00:00:27.680 I actually heard up to seven and up to nine, okay?

00:00:31.420 And they will do it the first day, maybe the week.

00:00:34.940 Maybe they'll slow it down.

00:00:36.560 And I have friends over there that are Democrats, very close to a lot of people.

00:00:41.600 They're going to make D.C. a state, and they're going to make Puerto Rico a state.

00:00:46.460 So now they pick up two states.

00:00:48.020 They pick up four senators, okay?

00:00:50.960 You think you have problems?

00:00:52.660 They're going to do all of the things.

00:00:53.900 They're going to pick up electoral votes. 1.00

00:00:55.320 It's going to be a very, very bad situation.

00:00:58.540 And it's done.

00:00:59.680 It's done.

00:01:00.300 As soon as they attain power.

00:01:01.980 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.

00:01:05.880 Good Thursday morning.

00:01:06.940 It is so nice to be with you live from Israel right now.

00:01:10.480 And I have got a lot that I want to share with you on the 47 Morning Update.

00:01:14.520 We are going to get back to politics as normal, I can promise you.

00:01:17.440 But I was able to have an incredible day, a heavy and hard and sad day, visiting the site

00:01:25.180 of the music festival, meeting with survivors, going to the kibbutz that were attacked by

00:01:31.220 Hamas, and the children that were murdered, talking to their family members, including victims

00:01:36.320 as young as nine months old that were killed for sport.

00:01:39.340 I was able to go to a military base that was overrun right at the border with Gaza and the 0.50

00:01:44.660 girls that were killed and raped for sport, all because they were Jewish. 1.00

00:01:49.360 But first, I want to tell you about our friends over at Patriot Mobile. 0.80

00:01:52.260 Every so often, something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.

00:01:57.480 We can't afford to take our rights for granted.

00:02:00.200 We must draw a line in the sand.

00:02:02.600 And our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for more than 12 years.

00:02:07.380 The truth is, there is only one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans who 0.63

00:02:13.520 believe freedom is worth fighting for.

00:02:15.520 And that company is Patriot Mobile.

00:03:41.340 I'm going to tell you those stories today.

00:03:44.800 It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts from Israel right now.

00:03:49.660 Story number one.

00:03:50.820 I want to just take a moment to give you a recap of what I have witnessed in the last 24 hours

00:03:57.580 as I have been in Israel.

00:03:59.780 And I can tell you that not only is Israel an incredible nation,

00:04:04.600 but I would encourage all of you to do a pilgrimage and to witness what life is like in Israel.

00:04:10.780 I was blessed to be able to do some incredibly hard things over the last 24 hours.

00:04:17.060 And this is not normally what this show sounds like,

00:04:20.160 but I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to be, for many of you, your eyes here on the ground.

00:04:25.500 I've been able to travel to the north, to the border with Syria and Lebanon.

00:04:31.100 I've been able to see where Hezbollah attacks from.

00:04:34.980 I've been able to tour the wreckage in the neighborhoods that were hit.

00:04:38.240 I've been able to sit with the victims and tell their stories to you.

00:04:42.600 I also have gone to the complete opposite side, to the west.

00:04:47.640 I've been able to go and see the kibbutz that were attacked,

00:04:51.640 where families were slaughtered, including seeing the home where those nine-month-old little children

00:04:57.580 that were taken and killed by Hamas happened.

00:05:02.080 I was able to meet with the victims and go to the site of the horrific attacks at the music festival,

00:05:08.220 where friends gathered just to dance and they were brutally murdered and taken hostage and raped by the radicals of Hamas.

00:05:18.220 I went to the playgrounds where children were bombed,

00:05:21.680 met with the families where children were killed playing soccer,

00:05:24.200 and also met on the military base that was overrun at the border with the West Bank,

00:05:29.880 where girls were raped and then shot and executed, who served in the Israeli army.

00:05:36.000 What I have witnessed is pure evil. 0.68

00:05:38.840 What I have walked through in the homes is pure evil. 0.98

00:05:42.360 They came from a group of terrorists who were soulless, 1.00

00:05:46.380 and their only objective was to kill Jews. 0.99

00:05:49.220 I want to start by going to the tour of the kibbutz, 0.98

00:05:53.500 because it was the hardest place I think I've ever been,

00:05:56.980 the hardest thing I've ever witnessed,

00:05:58.920 to go into what is a neighborhood that would remind you of your neighborhood,

00:06:03.280 or the neighborhood where you grew up as a kid, maybe.

00:06:05.980 It was a genuine community, a community of families, by the way,

00:06:10.440 many of them that were related to one another,

00:06:12.440 where grandparents would live in one home,

00:06:14.660 where grandkids and their children live in another home,

00:06:17.920 where aunts and uncles may be down the street,

00:06:20.680 where cousins played.

00:06:22.060 I mean, when I'm talking about community,

00:06:23.240 I'm talking about a tight-knit community,

00:06:25.700 where they worked together.

00:06:27.560 And as I met with the victims who were there,

00:06:30.520 who toured and showed me their homes,

00:06:32.580 told me how they survived and how their family members,

00:06:35.140 many of them were killed,

00:06:36.280 there was one constant theme,

00:06:38.620 and that was a theme that these people came,

00:06:41.180 and they didn't care who they killed.

00:06:43.820 They just wanted to say, 0.99

00:06:45.060 I killed a Jew. 1.00

00:06:46.280 I sat in front of the house where those nine-month-old children were taken. 0.98

00:06:51.640 You may have seen that video that went viral of a mother clinging to these two children,

00:06:55.920 these two newborns, young children,

00:06:57.700 one of them, I mean, nine months old,

00:06:59.260 and hearing the story of how they were taken

00:07:02.080 and how the father was taken as well.

00:07:04.740 He came out to fight.

00:07:05.720 He actually talked to his wife,

00:07:08.040 and he said,

00:07:08.580 are we fighting or are we going to give up?

00:07:10.860 And she said, we fight.

00:07:11.940 In other words,

00:07:12.360 are we going to try to survive by not fighting?

00:07:14.880 Are we going to try to survive by fighting?

00:07:16.820 And he went out of the house,

00:07:18.000 and he had a handgun,

00:07:19.880 which was no match for the literally,

00:07:23.260 at one point,

00:07:23.880 hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of fighters

00:07:26.980 that came across the border from Gaza.

00:07:30.080 And he was taken by the terrorists,

00:07:32.420 and many others were slaughtered there.

00:07:34.180 Many of the children were shot and killed,

00:07:37.040 and the families were shot and killed in front of the door,

00:07:39.880 their safe,

00:07:40.740 their bomb shelter,

00:07:42.340 their safe room in their homes.

00:07:43.920 One of the things that was interesting about these safe rooms,

00:07:46.920 and every house had a safe room because you're so close to the border,

00:07:49.500 and there's so many bombings that happen,

00:07:51.480 is that most of the people did not have a lock on the inside of their safe room,

00:07:57.520 which for many of them became death rooms.

00:07:59.500 And you may say to yourself,

00:08:00.440 why would you not have a lock on your safe room?

00:08:02.240 And it was the question that I asked.

00:08:04.180 He said,

00:08:04.460 because these rooms were designed to keep us safe from bombs

00:08:07.440 that were exploding in shrapnel,

00:08:09.000 and you didn't lock them on purpose,

00:08:11.200 because if your home did get hit,

00:08:12.940 then others would need to come in and drag you out,

00:08:15.680 hopefully to safety,

00:08:16.800 to try to save your life.

00:08:18.700 The room was only created to help protect you from a bomb

00:08:23.720 that came in constantly from the terrorist organization Hamas,

00:08:27.640 that was backed by Iran.

00:08:28.780 And so the majority of people in these kibbutz 0.99

00:08:33.120 did not have a simple latch to keep that door shut.

00:08:36.280 One of the men that was one of the survivors was shot,

00:08:39.160 and he was saving his family's life,

00:08:41.220 and he was sitting beside the door,

00:08:43.240 having to hold the door shut,

00:08:44.540 as on the other side of the door, 0.69

00:08:45.660 the terrorists are trying to kill him.

00:08:47.280 There were many family members that were killed,

00:08:50.480 that were holding the door shut from the terrorists on the other side,

00:08:53.760 and eventually they just used their machine guns

00:08:55.600 to just put constant bullets through the door, 0.52

00:08:59.620 and they would kill the family that was protecting the children. 0.70

00:09:02.560 And then in many scenarios, 0.99

00:09:03.860 they would just set the house on fire and burn the children alive.

00:09:07.200 I want you to think about what I just said.

00:09:08.940 Imagine your neighborhood,

00:09:10.620 every house being invaded,

00:09:12.500 systematically door to door,

00:09:14.280 you're either drug out to the street and killed,

00:09:16.460 you try to fight back against hundreds of invaders,

00:09:20.160 which you're not going to win,

00:09:21.700 or you're burned alive and your children are burned alive, 0.82

00:09:24.860 or you're taken hostage. 0.99

00:09:26.520 That is all because they were Jewish. 0.98

00:09:29.080 Walking through this kibbutz, 1.00

00:09:30.580 looking at the pictures that were put at the front of each house

00:09:33.700 of who lived in that house,

00:09:35.440 it was heartbreak.

00:09:36.500 Seeing how the place had been, in essence,

00:09:38.680 left exactly how it was on that day.

00:09:41.960 Seeing the bicycles leaning up against the homes.

00:09:45.460 Seeing the tricycles that were pushed over outside the front door

00:09:49.680 where you would leave most outside toys.

00:09:51.880 Seeing the basketball goals and the basketballs

00:09:53.860 that had not moved since the day these people were slaughtered.

00:09:56.760 And going into the homes

00:09:58.360 and seeing where these people took their last breaths,

00:10:01.640 where they lost their lives,

00:10:03.320 and knowing what they must have felt

00:10:04.920 looking at the bullet holes coming through the doors

00:10:07.340 of their safe rooms

00:10:08.540 that were supposed to keep them safe from bombs.

00:10:10.580 And the kibbutz that I went into, 0.76

00:10:12.320 the worst part about it

00:10:13.780 was that nobody came to save them from the military.

00:10:16.960 They're the one kibbutz where the military didn't show up.

00:10:19.900 Now, you may ask yourself why,

00:10:21.160 and it was a question I did,

00:10:21.960 like, how is that even possible?

00:10:23.580 And what I found out from going to a military base

00:10:26.140 that was also overrun,

00:10:28.380 and the girls there went to their safe room 1.00

00:10:31.020 that was six in the morning.

00:10:32.440 There was 30 to 40 girls

00:10:34.860 who were serving in their military,

00:10:36.640 and only four of them were armed

00:10:38.500 because they were woken up by the attack.

00:10:41.440 And they were overrun by terrorists on their base.

00:10:44.520 They didn't have time to get into their uniforms

00:10:47.700 or even grab their guns,

00:10:49.480 so there was only four of them that were armed.

00:10:51.560 And they were huddled down,

00:10:52.940 and they were hiding,

00:10:54.020 trying to save their lives

00:10:55.260 on their own military base,

00:10:57.120 something they could have never imagined

00:10:58.360 was going to happen.

00:10:59.500 And many of their commanders

00:11:00.600 had already been killed outside

00:11:01.880 trying to defend the base.

00:11:02.980 They were being overrun.

00:11:03.840 And so what I learned was

00:11:04.800 is the majority of people

00:11:05.920 that were higher up in the military in Israel

00:11:08.580 were killed in the first hour of the attack.

00:11:12.100 And so then chaos erupted

00:11:13.640 because no one was giving orders anymore

00:11:15.880 because everyone that had the ability

00:11:17.540 to give orders had died.

00:11:18.640 Now, something that's interesting about Israel

00:11:19.960 is a little bit different than our military

00:11:22.160 is the commanders are always the highest ranked

00:11:25.480 at the front leading the charge.

00:11:27.780 They do not stay back to give orders.

00:11:30.440 And so the entire seniority of the military

00:11:34.660 in Israel was just decimated during this attack.

00:11:38.720 So some of the military

00:11:41.140 that was trying to respond to this cabal

00:11:42.800 took fire before they could even get close to it

00:11:46.120 from another conflict

00:11:47.740 and other warriors that invaded the country.

00:11:50.180 It wasn't that they didn't try to come.

00:11:51.520 It's because they literally couldn't

00:11:52.760 because they were then under attack

00:11:54.380 and engaged to terrorists,

00:11:55.260 and many of them were dying as well.

00:11:56.920 But what I witnessed on the military base

00:11:59.580 was so horrific

00:12:00.960 because the military command center

00:12:03.200 where the girls were inside 0.91

00:12:04.760 trying to get help

00:12:06.280 and talking and explaining

00:12:07.700 that they were under attack

00:12:08.640 and then the base had been infiltrated.

00:12:10.380 The people they were talking to

00:12:11.440 had already been killed outside of the base.

00:12:13.620 And what the terrorists did 0.64

00:12:14.780 is they burned them alive. 0.94

00:12:15.960 One of the young girls

00:12:16.680 that did survive the attack

00:12:18.060 talked to me about her two friends

00:12:19.600 that were found clinging to one another

00:12:21.660 as they burned alive

00:12:22.740 in the military command center.

00:12:24.360 She also told the story of how

00:12:26.120 when the terrorists found the young soldiers,

00:12:29.020 they're 18 years old girls,

00:12:30.720 in the shelter,

00:12:31.880 they started to grin

00:12:33.100 and started to chant,

00:12:34.620 Allah Akbar, Allah Akbar,

00:12:36.380 because they knew

00:12:37.540 that they had found them 0.97

00:12:38.640 and then they could massacre them. 0.61

00:12:40.540 They then turned their guns 0.99

00:12:41.700 on these girls 0.57

00:12:42.460 all in the shelter 0.97

00:12:43.560 and just started executing them.

00:12:45.540 The four girls

00:12:46.320 that had guns shot back.

00:12:48.220 They then retreated a little bit

00:12:49.840 and then started to throw in hand grenades

00:12:51.560 to blow them up. 0.68

00:12:52.580 The majority of these girls

00:12:53.500 were in their pajamas.

00:12:55.280 Why were they being killed?

00:12:56.360 Because of one reason,

00:12:57.340 they were Jewish.

00:12:58.340 They were Jewish.

00:12:59.220 They then went room to room

00:13:00.560 on the base

00:13:01.600 and they separate the bases

00:13:03.120 with women bases 1.00

00:13:03.980 and men bases in the military

00:13:05.260 and women serve in the military. 0.99

00:13:06.820 Everybody in Israel 0.72

00:13:07.580 that's a citizen

00:13:08.360 in essence serves two years

00:13:10.360 in the military.

00:13:11.300 It's truly incredible.

00:13:12.620 And they would find girls 0.78

00:13:13.580 and they would take them out. 1.00

00:13:15.040 They would then rape them. 1.00

00:13:16.300 The other girls that were hiding 0.99

00:13:17.260 could hear the rapes happening

00:13:18.760 and then they would hear the gunshots. 0.97

00:13:20.680 After they'd raped the girl, 1.00

00:13:21.840 they would then shoot the girls 1.00

00:13:23.020 and kill them 1.00

00:13:23.600 and leave them outside of their rooms dead. 1.00

00:13:26.400 And this happened for hours.

00:13:28.740 It's no different

00:13:29.500 than what happened

00:13:30.220 at the festival

00:13:31.740 where I also went

00:13:33.040 and met with a survivor.

00:13:34.680 A man, a young boy

00:13:36.160 in his upper teens

00:13:37.900 who went with 10 of his friends

00:13:39.920 and only, I think he said,

00:13:41.480 three of them survived.

00:13:43.320 Why were they killed

00:13:44.120 going to a music festival?

00:13:45.340 Because they were Jewish. 0.87

00:13:46.600 They were killed by Hamas 0.76

00:13:47.760 because Hamas wants to kill 1.00

00:13:49.560 and exterminate every Jew 1.00

00:13:51.080 from the river to the sea. 1.00

00:13:52.500 They were in the middle

00:13:53.240 of basically nowhere

00:13:54.680 at this music festival,

00:13:55.780 a beautiful area with trees.

00:13:57.320 They were there to dance

00:13:58.420 and celebrate with their friends.

00:14:00.020 They were at a music festival

00:14:02.180 to love one another

00:14:03.460 and to enjoy a great day of music.

00:14:06.920 And he said that

00:14:07.580 when the red alert went off,

00:14:09.100 which if you're Israeli,

00:14:10.140 you have on your phone,

00:14:11.260 they thought it was just going

00:14:12.540 to be bombs that happened.

00:14:14.460 Many people went to run to safety

00:14:16.680 to some of the bomb shelters.

00:14:18.900 And that ended up being

00:14:19.820 where they were slaughtered.

00:14:21.060 Because as soon as the terrorists

00:14:22.460 got there,

00:14:23.040 they would just go in

00:14:24.080 and they would open the door

00:14:25.000 and they would throw a grenade 0.99

00:14:26.060 or they would just slaughter them. 0.83

00:14:27.420 There was also nowhere 0.75

00:14:28.660 to really hide.

00:14:29.520 I want you to understand this.

00:14:30.600 The trees at the festival

00:14:32.120 are very skinny.

00:14:33.600 They remind me

00:14:34.400 of like a small branch tree

00:14:37.440 in America.

00:14:38.580 There's not a big trunk

00:14:39.680 like oaks

00:14:40.560 or, you know,

00:14:42.620 larger trees.

00:14:44.180 These are like crepe myrtles

00:14:46.080 is the best way

00:14:46.820 I can describe it.

00:14:47.740 There's no protection there.

00:14:49.100 And you have people

00:14:50.920 that are paratrooping in.

00:14:52.460 You have people arriving in cars.

00:14:53.960 You have people arriving

00:14:54.840 on motorcycles

00:14:55.520 and they're just mowing you down.

00:14:57.260 You look at the hundreds

00:14:59.220 and hundreds of pictures

00:15:00.600 and I put some of this

00:15:01.280 on social media.

00:15:02.460 They were slaughtered.

00:15:03.080 They're almost all young.

00:15:04.480 They're all there

00:15:05.100 with their friends

00:15:05.920 and there was nowhere to hide.

00:15:07.840 There was the famous bar

00:15:09.140 that was there

00:15:09.840 where you could go

00:15:10.600 and buy a drink

00:15:11.260 at like any music festival.

00:15:12.840 You know what they look like.

00:15:13.840 They're kind of square.

00:15:14.640 They've got a little fence.

00:15:15.560 You go in,

00:15:16.020 you get something to drink,

00:15:16.780 you go back to the concert.

00:15:18.100 It was the prime place

00:15:19.740 where people would think

00:15:20.580 to go for shelter.

00:15:22.000 And when the jihadists got there,

00:15:23.700 when Hamas got there, 0.74

00:15:24.920 they looked at the people

00:15:26.160 hiding,

00:15:26.640 holding each other

00:15:27.560 and they just mowed them down

00:15:29.240 for sport

00:15:30.080 while they were chanting

00:15:31.340 and smiling

00:15:32.420 because they knew

00:15:33.280 they were going to get to kill 1.00

00:15:34.360 so many Jews 1.00

00:15:35.280 and the plan worked.

00:15:36.540 I am going to have more

00:15:37.700 to say on this

00:15:38.660 in the future.

00:15:40.060 But what I can tell you is

00:15:41.560 this is evil

00:15:42.580 at a level

00:15:43.720 that I,

00:15:44.860 the only way I can describe it

00:15:46.220 is satanic.

00:15:47.100 I am so sad

00:15:48.480 for the people

00:15:49.240 that lost their lives.

00:15:50.300 I now know their faces.

00:15:51.880 I now know their stories.

00:15:53.120 I hope to continue

00:15:53.840 to tell them to you.

00:15:54.820 But whether it's the kids

00:15:56.080 that were killed

00:15:56.640 playing soccer,

00:15:57.620 whether it's the kids

00:15:58.380 going to a music festival,

00:16:00.520 whether it's the nine-month-old child

00:16:02.080 who was taken hostage

00:16:03.100 for propaganda

00:16:03.960 from Hamas

00:16:04.620 and the mother

00:16:05.760 who the mother

00:16:06.700 and the two small children

00:16:07.860 who couldn't defend themselves

00:16:09.160 were killed,

00:16:09.960 whether it was the older men

00:16:11.480 that were in their 80s and 90s

00:16:12.940 that couldn't even get out

00:16:14.160 of their house

00:16:14.500 that were burned alive

00:16:15.440 for sport,

00:16:16.500 or the girls on the bases 1.00

00:16:17.800 that were burned alive

00:16:18.780 for sport

00:16:19.500 on the military base 0.98

00:16:20.600 or were raped 0.80

00:16:21.320 in front of their friends 0.98

00:16:22.180 and then shot

00:16:22.860 four times in the back.

00:16:24.020 What I can tell you

00:16:25.200 is the entire country

00:16:26.600 of Israel

00:16:27.120 is the enemy 0.63

00:16:27.920 of the state

00:16:29.560 and these attacks

00:16:30.360 came from Gaza.

00:16:32.240 How would you live

00:16:33.120 next to people

00:16:33.820 that plan and do this

00:16:34.980 and celebrate this?

00:16:36.700 Remember,

00:16:37.100 they were calling home.

00:16:38.120 We have the audio

00:16:39.360 and the text messages

00:16:40.300 of them calling home

00:16:41.040 going,

00:16:41.320 Dad, Mom,

00:16:42.240 telling their parents, 1.00

00:16:43.380 I killed a Jew, 1.00

00:16:44.400 I killed a Jew. 1.00

00:16:45.400 And the dad 1.00

00:16:46.220 and the parents

00:16:46.760 are telling the child

00:16:47.780 how proud they are

00:16:48.600 they just went 1.00

00:16:49.140 to kill a random Jew. 0.98

00:16:50.840 This is my generation's 1.00

00:16:52.420 Holocaust 0.95

00:16:52.760 and it's being

00:16:54.080 whitewashed.

00:16:55.200 And the scary part

00:16:56.000 is the rise

00:16:56.580 of anti-Semitism

00:16:57.440 in the U.S.

00:16:58.060 has skyrocketed as well.

00:16:59.860 Israel is our ally

00:17:01.620 for a reason.

00:17:02.740 We can debate

00:17:03.340 if they get it all right

00:17:04.220 and by the way,

00:17:05.080 the police officers

00:17:05.980 that I met with

00:17:06.720 who were overrun,

00:17:07.520 who were also killed,

00:17:08.620 who told their story

00:17:09.480 said that Israel

00:17:10.120 doesn't always get it right.

00:17:11.860 In fact,

00:17:12.240 they have lots of criticism

00:17:13.460 of their government

00:17:13.980 for how wrong

00:17:14.580 they got it

00:17:15.060 on the October 7th,

00:17:16.380 surprise,

00:17:17.180 and how there was

00:17:18.120 major failures

00:17:19.200 in their government

00:17:19.820 to not know

00:17:21.500 this was going

00:17:22.180 to happen.

00:17:23.180 But I have met

00:17:23.700 so many brave men

00:17:24.740 and women, 1.00

00:17:25.440 citizens,

00:17:26.400 who put on a uniform

00:17:27.380 and have fought

00:17:28.040 to defend their country

00:17:29.140 for the last two years

00:17:30.280 and live in a constant

00:17:31.780 state of alertness

00:17:33.200 where sirens going off

00:17:34.700 and bombs going off

00:17:35.600 is normal.

00:17:36.740 And to see

00:17:37.320 what they live,

00:17:38.880 how they live

00:17:39.680 is truly remarkable

00:17:40.740 because they want

00:17:41.820 to be safe

00:17:42.720 as Jews

00:17:43.540 and it's the only place

00:17:44.620 in the Middle East

00:17:45.120 where they feel like

00:17:45.740 they can be safe.

00:17:46.660 God bless them.

00:17:47.980 I'll keep their stories alive.

00:17:49.960 I'll tell you more stories

00:17:51.060 moving forward.

00:17:52.200 We'll get back

00:17:52.760 to the biggest stories

00:17:53.640 coming out of the White House

00:17:54.740 and politics in America

00:17:56.000 but this was important

00:17:57.080 for me to take a moment

00:17:58.100 and just tell you

00:17:59.000 what I saw.
