Verdict with Ted Cruz - Chinese and Cuban Communists FUNDING Anti-Israel Protests

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.500 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.360 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.

00:00:08.120 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.700 Senator, it's amazing the left has been obsessed for years

00:00:13.320 about foreign interference in this country

00:00:16.320 and obviously in elections,

00:00:17.860 and they went with all the big Russia hoax with Donald Trump.

00:00:21.220 But now we have a story with two major countries

00:00:25.560 that are having significant influence in America right now,

00:00:30.460 and no one's talking about it, much less cover it.

00:00:34.320 Well, Ben, that's right.

00:00:35.200 And what we're going to talk about in today's podcast

00:00:36.900 is something that you will not see on the news

00:00:39.400 that is not getting covered anywhere,

00:00:40.720 which is the direct involvement of communist China

00:00:45.460 and communist Cuba

00:00:47.580 in the anti-Israel, anti-Semitic, anti-American protests

00:00:52.360 that are happening across this country.

00:00:53.940 And this is, look, there have been two reports

00:00:59.160 that have come out in the last week

00:01:00.420 that are tracing the money from communist China,

00:01:03.760 the activists from communist Cuba

00:01:05.840 that are driving this.

00:01:07.360 And again, the media is ignoring it.

00:01:10.780 It's why this podcast matters,

00:01:12.420 because we're going to cover and lay out the evidence

00:01:15.440 that is going to trouble you deeply

00:01:17.300 that America's enemies want this country ripped apart,

00:01:21.260 and they are funding the mayhem we are seeing

00:01:24.500 on our college campuses.

00:01:25.620 They are trying to destroy this country.

00:01:28.080 And sadly, there are a whole lot of elected Democrats

00:01:30.640 in Washington who are on board with that.

00:01:35.180 Yeah, and the worst part is they probably think

00:01:36.680 they're getting a really good return on this investment.

00:01:39.240 We're going to expose it all.

00:01:40.740 There's something else I love about doing this show,

00:01:43.480 and it is that we get to tell you

00:01:45.520 about incredible organizations and groups

00:01:47.620 that are doing amazing things.

00:01:49.660 And one of those groups is pre-born.

00:01:52.440 If you take your hand and you put it over your heart,

00:01:55.660 you can hear, you can feel your heartbeat

00:01:58.780 telling you that you're alive.

00:02:01.060 Well, it is the same for a pre-born baby.

00:02:03.420 Their heart begins to form at conception,

00:02:05.620 and at just three weeks, it is already beating.

00:02:08.480 At five weeks, a baby's heartbeat can be heard

00:02:10.480 on an ultrasound, and that's where you come in.

00:02:13.600 We partner with pre-born

00:02:14.940 because we need to help these precious babies.

00:02:17.080 And every day, pre-born's network of clinic rescues

00:02:21.300 200 babies from abortions.

00:02:25.180 Because when a mother with an unplanned pregnancy 0.97

00:02:27.820 meets her baby on ultrasound

00:02:29.660 and hears her baby's heartbeat,

00:02:33.040 it is a divine encounter that doubles a baby's chance at life,

00:02:38.420 meaning that mother is going to choose life. 0.94

00:02:41.540 This is exactly why I want you to partner with pre-born.

00:02:44.980 For just $28, you could be the difference

00:02:48.340 between the life or death of a child,

00:02:50.720 and all gifts are tax deductible.

00:02:52.920 You can donate, and it's easy,

00:02:55.100 by dialing pound 250,

00:02:57.480 and just say the keyword, baby.

00:02:59.940 That's pound 250,

00:03:02.060 say the keyword, baby.

00:03:04.020 You can also donate securely

00:03:05.720 at preborn.com slash verdict.

00:03:08.660 That's preborn.com slash verdict.

00:03:12.780 And if you want to just dial pound 250

00:03:15.360 and say the keyword, baby,

00:03:16.900 it is that easy.

00:03:18.380 You can help save a baby's life today.

00:03:22.200 Senator, let's talk about

00:03:24.300 a bigger overview picture.

00:03:27.880 We have known for quite some time,

00:03:30.300 but it's really come out recently,

00:03:32.200 that there was a lot of money coming in

00:03:34.280 from foreign nations

00:03:35.360 that are adversaries of the U.S.

00:03:36.720 into college campuses.

00:03:38.600 We now see what they were buying,

00:03:40.880 which was they were buying influence

00:03:42.760 over a generation.

00:03:44.300 We see massive donations

00:03:45.680 that went into the Biden-Penn Center,

00:03:47.480 for example,

00:03:47.980 directly from China.

00:03:49.500 And now we're saying

00:03:50.600 that it's not just buying influence

00:03:52.340 to change hearts and minds

00:03:54.200 of college students

00:03:55.180 at the Ivy Leagues

00:03:56.140 and other schools,

00:03:56.960 but now they've moved

00:03:58.280 into direct activism

00:03:59.960 with these campus protests,

00:04:02.480 which seems to be

00:04:03.500 phase two of their plan.

00:04:05.380 Ben, that's exactly right.

00:04:07.080 There's a major report

00:04:08.360 that came out on Monday this week

00:04:09.760 from NCRI.

00:04:11.500 NCRI is the Network Contagion

00:04:13.540 Research Institute.

00:04:15.140 This is the same group

00:04:16.140 that put out

00:04:16.820 the empirical studies of TikTok

00:04:18.780 and how the Chinese

00:04:19.760 communist government

00:04:20.600 was pushing communist propaganda

00:04:23.120 on TikTok.

00:04:23.900 And it led to ultimately

00:04:24.880 Congress passing the legislation

00:04:26.520 forcing the Chinese 1.00

00:04:28.540 communist government

00:04:29.320 either to sell TikTok

00:04:30.340 or shut down in the U.S.

00:04:31.760 So NCRI is a serious organization

00:04:35.780 that does serious research.

00:04:37.700 The report they put out,

00:04:39.140 I want to go into it in detail

00:04:40.860 because it's getting

00:04:41.700 very little coverage

00:04:42.940 and it should get

00:04:44.100 a lot of coverage.

00:04:45.460 Here's how it begins.

00:04:46.680 Quote,

00:04:47.760 This report analyzes

00:04:48.840 the activities

00:04:49.420 and foreign connections

00:04:50.300 of the Shut It Down

00:04:51.240 for Palestine,

00:04:52.160 SID4P movement 1.00

00:04:55.360 since its formation

00:04:56.300 in October 2023.

00:04:57.360 It examines SID4P's

00:05:00.560 use of protests,

00:05:01.880 direct action initiatives,

00:05:03.100 and sophisticated media campaigns

00:05:04.520 to advance anti-America

00:05:06.660 and anti-Israel narratives

00:05:08.940 both online and offline.

00:05:11.380 Additionally,

00:05:12.240 it highlights the involvement

00:05:13.560 of a network linked

00:05:14.460 to the Chinese Communist Party

00:05:15.860 that funds and supports

00:05:18.800 both alternative

00:05:20.120 anti-establishment media organizations

00:05:22.040 promoting anti-American initiatives

00:05:23.780 as well as seemingly

00:05:25.680 grassroots activist movements

00:05:27.740 such as and including

00:05:29.520 SID4P.

00:05:32.060 So, here are the key takeaways

00:05:33.520 and assessments.

00:05:35.100 Number one,

00:05:35.700 SID4P's emergence.

00:05:38.760 Shut It Down for Palestine 1.00

00:05:39.980 is an anti-capitalist,

00:05:41.980 anti-police,

00:05:43.260 and anti-government

00:05:44.160 protest movement

00:05:44.960 that emerged

00:05:46.120 after October 7, 2023.

00:05:48.120 It functions as a hybrid

00:05:49.300 online real-world network

00:05:50.960 for mobilizing frequent demonstrations

00:05:53.940 as well as a gradually escalating

00:05:57.800 direct action campaigns

00:05:59.480 targeting critical infrastructure

00:06:01.260 and public spaces.

00:06:04.240 Two,

00:06:05.480 SID4P's ties

00:06:07.080 to CCP-linked entities,

00:06:10.120 conveners,

00:06:10.980 or organizations operating

00:06:12.220 under the SID4P umbrella,

00:06:15.540 are members of the

00:06:16.700 Singham Network donor portfolio.

00:06:19.740 The Singham Network

00:06:20.600 is a global network,

00:06:21.980 global web of non-profits,

00:06:23.440 fiscal sponsors,

00:06:24.840 and alternative news sources

00:06:26.260 tied to Neville Roy Singham,

00:06:29.280 a known conduit

00:06:30.540 for CCP geopolitical influence.

00:06:34.200 Three,

00:06:35.240 SID4P's funding.

00:06:37.540 The Singham Network

00:06:38.380 exploits regulatory loopholes

00:06:40.520 in the U.S. nonprofit system

00:06:42.320 to facilitate the flow

00:06:43.640 of enormous sum of U.S. dollars

00:06:46.620 to organizations and movements

00:06:48.460 that actively stoke

00:06:49.980 social unrest

00:06:51.320 at the grassroots level.

00:06:52.480 Four,

00:06:54.380 alternative media

00:06:55.660 and social media strategy.

00:06:57.860 Alternative media outlets

00:06:59.120 associated with

00:06:59.880 the Singham Network

00:07:00.540 have played a central role

00:07:01.940 in online mobilization

00:07:03.500 and cross-platform

00:07:04.800 social amplification

00:07:06.020 for SID4P.

00:07:07.820 And five,

00:07:09.360 ties to extremist groups.

00:07:10.680 SID4P has ties

00:07:13.920 to extremist groups

00:07:14.920 that embrace

00:07:15.500 a violent single-state resolution

00:07:17.620 to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

00:07:20.440 At least one SID4P convener

00:07:22.940 is linked to the extreme edge

00:07:25.440 of pro-Palestinian groups

00:07:27.600 operating in the U.S.

00:07:28.900 that advance anti-American

00:07:30.460 and anti-Jewish agendas.

00:07:32.740 This is next level

00:07:35.740 and it's obviously

00:07:37.240 being orchestrated

00:07:38.280 at the highest levels

00:07:39.240 within these governments.

00:07:40.840 And it's not just China.

00:07:42.860 It's also Cuba

00:07:44.680 that is involved

00:07:46.340 in this as well.

00:07:47.400 And this seems to be

00:07:48.580 part two of their master plan.

00:07:51.060 China,

00:07:51.740 and I'm guessing on this one,

00:07:53.520 but based on what we've seen

00:07:55.260 from disclosures

00:07:56.640 on donations,

00:07:57.800 probably is giving

00:07:58.920 more money

00:07:59.520 to American universities

00:08:01.280 than any other nation

00:08:03.080 would be my guess.

00:08:04.180 And if they're not the top,

00:08:05.240 they're probably

00:08:05.840 one, two, or three.

00:08:07.680 I can't even imagine

00:08:08.760 who would be above them.

00:08:09.760 We see massive money

00:08:10.840 coming into the Ivy Leagues,

00:08:12.160 massive money

00:08:12.740 that came into

00:08:13.180 the Biden-Penn Center.

00:08:14.340 The list goes on and on.

00:08:16.240 But this is almost like,

00:08:17.520 okay,

00:08:17.980 how do we infiltrate a country?

00:08:19.900 How do we change

00:08:20.880 the opinion

00:08:21.460 of the people

00:08:22.520 in that country?

00:08:23.840 And then how do we

00:08:24.980 literally have revolutions

00:08:27.160 in that country?

00:08:28.520 And they're doing it all

00:08:29.900 in front of our very eyes

00:08:30.900 and no one seems

00:08:31.700 to be stopping it.

00:08:33.060 Well, that is right.

00:08:35.100 And if you look

00:08:36.140 at this report

00:08:36.900 from NCRI,

00:08:38.680 it details how China

00:08:40.260 is spending millions,

00:08:41.880 upwards of potentially

00:08:43.060 $100 million,

00:08:44.920 funding these protests

00:08:46.760 that are occurring

00:08:47.400 on campuses,

00:08:48.240 that are shutting down bridges,

00:08:49.380 that are shutting down airports.

00:08:51.100 And you might think,

00:08:52.560 okay,

00:08:52.740 what does China care 0.86

00:08:53.940 about Hamas?

00:08:55.560 What does China care 0.97

00:08:56.460 about Israel?

00:08:57.080 And the truth

00:08:57.960 of the matter

00:08:58.360 is they don't,

00:08:59.060 but they care about America.

00:09:00.280 They care about

00:09:00.820 tearing our country apart.

00:09:02.080 They care about chaos

00:09:03.280 and fomenting dissent

00:09:06.060 and dissension

00:09:06.880 that paralyzes our country.

00:09:09.120 Let me read another portion

00:09:10.260 from this report

00:09:11.060 from the NCRI.

00:09:12.120 Quote,

00:09:12.760 On the evening

00:09:13.620 of April 30th, 2024,

00:09:15.900 over 100 activists

00:09:17.240 gathered at the People's Forum,

00:09:19.440 a far-left nonprofit

00:09:20.660 in Manhattan

00:09:21.240 that describes itself

00:09:22.460 as a, quote,

00:09:23.200 movement incubator

00:09:24.160 for working class

00:09:25.520 in marginalized communities

00:09:26.780 to discuss

00:09:28.180 the ongoing Gaza encampments

00:09:29.840 on university campuses.

00:09:31.880 The activists

00:09:32.520 called on Columbia protesters

00:09:33.980 to recreate

00:09:34.800 the civil unrest

00:09:35.960 associated with,

00:09:37.920 quote,

00:09:38.340 the summer of 2020.

00:09:39.980 Remember,

00:09:40.240 the summer of love.

00:09:41.900 Hours later,

00:09:43.440 Columbia University's

00:09:44.740 Hamilton Hall

00:09:45.360 was forcibly occupied

00:09:46.860 and barricaded.

00:09:48.400 After the hall

00:09:49.340 was subsequently cleared

00:09:50.400 by law enforcement,

00:09:51.400 the New York Police Department

00:09:52.540 reported finding

00:09:53.540 industrial-grade chains,

00:09:56.580 gas masks,

00:09:57.720 earplugs,

00:09:58.580 helmets,

00:09:59.300 goggles,

00:10:00.300 hammers,

00:10:00.980 knives,

00:10:01.520 and ropes.

00:10:02.900 Following processing,

00:10:04.280 the Washington Post reported,

00:10:05.700 per NYPD,

00:10:07.320 that more than 25%

00:10:09.020 of the arrests

00:10:09.600 at Columbia University

00:10:10.660 and 60%

00:10:11.780 at the City College

00:10:13.080 of New York

00:10:13.800 were not students.

00:10:17.200 This is

00:10:18.080 communist China

00:10:19.080 paying real money

00:10:20.880 to disrupt America

00:10:24.200 and to sow dissension.

00:10:25.560 And by the way,

00:10:27.000 this group of conveners,

00:10:29.420 I'll read another portion

00:10:30.800 of the report,

00:10:31.420 SID 4P

00:10:32.680 was established

00:10:33.320 and structured

00:10:33.840 against the backdrop

00:10:34.680 of increased

00:10:35.280 pro-Palestinian activism

00:10:36.940 starting October 2023.

00:10:39.200 On November 1st,

00:10:41.380 SID 4P

00:10:42.380 officially registered

00:10:43.320 its domain,

00:10:44.020 shut it down

00:10:45.060 for Palestine.org

00:10:46.300 and launched its site

00:10:47.340 by November 6th.

00:10:48.700 By November 9th,

00:10:50.280 SID 4P

00:10:51.180 publicly lists

00:10:51.980 its seven core organizations

00:10:53.780 referred to as conveners,

00:10:55.900 as well as

00:10:56.760 numerous organizations

00:10:57.800 referred to as endorsers.

00:11:00.020 Reflecting the confluence

00:11:01.260 of far-left

00:11:02.080 and pro-Palestinian

00:11:03.100 radical activism,

00:11:04.600 the official

00:11:05.180 SID 4P conveners

00:11:06.740 include the following groups.

00:11:08.080 One,

00:11:08.420 the People's Forum.

00:11:09.320 Two,

00:11:09.620 Answer Coalition.

00:11:11.040 Three,

00:11:11.520 the International People's Assembly.

00:11:13.200 Four,

00:11:13.520 Al-Adha,

00:11:14.840 New York.

00:11:15.780 Five,

00:11:16.320 the National Students

00:11:17.200 for Justice in Palestine,

00:11:18.880 NSJP.

00:11:20.300 Six,

00:11:20.920 the Palestinian Youth Movement.

00:11:22.340 And seven,

00:11:22.800 the Palestinian American

00:11:23.920 Community Center,

00:11:24.900 New Jersey.

00:11:26.060 The seven conveners

00:11:27.320 of SID 4P

00:11:28.900 can be divided

00:11:29.580 into two distinct groupings

00:11:30.960 based on ideological affiliation

00:11:32.620 and fiscal sponsorship.

00:11:34.160 The coalition's

00:11:35.240 far-left members,

00:11:36.180 namely the People's Forum,

00:11:37.300 IPA,

00:11:37.700 and Answer Coalition,

00:11:39.380 demonstrate significant

00:11:40.640 financial personnel

00:11:41.780 and operational overlap.

00:11:43.520 The remaining four conveners

00:11:45.540 are all pro-Palestinian

00:11:46.780 activist organizations

00:11:47.900 with at least two,

00:11:49.460 NSJP and Al-Adwa,

00:11:51.680 known to have ties

00:11:53.540 to U.S.-designated

00:11:54.940 terrorist organizations.

00:11:56.200 In addition to NSJP

00:11:59.360 and Al-Adha,

00:12:01.300 among SID 4P's endorsers

00:12:04.420 is Samuduwan,

00:12:07.240 which some Western

00:12:08.280 intelligence services

00:12:09.500 classify

00:12:10.080 as a front

00:12:11.740 for the PFLP,

00:12:13.360 the Popular Front

00:12:14.120 for the Liberation of Palestine,

00:12:15.440 which is designated

00:12:17.140 as a foreign terrorist organization

00:12:19.360 by the United States,

00:12:21.740 Germany,

00:12:22.080 and Israel.

00:12:23.700 So the question

00:12:24.760 that everyone

00:12:25.620 I think that's listening

00:12:26.580 right now is asking

00:12:27.320 is how is this then legal?

00:12:29.420 And if there's direct ties

00:12:30.620 that are going back

00:12:31.460 to terrorism,

00:12:32.600 how is, again,

00:12:33.600 this legal?

00:12:34.860 And if foreign funds

00:12:36.280 are coming in

00:12:36.840 from our adversaries

00:12:37.920 to pay

00:12:40.040 and fund

00:12:40.980 this anarchists

00:12:42.460 on college campuses,

00:12:44.220 how is that legal?

00:12:45.700 Is there anything

00:12:46.500 that the government

00:12:47.120 can do to say

00:12:47.920 we're not going to

00:12:48.800 allow this to happen

00:12:49.620 and we're talking

00:12:50.160 about the finances

00:12:51.240 of this?

00:12:52.620 Well, look,

00:12:53.020 there should be

00:12:53.460 an enormous amount.

00:12:54.700 The Department of Justice

00:12:55.720 should be investigating this.

00:12:57.100 The FBI should be

00:12:58.120 investigating this.

00:12:59.020 We've got money

00:12:59.600 coming from Communist China

00:13:01.000 behind these protests,

00:13:02.700 behind these anti-American,

00:13:03.960 anti-Israel protests.

00:13:05.420 We've got money

00:13:06.220 coming from organizations

00:13:07.460 that have close ties

00:13:08.800 to designated

00:13:09.780 terrorist organizations.

00:13:11.720 And so whether it is

00:13:12.620 Hamas and Hezbollah 0.98

00:13:13.520 pushing this,

00:13:14.360 whether it is

00:13:14.940 affiliated allies

00:13:16.280 of theirs pushing this,

00:13:17.520 whether it is Iran

00:13:18.240 pushing this,

00:13:18.960 or whether it is

00:13:19.820 Communist China

00:13:20.540 pushing this,

00:13:21.560 the FBI ought to be

00:13:22.760 all over it.

00:13:23.360 And I've got to tell you,

00:13:24.120 Ben,

00:13:24.740 my level of confidence

00:13:26.340 that the FBI

00:13:27.120 and the Department of Justice

00:13:28.060 is even looking at this

00:13:29.660 is incredibly low.

00:13:31.580 Because, sadly,

00:13:33.300 this Biden Department

00:13:34.260 of Justice

00:13:34.840 is so politicized

00:13:37.780 that they're much more

00:13:39.700 interested in tracking

00:13:40.980 down some little old lady 1.00

00:13:42.860 on the National Mall

00:13:43.780 on January 6th

00:13:44.820 who was waving

00:13:45.320 an American flag

00:13:46.180 and saying,

00:13:46.680 God bless America,

00:13:47.620 and finding

00:13:48.620 every Facebook post

00:13:49.680 she put 20 years ago

00:13:51.060 than they are

00:13:51.880 actually interested

00:13:52.640 in finding

00:13:53.200 Communist China

00:13:54.020 spending millions

00:13:54.860 of dollars

00:13:55.260 trying to rip 0.97

00:13:55.840 America apart.

00:13:57.360 And, Senator,

00:13:58.180 look,

00:13:58.600 education

00:13:59.700 and quality education

00:14:01.160 and going to

00:14:02.700 a prestigious school

00:14:05.220 was something

00:14:06.420 that you worked

00:14:07.220 incredibly hard for.

00:14:08.900 But you now look

00:14:10.160 at what's happened

00:14:12.080 at our colleges,

00:14:13.480 and I'm talking about

00:14:14.200 at our, quote,

00:14:15.000 best colleges.

00:14:16.740 How much of now

00:14:18.620 what we're witnessing

00:14:20.020 with them tolerating

00:14:21.480 all of these protests

00:14:23.280 the way that they did

00:14:24.080 in the present

00:14:24.520 is because maybe

00:14:25.960 they can't say no

00:14:27.360 to the foreign cash

00:14:29.000 and the amount

00:14:29.580 of foreign cash

00:14:30.440 and therefore foreign influence

00:14:32.320 that's coming in

00:14:33.040 from these same countries.

00:14:35.060 Look,

00:14:35.580 the foreign cash

00:14:36.600 is an enormous problem.

00:14:39.040 And let me give you,

00:14:40.340 let's look at the Ivy League.

00:14:41.780 So the Ivy League,

00:14:43.240 eight colleges,

00:14:44.060 have historically been

00:14:45.180 among the very best

00:14:46.240 colleges in America.

00:14:48.140 I want us to look

00:14:49.400 at the percentage

00:14:50.100 of foreign students

00:14:51.100 in the Ivy League.

00:14:52.640 So Brown University,

00:14:53.720 what percent of foreign students

00:14:54.760 do you think are at Brown?

00:14:55.800 It's got to be

00:14:56.520 20% plus,

00:14:57.940 I would guess.

00:14:59.460 19%.

00:14:59.860 You're off by a point.

00:15:00.740 Wow, okay.

00:15:01.700 How many students?

00:15:02.800 2,098.

00:15:04.400 Columbia University,

00:15:05.480 what do you think

00:15:05.780 the percentage is at Columbia?

00:15:07.680 25?

00:15:08.540 30?

00:15:08.860 38%.

00:15:11.560 You want to know

00:15:11.960 how many students that is?

00:15:13.100 14,088.

00:15:15.080 14,000 foreign students.

00:15:17.700 Cornell University,

00:15:18.780 26%.

00:15:19.900 Dartmouth College,

00:15:21.440 17%.

00:15:22.420 Harvard University,

00:15:23.500 22%.

00:15:24.400 Princeton University,

00:15:26.040 my alma mater,

00:15:26.760 23%.

00:15:27.760 University of Pennsylvania,

00:15:28.940 23%.

00:15:29.800 Yale University,

00:15:31.140 24%.

00:15:32.100 We are talking about

00:15:33.460 thousands and thousands

00:15:34.720 and tens of thousands

00:15:36.140 of foreign students.

00:15:37.440 Now,

00:15:37.620 part of the reason

00:15:38.840 the university is like this

00:15:40.040 is because the foreign students

00:15:42.240 all pay full freight.

00:15:43.280 So it's a great

00:15:43.960 money-making endeavor,

00:15:45.140 but why exactly

00:15:46.060 are we educating people

00:15:47.440 who among them,

00:15:48.880 and not all of the foreign students

00:15:50.300 are that case?

00:15:51.680 Look,

00:15:52.400 my best friend in college,

00:15:54.280 who you know well,

00:15:55.720 David Panton,

00:15:56.760 was Jamaican.

00:15:57.160 He was a foreign student.

00:15:58.260 He came from Jamaica.

00:15:59.180 He arrived at Princeton

00:16:00.040 at 16.

00:16:01.300 He was the best man

00:16:02.440 at my wedding.

00:16:02.900 He has been,

00:16:03.960 other than Heidi,

00:16:04.580 my best friend in life.

00:16:05.700 He was a foreign student.

00:16:06.540 That was great.

00:16:08.040 That's very different.

00:16:09.280 A Jamaican kid 0.99

00:16:10.280 who's talented

00:16:11.160 and wants to go

00:16:12.140 get a good education,

00:16:13.720 or for that matter,

00:16:15.000 my dad in 1957

00:16:16.620 coming as a student

00:16:17.820 from Cuba

00:16:18.400 to the University of Texas.

00:16:19.840 He came on a student visa.

00:16:21.540 He came fleeing oppression.

00:16:22.900 He'd been in prison.

00:16:23.640 He'd been tortured,

00:16:24.260 but he was coming

00:16:25.120 seeking freedom.

00:16:26.280 That is very different

00:16:27.760 from bringing in

00:16:29.300 a bunch of radical,

00:16:31.380 anti-America, 0.84

00:16:32.700 anti-Israel

00:16:33.840 radicals.

00:16:34.840 Look,

00:16:36.700 as far as I'm concerned,

00:16:38.760 if you have

00:16:39.880 a student

00:16:40.580 on a student visa

00:16:41.620 who gets out there

00:16:42.480 and is burning

00:16:42.960 an American flag

00:16:43.900 and chanting 0.97

00:16:44.420 death to America, 1.00

00:16:45.680 you should deport him 1.00

00:16:46.640 that day.

00:16:47.420 We have no obligation

00:16:49.040 to allow people

00:16:50.700 to come on student visas,

00:16:51.880 which is permissive.

00:16:52.980 It is a choice.

00:16:54.320 It is a discretionary choice

00:16:55.780 if they are going

00:16:57.120 to tear down this country.

00:16:58.300 And part of the problem

00:16:59.340 with the Ivy League schools

00:17:00.860 is when you're looking

00:17:01.760 at anywhere

00:17:02.320 from 17%,

00:17:04.520 Dartmouth College

00:17:05.540 at the low point,

00:17:07.020 to 38%,

00:17:08.620 Columbia University

00:17:09.580 at the high point,

00:17:10.520 that are foreign students,

00:17:11.940 you have a bunch

00:17:12.620 of students

00:17:13.060 who are not Americans

00:17:14.060 and far too many 0.98

00:17:15.020 of them don't give a damn 0.64

00:17:16.340 about America

00:17:16.940 and are trying

00:17:17.380 to tear America down.

00:17:19.040 Yeah,

00:17:19.520 it's a great point.

00:17:20.500 I want to talk to you

00:17:21.200 real quick about

00:17:21.840 what's happening

00:17:22.500 with the economy

00:17:23.240 and when it comes

00:17:24.020 to inflation,

00:17:25.500 it's having a huge impact

00:17:27.200 on your buying power.

00:17:28.460 The reality is

00:17:29.200 it costs a lot more

00:17:30.360 to live today

00:17:31.460 than it did last year

00:17:33.100 or the year before

00:17:34.020 or the year before that.

00:17:35.520 And if you are getting

00:17:36.400 close to retirement

00:17:37.480 or at retirement,

00:17:38.700 you're just trying

00:17:39.580 to preserve the wealth

00:17:40.780 because you know

00:17:41.840 now it costs more

00:17:42.820 to live.

00:17:43.940 And that's where

00:17:44.540 gold and silver

00:17:45.360 can come in

00:17:46.140 and help you big time.

00:17:47.940 Gold and silver

00:17:48.600 have been historically,

00:17:50.020 they've been amazing

00:17:50.960 hedges against inflation

00:17:52.580 and a great way

00:17:53.840 to protect your

00:17:54.640 hard-earned

00:17:55.320 retirement funds.

00:17:56.720 Now,

00:17:57.020 there are a lot

00:17:57.560 of gold and silver

00:17:58.240 companies out there

00:17:59.100 but the one

00:17:59.580 I want you to remember

00:18:00.440 is Freedom Gold USA.

00:18:03.400 You want to know why?

00:18:04.660 Because on average,

00:18:06.240 they charge 25%

00:18:08.360 to 30% less

00:18:10.000 than most major

00:18:11.480 gold and silver firms

00:18:12.560 that you've heard of.

00:18:14.100 Yeah,

00:18:14.500 they preach protection

00:18:15.560 but they'll never tell you

00:18:16.840 to put all your money

00:18:17.600 in gold and silver.

00:18:18.860 They want you

00:18:19.480 to have a diversified

00:18:21.000 portfolio.

00:18:22.600 And again,

00:18:23.540 you can have

00:18:24.140 25% to 30%

00:18:25.760 more gold or silver

00:18:26.800 in your account

00:18:27.460 by working with them

00:18:28.960 than many other companies

00:18:30.120 out there

00:18:30.480 with the same amount

00:18:31.540 of dollars.

00:18:32.740 So,

00:18:33.100 take control

00:18:33.780 of your financial future

00:18:34.900 now

00:18:58.360 Senator,

00:18:58.620 we've talked a lot

00:18:59.420 about China

00:19:00.140 in this report

00:19:01.100 but there's also

00:19:02.420 another warning

00:19:03.740 that has come out

00:19:04.540 and this time

00:19:05.540 and you just mentioned it,

00:19:06.800 your dad fled from Cuba.

00:19:08.680 There was a

00:19:09.220 Wall Street Journal report

00:19:10.480 that has come out

00:19:11.260 about how Cuba

00:19:12.380 is also fueling

00:19:13.800 the campus protests.

00:19:15.440 They're getting in on this

00:19:16.680 and look,

00:19:17.160 let's be honest,

00:19:17.940 they don't have

00:19:18.560 as much money to spend

00:19:19.840 as China

00:19:21.000 and yet they see this

00:19:22.780 as that valuable

00:19:23.940 for disruption

00:19:24.860 in America.

00:19:26.180 Well,

00:19:26.700 that's exactly right.

00:19:27.700 So,

00:19:27.860 just a couple of days ago

00:19:28.880 there was an op-ed

00:19:29.720 in the Wall Street Journal.

00:19:30.720 It was entitled

00:19:31.300 How Cuba Fuels

00:19:32.420 the Campus Protests.

00:19:34.080 Some of the outside

00:19:34.820 agitators against Israel

00:19:36.120 are Havana's fellow travelers.

00:19:38.320 And I want to again

00:19:39.720 focus on this

00:19:40.420 because again,

00:19:41.000 this has gotten

00:19:41.520 very little attention

00:19:42.340 other than this journal article,

00:19:43.660 very few other media outlets

00:19:44.800 have picked it up.

00:19:46.040 But,

00:19:46.660 here's how it starts.

00:19:48.520 There's a dog bites man quality

00:19:50.160 to the news reports

00:19:51.100 that recent campus chaos

00:19:52.320 in support of Hamas

00:19:53.280 is the work of

00:19:53.980 well-funded revolutionary groups

00:19:55.640 out to destabilize the U.S.

00:19:58.820 Even less surprising

00:19:59.840 is the charge

00:20:00.640 that,

00:20:01.180 quote,

00:20:01.260 outside agitators

00:20:02.280 as New York Mayor

00:20:03.180 Eric Adams

00:20:03.880 has termed these groups,

00:20:05.240 share an ideology

00:20:06.160 with the Cuban military

00:20:07.320 dictatorship

00:20:07.940 and in some cases

00:20:09.420 have attained

00:20:10.660 practical support

00:20:11.880 from Havana.

00:20:13.780 And it continues,

00:20:15.200 for decades,

00:20:16.660 Cuba has spent

00:20:17.480 enormous resources

00:20:18.920 burrowing into

00:20:19.840 America's educational,

00:20:21.200 diplomatic,

00:20:21.700 and political circles

00:20:22.640 in an effort

00:20:23.700 to topple

00:20:24.480 our democratic republic.

00:20:26.140 This truth was obscured

00:20:27.660 during the Obama administration

00:20:28.840 when Ben Rhodes,

00:20:30.340 struggling creative writer

00:20:31.640 turned national security guru,

00:20:33.820 shaped U.S. policy

00:20:34.860 to profess that Cuba

00:20:35.820 is no longer a threat.

00:20:37.480 Who can forget

00:20:38.760 the photograph

00:20:39.380 iconic for the American left

00:20:41.240 of Raul Castro

00:20:42.260 raising the arm

00:20:43.320 of a limp-wristed

00:20:44.720 President Obama

00:20:45.620 in 2016?

00:20:47.180 The article continues

00:20:48.440 to describe

00:20:49.280 a vocal advocate

00:20:52.280 of the recent

00:20:53.720 hate-ins in New York

00:20:55.180 is Manolo

00:20:56.660 de los Santos.

00:20:58.740 The New York Post

00:20:59.660 describes the 35-year-old

00:21:01.260 as, quote,

00:21:01.800 the leader and de facto

00:21:02.800 mouthpiece

00:21:03.500 for the People's Forum.

00:21:05.000 Remember,

00:21:05.180 we talked about

00:21:05.700 the People's Forum

00:21:06.260 a minute ago

00:21:06.740 that China is helping

00:21:07.480 fund as well.

00:21:08.660 A radical anti-Israel group

00:21:10.400 that encouraged

00:21:10.980 the takeover

00:21:11.600 of Hamilton Hall

00:21:12.380 at Columbia University.

00:21:14.300 Born in the Dominican Republic,

00:21:15.600 Mr. de los Santos

00:21:16.400 moved to the U.S. at 5,

00:21:17.820 but seems to have spent

00:21:18.700 time in Cuba

00:21:19.500 beginning in 2006.

00:21:21.400 In May of 2023,

00:21:23.180 Mr. de los Santos

00:21:24.120 tweeted a photo

00:21:24.920 of himself

00:21:25.560 with Cuban dictator

00:21:26.520 Miguel Diaz-Canel

00:21:27.640 on the island.

00:21:29.500 He wrote that he was,

00:21:30.640 quote,

00:21:30.720 leaving Cuba

00:21:31.240 after 10 days

00:21:32.140 learning with his people

00:21:33.720 and with Mr. Diaz-Canel.

00:21:35.560 Quote,

00:21:36.200 young people in the U.S.

00:21:37.180 have great tasks

00:21:38.100 ahead of them,

00:21:38.660 he explained.

00:21:39.320 In September 2023,

00:21:41.200 Mr. de los Santos

00:21:42.100 was photographed

00:21:42.980 with the Cuban dictator

00:21:44.620 in New York

00:21:45.320 during the week

00:21:46.080 of the U.N.

00:21:46.780 General Assembly meeting.

00:21:48.360 Quote,

00:21:49.300 welcome,

00:21:50.300 dear comrade,

00:21:51.440 Mr. de los Santos

00:21:52.400 tweeted.

00:21:52.880 So this guy's a communist.

00:21:54.740 And here's what

00:21:56.160 the Wall Street Journal

00:21:56.840 continues to say.

00:21:57.680 It isn't clear

00:21:58.300 if Mr. de los Santos

00:21:59.220 was on the Columbia campus.

00:22:01.040 But hours before

00:22:02.900 pro-Hamas activists

00:22:04.220 took over Hamilton Hall,

00:22:06.240 he gave a rousing speech

00:22:07.800 to a volunteer meeting

00:22:08.920 at the People's Forum offices

00:22:10.360 in Manhattan

00:22:11.200 where he,

00:22:12.660 urged the group

00:22:14.440 to,

00:22:15.080 give Joe Biden

00:22:16.180 a hot summer

00:22:16.880 and,

00:22:17.300 make it untenable

00:22:18.140 for the politics as usual

00:22:19.600 to take place

00:22:20.160 in this country.

00:22:21.420 On May 7th,

00:22:22.480 Mr. de los Santos

00:22:23.300 was detained

00:22:24.100 by the New York

00:22:25.360 Police Department

00:22:26.180 for his role

00:22:26.940 in a traffic blocking march.

00:22:29.140 It wasn't his first brush

00:22:30.280 with the law.

00:22:30.880 The Post has reported

00:22:31.660 that he was also arrested

00:22:32.640 by the NYPD

00:22:33.520 on January 27th

00:22:35.400 during a day

00:22:36.020 of pro-Hamas activism.

00:22:38.200 And the journal

00:22:40.060 concludes with the following.

00:22:41.820 In a 2014

00:22:42.700 unclassified report,

00:22:45.060 Cuban intelligence

00:22:46.360 targeting of academia.

00:22:48.820 The FBI said

00:22:50.000 that schools,

00:22:51.320 colleges,

00:22:52.080 universities,

00:22:52.620 and research institutes

00:22:54.460 are a,

00:22:56.080 quote,

00:22:56.380 fertile environment

00:22:57.700 for foreign intelligence.

00:22:59.660 Quote,

00:23:00.780 the Cuban intelligence services

00:23:03.140 are known

00:23:04.500 to actively target

00:23:06.040 the U.S. academic world

00:23:07.640 for the purposes

00:23:08.920 of recruiting agents

00:23:10.220 in order to both

00:23:11.860 obtain useful information

00:23:13.520 and conduct

00:23:15.220 influence activities.

00:23:17.020 Well,

00:23:17.180 you know what?

00:23:17.860 We're seeing those

00:23:18.800 influence activities

00:23:19.960 every day

00:23:21.480 on campuses

00:23:22.180 across the country.

00:23:23.020 Canadian women

00:23:24.500 are looking for more.

00:23:25.880 More out of themselves,

00:23:26.900 their businesses,

00:23:27.820 their elected leaders,

00:23:28.780 and the world around them.

00:23:30.000 And that's why we're thrilled

00:23:30.980 to introduce

00:23:31.620 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:23:33.660 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:23:34.920 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:23:36.160 And in this podcast,

00:23:37.240 we interview Canada's

00:23:38.280 most inspiring women.

00:23:39.920 Entrepreneurs,

00:23:40.600 artists,

00:23:41.280 athletes,

00:23:41.880 politicians,

00:23:42.540 and newsmakers,

00:23:43.460 all at different stages

00:23:44.500 of their journey.

00:23:45.660 So if you're looking

00:23:46.680 to connect,

00:23:47.460 then we hope you'll join us.

00:23:48.860 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast

00:23:50.260 on iHeart Radio

00:23:51.200 or wherever you listen

00:23:52.240 to your podcasts.

00:23:54.720 So is there anything

00:23:56.300 that Congress can do?

00:23:58.140 I mean,

00:23:58.540 you're hearing this.

00:24:00.380 Everyone's hearing this now.

00:24:01.820 You mentioned it earlier.

00:24:03.080 Can you ask the FBI director?

00:24:05.280 Can you call on them

00:24:06.620 to take action here

00:24:09.040 and to look into this?

00:24:10.200 Or is this just a,

00:24:11.440 hey,

00:24:12.100 they're on our side

00:24:13.380 as the Democratic Party,

00:24:15.700 the socialists

00:24:16.680 and the Marxists

00:24:17.360 and the communists

00:24:17.920 within the Democratic Party.

00:24:19.200 We don't care

00:24:20.500 because we want

00:24:21.560 their influence

00:24:22.200 and we want their money.

00:24:23.900 So yes,

00:24:24.580 I've called on

00:24:25.220 the Biden administration

00:24:25.960 to do this.

00:24:26.780 I've called on the IRS.

00:24:28.040 I've called on the FBI.

00:24:29.940 Many of these organizations

00:24:32.340 that are pushing

00:24:33.000 these protests

00:24:33.760 are 501c3s,

00:24:35.020 which are supposed

00:24:35.480 to be tax exempt.

00:24:36.440 They're supposed to be

00:24:37.000 not engaging

00:24:37.560 in political activity.

00:24:38.480 So I've called on the IRS

00:24:39.620 to investigate that already.

00:24:42.240 Look,

00:24:42.720 in a sane world,

00:24:43.760 the FBI would be

00:24:44.680 examining this closely.

00:24:46.680 We watched

00:24:47.260 during the Trump presidency

00:24:48.480 the whole Russia,

00:24:49.340 Russia,

00:24:49.520 Russia nonsense, 0.93

00:24:50.300 which was totally made up.

00:24:52.220 It was based on

00:24:52.880 Hillary Clinton campaign

00:24:54.100 oppo research,

00:24:55.200 but it became

00:24:57.480 the obsession,

00:24:59.180 number one,

00:24:59.720 of the deep state

00:25:00.480 and number two now

00:25:01.460 of the Biden administration.

00:25:02.680 And yet,

00:25:03.300 I have no indication

00:25:05.800 that the Department of Justice

00:25:07.440 is doing anything

00:25:08.480 to examine this.

00:25:09.480 I have no indication

00:25:10.240 that the FBI,

00:25:10.860 and by the way,

00:25:11.580 the FBI ought to announce

00:25:12.800 they are investigating this.

00:25:14.540 If they were doing it,

00:25:15.780 they shouldn't keep it a secret.

00:25:16.800 They should make absolutely clear

00:25:18.760 that what is happening

00:25:20.340 on these campuses

00:25:21.200 is deeply concerning,

00:25:22.480 and they're going to get

00:25:23.020 to the bottom

00:25:23.540 of who's funding it.

00:25:24.720 But they're not doing that,

00:25:26.140 and I don't believe they will,

00:25:27.680 because many of the funders,

00:25:30.320 in addition to being

00:25:31.220 the Chinese communists

00:25:32.280 and the Cuban communists,

00:25:33.360 many of the funders

00:25:34.200 are also the top funders

00:25:35.620 for the Democrat Party.

00:25:36.940 And this Department of Justice

00:25:38.920 operates as an adjunct

00:25:41.280 to the White House.

00:25:42.060 It is a Democrat Enforcement Bureau,

00:25:44.480 which means I don't think

00:25:45.980 they're going to go after

00:25:46.820 the top funders

00:25:47.620 of the Democrat Party,

00:25:48.540 because you know

00:25:49.100 what their objective is?

00:25:50.300 To re-elect Joe Biden.

00:25:51.940 And so,

00:25:52.820 stopping foreign communist governments

00:25:55.240 from fomenting dissent,

00:25:57.140 protecting Jewish students

00:25:58.420 on campus,

00:25:59.360 preventing our universities

00:26:00.580 from being ripped apart,

00:26:02.240 preventing airports

00:26:03.800 from being shut down,

00:26:05.020 preventing freeways

00:26:05.960 from being shut down.

00:26:06.840 Remember,

00:26:07.200 these are the same people

00:26:08.260 who during the, quote,

00:26:09.220 summer of love,

00:26:10.040 the deep state

00:26:10.760 didn't want to do anything.

00:26:13.600 And so,

00:26:14.060 I don't believe

00:26:14.480 the Biden administration 0.93

00:26:15.300 is going to do a damn thing. 0.96

00:26:17.100 You mentioned something 0.99

00:26:18.520 that we talked about,

00:26:19.620 and it jogged my memory

00:26:20.520 from,

00:26:21.080 it may have been

00:26:21.700 two or three episodes ago,

00:26:23.140 where we were talking about

00:26:24.680 it was very clear

00:26:25.620 that the same people

00:26:26.960 in this country

00:26:28.000 that are funding

00:26:29.640 Joe Biden's re-elect

00:26:30.940 for president

00:26:31.620 are the exact same people

00:26:33.420 that are funding

00:26:34.160 the campus rioters.

00:26:37.120 And so,

00:26:37.700 you combine that,

00:26:39.380 right,

00:26:39.660 with now the foreign money.

00:26:41.580 This is a hell of a lot

00:26:43.240 of influence,

00:26:44.300 Senator,

00:26:44.560 over the United States

00:26:45.620 of America

00:26:46.100 and young people.

00:26:47.500 And it's,

00:26:48.260 is it being orchestrated

00:26:49.260 by the foreigners

00:26:50.280 or is this being orchestrated

00:26:52.180 by the Biden administration

00:26:53.340 in essence?

00:26:54.680 Yes.

00:26:55.780 Look,

00:26:56.180 understand,

00:26:57.060 this is not organic.

00:26:58.300 This is not occurring spontaneously.

00:26:59.780 This is highly organized.

00:27:01.700 There's a reason

00:27:02.840 why all of these activists 0.99

00:27:04.860 have the same damn tents. 0.99

00:27:06.460 because the groups 0.99

00:27:08.440 that are pushing this

00:27:09.300 sent out links

00:27:10.080 to the same Amazon link

00:27:11.300 to buy the tents.

00:27:12.840 And they are being funded.

00:27:14.440 They're being funded,

00:27:15.260 number one,

00:27:15.700 by radical leftists.

00:27:16.660 They're being funded

00:27:17.300 by anarchists.

00:27:18.260 They're being funded

00:27:18.940 by communists.

00:27:20.200 And I don't use communists

00:27:21.780 as a pejorative,

00:27:22.840 as just an insult.

00:27:23.860 I mean people

00:27:24.500 who embrace communism.

00:27:25.740 And as we're laying out here,

00:27:28.800 it's not just

00:27:29.520 American communists

00:27:30.580 of which there are sadly

00:27:31.660 far too many.

00:27:32.780 It is Chinese communists, 0.84

00:27:34.360 the Chinese Communist Party.

00:27:35.720 It is Cuban communists.

00:27:37.240 And they see this

00:27:38.840 as a vulnerability

00:27:39.900 in America,

00:27:41.660 a way to tear us apart.

00:27:44.200 Look,

00:27:45.460 you look at a place,

00:27:46.340 we're talking about

00:27:46.880 elite institutions,

00:27:47.680 you look at a place

00:27:48.240 like Duke University.

00:27:50.360 Ben,

00:27:50.760 how the hell

00:27:51.740 is Jerry Seinfeld

00:27:53.220 now too controversial

00:27:55.680 of a speaker

00:27:56.440 for campus leftists?

00:27:57.600 We saw at Duke's commencement,

00:27:59.960 oh,

00:28:00.340 about 50

00:28:01.240 anti-Semitic leftists

00:28:03.680 storm out.

00:28:04.660 And by the way,

00:28:05.740 Seinfeld was not giving

00:28:06.760 a speech about Israel.

00:28:07.800 He was not talking,

00:28:08.440 he happens to support Israel.

00:28:10.280 They simply said, 1.00

00:28:11.560 damn it, 1.00

00:28:11.920 I will not listen to a Jew. 1.00

00:28:13.940 I am such a bigot. 0.99

00:28:15.600 If you invite a Jew 1.00

00:28:16.660 to speak to me, 0.92

00:28:17.300 I will walk out ostentatiously.

00:28:19.440 You look at the

00:28:20.320 recent graduation

00:28:21.260 at Columbia

00:28:21.820 where you had these nitwits 0.98

00:28:22.920 walking up 0.99

00:28:23.520 and ripping their diploma

00:28:24.620 in half.

00:28:26.040 And I mean,

00:28:26.940 they are angry,

00:28:28.920 they are bigoted

00:28:29.780 on the left,

00:28:30.820 being a bigot. 1.00

00:28:32.660 Hating Jews 0.99

00:28:33.440 is accepted 0.98

00:28:34.220 on the left now.

00:28:35.140 That is an acceptable

00:28:36.180 bigotry.

00:28:37.740 See,

00:28:38.160 I don't understand

00:28:38.680 why these universities,

00:28:39.780 and maybe it's just

00:28:40.620 because I'm old school

00:28:41.580 and I think you

00:28:42.740 would agree with me,

00:28:44.720 if back when I

00:28:46.280 was in school,

00:28:47.140 if you ripped up

00:28:48.100 your diploma

00:28:48.740 when you were walking

00:28:49.580 across the stage,

00:28:51.080 they probably would have

00:28:52.100 just taken away from you

00:28:53.160 and said,

00:28:53.400 you didn't graduate.

00:28:55.580 Yeah,

00:28:56.000 so it's an interesting question.

00:28:57.520 I mean,

00:28:57.620 there have been real consequences

00:28:58.260 is what I'm saying.

00:29:00.100 Probably.

00:29:00.780 I will say,

00:29:01.760 I'm not sure

00:29:02.660 you could do that.

00:29:03.580 You might actually

00:29:04.160 have a breach

00:29:04.600 of contract claim

00:29:05.560 if you have actually

00:29:06.600 paid your tuition

00:29:07.380 and passed your classes.

00:29:08.480 I'm not sure

00:29:09.100 they could revoke

00:29:09.800 your diploma

00:29:10.260 at that point.

00:29:11.780 But you know what?

00:29:13.500 They could certainly

00:29:14.640 print on your transcript

00:29:16.360 Ben Ferguson

00:29:18.240 is embarrassed

00:29:19.080 to have graduated

00:29:20.040 from Ole Miss

00:29:20.840 and tore up his diploma.

00:29:22.160 You should know that

00:29:22.920 if you're thinking

00:29:23.480 of hiring him.

00:29:24.860 Yeah.

00:29:25.740 I mean,

00:29:26.120 and yet all these universities

00:29:27.960 seem to know

00:29:28.760 it's going to happen.

00:29:29.980 And his tennis serve

00:29:31.060 is like a little girl.

00:29:33.640 Would that be bad

00:29:34.500 if they wrote that

00:29:35.160 on your transcript?

00:29:35.620 I would sue them for that.

00:29:37.160 That I would sue them for.

00:29:38.360 The other part,

00:29:38.980 I don't know if I'd care,

00:29:39.920 but I'd sue them for that

00:29:40.800 because I'd be like,

00:29:41.220 that is a lie

00:29:41.760 and I'm going to get paid.

00:29:43.140 It's actually not accurate,

00:29:44.520 Ben,

00:29:44.620 because a little girl

00:29:45.360 could serve and get it in.

00:29:46.860 Listen to you.

00:29:47.660 Listen to you.

00:29:48.260 All right.

00:29:49.100 Next time we play.

00:29:50.820 The sad thing is...

00:29:52.220 I'm going to come back

00:29:52.880 with a report here

00:29:53.620 on verdict.

00:29:54.400 The sad thing is

00:29:55.540 I have such empty boast

00:29:56.920 because you so utterly

00:29:59.040 destroy me in tennis.

00:30:00.120 It's not even close.

00:30:01.900 But I'm talking smack

00:30:03.360 and on this it is empty.

00:30:05.100 I will readily admit.

00:30:07.420 But if you do this...

00:30:08.520 But you know what?

00:30:09.560 I can take you at hoops.

00:30:11.480 That's true.

00:30:12.260 No, no.

00:30:12.660 You've got game.

00:30:13.380 I said the first time

00:30:15.120 we played him.

00:30:15.780 So I was like,

00:30:16.160 all right,

00:30:16.340 he's got some game.

00:30:17.260 Diaz was like,

00:30:17.700 does he really have game?

00:30:18.720 And I was like,

00:30:19.500 for people that are listening,

00:30:20.540 Diaz is our producer

00:30:21.340 that does the show.

00:30:22.620 And so Diaz was like,

00:30:23.480 can he actually shoot?

00:30:24.860 And I'm like,

00:30:25.160 he actually can.

00:30:26.360 He was like,

00:30:26.780 really?

00:30:27.160 I was like,

00:30:27.360 yes,

00:30:27.600 he actually scores

00:30:28.360 like a lot.

00:30:29.880 Now I will say,

00:30:31.020 look,

00:30:31.220 you've got size.

00:30:32.120 You can post up on me

00:30:33.240 one-on-one.

00:30:34.440 If you actually turned around 1.00

00:30:36.160 and put your ass 1.00

00:30:36.960 towards the basket 1.00

00:30:37.700 and backed up on me,

00:30:38.760 I'm not sure

00:30:39.440 I could push you out

00:30:40.320 because you're a big guy.

00:30:42.060 Yeah,

00:30:42.340 no,

00:30:42.680 in fact,

00:30:43.280 we might need to make that happen.

00:30:44.540 I don't know if I want to do it

00:30:45.480 like now

00:30:45.900 because I do end up

00:30:47.660 breaking bones when I play.

00:30:49.160 So, you know,

00:30:49.980 I might heal a little bit.

00:30:51.460 To be clear,

00:30:52.200 whose bones?

00:30:54.140 It was mine.

00:30:55.280 Mine broke, dude.

00:30:56.720 Mine broke.

00:30:56.960 I just have to clarify that.

00:30:59.080 Yeah,

00:30:59.340 it took me out of tennis

00:31:00.420 for the longest

00:31:01.020 of like my whole life.

00:31:02.220 I finally got to play today 1.00

00:31:03.600 because of this stupid pinky 1.00

00:31:05.460 that swells up. 1.00

00:31:06.300 It is like the size

00:31:07.160 of a baseball right now.

00:31:08.400 I'm thinking workers comp here

00:31:09.960 at some point.

00:31:10.540 That'll be my lawsuit.

00:31:12.560 But final question for you

00:31:14.360 on what we just exposed.

00:31:17.320 What is it that people

00:31:18.860 need to do

00:31:19.880 with this information?

00:31:21.440 And is this just more of a,

00:31:23.300 hey,

00:31:24.080 if you've got a kid

00:31:25.800 or a grandkid

00:31:27.020 that is looking at

00:31:27.960 where they're going

00:31:28.380 to be going to college,

00:31:29.680 is part of this,

00:31:30.800 pay attention

00:31:31.740 to what they're doing

00:31:32.720 to your kid's mind

00:31:33.680 and don't just assume

00:31:35.260 that because your kid

00:31:36.100 gets into, quote,

00:31:36.860 a prestigious university

00:31:37.820 that it's the right decision

00:31:38.940 to send them there?

00:31:40.540 Look, that's a hard choice.

00:31:42.340 And I will say parents,

00:31:44.000 particularly parents

00:31:44.800 with high school

00:31:45.840 and college age kids,

00:31:47.060 it's a really hard choice.

00:31:48.640 My view has long been

00:31:50.520 that a kid should go

00:31:52.960 to the best school

00:31:53.680 they can get into.

00:31:54.580 And it does open doors.

00:31:55.840 It opens career doors.

00:31:57.080 It's beneficial.

00:31:58.240 I will say,

00:31:59.220 the more radicalized

00:32:00.300 these places get,

00:32:01.400 the less convinced I am

00:32:03.180 that makes sense.

00:32:04.340 I will say I saw

00:32:05.440 an article recently

00:32:06.340 talking about

00:32:07.040 how many top

00:32:08.380 high school graduates

00:32:09.200 are now looking

00:32:10.160 at schools in the South.

00:32:12.640 By the way,

00:32:14.140 you know,

00:32:14.640 it's easy,

00:32:15.480 and we talked about this

00:32:16.420 in a prior podcast,

00:32:18.020 you know,

00:32:18.260 it's easy to say,

00:32:19.140 oh, all colleges 0.97

00:32:20.120 are just crazy

00:32:21.140 and this is just

00:32:22.280 a problem across the country.

00:32:24.240 No, that's not true.

00:32:25.500 This is a problem

00:32:26.440 in blue states.

00:32:27.800 This is a problem

00:32:28.740 at Columbia,

00:32:30.360 at NYU,

00:32:31.140 at Yale,

00:32:31.660 at Harvard.

00:32:32.560 This is a problem

00:32:33.380 at Princeton.

00:32:34.060 This is a problem

00:32:34.600 at UCLA.

00:32:35.500 This is a problem

00:32:36.100 at UC Berkeley.

00:32:37.140 This is a problem

00:32:37.660 at USC.

00:32:38.420 This is a problem

00:32:38.840 at the University

00:32:39.300 of Washington.

00:32:40.580 This is a problem

00:32:41.400 in blue states.

00:32:42.260 Why is it a problem

00:32:42.960 in blue states?

00:32:43.620 Because you have Democrats

00:32:44.460 who will not stand up against it,

00:32:45.800 who will not protect

00:32:46.560 Jewish students,

00:32:47.160 who will not oppose

00:32:47.940 anti-Semitism,

00:32:48.860 who will not lock up

00:32:50.220 protesters,

00:32:50.880 who will not stop

00:32:51.760 pro-Hamas protesters,

00:32:53.780 who will not stop

00:32:54.500 threats of violence.

00:32:55.280 These are the same people

00:32:56.440 that were utterly powerless

00:32:57.740 in the so-called

00:32:58.840 summer of love

00:32:59.660 and let anarchists

00:33:00.500 take over portions

00:33:01.360 of major cities

00:33:02.220 in America.

00:33:03.120 These are the same people

00:33:04.200 who allowed

00:33:04.980 Black Lives Matter

00:33:06.060 and Antifa protesters 0.95

00:33:07.200 to firebomb police cars,

00:33:08.940 to loot stores,

00:33:09.880 to commit crimes.

00:33:11.900 We're not seeing this

00:33:13.280 in red states.

00:33:14.300 Look,

00:33:14.680 you and I both live

00:33:16.240 in Texas.

00:33:16.840 At UT,

00:33:17.380 there were protests.

00:33:18.120 You know what they did?

00:33:19.120 They sent in the police

00:33:20.220 and if you committed

00:33:21.280 threats of violence,

00:33:22.080 you got arrested.

00:33:22.800 And miraculously,

00:33:24.460 you didn't have

00:33:25.540 the garbage you had 0.99

00:33:26.460 at these other schools. 0.98

00:33:27.300 You look at places,

00:33:28.940 whether University of North Carolina

00:33:30.820 or other southern schools,

00:33:31.920 they don't have the problems.

00:33:32.880 Florida?

00:33:33.720 Look,

00:33:34.060 Florida and Texas,

00:33:35.440 listen,

00:33:36.020 you and I both have

00:33:36.880 a lot of very close

00:33:38.000 Jewish friends.

00:33:39.880 They're not living

00:33:40.780 in fear in Texas.

00:33:41.900 They're not living

00:33:42.440 in fear in Florida.

00:33:44.200 But you know what?

00:33:44.860 They are living in fear

00:33:45.940 in New York

00:33:46.540 and New Jersey

00:33:47.140 and Connecticut

00:33:47.700 and California.

00:33:49.140 And ideology

00:33:50.540 has consequences.

00:33:52.720 If you have leftists

00:33:54.200 who embrace

00:33:54.960 cultural Marxism

00:33:56.100 who believe Jews 0.98

00:33:57.100 are oppressors, 0.95

00:33:58.000 you know what?

00:33:58.680 They're not going

00:33:59.140 to oppress Jewish students.

00:34:00.380 And that is, 0.57

00:34:01.260 that is sadly

00:34:02.940 where today's

00:34:05.260 radicalized Democrat Party is.

00:34:07.380 Yeah,

00:34:07.520 it is.

00:34:08.000 And it's going to be

00:34:08.580 interesting to see

00:34:09.300 how much now,

00:34:10.780 especially with a lot

00:34:12.020 of people that graduated

00:34:13.000 from universities,

00:34:14.360 your alma mater

00:34:15.260 and others at Columbia

00:34:16.500 taking a stand

00:34:17.200 and saying,

00:34:17.480 I'm not giving you

00:34:18.440 any more money.

00:34:19.240 We've seen Robert Kraft

00:34:20.340 and others say,

00:34:20.960 we're not sending

00:34:21.580 any more cash to you

00:34:23.340 and many of these

00:34:24.680 Ivy League universities.

00:34:26.260 And so will that force them

00:34:27.820 to take even more

00:34:29.020 of this foreign money

00:34:30.140 and the foreign influence

00:34:31.340 that comes with it?

00:34:32.580 That may be one

00:34:33.800 of the shocking parts

00:34:35.260 of this entire conversation

00:34:37.260 that we're having right now.

00:34:38.880 I think that's right.

00:34:39.800 I think there are

00:34:40.300 a lot of alums

00:34:41.040 who are deeply concerned

00:34:43.180 about where the institutions

00:34:44.480 they went to school are.

00:34:45.460 I think there are

00:34:45.780 a lot of parents

00:34:46.400 that are deeply worried

00:34:47.400 about do they keep

00:34:48.920 sending their students

00:34:49.860 to these schools?

00:34:50.600 I think there are

00:34:51.680 already lawsuits

00:34:52.400 and there are going to be

00:34:52.960 a lot more lawsuits

00:34:53.900 about breach of contract.

00:34:55.080 You pay a school

00:34:56.120 a half million dollars

00:34:57.160 and they shut down,

00:34:58.460 they don't teach in person,

00:34:59.480 they send people at home,

00:35:00.480 they cancel your commencement,

00:35:01.920 they say,

00:35:02.300 oh, we're not actually

00:35:03.040 going to do

00:35:03.500 what you paid us to do,

00:35:04.540 which is teach your kids.

00:35:05.740 And by the way,

00:35:06.260 we're not going to

00:35:06.720 protect your students.

00:35:07.520 If your student

00:35:08.140 happens to wear a yarmulke,

00:35:09.680 you know what?

00:35:10.200 They need to be prepared

00:35:11.020 to be screamed at,

00:35:11.920 cursed at,

00:35:12.400 and be physically threatened

00:35:13.460 with violence.

00:35:14.640 That is, A,

00:35:15.680 a violation

00:35:16.280 of federal civil rights law.

00:35:17.540 And by the way,

00:35:18.280 where is

00:35:19.320 the Biden administration?

00:35:20.680 Why are they not

00:35:21.400 enforcing federal

00:35:22.780 civil rights law?

00:35:24.000 Look, I looked

00:35:25.060 at Dwight D. Eisenhower,

00:35:26.320 Republican president,

00:35:27.320 who when you had

00:35:28.040 a bunch of Democrat

00:35:29.200 bigots,

00:35:29.680 and I'll point out,

00:35:30.380 it was Democrat

00:35:31.020 bigots in the 50s

00:35:31.980 and 60s too,

00:35:33.240 who were refusing

00:35:34.020 to allow schools

00:35:34.920 to be integrated,

00:35:35.740 and they were persecuting

00:35:36.900 African American students,

00:35:38.020 and these Democrat 0.97

00:35:38.880 bigot politicians 0.90

00:35:39.880 were doing that,

00:35:41.380 and Dwight D. Eisenhower

00:35:42.200 sent in the National Guard.

00:35:43.500 What has Joe Biden done?

00:35:45.340 Absolutely nothing,

00:35:47.240 because his sympathies,

00:35:50.020 he wants the votes

00:35:51.600 of the anti-Semites

00:35:53.700 who are protesting,

00:35:55.220 and, you know,

00:35:56.040 his administration

00:35:57.420 also seems to have

00:35:58.480 zero concern

00:35:59.540 about the Chinese

00:36:00.860 communist money

00:36:01.640 and the Cuban

00:36:02.500 communist money

00:36:03.320 and supporters behind this.
