00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.240 Welcome.
00:00:06.040 It is The Verdict with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you,
00:00:08.720 and it's really nice to have you with us wherever you are around the country.
00:00:12.360 We've got a lot to unpack on this show, Senator, including a new smoking gun,
00:00:18.480 the Russian hoax exposed even more,
00:00:21.380 and we're being told now that Hillary Clinton apparently greenlit the entire idea
00:00:28.000 to hide her email scandal, and declassified documents are now showing exactly that.
00:00:35.060 Well, newly declassified documents show, as you noted,
00:00:38.300 that Hillary Clinton personally approved the Russia hoax,
00:00:42.420 and she did it to distract from her own email scandal.
00:00:45.820 She did it with the complicity of the corporate media,
00:00:49.760 and she did it with the complicity of the FBI.
00:00:52.320 These emails are bombshell emails that show that George Soros and his foundation
00:00:57.480 was intimately involved in the entire operation,
00:01:01.400 and that this was a lie from day one,
00:01:04.780 and the political operators, including Hillary Rodham Clinton,
00:01:09.000 knew fully well that it was a lie.
00:01:11.280 On top of that, we had a vote this week on Israel,
00:01:14.240 and I will tell you every day, every week,
00:01:17.440 the Democrats' abandoning of the state of Israel gets worse and worse and worse.
00:01:21.900 This week, more than half of the Senate Democrats voted to cut off military funding for Israel.
00:01:27.640 The degree to which today's Democrats have been captured by the pro-Hamas radical left wing
00:01:32.440 of their party continues to get worse, and it is dismaying,
00:01:36.840 and sadly, they were echoed by the governments of Great Britain and France and Canada all this week.
00:01:43.920 The left has decided Hamas, they stand for Hamas, 0.99
00:01:47.580 and they're no longer willing to stand with Israel.
00:01:50.360 And finally, a new story about Harvard's ties to the Chinese Communist Party,
00:01:56.600 their explicit partnership with a major organ of the Chinese Communist Party
00:02:00.820 to train the leaders of China,
00:02:03.740 the leaders that are involved in horrific human rights abuses,
00:02:06.960 the leaders that are involved in the tyranny of the Chinese government
00:02:10.380 are more and more Harvard-trained.
00:02:12.780 We're going to lay out the evidence for that.
00:02:14.000 Yeah, it really is incredible.
00:02:16.120 It's a lot to unpack on today's show.
00:02:18.060 All right, I want to take a moment and talk to you about an awesome way to start your day,

00:04:05.080 All right, so, Senator, where were you when you found out
00:04:08.200 the Russian hoax is now being exposed,
00:04:10.480 and what was your initial reaction to Hillary Clinton greenlighting this?
00:04:14.500 It's like, for me, I was like, yep, that makes sense.
00:04:16.760 Yep, that adds up.
00:04:17.640 Yep, that matches.
00:04:19.100 Yeah, look, the evidence has been coming over the last several weeks.
00:04:22.140 So Tulsi Gabbard released significant evidence
00:04:24.760 that the intelligence community had been telling Barack Obama
00:04:28.180 and the Obama administration that Russia was not trying to hack the election.
00:04:32.300 They'd been doing that for months.
00:04:33.380 We covered that on a previous pod.
00:04:35.440 And then this week, the portions of the classified annex
00:04:40.060 of John Durham's special counsel investigation were released,
00:04:43.180 and they were released by my colleague Chuck Grassley,
00:04:45.800 who's the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
00:04:47.440 And I got to say, it is stunning what is in these newly declassified documents.
00:04:55.100 So they reveal, quote, confidential conversations
00:05:00.560 between members of the Democratic National Committee
00:05:03.760 and George Soros' Open Society Foundation
00:05:06.820 that occurred before the 2016 election.
00:05:10.820 And in particular, according to the declassified files,
00:05:14.600 Hillary Clinton personally approved a plan
00:05:17.820 that had been proposed by her foreign policy advisor,
00:05:21.160 a woman named Julianne Smith, to, quote, 0.95
00:05:23.820 smear Donald Trump by magnifying the scandal tied to the intrusion
00:05:28.620 by the Russian special services in the pre-election process
00:05:32.060 to benefit the Republican candidate.
00:05:34.600 And by the way, Julianne Smith was later appointed
00:05:37.520 to serve as ambassador to NATO under President Joe Biden.
00:05:40.820 So it turned out this was a profitable role for her
00:05:45.040 to be involved in this massive hoax.
00:05:48.780 There's an email in particular that is really remarkable.
00:05:52.020 It was written by Open Society Foundation's senior vice president,
00:05:56.320 a fellow named Leonard Bernardo.
00:05:58.580 And it was dated July 27th, 2016.
00:06:01.920 And here's what it says, quote,
00:06:04.020 HRC, HRC stands for Hillary Rodham Clinton, 0.97
00:06:06.520 approved Julia's idea about Trump and Russian hackers
00:06:11.660 hampering U.S. elections.
00:06:13.180 This is in July of 2016.
00:06:15.700 That should distract people from her own missing email,
00:06:21.000 especially if the affair goes to the Olympic level.
00:06:25.660 And his email continues, quote,
00:06:28.040 the point is making the Russian play a U.S. domestic issue.
00:06:32.960 In absence of direct evidence,
00:06:37.100 CrowdStrike and ThreatConnect will supply the media
00:06:42.240 and GRU, which is the foreign intelligence arm of Russia,
00:06:47.460 will hopefully carry on to give more facts.
00:06:52.940 And, look, I've got to say, this is Hillary explicitly signing on
00:06:58.980 and counting on the assistance.
00:07:04.480 And then he goes on to say,
00:07:07.420 he says that the Clinton campaign's plan included, quote,
00:07:14.420 raising the theme of Putin's support for Trump
00:07:17.540 and pushing public opinion to, quote,
00:07:20.520 equate the Russian leader's influence campaign
00:07:24.060 with actual election infrastructure hacking.
00:07:27.400 And it involved distributing, quote,
00:07:30.280 the necessary information through the FBI-affiliated
00:07:34.180 technical structures, in particular,
00:07:36.780 the CrowdStrike and ThreatConnect companies,
00:07:38.880 from where the information would then be disseminated
00:07:42.380 through leading U.S. opinion, publications.
00:07:46.560 And that's another email from Bernardo.
00:07:48.740 And then the email predicts,
00:07:51.240 and this is stunning,
00:07:53.960 that the FBI would, quote,
00:07:56.560 put more oil into the fire
00:07:59.420 of the Russia collusion narrative.
00:08:01.660 This was an explicit plan
00:08:05.580 by the Hillary Clinton campaign
00:08:08.360 and by Hillary Clinton herself
00:08:09.820 to use the FBI to spread a lie about Donald Trump.
00:08:14.700 And it was in order to try to win the election.
00:08:16.940 And thank God the American people were not deceived
00:08:19.100 and they elected Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
00:08:22.540 When it went to the FBI,
00:08:24.520 how they categorized at the time
00:08:26.460 the dossier and everything else,
00:08:27.920 it was paid for by Hillary Clinton,
00:08:30.100 partially, her campaign,
00:08:31.660 and then the Democratic National Committee.
00:08:33.940 They created it out of thin air
00:08:35.720 and then they went to the FBI
00:08:38.160 and even the FBI had classified,
00:08:41.060 if I remember correctly,
00:08:42.060 as, quote, user-generated
00:08:43.800 and even offered,
00:08:45.260 I think it was like a million dollars to Steele
00:08:48.160 if he could verify any of this dossier,
00:08:51.360 which he never got paid on
00:08:52.640 because he couldn't do it.
00:08:54.160 Well, the Steele dossier
00:08:55.500 was designed to be a lie.
00:08:57.700 And it was straight-out opposition research.
00:08:59.640 It was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign
00:09:01.620 and it was paid for by the DNC.
00:09:03.840 They paid over a million dollars
00:09:05.580 and they hid the fees.
00:09:08.120 They hid them as, quote,
00:09:09.740 legal fees to their law firm's Perkins Coie.
00:09:13.760 They had 5.6 million in legal fees
00:09:16.040 that were paid in one bill
00:09:17.140 and they hid that amount in there.
00:09:20.100 And once they created the Steele dossier
00:09:23.160 that just made blatant lies about Donald Trump,
00:09:26.200 they then gave it to the FBI
00:09:28.500 and Obama, DOJ, and FBI officials
00:09:31.980 were active in covering up
00:09:34.060 that this came from the Hillary Clinton campaign.
00:09:36.520 And understand,
00:09:37.060 this is during the presidential campaign.
00:09:39.100 This is while the campaign is in full speed.
00:09:42.980 This false oppo research document
00:09:45.620 that was just concocted,
00:09:46.680 it was just created out of whole cloth,
00:09:48.880 it became the basis
00:09:50.140 for then an FBI investigation.
00:09:52.940 And that FBI investigation
00:09:54.620 was then eagerly leaked
00:09:58.620 to the press
00:10:00.060 and the press breathlessly reported on it.
00:10:02.360 And the fact
00:10:03.020 that the FBI was investigating it
00:10:05.460 took it as confirmation
00:10:07.360 that Vladimir Putin
00:10:09.960 was behind the Trump campaign.
00:10:11.680 And the entire operation
00:10:15.100 was a deliberate
00:10:16.840 and false misleading campaign.
00:10:23.100 They knew that it was.
00:10:25.580 And, you know,
00:10:26.200 here's one thing John Solomon
00:10:28.080 says about the Durham Annex
00:10:30.660 that just got released.
00:10:31.840 Quote,
00:10:32.340 This is the smoking gun evidence
00:10:34.200 inside the Durham Annex.
00:10:35.580 If it is authenticated
00:10:36.720 by further investigation,
00:10:38.780 it means liberal mega-donor
00:10:40.520 George Soros' team
00:10:41.980 knew the whole Clinton plan
00:10:44.600 for Russiagate hoax
00:10:46.040 four days before FBI
00:10:49.460 opened up the probe.
00:10:51.480 And so did Obama,
00:10:53.500 Brennan,
00:10:54.260 and Comey. 1.00
00:10:56.300 This was a deliberate lie.
00:10:58.500 And everyone involved in it
00:11:00.460 knew they were lying.
00:11:02.120 And they were lying,
00:11:03.400 number one,
00:11:04.900 because they wanted to
00:11:06.000 effectively steal the election,
00:11:07.840 mislead the American people.
00:11:08.960 And by the way,
00:11:09.560 the Washington Post
00:11:10.240 and the New York Times
00:11:11.000 both won Pulitzer Prizes
00:11:13.060 for reporting on these lies,
00:11:16.460 for repeating these lies,
00:11:18.060 for being an avenue
00:11:20.360 of propaganda
00:11:21.100 and disinformation.
00:11:24.200 So, of course,
00:11:25.100 the Washington Post
00:11:25.860 and the New York Times
00:11:26.700 are very reluctant
00:11:28.420 to cover what's being released now
00:11:29.940 because it shows
00:11:30.820 that they operated
00:11:32.080 essentially as misinformation
00:11:33.720 arms of the Hillary Clinton campaign.
00:11:36.080 They did it at first
00:11:37.120 hoping to win the election
00:11:38.240 through deception,
00:11:39.180 but then after the election was over,
00:11:41.180 after Donald Trump
00:11:41.880 was elected to his first term,
00:11:43.740 they did it within the government
00:11:45.360 to try to undermine
00:11:47.320 the newly elected president
00:11:48.920 of the United States.
00:11:49.800 And understand,
00:11:51.180 to do this,
00:11:52.060 it takes a real contempt,
00:11:53.940 not just for the incoming president,
00:11:55.520 it takes a contempt for the voters,
00:11:56.920 it takes a contempt
00:11:57.760 for the democratic process,
00:11:59.440 for someone that's
00:12:00.300 in a senior government position,
00:12:01.780 whether at the FBI
00:12:02.580 or at the CIA
00:12:03.460 or at the Department of Justice,
00:12:05.280 to say,
00:12:05.920 I don't care
00:12:07.620 that the American people
00:12:08.780 elected this president.
00:12:10.920 I don't like him.
00:12:12.100 I disagree with him.
00:12:13.480 And so,
00:12:14.040 I'm going to abuse
00:12:15.300 my government position
00:12:16.880 in order to try
00:12:18.660 to destroy the presidency
00:12:19.980 from within.
00:12:21.720 And this was not accidental.
00:12:24.660 This was not based
00:12:25.960 on misunderstandings.
00:12:27.520 This was a deliberate lie
00:12:29.840 and they knew they were lying.
00:12:30.820 You look at this
00:12:32.280 and you say,
00:12:32.900 okay,
00:12:33.300 this is a massive scheme.
00:12:35.680 Now the question is,
00:12:37.700 I go back to it,
00:12:38.740 I feel like I ask you this a lot
00:12:40.080 when we have these issues come out.
00:12:42.220 Will there be any accountability
00:12:43.580 for this?
00:12:45.080 We know that there's some
00:12:46.400 that were pardoned by Biden,
00:12:47.680 for example,
00:12:48.720 that there's the question
00:12:49.960 of was it the auto pen?
00:12:51.620 That doesn't come into play here
00:12:53.400 with Hillary Clinton.
00:12:54.780 There have been people saying,
00:12:55.600 well,
00:12:55.740 you're not going to be able
00:12:56.380 to get anything here
00:12:57.140 because it is what it is.
00:12:58.320 Politics is dirty.
00:12:59.340 Get over it.
00:12:59.940 Is this in the category
00:13:01.420 of politics is dirty?
00:13:02.600 Get over it.
00:13:03.200 Or is there more there?
00:13:05.060 So look,
00:13:05.740 I hope there is accountability.
00:13:07.540 Pam Bondi,
00:13:08.040 the attorney general,
00:13:08.760 has created a strike force
00:13:10.800 that is investigating
00:13:11.960 these lies,
00:13:14.080 investigating this cover-up.
00:13:16.040 The challenge is going to be
00:13:17.520 the statute of limitations.
00:13:18.740 And look,
00:13:19.000 a statute of limitations,
00:13:20.200 it's ordinarily for something
00:13:21.660 like this five years.
00:13:23.360 The statute of limitations
00:13:24.380 is designed to stop prosecutors
00:13:26.180 from bringing cases
00:13:27.600 on things that are
00:13:28.480 many,
00:13:28.760 many years,
00:13:29.340 decades old.
00:13:30.940 And there are a lot
00:13:31.600 of reasons for that.
00:13:32.940 But for most of this conduct,
00:13:35.920 it is past the statute
00:13:37.460 of limitations.
00:13:38.160 There's some exceptions.
00:13:39.060 So for example,
00:13:39.840 Andrew McCabe,
00:13:41.100 the deputy director
00:13:42.300 of the FBI,
00:13:43.360 lied to Congress
00:13:44.400 and he did so
00:13:45.080 within the last five years.
00:13:46.440 And so McCabe,
00:13:47.620 McCabe of all of the players
00:13:49.260 probably faces
00:13:50.300 the greatest legal jeopardy
00:13:51.780 because he's got,
00:13:53.240 if it can be demonstrated
00:13:54.340 that he deliberately
00:13:55.060 lied to Congress
00:13:55.880 under oath,
00:13:56.780 that is a felony
00:13:58.040 that carries jail time
00:13:59.220 with him.
00:14:00.460 With respect to other conduct,
00:14:03.480 other lies done under oath,
00:14:05.960 if it happened before
00:14:06.900 the statute of limitations,
00:14:08.120 the only way to bring
00:14:08.860 a prosecution
00:14:09.440 is for the prosecutors
00:14:11.260 to argue that the information
00:14:12.740 was concealed
00:14:13.620 and that told
00:14:14.620 the statute of limitations.
00:14:16.080 That's a plausible argument,
00:14:17.500 but it's difficult to prove.
00:14:18.920 It's not,
00:14:19.780 courts don't agree
00:14:21.240 with that often
00:14:21.960 and so that makes it
00:14:23.700 more challenging
00:14:24.620 to bring those cases.
00:14:25.880 So is this more
00:14:26.880 of an issue now
00:14:27.700 of, all right,
00:14:28.260 the American people
00:14:29.060 know they were lied to.
00:14:30.440 They know that there's
00:14:31.240 corruptions at the highest level
00:14:32.800 in our government.
00:14:33.700 They know that they did this
00:14:34.980 while they were in power
00:14:36.240 and they know they did it
00:14:38.540 to also cover up
00:14:39.620 and Hillary Clinton 0.90
00:14:40.780 has still not been
00:14:41.580 held accountable.
00:14:42.260 I mean,
00:14:42.580 some could argue
00:14:43.300 maybe on election day
00:14:44.240 when she was running
00:14:44.760 against Trump,
00:14:45.360 but with the email scandal
00:14:46.880 and the declassified documents,
00:14:48.860 you look at what she did
00:14:50.080 compared to what
00:14:50.760 they rated Mar-a-Lago over,
00:14:52.500 it is disgusting
00:14:53.540 the abuse of power 0.73
00:14:54.620 by the Democratic Party
00:14:55.680 over the last two administrations
00:14:57.620 when they've been in power.
00:14:59.380 It is,
00:15:00.500 and you look at a press release
00:15:01.740 the Hillary Clinton campaign
00:15:02.920 put out
00:15:03.480 and it reads as follows,
00:15:06.220 quote,
00:15:07.320 Hillary for America 1.00
00:15:08.280 statement on U.S. government
00:15:09.740 formally naming Russia
00:15:11.080 responsible for election-related hacks.
00:15:14.040 John Podesta,
00:15:14.860 chair of Hillary for America,
00:15:16.340 released the following statement Friday,
00:15:18.620 quote,
00:15:18.840 The world now knows
00:15:20.180 beyond a shadow of a doubt
00:15:21.520 that the hack
00:15:22.180 of the Democratic National Committee
00:15:23.420 was carried out
00:15:24.100 by the Russian government
00:15:24.980 in a clear attempt
00:15:26.160 to interfere with the integrity
00:15:27.320 of our elections.
00:15:28.500 The only remaining question
00:15:29.520 is why Donald Trump
00:15:30.420 continues to make apologies
00:15:31.560 for the Russians.
00:15:32.880 Trump's initial reaction
00:15:34.580 to the hack in July
00:15:35.600 was to invite further intrusions
00:15:37.140 by the Russians.
00:15:38.380 Even after he was reportedly briefed
00:15:39.960 on the very findings
00:15:40.820 that were just publicly announced
00:15:42.080 by the U.S. government officials,
00:15:43.800 he stood on a debate stage
00:15:45.020 one week ago 0.99
00:15:45.740 and played dumb 0.97
00:15:46.560 about Russia's role 0.99
00:15:47.420 in this hack.
00:15:47.980 He has repeatedly praised
00:15:49.800 Vladimir Putin,
00:15:50.940 outlined a list
00:15:51.740 of pro-Putin policies,
00:15:52.980 and has done hundreds
00:15:53.820 of millions of dollars
00:15:54.620 of business
00:15:55.020 with Russian interests.
00:15:56.560 Every word
00:15:57.680 of what that press release
00:15:58.820 said is false.
00:16:00.580 They knew it was false
00:16:01.720 and they were willing
00:16:02.680 to campaign based on lies
00:16:04.620 and Hillary Clinton, 1.00
00:16:06.000 according to this email,
00:16:07.240 personally approved
00:16:08.640 those lies.
00:16:10.580 Canadian women
00:16:11.440 are looking for more.
00:16:12.780 More out of themselves,
00:16:13.840 their businesses,
00:16:14.780 their elected leaders,
00:16:15.740 and the world around them.
00:16:16.940 And that's why we're thrilled
00:16:17.940 to introduce

00:16:42.080 Senator,
00:16:42.780 I want to get to this
00:16:43.840 other big issue,
00:16:44.660 and that is
00:16:45.260 Democrats
00:16:46.380 are not just
00:16:47.620 abandoning Israel.
00:16:48.600 They are straight up
00:16:50.140 anti-Israel.
00:16:51.480 And they're showing it now
00:16:52.920 as they're voting.
00:16:54.320 A record number
00:16:55.480 of Senate Democrats
00:16:56.260 are voting to block
00:16:57.340 weapons sales
00:16:59.380 to Israel.
00:17:00.480 They're doing it
00:17:01.200 in numbers
00:17:01.500 we've never seen before.
00:17:03.200 And this,
00:17:04.320 on top of the fact
00:17:05.180 that the New York Times
00:17:06.140 has had to
00:17:07.340 basically correct
00:17:09.260 the claim
00:17:10.380 about a viral photo
00:17:11.660 of a starving Gaza boy
00:17:13.280 they blamed on Israel.
00:17:14.760 It actually wasn't
00:17:15.700 true at all.
00:17:16.740 And they didn't correct it
00:17:18.280 like in the paper.
00:17:19.200 They did it on X
00:17:20.240 on their PR account
00:17:22.060 that, like,
00:17:22.680 no one follows.
00:17:24.020 This is now
00:17:24.960 how bad it's gotten
00:17:26.000 not only in the media
00:17:27.080 but also in D.C.
00:17:29.180 Well, you know,
00:17:29.920 when I arrived in the Senate
00:17:30.820 13 years ago,
00:17:32.160 there was meaningful
00:17:33.580 bipartisan support
00:17:34.880 for Israel.
00:17:35.520 It was one of the issues
00:17:36.340 that you could see
00:17:36.900 Republicans and Democrats
00:17:38.120 come together.
00:17:38.900 2013,
00:17:41.860 when I got here,
00:17:42.780 was the beginning
00:17:43.420 of the second term
00:17:44.240 of Barack Obama
00:17:45.060 and Barack Obama
00:17:45.900 began to turn
00:17:47.020 the Democrat Party
00:17:48.200 against Israel.
00:17:50.120 That turn
00:17:51.120 accelerated dramatically
00:17:52.520 during the Biden
00:17:53.240 administration
00:17:53.820 and Joe Biden
00:17:54.600 ended up being
00:17:55.320 the most anti-Israel
00:17:56.540 president
00:17:57.020 and the most
00:17:57.960 anti-Israel
00:17:58.740 administration
00:17:59.380 we've ever seen.
00:18:00.300 Joe Biden,
00:18:01.320 in the midst of a war
00:18:02.480 that Israel was in,
00:18:04.720 cut off weapons,
00:18:05.700 froze weapons
00:18:06.420 to Israel
00:18:06.980 and did so
00:18:07.880 specifically to prevent
00:18:09.140 Israel from
00:18:09.960 killing terrorists, 0.99
00:18:11.360 Hamas terrorists, 0.99
00:18:12.160 who had attacked
00:18:12.900 Israel viciously 1.00
00:18:14.600 in one of the
00:18:15.340 most horrific
00:18:16.220 terrorist attacks
00:18:17.060 in world history,
00:18:18.160 October 7th,
00:18:19.280 where Hamas murdered
00:18:20.720 over 1,200 civilians,
00:18:23.020 targeted civilians
00:18:23.880 directly, 1.00
00:18:25.340 raped and murdered 1.00
00:18:26.360 women and little girls 1.00
00:18:27.840 and the Democrats
00:18:29.480 looking at
00:18:30.360 the aftermath
00:18:30.980 of this,
00:18:32.360 more and more
00:18:33.060 of them decided
00:18:33.800 they stand with Hamas 0.97
00:18:35.260 and sadly
00:18:36.420 there is a real
00:18:37.800 and growing
00:18:39.340 pro-Hamas 0.85
00:18:40.240 contingent
00:18:40.860 of the Democrat
00:18:41.360 Party
00:18:41.840 today.
00:18:43.420 This week
00:18:44.140 Bernie Sanders
00:18:45.560 brought a resolution
00:18:46.520 trying to block
00:18:47.520 weapons sales
00:18:48.220 to Israel.
00:18:49.120 Now Bernie Sanders
00:18:50.100 has been
00:18:50.720 rabidly anti-Israel
00:18:52.180 for a long time.
00:18:53.360 Most left-wing
00:18:54.140 socialists
00:18:54.720 and Marxists
00:18:55.320 are.
00:18:56.400 But Bernie Sanders'
00:18:57.900 resolutions
00:18:58.380 trying to cut off
00:18:59.280 Israel usually
00:19:00.120 failed and usually
00:19:00.980 failed with a big,
00:19:01.940 big vote.
00:19:03.000 Well this week
00:19:03.820 the Senate rejected
00:19:05.120 it again
00:19:05.500 and we rejected
00:19:06.180 it by a vote
00:19:06.800 of 70 to 27.
00:19:08.620 But there were
00:19:09.180 27 votes
00:19:10.540 in favor of
00:19:12.340 Bernie Sanders'
00:19:13.160 resolution.
00:19:13.900 There are only
00:19:14.540 47 Democrats
00:19:16.200 in the Senate.
00:19:16.900 That means
00:19:17.300 more than half
00:19:19.120 of the Senate
00:19:20.320 Democrats
00:19:20.800 voted to cut off
00:19:22.160 funding for Israel.
00:19:23.220 That is a dramatic
00:19:24.040 shift and by the way
00:19:25.200 if you compare it
00:19:26.860 to in April
00:19:27.440 we had a similar vote
00:19:29.120 and only 15 Democrats
00:19:31.240 voted for it
00:19:32.020 in November of 2024
00:19:33.580 18 Democrats
00:19:34.880 voted for it.
00:19:35.660 So moving up
00:19:36.740 to 27
00:19:37.880 is a major shift
00:19:40.340 and it is
00:19:42.020 a disturbing
00:19:43.000 pattern
00:19:43.520 where when
00:19:45.360 faced with
00:19:46.440 a choice
00:19:47.300 do we support
00:19:48.300 Hamas 0.96
00:19:48.760 or do we support
00:19:49.720 Israel
00:19:50.220 more and more
00:19:51.640 Democrats
00:19:52.240 they're afraid
00:19:52.980 of the AOCs
00:19:54.180 they're afraid
00:19:54.780 of the Ilhan Omars
00:19:55.880 they're afraid
00:19:56.420 of the Rashida Tlaibs
00:19:57.540 in the House
00:19:58.120 the pro-Hamas 1.00
00:19:59.980 squad
00:20:00.860 and they're also
00:20:02.240 afraid of the
00:20:02.980 radical protesters
00:20:03.780 on college campuses
00:20:04.780 understand those
00:20:05.520 protesters are funded
00:20:06.700 by George Soros
00:20:07.700 they're funded
00:20:08.200 by the same people
00:20:09.020 who fund the
00:20:09.520 Democrat Party
00:20:10.240 and more and more
00:20:11.700 elected Democrats
00:20:12.520 have decided
00:20:13.380 that they will
00:20:15.420 not anger
00:20:16.320 the pro-Hamas 1.00
00:20:17.280 radicals
00:20:18.040 and so I've got
00:20:19.080 to say
00:20:19.460 it is sad
00:20:20.800 to see
00:20:21.280 but
00:20:22.920 let me ask you
00:20:23.560 a question
00:20:23.840 by the way
00:20:24.300 you mentioned
00:20:24.920 yeah
00:20:26.000 and let me ask
00:20:26.840 you this
00:20:27.120 so look
00:20:27.840 we know
00:20:28.480 that there's
00:20:29.280 more people
00:20:30.640 on the House
00:20:31.100 side
00:20:31.500 so you'll get
00:20:32.040 some you know
00:20:32.820 fringe groups
00:20:33.660 on the House
00:20:34.120 side
00:20:34.440 on the Democratic
00:20:34.960 Party
00:20:35.440 even like
00:20:37.000 more hardcore
00:20:37.600 conservatives
00:20:38.040 we've seen
00:20:38.280 in the past
00:20:38.860 with conservative
00:20:39.660 caucuses
00:20:40.480 you can see
00:20:41.900 numbers move
00:20:42.820 there
00:20:43.160 the Senate's
00:20:44.440 kind of been
00:20:45.140 like the place
00:20:46.060 of elder statesmen
00:20:47.280 and like
00:20:48.560 there's certain
00:20:49.200 issues
00:20:49.660 that you
00:20:50.240 kind of
00:20:50.780 just see
00:20:51.320 that like
00:20:51.740 hey
00:20:51.920 we're going
00:20:52.260 to be
00:20:52.460 the adults
00:20:53.060 in the room
00:20:53.720 I think
00:20:55.300 that's the
00:20:55.960 scariest part
00:20:56.740 of these votes
00:20:57.280 I'm witnessing
00:20:57.720 now is
00:20:58.320 this
00:20:59.200 has moved
00:21:00.620 from the House
00:21:01.400 and the radicals
00:21:02.340 there that you
00:21:02.800 kind of expect
00:21:03.520 it through
00:21:03.940 that the AOC
00:21:04.720 and her group
00:21:05.760 right
00:21:06.100 you expect it
00:21:07.280 but now it's
00:21:07.960 moved into
00:21:08.840 the Senate
00:21:09.720 chamber
00:21:10.180 and that is
00:21:11.520 really I think
00:21:12.740 telling about
00:21:13.280 the anti-Semitism
00:21:14.140 in the Democratic
00:21:14.860 Party
00:21:15.260 am I wrong
00:21:15.680 more than half
00:21:17.200 of the Senate
00:21:18.620 Democrats
00:21:19.120 voted to cut off
00:21:20.560 military funding
00:21:21.520 for Israel
00:21:22.220 that's a milestone
00:21:23.040 that's never
00:21:23.560 happened before
00:21:24.240 and by the way
00:21:25.260 it happened
00:21:25.660 at the exact
00:21:26.340 same time
00:21:27.080 that we saw
00:21:28.480 three governments
00:21:29.800 worldwide
00:21:30.380 governments of
00:21:31.200 U.S. allies
00:21:31.980 but that are
00:21:32.520 led by leftists
00:21:33.660 the government
00:21:34.740 of the United
00:21:35.240 Kingdom
00:21:35.660 the government
00:21:36.560 of France
00:21:37.140 and the government
00:21:37.720 of Canada
00:21:38.300 all came out
00:21:39.920 in favor
00:21:40.500 of recognizing
00:21:41.520 an independent
00:21:42.460 Palestinian state
00:21:43.720 and I want you
00:21:44.180 to think about
00:21:44.760 the message
00:21:45.460 that the UK
00:21:46.440 and France
00:21:47.160 and Canada
00:21:47.660 are saying
00:21:48.200 they're saying
00:21:48.760 Hamas 0.96
00:21:49.360 your terrorism
00:21:50.680 worked
00:21:51.100 they're saying
00:21:51.600 to Hamas
00:21:52.200 we're glad 0.99
00:21:53.040 you murdered 0.99
00:21:53.560 1200 innocent
00:21:54.680 civilians
00:21:55.140 we're glad 1.00
00:21:55.840 you raped 1.00
00:21:56.520 women and little 1.00
00:21:57.540 girls 0.98
00:21:57.760 by the way
00:21:58.120 they're also
00:21:58.480 saying to Hamas 0.96
00:21:59.280 we're glad
00:21:59.840 you continue
00:22:00.600 to keep
00:22:01.240 hostages
00:22:02.360 to this day
00:22:03.060 you do not
00:22:03.600 release the
00:22:04.140 hostages
00:22:04.620 they're saying
00:22:05.700 to Hamas
00:22:06.260 we're glad
00:22:07.100 you're responsible
00:22:08.340 for starving 0.97
00:22:09.300 Palestinians
00:22:09.920 in Gaza
00:22:10.500 understand
00:22:11.100 that the human
00:22:12.600 suffering in Gaza
00:22:13.520 is the direct
00:22:14.260 result of Hamas 0.92
00:22:15.260 Hamas could end
00:22:16.220 this right now
00:22:16.940 and Donald Trump
00:22:17.600 by contrast
00:22:18.360 put out a tweet
00:22:19.580 this week
00:22:20.120 and he said
00:22:20.500 Hamas could end
00:22:21.520 the suffering
00:22:22.440 right now
00:22:23.400 by stopping
00:22:24.780 fighting
00:22:25.240 and releasing
00:22:25.760 the hostages
00:22:26.460 they don't want
00:22:27.380 to and in fact
00:22:28.200 Hamas is actively 0.75
00:22:29.920 negotiating
00:22:30.680 you know what
00:22:31.020 they're negotiating
00:22:31.580 for
00:22:31.980 cut off
00:22:33.100 food aid
00:22:34.200 for Palestinians
00:22:36.340 in Gaza
00:22:37.180 we Hamas
00:22:38.320 want to control
00:22:39.060 all the food
00:22:39.780 because it's
00:22:40.400 one of the ways
00:22:41.480 we keep in
00:22:43.660 power
00:22:44.100 is by starving
00:22:45.180 anyone who
00:22:45.900 opposes us
00:22:46.780 that is who
00:22:48.320 the United Kingdom
00:22:49.520 and France
00:22:50.240 and the Canadian
00:22:50.840 government
00:22:51.300 is supporting
00:22:52.520 and that is also
00:22:53.500 sadly who
00:22:54.440 now a majority
00:22:55.300 of Senate Democrats
00:22:56.060 are supporting
00:22:56.680 you also look at
00:22:58.880 the media
00:22:59.280 and there's a second
00:22:59.880 part of this
00:23:00.480 conversation
00:23:01.240 the New York Times
00:23:02.880 has had to
00:23:04.420 roll back a claim
00:23:05.820 they put it out
00:23:06.700 there of a viral
00:23:07.500 photo of a
00:23:08.720 starving Gaza
00:23:09.620 boy
00:23:10.040 it was
00:23:11.380 propaganda
00:23:12.400 it was
00:23:13.240 clearly propaganda
00:23:14.960 from the terrorists
00:23:16.380 and those that
00:23:17.700 want you to
00:23:18.440 somehow believe
00:23:19.220 that Israel
00:23:19.620 is starving 0.91
00:23:20.260 kids
00:23:20.880 it did not
00:23:22.480 happen that
00:23:23.220 way at all
00:23:24.260 the New York
00:23:25.360 Times was
00:23:26.340 forced to
00:23:27.160 correct it
00:23:27.760 and I think
00:23:28.560 they did it
00:23:29.040 in such a
00:23:29.520 disgusting way
00:23:31.840 because they 0.69
00:23:32.840 issued their
00:23:33.680 statement sharing
00:23:34.600 how they
00:23:35.180 quote
00:23:35.480 originally didn't
00:23:36.300 include
00:23:36.980 this boy's
00:23:38.600 pre-existing
00:23:39.380 health
00:23:39.800 condition
00:23:40.320 but they
00:23:41.080 didn't really
00:23:41.460 do it
00:23:41.700 in the
00:23:41.820 newspaper
00:23:42.220 like on
00:23:42.640 the front
00:23:42.920 page
00:23:43.200 the same
00:23:43.800 way they
00:23:44.020 did the
00:23:44.300 picture
00:23:44.740 the damage
00:23:45.820 has already
00:23:46.080 been done
00:23:46.480 they corrected
00:23:47.460 the story
00:23:48.060 by going to
00:23:48.940 the New York
00:23:49.300 Times
00:23:49.680 PR
00:23:50.440 Twitter
00:23:52.420 not even
00:23:53.060 the New York
00:23:53.600 Times
00:23:54.080 Twitter account
00:23:54.760 the New York
00:23:55.260 Times
00:23:55.780 PR account
00:23:56.840 that virtually
00:23:57.380 no one's
00:23:58.120 going to see
00:23:58.640 yeah look
00:24:00.440 this was not
00:24:01.480 a picture
00:24:01.920 that they
00:24:02.680 just had
00:24:03.380 as a
00:24:03.900 kind of
00:24:04.340 side note
00:24:05.100 in a small
00:24:05.900 story
00:24:06.360 this is a
00:24:07.560 picture the New
00:24:08.180 York Times
00:24:08.660 put on the
00:24:09.080 front page
00:24:09.720 it occupies
00:24:11.560 more than
00:24:12.300 half of the
00:24:13.660 front page
00:24:14.320 above the
00:24:14.800 fold
00:24:15.060 it is a
00:24:15.520 massive
00:24:15.860 picture
00:24:16.280 and it's a
00:24:16.960 horrible
00:24:17.200 picture
00:24:17.540 it's a
00:24:17.840 picture of
00:24:18.240 a little
00:24:18.540 boy
00:24:18.980 he appears
00:24:20.240 to be
00:24:20.600 starving
00:24:21.040 his spine
00:24:21.860 is sticking
00:24:22.340 out
00:24:22.640 I mean
00:24:22.840 it's a
00:24:23.180 very disturbing
00:24:23.840 it's an
00:24:24.140 18 month
00:24:24.740 old
00:24:25.100 child
00:24:26.360 which
00:24:26.780 they
00:24:27.740 said he
00:24:29.260 was starving
00:24:30.060 he faced
00:24:31.080 life threatening
00:24:32.020 malnutrition
00:24:32.840 and they
00:24:33.420 blamed that
00:24:33.960 on Israel
00:24:34.380 and they
00:24:35.000 used it
00:24:35.700 to push
00:24:36.760 Hamas's 0.99
00:24:37.320 propaganda
00:24:37.920 after they
00:24:40.280 did that
00:24:40.860 the New
00:24:41.620 York Times
00:24:42.100 was forced
00:24:42.580 to issue
00:24:42.940 a correction
00:24:43.440 and they
00:24:43.720 did the
00:24:43.980 correction
00:24:44.360 as you
00:24:44.840 noted
00:24:45.100 on Twitter
00:24:46.000 where no
00:24:46.380 one would
00:24:46.660 see it
00:24:47.100 and their
00:24:48.100 correction
00:24:48.700 says that
00:24:50.440 what they
00:24:50.760 didn't tell
00:24:51.400 people
00:24:51.640 here's what
00:24:52.060 their statement
00:24:52.540 was
00:24:52.880 quote
00:24:53.160 children in
00:24:53.680 Gaza are 0.97
00:24:54.080 malnourished
00:24:54.540 and starving
00:24:55.040 as New
00:24:55.320 York reporters
00:24:55.840 and others
00:24:56.180 have documented
00:24:56.740 we recently
00:24:57.740 ran a story
00:24:58.260 about Gaza's
00:24:58.840 most vulnerable
00:24:59.360 civilians
00:24:59.840 including
00:25:00.240 Mohammed
00:25:00.680 Zakir
00:25:01.520 al-Mataqwa
00:25:02.960 who is about
00:25:04.520 18 months old
00:25:05.460 and suffers
00:25:06.080 from severe
00:25:06.700 malnutrition
00:25:07.340 we have since
00:25:08.520 learned new
00:25:08.980 information
00:25:09.480 including from
00:25:10.140 the hospital
00:25:10.620 that is treating
00:25:11.120 him and his
00:25:11.720 medical records
00:25:12.440 and have updated
00:25:13.720 our story
00:25:14.220 to add context
00:25:15.140 about his
00:25:15.600 pre-existing
00:25:16.180 health problems
00:25:17.040 this additional
00:25:18.120 detail gives
00:25:18.820 readers greater
00:25:19.360 understanding
00:25:19.880 of his
00:25:20.120 situation
00:25:21.340 our reporters
00:25:23.000 and photographers
00:25:23.680 continue to
00:25:24.420 report from
00:25:24.980 Gaza
00:25:25.360 bravely
00:25:26.400 sensitively
00:25:27.600 and at
00:25:27.920 personal risk
00:25:28.800 so that our
00:25:29.780 readers can see
00:25:30.540 firsthand the
00:25:31.460 consequences of
00:25:32.460 the war
00:25:32.900 that's their 0.96
00:25:34.060 fairly ridiculous 0.89
00:25:34.900 retraction
00:25:35.500 where they admit
00:25:36.100 they're lying
00:25:36.580 to you
00:25:37.060 now here's
00:25:38.100 what they
00:25:38.340 didn't tell
00:25:38.720 us
00:25:39.000 that Mohammed's 0.99
00:25:41.100 mother indicated
00:25:42.340 that her son
00:25:42.960 suffers from
00:25:44.080 quote a muscle
00:25:45.020 disorder
00:25:45.620 through which he
00:25:46.740 received specialized
00:25:47.680 nutrition and
00:25:48.620 physical therapy
00:25:49.480 and another
00:25:52.080 journalist reported
00:25:53.080 the young boy
00:25:53.820 has quote
00:25:54.500 cerebral palsy
00:25:56.420 hypo
00:25:57.500 eczemia 0.73
00:25:58.400 and was born
00:25:59.680 with a serious
00:26:00.600 genetic order
00:26:01.440 so they
00:26:01.840 they showed
00:26:02.440 a child
00:26:02.940 who's very
00:26:03.900 sick
00:26:04.380 but he's 0.84
00:26:05.080 not very
00:26:05.480 sick from
00:26:05.940 starvation
00:26:06.520 he's very
00:26:06.920 sick from
00:26:07.340 other medical
00:26:08.200 conditions
00:26:08.800 and the
00:26:09.680 New York
00:26:10.060 Times
00:26:10.580 happily plays
00:26:12.340 the role
00:26:12.940 of Hamas's 0.87
00:26:13.720 propagandists
00:26:14.740 and sadly
00:26:16.320 Senate Democrats
00:26:17.160 are cheering
00:26:17.860 on that
00:26:18.780 false propaganda
00:26:19.900 interestingly
00:26:20.620 enough
00:26:20.980 the pattern
00:26:21.920 of this
00:26:22.380 is exactly
00:26:23.820 the same
00:26:24.300 as the
00:26:24.580 pattern
00:26:24.880 of Hillary 1.00
00:26:25.500 Clinton
00:26:25.840 signing off
00:26:26.520 on the
00:26:26.800 false
00:26:27.120 Russia story
00:26:28.380 it is
00:26:29.080 take a
00:26:29.960 lie
00:26:30.300 count on
00:26:31.440 the corporate
00:26:31.820 media to
00:26:32.300 spread that
00:26:32.800 lie
00:26:33.080 count on
00:26:33.540 Democrat
00:26:33.920 politicians
00:26:34.500 to spread
00:26:35.100 that lie
00:26:35.680 and count
00:26:36.660 on friendly
00:26:37.160 governments
00:26:37.620 to spread
00:26:38.220 that lie
00:26:38.720 as well
00:26:39.240 and everyone
00:26:41.040 involved knows
00:26:42.740 they are lying
00:26:43.460 but their
00:26:43.800 political agenda
00:26:44.640 in this instance
00:26:45.420 they hate
00:26:46.280 Israel 0.53
00:26:46.680 they want
00:26:47.060 to undermine
00:26:47.700 Israel
00:26:48.140 and they want
00:26:48.580 to elevate
00:26:49.180 Hamas 0.96
00:26:49.880 and sadly
00:26:51.100 that more
00:26:51.760 and more
00:26:52.060 Senate Democrats
00:26:52.740 are falling
00:26:53.180 into that camp
00:26:53.860 Senator I want
00:26:55.200 to move
00:26:55.540 to this
00:26:56.460 new report
00:26:57.200 that's come
00:26:57.680 out
00:26:57.980 and it
00:26:59.100 is something
00:26:59.980 that we
00:27:00.520 have been
00:27:01.060 really like
00:27:02.560 raising the
00:27:03.380 flag on
00:27:04.000 saying pay
00:27:04.760 attention to
00:27:05.380 this be
00:27:05.860 careful where
00:27:06.440 you send
00:27:06.920 your kids
00:27:07.300 to college
00:27:08.040 be careful
00:27:09.060 that they're
00:27:09.540 going to be
00:27:09.800 indoctrinated
00:27:10.320 to hate
00:27:10.640 America
00:27:11.120 and be
00:27:12.660 careful where
00:27:13.520 you send
00:27:13.900 your kids
00:27:14.280 because there's
00:27:14.860 a lot of
00:27:15.400 money that's
00:27:15.900 coming in
00:27:16.480 from countries
00:27:17.860 that are trying
00:27:18.620 to undermine
00:27:19.120 America
00:27:19.600 and hate 0.86
00:27:20.380 America
00:27:20.860 we're now
00:27:22.220 seeing more
00:27:23.120 of this
00:27:23.920 at Harvard
00:27:24.700 with Harvard's
00:27:26.160 ties now
00:27:27.240 directly to
00:27:27.960 the Chinese
00:27:28.780 Communist Party
00:27:29.560 elites
00:27:30.220 that has been
00:27:31.460 revealed on a
00:27:32.400 level we haven't
00:27:33.120 seen before
00:27:33.960 and it's even
00:27:35.360 more shocking
00:27:36.160 of where Harvard's
00:27:37.260 getting their
00:27:37.720 cash
00:27:38.220 and look
00:27:38.880 China is not 0.99
00:27:39.880 doing this
00:27:40.560 because they
00:27:41.260 like Harvard
00:27:41.900 they're clearly
00:27:42.900 doing it
00:27:43.400 for influence
00:27:44.300 unquestionably
00:27:46.760 and you know
00:27:47.560 some have
00:27:48.220 criticized the
00:27:49.120 Trump administration
00:27:49.780 going after
00:27:50.600 Harvard University
00:27:51.460 Harvard is the
00:27:52.740 most influential
00:27:53.480 university on
00:27:54.300 the face of
00:27:54.720 the planet
00:27:55.140 and it
00:27:57.420 also many
00:27:58.800 universities in
00:27:59.720 America have
00:28:00.460 been in bed 0.99
00:28:01.180 with the Chinese
00:28:01.780 Communist Party
00:28:02.600 the Chinese
00:28:03.920 government spends
00:28:05.300 millions of
00:28:06.080 dollars trying to
00:28:07.020 get influence
00:28:07.820 and trying to
00:28:08.720 brainwash our
00:28:09.940 students trying to
00:28:10.800 control our
00:28:11.360 universities and
00:28:12.680 far too many
00:28:13.540 universities have
00:28:14.220 been really eager
00:28:15.020 to participate in
00:28:15.980 that and Harvard
00:28:16.540 has been right at
00:28:17.240 the front of the
00:28:17.700 list well this
00:28:19.040 week the House
00:28:20.000 of Representatives
00:28:20.580 has an investigation
00:28:21.560 and they sent a
00:28:22.700 letter to the
00:28:23.120 president of
00:28:23.540 Harvard this
00:28:24.000 is a letter
00:28:24.420 from John
00:28:25.380 Moulinard who
00:28:26.100 is the chairman
00:28:26.600 of the select
00:28:27.160 committee on the
00:28:27.840 CCP in the
00:28:28.600 House it's from
00:28:29.860 Tim Wahlberg who
00:28:30.680 is the chairman
00:28:31.100 of the House
00:28:31.740 Committee on
00:28:32.220 Education and
00:28:32.840 Workforce and
00:28:34.080 it's from
00:28:34.400 Elise Stefanik who
00:28:35.340 is the chairwoman
00:28:35.920 of House
00:28:36.280 Republican
00:28:36.660 Leadership and
00:28:37.960 here's what the
00:28:39.520 letter says it's
00:28:40.140 addressed to the
00:28:40.660 president of
00:28:41.020 Harvard University
00:28:41.620 Alan Garber and
00:28:43.120 it says dear
00:28:43.720 President Garber the
00:28:45.320 select committee on
00:28:46.120 the Chinese
00:28:46.500 Communist Party
00:28:47.200 and the
00:28:47.400 committee on
00:28:47.760 education and
00:28:48.360 workforce have
00:28:48.980 identified new
00:28:49.840 evidence related to
00:28:50.720 Harvard University's
00:28:51.620 connections to the
00:28:52.820 Chinese Communist Party
00:28:53.920 and request additional
00:28:55.420 information during our
00:28:57.380 investigation multiple
00:28:59.040 whistleblowers told us 0.74
00:29:00.200 that Harvard has
00:29:00.920 maintained close
00:29:02.500 formal relationships
00:29:04.140 directly with Chinese
00:29:06.160 Communist Party
00:29:06.940 entities specifically
00:29:08.420 whistleblower
00:29:09.620 information revealed
00:29:10.640 ties between Harvard
00:29:11.780 and the central
00:29:13.180 organization department
00:29:14.560 of the central
00:29:15.360 committee of the
00:29:16.040 CCP as well as
00:29:17.940 certain Chinese
00:29:18.700 government entities
00:29:19.580 the CCP
00:29:20.880 organization department
00:29:21.960 is one of the most
00:29:22.620 powerful bodies within
00:29:23.660 the Communist Party
00:29:24.520 it is responsible for
00:29:26.560 the regimented
00:29:27.320 regimented training
00:29:28.360 program centered on
00:29:30.240 Xi Jinping thought
00:29:31.640 provided to the
00:29:32.720 party elites and
00:29:34.200 controls the
00:29:35.140 placement of
00:29:35.920 CCP members in
00:29:37.240 key leadership
00:29:37.780 positions
00:29:38.420 the whistleblowers
00:29:40.040 also revealed that
00:29:41.020 Harvard cultivates
00:29:42.180 ties with elite
00:29:43.300 CCP members
00:29:44.480 for example
00:29:45.680 whistleblowers 1.00
00:29:47.080 leaders reveal that
00:29:47.700 the Harvard Kennedy
00:29:48.340 School hosts a
00:29:49.200 formal partnership
00:29:50.140 with the Chinese
00:29:51.500 executive leadership
00:29:52.560 academy
00:29:53.220 Pudong
00:29:53.880 which is controlled
00:29:55.480 by the CCP
00:29:56.340 organization department
00:29:57.640 under that
00:29:58.540 partnership
00:29:59.020 the rising CCP
00:30:00.620 elite who are
00:30:01.360 being prepared for
00:30:02.240 senior communist
00:30:03.240 party leadership
00:30:03.960 positions
00:30:04.600 participate in
00:30:06.080 training
00:30:06.620 at Harvard
00:30:08.180 in the United
00:30:09.500 States
00:30:10.040 additional publicly
00:30:11.660 available information
00:30:12.660 indicates that some
00:30:13.600 of these relationships
00:30:14.400 have been in place
00:30:15.720 for at least a
00:30:17.100 decade
00:30:17.700 in 2016 a
00:30:19.580 high-ranking member
00:30:20.340 of the Chinese
00:30:20.860 Academy of Social
00:30:21.640 Sciences stated that
00:30:22.820 Chinese quote
00:30:23.760 party and government
00:30:25.280 cadres participate
00:30:27.080 in education and
00:30:28.700 training run by the
00:30:29.980 CCP organization
00:30:30.860 department
00:30:31.520 the Chinese government
00:30:33.140 sends some cadres
00:30:34.240 abroad abroad to the
00:30:35.960 John F. Kennedy
00:30:36.740 School of Government
00:30:37.620 at Harvard
00:30:38.640 University
00:30:39.240 This is shocking
00:30:40.920 and it certainly
00:30:44.100 appears from
00:30:45.040 this investigation
00:30:46.040 and they request
00:30:47.080 all documents
00:30:48.280 related to any
00:30:48.980 engagement between
00:30:49.840 Harvard and the
00:30:50.580 CCP and the
00:30:51.380 government of China
00:30:52.140 and a list of all
00:30:54.340 money that has come
00:30:55.220 from China and the
00:30:56.080 Chinese government
00:30:56.840 and my prediction
00:30:58.660 is Harvard is going
00:30:59.400 to fight tooth and
00:31:00.280 nail not to turn
00:31:01.200 this over because
00:31:01.940 they don't want
00:31:02.600 people to know
00:31:03.500 just how eager
00:31:06.360 they have been
00:31:07.200 to be in bed
00:31:08.260 with the communists
00:31:10.300 running the
00:31:10.740 Chinese government
00:31:11.440 Can we also
00:31:13.020 just be very clear
00:31:13.920 like China doesn't 0.97
00:31:14.880 do this because
00:31:15.560 they like higher
00:31:16.240 education or
00:31:17.260 they're just trying
00:31:17.740 to get let's say
00:31:19.040 their students in
00:31:19.720 that would be like
00:31:20.340 the most G-rated
00:31:21.180 version of a story
00:31:22.700 that you could tell
00:31:23.540 they're doing this
00:31:25.100 to buy genuine
00:31:26.360 influence at the
00:31:27.240 highest levels in
00:31:28.420 academia in America
00:31:29.440 and also this could
00:31:31.460 have major
00:31:32.240 consequences for
00:31:33.420 the U.S.
00:31:34.160 when it comes to
00:31:35.220 national security
00:31:36.220 or spies and
00:31:37.760 countless other
00:31:38.580 infiltration activities
00:31:39.780 that they're a part
00:31:40.520 of all the time
00:31:41.540 Look that's exactly
00:31:44.060 right you look at
00:31:46.180 Harvard trains many
00:31:47.780 of our nation's
00:31:48.560 elite for example
00:31:49.780 I just typed in a
00:31:51.340 quick list on
00:31:52.700 on AI how many
00:31:55.180 senators went to
00:31:56.140 Harvard and AI
00:31:57.680 promptly gave me an
00:31:58.680 answer there are
00:31:59.200 currently 12 senators
00:32:00.180 who are Harvard
00:32:00.780 alumni and I will
00:32:03.220 admit sadly that it
00:32:04.380 came back and says
00:32:05.220 the list includes
00:32:06.220 individuals like
00:32:06.940 Ted Cruz, Tim
00:32:07.660 Kaine, Jack Reed,
00:32:08.520 Chuck Schumer and
00:32:09.120 Mitt Romney so I'm
00:32:10.760 a little embarrassed
00:32:11.340 to be the first name
00:32:12.180 on that list but
00:32:14.200 that is part of the
00:32:15.580 reason that Harvard
00:32:17.240 puts that Harvard
00:32:19.240 that China puts that
00:32:20.880 money into Harvard
00:32:21.680 into Columbia and
00:32:22.760 into elite universities
00:32:24.140 across this country
00:32:25.140 is they want to
00:32:27.040 train America's
00:32:28.120 leaders they want
00:32:28.720 to train members of
00:32:30.020 Congress they want
00:32:30.680 to train members of
00:32:31.400 the executive branch
00:32:32.180 they want to train
00:32:32.740 federal judges they
00:32:33.600 want to train the
00:32:34.180 foreign policies
00:32:34.880 apparatus and they
00:32:37.220 are trying to train
00:32:38.100 them and they're
00:32:39.560 trying to propagandize
00:32:40.620 they use this for
00:32:41.780 brainwashing they use
00:32:42.980 this for espionage and
00:32:45.100 and far too many of
00:32:46.920 our universities have
00:32:47.800 been so eager to take
00:32:49.060 the money that they
00:32:51.260 have welcomed Chinese
00:32:52.700 communists with open
00:32:53.740 arms.
00:32:55.460 When you look at where
00:32:57.400 they are right now and
00:32:59.020 you look at Harvard is
00:33:00.220 this just about the
00:33:01.780 money do you think or is
00:33:02.920 this also about the
00:33:03.800 fact that Harvard has
00:33:05.340 no problem agreeing on
00:33:07.480 a lot of issues with
00:33:08.500 China.
00:33:10.020 Well it's both and
00:33:11.380 and listen the Harvard
00:33:12.200 faculty is is hard
00:33:13.640 left one one point I've
00:33:15.100 I've said many times is
00:33:16.220 is that when I was a
00:33:17.020 student at Harvard Law
00:33:17.760 School there were more
00:33:19.680 professors who were
00:33:21.560 communists than there
00:33:23.480 were who were
00:33:24.180 Republicans and and
00:33:25.340 that's not hyperbole
00:33:26.360 that there were at
00:33:27.040 least a dozen
00:33:27.700 professors who openly
00:33:29.560 said they were Marxists
00:33:30.760 that they were followers
00:33:31.620 of the teachers
00:33:32.340 teachings of Karl Marx
00:33:33.560 and and followers of
00:33:34.680 you know Karl Marx is
00:33:36.440 the father of communism
00:33:37.440 that when I was a
00:33:38.920 student there there was
00:33:39.780 only one professor who
00:33:41.340 openly identified as
00:33:42.740 Republican that was
00:33:44.680 Charles Freed and by
00:33:46.000 the way Charles Freed
00:33:47.000 the lone Republican on
00:33:48.060 the faculty voted for
00:33:49.600 Barack Obama so so
00:33:50.760 their lone Republican
00:33:51.640 voted for Obama as
00:33:52.840 well that that was the
00:33:54.680 range of thought 30
00:33:56.120 years ago and it is
00:33:57.920 much much worse now
00:33:59.660 as you know my most
00:34:01.860 recent book is
00:34:02.660 entitled Unwoke how
00:34:03.940 to defeat cultural 0.99
00:34:04.780 Marxism in America
00:34:05.800 and and the opening
00:34:07.320 chapter talks about
00:34:08.760 cultural Marxism how
00:34:10.260 it it it grew at
00:34:12.500 Harvard University it
00:34:13.840 spread to universities
00:34:14.780 throughout this country
00:34:15.760 it spread to K through
00:34:16.680 12 education to
00:34:18.060 journalism to big
00:34:18.980 business to big tech
00:34:19.940 to entertainment and
00:34:21.620 and and sadly you know
00:34:23.180 I call the universities
00:34:24.300 the Wuhan lab of the
00:34:27.320 woke virus because
00:34:28.440 they're where it was
00:34:29.180 created they're where
00:34:30.740 it mutated and they're
00:34:31.780 where it spread and
00:34:32.920 and and Harvard was
00:34:35.120 was ground zero for
00:34:37.480 that spread final
00:34:40.280 question on this will
00:34:41.480 Congress be able to
00:34:42.560 really do anything on
00:34:43.920 this issue to stop this
00:34:46.340 type of money coming
00:34:47.340 into these universities
00:34:48.340 look I hope so one of
00:34:50.820 the very first pieces of
00:34:51.880 legislation that I
00:34:52.680 passed 13 years ago
00:34:54.020 was legislation that
00:34:55.940 banned Defense Department
00:34:57.660 money from going to
00:34:59.100 universities that have
00:35:00.500 Confucius Institutes
00:35:02.160 Confucius Institutes
00:35:03.280 were paid for by the
00:35:04.500 Chinese Communist 0.72
00:35:05.160 government they were at
00:35:06.640 universities all over
00:35:07.880 the country I got that
00:35:09.020 through I got that
00:35:09.800 passed and signed into
00:35:10.940 law actually got
