00:03:02.240And on top of that, they're also offering more than 40 other free online courses, including a course on C.S. Lewis,
00:03:10.380the stories of the book of Genesis, the rise and fall of the Roman Republic.
00:03:14.220And you can go even deeper on the American founding and the Constitution with a constitutional class that I'm taking right now that is phenomenal.
00:04:20.780As many as 18,000 terrorists entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent revealed during a House committee hearing on Thursday.
00:04:31.680So far, NCTC has identified around 18,000 known and suspected terrorists that the Biden administration let come into our country, Kent testified before the House Homeland Security Committee.
00:04:46.220These are individuals who, under normal circumstances, would never be allowed to enter our country because of their ties to jihadi groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda, he said.
00:04:58.020Yet the Biden administration not only let them into our country and in many cases facilitated their entry into the country,
00:05:04.180just like the entry of the Afghan terrorist who committed the terrorist attack here just before Thanksgiving,
00:05:10.440killing one of our National Guard's member and wounding another.
00:05:13.480The FBI foiled other ISIS terrorist attack in Michigan and New Jersey earlier this year.
00:05:21.080A self-described Hamas operative also infiltrated the ranks of the U.S. Air Force in 2023
00:05:27.020and later planned to carry out a pipe bomb attack with two others before he was thwarted in April.
00:05:33.280Before Trump took office, a suspected ISIS terrorist mowed down and shot New Year's revelers on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 14 people.
00:05:45.740Kent pointed out in the House hearing that the accused National Guard shooter, Ramanala Lakanwal,
00:05:52.880was just one of 88,000 Afghans, and its counterterrorism office has since identified 2,000 of that group of the 88,000 who have ties to terrorist organizations.
00:06:06.660Another Afghan national was arrested and charged this month for threatening to carry out a suicide bombing before Thanksgiving,
00:06:13.400while a third was collared in Virginia on December 3rd for providing weapons to his father, an ISIS-K commander, the Post first reported.
00:06:24.300A fourth was led into the U.S. by the Biden administration and later schemed to carry out an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack last year.
00:06:33.620All five, including Lakanwal, entered the country as part of the 88,000 that received expedited vetting to settle in the U.S.
00:06:43.300under President Joe Biden's Operations Allies Welcome Program.
00:06:48.160An official from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence told the Post that hundreds of other ISIS-affiliated migrants are roaming the country,
00:06:57.740including 4,000 from a Central Asian smuggling network and 600 Tajiks and Uzbeks.
00:07:06.960The NCTC has also identified hundreds of MS-13, Trender-Aragua, and Sinaloa cartel members
00:07:14.000and notified Immigration and Customs Enforcement to prioritize their arrests and deportations, the official added.
00:07:20.920Stunningly, Kent claimed in the hearing that the remaining 16,000 with terror ties who didn't originate from Afghanistan
00:07:29.740doesn't even include migrants who came here illegally through the open border.
00:07:35.060The Trump administration recently warned Americans that the U.S. was at, quote,
00:07:39.440heightened risk of terrorist attacks, Kent said, noting risk from, quote,
00:07:44.040terrorists pretty much of all stripes, but in particular from ISIS and from al-Qaeda.
00:07:49.940This is dangerous, and this is what unfolded the last four years.
00:07:54.760Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:08:00.980And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:08:35.840We've made significant progress under President Trump's leadership.
00:08:39.700We have the jihadis of ISIS and al-Qaeda on the run in Iraq and Syria thanks to the decisive action and the strikes that we've taken there recently since President Trump took office in January.
00:08:50.620However, we have a persistent threat from the individuals that were allowed into this country by the previous administration.
00:08:57.940The number one threat that we have right now, in my view, is the fact that we don't know who came into our country in the last four years of Biden's open borders.
00:09:07.000What we have identified is alarming, and I want to share that with you today.
00:09:11.320We just recently put out a warning, warning of the heightened risk of terrorist attacks posed to the homeland by terrorists pretty much of all stripes, but in particular from ISIS and from al-Qaeda.
00:09:22.000Well, let's just pause there, and we'll play the second part in a moment.
00:09:25.420But, Senator, your reaction to there has now been put out a warning for an ISIS-al-Qaeda-type attack in the U.S.
00:09:34.580I don't know why the national news is not covering this, that they're saying, hey, we have a heightened alert.
00:09:41.100This is something we're very concerned about.
00:09:43.000This is now being said, and I still haven't seen this on the news anywhere.
00:09:47.880Well, the massive national security threat we face.
00:09:50.740Over four years of the Biden-Harris administration, we saw over 12 million people coming to this country illegally.
00:10:21.620The gotaways are much, much more likely to be criminals, to be murderers, to be rapists, to be child molesters, to be gang members, to be terrorists.
00:10:31.340That 2 million that are gotaways is the most concerning population that's come into this country.
00:10:38.340By the way, Biden and the Democrats did not care at all.
00:10:43.380They literally imported 2 million potential criminals into this country.
00:10:47.960Now, there's a smaller subset of those who we have evidence they are likely terrorists.
00:10:53.880The Trump administration is now telling us that is 18,000 people who we believe are likely terrorists.
00:11:03.060That is dangerous, and it really underscores the urgency with which the Trump administration is going after and arresting and incarcerating and deporting those who are terrorists, those who are murderers, those who are rapists, those who are child molesters, those who are gang bangers.
00:11:21.340That, if you want to protect our families, if you want to protect our kids, that is massively, massively important, and it actually explains why the Democrats and the media are losing their mind, because they don't want these criminals arrested.
00:11:36.480This is, front and center, a massive issue for the country.
00:11:43.060Yeah, and that's more of what the NCTC director, Joe Kent, was saying in the second part of his warning.
00:11:48.300Take a listen for everybody out there.
00:11:49.620And again, ask yourself this question.
00:11:51.480Why are you probably only hearing this audio for the very first time or even about this story on this show?
00:11:56.500How is this not leading the nightly news?
00:13:29.760And with the FBI to run down this 2,000, the Afghans who came here under Allies Welcome, who have ties to terrorist organizations, and additionally, the other 16,000 individuals with ties to terrorist organizations that Biden let into our country.
00:13:52.900It wasn't a, we're asleep at the wheel, and we just didn't realize what was going on.
00:13:59.540This was done in a way that they knew was a problem.
00:14:03.280And they knew the problem was getting bigger and bigger.
00:14:06.120And they didn't care what happened to average Americans.
00:14:09.340Yeah, look, the sheer quantity, 18,000 known and suspected terrorists, it'd be one thing if the Biden administration in four years they let in a dozen known and suspected terrorists, a hundred known and suspected terrorists.
00:14:59.100It doesn't matter if they're objective in coming to America is to come to D.C. and to shoot National Guardsmen because they are radical, America-hating terrorists.
00:15:09.320We will let them in because we think one day they will have the right to vote, maybe immediately, maybe in time, and they'll vote for Democrats.
00:15:18.080And so if American citizens are murdered, the Democrats were willing to do that.
00:29:38.280So there's a global umbrella group, the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:29:43.160And there are a bunch of affiliates that are in different countries.
00:29:46.520And there were deep state, State Department operatives who argued against what I was trying to do and Trump won.
00:29:54.160And the argument they used that prevailed is they said, well, look, not every single affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood can we prove is a terrorist organization.
00:30:18.360I said the previous efforts were top down.
00:30:22.120They were designate the global Muslim Brotherhood and then designate all their affiliates.
00:30:27.540They argued some of the affiliates may not be terrorists.
00:30:30.820I don't buy that, but it was an argument and it was an argument that was successful in Trump one.
00:30:36.560So in Trump two, I inverted the entire approach.
00:30:40.600I said, all right, let's rather than being top down, let's start bottom up.
00:30:45.240And so I filed legislation that directed the administration, designate every Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that there is clear and unequivocal evidence they're a terrorist organization.
00:30:58.400Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine.
00:31:00.540So there is no dispute, Hamas is a terrorist organization.
00:31:04.820So that is an easy example of a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate that is indisputably terrorist.
00:31:11.500My legislation says designate the affiliates.
00:31:15.220And then it says, designate the global Muslim Brotherhood for providing money, for providing material assistance to the affiliates that are indisputably terrorist organizations.
00:35:53.700We need to be clear-eyed about the threats to America.
00:35:56.840The Muslim Brotherhood is a radical jihadist global terror network.
00:36:01.600They are funding jihadists in countries across the globe, and we are seeing, we started this podcast by talking about 18,000 terrorists coming to this country under Joe Biden.
00:36:12.940These are, the Muslim Brotherhood is deliberately promoting people who are seeking to engage in acts of terror.
00:36:20.260They're seeking to wage jihad, and we need to be serious and clear-eyed.
00:36:24.420And I've got to say, there's some Republicans that are nervous about this, but Donald Trump is not.
00:36:29.220And his designation was historic, and I'm continuing to work hand-in-hand with him to protect the American people against the threat of the Muslim Brotherhood, against the threat of jihadists.
