00:01:40.260 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson.

00:01:43.380 We're here, Senator. We're less than two weeks away from Election Day.

00:01:47.200 And Elon Musk and Donald Trump really gave us some great news.

00:01:51.400 first to trump accounts and now elon musk announcing the amazing for every kid in america

00:01:56.700 that by the way you predicted would happen if we had the automation of accounts being

00:02:02.060 open for children and now we have proof that it works well we had an extraordinary announcement

00:02:07.480 that came out this week elon musk announced that he's going to give a share of spacex

00:02:12.100 to every single child in america that's more than 70 million kids that's more than an 11

00:02:18.180 billion dollar gift. One share to every Trump account of every kid in America. As you know,

00:02:26.500 I wrote the legislation that created the Trump accounts, and one of the purposes of it

00:02:31.480 was to become a vehicle to make every kid in America capitalist, to make them an owner and

00:02:36.800 a stakeholder in the biggest companies in America. My hope was that Elon would do exactly what he

00:02:43.640 just announced he's going to do. I've urged Elon to do exactly this. These Trump accounts were

00:02:49.060 designed to receive these stocks, and I'm here to predict right now Trump accounts are going to be

00:02:55.960 the vehicle for the most philanthropic gifts, the most gifts to charity in the history of America.

00:03:03.680 They're already on the path to being there, and that is going to change the future of our kids.

00:03:09.220 We're going to break that down. We're also going to talk about an incredible threat, a shocking

00:03:14.020 threat that Michigan Senator, Democrat Senator Alyssa Slotkin issued that she was going to target

00:03:19.660 young people who go to work for the Trump administration, persecute them. She wanted

00:03:24.420 to make it so no young person would be willing to go work for the administration. It was an

00:03:29.480 incredible abuse of power. It was a promise of more weaponization. And it's a sign of just how

00:03:34.820 radicalized the Democrats have been. And finally, we're going to talk about the Paris riots and the

00:03:40.120 fact that you've got Democrats embracing the Paris riots and effectively promising to expect

00:03:46.340 more of that here in America. Again, it underscores today's Democrats have been taken over

00:03:54.300 by Marxists and Islamists, and they are more than happy to resort to political intimidation and to

00:04:01.820 violence to try to force their radical agenda on the american people all of that we're covering in

00:04:06.940 today's podcast yeah it really is incredible i want to also remind you about a company that if

00:04:12.320 you switch your cell phone service to patriot mobile you get to make a difference in every

00:04:16.360 call you make with every bill you pay and that is why i love patriot mobile now they are america's

00:04:22.140 only christian conservative wireless provider they offer you premium priority nationwide service on

00:04:28.480 any of the three major U.S. networks, meaning you get the best coverage possible with unlimited

00:04:33.780 data plans and international roaming. And they've got something else I love, a 100% U.S.-based

00:04:39.900 customer support team. It makes switching even easier. Now, you can even have two separate

00:04:45.900 networks on one phone, giving you unmatched coverage and peace of mind that you cannot

00:04:50.220 get with the other carriers. Now, all of this is great, right? Great tech, great service.

00:04:55.400 That is their mission.

00:04:56.940 But then there's the best part.

00:04:58.480 Every year, Patriot Mobile contributes millions of dollars to organizations, after you pay your bill,

00:05:05.660 defending free speech, religious liberty, the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and America's future.

00:05:12.080 Patriot Mobile isn't sitting on the sidelines.

00:05:14.620 They're on the front lines fighting for our freedoms.

00:05:18.220 So join the movement today.

00:05:33.500 And you can make that switch today.

00:05:35.920 All right, Senators, so let's go back and remind people the Trump accounts were truly incredible.

00:05:40.780 You wrote that legislation.

00:05:42.380 But you had a very big fight.

00:05:44.660 I think it's important that we remind people of this.

00:05:46.600 with the admin or I should say the IRS to open these accounts automatically for kids so that

00:05:55.320 children would not miss out on philanthropists like Elon Musk if they decided to give shares

00:06:00.840 of stocks to children it was a hard fight now we know just how how much it was worth fighting that

00:06:06.820 fight because what you described has become a reality well auto enroll was a year-long battle

00:06:14.360 actually more than a year, when I drafted the legislation to create Trump accounts,

00:06:19.440 the career lawyers at the Treasury Department fought me tooth and nail. And in particular,

00:06:24.020 they did not want to auto enroll kids. They did not want to automatically create personal

00:06:28.660 investment accounts for all 70 plus million kids in America. And we went round and round. I wrote

00:06:35.860 the legislation to create auto enroll. And there's several reasons for it. One, if you have an opt

00:06:42.820 out instead of an opt-in. If you automatically enroll people and just as the default, you get a

00:06:48.360 much, much higher take-up rate. That is really important. That's important for newborn children.

00:06:54.560 There are about 3.7 million newborn children a year in America. Under the Trump account

00:07:00.340 legislation that I wrote, every one of them gets $1,000 seeded in that account. Well, if you don't

00:07:05.300 auto-enroll it, those kids don't get the $1,000 invested in the stock market. They don't get the

00:07:11.160 compound growth and we want that to start at birth we want to maximize the time that it can

00:07:16.380 compound so that they can they can save and invest and have the the miracle of compound growth but

00:07:23.340 not only that this legislation was specifically drafted so that it can receive charitable

00:07:30.320 contributions we saw that start uh incredibly with michael and susan dell giving six and a

00:07:37.420 quarter billion dollars. What Michael and Susan gave is $250 to every child in America under the

00:07:45.420 age of 10 who lives in a zip code where the median income is $150,000 or less. That works out to

00:07:52.940 about 25 million kids, which they gave the gifts to. Now, before auto-enroll, there were roughly

00:07:58.800 7 million Trump accounts that had been opened. That means about 10% of the kids who were eligible

00:08:04.140 for Trump accounts and affirmatively open them. And I will say it skews in the wrong way because

00:08:08.780 the kids who are most likely to affirmatively open them are wealthier kids or kids whose parents

00:08:14.160 are more financially sophisticated. That is missing the students that we most intended to

00:08:20.740 benefit, which are low-income kids, the kids of a single mom waiting tables, who we wanted to 0.98

00:08:25.680 create an avenue for those kids to be able to accumulate wealth and compounding growth and

00:08:31.360 investment and and to become capitalists to have skin in the game and so auto enroll is important

00:08:39.320 for that but but even more importantly let's take michael and susan dell's gift they're giving

00:08:45.820 250 to 25 million kids well you know what if they're not 25 million trump accounts there's

00:08:50.860 no place for that money to go you've got to open the accounts for the charitable gift to land and

00:08:57.100 And so just a couple of weeks ago, finally, the Treasury Department agreed and did auto-enroll every kid in America.

00:09:04.860 That was a year-long fight.

00:09:06.400 I had been battling with Treasury over and over again.

00:09:09.560 Ultimately, President Trump directed the Treasury Department in unequivocal terms, auto-enroll the kids.

00:09:16.780 That's what the legislation says.

00:09:18.580 Follow the legislation.

00:09:19.480 That was an incredibly important decision.

00:09:22.060 As you know, I was in the Oval Office with the President, with Secretary Scott Bessett, who's been terrific.

00:09:27.100 uh on the announcement of auto enrollment it also meant that now there were the 25 million

00:09:33.700 they're actually more than 70 million accounts so those 25 million kids who are getting the gift

00:09:37.600 from michael and susan dell have an account to receive the 250 but not only that i had another

00:09:44.840 battle with treasury because i pressed treasury very hard that these trump accounts should not

00:09:51.400 only be able to accept cash which is what they're getting from michael and susan dell

00:09:54.900 they should also be able to accept the specific gift of an individual stock a stock that would

00:10:01.640 reside in the trump account and and and that that incentivizes a lot more people to give away to

00:10:09.180 give charity into these these accounts and to be honest when i was fighting for that

00:10:13.280 i envisioned what happened this week i envisioned elon giving a share of spacex to everyone now when

00:10:19.560 treasury treasury issued the opinion again i had to battle with the treasury career lawyers

00:10:23.780 who did not want to do this, but the president directed Treasury to do so, and Treasury did,

00:10:30.100 almost immediately Gwen Shotwell, who was the president and chief operating officer of SpaceX,

00:10:35.920 announced a donation of 2 million shares of SpaceX. That is about a 300 to a 350

00:10:42.300 million dollar charitable gift. That's a huge charitable gift. Well, that was hugely important,

00:10:49.820 and Gwen started it, we now have Elon saying he'll give a share of SpaceX to each of the more

00:10:56.500 than 70 million kids in this country. That is more than $11 billion. That is a big, big deal,

00:11:05.220 and it means every kid suddenly has a stake in seeing the success of SpaceX. SpaceX is deploying

00:11:12.900 launch and is going to the moon and is going to Mars and deploying satellites and innovating.

00:11:19.080 every kid suddenly is now rooting for that success. And when SpaceX succeeds,

00:11:24.460 they succeed. And I'm here right now to predict. We have Michael and Susan Dell with six and a

00:11:31.020 quarter billion. We have Gwen Shotwell with 350 million. We have Elon Musk with 11 billion. We

00:11:36.840 have also Ray Dalio, who's adopted every kid in the state of Connecticut. We have Brad Gerstner,

00:11:44.680 who's adopted kids in the state of Indiana, this is going to be, and they're going to be,

00:11:49.400 I think, both Anthropic and OpenAI are going to give shares to kids so that kids will have a stake

00:11:55.600 in major AI companies. I also think we're going to see shares of Google donated to kids. All of

00:12:02.520 this gives our children a stake in the future of America, and I think when all is said and done,

00:12:09.820 the trump accounts will be the vehicle for the largest philanthropic giving in the history of

00:12:17.400 the united states of america all of which is directed at our kids yeah it's going to be

00:12:22.920 massive and i think it's going to have such an impact and as you said i believe by the way this

00:12:27.620 is probably going to be the tip of the iceberg i think that's what you had been telegraphing for

00:12:32.420 for quite some time and now we're seeing the reality of that that elon is leading the way

00:12:38.320 but many others are probably going to step up and do the exact same thing.

00:12:41.880 And by the way, as you mentioned it on the show, and this should excite people,

00:12:45.800 it may be that somebody who maybe doesn't have as much money as Elon Musk,

00:12:49.540 but has a lot of money, decides to donate shares to every kid in the school system

00:12:53.840 in their community where they grew up, or just in the state where they live, or they were born.

00:12:59.180 Right, so I designed the legislation so you can turn the dials.

00:13:02.660 Look how Michael Dell did it.

00:13:04.060 You can turn them, number one, geographically.

00:13:06.080 you can you can decide to sponsor kids in your state you can decide to sponsor kids

00:13:10.680 down to the zip code level you can also choose ages so for example michael and susan dell chose

00:13:17.620 kids under 10 gwen shotwell specifically chose kids 10 to 18 because dell was giving to the

00:13:24.660 younger kids and she wanted to spread out the benefits like that was a very reasonable and

00:13:28.740 wise decision you can target it age-wise brad gerstner is given to kids i believe

00:13:34.560 under five in Indiana, but you can also target it based on income. So a number of these have done

00:13:41.920 what the Dells did, which is pick zip codes where the median income is $150,000 or less. So,

00:13:47.760 you know, Beverly Hills, really rich neighborhoods don't necessarily need the funds, but

00:13:52.840 neighborhoods where you have kids of lower income, you can target it to them.

00:13:57.400 it can allow massive i mean 11 billion dollars is is an enormous gift but that can be scaled

00:14:06.460 much smaller and by the way two things about the charitable giving into trump accounts

00:14:10.800 one it allows for much smaller gifts so the trump account app is is really cool it's easy to use it

00:14:19.980 was actually joe jebbia who was one of the founders of airbnb who came into the trump

00:14:25.160 administration and has been spending his time helping the the federal government meet the needs

00:14:32.300 of american citizens and he designed the app and i'll say the app if you have not used the trump

00:14:36.600 account app you should it is the most consumer friendly app the federal government has ever

00:14:41.460 produced and it makes it very easy to give to a kid's trump account it produces a qr code

00:14:47.000 and and for little things for a birthday party for a bar mitzvah for a graduation gift

00:14:52.440 instead of of uncles and aunts and friends giving gifts that'll be discarded that no one will care

00:14:58.720 about instead of an ugly sweater you can have people give 25 50 100 bucks to a trump account

00:15:04.880 and that accumulates savings and investment and all of this is invested the stock market remember

00:15:09.560 this is not a savings account this is invested directly in the s&p 500 i think you're going to

00:15:14.660 see a lot of small level gifts micro gifts that will be massive over time but there's also a

00:15:21.740 component so i've talked about michael and susan dell are friends i i admire and respect them a

00:15:27.180 great deal uh they're worth about 200 billion dollars depending on on where dell stock is

00:15:33.260 trading on any given day 200 billion dollars is an enormous amount of money it's not as much as

00:15:38.320 elon has but 200 billion is a lot and and michael and susan are smart and responsible and so they've

00:15:46.160 thought very seriously about how do you dispose of a fortune that massive and and the reality is

00:15:52.540 it's very hard to do that you if you give a charity a billion dollars almost any charity

00:15:59.220 would be swamped by a billion dollars it's too much money for a charity to absorb and and one

00:16:06.180 of the things that excited michael and susan about this is this is infinitely scalable i don't think

00:16:12.320 they're done at six and a quarter billion i think they started with that but the beauty of trump

00:16:16.820 accounts is this can scale up you can give six and a quarter billion you can give 11 billion like

00:16:23.440 elon did you can give 25 billion 50 billion 100 but you could give a trillion dollars to trump

00:16:29.200 accounts and because it's every kid in america it's big enough to absorb it and what's wonderful

00:16:34.920 is there no transaction cost whatever you give goes a hundred percent straight to the accounts

00:16:40.680 and kids begin accumulating and compounding savings,

00:16:44.940 I think you're going to see a number of particularly very, very wealthy individuals

00:16:48.820 giving massive gifts like we've already seen from the Dells and Elon.

00:16:55.040 I think that's just the beginning.

00:16:56.420 And I think we're going to see dozens and hundreds and in time thousands more following down that path.

00:17:02.580 Yeah, I agree with you there.

00:17:03.820 It's a big, big moment for the kids in the future of this country.

00:17:07.620 And as you said, philanthropists who want to get involved.

00:17:10.040 and it's going to pay huge dividends and I got to say well done to Elon Musk for for doing this

00:17:15.620 the way he has it's by the way one of the really cool things so Michael and Susan Dell have been

00:17:20.320 posting on Twitter so they've been getting thank you notes from kids all over the country because

00:17:25.080 the way your Trump account works you get hey you got $250 in uh donated to to you that appeared

00:17:31.960 in your account was invested in the stock market for the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation and so

00:17:36.560 they've been getting kids little kids with crayons writing them thank you notes i mean look giving

00:17:41.680 someone 250 bucks you don't he doesn't know those kids they don't know those kids and it's been

00:17:46.400 great michael and susan have been posting this publicly and it's a beautiful not only do i do i

00:17:51.900 know it really means a lot to them to be thanked by the kids but it also is an encouragement to

00:17:58.580 lots of other people to say hey i would like to to give a gift that really makes a difference in

00:18:03.340 a kid's future. And that outpouring of appreciation is really powerful for encouraging more

00:18:10.520 charitable gifts directly targeting our kids. Yeah. Amen to that. I want to move from that

00:18:15.520 story to one that's very different. And that deals with one of your colleagues from Michigan

00:18:20.640 saying this at the University of Chicago campus, warning conservatives, young conservatives,

00:18:29.380 you do not want to go work in the trump administration because if you do it could

00:18:34.200 have lasting effects on your life here she is at the university of chicago all right but before we

00:18:39.920 get to that i want to talk to you real quick about compassion international right now somewhere in

00:18:44.700 the world there's a child that's waiting not waiting for a birthday not waiting for christmas

00:18:49.660 waiting for someone like you to choose them i have loved being involved with compassion

00:18:55.720 international because what they do every single day is they help children and not only they help

00:19:01.140 them they connect children living in poverty with someone who will know their name pray for them

00:19:05.800 encourage them and help provide the food medical care education and hope they need through a local

00:19:11.260 church now this year compassion is expanding into four new countries that are in desperate need

00:19:16.380 malawi zambia cambodia and miramar meaning thousands of children are being reached for

00:19:22.920 the very first time. And you can do what I do for just $43 a month. You can be the reason one of

00:19:28.680 these children stops waiting. So sponsor a child today. It's also a great thing to do with your

00:19:34.980 kids or your grandkids. They get to understand how easy it is to help others and how important

00:19:40.060 it is. So sponsor a child today at Compassion.com. That's Compassion.com. All right, Senator,

00:19:47.260 let's play this for everybody. It was, again, a shocking moment at the University of Chicago.

00:19:51.860 their political institute and one of your colleagues said this so that's what i'm saying

00:19:56.920 i want to look at these signature cases and not just focus on the president but on the people who

00:20:02.680 enabled him i want young people coming out of school to say should i go work for the trump

00:20:07.840 administration like that sounds fun i might get an opportunity i want them to be like lord that

00:20:12.700 might be buying myself a ton of problems that i don't want and so let me avoid participating in

00:20:19.540 that i want that deterrence message let's be clear what she's saying senator she's saying 0.88

00:20:24.860 i want to weaponize the government to break people i want to financially ruin and destroy

00:20:30.440 people that go work for donald trump i want good people to be afraid to work anywhere in this

00:20:36.180 administration serving their their fellow man in our government and you better say to yourself

00:20:42.460 this is not a good opportunity for me to go work for the president united states of america

00:20:46.140 this is an opportunity that could land me in jail or bankrupt or indicted or or worse apparently

00:20:52.220 well unfortunately nothing you're saying there is hyperbole none of that is an exaggeration you

00:20:58.900 know elissa slotkin is is a freshman senator she was newly elected from michigan she's a democrat

00:21:03.640 and she styles herself a moderate she tells the voters oh i'm a moderate i'm i'm a reasonable

00:21:09.540 middle-of-the-road democrat she is not this is powerful evidence now elissa slotkin is also

00:21:15.760 actively campaigning for Abdul El-Sayed, who is, he along with James Tallarico are the two most

00:21:23.360 dangerous and radical Senate candidates in the country, and Alyssa Slotkin is happily and

00:21:27.700 enthusiastically supporting El-Sayed. What she is saying here is openly weaponizing the federal

00:21:38.080 government. And understand, she's not saying if someone commits a criminal offense, we're going

00:21:43.220 prosecute them that that's actually a reasonable statement that's a statement i agree with if you

00:21:46.800 commit a criminal offense you should be prosecuted regardless of your of your party she's saying no

00:21:51.480 i want us to go after young people she is targeting kids she's targeting 21 22 year old kids fresh out

00:21:58.960 of college and she's saying if you go take a job in the federal government when the democrats get

00:22:05.460 in power we're going to come after you and by the way what 21 22 year old can defend themselves

00:22:11.080 against a prosecution, against civil liability.

00:22:14.180 I mean, you want to talk about bankrupting kids,

00:22:16.140 and she's very open about it.

00:22:18.000 She wants to deter, she wants college graduates to say,

00:22:21.060 you know what, I'm not going to work for the federal government

00:22:24.060 because the Democrats are going to inflict so much pain.

00:22:31.960 Look at her quote.

00:22:34.360 I want young people coming out of school to say,

00:22:38.140 should I go work for the Trump administration?

00:22:41.080 Like, that sounds fun.

00:22:42.900 I might get an opportunity.

00:22:44.500 I want them to be like, Lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems that I don't want.

00:22:50.500 So let me avoid participating in that.

00:22:53.580 I want that deterrence message.

00:22:55.860 She's not suggesting anyone committed any crime, did anything wrong.

00:22:58.820 She's just saying, if you go work for them, we are going to punish you.

00:23:03.560 We are going to abuse you. 0.97

00:23:05.000 We are going to use the power of the government to crush you. 0.99

00:23:07.900 I'm going to be honest.

00:23:09.040 I don't know. I don't know anyone else who's made a threat like this. Law professor Jonathan Turley rightly criticized the remarks. He said that she had, quote, said the quiet part out loud. And I think that's right.

00:23:27.960 but but it is it is really open and direct and and look barack obama began the practice of

00:23:38.680 weaponizing the federal government and successfully weaponizing the federal government and and what

00:23:43.260 richard nixon had tried to do when nixon tried to use the federal government to go after his

00:23:49.220 political opponents the system worked and it actually resisted his effort to politicize

00:23:54.300 the federal government well what Nixon tried to do Barack Obama succeeded in doing he look Lois

00:24:01.840 Lerner used the IRS to target conservatives to go after conservatives people people who did things

00:24:07.600 like defended the constitution they made the constitution a key word that if you spoke out

00:24:13.600 in favor of the constitution they would target and persecute you and by the way Lois Lerner was

00:24:19.240 held in contempt of Congress she repeatedly pleaded the fifth and it was open weaponization

00:24:24.840 what Nixon tried to do Obama succeeded in doing and then Biden made it even worse you remember

00:24:30.980 his attorney general Merrick Garland wrote a memo to the FBI directing the FBI to target parents

00:24:38.500 who exercise their first amendment rights and go to school boards and to target them

00:24:42.900 as domestic terrorists again this was weaponization because they didn't want parents

00:24:48.400 speaking out on behalf of their kids. Slotkin is taking it further. We're going to go after kids,

00:24:54.600 and it is a sign of just how radical today's Democrat Party is.

00:25:00.240 When you look at what she said there, how many of your colleagues on the left probably agree

00:25:05.360 with her, just are not willing to say that, as you mentioned earlier, as you're quoting there,

00:25:10.560 the silent part out loud? Look, I don't know of a single one of my Democrat colleagues

00:25:17.820 who's disagreed with her if there has been even one democrat senator who has said

00:25:22.780 alissa was wrong we should not be persecuting kids fresh out of college go work for the federal

00:25:28.900 government if they've said it i haven't seen it and look most of them wouldn't say that out loud

00:25:35.560 but you know what during barack obama not a single democrat senator spoke up and said this is wrong

00:25:41.440 during joe biden not a single democrat senator spoke up and said this is wrong when donald trump

00:25:46.840 was indicted not once not twice not three times but four separate times not even one democrat

00:25:53.020 senator spoke up and said this is wrong when democrat judges ordered that trump be removed

00:25:59.580 from the ballot so the voters couldn't vote for him not a single democrat senator spoke up and

00:26:04.900 said this is wrong by the way those decisions were reversed unanimously by the u.s supreme court and

00:26:10.900 yet every single senate democrat was silent and and listen as radical as they were under obama

00:26:20.120 as even more radical as they became under biden if the democrats if these democrats get power again

00:26:28.600 they will make us long for the days of obama and biden they are so filled with rage

00:26:36.000 listen Alyssa Slotkin is not perceived as one of the more left-wing members of the senate now 1.00

00:26:43.560 her voting record is essentially is but she at least likes to hold herself out as a moderate 0.52

00:26:49.600 and she's perfectly happy saying let's persecute the kids let's punish them let's abuse government

00:26:57.420 power because we hate the other party that is a really really dangerous threshold across

00:27:04.420 yeah it's a great it's a great point we're going to keep covering this story i can promise you as

00:27:08.800 we get closer to election day which brings us to our final story and it deals with what could

00:27:15.040 america look like if we don't get our heads in many ways out of our rear end and i'm referencing

00:27:21.000 what we're watching in france right now i worry senator that we are a lot closer to what we're

00:27:27.060 witnessing in france and and the writing and the looting than people want to admit and i want to

00:27:33.600 get your reaction to that but before we get to that let me talk to you real quick about election

00:27:38.080 day the midterm elections they're here and if the dsa democrats win they'll push a radical socialist

00:27:44.000 agenda and drown president trump in endless investigations we've seen their playbook before

00:27:50.440 they tried impeaching him they tried putting him in prison they've tried everything so don't let

00:27:56.000 them win because if we lose they'll undo everything our movement has fought for i need you to vote

00:28:02.280 early. You can bank your vote and fight back against the left's turnout machine. Go to

00:28:08.420 gopvotes.org right now and find out when you can vote. Now, if you live in the critical Senate

00:28:15.520 battleground states of Maine or Ohio, early voting is already underway and starting this week. So

00:28:21.800 making your voice heard is easier than ever. You can get election reminders. You can look up your

00:28:26.940 polling location and pick a date to vote early go to gopvotes.org today paid for by the slf pack

00:28:36.180 not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee all right senator so let's break down

00:28:41.900 where we are in france it is very interesting to see not only is france not really getting

00:28:47.360 this under control we're now learning that they're going to be other as i would describe them

00:28:51.960 protests and days of raids are being planned not only around France in general but also in Europe

00:28:58.940 and many are concerned the same thing's about to happen here. Well we did a deep dive in Monday's

00:29:05.980 pod into the origins of of the riots in in Paris and France and they are being funded by a global

00:29:12.640 network of the same radical leftists the same Marxist and Islamist who funded the violence

00:29:18.020 here in the united states who funded the black lives matter riots and burning cities across

00:29:22.880 america who funded the anti-semitic protests on college campuses across america who funded the

00:29:28.920 open border protests in cities across america these same radicals including the singham network

00:29:33.920 are funding this uh and and europe is foreshadowing where america is headed

00:29:42.420 europe tragically is committing cultural suicide that they have invited millions of people into

00:29:49.760 europe who don't share their culture who don't share their values who don't share their faith 0.84

00:29:54.820 and who hate the countries they've came into they've come into france has welcomed these 0.92

00:30:01.700 islamists who are burning france and they're angry they're filled with rage and and the thing to 0.66

00:30:08.440 understand is europe i think is about 10 years ahead of america it's showing us if we keep going 0.86

00:30:16.000 down this road we will be right where they are and understand the democrats are a-okay with that

00:30:23.820 have you seen any democrats speaking out against the riots in france to the contrary

00:30:28.720 all right let's take for example roqana now roqana is another democrat he's a democrat

00:30:35.140 congressman from Silicon Valley, actually, elected out of California. And just like Alyssa Slotkin,

00:30:41.120 when he ran, he held himself out as a moderate. He held himself out as not a left-winger,

00:30:45.760 but a moderate. Here's what Ro Khanna tweeted. I want to read the whole thing to you.

00:30:51.040 From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana,

00:30:57.940 young people are telling their governments the same thing. In an age of massive wealth inequality,

00:31:05.140 they want a future they can believe in. In France students and teachers are asking for safe schools

00:31:12.520 enough teachers and smaller classes. In Spain for affordable rent and housing. In Albania for good

00:31:21.460 jobs and an end to corruption. J.D. Vance says this is what happens when a nation lets too many

00:31:27.920 immigrants from the global south. He is not just morally wrong but misreading the moment.

00:31:35.140 This is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.

00:31:41.200 This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.

00:31:46.440 In America, let us listen to our young.

00:31:50.500 We need an economic and political transformation.

00:31:55.280 America's next New Deal.

00:31:57.520 now this is a supposed moderate who's embracing he's lying about what's happening uh in in france

00:32:06.600 he's claiming it is a student uprising when you see adults you see islamists you see people waving

00:32:12.160 palestinian flags you see communists waving communist banners but you know one of the 0.76

00:32:17.080 most ironic things about rocanna's tweet what is the utter hypocrisy ben do you know how much

00:32:24.920 ro-kanna is personally worth i'm gonna guess decent seven figures oh no no no no no you are

00:32:32.920 way way off it's not seven figures it's not eight figures it is nine figures i just typed into google

00:32:39.980 how much is ro-kanna worth and here's the answer u.s representative ro-kanna has an estimated net

00:32:46.960 worth ranging from approximately $230 million to over $340 million. So this is a guy who's worth

00:32:58.780 a third of a billion dollars, who is lecturing these riots in France are because of the

00:33:05.980 accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few. Well, Ro, I got a suggestion. Why don't you take

00:33:11.160 your 340 million dollars and maybe give a million dollars to 340 of your neighbors why do you need

00:33:17.220 okay 339 you can keep one for yourself and give the rest of it away because you're happy to support

00:33:23.780 the communists but yet amazingly you exempt yourself from the consequences of this the

00:33:30.080 utter hypocrisy and you see this on the left over and over and over again 340 million dollars is a

00:33:37.780 lot of money and yet without a hint of chagrin without a hint of embarrassment he blasts the

00:33:48.320 accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few that's today's democrat party it really is and

00:33:55.180 and it's exactly what they believe in don't forget we do this show monday wednesday and friday you
