00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.580 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.380 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:08.260 It's really nice to have you with us on this Wednesday morning.
00:00:10.860 And Senator, we've got two big topics to discuss today,
00:00:14.120 including something in the Senate that got a little spicy between you and Cory Booker.
00:00:20.600 Well, it did.
00:00:21.240 So yesterday I chaired a hearing that was examining the abuse of power from individual district court judges
00:00:30.640 who are issuing nationwide injunctions against President Trump and the Trump administration.
00:00:36.780 And this is the latest iteration of lawfare.
00:00:39.620 This is, in the last four years, we saw Democrat prosecutors indict Donald Trump four separate times.
00:00:47.180 That was, they were doing everything they could to stop the voters from re-electing President Trump.
00:00:53.780 That failed.
00:00:55.340 Now, during the Trump presidency, we are seeing lawfare unfold.
00:01:00.500 We are seeing Democrat attorneys general filing lawsuits every single day.
00:01:05.180 We are seeing left-wing activist groups filing lawsuits every day.
00:01:09.400 And they are seeking out radical left-wing judges who've been appointed in very blue districts.
00:01:17.180 And what we have seen is we have seen over 40 nationwide injunctions against the Trump administration.
00:01:26.080 Now, to give you a sense of just how egregious this is, in the first 150 years of our nation's history,
00:01:32.480 Ben, do you know how many nationwide injunctions were issued?
00:01:35.080 I have no idea, but I'm guessing, comparing it to 40, it's not going to be a lot.
00:01:40.040 The number would be zero.
00:01:41.340 Wow.
00:01:41.980 So the first 150 years of our nation's history, there was not a single nationwide injunction that was issued.
00:01:48.660 Now, how about the 20th century?
00:01:50.720 The 20th century, the entire hundred years, from 1900 to 1999,
00:01:57.120 there have been more nationwide injunctions issued against the Trump administration
00:02:02.040 in the first five months than there were in the entire 20th century.
00:02:07.520 There have also been more nationwide injunctions issued against Trump than there have been during the George W. Bush presidency,
00:02:16.940 plus the Barack Obama presidency, plus the Joe Biden presidency, all combined.
00:02:22.860 This is an assault.
00:02:24.660 You have left-wing judges, individual radical district judges, who are issuing injunctions,
00:02:32.440 trying to set aside the policies of the president, and trying to set aside the will of the American voters.
00:02:40.600 And it is an assault on democracy.
00:02:43.360 And I've got to say, Democrats not only are okay with it, they're enthusiastically cheering it on.
00:02:49.240 It really is shocking.
00:02:51.640 And the level of, I think, attack is obviously, as you mentioned, very clear.
00:02:58.340 It is these judges are saying, we're going to take away the power of the presidency.
00:03:03.160 The dangerous aspect of that precedent is also something that I would hope that many people
00:03:09.580 that maybe consider themselves to be moderate or liberal would be concerned about,
00:03:14.980 because that's not how this country is supposed to work.
00:03:17.760 No, it should not be an individual district judge having the ability to set aside the policies
00:03:24.460 of the United States government, the president of the United States,
00:03:27.520 and the policies that the voters voted on.
00:03:30.280 Look, I think the single biggest issue in this last election was the voters were sick and tired
00:03:36.020 of the open borders we saw for four years, the invasion of 12 million illegal immigrants.
00:03:41.780 And they wanted a president to secure the border and to deport murderers, rapists, 0.70
00:03:48.680 child molesters, violent Venezuelan gang members.
00:03:52.740 That's what Donald Trump is doing. 0.82
00:03:55.000 And we're seeing the Democrats who are suing over and over again,
00:03:58.740 and they're getting radical left-wing judges to issue orders saying,
00:04:03.240 stop deporting criminals.
00:04:05.700 And it's lawless.
00:04:06.500 By the way, federal immigration law gives enormous power to the president
00:04:10.000 to deport illegal immigrants. 0.59
00:04:12.240 And these radical judges, they don't care.
00:04:15.260 And I will tell you, as we were discussing this in this hearing,
00:04:18.540 so the Democrats all showed up for this hearing, and they were loaded for bear.
00:04:22.480 And they were all attacking President Trump.
00:04:25.220 That was no surprise.
00:04:26.140 And they were saying that the president is horribly saying mean, mean things about judges.
00:04:34.320 And mind you, these are judges who are dramatically abusing their power.
00:04:38.960 And yet the Democrats were all pretending to be horrified that the president would criticize judges.
00:04:46.840 Now, I want to play for you an exchange I had.
00:04:49.560 I was talking about the hypocrisy of Democrats who are claiming to be defending judges,
00:04:56.240 and yet when Joe Biden was president, and you had violent mobs protesting outside the homes of Supreme Court justices,
00:05:04.520 the Democrats said not a word.
00:05:07.300 They were not bothered at all that the Biden Justice Department refused to enforce the criminal law
00:05:13.860 that makes it a crime to protest outside the home of a justice and to threaten the justices' families, as they were.
00:05:21.860 And there was an exchange.
00:05:23.640 So Cory Booker, he's a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.
00:05:27.100 Cory wants to run for president.
00:05:29.020 He wants to run as the great liberal hope.
00:05:31.900 And Cory decided to engage with me and attack me on this issue.
00:05:36.340 And he and I went back and forth.
00:05:38.320 And I want to play this entire exchange.
00:05:40.100 It's a little bit extended.
00:05:41.060 But this exchange was striking because he jumped in and he's like, no, no, no, I'm going to fight you on this point.
00:05:48.180 And I've got to say, I don't want to be a spoiler here, but I don't think it went well for Cory.
00:05:55.120 Give a listen.
00:05:56.620 It did not.
00:05:57.760 Here it is.
00:05:59.600 You indulge me for a moment.
00:06:01.140 We indulge you every moment.
00:06:02.700 I appreciate that act of generosity.
00:06:05.020 It's just something you said that I think is actually dangerous and should be addressed, and you're welcome.
00:06:11.780 But when Judge Anderle was killed in New Jersey, the Republican colleagues in the Senate, their outpouring of support, their outpouring of concern, their willing to work together on a bipartisan bill was extraordinary.
00:06:24.420 It shows the truth of this institution that, despite some of the fiery rhetoric that you were showing, we're really a bipartisan, working bipartisanship.
00:06:33.680 Cornyn and Coombs, after the incidents you're talking about, got together and actually passed a bill to better protect our Supreme Court justices, many of whom are friends of ours.
00:06:44.560 You know, Gorsuch and I disagree on a lot of stuff.
00:06:48.100 I knew his wife before he did.
00:06:49.620 We studied together at Oxford.
00:06:51.560 This implication that there was silence when there were threats on their people's houses is absolutely absurd.
00:06:57.400 I remember the rhetoric and the comments, the concern from Coons. 1.00
00:07:02.180 I actually distinctly remember you, Chairman, on more than once condemning those attacks on Republican-appointed jurists.
00:07:11.240 To say things like that feeds just the partisanship in this institution and feeds the fiery rhetoric.
00:07:18.420 And it's just plain not true.
00:07:20.540 It's just plain not true.
00:07:22.120 And I think you know that, but we can pull from the record from my colleagues in real time, literally days afterwards, condemning it.
00:07:29.660 There's a lot of substantive things to say here.
00:07:31.860 But to think that the lack of humanity when people's homes are being threatened was not in existence, I think that's unfair and really concerns me that you would say that in the way that you did.
00:07:42.460 Well, I thank my colleague from New Jersey.
00:07:45.060 I will note, as John Adams observed, that facts are stubborn things.
00:07:50.100 And it is existing federal law, 18 U.S.C., Section 1507, that makes it a crime to protest at a judge's home.
00:07:59.340 And the law provides, whoever, with the intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice,
00:08:05.580 or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer in the discharge of his duty,
00:08:11.200 pickets or parades in or near a building housing a court of the United States in or near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer,
00:08:21.060 or with such intent, uses any sound truck or similar device or resorts to any other demonstration in or near any such building or residence,
00:08:29.980 shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year or both.
00:08:38.100 That is federal criminal law.
00:08:40.060 Night after night after night, angry mobs were outside the Supreme Court justices' homes.
00:08:45.860 And in the entire course of it, the Biden Justice Department prosecuted nobody.
00:08:52.660 We had the Attorney General sitting at that table, and multiple Republican senators asked him,
00:08:58.300 why are you not enforcing the law?
00:09:00.840 What they are doing is a crime.
00:09:03.480 And my friend from New Jersey said, it is a lie to say we, the Democrats, condone this.
00:09:09.840 I would challenge, my friend, find a single Democrat senator on this committee holding the Attorney General to account for not enforcing this law.
00:09:20.260 I was here at those hearings, and I do not recall a single Democrat senator saying to the Attorney General,
00:09:27.220 you should arrest these people who are violating the law.
00:09:30.700 You should protect the judges.
00:09:32.080 I agree that there was general language against violence, but not a single Democrat senator that I ever saw in this committee
00:09:41.520 was willing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland to account for flagrantly disregarding the federal criminal law
00:09:49.140 because the Biden administration agreed with the protesters and I think wanted those justices harassed at their homes.
00:09:55.760 I really appreciate that you have now shifted the accusation you made earlier.
00:09:59.820 Your accusation was that we were silent in the face of protests at Supreme Court justices' homes.
00:10:06.820 Again, we joined together in a bipartisan way, not only to condemn that, but to pass legislation to extend round-the-clock security protection,
00:10:18.220 literally days.
00:10:19.980 It was introduced May 5th, passed the Senate in a bipartisan fashion on May 9th.
00:10:24.260 So if you're saying that we didn't criticize Mayor Carlin...
00:10:26.260 Did the Biden DOJ arrest a single person under this law?
00:10:29.000 You are now changing the accusation that she made.
00:10:30.520 No, that is what I said.
00:10:31.520 That is what I said.
00:10:32.260 Again, I'll pull the record.
00:10:33.740 Did the Biden DOJ arrest even won?
00:10:35.700 Again.
00:10:36.560 The answer is no.
00:10:37.200 My point to you is the accusation that the Democrats on this committee do not care about the safety of federal judges.
00:10:46.380 I did not interrupt you, sir.
00:10:48.020 I would appreciate if you let me finish.
00:10:51.480 I am sick and tired of hearing the kind of heated partisan rhetoric, which is one of the reasons why we have such divisions in this country.
00:11:00.120 The attacks we see from the President of the United States of America trolling and dragging judges through is what we should be talking about that puts people in danger.
00:11:11.240 I am simply taking issue with the claim that you made at the top that people on the Democratic side of the aisle do not care about the safety and the security of judges and said nothing.
00:11:24.020 You said we were silent after people's houses were protested.
00:11:28.020 That is a patent lie, sir.
00:11:30.180 We were not silent.
00:11:31.960 We took action.
00:11:33.600 We joined in a bipartisan way to protect those judges, as was done in a bipartisan way to protect a New Jersey judge after their horrific attack at their home.
00:11:44.880 So I see you now trying to shift the debate to whether we talk to an attorney general.
00:11:50.100 I'm simply taking issue with this accusation that somehow we Democrats are so bad because we don't call out threats to our judicial colleagues.
00:12:01.040 And that is wrong.
00:12:02.500 You could change the argument now that you want, but what you said was patently not true and was, in fact, a patent lie.
00:12:08.900 So I do do enjoy the fact that my colleague from New Jersey raises his voice and says it's a patent lie and says he's doing so in defense of lowering the rhetoric.
00:12:19.300 There is some irony to doing those two together.
00:12:23.080 I'll point out that in the entire course of those remarks, Senator Booker did not dispute the central point I made, which is the Biden Justice Department arrested zero people, prosecuted zero people for violating the criminal law.
00:12:37.940 And every Democrat senator on this committee was silent about it.
00:12:41.640 And this was an ongoing pattern for months.
00:12:44.920 And I would note also that the senator from New Jersey clutched his pearls about language threatening judges.
00:12:51.980 And yet I do not recall a single Democrat senator of this committee saying a word when Chuck Schumer went to the steps of the Supreme Court and threatened the safety of the Supreme Court justices by name.
00:13:04.120 Gorsuch and Kavanaugh, and he said, you have unleashed the whirlwind and you will pay the price.
00:13:11.080 And not a single Democrat senator had a word to say about this.
00:13:14.560 And so their outrage is selective.
00:13:17.380 And I will give my colleague from New Jersey a chance to just answer a simple yes, no question.
00:13:23.680 Should the Biden Justice Department have enforced the criminal law against protesting at a justice's home?
00:13:30.220 Yes or no?
00:13:30.800 So the rank hypocrisy of Chuck Schumer apologizing the next day and you holding that standard for him and not for your president, who you actually rightfully described when you were running against him in a primary, I would love to run those tapes of how you perfectly talked about the danger of our president and his rhetoric.
00:13:50.420 But now you are failing, in fact, blind to the very things you're accusing Chuck Schumer of.
00:13:57.560 I don't think Donald Trump would know an apology if it hit him in the head.
00:14:00.500 Never said apologizing. 0.60
00:14:02.200 So again, you are very, very, sir, very, very deep into the waters of hypocrisy in your criticisms of Chuck Schumer.
00:14:11.260 So let the record reflect that that Spartacus did not answer the question and did not tell us whether the criminal law should be enforced because he knows the answer is yes.
00:14:21.820 And he knows that the Biden Department of Justice was being wildly political and partisan in refusing to enforce the law because they disagreed with the Supreme Court justice's rulings.
00:14:31.520 That was one very entertaining back and forth, Senator.
00:14:35.940 I wish there was actually more of this in the Senate because it's a great moment where you can see two very different viewpoints, two very different ways of looking at this.
00:14:47.500 And like you said, it did not go well for Cory Booker.
00:14:50.460 But I actually love that there's this type of grand debate.
00:14:54.540 Absolutely.
00:14:55.500 We need to have this engagement.
00:14:57.380 We need to have this engagement on ideas.
00:14:59.800 And it's striking.
00:15:02.400 The Democrats, they claim they support democracy.
00:15:06.000 But yet, when it comes to Donald Trump, they want a single unelected district judge striking down every policy he implements.
00:15:16.360 And they don't care that the American people voted for it.
00:15:19.360 They want power.
00:15:21.740 And look, in the course of this hearing, there were a couple of points I made that no Democrat had a response to.
00:15:27.620 Number one, these lawsuits are being filed over and over again before radical left-wing judges.
00:15:35.420 Of the 40-plus nationwide injunctions that have been issued against the Trump administration, 35 of them have been in five jurisdictions, five left-wing jurisdictions.
00:15:48.160 They're seeking out these left-wing judges because they know that they'll rule for them. 1.00
00:15:53.300 And the Democrat defense is, well, gosh, Trump is just violating the law.
00:15:58.420 Well, you know what?
00:15:59.560 If that were true, you'd be willing to file the cases anywhere.
00:16:03.260 But you're not.
00:16:03.920 The Democrat attorneys general, the left-wing interest groups, are going to seek out the radicals because they know the radicals will rule for them.
00:16:13.440 And we're not seeing Democrat senators defend that position.
00:16:17.980 We're not seeing them, say, give any explanation as to why one radical judge should be able to set aside nationwide the policies of the president of the United States, who was elected by the American people to secure the borders, to bring us back to common-sense positions.
00:16:36.920 And so I think this hearing was important.
00:16:39.120 And I've got to say, I think, Cory Booker, listen, Cory is running for president of the United States.
00:16:44.940 That's not complicated.
00:16:46.740 He's going to run in 2028, and he's running in the left lane of the Democrat Party.
00:16:53.020 So he's going to take on Elizabeth Warren.
00:16:55.220 He's going to take on AOC.
00:16:56.840 And he's going to argue, I am liberal Democrat here, mirror.
00:17:01.520 But at the end of the day, trying to appeal to those radicals, you've got a problem of you've actually got to address the substance.
00:17:09.680 And I think today we did, and it was not the outcome he was hoping for.
00:17:15.200 It certainly was not, and it's one of those moments that I'll be interested to see.
00:17:20.280 When this audio and video comes back to haunt him down the road in that presidential run you mentioned, because I think he thought he was about to have a moment, and it's not the moment he probably was hoping for.
00:17:31.360 If you go back and look at that tape.
00:17:33.620 Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them. 0.98
00:17:39.860 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:17:43.320 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:17:44.800 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:17:46.080 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:17:49.740 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:17:55.500 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:17:58.480 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:18:04.400 I want to also get to this other big issue, and that is out in Colorado and the terror attack there.
00:18:09.640 We've got a significant update on this individual and also real concerns and honesty now coming from the administration about the real threat of other terrorists that may be in this country that were led into this country by the Biden and Harris administration.
00:18:26.940 Well, it turns out that four years of open borders, allowing over 12 million people to come into this country illegally, that was a really bad policy.
00:18:36.120 And even worse, look, there were 10 million people who were apprehended by the Biden administration.
00:18:43.920 They let them go.
00:18:44.620 That is problematic on many, many fronts.
00:18:47.580 But the most disturbing number is 2 million.
00:18:51.120 There are roughly 2 million gotaways.
00:18:53.020 Those are people that crossed the border.
00:18:54.940 We know crossed the border, but yet they escaped detection.
00:18:59.140 And those gotaways are much, much more likely to be criminals.
00:19:03.420 They're much more likely to be murderers, rapists, child molesters, terrorists, gang members. 0.97
00:19:10.680 And if you look at this radical who attacked and firebombed the peaceful Jewish protesters in Boulder, Colorado, this was a guy who never should have been in this country to begin with. 0.98
00:19:27.820 He came in on a tourist visa.
00:19:29.960 He overstated.
00:19:31.280 And this was a radical Islamist.
00:19:34.020 And I want to read to you a tweet from Bill Malusian.
00:19:38.160 Now, regular listeners of this podcast know Bill Malusian is the best reporter in America.
00:19:43.640 He reports for Fox News, and he's been detailing what's going on at the border.
00:19:48.060 Here's what Bill Malusian tweeted.
00:19:49.620 Breaking.
00:19:50.480 New details on Colorado terror attack suspect as feds charge him with federal hate crime.
00:19:56.400 According to federal court filings obtained by Fox News, Egyptian illegal alien Mohammed Salaman admitted in an interview that he wanted to kill all, quote, Zionist people.
00:20:09.920 And he had been planning the attack for a year and that he would conduct the attack again if he could.
00:20:16.460 He allegedly told investigators that he waited to carry out the attack until his daughter graduated high school and that he specifically targeted the, quote, Zionist group in Boulder after learning about them from an online search.
00:20:33.220 It was premeditated as he allegedly admitted he knew they would gather on Sunday at 1 p.m.
00:20:39.920 He arrived and waited for them.
00:20:42.480 Additionally, investigators found a black container with 14 more Molotov cocktails near the spot he was arrested in.
00:20:52.700 Inside his vehicle, investigators found paperwork with the words Israel, Palestine, and USAID.
00:21:01.240 This man was admitted into the country via a tourist visa during the Biden administration.
00:21:08.100 He overstayed, filed an asylum request, and was granted work authorization by the Biden administration, which expired at the end of March of this year.
00:21:20.320 So understand, this guy came into this country.
00:21:22.980 He overstayed his visa.
00:21:24.900 And yet the Biden administration said, hey, look, a radical Islamic terrorist, we want you to stay.
00:21:30.920 It was not hard to figure out from his social media who this guy was.
00:21:34.440 But the Biden administration, they were not focused on defending this nation.
00:21:39.260 They were not focused on stopping terrorists from coming into this country.
00:21:43.560 Instead, they made a political decision.
00:21:46.220 I get asked all the time, Ben, why would Democrats open up the borders?
00:21:50.620 It clearly hurt them in the last election.
00:21:53.020 Why would they do this?
00:21:54.320 And I believe it was entirely about power.
00:21:56.980 They viewed 12 million illegal immigrants.
00:21:59.240 They said, listen, every one of these we think are going to vote for Democrats.
00:22:04.320 We want them in here.
00:22:06.080 Some portion of them will vote illegally.
00:22:08.320 The rest of them, they believed if they stayed in power, they would grant amnesty and make them all voters. 0.78
00:22:13.740 And if they have to bring in Muslim Brotherhood terrorists who are murdering people, sadly, the Democrats were willing to do that.
00:22:22.640 Yeah, this is the part that I really think we do need to make it clear, not just now, but in the future.
00:22:30.580 The Democratic Party, and you alluded to this in your comments there, their plan, they knew, was going to have disastrous consequences from a national security standpoint.
00:22:42.340 They were willing to play Russian roulette with that open border, and they were warned, and they saw the people that were on the terrorist watch list, Senator, and they didn't care because it was their overall plan to flood the country with illegal immigrants and fundamentally change this country. 0.93
00:22:59.300 They knew this plan would allow for people that are terrorists, some of them on the terrorist watch list at the time, to get into this country, and they still continued to have the open border policy because they basically said, hey, it's part of our bigger plan, and there's going to be collateral damage from this, so be it.
00:23:19.860 And listen, when I say this, this sounds harsh, and you sort of think of a listener who's not terribly political, and they're like, wait, the Democrats couldn't really want more terrorists in this country.
00:23:35.280 But at the end of the day, that was the inevitable consequence of the policies they put in place.
00:23:41.200 When you allow 12 million people to cross the border illegally, and by the way, the Biden Border Patrol, the Border Patrol, they instructed their agents be on the lookout for Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists coming across this border. 0.96
00:24:01.000 Look, we have radical zealots who have declared Jihad in America, who have demanded of their terrorists murder as many Americans as you can and murder as many Jews and Israelis as you can.
00:24:15.460 And in the face of those very real and clear national security threats, the fact that the Biden administration and the Democrats, it wasn't just Joe Biden.
00:24:25.700 It wasn't just Kamala Harris.
00:24:27.240 It was every single Democrat in the Senate.
00:24:29.920 It was every single Democrat in the House because they voted in favor of open borders over and over and over again.
00:24:36.780 They knew that some of the people coming were just like this radical.
00:24:41.740 And listen, I've reintroduced this week legislation to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:24:50.280 The Muslim Brotherhood, sadly—
00:24:51.920 And by the way, this is something you've been sounding the alarm on for quite some time.
00:24:56.200 I want to be very clear about that.
00:24:57.700 So I've been fighting for this legislation for more than a decade. 0.99
00:25:02.200 The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization.
00:25:05.840 It is in countries throughout the Middle East. 0.98
00:25:08.720 It is in Egypt.
00:25:10.580 It is in Qatar.
00:25:14.020 It is all across the Middle East.
00:25:16.280 And the Muslim Brotherhood openly, aggressively, they support Hamas. 0.91
00:25:21.980 They support Hezbollah. 0.98
00:25:22.920 They are a terrorist organization. 0.61
00:25:25.720 And by the way, to be clear, in Egypt, they're an actual political party. 0.95
00:25:31.200 Look, we had Mohamed Morsi, who was the leader of Egypt, who was a Muslim Brotherhood radical.
00:25:38.260 Now, thankfully, Mohamed Morsi was defeated.
00:25:42.080 And he was defeated by al-Sisi, who is fighting against the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:25:48.740 Look, look, if you look at the Arabs who are dealing with this, the Muslim Brotherhood and the jihadists, 0.92
00:25:54.640 they believe in using violence, using murder, to force people to embrace their radical Islamist view. 0.95
00:26:03.340 And yet, these are the radicals that are fighting, that are murdering Israelis, and that are murdering Americans. 0.92
00:26:14.320 And this is exactly the radicals that this lunatic in Boulder, Colorado, was embracing, 0.88
00:26:22.200 and that Joe Biden and the Democrats were letting into this country. 0.61
00:26:25.180 Final question on the designate of Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:26:31.580 Is this finally going to be the moment where you think there's a decent chance that this can become reality,
00:26:37.260 or there's still going to be Democrats at all costs that say, we are going to defend this?
00:26:42.340 So, I hope so.
00:26:43.960 So, right now, today, the Muslim Brotherhood is designated as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia.
00:26:50.720 They're designated in the United Arab Emirates.
00:26:54.160 They're designated in Egypt, in Syria, and Bahrain.
00:26:58.680 But the United States has yet to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization.
00:27:04.040 When you have a group that actively encourages the waging of jihad, the murdering of innocents, 0.51
00:27:13.080 they are a terrorist organization.
00:27:15.140 And so, I pressed the entire first Trump term for the Muslim Brotherhood to be designated.
00:27:22.660 We did not succeed.
00:27:24.020 I think we will succeed this administration.
00:27:26.540 I think President Trump is going to do this.
00:27:28.900 And I'm going to keep pressing, designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization,
00:27:34.860 because that is who they are. 0.60
00:27:37.420 And we saw the horrific and potentially deadly consequences this week in Boulder, Colorado.
00:27:43.600 So, it's an incredible story, and it's a sad one.
00:27:47.720 It's also one that we must keep following and keep fighting to protect American citizens.
00:27:52.000 And we're going to keep keeping you updated on this story.
