00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.620 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.440 Welcome.
00:00:06.160 It is Verdict with Ted Cruz and the Weekend Review.
00:00:09.320 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:10.580 And there were some major stories this week that you may have missed that I want to make
00:00:14.740 sure you know all about that the senator and I discussed.
00:00:18.040 First up, Biden has all of a sudden decided to freeze flights for illegals.
00:00:23.080 Why now?
00:00:24.020 Well, it's after there was an expose and it's shocking what we found out.
00:00:28.120 And we'll tell you about that in just a moment.
00:00:30.680 Also, Kamala Harris is in hiding.
00:00:33.300 Apparently, she thinks the way to become the president is do exactly what Joe Biden did.
00:00:38.380 Not talk to the media, not show up for anything that deals with question and answers and, you
00:00:43.860 know, just kind of walk into the White House.
00:00:46.500 Remember, no one's voted for her so far.
00:00:48.700 So will it work?
00:00:50.140 We'll dive into that.
00:00:51.520 And finally, the VP choice, Waltz.
00:00:54.180 Well, he's got some real baggage, including turning citizens on one another during COVID
00:01:00.200 in Minnesota.
00:01:01.500 We'll break that down for you as well.
00:01:03.980 It's the Weekend Review and it starts right now.
00:01:07.800 The Biden administration has come out and they have freezed these controversial, and I think
00:01:15.060 it's a mild way of putting it, migrant flight program.
00:01:18.680 After there were massive fraud revelations that had been exposed, Fox News, Bill Malugian
00:01:25.500 did an amazing job on this, and we should give him some serious credit.
00:01:29.860 But this is another example of the fraud and abuse and just not having any clue what they're
00:01:37.100 doing with a wide open border policy, whether it's migrants coming in on planes or coming across
00:01:44.140 the southern border and terrorists coming in with them, fentanyl coming in with them, the
00:01:49.280 worst criminals in the world getting into this country.
00:01:52.080 And now we find out, oh, wait, yet again, they have no idea who's even on the flights
00:01:56.760 they're allowing in.
00:01:58.580 Well, let me agree and disagree.
00:02:00.600 I'm going to agree, number one, that Bill Malugian has been incredible.
00:02:03.560 He's been the best reporter in the country highlighting the invasion at our southern border.
00:02:07.540 He's truly been a hero reporting on this.
00:02:09.880 I'm going to disagree, though, when you said that Biden and Harris have no idea what they're
00:02:13.280 doing, I think they know exactly what they're doing.
00:02:16.120 They are presiding over an invasion of our country.
00:02:18.800 It is deliberate.
00:02:20.440 The 11 and a half million illegal aliens that have come into this country, Joe Biden and
00:02:24.320 Kamala Harris want them to come in, and they are doing this for power.
00:02:30.540 Now, this program, and you and I have talked about this program multiple times on this podcast,
00:02:35.620 was a program where they weren't simply taking people that were apprehended on the southern
00:02:40.060 border and letting them go, although they're doing that by the millions.
00:02:43.280 They were actually flying them from their home countries directly into America, and this
00:02:49.140 program was focused on four countries, Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
00:02:55.000 And under this program, up to 30,000 nationals a month, Biden and Harris were flying in from
00:03:01.780 Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
00:03:03.660 And by the way, we focused on, and I've talked multiple times about, one of those instances
00:03:09.460 involved a Haitian national that flew in under this program from Haiti to Boston.
00:03:15.000 In Boston, they released this illegal immigrant.
00:03:18.320 He turned around and raped a 15-year-old girl with severe mental disabilities.
00:03:25.220 He was arrested for raping this 15-year-old girl.
00:03:29.400 Just a couple of weeks ago, he was released from jail on bond.
00:03:33.260 Do you know how much his bond was?
00:03:34.680 $500.
00:03:35.640 A left-wing judge said, you rape a disabled girl, a teenager, $500 should cover it.
00:03:42.040 It is outrageous.
00:03:43.360 And understand, this wasn't someone who had crossed the border and escaped.
00:03:47.260 This is someone that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris said, you know, we need to fly this guy from
00:03:51.500 Haiti to commit these kind of crimes here.
00:03:53.960 And by the way, another of the countries included in this is Venezuela.
00:03:57.180 We have talked about, I believe Maduro in Venezuela is very deliberately, systematically emptying
00:04:04.300 his jails and sending criminals here.
00:04:06.680 Sending murderers, sending rapists, sending child molesters, doing it deliberately.
00:04:11.140 And it's reminiscent of what Castro did with the Mario Boatlift, where Castro emptied the
00:04:17.760 jails in Cuba and put criminals and emptied the insane asylums and put people with serious
00:04:22.760 mental illness on boats and send them into America.
00:04:25.420 And we saw a crime wave result from that.
00:04:28.140 I think Maduro in Venezuela is doing the same thing.
00:04:31.360 And so suddenly, this is actually in many ways the same story as the one we talked about
00:04:36.800 a minute ago, the reversal of the 9-11 plea deal, which is we are less than 100 days from
00:04:42.320 an election.
00:04:43.700 I think the Biden administration realized, hey, wait, people really don't like chaos at
00:04:48.800 our southern border and 11 and a half billion people invading this country.
00:04:51.700 And they really dislike that we're facilitating it actively.
00:04:54.420 And so, again on Friday, the news broke.
00:04:59.700 The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that, quote, out of an abundance of caution,
00:05:04.240 it has temporarily paused the issuing of advanced travel authorizations for the program, which
00:05:09.820 allows up to 30,000 nationals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to travel into the
00:05:14.020 U.S. each month and enter legally under the administration's use of parole if they meet
00:05:19.460 certain conditions.
00:05:21.420 A congressional source had told Fox News Digital that the pause came in mid-July after an internal
00:05:26.740 report unearthed large amounts of fraud, no kidding, in applications for those sponsoring
00:05:32.640 the applicants.
00:05:34.300 DHS said the pause was occurring as it reviewed sponsor applications.
00:05:37.900 The focus is on issues with supporter filings and not with the filings from beneficiaries
00:05:43.420 of the program themselves.
00:05:45.680 Quote, DHS has review mechanisms in place to detect and prevent fraud and abuse in our
00:05:51.180 immigration processes.
00:05:52.840 DHS takes any abuse of its processes very seriously, a DHS spokesperson said.
00:05:57.380 Where fraud is identified, U.S. ICE will investigate and litigate applicable cases in immigration
00:06:02.420 court to make criminal referrals to the Department of Justice.
00:06:05.920 Quote, out of an abundance of caution, DHS has temporarily paused the issuance of advanced
00:06:12.500 travel authorizations for new beneficiaries while it undertakes a review of supporter applications.
00:06:18.580 DHS will restart application processing as quickly as possible with appropriate safeguards.
00:06:25.100 Now, I want to emphasize one word into what I just read.
00:06:29.820 Temporarily.
00:06:31.240 As in temporarily paused.
00:06:33.620 I'm going to make a prediction.
00:06:35.360 If, God forbid, Kamala Harris wins, temporarily will end in mid-November.
00:06:43.260 They'll probably wait a week after Election Day, and then suddenly the program is back on,
00:06:48.640 and we've got another four years of an invasion, and we'll see an 11.5 million people become
00:06:53.360 20 million or 30 million.
00:06:55.860 Those are the stakes of this election.
00:06:57.540 If these guys win, this temporary pause disappears, and they return to the business of invading our
00:07:04.140 nation.
00:07:05.080 Senator, I want to go to strategy for just a second here.
00:07:09.740 It's very weird to see how quickly we're moving on on different issues.
00:07:14.400 You know, Donald Trump gets shot at.
00:07:16.180 Oh, it's old news a few weeks later.
00:07:18.180 Joe Biden's incompetent and resign.
00:07:20.120 You know, he says, I'm not going to run for re-election.
00:07:22.940 Then we have no fight at a convention.
00:07:27.140 Bam, Kamala Harris gets it out.
00:07:28.620 You know, and it's all settled and done.
00:07:30.720 You move on for that.
00:07:31.720 Then they start saying that J.D. Vance is weird because he's a family guy.
00:07:35.120 But, you know, hanging out with drag queens and story hour at the White House and men with
00:07:39.760 fake breasts, you know, flashing people at the White House.
00:07:42.260 That's normal, apparently, and not weird.
00:07:44.000 You got everything that's happening at the Olympics, and we still have this really big
00:07:49.080 issue, which is a wide open southern border.
00:07:51.300 We still have terrorists that are being caught.
00:07:52.920 We talked about that.
00:07:54.280 We have potential terrorists that are trying to get onto military bases, and they're being
00:07:58.700 let go.
00:07:59.940 How do you keep this an election year issue if you're Donald Trump against Kamala Harris
00:08:05.800 specifically on this issue and going, you guys, like, not only have you created the
00:08:10.840 problem, you are the problem, the media tells us she's not the border czar.
00:08:15.040 We've already proven she was absolutely named the border czar, and the media said it quite
00:08:18.820 a few times.
00:08:19.980 Now they're trying to take that back.
00:08:21.320 So how do you deal with this issue with the American voter where it matters three months
00:08:27.520 out?
00:08:28.440 You focus on substance.
00:08:30.060 You focus on issues.
00:08:31.140 You focus on Kamala's horrible record.
00:08:33.260 You focus on the disaster that it's meant for American families.
00:08:37.120 And you're right, the media is working overtime, trying to erase the last four years.
00:08:42.700 The fact that Donald Trump, there was an attempted assassination attempt, we've seen
00:08:46.840 big tech, we've seen the media try to completely erase that, just trying to write it away.
00:08:52.000 On the fact that Kamala Harris was the border czar, they're trying to gaslight and say that's
00:08:56.020 not the truth.
00:08:57.060 On the fact that Kamala Harris for years has called for banning fracking, they're trying
00:09:00.740 to erase that and say that's not the truth.
00:09:02.540 And on open borders, look, these two decisions, the 9-11 plea deal and the program flying in
00:09:10.160 over 300,000 illegal immigrants every year, they're trying to reverse that just moments
00:09:15.500 before the election because they really do think the voters are dumb, that they're easily
00:09:20.620 fooled.
00:09:21.680 But, I mean, let's break down some of the details.
00:09:23.860 So, this temporary pause in this program was driven by an internal report at the Department
00:09:31.340 of Homeland Security about fraud.
00:09:32.940 And let me break down some of the substance of it, because we're not talking a little fraud.
00:09:36.780 We're talking massive fraud.
00:09:39.120 So, the report showed that 100,948 forms were filled out by a total of 3,218 serial sponsors.
00:09:51.640 A serial sponsor is someone whose number appears on 20 or more forms.
00:09:56.220 So, you've got about 3,000 people that are bringing in more than 100,000 illegal immigrants.
00:10:01.100 Now, here's something that will really blow you away.
00:10:03.660 It found that 24 of the 1,000 most used numbers belong to a dead person.
00:10:10.900 Meanwhile, 100 physical addresses were used between 124 and 739 times on a total of over
00:10:25.020 19,000 forms.
00:10:26.860 Those addresses included storage units.
00:10:30.840 One sponsor phone number was submitted on over 2,000 forms, and there were 2,839 forms with
00:10:40.320 non-existent sponsor zip codes.
00:10:44.080 Look, this is rampant fraud.
00:10:47.680 And it is rampant fraud designed to create, facilitate, and accelerate a criminal invasion
00:10:56.900 of the United States of America.
00:10:58.420 And I'm going to stipulate right now that of those serial sponsors, those 3,218 serial
00:11:09.340 sponsors, all are left-wing Democrats.
00:11:14.300 I have no proof of that.
00:11:15.460 I just live in the planet Earth.
00:11:16.880 I'm aware of the people who want this country to be invaded.
00:11:20.300 And they're committing fraud.
00:11:23.060 And to be clear, the Biden-Harris administration doesn't care.
00:11:29.280 They are happy to do this, except in the 100 days before an election.
00:11:33.980 In the 100 days before an election, they will pretend to give a damn.
00:11:38.260 But it is cynical to the point.
00:11:40.480 And by the way, have you heard Joe Biden say a word about this?
00:11:44.600 Not a word.
00:11:45.500 Have you heard Kamala Harris say a word about this?
00:11:48.060 Nope.
00:11:48.780 How about even one Democrat senator, one Democrat House member?
00:11:52.660 None of them.
00:11:53.400 They're completely silent, like it's not happening.
00:11:55.580 Like, that report is stunning.
00:11:58.800 And they will not even acknowledge it exists.
00:12:01.060 They just say, oh, no, no, we're pausing.
00:12:02.500 Not happened.
00:12:02.960 Nope, nope.
00:12:03.340 Never mind.
00:12:03.740 Never mind.
00:12:04.280 We got an election to happen.
00:12:05.560 Never mind at all.
00:12:06.820 Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast
00:12:11.620 from earlier this week.
00:12:13.720 Canadian women are looking for more.
00:12:15.960 More out of themselves.
00:12:16.740 Their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.
00:12:20.100 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:12:23.820 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:12:25.000 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:12:26.240 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:12:29.960 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of
00:12:34.860 their journey.
00:12:35.720 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:12:38.960 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:12:43.020 Now, on to story number two.
00:12:47.220 Senator, let me also ask you another question, and that's going to be the debate.
00:12:52.220 There was a debate that was offered up.
00:12:54.680 Kamala Harris said no.
00:12:56.280 That was going to be on Fox.
00:12:57.880 Now, apparently, they've agreed to another debate on one of the major networks.
00:13:01.400 And if she's not doing interviews, and you have to put out press statements, you know,
00:13:06.140 that Vice President Harris pledges to schedule an interview before the end of the month after
00:13:10.380 speaking with her team on Thursday.
00:13:12.680 Quote, it's unclear if the interview will take place in the last three weeks of August
00:13:15.860 or whether the interview scheduling will take place before August ends, quote-unquote.
00:13:22.080 But Harris, as you mentioned at the beginning of the show, has not given one unscripted press
00:13:27.360 conference since she joined the presidential race 18 days ago, to use, you know, Walt's
00:13:32.260 favorite word.
00:13:33.000 That's weird.
00:13:34.240 And may continue to void the press until Labor Day, 25 days from now, 24 days from now.
00:13:40.120 A longtime Harris ally told Politico for their publication, basically, I think, limiting
00:13:46.320 expectations.
00:13:48.080 And now you look at this, you go, OK, she's going into hiding.
00:13:51.820 How important is the next presidential debate then?
00:13:55.000 Well, look, Trump came out and challenged her to three presidential debates.
00:13:59.600 And that's a very normal thing to do.
00:14:01.160 If you look in history at modern times, there have typically been three presidential debates
00:14:06.540 and usually one vice presidential debate.
00:14:09.600 That's been the history for a long time.
00:14:11.600 And so what Trump challenged her to, he challenged her to it on three different networks.
00:14:15.580 That was a very reasonable challenge.
00:14:17.040 I don't think she'll accept.
00:14:18.960 My prediction is we will see one presidential debate between Trump and Kamala.
00:14:23.520 I think her team would love that to be zero, but I think they will probably make the judgment
00:14:29.000 that zero would project so much weakness that it would be a problem.
00:14:34.960 I think the chances that they agree to three are essentially zero, because from their perspective,
00:14:42.120 why would they?
00:14:43.220 Every day they are getting tens of millions of dollars of free press, and the press is
00:14:49.180 just running a 24-hour infomercial for her.
00:14:53.460 So why would she do anything to take the Kamala Harris infomercial off TV?
00:14:58.400 The press wants her to win.
00:15:01.360 I think they will feel like we've got to do one.
00:15:04.500 And by the way, and we'll talk about this as the debate approaches, look, that debate has
00:15:09.220 risks for both of them.
00:15:10.580 It has risks for her, because when she's unscripted, when she's ad-libbing, she can say all sorts
00:15:18.400 of zany things that are not terribly impressive.
00:15:20.920 But it also has risks for Trump, and in particular, it has risks for Trump of being too aggressive,
00:15:26.480 too mean, and that has a potential to backfire.
00:15:29.520 Kamala is not Joe Biden.
00:15:32.500 And so, you know, from the Democrat perspective, I think they would hope that Trump would come
00:15:40.220 across as a bully or mean, because I think they would be calculating that doing so might
00:15:47.580 well push swing voters to Kamala.
00:15:49.720 And so, where I think we'll end up is one debate, September or October.
00:15:55.980 I think Trump rightly will keep pushing for more.
00:15:57.940 Well, and ABC News has apparently, yeah, well, ABC News has now apparently confirmed that both
00:16:04.160 Trump and Harris, quote, have agreed to basic terms for their debate on September the 10th.
00:16:11.560 So you're saying you believe there's a very good chance that may be the only debate they
00:16:15.620 do.
00:16:15.900 And remember, that was the previously agreed debate that Joe Biden had also agreed to,
00:16:21.640 that Trump initially was pushing back and not wanting and saying, how about we do Fox
00:16:25.920 instead?
00:16:26.500 And Kamala didn't want to do that.
00:16:28.780 It's they both now said, OK, we'll do ABC on September 10th.
00:16:33.660 I'd love to see three debates.
00:16:35.120 I think it would be better for democracy.
00:16:36.600 I think it would be it would be better for the American people, for the voters.
00:16:40.180 But I think Kamala Harris and the Democrats do not give a flying flip about democracy.
00:16:45.520 Don't give a flying flip about the voters.
00:16:48.120 They every single day that she does nothing.
00:16:51.980 The media is campaigning for 24 hours a day.
00:16:56.480 And I think their entire strategy is don't get in the way of the media campaign unfolding
00:17:01.700 right now.
00:17:03.220 So let me ask you this.
00:17:04.540 And I look to Vegas every once in a while because it just I find it fascinating to see
00:17:08.120 where they and how they rank the race.
00:17:10.160 You look at this media propaganda that is historic on its scale for Harris and all of the money
00:17:18.720 that's flown in to boost her and the ads that are running, everyone, I think, has seen them
00:17:23.480 now.
00:17:24.480 She is now only at even odds with Trump in Vegas.
00:17:29.160 This after they've thrown everything that they have at Harris to try to save the Democratic
00:17:35.380 Party.
00:17:35.880 And the question is, is the Kamala honeymoon over if it is if it's straight up forty nine
00:17:42.920 forty nine in Vegas right now?
00:17:45.740 Is this now going to turn into somewhat of an actual and real campaign?
00:17:51.080 Look, I hope so.
00:17:52.980 I still believe Trump is going to win in November and that we're going to see a very good election
00:17:59.040 where Republicans win the White House, we win the Senate, we win the House.
00:18:02.120 That's what I think is likely to happen.
00:18:03.600 That being said, the chances of that today are significantly less than they were three
00:18:09.860 weeks ago.
00:18:10.400 Three weeks ago in Milwaukee, you and I did several podcasts from Milwaukee, live from
00:18:15.180 the convention.
00:18:16.720 In Milwaukee, the feeling was exuberant.
00:18:19.520 In fact, you and I talked about on this podcast at the convention.
00:18:22.700 I was worried.
00:18:23.600 I said at the time, I think Republicans are overconfident that that that we feel like the
00:18:30.140 race is over.
00:18:30.940 We're celebrating.
00:18:32.040 You and I had conversations with people there that that that that were already handing out
00:18:37.100 cabinet positions.
00:18:37.940 And my view is the time for celebration is after the election, not before.
00:18:43.540 Now, the reason there was such a sense of exuberance is is because Joe Biden was the opponent.
00:18:48.760 And I think if Joe Biden had stayed the opponent, Trump would have won easily.
00:18:52.460 And the problem was Democrats came to that same conclusion.
00:18:56.300 Oh, crap, we're going to lose if Biden's the president is the nominee.
00:18:59.520 So they yanked him out of the way and pushed him aside and replaced him with Kamala.
00:19:03.600 Right now, three weeks later, we've seen three weeks of relentless propaganda for Kamala.
00:19:09.840 And and we have also seen so Trump, for much of his presidential time and much of his campaigning
00:19:19.240 time, has been able to dominate the free media narrative, has been able to drive the stories.
00:19:24.560 The past three weeks, the free media narrative has all been about Kamala.
00:19:28.400 And I think one challenge that I'm sure the Trump campaign is focused on right now is how
00:19:34.500 they drive the free media narrative in a way that highlights how radical and extreme Kamala is.
00:19:41.280 And I would say I think it's a mistake for them to get into personal issues, issues that are unrelated
00:19:49.640 to Kamala's extreme record and in particular how it impacts people.
00:19:55.180 Listen, every election, I think, is decided.
00:19:58.180 So give it. Give us an example of what you mean by that.
00:20:01.000 Give us an example, because you said not getting into the personal stuff.
00:20:06.660 Every election, I think, is decided by the same basic question.
00:20:10.940 Are you better off today than you were four years ago?
00:20:14.900 I think the Trump campaign ought to be discussing every single day how ordinary people's lives
00:20:21.920 are worse, how young people coming out of school, look newly married, looking to buy their
00:20:27.420 first home, are discovering that if you try to buy a home with a seven or eight percent
00:20:32.040 mortgage instead of a two and a half percent mortgage, you get half the house you used to
00:20:37.180 be able to get four years ago.
00:20:39.400 Talking about seniors who are discovering every one of their bills has gone up and yet their
00:20:46.540 income is not keeping pace.
00:20:48.700 Talking about families who are scared because illegal immigrants are being released every single
00:20:55.820 day, as I said on the stage in Milwaukee, every damn day an American is murdered, a woman
00:21:02.420 is raped, a child is assaulted and brutalized by illegal immigrants released by Joe Biden,
00:21:09.700 Kamala Harris.
00:21:10.600 And I think the Trump campaign should focus on how to drive the narrative every day, both
00:21:16.500 their paid messaging, but also as much as possible, the earned media, on how people's lives
00:21:23.040 are worse now because of the failures.
00:21:27.460 Kamala Harris should not be able to run on the hypothetical of what a Harris presidency would
00:21:35.140 look like, because you know what?
00:21:36.900 She and Joe have been in office for four years.
00:21:39.580 We know exactly what it looks like, and it's a train wreck.
00:21:42.600 And the Trump campaign, I think, needs to make that the topic of discussion as much as
00:21:49.180 possible every day between now and Election Day.
00:21:51.560 Senator, final question I have for you, and that is, how do you prep, if you're Donald
00:22:00.160 Trump right now, for attacking a candidate that's in hiding?
00:22:04.140 I mean, it's different because the last time it was the attack was pretty clear.
00:22:08.540 The line was, he's incapacitated.
00:22:10.800 He can't do the job, referring to Biden.
00:22:12.860 You can't use that line against Harris.
00:22:15.340 So what do you do to undermine her in hiding?
00:22:18.260 Do you say, hey, I thought she was able-bodied, I guess she's not, and try to bait her that
00:22:23.120 way?
00:22:23.640 What's the strategy?
00:22:25.760 Look, I think you focus on substance.
00:22:28.640 Her policies are extreme.
00:22:30.240 Her record is extreme.
00:22:31.520 Her record is a failure.
00:22:33.060 Her record is hurting you.
00:22:35.040 Your life is worse off.
00:22:37.200 You know, if you look at across the country, virtually no one answers the question, yes,
00:22:47.200 are you better off today than you were four years ago, unless you happen to be a big tech
00:22:52.800 billionaire or a Mexican drug lord.
00:22:55.440 And by the way, if you're a Mexican drug lord, you ought to vote for Kamala and Waltz.
00:22:59.120 They're clearly the candidate for you.
00:23:01.080 If you're a big tech billionaire, they're your candidate, too.
00:23:04.480 But if you're a steel worker, if you're a suburban mom, if you're a young person, if
00:23:11.720 you're somebody, if you're a senior, if you're somebody who loves America, if you're somebody
00:23:16.100 who wants your kids safe, if you're someone who wants your grandkids safe, if you're someone
00:23:19.940 who wants to see peace and prosperity in the world and not chaos, then the choice is a lot
00:23:30.140 clearer.
00:23:30.920 And that's what I think the Trump campaign needs to be looking every day to make that
00:23:37.500 real and personal and why it matters to you.
00:23:42.580 As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go
00:23:46.800 back and download the podcast from early this week to hear the entire thing.
00:23:51.420 Canadian women are looking for more, more of themselves, their businesses, their elected
00:23:56.000 leaders and the world around them.
00:23:57.580 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:24:01.580 I'm Jennifer Stewart.
00:24:02.680 And I'm Catherine Clark.
00:24:03.900 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists,
00:24:09.020 athletes, politicians and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:24:13.400 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:24:16.640 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:24:20.680 I want to get back to the big story, number three of the week you may have missed.
00:24:26.940 Senator, snitch lines are used in communist countries, socialist countries, where you
00:24:32.180 indoctrinate kids to snitch on their parents, right?
00:24:34.880 And you tell them, the kids, hey, come to school and hey, tell the authorities, hey, tell
00:24:39.520 us, the teachers, what your parents are doing that are going against the government.
00:24:43.360 And yet this is what the governor was doing in Minnesota, actually using tax dollars to do
00:24:48.900 exactly the same damn thing.
00:24:51.120 Look, we will lock you up, rat out your parents, rat out your kids, rat out your family members.
00:24:55.960 The government is in charge.
00:24:57.860 Anyone who violates my lockdown order, report on them to the government.
00:25:02.500 But by the way, it's not surprising that Tim Waltz loves him some communist China.
00:25:08.620 Listen to this clip.
00:25:09.940 I've been focusing on and I lived in China.
00:25:12.040 And as I said, I've been there about 30 times.
00:25:14.380 But if someone tells you they're an expert on China, they're probably not telling you the
00:25:18.100 truth because it's a complex country.
00:25:19.600 But it's critically important for us.
00:25:21.060 I don't fall into the category that China necessarily needs to be an adversarial relationship.
00:25:25.680 I totally disagree.
00:25:27.280 I mean, this is a guy and I go back to what I said earlier.
00:25:30.920 These clips need to be shared everywhere.
00:25:33.320 So if you are an avid listener verdict, share this podcast on social media because the media
00:25:39.800 is not going to play any of this for you.
00:25:42.320 So to be clear, he's not even saying that China is not our mortal enemy and we must destroy
00:25:47.800 them.
00:25:48.440 He's saying, I don't fall into the category that China needs to be an adversarial relationship.
00:25:56.200 I totally disagree.
00:25:59.200 This is someone who's made a life embracing communist China.
00:26:03.900 And by the way, I want you to hear a really weird quote, a weird quote.
00:26:12.700 So Tim Waltz grew up in a town called West Point, Nebraska in the 70s and 80s.
00:26:19.180 And here's a quote that he said.
00:26:22.180 He said, Waltz has always been fascinated by communist China.
00:26:25.860 He remembers from his childhood pictures of Mao Zedong hung in public places and carried
00:26:34.080 in parades.
00:26:36.300 Now, in West Point, Nebraska, that was a town of about 3,300 people.
00:26:42.540 Who the hell was hanging pictures of Mao Zedong and carrying them in parades?
00:26:47.980 I mean, this is a guy who literally says like there are pro-communist parades in Nebraska.
00:26:54.320 Like, what circles was this guy running on?
00:26:57.860 And you're right.
00:26:58.320 The media is not going to report on that.
00:27:00.120 That's from a newspaper, from an article where they thought that was praising him.
00:27:06.620 But all right, let's go through a little bit more of his record.
00:27:10.400 How about open borders?
00:27:12.100 So we know that he signed into law, a law that allows Minnesota residents to get driver's
00:27:20.340 license, even if they're illegal aliens.
00:27:22.320 Play that clip.
00:27:23.060 A packed room at the St. Paul Armory erupted after the governor's signature made driver's
00:27:30.920 license for all the law of the land.
00:27:35.320 I mean, he was so excited about this.
00:27:37.460 It is law.
00:27:38.600 Come to Minnesota, illegal immigrants, and I'll give you everything you want, including
00:27:42.720 that driver's license.
00:27:44.180 And then he said that every other state should do it as well.
00:27:46.440 Well, and listen, it's not like Tim Walz, like Kamala Harris, is rooting for 11 and a half
00:27:52.180 million illegal immigrants to invade this country.
00:27:55.300 Well, no, actually it is.
00:27:57.320 Listen to what he said about whether he wants illegal aliens to climb the border wall and
00:28:03.380 invade this country illegally.
00:28:04.600 Play that clip.
00:28:05.200 And I think seeing a plan that's out there, talking about it with folks, knowing that
00:28:11.140 he's not going to do anything, you know, he talks about this wall.
00:28:14.060 I always say, let me know how high it is.
00:28:15.620 If it's 25 feet, then I'll invest in the 30-foot ladder factory.
00:28:18.460 That's not how you stop this.
00:28:19.620 This is a guy that has done a 180 from everything you would do if you believed in securing our
00:28:28.060 borders.
00:28:28.740 He is a wide open sanctuary state.
00:28:31.420 He is in favor of adding laddery factories to help illegals get across the wall.
00:28:36.320 If they built the wall, he is a guy that says, come into our state, wherever you're coming
00:28:42.920 from in the world.
00:28:43.840 We are a sanctuary state, and we're proud to say that that is what we are.
00:28:47.720 And this goes back to what you said.
00:28:50.120 He is a radical that is there clearly to help Kamala Harris enforce her radical agenda ideas.
00:28:58.680 Well, and understand, he's not saying as like a financial matter that he wants to invest
00:29:04.400 in ladder companies.
00:29:05.380 He's not advising that as a stock picking tip.
00:29:08.700 What he's saying is he's rooting for the people climbing the wall.
00:29:12.980 He's rooting for the people crossing into this country, and he's not admitting this, but
00:29:17.460 he's rooting for the human traffickers.
00:29:19.100 He's rooting effectively for the drug cartels.
00:29:22.100 And that's exactly where Kamala Harris is.
00:29:24.780 Kamala Harris was our border czar.
00:29:26.960 She was in charge of the border during this invasion of 11 and a half million people.
00:29:31.860 And Tim Waltz is there.
00:29:33.600 He will be the cheerleader.
00:29:34.860 The two of them will wave their pom-poms cheering on the invasion, going, yay, ladders,
00:29:41.740 yay, tunnels.
00:29:42.560 Get into this country illegally.
00:29:43.880 Why?
00:29:44.620 Because we think you're going to vote for Democrats.
00:29:46.940 And his record is he supports open borders.
00:29:52.040 So does Kamala Harris.
00:29:53.000 That's why she picked him.
00:29:54.360 Senator, I mean, we really could see it in the just moments and hours after the announcement
00:30:01.580 from Kamala Harris of the VP pick being Waltz that the media had one clear plan and strategy,
00:30:07.220 and that was describe the pick, Tim Waltz, as a moderate.
00:30:12.380 He is nothing but a radical.
00:30:15.320 Listen, that is absolutely right.
00:30:18.000 This is someone who is an extremist.
00:30:20.440 His record, he's embraced socialism.
00:30:22.720 He's embraced open borders.
00:30:24.800 He's embraced COVID lockdown.
00:30:26.480 He was responsible for shutting schools down in Minnesota and hurting low-income kids,
00:30:31.160 hurting African-American kids, hurting Hispanic kids in his state.
00:30:34.360 He's been a radical on gender extremism, including castrating and sterilizing little boys and little girls.
00:30:42.060 He mandates that tampons be provided to 10-year-old boys.
00:30:46.880 He loves him some communist Chinese, lived in China.
00:30:50.740 He says we shouldn't be an adversary with them.
00:30:53.060 He's advocated ladder factories to climb over border walls.
00:30:56.780 He has been extreme, but the media says, oh, he's a Midwestern guy.
00:31:04.100 He was a schoolteacher.
00:31:05.620 By the way, Bowman, the squad member in New York who was just beaten in a Democrat primary
00:31:10.980 because he was so radical and so anti-Israel and such a socialist, he was a schoolteacher.
00:31:14.960 I've got to say, there are a bunch of radicals that are schoolteachers,
00:31:17.640 so just saying that is not a moderating middle-of-the-road factor necessarily.
00:31:24.520 But part of what the media is trying to say is, well, he's a Midwesterner who appeals to country folks.
00:31:31.340 He appeals to rural voters.
00:31:33.160 Now, to be clear, in Minnesota, he did even worse with rural voters than his predecessors,
00:31:37.480 but I want you to listen to what Tim Walz thinks about rural America.
00:31:43.160 See those maps?
00:31:44.140 Red and blue, and there's all that red across there, and Democrats go into depression over it.
00:31:48.560 It's mostly rocks and cows that are in that red area.
00:31:52.280 Rocks and cows, Senator.
00:31:53.700 That's what he thinks.
00:31:55.320 That's what he thinks about rural America.
00:31:57.320 This is the governor of Minneapolis.
00:32:00.460 This is the governor of left-wing pro-China radicals,
00:32:04.740 and Kamala Harris is the vice president of San Francisco,
00:32:08.400 and that's who they're running to represent.
00:32:10.860 And if you happen not to be a San Francisco leftist,
00:32:13.980 if you happen not to be a Minneapolis leftist,
00:32:17.020 if you happen not to love communist China, not to love open borders,
00:32:19.920 not to love BLM rioters burning your city to the ground,
00:32:23.260 well, they're not running to represent you.
00:32:25.620 As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
