00:00:04.520 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:08.440 And Senator, we now know a lot more about who's behind the protests on college campuses.

00:00:13.900 Well, that's exactly right.

00:00:15.200 We're going to do a deep dive into these anti-Israel, anti-Semitic protests,

00:00:19.120 these pro-Hamas protests that are breaking out at college campuses all over the country.

00:00:23.540 We're going to go into some of the extreme views that are being taken by the organizers,

00:00:27.280 by the radicals putting it on, by the professors who are participating.

00:00:31.060 We're going to get into the weakness, to the fecklessness of the college administrators

00:00:35.440 who are terrified to take on these rabid anti-Semites.

00:00:39.740 And we're going to follow the money.

00:00:41.020 We're going to lay out this is not simply occurring magically and organically.

00:00:45.660 There are a whole lot of dollars that are being written to cause this chaos, this dissension,

00:00:50.420 this attack on Israel, this attack on America.

00:00:52.600 We're going to break that down.

00:02:20.000 Senator, it has been a crazy week on college campuses specifically.

00:02:24.840 And also, we are now understanding a little bit more of these protests.

00:02:30.900 We understand where the money's coming from.

00:02:33.700 We understand they're working with colleges and professors.

00:02:36.800 We understand that the colleges are giving these students the leeway to really push the limits on free speech and to attack Jewish students, to intimidate them.

00:02:48.260 They're now canceling classes.

00:02:49.960 It is shocking to see this happen on college campuses.

00:02:52.660 But make no mistake, this is all being done behind the scenes in advance.

00:02:57.180 Well, that's exactly right.

00:02:58.220 And you have to understand, first of all, the radicals that are putting this on.

00:03:02.480 This is not ordinary political speech.

00:03:05.500 This is not within the mainstream of discussions. 0.98

00:03:08.920 These are radicals who hate Jews, who are bigots, who are violent, who are threatening violence, who are threatening so far as murder. 0.70

00:03:20.140 Here, I want you to look at one of the organizers of these pro-Hamas protesters at Columbia University and take your own assessment of just kind of what kind of person this is. 0.98

00:03:31.540 And so, be glad, be grateful that I'm not just going out and murdering Zionists. 1.00

00:03:43.900 I've never murdered anyone in my life, and I hope to keep it that way. 0.89

00:03:48.900 I genuinely hope to keep it that way.

00:03:51.040 Hope to keep it that way.

00:03:52.300 If you're a Jewish student that goes to college where that person goes to college, I'd be terrified. 1.00

00:03:57.660 And by the way, look, the phrase, be glad I'm not just killing Zionists. 0.99

00:04:04.160 Now, you know what the word Zionist means? 0.95

00:04:06.880 I think he means Jews.

00:04:09.040 Exactly. 0.68

00:04:09.800 That's the word that bigots use when they want to mean Jews.

00:04:14.360 What does he want to do? 1.00

00:04:16.320 Murder Jews. 1.00

00:04:17.320 He hasn't yet. 0.99

00:04:18.900 He hopes he doesn't. 0.88

00:04:20.840 But we ought to be glad that he's not actively murdering Jews. 0.80

00:04:26.700 And this is...

00:04:28.040 Let me ask you this, and this is so important.

00:04:30.260 Is that free speech or is that a threat?

00:04:33.420 And by the way, he also said in that same interview, he said, quote,

00:04:38.320 Zionists don't deserve to live. 1.00

00:04:42.900 Jews don't deserve to live. 1.00

00:04:44.200 Yes. 1.00

00:04:44.620 Translation.

00:04:45.020 And, you know, it's not like in history there have been any people who believe Jews don't deserve to live. 1.00

00:04:51.660 We ought to just kill all the Jews. 1.00

00:04:53.680 Like, you literally have lefty college campuses. 1.00

00:04:56.400 He ought to get a little Hitler mustache and just, you know, start doing Sig Heil. 0.96

00:05:00.700 I mean, these leftists, they are Nazis.

00:05:03.520 And by the way, listen, I don't like in politics Nazi comparisons.

00:05:07.460 I think they're used too often.

00:05:08.840 Yeah.

00:05:08.980 But what Hamas did on October 7th, the Nazis would be proud. 1.00

00:05:15.920 It was the same sort of indiscriminate mass murder directed at Jews because they are Jews.

00:05:21.760 That the world has not seen at that scale since the Holocaust. 0.91

00:05:26.720 October 7th was in one day the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.

00:05:31.560 And by the way, when you are murdering civilians, when you're murdering the elderly, when you're murdering children, when you're raping women and little girls, when you're beheading people, those are the atrocities the Nazis committed. 0.63

00:05:46.400 That is what these pro-Hamas protesters are chanting. 0.71

00:05:51.060 Now, you asked about, is that a threat?

00:05:54.120 Listen, if you are threatening violence, that is not protected by the Constitution.

00:05:58.460 If you are threatening to kill anyone, that's not protected by the Constitution.

00:06:03.920 We know that the threats are being heard and perceived because we know at Columbia the Orthodox rabbi sent out an email, actually a WhatsApp, to the some 260 Jewish students on campus saying, do not come to campus, stay home.

00:06:19.400 Why?

00:06:20.060 Because Columbia cannot and will not protect your safety.

00:06:22.860 So the threats are real and perceived.

00:06:25.940 And by the way, look, it's worth doing a little bit of a deep dive on free speech.

00:06:30.320 Does the First Amendment protect your right to free speech?

00:06:33.320 Yes. Yes, you have a right to speak.

00:06:35.780 And by the way, that includes Nazis. 0.54

00:06:37.700 There's a famous decision, Skokie, Illinois, where the Nazis wanted to march in the downtown city.

00:06:44.360 And it went all the way to the Supreme Court.

00:06:46.140 Supreme Court concluded, yep, the Nazis have a right to march under the First Amendment. 0.74

00:06:50.300 And that is correct.

00:06:52.020 But you know what they're not immune to?

00:06:53.660 They're not immune, number one, to counter speech.

00:06:55.860 And I think anyone has an obligation.

00:06:57.400 If you see a Nazi, if you see a Klansman, or if you see a pro-Hamas bigot.

00:07:03.320 To respond with truth.

00:07:05.160 To respond with facts.

00:07:06.620 To counter the hate.

00:07:09.040 That's number one.

00:07:10.020 But number two, just because the Constitution allows you to say it, does not mean a university has to allow it on their campus.

00:07:19.000 That's what I was going to ask second.

00:07:20.380 And I'm glad you went there, is that there doesn't seem to be any accountability on these college campuses from the administration.

00:07:28.080 If there is accountability, it's coming from police outside.

00:07:30.480 So listen, does anybody doubt that if a student on a campus went to the center of campus, erected a cross, lit the cross on fire, put on a white sheet, and advocated for the murder of all African Americans, that that student would be expelled?

00:07:53.420 Instantly.

00:07:54.000 And arrested.

00:07:54.560 And let's be clear, well, depending on burning the cross might be arrested, but if you do it in a public square, that actually is protected free speech. 0.98

00:08:03.120 You're allowed to say it, just like the Nazis are allowed to say, we want to kill Jews. 0.99

00:08:08.040 The Klan is allowed to say, we want to kill African Americans, or Hispanics, by the way. 1.00

00:08:12.420 Let's be clear, the Klan wants to kill me too. 1.00

00:08:14.640 Like, they're evil, bigoted morons. 1.00

00:08:16.640 The First Amendment lets you say it, but there's no obligation if you say things that are horrible and hateful. 1.00

00:08:24.200 A university doesn't have to allow you to remain there.

00:08:27.380 The First Amendment says Congress shall make no law abridging, in relevant part, the freedom of speech.

00:08:35.920 That's a restriction on the government.

00:08:37.700 A university is not the government.

00:08:39.880 And so, of course, if a student began speaking as a Klansman and arguing for killing fellow students, you would expel that student.

00:08:49.960 Likewise, and by the way, in a normal world, if a racist who happened to be African American began saying we should murder white students, you should expel that student.

00:09:01.500 And in this instance, where you have students calling for murdering Jews, in my view, those who are engaged of threats of violence, a threat of violence crosses the line to criminality, they should be arrested.

00:09:16.720 Especially those who commit actual violence, they should be arrested.

00:09:21.960 Students who engage in this should be expelled.

00:09:27.460 Professors who engage in this hateful speech should be fired.

00:09:31.240 Look, we talked in a prior podcast about what appeared to be a Columbia student holding a sign.

00:09:37.900 So there were several Jewish students behind her waving Israeli flags and American flags.

00:09:43.460 And she's holding a cardboard sign that is handwritten that says Al Qassam's Next Targets with an arrow pointing to the Jewish students.

00:09:53.440 And interesting enough, this young woman appears to be a blonde young woman.

00:09:57.240 And I don't know if the Internet's right, but it's identified her as from a wealthy Georgia family.

00:10:01.740 So not Palestinian, just a young leftist who feels perfect. 1.00

00:10:06.740 And she's wrapped in a Palestinian scarf.

00:10:10.540 So her face is covered up. 0.94

00:10:11.940 But this young leftist feels perfectly fine, feels perfectly normal to advocate the murder of her fellow students because they are Jews. 1.00

00:10:23.400 And she feels certain that she'll have impunity, that Columbia will not expel her.

00:10:29.980 And why would you not expect that if you're a student?

00:10:32.440 Let's go back to right after the attack on Israel. 0.64

00:10:35.920 You and I spent a lot of time talking about, you know, Miss Gay, for example, who's the president at one unit at MIT.

00:10:42.680 You had what was a Harvard, Yale that were that were all having these protests.

00:10:46.920 And it was very clear leadership down.

00:10:50.060 Yeah.

00:10:50.600 They were anti-Israel and allowing this to play out.

00:10:53.800 The leadership supports the pro-Hamas protesters.

00:10:56.740 All right. Listen to the president of Columbia University not long after 9-11.

00:11:01.980 So it's not you'll always have individuals who will have extreme views.

00:11:05.960 But what's really troubling in the region is that there's actually quite a broad base of society which has some sympathy for the terrorists.

00:11:13.580 Not so much because they approve of their methods, but it's a form of protesting against a system which is not delivering for them on the economic or the political front.

00:11:21.960 That's two months after 9-11.

00:11:24.320 She says this two months after. Well, it's a form of protest.

00:11:27.940 So the terrorists can do this.

00:11:29.560 So let's be clear. Flying jet airplanes into the World Trade Center, flying jet airplanes into the Pentagon, murdering some 3,000 people is not a form of protest.

00:11:38.300 That is a form of mass murder. That is a form of terrorism.

00:11:41.060 That is a form of targeting civilians to murder them in many instances, to burn them horribly alive. 0.97

00:11:46.600 Not only did they die, many of them died horrible, wretched deaths.

00:11:50.860 You and I were both alive and remember the images that day as those towers that burned.

00:11:55.880 We remember the people at the top of the towers. Burning alive sounds like really a horrific death.

00:12:00.460 But there she is, is this leftist academic saying, well, it's a form of protest. 0.98

00:12:07.440 No, waving a sign and chanting in a public park is a form of protest.

00:12:14.020 Murdering 3,000 people is a horrific crime and it is terrorism and it is evil.

00:12:20.400 If there's any place where you would think a university president would not say this after 9-11, wouldn't you think it would be a university that's in New York City?

00:12:29.020 You would, except our universities now, they barely acknowledge they're American.

00:12:37.060 Our university leadership is Marxist.

00:12:40.080 Look, as you know, the last book I wrote is called Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.

00:12:45.400 The entire book explains that poison you are seeing, that poison you are seeing that they are taught.

00:12:52.880 America is bad. It is imperialist. It is oppressive. 0.70

00:12:55.940 The Marxists believe there are two groups. There are oppressors and victims.

00:13:00.380 In the Marxist world, oppressors are Jews. That's why they call them Zionists. 1.00

00:13:04.700 That's why they say the Zionists, read Jews, are lucky I'm not murdering them right now. 1.00

00:13:10.240 Why? Because they're oppressors. And once you're labeled an oppressor, you have no rights. 1.00

00:13:13.920 You should be murdered. By the way, those Marxists also consider all Americans oppressors. 0.99

00:13:21.940 So 9-11 planes going into the World Trade Center, not a problem. Oppressors deserve to die. 1.00

00:13:29.600 And so the view of those Marxist academics is if you're killing oppressors, that's a good thing. 0.99

00:13:35.340 The other group are the so-called victims.

00:13:37.240 And when it comes to the Middle East, the victims are the Palestinians in the leftist view.

00:13:42.360 And what Marxists advocate is the violent revolution of the victims against the oppressors.

00:13:48.840 So when the so-called victims are killing the oppressors, they're cheering for the murder.

00:13:54.860 The Marxist is happy for the murder. 0.58

00:13:57.660 They think it is a good thing.

00:13:59.400 And their view is the only problem is there wasn't enough murder.

00:14:04.320 What these Marxists believe, what they advocate, is the problem with October 7th is it stopped at 1,200 Jews.

00:14:12.140 Yeah.

00:14:12.420 It should have been 2,000 or 3,000 or 5,000 or 10,000.

00:14:16.120 And by the way, you look at these pro-Hamas terrorists.

00:14:18.960 That's what they're promising.

00:14:20.380 These groups chanting are saying we'll have an October 7th every day.

00:14:24.360 We're not done with murdering 1,200.

00:14:26.100 We want to do it again tomorrow.

00:14:28.080 When you look at also just how this has unfolded, there's one other thing.

00:14:32.760 There was a new standard this week by the media that I thought was shocking.

00:14:36.400 You're seeing more people come out and saying that the president of Colombia, for example, specifically should immediately resign.

00:14:42.680 Speaker Johnson went up to New York, talked about that.

00:14:45.780 Absolutely she should.

00:14:46.940 But they said you shouldn't say that.

00:14:48.360 They said that's bullying from a politician should stay out of it.

00:14:52.080 How dare you bully the universities?

00:14:54.420 That's what I was watching on TV.

00:14:55.900 Now, Grant, I was in shock when I'm watching.

00:14:57.720 I'm like, wow, there's a new standard now.

00:14:58.500 And by the way, Colombia gets millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars from the federal government, from taxpayer monies.

00:15:03.940 Why are we sending money to a university?

00:15:06.340 Your money that you pay with taxes.

00:15:08.060 Why are we sending it there to create an environment where terror and harassment and hate are normalized, are welcomed, are celebrated?

00:15:19.280 And by the way, for the some 270 Jewish students who've been advised, stay home because you can't go safely.

00:15:25.220 Let me tell you what.

00:15:26.100 Every one of them, they ought to file a class action lawsuit against Colombia and against NYU and against any of these other schools and say, look, we paid you $70,000 in tuition.

00:15:35.920 And now you're not honoring your contract.

00:15:40.320 You're not actually teaching your classes.

00:15:42.300 Colombia's canceled their classes.

00:15:43.640 They're teaching it all remotely because they won't stand up to the radicals.

00:15:48.080 And the Jewish students, there is an obligation when you pay tuition that you're going to protect my safety. 0.99

00:15:53.860 That is part of the contractual obligation.

00:15:57.000 And Colombia is on a racial matter discriminating against Jews and saying, because we Marxists view you as oppressors, we're not going to protect your safety.

00:16:07.400 You're on your own.

00:16:08.320 Sorry.

00:16:09.460 Canadian women are looking for more. 1.00

00:16:11.540 More out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them.

00:16:15.540 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk Podcast.

00:16:19.360 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:16:20.580 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:16:21.580 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.

00:16:25.600 Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.

00:16:31.360 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.

00:16:34.600 Listen to the Honest Talk Podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:16:40.500 Talk about liability for these universities.

00:16:42.660 They're admitting, while trying to have it both ways, they're saying, well, this is freedom of speech.

00:16:48.560 But you just mentioned, they're canceling graduation ceremonies.

00:16:51.700 They're canceling classes, like, for the rest of the year, for this school year.

00:16:55.340 By the way, USC canceled their graduation ceremony.

00:16:57.960 I got to say, I feel really bad.

00:17:00.840 Seniors right now at USC were seniors in high school in 2020.

00:17:04.420 Yeah. 1.00

00:17:04.620 So they had their graduation canceled in 2020 because of COVID and a bunch of idiots. 1.00

00:17:09.440 And now they're having their college graduation canceled because of rabid anti-Semitism and a bunch of idiots. 1.00

00:17:15.340 Yeah. 1.00

00:17:15.500 In fact, there was a student that mentioned this saying, I'm not going to get to graduate twice because of this.

00:17:20.340 Take a look.

00:17:21.700 So USC just canceled our graduation.

00:17:23.460 I literally, I have no words.

00:17:29.800 Like, this is so, like, it's actually comical at this point.

00:17:32.840 If you don't know, the seniors that are graduating college right now are the seniors that graduated in 2020 where we didn't have a high school graduation.

00:17:39.920 And a lot of us had, like, drive-through fake graduations or no graduation at all.

00:17:45.580 And now we are seniors about to graduate, getting ready for our first real graduation.

00:17:52.000 And it just got canceled.

00:17:55.400 I literally just, like, I just can't even, I'm in shock right now.

00:17:59.060 We, as a whole senior class, have never had a real graduation because of COVID first, which we thought was, like, a one-time thing.

00:18:07.340 Like, we're the class that got screwed over.

00:18:10.000 It is what it is. 0.90

00:18:10.900 Unlucky.

00:18:12.080 Now, USC just canceled it.

00:18:14.620 And, of course, USC, we've all worked so hard to get here.

00:18:17.140 USC, I'm sure you know, is not an easy school to get into.

00:18:20.120 And so everyone that goes here is very accomplished, like, had worked really hard to get in.

00:18:23.800 And now they just canceled our freaking graduation.

00:18:28.560 Like, what now? 0.87

00:18:29.780 What, like, what now?

00:18:30.960 They sent out an email 10 minutes ago about how they know it's disappointing, but they're canceling it.

00:18:36.380 And they're going to have other fun events, which I don't even know what that means.

00:18:41.980 I understand that, like, a lot has been going on at USC right now with, like, protests and everything.

00:18:46.680 I just feel like there could have been a different way to go about this than to cancel the entire graduation for a class that never even got a high school graduation either.

00:18:54.000 It's almost like it's lack of institutional control from the universities.

00:18:57.220 I feel bad for this student and all the students.

00:18:59.120 And they don't care about the students.

00:19:00.420 One of the problems with the Marxists is their ideology matters more than everything.

00:19:05.460 So, listen, it is a tiny fringe that are conducting these protests, these anti-Semitic displays.

00:19:12.380 But the rest of the students get screwed over, as she's saying.

00:19:15.600 Like, you know, it is not the majority of students that are out there.

00:19:20.420 But the interest of the majority of the students, the administrators, don't care because part of the view of the modern leftist is politics trumps everything.

00:19:28.400 All right.

00:19:28.620 I want you to watch another exchange from California.

00:19:31.620 This one at UCLA.

00:19:32.660 And I want to set the stage here.

00:19:35.240 You've got, presumably, a UCLA student, a young Jewish man, I assume, who is holding an Israeli flag.

00:19:42.520 And you see a UCLA professor lose it, begin screaming and losing her mind.

00:19:49.000 Watch this exchange.

00:19:50.860 I'm saying that you want to promote the people here with not a good reason.

00:19:55.300 Do I look like I'm promoting them?

00:19:56.340 Yes.

00:19:56.820 You can't hear to promote them.

00:19:58.400 That's what you're doing.

00:19:59.060 They're spreading fear.

00:20:00.300 They're not spreading fear.

00:20:01.440 They're trying to protect the innocent kids that they're being poor.

00:20:07.340 What do you have to say?

00:20:09.420 We have the freedom of speech.

00:20:13.520 You have the freedom of speech.

00:20:15.900 It's bad.

00:20:17.300 It's bad for you.

00:20:18.980 It's just reactionary.

00:20:20.600 I'm here to show Jews to you. 0.74

00:20:21.760 You should be with them.

00:20:23.180 Help them.

00:20:24.040 Exactly.

00:20:25.020 You should be with them.

00:20:26.060 As other Jewish people have been, because they recognize what kind of atrocities they're committing. 1.00

00:20:31.020 What kind of atrocities are people you have to do?

00:20:32.300 The kids are getting killed.

00:20:34.480 By Hamas terrorists. 0.99

00:20:35.760 By Hamas terrorists.

00:20:37.300 By Yajan-Yah who invited.

00:20:39.560 Jeez.

00:20:41.100 You're inciting, that's a professor telling a student, that he's inciting people by holding up an Israeli flag.

00:20:48.140 And that's the woman who's teaching her kids. 1.00

00:20:50.600 She's a professor.

00:20:51.460 she could present present present no argument later on in that exchange he asked her because

00:20:56.620 she starts screaming about genocide he asked her what is genocide she can't say what are the facts

00:21:03.280 of genocide genocide is is murdering an entire people eliminating an entire people he points

00:21:08.360 out the palestinian population is growing it's not like if it were genocide you would see the

00:21:13.520 population you know who committed genocide the nazis when they murdered six million jews that's

00:21:18.800 what genocide is is exterminating a people by no stretch of the imagination is israel committing 0.93

00:21:25.680 genocide what they are doing is killing hamas terrorists now in the process of killing hamas 0.98

00:21:30.920 terrorists there are some civilian deaths why are there civilian deaths because hamas wants

00:21:36.540 palestinian civilians to die why is that because they use them as human shields human shields are 0.94

00:21:42.700 a war crime hamas deliberately embeds itself surrounded by palestinian civilians they based

00:21:48.560 their military headquarters in the basement of a hospital why because if the israelis bombed their

00:21:54.700 headquarters the result would be you bombed a hospital and you would have literally dead 0.51

00:21:59.380 palestinian mothers and dead palestinian infants and it makes the israelis look like the monsters 1.00

00:22:04.720 understand it's the hamas terrorists and by the way israel didn't bomb the hospital they they they

00:22:09.440 ended up saying which actually hamas knew they would that the human shields would work they would 0.96

00:22:14.500 not be willing to bomb bomb the hamas headquarters because of the innocent civilians hamas stores 1.00

00:22:20.980 missiles in the basements of kindergartens they use palestinian children deliberately as human shields 0.82

00:22:29.740 by the way i've authored number one a resolution unanimously passed through the senate condemning the

00:22:34.700 use of human shields as a war crime hamas does that every day and number two imposing sanctions

00:22:41.560 on anyone who uses human shields but you know who hadn't imposed the sanctions

00:22:46.000 who's that joe biden the law i authored mandates sanctions if you use human shields but the biden

00:22:53.360 administration sides with hamas so they are sanctioning israelis joe biden's reaction to this

00:22:59.180 war to october 7th is to sanction jews in israel and not to go after hamas in fact to give money to

00:23:07.360 hamas to give money to iran that's their approach and you look at that professor a professor is

00:23:13.760 supposed to be someone who can teach you yeah professor's supposed to be someone who starts from

00:23:17.820 knowledge you look at her discussion she doesn't know anything about israel she doesn't know anything

00:23:21.660 about the palestinians she just screams israel bad and you shouldn't be here inciting people

00:23:28.620 because you're jewish being jewish is incitement how dare you have an israeli flag and he's saying

00:23:34.860 look i'm showing jews need not be afraid and and listen presumably between a professor and a student

00:23:41.420 one would think the professor would be more mature they're older they're they're the teacher you expect 0.95

00:23:46.600 the teacher to be able to teach that crazy lady is not able to teach anything she she is absolutely 1.00

00:23:53.560 losing her mind just screaming with rage and it's ignorant rage she doesn't know any facts 1.00

00:24:00.480 she has just been taught to hate you know what that crazy lady agrees with the organizer at columbia 1.00

00:24:07.680 that zionists don't deserve to live yeah that that is that bigotry is part of the faculty of ucla 0.93

00:24:15.880 yeah great point and i want to get into the money behind this in a moment but first let me tell you

00:24:20.360 about our friends over at patriot mobile if you have a cell phone probably about 99 of you do you may

00:24:26.040 not realize when you pay your bill every single month you're supporting hardcore liberal causes

00:24:32.040 including planned parenthood that's right big mobile gives big donations to hardcore leftist causes

00:24:38.480 organizations candidates and also planned parenthood that's why i switched to patriot mobile and i want

00:24:46.120 you to switch because now in 2024 with technology switching your cell phone is so easy in the past

00:24:52.380 people didn't switch because it took so much time in the store you don't even have to go to a store

00:24:57.720 when you switch with patriot mobile it is done over the phone it takes minutes to do and you keep your

00:25:03.160 same cell phone number you keep your same cell phone you have right now in your hand or you could

00:25:08.360 upgrade to a new one but this is the best part when i pay my bill to patriot mobile they take about

00:25:13.700 five percent of my bill every single month and they give it back to conservative causes

00:25:18.100 organizations that support our first and second amendment rights they also give money to groups

00:25:25.000 that fight for the right of the lives of unborn children i love knowing i'm supporting that every

00:25:30.820 time i pay my bill and the other great thing about patriot mobile is this they support our veterans they

00:25:36.620 support our wounded warriors and they support our men and women in local law enforcement so if you want

00:25:43.980 to make a difference with every call with every text with every bill you pay make the switch to

00:25:48.960 patriot mobile go to patriot mobile.com slash verdict that's patriot mobile.com slash verdict or call them

00:25:55.300 at 972 patriot that's 972 patriot and use the promo code verdict you're going to get free activation as

00:26:02.980 well patriot mobile.com slash verdict or 972 patriot center there is money that we now know that is behind a lot

00:26:12.160 of these protests there is a lot of similarities uh the tents match at many of these college campuses

00:26:18.700 which is hysterical the chance and it shows they're not even hiding it yeah they're not i mean this this

00:26:24.400 is organized this is deliberate uh and and and there's real money behind it and and and if you look

00:26:31.040 at it in many instances so so copycat tents have been seen at harvard at yale at berkeley at ohio state at

00:26:39.380 emory uh and they're organized by brand organized by branches of the students for justice in palestine

00:26:48.440 sjp funded by george soros now how much does that mean well at three colleges the protesters are being

00:26:58.500 encouraged by paid radicals and we now actually can follow the money we have some specificity

00:27:03.520 those paid radicals are called quote fellows of a soros funded group called the u.s campaign for

00:27:10.240 palestinian rights uscpr now uscpr pays up to seven thousand eight hundred dollars for its community

00:27:19.640 based fellows and between two thousand eight hundred eighty dollars and three thousand six hundred and

00:27:25.220 sixty dollars for its campus based fellows in return for spending eight hours a week can can we

00:27:33.740 just pause organizing campaigns led by palestinian organizations i want to make sure people understand

00:27:39.020 this is not a little bit of money this is big money eight hours a week not 40 hours in the week

00:27:43.300 when you can make three thousand six hundred sixty dollars for spending eight hours a week that's one

00:27:47.940 day of work and by the way seventy eight hundred that's eight thousand dollars for eight hours a

00:27:52.380 week yeah that's a thousand bucks an hour that's like bribery to students almost that's big money

00:27:58.460 look that's real money and there's a reason why these folks are showing up showing up and and and we

00:28:05.100 know that the radical groups received at least three hundred thousand dollars from soros's open society

00:28:11.300 foundation since 2017 and it also took in 355 000 from the rockefeller brothers fund since 2019 let me

00:28:19.060 stop and say something the rockefeller brothers fund let me ask you is there anybody around the

00:28:26.700 rockefeller brothers fund who's not an anti-semite who's not a bigot who's not an anti-american vicious

00:28:33.400 marxist if there is get them to stop it let me ask you who funds the rockefeller brothers funds i'm

00:28:41.820 assuming the rockefeller brothers i don't know but are there any donors that care is there any employee

00:28:46.800 there that's not an anti-semite if you work at the rockefeller brothers fund unless you've been fitted

00:28:52.320 for your brown shirt recently you ought to resign because you're funding these attacks you're funding

00:28:59.520 these threats you know what if you work at soros's open society you're responsible for jewish students

00:29:05.820 being terrified to go to campus because their lives are being threatened is there anybody that holds

00:29:12.760 them accountable these people ought to be pariahs these people ought to be treated just as if they're wearing 0.56

00:29:19.560 kkk robes because they are functionally they're funding it and you know what these same leftists

00:29:27.940 they're going to the opera they're going out in in high society in new york and they're being

00:29:34.140 welcomed this is disgusting and they ought to be embarrassed because they're paying to destroy our

00:29:42.800 colleges to destroy our young people to destroy america look i actually have a friend of mine who's 0.70

00:29:49.260 a very very successful tech entrepreneur and and i was asking him what is the deal with george

00:29:57.920 soros i've never met the guy i don't know the guy i don't understand his motivations what is behind

00:30:03.840 the billions of dollars he's spending to destroy america yeah and and this friend of mine who does

00:30:12.220 know soros his analogy he said he said soros is like magneto from the x-men movies yeah and if you look

00:30:21.380 at magneto magneto is twisted by hate and he hates humanity i don't know if this is true or not but it's

00:30:29.300 an interesting theory and i can't speak to his motivations i don't know what they are

00:30:36.820 but i can speak to the results of his motivations to what he is in fact doing and he is spending

00:30:45.000 billions of dollars funding people funding left-wing da's who let murderers go let rapists go and the

00:30:51.820 result is more murders and more rapes now as far as i can tell you only do that if you want to see 0.96

00:30:58.140 more americans murdered and more americans raped you want chaos you want chaos you want suffering 0.94

00:31:03.320 you know what i understand that from i look at a movie like batman that sounds like something the 0.81

00:31:07.720 joker wants i i mean it is it's why the magneto analogy is not bad it it is like a comic book

00:31:14.300 villain normal people don't have a rational argument what we need to do is let more murderers go

00:31:21.500 even though we know it will result in more innocent people being murdered we should do that anyway that

00:31:27.080 is not a normal argument that is an argument that is driven from extreme ideology and and i think in

00:31:33.340 all likelihood is driven by hate and that is precisely who is funding what's happening on these

00:31:40.140 campuses right now let's let's go back and look at the hierarchy of this and just to put it in

00:31:45.520 perspective in the hours after the attack on israel you had to call out the united states government

00:31:51.740 yeah the biden administration repeatedly and and i want you to go through that quickly in a second

00:31:57.160 but you had to call them out for basically holding israel to a standard they're not holding

00:32:03.600 hamas to which is if israel responds and protects itself and anyone dies that they're somehow evil

00:32:09.040 you then have a white house that's doubled down on that you then have people like alam or mar and

00:32:14.520 others in the senate and the democratic party that have done the same exact thing you then have that

00:32:19.220 trickle down to the presidents of these universities and we saw them go before congress and and none of

00:32:26.440 them by the way got fired some of them aren't presidents anymore but they still got their six

00:32:29.940 figure salaries they're still indoctrinated kids on campus none of them didn't lost their access

00:32:34.200 to the university which they've taken away from even some jewish professors this week so then that

00:32:39.660 trickles down into the base professors which we just played a moment ago which then trickles down

00:32:44.080 in the students that can hate jews and then it trickles down into the outside non-students who are

00:32:49.040 the protesters that are there and yet you could fix all of this the way that we've seen in texas this week

00:32:54.400 the way we've seen it in florida this week where these protesters come out in those universities in 0.96

00:32:58.840 those states they said we're not putting up with this crap so this is all being done and organized 0.96

00:33:03.240 and allowed by the universities by law enforcement by democrats who are locally elected and they could 0.98

00:33:09.840 stop it all in a matter of days but they're saying no no let's keep going and let's keep this growing

00:33:14.780 look that's true but i will say it's not even a question of of of trickling down it's really trickling up

00:33:22.880 this started in the universities this poison as you know the first chapter of my book on woke

00:33:29.960 it is colleges and universities the wuhan lab of the woke virus can i say something about your book

00:33:36.840 real quick i when you wrote your book we didn't know any of this was going to happen i i will tell

00:33:43.080 everyone watching listening i go buy it i've read it and now there's so much that you wrote about that's

00:33:50.340 happening in real time if you didn't get it get it because you did you spent an entire book and i

00:33:56.560 think you saw this is coming down the pipeline it explains exactly what's happening and so many people

00:34:02.260 are confused but i want to read something that was tweeted by carol markowitz now now carol markowitz

00:34:07.100 is a columnist at the new york post and she said something online that i think was really quite

00:34:12.520 powerful she said quote a lot of jewish friends especially those who are finally awake after

00:34:19.060 october 7th say things like quote how is this america or quote it's so scary that this jew hatred is

00:34:29.180 happening everywhere but it's very much not america and it's absolutely not happening everywhere

00:34:41.660 in south florida jews wear the dinner plate megan david's and no one says one word in rural

00:34:51.640 michigan churches put pray for israel on the signs outside i'm not naive obviously jew haters can and do

00:35:00.000 live anywhere but they're only thriving open proud in blue areas and i'm not going to let people

00:35:10.940 ignore that a lot of liberal jews are trying to parse things right now they imagine that they are

00:35:17.720 still of the left but just on this one tiny little thing their right to exist they disagree

00:35:25.220 no my friends it's a house of cards and you're pulling the one from the very bottom

00:35:32.780 the whole left ideology is corrupt and you're going to have to face it you can't spread the blame

00:35:42.160 around the hatred the rage the violence the dehumanization is all coming from one side yours

00:35:50.140 a second example is an op-ed that was written in jns it was written by jonathan burnitsky it's

00:35:56.580 entitled jewish democrats wake up and it says at the outset quote the anti-semitic right is a fringe

00:36:04.240 phenomenon while the anti-semitic left is mainstream powerful and shaping america's future

00:36:09.560 and and i'm just going to read the beginning of this because it's really quite powerful quote

00:36:13.940 this is addressed to you my fellow jews since most of you are democrats you've heard from liberal

00:36:20.360 colleagues that tucker carlson whose show you've never watched has been flirting with anti-semites

00:36:27.360 you've been told by liberal friends that candace owens whose show you've never watched 0.95

00:36:33.120 has been picking fights with ben shapiro whose show you've never watched

00:36:38.140 from cnn and msnbc you know that a pack of guys with citronella tiki torches

00:36:45.900 march through charlottesville while shouting the jews will not replace us

00:36:50.100 and that's why you've convinced yourself that there are far more anti-semites

00:36:55.920 on the right than there are on the left i wish to pose several questions

00:37:01.620 how many of the thousands of individuals who gathered in times square on october 8th 2023

00:37:07.540 and chanted resistance is justified and glory to our martyrs are registered republican voters and

00:37:15.260 plan to cast their ballots for donald trump how many of the individuals who barricaded jewish

00:37:21.660 students inside cooper union's library on october 25th 2023 pounded on the doors and carried signs

00:37:28.660 that read zionism hands off our universities are registered republicans and plan to cast their

00:37:36.260 ballots for for donald trump how many of the thousands of individuals who rallied in manhattan

00:37:41.540 on december 25th 2023 and carried banners emblazoned with the words quote by any means

00:37:48.220 necessary and quote resistance until return are registered republicans and plan to cast their

00:37:55.180 ballots for donald trump how many of the thousands on thousands of individuals who assembled at

00:38:01.500 columbia university on february 2nd and shouted globalize the intifada and death to the zionist state 0.98

00:38:08.500 are registered republican voters and plan to cast ballots for donald trump how many of the

00:38:14.980 individuals who amassed in dearborn michigan on april 5th and yelled death to america and death

00:38:20.900 to israel are registered republicans and plan to cast their ballots for donald trump how many of the

00:38:27.980 thousands of individuals who blocked traffic on the golden gate bridge and other cities on april 15th

00:38:33.620 carried the flag of hezbollah are registered republicans and plan to cast their ballots for donald trump

00:38:40.000 how many of the hundreds of thousands of individuals who have participated in the thousands of anti-zionist

00:38:48.600 and pro-hammas protests across the country since october 7th are registered republicans and plan to cast

00:38:55.880 their ballots for donald trump and then he answers it he said the answer to every question posed above is

00:39:02.660 close to zero if not none he goes on yet we've been told by reporters and commentators at august

00:39:12.240 publications and news networks leaders of esteemed non-profits academics at prestigious colleges and

00:39:18.720 universities and career civil servants at major three-letter federal government agencies

00:39:23.980 that anti-semitism is solely a problem of the right yes fringe right-wing anti-semites are a problem

00:39:32.460 they should be considered a threat but they are on the fringe and because these fringe elements

00:39:40.500 continue to be the near exclusive target of the left's so-called quote quote fight against anti-semitism

00:39:48.660 it's more apparent than ever that our elites are purposely engaged in a partisan game this next paragraph 0.90

00:39:58.080 is the most important paragraph in the op-ed right-wing anti-semites are kooks and grifters

00:40:07.060 left-wing anti-semites are college professors newspaper editors hollywood stars a growing number of
