Transcript
00:00:05.260
Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:08.880
We have a packed list for you, including the shocking testimony coming out of Georgia with
00:00:14.760
Fannie Willis, plus Hamas just happened to have a tunnel that was under a building where
0.73
00:00:22.800
We're going to get into that, plus really important information that deals with the
00:00:27.500
We're going to have all that for you in the show.
00:00:29.280
But Senator, let's first start with this trial that was against Donald Trump in Georgia,
00:00:36.900
a prosecutor that got a special prosecutor hire that she was hooking up with, traveling with,
00:00:44.280
and paying tens of thousands of dollars in cash, and then hundreds of thousands of dollars
00:00:50.140
in legal fees, where apparently she lied to the court about this relationship, and MSNBC
0.91
00:00:56.600
is even saying this is a very bad day for this legal attack on Donald Trump in Georgia.
00:01:02.020
Well, as we know, there are four pending prosecutions against Donald Trump, and the effort of the
00:01:07.120
Democrats to try to destroy Donald Trump, and in particular to try to prevent the voters
00:01:12.040
from being able to vote for him and elect him, is massive.
00:01:15.620
One of the most problematic cases, all of them are messed up, but you look at the Georgia
0.53
00:01:20.940
case, the Georgia case is an absolute disaster.
00:01:23.980
And I will tell you, if you are a wild-eyed left-wing partisan that wants to see Donald Trump
00:01:29.400
prosecuted, this week was a very, very bad week for you.
00:01:34.400
Because Fannie Willis, the Fulton County DA, testified, and it turns out the lead prosecutor
00:01:42.320
that she hired was a man she was sleeping with, a man she was having an affair with,
00:01:48.100
a man she was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money, including tens
00:01:54.220
of thousands of dollars in cash under the table, and she lied to the court about it.
0.98
00:02:00.260
I mean, it is as bad a train wreck as you've ever seen.
00:02:03.620
And by the way, if you don't believe me, listen to what MSNBC had to say about this week.
00:02:15.860
If things are going in the direction we think Fannie Willis lied to the court, it's game over
00:02:22.660
She will be disqualified if they had a relationship prior to when they represented to the court.
00:02:32.660
Lying to the court, Senator, can you explain how big of a deal that is, especially if you're
00:02:39.260
And on top of that, you've hired the special prosecutor who you're funneling taxpayer dollars
00:02:46.180
This is corruption at, like, Biden crime family level.
00:02:52.360
She was caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
00:02:58.100
It makes clear that this was a partisan hit job from day one.
00:03:03.100
But here, listen to her testimony at the trial.
00:03:07.080
It's interesting that we're here about this money.
00:03:10.120
Mr. Wade is used to women that, as he told me one time, the only thing a woman can do
00:03:17.400
We would have brutal arguments about the fact that I am your equal.
00:03:26.700
And so there was tension always in our relationship, which is why I would give him his money back.
00:03:36.840
The only man who's ever foot my bills completely is my daddy.
00:03:40.920
I mean, Senator, that's a new excuse I've never heard for funneling money to your boyfriend,
00:03:54.180
District attorneys do not pay prosecutors and lawyers that they have hired on the taxpayer dime
00:04:09.680
Much less cash that time, probably $400 or $500.
00:04:15.660
I think we did two different wine tours that you do, which are pretty expensive.
00:04:25.420
I don't really like wine, to be honest with you.
00:04:29.340
I bought him a bottle of wine while we were there.
00:04:36.920
I remember we went to this place that they do pairings.
00:04:43.040
That was the most expensive thing that I think that we did while we were there.
00:04:46.160
So they would pair champagne, chocolate, and caviar.
00:05:01.020
But that was the most expensive thing we did that trip.
00:05:10.200
By the way, Senator, at least we now have some real Russian collusion.
00:05:14.820
She likes herself some vodka from Russia, right?
00:05:19.480
She likes a Grey Goose, champagne, chocolate, and caviar.
00:05:23.960
And look, to pay cash, I mean, to be honest, Ben, when is the last time you paid cash at anything more than a McDonald's?
00:05:36.480
And we're talking from what they were saying at trial today, not speculation.
00:05:40.480
This is tens of thousands of dollars in cash that she's paying this guy.
00:05:44.580
And to be honest, this is you referenced the Biden crime family.
00:05:49.120
This is reminiscent of when you make massive payments to multiple bank accounts, you're doing it to hide what is happening.
00:05:57.120
Nobody pays thousands and thousands of dollars in cash unless you want people not to know.
00:06:02.460
And I've got to say, listen to her boyfriend's testimony because it, if anything, is even more shocking.
00:06:10.960
And this, by the way, her boyfriend that we're talking about here, this is the special prosecutor.
00:06:17.880
That is billed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.
00:06:30.260
These credit card statements and who paid for what.
00:06:47.080
Did you take a trip with Ms. Willis in 2023 to Belize?
00:06:51.200
Did you take a trip to California with Ms. Willis in 2023?
00:06:55.920
Did you pay for those trips on that credit card?
00:07:01.360
I used the credit card to book the travel, but understand.
00:07:10.060
Let's take the Belize trip, for example, since you started there.
00:07:13.160
That was a birthday gift to me, so I paid nothing for that trip.
00:07:21.200
So the charges that are on your card, she gave you cash for?
00:07:29.560
The witness has finished answering the question.
00:07:32.780
Um, I wanted to get into the charges on the card because, so traveling with her is a task.
00:07:46.200
You can probably imagine the attention that happens.
00:07:50.660
So for safety reasons, she would limit her transactions.
00:07:59.400
Um, I mean, imagine trying to walk through an airport or sit at a restaurant or do anything.
00:08:07.980
Um, so there was no, there's no attempt to conceal.
00:08:20.240
Um, what I asked was the charges for Belize in March, 2023 on that credit card.
00:08:26.100
Those are things you purchased to go with Ms. Willis to Belize.
00:08:31.000
Those are things that we booked with my card that she paid.
00:08:38.420
And you're saying that she paid you cash to reimburse you for all of that.
00:08:44.120
And she paid you cash for both of your portions or just hers?
00:08:50.540
So that trip, Belize, just Belize, she paid you for everything on Belize?
00:08:55.780
So the food, tattoo parlor, all that stuff, she paid for.
00:09:05.160
There was no, there was no tattoo parlor in Belize.
00:09:08.400
The charges, there's a, there's a tattoo parlor on the charges.
00:09:13.580
I'm just asking if everything that's on that card related to Belize, she paid you back for?
00:09:20.100
By the way, Senator, just the conversation in general is hysterical, but also the fact that
00:09:37.440
And by the way, one of those trips was my birthday.
00:09:50.260
Have you ever taken a trip where you like reimburse someone tens of thousands of dollars in cash?
00:09:57.440
I mean, just, just imagine what kind of like, this is not normal behavior.
00:10:01.700
This is the behavior of people who are concealing transactions they don't want to have to happen.
00:10:08.020
And by the way, it's pretty nice that he charges everything to, to his credit card, including the tattoo parlor.
00:10:16.160
But he denies, but apparently it's on his credit card.
00:10:19.000
So I don't know if they both got tattooed on their rear ends.
0.96
00:10:27.380
But, but, but, but even the, the, the, the like little charges, he's like, no, no, no.
00:10:46.160
It's incredible to, to the seriousness of this for a moment.
00:10:51.200
What we played for you, but how big of a victory is this number one for Donald Trump?
00:10:55.980
And if she has taken off the case, which means he will be taken off the case.
00:10:59.660
What does that do moving forward for this case with, with the deals with Donald Trump?
00:11:03.800
And they're going after again, Rico charges, which are serious against him.
00:11:10.080
Look, it, it's not clear, but, but the prosecution is in shambles.
00:11:14.660
The prosecutor is at this point revealed to, to have likely lied to the court, to be corrupt,
00:11:22.840
to be funneling money, to be paying taxpayer money to her lover and profiting off that money.
00:11:31.760
And, and that means the case is, is look, as the MSNBC analyst said, it's game over.
00:11:38.100
Look, could they try to revive it with some other prosecutor?
00:11:43.040
But this was always, I think, a rabid partisan Democrat who hated Donald Trump, who wanted
00:11:51.640
And, and I got to say, you know, listening to the story of his saying it's hard to travel
00:11:57.480
I'm kind of skeptical that walking through a, an airport, anyone has any idea who Fannie
00:12:01.860
Willis is, but if that's his theory, he's like, we had to hide it because everyone knew,
00:12:09.240
Listen, I think that was the objective of bringing this case and, and maybe it worked.
00:12:14.960
And by the way, if you think that this means that this is the, you know, a one and done
00:12:18.900
and Donald Trump's going to get to move back to the campaign, you're wrong.
00:12:25.740
This is that criminal case there will start March the 25th.
00:12:33.220
Is this the reason why Democrats basically went around the country and started throwing
00:12:37.700
jello at a wall and seeing if they get any of it to stick?
00:12:41.180
And they're doing all of these cases so that if this one falls, Hey, we, we start another
00:12:46.320
And if that one falls, we'll start another one in May or June.
00:12:54.180
I don't think there's one grand poobah in a smoke-filled room saying you bring this case,
00:13:00.960
And part of the reason is if, if you were trying to do a grand conspiracy, no one would
00:13:14.840
Is it political opportunists that are just saying, I got to make a name for myself and
00:13:20.100
There's a concept in antitrust law called conscious parallelism, which is, it's a bunch
00:13:26.980
of rabid partisan Democrats, all of whom hate Donald Trump.
00:13:31.320
And they're all racing to, I'm going to get him.
00:13:35.160
So whether it is Fannie Willis, whether it's Alvin Bragg, whether it's Jack Smith, whether
00:13:39.780
it is Letitia James, they're all like, I'm an ambitious Democrat and I hate the person
0.69
00:13:47.700
So let's go abuse the justice system to go after him.
00:13:51.120
Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their
1.00
00:13:57.440
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:14:00.760
I want to move to another really important big story.
00:14:12.800
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:14:16.320
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:14:20.400
I want to move to another really important big story.
00:14:25.080
And this is one that has not been reported on by the media at all.
00:14:29.640
And it deals with a Hamas command tunnel under the United Nations Gaza headquarters.
00:14:39.100
It seems unbelievable, but it also backs up with reality of what we saw in Gaza with the
0.99
00:14:48.520
Associated Press and Reuters and others who had their offices in the same offices where
00:14:54.780
Hamas had apparently intel centers and command centers.
0.53
00:14:59.120
And now we find out that Hamas had a command tunnel under a UN Gaza headquarters.
00:15:04.540
How did the United Nations not know about this, Senator?
00:15:07.440
Well, listen, the organization is something that's called UNRWA, and UNRWA stands for the
00:15:17.220
And it is a part of the United Nations that is focused on giving aid to the Palestinians.
00:15:28.240
UNRWA has always had massive corruption, massive aid to Hamas.
00:15:34.760
And so last month, the news broke that a dozen staff of UNRWA, a dozen people working for the
00:15:42.700
UN, took part in the October 7th massacre by Hamas.
00:15:49.180
They were actively terrorists engaging in the October 7th attack, which killed over 1,200
00:16:01.300
The United Nations is employing and paying terrorists.
00:16:06.000
But then the news broke just a few days ago that not only was the UN employing terrorists,
00:16:13.420
but beneath the headquarters of UNRWA was a subterranean data center.
00:16:21.140
It had an electrical room, it had industrial battery power banks, and it had living quarters
00:16:28.660
for Hamas terrorists who were operating the computer servers.
00:16:33.040
And it was built directly under the location of the headquarters of UNRWA.
00:16:42.080
And it totally reveals UNRWA as a facilitating entity for terrorism.
00:16:52.160
If UNRWA is getting funds from the United Nations, and we're the biggest donor to the United Nations,
00:17:00.480
we're giving money and it's being funneled to those that are helping carry out terrorist
00:17:06.060
attacks as well as protecting terrorists and the planning and the rockets that are being
00:17:11.920
shot into Israel for years now while they've been in the same building.
00:17:19.300
As the Times of Israel reported, UNRWA's Gaza headquarters is located in Gaza City's upscale
00:17:26.660
Ramal neighborhood, an area that the Israeli, the IDF, had previously operated in and dismantled
00:17:34.500
the local Hamas battalion and withdrawn its troops from.
00:17:38.000
And here's a quote from Colonel Benny Aharon from the IDF, who says, quote,
00:17:51.360
But when we were here the last time, we collected a lot of intelligence documents and findings,
00:17:59.720
Now we carried out a targeted operation to take this capability away.
00:18:06.940
We had a basis of information, but not enough to be able to dig down 20 meters to find it.
00:18:17.700
There's information we get from prisoners we capture, from computers we find, from documents,
00:18:23.760
maps, and they went down and discovered this terror tunnel.
00:18:31.420
Hazan, who is tasked with coordinating the brigade's underground operation, said the main
00:18:37.060
entrance to the tunnel was located under an UNRWA school in the area.
00:18:44.160
And this, look, the UN, you want to talk about, number one, the UN has always been just a pit
00:18:54.700
But they have funneled billions of dollars to UNRWA, which in turn is supporting terrorists
00:19:03.360
and supporting Hamas and employing people who participated in the October 7th terror attack.
00:19:17.180
Are there anyone in his administration or the UN ambassador asking questions?
00:19:21.520
saying, what the hell is going on at the United Nations Relief and Work Agency that's been
00:19:25.840
knowingly, as you described it, providing support to Hamas terrorists who committed these atrocities
00:19:31.200
against over a thousand Israelis and dozens of Americans as well, which I think has been
00:19:39.300
So, sadly, the Biden administration from day one has been funneling money into Gaza.
00:19:44.060
Look, early on in the Biden administration, I led a group of 17 senators saying, do not
00:19:50.920
give money to Gaza, because if you give money to Gaza, that will flow directly to Hamas and
00:19:59.020
At the time I sent that letter, there were 150 House Democrats who sent a letter to the administration
00:20:05.740
saying, please do give money to Gaza, even though it will likely be used by Hamas for terrorism.
00:20:13.460
We now know, because it's been publicly reported, how the Biden administration resolved that issue.
00:20:19.180
The Biden administration concluded that it was, quote, highly likely, those are their terms,
00:20:24.940
highly likely that money given to Gaza would be used by Hamas for terrorism.
00:20:30.180
Now, ordinarily, Ben, under U.S. anti-terrorism law, if it's highly likely the money will be used
00:20:40.200
Well, what the Biden administration did instead is they formally waived U.S. anti-terrorism law
00:20:46.880
because their political ideology, they so wanted to send the money, they didn't care if it would
00:20:55.800
So in a very real sense, Joe Biden and the Democrats funded Hamas and the October 7th terror attack.
00:21:04.100
Which goes back to the bigger question in the aid.
00:21:09.700
We say, hey, we're going to send some to Israel, but we're also wanting to send aid to Gaza.
00:21:16.020
How do we not how do we assure that that money is not going to go directly in the hands of the terrorists?
00:21:21.280
We can't. And it is truly asinine in the wake of this horrific terror attack.
0.95
00:21:27.320
What did Joe Biden and the Democrats want to do?
0.92
00:21:29.440
Let's send more money to Gaza. Let's send more money to Gaza.
0.99
00:21:32.220
And my view is stop sending money to people who want to kill us.
00:21:36.740
If you cannot assure that the money doesn't go to terrorists who want to murder Americans,
00:21:44.460
And by the way, this past week, I led a group of senators urging the Justice Department to open a
00:21:51.340
criminal investigation into a U.S.-based nonprofit that raises money for UNRWA.
00:21:58.920
And it's a group called UNRWA USA, which is a nonprofit with the self-described mission to support the,
00:22:07.460
quote, work of UNRWA through fundraising, education and advocacy in the United States.
00:22:14.240
And as I pointed out, here's what I wrote in the letter with several other senators.
00:22:19.260
Quote, we write to call on you to open a criminal investigation into UNRWA USA,
00:22:23.980
its principles and its leadership for knowingly providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations,
00:22:32.880
This support facilitated and continues to facilitate terrorism,
00:22:38.260
including the October 7th terrorist attack in which Palestinian terrorists killed or kidnapped
00:22:54.340
UNRWA USA dispersed nearly $5 million in donations to UNRWA that year.
00:23:00.720
making the organization UNRWA's largest institutional donor.
00:23:06.760
I mean, you hear that and is an American taxpayer.
00:23:12.360
It makes me angry to know that basically I'm funding the terrorists that took out these attacks,
00:23:20.840
not just on the people in Israel, but we still have not, I think,
00:23:25.640
gotten a full accounting from this administration on Americans that were killed.
00:23:33.560
And the Biden administration, we've talked about before, when it comes to foreign policy,
00:23:43.040
They set aside the interest of protecting our allies.
00:23:46.020
And they especially set aside the interest of protecting American citizens.
00:23:52.260
I want to tell you about one way that you can help in Israel right now.
00:23:56.760
We all know about the atrocities that were committed by Hamas last October the 7th,
00:24:03.700
And Israel is having to defend itself from these terrorists on every side.
00:24:07.760
The toll on the Israeli people is staggering, and it's massive.
00:24:12.320
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis have been forced from their homes.
00:24:20.840
That is where the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is helping.
00:24:25.940
They're right there in the middle of it all every single day.
00:24:29.700
They're distributing critical essentials like food, medicine, and emergency supplies
00:24:35.140
for hundreds of thousands of suffering Jews as we speak.
00:24:41.700
And that's why I want you to know that we are partnering with the IFCJ right now.
00:24:47.120
I want you to visit and I want you to support IFCJ.org to help.
00:24:52.120
And every donation is urgently needed to help the people of Israel.
00:24:55.920
To give to the International Fellowship of Christian and Jews,
00:25:08.640
Your gift will be matched to double in impact and help provide twice the support.
00:25:14.280
Again, if you want to get involved and help the people in need in Israel with basic necessities,
00:25:28.140
And they say thank you and God bless you for all of you that can get involved
00:25:32.620
and help the people that are suffering the most in Israel right now.
00:25:36.720
Senator, I want to ask you another question about just the response from this administration.
00:25:43.280
When this type of news comes out, there seems to be a no response or a very timid response.
00:25:51.760
And I worry that's because they've known that there's been this level of corruption for quite some time.
00:25:56.880
They're just now being faced with it in the government.
00:25:59.820
When did they know about the corruption with UNRWA?
00:26:04.760
And when did the warning signs start hitting them?
00:26:07.800
Was it before this attack or can they play done?
00:26:11.520
Now, we've known about it a long time and I will say it's bad day.
00:26:14.960
When I questioned the Biden administration, when I questioned the State Department and I pressed them,
00:26:19.780
why do you keep giving hundreds of millions of dollars to Gaza?
00:26:28.820
And by the way, if people don't believe you when you say that,
00:26:31.400
just the tunnel system that we've seen since the Israelis have gone in is more than enough proof.
1.00
00:26:43.640
So part of the leftist rhetoric, they say Gaza is the largest open air prison on earth.
00:26:57.280
So the Gaza Strip is a portion of what used to be Israel.
00:27:07.800
Israel left and said, all right, there's a massive population of Palestinians.
00:27:14.840
And the people of the Gaza Strip elected Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.
0.99
00:27:23.180
It pledges the destruction of Israel and the death of Jews.
0.99
00:27:30.120
That's who the people of the Gaza Strip elected.
00:27:32.580
Now, understand, over the past decades, billions of dollars have flowed into the Gaza Strip in terms of relief, both from the United States, from Europe, from international agencies, from UNRWA.
00:27:46.080
And that money, instead of actually helping the Gaza Strip, helping the Palestinians, instead of building schools and hospitals, instead of building roads, they take massive amounts of that money and they turn it directly to terrorism.
0.64
00:28:01.360
So, for example, and I've been to Israel many times, and when you talk with the Israeli forces, they explain money that goes into Gaza, say, to build water pipes, to bring fresh water to people who need it.
00:28:14.540
They take the water pipes, they cut it into six-feet segments, and they use those water pipes, they turn them into rockets, and they fill them with propellant and explosive and shrapnel ball bearings and metal that they can then fire into Israel.
0.91
00:28:30.100
And so the result is, the people of Gaza, the Palestinians, get denied relief they desperately need.
00:28:39.420
Why? Because Hamas, who controls it, would rather kill Jews than help Palestinians.
00:28:47.380
And every time I ask the Biden administration, okay, how do you make sure the money going into Gaza doesn't go to terrorism, their response, you know what they say?
00:29:02.440
And it has been evident for a long time that UNRWA and Hamas are utterly intertwined.
00:29:09.020
A dozen UNRWA employees were actual terrorists on October 7th, and yet the Biden administration's position is, we love UNRWA.
00:29:20.520
Is there a way to actually stop the funds going into Gaza, going into UNRWA?
00:29:29.480
The reason this money has gone is because Joe Biden places a higher priority on his political ideology than he does on keeping Americans safe or keeping Israelis safe and our allies safe.
00:29:43.560
And the result is the world's a lot more dangerous.
