Verdict with Ted Cruz - Georgia Case Against Trump IMPLODES, plus Hamas Terror Tunnels UNDER UN Agency Headquarters

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.

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

00:00:20.840 the UN had offices.

00:00:22.800 We're going to get into that, plus really important information that deals with the

00:00:26.600 issue of UNRWA.

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.

00:02:10.800 Right.

00:02:11.360 Don't let the legalese fool you.

00:02:13.100 This is epic.

00:02:14.220 This is monumental.

00:02:15.860 If things are going in the direction we think Fannie Willis lied to the court, it's game over

00:02:21.640 for her.

00:02:22.660 She will be disqualified if they had a relationship prior to when they represented to the court.

00:02:28.820 It's a huge deal.

00:02:30.080 Like, I can't overstate it.

00:02:31.540 I can't overstate it.

00:02:32.660 Lying to the court, Senator, can you explain how big of a deal that is, especially if you're

00:02:38.600 the DA?

00:02:39.260 And on top of that, you've hired the special prosecutor who you're funneling taxpayer dollars

00:02:44.220 to that you're in a relationship with.

00:02:46.180 This is corruption at, like, Biden crime family level.

00:02:50.020 Yeah, it's a massive problem.

00:02:52.360 She was caught with her hand in the cookie jar.

00:02:54.760 And it undermines the entire prosecution.

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

00:03:15.280 for him is make him a sandwich.

00:03:17.400 We would have brutal arguments about the fact that I am your equal.

00:03:22.340 I don't need anything from a man.

00:03:23.840 A man is not a plan. 0.97

00:03:25.320 A man is a companion.

00:03:26.700 And so there was tension always in our relationship, which is why I would give him his money back.

00:03:34.240 I don't need anybody to foot my bills.

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,

00:03:46.780 lover, slash special prosecutor.

00:03:48.840 That's impressive.

00:03:50.380 No, it really is.

00:03:51.780 And understand, this is bizarre.

00:03:54.180 District attorneys do not pay prosecutors and lawyers that they have hired on the taxpayer dime

00:04:02.000 in stacks of cash.

00:04:04.200 That's what drug dealers do. 1.00

00:04:06.160 And listen to the rest of her testimony.

00:04:08.180 Listen to this.

00:04:09.680 Much less cash that time, probably $400 or $500.

00:04:12.580 And then I paid for a bunch of stuff.

00:04:15.660 I think we did two different wine tours that you do, which are pretty expensive.

00:04:22.220 I think I bought him.

00:04:24.660 He likes wine.

00:04:25.420 I don't really like wine, to be honest with you.

00:04:27.140 I like Grey Goose.

00:04:29.340 I bought him a bottle of wine while we were there.

00:04:31.900 And the sippings that you do.

00:04:33.400 I can't remember how many.

00:04:34.440 Like four or five different places you go.

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.

00:04:56.120 It was a three.

00:04:56.720 And it was like three different things.

00:04:58.020 Sweden, Russia, someplace else.

00:04:59.880 I'll make that up.

00:05:01.020 But that was the most expensive thing we did that trip.

00:05:04.140 And I paid for that.

00:05:06.480 You pay cash for us doing that?

00:05:09.160 Mm-hmm.

00:05:09.440 Yeah.

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?

00:05:33.400 Yeah.

00:05:33.680 I mean, I haven't seen cash like this.

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.

00:05:43.220 This is not small amounts.

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.

00:06:15.740 Yes, she hired with taxpayer money. 0.85

00:06:17.880 That is billed hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

00:06:23.880 To go after Donald Trump.

00:06:25.060 To go after Donald Trump.

00:06:26.020 Up to a million, they think.

00:06:28.480 And this is what he was asked about.

00:06:30.260 These credit card statements and who paid for what.

00:06:33.380 Okay.

00:06:33.980 And let's just talk about that travel.

00:06:36.220 Okay.

00:06:36.500 Um, the first trip is Belize in March, 2023.

00:06:41.600 Is that a trip that you took with Ms. Willis?

00:06:45.340 Are you asking?

00:06:47.080 Did you take a trip with Ms. Willis in 2023 to Belize?

00:06:50.780 I did.

00:06:51.200 Did you take a trip to California with Ms. Willis in 2023?

00:06:55.080 I did.

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.

00:07:06.980 She paid you back cash. 0.96

00:07:08.060 Well, let me say this.

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.

00:07:19.680 Zero.

00:07:20.620 Okay.

00:07:21.200 So the charges that are on your card, she gave you cash for?

00:07:25.460 She did.

00:07:26.220 Okay.

00:07:26.800 So all of the charges.

00:07:28.660 Excuse me, you're on it.

00:07:29.560 The witness has finished answering the question.

00:07:31.160 Oh, did you have more?

00:07:31.940 I did.

00:07:32.560 Okay.

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.

00:08:13.920 No, it's a credit card.

00:08:15.180 Everything is here.

00:08:16.080 So, and that's not what I asked.

00:08:19.820 Okay.

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.

00:08:34.760 Yes.

00:08:35.060 Yes.

00:08:35.280 So those show up on your credit card.

00:08:37.440 They do.

00:08:38.420 And you're saying that she paid you cash to reimburse you for all of that.

00:08:43.320 She did.

00:08:44.120 And she paid you cash for both of your portions or just hers?

00:08:49.360 Both.

00:08:50.200 Okay.

00:08:50.540 So that trip, Belize, just Belize, she paid you for everything on Belize?

00:08:54.200 The entire trip.

00:08:55.040 Okay.

00:08:55.780 So the food, tattoo parlor, all that stuff, she paid for.

00:09:00.360 I'm going to.

00:09:02.960 Is there anything to do with a question?

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.

00:09:11.660 I'm not getting into what it was for.

00:09:13.580 I'm just asking if everything that's on that card related to Belize, she paid you back for?

00:09:18.380 She paid for, yes, ma'am. 0.83

00:09:19.300 Okay.

00:09:20.100 By the way, Senator, just the conversation in general is hysterical, but also the fact that

00:09:26.020 they're both saying the same thing.

00:09:27.860 There is no paper trail.

00:09:30.520 I got paid back in cash for everything.

00:09:32.640 Everything.

00:09:33.260 Everything.

00:09:33.700 Everything in cash.

00:09:35.020 They're in a single receipt.

00:09:36.540 There's nothing here.

00:09:37.440 And by the way, one of those trips was my birthday.

00:09:40.360 So she paid for everything.

00:09:42.820 Look, neither you nor I are spring chickens.

00:09:46.380 You're 40 plus years old.

00:09:47.720 I'm 50 plus years old.

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

00:10:22.140 We hate Donald Trump. 0.92

00:10:23.140 I don't know.

00:10:23.360 I don't know what they got tattooed.

00:10:25.940 We hate MAGA, right?

00:10:27.380 But, but, but, but even the, the, the, the like little charges, he's like, no, no, no.

00:10:32.380 I didn't pay a penny.

00:10:33.860 Understand.

00:10:35.000 He's proud of it, by the way.

00:10:37.180 He's like, he's, he's bragging basically.

00:10:39.820 No, no, no. 0.97

00:10:40.000 He's like damn straight. 0.88

00:10:41.480 Every penny she paid for. 0.76

00:10:43.020 Yeah.

00:10:43.240 And pay me back in cash on all of it.

00:10:45.620 All of it.

00:10:46.160 It's incredible to, to the seriousness of this for a moment.

00:10:49.700 Cause that is just hysterical.

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.

00:11:07.800 That's how they put all this together.

00:11:09.680 Yeah.

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.

00:11:29.580 It ain't good at all.

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?

00:11:42.100 Sure.

00:11:43.040 But this was always, I think, a rabid partisan Democrat who hated Donald Trump, who wanted

00:11:50.360 to make a name for herself. 0.99

00:11:51.640 And, and I got to say, you know, listening to the story of his saying it's hard to travel

00:11:56.260 with her.

00:11:57.060 I don't know.

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,

00:12:07.820 knows who she is.

00:12:09.240 Listen, I think that was the objective of bringing this case and, and maybe it worked.

00:12:13.080 I don't know.

00:12:14.160 Yeah, it definitely did.

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.

00:12:23.240 Donald Trump's New York hush money case.

00:12:25.740 This is that criminal case there will start March the 25th.

00:12:29.260 It's the first of his criminal trials.

00:12:31.680 And final question on this center.

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

00:12:45.080 one, March the 25th.

00:12:46.320 And if that one falls, we'll start another one in May or June.

00:12:50.400 Look, yes and no.

00:12:52.000 I don't think this is a grand conspiracy.

00:12:54.180 I don't think there's one grand poobah in a smoke-filled room saying you bring this case,

00:12:59.320 you bring this case, 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

00:13:06.220 pick Fannie Willis to be part of it.

00:13:07.860 Like, like, like this prosecutor is a mess.

00:13:11.980 And, and, and so I think it is instead.

00:13:14.840 Is it political opportunists that are just saying, I got to make a name for myself and

00:13:18.400 I want a pound of Trump flesh?

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.

00:13:33.700 No, I'm going to get him.

00:13:34.440 No, 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

00:13:46.080 that I think is the devil.

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

00:13:55.420 elected leaders, and the world around them.

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

00:15:14.240 United Nations Relief and Works Agency.

00:15:17.220 And it is a part of the United Nations that is focused on giving aid to the Palestinians.

00:15:24.900 And major stories have broken.

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

00:15:55.560 people and took over 250 hostages.

00:15:59.160 Now, pause and think about it.

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.

00:16:39.340 Now, that could not have happened by accident.

00:16:42.080 And it totally reveals UNRWA as a facilitating entity for terrorism.

00:16:49.240 So let's follow the money here.

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.

00:17:17.180 Now, that's exactly right.

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,

00:17:47.280 The IDF was here previously.

00:17:49.280 The first time was to destroy the enemy.

00:17:51.360 But when we were here the last time, we collected a lot of intelligence documents and findings,

00:17:55.980 a lot of prisoners.

00:17:57.600 And thanks to this, we reached here.

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.

00:18:13.440 20 meters is about 60 feet.

00:18:15.320 We needed a bit more.

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.

00:18:43.640 Wow.

00:18:44.160 And this, look, the UN, you want to talk about, number one, the UN has always been just a pit

00:18:51.520 of anti-Semitism, anti-Israel hatred.

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.

00:19:11.520 What will America's response be to this?

00:19:14.540 Has the Biden administration said anything?

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

00:19:36.720 overlooked as well by this administration?

00:19:38.620 Yes.

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

00:19:56.860 be used for terrorist activities.

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

00:20:36.620 for terrorism, you can't send the money.

00:20:38.720 That would be common sense.

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

00:20:53.220 be used by Hamas for terrorism.

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.

00:21:07.860 We it looks like American 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,

00:21:43.000 don't send the money.

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,

00:22:30.720 including Hamas.

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

00:22:44.700 dozens of Americans and over 1,200 Israelis.

00:22:50.300 According to its 2021 annual report,

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.

00:23:30.360 And also taken hostage.

00:23:32.340 Now, sadly, that's right.

00:23:33.560 And the Biden administration, we've talked about before, when it comes to foreign policy,

00:23:37.580 it is all politics all the time.

00:23:40.260 And they set aside U.S. national security.

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.

00:23:49.640 And it's made the world much more dangerous.

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,

00:24:00.980 which kicked off the vicious war.

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.

00:24:15.680 Entire communities have been torn apart.

00:24:17.840 Lives devastated by death and destruction.

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.

00:24:39.860 The need is great.

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,

00:24:59.220 you just have to go to supportifcj.org.

00:25:03.620 That's supportifcj.org.

00:25:06.800 And give as generously as you can.

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,

00:25:21.020 go to supportifcj.org.

00:25:25.080 That's supportifcj.org.

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?

00:26:23.780 Gaza is run by Hamas.

00:26:25.580 Hamas is the government of Gaza. 0.98

00:26:27.180 And Hamas is a terror. 0.57

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

00:26:40.820 They control the entire city.

00:26:42.360 I understand the Palestinians.

00:26:43.640 So part of the leftist rhetoric, they say Gaza is the largest open air prison on earth.

00:26:48.760 That's a lie.

00:26:50.340 You know, Gaza is not run by Israel.

00:26:53.120 Gaza is run by the Palestinians.

00:26:55.140 Israel left the Gaza Strip.

00:26:57.280 So the Gaza Strip is a portion of what used to be Israel.

00:27:01.880 And it is on the southwest portion of Israel.

00:27:06.560 And they just left.

00:27:07.800 Israel left and said, all right, there's a massive population of Palestinians.

00:27:11.280 You guys are in charge.

00:27:12.400 You run it.

00:27:13.340 And they had elections in Gaza. 0.87

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

00:27:27.520 That is in its core mission. 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?

00:28:56.960 What's that?

00:28:57.760 Oh, we trust UNRWA.

00:28:59.020 UNRWA's great.

00:28:59.780 Give it to UNRWA.

00:29:00.860 UNRWA will be fantastic.

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.

00:29:19.020 Final question on this.

00:29:20.520 Is there a way to actually stop the funds going into Gaza, going into UNRWA?

00:29:25.720 And what would that look like?

00:29:27.060 Donald Trump did it.

00:29:27.340 Absolutely, you can stop it.

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.
