Verdict with Ted Cruz - Get Out of Jail Free Pass for Biden plus DNC Riot & Osama Bin Laden Viral on Tik Tok

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.440 Senator, good to be with you.

00:00:06.800 You actually get an entire week at home over Thanksgiving.

00:00:11.040 Congrats, because I see your schedule.

00:00:13.000 For people that don't know your schedule, and if you listen to Verdict a lot,

00:00:17.540 I have never not wanted to be an elected official more than after I started working with you

00:00:22.800 when I see your daily schedule.

00:00:24.020 You had like a 20-hour day the other day.

00:00:26.420 Yeah, 21.

00:00:27.140 21.

00:00:27.760 Yeah, who's counting, right?

00:00:28.940 It is insane.

00:00:30.260 You get a whole week home.

00:00:31.680 I know you're thrilled.

00:00:32.780 It's good to see you here in person for that, getting to hang out with your family.

00:00:36.920 And it is official now.

00:00:38.720 This makes me laugh.

00:00:40.620 The special counsel investigating Joe Biden handling of classified materials

00:00:45.120 is apparently not expected to hand on any charges for Joe Biden,

00:00:49.580 who had classified material.

00:00:51.260 And let's remind people he had it in his garage.

00:00:53.600 He had it in another office.

00:00:55.260 He had it at a university.

00:00:56.540 And some of the stuff dated back decades to when he was a senator.

00:01:00.360 No charges for him.

00:01:01.740 But Donald Trump could go to jail for, I don't know, what are we at, 160 years now?

00:01:05.780 Well, look, you would be forgiven if you've forgotten about this story,

00:01:09.620 because if it's up to the corporate media, there's nothing here to remember.

00:01:13.260 Yeah.

00:01:13.480 And they haven't covered it since the story broke initially.

00:01:16.700 They've just buried it in the time vault.

00:01:19.280 But what we have now, we don't know for sure,

00:01:22.780 because we have not actually gotten a report from the Biden Department of Justice.

00:01:26.740 What we've gotten is media leaks.

00:01:28.600 But that's how the Biden Department of Justice puts things out,

00:01:31.640 is they leak like a sieve when it's politically convenient to them.

00:01:34.740 And so what the media leaks indicate is that Robert Herr, who is the special counsel who was appointed to investigate Joe Biden

00:01:43.600 and his mishandling of classified documents, is expected to file a report with some harsh language, we're told.

00:01:50.640 Harsh.

00:01:51.300 Bad boy, bad boy, he's going to say.

00:01:53.300 But nobody's going to be prosecuted.

00:01:55.580 Never mind.

00:01:56.240 Slap on the wrist.

00:01:57.120 Everything fine here.

00:01:58.400 Now, I got to say, this is the least surprising thing since the sun rose in the sky this morning.

00:02:04.380 We knew this was coming.

00:02:06.740 And it's worth replaying the history to remember how this came.

00:02:11.800 So the Biden DOJ was filled with joy.

00:02:16.640 Their hearts were palpitating because they had classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

00:02:21.060 And finally, they had an excuse to indict Donald Trump.

00:02:24.320 This was back in those halcyon days.

00:02:26.060 Yeah.

00:02:26.780 When they hadn't indicted Trump once or twice or three times or four times.

00:02:30.260 He was zero times indicted when this happened.

00:02:32.100 But they were all excited because the classified documents, that's how they were going to get their villain, their enemy, their arch nemesis.

00:02:41.140 And then, wouldn't you know it, turns out Joe Biden stores classified documents just about everywhere except where you're supposed to.

00:02:50.140 So classified documents were discovered at the Penn Center.

00:02:54.840 Classified documents were discovered in Biden's D.C. office.

00:02:58.620 Classified documents were discovered in the garage of his Delaware house next to his classic car.

00:03:03.400 By the way, the garage is completely unlocked.

00:03:05.200 They're just in boxes sitting next to the Corvette.

00:03:08.900 And it was one after the other after the other.

00:03:11.300 And if you recall, we actually pulled up the video of Merrick Garland when he was forced to announce the special counsel.

00:03:19.180 And on this podcast, I joked that Merrick Garland's face seemed like a hostage video.

00:03:25.420 Yeah. 0.97

00:03:25.580 Like, he was so miserable.

00:03:27.760 I was speculating, is he actually blinking SOS? 0.91

00:03:31.620 Because he had a clean shot, he thought, to finally take down Trump.

00:03:37.300 And it was two different ways they even handled it.

00:03:39.460 From a raid of Mar-a-Lago, a former president, first time in history, to,

00:03:43.760 let's talk to the lawyers quietly and we'll come get to these documents.

00:03:48.200 And bury it before the last election.

00:03:50.660 Yeah.

00:03:51.100 So they knew that Joe Biden had multiple classified documents stored illegally.

00:03:55.940 They knew that before the last election.

00:03:57.720 And, you know, we're talking about leaks.

00:03:59.700 Magically, that didn't leak.

00:04:01.100 No.

00:04:01.280 They only leak the things they want to leak.

00:04:04.020 But if it actually hurts the Biden White House, it is locked up in a vault for all eternity

00:04:09.780 because Merrick Garland sadly has utterly politicized the Department of Justice.

00:04:14.000 Well, Garland felt, okay, I've got to appoint a special counsel for Biden.

00:04:22.560 Had no choice because of the standard with Trump. 0.99

00:04:24.740 Because it's so hypocritical. 0.97

00:04:26.140 And he'd already appointed a special counsel for Trump. 0.92

00:04:28.720 So it was obvious, wait, well, if they both did the same thing, 0.99

00:04:32.240 he couldn't figure out how to get out of it without looking like a hypocrite. 0.99

00:04:35.600 So what did he do? 0.98

00:04:36.920 He appointed Robert Herr.

00:04:38.320 Who was Robert Herr?

00:04:39.040 We talked about Robert Herr.

00:04:40.880 Robert Herr was the right hand of Rod Rosenstein.

00:04:44.000 Who was the deputy attorney general who spearheaded the whole Russia, Russia, Russia thing.

00:04:49.040 Who appointed Robert Mueller to investigate Trump.

00:04:52.220 Who was responsible for the weaponization of the Department of Justice.

00:04:56.520 Yeah.

00:04:56.980 Going after Trump from within.

00:04:59.420 Now, to be clear, Trump nominated Rod Rosenstein to that position,

00:05:04.280 which was an enormous mistake.

00:05:05.880 And a mistake that I am sure he came to regret.

00:05:08.800 But Rosenstein, and by the way, Rosenstein had been Obama's U.S.

00:05:13.920 Attorney in Maryland for eight years.

00:05:16.260 Which is why Chuck Schumer and the Democrats were thrilled when Trump came and said,

00:05:21.480 we're going to nominate Rod Rosenstein for deputy attorney general. 0.98

00:05:24.460 Schumer and the Democrats said, hot diggity damn, you're going to give us Obama's U.S. 0.98

00:05:28.440 Attorney as your number two at DOJ. 0.99

00:05:30.200 Great idea.

00:05:32.320 And I think that will go down as one of the most consequential mistakes of the Trump presidency

00:05:37.580 in the opening months, putting Rod Rosenstein in that position.

00:05:40.460 Well, Rosenstein's right hand was Robert Herr.

00:05:44.040 Who else's right hand was he?

00:05:45.600 Well, Robert Herr was also Chris Ray's right hand.

00:05:48.720 That's right.

00:05:49.660 The administrator.

00:05:50.560 Chris Ray is.

00:05:51.300 Chris Ray is the administrator of the FBI.

00:05:53.100 Chris Ray, sadly, has sat by and been complicit in the weaponization of the FBI by Joe Biden,

00:06:01.360 by Merrick Garland, going after the White House's political enemies.

00:06:05.160 And Ray has allowed that all to happen.

00:06:08.280 So Merrick Garland knew exactly who he was appointing.

00:06:11.740 He was appointing someone who was a loyal deputy to Rod Rosenstein and a loyal deputy to Chris Ray.

00:06:15.800 And you and I at the time, and by the way, Robert Herr was a former law clerk to Chief Justice Rehnquist,

00:06:22.460 for whom I clerked.

00:06:23.280 I've met him, but I don't know Mr. Herr.

00:06:26.060 I've met him at a clerk reunion.

00:06:29.400 We said at the time, I said, listen, given his past professional associations,

00:06:36.360 we have reason to be highly skeptical of Mr. Herr.

00:06:40.460 Robert Herr appears to be someone Merrick Garland has put in to whitewash this,

00:06:44.460 to say, I got to have a special counsel.

00:06:46.740 Let me appoint someone so I can say I did.

00:06:49.080 And then the outcome of it will be spend a year gazing at your navel,

00:06:53.320 pretending to do something, and then put out a report saying,

00:06:55.820 never mind, nothing to see here.

00:06:57.680 Now, mind you, in the intervening year, they have indicted Donald Trump.

00:07:01.520 They are prosecuting Donald Trump for his handling of classified documents.

00:07:06.080 But it turns out the double standard is alive and well.

00:07:09.000 And if these leaks are to be believed, Joe Biden will face no consequences whatsoever.

00:07:13.000 But when you and I first analyzed this, I said there will be a tell as to whether this is a real

00:07:20.680 special counsel, which will be what will his mandate be?

00:07:25.780 What will the what will the parameters of the investigation be?

00:07:30.060 Jack Smith, who Merrick Garland appointed to pursue Donald Trump like Javert and Les Mis,

00:07:37.200 to pursue him to the ends of the earth, to do everything he can to attack and destroy Donald

00:07:43.620 Trump because Merrick Garland doesn't want Trump to beat Joe Biden next November.

00:07:49.860 And so Jack Smith's job is destroy this man because we, the Democrats, do not trust the voters.

00:07:55.260 We hate democracy.

00:07:56.840 And by the way, you'll recall, we talked about this recently when I was on Bill Maher.

00:08:01.300 Bill Maher's head almost exploded when I said the Democrats hate democracy because their

00:08:06.440 talking point is we love democracy.

00:08:08.640 Well, you know what?

00:08:09.100 If you love democracy, yeah, six is all about defending democracy.

00:08:12.100 Right.

00:08:12.680 But if they actually love democracy, they wouldn't have indicted Trump one, two, three, four times.

00:08:17.460 Those indictments are a frontal assault on democracy.

00:08:20.960 They're using the legal system to prevent the voters from voting for Donald Trump.

00:08:25.020 They're doing it because they're terrified if the voters have a choice, they will choose

00:08:31.140 not Biden and in particular the person they're terrified of, Donald Trump.

00:08:35.540 But I said at the time of this appointment, the tell will be whether Robert Herr is willing

00:08:42.660 to investigate and does in fact investigate the overwhelming evidence of Joe Biden's corruption

00:08:48.460 and of Hunter Biden selling access to and favors from Joe Biden.

00:08:53.840 If he's willing to investigate that, that will be a real special counsel that is actually

00:08:59.060 investigating the evidence of criminality instead.

00:09:02.960 And from everything leaked to the papers, if he just does a report and said, yeah, well,

00:09:08.140 there were some documents in the wrong place, that's really bad.

00:09:11.720 But never mind.

00:09:12.460 Nothing to see here.

00:09:13.160 Please move on.

00:09:13.940 By the way, did you see how many times we've indicted Donald Trump?

00:09:16.560 Oh, boy.

00:09:17.060 By the way, CNN, can we have another like all day long coverage of the latest Donald Trump

00:09:22.480 indictment and like how horrible and the latest trial and and Trump, Trump, Trump?

00:09:26.320 Never mind.

00:09:26.780 There is no Joe Biden.

00:09:29.040 This is assuming the leaks are true.

00:09:32.220 This is disappointing.

00:09:34.460 But utterly and completely unsurprising, let me make one more point.

00:09:38.880 So Biden's classified documents, some of them were from his time as VP.

00:09:43.040 Some of them were from his time as a senator.

00:09:47.980 And you and I talked in this podcast at the time how utterly bizarre that is.

00:09:52.860 Yeah.

00:09:53.220 Look, I've been a senator 11 years.

00:09:54.860 I know to an absolute metaphysical certainty there are no classified documents in my house.

00:10:00.320 How do I know that?

00:10:01.640 Because I've never taken a classified document out of the skiff in the Senate.

00:10:05.880 If you're like me and you have just made the resolution that you are not going to give your

00:10:11.500 money to woke companies fighting against your values, one bill that you have every month

00:10:16.480 is one that you can now switch to a company that stands with your values when it comes

00:10:20.140 to your cell phone.

00:10:21.400 99% of you, you've got a cell phone.

00:10:23.280 And if you do, how would you like to know that every time you make a call, send a text,

00:10:28.140 that you're actually supporting conservative causes?

00:10:30.600 Well, there's a company that's celebrating their 10th anniversary right now called Patriot Mobile.

00:10:34.420 I'm proud to tell you that I love this company and I use this company because they do something

00:10:39.080 different.

00:10:39.760 When you pay your bill every month, they take a percentage of that bill at no extra charge

00:10:43.900 to you.

00:10:44.280 And they give it back to companies and organizations that support your First and Second Amendment

00:10:50.040 rights and support the rights of unborn children.

00:10:52.980 Now, right now, as they celebrate their 10th anniversary, they're doing something even above

00:10:57.020 and beyond that.

00:10:58.120 For every new customer that comes over, they are giving a donation to a right to life organization

00:11:04.280 to celebrate this 10th anniversary and to say thank you for conservatives that are standing

00:11:09.000 with them.

00:11:09.780 So take away that big check every month you're giving to Big Mobile and give it to a company

00:11:15.040 that supports what you believe in and stands beside our values.

00:11:19.380 How do you get in touch with Patriot Mobile and make the switch?

00:11:21.760 It's easy because when you switch, you get to keep your same cell phone number.

00:11:25.220 You get to keep your same cell phone you have right now.

00:11:27.700 And you can upgrade to a new one if you want to.

00:11:30.280 Their number, 972-PATRIOT.

00:11:33.080 That's 972-PATRIOT.

00:11:35.240 Or you can go to PatriotMobile.com.

00:11:37.160 If you've got a business or a small business or a bunch of family numbers with your family,

00:11:42.240 they can switch all of them easily.

00:11:44.360 Just call them.

00:11:45.120 Use the promo code VERDICT.

00:11:47.200 And you'll get the best deals of the year plus free activation.

00:11:51.500 PatriotMobile.com slash VERDICT.

00:11:54.120 Or call them 972-PATRIOT.

00:11:56.440 That's 972-PATRIOT.

00:11:58.600 Now, for people that are watching or listening real quick, explain what SCIF means, a definition of it.

00:12:04.060 So SCIF is an acronym, and it means Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, SCIF, S-C-I-F.

00:12:10.980 And it just means a secure place that you can read classified materials without being surveilled.

00:12:20.140 What it is is something designed to prevent spies from figuring out what goes on.

00:12:24.660 And so it's typically buried down in the ground.

00:12:27.040 And I assume the walls are some combination of steel and concrete, like really thick walls with lots of crap and really thick metal doors.

00:12:34.380 And they have all sorts of technology to prevent espionage, so to prevent anyone from spying.

00:12:41.480 So they have anti-spying stuff, which I don't know what it is, but it's designed to ensure that it's secure.

00:12:48.360 And when you go in there, and I go in there regularly.

00:12:51.600 I'm in there, if not once a week, once every other week.

00:12:54.540 I mean, that's a regular part of being a senator.

00:12:56.980 And your staff's not walking in there with you, correct?

00:12:59.220 Okay, to go, your staff walks in if they have enough clearance for what's happening.

00:13:04.680 Okay.

00:13:04.820 So there are different levels of clearance.

00:13:06.760 And if you have, I've got a couple of staff members who have security clearance.

00:13:10.380 And so...

00:13:10.960 And they deal with national security issues.

00:13:12.560 So if they have the clearance for the briefing, they can come in.

00:13:15.980 But generally speaking, they don't.

00:13:17.680 Most of the classified briefings I go to, staff does not come to.

00:13:23.220 And when you go in, you hand over all your electronics.

00:13:26.320 So you hand over your cell phone, if you're wearing a Fitbit, anything you have that is electronic, your AirPods, like just whatever you have, you hand over all electronics.

00:13:35.080 Because they don't want eavesdropping.

00:13:36.520 They don't want the Chinese to be able to hack into your phone and monitor what's happening there. 1.00

00:13:40.920 So you go in, and the documents you're given, so if you're reading classified documents, they're in a folder.

00:13:49.100 And, I mean, they have big, bright, you have to sign them out.

00:13:52.240 And, like they say, classified documents.

00:13:54.300 And so sitting there...

00:13:55.120 To be clear, when you sign them out, it's not like you're then taking them to off campus or outside a SCIF.

00:13:59.600 That's just to see it, correct?

00:14:00.780 So the SCIF, in the Senate at least, there are a whole series of rooms.

00:14:05.160 So there's kind of a big room that is a hearing room that will do, say, a classified briefing for all 100 senators.

00:14:12.580 So it's big enough that 100 senators can sit in there, and you can have the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense and the head of the CIA, you can have them all there, brief you, and you can ask questions.

00:14:22.660 And that would be like after a terrorist attack or 9-11 or go to war when you need everybody in the room, and that's a way to do it securely.

00:14:28.840 So it's not on the floor of the Senate.

00:14:29.940 So we had lots of classified briefings on the Chinese spy satellites, the balloons.

00:14:35.460 The one we didn't shoot down that wasn't collecting intelligence, and then afterwards they said was, in fact, collecting intelligence.

00:14:40.460 And I think the most recent all-senators one we did was on the Hamas attack to Israel.

00:14:44.980 So we had all-senators one there.

00:14:46.680 You can ask questions.

00:14:48.340 So that's just like a big room.

00:14:50.300 But they're also – they're smaller kind of conference rooms where, say, you can say, I want CIA to brief me on the following topic, and CIA will send over a couple of briefers with some documents.

00:15:02.620 And you can do it like one-on-one.

00:15:04.420 If I want to be briefed on something, I can ask for that and then sit down.

00:15:08.120 And so it's just a little conference room, but it's in the skiff.

00:15:11.760 And then they have even smaller rooms that are just little reading rooms that are basically like a closet with a chair and a desk in it.

00:15:19.180 And you go in there and close the door.

00:15:20.500 And so if you have – so I mentioned, for example, there's some classified documents on UFOs.

00:15:26.180 I wanted to read them.

00:15:27.360 Sure.

00:15:27.820 So I went down.

00:15:28.680 I sat in the little closet on the chair, and I read the documents on the UFOs.

00:15:32.660 But when you do it, they're like, okay, Senator, you're here for document number 3025, whatever.

00:15:38.700 Yes, okay, we have it here.

00:15:40.060 All right, you took it at 525 p.m.

00:15:44.080 Okay, you have it.

00:15:45.480 You go back in the room.

00:15:46.500 You sit there, and for 20, 30 minutes you read it, and then you bring it back, and you hand it to the person who secures it again.

00:15:52.520 I mean, that's the process.

00:15:54.740 I was at a classified briefing this past week.

00:15:58.420 My team had prepared for me a briefing paper, which just about any meeting I go to, my team does a briefing paper.

00:16:04.480 That's pretty standard.

00:16:05.820 So the briefing paper wasn't classified.

00:16:07.840 My team typed it in my office.

00:16:10.020 It didn't involve classified materials.

00:16:11.580 It was just questions and things you might want to ask.

00:16:14.660 Yeah, they were suggesting questions on the topic we were discussing.

00:16:17.780 Hey, you might want to ask this.

00:16:18.720 You might want to ask this.

00:16:19.660 So I had carried the briefing paper in, spent, I don't know, about an hour, hour and a half of the classified briefing, and I was walking out.

00:16:26.220 As I'm walking out, the officers, they see me carrying a piece of paper.

00:16:29.680 They say, that's not classified, is it?

00:16:31.220 I'm like, no, no, it's my briefing paper I carried in.

00:16:33.780 So, like, literally, if you carry out a piece of paper that you got, they'll stop you.

00:16:37.380 I say all of this to say the fact that Joe Biden had multiple classified documents from his time as senator is bizarre.

00:16:46.060 To do it, if I wanted to take classified document out, I would have to do what Sandy Berger, Bill Clinton's national security advisor, did, which is stick it in your socks or stick it in your underwear.

00:16:54.760 You'd have to purposely say, I'm going to hide this in my chest or somewhere under my shirt so no one will see it, and I'm stealing it at that point.

00:17:02.760 Right. It's why I have absolute certainty, and it's different.

00:17:07.420 Look, it's different for Trump when you're president, where, number one, you're accessing classified documents regularly, and in his instance, he's bringing his papers down, and presidents prepare their papers and compile them for libraries.

00:17:22.860 It's very different for a former president than for a senator.

00:17:27.200 Number one, the volume of classified documents they're reviewing is much larger.

00:17:31.220 They review them many more places in the White House, and their papers potentially have them in.

00:17:37.240 But Joe Biden's time as senator, it's why I don't have to think, gosh, did I mistakenly leave a classified document at home?

00:17:43.340 Nope. If I wasn't in the SCIF, I've never read a classified document when I wasn't in the SCIF.

00:17:48.700 To be clear, it's not coming to your office, and that's the point you're making.

00:17:51.600 You've got to go to them to read it.

00:17:53.320 It can't come to your office.

00:17:55.240 Okay.

00:17:55.640 So if you want to read a classified document, you have to go to a SCIF.

00:17:59.880 So you can do it.

00:18:00.620 There's one in the basement of the Capitol.

00:18:02.460 There are a couple of SCIFs that are in some of the Senate office buildings, so sometimes I'll go to another SCIF.

00:18:07.140 But if you want to read a classified document, you cannot do it in your own office.

00:18:11.940 You must go to a secure place to read it.

00:18:15.400 You check it out.

00:18:16.480 You read it in that secure place.

00:18:18.260 You don't take it out with you, and then you leave it there.

00:18:21.100 And by the way, you can't even take notes.

00:18:22.900 If you take notes from a classified document, those notes are presumably classified.

00:18:28.860 So, I mean, it is heavily regulated, and yet Joe Biden apparently just leaves it by his Corvette.

00:18:34.880 And we're going to get now the Biden politicized DOJ saying, never mind, everything's fine.

00:18:41.840 Amazing, isn't it?

00:18:42.860 Truly amazing.

00:18:43.600 And some of these documents, to be clear for people, just for the record, we've been told we're at the highest level of classification, which also should matter.

00:18:51.080 Well, we don't have much transparency on this.

00:18:53.300 The Department of Justice has told us some of the documents Trump had because, of course, they want to attack Trump.

00:18:58.660 But the documents Biden had, did he have the nuclear codes there?

00:19:01.800 I don't know.

00:19:02.900 They haven't told us that.

00:19:04.600 They've indicated.

00:19:05.540 So, for example, a question we've asked, I've asked, you and I have asked on this podcast, did the documents concern Ukraine and Burisma?

00:19:13.840 Yeah.

00:19:14.240 Because Hunter Biden was staying at the House with the documents at the time he was being paid by Burisma to get favors from his dad.

00:19:23.020 What documents are we talking about?

00:19:25.740 Are they just some random classified documents?

00:19:27.720 Are they exactly what the Ukrainians were paying Hunter for? 0.99

00:19:33.060 The Chinese were paying Hunter for? 0.98

00:19:34.720 The Russians were paying Hunter for?

00:19:36.260 Romania.

00:19:36.640 Like, that's why the connection of the documents to the corruption.

00:19:42.960 We'll see if Robert Herr investigated that.

00:19:45.620 But from these leaks, every indication is the answer is no.

00:19:48.940 New Year's is getting really close and you're going to have New Year's resolutions.

00:19:53.020 So, if you're a guy and your New Year's resolution is, hey, I want to get in better shape.

00:21:16.200 Senator, I want to ask you another question and that deals with something else that also happened this week.

00:21:21.100 You had a riot at the DNC, Democrat National Committee, and you had a breakdown of law and order, not just there, but we also saw where they had a massive bridge in California that was actually blocked.

00:21:34.140 And you had a bunch of these type of riots that were happening, and there was virtually no coverage of it, even in the papers in Washington, D.C., where this took place.

00:21:44.440 Now, who were these rioters?

00:21:45.480 They were people demanding that there be a ceasefire, demanding that you stand with Hamas, demanding that you stand with the Palestinians.

00:21:53.640 And at the Democrat National Committee, to me, it's the chickens coming home to roost.

00:21:58.300 The Democrat National Committee has been in favor of all sorts of lawlessness in this country.

00:22:02.160 They were huge advocates for Black Lives Matter and the looting and the rioting that happened because of Black Lives Matter. 0.91

00:22:08.360 They never came out and condemned it.

00:22:10.340 They never came out in Democratic cities where they were torching police stations, where they were torching police cars, where they were torching African-American businesses and said, stop it.

00:22:18.500 And now we see that this lawlessness that they've been advocating, supporting, saying it's, well, we're just advocating for free speech, is now coming back to the steps of the Democratic National Committee.

00:22:29.000 And the media knows there's a PR nightmare here.

00:22:31.640 They didn't cover it, didn't even put it on the front pages of the newspapers in D.C.

00:22:36.040 Well, look, understand this is a pattern.

00:22:38.960 We saw a couple of weeks ago pro-Hamas rioters and protesters attack the White House, attack the White House, try to scale the fence of the White House, spray paint the White House.

00:22:48.880 You saw this, right?

00:22:49.840 You went and looked at it.

00:22:50.600 Spray fake blood on the White House, deface statues at the White House.

00:22:55.860 What did the corporate media do?

00:22:57.500 Utterly ignored it.

00:22:58.380 Didn't make the 6 o'clock news.

00:22:59.860 CNN didn't cover it.

00:23:01.040 MSNBC didn't cover it.

00:23:02.700 It just didn't exist because that story is inconsistent with the official narrative they're trying to push.

00:23:08.760 They have a political agenda.

00:23:10.000 They are not journalists anymore.

00:23:11.540 It's what I explain in my brand new book, Unwoke, which if you haven't bought Unwoke, you ought to go on Amazon and buy it right now.

00:23:17.440 It will explain why the corporate media does not want you to know about this.

00:23:22.400 So the White House is attacked and it's not news.

00:23:25.420 Well, what happened this past week is it wasn't just the White House that was attacked.

00:23:28.660 It was the Democratic National Committee.

00:23:30.640 It was the Democratic National Committee at a time when there were a whole bunch of Democratic House members there at the DNC.

00:23:36.720 They were having a reception.

00:23:38.120 So they're sitting there sipping Chardonnay with their pinkies in the air, probably eating caviar and being fanned by megadonors.

00:23:49.120 And outside are the pro-Hamas rioters.

00:23:52.300 And then the pro-Hamas rioters got violent.

00:23:55.540 They got violent.

00:23:56.460 A number of them were arrested, although we don't know how many.

00:23:59.380 And by the way, they were evacuated from the DNC.

00:24:01.820 That's something that's very important to point out.

00:24:03.520 These members of Congress, they were so afraid for their safety that apparently there was evacuation orders.

00:24:08.260 Yes.

00:24:08.580 Look, it was a violent riot.

00:24:12.200 And this is the base of the Democrats rioting against Democrat House members.

00:24:18.580 And six Capitol Police officers were injured.

00:24:21.920 They needed treatment for injuries.

00:24:23.320 The injuries included minor cuts, being pepper sprayed, and being punched.

00:24:27.520 So six Capitol Police officers were injured from the violence of the pro-Hamas protesters.

00:24:32.680 Almost sounds like the definition of insurrection.

00:24:34.700 Just want to throw that out there as a side note here.

00:24:36.660 By the way.

00:24:37.320 When you're pepper spraying law enforcement, that sounds like it was something that was pre-planned.

00:24:41.680 Well, you know, it's interesting.

00:24:42.760 One House Democrat present at the DNC at the time told Axios it, quote, scared me more than January 6th.

00:24:50.320 So, according to the Washington Free Beacon, the group behind the DNC riot was funded by George Soros.

00:24:59.820 And in particular, the protesters were with the following groups, if not now, Jewish Voices for Peace and the Democratic Socialists of America.

00:25:11.340 Now, Soros' philanthropy, Open Society Foundation, has given $650,000 to Jewish Voices for Peace since 2017 to fund the group's, quote, human rights work in the Middle East.

00:25:25.300 Open Society awarded $400,000 to, if not now, in 2019 and 2021.

00:25:34.220 And Soros has contributed $1,036,500 to the DNC since 2020.

00:25:42.160 How about the Democratic Socialists of America?

00:25:46.120 Well, five House members are members.

00:25:49.140 Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Cori Bush, Jamal Bowman, who also is now pleaded guilty to the crime of ringing the fire alarm falsely trying to prevent a House vote.

00:26:03.360 He was just trying to get out of the building.

00:26:04.740 Didn't you know that?

00:26:05.760 That was the excuse, right?

00:26:07.060 Just trying to get out of the building.

00:26:07.760 But he pleaded guilty.

00:26:08.520 Yeah, pleaded guilty.

00:26:09.440 But, you know.

00:26:10.480 Greg Kosar, sadly from Texas, one of the Democrat Socialists from Austin.

00:26:14.860 And Ilhan Omar is described as a friend.

00:26:19.000 So she's not technically a member.

00:26:20.560 She's just sort of.

00:26:22.480 A friend of the group.

00:26:23.600 A friend of the communists.

00:26:26.280 A comrade.

00:26:27.120 Comrade.

00:26:29.000 But this is a violent attack.

00:26:33.360 I want you to look at the Washington Post front page the day after the assault on the DNC.

00:26:39.560 Now, the lead headline, U.S.-China moves to reopen military ties.

00:26:44.000 A picture of Joe Biden.

00:26:45.120 A picture of Xi.

00:26:46.400 Oh, isn't this great?

00:26:47.400 China, U.S., all one big happy family.

00:26:49.360 That's the top half of the page.

00:26:51.720 On the left, in Gaza, a hospital swarmed by troops.

00:26:57.380 Good job, guys.

00:26:58.120 Got to have your pro-Hamas narrative there. 0.56

00:27:00.580 Israel bad. 0.86

00:27:02.840 Hamas good.

00:27:03.920 All right.

00:27:04.280 Washington Post doing well.

00:27:05.500 Down at the bottom, complex is beating heart of Hamas command. 0.75

00:27:13.560 Israel says.

00:27:14.440 Israel says.

00:27:16.340 At the right, tentative deal would release dozens of hostages in Gaza.

00:27:22.340 And then, okay, this is at the bottom.

00:27:25.220 This is really quite classic.

00:27:27.160 New CDC director is driven to mend broken trust.

00:27:33.720 Hey, at least they're admitting there was some trust that was broken there.

00:27:36.500 This is the zealot who was the shutdown queen. 1.00

00:27:39.940 Remember, we actually put out an entire video because she is a Fauci fangirl.

00:27:45.960 She is a huge advocate of lockdowns and shutdowns.

00:27:49.360 But here, oh, this favorable article.

00:27:52.880 Oh, she's driven to mend broken trust. 0.95

00:27:56.440 Perhaps what broke the trust?

00:27:57.420 Perhaps people like you behaved like jackbooted thugs, shutting down schools and churches and

00:28:02.820 businesses and not caring about people's individual liberty and lying about the science and the 0.94

00:28:07.900 medicine.

00:28:08.320 By the way, again, my new book on woke has an entire chapter on science and medicine that

00:28:13.360 details how Fauci and the and and the CDC lied and lied repeatedly and knowingly over and

00:28:22.580 over and over again.

00:28:23.900 And then the final headline on the front page.

00:28:26.900 This is more important than a riot at the DNC.

00:28:29.240 This this story, they said, let's put this one up instead of a riot at the Democrat National

00:28:34.340 Committee and an evacuation.

00:28:36.460 This is amazing.

00:28:37.460 Food industry warned on paid influencer posts.

00:28:42.560 That's the entire.

00:28:43.460 Can you imagine that meeting, by the way?

00:28:44.780 They're like, all right, what are we going to put on the front page?

00:28:46.320 I think food industry warning of paid influencers.

00:28:49.040 Definitely more important, folks, than an actual riot.

00:28:51.240 The Democrat National Committee.

00:28:52.600 And look, we had an earlier pod, which, by the way, if you didn't listen to this one,

00:28:57.460 you ought to go back and listen to a couple of weeks ago.

00:29:00.160 We did a pod that was entitled CNN is Hamas's Air Force. 0.82

00:29:03.780 Yeah.

00:29:04.260 So is MSNBC.

00:29:05.900 So is ABC.

00:29:06.800 If you didn't listen to that pod and it's another video one.

00:29:09.440 So as you guys know, we do three audio pods a week.

00:29:13.140 One of them is audio, but it's also video.

00:29:16.000 And so you can get it on YouTube.

00:29:18.000 This one is one of the video ones.

00:29:19.420 And so if you're listening to it, you can actually watch the videos that we're doing

00:29:23.140 on YouTube and you can subscribe on YouTube.

00:29:26.440 But YouTube only gets a third of the episodes.

00:29:28.460 So you want to subscribe to the audio to make sure you get all the content.

00:29:32.200 But the one we did about CNN is Hamas's Air Force was a video one because we played about

00:29:37.360 a dozen different clips showing how the corporate media was willingly, gleefully repeating Hamas 0.68

00:29:47.360 propaganda.

00:29:47.840 And we explained it is part of the strategy of Hamas that they know the corporate media 0.79

00:29:54.300 will repeat their propaganda.

00:29:56.540 Hamas is not strong enough to defeat Israel, but they think Hamas plus the corporate media

00:30:02.520 is, well, the Washington Post has now happily joined CNN as Hamas's Air Force because they 0.91

00:30:08.960 don't want you to know nothing to see here.

00:30:12.080 Democrat members of Congress evacuated in terror from violent Hamas terrorists.

00:30:18.180 Oh, that's kind of an inconvenient narrative.

00:30:19.860 That makes it difficult to spin that Israel is bad.

00:30:23.200 Really hard to say Israel are the bad guys, which is what they want to say.

00:30:27.000 Yeah.

00:30:27.640 If you're admitting Hamas protesters are threatening, are injuring Capitol Police and

00:30:32.960 threatening members of Congress.

00:30:34.340 So what do we do with it?

00:30:35.460 And being funded by Democratic mega donor George Soros.

00:30:38.740 Let's don't forget that because they love the mega donors.

00:30:41.660 So what do we do with it?

00:30:43.560 The media just waves the wand, abracadabra.

00:30:46.440 It never happened.

00:30:47.300 It does not exist.

00:30:49.020 But watch out for those food influencers on TikTok.

00:30:51.860 Okay.

00:30:52.660 That'll really mess you up, right?

00:30:54.420 Food influencers on TikTok.

00:30:54.860 That'll mess you up.

00:30:55.780 Oh, yeah.

00:30:56.520 Yeah.

00:30:56.680 Now, that's journalism is fundamentally broken.

00:31:00.940 And I have to say, by the way, pull up the Washington Post headline again, the front page.

00:31:06.440 So the Washington Post has a slogan that appears on every paper right beneath the title.

00:31:13.900 Yeah.

00:31:14.820 Democracy dies in darkness.

00:31:18.240 Yep.

00:31:18.440 But at this point, the Babylon Bee could not satirize this more because it is clear they want the darkness.

00:31:27.300 They're not going to tell you what happened.

00:31:28.980 And according to their own slogan, that means they're trying to kill democracy.

00:31:34.320 They understand when they have darkness, they're killing democracy.

00:31:37.720 We know they have darkness, which means they're trying to kill democracy, which is why, again, Bill Maher's head exploded when I said the left hates democracy.

00:31:47.400 Unfortunately, it's true, even though they talk about how much they care about democracy, they just don't want to actually want the voters to know what's happening.

00:31:55.440 They want to do everything they can to hide, to cover up, to censor the actual truth.

00:32:00.180 Big headlines.

00:32:01.660 Have you seen them lately?

00:32:02.700 Third highest deficit in history.

00:32:04.800 Another one.

00:32:05.400 Digital dollars sparks uncertainty.

00:32:07.520 And the one that's got everyone concerned, Israel declares war.

00:32:11.520 We're living in an unpredictable world right now, but gold is still gold.

00:32:15.840 It's weathered many storms.

00:32:17.500 Gold gives peace of mind.

00:32:19.560 It's tangible.

00:32:20.400 It's real.

00:32:21.340 It helps me sleep at night as well because I know that I have gold.

00:32:25.860 And I'm a firm believer in gold IRAs.

00:32:28.320 Listen, if you have an IRA or a 401k, it's time that you learn about the benefits of a gold IRA from Augusta Precious Metals.

00:33:32.560 Senator, this week, there was a video that just went viral.

00:33:39.300 Thank goodness conservatives saw it.

00:33:41.940 It should have gone viral on late-night TV because it was just so good.

00:33:46.220 Like, how do you not use this video?

00:33:48.940 And it's of Anthony Blinken sitting there when the president got asked a question about China and China's leader.

00:33:55.980 And it looks like he almost got shot with his face because he knows the question's coming.

00:34:01.560 He doesn't like it.

00:34:02.480 He's terrified of the president's answer.

00:34:04.800 We've got to show it because it's just too good not to.

00:34:06.960 Take a look at this.

00:34:07.660 Mr. President, after today, did you still refer to President Xi as a dictator?

00:34:13.240 This is a term that you used earlier this year.

00:34:16.340 Well, look, he is.

00:34:17.360 I mean, he's a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs a country that is a country that is based on a form of government totally different than ours.

00:34:26.760 I just love – and I want to put this still up there for everybody that's watching this on YouTube.

00:34:33.300 Make sure you go and watch this episode on YouTube.

00:34:35.640 People that are listening right now only with the audio podcast, you've got to go look at this because he is cringing when the question's asked.

00:34:42.660 So let's describe what's happening.

00:34:44.480 So the video, it comes up, and you see Tony Blinken sitting there.

00:34:49.540 And we're going to play the video again in a second.

00:34:51.380 But you see Tony Blinken sitting there, the secretary of state, and they ask Biden whether she is a dictator.

00:34:58.460 And you see Blinken looking towards Biden.

00:35:00.720 He has a look of worry, a look of concern, a look of, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.

00:35:04.540 He's going to say it.

00:35:05.080 He's going to say it.

00:35:05.580 Oh, no, no, no, no.

00:35:06.160 Like you can see this enormous worry.

00:35:10.660 And then when Biden said, well, he is, it is as if –

00:35:15.240 It was like he got punched in the gut.

00:35:16.980 It is as if, like, he winces, he physically winces of, no, don't say it.

00:35:23.480 And so, all right, let's watch the video again.

00:35:26.180 And Blinken, if you don't know if you're watching, he's the third from the left here.

00:35:30.300 Do you still look forward to President Xi as a dictator?

00:35:33.000 This is a term.

00:35:33.720 Xi is worried.

00:35:34.520 He's looking.

00:35:35.000 He's looking.

00:35:35.420 He's worried.

00:35:35.840 He's worried.

00:35:36.180 He's worried.

00:35:36.480 He is.

00:35:37.260 He is.

00:35:37.980 Oh, gosh.

00:35:39.320 He is a guy who runs the country that –

00:35:41.700 It's like watching your sports team lose in the very last play of a game.

00:35:46.260 It's just that pain of this is a – I didn't want this to happen.

00:35:49.860 Well, look, and it's a strange thing.

00:35:51.320 We've talked about how, number one, Tony Blinken doesn't really behave like a secretary of state.

00:35:56.620 He behaves like a staffer.

00:35:58.000 Yeah.

00:35:59.020 He doesn't have the heft.

00:36:00.560 He doesn't have the gravitas of a secretary of state.

00:36:05.000 Even John Kerry, I'll give him credit, on the right didn't win.

00:36:07.800 It's like he just – it was dead straight face, no emotions, don't show emotions in this moment.

00:36:12.260 Right, and it's – look, it's got to be difficult to be a staffer or cabinet member for Joe Biden where you have no idea what he's going to say because he doesn't know what he's saying.

00:36:22.620 I mean you're dealing with someone who is too old and his mental capacities are diminished, and so they're all terrified.

00:36:30.200 Uh-oh, uh-oh, danger, Will Robinson, dangerous question, I don't know.

00:36:34.060 Now, it also says something about Tony Blinken that he winces like that if you ask me is she a dictator, my only difference from what Joe Biden has said is I would say hell yes.

00:36:48.580 Of course he's a dictator.

00:36:49.980 And he knows it too, by the way.

00:37:14.620 He knows it and doesn't care.

00:37:16.260 And he doesn't care because the Democrat Party is structurally pro-China.

00:37:22.900 That's what I describe in the China chapter of my book on Woke.

00:37:26.420 Why is the Democrat Party structurally pro-China?

00:37:29.380 Because their major stakeholders – big business, big tech, big universities, big Hollywood – are all in bed with China. 0.98

00:37:39.160 And so the Democrat Party is terrified of speaking the truth, and Blinken's face said it all, which is, no, no, no, Biden, you're not supposed to say this.

00:37:49.800 And by the way, you have a pattern all the time where Biden says things, they don't know what it is, and then the White House guy tries to walk it back and clean it up and say, no, no, never mind.

00:37:58.980 And that was just the old man talking, we're the cultural Marxist, we set the agenda, we'll tell you what he really meant.

00:38:07.020 And this goes into something else that I have to bring up, and it's something that we've seen on TikTok.

00:38:11.400 Now, if you don't know what TikTok is, we've talked about this before.

00:38:14.160 Quick recap, it's an app that a ton of people use.

00:38:17.960 Especially young people.

00:38:18.960 Especially young people, and China uses it to influence young people specifically.

00:38:26.060 We saw an unbelievable uptick on TikTok, and there's data to back this up, of pro-Hamas videos, pro-Hamas propaganda, anti-Israel propaganda, pro-Palestinian propaganda.

00:38:39.460 A Harvard poll recently came out that said of Americans 18 to 24, 51% believe that Hamas' atrocities could be justified.

00:38:51.260 51%, more than half of young people. 0.97

00:38:53.960 And TikTok is affirmatively pushing this pro-Hamas propaganda, this garbage to young people. 0.88

00:39:00.820 And it has an enormous negative influence, and I want to put on now one video from TikTok that went viral this week that shows just how cancerous. 0.90

00:39:11.680 And it deals with Osama bin Laden, so if you want to understand the context of this.

00:39:15.360 There was, and this clearly is propaganda meant to influence, and there was a letter that Osama bin Laden had put out before,

00:39:23.420 it was, I guess, technically right before 9-11, or justifying the 9-11 attacks, and explaining his thoughts on why he was doing 9-11.

00:39:30.820 But this letter, decades later, has gone viral only on TikTok, go back to propaganda of China, 0.82

00:39:39.440 to influence young people to believe that somehow Osama bin Laden was justified in his 9-11 attack,

00:39:46.200 the same way that they're justifying Hamas' attack on Israel.

00:39:50.760 And this is what Americans are saying about reading this letter for the first time on TikTok.

00:39:57.500 Look.

00:39:57.700 So it starts with a woman, me, when I got the news in 2011 that we got him, and she's celebrating.

00:40:05.240 Then 2023, reading his letter to America, knowing he was right. 0.96

00:40:09.140 Osama bin Laden, that's what they're talking about.

00:40:10.760 Actually, before you even read the letter, I did want to mention, in reading the letter, I could only think of this tweet that I saw the other day.

00:40:17.240 Under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorist because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier.

00:40:25.280 So please keep that in mind when reading the letter.

00:40:27.740 Another young person.

00:40:28.420 We really need to stop paying taxes because they ain't doing nothing but messing up everybody else. 0.93

00:40:35.460 And America is the bully.

00:40:37.520 And it's sad because they have brainwashed us to think that we was the best country on the planet. 0.99

00:40:43.200 When in reality, we're the worst country on the planet.

00:40:46.300 It is just insane because this letter is so well written and so reasonably structured in an argument.

00:40:55.040 Like, you got to present your findings.

00:40:57.580 You got to, you know, you got to state your cause, all that.

00:41:02.880 Like, everything he said was valid.

00:41:06.100 Everything Osama bin Laden said was valid. 1.00

00:41:10.140 The guy before saying, we need to stop paying taxes because Osama bin Laden was right. 1.00

00:41:15.200 And we're the worst country.

00:41:17.000 In the world.

00:41:18.180 Hashtag free Palestine, it's at the bottom.

00:41:20.460 I don't know if you noticed that.

00:41:21.320 Look, this is, all of these are young people.

00:41:25.500 This is on TikTok. 1.00

00:41:27.540 These young people are profoundly ignorant. 1.00

00:41:29.860 They don't know anything. 1.00

00:41:32.020 But they're also, TikTok is deliberately curated.

00:41:37.700 The algorithm is controlled.

00:41:40.060 The recommendation algorithm is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

00:41:44.300 I mentioned the last classified briefing I went to this week, Ben.

00:41:46.880 So the topic of it was social media and disinformation.

00:41:52.420 And so it included a number of folks from the government.

00:41:56.560 This was a joint classified briefing with the Commerce Committee, where I'm the ranking Republican, and the Intelligence Committee.

00:42:03.420 So we met together.

00:42:04.240 And I can't tell you what they said, but I can't tell you the questions I asked, because the questions I asked are not classified.

00:42:11.420 And the question I asked, I said, what evidence do we have specifically that TikTok is affirmatively and deliberately pushing pro-Hamas propaganda?

00:42:20.660 We know that young people are moving dramatically in the direction of Hamas. 0.75

00:42:30.580 And to what extent is the CCP affirmatively doing that?

00:42:33.680 And I'll tell you something.

00:42:34.840 Again, I can't give you their answers, but I will tell you a data point, which is TikTok defends itself by saying it keeps U.S. customer data here in the United States, not in China.

00:42:44.380 Although, under its terms of service, the CCP has a right to access them at any time.

00:42:50.740 You know what it doesn't keep here in the United States?

00:42:53.880 It's recommendation algorithm.

00:42:56.480 So the way TikTok operates, you're looking at TikTok, you watch a video, and then it suggests to you, hey, Ben, you would like this video.

00:43:05.060 Based on what you've seen before.

00:43:06.400 So if you're looking at golf videos or tennis videos or football videos, you would assume they would keep you in the same type of algorithm.

00:43:12.740 Well, a recommendation algorithm is one of the most potent tools social media has to drive content, to suppress content or to drive content.

00:43:23.460 And if you're engaged in propaganda, the recommendation algorithm is your most potent tool for it.

00:43:30.540 The recommendation algorithm is not housed in the United States.

00:43:33.640 It's housed in China.

00:43:34.580 And China just recently passed a law that defined TikTok's recommendation algorithm as a, quote, national asset.

00:43:45.320 Makes sense.

00:43:46.300 It is an asset of China.

00:43:47.920 And they have developed a global propaganda tool that in particular targets American young people.

00:43:54.460 And so they can decide on any given day what message do we want to put to young people.

00:43:59.780 They can just on a Tuesday say, let's just push messages that hurt American young people.

00:44:05.240 So let's push to young girls and teenage girls body image problems and push anorexia and eating disorders. 0.70

00:44:12.700 And let's push self-harm.

00:44:14.580 Let's push cutting.

00:44:15.440 Let's push suicide.

00:44:16.740 Let's push drug use.

00:44:18.000 Let's push all sorts of things that will just hurt young people.

00:44:21.640 And they do that tragically every day.

00:44:25.180 But they can also decide politically, OK, we don't want the United States exploring for oil and gas. 0.81

00:44:30.700 So let's push Green New Deal garbage to tell them, go stop fracking. 0.99

00:44:35.020 Go stop this. 0.99

00:44:35.880 Go stop this.

00:44:36.920 Be dependent on Iran. 0.99

00:44:39.040 Be dependent on Russia. 0.89

00:44:40.140 Be dependent on Venezuela. 0.88

00:44:41.560 Be dependent on our enemies for oil and gas.

00:44:44.040 They can push that message to young people.

00:44:46.020 Or if they just want to push pro-Hamas propaganda, they can.

00:44:53.080 In this instance, you have young people.

00:44:55.700 And this went viral to a level of millions and millions and millions of millions of impressions.

00:45:00.040 Over 14 million last I saw.

00:45:01.760 Yeah.

00:45:02.000 And that's just people that were posting their own videos after reading this letter that came out of nowhere from 2001 from Osama bin Laden.

00:45:11.020 And the majority of it was all positive towards Osama bin Laden.

00:45:14.560 And you've got to understand why.

00:45:16.160 I mean, this is something, as you know, I'm at the tail end of a two-week book tour.

00:45:20.800 So I've been, I think I've done 77 media interviews in the last two weeks on the new book on Woke.

00:45:26.940 I've been talking about this a lot because particularly people of the left are confused.

00:45:32.560 Why is there such vicious anti-Semitism among the left?

00:45:37.900 Yeah.

00:45:38.000 And I want to, let's pull this up again.

00:45:40.520 I want to pull it up and freeze it midway through because it really does explain it profoundly.

00:45:48.700 Okay.

00:45:49.160 So this is the first woman on the second person.

00:45:51.260 Just freeze it when the second person comes up.

00:45:54.020 Okay.

00:45:54.500 Freeze it right here.

00:45:56.080 All right.

00:45:56.980 So this is a TikToker.

00:45:59.060 And it's kind of a young hipster wearing like, I don't know, a shower cap of some kind with pearls.

00:46:05.120 He's going swimming afterwards, right?

00:46:06.640 I don't know.

00:46:08.100 But this is important.

00:46:10.160 So I've been explaining, and the book Unwoke explains this at depth.

00:46:15.060 So Marxism is the doctrine enunciated by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto that explains, views the world as a fundamental conflict between oppressors and victims.

00:46:26.520 Marx put it in socioeconomic terms.

00:46:28.240 So the oppressors were the owners of capital.

00:46:30.380 The victims were the proletariat, the working men and women. 1.00

00:46:33.320 The solution Marx advocated was violent revolution by the proletariat overthrowing the oppressors.

00:46:43.020 I describe in the book Unwoke how Marxists infiltrated the universities in the 1960s and 70s, and then that doctrine mutated.

00:46:52.880 It mutated to critical race theory, which has the same basic frame, the Marxist frame of oppressor and victim.

00:46:58.980 But instead of socioeconomic, it's race.

00:47:02.000 So there are oppressor races and victim races.

00:47:04.880 I described how it mutated to be gender and gender identity and sexual orientation.

00:47:09.980 Same idea of oppressor and victim.

00:47:12.160 And the idea is violence, revolution, anything is justified if it is the victim overthrowing the oppressor.

00:47:19.440 Now, this TikTok video, the text of the tweet he has says,

00:47:24.900 under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorism

00:47:31.580 because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier.

00:47:37.200 That is straight up Marxism.

00:47:39.140 Yeah.

00:47:39.300 And it is explaining why, as I told this left-leaning tech executive,

00:47:44.820 the reason the left is celebrating Hamas is they have defined Jews as oppressors.

00:47:52.220 They have defined Hamas as victims.

00:47:55.860 And so they're in favor of violence by the victims against the oppressors.

00:48:00.820 And that includes mass murder, that includes targeting civilians, that includes murdering elderly people,

00:48:06.620 that includes raping women and little girls in the public streets, that includes slaughtering infants, 0.71

00:48:12.620 that includes, as we discussed, literally putting a baby in an oven. 0.99

00:48:21.300 Yeah. 1.00

00:48:21.520 And raping that baby's mother while the baby cooks to death. 1.00

00:48:29.480 And the mother is being raped and listening to her infant die in an oven being cooked to death. 1.00

00:48:38.380 Now, that is unmitigated evil. 0.99

00:48:40.380 That is Nazi. 0.54

00:48:42.240 Like, that is a level of grotesque evil that defies words. 1.00

00:48:48.120 And yet, to the cultural Marxists and to these young, idealistic imbeciles, 1.00

00:48:55.340 they're cheering for the terrorists. 1.00

00:48:57.640 Why?

00:48:58.280 Because it says here, well, under settler colonialism, and mind you, in their mind, 0.88

00:49:02.280 it's the Jews that are the bad settler colonialists. 1.00

00:49:06.300 Any kind of resistance. 0.96

00:49:08.600 So, you know, baking a baby in an oven, that's a kind of resistance.

00:49:12.900 Is branded as terrorist.

00:49:15.120 Well, no, terrorism is targeting civilians.

00:49:17.160 I've got to say, slaughtering infants qualifies as terrorism.

00:49:20.920 Because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier.

00:49:26.940 The reason these young people are so susceptible to this TikTok propaganda

00:49:32.040 is because cultural Marxism has been taught to them from the womb,

00:49:38.440 has been taught to them in kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth grade,

00:49:42.520 all the way through school, has been taught to them in college,

00:49:45.780 which has been taught to them through social media,

00:49:48.200 has been taught to them through entertainment.

00:49:50.120 They're told, once we say someone is the victim and someone is the oppressor,

00:49:55.440 we cheer for violence, for any horrible evil against the oppressor,

00:50:01.680 because that's the Marxist revolution we support.

00:50:04.540 It's truly incredible.
