Verdict with Ted Cruz - ICC wants the Cuffs Thrown on Bibi, Rocket Ships w Elon & Bragg Ignores the Law Week In Review

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.

00:00:04.340 Welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz.

00:00:06.560 The Week in Review.

00:00:08.260 Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.520 And we had a very busy week with some top stories that maybe you missed.

00:00:13.920 Well, let's start first with the shocking news that the ICC wants to arrest Benjamin Netanyahu.

00:00:21.620 We'll give you the latest on this radical move by the ICC

00:00:25.020 and what it means moving forward and how the Trump administration will respond.

00:00:30.000 Also, Senator Cruz and Elon Musk, they were together with President Trump watching this SpaceX launch.

00:00:37.280 Senator Cruz actually flew with President Trump on Trump Force One

00:00:40.840 and learned a lot about his cabinet and his administration.

00:00:44.460 He'll give you all those behind-the-scenes details.

00:00:47.060 It's really interesting.

00:00:48.300 And finally, Alvin Bragg going rogue yet again,

00:00:51.920 trying to manipulate the courts into hitting pause on the Trump prosecution for four years

00:00:59.640 until after he leaves the presidency.

00:01:02.220 We'll give you the details behind that.

00:01:04.360 It is the Week in Review, and it starts right now.

00:01:07.840 Senator, I want to pull an audible real quick because I should have mentioned this earlier,

00:01:11.900 but as we were just talking about Israel, the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu and Gallant,

00:01:21.080 and they also, they're like, oh yeah, we threw in a Hamas guy too,

00:01:24.780 so it looks like we're being equal here.

00:01:26.880 This is a shocking attack by the ICC on Netanyahu,

00:01:32.100 and also one that makes it very tough for him to travel more than likely the way he needs to

00:01:39.660 because of the threat of being arrested, for example, if he is traveling to many parts of Europe.

00:01:44.120 Well, it is an absolute outrage, and the ICC already had very, very questionable legitimacy,

00:01:52.440 but with this decision, the International Criminal Court has just become a kangaroo court,

00:01:58.600 and frankly, that's not fair to kangaroos.

00:02:00.740 I mean, it is an absolute, this is a political act of anti-Israel hatred

00:02:08.140 and anti-Semitism that sadly infests so many of our international institutions.

00:02:15.080 That just hate Israel profoundly, and I believe the United States, 0.79

00:02:21.480 we should impose sanctions on every individual involved in issuing this arrest warrant,

00:02:27.140 from the prosecutor to the judges to everyone involved.

00:02:30.220 They should be sanctioned by the United States government.

00:02:32.760 We should also make clear that we will sanction anyone who attempts to enforce this arrest warrant.

00:02:38.800 If you're a French prosecutor, be prepared to have American sanctions put on you.

00:02:43.580 If you try to enforce this utterly lawless arrest warrant,

00:02:51.360 and understand the reason that the ICC did this is because of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's incredible weakness.

00:02:59.320 Listen, the ICC has no jurisdiction over Israel.

00:03:02.620 Israel is not a party to the ICC.

00:03:04.780 It also has no jurisdiction over the United States of America.

00:03:07.520 And understand, this is a threat not just against Israel, although it is very much that, 0.88

00:03:12.960 but this is a threat against America.

00:03:14.800 This is a threat against the people who hate America.

00:03:17.760 Imagine these same bigots who hate Israel,

00:03:20.800 how much they would love to issue an arrest warrant for Donald Trump,

00:03:24.680 or for the Secretary of State or the Secretary of Defense of the United States.

00:03:28.360 And it is only because Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are so weak that the ICC felt empowered to issue this.

00:03:35.340 It's not an accident that this came out after the presidential election,

00:03:39.860 but before Trump was sworn in.

00:03:41.580 That is when the enemies of Israel and the enemies of America historically have done some of the worst actions

00:03:47.880 against the United States and against Israel.

00:03:51.660 It is when, if you remember, at the end of Obama, the last time we were in this comparable moment,

00:03:59.060 which is a Democratic administration was ending and Donald Trump was getting ready to be sworn in as president.

00:04:06.360 That would have been November and December of 2016, right after the election.

00:04:10.000 Obama was leaving.

00:04:11.360 And remember what the Obama administration did.

00:04:14.240 They orchestrated U.N. Resolution 2334, which is one of the most shameful resolutions ever to be voted on in the United Nations.

00:04:24.340 And the Obama administration, this resolution denounced much of modern Israel as illegitimate and illegally occupied.

00:04:33.960 It denounced the Jewish quarter of Jerusalem as illegitimate and illegally occupied.

00:04:39.380 It denounced the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem as illegally occupied and illegitimate.

00:04:45.200 And what happened is the Obama State Department orchestrated it.

00:04:50.340 They got others to push it.

00:04:52.080 And they just stood back and abstained.

00:04:54.780 And I will tell you this week, I had a classified briefing with Tony Blinken, the secretary of state.

00:04:59.900 And I asked him very directly in that briefing.

00:05:02.240 Is the Biden administration going to do the same thing?

00:05:07.900 Because last time y'all did that, it profoundly hurt Israel.

00:05:13.500 It was used by the enemies of Israel to justify all sorts of targeting against the people of Israel.

00:05:20.480 And I'm very concerned the Biden administration is going to try to orchestrate something similar at the United Nations.

00:05:27.200 We had a vote this week that actually the Biden administration blocked, to their credit, where the UN was trying to call for an immediate ceasefire of the war against Hamas.

00:05:37.960 But they did not include within it a demand that the hostages be released.

00:05:42.440 And the Biden administration vetoed it without the hostages being released as part of the language.

00:05:48.460 But I'm worried in the next two months that they will try to do something very similar to what happened in December of 2016 with 2334.

00:05:59.860 And I think that this ICC arrest warrant is shameful.

00:06:04.560 I also think the incoming Trump administration is going to stand very strongly against this absolutely disgraceful decision.

00:06:12.420 Thune came out and threatened the International Criminal Court with sanctions if it doesn't drop the Netanyahu warrant for arrest.

00:06:17.920 But he also called on Schumer to not wait for the Republicans to get in charge to do the right thing and to do something now on this.

00:06:27.500 He said if Majority Leader Schumer does not act, the Senate Republicans' majority will stand with our key ally Israel and make this and other supportive legislation a top priority in the next Congress.

00:06:40.180 Is there a chance that Schumer could actually lead on this as Thune called on him to do and said, don't make us wait till January, do the right thing now for Israel?

00:06:50.020 I think the chances are virtually zero.

00:06:53.380 So the House has passed legislation to do exactly that.

00:06:57.620 And Schumer has refused to take it up.

00:06:59.720 The Senate Foreign Relations Committee, we have had legislation before us from Jim Risch, who's getting ready to be the Republican chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, to do exactly that, to sanction the ICC for doing this.

00:07:11.520 And the Democrats have refused to take it up.

00:07:14.140 It's basically shut down the Foreign Relations Committee for the last six months because the Democrats have blocked legislation standing up to the ICC.

00:07:23.100 And look, this is the unfortunate reality that in today's Democrat Party, there is a pro-Hamas faction of the Democrat Party.

00:07:35.600 And I don't think that is hyperbole.

00:07:37.160 It is tragically the case.

00:07:38.780 They are the ones cheering.

00:07:40.300 We just had votes this week that Bernie Sanders pushed on the floor to cut off weapons to Israel, to cut off 32,000 tank rounds to Israel, to cut off over 50,000 mortar cartridges to Israel, to cut off the kits that are used to make precision bombs.

00:07:59.360 Now, understand, the argument of the leftists is that when Israel is bombing Hamas or Hezbollah, they accidentally have incidental civilian casualties.

00:08:10.660 So what is their response?

00:08:12.560 Take away the ability to have targeted smart bombs so they can only drop dumb bombs that they can't steer.

00:08:17.820 The difference, a precision bomb, you can direct it so you hit your target, and it's much less likely to have collateral damage.

00:08:24.300 These leftists hate Israel so much they want to say, no, let's take away your ability to target your weapons so we increase the number of civilians killed.

00:08:33.580 And 19 Senate Democrats voted to cut off Israel's funds.

00:08:38.260 That pro-Hamas faction of the Democrat Party, not every Democrat in the House and Senate is a member of it, but just about every single Democrat is terrified of that faction.

00:08:49.300 And it's why Schumer, look, the internal notes from Columbia University, when Columbia was having the anti-Semitic protest and the leaders of Columbia were talking to Schumer, Schumer told them, don't worry about it.

00:09:03.800 The Democrats, we don't care.

00:09:05.120 It's only the Republicans who care about this.

00:09:07.300 Understand what that admission was, and that was out of Schumer's own mouth, that we, the Democrats, don't care about violent anti-Semites terrorizing students in Columbia University and other universities, threatening Jewish students.

00:09:22.980 It's not a priority for them.

00:09:25.220 Why?

00:09:25.620 Because they're terrified by the pro-Hamas faction of the party who supports the radicals and the anti-Semites.

00:09:32.520 That is tragically where we are, and so I'm going to predict we will take up the legislation to sanction the ICC, and we will do it early next year when we have a Republican Congress and a Republican president.

00:09:45.980 I don't even know that we'll need that legislation, though, because I expect the Trump administration to act unilaterally.

00:09:52.100 I think there's ample authority under the law for them to act, even if the Democrats filibuster legislation to sanction the ICC.

00:09:59.480 I think the president will have ample authority to act come January 20.

00:10:03.640 Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.

00:10:10.780 Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected leaders, and the world around them. 0.98

00:10:17.020 And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.

00:10:20.340 Next, I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:10:21.980 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:10:23.260 And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.

00:10:32.680 So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.

00:10:35.920 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:10:39.980 Now, on to story number two.

00:10:44.400 As we were watching, or I was watching on TV and many others were, I do have to say one of the most fun parts for me of watching, you know, Trump and you and everybody there is just the boyhood excitement.

00:10:57.420 And I say that in the most sincere and authentic way ever, on the faces of everyone that was able to watch this.

00:11:06.400 I don't care who you are, just getting to watch it and to see Elon's face and your face and President Trump's face and others that were around you guys.

00:11:14.860 I saw Hagerty there, for example.

00:11:16.800 It was just the moment of like, this is unbelievable.

00:11:19.860 Well, and it was traveling, so the Starship itself traveled halfway around the world.

00:11:27.640 The booster separated, we saw the booster separate, and initially the plan was that it was going to go down and be caught by the robot arms where it had been launched.

00:11:38.260 And in fact, it separates, so the booster was attached to the Starship for a minute and a half, and then it separated.

00:11:44.260 And we initially got the call, catch as a go, which we were excited about, because they only try to catch it if all the conditions are right.

00:11:52.300 And so they were going to catch the booster.

00:11:54.660 And then they ended up altering the plan and not doing the catch, but having it instead land in the Gulf of Mexico.

00:12:01.360 And so the conditions were slightly off, and so they had it land in the Gulf.

00:12:04.840 But Elon was really happy because it landed in the Gulf, but it did not explode.

00:12:10.080 And last time when it landed in the Gulf, it did explode.

00:12:12.400 And so, look, they're testing different things to see what happens.

00:12:15.700 And it was interesting.

00:12:16.820 It floats in the water.

00:12:18.100 I was asking Elon, why does it float?

00:12:19.720 He says, well, look, once the liquid methane and liquid oxygen is out, he said it has the density, essentially, of an empty beer can.

00:12:28.600 And so just like you throw an empty beer can on the water and it floats, that's the same thing as the booster.

00:12:33.920 And so they're going and salvaging the booster and discovering, okay, what happened?

00:12:39.140 What's going on there?

00:12:40.220 So that landed pretty quickly.

00:12:42.400 The Starship traveled for about an hour, and it landed, I think, about 600 miles.

00:12:48.700 And then did you guys go inside?

00:12:50.220 Or after, how long were you outside?

00:12:52.280 And then where did you get to watch the second part?

00:12:53.920 So we were outside.

00:12:57.940 We arrived probably an hour before the launch.

00:13:00.220 And so we were talking with Elon, and we were in the control room and just having conversations.

00:13:05.500 And we watched the launch, and we watched the booster separate, and then we watched the booster come down, although we couldn't see.

00:13:13.160 The booster landed far enough out in the Gulf that we couldn't see with our naked eye the booster landing in the water.

00:13:18.640 But we had the video on a big screen, so we were watching it there.

00:13:21.820 And then what we did, because you had about an hour while the Starship was traveling in space, and it was going about 26,000 kilometers an hour.

00:13:31.880 It was about 160 kilometers above planet Earth.

00:13:34.380 One of the things Elon said is that the Starship was traveling about 10 times the speed of a bullet out of an assault rifle, which there's an analogy you can understand, Dan.

00:13:47.140 And it's funny, Doug Jr. was laughing, going, all right, that makes sense to me, too.

00:13:51.040 But that's fast.

00:13:52.660 Yeah, that's fast on a whole other level.

00:13:55.700 And so you got to watch all of this take place.

00:13:58.620 How important is this, just this technology and the fact that it's being done in Texas?

00:14:04.340 Because that is the reason why you were on that plane.

00:14:07.600 That's why they asked you to go down there, because this is in Texas.

00:14:11.540 I don't think people realize what this is doing for the Texas economy as well.

00:14:16.880 So it is incredible.

00:14:18.680 And while the Starship was flying halfway around the world, we left the launch observation site.

00:14:24.820 We went to the factory, which is right at the launch site.

00:14:29.680 Now, the factory, so five years ago, this was essentially an empty beach, like just sand and nothing was on it.

00:14:38.180 And in five years, Elon has built this incredible, and I've been to it before, I've toured it before, but it is, it takes your breath away.

00:14:47.780 They are manufacturing about one rocket ship a month.

00:14:52.100 And then these things are massive.

00:14:53.960 So you go into the factory, and they're, I think it was 22 stories high is how tall the booster is.

00:14:59.860 I mean, it just goes up and up and up and up, and it's huge.

00:15:04.600 And, you know, we went in and saw, and they are manufacturing them to a level of precision down to the tenth of a millimeter.

00:15:12.100 I mean, you think about this.

00:15:13.080 It's not like, it's not like SpaceX is making just widgets. 0.99

00:15:16.780 I mean, if a screw is wrong, the damn thing can blow up. 0.59

00:15:20.400 Like, there's so many ways for something to go wrong. 0.98

00:15:26.180 And they have a level of precision that is just astonishing.

00:15:31.980 And so we went in and saw and toured, and one of the things Elon said is, look, they're doing launch after launch after launch.

00:15:39.100 And every one, they're improving the technology, and they're trying different things.

00:15:41.920 So one of the things they did on this one is they're testing different angles of reentry to see, okay, if you angle the Starship at a slightly different angle, is there more heat?

00:15:54.380 Is there less heat?

00:15:55.360 What happens?

00:15:56.560 You know, what's the optimum angle?

00:15:58.660 So they're trying all sorts of different things.

00:16:00.400 And so we toured those facilities.

00:16:03.600 By the way, they, like, basically built a whole town.

00:16:06.780 They built housing for the employees.

00:16:09.580 One of the things Elon said that, you know, is a challenge when you're recruiting the best engineers and rocket scientists, and they're literally rocket scientists, is he said, you've got to find a place that their significant others want to live.

00:16:22.180 And so they basically built a whole community with, like, houses all around there, and, like, I didn't go this time, but I've been previously.

00:16:29.620 They have, like, a little tiki bar that's sort of a club that the employees can go and hang out.

00:16:35.900 And, you know, he said, look, you have to create an environment that both your incredibly skilled employees and their significant others want to be in.

00:16:45.600 And one thing you know, but not every verdict listener may know, look, Brownsville has historically been, faced very significant economic challenges.

00:16:57.480 And so to have this incredible high-tech billions and billions of dollars invested in Brownsville and in deep south Texas and the Rio Grande Valley was really significant.

00:17:10.300 By the way, when we took the motorcade from where Trump Force One landed to the launch site, the entire roadside of driving along, there were thousands of people waving signs, waving American flags, cheering.

00:17:26.060 And one of the most significant aspects of this election in Texas is that both Donald Trump and I, both of us, won Hispanics in the state of Texas.

00:17:37.580 I won Hispanics by six points statewide.

00:17:40.880 That's unprecedented.

00:17:42.480 And the Rio Grande Valley, south Texas, has been bright blue for 100 years.

00:17:48.540 It has been just an absolute bastion of the Democrat Party.

00:17:53.700 And this election, south Texas flipped red.

00:17:57.860 I mean, Star County had a 50-point move.

00:18:01.860 It's the most Hispanic county in America.

00:18:04.220 And it had a massive move.

00:18:07.340 Trump won it.

00:18:08.440 The move in south Texas, I think, is generational and transformational.

00:18:12.800 And you could just see it as people were cheering and thrilled the president was there.

00:18:18.020 That was a very cool aspect of it as well.

00:18:20.180 All right, final question on this trip.

00:18:21.940 So you get done with all this excitement.

00:18:24.240 And then, this is still kind of awesome, you get back on Trump Force One and you fly back to Florida.

00:18:31.100 But what was the conversation like on the way home?

00:18:34.860 Again, it was relaxed.

00:18:36.400 We're having fun.

00:18:37.560 We're talking.

00:18:38.840 You know, we had Fox on.

00:18:40.860 And so we're watching Jesse Waters, Laura Ingram, and Hannity.

00:18:44.020 We're talking about all that and just sort of riffing back and forth.

00:18:47.680 You know, as we were landing, Trump began playing music.

00:18:53.360 And so when he's down at Mar-a-Lago, Trump likes to basically be the DJ.

00:18:56.820 And he has an iPad there that he controls the music at Mar-a-Lago.

00:19:00.580 And he'll sit there at the table and just play the songs he wants to listen to.

00:19:03.200 And so as we were landing in Palm Beach, he put on Guns N' Roses, a music video that he loves from Guns N' Roses.

00:19:12.540 And then he put on another music video from Pavarotti.

00:19:15.640 You want to talk about some breadth in music taste?

00:19:19.780 That's what we were listening to as we went wheels down back in Florida.

00:19:24.720 Now, did you eat any McDonald's?

00:19:26.320 Because there's a lot of pictures that get taken on Trump Force One eating McDonald's.

00:19:30.460 We did not. 0.99

00:19:31.180 Our dinner instead was Whataburger because we were in Texas, damn it. 0.99

00:19:35.240 I love it. 0.98

00:19:35.940 See, I set you up perfect for that answer.

00:19:38.120 You didn't even know the answer to that, did you?

00:19:40.100 I know, but I set you up there perfectly.

00:19:42.340 So what did he say about Whataburger compared to McDonald's?

00:19:44.840 Was it a no-brainer for him?

00:19:46.140 He was like, this is a really good hamburger.

00:19:48.540 Wow, this is really great.

00:19:49.840 I mean, he was, I would say he was a fan.

00:19:53.640 As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic,

00:19:57.620 you can go back and download the podcast from early this week to hear the entire thing.

00:20:27.960 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:20:33.700 I want to get back to the big story number three of the week you may have missed.

00:20:38.440 All right, I want to ask you lastly about big news that happened.

00:20:42.780 And this is much more of a serious topic.

00:20:45.520 Trump team is declaring victory after the Manhattan prosecutors pushed for a four-year freeze on sentencing Donald Trump in his business records case.

00:20:57.980 I've never heard of this before in my life.

00:21:00.460 Maybe this is something that's normal.

00:21:02.620 And Alvin Bragg is upset.

00:21:04.340 He's like, no, no, I still want to go after Donald Trump.

00:21:06.860 You're going to delay it?

00:21:07.860 We'll delay it.

00:21:08.400 But I want him.

00:21:09.080 I still want him.

00:21:09.840 I still believe I'm right.

00:21:10.800 I still want to put him in jail.

00:21:12.020 Well, President Trump has filed a motion to dismiss his criminal conviction.

00:21:17.800 And the Manhattan prosecutor, instead of agreeing to that, has suggested to the judge, no, no, no, don't dismiss it.

00:21:24.880 Just put it on hold for four years.

00:21:27.180 Just freeze it.

00:21:28.000 Don't sentence him.

00:21:29.440 Just leave the conviction hanging out there.

00:21:31.780 And I've got to say, look, unprecedented doesn't begin to describe it.

00:21:36.040 It is an absolute abuse of power.

00:21:38.180 And look, you've got to understand, Alvin Bragg is an elected Democrat in Manhattan.

00:21:44.500 In Manhattan, you've still got an overwhelming majority of Democrats, many of whom hate Donald Trump's guts.

00:21:51.480 And so for Alvin Bragg, even though politically, nationally, the persecution and lawfare of Donald Trump, I think, actually played a significant factor in his winning.

00:22:02.500 And that was a point I made to him on the flight is that I said, we talked quite a bit about all the cases and everything he's endured.

00:22:09.220 And I said, look, ironically, the more they went after you, the more I think it helped you.

00:22:14.060 And if it had been just one indictment, it might have been more harmful.

00:22:17.420 But there were so many that it became obvious to anyone that this was just a persecution.

00:22:23.040 This was a political witch hunt.

00:22:25.760 This was a partisan effort to go after someone because they were terrified that what would happen is what in fact did happen, that the American people would vote to reelect him.

00:22:36.420 And I think, as I said, it ended up boosting him significantly in the polls.

00:22:42.360 Well, even though it, I think, was harmful to Democrats nationally, in Manhattan, I suspect it's quite helpful to Alvin Bragg because there are a lot of partisans who hate Trump.

00:22:54.300 And I've got to say, I am very hopeful, you know, that this will be thrown out.

00:23:02.560 The judge, Juan Merchan, has demonstrated, I think, a lot of bias.

00:23:07.920 He is a partisan Democrat as well.

00:23:10.780 It will be interesting to see what he does because I think if he agrees with the prosecutor, if he says, OK, we're going to just put this on ice for four years, I think that will prompt an appeal.

00:23:27.420 It will probably prompt what's called a writ of mandamus to an appellate court to order either the case dismissed or to order him to rule, because what Alvin Bragg wants to do is he wants to run for reelection, saying, I prosecuted Donald Trump.

00:23:43.640 I got a conviction of Donald Trump.

00:23:45.260 And to use it, number one, for his political advantage.

00:23:48.920 Number two, he wants to avoid an appellate reversal.

00:23:51.160 So he wants four years of the appellate courts not examining the many and the rampant legal errors in his rulings.

00:23:59.820 But number three, he wants to use this to threaten the president, to have it hang over.

00:24:05.360 And this guy's enough of a zealot that, I mean, he's literally talking about, OK, four plus years from now when he's done with being president, he's 82 years old.

00:24:14.240 Alvin Bragg wants to put him in jail, like it just to be there to threaten the president every day.

00:24:19.980 And by the way, number four, he wants CNN and MSNBC and all of the corporate media to refer to him as a convicted felon over and over and over again.

00:24:28.320 And if the case is thrown out, that becomes a lot more problematic.

00:24:33.600 I do not believe Alvin Bragg will succeed in this.

00:24:36.860 Either the trial judge will say, look, this is not tenable.

00:24:40.720 You can't you can't have a jury verdict and then just free sentencing for four years.

00:24:45.980 Or if not, I think we will see an appellate court step in and say that this is inconsistent with New York law and is inconsistent with the Constitution.

00:24:55.780 I'm very hopeful that's what will happen.

00:24:58.180 Senator, finally, I want to hit something else that is I have to admit, I am enjoying this watching the liberal media meltdown.

00:25:05.740 The View had an all time meltdown about Donald Trump's win.

00:25:10.660 Joy Behar on The View said this to the audience.

00:25:15.220 Take a listen.

00:25:16.260 You know what's in the air, Whoopi?

00:25:17.800 What's Trumpism?

00:25:19.000 We lost the election.

00:25:20.320 Wait a minute.

00:25:21.020 We lost the election. 0.98

00:25:22.620 We're miserable. 0.98

00:25:23.600 Half of this country is miserable. 0.96

00:25:25.580 And let's just tell the truth. 0.55

00:25:27.040 We hate that he won.

00:25:28.820 We hate it. 0.98

00:25:29.360 I mean, I know we're all like Nazis and I know that we're all deplorables and I know that we're all floating garbage, but you would think they would have learned from losing an election and clearly they're not. 0.95

00:25:45.220 Look, I got to say, if Joy Behar is crying on TV and is miserable and is unhappy, that's a good day for America because her radical and extreme ideas, they're hurting the country. 0.94

00:26:01.220 And, you know, that may be the most honest thing she's ever said on The View because she is a hard leftist.

00:26:08.300 And notice she's learned nothing.

00:26:11.560 She's listened to nothing.

00:26:12.700 There's no part – nobody on that show has stopped to say, wait, why did the American people overwhelmingly reject our disastrous policy agenda?

00:26:22.620 They're not asking that. 1.00

00:26:23.860 They're just mad at what they view as the idiot voters. 1.00

00:26:29.560 And listen, that's an arrogance that we see in elected Democrats. 1.00

00:26:33.100 It's an arrogance we see throughout the corporate media.

00:26:35.360 And I think it's going to fuel their doubling down and getting, if anything, even more extreme.
