00:00:42.560 It keeps getting worse. 0.98

00:00:47.740 to these instances of violence and anti-Semitism 0.88

00:00:50.900 that sadly the radicals and his party support.

00:00:54.200 You guys know that I do this show a lot of times very late at night

00:00:58.140 and then I get up in the morning and I do a radio show at 7 a.m.

00:01:01.160 And having a fabulous cup of coffee is incredibly important.

00:01:06.140 I do not like average coffee.

00:01:08.460 I want a premium cup of coffee.

00:01:10.320 And I also don't want to be giving my money to woke coffee companies. 0.85

00:02:24.960 Now, Senator, before we get into the vote,

00:02:27.140 I have a surprise for you

00:02:28.520 and I know you're going to be excited about this.

00:02:30.680 Okay?

00:02:31.100 You got to,

00:02:31.500 and this is headlines now.

00:02:34.900 National Enquirer has come out in the court case in New York

00:02:38.460 and admitted they made up the story, Senator,

00:02:41.380 about your father.

00:02:43.440 Yes, Ted Cruz's father linked to the JFK assassination.

00:02:46.720 They're admitting they made it all up.

00:02:48.320 I want everybody to hear from you first on that.

00:02:51.420 Well, look,

00:02:52.240 just because the National Enquirer made up

00:02:54.760 that my father played a part in killing Kennedy

00:02:57.960 doesn't mean that he didn't secretly play a part in killing Kennedy.

00:03:01.540 I'm just saying that they haven't proven a negative,

00:03:05.100 although they did admit they doctored the photograph

00:03:07.480 and, like, basically mashed two photos

00:03:10.380 to create literally the very embodiment of fake news.

00:03:14.120 And I got to say,

00:03:15.100 my favorite response on this whole issue

00:03:17.400 was something Marco Rubio said at a set at lunch 0.99

00:03:20.920 shortly after this idiotic story broke 1.00

00:03:23.040 where Marco stood up and he said, 0.99

00:03:25.340 look, I need all of y'all to know

00:03:27.060 that I know for a fact

00:03:29.380 this story about Ted's dad is a lie.

00:03:33.280 And Marco's explanation,

00:03:34.980 he said it has to be a lie

00:03:36.460 because if a Cuban had done that,

00:03:39.000 he would have told everybody.

00:03:41.440 And so I appreciated Marco coming to my dad's defense.

00:03:45.160 I love this.

00:03:46.120 I hope you frame this for your father

00:03:48.300 because it's hysterical

00:03:49.720 and you should put it side by side

00:03:51.480 and give it to him for Father's Day

00:03:52.980 because it's just amazing.

00:03:54.460 It is official.

00:03:55.380 The National Enquirer made up the story

00:03:57.140 about your father.

00:03:58.400 Yeah, I got to say,

00:04:00.400 does that mean that Elvis

00:04:01.980 is not working at a Walmart in Idaho?

00:04:05.160 There is a chance.

00:04:07.040 There is a chance.

00:04:07.840 But they haven't confirmed that yet,

00:04:09.400 so let's not jump to conclusions here.

00:04:11.380 We'll get fact-checked on that one.

00:04:13.000 But congrats to your dad.

00:04:13.680 And the aliens are real.

00:04:15.180 The space aliens are real, yes.

00:04:16.700 See, I'm no longer afraid of your dad.

00:04:18.500 Like, we hang out.

00:04:19.280 I've always been a little nervous.

00:04:20.560 Now I know he's just really a nice guy and a pastor.

00:04:22.600 Just watch your P's and Q's.

00:04:24.700 I love it.

00:04:25.300 All right, let's get into this vote in Washington.

00:04:28.180 And explain for everyone listening,

00:04:31.500 this came out of the House.

00:04:33.020 It was a big fight.

00:04:34.580 There is a very divided,

00:04:36.480 I think, conservative mindset on this.

00:04:39.860 I have a lot of friends

00:04:41.200 that are very upset about this.

00:04:42.740 I have others that say

00:04:43.960 it's important that we fund Israel

00:04:46.920 and other things.

00:04:48.080 This then came to the Senate.

00:04:50.400 Walk us through the mindset

00:04:51.840 of not only you,

00:04:53.380 but also other Republicans

00:04:54.580 that are saying

00:04:55.380 this is something that needed to get done

00:04:56.980 and that's why we passed it.

00:04:58.860 Well, listen,

00:04:59.360 this is a bill, number one.

00:05:00.640 The House struggled mightily

00:05:02.600 to vote out.

00:05:03.880 It was a huge battle.

00:05:05.080 There were lots of pieces there

00:05:06.140 that they agonized on

00:05:07.940 and ultimately voted it out.

00:05:10.080 Before the Senate,

00:05:11.800 listen,

00:05:12.100 I struggled with this vote.

00:05:13.420 I struggled with this vote

00:05:14.760 as much as any vote

00:05:15.660 I've ever cast in the Senate.

00:05:16.980 And the reason is

00:05:18.280 there are elements in this bill

00:05:20.200 that I very strongly support.

00:05:22.880 And there are elements in this bill

00:05:24.520 that I really dislike.

00:05:26.700 And sometimes you have legislation

00:05:28.780 that combines good and bad

00:05:31.360 and you've got a way,

00:05:32.860 okay, does the bad outweigh the good?

00:05:35.360 And in this case,

00:05:36.880 I found a very difficult decision.

00:05:40.340 I spent hours and hours

00:05:41.820 thinking through the pros and cons

00:05:43.380 and what the right principled approach was.

00:05:46.060 Let me tell you what's good

00:05:46.920 about this bill.

00:05:48.700 The biggest thing

00:05:49.980 that is good and important

00:05:51.000 about this bill

00:05:51.900 is it finally provides

00:05:54.040 emergency military aid to Israel.

00:05:56.620 Israel is in the middle of a war.

00:05:58.220 It has been in a war

00:05:58.980 since October 6th,

00:06:00.140 the horrific terrorist attack

00:06:01.500 that occurred.

00:06:02.440 It has been battling Hamas in Gaza,

00:06:05.320 battling Hamas 0.98

00:06:06.100 while the Biden administration

00:06:07.360 has been undercutting it

00:06:08.860 over and over and over again

00:06:10.460 and pressing the government of Israel 0.69

00:06:12.360 to stop killing Hamas terrorists.

00:06:14.200 It's also been the subject

00:06:16.880 of a massive attack from Iran,

00:06:19.480 over 300 drones and missiles,

00:06:22.760 cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

00:06:24.980 Iran has been waging war against Israel.

00:06:28.260 And so I think it's critically,

00:06:29.800 critically important

00:06:30.600 that we provide military aid to Israel.

00:06:34.000 Now, and that's going to happen now.

00:06:36.180 So I'm very glad of that.

00:06:38.440 That aid is finally going to go.

00:06:40.560 Let me be clear, though.

00:06:41.400 Well, this military aid to Israel

00:06:43.760 should have gone six months ago.

00:06:45.360 It should have gone

00:06:45.980 right after October 7th.

00:06:47.600 It should have gone

00:06:48.440 when this war started.

00:06:50.740 And you'll recall back in November,

00:06:52.980 I and several other senators

00:06:54.520 forced a vote on the Senate floor.

00:06:57.460 We took over the Senate

00:06:58.460 from Chuck Schumer.

00:06:59.980 We used a rare procedural technique

00:07:02.140 called a rogue cloture petition

00:07:04.440 to force a vote

00:07:05.820 on a standalone Israel

00:07:09.000 emergency military aid bill.

00:07:11.020 And every single Democrat,

00:07:13.380 all of them voted no.

00:07:15.220 And the only reason

00:07:16.980 this military funding

00:07:18.100 didn't go six months ago

00:07:19.500 is because the Democrats

00:07:21.560 obstructed it

00:07:22.640 each and every day since then.

00:07:24.460 And so I'm glad,

00:07:26.720 finally, that military aid

00:07:27.980 is going to Israel.

00:07:28.760 But it should have gone last month.

00:07:30.260 It should have gone the month before.

00:07:31.340 It should have gone

00:07:31.980 all the way back

00:07:33.100 six months ago.

00:07:34.420 And it's the Democrats' fault

00:07:35.480 it didn't.

00:07:36.980 So let's talk about

00:07:38.300 some of the other things

00:07:39.240 that were in this bill as well

00:07:41.580 and explain what all is

00:07:43.160 in this big kind of conglomerate here.

00:07:46.320 Well, let me tell you

00:07:47.360 what else is good in the bill.

00:07:48.620 So number one,

00:07:50.380 the military aid to Israel.

00:07:52.320 Number two,

00:07:53.840 this bill includes

00:07:55.460 the House's bill

00:07:56.500 to force the Chinese Communist Party

00:07:58.540 to give up control

00:07:59.520 of TikTok in the United States.

00:08:01.340 That's something also

00:08:02.740 that I strongly support.

00:08:04.480 I think it is very important

00:08:05.920 for national security.

00:08:07.340 The Chinese Communist Party

00:08:08.580 uses TikTok.

00:08:10.220 It has the capacity

00:08:11.180 for number one,

00:08:12.900 espionage and surveillance

00:08:14.440 of every American.

00:08:16.640 I think that is very dangerous.

00:08:18.180 Number two,

00:08:18.860 the Chinese Communist Party

00:08:20.060 uses this to push propaganda,

00:08:23.460 particularly to our young people.

00:08:24.940 And so this bill

00:08:25.960 forces the CCP

00:08:27.660 to divest from TikTok.

00:08:29.180 That's another very good thing

00:08:30.360 in this bill.

00:08:31.340 Thirdly,

00:08:32.880 this bill also includes

00:08:34.420 $8 billion

00:08:35.200 in funding for Taiwan

00:08:38.040 to defend itself

00:08:39.760 against aggression from China.

00:08:42.560 And listen,

00:08:43.500 I have long,

00:08:44.400 long made clear

00:08:46.160 that China,

00:08:48.080 I believe,

00:08:48.860 represents the most significant

00:08:50.560 long-term geopolitical threat

00:08:52.420 to the United States.

00:08:53.460 and Taiwan is on the front lines

00:08:56.420 of China's global aggression.

00:08:58.480 And so I think

00:08:59.200 it is critically important

00:09:00.340 that we continue standing

00:09:02.980 with the people of Taiwan.

00:09:04.720 So those are three

00:09:05.880 really good things

00:09:06.880 in the bill.

00:09:07.800 Let's go back to TikTok

00:09:08.600 for a second

00:09:09.360 and explain

00:09:10.440 when will this kick in,

00:09:13.000 the metrics of it,

00:09:14.540 how this will work.

00:09:15.520 And I want to go back

00:09:16.460 and compare this

00:09:17.840 also on a story

00:09:19.100 we've done before.

00:09:19.780 TikTok has had

00:09:21.820 like 40 to 1

00:09:23.120 stories supporting

00:09:25.880 the Palestinians

00:09:27.260 slash Hamas 0.91

00:09:28.340 over Israel.

00:09:29.940 Clearly,

00:09:30.360 that has had a major impact

00:09:32.360 on younger people

00:09:33.160 who are actually

00:09:34.400 against Israel.

00:09:35.360 And we've seen this

00:09:36.060 on the college campuses.

00:09:37.060 And this is being used

00:09:39.040 as a mind war machine

00:09:40.720 to clearly influence

00:09:42.740 and change public opinion

00:09:44.420 on people like Jewish people,

00:09:47.100 the Israeli government,

00:09:48.560 and even to make people

00:09:50.700 sympathetic towards terrorists.

00:09:52.720 That's what China's been doing. 0.97

00:09:54.660 And this is just in real time

00:09:56.240 when it comes to Israel.

00:09:57.980 Yeah, no,

00:09:58.280 that's exactly right.

00:09:59.360 That TikTok,

00:10:01.000 the CCP uses TikTok

00:10:02.560 to push pro-Hamas propaganda

00:10:04.400 to undermine Israel, 0.51

00:10:05.780 to push anti-American propaganda,

00:10:08.500 including things

00:10:10.080 like trending,

00:10:12.040 Osama bin Laden

00:10:13.360 speaking out

00:10:14.420 on jihad

00:10:15.700 and against America.

00:10:17.660 And so,

00:10:18.380 removing the ability

00:10:19.720 of the Chinese Communist Party

00:10:21.020 to have control over that,

00:10:22.040 that's really important.

00:10:24.200 How long will this take,

00:10:25.980 then,

00:10:26.200 for the division

00:10:26.900 and for it truly

00:10:28.180 to be a separation

00:10:29.080 where China isn't dictating

00:10:30.620 what happens on the platform?

00:10:31.980 Is this going to be

00:10:32.720 immediate before the election

00:10:34.860 or in reality

00:10:36.040 is this going to be

00:10:36.640 after the election?

00:10:37.580 Well,

00:10:37.900 one of the prices

00:10:38.660 that the Democrats

00:10:39.480 insisted upon

00:10:40.700 to pass this

00:10:41.660 was that it be delayed

00:10:42.940 until after the election.

00:10:44.140 So it will be

00:10:44.420 after the election.

00:10:45.500 Yeah,

00:10:45.780 you know,

00:10:46.160 that's how the Democrats

00:10:47.520 approached it.

00:10:48.820 Yeah,

00:10:49.080 because they wanted

00:10:49.740 to make sure

00:10:50.420 that they had the advantage

00:10:51.420 using TikTok

00:10:52.140 all the way up

00:10:53.020 and through the election.

00:10:55.500 Those are the Democrats

00:10:57.560 we have.

00:10:58.840 So,

00:10:59.440 you look at this bill

00:11:00.700 and you talk also

00:11:02.140 about Taiwanese

00:11:02.880 and the allies

00:11:04.160 and them being able

00:11:04.980 to defend themselves.

00:11:05.980 There was some criticism

00:11:06.880 that this wasn't enough money

00:11:08.200 for them to actually

00:11:09.160 defend themselves

00:11:09.820 against China.

00:11:10.860 Can you explain

00:11:11.920 why this amount of money

00:11:13.040 was chosen

00:11:13.600 and why you think

00:11:14.620 this is adequate

00:11:15.200 at this moment?

00:11:16.640 Look,

00:11:16.980 $8 billion

00:11:17.500 is a significant amount

00:11:19.120 of military aid

00:11:20.080 and it's designed

00:11:20.860 to help Taiwan

00:11:22.620 be more resilient.

00:11:24.620 You know,

00:11:24.840 in military defense theory,

00:11:27.280 the idea,

00:11:27.900 obviously,

00:11:28.260 the Taiwanese army

00:11:29.240 is not sufficient

00:11:30.080 to defeat

00:11:31.240 the Chinese army.

00:11:33.060 China is a much more 0.97

00:11:34.140 massive country

00:11:35.400 with a much larger military,

00:11:36.980 but the idea

00:11:37.940 is to make Taiwan, 0.68

00:11:39.980 the phrase that is often used

00:11:41.180 is a porcupine,

00:11:42.160 make Taiwan 0.78

00:11:43.080 difficult to invade,

00:11:45.320 to deter China 0.96

00:11:46.200 from doing so.

00:11:47.100 And so that's really

00:11:47.960 what the military aid

00:11:48.740 is focused on doing

00:11:49.800 is helping Taiwan

00:11:51.860 be more resistant

00:11:53.260 to an amphibious

00:11:54.200 military assault

00:11:55.420 so that China 0.91

00:11:56.700 doesn't engage in war.

00:11:59.900 And listen,

00:12:00.520 that is often

00:12:01.660 the smartest way

00:12:02.620 to approach

00:12:03.740 national security

00:12:04.740 is to engage

00:12:06.100 in deterrence

00:12:06.740 so you don't have

00:12:07.520 to engage in war

00:12:08.540 and that's exactly

00:12:09.580 what this is trying

00:12:10.300 to do with China

00:12:11.180 and Taiwan.

00:12:13.520 Let's talk about

00:12:14.620 how,

00:12:15.540 what was in the bill

00:12:16.060 that was frustrating

00:12:16.980 for you,

00:12:17.500 that upsets you,

00:12:18.740 that is irritating.

00:12:20.420 The reality is

00:12:21.180 I'd love that

00:12:21.840 if we could just

00:12:22.640 get only what we want,

00:12:23.820 there are compromises

00:12:24.740 that have to be made,

00:12:25.740 there's Democrats

00:12:26.560 who are the majority

00:12:27.600 in the Senate

00:12:28.140 and we have

00:12:30.060 a very slim majority

00:12:31.320 now in the House,

00:12:32.100 Republicans,

00:12:32.720 you have a president

00:12:33.380 who's a Democrat,

00:12:34.680 so what in here

00:12:35.880 is frustrating

00:12:36.820 that you say,

00:12:38.100 hey, yeah,

00:12:38.640 I'm not okay with this

00:12:39.680 but this is the reality

00:12:40.860 of how this went down?

00:12:41.820 Well,

00:12:43.020 there were several

00:12:43.960 other elements

00:12:44.980 in the bill

00:12:45.560 that in total

00:12:47.500 were too problematic

00:12:48.480 for me to support

00:12:49.800 the full package.

00:12:51.620 First of all,

00:12:52.460 the bill spends

00:12:53.140 over $9 billion

00:12:54.340 on so-called

00:12:56.160 humanitarian aid,

00:12:57.420 much of which

00:12:58.140 goes to Gaza,

00:13:00.420 which is controlled

00:13:01.400 by Hamas

00:13:02.220 and we have seen

00:13:03.200 under Joe Biden

00:13:04.100 this pattern

00:13:05.160 over and over again

00:13:06.320 of their sending

00:13:07.300 millions and millions

00:13:08.260 of dollars to Gaza

00:13:09.300 only for it

00:13:10.520 to be diverted

00:13:11.060 by Hamas

00:13:11.780 only for it

00:13:12.480 to be used

00:13:13.200 for terrorism

00:13:14.600 and this bill

00:13:16.960 follows that pattern.

00:13:18.460 It does not,

00:13:19.500 it doesn't learn

00:13:20.720 from the failures

00:13:21.620 of the Biden administration

00:13:22.680 and it keeps

00:13:23.520 sending money

00:13:24.320 that will be used

00:13:26.040 ultimately

00:13:26.580 against America

00:13:27.560 and against our allies.

00:13:28.920 When you see

00:13:30.100 this happen

00:13:30.840 and the way

00:13:31.520 it came out

00:13:32.100 of the Senate,

00:13:32.820 for conservatives

00:13:33.760 that are listening

00:13:34.440 that are just frustrated

00:13:35.900 because they feel

00:13:36.520 like we're sending

00:13:37.120 too much money overseas,

00:13:38.440 we're not securing

00:13:39.460 our southern border,

00:13:40.340 and we're putting

00:13:42.040 other countries

00:13:42.700 ahead of our interests.

00:13:44.760 What is your message

00:13:45.700 to them?

00:13:46.280 Because that's

00:13:46.900 an important one

00:13:47.620 right now.

00:13:49.100 Well, look,

00:13:50.080 there are aspects

00:13:51.300 when it comes

00:13:51.840 to military aid,

00:13:53.060 particularly for Israel

00:13:54.040 and Taiwan,

00:13:55.500 we are doing that

00:13:56.840 because that is

00:13:57.920 in America's interest.

00:13:59.560 That the enemies

00:14:01.000 of Israel

00:14:02.120 are the enemies

00:14:03.080 of America

00:14:03.700 and standing

00:14:04.500 with Israel

00:14:05.320 advances America's

00:14:07.240 national security interest.

00:14:08.300 And by the way,

00:14:08.860 we get enormous

00:14:09.940 military benefits

00:14:10.980 from our alliance

00:14:12.440 with Israel,

00:14:13.180 including benefits

00:14:14.020 from the Mossad,

00:14:14.940 intelligence benefits,

00:14:16.560 that the people

00:14:17.980 they are fighting,

00:14:19.080 listen, Iran,

00:14:20.000 there is a reason

00:14:20.860 the Ayatollah

00:14:21.580 in Iran chants 0.70

00:14:22.580 death to America 0.97

00:14:24.080 and death to Israel. 0.93

00:14:25.240 The Ayatollah

00:14:25.840 also refers to Israel 0.55

00:14:27.200 as the little Satan 0.63

00:14:28.700 and America 0.99

00:14:30.660 as the great Satan.

00:14:32.080 and so helping

00:14:34.540 Israel prevail

00:14:35.820 benefits American

00:14:37.880 national security.

00:14:38.960 It keeps us safer.

00:14:40.120 The same is true 0.99

00:14:40.920 with Taiwan

00:14:41.580 that deterring China,

00:14:43.120 listen,

00:14:43.440 if China,

00:14:44.100 God forbid,

00:14:45.380 were to invade Taiwan,

00:14:46.700 that would be

00:14:47.300 an enormous problem

00:14:48.640 for U.S. national security

00:14:50.080 interest

00:14:51.880 for a lot of reasons,

00:14:52.880 but let me just focus

00:14:53.700 on one,

00:14:54.360 which is advanced

00:14:55.060 semiconductors.

00:14:55.960 Right now,

00:14:57.120 we manufacture

00:14:58.200 very few,

00:14:59.440 a very small percentage

00:15:00.520 of advanced

00:15:01.060 semiconductors

00:15:01.920 are manufactured

00:15:03.100 in the United States.

00:15:04.040 The overwhelming majority

00:15:05.080 is manufactured overseas,

00:15:06.860 primarily in China

00:15:08.200 and Taiwan,

00:15:09.080 and if China

00:15:10.820 were to invade Taiwan,

00:15:13.160 it would give

00:15:14.000 the Chinese Communist Party

00:15:15.400 the ability

00:15:15.900 to have the American economy

00:15:17.160 and the American military

00:15:18.340 in a stranglehold.

00:15:20.840 You look at virtually

00:15:21.920 everything we use

00:15:23.440 in today's modern life,

00:15:25.260 it involves

00:15:25.840 semiconductors

00:15:26.620 and advanced semiconductors.

00:15:27.880 That's true

00:15:28.360 for your phone,

00:15:29.860 that's true

00:15:30.340 for your car or truck,

00:15:31.920 that's true

00:15:33.260 for just about

00:15:34.360 every appliance

00:15:34.980 you have in your home,

00:15:36.500 that's true

00:15:37.140 for just about

00:15:37.760 every serious piece

00:15:38.560 of military equipment

00:15:39.360 we have,

00:15:39.920 whether it's every tank

00:15:41.020 or every fighter jet

00:15:42.200 or every ship

00:15:43.740 or every computer.

00:15:46.160 We are massively

00:15:47.720 dependent

00:15:48.340 on advanced

00:15:49.480 semiconductors.

00:15:50.380 It's one of the reasons

00:15:51.180 I have been so vigorous

00:15:52.680 in fighting to bring

00:15:54.320 semiconductor manufacturing

00:15:55.760 back to the United States, 0.95

00:15:57.160 back to Texas.

00:15:57.880 It's one of the reasons

00:15:59.300 why I co-authored

00:16:00.640 legislation

00:16:02.040 to streamline

00:16:03.340 the environmental permitting

00:16:05.180 for building

00:16:05.880 new semiconductor fabs,

00:16:07.620 including massive ones

00:16:08.780 that are going into Texas.

00:16:10.180 My legislation,

00:16:11.400 which I authored

00:16:12.040 with Mark Kelly,

00:16:13.140 Democrat from Arizona,

00:16:14.620 the Kelly-Cruise bill

00:16:15.660 passed the Senate

00:16:16.540 100 to nothing.

00:16:18.000 We're working to get it

00:16:19.100 through the House,

00:16:19.940 but in the interim,

00:16:21.860 until this passes into law,

00:16:23.400 until we build up

00:16:24.360 semiconductor manufacturing

00:16:25.700 capacity in the United States,

00:16:28.000 America is incredibly vulnerable,

00:16:29.840 and so deterring

00:16:30.640 Chinese aggression 0.58

00:16:31.560 in Taiwan

00:16:33.060 is all about

00:16:33.920 protecting America's

00:16:35.840 national security interests.

00:16:37.380 Yeah, great point.

00:16:38.520 I want to talk to you

00:16:39.260 about Freedom Gold USA.

00:16:41.060 If you are like me

00:16:42.480 and you want to make sure

00:16:43.500 that you're protecting

00:16:44.280 your hard-earned dollars,

00:16:45.400 especially if you're in retirement

00:16:46.720 or close to retirement,

00:16:48.260 you know how important it is

00:16:49.420 to diversify your assets

00:16:50.740 with inflation still well above

00:16:52.620 the Fed's target rate,

00:16:54.360 and consumer prices

00:16:55.440 are so much higher

00:16:56.560 than they were

00:16:57.020 just two or three

00:16:57.900 or four years ago.

00:16:59.860 That's why you need

00:17:00.580 a financial plan

00:17:01.480 that ensures that

00:17:02.180 the money you save today

00:17:04.080 will be enough

00:17:05.100 for you tomorrow.

00:17:05.880 Now, imagine thinking

00:17:07.280 that you were on track

00:17:08.420 four years ago

00:17:09.160 and looking at the cost

00:17:10.180 of living now,

00:17:11.360 and that's where

00:17:12.040 gold and silver come in.

00:17:13.820 Gold and silver

00:17:14.540 have historically been

00:17:15.440 amazing hedges

00:17:16.320 against inflation

00:17:17.240 and a phenomenal way

00:17:19.120 to protect your hard-earned

00:17:20.200 retirement funds.

00:17:21.500 Now, to be clear,

00:17:22.240 no one's saying

00:17:22.800 put all your money

00:17:23.600 in gold or silver.

00:17:24.520 No, you need to find

00:17:25.940 a trusted partner,

00:17:27.180 and you need to find

00:17:28.220 someone that can give you

00:17:29.140 all the facts

00:17:29.840 about gold and silver

00:17:31.180 and diversification.

00:17:32.580 You also need to make sure

00:17:33.640 you're working

00:17:34.040 with a reputable firm.

00:17:36.220 Yes, there are many

00:17:37.340 companies out there

00:17:38.160 that charge enormous fees.

00:17:40.740 In fact, on average,

00:17:42.560 Freedom Gold USA

00:17:43.420 charges 25% to 30% less

00:17:47.120 than most major

00:17:48.600 gold and silver firms.

00:17:49.920 Another way to look at that is,

00:17:51.200 wouldn't you want to have

00:17:51.900 25% to 30% more gold

00:17:53.600 and silver in your account

00:17:54.560 than what you would do

00:17:55.620 with the same amount

00:17:56.420 of cash somewhere else?

00:17:58.020 That's why I recommend

00:17:59.320 Freedom Gold USA.

00:18:00.820 So take control

00:18:02.000 of your financial future

00:18:03.080 and know you're working

00:18:04.000 with a firm

00:18:04.600 that is looking out

00:18:06.120 for your long-term

00:18:07.300 financial stability.

00:18:42.740 Senator,

00:18:43.120 I know there was

00:18:43.640 a couple other problems

00:18:44.880 in this bill

00:18:45.540 that you also wanted

00:18:46.380 to highlight.

00:18:47.140 What are those?

00:18:48.600 Well,

00:18:48.840 they're big problems.

00:18:49.820 Number two,

00:18:50.880 this bill has

00:18:51.920 $3.4 billion

00:18:53.380 for, quote,

00:18:54.880 migration and

00:18:56.060 refugee assistance.

00:18:57.680 And that's

00:18:58.760 the pocket of money

00:19:00.480 the Biden administration

00:19:01.480 has used

00:19:02.440 to pour cash

00:19:03.620 into the NGOs

00:19:04.960 that are assisting

00:19:06.220 with illegal immigration

00:19:07.360 at our southern border.

00:19:08.400 And so this gives them

00:19:09.500 billions more

00:19:10.980 to keep funneling

00:19:11.960 into these organizations

00:19:13.040 that are trafficking

00:19:14.980 people illegally

00:19:15.780 into this country

00:19:16.480 and helping traffickers

00:19:17.660 bring people illegally

00:19:18.860 into the country.

00:19:19.580 I can't support that.

00:19:22.160 No,

00:19:22.660 that's something

00:19:23.220 that is obviously

00:19:24.040 very frustrating.

00:19:25.260 And this is what

00:19:26.320 I think so many

00:19:27.420 conservatives

00:19:28.120 have been hearing about.

00:19:29.220 And they're frustrated

00:19:29.920 because why is it

00:19:30.900 that this always happens?

00:19:32.920 Well,

00:19:33.160 and listen,

00:19:33.920 that leads to the third

00:19:36.020 and the single biggest

00:19:37.000 problem with this bill

00:19:38.080 is it does nothing,

00:19:40.440 zero,

00:19:40.820 nada

00:19:41.280 to secure

00:19:42.560 our southern border.

00:19:44.060 It doesn't

00:19:44.820 it doesn't address

00:19:46.660 the crisis

00:19:47.580 and it is an existential crisis.

00:19:49.540 We are seeing

00:19:50.540 a full-on invasion

00:19:52.340 and just a few months ago

00:19:55.160 Republicans all stood united

00:19:56.840 and said

00:19:58.380 we are going to use

00:20:00.060 this Ukraine bill

00:20:01.900 as leverage

00:20:02.840 to force the Democrats

00:20:04.500 to do something

00:20:05.320 on our southern border.

00:20:06.280 And all of us initially

00:20:07.340 stood united on that.

00:20:09.000 Listen,

00:20:09.840 I still believe that.

00:20:11.100 I still believe

00:20:11.880 and the Democrats,

00:20:13.500 they care passionately

00:20:15.920 about this Ukraine aid bill.

00:20:17.460 Listen,

00:20:17.700 we saw

00:20:18.240 in the House of Representatives,

00:20:20.160 we saw House Democrats 0.92

00:20:21.620 ridiculously

00:20:23.520 waving Ukrainian flags 0.91

00:20:25.900 on the floor of the House.

00:20:27.260 It was a pitiful spectacle.

00:20:30.640 And as an aside,

00:20:31.780 can you imagine

00:20:32.480 those Democrats

00:20:33.260 ever showing

00:20:34.540 the same joy

00:20:35.640 waving an American flag?

00:20:37.680 It's hard to imagine.

00:20:38.760 But no,

00:20:39.140 they were happy

00:20:39.880 to jump up and down

00:20:41.460 and wave Ukrainian flags

00:20:42.880 on the House floor.

00:20:44.480 It's clear

00:20:45.320 they care passionately

00:20:46.440 about that.

00:20:47.080 And so I believe

00:20:48.040 we should have stuck

00:20:49.400 to our guns

00:20:50.100 and said,

00:20:50.640 OK,

00:20:51.620 if you want additional money

00:20:52.900 for Ukraine,

00:20:54.340 let's take serious steps

00:20:56.340 to secure the border.

00:20:57.360 Not the bogus

00:20:58.740 Chuck Schumer bill

00:20:59.720 that would have made

00:21:00.360 the problem worse

00:21:01.240 and would have put

00:21:01.800 catch and release

00:21:02.940 into law

00:21:03.480 and would have normalized

00:21:04.460 2 million illegal immigrants

00:21:05.660 a year,

00:21:06.780 but serious legislation

00:21:09.120 to secure the border.

00:21:10.820 Once again,

00:21:11.780 in front of the Senate,

00:21:12.760 I introduced H.R. 2

00:21:13.960 as an amendment

00:21:14.580 to the bill.

00:21:15.200 And to be clear,

00:21:16.240 if they had attached

00:21:17.960 H.R. 2,

00:21:18.980 strong border security

00:21:20.180 to this bill,

00:21:20.900 I would have voted yes.

00:21:22.800 But they didn't.

00:21:24.720 And ultimately,

00:21:26.840 the House was not able

00:21:28.020 to move it out

00:21:28.720 with border security included.

00:21:30.760 And for me,

00:21:31.740 as a senator

00:21:32.880 representing the great

00:21:33.900 state of Texas,

00:21:34.540 I can't sit by

00:21:36.040 while our state

00:21:37.420 and our country

00:21:38.180 is invaded

00:21:39.180 and allow this moment

00:21:42.880 to go by,

00:21:43.580 I can't support this bill

00:21:44.940 without border security.

00:21:47.120 I can't allocate funds

00:21:48.520 to secure Ukraine's border

00:21:50.240 before we secure

00:21:52.240 our own border.

00:21:53.140 And that is the number one reason

00:21:54.480 that I had to vote no,

00:21:56.100 is the crisis we have at home

00:21:59.280 is too grave

00:22:00.980 to allow this bill

00:22:02.660 to move,

00:22:03.140 at least with my support,

00:22:04.540 without fixing the problem

00:22:08.020 here at home.

00:22:08.880 You mentioned the open border.

00:22:11.260 House Committee

00:22:12.040 on Homeland Security

00:22:13.000 found that illegal aliens 1.00

00:22:14.360 are costing us

00:22:15.340 an estimated $451 billion

00:22:19.060 per year.

00:22:21.120 The majority of that

00:22:21.900 going to health care

00:22:22.840 for illegal immigrants

00:22:24.260 as crime is skyrocketing.

00:22:26.440 Now our hospitals

00:22:27.460 are being filled

00:22:28.020 with illegals

00:22:28.500 who can't pay.

00:22:29.820 And that is what they found.

00:22:31.000 And yet we're sending money,

00:22:32.180 like you said,

00:22:32.700 to secure

00:22:33.200 another country's border.

00:22:35.020 Well, and it's,

00:22:36.240 the Democrats

00:22:36.860 have gone all in.

00:22:38.460 They have decided

00:22:39.360 that they are

00:22:40.380 the open border party.

00:22:41.920 That they are

00:22:42.980 willing to give up anything,

00:22:44.740 including,

00:22:45.380 apparently,

00:22:45.860 they were willing

00:22:46.240 to give up Ukraine aid

00:22:47.500 in order to keep

00:22:49.120 the open borders.

00:22:50.220 I think we should have

00:22:51.260 held the line

00:22:52.060 and used this

00:22:54.040 to force

00:22:54.800 real border security,

00:22:56.580 not the fake

00:22:58.220 fake kind

00:23:00.080 that Chuck Schumer

00:23:01.280 was trying

00:23:02.340 to get attached to this.

00:23:04.120 Canadian women

00:23:04.980 are looking for more.

00:23:06.320 More out of themselves,

00:23:07.380 their businesses,

00:23:08.320 their elected leaders,

00:23:09.280 and the world around them.

00:23:10.480 And that's why

00:23:10.960 we're thrilled

00:23:11.460 to introduce

00:23:12.120 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:23:14.220 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:23:15.400 And I'm Catherine Clark.

00:23:16.640 And in this podcast,

00:23:17.800 we interview

00:23:18.260 Canada's most inspiring women.

00:23:20.340 Entrepreneurs,

00:23:21.080 artists,

00:23:21.760 athletes,

00:23:22.360 politicians,

00:23:23.020 and newsmakers,

00:23:23.960 all at different stages

00:23:25.000 of their journey.

00:23:26.140 So if you're looking

00:23:27.160 to connect,

00:23:27.940 then we hope

00:23:28.380 you'll join us.

00:23:29.360 Listen to the

00:23:29.800 Honest Talk podcast

00:23:30.720 on iHeartRadio

00:23:31.760 or wherever you listen

00:23:32.720 to your podcasts.

00:23:35.180 I want to move also

00:23:36.580 to another major issue,

00:23:38.140 Senator,

00:23:38.360 and that is

00:23:38.900 we've been covering

00:23:39.760 anti-Semitism

00:23:40.540 on college campuses

00:23:41.760 and exposing

00:23:42.960 what's been happening.

00:23:44.600 But now we're getting

00:23:45.920 to see the White House,

00:23:47.320 specifically the President

00:23:48.360 of the United States

00:23:48.880 of America, 1.00

00:23:49.600 is just pathetic, 1.00

00:23:51.900 and that word 0.99

00:23:52.420 doesn't seem strong enough, 0.99

00:23:54.120 but a pathetic 0.99

00:23:54.920 response to 0.99

00:23:55.840 anti-Semitism

00:23:56.620 on college campuses.

00:23:59.080 I want to play

00:23:59.900 this for you

00:24:00.660 from a reporter

00:24:01.600 to the President

00:24:03.040 of the United States

00:24:03.800 of America

00:24:04.380 and get your reaction

00:24:05.520 to it.

00:24:06.140 Listen to this.

00:24:06.920 And the anti-Semitic

00:24:08.340 protests

00:24:08.860 on college campuses.

00:24:10.660 I condemn

00:24:11.200 the anti-Semitic protests.

00:24:12.620 That's why I've set up

00:24:13.540 a program

00:24:14.460 to do with that.

00:24:15.620 I also condemn

00:24:16.340 those who

00:24:17.060 don't understand

00:24:18.180 what's going on

00:24:18.880 with the Palestinians

00:24:19.660 and how they're being...

00:24:21.900 Should the Columbia

00:24:22.600 University president

00:24:23.660 resign?

00:24:24.180 I didn't know that.

00:24:26.380 I'll have to find out

00:24:27.360 more about that.

00:24:28.680 I love that they asked,

00:24:30.080 should she resign?

00:24:30.740 He goes,

00:24:30.940 I didn't know that.

00:24:31.720 I'll have to find out

00:24:32.540 more about that.

00:24:33.220 But he condemns

00:24:34.300 people that are

00:24:36.560 anti-Semitic

00:24:37.320 and then says,

00:24:37.920 I also condemn

00:24:38.560 those that don't know

00:24:39.660 about the Palestinians.

00:24:41.060 Like, 0.99

00:24:41.380 what in the hell 0.98

00:24:41.900 is the President 0.82

00:24:42.400 doing here, sir?

00:24:43.620 Well, look,

00:24:44.380 he said he didn't

00:24:45.640 know that,

00:24:46.280 and I actually believe

00:24:47.540 that's some of the most

00:24:48.300 honest words

00:24:49.100 that he said.

00:24:49.880 I think he has no idea

00:24:51.100 what's going on.

00:24:51.960 He's not aware

00:24:52.520 of what's going on,

00:24:53.280 and in particular,

00:24:54.060 he's professing ignorance

00:24:55.800 as to what's happening

00:24:57.640 at Columbia,

00:24:58.340 what's happening at Yale,

00:24:59.320 and it is utterly

00:25:00.620 disgraceful.

00:25:01.800 But you know 0.99

00:25:02.300 who's not ignorant? 0.97

00:25:03.180 I mean, 0.98

00:25:03.380 I agree,

00:25:04.020 he's oblivious, 0.99

00:25:04.840 but who's not ignorant 0.99

00:25:06.280 are the other Democrats 0.95

00:25:07.300 who are supporting this,

00:25:08.940 and I want you

00:25:09.660 to listen to,

00:25:10.560 so there was an event,

00:25:13.380 a Climate Corps event,

00:25:15.320 where AOC was speaking

00:25:18.240 right next to Joe Biden,

00:25:19.860 and he was right there,

00:25:21.360 and AOC had something

00:25:22.940 to say on this

00:25:23.680 that I want everyone

00:25:24.360 to listen and hear.

00:25:25.680 Here's AOC addressing

00:25:28.100 Columbia and Yale.

00:25:29.780 It is especially important

00:25:31.500 that we remember

00:25:32.320 the power of young people

00:25:33.780 shaping this country today

00:25:35.540 of all days,

00:25:36.580 as we once again witness

00:25:39.000 the leadership

00:25:40.020 of those peaceful

00:25:41.440 student-led protests

00:25:42.820 on campuses

00:25:43.560 like Columbia,

00:25:44.740 Yale,

00:25:45.160 Berkeley,

00:25:45.620 and many others.

00:25:46.960 Really?

00:25:47.620 Because a group

00:25:48.440 of Yale Students Center

00:25:49.620 formed a human chain

00:25:51.640 to block a Jewish student

00:25:53.680 from entering

00:25:54.140 the university yesterday,

00:25:56.340 and if you know history,

00:25:58.820 this was a chilling act

00:26:00.900 of anti-Semitism

00:26:01.920 that echoed 1939

00:26:03.620 when Nazis blocked

00:26:05.080 Jewish students

00:26:05.800 from entering

00:26:06.300 Vienna University

00:26:07.500 simply because

00:26:08.320 they were Jews.

00:26:09.340 No, that's absolutely right,

00:26:11.640 and you also had

00:26:12.920 a Jewish student

00:26:13.700 at Yale

00:26:14.240 who was poked

00:26:15.940 in the eye

00:26:16.600 with a flag

00:26:17.280 and had to seek

00:26:18.020 medical treatment

00:26:18.860 because of that,

00:26:20.640 and to say

00:26:22.180 when you have threats

00:26:24.080 of murder

00:26:25.280 and violence

00:26:26.160 and death,

00:26:27.100 when you have,

00:26:27.800 as you had it

00:26:28.480 at Columbia,

00:26:30.060 a student

00:26:31.280 saying that 0.98

00:26:32.820 Hamas should murder 1.00

00:26:34.820 the Jewish students 1.00

00:26:36.020 on that campus,

00:26:38.800 that is not peaceful.

00:26:40.760 Threats of violence

00:26:41.840 and calling from

00:26:42.580 the murder

00:26:42.960 of your former students

00:26:44.060 is not remotely peaceful,

00:26:46.560 but understand,

00:26:47.400 AOC,

00:26:47.880 this is a sitting

00:26:48.660 member of Congress,

00:26:50.600 she's singling out 0.97

00:26:51.920 Columbia and Yale.

00:26:53.420 She's praising

00:26:54.760 what's happening

00:26:55.640 at Columbia and Yale.

00:26:56.700 Understand,

00:26:57.600 she supports

00:26:58.760 this vicious anti-Semitism,

00:27:00.860 and there is Joe Biden

00:27:02.340 happily sitting there,

00:27:04.260 in fact,

00:27:04.680 he said at the same event

00:27:05.840 that he's learned

00:27:06.560 that when AOC speaks,

00:27:09.220 you've got to listen to her.

00:27:10.840 Well,

00:27:11.360 you know,

00:27:11.720 that is unfortunately

00:27:13.360 today's Democrat Party,

00:27:14.880 which is,

00:27:16.640 the White House 0.97

00:27:17.840 is utterly tepid,

00:27:19.100 unwilling to condemn

00:27:20.300 specifically what is happening

00:27:21.760 at Columbia and Yale,

00:27:23.560 and the radicals

00:27:25.720 in their party

00:27:26.400 explicitly endorse it

00:27:28.320 and celebrate it.

00:27:29.320 You mentioned the radicals

00:27:31.180 of the Democratic Party.

00:27:32.340 You and I have said this

00:27:33.160 for a long time.

00:27:34.060 When they tell you

00:27:34.840 what they believe in,

00:27:36.460 believe them.

00:27:38.080 I'll give you an example of this.

00:27:39.580 A group of Columbia University

00:27:41.200 professors actually held

00:27:42.560 a rally Monday.

00:27:44.700 These are the professors

00:27:45.700 who are indoctrinating the kids 0.99

00:27:47.180 to hate Jews 0.98

00:27:48.000 and hate Israel. 0.98

00:27:49.720 They held a rally

00:27:50.980 to express solidarity

00:27:52.840 with the anti-Semitic students

00:27:55.760 that had been suspended

00:27:57.320 for holding unauthorized

00:27:59.000 protests on campus.

00:28:01.020 And not only that,

00:28:02.440 but when you go back

00:28:04.340 and look at what these leaders,

00:28:06.140 these universities believe,

00:28:07.260 whether it's,

00:28:07.760 you know,

00:28:08.360 Claudine Gay,

00:28:09.120 who we've exposed

00:28:09.940 on this show multiple times.

00:28:12.020 But at an event

00:28:13.080 just two months

00:28:14.240 after 9-11,

00:28:16.320 Columbia University's

00:28:17.480 current president

00:28:18.740 remarked,

00:28:20.240 and this was two months

00:28:21.580 after 9-11,

00:28:22.360 that terrorism

00:28:23.960 is a,

00:28:25.080 quote,

00:28:25.540 form of protesting.

00:28:28.100 When they tell you

00:28:29.220 who they are,

00:28:30.100 believe them,

00:28:30.780 listen to this.

00:28:31.700 So it's not,

00:28:32.360 you'll always have individuals

00:28:33.500 who will have extreme views.

00:28:35.660 But what's really troubling

00:28:37.200 in the region

00:28:37.860 is that there's actually

00:28:39.180 quite a broad base

00:28:40.380 of society

00:28:41.040 which has some sympathy

00:28:42.180 for the terrorists.

00:28:43.280 Not so much because

00:28:44.200 they approve of their methods,

00:28:45.640 but it's a form of protesting

00:28:47.200 against a system

00:28:48.100 which is not delivering

00:28:49.180 for them on the economic

00:28:50.220 or the political front.

00:28:51.800 I mean,

00:28:52.160 that's no wonder

00:28:53.580 that this university

00:28:55.100 is totally,

00:28:56.400 it just lost its mind

00:28:58.540 and we're watching

00:28:59.640 this anti-Semitism.

00:29:00.760 If that's what you're saying

00:29:02.060 in public two months

00:29:02.940 after 9-11,

00:29:04.100 then imagine how many children

00:29:05.540 you've been able

00:29:06.140 to indoctrinate college students

00:29:07.700 to believe that the Jews 1.00

00:29:08.580 are Israel

00:29:09.220 and that you should feel

00:29:10.460 sympathy for Hamas,

00:29:11.740 Hezbollah,

00:29:12.320 ISIS, 0.60

00:29:12.760 Al-Qaeda,

00:29:13.180 the list goes on and on.

00:29:15.080 Well,

00:29:15.620 and when she says

00:29:16.420 there's a broad base

00:29:17.460 of society

00:29:18.120 that has sympathy

00:29:19.040 for these terrorists,

00:29:21.020 she's revealing a lot

00:29:22.400 about the world

00:29:23.120 in which she lives,

00:29:24.200 about Ivy League universities,

00:29:27.000 about our elite universities,

00:29:28.500 about our academic system,

00:29:29.780 about the left.

00:29:31.120 Everyone she associates with

00:29:33.240 falls into that crowd.

00:29:35.380 When they look at the terrorists

00:29:37.200 and understand,

00:29:37.940 we're not talking about terrorists

00:29:39.040 in the abstract.

00:29:39.840 We're talking about Hamas 0.99

00:29:41.560 and what they did

00:29:42.340 on October 7th,

00:29:43.420 murdering 1,200 Israelis,

00:29:45.800 murdering some 30 Americans, 0.99

00:29:47.520 raping women 1.00

00:29:48.600 and little girls, 0.99

00:29:49.680 committing atrocities

00:29:51.040 that the world

00:29:52.280 has not seen

00:29:53.540 since the Nazis.

00:29:55.740 And in today's

00:29:57.460 leftist academy,

00:30:00.340 using the president

00:30:01.420 of Columbia's own word,

00:30:02.580 they have some sympathy

00:30:03.420 for that.

00:30:04.200 No,

00:30:04.500 there is no sympathy.

00:30:06.060 Terrorism is not

00:30:06.980 a form of protest.

00:30:08.460 Terrorism is a horrific

00:30:09.580 form of violence

00:30:10.680 that targets civilians,

00:30:12.320 that targets women

00:30:13.020 and children,

00:30:13.580 that commits murder

00:30:14.840 an act of cruelty

00:30:15.920 and that's exactly

00:30:17.000 what Hamas did 0.90

00:30:19.820 and it's what,

00:30:21.300 it's the reason

00:30:22.280 these college campuses

00:30:24.220 are allowing

00:30:25.320 these anti-Semitic protests

00:30:28.160 to go on,

00:30:28.880 these threats

00:30:29.400 against Jewish students 0.96

00:30:30.500 to go on.

00:30:31.140 It's the reason

00:30:31.640 Jewish students

00:30:32.380 are being advised

00:30:34.160 by the Orthodox rabbi

00:30:35.940 at Columbia

00:30:36.780 to stay home

00:30:38.000 because Columbia

00:30:39.380 will not protect

00:30:40.500 your physical safety

00:30:41.720 and the reason

00:30:42.400 is the president

00:30:43.680 of Columbia,

00:30:44.380 the administrators

00:30:44.920 of Columbia,

00:30:46.240 they explicitly

00:30:48.060 side with the radicals

00:30:51.500 and with the terrorists

00:30:52.660 and it is shameful 0.96

00:30:54.980 and it's sick. 0.78

00:30:56.480 Finally on this,

00:30:57.540 we're going to do

00:30:58.000 a deep dive

00:30:58.620 about the dark money

00:30:59.700 that is clearly

00:31:00.920 backing and orchestrating

00:31:02.700 these not only events

00:31:05.320 but the shutting down

00:31:06.000 of roads and bridges

00:31:07.140 and supporting

00:31:08.640 what's happening

00:31:09.760 on these college campuses

00:31:10.880 being anti-Semitic

00:31:12.340 but there is

00:31:13.520 one caveat

00:31:14.660 and this should be

00:31:16.640 talked about

00:31:17.220 and like I said,

00:31:18.060 we're going to give you

00:31:18.520 a lot more on this

00:31:19.200 in another episode

00:31:20.020 but we've now found out

00:31:21.760 that the NFL,

00:31:23.320 the National Football League

00:31:24.580 funded a left-wing group

00:31:26.120 bailing out

00:31:27.440 anti-Israel

00:31:29.040 bridge blockers

00:31:30.720 and this is,

00:31:32.540 again,

00:31:33.180 how the left

00:31:34.240 just holds these companies

00:31:35.600 and these organizations

00:31:36.640 hostage like,

00:31:37.420 you better give us money,

00:31:38.140 we need some money

00:31:38.600 to bail out some people

00:31:39.360 and they just do it.

00:31:40.880 Well,

00:31:41.600 and look,

00:31:42.040 we talked about

00:31:42.900 in the wake of October 7th

00:31:44.260 how Black Lives Matter,

00:31:46.140 how the Chicago chapter

00:31:47.220 put out a tweet

00:31:48.140 praising Hamas 0.99

00:31:50.440 saying we stand

00:31:51.140 with Palestine

00:31:51.760 and having a picture

00:31:54.000 of a paraglider,

00:31:55.600 remember it was

00:31:56.220 the paragliders

00:31:57.140 that came in

00:31:57.840 that the Hamas terrorists 0.81

00:31:58.780 used to murder

00:31:59.460 young people in Israel

00:32:00.620 and the cultural Marxist,

00:32:03.940 they support each other

00:32:05.700 and we're seeing that,

00:32:08.240 look,

00:32:08.660 on Columbia

00:32:09.640 it's not just

00:32:10.340 the students

00:32:10.960 that are facing

00:32:11.600 threats of violence,

00:32:12.400 it's the faculty too.

00:32:14.120 So a Columbia professor,

00:32:16.380 Shai Davidai,

00:32:18.620 wanted to go

00:32:19.920 and we talked about this

00:32:21.520 on Monday's pod

00:32:22.800 that he intended to go

00:32:24.460 and be right among

00:32:25.520 these protesters

00:32:26.300 and stand up for Israel

00:32:27.580 and what Columbia did,

00:32:29.460 they revoked

00:32:30.300 his pass to campus,

00:32:31.660 they zeroed out

00:32:32.580 his access

00:32:33.160 and blocked him.

00:32:34.340 This is the administration

00:32:35.840 of Columbia

00:32:36.620 they decided

00:32:37.460 between a professor

00:32:39.580 on their faculty

00:32:40.720 who happened

00:32:41.380 to be Jewish

00:32:42.000 or

00:32:43.440 the anti-Semitic

00:32:46.020 protesters

00:32:46.580 who were threatening

00:32:47.320 violence

00:32:47.960 that the problem

00:32:49.140 was the professor

00:32:50.060 who dared

00:32:50.740 to be Jewish.

00:32:52.380 You know,

00:32:52.700 one of the things

00:32:53.440 that this professor

00:32:54.500 Davidai tweeted out,

00:32:56.280 he said,

00:32:56.780 quote,

00:32:57.060 to all the journalists,

00:32:58.020 I promise I will try

00:32:58.920 to get back to each

00:32:59.740 and every one of you.

00:33:01.120 In the meantime,

00:33:01.920 I want you to consider this.

00:33:03.160 To the best of my knowledge,

00:33:05.860 the last time

00:33:06.800 that a professor

00:33:07.380 was denied access

00:33:08.540 to their own university

00:33:09.840 for being Jewish

00:33:11.680 was Nazi Germany.

00:33:13.780 Well,

00:33:14.200 actually that's not accurate

00:33:15.380 because we covered

00:33:16.220 on this podcast

00:33:17.180 how USC did that

00:33:19.000 to a USC professor

00:33:21.040 where they ordered him

00:33:22.300 to stay at home

00:33:23.700 and teach from home

00:33:24.840 for precisely

00:33:25.620 the same reason

00:33:26.580 because anti-Israel protesters

00:33:28.560 were threatening violence

00:33:29.600 and they decided

00:33:30.260 not to protect him

00:33:31.400 but instead

00:33:32.320 to stand with

00:33:32.940 the protesters.

00:33:34.180 Yeah,

00:33:34.360 we're going to talk

00:33:34.940 more about this dark money,

00:33:36.100 I can promise you that.

00:33:37.420 Don't forget,

00:33:38.000 we do this show

00:33:38.480 Monday,

00:33:38.860 Wednesday,

00:33:53.560 what we're bringing to you,

00:33:55.080 how many people

00:33:56.000 find it for the very first time

00:33:59.120 is basically covering up

00:34:01.800 and refusing to cover.

00:34:03.540 So when you do that,

00:34:04.280 it makes a huge difference.
