00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.220 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.
00:00:08.020 The Weekend Review.
00:00:09.380 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:10.420 And these are the top stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:00:14.380 First up, the media normalizing terrorist threats coming across our southern border.
00:00:20.940 Why is it that they're trying to act like this isn't a national security threat?
00:00:25.240 We're going to deal with that.
00:00:26.260 Also, conservatives are continuing to be silenced on social media.
00:00:31.520 This is a big part of the plan by Democrats to stop Republicans in the presidential election.
00:00:37.620 We'll expose it all.
00:00:39.080 And finally, Biden's reelection campaign is doubling down on amnesty now for all illegal immigrants.
00:00:47.240 It's the Weekend Review, and it starts right now.
00:00:50.540 There's two things that worry me, and I want your take on this.
00:00:53.120 Number one, it's almost like the media is worried the same way you are, that there's a real chance of a major terrorist attack.
00:01:00.580 We've seen warnings from Director Wray at the FBI and others who are saying they're concerned even about attacks that would mimic what we saw against the people in Israel.
00:01:08.440 But it's also like they're trying to normalize the idea that, yeah, there's a lot of terrorists in America.
00:01:12.940 And if something does happen, it's like, yeah, we knew this.
00:01:15.980 We covered it.
00:01:16.740 We talked about it.
00:01:18.220 Maybe you shouldn't be as outraged.
00:01:20.460 Well, if you want to be outraged, listen to what Chris Wray, the administrator of the FBI, is saying about the risk we have of a terror attack right now in the United States.
00:01:31.120 From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border.
00:01:38.500 There is a particular network that has, where some of the overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have ISIS ties that we're very concerned about,
00:01:49.820 and that we've been spending an enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating.
00:01:54.580 Wray said a key word there, coming across the border.
00:01:58.220 Yeah.
00:01:58.400 Like, he's telling you how they're doing it.
00:02:00.700 So if he knows this, and that means I'm sure he's given the same briefing he just gave America to the President of the United States of America,
00:02:07.140 why would you not then close the border if this is what you know is coming across the border?
00:02:11.360 And my second question is, after 9-11, I remember, like, we learned very quickly how they,
00:02:17.700 that the terrorists were able to use certain loopholes and things to get into America, and we squeezed down those instantly.
00:02:23.240 I'm worried that even if there is a terrorist attack, they're still going to keep the border open.
00:02:27.400 Look, Joe Biden doesn't care.
00:02:29.980 Kamala Harris doesn't care. 1.00
00:02:31.300 Chuck Schumer doesn't care.
00:02:32.460 Nancy Pelosi doesn't care. 1.00
00:02:34.240 I've been fighting for years to secure the border, and every Democrat is on record over and over and over again.
00:02:42.700 I forced a vote on H.R. 2, which would actually end catch and release, secure the border, stop these terrorists from coming in,
00:02:49.600 and every Democrat in the Senate, all of them, there are no moderates on this issue, all of them party line, vote, open borders, open borders, open borders.
00:02:58.700 Every Democrat in the Senate voted to throw out the impeachment of Alejandro Mayorkas to hear no evidence.
00:03:05.280 They don't want to hear the evidence.
00:03:08.140 They're like an ostrich plunging their head in the sand.
00:03:12.760 Do not tell them about the terrorists coming into this country, because they don't care about who came in yesterday,
00:03:18.200 and they don't care about who's going to come in tomorrow.
00:03:20.420 Let's talk about the numbers, because that's the other part of this warning.
00:03:24.380 It's not 1 or 2 or 10 or 15 or 20 that are on the terrorist watch list that we know have come across the southern border.
00:03:31.500 It's an alarming number in the hundreds.
00:03:34.480 Yeah, look, when Trump was president, the number of people that were apprehended on the terror watch list coming into the country
00:03:40.120 was every year in the low single digits, was 1 or 2, was a very small number.
00:03:45.100 In fiscal year 2023, 169 people on the terror watch list were apprehended at our southern border, 169.
00:03:53.760 This fiscal year, we're only halfway through.
00:03:56.280 We already have nearly 100 who've been apprehended at the southern border again.
00:04:02.040 They're on the terror watch list.
00:04:03.540 On the terror watch list.
00:04:04.560 And by the way, that's the southern border, the northern border.
00:04:08.060 The stats, 630 terror suspects were encountered at the northern border in the last two fiscal years.
00:04:16.000 The New York Post breaking that aspect of the story.
00:04:18.600 So it's not just, as you mentioned, the southern border.
00:04:21.080 It's the northern border, which is another problem, which is, by all accounts, is even more, I guess, open, easier to come across, many believe.
00:04:30.200 It's much larger.
00:04:31.980 And if you are a terrorist, if you are heeding Iran's call for global jihad against America,
00:04:39.060 if you're heeding Hamas' call for global jihad against America,
00:04:42.140 if you're heeding Hezbollah's call for global jihad against America, 0.56
00:04:45.220 if you're heeding Palestinian Islamic Jihad's call for global jihad against America,
00:04:50.200 if you're heeding ISIS' call for global jihad against America, it's not complicated.
00:04:55.540 you come across the border in a place where there's not a lot of border security where you
00:05:00.760 can be one of the nearly two million gotaways these are just the people who've encountered
00:05:05.560 the numbers are even more concerning of the gotaways and the democrats at the end of the day
00:05:11.300 they are willfully complicit in in an open door policy to terrorists who want to harm
00:05:19.740 americans you've been there when ray's been testifying and and you know ray uh the fbi
00:05:24.820 director do democrats ask any tough questions of him like hey we know how many are on the watch
00:05:31.720 list that we've gotten right that were on the watch list but do they even care about the gotaways or is
00:05:37.140 it is it if i don't ask and it doesn't exist and then i don't have to be held politically accountable
00:05:41.520 for it democrats will not ask a single question about illegal immigration they will not ask a
00:05:47.300 single question about gotaways they will not ask a single question about the children being brutalized
00:05:53.060 by human traffickers they will not ask a single question about the women being sexually assaulted
00:05:57.440 by human traffickers their approach is just hide from the issue they don't have a defense
00:06:03.120 so they ask totally you know what they'll ask about white supremacists that they'll get all worked up
00:06:10.940 about white supremacists mind you they're not concerned at all uh about the anti-semites on college
00:06:18.280 campuses well maybe it's because the people funding the anti-semites are also funding those
00:06:23.620 same democrats campaigns let's talk about the the political fallout of this if heaven forbid there's 1.00
00:06:29.820 an attack is part of the democrats defense they think that the american people are too stupid to 0.99
00:06:34.920 connect these dots i mean you see the report from nbc news you see chris foray out there warning you 0.99
00:06:39.400 you have a president that knows about it do they just assume that they that the media is going to
00:06:43.820 carry water for them that there is attack there will be no accountability for the people that allowed
00:06:47.680 for the open border policy which allowed them to come into this country i would be terrified if i 1.00
00:06:52.660 was a democrat running for re-election knowing this is a real possibility and the fbi director's warning
00:06:57.620 you you would think you'd want to say something on the record that says hey we got to get this under
00:07:02.460 control but ben i honestly don't know because they don't defend themselves they don't present an
00:07:06.860 argument they don't present any alternative listen they count on the corporate media to cover for them
00:07:12.220 to hide what they're doing and i think many of them are naive for them it is all politics
00:07:18.340 so it's not about safety or security of your family or their family or our family 11 million
00:07:23.200 illegal immigrants and they say these are future democrat voters and what we care about is staying 0.99
00:07:28.380 in power and if people have to die so be it because they know people are dying every single day
00:07:35.860 people are dying because of this open border and the democrats will do nothing to change it
00:07:41.020 it's who they are i don't know how many listeners of of verdict are phd students in economics but
00:07:49.200 there's a a theory called modern monetary theory and it's a bunch of gobbledygook that is designed
00:07:56.580 to basically justify big spending liberals just printing money like there's no tomorrow and it's all
00:08:04.400 sorts of fancy verbiage to explain it doesn't matter how much money you can print you can just spend
00:08:10.000 into oblivion everything will be fine we can afford free everything for everybody well
00:08:18.180 i want you to listen and i'm going to present this without further commentary i want you to listen
00:08:24.580 to jared bernstein who is the chairman of the council of economic advisors in the biden white house so he is
00:08:31.820 the top economist for joe biden explaining what modern monetary theory is and and i want you just to
00:08:43.620 understand this is the genius behind bidenomics take a look the u.s government can't go bankrupt
00:08:54.380 because we can print our own money it obviously begs the question why exactly are we borrowing in a
00:09:00.960 currency that we print ourselves i'm waiting for someone to stand up and say why do we borrow our
00:09:07.500 own currency in the first place like you said they print the dollar so why why does the government even
00:09:14.020 borrow well um the uh so the i mean again some of this stuff gets some of the language that the mm some of
00:09:27.340 the language and concepts are just confusing i mean the government definitely prints money and it
00:09:32.040 definitely lends that money which is why uh the government definitely prints money and then it
00:09:36.960 lends that money by uh by selling bonds uh is that what they do they they um they yeah they they um
00:09:46.920 they sell bonds yeah they sell bonds right since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and lend them
00:09:52.520 the money yeah so a lot of times a lot of times at least to my ear with mmt the the language and the
00:09:59.620 concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing but there is no question that the government prints money
00:10:04.940 and then it uses that money to um uh uh uh so um yeah i i guess i'm just i don't i can't really talk
00:10:16.600 i don't i don't get it i don't know what they're talking about like because it's like the government
00:10:22.740 clearly prints money it does it all the time and it clearly borrows otherwise we wouldn't be having
00:10:28.240 this debt and deficit conversation so i don't think there's anything confusing there wherever he went to
00:10:34.580 college i really think they should take back their diploma and this is the guy who's the top economic
00:10:39.940 guy at the white house well let me just say every economic policy of joe biden has flowed directly
00:10:46.980 from the genius and wisdom you just heard displayed now if you want to hear the rest of this conversation
00:10:53.960 you can go back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week canadian women are looking for 1.00
00:10:59.940 more more out of themselves their businesses their elected leaders and the world around them and that's
00:11:05.120 why we're thrilled to introduce the honest talk podcast i'm jennifer stewart and i'm katherine
00:11:10.320 clark and in this podcast we interview canada's most inspiring women entrepreneurs artists athletes
00:11:16.440 politicians and newsmakers all at different stages of their journey so if you're looking to connect
00:11:21.960 then we hope you'll join us listen to the honest talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to
00:11:27.100 your podcasts now on to story number two senator big tech is obviously had a massive
00:11:35.120 influence over public opinion in this country we saw a recent report that came out just on tiktok
00:11:41.880 for example where they were 45 to 1 stories that were pro-palestinian pro-hamas over israel
00:11:49.140 that's one example of how they've really been able to shape public opinion especially with young people
00:11:54.380 and the riots and the chaos we're witnessing on college campuses right now but there's also something
00:12:00.020 else that's happened with big tech i've been a victim of it i spoke out against big tech a few
00:12:05.100 years ago at a cpac convention and before i landed home after i spoke out about big tech
00:12:11.980 specifically facebook my accounts were shut down they have never worked the same way as they did
00:12:19.820 before the reach has disappeared i've witnessed it uh and many other conservative leaders out there
00:12:26.380 are going through the same things and it always seems to happen center right during a big election
00:12:32.920 cycle where the democrats get a free flow of information out and conservatives get hammered
00:12:38.780 and silenced well that's exactly right so i started last year as the ranking member on the senate committee
00:12:44.760 of commerce science and transportation and from that position as the ranking member which means the
00:12:49.900 senior republican on that committee i launched an investigation into the abuse of power from big tech
00:12:54.780 and this past week we put out a major report the report is entitled weaponizing terms of service
00:13:00.220 how online service providers use broad policies to silence conservatives now there are a lot of
00:13:06.360 instances that that we know about that get a lot of publicity we know for example that twitter
00:13:11.440 before elon musk purchased them suspended the account of the babylon b for making a joke about a
00:13:18.900 biden administration official we know that both facebook and twitter suppressed stories about hunter
00:13:24.700 biden's laptop before the 2020 election we know that facebook removed posts suggesting that covet 19
00:13:32.600 originated in a wuhan lab something we talked about at length on this podcast and a theory that has now
00:13:39.840 been confirmed both by the federal department of energy and the federal bureau of investigation
00:13:43.720 we know that youtube took down a march 2021 video of a panel discussion with florida governor ron de
00:13:52.100 sanis during which he disputed claims that children needed to wear face masks we know that youtube also which is
00:14:00.280 owned by google blocked access to a november 2023 episode of this podcast verdict because we were
00:14:07.840 criticizing the corporate media's favorable coverage of hamas and and youtube deemed
00:14:13.480 okay you must be an adult to see what is on the network news we also know in 2022 direct tv
00:14:20.840 dropped one america news network and less than a year after democrat leaders in congress sent a letter
00:14:26.840 to the ceo calling on them to stop carrying the network we also know they did the same thing to
00:14:31.880 newsmax now i lit direct tv up and they ended up bringing newsmax back we also know that intuit
00:14:38.920 at the direction of its banking partners refused to provide payment processing and payroll services
00:14:45.400 to gun manufacturers and and sellers and we know that jp morgan chase closed the account of the national
00:14:54.520 committee of religious freedom which was created by former state department ambassador at large for
00:15:00.280 international religious freedom and former u.s senator sam brownback we know that gofundme blocked the
00:15:06.840 release of 10 million dollars of donations to the canadian truckers freedom convoy we've seen that
00:15:13.720 happen over and over and over again well what this report does is it lays out an entirely new area
00:15:21.960 of discrimination and it is using web-based products and services online service providers
00:15:28.600 to ban conservative organizations from using their technology and it's going after the infrastructure
00:15:36.200 that is needed to communicate and and in fact this this investigation reveals that online service
00:15:41.640 providers are following a playbook for silencing conservatives that leftist organizations including
00:15:49.480 the southern poverty law center which is wildly left-wing and hates conservatives and the anti-defamation
00:15:55.560 league the adl they together put together this strategy this playbook to quote remove infrastructure
00:16:02.280 services that conservative organizations need to operate and and so i'm going to describe that playbook
00:16:08.360 and what they're doing in particular when you look at their playbook and this this amount of influence
00:16:14.760 i mean this can change and alter certainly an election cycle it can certainly i would argue change a
00:16:21.240 presidential uh election as well and that's the reason why they're doing this when when you think
00:16:28.920 about you know you've got millions of people that follow you uh facebook i've got you know over a
00:16:34.280 million but if you turn off and throttle either one of us then the reach that we have compared to the
00:16:41.560 left it just disappears it's the it's the old saying right if a big tree falls in the forest and no one's
00:16:47.160 around did it make a sound and that's exactly what they did but it wasn't just to one or two people
00:16:53.400 they were doing this to hundreds of top conservative voices that that people look to for their opinions
00:17:02.440 specifically when it comes to election year issues so that's exactly right and what this report focuses
00:17:08.920 on is it uses a couple of key examples it uses number one slack's removal of libs of tick tock's workspace
00:17:15.480 it focuses on event brights removal of event pages for events related to matt walsh's what is a woman
00:17:22.360 documentary as well as an event where riley gains was scheduled to speak and it focuses on bontera's
00:17:29.080 termination of its relationship with independent women's forum which deprived that organization of
00:17:34.840 major non-profit technology service provider services and and all of this follows there was a report that was
00:17:41.720 put out by the anti-defamation league and it is called bad gateway how deep platforming affects extremist
00:17:50.120 websites and and here's what the adl recommended it says quote deep platforming websites removing
00:17:57.800 infrastructure services they need to operate such as website hosting can reduce the spread and reach of
00:18:03.800 extremism and hate online but when does deep platforming succeed and here's what adl explained
00:18:09.400 quote this report shows that deep platforming can decrease the popularity of extremist websites
00:18:14.760 especially when done without warning and and they go through we learned four important lessons about how
00:18:22.920 deep platforming affects extremist websites by which they mean anything right of center
00:18:27.720 number one it can cause popularity rankings to decrease immediately number two it may take users a long
00:18:37.240 time to return to the website sometimes the website never regains its previous popularity
00:18:44.040 bingo number three unexpected and unexpected is key unexpected deep platforming makes it take longer
00:18:52.520 for the website to regain its previous popularity levels and number four replicating deep platform
00:18:59.080 services such as discussions discussion forums or live streaming video products on a standalone website
00:19:05.960 presents significant challenges including higher costs and smaller audiences now i want to go into a
00:19:15.080 little bit more this is what the adl report it has an entire section that says what is deep platforming
00:19:20.520 and by the way the corporate media insists when we talk about deep platforming that we're making it up
00:19:25.320 well if you actually read the blueprint they are very explicit the left is explicit they want to silence you so
00:19:33.000 let me read from this adl report quote there are three main categories of infrastructure
00:19:39.320 that keep websites running domain registrars web hosting companies and security protection companies
00:19:48.120 number one the website must be able to register and keep a domain name a domain name such as google.com
00:19:54.840 or adl.org is how visitors find a site if a website is removed from domain name services it becomes
00:20:03.320 much more difficult if not impossible to find number two web hosting companies and content distribution
00:20:10.520 networks provide digital storage space for all the files pictures videos and software that make up the
00:20:17.880 content of the content of a website when a website loses its hosting provider the site's content
00:20:23.960 disappears losing a cdn a content distribution network can cause slow service for high traffic sites and
00:20:31.960 number three a third category of infrastructure provider includes companies that protect websites
00:20:38.840 from external security risks such as distributed denial of service ddos attacks ddos attacks flood a website
00:20:47.480 with fake traffic to overwhelm it rendering it unable to answer normal user requests if an infrastructure
00:20:54.920 company such as a network security firm cloudfare refuses to provide ddos protection to a vulnerable
00:21:02.440 website it is vulnerable to being flooded with traffic rendering it inaccessible as before if you want
00:21:10.840 to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic you can go back and download the podcast from

00:21:54.920 about what's also happening at the border the president of the united states of america has come out and it's
00:22:01.800 pretty clear we now know what his uh reelection campaign slogan i guess for the onslaught of illegal
00:22:09.080 immigrants coming into this country is going to be it is we need to start handing out amnesty 1.00
00:22:14.760 somehow that's going to fix the problems in this country and it's something that we can all be proud of
00:22:21.720 if we give amnesty here is the president of the united states of america in his own words i love it when
00:22:27.720 people say why dreamers can you imagine a kid two years old saying mom don't take him across
00:22:32.840 real ground it's against the law give me a break these have been model citizens congress has to act
00:22:39.640 and the right thing to do is to keep pushing forward until we get it done get it done so there's his
00:22:45.080 famous line get it done so he is doubling down now not only do we have a wide open borders we have
00:22:50.200 countless uh millions of illegal immigrants coming in but he refuses to admit the carnage that is taking 1.00
00:22:55.800 place to the southern border and now it's pushing for amnesty part one which would be all of these uh
00:23:01.880 as he describes them dreamers uh and then the next part would be well more illegal immigrants and then
00:23:07.160 part three would be even more illegal immigrants this is what he's doing for this election well listen 0.98
00:23:13.000 biden's making clear that joe biden and the democrats they stand with illegal immigrants and
00:23:17.960 given the choice between illegal immigrants and american citizens they're with the illegals given the 0.87
00:23:22.760 choice between criminals and law-abiding citizens they're with criminals and and and that is a
00:23:28.040 consistent theme it's why 11 million people across into this country illegally because they look at
00:23:33.720 those 11 million illegal immigrants and they say hey those are future democrat voters we stay in power 0.99
00:23:38.120 if we let them in and they turn a blind eye to the people who are suffering and dying you know who
00:23:45.160 joe biden didn't talk about this week who was that he didn't talk about marvin perez lopez now who is
00:23:53.320 marvin perez lopez well he was arrested the last couple of days he is an immigrant from guatemala he
00:23:59.400 was arrested over the weekend for kidnapping a minor under the age of 13 and sexual assault that's
00:24:06.600 according to palm beach county sheriff's office uh marvin perez lopez was in the country illegally was
00:24:13.160 arrested on may 4th perez lopez reportedly left guatemala in early january crossed through mexico
00:24:19.320 and what did he do he turned himself into the border patrol but of course joe biden being
00:24:26.280 a democrat he turned around he let him go do you know when perez lopez was given a court date
00:24:32.920 i i i'm afraid you're gonna say years from the moment they let him go 2027 there you go 2027 he was
00:24:40.920 released he went to florida and then he turned around and he's now been charged with kidnapping
00:24:46.600 a minor under the age of 13 and sexual assault now we're not going to say the minor's name but we are
00:24:52.600 going to point out week after week after week every single week there's another violent crime committed
00:24:59.880 by an illegal immigrant joe biden releases and what is he is he talking about that does he care about
00:25:05.240 this child who was kidnapped and sexually assaulted the answer has to be no now look
00:25:11.800 when i say that ben some people might say gosh that's harsh what do you mean he doesn't care about
00:25:16.760 a child kidnapped and assaulted if he cared he would stop releasing illegal immigrants you can't keep 1.00
00:25:27.320 doing it when you see hey when i do this children get kidnapped and raped maybe i should stop doing
00:25:34.440 this that that's actually what someone who cared about the crime and wanted to prevent the next child
00:25:40.840 from being kidnapped and raped would do joe biden and by the way every single democrat in congress
00:25:47.720 without exception every single senator every single house member they don't care either why do i know 0.61
00:25:53.880 they don't care because if they cared they'd be willing to stand up to biden and say enough
00:26:00.200 is enough stop releasing violent criminal illegal aliens and in the senate every single time i force
00:26:06.680 a vote and i've done it over and over and over again every democrat all of them vote in favor of
00:26:14.120 releasing illegal immigrants even if they're committing crimes against children in america yeah i i know 1.00
00:26:20.280 there's you know the old saying you know see no evil hear no evil right and then you can insulate
00:26:24.760 yourself the democrats though have heard enough to know just how bad it is at the border and now
00:26:32.680 every state's a border state and and seeing how bad it is with what's happening whether it's in new
00:26:37.640 york city whether it's in denver colorado i mean it's widespread the the chaos and the anarchy
00:26:44.040 and the destruction and the abuse of children the the sexual abuse uh the the human trafficking
00:26:50.760 the drugs the fentanyl is there any of your colleagues that truly still don't know or is 0.80
00:26:57.400 this just a if we don't talk about then we don't have to admit what we already know look it's hypocrisy
00:27:03.000 i'll tell you tonight i was in a classified briefing in the senate i was a classified briefing
00:27:08.280 talking about all sorts of things including threats of terrorism uh in the united states and and
00:27:13.720 there was a democrat senator who at some point was sharing that based on the on the briefings he'd
00:27:19.400 received there's an enormous risk of terrorism he's deeply worried we do much more to prevent it
00:27:25.320 and i remember sitting there and thinking gosh what you're saying sounds very reasonable
00:27:30.600 why do you keep voting in favor of releasing 11 million illegal immigrants 0.99
00:27:36.920 like at some point you can't claim i'm worried about the threat of a terrorist attack
00:27:43.000 when you have nearly two million gotaways when you have iran calling for global jihad against america
00:27:48.840 when they have hezbollah and hamas calling for global jihad and the biden administration letting
00:27:53.240 them go and he was what was interesting is sitting in this classified briefing this democrat senator
00:27:57.720 sounded emphatic he sounded believable i'm like wow he's really worried about a terrorist attack
00:28:04.760 but you know what just a couple of weeks ago we had a vote on the impeachment of alejandro mayorkas
00:28:10.120 who has let 11 million illegal immigrants go and this democrat along with every single other 0.96
00:28:16.120 democrat voted to throw the case out to hear no evidence they didn't care about the risk of
00:28:21.320 terrorism that's the simple reality one other thing and you talk about hypocrisy which does make me
00:28:27.560 laugh the democratic convention is going to be held in chicago and we're now hearing that ahead of the
00:28:37.000 democratic convention they are going to clear out the area for of illegal immigrants take a listen to 1.00
00:28:43.560 this from local mbc news in chicago strong reactions tonight from residents after learning
00:28:50.120 mayor brandon johnson is considering plans to open a new temporary migrant shelter in their south side
00:28:55.320 neighborhood and he don't know where to put him where why would you put him in our neighborhood
00:28:59.880 well why don't we go by your house all of that money that he's giving them we've been begging for
00:29:04.840 years we've lived here our whole life we have a lot of bad things that happen here already we do not
00:29:10.120 need this we just do not located just blocks away from guaranteed rate fields the proposed building
00:29:15.640 near canal in pershing is in the city's 11th ward look at where it's at it's it's it's hit in the back
00:29:22.440 why is that a good location we we have no amenities here as it is alderwoman nicole issued this letter 0.83
00:29:28.200 to constituents yesterday saying she was notified earlier this week and met with the mayor on thursday
00:29:33.800 she says the city wants to move migrants staying at the standard club near the dirts and federal
00:29:38.200 building to her ward before the democratic national convention this is just insane it doesn't make sense
00:29:44.760 keep them downtown keep them i don't know i mean this is not our problem the alder woman made it clear
00:29:50.120 she is against the proposed plan citing safety and location concerns and lack of justification for
00:29:55.320 the move she says quote as our city grapples with this unprecedented influx of migrants it is crucial 1.00
00:30:01.720 that we handle the migrant crisis safely responsibly and with full transparency the well-being of our
00:30:07.880 communities must be the top priority all we want to do is house our veterans and they're getting kicked 1.00
00:30:12.920 to the side for the people who didn't do anything for this country yet those men and women honorably
00:30:18.360 served they should be coming first i i love the last guy there talking about our veterans but you go
00:30:24.920 back to why they're doing this senator re behind the lines here this is because the residents are
00:30:33.640 downtown in the area where the dnc is going to be they're saying hey we got to clean this up it's got
00:30:38.120 to be nice and friendly and look good for the democratic national convention uh we we got to move
00:30:43.080 them out of this area all right throw them out there in this other part of this of the city
00:30:47.560 yeah no that's exactly right and i thought the most revealing comment in that that montage you
00:30:52.120 played was the alderman saying this is not our problem now she's a democrat all of those elected 0.55
00:30:58.120 officials are democrats they keep voting for democrats they vote for a wild left-wing democrat
00:31:02.280 mayor they vote for a wild left-wing democrat governor they vote for a wild left-wing democrat
00:31:06.840 senator they vote for a wild left-wing democrat president every one of those supports an invasion of
00:31:13.240 this country of illegal immigrants and they say well this is not our problem send them to texas 1.00
00:31:17.320 send them to florida send anywhere other than our state but we want them to keep coming in because you
00:31:21.880 know what we want them to show up in texas and florida and we want them to vote democrats so we can be in
00:31:25.560 power but we don't actually want to deal with this invasion the hypocrisy is massive and if you want to
00:31:31.640 change this we need to have some real accountability if they want open borders we ought to send every
00:31:38.760 single one of them to these blue jurisdictions until they realize 11 million people this is not
00:31:45.160 right they're doing it to texas they're doing it to florida and by the way they're doing it to every 0.84
00:31:48.760 other state in the union but they're trying to be utter hypocrites and say don't do it to our own community
