00:12:34.700Is it Republicans trying to smack him in the general election?
00:12:38.240Or is it instead Democrats who want to jettison him?
00:12:44.060And in particular, if you look at the main law, under main law, a candidate who wins the June 9th primary and subsequently withdraws by 5 p.m. on July 13th.
00:12:57.800So this is a narrow window. We have just over a month.
00:13:00.020By the way, make sure you mark your calendar for that date. That date matters.
00:13:03.420July 13th, may be replaced by a nominee selected by party officials.
00:13:11.580Any replacement candidate must be chosen no later than 5 p.m. on July 27th.
00:13:18.040The timeline would give Democrats just 14 days to settle on a replacement candidate and prepare for the general election campaign.
00:13:25.140So, I doubt Plattner is on board with this, but by the way, Swalwell wasn't on board with his defenestration.
00:13:32.660I mean, he was forcibly ejected and did not have a vote in the matter.
00:13:37.980I am quite sure Plattner is not liking his oyster farming being exposed to all of Maine and all of this country.
00:13:47.000But you have at least some Democrats who are saying, gosh, this guy's becoming a liability.
00:15:41.300Understand, being a Nazi communist is not a negative in the Democrat Party today.0.51
00:15:45.880It is a plus, because the people who are fueling these campaigns are themselves self-described communists, and far too many of them are Nazi communists.0.50
00:16:42.680The only one who did was John Fetterman.
00:16:44.440And Fetterman, to his credit, did the right thing.0.98
00:16:47.020But that makes the other 46 look all the more hypocritical.0.97
00:16:51.760And he's still got big name people coming to stand on stage with him.0.87
00:16:55.040Like, that's what's incredible. Like, he's not canceling campaign events, but you actually have what I would refer to as your top one percent list of Democratic lawmakers that you want to be seen on stage with.
00:17:07.820If you're running a Democratic campaign, it's the equivalent of having you send or go to a Republican campaign like it's on the short list of people you want to you want to campaign with.
00:17:16.580They're not backing out of standing by him so far.
00:17:19.880Just today I saw a tweet from Ro Khanna, the very, very rich, very, very liberal Democrat from Silicon Valley, member of Congress.
00:17:27.560He said how proud he is to be going to Maine to campaign with Graham Plattner.
00:21:43.100U.S. probe of embattled U.N. Gaza Relief Agency now expands to 1,500-plus staffers suspected with direct ties to Hamas.
00:21:54.840Now, that would be direct ties to a terrorist organization.
00:21:57.760Senator, we've been warning about this for a long time
00:22:00.520The president talked about how worthless in many ways the United Nations can be
00:22:05.400Certainly in the Middle East, this is another example of this0.98
00:22:07.880We know that Hamas had worked with the United Nations people on the ground
00:22:11.680Food had been stolen, countless dollars of aid had been stolen and given to terrorists
00:22:15.640And now you see a compromising of UN staff of up to 1,500 plus people
00:22:22.300I wish I could say I'm surprised by this
00:22:25.260I am not, but what does this story say about what America's role should be moving forward?
00:22:30.760Look, for a long time, I've called for UNRWA to be completely defunded, to be shut down.
00:22:36.180UNRWA is so bad, it makes the UN itself seem like a pro-America, fantastic organization with integrity.
00:22:44.480UNRWA is part of the UN, but it is the most corrupt part.
00:22:48.940Here's what was reported in the story by Adam Credo.
00:22:52.940The federal investigation into staff at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, the UN-Gaza Relief Organization that has been closely linked to Hamas, will soon encompass at least 1,500 unrelinked individuals suspected of terror ties.
00:23:09.280This unprecedented dragnet, reported here for the first time by the Washington Free Beacon,
00:23:14.160exposes an aid group brimming with Hamas operatives and is generating momentum in
00:23:20.240Congress and the Trump administration for harsher sanctions on the embattled aid group,
00:23:24.740according to congressional staffers briefed on the matter. The punitive matters up for
00:23:29.060consideration include stripping UNRWA of its diplomatic immunity under U.S. law,
00:23:33.600which would open it up to legal action from terror victims,
00:23:37.200and fully designating the aid organization as a foreign terrorist organization,
00:23:41.880according to three Trump administration officials and other sources tracking the matter in Congress.
00:23:46.980These discussions have accelerated since the Free Beacon first reported in April
00:23:50.800that UNRWA and other U.N. agencies are stonewalling a federal probe into their ties to Hamas.
00:23:57.400The U.S. Agency for International Development, Inspector General's Office,
00:24:01.120a law enforcement agency separate from the largely defunct USAID, has spent months independently
00:24:08.820unearthing evidence that multiple UNRWA employees participated in Hamas's October 7th terror attack.
00:24:15.900Let me repeat that again. Multiple UNRWA employees participated in Hamas's October 7th
00:24:24.780terror attack. The probe will soon expand to at least 1,500 suspected militants with UNRWA ties.
00:24:32.420The article continues. Senators Ted Cruz and Bill Hagerty, influential members of the Senate
00:24:37.340Foreign Relations Committee, nice of them to say that, both told the Free Beacon, I mean they could
00:24:42.900have said, you know, lousy members. Those two random guys in the Senate, yeah. Two guys we ran
00:24:49.620into on the street, so that's nice of them to say. Both told the Free Beacon that it's time to move
00:24:54.080beyond merely freezing UNRWA's funding, particularly as the USAID inspector general
00:24:58.720continues to unearth evidence of Hamas complicity. Quote, either they come clean or I expect growing0.68
00:25:05.200momentum for designating them for the support they give to terrorists, Cruz said. Hagerty called it
00:25:10.920quote, appalling that the other UN agencies today are still stonewalling the Trump administration's
00:25:15.880ongoing investigations. Adding that quote, if UN agencies refuse to show basic transparency and
00:25:23.040accountability, then the executive branch and Congress must respond appropriately. That's a
00:25:29.000big deal, and it's a big deal that both the UN and UNRWA in particular are still stonewalling
00:25:34.680and refusing to accept any accountability whatsoever. Yeah, it is. One other thing on
00:25:40.080this is the fact that it's so widespread. There is no way that the United Nations didn't know
00:25:45.780about this. There was no way that UNRWA and the leadership didn't know about this, and we're not
00:25:50.120talking about 15. We're talking about more than 1,500 with direct ties to terrorist organization.
00:25:55.080What does that say about the president's standpoint on not just UNRWA, but also
00:25:59.160on the UN in general? Because I don't believe for a moment that the UN doesn't know this.
00:26:05.680Well, let's talk about how pervasive it is. So, Ben, how many employees do you think there are
00:26:11.140at UNRWA? That's a great question. I have no clue. I mean, I'd say 10,000 just because it's
00:26:15.620a bloated agency? Yeah, I had no idea. And so as we were preparing for the pod, I pulled out my
00:26:22.660Google and I typed in, how many staff are there at UNRWA? And Google came back and said there
00:26:28.800are approximately 30,000 staff at UNRWA. We now have an investigation into more than 1,500 of
00:26:37.120them for direct ties to Hamas. That's 5% of the agency. That's not one isolated person. 1,500
00:26:45.440out of 30,000 suspected of being Hamas terrorist or directly linked to Hamas terrorists. That is
00:26:52.980a big damn deal. That is an agency that needs to shut down, needs to be padlocked, needs to be0.98
00:27:00.220ended. The idea that the United Nations, much less the United States, would be providing funding
00:27:06.120that's going directly to Hamas terrorists, that is insanity. It needs to stop.
00:27:11.180Yeah, I agree with you there. I want to move finally on to Joe Biden, and you want to talk
00:35:23.060But they were willing to have for four years and potentially for eight years someone who was senile, who was unable to put together coherent thoughts as the commander in chief.
00:35:34.880understand joe biden could have pushed a button launched our nukes and annihilated mankind from
00:35:41.640the face of the planet yep and yet democrats say you know what if he's there we get to run things
00:35:47.880so you know what does it matter if our enemies look at the commander-in-chief and think he's a
00:35:52.500addled old man who can't operate the tv remote control yeah that level of cynicism frankly it's0.95
00:35:59.280the same thought process that says, what does it matter if someone is a commie, Nazi, misogynist0.98
00:36:07.460racist? What does it matter? My party gets to stay in power, so that's good by me. There is,0.98
00:36:15.740look, I think it is, number one, we keep, and by the way, Swalwell, they were fine. Someone's a
00:36:22.920repeat sexual predator. They were great with him until there was a political problem, and then with0.99
00:36:28.820all three, they immediately jettison them and throw them out the back.
00:36:36.860I'm going to try to be restrained and say that is not the behavior of a party that gives a damn about principle.
