00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.520 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.180 Welcome. It is Verdict with Ted Cruz.
00:00:07.580 Week in Review.
00:00:09.240 Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:10.500 And these are the stories that you may have missed
00:00:12.620 that we talked about this past week.
00:00:14.860 First up, Republicans move for accountability
00:00:17.820 on the border crisis, specifically with Mayorkas.
00:00:21.840 Also, the White House has one terrible message for Israel.
00:00:26.300 And they have continued to allow them to hang out to dry.
00:00:30.300 We'll have the latest on that.
00:00:31.900 And finally, how did the Democrats actually stop
00:00:35.980 the impeachment inquiry into Mayorkas in the Senate?
00:00:41.360 Senator Cruz explains all of that.
00:00:43.680 It's the Week in Review, and it starts right now.
00:00:47.020 There's also the fact that I think a lot of people believe,
00:00:50.260 and I think you would agree with this,
00:00:52.060 that there has been zero accountability for Secretary Mayorkas
00:00:57.360 just flat-out lying to Congress.
00:01:00.060 This is something that he said, and I want to get your take.
00:01:03.900 I've adhered to the oath to which I have sworn,
00:01:10.160 and I have abided by the law each and every step of the way.
00:01:14.360 That's not true, is it? That's a lie.
00:01:16.600 It's an absolute lie, and actually there's a whole provision
00:01:19.500 of these articles of impeachment that lay out
00:01:21.620 how Mayorkas has repeatedly lied to Congress.
00:01:25.560 Now, it's interesting.
00:01:26.780 One of the things that the articles of impeachment also lay out
00:01:29.720 is that, okay, so the Democrats are going to take the position.
00:01:33.880 This is a policy difference that, okay,
00:01:37.240 the Biden administration just, they won't quite say it,
00:01:41.060 but believes in open borders, so they're going to let people go,
00:01:43.440 but it's not impeachable.
00:01:45.360 It's not an offense.
00:01:48.120 What is interesting is that was not the position
00:01:51.140 of the Biden Justice Department.
00:01:52.900 So you had litigation in front of the court
00:01:55.580 where Texas sued the Biden administration
00:01:58.540 trying to get the court to say
00:02:00.840 the Biden administration is refusing
00:02:02.780 to follow immigration law.
00:02:07.480 And I'm going to read from the articles of impeachment.
00:02:09.360 The dissenting justice in that case noted,
00:02:13.640 quote,
00:02:14.080 The court holds that Texas lacks standing
00:02:16.320 to challenge a federal policy
00:02:17.820 that inflicts substantial harm on the state
00:02:20.600 and its residents
00:02:21.400 by releasing illegal aliens 0.91
00:02:23.420 with criminal convictions for serious crimes.
00:02:26.000 In order to reach that conclusion,
00:02:27.700 the court holds that the only limit
00:02:29.420 on the power of the president
00:02:30.460 to disobey a law like the important provisions
00:02:33.800 at issue is Congress's power
00:02:36.160 to employ the weapons of inter-branch warfare.
00:02:40.180 As the dissenting justice explained,
00:02:42.640 quote,
00:02:43.320 Congress may wield what the solicitor general
00:02:45.660 described as political tools,
00:02:48.260 which presumably mean such things
00:02:50.620 as impeachment and removal.
00:02:53.960 Indeed, during oral arguments,
00:02:55.920 the justice who authored the majority opinion
00:02:57.580 stated this to the solicitor general,
00:02:59.440 quote,
00:03:00.120 I think your position is,
00:03:02.060 instead of judicial review,
00:03:03.540 Congress has to resort
00:03:05.480 to shutting down the government
00:03:06.660 or impeachment
00:03:07.500 or dramatic steps.
00:03:10.540 That is what
00:03:11.960 the Biden Justice Department argued
00:03:13.880 is that impeachment is the remedy
00:03:15.560 when a president,
00:03:19.140 a cabinet member
00:03:19.900 refuses to follow the law,
00:03:21.440 defies the law.
00:03:22.340 The Biden Justice Department argued
00:03:23.620 that in front of the U.S. Supreme Court,
00:03:25.140 and yet, you know what?
00:03:27.400 Today, the Democrats are going to say,
00:03:29.000 nope, impeachment's not the remedy.
00:03:31.300 If you have an executive who defies the law,
00:03:33.620 it doesn't matter.
00:03:34.480 We're going to rubber stamp it,
00:03:35.560 and we're not even going to hold a trial.
00:03:37.280 And by the way,
00:03:37.840 every Democrat will tell the reporters,
00:03:40.060 there was no evidence
00:03:41.340 of a high crime and misdemeanor.
00:03:43.540 Now, of course,
00:03:44.000 they'll say there was no evidence
00:03:45.240 because they're about to vote
00:03:46.380 to block all the evidence
00:03:48.200 so they don't hear any evidence.
00:03:49.620 So then they can say,
00:03:50.680 we didn't hear any evidence.
00:03:52.500 And the reason they didn't hear any evidence
00:03:53.800 is because they're going to refuse
00:03:54.980 to hear any evidence.
00:03:55.740 And why are they going to refuse
00:03:56.900 to hear any evidence?
00:03:57.760 It's because they don't want
00:03:59.100 the American people to hear the evidence.
00:04:01.100 And part of what they don't want them to hear
00:04:02.920 is the reality of what it's like
00:04:04.260 out there on the streets.
00:04:05.240 Bill Malusian did some great reporting
00:04:07.020 yesterday on Fox News Channel
00:04:09.040 about elite ICE unit
00:04:10.820 is tracking down migrant criminals,
00:04:12.860 specifically child rapists. 0.55
00:04:15.480 This is while Mayorkas stared at Congress 0.91
00:04:18.120 and said the border is secure.
00:04:19.900 The border is secure.
00:04:21.200 He said that to Congress.
00:04:22.940 He was lying.
00:04:23.460 Take a listen to this from Fox.
00:04:24.800 A short time later,
00:04:26.180 ICE took down their final target,
00:04:28.220 a Brazilian gang member
00:04:29.600 also charged with child rape.
00:04:32.500 Just this morning today,
00:04:33.980 four accused child rapists
00:04:35.520 and one MS-13 gang member.
00:04:37.400 Those are the kind of people
00:04:38.180 you're going after.
00:04:39.040 That's every day up here in Boston.
00:04:41.480 Those are the public safety threats
00:04:42.520 that we really want to get off the street.
00:04:43.920 It was a great day for the teams.
00:04:44.920 That's five public safety threats
00:04:46.140 that are on in the community
00:04:47.520 going to go ahead
00:04:48.360 and victimize anyone else.
00:04:49.520 And ICE says all of those arrests
00:04:54.160 you just saw happen
00:04:55.160 because local authorities
00:04:56.600 ignored their detainer request
00:04:58.580 to keep these guys in custody
00:05:00.000 due to sanctuary policies.
00:05:01.940 ICE says all of those suspects
00:05:03.440 will remain in federal custody
00:05:05.260 until their local charges are resolved.
00:05:07.700 Then ICE will seek to deport
00:05:09.480 every single one of them.
00:05:12.120 Four alleged child rapists
00:05:14.380 arrested in the morning
00:05:16.000 and they said they're doing this every day
00:05:18.560 and local law enforcement
00:05:20.480 is not working with them
00:05:21.760 because local municipalities
00:05:23.280 have said we're sanctuary cities. 0.98
00:05:26.000 So these child rapists
00:05:27.320 that should have been held
00:05:28.760 by local authorities are not
00:05:30.560 and yet this administration says
00:05:32.560 no, no, no, we're following the law.
00:05:33.920 Everything's fine.
00:05:35.040 Every single week
00:05:36.440 the Biden administration
00:05:37.880 is releasing thousands upon thousands
00:05:39.920 of illegal aliens. 0.75
00:05:41.040 That includes murderers. 1.00
00:05:42.040 That includes rapists. 1.00
00:05:42.980 That includes child molesters. 0.99
00:05:44.620 Every single week
00:05:46.060 we are seeing another horrific crime
00:05:48.040 committed by an illegal alien
00:05:50.020 released by Joe Biden
00:05:51.380 and the Democrats.
00:05:52.240 Week after week after week
00:05:53.840 whether it was Lake and Riley
00:05:54.840 in Georgia
00:05:55.420 and the horrific murder
00:05:56.960 that occurred
00:05:57.520 from an illegal alien 0.96
00:05:58.900 that Joe Biden
00:05:59.640 and the Democrats released.
00:06:01.020 Whether it was Jeremy Caceres
00:06:02.480 a beautiful two-year-old boy
00:06:04.060 in Prince George's County, Maryland
00:06:05.640 just a few miles
00:06:07.180 from where I am right now in D.C. 0.78
00:06:09.320 murdered by an illegal alien
00:06:10.800 that Joe Biden released.
00:06:12.420 Or whether it was
00:06:13.420 a 15-year-old girl
00:06:15.600 in Boston, Massachusetts
00:06:16.840 severely disabled 0.56
00:06:19.040 who was raped 0.99
00:06:21.220 by an illegal alien 0.98
00:06:22.960 that not only did Biden released
00:06:24.900 he flew from Haiti
00:06:27.240 to America.
00:06:28.620 So we've covered
00:06:29.820 on this podcast
00:06:30.520 how 320,000 illegal immigrants
00:06:32.800 were flown into America
00:06:34.060 by the Biden administration.
00:06:35.840 He literally imported 0.99
00:06:37.480 in a child rapist 0.96
00:06:39.620 who's now been arrested 1.00
00:06:40.580 for raping the severely disabled 1.00
00:06:42.420 15-year-old teenager. 0.98
00:06:44.780 This is happening
00:06:45.920 week after week after week.
00:06:47.560 This is why the Democrats
00:06:48.440 don't argue on the other side.
00:06:50.020 What's the counter-argument
00:06:51.460 of no, it's good
00:06:52.940 a two-year-old boy is murdered.
00:06:54.180 No, it's good
00:06:54.800 that we have teenage girls 1.00
00:06:56.040 being raped. 0.98
00:06:56.940 There is no counter-argument. 0.99
00:06:59.680 So their counter-argument is
00:07:01.740 see no evil.
00:07:04.160 Their counter-argument
00:07:05.180 is John Tester
00:07:06.060 running from the Senate floor
00:07:07.220 and hiding in the cloakroom
00:07:08.200 because he doesn't want to listen
00:07:09.480 to what's happening
00:07:10.420 Why?
00:07:11.700 Because he intends
00:07:12.620 to vote today
00:07:13.460 to say no trial
00:07:14.660 no evidence
00:07:15.660 I don't want to know
00:07:17.160 I do not care
00:07:18.360 about the people dying
00:07:20.180 I'm a Democrat
00:07:21.820 I want Democrats
00:07:23.000 to be in power
00:07:23.880 10.4 million illegal immigrants
00:07:26.040 meet more Democrat voters
00:07:27.500 so if people have to die
00:07:29.660 for me to stay in power
00:07:31.000 as a Democrat
00:07:32.260 I'm okay with that.
00:07:33.420 I gotta say
00:07:34.200 look, it is difficult
00:07:35.800 for me not to get
00:07:36.640 really angry about this
00:07:38.320 because as a Texan
00:07:39.400 I see
00:07:40.160 I've looked in the eyes
00:07:41.680 when you go down
00:07:42.240 to the border
00:07:42.660 as I have over and over again
00:07:43.740 and you look in the eyes
00:07:44.620 of these little children
00:07:45.440 that have been brutalized
00:07:46.400 it makes you angry
00:07:47.920 that these people
00:07:49.540 tomorrow
00:07:50.440 more children 0.90
00:07:51.940 will be brutalized 0.93
00:07:52.800 tomorrow 1.00
00:07:53.320 more women 1.00
00:07:53.960 will be raped 0.99
00:07:54.620 and not a one of these 1.00
00:07:55.940 Democrats cares
00:07:57.020 not a one of them
00:07:58.040 will do anything
00:07:58.860 to change it
00:07:59.500 and they'll tell you
00:08:00.040 oh I care
00:08:00.620 but if you cared
00:08:02.580 you would change it
00:08:03.700 and not a one of them
00:08:04.660 is willing to do that.
00:08:05.900 I want to go back in time
00:08:07.300 and this is my orcas
00:08:08.760 in front of the White House
00:08:09.960 and then I'm going to compare it
00:08:12.140 to what Schumer said
00:08:12.960 last week.
00:08:13.960 Do you believe that right now
00:08:15.520 there is a crisis
00:08:16.240 at the border?
00:08:17.320 I think that the
00:08:18.460 the answer is no
00:08:20.000 I think there is a challenge
00:08:22.200 at the border
00:08:22.740 that we are managing
00:08:23.820 and we have our resources
00:08:25.600 dedicated to managing it.
00:08:27.820 That was March 1st 2021
00:08:29.800 Secretary Mayorkas
00:08:30.940 insisting
00:08:31.480 there's no crisis
00:08:32.600 at the border
00:08:33.020 despite that
00:08:33.720 millions of illegal immigrants
00:08:35.200 coming across
00:08:35.920 and literally thousands
00:08:37.440 of illegal crossings
00:08:38.460 per day.
00:08:39.700 Then you go to last week
00:08:41.680 Chuck Schumer
00:08:42.600 making it clear
00:08:43.940 this is a policy
00:08:46.560 now of the Democratic Party
00:08:48.060 to have an open border.
00:08:49.160 Colleagues say
00:08:49.720 you're going to offer
00:08:50.240 a motion to dismiss
00:08:51.600 the impeachment charges
00:08:52.620 on Thursday.
00:08:53.800 Are you at all concerned
00:08:54.640 that if some Democrats
00:08:55.860 in tough races
00:08:56.540 vote for that
00:08:57.140 they can come back
00:08:57.840 to hostile on the campaign trail?
00:08:59.360 Look we're going to try
00:09:00.280 and resolve this issue
00:09:01.460 as quickly as possible.
00:09:03.660 Impeachment should never be used
00:09:05.700 to settle policy disagreements.
00:09:08.980 Never be used
00:09:10.180 to settle policy disagreements.
00:09:11.900 This is the policy
00:09:12.840 of the Democratic Party
00:09:13.920 and Mayorkas
00:09:15.000 lied to your face
00:09:15.820 in March of 2021
00:09:17.300 saying that there's
00:09:18.720 no crisis at the border
00:09:19.700 and in their mind
00:09:20.660 from a policy viewpoint
00:09:22.340 Senator
00:09:22.720 I think it's abundantly clear
00:09:24.100 now they're on the record
00:09:24.980 saying a wide open
00:09:26.600 southern border
00:09:27.240 and millions of illegals
00:09:28.520 coming across
00:09:29.300 is not a crisis.
00:09:32.280 It's just a policy disagreement.
00:09:34.340 And it's the policy
00:09:35.100 they support.
00:09:36.400 And Schumer
00:09:36.800 repeated those
00:09:37.680 those two lines
00:09:38.540 at the press conference
00:09:39.400 about four more times
00:09:40.680 that said
00:09:41.640 we're going to try
00:09:42.100 to get rid of this
00:09:42.700 as quickly as possible
00:09:43.740 and impeachment
00:09:44.240 should never be used
00:09:45.040 for a policy dispute.
00:09:46.300 What's interesting
00:09:46.880 he didn't have a third line.
00:09:48.000 He was reading
00:09:48.580 those talking points.
00:09:49.540 He was being very precise.
00:09:51.080 He's not defending.
00:09:52.160 He's not saying
00:09:52.820 hey this is a good policy.
00:09:54.020 I agree with the policy
00:09:54.940 of the Biden administration.
00:09:55.940 I think it's great
00:09:56.520 we have an open border.
00:09:57.720 I think it's terrific
00:09:58.420 that we're releasing murderers.
00:09:59.640 I think it's terrific
00:10:00.220 that we're releasing rapists.
00:10:01.360 I think it's terrific 0.78
00:10:01.900 we're releasing child molesters.
00:10:03.220 We're releasing drunk drivers.
00:10:04.840 I think it's terrific
00:10:05.700 that 100,000 people
00:10:06.820 have died of drug overdoses
00:10:07.960 every year
00:10:08.660 and we keep allowing
00:10:09.420 more and more.
00:10:10.040 I think it's terrific
00:10:11.260 that in 2018
00:10:12.960 the Mexican drug cartels
00:10:14.740 made 500 million dollars
00:10:15.980 from human trafficking.
00:10:17.060 In 2022
00:10:17.780 they made 13 billion dollars.
00:10:20.360 I think it's fabulous
00:10:21.260 that we the Democrats
00:10:22.760 have produced
00:10:23.800 a 2,600 percent increase
00:10:26.180 in the revenue
00:10:27.140 for the Mexican drug cartels.
00:10:28.400 The biggest friends
00:10:30.440 the human traffickers
00:10:32.320 have ever had
00:10:33.200 in the history of humanity
00:10:34.460 have been Joe Biden
00:10:36.020 and Alejandro Mayorkas.
00:10:37.980 That is the simple reality
00:10:39.740 and none of that
00:10:40.600 does Chuck Schumer say
00:10:42.620 instead says
00:10:44.700 hey this is just
00:10:45.360 a policy dispute
00:10:46.260 you know
00:10:46.720 they the other side
00:10:48.500 believes in securing
00:10:49.320 the border
00:10:49.740 and we want this country invaded.
00:10:51.540 It is the policy
00:10:52.780 of the Democratic Party
00:10:53.660 and it's sad
00:10:54.280 but we're witnessing
00:10:55.000 the demise of this country
00:10:56.800 our borders
00:10:57.500 and our laws
00:10:58.500 at the hands of these people
00:10:59.960 and it is their policy
00:11:01.120 to do this.
00:11:01.660 America will come back though. 0.99
00:11:02.300 America will come back. 0.84
00:11:04.120 We are not witnessing
00:11:05.080 the demise
00:11:05.720 we are witnessing
00:11:06.380 the attempted demise
00:11:07.540 and I believe
00:11:08.700 in this country
00:11:09.380 I think we will come back
00:11:10.580 I think millions of Americans
00:11:12.020 are looking at this
00:11:12.820 and saying 0.94
00:11:13.420 holy crap 0.98
00:11:14.680 this is horrific 0.99
00:11:16.240 this is inhuman
00:11:17.540 this is wrong
00:11:18.460 that's why this trial
00:11:20.180 is so important
00:11:21.300 is there a lot of people
00:11:22.980 that still don't know
00:11:24.280 what's happening
00:11:24.960 they don't understand
00:11:26.020 if you watch CNN
00:11:27.560 every day
00:11:28.260 God help you
00:11:29.060 but you have no idea
00:11:31.420 because the media
00:11:32.260 are propagandists
00:11:33.260 that's why this trial
00:11:34.640 is important
00:11:35.540 but I think people's eyes
00:11:37.720 are opening up.
00:11:38.480 Now if you want to hear
00:11:39.740 the rest of this conversation
00:11:41.260 you can go back
00:11:42.260 and listen to the full podcast
00:11:43.840 from earlier this week
00:11:45.080 Canadian women

00:11:48.700 their businesses
00:11:49.560 their elected leaders
00:11:50.680 and the world around them

00:12:13.240 or wherever you listen
00:12:14.300 to your podcasts
00:12:15.020 now on to story number two
00:12:18.640 so you look at all of that
00:12:20.720 and then you see this
00:12:22.180 that just came out
00:12:23.340 from the National Security Council
00:12:25.720 statement
00:12:26.320 on Iranian attacks
00:12:27.820 on Israel
00:12:28.340 and I'm quoting
00:12:28.920 it says
00:12:29.400 President Biden
00:12:30.320 has been clear
00:12:31.340 our support
00:12:32.600 for Israel's
00:12:33.780 security
00:12:34.400 is ironclad
00:12:35.480 the U.S.
00:12:36.640 will stand
00:12:37.080 with the people
00:12:37.640 of Israel
00:12:38.040 and support
00:12:38.640 their defense
00:12:39.340 against these threats
00:12:40.620 from Iran
00:12:41.600 okay Senator
00:12:42.820 if that's true
00:12:44.000 then they have
00:12:45.860 to give them
00:12:46.500 what they need
00:12:47.080 this week
00:12:47.600 am I wrong
00:12:48.200 well if there was
00:12:50.280 anything like coherence
00:12:51.840 and logic
00:12:52.540 then yes
00:12:53.300 and number one
00:12:55.280 I'm going to predict
00:12:55.920 right now
00:12:56.420 Chuck Schumer
00:12:56.940 is going to do
00:12:57.360 everything he can
00:12:58.320 to block a vote
00:12:59.520 on emergency military
00:13:00.640 aid to Israel
00:13:01.380 I've called on it
00:13:02.660 I forced it already
00:13:03.540 once
00:13:04.020 my guess is
00:13:05.280 that he will
00:13:06.320 put in place
00:13:07.380 parliamentary tools
00:13:08.340 to prevent us
00:13:09.060 from using the same
00:13:09.900 technique again
00:13:10.880 and I think
00:13:13.420 the House
00:13:13.920 we've seen
00:13:14.520 the Speaker
00:13:14.960 of the House
00:13:15.500 and the Majority
00:13:16.440 Leader both say
00:13:17.200 that they're going
00:13:17.620 to vote out
00:13:18.220 an emergency
00:13:19.460 military aid bill
00:13:20.500 this week
00:13:20.960 so we'll get
00:13:21.380 another one
00:13:21.780 that comes over
00:13:22.360 to us
00:13:22.800 and my prediction
00:13:24.900 is the Democrats
00:13:25.640 won't back it
00:13:26.400 they don't want
00:13:27.280 to send
00:13:27.980 military aid
00:13:29.680 to Israel
00:13:30.120 and part of the
00:13:30.680 problem is
00:13:31.160 they've got a crisis
00:13:32.340 in their caucus
00:13:33.240 and their crisis
00:13:34.180 is that the radicals
00:13:36.440 the Tlaibs 0.98
00:13:37.140 and Omars
00:13:37.800 they more and more
00:13:39.260 represent the mainstream
00:13:40.520 of the Democrat Party
00:13:41.620 and so Schumer
00:13:42.460 is terrified of Michigan
00:13:43.780 Biden is terrified
00:13:44.800 of Michigan
00:13:45.420 they're terrified
00:13:46.500 of the radicals
00:13:48.320 and so
00:13:49.320 they may put out
00:13:50.700 statements
00:13:51.300 but
00:13:52.420 remember
00:13:53.720 this is the same
00:13:54.520 Chuck Schumer
00:13:55.100 that not long ago
00:13:56.060 stood on the Senate floor
00:13:57.120 and demanded
00:13:57.840 that Israel's elected
00:13:58.940 prime minister
00:13:59.660 be thrown out of office
00:14:01.160 he decided
00:14:01.880 that Israel
00:14:02.560 alone
00:14:03.160 among all our allies
00:14:04.180 was not allowed
00:14:04.860 to elect their leaders
00:14:05.820 every other country
00:14:07.020 you know
00:14:07.420 Schumer hasn't called
00:14:09.140 for the leader
00:14:09.660 of Iran
00:14:10.120 to step down
00:14:11.740 he hasn't called
00:14:12.320 for the leader
00:14:12.720 of Hamas
00:14:13.220 or China
00:14:13.660 or Russia
00:14:14.100 or Venezuela
00:14:14.580 or North Korea
00:14:15.280 if you're an enemy
00:14:16.260 of America
00:14:16.760 nope
00:14:17.080 Chuck Schumer
00:14:17.700 and the Democrats
00:14:18.380 they're giving you money
00:14:19.280 but if you're our ally
00:14:21.340 what will Schumer say
00:14:22.980 how dare you be in office
00:14:24.440 we need
00:14:25.480 an appeaser
00:14:27.080 just like us
00:14:28.220 you just mentioned
00:14:29.920 I was going to go there
00:14:31.000 that the Senate
00:14:31.800 majority leader
00:14:32.380 said he should step down
00:14:33.440 there's been a lot
00:14:34.580 of people in the media
00:14:35.220 that have been really
00:14:35.900 attacking him
00:14:36.680 saying that he is
00:14:37.460 a warmonger
00:14:38.340 that he's 1.00
00:14:38.840 that he's a killer
00:14:40.400 that he should not 0.98
00:14:41.420 be the president
00:14:42.100 he should not be in charge
00:14:43.300 I don't believe
00:14:45.080 we're going to see
00:14:45.640 any of that stop
00:14:46.700 but at least
00:14:48.480 in the Middle East
00:14:49.320 right now
00:14:49.940 and specifically
00:14:50.860 in Israel
00:14:51.560 how important
00:14:52.740 is his leadership
00:14:53.580 it's extraordinarily
00:14:55.880 important
00:14:56.480 I will say
00:14:57.520 I'm blessed
00:14:58.360 to know
00:14:58.700 Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:14:59.680 very well
00:15:00.340 I think he is
00:15:02.460 a remarkable man
00:15:03.520 when he came
00:15:05.980 and addressed
00:15:06.500 a joint session
00:15:07.440 of Congress
00:15:08.120 and this was
00:15:10.040 during the Obama
00:15:10.720 administration
00:15:11.240 it was on the verge
00:15:12.460 of Obama
00:15:13.260 pushing through
00:15:14.000 the Iran nuclear deal
00:15:15.220 at the time
00:15:16.680 and this was
00:15:17.140 a decade ago
00:15:18.000 multiple Democrats
00:15:20.480 boycotted the speech
00:15:21.440 they refused
00:15:22.220 to listen to him
00:15:23.180 speak
00:15:23.560 the Democrats
00:15:25.400 hatred for
00:15:26.560 Benjamin Netanyahu
00:15:27.400 is nothing new
00:15:28.240 and understand
00:15:31.280 that when he was
00:15:32.280 re-elected Prime Minister
00:15:33.660 Joe Biden made clear
00:15:35.660 he was not welcome
00:15:36.620 in the White House
00:15:37.240 that he would not be
00:15:37.860 invited in the White House
00:15:38.700 he could not come
00:15:39.320 to the White House
00:15:39.760 this is long before
00:15:40.880 October 7th
00:15:42.140 this is long before
00:15:42.860 the war in Gaza
00:15:43.720 they hate Netanyahu
00:15:45.720 but understand
00:15:46.400 they undermine
00:15:48.280 every Israeli government
00:15:49.780 they have done so
00:15:50.840 from the very first days
00:15:52.220 of this administration
00:15:53.180 but Netanyahu
00:15:54.880 they have a particular
00:15:56.000 loathing to
00:15:56.980 because he actually
00:15:58.920 understands the gravity
00:16:00.540 of the threat
00:16:01.180 he is facing
00:16:01.840 he understands
00:16:02.580 that when
00:16:03.540 the Ayatollah
00:16:04.800 says death to Israel
00:16:06.120 he's not playing around
00:16:07.860 he actually means it
00:16:08.960 when he says
00:16:09.380 death to America
00:16:10.260 he's not playing around 0.60
00:16:11.860 he actually means it
00:16:13.340 and
00:16:13.880 listen
00:16:15.660 I've been blessed
00:16:16.780 in 12 years
00:16:17.460 in the Senate
00:16:17.900 I've met
00:16:18.420 many world leaders
00:16:19.640 that's one of the most
00:16:20.660 incredible parts
00:16:21.640 of the job
00:16:22.140 is you get to sit down
00:16:23.180 with people
00:16:24.100 that are leading
00:16:24.860 leading our friends
00:16:26.140 leading other countries
00:16:27.100 leading our competitors
00:16:27.940 there is no world leader
00:16:30.180 who has impressed me more
00:16:32.080 there's no world leader
00:16:33.220 who frankly
00:16:34.220 has
00:16:34.420 taken my breath away
00:16:37.300 more than
00:16:37.880 Benjamin Netanyahu
00:16:38.880 because he has a
00:16:39.760 seriousness of purpose
00:16:41.300 he is the only world leader
00:16:43.060 for whom I have used
00:16:45.400 the adjective
00:16:46.060 Churchillian
00:16:46.960 in my office in DC
00:16:49.040 I have three busts
00:16:50.200 I have a bust
00:16:51.520 of Ronald Reagan
00:16:52.720 I have a bust
00:16:54.320 of Churchill
00:16:54.800 and I have a bust
00:16:56.440 of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
00:16:58.180 and I have those three busts
00:17:00.700 because they are all men
00:17:01.780 who had extraordinary vision
00:17:03.180 they faced
00:17:03.780 remarkable challenges
00:17:05.400 they saw a world
00:17:06.640 that was better
00:17:07.400 than the world
00:17:07.940 they were living in
00:17:08.760 and their vision
00:17:09.440 helped bring the world
00:17:11.140 to a better place
00:17:12.400 with extraordinary
00:17:14.160 courage
00:17:14.980 and clarity
00:17:15.840 and I have to tell you
00:17:18.160 I think Netanyahu 0.62
00:17:19.160 has that same courage
00:17:20.700 and clarity
00:17:21.440 now
00:17:22.560 it is not my role
00:17:24.800 to tell the people
00:17:26.600 of Israel
00:17:27.140 who their prime minister
00:17:28.480 should be
00:17:29.020 so when Netanyahu
00:17:30.740 was prime minister
00:17:31.600 when I started
00:17:33.560 in the senate
00:17:34.040 I dealt with him
00:17:34.920 because he was the leader
00:17:35.920 the elected leader
00:17:37.860 of Israel
00:17:38.340 when the people of Israel
00:17:39.540 elected Naftali Bennett
00:17:41.500 I dealt with him
00:17:42.840 whomever the people
00:17:43.880 of Israel elect
00:17:44.700 I will deal with
00:17:45.880 the elected leader
00:17:46.920 but the people of Israel
00:17:48.320 re-elected
00:17:49.320 Benjamin Netanyahu
00:17:50.760 and I respect
00:17:51.560 the choice
00:17:52.300 of the people of Israel
00:17:53.200 there is an arrogance
00:17:54.480 in democrat foreign policy
00:17:57.680 but also in some
00:17:59.140 republican foreign policy
00:18:00.420 that they think
00:18:01.700 they can meddle
00:18:02.400 in the internal politics
00:18:03.560 of foreign nations
00:18:04.460 and especially
00:18:05.040 our friends and allies
00:18:06.000 that they can do
00:18:06.880 what Chuck Schumer did
00:18:08.340 which is tell the people
00:18:09.340 of Israel
00:18:10.000 tsk tsk
00:18:11.520 you have no business
00:18:13.140 electing Netanyahu
00:18:14.100 throw him out now
00:18:15.180 and they treat him
00:18:17.100 like the voters
00:18:18.860 the people of Israel
00:18:19.700 like the red-haired
00:18:20.420 stepchildren 0.99
00:18:21.060 it is ridiculous 0.93
00:18:22.740 I you know 0.96
00:18:23.600 it's much like
00:18:25.500 look there have been
00:18:26.700 long debates
00:18:27.440 in Washington
00:18:28.420 about a two-state solution
00:18:30.200 and then there
00:18:30.880 every democrat says
00:18:32.420 we must have
00:18:33.040 a two-state solution
00:18:34.020 many republicans
00:18:35.960 say we must have
00:18:36.720 a two-state solution
00:18:37.600 my view on that
00:18:38.620 is that's a decision
00:18:41.020 for the people
00:18:41.660 of Israel to make 0.87
00:18:42.500 they care acutely
00:18:44.300 about their security
00:18:45.240 if the people of Israel
00:18:46.120 decide that a two-state
00:18:48.320 solution is workable
00:18:49.520 I respect that decision
00:18:51.360 if they decide it's not
00:18:52.680 because the terrorists
00:18:55.100 with whom they're dealing
00:18:57.020 the Hamas and Hezbollah
00:18:58.220 will not accept Israel's 1.00
00:19:00.160 right to exist
00:19:00.920 and will wage war on them
00:19:02.000 I respect that decision
00:19:03.020 as well
00:19:03.500 and and and so
00:19:04.760 I will say
00:19:05.980 when it comes to
00:19:06.780 Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:19:07.800 it's the choice
00:19:08.580 of the people of Israel
00:19:09.580 that he should be
00:19:10.740 their leader
00:19:11.180 I respect their choice
00:19:12.460 but at the same time
00:19:14.060 I think he is a leader
00:19:15.020 who understands
00:19:15.980 the seriousness
00:19:16.640 of these threats
00:19:17.700 and is not cowed
00:19:20.140 by the aggression
00:19:21.840 of Hamas
00:19:22.580 or Hezbollah
00:19:23.280 or Iran
00:19:23.980 or anyone else
00:19:25.200 he is bound
00:19:26.560 and determined
00:19:27.120 to protect
00:19:27.700 the people of Israel
00:19:28.580 as before
00:19:29.940 if you want to hear

00:20:07.520 I want to get back
00:20:10.380 to the big story
00:20:11.540 number three of the week
00:20:12.520 you may have missed
00:20:13.260 finally Senator
00:20:15.020 what exactly
00:20:16.220 did Democrats
00:20:17.320 do yesterday
00:20:18.780 on impeachment
00:20:19.760 just so people
00:20:20.800 understand
00:20:21.440 how they pulled
00:20:22.440 this off
00:20:22.980 well at 1 p.m.
00:20:24.980 yesterday
00:20:25.360 we convened
00:20:26.900 on the Senate floor
00:20:27.640 this is pursuant
00:20:28.380 to the Senate rules
00:20:29.220 when we enter impeachment
00:20:30.260 we were all sworn in
00:20:31.320 and then we all
00:20:33.580 signed the oath book
00:20:34.680 one at a time
00:20:36.040 we signed the oath book
00:20:37.100 and what is supposed
00:20:39.660 to happen next
00:20:40.620 is that we adopt
00:20:41.660 a resolution
00:20:42.360 laying out a trial schedule
00:20:43.740 of how the house managers
00:20:44.960 are going to present
00:20:46.660 their case
00:20:48.880 but instead
00:20:49.700 what happened
00:20:50.580 is Chuck Schumer
00:20:52.260 rose on a
00:20:53.540 constitutional point
00:20:54.780 of order
00:20:55.160 and a constitutional
00:20:57.080 point of order
00:20:57.760 is you stand
00:20:58.500 and say
00:20:59.100 what is on the floor
00:21:02.620 violates the constitution
00:21:03.860 and he raised
00:21:04.500 a constitutional point
00:21:05.400 of order
00:21:05.720 and he said
00:21:06.240 article 1
00:21:07.100 the first article
00:21:08.080 sent over
00:21:09.160 by the house
00:21:09.940 does not
00:21:11.920 allege
00:21:12.620 a high crime
00:21:13.440 or misdemeanor
00:21:14.180 and so
00:21:15.940 what happened next
00:21:17.020 is we voted
00:21:18.000 on whether
00:21:19.640 article 1
00:21:20.640 alleged a high crime
00:21:21.560 or misdemeanor
00:21:22.020 high crime
00:21:22.420 or misdemeanor
00:21:22.860 is what you need
00:21:23.580 to be able
00:21:23.980 to impeach someone
00:21:24.800 now article 1
00:21:26.500 focused on
00:21:28.420 Alejandro Mayorkas
00:21:29.780 defiance
00:21:30.980 of federal law
00:21:32.100 that he was
00:21:34.300 refusing
00:21:35.060 to follow
00:21:36.060 explicit
00:21:36.860 and clear
00:21:37.560 federal law
00:21:38.360 federal law
00:21:39.740 that
00:21:40.000 says
00:21:42.620 that
00:21:42.900 illegal immigrants
00:21:44.540 shall be detained 0.92
00:21:45.740 that illegal immigrants 1.00
00:21:47.100 with criminal convictions
00:21:48.040 shall be detained
00:21:49.000 and shall be deported
00:21:50.200 over and over again
00:21:51.500 immigration law
00:21:52.300 is mandatory
00:21:53.080 it says
00:21:53.460 shall
00:21:53.840 shall
00:21:54.180 shall
00:21:54.540 shall
00:21:54.920 and he's
00:21:55.740 defying it
00:21:56.580 at a level
00:21:56.960 it's never
00:21:57.380 happened before
00:21:58.340 it's not that
00:21:59.960 he's bad
00:22:00.780 at his job
00:22:01.480 it's that
00:22:02.640 he is utterly
00:22:03.720 flouting
00:22:05.560 and defying
00:22:06.380 federal law
00:22:07.040 and that
00:22:07.300 that's the first
00:22:08.060 article
00:22:08.540 of impeachment
00:22:10.020 and they argued
00:22:11.060 actually they didn't argue
00:22:12.180 they just made a motion
00:22:13.240 that it's not a high crime
00:22:14.660 or misdemeanor
00:22:15.100 they presented
00:22:15.560 no argument
00:22:16.180 they
00:22:17.780 they did not
00:22:18.680 give a legal argument
00:22:20.080 they did not write a brief
00:22:21.020 they did not present
00:22:21.780 an argument
00:22:22.320 and
00:22:23.580 and I was the person
00:22:24.640 who
00:22:24.960 who raised
00:22:26.020 the lead
00:22:26.520 objection to that
00:22:28.020 now under the impeachment
00:22:30.080 rules
00:22:30.660 you can't debate
00:22:32.900 on the senate floor
00:22:33.820 you're supposed to be
00:22:35.340 silent because
00:22:36.180 you're jurors
00:22:37.040 I was going to say
00:22:37.680 why is that
00:22:38.280 but that makes sense
00:22:39.080 because you're a juror
00:22:40.060 not not not
00:22:41.000 a lawyer I guess
00:22:42.120 presenting right
00:22:42.860 right right
00:22:43.440 and so
00:22:44.800 I made a motion
00:22:46.640 for us to move
00:22:48.560 into executive session
00:22:50.060 if we move into
00:22:50.760 executive session
00:22:51.640 we throw the reporters out
00:22:52.840 we turn the tv cameras off
00:22:54.520 but then we can debate it
00:22:55.820 and I said look
00:22:56.400 you're you're making
00:22:57.780 a major legal point
00:22:59.240 you presented
00:22:59.820 no argument
00:23:00.560 and what you're saying
00:23:02.820 is quality
00:23:03.340 is is fundamentally wrong
00:23:05.360 and and I'll tell you
00:23:06.420 the amazing thing is
00:23:07.660 the idea
00:23:10.100 that refusing
00:23:11.260 to follow the law
00:23:12.880 defying the law
00:23:14.100 is not a high crime
00:23:15.120 and misdemeanor
00:23:15.600 is not impeachable
00:23:16.540 it is contrary
00:23:18.420 to the original
00:23:20.400 understanding
00:23:21.260 of the constitution
00:23:21.920 Joseph Story
00:23:22.820 who was a supreme court
00:23:24.300 justice
00:23:24.700 one of the leading
00:23:25.700 constitutional scholars
00:23:26.900 right at the very
00:23:27.880 beginning of our country
00:23:28.780 and his commentaries
00:23:29.980 on the constitution
00:23:30.660 are widely cited
00:23:32.500 for for
00:23:33.260 uh understanding
00:23:35.040 what the founding
00:23:35.900 generation believed
00:23:37.120 the constitution to mean
00:23:38.260 and he talked about
00:23:39.320 he wrote at length
00:23:40.400 about high crimes
00:23:41.080 and misdemeanors
00:23:41.720 and he gave lots
00:23:42.500 of examples
00:23:43.160 including uh
00:23:44.960 the the lord admiral
00:23:46.720 refusing to protect
00:23:48.280 the high seas
00:23:49.040 and he said that
00:23:49.960 is a high crime
00:23:50.960 misdemeanor
00:23:51.560 and and that is
00:23:52.920 that that is
00:23:53.680 virtually analogous
00:23:55.820 very closely analogous
00:23:57.220 to the head
00:23:58.720 of homeland security
00:23:59.540 refusing to secure
00:24:00.540 the border
00:24:00.920 it's the same principle
00:24:02.040 uh of allowing
00:24:03.780 lawless piracy
00:24:04.980 to to to threaten
00:24:06.260 and invade america
00:24:07.260 so joseph story
00:24:09.140 and the founding
00:24:09.740 generation
00:24:10.420 understood this
00:24:11.520 to be a high crime
00:24:12.180 and misdemeanor
00:24:12.820 and amazingly enough
00:24:14.280 ben
00:24:14.540 the biden
00:24:16.540 justice department
00:24:17.660 argued in front
00:24:19.020 of the u.s supreme court
00:24:20.300 that impeachment
00:24:22.480 was the remedy
00:24:23.560 for the biden
00:24:25.320 administration
00:24:26.060 refusing to follow
00:24:27.200 the law
00:24:27.640 so in texas
00:24:28.800 versus the united states
00:24:29.900 texas sued the biden
00:24:31.080 administration
00:24:32.020 for refusing to
00:24:33.280 secure the border
00:24:33.920 and the supreme court
00:24:35.540 ended up agreeing
00:24:36.460 with the biden
00:24:37.160 administration
00:24:37.640 and saying well
00:24:38.440 texas can't sue 0.76
00:24:39.740 and and the biden
00:24:42.100 doj the the solicitor
00:24:43.660 general for biden
00:24:44.480 argued look
00:24:45.280 if you have
00:24:47.160 a cabinet member
00:24:48.700 who's refusing
00:24:49.580 to follow the law
00:24:50.600 congress has remedies
00:24:52.800 including impeachment
00:24:53.980 and so i stood up
00:24:55.840 and said listen
00:24:56.340 the biden department
00:24:57.700 of justice
00:24:58.220 argued last year
00:24:59.420 this was impeachable
00:25:01.060 it didn't matter
00:25:02.260 every single democrat
00:25:04.720 all of them
00:25:05.260 and by the way
00:25:05.840 even the so-called
00:25:06.860 moderates
00:25:07.340 joe manchin
00:25:07.840 and kirsten cinema
00:25:08.460 they voted also
00:25:09.840 nope
00:25:10.160 not a high crime
00:25:11.440 or misdemeanor
00:25:12.080 and as a result
00:25:13.580 because they had
00:25:16.260 to have a majority
00:25:17.180 the point of order
00:25:18.760 carried
00:25:19.260 they got 51 votes
00:25:20.460 for it
00:25:20.900 and so the first article
00:25:22.180 was thrown out
00:25:22.860 and then they did it again
00:25:23.820 on the second one
00:25:24.680 and i'll tell you
00:25:26.160 the second one
00:25:26.840 is even more astonishing
00:25:27.820 so as a result
00:25:29.780 of the first vote
00:25:30.660 it is now the position
00:25:32.360 of democrats
00:25:33.000 that any cabinet member
00:25:34.040 can refuse to follow
00:25:35.380 the law
00:25:35.800 can defy the law
00:25:36.800 can utterly ignore
00:25:37.660 the law
00:25:38.160 and you can't impeach
00:25:39.280 them for it
00:25:39.760 i mean that's an astonishing
00:25:41.480 and dangerous proposition
00:25:43.080 in democrat loony land
00:25:45.380 but the second article
00:25:47.580 of impeachment
00:25:48.420 was for breach of trust
00:25:51.820 and it focused on
00:25:52.900 mayorkas repeatedly 0.93
00:25:54.340 lying to congress
00:25:56.020 under oath
00:25:56.640 about what was happening
00:25:57.540 at the border
00:25:58.060 and again
00:25:59.160 chuck schumer
00:26:00.000 rose on a point of order
00:26:01.080 and said
00:26:01.620 this is not a high crime
00:26:03.260 or misdemeanor
00:26:03.920 now mind you
00:26:05.000 they're saying
00:26:06.640 lying under oath
00:26:07.500 to congress
00:26:08.040 is not impeachable
00:26:09.000 it is a felony
00:26:09.940 it is a felony
00:26:11.440 that you can serve
00:26:12.240 jail time for
00:26:13.460 and it's worth remembering
00:26:15.400 bill clinton
00:26:16.880 was impeached
00:26:18.640 for perjury
00:26:19.420 the house impeached him
00:26:21.060 and what did the senate do
00:26:22.100 they didn't throw it out
00:26:23.100 they didn't dismiss it
00:26:24.180 the house managers
00:26:25.540 presented the case
00:26:26.460 they conducted a trial
00:26:27.780 and ultimately
00:26:28.420 the senate acquitted him
00:26:29.520 but they did their duty
00:26:31.720 to hold a trial
00:26:32.520 and actually before that
00:26:33.680 there's someone
00:26:36.060 I'm sure you've never heard of
00:26:37.420 a guy named Walter Nixon
00:26:38.480 you know who Walter Nixon was
00:26:39.680 who was that
00:26:41.140 Walter Nixon
00:26:42.520 was a federal judge
00:26:44.060 he was a federal judge
00:26:44.840 actually from Mississippi
00:26:45.820 you're an Ole Miss grad
00:26:47.760 he was a federal judge
00:26:48.640 from Mississippi
00:26:49.100 but he was not a good guy
00:26:50.300 and he was convicted
00:26:52.520 of perjury
00:26:53.640 before a grand jury
00:26:55.320 and you know what happened
00:26:57.260 the congress impeached him
00:26:58.880 the house impeached him
00:26:59.920 the senate convicted him
00:27:02.300 and he was removed
00:27:03.660 as a federal judge
00:27:04.980 for perjury
00:27:05.860 so even though
00:27:07.920 it was clear
00:27:08.780 there was clear precedent
00:27:09.960 that yes
00:27:10.640 perjury
00:27:11.180 lying under oath
00:27:12.180 is a high crime
00:27:13.740 or misdemeanor
00:27:14.300 it is impeachable
00:27:15.300 every single senate democrat
00:27:19.160 voted
00:27:21.160 that it's not
00:27:22.980 a high crime
00:27:23.640 or misdemeanor
00:27:24.260 so now apparently
00:27:25.420 again in democrat wonderland
00:27:27.800 lying to congress
00:27:28.780 is a-okay
00:27:29.540 and understand
00:27:30.620 this was not about
00:27:32.120 the constitution
00:27:34.540 they didn't care
00:27:35.560 they had no arguments
00:27:37.360 as to why the constitution
00:27:38.440 said this
00:27:39.040 this was about power
00:27:41.200 and this was about
00:27:42.080 protecting
00:27:43.040 their political backsides
00:27:45.320 because they're terrified
00:27:46.500 of the american people
00:27:48.560 hearing what is happening
00:27:50.540 at the border
00:27:51.100 the fentanyl
00:27:51.820 the deaths
00:27:52.380 the rapes 0.66
00:27:53.060 the children being abused 0.84
00:27:54.540 they do not want that evidence
00:27:55.980 before the american people 0.52
00:27:57.120 and i'll say this
00:27:58.140 as a final point
00:27:58.900 to wrap up
00:27:59.520 do you want to see proof
00:28:01.560 of why this is all political
00:28:04.040 and why the democrats
00:28:04.900 did what they did
00:28:05.600 yes
00:28:06.880 you know what
00:28:07.280 you know what
00:28:07.800 you know what ms
00:28:08.680 you know what msnbc
00:28:10.380 and cnn covered
00:28:11.320 all day yesterday
00:28:12.300 trump
00:28:13.760 24-7
00:28:15.180 the trump trial
00:28:16.380 stormy daniels
00:28:17.560 ooh smut 0.98
00:28:18.460 lying 0.97
00:28:19.040 like apparently
00:28:21.160 there was no
00:28:22.620 impeachment proceeding
00:28:23.520 in the senate
00:28:24.000 nothing happened
00:28:24.960 there's no border crisis
00:28:26.580 the only thing
00:28:28.120 they would cover
00:28:28.900 is is the attack
