Verdict with Ted Cruz - Olympics Mocks Christians, Harris Snubs Israel, Hezbollah Murders a Dozen Children & Suspected Palestinian Terrorists Cross the Border Illegally

00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.

00:00:02.660 Guaranteed human.

00:00:05.360 Welcome. It is The Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.

00:00:09.260 Senator, we've got a lot of major news to talk about tonight,

00:00:11.640 but I've got to first ask you about the Olympic opening ceremonies.

00:00:16.500 Were you as shocked as I was?

00:00:18.300 I thought it was absolutely disgusting.

00:00:20.500 We saw on the global stage the organizers of the Olympics 0.91

00:00:24.400 mocking Christians, mocking the Last Supper, mocking Jesus.

00:00:28.340 It was absolutely disgraceful. 0.92

00:00:29.560 We're going to get into that.

00:00:30.400 We're also going to get into the tragic consequences

00:00:34.620 of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris' turning their backs on Israel,

00:00:38.360 and we saw it with 12 children murdered by Hezbollah

00:00:42.480 in the past couple of days.

00:00:44.460 As the enemies of Israel and the enemies of America are emboldened,

00:00:48.060 we also saw at the same time three Palestinian terror suspects

00:00:52.100 caught crossing the border illegally.

00:00:54.640 The enemies of America are on the march

00:00:56.520 because weakness in the White House, weakness from Kamala Harris,

00:00:59.760 weakness from Joe Biden, it has real consequences,

00:01:02.580 and it's endangering not just America, it's endangering our allies.

00:01:06.480 Yeah, it really is.

00:01:07.320 I want to tell you also real quick about our friends over at Patriot Mobile,

00:01:10.520 and you've seen how woke companies are getting,

00:01:14.080 what they're supporting,

00:01:15.160 and right now in this very important presidential election year.

00:01:19.900 You need to know where your money's going when you spend it.

00:01:22.320 Well, Big Mobile is spending big money right now

00:01:25.040 supporting hardcore liberal causes

00:01:27.780 and candidates at the local, state, and national level.

00:01:31.540 When I say hardcore liberal causes,

00:01:33.780 I'm talking about big money going also to Planned Parenthood.

00:01:38.040 Well, more than 10 years ago,

00:01:39.960 my friends at Patriot Mobile,

00:01:41.480 they found out where Big Mobile is putting their money.

00:01:43.920 When you pay your bill every month,

00:01:45.540 and they said,

00:01:46.000 enough, we've got to figure out an alternative.

00:01:48.320 They worked their tails off,

00:01:49.820 and they did it.

00:01:50.600 Now, in 2024,

00:01:52.320 the cell phone world has changed.

00:01:54.420 You are using the same towers right now,

00:01:57.220 basically on everybody's surface.

00:01:59.200 So, switching right now to Patriot Mobile

00:02:02.240 is easier than it's ever been,

00:02:03.620 and you don't even have to go to a store.

00:02:05.360 You can do it over the phone.

00:02:07.140 You can keep your same cell phone number you have right now,

00:02:09.400 or switch to a new number if you want to.

00:02:11.860 Keep the same cell phone you've got,

00:02:13.460 or get a new cell phone.

00:02:15.140 It is really just that easy with Patriot Mobile.

00:02:18.360 But the best part is,

00:02:19.420 every month when you pay your bill,

00:02:20.800 about 5% of that bill goes back

00:02:22.540 to support conservative causes.

00:02:24.740 That's right.

00:02:25.700 Support hardcore conservative causes

00:02:27.520 that stand up for the values we believe in.

00:02:29.920 Our First and Our Second Amendment rights,

00:02:32.020 rights of unborn children,

00:02:34.160 and they stand with our veterans,

00:02:36.300 our wounded warriors,

00:02:37.260 and our first responders.

00:02:38.760 So, make a difference with your cell phone

00:02:40.820 every month when you pay that bill,

00:02:43.280 and know that you're standing with a company

00:02:44.680 that stands with what you believe in.

00:02:46.760 Check them out.

00:03:00.360 Senator, I look forward to the Olympics,

00:03:03.140 and this was the first Olympics

00:03:05.380 where my boys, I felt like,

00:03:07.300 were really old enough

00:03:08.140 to get really excited about USA.

00:03:11.080 And the Olympics being seven,

00:03:13.660 and the twins being five.

00:03:15.700 And the opening ceremonies

00:03:16.900 have always been amazing,

00:03:18.060 whether it's the guy shooting the arrow on fire

00:03:20.760 into that cauldron that caught on fire,

00:03:22.920 or Muhammad Ali in Atlanta.

00:03:25.720 There's amazing, cool aspect

00:03:28.680 of the opening ceremonies.

00:03:30.700 And we watched it,

00:03:32.140 and we had to turn it off

00:03:33.560 because it was so vile and grotesque

00:03:36.900 and in your face 0.95

00:03:38.240 for the world to see mocking Christianity, 0.94

00:03:42.320 mocking people of faith and religion,

00:03:44.300 but also just the sexualization

00:03:46.680 of what we watched and witnessed

00:03:48.380 in the very first moments

00:03:49.620 for billions to see around the world.

00:03:52.340 Yeah, look, it was nothing short of disgusting.

00:03:54.580 And during Friday's ceremony,

00:03:56.800 there's a moment on the DeBilly Bridge

00:03:58.960 over the Seine

00:03:59.820 where there's a French DJ and producer

00:04:03.120 named Barbara Butch 0.94

00:04:04.200 who is described as a, quote,

00:04:06.500 love activist.

00:04:08.320 And Butch was wearing a blue dress

00:04:10.560 with a silver headdress.

00:04:12.680 And as the camera panned out,

00:04:14.660 Butch is flanked by drag queens on both sides. 1.00

00:04:18.120 And it was an obvious recreation

00:04:21.140 of the Last Supper,

00:04:22.420 except Butch was playing the role of Jesus

00:04:24.820 and the drag queens were the apostles. 0.94

00:04:27.380 And then in front of Butch,

00:04:29.800 a almost naked man painted in blue rises up,

00:04:34.220 which is meant to be Dionysus,

00:04:36.360 the Greek god of winemaking and vegetation

00:04:38.920 and fertility and ecstasy

00:04:41.020 on a dinner plate surrounded by food.

00:04:42.700 And he sings as the people around him dances.

00:04:46.740 And the scene was really designed,

00:04:51.980 I believe, to show contempt

00:04:54.040 for Jesus, for Christianity,

00:04:58.180 for people of faith.

00:05:00.800 And look, you and I weren't the only people

00:05:03.200 who reacted to that.

00:05:04.220 The French Bishops' Conference,

00:05:06.240 which represents the Catholic bishops in France,

00:05:09.380 said in a statement that the scene was,

00:05:12.040 quote,

00:05:12.480 a mockery and derision of Christianity.

00:05:16.080 And that people of faith were,

00:05:19.160 quote,

00:05:19.600 hurt by the outrageousness

00:05:22.200 and provocation of certain scenes.

00:05:25.120 Another bishop,

00:05:26.220 Bishop Robert Barron in Minnesota,

00:05:27.860 said in a video that it mocked,

00:05:29.580 quote,

00:05:30.320 a very central moment in Christianity.

00:05:33.700 And listen,

00:05:34.600 you want to know how bad it is?

00:05:35.640 Let me read you the headline

00:05:37.300 of USA Today this weekend.

00:05:40.120 Quote,

00:05:40.540 Paris organizers apologize

00:05:42.380 after critics say

00:05:44.160 Last Supper was mocked.

00:05:45.860 You've done something wrong

00:05:47.080 if you're organizing the Olympics

00:05:48.580 and the first thing you've got to do

00:05:50.000 is apologize to the world

00:05:51.960 because you've been so disrespectful

00:05:54.220 and mocking.

00:05:55.000 And to be clear,

00:05:55.860 this is supposed to be about sports.

00:05:57.880 This is supposed to be about a celebration

00:05:59.540 of amateur athletes

00:06:01.500 competing on behalf of their nations.

00:06:03.280 And instead,

00:06:05.240 this was a moment

00:06:06.740 where the radical left,

00:06:09.120 transgender,

00:06:10.540 LGBT, 0.97

00:06:12.740 religion-hating, 0.95

00:06:15.680 despising organizers, 0.90

00:06:17.480 and the guy who was the artistic director

00:06:20.640 of the opening,

00:06:22.460 it's a guy named Thomas Jolly,

00:06:24.540 and he claimed,

00:06:26.000 here was his claim,

00:06:27.620 he said it was not meant to,

00:06:29.480 quote,

00:06:29.680 be subversive

00:06:30.700 or shock people

00:06:31.980 or mock people.

00:06:34.160 Instead,

00:06:36.620 Dionysus,

00:06:38.100 quote,

00:06:38.660 makes us aware

00:06:39.600 of the absurdity

00:06:40.740 of violence

00:06:41.960 between human beings.

00:06:44.280 And here's what Jolly explained,

00:06:46.260 quote,

00:06:47.300 the idea was to have

00:06:48.440 a pagan celebration

00:06:49.520 connected to the gods of Olympics,

00:06:51.680 Olympus rather.

00:06:52.860 You will never find in me

00:06:54.120 a desire to mock

00:06:55.480 and denigrate anyone,

00:06:58.340 which is why the organizers

00:06:59.740 of the Olympics

00:07:00.220 are having to apologize

00:07:01.320 for just how disgusting it was.

00:07:04.060 You look at even the apology,

00:07:06.460 and one of them,

00:07:07.380 one of the papers,

00:07:09.320 I think it was the New York Post,

00:07:10.400 put it this way.

00:07:11.520 It said,

00:07:12.340 the quote coming from the organizers

00:07:13.960 was, quote,

00:07:14.920 looking at the results of the polls

00:07:16.920 that we shared,

00:07:17.960 we believe

00:07:18.580 that this ambition was achieved.

00:07:21.460 If people have taken any offense,

00:07:23.100 we are, of course,

00:07:24.180 really, really sorry.

00:07:25.860 Now,

00:07:26.420 the idea that it's on you,

00:07:28.880 like, oh,

00:07:29.440 we're sorry if you're offended,

00:07:31.120 but we didn't offend you.

00:07:32.800 And the only reason

00:07:33.460 why they came out

00:07:34.180 and apologized

00:07:34.820 is because worldwide,

00:07:36.560 we're now hearing,

00:07:37.600 advertisers pulled their advertising

00:07:39.940 from the Olympics

00:07:40.640 because they were so offended

00:07:42.860 by what we saw

00:07:44.340 in the open ceremonies.

00:07:44.560 You have to screw up

00:07:45.580 to get advertisers

00:07:46.440 to pull their advertising

00:07:47.980 from the Olympics

00:07:49.280 where you've got billions

00:07:50.260 of people watching

00:07:51.160 across the globe.

00:07:52.480 And here's what

00:07:53.240 the Olympic spokesperson said,

00:07:54.660 quote,

00:07:55.560 clearly there was never

00:07:56.360 an intention

00:07:56.820 to show disrespect

00:07:57.620 to any religious group.

00:07:59.320 On the contrary,

00:08:00.140 I think with Thomas Jolly,

00:08:01.320 we really were trying

00:08:02.280 to celebrate

00:08:02.940 community tolerance

00:08:04.220 because, you know,

00:08:05.320 it really is community tolerance

00:08:07.340 to depict Jesus Christ 0.96

00:08:10.180 as a transgender drag queen. 0.94

00:08:11.960 I mean, 0.58

00:08:12.100 that's who they are

00:08:15.720 and it is the contempt

00:08:17.060 of the radical left,

00:08:19.560 I think,

00:08:20.060 really shown on a global stage.

00:08:22.040 This is another one

00:08:22.920 of those examples,

00:08:23.660 and you and I

00:08:23.960 have talked about this a lot,

00:08:25.020 and it's constant now. 0.97

00:08:27.040 Don't believe your lying eyes,

00:08:28.660 whether it's with Joe Biden 0.84

00:08:30.320 and clearly the cognitive decline,

00:08:32.960 whether it's Kamala Harris

00:08:34.380 and them trying to rebrand her 0.99

00:08:35.700 as some sort of like moderate

00:08:37.000 instead of a radical liberal extremist.

00:08:40.060 And now they're like,

00:08:41.000 oh, no, no, this wasn't the last. 0.98

00:08:42.240 Oh, don't believe your lying eyes. 0.93

00:08:43.480 Oh, we're not, 0.91

00:08:43.980 we're not trying to indoctrinate

00:08:45.320 your kids and LBGTQ agenda items.

00:08:48.260 We're just trying to celebrate

00:08:49.600 the Olympics.

00:08:50.520 And yet they continue to,

00:08:53.540 in essence,

00:08:54.020 get away with it

00:08:54.800 because no one's

00:08:55.960 going to get fired.

00:08:57.220 It's not like they're not

00:08:58.200 going to try to do this

00:08:59.120 again in the future.

00:09:00.180 And then there's this

00:09:01.100 like halfway apology

00:09:02.540 only because it's a monetary issue

00:09:04.360 at the moment.

00:09:05.420 Ben, let me ask you something.

00:09:06.860 What would have happened

00:09:07.900 if the scene had been identical

00:09:09.340 except instead of mocking Jesus,

00:09:12.700 they had mocked Muhammad.

00:09:14.380 They'd done the same thing,

00:09:15.540 but they depicted Muhammad

00:09:16.680 and his followers 0.95

00:09:18.200 as transgender drag queens. 0.99

00:09:20.940 Yeah, it would have been anarchy. 0.97

00:09:22.060 It would have been massive apologies,

00:09:24.760 multiple people being fired.

00:09:26.740 It would have been more than that.

00:09:27.920 I think if they had done that,

00:09:29.800 there would be acts of violence

00:09:31.620 and people being murdered.

00:09:33.540 Fair point.

00:09:34.540 And listen,

00:09:35.660 that's a fair point.

00:09:36.340 I can't disagree with that.

00:09:37.820 Christians are not going to engage 1.00

00:09:38.860 in murder because of this,

00:09:40.220 but it does tell you

00:09:41.820 that they have contempt for you.

00:09:44.000 When you see this

00:09:45.440 and you realize

00:09:46.380 just how far we've fallen,

00:09:48.700 I think,

00:09:49.220 as a world,

00:09:50.940 I look at it

00:09:51.860 and I'm like,

00:09:52.500 I can't believe

00:09:53.120 I live in a time

00:09:54.380 in this country

00:09:56.100 and in the world

00:09:56.860 where I can't even sit my kids

00:09:58.560 in front of the opening ceremonies

00:10:00.100 to the Olympics anymore

00:10:01.240 and think that's a safe space

00:10:03.320 for them to just watch.

00:10:04.960 Well, and understand

00:10:05.660 that that means

00:10:06.620 there was no one involved

00:10:08.060 in the organization

00:10:09.000 who stopped and said,

00:10:11.320 wait,

00:10:11.680 do we really want to mock

00:10:13.280 billions of people

00:10:14.160 across the globe?

00:10:15.740 Is that what the Olympics is about?

00:10:18.000 There was no one

00:10:18.860 with any sense of decency

00:10:20.100 or decorum.

00:10:22.000 And, you know,

00:10:22.760 look,

00:10:23.100 I think it really is

00:10:24.140 a sad statement

00:10:25.680 of where the global elites

00:10:29.360 and the radical left

00:10:30.120 are right now.

00:10:31.380 Canadian women

00:10:32.220 are looking for more,

00:10:33.560 more out of themselves,

00:10:34.620 their businesses,

00:10:35.560 their elected leaders

00:10:36.320 and the world around them.

00:10:37.740 And that's why we're thrilled

00:10:38.680 to introduce

00:10:39.340 the Honest Talk podcast.

00:11:03.320 to the other news.

00:11:04.480 And this last week,

00:11:05.500 we really saw

00:11:07.740 a very clear signal

00:11:09.620 to Israel

00:11:10.320 from the U.S. government

00:11:12.120 that you guys

00:11:14.560 are not in good standing

00:11:16.100 with us.

00:11:16.700 We saw Nancy Pelosi

00:11:18.300 go after

00:11:20.220 the BB

00:11:21.700 after he gave

00:11:22.800 his address

00:11:23.500 to Congress.

00:11:24.500 You were obviously

00:11:25.380 there saying it was

00:11:26.320 one of the worst speeches

00:11:27.220 you'd ever seen

00:11:27.860 by a foreign head

00:11:29.660 of state

00:11:30.080 that had been asked

00:11:30.920 to come to Congress.

00:11:32.260 And it was basically

00:11:33.440 beyond belief

00:11:34.160 how bad it was

00:11:35.160 and what he had to say.

00:11:36.820 You then even saw

00:11:38.220 Chuck Schumer

00:11:39.160 who was called out

00:11:40.780 on Face the Nation

00:11:41.680 for not shaking

00:11:43.220 the hand of Bibi,

00:11:44.580 but he was one of the people

00:11:45.560 that invited him.

00:11:46.480 Listen.

00:11:47.380 Israeli Prime Minister

00:11:48.360 Benjamin Netanyahu,

00:11:49.320 Justin Washington,

00:11:51.060 you were part

00:11:52.080 of the formal

00:11:52.620 bipartisan invitation

00:11:53.980 to have him

00:11:54.800 come to Washington,

00:11:56.080 yet there was video

00:11:57.180 of you not shaking

00:11:58.160 his hand

00:11:58.640 when he was on the floor

00:11:59.640 on Capitol Hill.

00:12:01.620 Why not?

00:12:02.720 Why did you not

00:12:03.300 shake his hand?

00:12:04.760 Well, look,

00:12:05.680 you know,

00:12:06.300 I went to this speech

00:12:07.680 because the relationship

00:12:09.760 between Israel

00:12:11.040 and America

00:12:13.540 is ironclad,

00:12:14.980 and I wanted

00:12:16.040 to show that.

00:12:17.120 But at the same time,

00:12:18.080 as everyone knows,

00:12:18.880 I have serious

00:12:19.740 disagreements

00:12:20.540 with the way

00:12:21.440 Benjamin Netanyahu

00:12:22.960 has conducted

00:12:23.680 these policies.

00:12:26.460 Your colleague

00:12:27.740 and friend,

00:12:28.660 former Speaker

00:12:29.180 Nancy Pelosi,

00:12:30.140 tweeted this this week.

00:12:31.160 She said,

00:12:32.060 Benjamin Netanyahu's

00:12:32.940 presentation

00:12:33.520 in the House chamber

00:12:34.680 was by far

00:12:35.240 the worst presentation

00:12:36.360 of any foreign

00:12:37.140 dignitary invited

00:12:38.060 and honored

00:12:38.520 with that privilege

00:12:39.780 in American history.

00:12:41.480 Do you agree

00:12:42.120 with her assessment,

00:12:43.520 and do you have

00:12:44.400 any regrets at all

00:12:45.380 about the invitation?

00:12:46.320 Look, no,

00:12:49.180 as I've said,

00:12:50.100 I wanted to show

00:12:50.940 our ironclad commitment

00:12:52.240 to Israel

00:12:52.860 that transcends

00:12:53.660 any one prime minister

00:12:54.820 or any one president,

00:12:56.380 no matter how much

00:12:57.820 you might disagree

00:12:58.440 with that prime minister.

00:12:59.520 You hear that,

00:13:01.080 and it's like,

00:13:02.340 are you kidding me?

00:13:03.760 You won't even

00:13:04.380 shake his hand.

00:13:05.760 You have Pelosi

00:13:06.600 double down,

00:13:07.340 and what really

00:13:09.160 came out of this visit

00:13:10.240 is the terrorists

00:13:11.280 around the world,

00:13:12.040 Senator,

00:13:12.660 they saw an opportunity

00:13:13.980 in a moment

00:13:14.580 where they're like,

00:13:15.440 whoa,

00:13:16.240 America's really not 0.71

00:13:17.400 backing up Israel anymore.

00:13:19.060 We might be able

00:13:19.740 to actually get

00:13:20.480 what we want here,

00:13:21.520 which is to bring them

00:13:22.980 into a full-out war

00:13:24.160 and start something

00:13:26.040 because that's what

00:13:26.540 terrorists do

00:13:27.620 because they realize

00:13:29.300 that right now

00:13:30.820 the leadership

00:13:31.460 in this country

00:13:32.160 has completely abandoned

00:13:33.560 and turned their back

00:13:34.280 on Israel.

00:13:35.540 Well, to be clear,

00:13:36.400 the leadership

00:13:37.020 in this country

00:13:37.820 means the Democrats

00:13:38.840 in this country

00:13:39.620 because the elected Democrats

00:13:41.240 are the ones

00:13:42.000 who are actively

00:13:43.160 abandoning Israel.

00:13:44.960 And you look at,

00:13:46.500 look,

00:13:46.700 I was sitting

00:13:47.420 on the floor

00:13:48.580 of the House

00:13:49.120 when Prime Minister Netanyahu

00:13:50.400 gave a speech.

00:13:51.140 I was in the front row.

00:13:51.960 I was standing

00:13:55.660 just mere feet away

00:13:57.320 from Chuck Schumer

00:13:58.100 when Netanyahu

00:13:58.700 walked past him

00:13:59.600 and he turned his back.

00:14:01.040 He refused to shake his hand.

00:14:02.460 It was an obvious snub.

00:14:04.100 Now,

00:14:04.740 Nancy Pelosi

00:14:05.840 denounced it

00:14:07.180 as the worst speech

00:14:08.040 any foreign leader

00:14:08.720 has ever given.

00:14:09.540 Kamala Harris

00:14:10.120 refused to attend.

00:14:11.800 So listen,

00:14:12.500 the Vice President

00:14:13.180 has almost no

00:14:14.320 official responsibilities,

00:14:15.800 but about the only thing

00:14:17.960 the Vice President

00:14:18.700 does is

00:14:19.500 break ties

00:14:20.860 on votes

00:14:21.780 in the Senate

00:14:22.260 and preside

00:14:22.940 over the Senate,

00:14:23.640 which means

00:14:24.140 sitting behind

00:14:25.800 a head of state

00:14:26.780 along with

00:14:27.280 the Speaker

00:14:27.620 of the House

00:14:28.120 when he or she

00:14:29.100 addresses a joint

00:14:29.860 session of Congress.

00:14:30.700 Well,

00:14:30.840 Kamala Harris

00:14:31.420 said,

00:14:32.340 I'm not willing

00:14:32.940 to be there,

00:14:33.520 didn't show up,

00:14:34.900 and then,

00:14:35.600 because I guess

00:14:36.160 someone on her campaign

00:14:37.320 said,

00:14:37.660 well,

00:14:37.800 gosh,

00:14:38.520 this is such

00:14:39.360 an obvious slight

00:14:40.180 to Israel,

00:14:40.860 maybe it's a problem,

00:14:42.320 she agreed

00:14:42.960 to meet with Netanyahu

00:14:44.120 and she met

00:14:47.080 with him

00:14:47.500 after the speech

00:14:48.840 and spent a total

00:14:50.320 of,

00:14:50.520 I think it was

00:14:51.060 14 seconds

00:14:52.500 with him

00:14:53.780 before they threw

00:14:54.560 the reporters out,

00:14:55.420 so it was literally

00:14:56.100 a photo op,

00:14:56.960 take a picture of me,

00:14:58.320 now reporters

00:14:58.980 get the hell out

00:14:59.700 because I got nothing

00:15:00.760 to say to this guy,

00:15:01.620 and listen,

00:15:02.840 the combination

00:15:03.500 of Kamala Harris

00:15:04.440 and Chuck Schumer

00:15:05.200 and Nancy Pelosi

00:15:06.160 all pissing all over

00:15:08.240 the elected leader 0.84

00:15:09.240 of Israel

00:15:09.840 is not lost

00:15:10.820 by anybody.

00:15:11.820 It's not lost

00:15:12.640 by our enemies,

00:15:13.460 it's not lost

00:15:14.140 by the enemies

00:15:14.840 of Israel,

00:15:15.720 it's not lost

00:15:16.480 by Hamas,

00:15:17.120 it's not lost

00:15:17.740 by Iran,

00:15:18.700 and it sure as hell

00:15:19.800 was not lost

00:15:20.560 by Hezbollah

00:15:21.240 because hours

00:15:22.640 after Kamala Harris

00:15:24.100 and Chuck Schumer

00:15:25.300 and Nancy Pelosi

00:15:26.860 publicly and visibly

00:15:29.060 undermined Israel, 0.96

00:15:30.660 Hezbollah fired 0.79

00:15:31.580 a rocket

00:15:32.100 that hit a soccer field

00:15:33.620 killing 12 children

00:15:35.920 in Israel.

00:15:36.960 Their actions

00:15:38.060 have consequences

00:15:39.100 when the enemies

00:15:39.820 of Israel realize,

00:15:41.100 wait,

00:15:41.820 the people in charge

00:15:42.760 of America right now,

00:15:43.920 they are not going

00:15:46.120 to have Israel's back.

00:15:47.360 Well, you know what?

00:15:48.040 There are tragically,

00:15:49.640 people are dying

00:15:50.680 because of that

00:15:51.840 antipathy to Israel

00:15:53.220 from the leadership

00:15:54.380 of the Democrat Party.

00:15:55.540 And it's also

00:15:56.740 the signal

00:15:57.520 that we're sending

00:15:58.240 that is,

00:15:59.060 hey,

00:16:00.060 not only are we not

00:16:01.260 backing them publicly,

00:16:02.500 but we're also

00:16:04.160 holding up

00:16:05.160 what Israel needs

00:16:06.260 to defend itself.

00:16:08.340 Congressman McCaul

00:16:09.440 said this

00:16:10.200 on Face the Nation

00:16:11.120 about the Biden

00:16:11.980 administration

00:16:12.640 and the weapons shipments

00:16:14.620 that are deliberately

00:16:15.420 being delayed.

00:16:16.840 I sign off

00:16:17.620 on all four military sales

00:16:18.920 and I sign off

00:16:19.740 on all the ones

00:16:20.500 that have gone

00:16:20.940 to Israel

00:16:21.480 and also to Ukraine

00:16:22.520 and Taiwan.

00:16:24.040 And so the fact is,

00:16:25.700 though,

00:16:25.860 that these shipments

00:16:26.660 have been delayed

00:16:27.620 intentionally.

00:16:29.200 Now,

00:16:29.580 the four corners,

00:16:30.600 that being the chair

00:16:31.140 and ranking member

00:16:31.820 of House Foreign Affairs

00:16:33.100 and Senate Relations,

00:16:34.300 we signed off

00:16:35.000 on these weapons

00:16:35.700 and for some reason

00:16:36.960 the administration

00:16:37.560 has withheld those weapons.

00:16:39.640 What's the reason?

00:16:39.880 I think maybe

00:16:41.640 it gives them leverage

00:16:42.580 over Israel 0.51

00:16:43.860 and decision-making

00:16:44.780 processes,

00:16:45.440 but when I talk

00:16:46.600 to the prime minister

00:16:47.480 in his office,

00:16:48.360 this creates daylight

00:16:49.860 between the United States

00:16:50.880 and Israel,

00:16:51.380 and I think it's

00:16:51.820 very dangerous,

00:16:52.920 especially right now,

00:16:54.580 for us to somehow

00:16:56.520 put daylight

00:16:57.600 between us

00:16:58.200 and our most important

00:16:59.100 U.S. ally,

00:17:00.280 the democracy

00:17:01.200 in the Middle East.

00:17:02.280 I mean,

00:17:03.660 we're deliberately

00:17:04.900 holding this up.

00:17:05.920 If you are a terrorist 0.95

00:17:07.140 right now

00:17:07.760 and you want to get

00:17:09.200 in an all-out war

00:17:10.000 with Israel,

00:17:10.460 which is what terrorists

00:17:11.540 want to do,

00:17:12.240 they want to be in war.

00:17:13.980 And that's what Hamas 0.95

00:17:14.780 is doing

00:17:15.180 and that's what Hezbollah

00:17:15.980 is moving towards doing.

00:17:17.700 Yeah,

00:17:18.100 so they're getting

00:17:19.380 what they want

00:17:20.020 all because they saw

00:17:21.200 from America's leaders

00:17:22.380 we are not standing

00:17:24.240 with Israel.

00:17:26.120 Look,

00:17:26.780 that is clearly right.

00:17:28.600 And the enemies of America

00:17:32.180 and the enemies of Israel

00:17:34.260 are only encouraged

00:17:35.580 while Prime Minister Netanyahu

00:17:37.260 was speaking

00:17:38.600 on the floor of the House,

00:17:40.760 while Kamala Harris

00:17:42.040 was boycotting that speech,

00:17:44.360 there were radical,

00:17:45.760 anti-Israel,

00:17:46.720 anti-American protesters

00:17:48.000 who took up

00:17:48.800 over Union Station

00:17:49.960 just north of the capital,

00:17:51.540 who pulled down

00:17:53.140 the American flag,

00:17:54.580 who burned

00:17:55.380 the American flag,

00:17:56.480 who hoisted up

00:17:57.760 in its place

00:17:58.400 a Palestinian flag,

00:18:00.040 who spray-painted

00:18:01.180 and vandalized

00:18:02.280 Hamas is coming. 0.92

00:18:03.580 They were not,

00:18:04.760 understand,

00:18:05.500 they're not there

00:18:05.920 talking about

00:18:06.400 two-state solution.

00:18:07.520 They're talking about

00:18:08.540 Hamas terrorists 0.99

00:18:09.740 are coming to murder you. 0.99

00:18:12.460 And you know what? 0.98

00:18:13.260 Kamala Harris

00:18:13.900 and the Democrat Party,

00:18:15.280 they want the votes

00:18:16.560 of these radicals.

00:18:17.520 You know what they didn't do?

00:18:18.740 They didn't arrest those guys.

00:18:19.920 I'm telling you right now,

00:18:20.880 Ben,

00:18:21.080 you try that in Texas, 1.00

00:18:22.820 they'll throw your ass in jail. 1.00

00:18:25.060 But in Washington, D.C., 1.00

00:18:27.060 it's run by Democrats,

00:18:29.140 and to be clear,

00:18:31.380 it was the Park Service

00:18:33.160 that had jurisdiction,

00:18:34.180 it was the Biden-Harris

00:18:35.560 administration

00:18:36.140 that could have

00:18:36.880 arrested them,

00:18:37.720 but they were not

00:18:38.800 willing to

00:18:39.720 because they're looking

00:18:40.620 to Dearborn, Michigan,

00:18:41.920 they're looking to Minnesota,

00:18:42.660 and they want the support

00:18:44.800 of those radicals.

00:18:46.920 And understand

00:18:47.560 where Kamala's

00:18:48.920 sympathies lie.

00:18:50.980 I want to go back

00:18:51.920 to an old clip

00:18:53.480 of Kamala Harris

00:18:54.380 speaking out,

00:18:55.720 not in defense of Israel,

00:18:56.920 but speaking out

00:18:58.680 explicitly in defense

00:19:00.140 of radical Islamic terrorists.

00:19:01.880 And she wants 0.90

00:19:03.000 to engage

00:19:04.400 in a woke,

00:19:05.920 politically correct effort

00:19:07.160 to expunge

00:19:08.480 those words

00:19:09.380 from the English language.

00:19:10.580 Here, give a listen.

00:19:11.140 We must have the courage

00:19:13.760 to object

00:19:15.180 when they use

00:19:16.400 that term

00:19:17.320 radical Islamic terrorism,

00:19:20.820 which ignores

00:19:21.860 how much of us

00:19:22.980 have over-dominated

00:19:24.200 been the greatest

00:19:25.660 victims of terror.

00:19:29.160 And we must.

00:19:31.960 Also have the courage

00:19:33.760 to reject that term

00:19:34.960 illegal alien.

00:19:36.140 I have seen

00:19:41.300 some of the worst

00:19:42.220 of criminal behavior.

00:19:44.060 I have seen

00:19:44.680 the worst of crime.

00:19:46.620 An undocumented immigrant

00:19:48.000 is not a criminal.

00:19:50.360 I mean, this is radical,

00:19:52.180 and I want to get

00:19:52.640 your reaction to it.

00:19:53.540 But first, let me tell you

00:20:59.240 Senator,

00:20:59.540 you hear Kamala Harris,

00:21:00.440 and there's actually

00:21:01.040 two themes there.

00:21:02.060 One, she's saying

00:21:02.700 don't say radical extremists,

00:21:04.200 Islamic extremists,

00:21:05.240 because somehow that's PC now.

00:21:06.700 You can't do it.

00:21:07.920 And, oh, by the way,

00:21:08.820 don't call legal immigrants 0.99

00:21:09.820 legal immigrants.

00:21:10.480 That's also mean, too.

00:21:11.660 This is the Kamala Harris agenda.

00:21:13.680 Get ready for it.

00:21:15.400 Look, it is who she is.

00:21:17.480 She is a creature

00:21:18.160 of the radical left.

00:21:19.740 And understand,

00:21:20.860 she is telling activists,

00:21:22.320 we must have the courage,

00:21:23.940 and that's her word,

00:21:24.720 courage,

00:21:25.700 to reject,

00:21:27.160 not radical Islamic terrorism,

00:21:28.900 but the words

00:21:30.680 radical Islamic terrorism.

00:21:32.660 We cannot acknowledge

00:21:33.940 who Hamas is. 0.50

00:21:35.080 We cannot acknowledge

00:21:36.340 who Hezbollah is.

00:21:37.520 We cannot acknowledge

00:21:38.400 who ISIS is.

00:21:39.480 We cannot acknowledge

00:21:40.380 who the Ayatollah in Iran is.

00:21:42.720 We must just

00:21:43.580 eliminate those words

00:21:45.460 from our language,

00:21:46.560 and likewise,

00:21:47.480 illegal alien.

00:21:48.080 We have to remove

00:21:49.000 those words,

00:21:49.580 never mind that they appear

00:21:50.660 over and over and over again

00:21:51.800 in federal law.

00:21:52.840 The words illegal alien,

00:21:53.780 that is the technical term

00:21:54.860 for it under federal law.

00:21:56.420 She wants to erase 0.87

00:21:57.440 those words.

00:21:57.980 She says,

00:21:58.620 being an illegal alien,

00:21:59.920 an illegal alien is not a criminal.

00:22:01.760 Well, no,

00:22:02.260 that is actually

00:22:02.840 an objectively false statement.

00:22:04.640 If you cross into this country 1.00

00:22:06.120 illegally,

00:22:07.300 you have broken a criminal law

00:22:08.980 that makes you a criminal.

00:22:10.400 And yet,

00:22:11.400 her perspective is not

00:22:13.680 trying to protect us.

00:22:16.880 It is instead,

00:22:19.340 she stands with

00:22:20.900 the illegal immigrants,

00:22:23.120 and she stands with

00:22:25.400 the radicals.

00:22:26.780 Look,

00:22:28.280 Joe Biden

00:22:29.020 and Kamala Harris

00:22:30.500 have flowed

00:22:31.260 over $100 billion

00:22:33.260 to the Ayatollah Khamenei,

00:22:35.320 who is funding Amas,

00:22:36.820 who funded

00:22:37.540 the death squads

00:22:38.860 on October 7th,

00:22:39.840 and who funds

00:22:40.980 Hezbollah,

00:22:41.900 who just murdered

00:22:42.720 12 Israeli children.

00:22:45.140 And when she claims

00:22:46.580 that illegal alien, 1.00

00:22:50.260 we shouldn't use

00:22:51.120 those words,

00:22:52.500 I want you to hear

00:22:53.620 about just one city.

00:22:55.100 Let's take the city

00:22:56.120 of Baltimore

00:22:56.720 and understand,

00:22:58.660 because she claims

00:22:59.360 illegal immigrants

00:23:00.040 are not committing crimes.

00:23:01.140 Well, here's what's

00:23:02.220 happening in Baltimore.

00:23:03.140 Give a listen.

00:23:04.240 In Baltimore County,

00:23:05.360 undocumented immigrants,

00:23:07.000 according to police,

00:23:07.800 are behind a troubling

00:23:08.560 number of child sex

00:23:09.440 offenses over a span

00:23:11.040 of 17 months.

00:23:12.880 Fox 45 researchers

00:23:13.820 found 10% of those

00:23:15.160 sexually charged

00:23:15.580 with abuse

00:23:17.020 were minors

00:23:17.900 and were non-citizens.

00:23:19.220 digging deeper

00:23:20.440 into this data,

00:23:21.320 Fox 45's Rebecca Pryor

00:23:22.680 joins us live now

00:23:23.780 with more.

00:23:24.780 Rebecca?

00:23:26.980 Yeah, Mary and Kai,

00:23:27.680 that 10% is alarming

00:23:29.480 all on its own,

00:23:31.020 but in digging

00:23:31.600 into these cases further,

00:23:33.040 Fox 45 researchers

00:23:34.120 also found that

00:23:35.540 not only do non-citizens 0.79

00:23:37.420 make up a large percentage

00:23:39.220 of these child sex 0.89

00:23:40.580 offense cases,

00:23:41.480 but they're also receiving

00:23:42.880 seemingly low sentences

00:23:44.660 from Baltimore County judges.

00:23:45.840 According to Fox 45 researchers,

00:23:49.960 from the start of last year

00:23:51.320 to May 2024,

00:23:53.280 the Baltimore County

00:23:53.940 State's Attorney's Office

00:23:55.080 bringing charges

00:23:56.240 against 99 people 0.82

00:23:57.880 for sexually abusing minors,

00:23:59.960 nearly 10% of which

00:24:01.720 federal immigration officials

00:24:03.320 say were living

00:24:04.460 in the country illegally,

00:24:06.220 despite non-citizens 0.98

00:24:07.540 only making up

00:24:08.460 about 3% of the total

00:24:10.400 U.S. population.

00:24:11.980 Maryland's ICE director

00:24:13.080 Matthew Elliston.

00:24:14.580 So our first case

00:24:15.720 is the child molester

00:24:18.380 he's at.

00:24:18.940 Saying for the last

00:24:19.740 two years,

00:24:20.540 the Baltimore Field Office

00:24:21.660 leads the nation

00:24:22.820 in sex offense arrests.

00:24:24.700 Back in June,

00:24:25.540 Fox 45's cameras

00:24:26.640 capturing the 105th

00:24:28.540 arrested so far

00:24:29.500 this fiscal year,

00:24:30.860 39-year-old

00:24:31.620 Luis Portillo-Henriquez

00:24:33.220 accused of repeatedly

00:24:34.560 raping a 14-year-old

00:24:36.080 family member

00:24:36.860 and convicted

00:24:37.720 of a felony charge.

00:24:39.280 And yet,

00:24:39.960 it didn't take long

00:24:40.620 for him to end up

00:24:41.440 back on the street.

00:24:42.560 Another great example

00:24:43.680 of Maryland judges

00:24:45.680 giving out

00:24:46.360 awkward sentences.

00:24:47.700 In this case,

00:24:48.860 a Baltimore County judge

00:24:49.880 suspending all but

00:24:50.760 18 months

00:24:51.720 of his 25-year sentence

00:24:53.940 and Fox 45

00:24:55.020 uncovering at least

00:24:55.960 four other cases

00:24:56.820 just like it.

00:24:58.040 This man,

00:24:58.900 accused of sexually

00:24:59.800 abusing a girl

00:25:00.520 between the ages

00:25:01.200 of 8 and 11,

00:25:02.640 also sentenced

00:25:03.380 to 25 years

00:25:04.460 but only 18 months

00:25:06.180 required to be served

00:25:07.360 behind bars.

00:25:08.440 These two men,

00:25:09.500 both accused of molesting

00:25:10.700 two close family members

00:25:12.340 sentenced to just

00:25:13.440 five years probation.

00:25:15.340 And this man,

00:25:16.400 accused of repeatedly

00:25:17.280 raping and assaulting

00:25:18.320 a seven-year-old girl

00:25:19.460 receiving a

00:25:20.580 stat disposition,

00:25:22.080 meaning the case

00:25:23.080 wouldn't go to court

00:25:23.880 at all unless he

00:25:24.880 violates certain conditions.

00:25:26.580 Elliston claiming,

00:25:27.640 time and time again,

00:25:28.780 the punishments

00:25:29.560 for non-citizens

00:25:30.620 in Baltimore County

00:25:31.640 rarely fit the crime.

00:25:33.460 You know,

00:25:33.620 unfortunately,

00:25:34.180 as we've seen,

00:25:35.460 even sex offenses

00:25:36.400 can get pled down

00:25:37.440 to misdemeanors.

00:25:38.420 Fox 45 attempting

00:25:39.460 to reach two of the judges

00:25:40.800 behind the sentences

00:25:41.840 for comment,

00:25:42.880 but we did not hear back.

00:25:44.500 The Maryland judiciary

00:25:45.300 also claiming

00:25:46.340 they're unable to comment

00:25:47.280 on specific sentences.

00:25:49.520 I mean,

00:25:50.260 you hear that,

00:25:51.220 Senator,

00:25:51.520 and it's just disgusting, 0.71

00:25:53.380 but seeming that 0.98

00:25:55.180 because they're illegals, 0.70

00:25:56.640 they get a...

00:25:57.120 How does that not

00:25:57.840 piss you off?

00:25:59.520 Look, 0.99

00:26:00.320 Democrats run

00:26:01.600 Baltimore, Maryland.

00:26:02.820 They run the city.

00:26:03.860 They run the city council.

00:26:05.180 They run the state.

00:26:06.440 They run the judiciary.

00:26:08.280 And in Baltimore,

00:26:09.540 understand the facts

00:26:11.200 of that news report.

00:26:13.560 Ten percent,

00:26:15.060 ten percent

00:26:15.680 of those charged

00:26:17.240 with child sex offenses

00:26:18.460 are illegal aliens.

00:26:20.140 And what do the

00:26:21.000 left-wing judges do? 0.93

00:26:21.960 They let them go.

00:26:22.940 And you know what

00:26:23.420 they do when they let them go?

00:26:24.240 Those guys turn around

00:26:25.060 and they assault other kids.

00:26:26.680 This is a pattern

00:26:27.560 that happens over

00:26:28.580 and over and over again.

00:26:30.000 And I got to say,

00:26:30.680 Kamala Harris,

00:26:32.240 I assume when she listens

00:26:33.760 to that news report,

00:26:34.840 what she's offended about

00:26:35.900 is,

00:26:36.860 my God,

00:26:37.240 they use the word

00:26:37.880 illegal immigrant,

00:26:38.820 illegal alien.

00:26:39.400 How could you use those words?

00:26:40.560 No, no, no.

00:26:40.960 Don't say that.

00:26:41.940 Do not...

00:26:42.480 How are you not

00:26:44.040 outraged at the children

00:26:46.400 being assaulted

00:26:47.460 but today's Democrat Party,

00:26:50.680 they're letting this happen

00:26:52.560 day after day after day?

00:26:54.660 Well, and it's not just

00:26:55.600 these individuals

00:26:56.480 that are coming across

00:26:57.800 the border illegally

00:26:58.660 and then committing

00:27:00.600 terrible crimes

00:27:02.160 against American citizens 0.94

00:27:03.840 and taking American citizens' lives.

00:27:05.560 We've talked about that

00:27:06.620 a lot on the show

00:27:07.200 and we will continue to do it.

00:27:08.440 But there's also

00:27:10.080 the terrorism aspect of this.

00:27:12.600 The New York Post

00:27:13.240 is now reporting

00:27:14.040 that three Palestinian 0.99

00:27:15.840 terrorist suspects

00:27:16.720 were caught

00:27:17.560 after crossing the border illegally

00:27:19.280 as overwhelmed agents warn,

00:27:22.900 quote,

00:27:23.780 I probably let terrorists in.

00:27:27.000 So the people that their job

00:27:29.080 is to try to protect us

00:27:30.780 are saying,

00:27:31.380 we're so overrun

00:27:32.460 with illegal immigrants.

00:27:34.140 The reality is,

00:27:35.020 yes,

00:27:35.220 we are probably letting terrorists

00:27:36.920 into this country.

00:27:38.600 Well,

00:27:38.820 and this is a story

00:27:39.980 that broke this weekend

00:27:41.040 that you didn't learn about

00:27:42.880 on CNN.

00:27:44.280 You didn't learn about it

00:27:45.420 on ABC, CBS, NBC.

00:27:47.000 It was the New York Post

00:27:47.660 that broke the story.

00:27:48.980 And let me read you

00:27:49.660 from the story

00:27:50.180 because this is going to,

00:27:51.040 you want to talk about

00:27:51.940 the dangers we're facing.

00:27:53.280 Here's what the New York Post

00:27:54.060 reported,

00:27:54.540 quote,

00:27:55.320 Border agents detained

00:27:56.520 three Palestinian migrants

00:27:58.520 who illegally crossed

00:28:00.080 the southern border

00:28:00.900 after they were found

00:28:02.580 to have possible ties

00:28:03.720 to terrorist organizations

00:28:05.000 earlier this month,

00:28:06.360 according to sources.

00:28:07.140 One of the migrants 1.00

00:28:08.900 had, quote,

00:28:09.640 salacious photos

00:28:10.540 on their phone,

00:28:11.260 including a picture

00:28:12.140 of a masked man

00:28:13.560 holding an AK-47 rifle,

00:28:15.380 federal law enforcement

00:28:16.180 sources say.

00:28:17.340 And by the way,

00:28:18.120 it shows the picture

00:28:19.040 of the masked man.

00:28:19.920 The man is wearing

00:28:20.620 basically a ski mask

00:28:21.800 and holding an AK-47.

00:28:23.720 Looks like a very scary terrorist.

00:28:26.180 That's what he's got

00:28:26.720 on his phone.

00:28:28.080 Going back to the article,

00:28:29.840 quote,

00:28:30.060 in addition to the three

00:28:30.940 Palestinians,

00:28:31.740 federal authorities

00:28:32.380 caught one migrant 0.96

00:28:33.180 from Turkey

00:28:33.740 who was also suspected

00:28:35.300 of having ties

00:28:36.200 to terror groups.

00:28:38.400 The migrants 0.99

00:28:38.900 were among groups

00:28:40.260 of dozens of migrants

00:28:41.760 who turned themselves

00:28:42.620 into border agents

00:28:43.600 at the San Diego sector,

00:28:45.360 the sources.

00:28:46.660 An investigation

00:28:47.480 into the migrants 0.92

00:28:48.340 is ongoing.

00:28:49.660 The article continues,

00:28:51.020 it's the latest example

00:28:52.120 of potential security threats

00:28:53.400 entering the U.S.

00:28:54.260 via the southern border,

00:28:55.760 especially at San Diego.

00:28:58.660 Overwhelmed border patrol agents

00:28:59.980 tell the Post

00:29:00.640 that they do not have

00:29:01.440 the tools to fully vet

00:29:02.540 the migrants 0.88

00:29:03.020 who are coming in

00:29:04.120 from all over the world,

00:29:05.780 particularly into

00:29:07.040 the San Diego area.

00:29:09.060 Mostly,

00:29:09.540 they're only able to use

00:29:10.580 U.S. terror watch lists

00:29:11.860 and other American resources

00:29:13.060 to help determine

00:29:13.900 which migrants 0.64

00:29:15.100 could be a terror threat.

00:29:16.900 Border agents

00:29:17.440 do not have access

00:29:18.500 to terror or criminal databases

00:29:20.120 for other countries.

00:29:21.280 And here's a quote

00:29:22.020 from a border agent.

00:29:23.600 Knowing who these guys are,

00:29:25.140 we have, like,

00:29:26.260 no access

00:29:27.020 to anything international

00:29:29.100 like we really don't 0.98

00:29:31.080 and it kind of sucks. 0.98

00:29:33.600 And the agent continues 0.99

00:29:35.220 to go on,

00:29:35.920 quote,

00:29:36.600 I wanted to get

00:29:37.980 into border patrol

00:29:38.900 and protect

00:29:40.200 from terrorists.

00:29:42.060 And it's like,

00:29:43.320 well,

00:29:44.020 I probably let terrorists

00:29:46.280 in the country.

00:29:48.200 That's what

00:29:49.220 Joe Biden

00:29:50.540 and Kamala Harris

00:29:51.760 are doing.

00:29:53.320 And yet,

00:29:53.640 if you listen

00:29:54.200 to Kamala Harris,

00:29:55.100 here's what she has

00:29:56.260 to say about

00:29:57.020 these issues.

00:29:58.940 Irresponsible,

00:29:59.500 it's the height

00:29:59.980 of irresponsibility

00:30:01.000 for the commander

00:30:03.220 in chief

00:30:03.920 to suggest

00:30:04.920 that we have

00:30:06.240 to build a wall

00:30:07.400 across our southern border

00:30:08.840 because there are terrorists

00:30:10.300 who are trying

00:30:11.660 to invade

00:30:13.000 the country.

00:30:14.520 It couldn't be

00:30:15.560 farther from the truth.

00:30:16.740 that's how either 0.89

00:30:18.680 ignorant 0.98

00:30:19.580 or how much 1.00

00:30:21.040 of a pathological liar 1.00

00:30:22.240 Kamala Harris is 0.99

00:30:23.360 when she was attacking

00:30:24.840 Donald Trump

00:30:25.840 for wanting to build

00:30:26.700 the wall

00:30:27.140 because he said

00:30:27.900 then terrorists

00:30:29.240 were coming across

00:30:30.020 the southern border

00:30:30.780 and the media

00:30:31.560 went nuts,

00:30:32.140 said,

00:30:32.300 no,

00:30:32.460 they're not.

00:30:33.240 And it,

00:30:34.200 sure enough,

00:30:34.720 became true.

00:30:35.980 You could fact check it.

00:30:37.320 He was telling

00:30:37.880 the truth

00:30:38.400 and she calls it

00:30:39.900 dangerous

00:30:40.520 to even mention

00:30:41.660 the idea

00:30:42.400 and now

00:30:43.000 it's happening

00:30:43.640 under the Biden-Harris

00:30:45.160 watch

00:30:45.740 on a regular

00:30:47.540 basis.

00:30:48.980 Well,

00:30:49.180 and you know

00:30:49.740 who has made clear

00:30:50.700 that Kamala was lying

00:30:52.360 when she said that?

00:30:53.600 Actually,

00:30:54.020 the Border Patrol.

00:30:54.980 The same New York Post

00:30:56.260 article continues.

00:30:57.680 However,

00:30:58.040 border agents

00:30:58.580 in the San Diego sector

00:30:59.620 were warned

00:31:00.360 to be on the lookout

00:31:01.200 for individuals

00:31:01.940 tied to Palestinian

00:31:02.940 terror groups

00:31:03.700 after the October 7th

00:31:05.560 Hamas terror attack

00:31:06.560 on Israel.

00:31:07.180 And here's the quote

00:31:07.840 from the Border Patrol.

00:31:09.500 Quote,

00:31:10.620 San Diego field office

00:31:12.020 intelligence unit

00:31:13.000 assesses that

00:31:14.360 individuals inspired

00:31:15.680 by or reacting

00:31:17.580 to the current

00:31:18.460 Israel-Hamas conflict

00:31:19.960 may attempt

00:31:21.220 to travel to

00:31:22.260 or from

00:31:23.140 the area of hostilities

00:31:24.360 in the Middle East

00:31:25.220 via circuitous transit

00:31:27.300 across the southwest border.

00:31:30.040 Foreign fighters

00:31:30.700 motivated by ideology

00:31:32.200 or mercenary

00:31:32.960 soldiers of fortune

00:31:34.680 may attempt

00:31:35.840 to obfuscate travel

00:31:37.060 to or from

00:31:38.020 the U.S.

00:31:39.220 to or from

00:31:39.900 countries in the Middle East

00:31:41.080 through Mexico

00:31:42.100 and then it

00:31:43.440 in particular

00:31:44.640 adds the insignia

00:31:46.480 it lists the insignia

00:31:47.580 of Hamas

00:31:48.420 of Hezbollah

00:31:49.620 and Palestinian

00:31:51.180 Islamic Jihad. 0.51

00:31:52.280 So

00:31:52.420 Kabbalah Harris

00:31:53.740 is claiming

00:31:54.180 that's not happening

00:31:55.100 and yet the Border Patrol

00:31:56.180 is very explicit

00:31:57.120 that's exactly

00:31:58.000 what's happening.

00:31:59.220 Yeah,

00:31:59.400 it is another

00:32:00.340 national security issue

00:32:01.720 and this is going

00:32:02.660 to be one I think

00:32:03.520 has to come up

00:32:04.500 in the presidential debates.

00:32:06.540 It's not just

00:32:07.500 the people that are

00:32:08.280 coming across

00:32:08.780 committing crimes.

00:32:09.520 It is the real threat

00:32:11.040 to terrorism

00:32:11.660 to the point

00:32:12.200 where the people

00:32:12.720 working under you

00:32:13.740 are now saying

00:32:14.440 the reality is

00:32:15.540 we're so overrun.

00:32:16.860 I mean you go back

00:32:17.600 and quote what you

00:32:18.360 just said in the article.

00:32:20.080 The people that are

00:32:21.360 supposed to be doing

00:32:22.360 the job to keep us safe

00:32:23.460 are saying yes

00:32:24.140 we are failing

00:32:25.040 because we cannot

00:32:26.460 do our jobs.

00:32:28.760 Well,

00:32:29.600 and when you have

00:32:30.980 an administration

00:32:31.580 that has decided

00:32:32.620 partisan politics

00:32:33.800 matters more

00:32:34.900 than protecting

00:32:36.580 children from

00:32:37.520 sexual predators

00:32:38.380 protecting Americans 1.00

00:32:39.500 from murderers

00:32:40.540 and protecting

00:32:41.160 families all across

00:32:43.060 this country

00:32:43.580 from terrorists

00:32:44.300 seeking to attack

00:32:45.680 and threaten our lives

00:32:47.960 the result is

00:32:49.440 that everyone

00:32:50.280 is less safe.

00:34:05.900 I got a final

00:34:06.440 question I gotta

00:34:07.100 ask you

00:34:07.600 because this

00:34:08.080 has been a story

00:34:08.900 that has kind

00:34:10.340 of made its way

00:34:11.080 around among

00:34:12.440 social media circles

00:34:13.920 with conservatives

00:34:14.600 but still not

00:34:15.440 getting traction

00:34:16.260 and it should

00:34:17.720 and that is

00:34:18.980 how insane

00:34:19.880 Google has become

00:34:21.060 even when you're

00:34:22.380 trying to Google

00:34:23.120 something about

00:34:23.920 Donald Trump's

00:34:25.080 assassination

00:34:25.900 attempt on him

00:34:27.360 and they want

00:34:28.500 to suppress it

00:34:29.900 I don't understand

00:34:31.460 how this is a win

00:34:32.460 for them

00:34:32.860 but sure enough

00:34:33.600 they're doing

00:34:34.020 it

00:34:34.360 listen

00:34:36.400 big tech

00:34:37.320 has been

00:34:38.860 malevolent

00:34:39.940 in this country

00:34:40.780 and there is

00:34:41.340 no worse

00:34:41.960 actor

00:34:42.480 than Google

00:34:43.600 Google is

00:34:45.060 and I do not

00:34:45.640 mean this

00:34:46.140 that this is

00:34:46.680 not hyperbole

00:34:47.420 Google is

00:34:48.180 an enemy

00:34:48.760 of democracy

00:34:50.380 it is an

00:34:51.760 enemy

00:34:52.080 of truth

00:34:53.600 and Google

00:34:54.820 has decided

00:34:55.620 it is an

00:34:56.240 enemy of reality

00:34:57.280 if you type in

00:34:58.380 on Sunday

00:34:59.760 evening

00:35:00.320 attempted

00:35:01.080 assassination

00:35:01.940 of TR

00:35:02.940 now

00:35:04.040 as you're

00:35:04.720 typing that

00:35:05.180 in

00:35:05.440 let me tell

00:35:06.060 you what

00:35:06.320 the autocomplete

00:35:07.220 results are

00:35:07.980 for that

00:35:08.500 first one

00:35:09.560 that comes

00:35:09.980 up is

00:35:10.420 attempted

00:35:10.780 assassination

00:35:11.320 of Truman

00:35:12.340 because clearly

00:35:13.520 that's what

00:35:13.920 people are

00:35:14.280 searching for

00:35:14.800 the next

00:35:16.180 one that

00:35:16.500 comes up

00:35:16.940 is most

00:35:17.580 attempted

00:35:17.960 assassination

00:35:18.500 the next

00:35:19.140 one that

00:35:19.420 comes up

00:35:19.860 is list

00:35:20.780 of attempted

00:35:21.260 assassinations

00:35:22.000 the next

00:35:22.360 one that

00:35:22.620 comes up

00:35:23.040 is famous

00:35:23.840 attempted

00:35:24.280 assassinations

00:35:25.040 The next one that comes up is failed assassination attempts in history.

00:35:28.880 The next one is attempted assassination of President Truman.

00:35:32.080 The next one is attempted assassination of Harry Truman.

00:35:35.160 The next one is attempted assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

00:35:39.880 And the next one is attempted assassination of Ford.

00:35:43.540 So, look, what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, according to Google, did not occur.

00:35:48.420 Here's what I tweeted on Sunday.

00:35:50.540 I said, this is insane.

00:35:52.520 Google is engaged in active election interference.

00:35:56.460 They are gaslighting the American people and trying to erase the attempted assassination of Trump.

00:36:02.860 And by the way, to be clear, it's not just Google.

00:36:08.000 Chat GPT.

00:36:10.140 If you type into chat GPT, was Trump almost assassinated?

00:36:16.120 Do you know what it responds with?

00:36:17.720 What?

00:36:18.120 Quote, there is no verified information or evidence that Donald Trump was almost assassinated during his presidency or afterwards.

00:36:26.160 There have been various threats and security incidents, but none have involved a serious attempt on his life that would qualify as an assassination attempt. 0.97

00:36:34.940 Now, that is utter and complete garbage. 0.99

00:36:38.040 That is a lie. 1.00

00:36:39.340 And by the way, fire chief, Corey Comparatore, who was murdered when the assassin shot him after hitting Donald Trump in the ear and coming within a half inch of murdering Donald Trump.

00:36:52.880 That's directly to the contrary.

00:36:55.420 And yet big tech is literally George Orwell would roll over in his grave at the willingness, the eagerness, the shamefulness of big tech to try to erase.

00:37:09.640 And we're not talking ancient history.

00:37:11.100 We're talking history in the last couple of weeks.

00:37:14.320 Yeah, in the last couple of weeks. 0.64

00:37:16.520 And yet this is exactly how you say, hey, don't believe your lying eyes.

00:37:20.820 Three different stories a day, all going back to that same consistent scenario with the left where it's, hey, if we don't admit that it actually happened, if we just don't believe what really happened and we don't report on it that way, somehow we can influence some people to believe that it really didn't happen.

00:37:38.500 And we've seen this on social media.

00:37:40.280 People are like, oh, I think he faked it.

00:37:41.820 Oh, I don't think it was real.

00:37:43.440 I mean, even the questions in Congress with like, oh, well, we're not sure a bullet actually hit Trump and the FBI to come back out and clarify those remarks.

00:37:51.520 It's it is total insanity right now in this country.

00:37:55.400 And even in Washington, I mean, the FBI director, well, we're not sure if it was shrapnel or maybe it hit something.

00:38:00.540 And then they're like, OK, just kidding.

00:38:01.840 We got that wrong.

00:38:02.680 Yes, it was actually a bullet.

00:38:04.440 The stakes have never been higher than they are right now.

00:38:07.060 Yeah, it's a great way of putting it.
