00:00:10.160
And these are the big stories that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
00:00:16.500
Why is the media covering for a terrorist organization, Hamas, and lying to you about
00:00:22.820
A perfect example is the fake bombing of the hospital in Gaza that everyone blamed on Israel.
00:00:29.140
Story number two, Donald Trump, election interference.
00:00:33.700
A new gag order has been put on the former president.
00:00:36.780
How on earth can he run in a free and fair election if they won't let him talk or defend
00:00:44.420
And finally, what can you do as an American to actually help people in Israel?
00:00:50.380
We talked to someone on the ground in Israel, and he will explain exactly what the needs are.
00:00:55.500
It is the Weekend Review with Ted Cruz, and it starts right now.
00:01:00.400
You know, I would like to ask MSNBC to put out a formal statement explaining how someone
00:01:06.240
who's raping a little girl is not a bad guy.
0.99
00:01:11.340
You've got to understand, because the Palestinians are living under the boot of the Israeli military.
00:01:29.260
And the reason we've devoted this entire pod to this, more of this will come.
00:01:37.360
I'm sorry to tell you next week it's going to be worse.
00:01:42.140
And in three weeks it's going to be even worse than that, because as this war proceeds, Hamas
0.99
00:01:47.660
is going to succeed in getting Palestinian civilians killed.
1.00
00:01:54.180
And when they have dead Palestinian civilians that they put in harm's way, then all the CNN
00:02:00.200
cameras are going to rush to film the bodies and stand there and say Israel has committed
00:02:07.060
Now, mind you, their alternative is do what the Biden State Department asked them to do.
00:02:16.260
You can murder 1,200 Israelis and we'll do nothing because, look, the objective of Hamas
0.99
00:02:24.180
is the same as the objective of anti-Semites in America, and it is to utterly destroy Israel.
0.96
00:02:30.860
Israel, and these corporate media propagandists are integral in the effort to destroy Israel.
00:02:39.200
You know, Ben, we've given several examples from MSNBC, from CNN, and from ABC, but I don't
00:02:46.900
want people to think that CBS and NBC are blameless in this because, sadly, the corporate media,
00:02:56.860
First of all was the initial headline they put up, and it reads, Israeli twin babies
00:03:02.600
found hidden and unharmed at kibbutz where Hamas killed their parents, allegedly beheaded
00:03:10.940
So that's on October 12th, a headline from CBS News.
00:03:14.500
Now, thankfully, CBS came back and edited that headline, and so the second headline they
00:03:19.880
put up was, Israeli twin babies found hidden and unharmed at kibbutz where Hamas killed
00:03:32.160
The first headline is part of a very deliberate propaganda effort to say babies were not beheaded.
00:03:40.580
And you look at allegedly beheaded children, and the point is, aha, we found some babies,
00:03:46.800
so it's not true that they beheaded children because here are two babies who are alive.
00:03:50.560
I mean, that, that is so mendacious it doesn't even pass the laugh test.
00:03:58.100
And the topic, how are we discussing babies being beheaded?
00:04:04.860
It's not difficult to tell the political agenda of the headline writer who wrote the first headline.
00:04:18.860
Cast doubt on all stories of atrocities you may have heard over the last week.
00:04:25.220
By the way, that word allegedly, sometimes they use it, sometimes they don't.
00:04:29.440
When Israel strikes at Gaza and their Palestinian civilians killed, 20 bucks says right now CBS
00:04:47.040
Conservatives stoke fears of a Hamas attack in U.S.
00:04:55.140
The posts show how quickly the latest bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas has upended
00:05:00.120
online political debate thousands of miles away.
00:05:03.160
Now, I've been part of this political debate online because I told the story.
00:05:09.600
There have been more terrorists on the terrorist watch list this year that have been caught coming
00:05:15.540
across the border than the last five years combined.
00:05:17.520
So I guess I'm a part of the online, you know, the online political debate by telling the
00:05:22.920
facts that there have been more people on the terrorist watch list that have come across
00:05:27.580
the border and been caught this year, doesn't count any of the gotaways, any of the people
00:05:30.640
that got across we don't know about, than the last five years combined.
00:05:33.940
And if you say that now, now you're part of some weird conspiracy theories group.
00:05:38.840
NBC went all in trying to cover that there's no reason to think terrorism will happen in
00:05:45.100
the United States, by the way, among the conservatives stoking fears are apparently you and me because
00:05:49.240
Friday's podcast, we went into great length on this, how this is particularly dangerous
00:05:55.500
when you have Hamas calling for a global day of jihad and we've had two and a half years
00:06:00.260
of open borders with hundreds, if not thousands of criminals and terrorists crossing into this
00:06:07.220
And look, the numbers that we have of people on the terror watch list, the numbers that we
00:06:11.040
have of people from special interest countries, those are disturbing, but it's the tip of the
0.98
00:06:19.960
We don't know how many terrorists came on the gotaways.
00:06:24.180
We know that the fact that they got away shows they're deliberately evading arrest.
00:06:32.240
They're not because if you're blameless, if you don't have a criminal record, if you're not
00:06:36.760
a gang member, if you're not a terrorist, you turn yourself into the Biden administration
00:06:42.360
So there's no reason to be a gotaway unless you're a drug dealer, unless you're a criminal,
00:06:53.400
And the number, you're looking at upwards of a million and a half gotaways.
00:06:56.760
We don't know how many terrorists are among that group.
00:06:59.620
But NBC is reporting as news, there's no reason to be afraid of terrorism in America.
00:07:05.860
Never mind the million and a half people who came in who could be terrorists.
00:07:09.060
Never mind the fact that if you were a terrorist, if you wanted to commit jihad, there's an obvious
00:07:15.420
Yet you and I are not giving away some state secrets saying if you're a terrorist who wants
1.00
00:07:19.720
to murder Americans, the way to do it is cross over our southern border because these idiots
1.00
00:07:24.440
in the White House will let you go and they're not enforcing the border.
1.00
00:07:31.260
You can get away because the Border Patrol agents are so swamped with processing paperwork
00:07:37.720
and changing diapers and dealing with the 7.6 million illegal immigrants that they're
0.99
00:07:42.460
not able to be actually protecting this nation.
00:07:45.760
And mind you, the Biden administration has also pulled federal air marshals off of planes
00:07:50.680
so our planes are less secure because they're down there doing paperwork as well.
00:07:54.600
These two crises are intertwined and NBC News does not want anyone to connect that our open
00:08:01.600
borders makes us subject to a greater risk of terrorism.
00:08:06.980
The risk of a major terror attack today is greater than any time it has been since 9-11.
00:08:13.440
Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation, you can go back and listen to the full podcast
00:08:20.820
Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected
1.00
00:08:26.940
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:08:32.800
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women, entrepreneurs, artists,
00:08:38.180
athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their journey.
00:08:42.580
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:08:45.820
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:08:53.940
This gag order that was just put on former President Donald Trump, plain and simple, is this election
00:09:00.040
interference at its worst, but also at its finest for Democrats who say, hey, we can shut
00:09:05.500
up a candidate running the leader in the lead by, I don't know, 40 plus points, depending
00:09:11.760
We're going to make sure this guy can't defend himself and what we're trying to do to him.
00:09:21.560
Quote, all interested parties in this matter, including the parties in their council, are
00:09:26.320
prohibited from making any public statements or directing others to make any public statements
00:09:30.180
that target, one, the special counsel prosecuting this case or his staff, two, defense counsel
00:09:35.060
or their staff, three, any of this court staff or other supporting personnel, and four, any
00:09:39.940
reasonable foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.
00:09:43.560
Now I want to focus in particular on two of them.
00:09:45.720
Number one, the special counsel prosecuting the case.
00:09:47.840
The judge is saying, you're not allowed to make this case, that the special counsel is
00:09:53.180
a rabid partisan Democrat who's made a career out of prosecuting Republicans, out of abusing
00:09:57.880
his power, and he's saying Trump can't make that point.
00:10:05.400
But even more importantly, number four, Trump is prohibited from saying, making any public
00:10:13.360
comments about any reasonable foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.
00:10:22.280
Mike Pence is currently running against Donald Trump for President of the United States.
00:10:26.220
So you now have a federal judge saying, you, the leading candidate for President of the
00:10:30.600
United States, as a Republican, are prohibited by this court from making any comments, positive
00:10:37.900
or negative, about Mike Pence, one of your opponents.
00:10:43.660
You know, I can just envision if Trump participated in a debate, and I don't know if he will or
00:10:48.980
not, but you can imagine him on a debate stage and Mike Pence stands up and attacks him, and
00:10:53.340
Mike Pence has criticism of Trump, and Trump turns to him, and if Trump were to follow this
00:10:59.300
order, I guess Trump would say, I would like to respond to those comments, but I am prohibited
00:11:04.340
by court order from saying anything regarding the individual who just said that.
00:11:10.860
That is right in the face laughing at the First Amendment, laughing at free speech, laughing
00:11:19.760
Now, watch and listen to what Donald Trump said in response to this.
00:11:24.240
They think the only way they can catch me is to stop me from speaking.
00:11:36.260
Which I believe is totally unconstitutional, what she did.
0.61
00:11:51.420
But this is weaponry all being done because Joe Biden is losing the election and losing
00:12:01.380
But what they don't understand is that I am willing to go to jail if that's what it takes
00:12:07.040
for our country to win and become a democracy again.
00:12:17.400
He's calling it out and saying, fine, you want to go there?
00:12:21.440
I'm willing to go to defend my rights to that end.
00:12:24.980
There are very few statements Donald Trump has made that I agree with more emphatically
00:12:33.340
By the way, on the face of it, he arguably violated the gag order right there because he's
00:12:37.940
pointing out that the judge is a radical leftist and is, in fact, one of the most liberal judges,
00:12:42.760
if not the most liberal judge in the entire D.C. court.
00:12:46.920
I don't think the D.C. judge is going to dare to put him in jail like you could.
00:12:54.720
Based on that, could she actually go and arrest him?
00:12:57.260
She could issue an order, go arrest him and put him in jail.
0.98
00:13:02.880
Part of me wants her to do that because if she did, he would immediately,
00:13:07.420
leave a appeal and I am absolutely certain the appellate courts would reverse it.
00:13:14.460
Even for a hardcore leftist judge, she knows that.
00:13:22.260
That's my question because if you know Donald Trump at all, you know he's going to push that button.
00:13:26.740
Because there's an arrogance to it and I think what she probably will do is fine him.
00:13:36.140
I think she'll try to find something that is really explicitly blasting the prosecutor,
00:13:42.720
explicitly blasting Mike Pence or some other potential witness.
00:13:47.160
And I think what is likely to, that we're likely to see is that she enters an order fining him
00:13:53.160
$1,000 or $5,000 or $15,000 or whatever, some amount.
00:14:01.520
But it will not be appealed with the urgency of if she issued an order for the leading Republican candidate to be incarcerated.
00:14:10.440
And the former president of the United States of America.
00:14:12.860
Yes, that appeal would be resolved within hours.
00:14:16.340
Like that would be done on an emergency expedited basis.
00:14:24.460
Look, the Supreme Court in a case called Seattle Times v. Reinhardt said that litigants' First Amendment rights,
00:14:36.520
may be subordinated to other interests that arise in the courthouse.
00:14:39.360
For instance, on several occasions, this court has approved restrictions on the communication of trial participants
00:14:44.080
where necessary to ensure a fair trial for a criminal defendant.
00:14:48.140
But this isn't designed to ensure a fair trial for a criminal defendant.
00:14:52.560
This is designed to hurt the criminal defendant.
00:14:54.560
And I will point out, in New York Times v. Sullivan, which is a landmark, maybe the landmark, free speech, freedom of the press case,
00:15:06.280
the Supreme Court said that the First Amendment reflects, quote,
00:15:09.880
a profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide open,
00:15:17.300
and that it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attack on government and public officials.
00:15:26.060
What this judge has just said is you're not allowed to criticize the prosecutor.
00:15:29.360
You're not allowed to criticize Merrick Garland, the most political attorney general in America's history,
00:15:33.780
for weaponizing the Department of Justice to go after you because he's afraid you'll win the election
00:15:37.560
and he wants to abuse the justice system to lock you up because he doesn't want the voters to be able to vote for you.
00:15:51.080
That's not about protecting the integrity of the trial.
00:15:53.760
That's about, I don't like anyone knowing what's going on.
00:15:58.840
That's why every time Trump gets indicted, his numbers in the primary go up.
00:16:02.940
Because it's obvious, whether you like Trump or don't like Trump,
1.00
00:16:06.280
even people that don't like Trump, they look at this and say, this is garbage.
0.99
00:16:09.800
And this gag order, I got to say, this judge may overreach.
0.99
00:16:20.140
Now, the gag order on the face of it is not likely to be immediately appealable on an expedited basis.
00:16:28.620
When the appeal will speed up, in all likelihood, is when the judge orders a consequence.
00:16:36.180
If the judge ordered incarceration, if the judge says, lock Donald Trump up.
0.97
00:16:46.540
I don't know her, but from everything I know, I'm assuming, and her record indicates she's a hardcore leftist.
0.99
00:16:53.880
If you issue an order, go incarcerate the president of the United States, lock him up.
00:16:58.840
By the way, you want to talk about unprecedented, put it in handcuffs, put it in prison.
00:17:04.080
So in the cell, you're going to have secret service agents protecting Donald Trump in prison.
00:17:09.020
If she issued that order, you would have an emergency expedited appeal.
00:17:13.320
And my prediction is in less than a day, it would be reversed.
00:17:16.900
I don't even think it would take, it wouldn't take 24 hours.
00:17:22.440
Send me to jail, you crazy, lunatic partisan, who is rubber stamping this abuse of power from the most partisan attorney general we've ever seen.
1.00
00:17:35.700
This gag order is a sad moment in American democracy.
00:17:41.140
And let me close the podcast with this question.
00:17:43.500
Can you name a single Democrat who's criticized the gag order?
00:17:50.720
So I can't name an elected Democrat, but I can actually, I'm going to close with this.
00:18:05.400
When I litigated the case defending the Texas Ten Commandments monument in Texas, went to the Supreme Court.
00:18:12.440
The lawyer on the other side was Irwin Chemerinsky.
00:18:15.360
He and I have done multiple debates one-on-one.
00:18:17.840
He's a very smart, very affable, very liberal constitutional law professor.
00:18:23.740
So Irwin wrote on October 17, 2023, an op-ed in the L.A. Times entitled,
00:18:29.940
A Federal Judge's Gag Order Against Trump May Be Satisfying, But It Isn't Constitutional.
00:18:38.060
Basic First Amendment principles cast serious doubt on the judge's order.
00:18:41.980
The Supreme Court has long held that court orders prohibiting speech constitute prior restraint
00:18:46.140
and are allowed only in extraordinary and compelling circumstances.
00:18:50.500
What is particularly troubling about Chutkin's order is that it seems primarily concerned
00:18:55.540
with protecting prosecutors and court personnel from Trump's vitriol.
00:18:59.320
The law is clear that speech can't be restricted to prevent government officials
00:19:07.460
The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that the First Amendment protects a right to
00:19:14.500
There is no reason to believe, however, that Trump's criticism of Smith, his staff or court
00:19:21.500
It is impossible to imagine that Trump's attacks will change how the prosecutors behave.
00:19:26.860
Irwin Chemerinsky is demonstrating principle here.
00:19:31.300
Name one Democrat senator who's shown this principle.
00:19:34.900
Name one Democrat House member who's shown this principle.
00:19:37.460
If they exist, I don't know about it because today's Democrat members of Congress hate Donald Trump so much
00:19:44.600
that the rule of law, that the rule of law, the First Amendment, the Constitution, free speech, none of it matters.
00:19:55.340
As before, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation on this topic, you can go back and download the podcast from early this week to hear the entire thing.
00:20:04.020
I want to get back to the big story, number three of the week you may have missed.
00:20:09.660
Lastly, for everyone in the U.S. that's going to be hearing this, is there anything that they can do?
00:20:16.340
I've had so many people reach out saying they want to get involved.
00:20:21.680
You obviously pray for the people of Israel and those of the loved ones are still have their loved ones who are missing that are being held hostage.
00:20:29.940
But is there anything else that Americans can do if they want to be involved?
00:20:34.480
Thank you for asking and having had the privilege of representing America here in Israel for four years, I know that Americans love Israel and I know that Americans love being on the side of good and Israel is a great example of that.
00:20:49.880
Here are the three things that somebody can do.
00:20:53.180
And I just want to highlight for one moment, it's important for all the listeners to know that there were 30 Americans killed in this tragedy.
00:21:02.060
And there are 11 Americans at least still missing.
00:21:06.800
I remember a time where there was a submarine, a tourist submarine to go see the Titanic.
00:21:12.920
And I think there were five, six, seven people on board.
00:21:15.360
And the nation was gripped by how many hours of oxygen that they had left.
00:21:20.800
And it was this porn of watching these people die.
00:21:25.660
But the world was gripped and prayed and whatever else happened to happen.
00:21:30.280
And I'm not belittling that by any stretch of imagination.
00:21:33.660
But I do not see the same captivation of America of 11 American young men and women being held hostage.
00:21:47.000
The leaders of their organization sit in a major non-MEDO allied country, Qatar.
00:21:52.300
They sit there in the Four Seasons Villas and are living it up while they know where our young men and how young women are.
00:22:00.820
And I don't know why there's not a counter of how many seconds have gone by since their parents, if their parents are still alive, have seen them last.
00:22:14.280
But there are Americans amongst the hostages and Americans amongst the kills in action.
00:22:21.200
And we have people protesting the streets, rooting these people on.
00:22:25.760
They are rooting on the killing and the kidnapping of Americans.
0.87
00:22:34.140
Three different things we can do as human beings, certainly as Americans, as we're highly influential and connected.
00:22:54.080
Number two is Israel will defend itself by itself.
00:23:02.080
It needs arms, needs weapons, needs to be able to be resupplied, and it needs diplomatic cover to be able to continue to do this.
00:23:10.760
The senator has pointed out so clearly how fast the world turns against Israel.
00:23:15.520
The United States needs to have the moral clarity to allow Israel to excise this tumor along its side called Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Iran.
0.87
00:23:24.700
It needs that diplomatic space and needs the weaponry to be able to do it by itself.
00:23:29.940
The third thing is, look, all of my neighbors, as I said, have somebody who's at the front.
00:23:35.440
I don't know how they sleep at night, which is why I was more than honored to be up in the middle of the night to be able to be on this podcast.
00:23:48.280
But whatever it is that you do, do it until it hurts.
00:23:52.000
There are mothers who cannot sleep tonight because their kids are missing.
00:23:55.480
There are fathers who cannot sleep tonight because their kids are on the front and they don't know if they will come home.
00:24:00.980
If we want to be with them, we need to be with them.
00:24:04.640
And that means do something differently than you would normally do.
00:24:08.120
If you normally pray for fathers, pray until you're missing the football game this Saturday.
00:24:12.720
Pray until, right, if you give charity, if you can afford $1,000, figure out how to give $2,000.
00:24:17.840
There are ways that we can be with the people of Israel at this point in time, the Americans who are still missing at this point in time,
00:24:26.000
in a way that God will know that I am willing to sacrifice in order to help share the pain.
00:24:41.520
So, Aria, that was profound and powerful, and I agree with all three.
00:24:48.440
One, the fact, my friend, that you are a rabbi, came through loud and clear when you gave the wonderful advice,
00:25:00.000
I love that advice, and that's good advice to every listener of verdict.
00:25:08.200
And you're right in terms of all of the steps of adding the voice, adding the voices of truth that are really needed powerfully right now.
00:25:19.260
You know, I want to ask you, I want to shift just as we're wrapping up, to a broader policy question.
00:25:25.780
Because you are living in Israel, you're experiencing firsthand what's happening there.
00:25:29.640
But you also have been a very senior United States official, the chief of staff to the American ambassador to Israel during one of the most consequential times in the history of Israel.
00:25:46.360
We moved the American embassy to Jerusalem, something presidents of both parties had promised, both Republican and Democrat,
00:25:53.560
and presidents of both parties had broken that promise, and yet we were able to deliver on it.
00:25:59.140
And you also were integral in a process just two and a half years ago.
00:26:05.180
We were at a moment where peace was breaking out in the Middle East.
00:26:09.620
The Abraham Accords were being signed, and we were seeing Arabs and Israelis coming together in a moment that many of us were afraid we would never see.
00:26:21.820
And it was extraordinary, and you played an important part in that process.
00:26:29.340
Three years ago, I remember standing on the south lawn of the White House for the signing of the Abraham Accords,
00:26:40.060
And now we're facing the worst war in Israel in over 50 years.
00:26:46.680
And in your judgment, as someone who was intimately involved in the policy that led to the good outcome,
00:26:56.920
what has changed to have led to this horrific state of affairs where we find ourselves today?
00:27:04.360
You know, when your phone shows you, like, images that happen on that day.
00:27:07.700
So three years ago this morning, I was in Abu Dhabi with our Secretary of the Treasury, Stephen Mnuchin,
00:27:13.420
leading the first-ever Abraham Accord business delegation to Abu Dhabi in the height of COVID,
00:27:19.480
who brought 100 Israeli business people, men and women, to meet with 100 Emirati business people,
00:27:27.660
And had it not been COVID, they would have been hugging each other.
0.99
00:27:30.460
Instead, they were doing that stupid elbow thing, which, like, was worse for people.
0.95
00:27:35.160
And just three, there was an LL flight flying from Israel to Abu Dhabi, to the United Arab Emirates,
0.98
00:27:47.900
And there were more to come had the Biden administration capitalized on that.
00:27:52.340
The answer, and I will agree with how you started the show,
00:27:55.480
thanks God for President Biden showing up to Israel.
00:27:58.400
Thank God that President Biden brought the carriers into the Mediterranean coast in order to do an act of deterrence.
00:28:05.920
I praise him, I thank him, and I think those are important.
00:28:10.560
But the three years prior to that is why we're in this position.
00:28:14.200
When you appease Iran, that is a Neville Chamberlain action.
0.99
00:28:19.440
When you fight Iran, that is a Churchill reaction.
1.00
00:28:22.860
We have given money to Iran, we've taken our foot off of their financial neck,
1.00
00:28:28.000
that the billions, the tens of billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that Iran has gotten over the last three years
00:28:34.500
were not used to rebuild their economy, their universities, their high-tech sector.
00:28:42.440
And when Biden decided that he wasn't going to use the words Abraham, of course,
00:28:48.240
that sent a message to every country that joined Israel in peace,
00:28:52.260
that we, the United States of America, do not stand with you.
00:28:58.600
And when the United States leaves a vacuum in the region, it's not filled by Costa Rica.
00:29:07.180
And the only deal that's been brokered in the last three years in the Middle East,
00:29:10.820
after we did five in 123 days, with 10 other countries ready to go,
00:29:14.840
we gave the playbook to the Biden administration.
00:29:17.800
China brokered a deal in between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
00:29:22.700
Now, why would Saudi Arabia, a chief relationship of the United States of America,
00:29:28.420
agree to a deal with their number one adversary, Iran, brokered by China?
00:29:33.840
Because they didn't trust that the United States of America would be there for them.
00:29:37.220
And our inability to be able to tell our allies, concretely, we will be with you, create a vacuum.
00:29:45.780
And when that vacuum exists, it's filled by terror.
00:29:48.440
Under the Obama administration, it was called ICE.
00:29:51.460
Under the Biden administration, it's called Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.
00:29:58.080
But it's because we are not decisive, we are not clear, and we fund this.
00:30:03.280
We fund this with our Iran deal, which we fought against.
00:30:06.100
We fund this with our hostage negotiations, which I would call ransom payments, which we fought against.
00:30:11.640
But we nonetheless have enfranchised these monstrous barbarians who direct, fund, and lead these attacks.
00:30:20.500
And we can call it Hamas, we can call it Hezbollah, but it's Iran.
