UN Recognizes Hamas run Palestine as a State plus Kamala Harris’s Book has Dems Losing their Minds · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It was a vote that is not shocking if you
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: know what's going on at the United Nations, but it
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: is certainly a move that should shock you and so
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: many in the world when it comes to Israel. One
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven of the one hundred and ninety
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: three UN member states recognize the state of Palestine as
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a quote sovereign state. That is about eighty one percent
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of all UN member states. Recently, several Western countries have
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: formally recognized Palestine. That includes France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Portugal, Belgium, Luxembourg,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Malta and Monaco. What recognition means is significant. Recognition is
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a quote bi lateral or multilateral diplomatic act. Now, it
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't automatically confer full UN membership. Palestine is currently a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: non member observer state in the UN General Assembly, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it's very clear that there are many in the world
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that want to help this terrorist state become normalized at
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the United Nations. In May of twenty twenty four, for example,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the UN General Assembly passed the resolution urging that Palestine's
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: membership be given favorable consideration by the UN Security Council. However,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: full membership requires Security Council approval, including no veto by
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: any permanent members. And then there's the broader context here.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Recognition has been gradually growing, especially amid rising international concerns
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: over the conflict in Gaza. Some countries that have not
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: previously recognized Palestine have shifted their policy. Alongside recognition, there
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have been UN General Assembly resolutions calling for a two
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: state solution and urging steps towards Palestinian statehood. For example,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: one resolution demonstrated broad support for a quote jumas free
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: government in Palestine. Well, that's probably not reality based on history,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: and if you want to look at what this really means,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it is another undermining of Israel.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It is anti Israel.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Now, I want you to hear what the president had
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: to say as he was at the UN meeting with
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: different leaders. He was actually sitting down with one of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the leaders that advocated for this state hood for Palestine.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: He was sitting with Machrome. Take a listen to what
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: he had to say.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Well, I think it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: Honors Amasa, and you can't do that because of October seventh.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: You just can't do that. But we want our hostages
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: back and we don't want to back in, you know,
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: ones and twos and take the next few years to
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: do it. We were the ones that got the hostages back,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: and I always said, I told Steve, I told Marco.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: I was always saying the lastages are going to be
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: the toughest ones. But you can't honor them by doing
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: anything like you suggest. All you could do is say,
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: we want our hostages back, and we want the war
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: to end. We're going to want it to end. But
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: you always have to remember. People forget October seventh was
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: one of the most savage days in the history of
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: the world. Has never been anything like that. We're talking
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: about babies being sliced in half. You're talking about young
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: children having their heads chopped off. You can't forget that.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: President Trump not wavering on standing against this actually happening.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Net and Yahu's reaction to statements on statehood from these
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: other countries were also very strong. He stayed explicitly quote
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: a Palestinian state will not be established now. Babe Is
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: also called any recognition of Palestine a huge reward for
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: straight up terrorism, and his reference to Hamas attacks of
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: October the seventh, he said recognition by other states after
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the of October seventh is effectively granting legitimacy to this
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: type of violence. Netnaw, who also condemned what he views
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: as the external pressure or imposition on Israel's future. He
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: accused foreign leaders of trying to impose a Palestinian state
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in the heart of our land, and he warned that
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: foreign recognitions are not just symbolic. He sees them as
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: attacks on Israel's security interests as well. Remember, Israel was
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the country that was attacked and Netnaw, who has vowed
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: retaliation to what he considers moves undermining the nation. Some
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: options being considered by the government, we're being told include
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: expelling diplomats from countries recognizing Palestine, or more dramatically, annexing
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: territories such is the West Bank. Now this also comes
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: as there is a very weird request Hamas is asking
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: for a sixty day truce. I want you to hear
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the NATO ambassador matt Whitaker, and here's what he had
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to say about so many of these countries, the UK,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Australia and Canada among them, recognizing Palestine.
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Take a listen the Matthew Whittaker Natal who says, looks
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Palestinian state, it's never going to happen. So where do
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: we go from here, mister Ambassa, Well, it's going to be.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: With you, Stuart.
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: On the Israel Palestine issue. I mean, it's just virtue
• 5:24
  Speaker 7: signaling by certain countries that you know.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: Have no solution for the situation.
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: They just want to, you know, feel like they're doing something. Obviously,
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: the hard work is happening right now. It's getting rid
• 5:35
  Speaker 7: of Hamas, the you know, the terrible terrorist organization that
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: continues to fight. And you know, Israel wants peace, they
• 5:42
  Speaker 7: want the fighting to end, they want the killing to end.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: But you know, unfortunately Hamas continues to shoot at him.
• 5:48
  Speaker 7: And you know, the only way you can respond is
• 5:50
  Speaker 7: with strength and make sure that they regret, you know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 7: continuing to fight.
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: So we'll hope that that ultimately resolves.
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: Well, so this is just coming into us this morning.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Hamas wrote a letter to President Trump requesting that he
• 6:04
  Speaker 5: guarantees a sixty day truce in Gaza. In exchange, you're
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: releasing half the hostages. You think that's gonna fly.
• 6:12
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean, I don't want to speak for President Trump,
• 6:14
  Speaker 7: but it would seem like that is kind of a
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: false compromise. You know, when only half of the what
• 6:19
  Speaker 7: he said in his very clear US policies, return all
• 6:22
  Speaker 7: the hostages and in the fighting and the until they
• 6:24
  Speaker 7: agreet to that.
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: I don't think there's much to talk about, mister master.
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: Russia unleashed, just unleashed another strike on Ukraine, six hundred
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: drones used. This is President Trump and Ukraine Zelensky plan
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: to meet this week. It seems that nothing is changing
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: in this war. And we also have this report of
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Russian jets spending twelve minutes in the space of Estonia.
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: A NATO member. Putin just keeps on pushing at one point,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: is there a very strong response.
• 6:55
  Speaker 7: Well, the key is that when the Polish incursion from
• 6:59
  Speaker 7: the drones happened, NATO immediately scrambled fighter jets, shot down
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: some of the drones, and on this Estonian incursion with
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: the jet fighters, we also scrambled F thirty five and
• 7:11
  Speaker 7: chased them out of Estonian airspace. Now, the question Stewart
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: ultimately is is that do we want to go up
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: the escalation ladder? And we're having meetings tomorrow and Brussels.
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: We're all being attendance. We're going to talk about these
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: very issues with the Supreme Allied Commander and our allies
• 7:26
  Speaker 7: and find out kind of what we need to do
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: if more. But you know, it's working. Our air policing
• 7:33
  Speaker 7: is working, is what I'm going.
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: To tell you.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: But it seems like Putin is just pushing us around.
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: Well, he can't push us around.
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: He's barely making any gains in Ukraine on the ground there.
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: You know, the bottom line is we need strong responses,
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: but at the same time, I think we need to
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: be stronger. It's what happened coming out of the Hague Summit.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Everyone's agreeing to spend more money. We are ramping up
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: our militaries where you know, people are buying F thirty
• 7:57
  Speaker 7: five fighter jets, upgrading their technical NATO's getting stronger by
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: the day, and you'll see continuing responses that show strength,
• 8:05
  Speaker 7: and that strength is ultimately what's going to guarantee the peace.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: You listen to Whitaker there and it's very clear that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: he and President Trump and the rest of his team
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: are on the same page, whether it is the statehood
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: issue at Palestine or what's going on right now when
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it comes to Russia and what is happening there. Donald
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Trump also had another big warning at the United Nations
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and it was about funding, as he described it, the
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: assault on Western countries and their borders.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: He said this to all of those in attendance.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Not only is the UN not solving the problems it should,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: too often, it's actually creating new problems.
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: For us to solve.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: The best example is the number one political issue of
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: our time, the crisis of uncontrolled migration. It's uncontrolled.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: The countries are being ruined.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: The United Nations is funding an assault on Western countries
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: and their borders. In twenty twenty four, the UN budgeted
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: three hundred and seventy two million dollars in cash assistance
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: to support an estimated six hundred and twenty four thousand
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: migrants journeying into the United States. Think of that, the
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: UN is supporting people that are illegally coming into the
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: United States and then we have to get them out.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: The UN also provided food, shelter, transportation, and debit cards
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: to illegal aliens. Can you believe that on the way
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to infiltrate our southern border? Millions of people came through
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: that southern border just a year ago. Millions and millions
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of people were pouring in twenty five million altogether. Over
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: the four years of the incompetent Biden administration, and now
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: we have it stopped, totally stopped. In fact, they're not
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: even coming anymore because they know they can't get.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Through President Trump giving that war to the world. So
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it is clear the President is not done talking to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: foreign nations and doing everything that he can to make
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: sure that this onslaught of a legal immigration coming into
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: southern countries is something he's put in the world un notice.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: We're not putting up with it anymore, President Donald Trump
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: responding now to the guilty verdict against Ryan Ruth. The
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: President asked about it as he was in New York
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: at the United Nations. Now, before I let you hear
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: what he had to say, let me give you some
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of the background.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: The charges were federal charges.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: There were multiple counts, including attempted assassination of a major
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: presidential candidate. At the time, it was Donald Trump assaulting
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a federal officer, a Secret Service agent, possessing a firearm
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in furtherance of a crime of violence, being a convicted
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: felon in possession of a firearm, and possession of a
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: firearm with the serial number removed. Those were all of
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: the major crimes he was charged with. Now You've got
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: to go back to September the fifteenth last year when
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: the Ruthers found in the shrubbery with a semi automatic
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: rifle near Trump's West Palm Beach golf Course, mar Lago,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: and Trump was there golfing at the time. He had
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: done surveillance, had burner phones. He was spotted by a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Secret Service agent. He fled, and then he was later arrested. Now,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the defense stance was number one weird. He literally represented
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: himself at trial. He argued inclosing that he didn't intend
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: to kill anyone and that no shots were ever fired.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Why well, because they saw him and he decided to run. Now,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: his alibi there didn't work with the jury. He's now
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: been found guilty. Jury deliberation time was actually less than
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: three hours. Some sources say it was about two and
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: a half hours, and the outcome was this.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: He was found guilty on all federal charges.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: The sentencing will now be second stage of this and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: he faces life in prison. The sentencing is now scheduled
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: on December the eighth. Now that is when things got
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: crazy after he was found guilty. Immediately after the verdict
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: was read, then ruth the attempted to stab himself in
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: the neck with a pen. He was quickly restrained by
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the US Marshals. He appeared uninjured afterwards, with no visible blood.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: The Associated Press reported his daughter was present and reacted
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: emotionally in the courtroom, calling out to him. Now there's
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: also another big part of the story. The President has
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: now responded, and I want you to listen carefully to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: what he had to say at the United Nations.
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: Mister President Ryan Ruth, the man who tried to assassinate
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: you has been convicted and found guilty.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: What is your response to you.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: I'm very appreciative of the justice that was given and
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: the way it was handled by Pam Bondy and Todd
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Blanche and everybody that has been had their team of people.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: It was really well handled, and it's very important. You
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: can't let things like that happen, nothing to do with me,
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: but a president or even a person. You can't allow
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: that to happen. And so justice was served and we'll
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: see what happens. But I very much appreciate the judge,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: a jury and everybody on that it was so professionally
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: handled and it's great honor.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: You also noticed that the President did not either a no,
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: or was not asked about the attempted suicide. And let
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: me get back to that part of the story that
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: happened after the jurors exit the courtroom, and that's when
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: the ruth attempt to stab himself in the neck with
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: the pen, prompting those marshals to drag him out of
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: the courthouse. The outlet also reported that his daughter screamed, Dad,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I love you. Don't do anything. I'll get you out.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: He didn't hurt anybody. She also continued to yell now,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned a moment ago. He is convicted of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: attempting to assassinate a major political candidate presidential candidate, possessing
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: a federal officer, possessing a firearm and ammunition as a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: convicted felon, and possessing a firearm without a serial number
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: that was scratched off. He is fifty nine and he
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: did not testify at his trial. In his closing argument, however,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: he told the jurors he didn't intend to kill anyone
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: that day. He rests his case Monday morning, after questioning
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: just three witnesses, a firearm expert and two character witnesses
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that all coming from the Associated Press. The jury clearly
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't buying what he was trying to sell, and now
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: we know the outcome. Now you can also expect an appeal.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I am sure that is something that will be discussed,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: and maybe next time he'll actually have legal representation in
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the court room. But as of now, the President of
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the United States of America, as he put it, said,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: this is something we had to make sure happened, not
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for me, but for every political candidate, every presidential candidate.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: I want to stop having this type of violence in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: this country. I want to talk to you about my
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: friends over at Patriot Mobile. You've got a lot of
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: choices for cell phone service, with new ones popping up
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: all the time. But if you want to make a
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: difference and you want to stop giving your money to
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: liberal companies, well one way you can do that is
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: by getting rid of Liberal Mobile you probably have right now.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: That is where hundreds of thousands of Americans are now
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: coming together and have made Patriot Mobile what they are today.
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: They've been in service now for thirteen years, and right
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: now is the best time ever to switch because it's
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: never been easier now before I tell you about that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: I want you to know why switching is so important,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: because every time you make a call, every time you
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: send a text, and every time that you pay your bill,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: you're actually standing up for the values you believe in
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: your First and your Second Amendment rights, the rights of
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: unborn children. And you stand with our military, our veterans,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: are wounded warriors, and our fallen soldier families. Because Patriot
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Mobile takes about five percent of your bill every month
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: at no extra cost to you, and they give it
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: back to these organizations that fight for our values. Now,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: let's talk about switching. It has never been easier. You
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: can keep your same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile's got a one hundred percent US based customer
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: service team and literally they can now with technology, get
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: you activated in minutes from the comfort of your home
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: or your office. You're second a contractor owe money on
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: your phones, no worries. Patriot Mobile has a contract buyout program.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: And this is how we win, folks, by aligning our
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: spinning with our values. Every dollar we spend matters. Now,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: let me also give you a free month of service.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Go to Patriotmobile dot com, slash Ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson, or you can call them nine
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code ferguson,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna get one month free service by switching today.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So again, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson, use the promo
• 17:03

• 17:06
  Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven to
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: two Patriot. Which brings me to another important story that
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: is also coming to some sort of resolution. Secret Service
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: is now announcing that they have busted a massive network
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that has been used in swatting attacks against Republicans. Now,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: if you don't know what swatting is, I'll explain it
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: this way. It's where you call in a fake crisis situation,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: a fake hostage situation to the address of where a
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: conservative lives, specifically an elected official or conservative commentator, to
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: then put their life at risk with a massive response,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: a swat team is sent in. The Secret Service has
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: now announced they have uncovered this vast network of over
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: one hundred thousand simcards and three hundred servers as well.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: In the new York area, believed to be used by
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: foreign nation state threat actors and criminals for swatting calls
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: targeting prominent conservatives, including Marjorally Taylor Green. The amount of
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: hardware sees in the bus could be used, they say,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: to Hamper Sell Service in New York City and the U. S.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Secret Service, uncovering this massive network of more than one
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: hundred thousand SIM cards and three hundred servers was located
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: within a thirty five mile radius of New York City.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: The operation, believed to be run by foreign nation state
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: threat actors and criminals, was uncovered during an investigation to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: a surge of swatting calls targeting high ranking government officials,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: including members of Congress and members of the Trump administration.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Now targets of swatting calls reportedly included Representative Green, Center
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Rick Scott, Nikki Hayley, and the Secret Services Advanced Threat Unit,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: in collaboration with various law enforcement ages, trace those squatting
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: calls to several locations in the New York tri state area.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Upon further investigation, they found a sophisticated network of SIM
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: servers capable of generating enormous amounts of phone traffic while
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: rapidly switching out simcards to evade detection. I want you
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: to take a listen to Matt McCool. He is a
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Special Agent in charge of the Secret Services New York
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Field Office, and the network, as he described it, posed
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: an imminent threat to the agency's protective operations. They said
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: the servers were strategically positioned around New York cellular network
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: infrastructure so that it could overwhelm the cell towers, disrupt
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: cell service, and put the entire city of New York
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: at risk. Take a listen in his announcement today.
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: My name is Matt McCool, and I'm the Special Agent
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: in charge of the Secret Service New York Field Office.
• 19:57
  Speaker 10: We are making this announcement as a matter of public interest,
• 20:00
  Speaker 10: given timing, amount and concentration of material recovered during a
• 20:05
  Speaker 10: recent Secret Service protective intelligence investigation. Following multiple telecommunications related
• 20:11
  Speaker 10: imminent threats directed towards senior US government officials this spring,
• 20:16
  Speaker 10: the U S Secret Service began a protective intelligence investigation
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: to determine the extent and impact these threats could have
• 20:22
  Speaker 10: on protective operations. This was a difficult and complex effort
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: to identify the source of these fraudulent calls and the
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: impact on the Secret Service Protective mission. During this period,
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: we leveraged technical assistance and support of federal partners, including
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: Homeland Security investigations, the Department of Justice, and the Office
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: of the Director of National Intelligence. We also received phenomenal
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: support from our state and local law enforcement partners, to
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: include the NYPD. The investigation led us to the New
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: York tri state area, where investigators discovered tens of thousands
• 20:57
  Speaker 10: of co located and network sailor devices capable of carrying
• 21:01
  Speaker 10: out nefarious telecommunications attacks. These devices allowed anonymous, encrypted communications
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: between potential threat actors and criminal enterprises, enabling criminal organizations
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: to operate undetected. This network had the potential to disable
• 21:17
  Speaker 10: cell phone towers and essentially shut down the cellular network
• 21:20
  Speaker 10: in New York City. These devices were concentrated within thirty
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: five miles of the global meeting of the United Nations
• 21:27
  Speaker 10: General Assembly, now underway in New York City. Given the timing,
• 21:32
  Speaker 10: location and proximity, and potential for significant disruptions to the
• 21:36
  Speaker 10: New York telecom system, we moved quickly to disrupt this network.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: To be clear, these recovered devices no longer pose a
• 21:44
  Speaker 10: threat to the New York tri state area. We will
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: continue working towards identifying those responsible in their intent, including
• 21:51
  Speaker 10: whether their plan was to disrupt the UN General Assembly
• 21:55
  Speaker 10: and communications of government and emergency personnel during the official
• 21:59
  Speaker 10: visit of world leaders in and around New York City.
• 22:02
  Speaker 10: Forensic examinations of the equivalent of one hundred thousand cell
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: phones worth of data is underway. Early analysis indicates cellular
• 22:10
  Speaker 10: communications between foreign actors and individuals that are known to
• 22:14
  Speaker 10: federal law enforcement. Given the sensitivity and complexity of this investigation,
• 22:19
  Speaker 10: we are not able to go into specifics at this time.
• 22:23
  Speaker 10: This is an open and active investigation and we have
• 22:25
  Speaker 10: no arrest to announce today. Rather, this announcement is designed
• 22:29
  Speaker 10: to safeguard critical infrastructure and responsibly provide the public what
• 22:33
  Speaker 10: we can at this time. The Secret Service will continue
• 22:36
  Speaker 10: to run down all leads until we fully understand the
• 22:39
  Speaker 10: intent of the operation and identify those responsible.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Truly incredible there from Matt McCool, the Special Agent in
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: charge of the Secret Service in New York's Field office.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: The pictures that have been released of these rooms that
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: have been filled with these servers and the SIM cards,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: and to overrun the cell towers was a level of
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: sophistiction that is of professionals. This is not amateur and
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: part of the reason why I think they're making it
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: so clear how big of an issue this was and
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: what was happening. Let's talk a moment also about Kamala Harris.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: She's got her new book out where she is blaming
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: everyone but herself for her losing the last election. She's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: ripping on virtually every person that ever gave her anything
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: in life, especially the vice presidency from Joe Biden. She's
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: attacking the Biden crime family, and she's also attacking many
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: other Democrats as well.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: And then there's this part that was just amazing.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: She is now saying that she wanted to pick a
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: gay man to be your vice president, but she just
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: couldn't bring herself to do it because well, the people
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't accept a black woman and then a gay white man.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: She also said she couldn't pick another guy on the
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: ticket as well. I'll explain that in a moment why
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that person was also disqualified. Hint, it's because he was Jewish.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: But I want you to listen to what she had
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to say trying to defend her bigotry and her homophobia
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: of all places, with Rachel Maddout at MSNBC take a
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: listen on.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: Let me ask you a politics question. I mentioned an
• 24:18
  Speaker 11: intro tonight that you say in the book really bluntly
• 24:20
  Speaker 11: that your personal choice for your running mate would have
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: been Pete Booda Jete, and you praise him effusively. You
• 24:27
  Speaker 11: say he would have been an ideal partner if I
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: were a straight man, and you say effectively that demographically
• 24:34
  Speaker 11: it was it was too much to ask of the
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: American people to ask them to elect you with him
• 24:40
  Speaker 11: as your running mate. I wonder if his reaction to that,
• 24:44
  Speaker 11: since this part of the book has come out, if
• 24:46
  Speaker 11: you've had any reflection on that, or I guess, I
• 24:51
  Speaker 11: guess I'd ask you to just elaborate on that a
• 24:54
  Speaker 11: little bit. It's hard to hear with you running as
• 24:58
  Speaker 11: you know, you're the first woman elected vice president, you're
• 25:00
  Speaker 11: a black woman and a South Asian woman elected that
• 25:03
  Speaker 11: high office, very nearly elected president, to say that he
• 25:06
  Speaker 11: couldn't be on the ticket effectively because he was gay,
• 25:08
  Speaker 11: it's hard to hear.
• 25:09
  Speaker 8: No, No, that's not what I said that. That's that
• 25:12
  Speaker 8: he couldn't be on the ticket because he is gay.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: My point, as I write in the book, is that
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: I was clear that in one hundred and seven days,
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: in one of the most hotly contested elections for president
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: United States against someone by Donald Trump, who knows no
• 25:34
  Speaker 8: floor to be a black woman running for president United
• 25:39
  Speaker 8: States and as a vice presidential running mate a gay man,
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: with the stakes being so high, it made me very sad.
• 25:51
  Speaker 8: But I also realized it would be a real risk
• 25:57
  Speaker 8: no matter how you know. I've been an ad a
• 26:00
  Speaker 8: kid in an ally of of the LGBT community my
• 26:03
  Speaker 8: entire life. So it wasn't about it wasn't about it right,
• 26:06
  Speaker 8: So it wasn't about any any prejudice on my part,
• 26:09
  Speaker 8: but that we had such a short we had such
• 26:13
  Speaker 8: a short period of time and the stakes were so high.
• 26:19
  Speaker 8: I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant, and
• 26:26
  Speaker 8: I think America is.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And would be ready for that.
• 26:33
  Speaker 8: But at when I had to make that decision with
• 26:36
  Speaker 8: two weeks to go, you know, and maybe I was
• 26:40
  Speaker 8: being too cautious, you know, I'll let our friends, we
• 26:44
  Speaker 8: should all.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Talk about that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 8: Maybe I was, but that's the decision I made, and
• 26:50
  Speaker 8: I'm and I as with everything else in the book,
• 26:52
  Speaker 8: and being very candid about that with a great deal
• 26:57
  Speaker 8: of sadness about also the fact that it might have
• 27:02
  Speaker 8: been a rip. Now.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: She also said she didn't pick Shapiro to be her
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: vice presidential candidate because he was Jewish, and well, I mean,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: you just can't have a Jewish guy being the vice
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: presidential candidate.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: She ripped on him as well.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I said this earlier today on Fox Business Channel and
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: it's gone viral, so I want to play it for you.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Listen to what I had to say on also Harris
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: attacking Donald Trump, saying that Donald Trump is a communist dictator.
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 27:32
  Speaker 9: Now, let's get your reaction to this whopper from Karl Harris.
• 27:37
  Speaker 8: The sitting vice president enters the race against a former
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: president of the United States, has been running for ten years,
• 27:44
  Speaker 8: with one hundred and seven days to go, and it
• 27:47
  Speaker 8: ended up being the closest presidential election in the twenty
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: first century. We used to compare the strength of our
• 27:54
  Speaker 8: democracy to communist dictators. That's what we're dealing with right now,
• 27:58
  Speaker 8: Donald Trump.
• 27:59
  Speaker 9: What does she talking about? The closest race in the
• 28:02
  Speaker 9: twenty first century? Show the US electro math from last year,
• 28:05
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris lost eighty three percent of all US counties.
• 28:08
  Speaker 9: So Trump Trump won both the popular vote the electoral college,
• 28:12
  Speaker 9: plus all the swing states. And she claims Trump is
• 28:15
  Speaker 9: a communist dictator.
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: What's that about.
• 28:17
  Speaker 9: Kamala Harris now says she supports an actual communist Zora Mamdani.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, do as I say, now as I do.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: And remember it's never my fault. This is Kamala Harrison.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: This is the problem with the Democratic Party. When they lose,
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: they don't learn anything. There was a lot, by the
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: way to learn this last election. There was a lot
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: to learn from Donald Trump losing and then coming back
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: and winning. And they should have done a deep dive, like, hey,
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: what is our problem right now? Is it the extremist
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: that Marxist in our party or is it just we
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: have bad leaders?
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: At the end of the day, Kamala Harris lost.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: Because of this type of rhetoric and she doesn't know
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: what she's talking about.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: And the voters agreed.
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: Yeah, and didn't Kamala Harris's father and people to Judge's father,
• 28:59
  Speaker 9: didn't they teach at Marxism just like Sirah mom, Donnie all.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Right then yeah, I mean you listen to it there
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and I got to say, this is the reason why
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the Democratic Party is in shambles. They are in shambles
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: because they actually are filled with people that hate other
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: people that aren't like them, and they want to demand
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that you be just like what they say is acceptable
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: or right. And when they have an opportunity, remember they're
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the advocates for the LGBTQIA community, and
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: when they have a chance to pick a gay man,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: they're like, Nope, can't do it. Why because it's a
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: gay man. And they talk about you know, oh, be
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: who you are and we stand by you and don't
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: be a racist or a bigot. They got a chance
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: to pick a guy and they're like, Nope, can't pick him.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Why because he's Jewish. This is the Democratic Party, this
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: is what they are. This is who they are. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: when they show themselves like this the way that Kama
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: did in her book, where she was telling you the
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: truth and then when she tries to take it back
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: and acthlete, it's not actually happening. I'm sorry. I just
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: got to say, we need to call them out every
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: single time it happens. Make sure you share this podcast
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: with your family and friends. Put it up on social
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: media wherever you are, and we appreciate you listening every day.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: We'll see you back here tomorrow
