DEFUND the UN, if they Try to Throw Israel Out, plus FBI Caught Putting out Fake Crime Numbers · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: you and Senator there has been a lot that has
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: happened coming out of Israel, a lot with terrorists that
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: are dying, thank goodness video that has been leaked after
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: they killed the mastermind behind the October seventh attack. But
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: then we also found out some pretty shocking news. Let's
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: start with that.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Well, the Palestinian authority is pushing an effort at the
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: United Nations to expel Israel from the General Assembly. It
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: is in many ways unsurprising. But what sadly is also
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: unsurprising is the Biden Harris administration is doing little to
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: nothing to fight it. And so I have called for
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: the Biden Harris administration actually stand up for Israel, and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I've made clear that if they don't, that if the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: UN actually expels Israel from the General Assembly, that the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: United States should halt all funding from America to the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: United Nations, that we should use the stick we have
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: not to let the radical Semites at the UN punish
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Israel for being the victims of October seventh and for
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: being victorious defeating the leadership of Hamas and Hesbala We're
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: going to break that down in greater detail. We're also
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: going to talk about the FBI magically, quietly, stealthily editing
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: the crime statistics. You know, the FBI had put out
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: stats that said crime had dropped under Joe Biden and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, and the Democrats in the corporate media were
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: gleefully repeating that the one minor detail is it was
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: a lie. It was false. Crime has risen dramatically and
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: very quietly. The FBI was forced to edit those stats
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: to recognize the obvious truth. We're going to break that
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: down as well.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, people, remember they fact checked Donald Trump on those issues,
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: and that didn't go over very well. Now that you
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: look at the new numbers, guess what they were right
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: and everybody else in the media was lying to you.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you real quick about AMO squared. It
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: ensures that you have AMO there when you need it.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: It's an automated approach to purchasing Ammo on any budget
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: at phenomenal prices. You get to pick your caliber, set
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: your budget, and select a shipping trigger and bam, that's it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: It's basically like a four oh one K for Ammo. Now,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: if you dealt with AMO shortages like I did during COVID,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you probably have the same thought I did. I'm never
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: gonna have to deal with that again, and I'm not
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: going to pay five six, seven, eight x what a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: box of AMO costs now later on because everybody's running
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to buy it. Well, your AMMO with AMO Squared grows
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: slowly over time and is stored for free as it
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: builds up, and its shipped with a click of the button.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Are automatically on your schedule. Now, unlike a traditional subscription service,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you aren't forced into a set budget or a monthly shipment.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You decide your budget, You can change it any time
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and schedule when you want your AMO to arrive. AMO
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Squared has more than seventy different caliber options allow the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: hard to find ones they have. And if you store
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: up a bunch of one caliber and then you switch
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: guns and you want to get rid of that, am
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: not a problem. You can switch it out for another one,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: sell it back, and if prices have gone up, you
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: can even make money. Now what happens if a big
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: shortage happens again, Well, all your AMMO you can use
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: like a four to one k sell it back bam.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: You can make a big profit, no minimum to buy,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: no membership needed, and no extra fees. You buy Ammo
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: on a small budget and then watch it grow. Sign
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: up and I'm gonna give you some FREEMO on your
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: account ammosquared dot com slash Ben. That's ammo squared dot
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: com slash ben. To get free AMO in your account today,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: amosquared dot com slash Ben.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Now Ben. Before we get started on the un story,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: I got to ask a very very important question. You
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: ever worked at McDonald's.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it's funny. I have never worked at McDonald's,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: but I have started my own restaurant, which felt very
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: much like working at McDonald's.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: Well, now, as a teenager, did you ever flip burgers?
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Did you work at the restaurant? Where'd you work? Where'd
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you work?
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: So?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I worked in a snack shop by the tennis courts,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: and so I cooked.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I'm not kidding, probably.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Thousands of burghers and probably thousands of pounds of French
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: fries and chicken fingers in my day.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: So Ben, how do we know you're not lying? Apparently
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: one can be a leading candidate for president of the United
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: States just make up working at McDonald's and the media
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: has utterly no interest in whether you're lying or not.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there, well one, I have people that actually work
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: there with me, and usually when you work in a restaurant,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you're in a pretty tight group, especially if you're younger too.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: There's pictures I'm sure.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Out there that someone's got of me actually cooking and yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: so it's not hard to prove it, that's for sure.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: But of course Kamala Harris claims to have worked at McDonald's,
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: but there's no indication whatsoever that is that is the truth.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I got to say, I thought it was freaking hysterical
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: that Donald Trump went to McDonald the image of him
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: wearing a McDonald's apron, like at the drive through window.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Can you imagine if you went to get a big
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Mac and you pull up and there is Donald Trump
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: at the window. I mean, seriously, how would you react
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: if you saw Trump just at the drive through window
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: with your big Mac?
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you would. You would lose it, Like
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: you would be like, are you kidding me? Is this
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: real life? Is this actually happening? And the best part,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. If you saw some of the memes,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: they were hysterical. One of them today that really made
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: me laugh. It said, imagine it's a picture of him
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: at the drive through window with his apron on out
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the window waving. It says, imagine, if that's the last
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: thing in illegal aliencies before they're.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Deported, that's pretty strong, I gotta say, though. It does
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: illustrate the complete moral bankruptcy of the media that it
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: takes Trump, you know, doing what was clearly a stunt,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: and a pretty funny stunt. I mean, the media is
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: mocking him for it, which which I mean, look, they
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: could acknowledge it is pretty charming and pretty funny to do.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: But it has a more serious point, which which is
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: that Kamala Harris has told multiple falsehoods over and over
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: and over again, and the corporate media covers up and
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: in fact repeats and amplifies the falsehoods.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It's also one of those moments and as I watched
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: this and I'm like, the media still didn't get it,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: which really made me laugh. And that is Donald Trump
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: wasn't doing this for a publicity stunt.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump was doing it's quite a bit of publicity.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Have you have you noticed that?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: One hundred percent? But on my of thing, because they're like, oh,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: it's a pilosity s. I'm like, no, it's not. You
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: don't even like it. I don't. I don't think you're
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: that stupid. I'm referring to the media. It's not a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: blizzy stunt.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: He's showing the hypocrisy of what it takes for a
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: conservative candidate to actually get the media to even report
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: on the actual issue, which is Kama Harris a lot
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: about working at McDonald's.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: So in my experience, and I do this a lot
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: like what I'm doing at town hall, I will often
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: ask people how many of y'all ever worked in a restaurant?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: And inevitably any town hall you're doing, half the people
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: their hands will go up, and particularly as teenagers, that
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: you work at it at a Donald's or Jack in
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: the Box or Taco Bell, or you work as a
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: waiter a waitress at a restaurant. And then my experienced
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: teenagers either did that or they mowed lawns. So when
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I was a teenager, I mowed lawns and I like
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: to being outside. So I figured, U, right, if I
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: got to make some money, you know, I can be
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: out out in the sun and you know, be in
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: shorts and a T shirts instead of going in and
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: flipping burgers. But you know, mow and lawns was a
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: good business when you were fourteen fifteen years old.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna laugh. I had a lawn business when
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I was I think I was seven, six or seven.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: And this is what we're missing in this country. My
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: parents said, if you want money, then you better learn
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: how to make it. And my lawn business was called
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: you grow it, We mow it very nice, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: had a monopoly on that neighborhood in like ninety days.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Well, and look to be fair, Kamala Harris said the
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: same thing. She has a manure business where she spreads
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: large quantities of manure. All right, let's get to our story.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I like it.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Any more of the story is I'm just proud of
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: on Trump patrolling the media on this.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: It's awesome.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: That image maybe the funniest thing I've seen and months
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: just the I really do wish, you know, I have
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: to be It wasn't the same thing, but I h
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: a couple of years ago I was down at our
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: southern border. I was at a checkpoint, but it wasn't
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: like an illegal crossing checkpoint. It was eighteen wheelers that
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: are coming across and they come through it. So it's
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a heavy commercial traffic checkpoint. And I just went like
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: in the booth with the Border patrol agent, and I
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: got to say that the looks as truck drivers pull
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: in and they're expecting, okay, I'm gonna get checked now,
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and then they look over and see me, and they're
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: double takes. They're absolute double takes. And I actually conducted
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: an informal poll, so just about everyone raised a finger
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: to me. I will say I was very happy at
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the finger ratio because I would say it was about
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: twenty percent the middle finger and about eighty percent of
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: thumbs up. So I liked eighty twenty among the truck
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: drivers coming in. It was a pretty pretty good ratio.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: But it was like it was a real time poll
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: and just about everyone, look, I'm obviously I'm not Trump,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: but you still got like weird double takes, like what
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: in the hell is Cruse doing here? And I'm sure
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I really wish I haven't seen if they got pictures
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: of like people in the cars, but but I am
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: sure they were absolutely sure.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: The videos that came through, just because this is too
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: good to pass out. It was incredible to watch the
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: reactions and the people that were so happy and proud
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: to say I support you and like and a lot
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: of them were people that you could tell it was
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: very sincere moments for them and they were so happy
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: to see him. And I said on my National show
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Sunday night, I was like, this is why we need
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: to stop being afraid to just be honest that we're
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in favor of conservatives and our candidates, because I do
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: believe we are the silent majority at this point. Just
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: do like I have gotten the point now where I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: either wearing a hat with your name on it or
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: a hat with Trump's name on it because of election.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: But I thought I was going to get a lot
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: more people that were angry. I can't tell you the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: number of people that walk up to me now when
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I wear the hats and they're like.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Dude, I love your hat. Dude, I love your hat.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Do I love your hat? Dude? I love your hat.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I got to get one of those hats. I need
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: to wear that hat too.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: And I think if we all just like picked a
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: random Tuesday and said wear your favorite political hat, we
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: would be shocked how many conservatives are among us each
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: and every day but we're so afraid now because they've
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: been towing us forever. You can't do that. You got
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: to be quiet, sit down, shut up, be quiet. You're
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: big at your racist the name calling. I think we
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: are the silent majority and we need to become a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: loud majority.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Well let me Actually, I'm going to prove that you're right,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: because the basic dynamic nationally with elections is conservatives win
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: when we effectively articulate what we believe, and liberals win
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: when they effectively obvious gate when they effectively hide what
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: they believe. Take a look at Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: is not running a campaign saying I'm for open borders.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of letting in eleven and a half million
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: illegal immigrants. I'm proud of voting to defund the police.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of raising bail money to bail out violent
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: rioters who rioted in Minneapolis. I'm proud of massive taxes.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: I'm proud of attacking oil and gas and driving up
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: the cost of gasoline. I'm proud of undermining Israel and
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: sending one hundred billion dollars to I ran. Like that's
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: her actual record, and yet she denies all of it.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: You look at her ad, She's literally running ads with
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: aerial footage of Trump's border wall. She's pretending her record
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: is Trump and by the way, what's Trump doing? Try
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: to tell everyone his record in her record and that
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: dynamic is true. The reason for that, I believe is
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: this is fundamentally a center right country, and Kamal and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: her team knows her policies are wildly unpopular. If they
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: thought the country agreed with this garbage, they wouldn't lie
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: about it, if they'd admit it and be proud of it.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're absolutely right, which brings us to this next story,
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: and it's one where there's a lot of silence right now.
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: I mean a significant amount of silence that deals with
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: the UN. Catch everybody up to date on this one,
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: because it's really important.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: So, the Palestinian Authority is working to expel Israel from
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: the United Nations General Assembly, And so I've drafted a
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: letter that I've sham right now in the process of
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: getting other senators to signed that I'm going to send
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: both to the UN Ambassador Lynda Thomas Greenfield and the
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Secretary of State Tony Blinkett. I'm going to send it
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: in this next week, And the letter lays out the
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: consequences of such an action. In other words, what happens
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: if the UN actually expels Israel, and if they do that,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: what I lay out is is effect Here I'll quote
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: from the letter quote the effort to diplomatically isolate Israel
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: is aimed at ultimately destroying the Jewish state, which is
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: both obscene and antithetical to American national secure the interest.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: If Israel is suspended from the UN General Assembly, we
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: will move to limit American participation in funding across the UN,
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: including UN programs, funds, and other entities and bodies, as
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: well as its specialized agencies and related organizations, both those
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: in which the PLO participates and generally and look. I
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: also point out that if the Palestinian Authorities Authority is
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: successful in this, it would violate the Oslo Accords, an
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: agreement that the PA signed onto, and so the letter
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: notes quote Those agreements committed the Palestinians not to internationalize
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: their conflict with Israel outside the contours of bilateral negotiations,
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: which the United States has traditionally mediated. The proposal by
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: President Obas to suspend Israel from the UN General Assembly
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: would straightforwardly violate and fundamentally abrogate those commitments, in turn
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: requiring a comprehensive reevaluation of the US Palestine relationship. We
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: would pursue such a reevaluation, which would minimally include downgrading
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: cooperation with the PA, ending assistance to the West Bank
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: and Gaza, terminating all Palestinian related offices across the US government,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: including the Palestinian Facing Consulate and the Office of Palestinian Affairs,
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and broadly curtailing diplomatic, economic, and security engagements between American
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: and Palestinian officials. And it goes on to make clear
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: that we will reimpose anti terrorism sanctions on the Palestinian
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Liberation Organization in the Palestinian Authority that are currently quote
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: vitiated by licenses and waivers and are primarily limited to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: American's ability to assist those groups should should the PLO
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: move to suspend Israel from the UN General Assembly, we
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: will seek to ensure that those licenses and waivers are ended,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: and to expand American anti terrorisms to include third parties.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So you look at this, and I think there's gonna
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: be some shocked by people that are listening there's gonna
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: be some anger, and there's gonna be some Why the
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: hell are we still involved with the UN? Why do
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: they have so much power? Why do we even entertain
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: them when this is what's going on at the United Nations.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: I think all of those points are pretty fair feelings
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: to have.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: Am I wrong?
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: You're not? And look, one of the main reasons to
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: stay in the UN. Listen as I campaign across Texas
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: and across the country, I frequently get questions about why
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: don't we just pull out of the UN? And I
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: understand the UN is fundamentally corrupt. It is filled with
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: anti Semites, it is filled with viciously anti American organizations, UNRA,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: it was infiltrated by Hamas and actively assisting Hamas andre
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: As the Palestinian Aid organization within the United Nations. But
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: the answer that I frequently give it is important. I
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: believe for us to stay in the UN, among other things,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: to defend Israel, that that Israel without America would be persecuted.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: There was so much anti Semitism, so much hatred of Israel,
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: that without the US and the UN, it would be
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: completely unchecked. Now, if Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: roll over and do nothing to stop it. Then that
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: I got to say, the justification for remaining in the
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: UN very rapidly disappears.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Part of us being in the UN.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: And this goes back to a debate that we had, gosh,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: I want to say it was in sixteen and seventeen,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: is why are we such big funders of the UN,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: especially with the unrecorruption and the other corruption that you
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just mentioned. O. Look, I'm fine being in the UN
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: and having a voice and kind of being able to
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: just watch what the other countries are doing, But why
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: are we giving so much of our taxpayer dollars to them?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Like other countries aren't doing it, So why do we
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: do it?
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: Look, there's no debt that we're taking advantage of, and
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: the UN agreements are based on the size of the economies,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: and because we have the largest economy in the world,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: they charge us the most money. But we happily go
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: along with that. And I could imagine that being justified
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: if we were using our leverage to significantly advance American
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: interest and to protect our allies. If we're not, and
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: here's the problem. Let's go back to the end of
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the Barack Obama administration. At the very end of the
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama administration, after Trump won in sixteen, the Obama
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: administration pushed a resolution called UN Resolution two three three
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: four that was adopted on December twenty third, twenty sixteen.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Resolution two three three four was viciously anti Israel and
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: viciously anti Semitic. It condemned the modern state of Israel
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the West Bank
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the Jewish Quarter
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: of Jerusalem as illegitimate and illegally occupied. It condemned the
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Wailing Wall of Solomon's Temple as illegitimate and illegally occupied.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: And it was wildly anti Israel. And what happened. Number one,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: the Obama administration waited till after the election. They didn't
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: want people to know they were doing this to Israel.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: And then number two, what they did is quietly orchestrated
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: behind the scenes and then simply not veto it. Because
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: the United States is on the Security Council, the United
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: States could have vetoed it, but Obama did not. And
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: the consequence of that was that the UN at the
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: behest of the apparatics in the Obama Biden administration attacked Israel,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: and that's what's going on here as well, and it's
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: why I'm circulating a letter to the Biden Harris administration
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: to make Claire. Look, I think we're going to win
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a Republican majority in the Senate and we're going to
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: stand up. They're going to be very real consequences to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: the UN if they do this. I want to point
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: out also, the strategy that I'm laying out is actually
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: exactly what Ronald Reagan did. So the last time the
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: PLO tried to expel Israel from the United Nations General Assembly,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: Reagan declared, quote, if Israel is ever forced to leave
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: the United Nations, the United States and Israel will leave together.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: That is absolutely right. Reagan was right. I believe if
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: it happens under Trump, I believe Trump would pull us
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: out of the UN. And I think if the UN
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: understands those are the real consequences, they won't throw Israel out.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: But I think Kamala Harris is quietly pushing this behind
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: the scenes, because this White House has been the most
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: anti Israel White House we have ever seen.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it in Reagan policies you mentioned
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: is a brilliant and simple one. Go ahead, kick them out.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Watch how fast America leaves. That's how you're supposed to
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: stand up for an ally. It's what a simple idea,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: right like an I wish this White House.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Would understand that at some point.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Well you got to understand. You got to understand why
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: they don't do that. They agree with the Palestinian authority.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: They agree with the enemies of Israel. Look on October seventh,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: when the attack was happening, the Biden State Department that night,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: at three in the morning tweeted out from the Office
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: of Palestinian Affairs, there must be no military response. Israel
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: should not retaliate for twelve hundred citizens being murdered, twelve
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: hundred civilians being murdered, for women and little girls being raped,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: for over two hundred hostages being taken. It was ridiculous.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: And you'll recall my team and I we spotted that
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: at three in the morning. I tweeted immediately after it,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I said, this disgraceful. Whoever wrote this should be fired,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: and within minutes they deleted it. By the way, it
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: wasn't just an aberration it wasn't just some lone anti
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Semite in the administration, because the next day Tony Blink
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and the Secretary of State on October eighth, a year ago,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: tweeted essentially the same thing. He said he'd just spoken
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: with a Turkish foreign minister and they both agreed, Israel
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: must not retaliate. There should be no military response to
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: the most, the broadest, and the worst mass murder of
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Jews since the Holocaust. And let's be clear, we just
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: took out Sinwar, the head that we actually Israel took
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: out Sinhwar, the head of Hamas. They did so despite
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris threatening Israel, urging them not to go into Rafa.
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: At every stage, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris tried to
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: stop Israel from defeating Hamas, and Israel, to its credit
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: and actually enhancing our national security, has done so anyway,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: despite the fervid opposition of this White House.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Four elections upon us in the war on masculinity in
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: America today is more blatant than ever. And I want
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: you to know that now is the time to choose
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: strength and vitality over.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Weakness and complacency.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The problem is actually pretty simple, men's TESTOSTERM levels are
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: off a cliff historically, at an all time low. And
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: isn't that exactly what the liberal elite won a week
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: in docile underclass, especially of conservatives. Well, thankfully, the patriots

  Speaker 2: I want to also move on to another story, and
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: it's one that it was a flashpoint for the media.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: They were obsessed with saying that under Harris and under Biden,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: America has actually gotten safer. It came up during the debates,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: and of course they fact checked those on our team
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: that were saying, no, no, no, you're wrong. Things aren't
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: that's safe right now, And immediately they went into fact
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: checking by no, no, actually, things are better off than
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: they've been in years.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Well, guess what we knew We were right.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: And now the FBI has quietly released the numbers that
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: prove it, not release them. Let me rephrase that they've
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: had to revise their lies they put out earlier.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I got to say, what the Democrats have
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: been saying and what the media has been saying is
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: actual and literal fake dues. So the talking points of
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: all the Democrats, the talking points of all of the
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: corporate media was crime has gone down under Joe Biden,
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris. Now anyone looking at the rapes and murders
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: and the children being abused like that defied common sense,
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: But they pointed to the FBI stats as their proof.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: Let me read from an article in Real, Real Clear
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: Investigations by John Lott, who's an economist, and it's entitled
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Stealth Edit. FBI quietly revises violent crime stats. When the
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: FBI originally released the final crime data for twenty twenty
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: two in September of twenty twenty three, it reported that
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: the nation's violent crime rate fell by two point one percent.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: This quickly became and remains, a Democratic Party talking point
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: to counter Donald Trump's claims of soaring crime. But the
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: FBI has quietly revised those numbers, releasing new data that
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: shows violent crime increased in twenty twenty two by four
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: point five percent. So they said it fell by two
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: point one percent, that was a lie. In fact, it
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: increased by four point five percent. That's US six point
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: six percent delta difference. The new data includes thousands more murders, rapes, robberies,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and aggravated assaults. The Bureau which has been at the
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: center of partisan storms, made no mention of these revisions
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: in its September twenty twenty four press release. Real Clear
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: Investigations discovered the change through a cryptic reference on the
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: FBI website that states twenty two violent crime rate has
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: been updated for inclusion in Cius twenty twenty three, but
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: there's no mention that the numbers increased. One only sees
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: the change by downloading the FBI's new crime data and
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: comparing it to the file released last year. After the
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: FBI released its new crime data in September, a US
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: eight Today headline read quote, violent crime dropped for third
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: straight year in twenty twenty three, including murder and rape.
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: It's been over three weeks since the FBI released the
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: revised data. The bureau's lack of acknowledgment or explanation about
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: the significant change concerns researchers. And here's let me give
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: you a sense of just how dramatically they revised it.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: The updated data for the twenty twenty two report now
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: shows there were additional There were eighty thy and twenty
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: nine more violent crimes in twenty twenty two than in
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty one. There were an additional one thousand, six
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: hundred ninety nine murders, there were an additional seven hundred
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: eighty rapes, there were an additional thirty three, four hundred
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: and eighty nine robberies, and there were an additional thirty
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: seven and ninety one aggravated assaults. And the FBI isn't
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: explaining why it magically had a political outcome that happened
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: to fit the Democrat talking points. And by the way,
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: Kamla Harris isn't explaining it either.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: Yet, not at all. And this goes back to the
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: cover up. I don't think this was an accident. This
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: was deliberate by them because they knew they needed this
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: to be a campaign issue that hey, things aren't that bad, right, inflations,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: actually not that bad.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Immigration.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: We saw them do this deal with Mexico to make
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: the numbers artificially go down in August, in September going
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: into the election, going see, we're securing the border. It's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: no different with the violent crime stats here. This is
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: why so many Americans now don't trust the government, certainly
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: the deep state, certainly unfortunately the FBI, And yet no
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: one's going to get fired for screwing up their job.
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: This bad because it wasn't a screw up, it was
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: done deliberately.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: Well, you may be wrong that no one's going to
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: get fired, because.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Well that would be amazing in a first in my lifetime.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, if we have a good election. I
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: think if Donald Trump gets elected, we will see a
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: new attorney general. I think we will see a new
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: head of the FBI.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: And I am praying the people involved in this will
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: be fired if we win a majority in the Senate.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: I think we're likely to win, and the Republicans are
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: likely to win a majority in the Senate. As you know,
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I'm on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I'm going to press
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: the Judiciary Committee to launch an investigation into the FBI
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: as to who specifically put out the false data, and
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: I think we should push to get every email, exchange,
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: every conversation. I think it is likely that this was partisan,
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: but we need to get to the bottom of it.
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: And the fact that the FBI is not even providing
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: any explanation when they're caught red handed really does damage.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: And by the way, look, I'll tell you something again.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: As I travel around campaigning regularly, people ask me, should
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: we abolish the FBI. And I got to tell you
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: that actually that question concerns me because the FBI does
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of things that are incredibly important. The FBI
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: is designed to battle terrorism, to catch terrorists before they
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: commit another nine to eleven that the FBI catches serial killers,
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: The FBI catches child predators, the FBI helps with kidnap children.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, there is a very very important law enforcement
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: mission of the FBI. And I'll tell you, with first
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: James K. Comy and now Chris Ray running the FBI,
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: I think the integrity and the reputation of the FBI
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: has been so profoundly tarnished that half the country wants
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: to get rid of the damn thing altogether. That is
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: really bad ad from a law enforcement perspective, from a
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: perspective and stopping terrorists and stopping criminals. And I'll tell
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: you I have chewed out Chris Ray that when he
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: circles the wagons and defends the hardcore partisans who have
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: politicized the FBI, he is he is lighting on fire
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: the FBI's credibility and its reputation. And I think if
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: Trump wins, there needs to be a wholesale cleaning House,
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: getting rid of the wildly partisan career bureaucrats who burrowed
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: into senior leadership positions at the FBI.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: All right, let's dive into this even on a more
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: intense level, because this is one of those moments where
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of voters that are listening
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: right now. They're saying, Okay, my worry is we've heard
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: this before, that there's going to be a real draining
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: of the swamp. How different do you think a Trump
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: administration will be this time compared to twenty sixteen when
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: there was a lot of people that were on a list.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: And you've done transitions, I've done it before. When when
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: people win, and what you go through is you say, okay, well,
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: there's a certain group of people over here. These are
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: non political, we don't mess with them, right, they stay
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: throughout administrations, and then here's your support, here's your political ones,
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: and you can deal with them how you want. But
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: there's these certain areas we don't touch it. I think
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump learned there's a lot of these quote non
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: political positions that have become highly political.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, and this is a great example of that.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: So do you believe that there is is the political
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: will to actually clean house the way that many voters
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: are expecting. And I'd say that I think there's a
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: lot of voters that are expecting it. They're like, Okay,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: if we're going to put you back in there or
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: Republicans aka Trump, then you guys better do what you
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: said you're going to do this time in clean house,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: because that's what we're voting for.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Well, as you know, this is the topic of the
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: third book that I wrote, which is called Justice Corrupted,
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: How the Left has weaponized the legal system. And in
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: the book Justice Corrupted, I lay out how Barack Obama
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: weaponized the Department of Justice and the FBI and the
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: IRS and the alphabet soup of federal agencies to target
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: and attack his political enemies. And then when Trump became president,
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: by that point, many of these hard partisans had burrowed
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: into senior career positions in the agency, and they spent
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: the four years of the Trump presidency waging war on
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump. They hated him, they tried to destroy the president.
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: They tried to frustrate and oppose every aspect of his agenda.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: And now under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, they're brazen
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: and out in the open. They are nakedly politicized that
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: they repeatedly are employed to target and persecute the political
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: opponents of the White House, and it is disastrous. I
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: think it is one of the most important things in
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: a Trump administration to depoliticize the Department of Justice in
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the FBI. I've said a lot lot of times, I
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: don't want a Republican DJ. I don't want a Democrat DJ.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: I want a DJ that follows the law and that
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: prosecutes people when they break the law, regardless of their party.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: I want an FBI that does the same thing. And look,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: will it be better the second time around?
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Absolutely?
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I don't think Trump, and I know his senior team
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: in the White House, they didn't realize what it is
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: they were fighting. They didn't realize how the swamp operated,
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: and they left in place a lot of people who
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: actively waged war against the Trump administration. Look classic example
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: of that is James Comy. I believe that the Trump
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: White House should have fired James Comy on January twentieth,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: twenty seventeen. No one would have blinked. First day Trump
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: comes in office. Mister Komy, thank you for your services.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: He was the old head of the FBI. You're gone.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: They didn't. They thought, oh, we can co opt this
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: guy and get him to work with us. Well, it
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: was a disaster and the whole Russia Russia, Russia nonsense.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: James Comy was behind a lot of that. And so
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: this time around, I think there certainly they realize the
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: threat now. Fighting it's not easy. I'm not going to,
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: you know, just just blow smoke at you and say
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: it's all going to be rosy if Trump wins again.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: Fighting the swamp and the career bureaucrats is incredibly difficult.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: But I do think you will see a much much
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: greater seriousness of purpose from the Trump White House this
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: time around. I think they realize much more the magnitude
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: of the threat they're dealing.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: With the world's in flames and Bidenomics is a complete
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: and total disaster. And let me just tell you, when
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: you wake up every morning, as I say, fighting the commis,
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: I do a radio show at seven am, you got
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to have a great cup of coffee, not an average
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: cup of coffee, but a america first cup of blackout coffee.
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Blackout Coffee was started because of the other woke coffee companies.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: And when I said that, you probably thought of a
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: couple of different major brands of coffee.
• 34:54

• 35:58
  Speaker 2: for you, uh sender. There's a story and we're getting
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: more details on it, but we're going to talk about
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: this one on Wednesday, I'm sure. But there is a
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: headline that just popped and it says big tech censoring
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: ahead of the elections. I was not surprised by this.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: I think it's a no brainer. But we're seeing now
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: that this is a real problem yet again.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Weeks before election.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Day, Yeah, the Washington Post had an investigation that said
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: that Instagram, which is part of Meta, buries political posts
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: and it slashes the audience by sixty three percent when
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: the word vote is posted. And one influencer faced, as
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I said, a sixty three percent drop. And this is
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: an investigation done by Washington Post tech columnist Jeffrey Fowler
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: that showed that Meta cross its platforms including Instagram, Facebook
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: and Threads, actively suppressed content related to the upcoming twenty
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: twenty four alam election. And it affects partisan political posts,
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: but it also just nonpartisan content like vote that they
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: are suppressing it. And Fowler found that whenever an Instagram
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: account creator named missus Frazzld, whose real name is Aerial Fodor,
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: whenever phot mentioned anything related to politics over the last
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: six months, her audience size decreased by about forty percent
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: compared to her non political posts, and when she used
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: the word vote in a captured across eleven posts, the
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: average audience was sixty three percent smaller, and her experience
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: is not isolated. Fowler this is a Washington Post investigative
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: reporter found several other Instagram creators who noticed a similar pattern,
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: and it's not unique to individual accounts. There was a
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: wider study by an advocacy group called Accountable Tech that
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: quantified the audience drops for five prominent leftist Instagram accounts,
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: including the Human Rights Campaign and Feminist and over ten
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: weeks this spring, their average audiences fell by sixty five percent.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: The study found that conservative accounts experienced a similar drop
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: in engagement when discussing political topics and metas suppression of
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: political content happened when Zuckerberg in twenty twenty one decided
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: to pull back on political content and just try to
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: avoid politics. Now, look, I'd rather they avoid politics than
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: actively be biased, which is how they were in the
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty election, But silencing the ability of citizens to
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: talk about politics is a really bad dynamic. And you
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: contrast that to X, which I think X with Elon
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: Musk's having purchased it is the new town Square. But
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Facebook and Instagram have huge reaches and silencing politics is
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: really harmful for democracy.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah it is. We're going to have more on this
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: coming up on Wednesday. Don't forget. We do the show Monday,
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Wednesday Friday.

• 39:05
  Speaker 2: wherever you are on social media, even if they do
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: suppress it by sixty seventy percent.
