Schumer & the Dems BLOCK Emergency Funding for Israel plus Antisemitism at MIT Threatens Jewish Students' Safety · 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: your Senator. We had planned on doing a deep dive today,
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: and we'd promised many people on Monday's pod that we
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: were going to get into some of the Biden crime
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: family subpoena isn't what had happened. We are going to
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: push that to Friday, purposely because we're expecting some new
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: breaking news on that, and also in light of what
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: has happened in the Senate today, I want to talk
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: about this vote that happened where every single Senate Democrat
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: just voted to block aid to Israel on a day
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: when two hundred thousand plus came to the steps of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the capital to support Israel. This was shocking that every
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: one of them said no.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. Today was a momentace day. And look,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I spent this afternoon down at the mall with the
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: March for Israel, and we had hundreds of thousands of
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: people from all over America descend on Washington and stand
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: together for Israel, and it was inspirational. I spent a
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: lot of time down there just hugging people and encouraging
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: them and taking pictures and saying thank you and the
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: spirit of unity. I mean, we've seen over the last month,
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the nastiness we've seen, the vicious anti Semitism, we've seen,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: the hatred for Israel we've seen has been really horrifying.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And the March for Israel was spectacular to be a
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: part of. And then after that I came back to
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: Capitol Hill and a group of us, a group of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: Senators decided, Okay, enough is enough. We are going to
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: force a vote on military aid to Israel right now.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So as you know what happened, the House of Representatives
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: took up and passed a clean Israel aid bill, fourteen
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: billion dollars in emergency military aid for Israel. The Biden
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: White House wants to tie that military aid to Ukraine
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and also more broadly to their efforts to increase illegal immigration.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: They call it, in a very Orwellian term, border security funding,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: but it's designed not to secure the border at all.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Instead to increase illegal immigration, to accelerate the time for processing,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: to spend more money to putting illegal immigrants on trains
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: and planes and buses to send them to every city
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in America. And so the Biden White House is cynically
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: trying to tie is real. Aid to all of that,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: the House of Representatives did the right thing, something we've
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: called for on this podcast. Break Israel funding off and
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: vote for it free and clear. Now, when the House
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: did that, they decided to be fiscally responsible. They decided
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: to pay for it. I think that's the right thing
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: to do. And so the way they paid for the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: fourteen billion dollars is rescinding funding that the Democrats had
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: previously passed into law to hire eighty seven thousand new
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: IRS agents designed to harass small businesses, harassed middle class families,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: to be used as an army to go after the
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: enemies of this administration.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So now you you mentioned the vote and the numbers here,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there's some people that are going to be looking at
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: these numbers. It's very very tight this vote. It was
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: obviously a party line vote. How on earth is it
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: that not a single Democrat would come over and stand
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: with Israel on this or was this just a hey,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: we as a democratic party, we always vote together even
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: if it screws Israel. I mean, this is one of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the most tone, tone death votes I've ever witnessed. While
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: there's literally two hundred thousand plus people on the mall
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: standing with Israel in a nonpartisan way.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Look, this vote was a demonstration of what I describe
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: at great length in my brand new book Unwoke, How
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America. By the way, if
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: you haven't bought it, gone to Amazon right now and
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: buy the book. Because this vote today was a manifestation
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: of that today's democrats they don't give a damn about substance.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: They care about power, and because the corrupt corporate media
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: will not report on what they say, they are not
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: accountable for what they do. So here's what happens. This
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: is one of the moments where this podcast is unusual
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: because I want to bring you inside the procedural maneuvering
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: in the Senate in a way that frankly, there's no
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: other news source that provides that. So I came back
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: from the march for Israel about four pm on the
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Capitol and I got a text as I was driving
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: back to the Capital from Roger Marshall, Roger Marshall, Republican
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: from Kansas. Good friend. He said, a bunch of us
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: are meeting to try to force a vote on Israel
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: funding right now. So I deviated. I was going to
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: go to my office. I deviated to go to the
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: Senate floor. I was there with other Conservatives, people like
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Mike Lee, who is my closest friend in the Senate,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: a number of others, and we were strategizing about how
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: we can force a vote, and in particular, there's a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: procedural method called filing a rogue cloture petition, And what
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: that means is any sixteen senators can file a cloture petition,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: which is a petition to force a vote on something,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: and can basically hijack the Senate floor from the Senate
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: majority leader. And it is a procedural mechanism that is
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: very very rarely used because both Schumer and McConnell hate it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So McConnell had repeatedly urged us do not use this
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: mechanism because the majority leader should be able to control
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: the entire agenda and it's a mistake to let the
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: minority hijack the agenda. Well, look, I understand that procedural point.
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: It's not crazy as a day to day operation of
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the Senate. But here the House had passed emergency military
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: aid for Israel, and Chuck Schumer had announced we will
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: not vote on it. He would block the Senate from
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: voting on it. It was literally Schumer was single handedly
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: preventing a vote on emergency military aid for Israel. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: it's because he wants Number one, he's not willing to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: give up the funding for the army of eighty seven
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: thousand new IRS agents. He values harassing the political enemies
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: of the White House more than military aid for Israel.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: And number two, he wants to tie it to all
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the political priorities of Democrats and hold that military aid hostage.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you this question about this funding, because
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this is a fight that we did not see. Everybody
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: jumped on the S bandwagon when it came to military
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: aid for Ukraine. Democrats had no problem jumping on that
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: as well, and you didn't have to figure out a
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: way to try to bring this vote up. What is
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: the logic when you're talking to Democrats, your colleagues, and
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: the Senate. How can they be so he bent and
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: gung ho on unlimited funding for Ukraine, but no on
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: something as simple as defending our actual ally Israel.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: So Democrats number one, recognize that all the Republicans strongly
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: support military aid for Israel. So they see that cynically
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: as a political opportunity. Good, this is something where Republicans want,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Republicans want, let's hold it hostage. But number two, listen,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Democrats are worried about their left flank. They're getting blasted
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: by the anti Israel, anti Zionist, radical, anti Semitic left
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the squad, and so they're all nervous. And so what
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: ended up happening is why Schumer didn't want to vote.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: He didn't want to force Democrats to vote on it,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: and he felt like he had exquisite power. Now Schumer
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: screwed up. The majority leader can prevent what we did today.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: The way the majority leader prevents what we did today
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: is he files a pending motion to proceed to something,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: and under the Senate procedural rules, that pending motion to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: proceed to some bill blocks another motion to proceed to
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a bill. And so that's something when Senate Republicans had
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a majority, Mitch McConnell did every day. He did that
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to block the Democrats from doing what we did. Well,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Schumer was lazy. He didn't do that, so the floor
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: was wide open. And so what happened is a group
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: of us we had eleven Senate Republicans. We met off
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: the floor of the Senate. You needed eleven to force
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: a voice vote, and so we gathered there on the
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: side of the Senate and we're talking about, Okay, we're
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: going to force this, and we're doing this surreptitiously. This
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: is like four pm Tuesday afternoon. We then all went
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: to the Senate cloak room and we were waiting, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: actually John Kennedy was giving an extended speech, and we
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: wanted Roger Marshall as the one who had the idea
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: initially to go forward. So Mike Lee and I and
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: others were backing Roger, and we needed to get the
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: floor because the Senate Democrats were starting to get wind
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: of what we were trying to do. And at one point,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer's lead floor aid on the Senate, his sort
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: of lead staffer. He came and stock buck his head
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: in the Republican cloak room and he looks around and
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: he sees eleven of us sitting there, and he kind
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: of looks around and he doesn't quite say this out loud,
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: but everything is in his expression goes, oh shit.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Like he knew this.
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: He had figured out what we were trying to do.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: And so we went Actually, Ran Paula was part of
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: the group. Rand went down to John Kennedy. He was
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: giving a speech in another matter, and Ran interrupted him.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: He's like, John Kennedy's on c SPAN giving a speech
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: and Rand said, John, we really need you to stop
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: right now. It's an emergency. Please stop. And John didn't
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: even know what we were doing, but he's like, uh, okay,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: so he stops. Roger Marshall goes down and he gets recognized.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: So getting recognized, once you're recognized, you have the floor,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you have power. And so Roger goes down and he
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: moves to proceed to the House Bill. So the House
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Bill is what they passed. It is fourteen billion dollars
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in emergency military funding for Israel, paid for by rescinding
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the IRS additional funding for eighty seven thousand agents. Once
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: he did that, the Democrats are in panic. They're like, oh, crapo, crapple, crapple, crap.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: And so Raphael Warnock, the Democrat from Georgia, he was
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: down there. Now. Procedurally, once Roger moves to proceed to
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: the bill, he has relinquished the floor. It's a jump
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: ball at that point because to move to proceed to it,
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: the presiding officer instructs the clerk to read the title
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: of the bill, So Roger no longer has the floor.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Can I ask your cynical question real quick?
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: How many senators have no idea how this works? What
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: you're describing right now? I'm I become about ninety okay,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I was just That's the reason why this story is
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: amazing to me, because I'm like, I bet you the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: majority of the senators that you serve with don't know
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: this is the rules of the Senate and how this
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: would work.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: No, no, it's only a handful of senators that understand
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: the rules. So Roger moves. When he makes the motion,
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: he's relinquished the floor. And so what happened then? As
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: soon as the clerk has read the title of the bill,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: Roger says, mister President, and the presiding officer with Senator
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Welch from Vermont he was there. Roger calls out mister President.
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: But Raphael Warnock, liberal Democrat from Georgia, calls out mister
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: President as well. Now the presiding officer, when you've got
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: multiple people asking me recognized, has the option to pick
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: who to decide, and so, because he's a Democrat, Welch
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: recognizes Warnock. Warnock stands up and says, I suggest the
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: absence of a quorum. Now what that means. This is
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: getting in the weeds. But this is one of the
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: cool things about this podcast. It takes you inside the Senate.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Under the Senate rules, when any senator suggests the absence
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: of a quorum, there is a mandatory quorum call. What
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it means is there are not enough senators on the
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: floor right now to conduct business. It is a way
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: to freeze the Senate, to lock it in paralysis, because
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: once you're in a quorum call, you can do nothing else.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: And so Warnock pushed us into a quorum call. At
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: that point, we're and there are more than eleven of
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: us that are there. We proceeded over the next hour periodically,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: one after the other. We'd grab the microphone, we'd stand
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: up and say, mister President, I asked unanimous consent to
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: vitiate the quorum call. That's a way to say, end
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: the quorum call, let's vote on the stamp thing and
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: over and over you we did this like thirty times.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Democrats would object. They'd say object, I object, I object. Now,
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: you can do that forever. You can keep They could
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: keep us in a quorum call, but it meant they
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: were stuck, and so we were brainstorming, Okay, how can
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: they avoid a vote. We went up to him and said, look,
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: what we want is a roll call vote where every
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: senator has to go on record do you support funding
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: for Israel or do you oppose funding for Israel. After
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: about two hours, and I cannot overstate ben how upset
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer was, how upset the Democrats were. We blindsided them.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: They did not expect this. This hit them out of nowhere,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and then they finally said, screw it, We're going to
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: force through the vote. So we voted and it was
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: a straight party line vote. So understand, every single Democrat
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: voted against emergency military funding for Israel. Chuck Schumer, who
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: calls him the defender of Israel, that's what he calls himself,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: voted against emergency military funding for Israel. John Tester, who's
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: running for reelection in Montana, voted against emergency funding for Israel.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Shared Brown, who's running for reelection in Ohio, voted against
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: emergency funding for Israel. Bob Casey, who's running for reelection
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: in Pennsylvania voted against emergency funding for Israel. Jackie Rosen,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: who's running for reelection in Nevada, voted against emergency funding
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: for Israel. Tammy Baldwin, who's running for reelection in Wisconsin,
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: voted against emergency funding for Israel. And the amazing thing
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: has been it was a straight party line vote, which
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: means every single one of those Democrats I named was
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: the deciding vote. Literally, if one Democrat had voted with us,
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: this was a fifty vote threshold, so one Democrat could
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: have passed this, but every Democrat voted no. And it
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: was a moment of clarity, And I think a moment
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: of clarity that will come down to the election next
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: year where the Democrats have made clear that partisan politics
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: matters more to them than standing with Israel.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Right now, big headlines have you seen them lately? Third
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: highest deficit in history, another one digital dollars, sparks uncertainty,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: and the one that's got everyone concerned Israel, Declaire's War.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: We're living in an unpredictable world right now, but gold
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: is still gold.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: It's weathered many storms.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Gold gives peace of mind, it's tangible, it's real, It
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: helps me sleep at night as well, because I know
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: that I have gold and I'm a firm believer in
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: gold iras. Listen, if you have an Ira or a
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: four oh one k, it's time that you learn about
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: the benefits of a gold ira from Augusta Precious Medals.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: That's where I bought my gold. They're exceptional, honest, no pressure,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: and top not service. Get a free guide to gold
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: iras from Augusta Precious Medals today. Text the word Ben
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to six eight five nine to two. That's Ben to
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: six eight five ninety two. Again, Text the word Ben
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: to six eight five nine to two or Augusta Precious
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Medals dot com. Sena, you mentioned that any one Democrat
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: could have moved the pendulum here and funded Israel. And
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: if you don't have to name names per se, but
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: are you shocked? I mean, there are some Democrats that
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I truly believe are quote friends of Israel. I am
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: shocked at not one of them did the right thing
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: here and truly stood with Israel. They just said no
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: party over even Israel. And and what is referred to
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: is emergency funding, meaning they need it now.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Look, this was I think a spectacularly foolish vote by Democrats.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I mean you had. Kirsten Cinema was the deciding vote
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: against emergency aid to Israel. Bob Benendez, who right now
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: is in the midst of a very serious indictment and
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: a serious scandal, but he's on the ballot November. He
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: was the deciding vote against emergency aid to Israel. Dick Blumenthal,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: Ben Carden, all sorts of Democrats who hold themselves out
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: as defenders of Israel. Every one of them, literally one
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: of them could say, you know what, we need emergency
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: A to Israel now, and I don't care what my
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: party leadership says. I'm not going to do it. But
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: they decided they cracked the whip. And I'll tell you
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: on the flip side, listen, it was not easy to
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: hold every Republican. So I was down on the Senate
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: floor for about two and a half hours this afternoon
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: and I was whipping Republicans and listen, Republican leadership was pissed.
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: I cannot over state how angry they were. And the
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: reason is it is our leadership said, listen, if you
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: do this when Republicans have the majority, Democrats will use
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: this tool to try to hijack the floor, and that's
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: a reasonable procedural point. I get that. It's not crazy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: That being said, I think the crisis in Israel is
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: so dire, the position of the Democrats is so indefensible
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: that it made sense to force and so we did it.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: But when we're voting on it, there were a number
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: of Republicans close to leadership who delayed their vote and
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: delayed their vote and delay their vote, and I was
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: talking to them personally, and I was saying, please, please
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: vote to do the right thing, because if we ended
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: up with a vote where you had all the Democrats
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: and two or three or five Republicans, it would totally
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: blur the distinction. They could say there's a bipartisan vote
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: against this procedural game. That's what the Democrats would say.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: And so I was begging Republicans, please, this is something
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: I get. You don't like the procedural mechanism that we
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: forced this vote, but we did. Once we did, let's
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: actually be united and be team players. And miraculously, look
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: it was close. And I was talking staffers, I was
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: talking to members, I was lobbying. I was on the
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: in the well of the Senate working vote by vote
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: by vote, we got every single Republican one hundred percent.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: That was a big deal because it means that each
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: and every Democrat. There is not a Democrat in the
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Senate who was not the deciding vote on this motion.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: And that is a big deal for clarity. And I
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: want to underscore something. Ben you asked a minute ago,
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: why would Democrats do this? And part of me was
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: shocked by the way. Joe Manchett is not running free election.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: He voted against military funding for Israel. He could have
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: been the deciding vote, but he figured, I guess, screw it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: I'm leaving the Senate to who cares part of the
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: reason Democrats do this while we're voting. I looked up
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: in the Senate. There were four reporters up in the
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: Senate gallery. We'll see how many headlines are published about
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: Senate Democrats block military funding for Israel, But my guess
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: is very, very few. We went out and tried to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: talk to reporters. I didn't see the six o'clock news tonight,
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: so I don't know this for a fact, but I'd
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: be willing to bet you one hundred dollars right now,
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: and I'm cheap. I don't bet one hundred dollars on
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: many things.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: I bet you one hundred dollars that none of the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: major networks covered that Senate Democrats tonight blocked funding for Israel.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: And this is why. Look, this is the point in
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: my book Unwoke, which you ought to go online and
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: buy right now. This is why I focus so much
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: on the corrupt corporate media. Because the corrupt corporate media,
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: they're not covering news. They are partisan advocates. They don't
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: want aid to Israel to pass. They are cheering for Hamas.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Many of the corrupt corporate media are openly sharing for Hamas.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: And so Democrats can cast spectacularly foolish votes and know
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: their constituents will never know about it. Dick Blumenthal, Democrat
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: from Connecticut, he holds himself out as one of the
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: leading defenders of Israel. Well, he is absolutely certain when
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: he goes to Connecticut, none of his voters will know
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: that he was the deciding vote that blocked emergency military
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: aid to Israel. Why because the corrupt corporate media won't
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: tell them.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: You, Senator, have said this several times, and it's a
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: very accurate statement. You say, if lawyers never ask a
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: question of somebody if they don't already know the answer.
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: That rule applies, I think to taking things to the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: for the Senate for a vote, right, don't call a
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: vote if you don't know what the outcome is going
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: to be. And yet this today seems to be one
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: of those incredibly authentic moments. Was it inspired because of
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: the two hundred thousand plus that came to Capitol Hill
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: to stand with Israel? And that's where this kind of started,
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: where it's like, you know, we got to do something today,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and let's just see if we can get it done.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: And know we haven't called everybody beforehand, and this is
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: an organic moment in the Senate.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Look for me, it certainly was. I can't speak to
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: the other Republican senators, but I came literally from the
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: march on Washington. I was down there hugging and supporting
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: so many incredible heroes and Jewish Americans who came from
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: all over the country to come to the mall to
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: stand in solidarity. And I came back and I heard
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: several of my colleagues were thinking of this, and I
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: was like, absolutely, let's go to the floor right now,
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: Let's do it. And so I leaned in aggressively, and
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I got to say it was striking. Number one, the
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: absolute panic among Senate Democrats was striking, but sadly the
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: panic among Senate Republican leadership. They didn't like that we
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: did this either, But I think it provided an absolute
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: moment of clarity. And let me be clear, what I
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: hoped would happen is that we would vote to provide
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: the military ade Israel. By the way, if one Democrat,
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: if even one, if Bob Casey, if Jackie Rosen, if
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: John Tester is Sheared Brown, if even one Democrat had
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: voted with us, this bill would have passed and we
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: would have sent it to Joe Biden's desk tonight, so
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden could have signed it this evening and sent
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: fourteen billion dollars to Israel Tuesday night.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: I didn't know if that would happen. I actually wasn't
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: sure they could hold their votes. And part of the
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: reason they locked up the floor in a quorum call
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: for a couple hours is I assumed they were whipping
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: their votes. They called the people that they thought were
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: wobbly votes. They said, Okay, Schumer wants you to vote
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: to screw Israel. Are you okay with that? And I
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: think every Democrat said yep, good bye me, I'm good
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: by that. And it just I got to say, if
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: the shoe were on the other foot, if it were
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Republican leadership asking Republicans to cast a vote like that,
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't do it, and a whole bunch of us wouldn't.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: Yet the Democrats. This is where I cannot overstate the
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: impact of the corrupt corporate media. Part of the reason
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: Republicans wouldn't do it is our voters will know if
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: we cast a terrible vote.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would literally cost several centaters their job the
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: next selection.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: The Democrats feel utterly and completely immune. They know that
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: CNN has their back, they know that ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC.
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: They won't cover it, they won't report on it, they'll
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: ignore it, they'll bury it. And The New York Times
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: they're not going to cover it because they don't want
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: to cover it, because they're more interested in the left
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: wing partisan agenda than they are and actually covering the news.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: If you are sick and tired of woke companies taking
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: your money because you think you got to work with them,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: and you say, well, that's all. I've got a great
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: example of that is the cell phone industry. You may think, hey,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: there's two or three big companies, those are my options.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: I can't really dictate to them what they stand for,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: what they do. Well, now you have a chance with
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: a company called Patriot Mobile. You may not realize this,
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: but Big Mobile actually gives big donations to Democrats and
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: big donations to plan Parenthood. If you don't want your
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: money going there, you have an option. That option is
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile. And what they're doing right now to celebrate
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: their tenth anniversary is incredible. For every person that switches
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: a Patriot Mobile, they are going to give a donation
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to a pro life organization to protect the rights of
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: unborn children.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: Now that's just the start.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Then every month when you pay your bill, at no
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: extra cost to you, they actually give donations money a
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: portion of your bill to conservative causes that stand up
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: and protect and offend our First and our Second Amendment rights,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: stand up for the sancty of life, stand up for
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: our military, our veterans, and our first responders.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: They have one hundred percent.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: US based customer service team, which makes switching easy. You
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: can keep your same cell phone number you have now
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: keep your same phone or upgrade and they will help
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: you find the best plan for your needs, your family needs,
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: or your business or small business needs. Call them nine
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: seven two Patriot that's nine seven two Patriot nine seven

  Speaker 2: deals of the year and free activation Patriot Mobile dot
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: Com slash vertic Senator. I want to move to another issue,
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: and it deals with Israel, but it's in a different capacity,
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: and that is the shock of anti Semitism on college campuses.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: MIT now is facing backlash for not expelling anti Israel
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: protesters over their they what they refer to as visa issues.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: They said they are originally threatened to expel these pro
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Palace and In protesters, and then afterwards they're like, Okay,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: we're gonna full, We're gonna come back on this. We're
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: going to pull back on this, uh and say never mind,
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: because these people if we if we pull them from school,
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: it will have visa issues. Regardless of how extreme these
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: protesters were. This is shocking to see them coming back
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: from this. Yet that's exactly what now has happened at MIT.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Your reaction, well, listen, what happened at MIT was absolutely disgraceful.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: MIT by any measure, is one of the finest educational
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: institutions on the face of the planet. It may be
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: the greatest scientific technical university in the world. And what
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: has happened in the last several days is that numerous
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Jewish students were forced to stay home from classes. They
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: could not attend classes. Why because anti Israel, anti Semitic
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: protesters threatened them, physically threatened them, and the students said
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: they felt that they felt safe, that they felt like
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: going to class would endanger their personal safety. Now that
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: is insane and any normal university. If one student threatens
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: another student, threatens their safety and prevents them from going
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: to class, whoever makes that threat should be expelled. If
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: you are harassing Jewish students because you're an anti Semite bigot,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: you should be expelled. And by the way, to be clear,
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: if someone was harassing Muslim students and preventing Muslim students
• 27:30
  Speaker 3: from going to class, they should be expelled. No student
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: has a right to harass and threaten fellow students. Well,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: what happened in MIT is is this harassment occurred, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: Jewish students stayed home, and the university administrators back to
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: weigh and refuse to take the natural step of expelling them.
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: Why because these rabbit anti Semitisms were there. Semites were
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: there on student visas, and if they got expelled, they'd
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: get sent back comb And the university said, well, okay,
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: if you were an American, we would punish you. But
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: because you're not an American, because you're a guest, because
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: we've welcomed you to our country to get an education,
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: you can conduct harassment and bigoting, bigoted, racist, threatened threatening
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: of other students, and we will just turn to blind
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: eye and give you a pat on the back.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: It's CNN.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: There truly seems to be a civil war inside of
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: CNN right now, because if you watch the Morning Show,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: it's like all Hamas propaganda and anti Semitism. You watch
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: their primetime wine up at night, it goes right back
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to that. There was a moment and I want to
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: give credit here to Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper had on
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: an MIT graduate student and let her tell her story
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: to the world, and I want you to hear what
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: she had to say. It was and I'm glad that
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: he used his program for good. You had the headline
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: hate in America. MIT students speaks out about anti Semitism
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: on campus.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: Listen to this.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: As a Jewish student at MIT, do you feel safe
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: on campus? You know? Honestly, Jake, in the past few weeks,
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: I have not felt safe on campus.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Why not?
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: So? You know, ever since October seventh, we've seen at
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: universities around the country that you know, the conflict that's
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: overseas has come to our home term, and we've had
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of rallies and events by an organization called
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: the Coalition Against Apartheid, which is the anti Israel group
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: on MIT's campus, and they, along with some local anti
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: Israel groups, have come to campus because MIT is an
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: open campus, which means that anybody can walk around and
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: you know, be on campus. So they together have done
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: protests on campus on the steps of Lobby seven, which
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: is the main entrance to MIT, and in front of
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the Student Center. And I mean, people protest, but but
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: what do they do? What do they say that makes
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: you feel unsafe? So I guess part of it is
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: the fact of what they're saying. So when you're saying
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: things like globalize the end of Fada, use your two
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: fists to sacrifice everything for Palestine and one solution and
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: to fada. You know, we know what happened during the
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: second end of Fada. It was suicide bombings and attacks
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: against Israeli civilians in Israel. But the other part of
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: it is that these people aren't just protesting outside and
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: exercising the rights for free speech, which I fully support
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: as an American. It's that they're going you know, they
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: went to the personal offices of a program that runs
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: Israel internships on MIT's campus, and they went to the
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: offices of the people who worked for this program, and
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: they tried to enter it. They were going from door
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: to door trying to unlock the doors, and the people
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: who worked in this office had no idea to what
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: these students were trying to do by trying to get
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: into their office. They were yelling, they were accusing them
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: of apartheid, of ethnic cleansing, of genocide. And it was
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: a really frightening experience.
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: A really frightening experience. You hear this student saying this,
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: and yet this is happening to them. And as you
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: described a moment ago, they said, if you keep doing this,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: we're going to expel you.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Then they said, oh, never mind, just kidding.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: You're just going to be in trouble, but you're not
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: going to get expelled because we don't want you to
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: lose your visa. That's in my Semitism and accepting this
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: type of abuse by these individuals.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Well, that's right. And let me quote from Fox News
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: had an article about this where they quoted conservative lawyer
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Maria Maria Medvin and she said, quote, MIT is one
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: of the most prestigious universities in the US these days.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: Foreigners make up about thirty percent of the MIT student body.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Jewish students, on the other hand, make up about six
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: percent of the MIT student body, a campus minority. So
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: think about it right now now. I will admit it
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: is somewhat concerning that thirty percent of the MI two
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: student body are foreigners. But especially if these are foreigners
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: that are vicious bigots, that are anti Semites, that are
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: willing to threaten her, harass and threaten physical violence against
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: their fellow students, their Jewish students because they hate them
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: so much. They should be expelled. If you threaten physical
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: violence against the fellow student, if you block them from
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: going to class. That should be a no brainer reason
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: for expulsion, and the administrators, Look, why did the administrators
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: not expel them? And again this goes back to what
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: I talk about in my new book Unwoke. This is
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: cultural Marxism. The administrators, the cultural Marxist side with the
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: people they have decided are the victims, the Palestinians, over
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: the people. They have decided that they are the pressers,
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: the Jews. And so for the radical left, threats of
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: violence against Jews are okay, it is acceptable. And and
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: so listen the fact that someone's on a student VI
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: said they ought to behave better, not worse. It shouldn't
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: be the case that Americans are held to stricter standards
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: than foreigners coming to study in our universities. And yet
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: MIT says, well, if we expelled you, you lose your
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: student visa, So we're not going to expel you. Please
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: continue to harass and threaten and threaten physical violence to
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: our students, because you know, we the administrators don't give
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: a damn about the Jewish students because in the cultural
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Marxist world, they're the oppressors. So tech with.
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: Them, Yeah, to the heck with them?
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: And I will say it's we better stand up for
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: these students and the fact and hold these and I
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: hope donors, I really do, and the people that give
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to these universities are paying it.
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, these universities are doing yes, yes, yes, absolutely right.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: And it's one of the things that is freaking universities
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: out is that donors are cut are cutting off the cash,
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: and that is it's the one thing that's getting them attention.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: And listen, I want to actually quote from one of
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: the best known poems. First, they came for the socialists,
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: and I I did not speak out because I was
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: and I did not speak out because I was not
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: I did not speak out because I was not a Jew.
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: Then they came for me, and there was no one
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: left to speak out for me. Look, I think that
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: applies to our universities right now. If there's anyone at
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: a university, a student, a professor, an administrator who gives
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: a damn about equal rights, about protection, about stopping anti semitism,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: about stopping bigotry, about stopping hate, speak out now. If
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: you're a donor and you write a check to these schools,
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: speak out now and say not one penny more until
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: you protect the students on our campus. You cannot give
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: in to the violent Marxist radical and expect us to
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: continue to support these schools. This is a time for
• 35:06
  Speaker 3: choosing right now.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: We need strong men to stand up.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And did you know that the average man has half
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: of the tesosterrum of the average man fifty years ago
• 35:17

• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Lastly, I want to play for you and just so
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: people understand what's happening at MIT. This is just some
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: of the student videos have gone viral online. They're chanting
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: Infantada and the Jewish students are stuck inside, were physically
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: prevented from attending class by this hostile group of Prohamas
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: and anti Israel MIT students that call themselves a CAA.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Then another student came out and showed another video of
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: these massive protests, and this is what it sounded like, Senator.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: They were doing this and they knew where many of
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: the Jewish students were when they went to these buildings
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: to protest, just to scare these Jewish students. I leave
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: everybody with that audio, and I want to get your
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: final words on this, because this is clearly organized. It's
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: being funded by someone, Senator. The MIT is what they
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: refer to as an open campus where outside groups can
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: come in. This is orchestrated by these extremists, anti Israel groups.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: Somebody has to be paying for this, funding this, and
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: then they are targeting where the Jewish students are in
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: these schools. And it's not just MIT. This is happening
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: on other college campuses.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: So the Second Intifada in Israel was a series of
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: suicide bobbings carried out by Palestinian assailants and it resulted
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: in It took place between nineteen eighty seven and nineteen
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: ninety three, and it had a combined casualty casualty figure
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: of roughly one thousand Israelis, three thousand Palestinians, and sixty
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: four foreign nationals. And so when these radicals are cheering
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: and chanting for another Intifada, they're calling for murdering more Jews. Now,
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: mind you, on October seventh, we saw one two hundred
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Israelis civilians targeted by Hamas' death squads and murdered because
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: they are Israelis. And these protesters are chanting they want
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: another intefada. In other words, you haven't murdered enough Jews.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: We want more Jews murdered. That's what they're chanting. And listen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: if you're a Jewish student at MIT or at another
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: one of these elite universities where these radical leftists have
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: taken over, it is understandable that you are afraid for
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: your own safety. This is disgraceful and every university that
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: allows this to happen is failing in their obligation to
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: keep their students safe. No student, everyone has a right
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: to free speech. No student has a right to threaten
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: physical violence against other students to prevent students from going
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: to class. And that's what these radicals are doing at
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: mi Tea and right now the MI T administration is
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: complicit in this terrorizing of Jewish students.
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: It's disgraceful, Senator.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: It's always a pleasure, especially on shows like this that
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: I think are so important. I would ask all of
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: you listening please help spread the word by sharing this
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: podcast on your social media wherever you are.
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Write us a five stor review.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: It helps us on the charts, reach new listeners when
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: they put the charts out on Apple and other services.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: And most importantly, go out there and grab the Center's
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: new book. It is an incredible read for the holidays, Unwoke.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: It is out right now and there's so much that
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: the Senator is talking about tonight that has really talked
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: about in this book. I've read it. It's amazing. Makes
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: you grab that on Amazon as well. The Senator and
