Terror Comes to America from Biden Afghan Terrorists · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, ben Ferguson
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with you. It's so nice to have you with us.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: And Senator there has been a lot that has happened
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: in this country dealing with people that have come into
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: this country unvetted, and now we have seen an attack.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: It's cost people with their lives, and not only that,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: we've also found others that are now threatening to do
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: violence in America.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: I'm angry about it.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: A lot of Americans are, and finding out just how
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: ignorant the last administration was and letting people in is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: truly shocking and a real national security issue.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Now, well, it's truly horrific what happened on Wednesday, the
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Wednesday before Thanksgiving, two National Guard members, Sarah Beckstrom H
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: twenty and Andrew Wolf H twenty four, were shot less
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: than twenty four hours after they were sworn in. Sarah
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: tragically passed away on Thanksgiving Day as you and I
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: are recording this. Andrew is still fighting for his life
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: but in very serious condition. The shooter, as we all know,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: was an Afghan national who Joe Biden brought to the
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: United States, who had very limited vetting, who was released,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: who was living in Washington State who got in a
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: car and drove from Washington State to Washington d C.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Pulled out a gun and shot these two National Guard members. Now,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: if that is not infuriating, that, I don't know what is.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: And in particular Ben, some of us, including the two
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: of us, including the Verdict podcast, have been predicting this
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: was going to happen for more than four years when
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden began doing this, when Joe Biden began bringing
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: in thousands upon thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals, just bringing
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: in people who who were in a war torn country
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: where radical Islamic terrorism is rife, and engaging in little
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: to no vetting. This was, sadly the predictable and the
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: predicted outcome.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: They also lied about it.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: And that's something else that I think people need to
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: unders is they tried to act like this was no
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: big deal early on center that we were vetting, and
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: they flat out lied to the American people because they
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: were trying to cover for the disastrous exit of Afghanistan.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. And if you remember, the exit
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: of Afghanistan was when the Biden presidency began to collapse. There,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you know, the Biden presidency was extremely political and their
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: poll numbers dropped ten points when it was an utter disaster.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: They pulled out of Afghanistan. If you remember they pulled out.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: They wanted to be out by September eleventh, the twentieth
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: anniversary of September eleventh, and so they ordered the troops
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: out with no level of competence, no level. The military
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: told them, look, we need sufficient troop levels to at
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: least do the evacuation. We need sufficient troop levels to
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: have a secure evacuation. At Bogram Airfield that we had
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: spent billions of dollars building, it was safe, it was secure.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: If you wanted to do an evacuation, it was the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: right place to do it from. But the Biden political
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: operatives said, no, we want the number down to twenty
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: five hundred troops by a date certain, and so they
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: abandoned Bagram. They just gave it to the Taliban. They
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: did the evacuation out of Cabul National Airport, which is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: in the middle of it a dense urban area, and
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: tragically resulted in thirteen servicemen and women being murdered. Because
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of those decisions and the incompetence and the ideology and
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: understand it was both. It was incompetence, to be sure,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: but it was also ideology that they refused to recognize.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: This is an administration that we refused to recognize radical
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: Islamic terrorism exists. And so we saw the images of
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: planes taking off in Cabbal with people clinging to the
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: to the tires and trying to get into the wheel wells,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: the panic, the terror, the chaos, the death, and politically
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration that was the turning point. After that,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: they began shipping in thousands and tens of thousands and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: even hundreds of thousands of Afghans, and because idea logically,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: they don't acknowledge radical Islamic terrorism as a threat, they
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: didn't vet them. They just said, Hey, the more people
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: we bring into this country who hate America, the more
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: people are going to vote Democrats. That's the only justification.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: It's like ignorance, an ideology plus a long term political objective.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: And we've seen it. We've seen it with the Somali
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: invasion in Minnesota and the tragedies that are unfolding there.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: We've seen it with the radicalization of places like Dearborn,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Michigan and We've seen it with the Afghans, and this
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: is something I have been screaming from the ramparts and
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: fighting from day one. And what happened in DC is infuriating.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: And those two National guardsmen did not need to be shot.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: And this is the result of idiotic policies from the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Biden Harris administration.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the frustrating part about this is this is another
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: disaster that Trump administration has inherited, and so how do
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: we clean it up? We're going to talk about that
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: in a moment, but before we do that, I want
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to talk to you about your cell phone provider. How
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: would you like to know that you're saving money, You're
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: getting unbelievable service, and on top of that, every single
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: month when you pay your bill, you're actually giving back
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to conservative causes that fight for your first or second
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: minute rights, the rights of unborn children, and for our
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: men and women in uniform, our veterans, our wounded warriors,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: are fallen soldiers and supporting their families. Well, every month
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: when I pay my bill to Patriot Mobile, that's exactly
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: what happens. And so often it's just the truth. The
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: matter of the fact is there's a lot of companies
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out there that actually fight against our values. So why
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: give them your cash and support them when they're fighting
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: against what you believe in. Big Mobile gives massive donations
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to democratic causes, candidates, and radical organizations that fight against
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: everything we believe in. Well, switch to Patriot Mobile and
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: you'll know that with every text you sin and with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: every call you make, you're making a difference because about
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: five percent of your bill every month goes back to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: support conservative causes. Now you may ask a question about coverage,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: it's not a problem. I literally flew to Israel, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: was in Gaza and my phone worked. If you're worried
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: about coverage, you don't need to be. Patriot Mobile is
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the only one of the carriers out there that offers
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: premium coverage as the main carriers, but they give you
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: multiple options. In fact, you can even have two phone
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: numbers on the same line. They offer limited data plans,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: mobile hotspots, international roaming, just like when I was in Israel,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and so much more, and switching has never been easier.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: You can activate in minutes from your home or your office,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and you can keep your same number, keep your phone,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: or upgrade. So what are you waiting on? And let
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: me give you a free month of service as well.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict. That's Patriot Mobile dot
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: com slash verdict or nine seven to two Patriot use
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the promo code verdict for a free month of service.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict promo code verdict.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: You're gonna free month of service today. All right, So center,
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: let's go back to what we were talking about before,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and let's really do a reset of the warnings, the
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: fact that the Biden administration was warned about this turning
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: into what it is now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It's costing people their lives.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: And there were quite a few that listened to show
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that knew we were sounding the alarm, not because we
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to be right, but because this is a national
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: security issue and we saw it happening before our very eyes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Now that's exactly right. We're going to put up for
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: those of you who are watching the podcast on YouTube,
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: We're going to put up a tweet that I sent
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: out in August of twenty twenty one, and I'll read
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: you the tweet. It says, touring the Donna Anna Camp
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: at Fort Bliss this morning, where Biden administration plans to
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: house ten thousand Afghan refugees. We should rescue Afghans who've
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: assisted the US military, but they should go to a
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: neutral and safe third country. They should not come to
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: the US without a full security So, look, there were.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Afghans during the way. Wait, what was the day to that.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: I want to make sure people understand how much we
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: knew this was going to be a problem.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, So it was August twenty seventh, twenty twenty one.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: And by the way, I was and I also have
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: a picture, so I'm in a black Hawk helicopter touring
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the tent facility. They literally built a gigantic tent city
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: on Fort Bliss. Fort Bliss is in El Paso, Texas.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: It is a massive military base and they built a
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: tent city to house ten thousand Afghans. Now, there was
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: very little security. They didn't know who was coming in.
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: They didn't know how they would leave. They didn't know
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: if they could leave, if they were terrorists. They could
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: literally hail an uber leave and go wherever they wanted.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: It was insanity and listen. During the war in Afghanistan,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: there were Afghans who made courageous decisions to help the
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: US government, And I think it's wrong and im moral
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: to just leave them to be murdered by the Taliban.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So I think we had an obligation knew something. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of options short of bringing them
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: to America. That they're a whole bunch of Muslim countries
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East where they would not pose the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: same terror threat that they pose here, And a perfectly
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: reasonable approach would be We're going to set up refugee
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: camps with our allies through throughout the throughout the Middle East,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: move those refugees there, and for those that pass a
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: vigorous screening test, it is possible some of them might
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: come to the United States, but only after we were
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: absolutely certain that there was not a risk of a
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: terror attack like we saw.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: By the way you and I talked about this.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I knew several people that worked that fought for our
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: country in Afghanistan and they said their most frustrating aspect
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: of the pullout was the US was almost like they
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: were playing a numbers game. Well, we got out five
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: thousand or ten thousand or twenty thousand, and they said
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: their interpreters were being hunted down, people that helped American
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: soldiers were being hunted down. They weren't actually pulling out
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: the people that deserve to be pulled out. It was
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: just a numbers game after the disaster, try to make
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: it go away.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: No, that's exactly right. They were both over inclusive and
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: under inclusive. In other words, they were missing people who
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: really had been allies of the United States because there
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: was no serious process to identify who would risk their lives,
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: who was at real danger of persecution and murder. And
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: they were also just letting waving people in. I want
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: you to listen to this cross examination that I did
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: of Tony Blinkn, then the Secretary of State at the time,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: give a listen on this topic. But I want to
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: ask you flat out, did the State Department give the
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Taliban a list or multiple list of Americans and or
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Afghans that we wanted out.
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: Those reports and the idea that we would do anything
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: to endanger our citizens or anyone else at a time
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: when we were trying to save their lives is flat
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: out wrongs.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Let me just like a yes or no, did you
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: give them?
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: Let me very.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: Clear, a Senator, if I may please thank you, in
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: limited instances where we were seeking to get a bus
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: or a group of people through a checkpoint. We gave
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: a manifest to the people at the checkpoint to demonstrate
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: that those people were expected way.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: How many names were on the list you gave.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: It doesn't matter because they all.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: Dozen, the hundreds, thousands, give us some order of magnitude.
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: This happened in a handful of situations where to dozen.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: So is it your testimony It wasn't hundreds. I want
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to understand. Did you give them thousands of names?
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: No?
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: We did not. Okay, hundreds, not going to put a
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: number on it, but it was again.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Why not? This is a hearing to discover how many
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: names and how many of those individuals you gave the
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Taliban the name to have been targeted for torture or murder.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: Senator, by definition, these were in limited instances with a
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: bus or a group of people to get them through
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: a checkpoint.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: They got through the checkpoint.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: So not only did you fail to evacuate Americans and
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: green cardholes who were there, but you also brought in
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: tens of thousands of Afghans who had wholly inadequate vetting,
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: bringing many of them to the United States. And one
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: of the things that has done is that has brought
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: in a humanitarian crisis to America. Child marriage and domestic
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: abuse tragically are widespread in Afghanistan. According to the World
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: Health Organization, more than half of the women in Afghanistan
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: are married as child brides and ninety percent of women
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: are subject to domestic abuse ninety percent. On August twenty seventh,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: according to public reports, you distributed internal documentation highlighting numerous
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: instances and intake centers of sexual abuse in which much older,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: grown Afghan males appeared with children. Young children claimed they
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: were their brides, claimed they were their wives, and the
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: document said the State Department urgent requested guidance. That was
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: your word urgently. Subsequently, Department of Homeland Security said that
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: it showed the desperation of families that they were willing
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to give little girls to grown men to be subject
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: to sexual abuse and child wives. My questions as follows.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Did you receive that urgent guidance? How many children have
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: been subject to sexual abuse? What have you done to
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: rescue young children from illegal and abusive relationships? After being
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: brought to America by the State Department.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Across the entire government, everyone involved in the evacuation effort,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: whether it's at a transit point in one of the
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: countries that we negotiated with, whether it's here in the
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: United States at Dulles or Philadelphia or the military bases,
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: we have all of our officers at extreme vigilance to
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: look for and to deal with any cases or concerns
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: that he's.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: The urgent guidance And how many child.
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: Guides have you seen?
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: I don't know the specific guidance referring to I'm happy
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: to look, uh, to look at it.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: So is there not urgency to discover its abuse.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: As could we could detect and deal with at any cases?
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: And there have been, to my knowledge a limited number
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: of cases where we have separated people because we were concerned.
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: The cases I'm aware of a handful.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I think it's a really important point here, Senator, that
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: we are now dealing with the reality of this situation,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: and that is this was more than just a national
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: security threat. This was a threat to so many Americans.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: It's not just terrorism. It's also what you just described there.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, this is related. We have covered on
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: Verdict before the the incredible epidemic of child rapes from
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: pakistanis in the United Kingdom and the United Kingdoms turning
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a blind eye to to this this pattern, this this
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: massive challenge of young children, young girls being raped tragically
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: in Afghanistan. That is also a very real problem. The
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: statistics on child brides are horrifying. Ninety percent of women
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: reported to have been subject to domestic abuse. And understand,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: when the Taliban was taking over in Afghanistan, there were
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: families that were desperate, and so they would have a
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: little girl, a seven eight nine year old girl that
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: they would give to a grown man who was getting
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: on a plane and say here, take her as your wife,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: to get her out of here. And that little girl
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: would would then be raped for the rest of her life.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: And the Biden State Department, they knew it was going on,
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: but they didn't act to stop it. And understand, this
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: is ideology at play. Everyone not everyone. Many of those
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: who manned the Biden administration were alums of the Obama administration.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Under the Obama administration, I chaired a hearing because the
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: Obama White House had sent out a written guidance to
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: the Department of Homeland Security to urge and they use
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: the word purge any reference to radical Islam or the
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Muslim Brotherhood or jihad and as a result, DHS either
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: edited or deleted more than eight hundred of their records
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: or racing references to radical Islam, Muslim brotherhood Jahad and
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: you know what, And then miraculously, later on when you
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: had a terror attack, they'd say, but we have no
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: record that this is connected to radical Islam. It's like, well,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: because you had a purge and you deleted all the records. Ideologically,
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: those same left wing ideologues that were in the Obama
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: administration they went forward to the Bided administration. And so
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: it's a reason why if they've got people who are
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: American allies. You heard Tony blink and say, oh yeah, well,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: we would give lists of them to the Taliban. What
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: could possibly be wrong? And it's a fundamental misunderstanding. It's
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: also bizarrely, look, Democrats claim they care about women's rights, Well,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: it turns out that is not true when it's dealing
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: with women or girls being raped by radical Islamists. That
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: for them, in their Marxist hierarchy of oppression, being Palestinian,
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: being Taliban, being Isis is much more oppressed than being women.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: So women's rights go out the window in the leftist hierarchy.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: But it's not just the child brides and the humanitarian
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: victims from Afghanistan. It is the very real risk of
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: terror attacks here. I want to play this podcast Verdict
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: in September of twenty twenty one. Here's what we were
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: covering un Verdict in September twenty one. Give a listen.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: So everyone assumes the camps where the evacuees are taken
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: are secure facilities. Process they're wide open and they are
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: free to go anywhere they want, and the Biden administration
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: apparently doesn't care if these are adult men with little
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: girls who they are sexually assaulting. The vetting is so
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: half asked that there is a very real risk that
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: if even one or two Jihads are in the mix,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: that we could see a suicide bomb like we saw
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: in Afghanistan, but in an American mall or restaurant.
• 18:08
  Speaker 7: If they're letting people hop on these planes who have
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: been convicted of crimes in the United States, it's surely
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: the vetting is not top notch. And it's not as
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: though they're only going to Fort blizz They're going all
• 18:20
  Speaker 7: around the country.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: By the way, it's spot on, they're going all around
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: the country. Fast forward to literally what we're dealing with
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: now in this administration where they're like, well, okay, yeah,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: we had this attack, and oh there's another guy that
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was talking about want to do another attack. But hey,
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: at least we can somehow Jedi mind trick you into
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: believing that somehow this is Donald Trump's fault, because that's
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: what the media did at first. And I think you've
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: got to connect these dots her center. The media is
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: trying to say that these National guardsmen that got shot,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: one of them has died as the time we are
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: doing this, it happened. They're trying to say because of
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump rewriting the history and the warnings going back
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: to as we just played there for September of twenty
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: twenty one on this exact thing happening in reality.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah. At the same time, I wrote an op ed
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and Fox News where I said, unfortunately, I believe we
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: will see American blood spilled because of these foolish mistakes,
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: and I went on to say the truth is that
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the Taliban doesn't want to be welcomed into the community
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: of civilized nations. They are vicious terrorists who want to
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: kill us. Unfortunately, because of the catastrophic mistakes the Biden
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: administration made in Afghanistan. We are much more at risk
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: for deadly attacks by the Taliban or Al Qaeda, which
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Pentagon officials estimate could regroup in Afghanistan in the next
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: year or two. It's a disgrace and the fault lies
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: directly with President Joe Biden and his administration. This was
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: obvious at the time. And look you heard on that
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: clip in September twenty one, I'm talking about seeing the
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: Donyana tent facility. When I showed up there, I was like, well,
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: are there any fences around it? No? Is there any bearer?
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: They're like none, This is not a prison facility. And
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: it was a one star general who was taking me
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: around with the helicopter. And I'm like, well, you know
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: what happens. You're saying anyone can leave. He's like, yeah,
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: they're not detained. This is just we're just offering them housing.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Think of this like an apartment complex. They can't stay here.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: If they want or if they want to go somewhere else,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: they can go. They can go somewhere else. And I yeah,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: And I asked the Army, are y'all doing any vetting here?
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: That they said no, no, no, The State Department does that Afghanistan,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: so it's all done before they get there. So they
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: got ten thousand people there and who knows where they went.
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: They don't keep a record of them that they don't
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: ask where do you go? I mean, that's part of
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: the infuriating problem that the Biden administration invited into this country. Islamists,
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: terrorists who explicitly want to murder us. And by the way,
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: you know what is unbelievable is the shooting in d
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: C was one of two yeah Afghans who were arrested
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: this week for threatening violence. Another one happened in Texas.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: Here's one report from Breitbart. An Afghan national admitted to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: the United States under President Biden's Operation Allies Welcome Resettlement
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: program was arrested this week after posting a TikTok video
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: in which he appeared to be building a bomb and
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: referenced Fort Worth as a target, according to the Department
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: of Homeland Security. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: McLaughlin reported the arrest of Mohammed da wood Alo Kase,
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: saying he allegedly posted a video on TikTok threatening to
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: blow up a building in Fort Worth, Texas with a bomb.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: The Texas Department of Public Safety of the FBI Joint
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: Terrorism Task Force teamed up to make the arrest on
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: charges of making terroristic threats. This is happening, and by
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the way, it continues to be. Alo Kase is an
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Afghan national who was pardoned into the United States by
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: the Biden administration. His arrest came one day prior to
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: the a vicious attack on two West Virginia National Guard
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: soldiers in Washington, d c. By another Afghan national. This pattern,
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: when you let people in, you don't vet them. This
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: violence and this terrorism is predictable. And you had a
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: combination of a for four years, an open southern border,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: so any Hamas or HESBLO or other terrorists could come
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: in through the southern border.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: By the way, let's see you for a second, because Sara,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: you're just brougham saying I wanted to ask you about
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: a moment ago, and before I do that, I want
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: to tell you about our friends at Compassion International. I
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: want you to just pause what you're doing for the
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: next sixty seconds, and I want you to imagine Lucy,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: a seven year old Her stomach often aches with hunger
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: her small hands instead of holding crayons. Now only the
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: struggle of survival on dusty streets. School is a distant dream,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: medical care forgotten hope. Lucy's potential is overshadowed, her future
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: is dim. But what if if someone stepped in? What
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: if there was a way to ignite hope for children
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: just like Lucy? Well there is, and that is with
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Compassion International Partners and the local churches that provide children
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: holistic support more than just food. They receive critical medical care,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: life changing education, vital skills training, and spiritual development, all
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: in Jesus's name. And you can empower a child just
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: like Lucy to break free from poverty. I want you
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to do what I've done and sponsor a child today.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: You can visit Compassion dot com. That's Compassion dot com.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: You combine what we're witnessing now with what you just mentioned.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: Center At the Southern border, we knew for a fact
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: that people on the Terrace watch list were coming across
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: our southern border, the same border that when Texas tried
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: to secure it, the federal government said no, no, We're going
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: to use forklists to raise up the Bob Weier to
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: let more people, and we have that on video, we
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: talk about that on verdict. They knew that people were
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: getting it on the terrorists watch list, people that wanted
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to kill Americans. Well, they knew there was a real
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: threat of sleeper cells in this country coming from multiple.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: Places around the world. And there still is. Al Shabab
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: exactly still is.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: And you combine that with this, and you sit there
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and you go basically they said, look, we know people
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: are gonna die, but we want an open border. We
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: know terroifts are coming in, we know they're on the
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: watch list. We know we're catching some of them. There's
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: a lot of guidaw ways that we don't catch. This
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: is just the cost of doing business. There will be
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: human carbage of American citizens', abusive children, the rape of children,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the sex traffigany of children. There will be murderers and
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: all sorts of people in this country. We know that
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: it's worth it to flood America with illlegal immigrants. That
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: was a calculated decision they made.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It was and the two occurred simultaneously. So one on
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: the one hand, they're opening the southern border and letting
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: anyone come in, yep. But on the other hand, they're
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: affirmatively flying ten of thousands of Afghans. And by the way,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: we don't have any firm numbers in terms of how
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: many they brought in. In terms of vetting, you know,
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: you don't have anyone from the Biden administration saying, oh, yeah,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: we thoroughly vetted this guy before we brought him here,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: because their view was there was nothing to vet. If
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: they're bringing a fifty year old dude with an eight
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: year old girl that he says is his wife, that
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: shows you how utterly incompetent the vetting is. That they
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: just didn't care. Ideologically, they believed, well, their culture apparently
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: it's okay to rape little girls, and and so they
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: certainly were not asking engaging in the serious vetting. And
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: it's difficult. Look, one of the problems with vetting a
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: place like Afghanistan is there are limited records, and so
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: that's not an easy task. And my view, unless you
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: can conclusively determine that this person is not a terror threat,
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: we should not be bringing him to America. And so,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: but the Biden administration I don't believe was even trying
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: to vet them in any serious way. They were just
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: bringing in numbers because this was all about politics rather
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: than the substance of keeping America safe.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Centat, there's also let's go back in time and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: just remind people of what happened in this country last year.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: It deals with Rashida Leib the radicals of the left,
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: and we're going to play that for you in a moment.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: But before we do that, I got to tell you
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: about an amazing opportunity for all of you that listen
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: to Verdict and is to take some amazing classes from
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Hillsdale College right now for free. They have over forty
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: different classes that they are offering to Verdict listeners.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say it again, for free.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: These are classes like on the Book of Genesis or
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: on the Constitution. It is truly incredible what they're offering.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: And there's so much confusion in the world today that
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: it can be hard to find clarity and truth. And
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that is also why Hillsdale College has got a new
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: mini series on Colonial America off bring a powerful reminder
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: that the first Americans, we're searching for the same things.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: They believed faith and reason and revealed God's design for
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the world, and the understanding became the foundation of their
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: courage and our freedom. It's an amazing look at the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: idea is that still hold us together today. And the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: new Hillsdale College miniseries on Colonial America offers a fresh
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: way to think about Thanksgiving as well, beyond the food
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: and the political debates. It reminds us what we should
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: truly be thankful for this holiday season. Our freedom, our prosperity,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: and our faith. So combine that with forty free online courses.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Courses on C. S.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Lewis courses on the Book of Genesis, the Rise and
• 27:41

• 27:44
  Speaker 1: learn more now than ever before and it will not
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: cost you a dime. This is a way for me
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: to say thank you to you guys listening, and you

  Speaker 1: can take these classes at your own pace. So go

• 28:03
  Speaker 1: dot edu slash verdict to and roll for free Hillsdale
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: dot edu slash verdict to en roll right now. All right, Santa,
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: I want to go back to a little over a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: year ago, and let's just remind people of the Democratic
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Party and also how we got to the point that
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: we're at right now.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: Well, this just shows the overlap we were talking about
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: before that Ideologically, Today's Democrat Party refuses to acknowledge the
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: threat of radical Islamic terrorism, refuses to acknowledge radical Islam
• 28:33
  Speaker 3: and that it is fundamentally anti American. And so in
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: April twenty four, there were protesters in Dearborn, Michigan for
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: the and it was the International Al Kudds Day rally
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: where they began chanting death to America. And when that happened, so,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Dearborn Michigan is in Rashida to Leeds district. She is
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: the member of Congress that represents Dearborn Michigan. You have
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: a rally interdistrict channing death to America. And Fox News
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: quite reasonably came and asked her if she would condemn that. Uh,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: give a watch and give a listen to how she responded,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: I love.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Their regard.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Red red love.
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Not a great look.
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: The mayor condemned it, the White House condemned it. But
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: what about Congresswoman Rashida to leave she Repsteerborn. Is she
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: okay with her constituents chanting death to America? Fox Business
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: correspondent Hillary Vaughan asked her watch congressmenan.
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: To Lee Fox News, I don't talk to Fox Snood.
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: At a rally in your district, people were chanting death
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: to America? Do you condemn talk to Fox News?
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Do you condemn chance of death to America?
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: I don't talk to people that use racist trunks.
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: Why can't you just say whether or not you condemn
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: people chanting death to me?
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: Why are you afraid to talk to Fox News? Is
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: not listen using racist tropes?
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Where us?
• 30:02
  Speaker 6: My community is what fox shoos is about? And I
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: don't talk to Fox News. Is death to America? Racists?
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Is chanting death to America?
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Racist?
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: Talking about your guys racist tropes. You know, you guys
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: know exactly what you do. I know you're from Polk,
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: but you guys gotta go deal with it. You're on
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: your own self. You're not gonna use me.
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: All right, Sinner.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: You go back to that, and it's just one of
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: those moments where the warning signs are there, where we
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: tell you that these warning signs are there, and then
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: it happens, and I hate it that it happens, but
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it's so predictable.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Now, you know.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: It reminds me when when Obama was president, John Carey
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: was Secretary of State. There was an editorial cartoon and
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: it had the Iotolin Iran going death to America, and
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: it had John Carey saying, well, can we meet you halfway? Yeah,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: that's the ideological incoherence. Look, when you walk down the
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: halls of Congress, and you've been there with me, ben
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: reporters stop you all the time. By the way, I
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: answer questions from Fox News, I answer questions from CNN,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: I answer questions New York Times, I answer questions from
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: every lefty outlet, just walking along, because if you know
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: what you believe, I gotta say, that's not a gotcha question.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: It's not a difficult question. Do you support death to America?
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: If you are a member of the United States Congress,
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: the Congress of the United States of America, one would
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: think it ought to be easy to say, Yeah, of
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: course death to America is wrong. I'm against that. That
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: should not be difficult for anyone. It speaks volumes that
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Rashida Talib was unwilling to even condemn chance of death
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: to America in her own congressional district. That shows just
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: how dangerous the ideological rod is and tragically, we saw
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: the very real consequences of that ideological rod in letting
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: unvetted Afghan Afghan immigrants into this country, one of whom
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: just murdered one DC National Guardsman and may have murdered
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: a second. We pray that he survives, but at this
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: point our prayers are with him because we don't know
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: if he's going to survive the horrific attack.
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly incredible. We're gonna keep you updated on
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: this subject. I can promise you don't forget. We do
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: the show Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We also do it
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: on video a lot on YouTube, So you can follow
• 32:22
