Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Terror Attack in Colorado-Intifada Comes to America plus Ukraine Takes out 41 Russian Bombers in Clandestine Drone Attack
Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Good Monday morning, so nice to have you with us
- 0:03Speaker 1: here on Verdict, with Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you
- 0:06Speaker 1: and Senator. It was a very big weekend when it
- 0:09Speaker 1: came to news a horrific attack in Colorado, and also
- 0:13Speaker 1: a lot going on with Ukraine and Russia.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Well.
- 0:16Speaker 3: Tragically, the radical anti American anti Israel left keeps getting worse,
- 0:20Speaker 3: keeps getting more violence. We saw two weeks ago to
- 0:25Speaker 3: Israeli supporters, people who worked in the Israeli consulate in Washington,
- 0:31Speaker 3: d C. Murdered on the streets of DC, murdered by
- 0:35Speaker 3: a radical leftist who screamed free Palestine. And then just
- 0:39Speaker 3: this weekend we saw five people in Colorado who were
- 0:42Speaker 3: engaged in a pro Israel protest speaking up for the hostages,
- 0:46Speaker 3: calling on Hamas to release the hostages, saying enough is enough,
- 0:50Speaker 3: and a deranged lunatic fire bombed them through Molotov cocktails
- 0:56Speaker 3: at them, lit them on fire. It was tragic at
- 0:59Speaker 3: this point, little past.
- 1:00Speaker 4: Midnight Sunday night.
- 1:02Speaker 3: What we know right now is five people are reported
- 1:04Speaker 3: to be injured too, with very serious injuries. And this
- 1:09Speaker 3: is sadly the face of the angry anti American left
- 1:14Speaker 3: and the angry anti Israel left. They are violent and
- 1:17Speaker 3: far too often that they are committing acts of enormous
- 1:22Speaker 3: violence and even murder. And this pattern the media apologizes
- 1:27Speaker 3: for them, whitewashes that what they do covers up for them.
- 1:32Speaker 4: But Verdict is not going to do that.
- 1:34Speaker 3: We're going to give you the facts. We also have
- 1:37Speaker 3: in Russia and Ukraine. An extraordinary moment, Ukraine strikes back.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Ukraine launched on audacious drone attack on Russia. They took
- 1:47Speaker 3: out more than forty Russian bombers deep inside Russian territory.
- 1:52Speaker 3: It was it was an attack that was meticulously panned out.
- 1:56Speaker 3: It is similar to Israel's attack on Hezbala with the pagers,
- 2:01Speaker 3: and that it took enormous preparation to carry out and
- 2:05Speaker 3: it was remarkably effective. Hopefully this attack will accelerate ending
- 2:11Speaker 3: the war in Ukraine and it may bring Russia to
- 2:15Speaker 3: the bargaining table to say enough is enough.
- 2:17Speaker 1: Yeah, and that may, like you said, be one of
- 2:19Speaker 1: the silver linings of this attack. And it took a
- 2:23Speaker 1: long time for them to plant in preparation for it.
- 2:26Speaker 1: We'll give you those details as well in a moment.
- 2:29Speaker 1: Let me tell you real quick about Patriot Mobile. You've
- 2:31Speaker 1: heard me talk about Patriot Mobile for a while, and
- 2:34Speaker 1: you probably already know that. For years, they've stood in
- 2:37Speaker 1: the gap for every American that believes that freedom is
- 2:40Speaker 1: actually worth fighting for.
- 2:41Speaker 4: They're the real deal.
- 2:43Speaker 1: So let me ask you this question, why haven't you
- 2:45Speaker 1: switched to Patriot Mobile yet?
- 2:48Speaker 4: Now?
- 2:48Speaker 1: If the answer is no, then I got to ask you, like,
- 2:51Speaker 1: why why have you not done it?
- 2:52Speaker 4: Are you worried about coverage? You shouldn't be.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile is one of the few cell phone service
- 2:58Speaker 1: providers actually operate on all three of the major networks
- 3:03Speaker 1: in this country. The fact is, if you have cell
- 3:06Speaker 1: phone service in where you are right now, you're gonna
- 3:09Speaker 1: get exceptional or even better service with Patriot Mobile. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: that's why they offer a coverage guarantee that others just can't.
- 3:17Speaker 4: Or maybe you.
- 3:17Speaker 1: Haven't joined Patriot Mobile because you think making the switch
- 3:20Speaker 1: is just too painful, too hard. I'm here to tell
- 3:23Speaker 1: you I've done it.
- 3:23Speaker 4: It's not. In fact, it's incredibly easy.
- 3:25Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, there's no need to spend hours
- 3:29Speaker 1: in a retail store waiting your turn. You simply call
- 3:32Speaker 1: Patriot Mobiles. One hundred percent US based team from the
- 3:36Speaker 1: comfort of your home or your office and they'll have

- 3:54Speaker 1: it goes back to my point, what are you waiting for?

- 4:26Speaker 1: let's talk about the two narratives coming out of this
- 4:29Speaker 1: attack in Colorado. There's many that are wanting this to
- 4:32Speaker 1: just be some random attack and you know, kind of
- 4:34Speaker 1: move on. They don't want you to know the facts.
- 4:37Speaker 1: They don't want you to know how the person got
- 4:39Speaker 1: into this country. They don't want you to know who
- 4:40Speaker 1: let him in this country. They don't want you to
- 4:42Speaker 1: know he over state a visa. They don't want you
- 4:44Speaker 1: to know he's a legal immigrant, and they don't want
- 4:46Speaker 1: you to know that he was an anti Israel individual
- 4:48Speaker 1: that was trying to or not trying setting elderly Jewish
- 4:53Speaker 1: individuals who do this walk every week to remember the
- 4:57Speaker 1: hostages being held by Hamas. They do this every week,
- 5:01Speaker 1: and they and he deliberately was trying to set them
- 5:04Speaker 1: on fire and kill them.
- 5:06Speaker 4: Well, and let's set the stage.
- 5:08Speaker 3: This is in Boulder, Colorado. It was a weekly event
- 5:11Speaker 3: called Run for Their Lives and it was a weekly
- 5:14Speaker 3: gathering of Jewish community leaders that that that was supporting
- 5:19Speaker 3: the hostages that were taken on October seventh and calling
- 5:22Speaker 3: for their release from from Hamas. So it was a
- 5:24Speaker 3: peaceful protest. But I'll tell you what people knew. People
- 5:28Speaker 3: knew that at the time of this this protest, there
- 5:30Speaker 3: were going to be Jews there. There were going to
- 5:32Speaker 3: be Jews who supported Israel. And the hate of the
- 5:35Speaker 3: anti Israel that left, the hate of the anti America
- 5:39Speaker 3: anti Israel left is so great that simply knowing that
- 5:43Speaker 3: there were Jews who were present somewhere, sadly in those
- 5:46Speaker 3: radical circles. It has proven to be an invitation to violence.
- 5:50Speaker 3: And in this instance, the man threw multiple bottles filled
- 5:55Speaker 3: with flammable liquids that hit hit the ground, that exploded
- 5:58Speaker 3: in flames uh and and burned multiple people. Now you
- 6:03Speaker 3: and I are are describing this at just after midnight
- 6:06Speaker 3: Sunday night, and so the event is incredibly recent. So
- 6:10Speaker 3: I want to give a caveat that. Inevitably, when you
- 6:13Speaker 3: have a bad event, there there is a fog of war.
- 6:15Speaker 4: Some of the facts that.
- 6:16Speaker 3: Are being reported today will prove less than accurate. But
- 6:20Speaker 3: on the face of this, it is obviously a terror attack.
- 6:24Speaker 3: It is not complicated to figure out who the targets were.
- 6:28Speaker 3: And yet I got to say, I want you to listen,
- 6:32Speaker 3: and the FBI, to their credits, said right from the beginning,
- 6:35Speaker 3: this is a targeted terror attack because they actually are
- 6:38Speaker 3: not ostriches with their heads plunged into the sand. I
- 6:42Speaker 3: want you to contrast this with the words of the
- 6:45Speaker 3: Bolder police chief UH, with which, if the topic weren't
- 6:48Speaker 3: so serious, they almost sound like a Saturday night Live skit.
- 6:52Speaker 4: Give a listen. Was an actual protest going on when
- 6:56Speaker 4: this occurred. Were a group of people gathered and for words.
- 7:00Speaker 2: Said that would indicate anything at all to do with
- 7:02Speaker 2: that protests. So what I will tell you on Pearl Street,
- 7:05Speaker 2: it's a walking pedestrian mall downtown here. There was a
- 7:07Speaker 2: lot of people out a very beautiful day. There was
- 7:10Speaker 2: a group of pro Israel people that were there in
- 7:14Speaker 2: a peaceful demonstration. I wouldn't even call it a protest.
- 7:17Speaker 2: I believe that happens frequently down here. They were there
- 7:20Speaker 2: in that area. We are looking and actively interviewing victims
- 7:23Speaker 2: and witnesses to determine if that group was targeted or others,
- 7:27Speaker 2: and we just don't have those answers yet. Those are
- 7:29Speaker 2: things we helped to be able to provide you later
- 7:31Speaker 2: this evening. FBI is already calling it a targeted terror attick.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Would you also refer to it as a terror attack?
- 7:37Speaker 2: So I've been in contact with our local FBI multiple times.
- 7:41Speaker 2: We are in contact with them here. We are not
- 7:43Speaker 2: calling it a terror attack at this point. Again, it's
- 7:45Speaker 2: way too early to speculate motive. I know there's a
- 7:48Speaker 2: lot out there on social media, but I ask people
- 7:50Speaker 2: just to give us a little bit of patience while
- 7:51Speaker 2: we work through a really complex scene. A lot of
- 7:55Speaker 2: witnesses were here. We've taken them to another location to
- 7:58Speaker 2: debrief them and interview them. As you do that, I
- 8:00Speaker 2: think the picture will become more clear, but it would
- 8:03Speaker 2: be it would be irresponsible for me to speculate on
- 8:06Speaker 2: motive this early on. We're only a couple hours into
- 8:08Speaker 2: the seams. Can you compre the description about him, because
- 8:14Speaker 2: we know any picture running the media, I haven't seen it,
- 8:19Speaker 2: and obviously I wasn't here when he was arrested. All
- 8:21Speaker 2: I know is it's an adult male. We're working to
- 8:23Speaker 2: identify that person. We're working to figure out where they're from.
- 8:26Speaker 2: Uh and we're in contact with our federal partners as
- 8:28Speaker 2: well as we figure that out.
- 8:30Speaker 1: It is amazing to hear the Boulder Police chief put
- 8:33Speaker 1: it this way and clearly doing it, saying the FBI
- 8:37Speaker 1: is the one that's overreacting, calling this a terrorist tack. Clearly,
- 8:41Speaker 1: I'm not going with those guys over there. Cash, Mattel
- 8:44Speaker 1: and Bongino come out very early on and saying, quote,
- 8:48Speaker 1: it wouldn't be helpful, implying the FBI's like amateur hour
- 8:51Speaker 1: at this moment.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, this sadly is woke politics. If you have
- 8:57Speaker 3: Jews who are standing and protesting favor of hostages in Israel,
- 9:02Speaker 3: taken in October seventh, a weekly recurring event where everyone knows,
- 9:07Speaker 3: and by the way, this police chief knows, there is
- 9:10Speaker 3: vicious terrorism and anti Semitism directed at Jews, directed at
- 9:14Speaker 3: supporters of Israel, and they threw molotov cocktails on them.
- 9:18Speaker 3: That this is not subtle. This is not someone tripped
- 9:22Speaker 3: and accidentally hit them. This is not a random draft
- 9:24Speaker 3: drive by shooting of two gangs we're shooting at each
- 9:27Speaker 3: other and a stray bullet hit someone. I mean, this
- 9:30Speaker 3: is multiple molotov cocktails directed at a very specific, concrete
- 9:36Speaker 3: group of people. And so the FBI is obviously right
- 9:40Speaker 3: in calling it terrorism. I mean this same knucklehead, By
- 9:43Speaker 3: the way, it reminded me of at the tail end
- 9:45Speaker 3: of the Biden administration when you had the deranged radical
- 9:49Speaker 3: Islamic terrorists drive a car into a crowd in New Orleans.
- 9:53Speaker 3: He was flying an ISIS flag, and yet the local
- 9:58Speaker 3: FBI person there said, well, we don't know that it's terrorism.
- 10:01Speaker 3: You know what if a guy drives a jeep with
- 10:03Speaker 3: an ISIS flag into a crowd and murders people, it's terrorism.
- 10:07Speaker 3: You don't need a deep subtle analysis to tell. And
- 10:11Speaker 3: let me give you another fact that miraculously the corporate
- 10:15Speaker 3: media is omitting. Bill Malujin that the very best reporter
- 10:19Speaker 3: at Fox he reported tonight quote breaking. Three senior DHS
- 10:24Speaker 3: sources tell Fox News that the Bolder terror suspect is
- 10:28Speaker 3: an Egyptian national in the US illegally as a visa
- 10:33Speaker 3: overstay who entered the US during the Biden administration. I'm
- 10:38Speaker 3: told Mohammed Sabree Soloman arrived at lax on eight twenty seven,
- 10:44Speaker 3: twenty two on a B one slash B two non
- 10:47Speaker 3: immigrant visa with an authorized stay through two twenty six,
- 10:52Speaker 3: twenty three, but he overstayed and never left.
- 10:57Speaker 4: I'm told on nine.
- 11:00Speaker 3: Two he filed some sort of claim with USCIS, potentially
- 11:06Speaker 3: an asylum claim, and on three twenty nine, twenty three,
- 11:11Speaker 3: USCIS under Biden gave him work authorization, which expired on
- 11:17Speaker 3: three twenty eight, twenty five. Understand, assuming this reporting is right,
- 11:22Speaker 3: this guy was an illegal immigrant who came from Egypt.
- 11:26Speaker 3: He overstated his visa, which made him illegal, and the
- 11:29Speaker 3: Biden administration allowed him to stay. They allowed someone to
- 11:33Speaker 3: stay who now is charged with and appears to have
- 11:36Speaker 3: committed throwing molotov cocktails at at peaceful Jewish protesters standing
- 11:43Speaker 3: up for hostages. It's also been reported one of the
- 11:46Speaker 3: victims of this firebombing was a Holocaust survivor. This is
- 11:52Speaker 3: the consequence of Joe Biden, the Democrat's open borders. When
- 11:56Speaker 3: you let terrorists into the country. Shockingly, they emit acts
- 12:00Speaker 3: of terrorism.
- 12:01Speaker 1: There's also another aspect of this that the media is
- 12:04Speaker 1: refusing to touch, and that is the age of the
- 12:08Speaker 1: people that were targeted by this individual.
- 12:11Speaker 4: They were elderly. Yeah, they were doing this every week.
- 12:15Speaker 1: They were committed to not forgetting those that are being
- 12:19Speaker 1: held hostage. Right now, you just mentioned one of the
- 12:21Speaker 1: Maholocaust survivor. It's being reported, and yet the media doesn't
- 12:27Speaker 1: want to talk about how barbaric the attack is. That
- 12:29Speaker 1: these are senior citizens seventies and eighties, who were targeted
- 12:34Speaker 1: because they were obviously easier to target because of their age.
- 12:39Speaker 3: Well and listen, in the last two months, we've seen
- 12:43Speaker 3: elderly Jewish protesters firebombed with molotov cocktails. We've seen a
- 12:48Speaker 3: young Jewish couple executed leaving a Jewish museum in DC,
- 12:53Speaker 3: and as we talked about in a prior podcast that
- 12:57Speaker 3: that couple had publicly said they meant at an event
- 13:01Speaker 3: where I was speaking that they I don't believe I
- 13:05Speaker 3: had met that young couple, but it reduced me to
- 13:09Speaker 3: tears that they came to an event where I was
- 13:11Speaker 3: giving a speech on foreign policy, and that's where the
- 13:13Speaker 3: two of them met and got engaged, and tragically they
- 13:16Speaker 3: were murdered by a radical leftist who hates Israel, who
- 13:19Speaker 3: hates Jews, and hates America, and and and gunned them down,
- 13:24Speaker 3: and and and also within the last two months, we
- 13:26Speaker 3: had yet another radical who tried to burn down the
- 13:30Speaker 3: home of the governor of Pennsylvania who is Jewish, with
- 13:34Speaker 3: him and his family inside. These are multiple acts of
- 13:39Speaker 3: grotesque violence directed at Jews, directed at Israel, and the
- 13:45Speaker 3: corporate media will not cover it, and in fact, they
- 13:47Speaker 3: treated it as Oh, isn't this cute When you have
- 13:50Speaker 3: people at Harvard or m I t or Columbia calling
- 13:54Speaker 3: for intifada, Well, the intifada is here. This is intifada.
- 13:58Speaker 3: This is murdering people because they are Jews on the
- 14:01Speaker 3: streets that is into fada. And we saw this last
- 14:05Speaker 3: week commencement speeches at both Harvard and MIT, people give
- 14:10Speaker 3: radical anti Israel screeds because sadly our universities have welcomed
- 14:16Speaker 3: and nurtured this incredible evil.
- 14:19Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the also the response here from
- 14:22Speaker 1: the administration, and you look at just how quickly you
- 14:26Speaker 1: had clarity from those that are in charge. Cash Betel
- 14:32Speaker 1: coming out and looking again at the facts, and the
- 14:36Speaker 1: FBI director just straight up put it out there saying,
- 14:40Speaker 1: we are aware of and fully investigating a targeted tear
- 14:44Speaker 1: attack in Boulder, Colorado. Our agent and local law enforcement
- 14:49Speaker 1: on the scene already, and we will share updates as
- 14:52Speaker 1: more information becomes available. He was short in his words,
- 14:57Speaker 1: and and but letting it know this is a targeted attack.
- 15:01Speaker 1: You move a couple hours ahead, Dan Bongino. He comes
- 15:05Speaker 1: out and says, our leadership team on the ground and
- 15:08Speaker 1: Boulder will be updating you shortly on the attack in Boulder.
- 15:10Speaker 1: This act of terror is being investigated as an act
- 15:13Speaker 1: of ideologically motivated violence based on the early information, the evidence,
- 15:18Speaker 1: and witness accounts. We will speak clearly on these instants
- 15:22Speaker 1: when the facts warrant it. I find great peace in knowing, yes,
- 15:28Speaker 1: we finally have two individuals here, they're saying, we're not
- 15:31Speaker 1: playing politics.
- 15:32Speaker 4: We're going to tell you the truth.
- 15:34Speaker 3: Look, everyone knows what this is. It's not complicated. And
- 15:39Speaker 3: there are times there's times when a crime occurs and
- 15:42Speaker 3: you don't know why. I mean, sometimes someone's randomly shot
- 15:44Speaker 3: on the street, and it could be a crime of passion.
- 15:47Speaker 3: It could be a lover's quarrel, it could be a
- 15:50Speaker 3: robbery gone awry, it could be a totally crazy person.
- 15:54Speaker 3: Like there are all sorts of There are crimes where
- 15:57Speaker 3: it is difficult to ascertain what happened and you need
- 15:59Speaker 3: to have an invest and that's true at every instance,
- 16:02Speaker 3: but there are also crimes that are on the face
- 16:05Speaker 3: of this. Anybody who's not a blithering idiot knows what
- 16:08Speaker 3: this is. If you have elderly Jewish people walking along
- 16:12Speaker 3: holding signs saying free the hostages and Gaza, and someone
- 16:17Speaker 3: who is an illegal immigrant from Egypt throws a Molotov
- 16:20Speaker 3: cocktail at them, or multiple Molotov cocktails at them and
- 16:23Speaker 3: lights them on fire, that is not subtle. That doesn't
- 16:27Speaker 3: take Sherlock Holmes to figure out what's going on there.
- 16:31Speaker 3: When you have just two weeks ago, two Jewish people
- 16:35Speaker 3: walking out of a Jewish museum in DC, and you
- 16:38Speaker 3: have a radical leftist who screams free, free Palestine and
- 16:41Speaker 3: guns them down, emptying the magazine into them, firing shots
- 16:45Speaker 3: over and over and over again, and murdering them on
- 16:47Speaker 3: the streets. That is not subtle or complicated. It It
- 16:53Speaker 3: is straightforward. And those who seek to deny it and
- 16:57Speaker 3: say no, no, no, this is not intifada, this is
- 16:59Speaker 3: not antiic, this is not targeted terrorism. This we don't
- 17:02Speaker 3: know what this is. They're lying to you.
- 17:05Speaker 4: They know.
- 17:06Speaker 3: It's not that they don't know, it's that they don't
- 17:08Speaker 3: want to say it because acknowledging what it is conflicts
- 17:12Speaker 3: with their political ideology and their political agenda. And sadly
- 17:16Speaker 3: that is true for the overwhelming majority of the corporate media.
- 17:19Speaker 1: You and I have also talked about this, and this
- 17:21Speaker 1: brings in another aspect of this conversation, and it's the
- 17:25Speaker 1: one that concerns me, honestly the most, and that is
- 17:29Speaker 1: how many people came into this country during.
- 17:33Speaker 4: The last administration. Yes, yes, that are terrorists.
- 17:37Speaker 1: This was a terrorist that the last administration not only
- 17:39Speaker 1: let in, but then allowed them to overstay and then
- 17:42Speaker 1: rewarded them with the ability to take a job while
- 17:45Speaker 1: here planning this type of attack. I am terrified of
- 17:49Speaker 1: how many other terrorists we may be harboring right now
- 17:53Speaker 1: that they let in. How concerned are you now seeing
- 17:55Speaker 1: this play out the way?
- 17:56Speaker 4: It is?
- 17:57Speaker 3: Deeply, deeply concerned. I think the odds are overwhelming that
- 18:01Speaker 3: there is more to come. You know, I got to say,
- 18:03Speaker 3: during the Biden administration, you had Christopher Ray as the
- 18:06Speaker 3: head of the FBI. I've known Chris for over twenty
- 18:09Speaker 3: five years. Chris, I think made a lot of mistakes
- 18:12Speaker 3: ashead of the FBI. I do not think he had
- 18:14Speaker 3: a good tenure. But the one thing he did do
- 18:17Speaker 3: is he repeatedly went before Congress, particularly the last two years,
- 18:21Speaker 3: and tried to wring the alarm, tried tried to scream
- 18:24Speaker 3: from the mountaintops saying, are risks of a terror attack
- 18:27Speaker 3: right now are higher than they've ever been. These open borders, Hesblahamas,
- 18:32Speaker 3: Palestinian Islamic jihad, we are inviting terrorists into this country
- 18:37Speaker 3: and Americans are going to die because of it. That
- 18:40Speaker 3: is tragically true. The Trump administration, I think, is doing
- 18:43Speaker 3: a heroic job tracking down and trying to find these guys.
- 18:47Speaker 3: But when you have over twelve million people that Joe Biden,
- 18:50Speaker 3: Kamala Harris and all the Congressional Democrats invited into this country.
- 18:54Speaker 3: You can't turn that around overnight. That takes time and
- 18:58Speaker 3: the risks. The risks are that we will see unfortunately
- 19:03Speaker 3: more terror attacks in the weeks and months to come
- 19:07Speaker 3: as a result of the Democrats' open borders the last
- 19:09Speaker 3: four years.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Final question, will there ever be accountability for those that
- 19:14Speaker 1: willingly allowed this to happen in the Biden administration? Or
- 19:17Speaker 1: my orcis I mean, I go back to the famous
- 19:20Speaker 1: quote from him when he said the border is secure.
- 19:24Speaker 4: The border is secure.
- 19:25Speaker 1: We've all heard a million times that was a lie.
- 19:28Speaker 1: Then it's a lie. Now this is what was coming in.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Will there be any accountability or is it just Hey,
- 19:34Speaker 1: that's what they did and it is what it is.
- 19:37Speaker 3: Look I hope so may Orcus may be the most
- 19:41Speaker 3: dishonest individual to have ever served in the United States cabinet.
- 19:45Speaker 3: He routinely lied. He lied before Congress, he lied before
- 19:48Speaker 3: the American people. He'd go on TV every day and lie.
- 19:52Speaker 3: It's actually a close battle between him and Kareem John
- 19:54Speaker 3: Pierre at the White House Press Secretary, who also She
- 20:00Speaker 3: actually embodies the opposite of a backhanded compliment. Years ago,
- 20:04Speaker 3: when Bill Clinton was president, a backhanded compliment was said
- 20:07Speaker 3: of him that he's an unusually good liar. That probably
- 20:13Speaker 3: was true. Well, I got to say, Kareem Jean Pierre
- 20:16Speaker 3: and Alejandra Mayorcas are unusually bad liars, and sadly, it
- 20:22Speaker 3: didn't stop them from lying. They lied constantly. Every time
- 20:24Speaker 3: they open their mouths, they lied. But they were so
- 20:27Speaker 3: bad at it that everyone knew they were lying. Even
- 20:30Speaker 3: their cheerleaders knew they were lying. When Karane Jehan Pierre
- 20:32Speaker 3: said people aren't walking across the border, it's simply not happening.
- 20:35Speaker 3: That doesn't happen. Everybody who had ever opened their eyes
- 20:39Speaker 3: and turned on the television for ten seconds knew that that.
- 20:42Speaker 4: Was a lie.
- 20:42Speaker 3: She knew that that was a lie. Every reporter in
- 20:44Speaker 3: the room knew that was a lie. Then again, the
- 20:47Speaker 3: reporters at ABCNBCCBSC, and NMSNBC, Washington Post, New York Times,
- 20:52Speaker 3: they did not report that it was a lie. The
- 20:55Speaker 3: same is true with Alejandra Mayorcis. This was brazen. Understand
- 21:00Speaker 3: the presence of terrorists, the presence of murderers and rapists
- 21:05Speaker 3: and child molesters and Venezuelan gang members in this country.
- 21:08Speaker 3: It is not accident, it is not unintentional. It is
- 21:12Speaker 3: the intended result of the Democrats' open borders. Now, it's
- 21:17Speaker 3: not that they sat around saying we want more terrorists.
- 21:20Speaker 3: It's that they said, all we care about is politics.
- 21:25Speaker 3: If we let twelve million people here illegally, they will
- 21:28Speaker 3: become Democrats. They will vote Democrats, they will register illegally.
- 21:32Speaker 3: They will keep us in power. And so if the
- 21:35Speaker 3: price for Democrats to stay in power is more Americans
- 21:39Speaker 3: being murdered, more women being raped, more children being brutalized,
- 21:43Speaker 3: more terrorists committing acts of terror, I'm sorry to say
- 21:46Speaker 3: the Democrats were more than happy to take that exchange.
- 21:50Speaker 1: I want to move to the other big story, and
- 21:52Speaker 1: that is Ukraine claims a massive drone strike on Russia
- 21:59Speaker 1: and literally the country from one side the other. They
- 22:03Speaker 1: were hitting sites of Russian bombers and what was called
- 22:08Speaker 1: a spider web operation. I want to make sure though,
- 22:12Speaker 1: that people understand this was a response to an attack
- 22:18Speaker 1: that took place at the hands of Russia, and putin
- 22:22Speaker 1: that Donald Trump referred to him as a crazy man afterwards.
- 22:25Speaker 1: So Let's give the background before we explain what happened.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Well, listen, the war has been ongoing for more than
- 22:32Speaker 3: two years now. There's been massive casualties on both sides.
- 22:37Speaker 3: Russia is the aggressor. Russia, Russia is the wrongdoer. Putin
- 22:42Speaker 3: invaded Ukraine or another sovereign nation. Putin did so because
- 22:47Speaker 3: Joe Biden was so incredibly weak, because he was ineffective
- 22:50Speaker 3: commander in chief. Putin did so because Joe Biden waived
- 22:55Speaker 3: the sanctions on nord Stream two, the pipeline that was
- 22:58Speaker 3: designed to move natural gas directly from Russia to Germany.
- 23:02Speaker 3: I authored those sanctions, I passed them into law, and
- 23:06Speaker 3: President Trump signed my sanctions legislation into law. Putin shut
- 23:10Speaker 3: down Nordstream two literally the day Trump signed my sanctions
- 23:15Speaker 3: legislation into law. Biden waived those sanctions, and Putin completed
- 23:20Speaker 3: the pipeline and almost immediately invaded Ukraine. So the war
- 23:24Speaker 3: has been ongoing and it is the cause.
- 23:28Speaker 4: The cause of.
- 23:29Speaker 3: It is Biden's weakness. Well, what happened today Ukraine? You know,
- 23:33Speaker 3: I'll tell you. At the start of the war, I
- 23:35Speaker 3: remember sitting in a classified briefing and it was a
- 23:38Speaker 3: classified briefing with all one hundred senators, And we had
- 23:41Speaker 3: in that briefing with the Secretary of State, with the
- 23:43Speaker 3: Secretary of Defense, with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
- 23:45Speaker 3: of Staff, with the head of the CIA, the Director
- 23:48Speaker 3: of National Intelligence. We had multiple players throughout the national
- 23:52Speaker 3: security apparatus. This is all during the Biden administration. Every
- 23:56Speaker 3: single one of them briefed all of the senators. They said,
- 23:59Speaker 3: this war will be over within a week. Russia will
- 24:02Speaker 3: sweep in, they'll conquer the whole country. Ukraine will fall,
- 24:06Speaker 3: and within a week Kiev will be a Russian city.
- 24:09Speaker 3: Now that Intel, that national security assessment ben it wasn't
- 24:15Speaker 3: slightly wrong, It wasn't a teeny bit wrong. It was
- 24:19Speaker 3: totally catastrophically one hundred and eighty degrees false. We're sitting
- 24:23Speaker 3: here more than two years later, the war is ongoing
- 24:26Speaker 3: and the Ukrainians keep shocking both the Russians and the
- 24:31Speaker 3: American analysts who insists that they must lose, they must lose.
- 24:35Speaker 3: This latest strike, it truly is audacious. So the Ukrainians
- 24:39Speaker 3: hit more than forty Russian bombers inside Russian territory, and
- 24:46Speaker 3: it was a total of forty one strategic Russian aircraft.
- 24:49Speaker 3: The name of the operation was Spiderweb and you can
- 24:54Speaker 3: see online there's a video showing a drone attack at
- 24:58Speaker 3: the Belaya air Base in Russia's Irkust region, which is
- 25:03Speaker 3: in Siberia, nearly three thousand miles away from Ukraine. So
- 25:08Speaker 3: understand this happened not by Ukraine but three thousand miles away.
- 25:13Speaker 3: And the bombers they're under attack, their explosions, Smoke is
- 25:18Speaker 3: rising from the scene and one source said quote, preliminary
- 25:23Speaker 3: estimates indicate that enemy aviation has suffered over two billion
- 25:28Speaker 3: dollars in damage. Enemy strategic bombers are burning en mass
- 25:34Speaker 3: in Russia. That is a major attack. It is an
- 25:38Speaker 3: extraordinary attack. Now, that follows the night before Russia launched
- 25:45Speaker 3: four hundred and seventy two drones according to the Ukrainian
- 25:48Speaker 3: Air Force. Earlier on Sunday, Ukraine's army set a Russian
- 25:53Speaker 3: missile strike killed at least twelve Ukrainian service members and
- 25:57Speaker 3: injured sixty. So Russia has been very much it's the aggressor.
- 26:00Speaker 3: But this attack taking out major aircraft resources from Russia
- 26:07Speaker 3: is a big victory for Ukraine.
- 26:10Speaker 4: It is a big, big victory.
- 26:12Speaker 1: They are obviously worried individuals, especially in that part of
- 26:16Speaker 1: the world, that Russia will then now retalied in some
- 26:20Speaker 1: massive way, and then therefore blaming Ukraine saying you should
- 26:24Speaker 1: not have done this attack that took them a long
- 26:27Speaker 1: time to plan strategically. I want to get your response
- 26:31Speaker 1: to that, because there does seem to be quite often
- 26:34Speaker 1: that when Ukraine does something, the narrative becomes, well, they're
- 26:38Speaker 1: the ones that will bring us to the brink of
- 26:40Speaker 1: World War III, because now Russia is going to respond
- 26:44Speaker 1: and it's actually their fault that they went over the
- 26:46Speaker 1: top on this one.
- 26:48Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 26:48Speaker 3: Look, Russia has been the aggressor from the beginning. Ukraine
- 26:51Speaker 3: is defending itself. I want to break down how they
- 26:54Speaker 3: carry this out because it's actually this is the stuff
- 26:56Speaker 3: of spy novels.
- 26:57Speaker 2: You know.
- 26:58Speaker 3: We talked about when Israel struck back against Hezbolah with
- 27:01Speaker 3: first the pagers and then with the walkie talkies. That
- 27:04Speaker 3: was an extraordinary story. This has similar aspects. It's like
- 27:09Speaker 3: something out of Mission Impossible of the born identity and
- 27:13Speaker 3: let me read from its historian, Reuters the specific facts.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Here's what Reuters reported to attack Russian air bases Ukrainian
- 27:21Speaker 3: spies hid drones in wooden sheds. Ukrainian secret services were
- 27:28Speaker 3: able to attack strategic bomber aircraft at Russian air bases
- 27:31Speaker 3: on Sunday by hiding explosive laden drones inside the roofs
- 27:37Speaker 3: of wooden sheds, according to a Ukrainian security official. Ukraine's
- 27:43Speaker 3: domestic security agency, the SBU, acknowledged that it carried out
- 27:47Speaker 3: the operation code named Spider's Web, and said that it
- 27:50Speaker 3: caused considerable damage. The sheds were loaded onto trucks that
- 27:55Speaker 3: were driven to the perimeter of the air bases. The
- 27:59Speaker 3: roof panels of the sheds were lifted off by a
- 28:03Speaker 3: remotely activated mechanism, allowing the drones to fly out and
- 28:07Speaker 3: begin their attack, the official set. The security official, who
- 28:11Speaker 3: spoken on conditions of anonymity, said the strikes conducted on
- 28:14Speaker 3: Sunday were on four air bases and that forty one
- 28:19Speaker 3: Russian warplanes were hit. An SBU statement posted on the
- 28:23Speaker 3: telegram messaging app estimated the damages caused by the assault
- 28:27Speaker 3: at seven billion dollars. And here's a quote. Thirty four
- 28:32Speaker 3: percent of strategic cruise missile carriers at the main airfields
- 28:36Speaker 3: of the Russian Federation were hit.
- 28:39Speaker 4: Wow, that is remarkable.
- 28:43Speaker 3: And it is the fact that they could carry it
- 28:45Speaker 3: out in wooden sheds, that they could smuggle right next
- 28:48Speaker 3: to the Russian airfield. That's a significant tactical and strategic victory.
- 28:54Speaker 1: So when you look at this, what is the best
- 28:57Speaker 1: case scenario for this attack? Does it make Russia realize
- 29:01Speaker 1: A They're vulnerable and B maybe we need to we
- 29:05Speaker 1: need to go back to the table because as you
- 29:07Speaker 1: heard President Trump say, he said Putin was crazy last week,
- 29:12Speaker 1: a crazy man and refusing to actually stop this war.
- 29:16Speaker 1: Instead he went on this big attack in Ukraine. Ukraine responds, Yeah.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Look, I think President Trump is deeply frustrated with Vlatimir Putin.
- 29:24Speaker 3: Right now, President Trump wants this war to end. I
- 29:28Speaker 3: believe this war will end. It will end this year.
- 29:31Speaker 3: And one of the reasons it's going to end is
- 29:33Speaker 3: I think the United States Congress is done sending money
- 29:36Speaker 3: to Ukraine, that that at this point we have sent
- 29:39Speaker 3: over one hundred billion dollars. Enough is enough.
- 29:41Speaker 4: This war needs to end.
- 29:43Speaker 3: So the blank checkbook that Joe Biden the Democrats gave
- 29:46Speaker 3: that blank checkbook is done. Now what I believe is
- 29:50Speaker 3: it needs to end in a negotiated settlement, and it
- 29:53Speaker 3: should end in a way that is a clear and
- 29:56Speaker 3: objectively discernible loss for Russia. Put is our enemy. Russia
- 30:01Speaker 3: is our enemy, and we want we want our enemies
- 30:04Speaker 3: to be weaker and not stronger. How this ends exactly,
- 30:09Speaker 3: it's going to depend on Zelensky and Putin. Zelensky right
- 30:13Speaker 3: now doesn't want to negotiate a piece. He's looking to
- 30:17Speaker 3: fight and defend his country. I understand that he just
- 30:19Speaker 3: doesn't have an entitlement for us to pay for it.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Putin Putin right now, Trump believe that if he leaned in,
- 30:26Speaker 3: Putin would agree to come to the table and seek
- 30:29Speaker 3: terms of peace. At least so far he hasn't. It
- 30:32Speaker 3: is possible this devastating strike on Russia will change Russia's calculus.
- 30:37Speaker 3: That being said, look, one of the dangerous things about
- 30:40Speaker 3: fighting a dictatorship is that Putin can inflict enormous pain
- 30:45Speaker 3: and misery on the Russian citizenry and still stay in power.
- 30:48Speaker 3: So I don't know how this resolves. I believe it
- 30:51Speaker 3: will resolve at the end of the day. But right
- 30:54Speaker 3: now Putin and Zelenski both seem like they want to
- 30:56Speaker 3: keep fighting.
- 30:57Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to keep you updated on it that
