Media Normalizing Terrorists in America, Social Media Censoring Conservatives & Biden Campaign Doubles Down on Amnesty Week In Review · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Center Ted Cruz, the Weekend Review,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are the top stories
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: First up, the media normalizing terrorist threats coming across our
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: southern border. Why is it that they're trying to act
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: like this isn't a national security threat?
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: We're going to deal with that.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Also, Conservatives are continuing to be silenced on social media.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: That's a big part of the plan by Democrats to
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: stop Republicans in the presidential election.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: We'll expose it all.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: And finally, Biden's re election campaign is doubling down on
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: amnesty now for all illegal immigrants. It's the Weekend Review
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: and it starts right now. There's two things that worry me,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and I want your take on this. Number One, it's
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: almost like the media is worried the same way you are,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: that there's a real chance of a major terrorist attack.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: We've seen warnings from Director Ray at the FBI and
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: others are saying they're or even about attacks that would
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: mimic what we saw against the people in Israel. But
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it's also like they're trying to normalize the idea Yeah,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of terrorists in America, and if something
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: does happen, it's like, yeah, we knew this, we covered it,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: we talked about it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't be as outraged.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Well, if you want to be out raised, listen to
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: what Chris Ray, the administrator of the FBI, is saying
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: about the risk we have of a terror attack right
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: now in the United States.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: From an FBI perspective, we are seeing a wide array
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: of very dangerous threats that emanate from the border. There
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: is a particular network that has where some of the
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: overseas facilitators of the smuggling network have isis ties that
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: we're very concerned about. And then we've been spending an
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: enormous amount of effort with our partners investigating.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Race said a keyword there coming across the border. Yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: like he's telling you how they're doing it. So if
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: he knows this, and that means I'm sure he's given
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: the same brief just gave America to the President of
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: United States America. Why would you not then close the
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: border if this is what you know is coming across
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the border. And my second question is after nine to eleven,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I remember, like we learned very quickly how they the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: terarists are able to use certain loopholes and things to
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: get into America, and we squeezed down those instantly. I'm
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: worried that even if they if there is a tarist tech,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: they're still going to keep.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: The border open.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Look, Joe Biden doesn't care, Kamala Harris doesn't care, Chuck
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Schumer doesn't care, Nancy Pelosi doesn't care. I've been fighting
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: for years to secure the border, and every Democrat is
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: on record over and over and over again. I forced
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: a vote on HR two, which would actually end catch
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: and release, secure the border, stop these terrorifts from coming in.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: And every Democrat in the Senate, all of them, there
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: are no moderates on this issue, all of them party
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: line vote, open borders, open borders, open borders. Every Democrat
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: in the Senate voted to throw out the impeachment of
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Alejandro Mayorcis. Hear no evidence, they don't want to hear
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: the evidence. That they're like an ostrich plunging their head
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: in the sand. Do not tell them about the terrorist
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: coming into this country because they don't care about who
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: came in yesterday, and they don't care about who's going
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: to come in tomorrow.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the numbers, because that's the other part
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: of this warning. It's not one or two, or ten
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: or fifteen or twenty that are on the terrist watch
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: list that we know have come across the southern border.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It's an alarming number in the hundreds.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Look, when Trump was president, the number of people that
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: were apprehended on the terror watch list coming into the
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: country was every year in the low single digits. Was
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: one or two, was a very small number. In fiscal
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: year twenty twenty three, one hundred and sixty nine people
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: on the terror watch list were apprehended at our southern border,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: one hundred and sixty nine. This fiscal year, we're only
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: halfway through. We already have nearly one hundred who've been
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: apprehended at the southern border. Again, are on the Terra
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: shape the terror watch list. And by the way, that's
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the southern border, the northern border. The stats six hundred
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: and thirty terrorst suspects were encountered at the northern border
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: in the last two fiscal years.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: The New York Post breaking that aspect of the story.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: So it's not just as you mentioned, the southern border.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: It's the northern border, which is another problem, which is
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: by all accounts as even more I guess say open
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: easier to come across many believe much larger.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: And if you are a terrorist, if you are heating
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Iran's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Hamasa's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Hesbala's call for global Jahad against America, if you're heating
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Palestinian Islamic Jahad call for global Jahad against America, if
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: you're heating Isis's call for global Jahad against America. It's
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: not complicated. You come across the border in a place
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: where there's not a lot of border security, where you
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: can be one of the nearly two million gotaways US.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: The people who've encountered the numbers are even more concerning
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: of the god Aways and the Democrats at the end
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: of the day, they are willfully complicit in an open
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: door policy to terrorists who want to harm America.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You've been there when Ray's been testifying, and you know Ray,
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the FBI director, did Democrats ask any tough questions of him, like, hey,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: we know how many are on the watch lists that
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: we've gotten right that we're on the watch list. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: they even care about the Godaways, or if I don't
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: ask and it doesn't exist, and then I don't have
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to be held politically accountable for it.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Democrats will not ask a single question about illegal immigration.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: They will not ask a single question about god Aways.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: They will not ask a single question about the children
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: being brutalized by human traffickers. They will not ask a
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: single question about the women being sexually assaulted by human traffickers.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Their approach is just hide from the issue. They don't
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: have a defense. Ask totally. You know what they'll ask
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: about white supremacists. That they'll get all worked up about
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: white supremacists. Mind you, they're not concerned at all about
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: the anti Semites on college campuses. Well, maybe it's because
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: the people funding the anti semites are also funding those
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: same Democrats campaigns.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about the political fallout of this. If Heaven forbid,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: there's an attack is part of the Democrats defense. They
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: think that the American people are too stupid to connect
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: these dots. I mean, you see the report from NBC News.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: You see Chris Farray out there warning you you have
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a present that knows about it. Do they just assume
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that they that the media is going to carry water
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: for them that there is attack, there will be no
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: accountability for the people that allowed for the open border
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: policy which allowed them to come into this country. I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: would be terrified if I was a Democrat running for
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: reelection knowing this is a real possibility. In the FBI
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: director's warning you, you would think you'd want to say
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: something on the record that says, hey, we got to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: get this under control.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Bett Ben, I honestly don't know, because they don't defend themselves.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: They don't present an argument, they don't present any alternative. Listen,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: they count on the corporate media to cover for them,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: to hide what they're doing, and I think many of
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: them are naive. For them, it is all politics, so
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: it's not about savior security. Eleven million illegal immigrants and
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: they say these are future Democrat voters, and what we
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: care about is staying in power, and if people have
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to die, so be it. Because they know people are
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: dying every single day. People are dying because of this
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: open border and the Democrats will do nothing to change it.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: It's who they are. I don't know how many listeners
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: of verdict are PhD students and economics. But there's a
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: theory called modern monetary theory, and it's a bunch of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: gobblygook that is designed to basically justify big spending liberals
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: just printing money like there's no tomorrow, and it's all
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: sorts of fancy verbiage to explain it doesn't matter how
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: much money you can print, you can just spend into oblivion.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: Everything will be fine. We can afford free everything for everybody. Well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I want you to listen, and I'm going to present
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: this without further commentary. I want you to listen to
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Jared Bernstein, who is the chairman of the Council of
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Economic Advisors in the Biden White House, so he is
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: the top economist for Joe Biden, explaining what modern monetary
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: theory is. And I want you just to understand this
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: is the genius behind Bidenomics.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Take a look.
• 8:48
  Speaker 5: The US government can't go bankrupt because we can print
• 8:51
  Speaker 5: our own money.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: It obviously banks. The question why exactly are we borrowing
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: in occurrency that we print ourselves. I'm waiting for someone
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: to stand up and say, why do we borrow our
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: own currency in the first place.
• 9:06
  Speaker 7: Like you said they print the dollar, so why why
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: does the government even borrow?
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: Well, the uh so, the I mean again, some of
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: this stuff gets some of the language that some of
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: the language and concepts are just confusing. I mean, the
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: government definitely prints money, and it definitely lends that money.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Which is why the government definitely prints money, and then
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: it lends that money by selling bonds. Is that what
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: they do?
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: They they.
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: They yeah, they they they sell bonds. Yeah, they sell bonds, right,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: since they sell bonds and people buy the bonds and
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: lend them the money. Yeah. So a lot of times,
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: a lot of times, at least to my year with MMT,
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: the language and the concepts can be kind of unnecessarily confusing,
• 9:58
  Speaker 5: but there is no question that the government prince money
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: and then it uses that money to uh uh so, Yeah,
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: I guess I'm just I don't I can't really talk.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: I don't get it. I don't know what they're talking about, like,
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: because it's like, the government clearly prints money, it does
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: it all the time, and it clearly borrows otherwise we
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: wouldn't be having this debt and depfist conversation. So I
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: don't think there's anything confusing.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: There wherever you went to college, I really think they
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: should take back their diploma. And this is the guy
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: who's the top economic guy at the White House.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Well, let me just say every economic policy of Joe
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Biden has flowed directly from the genius and wisdom you
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: just heard displayed.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two center.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Big tech is obviously at a massive influence over public
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: opinion in this country. We saw a recent report that
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: came out just on TikTok, for example, where they were
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: forty five to one stories that were pro Palastinian pro
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Hamas over Israel. That's one example of how they've really
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: been able to shape public opinion, especially with young people
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: and the riots and the chaos we're witnessing on college
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: campuses right now. But there's also something else that's happened
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: with big tech. I've been a victim of it. I
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: spoke out again against big tech a few years ago
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: at a SEAPAC convention, and before I landed home, after
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I spoke out about big tech, specifically Facebook, my accounts
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: were shut down. They have never worked the same way
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: as they did before.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: The reach has disappeared.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: I've witnessed it, and many other conservative leaders out there
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: are going through the same things. And it always seems
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: to happen center right during a big election cycle, where
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the Democrats get a free flow of information out and
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: conservatives get hammered and silenced.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right. So I started last year as
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: the ranking member on the Senate Committee of Commerce, Science,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: and Transportation, and from that position is the ranking member,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: which means the senior Republican on that committee. I launched
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: an investigation into the abuse of power from big tech,
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and this past week we put out a major report.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: The report is entitled Weaponizing Terms of Service. How online
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: service providers use broad policies to silence conservatives. Now, there
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: are a lot of instances that we know about that
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: get a lot of publicity. We know, for example, that Twitter,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: before Elon Musk purchased them, suspended the account of the
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: Babylon be for making a joke about a Biden administration official.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: We know that both Facebook and Twitter suppressed stories about
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Hudter Biden's laptop before the twenty twenty election. We know
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: that Facebook removed posts suggesting that COVID nineteen originated in
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: a Wuhan lab, something we talked about at length on
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: this podcast, and a theory that has now been confirmed
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: both by the Federal Department of Energy and the Federal
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Bureau of Investigation. We know that YouTube took down a
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: March twenty twenty one video of a panel discussion with
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Florida Governor Ron de Santis, during which he disputed claims
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: that children needed to wear face masks. We know that YouTube, also,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: which is owned by Google, blocked access to a November
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty three episode of this podcast Verdict, because we
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: were criticizing the corporate media's favorable coverage of AMAS, and
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: YouTube deemed okay, you must be an adult to see
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: what is on the network news. We also know in
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, DirecTV dropped one America news network, and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: less than a year after Democrat leaders in Congress sent
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: a letter to the CEO calling on them to stop
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: carrying the network. We also know they did the same
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: thing to Newsmax. Now I lit Direct TV up and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: they ended up bringing Newsmax back. We also know that
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: into it at the direction of its banking partners refuse
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: to provide payment processing and payroll services to gun manufacturers
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: and sellers. And we know that JP Morgan Chase closed
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the account of the National Committee of Religious Freedom, which
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: was created by former State Department Ambassador at Large for
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: International Religious Freedom and former US Senator Sam Brownback. We
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: know that gofund me block the release of ten million
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: dollars of donations to the Canadian Trucker's Freedom Convoy. We've
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: seen that happen over and over and over again. Well,
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: what this report does is it lays out an entirely
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: new area of discrimination and it is using web based
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: products and services online service providers to ban conservative organizations
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: from using their technology, and it's going after the infrastructure
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: that is needed to communicate. And in fact, this investigation
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: reveals that online service providers are following a playbook for
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: silencing conservatives. That leftist organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: which is wildly left wing and hates conservatives, and the
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: Anti Defamation League the ADL, they together put together this strategy,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: this playbook to quote remove infrastructure services that conservative organizations
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: need to operate. And so I'm going to describe that
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: playbook and what they're doing in particular.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: When you look at their playbook and this amount of influence,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, this can change and alter certainly an election cycle.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: It can certainly, I would argue, change a presidential election
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: as well. And that's the reason why they're doing this.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: When you think about you know, you've got millions of
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: people that follow you Facebook.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: I've got over a million.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: But if you turn off and throttle either one of us,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: then the reach that we have compared to the left,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it just disappears. It's the old saying, right if a
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: big tree falls in the forest and no one's around
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: and it make a sound, And that's exactly what they did.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't just to one or two people. They
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: were doing this to hundreds of top conservative voices that
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: people look to for their opinions, specifically when it comes
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to election your issues.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: So that's exactly right. And what this report focuses on
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: is it uses a couple of key examples. It uses
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: number one slacks removal of libs of TikTok's workspace. It
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: focuses on event rights removal of event pages for events
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: related to Matt Walsh's What Is a Woman documentary? As
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: well as an event where Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak,
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: and it focuses on Bontera's termination of its relationship with
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Independent Women's Forum, which deprived that organization of may nonprofit
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: technology service provider services and all of this follows. There
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: was a report that was put out by the Anti
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Defamation League and it is called Bad Gateway How deplatforming
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: effects extremist websites And here's what the ADL recommended. It says,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: quote deplatforming websites removing infrastructure services they need to operate,
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: such as website hosting, can reduce the spread and reach
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: of extremism and hate online. But when does deplatforming succeed?
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: And here's what ADL explained quote. This report shows that
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: deplatforming can decrease the popularity of extremist websites, especially when
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: done without warning and they go through We learned four
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: important lessons about how deplatforming affects extremist websites, by which
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: they mean anything right of center. Number one, it can
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: cause popularity rankings to decrease immediately. Number two, it may
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: take users a long time to return to the website.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: Sometimes the website never regains its previous popularity bingo number
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: three unexpected and unexpected as key. Unexpected deplatforming makes it
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: take longer for the website to regain its previous popularity levels,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: and number four Replicating deplatform services such as discussions, discussion
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: forums or live streaming video products on a standalone website
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: presents significant challenges, including higher costs and smaller audiences. Now
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I want to go into a little bit more. This
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: is what the ADL report. It has an entire section
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: that says what is deplatforming? And by the way, the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: corporate media insists when we talk about deplatforming that we're
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: making it up. Well, if you actually read the blueprint,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: they are very explicit. The left is explicit they want
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: to silence use. So let me read from this ADL
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: report quote. There are three main categories of infrastructure that
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: keep websites running. Domain registrars, web hosting companies, and security
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: protection companies. Number one, the website must be able to
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: register and keep a domain name. A domain name such
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: as Google dot com or ADL dot org is how
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: visitors find a site. If a website is removed from
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: domain name services, it becomes much more difficult, if not impossible,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: to find Number two, Web hosting companies and content distribution
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: networks provide digital storage space for all the files, pictures, videos,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: and software that make up the content of a website.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: When a website loses its hosting provider, the site's content disappears.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Losing a CDN a content distribution network can cause slow
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: service for high traffic sites. And number three, a third
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: category of infrastructure provider includes companies that protect websites from
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: external security risks such as distributed denial of service d
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: DOS attacks. DDS attacks flood a website with fake traffic
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to overwhelm it, rendering it unable to answer normal user requests.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: If an infrastructure company, such as a network security firm
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: cloud fare, refuses to provide DS protection to a vulnerable website,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: it is vulnerable to being flooded with traffic, rendering it inaccessible.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: As before, If you want to hear the rest of
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: down the podcasts from earlier this week to hear the
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: entire thing. I want to get back to the big
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: story number three of the week. You may have missed.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Tenner.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about what's also happening at the border.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: The President of the United States of America has come
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: out and it's pretty clear we now know what is
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: reelection campaign again. I guess for the onslaught of illegal
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: immigrants coming into this country is going to be it is.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: We need to start handing out amnesty somehow. That's going
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: to fix the problems in this country. And it's something
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: that we can all be proud of if we give amnesty.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Here is the President of the United States of America
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: in his own words.
• 21:21
  Speaker 8: I love him when people say why dreamers. Can you
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: imagine a kid two years old, Sam, Mom, don't take
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: it because real ground is against the law. Give me
• 21:28
  Speaker 8: a break. These have been model citizens. Congress has to act,
• 21:33
  Speaker 8: and the right thing to do is to keep pushing
• 21:35
  Speaker 8: forward until we get it done. Get it done.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: So there's this famous line, get it done. So he
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: is doubling down. Now not only do we have it
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: wide open borders, we have countless millions of illegal immigrants
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: coming in. But he refuses to admit the carnage is
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: taking place in the southern border. And now it's pushing
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: for amnesty Part one, which would be all of these
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: as he describes them, dreamers, and then the next part
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: would be well more our illegal immigrants, and then part
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: three would be even more illegal immigrants. This is what
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: he's doing for this election.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, Biden's making clear that Joe Biden and the
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Democrats they stand with illegal immigrants. And given the choice
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: between illegal immigrants and American citizens, they're with the illegals.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: Given the choice between criminals and law abiding citizens, there
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: with criminals. And that is a consistent theme. It's why
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: eleven million people across into this country illegally, because they
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: look at those eleven million illegal immigrants and they say, hey,
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: those are future Democrat voters. We stay in power if
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: we let them in, and they turn a blind eye
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: to the people who are suffering and dying. You know
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: who Joe Biden didn't talk about this week?
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Who was that?
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: He didn't talk about Marvin Perez Lopez. Now, who is
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: Marvin Perez Lopez. Well, he was arrested the last couple
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: of days. He is an immigrant from Guatemala. He was
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: arrested over the weekend for kidnapping a minor under the
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: age of thirteen and sexual assault. That's according the Palm
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: Beach County Sheriff's Office. Marvin Perez Lopez was in the
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: country illegally was arrested on May fourth. Perez Lopez reportedly
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: left Guatemala in early January, crossed through Mexico, and what
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: did he do. He turned himself into the border patrol.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: But of course, Joe Biden, being a Democrat, he turned around,
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: he let him go. Do you know when Perez Lopez
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: was given a court date.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid that you're gonna say years from the moment
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they let him go.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: Twenty twenty seven. There you go, twenty twenty seven, he
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: was released, he went to Florida, and then he turned
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: around and he's now been charged with kidnapping a minor
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: under the age of thirteen and sexual assault. Now we're
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: not going to say the miner's name, but we are
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: going to point out, week after week after week, every
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: single week, there's another violent crime committed by an illegal
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: immigrant Joe Biden releases and what is he is he
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: talking about?
• 23:57
  Speaker 8: That?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Does he care about this child who was kidnapped and
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: sexually assaulted? The answer has to be known. Now. Look,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: when I say that, Ben, some people might say, gosh,
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: that's harsh. What do you mean he doesn't care about
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: a child kidnapped and assaulted. If he cared, he would
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: stop releasing illegal immigrants. You can't keep doing it when
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: you see, Hey, when I do this, children get kidnapped
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and raped. Maybe I should stop doing this. That's actually
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: what someone who cared about the crime and wanted to
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: prevent the next child from being kidnapped and raped would do.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden, And by the way, every single Democrat in Congress,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: without exception, every single Senator, every single House member, they
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: don't care either. Why do I know they don't care,
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: because if they cared, they'd be willing to stand up
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to Biden and say enough is enough, stop releasing violent,
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: criminal illegal aliens. And in the Senate, every single time
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I force a vote, and I've done it over and
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: over and over again, every Democrat, all of them vote
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: in favor of releasing illegal immigrants, even if they're committing
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: crimes against children in America.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, there's you know the old saying, you know,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: see no evil here, no evil, right, and then you
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: can insulate yourself. The Democrats, though, have heard enough to
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: know just how bad it is the border, and now
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: every state's a border state, and seeing how bad it
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: is with what's happening whether it's in New York City,
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: whether it's in Denver, Colorado. I mean it's widespread, the
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: chaos and the anarchy, and the destruction and the abuse
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: of children, the sexual abuse, that the human trafficking, the drugs,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: the fetanol.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Is there any of your.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Colleagues that truly still don't know or is this just
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: a if we don't talk about then we don't have
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to admit what we already know.
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: Look, it's hypocrisy. I'll tell you tonight. I was in
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: a classified briefing in the Senate. I was a classified
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: briefing talking about all sorts of things, including the threats
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: of terrorism in the United States, And there was a
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: Democrat senator who at some point was sharing that, based
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: on the briefings he'd received, there's an enormous risk of terrorism.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: He's deeply worried, and we do much more to prevent it.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: And I remember sitting there and thinking, Gosh, what you're
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: saying sounds very reasonable. Why do you keep voting in
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: favor of releasing eleven million legal immigrants, Like at some
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: point you can't claim I'm worried about the threat of
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: a terrorist attack when you have nearly two million gtaways
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: when you have Iran calling for global Jahad against America,
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: when they have hesbel On Hamas calling for global Jahad,
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: and the Biden administration letting them go. And he was
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: what was interesting is sitting in this classified briefing, this
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Democrat senator sounded emphatic, he sounded believable. I'm like, wow,
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: he's really worried about a terrorist attack. But you know what,
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago, we had a vote
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: on the impeachment of Alejandro Majorcus, who has let eleven
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: million illeg immigrants grit go, and this Democrat, along with
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: every single other Democrat, voted to throw the case out
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: to hear no evidence. They didn't care about the risk
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: of terrorism. That's the simple reality.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: One other thing, and you talk about hypocrisy, which does
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: make me laugh. The Democratic Convention is going to be
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: held in Chicago, and we're now hearing that ahead of
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Convention, they are going to clear out the
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: area of illegal immigrants. Take a listen to this from
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: local NBC News in Chicago.
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: Strong reactions tonight from residents after learning Mayor Brandon Johnson
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: is considering plans to open a new temporary migrant shelter
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: in their South Side neighborhood, and you.
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: Don't know where to put him. Why would you put
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: him in our neighborhood? Well, why don't we go by
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: your house?
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: All of that money that he's given them, we've been
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: begging for yous.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: We've lived to our whole life.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: We have a lot of bad things that happen here already.
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: We do not need this, We just do not.
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Located just blocks away from Guaranteed right Field, the proposed
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: building near Canal and Pershing is in the city's eleventh.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Ward look of words, Yet it's hid in the back.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: Why is that a good location? We have no amenities
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: here as it is.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Alder Woman Nicole issued this letter to constituents yesterday, saying
• 28:23
  Speaker 7: she was notified earlier this week and met with the
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: mayor on Thursday. She says the city wants to move
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: migrants staying at the Standard Club near the Dirts and
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: Federal Building to her ward before the Democratic National Convention.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: This is just insane.
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense.
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: Keep them downtown, keep them.
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I mean, this is not our problem.
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: The alder Woman made it clear she is against the
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: proposed plan, citing safety and location concerns and lack of
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: justification for the move. She says, quote, as our city
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: grapples with this unprecedented influx of migrants, it is crucial
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: that we handle the migrant crisis safely, responsibly, and with
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: full trans parentcy. The well being of our communities must
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: be the top priority.
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: For all we want to do is all's our veterans,
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: and they're getting kicked at a side for the people
• 29:08
  Speaker 8: who didn't do.
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: Anything for this country. Yet those mount and women honorably served,
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: they should be coming first.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: I love the last guy there talking about our veterans,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: but you go back to why they're doing this center
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: read behind the lines here. This is because the residents
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: are downtown in the area where the DNC is going
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to be.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: They're saying, hey, we got to clean this up.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: It's got to be nice and friendly and look good
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: for the Democrat National Convention. We got to move them
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: out of this area, all right, throw them out there
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: in this other part of the city.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, that's exactly right.
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: And I thought the most revealing comment and that montage
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: you played was the Alderman saying, this is not our problem. Now,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: she's a Democrat. All of those elected officials are Democrats.
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: They keep voting for Democrats. They vote for a wild
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: left wing Democrat mayor, they vote for a wild left
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: wing Democrat governor, they vote for a wild left wing
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: Democrats senator, they vote for a wild left wing Democrat president.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: Every one of those supports an invasion of this country
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: of illegal immigrants, and they say, well, this is not
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: our problem. Send them to Texas, send them to Florida,
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: send them to anywhere other than our state. But we
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: want them to keep coming in because you know what,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: we want them to show up in Texas and Florida
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: and we want them to vote Democrats so we can
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: be in power. But we don't actually want to deal
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: with this invasion. The hypocrisy is massive, and if you
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: want to change this, we need to have some real accountability.
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: If they want open borders, we ought to send every
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: single one of them to these blue jurisdictions until they
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: realize eleven million people this is not right. They're doing
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: it to Texas, they're doing it to Florida, and by
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: the way, they're doing it to every other state in
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: the Union. But they're trying to be utter hypocrites and say,
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: don't do it to our own community.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with center,
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal
• 30:54
