WHY is it so Difficult for the Biden Admin to Stand Up to Iran?! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: I do not understand why it is so damn hard
0:05
Speaker 1: for this administration to tell Iran since we know they
0:10
Speaker 1: are sponsoring terrorism. We know they're sponsoring Hamas, we know
0:14
Speaker 1: they met him Berut to give the green light for
0:17
Speaker 1: this attack on innocent men, women, children, and babies. We
0:23
Speaker 1: know that Iran was involved. We know this, Our government
0:26
Speaker 1: knows it. They've declared it, they've said it. So why
0:29
Speaker 1: is it so hard for this administration to say to Iran,
0:33
Speaker 1: you're not getting the six billion dollars? The White House
0:37
Speaker 1: falling all over themselves to say that Iran has not
0:41
Speaker 1: gotten any of the six billion dollars they promised them
0:43
Speaker 1: in the prisoner swap, yet refusing to say to Iran,
0:46
Speaker 1: you're not going to get the money. John Kirby, who's
0:49
Speaker 1: the acting President of the United States of America, was
0:53
Speaker 1: asked about this of the White House again, listen to
0:56
Speaker 1: how much he is falling all over himself to not
0:59
Speaker 1: just say what a normal rational human being would say is,
1:03
Speaker 1: which is simple, Iran's not getting any of the money.
1:06
Speaker 1: We're pulling the money.
1:08
Speaker 2: What is the status of the six billion dollars that
1:13
Speaker 2: Iran was set to have access to.
1:15
Speaker 3: It's still sitting in the cuttery bank. All of it,
1:21
Speaker 3: every agreement, every dime of.
1:22
Speaker 2: It is an agreement now to in essence would hold
1:27
Speaker 2: it from Iran should they come asking for it.
1:30
Speaker 3: None of that money has been spent, and I have
1:32
Speaker 3: no updates to provide today.
1:35
Speaker 1: I have no updates to provide to you today. Now
1:39
Speaker 1: the White House has had to have this conversation. It
1:41
Speaker 1: was the very first question asked the President when he
1:44
Speaker 1: was leaving the room, refusing to answer questions after he
1:47
Speaker 1: did his big press conference on Israel and what happened.
1:51
Speaker 1: The first question is he was walking out, was are
1:54
Speaker 1: you going to still send the six billion dollars to Ran?
1:56
Speaker 1: Knowing what Iran was doing and planning while they were
1:58
Speaker 1: negotiating for the six billion dollars to be clear, when
2:03
Speaker 1: Iran was negotiating the terraces trade with Americans, right the
2:08
Speaker 1: hostage trade, when they were doing that, and again I
2:12
Speaker 1: say it, I'll say it again, to be clear, when
2:15
Speaker 1: this was happening, they were helping at the same time
2:18
Speaker 1: plan this attack. So they knew they were going to
2:20
Speaker 1: kill innocent lives. They knew that they were gonna be
2:22
Speaker 1: head babies, they knew that they were going to rape
2:24
Speaker 1: women and in front of their family members and then
2:29
Speaker 1: drag them out and then to Gaza to then rape
2:31
Speaker 1: and kill them. But what we've also found out, which
2:33
Speaker 1: is even worse than that, we now know that of
2:36
Speaker 1: the hostages that have been taken, Hamas is taking those
2:42
Speaker 1: the cell phones of the people they've taken hostage, and
2:45
Speaker 1: they're using their cell phones to then record them being burned, alive,
2:50
Speaker 1: record them being taken hostage, record them being murdered, and
2:57
Speaker 1: then they're sending that video from that cell phone to
3:02
Speaker 1: the family members in their contacts. Imagine being a mother
3:08
Speaker 1: or father, a grandparent, a brother, and you get a
3:12
Speaker 1: text message from your loved one cell phone. You don't
3:17
Speaker 1: know if they're alive or dead, and then you watch
3:19
Speaker 1: their murder in the most horrific way possible. That is Hamas.
3:25
Speaker 1: That is who Iran is supporting. Secretary Blincoln, for example,
3:31
Speaker 1: was asked as well, he's the other de facto president
3:34
Speaker 1: of the United States of America about the six billion dollars.
3:36
Speaker 1: Here's what he said.
3:39
Speaker 4: With regard to the six billion dollars. First, again, it's
3:44
Speaker 4: always worth repeating the facts because unfortunately the facts get
3:47
Speaker 4: lost along the way. The money that aron a crude
3:54
Speaker 4: in bank accounts in this case in South Korea for
3:58
Speaker 4: the sale of its oil, was done pursuant to an
4:01
Speaker 4: arrangement established by the previous administration. The Trump administration, none
4:06
Speaker 4: of the funds that have now gone to cutter have
4:11
Speaker 4: actually been spent or accessed in any way by Iran. Indeed,
4:16
Speaker 4: funds from that account are overseen by the Treasury Department,
4:20
Speaker 4: can only be dispensed for humanitarian goods, food, medicine, medical equipment,
4:27
Speaker 4: and never touch Irani enhanced. We have strict oversight of
4:32
Speaker 4: the funds, and we retain the right to freeze them next.
4:40
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you say we'll retain the funds. Why
4:44
Speaker 1: wouldn't you say we're freezing the funds. The money that
4:48
Speaker 1: Iran as cruit and bank accounts in this case in
4:50
Speaker 1: South Korea for the sale of its oil, was done
4:53
Speaker 1: pursuing to an agreement established by the previous administration. You're
4:57
Speaker 1: now going to act like this is somehow the fault
4:59
Speaker 1: of Donald Trump that they have the access to these funds. No,
5:03
Speaker 1: Donald Trump made sure they didn't have access to these funds. You,
5:06
Speaker 1: on the other hand, are the one that gave them
5:08
Speaker 1: access to these funds. You are the one that decide
5:13
Speaker 1: to do that. Congressman Waltz was on Fox News Channel
5:20
Speaker 1: earlier today ripping the Biden administration over their fictitious fairy
5:25
Speaker 1: tale spend quote unquote on Iran, so they don't have
5:28
Speaker 1: to reverse course, as he described it, on Iran. And
5:31
Speaker 1: he's right, that's why they're falling all over themselves to say, well,
5:36
Speaker 1: we can't find a direct link between Iran Hamas attacks. Well,
5:39
Speaker 1: K Kirby is now saying that over and over and
5:41
Speaker 1: over again. But they've also admitted that Iran helped in
5:44
Speaker 1: the planning, that Iran was mbe root on Tuesday to
5:47
Speaker 1: greenlight this plan, that Hamas doesn't exist financially without the
5:50
Speaker 1: money coming from Iran. Now they're saying there's no direct
5:54
Speaker 1: link between Iran and Hamas attacks. Well, if the money
5:58
Speaker 1: came from Iran for these attacks, then there's a direct link.
6:02
Speaker 1: If they were green lighting and they rout on Tuesday
6:04
Speaker 1: before the attack, then there's a green light. Then there's
6:06
Speaker 1: a direct connection there. Hamas gets safe haven from Rant,
6:09
Speaker 1: money from Rant, everything from Rant. We know that that
6:12
Speaker 1: is indisputable evidence of that. So yet then you're still saying, wow,
6:16
Speaker 1: that's not true. Well it's not exactly true. Well it's
6:18
Speaker 1: sort of true. It's kind of true. But they are
6:20
Speaker 1: falling all over themselves, so they don't have to reverse
6:23
Speaker 1: course and say, hey, we screwed up with i RAN policy.
6:26
Speaker 1: That's what this boils down. To listen to Representative Waltz on.
6:30
Speaker 3: This, what do you have turned a blind eye to
6:33
Speaker 3: Iranian destabilizing behavior? Now? I think what you're trying to
6:37
Speaker 3: get at is this particular set of attacks what Jake
6:40
Speaker 3: said yesterday still holds. We obviously recognize that there's broad
6:44
Speaker 3: complicity here by the Iranians, I mean, because of the
6:46
Speaker 3: long standing support to Hamas. Amas wouldn't have been able
6:49
Speaker 3: to function at all had it not been for popping
6:51
Speaker 3: up by the Iranian regime. But we haven't seen any
6:54
Speaker 3: specific evidence that tells us they were witting involved in
6:59
Speaker 3: the planning or involved in the resourcing and the training
7:03
Speaker 3: that went into this very complex set of a taxo
7:06
Speaker 3: over the weekend.
7:07
Speaker 5: O good, they have it, complicity, but no direct link.
7:10
Speaker 1: Collerson.
7:11
Speaker 6: Mike Waltz, Republican from Florida, joins me, Now, Congissman, do
7:14
Speaker 6: you believe Iran was behind their tax.
7:18
Speaker 7: Stu John Kirby is full of it and this is
7:22
Speaker 7: the worst kind of spin, and he knows it, and
7:24
Speaker 7: he knows better. You can't say that Hamas would not
7:28
Speaker 7: be able to operate, wouldn't be funded, wouldn't be supplied,
7:32
Speaker 7: wouldn't have the training without Iran, but then say there
7:35
Speaker 7: was no Iranian involvement because I don't know. We don't
7:38
Speaker 7: have some kind of tape of the Ayatola personally leading
7:43
Speaker 7: the squads as they go to assassinate children.
7:47
Speaker 1: Everybody knows.
7:48
Speaker 7: And what this really is is a cover is spin
7:52
Speaker 7: for the administration to not reverse course on Iran, go
7:56
Speaker 7: back to maximum pressure, cut off the oil money, cut
7:59
Speaker 7: off the international money, refreeze the aid. But importantly, the
8:04
Speaker 7: other thing that we could be doing, and what I
8:07
Speaker 7: hope that Blincoln should be talking about right now, is
8:11
Speaker 7: shutting off the land routes of all of the missiles,
8:14
Speaker 7: the arms, and the supplies from Iran all the way
8:17
Speaker 7: to Lebanon, shutting off the air routes, and using our
8:21
Speaker 7: navy to shut off the sea routes through the Red
8:24
Speaker 7: Sea and through the Mediterranean. We can be helping Israel
8:27
Speaker 7: isolate Hamas and Hezblat right now if we chose to.
8:32
Speaker 7: But instead you've got this big, fictitious, fairy tale spin
8:36
Speaker 7: going on, and it is it's just beyond frustrating, and
8:39
Speaker 7: they know it's wrong.
8:40
Speaker 1: But yep, Congressman Walter's spot on the Biden administration is
8:47
Speaker 1: telling you that Hamas doesn't exist without Iran's funding. But
8:50
Speaker 1: then they want you to believe that there's a separation
8:53
Speaker 1: between the Hamas attack on Israel so they don't have
8:57
Speaker 1: to reverse course on Iran. How sick is the Biden administration?
9:02
Speaker 1: All right, let me tell you real quick about an
9:04
Speaker 1: amazing company called Patriot Mobile. For ten years, they have
9:08
Speaker 1: been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I
9:13
Speaker 1: say only trust me, they're the only one. Glenn and
9:16
Speaker 1: the team have been great supporters of this show, which
9:19
Speaker 1: is why I'm proud to partner with Patriot Mobile. They
9:22
Speaker 1: offer you dependable nationwide coverage, giving you the ability to
9:25
Speaker 1: access all three major networks, which means you get the
9:28
Speaker 1: same coverage you've been accustomed to without funding the leftist agenda.
9:34
Speaker 1: When you switch to Patriot Mobile, you're sending the message
9:36
Speaker 1: that you support free speech, religious freedom, the sancty of life,
9:40
Speaker 1: Second Amendment, and our military, our veterans and first responder heroes.
9:44
Speaker 1: They have one hundred percent US based customer service team
9:47
Speaker 1: making switching easy. You get to keep your same cell
9:50
Speaker 1: phone number, keep your same phone that you have right now,
9:53
Speaker 1: keep your same phone, or upgrade to a new one,
9:56
Speaker 1: and their team will help you find the best plan
9:58
Speaker 1: for your needs and say gave you real money. You've
10:01
Speaker 1: got a small business, they can cover all that as well.
10:04
Speaker 1: All you need to do is go to Patriot Mobile
10:06
Speaker 1: dot com slash ferguson, Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson, or
10:11
Speaker 1: call them nine to seven to two Patriot. That's nine
10:15
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. Get free activation when you use
10:18
Speaker 1: the promo code ferguson. Join me and make the switch
10:21
Speaker 1: today and protect our values and stand for them with
10:25
Speaker 1: every phone. Call Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
10:30
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. There's a problem that the Democrats
10:34
Speaker 1: now have because of what Hamas has just done. And
10:38
Speaker 1: it's multi prong and I want to explain that to you.
10:42
Speaker 1: Number one, they're on record, and let me take you
10:44
Speaker 1: back to AOC. AOC congresswoman cried on the House floor
10:55
Speaker 1: as Congress passed a one billion dollar funding bill for
10:59
Speaker 1: Israel's Iron Dome. She was crying.
11:04
Speaker 8: Now.
11:04
Speaker 1: To be clear, the Iron Dome doesn't kill Hamas, it
11:09
Speaker 1: doesn't kill Hesbla, it doesn't kill Palestinians. It is a
11:14
Speaker 1: defensive weapon system that stops rockets from killing innocent people
11:20
Speaker 1: in Israel. The Iron Dome is a defensive weapons system.
11:26
Speaker 1: When Hamas Hesblah Palestinians decide to shoot rockets into Israel,
11:32
Speaker 1: they don't care who they kill. They just want to
11:33
Speaker 1: kill people. They don't even have targets. They just launch
11:36
Speaker 1: rockets and hope they kill people, and hope they hit people.
11:40
Speaker 1: The Iron Dome and the rocket system will then lock
11:44
Speaker 1: in on those rockets and they usually send them in
11:46
Speaker 1: a Berasian rockets so that some of them can get
11:49
Speaker 1: through the Iron Dome, and you hope that the system
11:51
Speaker 1: works well enough to take out every one of those
11:53
Speaker 1: rockets before it explodes into land, homes, buildings, innocent people
11:59
Speaker 1: dying in Israel. When that passed, AOC was seen crying
12:05
Speaker 1: on the floor of the house. That's the problem. Representative
12:09
Speaker 1: Shali to Be whatever the hell her name is. This
12:14
Speaker 1: is a woman that refuses to denounce Amas and hesp
12:19
Speaker 1: Lah and clearly is an anti Semite. You have members
12:25
Speaker 1: of the squad, remember that said that referred to the
12:27
Speaker 1: nine to eleven attackers as some people that did some things.
12:34
Speaker 1: That's now a bigger problem for the Democratic Party. You
12:39
Speaker 1: have Democrats that are falling all over themselves to try
12:44
Speaker 1: to protect these radical individuals within the Democratic Party at
12:51
Speaker 1: all costs by saying why, I can't really condemn them, right,
12:55
Speaker 1: I can't. I can't really condemn that that they're coming
12:57
Speaker 1: from a different background, a different perspective. Who am I
13:02
Speaker 1: to basically judge them? That's what Democrats are now doing,
13:07
Speaker 1: falling all over themselves to try to protect their colleagues.
13:12
Speaker 1: I'll give you an example. Dan Goldman refuses to throw
13:17
Speaker 1: Rashid Talib under the bus, saying this on Fox.
13:20
Speaker 9: No, Congressman, you say that very clearly. Some of your
13:23
Speaker 9: colleagues could say that, but choose, at least so far
13:27
Speaker 9: not to our correspondent Hillary Vaughan talk to or tried
13:31
Speaker 9: to talk to Congressman to lead take a listen.
13:39
Speaker 1: And monsters talking off these.
13:45
Speaker 5: You would lovely to say about the monsters, as.
13:52
Speaker 2: Do you condone what Amas has done.
13:55
Speaker 8: Chopping off these has forty children of lives went into
13:59
Speaker 8: the street.
14:01
Speaker 9: Ellison, she has a Palestinian flag, She's Palestinian. But what
14:05
Speaker 9: you just said seems like it's a pretty easy answer
14:09
Speaker 9: about the difference between Palestinians and Amas, and yet some
14:15
Speaker 9: members in your caucus are choosing not to say that.
14:19
Speaker 6: Well, look, everyone comes to Congress with their own lived experiences,
14:23
Speaker 6: and Rashida Taliv is Palestinian American, so she has family
14:28
Speaker 6: in the Palestinian territories and has a particular view. But
14:32
Speaker 6: she is one person. She does not represent the Democratic Party.
14:35
Speaker 6: And what you are hearing from the leaders of the
14:37
Speaker 6: Democratic Party, no one more emphatic than President Biden yesterday,
14:42
Speaker 6: who gave one of the most stirring and pro Israel
14:46
Speaker 6: speeches than any president has ever given, is that the
14:49
Speaker 6: Democratic Party stands firmly behind Israel. That is ultimately where
14:55
Speaker 6: our party is, and I look forward to working with
14:58
Speaker 6: Congressman Fluger in order to provide additional aid in order
15:02
Speaker 6: for Israel to secure itself.
15:05
Speaker 1: You notice they will not condemn their own that make
15:08
Speaker 1: these mistakes standing with terrorists. That's problem number one for
15:13
Speaker 1: the Democrats. Let's deal now with a second problem, that's
15:15
Speaker 1: having a bigger problem, and that is their ignorance and
15:20
Speaker 1: their willful abuse of power by not securing our southern border.
15:26
Speaker 1: The leader of Hamas has now called for Friday the
15:31
Speaker 1: thirteenth for Muslims around the world to embrace a day
15:36
Speaker 1: of global jihad. That's Friday, as in Friday, like not
15:44
Speaker 1: weeks from now and now months ago like now. Okay,
15:46
Speaker 1: to be clear, if you live in a major city
15:50
Speaker 1: in the world, you're going to probably be on high
15:55
Speaker 1: alert all day, especially if you live in a major
15:59
Speaker 1: city in America. You're up. There are many that are
16:02
Speaker 1: canceling school. Jewish schools in America all over the country
16:06
Speaker 1: now are canceling school for Friday. Why because they're not
16:10
Speaker 1: going to take the risk of some radical Islamic extremists
16:13
Speaker 1: in America coming and blowing up or trying to kill
16:18
Speaker 1: innocent Jewish people at that school. I've had countless people
16:23
Speaker 1: reach out to me saying, what are you doing for Friday.
16:26
Speaker 1: I can tell you this much. I'm carrying a gun
16:27
Speaker 1: wherever I go. I'm not going to a crowded area
16:30
Speaker 1: because it only takes one madman with a gun to
16:33
Speaker 1: create a mass shooting. And it's incredibly frustrating for me
16:37
Speaker 1: because this all comes because of inaction and an open border.
16:43
Speaker 1: This is an open border policy that is allowed for
16:46
Speaker 1: countless people on the terrorist watch lists. More people this
16:49
Speaker 1: year have been caught coming across the border on a
16:54
Speaker 1: terrorist watch list than the last five years combined. Let's
17:00
Speaker 1: make that clear. Number Two, we know that HAMAS wants
17:06
Speaker 1: to kill Americans. They've said they want to kill Americans.
17:11
Speaker 1: Anthony Blincoln came out talking about how many Americans have
17:14
Speaker 1: been killed so far, and this doesn't count the hostages.
17:18
Speaker 4: Tragically, the number of innocent lives claimed by hamasa's HANDUS
17:23
Speaker 4: attacks continues to rise. Among those we now know that
17:27
Speaker 4: at least twenty five American citizens were killed. We joined
17:31
Speaker 4: families in Israel, in the United States, around the world
17:36
Speaker 4: in mourning. They're a measurable loss.
17:40
Speaker 1: I don't know what else to say. I want to
17:43
Speaker 1: be clear. You have Americans that are targeted, you have
17:47
Speaker 1: an open southern border. We know how big of a
17:50
Speaker 1: problem the open border is. Democrats are even starting to
17:54
Speaker 1: admit it now because they realize, oh wow, we may
17:57
Speaker 1: have really screwed this up. We may have really, really
18:03
Speaker 1: really messed us up this southern border. Maybe the Republicans
18:07
Speaker 1: were right that a southern border puts all of our
18:09
Speaker 1: lives at risk, all of our lives at risk. An
18:14
Speaker 1: open southern border allows for countless people to come in
18:17
Speaker 1: this country. And when you have Hamas calling for a
18:20
Speaker 1: day of jihad on Friday the thirteenth, there is a
18:23
Speaker 1: problem because we don't know who all has come into
18:26
Speaker 1: this country. We don't know who all has been in
18:29
Speaker 1: this country, We don't know where they are, and we
18:32
Speaker 1: don't know what attacks they could be planning. Do you
18:35
Speaker 1: want to know how bad it is the southern border
18:37
Speaker 1: right now? Even Barack Obama's former Department of Homeland Security
18:42
Speaker 1: Secretary Jay Johnson said this today. This is Obama's Department
18:48
Speaker 1: of Home Security Secretary Ja Johnson said this today about
18:52
Speaker 1: our southern border.
18:54
Speaker 8: A lot of people entering our southern border right now,
18:56
Speaker 8: thousands and thousands. It's a hemispheric move, bigger than anything
19:01
Speaker 8: we've ever seen. And the challenge for our border patrol,
19:05
Speaker 8: for our customs, for DHS, for the FBI is to
19:10
Speaker 8: try to keep up. Unfortunately, as you know, the system
19:12
Speaker 8: is broken, it's horribly backlogged, and there are a whole
19:15
Speaker 8: lot of people entering this country who we cannot identify.
19:19
Speaker 1: There are a whole lot of people coming into this
19:21
Speaker 1: country that we cannot identify. Now. That is Jay Johnson,
19:24
Speaker 1: and on the screen with him is a picture of Gaza.
19:27
Speaker 1: On the screen at the bottom of it says Hamas
19:29
Speaker 1: attacks raise concerns for the US homeland. He is saying
19:34
Speaker 1: what everybody else has been saying now for months and years,
19:37
Speaker 1: on the conservative side and the national security side, which is,
19:41
Speaker 1: we don't know who's coming to this country. But what
19:42
Speaker 1: we do know that is coming into this country are
19:46
Speaker 1: people on the Terrace watch list. We do know that,
19:51
Speaker 1: all right. I also want to let you hear part
19:54
Speaker 1: of what Senator Ted Cruz had to say about what's
19:56
Speaker 1: going on in Israel right now, also about the Americans
20:00
Speaker 1: that are being held hostage. Take a listen to what
20:02
Speaker 1: he had to say the possibility of a terror attack
20:06
Speaker 1: around the world. On the thirteenth of Friday, this being
20:11
Speaker 1: declared by Hama says a day for people to go
20:14
Speaker 1: out and unleash war wherever they are in the world.
20:18
Speaker 1: If you are a follower of themer I want to
20:21
Speaker 1: start with this. There's a lot of parents I've talked to,
20:23
Speaker 1: even notes that are coming out now from schools to
20:26
Speaker 1: parents about this concern of this threat. From your perspective
20:31
Speaker 1: as a senator, what have you guys been told or
20:33
Speaker 1: briefed on or has there been anything?
20:35
Speaker 8: Really?
20:35
Speaker 1: Is this more just Hey, it's an international threat, a
20:37
Speaker 1: call to arms by a terrorist organization.
20:41
Speaker 5: Well, as senators, we have not been briefed differently from
20:46
Speaker 5: anything that is public right now and in the news.
20:49
Speaker 5: So you and I are sitting here. It is eleven
20:51
Speaker 5: twenty pm on Thursday night, and we're recording this right now.
20:56
Speaker 5: This pod will come out early Friday morning. As of now,
21:02
Speaker 5: nothing has happened in terms of a terrorist attack in
21:06
Speaker 5: the United States. All of us have read the news
21:10
Speaker 5: that Hamas has called for a global day of Jahad
21:16
Speaker 5: on Friday the thirteenth. I don't know what will come
21:21
Speaker 5: of that. I hope and pray nothing will come of that.
21:25
Speaker 5: But one of the things we've talked about on the
21:28
Speaker 5: pod this week on both Mondays and Wednesdays is, in
21:32
Speaker 5: my judgment, the risk of a serious terrorist attack in
21:37
Speaker 5: the United States is right now greater than it has
21:42
Speaker 5: been any time since September eleventh. I think there's a
21:46
Speaker 5: confluence of a number of factors. One obviously the most
21:52
Speaker 5: significant war in Israel in fifty years, the most significant
21:57
Speaker 5: attack on Israel in fifty years, Number two, two and
22:02
Speaker 5: a half years of open borders on our southern border,
22:06
Speaker 5: seven point six million people coming in illegally, including a
22:11
Speaker 5: very significant number of people on the terror watch list,
22:15
Speaker 5: and an exposure that there could be a significant number
22:18
Speaker 5: of terrorists from countries in the Middle East who have
22:22
Speaker 5: come into this country in the past two and a
22:25
Speaker 5: half years. All of that combines, I know that law
22:29
Speaker 5: enforcement in cities across America is on high alert today.
22:36
Speaker 5: Police officers, police departments are taking these threats seriously. In
22:42
Speaker 5: New York, obviously New York has long been tragically a
22:46
Speaker 5: target for terrorism, and New York has a very significant
22:50
Speaker 5: Jewish population. The NYPD is beefing up patrols, in particular
22:59
Speaker 5: at Jewish school because, sadly, with a call to jahad uh,
23:04
Speaker 5: that could be a target of violence or terrorism. My hope,
23:08
Speaker 5: my prayer is that we don't see that today in
23:14
Speaker 5: America or or globally. But I do think the risks
23:18
Speaker 5: are significant. This is a dangerous world, and so I
23:22
Speaker 5: think everyone should should should be careful and be vigilant
23:26
Speaker 5: and and be alert. There are scheduled protests across the
23:31
Speaker 5: country by pro Palestinian forces, and and that that we
23:37
Speaker 5: have seen with Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots, that
23:42
Speaker 5: protests can turn violence, particularly when you have local politicians
23:50
Speaker 5: that prevent the police from doing their jobs. We saw
23:54
Speaker 5: that with the Black Lives riot, Black Lives Matter and
23:57
Speaker 5: Antifa riots. I certainly hope and pray we don't see
24:01
Speaker 5: a repeat of that tomorrow, but I do think this
24:05
Speaker 5: is a time for everyone to be cautious, to be careful,
24:09
Speaker 5: to be alert, and certainly law enforcement is on high
24:14
Speaker 5: alert right now.
24:18
Speaker 1: You know, you've talked about this, and it's something that
24:21
Speaker 1: keeps coming up with everybody that I've been talking to
24:23
Speaker 1: for the last several days. And that is for years,
24:27
Speaker 1: not months. Years You've been warning Congress and the country
24:32
Speaker 1: when you are either on this show or on Fox
24:35
Speaker 1: or wherever you're doing TV or doing other interviews of
24:38
Speaker 1: the national security threat at the southern border. It's not
24:41
Speaker 1: just a legal immigrants coming across it. It is a
24:44
Speaker 1: national security threat of who may be coming across. How
24:48
Speaker 1: frustrated are you right now that Democrats refuse to understand
24:53
Speaker 1: I think is the scariest part and admit that an
24:57
Speaker 1: open border allows for terrorists to come in. This year,
25:00
Speaker 1: for example, we have gotten five years worth in one
25:05
Speaker 1: year of people coming across the southern border who are
25:08
Speaker 1: on the terrorists watch list. And that's who we've caught.
25:10
Speaker 1: So this year more people in the last five years combined.
25:14
Speaker 1: That is a shocking number, and that is an official
25:17
Speaker 1: government number. That means Joe Biden knows that number, and
25:20
Speaker 1: yet Democrats refuse to look at the border even from
25:23
Speaker 1: a national security standpoint.
25:26
Speaker 5: Well, I have to say, Joe Biden does not know
25:29
Speaker 5: that number. I do not think there is any chance
25:32
Speaker 5: if you ask Joe Biden that number, that any part
25:34
Speaker 5: of his brain has any awareness of that number. And
25:37
Speaker 5: I have no indication that anyone's briefing him on it.
25:39
Speaker 5: I have no indication that anyone in the administration cares
25:43
Speaker 5: about it, that anyone thinks he cares about it. And
25:47
Speaker 5: I got to say that number is not the one
25:49
Speaker 5: that worries me the most. Yes, we are seeing a
25:53
Speaker 5: massive spike in terms of the number of people apprehended
25:56
Speaker 5: who are on the terror watch list. And mind you,
25:58
Speaker 5: you get on the terror watchless because there is credible
26:01
Speaker 5: and meaningful evidence that you are a risk for terrorism,
26:04
Speaker 5: you don't get on that list lightly. What worries me
26:09
Speaker 5: much more is how many people on the terror watch
26:12
Speaker 5: list are among the god aways. And you have to
26:14
Speaker 5: understand they're two broad categories on our southern border, those
26:18
Speaker 5: who are apprehended and those who they see but they
26:22
Speaker 5: get away, and the difference the people who are apprehended,
26:26
Speaker 5: the vast majority of the people who are apprehended are
26:30
Speaker 5: voluntarily turning themselves in. They're going and seeking border patrol
26:33
Speaker 5: agents and turning themselves in, and which raises the question
26:39
Speaker 5: the god aways, why are they bothering to run? Why
26:42
Speaker 5: are they actively evading border patrol and law enforcement? And
26:46
Speaker 5: it raises the natural inference that the god aways are
26:49
Speaker 5: much more likely to have seriously dangerous characteristics, whether it
26:54
Speaker 5: is that they're convicted felons, convicted murderers, convicted rapist, convicted
26:58
Speaker 5: child molesters, whether they're gang members MS thirteen or other gangs,
27:03
Speaker 5: or whether they are in fact terrorists coming to America
27:08
Speaker 5: with the intention of committing acts of terror. And given
27:12
Speaker 5: the very high numbers in the people we've apprehended, the
27:17
Speaker 5: big concern is how many are are the ones that
27:21
Speaker 5: got away.
27:22
Speaker 1: Those gotaway numbers are something that have to be haunting
27:26
Speaker 1: to law enforcement, border security as well. You combine that
27:30
Speaker 1: with these new threats, and my biggest fear is we
27:34
Speaker 1: could have stopped these people from getting in, and we
27:37
Speaker 1: deliberately chose not to because the Democratic Party said, I
27:41
Speaker 1: would rather put politics ahead of national security. Did they
27:44
Speaker 1: learn nothing from nine to eleven? And how frustrating is
27:47
Speaker 1: that from your perspective when you have to work with
27:49
Speaker 1: them on these things in Congress.
27:52
Speaker 5: Well, it certainly seems that this White House and this
27:55
Speaker 5: administration learned nothing from nine to eleven because they setting
28:00
Speaker 5: up the conditions for yet another nine to eleven. And
28:05
Speaker 5: it's worth noting that this horrific terror attack, this act
28:09
Speaker 5: of war carried out by Hamas and Israel, it's the
28:13
Speaker 5: worst attack on Israel in fifty years. It is Israel's
28:16
Speaker 5: nine to eleven, But it is also an American terror attack.
28:21
Speaker 5: Just yesterday, John Kirby updated the number of Americans killed
28:26
Speaker 5: in Israel. The number from the White House is we
28:30
Speaker 5: now know that twenty seven Americans were killed in Israel
28:35
Speaker 5: and at least fourteen stand unaccounted for, which means there's
28:40
Speaker 5: a very real possibility that they are hostages in Gaza
28:44
Speaker 5: right now, twenty seven Americans killed in a terror attack
28:48
Speaker 5: ranks high among the worst terror attacks directed at Americans
28:53
Speaker 5: in history. Now, obviously, the Israelis paid orders of magnitude
29:00
Speaker 5: higher price, and it was directed principally at the more
29:04
Speaker 5: than one two hundred Israelis who were murdered. But twenty
29:07
Speaker 5: seven Americans being killed in a terror attack is very significant,
29:13
Speaker 5: and I pray that that is not foreshadowing for what
29:17
Speaker 5: could come next.
29:19
Speaker 1: Make sure you share podcasts everywhere please on social media.
29:22
Speaker 1: Make sure everyone hears what's happening. I will keep you
29:25
Speaker 1: updated on all of this that I can promise you,
29:28
Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow. Pray for
29:30
Speaker 1: the people of Israel, please, and for the families that
29:33
Speaker 1: have lost their loved ones, and for these Americans being
29:36
Speaker 1: held hostage and that are unaccounted for. See you tomorrow.
