Liberals Cry ‘War Crimes’ on Trump’s Narco-Terror Boat Strikes plus The Great Reset · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: There is a new hoax against Donald Trump, and it's
0:04
Speaker 1: clearly an orchestrated plan by the Democrats. You've got to
0:08
Speaker 1: give them credit where credits due. They'll never stop lying
0:11
Speaker 1: to try to undermine Donald Trump. This time, they're now
0:15
Speaker 1: accusing the president of war crimes. I wish I was joking,
0:19
Speaker 1: I'm not. The Democratic Party hates Donald Trump so much
0:23
Speaker 1: they're now wanting him to be charged with war crimes. Now,
0:28
Speaker 1: what is the crime that the President of the United
0:30
Speaker 1: States of America committed.
0:32
Speaker 2: It is apparently that he.
0:34
Speaker 1: Has gone after terris narco terras, you know, the ones
0:38
Speaker 1: that are killing countless young people in this country with
0:40
Speaker 1: FETNL and drug overdoses. Those guys. Yes, they're actually siding
0:46
Speaker 1: with them over the President of the United States of America,
0:50
Speaker 1: who has declared them narco terras and therefore has the
0:54
Speaker 1: right to protect America from them. They're really angry about
0:58
Speaker 1: one main issue, and that issue is the president ordering
1:03
Speaker 1: the strikes on those narco terraces and the boats of
1:06
Speaker 1: drugs that they're running into the United States of America
1:09
Speaker 1: in international waters. They think now that not the terrorists
1:13
Speaker 1: should be the ones that are locked up. No, no, no, no,
1:16
Speaker 1: what they think is that the president of the United
1:18
Speaker 1: States of America should be locked up for striking those boats.
1:24
Speaker 1: I wish I was kidding. Senator Mark Kelly, the same
1:27
Speaker 1: one who told you know, everyone in uniform to disobey
1:31
Speaker 1: the president's order, had this to say on CNN's Stay
1:35
Speaker 1: of the Union. Listen carefully the words he chooses to
1:38
Speaker 1: describe the president's actions.
1:40
Speaker 3: Based on what you what CNN is reporting, with the
1:44
Speaker 3: Washington Post is reporting. Do you believe if there was
1:48
Speaker 3: a second strike to eliminate any survivors, that that constitutes
1:54
Speaker 3: a war crime?
1:55
Speaker 4: It seems to if that is true, if what has
2:00
Speaker 4: been reported is accurate, I've got serious concerns about anybody
2:07
Speaker 4: in that chain of command stepping over a line that
2:09
Speaker 4: they should never step over.
2:11
Speaker 2: We are not Russia, We're not a wreck.
2:14
Speaker 5: We hold ourselves to a very high standard of professionalism.
2:18
Speaker 5: And this is where I'm really troubled about this is
2:20
Speaker 5: because I have so much respect for people in the
2:23
Speaker 5: United States Navy. I served in the Navy for twenty
2:25
Speaker 5: five years, and there is no organization more professional than
2:29
Speaker 5: Navy seals, and they should be revered. And that's why
2:33
Speaker 5: I say, I hope what I've heard about this strike
2:37
Speaker 5: is not accurate.
2:38
Speaker 3: You mentioned that you are a captain in the Navy.
2:40
Speaker 3: If you receive that order, would you have carried it out?
2:43
Speaker 2: No?
2:44
Speaker 1: No, So there's yet again Senator Mark Kelly saying that
2:48
Speaker 1: the strikes to kill drug boat traffickers can constitute a
2:54
Speaker 1: war crime. It seems to if that's true, he claims,
2:59
Speaker 1: and says he wouldn't have carried out that order yet again,
3:03
Speaker 1: advocating for insubordination for members in our military to literally
3:08
Speaker 1: go rogue. He's not the only one that is saying that.
3:13
Speaker 1: Tim Kane, echoing other Democrats, says the first Caribbean boat
3:18
Speaker 1: strike rises to the level of a war crime if
3:22
Speaker 1: the story he says is true of what actually happened.
3:27
Speaker 1: He went on Sunday's CBS Faced the Nation and said
3:30
Speaker 1: the first military strike on an alleged drug boat in
3:33
Speaker 1: the Caribbean rises to the level of a war crime.
3:37
Speaker 1: The host saying, you're referring to the new Washington Post
3:40
Speaker 1: report that says that Secretary head Seth called for everyone
3:44
Speaker 1: on board the first suspected drug boat that was targeted
3:47
Speaker 1: to be killed. When two people survived, the military went
3:51
Speaker 1: back in reported with a follow up strike. What questions
3:54
Speaker 1: do you have for the Pentagon about that situation? Tim
3:58
Speaker 1: Kaine responding, Well, first, if that reporting is true, it's
4:02
Speaker 1: a very clear violation of the DD's own laws of
4:05
Speaker 1: war as well as international law is about the way
4:08
Speaker 1: you treat people who are in that circumstance, and so
4:12
Speaker 1: this rises to the level of a war crime if
4:14
Speaker 1: it's true. And the question that we've been asking for
4:17
Speaker 1: months or give us the evidence that the folks on
4:21
Speaker 1: board were really narco traffickers. In one instance, there were
4:25
Speaker 1: two survivors, one Colombian, one Ecuadorian and a different strike.
4:29
Speaker 1: Instead of arresting them and prosecuting them, the US picked
4:32
Speaker 1: them up and returned them to their home countries of origin,
4:35
Speaker 1: where they were released. So if they were narco traffickers,
4:40
Speaker 1: why would we do that? We need more evidence about that,
4:44
Speaker 1: and we definitely need the administration to finally answer the
4:47
Speaker 1: questions of why strike rather than interdict. If you know
4:51
Speaker 1: where the ships are, you can interdict, and when you do,
4:55
Speaker 1: you get evidence. You get individuals, you can squeeze them
4:58
Speaker 1: to give testament against their high you get evidence with
5:01
Speaker 1: the drug seizures. And finally, the other question that my
5:04
Speaker 1: colleagues and I are deeply worried about is the entire
5:08
Speaker 1: legal rationale for the strikes. We had to pry with
5:11
Speaker 1: a crowbar after weeks and weeks out of this administration
5:14
Speaker 1: to suppose legal rationale for the strikes international waters. It
5:19
Speaker 1: was very shoddy. Because it's classified, I can't tell you
5:23
Speaker 1: what's in it, but I can tell you it was
5:26
Speaker 1: not at all pervasive that these are legal actions. And so,
5:31
Speaker 1: together with a whole series of things, the early retirement
5:35
Speaker 1: the head of Southcomb, the news at the south Comb's
5:38
Speaker 1: lead attorneys said the strikes were not lawful, the decision
5:41
Speaker 1: of allies like the UK to stop sharing intelligence with
5:44
Speaker 1: the United States in this area because they believe the
5:46
Speaker 1: strikes are illegal. It's time for Congress to reign in
5:50
Speaker 1: a present who is deciding to wage war on his
5:53
Speaker 1: own and says so, which is not what the Constitution allows.
5:59
Speaker 1: So here's the new lie being put out by the Democrats.
6:04
Speaker 1: They're now wanting you to believe that the President units
6:06
Speaker 1: As America, who is keeping us safe from these narco terrorists,
6:10
Speaker 1: is somehow breaking the law. It's also very interesting that
6:14
Speaker 1: the narco terrists now best friend their legal counsel. Their
6:18
Speaker 1: lawyers are literally the Democratic Party and that's not the
6:23
Speaker 1: only one going on TV. Van Holland said the first
6:27
Speaker 1: Caribbean boat strike either was a war crime or now
6:30
Speaker 1: he says that the president flat out murdered the terrorists.
6:34
Speaker 1: Listen to his words.
6:37
Speaker 6: Let me ask you about that Washington Post report on
6:39
Speaker 6: the attack on that Venezuelan alleged drug vote. What do
6:44
Speaker 6: you make of what happened there? Do you think there
6:46
Speaker 6: was a war crime committed?
6:49
Speaker 7: Oh, I think it's very possible there was a war
6:51
Speaker 7: crime committed. Of course, for it to be a war crime,
6:54
Speaker 7: you have to accept the Trump administration's hold construct here
6:57
Speaker 7: that were at witches were in armed inflict, at war
7:01
Speaker 7: with this particular with the drug gangs. Of course they've
7:04
Speaker 7: never presented the public with the information they've got here,
7:08
Speaker 7: But it could be worse than that. Right, If that
7:10
Speaker 7: theory is wrong, then it's plane murder.
7:15
Speaker 6: The first strike is murdered in that case.
7:17
Speaker 2: That's correct. That's correct.
7:18
Speaker 7: Well, I'm saying that it's it's either murder from the
7:23
Speaker 7: first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I
7:25
Speaker 7: think you know the weight of the legal opinion here
7:29
Speaker 7: is that they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even
7:33
Speaker 7: if you accept their legal theory, that it is a
7:35
Speaker 7: war crime. And so I do believe that the Secretary
7:38
Speaker 7: of Defense should be held accountable for giving those kind
7:42
Speaker 7: of orders.
7:42
Speaker 6: And this is happening as of course, you have the
7:44
Speaker 6: Secretary of Events also saying that he wants to bring
7:47
Speaker 6: Senator Mark Kelly back to active duty to put him
7:51
Speaker 6: before a court martial for telling members of the military
7:55
Speaker 6: they shouldn't follow illegal orders. Let me ask you, if
7:58
Speaker 6: that happens, Senator Kelly's one of your colleagues, how will
8:02
Speaker 6: the Senate respond?
8:04
Speaker 7: Well, the Senate would be in uproar because this would
8:08
Speaker 7: be a blatantly illegal act and another example of the
8:12
Speaker 7: present's abuse of power. You know, the sixth that the
8:16
Speaker 7: president is talking about are people who served our country,
8:19
Speaker 7: unlike the president who decided not to go based on
8:23
Speaker 7: a bone spur. Apparently, so we have here six real
8:27
Speaker 7: folks who have been dedicated to our country in the military,
8:31
Speaker 7: who simply cited the law of the land, which is
8:34
Speaker 7: that our men and women in the military should follow
8:37
Speaker 7: lawful orders, which clearly has become more important than ever
8:41
Speaker 7: right now now that we have this disclosure about Secretary Hexseth,
8:46
Speaker 7: essentially saying kill them all.
8:48
Speaker 8: Yeah.
8:49
Speaker 1: So you listen there to Van Holland, he just accused
8:56
Speaker 1: the President and Pete Headseth a murder and if not murder,
9:02
Speaker 1: then war crimes. This is three top Democrats now clearly
9:09
Speaker 1: doing this in an orchestrated manner, going out there and
9:14
Speaker 1: saying that the president uniteds It's America. Defending the US
9:19
Speaker 1: from Narco Terrace is something that you should be so
9:23
Speaker 1: angry about that it should disqualify the President of the
9:25
Speaker 1: United States of America from being the President of the
9:29
Speaker 1: United States of America. This is exactly why so many
9:35
Speaker 1: men and women should be standing behind this president, because
9:39
Speaker 1: the Left will stop at nothing to try to take
9:43
Speaker 1: down this president. All right, I want to move to
9:47
Speaker 1: another important story, and this is a name that some
9:50
Speaker 1: of you may remember from politics, but it's an important
9:55
Speaker 1: person with a really big story, and it's about the
9:59
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley funding of the radical left and the WO
10:03
Speaker 1: agenda with billions of dollars. Nicole Shanahan is the ex
10:09
Speaker 1: wife of the Google co founder, a guy by the
10:12
Speaker 1: last name Brent. She has the former running mate, by
10:15
Speaker 1: the way, of RFK Junior and someone who personally signed
10:19
Speaker 1: nine figure philanthropy checks. She just went full whistle blower
10:26
Speaker 1: on the entire Silicon Valley as she describes it, the
10:30
Speaker 1: tech wife mafia, and how the tech wife mafia is used.
10:36
Speaker 1: Now those are her exact words. I want you to
10:40
Speaker 1: listen to what she had to say in this whistle
10:43
Speaker 1: blower type interview where she talks about the corruption of
10:48
Speaker 1: Silicon Valley and the corruption of the as she describes it,
10:53
Speaker 1: the tech wife mafia and what they are doing to
10:56
Speaker 1: influence your family, your kids, your grandkids, public education schools
11:03
Speaker 1: at the highest level. It is truly shocking. Listen to
11:07
Speaker 1: what she said.
11:10
Speaker 9: But what happened around the pandemic is that this whole
11:16
Speaker 9: other segment, what I don't think many of the tech
11:21
Speaker 9: mafia wives realize is that they were used to set
11:25
Speaker 9: the groundwork for what was called like the Reset, what
11:30
Speaker 9: is called generally as like the Reset by the Klaus Schwabs,
11:35
Speaker 9: like the Reset, the great Reset. Yeah. They I mean
11:38
Speaker 9: they openly talk about this great Reset. Yeah. So the
11:42
Speaker 9: tech wive mafias, I believe, were kind of being conscripted
11:46
Speaker 9: in many ways and their money, especially as being conscripted
11:48
Speaker 9: in to set the groundwork for the Great Reset.
11:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, specifically through.
11:58
Speaker 9: Specifically through a network of non NGEO advisors, relationship with Hollywood,
12:14
Speaker 9: relationship with Davos and their own companies. So if you
12:20
Speaker 9: look at like who's on these boards, who hangs out
12:23
Speaker 9: with each other, how these culture, how the culture of
12:28
Speaker 9: tech wealth works like Silicon Valley tech wealth, and that
12:31
Speaker 9: small group of people responsible for a huge amount of
12:34
Speaker 9: money and a huge amount of envy NGO activity across
12:38
Speaker 9: the United States. It's a really small group of people,
12:42
Speaker 9: and it's a really small group of people making these
12:43
Speaker 9: decisions and then and then completely blind to everything else
12:51
Speaker 9: that's going on and how their groundwork is being used
12:57
Speaker 9: to then enable these other policies, these great reset policies.
13:04
Speaker 9: You know, what this group of women doesn't realize is
13:07
Speaker 9: that in their haste, these women are all very busy.
13:11
Speaker 9: They have multiple properties, they have tons of staff, they
13:15
Speaker 9: have staff issues, chronic staff issues, Their kids are busy.
13:21
Speaker 9: Their kids oftentimes have some health issues as well. A
13:25
Speaker 9: lot of them have relationship issues with their husbands, and
13:31
Speaker 9: a lot of them themselves are like medicated on SSRIs
13:36
Speaker 9: and antidepressants and all of that because it's just overwhelming.
13:40
Speaker 9: So it's chaos, and these women find their meaning through
13:48
Speaker 9: their philanthropic work, and they find themselves like I would
13:54
Speaker 9: find myself. That was my self worth, was my philanthropic work,
13:58
Speaker 9: and I really believed in it. I really believe that
14:01
Speaker 9: I was giving black communities a chance to rise up
14:06
Speaker 9: out of oppression. I really believe that I was helping
14:09
Speaker 9: Indigenous communities rise up out of oppression. And now that
14:13
Speaker 9: I look back and see how all those grants are performing,
14:16
Speaker 9: you know, because my version of successes, those communities are
14:19
Speaker 9: actually uplifted. Yeah, not just more money pumped into them.
14:24
Speaker 9: Not just more money. No, the problems of the community
14:26
Speaker 9: have gotten worse. Crime in the community has gotten worse,
14:30
Speaker 9: mental health in the Native community, the Indigenous community has
14:33
Speaker 9: gotten worse. They will even say the Indigenous community will
14:36
Speaker 9: even say that their biggest supporters in Congress have been Republicans,
14:41
Speaker 9: but yet they continue to vote Democrat. Yeah right, I
14:47
Speaker 9: mean that is that is this, It's like the whole
14:53
Speaker 9: model is broken, the whole model makes everybody worse off,
14:58
Speaker 9: and now we're contending with the freaking great reset that
15:02
Speaker 9: we're now realizing is the terrible idea.
15:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and.
15:06
Speaker 9: That many of our climate changes use are geoengineering issues. Yeah. Well,
15:12
Speaker 9: which is like at the end of the day, they
15:13
Speaker 9: always go to that, they're like, but climate change, and
15:16
Speaker 9: then that really is the end all be all, Like
15:19
Speaker 9: you have to let us do this because of climate change. Yeah,
15:22
Speaker 9: social justice and climate change. It always boils down to
15:25
Speaker 9: those two things, and it gets progressive women one hundred
15:28
Speaker 9: percent of the time it does.
15:30
Speaker 3: It does.
15:31
Speaker 1: So let's just go back to some of the things
15:34
Speaker 1: that she said. Number when she said, this is clear
15:37
Speaker 1: groundwork being laid for the Great Reset. She says, their money,
15:41
Speaker 1: especially was being conscripted through a network of non governmental
15:45
Speaker 1: organizations advisors all right, Hollywood Davos and their own coming.
15:50
Speaker 1: So this is a worldwide thing, she says. She said,
15:53
Speaker 1: it's a group of really smart people, a small group
15:56
Speaker 1: of people, completely blind to how their groundwork is being
16:00
Speaker 1: used to enable these Great Reset policies. Then, she says,
16:05
Speaker 1: these women find their meaning through philanthropic work, right, so
16:09
Speaker 1: that would be a good thing. They don't realize they're
16:12
Speaker 1: actually being used. I really believe I was helping black
16:15
Speaker 1: communities and indigenous communities rise up, she said, But now
16:18
Speaker 1: the problems have gotten worse. Crime is worth mental health worst.
16:22
Speaker 1: The whole model is broken, she said. At the end
16:27
Speaker 1: of the day, they always go but climate change, social
16:31
Speaker 1: justice plus climate change against progressive women one hundred percent
16:35
Speaker 1: of the time. Now, if you look at what this
16:41
Speaker 1: really boils down to, this is the radical left, not
16:45
Speaker 1: just in the United States of America, but the radical
16:48
Speaker 1: left socialists, Marxists and communists around the world who have
16:54
Speaker 1: figured out how to take other radicals that have billions,
16:59
Speaker 1: these billionaires, and they connect with the wives and they say,
17:03
Speaker 1: you can have a huge difference, and you can give
17:06
Speaker 1: us all this money. And really what it's coming down to,
17:09
Speaker 1: it's not actually helping people. It's about political power and control.
17:14
Speaker 1: This is all about the great reset, and it's not
17:17
Speaker 1: just in the United States of America. It goes back
17:19
Speaker 1: to what she described in Davos, and by the way,
17:22
Speaker 1: absolutely correct in what she's describing here. She is telling
17:27
Speaker 1: you that what we've been warning you about is real,
17:30
Speaker 1: and she was the one that was signing the checks,
17:34
Speaker 1: and that she's also saying, look, a lot of us
17:37
Speaker 1: are taking advantage of they see these women. They have
17:41
Speaker 1: connections to billions of dollars or millions of dollars and
17:47
Speaker 1: they're like, great, we got to get a piece of
17:49
Speaker 1: that action. We got to get a piece of that.
17:52
Speaker 1: And we'll go to these women and we'll tell them
17:55
Speaker 1: that they're having and making a phenomenal impact, a phenomenal day.
18:00
Speaker 1: Friends in people's lives. Just write us a chat, give
18:03
Speaker 1: us the money in Bam. We're happy, we're good, everything's fine.
18:07
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong here. It's all good. And what really
18:11
Speaker 1: ends up happening, as you heard her say there, as
18:13
Speaker 1: she showed you, is they're taking the money for a
18:17
Speaker 1: grand reset. I think this is one of those moments
18:22
Speaker 1: where everyone should really, really really pay attention to what
18:27
Speaker 1: was ces said there and see it for what it is.
18:32
Speaker 1: She is telling you the game plan, she's telling you
18:36
Speaker 1: how they're doing it. She's telling you what their overall
18:40
Speaker 1: goal is. She was a part of it. When they
18:44
Speaker 1: tell you what they're doing, believe them. Notice it's not
18:47
Speaker 1: actually about all the work she thought she was getting done.
18:50
Speaker 1: I think that's another really important part of this. What
18:55
Speaker 1: you're hearing there and what she's telling you is I
18:59
Speaker 1: also think extreme important. They're using what they say they're
19:04
Speaker 1: going to use the money for, not even close to
19:06
Speaker 1: what it actually is about. It is a total lie,
19:12
Speaker 1: a lie that is made up, a lie that is
19:16
Speaker 1: clearly made up just to get you on board, when
19:22
Speaker 1: the reality is it's all about power and control. President
19:30
Speaker 1: Trump now is warning all Americans about a real national
19:33
Speaker 1: security threat. It is people coming into this country that
19:36
Speaker 1: were unvetted from Afghanistan and other nations, including a wide
19:40
Speaker 1: open border where people on the terrorists watch lists were
19:43
Speaker 1: allowed to come in under the Biden administration. What are
19:47
Speaker 1: Democrats saying after the attack on the National guardsmen and
19:50
Speaker 1: another Afghan restrueg that has been arrested for planning a
19:55
Speaker 1: terrorist attack, They're now saying the President is being a
19:58
Speaker 1: racist for say exactly what needed to be said, that
20:02
Speaker 1: there's a real national security threat in this country that
20:06
Speaker 1: was allowed in here because a lack of vetting by
20:09
Speaker 1: our government. I want to go back to the terror attack,
20:13
Speaker 1: and I want to remind you that four years ago,
20:16
Speaker 1: we knew that the Biden administration was lacking a vetting
20:21
Speaker 1: process of Afghan nationals that were inviting in essence, terrorists
20:26
Speaker 1: to come into our country that did actually happen. We
20:30
Speaker 1: knew it was a problem, and we knew the administration
20:32
Speaker 1: was lying about it. We also know Anthony Blincoln at
20:36
Speaker 1: the time confirmed that child brides had been evacuated with
20:41
Speaker 1: older men from Afghanistan into the United States of America,
20:45
Speaker 1: yet again showing that there was a lack of vetting
20:50
Speaker 1: of the people that were allowed to come into America.
20:53
Speaker 1: I want you to listen to Tony Blinkin confirming child
20:56
Speaker 1: bribes that were evacuated with older men from Afghanistan, and
21:01
Speaker 1: we let it happen in this country. We didn't stop,
21:05
Speaker 1: we didn't ask questions, and we did not vet them.
21:09
Speaker 1: But first, I want to tell you about our friends
21:10
Speaker 1: over Patriot Mobile. Every so often, something happens that reminds
21:14
Speaker 1: us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford
21:18
Speaker 1: to take our rights for granted. We must draw a
21:20
Speaker 1: line in the sand, and our friends at Patriot Mobile
21:24
Speaker 1: have been doing just that for more than twelve years.
21:27
Speaker 1: The truth is there is only one provider that boldly
21:31
Speaker 1: stands in the gap for Americans who believe freedom is
21:34
Speaker 1: we're fighting for, and that company is Patriot Mobile. Not
21:37

Speaker 1: call you make. All right, So now we get to
23:00
Speaker 1: this audio of Anthony Blincoln testifying in Congress Center Cruz
23:05
Speaker 1: asking him questions about the lack of vetting of so
23:08
Speaker 1: many people coming into this country from Afghanistan, including old
23:11
Speaker 1: men with extremely young girls quote taking them as their wives.
23:16
Speaker 1: Listen to this, But.
23:17
Speaker 10: I want to ask you flat out, did the State
23:21
Speaker 10: Department give the Taliban a list or multiple list of
23:24
Speaker 10: Americans and or Afghans that we wanted.
23:26
Speaker 2: Out those reports?
23:28
Speaker 8: And the idea that we would do anything to endanger
23:31
Speaker 8: our citizens or anyone else at a time when we
23:33
Speaker 8: were trying to save their lives, is flat out wrongs.
23:37
Speaker 2: Let me just like a yes or no, did you
23:38
Speaker 2: give them?
23:39
Speaker 8: Let me get Let me be very clear, a senator,
23:41
Speaker 8: if I may please thank you. In limited instances where
23:47
Speaker 8: we were seeking to get a bus or a group
23:51
Speaker 8: of people through a checkpoint, we gave a manifest to
23:55
Speaker 8: the people at the checkpoint to demonstrate that those people
23:57
Speaker 8: were expectedly.
23:58
Speaker 2: How many names were on the list.
24:00
Speaker 8: You gave it doesn't matter because they all.
24:02
Speaker 2: Dozen, the hundreds, thousands, give us some order of magnitude.
24:05
Speaker 2: This happened in a handful of situations where to dozens.
24:08
Speaker 2: So is it your testimony, it wasn't hundreds. I want
24:10
Speaker 2: to understand, did you give them thousands of names?
24:12
Speaker 8: Now we did not, Okay, hundreds, not going to put
24:15
Speaker 8: a number on it, but it was again.
24:17
Speaker 2: Why not?
24:17
Speaker 10: This is a hearing to discover how many names and
24:20
Speaker 10: how many of those individuals you gave the Taliban the
24:22
Speaker 10: name to have been targeted for torture or murder.
24:25
Speaker 8: Senator, by definition, these were in limited instances with a
24:29
Speaker 8: bus or a group of people to get them through
24:31
Speaker 8: a checkpoint. They got through the checkpoint.
24:34
Speaker 10: So not only did you fail to evacuate Americans and
24:38
Speaker 10: Green card holders who were there, but you also brought
24:41
Speaker 10: in tens of thousands of Afghans who had wholly inadequate vetting,
24:47
Speaker 10: bringing many of them to the United States. And one
24:49
Speaker 10: of the things that has done is that has brought
24:51
Speaker 10: in a humanitarian crisis to America. Child marriage and domestic
24:57
Speaker 10: abuse tragically or widespread in Afghanistan. According to the World
25:01
Speaker 10: Health Organization, more than half of the women in Afghanistan
25:06
Speaker 10: are married as child brides and ninety percent of women
25:09
Speaker 10: are subject to domestic abuse ninety percent. On August twenty seventh,
25:14
Speaker 10: according to public reports, you distributed internal documentation highlighting numerous
25:20
Speaker 10: instances and intake centers of sexual abuse in which much
25:25
Speaker 10: older grown Afghan males appeared with children. Young children claimed
25:31
Speaker 10: they were their brides, claimed they were their wives, and
25:35
Speaker 10: the document said the State Department urgently requested guidance.
25:39
Speaker 2: That was your word urgently.
25:42
Speaker 10: Subsequently, Department of Homeland Security said that it showed the
25:46
Speaker 10: desperation of families that they were willing to give little
25:49
Speaker 10: girls to grown men to be subject to sexual abuse
25:53
Speaker 10: and child wives. My question is as follows, did you
25:57
Speaker 10: receive that urgent guidance? How many child ldren have been
26:00
Speaker 10: subject to sexual abuse? What have you done to rescue
26:04
Speaker 10: young children from illegal and abusive relationships after being brought
26:11
Speaker 10: to America by the State Department.
26:13
Speaker 8: Across the entire government, everyone involved in the evacuation effort,
26:17
Speaker 8: whether it's at a transit point in one of the
26:21
Speaker 8: countries that we negotiated with, whether it's here in the
26:24
Speaker 8: United States at Dulles or Philadelphia or the military bases,
26:28
Speaker 8: we have all of our officers at extreme vigilance to
26:33
Speaker 8: look for and to deal with any cases or concerns
26:39
Speaker 8: that he's.
26:40
Speaker 2: The urgent guidance And how many child guides have you seen?
26:43
Speaker 8: I don't know the specific guidance you're referring to. I'm
26:45
Speaker 8: happy to look to look at it.
26:47
Speaker 2: So is there not urgency to discover its abuse?
26:52
Speaker 8: We could detect and deal with at any cases and
26:56
Speaker 8: there have been, to my knowledge, a limited number of
26:59
Speaker 8: cases where we have separated people because we were concerned.
27:02
Speaker 2: That they were how they are.
27:05
Speaker 8: The cases I'm aware of a handful.
27:08
Speaker 1: So this was a disaster that was predictable. This is
27:11
Speaker 1: a disaster that is still unfolding because we don't know
27:15
Speaker 1: how many people are actually in this country that should
27:18
Speaker 1: have never been here, which brings me to the Trump administration.
27:23
Speaker 1: They're having to clean up a massive national security threat,
27:27
Speaker 1: which brings me to Attorney General Pam Bondi. She said
27:30
Speaker 1: on this week's broadcast a Fox News Sunday that the
27:33
Speaker 1: suspected shooter of the two National Guard troops in d
27:36
Speaker 1: C not only should have never been in this country,
27:40
Speaker 1: but host Martha McCollums said, quote, let's start with the
27:43
Speaker 1: question of vetting. The Washington Post reported this counter terrorism
27:47
Speaker 1: officials did that the Guard shooting suspect before he entered
27:52
Speaker 1: the US. One of the individuals they talked to said
27:56
Speaker 1: the suspect was vetted years ago before working with the
27:59
Speaker 1: CIA inf Game Aanistan, and then again before he arrived
28:01
Speaker 1: in the US in twenty twenty one. Those examinations involved
28:05
Speaker 1: both the National counter Terrorism Center as well as the CIA.
28:10
Speaker 1: So where are we in the tracking the path of
28:13
Speaker 1: the suspect? What was something that was missed in the
28:17
Speaker 1: vetting process? Or was he possibly radicalized once he got here?
28:22
Speaker 1: Now listen closely to what Pam Bondi the AG said
28:24
Speaker 1: in response. She said, quote, So, first, the one that
28:29
Speaker 1: you talked about that happened days before the Thanksgiving shooting,
28:33
Speaker 1: that one he was he had been through Operation Allies
28:38
Speaker 1: Welcome program, minimal to little vetting. I was on the
28:44
Speaker 1: phone last night with Secretary Christynome at length. They did
28:48
Speaker 1: not do biometrics, they did not do social media. Now
28:53
Speaker 1: they're clearly referring to the quote vetting process under the
28:56
Speaker 1: Biden administration, which even when they claimed they vetted people,
29:00
Speaker 1: it wasn't very good or even real even close to
29:03
Speaker 1: what you should have done. Back to her comments, they
29:06
Speaker 1: did very little, if minimal, vetting on all of these people.
29:11
Speaker 1: And now, to take a step back, we have one
29:13
Speaker 1: point five million backlog of people that have come into
29:16
Speaker 1: our country. And as you said, these people are being radicalized.
29:21
Speaker 1: We know that this shooter who shot her National guardsmen
29:25
Speaker 1: in DC the day before Thanksgiving, he was radicalized. You're
29:30
Speaker 1: going to hear a lot more about that. And these
29:32
Speaker 1: people should have never been in our country. Under Joe Biden,
29:36
Speaker 1: he opened our borders. Of course, MS thirteen TDA members
29:42
Speaker 1: twenty minutes from where you are right now, Shannon, we
29:45
Speaker 1: caught one of the worst MS thirteen members in the
29:47
Speaker 1: country of the whole Eastern Seaboard top members, because Joe
29:53
Speaker 1: Biden let him walk into our country. So you may
29:57
Speaker 1: hear a narrative by the left that the this guy
30:00
Speaker 1: was vetted and so something happened after the vetting was
30:04
Speaker 1: done the right way. What we're actually learning is that
30:07
Speaker 1: the vetting was a joke, that it was barely a
30:10
Speaker 1: check your box type of vetting. It certainly was not
30:13
Speaker 1: a vetting to keep us safe. And now this administration
30:17
Speaker 1: is going to have to unwind and look back at
30:20
Speaker 1: countless people that were led into this country that should
30:24
Speaker 1: have never been here in the first place. Don't forget
30:27

30:29
