0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with
0:04
Speaker 2: you and Senator they can't even keep it together at
0:07
Speaker 2: the White House. Forty eight hours before, they continued to
0:11
Speaker 2: call Donald Trump a threat lessen forty eight hours after
0:16
Speaker 2: someone tried to kill him, they're now back to the
0:19
Speaker 2: rhetoric of we hate him, you should hate him, he's
0:22
Speaker 2: a threat to our country.
0:24
Speaker 3: Look, Democrats, sadly, are truly unhinged.
0:27
Speaker 4: We saw just a couple of days ago.
0:29
Speaker 3: The second assassination tempt on President Donald Trump in sixty
0:33
Speaker 3: four days, and yet just a couple of days later,
0:37
Speaker 3: the Democrats are not saying we need to protect Donald Trump.
0:41
Speaker 3: Joe Biden is not saying we need to provide a
0:43
Speaker 3: full presidential detail to protect him. Kamala Harris is not
0:46
Speaker 3: saying protect Donald Trump. Instead, they're doubling down on He's terrible,
0:51
Speaker 3: He's evil, He's a threat. It is disgraceful. Is there
0:54
Speaker 3: no decency? I'm reminded of the McCarthy hearings. Have you
1:00
Speaker 3: no decency?
1:01
Speaker 5: Sir?
1:02
Speaker 3: At long last? Have you no decency? They will not
1:06
Speaker 3: even stand up and say we are going to assign
1:09
Speaker 3: Secret Service protection to ensure that neither of the presidential
1:15
Speaker 3: candidates are assassinated. Instead their hate dominates them. We're also
1:20
Speaker 3: going to talk about an incredible story, a remarkable story
1:23
Speaker 3: where Israel detonated pagers that had been distributed to Hesbela
1:30
Speaker 3: terrorists and Hesbela terrists ended up being wounded and even
1:33
Speaker 3: in some cases killed. It is an extraordinary story. We're
1:37
Speaker 3: going to talk about that. And finally, we're going to
1:39
Speaker 3: talk about the vote on the Senate floor that happened
1:41
Speaker 3: this week on in vitro fertilization and how the Democrats
1:45
Speaker 3: cynically engage in a political move to block my legislation
1:50
Speaker 3: to protect IVF because they wanted to see the American
1:53
Speaker 3: voters and have an issue a campaign on. All of
1:56
Speaker 3: those are issues we're going to get into in today's pod.

3:58
Speaker 2: today Center. This first story is just straight up shocking
4:03
Speaker 2: to me. The White House was being asked some questions
4:06
Speaker 2: today and right away, what did the White House do?
4:09
Speaker 2: They went back to their old ways, Jean Pierre calling
4:13
Speaker 2: Donald Trump a threat to democracy. Now, the good news
4:17
Speaker 2: is there was at least one person that was there
4:20
Speaker 2: willing to ask the question, and that was Fox News
4:25
Speaker 2: saying this.
4:26
Speaker 6: Two days since somebody allegedly tried to kill Donald Trump again,
4:32
Speaker 6: and you're here at the podium in the White House
4:34
Speaker 6: briefing room calling him a threat. How many more assassination
4:38
Speaker 6: attempts on Donald Trump until the president and the vice
4:41
Speaker 6: president and you pick a different word to describe Trump
4:44
Speaker 6: other than threat.
4:48
Speaker 7: Peter, if anything from this administration, I actually completely disagree
4:56
Speaker 7: with the premise of your question. The question that you're
4:59
Speaker 7: asking it is also incredibly dangerous in the way that
5:03
Speaker 7: you're asking it, because American people are watching. And to
5:08
Speaker 7: say that, to say that from an administration who has
5:12
Speaker 7: consistently condemned political violence, from an administration where the president
5:17
Speaker 7: called the former president and was thankful, grateful that he
5:22
Speaker 7: was okay, from an administration who has called out January sixth,
5:27
Speaker 7: called out the attack of Paul Pelosi, called out and
5:31
Speaker 7: said we need to lower the temperature after the Butler incident.
5:37
Speaker 7: And now for you to make that kind of comment
5:43
Speaker 7: in your question, because your question involved the comment and
5:46
Speaker 7: a statement, and you know it is that is also
5:54
Speaker 7: incredibly dangerous.
5:55
Speaker 2: When I love it, the interest is that is also
5:57
Speaker 2: incredibly dangerous. Okay, So she admitting, yes, we were using
6:00
Speaker 2: dangerous rhetoric. Yes, we are purposely calling Donald Trump a threat. Yes,
6:05
Speaker 2: we're saying to all the crazies up there, keep up
6:07
Speaker 2: the good work.
6:07
Speaker 1: Two of you have tried, keep going.
6:11
Speaker 4: So Ben, let me ask you something.
6:13
Speaker 3: Look, that whole answer from Kareem John Pierre was outrageously offensive,
6:17
Speaker 3: But I want to ask you what do you make
6:20
Speaker 3: of the two words she uses the Butler incident? That
6:26
Speaker 3: may be one of the most chilling euphemisms I've ever heard,
6:31
Speaker 3: the Butler incident. I mean, she didn't say the attempted
6:36
Speaker 3: assassination of President Trump. She didn't say when an assassin
6:41
Speaker 3: shot President Trump in the head, hit him and came
6:46
Speaker 3: within a half inch of murdering him. She just says
6:50
Speaker 3: the Butler incident. That is disgraceful. And they cannot bring
6:56
Speaker 3: themselves even to have a moment of graciousness, a moment
7:02
Speaker 3: of civility, a moment of respect for democracy. Look at
7:09
Speaker 3: that same White House press conference, Karine Jean Pierre also
7:15
Speaker 3: referred to Donald Trump as a quote threat to democracy. Now,
7:21
Speaker 3: that's incendiar air rhetoric. It's rhetoric that is obviously designed
7:27
Speaker 3: to continue to encourage people who hate him, to continue
7:31
Speaker 3: to encourage lunatics. And the sad thing is, can they
7:37
Speaker 3: not bring themselves to say It would be really nice
7:42
Speaker 3: to hear Joe Biden stand up and say I disagree
7:45
Speaker 3: with Donald Trump. I think his policies are wrong. But
7:49
Speaker 3: what happened this weekend was horrific. It was wrong, it
7:52
Speaker 3: was evil. What happened in Butler, Pennsylvania was horrific, It
7:55
Speaker 3: was wrong, it was evil, and understand there's no place
7:58
Speaker 3: for violence, and we the Biden Harris administration, we are
8:03
Speaker 3: going to do everything necessary to protect Donald Trump and
8:05
Speaker 3: that includes look on you and I on this podcast
8:07
Speaker 3: two days ago on Monday, we called for the Biden
8:12
Speaker 3: Harris administration to provide a full Presidential Secret Service protection
8:18
Speaker 3: detailed to Donald Trump given two assassination tempts in sixty
8:22
Speaker 3: four days. It is the obvious step. And on Monday
8:26
Speaker 3: I said, listen, if Kamala Harris has any sense, she
8:29
Speaker 3: would stand up and call for this now. Sadly, I
8:32
Speaker 3: guess I over overestimated Kamala. I overestimated Joe Biden because
8:37
Speaker 3: they're not capable. They hate him so much that they're
8:41
Speaker 3: not capable of saying this election will be decided by
8:45
Speaker 3: the voters. We will not allow some crazed lunatic to
8:51
Speaker 3: threaten to murder one of the candidates. The voters of
8:54
Speaker 3: America are going to side and we're going to do
8:56
Speaker 3: everything necessary to keep him safe. They can't say that
9:00
Speaker 3: because their hatred so consumes who they are.
9:04
Speaker 1: It's not just them.
9:06
Speaker 2: And I think this is a stark moment because the
9:10
Speaker 2: White House and for people that don't know how it works,
9:13
Speaker 2: you have a comms team, you have the chief of staff,
9:17
Speaker 2: you have people that meet. They obviously had very clear
9:20
Speaker 2: conversations about Donald Trump and the second assassination attempt on him,
9:24
Speaker 2: and they clearly made the decision for Jean Pierre to
9:27
Speaker 2: go out there and to continue to refer to Donald
9:29
Speaker 2: Trump as a threat to America, a threat to democracy,
9:32
Speaker 2: a threat to our way of life that they didn't
9:34
Speaker 2: want to ratchet down. And so when I see that center,
9:37
Speaker 2: I just have to now just be honest with you.
9:40
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, you guys want I mean, do
9:42
Speaker 2: you want him dead? Because you're not giving them protection,
9:46
Speaker 2: You're not trying to stop it, you're not condemning it.
9:50
Speaker 2: You're going out there and you're using the same damn
9:52
Speaker 2: words that got us to this point. So is that
9:55
Speaker 2: the game plan now, like nothing else has worked, So
9:58
Speaker 2: you crazies will keep giving you the words you need
10:01
Speaker 2: to be inspired? Is that how far gone we are
10:04
Speaker 2: in this country, especially on the democratic side of things.
10:09
Speaker 3: Look, I don't want to impute that intention to them,
10:12
Speaker 3: but what I will say is that neither Joe Biden
10:15
Speaker 3: or Kamala Harris is standing up and leading right now.
10:18
Speaker 3: Neither one of them is willing to say we need
10:22
Speaker 3: the same protection that Trump had when he was president,
10:27
Speaker 3: and frankly, the same protection that he will have when
10:29
Speaker 3: he's re elected president of November. Like that would be
10:33
Speaker 3: the gracious, the honorable thing. And by the way, it
10:35
Speaker 3: might even help Kamala Harris politically to demonstrate that she's
10:40
Speaker 3: not just a hard leftist partisan. But I just believe
10:46
Speaker 3: that's so. Look, I think the hard left, they are
10:50
Speaker 3: so consumed by hate, they really do believe. They believe
10:54
Speaker 3: he's hittler, they believe he's the devil, and so they
10:57
Speaker 3: can't bring themselves that, they can't bring themselves to be
11:02
Speaker 3: honorable and gracious and say, it would be horrible for America.
11:07
Speaker 3: Horrible if either of the two presidential candidates were murdered
11:13
Speaker 3: before election day. Look, it would be horrible for America.
11:16
Speaker 3: I don't want I certainly don't wish any violence on Kamala.
11:18
Speaker 3: I'm glad she has a Secret Service detail, as we
11:21
Speaker 3: talked about on Monday. I pray for Donald Trump's safety,
11:24
Speaker 3: I pray for Joe Biden's safety. I pray for Kamala
11:26
Speaker 3: Harris's safety. But why is it? What is it with
11:32
Speaker 3: this White House what is it with Democrats that they
11:35
Speaker 3: can't reciprocate and say the same thing.
11:37
Speaker 2: Well, and even on CNN they had a former FBI
11:41
Speaker 2: counter terrorism expert on and he was just telling the truth.
11:45
Speaker 2: He said on CNN, it's the rhetoric that got us here,
11:49
Speaker 2: and this second shooting was clearly quote politically motivated, meaning
11:54
Speaker 2: it's the politics here and the rhetoric being used in
11:57
Speaker 2: the politics. And this was said on I don't know
12:00
Speaker 2: if this was his last appearance ever, but he did
12:02
Speaker 2: say it once.
12:03
Speaker 1: What does the fact that he wanted to survive say
12:05
Speaker 1: to you?
12:07
Speaker 5: It says that he's not First, he's not suicidal. Apparently
12:11
Speaker 5: he wasn't going to take his own life if he
12:13
Speaker 5: was almost being captured. Clearly we saw that he was
12:15
Speaker 5: captured without that, and it tells me that he's probably
12:18
Speaker 5: much more politically motivated. The last shooter in Pennsylvania, I
12:22
Speaker 5: don't want to say his name because I don't want
12:23
Speaker 5: to promote him in any way, but he was clearly
12:26
Speaker 5: a guy that was looking for the notoriety of taking
12:28
Speaker 5: that shot. I would think we're going to find that
12:31
Speaker 5: this guy's extremely politically motivated and that he probably was
12:34
Speaker 5: spurred on by much of the political diatribes that are
12:37
Speaker 5: going on these days talking about Trump, equating him to
12:40
Speaker 5: Hitler and things like that. So I don't think this
12:42
Speaker 5: is the last we'll see if crazy. He's out there
12:44
Speaker 5: trying to do this.
12:45
Speaker 2: He's warning this is not going to be the last
12:47
Speaker 2: ye crazy as if you guys keep it.
12:49
Speaker 3: Up and the Lighthouse couldn't refrain from the horrible and
12:55
Speaker 3: hateful rhetoric for even forty eight hours. They're so invested
12:59
Speaker 3: in it, would it be that hard for them to say,
13:01
Speaker 3: you know what, we don't like Trump's policies. We think
13:04
Speaker 3: they're bad for America.
13:05
Speaker 4: By the way, You.
13:06
Speaker 3: And I don't, but they do, and then that's legitimate
13:09
Speaker 3: political discourse. But they can't. They have to describe him
13:14
Speaker 3: as an existential threat to our nation, and they have
13:17
Speaker 3: to know that that only encourages yet more crazies to
13:23
Speaker 3: do more crazy things. And when you combine that rhetoric
13:29
Speaker 3: with the continued decision, So Joe Biden, Kamala Harris has
13:33
Speaker 3: done nothing zero to increase the protection around Donald Trump
13:38
Speaker 3: that we know of. They're certainly not out there saying
13:41
Speaker 3: we will make sure this will never happen again. If
13:44
Speaker 3: you wish harm on either of the presidential candidates. You
13:47
Speaker 3: will fail, you will be arrested, you will be shot,
13:50
Speaker 3: you will not succeed. They're not saying that, and and
13:54
Speaker 3: that is an incredible dereliction of duty and dereliction of
13:57
Speaker 3: their responsibility.
14:00
Speaker 2: It's also another part of the story that has really exposed.
14:03
Speaker 2: And I'm not gonna call them the liberal mean anymore.
14:05
Speaker 2: I'm just going to call them the state sponsored media
14:07
Speaker 2: because that's what they are. And what they're now doing
14:10
Speaker 2: is they're victim shaming.
14:12
Speaker 4: Uh.
14:12
Speaker 2: It's it's the same way that you see people that
14:14
Speaker 2: victim shame an attractive young female after she's sexually assault
14:18
Speaker 2: They're like, well, if she didn't wear that beautiful dress
14:20
Speaker 2: and and and and and dress provocatively dot dot dot,
14:23
Speaker 2: it's victim shaming. And now they're doing with Donald Trump's
14:26
Speaker 2: like wow, if Donald Trump wouldn't just go play golf,
14:29
Speaker 2: then this wouldn't happen. If he wouldn't have outdoor rallies,
14:32
Speaker 2: this wouldn't happen. It's actually his fault that he that
14:35
Speaker 2: he's that he's getting shot at. This was Joe Scarborough
14:38
Speaker 2: first chance back right, first time back on TV after
14:42
Speaker 2: someone tried to kill Trump and what was their conversation
14:46
Speaker 2: talking about victim shaming and mentioning a golf course that
14:49
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with Trump International Golf Club in
14:53
Speaker 2: West Palm Beach. He used the point about a golf course.
14:57
Speaker 1: I think it was in Virginia. Listen.
14:58
Speaker 8: Secret Service showed a new president Donald Trump photos of
15:04
Speaker 8: how you can shoot long range pictures of him while
15:07
Speaker 8: he golfed at his Virginia club and warned that an
15:11
Speaker 8: assassin could kill him the same way. But Trump insisted
15:15
Speaker 8: the clubs were safe and he was going to keep
15:17
Speaker 8: playing golf, despite the fact that his habit quote at
15:24
Speaker 8: the semi public courses put his life at risk for
15:26
Speaker 8: many years.
15:27
Speaker 9: Anyone who has had any experience with the Secret Service
15:31
Speaker 9: know that it is in a way, I would say teamwork.
15:36
Speaker 9: Where the Secret Service can do what they can do,
15:38
Speaker 9: they also have to warn you as to when their
15:42
Speaker 9: job is harder or their job is made impossible.
15:46
Speaker 2: I mean, let's just victims shame, and it's his fault, folks.
15:49
Speaker 2: He deserves it well.
15:51
Speaker 3: Then, to be fair, no other president of the United
15:54
Speaker 3: States as ever in the history of this country played golf.
15:57
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is the only president reckless and irresponsible is
16:01
Speaker 3: to go to a golf course.
16:02
Speaker 2: Right, valid point, right now, yeah, and that we've never
16:05
Speaker 2: seen any other president playing golf.
16:07
Speaker 1: Good point.
16:07
Speaker 3: Hey, look look look I want to go back to this.
16:09
Speaker 3: That is friggin' absurd. Let's be clear. Gerald Ford went
16:14
Speaker 3: to the golf course repeatedly. Richard Nixon went to the
16:17
Speaker 3: golf course repeatedly. Jimmy Carter went to the golf course.
16:20
Speaker 3: Ronald Reagan went to the golf course. George Herbert walker
16:22
Speaker 3: Bush went to the golf course. Bill Clinton went to
16:25
Speaker 3: the golf course. Barack Obama went to the golf course.
16:27
Speaker 3: Every president of our lifetimes and before has gone to
16:32
Speaker 3: the golf course. And yet what does MSNBC say it's
16:36
Speaker 3: his fault? How dare he play golf? Because understand, they're
16:41
Speaker 3: operating in a world where they hate Trump so much
16:44
Speaker 3: that they view the only place he should be safe
16:48
Speaker 3: is in an underground bunker at Norad in Colorado, because
16:51
Speaker 3: if he's out in public that their view as well. Look,
16:54
Speaker 3: he's taking a risk, he's going to be killed. That
16:57
Speaker 3: is like that whole exchange. And and and you know
17:00
Speaker 3: the line well with the Secret Service, it's it's a
17:03
Speaker 3: back and forth. It's a conversation. Well, you know what,
17:06
Speaker 3: every other president they had secret Service, and yet somehow
17:09
Speaker 3: they managed to play golf. Why because the Secret Service
17:12
Speaker 3: was able to protect them. Here there is not a
17:15
Speaker 3: sufficient detail to protect Donald Trump. Why. I believe because
17:19
Speaker 3: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Alejandro Mayorgas are so
17:23
Speaker 3: political they do not want to assign the resources necessary
17:27
Speaker 3: to protect Trump. And and and so that I got
17:29
Speaker 3: to say that exchange just pisses me off.
17:34
Speaker 2: It's constant, and it's it's constantly happening. Now they're not
17:39
Speaker 2: holding back at all. And and we have a media
17:42
Speaker 2: with a narrative that a, it's his fault and he's
17:44
Speaker 2: a threat to this country.
17:46
Speaker 8: Uh.
17:46
Speaker 2: We put together a couple of different montages of the
17:50
Speaker 2: left and the rhetoric that they used against him. These
17:53
Speaker 2: the highest people in our government and the and the
17:56
Speaker 2: state sponsored media.
17:58
Speaker 1: This is what they said.
17:59
Speaker 2: And I'm gonna remind people here's just some of their
18:01
Speaker 2: biggest words they've used to attack Trump.
18:05
Speaker 1: I just don't even know why there aren't uprisings of
18:08
Speaker 1: all of the country, and maybe there will be.
18:10
Speaker 3: People need to start taking to the streets.
18:12
Speaker 6: This is a dictator.
18:14
Speaker 7: You know there needs to be unrest in the streets
18:16
Speaker 7: for as long as there's unrest in our lives.
18:18
Speaker 3: Enemies of the state.
18:20
Speaker 10: Show me where it says that protests are supposed to
18:22
Speaker 10: be polite and peaceful.
18:24
Speaker 7: Do something about your dad's immigration practices effectless, come they
18:28
Speaker 7: go low.
18:29
Speaker 9: How do you resist the temptation to run up and
18:31
Speaker 9: wring her neck?
18:32
Speaker 5: The biggest terror threat in this country is white men,
18:37
Speaker 5: most of them.
18:37
Speaker 1: Radicalized up to the right. I thought he should have
18:40
Speaker 1: punised him in the face.
18:41
Speaker 9: They said, even if you lost, he insulted your why
18:43
Speaker 9: he's on the escalator and called Mexican's rapist?
18:45
Speaker 1: Immerged.
18:45
Speaker 9: He said, well, what do you think I should have done?
18:46
Speaker 5: So?
18:47
Speaker 3: I think you should punish him in the face and
18:48
Speaker 3: then gotten out of the race.
18:49
Speaker 1: You would have been a hero. I'd like to punch
18:51
Speaker 1: him in the face.
18:52
Speaker 5: I said, if we're in high school, I take you
18:53
Speaker 5: behind the gym and beat the hell out of him.
18:55
Speaker 1: Punch some people in the face.
18:58
Speaker 3: When was the last time you're assassinated a president?
19:01
Speaker 10: They're still going to have to go out and put
19:03
Speaker 10: a bullet in Donald Trump.
19:04
Speaker 1: And that's a fact. Look is, his character is stabbed
19:10
Speaker 1: to death. Where is John Wilkes Booth when you need
19:13
Speaker 1: him in this way? Where is John Boogsworth when you
19:17
Speaker 1: need him?
19:17
Speaker 2: This has been going on since sixteen and you go
19:21
Speaker 2: back and you look at these and you're like, oh, yeah,
19:23
Speaker 2: this makes sense.
19:24
Speaker 1: One plus one center equals too.
19:26
Speaker 2: You say this long enough, you do this long enough,
19:29
Speaker 2: there are going to be people that are inspired to
19:31
Speaker 2: do what they're.
19:32
Speaker 1: Doing against Donald Trump right now.
19:34
Speaker 2: And you got back to DC and I have I
19:37
Speaker 2: want to know how many people they are even talking
19:40
Speaker 2: about the fact that clearly Donald Trump doesn't have adequate police,
19:45
Speaker 2: you know, security from the Secret Service.
19:49
Speaker 1: Has anybody outraged about this?
19:52
Speaker 3: So the Senate has been back in session for two days.
19:54
Speaker 3: I've not heard a single Democrat talk about it, not
19:56
Speaker 3: one Wow and look you played that montage listen. I
20:03
Speaker 3: heard most of those clips in real time. I heard
20:05
Speaker 3: most of those clips when they were said. I gotta say,
20:08
Speaker 3: hearing him back to back again just as infuriating. It
20:13
Speaker 3: is a level of grotesque rhetoric. And to be clear,
20:16
Speaker 3: there is overheated rhetoric on both sides, and I wish
20:20
Speaker 3: both sides would tamp it down some I think we
20:23
Speaker 3: should keep our disagreements based on issues, based on substance.
20:27
Speaker 3: On this podcast, you and I try to keep our
20:30
Speaker 3: focus on policy disagreements, so we talk a lot about,
20:33
Speaker 3: for example, the policy the egregious policy mistakes of Joe Biden,
20:38
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris, open borders, allowing murderers and rapists into this country,
20:43
Speaker 3: allowing potential terrorists in this country. That's all legitimate. Those
20:47
Speaker 3: are policy disagreements. But there's a qualitative difference between that
20:52
Speaker 3: and what you just played. Where's John Wilkes Booth when
20:56
Speaker 3: you need him? That is that is a level of
20:59
Speaker 3: po buonousness, a level of toxicity that I think is
21:04
Speaker 3: overwhelmingly on the left. They have convinced themselves that Donald
21:09
Speaker 3: Trump is hitler. You may disagree with this policy, is fine,
21:12
Speaker 3: that's what politics is about. Go make the case to
21:14
Speaker 3: the voters. But calling for his murder and the quote
21:20
Speaker 3: you played there about putting a bullet in him is
21:23
Speaker 3: exactly that. That is way, way, way outside the bounds.
21:30
Speaker 3: And yet they're not going to stop.
21:32
Speaker 2: As we approach the one year mark of the heroic
21:34
Speaker 2: events of October seventh in Israel, the International Fellowship of
21:39
Speaker 2: Christians and Jews is inviting you to join them in
21:42
Speaker 2: Flags of Fellowship, an opportunity for Christians to remember the victims,
21:47
Speaker 2: honor the heroes, and pray for those still held hostage,
21:52
Speaker 2: as well as highlight the unwavering support of Christians for
21:56
Speaker 2: Israel and the Jewish people. On October sixth, thousands of
22:01
Speaker 2: Christians will be praying for those impacted by the war
22:05
Speaker 2: and planning flags across America to honor the victims. Of
22:08
Speaker 2: October seventh, I want you to join us and letting
22:12
Speaker 2: the world know that Christians stand with Israel. Your generous
22:17
Speaker 2: donation today will not only provide a flag symbolizing your
22:20
Speaker 2: support in churchyards across America, but it will also support
22:24
Speaker 2: the Fellowship's ongoing emergency efforts in the Holy Land. We
22:29
Speaker 2: cannot stay silent, and we cannot stay on the sidelines
22:32
Speaker 2: as anti Semitism spreads like wildfire in this country and
22:36
Speaker 2: around the world. Israel needs us now. Visit support IFCJ
22:44
Speaker 2: dot org to stand in solidarity with the Jewish people.
22:47
Speaker 2: That's one word, support IFCJ dot org. That support IFCJ
22:54
Speaker 2: dot org center. This next story has a lot to
22:57
Speaker 2: do with the issue of Israel, and rarely do I
23:01
Speaker 2: see a headline come across that. Actually, I'm excited because
23:06
Speaker 2: I feel like this is just one of those headlines
23:08
Speaker 2: where you're like, finally the good guys win and the
23:12
Speaker 2: bad guys got something that was coming to them in
23:15
Speaker 2: an amazing story, in an amazing way. And for people
23:19
Speaker 2: that don't know what we're talking about, hundreds of hes
23:23
Speaker 2: Blah operatives were injured, simultaneously killed. Some of them even
23:30
Speaker 2: killed after pagers, Like I'm talking about old school pagers
23:34
Speaker 2: that they used to communicate when the terrorist organization these
23:37
Speaker 2: cells exploded, and after they got a beat, they would
23:43
Speaker 2: many of them pick up the pager and get it
23:45
Speaker 2: close to their face and there was a it looked
23:47
Speaker 2: like it was a legitimate page we're being told that
23:49
Speaker 2: came across there from Hesblah. And then the pager exploded,
23:55
Speaker 2: and the the in these areas, these hotbeds where they
23:59
Speaker 2: have has so operatives, the hospitals and the pictures coming
24:03
Speaker 2: out of the hospital on the videos show countless terrorists
24:06
Speaker 2: screaming and yelling for help in the hospitals. This was
24:10
Speaker 2: an amazing story.
24:13
Speaker 3: It really is extraordinary. And the backstory we're just getting
24:17
Speaker 3: the details. We're going to find out more, but the
24:19
Speaker 3: backstories apparently that Massad, which is the equivalent of the
24:23
Speaker 3: CIA in Israel. Masad intercepted a shipment of new pagers
24:28
Speaker 3: for Hesbela months ago and they rigged them with high explosives,
24:33
Speaker 3: and in particular, they placed an explosive called penterithol tetra
24:42
Speaker 3: nitrate PETN, which is incredibly explosive. They placed it inside
24:48
Speaker 3: the batteries of the pagers. So they intercepted them. They
24:52
Speaker 3: were going to Hesbela, and then they trusted Hesbela, hey
24:55
Speaker 3: distribute this to your terrorist, and so Hesbela put them
24:59
Speaker 3: in the hands of t Now, look, they're using pagers
25:01
Speaker 3: because they didn't want their cell phones.
25:02
Speaker 4: To be intercepted. So it's old school.
25:05
Speaker 3: But what Hesbela didn't realize is that as they were
25:08
Speaker 3: distributing pages and they were deciding who gets them, I
25:11
Speaker 3: feel confident they were not giving pagers to the newspaper
25:15
Speaker 3: delivery guy, They were not giving pagers to the fruitstand salesmen.
25:19
Speaker 3: They were giving pagers to terrorists. They were giving pages
25:21
Speaker 3: to people that Hesbela wanted to be able to page
25:24
Speaker 3: and say, hey, let's commit acts of terrorism. And then
25:28
Speaker 3: once Israel had these pages distributed, yesterday they exploded them
25:33
Speaker 3: and in one week, I'll say, you said hundreds of people. Look,
25:36
Speaker 3: the reports are thousands of terrorists who had these pages explode,
25:40
Speaker 3: and and and there were multiple fatalities according to public reports,
25:44
Speaker 3: and there were thousands of injuries. And I get to say,
25:49
Speaker 3: that is an amazing thing for Israel to simultaneously target
25:55
Speaker 3: Hesbela terrorists wherever they are. It's whoever has Bulah gave
26:01
Speaker 3: a page or two if they had that pager on
26:04
Speaker 3: their body. And I got to say, by the way,
26:07
Speaker 3: more than a few of them had their pagers in
26:09
Speaker 3: their pants, and without getting too graphic, when they exploded.
26:15
Speaker 2: The memes that were flowing out there in the world
26:16
Speaker 2: were incredible. And the story of this as it was
26:20
Speaker 2: unfolding on TV, I want you to hear this report
26:22
Speaker 2: from Fox so.
26:23
Speaker 1: At ten thirty here in New York.
26:25
Speaker 10: There was a fascinating story developing right now in the
26:27
Speaker 10: Middle East, specifically in the country of Lebanon. There are
26:30
Speaker 10: numerous reports moments ago that claim hundreds of Hezbolla members
26:35
Speaker 10: have been seriously injured after the pagers they were using
26:39
Speaker 10: to communicate exploded. Mike Tobins got more from Tel Aviv
26:44
Speaker 10: to try and tie this together. What do you got now, Mike, Hello.
26:48
Speaker 11: Well, this is the kind of thing Bill that Israel
26:50
Speaker 11: will never confirm, certainly not in the early stages of it.
26:54
Speaker 11: But it's this remarkable development out of Lebanon where as
26:57
Speaker 11: many as a thousand Hesbulafi have suddenly been injured.
27:01
Speaker 1: Rather seriously.
27:02
Speaker 11: What we've seen through some of the security video that's
27:04
Speaker 11: coming out so far, the pagers that they were wearing
27:07
Speaker 11: suddenly play an audio message and then explode, resulting in
27:11
Speaker 11: serious injury.
27:12
Speaker 1: And we're talking again to Reuter's news.
27:14
Speaker 11: Agency is saying that as many as a thousand people
27:16
Speaker 11: were injured. So x creates a scene where you've got
27:20
Speaker 11: all of the ambulances scrambling all over Beyroot in places
27:23
Speaker 11: south of Beirut to try to deal with the overwhelming
27:25
Speaker 11: number of injured that they have right now. These pagers, apparently,
27:29
Speaker 11: according to three different security sources who were speaking of
27:31
Speaker 11: the Reuters News agency, were the latest wave of pages
27:35
Speaker 11: that these Hesbela operatives were getting with the belief that
27:38
Speaker 11: this was secure communication that Israel couldn't tap into whatever
27:43
Speaker 11: they were saying and give up some information. So they
27:45
Speaker 11: were carrying these pages apparently and something came out where
27:49
Speaker 11: you heard this audio signal came out and all of
27:52
Speaker 11: the pagers detonated all at once, which is really a
27:55
Speaker 11: remarkable development which would minimize collateral damage. It doesn't mean
27:59
Speaker 11: that there is no collateral damage. We're hearing some reports
28:02
Speaker 11: that the Iranian ambassador to Lebanon, an individual named moch
28:06
Speaker 11: Taba Amani, was among the injured. So you have a
28:09
Speaker 11: very chaotic and dramatic development in Lebanon right now, with
28:14
Speaker 11: as many as a thousand Hesbela fighters injured.
28:16
Speaker 1: Bill, So thank you Mike for that.
28:18
Speaker 10: I just stand by one second, Dana.
28:20
Speaker 1: This is really an intriguing story. I wanted to ask
28:22
Speaker 1: Mike a question.
28:23
Speaker 9: If you're still there, Mike, I was the ambassador sure
28:26
Speaker 9: holding one of these pages?
28:28
Speaker 1: Was it on his person?
28:30
Speaker 11: I don't have that information, but as it stands to reasion,
28:32
Speaker 11: you could be standing near someone who had one of
28:35
Speaker 11: these small explosions, presumably on their waist, and be injured
28:38
Speaker 11: by it as well.
28:39
Speaker 9: What's interesting is this connection right between Iran and Hesbela.
28:45
Speaker 11: Well exactly, I mean Iran. HESBLA is the forward deployed
28:49
Speaker 11: army for Iran. It has always been supported by Iran,
28:53
Speaker 11: so presumably they would have contact with each other whoever
28:56
Speaker 11: the operative is.
28:57
Speaker 10: And there's a lot of video coming out on social
28:59
Speaker 10: media right now. We're going to be judicious and how
29:01
Speaker 10: we air that because some of it is graphic.
29:05
Speaker 1: So stand by.
29:06
Speaker 10: The hospitals say they're just being overwhelmed throughout the country,
29:10
Speaker 10: especially in the capital city of bay Russo this is
29:13
Speaker 10: some of the wash there.
29:14
Speaker 1: Mike, thank you, get back on it by the way,
29:16
Speaker 1: et cetera.
29:17
Speaker 2: I feel bad for like the random dude today that
29:20
Speaker 2: like spilt some you know, hot water, some boiling water himself,
29:23
Speaker 2: but he has to go to the hospital. He's like,
29:24
Speaker 2: I'm not a terrorist. I'm not a terrorists, I promised,
29:26
Speaker 2: Like okay, buddy, sure you're not. No, no, no, like this
29:29
Speaker 2: legit normal injury. And then and then you hear this like,
29:32
Speaker 2: oh yeah, the ambassador from Iran he got hurt too.
29:37
Speaker 2: A Did he have the pager and so he was
29:40
Speaker 2: in direct communication with with Hespola or was he hanging
29:43
Speaker 2: out with a bunch of terrorists.
29:44
Speaker 1: Either way, it's pretty damning for them. Don't worry.
29:47
Speaker 2: I'm sure the White House won't respond to that and
29:48
Speaker 2: say that's a threat to the world at all.
29:52
Speaker 1: No, they're just say Donald Trump is.
29:54
Speaker 3: Look the fact that Iran's ambassador to Lebanon, whose name
29:58
Speaker 3: is much Taba Moni, was injured by an explosion of
30:02
Speaker 3: a pager. It makes transparent which what is obvious. Hesbela
30:07
Speaker 3: and Jamas are both agents of Iran. Iran provides ninety
30:13
Speaker 3: percent of the funding to Hesbela. Iran provides ninety percent
30:16
Speaker 3: of the funding Jumas. Iran funded the October seventh death
30:22
Speaker 3: squads that murdered over twelve hundred Israelis, that raped Israeli
30:27
Speaker 3: women and little girls, and that took multiple Americans hostage
30:33
Speaker 3: and then murdered multiple Americans. And so at one level,
30:37
Speaker 3: it's it's not surprising, of course Iran's ambassador had a
30:40
Speaker 3: damn pager because Hesbela works for him. But it still
30:45
Speaker 3: makes abundantly clear. I mean, there is something about this
30:53
Speaker 3: response by Israel that that has a simplicity to it.
31:00
Speaker 3: They trusted Hesbela to give the pagers to whomever is
31:05
Speaker 3: working for them. So Hesbela determined who gets killed, who
31:09
Speaker 3: gets serious injuries, who gets body parts blown off, whoever.
31:15
Speaker 3: Hesbela says, we wanted a pager whenever we need you.
31:18
Speaker 3: And apparently the ambassador from Iran is among those people
31:22
Speaker 3: who had one of those pagers. And you know, it
31:26
Speaker 3: is particularly amazing when you consider that Joe Biden and
31:31
Speaker 3: Kamala Harris in the past four years have flowed one
31:36
Speaker 3: hundred billion dollars to Iran, while Iran is funding Hesbela,
31:41
Speaker 3: the Biden Harris administration is sending money to them, and
31:46
Speaker 3: this is it was an amazing military strike by Israel,
31:51
Speaker 3: And in particular what is so powerful. Look, if you're
31:54
Speaker 3: engaged in warfare, as obviously Israel is, and they're engaged
31:57
Speaker 3: in warfare against Hamas and gods, they're engaged in warfare
32:01
Speaker 3: against Hesbela and Lebanon. But anytime you're engaged in warfare,
32:04
Speaker 3: if you have, say information that a terrorist or multiple
32:08
Speaker 3: terrorists sort of building, and let's say you fire a
32:10
Speaker 3: missile or drop a bomb and you try to kill
32:13
Speaker 3: the terrorists, there are significant risks of collateral damages. And
32:17
Speaker 3: that's true in every war. That's true at all warfare,
32:20
Speaker 3: and by the way, it is exponentially more true in
32:24
Speaker 3: this battle because Hamas and Hesbela both deliberately use human shields.
32:29
Speaker 3: In other words, they locate their terrorists where they're surrounded
32:32
Speaker 3: by civilians because they want anytime Israel tries to take
32:35
Speaker 3: out one of the terrorists, they want innocent civilians to
32:38
Speaker 3: be killed so they can use it to demonize Israel.
32:41
Speaker 3: I got to say, this strategy, I've never seen anything
32:44
Speaker 3: like it. It's something out of like a James Bond
32:48
Speaker 3: movie or a spy novel where they distribute the pagers.
32:53
Speaker 3: It may come out that there are some relatively small
32:57
Speaker 3: number of people who were in a and bystanders that
33:01
Speaker 3: maybe were right next to someone with a pager and
33:03
Speaker 3: got injured. But presumably the explosions are fairly controlled and
33:09
Speaker 3: they're designed. If you have a pager in your pants
33:12
Speaker 3: and it blows up, well maybe you shouldn't be taking
33:15
Speaker 3: a pager from a terrorist organization who's presumably paging you
33:19
Speaker 3: to murder people. And so it is precisely targeted to
33:24
Speaker 3: take out terrorists in a way that I've never seen before.
33:29
Speaker 1: I'm sure the UN will come out with a condemning statement.
33:31
Speaker 1: Don't worry.
33:32
Speaker 2: I'm sure because I'm just waiting for it to come
33:35
Speaker 2: out saying well they didn't know who exactly had these pagers.
33:38
Speaker 2: I'm sure we'll see all that propaganda that will hit
33:40
Speaker 2: the pages shortly.
33:42
Speaker 1: Let me tell you by Blackout Coffee.
33:43
Speaker 2: Every day, I start my morning with a premium cup

33:56
Speaker 2: got coffee.
33:58
Speaker 1: I've got to be awake. I'm gonna be ready to
33:59
Speaker 1: do the news.

Speaker 2: I can sound like I'm tired. Well, Blackout Coffee helps
34:05
Speaker 2: me do that every day with not an average cup
34:07
Speaker 2: of coffee, not even like a good cup of coffee.
34:09
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the best cup of coffee of my life.
34:11
Speaker 8: Now.
34:12
Speaker 2: The reason why I love Blackout Coffee is because they
34:14
Speaker 2: are an unabashedful hardcore conservative companies standing up for conservative values.
34:19
Speaker 2: In the coffee space. There are a lot of woke
34:23
Speaker 2: liberal companies. And when I said that, you probably had
34:26
Speaker 2: instantly a couple of coffee brands that jumped into your head. Well,
34:30
Speaker 2: that's why I want you to try Blackout Coffee, because
34:33
Speaker 2: once you switch, you're never going back. Now, I have
34:36
Speaker 2: to drink coffee in the morning. I also drink some
34:38
Speaker 2: sometimes afternoon or night, depending on what time we, for example,
34:41
Speaker 2: do this show and I'll switch to flavored coffee. They
34:43
Speaker 2: have amazing flavored coffee for late afternoon for me, and
34:47

Speaker 2: percent off your first order Centator. There's another really important story,
35:33
Speaker 2: and it's not getting as much press as it should,
35:35
Speaker 2: and that's why I think many people actually listen to
35:37
Speaker 2: the show because they get info like this. You may remember,
35:41
Speaker 2: if you go backwards, there was a big fake controversy
35:45
Speaker 2: by virtually every Democratic operative, the people running for office, congressmen,
35:51
Speaker 2: senators on the left, and it was over IVF. Conservatives
35:56
Speaker 2: have been in favor of IVF and protecting IVF for
36:00
Speaker 2: I mean, as long as I can remember. My kids
36:04
Speaker 2: are in vitro fertilization kids. Without it, I probably wouldn't
36:08
Speaker 2: have kids. And I'm so thankful for the technology. And
36:12
Speaker 2: so when this controversy happened in Alabama, you teamed up
36:16
Speaker 2: with Katie Britt to say, Okay, we're gonna put our
36:19
Speaker 2: money where our mouth is and make sure that we
36:20
Speaker 2: protect IVF. And there was an opportunity to do that
36:25
Speaker 2: in Congress, and the Democrats stopped it.
36:28
Speaker 3: Why so, look that this story is incredibly revealing of
36:33
Speaker 3: everything that's wrong with Washington and how corrupt a lot
36:37
Speaker 3: of politics is.
36:38
Speaker 4: Let's start with IVF.
36:40
Speaker 3: You and I both strongly and unequivocally support in vitro fertilization.
36:45
Speaker 3: I think IVF is an incredible medical miracle. It has
36:50
Speaker 3: enabled millions of parents, moms and dads to have kids
36:55
Speaker 3: that couldn't otherwise have kids. Two percent of all live
36:59
Speaker 3: births in America could come from my IVF. There are
37:02
Speaker 3: over eight million children born via IVF, including your kids. Yeah, look,
37:10
Speaker 3: that is an amazing A very close staffer of mine
37:13
Speaker 3: who is with me most days, we were talking about
37:16
Speaker 3: this issue as I was fighting to defend IVF, and
37:18
Speaker 3: he told me, much to my surprise, he said, you
37:20
Speaker 3: know what, I was born via IVF. I'm an IVF kid. Wow. Like,
37:24
Speaker 3: that's amazing, and I think IVF is extraordinary. Now, following
37:32
Speaker 3: a decision of the Alabama Supreme Court concerning IVF, there
37:37
Speaker 3: was enormous uncertainty. There was enormous fear and enormous concern
37:42
Speaker 3: that IVF would be in jeopardy, to be clear, in Alabama.
37:47
Speaker 3: When that concern was raised, the state legislature acted incredibly
37:52
Speaker 3: quickly to pass legislation making clear that IVF would be
37:55
Speaker 3: protected in Alabama. So, as a real practical matter, I
38:02
Speaker 3: believe there is zero threat to IVF at America. Why well,
38:06
Speaker 3: let's take the US Senate. In the US Senate, there
38:08
Speaker 3: are one hundred senators. To the best of my knowledge,
38:11
Speaker 3: all one hundred senators support IVF. I do not know
38:15
Speaker 3: of a single senator in either.
38:17
Speaker 4: Party who opposes IVF.
38:19
Speaker 3: But yet, there was genuine concern, There was confusion that
38:24
Speaker 3: IVF might be in jeopardy. And this is where Democrats
38:27
Speaker 3: and the corporate media had an intense political interest to
38:32
Speaker 3: flame that fear and to encourage that confusion. And so
38:38
Speaker 3: as that was happening, I saw that I was dismayed.
38:41
Speaker 3: And I will tell you so. When the senate's in session,
38:44
Speaker 3: Republican senators, we have lunch every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday together,
38:47
Speaker 3: so all the Republican senators together. And Katie brit the
38:50
Speaker 3: Senator from Alabama, has become a good friend. She's been
38:52
Speaker 3: a guest on this podcast. She stood up at one
38:55
Speaker 3: lunch and she gave an impassion speech to the other
38:59
Speaker 3: republic consenators about how important IVF was and how she
39:04
Speaker 3: was hearing from from women and men, although mostly women,
39:07
Speaker 3: but parents and would be parents across Alabama who were
39:11
Speaker 3: incredibly concerned IVF was in jeopardy. And he said, she said,
39:15
Speaker 3: we've got to protect that. I listened to what she said,
39:18
Speaker 3: and so I went to her an approach her and said, listen,
39:21
Speaker 3: U support IVF ice sport. IVF let's draft legislation that
39:27
Speaker 3: puts a clear, unequivocal protection into federal statutory law to
39:32
Speaker 3: make clear that no state and no local government can
39:36
Speaker 3: ban IVF. Let's find common grounds.
39:38
Speaker 1: She agreed.
39:40
Speaker 3: I drafted the legislation, we did it together, we filed it. Now,
39:46
Speaker 3: the Democrats want to fearmonger on IVF. So there's a
39:49
Speaker 3: different bill that they call an IVF bill. That is
39:51
Speaker 3: that is introduced by Tammy Duckworth, the very liberal Democrat
39:54
Speaker 3: from Illinois. The Tammy Duckworth quote IVF bill is not
39:58
Speaker 3: an IVF bill. It's a radical abortion bill. It would
40:02
Speaker 3: give the Secretary of HHS Health and Human Services broad
40:05
Speaker 3: authority to, under that bill protect abortion in a vast
40:10
Speaker 3: variety of circumstances. Also, the Duckworth bill explicitly overturns the
40:17
Speaker 3: protections of religious liberty under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
40:20
Speaker 3: I support IVF, but I certainly don't want to force
40:23
Speaker 3: a physician to participate in IVF if it's against their
40:28
Speaker 3: religious faith. It's not against my religious faith, but if
40:31
Speaker 3: it's against theirs, I respect everyone's religious liberty to decide, Okay.
40:36
Speaker 3: I don't want to personally participate in it. And yet
40:39
Speaker 3: the Democrats they do want to force, let's someone to
40:43
Speaker 3: potentially violate their own religious faith to participate in something
40:47
Speaker 3: that they have moral concerns about.
40:49
Speaker 9: And so.
40:52
Speaker 3: Yesterday Chuck Schumer teed up a vote. It's the second
40:56
Speaker 3: time in a couple of months on the Tammy Duckworth bill. Now,
41:00
Speaker 3: the reason he ted up the vote is because he
41:02
Speaker 3: knew it would fail, and it was written in such
41:05
Speaker 3: a way as to be filled with poison pills as
41:08
Speaker 3: to force any Republican with principles who believes in life
41:15
Speaker 3: to vote against it, because this would empower a Joe
41:18
Speaker 3: Bidener Kamala Harris administration to go after laws protecting unborn
41:23
Speaker 3: children in states across this country. This was an abortion bill,
41:26
Speaker 3: it was not an IVF bill, and it was again
41:28
Speaker 3: designed to trample religious liberty. So yesterday on the Senate floor,
41:34
Speaker 3: I went to the Senate floor along with Katie Britton.
41:36
Speaker 3: We tried to pass our IVF bill and I stood
41:38
Speaker 3: up and gave a speech in support of it. Katy
41:40
Speaker 3: Britt stood up and gave a speech in support of it,
41:43
Speaker 3: and I asked for unanimous consent to pass our bill.
41:47
Speaker 3: And what happened The Democrats stood up and objected. They
41:52
Speaker 3: said no, we will not allow this to pass. And
41:55
Speaker 3: we had a debate back and forth and I want
41:57
Speaker 3: to encourage you, if you care about this issue, go
41:59
Speaker 3: listen to the debate, Listen to my speech, listen to
42:01
Speaker 3: Katie Britt's speech, and then listen to Patty Murray, the
42:03
Speaker 3: Democrat from Washington State who objected, because the entire point
42:11
Speaker 3: of what the Democrats were doing was a purely political exercise.
42:15
Speaker 3: If they actually wanted to protect IVF, all they had
42:20
Speaker 3: to do was very simple, not say two words, not
42:24
Speaker 3: say the words I object. If they had not said
42:28
Speaker 3: those two words today, the Senate would have unanimously passed
42:34
Speaker 3: my legislation protecting IVF. But from the Democrat's perspective, that
42:38
Speaker 3: would have been a catastrophic disaster because if we actually
42:43
Speaker 3: pass a strong statutory protection for IVF, then they can't
42:47
Speaker 3: run millions of dollars to campaign ads scaring voters into
42:51
Speaker 3: saying the mean Republicans want to take away IVF. So
42:54
Speaker 3: they objected to Katie Britz and my legislation because they
42:59
Speaker 3: don't want to protect IVF. And a point that I
43:02
Speaker 3: made in the debate, I said, listen, the Democrat bill
43:06
Speaker 3: was drafted deliberately with poison pills. They're objective. They wanted
43:11
Speaker 3: to Republicans to vote no, because they don't actually want
43:13
Speaker 3: to pass their bill. What they want to do is
43:16
Speaker 3: force Republicans to vote no so they can run ads say, oh,
43:20
Speaker 3: Republicans are a post to IVF. That is a lie.
43:23
Speaker 3: Not a single Republicans a post IVF. A couple of
43:25
Speaker 3: months ago, when we had this debate, one of the
43:27
Speaker 3: people who joined Katie and me on the Senate floor
43:29
Speaker 3: was Roger Marshall. Roger Marshall, Republican Senator from Kansas, is
43:33
Speaker 3: a physician. He is an obgyn who has delivered thousands
43:38
Speaker 3: of babies, and he actually has performed IVF procedures for
43:43
Speaker 3: hundreds of parents. He literally was an IVF doctor. And
43:47
Speaker 3: yet the Democrats talking point is an IVF doctor is
43:50
Speaker 3: apposed to IVF. It's absurd. So understand they drafted their
43:55
Speaker 3: bill with poison pills because their objective was to make
43:58
Speaker 3: Republicans vote against him, and all but two of us did.
44:03
Speaker 3: My bill, and Katy's bill has no poison pills in it.
44:06
Speaker 3: Every Democrat agrees with every word of our bill. There's
44:09
Speaker 3: not a word in it that they disagree with. Their
44:12
Speaker 3: problem is if it passes, the issue they want to
44:17
Speaker 3: run against goes away, and they don't want the issue
44:21
Speaker 3: to go away, and so sadly they objected it. And
44:25
Speaker 3: I got to tell you, this is an example of
44:27
Speaker 3: where the corrupt corporate media matters. When I was giving
44:30
Speaker 3: my speech, when Katy was giving her speech, there were
44:32
Speaker 3: no reporters in the gallery. If you read any of
44:35
Speaker 3: the press coverage, the reporters all said. The headlines today
44:40
Speaker 3: were Republicans block bill to protect IVF. And you know what,
44:45
Speaker 3: the corporate media virtually none of them covered the fact
44:49
Speaker 3: that we had a bill to protect IVF the Democrats blocked.
44:54
Speaker 3: Part of the reason the Democrats are willing to do
44:56
Speaker 3: that is they know the media will not cover what
44:58
Speaker 3: they're doing.
45:00
Speaker 2: Credible. Go watch the speech. It's up on your Twitter account.
45:04
Speaker 2: I retweeted out as well, so you can grab it
