0:05
Speaker 1: on the radio.
0:05
Speaker 2: Welcome.
0:06
Speaker 1: It's really nice to have you with us as well.
0:07
Speaker 1: And as if you're listening to show for the first time,
0:10
Speaker 1: don't forget we do this show as a podcast as well,
0:12
Speaker 1: So grab Verdict with Ted Cruz wherever you get your podcasts. Senator,
0:16
Speaker 1: We've got a lot to talk about on today's show.
0:18
Speaker 1: There's a lot happening in the US and also around
0:20
Speaker 1: the world.
0:21
Speaker 3: Well, I got to say today's podcast late, like the
0:25
Speaker 3: classic TV show Sesame Street, is brought to you by
0:29
Speaker 3: the letter h H for hypocrisy. We're gonna talk about hypocrisy,
0:33
Speaker 3: and we're gonna tie four bits of hypocrisy together. We're
0:36
Speaker 3: going to start with New York Governor Kathy Hokel and
0:39
Speaker 3: the utter hypocrisy of everyone she chased out of the state.
0:43
Speaker 3: She is now desperately beggy for them to come back.
0:46
Speaker 3: We're gonna start with her. We're then gonna go to
0:49
Speaker 3: the far left loon who's been nominated to run for
0:53
Speaker 3: Senate in the state of Texas, James Tylerico. We're gonna
0:56
Speaker 3: introduce you to some weird, weird stuff believes.
1:00
Speaker 2: They're going to have a barbecue contest.
1:02
Speaker 4: I heard, indeed we are.
1:05
Speaker 3: And then we're going to get to Joe Kent, Joe Kent,
1:09
Speaker 3: who just ostentatiously resigned from working for President Trump. We're
1:13
Speaker 3: going to talk about Joe Kent, and we're going to
1:15
Speaker 3: introduce him to someone who has very different views from him,
1:18
Speaker 3: named Joe Kent. And then finally we're going to talk
1:22
Speaker 3: about Caesar Chavez, the hero to the left. He was
1:25
Speaker 3: held up as an icon except for one minor detail
1:28
Speaker 3: that he was allegedly a child rapist. Those are the
1:32
Speaker 3: left wing hypocrites that we're going to break down and
1:36
Speaker 3: give you the facts and what's happening with all four today.
1:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, and somebody ate their weedies this morning, by the way,
1:41
Speaker 1: So this is going to be a really fun show. Hey,
1:44
Speaker 1: if you are like me and you're sick and tired
1:46
Speaker 1: of giving your money to woke leftist companies that fight
1:49
Speaker 1: against your values, then there's one bill you've got every
1:52
Speaker 1: month that you need to switch to Patriot Mobile. America
1:56
Speaker 1: is entering the two hundred and fiftieth year, and the
1:58
Speaker 1: direction of this country is being decided right now in
2:01
Speaker 1: our culture and our economy, and who we choose to
2:04
Speaker 1: support matters more than ever. Most wireless companies don't care
2:10
Speaker 1: who you are or what you believe. They just want
2:13
Speaker 1: your money. Patriot Mobile they're different. For more than twelve years,
2:16
Speaker 1: they've stood with Americans who believe freedom is worth defending,
2:21
Speaker 1: funding the Christian Conservative movement when others stay silent.
2:25
Speaker 2: That's what they do. So here's the deal.
2:27
Speaker 1: You don't have to give up quality or service when
2:30
Speaker 1: you switch to Patriot Mobile. They deliver premium priority access
2:35
Speaker 1: on all three major US networks, so you'll get the
2:38
Speaker 1: same or better coverage than you have today. Think switching
2:42
Speaker 1: as a hassle, It isn't anymore in twenty twenty six.
2:45
Speaker 1: You keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade, and
2:48
Speaker 1: their one hundred percent US based support team can activate
2:51
Speaker 1: you in minutes, still paying off a device. Patriot Mobile
2:55
Speaker 1: even offers a contract buyout. This is a defining year.
3:00
Speaker 1: We must work together to save our country. Go to
3:03
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com, slash ferguson or call ninety seven
3:08
Speaker 1: to two Patriot use the promo code ferguson for a
3:12
Speaker 1: free month of service. I use Patriot Mobile and you
3:16
Speaker 1: can too patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or ninety seven
3:19
Speaker 1: to two Patriot switch today. All right, Senator, so let's
3:23
Speaker 1: start with your favorite Sesame Street letter h Today and
3:27
Speaker 1: the governor of New York.
3:29
Speaker 2: She starts with an age. There.
3:31
Speaker 1: I gotta give her a little credit. I think you're
3:33
Speaker 1: gonna be too mean. I appreciate when a leader admits
3:36
Speaker 1: they're wrong. I had a bed in my head of
3:39
Speaker 1: which leader was going to basically blink. First her begging
3:42
Speaker 1: people to come back, or Gavin Newsom in California.
3:45
Speaker 2: She's clearly a better leader.
3:47
Speaker 1: She's admitting defeat much earlier on the Gavin Newsom is
3:50
Speaker 1: So I gotta give her some props for that.
3:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, but let's let's go on a time machine.
3:54
Speaker 3: Let's go on a time machine back to twenty twenty
3:56
Speaker 3: two and twenty twenty two, Kathy Hokeel said, if you're
4:00
Speaker 3: a conservative, if you're a job producer, if you actually
4:05
Speaker 3: add value, if you are not currently on welfare and
4:08
Speaker 3: not suckling on the teet of government, then get the
4:12
Speaker 3: hell out of New York. And by the way, maybe
4:15
Speaker 3: you don't believe it when I say that give a
4:17
Speaker 3: listen to what she said as she was ordering job
4:20
Speaker 3: producers and conservatives to get out of New York.
4:22
Speaker 4: This is twenty twenty two. Give a listen, and we're here.
4:25
Speaker 5: To say that the era of Trump and Zelden and
4:31
Speaker 5: mon Arro, just jump on a bus and head down
4:33
Speaker 5: to Florida where you belong. Okay, get out of town.
4:37
Speaker 5: Get out of town, because you don't represent our values.
4:42
Speaker 4: You are not New Yorkers.
4:44
Speaker 2: Now send her.
4:45
Speaker 1: To be clear, I'm totally fine with governors telling people
4:47
Speaker 1: to get the hell out if they're like illegal immigrants
4:49
Speaker 1: or terrorists or rapists or murderers, out of their state
4:52
Speaker 1: and leave and never come back. But this is a
4:54
Speaker 1: little creepy from the governor of New York at the time.
4:56
Speaker 4: Yeah.
4:57
Speaker 3: No, she was telling every Republican in the state, lead
4:59
Speaker 3: because you're not a New Yorker. And you know what,
5:02
Speaker 3: an awful lot of people took her up on it.
5:04
Speaker 3: I have said before, so I have named long Ago,
5:07
Speaker 3: I named Gavin Newsom the Texas Realator of the Year,
5:12
Speaker 3: and I've also named Comrade Mondami the Florida Realator of
5:17
Speaker 3: the Year. And and by the way, Kathy Hokeel was
5:21
Speaker 3: was Mondami. Before Mondamie was cool, she was saying, get the.
5:24
Speaker 2: Hell out, and you know laster for Florida, right.
5:28
Speaker 3: Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers said, I agree, you
5:33
Speaker 3: people are nuts, your batcrap crazy, and I am out
5:37
Speaker 3: of here. And then suddenly this year Kathy Hokele has
5:41
Speaker 3: noticed she has a problem, and again, don't let me
5:44
Speaker 3: put words in her mouth. Give a listen to what
5:47
Speaker 3: her problem is.
5:48
Speaker 6: And being conscious of the facts that I need people
5:51
Speaker 6: who are high net worth to support the generous social
5:55
Speaker 6: programs that we want to have in our state. Right now,
5:59
Speaker 6: there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up.
6:03
Speaker 4: Okay, cut me the checks.
6:05
Speaker 6: I mean, just if you want to be supportive, but
6:08
Speaker 6: maybe the first step should be go down to Palm
6:10
Speaker 6: Beach and see who you can bring back home. Because
6:13
Speaker 6: our tax base has been eroded. So I philosophically don't
6:16
Speaker 6: have a problem. It is like I have to look
6:18
Speaker 6: at the fact that we are in competition with other
6:20
Speaker 6: states who have less of a tax burden on their
6:24
Speaker 6: corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work
6:27
Speaker 6: changed everything. There were people who could only work in
6:30
Speaker 6: an office in Manhattan and work in New York State,
6:33
Speaker 6: and they were captives to ore a state. They were
6:34
Speaker 6: going to state. We saw that that's not the case.
6:37
Speaker 6: I mean, you know Wall Street businesses looking at Texas.
6:42
Speaker 6: They're not going there because they have a nicer governor.
6:44
Speaker 6: I know that for sure. But they're going there because
6:46
Speaker 6: of the tax right. We have to be smart about this,
6:49
Speaker 6: and but we can fund what we want to fund
6:52
Speaker 6: with what we already are taking it.
6:54
Speaker 1: So here's the part that's so interesting about this. I
6:58
Speaker 1: love that you what do you put this under? Is
7:00
Speaker 1: this communism or socialism or like a morph of the two.
7:04
Speaker 1: Because she's saying I do want you to make a
7:06
Speaker 1: lot of money so that then I can take that
7:09
Speaker 1: money from you and then give it to the social
7:12
Speaker 1: services aka the poor. I'm like, what, Like this is
7:15
Speaker 1: a new hybrid, Like I want rich people, but then
7:18
Speaker 1: I want to steal everything you make.
7:20
Speaker 3: Look, this is whiney leftism, This is hypocrisy. And let
7:23
Speaker 3: me start off by saying, yes, we actually do have
7:26
Speaker 3: a nicer governor.
7:26
Speaker 4: I know Greg Abbott very well. He is a great friend.
7:30
Speaker 3: He is a terrific leader, and that actually matters, not
7:34
Speaker 3: having arrogant leaders who view their constituents as serfs, as
7:39
Speaker 3: subjects to be ruled.
7:41
Speaker 4: The left views them.
7:42
Speaker 3: If you don't agree, get the hell out, which is
7:44
Speaker 3: what she told them. Look, I represent thirty two million Texans,
7:49
Speaker 3: I represent Democrats, I represent independence. Whether you voted for
7:52
Speaker 3: me or not, it's my job to represent you, to
7:55
Speaker 3: fight for you, to fight for your jobs, to fight
7:57
Speaker 3: for your freedom, to fight for your security. And and
8:00
Speaker 3: the Left doesn't view it that way. You are subjects
8:03
Speaker 3: and they will rule you. But her whole pitch is
8:06
Speaker 3: she says, we need wealthy people so that we can
8:10
Speaker 3: pay for the generous social programs that I want. In
8:12
Speaker 3: other words, her pitch is, please come back to New
8:15
Speaker 3: York so I can take your money, and I want
8:18
Speaker 3: to give away your money. I'm much better at giving
8:20
Speaker 3: away your money than you are, so please come back
8:23
Speaker 3: so I can rob you. And I got to say, like,
8:27
Speaker 3: you know, I did tweet out the gift from Dodgeball
8:29
Speaker 3: of you know, interesting strategy there, Cotton. Let's see how
8:33
Speaker 3: it works out for you know, I'm not sure anyone
8:35
Speaker 3: is going to take that invitation.
8:37
Speaker 4: Welcome to Manhattan, give me your money.
8:39
Speaker 1: So Center, there is something very interesting that keeps brewing,
8:42
Speaker 1: and it's a theme in Texas. That theme now is
8:47
Speaker 1: Democrats keep trying to find radical liberals that they masquerade
8:52
Speaker 1: into some sort of like moderate to then run for
8:55
Speaker 1: the Senate. But if you just go back and look
8:57
Speaker 1: at their own words, their moonbat.
9:00
Speaker 4: Yeah.
9:01
Speaker 3: Look, so the Democrats in Texas have nominated for the
9:04
Speaker 3: US Senate this guy named James Tallerico, who was a
9:09
Speaker 3: state representative. He'd only been in the legislature a couple
9:12
Speaker 3: of years, he had not achieved much of anything, and
9:15
Speaker 3: and why did they pick some like some young state
9:18
Speaker 3: rep to be their Senate nominee. Well, turned out the
9:21
Speaker 3: guy went to seminary, and they're like, oh, look this
9:24
Speaker 3: is great.
9:25
Speaker 6: Now.
9:25
Speaker 3: Look today's modern Democrat party. They hate people of faith
9:28
Speaker 3: unless you happen to be an Islamith and you're trying
9:30
Speaker 3: to kill people, they like them. But other than Islamists
9:32
Speaker 3: that are trying to murder people, anyone of faith they
9:35
Speaker 3: can't stand, and they especially can't stand Christians. But I
9:39
Speaker 3: think the Democrats are frustrated that they keep losing in Texas,
9:42
Speaker 3: they keep getting their butt kicked, and so they're like,
9:44
Speaker 3: all right, we need to find someone. They're like, oh,
9:46
Speaker 3: this guy went to seminary. He speaks, he speaks Christian.
9:50
Speaker 3: This is their theory of the case, Like he can
9:53
Speaker 3: talk to those strange people who believe in that Jesus guy.
9:56
Speaker 4: That that that's how.
9:57
Speaker 3: Democrats stra just our thinking and the only problem is
10:03
Speaker 3: like this guy is weird. And again, don't take my
10:08
Speaker 3: word for it. I'm just going to introduce you to
10:10
Speaker 3: James Tallerica. First of all, right, let's listen to this
10:13
Speaker 3: preacher talk about God. What does he have to say
10:15
Speaker 3: about God? Well, give a listen.
10:17
Speaker 7: The first two lines of the Bible. The first two
10:21
Speaker 7: lines in Genesis used two different Hebrew words to describe God.
10:28
Speaker 7: One is the masculine Hebrew noun for divinity. The second
10:35
Speaker 7: is the feminine Hebrew noun for spirit. God is both
10:40
Speaker 7: masculine and feminine and everything in between. God is non binary.
10:48
Speaker 7: In Genesis one twenty six, God speaks of God's self
10:52
Speaker 7: in the plural, saying, let us make human beings in
10:58
Speaker 7: our image to be like us. That's the infinite multitude
11:04
Speaker 7: of God, the masculine, the feminine, and everything in between.
11:12
Speaker 7: Trans children are God's children made in God's own image.
11:19
Speaker 1: Now, Centaer, I've heard of stretches before using using the Bible.
11:23
Speaker 1: But when you're like, let me just take you the
11:24
Speaker 1: very beginning and here's how I'm going to morph that
11:26
Speaker 1: into like this, like that's a whole new level. And
11:29
Speaker 1: even the room the people around him are kind of
11:31
Speaker 1: like looking like is he really? Is he really doing this?
11:34
Speaker 1: It's a great video.
11:35
Speaker 4: Look, God ain't nine non binary.
11:37
Speaker 3: And and yes God is plural because you've got the
11:40
Speaker 3: the the Trinity of God, the Father, God, the Son, God,
11:45
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit, three in one. But but but that
11:49
Speaker 3: does not mean that, you know, he says, well, God
11:53
Speaker 3: created male, female and everything in between. No, No, he
11:57
Speaker 3: created Adam, he created Eve, and he's stopped. Yeah, he
12:01
Speaker 3: didn't create a third creature that was neither male nor female.
12:05
Speaker 4: He he he created both.
12:07
Speaker 3: Okay, so you might say, all right, that's that's fine,
12:11
Speaker 3: But maybe that's just sort of a curious theological quirk.
12:16
Speaker 3: What he had more to say about people who are
12:19
Speaker 3: transgender and and it and it might kind of surprise you.
12:22
Speaker 4: Listen.
12:22
Speaker 3: Listen to what he had to say about about the
12:25
Speaker 3: trans community.
12:26
Speaker 7: Before we go further, I want to acknowledge that our
12:29
Speaker 7: trans community needs abortion care too. Defending trans textas is
12:34
Speaker 7: something we have to do every day now.
12:36
Speaker 2: Now that one.
12:36
Speaker 1: If you're not watching this on YouTube, I just want
12:39
Speaker 1: to set the stage center. There is literally communion table
12:44
Speaker 1: behind him. Yeah, two candles that are lit. And he's like, now,
12:47
Speaker 1: let me just tell you the trans community they need
12:49
Speaker 1: abortion care too. Like I'm just curious, like where in
12:52
Speaker 1: the scripture is that?
12:53
Speaker 2: Is that in there?
12:54
Speaker 1: Like I'm waiting, you know this guy that went to
12:57
Speaker 1: the ministry, like like I just want to know where.
12:59
Speaker 4: He felt that.
13:00
Speaker 3: The guy says that in a church, and I guess
13:03
Speaker 3: it's pretending to be a preacher, but you understand this
13:06
Speaker 3: is his priority, abortions for people who are transgender.
13:09
Speaker 4: Look like that.
13:10
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, that is just out there and this is
13:14
Speaker 3: the pressing priority. But look, I gotta admit the reason
13:21
Speaker 3: he's saying all of this is that he's got to
13:23
Speaker 3: apologize for his own overwhelming masculinity. And again, don't take
13:30
Speaker 3: my word for it. Give a listen to him explaining.
13:33
Speaker 7: Wait, no need to sit and cry over you know
13:37
Speaker 7: your whiteness or your masculinity, right, use it, use it
13:40
Speaker 7: to do something. Yeah, let's be productive.
13:43
Speaker 1: I mean aiman pastor on that one, right, Like that
13:46
Speaker 1: is just pre Sign me up. Where can I go
13:49
Speaker 1: to get more of that?
13:50
Speaker 3: Okay, look, I got to say, for those of y'all
13:52
Speaker 3: who are not watching on YouTube, you really should watch
13:54
Speaker 3: on YouTube because no need to cry over your masculine said,
14:01
Speaker 3: no person who had even a shred of masculinity. I mean,
14:05
Speaker 3: this is a guy who makes Pete boodhajeedge.
14:07
Speaker 4: Look manly, you're not lying.
14:10
Speaker 3: This is a guy if like a soy Latte could speak,
14:15
Speaker 3: that would be Democrat James tallerco.
14:18
Speaker 1: That is my new official analogy that you've ever said
14:20
Speaker 1: on this show. That is number one now.
14:24
Speaker 3: And by the way, okay, so so he's not very masculine.
14:28
Speaker 3: He's crying about his masculinity, what little little of it
14:31
Speaker 3: he has. But at least he's an American, right, I
14:34
Speaker 3: mean he's at least proud of America.
14:37
Speaker 4: Well not so much. Give a listen to what he
14:39
Speaker 4: has to say about that.
14:40
Speaker 7: I often think when reclaiming symbols.
14:42
Speaker 4: I think about the American flag.
14:44
Speaker 7: I think the Confederate flag is a symbol of treason
14:46
Speaker 7: and terrorism. But the American flag is such a complicated
14:50
Speaker 7: symbol for most of us in many ways, like Jesus,
14:52
Speaker 7: like the cross, it's been co opted, and in some
14:58
Speaker 7: ways it's true meeting has been betrayed.
15:01
Speaker 1: By the way I didn't know that we had co
15:03
Speaker 1: opted Jesus so much like that's breaking news there, Senator.
15:07
Speaker 3: So look, this is a supposed pastor who is embarrassed
15:10
Speaker 3: about Jesus, embarrassed about the cross, and now embarrassed about
15:14
Speaker 3: the American flag. But okay, look, look you set everything
15:17
Speaker 3: else aside. It's Texas. At least he stands with barbecue, right.
15:23
Speaker 2: Yes, that's true.
15:24
Speaker 4: No, no, no, it's not. Give a listen to what
15:27
Speaker 4: he has to say on meat.
15:28
Speaker 7: We have, I think, heard more and more issues of
15:31
Speaker 7: animal welfare. I think not just because it's the right
15:34
Speaker 7: thing to do and the moral thing to do, but
15:36
Speaker 7: also it's, as all of you know, necessary to fight
15:39
Speaker 7: climate change. It is now existential that we try to
15:43
Speaker 7: reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect
15:46
Speaker 7: animals in all aspects of society. And so I am
15:50
Speaker 7: proud to say that our campaign has officially become a
15:53
Speaker 7: non meat campaign. So we have we are only buying
15:59
Speaker 7: thegan products from from our local vegan businesses.
16:05
Speaker 3: The guy hates barbecue. Perfect for Texas. They've found their
16:10
Speaker 3: candidate the Democrats, understand, Texans.
16:13
Speaker 1: I want you to pause what you're doing for just
16:16
Speaker 1: one minute. Love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words
16:20
Speaker 1: all the time, and they sound good, they feel good.
16:23
Speaker 2: But here's the truth.
16:25
Speaker 1: Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action,
16:29
Speaker 1: and right now, not later, today, not tomorrow. There's a
16:33
Speaker 1: child in the world who doesn't know if they'll eat,
16:37
Speaker 1: if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's
16:40
Speaker 1: any hope at all. And while we're all busy, life
16:44
Speaker 1: keeps moving forward, but that child is waiting. This is
16:48
Speaker 1: where you come in with Compassion International. You have the
16:51
Speaker 1: chance to change a child's future, not just with words,
16:55
Speaker 1: not with promises, but with real help that provides food
17:00
Speaker 1: and hope through local churches and people already in their community.
17:06
Speaker 1: Put your words into action and join me introduce a
17:10
Speaker 1: child to a loving, heavenly father today at Compassion dot com.
17:15
Speaker 1: That's Compassion dot com.
17:18
Speaker 2: Senator.
17:18
Speaker 1: There was a story this week, and of course Washington
17:23
Speaker 1: just erupted with his story. The media just it was
17:27
Speaker 1: blood in the water. And this is going to be
17:29
Speaker 1: the undoing of the Trump administration because a B team
17:32
Speaker 1: guy in the administration contradicted himself in his own beliefs
17:36
Speaker 1: and then resigned and ran straight to Tucker Carlson to
17:40
Speaker 1: whine and complain. And that was supposed to be like
17:43
Speaker 1: the end of the world. I kind of laugh at
17:45
Speaker 1: this story with a guy named Joe Kent that you
17:47
Speaker 1: got a Google just remind yourself exactly who he was.
17:50
Speaker 3: Yeah, So look, Joe can't. I don't know him. He
17:53
Speaker 3: was a failed candidate for Congress. He ran for Congress
17:56
Speaker 3: and lost, and he got himself appointed to be in
17:59
Speaker 3: the office in the Director of National Intelligence office. And
18:04
Speaker 3: this week he ostentatiously he loudly resigned from the Trump administration.
18:09
Speaker 3: And as you noted, the media was thrilled because he
18:12
Speaker 3: was resigning to attack President Trump. And there's nothing that
18:16
Speaker 3: the media likes better than a Republican attacking Donald Trump.
18:20
Speaker 3: And so Joe kent't tweet it out. After much reflection,
18:24
Speaker 3: I have decided to resign from my position as Director
18:27
Speaker 3: of the National counter Terrorism Center effective today. I cannot
18:31
Speaker 3: in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran
18:35
Speaker 3: posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is
18:38
Speaker 3: clear that we started this war due to pressure from
18:40
Speaker 3: Israel and its powerful American lobby. It has been an
18:44
Speaker 3: honor serving under Potus and Tulsea Gabbard and leading the
18:47
Speaker 3: professionals at NCTC.
18:49
Speaker 4: May God bless America. All right, So you hear that
18:53
Speaker 4: and you.
18:54
Speaker 3: Think, Okay, the guy's an isolationist and he hates Israel.
18:59
Speaker 3: Where is he going to go? To the surprise of nobody.
19:03
Speaker 3: The next day he was on Tucker Carlson like it's literally.
19:06
Speaker 4: Oh, you hate Israel.
19:07
Speaker 3: Four hours Yeah, you hate Israel and you're cheering for Iran? Well, okay, Tucker,
19:13
Speaker 3: is that that's what the show is there for?
19:15
Speaker 4: Now?
19:16
Speaker 3: You might think, Okay, this guy just disagrees with Trump's
19:19
Speaker 3: foreign policy. Maybe he shouldn't have been appointed in the
19:21
Speaker 3: first place. If he did really disagreed with Trump's foreign policy,
19:25
Speaker 3: he should leave.
19:26
Speaker 4: Now.
19:26
Speaker 3: The interesting thing is he didn't always disagree with Trump's
19:30
Speaker 3: foreign policy. So January twenty twenty, what a Joe Kent post.
19:35
Speaker 3: He posted the following quote. Trump's quote redline is American
19:40
Speaker 3: loss of life an ir nuke development. I personally think
19:45
Speaker 3: we should have crushed their ballistic and nup nuke capability.
19:51
Speaker 4: But Trump has a plan.
19:52
Speaker 3: He has definitely earned the confidence of any clear eyed observer,
19:57
Speaker 3: so that was twenty twenty he wanted to brush their
20:00
Speaker 3: ballistic and nuclear capability.
20:01
Speaker 4: What are we doing right now, by the way, Ben, Yeah.
20:04
Speaker 1: We're We're doing exactly that. We are literally doing exactly
20:07
Speaker 1: what he advocated for.
20:09
Speaker 3: Yep, we are crushing their ballistic and new capability. How
20:12
Speaker 3: about September twenty twenty four, what did he say during
20:14
Speaker 3: the last election season? He said, quote Trump used a
20:18
Speaker 3: balance of diplomacy, economic pressure, and targeted strikes to contain
20:23
Speaker 3: Iran the embodiment of peace through strength. So what is
20:28
Speaker 3: Trump doing now? The exact same thing?
20:31
Speaker 4: All right?
20:32
Speaker 2: Yeah?
20:32
Speaker 3: How about October twenty twenty four? Quote October seventh happened
20:37
Speaker 3: because Biden Harris gave Iran access to over one hundred billion.
20:43
Speaker 3: Trump used diplomacy to build the Abraham Accords, cut off
20:47
Speaker 3: Iran's funding, and killed key terrorists. America and our allies
20:53
Speaker 3: were safe, and there was less war, no more neocons,
20:58
Speaker 3: no appeasement. Trump twenty four So apparently from twenty oh
21:06
Speaker 3: And by the way, what else did he say in
21:08
Speaker 3: twenty twenty Here's another tweet of his We should not
21:12
Speaker 3: sit and wait for the next attack. This is addressed
21:16
Speaker 3: to real Donald Trump. Wipe Iran's ballistic capability out and
21:21
Speaker 3: get our troops out of Iraq. They are only targets now.
21:25
Speaker 3: That is what he said in twenty twenty, what he
21:29
Speaker 3: said in twenty twenty two, what he said in twenty
21:31
Speaker 3: twenty four. He agreed with everything Trump is doing until
21:36
Speaker 3: he got an office and suddenly decided Iran is no
21:41
Speaker 3: longer a threat. Apparently Iran became less of a threat
21:44
Speaker 3: as they killed more Americans.
21:46
Speaker 1: And and by the way, my initial reaction to this was, Okay,
21:52
Speaker 1: you're a guy that's on the B team.
21:54
Speaker 2: I don't mean that as a slight at all. I
21:56
Speaker 2: want to be clear.
21:57
Speaker 1: You need a lot of really good people in administration.
22:00
Speaker 1: Not everybody's in the room when you're going after Osama
22:03
Speaker 1: bin Laden. There's a ton of great people that are
22:05
Speaker 1: on the B team.
22:07
Speaker 3: And by all accounts, he was kept out because he
22:11
Speaker 3: didn't have the confidence.
22:12
Speaker 4: He didn't have the confidence of the commander in chief.
22:14
Speaker 3: And by the way, given how he is petulantly quit
22:18
Speaker 3: and ron on Tucker Carlson to attack President Trump, you
22:23
Speaker 3: can understand why he didn't have the confidence of the
22:25
Speaker 3: commander in chief. Like this is illustrating, This is illustrating
22:29
Speaker 3: who he is, and I want you to listen. So
22:31
Speaker 3: we went on Tucker and he comes up with this
22:34
Speaker 3: bizarre theory that Israel is threatening Donald Trump. Give a listen.
22:43
Speaker 8: What kind of pressure does it require to get a
22:45
Speaker 8: president who campaigned against exactly this thing for ten years
22:50
Speaker 8: to do exactly this thing? What does it take to
22:53
Speaker 8: do that?
22:55
Speaker 9: I wish I knew definitively. I think there's two potentials,
22:58
Speaker 9: or two schools of that. I mean, one is the
23:00
Speaker 9: media echo chamber, the donors, the way the Israelis come
23:03
Speaker 9: in and kind of longer the information like I described previously.
23:08
Speaker 9: And then the other option is much darker. I mean,
23:11
Speaker 9: we still don't know what happened in Butler, we don't
23:14
Speaker 9: know what happened with Charlie Kirk. And I'm by no
23:16
Speaker 9: means am I saying like, you know, Israelis did this
23:19
Speaker 9: or any of that. But I'm saying there's a lot
23:21
Speaker 9: of unanswered questions there, and there is enough data to
23:24
Speaker 9: at least say that there's a good chance that President
23:27
Speaker 9: Trump feels like he is under threat.
23:32
Speaker 2: Wow, that's the best way I can put it. Center. Wow.
23:35
Speaker 3: Look, look that's just unhinged. And let's start So Tucker,
23:39
Speaker 3: as he often does, starts with a premise that is
23:42
Speaker 3: just false, that is a lie. He says, Trump spent
23:46
Speaker 3: ten years campaigning against this, and then suddenly he did this. Well, no, Tucker,
23:50
Speaker 3: he didn't. Trump has said over and over and over again,
23:53
Speaker 3: Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. He repeatedly called
23:56
Speaker 3: out Iran. It's Tucker who has opposed Trump. I get
24:01
Speaker 3: Tucker does not agree with Donald Trump's foreign policy because
24:04
Speaker 3: Donald Trump is And by the way, when you know,
24:07
Speaker 3: when I went on Tucker's show, Tucker insisted, no, no, no,
24:11
Speaker 3: Iran has never tried to kill Trump, which is which
24:13
Speaker 3: is again a total falsehood. And bizarrely enough, do you
24:16
Speaker 3: remember what what Tucker said he would do if Iran
24:19
Speaker 3: had tried to kill Trump?
24:21
Speaker 2: If I remember, curly, didn't he say we go after them?
24:23
Speaker 2: He would nuke them.
24:24
Speaker 3: I think it was neat he said we should nuke them,
24:29
Speaker 3: but like with his weird laugh like and and by
24:32
Speaker 3: the way, I said, no, no, we should not nuke them.
24:35
Speaker 4: That's actually an unhinged view.
24:37
Speaker 3: And you know what, shortly thereafter, Tucker had in his
24:40
Speaker 3: show the president of Iran. You know what, he didn't
24:42
Speaker 3: ask him about any of that why are you guys
24:46
Speaker 3: trying to kill President Trump? And by the way, like
24:49
Speaker 3: the assassins have been criminally convicted, like there is no.
24:52
Speaker 1: Disp hiring people to actually follow through on killing American leaders,
24:55
Speaker 1: including the President. That would be a great question if
24:58
Speaker 1: you weren't compromised.
25:00
Speaker 3: And listen Joe Kent and Tucker together. So Joe is
25:03
Speaker 3: saying the quote darker theory is that Trump is under
25:08
Speaker 3: threat from Israel. Mind you, that's what he's saying. And
25:11
Speaker 3: he also suggests, well, and Charlie Kirk was too. And
25:15
Speaker 3: then he says, now, I'm not saying the Israelis killed
25:18
Speaker 3: Charlie Kirk, but there are questions. Let me say, anyone
25:23
Speaker 3: who believes Israel killed Charlie Kirk, you've lost your mind.
25:28
Speaker 3: That is a moon bat theory. And by the way,
25:32
Speaker 3: he is talking with a fellow moonbat who is open
25:36
Speaker 3: to those kinds of theories. And interestingly enough, it appears
25:41
Speaker 3: that may not be the first time they're talking. So
25:44
Speaker 3: notice reported the following quote. A law enforcement source said
25:49
Speaker 3: FBI agents had determined that Kent shared secret government information
25:54
Speaker 3: with disaffected MAGA media figures like Tucker Carlson. A second
25:59
Speaker 3: administration official said that Kent leaked classified information from a
26:04
Speaker 3: server to a member of the media.
26:07
Speaker 1: Now, by the way, I want to be clear by
26:08
Speaker 1: the timestamp on this because it's important. There's many in
26:11
Speaker 1: the media, and I called him out over the last
26:12
Speaker 1: couple of days when I was debating this on TV.
26:14
Speaker 2: I'm like, I want everybody listening to Verdic.
26:16
Speaker 1: To understand this was not an investigation that started after
26:20
Speaker 1: he resigned. This is apparently an investigation that had started
26:24
Speaker 1: well before he resigned, which may have actually been the
26:27
Speaker 1: reason why he said I got to get out now
26:29
Speaker 1: and try to tell my story.
26:31
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I don't know if it's true.
26:33
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's being investigated for leaking classified information.
26:37
Speaker 3: The media is reporting it, and I don't know the facts.
26:40
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if he did it.
26:42
Speaker 3: But I got to say that there is some irony
26:45
Speaker 3: that that that at least they're they're saying he was
26:48
Speaker 3: leaking to Tucker Carlson. And Tucker Carlson has been waging
26:53
Speaker 3: a war on President Trump's foreign policy and apparently a
26:58
Speaker 3: war with with allies.
27:00
Speaker 4: In the administration.
27:01
Speaker 3: Listen, if Joe kent't disagreed with with the president's foreign policy.
27:06
Speaker 3: He could have just submitted his resignation, but instead he
27:10
Speaker 3: wanted to go in a blaze of glory and just
27:12
Speaker 3: attack Trump. And I gotta say that that's who Tucker is,
27:16
Speaker 3: That's who the isolate and isolationist loons are, and and
27:20
Speaker 3: and I think it is it is a foreign policy
27:25
Speaker 3: that does not protect America from our enemy.
27:29
Speaker 2: All right.
27:29
Speaker 1: Finally, Senaer, let's wrap with a story that another hero
27:34
Speaker 1: of the left. Yeah, it looks like it was a
27:37
Speaker 1: crazy person that is now going to go down history
27:39
Speaker 1: and disgrace. This time it's it's a guy by the
27:43
Speaker 1: last name of Chavez.
27:46
Speaker 3: So this, this is our hypocrisy, not just trifecta, but
27:49
Speaker 3: four of a kind. So we started with Kathy Hocheld,
27:52
Speaker 3: the hypocritical Democrat governor of New York. We then went
27:56
Speaker 3: to James Tallerico, the very very strange Democrat nominee for
28:00
Speaker 3: the Senate. We then went to Joe Kent, the previous
28:03
Speaker 3: Trump supporter who has decided now that that that Trump
28:06
Speaker 3: is is under an assassination threat from Israel.
28:10
Speaker 4: And finally Caesar Shaves.
28:11
Speaker 3: Who is Caesar shav Is He is a hero to
28:14
Speaker 3: the Democrats, A hero to the left and icon uh.
28:17
Speaker 3: He was a union organizer for the United farm Workers
28:20
Speaker 3: and he is revered except for the fact that that
28:24
Speaker 3: famed right wing publication, The New York Times, just published
28:28
Speaker 3: an expose that for years he was raping little girls,
28:34
Speaker 3: and and they come with the receipts that that that
28:37
Speaker 3: he had raped little girls year after year after year,
28:41
Speaker 3: and the Left had covered it up. They'd covered it
28:43
Speaker 3: up because they agreed with his politics. And I got
28:46
Speaker 3: to say that there's a really good opinion piece that
28:48
Speaker 3: the Daily Wire ran by a woman named Ariana Guaharda,
28:53
Speaker 3: who's a Texan and a Latina, and and here's what
28:56
Speaker 3: she wrote. I want I want to read a good
28:57
Speaker 3: chunk of it because it actually is a good insight.
29:00
Speaker 3: It's entitled the Left hid Caesar Chavez is rapes and
29:05
Speaker 3: turned him into a saint.
29:07
Speaker 4: She begins.
29:08
Speaker 3: When I was in college, I passed the Caesar Chavez
29:11
Speaker 3: statue every day on my walk to class at the
29:14
Speaker 3: University of Texas. Now, Caesar Chavez is the name of
29:18
Speaker 3: the road I take to work, and it's a big
29:20
Speaker 3: road right in downtown Austin. For years, Chavez was presented
29:25
Speaker 3: as the figurehead for Mexican Americans a symbol we were
29:29
Speaker 3: expected to revere, but he represented a collectivist ideology that
29:34
Speaker 3: perpetuated ethnic tribalism.
29:38
Speaker 4: After The New York Times.
29:39
Speaker 3: Broke the story of his sexual abuse of young girls,
29:42
Speaker 3: this false idol is finally toppling. My only hope is
29:46
Speaker 3: that he is not replaced by another. Chavez has long
29:50
Speaker 3: been celebrated as a symbol of the Civil rights era
29:53
Speaker 3: and as a champion of labor unions in America. He
29:56
Speaker 3: co founded the United farm Workers' Union to fight for
29:59
Speaker 3: better condition for migrant laborers, but in truth, he exploited
30:03
Speaker 3: the very people he claimed to protect while tying Mexican
30:07
Speaker 3: Americans to socialist ideology, which is of course what the
30:10
Speaker 3: democrats want. He carefully crafted a public image as a
30:14
Speaker 3: family man devoted to Catholic social teaching, but the reality
30:19
Speaker 3: was much darker. Chava This philosophy echoes Marxist rhetoric about
30:24
Speaker 3: the proletariat and the bourgeoisie. At a UfW convention in
30:29
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty one, Chavez proclaimed, I would not take one
30:34
Speaker 3: cup of coffee from a grower. Any means a farmer.
30:38
Speaker 3: There's not a good one. I hate them. A few
30:41
Speaker 3: presents a little talk than the noose. That's how capitalism works.
30:48
Speaker 3: This is the hero of the left. It isn't just
30:51
Speaker 3: his rhetoric that sounds alarm bells. Early in his career
30:54
Speaker 3: he worked with Sololenski, the community organizer who defined the
30:59
Speaker 3: modern leftist play book in Rules for Radicals. Chavez and
31:03
Speaker 3: the UfW later implemented Alinsky's tactics fostering confrontational, divisive organizing.
31:10
Speaker 3: Then there is the recent revelation of his extensive sexual
31:15
Speaker 3: abuse of minors. The behavior is not distinct from other
31:18
Speaker 3: far left figures, such as Joseph Stalin to Mao to
31:22
Speaker 3: Kim Jong Ill. Communist and socialist leaders often share a
31:26
Speaker 3: troubling connection to sexual predation. We should not be surprised
31:33
Speaker 3: that evil ideology attracts evil people. By the way, that's
31:37
Speaker 3: a sentence worth remembering. We should not be surprised that
31:43
Speaker 3: evil ideology attracts evil people. If the warning signs around
31:49
Speaker 3: Chavez have existed for decades, why did he become the
31:52
Speaker 3: face of an entire ethnicity in America? Partly because he
31:56
Speaker 3: was effective at mobilizing Mexican Americans in California, rhetoric that
32:00
Speaker 3: created a lasting US versus them mentality, But how did
32:06
Speaker 3: that ideology extend to Texas. Chavez never belong to the
32:11
Speaker 3: Tehano heritage the same way he does in Chicano culture.
32:15
Speaker 3: The Chicano culture and movement are a direct outgrowth of
32:20
Speaker 3: the California Hispanic labor movement in the sixties and seventies.
32:24
Speaker 3: On the other hand, the Tehano culture traces back to
32:27
Speaker 3: the Mexican settlers of Texas prior to Texas independence and
32:31
Speaker 3: is a component of what created the Texas identity. That
32:35
Speaker 3: history is also tied to farming and a cowboy ethos
32:39
Speaker 3: that is incompatible with Chavez's ideology. Texas agriculture thrived because
32:47
Speaker 3: of ranchers like my ancestors, who embraced a free market approach,
32:51
Speaker 3: not because of unions or collectivist movements. Before the New
32:57
Speaker 3: York Times expos one could argue that chav has fought
33:00
Speaker 3: for Mexican Americans and deserved gratitude, Yet his legacy has
33:04
Speaker 3: encouraged a troubling mindset. To be loyal to one's Hispanic heritage,
33:09
Speaker 3: one must embrace left wing ideology. On campus, I was
33:14
Speaker 3: often labeled a quote race trader at conservative events, accused
33:18
Speaker 3: of quote wanting white approval or dismissed as quote two
33:22
Speaker 3: white passing to comment on border and immigration issues. By
33:26
Speaker 3: the way, here Ramos on Spanish television accused me of
33:32
Speaker 3: being a trader to my race, so I'm quite familiar
33:34
Speaker 3: with that. The type of tribalism promoted by Chavez is
33:39
Speaker 3: just like any other kind of identity politics, limiting and
33:43
Speaker 3: stereotyping the people. It is intended to empower. In the
33:47
Speaker 3: political climate in which Texas Hispanics are considering Republicans in
33:51
Speaker 3: the ballot, it is clear why the left is feeling threatened.
33:56
Speaker 3: So why is the street in Austin named after Caesar Chavez?
34:00
Speaker 3: Did his statue watched me as I walk to class.
34:02
Speaker 3: The answer is clear ethnic tokenism. It was fitting for
34:07
Speaker 3: Bill Clinton to award him a Presidential Medal of Freedom.
34:11
Speaker 4: By the way, Bill Clinton, speaking.
34:13
Speaker 3: Of sexual predators, there may have been a reason there
34:15
Speaker 3: and for Joe Biden to display his bust in the
34:19
Speaker 3: Oval Office. Joe Biden literally put up a bust of
34:22
Speaker 3: Caesar Chavez, who was a child rapist in the Oval office.
34:26
Speaker 3: Chavez represents the Hispanic worker. The political left wishes we
34:32
Speaker 3: all were obedient to a union boss and beholden to
34:37
Speaker 3: collectivist ideology. The UfW announced it will not be celebrating
34:42
Speaker 3: Caesar Chave's Day this year. Amid the allegations, the idol
34:45
Speaker 3: all Hispanics were once expected to adore is finally falling
34:50
Speaker 3: from his pedestal. My hope is that we do not
34:53
Speaker 3: replace him with another.
34:55
Speaker 4: Look. I think that is exceptionally well.
34:57
Speaker 1: Rated, well done, and I have to go a little
35:00
Speaker 1: credit to the New York Times are actually publishing.
35:02
Speaker 3: It, Yes, to agreed, like I'm shocked, I really am. Now,
35:07
Speaker 3: to be clear, Chavez is not a current leftist leader.
35:10
Speaker 3: If he was a current leader of the Democrat Party
35:13
Speaker 3: that I don't think they would have published it. But
35:15
Speaker 3: given that he's dead and buried, I think fact right,
35:19
Speaker 3: it was after the fact. And look, what is sad
35:24
Speaker 3: is that so many Democrats, so many leftists, knew that
35:27
Speaker 3: he was a child rapist, and they kept their mouth
35:29
Speaker 3: shut because ideology mattered more than truth or protecting kids.
35:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point. Don't forget.
35:37
Speaker 1: We did the show three days a week as a podcast.
35:39
Speaker 1: If you're listening on the radio, make sure you hit
35:40
