House Dems Unhinged Over Censure of Rashida Tlaib · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Last night in the House of Representatives. It was a
0:04
Speaker 1: late night. Why because the House was censuring Rashid to
0:10
Speaker 1: leave for her anti Semitic, bigoted, and pro Hamas comments,
0:15
Speaker 1: saying that she wants to wipe Israel off the map.
0:19
Speaker 2: I told you this was gonna happen. They were going
0:21
Speaker 2: to let Israel have a few.
0:23
Speaker 1: Weeks to do what they need to do, but then
0:25
Speaker 1: after that they would turn on Israel exactly what I
0:28
Speaker 1: told you was gonna happen, and then they would start
0:31
Speaker 1: to treat Israel like they are the bad guys, even
0:34
Speaker 1: though it was Israel that was attacked. I want to
0:37
Speaker 1: play for you what they said about Rashid to leave first,
0:41
Speaker 1: take a listen.
0:42
Speaker 3: Overnight the House folded a central representative Rashida to leave
0:45
Speaker 3: for incendiary comments she's made about Israel in the October
0:47
Speaker 3: seventh attack by Hamas. Only two dozen Democrats join Republicans
0:51
Speaker 3: interview in the only Palestinian American in Congress, Senior National Course.
0:54
Speaker 3: Pond Aitara Moran has the details.
0:56
Speaker 4: Good morning, Terry, Good morning George. Dramatic and emotional scenes
1:00
Speaker 4: the floor of the House of Representatives for just the
1:02
Speaker 4: twenty fifth time in American history. The House voted to
1:05
Speaker 4: formally censure one of its own members, representative Wherehida Talib,
1:09
Speaker 4: Democrat of Michigan, stood accused, in the words of the
1:12
Speaker 4: Center motion, of quote promoting false narratives about Hamas attack
1:15
Speaker 4: on Israel on October seventh, and of quote calling for
1:19
Speaker 4: the destruction of the state of Israel. Twenty two Democrats
1:23
Speaker 4: voted for the Center motion for Republicans voted against it,
1:27
Speaker 4: and the resolution focused on a social media post that
1:29
Speaker 4: Talib had made, calling accusing President Biden of quote genocide
1:34
Speaker 4: and including a video with the chant palace from the
1:38
Speaker 4: river to the sea, Palestine will be free, a rallying
1:41
Speaker 4: cry that AMAS uses that expresses its desire for the
1:44
Speaker 4: eradication of the Jewish state of Israel. Talib defended herself
1:48
Speaker 4: on the floor of the House in an impassioned speech.
1:51
Speaker 4: She said to her that phrase represented quote an aspirational
1:55
Speaker 4: call for freedom, for human rights and peaceful coexistence, and
1:59
Speaker 4: she neared as she declared, Palestinian people are not disposable.
2:04
Speaker 4: Resolution of censure is a condemnation, a formal rebuke. It
2:08
Speaker 4: will have no practical effect on her ability to do
2:11
Speaker 4: her job, but it is now part of the record
2:14
Speaker 4: and the history of the Congress of the United.
2:16
Speaker 1: States, Rashid Tuley, by the way, and her trying to
2:20
Speaker 1: act like what she said from the River to the Sea,
2:23
Speaker 1: eradicating Jews, advocating and this is what Hamas says.
2:28
Speaker 2: Hamas says it, and then she's trying to sugarcat it.
2:30
Speaker 1: Oh, no, I don't really mean it the same way
2:31
Speaker 1: that Hamas says exactly what I'm saying.
2:34
Speaker 2: She means exactly what she's saying.
2:37
Speaker 1: She knows what she's saying, she knows why she's saying it.
2:43
Speaker 1: She's saying it because she wants to get rid of
2:45
Speaker 1: every Jewish person period. That's not all her defenders. The
2:52
Speaker 1: squad came out in full force. The squad representative alam
2:57
Speaker 1: Omar had this to say on the censor of her squad.
3:01
Speaker 1: Friend listened to how angry she was.
3:03
Speaker 5: What is true here is that every single one of
3:07
Speaker 5: them has.
3:08
Speaker 6: Not acknowledged the fact that Palestinians are dying in.
3:11
Speaker 5: The tens of thousands.
3:13
Speaker 2: But we'll continue to say.
3:15
Speaker 5: It is us who are not acknowledging humanity. Was Sheita
3:19
Speaker 5: will stands true.
3:20
Speaker 2: General Lady's time has expired. Movement will continue for liberation
3:25
Speaker 2: until every general lady's time has expired. That's the right
3:29
Speaker 2: gentleman from Maryland is recognized.
3:31
Speaker 1: That's who her friends are. That's what they're acting like. Uh,
3:35
Speaker 1: this is in our US Congress.
3:38
Speaker 2: Now.
3:38
Speaker 1: The House voted to censure rashi to leeb twenty two Democrats.
3:42
Speaker 2: And I want to be clear about this.
3:44
Speaker 1: These twenty two Democrats that voted in favor of this,
3:50
Speaker 1: I am proud of them for putting politics behind doing
3:56
Speaker 1: the right thing. The other Democrats that refuse to condemn her,
4:02
Speaker 1: that just tells you exactly what you should expect from
4:06
Speaker 1: these lefties, right, these absurd radicals that hate Israelis, they hate.
4:14
Speaker 2: The Jews, they hate the Jews.
4:20
Speaker 1: You listen to what Rashid Talib said, and what she
4:24
Speaker 1: said on the floor of the House was to me
4:29
Speaker 1: one of the scariest things that the Democratic Party even
4:32
Speaker 1: allows her to get elected because she is elected, right,
4:37
Speaker 1: I mean, she is elected Representative. Corey Bush came out
4:44
Speaker 1: said a lot of nasty things. I'm going to let
4:46
Speaker 1: you hear that, but I'm also going to let you
4:48
Speaker 1: hear Rashid Talib where she started crying. Now to be clear,
4:52
Speaker 1: she was crying not for the Jews that were innotantly killed,
4:56
Speaker 1: not for the babies that were baked in ovens, not
4:59
Speaker 1: for the babies were found with knives in their chests,
5:02
Speaker 1: not for the women that have been drug out and raped.
5:05
Speaker 1: And the prisoners are not prisoners the hostages that they
5:10
Speaker 1: have taken. Right now, if you want to cease fire,
5:12
Speaker 1: by the way, ceasefire is very simple. Israeli Prime mister Benjaminta,
5:16
Speaker 1: who has said very clearly that if you want a
5:19
Speaker 1: cease fire, no problem, release the hostages. If you care
5:23
Speaker 1: about the Palestinian people around you, release the hostages, and
5:27
Speaker 1: we will give you a cease fire if you do
5:30
Speaker 1: so for humanitarian reasons. But if you're not going to
5:34
Speaker 1: give us those hostages back, we are not going to
5:36
Speaker 1: give you to cease fire that you want. We will
5:40
Speaker 1: continue to come after you as terrorists. The House has
5:45
Speaker 1: censored Rashid to leave Representative Rashid to leave censored officially
5:50
Speaker 1: buy the house for her anti Semitic comments. This is
5:54
Speaker 1: something that there is at least twenty two Democrats that
5:57
Speaker 1: said yes to this, Thank goodness they did. There was
6:00
Speaker 1: a lot of others that were cowards. That's the only
6:02
Speaker 1: way I can put it who refused to do this. Progressives,
6:07
Speaker 1: by the way, holding nothing back as they defended Rashid
6:10
Speaker 1: t Lee last night. I want you to hear what
6:13
Speaker 1: Rashid t Lee had to say for the floor, explaining
6:17
Speaker 1: that she's okay with how.
6:20
Speaker 6: I'm the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, mister charr
6:23
Speaker 6: and my perspective is needed here now more than ever.
6:27
Speaker 6: I will not be silenced and I will not let
6:29
Speaker 6: you destoryt my words. Folks forget I'm from the city
6:32
Speaker 6: of Detroit, the most beautiful, blackest city in the country,
6:35
Speaker 6: where I learned to speak truth to power even if
6:37
Speaker 6: my voice shakes, Trying to bully or censor me won't work,
6:42
Speaker 6: because this movement for a ceasefire is much bigger than
6:46
Speaker 6: one person. It's growing every single day. There are millions
6:50
Speaker 6: of people across our country who oppose Netanya Who's extremism
6:54
Speaker 6: and are done watching our government support collective punishment and
6:57
Speaker 6: the use of white phosphorus bombs that melt flush to
6:59
Speaker 6: the bone.
7:01
Speaker 1: This is a woman who just said that the Prime
7:04
Speaker 1: Minister of Israel's an extremists for defending his people from
7:07
Speaker 1: a terrorist organization that beheaded and burned.
7:10
Speaker 2: To death in ovens, babies.
7:14
Speaker 1: They would grab women and they would say this woman
7:16
Speaker 1: is for rape, and they would grab another woman. They'd say,
7:21
Speaker 1: this woman's for hostage. So many of the Israelis that
7:24
Speaker 1: were taken, they were just taken for rape, and they
7:27
Speaker 1: would rape them as much as they wanted to, and
7:29
Speaker 1: then they would kill them. And then they would take
7:32
Speaker 1: other women for hostage and they would rape them as
7:34
Speaker 1: much as they want to still to this day, raping
7:36
Speaker 1: them now, beating them, torturing them, and then what will
7:39
Speaker 1: they do. They'll probably eventually kill them. She just said
7:43
Speaker 1: that he is the extremists. She also described bombs white phosphorus,
7:48
Speaker 1: burning the flesh.
7:50
Speaker 2: They burn people alive. Israelis.
7:53
Speaker 1: They remember, there's tires that have been put around them,
7:55
Speaker 1: and they were burned for sport to maximize the torture
8:00
Speaker 1: of the Israelis.
8:00
Speaker 2: Hamas did that.
8:02
Speaker 1: She says that the bombs being dropped by Israel are
8:07
Speaker 1: somehow the most horrific and evil ones. Ever, there's a
8:11
Speaker 1: problem with that. They wouldn't be dropping these bombs right
8:14
Speaker 1: now at all. They wouldn't be dropping them if they
8:18
Speaker 1: wouldn't have been attacked by a terrorist organization. Yet the Democrats.
8:24
Speaker 1: More than one hundred voted with her.
8:26
Speaker 6: Listen, they are done watching our government, mister chair, supporting
8:29
Speaker 6: cutting off food, water, electricity, and medical care to millions
8:33
Speaker 6: of people with nowhere to go. Like me, mister Chair,
8:37
Speaker 6: they don't believe the answer to war crimes is more
8:39
Speaker 6: war crimes. The refusal of Congress and the administration to
8:43
Speaker 6: acknowledge Palestinian lives is chipping at way at my soul.
8:46
Speaker 6: Over ten thousand Palestinians have been killed, majority majority were children.
8:52
Speaker 6: But let me be clear, my criticism has always been
8:55
Speaker 6: of the Israeli.
8:57
Speaker 2: Let's just pause there.
8:58
Speaker 1: She just said the majority of the people are killed,
9:01
Speaker 1: as she described it, The majority of the people that
9:03
Speaker 1: are killed, she says, we're children. Who did she get
9:07
Speaker 1: those numbers from the Ministry in Palestine of Health, The
9:12
Speaker 1: same ministry of health that lied, straight up lied and
9:17
Speaker 1: set to be clear that Israel bombed their hospital, which
9:22
Speaker 1: never happened. And he knew when he was saying that
9:24
Speaker 1: lie that it didn't happen. He knew when he was
9:28
Speaker 1: saying that lie that that was nothing but propaganda, because
9:33
Speaker 1: he knew the rocket that went into the parking lot,
9:35
Speaker 1: not even the hospital. The parking lot was a rocket
9:38
Speaker 1: shot by Hamas, a rocket that misfired, plain and simple,
9:45
Speaker 1: a rocket that misfired, and that rocket misfired, and then
9:50
Speaker 1: they said, all right, let's blame Israel. So her numbers
9:53
Speaker 1: of how many people just died are coming from the
9:55
Speaker 1: same evil terrorists that put that lie to the world
10:00
Speaker 1: to try to get people to hate Israel.
10:02
Speaker 2: She's not done with her propaganda.
10:05
Speaker 6: Keep listening government in nettin Yahoo's actions. It is important
10:09
Speaker 6: to separate people in governments, mister Chair. No government is
10:12
Speaker 6: beyond criticism. The idea that criticizing the government of Israel
10:17
Speaker 6: is anti Semitic sense a very dangerous precedent, and it's
10:20
Speaker 6: being used to silence diverse voices speaking up for human
10:23
Speaker 6: rights across our nation. Do you realize what it's like,
10:26
Speaker 6: mister Chair, for the people outside the chamber right now
10:30
Speaker 6: listening in agony to their own government dehumanizing them. To
10:33
Speaker 6: hear the president of the United States we helped elect
10:36
Speaker 6: dispute death tolls as we see video after video of
10:39
Speaker 6: dead children and parents under rubble, mister chair, do you
10:42
Speaker 6: know what it's like to fear rising hate crimes? To
10:45
Speaker 6: know how Islamophobia and anti Semitism makes us all less
10:48
Speaker 6: safe and worry that your own child might suffer the
10:51
Speaker 6: horrors that six year old Wadia did in Illinois. I
10:55
Speaker 6: can't believe I have to say this, but Palestinian people
10:59
Speaker 6: are not disposed.
11:01
Speaker 1: By the way I agree with her. Palisian people are
11:04
Speaker 1: not disposable. So stop partnering with Terrists, stop allowing Terris
11:09
Speaker 1: to live in your building, stop allowing Terras to be
11:11
Speaker 1: your government, Stop making deals with the devil with hamas,
11:16
Speaker 1: and stand up and fight against them, because this is
11:19
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And by the way, it's going
11:21
Speaker 1: to happen every single time. Okay, it's going to happen
11:24
Speaker 1: every time when you make the deal with the devil
11:27
Speaker 1: and you have a terrorist organization that doesn't care if
11:30
Speaker 1: you die and is willing to shoot rockets and kill
11:33
Speaker 1: innocent Palestinians every time they try to shoot a rocket
11:35
Speaker 1: at Israel. Thirty to forty percent of the rockets that
11:39
Speaker 1: are shot at Israel fall on Palestinians because these rockets
11:44
Speaker 1: are shooting are just basically filled with enough gas to say, okay,
11:47
Speaker 1: that'll hit somewhere, enough fuel to say that'll hit somewhere.
11:51
Speaker 1: In Israel and hopefully kill innocent people in Israel. That's
11:54
Speaker 1: the only thing they want to do. They just want
11:57
Speaker 1: to kill Israelis, that's all. They just want to kill Israelis.
12:01
Speaker 1: They don't care. If it's women, they don't care. If
12:03
Speaker 1: it's children, they don't care. If it's they, they don't care.
12:06
Speaker 1: Who it is, they don't care, if it's seniors, don't care.
12:08
Speaker 1: If it hits the hospital, they don't care. They just
12:11
Speaker 1: want to kill people. That's all they want to do.
12:15
Speaker 1: They just want to murder anyone that is a Jew.
12:19
Speaker 1: And she says, they're like, hey, this shouldn't be happening,
12:21
Speaker 1: and this is something that's wrong. And look, I would
12:25
Speaker 1: love that there is no one dying right now, but
12:28
Speaker 1: we wouldn't be having this conversation right now if the
12:30
Speaker 1: people in Palestine would have stood up and defended innocent
12:33
Speaker 1: lives that are dying among them and the attacks on Israel.
12:39
Speaker 1: And that is the part that people need to understand.
12:43
Speaker 1: And yet she's sitting there on the floor of the
12:45
Speaker 1: house crying, and then her squad members have to get
12:49
Speaker 1: up and come around her. Here they come, we.
12:53
Speaker 6: Are human beings, just like anyone else. My city, my grandmother,
13:01
Speaker 6: like all Palestinians, just wants to live her life with
13:05
Speaker 6: freedom and human dignity. We all deserve speaking up to
13:10
Speaker 6: save lives, Mister Chair. No matter faith, no matter ethnicity,
13:13
Speaker 6: should not be controversial in this chamber. The cries of
13:17
Speaker 6: the Palestinian and Palestinian and Israeli children sound no different
13:21
Speaker 6: to me. Why what I don't understand is why the
13:26
Speaker 6: cries of Palestinians sound different to you all. We cannot
13:30
Speaker 6: lose our shared humanity, Mister Chair. I hear the voices
13:35
Speaker 6: of advocates in Israel, in Palestine, across America and around
13:39
Speaker 6: the world for peace. I am inspired by their courageous
13:43
Speaker 6: the courageous survivors in Israel who have lost loved ones
13:46
Speaker 6: yet are calling for a ceasefire and the end to violence.
13:50
Speaker 6: I am grateful to the people in the streets for
13:54
Speaker 6: the peace movement, with countless Jewish Americans across the country
13:58
Speaker 6: standing up in lovely saying not in our name, we
14:03
Speaker 6: will continue to call for a ceasefire, mister Chair, for
14:06
Speaker 6: the immediate delivery of critical manitarian aid to Gaza, for
14:09
Speaker 6: the release of all hostages and those arbitrarily detained, and
14:12
Speaker 6: for every American to come home. We will continue to
14:16
Speaker 6: work for real, lasting peace that upholds human rights and
14:18
Speaker 6: dignity of all people in centers and peaceful coexistence between
14:23
Speaker 6: Israelis and Palestinians, and censures no one, no no one,
14:28
Speaker 6: and ensures that no person, no child has to suffer
14:31
Speaker 6: a live and fear of violence. Seventy one percent of
14:35
Speaker 6: Michigan Democrats support a ceasefire. So you can try to
14:39
Speaker 6: censor me, but you can't silence their voices. I urge
14:43
Speaker 6: my colleagues to join with the majority of Americans and
14:46
Speaker 6: support a ceasefire now to save as many lives as possible.
14:50
Speaker 6: President Biden must listen to and represent all of us,
14:54
Speaker 6: not just some of us. I urge the President to
14:57
Speaker 6: have the courage to call for a ceasefire and the
14:59
Speaker 6: end of killings.
15:01
Speaker 1: By the way, you notice she doesn't say anything about
15:04
Speaker 1: the senior citizen that was killed in America that just
15:07
Speaker 1: because he was Jewish a couple of days ago, caught
15:09
Speaker 1: on camera by Palestinian protesters. You noticed she doesn't talk
15:13
Speaker 1: anything about the kids that were brutally murdered in Israel.
15:16
Speaker 1: You know, she doesn't call out Hamas. Not one time
15:18
Speaker 1: did she call out Hamas, the terrorist group. She says,
15:21
Speaker 1: I'm a Palestinian American right. Not one time did she
15:25
Speaker 1: condemn Hamas for their attacks. Not one time did she
15:29
Speaker 1: say I condemn Hamas. This is the same woman in
15:32
Speaker 1: the hall that refused to condemn refused to condemn the
15:37
Speaker 1: attacks on the children. She was asked in the hallway
15:40
Speaker 1: by countless journalists, hey, will you will you condemn the
15:45
Speaker 1: beheading of children? She refused to do that as well,
15:49
Speaker 1: will not do it. We are learning more this morning
15:54
Speaker 1: about the shocking news that the AP, CNN and Reuters
15:59
Speaker 1: had journalists embedded with Hamas on the day of the attack.
16:04
Speaker 1: They knew in advance what was coming. They knew that
16:07
Speaker 1: they were being embedded with terrorists. They knew what was
16:10
Speaker 1: going to happen when they were embedded. It is important
16:14
Speaker 1: to expose that these photographers working for the Associated Press, CNN,
16:19
Speaker 1: New York Times and Reuters were embedded keyword embedded.
16:22
Speaker 2: They didn't react to the attack.
16:24
Speaker 1: They were embedded before the attack happened and accompany the
16:28
Speaker 1: terrorist group into Israel. They knew the attack was coming
16:34
Speaker 1: and they participated in it. The AP shared an office
16:39
Speaker 1: building just so you know, with Hamas in Gaza. You
16:44
Speaker 1: also need to know that and the idea that they
16:47
Speaker 1: didn't know this they're lying to you. Let me give
16:50
Speaker 1: you some of the background about this medium. The AP
16:53
Speaker 1: is supposed to be, you know, the best, right, Like,
16:57
Speaker 1: that's what I've been told over and over again. Oh
16:59
Speaker 1: they're the best, They're they're the best ones that they
17:02
Speaker 1: just they got it all, okay, AP Hamas. It is
17:10
Speaker 1: shocking to know that the Associated Press, and they're taking
17:14
Speaker 1: heat for claiming it had no idea how MAAS militants
17:17
Speaker 1: operate in the news agency's guys A headquarters destroyed by
17:20
Speaker 1: an Israeli airstrike. A US Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln
17:24
Speaker 1: said he had seen no evidence presented by Israel of
17:27
Speaker 1: the group's presence in the building. Now, this is a
17:30
Speaker 1: headline that I'm reading from you back in May of
17:33
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one.
17:35
Speaker 2: Quote.
17:36
Speaker 1: We have no indication Amassas in the building are active
17:39
Speaker 1: in the building, the AP president said in the statement.
17:41
Speaker 1: This is something we actively checked to the best of
17:43
Speaker 1: our ability. We would never knowingly put our journalists at risk.
17:47
Speaker 1: Guess who was embedded with Hamas AP. If you go
17:52
Speaker 1: back to these lives in the Associated Press from twenty
17:54
Speaker 1: twenty one, He said he was shocked and horrified that
17:57
Speaker 1: the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing
18:00
Speaker 1: AP's bureau and other news organizations in Gaza. But in
18:04
Speaker 1: a twenty fourteen article in The Atlantic written by a
18:07
Speaker 1: journalist in the region describing a history between the news
18:10
Speaker 1: agency and Hamas, and critics took to social media to
18:13
Speaker 1: cast doubt on that assertion that they didn't know at
18:17
Speaker 1: AP didn't know about sharing a building with Hamas for
18:20
Speaker 1: fifteen years. Question mark is what one producer of the
18:23
Speaker 1: documentary Open Secrets put out there. Noah Pollock, a contributor
18:28
Speaker 1: for The Free Beacon, sending a tweak, spoke to a
18:32
Speaker 1: well placed friend in the IDF just now the bomb
18:35
Speaker 1: AP office building contained multiple Hamas operations and offices, including
18:40
Speaker 1: weapons manufacturing and military intelligence. The building also housed an
18:45
Speaker 1: Islamic Jihat office, and AP's local reporters knew about it
18:49
Speaker 1: quote unquote. Another user wrote that the AP wrote about
18:53
Speaker 1: the AP's claim, it says doesn't say much for their
18:56
Speaker 1: reporting abilities if they missed a Hamas staging off us
19:00
Speaker 1: a floor away for fifteen years, the terrorists were in
19:05
Speaker 1: the same office building that they are in Meanwhile, Anthony
19:08
Speaker 1: Blincoln said at a news conference in Copenhagen two days
19:11
Speaker 1: after the Israeli strike, again, this was I want to
19:14
Speaker 1: be clear, two years ago that destroyed this tower, which
19:17
Speaker 1: housed multiple news outlets, including the AP, saying quote shortly
19:21
Speaker 1: after the strike, we did request additional details regarding the
19:24
Speaker 1: justification for the strike, Blincoln said, We'll leave it to
19:28
Speaker 1: others to characterize if any information has been shared and
19:31
Speaker 1: our assessment assessment of that information. He added, I have
19:35
Speaker 1: not seen any information provided. Israelis said it shared smoking
19:39
Speaker 1: gun evidence of the Biden administration officials that Hamas was
19:42
Speaker 1: operating out of that building. The strike destroyed the twelve
19:45
Speaker 1: story building an hour after the Israeli military ordered that
19:48
Speaker 1: that building be evacuated, saying the high rise was targeted
19:51
Speaker 1: because it was being used by Hamas's military intelligence.
19:54
Speaker 2: So they didn't kill innos some people.
19:56
Speaker 1: They told everybody, including the terrorists, to get out, and
19:58
Speaker 1: then they destroyed the building.
20:00
Speaker 2: Seems pretty nice to me.
20:03
Speaker 1: As to whether the AP was aware of Hamas's involvement
20:06
Speaker 1: in the building, Matti Friedman wrote in his twenty fourteen
20:10
Speaker 1: Atlanta Peace quote, and this is in fourteen because remember
20:13
Speaker 1: they shared the same building for fifteen years with Hamas.
20:16
Speaker 1: When AMA's leaders surveyed their assets before this summer's round
20:20
Speaker 1: of fighting, they knew that among those assets was the
20:22
Speaker 1: International Press. The AP staff in Gaza City would witness
20:27
Speaker 1: a rocket launch right beside their office, endangering reporters and
20:32
Speaker 1: other civilians nearby, and the AP wouldn't report it. That
20:37
Speaker 1: was reported and written in twenty fourteen. Friedman claimed that
20:42
Speaker 1: Hamas militants would regularly burst into the APIs Gaza bureau
20:45
Speaker 1: and threatened the staff, and the AP wouldn't report it.
20:50
Speaker 1: Associated Press Executive editor Sally Busby, who said the wire
20:54
Speaker 1: service has had offices in the tower for fifteen years
20:58
Speaker 1: and was never informed or had any indication that Hamas
21:00
Speaker 1: might be in the building, called for an quote independent
21:03
Speaker 1: investigation into the air strike, saying the Israeli government has
21:06
Speaker 1: yet to provide clear evidence supporting their attack. Really, we
21:10
Speaker 1: are in a conflict conflict situation, Busby said, we do
21:14
Speaker 1: not take the sides in that conflict. We heard Israeli's
21:19
Speaker 1: say they have evidence, we don't know what that evidence is.
21:22
Speaker 1: We think it's appropriate at this point for there to
21:25
Speaker 1: be an independent look at what happened yesterday an independent investigation. Separately,
21:29
Speaker 1: Paris based media watchdog Reporters Without Borders asked the International
21:33
Speaker 1: Criminal Court to investigate Israel's attack on as a possible
21:37
Speaker 1: war crime. I love how quick these people side with
21:41
Speaker 1: the terrorists. The group, known by its French acronym RSF,
21:46
Speaker 1: said it had strong reasonab believe that the IDF's intentional
21:49
Speaker 1: targeting of media organizations and intentional destruction of their equipment
21:53
Speaker 1: could violate one of the court's statues. It said Israel's
21:57
Speaker 1: actions serve to reduce, if not neutralized, the media's capacity
22:00
Speaker 1: to inform the public. The same media that wants you
22:03
Speaker 1: to believe they didn't know for fifteen years they were
22:04
Speaker 1: sharing office space with a terrorist organization, and then you
22:09
Speaker 1: fast forward to now what we know and those same
22:12
Speaker 1: news organizations had their photographers embedded with the terrorist organization,
22:18
Speaker 1: and then they were there while the trocities were taking place.
22:24
Speaker 1: These people in the media are not journalists, their propagandists.
22:29
Speaker 2: They are scumbags.
22:32
Speaker 1: The fact that this many news outlets, AP, CNN, The
22:39
Speaker 1: New York Times and Reuters all had embedded photo journalists
22:44
Speaker 1: with hamas before the attacks took place. They knew the
22:47
Speaker 1: attack was happening, They could tell what was going on,
22:49
Speaker 1: and they rode into battle with them. And then they
22:52
Speaker 1: knew that they were watching atrocites happen, and they were
22:56
Speaker 1: taking pictures and letting it happen without warning innocent people
23:01
Speaker 1: that this was coming down.
23:03
Speaker 2: Is disgusting.
23:05
Speaker 1: These photo journalists were friends with the terrorists and they
23:08
Speaker 1: watch them go door to door, drag people out and
23:11
Speaker 1: kill them, and they took pictures for sport. When I
23:15
Speaker 1: say I don't trust the media and the liberal media,
23:20
Speaker 1: that's out the door now. I don't trust the terrorist media.
23:24
Speaker 1: I don't trust the terrorist sympathizers in our media. I
23:27
Speaker 1: don't trust CNNAP or any of these organizations after what
23:32
Speaker 1: we now know. Ever, again, because they're refusing to admit
23:36
Speaker 1: that they knew this, they're now walking away from it,
23:39
Speaker 1: but they're acting like it didn't really happen. They're not
23:42
Speaker 1: angry over it because they sanctioned it. They can't be
23:45
Speaker 1: angry over it because they sanctioned it. That's the problem here.
23:49
Speaker 1: The Representative Corey Bush coming out and saying that it
23:54
Speaker 1: is time for Israel to relinquish it's right to self defense. Yes,
24:00
Speaker 1: if you can't defend yourself anymore if you're Israel. This
24:02
Speaker 1: is what she had to say at an event on
24:05
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill.
24:06
Speaker 5: I remember being on the ground during the Ferguson uprising,
24:11
Speaker 5: and I remember not knowing what to do with tear gas.
24:15
Speaker 5: The tear gas was hitting us, and didn't know what
24:18
Speaker 5: to do. And I remember one day at Palatine, a
24:22
Speaker 5: delegation of folks from Palestine showed up and taught.
24:25
Speaker 6: Us what to do.
24:28
Speaker 5: And then from there I knew how to survive the
24:31
Speaker 5: next day with all of the tear gas. But one
24:33
Speaker 5: thing that I saw rubber bullets flying, there were dogs
24:37
Speaker 5: and all of the things that were happening. But if
24:40
Speaker 5: I just traveled a mile away, there was no tear gas.
24:46
Speaker 5: There was none of this happening, and it was just
24:49
Speaker 5: like people going on with their day. Well, that's what's
24:51
Speaker 5: happening right now.
24:53
Speaker 2: That's what's happening right now.
24:54
Speaker 1: That is your Democratic Party, and everybody should remember this
24:58
Speaker 1: is your Democratic Party.
25:01
Speaker 2: That's what they're talking about.
25:02
Speaker 1: By the way, you want to know how bad things
25:04
Speaker 1: are in this country economically right now, Well, NBC News
25:09
Speaker 1: just had this report on our economy and what's happening
25:13
Speaker 1: with debt.
25:14
Speaker 4: The new data shows Americans are digging themselves deeper into
25:17
Speaker 4: credit card debt, which is now hitting an all time.
25:20
Speaker 6: High for the first time ever.
25:21
Speaker 7: The total credit card debt across the US has topped.
25:23
Speaker 5: One trillion dollars.
25:25
Speaker 6: That's a one hundred and fifty four billion dollar spike
25:29
Speaker 6: from this time last year and the largest increase in
25:31
Speaker 6: more than two decade.
25:32
Speaker 1: One trillion dollars in credit card debt is now what
25:37
Speaker 1: we have in this country, one trillion dollars. What's the
25:42
Speaker 1: President saying about this, Well, he's lying to you. Yesterday
25:47
Speaker 1: he had a speech. His speech was about what's going
25:50
Speaker 1: on with our economy, and here's what the President said
25:53
Speaker 1: about how great things actually are. As he lies to you.
25:56
Speaker 1: I'll give you the data, but first listen to what
25:58
Speaker 1: he says.
26:00
Speaker 7: Wages are actually going up, not just in your industry,
26:02
Speaker 7: but wages are going up. It's a fancy way of
26:05
Speaker 7: saying his median household wealth has grown by thirty seven
26:10
Speaker 7: percent since the pandemic, meaning people are better off thirty
26:13
Speaker 7: seven percent better off.
26:15
Speaker 1: You feeling that if that is true, then why is
26:18
Speaker 1: there a trillion dollars in credit card debt? Biden just
26:24
Speaker 1: bragged and lied that wages are actually going up. In
26:26
Speaker 1: household wealth has grown by thirty seven percent, real wages
26:31
Speaker 1: are actually down three point two percent since Biden took office.
26:35
Speaker 1: As inflation has skyrocketed. Middle class households have lost on
26:40
Speaker 1: average more than thirty three thousand dollars in real wealth
26:45
Speaker 1: in the past year alone due to rising prices. This
26:51
Speaker 1: is the President of the United States of America, just
26:54
Speaker 1: straight up lying it to you. And if you think
26:56
Speaker 1: he is cognizant of what he's saying, I'm not sure
26:59
Speaker 1: he is. Here's another example of a normal Biden speech
27:03
Speaker 1: in Illinois yesterday to.
27:04
Speaker 7: Ask, okay, I want the press to know that wasn't me.
27:22
Speaker 1: Joe Biden taking a shot himself after a thump in
27:25
Speaker 1: the audience. Biden, who trips, stumbles and falls so often
27:28
Speaker 1: this team has taken proactive steps to limit his exposure
27:32
Speaker 1: with an actual White House memo talking about it. Now,
27:36
Speaker 1: he jokes with the press about falling over, saying it's
27:39
Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't me this time. Joe Biden also
27:43
Speaker 1: started randomly screaming in the middle of his speech as well.
27:46
Speaker 1: And here's what he said.
27:48
Speaker 7: I watched it before I watched it as a kid.
27:51
Speaker 7: I watched it as a senator. I watch what happened
27:54
Speaker 7: in my community. It changed everything.
27:59
Speaker 1: There's his ran him yelling, just random, I watch what happened.
28:04
Speaker 1: Biden also required some assistance because he struggled to put
28:07
Speaker 1: on a T shirt he was given before his speech.
28:10
Speaker 1: Literally trying to put the T shirt on. It took
28:12
Speaker 1: twenty five seconds. It's the basic T shirt, didn't have
28:15
Speaker 1: any buttons. We're talking like a pull over your head,
28:18
Speaker 1: normal T shirt. He couldn't do it. He couldn't pull
28:22
Speaker 1: it down, and he had a man that had to
28:24
Speaker 1: come help him on stage put a T shirt on.
28:29
Speaker 1: This is the President of the United States of America.
28:33
Speaker 1: If you think it's any better with our Vice president
28:36
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris at the same time doing another event in Boston.
28:39
Speaker 2: Here's what she was talking about.
28:40
Speaker 8: Thank It's always important to ask, to look around the
28:44
Speaker 8: room and then ask who's not in the room, and
28:48
Speaker 8: then figure out how to bring them in. And often,
28:52
Speaker 8: and all of the leaders here know often is not
28:56
Speaker 8: just because you might leave the door open.
28:59
Speaker 2: That's not enough.
29:01
Speaker 9: You got to go out to where folks are literally
29:05
Speaker 9: where they are be it, where they are geographically or
29:09
Speaker 9: where they are in terms of what they're bringing in
29:12
Speaker 9: terms of life experience to the moment to be able
29:15
Speaker 9: to connect with them and bring them in.
29:20
Speaker 1: I'm convinced that they let her talk more now, because
29:23
Speaker 1: then when you hear her talk, you're like, Okay, maybe
29:27
Speaker 1: Joe Biden really isn't that bad after all.
29:31
Speaker 9: Wells, I got some words, I got the vocabulary, and
29:37
Speaker 9: my pronunciation is perfect.
29:42
Speaker 1: That is your Vice President of the United States of America.
29:46
Speaker 1: Biden successfully navigated the Big Stairs after arriving in Chicago.
29:50
Speaker 1: He hasn't used those stairs in a long time. He
29:52
Speaker 1: paused halfway down, took his hands off the rail to
29:57
Speaker 1: apparently show that he can still walk down the b
30:00
Speaker 1: big stairs. He's been using the little stairs out of
30:03
Speaker 1: Air Force one. But he literally stopped halfway and looked
30:06
Speaker 1: at the press like, Hey, look how great it is.
30:10
Speaker 1: I'm walking downstairs the big stairs like I'm putting on
30:15
Speaker 1: my big kid pants. Biden, who is also responsible for
30:19
Speaker 1: the worst border crisis in American history, said this about
30:23
Speaker 1: our border issues right now with Congress.
30:25
Speaker 2: I think that we ought to be.
30:28
Speaker 7: Able to combine training and really love to be able,
30:32
Speaker 7: and I'm hoping we're discussion about the boarder, and I've
30:36
Speaker 7: already made some proposent, so there was no need friend
30:39
Speaker 7: of it.
30:40
Speaker 2: There's no need for any of this.
30:41
Speaker 1: He's wanting to combine the man from Congress by combining
30:45
Speaker 1: Ukraine and Israel funding, and then he might give you
30:49
Speaker 1: some money for border security. Makes you share this podcast
30:53
Speaker 1: with your family and your friends, and I'll see you
30:55
Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
