  Speaker 1: You're not gonna want to miss it.

• 0:33
  Speaker 2: things from Elon Musk that will blow you away. So again,

  Speaker 2: make sure you hit that subscriber auto download button. And
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: on Monday and Wednesday we will be joined by Elon
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Musk on Verdict. Now here are the big stories you
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: may have missed that we talked about this week. First up,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: it is a reverse Uno card as the app that
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: used to let you just run into America the Biden
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: administration use is now a self depor app.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I'll give you those.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Details in a moment. Also, the Biden administration did nothing
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: to stop the anti Semitic protests on college campuses. Well,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: now some of those students are being arrested. We'll have
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the difference Maker and what's happening in the White House
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: behind this. And finally, Elon Musk and Dooje have uncovered
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: unbelievable amounts of loans going to children, young children during
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the pandemic. It's the weekend Review and it starts right now.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Let's deal with a really fun story and it deals
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: with an APPU it is.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I call it the reverse UNO card.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: You remember that app that allowed for accountless people to
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: come into this country and just walk in knowing they
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: were here illegally, and it was an app that was
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: exploited by the Biden Harris administration. Well, we got a
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: reverse UNO card now, center because we've got a new
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: app and it does actually the exact opposite of that,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: which is you can hurry up and self deport yourself.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Oh it's beautiful. So the Biden administration launch launched app
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: called the CBB one app. And here's what Bill Lugan,
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: who's the best reporter on immigration for Fox News, here's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: what he reported, quote scoop, the Trump admin has repurposed
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the controversial Biden era CBB one cell phone app into
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: a self deportationed app. Called CBBB Home that launches today.
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: DHS tells me any migrants who had prior CBBB one
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: app will have it auto update to this new app,
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: and DHS can use data from prior CBB one registrations
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: to track migrants for removal. The new app allows illegal
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: aliens and migrants in the US to register with CBP
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: to self deport. They fill out biographical information including their
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: countries of citizenship, which country they plan to return to,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: their alien registration numbers, contact information, and it allows them
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to upload photos of themselves to confirm their identity. All
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: of it then is submitted to cbb as they leave
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: the country. You may ask yourself, why would an illegal
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: alien want to self deport? In a statement to Fox News,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: DHS Secretary Christy Nome answered that the question quote. The
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: cbb Home app gives aliens the option to leave now
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: and self deport so they may still have the opportunity
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to return legally in the future and live the American dream.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: If they don't, we will find them, we will deport them,
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and they will never return. Nome said. The Biden administration
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: exploited the CBB one app to allow more than one
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: million aliens to enter the United States. With the launching
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: of CBB Home app, we are restoring integrity to our
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: immigration system.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: This may be one of the simplest yet biggest turn
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of events for a win on law and order in
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: our southern border dealing with the issue of immigration. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: just got to say well done to the Trump administration
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: on this one. And they keep paying off on their
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: promises to the American people.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: So Ben I got to say, I don't know if
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: this is going to work or not, but I got
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: to say, if you're an illegal immigrant, you came to
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: this country, you went to a human trafficker, you were
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: coming from, say Central America. You came up through Mexico,
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and the Biden administration said, hey, we've got an app.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Fill out your information. You can come here and we'll
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: let you in. And you filled it out. You came
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: to America and suddenly over your cell phone you get
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: oh crap, wait, they want me to go home. And
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: if I don't go home, they're going to find me.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: They're going to arrest me. They're going to send me home,
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: and the consequences are I can never come back. I
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: don't know how many people are going to respond to
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: this but I think this is fabulous. Listen. My view
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: on immigration is simple. I have some up my immigration
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: view in four words, many times legal good, illegal, bad.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: For the people who are here illegally, the Trump administration
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: is leaning in saying we're going to secure the border,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: we're going to remove you. And by the way, going
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: back to our first story, if you were a pro
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Hamas radical and anti Semite protester and you're not a
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: US citizen, bye bye, You're going to be deported. You're
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: going to be expelled. You're going to be thrown out
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: of this country. That is a view that makes an
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: enormous amount of sense to me. And we will see.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: And by the way, if we get the data on
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: how many people have used this app, we'll report on
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: this data on this podcast. But the simple act of saying,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: all right, the prior administration opened up our borders and
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: let you in, we're now enforcing them, I say, bravo, bravo, bravo.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two. And
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: this is something that you guys have also been focused
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: on on Capitol Hill when it comes to calling out
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: the Biden administration for doing nothing about the anti Semitic
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: protests that took place on our college campuses. And part
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of this is you gotta have a spotlight on it.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Yep. So this past week the Senate Judiciary Committee had
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a hearing on anti semitism. Now, you might think given
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: the massive rise in anti Semitism, particularly following October seventh,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: given the acts of violence against Jews across America, you
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: might think the Senate Judiciary Committee would be looking at this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Do you know how many hearings we had on anti semitism?
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: When the Democrats at the gabble.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go out and a lemon say zero.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Wow, you got it precisely right to the one hundred
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: decimal point that would be zero point zero zero zero.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: They do not listen at all.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: If you listen every day, I don't get these trick
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: questions right.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: So even a blind squirrel not a one. So a
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: month into the new Congress, Republicans have the majority. We
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: held a hearing this past week on anti semitism. The
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: Democrats were terrified. They didn't want to talk about it.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: But I took the opportunity to listen. I got to
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: say this issue pisces me off what we've seen happen
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: to our schools, and so I want you to listen
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: to my questioning of the witnesses and what I had
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to say last week at the hearing on anti Semitism.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Give a listen. Anti Semitism is evil, It is wrong,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: and it is flourishing with the acquiescence and in many
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: cases active participation of student of students, of faculty, of administrators,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: and government officials. And sadly, the Democrat Party has a
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: deep and pervasive problem confronting this evil. For the last
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: two years, in the wake of October seventh, this committee
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: held zero hearings on anti semitism in the United States,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: despite the fact that Republicans repeatedly called for it the
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: acts of violence. Prior to October seventh, two thousand, six
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: hundred and sixty nine anti sentemitic incidents occurred in the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: United States. Following October seventh, in less than three months,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: that number spiked over five thousand. In twenty twenty four,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: that number skyrocketed to ten thousand and five anti Semitic incidents.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: This problem is particularly acute on our college campuses Columbia University.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Columbia University was a major epicenter where they encouraged, tolerated,
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and celebrated this vicious and vile anti Semitism. Rabbi Eli
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: Buehler emailed every Jewish student on campus and said, quote,
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the events of the last few days have made it
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: clear that Columbia University's public safety cannot guarantee Jewish student
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: safety in the face of extreme anti Semitism and anarchy.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: I would strongly recommend you return home. This is the
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: rabbi at the university saying your school will not protect
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: your safety, and Colombia didn't do a damn thing about it. No,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: you what, the rabbi wasn't crazy. Here is one picture
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: taken on the campus of Columbia. In the back are
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Jewish students waving American flags and Israeli flags. In the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: front is a Columbia student wearing a mask because these
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: cowards are oh so brave, they cover their faces holding
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: a handwritten sign that says al Cassam's next targets al
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Casam is the military branch of Hamas understand what this
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: student is saying. She is calling for the murder of
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: her Jewish classmates. And by the way, this student, the
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: internet being what it is, she's been identified now on
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: the Internet. This is not a Palestinian who's subject to oppression.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: This is a rich, blonde girl from Atlanta whose parents
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: are multimillionaire real estate developers. And they got so proud.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: I'm sending my child to an Ivy League education where
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: she'll be indoctrinated to dress up and advocate Hamas murdering
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: Jewish students because they are Jews. Now, if you agree
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: that is evil and vile, let me ask you something.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: We're the Democrats. Not a one is here, and it's
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: because the Democrat Party has decided the pro Hamas wing
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: of the party is more important than protecting Jewish students
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: in America. And if you don't believe me, maybe you'll
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: believe Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer, texting with Columbia, said the
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: following On January fourth, then President of Columbia's Shaffik explained
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: to Shipman and her fellow co chair David Greenwald that
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: she had met with majority leader Chuck Schumer, who advised
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Shafik that university's political problems about anti Semitism are really
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: only among Republicans. We the Democrats, we don't care about
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: this anti semitism stuff. Ms Lewin, am I the only
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: person that has noticed that these anti Israel, Prohomas antisemitic protests,
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: that the tents all match.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: No, you are not the only one to have noticed.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Is it clear that there is significant money funding these
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: attacks on Jewish students and attacks on America.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: It is clear that there is coordination and there must
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: be some common funding.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: In the last two years under the Biden Justice Department.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Are you aware of any investigation to follow the money
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: behind these protests?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: I am not.
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: Are you aware of anyone who has been indicted for
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: funding these protests?
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: I am not.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Are you aware of any university that has had their
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Title six federal funds cut off because they've tolerated welcome,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: celebrated in the center, Holly put Out, had their own
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: officials cheering on anti semitism. Has even one university lost
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: their funding?
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I am not aware of any university having actually lost
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: their fund And.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: I'll point out also some of the defenders say free speech,
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: free speech. You're right, you have a free speech writer
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: as an American citizen to say vile, hateful, bigoted things.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you something. If a university student went
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: into the public square dressed up in a clan outfit,
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: burned across and said we should murder African American students,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: do you have any doubt the university would expel that student.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: I'm secarely certain that the universities would take action and
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: ensure that they're politic.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: They should expel them. If they're foreign students, they should
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: be deported. And mark my words, if you were horrified
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: at the anti semitism, you will see the Trump Department
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: of Justice. Follow the money, prosecute the people who are
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: paying for this, Prosecute those engaged in violence, and cut
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: off the money from universities that are tolerating and celebrating this.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: That is the rule of law. And ask yourself, why
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: did the Biden Justice Department do absolutely nothing about this
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: horror that is unfolding Center.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: It was unbelievable to hear you call it out, and
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I do think we just have to remind people this
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: is systematic on our college campuses, especially the IVY leagues.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I go back in my head to Harvard and just
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: defiance of some of these individuals when they were testifying
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: before Congress. They had no problem standing with these anti
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Semitic protesters.
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: Look, because they believe the same things the administrators. They
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: have been teaching the same poison. The faculty has been
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: teaching the same poison. And I'll note that clip you
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: played while I was questioning at the hearing of anti semitism,
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: as I noted, not a single Democrat senator was in
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: the room. The hearing room was empty, and that really
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: spoke volumes that they don't want to talk about this.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: And the problem is a political problem in today's Democrat Party.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: There is a real and meaningful pro Hamas wing of
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the Democrat Party, and the Democrats are terrified of that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: pro Hamas wing of the Democrat Party. The question I've
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: asked repeatedly, and look, most of the people who listen
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: to Verdict are I think politically right of center, are
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: conservative or libertarians. But we actually have fair number of
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: reporters to listen to Verdick, And you know, I'm hoping
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: we have a handful of open minded, free thinking liberals,
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: people who consider themselves left of center, but recognize that
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: if you want to actually have an intelligent understanding of
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the issues, then you want to hear from a wide
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: spectrum of views and try to process and ascertain what
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: is right. If you at home are one of those.
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: Let's say you're a Democrat who lives in New York City.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: Let's say you voted for Kamala Harris, you voted for
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden. Maybe you voted for Barack Obama. If you
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: disagree with the Prohamas wing of the Democrat Party, if
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: you don't like the viole anti Semites that have flourished
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: on college campuses and that have threatened the safety of
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: Jewish students, you ought to ask yourself very seriously, what
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: happened in the last week. Columbia got its money cut off.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: A one of the organizers of the protests is going
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: to be deported. Why didn't any of that happen under
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden. There was nothing to prevent the Biden administration
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: from doing this. They had every bit of legal authority.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: As far as I can tell, they didn't even investigate it.
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: They didn't ask where the money came from. I certainly
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: asked the Attorney General in the FBI repeatedly if they
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: were doing that, if they were investigating it. They refused
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: to tell the Senate. They refused to tell me. And
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: we do know that no one paid any consequences for
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: it because no one was indicted, and that ends up
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: encouraging more of this. And you have to ask yourself,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: was that an accident or was there a reason? Listen,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: if Kamala Harris, god forbid, had been elected president November, Ben,
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: let me ask you this, what do you think of
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: the odds Columbia would have had that four hundred million
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: cut off if Kamala Harris were president?
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: No?
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Zero percent?
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: And I bet you the airplay Semitism would explode on
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: college chemises because would not have any worries at trunction.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: She might be marching with the Prohamas protesters. And by
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: the way, this organizer who's being deported the odds of
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: his being deported of Oma we're president are zero. Elections
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: have consequences, and this issue, this issue matters.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: So center, let's take people back in time to a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: campaign promise from the President. He made it clear that
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: if you were one of these students that is from
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: overseas has gotten a special special invitation, the ability to
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: come and study in America, and you are on campuses
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: and you're you know, act actually going out there and
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: advocating for violence and taking over buildings on college campuses.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: We're going to kick you out of this country. Well
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: guess what, there was one radical on a college campus.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: This is exactly what happened. Is Ice detained and they said, look,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: we're going to revoke your green card. And now Democrats
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: are protesting the arrest of the Syrian radical in New York.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it really is astonishing. And let's look at what
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: happened in the United States following October seventh. Following October seventh,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: we saw protests on college campuses across this country, predominantly
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: in left wing college campuses in blue states, where radical
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: pro Hamas protesters stood up and they denounced Israel. They
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: chanted things like we love Hamas, we are Hamas. They
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: threatened Jewish students, they engaged in acts of violence, and
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: they threatened even more acts of violence, and astonishingly been
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: the Democrats were silent. You know, there's some folks who said,
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: in the wake of these protests, well, gosh, it's terrible,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: but they're happening all over the country. That's not right.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: They were only happening in blue states with blue elected officials.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: They happened in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California,
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Washington State. They didn't happen to Florida. They didn't happen
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: in Texas. Actually, in Texas, we briefly had protesters at
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: the University of Texas and official sent in police officers
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: that arrested them all and it was done within a day.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: The places that had happened, it happened because the university
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: administrators agreed with the protesters and the elected officials. They
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: had been indoctrinated in the leftist ideology that said Israel
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: is the bad guy and Hamas is the good guy. Now,
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: one of the things you and I have talked about
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: at length. And by the way, if you did not
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: listen to Monday's podcast you should listen to Monday's podcasts
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: because we did a deep dive on the Trump administration
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: rightly cutting off four hundred million dollars of grants to
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: Columbia University. Colombia was probably the single worst actor in
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: all of these universities in terms of tolerating and celebrating
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: these anti Israel, anti Jewish protests, but not only that,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: arresting a pro Hamas protester and let me be clear,
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: this is the first of many. I believe we will
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: see many more of the pro Hamas protesters are rested
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: and deported. And what I've said from the beginning, if
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: you are threatening other students, if you are attacking America,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: if you are embracing terrorists, and you're a foreign student,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: you should be expelled and you should be deported. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: what happened Mahmoud Khalil, who is from Syria, he came
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: to the United States. My understanding is in two thousand
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: and twenty two. He came to be a student at Columbia.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: He married a woman from the United States. He got
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: a green card, So twenty twenty two is three years ago.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: It's not very long. He got a green card very quickly.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: And in his time in America, he came into America
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: and he organized anti America, anti Israel, anti Semitic Prohamas protests.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: Now it's interesting there have been a number of people online,
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: number of leftist whore saying, well, this is free speech,
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: this is allowed. Let me be clear. Under US law,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: American citizens are protected by the First Amendment. Foreigners are
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: not a visa to come to this country as a student.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: That is a permissive decision, and you do not have
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: a right if you are a guest to this country
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: to actively undermine American Let me be clear to anyone.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: If you hate America, if you want to undermind America,
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: do not come to this country. And the Trump administration
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: rightly arrested and plans to deport Mahmoud Khalil for organizing
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: anti Israel, anti America pro Hamas protests. And what's stunning, Ben,
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: what do you think the reaction the Democrats is to this?
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: They stand with Khalil, they stand with the anti Israel
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: pro Hamas protesters. So if you want to know where
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: you stand, if you stand with Israel, if you stand
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: with American Jews, if you stand with freedom, if you
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: stand with the right to be free from oppression and violence,
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: that ain't the Democrats. They stand with those engaged by
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: as before.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: on this topic, you can go back and dow the
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: I want to get back to the big story number
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: three of the week you may have missed.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: I want to move to this other story, and the
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: headline is one that is not a joke. It is real.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: DOGE has now said that they have uncovered three hundred
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: and twelve million senator in loans that were given to
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: children during the COVID pandemic.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, to children like nine year olds, eleven year olds.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: There was three hundred and twelve million that was approved
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and given to children.
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: Well, you said this is not a joke, and sadly
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: I wish it was. Here's what Fox News has reported.
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: Quote Does said it identified this Small Business Association administration
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I assume granted nearly five thousand, six hundred loans for
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: three hundred and twelve million dollars to borrow b errors
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: who only listed owner was eleven years old or younger
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: at the time of the loan. The loans were issued
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, and it is
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: unclear what they were used for.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Quote.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: While it is possible to have business arrangements where this
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: is legal, five hundred and ninety three loans, as they
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: all also used a social Security number with the incorrect name.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: DOGE and the SBA government are working together to solve
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: this problem. This week. While making the announcement, Does shared
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: a post on x from Tuesday where it also revealed
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: that in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, the SBA
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: issued three thousand, ninety five loans for three hundred and
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: thirty three million dollars to borrows over one hundred and
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: fifteen years old. The borrowers were still marked as alive
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: in the Social Security database. In one case, a one
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty seven year old individual received thirty six
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: thousand dollars in loans. The agency said, Look, this is
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: I feel very confident that nobody is one hundred and
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: fifty seven years old. And if they are and they're
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: getting thirty six thousand dollars, that is fraud.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: It's fraud. And we all know this. And look, this
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: goes back to what President Trump said is addressed to
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: Congress on Tuesday, when he talked about he said there
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: was millions of people aged over one hundred that were
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: listed on so Security databases, with one being as old
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: at three hundred and sixty years of age. And I
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: go back to Trump's quote there, I know some people.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Who are ready.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: I want to know, is that guy the vattireless statt
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: is he like literally an age ageless vampire who like
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: flies with the bats.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, right, exactly.
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: And this goes back to Elon Musk and a job
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: that he's doing that I got his say rarely in
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: my life.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: I thought there's a job that only one guy could do. Well.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It seems to be dojen Elon Musk because finding this
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: type of waste fraud abuse is exactly what Donald Trump promised,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: and they're paying off on it. But every American that
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: pays taxes should be enraged by the fact that we're
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: giving this much money to people that are children, or
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: this much money to someone that's as old as three
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: hundred and sixty years of age.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: To be clear, if you're giving millions of dollars to
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: a five year old, you're not that is an adult
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: engaged in theft. If you're giving millions of dollars to
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: someone who's one hundred and fifty years old, you're not.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: That is an adult engaged in theft. What this report
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: indicates is that the Biden administration didn't give a damn
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: about whether the money was actually going to real people
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: who had real needs, who were engaged in the purposes
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: for which Congress appropriated the money in. Instead, they were
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: just shoveling money out the door and tragically, the fraud
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: was rampant. In many instances, the fraud was going to
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: radical left wing Democrat groups because the Biden administration believed
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: in paying off their buddies. In other cases, they're just lazy.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: They don't care. When a six year old puts in
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: an application for government money, the answer should be no,
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: because you're six and you ought to be playing with
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: blocks in kindergarten and not trying to get millions of
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: dollars from the government. But if you're a corrupt Democrat,
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: you give the millions of dollars and let the parents
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: use it for the political purposes they want.
• 25:35
