Fauci Made It Up! The 6ft Rule was Worthless · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: You are not gonna believe what I'm about to tell you,
0:03
Speaker 1: and that is that most of us were right all along.
0:06
Speaker 2: There was no.
0:07
Speaker 1: Science behind one of the biggest mandates during the lockdowns
0:13
Speaker 1: with COVID nineteen that came from doctor Anthony Fauci, the
0:16
Speaker 1: same guy that said follow the science. Now Anthony Fauci
0:21
Speaker 1: is admitting behind closed door testimony, that's social distancing. Remember
0:27
Speaker 1: these six foot and all the stupid markers on the floor,
0:29
Speaker 1: and you can't be next to each other within six feet,
0:33
Speaker 1: and tables had to be moved six feet apart for
0:35
Speaker 1: you to eat out, and restaurants went under and businesses
0:38
Speaker 1: went under. And then at worked, we had to change
0:40
Speaker 1: what days people could come into work.
0:42
Speaker 2: Here Tuesday, Thursday, your Monday.
0:43
Speaker 1: Wednesday, Friday, you're gonna work the later shift, and we're
0:46
Speaker 1: gonna have a morning shift.
0:47
Speaker 2: So fewer people were in the building. It was all crap.
0:50
Speaker 1: It was all bs Anthony Fauci, and I hope that
0:54
Speaker 1: every one of you will share this everywhere on social
0:57
Speaker 1: media because he needs to be publicly shamed, and we
1:00
Speaker 1: need to completely overhaul every single department that dealt with
1:05
Speaker 1: COVID in the United States government because of what Fauci
1:09
Speaker 1: has now admitted Behind closed door, he admitted that social
1:13
Speaker 1: distancing quote was not based on science. It quote sort
1:19
Speaker 1: of just appeared. Really, So you guys just made it up.
1:25
Speaker 1: You're sitting in a room and you're trying to stop
1:28
Speaker 1: the spread in two weeks. Remember that promise, We're going
1:30
Speaker 1: to shut down the entire country and somehow we'll start
1:33
Speaker 1: the spread in two weeks. It just sort of appeared.
1:36
Speaker 1: So let's think about that mentality for a moment. Imagine
1:41
Speaker 1: you're sitting in an office and you're supposed to be
1:43
Speaker 1: following the science, but you don't know what to do
1:46
Speaker 1: with the science, right, You have no idea what to
1:48
Speaker 1: do with the science, So instead, what do you do?
1:51
Speaker 2: You make it up? All right, well, we should have
1:53
Speaker 2: a social distancing rule. Great idea. Okay, how do we
1:56
Speaker 2: do that? All right, let's see how do we do that?
1:58
Speaker 2: How do we do that? Okay, here's what we're going
1:59
Speaker 2: to do.
2:00
Speaker 1: We're gonna socially distance between one another. Uh, and we're
2:04
Speaker 1: gonna do it in a way that is, oh, six
2:07
Speaker 1: feet does that sound good?
2:08
Speaker 2: No? No, let's start with four feet. No, that's too close.
2:10
Speaker 1: That didn't seem that didn't seem scientific enough. How about
2:14
Speaker 1: three feet? Definitely not scientific enough. We need something that
2:17
Speaker 1: seems scientific. Okay, what is it gonna be? All right, well,
2:20
Speaker 1: let's go to let's go to six Uh, let's go
2:24
Speaker 1: to five feet. Let's go to No, No, six feet,
2:26
Speaker 1: six feet sounds good.
2:27
Speaker 2: That's far enough.
2:28
Speaker 1: Hey, you stand over there, somebody get me a measuring tape,
2:32
Speaker 1: and let's decide what distance looks scientific enough for.
2:36
Speaker 2: All of us. That's basically what we've now warned. They did.
2:40
Speaker 1: They when I say they made it up as they went,
2:42
Speaker 1: they literally made it up as they went, like like
2:44
Speaker 1: in a way that is just hilarious. They straight up
2:48
Speaker 1: made it up. They just they just lied like it
2:52
Speaker 1: was all a massive lie. It was all something they
2:56
Speaker 1: just completely and utterly made up. It was not based
2:59
Speaker 1: in fact. It was not based in science. None of
3:05
Speaker 1: this was based in science. It was all a lie.
3:09
Speaker 1: Now Fauci is admitting this. Now he's admitting it. Doctor Fauci,
3:15
Speaker 1: the public face of the US coronavirus pandemic response, told
3:19
Speaker 1: lawmakers this week that the social distancing recommendations forced on
3:24
Speaker 1: Americans sort of just appeared quote unquote and were likely
3:28
Speaker 1: not based on scientific data at all. Fauci made the
3:32
Speaker 1: startling revelation in a closed door interview with the House
3:35
Speaker 1: Select Committee on Coronavirus Pandemic. He also testified that the
3:40
Speaker 1: lab leak hypothesis, which by the way, was suppressed by
3:44
Speaker 1: the media and Fauci and all the people around. Fauci
3:47
Speaker 1: is saying, oh, you can't talk about that, right, must
3:49
Speaker 1: be that's misinformation. You put that on social media, they
3:52
Speaker 1: would shut you down. You weren't allowed to say it
3:54
Speaker 1: on TV. Yeah, guess what. It wasn't a conspiracy.
3:57
Speaker 2: Theory at all.
3:58
Speaker 1: It was based in real probable facts we've now learned
4:02
Speaker 1: from Anthony Fauci, of course behind closed doors, and that
4:05
Speaker 1: also the policies and the mandates that he promoted may
4:09
Speaker 1: have increased vaccine hesitancy in the future. That is what
4:14
Speaker 1: the committee chairman, brad Winstrup, a Republican from Ohio, wrote.
4:19
Speaker 2: In the statement on Wednesday.
4:21
Speaker 1: Now, the Congressman's committee has been investigating whether government officials
4:25
Speaker 1: at the time, including Fauci, worked to suppress questions about
4:29
Speaker 1: whether the pandemic was the result of a lab leak
4:33
Speaker 1: in Wuhan, China. Republicans have accused those officials of pushing
4:38
Speaker 1: the natural origin theory in a bid to protect China.
4:42
Speaker 1: Remember when they said it came from a wet market
4:44
Speaker 1: and came from bats or dogs or cats or whatever
4:46
Speaker 1: the hell was in that market.
4:47
Speaker 2: Remember that. Well.
4:49
Speaker 1: Fauci became a politically polarizing figure, as you now know,
4:53
Speaker 1: during the pandemic. He was vilified by those opposed to lockdowns,
4:58
Speaker 1: those that were posed to the mass mandates, those that
5:01
Speaker 1: were opposed to the vaccine mandates. He was idolized by
5:05
Speaker 1: those who agree with all the government actions and that
5:08
Speaker 1: they should put you six feet apart. I will never
5:11
Speaker 1: forget looking at parks where they actually used spray paint
5:14
Speaker 1: to spray paint circles in the park so that you
5:17
Speaker 1: would be socially distanced from one another while outside while
5:21
Speaker 1: wearing masks. I will never forget what they did to
5:24
Speaker 1: our kids in schools by putting them around plexiglass and
5:27
Speaker 1: then sending them home. I will never forget them forcing
5:30
Speaker 1: parents to miss the dads missing the birth of their
5:35
Speaker 1: children in hospitals because of all the mandates. This all
5:39
Speaker 1: came from a overzealous psychopath named doctor Anthony Fauci.
5:44
Speaker 2: Now doctor Fauci's.
5:46
Speaker 1: Transcribed interview revealed systemic failures in our public health system
5:51
Speaker 1: and shed light on serious procedural concerns with our public
5:54
Speaker 1: health authority. The Congressman wrote, Who's also a physician of
5:57
Speaker 1: more than thirty years, so you can't say it's some
6:00
Speaker 1: random guy who doesn't know anything right right, follow the science.
6:04
Speaker 2: They keep yelling, follow the science.
6:07
Speaker 1: It is clear that assenting opinions were often not considered
6:11
Speaker 1: at all or suppressed completely. Should a future pandemic arise,
6:16
Speaker 1: America's response must be guided by scientific facts and conclusive data.
6:21
Speaker 1: The Congressman went on to say, from the committee, as
6:24
Speaker 1: you remember, many schools across the country were shuttered in
6:27
Speaker 1: order to comply with the six foot rule of social distancing,
6:31
Speaker 1: which Fauci is now saying was made up, not in science.
6:35
Speaker 2: Why do they do it?
6:36
Speaker 1: It was in an effort to stop the other big
6:39
Speaker 1: headline of their making, stop the spread, while it also
6:43
Speaker 1: helped spur lockdowns and restrictions in public spaces as well
6:47
Speaker 1: as bars and restaurants, and many people lost their businesses. However, Fauci,
6:52
Speaker 1: according to the Congressman, characterized the development of the guidance
6:56
Speaker 1: by stating, quote, it sort of just appeared folks, So
7:01
Speaker 1: it wasn't based in science. I'm wondering the mask that
7:04
Speaker 1: they said everybody had to wear it did that just
7:05
Speaker 1: sort of just appear? I wonder if the lockdowns just
7:08
Speaker 1: sort of disappeared?
7:09
Speaker 3: Right?
7:10
Speaker 1: Was any of this based in any science by anybody
7:12
Speaker 1: at all?
7:13
Speaker 2: I'm not done.
7:15
Speaker 1: Fauci also acknowledged that the lab leak hypothesis, which claims
7:19
Speaker 1: the coronavirus originated from a lab in Wuhan, is not
7:24
Speaker 1: Listen carefully and again please share this everywhere. Is not
7:28
Speaker 1: a conspiracy theory. Wow, because if I put that on
7:33
Speaker 1: social media back during the pandemic, my account would be
7:36
Speaker 1: locked down. Remember when they silenced to sending opinions. Do
7:41
Speaker 1: you remember Fauci and people around him were sending the
7:45
Speaker 1: names and accounts of people that were asking these questions,
7:49
Speaker 1: telling them to shut them down or to make sure
7:52
Speaker 1: their account wouldn't be seen by people, because they were
7:55
Speaker 1: putting out, as they described it, quote disinformation. In fact,
8:00
Speaker 1: the congressman said, Fauci played semantics with the definition of
8:04
Speaker 1: a quote lab leak while acknowledging that a lab leak
8:08
Speaker 1: was in fact possible. Now, the congressman said that this
8:12
Speaker 1: admission from Fauci came nearly four years after promoting the
8:18
Speaker 1: publication of the proximal origin paper that attempted to vilify
8:23
Speaker 1: and disprove the lab leak hypothesis.
8:27
Speaker 2: The congressman said.
8:28
Speaker 1: Fauci also admitted behind closed doors that America's vaccine mandate
8:34
Speaker 1: during the COVID nineteen pandemic could increase vaccine hesitancy in
8:38
Speaker 1: the future, and that he had advised American universities to
8:42
Speaker 1: impose vaccine mandates on their students.
8:46
Speaker 2: So, in other words, you get run over.
8:48
Speaker 1: By the science that we make up and if you
8:50
Speaker 1: don't agree with the science, will ruin your life.
8:53
Speaker 2: Quote. It's been proven that.
8:55
Speaker 1: When you make it difficult for people in their lives,
8:57
Speaker 1: they lose their ideological bull bloe and they get vaccinated.
9:01
Speaker 1: Fauci previously stated. Wow, let's say that again. Fauci said this,
9:06
Speaker 1: and this is what he believed about you. It's been
9:09
Speaker 1: proven that when you make it difficult for people in
9:13
Speaker 1: their lives, they lose their ideological bull sahi t and
9:19
Speaker 1: they get vaccinated.
9:20
Speaker 2: That's doctor Fauci's words.
9:22
Speaker 1: The guy that made more money than the president had
9:24
Speaker 1: more power, I would argue in the president during the pandemic,
9:28
Speaker 1: and that's what he thought about the science.
9:30
Speaker 2: He made it up.
9:32
Speaker 1: But this is also the guy that said, it's been
9:34
Speaker 1: quote proven that when you make it difficult for people
9:36
Speaker 1: in their lives, they lose their ideological bs and they
9:40
Speaker 1: get vaccinated.
9:40
Speaker 2: He used the whole word. That's Anthony Fauci.
9:43
Speaker 1: Now, I want to get back to this report where
9:46
Speaker 1: all this came out behind closed doors with Fauci. The
9:50
Speaker 1: congressmen also said that the committee became very frustrated by
9:55
Speaker 1: Fauci's inability to recollect COVID nineteen information that was important
10:00
Speaker 1: to the investigation, although he praised him for at least
10:04
Speaker 1: showing up. Fauci also denied allegations that he visited the
10:08
Speaker 1: CIA during the pandemic or influenced the CIA's investigation into
10:12
Speaker 1: the origins of COVID nineteen. Kentucky Republican Senator Ran Paul,
10:18
Speaker 1: who was one of Fauci's biggest nemesis, said in an
10:21
Speaker 1: appearance on the ingram Angle on Fox that Fauci lied
10:26
Speaker 1: about the origins of COVID. I want you to hear
10:29
Speaker 1: what he said in his own words. Again, Fauci was
10:32
Speaker 1: holding him accountable. Here is what he had to say.
10:36
Speaker 4: I'm bother. On the topic of government officials who think
10:39
Speaker 4: they can conceal the truth, enter Anthony Fauci more than
10:43
Speaker 4: one hundred times. During closed door testimony yesterday, he told
10:46
Speaker 4: lawmakers that he did not recall important information and conversations
10:51
Speaker 4: relevant to the origins of COVID nineteen and the US
10:54
Speaker 4: pandemic response that he presided over.
10:57
Speaker 5: Senator pauls that remind you of kind of remind you
10:59
Speaker 5: of Bill a little bit.
11:00
Speaker 2: I don't recall.
11:01
Speaker 5: And then he gets into the definition of what is
11:04
Speaker 5: is is gain of function?
11:05
Speaker 6: Is?
11:05
Speaker 5: What is the definition of gain of function? Everything's parsing
11:08
Speaker 5: words when he can remember, and most of the time
11:11
Speaker 5: if it's an important question, he can't remember. But he
11:13
Speaker 5: did admit that, you know what, he approved all of
11:16
Speaker 5: the research, but he didn't read or review any of it.
11:19
Speaker 5: And he doesn't know how or what process there is
11:21
Speaker 5: for having oversight for foreign research like the research that
11:24
Speaker 5: went on, and we want it's amazing.
11:26
Speaker 4: So we are seeing a generation that is suffering. You
11:30
Speaker 4: hear from teachers, you hear from employers who've really been
11:35
Speaker 4: put behind the eight ball because of that. Closures, closures
11:38
Speaker 4: of schools, we have excess deaths, perhaps related to some
11:42
Speaker 4: of the treatments and so forth. And he's like, can't
11:45
Speaker 4: remember the guy who was the highest paid official for
11:47
Speaker 4: how many years?
11:48
Speaker 5: But if he was here, he would tell you that
11:50
Speaker 5: he was foreclosing the schools, before, he was against closing
11:53
Speaker 5: the schools, before, he was foward again, and then against it.
11:56
Speaker 2: So many things, But the one.
11:57
Speaker 5: Thing that's consistent about Anthony Fauci is what he says
12:00
Speaker 5: in private is largely true. What he says in public
12:03
Speaker 5: is largely a lie. When asked about the masks by
12:06
Speaker 5: a fellow co worker, Sylvia Burwell, he told them the truth.
12:09
Speaker 5: He said, the masks don't work because the pores are
12:12
Speaker 5: bigger than a viry.
12:12
Speaker 4: Study revealed that about the influenza.
12:14
Speaker 2: It then, in public he wears three masks.
12:16
Speaker 5: In private, he tells his colleagues, you don't really need
12:18
Speaker 5: to wear one. It's the same with immunity, it's the
12:21
Speaker 5: same with the vaccines, and it's really the same with
12:23
Speaker 5: gain of function. In private, he said, yes, we're suspicious
12:27
Speaker 5: that the virus was manipulated. Looks manipulated, and we know
12:30
Speaker 5: they're doing gain of function.
12:32
Speaker 2: In Wuhan, he.
12:33
Speaker 5: Describes it that's in a private email. In public to
12:36
Speaker 5: this day, he still denies that they funded any gain
12:38
Speaker 5: of research, gain of function research in wu Want.
12:40
Speaker 2: It's all an entire life.
12:42
Speaker 4: That wouldn't be a big scandal or anything, would it.
12:44
Speaker 4: Would it be like we ended up putting money to
12:46
Speaker 4: ecohalth alliance that gave money to Wuhan that ultimately spun
12:50
Speaker 4: off that virus and then appealing nine million people.
12:53
Speaker 5: A million people died here, nine to twenty million people worldwide,
12:57
Speaker 5: and not one Democrat has stepped forward on the committee.
13:00
Speaker 2: In the hearings where there were.
13:02
Speaker 5: Fauci's testifying, the Democrats are still defending him and saying
13:05
Speaker 5: nothing to see here. It wasn't gain a function, but
13:08
Speaker 5: it's all sort of parsing of words. The viruses they
13:11
Speaker 5: were creating in the lab were more infectious. They became
13:14
Speaker 5: more infectious and more dead and more deadly, more infectious
13:17
Speaker 5: and more deadly.
13:19
Speaker 1: One of the things I have to give credit to
13:21
Speaker 1: Fauci for is not backing down and actually following the science.
13:27
Speaker 2: There were disastrous.
13:29
Speaker 1: Effects on schools, specifically. Doctor Fauci was also asked about
13:36
Speaker 1: this and he said, I'm not convinced kids suffered learning losses.
13:40
Speaker 2: The data shows that that is also a lie.
13:43
Speaker 1: In fact, they say that five years from now, six
13:46
Speaker 1: years from now, what we're going to see is going
13:49
Speaker 1: to be catastrophic for the kids that went home and
13:53
Speaker 1: didn't learn anything and basically were babysat for almost two years,
13:58
Speaker 1: they weren't distance learning.
14:00
Speaker 2: Well, they're not going to get caught back up.
14:04
Speaker 1: There's no one that's going after these kids and saying, Okay,
14:07
Speaker 1: we know we let you down. We know we let
14:09
Speaker 1: you you know you're behind, We know that you're lacking
14:12
Speaker 1: skills and reading, writing and arithmetic. We know we put
14:15
Speaker 1: you behind, So we're going to get you back up
14:18
Speaker 1: to where you need to be.
14:20
Speaker 2: We're not doing that.
14:22
Speaker 1: The kids of COVID that lost those years, especially in
14:24
Speaker 1: those really important years, they are going to be shattered academically.
14:30
Speaker 1: You don't overcome this unless you have a parent at
14:33
Speaker 1: home or a grandparent or someone that truly cares that says, okay,
14:37
Speaker 1: you're way behind and we got to get you caught
14:40
Speaker 1: back up. It's going to take a one on one
14:44
Speaker 1: initiative and what it found you saying he had no
14:47
Speaker 1: problem with it right shutting down the schools you can't
14:50
Speaker 1: put that on me. He's the guy that advocated for it.
14:53
Speaker 1: He's the one that was calling schools, calling teachers, unions,
14:56
Speaker 1: calling universities, telling them to put in these mandates and
15:00
Speaker 1: shut down schools. He was the one advocating for shutting
15:03
Speaker 1: down the schools. And Fauci then says in testimony, Oh,
15:06
Speaker 1: I'm not convinced kids.
15:07
Speaker 2: Suffered learning losses. Listen to this.
15:11
Speaker 3: Well, speaking of kids being forced to attend school remotely.
15:14
Speaker 3: The Fox News and died Common Sense Department was a
15:16
Speaker 3: bit surprised when doctor Anthony Fauci told a Congressional COVID
15:19
Speaker 3: panel that he's not convinced that kids suffered learning loss
15:23
Speaker 3: during the pandemic school closures, which is odd because two
15:26
Speaker 3: years ago doctor Fauci, who by the way, claimed he
15:29
Speaker 3: had nothing to do with school closures, did acknowledge that
15:33
Speaker 3: remote learning was quote deleterious for kids that means harmful,
15:37
Speaker 3: and the Department of Education agreed, saying the reading scores
15:40
Speaker 3: among fourth graders dropped to their lowest point in thirty years,
15:44
Speaker 3: math scores even worse, dropping for the first time in
15:47
Speaker 3: a half century and forty Other studies from around the
15:50
Speaker 3: world now conclude that students continue to struggle with misbehavior,
15:55
Speaker 3: higher rates of violence, and mental health challenges, and students
15:59
Speaker 3: in high poverty suffered the most damage that might take
16:02
Speaker 3: decades to recover. We should note doctor Fauci has a
16:05
Speaker 3: history of adjusting his opinions, and we don't just mean
16:09
Speaker 3: condemning lab leak theories, but for better or worse. Fauci
16:13
Speaker 3: was among the nation's preeminent voices on COVID, and for
16:17
Speaker 3: him to now come out and say that he's not
16:19
Speaker 3: convinced there was learning loss during COVID, A common sense
16:23
Speaker 3: thinks that is just what's the word?
16:25
Speaker 2: Oh right, deleterious is the word. Let's bring in reform.
16:31
Speaker 3: California Chairman Carl Demile and the co author of Stolen Youth,
16:34
Speaker 3: Bethany Mandel Carl to you, Firsch Fauci not being convinced
16:38
Speaker 3: the school closures were deleterious.
16:41
Speaker 6: I think there are millions of moms and dads across
16:44
Speaker 6: the country that would beg to differ. I mean, this
16:46
Speaker 6: guy has always been presented by the liberal media as
16:49
Speaker 6: completely perfect, He's never going to be wrong, and yet
16:52
Speaker 6: he gets things so dead wrong, and he gets the
16:56
Speaker 6: Hall pass every single time. And we're supposed to thank
16:58
Speaker 6: him for all of his mistake. The number of times
17:01
Speaker 6: he said, I don't recall during these hearings astounding, we
17:05
Speaker 6: shut down our entire economy and he can't recall why.
17:08
Speaker 6: And finally, he also admitted during these hearings that he
17:11
Speaker 6: didn't know whether there was any scientific basis for the
17:15
Speaker 6: six feet of separation. He said, we just kind of
17:18
Speaker 6: came up with that, but I don't know if there
17:19
Speaker 6: was any science behind it.
17:20
Speaker 2: Yeah.
17:21
Speaker 6: I mean, will anyone hold these people accountable for the
17:23
Speaker 6: damage they've done?
17:24
Speaker 2: I think the answer is no.
17:25
Speaker 3: Education Week had this headline back in June, Bethany, and
17:28
Speaker 3: I'll get your thoughts. Reading and math achievement is getting.
17:32
Speaker 2: Worse, the nation report card shows.
17:34
Speaker 3: So even after a Fauci said this a couple of
17:36
Speaker 3: years ago, the results keep coming in and they keep
17:39
Speaker 3: getting more detrimental.
17:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they're going to keep on getting more and
17:45
Speaker 7: more detrimental because when kids tried to learn how to
17:48
Speaker 7: read in first grade on Zoom spoiler alert, it didn't
17:51
Speaker 7: go well. When those first graders who now can't read
17:54
Speaker 7: are in fourth, fifth, sixth, tenth grade and they still
17:57
Speaker 7: haven't caught up, that means they can't read their science textbook,
17:59
Speaker 7: they can't fall along in history, they can't fall along
18:02
Speaker 7: in anything. So the damage that we've done to this generation,
18:05
Speaker 7: it's going to keep on building exponentially. And I don't
18:08
Speaker 7: know why we have to foia the documents from Fauci
18:12
Speaker 7: to get his real story. But obviously, obviously all of
18:16
Speaker 7: this was bad for kids, and we're going to see
18:18
Speaker 7: it play out over the next ten years and it's.
18:20
Speaker 2: Not going to be good. She just said what I said.
18:22
Speaker 1: We're going to see this all play out over the
18:24
Speaker 1: next ten years, and it's not going to be good.
18:28
Speaker 1: You listen to what he said there, It's amazing how
18:30
Speaker 1: much this guy can't recall anything when he's the guy
18:33
Speaker 1: that put it all into place. Right, you look at
18:38
Speaker 1: everything that happened. You look at sports and what it
18:42
Speaker 1: did to kids' lives. You look at reading, writing, and
18:44
Speaker 1: arithmetic and what it did to kids' lives. They said
18:47
Speaker 1: it was too dangerous for kids to play flag football.
18:49
Speaker 1: For goodness sakes, this is insanity at the hands of Fauci,
18:54
Speaker 1: who's now admitting, Hey, the stuff we came up with,
18:57
Speaker 1: we basically just lied, right, We lied, and we.
19:01
Speaker 2: Made it up. We just straight up made it up,
19:05
Speaker 2: all right. I want to.
19:06
Speaker 1: Also get to another issue, and I'm going to keep
19:09
Speaker 1: following what we get on this Fauci issue. But there's
19:12
Speaker 1: also another one that's really important, and this is now
19:16
Speaker 1: coming from Politico. American intel officials have been warning of
19:22
Speaker 1: a significant risk of a hes Blah attack within the
19:28
Speaker 1: United States of America. This is our Defense Department head right,
19:35
Speaker 1: was nowhere to be seen when a wall for what
19:37
Speaker 1: three and a half four days. Hes Blah quote has
19:41
Speaker 1: more capability to strike inside the US than other terrorist
19:44
Speaker 1: groups like ISIS.
19:45
Speaker 2: Officials are now confirming and warning.
19:48
Speaker 1: US officials assess that there is a significant rising risk
19:54
Speaker 1: that Lebanese HESBLA militants will strike Americans also in and
19:59
Speaker 1: around the world world, including in the Middle East, and
20:02
Speaker 1: even hit inside the United States of America. That's what
20:06
Speaker 1: four officials familiar with the intelligence have confirmed to Politico.
20:11
Speaker 2: The Iran backed militant group.
20:13
Speaker 1: Would likely target US personnel in the Middle East first,
20:16
Speaker 1: the officials stated, and US intelligence agencies are gathering data
20:22
Speaker 1: on HESBLAW that suggests it could be considering an attack
20:25
Speaker 1: or multiple attacks on both US troops or diplomatic personnel.
20:29
Speaker 2: Overseas.
20:31
Speaker 1: This would be coordinated attacks that would happen, and there
20:34
Speaker 1: would be several of them.
20:37
Speaker 2: Then let's move on to this.
20:39
Speaker 1: The chances for an assault on US soil, they say,
20:43
Speaker 1: is also growing as tensions in the region continue to escalate.
20:47
Speaker 1: Hez Blow could draw on the capabilities they have to
20:51
Speaker 1: put people in place to do something, one of the
20:53
Speaker 1: officials confirmed, referring to a potential attack on the United States.
20:58
Speaker 2: It is something to be worried about.
21:01
Speaker 1: The official, like others in this story, was great and
21:04
Speaker 1: aminity to talk freely about sensitive intelligence. Officials declined to
21:09
Speaker 1: detail the specific kinds of attacks has Block could take,
21:13
Speaker 1: but said that the Iranian back group has capabilities that
21:17
Speaker 1: other terrorist groups in the region do not have. Individuals
21:21
Speaker 1: inspired by the Islamic State or Al Qaida, but who
21:24
Speaker 1: are not directly connected to the membership of those terrorist
21:27
Speaker 1: groups have carried out long wolf attacks in the US
21:29
Speaker 1: and Europe, officials have obviously said and confirmed, but Hesbelah
21:34
Speaker 1: has an expansive international network their words, that would allow
21:39
Speaker 1: the group to use its operatives to carry out an
21:41
Speaker 1: attack in the United States of America.
21:43
Speaker 2: Now, let's just think about this.
21:45
Speaker 1: If you're Hezblah, and you do want to have an
21:47
Speaker 1: attack or multiple attacks in the United States of America,
21:50
Speaker 1: how would you get the people into this country? This
21:53
Speaker 1: is not a trick question. I'm going to go first
21:54
Speaker 1: to my producer, Diaz Dias. Let's see how smart you are.
21:58
Speaker 1: If you are Hezbola, how do you think you would
22:00
Speaker 1: get your HEAs blow fighters into America undetected? Oh wait,
22:03
Speaker 1: he figured it out across the wide open southern border
22:07
Speaker 1: where forty or fifty thousand are coming across every weekend
22:10
Speaker 1: and eighty plus percent of them are then being released
22:13
Speaker 1: after they are caught. Now, remember, if you're a hesbela
22:16
Speaker 1: terrorist and you're on a terrorist watch list, or you
22:19
Speaker 1: may think that you're on a terrorist watch list, you're
22:22
Speaker 1: probably going to be able to get in this country
22:24
Speaker 1: undetected and then go into the.
22:26
Speaker 2: Category of a gotaway.
22:27
Speaker 1: How do we know that's a thing because we had
22:29
Speaker 1: more people caught last year that were on the terrorist
22:32
Speaker 1: watch list coming to this country than the last five
22:35
Speaker 1: years before that combined.
22:37
Speaker 2: That is a fact from our United States government.
22:40
Speaker 1: So is there a possibility that hes Blaw in fact
22:43
Speaker 1: already has the attackers in the United States of America?
22:46
Speaker 1: Who are already planning and dry running their attacks in America. Absolutely,
22:51
Speaker 1: there's that real possibility. Officials declined to detail these specific
22:56
Speaker 1: kinds of attacks, of course, but they did say that
23:00
Speaker 1: the Iranian back group has significant capabilities that other terrorist
23:04
Speaker 1: groups just don't have.
23:06
Speaker 2: Okay, so they've got real training.
23:11
Speaker 1: They want to attack Americans around the world, They want
23:14
Speaker 1: to attack American military targets around the world, and they
23:17
Speaker 1: also want to attack in America at the same time.
23:20
Speaker 1: So either one of these scenarios and attack domestically or
23:24
Speaker 1: on troops or diplomats overseas would be horrific in a
23:29
Speaker 1: horrific loss of human life. Right. It would also deal
23:32
Speaker 1: a major blow to the Biden administration, which has worked
23:35
Speaker 1: to prevent the Israel Hamas conflict from brought into a
23:38
Speaker 1: wider regional war and to keep American forces out of
23:43
Speaker 1: that war. Now, I have no doubt, and this is
23:45
Speaker 1: where you have to understand the politics behind this, Okay.
23:48
Speaker 1: Hamas wants to draw America into a conflict in the
23:52
Speaker 1: Middle East because they want there to be chaos in
23:54
Speaker 1: the Middle East so that the people that are in
23:57
Speaker 1: charge that are more sane and lose control. They are
24:02
Speaker 1: trying to draw America into a war in the Middle East.
24:05
Speaker 1: It's good for terrorists when Americans are in the Middle East.
24:08
Speaker 1: It allows them to recruit. It also allows them to
24:11
Speaker 1: raise money. It allows them to fight the infidels and
24:14
Speaker 1: to take casualties and to claim that they are somehow
24:19
Speaker 1: winning a holy war that they believe truly is a
24:21
Speaker 1: holy war. They don't want America to leave, They want
24:24
Speaker 1: America to come back, and they want to fight against
24:26
Speaker 1: the Americans. You need to understand that this is something
24:29
Speaker 1: that hes Blah would love. Hes blond Hamas have been
24:31
Speaker 1: getting countless dollars billions and aid in training from Iran
24:36
Speaker 1: for quite some time so and this is how Iran
24:40
Speaker 1: destabilizes the region, which helps oil prices go up, which
24:44
Speaker 1: allows them to make a lot more money. You got
24:46
Speaker 1: to remember that when we went into Afghanistan into Iraq,
24:48
Speaker 1: Iran made a lot more money. Why because terrorist groups
24:52
Speaker 1: were needing their land to come in and out of
24:54
Speaker 1: ver safe haven in for training and they allow them
24:56
Speaker 1: to do that. They also then were able to sell
24:58
Speaker 1: weaponry to the people that had money that were coming
25:00
Speaker 1: in from terrorst sympathizers that made the money and most
25:03
Speaker 1: importantly they made a crap ton of money because the
25:05
Speaker 1: price of oil skyrockets when there is instability in the region,
25:09
Speaker 1: which means they go from making just you know, tens
25:12
Speaker 1: of billions to hundreds of billions of dollars. You have
25:15
Speaker 1: to understand, American, a war in the Middle East is
25:17
Speaker 1: always good for Iran. Now, if they were able to
25:23
Speaker 1: pull one of these things off, it would draw Washington
25:26
Speaker 1: back into the Middle East at a time when the
25:29
Speaker 1: Biden administration is trying to focus its national security resources
25:32
Speaker 1: on countering This is their words, not mine.
25:34
Speaker 2: China and Russia. Okay. The National Security.
25:38
Speaker 1: Council, the FBI, and the National counter Terrorism Center declined
25:41
Speaker 1: to comment about this leak to Politico, but senior Biden
25:45
Speaker 1: administration officials have said publicly that after the October seventh
25:50
Speaker 1: attack on Israel at the hands of the Terrorists Organization,
25:54
Speaker 1: that they believed that Tehran and its proxies were not
25:58
Speaker 1: seeking a wider a wider regional war or a confrontation
26:02
Speaker 1: with the US. That thinking is Middle aged thinking and stupid.
26:07
Speaker 1: Of course they want it. How do we know this?
26:10
Speaker 1: Look at what has happened in the Middle East where
26:12
Speaker 1: our troops are US troops in the Middle East have
26:15
Speaker 1: been under attack virtually almost every day since October the seventh.
26:19
Speaker 1: We're talking about dozens and dozens and dozens of attacks.
26:22
Speaker 1: They've been attacked by multiple Iranian proxy groups, including Iraqi
26:28
Speaker 1: parliamentary groups as well these militias. These groups have launched
26:33
Speaker 1: now more than one hundred and thirty attacks on American
26:37
Speaker 1: forces directly on American forces directly in Iraq and Syria
26:42
Speaker 1: since October the seventeenth alone. The US has hit back
26:46
Speaker 1: multiple times, including a January the fourth drone strike in
26:49
Speaker 1: Baghdad that killed a senior militia member. Now it's unclear
26:55
Speaker 1: the extent to which hes BLAW regularly coordinates with these
26:57
Speaker 1: other groups, the top intelligence officials in Washington have determined
27:03
Speaker 1: that it has the same aims of disrupting the American
27:07
Speaker 1: military's operation and position in the region, and seeks opportunities
27:13
Speaker 1: to strike US troops wherever they can. Lebanese Hesblah, for example,
27:19
Speaker 1: has so far avoided major attacks on Israel or US
27:23
Speaker 1: troops since the most recent conflict kicked off. The group, however,
27:26
Speaker 1: does have a history of targeting Americans and US interest overseas,
27:30
Speaker 1: and it may be that they're just getting ready for
27:32
Speaker 1: a bigger attack slash war. Now, let me also remind
27:37
Speaker 1: you of this, Politico said back in twenty eleven. In
27:41
Speaker 1: twenty twelve, there were two US based operatives that allegedly
27:47
Speaker 1: surveiled American Israeli targets in Panama as well as in
27:51
Speaker 1: New York City, and the Islamic Jihad Organization, which later
27:55
Speaker 1: became part of Hesblah, attacked the US Embassy in Beirut
27:58
Speaker 1: in nineteen eighty three, killing sixty three people. The State
28:02
Speaker 1: Department has increased security at the embassy in recent weeks
28:06
Speaker 1: to hopefully thrown off any attacks on diplomats based in Lebanon.
28:11
Speaker 1: Other officials have now confirmed they say the Lebanon Front
28:14
Speaker 1: is ready to kick off, and these Iranian militia are
28:17
Speaker 1: pounding the US in Eastern Syria.
28:19
Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
28:21
Speaker 1: These Iranian militia groups are pounding the US and Eastern
28:26
Speaker 1: Syria in Iraq. That's what Andrew Tabler, who served as
28:30
Speaker 1: Special envoid Assyria Engagement and the State Department's Bureau of
28:34
Speaker 1: Near Eastern Affairs and the Trump administration, said, saying, quote,
28:38
Speaker 1: it's interesting that this is all going on in the
28:41
Speaker 1: background and people are focusing on the Gaza theater, but
28:44
Speaker 1: the war is actually much larger than that. Hesbalan Israeli
28:49
Speaker 1: forces have also clashed on the Israeli Lebanon border following
28:52
Speaker 1: the October seventh attacks by Hamas militants.
28:55
Speaker 2: In Israel and the latest class.
28:57
Speaker 1: For example, that happened on Monday, hes Blah was attacked
29:02
Speaker 1: by Israel in southern Elebanon, killing one of its top commanders.
29:06
Speaker 2: That's good news.
29:07
Speaker 1: Hes Blah then hit back Tuesday, attacking Israeli army base
29:11
Speaker 1: with explosive drones, and both HESBLA and Israel have said
29:15
Speaker 1: they do not want the conflict to escalate, but have
29:19
Speaker 1: vowed to continue defending themselves should the other side strike.
29:25
Speaker 1: By the way, we had a secretary of Defense that
29:28
Speaker 1: was a wall for three to four days while all
29:32
Speaker 1: this was actually going on. Just thought i'd bring that up.
29:36
Speaker 1: Just thought i'd bring that up. Make sure you share
