Democrats EXPOSED-Paying the Media to Dump On Trump & Conservatives · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: So we've been talking about exposing government ways fraud and abuse.
0:04
Speaker 1: That's what Elon Musk and Dooje is doing. But just
0:07
Speaker 1: how corrupt is our government? Well, they've been giving millions
0:10
Speaker 1: of dollars to media organizations outside of MPR. They clearly
0:16
Speaker 1: have been writing stories to attack conservatives, the MAGA movement,
0:21
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Yesterday, there was an email that went out
0:25
Speaker 1: to Politico's employees, sent sent it to them yesterday, and
0:31
Speaker 1: Politico's management blamed the people at Politico not getting paid
0:36
Speaker 1: yesterday on a glitch. Not there government gravy train stopping
0:40
Speaker 1: the flow of the cash coming in. Now, I want
0:42
Speaker 1: to read for you what the email apparently says. It says,
0:47
Speaker 1: Dear team Gully and I want to address this morning's
0:50
Speaker 1: payroll issues Directly, due to what we believe was a
0:53
Speaker 1: technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled.
0:56
Speaker 1: We understand the urgency of this matter and sincerely apologize
0:59
Speaker 1: for the inconvenience. Yeah, not getting paid, Yeah, it's an inconvenience,
1:04
Speaker 1: that's for sure. Our team is working diligently with our
1:07
Speaker 1: systems of vendors and the bank to identify the cause
1:11
Speaker 1: and implement a solution as quickly as possible. We will
1:15
Speaker 1: keep you updated as we learn more and work to
1:17
Speaker 1: resolve the problem as quick as possible. Thank you for
1:20
Speaker 1: your patience and understanding. If you have any immediate concerns,
1:23
Speaker 1: please please feel free to reach out directly. Now, that's
1:27
Speaker 1: what they said. Whether this is because the gravy train
1:30
Speaker 1: has been turned off or not, I don't know. But
1:34
Speaker 1: here's what I do know. Politico, which is a quote
1:39
Speaker 1: legitimate news company quote unquote, a news company. They're not
1:42
Speaker 1: a nonprofit, They're no INNGO, they're not a government agency
1:46
Speaker 1: which has spent the last decade destroying Donald Trump, the
1:50
Speaker 1: MAGA movement, anybody associated with him, just trying to, you know,
1:53
Speaker 1: help lock up people and saying that the insurrections around
1:56
Speaker 1: you know, January sixth, are the worst people in the world, right,
1:59
Speaker 1: Like all those types of stories. We now have found
2:02
Speaker 1: out that they have been massively subsidized funded by USAID.
2:11
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Elon Musk said, we're stopping that funding.
2:16
Speaker 1: The question now is will Politico go out of business
2:19
Speaker 1: because of the amount of money we've been giving them.
2:23
Speaker 1: Now the total award amount that we're talking about here,
2:28
Speaker 1: and you look at twenty twenty four. If I'm reading
2:31
Speaker 1: this correctly, on the US spending dot Gov, there has
2:35
Speaker 1: been a total of at least eight point two million
2:38
Speaker 1: dollars of your tax dollars going to Politico in the
2:42
Speaker 1: form of two hundred and thirty seven transactions. Now below that,
2:46
Speaker 1: there's another category. If you go to US spending dot gov,
2:50
Speaker 1: face value of loans zero dollars from zero transactions. So
2:54
Speaker 1: these are not loans. This is just straight up money
3:00
Speaker 1: that is going to subsidize Politico. Eight point two million
3:05
Speaker 1: dollars of your tax dours that went to them. I
3:10
Speaker 1: think we can all agree that your tax dours should
3:14
Speaker 1: not be going to Politico. Now, let's go back to
3:17
Speaker 1: one of the core headlines in Politico that you need
3:19
Speaker 1: to know about to put it in perspective what you've
3:21
Speaker 1: been paying for, like the journalism you've been subsidizing. The
3:26
Speaker 1: federal money started pouring into Politico, and it actually increased
3:33
Speaker 1: exponentially after they successfully laundered the deep state CIA election
3:41
Speaker 1: rigging propaganda against Donald Trump. The headline that I want
3:46
Speaker 1: to bring up to prove this is their national security
3:49
Speaker 1: headline that Politico ran. This is what they said. Okay,
3:54
Speaker 1: and again the amount of the federal funds that began
3:58
Speaker 1: pouring into Politico in increase exponentially after this story. You
4:04
Speaker 1: ready for it, Hunter Biden's story is Russian disinfo. Dozens
4:10
Speaker 1: of former intel officials say this is under national security.
4:14
Speaker 1: Politico then their byline below that reads this way, more
4:19
Speaker 1: than fifty former intelligence officials signed a letter casting doubt
4:25
Speaker 1: on this New York Post story on the former vice
4:30
Speaker 1: president's son, paraphrasing, So you got Politico that writes a
4:37
Speaker 1: article that is a lie, and it's a lie that
4:41
Speaker 1: they were willing to sell on behalf of the Democratic
4:43
Speaker 1: Party and the fifty former intelligence visuals who, by the way,
4:47
Speaker 1: I've lost their security clearance and we know they lied
4:49
Speaker 1: to us, and they were willing to tell you the
4:51
Speaker 1: Hunter Biden story was Russian disinfo and it wasn't real.
4:55
Speaker 1: And then after they write that article, the federal government
4:59
Speaker 1: through USAI is like, oh, hey, political we'd love to
5:01
Speaker 1: send you a bunch of money, like millions of dollars.
5:03
Speaker 1: You guys are doing great work. We want to keep
5:05
Speaker 1: the money flowing in. This is maybe the biggest scandal
5:11
Speaker 1: about the corrupt media that I've ever seen. The only
5:15
Speaker 1: thing worse in political interference is government taxpayer funded election interference.
5:21
Speaker 1: That is what was paid for. To Politico, it was
5:25
Speaker 1: government taxpayer funded election interference. There was a real story,
5:29
Speaker 1: the new was real story. Politico wrote a storytelling you
5:32
Speaker 1: it's not real. It's Russian dis info. Fifty intelligence officers.
5:35
Speaker 1: They didn't do They just they just went with it.
5:37
Speaker 1: You know, governments saying this is what we need you
5:39
Speaker 1: to write. They're like, we got it, We'll do it.
5:41
Speaker 1: And then the government said, here's your payoff eight point
5:44
Speaker 1: two million dollars. Politico then spent years after that attacking
5:51
Speaker 1: conservatives the MAGA movement, and the money kept going up.
5:55
Speaker 1: So the more they attacked conservatives and the mag movement,
6:00
Speaker 1: the more money they were given from the government. There's
6:06
Speaker 1: also something else that was interesting. Politico apparently received and
6:10
Speaker 1: a lot of this is coming for the website, so
6:12
Speaker 1: I'm just giving it to you. They received eight hundred
6:16
Speaker 1: and sixty two thousand dollars in change from the National
6:20
Speaker 1: Park Service in a no compete subscription contract over four years.
6:25
Speaker 1: You want to know why Democrats are so anxious overdoge
6:29
Speaker 1: because they were buying the press to attack US President
6:35
Speaker 1: Trump back to what he was saying about government waste
6:39
Speaker 1: and abuse and fraud. He's got something to say now
6:42
Speaker 1: about what they're doing with a big project that hasn't happened,
6:47
Speaker 1: the high speed rail project in California. Now, I want
6:51
Speaker 1: to play it for you in just a second, but
6:52
Speaker 1: first we want to tell you about our friends over
6:54
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. While we may have won the election,
6:57
Speaker 1: the fight to restore a great nation is only beginning,
7:00
Speaker 1: and now is the time for you to take a
7:01
Speaker 1: stand with your dollars. And Patriot Mobile is leading the
7:06
Speaker 1: charge with conservative companies that are fighting back. They are
7:09
Speaker 1: America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. I use them, I
7:14
Speaker 1: know hundreds of others that use them personally, family friends,
7:18
Speaker 1: business owners that I know have switched to Patriot Mobile
7:20
Speaker 1: because they offer a way to vote with your wallet
7:24
Speaker 1: without compromising on quality or convenience. You may not know,
7:27
Speaker 1: but Big Mobile gives big donations to democratic causes, candidates
7:32
Speaker 1: and organizations, radical organizations, including those that advocate, support and
7:37
Speaker 1: pay for abortions. That is why I made the switch
7:40
Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile. Because Patriot Mobile isn't just about providing
7:44
Speaker 1: exceptional cell phone service. It's a call to action to
7:48
Speaker 1: defend our rights and freedoms. With Patriot Mobile, every time
7:51
Speaker 1: you pay your bill, you are giving back to causes
7:54
Speaker 1: that sent up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
7:57
Speaker 1: the sanctity of life, as well as standing with our veterans,
8:00
Speaker 1: our wounded warriors, and our first responders. Now, switching is easy.
8:04
Speaker 1: Keep your same number, keep your same phone you have,
8:06
Speaker 1: or upgrade to a new one. They have a one
8:08
Speaker 1: hundred percent US based customer service team that will help
8:11
Speaker 1: you find the perfect plan. So right now, go to
8:14
Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or call them nine to
8:20
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot You're going to get a free
8:22
Speaker 1: month of service with the promo code ferguson. So switch
8:25
Speaker 1: to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with every call
8:28
Speaker 1: you make Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine
8:32
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot. President Trump back to what he
8:35
Speaker 1: was saying about government waste and abuse and fraud. The
8:39
Speaker 1: President saying this and the Oval Office.
8:41
Speaker 2: One of the things I want to investigate rapidly because
8:45
Speaker 2: I've never seen anything to this extent. The trend that's
8:49
Speaker 2: being built between Los Angeles and San Francisco is the
8:53
Speaker 2: worst managed project I think I've ever seen, and I've
8:57
Speaker 2: seen some of the worst. Billions and billion. It's hundreds
9:00
Speaker 2: of billions of dollars over budget. In fact, I read
9:04
Speaker 2: where you could take every single person that was going
9:06
Speaker 2: to go on the train and get the finest limousine
9:09
Speaker 2: service in the world and take them back and forth
9:12
Speaker 2: with limousines, and you'd have hundreds of millions of dollars
9:15
Speaker 2: left over. It is the worst thing, And we're going
9:17
Speaker 2: to start an investigation of that, because it's not possible.
9:21
Speaker 2: I built for a living, and I built on time,
9:23
Speaker 2: on budget. It's impossible that something could cost that much.
9:28
Speaker 2: And now it's not even going to San Francisco, and
9:31
Speaker 2: it's not going to Los Angeles. It's they made it
9:33
Speaker 2: much shorter, so now it's at little places way away
9:37
Speaker 2: from San Francisco and way away from Los Angeles. No,
9:42
Speaker 2: we're going to start a big investigation on that because
9:45
Speaker 2: it's I've never seen anything like it. Nobody has ever
9:48
Speaker 2: seen anything like it. The worst overruns that there have
9:52
Speaker 2: ever been in the history of our country.
9:55
Speaker 1: The worst overruns we've ever seen in our country. Now,
9:58
Speaker 1: he's right, this, this is insane. I built for a living,
10:02
Speaker 1: he said, I built on time on budget, It's impossible
10:05
Speaker 1: that something could cost us much. So how much corruption
10:08
Speaker 1: is there? And the headlines in California are very clear.
10:13
Speaker 1: Despite some progress, the state's high speed rail is one
10:15
Speaker 1: hundred billion short and many years from reality. Okay, So
10:23
Speaker 1: if that is the case, what happened to the money?
10:27
Speaker 1: Where did it go? Donald Trump making it clear that
10:32
Speaker 1: this is a problem because our tax dollars continue to
10:36
Speaker 1: go to waste, fraud, and abuse. You'll look at all
10:43
Speaker 1: of the money that we're finding out where it's going,
10:47
Speaker 1: and I think what we're going to find out is
10:49
Speaker 1: even more corruption. We also have been told that there
10:53
Speaker 1: may even be movie stars that were paid by us
10:56
Speaker 1: AID to go around the world, movie stars like big money.
11:03
Speaker 1: That is some of it's coming out right now, Like
11:06
Speaker 1: this is some of the corruption. And you go back
11:08
Speaker 1: to Politico for example, and the corruption with media and
11:12
Speaker 1: the AP getting money from USAID's subsidizing their attacks on conservatives.
11:18
Speaker 1: White House Press Secretary was asked about that today.
11:20
Speaker 3: So upon coming out here to the briefing room, I
11:23
Speaker 3: was made aware of the funding from USAID to media outlets,
11:29
Speaker 3: including Politico, who I know has a seat in this room,
11:32
Speaker 3: and I can confirm that the more than eight million
11:35
Speaker 3: taxpayer dollars that have gone to essentially subsidizing subscriptions to Politico,
11:40
Speaker 3: the American taxpayer's dying will no longer be happening. The
11:43
Speaker 3: Doge team is working on canceling those payments. Now again,
11:46
Speaker 3: this is a whole of government effort to ensure that
11:50
Speaker 3: we are going line by line when it comes to
11:53
Speaker 3: the federal of government's books, and this president and his
11:56
Speaker 3: team are are making decisions across the board on do
12:00
Speaker 3: these receipts serve the interests of the American people. Is
12:04
Speaker 3: this a good use of the American taxpayer's money. If
12:07
Speaker 3: it is not, that funding will no longer be sent
12:10
Speaker 3: abroad and American taxpayers will see significant savings because of
12:13
Speaker 3: that effort.
12:14
Speaker 1: One of the things in a word that she just
12:16
Speaker 1: used there, but one of the things you noticed here
12:18
Speaker 1: she said eight million dollars on subscriptions to Politico online logins,
12:26
Speaker 1: that is subsidizing the media. Like there's no way that
12:29
Speaker 1: this isn't just pure corruption. And if you're if eight
12:33
Speaker 1: million dollars is what you're on the take from the
12:36
Speaker 1: federal government to then trash the opponent of the people
12:40
Speaker 1: that are in charge. They're giving this money. That is
12:43
Speaker 1: pay to pay propaganda. This is state sponsored propaganda. It's
12:49
Speaker 1: what I've been telling you has been happening with the
12:51
Speaker 1: media for a long time. This is state sponsored propaganda.
12:56
Speaker 1: We're also being told that The New York Times is
12:59
Speaker 1: being government funded as well. The US government gave the
13:03
Speaker 1: New York Times tens of millions of dollars just over
13:06
Speaker 1: the past five years, despite paying relatively little money to
13:10
Speaker 1: The New York Times in the past years preceding twenty
13:12
Speaker 1: twenty one. What happened. They started going after Donald Trump
13:18
Speaker 1: and anyone around them that they said take them out.
13:21
Speaker 1: Like again, this is state sponsored is it? I'm not
13:26
Speaker 1: even sure it's state sponsored media. It's a hit list.
13:29
Speaker 1: We're gonna pay you to take down and tear down
13:32
Speaker 1: the other side. Like that's a hit list. It's like
13:35
Speaker 1: assassinations on a conservative party. We want you to get
13:40
Speaker 1: rid of these people from the norm We want you
13:44
Speaker 1: to turn them into racist, bigots and homophobes. Right, Well,
13:47
Speaker 1: that's what the government's been doing, that's what they've been
13:49
Speaker 1: paying for. So let's talk about New York Times. Apparently
13:52
Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars over the past five years.
13:56
Speaker 1: In August twenty twenty four, the US government awarded another
14:00
Speaker 1: There are four point one million dollars to The New
14:02
Speaker 1: York Times. The bulk of the funds came from the
14:05
Speaker 1: US Department of Health and Human Services at twenty six
14:09
Speaker 1: point nine million, followed by the National Science Foundation at
14:13
Speaker 1: nineteen point one million dollars. These payments that we're finding
14:19
Speaker 1: out that went to The New York Times are just
14:22
Speaker 1: paid a play. Let me give you another example. National
14:26
Speaker 1: Aeronautics and Space Administration is paid three point eight two million.
14:30
Speaker 1: I wonder how many negative articles The New York Times
14:33
Speaker 1: has written or positive articles they've written about any space
14:37
Speaker 1: program that liberals wanted. The Department of Commerce, I think
14:41
Speaker 1: they've got any bad articles written about them for The
14:43
Speaker 1: New York Times. No, because they paid them two and
14:45
Speaker 1: a half million dollars of your money in twenty I
14:49
Speaker 1: mean this is twenty twenty four. DoD paid two point
14:53
Speaker 1: three four million to The New York Times, the Department
14:56
Speaker 1: of Treasury half a million, the SEC for three hundred
15:00
Speaker 1: and forty four thousand, the DOJ more than a quarter million,
15:05
Speaker 1: State Department more than two hundred thousand, and the Department
15:08
Speaker 1: of Veterans Affairs one hundred and seventy seven thousand. I
15:10
Speaker 1: wonder how many stories got killed that would have made
15:13
Speaker 1: the Department of Veterans Affairs look bad. This is the
15:16
Speaker 1: government saying, we're gonna prop you up as long as
15:20
Speaker 1: you write the stories we need you to write. We
15:22
Speaker 1: need you to write pro Ukraine stories. We need you
15:25
Speaker 1: to write anti Trump stories, we need you to write
15:28
Speaker 1: anti elon Musk propaganda. Now it all makes a lot
15:31
Speaker 1: of sense, right, because we have an unlimited amount of
15:33
Speaker 1: money to throw around. That's what the government was saying
15:36
Speaker 1: to the New York Times, Politico, the Associated Press, and
15:40
Speaker 1: the timeline clearly also lines up when the war in
15:43
Speaker 1: Ukraine began. So the US government said, hey, we want
15:48
Speaker 1: you to sell the propaganda that this war with Ukraine
15:52
Speaker 1: is good for America, for us to stand with them
15:54
Speaker 1: and send them onlimited funds. And all of these organizations
15:59
Speaker 1: started writing the pro Ukraine stories right, and propping up Zolenski,
16:05
Speaker 1: not talking about corruption, not talking about the fraud and
16:08
Speaker 1: abuse of your dollars that are going there. And so
16:12
Speaker 1: we paid, or the government your dollars paid the New
16:15
Speaker 1: York Times to write articles talking about how great Zelensky is,
16:19
Speaker 1: and why your money should go there and why you
16:21
Speaker 1: should stand with them. Let me give you another example
16:24
Speaker 1: of how bad the money is. Zelensky is now claiming
16:28
Speaker 1: that Ukraine received less than half of the US aid
16:34
Speaker 1: that we have sent to the country. So where to go, Well,
16:36
Speaker 1: it went to corrupt oligarchs and people around Zelensky, I
16:39
Speaker 1: have no doubt about that. He's claiming he doesn't know
16:42
Speaker 1: where all the money went. The Ukrainian president has said
16:46
Speaker 1: that his country has only received seventy eight billion in
16:50
Speaker 1: aid from the United States, despite America authorizing one hundred
16:55
Speaker 1: and seventy five billion to support the war torn countries.
17:00
Speaker 1: To be clear, Zolensky saying, you guys send US one
17:03
Speaker 1: hundred billion dollars and we don't know where it went.
17:06
Speaker 1: In this interview with the Associated Press, which is sponsored
17:10
Speaker 1: by our government state sponsored propaganda, we've been paying the
17:14
Speaker 1: Associated Press millions of dollars. They published this interview over
17:18
Speaker 1: the weekend, Zelensky says he doesn't know where most of
17:21
Speaker 1: the money the United States allocated under the Biden administration
17:24
Speaker 1: to Ukraine has gone. When I hear both in the
17:27
Speaker 1: past and even now from the US that America has
17:30
Speaker 1: provided Ukraine with hundreds of billions as the president of
17:33
Speaker 1: a nation at war, Zelensky said, I can tell you
17:37
Speaker 1: we actually received only about seventy five billion. He said.
17:40
Speaker 1: We're talking about tangible things because this a didn't come
17:43
Speaker 1: as cash, but rather as weapons, which amount to about
17:46
Speaker 1: seventy billions. So we're missing one hundred billion. But when
17:49
Speaker 1: it's said that Ukraine received two hundred billions, Zelensky says
17:52
Speaker 1: to support the army during the war, that's not true.
17:55
Speaker 1: I don't know where all that money went. Zelensky admitted.
18:00
Speaker 1: Perhaps it's true on paper, with hundreds of different programs.
18:04
Speaker 1: Lelensky said, I won't argue. So he's admitting one hundred
18:08
Speaker 1: billion just disappeared, and we're immensely grateful for everything. But
18:13
Speaker 1: in reality, we just received seventy eight excuse me, seventy
18:17
Speaker 1: six billion, not two hundred billion and eight. The Ukrainian
18:22
Speaker 1: leader suggested that perhaps the additional funds went to quote
18:25
Speaker 1: humanitarian programs. That's the easiest way to funnel money to
18:28
Speaker 1: his rich oligarch friends, many of them that are in
18:32
Speaker 1: warsaw hanging out in five star hotels. Many of the
18:34
Speaker 1: richest in Ukraine and the government and the oligarchs in
18:37
Speaker 1: Ukraine don't live in Ukraine right now. Their families are
18:40
Speaker 1: in Warsaw, in five star hotels and villas. How are
18:44
Speaker 1: they paying for it? Follow the humanitarian programs is what
18:47
Speaker 1: I would say. He says he was informed about except
18:51
Speaker 1: for knowing of their existence, but he doesn't know how
18:53
Speaker 1: much money went into those programs. And then Zelensky said this,
18:58
Speaker 1: Perhaps the US presidents administration will audit these programs and
19:02
Speaker 1: find additional billions. But I don't know where those funds went.
19:07
Speaker 1: I have one question. I wonder how much of that
19:10
Speaker 1: money may have gone back to the Biden crime family.
19:13
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just asking for a bunch of
19:16
Speaker 1: taxpayers in this country. You remember that company named Meta,
19:20
Speaker 1: You know the company that owns Facebook. You know the
19:23
Speaker 1: company that had no problem suspending the account of the
19:26
Speaker 1: sitting president of United States of America back in twenty
19:29
Speaker 1: twenty one, guy by the name of Donald Trump after
19:33
Speaker 1: the insurrection at the Capitol. Of course, remember when that happened. Well,
19:38
Speaker 1: there was a lawsuit around it. We now know who
19:41
Speaker 1: is right and who was wrong. Metta is now agreeing
19:43
Speaker 1: to pay millions to settle that Trump lawsuit over his
19:47
Speaker 1: suspended accounts. So NBC News breaking the big news earlier
19:51
Speaker 1: tonight that Meta has now agreed to pay Donald Trump
19:55
Speaker 1: take a listen in.
19:56
Speaker 4: Trump, We've learned has signed an agreement with Meta to
20:00
Speaker 4: settle a lawsuit that he filed against the company for
20:02
Speaker 4: suspending his account after the attack on the Capitol on
20:05
Speaker 4: January sixth, four years ago. The settlement we understand to
20:08
Speaker 4: be twenty five million dollars, most of which is going
20:12
Speaker 4: towards his future presidential library.
20:15
Speaker 1: This story first was reported.
20:16
Speaker 4: By the Wall Street Journal. Meta says it has no
20:18
Speaker 4: comment on that, but says they can confirm that twenty
20:20
Speaker 4: two million dollar number to the Trump Library. Garrett Hayk
20:23
Speaker 4: is at the White House. Garrett, this is so interesting
20:26
Speaker 4: for a lot of reasons here, and I know you've
20:28
Speaker 4: just confirmed this with some with some of your sources here.
20:31
Speaker 1: It's our understanding.
20:32
Speaker 4: I think that President Trump like signed this settlement that
20:35
Speaker 4: has to do with Meta and the attack on the
20:37
Speaker 4: Capitol sitting in the Oval office today.
20:40
Speaker 5: Well, it looks like a lot of this was discussed, apparently,
20:42
Speaker 5: according to Wall Street Journal sources, a detail that I've
20:45
Speaker 5: yet to confirm. But hope to nail down shortly during
20:48
Speaker 5: the time that he was being sentenced during the transition
20:52
Speaker 5: on the New York City hush money case. So yeah, look,
20:54
Speaker 5: the top line number here is extraordinary, twenty five million dollars.
20:57
Speaker 5: Most of that money going to this that, as best
21:00
Speaker 5: I can tell, doesn't actually exist yet for a future
21:03
Speaker 5: Trump presidential library. You'll remember that that's what happened with
21:06
Speaker 5: the defamation settlement that the President won against ABC and
21:10
Speaker 5: ABC News. Sort of the start of funding this library
21:13
Speaker 5: tends to be coming from these lawsuits at the president.
21:17
Speaker 1: By the way, can we just pause and just celebrate
21:19
Speaker 1: the fact that the Trump Presidential Library is in essence
21:24
Speaker 1: going to be built by the media that lied to him,
21:27
Speaker 1: lied about him, slandered him, and threw these lawsuits where
21:32
Speaker 1: he's like, all right, we'll see in court. I mean,
21:34
Speaker 1: you could say that this library is going to have
21:36
Speaker 1: a what is it, a ABC wing, a Meta Facebook wing,
21:42
Speaker 1: and there's others out there, by the way, but this
21:45
Speaker 1: is a lot of money. Twenty two million going to
21:47
Speaker 1: fund the Trump Presidential Library, and the balance dedicated legal
21:52
Speaker 1: fees and other plaintiffs in the case. Now, Meta didn't
21:57
Speaker 1: have to admit wrongdoing. I don't care if they admit
22:01
Speaker 1: wrongdoing or not. We know why META is paying this
22:05
Speaker 1: money because they absolutely did something that was wrong. And
22:11
Speaker 1: the CEO is now saying, all right, well, you're in charge,
22:14
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna hang out with you and come to
22:16
Speaker 1: the inauguration and sit in the prime seat for the
22:19
Speaker 1: swearing in, and then I'm gonna give you twenty five
22:21
Speaker 1: million or twenty two million for your library. That's what
22:26
Speaker 1: we're doing here. This is, by the way, how you
22:28
Speaker 1: beat them. Donald Trump is going all in to hold
22:32
Speaker 1: them accountable. He's not holding back. He's doing the same
22:35
Speaker 1: thing with the government right now. He's doing the same
22:38
Speaker 1: thing to make sure that people are held accountable for
22:44
Speaker 1: the corruption in our government. When you're sending money by
22:48
Speaker 1: the tens of millions to the media, so they write
22:51
Speaker 1: stories about the left wing of the Democratic Party and
22:56
Speaker 1: they attack their political opponents. This is what happens in Russia,
22:59
Speaker 1: in Cuba and China. It should never happen in America.
23:04
Speaker 1: Donald Trump getting rid of government waste, fraud, and abuse
23:07
Speaker 1: through USA and other programs. We're now also hearing more
23:11
Speaker 1: about the White House's plan for the US involvement in
23:14
Speaker 1: the rebuilding efforts in Gaza. By the way, there's a
23:20
Speaker 1: lot of people asking about, well, should we be doing it?
23:23
Speaker 1: How much is it going to cost? Is that where
23:26
Speaker 1: we want our money to be spent? The White House
23:30
Speaker 1: saying the US involvement in rebuilding efforts does not mean
23:35
Speaker 1: commitment of troops or taxpayer dollars in Gaza. They clarified
23:40
Speaker 1: that earlier. The White House made it clear that the
23:42
Speaker 1: US involvement in rebuilding Gaza does not mean a commitment
23:46
Speaker 1: to send any troops there or using any of your
23:49
Speaker 1: tax dollars for the effort. The White House pressing or
23:52
Speaker 1: Terry Carolina Levitt filled it a question from NBC News's
23:56
Speaker 1: senior White House correspondent early in the briefing, after Donald
23:59
Speaker 1: Trump said Tuesday that the United States would take over
24:02
Speaker 1: the Gaza Strip. Trump also said his vision included moving
24:05
Speaker 1: gazins to nearby Arab nations, which Levitt said Wednesday would
24:09
Speaker 1: be quote unquote temporary. They also said that Trump's vision
24:13
Speaker 1: could intail boots on the ground in nation building. That
24:17
Speaker 1: is how NBC News frame the question. What did Caroline
24:21
Speaker 1: san response quote, I would reject the premise of your
24:23
Speaker 1: question that this forces the United States to be entangled
24:26
Speaker 1: in conflicts abroad. The President has not committed to putting
24:31
Speaker 1: boots on the ground in Gaza. He has also said
24:34
Speaker 1: that the United States is not going to pay for
24:37
Speaker 1: rebuilding of Gaza. She had that the administration would work
24:40
Speaker 1: with the Middle East allies to reconstruct this region. Levitt
24:44
Speaker 1: also emphasized that while it may be an out of
24:47
Speaker 1: the box idea, the American people like to Trump because
24:50
Speaker 1: he thinks outside the box. Quote and let me just
24:53
Speaker 1: take a step back here, because this is an out
24:56
Speaker 1: of the box idea. That's who President Trump is. The
25:00
Speaker 1: American people elected him, and his goal is lasting peace
25:03
Speaker 1: in the Middle East for all people in the region.
25:06
Speaker 1: She added that the American involvement means the President will
25:09
Speaker 1: use his deal making prowess to strike a deal with
25:12
Speaker 1: our partners in the region. Responding to a follow up question,
25:15
Speaker 1: she also knows that the President has spoken to leaders
25:18
Speaker 1: in the region about his expectations that particularly Egypt and
25:22
Speaker 1: Jordan will accept Palestinian refugees temporarily so they can rebuild
25:25
Speaker 1: their homes. Trump has been mulling over the plan for
25:28
Speaker 1: a while. She went on to say, including sin seeing
25:31
Speaker 1: images of the well pure rubble that is Gaza right now,
25:36
Speaker 1: from Special Envoy to the Middle East and the visit
25:40
Speaker 1: to the region last month. According to White House Press Secretary,
25:43
Speaker 1: so the media wanted you to think this was going
25:46
Speaker 1: to be nation building, that we were going to like
25:47
Speaker 1: own this, that we are going to be seeing troops,
25:49
Speaker 1: that we're going to be paying your tax dollars to
25:53
Speaker 1: actually do all this. The clear report now is that
25:57
Speaker 1: is not the case, and the media is in fact
26:00
Speaker 1: lying to you. Now. There's also something else that came
26:04
Speaker 1: out of this. Fun came out centern on meeting with
26:09
Speaker 1: Netnahu's saying the Democrats' anti israel behavior will not deter
26:12
Speaker 1: the US from supporting Israel. That was the message coming
26:16
Speaker 1: from the Senate majority leader. And he will meet with
26:20
Speaker 1: the Israeli Prime Minister tomorrow at the US Capitol. He said,
26:24
Speaker 1: this meeting, which you hope, is about America and conveying
26:28
Speaker 1: the importance of this US Israel ties and also to
26:32
Speaker 1: deepen the peace talks in the region. Fun in an
26:35
Speaker 1: interview said ahead of the meeting that he will convey
26:37
Speaker 1: that to Netanyahu that despite Democrats in Congress, including particularly
26:42
Speaker 1: in the US Senate, repeatedly finding themselves on the opposite
26:45
Speaker 1: side of Israel, and that the United States is not
26:48
Speaker 1: with them. The United States stands firmly with Israel, and
26:52
Speaker 1: that's why Donald Trump was elected. Democrats, of course, recently
26:56
Speaker 1: voted in the US Senate to take a plan to
26:59
Speaker 1: sanction the Internet National Criminal Court known as the ICC.
27:03
Speaker 1: Israel is the US's greatest ally in the Middle East,
27:06
Speaker 1: and the Democrats this last year have been very divided
27:11
Speaker 1: in supporting Israel throughout the conflict. Is what Thune said
27:14
Speaker 1: to Breitbart News. They seem to find more things like
27:17
Speaker 1: common cause with Hamas and some of these folks in
27:21
Speaker 1: the region that are responsible for the October seventh attack.
27:25
Speaker 1: If you recall this last summer, the last time Prime
27:28
Speaker 1: Minster Netya, who was in the Capitol, there were a
27:31
Speaker 1: lot of Democrats, including the Vice Vice President Harry, who
27:35
Speaker 1: boycotted his appearance. This time, the Prime Minister's visit follows
27:40
Speaker 1: the Democrats vote last week to prop an illegitimate court,
27:45
Speaker 1: the ICC up because Democrats didn't want to defend Israel's
27:49
Speaker 1: sovereignty or American troops who have been targeted by the
27:53
Speaker 1: ICC in the past. So if and when they decide
27:56
Speaker 1: that they want to take real action to protect our
27:58
Speaker 1: allies and prevent future targeting of American citizens. We're here
28:02
Speaker 1: for that, then went on to say, but until then,
28:04
Speaker 1: we're going to continue to do everything we can without
28:08
Speaker 1: Democrats to defend our allies and also our nation. I
28:13
Speaker 1: think tomorrow that will be revisited in the meeting with
28:16
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister. Now, President Trump back in the White
28:20
Speaker 1: House has made it clear that there are a lot
28:22
Speaker 1: of Middle Eastern leaders from across the region that are
28:25
Speaker 1: hopeful there is a pathway to peace. Donald Trump has
28:29
Speaker 1: said he wants there to be peace. Donald Trump, as
28:33
Speaker 1: we saw it in his first term through things like
28:36
Speaker 1: the Abraham Accords. This is an individual that doesn't like war.
28:40
Speaker 1: This is the guy who says, I'm also fighting very
28:42
Speaker 1: hard to end the war between Ukraine and Russia. And
28:45
Speaker 1: so when you look at what the President is actually
28:48
Speaker 1: trying to do, I think it's pretty darn clear. There's
28:51
Speaker 1: also something else that was said in this interview and
28:54
Speaker 1: then put it this way, so quote of course, Abraham Accords,
28:58
Speaker 1: negotiated by President Trump in his first term, we're historic
29:00
Speaker 1: in terms of some of the relationships they built out
29:03
Speaker 1: in the region of the world. I think my focus
29:06
Speaker 1: in this visit is in being a reliable, unwavering partner too,
29:13
Speaker 1: and a friend of Israel, something that they did not
29:16
Speaker 1: have clearly in the last administration. He went on to say,
29:20
Speaker 1: we want to talk about getting all the hostages home
29:22
Speaker 1: and how we support Israel as it works to end
29:25
Speaker 1: once and for all the threats from Hamas Hesblah and
29:29
Speaker 1: the hoodies. He went on to say that Iran and
29:32
Speaker 1: its shadow of terror government in the region is another problem,
29:37
Speaker 1: and we've got to make sure they can't expand we've
29:39
Speaker 1: got to make sure we expand on the historic success
29:41
Speaker 1: of the Abraham Accords to try to create a safer
29:44
Speaker 1: and more prosperous future in that region. So he said,
29:47
Speaker 1: this is what they're going to be talking about now.
29:49
Speaker 1: To be clear, there's a lot of senators on Thursday
29:53
Speaker 1: that are going to be meeting with Netnahu. Many of
29:57
Speaker 1: them are also going to have on that many a
29:59
Speaker 1: few that I know personally are going to be even
30:02
Speaker 1: having one on one meetings with Netanyahu. And this is
30:06
Speaker 1: I think a very big turning point in America's foreign policy.
30:11
Speaker 1: What we're going to see here and what we're witnessing
30:15
Speaker 1: is when you let Israel hang out to dry the
30:17
Speaker 1: way that the last administration did for four years. And
30:20
Speaker 1: then you see what happened on October the seventh, and
30:21
Speaker 1: then you see the Democratic Party still not backing Israel,
30:24
Speaker 1: our most important ally in the region. There is going
30:28
Speaker 1: to have to be something that changes moving forward. There
30:33
Speaker 1: is going to be something that has to change for
30:36
Speaker 1: them to know that, Look a, we trust America again,
30:39
Speaker 1: be we know you stand with us and not against us,
30:41
Speaker 1: which is what the last administration was doing. And so
30:45
Speaker 1: this is I think a clear message of the world
30:48
Speaker 1: from this Trump administration. Do not screw with our ally
30:51
Speaker 1: because we have their back. We are not going to
30:53
Speaker 1: let them be out there by themselves. The last administration
30:56
Speaker 1: did that, We're not. So you mess with Israel, you're
31:00
Speaker 1: messing with America. I think that's part of the messaging
31:02
Speaker 1: we're seeing here, and it's an important one. The second
31:05
Speaker 1: one is we absolutely want there to be peace in the
31:08
Speaker 1: Middle least and we're gonna work for that. We know
31:11
Speaker 1: there's gonna need to be rebuilding and we're gonna help
31:13
Speaker 1: brok those deals. Is Amir gonna pay the whole bill
31:15
Speaker 1: or part of the bill or a large part of
31:16
Speaker 1: the Bill, probably not, but we're willing to sit down
31:19
Speaker 1: and say for others in the region, like you need
31:21
Speaker 1: to step up. This is your next door neighbor, this
31:23
Speaker 1: is your uh, this is an area that you need
31:26
Speaker 1: to be rebuilt. And unfortunately, the terrorists did this to themselves,
31:31
Speaker 1: and many of the people that support the terrorists did
31:33
Speaker 1: this to themselves. They lost their homes because they stood
31:35
Speaker 1: with the terrorists. And that is also a reality of
31:38
Speaker 1: the situation. But these meetings and standing there with net
31:43
Speaker 1: Yahou and the way that the President talked with them
31:45
Speaker 1: in the joint press conference and talking about a hope
31:47
Speaker 1: in the future where there's peace, that's something everybody should
31:51
Speaker 1: be excited about, Like everyone should be fired up for that.
31:56
Speaker 1: They should be excited. I also think Yahu coming here
32:00
Speaker 1: so quickly and being the first foreign leader to sit
32:03
Speaker 1: down in this way with Donald Trump was no accident.
32:08
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Netanya who knew this needed to be
32:10
Speaker 1: the first one. It needed to be a clear change
32:16
Speaker 1: in America's foreign policy, a new warning to the rest
32:21
Speaker 1: of the world. And also I think it's a very
32:25
Speaker 1: clear message to the anti Semitic individuals in Congress that
32:29
Speaker 1: your time being in the majority is over. Now, shut
32:32
Speaker 1: up and sit down at the back of the room. Now.
32:34
Speaker 1: I don't think they're going to do that, okay. I
32:35
Speaker 1: think they're going to still be anti Semitic as they've
32:37
Speaker 1: always been. I think the Squad's going to be anti
32:38
Speaker 1: Semiticans they've always been. They'll probably get louder, and I
32:42
Speaker 1: think you're going to have a lot of protesters on
32:44
Speaker 1: college campuses that are going to stand with the terrorists
32:47
Speaker 1: and stand against Americans and against Israel. That's going to happen,
32:51
Speaker 1: but there may be real consequences for those actions. Now.
32:54
Speaker 1: There wasn't before, but there's probably going to be real
32:57
Speaker 1: consequences moving forward. We're gonna cover it all every day
33:01
Speaker 1: for you. Make sure you hit that subscribe auto download button,
33:04
Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow on the program.
