Iran wants Revenge for Soleimani, Border Crossings Aren't Down Walz & Riley Gaines: More Men are Ruining Women's Sports Week In Review · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz the Week in Review,
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Ben Ferguson with you, and we had some major stories
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: that you may have missed that we talked about this week.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: First up, Iran attacks Israel and the worst part is
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: our administration seems to be helping Iran be flowing with
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: cash through oil sales that are sanctioned, but we are
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: not actually doing anything with those sanctions.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We're going to break that down for you.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Also, Walls lies and said the border crossings are down
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: during the debate. That is actually not true at all,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So why did they not fact check him in the media.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: We'll expose that. And finally, Riley Games joins us to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: talk about how more men are getting into women's sports.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Will this be the end of women's sports? And what
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: do women and mothers and grandmothers need to do to stand
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: up for their granddaughters and their daughters. It's the Weekend
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Review and it starts right now.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: That's how they fund Jimas, That's how they fund Hesbala,
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: That's how they fund the assassins that are trying to
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: murder Donald Trump is by selling oil. They were selling
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: roughly a million barrels of oil a day. I made
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the case to the President and the oil waivers. There
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: was a fight in the Trump administration. State again was
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: on the wrong side. Mike Pompeo with Secretary of State.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: He argued, if we end the oil waivers, the price
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: of oil well skyrocket. The price of gasoline at home
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: will go up. The Department of Energy, who you would
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: think would know something about energy, said that's nonsense. There's
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: plenty a global supply of oil. You could end the
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: oil waivers without materially impacting the price. Again, I weighed
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: in more than a dozen times with Trump. I was
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: there day after day after day making this case. Again,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: he agreed with me. He ended the oil waivers.
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: Boom.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: We know who was right. We know who was wrong.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Energy was right and State was wrong. The oil waivers ended,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and Iran's oil sales dropped from a million barrels a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: day to three hundred thousand. Their revenue collapsed. And you
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: know what, the global price of oil didn't move a blip.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: It had essentially zero impact, zero impact of the price
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of the pump back at home. But it crushed the regime.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: When Joe Biden and Kamala Harris came into office, the
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: Iranian economy was in shambles, the regime was teetering, it
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: was near falling. Which would be the best thing that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: could possibly happen for the people of Iran and the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: best thing that could possibly happen for Israel and for America.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: And what did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris do. They
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: came in, They rode like the cavalry to save the
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Ayatola and almost immediately they stopped in forcing oil sanctions.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: When they came in, Iran was selling three hundred thousand
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: barrels of oil a day. How much you think they're
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: selling today.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: I'm assuming it's got to be back to close where it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Was used to be at a million barrels a day.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Today it's at two million barrels.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: So they've doubled it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: They've doubled it from their high. Do you know how
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: much the difference is between three hundred thousand barrels a
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: day and two million barrels a day for the last
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: four years eighty billion dollars more than eighty billion time, which.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: Goes back to them being able to now sponsor as
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: much terrorism activity as they want to, which includes putting
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Israel and our other allies at.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Risk, and I want you to understand this threat on
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Trump is real. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have given
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: the Ayatola one hundred billion dollars. One hundred billion dollars
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: buys you a lot of assassins and and and listen,
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: We're not just talking about, you know, some jack a
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: doodle with a suicide vest wandering up and trying to
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: blow up the president. We're not just talking about some
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: guy on a roof with a sniper rifle. Although we've
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: now seen two guys with sniper rifles, one who succeeded
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: in shooting Donald Trump, the other who was prepared to
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: do so and trying to do so. But they're also
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: greater dangers. I want you to watch a video, and
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: this is one where I hope as many of you
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: as possible are able to see the video version of
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: this and go to YouTube, subscribe to the YouTube channel,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: but also watch this video version. This is a video
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: that was put out by the Government of a by
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: the Ayahtola. It was put out a couple of years ago,
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty two. I want you to watch it
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: and for those of you who are listening, you'll be
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: able to hear it and we'll describe afterwards exactly what
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you see. But this shows you what I Ran wants
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Give a watch.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: For those who are listening. We're seeing right now an
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: animated video of a drone attacking mar a Lago. They're
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: hacking into the computers. This is the Iranians. They put
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: together this video. They're disabling the security cameras. The drone
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: is now going to the golf course. Donald Trump is
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: playing on the golf course. There's a drone. There's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: robot that's on the ground, and there's a drone in
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the air. The robot is pulling up to the golf
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: course and it is now sighting Donald Trump, who is
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: playing golf at his home at mar Lago, and the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Iranians are targeting him directly to murder him. They're typing
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: into computers, it says hacking. They're hacking into computers. People
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: who are playing golf with Trump are getting a text
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: Solomony's murderer and the one who gave the order will
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: pay the price. Each of the people playing golf with
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Trump is now getting that text. The robot drone on
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the ground is lighting Trump up with a laser guide
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: and the drone in the air is preparing to fire
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: a missile. The Iranian is hitting fire on a dashboard
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: and it ends with the words revenge is definite and
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: then an animation of general solomony with the Ayatola Kamenes
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: website on the bottom. This is what Iran wants to do.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: And this is a couple of years ago when this
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: came out.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's now resurfaced and kind of turned into oh wait,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: this is something they've been twanty to do, trying to do,
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: planning to do, and now you find out they've got
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the money and they're hiring people to try to take
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: out Donald Trump.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: And nothing from this White House.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And here's the point that has been undercovered, and by undercovered,
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I mean not covered at all in the media. This
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: White House is complicit. The hell is this White House doing.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: You have a foreign nation trying to murder the former
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: president of the United States, the Republican nominee for president,
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: the leading candidate for president the polls, the person who
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: may well be president president elect in less than forty days,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: and this Biden white House is doing nothing. They are
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: not going after they are not making clear you know
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: what they're doing today. They're letting Iran sell two million
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: bare of oil today like tomorrow. You know how much
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: they're going to sell two million barrels of oil, mostly
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: to communist China. The Biden White House is not saying
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: a word. Biden hasn't said a word. Kamala hasn't said
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: a word. They haven't said to Iran. Understand, clearly, you
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: will end this attempt. By the way, it's not just Trump.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: They're also trying to murder Mike Pompeo, the former Secretary
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: of State of the United States. They're also trying to
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: murder John Bolton, the former national security advisor to President Trump.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: They're also trying to murder Brian hook, the former Assistant
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Secretary of State. The Department of State is today right
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: now spending two million dollars a month protecting those officials
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: from the Iranian hitman. And this administration continues to treat Iran.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: The president of Iran was in New York at the
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: United Nations this past weekend, was treated like a celebrity
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: with this administration kissing his behind while he's actively trying
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: to murder the President of the United States. And look,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: here's the dirty little secret. There is a not insubstantial
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: number of Democrats who are quietly rooting for a ran
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: to be successful in murdering Trump.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: We've seen on social media.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: By the way, you're not exaggerating every time there's an
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: attack on Trump's life. There are celebrities, there are Democrats.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: There are people that are not i would say extreme
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: or fringe, people who are like rooting this on.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: The polling shows twenty to thirty percent of Democrats want
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Trump to be killed. Now, let me be clear. I
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: don't want Biden killed, I don't want Kamala killed. I
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: don't want any Democrats killed. I am anti murderer, I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: anti assassination. If any country tries to do that, we
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: should bring the full might of the US military to
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: bring any regime that threatens the president or vice president,
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: a senior official in this administration, bring them to their knees.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I want to beat Kamala at the polls. I want
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: the voters to say your policies are terrible. But there
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: is a not insubstantial percentage of Democrats that are rooting
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: for please, Please, Please, having a assassin's bullet destroy that
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: they have been so poisoned by hate, they've been so
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: indoctrinated to hate Trump. He's not their political opposition. He
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: is the enemy, and it is I cannot believe there
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: is not outrage, there is not strength. I cannot believe
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the ayatola has not been told if you attempt to
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: assassinate Donald Trump, you the ayah toola will die and
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: every mulla around you will die. You want to know
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: what strength looks like. Look at Israel. We're gonna put
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: a pager in your pants and blow your pants off.
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, Israel knows how to stand up
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: to people that are trying to murder them. The Biden
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: White House, what are they doing to stop an attempted
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: assassination of the former president and quite possibly the next
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: president of the United States?
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: Senter.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I want to say one thing because I know this
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: is gonna come up. And I laugh when I see
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: the comments when we put up the episodes on social media,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: when we put them up on YouTube, and be like, well,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: you're misleading the audience by claiming that we don't have
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: sanctions on Iran. We have sanctions on Iran. That's what
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: this administration says. But they're worthless if they're not being enforced,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: right and That is the part I want you to
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: just expand on quickly because you'll see the media and
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: they'll say this, and the White House has said it
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: countless times. We have sanctions on Iran, we have sanctions
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: on their oil. They're not being enforced, so they're worthless.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: So a simple question anytime you hear a talking head
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: saying that, why when Trump left the office was Iran
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: selling three hundred thousand barrels a day of oil? And
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: why today are they selling two million barrels of oil
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: a day. So the way they're selling it is they
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: have a ghost fleet of tankers, tankers that are not flagged,
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: that are surreptitiously bringing the oil from Iran to China.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: And this administration is not going after the ghost fleet.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: It's not vigorously enforced the sanctions. And the reason it's
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: not is this administration desperately wants a new Iran deal,
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: and so they're bending over backwards to give Iran everything
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: they want because they want an Iran deal and they're willing.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Iran is funding Hamas, who carried out October seventh. Iran
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: is funding Hesbela, who is attacking Israel every day. Iran
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: is actively attacking US servicemen and women in the Middle
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: East right now today, and Iran is actively trying to
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: murder Donald Trump. And yet Joe Biden and Kamala Harris,
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: they are sending Iran billions of dollars principally through not
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: enforcing the oil sanctions, but they are providing the funding
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: for the hit men who are targeting Donald Trump.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: from earlier this week.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Now onto story number two.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: You know, there was another moment on the same topic
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of the border where Tim Waltz said the most brazen
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: lie of the entire debate, and when Waltz was back
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: pedaling and trying to defend the disaster of Kamala's open borders,
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Tim Waltz said, quote, border crossings are down compared to
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: when Donald Trump left office.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, now, which is a lie. And you and I
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: both are looking at the TV like that that's not true.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: That that is not slightly true, it's not kind of true.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: It's not in any way. And let me give you
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the stats. So in December twenty twenty, the total encounters
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: with illegals was eighty nine thousand and seventy two. In
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: August twenty twenty four, the total encounters was one hundred
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and fifty eighty nine hundred and eighty eight, so it
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: was nearly twice as many. And and mind you, look,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: there's been a slight dip in the last couple of
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: months because Biden and Harris are trying to pretend to
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: do something about the border, and they're just doing it
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: as electioneering. And to put it in, in all of
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: fiscal year twenty twenty, do you know how many encounters
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: with illegals there were under Trump? How many six hundred
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: and forty six, eight hundred and twenty two.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: That's like a month in this administration.
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: In fiscal year twenty four year to date. And by
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: the way, we're not all the way through twenty four.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Do you know how many there're been?
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: How many?
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: Two million, seven hundred and fifty six thousand, six hundred
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: and forty six. Yeah, And by the way, these these
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: brave fact checkers, did you notice the CBS cut off
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: anybody's They say, wait a second, Governor, you just said
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: that border encounters were lower now than they were under Trump.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: That is flat out false. They didn't say that because
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: they're not in the business of fact checking democrats.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Well, and they also didn't bring up something else that
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I actually thought.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: There's a missopportunity.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: I think JD had a great night, but I wish
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: you would have seized on this. The acting ICE Director
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: put out all of these numbers that we've talked about here, yes,
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: about the number of rapists that were go that we
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: knew were rapists, the number of murders that were let go,
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: and the number of those that had been charged with
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Haines's crimes, and we still let go into this country.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: And that didn't see the light of day tonight. And
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: it's again it goes back to the moderators, like it's
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: shame on them for not actually talking about the Acting
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: ICE Director saying this when they're going to talk about
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: the border.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: How do you talk about the border without that? But
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: And again, it's debating's tough, and I want to be clear,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: it's tough, But there was a missed opportunity there. I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: shocked that JAD didn't really try to hammer that that
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: point home.
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Look, look, I think JD did a very good
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: job tonight. I was surprised that the thirteen thousand convicted
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: murderers did not come up. It's such a powerful number,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: and CBS hasn't covered it, the news hasn't covered it,
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: and so this debate was an opportunity for That's actually
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: something that I wish that like it had been slowly explained,
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: that they'd taken a little bit of time. You need
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: to understand that right now today, there are more than
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: thirteen thousand illegal aliens who are free, who have not
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: been apprehended, who are convicted murderers. There is nothing whatsoever
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: stopping Kamala Harris from picking up all thirteen thousand of
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: them tomorrow. Legally, she has every right to do so.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: They are here illegally, they can be detained, they can
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: be deported. And yet and there are another two thousand
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: roughly illegal aliens who have pending murder charges, so they're
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: being charged with murder, and you know what, they're free too.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: There is nothing zero preventing Kamala Harris from picking up
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: those two thousand, and I would have loved to see
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: JD turn to Tim Wattson and say, Governor, why doesn't
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Kamala Harris pick up those fifteen thousand murderers right now,
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: And what would you say to the mother of the
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: children murdered by these illegal alien murderers that you continue
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: to allow on the street. Yeah, he wouldn't have an
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: answer to that.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't have an answer to that.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: And look again, like I said, debating is hard, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I think one of the things that he did really
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: well was he talked about the fact that people are
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: suffering in this country because there's so many illegal immigrants,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: and it backfired on CBS. They were talking about the
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: economy and they were talking about the housing crisis. It
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: was a little bit later in the debate. Many people,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: if you didn't watch the whole debate, this was one
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: of those moments. I think they actually buried it on purpose.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: They need to check a box, ask a question about
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the about housing. But there was a moment there where JD.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Van sees on like, well, yeah, of course home prices
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: are going to be up. Let you let fifteen to
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: twenty million people in this country. They got to have
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: a roof over their head at night. They're competing with you,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: especially for low cost housing and apartments, which is skyrocket and.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: Price undoubtedly, and CBS really beclowned themselves on this because
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: because one of the moderators chimed in and said, well,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: do you have any evidence of that? What proof do
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: you have of that? And JD, to his credit, was
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: prepared and said, well, actually, there's a Federal Reserve study
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that lays out the impact of illegal immigration driving up
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: the cost of housing, and we'll put that out on
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: social media right now so you can go read the study.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: But he also made the point of just supply and demand.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: What do you think an additional eleven and a half
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: million people is going to be bending housing is going
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to do? Do you do these houses magically get created
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: from the sky? Is there a wand that makes makes
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: them come into existence? And the moderators just didn't like
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: that point, and and so they they were, but they
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: looked pretty silly when they asked if he had any
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: evidence and the answer was well, yes, I.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Love The other day on TV they were talking about
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the price of hotels in New York City of skyrocketed. Yeah,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: because I think it's like one out of x summer
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: of every hotels is filled with illegal immigrants. They're taking
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: away hotel room of course, so then they get more
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: for the hotel rooms that are available you and I
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: I don't even know if did you know I got
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: stranded in New York City and there wasn't a single
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: hotel room after we came back from the airport, Did
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: I tell you this? So this is how bad it is.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: And this is when I learned, like really firsthand. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: went the airport, was on the plane, was on the
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: plane for like four hours. They finally cancel the fight.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: We pulled back up the gate and they say go
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: back in the city. So immediately get on the phone.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: I call Fox. I'm there for TV. I'm like, hey,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to need a hotel room. And I got
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: to get back to the city. And then I get
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: into a fight back in the morning to Houston, and
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: she was like, no problem, I'll caite in a minute,
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: go ahead and head down the cars and we'll get
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: you back to the city. She said, I've never seen
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: this before. There's not a single hotel room in the city.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: And I'm like not. And it wasn't like there was
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: like the Super Bowl going on. This is a normal
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Tuesday in New York And I was like, are you kidding. Well,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: then I open up my app and I'm like I
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: get on Expedia, there are no hotel rooms. They start
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: looking in New Jersey, They're looking everywhere. Finally, the only
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: option was to go back to the city and hope
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: that someone doesn't come to a hotel room. I sat
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: outside of the hotel I always stay at, know the manager,
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and I walked in. He's like Ben, He's like, this
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: is because of all the illegal immigrants in the city.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: He goes, there's no hotel rooms to deal with a capacity.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I set outside to one in the morning until finally
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: someone canceled the hotel and then he checked me into
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: that room at one o'clock. So I sat there from
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: seven to one am. My fight was at six and mornings.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I slept for like three hours. And he said, this
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: is what they've done to our city, referring to the
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants and how many have come in. And when
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I say there was an it was there was not
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: a hotel room in the city. That's what's happening now
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: because of legal immigration. Senator, I want to talk and
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: wrap on the issue of style. You know, you and
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I both thought this was going to be a intense debate.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: They don't like each other. They're going to throw down.
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: I think We're also gotten kind of used to that
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: with Donald Trump. That's what we've seen over the last
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: several years. Joe Biden likes to do that as well.
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of the Republican debates. Primary debates
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: didn't by the way Hillary and Trump was nasty. They
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: were nasty. Oh yeah, I mean they threw down, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: tonight I didn't. I did enjoy a little bit of civility, absolutely,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and that was something we haven't seen. But I also
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: think if it was a strategy by the by the
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: Trump team, Hey you're gonna be the likable guy. You're
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: gonna try to bring more people into the tent. I
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: want you to walk away really thinking that you're the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: right choice.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: They nailed it. If that was the intent tonight.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, I think JD came across as as real
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: and relatable. He did a good job of telling his
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: own family story and his own background, I mean his
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: you know, he wrote a best selling book Hill Billy LG.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: Was made into a movie, a very very good movie,
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: a movie that's terrific to watch, and but yet a
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: lot of people don't know that story. He's been a
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: caricatured just like Trump has, and and I think tonight
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: made real progress, making him seem like a real person,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: seem like a husband and a father, and and you know,
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: someone who has journeyed from very humble beginnings to right
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: now being the nominee to be vice president of the
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: United States, that's one heck of a journey.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: As before, if you want to hear the rest of
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: dow the podcasts from earlier this week to hear the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: entire thing. I want to get back to the big
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: story number three of the week. You may have missed, Riley,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: you mentioned all American in a moment ago that you
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: know that the girls that were crying and the mothers
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: and the dads were crying because they were one shot
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: out right, one spot out of an incredible, prestigious award.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: When you talk about shaving time and then this advantage
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that he has over you, what was the difference between
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: first place in tenth place when it talks about when
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: you're talking about shaving seconds or tents of seconds off, like,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: I don't think people understand just how close it is
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: at the elite level.
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, again, tens of seconds, that's how much you're even
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: in the fifty freestyle, for example, it's first place to
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: sixteenth place, which is what qualifies of being an All
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: American top sixteen in the country, it's tenths of a second.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Now we're seeing this not just in swimming. We're seeing
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: this in sport after sport after sport. Right now, it's
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: become an issue with San Jose State Volleyball, where there's
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: a biological man who's playing on the women's volleyball team,
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: and there have now been multiple women's teams that have
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: refused to play. Give us your reaction to that, having
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: competed in a different sport but at the same elite level.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Well, first, this is the first time we have seen
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: something like this, a movement in motion where teams are
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: standing in unity together saying we won't allow this to happen.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: Enough is enough.
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: You're not going to continue to discriminate against us on
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: the basis of our sex, which is of course everything
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: that TI nine was passed originally to prevent from happening.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: As you described San Jose State University, they allowed a
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: man onto their team to take a scholarship. He's taken
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: a roster spot, he has taken when they travel you
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: know that travel spot that rightfully belongs to a girl,
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: to a woman. But in talking with and working with
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: these presidents of these other Mountain West Conference schools like,
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: for example, Southern Utah, Boise State, followed by University of Wyoming,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: and most recently just last night, Utah State, these four
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: schools have said, hey, we're not going to compete against
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: this team. The universities, of course haven't specifically cited a reason,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: but I can tell you in talking to these teams,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: these girls are fearful of their safety. They understand, Look,
• 23:51
  Speaker 5: we know we're going to take a lot, that's what
• 23:54
  Speaker 5: it means when you forfeit a match. But this is
• 23:57
  Speaker 5: a worthy cause. We don't want to be on the receiver.
• 24:00
  Speaker 5: I've seen this boy give career ending concussions to girls,
• 24:05
  Speaker 5: and so they cite safety concerns these women for not
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: feeling comfortable to play. And I'll tell you there's more
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: schools in the pipeline coming up who will soon also
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: cancel their games against San Jose State University.
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: Well, and the risks of physical safety, particularly in sports
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: that have more and more direct contact, whether you're dealing
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: with volleyball and someone spiking the ball into your face,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: or a sport like basketball, or we saw at the
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: Olympics so called women's boxing with biolet logical males competing.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Give us your thoughts on the risks of really serious
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: injury that can happen when you have biological males engaged
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: in direct physical violence in a sport against women.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm not even going to give you my thoughts.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: I'll tell you exactly what is happening. I'm going to
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: give you factual information here. Let's look, for example, at
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: Peyton McNabb, a high school senior she was at the
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: time in North Carolina, a similar situation. Actually, it's the
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: sport of ball, a volleyball. A man on the opposing team,
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: he jumps up, he spikes, the ball, hits her in
• 25:11
  Speaker 5: the face. She's knocked unconscious where she lays for many
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: minutes before you know, finally coming back around. Still to
• 25:18
  Speaker 5: this day, that was two years ago. That was September
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: of twenty twenty two, so over two years ago. Still
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: to this day, she's partially paralyzed on her right side.
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: Her vision is impaired, her memory is impaired. She has
• 25:29
  Speaker 5: to have special accommodations for testing at school because she
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: can't retain information like she once could. She was supposed
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: to play softball in college, but because of this brain injury,
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: she will not go on to do that. She just
• 25:42
  Speaker 5: had part of her pituitary gland removed out of her
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: brain because of how traumatic the head injury was. Let's
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: look for or look at for example, what we saw
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: at ed a high school in Massachusetts where a male
• 25:56
  Speaker 5: was allowed to play field hockey with the girls. Again,
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: the girls and this boy. He slaps a shot at
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: the women's one of the women on the field. It
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: hits her in the face, in the mouth, and it
• 26:07
  Speaker 5: knocks all her teeth out. Even she had to undergo reconstruction,
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: facial reconstruction surgery to reconstruct her jaw. This male player,
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: he's given career and in concussions to girls. Like I said,
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: most recently, we saw him hit a woman in the
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: face from University of Delaware to where she doesn't even
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: have time to defend herself. Okay, like there was no
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: reaction time for her that would have been able to
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: prevent this hit from hitting her in the head. The
• 26:36
  Speaker 5: list goes on. We saw recently even what the Olympics
• 26:39
  Speaker 5: has done. The IOC allowed two men, two plural males,
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: to compete in women's boxing, which naturally these both of
• 26:50
  Speaker 5: these men went on to win gold medals in their
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: respective weight divisions, and one of the female boxers who
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: fought against this boxer, one of the male boxers, said
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: she had never been punched that forcefully, that hard in
• 27:03
  Speaker 5: her entire life. She said, this was nothing a punch
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: that a woman could throw.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: How is this remotely fair? In what universe? Is this
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: even arguably fair?
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Well, it's absolutely not. And I'll tell you the people
• 27:22
  Speaker 5: who are lobbying for this, who are voting in favor
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: of this, who are advocating for this, they don't even
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: believe it. Even recently, Senator Cruz, when I testified actually
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: before your committee, I had some of your colleagues from
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: across the aisle come up to me before the hearing
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: and say, hey, look, you know, I played football at Stanford.
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: I totally get where you're coming from. I totally agree.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: And then gets on the other side of the table
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: and what.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Does he do.
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: He starts grilling me and sympathizes with those on the
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: other side, not the women. So they don't believe this.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: They're again just cowards, and they know. That's why one.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: You have been incredible on many issues outside of the
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: gender ideology movement, but your opponent here in your state.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: I was so enthused to see this ad come out recently.
• 28:17
  Speaker 5: It was so powerful, it was so effective. If the
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: people listening haven't seen it, go watch it. I've reposted
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: on my page. It's this perfect depiction, and that the
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: very even if you just watched the last ten seconds,
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: you see a man in a jersey with al right
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: on the back of it, and he tramples a young girl,
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: and that is the message, perfectly depicted. That is the
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: message that we are receiving and that people are voting for.
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: That's what you're getting if you vote for someone who
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: advances these progressive and harmful policies.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Let me ask you. You've gone to a number of
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: campuses and you've spoken out, and I admire your courage
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: because you've had some really unpleasant receptions and threats of
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: violence against you. Describe a little bit what you've experienced
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: as a consequence of speaking out against this.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: Well, I was just actually explaining to Ben I'm actually
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: a University of Texas and Austin's campus today, and I'll
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: tell you there was some minor heckling, but for the
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: most part, was very well received because these students are
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: desperate to hear the truth, to be honest with you,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: they've been denied it from their universities, from these you know,
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: institutional academic institutions. They've been denied the truth through censorship
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: and other things. And so I had a great reception tonight.
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: But you're right, I have been in scenarios where I
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: have not been overly well received. One, for example, is
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: San Francisco State University where I mean I was accosted,
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: I was ambush, I was attacked by these these protesters,
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: hundreds of them. They rush into the room, they turn
• 30:03
  Speaker 5: off the lights. They I mean, I'm being punched in
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: the face by these men wearing dresses, which again, they
• 30:10
  Speaker 5: ultimately held me for ransom for about five hours, demanding
• 30:14
  Speaker 5: that if I wanted to make it home to see
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: my family safely again, I had to pay them money.
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: All the while the police are being held for ransom
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: with me. Because remember this is San Francisco, and the
• 30:23
  Speaker 5: police don't know I shouldn't say they don't know how
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: to do their job. They just don't do their job
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: in this city.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Well prevented from doing it by the political leadership who
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: doesn't let them protect protect the rights of innocence because ideology,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Trump's actually defending people's rights and people's safety. And we
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: see whether it's in San Francisco or Minneapolis, or New
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: York or Los Angeles, we see that left wing democrats
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: prevent law enforcement from protecting innocence in many cases from violence.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: That the ideology on the left is if if if
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: the violence is carried out by someone whose politics they
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: align with, then they're happy to look the other way
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: and to effectively handcuff police officers from protecting protecting the
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: innocent from violence.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: And that's exactly what these officers said. You know, I
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: asked them, can't you do something, to which they said, no,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: we can't. We're not allowed to do anything because we're
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: not allowed to be seen as anything other than an
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: ally to that community or else will lose their jobs. Again,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: the same community who's on the other side of the
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: door where we were barricaded, who called these officers rac
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: his pigs for protecting a white girl like me. That's
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: who they again were almost forcibly had to side with
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: in this scenario.
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: Well, Riley, thank you for speaking out. Thank you for
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: speaking out not just for yourself, but but you're speaking
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: out for women, You're speaking out for young girls, You're
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: speaking out for the next generation of app athletes. You know,
• 32:00
