• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Ted Cruz Weekend Review, Ben Ferguson
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: with you, and these are the stories that you may
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: have missed that we talked about this week. First up,
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Donald Trumps directed to the military to go after drug
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: cartels that have been designated as terrorist organizations.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: So what does that actually look like.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We're going to give you all the details of exactly
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: what the cartels are planning for. Also, if you are
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: a Republican in a gerrymandered blue state, how do you
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: fight back over what the Democrats have been doing for decades?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: All of this part of the conversation. After the big
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: fight in Texas over redistricting and the Democrats leaving the state,
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: we'll have that explain for you as well. And finally,
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Google caught again interfering in the voting process, this time
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: conservative emails not making it into your inbox, while democratic
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: emails from candidates and organizations had no problem going to
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: the top of your list.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It's the weekend Review and it starts right now.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It also goes back to the second part of the
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: show and it deals with the president making very big steps,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: bold steps here and look at what he has decided
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to now do when it comes to dealing with drug cartels,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: he's made them some of them have been named terrorists organizations.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: And this was done deliberately on purpose by this president
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to be able to go after the drug cartels, which
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: these cartels are clearly killing Americans each and every day
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: with the drugs coming across the border and also the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: violence that comes across the border. And the President now
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: has enough. He put out a tweet and he's ordering
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: now the US military to destroy not only the drug cartels,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: but the New York Post is reporting as well that
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: the President has apparently authorized military force against the Latin
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: American drug cartels classified as foreign terrorist organizations. That Pete
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Edgseth went on who Our Ingram Show tonight, was asked
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: about it. He's like, look, we know a lot more
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: about these cartels than they realize. We know a lot
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: more about where they are, what they're doing, where they're moving.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: And the President said this is a top priority and
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I'm working on it, and that was a pretty bold
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: statement from the man in charge of the Pentagon.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yes, here's what the New York Post reported quote,
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: President Trump has secretly authorized the military to use force
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: against Latin American drug cartels classified as foreign terrorist organizations.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: The move is the most aggressive action Trump is taken
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: yet against Yang's trafficking drugs like fetanol across the US
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Mexico border, the activities of which were previously the purview
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: of federal law enforcement. The order, first reported Friday by
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: The New York Times, gives US forces official permission to
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: engage cartels on land and sea. Quote the President is
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: determined to not just dismantle, but completely destroy Maduro's cart
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Tell dela Soles and to obliterate their operations in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Western hemisphere. A source close to the White House said
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations include involved
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: in drug trafficking include Venezuela's trender Aragua and Cartel de
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: la Soles, as well as El Salvadores rooted Mara Salvatruca
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: known as MS thirteen. And that is incredibly consequential because
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: it now sets up the stage I would expect to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: see military action taking out the cartels that have been
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: designated as terrorist organizations. That takes this to a whole
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: new level. And just like what the President is doing
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: in DC, that has Democrats beside themselves because given a
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: choice between siding with law abiding American citizens or murderers
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and gang members, Today's Democrats science with the murderers and
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: gang members, and given a choice between siding with international
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: gangs and drug cartels that are trafficking poison to our
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: kids and murdering Americans, or standing with American families. Sadly,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: the Democrats choose to get on a plane and go
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: down to El Salvador and have dakeries with MS thirteen
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: human traffickers.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Well let's talk about the narrative as well on this
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: there Today I was watching and they were saying, well,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: this is the present sanctioning war war IREI, this is
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the present sanctioning a attack on Mexico, and that's going
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: to start a war. I think those might be two
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: of the most egregious and just absurd statements the president.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: If we attack the cartels and the terrorist organizations, that's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: not an attack on Mexico. That's not going to war
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: with Mexico. Even though the Democrats and those in the
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: media are trying to explain that way, I don't think
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: the American people would see it that way either, especially
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: with Americans dying on a daily basis.
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: Look, I think that's right. And I'll point out also
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: there is a clear precedent this. When George W. Bush
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: was president, you had the nation of Columbia just racked
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: by drug cartels, the Mediine cartel, the Colleague cartel. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: and the result of these cartels is crime in Columbia
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: was out of control. The murder rate was out of control.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: You had acts of terrorism, uh that that that were
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: attacking and and and the cartels were murdering, were blowing up,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: We're shooting uh, police officers and and judges and and
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: elected officials and mayors and and and it was really
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: in bad shape. And and and the people of Columbia
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: elected President Eurebe as the President of Columbia. And he
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: asked President George W. Bush, will you help us? And
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: and and Bush launched what was called Plan Colombia. Planned Columbia,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: sent the military in and just decimated the cartels. It
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: turns out our military is really good at killing the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: bad guys. Uh. And and we did so, and and
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it ended up turning Columbia around. It made a massive
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: difference in the nation of Columbia. So our military knows
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: how to do this. There's clear precedent with some of these,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: with some of these cartels, we will be asked in
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: by the governments with open arms. With In other instances,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you may have elected officials and governments that resist America
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: coming in. That becomes more complicated. The United States has
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: acted against terrorists and foreign nations, even when the sovereign
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: government is less than thrilled about that. But it's more
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: complicated if the government is asking us not to. But
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: it is nonetheless how exactly the Trump administration navigates that
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: that will be an open question over the next three years.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: But I got to tell you this, if you're a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Mexican drug lord, if you're a drug lord anywhere, particularly
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: in one of these gangs that has been designated a
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: terrorist organization by the President, I would sleep with one
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: eye open, because you know, a a predator drone is
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: really good at making things go boom in the night.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: And I think the terrorist and the drug cartels are
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: all sleeping a lot less comfortable right now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, let
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: me ask you this question. You hear these numbers. This
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: is where I think Democrats screwed up nationwide when they
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: were coming to the aid of the Democrats from Washington,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: I mean from Texas, and they're like, you know, we're
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: gonna stand by you and will jerry Man. Jerry Man
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: are even more if they take away seats from you
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: in Texas. YadA, YadA, YadA. Now people see this, we're
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: talking about it. Everyone else to put a gold talking
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: about it. There's a lot of Republicans are gonna be angry.
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: How do you fight back if you're in a state
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: where I don't know, thirty forty percent right of of
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the or more than forty percent some of these states
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: are voting Republican and they're getting zero representation in Congress.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: What do you do now? Is there a legal way
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: to say this is jerrymandery?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Well, look, they are being shown to be complete hypocrites.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And I want you now to listen to this clip
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: from NBC where the governor of Illinois, Governor Pritzker, is
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: called out on his uto hypocrisy. Give a listen.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: Every major group that grades the fairness of congressional maps
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: gives your state an f Common Cause and nonpartisan government
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: watchdog even says your map, and I'm going to quote
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: represents a nearly perfect model for everything that can go
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: wrong with redistracting. And I guess the question is, you
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: talk about preserving democracy, how do you preserve democracy if
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: you're using the same tactics that you've criticized Texas Republicans for.
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: But as I say, what they're talking about is a distraction.
• 8:49
  Speaker 6: The reality is that the violation of people's voting rights
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: is what Texas is attempting to do. That's what's wrong
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: with their efforts right now. And the fact that the
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: President of the United States ows it and nevertheless is
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: asking them to do it, that is what's wrong with
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: what we're seeing right now.
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: Democracy is at stake.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I love it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: They always go back to democracy is at stake, center, Like,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: don't hit the question.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: Event how do you know that a Democrat is lying.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: They start talking about democracy at stake.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: His lips are moving. Yeah, it's true, it's true. It
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: is utterly brazen. So let's go back to the numbers,
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: because the numbers matter. So Illinois, fifty four percent of
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: people in Illinois vote Democrat, and yet their map right
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: now elects eighty two percent of the congressional delegation as Democrat.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Now Texas Texas. Right now today Texas, fifty six percent
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: of the state in twenty twenty four voted Republican. Our map,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: we have thirty eight seats in it, twenty four Republicans,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: fourteen Democrats. That means that right now in Texas, fifty
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: four percent of the Republicans elect sixty three percent of
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the congressional delegation. So it's slightly more than the statewide percentage,
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: but not nearly as egregious as the other states. Now,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: what Texas is doing is redrawing the districts so that
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: five new Republicans are likely to be elected. So instead
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: of breaking down twenty four to fourteen, it is likely
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to break down twenty nine to nine. That means that
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: we would go from sixty three percent of the Congressional
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: delegation being Republican, we would go from that to seventy
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: six percent. Now, seventy six percent is still lower than California,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: which is eighty three percent. It is lower than Illinois,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: which is eighty two percent, and it's obviously lower than Massachusetts,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: which is one hundred percent. And the irony the loudest
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: voices that are denouncing what Texas is doing. Are the
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: governors of California, Illinois, and Massachusetts, three Democrat Hippocrats that
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: are all saying, you guys are drawing your maps not
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: nearly as bad as we've drawn it, but how dare
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: you get even close?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: And by the way, don't forget the New York governor
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Hochel got in on this as well. She was called
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: out for it on Fox News Channel. Listen to this
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: summrized it.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: They said it was only three years ago that New
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: York's Democratic legislature drew up the map so brazenly contemptuous
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: of basic rules the governor district's contiguousness, that the state's
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Democrat dominated Court of Appeals throw it out. The New
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: York Times at the time called those maps comically contorted.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: That's their quote. So your state's highest court at the time,
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: all the judges appointed by democratic governors, they threw the
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: maps out. So fair to say democrats have done what
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: they're now accusing Republicans of doing.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: No, we followed the rules.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: We do it every ten years.
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: That you didn't follow the rules, Well, we did follow
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: the rules, So the court was wrong.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: We followed the rules.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: We follow the ruves. They didn't.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: The court said you did. No, no, we followed There was
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: no no no. The court said you didn't follow the rules.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: That's how bad they were in New York on that, Senator.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: And understand, in New York Democrats get fifty five fifty
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: six percent of the vote, and they get seventy three
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: percent of the congressional district. And but by the way,
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: the way they do that in New York is is
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: they break up Long Island, they break up Republican parts
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: and try to try to elect Democrats that they are.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: The way they do it in California is they break
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: up southern California, they break up Orange County, and they
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: try to break up Republican votes. The way they do
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: it in Chicago as they break up the more conservative
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: votes that are outside of Chicago. All of that, that's
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the strategy the Democrats do. And and listen, the reason
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Texas is acting to do this is because it matters
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: number one nationally, if we have a Republican majority in
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: the House. We have a very slim majority right now.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: Electing five new Republicans will make a difference, will significantly
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: increase the chances of keeping a Republican majority in the
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty sixth election. But it also reflects the values
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: of the voters of Texas. Texas is a red state.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: Texans want low taxes, we want low regulation, we want
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: a secure border. We support law enforcement, we support keeping
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: our families safe, We support the Constitution. We want free
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: speech and religious liberty in the Second Amendment. Texans believe
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: in fundamental liberty, fundamental values, and today's left wing, lunatic
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Democrat Party is directly contrary to the values of the
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: people of Texas. And so what the legislature is doing
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: is drawing a map that will elect a congressional delegation
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that reflects the values of the voters. That is not
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: only not contrary to democracy, is the essence of democracy,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: which is allowing the voters to actually elect representatives who
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: share their values. And what the Democrats are mad about
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: is that this map will allow the voters of Texas
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: to elect representatives who share their values. In their view,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: any time you hear a Democrat use the words assault
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: on democracy, what they really mean is electing Republicans. It's
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: just about power. It's why these same hypocrites did everything
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: they could to remove Donald Trump from the ballot, because
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: nothing says defending democracy like taking your opponent off the
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: ballot and stopping the pesky voters from voting for him.
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: They don't believe in democracy. They believe in power, raw power.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: So they're perfectly comfortable with Massachusetts having one hundred percent
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: of its delegation being Democrats, but they're furious if a
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: republican state actually tries to have its delegation reflect the
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: views of its voter. That is the beauty of democracy.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: And if you think I'm being too harsh, if you
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: think I'm being to too harsh and too judgmental of
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the Democrats, I want you to listen to my erstwhile opponent,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: Beto O'Rourke. Now, now, Beto, you recall ran against me
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: in twenty eighteen for the Senate. He became a cause
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: celeb all of the Democrats, all of the media, Their
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: hearts went pitter pat, and he was a phenom. And
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: he came within a few points of beating to be lost.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: And then he ran for president as a Democrat and
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: he lost. And then he ran for governor against Greg
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: Abbotty lost. So at this point he's zero for three
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and he's kind of pissed off about it, and so
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: when he's pissed off about it, he's really honest and candid.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Give a listen to what Beto had to say.
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: You're not going to let him stop us?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Are you with me on that handle?
• 15:54
  Speaker 7: It also means, as Mark was saying earlier, we don't
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: await the punch thrown by these would be fascist to land.
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: We punch first, and we punch harder. We want California
• 16:07
  Speaker 7: and New Jersey and Illinois and Maryland and every other
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: state where the Democrats hold the governor's mansion, the Assembly,
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: and the state Senate to redraw their congressional districts now,
• 16:19
  Speaker 7: not wait for Texas to move first to maximize Democratic
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: Party advantage. Listen, you may say to yourself, well, those
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: aren't the rules. There are no reps in this game
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: for the rules. We are gonna win whatever it takes.
• 16:33
  Speaker 7: We're gonna take this to them in every way that
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: we can.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta love bet To there, family values guy. Right,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: That's why I say he's such a just dynamic candidate.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: But look, he is honest. This is today's Democrat party.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: It is about power. Nothing else matters. Democracy doesn't matter.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: The will of the voters doesn't matter. It is they're
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: imposing their radical left wing values and the reason they
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: have to be so obsessed with power. Their ideas are unpopular.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: If you put a referendum in front of the American
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: people you want open borders, overwhelming majority of Americans say no, No,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: we don't. You put a referendum in front of the
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: American people. Hey do you want to release murderers and
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: rapists and child molesters? American people say no. Hey do
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: you want to confiscate everyone's guns? The American people say no.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Hey do you want boys competing in girls' sports? The
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: American people say no. And so, if you're a party
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: whose entire platform is wildly unpopular is on the twenty
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: side of eighty twenty issue after eighty twenty issue, after
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: eighty twenty issue, the only way you can implement your
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: crazy ideology is through brute force and power. And Beto,
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I'll commend him for being honest. He's just interested, ironically,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: in being a fascist, in being a ttalitarian the language
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: he uses. He doesn't want the voters to have a say.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: He wants to force his radical policies on them. That's
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: what the Democrats are revealing to the whole country as before.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: If you want to hear the rest of this conversation
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: on this topic, you can go back and down the
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I want to get back to the big story number
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: three of the week. You may have missed, sender, It's
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: time we talk a little bit about Google, and it
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: is another bombshell that's come out showing massive bias with
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Google their search engines, also the emails that make it
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to your inbox and those they decide purposely to send
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: a spam. There's even shocking revelations now that sending a
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: firm that sent the same email the same exact wording,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: one with a link to a conservative group went to spam,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: but if it had a link to a hardcore lefty group,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: it went straight to the top of your inbox.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: How the hell are they getting away with this?
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: Well, unfortunately, it appears to be blatant by us, and listen.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I have long believed that big text censorship bias poses
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: the single greatest threat we have to free speech in
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: America and the single greatest threat we have to free
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: and fair elections in America, and Big Tech, the giant
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: tech oligarchs have been hardcore leftists, and they have abused
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: their monopoly power to try to elect Democrats. And by
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: far the worst actor in this historically has been Google.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Google openly censors conservative speech, It skews its search results
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: to favor Democrats. In the twenty sixteen election, the employer
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: for the largest amount of campaign contributions to Hillary Clinton
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: was Google. And so they are all in with the Democrats.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hold on, say that again, so people really
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: understand how biased they are.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Say that one more time.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Okay, in twenty sixteen, think of all of the people
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: that made campaign contributions to Donald Trump and to Hillary Clinton.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: So when you make a campaign contribution, you report on
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: the FEC. You put your name, you put your address,
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: you put your employer, and any contribution two hundred dollars
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: and above gets reported. And so then they make reports
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: and you can see, all right, where does the most
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: money come from? The number one source, not number two,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: not number three, number one source for campaign contributions, hard
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: money contributions to Hillary Clinton was Google. Actually technically was Alphabet,
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: which is which is Google's parent company, But that's Google.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: They were her number one donor. And by the way,
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: there is a psychologist, Robert Epstein, who I've had testify
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: in front of my committee, the Senate Commerce Committee, who
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: did empirical research on Google and found that Google skewed
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: search results and moved millions of votes from Donald Trump
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to Hillary Clinton. And by the way, doctor Epstein was
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: a liberal Democrat who voted for Hillary. He was still
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: horrified at the results. Well, the latest report I'm going
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: to read from the New York Post quote Google caught
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: flagging GOP fundraiser emails as suspicious, sending them directly to spam.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Google is at it again. The GOP campaign donations could
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: be a casualty. The search giant has been caught this
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: summer flagging Republican fundraising emails as quote dangerous spam, keeping
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: them from hitting Gmail users inboxes, while leaving similar solicitations
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: from Democrats untouched. A consulting firm warned that's despite repeatedly
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: sparking headlines and lawsuits in recent years over this allegedly
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: partisan practice, this is something this has been a pattern,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: it's been a problem. It's been going on for a
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: long time, and it appears Google is doubling down and
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: continuing to block Republican fundraising emails while green lighting Democrat
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: fundraising emails.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: It really is incredible and this just goes, I think
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: to the radicalness of the left, whether it's Google or
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: We now have a guy that is apparently was in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the Department of Justice who just decided, I got a
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: subway sunch, I'm going to throw it at police officers
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: and run away. And now we find out even the
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: people that are still working the deep state are willing
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: to do things like this. We've now found out who
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: he is, he's lost his job, and he's been arrested.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Well, listen, we've talked a lot on this podcast about
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: how the Democrats have lost their ever loving mind. They
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: hate Donald Trump so much that they've just gone to
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: crazy town. They've taken just about every eighty twenty issue
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: in America. They've decided to embrace the twenty percent side.
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: So when it comes to immigration, there for open borders.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: When it comes to sports, they want boys competing in
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: girls sports. When it comes to kids, they want children
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: being sterilized and having gender mutilating surgeries. And when it
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: comes to criminals, they're in favor of them. They're in
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: favor of releasing murderers and rapists and Venezuelan gang members.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: And the left right now is losing their mind about
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: DC and the fact that Donald Trump is exercising clear
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: constitutional authorty already clear statutory authority to ensure law and
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: order in DC and to keep people safe. DC has
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: the fourth highest murder rate in America. It has a
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: higher murder rate then Bogota, Colombia, has a higher murder
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: rate than Mexico City. The murder rate in Washington, d C.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Is six times the murder rate in New York. And
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: yet leftist are furious that Trump is saying we're going
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: to stop murderers. And so what happened this week is
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: you had a leftist on the streets who saw a
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: federal law enforcement officers and in this case of Customs
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: and Border Patrol agent, and this leftist began jumping up
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: and down and screaming, screaming and cursing at him and
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: calling him a fascist, calling him a fascist. And if
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: you haven't seen the video, you got a picture. This
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: guy is jumping up and down, jumping up and down.
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: He's wearing a pink polo shirt and these incredibly tight
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: shorts that let me just say, it looks like a costume.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: And he's jumping up and down. He's behaving like a
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: five year old, and he's screaming and screaming at this
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: federal law enforcement agent. And then he's holding in his
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: hand a subway sandwich and he turns to walk away,
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: and then he turns around and he just throws as
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: hard as he can the subway sandwich into the chest
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: of the federal law enforcement officer. And then suddenly he realizes, oh,
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: maybe that was a mistake, and he turns around and
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: runs away. Well, federal law enforcement pursues him, they catch him,
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: and they arrest him. Now this is when the story changes.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Under Joe Biden, nothing would have happened. Under Barack Obama,
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: nothing would have happened. Well, under Donald Trump, he's being prosecuted.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: He's being prosecuted for a felony. It is a salt
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: to throw anything at someone. You don't have the right
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: to throw something. And even if it is a sandwich,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: which looks a sandwich is not a deadly item, but
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: it is a salt to throw it. And and what Pambondi,
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the Attorney General said, and what the US Attorney Ajanine
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: Piro said, is is we're going to protect law enforcement.
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: If you assault a law enforcement officer, you will be prosecuted,
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: you will go to jail. And then this is where
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: the case took a strange turn that this pink polo
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: clad jumping up and down nut case turns out he
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: was actually an employee of the Department of Justice, a
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: current employee, not now. Ben I used to work at
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: the DOJ. I've worked a lot of years in law enforcement.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: It is not complicated if you're an employee at the
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: Department of Justice to learn to treat federal law enforcement
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: agencies with respect. I got to say, I'm fifty four
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: years old. I've never had to restrain myself once from
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: a desire to assault a federal law enforcement officer. And
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: yet the left, they are so radicalized, they're so that
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: their worldview is so full of rage and anger that
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: that when they see a federal law enforcement officer, they're
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: to stop murderers. There to stop crime. This DOJ employee
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: entered into Sandwich gate.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: And I will say I did laugh out loud at
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Janeine Pio when you put out a video saying, well, uh,
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: he may have to stick that sandwich somewhere else instead,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: which it was. It was good suttle what she was saying,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: as they might say in the South, you know, stick
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: it somewhere the sun don't shine.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's nice to see that in Washington, d C.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Certainly in the trum administration, they're not messing around anymore.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: They're going after these uh criminals.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: And also your dad was a cop. I mean, how
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: glad are you to see an administration that defends cops
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: and says you can't assault them.
• 26:46
