Democrats Stand by The Terrorists Demanding a Ceasefire · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Democrats. Yeah, they're not really into helping Israel anymore. They'd
0:04
Speaker 1: rather stand by the Palestinians and Hamas Terras as well
0:07
Speaker 1: as Iran. But when it comes to Ukraine, they're all
0:12
Speaker 1: about sending more money to that dictator and that tyrant.
0:15
Speaker 1: Now why am I calling Zelensky a dictator. Well, let's
0:20
Speaker 1: just look at the most recent thing that has come
0:23
Speaker 1: down the pipe, and that is Zelenski saying it would
0:26
Speaker 1: be quote unquote absolutely irresponsible to even suggest holding elections
0:33
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. The Ukrainian president is suspending elections, as he
0:38
Speaker 1: told his citizens in a nightly address on Monday, the
0:42
Speaker 1: discussions about the schedule twenty twenty four president's election in
0:45
Speaker 1: his country were quote absolutely irresponsible in light of the
0:49
Speaker 1: ongoing Russian invasion of his country. Zelenski became president after
0:54
Speaker 1: winning the twenty nineteen election as the pro Russian candidate
0:59
Speaker 1: against the establishment pro West incumbent Porshenko. The current president's
1:05
Speaker 1: approval rating had declined significantly in twenty twenty in response
1:08
Speaker 1: to his perceived poor response to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic,
1:13
Speaker 1: but skyrocketed in response to the Russian Special operation to
1:16
Speaker 1: oust Tim that began in February of twenty twenty one.
1:21
Speaker 1: Zelenski's presidential terms scheduled to end in twenty twenty four,
1:25
Speaker 1: but as Ukraine is currently in a state of martial law,
1:28
Speaker 1: it is unconstitutional to hold a presidential race. He says,
1:34
Speaker 1: Now here's the part that will really irc you. Zelensky
1:37
Speaker 1: had previously said he stated that look, all right, hey,
1:41
Speaker 1: I'll be open to holding elections only if Western countries
1:46
Speaker 1: aka the United States of America paid for the election
1:50
Speaker 1: to take place in Ukraine.
1:53
Speaker 2: His top diplomat had suggested.
1:56
Speaker 1: Kiev was open to a presidential election this year, as
1:59
Speaker 1: recently a November II, but in his address to the
2:03
Speaker 1: country on Monday, Zelensky expressed frustration with those in his
2:07
Speaker 1: country discussing if an election next year is possible or
2:12
Speaker 1: anything aside from ousting the Russian military from Ukrainian soil,
2:16
Speaker 1: saying until that happens, I'm still in charge.
2:20
Speaker 2: Quote.
2:21
Speaker 1: Now, everyone should think about defending our country. We need
2:25
Speaker 1: to pull ourselves together, avoid unwinding and splitting up into
2:29
Speaker 1: disputes over other priorities. Zelensky stated, if there is no victory,
2:35
Speaker 1: there will be no country. He says, our victory is possible.
2:40
Speaker 1: It will come if we all focus on it, not
2:43
Speaker 1: on politicking or searching for some personal interests, not on
2:48
Speaker 1: disagreements that will do nothing for the country defense and
2:52
Speaker 1: our advancement. Everyone, he said, should remember what is most
2:57
Speaker 1: important in Ukraine right now. The enemy is insane, it
3:01
Speaker 1: is powerful, and it wants to destroy Ukraine, just as
3:04
Speaker 1: it has always wanted to do. On the issue of elections,
3:07
Speaker 1: Zolensky explicitly stated, now is not the time for grand
3:11
Speaker 1: celebrations or other brazen things in the rear, which are
3:16
Speaker 1: unacceptable in times of war. We all understand that now,
3:21
Speaker 1: in wartime, when there are so many challenges, it is
3:24
Speaker 1: absolutely irresponsible to throw the topic of elections into society
3:28
Speaker 1: in a lighthearted and playful way. So now, if you
3:33
Speaker 1: even say or believe that there should be an election,
3:36
Speaker 1: well you are somehow.
3:37
Speaker 2: Not serving the people.
3:38
Speaker 1: Well, you're not serving your friends, Well, you're not serving
3:40
Speaker 1: your country.
3:41
Speaker 2: Well.
3:41
Speaker 1: In fact, what you're doing is absolutely terrible. It's a
3:44
Speaker 1: playful way, and it's lighthearted, and it's not authentic and
3:48
Speaker 1: it's not real. That is now what Zelensky is saying.
3:53
Speaker 1: I believe that now is not the right time for elections.
3:57
Speaker 1: He repeated later in his address, and if we need
3:59
Speaker 1: to put an end to a political dispute and contain
4:02
Speaker 1: to work in unity, there are structures in the state
4:06
Speaker 1: that are capable of putting an end to it and
4:08
Speaker 1: giving society all the necessary answers. Now you look at
4:14
Speaker 1: what Zelensky's doing. This is a war that could go
4:18
Speaker 1: on for years and years and years. And if you
4:19
Speaker 1: use his logic, what he's saying is is I'm in
4:22
Speaker 1: charge on the dictator, and I'm going to claim that
4:26
Speaker 1: it's not my fault, it's Russia's fault.
4:28
Speaker 2: So I'm going to control power in this country. What
4:31
Speaker 2: does it also mean.
4:31
Speaker 1: It means he controls all the humanitarian aid and all
4:34
Speaker 1: the funding that is coming to Ukraine, all the money
4:38
Speaker 1: that is going to his friends and the other oligarchs.
4:40
Speaker 2: He also controls that as well.
4:43
Speaker 1: That's the reason why he says, quote, I believe that
4:45
Speaker 1: now is not the right time for elections, that he
4:47
Speaker 1: repeated in that address multiple times.
4:51
Speaker 2: Here's something else. It's interesting.
4:53
Speaker 1: Zelensky's strident opposition to a presidential campaign occurring in anticipation
4:59
Speaker 1: of the sched twenty twenty four election is a slightly
5:02
Speaker 1: more rigid stance and the president had taken in August
5:06
Speaker 1: why well. When discussing the possibility of elections in an interview,
5:10
Speaker 1: then Zelenski insisted that the true obstacles to holding elections
5:14
Speaker 1: were the need for defense funding and the disbursement of
5:18
Speaker 1: the Ukrainian population across Europe in response to the war.
5:21
Speaker 1: He suggested holding elections so long as it did not
5:24
Speaker 1: have to pay for them, saying, you got to pay
5:26
Speaker 1: for him if you want him so bad, but my
5:27
Speaker 1: country's not. I told Sener Lindsay Graham of the United
5:31
Speaker 1: States and Europe give us financial support, I'm sorry.
5:33
Speaker 2: I will not hold elections on credit.
5:36
Speaker 1: I will not take money from weapons and give it
5:38
Speaker 1: to elections either, a Zelenski said at the time. So,
5:41
Speaker 1: in other words, you have to Once I'm the president,
5:44
Speaker 1: I'm always the president. As long as there is a
5:46
Speaker 1: war that is going on, that's pretty messed up. Can
5:50
Speaker 1: we all agree that that's pretty manipulative, Because then the
5:53
Speaker 1: question is does he ever really want the war to end?
5:56
Speaker 1: Does he ever really want the war to stop? Does
5:58
Speaker 1: he ever really want any of this to happen? I
6:03
Speaker 1: would argue, no, he really doesn't. That's number one, Number
6:09
Speaker 1: two and This is even more important part here, Where
6:12
Speaker 1: is the money going that we are sending them?
6:15
Speaker 2: No one seems to be able to answer that question.
6:17
Speaker 1: We know that people have been fired in and around him,
6:20
Speaker 1: and the reason why they were fired in and around
6:23
Speaker 1: him is because of the corruption. We know that people
6:29
Speaker 1: are getting rich. We know people are making an incredible
6:32
Speaker 1: amount of cash off of Zelenski and the money that's
6:36
Speaker 1: coming in. In fact, they haven't been able to answer
6:39
Speaker 1: questions about countless amounts of money, millions and millions and
6:43
Speaker 1: millions and millions of dollars okay, that have come in
6:48
Speaker 1: that into the country that now have gone missing. You
6:51
Speaker 1: put all of this together, and what I know is
6:55
Speaker 1: that this is corruption at its highest level. Sky doesn't
7:01
Speaker 1: want to have an election because he says he can't
7:03
Speaker 1: afford it, and he says, if you want it, right,
7:06
Speaker 1: if you want this election, then you you better pay
7:09
Speaker 1: for it.
7:09
Speaker 3: Now.
7:10
Speaker 1: Let me also remind you something else about Zelensky. Zelensky
7:14
Speaker 1: and the media are one of the same right now.
7:16
Speaker 1: The Ukrainian media in fact edited Zelenski's and he got
7:20
Speaker 1: busted for this. You in speech that he made recently
7:23
Speaker 1: at the U End Listen, what a couple weeks ago
7:26
Speaker 1: to look like.
7:27
Speaker 2: He had a bigger audience.
7:29
Speaker 1: The problem is they forgot to edit out Zelenski himself
7:31
Speaker 1: sitting in the audience when they edited the video, which
7:35
Speaker 1: is just hilarious. Zelensky is seen in the video looking
7:40
Speaker 1: at Zelensky on stage. Now, the room was filled earlier
7:44
Speaker 1: in the day. But many in the world are done
7:46
Speaker 1: with Zelenski and are not going to sit around waiting
7:49
Speaker 1: to hear him speak. His time, as some have said,
7:52
Speaker 1: has passed right happy, this is old news. There are
7:56
Speaker 1: many that look at him and they're like now bothered
7:58
Speaker 1: by him because he's constantly walking around and begging for
8:01
Speaker 1: more money, and people know that that money is going
8:04
Speaker 1: to the Ukrainian oligarchs, many of them in Poland in
8:07
Speaker 1: five star resorts. So now Zelenski's saying, Okay, I don't
8:12
Speaker 1: have to have an election. I get to keep total
8:15
Speaker 1: control of my country. I get to stay in charge
8:19
Speaker 1: as long as Russia is here. I get to control
8:21
Speaker 1: the money as long as Russia is here. Not a
8:25
Speaker 1: bad deal if you were Zelenski. What this does mean
8:30
Speaker 1: is this, Why would we send money to a dictator
8:34
Speaker 1: who is refusing to have elections? Why would we send
8:39
Speaker 1: money to an individual that doesn't believe in elections to
8:42
Speaker 1: the point where he says, if you want me to
8:45
Speaker 1: have them, you pay for them. Why would we be
8:48
Speaker 1: sending aid in support to a tyrant like this, Because
8:52
Speaker 1: this is what dictators and tyrants do when they sees power,
8:56
Speaker 1: when they sees control. These are the questions that must
8:59
Speaker 1: be answered. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been America's
9:03
Speaker 1: only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say the
9:07
Speaker 1: only one, I mean it. They're the only one. They
9:10
Speaker 1: make a huge difference every time that you pay your
9:12
Speaker 1: bill because they actually get back to conservative causes and
9:15
Speaker 1: organizations to help you stand up for what you believe
9:20
Speaker 1: in while you're paying a bill you're going to have anyways.
9:23
Speaker 1: This is the part that I love about Patriot Mobile.
9:26
Speaker 1: They're making a difference every time you pay your bill,
9:29
Speaker 1: every time you make a phone call, every time that
9:33
Speaker 1: you send a text message. Patriot Mobile actually gives money
9:37
Speaker 1: back to protect First and Second Amendment rights, to protect
9:41
Speaker 1: the lives of unborn children. And that's what they're doing
9:44
Speaker 1: right now is they celebrate their tenth anniversary. If you
9:48
Speaker 1: switch right now to Patriot Mobile, they are going to
9:50
Speaker 1: give a donation to help protect life and to help
9:54
Speaker 1: mothers choose life to an organization that does everything they
9:59
Speaker 1: can to protect the lives of unborn children. Then every
10:03
Speaker 1: month when you pay your bill, they're going to continue
10:05
Speaker 1: to support the causes that I just mentioned. And this
10:08
Speaker 1: is exactly why you need to make the switch. If
10:12
Speaker 1: you're tired of woke companies, switch your cell phone to
10:16
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Whether you are a business, a small business,
10:20
Speaker 1: or just a family, you can switch, and they make
10:22
Speaker 1: switching easy. They have a one hundred percent US based
10:26
Speaker 1: call center making switching extremely easy. You're going to get
10:29
Speaker 1: nationwide coverage, unlimited talking texts, and usually save real money
10:33
Speaker 1: on your bill. Nine seven to two Patriot. It's nine
10:37
Speaker 1: seven to two Patriot, nine seven to two Patriot. Or
10:41
Speaker 1: go online to Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben that's
10:44
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ben or nine seven to
10:48
Speaker 1: two Patriot. I want to switch now to another important topic,
10:54
Speaker 1: especially with what's happening in Israel right now, and it
10:58
Speaker 1: deals with the Biden administration. The administration right now has
11:01
Speaker 1: got some real problems. Their problem is the fact that
11:04
Speaker 1: they have a president that's underwater and Democrats are trying
11:07
Speaker 1: to figure out how to get rid of him.
11:08
Speaker 2: Now.
11:09
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about that in a minute. But
11:11
Speaker 1: there's a warning, a warning that's now coming from the
11:14
Speaker 1: Governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, saying that his greatest concern
11:19
Speaker 1: is the US could see an attack like what happened
11:22
Speaker 1: in Israel. I want you to hear what he had
11:24
Speaker 1: to say, as the FBI has come out and the
11:27
Speaker 1: FBI is warning that AMAS attacks are raising their terro
11:33
Speaker 1: risks in the US. This is official warning that has
11:36
Speaker 1: come out from the FBI.
11:38
Speaker 4: Listen, I wanted to talk more with you about the
11:41
Speaker 4: threat that people in this country are facing as a
11:43
Speaker 4: result of what's going on in the Middle East, which
11:46
Speaker 4: really has been embodied by the arrest of Soheib Bulayosh.
11:51
Speaker 4: He is a twenty year old Jordanian Palestinian who was
11:53
Speaker 4: there in Texas. He had been in the country illegally,
11:56
Speaker 4: according to the US Attorney's Office for the Southern District
11:59
Speaker 4: of Texas, illegally in possession of a firearm, and according
12:02
Speaker 4: to a press release on the indictment, he has allegedly
12:05
Speaker 4: been in direct contact with others who share a radical
12:08
Speaker 4: mindset That charges against him further a ledge, he's been
12:11
Speaker 4: conducting physical training and has trained with weapons to possibly
12:15
Speaker 4: commit an attack. It's believed by the FBI that he
12:18
Speaker 4: was going to attack a Jewish center or something like that.
12:23
Speaker 4: This would seem to be the embodiment governor of everything
12:26
Speaker 4: that critics of immigration have been warning about.
12:29
Speaker 5: Well, John, it is is that, and also clearly both
12:33
Speaker 5: the potential hate crime as well as a clear act
12:36
Speaker 5: of anti Semitism, and it's on the rise ever since
12:40
Speaker 5: the war began between Israel and Hamas. But also these
12:44
Speaker 5: threats begin even before that because of Joe Biden's upper
12:48
Speaker 5: border policies that would allow in potential terrorists like this.
12:52
Speaker 5: Know a couple of these facts. One is, under Joe Biden,
12:56
Speaker 5: there's been a record number of people on the terrorist
12:59
Speaker 5: watch list who have crossed the border.
13:01
Speaker 2: And those are the ones who have been apprehended.
13:03
Speaker 5: There are probably even far more who have not been apprehended,
13:07
Speaker 5: who evaded apprehension, who are roaming around the country. That
13:12
Speaker 5: is all because Joe Biden has failed in his responsibility
13:15
Speaker 5: as commander in chief to make sure we secure the
13:17
Speaker 5: United States of America.
13:18
Speaker 2: And he's failed in that.
13:20
Speaker 5: Regard by failing to secure the border.
13:22
Speaker 2: But also this.
13:23
Speaker 5: Particular individual is an extraordinary threat as well as others
13:27
Speaker 5: like him are extraordinary threats to our country because they've
13:30
Speaker 5: been able to get in under Joe Biden's oupen border
13:32
Speaker 5: policies and be able to create the type of chaos
13:35
Speaker 5: that terrorists are trying to achieve.
13:37
Speaker 4: So this individual apparently came into the country on a
13:40
Speaker 4: non immigrant visa which expired in twenty nineteen. It was
13:43
Speaker 4: in the country illegally after that, but then he applied
13:46
Speaker 4: for asylum and I guess he was allowed to stay
13:48
Speaker 4: in the country while his case was adjudicated. He also
13:52
Speaker 4: obtained a work permit and Governor just in the past
13:55
Speaker 4: fiscal year, we've seen nearly a million people released into
13:58
Speaker 4: this country. How many more potential So hey, a boy
14:01
Speaker 4: ashes might there be out there now?
14:06
Speaker 1: John?
14:06
Speaker 5: The fact is nobody knows, especially the President and the
14:11
Speaker 5: Homeland Security Department. They have no clue, And they will
14:14
Speaker 5: tell you they have no clue because, for one, they
14:18
Speaker 5: don't know who all the god aways are and where
14:20
Speaker 5: they are and whether or not they would be terrorists.
14:22
Speaker 5: For another, like this person you're talking about, he was
14:26
Speaker 5: here for a while in the one way, and now
14:27
Speaker 5: he's seeking asylum. Think how outrageous it is. Think how
14:31
Speaker 5: angry Americans are to know that we have a terrorist
14:35
Speaker 5: who was seeking asylum here. Listen, We've been we here
14:39
Speaker 5: in Texas have been trying to tell the public, under
14:42
Speaker 5: the entirety of the Biden administration that this asylum is
14:44
Speaker 5: seeking process that Joe Biden is allowing is doing nothing
14:48
Speaker 5: but emboldening terrorists to come across their border as well
14:51
Speaker 5: as allowing them a pathway to actually be here in
14:54
Speaker 5: the United States of America. And my greatest concern is
14:58
Speaker 5: because of Joe Biden's policies, we can see here in
15:01
Speaker 5: the United States exactly the type of attack that we
15:04
Speaker 5: saw occur in Israel.
15:06
Speaker 1: If you just sit there and you think about what
15:09
Speaker 1: was just told to you, you have terrorists that are
15:12
Speaker 1: helping plan terrast attacks that are in this country.
15:16
Speaker 2: That's what he just told you.
15:17
Speaker 1: And now warning from the FBI about this type of attack,
15:21
Speaker 1: a Tamas style attack in America. This is the Biden
15:26
Speaker 1: administration released migrant charged with human smuggling near the Canada
15:31
Speaker 1: Vermont border. This as photo show migrants forcing way through
15:37
Speaker 1: Texas border barriers over the weekend, and Abbott has just
15:42
Speaker 1: busts sixty three thousand migrants to quote sanctuary cities. What
15:49
Speaker 1: does this mean, Well, let's just take a look at
15:51
Speaker 1: the last big story. Single group of one thousand, two
15:56
Speaker 1: hundred migrants surge across Arizona's border overnight. According to sources
16:03
Speaker 1: with the Customs of Border Protection, the Tucson sector border
16:06
Speaker 1: patrol agents apprehended a single group of migrants across the
16:09
Speaker 1: US Mexico border in Arizona in San Miguall, Arizona. Initial
16:13
Speaker 1: head count the crossing scene showed the group consisted of
16:17
Speaker 1: one thousand, two hundred migrants from across the globe, mostly
16:21
Speaker 1: middle military age men without children. This group is one
16:29
Speaker 1: of two groups large groups of more than one thousand
16:32
Speaker 1: migrants across the border near San Miguel since November the first.
16:38
Speaker 1: The small census designated area of sam Miguil is now
16:41
Speaker 1: one of the busiest crossing points for large migrant groups
16:45
Speaker 1: in the Tucson Border Patrol sector. The small community is
16:50
Speaker 1: home to roughly two hundred and seven inhabitants as of
16:53
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty census. According to sources not authorized to
16:57
Speaker 1: speak to the media. The recent large group of my
16:59
Speaker 1: migrants are merely surrendering to border patrol agents and hopes
17:03
Speaker 1: of getting released in the United States of America to
17:05
Speaker 1: pursue asylum claims. The source also said that most of
17:10
Speaker 1: the migrants arrested will likely achieve that goal and be
17:14
Speaker 1: released to non government migrant shelters in the coming days.
17:20
Speaker 1: How much money did the cartel just make off of
17:24
Speaker 1: one two hundred people? Hundreds of thousands is the estimate. Quote.
17:31
Speaker 2: There's just no more room at the end, is what
17:34
Speaker 2: they said.
17:35
Speaker 1: There's no mechanism in place to remove them to their
17:38
Speaker 1: home countries fast enough. We're overwhelmed. That is what local
17:42
Speaker 1: law enforcement said. All the more, the two thousand migrants
17:47
Speaker 1: that were apprehended within the Tucson sector, they don't have
17:51
Speaker 1: beds for them. To make things worse, Since October, the
17:55
Speaker 1: first more than sixty thousand illegal immigrants of poor into
18:00
Speaker 1: the United States of America in the Tucson sector alone,
18:03
Speaker 1: making it the busiest sector in the nation. According to sources.
18:08
Speaker 1: Sam Miguel is just one crossing point located within the sector,
18:11
Speaker 1: experiencing a massive surge of migrant crossings and a massive
18:15
Speaker 1: surge of migrant crossings in large groups. Arizona, for example,
18:21
Speaker 1: Lugville recently had multiple large groups of migrants crossing into
18:26
Speaker 1: the United States of America on an orderly daily basis.
18:31
Speaker 1: The migrant groups who's in them? They consisted of nationals
18:35
Speaker 1: from the Republic of China, India, Pakistan, the Islamic Republic
18:42
Speaker 1: of Iran, and a host of other migrants from across
18:45
Speaker 1: the globe. This large group that happened in Arizona was
18:51
Speaker 1: transported to a nearby soft sided border patrol processing facility
18:55
Speaker 1: in Tucson. The facility has recently been renovated to a
18:59
Speaker 1: common the increase in migrant apprehensions within the sector. Its
19:04
Speaker 1: initial operating costs was more than seven million of your
19:08
Speaker 1: tax dollars per month for this one station. The total
19:13
Speaker 1: value of the contract for the facility built in twenty
19:16
Speaker 1: twenty one, just so you know how much people are
19:18
Speaker 1: making in America off legal immigration, was more than one
19:21
Speaker 1: hundred million dollars. Due to capacity issues and a migrant
19:25
Speaker 1: surge that is only worsened, sources say the monthly operational
19:28
Speaker 1: costs of nearly doubled since the expansion projects. So you're
19:32
Speaker 1: spending one hundred million dollars for the project and then
19:35
Speaker 1: seven million dollars a month.
19:38
Speaker 2: That's how much.
19:38
Speaker 1: Money you are spending right now as a tax payer.
19:44
Speaker 1: And then comes the FBI warning. This FBI warning tells
19:49
Speaker 1: every American that there are a tax that could absolutely happen.
19:54
Speaker 2: Wow.
19:55
Speaker 1: There has not been a lot of coverage on this
19:58
Speaker 1: by national media because they want to because they know
20:01
Speaker 1: that it will be just so damning of Democrats if
20:03
Speaker 1: there's a terarist attack that happens, and of course we
20:06
Speaker 1: find out they came across our southern border. If there's
20:08
Speaker 1: a Hamas style attack in America and this president is
20:12
Speaker 1: held accountable for it, the Democratic Party for having a
20:14
Speaker 1: wide open border, they understand it.
20:17
Speaker 2: Now.
20:17
Speaker 1: Local news, by the way, is looking at this completely
20:20
Speaker 1: differently because they're actually telling people what they need to know.
20:25
Speaker 2: I'm going to play for you KTLA channel five.
20:28
Speaker 1: All right, this is in LA, and this is their
20:31
Speaker 1: warning to their viewers about this new FBI warning.
20:35
Speaker 3: The FBI director says the threat of terrorism against Americans
20:39
Speaker 3: has been elevated all year, but the war between Israel
20:42
Speaker 3: and Hamas is now pushing it to levels possibly.
20:46
Speaker 2: Not seen since nine to eleven.
20:51
Speaker 3: Israel and Gaza may be half a world away, but
20:55
Speaker 3: the ripple effects of the war between Israel and Hamas
20:58
Speaker 3: the Palestinian Terrors group which controls Gaza may be felt
21:02
Speaker 3: as close as your doorstep. In fact, it's already happening today.
21:09
Speaker 3: A new warning from the head of the FBI.
21:12
Speaker 6: We definitely believe that there is a heightened risk of
21:14
Speaker 6: potential violence here in the US, especially from law and
21:19
Speaker 6: actors inspired by any number of foreign terrorist organizations or
21:23
Speaker 6: by domestic ideologies in some way using the conflict as
21:29
Speaker 6: an excuse or a justification, as horrendous and misguided as
21:33
Speaker 6: that would be to conduct attacks here against Jewish Americans,
21:38
Speaker 6: Muslim Americans, Arab Americans, etc.
21:40
Speaker 3: Christopher Ray spoke before the Senate Homeland Security Committee Tuesday morning.
21:45
Speaker 3: He explained law enforcement officials in the United States already
21:49
Speaker 3: are seeing an increase in reports of threats, including bomb
21:53
Speaker 3: threats against synagogues and physical assaults on individuals. He noted
21:57
Speaker 3: the murder of a six year old Muslim boy Chicago
22:01
Speaker 3: now being investigated as a federal hate crime.
22:04
Speaker 6: Foreign terrorist organizations have called for attacks against Americans and
22:09
Speaker 6: the West. Al Qaeda issued its most specific call to
22:13
Speaker 6: attack the United States in the last five years.
22:17
Speaker 2: Certainly, everyone has to be vigilant.
22:19
Speaker 3: Professor Brian Levin founded the Center for the Study of
22:22
Speaker 3: Hate and Extremism at cal State University San Bernardino. Levin
22:27
Speaker 3: says in Los Angeles alone, hate crimes against Jews are
22:31
Speaker 3: up one hundred and seventy five percent from this time
22:34
Speaker 3: last year, and hate crimes against Muslims in Los Angeles
22:38
Speaker 3: are up a whopping seven hundred percent in the last year.
22:42
Speaker 3: Bottom line, everyone needs to stay vigilant. If you see
22:46
Speaker 3: something suspicious, say something.
22:48
Speaker 2: When we stand together, it shows the haters that they
22:52
Speaker 2: do not speak for our city.
22:56
Speaker 1: Wouldn't be nice if the mainstream media covered this the
22:59
Speaker 1: same way that local media just covered this. It really
23:03
Speaker 1: would be impressive, wouldn't it. Wouldn't it be nice if
23:06
Speaker 1: they gave you this type of briefing and said that
23:09
Speaker 1: there's a real problem here and if you see something,
23:11
Speaker 1: say something like that would be incredible. But that's not
23:14
Speaker 1: what's happening here. Local media is doing this because they're
23:19
Speaker 1: not stupid. Local media understands that this threat here is significant.
23:25
Speaker 1: The FBI is urging Americans to not only say vigilant,
23:33
Speaker 1: but they believe that the increase threat of violence in
23:37
Speaker 1: the wake of this Israeli attack is putting us on
23:40
Speaker 1: a level that we have not seen since nine eleven.
23:46
Speaker 1: Since nine eleven, folks, the FBI's warning of the increased
23:50
Speaker 1: threats of violence in the wake of this war, saying
23:53
Speaker 1: that they haven't seen something this bad since nine eleven.
23:57
Speaker 2: NBC News this is how they covered it.
24:00
Speaker 7: Listen for more on the security situation. I want to
24:03
Speaker 7: bring an NBC News investigative correspondent Tom Winter. Tom, you
24:06
Speaker 7: heard the FBI director's statement in that piece about the
24:09
Speaker 7: real threat? How real are these threats and what are
24:13
Speaker 7: they looking at?
24:14
Speaker 8: Well, that's exactly what law enforcement and Joined Terrorism Task
24:16
Speaker 8: Force all across this country are focused on right now,
24:19
Speaker 8: which is Number one, is this individual capable of doing
24:22
Speaker 8: the types of things that they might be talking about
24:24
Speaker 8: online talking to friends about how credible is this individual
24:27
Speaker 8: they might go and visit it. There's going to be
24:29
Speaker 8: a lot of law enforcement investigative steps to address the
24:32
Speaker 8: Director's point as these threats rise. And anybody who's had
24:35
Speaker 8: a whiff of the Internet over the past seven days
24:37
Speaker 8: knows that the rhetoric on the ArKade is so strong
24:40
Speaker 8: on this issue. So they're definitely focused on this and
24:43
Speaker 8: trying to determine if any of these people trip the
24:45
Speaker 8: wire and need to be arrested.
24:48
Speaker 1: Now, if you're taking these threat assessments seriously from the FBI,
24:53
Speaker 1: the question is why from the Biden administration taking them
24:56
Speaker 1: seriously when it's their own FBI director that's giving these warnings.
25:00
Speaker 1: Why isn't mayarchis in the Department of Homeland Security taking
25:04
Speaker 1: these threats seriously? Because if you look at what's happened
25:08
Speaker 1: since Christopher Ray said that we have a threat level
25:11
Speaker 1: we haven't seen since nine to eleven, my archists sure
25:15
Speaker 1: didn't seem to not only care, but literally just didn't
25:18
Speaker 1: even acknowledge that this was even an issue. There was
25:21
Speaker 1: an article written it says, my archis ignores warnings from
25:24
Speaker 1: FBI Director Ray that danger has reached the whole other level.
25:28
Speaker 1: This is the guy who's supposed to be protecting the border, says.
25:31
Speaker 1: Last Tuesday, FBI Director Ray appeared before the United States
25:34
Speaker 1: homemand Security Committee to testify about the threat of terror
25:36
Speaker 1: facing the United States of America. The director did not
25:39
Speaker 1: sugarcoat the gravity of the dangers the country faces, saying
25:42
Speaker 1: the reality is that the terrorism threat has been elevated
25:47
Speaker 1: throughout the entire twenty twenty three year, but the ongoing
25:51
Speaker 1: war in the Middle East has raised the threat of
25:53
Speaker 1: an attack against Americas, the United States of America to
25:56
Speaker 1: a whole other level. The Senate hearing was not the
26:00
Speaker 1: first time, by the way, that Christopher Ray had warned
26:02
Speaker 1: about the heightened dangers of jihadist groups striking against America interests,
26:06
Speaker 1: around the world or on our homeland. Nor is he
26:10
Speaker 1: the only security experts sewning the alarm. Ten days earlier,
26:13
Speaker 1: the San Diego Field Office Intelligence Division of Customs and
26:17
Speaker 1: Border Protections, so that's not the FBI warned that their
26:21
Speaker 1: intelligence indicated that individuals with ties to terror groups could
26:25
Speaker 1: attempt to enter the United States of America across our
26:28
Speaker 1: southern border. The specific groups cited by the San Diego
26:32
Speaker 1: Office were Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and Hesblah, all classified
26:39
Speaker 1: as terror groups by our government. The San Diego Field
26:43
Speaker 1: Office Intelligence Unit assesses that individuals inspired by or reacting
26:50
Speaker 1: to the current Israeli Hamas conflict may attempt to travel
26:54
Speaker 1: to or from the area of hostilities in the Middle
26:57
Speaker 1: East via trans across the southern border. The memo states
27:03
Speaker 1: foreign fighters motivated by ideology or mercenary soldiers of fortune
27:09
Speaker 1: may attempt to travel to or from the United States
27:13
Speaker 1: from other countries in the Middle East through Mexico, the
27:16
Speaker 1: unit added. One day after Director Ray testified before the
27:20
Speaker 1: Senate Homland Security Committee, it was the Homeland Security Secretary
27:23
Speaker 1: of Majorcis turned to appear before the committee. In contrast
27:26
Speaker 1: to raised sense of urgency that the San Diego Field
27:30
Speaker 1: Office used that unit use Mayorciss well he was complacent
27:35
Speaker 1: about the threats facing this country. During questioning by members
27:38
Speaker 1: of the committee, Senator Roger Marshall, a Republican from Kansas,
27:42
Speaker 1: ask Secretary of my orchis approximately how many legal aliens
27:45
Speaker 1: in this country or here on asylum have direct ties
27:49
Speaker 1: to Amas, to Hesbelah, to Islamic jihad or to the
27:53
Speaker 1: Islamic Revolutionary Guard in Iran.
27:58
Speaker 2: Has been typical with my orchis.
27:59
Speaker 1: When as provide specific information that he should know and
28:03
Speaker 1: be prepared to provide, the Secretary was once again non responsive.
28:08
Speaker 1: Senator Marshall, let me assure you that the individuals that
28:11
Speaker 1: pose a risk to our national security are of our
28:14
Speaker 1: highest enforcement priority, the safety and security of the American public.
28:19
Speaker 1: Manarchus replied to that direct question, follow up questions were
28:22
Speaker 1: equally well a joke to him and enlisting any sort
28:26
Speaker 1: of response that might actually be assuring to members the
28:29
Speaker 1: committee and to the American people. And on the same
28:33
Speaker 1: day that Marcus was well basically saying I don't have
28:36
Speaker 1: to answer his questions and I don't care, and everybody
28:38
Speaker 1: calmed down, inducking these important questions about how to prepare
28:42
Speaker 1: or how to protect us from a Arrist attacking the
28:44
Speaker 1: United States of America. We also know that a ram's
28:49
Speaker 1: Supreme leader posted a tweet assuring us and the rest
28:53
Speaker 1: of the world that inflicting damage on the United States
28:56
Speaker 1: and other Western nations is very much part of their plans.
29:00
Speaker 1: What did the leaders say? The Supreme leader in a
29:03
Speaker 1: Ran say on Twitter quote, the Muslim world mustn't forget
29:08
Speaker 1: it was the US, France and Britain that stood against
29:10
Speaker 1: Islam and oppressed Palestinians. The Muslim world must realize this
29:16
Speaker 1: isn't just about these Zonish regimes and must also consider
29:20
Speaker 1: those countries in their dealings, aliases and equations.
29:26
Speaker 2: So what is the IATOA saying there?
29:29
Speaker 1: He's saying, go kill any American or any of these
29:31
Speaker 1: British people from France anywhere you can find them in
29:35
Speaker 1: the world. He's calling for jihad and what is our
29:40
Speaker 1: guy doing at the border?
29:41
Speaker 2: Not a damn thing.
