Speaker 1: Welcome in is Verdical Center. Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
0:05
Speaker 1: It's nice to have you with us on this Monday
0:07
Speaker 1: wherever you are listening, and we have got a lot
0:10
Speaker 1: to cover in the show. We're going to take a
0:11
Speaker 1: deep dive center into Michigan, Maine and a shocking CBS
0:15
Speaker 1: poll that should worry every American.
0:18
Speaker 2: Well.
0:18
Speaker 3: On Friday's podcast, we did a deep dive across the
0:20
Speaker 3: country of some of the radicals whom Democrats are nominating
0:24
Speaker 3: to run for Senate. We went through the records and
0:26
Speaker 3: we just played the receipts that that they're nominating Communists,
0:28
Speaker 3: they're nominating Islamist, They're nominating the most extreme slate of
0:33
Speaker 3: candidates I think that any party has ever nominated in
0:36
Speaker 3: American history. Friday's pod is chilling if you listen to it,
0:40
Speaker 3: and we're here today to say it wasn't nearly bad
0:44
Speaker 3: enough that what we thought we knew on Friday, everything
0:49
Speaker 3: has gotten worse by now, and we're going to do
0:52
Speaker 3: a deep dive into two in particular in the Michigan
0:55
Speaker 3: Abdul l Sied and Maine Troy Jay, both of them
1:02
Speaker 3: as bad as you thought it was, it's worse. We're
1:05
Speaker 3: going to come with the receipts right now, all of
1:07
Speaker 3: that on today's pod.
1:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, And the polling data is going to
1:11
Speaker 1: blow your mind. We're going to have that for you
1:13
Speaker 1: in a moment, and it is one that you're going
1:15
Speaker 1: to say, oh wow, that's where we are in America.
1:17
Speaker 2: Yeah.
1:18
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you real quick about how
1:20
Speaker 1: you can make a difference with a bill that you're
1:21
Speaker 1: going to have every month. Nine nine point nine percent
1:24
Speaker 1: of you have a cell phone. And if you think
1:25
Speaker 1: wireless companies are all the same, well then you need
1:28
Speaker 1: to take a look at Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile isn't
1:31
Speaker 1: just different because of its mission, it's actually built to
1:33
Speaker 1: outperform the other carriers as well. Now you get premium
1:38
Speaker 1: priority nationwide service. I just was in Alaska, in the
1:41
Speaker 1: middle of nowhere, Alaska. My Patriot Mobile coverage was phenomenal.
1:47
Speaker 1: And you can get service on any of the three
1:49
Speaker 1: major US networks. That means you get the best coverage
1:52
Speaker 1: wherever Life takes you, and Patriot Mobile you can even
1:55
Speaker 1: have two separate networks on a single device, eliminating the
1:58
Speaker 1: need to carry a multiple phone and also giving you
2:01
Speaker 1: peace of mind that you can get the coverage wherever
2:03
Speaker 1: you need it to be. Now, if you need internet
2:05
Speaker 1: and the go, Patriot Mobile's Wi Fi hotspots.
2:07
Speaker 2: They're amazing.
2:08
Speaker 1: They connect to multiple networks and that means you are
2:11
Speaker 1: connected while traveling or working remotely. They also offer international
2:15
Speaker 1: roaming and enterprise solutions and you get to keep your
2:17
Speaker 1: same number, keep your same phone, or upgrade. Now, the
2:20
Speaker 1: part I love about Patriot Mobile is this, they give
2:23
Speaker 1: millions of dollars a year and the extra costs to
2:25
Speaker 1: you back to conservative causes and organizations that fight for
2:28
Speaker 1: first and second Amenute rights, the rights of unborn children,
2:32
Speaker 1: and they support an advocate for our veterans who are
2:36
Speaker 1: in need. So make the switch. Go to Patriot Mobile
2:39
Speaker 1: dot com slash verdict. That's Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict
2:43
Speaker 1: or nine seven to two Patriot. And if you use
2:45
Speaker 1: the promo code vertict, you're gonna have free month of
2:47
Speaker 1: service Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict or nine seven to
2:51
Speaker 1: two Patriot. All right, Senator, so let's start with Michigan
2:54
Speaker 1: and what we learned, as you reference, when we thought
2:57
Speaker 1: it couldn't get any worse than it is.
2:59
Speaker 2: It does.
3:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta say right now, Comrade Bondami in New
3:04
Speaker 3: York is looking over in Michigan going, Wow, that guy
3:07
Speaker 3: is whacked out. He's extreme. I mean, it is this bad. Yeah,
3:12
Speaker 3: we played a bunch of clips on Friday. But I
3:14
Speaker 3: want to read this new headline to you because the
3:17
Speaker 3: headline sounds like something out of the Onion. Here's the headline.
3:22
Speaker 3: It's from the Free Beacon. Abdul el Sayed to headline
3:26
Speaker 3: Islamic event alongside Pakistani cleric who forced his thirteen year
3:33
Speaker 3: old niece into marriage. Was denounced for pedophilic rhetoric. Tariq
3:41
Speaker 3: Masoud urged his congregants to marry off their own female
3:45
Speaker 3: children and invoke Sharia law on the question of women's education.
3:49
Speaker 3: And let me just read a little bit of this
3:50
Speaker 3: because the facts are going to horrify you and blow
3:53
Speaker 3: you away. Michigan Senate Canada Abdul Elsayed will spend Labor
3:57
Speaker 3: Day weekend alongside a jew Pakistani cleric who has promoted
4:03
Speaker 3: anti Semitic conspiracy theories and admitted to forcing his thirteen
4:08
Speaker 3: year old niece into marriage. El Sayid is scheduled to
4:12
Speaker 3: speak at the Islamic Society of North America isna's annual
4:15
Speaker 3: convention held in Detroit from September fourth through seventh. Now,
4:19
Speaker 3: what is this group? ISNA? This group ISNA. His father
4:23
Speaker 3: in law, El Sayed's father in law was a founding
4:27
Speaker 3: member of ISNA. So this is a group El Saya
4:29
Speaker 3: it is very closely connected with. By the way, that
4:32
Speaker 3: same father in law, who was a founding member of ISNA,
4:36
Speaker 3: is El Sayed's single biggest super pack contributor, so he's
4:40
Speaker 3: bank rolling El Sayed's campaign. He was a founding member
4:43
Speaker 3: of ISNA, and ISNA is affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood.
4:49
Speaker 3: El say It is nonetheless speaking at their conference. He's
4:52
Speaker 3: speaking on a panel titled quote Cultivating God Awareness in
4:58
Speaker 3: a Turmoiled America. Now who is who is Tarik Masoud?
5:05
Speaker 3: He is an influential Pakistani cleric who's also on the
5:08
Speaker 3: ISNER roster speaking at the same conference. Masoud is a
5:13
Speaker 3: Mufti qualified to issue religious laws. He's scheduled to speak
5:17
Speaker 3: on a panel about avoiding mental illness in youth apparently
5:21
Speaker 3: by marrying them off at age thirteen, including how parents
5:25
Speaker 3: can quote prevent or minimize the impact of any trauma
5:30
Speaker 3: leading to a mental illness. According to multiple Pakistani media reports.
5:36
Speaker 3: Masoud in twenty twenty one admitted in a sermon that
5:40
Speaker 3: he forced his thirteen year old niece into marriage, and
5:44
Speaker 3: he advised his followers to do the same with their
5:48
Speaker 3: young female relatives. Masud also said it was a husband's
5:52
Speaker 3: decision whether or not his wife can go to college
5:56
Speaker 3: or must remain a housewife, citing Shariah. In twenty twenty four,
6:03
Speaker 3: Canadian activist urged the government to block Masoud's visa to
6:07
Speaker 3: the country over his quote pedophilic rhetoric. Not only that,
6:14
Speaker 3: but Masoud has had in extraordinary and hateful views about Jews.
6:18
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty four, he preached a sermon titled quote
6:22
Speaker 3: the Final Humiliation of the Jews, in which he said
6:27
Speaker 3: that Jews quote cunning minds had worked to bring the
6:32
Speaker 3: world under their control. Quote the Quran condemns Jews, and
6:38
Speaker 3: he adds not all Jews are the same, but he
6:41
Speaker 3: claims the amount of quote evil and turmoil among Jews
6:45
Speaker 3: was unmatched by any other community in the world. By
6:50
Speaker 3: the way, Masoud is moderating his panel with Sayid M.
6:54
Speaker 3: Tiaz Ahmad, who's the president of ista isna Is. Of course,
6:58
Speaker 3: the Muslim Brotherhood of affiliated organization that was founded in
7:02
Speaker 3: part by El Said's father in law. Now, given these facts,
7:07
Speaker 3: which are just beyond shocking, and by the way, nothing
7:11
Speaker 3: I've said is disputed, do you want to hear El
7:15
Speaker 3: Sayid's defense, what his response is to this.
7:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's truly amazing. So get ready and take notes,
7:21
Speaker 1: my friends.
7:22
Speaker 3: Okay, So, El Sayat's campaign does not deny that he's
7:25
Speaker 3: speaking at the conference. He does not deny that this
7:29
Speaker 3: pedophilic Jew hating, radical Sharia loving cleric who married his
7:36
Speaker 3: thirteen year old niece off and who urged others to
7:39
Speaker 3: marry their thirteen year old family members off as well.
7:43
Speaker 3: He doesn't deny any of that, doesn't deny they're at
7:44
Speaker 3: the same conference. Here's the campaign statement quote. Abdul is
7:49
Speaker 3: not affiliated with and does not endorse any other participant
7:53
Speaker 3: of the conference. He's scheduled to participate in a different
7:57
Speaker 3: panel at the ISNA conference to speak on unity and
8:02
Speaker 3: commitment to justice in public service.
8:07
Speaker 1: Holy crap, that's all you need, though, hold on devil's
8:12
Speaker 1: advocate here. It's not like he's speaking at the same conference,
8:15
Speaker 1: in the same stage and the same place where the
8:18
Speaker 1: same people are organized to her.
8:20
Speaker 3: Yes, it is. Yes, it is ha ha by the way,
8:23
Speaker 3: organized by his father in law.
8:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, by his father in law.
8:26
Speaker 1: It's not like it's all in the family here, Like,
8:28
Speaker 1: this is totally different. They're breathing basically separate air during
8:31
Speaker 1: the time they're on stage.
8:32
Speaker 2: Like, you got to give the guy a little bit
8:34
Speaker 2: of price.
8:35
Speaker 3: So I want to ask you, like, rewind and just
8:38
Speaker 3: listen to the last three minutes of this pod. Like
8:41
Speaker 3: it literally if the onion ranted, if SNL was willing
8:44
Speaker 3: to make fun of leftists, if SNL made fun of
8:47
Speaker 3: let's have a cleric who urges marrying off your your
8:50
Speaker 3: thirteen year old family members and saying women have no
8:53
Speaker 3: rights under Sharia law. The men control them. Like if
8:56
Speaker 3: you made that up, you'd say, come on, that's too extreme.
8:59
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy is the Democrat nominee for Senate
9:02
Speaker 3: in Michigan. Not a word of what I said does
9:07
Speaker 3: his campaign dispute. Their only argument is he's on a
9:10
Speaker 3: different panel, not his fault. Different panel. So a okay.
9:15
Speaker 1: By the way, you and I have been held a
9:17
Speaker 1: pretty intense scrutiny. If there's any conservative that says something
9:22
Speaker 1: that's remotely outside the norm or pushes anything and nothing
9:29
Speaker 1: compared to what you just described. You and I have
9:32
Speaker 1: spoken at very large comments like well you know so
9:35
Speaker 1: and so we hear as attending. Sometimes I'm speaking it's
9:38
Speaker 1: a one off, and I laugh because I'm like, man,
9:40
Speaker 1: if the Democrats and the media held the same standard,
9:43
Speaker 1: they try to do, like when I'm speaking of an
9:45
Speaker 1: event that's.
9:45
Speaker 2: A three day event, and I'm like, and it makes
9:47
Speaker 2: me laugh.
9:48
Speaker 3: And by the way, Ben Ben Ben, have you spoken
9:50
Speaker 3: at any conferences that are organized by a group founded
9:53
Speaker 3: by your father in law, who also happens to be
9:55
Speaker 3: the biggest owner to your super back.
9:57
Speaker 2: Yeah? No, no, never happened. And that's my point right there.
10:00
Speaker 3: This is not a one off. This is this is
10:04
Speaker 3: who he is. Okay, But it gets worse, all right.
10:08
Speaker 3: You've traveled with me all over the country and I
10:11
Speaker 3: make fun of how the media likes to make fun
10:13
Speaker 3: of Republicans. And one of the examples I give is
10:17
Speaker 3: I say a joke I tell online is look, the
10:20
Speaker 3: media says that Republicans, all Republicans, especially me, we live
10:27
Speaker 3: kittens at midnight under a full moon. And the joke
10:31
Speaker 3: I tell it at rallies is I say, look, that's
10:35
Speaker 3: ridiculous because everyone knows that kittens are breakfast food. Now
10:41
Speaker 3: that's a joke. That's a joke about how ridiculous attacks are.
10:47
Speaker 3: Here's the amazing thing that joke is almost true about
10:52
Speaker 3: Abdul el Sayed. I'm going to read to you a
10:55
Speaker 3: headline from the Daily Mail quote Abdul el Sayed oversaw
11:01
Speaker 3: animal slaughter house as over four thousand puppies and kittens
11:08
Speaker 3: killed under his watch.
11:10
Speaker 2: That's real.
11:12
Speaker 3: This guy has literally killed four thousand puppies and kittens.
11:16
Speaker 3: And here's the ar article, just to show that I'm
11:18
Speaker 3: not making this up. His record overseeing Detroit's troubled animal
11:22
Speaker 3: control system, which saw high rates of animal euthanasia, has
11:25
Speaker 3: received far less attention as he's campaigned. From twenty fifteen
11:29
Speaker 3: to twenty seventeen, Elsai had served as executive director and
11:32
Speaker 3: health Officer of the Detroit Health Department, a powerful post
11:35
Speaker 3: that put him over the city's animal control operation during
11:38
Speaker 3: some of its darkest days. In a twenty seventeen ABC
11:42
Speaker 3: News profile of his bid for governor, Elsai had pointed
11:45
Speaker 3: to his record as Detroit's health director, boasting that his
11:47
Speaker 3: team had quote rebuilt the animal control system, But according
11:52
Speaker 3: to records obtained by The Daily Mail, nearly four thousand,
11:56
Speaker 3: six hundred and eighty dogs and cats were euthanized by
12:02
Speaker 3: Detroit Animal Care and Control during the period when El
12:05
Speaker 3: Sayed was in his post. The twenty fifteen numbers were
12:08
Speaker 3: particularly stark. In that single year, the dACC euthanized one
12:14
Speaker 3: nine hundred and eighty eight dogs and two hundred and
12:16
Speaker 3: seventy two cats. This figure represented twenty six point four
12:22
Speaker 3: percent of all dogs euthanized in the country. I want
12:28
Speaker 3: yeah say that again, please, because look I could see
12:30
Speaker 3: someone listening going, well, okay, well, that's not fair. If
12:33
Speaker 3: he's running animal control, I guess that's part of what
12:35
Speaker 3: animal control does is euthanized animals. Let me read this again.
12:39
Speaker 3: When he was running Michigan's animal control, the one thousand,
12:44
Speaker 3: nine hundred and eighty eight dogs that he was responsible
12:47
Speaker 3: for killing represented twenty six point four percent of all
12:52
Speaker 3: dogs euthanized across the country. That is stunning. And I
13:00
Speaker 3: got a one question for you, where's Peter. Is Peter
13:04
Speaker 3: protesting him as Peter said a word, or is Peter
13:08
Speaker 3: simply going to be partisan and say, okay, he's a Democrat,
13:12
Speaker 3: so we don't care if he killed a quarter of
13:15
Speaker 3: all the dogs killed in the country in one year,
13:18
Speaker 3: because we support democrats. I would love to see Pete
13:21
Speaker 3: show up in protest. I'm not gonna hold my breath,
13:23
Speaker 3: but it is fairly amazing.
13:25
Speaker 1: And by the way, the dog catcher jokes and politics
13:28
Speaker 1: now actually work in this scenario. So that's the one
13:31
Speaker 1: perk out of this.
13:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, by the way, here's some of the some of
13:37
Speaker 3: the totals. The dACC had only about a twenty percent
13:42
Speaker 3: save slash live release rate in twenty fifteen, according to
13:46
Speaker 3: animal rescue site Best Friends, meaning roughly eighty percent of
13:50
Speaker 3: animals were not released alive. So in twenty sixteen it improved.
13:56
Speaker 3: It bumped up to sixty percent, and it was a
13:58
Speaker 3: dramatic improvement. And in twenty seventeen the save rate was
14:02
Speaker 3: sixty three percent. So his numbers were terrible. And it's
14:09
Speaker 3: just kind of an interesting record to be running on
14:13
Speaker 3: responsible for murdering over four thousand cats and dogs and
14:18
Speaker 3: puppies and kittens.
14:19
Speaker 2: Yeah it is.
14:20
Speaker 1: And this is again, this is what keeps breaking. Every
14:24
Speaker 1: time we think we have it all, it keeps getting worse.
14:27
Speaker 1: And by the way, we got some audio on this
14:29
Speaker 1: that we want to play for you in just a moment.
14:31
Speaker 1: But before we get to that, I do want to
14:32
Speaker 1: talk to you real quick about anti Semitism.
14:35
Speaker 2: It is on the rise around the world every.
14:37
Speaker 1: Day, and the Jewish people continue to pay the price,
14:40
Speaker 1: from growing threats against Jewish communities to acts of violence, harassment,
14:45
Speaker 1: and intimidation. Many Jewish families are living with fear simply
14:48
Speaker 1: because they are Jewish. Synagogues, schools, and community centers are
14:53
Speaker 1: strengthening security as hatred is spreading far beyond the headlines.
14:57
Speaker 1: And that is why the International Fellows of Christians and
15:00
Speaker 1: Jews is working every day in Israel and now around
15:04
Speaker 1: the world, providing security, emergency assistance, food, and critical care
15:11
Speaker 1: for the vulnerable Jewish communities. For more than forty years,
15:14
Speaker 1: the Fellowship has stood alongside the Jewish people, delivering practical
15:17
Speaker 1: support when it is needed the most. Hatred it continues
15:21
Speaker 1: to spread, but compassion and action can make a massive difference.
15:26
Speaker 1: So I want you to join me in joining the
15:28
Speaker 1: International Fellowship of Christians and Jews in simply praying. That's
15:33
Speaker 1: all I'm asking you to do, is to pray for
15:35
Speaker 1: the safety of the Jewish people, for peace, in Israel
15:38
Speaker 1: and for an end to anti Semitism. Together, we can
15:42
Speaker 1: remind God's people that they're not alone. If you want
15:45
Speaker 1: to know what you can pray for, I want you
15:47
Speaker 1: to go to PRAYIFCJ dot org. Stand with Israel in
15:50
Speaker 1: prayer today by visiting PREYIFCJ dot org.
15:54
Speaker 2: That's PREYIFCJ dot org.
15:56
Speaker 1: All right, I want you to take a listen to
15:57
Speaker 1: this local ABC seven report on this animal shelter and
16:02
Speaker 1: the whole controversy.
16:04
Speaker 4: Back in June, animal advocates and rescues teamed up to
16:07
Speaker 4: demand that the city clean up animal control. Dogs and
16:10
Speaker 4: cats were dying unnecessarily from disease, and then there were
16:14
Speaker 4: the allegations of neglect and even cruelty.
16:16
Speaker 3: It's going to take the city administration in the mayor
16:18
Speaker 3: getting involved, sitting down with these groups and talking about it.
16:22
Speaker 3: What can we do to improve animal services in Detroit
16:24
Speaker 3: because right now it's not working.
16:26
Speaker 4: The city then set up an animal welfare reform group,
16:28
Speaker 4: but it was a long and frustrating six months for many.
16:32
Speaker 4: Frederick Williams's Bagel mixed Scrappy was seized when he was
16:35
Speaker 4: evicted and died before he could save enough money to
16:38
Speaker 4: get him out, and then there was Cato killed when
16:41
Speaker 4: his owner couldn't pay the fees fast enough and both
16:44
Speaker 4: dogs never bit anyone.
16:45
Speaker 5: I was pretty much begging him like listen, I don't
16:47
Speaker 5: get paid for another two weeks.
16:49
Speaker 3: I tried to borrow money, but it still wasn't enough.
16:51
Speaker 4: And now that there's a change in leadership at Detroit
16:54
Speaker 4: Animal Control.
16:55
Speaker 3: Hopefully things are going to be very much better than
16:57
Speaker 3: what they were.
16:58
Speaker 4: Action News wanted to talk to Melissa mill Or, the
17:00
Speaker 4: new head of animal Control, but her boss, Health Department Director,
17:03
Speaker 4: doctor Abdul l Sayed, told us no because of our coverage,
17:07
Speaker 4: coverage that highlight of the deplorable conditions, and where is
17:11
Speaker 4: Harry Ward now he's been reassigned to take care of
17:14
Speaker 4: the horses at Detroit Police Mounted Patrol.
17:17
Speaker 6: I feel like it's a slap in the face, and
17:19
Speaker 6: I feel like I don't understand how the city can
17:21
Speaker 6: allow him to work with animals again after seeing the
17:23
Speaker 6: deplorable conditions at DAC, and we fought so hard to
17:26
Speaker 6: get him out of here, and now he's back working
17:28
Speaker 6: with animals again, So obviously our fight isn't over in Detroit.
17:31
Speaker 4: Kimberley Craig seven Action News.
17:33
Speaker 1: I mean, you see the story there, and I love
17:35
Speaker 1: how I say the guy that's like all about transparency
17:38
Speaker 1: right now, I'm not talking to you.
17:39
Speaker 2: Guys did a bad story on me. Yep.
17:42
Speaker 3: Look, Democrats are used to the media just being there
17:45
Speaker 3: cheerleaders and press agents, and so any criticism they don't
17:49
Speaker 3: know how to handle. All right, So you've heard the
17:51
Speaker 3: stunning news about the conference he speaking at alongside this
17:55
Speaker 3: radical calling for pedophily of your young family members. You've
17:59
Speaker 3: heard the stunning news that he was responsible for killing
18:01
Speaker 3: over four thousand dogs and cats and puppies and kittens.
18:05
Speaker 3: Surely there can't be more. And as the old movie
18:08
Speaker 3: Airplane says, yes there can. And don't call me Shirley.
18:13
Speaker 3: I want you to take a moment and acquaint yourself
18:16
Speaker 3: with Abdul al Sayad's sister. Now, Abdul's own record is
18:22
Speaker 3: of being a Marxist, Islamist America hater. I gotta say,
18:28
Speaker 3: as bad as he is, his sister is something really special.
18:33
Speaker 3: She's a professor at the University of Chicago, and unfortunately
18:37
Speaker 3: so many of our professors are radical. She's a full
18:40
Speaker 3: on communist. She's a Marxist, she's an rabid Islamist, she
18:45
Speaker 3: is a naked Jew hater, and she hates America. And
18:48
Speaker 3: I'm gonna back all this up. These are not empty charges,
18:51
Speaker 3: all right. October seventh. October seventh, when Hamas massacred over
18:58
Speaker 3: twelve hundred innocents in Israe, when they raped little girls
19:03
Speaker 3: and women in the streets, that morning, Abdul's sister Emmen
19:10
Speaker 3: abdel Hadi tweeted the following. This is the entirety of
19:14
Speaker 3: her tweet, mourning freedom with a Palestinian flag. Wow, that
19:21
Speaker 3: was her tweet, celebrating. That was at five point fifty
19:25
Speaker 3: one am on October seventh, twenty twenty three. That's while people,
19:29
Speaker 3: while women and girls are still being raped, she's celebrating.
19:31
Speaker 3: And you might say, well, maybe she didn't know the facts. Well,
19:36
Speaker 3: then let's go till later in the day. On October seventh,
19:40
Speaker 3: so Bernie Sanders, Bernie Sanders his own record attacking Israel
19:45
Speaker 3: and welcoming anti Semitism is unfortunate. But here's what Bernie
19:49
Speaker 3: Sanders said on October seventh. I absolutely condemn the horrifying
19:54
Speaker 3: attack on Israel by Hamas and Islamic jihad. There is
19:58
Speaker 3: no justification for this. Viole Llans and innocent people on
20:02
Speaker 3: both sides will suffer hugely because of it. It must
20:05
Speaker 3: end now. So that's what Bernie Sanders said the morning
20:07
Speaker 3: October seventh. Here's what Abdul's sister said at eleven oh
20:11
Speaker 3: seven am on October seventh, retweeting or quote tweeting Bernie Sanders,
20:16
Speaker 3: What a disappointment. If you can't stand with the people
20:22
Speaker 3: that have been held in an open prison for sixteen
20:24
Speaker 3: years finally fighting their oppressors, how can you claim to
20:29
Speaker 3: stand for justice. So understand her complaint is Bernie Sanders
20:35
Speaker 3: was not pro Hamas enough. She needed him to be
20:38
Speaker 3: even more pro Hamas. That's how radical she is. That's
20:43
Speaker 3: how much she hates Israel, That's how much she hates Jews.
20:47
Speaker 3: And by the way, she's also a communist. So listen
20:52
Speaker 3: to her. This is her own voice talking about what
20:55
Speaker 3: she thinks about capitalism.
20:58
Speaker 7: Capitalism is at the room of pretty much all of
21:01
Speaker 7: our social ills and has some way that it plays
21:05
Speaker 7: a lot into all the oppressions that we face. So
21:10
Speaker 7: for me, I don't see issues of sexuality or race
21:15
Speaker 7: or gender as separate from issues of economic justice. Capitalism
21:21
Speaker 7: has done a really good job of dividing us and
21:25
Speaker 7: has done a really good job of objectifying our bodies
21:28
Speaker 7: and just basically stealing from generation after generation of people
21:34
Speaker 7: who aren't at the top. So socialism really affects every
21:38
Speaker 7: type of political activity that I'm in. There's no separation
21:43
Speaker 7: for me between all of these things.
21:46
Speaker 2: Santa.
21:47
Speaker 1: You listen to how well thought out Her answer was,
21:52
Speaker 1: this is a core belief. I think it's pretty clear
21:55
Speaker 1: that you have core beliefs in this family, and this
21:59
Speaker 1: is the radical of a family. One of them has
22:03
Speaker 1: to dial it back a little bit, even though he
22:05
Speaker 1: didn't dial it back for years. Let's also be clear
22:07
Speaker 1: about that in Al said, and so it's like, Okay,
22:11
Speaker 1: I guess we can pull it back just a little
22:12
Speaker 1: bit while I'm trying to, you know, become an elected official.
22:16
Speaker 3: Yep. Look, and Al Sayid has talked about how he
22:20
Speaker 3: hates Thanksgiving. It turns out his sister does too. Here's
22:23
Speaker 3: what she's tweeted on Thanksgiving in July fourth quote, we
22:28
Speaker 3: can't have nice things under settler colonialism. May all the
22:33
Speaker 3: empires fall? And then on July fourth, quote, excuse me
22:38
Speaker 3: if I don't celebrate the transfer of stolen land from
22:41
Speaker 3: one colonizer to another hashtag July fourth and then amazingly enough.
22:48
Speaker 3: So she didn't think Bernie Sanders was woke enough, or
22:50
Speaker 3: Israel hating enough, or America hating enough. She also didn't
22:54
Speaker 3: think the University of Michigan was so. The University of
22:56
Speaker 3: Michigan on December eighth, twenty twenty three, tweeted out, in
23:02
Speaker 3: the context of the national discourse, the University of Michigan
23:06
Speaker 3: unequivocally condemns calls for the genocide of Jews or any
23:11
Speaker 3: other people's as this is antithetical to our values. So, okay,
23:16
Speaker 3: fairly mild tweet saying that University of Michigan is against
23:20
Speaker 3: the genocide of Jews. What was Abdul's sister's reaction to
23:23
Speaker 3: this quote. The students you have been arresting and disciplining
23:29
Speaker 3: have not been calling for a genocide of Jews. They
23:32
Speaker 3: have been calling for an end to the current, actual
23:35
Speaker 3: ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. I am ashamed to
23:41
Speaker 3: be a Michigan Wolverine.
23:43
Speaker 2: Wow.
23:45
Speaker 3: That was in response to Michigan saying they opposed the
23:50
Speaker 3: genocide of Jews. That made her ashamed to be a
23:53
Speaker 3: Michigan Wolverine. And final thing I want you to hear
23:56
Speaker 3: about her. Surely she's proud to be a professor at
23:59
Speaker 3: the University Chicago. I mean, after all, that's her employer,
24:02
Speaker 3: that's where she teaches. She teaches right now, she poisons
24:05
Speaker 3: the minds of young students right now at the University
24:07
Speaker 3: of Chicago. Obviously she's proud of that. Well, turns out
24:11
Speaker 3: she's not give a listen to what she has to
24:13
Speaker 3: say about the University of Chicago where she is a
24:15
Speaker 3: professor right now.
24:17
Speaker 8: For the University of Chicago, it's evil, Like, you know,
24:20
Speaker 8: it's a colonial landlord. Like why would I, why would
24:24
Speaker 8: I put any of my political energy into this space?
24:26
Speaker 8: And I kind of had a little bit of disdain
24:28
Speaker 8: for for like people who spend a lot of time
24:32
Speaker 8: doing that. And the genocide really collapsed that and made
24:36
Speaker 8: me realize that.
24:39
Speaker 3: Two things.
24:39
Speaker 8: One is that, well, my students needed me. So it
24:42
Speaker 8: was like, oh, I actually I have to organize here
24:45
Speaker 8: to take care of my students, who I do care about.
24:49
Speaker 8: But I also realized and I think this is a lesson.
24:52
Speaker 8: This is a painful lesson that a lot of us
24:53
Speaker 8: in the Palestine Solidarity movement have been learning is that
24:57
Speaker 8: we don't have power. We could shift the moral authority.
25:01
Speaker 8: All we want. We've won the moral question, like that
25:04
Speaker 8: was the imperative that we've had.
25:05
Speaker 2: We've done check like put.
25:08
Speaker 8: Palestine in the national consciousness. We did it, you know,
25:12
Speaker 8: make people sympathetic to Palestine, teach the history.
25:14
Speaker 2: We did it.
25:15
Speaker 8: Like now you have white boys on the North side
25:16
Speaker 8: of Chicago being like, hey man, free Palestine. I'm like, okay, now,
25:20
Speaker 8: did not see it coming. Glad it's here. But what
25:25
Speaker 8: we don't have is power. And I think for me,
25:28
Speaker 8: the question of base building is about I think the
25:30
Speaker 8: question that I'm asking myself and I'm asking you to
25:33
Speaker 8: ask yourself, is where can I actually build power? Turns out,
25:37
Speaker 8: I work at one of the biggest employers in the
25:40
Speaker 8: city of Chicago. I work at a place that is
25:43
Speaker 8: a landlord, a health care provider, a police force, but
25:48
Speaker 8: they are right and a place where I have access
25:52
Speaker 8: to thousands of people that I could potentially organize. And
25:55
Speaker 8: you know what, it's not fun organizing academics. Next time
25:59
Speaker 8: you're in your ORGANI meaning being frustrated, please think of me.
26:03
Speaker 7: Please think about me trying to organize, Like the academics
26:07
Speaker 7: like it's brutal.
26:09
Speaker 8: I never saw this coming, however, but I'm just like, actually,
26:13
Speaker 8: this is where I need to build power, right, like,
26:16
Speaker 8: this is my big, best possible structural leverage. And so
26:20
Speaker 8: I do I do one on ones with my liberal
26:23
Speaker 8: colleagues who are like, well, I don't know, but you know,
26:25
Speaker 8: I just think we should live the life of the mind.
26:27
Speaker 7: Here are You're in a high park wherever we are.
26:29
Speaker 3: And I was like, yeah, you know, I hear you totally.
26:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, unbelievable, like that this is and and by the way,
26:37
Speaker 1: this is when you and.
26:38
Speaker 2: I have worn for a long time.
26:40
Speaker 1: You need to pay attention where you send your kids
26:42
Speaker 1: to school and who's indoctrinating them, because this is a
26:46
Speaker 1: woman who is indoctrinating children or young adults in college
26:50
Speaker 1: each and every day.
26:52
Speaker 3: So what she says is f the University of Chicago.
26:57
Speaker 3: It's evil. But where can I build power. I have
27:03
Speaker 3: access to thousands of people I can potentially organize, so
27:07
Speaker 3: the students, the young people, she is trying to proselytize
27:11
Speaker 3: them and turn them into Islamists and communists. And what
27:16
Speaker 3: she says explicitly is this is where I need to
27:20
Speaker 3: build power. Well, let me just ask you something. Where
27:24
Speaker 3: do you think Abdul l Sied thinks he needs to
27:28
Speaker 3: build power? This is a family raised on hate, and
27:34
Speaker 3: this is a family devoted to hate. That's how radical
27:39
Speaker 3: the Democrats nominees are this cycle.
27:41
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, she's not the only person
27:44
Speaker 1: out there in Elsie that you need to be paying
27:46
Speaker 1: attention to. We've got some news that deals with Troy
27:49
Speaker 1: Jackson in that race in Maine. Before we get to that.
27:52
Speaker 1: Right now, somewhere in the world, there's a child waiting,
27:55
Speaker 1: not waiting for a birthday, not waiting for Christmas, but
27:59
Speaker 1: waiting for someone to choose them. That is exactly what
28:03
Speaker 1: Compassion International does every single day. They connect children living
28:08
Speaker 1: in poverty with someone who will know their name, who
28:11
Speaker 1: will pray for them, who will encourage them and help
28:14
Speaker 1: provide the food, medical care, education and the hope they
28:19
Speaker 1: need through a local church. Now, this year, Compassion is
28:23
Speaker 1: expanding into four new countries Malawi, Zambia, Cambodia, and Mermar,
28:29
Speaker 1: meaning thousands of children are being reached for the very
28:33
Speaker 1: first time. And for just forty three dollars a month,
28:37
Speaker 1: you can be the reason one child stops waiting, So
28:41
Speaker 1: join me sponsor a child today at compassion dot com.
28:46
Speaker 1: That's compassion dot com. All right, Senaer, Let's go to
28:50
Speaker 1: Troy Jackson and Maine. Just when you think things can't
28:54
Speaker 1: get any crazier in the Democratic Party, yet again we
28:57
Speaker 1: got new headlines and new stories out of me as well.
29:01
Speaker 3: So, like Michigan, Maine has had a fairly extraordinary saga
29:06
Speaker 3: with their Democrat nominee. They started off with Graham Platner,
29:09
Speaker 3: the Nazi communist misogynist who was ultimately so bad that
29:14
Speaker 3: even though he had a Nazi tattoo on his chest,
29:17
Speaker 3: the Democrats stuck with him. But once he had serious
29:20
Speaker 3: allegations of sexual assault, they finally abandoned him and they
29:24
Speaker 3: went to a different guy. They went to Troy Jackson.
29:26
Speaker 3: They tried to grab some other white guy from Maine
29:28
Speaker 3: that they thought kind of looked like Graham. Platter said, oh,
29:31
Speaker 3: he'll do, he'll be fine. And so now he's their
29:34
Speaker 3: nominee because understand all, they care about his power, sort
29:37
Speaker 3: of like el say it's sister. They're interested in power. Well,
29:40
Speaker 3: it turns out whoever is in charge of vetting for
29:43
Speaker 3: the Democrat Party in Maine needs to go back to
29:46
Speaker 3: a medial school because they're really, really bad at the job.
29:51
Speaker 3: Here's a headline from the Banger Daily News. Quote Troy
29:56
Speaker 3: Jackson punched a man and pushed his partner in nineteen
30:00
Speaker 3: teen eighty eight, police report says Democratic US senate candidate
30:05
Speaker 3: Troy Jackson's longtime partner told an officer that he quote
30:09
Speaker 3: pushed her around after Jackson broke down a door and
30:13
Speaker 3: punched a man at a Fort Kent home in nineteen
30:16
Speaker 3: eighty eight. According to a police report obtained exclusively by
30:20
Speaker 3: The Banger Daily News, Jackson, who was nineteen at the time,
30:23
Speaker 3: does not dispute the assault of the man, a misdemeanor
30:25
Speaker 3: charge resolved by a fine. But Lana Pelletier, who has
30:30
Speaker 3: been in a relationship with Jackson for roughly forty years,
30:33
Speaker 3: says she has no memory of making the statement attributed
30:35
Speaker 3: to her by police and denies he pushed her. In
30:38
Speaker 3: a statement, Jackson denied he'd ever been violent with her. Quote,
30:42
Speaker 3: nearly forty years ago, when I was nineteen years old,
30:44
Speaker 3: I got into a fight with another man. I took
30:46
Speaker 3: responsibility for it. Then I take responsibility for it now,
30:49
Speaker 3: Jackson said in a statement. Quote but let me be clear.
30:52
Speaker 3: I've never been violent with my partner, Lana or any
30:55
Speaker 3: other woman. This happened nearly four decades ago, and I
30:58
Speaker 3: assure maners at this incident in no way reflects on
31:01
Speaker 3: the man I am today or the life I've led
31:03
Speaker 3: in years since. It's almost identical to Graham Platner's denials. Well,
31:07
Speaker 3: I want you to listen to at least one witness,
31:10
Speaker 3: main resident Kim mcberdy describing witnessing Troy Jackson abusing his girlfriend.
31:16
Speaker 3: Give a listen, tell me about.
31:17
Speaker 5: The incident where you witnessed Troy Jackson striking his partner
31:22
Speaker 5: or girlfriend or.
31:23
Speaker 9: Well, well, those the pob the general store in Saint
31:28
Speaker 9: Francis that closed up, and the owner made the pob.
31:32
Speaker 9: It was like a walk in basement and he made
31:34
Speaker 9: the pob, which we all used to go there quite
31:36
Speaker 9: often on the weekends. And I was going there one
31:40
Speaker 9: I don't remember it was Friday or Saturday. But as
31:43
Speaker 9: I approached the door line and Troy was standing outside,
31:47
Speaker 9: and all of a sudden, he just open hands slapped
31:50
Speaker 9: her beside the head, and her head tilted a little
31:52
Speaker 9: bit and her hair flew, and she turned and started
31:55
Speaker 9: towards whatever vehicle ahead. I didn't see what vehicle ahead
31:59
Speaker 9: or and it kind of shocked me because usually I
32:03
Speaker 9: don't let stuff like that slide. And he turned and
32:07
Speaker 9: followed her, So I continued in the building that they left.
32:10
Speaker 5: They never came in, so you didn't hear any yelling
32:13
Speaker 5: beforehand or anything. So he just open hand slapped the
32:16
Speaker 5: right inside. I didn't hear their conversation, right, because I
32:20
Speaker 5: was just right approaching the but it was a closed
32:22
Speaker 5: fist and open hand, open.
32:24
Speaker 9: Hand, open hand. Yeah, just and just laughed her.
32:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, no big deal, right, Just another Democratic candidate
32:31
Speaker 1: who says, no, I didn't ever do anything like this
32:33
Speaker 1: and you should just trust me.
32:36
Speaker 3: Well, look, you got a witness who's describing him slapping
32:39
Speaker 3: his girlfriend across the head. I want you to listen
32:44
Speaker 3: also to Susan Collins. And Susan Collins, who the Democrats
32:48
Speaker 3: are so desperate to beat that they're recruiting each of
32:50
Speaker 3: these clowns. She describes how this is a pattern, how
32:54
Speaker 3: he's well known for having a temper just like this.
32:58
Speaker 3: Give a listen to Susan Collins.
33:00
Speaker 10: Well, I've known Troy, but not well for many, many years.
33:05
Speaker 2: He's been in a Gusta brick.
33:07
Speaker 10: In twenty four years and he's from a rustic Connus
33:12
Speaker 10: am so I've known up here for a month time.
33:19
Speaker 9: Troubling reports just blasted.
33:22
Speaker 10: I'm sure you've seen them about his past.
33:24
Speaker 6: What are your thoughts on that?
33:25
Speaker 3: Another Grand Platts.
33:28
Speaker 10: I don't know. He's the one who leads to respond
33:33
Speaker 10: to those reports. I'm not going to comment on them,
33:38
Speaker 10: but I will say that based on widespread reporting and
33:43
Speaker 10: he hears that he struggles to control this.
33:46
Speaker 1: Tet, I mean the way that she describes at the
33:51
Speaker 1: end pretty spot on.
33:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's exactly what happened with Graham Plattner. Now,
33:56
Speaker 3: I assume the news will dribble out and dribble out,
33:59
Speaker 3: and there'll be another allegation and other allegation, and none
34:02
Speaker 3: of the Democrats will care because look, if they're willing
34:05
Speaker 3: to stand with an Islamist, communist puppy murderer who's speaking
34:12
Speaker 3: at a conference organized by the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated group
34:15
Speaker 3: that his father in law helped found, with a cleric
34:19
Speaker 3: who advocates for child marriage at the age of thirteen,
34:24
Speaker 3: of your young family members and they're all standing with
34:26
Speaker 3: El sad by the way, the Democrats. Chuck Schumer's perfectly
34:29
Speaker 3: okay with that. Then he has no problem with Troy Jackson,
34:34
Speaker 3: with a police report saying that he pushed his partner,
34:37
Speaker 3: with witnesses saying he slapped his girlfriend. They're just fine because,
34:42
Speaker 3: just like I'll say, it's sister, it's all about power
34:46
Speaker 3: and nothing else matters to.
34:47
Speaker 1: Them, Nothing else matters. Don't forget. We do the show Monday,
