0:06
Speaker 2: around the country, we are so glad you found this show.
0:09

Speaker 2: Verdict with Ted Cruz wherever you get your podcasts.
0:20
Speaker 1: So you don't miss a single episode. And Center.
0:22
Speaker 2: We've got a lot to talk about today's show, including
0:25
Speaker 2: the shocking news of a real New York terror attack
0:29
Speaker 2: that has been foiled with someone's declaring that they are
0:33
Speaker 2: a member of isis well.
0:35
Speaker 3: Left wing radicalism is getting worse and worse, and it
0:39
Speaker 3: is profoundly dangerous, and today we're going to talk about
0:42
Speaker 3: manifestations of it that are getting more and more extreme
0:45
Speaker 3: and more and more dangerous. We're going to start with
0:47
Speaker 3: a terror plot in New York of an America hating
0:50
Speaker 3: radical who plan to bomb the New York State Capitol,
0:54
Speaker 3: wanted to kill as many senators, kill upwards of one
0:57
Speaker 3: hundred people. She was arrested by the FBI. We're gonna
0:59
Speaker 3: give you the fact that we're also going to talk
1:02
Speaker 3: about wokeness in corporate America, in particular Nike. Nike made
1:07
Speaker 3: a decision to embrace the left wing, to embrace anti Americanism,
1:13
Speaker 3: to embrace racial divisiveness, to embrace transgender boys and girls sports,
1:19
Speaker 3: and the consequence has been that their stock price has plummeted.
1:22
Speaker 3: That go woke, go broke is a very real thing.
1:24
Speaker 3: We're going to talk about some of the radicals who
1:26
Speaker 3: are running for Senate across the country, including in particular
1:29
Speaker 3: James Talrico in Texas and Abdul al Sayed in Michigan,
1:33
Speaker 3: both of whom it seems every week we discover more
1:36
Speaker 3: and more extreme positions they've taken. And finally, we're going
1:40
Speaker 3: to talk about Hassan Piker, the radical who campaigns with
1:43
Speaker 3: I'll say it, who campaigns with other Democrats, and who
1:45
Speaker 3: has said America deserves nine to eleven. It's now been
1:49
Speaker 3: reported that his younger brother has worked on sensitive Boeing projects,
1:53
Speaker 3: including Air Force one. And we're going to raise the
1:56
Speaker 3: potential national security implications of MRECA hating Islamist being in
2:01
Speaker 3: a position to cause real damage. All of that is
2:04
Speaker 3: on today's pod.
2:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot to cover, so get ready right now,
2:09
Speaker 2: somewhere in the world, there's a child that is waiting,
2:12
Speaker 2: not waiting for a birthday, not waiting for Christmas, waiting
2:16
Speaker 2: for someone to choose them. That's what Compassion International does.
2:21
Speaker 2: Every single day. They connect children living in poverty with
2:25
Speaker 2: someone who will know their name, will pray for them,
2:28
Speaker 2: encourage them, and help provide the food, medical care, education,
2:33
Speaker 2: and most importantly the hope they need through a local church.
2:37
Speaker 2: Now this year, Compassion is expanding into four new countries Malali, Zambia, Cambodia,
2:44
Speaker 2: and me or Mar, meaning thousands of children are being
2:47
Speaker 2: reached for the very first time. I want you to

Speaker 2: Compassion dot com. That's Compassion dot Com.
3:06
Speaker 1: Senator.
3:06
Speaker 2: Let's get into this first story and we are coming up.
3:09
Speaker 2: It's crazy. This makes me feel old. It is the
3:12
Speaker 2: twenty fifth anniversary coming up of nine to eleven. It
3:15
Speaker 2: is amazing that it's been that many years. It is
3:19
Speaker 2: also very concerning to me how quickly we seem to
3:23
Speaker 2: have forgotten the lessons that we learned from nine to eleven,
3:26
Speaker 2: whereas as it was described to me by someone in
3:28
Speaker 2: law enforced the other day, this is what happens when
3:30
Speaker 2: you're one generation removed from that horrific terrorist attack and
3:35
Speaker 2: some people just say, you know, that was something that
3:37
Speaker 2: happen in the past. It's not something we need to
3:40
Speaker 2: really worry about now. Well, we were talking about a
3:42
Speaker 2: lot with our open borders and people on the terrorists
3:45
Speaker 2: watch lists that were getting across that were getting caught.
3:47
Speaker 2: We have to worries and concerns about who's in this
3:49
Speaker 2: country that we didn't catch. Sleeper sales have been a
3:52
Speaker 2: great example of that that we've talked about a lot.
3:55
Speaker 2: But now we found out the FBI thwarted an alleged
3:58
Speaker 2: ISIS inspired plot to bomb the New York City capital
4:02
Speaker 2: and to kill and destroy they said important papers in Albany.
4:07
Speaker 3: Well, leftist hate for America has real consequences, and here's
4:11
Speaker 3: the story. Here's what NBAC News has reported on it.
4:13
Speaker 3: A woman has been charged with providing support to a
4:15
Speaker 3: terrorist group after she was accused of plotting an Isist
4:18
Speaker 3: inspired attack on the New York Capitol in Albany, federal
4:21
Speaker 3: officials said Thursday. Jessica Booey thirty five, of Albany, is
4:26
Speaker 3: alleged to have told a confidential source that she supported
4:29
Speaker 3: the Islamic State militant group commonly known as ISIS and
4:32
Speaker 3: asked for help learning to make explosives, according to a
4:35
Speaker 3: criminal complaint filed in the U. S. District Court for
4:37
Speaker 3: the Northern District of New York. She was arrested Wednesday
4:41
Speaker 3: by the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in Albany. Bowie
4:45
Speaker 3: is expected in court Thursday afternoon on a single charge
4:47
Speaker 3: of attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign
4:50
Speaker 3: terrorist organization.
4:52
Speaker 1: According to the.
4:53
Speaker 3: Complaint, Bowie converted to Islam five years ago, became radicalized
4:58
Speaker 3: online and aided several social media accounts using an honorific
5:03
Speaker 3: Islamic name. She appeared to have created multiple accounts because
5:07
Speaker 3: they were quote frequently suspended for by providers for violating
5:10
Speaker 3: their terms of use. Bowie swore her allegiance to ISIS
5:14
Speaker 3: in multiple audio recordings in English and Arabic, and she
5:17
Speaker 3: once wrote Praise Be to Allah for September eleventh. The
5:23
Speaker 3: complaint alleged that Boie communicated from July sixteenth through August
5:26
Speaker 3: seventeenth with a confidential source who was working with the
5:29
Speaker 3: FBI and posing as an ISIS facilitator. She told the
5:33
Speaker 3: source that she wanted to help carry out an attack
5:36
Speaker 3: on the New York Capitol. According to the complaint, the
5:39
Speaker 3: building was less than two miles from her home, and
5:41
Speaker 3: she said she wanted to do something to quote harm
5:43
Speaker 3: the enemies of God. The complaint alleges that Bowie visited
5:47
Speaker 3: the capital five times from July twenty first to August ninth,
5:50
Speaker 3: and that surveillance teams observed her photographing the area. She
5:54
Speaker 3: is alleged to have said in messages to the source
5:56
Speaker 3: that she wanted to have a quote effect on the
6:00
Speaker 3: American system quote I want to destroy as much of
6:03
Speaker 3: the buildings as possible and kill the senators while they
6:07
Speaker 3: are meeting. A message including in the complaint said. Two
6:10
Speaker 3: other confidential sources met with Bowie and Albany this month
6:13
Speaker 3: in a meeting that was recorded. The complaint says Bowie
6:15
Speaker 3: is alleged to have said she wanted to attack the
6:17
Speaker 3: building on a day when most senators would be present,
6:20
Speaker 3: She hoped to escape after the attack, and if she
6:22
Speaker 3: evaded the authorities, planned to return for future plots.
6:25
Speaker 4: Quote.
6:26
Speaker 3: Miss Bowie didn't just want to kill lawmakers. She wanted
6:29
Speaker 3: a complete disruption of our government. And after that she
6:32
Speaker 3: planned to flee the country and one day come back
6:34
Speaker 3: and do more, such as New York's eve in Times Square,
6:37
Speaker 3: even stating that she would come back to attack the
6:40
Speaker 3: White House. And the president asked why she wanted to
6:44
Speaker 3: target the state capital, Bowie's alleged to have said, quote,
6:47
Speaker 3: ideally it would be the White House with the president,
6:50
Speaker 3: but like that's an even harder job. Quote I'd say
6:54
Speaker 3: it definitely bothers me. And I know I'm going to
6:56
Speaker 3: hear about things after what's going to bother me, especially
6:59
Speaker 3: if there's a mo Uslim, if there's children, pregnant women.
7:02
Speaker 3: She went on to say, however, she hoped Allah would
7:04
Speaker 3: forgive her. One of the confidential sources gave Bowie two
7:07
Speaker 3: hundred dollars to purchase bomb making materials, which she is
7:10
Speaker 3: alleged to have don August fifth at a home depot.
7:13
Speaker 3: She gave the items to the confidential sources when she
7:15
Speaker 3: met with them in the days that followed. This is
7:18
Speaker 3: so she's been arrested. She's been stopped. She was buying
7:21
Speaker 3: bomb making materials, She was communicating with people she thought
7:24
Speaker 3: were isis. She was asking about carrying out a major
7:28
Speaker 3: terror attack. This is an American. This is not a foreigner.
7:32
Speaker 3: This is not someone from the Middle East. This is
7:33
Speaker 3: an American from New York who grew up and was radicalized,
7:38
Speaker 3: was taught to hate America, was taught to celebrate nine
7:43
Speaker 3: to eleven and the consequences of that, as she had
7:46
Speaker 3: been indoctrinated that America is an evil place, that carrying
7:50
Speaker 3: out acts of violence are justified, that they are to
7:52
Speaker 3: be celebrated, that they are good. And I will say
7:56
Speaker 3: the evil that the world saw on nine to eleven,
7:59
Speaker 3: this evil is becoming normalized. It's spreading across this country.
8:03
Speaker 3: It's becoming domestic. It's not just a foreign threat. And
8:06
Speaker 3: this challenge is only getting worse.
8:08
Speaker 2: I want to remind everyone that's listening or watching this
8:11
Speaker 2: that your new book is coming out and it is incredible.
8:15
Speaker 2: It is about Clarence Thomas, and you can preorder it
8:19

9:01
Speaker 2: Senator, This next topic is one that I think is
9:05
Speaker 2: awesome from the standpoint that it shows that when corporate
9:09
Speaker 2: America does something that is really kind of egregious and
9:14
Speaker 2: goes against traditional family values, even America in general, there
9:18
Speaker 2: can be long term consequences, even if you don't see
9:22
Speaker 2: them instantly in the marketplace. This will be studied in
9:26
Speaker 2: business schools. I'm convinced for years to come as well.
9:30
Speaker 2: And it's the demise of Nike where they have lost
9:33
Speaker 2: not two hundred million, not twenty billion, but two hundred
9:37
Speaker 2: billion dollars in market cap, has been wiped out, and
9:40
Speaker 2: you can directly connect it to their woke, radical agenda
9:45
Speaker 2: they started pushing several years ago.
9:47
Speaker 3: Well, the principle go woke, go broke is a very
9:50
Speaker 3: true principle, and yet corporate America repeatedly has been on
9:54
Speaker 3: the front edge of the woke DEI madness that consume
9:58
Speaker 3: much of the country. And if you think, Okay, we're
10:01
Speaker 3: past that now because Trump got re elected, I think
10:05
Speaker 3: that is a foolish belief. This nonsense will come back.
10:07
Speaker 3: And they're young, twenty something thirty HR officials, DEI officials,
10:13
Speaker 3: corporate marketing officials who have been indoctrinated in this nonsense
10:17
Speaker 3: in colleges and universities. And we saw it with bud Light,
10:20
Speaker 3: we saw it with Target, and you look at Nike. Look,
10:23
Speaker 3: Nike is a great American company. And Nike made a
10:28
Speaker 3: corporate decision in the last decade to embrace left wing politics.
10:33
Speaker 3: They did it most prominently with Colin Kaepernick. Colin Kaepernick,
10:36
Speaker 3: of course, was the quarterback who decided to kneel during
10:41
Speaker 3: the national anthem, and to do so in opposition to
10:44
Speaker 3: what he described as violence against African Americans from police
10:48
Speaker 3: doing it to attack police officers and say police are
10:51
Speaker 3: are engaged in violence, and that became a left wing
10:55
Speaker 3: caused celeb that you should not stand for the national anthem,
10:58
Speaker 3: that our country doesn't deserve respect, that our interesters shouldn't
11:00
Speaker 3: be celebrated. And what did Nike do. They made Colin
11:04
Speaker 3: Kaepernick their front person. They put him as part of
11:07
Speaker 3: a national campaign. They put him on a giant billboard
11:11
Speaker 3: in Times Square. They celebrated him. This is what they
11:15
Speaker 3: embraced and center.
11:16
Speaker 2: I think a really important data point here is when
11:19
Speaker 2: they signed Colin Kaepernick and they pushed this agenda that
11:22
Speaker 2: you just mentioned and the billboard in Times Square.
11:26
Speaker 1: He was not actively playing in the league anymore. That
11:29
Speaker 1: is how much Nike went woke.
11:32
Speaker 3: Yeah, and look, Kaepernick made millions of dollars on it.
11:34
Speaker 3: For him, it was very profitable to go woke because
11:37
Speaker 3: he no longer was getting playing time, he was not
11:39
Speaker 3: performing at the top of the level.
11:41
Speaker 4: Think about that.
11:41
Speaker 3: What that's saying. You know, Nike really made their bones
11:44
Speaker 3: on Michael Jordan, and they famously went into a deal
11:48
Speaker 3: where Jordan got a percentage of sneaker sales and it
11:51
Speaker 3: helped make Michael Jordan a billionaire. But Michael Jordan was
11:55
Speaker 3: also the greatest basketball player to ever play. And so
11:58
Speaker 3: they're going all in on someone who was extraordinary at
12:00
Speaker 3: sports and was a hell of a marketing image, a personality,
12:06
Speaker 3: an athlete for the centuries. Kaepernick wasn't even playing at
12:13
Speaker 3: that point. What they were celebrating is the America hate,
12:18
Speaker 3: and that was It was a decision. It was a
12:20
Speaker 3: decision that I guarantee you was made by some thirty
12:24
Speaker 3: something woke little schmuck who said, this is a great idea.
12:28
Speaker 3: And by the way, the next summer, they had a
12:31
Speaker 3: fourth of July themed Airmac sneaker that featured the Betsy
12:35
Speaker 3: Ross flag, and Kaepernick was feeling his oats. I mean,
12:38
Speaker 3: he could now demand anything, and he said, well, I
12:41
Speaker 3: don't like the Betsy Ross flag. And so what did
12:44
Speaker 3: What did Nike do? It pulled the sneaker because of
12:49
Speaker 3: concerns that the shoe could quote unintentionally offend. And I
12:53
Speaker 3: got to say, for me, at least, look, I grew up.
12:56
Speaker 3: I'm kind of a brand name guy. Like I used
12:58
Speaker 3: Crest toothpaste. I just like Nike is what I always wore.
13:00
Speaker 3: Every tennis shoe I bought from, Like, you know, when
13:02
Speaker 3: I was five years old, I would wear Nikes as
13:04
Speaker 3: a kid growing up, every tennis shoe I had was
13:06
Speaker 3: a Nike. Uh every pair of shorts and T shirts
13:09
Speaker 3: I had was Nike. You know, as you know, I
13:11
Speaker 3: play hoops twice a week. I would always play a Nike.
13:14
Speaker 3: And the Kaepernick thing annoyed me. And then when they
13:16
Speaker 3: did the Betsy Ross thing, I said, you know what,
13:18
Speaker 3: this is a company that has decided their business plan
13:23
Speaker 3: is to market anti Americanism. That they that that that
13:26
Speaker 3: the country that young kids who were buying Nike ought
13:30
Speaker 3: to be doing what Kaepernick is doing, ought to be
13:32
Speaker 3: hating the Betsy Ross flag, ought to be kneeling during
13:35
Speaker 3: the national anthem, ought to be attacking America. And and
13:39
Speaker 3: so I just decided, all right, look, who cares My
13:41
Speaker 3: buying habits are not of particular concern. But I decided
13:44
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna wear this stuff anymore. And I went out.
13:45
Speaker 3: I had to buy brand new tennis shoes, brand new shorts,
13:48
Speaker 3: brand new shirts. I just went online and say, all right, there,
13:51
Speaker 3: there there are other makers I'm just gonna buy. I'm
13:53
Speaker 3: gonna buy Adidas, I'm gonna buy Rebocking to buy somebody
13:55
Speaker 3: else that has not built their marketing business around anti Americanism.
14:01
Speaker 3: And by the way, Nike didn't just do that. They
14:03
Speaker 3: also went all in on the transgender issue, and so
14:07
Speaker 3: they partnered with with Dylan mulvainy, the transgender man who
14:12
Speaker 3: identifies as a woman, and they paid Dylan mulvany to
14:16
Speaker 3: sell women's sports spras and leggings. Now, Dylan Mulvaney, I
14:23
Speaker 3: know this is a shocking thing to say, is not
14:25
Speaker 3: a woman. But the amazing thing Ben this was after
14:30
Speaker 3: bud Light had lit itself on fire. Yeah, so if
14:34
Speaker 3: you look at I talk about this in my last book, Unwoke,
14:37
Speaker 3: How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America. Bud Light was
14:42
Speaker 3: the number one beer in America, and they decided to
14:45
Speaker 3: make Dylan mulvany their face of marketing, and they blew
14:49
Speaker 3: up their entire it turns out, and they had this
14:52
Speaker 3: you know, young marketing executive who didn't like their customers,
14:56
Speaker 3: who looked down on their customers, and bud Light iterated
15:00
Speaker 3: itself over that decision. Nike looked at it, and then Target.
15:04
Speaker 3: You remember Target had these displays where they were marketing
15:08
Speaker 3: to two year old boys or parents of two year
15:11
Speaker 3: old boys, tuck friendly swimsuits so that little boys could
15:16
Speaker 3: could pretend to be little girls by tucking their genitalia away.
15:19
Speaker 3: I mean, this was aggressively, affirmatively marketing this stuff to children,
15:24
Speaker 3: and there was a huge backlash against Target, and in
15:26
Speaker 3: both instances bud Light and Target, billions of dollars were lost.
15:31
Speaker 3: Nike said, well, you know what, we want some of that.
15:35
Speaker 3: And Nike last week their stock fell to the lowest
15:38
Speaker 3: price in twelve years. And I'm reminded of a famous
15:43
Speaker 3: quote from Michael Jordan, which is that Republicans buy sneakers too.
15:48
Speaker 3: When you tell half the country I hate you, I
15:52
Speaker 3: look down on you, my politics. I'm a sneaker company,
15:56
Speaker 3: but I'm going to lecture to you that you too
15:58
Speaker 3: should hate America. Well, it turns out there real consequences,
16:01
Speaker 3: and Nike is facing those.
16:03
Speaker 2: Senator, I want to move to something that is concerning.
16:07
Speaker 2: We have seen a massive rise, not just in this
16:10
Speaker 2: country but also around the world of anti Semitism. We've
16:14
Speaker 2: also seen around the world Christians, those that identifies Christians
16:19
Speaker 2: that are being killed at a shocking rate around the world.
16:23
Speaker 2: And what we're also seeing, and I think these are
16:26
Speaker 2: tied together hand in hand, massive open anti semitism in
16:30
Speaker 2: the US, many times from elected officials on the left,
16:33
Speaker 2: and now we're starting to see just a straight up
16:35
Speaker 2: anti Christian rhetoric, this time coming from el said in
16:40
Speaker 2: taller Rico's running for Senate in Texas. And I think
16:43
Speaker 2: these two stories are absolutely tied together where you get
16:47
Speaker 2: people numb to it and then you can start coming
16:49
Speaker 2: out and just saying, hey, I hate Christians too.
16:52
Speaker 4: Well.
16:52
Speaker 3: What we're seeing is the rise of radicalism, and the
16:55
Speaker 3: rise of radicalism manifested in a terror plot in New
16:58
Speaker 3: York that, thankfully the FBI just stopped, the rise of
17:01
Speaker 3: radicalism manifested in corporate America and Nike making the decision
17:04
Speaker 3: to go all in on anti Americanism, and the rise
17:08
Speaker 3: of radicalism in the Democrat Party, the rise of Marxism
17:11
Speaker 3: and Islamists, not as fringe characters in the parties, but
17:16
Speaker 3: at the very heart of the party, where the energy is,
17:18
Speaker 3: where the young people are. And I'll say two candidates
17:22
Speaker 3: in particular who are really extreme, although there are others
17:25
Speaker 3: and we've covered them at great length, but let's talk
17:26
Speaker 3: about James tall Rico and let's talk about Abdul. I'll
17:29
Speaker 3: say James Tallerco is the Democrat nominee in Texas, and
17:33
Speaker 3: this is a guy who styles himself a preacher and
17:37
Speaker 3: yet is as woke and radical as you have ever seen.
17:41
Speaker 3: And I want to focus on a couple of things
17:44
Speaker 3: tall Rico has said. And for one thing, he gave
17:47
Speaker 3: a sermon. He gave a sermon, and this may surprise you.
17:50
Speaker 3: The title of the sermon is God is not a Christian. Now,
17:56
Speaker 3: this guy is theoretically a Christian pastor. Here's what he
17:59
Speaker 3: stood up and said. There's so many pathways to the sacred.
18:03
Speaker 3: The Islamic mystic Rumy said, every religion has love, but
18:06
Speaker 3: love has no religion. God is so much bigger than
18:08
Speaker 3: our human categories.
18:10
Speaker 1: Quote.
18:11
Speaker 3: God is not a Presbyterian. God is not a Christian.
18:15
Speaker 3: God is not a noun at all. God is a verb.
18:18
Speaker 3: God is not a being. God is being self. God
18:21
Speaker 3: is love. And that's why Jesus is against anything that
18:23
Speaker 3: gets in the way of love between neighbors, including religion. Now,
18:28
Speaker 3: I don't know what the hell that is, but I'll
18:30
Speaker 3: tell you what it Isn't It isn't Christianity. Yeah, when
18:34
Speaker 3: James Tallarico stands up and says God is not a Christian,
18:37
Speaker 3: Jesus says, I am the way, the truth in the life.
18:40
Speaker 3: No man comes to the Father but by me that
18:42
Speaker 3: that's what Jesus preached. And we see this pattern. By
18:47
Speaker 3: the way, there are others. You look at the Democrat
18:50
Speaker 3: who is running for Senate in Kansas who likewise stood
18:53
Speaker 3: up and preached that, hey, you know, you don't have
18:57
Speaker 3: to believe in Jesus to be saved. Now now look,
18:59
Speaker 3: someone is entit to believe that. But the heart of Christianity,
19:02
Speaker 3: the essence of Christianity, is that, yes, you do, you
19:06
Speaker 3: do have to believe in Jesus to be saved. And
19:08
Speaker 3: yet tallar Rico is leaning in and saying God is
19:12
Speaker 3: not a Christian and he's claiming that is in fact Christianity.
19:17
Speaker 3: That is also, sadly the heart of today's Democrat radicals.
19:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's part of it. And you look at just
19:25
Speaker 2: these two individuals. One of the reasons, which I also
19:28
Speaker 2: think is the scary part, is tall Rico is a
19:34
Speaker 2: you know, a wolf in sheep's close here where they
19:37
Speaker 2: ran him in Texas saying hey, this will be palatable
19:41
Speaker 2: to conservatives and independence You're going to have a guy
19:45
Speaker 2: here who is a pastor. Right, That's how they that's
19:48
Speaker 2: how they rolled him out. But when you start looking
19:50
Speaker 2: at his sermons, you find this level of marketism. Yeah,
19:54
Speaker 2: it's how they market him, but you find this level
19:56
Speaker 2: of radicalism, and it's on so many different things. He
20:00
Speaker 2: said that, You're like, what world are we living in
20:02
Speaker 2: if this is the definition of a pastor?
20:04
Speaker 3: Well tell Rico, also in the same sermon, stood up
20:07
Speaker 3: and explained the top reasons why beer is better than religion.
20:13
Speaker 3: Number One, when you have beer, you don't knock on
20:15
Speaker 3: people's door trying to give it away. Number two, there
20:19
Speaker 3: are laws against forcing beer on miners who can't think
20:21
Speaker 3: for themselves. Number Three, nobody's ever been burned at the
20:24
Speaker 3: stake because of their favorite brand of beer. Number four,
20:27
Speaker 3: you don't have to wait more than two thousand years
20:29
Speaker 3: for a second beer. Now, look, I could see David
20:35
Speaker 3: Letterman doing that top ten list, But this is a
20:38
Speaker 3: Christian pastor and the things he is mocking. Are there
20:44
Speaker 3: hypocrites among Christian pastors? Among Christians? Of course, are there
20:47
Speaker 3: things to make fun of televangelists. All of that is
20:50
Speaker 3: certainly legitimate and worth making fun of. But what is
20:54
Speaker 3: he making fun of? The First thing he's making fun
20:56
Speaker 3: of is knocking on doors trying to give it away,
20:58
Speaker 3: he's actually preaching the gospel vangelism. He's he's saying that that.
21:02
Speaker 3: He's laughing at that. Now he's saying, their laws against
21:05
Speaker 3: forcing beer on miners who can't think for themselves. He's saying,
21:07
Speaker 3: you shouldn't preach the Gospel to kids. You shouldn't teach
21:10
Speaker 3: your kids the Bible. He the joke, you don't have
21:14
Speaker 3: to wait more than two thousand years for a second beer. Okay,
21:19
Speaker 3: that's just there is a reason why he said, and
21:22
Speaker 3: this is his own words, he is embarrassed to be
21:26
Speaker 3: a Christian. Well, well you can tell because because for him,
21:31
Speaker 3: his politics is front and center. And and that's part
21:35
Speaker 3: of the problem on the left is that politics has
21:38
Speaker 3: become their faith. It is replaced you know. You know, look,
21:43
Speaker 3: you and I both both go to the same church,
21:45
Speaker 3: First Baptist Church in Houston. And I will say, as
21:49
Speaker 3: a believer, one of the things I look for in
21:51
Speaker 3: a pastor, in fact, front and center is is is
21:54
Speaker 3: the pastor following the Bible? Is the pastor when when
21:57
Speaker 3: when the pastor preaches on Sundays, is he reading from
22:01
Speaker 3: scripture and teaching scripture and looking to the Bible for truth?
22:06
Speaker 3: What is missing uh, from this sermon he does invoke
22:10
Speaker 3: and islamis missed us mystic But what is missing is
22:13
Speaker 3: actually the Bible, the Word of God and that radicalism.
22:18
Speaker 3: Let let's take another piece of it with tall Ico,
22:22
Speaker 3: which is the horrific case in Texas of Carmelo Anthony. Now,
22:28
Speaker 3: Camaro Carmelo Anthony stabbed a teenage boy, a white football star,
22:34
Speaker 3: stabbed him in the chest and murdered him. And it
22:37
Speaker 3: there's no dispute that he's guilty. There's no dispute that
22:40
Speaker 3: he did it. He walked up and just murdered this kid.
22:43
Speaker 3: And it's become a racial cause celeb And what Tallarico
22:49
Speaker 3: said in an interview on a black radio show, he said,
22:53
Speaker 3: the conviction of Anthony is proof that the criminal justice
22:58
Speaker 3: system quote is not working for black Texans right now,
23:03
Speaker 3: We've got a system that doesn't serve all Americans equally,
23:05
Speaker 3: and we know that black Texans have been have not
23:09
Speaker 3: gotten the justice they deserve. Now, let me ask, what
23:13
Speaker 3: the hell does tall Rico want? Does he think it's
23:15
Speaker 3: okay to stab teenagers in the heart and murder them.
23:19
Speaker 3: He is literally arguing we should not convict and imprison
23:24
Speaker 3: murderers and there's no dispute about guilt. Everyone knows Anthony
23:27
Speaker 3: committed the crime. But because of the race hustlers who say, well, yeah,
23:32
Speaker 3: but he's a black teenager, so apparently murdering this this
23:34
Speaker 3: by the way, this white kid who did nothing. There
23:36
Speaker 3: was no impetus for this other than just cold blooded murder.
23:43
Speaker 3: And yet Tallarico embraces that and says, hey, this is
23:47
Speaker 3: proof the system is rigged. This is an example of
23:50
Speaker 3: political ideology dominating the radicals and the Democrats.
23:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talk about tall Rico there, and even you know,
23:59
Speaker 2: Al say it's interesting to see what he actually believes in,
24:02
Speaker 2: and then he tries to morph into this like Christian
24:06
Speaker 2: faith thing. He did it on a podcast recently and
24:09
Speaker 2: it just didn't land very well.
24:11
Speaker 1: Take a listen.
24:12
Speaker 5: Oh, you know, Jesus' piece and Blessings to be upon
24:14
Speaker 5: him was considered radical in his time too, and there
24:19
Speaker 5: is a radical nature to being willing to stand forthright
24:24
Speaker 5: in a time of corruption.
24:26
Speaker 1: Wow.
24:27
Speaker 2: I mean you start mixing face there and saying that
24:31
Speaker 2: Jesus was a radical, not in the way that he
24:33
Speaker 2: thinks radicalism should be.
24:35
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, like they're very different radicals here.
24:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, Look, Jesus was a radical. But what al Sayid
24:41
Speaker 3: is doing is comparing himself to Jesus and saying I'm
24:43
Speaker 3: just like Jesus. And I got to say, no, he's not.
24:45
Speaker 3: And yet listen to Chuck Schumer embracing al said.
24:49
Speaker 6: Look, the bottom line is we're gonna win Michigan. Let
24:51
Speaker 6: me tell you why we're gonna win Michigan. First, l
24:55
Speaker 6: sayed has brought in new energy and new talent into
25:00
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party.
25:02
Speaker 3: Well, Schumer says that Al said has brought new energy
25:05
Speaker 3: and new talent into the Democrat Party. I got to say,
25:08
Speaker 3: there is nothing new about Islamism. There's nothing new about Marxism.
25:13
Speaker 3: What is new is that the Democrat Party is embracing it.
25:17
Speaker 3: And Schumer listened all to Schumer cares about his winning
25:19
Speaker 3: and so if he has to embrace the Mondamis of
25:22
Speaker 3: the world, the Al Sa'id's of the world, the tall
25:24
Speaker 3: Ricos of the world, Schumer and the Democrat leadership is
25:27
Speaker 3: prepared to do that. And that radicalism is and by
25:31
Speaker 3: the way, that radicalism will consume Chuck Schumer. Chuck Schumer
25:34
Speaker 3: cannot win a Democrat primary, and yet he's going to
25:37
Speaker 3: try to keep embracing these radicals and embracing them more
25:40
Speaker 3: and more. And that is you know, I've said before,
25:45
Speaker 3: there's some Republicans who are celebrating it, going, Okay, this
25:47
Speaker 3: is great. The Democrat Party has gone nuts. That means
25:50
Speaker 3: we're more likely to win in November. Listen, I don't
25:53
Speaker 3: celebrate it. We have two major parties in this country.
25:56
Speaker 3: Politics in America has been a pendulum. At some point,
26:00
Speaker 3: the Democrats will win, They will win the White House,
26:02
Speaker 3: and I would like two parties that have relatively normal,
26:07
Speaker 3: sane people. I'm not celebrating one of our two parties
26:11
Speaker 3: being an openly communist, Islamist radical party because that's bad
26:16
Speaker 3: for America. And yet Democrat leadership is enthusiastically embracing it.
26:21
Speaker 2: All right, Sena, I want to get into this national
26:23
Speaker 2: security issue. The media not talking about it. But Hassan
26:28
Speaker 2: Piker's got a wingman brother. He is a space engineer
26:31
Speaker 2: with security clearance. Now that on its face not a
26:34
Speaker 2: big deal. What's a big deal?
26:36
Speaker 6: Is it?
26:37
Speaker 1: Details behind the brother?
26:38
Speaker 3: Well, let's start with Hasan Piker. Hassan Piker is a radical.
26:42
Speaker 3: This is this entire show we've been talking about the
26:44
Speaker 3: radicals who sadly, are becoming more and more commonplace on
26:48
Speaker 3: the left, more and more commonplace in the Democrat Party,
26:51
Speaker 3: and a son Piker is a great example of He's
26:53
Speaker 3: an influencer who the Democrats have embraced. He is a communist,
26:57
Speaker 3: he is an Islamist. He hates an America, he routinely rails.
27:02
Speaker 3: He hates African Americans, he hates white Americans. He hates
27:05
Speaker 3: the United States of America. He has said, and this
27:08
Speaker 3: is a quote, America deserved nine to eleven. This is
27:13
Speaker 3: and by the way, abdu al al Sad and other
27:15
Speaker 3: Democrats campaign with him, embrace him. Look by when they
27:20
Speaker 3: stand next to him and both figuratively and literally embrace
27:24
Speaker 3: him that they're saying they support his ideas well. Turns out,
27:27
Speaker 3: Hassan Piker has a brother, and his brother is in
27:31
Speaker 3: a position that if he believes the same thing Hassan does,
27:34
Speaker 3: he's in a position to do real damage. Here's a
27:36
Speaker 3: story from the Washington Freebeacon. Hassan Piker's younger brother is
27:40
Speaker 3: an aerospace engineer with security clearances who spent years working
27:45
Speaker 3: on US military projects for Boeing. Projects that include Air
27:49
Speaker 3: Force one and the top secret quote doomsday plane designed
27:54
Speaker 3: for nuclear war. Now, let's see, is this guy, maybe
27:57
Speaker 3: the brother he doesn't have anything to do with, hasan piker.
28:00
Speaker 3: He doesn't agree with his views. Maybe they're a strange
28:02
Speaker 3: that might be a different circumstance. Well, it turns out
28:05
Speaker 3: that is not the case. Let me continue reading. Murat Piker,
28:09
Speaker 3: an engineer who spent more than a decade at Boeing,
28:12
Speaker 3: regularly appears on his older brother's controversial social media channel
28:17
Speaker 3: and has also accompanied him to events. Hassan has declared
28:23
Speaker 3: that quote America deserved nine to eleven, bragged about his
28:26
Speaker 3: support for hamas spoken in favor of Iran's right to
28:29
Speaker 3: defend itself, and blamed Iran's death to America and great
28:32
Speaker 3: Satan rhetoric on the United States quote messing around in
28:35
Speaker 3: the Middle East. Well, his kid brother, Murt worked as
28:40
Speaker 3: a full time employe at Boeing for more than a
28:42
Speaker 3: decade and left on his own of his own volition
28:46
Speaker 3: earlier this year. He said, quote my background includes significant
28:51
Speaker 3: experience at Boeing Space and Defense, where I led mechanical
28:54
Speaker 3: design and integration for next generation satellite structures, managed high
28:59
Speaker 3: pressure anomaly investigations, and define structural interfaces across subsystems. That's
29:04
Speaker 3: what he That's what Marat says on his LinkedIn page. Uh.
29:10
Speaker 3: Marot and Hassan Piker were both born in New Jersey,
29:13
Speaker 3: but they did their primary and their secondary schooling in Turkey.
29:18
Speaker 7: Uh.
29:18
Speaker 3: Maurat worked on Air Force one.
29:21
Speaker 6: Uh.
29:21
Speaker 3: And you just you have to ask. I don't know
29:25
Speaker 3: if if Marot shares his brother's hatred for America as
29:29
Speaker 3: brothers embrace of radical Islam. But given that they they
29:35
Speaker 3: have done Hassan Piker's show repeatedly together, gone to events together,
29:39
Speaker 3: that is a reasonable inference, and it's a reasonable question,
29:43
Speaker 3: and it raises the question. Listen, if this is someone
29:46
Speaker 3: that hates America and wants to do damage to America,
29:49
Speaker 3: what harm could he do with security clearances working for
29:52
Speaker 3: Boeing and for the military on very very sensitive projects.
29:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, very sensitive projects. And you know when you look
29:59
Speaker 2: at this, it's being exposed. I'm glad by the way
30:03
Speaker 2: for the work to Washington Free Beacon has done yet
30:06
Speaker 2: again another example center of a major story that has
30:10
Speaker 2: asked security implications, and the mainstream media just completely looks
30:16
Speaker 2: the other way.
30:18
Speaker 3: Well, they do because they don't want to cover this
30:20
Speaker 3: that they don't want to cover the fact and understand
30:24
Speaker 3: that when Chuck Schumer, when Abdul I'll say ed had
30:28
Speaker 3: been asked, do they distance themselves from Hassan Piker, they
30:34
Speaker 3: consistently say no, that they want these radicals here. Give
30:38
Speaker 3: a listen to ro Kana, who is the Democrat congressman
30:42
Speaker 3: being asked if Democrats should distance themselves distance themselves from
30:46
Speaker 3: radical Hassan Piker.
30:48
Speaker 7: You stuck your nckout for progressives like Abdulla say you
30:50
Speaker 7: also supported Plattner before the allegations came out. You've also
30:54
Speaker 7: stuck your nickout for Hassan Piker. And you've seen that
30:57
Speaker 7: Hassan Piker is now being attacked. Twenty four seven on Fox,
31:00
Speaker 7: here's Hailey Stevens going on Fox and saying, well, the
31:04
Speaker 7: first thing you know, how I'll say it could moderate
31:06
Speaker 7: to voters is to get rid of the Piker affiliation.
31:09
Speaker 7: You've seen near attendant retweet Laura Lumer's attack on Hassan Piker.
31:15
Speaker 7: Your comment on Hassan Piker, what should the Democrats do
31:19
Speaker 7: with them? Should they abandon him? Do you renounce your
31:22
Speaker 7: support of him? You tell me Roe, give it to
31:25
Speaker 7: me straight.
31:27
Speaker 1: It's absurd.
31:28
Speaker 4: I mean, these are the same people who were at
31:30
Speaker 4: one point criticizing Democrats for going on Joe Rogan. I mean,
31:35
Speaker 4: remember when Bernie went on Joe Rogan. The same the
31:37
Speaker 4: people who said, oh, you can't go on Joe Rogan.
31:39
Speaker 4: These are the same folks who criticized me when I
31:41
Speaker 4: got went on Ben Shapiro. Should I not go on
31:44
Speaker 4: Ben Shapiro's podcast because I disagree with him? We had
31:48
Speaker 4: a horror argument on the minimum wage. Just because someone
31:51
Speaker 4: is engaging with Hassan Piker, who has strong viewpoints on
31:57
Speaker 4: these issues, doesn't mean that you're endorsing every single one
32:01
Speaker 4: of Hassan Piker's positions. And if you're going to argue
32:05
Speaker 4: that we should exclude a left wing commentators, and frankly,
32:11
Speaker 4: some of these people were arguing that we should be
32:14
Speaker 4: canceling and excluding right wing commentators, you're left with a
32:17
Speaker 4: party that is basically a status quo party. That's why
32:21
Speaker 4: we lost to elections.
32:23
Speaker 2: By the way, I love how he's sitting there. He's like, Oh,
32:26
Speaker 2: it's no different than me going on Ben Shapiro show.
32:29
Speaker 2: Ben Shapiro is not a radical in the way that
32:32
Speaker 2: you would have to defend the son Piker and yet
32:35
Speaker 2: to compare that to going, oh, I just take a
32:37
Speaker 2: risk on these guys because you know, I'm not gonna
32:39
Speaker 2: agree with everything they say. Look at what you're endorsing.
32:42
Speaker 2: It is radical, extreme and crazy.
32:45
Speaker 3: Well, and look, Rocanna was someone who got elected to
32:48
Speaker 3: Congress from Silicon Valley. He was someone who got elected
32:52
Speaker 3: with the support of the tech bros. And in his
32:54
Speaker 3: initial brand was kind of a moderate, common sense Democrat.
32:58
Speaker 3: And then he looked around the Democrat party and said,
33:00
Speaker 3: wait a second, nobody wants moderate, common sense Democrats. And
33:03
Speaker 3: so he's decided to go hard, hard left. As the
33:07
Speaker 3: beginning of that interview showed, he went up to Maine
33:09
Speaker 3: and embraced Graham Platnir and said, hey, this is great.
33:12
Speaker 3: You know, a Nazi communist my kind of guy. And so,
33:16
Speaker 3: you know, you listen to what Conna said there. He said, well,
33:19
Speaker 3: just because they're engaging that that was the verbe used
33:23
Speaker 3: engaging with Hassan Piker. Let's be clear, al Sayid is
33:27
Speaker 3: not engaging with Hassan Piker. He's not saying, you know, Hassan,
33:30
Speaker 3: I actually think you're wrong when you say America deserved
33:33
Speaker 3: nine to eleven. I don't think we deserve to be
33:35
Speaker 3: attacked by Islamist terrorists who murdered nearly three thousand people.
33:39
Speaker 3: They're not engaging, they're embracing, they're celebrating, they're adopting. It
33:43
Speaker 3: is who they are. And I will say, you know,
33:46
Speaker 3: there's the old line that that hypocrisy is the tribute
33:49
Speaker 3: that vice pays to virtue. Rokanna is rich as hell
33:56
Speaker 3: and the latest news story said he traded one hundred
34:00
Speaker 3: sixty five million dollars in trades. He made over five
34:05
Speaker 3: thousand trades last year. I don't think members of Congress
34:08
Speaker 3: should be buying and selling stock and getting rich. And
34:12
Speaker 3: this is a great example of the hypocrisy, which is
34:15
Speaker 3: that they embrace Marxism while living is complete and utter hypocrites.
34:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great point there.
34:21
Speaker 2: Want to remind you if you're listening to the show,
34:23
Speaker 2: don't forget Center Cruz and I do the show as
