Obama’s Same Hope & No Change Speech, Starstruck Media for El-Said plus The Alarm Sounds—Go Vote! Week In Review · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome, it is Verdict with Ted Cruz, Week in Review,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Ben Ferguson with you, and these are the stories that
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: you may have missed that we talked about this week.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: First up, Barack Obama hits the campaign trail with more
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: lies than hope and change, this time in Ohio, and
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: we have the receipts to prove exactly what he said
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and how wrong it really was. Up next, it was
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: shocking to see how quickly the liberal media laid down
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: when they were interviewing El-Said. What questions did they not
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: ask on purpose? What did they not press him on?
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: A lot.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: And we'll break that down for you as well.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: And finally, as we are just days away from the election,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: what is it that you need to know about showing
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: up to vote?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Senator Cruz and I break that down for you as well.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: It's the Week in Review, and it starts right now. Senator,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: can we just go back in history and remind people
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: about the pallets of cash that were sent by these, quote,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: serious people in the Democratic Party to appease the Iranian
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: regime that chanced death to America, that was clearly trying
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to get a nuclear weapon, who says they want to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: annihilate Israel, wipe them off the map. Because that's his
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: definition of a serious person who takes pallets of cash
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and sends it to them saying, please don't do that,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: here's money.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry, Ben, you're doing something that is not permissible
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: with a Barack Obama speech, which is you're actually bringing facts.
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: and substance. We can't have that. This is political oratory.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: This is rhetoric. This is partisan lies. You are, of course,
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: exactly right. And this is a good example, A, of
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: how Obama has always done it, but B, where the
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: Democrats are going to go the next two years, which is,
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: number one, just flat-out lie. So his lie is that
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Iran did not have nuclear weapons and it wasn't going
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: to get nuclear weapons because the Obama-Iran nuclear deal was
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: going to prevent them from getting nuclear weapons. That is
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: an absolute lie. Now, it's a lie that begins by minimizing,
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: by ignoring the threat that Iran poses. You notice nowhere
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: in Obama's speech was there any acknowledgement of the Ayatollah
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: routinely leading mobs of thousands upon thousands of people chanting
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: death to America. nowhere was any acknowledgment that the Ayatollah
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: and the Islamic regime in Iran was responsible for murdering
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: nearly a thousand Americans, mostly servicemen and women, that they
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: have killed year after year after year. Nowhere was there
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: any acknowledgment that Iran is the lead state sponsor of
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: terrorism on the globe, the lead funder of Hamas and Hezbollah,
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: and that they have been actively waging war with Americans
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: trying to kill us. Nowhere was there any acknowledgment that
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Iran has invested billions of dollars into developing not just
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons, but developing ICBMs. Now, an ICBM, ICBM stands
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. You don't need an ICBM to
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: get to Israel. An ordinary ballistic missile will go from
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: Iran to Israel. You need an ICBM to take a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapon from Iran to the United States. 100% of
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: the purpose of their ICBM program is to be able
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: to to deliver a nuclear warhead and detonate a nuclear
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: warhead in the United States, most likely New York or D.C.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: or Los Angeles, or for that matter, where you and
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: I live, Houston, all of those are cities Iran could target,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and any one of which a nuclear weapon detonated above
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: those cities could kill millions of Americans in a flash
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: of an eye. None of that is acknowledged. The Obama-Iran
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: nuclear deal was designed inevitably to allow Iran to get
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: nuclear weapons. Barack Obama believes it is perfectly fine for
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: the Ayatollah to have nuclear weapons. He believes it is unfair,
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: it is colonialist of America to try to stop Iran
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: from getting nuclear weapons. On the terms of the deal,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the terms of the deal carved out major sections of
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Iran that were not subject to inspections. Anything that Iran
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: designated as a, quote, sensitive military facility was exempted from inspections. Well,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: guess where they were doing all their nuclear weapons research?
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: In sensitive military facilities. Even the non-sensitive facilities. The deal
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: that Obama signed contemplated Iran inspecting itself. Iran sending its
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: own inspectors to go in. It's a little bit like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: you know, if you're in the movie Scarface. the police
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: calling up Tony Montana going, hey, Tony, you have any drugs?
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: No, man, no, man, I got no drugs.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: I got no drugs at all, nothing at all. Okay, Tony,
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: thank you, thank you, I appreciate that. All right, fully inspected.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: That was basically the Obama-Iran nuclear deal. Call the Ayatollah,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: ask if he has nukes. If he says no, trust him.
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: And finally, with the weakest strictures possible, Even those strictures
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: under the Obama deal all went away in 15 years.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: The entire deal sunsetted in 15 years, which means in
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: 15 years, Obama was saying, then you could most definitely
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: develop a nuclear weapon completely free of sanctions. You can
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: build it in the open and we will say nothing
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: and do nothing to stop you. It was a disastrous deal.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: The single most important decision President Trump made in his
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: first term was to rip up the disastrous Iran nuclear deal.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: That made America much, much safer. That was a decision
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: I very vigorously urged the president to do. He agreed
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: with me and he did that. This also illustrates how
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: Obama and the Democrats are going to combine their lies
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: about Iran, minimizing the threat, claiming falsely that the Obama
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: deal had any threat neutralized. They're going to use it, though,
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: to connect it to every bit, 100% of the economic pressure,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: the very real economic pressure people are feeling. Look, inflation
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: is real. And inflation is real because we had four
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: years of Joe Biden where inflation was out of control. Now,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: inflation has dropped dramatically. It is much more manageable now
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: than it was under the Biden administration, but that doesn't
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: mean prices have gotten cheaper. Under Biden, they rose massively.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: They're now rising more slowly, but they're rising from the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: higher base of four years of Biden inflation baked in.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: And this is the Democrats' entire strategy. They're trying to
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: say everything you pay more for. Yes, gasoline at the pump. Yes, diesel.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, jet fuel.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: But also, yes, food.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Yes, homes.
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: Everything they are going to blame on President Trump and
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: the Iran war. This is a real foreshadowing of 100,000
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: TV commercials that are coming of hearing and hearing and
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: hearing and candidate after candidate after candidate, all of whom
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: are going to echo Barack Obama's messaging right here. Yeah.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: Listen, by the way, to his closing statement and what
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: he said.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: If our fundamental attitude to each other is to try
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and hurt other people so they don't hurt us first,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: we're driven by fear instead of by hope. if we
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: think it's okay to snatch children from parents or cut
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: programs for the aged or the infirm so the powerful
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: can get whatever they want, we will continue to fester
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: in anger and division.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: And I don't know about you, but I'm tired of
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: being angry.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And I'm tired of being divided. I want to reach
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: out and shake my neighbor's hand. I want to get
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to work doing something for somebody else. We didn't get
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: into this moment overnight. We won't get out of it overnight.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: And none of us should pretend that any single person
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: in any single office is somehow going to save the
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: day for us and that the rest of us can
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: just go back to acting the same way. We're going
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: to have to all make some changes, but Ohio, here's
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: what I know. This election can be a start. This
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: election can be an inflection point. This election can be
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: a course correction in America's long journey toward a more
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: perfect union. Because if we're willing to turn out in
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: big numbers here in Ohio and across the country, if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we're willing to vote for change and vote for Democrats
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: up and down the ballot, then this election might just
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: mark the moment this country began moving in a better direction.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: When we leave our worst impulses behind and start aligning
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: our politics with our highest ideals, Ohio, you and I
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: have proved before that it is hard to stop a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: change whose time has come. In ten days, you have
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: a chance to do it again. So I'm asking you,
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: are you fired up? Are you ready to go? Let's
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: make Amy Acton governor. Let's make Sheryl Brown senator. Let's
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: get on the path to making America better. Thank you.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: I love you.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: God bless you.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, I love how he fires them up
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: at the end. He says, let's make America better instead
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of make America great.
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: That kind of made me laugh.
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: Well, look. That entire closing reminds you of the power
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: of Barack Obama. Part three of this speech was 100%
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: hope and change.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: And don't underestimate hope and change. This guy is the
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: best P.T.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Barnum.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Sell one thing and deliver another. that I think politics
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: has ever produced. He's very good at the hopey-changey stuff.
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Like it, I'm inspired. I'm tired of being angry. I
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: want to reach over and shake the hand of my neighbor. Like,
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: that's good stuff. Now, mind you, it's an absolute lie.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Barack Obama doesn't want to shake anyone's hands. look, when
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: he was president, I was in the Senate when he
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: was president, he is so arrogant and aloof. It actually
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: limited his effectiveness because he could not be bothered to
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: talk to senators or house members or really anybody that
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: everyone was beneath him. And Democrat senators would complain about this.
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: Like when Obama was president, he wouldn't talk to them.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a partisan thing. He just thought that like
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: he was from a higher plane and all the rest
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: of us were were subjects that he was there to rule.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: I mean, he really did think he was King Barack.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: And in terms of, you know, he wants to shake
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: the hand of his neighbor. Well, you know, interestingly enough,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: he had an opportunity to do that. He had an
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: opportunity to shake the hand of his neighbor during the
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden presidency. And that was when, you'll recall, I suggested,
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: actually filed legislation to change the port of entry for
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket and the Hamptons.
• 11:17
  Speaker 4: and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, which is where Biden vacationed. And
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: if they were going to allow 12 million illegal immigrants
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: to invade our nation, they should actually have to see
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: those illegal immigrants that they're inviting to our country and
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: care for them. And you'll recall Ron DeSantis in Florida
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: implemented the idea that I had proposed, and he put
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: together a plane full of illegal immigrants, and he flew
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: them to Martha's Vineyard. And at the time I had
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: filed my legislation, the county executive at Martha's Vineyard, the
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: equivalent of the mayor, had put out a public statement.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: And he blasted me for filing this legislation. He said,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Cruz doesn't understand. He doesn't understand immigration. And he said,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: if illegal immigrants came to Martha's Vineyard, we would welcome
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: them here. Well, they did come because Ron DeSantis sent them.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: And what happened?
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: Within 24 hours, that very same county executive declared an emergency.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: And within 72 hours, they had forcibly removed every single
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: one of the illegal immigrants from Martha's Vineyard. Understand, Barack
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: Obama and Michelle Obama have a palatial mansion in Martha's Vineyard.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Did Barack Obama reach out and shake the hand of
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: his neighbor? Did he say, hey, these illegals, I've got,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: you know... 57 rooms, or I don't know how many
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: rooms he has. I've got a lot of rooms in
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: my mansion. Why don't we set up some cots and
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: put some of these illegals in my house?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no.
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: Obama didn't say a word. He didn't want to shake
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: their hand. He just sat there while they declared an
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: emergency and removed them because, look, if you're a rich liberal,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: you've got Chardonnay to sip. You've got cheese to poke
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: with your little toothpick. And you cannot be bothered to
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: get around the dirty masses. You know, you have... Instead,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: what you do is you dupe the masses. Instead, you
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: do what Obama does, which is you lie to them.
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: You say, listen, we've got to be nice. We've got
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: to be kind. We've got to be loving.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And....
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: That would be more effective if we didn't have eight
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: years of Obama's presidency, because during that presidency, he wasn't kind.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: He wasn't loving.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: He was hateful.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: He hated his opposition. He demonized his opposition. He went
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: after them viciously, but he's very good at selling it
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: as something that it's not. And so I want all
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: of y'all just to reflect. This podcast is the crystal
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: ball podcast. It is telling you exactly what to expect.
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: In all of 2027 and all of 2028, this is
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: where the Democrats are going, and we need to be
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: ready to counter it.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Now, if you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to the full podcast
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: from earlier this week.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: Now on to story number two.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is the exact. I mean, it would
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: be like asking Adolf Hitler, did you gas the Jews?
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: And he says no.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: And you're like, all right, even though there's evidence that
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that is how absurd this moment was.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: On Meet the Press.
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Yet it actually happened. And you saw it was only what,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: 15 seconds long. It's embarrassing. But they did it because
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: they wanted the narrative to get out there. that he
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: is some sort of mainstream normal guy that has no
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: connections to terrorism, no connections to radical extremist Muslim ideas, organizations, groups,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: and they want to put it all to bed so
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: he can finish out the campaign by saying, I'm just
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: a normal guy that just wants to represent America in Congress.
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: Now, Senator, before we get to more of this.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Let's talk real quick about planning on getting your vote
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: counted for the midterms.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: The midterms are here.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: And the Democratic Socialists of America, if they win, they're
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: going to push a radical socialist agenda and they're going
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: to drown President Trump in endless investigations. I've already said
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that publicly. Now, we've seen this playbook before. They've tried
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: impeaching him. They've tried putting him in prison. They've tried everything.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: So don't let them win, because if we lose, they're
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: going to undo everything our movement has fought for. Now,
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: I need you to vote early so that you can
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: bank your vote and fight back against the left's turnout machine.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: And they are turning out.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Go to GOP votes dot org right now and find
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: out where you can vote. Now, if you live in
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: the critical Senate battleground states of Maine or Ohio, early
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: voting is already underway starting this week. So make your
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: voice heard. It's easier than ever. You can get election reminders.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You can look up your polling location and pick a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: date to vote early. Go to GOP votes dot org today.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Paid for by the SLF PAC, not authorized by any
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: candidate or candidates committee.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: So let's get back into this story. And again, there's
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: the scary part is there's even more to this.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: So in 2018, there was a documentary that showed El-Sayed
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: asking filmmakers to keep his living room bookshelf out of
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: the frame to, quote, keep the shot secular. So now
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: what do you think that bookshelf held that he was
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: trying to keep out of the documentary because he didn't
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: want people to see that? By the way, this is
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: not just a book he had somewhere that he proudly
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: displays in his living room.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: Well, it included works by Abu Aminah Bilal Phillips, who
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: is a 1993 World Trade Center bombing unindicted co-conspirator. It
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: also included books by Brotherhood member Muhammad al-Ghazali, a Jamaat
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: al-Islami member, and also by.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Shakul Islam Ibn Taimiya, whose writings both Al-Qaeda and ISIS cite.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: His campaign later said, this was not Abdul's bookshelf. It
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: was apparently another bookshelf someone smuggled into his living room
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: against his wishes. And they said, a background book is, quote,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: not an endorsement. This is, again, apparently someone mysteriously is
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: putting books in his living room. Now, I want to
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: stop and go back to a foundational question. The evidence
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: is overwhelming that Abdul Al-Sayed is a supporter of the
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Muslim Brotherhood, that his family, as his sister says, have
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: long been Muslim Brotherhood supporters. But let's stop for a
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: second and say, what is the Muslim Brotherhood? Should we
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: be worried? I mean, look, Brotherhood is nice, right? What's
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: wrong with Brotherhood? So let's do a little bit of
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: background as to what the Muslim Brotherhood is. The Muslim
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: Brotherhood whose technical name is Al-Ikwan Al-Muslimun, is a transnational
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Sunni Islamist movement founded in Egypt in 1928 by schoolteacher
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: Hassan al-Banna, whose stated aim was government by Sharia and
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: ultimately a global Islamic order. The Muslim Brotherhood's motto declares, quote,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: The Koran is our constitution. Jihad is our way. Death
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: for the sake of Allah is our wish. Al-Banna's doctrine
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: of tamkeen, which means empowerment, lays out a stage path
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: for reforming individual Muslims to building loyal communities to taking
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: state power. Brotherhood members assassinated Egyptian Prime Minister Mahmoud al-Nakrashi
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: in 1948 and tried to kill Egyptian President Nasser in 1954.
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: And the writings of Brotherhood ideologue Sayyid Qutb later supplied
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: the theological framework for both al-Qaeda and ISIS.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: The theological framework. Let's say that just again.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: The theological framework is one of the people involved in
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: the Muslim Brotherhood for ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: The Brotherhood operates through national branches that adopt their tactics
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: to local conditions. Hamas is, by its own 1988 charter,
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: the Brotherhood's Palestinian branch. The Lebanese branch of the Muslim
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: Brotherhood fought alongside Hezbollah. Qatar, sir. as the movement's chief
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: state patron. In Egypt, the Brotherhood briefly held power under
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: President Mohamed Morsi from 2012 to 2013 before he was
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: removed and the group was banned as a terrorist organization.
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: In the United States, the Brotherhood built a network of
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: public-facing 501c3 and 501c4 organizations. In the Muslim Brotherhood's 1991
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: explanatory memorandum, which was seized by the FBI and entered
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: into evidence in the Holy Land Foundation trial, it describes
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: its U.S. mission, the U.S. mission of the in eliminating
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: and destroying the Western civilization from within. And it lists
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: the Islamic Society of North America, which Abdul Al-Sayed's father-in-law
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: was one of the founding members of, the Muslim Students Association,
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: and the North American Islamic Trust as among, quote, our organizations.
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: This is the Muslim Brotherhood saying these are our organizations.
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: After Hamas's founding, And in an effort to derail the
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: Oslo Accords, the U.S. Brotherhood created a, quote, Palestine Committee
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: in 1993. This group of Brotherhood officials raised money for
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: Hamas under the banner of an American C3 known as
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: the Holy Land Foundation. The Holy Land Foundation's leaders were
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: convicted in 2008 on all 108 counts of funneling roughly
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: $ 12 million to Hamas. And prosecutors named Kerr, and ISNA
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: and NAIT as unindicted co-conspirators. A federal judge ruled in
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: 2009 that the government has produced, quote, ample evidence linking CARE, ISNA,
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: and NAIT to the Holy Land Foundation and to Hamas.
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: Since then, President Trump, via Executive Order 14362, has has
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: begun the process of designating certain Muslim Brotherhood chapters as
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: foreign terrorist organizations and specially designated global terrorists. By the way,
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: that's something I have been fighting for for years, to
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, which President
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: Trump has taken major steps to do, and also designating
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: CARE as a terrorist organization, which has not happened yet,
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: although the state of Texas has done so.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: Isn't it amazing, Senator, that just you and I sitting
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: here can spend a half hour exposing exactly how he
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: has connected the Muslim Brotherhood. But in 12 seconds, NBC
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: News does the job for the entire media of saying
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: there is no Muslim Brotherhood there.
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: There's no fire. There's no smoke. He already denied it.
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: It's done. It is fact. We can move on.
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but look, NBC is covering up for him, but
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: you don't see ABC covering this or CBS or CNN
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: or MSNBC. None of them are covering this because at
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: this point, these are institutions where you've got many in
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: the leadership there want the Democrats to win. And listen,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I think the evidence is overwhelming that Abdul Al-Sayed's family
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: is directly connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, that they have
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: financial ties to the Muslim Brotherhoods, and that they have
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: been vocal supporters. If you do not believe me, believe
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: his sister who says, our family have long been Muslim Brotherhood.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: That's his own sister. And yet, Abdul Al-Sayed is lying
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: about it. By the way, the evidence is very clear
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: that Abdul Al-Sayed has long supported the Muslim Brotherhood. He
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: has written in support of the Muslim Brotherhood over and
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: over and over again. The largest donor to the super
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: PAC supporting his campaign is his father-in-law, who is a
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: founding member of an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Foundation case. The evidence is clear, and understand the threat.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: Close where we started. If Abdul Al-Sayed wins... By virtue
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: of being a senator, he will have access to classified information,
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: classified information about what the United States government is doing
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: to stop the Muslim Brotherhood, what the United States government
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: is doing to prevent terrorist attacks by the Muslim Brotherhood,
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: to prevent terrorist attacks by the Muslim Brotherhood against the
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: United States, against U.S. servicemen and women, against civilians in
• 24:22
  Speaker 4: American cities. And I believe if Abdul Al-Sayed has access
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: to that classified materials, that it will endanger the lives
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: of servicemen and women, American servicemen and women serving overseas,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: and that it will endanger the lives of U.S. intelligence
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: operatives serving overseas. This is a profound danger. And so, listen,
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: I hope Election Day is a great election where Republicans
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: keep the House and Senate, where we grow our majorities.
• 24:49
  Speaker 4: That would be a very good outcome.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: But what I... pray is that at a minimum, Abdul
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: Al-Said is not elected to the Senate and James Tallarico
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: in Texas is not elected to the Senate. These two
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: are radicals and they're dangerous for our country. And I
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: hope that everyone involved between now and election day does
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: everything they can to prevent that danger to our servicemen
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: and women, our intelligence operatives serving abroad and protecting this nation.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: As before, if you want to hear the rest of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: this conversation on this topic, you can go back and
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: download the podcast from earlier this week to hear the
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: entire thing. I want to get back to the big story,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: number three of the week you may have missed. Senator,
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: we're talking about the midterms. You're all over the country,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: that is, and working your tail off trying to help
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: get Republicans elected. There's three other states that we need
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: to break down real quick that you've been to, and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: let's do that.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: Well, just a couple of days ago, I was in Michigan.
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you, I'm encouraged by Michigan. Michigan is
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: a battleground state. Michigan's a swing state. Michigan voted for
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump, but right on the edge. It was very,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: very close. Michigan right now has two Democrat senators. I
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: think it is our single best pickup opportunity in the country.
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: And I believe Michigan, along with Texas, are the two
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: most important Senate races in the entire country. And a
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: big part of the reason is the Democrat nominees in
• 26:14
  Speaker 4: those two states are the most radical Democrat nominees, not
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: only in the whole country. I think they may well
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: be the most radical Democrat nominees in history, and they're
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: both profoundly dangerous. James Tallarico in Texas, we've talked a
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: lot about how extreme and radical he is. We're at
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: real risk of his winning. We've got to stop that. Michigan,
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: you've got Abdul Al-Sayed. And by the way, if you
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: did not listen to Wednesday's podcast, Wednesday's podcast laid out
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: the objective evidence that is overwhelming that Abdul Al-Sayed has
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: for decades been a vocal and passionate supporter of the
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood is a terrorist organization that
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: has murdered tens of thousands of people. And the objective
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: evidence is compelling. And so Mike Rogers is the Republican nominee.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: I think Mike is a really strong nominee, a really
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: strong candidate. He's an Army veteran. He served in the
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: FBI and in law enforcement. He represented Michigan for decades.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: And the energy on the ground was palpable. And I'll
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: tell you, people are really frightened about, you know, my
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: nickname for Al-Sayed was the jihadi leprechaun because he's a
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: little bitty guy. And actually, as I joked, the Irish
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: American Society issued a cease and desist order to ask
• 27:32
  Speaker 4: me to stop saying that. This guy, if Abdul Al-Sayed
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: is the next senator from Michigan, and understand that is
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: a very real possibility. This race is also, if not tied,
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: it's either plus one or two or minus one or two.
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: And the polls are all over the map, but they're
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: very close. If Abdul Al-Sayed is elected, it will move
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: the Democrat conference significantly to the left. And I've made
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: a prediction. If Abdul Al-Sayed is the next senator from Michigan,
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I believe the Democrat nominee for president in 2028 will
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: be AOC. The knock against AOC in the Democrat primary
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: is she's too extreme to be elected in the general.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: If Michigan, the quintessential swing state, elects an open communist
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: and Islamist, I think that argument gets blown out of
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: the water. And Look, Republicans might say, okay, that's great.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: If AOC is the nominee, we win. Listen, we are
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: such a divided country that if you think it is
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: impossible for AOC to win the general, you have not
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: been paying attention. New York City on 9-11, could anyone
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: have imagined that Zoran Mondami would be the mayor of
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: New York City?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: No.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see a Democrat nominee who is
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: a radical communist who hates America. And so Michigan, I think,
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: matters enormously. I think we're going to win in Michigan.
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: the momentum on the ground. There was an enthusiasm on
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: the ground in Michigan that I actually think was greater
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: than I felt in any of the states I was
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: campaigning in. So Michigan, I'm bullish on. I feel good
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: about that. From there, I went to Iowa. And Iowa
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: is an incredible state. Ashley Hinson is running for Senate there.
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: I'm a big fan of Ashley. I think she's a
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: great Senate candidate. She's a young mom. She's got two
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: teenage boys at home. She's a member of the House
• 29:25
  Speaker 4: right now. She's representative Iowa, she reflects Iowa values, common
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: sense conservative values. Her Democrat opponent, Josh Turek, has an
• 29:37
  Speaker 4: extreme left-wing voting record. He's voted repeatedly on immigration in
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: favor of amnesty. He supports amnesty for illegal aliens who
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: are convicted of drunk driving, which is just horrific. We
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: were in a community where a young woman, 21-year-old woman,
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: just graduated from college, was killed by a drunk driver
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: who was an illegal alien, who had been convicted of
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: drunk driving previously and been released. And then he drunk
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: drove again and killed this young woman. He wants to
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: grant amnesty because he thinks apparently drunk drivers, if they're illegal,
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: that's who we want in this country. I don't even
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: understand the reasoning behind that, but that's who he is.
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: And I'll tell you on the transgender agenda, Josh Turek,
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: he's voted in favor of men in girls' bathrooms, in
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: favor of boys in girls' sports. He's voted in favor
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: of government funding for transgender sex change surgeries for children. Now,
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: he's doing what James Tallarico has done. James Tallarico's voting
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: record is almost identical. But both of them are running
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: TV ads claiming to oppose everything they voted for. They're
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: trying to lie to the voters. I think Ashley Hinson's
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: going to win in Iowa also, but it is turnout, turnout, turnout,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: because what we're seeing in Iowa, like everyone else, is
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: a huge, huge turnout of the radical leftists. And the
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: question is, do the common sense Iowans turn out?
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: As we wrap this up, we've obviously gone state by state.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: What is the closing message to voters that are sitting there,
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: maybe listening right now, Senator, they're saying, you know what,
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: I just don't, I'm not that enthusiastic about where we are.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: I think you got to explain what's at stake here
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: and why they should go out and vote.
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: Well, let me finish the last state on this run,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: which is Kansas. So I'm in Kansas right now.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: I'm in Wichita.
• 31:27
  Speaker 4: We're going to do a big rally tomorrow morning. Roger
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Marshall's the incumbent Republican senator. This is an exceptionally close race.
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: If you look at Republicans who have a real possibility
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: of potentially losing, Kansas is near the top of the list. Now,
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I like Roger. He's a good friend of mine. He's
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: been a good senator. He's a conservative. And yet Kansas,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: you've got farmers who are unhappy. They're unhappy because diesel
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: prices are high. They're unhappy because fertilizer price is high.
• 31:56
  Speaker 4: They're just grumpy. And the Democrats did a good job
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: of candidate recruiting. They recruited a very, very liberal pastor
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: of a mega church in Kansas City. Now, he is
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: just about as much of a whack job as James Tallarico,
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: who also is a seminarian. They both use.
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: The sort of vestige of Christianity to cover extreme left-wing views.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: But this liberal pastor has preached from the pulpit that
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: in heaven we won't just see Christians, we'll see Jews
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: and Muslims and people of all sorts of different persuasions.
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if you actually believe in Jesus to
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: whether you'll be saved. Now look, there are differences in denominations.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: You know, baptism, you can believe... You and I are
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: both Baptist. You can believe in immersion or you can
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: believe in sprinkling. Those differences are okay. I don't think
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: those differences are the end of the world one way
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: or the other. There is nothing more fundamental to Christianity
• 32:59
  Speaker 4: than the understanding that Jesus is the path to salvation.
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: man comes to the Father but by me. That is
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: what Jesus said. And you've got a pastor who preaches
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: against that, and yet this guy is tied or maybe
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: even leading. And so the question in Kansas, in Iowa,
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: in Michigan, in North Carolina, in South Carolina, in Georgia,
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: and in Texas is turnout, turnout, turnout. I'm begging you,
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: if you love America, if you love the Constitution, if
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: you don't want to see communists and Islamists taking over
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: the Democrat Party and taking over America, show up and
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: vote and bring everyone you.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Senator
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. Ben Ferguson with you. Don't forget to download
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: my podcast and you can listen to my podcast every
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: other day you're not listening to Verdict or each day
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: when you listen to Verdict afterwards. I'd love to have
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: you as a listener to, again, the Ben Ferguson podcast.
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: And we will see you back here on Monday morning.
