Chaos on Campus: Columbia & Yale Erupt in Vicious Antisemitism & Threats of Violence, and University Administrators Do NOTHING! · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome.
0:01
Speaker 2: It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with
0:05
Speaker 2: you and Senator this show is an important one. We
0:08
Speaker 2: are seeing anti Semitism exploding all over this country, especially
0:13
Speaker 2: over the weekend, specifically on college campuses, putting Jewish students'
0:20
Speaker 2: lives at risk on many college campuses. This over the
0:24
Speaker 2: Jewish holiday that is beginning as well.
0:26
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right where right now, at the beginning
0:29
Speaker 3: of Passover, and in the last forty eight hours, we
0:33
Speaker 3: have seen truly horrific demonstrations of anti Semitism on college
0:37
Speaker 3: campuses across the country. This has been growing since October seventh.
0:41
Speaker 3: We've seen it all over the country, but the last
0:43
Speaker 3: forty eight hours have been really uniquely stomach turning. We've
0:48
Speaker 3: seen it at Columbia, We've seen it at Yale, and
0:51
Speaker 3: it is reached a new level where we now have
0:55
Speaker 3: Jewish students and Jewish professors actively fearing for their life.
0:58
Speaker 3: We're going to do a deep dive into this and
1:00
Speaker 3: the sickness that has sadly taken over so many of
1:04
Speaker 3: our universities that is threatening the next generation of Americans
1:09
Speaker 3: with a poison from the left.
1:12
Speaker 2: No doubt about it and this is a perfect opportunity
1:14
Speaker 2: for me to bring up the importance of US standing
1:16
Speaker 2: with the people in Israel. I want you to partner
1:20
Speaker 2: with me, And if you want to know how to
1:21
Speaker 2: help the people in Israel right now, there's an incredible
1:25
Speaker 2: way to do it with the International Fellowship of Christians
1:28
Speaker 2: and Jews. It's been over six months since the brutal
1:31
Speaker 2: attack by Hamas on the men and women, the children,
1:35
Speaker 2: the grandchildren, and the elderly, and since then the attacks
1:39
Speaker 2: on Israel have actually increased, with the Ran and its
1:42
Speaker 2: proxies launching an attack of hundreds of drones and missiles.
1:47
Speaker 2: You know about that from just a week ago. Well,
1:49
Speaker 2: that is where the need is right now. The International
1:52
Speaker 2: Fellowship of Christians and Jews are on the ground now
1:55
Speaker 2: addressing all of these urgent needs, and specifically what they're
2:00
Speaker 2: doing right now is they're helping provide security by placing
2:04
Speaker 2: bomb shelters and communities in Israel that need them the most.
2:08
Speaker 2: When the sirens go off in Israel, people have about
2:10
Speaker 2: fifteen seconds or less to go to safety, and the
2:14
Speaker 2: IFCJ has helped renovate and install nearly three thousand bomb
2:19
Speaker 2: shelters today as Israel and our people live with a
2:23
Speaker 2: harsh reality of tear every day. Your support will help
2:26
Speaker 2: address emergency security needs such as food and utility, equipment
2:30
Speaker 2: for bomb shelters, flat jackets, and other essentials for the
2:34
Speaker 2: people of Israel. We're asking listeners to give fifty dollars
2:38
Speaker 2: or any amount to help provide life saving aid these
2:42
Speaker 2: bomb shelters. You can visit SUPPORTIFCJ dot org. That's one word,
2:48
Speaker 2: support IFCJ dot org. That's support IFCJ dot org center.
2:55
Speaker 2: I want to talk about how this is This is
2:57
Speaker 2: almost a org and eyes explosion of anti Semitism on
3:03
Speaker 2: a second level. We saw this early on, right after
3:07
Speaker 2: the attack on Israel that was six months ago, and
3:10
Speaker 2: we even saw some of the heads of universities come
3:12
Speaker 2: before Congress. Some of them had to step down from
3:16
Speaker 2: their leadership roles, but didn't actually lose their jobs and
3:18
Speaker 2: they still get their major paydays. And now we are
3:21
Speaker 2: saying this second wave, which is even I would argue,
3:24
Speaker 2: more grotesque than what we saw at the beginning, and
3:27
Speaker 2: it also seems to be somewhat orchestrated because it is
3:30
Speaker 2: growing not getting weaker.
3:33
Speaker 3: Well, that's exactly right, and it seems clear that somebody
3:36
Speaker 3: is paying for this. We don't know who, we don't
3:38
Speaker 3: know where the money is coming from, but it is,
3:40
Speaker 3: it is organized, it is persistent, and to give you
3:43
Speaker 3: a sense of just how bad it has gotten, yesterday,
3:47
Speaker 3: the Orthodox Rabbi at Columbia Barnard sent a WhatsApp message
3:52
Speaker 3: to more than two hundred and ninety Jewish students, recommending
3:56
Speaker 3: that they go home until it's safe for them to
3:59
Speaker 3: be on camp again. And I want to read you
4:02
Speaker 3: this diar yavde. What we are witnessing in and around
4:07
Speaker 3: campus is terrible and tragic. The events of the last
4:11
Speaker 3: few days, especially last night, have made it clear that
4:14
Speaker 3: Columbia University's public safety and the NYPD cannot guarantee Jewish
4:20
Speaker 3: students safety in the face of extreme anti semitism and anarchy.
4:27
Speaker 3: It deeply pains me to say that I would strongly
4:30
Speaker 3: recommend you return home as soon as possible and remain
4:35
Speaker 3: home until the reality in and around campus has dramatically improved.
4:40
Speaker 3: It is not our job as Jews to ensure our
4:45
Speaker 3: own safety on campus. No one should have to endure
4:50
Speaker 3: this level of hatred, let alone at school. If you
4:53
Speaker 3: need assistance, please reach out to me, may we see
4:58
Speaker 3: better days on campus soon, Signed by the director of
5:02
Speaker 3: ou Jlicee at Columbia, Barnard.
5:06
Speaker 2: These types of notes are something that to me is
5:09
Speaker 2: somewhat unimaginable, and yet here we are. We also witness
5:12
Speaker 2: video that went viral over the weekend of students that
5:15
Speaker 2: were actually blocking Jewish students from entering a building on
5:19
Speaker 2: a college campus.
5:21
Speaker 1: Was a Seene.
5:22
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was at Yale and you witnessed this happening.
5:25
Speaker 2: And my question is to the university center, how are
5:28
Speaker 2: they not suspending students that are involved in these actions.
5:32
Speaker 3: So every administrator that is the turning a blind eye,
5:35
Speaker 3: every administrator that is allowing this to occur, should resign
5:38
Speaker 3: in disgrace. The university's basic job is to protect the
5:42
Speaker 3: safety of every student, and these students are being threatened.
5:45
Speaker 3: Look that is an email from the rabbi at Columbia saying,
5:49
Speaker 3: if you're a juice Jewish student, you are not safe
5:52
Speaker 3: on campus. You are physically in danger because the school
5:56
Speaker 3: that you were paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to
5:59
Speaker 3: go four years to is not willing to protect you
6:03
Speaker 3: because their ideology is so twisted that they will allow
6:07
Speaker 3: people to threaten your lives. That is truly twisted. Look
6:15
Speaker 3: and by the way, it's not just students. It is
6:19
Speaker 3: also striking that a Columbia professor, Shy Dividai, sent out
6:28
Speaker 3: on Twitter quote, I just sent this message to the
6:32
Speaker 3: leadership at Columbia University. I'm going to be on campus
6:35
Speaker 3: Monday morning, and I am requesting police escort. Police escort
6:40
Speaker 3: simply for going to my own place of work. And
6:45
Speaker 3: here's the letter he sent. He sent dear President Shafik,
6:49
Speaker 3: who's the president of Columbia, Vice President Rosberg, Chief Operating
6:54
Speaker 3: Officer Cass Holloway, General Counsel Rosendine mcglaris. Last I checked,
7:00
Speaker 3: I am still a professor at Columbia University. Therefore, I
7:04
Speaker 3: plan to go tomorrow, Monday morning, and sit peacefully right
7:10
Speaker 3: in the center of the illegal encampment that you have
7:13
Speaker 3: allowed the Prohamas mob to establish in the middle of campus.
7:19
Speaker 3: I will be joined with several Jewish and Israeli students, faculty,
7:25
Speaker 3: and staff. Since the events of last night have shown
7:28
Speaker 3: me that you have completely failed to protect the safety
7:32
Speaker 3: of your Jewish and Israeli students, I am requesting approval
7:36
Speaker 3: to have a police escort of at least ten cops
7:39
Speaker 3: with me. I would ask for escort from the school's
7:41
Speaker 3: public safety, but they have proven themselves useless versus these mobs,
7:47
Speaker 3: and I do not want to put their lives at risk.
7:50
Speaker 3: We will be coming. I am an employee and they
7:54
Speaker 3: are your students. You have a responsibility to protect our
7:58
Speaker 3: physical safety. Safety sincerely, shy Dividai like, what the hell
8:06
Speaker 3: that their own professors do not feel safe on campus
8:11
Speaker 3: because they've allowed hundreds of pro Haamas protesters to set
8:17
Speaker 3: up tents, to camp in the middle of campus and
8:19
Speaker 3: to threaten the safety of Jewish students.
8:24
Speaker 1: And let's talk about the makeup here.
8:25
Speaker 2: And this is where it goes back to the organization
8:28
Speaker 2: aspect of this number one. Yes, there are certainly in
8:33
Speaker 2: these groups of protesters students. I think we need to
8:36
Speaker 2: make that very clear. But there's also what you would
8:39
Speaker 2: refer to as outside of agitators who are involved as well,
8:44
Speaker 2: who and this is well organized. That is the part
8:48
Speaker 2: in you. As you mentioned earlier, we don't know who's
8:50
Speaker 2: funding this yet.
8:51
Speaker 3: We've got to follow the money.
8:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got to follow the money. But that goes
8:56
Speaker 2: back to my point. If you're not a student center
8:59
Speaker 2: and you. You're there as an agitator and you're threatening
9:02
Speaker 2: the well being of students. Doesn't that give the universe
9:07
Speaker 2: even more grounds to be able to say, you don't
9:09
Speaker 2: go to school here, you're out of here, like arrest them,
9:13
Speaker 2: take them away.
9:14
Speaker 3: So absolutely yes, and understand what we are seeing here.
9:19
Speaker 3: This is not free speech. Free speech gives you the
9:23
Speaker 3: right to say what you want. Free speech doesn't give
9:25
Speaker 3: you the right to threaten violence, especially against other students.
9:30
Speaker 3: Nobody has the right to threaten violence against other students.
9:34
Speaker 3: That the Ku Klux Klan showed up on campus, burned
9:37
Speaker 3: across and said we are going to beat up or
9:39
Speaker 3: kill African American students, they would naturally be arrested. You
9:44
Speaker 3: don't get to threaten violence. And it's important to understand.
9:48
Speaker 3: So you get in the sort of woke online world,
9:52
Speaker 3: you get people say no, no, no, no. These are not
9:54
Speaker 3: pro Hamas protesters. These are just people who are standing
9:58
Speaker 3: with the innocent Palace Stinian people. I want you to
10:02
Speaker 3: listen to some of the chants that we're going on
10:04
Speaker 3: at Columbia. UH play the audio.
10:07
Speaker 2: Ben and for people, by the way, when you hear this,
10:09
Speaker 2: I want you to understand. So some of this is loud,
10:13
Speaker 2: and I'm going to give you a few of the
10:14
Speaker 2: lines so that you can kind of hear this here
10:16
Speaker 2: so you understand what to listen for. We say, just
10:19
Speaker 2: as you say, how burn tel Aviv to the ground.
10:23
Speaker 2: Another one that you'll hear them chant is Hamas, we
10:25
Speaker 2: love you, we support your rockets too. And then another
10:29
Speaker 2: one is red, black, green and white. We support Hamas's fight.
10:35
Speaker 2: That's just some of what you're gonna hear. Listen carefully,
11:00
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, center you you listen to that,
11:29
Speaker 2: and I go back to what they were saying. It
11:32
Speaker 2: is right, it is right to rebel Hamas, give them
11:35
Speaker 2: hell Palestine.
11:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me read through the entire chant that what
11:40
Speaker 3: you heard. The opening line is Alka, Sam, you make
11:43
Speaker 3: us proud, take another soldier out. So it's calling on
11:49
Speaker 3: Hamas to murder Israeli soldiers. We say justice, you say,
11:53
Speaker 3: how burn tel Aviv to the ground. Next line, Hamas,
12:00
Speaker 3: we love you. We support your rockets too, rockets that
12:04
Speaker 3: are aimed at civilians, to murder civilians, Red, black, green,
12:08
Speaker 3: and white. We support Hamas's fight. It is right to
12:11
Speaker 3: rebel Alca Sam, give them hell. It is right to
12:14
Speaker 3: rebel Hamas, give them Hell, free, free Palestine. These are
12:22
Speaker 3: open Jihadis. They are cheering on Hamas murdering Jews. This
12:28
Speaker 3: is not simply having a political discussion about the state
12:33
Speaker 3: of the Gaza Strip or the West Bank. This is
12:36
Speaker 3: advocating in support of terrorists who are murdering civilians. And
12:41
Speaker 3: they are doing this on Columbia's campus and doing it
12:45
Speaker 3: directly to threaten Jewish students on campus.
12:49
Speaker 2: So when you look at the universities now, I also
12:52
Speaker 2: think this brings up a bigger conversation. And there was
12:55
Speaker 2: one of my friends that went to Colombia, for example,
12:58
Speaker 2: and said that they were never could have imagined that
13:01
Speaker 2: this would be their campus where they graduated from, that
13:03
Speaker 2: they would be this ashamed of being an alumnus watching
13:07
Speaker 2: this take place on their college campuses. We've seen a
13:11
Speaker 2: lot of others saying that I think this is the
13:13
Speaker 2: moment of reckoning, and I mean it sincerely when I
13:16
Speaker 2: say this where parents have got to start looking at
13:19
Speaker 2: where they're sending their kids and what their kids are
13:22
Speaker 2: being indoctrinated with when they go to these schools. It
13:25
Speaker 2: used to be simple, you go to the best school
13:27
Speaker 2: you could get into. That was the logic, and then
13:30
Speaker 2: it was if you got into an ivyleg school, you should,
13:33
Speaker 2: you know, celebrate and run to that school. What we're
13:36
Speaker 2: now witnessing in the indoctrination of anti Semitism on these
13:41
Speaker 2: college campuses, is this not a moment where people should
13:44
Speaker 2: really take a deep, hard look at do you want
13:46
Speaker 2: to give your kids minds over to these people?
13:49
Speaker 3: Look? Look sadly, it's something a lot of parents are considering,
13:53
Speaker 3: a lot of parents are wondering, why exactly do I
13:56
Speaker 3: spend a half million dollars to send my children an
13:59
Speaker 3: institute to brainwash them to hate America and hate their
14:03
Speaker 3: mother and father. Look. Look, there was another image that
14:08
Speaker 3: was sent around, and this is again on Columbia, where
14:12
Speaker 3: some Jewish students were holding Israeli and American flags, and
14:18
Speaker 3: in front of them stood a young woman. She is
14:22
Speaker 3: covering up her face in what looks like a Palaestadian headscarf.
14:26
Speaker 3: Although she's a blond woman by appearances, she certainly does
14:29
Speaker 3: not appear Palestinian. She appears like a blonde, young liberal.
14:34
Speaker 3: And her sign is handwritten on cardboard and it says
14:40
Speaker 3: al Cassam's next targets and it has an arrow pointing
14:46
Speaker 3: to the Jews behind her waving Israeli flags at American flags.
14:50
Speaker 3: Now understand, she is deliberately threatening other students with murder,
14:58
Speaker 3: saying they should be murdered by terrorists. And I'll tell
15:01
Speaker 3: you I put out on Twitter yesterday I said, if
15:05
Speaker 3: this is a student, she should be expelled. If this
15:10
Speaker 3: is a Columbia professor, she should be fired. No university
15:16
Speaker 3: should allow one member of the community to advocate the
15:20
Speaker 3: murder of other members of the community. Now understand, this
15:24
Speaker 3: is not free speech anymore. Go back to the clan example.
15:29
Speaker 3: You would not allow a student to say the clan
15:33
Speaker 3: should lynch these African American students. That would be grotesque
15:37
Speaker 3: and you would expel that student because you don't get
15:40
Speaker 3: to threaten her, harass, or advocate the murder of your
15:43
Speaker 3: fellow students. There are obligations every student has. You can
15:48
Speaker 3: argue peacefully and civilly, but you do not get to
15:52
Speaker 3: threaten violence. And when you are standing there saying murder
15:57
Speaker 3: these students, that is exactly what you were doing.
16:01
Speaker 2: What comes next, I think from and I'm a government response.
16:05
Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing how easily we can put people
16:08
Speaker 2: on watch lists. If you're if your parent that goes
16:11
Speaker 2: to a school board meeting. But these are people that
16:13
Speaker 2: are calling for for terrorism, calling for murder, calling for death.
16:18
Speaker 2: They're right there, They've got their signs. Is there a
16:21
Speaker 2: responsibility of the of the government law enforcement to look
16:25
Speaker 2: into these and take these threats seriously?
16:28
Speaker 3: Look absolutely yes, But it starts with the university administration.
16:33
Speaker 3: They are so terrified of the politics of this that
16:37
Speaker 3: that that they're paralyzed that they refuse to do anything
16:40
Speaker 3: about it. So John pot horitz Uh sent this out
16:44
Speaker 3: on Twitter. He said, I just got this from a
16:46
Speaker 3: Columbia chat and and this is someone who said, quote,
16:51
Speaker 3: my husband just picked up our freshman daughter at school.
16:55
Speaker 3: He double parked and barged through the gate to get
16:58
Speaker 3: her on college walk and escorted her out through a
17:02
Speaker 3: gauntlet of nasty protesters. She tried to put up with
17:06
Speaker 3: being on campus, quote staying strong and quote holding her ground,
17:12
Speaker 3: but the noise and viciousness finally got to her and
17:17
Speaker 3: she couldn't sleep or concentrate anymore. My husband and daughter
17:23
Speaker 3: felt like refugees fleeing a war zone. And to top
17:28
Speaker 3: it all off, at the one hundred and sixteenth in Amsterdam,
17:31
Speaker 3: gate they yelled to my husband to quote, go back
17:36
Speaker 3: to Poland. This is vicious, this is racist, this is
17:42
Speaker 3: nakedly anti Semitic, and this is the poison being taught
17:47
Speaker 3: at our universities right now.
17:49
Speaker 1: Yeah, twour War two rhetoric, if you want to get
17:51
Speaker 1: right down to.
17:51
Speaker 3: It, that is exactly right. By the way, at Yale
17:58
Speaker 3: they blocked Jewish students from going into campus and one
18:03
Speaker 3: Yale student, a girl, was stabbed in the eye with
18:06
Speaker 3: a Palestinian flag and was hospitalized for it. So this
18:10
Speaker 3: was not just threats of violence, it was actual violence.
18:14
Speaker 3: That is unfolding. And you have to ask, all right,
18:18
Speaker 3: what is Columbia doing, What is what is Yale doing
18:21
Speaker 3: to ensure that that that students are are safe?
18:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the question is what are they going to
18:28
Speaker 2: do when it comes to the next round of students
18:30
Speaker 2: that are going to come through. Is it basically, Hey,
18:33
Speaker 2: if you're Jewish, you can come here, but you were
18:34
Speaker 2: not going to keep you safe.
18:35
Speaker 1: We're not going to protect you.
18:36
Speaker 2: Because that looks to seem like that is the policies
18:39
Speaker 2: of these universities so far, the same universities that the
18:43
Speaker 2: demand tolerance and safe spaces. I remember just back a
18:46
Speaker 2: few years ago center, when everybody was obsessed with having
18:49
Speaker 2: quote safe spaces.
18:50
Speaker 1: What happened to that on college campuses?
18:52
Speaker 3: Well, it is it is safe spaces only for leftists,
18:55
Speaker 3: and it in the look. We've talked about this a lot,
18:59
Speaker 3: because listen that there are a lot of people who
19:01
Speaker 3: are politically left of center who are looking at what's
19:04
Speaker 3: happening at campuses and they're horrified that they're just saying,
19:07
Speaker 3: I don't understand. I don't understand where this anti semitism
19:11
Speaker 3: is coming from. And we've talked a lot on this
19:13
Speaker 3: podcast about it. The origins is cultural Marxism, and cultural
19:17
Speaker 3: Marxism has taken over our college campuses. It has become
19:21
Speaker 3: the dominant ideology. And the Marxist worldview divides the world
19:27
Speaker 3: into victims and oppressors. And they have defined Jews. And
19:33
Speaker 3: let's be clear, I'm not saying israelis. I am saying Jews.
19:37
Speaker 3: If you're an American Jew, they have defined you as
19:40
Speaker 3: an oppressor and they have defined Palestinians as victims. Let's
19:45
Speaker 3: be clear. The people chanting anti Semitic chants are not
19:50
Speaker 3: limiting it to people who live in Israel. They are
19:52
Speaker 3: directing it at American Jews, and it is the poison
19:59
Speaker 3: that is being taught to our students, that is being
20:01
Speaker 3: echoed by professors, that is being echoed by administrators. And
20:04
Speaker 3: it's why administrators are paralyzed to do anything about it,
20:08
Speaker 3: because they see the pro Haamas protesters and in their
20:13
Speaker 3: hierarchy of values, because they are protesting for Palestinians, they
20:19
Speaker 3: are more right, they are more just than the Jews
20:23
Speaker 3: who are are coded as oppressors. And it is wrong,
20:27
Speaker 3: it is a lie, it is vicious, it is racist,
20:30
Speaker 3: and it is the ideology that we have allowed to
20:32
Speaker 3: take over our campuses. And as far as I'm concerned,
20:36
Speaker 3: any college president We've seen the president of Penn and
20:40
Speaker 3: the president of Harvard resigned, But any college president who
20:43
Speaker 3: does not act to protect students, who does not stand
20:45
Speaker 3: up and say every student on my campus shall be safe.
20:48
Speaker 3: And by the way, if you had a bunch of
20:51
Speaker 3: Jewish students threatening violence against Palestinian students, I'd say the
20:54
Speaker 3: same thing. But let's be clear, that's not happening. This
20:58
Speaker 3: is not You will say online that there is a
21:02
Speaker 3: sort of what about ism, there is a sort of
21:05
Speaker 3: both sides as them, Well, you know, both sides are
21:08
Speaker 3: doing this. No, that's not right. There are no pro
21:11
Speaker 3: Israel protesters on college campuses who are threatening Palestinians. It
21:19
Speaker 3: is one sided only. And so, for example, you know,
21:24
Speaker 3: I spent much of Sunday afternoon tweeting and pushing out
21:27
Speaker 3: these videos because you really need to see them. And
21:31
Speaker 3: one kind of very outspoken person on the left came
21:34
Speaker 3: back and said, well, this is the problem with people
21:37
Speaker 3: like Cruise. The issue is framed.
21:41
Speaker 1: But it's not.
21:43
Speaker 3: It is not just the left. Because what I tweeted
21:46
Speaker 3: was wow, truly stunning. Read what the Orthodox rabbi at
21:51
Speaker 3: Columbia Barnard wrote to Jewish students return home as soon
21:54
Speaker 3: as possible. Columbia, New York City cannot will not protect
21:58
Speaker 3: your safety. Radical leftist anti Semitism is a sickness that
22:03
Speaker 3: is destroying our universities. And this person pushed back and said, no, no, no,
22:08
Speaker 3: it's not leftists. And my response was to say, it
22:12
Speaker 3: is not honest to both sides this. All of the
22:17
Speaker 3: students attacking Jews right now on college campuses are leftists.
22:23
Speaker 3: So are all of the professors. This is the poison
22:27
Speaker 3: fruit of Marxist ideology, where universities teach that Jews are
22:32
Speaker 3: oppressors and Palestinians are victims. And it is it is direct,
22:38
Speaker 3: it is ideological, and that is the poison that now
22:43
Speaker 3: has become commonplaces at universities.
22:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, great point, and twenty twenty four many of you
22:48
Speaker 2: listening may have made the decision that I made, and
22:50
Speaker 2: that is I am going to not give my money
22:53
Speaker 2: willfully every day to hardcore leftists, causes, organizations and companies
22:59
Speaker 2: that fight against my values. There are a lot of
23:03
Speaker 2: woke coffee companies out there. When I said that, you
23:07
Speaker 2: probably had a name or two instantly jump into your head.
23:10
Speaker 1: Now.
23:11
Speaker 2: Look, I love a good cup of coffee. Every morning,
23:14
Speaker 2: I get on the radio at seven am. I've got
23:16
Speaker 2: to be awake. I got to go through the biggest
23:18
Speaker 2: news of the day and what happened overnight. And I'm
23:21
Speaker 2: not going to compromise now. I also am not going
23:23
Speaker 2: to buy a woke cup of coffee any longer. And
23:26
Speaker 2: that is why I want you to know about Blackout Coffee.

Speaker 2: This is not an average cup of coffee. This is

24:48
Speaker 2: We hear from the President of the United States of
24:49
Speaker 2: America a lot on certain issues, moral issues. We see
24:53
Speaker 2: the President come out and he has no problem jumping
24:56
Speaker 2: in if it's on something like.
24:57
Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter.
24:58
Speaker 2: But what we're not saying is the White House condemned
25:01
Speaker 2: these actions in a real way. White House Press secretary
25:05
Speaker 2: was asked about some protesters this week chanting long Live
25:08
Speaker 2: a Moss.
25:09
Speaker 1: And this was the.
25:10
Speaker 2: Question the White House Press Secretary and listen to her answer,
25:13
Speaker 2: and just to follow.
25:13
Speaker 4: Up on the protests, I guess you don't want to
25:15
Speaker 4: go into specifics, but what does the president think about
25:19
Speaker 4: young people in America saying things like we are all
25:23
Speaker 4: a Moss and long lived a Moss.
25:26
Speaker 5: I will say, Look, this is a president that has
25:29
Speaker 5: been since he's been in office, and the reason why
25:33
Speaker 5: he ran has been very clear about what he witnessed
25:36
Speaker 5: in Charlottesville. Let's not forget what we saw, the anti semitism,
25:39
Speaker 5: the bigotry, the hate that we saw in the street
25:42
Speaker 5: of Charlottesville, which as I just stated, was one of
25:45
Speaker 5: the reasons that he decided to run. And no president
25:49
Speaker 5: has taken more action to combat anti Semitism than this president.
25:54
Speaker 5: And so you know, in our national strategy, we may
25:57
Speaker 5: clear that when Jews are targeted because of their beliefs,
26:01
Speaker 5: because of their identity, or when Israel is singled out
26:05
Speaker 5: because of anti Jewish hate hatred, that is anti Semitism,
26:09
Speaker 5: and that is completely, completely unacceptable.
26:13
Speaker 1: So there's your generic, right.
26:15
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we've got a lot going on here,
26:18
Speaker 2: and you know, Biden ran and we're going to.
26:21
Speaker 1: Go back to this other issue.
26:23
Speaker 2: How hard is it for the White House to come
26:24
Speaker 2: out and specifically the President to come out and condemn this.
26:28
Speaker 3: Well, and I will say, late Sunday afternoon, the White
26:31
Speaker 3: House finally put out a statement condemning the anti semitism
26:34
Speaker 3: at Columbia because it had gotten so bad. But I'll
26:37
Speaker 3: tell you you and I are recording this right now.
26:39
Speaker 3: It is twelve twenty four am, late Sunday night, beginning
26:42
Speaker 3: of Monday morning. And I just right now, as we're
26:46
Speaker 3: recording this, I looked at Joe Biden's Twitter account bingo
26:50
Speaker 3: in the past twenty four hours and this is as
26:52
Speaker 3: of twelve twenty four am. Joe Biden has tweeted about
26:56
Speaker 3: legalizing marijuana and he sent multiple tweets calling for legalizing
27:01
Speaker 3: marijuana and pardoning everyone who's convicted a possession of marijuana,
27:05
Speaker 3: and multiple tweets attacking Donald Trump. He has not sent
27:09
Speaker 3: said one single word about the anti semitism we're seeing
27:14
Speaker 3: at Columbia and Yale on his Twitter account. They put
27:17
Speaker 3: out an official White House statement that that that that
27:19
Speaker 3: that gets uh that that that that gets a little
27:22
Speaker 3: bit of attention, but on Twitter, complete silence. And there's
27:26
Speaker 3: a reason. I mean, I asked the question why.
27:29
Speaker 2: Now, and you know this, that's to check the boxes
27:32
Speaker 2: diplomacy on this. They're they're they are not sending the
27:35
Speaker 2: president out and forget sending him. There's certain moments when
27:40
Speaker 2: you're a leader that you just know your voice should
27:43
Speaker 2: be heard on an issue. This is that moment where
27:46
Speaker 2: the President should come out there shouldn't even need to
27:49
Speaker 2: be a meeting about this and condemn it. And this
27:52
Speaker 2: is where they're trying to have it both ways.
27:54
Speaker 3: Well, and that's because these angry leftists hosts are their
28:01
Speaker 3: base right now and they're terrified of angering angering their base.
28:07
Speaker 3: It is the sad reality of where we are right now.
28:12
Speaker 2: This also comes down to and we're seeing even more
28:14
Speaker 2: and more data younger voters, which Joe Biden desperately needs.
28:19
Speaker 2: Those thirty five and under are he's at risk of
28:23
Speaker 2: them not showing up. The ones that voted for him
28:26
Speaker 2: last time. If they don't show up this time, can
28:28
Speaker 2: cost in the election. We've seen a lot of pandering.
28:31
Speaker 2: We've seen yet another round of Hey, I'm going to
28:33
Speaker 2: pay off your student loans and I don't care how
28:35
Speaker 2: many millions or billions it costs.
28:38
Speaker 1: We're going to buy votes that way.
28:40
Speaker 2: We also see him coming out and not making the
28:43
Speaker 2: big statements to fitting Israel because the young people have
28:46
Speaker 2: been in doctrine and this goes back to what we're
28:48
Speaker 2: witnessing on college campuses.
28:49
Speaker 1: They've been indoctrined to hate Israel.
28:52
Speaker 2: And so that's why I think we've seen the President
28:55
Speaker 2: not say anything in.
28:56
Speaker 1: A real way publicly.
28:57
Speaker 2: In fact, he's talked about what they've leaked from the
29:00
Speaker 2: White House. Let's talk about the leaks over the last
29:03
Speaker 2: two weeks. They claim that the first Lady told Joe
29:06
Speaker 2: Biden to stop it, stop it now, referring to Israel's
29:09
Speaker 2: attacks on the terrace, and that was leaked by senior staff. Obviously,
29:14
Speaker 2: there's real leaks that are shocking. And then there's leaks
29:17
Speaker 2: that you do on purpose to get a news cycle.
29:20
Speaker 2: That was clearly a purposeful leak. And then we also
29:23
Speaker 2: had it coming out of the White House that apparently
29:25
Speaker 2: the President in essence told Israel, hey, your Iyan Dome worked.
29:29
Speaker 2: Take the win, right, don't retaliate against against the people
29:34
Speaker 2: attacking you. Just be excited that you got the win.
29:38
Speaker 2: If that's the messaging from the White House when it
29:41
Speaker 2: comes to actual war, then it's very clear this is
29:44
Speaker 2: all orchestrated as well.
29:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, understand it's not just Israel that the angry left hates.
29:53
Speaker 3: I want you to play a video of what happened
29:58
Speaker 3: at Yale this weekend. And it's going to be hard
29:59
Speaker 3: to tell from the audio, but after you listen to
30:02
Speaker 3: the audio, I'm gonna explain what you just listened to.
30:04
Speaker 3: But but but play that audio, Ben.
30:19
Speaker 1: Senator.
30:19
Speaker 2: I wish people could see that video because if you
30:22
Speaker 2: witness it, it's up on your on your Twitter right now,
30:25
Speaker 2: it will make you enraged at what they're cheering.
30:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, you really need to see this video. So this
30:31
Speaker 3: occurred on the Yale campus and they're chanting Viva Viva Palestina.
30:36
Speaker 3: But what they're doing is they're pulling down the American
30:40
Speaker 3: flag from a flagpole. And and by the way, the
30:43
Speaker 3: the image of the students strikingly the students, the Yale
30:47
Speaker 3: students that are there, if any of them are Palestinian,
30:50
Speaker 3: they don't appear to be. Uh. And and there is
30:54
Speaker 3: in in the foreground of the image there is this
30:57
Speaker 3: young blonde kid, uh who appears to be just your
31:02
Speaker 3: typical woke leftist American. All. He's got short blonde hair,
31:06
Speaker 3: and he's wearing a Palestinian scarf. And as the American
31:10
Speaker 3: flag goes down, he thrusts his fist in the air.
31:14
Speaker 3: And the cheering you hear is when the flag goes
31:18
Speaker 3: all the way down and hits the ground. These are
31:20
Speaker 3: Yale students cheering the American flag being torn down. Play
31:26
Speaker 3: the audio again and understand the cheering is when the
31:28
Speaker 3: American flag hits the ground. Play the audio again. Ben.
31:41
Speaker 2: You also see people that are smiling and in essence laughing, Senator,
31:46
Speaker 2: like they can't believe this is happening on their campus
31:49
Speaker 2: and enjoying the moment.
31:50
Speaker 1: They've been camping out there. But this is at Yale.
31:53
Speaker 2: And if you see this at Yale, and you realize
31:56
Speaker 2: Yelle is allowing this to happen. The question is, why
31:59
Speaker 2: on earth would you send your kid to Yale and
32:01
Speaker 2: go half million dollars or more into into debt or
32:05
Speaker 2: have to pay that money for your kids to be
32:07
Speaker 2: indoctrinated at a place that is clearly not coming down
32:11
Speaker 2: hard on these actions.
32:13
Speaker 3: Now, look that that is exactly right, and it's because
32:16
Speaker 3: the Yale administrators are terrified to engage with against the
32:23
Speaker 3: left because they support the views of the left. I'll
32:27
Speaker 3: tell you something else that was tweeted. There is a
32:30
Speaker 3: story in the Free Beacon the Dean of students of
32:34
Speaker 3: Northwestern attended a protest targeting the campus Jewish community Center.
32:41
Speaker 3: So the Dean of students went to a rally where
32:44
Speaker 3: protesters said the school quote weaponizes anti Semitism to silence
32:49
Speaker 3: pro Palestinian activism, and let me read you that article.
32:53
Speaker 3: The Dean of students at Northwestern University attended an anti
32:56
Speaker 3: Israel protest this week targeting Hillel, the school's Jewish student
33:00
Speaker 3: community center, to defend the demonstrator's quote right to free speech.
33:04
Speaker 3: Dean of Students Monadugo said she showed up at the
33:06
Speaker 3: rally on Monday to support anti Israel's activist quote right
33:10
Speaker 3: to protest and to protect the right to free speech.
33:13
Speaker 3: According to The Daily Northwestern, protest organizers demanded that the
33:18
Speaker 3: university end its relationship with Hillel, a one hundred year
33:22
Speaker 3: old nonprofit group that operates Jewish community centers on campuses
33:25
Speaker 3: around the world, including Northwestern. The protest took place during
33:30
Speaker 3: Northwestern's Admitted Students Day, which seeks to introduce incoming students
33:35
Speaker 3: to campus life. So imagine you are Jewish students coming going.
33:38
Speaker 3: Oh great, this is a welcoming place for me. Quote.
33:41
Speaker 3: Hillel is one of the many places in which this
33:44
Speaker 3: university is complicit in infusing Jewishness with Zionism, said one
33:51
Speaker 3: protest organizer in a speech at the rally. A leaflet
33:55
Speaker 3: handed out by protesters accused Northwestern of quote funneling Jewish
33:59
Speaker 3: student into Hillel, the Zionist Foundation for Jewish Life. It
34:05
Speaker 3: also claimed the school quote weaponizes claims of anti Semitism
34:09
Speaker 3: on campus to silence pro Palestinian activism. This is the
34:14
Speaker 3: dean of students, now, I will say. After this became public, Northwestern,
34:19
Speaker 3: at least to their credit, they put out a statement
34:21
Speaker 3: claiming the dean of students goes to every protest to
34:25
Speaker 3: make sure there's not violence. Maybe it sure doesn't sound
34:29
Speaker 3: like that from the article that was printed in the
34:32
Speaker 3: campus paper. But I'm at least glad they're feeling the
34:35
Speaker 3: need to try to explain it. I suppose that is
34:38
Speaker 3: marginally better then saying, yep, that's where we stand.
34:43
Speaker 2: It's American college campuses, and it's all coming and being organized,
34:47
Speaker 2: as you mentioned earlier, by the left. And if you
34:51
Speaker 2: look at this, you go back to what you said
34:53
Speaker 2: at the beginning about how important is to follow the money.
34:56
Speaker 2: Why is it that when it comes to these issues,
35:00
Speaker 2: And I'm going to answer my own question here, but
35:03
Speaker 2: it's like the media doesn't exist when it comes to
35:05
Speaker 2: investiative reporting. I would assume the media could figure it
35:09
Speaker 2: out pretty darn quickly, Senator. Who's paying for this, who's
35:14
Speaker 2: organizing it, who's behind it, where the money is originating from?
35:19
Speaker 2: Not as single stories being written about it though.
35:22
Speaker 3: No, because they don't care. Because the media is ultimately
35:25
Speaker 3: supportive of these goals. They're not. They're not covering it.
35:30
Speaker 3: By the way, I will give some credit, and this
35:32
Speaker 3: is something painful for me to do, but I'm gonna
35:34
Speaker 3: give a little bit of credit to see it in.
35:35
Speaker 3: You know who's been most vocal speaking out on this.
35:38
Speaker 2: CNN has had a lot of coverage that you're you're correct,
35:40
Speaker 2: especially this past weekend.
35:42
Speaker 3: And Jake Tapper in particular, And listen, I've been very
35:45
Speaker 3: critical of Jake. You and I both know Jake very well,
35:48
Speaker 3: but on this issue, Jake, Jake Tapper has been the
35:51
Speaker 3: single most outspoken major media figure and I'm gonna give
35:54
Speaker 3: him credit for that because because his colleagues and his
35:57
Speaker 3: colleagues at other networks and newspapers should.
36:00
Speaker 2: Do the same, Yeah, they should. Let me tell you
36:02
Speaker 2: about Patriot Mobile. If you have a cell phone in
36:05
Speaker 2: about nine nine percent of you do, how would you
36:08
Speaker 2: like to know that every time you use your phone
36:10
Speaker 2: and every time you pay your bill, you're actually standing
36:14
Speaker 2: up for the values you believe in in a very
36:16
Speaker 2: real way. Patriot Mobile for more than a decade has
36:20
Speaker 2: been America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I
36:24
Speaker 2: say only, I mean it, they're the only one. Patriot
36:28
Speaker 2: Mobile is a company that actually got started to combat
36:32
Speaker 2: the left. That's pretty amazing. When you say, hey, why'd
36:35
Speaker 2: you start a company? Well, we realized where the money
36:38
Speaker 2: was going when you paid Big Mobile. It was going
36:40
Speaker 2: to hardcore leftist causes, candidates, organizations, and including Planned Parenthood.
36:48
Speaker 2: When they found out how much money was going to
36:50
Speaker 2: those causes, that is when Patriot Mobile said, we're going
36:54
Speaker 2: to start a conservative cell phone company. Now, Patriot Mobile
36:57
Speaker 2: offers you dependable nationwide cup giving you the ability to
37:01
Speaker 2: access all three major networks, so that same towers that
37:06
Speaker 2: you use right now are the same exact towers you're
37:08
Speaker 2: going to use when you switch to Patriot Mobile. But
37:11
Speaker 2: the best part is when you make that switch, you're
37:14
Speaker 2: no longer funding the left. And when you switch to
37:16
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile, they take about five percent of your bill
37:19
Speaker 2: every month and no exert charge to you, and they
37:23
Speaker 2: give it back to organizations that support free speech, religious freedom,
37:27
Speaker 2: support the sanctity of life, the Second Amendment, and they
37:31
Speaker 2: also support our military, our wounded warriors, are veterans and
37:36
Speaker 2: first responders.
37:37
Speaker 1: It is easy to switch, whether it's.
37:39
Speaker 2: You and your family's lines or a business small or large.
37:43
Speaker 2: You can keep your same phone number you have now,
37:46
Speaker 2: keep your same phone, or upgrade to a new one.
37:48
Speaker 2: But every month when you pay your bill, you're standing
37:50
Speaker 2: up for what you believe in, So get rid of
37:53
Speaker 2: mobile and switch to Patriot Mobile the number nine to
37:57
Speaker 2: seven to two Patriot that's nine seven to Patriot get
38:01
Speaker 2: free activation when you use the offer code vertict nine
38:04
Speaker 2: seven two Patriot or Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict. That's
38:08
Speaker 2: Patriot Mobile dot com slash verdict. Senator, last question for
38:14
Speaker 2: you on this one. If we do find out that
38:18
Speaker 2: these organizations that are backing and clearly growing these these
38:24
Speaker 2: anti Semitic protests are directly connected to Democratic donors, Democratic
38:29
Speaker 2: Party Party, what are the chances that the media covers
38:33
Speaker 2: it or what do you bet we're the only ones
38:35
Speaker 2: people hear about it from zero?
38:37
Speaker 3: The media won't cover that. They have no interest in
38:39
Speaker 3: it whatsoever. They have no interest in who's promoting this,
38:43
Speaker 3: who's funding it, who's paying people. Listen, Ben, as you know,
38:48
Speaker 3: I have had anti Israel Prohamas protesters at my home
38:53
Speaker 3: every Saturday morning for over three months now. It's the
38:56
Speaker 3: same group of about fifteen people. They're clearly being paid
38:59
Speaker 3: by somebody. Nobody cares who's paying them. Somebody is paying
39:02
Speaker 3: them to and they're doing this at the homes of
39:06
Speaker 3: other people as well, other elected officials. As well. This
39:10
Speaker 3: is a concerted effort, but do you know where this
39:12
Speaker 3: ends up?
39:14
Speaker 1: Where's that?
39:15
Speaker 3: If you want to see where this ends up, take
39:16
Speaker 3: a look at Europe. Sadly, Europe has for a long time,
39:21
Speaker 3: for centuries, been on the cutting edge of anti Semitism,
39:25
Speaker 3: and you can look to Europe to see perhaps the
39:28
Speaker 3: next step of where these college campuses are. This weekend,
39:31
Speaker 3: the London police threatened to arrest a man for being
39:37
Speaker 3: quote openly Jewish, and I want to read from a
39:42
Speaker 3: post that Jonathan Turley put up this weekend quote the
39:45
Speaker 3: London police are under fire this week for threatening to
39:47
Speaker 3: arrest aman wearing a kuipa near the near a pro
39:51
Speaker 3: Palestinian march. Officers inform Gideon Falter, head of the Campaign
39:56
Speaker 3: Against Anti Semitism Watchdog, that he was quote and antagonizing
40:01
Speaker 3: the protesters by being quote openly Jewish near such a march.
40:08
Speaker 3: He was told that if he tried to cross the
40:11
Speaker 3: street while being quote openly Jewish, he would be arrested
40:17
Speaker 3: for breach of the peace. In the video police officer,
40:21
Speaker 3: one police officer said quote, you are quite openly Jewish.
40:25
Speaker 3: This is a pro Palestinian march. I'm not accusing you
40:29
Speaker 3: of anything, but I'm worried about the reaction to your presence.
40:33
Speaker 3: Another officer then adds later quote, you will be escorted
40:37
Speaker 3: out of this area so you can go about your business,
40:39
Speaker 3: go where you want freely, or if you choose to
40:42
Speaker 3: remain here because you are causing a breach of peace
40:46
Speaker 3: with all these other people, you will be arrested. Now
40:51
Speaker 3: I want you to pause and reflect on that. In
40:54
Speaker 3: London it is now an arrestable offense according to police,
41:00
Speaker 3: to be openly Jewish, to wear a yamica.
41:04
Speaker 1: You're the one.
41:05
Speaker 3: If you are simply Jewish and and acknowledge your Jewish
41:09
Speaker 3: heritage and don't hide it, that is grounds for being
41:14
Speaker 3: arrested in London. That's where this heads. That is the
41:18
Speaker 3: fruit of the cultural Marxist leftist ideology, that is the
41:23
Speaker 3: fruit of the anti Semitism infusing our universities.
41:28
Speaker 2: It's a reminder to pray for the Jewish people now
41:31
Speaker 2: more than ever before, and the students on these college
41:34
Speaker 2: campuses to keep them and the professors safe.
41:37
Speaker 1: Don't forget the center.
41:38
Speaker 2: And I do this podcast three days a week Monday,
41:41
Speaker 2: Wednesday and Friday. There are a lot of big votes
41:43
Speaker 2: coming up in DC this week. We're going to cover
41:45
Speaker 2: all that for you on Wednesday, and make sure in
41:49
Speaker 2: those in between days you grab my podcast, the Ben
41:52
