• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Welcome in his verdict with Center Ted Cruz ben Ferguson
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with you, Senator, there is an amazing thing that's happening
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: right now in this country, and it is apparently, you
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be worried about Venezuelan gang members if they take
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: over like entire apartment complexes and start, you know, terrorizing
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: the residents, kicking them out, changing the locks, then charging rent,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: taking over the building from the owners, and that's something
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: not to be concerned about. You're only supposed to be
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: concerned if they take over your entire city, says at
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: least ABC.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Well, we're seeing skyrocketing crime from illegal alien criminals that
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: are being released by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, including
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a surge in Venezuelan crime. Venezuela Maduro is emptying out
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: his jails, and in particular, we're seeing Venezuelan gang members
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: committing crimes, committing crimes in Texas, taking over apartment complexes,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: and the media, of course, is doing everything they can
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: to dismiss it and say there's nothing here to see,
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: pay no at tame to the threat to your safety.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We're going to break that down. We're also going to
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: step back and ask where are we in the presidential race.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: We're just over three weeks out from election day. What's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: likely to happen, Who's gonna win. We're gonna break it
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: down state by state, and finally, we're going to detail
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a brand new report that my team put out in
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Washington that uncovers billions of dollars that the Biden Harris
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: administration has diverted from scientific research to radical DEI activists.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: They are funneling cash to the hard left, and they're
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: doing it at the expense of core scientific research. We'll
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: explain it all.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be very interesting to see how
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: much of your tax dollars have been used and abused
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: when it comes to this DEI. It's incredible. I want

• 3:25
  Speaker 1: start by reminding people about this story and how it began.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Venezuela and gang started taking over these apartment complexes. It
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: happened in, for example, in Colorado. First, police are now
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: warning of Venezuelan gang crime in places as far away
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: as Wisconsin, and the media is trying to act like
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: this isn't even happening.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Well, it's happened in Chicago, it's happened in San Antonio, Texas.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: And last week on the pod we covered two instances
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of riff crime here in Texas. One in Dallas, the
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: woman who in her home for Venezuelan illegal immigrants broke
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: into her home, held her at gunpoint, tied her up,
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: pistol whipped her with their pistols, threatened to cut her
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: fingers off, and ropped her. And mind you that these Venezuelans,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: they could speak no English. They were actually using Google
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Translate on their phone to issue their orders. And it
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: was just dumb luck that one of them left a
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: fingerprint in the house that enabled them to be apprehended.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: We also know in Houston, Jocelyn Hungary, the beautiful twelve
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: year old girl raped and murdered by two illegal aliens,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: whom Joe Biden and Kamala Harris released, they hadn't in
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: their custody. They released them the very same day they
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: apprehended them. When we now have reports that at least
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: one of those two child rapist and murderers was a
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: gang member from Venezuela as well. And then this story
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: that broke this past week entitled Alleged Venezuelan gang members
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: arrested in Houston, San Antonio. Dallas police also say there
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: has been gang activity in North Dallas linked to the
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: trend Deer Aragua gang, and let me read to you
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: from the Dallas Morning News. Authorities in Houston and San
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: Antonio have announced the arrest of multiple people that said
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: to have ties to the trender Aragua, a Venezuelan gang
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: recently declared a terrorist organization by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Dallas Police have also said the department has had gang
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: activity in the North Dallas area tied to the gang
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: and is collaborating with other agencies to address crimes linked
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: to the trend aer Ragua and other gangs. According to
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: a Texas Department of Public Safety news release, a DPS
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: agent assigned to the Houston Anti Gang Center was notified
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of a suspected Trendurragua member living in the Houston area.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: The investigation that led to the investigators to Jorgan's Robertson Coba,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: thirty two, who was wanted out of Paarland for theft.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: The release said. Robertson Cova, who DPS said as a
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: confirmed trend Aragua member, was booked in the Brassoria County
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Jail Monday on a theft charge. He remained in jail
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Tuesday on a five thousand dollars bond. Police said they
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: were able to link robertson COVID to the trender Aragua
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: due to his tattoos, including a five point crown and
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: a rose, which police said or known TDA markings. The
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: arrest comes days after multiple police agencies conducted a raid
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: at an apartment complex in San Antonio on Saturday, arresting
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: nineteen people, four of whom are alleged to be members
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: of trendur Arragua. According to the San Antonio Express News,
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the raid was conducted by the San Antonio Police DPS,
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the FBI Border Patrol, and the US Department of Homeland Security.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Of those arrested, sixteen were Venezuelan citizens and three were
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: US citizens. The Venezuelan citizens were taken into custody by
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement Removal Operation agents after they
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: were processed at the Bear County Sheriff's office. This is
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: happening every single day. It is getting more and more
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: dangerous and trendi Agua originated as a South American prison gang,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and we are seeing more and more Texans and more
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and more Americans across the country endangered because Joe Buden
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: and Kamala Harrison, the Democrats keep practicing catch and release
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: and releasing violent criminal gang members who wor illegal aliens.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: By the way, the media is really trying to downplay this.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And there's a perfect example of this happening Sunday. We're
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: weeks away from the election, and on TV there was
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a moment, and it was a moment where ABC was
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: interviewing the VP candidate at one of your colleagues incident,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Jeddie Vance, and they said that, well, you guys are
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: basically spreading misinformation misinformation about Venezuelan gangs, and she tried
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to act like it is not a problem that is
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: quote taking over cities Trump described it because they haven't
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: actually taken over entire cities. They're just taking over entire
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: apartment buildings. Take a listen to this back and forth,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and this is what state sponsored media does when they
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: have a fix in for a kid that they're obsessed
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: with that.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: It's a fact that Donator de Vantel, I'm just going
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: to say that local officials, local officials, and theme officials
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: say that is just flat wrong. But I want to
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: we play some other comments about migrants migrants, including an
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: Aurora in Colorado, where Trump said the city had been
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: invaded and conquered by Venezuelan gangs. The Republican mayor of
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the city said, flatly, the city and state have not
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: been taken over or invaded or occupied by migrant gangs.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: So do you support Donald Trump making those claims that
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: the Republican mayor says, we're grossly exaggerated and have hurt
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the city's identity and sense of safety. I understand what
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you're saying, that some people left behind, but he's making
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: these statements that the mayor is flat out disputing.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: Well, Martha, you just said the mayor said they were exaggerated, exaggerated,
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: there's got to be some That means there's got to
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: be some element of truth here.
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: And of course President Trump.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Was actually in Aurora, Colorado talking to people on the ground,
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: and what we're hearing, of course, Martha, is that people
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: are terrified by what has.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: Happened with some of these Venezuelan gangs. Sender evance.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: I'm going to stop you because I know exactly what happened.
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: I'm going to stop you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: The incidents were limited to a handful of apartment CONFLICTX
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: apartment complexes, and the mayor said, our dedicated police officers
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: have acted on those concerns a handful of problems.
• 9:42
  Speaker 5: Only, Martha, do you hear yourself?
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: Only a handful of apartment complexes in America were taken
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: over by Venezuelan gangs. And Donald Trump is the problem
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: and not Kamala Harris's open border. Americans are so fed
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: up with what's going on, and they have every right
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: to be. And I really find this exchange, Martha is
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: sort of interesting because you seem to be more focused
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: with nitpicking everything that Donald Trump has said, rather than
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: acknowledging that apartment complexes in the United States of America
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: are being taken over by violent gangs. I worry so
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: much more about that problem than anything else here. We've
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: got to get American communities in a safe space again.
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately, when you let people in by the millions,
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: most of whom are unvetted, most of whom you don't
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: know who they really are, you're going to have problems
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: like this. Kamala Harris ninety four executive orders that undid
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump's successful border policies. We knew this stuff would happen.
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: Let's ragged about opening the border, and now we have
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: the consequences and we're living with it. We can do
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: so much better, but frankly, we're not going to do
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: better Martha unless Donald Trump calls this stuff out.
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: I'm glad that he did.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, let's just end that with They did not invade
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: or take over the city, as Donald Trump said.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: I want to move on.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: To a few apartment complexes, no big deal.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: A few apartment complexes that the mayor did not seem
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: was invading the entire city.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's amazing that they're actually saying this with
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: a straight face, that a couple apartment complexes taken over
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: by criminal gangs from Venezuela is apparently supposed to be
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: normalized and is no big deal in America today.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So I'm actually surprised that Martha Ratits didn't finish her
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: questioning with I'm Kamala Harris, and I approved this message.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was pure naked propaganda for the Democrats.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: It's only a handful of complexes, you know. Now, mind you,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: if you happen to live in one of those apartment
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: complexes that has been taken over by Venezuelan gangs that
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: are controlling it and terrorizing it, maybe it's a problem
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: for you. But you know, I mean, where the media,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: what do we care about the pesky little people that
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: live in apartments. They don't really matter, you know what.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: Martha Ratits has a very very nice home in DC.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: She lives very very comfortably, So not a problem for
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: her if some little people have to deal with these criminals.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, what an arrogant, out of touch comment. Only
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: a handful of apartment complexes have been taken over by
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Venezuelan gangs, and she says no big deal look, I
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: think ABC looks utterly ridiculous in that exchange.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: The other thing I think it tells you is the
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: fact that they believe in the idea that these gangs
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: should be here, and as long as they're not taking
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: over entire city, we're not even going to be concerned
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: or fight for the people. You remember when news and
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: some do it locally, But remember when news used to
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: like be the ones that would stand up for one
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: American where there was injustice being done in an apartment complex,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: whether it was a slum ward or something like that,
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: or laws were being broken and quality of life was
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: being affected, right, they would go on TV and they
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: would like do a ten o'clock news story standing up
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: for the little guy who's standing up for the people
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: whose lives have been uprooted, who are being attacked. A
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: great example of this is there was an interview done
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: this week where, and I'm going to quote one of
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: the people that lived in the apartment complex put it
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: this way. They brought their country with them. They brought
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the terror of living in Venezuela and gang run apartment
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: complex is saying no one is helping them out. An
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: alleged apartment takeover who quote by Venezuelan gang members in
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Colorado has elevated the issue of migrant crime, and viral
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: video captured by the error apartment tenants has refuted attempts
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: by politicians and establishment media to downplay or deny that
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: there is actually a threat. Cindy Romeo, whose video of
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: armed members of Venezuelan gang patrolling and forcing her out
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: of her building made news, right, this is how we
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: know about all this, But she said, the part of
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the story that people are missing is that for months
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: they were contacting local police and local elected officials about
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the takeover as it was happening, and no one stopped it.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: She said, we pleaded for months to law enforcement, pleaded
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: for months to elected officials for help, but those pleas
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: were met with a mix of a denial be in
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: difference and sympathetic inaction. She said, the gangs figured it
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: out they can continue to grow their influence inside of
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: her apartment complex. They forced people out by threatening them
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: by shooting their cars up and then bringing motorcycles into
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: the hallways to wake them up while they slept, until
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: they finally moved out. They changed the locks, and they
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: brought int illegals and they charged them rent. That's what
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: she said, is a takeover in how it happened. And
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: she said the worst part is everyone in the local
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: media acted like what we were dealing with didn't matter.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Well, and it's worse than that. There's not a single
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: elected Democrat that gives a flip. And that seems extreme,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: but if they care, they do something about it. They're
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: not concerned about the victims of crime. And by the way,
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: many of the victims of crime, by the least, illegal
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: immigrants are themselves Hispanic or are African American. Because these
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: illegal immigrants are frequently going to low income areas that
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: often have a significantly higher minority population. Jocelyn Nungary was
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: a young Hispanic girl that that tragically is a pattern
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: we've seen over and over and over again, which is
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: the victims of murder, the victims of rape, the victims
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: of child rape are frequently the most vulnerable among us.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: And you know, the Democrats are big on saying they
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: love to emote, they love to care, but if they cared,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: they would do something about this. I mean, let me
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: ask you, Ben, have you seen a single Democrat saying
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: it is unacceptable to have an apartment complex or multiple
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: apartment complelexes, or let's use Martha Raditz's phrase, a handful
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: of apartment complexes taken over by violent Venezuelan gang. Have
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you seen even one Democrat saying that?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: No, and not only that as the woman that was
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: living in this apartment complex, but she said, quote, how
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: many gang members living right outside your door is okay?
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: How many gun guns right outside your door is okay?
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: How many motorcycles reving their engines in the middle of
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: the night to wake you up and your kids up
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is okay.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Well, the media doesn't want you to know about it.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: If they want to dismiss it, if they want to
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: mock at it, they want to laugh at laugh at it.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: And I'll tell you look, that's one of the reasons
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: why moving on to our second story, where is the
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: presidential race right now? If you look at the real
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: clear politics averages of polling right now, if the election
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: happened right now, Donald Trump would get three hundred and
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: two electoral votes and Kamala Harris would get two hundred
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and thirty six. That's based on the current averages. It
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily means that mean that's where we'll be, but
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Let's break down what is the battleground and by the
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: way that the best way to do this is looking
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: at looking at the averages, because that way, if you
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: have particular polls that are outliers, the averages cut them out.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: So let's start with Arizona. Arizona, the Real Clear Politics
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: average is Trump plus zero point five. Nevada, the Real
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Clear Politics average is Trump plus zero point two. Wisconsin,
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: the average is Harris plus zero point three. Michigan the
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: average is Trump plus zero point nine. Pennsylvania the average
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: is Trump plus zero point four. North Carolina the average
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: is Trump plus zero point five. And Georgia the averages
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Trump plus zero point five. Now, one thing that's important
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: to know about that every one of those is less
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: than a point. Those averages are close. You want to
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: understand why this election is close. I just went through
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: those seven battlegrounds on They're all within less than a
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: point on average, but consistently Trump is ahead in six
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: of the seven. And if that holds through on election day,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Trump's the next president.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: You look at what you just described as Trump being
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the next president. Let's let's dive into that. Before we
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: do that, though, I want to tell you about Patriot Mobile.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: If you have a cell phone, and nine nine percent
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of you do, you may not realize every month when
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: you pay your bill to Big Mobile where your money
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: is going and what it's being used for. You may
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: not realize it's actually going to fight against your family values,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: your Christian values. Big Mobile gives massive donations to liberal causes,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: candidates and organizations, radical organizations, for example, that pay for abortions.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And that's exactly why I switch several years ago to
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile. Now, switching cell phones in twenty twenty four
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: is actually incredibly easy, and coverage of the past they're
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: long gone because now pretty much everybody uses the same
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: towers and the same grid. So when you switch to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile, you get to keep your same cell phone number.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: You get to keep your same phone you have right now,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: or you can upgrade to a new one and you
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: keep the same coverage. In fact, Patriot Mobile has a
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: coverage guarantee to give you peace of mind. Now they
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: use all three major networks, so you don't have to
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: worry about that issue. Now here's the best part. When
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: you pay your bill to Patriot Mobile every month, they
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: take about five percent of your bill at no extra
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: cost to you, and they give it back to causes
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: and candidates that fight for our values. They actually give
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: money to organizations that save babies and help mothers choose
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: life over an abortion. They also support our wounded warriors,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: our veterans, our first responders, and they work with organizations
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: that fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: So may this switch now to Patriot Mobile. Go to
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict that's Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict,
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: or call them nine to seven to two Patriot right now,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna get a free month when you use
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the offer code verdict. Don't get fulled by other providers
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: pretending to share your values anymore. Join me and switch
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: to America's only Christian conservative mobile provider, Patriot Mobile. That's
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Patriotmobile dot com slash verdict or nine to seven to
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Patriot and get a free month of service today. So
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: let's talk about the polls. And you mentioned that there's
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: a chance that Donald Trump can really win this thing.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I look at the trends right now, and when you
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: see Saturday Night Live, for example, making fun of Kamala Harris,
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: you gotta may ask yourself the Question Center. Are they
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: starting to hedge their bets a little bit, maybe as
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: she lost her mojo? Or maybe did they just they
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: weren't able to fake out enough Americans to believe she's
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: somehow this great candidate.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Well, give a listen right now to S and L
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: turning on Kama. It's really quite remarkable. They never turned
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: on Barack Obama. They were very reluctant to turn on
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Joe Biden. But it's interesting that we've really seen the
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: late night comics recognizing just how absurd of a candidate
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: she is.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they do this family feud. If you don't know
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the game show, or if you want you to have
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: reference here, family feud. They do a mock up of that,
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and it's the quote Republicans against the Democrats. And not
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: only do they make fun of Kamala, they make fun
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: of like the entire Democratic Party and Joe Biden. Take
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a listen.
• 21:36
  Speaker 7: All right, letters the game Okay, one hundred people survey,
• 21:39
  Speaker 7: Top six answers on the board. Name something that you're
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: keeping your glove compartment BP, Harris Steve.
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: Look, I was raised in a middle class family.
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: All right, or here are we going?
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: Okay? My mother raised my sister and me. All right,
• 21:54
  Speaker 6: she worked hard and saved up, and we had a
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: second mother too.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Okay, did that mother have a glove compartment?
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: A small business owner named miss Shelton?
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: Okay, we got that something that you keep in your
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: block compartment?
• 22:09
  Speaker 8: Oh a glock?
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: See if a big oldclock?
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: Oh oh stap okay, so you strapped like that? All right,
• 22:18
  Speaker 7: show me the blip blam dickey. All right, number two answer.
• 22:25
  Speaker 7: The Democrats is controlling the board. Let's go on, all right,
• 22:29
  Speaker 7: Doug imam Off. Name something that you keep in your
• 22:33
  Speaker 7: glove compartment.
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, I mean I can't top that. It was
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: so perfect. I'll go with the same answer. Steve a glock.
• 22:43
  Speaker 7: Man, you want to give you the same answer. It
• 22:45
  Speaker 7: seemed like a bad strategy. But show me another blip
• 22:48
  Speaker 7: blam Dicke. That's Crainy a second god. That's the number
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: one answer. Damn America. All right, let's go over to
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: Tim Walts. Okay, something that you're keeping your glove a puppet.
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: This is right in my wheelhouse, in my glovebox.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: I got hot hands napkins from Ronza, and gotta have
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: tombs in case I eat something spicy like Tomato.
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: If you say so, show me some white nonsense. Sorry,
• 23:22
  Speaker 7: not up there. Let's go over the president. Joe bidden
• 23:24
  Speaker 7: something that you're keeping your glovebox.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: I like to buy a vow.
• 23:29
  Speaker 7: That is.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: That's the wrong game.
• 23:31
  Speaker 9: Plea, Come on, Conan, what are you doing.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: It's me.
• 23:37
  Speaker 9: I'm still the president. I'm Joe, I'm maybe older. Beat
• 23:40
  Speaker 9: the hell out of you, Papya. I'll give you an
• 23:43
  Speaker 9: uncle sandwich. You know how to do it. I can
• 23:45
  Speaker 9: make sandwiches. And guess what, here's the deal. I'm not
• 23:48
  Speaker 9: the old one now. Trump is the only difference. I
• 23:52
  Speaker 9: know when to walk away about six months too late.
• 23:56
  Speaker 7: Okay, show me whatever that was.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I mean center.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I was dying laughing when this actually happened, because I
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: got to see it on Saturday. I'm in real time,
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh my gosh. They're they're hedging their
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: bets right now. And not only were they making fun
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: of Kama, but they put the guy that they're basically
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: saying should have been given the VP candidacy ahead of
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: of wal two. They add at third in line next
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: to Joe Biden, like they were sending all the signals
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that hey, maybe this isn't gonna work out.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Well, Look, they're they're clearly recognizing their problems and and
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: SNL making fun of Democrats that doesn't happen very often.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: And it was actually funny one on one of the
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: few times SNL is funny. H And by the way,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I'm all for making fun of Republicans too. SNL has
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: made fun of Trump. They made fun of me a
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: lot of times that they It can certainly be funny
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: making fun of Republicans, but when it's a one sided
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: partisan screed, it makes it a lot less interesting that
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: that was. That was pretty funny. But you know, it's
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: interesting NBC. It's not just their their their late night
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: comedy that's recognized that Kamala is in trouble. Take a
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: listen to what NBC said on Meet the Press on Sunday.
• 25:05
  Speaker 8: Vice President Kamala Harris had a five point lead in
• 25:08
  Speaker 8: our last poll taken a month ago right after the debate.
• 25:11
  Speaker 8: That lead has all but evaporated.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: Willie, take a look at.
• 25:15
  Speaker 8: This new head to head matchup forty eight percent to
• 25:18
  Speaker 8: forty eight percent. That is what we call a dead
• 25:22
  Speaker 8: locked race. It underscores what we all know that this
• 25:25
  Speaker 8: is tight, that the country is sharply divided. One of
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: the other big headlines here, people are viewing the Trump
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: presidency more favorably than the Biden presidency. Why is that significant?
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: We've seen the.
• 25:38
  Speaker 8: Vice president get pressed repeatedly on what she would do
• 25:41
  Speaker 8: differently than President Biden, and she's really struggled with that answer.
• 25:46
  Speaker 8: We have new reporting that will roll out on the
• 25:48
  Speaker 8: show this morning, Willie taking us inside the Harris campaign
• 25:52
  Speaker 8: where there are discussions about changing her answer on that.
• 25:55
  Speaker 8: Can she draw a distinction on the Middle East, for example,
• 25:58
  Speaker 8: on immigration? All under discussion with this razor type race.
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: Really, and she continues to say, I am not Joe Biden,
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: but you're right, so we'll have to get more specific
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: here down there.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, that is a panic if you are the
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party, Am I wrong?
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: You can hear them.
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: Oh gosh.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: She says she's not Joe Biden, but everyone knows she is.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: She's exactly the same. But she's got to say she'll
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: do something better like immigration, the thing she was in
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: charge of the last four years she was borders are
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: but no, no, no, she's president. Suddenly the open border
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: she was in charge of won't happen. That panic is
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: significant and listen. This race remains incredibly close, but there
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: is reason to be a lot more optimistic today than
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: was a month ago. The poll numbers are a lot
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: more encouraging, and we got three weeks to go.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: I want to move to another subject real quick, and
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: this is the reason why we do this podcast is
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: we get to bring you information that is not being covered,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: and this is important. There was a investigation that you
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: guys put together in Washington that revealed and you were
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the leader on this, how the Biden Harris administration diverted
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: billions of dollars from scientific research to DEI activists. And
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: for people that are listening, let's start with this, remind
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: them what DEI stands for. And then this story that
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: is broken.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: Well, DEI is diversity, equity and inclusion, and it is
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: the catchphrase of the woke left. And let me just
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: give you the headline. Before Biden took office in twenty twenty,
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: less than one percent of the grants from the National
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: Science Foundation were related to AAI DII. Today that number
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: is greater than ten percent. So there has been a massive,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: massive shift. Now what does that mean. Well, this past
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: week I put out a report so as you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: I'm the ranking member on the Senate Committee of Commerce, Science,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and Transportation. That means I'm the senior Republican on the
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: Commerce Committee. The Commerce Committee has jurisdiction over about forty
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: percent of the US economy, including science, and including the
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: National Science Foundation. So my team engaged in a systematic
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: study and we put out a report examining how the
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: National Science Foundation has increasingly politicized the use of taxpayer
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: dollars meant for scientific research. And the report shows that
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: in its first week, the Biden Harris administration mandated that
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: all taxpayer funded scientific research and development must incorporate diversity,
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: equity and inclusion DEI values. In response to this directive,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: the National Science Foundation allocated over two point zero five
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: billion dollars over two billion dollars to thousands of research
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: that promoted neo Marxist perspectives or DEI tenants, and taxpayer
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: dollars supported these very questionable scientific studies used by researchers
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: to drive extreme ideologies in the classrooms and on their campuses.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: And here are the top line numbers. Our analysis identified
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: three thousand, four hundred and eighty three groups, over ten
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: percent of all National Science Foundation grants during the Biden
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Harris administration that went to questionable projects promoting DEI or
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: pushing neo Marxist perspectives about enduring class struggle, and our
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: investigation grouped these grants into five categories status, social justice, gender, race,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and environmental justice. So let me get let me give
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you some of the examples. So Shirin Vosugi, who was
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: an associate professor of Learning Sciences at Northwestern University and
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: a co principal investigator for a one million, thirty four thousand,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and fifty one dollars NSF grant award in
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty three for a project titled Quote Reimagining Educator
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: learning Pathways through story Work for Racial Equity in STEM
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: and Vosugi credits Marxist traditions for her decision to teach
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Quilt children quote the meaning of genocide and apartheid after
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Hamas's attack against Israel. One other example, in twenty twenty three,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: NSF awarded Georgia Institute of Technologies Kelly Cross ninety nine,
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: seven hundred and ninety one dollars to quote disrupt racialized
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: privilege in the STEM classroom by acknowledging quote whiteness and
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: white supremacy are deeply ingrained in the past, present, and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: future of US higher education. Cross saw to quote subvert
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: these toxic systems to create a more equitable education system
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: and to quote initiate a national conversation about addressing racial
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: inequity and white supremacy in the stem, profession and classroom.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: This is what your taxpayers tax dollars are going towards.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: How does this happen? Where they can divert this type
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: of funding at this level is the question I think
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: most taxpayers would want to ask immediately. Like, I can
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: understand skimming somebody here there, but diverting billions from scientific
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: research to di two billion dollars, Yeah, two billion dollars
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: to DII activists. That's not where your tax dollurs are
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: supposed to go. And by the way, I think you
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: and I agree on this, I wouldn't want these funds
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: diverted to a conservative activist group either.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: No, this is meant to be science, This is meant
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: to be saving people's lives. Let me give you another example.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: In twenty twenty two, NSF awarded San Jose State University
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: four hundred and one thousand, seven hundred and forty four
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: dollars for an ongoing project to quote transform science teaching
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: and learning through empowering teachers and students as climate justice
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: action researchers and change agents. The project is meant to
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: foster quote the development of a hub for justice centered
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: science education and will produce school based materials in professional
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: development activities that examine the interwoven nature of climate justice
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: and racial justice. Now who is in charge of this well?
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: The principal investigator was Tammy Visentainer, who sees her classroom
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: as a venue for social activism. In April twenty twenty four,
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Viscentainer wrote that her course Quote for aspiring middle and
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: high school teachers centers racial justice in science education, and
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: at the end of her course, she showed her student's
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: photos of Israel dramp dropping pamphlets inside the Gaza Strip
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: to warn residents to move out of the way of
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: incoming rocket fire. This attainer, who claimed that Hamasa's October
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: terror attack needed to be contextualized, explained that the photos
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: quote creates spaces that engage complexity in promotion of shared
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: dignity and humanity to build bridges across differences, But she
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: didn't explain what the hell they had to do with science,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: which is what a National Science Foundation grant is supposed
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: to be about.
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Incredible. Let me tell you about the International Fellowship of
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: Christians and Jews. October seventh was the one year mark
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: of the worst masker of the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Twelve hundred Israelis were murdered and more than two hundred
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and fifty were taken hostage. Yet the war in Israel
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: rages on today with a ran firing and massive barrage
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: of nearly two hundred ballistic missiles earlier this month. Israel
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: and her people are facing it acts from enemies on
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: all sides. Now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: is on the ground and they're providing critical needs for
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: the people. We're talking about food, shelter, and safety to
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: those in need during this crisis. Since the war started,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: thousands of reservists every day Israeli citizens have left their
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: families to serve their country. Soldiers have been injured, and
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: their families need our support as well. And that's why
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: I'm asking for you to give a gift of one
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollars to help the Fellowship provide food
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and other basic necessities to these families to help them survive.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to so many of
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: you've gotten involved, and thank you for those that are
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: going to give today, because the Fellowship also has a
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: supporter that said they will match your gift, doubling your
• 34:49

• 35:21
  Speaker 1: this story that you obviously have broken uh, and it's
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: a big one. When these types of stories break, usually
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: in the past, you'd have a lot of media that
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: would cover it. You'd have other colleagues that would come
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: in and say they want to make sure this is
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: stopped or have rules and regulations that would help stop
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: it right away. When you came out with this report,
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: did any of the major media outlets call and say, hey,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: we want this info that you're exposing or do they
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: just look the other way.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Well, there were a handful of stories, but they were
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: principally in conservative outlets because the actual corporate media doesn't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: cover news. This news is in can the fact that
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: Kamala Harris and Joe Biden are funneling billions that's meant
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: to go to science, that's meant to save lives, that's
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: meant to promote like basic research, they're funneling it instead
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: to aggressively ideological, left wing activist zelots. They're using it
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: to corrupt students, to corrupt universities, to corrupt K through
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: twelve education. That is a message that the media does
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: not want to cover. They will actively do everything they
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: can to suppress, because, look, you know, what's the big
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: deal to stealing billions of dollars of tax paramney to
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: fund Marxists poisoning the minds of our kids. The next
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: thing you're going to you know, you're going to say,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: it's a big deal that that a handful of apartment

  Speaker 2: complexes are taken over by Venezuelan gangs.
