Nazi Oyster Farmer gets Worse-Will Dems Dump Him? UNRWA Infested with Hamas & Jill Biden covers for Joe's Dementia · The 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson

0:01
Speaker 1: Welcome in as Verdict with Center, Ted Kruz, Ben Ferguson
0:04
Speaker 1: with you, Senator, We're gonna get to do political strategy
0:07
Speaker 1: today on the show, which I actually love. So this
0:10
Speaker 1: is like one of my favorites because of the insanity
0:12
Speaker 1: and a race that actually matters for control of the Senate.
0:16
Speaker 1: We're going to dive into that. Plus Joe Biden's on
0:18
Speaker 1: like this rewrite history tour as well.
0:21
Speaker 2: Well.
0:22
Speaker 3: We're gonna cover the continued fiery crash of the Nazi
0:28
Speaker 3: communist in Maine. Graham Platter, it seems every day when
0:33
Speaker 3: you think there cannot be anything worse about this guy,
0:36
Speaker 3: there are no more skeletons in the closet. It turns
0:38
Speaker 3: out that closet is in fact a cemetery. It is
0:42
Speaker 3: a graveyard, and there are so many skeletons there there
0:46
Speaker 3: are more to come. We're gonna break down why they're
0:49
Speaker 3: coming right now, why they're coming right now so quickly,
0:52
Speaker 3: and is something sinister afoot. We're gonna break that down
0:56
Speaker 3: in detail. We're also going to talk to you about
0:58
Speaker 3: a shocking story about UNRA, the un relief agency that
1:04
Speaker 3: has employed hundreds and maybe even thousands of hamas terrorists.
1:11
Speaker 3: New breaking news there that is going to make you
1:14
Speaker 3: you didn't think well of the United Nations when you
1:16
Speaker 3: started listening to this podcast. I promise you at the
1:18
Speaker 3: end of it, you're gonna think even worse.
1:21
Speaker 2: You know what.
1:21
Speaker 3: It occurs to me now, Graham Platner would make a
1:25
Speaker 3: fantastic employee at UNRA. He would fit right in amen
1:28
Speaker 3: that they would understand his anti American leftist vitriol. It
1:33
Speaker 3: would be a perfect mesh. And then there's Jill Biden.
1:36
Speaker 3: Jill Biden is going on TV and just kind of
1:40
Speaker 3: crashing and burning just you know, she's trying to defend
1:43
Speaker 3: her husband. She is failing miserably in that. And at
1:46
Speaker 3: the end of the day, what she's doing I don't
1:48
Speaker 3: think she intends to, but she is indicting the entire
1:51
Speaker 3: Democrat Party and all of the media for being willing,
1:55
Speaker 3: enthusiastic partisan liars. We're gonna bring you all of that today.
2:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is an incredible story. We've got the
2:02
Speaker 1: receipts for you with the audio. Let me also talk
2:04
Speaker 1: to you for a moment about the incredible work that's
2:07
Speaker 1: being done right now by Americans United for Life and
2:11
Speaker 1: how you can get involved for over the past fifty years,
2:15
Speaker 1: AUL has filed more than two hundred legal briefs and
2:20
Speaker 1: helped create at least four hundred pro life bills in
2:24
Speaker 1: over fifty states. They're writing model legislation and consulting with
2:30
Speaker 1: the state legislators and defending their own laws and other
2:34
Speaker 1: pro life statues in court. Now, Americans United for Life
2:39
Speaker 1: has a dual front approach of not only writing but
2:42
Speaker 1: then defending legislation, and it's proved an effective one that
2:46
Speaker 1: could become even more impactful as pro life state legislatures
2:50
Speaker 1: are moving to enact protections for preborn babies after the
2:55
Speaker 1: downfall of Roe v.
2:56
Speaker 4: Wade.
2:57
Speaker 1: They're also protecting the mothers, and they are also doing
3:01
Speaker 1: everything they can to fight on the legality of abortion
3:05
Speaker 1: that is returned to the states, and.
3:08
Speaker 4: That's where you come in. You now have the.
3:10
Speaker 1: Opportunity to overturn pro abortion laws and advance pro life
3:14
Speaker 1: legislation that attacks the most vulnerable in our society, from
3:19
Speaker 1: the womb to the tomb. Together, we can shape the
3:22
Speaker 1: future of our nation through life affirming legislation in every state.
3:28
Speaker 1: A gift of just twenty five dollars helps Hohod abortion
3:32
Speaker 1: providers accountable and helps protect women and unborn children across
3:37
Speaker 1: the country. And now through a match your gift is doubled.
3:41
Speaker 1: You can donate securely at aul dot org slash verdict.
3:47
Speaker 1: That's a UL dot org slash verdict sponsored by Americans
3:52
Speaker 1: United for Life. All right, Senator, So before we get
3:55
Speaker 1: into politics of political theory and how to run campaigns,
4:00
Speaker 1: he do have some even more breaking news on this
4:02
Speaker 1: disaster of a candidate. As you said, the skeletons keep
4:05
Speaker 1: coming out of the closet.
4:07
Speaker 3: Well, the latest that just broke. Here's how the Wall
4:10
Speaker 3: Street Journal covered it. Graham Plattner's wife flagged sexually explicit
4:14
Speaker 3: texts to his Senate campaign. The wife of the main
4:17
Speaker 3: Senate Democrat candidate last year last year told the campaign
4:21
Speaker 3: about texts she had found between Platner and other women
4:27
Speaker 3: and noticed women is plural. Days after Graham Plattner announced
4:31
Speaker 3: his main Senate bid, his wife informed the campaign about
4:33
Speaker 3: a potential political problem she had previously discovered on the
4:36
Speaker 3: quote oyster farmer's phone boy, He's doing some oyster farming
4:41
Speaker 3: sexually explicit texts with several women, According to the people
4:45
Speaker 3: familiar with the matter. Amy Gertner, who married Platner in
4:48
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three, told the campaign about messages she had
4:51
Speaker 3: found early in their marriage in the spring of twenty
4:53
Speaker 3: twenty five. So this is a guy who can stick
4:55
Speaker 3: with something. I mean, he lasted almost eighteen months before
4:59
Speaker 3: he's caught sexual texting other women women not his wife.
5:03
Speaker 3: In late August, as some aids were conducting opposition research
5:07
Speaker 3: on their own candidate. And by the way, that's a
5:08
Speaker 3: standard thing you do in politics, is when you are
5:11
Speaker 3: preparing to launch a campaign, one of the first thing
5:13
Speaker 3: you do is hire your own team to do oppo
5:17
Speaker 3: research on you so that you know what they're going
5:19
Speaker 3: to come and attack you with Gershner disclosed the text
5:22
Speaker 3: to a campaign AID to make sure they didn't pose
5:25
Speaker 3: a risk to her husband's naissance campaign. The campaign had
5:29
Speaker 3: been preparing for a major rally over Labor Day weekend
5:31
Speaker 3: last year with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who likes to
5:34
Speaker 3: hang out with Nazi communists who are sexual harassers and
5:38
Speaker 3: cheating on their wives. That's not actually in the journal story.
5:41
Speaker 3: That's just kind of reading between the lines. But who
5:45
Speaker 3: was And this is getting back to the story. Set
5:47
Speaker 3: to officially endorse Platner at the event, Aids ultimately decided
5:50
Speaker 3: that the text were a private matter.
5:53
Speaker 2: Let me read that again.
5:54
Speaker 3: Aids ultimately decided the text were a private matter. You
5:58
Speaker 3: remember when that private matter of private matters drove Eric's
6:02
Speaker 3: swallwell out of the California gubernatorial race. YEA, their private
6:06
Speaker 3: matter until they're not. That was being handled by the
6:10
Speaker 3: couple in marriage counseling. A campaign official said the rally
6:13
Speaker 3: preceded as planned, with thousands in attendance. In a statement
6:17
Speaker 3: provided by Platner's campaign, Gertner said she believed she was
6:21
Speaker 3: confiding in an age she considered a friend. I know
6:25
Speaker 3: who Graham is. I know the man I'm married and
6:27
Speaker 3: the husband he has been to me in the best
6:29
Speaker 3: and worst days of my life. This hasn't changed, and
6:31
Speaker 3: it won't. The previously unreported deliberations last year over sexually
6:35
Speaker 3: explicit text discovered on Platner's phone come as the veteran
6:39
Speaker 3: has exploded onto the national political scenes, kindling Democratic hopes
6:44
Speaker 3: that they can unseat Republican Susan Collins and gain control
6:47
Speaker 3: of the Senate. All right, now, that's bat yeah, but
6:52
Speaker 3: surely there couldn't be worse. Well, there is, and stop
6:56
Speaker 3: calling me Shirley also breaking. Graham Platner has an active
7:01
Speaker 3: profile on a messaging app called and I'm not making
7:05
Speaker 3: this up predators Paradise, uh.
7:09
Speaker 1: Active profile just so everybody understands, that means that means
7:12
Speaker 1: like he currently being used.
7:14
Speaker 3: Yes, And if you read the Daily Wire, Graham Plattner,
7:18
Speaker 3: who setate campaign has been marred with scandal from the outset,
7:21
Speaker 3: maintains an active account on a platform notorious for enabling
7:27
Speaker 3: sexual predators. The main Democrat who seeking done seed, incumbent
7:31
Speaker 3: Senator Susan Collins, is a registered user on Kick, a
7:35
Speaker 3: Daily Wire review found now Kick is already known as
7:40
Speaker 3: a hotbed for child pornography, kidnapping, and sexual abuse.
7:46
Speaker 1: And by the way, to be queer, there was four
7:48
Speaker 1: months before apparently he joined a major expose I think
7:52
Speaker 1: it was The New York Times about what you just
7:54
Speaker 1: said in this site being used by these things. So
7:58
Speaker 1: if you googled, you would know that you're about to
8:00
Speaker 1: join a site that is known for child pornography and
8:04
Speaker 1: other things like that, and it's like, oh yeah, let's
8:07
Speaker 1: sign up for that. Four months after that massive expos
8:10
Speaker 1: came out.
8:10
Speaker 3: You know, bet, I will say this seriously, I'm beginning
8:13
Speaker 3: to wonder whether we're about to have something enter popular
8:16
Speaker 3: culture which is a new euphemism of oyster farming. You know,
8:20
Speaker 3: what is my scoundrel husband doing. Oh he's oyster farming.
8:25
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy has a potential to like set
8:28
Speaker 3: a term that is going to last well beyond the
8:30
Speaker 3: main Senate race. And if Saturday Night Live actually did comedy,
8:35
Speaker 3: they would have an entire skin on oyster farming like
8:38
Speaker 3: it fries.
8:39
Speaker 2: Out for it.
8:40
Speaker 3: And here's the bizarre thing they just might you know
8:43
Speaker 3: I mentioned before Eric Swalwell, And let's talk a little strategy.
8:47
Speaker 3: Let's talk about why this information is coming out right now.
8:53
Speaker 1: By the way, it's not coming from Republicans. That's the
8:55
Speaker 1: point that Number one we need to make this is
8:57
Speaker 1: Democrats that we're in his campaign, who have now outed him, yes,
9:01
Speaker 1: publicly on this. And this goes back to comparing contrast
9:05
Speaker 1: Eric Swalwell. When Democrats thought Eric swall was no longer useful,
9:10
Speaker 1: they're the ones that released all the info to destroy him,
9:13
Speaker 1: not Republicans going after him. Let's be clear, we're seeing
9:16
Speaker 1: this now play out his dejavou weeks later.
9:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, there's a real time parallel. And if you
9:22
Speaker 3: look at it, this story that Plattner's wife came with
9:27
Speaker 3: the sexually explicit texts to the campaign staff, you know
9:30
Speaker 3: who knew about that, the campaign staff. That's the source
9:35
Speaker 3: of this story in all likelihood. And so you've got
9:39
Speaker 3: Democrats going after their own nominee, and it is reminiscent
9:44
Speaker 3: of Look, Eric Swalwell. I didn't know the guy, but
9:48
Speaker 3: from everything that has been said, it was widely known
9:51
Speaker 3: among his colleagues that the guy was a complete predator,
9:54
Speaker 3: that the guy was sexually harassing, sexually assaulting women, was
9:58
Speaker 3: out partying. What was was like Bluto and animal House,
10:02
Speaker 3: living his life.
10:03
Speaker 2: And Democrats didn't care.
10:08
Speaker 3: They didn't care at all because he was an attack
10:11
Speaker 3: dog and so he could be a sexual predator if
10:13
Speaker 3: he's attacking Donald Trump. They're happy with whatever he's doing.
10:18
Speaker 3: They didn't care until they realized they had a problem
10:22
Speaker 3: in the California gubernatorial race. And by the way, look Swallwell,
10:26
Speaker 3: it appears that other House members knew. There may be
10:29
Speaker 3: some Democrats senators right now who knew when they were
10:32
Speaker 3: in the House with him. There were lots and lots
10:34
Speaker 3: of staffers who knew. There presumably were reporters who knew.
10:37
Speaker 3: Because these reporters and members and staffers are all very
10:41
Speaker 3: tight with each other, and they all kept it silent
10:45
Speaker 3: until the instant there was a political benefit to getting
10:47
Speaker 3: rid of him, and boom, it was a matter of
10:50
Speaker 3: hours and he was gone. I got to say, when
10:54
Speaker 3: the story was just that Platner was a communist, Democrats
10:59
Speaker 3: were fine. Mary Sanders campaign with him. Elizabeth Warren said,
11:02
Speaker 3: he's my guy. When the story was just he was
11:05
Speaker 3: a communist with a Nazi tattoo of a total comp
11:08
Speaker 3: the symbol of the SS they used on the death camps. Amazingly,
11:12
Speaker 3: Democrats were fine. They went out and campaigned with him,
11:15
Speaker 3: said I'm proud to stand with him. That's who they were.
11:19
Speaker 3: But as the stories got worse and worse and worse,
11:23
Speaker 3: you do have to wonder who is it that's trying
11:27
Speaker 3: to push Platner out. Is it Republicans trying to smack
11:30
Speaker 3: him in the general election, or is it instead Democrats
11:36
Speaker 3: who want to jettison him. And in particular, if you
11:40
Speaker 3: look at the main law, under main law, a candidate
11:44
Speaker 3: who wins the June ninth primary and subsequently withdraws by
11:49
Speaker 3: five pm on July thirteenth, So there's a narrow window.
11:53
Speaker 2: We have just over a minute.
11:54
Speaker 4: By the way, make sure you mark your calendar for
11:56
Speaker 4: that date. That date matters.
11:57
Speaker 3: July thirteenth may be replaced by a nominee selected by
12:03
Speaker 3: party officials. Any replacement candidate must be chosen no later
12:08
Speaker 3: than five pm on July twenty seventh. The timeline would
12:13
Speaker 3: give Democrats just fourteen days to settle on a replacement
12:16
Speaker 3: candidate and prepare for the general election campaign. So I
12:21
Speaker 3: doubt Platner is on board with this. But by the way,
12:24
Speaker 3: Swalwell wasn't on board with his defenestration. I mean he
12:27
Speaker 3: was forcibly ejected and did not have a vote the matter.
12:32
Speaker 3: I am quite sure Platner is not liking his oyster
12:36
Speaker 3: farming being exposed to all of all of Maine and
12:39
Speaker 3: all of this country. But you have at least some
12:42
Speaker 3: Democrats who are saying, gosh, this guy is becoming a liability.
12:47
Speaker 3: And listen, these guys are ruthless. I think we need
12:51
Speaker 3: to be quite aware that this could well be a
12:54
Speaker 3: Democrat on Democrat violence effort to remove Platner, and they're
12:59
Speaker 3: objective is to get Platner to withdraw by July thirteenth.
13:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at just how quick this came out,
13:09
Speaker 1: and Democrats are really good at planning stories and building momentum.
13:13
Speaker 4: It's exactly the playbook they did with Swawell.
13:15
Speaker 1: By the way, it's also what Democrats said to Bernie
13:17
Speaker 1: Sanders when they were making sure he didn't get the nomination.
13:20
Speaker 1: If you go back, there's some parallels here when they're like,
13:22
Speaker 1: we're not gonna support you, We're gonna pull the funding,
13:24
Speaker 1: we're gonna pull our everybody from you, and they will
13:27
Speaker 1: destroy you. I mean, this is a party that they
13:30
Speaker 1: always decide who their guy is and if they don't
13:33
Speaker 1: like you, and that included Bernie Sanders when he was
13:35
Speaker 1: running for president, they were gonna make sure he didn't
13:38
Speaker 1: get anywhere close to the nomination. Now you look at
13:40
Speaker 1: it this way, and I wonder this question center. Did
13:44
Speaker 1: Republicans maybe misplay this a little bit because there was
13:47
Speaker 1: such shocking news that then we started pushing out there.
13:50
Speaker 4: Should we have looked.
13:51
Speaker 1: At that date earlier on and been like, maybe we
13:53
Speaker 1: should just be quiet for a while, and then on
13:55
Speaker 1: the thirteenth that's when we hammer his candidacy.
13:58
Speaker 3: Look, I will say this Chuck Schumer and Democrat leadership
14:03
Speaker 3: wanted a different candidate. Schumer recruited to the race, Jadet Mills,
14:07
Speaker 3: the Democrat governor from sort of traditional Washington playbook. She
14:12
Speaker 3: was by far the most attractive Democrat candidate. The problem is,
14:18
Speaker 3: the base of the Democrat Party today is batcrap crazy
14:21
Speaker 3: that they've lost their ever loving mind, and so a
14:25
Speaker 3: safe and somewhat boring choice of a city Democrat governor
14:29
Speaker 3: that was far less interesting than a Nazi communist. That's
14:33
Speaker 3: where their base is like. Understand, being a Nazi communist
14:37
Speaker 3: is not a negative in the Democrat Party today. It
14:40
Speaker 3: is a plus because the people who are fueling these
14:43
Speaker 3: campaigns are themselves self described communists, and far too many
14:47
Speaker 3: of them are Nazi communists. That dynamic, yes, very much
14:51
Speaker 3: so well.
14:52
Speaker 1: And the Democratic Party now has become as a party
14:55
Speaker 1: very much anti Semitic. I mean, nationwide, we're seeing activists
14:59
Speaker 1: and candidate and leaders who truly hate Jewish people, whether
15:03
Speaker 1: they're in Israel or in the United States of America
15:04
Speaker 1: anywhere else in the world.
15:05
Speaker 4: That's become norm for them.
15:07
Speaker 3: So it would not surprise me at all if this
15:10
Speaker 3: is Chuck Schumer and Chuck Schumer's minions planting these stories
15:14
Speaker 3: because because he wanted a different candidate, and I think
15:19
Speaker 3: they see blood in the water and they're going after Platnir.
15:22
Speaker 3: I will say this entire episode has really revealed how
15:28
Speaker 3: utterly and completely morally bankrupt the Democrat Party is, because
15:31
Speaker 3: as every one of these stories broke, no Democrats senator
15:36
Speaker 3: abandoned him. The only one who did was John Fetterman,
15:38
Speaker 3: and Fetterman, to his credit, did the right thing. But
15:41
Speaker 3: that makes the other forty six look all the more
15:44
Speaker 3: hypocritical because they are.
15:46
Speaker 1: Got big main people coming to stand on stage with him,
15:49
Speaker 1: Like that's what's incredible, Like he's not canceling campaign events,
15:53
Speaker 1: but you actually have what I would refer to as
15:57
Speaker 1: is your top one percent list of Democratic lawmakers that
16:00
Speaker 1: you want to be seen on stage with if you're
16:02
Speaker 1: running a Democratic campaign. It's the equivalent of having you
16:05
Speaker 1: center go to a Republican campaign, like it's on the
16:07
Speaker 1: short list of people you want to you want to
16:09
Speaker 1: campaign with. They're not backing out as standing by him
16:13
Speaker 1: so far.
16:14
Speaker 3: Just today I saw a tweet from Roe Conna, the
16:17
Speaker 3: very very rich, very very liberal democrat from Silicon Valley
16:20
Speaker 3: member of Congress. He said, how proud he is to
16:23
Speaker 3: be going to Maine to campaign with Graham Platner. This
16:26
Speaker 3: is where their base is. And and and by the way,
16:28
Speaker 3: these people don't care that the guy's misogynists, that he's racist,
16:32
Speaker 3: that he's anti Semitic. They don't care that he's he
16:35
Speaker 3: he has said that he wished that federal uh felt
16:38
Speaker 3: fellow veterans died. And and they don't care that that
16:43
Speaker 3: that he's now a registered user on on a site
16:48
Speaker 3: that is filled with sexual predators and child pornography. None
16:51
Speaker 3: of that matters. He's on their team, so they stick
16:55
Speaker 3: with him no matter what. And by the way, I'll
16:58
Speaker 3: draw a contrast because you know some might say, oh,
17:01
Speaker 3: come on, both sides do that. Well, no, that's not true.
17:04
Speaker 3: If you remember back a few cycles ago when Roy
17:06
Speaker 3: Moore was the nominee in Alabama, the Republican nominee, and
17:10
Speaker 3: once he was the nominee, many of us were willing
17:12
Speaker 3: to support him. And then the stories came out about serious,
17:16
Speaker 3: credible allegations of his engaging in sexual assault of underage girls,
17:22
Speaker 3: and I and a number of other people his answers
17:24
Speaker 3: were thoroughly unsatisfactory. He could not conclusively respond to those allegations,
17:31
Speaker 3: and I at a number of others said all right,
17:33
Speaker 3: we're done now. It resulted in a Democrat winning that seat,
17:36
Speaker 3: so that was from a partisan perspective, not a good thing.
17:39
Speaker 3: But are there no Democrats that they're fond of a
17:44
Speaker 3: phrase of country over party? Does any Democrat actually believe
17:49
Speaker 3: country over party? Or are they just willing to do
17:53
Speaker 3: anything in pursuit of power.
17:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a great question, final one on this. If
17:58
Speaker 1: you are Susan Collins right now looking at this, I
18:00
Speaker 1: think it's pretty clear that you want to you'd want
18:02
Speaker 1: to run against this guy. Partner you that much better
18:06
Speaker 1: person for you to run against. And let's say they
18:08
Speaker 1: do a replacement. Is she looking at the thirteenth date
18:12
Speaker 1: and saying, please, let us get there as fast as
18:15
Speaker 1: we can with this guy.
18:16
Speaker 2: Look, I don't know.
18:17
Speaker 3: I haven't talked to Susan about that, but but the
18:20
Speaker 3: speed with which it's coming out and the source of
18:24
Speaker 3: it that it is Democrats who are going after this
18:27
Speaker 3: guy raises very real suspicions that they're at least some
18:31
Speaker 3: in the party. And I suspect Schumer's front and center
18:33
Speaker 3: who have decided let let's let let's cut our losses
18:38
Speaker 3: with this guy and throw them overboard.
18:40
Speaker 2: And you know his.
18:41
Speaker 4: Torture prediction for the thirteenth. You think they will.
18:44
Speaker 2: I think there's a very good chance.
18:47
Speaker 4: I want to move to Andra right now.
18:49
Speaker 1: And we've talked about under on the show before, but
18:51
Speaker 1: we have new news on this, and I want to
18:53
Speaker 1: get the headline for people say, understand, uh, just how
18:57
Speaker 1: big of anitious is, even if it's not being covered
19:00
Speaker 1: by the media.
19:01
Speaker 4: That's why we did a show.
19:02
Speaker 1: The Washington Free Beacon came out with an article it's
19:05
Speaker 1: his exclusive US probe of embattled You and Gaza Relief
19:08
Speaker 1: Agency now expands to one thousand, five hundred plus staffers
19:15
Speaker 1: suspected with direct ties to Hamas. Now that would be
19:18
Speaker 1: direct ties to a terrorist organization. Senat, We've been warning
19:22
Speaker 1: about this for a long time. There's the presence that
19:24
Speaker 1: talked about how worthless in many ways the United Nations
19:28
Speaker 1: can be, certainly in the Middle East. This is another
19:30
Speaker 1: example of this. We know that Hamas had worked with
19:32
Speaker 1: the United Nations people on the ground. Food had been stolen,
19:35
Speaker 1: Countless dollars of eight have been stolen and given to terrorists.
19:39
Speaker 1: And now you see the compromising of UN staff of
19:42
Speaker 1: up to one thousand, five hundred plus people. I wish
19:46
Speaker 1: I could say I'm surprised by this.
19:48
Speaker 4: I am not.
19:49
Speaker 1: But what does this story say about what America's role
19:52
Speaker 1: should be moving forward?
19:53
Speaker 2: Look?
19:54
Speaker 3: For a long time, I've called for UNRA to be
19:56
Speaker 3: completely defunded, to be shut down. UNRA is so so
20:00
Speaker 3: bad it makes the UN itself seem like a pro America,
20:04
Speaker 3: fantastic organization with integrity, part of the UN.
20:08
Speaker 2: But it is.
20:09
Speaker 3: It is the most corrupt part. Here's what was reported
20:14
Speaker 3: the story by Adam Credo, the Federal investigation and his
20:18
Speaker 3: staff of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. The
20:20
Speaker 3: UN Gaza relief organization that has been closely linked to
20:24
Speaker 3: Hamas will soon encompass at least one thy five hundred
20:28
Speaker 3: unrelinked individuals suspected of terror ties. This unprecedented dragonet, reported
20:34
Speaker 3: here for the first time by the Washington Free Beacon,
20:37
Speaker 3: exposes an AID group brimming with Hamas operatives and is
20:42
Speaker 3: generating momentum in Congress and the Trump administration for harsher
20:45
Speaker 3: sanctions on the embattled AID group. According to congressional staffers
20:49
Speaker 3: briefed on the matter. The punitive matters up for consideration
20:52
Speaker 3: include stripping UNRA of its diplomatic immunity under US law,
20:56
Speaker 3: which would open it up to legal action from terror victims,
21:00
Speaker 3: and fully designating the AID organization as a foreign terrorist organization.
21:04
Speaker 3: According to three Trump administration officials and other sources tracking
21:08
Speaker 3: the matter in Congress, these discussions have accelerated since The
21:12
Speaker 3: Free Beacon first reported in April that UNRUN other un
21:14
Speaker 3: agencies are stonewalling a federal probe into their ties to HAMAS.
21:20
Speaker 3: The US Agency for International Development Inspector General's Office, a
21:24
Speaker 3: law enforcement agency separate from the largely defunct USAID, has
21:28
Speaker 3: spent months independently unearthing evidence that multiple UNRE employees participated
21:35
Speaker 3: in hamas's October seventh terror attack. Let me repeat that again,
21:40
Speaker 3: participating multiple UNRA employees participated in hamas's October seventh terror attack.
21:49
Speaker 3: The probe will soon expand to at least one thousand,
21:51
Speaker 3: five hundred suspected militants with UNRA ties, the article continues.
21:56
Speaker 3: Senators Ted Cruz and Bill Haggerty, influential members of the
22:00
Speaker 3: Senate Foreign Relations Committee, nice of them to say that
22:03
Speaker 3: both told the Free Beacon, I mean they could have said,
22:06
Speaker 3: you know, lousy members.
22:07
Speaker 4: I think those two random guys in the Senate.
22:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you were two guys we ran into on
22:12
Speaker 3: the street. So that's nice of them to say. Both
22:15
Speaker 3: told the Free Beacon that it's time to move beyond
22:17
Speaker 3: merely freezing unrestfunding, particularly as the USAID Inspector General continues
22:22
Speaker 3: to unearth evidence of Hamas complicity. Quote, either they come
22:26
Speaker 3: clean or I expect growing momentum for designating them for
22:29
Speaker 3: the support they give to terrorists crew said Haggarty called
22:33
Speaker 3: it quote appalling that the other UN agencies today are
22:36
Speaker 3: still stonewalling the Trump administration's ongoing investigations, adding that quote,
22:42
Speaker 3: if UN agencies refuse to show basic transparency and accountability,
22:47
Speaker 3: then the Executive Branch and Congress must respond appropriately. That's
22:51
Speaker 3: a big deal. And it's a big deal that both
22:53
Speaker 3: the UN and and and UNRE in particular are still
22:56
Speaker 3: stonewalling and refusing to accept any accountability.
22:59
Speaker 4: What's so Yeah, it is.
23:02
Speaker 1: One other thing on this is the fact that it's
23:04
Speaker 1: so widespread. There is no way that the United Nations
23:08
Speaker 1: didn't know about this. There was no way that UNDRA
23:11
Speaker 1: and the leadership didn't know about this. And we're not
23:13
Speaker 1: talking about fifteen talking about more than one thousand, five
23:15
Speaker 1: hundred would direct tie a terrorist organization. What does that
23:18
Speaker 1: say about the President's standpoint on not just under but
23:21
Speaker 1: also on the UN in general. Because I don't believe
23:25
Speaker 1: for a moment that the UN doesn't know this.
23:28
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about how pervasive it is.
23:30
Speaker 3: So so, Ben, how many employees do you think there
23:33
Speaker 3: are an UNRA.
23:35
Speaker 4: That's a great question. I have no clue.
23:36
Speaker 1: I mean, i'd say ten thousand, just because it's a
23:38
Speaker 1: bloated agency.
23:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had no idea.
23:42
Speaker 3: And so as we were preparing for the POD, I
23:44
Speaker 3: pulled out my Google and I typed in how many
23:47
Speaker 3: staff are there at UNRA? And Google came back and said,
23:51
Speaker 3: there are approximately thirty thousand staff in Iran. We now
23:56
Speaker 3: have an investigation into more than fifteen hundred of them
24:00
Speaker 3: for direct ties to Hamas. That's five percent of the agency.
24:05
Speaker 3: That's not one isolated person, fifteen hundred out of thirty
24:09
Speaker 3: thousand suspected of being HAMAS terrorist or directly linked to
24:13
Speaker 3: AMAS terrorists. That is a big damn deal. That is
24:18
Speaker 3: an agency that needs to shut down, needs to be padlocked,
24:22
Speaker 3: needs to be ended. The idea that the United Nations,
24:26
Speaker 3: much less the United States, would be providing funding that's
24:29
Speaker 3: going directly to Hamas terrorists. That is insanity. It needs
24:33
Speaker 3: to stop.
24:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you there.
24:35
Speaker 1: I want to move finally on to Joe Biden and
24:37
Speaker 1: you want to talk about a dumpster fire of interviews.
24:39
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's out there. I was like, is she i
24:42
Speaker 1: Witley was searching. I'm like, is she promoting a book?
24:44
Speaker 1: And does she write about autobiography? She's out there doing
24:47
Speaker 1: all these interviews, trying to rewrite history, but also wants
24:51
Speaker 1: you to feel sorry for her and her husband, saying
24:53
Speaker 1: that his bad night, she was terrified he was having
24:56
Speaker 1: a stroke. The only problem is after she thought he
24:58
Speaker 1: maybe having a stroke in that debate with Donald Trump,
25:01
Speaker 1: she had no problem taking him to campaign event and
25:03
Speaker 1: then to a waffle house and said on TV with
25:05
Speaker 1: him standing there, I'm so proud of you did such
25:07
Speaker 1: a great job tonight. It's either I'm like, all right,
25:09
Speaker 1: well it's a senior abuse or your pathological liar, or both.
25:13
Speaker 2: Well.
25:14
Speaker 3: You and I did an emergency podcast the night of
25:17
Speaker 3: that debate. We did it immediately as the debate concluded,
25:20
Speaker 3: and we told verdict. Listeners, at the time, you've just
25:23
Speaker 3: watched the single most consequential presidential debate in American history.
25:26
Speaker 3: And the reason is and you and I predicted that
25:29
Speaker 3: night as the debate ended, this debate will change the
25:33
Speaker 3: names on the ballot in November. This debate was such
25:35
Speaker 3: a disaster, such a train wreck. The Democrats will do
25:39
Speaker 3: what we're worried they're going to do with Graham Plattner,
25:41
Speaker 3: which is pull them off and put someone else on.
25:44
Speaker 3: The Democrats are really Republicans are lousy at this. By
25:46
Speaker 3: the way, Republicans almost never managed to do this. The
25:49
Speaker 3: Democrats are ruthlessly efficient. And we saw that debate, we
25:54
Speaker 3: saw it went badly. But it turns out apparently Jill
25:58
Speaker 3: Biden thought it went't even worse worse than we did.
26:00
Speaker 3: Give a listen to what she said. She thought when
26:03
Speaker 3: she was watching the debate.
26:05
Speaker 5: You horrified as you saw it on Hold, I wasn't horrified.
26:09
Speaker 5: I was frightened because I had never ever seen Joe
26:15
Speaker 5: like that before or since, never since, yes.
26:20
Speaker 2: Or he's never seen never.
26:22
Speaker 5: No, what happened, I don't know what happened. I mean
26:26
Speaker 5: when I as I watched it, I thought, oh my God,
26:28
Speaker 5: he's having a stroke and it scared me to death.
26:32
Speaker 1: Senator, if you think that your spouse is having a stroke, A,
26:38
Speaker 1: why would you leave him on stage? B? Why would
26:41
Speaker 1: you then take to a campaign event afterwards? And C
26:45
Speaker 1: why would you then go to waffle house instead of
26:47
Speaker 1: to a doctor?
26:48
Speaker 4: And d uh?
26:49
Speaker 1: If this is the worst it ever was, and the
26:52
Speaker 1: whole world saw that exact moment, It's never been anywhere
26:54
Speaker 1: close before. After you're either a pathological liar A or B.
26:58
Speaker 1: You're either a pathology a coiar who's crazy? You pick
27:01
Speaker 1: which one you want to be.
27:04
Speaker 3: Look, Ben, this is an area where where I think
27:07
Speaker 3: the American people have a great sense of intuition of
27:11
Speaker 3: judging whether someone's speaking the truth or lying. You asked
27:14
Speaker 3: the right question, what would you do if you believed
27:18
Speaker 3: your spouse, your spouse of many decades, was having a stroke?
27:22
Speaker 3: And the answer every one of us would give the
27:25
Speaker 3: answer you would give the answer I would give. The
27:26
Speaker 3: answer everyone would give is you take your doctor your
27:30
Speaker 3: spouse to the hospital.
27:31
Speaker 4: Immediately, regardless of what they're doing, regardless.
27:34
Speaker 3: Of what think they're having a stroke. And look, maybe
27:37
Speaker 3: you don't rush out and pull them off National TV.
27:40
Speaker 3: I don't know about that, but at a minimum, So
27:42
Speaker 3: suppose you just just just you're scared, but you don't
27:45
Speaker 3: as soon as it was over, how do you not say,
27:48
Speaker 3: we're going to the emergency room. We're gonna go okay,
27:50
Speaker 3: you don't want a big public public bru haha, all right,
27:54
Speaker 3: get a doctor when you're watching it, he's having a stroke.
27:56
Speaker 3: Get a doctor here right now. The instant he steps
27:59
Speaker 3: off stage.
27:59
Speaker 2: I want to being.
28:00
Speaker 3: Examined like that. Anyone who is watching their spouse and
28:05
Speaker 3: thinks they're having a stroke would do that. She didn't
28:09
Speaker 3: do that. She went to the campaign party. She cheered
28:11
Speaker 3: and celebrated. I'm actually not critical like you're giving. You're
28:17
Speaker 3: giving harsh criticism because she said he did great. Look,
28:20
Speaker 3: she's a campaign spouse. Every campaign spouse is gonna say that.
28:25
Speaker 3: I'm understanding of that. If I do a terrible job
28:29
Speaker 3: at a debate, I don't really want Heidi to go, wow,
28:31
Speaker 3: he really crapped the bed like that.
28:35
Speaker 4: I understand that.
28:36
Speaker 1: But my point is that the pathological laying aspect of this,
28:40
Speaker 1: I don't believe for a second that she's telling the truth.
28:42
Speaker 1: And she says it's the worst it's ever been it
28:44
Speaker 1: only happened that one time. It happened to be the
28:45
Speaker 1: one and a half hours it was on national television
28:48
Speaker 1: during a presidential debate. I don't believe her. Number one
28:51
Speaker 1: and number two. If you are I mean center, let's
28:56
Speaker 1: let's go to a debate night with you. If I thought,
28:58
Speaker 1: as one of your friends, that you're having a stroke
29:01
Speaker 1: and you could make it till the end, I would
29:03
Speaker 1: immediately do what you just said. And I'm not your spouse,
29:06
Speaker 1: and I think your team would. But second of all,
29:08
Speaker 1: I think you'd also if you thought there was a
29:10
Speaker 1: medical issue there, you probably would actually let people know,
29:14
Speaker 1: because they did. Remember, they may have excuse they lied
29:16
Speaker 1: and said he had a cold, like if you thought
29:18
Speaker 1: something was bad, that's your alibi to get out of
29:21
Speaker 1: a terrible debate. Which is why I think they didn't
29:23
Speaker 1: actually say it is because this was the cognitive normal
29:26
Speaker 1: for him. And so I think it's another part of
29:29
Speaker 1: the pathological lyeing of the Democratic Party in the cover
29:31
Speaker 1: up is that they're like, no, no, no, this is
29:33
Speaker 1: she says. One time, I think, no, it wasn't. This
29:35
Speaker 1: is the guy that wasn't running the country. Somebody else
29:37
Speaker 1: was in the White House. And then they glied and
29:39
Speaker 1: covered it up. And now she's saying it only happened
29:42
Speaker 1: one time. I don't believe her for a moment.
29:44
Speaker 2: Well.
29:44
Speaker 3: And in fact, listen to a reporter ask asking her
29:49
Speaker 3: about whether this had been going on for a long time.
29:51
Speaker 2: Give a listen.
29:52
Speaker 5: Did you ever see signs that he was falling into
29:56
Speaker 5: cognitive declimb?
29:58
Speaker 4: No? No, no, true, no. I mean that's just totally insane.
30:05
Speaker 4: Everyone saw it.
30:07
Speaker 1: There was examples that you could actually give that were
30:09
Speaker 1: caught on tape. And then I go back to what
30:12
Speaker 1: she said, It was the worst I ever saw. I
30:13
Speaker 1: thought he was having a stroke, but I didn't do
30:15
Speaker 1: anything when he was having a stroke, and I never
30:17
Speaker 1: saw anything like this ever. Again, this is why I
30:19
Speaker 1: think so many Americans have distrust for politicians, and why
30:23
Speaker 1: you should even be asking more questions now about who
30:25
Speaker 1: the hell was running the country.
30:26
Speaker 4: Was it Joe Biden? I don't know.
30:29
Speaker 3: And by the way, I'll say again, I am I
30:32
Speaker 3: am more forgiving of of Jill Biden of the spouse.
30:36
Speaker 2: Uh.
30:36
Speaker 3: But every Democrat aide knew that he was in massive
30:40
Speaker 3: mental decline, that that that he was not capable of
30:43
Speaker 3: doing the job. Every reporter knew that ABC new, that
30:47
Speaker 3: CBS knew, that NBC new that CNN knew that MSNBC
30:51
Speaker 3: new that.
30:51
Speaker 2: They all knew that.
30:53
Speaker 4: And where were these it was going on?
30:56
Speaker 3: But every Democrat senator, every Democrat House member, they all
31:00
Speaker 3: knew that. The four years Joe Biden was president. Do
31:02
Speaker 3: you know how many times I spoke with him in
31:04
Speaker 3: person in those four years?
31:06
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess one or zero.
31:08
Speaker 2: Zero, not a single time.
31:10
Speaker 3: That is weird. It is a regular part of the
31:14
Speaker 3: job of being a senator to talk to the president.
31:16
Speaker 3: When Obama was president, I talked to him regularly. When
31:18
Speaker 3: Trump is president, I talk to him sometimes every week
31:21
Speaker 3: or sometimes even every day. You know, last time I
31:24
Speaker 3: talked to Trump was three days ago.
31:26
Speaker 2: It is weird.
31:27
Speaker 3: And by the way, it was not just me. Almost
31:30
Speaker 3: every single Republican senator did not speak to him at
31:34
Speaker 3: all during his presidency. We would sit around at lunch
31:37
Speaker 3: and talk about how weird it was that the White
31:40
Speaker 3: House would not let us talk to the president. And understand,
31:44
Speaker 3: we all knew him. Joe was a man of the
31:46
Speaker 3: Senate for forty plus years, so every one of us
31:49
Speaker 3: had a personal relationship with Joe Biden and the fact
31:53
Speaker 3: that they wouldn't let him speak to us was a
31:56
Speaker 3: screaming alarm bell that his medal could pass. City has
32:00
Speaker 3: diminished so much that they couldn't let us see it.
32:03
Speaker 3: And it's why the debate was so high risk, because
32:06
Speaker 3: there you had the TV cameras going and you couldn't
32:08
Speaker 3: have an aid step in and save him. But well,
32:12
Speaker 3: by the way, what did the Biden staffs say about
32:15
Speaker 3: Jill Biden's comments about thinking he was having a stroke? Well,
32:19
Speaker 3: an axious reporter said, quote ex Biden aids simply don't
32:24
Speaker 3: believe Jill Biden.
32:27
Speaker 4: And there's your sign. Well, there's your sign.
32:30
Speaker 3: No kidding, but I'll tell you And this story links
32:34
Speaker 3: back to the story we started with number one. Democrats
32:39
Speaker 3: in the party and the media do not care about
32:42
Speaker 3: anything other than power. That sounds too harsh, but they
32:46
Speaker 3: were willing to have for four years and potentially for
32:49
Speaker 3: eight years, someone who was senile, who was unable to
32:53
Speaker 3: put together coherent thoughts as the commander in chief. Understand
32:58
Speaker 3: Joe Biden could have pushed a launched our nukes, an
33:02
Speaker 3: annihilated mankind from the face of the planet. And yet
33:06
Speaker 3: Democrats say, you know what if he's there, we get
33:10
Speaker 3: to run things. So you know, what does it matter
33:12
Speaker 3: if our enemies look at the commander in chief and
33:14
Speaker 3: think he's an adult old man who can't operate the
33:18
Speaker 3: TV remote control that level of cynicism. Frankly, it's the
33:22
Speaker 3: same thought process that says, what does it matter if
33:26
Speaker 3: someone is a commi nazi, misogynist, racist, What does it matter?
33:32
Speaker 3: My party gets to stay in power, So that's good
33:34
Speaker 3: by me.
33:36
Speaker 2: There is.
33:38
Speaker 3: Look, I think it is number one we keep. And
33:43
Speaker 3: by the way, swallwell, they were fine, someone's a repeat
33:46
Speaker 3: sexual predator. They were great with him until there was
33:50
Speaker 3: a political problem, and then with all three they immediately
33:54
Speaker 3: jettisoned them and throw them out the back. I'm going
34:00
Speaker 3: to try to be restrained and say that is not
34:03
Speaker 3: the behavior of a party that gives a damn about principle.
34:08
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, great point.
34:10
Speaker 1: Finally, Senator, we have some breaking news as we are recording,
34:14
Speaker 1: and they're saying it's a regime rift. I'm going to
34:16
Speaker 1: read this headline for you. Iran's president reportedly submits resignation
34:21
Speaker 1: letter amid claims of deepening internal divisions. What does this mean?
34:27
Speaker 1: And that's all we have at this moment. I wish
34:29
Speaker 1: we had more, we don't. That's what we have at
34:31
Speaker 1: this moment. Some of this by the time you listen
34:33
Speaker 1: to it may have changed, but right now, that's what
34:36
Speaker 1: we've got, so.
34:37
Speaker 3: We don't know. We're recording this on Sunday. The news
34:40
Speaker 3: is breaking. I expected the next pod we'll discuss more
34:42
Speaker 3: about it. But Iran's president resigning strikes me as a
34:47
Speaker 3: good thing. I have always said that a critical objective
34:50
Speaker 3: here should be regime collapse. The president resigning is a
34:53
Speaker 3: step in the right direction. Now, sitting here today, I
34:57
Speaker 3: don't know that whether that means the hardliners are prevailing,
35:00
Speaker 3: or whether that means voices of sanity are prevailing. We'll
35:03
Speaker 3: learn more, we'll talk more. But as you know, I
35:06
Speaker 3: spoke with the President this week, spent about twenty minutes
35:09
Speaker 3: on the phone with him, talking predominantly about Iran, and
35:12
Speaker 3: what I urged the President was hold the line, hold
35:15
Speaker 3: the line, stand strong, no nukes, no nukes, no nukes,
35:18
Speaker 3: and the President adamantly agreed with me. We were on
35:21
Speaker 3: exactly the same page. So I'm hopeful this is a
35:24
Speaker 3: good development. But it's too early to tell. We will
35:27
Speaker 3: tell you more when we know more about it.
35:29
Speaker 1: We'll do that Wednesday morning. Don't forget hit that subscriber
35:32
Speaker 1: auto download button. Please write us a five star review.
35:35
Speaker 1: If you want to watch the show, you can on
35:36
Speaker 1: YouTube as well. And the Senator and I will see
35:39
Speaker 1: you back here on Wednesday morning.
