Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is a verdict with Ted Cruz Weekend Review. Ben
Ferguson with you, and these are the big stories that
you may have missed that we talked about this week.
We're going to deal with this Number One witnesses in
the Hunter Biden case. Who are they going to be
and who's going to be called to testify before Congress
if there is an impeachment hearing moving forward? And how
(00:23):
important could these witnesses be and how damning could they
be to the President of the United States of America,
Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're going to talk about that. Number Two. The White
House has.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also moved the goalposts for a third time when it
comes to the President and what he is admitting to
now with business dealings with Hunter Biden. You may recall
that the Presidence at over and over again he never
spoke about business with his son, He never spoke about
business with any of the Biden family members. That's a lie.
They then said, well, he was never in business with
(00:55):
his son. Now they've changed it again. I'll tell you
what that third excuse is in just a moment. And finally,
Mayor Mike Adams in New York City and other liberal
mayors are having serious regrets about being a welcoming, loving
kind city for illegal immigrants, being a sanctuary city. Now
(01:16):
they're demanding change, but they're refusing to tell the president
to shut down the border. It is the weekend review
with Ted Cruz and it starts right now, Sinata. I
want to ask you also in impeachment, real quick about witnesses.
Are there people that can now be called that may
have to answer for their involvement, Whether it's those the DOJ,
(01:38):
whether it's Hunter Biden, whether it's other Biden family members.
Walk us through how an impeachment works when it comes
to witnesses.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Merrick Garland is expected to testify before the House Judiciary
Committee in the coming days, and he will certainly face
significant questions about the allegations that he personally lied under
oath and committed a felony.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now, I assume he'll dodge all.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Of them in defiant life and arrogantly refuse to engage
in the substance. I also assume he will get questions
about the allegations of obstruction of justice, and I expect
Merrick Garland to not be remotely forthcoming. I think at
some point you will see David Weiss called before Congress
to testify. David Weiss has been directly implicated in the
(02:21):
obstruction of justice, which is I believe why Merrick Garland
named him the quote special counsel, because Garland and the
Biden DOJ knew they could count on Weiss to protect
the big guy, and that's their most important objective. We've
talked about how Schwerin, who was the kind of money
guy and fixer for Biden, is a very likely witness
and could be a very damning witness, and I would
(02:42):
anticipate seeing him come and then we may well. I
assume Hunter Biden, if he's called to testify, will Stonewall
at this point the legal.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What does that look like when you say Stonewall, is
it a tactic or are you saying he just won't
answer questions?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Assumption is will plead the fifth?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Okay, So he just come in and say I plead
the fifth and that's the end of it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I assume that's the case, given the multiple felonies and
the fact that he even Dad's white House seems to
be running away from him. I would be shocked if
Hunter Biden said anything else other than on the advice
of counsel, I plead the fifth. I will say one
other thing, which is this Biden impeachment is demonstrating the
(03:29):
utter and complete hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats. Let me read
what Chuck Schumer said this week, right after the House
announced it's impeachment. Schumer said, quote, I think the impeachment
inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do
something that will make their lives better, not go off
on these chases witch hunts. So Schumer is literally using
(03:56):
Trump's language about witch hunts and just repeating word for
word what the defense was. Now, look, I think the
Biden impeachments of Trump were witch hunts. Ironically, this is not.
This is serious evidence that Congress would be derelict if
it didn't investigate. Here, by the way, is a quote
from from Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
This is what banana dictatorships do is arrest political opponents
without any evidence. Now that's screamingly funny. Yeah, given that
the Democrats have arrested their political opponent.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Like a banana republic.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But part of the.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Reasons Democrats can be such total hypocrites is they know
the corporate media will never call them out on it.
That the corporate media will nod and say yes, yes,
Banana Republic. Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, No direct evidence, no
direct evidence. And if you take nothing else from this
podcast today, remember every time they say the words no
direct evidence, they're lying.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
One other thing about this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And this is where people say, Okay, we have this thing,
it happens.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Let's say it is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Let's say there are some some some you know minds
that the Democrats step on, the White House steps on.
We still don't have the votes and the Senate to
do anything about it. Right, That's what they're gonna That's
what people that are cynical and frustrated are gonna say
about this. So how should we be looking at this impeachment?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is this? Should? Should? Should? Should?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
People that are listening look at it from a standpoint of, Hey,
we're getting the truth out there in a very big
way about Joe Biden before he's running for reelection, and
that can be extremely powerful and and in other words,
judgment day may be election day. Or should we look
at it and be frustrated cynical because like, well, even
if we nail this thing in the House. It ain't
gonna pass the Senate. So he's not going to be
impeached and lose his job over this. What mindset? What
(05:52):
hat should listeners put on?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So a little bit of both listen, The cynicism is
not misplaced. Senate Democrats and House Democrats do not care
what evidence there is of Joe Biden being corruptive, is
soliciting and receiving bribes from falling fourig oligarchs. They don't care.
Partisan politics trumps everything. To use my hypothetical, if the
dead guy had scrawled in blood Ferguson did it with
(06:18):
Joe Biden. Yeah, and Joe Biden walked out covered in
his blood, Democrats would be like nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Remind people what the makeup of the Senate right now.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The makeup of the Senate is fifty one Democrats, forty
nine republic.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
All right, we've heard about some of you maybe becoming independent.
We've heard, you know, wishy washy things about Joe Manchin,
for example. Is there any scenario where the evidence could
be so damning on the House side that you could
you could flip two different people's people in the Senate, It.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Wouldn't matter if you flip two because you need two thirds,
you need sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And right now we have zero.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Right now we have zero Democrats who, to the best
of my knowledge, I'm not aware of a single Democrat
who's even asked a skeptic question who has even said, well,
you know, if Biden did, in fact solicit and receive
bribes from foreign nationals, that would be a problem. No
Democrat has even said that. And you contrast this to
Richard Nixon. Listen, the reason Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace
(07:15):
his Republicans turned on him. They turned on him when
the evidence got over him. And I don't believe Democrats
would ever, ever, ever turn on Biden because partisanship matters
more than anything.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But be that as it may, that does not.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Mean that impeachment is a waste of time, because it
is the only way to put these facts before the
American people. In a sane and normal world, the Department
of Justice would investigate and prosecute him. We'd get a
special counsel who was independent, who was consistent with the
DOJ rules, was not an employee of DJ, and actually
(07:51):
would investigate in conveni grand jury and potentially prosecute these crimes.
The Biden DOJ won't do that because it's the most
part of a political DJ we've ever seen. But putting
these facts before the American people is valuable, nonetheless. But
to be clear, a critical part of that is what
we're doing right now on Verdict, which which is the
(08:12):
million people who listen to Verdict. All of y'all now
have the information. When you go and you're talking to
your brother in law, you're talking to your coworker, you're
talking to your classmate, and they say, well, you know
there's no direct evidence, because that's the talking point they've heard.
You now know how to refute that, and that is powerful.
(08:34):
That has a multiplier effect, and it's how I believe,
ultimately you force accountability.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I said on my podcast today, I always worry because
you've noticed this in the polls. Biden poll numbers right
now are not good, and the media seems to be
telling more of the truth about how bad the poll
numbers are. And the majority of Americans now say they
do believe that Joe Biden was corrupt in some manner
with his son in the business dealings. That that's significant.
(09:01):
CNN even came out PBS on Sunday. They even had
one of their commentators that said, I underestimated Joe Biden's
involvement with Hunter Biden, the Biden family businesses. Is there
a concern that if the Republicans play this too strong
and don't take their time to ly at the evidence
of this could backfire in the same way. And again
(09:22):
I'm asking from a political standpoint that every time the
Democrats indict Donald Trump, what happens. Republicans stand behind Donald Trump,
even Moore, They they send him money, they support him,
His poll numbers go up. Is there a concern that
if Republicans don't nail this the right way, that this
actually galvanizes people that maybe your wishy washy on Biden
(09:44):
and then it actually helps him stand up better than
he is right now.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, look, that is conceivable. And there's no doubt that
the multiple indictments against Trump have added a lot of points,
at least ten points to his numbers in the primary
because Republicans have understandably gotten pissed off that it's obviously
a political persecution. So that counsels that the Republicans, the
Republicans in the House, need to proceed carefully They need
(10:07):
to be facts based, they need to be evidence based.
They need to not have it appear political. Now, in
today's world, there will be people who naturally assume it's political.
But that is certainly a vulnerability to be aware of.
Another vulnerability is at some point the Democrats and or
the media might decide that Joe Biden is too wounded
(10:29):
and jettison him and try to parachute someone else in
I think that remains a very real risk. We're going
to talk about that a lot more on the podcast,
but not on this one.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
If you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
you can go back and listen to the full podcast
from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, Sata,
I also want to ask you about this. The White
House had a very interesting response, and this is the
third change now in the goalpost for Joe Biden's met
(11:00):
with Hunter Biden's businesses. The first was they never spoke
about business. Ever, then they change it to he was
never in business with his son. That was the goal
post moving yet again. Now the White Houses Ian Sam's
came out and moved the goal posts again when he
said this.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
The other allegations is the president was present at some
of the meetings between Hunter Biden and his business associates.
Why was the president at those meetings on those phone calls.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Well, again, I think this is part of the right
wing's misinformation machine to try to confuse people about what
the truth is. The truth is that the President, as
he has said publicly for years, calls his family every
day to check in. He calls his son every day
to check in. He calls his other family members to
check in to see how they're doing.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He loves them.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
They're a tight knit family. And what the GOP's own
witness testified in this case is that that's exactly what
the President was doing. He was checking in with Hunter
during a particularly hard time. I might add a time
where the family was going through Hunter's brother Bo's illness,
and of course the President checks in with his son
and talks to them. But again that witness testified no
(12:12):
business dealings of Hunter Biden's or anyone's was discussed in
these conversations. And so again they're trying to make this
sort of strange connection when their own investigation has disproven
these claims.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Before I let you go in, this is the president
response in terms of how the President has reacted to this,
especially as somebody who's been in politics and been at
Washington for as long as he has been, the idea
that he is now subject to an impeachment inquiry as
president of the United States. What's his response to that.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You know, the President has been in politics for a
long time, and I think, as he would say, he's
seen a lot of malarkey along the way, but this
might take the cake. You know, he's focused on the
issues that actually matter to the American people. You just
saw him spending the last week traveling around the world
shoring up our alliance as advancing national interests in Asia,
our economic interests in Asia, showing American leadership on the
(13:02):
world stage. He's coming back here. He's announcing today a
quarter billion dollar investment in cancer research try to finally
cure cancer. That's what his administration and this president is
focused on every day. They're focused on the actual needs
of the American people. And I think what he would
say is maybe the House Republicans should join him.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
There's the pardon there where he says that Joe Biden
attended Hunter's business meetings because he loves him. That's the
new goalpost that they just moved significantly from they never
talked about business to then well they never work together.
Now it's well, he just went to the business meetings
because he loves him.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Really, that's the new excuse.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, look, I mean, what good and loving and devoted
father hasn't called in twenty times to his son's meeting
with corrupt oligarchs who are paying millions of dollars in
exchange for favors from that father while he's sitting and
serving as the vice president of the United States. That's
(14:00):
really just what any good dad would do. I mean it,
it really is. It's cynical because they point out that
that that Joe's other son tragically died of cancer, so
they want to wrap it in in the sympathy of
of of of a human tragedy to say, well, of course,
you know, listen, why was Hunter getting paid the millions
(14:25):
of dollars? I didn't hear him say a word about that.
There's no value Hunter provides. What was the value Hunter brought?
You know, Ben, you're a talented guy, You're a charming guy.
Are there any foreign ola garks calling you up saying, Ben,
I want to wire millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
To you zero. That's not all you know.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
They don't do that to anybody. They only do it
if you were providing value. And what all of these
talking heads, what all of these democrats hacks are saying,
what all of the corporate media puppets are refusing to answer,
is is what did Hunter get in exchange for the
(15:10):
tens of millions of dollars? And according to the House
it could be north of twenty thirty million dollars. We're
talking massive amounts of money, and by the way, not
money from you know, normal American companies, not money from
our friends and allies. It wasn't money from France, it
wasn't money from Italy. It wasn't money from the United Kingdom.
(15:32):
It wasn't money from Japan. It was money from China, Russia, Ukraine.
They singled out nations with very significant antagonism and hostility
to America and some of the most corrupt nations on earth.
(15:55):
And there is no innocent explanation. By the way, you
don't hear any of these democrats explaining why did Joe
Biden have multiple book burner phones, why did he have
fake emails? Why did he use fake emails? To send
emails to his son Hunter about Ukraine on government email
while Hunter was getting paid millions of dollars. All of
(16:17):
that the Democrats want you to ignore and say, well, gosh,
Joe's just a loving dad, and that's what loving dads do.
They help their their sons make thirty million dollars from
corrupt oligarchs who are enemies of America.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I want to get back to this montage center that
was one that went viral, and I hope you will
give this to your friends share it on social media,
because it's another example of how many lives have been
told by the Bidens and how much the media has
been willing to cover for them. And this is what
this impeachment inquiry is going to be all about.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Ever discussed with my son's one mind brother or anyone
else in the heaven.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
With their businesses, President Biden met with at least fourteen
of Hunter's business associates while he was vice president.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And Vice President, Joe Biden had dinner with his son
Hunter along with Hunters of business associates from Ukraine, Russia,
and Kazakhstan, and the day after the dinner, a Barisma
executive sent a note to Hunter.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Quoting dear Hunter, thank you for inviting.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your
father and spend some time together.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Hunter's lucrative business dealings often included giving as much as
fifty percent of his earnings to his dad.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
The text read quote, I hope you all can do
what I did and pay for everything for this entire
family for thirty years. It's really hard, but don't worry
onlike Pop, I won't make you give me half your salary.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
His son Hunter joining the then Vice president on the
official visit to Beijing. Unknown to the press, back then,
Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund, planning
to raise money, including from Chinese investors. Ten days after
the Bidens trip, Shanghai authorities issued the fund's business license.
Speaker 12 (17:57):
And the Hunter introduced me as a This is Tony, Dad,
the individual I told you about that's helping us with
the business that we're working on in the.
Speaker 13 (18:05):
Chinese The email reads this way quote at the moment,
there's a provisional agreement that the equity will be distributed
as followed ten held by Hunter for the big.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
Guy, I one thousand percent set here and know that
the big guy is referencing Joe Biden I met with
a former vice president of person multiple times.
Speaker 14 (18:24):
A newly revealed text message, jos Babolinski was apparently warned
by business partner James Gillier, don't mention Joe being involved.
It's only when you are faced with face. I know
you know that, but they are paranoid.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Chinese executives admitted to reporters that they were actually introduced
to the Vice presidents by Hunter by.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Hunter and the then Vice President, saying for a pair
of Mexican billionaires.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
At the same time, Hunter had been working on energy
deals in Mexico.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Joe Biden also had Hunt at his business partnt Fly
once two to Mexico.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
His closest business partner.
Speaker 15 (18:57):
Hunters made at least nineteen visits to the White House
and other official locations, including a sit down with then
Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
There's photographic evidence of Biden on a golf out and
with both his son Hunter and a man called Devin Archer,
who was another member of the Parice Maboor.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
We also know that Devin Archer in that picture had
a meeting in the White House one on one meeting
with Joe Biden about a week before they joined the
Parice Mabour.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You hear that, Senator, and this explains exactly why this
impeachment inquiry is going to be so important.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Well, it does.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It also explains why the Democrat talking point and the
corporate media talking point that there is no evidence of
Joe Biden's corruption. It is flatly false. And I got
to say James Carvill saying he's really looking forward to
hearings on this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, you know what, James so am.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I as before.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
If you want to hear the rest of this conversation
on this topic, you can go back and now the
podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
I want to get back to the big story number
three of the week.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You may have missed.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
There was a moment this last week which I didn't
actually laugh at first. My response was to laugh at
Mayor Adams in New York City basically declaring a state
of emergency, saying we can't handle this, We're totally overrun.
And I wanted to laugh, but I'm also like, yeah,
welcome to the world of what we deal with every hour,
not every day, not every week, like you guys are
freaking out over the number of illegals come across the
(20:26):
border in Texas. As you described it, we're talking about
hundreds of thousands per month. This is every hour for us.
And yet he had this like dire warning to New
York City.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Take a look.
Speaker 16 (20:36):
We turned this city around in twenty months. And then
what happened started with a madman down in Texas decided
he wanted to bust people up to New York City.
One hundred and ten thousand migrants. We have to feed,
closed house, educate the children, watch their laundry sheets, give
(21:01):
them everything they need, healthcare. And this team here we stated,
let's do everything possible before we have to push it
out into neighborhoods and communities. Month after month, I stood
up and I said, this is going to come to
a neighborhood near you. Well, we're here, we're here. We're
getting no support on this national crisis, and we're receiving
(21:28):
no support. And let me tell you something, New Yorker
is never in my life have I had a problem
that I did not see an ending.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Two.
Speaker 16 (21:39):
I don't see an ending to this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I don't see an.
Speaker 16 (21:42):
Ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City
destroy New York City.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
If you use this logic, then this issue will destroy
the United States of America. It would certainly destroy Texas
if we continue on this road we're on right now,
and he's begging for help, and I'm like, come down
to Texas. Do you think it's bad in New York City?
With one hundred and ten thousand, I'd say at this
point double it. Let's send twice as many bus loads
up to New York because then maybe he'll talk to
(22:12):
these other liberals and they'll realize, hey, we got to
secure the southern border.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Well, he complains, He says, we're getting no help and
no support with a national crisis. Well, no kidding, Eric,
what do you think we're getting zero support? And I
love that he starts with a madman down in Texas?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
All right, newslash.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The border crisis was not caused by Governor Greg Abbott.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know who.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
The border crisis was caused by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi. You know, if Eric Adams doesn't
like this border crisis, he had to pick up the
phone and call someone who lives in Manhattan. His name
is Charles Schumer. And Chuck Schumer has defended Joe Biden's
open borders every single day for the last two and
(23:00):
a half years. He's blocked every effort to secure the border.
He's blocked every effort to build the wall. He's blocked
every effort to deport illegal immigrants. He's blocked every effort
to reinstate the remain in Mexico policy. He's blocked every
effort to pass Kate's Law, which I introduced to lock
up and have mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals who
(23:22):
repeatedly re enter this country. Eric Adams's party created this problem,
and they didn't just create it in the past. They
are creating it today, and they intend to create it tomorrow,
and they tend to create it, going on and on
and on and on. He says, one hundred and ten
thousand people are destroying New York City. New York City
has eight million people in it. One hundred and ten
(23:42):
thousand is enough to destroy it. Guess what, Eric, how
do you think McCallan, Texas feels? How do you think
del Rio feels? How do you think Brownsville feels? How
do you think Laredo feels? How do you think El
Paso feels all of those are infinitely smaller cities than
New York City, and they're getting swamped by much larger
flows of immigrants. And by the way, the clowns in
(24:04):
Eric Adams's parties, here's their response. Uh oh, new York
Mayor's mad at us. We don't want one hundred and
ten thousand to come to New York. Let's put them
all in Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Let's put them all around Texas, right, keep them all
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Keep him there well.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And he also, if he wants to be mad at somebody,
he should be mad himself from twenty twenty one, because
this is what he said in twenty twenty one about
illegal immigrants coming to New York City.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Take a look when you think about it, the days
I spent without essential employees, a substantial number of them
were undocumented. They were delivering our Uber eats, they were
stocking our stores, they were out in the streets keeping
our city running. We have to expand NYC Care to
(24:46):
make sure everyone has healthcare. We need to make sure
we have proper translation services in our schools.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He wants to expand everything.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
If Mayor Adams heard that, fool, think how Maddie would
be at that guy because that guy just invited all
the illegal immigrants to New York City.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
The hypocrisy on this is massive.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, and it's not just a hypocrisy there, it's also
the elitist in New York City.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You've done the view on Navarrow.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I had to deal with her for seven years when
I was fighting her at CNN. I feel like I
still deserve a medal for that. But she's on the view.
She's now angry, just like the people in Martha's Vineyard
who declared the state emergency when they got what was it,
fifty illegal immigrants and got rid of them in like
twelve hours, but clapped as they were kicking them out
of there.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Martha's Vineyard.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
She's on TV losing her mind this week because she
can't imagine this idea of having to deal with illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Keep them all down there in Texas take a look.
Speaker 15 (25:41):
But Frankly, you know, I think we need to find
and we've dealt with this before. I lived in Miami.
I was a migrant, an immigrant in Miami in the eighties.
You'll remember when we had the Mario boat lift. Yeah,
one hundred and twenty five thousand Cubans came in a
matter of six months. It puts tremendous stress on a city,
(26:01):
on a community, on the social services. They need to
be resettled elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Need to be resettled elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Like I'm compassionate as long as it's not on my block,
or in my city, or now by my five star
Michelin restaurant that I love to go to.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
So this needs to be the bumper sticker for every
liberal in America. They need to be resettled elsewhere, Not
in my backyard, not in my bedroom, not in my
living room. I don't want to see them. But send
them to where those dirty, dirty deplorables live. Send them
to Red States, send them to fly over country. You
people aren't compassionate enough. I don't want them here, is
(26:39):
what she's saying. But let's send them to help educate
the ignorant Americans. The contempt from the left for the
people of America as astonished.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's also the hypocrisy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I do laugh about her because she actually owns her family,
like her husband.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They own a hotel.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I wonder if how many illegal immigrants they've opened up
their hotel to, not even their house, just their hotel,
like you.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Ask that question.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Let's not get crazy on that. No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You can't expect liberals actually to do anything. But but
I will say, all right, this next clip from the
view really does capture it because I well just play it.
Speaker 14 (27:19):
And I booked this country with its big you know,
statue of liberty.
Speaker 15 (27:23):
Give me your your week and and all of this
is supposed to be the country that accepts people. Yes,
and I'm disappointed in Mayor Adams.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Of course she is. Now mind you, has she taken
anyone in? No, no, of course not.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Adams did say, hey, you might want to open
your home's illegal immigants.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
To excuse me when when you've when you've got a
penthouse overlooking Park Avenue, you might let someone in to
scrub the floors briefly, but you better get out before
the party starts. The utter hypocrisy, no interest in actually
understanding what's going on. And by the way, the statute limit. Look,
I'm the son of Anima. We are a nation of immigrants.
(28:02):
There's a right way to come. You come legally. That's
how you come to the United States. But don't bother
liberals to say that she says, we need to be compassionate.
By we, she means you, yeah, not her, you, and
it is it is utter crap. Look, it was two
(28:22):
years ago that I introduced legislation in the Senate, and
it was legislation that said, we need to change the
ports of entry where we send illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard,
to Nantucket, to Palo Alto, California, to the Hamptons, to
Block Island, to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where Joe Biden vacations,
(28:45):
to every place that wealthy liberals sit and sip their chardonnay.
And remember when I introduced that legislation that the county
executive at Martha's Vineyard blasted me. Yeah, and he said
Cruiz does not understand illegal immigration. Really, skippy, is that
the case? He said, he doesn't understand, he doesn't know
(29:08):
what's going on. And he says we and Martha's Vineyard
would welcome illegal immigrants for twelve hours and Martha's Vineyard
And then several months later, Ron DeSantis actually took him
up on that and sent fifty five zero. Let's recall
the numbers. There are between twenty and thirty thousand people
who live in Martha's vineyard, fifty illegal immigrants landing in
(29:30):
a community of twenty to thirty thousand people. He immediately
declared an emergency. He called in the National Guard, and
he deported them within twenty four hours. That's what liberals do.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Brought in more National Guard members than the actual number
of illegals. It was like almost a two to one ratio,
Like for every one illegal, we'll bring in two guys
in military fatigues to deal with you.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And by the way, it's not just Eric Adams.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It's the governor of New York, it's the governor Massachusetts.
It's the mayor of Washington, d C. It's the mayor Chicago,
it's the mayor of San Francisco. They're all discovering, Oh wait,
these policies that my party advocates, my party fight for,
my party implements, are really crappy policies that are hurting everybody.
(30:13):
And it's like, oh, rebe really yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh Fox News, one of the guys over there at
Bill mcgow and put this tweet out, which I thought
was pretty interesting, said, from an awareness perspective, Texas bussing
migrants and sanctuary cities has been incredibly effective.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
That's why I might double it. Like it's working. That's
the best money you can ever spend. Double it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
DeSantis in Florida, double it. Any other state double its.
Fill the buses up, and keep doing it because it's
clearly working. None of these cities expressed concern about the
border prior now question mark. New York City mayor says
city will be quote unquote destroyed, Chicago begging now for
federal help in May activating their National Guard, and LA
is now threatened to sue Governor Abbott.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I mean it's working.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
By the way, why isn't LA threatening to sue Joe Biden.
Joe Biden's the one who's refusing to follow the law.
Joe Biden's the one who's created the border crisis, and.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It's an amazing thing. Actually, put the next tweet up here.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
This is a response, by the way, this tweet, which
is pretty interesting, and if the friends is in Texas,
has only buses forty thousand people in total, So just
forty thousand out of all that have come across. Two
million people have been released from the border and traveling
in the US interior. Only two percent took Abbott's busses. Questioned,
where are the other one point nine six million people?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Well, and that actually understates it, because you also have
at least one point four million got aways. All of
them are there as well, so that that takes you
up to three point five million. You also have the
people who escape that we don't know that are not
categorized as god aways because not all, not everyone who
gets in illegally is categorized as one or the others.
(31:52):
So you're looking at four or five six million people.
And what are the Democrats doing? They're freaking out of
about forty thousand on buses. Yeah, the truth of the matter. Listen,
Joe Biden has been flying people into New York every week.
Does Eric Adams not know Chuck Schumer's phone number? I
(32:14):
can give it to him. Well, and at Mayor Adams, write,
Mayor Adams, I'm gonna make it offer to you if
you would like, I will give you Chuck Schumer's personal
cell number, because apparently you don't know how to contact
your fellow New Yorker.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
You're gonna have jagger right down the street.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Let each other, your fellow new Yorker could take up
and schedule a vote this week to solve this problem,
and so if you don't know how to contact him,
let me help you.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Latest numbers are in just to put in perspective, data
shows one hundred and eighty three thousand and five hundred
and three illegal immigrants were encountered attempting to cross the
US Mexico border.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
In July alone.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That's a twenty seven percent increase in the crossings from
last month. So month over month, up twenty seven percent. Quote,
more than seven point two million illegal emmergrants have crossed
the southern border since Biden took office.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
As the newest numbers from July.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
This includes the nearly five point eight million illegal immigrants
that the Customs and Border Protection as you mentioned, have encountered,
and the more than one point four million got aways
that have escaped pass border patrol the US so far
this year. A reminder, the Biden administration was secretly flying
illegals from the border into New York since at least
the summer of twenty twenty one. They don't mention that, do.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
They No, No, they don't at all, and they don't
mention who can fix it. Greg Abbott doesn't have the
ability to stop Joe Biden's open borders. Only Joe Biden,
Kamala Harris and the people running the executive or for
that matter, Chuck Schumer Congress could act. But every single
Democrat Senator supports these open borders, every single Democrat congressman
(33:50):
supports these open borders, and we a proof of it
because if they didn't, they would act to stop it,
and they don't. Instead they just blame a madman down
in tech.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
As always, thank you for listening to Verdict with Sentner,
Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you don't forget to deal
with my podcast and you can listen to my podcasts
every other day you're not listening to Verdict or each
day when you listen to Verdict. Afterwards, I'd love to
have you as a listener to again the Ben Ferguson
podcasts and we will see you back here on Monday morning.
Welcome.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
It is a verdict with Ted Cruz Weekend Review. Ben
Ferguson with you, and these are the big stories that
you may have missed that we talked about this week.
We're going to deal with this Number One witnesses in
the Hunter Biden case. Who are they going to be
and who's going to be called to testify before Congress
if there is an impeachment hearing moving forward? And how
(00:23):
important could these witnesses be and how damning could they
be to the President of the United States of America,
Joe Biden.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
We're going to talk about that. Number Two. The White
House has.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Also moved the goalposts for a third time when it
comes to the President and what he is admitting to
now with business dealings with Hunter Biden. You may recall
that the Presidence at over and over again he never
spoke about business with his son, He never spoke about
business with any of the Biden family members. That's a lie.
They then said, well, he was never in business with
(00:55):
his son. Now they've changed it again. I'll tell you
what that third excuse is in just a moment. And finally,
Mayor Mike Adams in New York City and other liberal
mayors are having serious regrets about being a welcoming, loving
kind city for illegal immigrants, being a sanctuary city. Now
(01:16):
they're demanding change, but they're refusing to tell the president
to shut down the border. It is the weekend review
with Ted Cruz and it starts right now, Sinata. I
want to ask you also in impeachment, real quick about witnesses.
Are there people that can now be called that may
have to answer for their involvement, Whether it's those the DOJ,
(01:38):
whether it's Hunter Biden, whether it's other Biden family members.
Walk us through how an impeachment works when it comes
to witnesses.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Well.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Merrick Garland is expected to testify before the House Judiciary
Committee in the coming days, and he will certainly face
significant questions about the allegations that he personally lied under
oath and committed a felony.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Now, I assume he'll dodge all.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Of them in defiant life and arrogantly refuse to engage
in the substance. I also assume he will get questions
about the allegations of obstruction of justice, and I expect
Merrick Garland to not be remotely forthcoming. I think at
some point you will see David Weiss called before Congress
to testify. David Weiss has been directly implicated in the
(02:21):
obstruction of justice, which is I believe why Merrick Garland
named him the quote special counsel, because Garland and the
Biden DOJ knew they could count on Weiss to protect
the big guy, and that's their most important objective. We've
talked about how Schwerin, who was the kind of money
guy and fixer for Biden, is a very likely witness
and could be a very damning witness, and I would
(02:42):
anticipate seeing him come and then we may well. I
assume Hunter Biden, if he's called to testify, will Stonewall
at this point the legal.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
What does that look like when you say Stonewall, is
it a tactic or are you saying he just won't
answer questions?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Assumption is will plead the fifth?
Speaker 2 (03:01):
Okay, So he just come in and say I plead
the fifth and that's the end of it.
Speaker 4 (03:04):
I assume that's the case, given the multiple felonies and
the fact that he even Dad's white House seems to
be running away from him. I would be shocked if
Hunter Biden said anything else other than on the advice
of counsel, I plead the fifth. I will say one
other thing, which is this Biden impeachment is demonstrating the
(03:29):
utter and complete hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats. Let me read
what Chuck Schumer said this week, right after the House
announced it's impeachment. Schumer said, quote, I think the impeachment
inquiry is absurd. The American people want us to do
something that will make their lives better, not go off
on these chases witch hunts. So Schumer is literally using
(03:56):
Trump's language about witch hunts and just repeating word for
word what the defense was. Now, look, I think the
Biden impeachments of Trump were witch hunts. Ironically, this is not.
This is serious evidence that Congress would be derelict if
it didn't investigate. Here, by the way, is a quote
from from Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Quote.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
This is what banana dictatorships do is arrest political opponents
without any evidence. Now that's screamingly funny. Yeah, given that
the Democrats have arrested their political opponent.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Like a banana republic.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
But part of the.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Reasons Democrats can be such total hypocrites is they know
the corporate media will never call them out on it.
That the corporate media will nod and say yes, yes,
Banana Republic. Terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, No direct evidence, no
direct evidence. And if you take nothing else from this
podcast today, remember every time they say the words no
direct evidence, they're lying.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
One other thing about this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
And this is where people say, Okay, we have this thing,
it happens.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Let's say it is a big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Let's say there are some some some you know minds
that the Democrats step on, the White House steps on.
We still don't have the votes and the Senate to
do anything about it. Right, That's what they're gonna That's
what people that are cynical and frustrated are gonna say
about this. So how should we be looking at this impeachment?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Is this? Should? Should? Should? Should?
Speaker 2 (05:29):
People that are listening look at it from a standpoint of, Hey,
we're getting the truth out there in a very big
way about Joe Biden before he's running for reelection, and
that can be extremely powerful and and in other words,
judgment day may be election day. Or should we look
at it and be frustrated cynical because like, well, even
if we nail this thing in the House. It ain't
gonna pass the Senate. So he's not going to be
impeached and lose his job over this. What mindset? What
(05:52):
hat should listeners put on?
Speaker 4 (05:54):
So a little bit of both listen, The cynicism is
not misplaced. Senate Democrats and House Democrats do not care
what evidence there is of Joe Biden being corruptive, is
soliciting and receiving bribes from falling fourig oligarchs. They don't care.
Partisan politics trumps everything. To use my hypothetical, if the
dead guy had scrawled in blood Ferguson did it with
(06:18):
Joe Biden. Yeah, and Joe Biden walked out covered in
his blood, Democrats would be like nothing to see here.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Remind people what the makeup of the Senate right now.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
The makeup of the Senate is fifty one Democrats, forty
nine republic.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
All right, we've heard about some of you maybe becoming independent.
We've heard, you know, wishy washy things about Joe Manchin,
for example. Is there any scenario where the evidence could
be so damning on the House side that you could
you could flip two different people's people in the Senate, It.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Wouldn't matter if you flip two because you need two thirds,
you need sixty seven.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
There you go.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
And right now we have zero.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Right now we have zero Democrats who, to the best
of my knowledge, I'm not aware of a single Democrat
who's even asked a skeptic question who has even said, well,
you know, if Biden did, in fact solicit and receive
bribes from foreign nationals, that would be a problem. No
Democrat has even said that. And you contrast this to
Richard Nixon. Listen, the reason Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace
(07:15):
his Republicans turned on him. They turned on him when
the evidence got over him. And I don't believe Democrats
would ever, ever, ever turn on Biden because partisanship matters
more than anything.
Speaker 3 (07:27):
But be that as it may, that does not.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Mean that impeachment is a waste of time, because it
is the only way to put these facts before the
American people. In a sane and normal world, the Department
of Justice would investigate and prosecute him. We'd get a
special counsel who was independent, who was consistent with the
DOJ rules, was not an employee of DJ, and actually
(07:51):
would investigate in conveni grand jury and potentially prosecute these crimes.
The Biden DOJ won't do that because it's the most
part of a political DJ we've ever seen. But putting
these facts before the American people is valuable, nonetheless. But
to be clear, a critical part of that is what
we're doing right now on Verdict, which which is the
(08:12):
million people who listen to Verdict. All of y'all now
have the information. When you go and you're talking to
your brother in law, you're talking to your coworker, you're
talking to your classmate, and they say, well, you know
there's no direct evidence, because that's the talking point they've heard.
You now know how to refute that, and that is powerful.
(08:34):
That has a multiplier effect, and it's how I believe,
ultimately you force accountability.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
I said on my podcast today, I always worry because
you've noticed this in the polls. Biden poll numbers right
now are not good, and the media seems to be
telling more of the truth about how bad the poll
numbers are. And the majority of Americans now say they
do believe that Joe Biden was corrupt in some manner
with his son in the business dealings. That that's significant.
(09:01):
CNN even came out PBS on Sunday. They even had
one of their commentators that said, I underestimated Joe Biden's
involvement with Hunter Biden, the Biden family businesses. Is there
a concern that if the Republicans play this too strong
and don't take their time to ly at the evidence
of this could backfire in the same way. And again
(09:22):
I'm asking from a political standpoint that every time the
Democrats indict Donald Trump, what happens. Republicans stand behind Donald Trump,
even Moore, They they send him money, they support him,
His poll numbers go up. Is there a concern that
if Republicans don't nail this the right way, that this
actually galvanizes people that maybe your wishy washy on Biden
(09:44):
and then it actually helps him stand up better than
he is right now.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, look, that is conceivable. And there's no doubt that
the multiple indictments against Trump have added a lot of points,
at least ten points to his numbers in the primary
because Republicans have understandably gotten pissed off that it's obviously
a political persecution. So that counsels that the Republicans, the
Republicans in the House, need to proceed carefully They need
(10:07):
to be facts based, they need to be evidence based.
They need to not have it appear political. Now, in
today's world, there will be people who naturally assume it's political.
But that is certainly a vulnerability to be aware of.
Another vulnerability is at some point the Democrats and or
the media might decide that Joe Biden is too wounded
(10:29):
and jettison him and try to parachute someone else in
I think that remains a very real risk. We're going
to talk about that a lot more on the podcast,
but not on this one.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
If you want to hear the rest of this conversation,
you can go back and listen to the full podcast
from earlier this week. Now onto story number two, Sata,
I also want to ask you about this. The White
House had a very interesting response, and this is the
third change now in the goalpost for Joe Biden's met
(11:00):
with Hunter Biden's businesses. The first was they never spoke
about business. Ever, then they change it to he was
never in business with his son. That was the goal
post moving yet again. Now the White Houses Ian Sam's
came out and moved the goal posts again when he
said this.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
The other allegations is the president was present at some
of the meetings between Hunter Biden and his business associates.
Why was the president at those meetings on those phone calls.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
Well, again, I think this is part of the right
wing's misinformation machine to try to confuse people about what
the truth is. The truth is that the President, as
he has said publicly for years, calls his family every
day to check in. He calls his son every day
to check in. He calls his other family members to
check in to see how they're doing.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
He loves them.
Speaker 6 (11:50):
They're a tight knit family. And what the GOP's own
witness testified in this case is that that's exactly what
the President was doing. He was checking in with Hunter
during a particularly hard time. I might add a time
where the family was going through Hunter's brother Bo's illness,
and of course the President checks in with his son
and talks to them. But again that witness testified no
(12:12):
business dealings of Hunter Biden's or anyone's was discussed in
these conversations. And so again they're trying to make this
sort of strange connection when their own investigation has disproven
these claims.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Before I let you go in, this is the president
response in terms of how the President has reacted to this,
especially as somebody who's been in politics and been at
Washington for as long as he has been, the idea
that he is now subject to an impeachment inquiry as
president of the United States. What's his response to that.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
You know, the President has been in politics for a
long time, and I think, as he would say, he's
seen a lot of malarkey along the way, but this
might take the cake. You know, he's focused on the
issues that actually matter to the American people. You just
saw him spending the last week traveling around the world
shoring up our alliance as advancing national interests in Asia,
our economic interests in Asia, showing American leadership on the
(13:02):
world stage. He's coming back here. He's announcing today a
quarter billion dollar investment in cancer research try to finally
cure cancer. That's what his administration and this president is
focused on every day. They're focused on the actual needs
of the American people. And I think what he would
say is maybe the House Republicans should join him.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
There's the pardon there where he says that Joe Biden
attended Hunter's business meetings because he loves him. That's the
new goalpost that they just moved significantly from they never
talked about business to then well they never work together.
Now it's well, he just went to the business meetings
because he loves him.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Really, that's the new excuse.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Well, look, I mean, what good and loving and devoted
father hasn't called in twenty times to his son's meeting
with corrupt oligarchs who are paying millions of dollars in
exchange for favors from that father while he's sitting and
serving as the vice president of the United States. That's
(14:00):
really just what any good dad would do. I mean it,
it really is. It's cynical because they point out that
that that Joe's other son tragically died of cancer, so
they want to wrap it in in the sympathy of
of of of a human tragedy to say, well, of course,
you know, listen, why was Hunter getting paid the millions
(14:25):
of dollars? I didn't hear him say a word about that.
There's no value Hunter provides. What was the value Hunter brought?
You know, Ben, you're a talented guy, You're a charming guy.
Are there any foreign ola garks calling you up saying, Ben,
I want to wire millions of dollars.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
To you zero. That's not all you know.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
They don't do that to anybody. They only do it
if you were providing value. And what all of these
talking heads, what all of these democrats hacks are saying,
what all of the corporate media puppets are refusing to answer,
is is what did Hunter get in exchange for the
(15:10):
tens of millions of dollars? And according to the House
it could be north of twenty thirty million dollars. We're
talking massive amounts of money, and by the way, not
money from you know, normal American companies, not money from
our friends and allies. It wasn't money from France, it
wasn't money from Italy. It wasn't money from the United Kingdom.
(15:32):
It wasn't money from Japan. It was money from China, Russia, Ukraine.
They singled out nations with very significant antagonism and hostility
to America and some of the most corrupt nations on earth.
(15:55):
And there is no innocent explanation. By the way, you
don't hear any of these democrats explaining why did Joe
Biden have multiple book burner phones, why did he have
fake emails? Why did he use fake emails? To send
emails to his son Hunter about Ukraine on government email
while Hunter was getting paid millions of dollars. All of
(16:17):
that the Democrats want you to ignore and say, well, gosh,
Joe's just a loving dad, and that's what loving dads do.
They help their their sons make thirty million dollars from
corrupt oligarchs who are enemies of America.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
I want to get back to this montage center that
was one that went viral, and I hope you will
give this to your friends share it on social media,
because it's another example of how many lives have been
told by the Bidens and how much the media has
been willing to cover for them. And this is what
this impeachment inquiry is going to be all about.
Speaker 7 (16:49):
Ever discussed with my son's one mind brother or anyone
else in the heaven.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
With their businesses, President Biden met with at least fourteen
of Hunter's business associates while he was vice president.
Speaker 8 (17:02):
And Vice President, Joe Biden had dinner with his son
Hunter along with Hunters of business associates from Ukraine, Russia,
and Kazakhstan, and the day after the dinner, a Barisma
executive sent a note to Hunter.
Speaker 9 (17:14):
Quoting dear Hunter, thank you for inviting.
Speaker 8 (17:16):
Me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your
father and spend some time together.
Speaker 10 (17:22):
Hunter's lucrative business dealings often included giving as much as
fifty percent of his earnings to his dad.
Speaker 11 (17:28):
The text read quote, I hope you all can do
what I did and pay for everything for this entire
family for thirty years. It's really hard, but don't worry
onlike Pop, I won't make you give me half your salary.
Speaker 10 (17:40):
His son Hunter joining the then Vice president on the
official visit to Beijing. Unknown to the press, back then,
Hunter Biden was forming a Chinese private equity fund, planning
to raise money, including from Chinese investors. Ten days after
the Bidens trip, Shanghai authorities issued the fund's business license.
Speaker 12 (17:57):
And the Hunter introduced me as a This is Tony, Dad,
the individual I told you about that's helping us with
the business that we're working on in the.
Speaker 13 (18:05):
Chinese The email reads this way quote at the moment,
there's a provisional agreement that the equity will be distributed
as followed ten held by Hunter for the big.
Speaker 12 (18:15):
Guy, I one thousand percent set here and know that
the big guy is referencing Joe Biden I met with
a former vice president of person multiple times.
Speaker 14 (18:24):
A newly revealed text message, jos Babolinski was apparently warned
by business partner James Gillier, don't mention Joe being involved.
It's only when you are faced with face. I know
you know that, but they are paranoid.
Speaker 9 (18:36):
Chinese executives admitted to reporters that they were actually introduced
to the Vice presidents by Hunter by.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Hunter and the then Vice President, saying for a pair
of Mexican billionaires.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
At the same time, Hunter had been working on energy
deals in Mexico.
Speaker 11 (18:50):
Joe Biden also had Hunt at his business partnt Fly
once two to Mexico.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
His closest business partner.
Speaker 15 (18:57):
Hunters made at least nineteen visits to the White House
and other official locations, including a sit down with then
Vice President Joe Biden in the West Wing.
Speaker 13 (19:05):
There's photographic evidence of Biden on a golf out and
with both his son Hunter and a man called Devin Archer,
who was another member of the Parice Maboor.
Speaker 9 (19:13):
We also know that Devin Archer in that picture had
a meeting in the White House one on one meeting
with Joe Biden about a week before they joined the
Parice Mabour.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
You hear that, Senator, and this explains exactly why this
impeachment inquiry is going to be so important.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Well, it does.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
It also explains why the Democrat talking point and the
corporate media talking point that there is no evidence of
Joe Biden's corruption. It is flatly false. And I got
to say James Carvill saying he's really looking forward to
hearings on this.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Well, you know what, James so am.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
I as before.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
If you want to hear the rest of this conversation
on this topic, you can go back and now the
podcast from earlier this week to hear the entire thing.
I want to get back to the big story number
three of the week.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
You may have missed.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
There was a moment this last week which I didn't
actually laugh at first. My response was to laugh at
Mayor Adams in New York City basically declaring a state
of emergency, saying we can't handle this, We're totally overrun.
And I wanted to laugh, but I'm also like, yeah,
welcome to the world of what we deal with every hour,
not every day, not every week, like you guys are
freaking out over the number of illegals come across the
(20:26):
border in Texas. As you described it, we're talking about
hundreds of thousands per month. This is every hour for us.
And yet he had this like dire warning to New
York City.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Take a look.
Speaker 16 (20:36):
We turned this city around in twenty months. And then
what happened started with a madman down in Texas decided
he wanted to bust people up to New York City.
One hundred and ten thousand migrants. We have to feed,
closed house, educate the children, watch their laundry sheets, give
(21:01):
them everything they need, healthcare. And this team here we stated,
let's do everything possible before we have to push it
out into neighborhoods and communities. Month after month, I stood
up and I said, this is going to come to
a neighborhood near you. Well, we're here, we're here. We're
getting no support on this national crisis, and we're receiving
(21:28):
no support. And let me tell you something, New Yorker
is never in my life have I had a problem
that I did not see an ending.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Two.
Speaker 16 (21:39):
I don't see an ending to this.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
I don't see an.
Speaker 16 (21:42):
Ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City
destroy New York City.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
If you use this logic, then this issue will destroy
the United States of America. It would certainly destroy Texas
if we continue on this road we're on right now,
and he's begging for help, and I'm like, come down
to Texas. Do you think it's bad in New York City?
With one hundred and ten thousand, I'd say at this
point double it. Let's send twice as many bus loads
up to New York because then maybe he'll talk to
(22:12):
these other liberals and they'll realize, hey, we got to
secure the southern border.
Speaker 4 (22:15):
Well, he complains, He says, we're getting no help and
no support with a national crisis. Well, no kidding, Eric,
what do you think we're getting zero support? And I
love that he starts with a madman down in Texas?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
All right, newslash.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
The border crisis was not caused by Governor Greg Abbott.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know who.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
The border crisis was caused by Joe Biden, Kamala Harris,
Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi. You know, if Eric Adams doesn't
like this border crisis, he had to pick up the
phone and call someone who lives in Manhattan. His name
is Charles Schumer. And Chuck Schumer has defended Joe Biden's
open borders every single day for the last two and
(23:00):
a half years. He's blocked every effort to secure the border.
He's blocked every effort to build the wall. He's blocked
every effort to deport illegal immigrants. He's blocked every effort
to reinstate the remain in Mexico policy. He's blocked every
effort to pass Kate's Law, which I introduced to lock
up and have mandatory minimum sentences for violent criminals who
(23:22):
repeatedly re enter this country. Eric Adams's party created this problem,
and they didn't just create it in the past. They
are creating it today, and they intend to create it tomorrow,
and they tend to create it, going on and on
and on and on. He says, one hundred and ten
thousand people are destroying New York City. New York City
has eight million people in it. One hundred and ten
(23:42):
thousand is enough to destroy it. Guess what, Eric, how
do you think McCallan, Texas feels? How do you think
del Rio feels? How do you think Brownsville feels? How
do you think Laredo feels? How do you think El
Paso feels all of those are infinitely smaller cities than
New York City, and they're getting swamped by much larger
flows of immigrants. And by the way, the clowns in
(24:04):
Eric Adams's parties, here's their response. Uh oh, new York
Mayor's mad at us. We don't want one hundred and
ten thousand to come to New York. Let's put them
all in Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Let's put them all around Texas, right, keep them all
in Texas.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Keep him there well.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
And he also, if he wants to be mad at somebody,
he should be mad himself from twenty twenty one, because
this is what he said in twenty twenty one about
illegal immigrants coming to New York City.
Speaker 7 (24:26):
Take a look when you think about it, the days
I spent without essential employees, a substantial number of them
were undocumented. They were delivering our Uber eats, they were
stocking our stores, they were out in the streets keeping
our city running. We have to expand NYC Care to
(24:46):
make sure everyone has healthcare. We need to make sure
we have proper translation services in our schools.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
He wants to expand everything.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
If Mayor Adams heard that, fool, think how Maddie would
be at that guy because that guy just invited all
the illegal immigrants to New York City.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
The hypocrisy on this is massive.
Speaker 2 (25:08):
Well, and it's not just a hypocrisy there, it's also
the elitist in New York City.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
You've done the view on Navarrow.
Speaker 2 (25:15):
I had to deal with her for seven years when
I was fighting her at CNN. I feel like I
still deserve a medal for that. But she's on the view.
She's now angry, just like the people in Martha's Vineyard
who declared the state emergency when they got what was it,
fifty illegal immigrants and got rid of them in like
twelve hours, but clapped as they were kicking them out
of there.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Martha's Vineyard.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
She's on TV losing her mind this week because she
can't imagine this idea of having to deal with illegal immigrants.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Keep them all down there in Texas take a look.
Speaker 15 (25:41):
But Frankly, you know, I think we need to find
and we've dealt with this before. I lived in Miami.
I was a migrant, an immigrant in Miami in the eighties.
You'll remember when we had the Mario boat lift. Yeah,
one hundred and twenty five thousand Cubans came in a
matter of six months. It puts tremendous stress on a city,
(26:01):
on a community, on the social services. They need to
be resettled elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Need to be resettled elsewhere.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Like I'm compassionate as long as it's not on my block,
or in my city, or now by my five star
Michelin restaurant that I love to go to.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
So this needs to be the bumper sticker for every
liberal in America. They need to be resettled elsewhere, Not
in my backyard, not in my bedroom, not in my
living room. I don't want to see them. But send
them to where those dirty, dirty deplorables live. Send them
to Red States, send them to fly over country. You
people aren't compassionate enough. I don't want them here, is
(26:39):
what she's saying. But let's send them to help educate
the ignorant Americans. The contempt from the left for the
people of America as astonished.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
It's also the hypocrisy.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
I do laugh about her because she actually owns her family,
like her husband.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
They own a hotel.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I wonder if how many illegal immigrants they've opened up
their hotel to, not even their house, just their hotel,
like you.
Speaker 1 (27:06):
Ask that question.
Speaker 3 (27:07):
Let's not get crazy on that. No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You can't expect liberals actually to do anything. But but
I will say, all right, this next clip from the
view really does capture it because I well just play it.
Speaker 14 (27:19):
And I booked this country with its big you know,
statue of liberty.
Speaker 15 (27:23):
Give me your your week and and all of this
is supposed to be the country that accepts people. Yes,
and I'm disappointed in Mayor Adams.
Speaker 3 (27:31):
Of course she is. Now mind you, has she taken
anyone in? No, no, of course not.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
And Adams did say, hey, you might want to open
your home's illegal immigants.
Speaker 4 (27:40):
To excuse me when when you've when you've got a
penthouse overlooking Park Avenue, you might let someone in to
scrub the floors briefly, but you better get out before
the party starts. The utter hypocrisy, no interest in actually
understanding what's going on. And by the way, the statute limit. Look,
I'm the son of Anima. We are a nation of immigrants.
(28:02):
There's a right way to come. You come legally. That's
how you come to the United States. But don't bother
liberals to say that she says, we need to be compassionate.
By we, she means you, yeah, not her, you, and
it is it is utter crap. Look, it was two
(28:22):
years ago that I introduced legislation in the Senate, and
it was legislation that said, we need to change the
ports of entry where we send illegal immigrants to Martha's Vineyard,
to Nantucket, to Palo Alto, California, to the Hamptons, to
Block Island, to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where Joe Biden vacations,
(28:45):
to every place that wealthy liberals sit and sip their chardonnay.
And remember when I introduced that legislation that the county
executive at Martha's Vineyard blasted me. Yeah, and he said
Cruiz does not understand illegal immigration. Really, skippy, is that
the case? He said, he doesn't understand, he doesn't know
(29:08):
what's going on. And he says we and Martha's Vineyard
would welcome illegal immigrants for twelve hours and Martha's Vineyard
And then several months later, Ron DeSantis actually took him
up on that and sent fifty five zero. Let's recall
the numbers. There are between twenty and thirty thousand people
who live in Martha's vineyard, fifty illegal immigrants landing in
(29:30):
a community of twenty to thirty thousand people. He immediately
declared an emergency. He called in the National Guard, and
he deported them within twenty four hours. That's what liberals do.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Brought in more National Guard members than the actual number
of illegals. It was like almost a two to one ratio,
Like for every one illegal, we'll bring in two guys
in military fatigues to deal with you.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And by the way, it's not just Eric Adams.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
It's the governor of New York, it's the governor Massachusetts.
It's the mayor of Washington, d C. It's the mayor Chicago,
it's the mayor of San Francisco. They're all discovering, Oh wait,
these policies that my party advocates, my party fight for,
my party implements, are really crappy policies that are hurting everybody.
(30:13):
And it's like, oh, rebe really yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Oh Fox News, one of the guys over there at
Bill mcgow and put this tweet out, which I thought
was pretty interesting, said, from an awareness perspective, Texas bussing
migrants and sanctuary cities has been incredibly effective.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
That's why I might double it. Like it's working. That's
the best money you can ever spend. Double it.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
DeSantis in Florida, double it. Any other state double its.
Fill the buses up, and keep doing it because it's
clearly working. None of these cities expressed concern about the
border prior now question mark. New York City mayor says
city will be quote unquote destroyed, Chicago begging now for
federal help in May activating their National Guard, and LA
is now threatened to sue Governor Abbott.
Speaker 1 (30:51):
I mean it's working.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
By the way, why isn't LA threatening to sue Joe Biden.
Joe Biden's the one who's refusing to follow the law.
Joe Biden's the one who's created the border crisis, and.
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It's an amazing thing. Actually, put the next tweet up here.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
This is a response, by the way, this tweet, which
is pretty interesting, and if the friends is in Texas,
has only buses forty thousand people in total, So just
forty thousand out of all that have come across. Two
million people have been released from the border and traveling
in the US interior. Only two percent took Abbott's busses. Questioned,
where are the other one point nine six million people?
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Well, and that actually understates it, because you also have
at least one point four million got aways. All of
them are there as well, so that that takes you
up to three point five million. You also have the
people who escape that we don't know that are not
categorized as god aways because not all, not everyone who
gets in illegally is categorized as one or the others.
(31:52):
So you're looking at four or five six million people.
And what are the Democrats doing? They're freaking out of
about forty thousand on buses. Yeah, the truth of the matter. Listen,
Joe Biden has been flying people into New York every week.
Does Eric Adams not know Chuck Schumer's phone number? I
(32:14):
can give it to him. Well, and at Mayor Adams, write,
Mayor Adams, I'm gonna make it offer to you if
you would like, I will give you Chuck Schumer's personal
cell number, because apparently you don't know how to contact
your fellow New Yorker.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
You're gonna have jagger right down the street.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Let each other, your fellow new Yorker could take up
and schedule a vote this week to solve this problem,
and so if you don't know how to contact him,
let me help you.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Latest numbers are in just to put in perspective, data
shows one hundred and eighty three thousand and five hundred
and three illegal immigrants were encountered attempting to cross the
US Mexico border.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
In July alone.
Speaker 2 (32:50):
That's a twenty seven percent increase in the crossings from
last month. So month over month, up twenty seven percent. Quote,
more than seven point two million illegal emmergrants have crossed
the southern border since Biden took office.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
As the newest numbers from July.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
This includes the nearly five point eight million illegal immigrants
that the Customs and Border Protection as you mentioned, have encountered,
and the more than one point four million got aways
that have escaped pass border patrol the US so far
this year. A reminder, the Biden administration was secretly flying
illegals from the border into New York since at least
the summer of twenty twenty one. They don't mention that, do.
Speaker 4 (33:26):
They No, No, they don't at all, and they don't
mention who can fix it. Greg Abbott doesn't have the
ability to stop Joe Biden's open borders. Only Joe Biden,
Kamala Harris and the people running the executive or for
that matter, Chuck Schumer Congress could act. But every single
Democrat Senator supports these open borders, every single Democrat congressman
(33:50):
supports these open borders, and we a proof of it
because if they didn't, they would act to stop it,
and they don't. Instead they just blame a madman down
in tech.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
