Biden Admin Urges Israel to STOP Killing Terrorists, Dems Smear Justice Thomas & School Choice, the Civil Rights Issue of the 21st Century

Who are fighting to pull our country back.

calls for a quote humanitarian ceasefire. It is frustrating when you see this, because it's clear that Israel is having to defend itself from.

Israel in over fifty years. On October seventh, it was the single grit greatest mass murder of Jews in any single day since the Holocaust, and Hamas terrorists, the death squads went house to house, murdering every person in that house, seeking out civilians, murdering elderly people, murdering women, murdering children, violently raping women and little girls, dragging them into the streets, and murdering, beheading and burning alive infants. It has been sick,

it has been grotesque. Over fourteen hundred Israelis have been murdered. Over two hundred Israelis are held hostage right now. And not only was this one of the worst attacks on Israel in history, this is also one of the worst terrorist attacks on the United States in history. On that day, thirty one Americans were murdered. They're roughly a dozen Americans

that are held hostage right now. And I want to say, at the outset, it is critic that we should be unequivocal that America stands squarely with the state of Israel.

it up. It's they are actually advocating for the terrorist organization, for those supporting the terrorist organization, and we're witnessing it in the streets in America, We're witnessing it on college campuses.

about infants being murdered? And she refused to answer. And I will say it has been tragic to watch college campuses across this country as vicious anti Semitism has broken out. This week, I saw a video form Mi alma mater from Harvard of a Jewish student being harassed, being threatened, being surrounded by angry protesters screaming shame, shame, shame. Look. I called on Harvard any student doing that to another

student should be expelled immediately. But let me say something else, Ben, because unfortunately, it's not just the radicals in the house. It's not just the radicals on university campuses. The Biden administration from the very beginning of this war has systematically

undermined Israel. When the war began on October seventh, early in the morning, at three in the morning, the State Department, the Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted out they said, we condemned the attack of Amas, but we urge both sides to engage in no retaliation, no military acts. Violence solves nothing. This is literally as Israel is having terrorists murder that

night upwards of a thousand Israelis. The US State Department said, Israel, don't respond at all, do nothing, do not strike back at the terrorists. Now, my staff and I we spotted that tweet at three in the morning, and we condemned it loudly. I said, look, everyone involved in drafting this tweet, everyone involved in approving it, should be fired. The State Department within hours deleted the tweet. The next day, Tony Blink and the Secretary of State set out another tweet.

He said he had just talked with the Turkish Foreign Minister and they had agreed that it was imperative to have a cease fire. Understand that the words cease fire listen. Hamas does not intend to have a ceasefire until they murder every Jew they can find. That's when they intend to stop. Prime Minister net Yaho has rightly said that they are going to utterly eliminate Hamas. And every time you hear a Democrat or the media saying the words cease fire, what they are saying is protect Hamas. And

stop Israel for Retalia. Right now, the US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln is in Israel, and he went there to argue for what he called a quote humanitarian pause. Now that's just fancy Orwellian speak for a ceasefire. What he's saying is Israel, please don't kill the terrorist. He's also arguing, Israel, please give fuel to the terrorists. So in the Gaza Strip, many of the Hamas terrorists are in tunnels that they have dug underground. Those tunnels are ventilated,

they are powered by fuel generators. And so Israel has said, we're cutting off your fuel. What is the Biden State Department saying, send fuel in there. The reason Israel's cutting off the fuel is to get the terrorists out of the tunnels so they can kill the terrorists who are targeting and murdering civilians. And I got to say, and

this is something. So in the last three weeks this podcast, we've done a deep dive on what's happening in Israel, examining the atrocities that were carried out, but also examining the complicity of the Biden administration. It is funding this attack. It has flowed over one hundred billion dollars to Iran, who planned and directed this attack. But not only that, on this podcast, we've explained how the corporate media is

an integral part of Hamasa's war plan. We had a podcast episode that was entitled CNN is Hamasa's air force, So is MSNBC, so is ABC. It's scary attack, It's terrified. Yeah, And we went through a dozen different clips, including we played one on this podcast.

They videoed themselves and put the videos out for the world. They're proud of it. But not only that, the Israelis go to extraordinary lengths, more than any military on the face of the planet, to avoid civilian deaths. Now, tragically, we know there will be Palestinians civilian deaths, but the reason for that is Hamas deliberately using human shields. They want Palestinian civilians to die. So, for example, they put

their military headquarters in the basement of a hospital. They put missiles in kindergarten classrooms because when the Israelis take out military targets, they want there to be dead Palestinians because they then know Hamas knows they're not strong enough to defeat Israel. But their plan is for the useful idiots in the global media to take those images and demonize Israel, which is why it is so important to speak out and speak the truth.

And part of this is the left's clear vision to change or all to the Supreme Court and how the American people look at it, how they view it. It undermining the Supreme Court, undermining directly justices, influencing justice.

unleashed the whirlwind and you will pay the price. We saw, we saw the leak of the Supreme Court Dobbs decision. We then also have seen week after week, month after month, angry, violent protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices. Now it's a federal crime to protest at the home of a federal judge trying to influence the outcome of an election.

was apprehended. He's being proper acuted for attempted murder. But every night and he should be. But every night the people who are committing criminal offenses in front of the justices houses trying to intimidate them. The Biden Department of Justice Merrick Garland refuses to follow federal law. So the latest iteration in the Democrats' efforts to undermine the Supreme Court is they have been targeting a smear campaign directed at Clarence Thomas. Now I know Justice Thomas very well.

I believe Justice Clarence Thomas is an American hero. He's an extraordinary man. He's a brilliant man. Actually, I want to take a digression.

clerks is a guy named Rick Guarded. He's a professor of law Notre Dame, and Rick and his wife had had tutored a young African American kid in Arkansas, the year before. His name was Carlos. He was a seventh grader. And Rick and Nicole said, okay, we want to fly Carlos to Washington, d C. He'd never left Arkansas, I had never seen it, and they said, we want to bring him there. And so Carlos came. And Rick sent an email to all nine Supreme Court Justices and he said, Hey,

this kid my wife and I tutored is coming. Would you be willing to meet with him? Two said yes, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Clarence Thomas now Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It was very nice of her to meet with him, and they had a conversation, but look, it was a little stilted. She was very prim She was very proper. She was like a librarian. And for a kid who grew up in rural Arkansas, it was difficult to understand and really connect with Sirs Ginsburg, but it was very

gracious of her to say yes. The other who said yes was Clarence Thomas now Clarence Thomas grew up in Pinpoint, Georgia. Pinpoint is a tiny rural town in Georgia. He grew up in abject poverty and he sat there talking with Carlos. He spent over an hour with his seventh grade kid talking with him. At the end of the discussion, Carlos the Supreme Court didn't mean a whole lot to him. But Justice Thomas had a picture of himself with Troy Acoman.

He's a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, and that impressed Carlos, like, wow, that's a big deal.

cameras there. That's who Justice Thomas is. Here's the second story. So my college roommate and best friend other than Heidi, it's a guy you know, well, David Panton. Oh yeah, he is Jamaican. He is an extraordinary guy. And he was president of the Harvard Law Review. So the first black president of the Harvard Law Review was a guy named Barack Obama. I'm not sure what he went on to do after that.

Thomas wanted David to come clerk for it. And and David, David is is in private equity, he's gone into business, and and and David says that. David says, no, no, no, no, I leave. He's Jamaican. So there's this lilting Jamaican accident. He goes, no, no, no, I leave law to the smart people. And Justice Thomas leans forward and says so do I, And it was just I'm sitting there like, Holy cow, how am I sitting there watching this extraordinary exchange?

in World War Two. An intelligence report is written that describes in the sinking of p T one O nine, incredible heroism from a young sailor by the name of John Fitzgerald Kennedy. And this intelligence report described Kennedy as an incredible hero. Fast forward twenty years and JFK's president, JFK appointed one and only one person to the Supreme Court. Do you know who that was? I don't Byron White. Do you know who wrote the intelligence report?

used to play play hoops with the law clerks. And so at the Supreme Court there's a basketball court, and and the basketball court it's at the top and and so the floor of the court is the ceiling of the courtroom. So they don't let you during an argument because you can literally hear the dribbling through the ceiling.

So he didn't play anymore. And sadly Justice Thomas didn't play anymore when I was there either, because Ginny wouldn't let him because he hurd his knee playing.

serving on the Court. Lewis Powell, who served with him, was a colonel in World War Two, and Powell used to say, you know, I outrank you, and the Chief Justice would say, oh, not anymore. But Renquist was spectacularly brilliant. So he had a purely photographic memory at a level I've never seen anyone else. So here's an amazing story. So Renquist graduated from Stanford Law School. He was first in his class at Stanford. In the same class was

Sanderday O'Connor. She was third in her class at Stanford. I've always wondered what happened to the poor schlaboo second. Yeah, So renquists and O'Connor dated. They dated in law school and they actually he asked her to marry him.

her dad on the ranch. And she said that day dad just happened to be castrating calves.

Let's talk about this week in DC because it's important what's going on and explain what the plan is for the Democrats and what they're trying to accomplish.

Court justices for thirty years. The purpose of this subpoena is there is a concerted smear campaign directed at Justice Thomas. And so you've seen the stories about Justice Thomas flew on a private plane. Justice Thomas was the guest at the vacation home of a billionaire, and so he must be corrupt. Now, I'm going to tell you two things

about that smear campaign. Number One, it is utterly and completely hypocritical in that if you look at the numbers from two thousand and four to twenty eighteen, the Justice is disclosed, how many trips do you think they took the nine justices? No idea one, three hundred and six.

the praise. Justice Bryer took more reimbursed trips two hundred and nineteen than any other member from two thousand and four to twenty eighteen. And the attack that's directed Clarence Thomas. Look, if you want to argue Supreme Court justices shouldn't be able to fly on trips or on private planes, fine. If you want to talk about rules that apply to everyone,

that's fine, that's a reasonable conversation. What's not reasonable is to say, we're going to attack Clarence Thomas for doing the same thing the other eight justices are doing, and we're going to hypocritically apply rules to him that don't apply to anyone else. Now, let me tell you something on top of that, which is this smear campaign is funded by and is driven by, in particular Pro Publica. That has been the organizations that's putting out all of

these attack pieces. Now, who is Pro Publica funded by. I'm going to quote from the Daily Caller quote nonprofit news outlet Pro Publica, which published multiple stories detailing Supreme Court Justice Clarence thomas alleged ethics violations, has many of the same donors as multiple groups actively campaigning for Thomas

to be investigated or resigned. The Sandler Foundation, which launched Pro Publica in two thousand and seven and is the News outlet's largest donor, has given it almost forty million dollars since twenty ten for general support. The Sandler Foundation is also given over seven point five million dollars to the Campaign Legal Center since twenty fifteen and over six million dollars to the America Constitutional Society for general support

since twenty ten. Those are all rabid left wing organizations. So understand, this smear campaign is driven by left wing billionaires, and it is funded to delegitimize the Supreme Court. And in particular, the left hates Clarence Thomas, and they hate him with an intensity that is different from any other conservative justice. Look. I knew Anton and Scalia very well. He was brilliant, He was an extraordinary justice. He was

every bit as conservative as Clarence Thomas. And yet the left did not keep contempt on Anton and Scalia the way they do Justice Thomas. The left's view is for a black man to dare to be conservative is an unacceptable crime, is something that has to be punished. The left refers to They do magazine covers with pictures of Clarence Thomas as an uncle Tom sitting at the feet of antonin Scalia. It is bigoted, it's racist, it's a lie, it's im moral, and this viciousness directed at Clarence Thomas.

These subpoenas we're going to vote on this week in the Judiciary Committee. The Democrats are going to have the votes to issue them from Judiciary. But the good news is they don't have legal force unless they get sixty votes on the floor of the Senate, and the chances of that happening.

Do you believe in this next election cycle that Conservatives can win on the issue of school choice and how would they best do that nationwide?

If you were a student at the Bethesda Public Schools in Maryland, Bethesa's, this very wealthy suburb of Washington, d c. If that school had a fifty percent dropout rate, if among the students that remained there fewer than half of them graduated reading at grade level, If drug dealers were walking in the hallways, if little girls were getting sexually assaulted in the bathrooms, the Bethesda Public schools would be empty immediately. Because the parents, they are rich, so they

would do one of two things. They would either write checks and pay tuition at a private school, or they would move to another neighborhood that had a better public school, and they would exercise choice through choosing where to live. That's what the rich have always been able to do. That's what the upper middle class have always been able

to do. It is low income Americans. It is single moms and inner cities who are trapped with failing schools and those numbers I've described are true in school, after school, after school in this country, and it predominantly hurts low income kids, It hurts African American kids, it hurts Hispanic kids, and the Democrat Party is bought and paid for by

the teachers' unions. If you look at African American communities or Hispanic communities, systematically, sixty seventy as much as eighty percent of African American parents, as much as sixty seventy eighty percent of Hispanic parents support school choice. I believe every child in America deserves a right to have access to an excellent education, regardless of their race, of their ethnicity,

of their wealth, of their zip cost. So to say, we are sitting in actually an extraordinary place because I want to say to the men and women here, thank you for your leadership. Arizona has led the nation in providing choice to your students. It has been extraordinary, It has been inspirational, it has been powerful, and the Goldwater Institute has been pivotal in making that happen. And if you look nationally, the two states at the front of

this fight have been Arizona and Florida. And I will say something you and I are both Texans, and look Texans. We are known for being quiet and for our humility. Look ause Texans. I hate that there is anything Texans are not leading on, but when it comes to school choice, Texans have been lagging behind. And I can tell you there's a major battle playing out in the Texas legislature right now. We have the single best moment we have ever had in our lifetimes to pass real and meaningful

school choice in Texas. The Governor Greg Abbott has said he's going to keep pat calling special sessions until they pass it. And I'll tell you something that I do in Texas that is unusual. Ben So, virtually every US Senator stays out of state primaries in their own state. And the reason is getting involved in a primary in your own state is just stupid. It hurts you that

if you make an endorsement in your own primary. In a primary in your state, the rule of thumb is you get half of their friends and you get all of their enemies. I don't do that. I regularly endorse in primaries, to the best of my knowledge. I don't know another US Senator that does. To the best of my knowledge, ninety nine of my colleagues do not. And

I endorse in lots of primaries in Texas. And here's how I have my staff prepare an Excel spreadsheet of every vote that a state legislator has cast on school choice. And my rule is, if you voted in favor of school choice, and you're otherwise relatively conservative, you're quite likely to get my support. If you've voted against choice, the chances of getting my support are essentially zero. And it is very likely that I will indorse your primary opponent.

And when I do that, I don't do it. Jet I come in and I cut radio and TV ads and I come in.

that's on the fence, do I support it? Do I not? I want them to say, you know, I really don't want crews to screw around in my primary. So maybe I'll just do the right thing and I'll tell you something. And it's something than why I'm so inspired by the men and women in this room. When I was first elected to the Senate in twenty twelve, here's what I

told Heidi. I said, sweetheart, if when I die, if my tombstone says Ted played a meaningful role in bringing about school choice to every child in Texas and every child in America, I will die a very very happy man.

I am very bullish on bitcoin. I'm personally an investor in bitcoin. I have a standing by order. I buy bitcoin every Monday on an automatic by order. That's just my meager resources, that's what that's part of our investment. I think bitcoin is an extraordinary number one hedge against inflation, but number two. Look, I love bitcoin for the same reason that collectivists and statists hate it, which is that

it cannot be controlled. Communist China has banned bitcoin. China hates bitcoin for the same reason Elizabeth Warren and hates bitcoin because they cannot control it. The left wants to control your finances, and they want to monitor every monetary exchange you have. Including the original version of the so called Build Back Better Bill, which I called Build Back Broke, required your bank to report to the federal government every single transaction you made in excess of four hundred dollars.

That meant every mortgage payment, that meant every car payment with inflation, that damn near man, every time you filled up your gas tank. I think it is insane. The federal government has no business monitoring the financial transactions of a free people. I will tell you also, I am a big proponent Texas is becoming an oasis for bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining. That people are coming to Texas to be free. It is a benefit to have low cost, abundant energy, and if that's one thing Texas has, we

have a lot of it. I will say I'm glad J. Powell says that I have asked him in my office about a central bank digital currency. What he said in my office sounded pretty good. Now, it worries me sometimes that when J. Powell is talking to Democrats what he says doesn't sound pretty good. And so I remain worried the Fed will try to do this on their own. But I can tell you if they do, I will lead the fight against it. And I don't think the federal government should ever get in that business.

Thursday night of last week. I went to the midnight muster with the Border Patrol agents, where I said to all of the agents, thank you, thank you, thank you for your heroism for defending this nation, even when you have political nincom poops who are undermining you every single day. I then went out on midnight patrol with the border Patrol, which I've done many, many times. Every time you go out on midnight patrol, within minutes you encounter groups of

illegal aliens. Karine Jean Pierre said at a White House briefing, people are not just walking across our southern border. It's not happening. Now, there's a technical term for what she just did there. That is called a lie. It is not a point of view, it is not spin, it is not advocacy. It is a brazen, flat out lie. And I responded, actually on this podcast, I said, Kareem

John Pierre, come with me to the southern border. Let's go out and in one hour, I promise you, we will encounter illegal aliens, because over eight million have crossed since Joe Biden became president. Now, let me tell you something. One of the last times I was there, a reporter asked me, said, well, aren't the policies of Democrats much more compassionate and humane on immigration than you mean, old

Republicans who want to secure the border. And I just started laughing, and I said, you know who doesn't believe that anymore? The Democrats. I said, where's Joe Biden, Where's Kamala Harris? Where is a single Democrat senator? None of them come to the border. And there's a reason for that, because you cannot see what is happening. You cannot see the dead bodies. Last year, eight hundred and fifty three

migrants died crossing illegally into this country. Texas farmers and ranchers find dead bodies on their property every single day. They do the same thing here in Arizona. You cannot see the children who have been brutalized by human traffickers. You can't see the women who've been sexually assaulted. You can't see the more than one hundred thousand drug overdoses last year, seventy percent of which came from Chinese Fetanah. You can't see that and argue this is humane or compassionate.

It is a disaster. And we're seeing blue state governors and mayors, people like Mayor Erica Adams in New York City declaring an emergency and saying illegal immigration is destroying New York City. New York City has nine million people. They've had roughly one hundred and ten thousand illegal immigrants. Adams blames that madman down in Texas, by which I think he means Governor Greg Abbott. Frankly, I was offended. He didn't mean me, Like, what do I have to do.

they could stop it tomorrow. So I cannot promise you that I'm going to change their view, but I can promise you I will continue doing everything humanly possible to tell the American people the nightmare, the national security disaster that they are creating. The San Diego Customs of Border Patrol last week put out a written memo directing border patrol to be on guard for Hamas and Hesbala terrorists crossing our southern border.

Free speech matters. You know what Citizens United was about. So if you look at the case, Citizens United is a nonprofit organization that made a movie that was critical of Hillary Clinton, and the Obama administration wanted to go after and find and punish this nonprofit organization for daring to make a movie that was critical of a politician.

And it went all the way to the US Supreme Court, and actually at the US Supreme Court there's an exchange where Justice Alito asked the Obama Justice Department, under your theory that the government can punish a movie maker for making a movie critical of a politician, could the federal government also ban books? Would you have the authority to

ban books you didn't like that criticized politicians? And the Obama Justice Department said yes, yes, that's exactly what we're arguing for the Supreme Court and Citizens United quite rightly upheld the First Amendment and said Americans have a right to speak and to speak about politics, and the government can't criminalize you and me speaking about politics. Now, I've

been in the set at eleven years. I've spent the last eleven years, I've spent all of my adult life fighting to defend the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. My time in the Senate in particular, I've been passionate defending a free speech. In the wake of Citizens United, the Democrats introduced a constitutional amendment to repeal the free speech protections of the First Amendment. Now you probably don't

know that because the news didn't cover it. The first version of the constitutional amendment they introduced is an amendment that would give Congress plenary power, which means blanket power, total authority to regulate any expenditure of money that involves politics.

That means if a little old lady goes to home depot and buys a poster board and a stick and puts up aside on her front yard, that says, Joe Biden is a dumbass, that the federal government could make it a felony and lock her up and put her in jail. That also means, by the way, the federal government could lock up Simon and Schuster, could lock up a movie producer, could lock up anyone who engages in

speech the federal government didn't like. It also means, by the way, they could lock up any union organizer who spends even a dollar trying to organize people at a union. I led the fight against it. At the time, I was the ranking member on the Constitution's subcommittee, the Senate Judiciary Committee. You can go online and watch. I debated al Franken when he was a Senator before he resigned in disgrace. Really a sad day for me, I asked

al Franken. I said, I've got three simple questions. Should the federal government be able to ban books, yes or no? Should the federal government be able to ban movies, yes or no? And should the federal government be able to criminalize the NAACP. Because after the Democrats retreated from their first version of the amendment, they shifted to another version. They said, well, this is only true for corporations. Well, you know what, Paramount Pictures is a corporation under their amendment.

You could ban movies. Simon and Schuster's a corporation under their amendment. You could ban books, and the NAACP is a corporation. Under their amendment, they could criminalize membership in the NAACP. We were in the Senate, I introduced a substitute amendment to replace every word of their amendment with word for word the First Amendment to the Bill of Rights of the Constitution. Every single Democrat voted. Now we went to the Senate floor. I led the debate on

the Senate floor. I had a poster board behind me. So they had tried to do this previously, and there had been lions of the left who spoke out against it, Ted Kennedy. Ted Kennedy said, when Democrats tried to do this in a previous decade, we haven't amended the Bill of Rights in two hundred years, and now is no time to start. I had a picture of Ted Kennedy behind me in that quote. My dad, whom I adore, who was an exile from Cuban, came to America seeking freedom.

My dad called me terrified. He's like, my god, you've got Ted Kennedy behind you. It's like, what has happened to my son? He's gone native. In the past, there had been Democrats that believed in free speech. We voted on it in twenty fourteen. Do you know how many Democrats voted against repealing the free speech protections of the First Amendment?

leading advocates. He said no. They invited Chuck Schumer, one of the leading advocates. He said no. No Democrat was willing to show up. So I went to Philadelphia, an audience about seven hundred people, and I basically debated myself. Yeah, I presented their arguments, and I'm very pleased to say I kicked their ass.
