Welcome.
It is a special Sunday edition of Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz Ben Ferguson with you, and I want to let you know Monday's podcast is going to be very important.
After Israel was attacked by Iran.
I also want to remind you of what Senator Cruz and I predict it was going to happen when Democrats and the Biden administration abandon Israel and said no to giving them funding and what they needed. When it came to arms, Democrats voting against this, which is truly shocking.
That is part one. The other part about this that we were.
Going to cover on Monday, and it's going to be very important, is the fact that there were warnings from Senator Cruz and others, you cannot give money to the number one state sponsored terrorism in the world, Iran, and that is exactly what Obama did, and it's exactly what Joe Biden has done. We freed up billions of dollars, billions of dollars that we allowed Iran to get their hands on. We also talked about the Iranian oil embargo.
We've allowed Iran to get around those embargoes, to skirt those embargoes, which is the part that is also extremely shocking with everything that we're talking about today. So I'm going to go back and I'm going to play for you a podcast that we did that talked exactly about Schumer and the Democrats blocking emergency funding for Israel. This was the moment where Iran knew that they could attack Israel.
They realized that the president was weak and that the President would not respond, and that the President was criticizing Israel instead of criticizing Iran and Hamas and Hezbolah. This again is an important pod that we did, and I remind you you do not want to miss tomorrow Monday Mornings as well. We will have all of the senator's reaction to what just happened with Iran attacking Israel, not
through their proxies, directly attacking them. We'll have all of that for you coming up up on Monday Mornings.
Pod.
Until then, take a listen to this podcast we did about Chuck shim Er the Democrats blocking emergency funding to Israel, which was the moment.
That I ran new that could get away with us.
I want to talk about this vote that happened where every single Senate Democrat just voted to block aid to Israel on a day when two hundred thousand plus came to the steps of the capital to support Israel.
This was shocking that every one of them said no.
Well, that's exactly right. Today was a Momenta stay and look. I spent this afternoon down at the mall with the March for Israel, and we had hundreds of thousands of people from all over America descend on Washington and stand together for Israel, and it was inspirational. I spent a lot of time down there just hugging people and encouraging them and taking pictures and saying thank you and the
spirit of unity. I mean, we've seen over the last month, the nastiness we've seen, the vicious anti Semitism we've seen, the hatred for Israel we've seen has been really horrifying. And the March for Israel was spectacular to be a part of. And then after that I came back to Capitol Hill and a group of us, a group of Senators decided, Okay, enough is enough. We are going to force a vote on military aid to Israel right now.
So as you know what happened. The House of Representatives took up and passed a clean Israel aid bill fourteen billion dollars in emergency military aid for Israel. The Biden White House wants to tie that military aid to Ukraine and also more broadly, to their efforts to increase illegal immigration.
They call it, in a very Orwellian term, border security funding, but it's designed not to secure the border at all, instead to increase illegal immigration, to accelerate the time for processing, to spend more money to putting illegal immigrants on trains and planes and buses to send them to every city in America. And so the Biden White House is cynically trying to tie is relaid to all of that. The House of Representatives did the right thing, something we've called
for on this podcast. Break Israel funding off and vote for it free and clear. Now, when the House did that, they decided to be fiscally responsible. They decided to pay for it. I think that's the right thing to do.
And so the way they paid for the fourteen billion dollars is rescinding funding that the Democrats had previously passed into law to hire eighty seven thousand new IRS agents designed to harass small businesses middle class families to be used as an army to go after the enemies of this administration.
So now you mentioned the vote and the numbers here, there's some people that are going to be looking at these numbers. It's very, very tight this vote. It was obviously a party line vote. How on earth is it that not a single Democrat would come over and stand with Israel on this or was this just a hey, we as a democratic party, we always vote together even if.
It screws Israel.
I mean, this is one of the most tone, tone death votes I've ever witnessed, while there's literally two hundred thousand plus people on the mall standing with Israel in a nonpartisan way.
Look, this vote was a demonstration of what I describe at great length in my brand new book Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America. By the way, if you haven't bought it, gone to Amazon right now and buy the book. Because this vote today was a manifestation of that today's Democrats they don't give a damn about substance. They care about power, and because the corrupt corporate media will not report on what they say, they are not
accountable for what they do. So here's what happens This is one of the moments where this podcast is unusual because I want to bring you inside the procedural maneuvering in the Senate in a way that frankly, there's no other news source that provides that. So I came back from the march for Israel about four pm on the Capitol and I got a text as I was driving back to the Capital from Roger Marshall, Roger Marshall, Republican
from Kansas, good friend. He said, a bunch of us are meeting to try to force a vote on Israel funding right now. So I deviated. I was going to go to my office. I deviated to go to the
Senate floor. I was there with other Conservatives, people like Mike Lee, who is my closest friend in the Senate, a number of others, and we were strategizing about how we can force a vote, and in particular, there's a procedural method called filing a rogue cloture petition, and what that means is any sixteen senators can file a cloture petition, which is a petition to force a vote on something and can basically hijack the Senate floor from the Senate
Majority leader and it is a procedural mechanism that is very, very rarely used because both Schumer and McConnell hate it. So McConnell had repeatedly urged us do not use this mechanism because the majority leader should be able to control the entire agenda and it's a mistake to let the minority hijack the agenda. Well, look, I understand that procedural point. It's not crazy as a day to day operation of the Senate.
But here.
The House had passed emergency military aid for Israel and Chuck Schumer had announced we will not vote on it. He would block the Senate from voting on it. It was literally Schumer was single handedly preventing a vote on emergence see military aid for Israel. And it's because he wants Number one, he's not willing to give up the funding for the army of eighty seven thousand new IRS agents. He values harassing the political enemies of the White House
more than military aid for Israel. And number two, he wants to tie it to all the political priorities of Democrats and hold that military aid hostage.
Let me ask you this question about this funding, because this is a fight that we did not see everybody jumped on the S bandwagon. When it came to military aid for Ukraine, Democrats had no problem jumping on that as well, And you didn't have to figure out a way to try to bring this vote up. Do what is the logic when you're talking to Democrats, your colleagues
and the Senate. How can they be so hell bent and gung ho on unlimited funding for Ukraine but no on something as simple as defending our actual ally Israel.
So Democrats number one one recognized that all the Republicans strongly support military aid for Israel. So they see that cynically as a political opportunity. Good, this is something where Republicans want, Republicans want, let's hold it hostage. But number two, listen, Democrats are worried about their left flank. They're getting blasted by the anti Israel, anti Zionist, radical, anti Semitic left
the squad, and so they're all nervous. And so what ended up happening is why Schumer didn't want to vote. He didn't want to force Democrats to vote on it, and he felt like he had exquisite power. Now Schumer screwed up the majority leader can prevent what we did today. The way the majority leader prevents what we did today is he files a pending motion to proceed to something, and under the Senate procedural rules, that pending motion to proceed to some bill blocks another motion to proceed to
a bill. And so that's something when Senate Republicans had a majority, Mitch McConnell did every day. He did that to block the Democrats from doing what we did. Schumer was lazy, he didn't do that. So the floor was wide open. And so what happened is a group of us, we had eleven Senate Republicans, we met off the floor of the Senate. You needed eleven to force a voice vote, and so we gathered there on the side of the Senate and we're talking about, Okay, we're going to force this,
and we're doing this surreptitiously. This is like four pm Tuesday afternoon. We then all went to the Senate cloak room and we were waiting and actually John Kennedy was giving an extended speech and we wanted Roger Marshall as the one who had the idea initially to go forward. So Mike Lee and I and others were backing Roger, and we needed to get the floor because the Senate Democrats were starting to get wind of what we were
trying to do. And at one point, Chuck Schumer's lead floor aid on the Senate, his sort of lead staffer. He came and stuck his head in the Republican cloak room and he looks around and he sees eleven of us sitting there and he kind of looks around and he doesn't quite say this out loud, but everything is in his express goes oh shit.
Like he knew this.
He had figured out what we were trying to do, and so we went Actually, Ran Paula was part of the group. Rand went down to John Kennedy was giving a speech in another matter, and Ran interrupted him. He's like, John Kennedy's on c SPAN giving a speech and Rand said, John, we really need you to stop right now. It's an emergency. Please stop. And John didn't even know what we were doing, but he's like, uh, okay, so he stops. Roger Marshall
goes down and he gets recognized. So getting recognized, once you're recognized, you have the floor, you have power. And so Roger goes down and he moves to proceed to the House bill. So the House bill is what they passed. It is fourteen billion dollars in emergency military funding for Israel, paid for by rescinding the IRS additional funding for eighty seven thousand agents. Once he did that, the Democrats are
in panic. They're like, oh, crappo, crapple, crapple, crap. And so Raphael Warnock, the Democrat from Georgia, he was down there now. Procedurally, once Roger moves to proceed to the bill, he has relinquished the floor. It's a jump ball at that point because to move to proceed to it, the presiding officer instructs the clerk to read the title of the bill. So Roger no longer has the floor.
Can I ask you a cynical question real quick? Yes, how many senators have no idea how this works? What you're describing right now?
I become ab out ninety Okay.
I was just That's the reason why this story is amazing to me, because I'm like, I bet you the majority of the senators that you serve with don't know this is the rules of the Senate and how this would work.
No, No, it's only a handful of senators that understand the rules. So Roger moves. When he makes the motion, he's relinquished the floor. And so what happened. Then, as soon as the clerk has read the title of the bill, Roger says, mister President, the presiding officer was Senator Welch from Vermont. He was there. Roger calls out mister president. But Raphael Warnock, liberal Democrat from Georgia, calls out mister
President as well. Now, the presiding officer, when you got momultiple people asking me recognized has the option to pick who to decide. And so because he's an Democrat, Welch recognizes Warnock. Warnock stands up and says, I suggest the absence of a quorum. Now what that means This is getting in the weeds. But this is one of the cool things about this podcast. It takes you inside the Senate. Under the Senate rules, when any senator suggests the absence
of a quorum, there is a mandatory quorum call. What it means is there are not enough senators on the floor right now to conduct business. It is a way to freeze the Senate, to lock it in paralysis. Because once you're in a quorum call, you can do nothing else. And so Warnock pushed us into a quorum call. At that point, we're there, and there are more than eleven of us that are there. We proceeded over the next hour periodically, one after the other. We'd grab the microphone.
We'd stand up and say, mister President, I ask unanimous consent to vitiate the quorum call. That's a way to say, end the quorum call. Let's vote on the stamp thing, and over and over you We did this like thirty times. Democrats would object. They'd say object, I object, I object. Now you can do that forever. You can keep They could keep us in a quorum call. But it meant they were stuck, and so we were brainstorming, Okay, how
can they avoid a vote. We went up to him and said, look, what we want is a roll call vote where every senator has to go on record do you support funding for Israel or do you oppose funding for Israel. After about two hours and I cannot overstate ben how upset Chuck Schumer was, how upset the Democrats were. We blindsided them. They did not expect this. This hit them out of nowhere. And then they finally said, screw it, We're going to force through the vote. So we voted,
and it was a straight party line vote. So understand, every single Democrat voted against emergency military funding for Israel. Chuck Schumer, who calls him the defender of Israel, that's what he calls himself, voted against emergency military funding for Israel. John Tester, who's running for reelection in Montana, voted against emergency funding for Israel. Shared Brown, who's running for reelection
in Ohio, voted against emergency funding for Israel. Bob Casey, who's running for reelection in Pennsylvania, voted against emergency funding for Israel. Jackie Rosen, who's running for reelection in Nevada, voted against emergency funding for Israel. Tammy Baldwin who's running for reelection in Wisconsin, voted against emergency funding for Israel. And the amazing thing has been it was a straight party line vote, which means every single one of those
Democrats I named was the deciding vote. Literally, if one Democrat had voted with us, this was a fifty vote threshold, so one Democrat could have pass this, but every Democrat voted no. And it was a moment of clarity, and I think a moment of clarity that will come down to the election next year where the Democrats have made clear that partisan politics matters more to them than standing with Israel.
Right now, Sena, you mentioned that any one Democrat could have moved the pendulum here and funded Israel. And if you don't have to name names per se, but are you shocked. I mean, there are some Democrats that I truly believe are quote friends of Israel. I am shocked at not one of them did the right thing here and truly stood with Israel. They just said no party over even Israel. And what is referred to is emergency funding, meaning they need it.
Now.
Look, this was I think a spectacularly foolish vote by Democrats. I mean, you had Kirsen Cinema was the deciding vote against emergency aid to Israel. Bob Menendez, who right now is in the midst of a very serious indictment and a serious scandal, but he's on the ballot November. He was the deciding vote against emergency aid to Israel. Dick Blumenthal, Ben Carden, all sorts of Democrats who hold themselves out
as defenders of Israel, every one of them. Literally one of them could say, you know what, we need emergency A to Israel now. And I don't care what my party leadership says. I'm not going to do it. But they decided they cracked the whip, and I'll tell you on the flip side. Listen, it was not easy to hold every Republican. So I was down on the Senate floor for about two and a half hours this afternoon and I was whipping Republicans and listen, Republican leadership was pissed.
I cannot overstate how angry they were. And the reason is it is our leadership said, listen, if you do this when Republicans have the majority, Democrats will use this tool to try to hijack the floor. And that's a reasonable procedural point.
I get that.
It's not crazy. That being said, I think the crisis in Israel is so dire, the position of the Democrats is so indefensible that it made sense to force and
so we did it. But when we're voting on it, there were a number of Republicans close to leadership who delayed their vote and delayed their vote and delay their vote, and I was talking to them personally and I was saying, please, please vote to do the right thing, because if we ended up with a vote where you had all the Democrats and two or three or five Republicans, it would totally blur the distinction. They could say there's a bipartisan
vote against this procedural game. That's what the Democrats would say. And so I was begging Republicans, please, this is something I get. You don't like the procedural mechanism that we forced this vote.
But we did.
Once we did, let's actually be united and be team players. And miraculously, look, it was close. And I was talking staffers, I was talking to members, I was lobbying, I was on the in the well of the Senate, working vote by vote by vote. We got every single Republican one hundred percent. That was a big deal because it means that each and every Democrat. There is not a Democrat in the Senate who was not the deciding vote on this motion. And that is a big deal for clarity.
And I want to underscore something Ben you asked a minute ago, why would Democrats do this? And part of me was shocked by the way. Joe Manchett is not running for reelection. He voted against military funding for Israel. He could have been the deciding vote, but he figured, I guess, screw it, I'm leaving the Senates. Who cares part of the reason Democrats do this while we're voting. I looked up in the Senate gallery. There were four
reporters up in the Senate Gallery. We'll see how many headlines are published about Senate Democrats block military funding for Israel, But my guess is very, very few. We went out and tried to talk to reporters. I didn't see the six o'clock news tonight, so I don't know this for a fact, but I'd be willing to bet you one hundred dollars right now. And I'm cheap. I don't bet one hundred dollars.
On many things, that's right.
I bet you one hundred dollars that none of the major networks covered that Senate Democrats tonight blocked funding for Israel. And this is why. Look, this is the point in my book Unwoke, which you ought to go online and buy right now. This is why I focus so much on the corrupt corporate media. Because the corrupt corporate media, they're not covering news. They are partisan advocates. They don't want aid to Israel to pass. They are cheering for Hamas.
Many of the corrupt corporate media are openly cheering for Hamas. And so Democrats can cast spectacularly foolish votes and know their constituents will never know about it. Dick Blumenthal, Democrat from Connecticut, he holds himself out as one of the leading defenders of Israel. Well, he is absolutely certain when he goes to Connecticut none of his voters will know that he was the deciding vote that blocked emergency military
aid to Israel. Why because the corrupt corporate media won't tell them.
You, Senator, have said this several times, and it's a very accurate statement. You say, if lawyers never asked a question of somebody, if they don't already know the answer, that rule applies, I think to taking things to the for the Senate.
For a vote.
Right, don't call a vote if you don't know what the outcome is gonna be. And yet this today seems to be one of those incredibly authentic moments. Was it inspired because of the two hundred thousand plus that came to Capitol Hill to stand with Israel? And that's where this kind of started where it was like, you know what, we got to do something today, and let's just see if we can get it done. And know we haven't called everybody beforehand, and this is an organic moment in the Senate.
Look for me, it certainly was. I can't speak to the other Republican senators, but I came literally from the march on Washington. I was down there hugging and supporting so many incredible heroes and Jewish Americans who came from all over the country to come to the mall to stand in solidarity. And I came back and I heard several of my colleagues were thinking of this, and I was like, absolutely, let's go to the floor right now, let's do it. And so I leaned in aggressively, and
I got to say it was striking. Number one, the absolute panic among Senate Democrats was striking, but sadly the panic among Senate Republican leadership. They didn't like that we did this either, but I think it provided an absolute moment of clarity. And let me be clear, what I hoped would happen is that we would vote to provide
the military aide Israel. By the way, if one Democrat, If even one if Bob Casey, if Jackie Rosen, if John Tester is Shared Brown, if even one Democrat had voted with us, this bill would have passed and we would have sent it to Joe Biden's desk tonight. So Joe Biden could have signed it this evening and sent fourteen billion dollars to Israel Tuesday night.
Wow.
I didn't know if that would happen. I actually wasn't sure they could hold their votes. And part of the reason they locked up the Florida quorum call for a couple hours is I assumed they were whipping their votes. They called the people that they thought were wobbly votes, they said, okay, Schumer wants you to vote to screw Israel. Are you okay with that? And I think every Democrat
said yep, good bye me, I'm good by that. And it just I got to say, if the shoe were on the other foot, if it were Republican leadership asking Republicans to cast a vote like that, I wouldn't do it, and a whole bunch of us wouldn't. And yet the Democrats. This is where I cannot overstate the impact of the corrupt corporate media. Part of the reason Republicans wouldn't do it is our voters will know if we cast a terrible vote.
Yeah, it costs several senators their job the next election.
The Democrats feel utterly and completely immune. They know that CNN has their back, they know that ABC, NBC, CBS, MSNBC. They won't cover it, they won't report on it, they'll ignore it, they'll bury it. And The New York Times they're not going to cover it because they don't want to cover it, because they're more interested in the left wing partisan agenda than they are and actually covering the news centa.
I want to move to another issue, and it deals with Israel, but it's in a different capacity, and that is the shock of anti Semitism on college campuses. MIT now is facing backlash for not expelling anti Israel protesters over their they what they refer to as visa issues. They said they are originally threatened to expel these pro Palace and in protesters, and then ow towards they're like, Okay,
we're gonna full we're gonna come back on this. We're going to pull back on this, uh and say never mind, because these people if we if we pull them from school, it will have visa issues. Regardless of how extreme these protesters were, this is shocking to see them coming back from this. Yet that's exactly what now has happened at MIT.
Your reaction, well, listen, what happened at MIT was absolutely disgraceful. MIT by any measure, is one of the finest educational institutions on the face of the planet. It may be the greatest scientific, technical uh university in the world. And what has happened in the last several days is that numerous Jewish students were forced to stay home from classes.
They could not attend classes. Why because anti Israel, anti Semitic protesters threatened them, physically threatened them, and the students said they felt that they felt unsafe. They that they felt like going to class would endanger their personal safety. Now that is insane and any normal university. If one student threatens another student, threatens their safety and prevents them from going to class, whoever makes that threat should be expelled.
If you are harassing Jewish students because you're an anti Semite bigot, you should be expelled. And by the way, to be clear, if someone was harassing Muslim students, and preventing Muslim students from going to class. They should be expelled. No student has a right to harass and threaten fellow students. Well, what happened in mit Is is this harassment occurred and Jewish students stayed home and the university administrators back to wagh and refuse to take the natural step of expelling them.
Why because these rabbit anti Semitisms were there. Semites were there on student visas and if they got expelled, they'd get sent back home. And the university said, well, okay, if if you were an American, we would punish you.
But because you're not an American, because you're a guest, because we've welcomed you to our country to get an education, you can conduct harassment and bigoting, bigoted, racist, threatened threatening of other students, and we will just turn to blind eye and give you a pat on the back.
It's CNN.
There truly seems to be a civil war inside of CNN right now, because if you watch the morning show, it's like all Hamas propaganda and anti Semitism. You watch their primetime lineup at night, it goes right back to that. There was a moment and I want to give credit here to Jake Tapper. Jake Tapper had on an MIT graduate student and let her tell her story to the world. And I want you to hear what she had to say. It was and I'm glad that he used his program
for good. You had the headline hate in America. MIT students speaks out about anti Semitism on campus.
Listen to this.
As a Jewish student at MIT, do you feel safe on campus? You know, honestly, Jake, in the past few weeks, I have not felt safe on campus.
Why not?
So, you know, ever since October seventh, we've seen at universities around the country that you know, the conflict that's overseas has come to our home term, and we've had a lot of rallies and events by an organization called the Coalition Against Apartheid, which is the anti Israel group on MIT's campus. And they, along with some local anti Israel groups, have come to campus because MIT is an open campus, which means that anybody can walk around and
you know, be on campus. So they together have done protests on campus on the steps of Lobby seven, which is the main entrance to MIT, and in front of the Student Center.
And I mean people protest, but but what do they do? What do they say that makes me feel unsafe?
So I guess part of it is the fact of what they're saying. So when you're saying things like abalize the end of Fada and use your two fists to sacrifice everything for Palestine and one solution and to fada, you know, we know what happened during the second ind of Fada was suicide bombings and attacks against Israeli civilians in Israel. But the other part of it is that these people aren't just protesting outside and exercising the rights for free speech, which I fully support as an American.
It's that they're going you know, they went to the personal offices of a program that runs Israel internships on MIT's campus, and they went to the offices of the people who worked for this program, and they tried to enter it. They were going from door to door trying to unlock the doors, and the people who worked in this office had no idea to what these students were trying to do by trying to get into their office.
They were yelling. They were accusing them of apartheid, of ethnic cleansing, of genocide, and it was a really frightening experience.
A really frightening experience.
You hear this student saying this, and yet this is happening to them, and as you described a moment ago, they said, if you keep doing this, we're going to expel you. Then they said, oh, never mind, just kid, you're just going to be in trouble, but you're not going to get expelled because we don't want you to lose your visa. That's in my Semitism and accepting this type of abuse by these individuals.
Well, that's right. And let me quote from Fox News had an article about this where they quoted conservative lawyer Mari Maria Medvin and she said, quote, MIT is one of the most prestigious universities in the US these days. Foreigners make up about thirty percent of the MIT student body. Jewish students, on the other hand, make up about six percent of the MIT student body, a campus minority. So
think about it right now now. I will admit it is somewhat concerning that thirty percent of the MI two student body are foreigners, but especially if these are foreigners that are vicious bigots, that are anti Semites, that are willing to threaten her, harass and threaten physical violence against their fellow students, their Jewish students, because they hate them
so much, they should be expelled. If you threaten physical violence against the fellow student, if you block them from going to class, that should be a no brainer reason for expulsion. And the administrators. Look, why did the administrators not expel them? And again this goes back to what I talk about in my new book Unwoke. This is cultural Marxism. The administrators, the cultural Marxist side with the people they have decided are the victims, the Palestinians, over
the people. They have decided that they are the pressers, the Jews. And so for the radical left, threats of violence against Jews are okay, it is acceptable. And so listen the fact that someone's on a student visa, they ought to behave better, not worse. It shouldn't be the case that Americans are held to stricter standards than foreigners coming to study in our universities. And yet MIT says, well, if we expelled you, you'd lose your student visa, So
we're not going to expel you. Please continue to harass and threaten and threaten physical violence to our students, because you know we the administrators don't give a damn about the Jewish students because in the cultural Marxist world they're the oppressors. So tech with them.
Yeah, to the heck with them, And I will say it's we better stand up for these students and the fact and hold these and I hope donors, I really do and the people that give to these universities are paying it.
Yes, yes, these universities are doing yes, yes, yes, absolutely right. It's one of the things that is freaking universities out is that donors are cut are cutting off the cash, and that is it's the one thing that's getting them attention. And listen, I want to actually quote from one of the best known poems. First, they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a
trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak out for me. Look, I think that applies to our universities right now. If there's anyone at a university, a student, a professor, an administrator who gives a damn about equal rights, about protection, about stopping anti Semitism,
about stopping bigotry, about stopping hate. Speak out now. If you're a donor and you write a check to these schools, speak out now and say not one penny more until you protect the students on our campus. You cannot give in to the violent Marxist radicals and expect us to continue to support these schools. This is a time for choosing right.
Now, Senator.
Lastly, I want to play for you, and just so people understand what's happening at MIT. This is just some of the student videos have gone viral online. They're chanting Infantada and the Jewish students are stuck inside, were physically prevented from attending class by this hostile group of pro Haamas and anti Israel MIT students that call themselves a CAAA. Then another student came out and showed another video of these massive protests, and this is what it sounded like, Senator.
They were doing this and they knew where many of the Jewish students were when they went to these buildings to protest, just to scare these Jewish students. I leave everybody with that audio. And I want to get your final words on this, because this is clearly organized, it's being funded by someone.
Senator.
The MIT is what they refer to as an open campus where outside groups can come in. This is orchestrated by these extremists, anti Israel groups. Somebody has to be paying for this, funding this, and then they are targeting where the Jewish students are in these schools. And it's not just MIT, this is happening on other college campuses.
So the Second Intifada in Israel was a series of suicide bombings carried out by Palestinian the Sale and it resulted, and it took place between nineteen eighty seven and nineteen ninety three, and it had a combined casualty casualty figure of roughly one thousand Israelis, three thousand Palestinians, and sixty four foreign nationals. And so when these radicals are cheering and chanting for another Intifada, they're calling for murdering more Jews, now,
mind you. On October seventh, we saw one thousand, two hundred Israelis civilians targeted by Hamas death squads and murdered because they are Israelis, and these protesters are chanting they want another intefada. In other words, you haven't murdered enough Jews. We want more Jews murdered. That's what they're chanting. And listen.
If you're a Jewish student at MIT or at another one of these elite universities where these radical leftists have taken over, it is understandable that you are afraid for your own safety. This is disgraceful and every university that allows this to happen is failing in their obligation to keep their students safe. No student, everyone has a right to free speech. No student has a right to threaten physical violence against other students to prevent students from going
to class. And that's what these radicals are doing at m I T and right now the mi T administration is complicit in this terrorizing of Jewish students.
It's disgraceful.
Senator, It's always a pleasure, especially on shows like this that I think are so important. I would ask all of you listening please help spread the word by sharing this podcast on your social media wherever you are right it's a five sor review.
It helps us on the charts reach new listeners.
When they put the charts out on Apple and other services, and most importantly, go out there and grab the Center's new book. It is an incredible read for the holidays.
Unwoke.
It is out right now, and there's so much that the Senator is talking about tonight that has really talked about in this book.
