Bombshell Report: How Big Tech Silences Conservatives, plus Biden Family Getting Huge $$ from Hamas-Sheltering Qatar

Speaker A

I'd like to take a moment and have a real heart to heart with you if you're able right now. Place your hand over your heart. Can you feel it? That's your heartbeat telling you that you're alive. It's the same for a preborn baby.

Their heart begins to form at conception, and at just three weeks, it's already beating. At five weeks, a baby's heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound. And that's why we've partnered with Preborn, because we need to help these precious babies. Every day, Preborn's network of clinics rescue 200 babies from abortion. When a mother with an unplanned pregnancy meets her baby on ultrasound and hears their heartbeat, it's a divine encounter that doubles a baby's chances at life.

And by six weeks, the eyes are forming. By ten weeks, a baby is able to suck his or her own thumb. And for just $28, you could be the difference between life or death of a child. All gifts are tax deductible, and I want you to donate. All you have to do is just.

Dial pound 250 and say the keyword baby. That's pound 250. Keyword, baby. You can also donate securely@preborn.com. Verdict.

That's preborn.com verdict. Or 250 and say the key word baby. Hey, everyone, it's Ted from consumer cellular, the guy in the orange sweater. And this is your wake up call. If you're paying too much for wireless service, you don't have to keep having that nightmare.

Speaker B

It is verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as well. And senator, you've got a big investigation that is looking into big tech specifically and how they are silencing and de platforming conservatives, and it's something the media really isn't covering. Well, that's exactly right. In the Senate Commerce Committee, I launched an investigation in terms of into how big tech is abusing its power. And we just released a report explaining how big tech is using monopoly power over basic infrastructure online to de platform conservatives, to target conservatives, and to shut them down.

Senator Ted Cruz

I'm going to explain all about what they're doing and how they're trying to silence you. We're also going to talk about a big story that broke this week that the corporate media is utterly ignoring, which is testimony that occurred in a federal bankruptcy proceeding, that Joe Biden's brother, Jim Biden, was in business with Qatar and was making vast sums of money from the nation of Qatar, and that that money was flowing directly to Joe Biden. Now, Qatar is a country that also has been a leading player, supporting Hamas, sheltering Hamas. And the Biden administration has been incredibly, incredibly soft on Qatar. And so it is direct ties of Biden corruption that is undermining our national security.

We're going to explain all about it, and to be honest, you can hear about it here and very few other places. Yeah, it is. And it's shocking that no one else seems to be covering it. Want to tell you real quick about my friends at Freedom Gold USA. If you have been looking at gold and silver, and you've seen the headlines gold and silver continuing to have record days, uh, especially with the volatility that we've been seeing on Wall street, why has there been volatility?

Speaker B

Because of what we've been seeing. When it comes to the economy and inflation and the job reports, the list goes on and on. In other words, it's by dynamics. Well, there are a lot of companies that can sell you gold and silver, but you need to pick the right one. And the reason why I want you to know about freedom Gold USA is because not only do they preach diversity, they're never going to tell you to put all of your money in gold and or silver.

They want you to diversify your assets. And the second reason, and this may actually be the most important, they charge 25% to 30% less than most major gold and silver firms that you've heard about. Now, that means you're literally buying 25% to 30% more gold and silver with your hard earned money. Then you will get somewhere else. So if you want to find out if gold and silver can work for you, if you want to see what you can do with an IRA or four hundred one k.

And if you want to know how to protect your hard earned dollars with physical gold, call my friends at FreedomGold USA. Go online to freedomgoldusa.com verdict. That's freedomgold USA.com verdict. Or you can call them at 1806 558843, that's 1806 58843 or freedom gold USA.com verdict. Senator, big tech is obviously had a massive influence over public opinion in this country.

We saw a recent report that came out just on TikTok, for example, where they were 45 to one stories that were pro Palestinian, pro Hamas over Israel. Uh, that's one example of how they've really been able to shape public opinion, especially with young people and the riots and the chaos we're witnessing on college campuses right now. But there's also something else that's happened with big tech. I've been a victim of it. I spoke out again against Big Tech a few years ago at a CPAC convention.

And before I landed home, after I spoke out about big tech, specifically Facebook, my accounts were shut down. They have never worked the same way as they did before. The reach has disappeared. I've witnessed it. And many other conservative leaders out there are going through the same things.

And it always seems to happen center right during a big election cycle where the Democrats get a free flow of information out and conservatives get hammered and silenced. Well, that's exactly right. So I started last year as the ranking member on the Senate committee of commerce, science, and transportation. And from that position, as the ranking member, which means the senior Republican on that committee, I launched an investigation into the abuse of power from Big Tech. And this past week, we put out a major report.

Senator Ted Cruz

The report is entitled weaponizing terms of how online service providers use broad policies to silence conservatives. Now, there are a lot of instances that we know about that get a lot of publicity. We know, for example, that Twitter, before Elon Musk purchased them, suspended the account of the Babylon Bee for making a joke about a Biden administration official. We know that both Facebook and Twitter suppressed stories about Hunter Biden's laptop before the 2020 election. We know that Facebook removed posts suggesting that COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan lab, something we talked about at length on this podcast and a theory that has now been confirmed both by the federal Department of Energy and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

We know that YouTube took down a March 2021 video of a panel discussion with Florida governor Ron DeSantis, during which he disputed claims that children needed to wear face masks. We know that YouTube also, which is owned by Google, blocked access to a November 2023 episode of this podcast verdict because we were criticizing the corporate media's favorable coverage of Hamas and YouTube, deemed, okay, you must be an adult to see what is on the network news. We also know in 2022, DirecTV dropped one America news network, and less than a year after Democrat leaders in Congress sent a letter to the CEO calling on them to stop carrying the network. We also know they did the same thing to Newsmax. Now, I lit DirecTV up, and they ended up bringing Newsmax back.

We also know that Intuit, at the direction of its banking partners, refused to provide payment processing and payroll services to gun manufacturers and sellers. And we know that JPMorgan Chase closed the account of the National Committee of Religious Freedom, which was created by former state Department ambassador at large for international Religious freedom and former us senator Sam Brownback. We know that GoFundMe block the release of $10 million of donations to the Canadian Truckers Freedom convoy. We've seen that happen over and over and over again. Well, what this report does is it lays out an entirely new area of discrimination, and it is using web based products and services, online service providers, to ban conservative organizations from using their technology.

And it's going after the infrastructure that is needed to communicate. And in fact, this investigation reveals that online service providers are following a playbook for silencing conservatives. That leftist organizations, including the Southern Poverty Law center, which is wildly left wing and hates conservatives, and the Anti Defamation League, the ADL, they together put together this strategy, this playbook, to, quote, remove infrastructure services that conservative organizations need to operate. And so I'm going to describe that playbook and what they're doing in particular. When you look at their playbook and this, this amount of influence, I mean, this can change and alter, certainly an election cycle.

Speaker B

It can certainly, I would argue, change a presidential election as well. And that's the reason why they're doing this. When, when you think about, you know, you've got millions of people that follow you. Uh, Facebook, I've got, you know, over a million. But if you turn off and throttle either one of us, then the reach that we have compared to the left, it just disappears.

It's the, it's the old saying, right? If a big tree falls in the forest and no one's around, did it make a sound? And that's exactly what they did. But it wasn't just to one or two people. They were doing this to hundreds of top conservative voices that, that people look to for their opinions, specifically when it comes to election year issues.

Senator Ted Cruz

So that's exactly right. And what this report focuses on is it uses a couple of key examples. It uses, number one, Slack's removal of libs of TikTok's workspace. It focuses on event rights, removal of event pages for events related to Matt Walsh's what is a Woman? Documentary, as well as an event where Riley Gaines was scheduled to speak.

And it focuses on Bonterra's termination of its relationship with Independent Women's Forum, which deprived that organization of major nonprofit technology service provider services. And all of this follows. There was a report that was put out by the anti Defamation League, and it is called bad how deplatforming affects extremist websites. And here's what the ADL recommended. It says, quote, deplatforming websites, removing infrastructure services they need to operate, such as website hosting, can reduce the spread and reach of extremism and hate online.

But when does de platforming succeed? And here's what ADL explained. Quote, this report shows that deplatforming can decrease the popularity of extremist websites, especially when done without warning. And they go through we learned four important lessons about how de platforming affects extremist websites, by which they mean anything right of center. Number one, it can cause popularity rankings to decrease immediately.

Number two, it may take users a long time to return to the website. Sometimes the website never regains its previous popularity. Bingo. Number three, unexpected. And unexpected is key.

Unexpected D platforming makes it take longer for the website to regain its previous popularity levels. And number four, replicating D platform services such as discussions, discussion forums, or live streaming video products on a standalone website presents significant challenges, including higher costs and smaller audiences. Now I want to go into a little bit more. This is what the ADL report it has an entire section that says what is deplatforming? And by the way, the corporate media insists when we talk about deplatforming that we're making it up.

Well, if you actually read the blueprint, they are very explicit. The left is explicit. They want to silence you. So let me read from this ADL report. Quote, there are three main categories of infrastructure that keep websites running, domain registrars, web hosting companies, and security protection companies.

Number one, the website must be able to register and keep a domain name. A domain name such as google.com or adl.org is how visitors find a site. If a website is removed from domain name services, it becomes much more difficult, if not impossible, to find. Number two, web hosting companies and content distribution networks provide digital storage space for all the files, pictures, videos and software that make up the content of a website. When a website loses its hosting provider, the site's content disappears.

Losing a CDN, a content distribution network, can cause slow service for high traffic sites. And number three, a third category of infrastructure provider includes companies that protect websites from external security risks, such as distributed denial of service. DDoS attacks DDoS attacks flood a website with fake traffic to overwhelm it, rendering it unable to answer normal user requests. If an infrastructure company, such as a network security firm, Cloudflare, refuses to provide DDoS protection to a vulnerable website, it is vulnerable to being flooded with traffic, rendering it inaccessible. So you look at what this, what we found out and what you just went through.

Speaker B

The question is, how is it that these companies, and I'm specifically referring to big tech, are allowed to get away with this and do this to many people that they're in business with? I use myself as the example again, because I've experienced this. When you went into business and I felt like I was in business with Facebook, they said, advertise with us, right? Advertise your show, advertise your content, boost your content, spend money with us, and we're going to help you grow an audience and it'll be good for everyone. And then all of a sudden, they just shut you down and they were able to walk away and just say, oh, well, you, you violated our terms of Service, or you did this or you posted too many things that liberals posted as, as saying they were factually incorrect.

The fact checkers came out right, the liberals on the left, they were fact checking and putting dings against conservatives. So they lose their reach, lose their ability to boost posts, lose their ability to advertise. And they, it was all being done to clearly influence public opinion, and yet they've gotten away with it. So what's next? Speaker two well, what this report focuses on, many of the de platforming steps by Facebook or Twitter or YouTube.

Senator Ted Cruz

They're very public. What this report focuses on is the ones that are not public, which is the back office infrastructure. So let's take, for example, Slack, which is used for communication for many online organizations and companies. Slack canceled libs of TikTok's workspace for violating its terms of service. And the terms of service prohibit users from, quote, engaging in activity that incites or encourages violence or hatred towards, against individuals or groups.

Slack determined that libs of TikTok violated this policy based on three social media posts concerning, quote, gender affirming hysterectomies and all age drag shows. Now, here's the interesting thing. Slack shut down libs of TikTok's workplace without any warning, without any explanation as to how it has violated Slack's policy. And Slack's action caused libs of TikTok to effectively lose its use of Slack's communications and forced it to rely entirely on cell phones to run its business. Now, listen to this quote, which is fascinating.

Slack told the commerce committee, told my investigation, quote, what makes libs of TikTok's posts problematic is that libs of TikTok has a specific audience, and they are taking this information and posting it to that specific audience so that everyone in that audience sees it at the same time. In other words, they didn't even find objections with what libs of TikTok was posting. What they were mad at is conservatives were reading it, and that was enough reason to deplatform libs of TikTok. So when you shut down a business in essence the way they did, is there any real and instant relief for libs of tick tock or others? Or is this one of those.

Speaker B

They're too big to fail, right? These companies are too big. They're protected, and. And you're the minion and just deal with it. And if you're.

And who cares if your life work is destroyed in 30 seconds because they shut it off? So right now, there, there is not immediate relief. You could presumably file a breach of contract case. The biggest relief, and the reason I did this report is just sunshine. They're doing this in the dark.

Senator Ted Cruz

They're doing this without scrutiny. There is right now no federal law that this is prohibited. I'll give you another example, Eventbrite, which we focuses on. Eventbrite canceled pages for events hosted by college republican clubs concerning Matt Walsh's what is a woman? Film.

And it also canceled pages for an event featuring swimmer Riley Gaines for violating its terms of service. Now, critically, no one involved in the decision, this is what they told the committee, watched the movie what is a. What is a woman? So they never saw it. And.

And they couldn't identify anything objectionable in the trailer, so they just didn't like the topic, so they decided to take it down. They relied instead on Matt Walsh's statements about, quote, gender affirming surgeries, pronouns, and his Johnny the Walrus children's book to reach the conclusion. Likewise, Eventbrite determined that Riley Gaines event violated its policy based on her social media post about biological men competing in women's sports. They shut down the event page without any warning, without any explanation as to how they violated this policy, without any way to fix it. And their actions ruined advertisements that included QR codes for the event pages.

So, you know, a lot had been done to put out the codes to say, hey, come to this event. And they forced the event organizers to quickly pivot to a new method of providing tickets. And the committee asked eventbrite whether Gaines statement on October 10, 2023, she posted on Twitter, quote, real women lack a Y chromosome, and we asked whether that violates Eventbrite's policy. Eventbrite responded that, quote, the post speaks for itself, so they needn't answer that. How dare you say that someone with a Y chromosome is not a woman.

We don't even need to dispute it. We have the power to shut it down. When. So now, moving forward, you shine light on this and you talk about this is really being done in darkness, and we need to. We need to shine light on it.

Speaker B

Was there any nervousness from those that you're questioning? I want to use the word remorse, but I can't imagine they're remorseful. But is it going to at least make them pause before they do it again or not? So let me ask you, Ben, have you seen this on CNN? No.

Senator Ted Cruz

Have you seen it on ABC, NBC, CB's, MSNBC? Nowhere. Have you read it in the Washington Post? You read it in the New York Times? No.

No. The corporate media will not cover it. I'll give you another example. So Bonterra, which provides nonprofit management services, so it's back office, but it's incredibly important, and there are very few providers of this. They denied those services to independent women's Forum, which is a conservative organization that is focused on advancing women's rights.

And Bonterra concluded that it violated its policies, which require customers to agree to refrain from advocacy, denying LGBTQ rights or denying a woman's right to reproductive choice or denying racial justice or denying climate change, and their policies also prohibit customers from, quote, promoting, encouraging, or facilitating hate speech, violence, discrimination based on race, color, sexual orientation, marital status, gender, or identity expression. Bonterra notified independent Women's Forum of its decision not to renew their contract without any explanation of how the organization violated this policy. As a result, independent Women's forum had to quickly move off Bonterra's platform and obtain a replacement services provider. Bonterra told the committee that independent women's forum violated its terms of service because the organization, quote, works to restrict the rights of the LGBTQ community. Bonterra could not explain exactly how the group was working to restrict LGBTQ rights, but gener generally pointed to independent women forums, advocacy on issues like protecting women's sports, women's spaces.

So if you actually think that girls should compete in girl sports, that is a view that that is not acceptable and you will be denied online basic infrastructure from monopoly and near monopoly providers. I'd like to take a moment and have a real heart to heart with you if you're able right now. Place your hand over your heart. Can you feel it? That's your heartbeat telling you that you're alive.

Speaker A

It's the same for a preborn baby. Their heart begins to form at conception, and at just three weeks, it's already beating. At five weeks, a baby's heartbeat can be heard on ultrasound. And that's why we've partnered with Preborn, because we need to help these precious babies. Every day, Preborn's networks of clinics rescue 200 babies from abortion.

When a mother with an unplanned pregnancy meets her baby on ultrasound and hears their heartbeat, it's a divine encounter that doubles a baby's chances at life. And by six weeks, the eyes are forming. By ten weeks, a baby is able to suck his or her own thumb. And for just $28, you could be the difference between life or death of a child. All gifts are tax deductible, and I want you to donate.

Speaker B

All you have to do is just. Dial pound 250 and say the key word baby. That's pound 250. Keyword, baby. You can also donate securely@preborn.com.

Speaker A

Verdict. That's preborn.com verdict. Or pound 250 and say the key word baby. Hey, everyone, it's Ted from consumer cellular, the guy in the orange sweater. And this is your wake up call.

Speaker C

If you're paying too much for wireless service, you don't have to keep having that nightmare. Consumer cellular has the same fast, reliable coverage as the leading carriers for less and for a limited time. New customers receive their second month free when they sign up and use promo code month free by May 31. So why keep spending more than you have to?

Speaker E

Even worse, identity theft victims often don't even know they're victims. That's why Lifelock identity theft protection alerts you to identity threats, even the ones that don't show up on a credit report, like data breaches, fraudulent bank transactions, loan and credit card applications, and crimes committed in your name.

Senator Ted Cruz

And if you look at Eventbrite, for example, let's go back to Riley Gaines. So Riley Gaines, they shut her down because they disagreed about, not her event, but about some posts that she had put out. What they did not object to was an event that we identified entitled Gaza and the Struggle for Palestine. Now, that event was flagged by Eventbrite's algorithm and it was reviewed by its trust and safety team, but it determined that that event did not violate its hateful events policy in an October 9, 2023 statement. So two days after October 7, here's what the event sponsor, the Palestinian American Organization Networks, said.

It called the October 7 attack, quote, self defense measures and said that, quote, Israel bears the full responsibility for those attacks and declared that, quote, the palestinian people have the right to defend themselves and to fight the occupation with all means available. We salute the steadfastness of the palestinian people and its resistance. So understand saluting the mass murder of 1200 people, the raping of women and girls, that does not violate their hateful speech policy. But saying that girls exist, that does. Saying that men should not compete against women in women's sports, that does.

That is the utter hypocrisy and double standards that allows. By the way, Eventbrite has also allowed numerous, quote, stop cop city events which support violent protesters who oppose the building of a police and firefighter training facility. Likewise, Eventbrite created a map, a Black Lives Matter protest, many of which turned violent to help users find them. So in other words, actual events that produce violence, that end up killing people, that burn shops, that firebomb cars, those are not deemed hateful and violent. But if you say that women exists, you must be deplatformed.

Speaker B

Incredible. Want to tell you about Patriot mobile. If you're like me and you're sick and tired of giving your money to woke liberal companies that hate your values. Then your cell phone provider may be at the top of the list and you don't even know it. You may not realize that big mobile gives massive donations to democratic causes, candidates that are running at the local, state, national level as well.

You may not realize that when you pay your bill to big mobile, you're supporting Planned Parenthood. That's right. They give major donations decade after decades to Planned Parenthood. That's why I made the switch to Patriot mobile, because Patriot Mobile is the only nationwide conservative, dependable provider of what you need. And that is access to all three major networks.

That means the same towers you're using right now are the same towers you're going to keep using. The other thing is switching is now easy in 2024. Look, number one reason why people don't switch Internet providers or cell phone providers is they think it takes forever. Because it used to take forever. Well, not anymore.

Switching is easy and you can do it over the phone. You can keep your same cell phone number you have now, keep your same cell phone you have right now or upgrade to a new one. But here's the payoff that you're going to love every time you pay your bill to Patriot mobile. They take about 5% of your bill at no extra cost to you, and they give it back to organizations that support free speech, religious freedom, that protect the sanctity of life of unborn children. They also give money to second Amendment organizations and they support our military, our wounded warriors, our veterans, and our first responder heroes.

So you're making a difference with every phone call you make. So get away from woke Mobile and switch to Patriot, the number nine seven two, Patriot. Use the promo code verdict and you're going to get free activation. That's nine seven two, Patriot or Patriot mobile.com. Verdict.

Senator, one of the reasons why I just, I love doing this show with you is we get to talk about issues that the media is not covering. The last one's a great example, but there's also one that needs to have everyone listening, share on social media, and that is this new report out that it wasn't just Hunter Biden that was getting in on the, on the action of selling access to daddy. Jim Biden was getting in on the action and actually may have been a bigger offender. Based on what we're finding out, Jim Biden is now being accused of being in business with qatari officials, the actual government and hunter Biden yeah, he leverages ties to his dad. We, we've seen that.

But Politico has a new report out that says that Joe Biden's brother was winning business deals with business partners that were directly linked and tied to foreign governments, those that were actually tied to terrorism. According to the outlet, Jim Biden, the president's brother was in business with qatari officials to fund his health care venture. That would be, quote, some of the closest known links between a Biden relative and a foreign government. Well, that's exactly right. This was a bombshell report that came out three days ago in Politico.

Senator Ted Cruz

The title of the report is, quote, fund manager indicates Jim Biden was in business with qatari officials. And Politico explains, quote, new details about Jim Biden's foreign fundraising efforts are spilling out into a Kentucky bankruptcy court, where recent testimony indicates that President Joe Biden's brother partnered with the qatari government officials in his quest to find money for a us healthcare venture. The sworn testimony by fund manager Michael Lewitt, a former business partner of Jim Biden's, attests that two companies that facilitated the efforts were part owned by members of the qatari government. One company named in the testimony partnered directly with Jim Biden in the multi year fundraising efforts. The second company provided financial backing for a series of loans that a hospital chain paid Jim Biden to arrange.

According to documents and testimony Lewitt submitted in the course of the federal bankruptcy proceedings, if substantiated, the alleged arrangements would constitute some of the closest known financial links between a relative of President Joe Biden and a foreign government speaker. One, it's also about following the money. Yes, we're hearing now that this money that was coming in was not just going to Jim Biden, but it was also going into the pocket of the now president of the United States of America. This testimony that came out in this bankruptcy, these documents, and now this, this individual that did business with the Bidens, he said, look, at first there was a bridge loan to AmeriCorps that coincided with a payment from AmeriCorps directly to Jim Biden. The report says.

Speaker B

Biden said in testimony in February that the roughly $600,000 payments that he received from AmeriCorps around the time where his role was in arranging, quote, loans and many other services, quote unquote. And then in March of 2018, Jim Biden transferred $200,000 of the payments in question to then his brother, Joe Biden. Well, look, that is exactly right. And you didn't understand. Qatar has some of the most problematic foreign policy of any country on earth.

Senator Ted Cruz

And so this is, you know, it's amazing. The Biden crime family. And that phrase, I got to say a while ago, it sounded like hyperbole. It no longer sounds like hyperbole because the entire Biden family is engaged in a business where they only do business with our enemies. They somehow never seem to do business with Canada.

They never do business with the United Kingdom. They never do business with France or Spain or Japan. They only do business with Russia. They do business with Ukraine. They do business with communist China.

Let me read from this political article because it lays out, quote, in June of 2017, Qatar's neighbors, led by Saudi Arabia, ganged up and cut diplomatic ties with the country, citing its alleged support for terrorism. The ensuing financial and physical blockade through the country, a peninsula that juts out from Saudi Arabia into the Persian Gulf, into a sustained crisis. In response, the country's rulers began showering well connected westerners with gifts and financial benefits, sometimes in the form of investment funding. The qatari influence offensive strengthened the country's ties to the US and Europe, but also led to corruption scandals, including the European Parliament's sprawling Cuttergate fiasco. Around the time of the blockade, Jim Biden was embarking into a foray into the health care business in which he worked closely with the troubled hospital chain AmeriCorps.

And by the way, when Jim Biden was, was raising money, he pitched himself very directly as so, for example, here's what Jim Biden said in a draft letter to official at Qatar Sovereign wealth fund. He said, quote, my family could provide a wealth of introductions and business opportunities at the highest level that I believe would be worthy of the interest of his Excellency. On behalf of the Biden family, I welcome your interest here. That's how he was pitching it. And it resulted in payments of roughly $600,000 from AmeriCorps that he received, and Jim Biden transferred $200,000 of those payments directly to Joe Biden.

Now, understand who Qatar is. Also, do you know where the leaders of Hamas live? Where's that cutter? There you go. They live as billionaires.

They live in incredibly lush, opulent apartments. They fly private jets. Qatar gives them sanctuary. Qatar supports them. Qatar protects them.

This is the same Hamas that carried out October 7. This is the same Hamas that murders Israelis and murders murders Americans. And yet the Biden administration consistently refuses to sanction Qatar, refuses to stand up to Qatar, and suddenly we discover that the Biden family has been bought and paid for. By the way, speaker one, can you. Go back and read that one line, because I do think it's an important one.

Hold on, let me read. Let me read a different line. Yeah. Which is Jim Biden presented a presentation on behalf of AmeriCorps saying that AmeriCorps was seeking $30 million in financing to acquire hospitals. Do you know how the presentation described Jim Biden?

Speaker B

I'm going to guess Joe Biden's brother. It described him as totally separate person with no connection to the vice president or the president. No, no, that actually is not correct. I'm going to read you what it said. This is a, quote, Jim Biden, quote, brother and campaign finance chair of former Vice President Joe Biden.

Senator Ted Cruz

So it ain't complicated. Why do you want to give him money? Because he's Joe, Joe's brother. And by the way, the money you give him, he'll give to Joe. Why is this not on the 06:00 news, Ben?

Speaker B

Because it indicts the president of the United States of America in a pay to play scheme that would bring down, I would argue, any other presidency. Look, in any normal sense, that would be right. But if you look at these documents, these documents are being ignored by the media. So, for example, Lewitt wrote to Jim Biden to express confidence that his funds would be repaid immediately for its loans to Americorps with money from Dubai. According to an email that emerged in the bankruptcy litigation.

Senator Ted Cruz

Quote, nothing else changes in terms of what I will be doing re AmeriCorps since I will be just as responsible for the Dubai dollar, dollar dollar three signs with the added worry being driven around the desert. Lol. Wow. Speaker two, I mean, I'm sitting here and I say wow, and I mean it. Rarely am I speechless.

Speaker B

But I go back to that, that sense. I wanted you to read again where the pitch is to his Excellency. I mean, they're saying, hey, do business with us. You guys need access, you're in trouble. This is how you get the Biden family on your team again.

It's just going to cost you millions of dollars in, quote, business. Yeah. Let's be clear. The entire pitch, it was not about Jim Biden's financial acumen. It's not about what he knew about health care.

Senator Ted Cruz

As far as we can tell, he didn't know a damn thing about health care. Here's what he wrote. What he wrote. I'm going to read it again. The draft letter from Jim Biden.

Read, in part, quote, my family. It's not even me. My family. And who's my family mean? He means his brother.

It's just like Hunter Biden. When he says my father, they're all talking about Papa Joe. My family could provide a wealth of introduction and business opportunities at the highest level that I believe would be worthy of the interest of his excellency. And his and excellency are both capitalized. On behalf of the Biden family, I welcome your interest here.

Speaker B

Yeah, meaning I'm speaking on behalf of. My brother, just like Hunter Biden said. I'm sitting here next to my father, to the chinese communist. If you do not give me $5 million right now, my father will retaliate. It wasn't just Hunter.

Senator Ted Cruz

It was Jim. It was the entire family. And I want to underscore, why didn't they do business with the French or the British or any friends? The Japanese, the Canadians? No, it was only enemies of America.

It was only countries that provide comfort and shelter to Hamas and terrorists who murder Americans. That was their business strategy is find people who hate America, find countries who are enemies of America, but who need favors from Joe Biden and go get hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars from them. Yeah, and this comes, by the way, two weeks after James Biden, it came out in court documents as well. Apparently secretly negotiated $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a us company and the saudi arabian government, quote, due to his relationship with then Vice President Joe Biden, court documents revealed. And no one talked about that story either on the nightly news, as you mentioned a moment ago.

Look, it reminds me of Mel Brooks movie, history of the world, part one, where he says repeatedly, it's good to be the king. It's good to be the king. That that's how the Biden family sadly approaches government. Yeah, we're going to keep watching this.
