1:47GetSunday .com. Welcome, it is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you as

1:52well. Senator, we've got a lot to talk about, especially what's going on in the

1:55Middle East right now. And then we've got some issues at home with the Supreme

1:59Court. Well, Iran continues to screw around to believe that Donald Trump is bluffing.

2:05And if there's one thing that has been made absolutely clear, it's that President Trump

2:09is not bluffing. In the Strait of Hormuz, Iran tried to have a tanker run

2:14the Strait of Hormuz. That did not work well, and it resulted in a big

2:17hole being blown in that tanker.

2:19We're going to break down exactly what's happening with the Strait of Hormuz and all

2:22the pressure that President Trump is putting on Iran to end the threat that they

2:26pose to the United States of America.

2:28We're also going to talk about Qatar, which has been the number one foreign funder

2:33of U .S. universities for many, many years.

2:36And they realized they got a problem.

2:38People don't like the home to Hamas, the funder to anti -American sentiments to tearing

2:46down our nation, being a foreign nation.

2:48So they just hired two big Washington lobby firms to try to cover up their

2:53PR. We're going to break that down as well.

2:55We're going to tell you all about that.

2:56I want to also take a moment and talk to you real quick about what's

2:59going on with your IRA.

4:22All right. So, where do you want to start with what's going on with Iran,

4:25the Strait of Hormuz? There's two different issues here.

4:28One, the Strait was open, Senator.

4:30Then Iran was like, all right, maybe not.

4:32We're not going to do that deal.

4:33Now, we're going to run boats through the Strait of Hormuz.

4:35They got a six -hour warning to not do it with the same boat over

4:39and over again saying, you need to turn around.

4:41You need to turn around.

4:42And then finally, we just blew a hole in the middle of it and said,

4:44all right, well, now what are you going to do?

4:45And we have now taken, from the President's words, we have taken that ship.

4:50Well, here's what President Trump put out on Truth Social.

4:53Today, an Iranian -flagged cargo ship named Tuska, nearly 900 foot long and weighing almost

5:01as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our naval blockade, and it

5:06did not go well for them.

5:07The U .S. Navy -guided missile destroyer USS Spruance intercepted the Tuska in the Gulf

5:14of Oman and gave them fair warning to stop.

5:18The Iranian crew refused to listen.

5:20So our Navy ship stopped them right in their tracks by blowing a...

5:25hole in their engine room.

5:28Right now U .S. Marines have custody of the vessel.

5:31The Tuska is under U .S.

5:33Treasury sanctions because of their prior history of illegal activity.

5:37We have full custody of the ship and are seeing what's on board.

5:42That is clear and unequivocal.

5:44It'll be interesting to see tomorrow if the Iranians try to run the blockade again.

5:48I predict if they try to run the blockade again the same thing will result

5:52and at the end of the day if you're a tanker full of oil you're

5:55not going to do very well against the United States Navy.

5:58Yeah what was also interesting about this this attack on this ship and this is

6:03the part that where I laugh because online they're like oh this is going to

6:06be Exxon Valdez and I can't believe America is doing this.

6:09No no no this was very surgical strike.

6:12We knew what we were aiming for.

6:14We knew we were going to take the ship.

6:15We knew it was going to be dead in the water.

6:17This was flawlessly done and well planned out beforehand and so for all those who

6:23are like I can't believe America did this like you should be proud of this

6:26moment and we also gave six hours of warning.

6:29We did radio calls. We had flares.

6:32We even had boats go in front of it like we did everything that we

6:36could have done in a six hour time span clearly on video.

6:41I love that this video has been put out because it's important that people see

6:44exactly we did everything we could to make sure this ship turned around and stopped.

6:48It refused and there are consequences for those actions.

6:53Yes that's right and look it's not an accident that we hit the engine room.

6:57We incapacitated the ship made it unable to move forward and then boarded the ship

7:00and took over the ship and and you could fully anticipate if any other ships

7:04tried to run run the blockade the same the same thing will result.

7:08At the same time we have a second story that broke which is the federal

7:12government has arrested an Iranian woman at LAX right before she was about to get

7:18on a flight to Turkey.

7:20Charmaine Mafi is accused of brokering Iranian bombs, weapons, drones, and ammunition to Sudan.

7:29Mafi who lives in LA allegedly brokered quote millions of rounds of ammunitions for Iran.

7:37The feds say one of her contracts was worth 60 million euros and it was

7:44to broker the sale of Iranian -made drones arms between Iran and Sudan.

7:49In another instance Mafi and her co -conspirator allegedly sold 55 ,000 bomb fuses to

7:58the Sudanese military. That's a lot by the way.

8:01That is a lot and and here's what what President Trump put out concerning Iran.

8:08Look we're cutting off their money we're arresting people who are trafficking in arms and

8:13President Trump put out on Truth Social quote we're offering a very fair and reasonable

8:20deal. If they don't the United States is going to knock out every single power

8:28plant and every single bridge in Iran.

8:32And then in all caps no more Mr.

8:37Nice Guy. I gotta say pause for a second if you're an Iranian mullah.

8:43You read that and you gotta think Mr.

8:45Nice Guy holy crap. Yeah.

8:47Like in two months just about every single ballistic missile's been taken out.

8:52Just about every single factory manufacturing ballistic missiles have been taken out.

8:56All of their air defenses have been taken out.

8:59All of their drones have been taken out.

9:01All of their drone manufacturing capabilities have been taken out.

9:03Their air force has been taken out.

9:05Their navy is sunk and sitting at the bottom of the ocean.

9:09The Ayatollah is dead. The entire senior military leadership is dead.

9:14And now they have a blockade where Iran can't take in or out any oil.

9:18And by the way we're about a week away from Iran having to shut in

9:21wells. And if and when Iran shuts in wells the consequences.

9:26Explain what that means so people understand how significant shutting in wells is.

9:30Right. So they're producing oil.

9:33And when you're producing oil you're pumping it out.

9:36You're loading it in tankers and it's moving.

9:37Now the problem is they don't have enough storage capacity.

9:40They're continuing to pump millions of barrels of oil and they gotta have a place

9:44to put it. And if they're not allowed to put it on tankers and take

9:47it out they're running out of storage capacity.

9:49So their only choice then is to shut it down.

9:52It's to cap off the well.

9:54Now the problem is once you do that what happens is water comes into the

9:59formation and reduces the pressure in the formation.

10:02And when you shut in a well when you come back a week or a

10:06month or a year later and you try to get it producing again typically it

10:10produces at a much lower rate.

10:12So Iran is risking doing permanent damage to its oil fields which is a source

10:18of revenue. That is massive leverage.

10:21And the impact on Iran's oil production and economy is going to be profound.

10:27And I want to do a little bit of a deep dive into what the

10:30impact of this blockade is having.

10:32So Daniel Akal is an economist who tweeted the following out.

10:36Quote, blocking the Strait of Hormuz with the support of Oman and other Gulf nations

10:41may have two objectives. One, block Iran's exports and inflow of hard currency.

10:48And two, make China force Iran to negotiate in realistic terms, being a strategic partner

10:56of Iran and the most impacted by any shutdown.

10:59Understand, cutting off the oil, it hurts Iran badly, but most of that oil was

11:03going to China, that hurts China too.

11:05The reason to do it now and not before, this may be because 80 %

11:11of the crude supply of the Strait of Hormuz has already been replaced or rerouted.

11:18So the impact on supply and demand for most OPEC partners and customers is as

11:25small as possible with the highest negative impact for the Iran regime.

11:30Furthermore, OPEC has already agreed to lift quotas by exactly the amount that Iran exports,

11:38right about 2 million barrels per day.

11:41And let me do a little more deep dive in terms of what this means.

11:48And this is a thread from Miad Malecki, who's a senior fellow at FDD, which

11:53is a fantastic think tank on the Middle East.

11:56Here's what he put out, and this is really, this detail is really useful.

12:00The U .S. naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would cost Iran approximately $276

12:06million a day in lost exports and disrupt $149 million a day in imports, a

12:14combined economic damage of $435 million a day or $13 billion a month.

12:22Wow. Over 90 % of Iran's $109 .7 billion in annual trade transits the Persian

12:30Gulf. Oil and gas account for 80 % of government export earnings and 23 .7

12:38% of GDP. Karg Island alone generates $53 billion a year, or as I noted

12:49at the time, $78 billion a year in energy revenue, crude oil.

12:53Iran was exporting 1 .5 million barrels a day, earning $139 million a day at

13:01wartime pricings, about $87 a barrel.

13:04Though with minimal proceed repatriation due to banking sanctions.

13:09A blockade zeros that out overnight.

13:13Karg Island, which handles 92 % of the exports, sits deep inside the Gulf with

13:18no viable alternative. That's $139 million a day gone.

13:23How about petrochemicals? Petrochemicals. Iran exported $19 .7 billion in petrochemicals in nine months of

13:3324 and 25. $54 million a day.

13:36Virtually all of it ships through Asalua, Iman Khomeini, and Shahid Rajai.

13:43Sorry about my pronunciation is not great on that.

13:46All inside the blockade zone.

13:49No overland route can move these volumes.

13:53That's another $54 million a day gone.

13:57All right. How about non -oil exports?

14:00Which is a lot, by the way.

14:02Yeah. Iran's non -oil trade hit $51 .7 billion in 2025.

14:09After subtracting petrochemicals, $88 million a day in goods, minerals, metals, etc.

14:17flow through Persian Gulf ports.

14:19Roughly 90 % would be blocked.

14:22That's another $79 million a day in lost revenue.

14:27Over 90 % of Iran's seaborne trade transits the Strait of Hormuz.

14:33Shahid Rajai Bandar Abbas alone handles 53 % of all cargo operations.

14:40Imam Khomeini handles 58 % of basic goods imports.

14:44Bushair ports moved 57 million tons last year, all deep inside the Gulf.

14:51Alternatives? Iran's options outside the Strait are negligible.

14:57JASC, the must -touted bypass, operates as a fraction of its 1 million barrels a

15:03day design capacity. Only 10 out of 20 storage tanks were built.

15:09Effective throughput? 70 ,000 barrels a day.

15:15Chabahar handles just 8 .5 million tons a year.

15:19The five Caspian ports combined handle 11 million tons versus 220 million through the Gulf.

15:27How about on the import side?

15:29Iran imported 58 billion in goods in 2025, 159 million a day.

15:35A blockade chokes off industrial inputs, machinery, and consumer goods.

15:40Food inflation already hit 105 % in February 2026.

15:47Rice prices are up 7x.

15:52This gets dramatically worse under a blockade.

15:56Blockade will hopefully allow offloading of the humanitarian cargoes.

16:01Final couple of points. extremely important topic is the storage clock.

16:07Iran has 50 to 55 million barrels of total onshore oil storage, roughly 60 %

16:13full. Spare capacity? About 20 million barrels.

16:18With 1 .5 million barrels a day of you plus production that normally exports storage

16:24fills in 13 days, and that was from the start of the blockade.

16:28After that, Iran must shut in wells.

16:32This is what we were talking about just a minute ago.

16:34Why is this very important?

16:35When mature oil wells shut down, bottom water rushes in, a process called water coning.

16:44Oil droplets get permanently trapped in rock pores.

16:48This oil can never be recovered.

16:52Iran's fields already declined 5 % to 8 % annually.

16:56Forced shut -ins could permanently destroy 300 ,000 to 500 ,000 barrels a day of

17:03production capacity. That's $9 billion to $15 billion a year in revenue gone forever.

17:12And to be clear, you can't get it back.

17:14I think people need to understand the point you're saying there.

17:16It's not like you can go, okay, we'll go over here and then drill, and

17:19then we'll go get what we lost earlier in capacity.

17:21Like you said, once you shut them in, that capacity never comes back.

17:26Yeah, you can reopen it.

17:28It'll produce some, but it will produce at a much lower rate.

17:31All right, what happens to currency?

17:34Currency collapse accelerant. The real has already cratered from 42 ,000 to what do you

17:40think it is now? It was 42 ,000 to the dollar.

17:44It's now 1 .5 million to the dollar.

17:48Wow. Banks are limiting withdrawals to $18 to $30 a day.

17:54Overall inflation right now, 47.

17:57Hold on, hold on. The family of four, $18 to $30 a day is a

18:00max you can get out of the bank right now.

18:01Yep. Overall inflation, 47 .5%.

18:06A blockade eliminating all forex earnings pushes the real into terminal hyperinflation.

18:15The regime issued its largest ever banknote, 10 million reals.

18:20What do you think that's worth?

18:22I have no idea. What is that now?

18:24About seven bucks. 10 million reals, seven bucks.

18:27The bottom line is this.

18:30A naval blockade imposes $435 million a day in combined economic damage.

18:36Storage fills in 13 days, forcing well shut -ins that cause permanent reservoir damage.

18:42The real enters terminal collapse.

18:45Iran's alternatives outside the strait can replace less than 10 % of the Gulf through

18:50point. The blockade makes continued resistance economically impossible.

18:56That is the leverage President Trump is applying right now.

19:00Every day, Americans make choices that shape our country's future, right down to which cell

19:06phone provider we support. Here's what most people don't actually realize.

19:11Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.

19:13They're an activist organization funded by selling top -tier cell service.

19:19They've been on the front lines defending our freedoms long before it was cool, standing

19:24up in the gap when others wouldn't.

19:26The best part is they deliver prioritized premium service on all three major U .S.

19:33networks, giving you the same or even better coverage, backed by 100 % U .S.-based

19:38customer support. You get unlimited data, mobile hotspots, international roaming, and so much more.

19:44But when you switch to Patriot Mobile, that's what I love the most.

19:48You'll help grow a movement that fuels the Christian conservative cause.

19:53Every bill you pay helps advance the values of faith, family, and freedom.

19:58And switching is easier than ever.

20:00You can literally activate in minutes, keep your number, keep your phone, or upgrade.

20:05So take a stand today.

20:07Go to Patriot Mobile, PatriotMobile .com slash Ferguson.

20:12That's PatriotMobile .com slash Ferguson.

20:18That's 972 -PATRIOT. And use the promo code FERGUSON for a free month of service.

20:25PatriotMobile .com slash FERGUSON or 972 -PATRIOT to make the switch today.

20:31Let's talk about the timeline here.

20:34We're talking about not months of survival economically.

20:37We're talking about catastrophic blows to their economy center each and every day, and certainly

20:44each week that goes by.

20:46And when you say that's the leverage, that's not hyperbole.

20:50On the ground there, when you're limiting people taking out under $30 a day, that's

20:56how bad it is. They're forcing people to make those types of decisions because otherwise

21:00the entire economy will collapse instantly.

21:03That's right. And the pressure on the regime, and remember the Chinese are pressuring them

21:07too because the Chinese want the oil.

21:09And by cutting off the oil, the Chinese are facing a real problem as well.

21:14And I think President Trump is just gradually ratcheting up the pressure more and more

21:18and more. It's probably why they decided to risk trying to run the blockade because

21:23they desperately needed to move that oil.

21:25And it turned out that is not an option they have in front of them.

21:29Well, final question on this, and obviously we're going to have a lot more, but

21:31Democrats have been using, and I had dealt with this on TV the other day,

21:35the word they keep trying to use is this is Trump's quagmire.

21:39If this is the definition of quagmire, count me in for the rest of my

21:43life. I want to be a guy that does quagmires because this has been incredibly

21:46successful so far. But they're saying that clearly trying to sway political opinion of the

21:52president, that this is somehow a disaster, these guys send a never -ending war.

21:56This is Iraq -Afghanistan 2 .0.

21:59That is not the case here, but they're using it also for the midterms.

22:03I truly believe we're on the cusp of something happening significant in a positive way

22:09for the U .S. because of all this, just from what you laid out, which

22:13is why I would tell people, take this show, share it wherever you can, because

22:16when you do hear how close the Iranian economy is to total collapse and disaster,

22:22you realize just how close and also how smart the president is to keep doubling

22:27down on the pressure because you're just getting them even closer and close to the

22:31brink. This is in no way a quagmire.

22:34This is a success on economic pressure, oil pressure, military pressure.

22:39The list goes on and on.

22:41Look, in the Iraq war, we had boots on the ground, hundreds of thousands of

22:44boots on the ground for multiple years.

22:47In Iran, we have zero boots on the ground.

22:49That's a hell of a difference.

22:51This is not remotely Iraq.

22:53The Democrats know that. Listen, the Democrats started the day President Trump began this military

22:59assault. The Democrats began attacking, not Iran, attacking him.

23:03It used to be that politics ends at the water's edge.

23:06I've got to say, we did a classified briefing with all the top national security

23:10officials of the admin just in the first few days of this military conflict, and

23:14it was disgraceful. Democrat senator after Democrat senator stood up and just attacked, attacked, attacked.

23:19They were totally opposed. The only Democrat senator who's not is John Fetterman.

23:25John has shown a lot of courage standing up and saying, of course this makes

23:27us safer. It does. And in terms of what's happening already, we have seen a

23:32massive military success. Is there even one Democrat other than Fetterman who will acknowledge the

23:37massive military success? That the military goals President Trump laid out have been virtually 100

23:44% accomplished. That is an unprecedented military victory.

23:49And then the major goals of getting Iran to permanently stop enrichment, to hand over

23:54their enriched uranium, to stop funding terrorism, and ultimately to remove, to cause this regime

24:01to collapse and get out of power, or Islamists who are killing Americans.

24:05All of that is massively important in terms of making America much safer.

24:09Love, generosity, and compassion. We say those words all the time, and they sound good.

24:15They feel good. But here's the truth.

24:17Those words don't mean anything unless they turn into action.

24:22And right now, not later today, not tomorrow, there's a child in the world who

24:27doesn't know if they'll eat, if they'll have a chance to learn, or if there's

24:33any hope at all. And while we're all busy, life keeps moving forward.

24:38But that child is waiting.

24:40This is where you come in.

24:42With Compassion International, you have the chance to change a child's future.

24:46Not just with words, not with promises, but with real help that provides food, education,

24:53and hope through local churches and people already in their community.

24:58Put your words into action and join me.

25:02Introduce a child to a loving Heavenly Father today at Compassion .com.

25:08That's Compassion .com. I want to move to Qatar real quick, and that is another

25:13big story here. Qatar is a country that's very interesting how they spend their money.

25:18They certainly do it to influence our opinion of them as a nation.

25:23That is something that's very important to them, and they spend millions and millions and

25:27millions of dollars on our universities trying to gain favor, to have people think of

25:31them in a positive light.

25:33Qatar is now hiring PR firms, big ones in D .C., to help cover and

25:40to whitewash them right now with their support of terrorist activities in the Middle East.

25:45Let's just expose that for everybody right now so you understand.

25:48And plus, Qatar has been interesting because it also deals with our friend, a guy

25:51by the name of Tucker Carlson.

25:53Yeah, look, Qatar is the number one foreign funder of U .S.

25:57universities. More than China, by the way, which is something that is a point, a

26:03massive asterisk, because China has also tried to buy a significant amount of influence in

26:07the U .S. and our universities as well.

26:08And think about the size of China and compare it to Qatar, and that tells

26:14you just how important Qatar believes getting the minds of our kids and our colleges

26:18to look at them in some positive way.

26:22Let's give you a sense of the scope.

26:24The number one foreign donor to U .S.

26:27universities is Qatar. Between 1986 and 2005, what do you think they've given?

26:34I want to say billions.

26:35Is that too much? $7 .7 billion with a billion.

26:39There you go. Yeah. You know how much they gave in 2025?

26:43How much? Over $1 billion.

26:45Yeah. They are flooding cash.

26:47Number two is China. Where do you think China is?

26:51I'm going to guess a little bit below them, but definitely close to a billion.

26:55Well, in terms of the overall window.

26:58I'll give you the 25 numbers in a second.

27:00In terms of the window, 86 to present, the total is $6 .4 billion.

27:05There you go. The next ones are Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Canada.

27:11Now, what about this last year?

27:15The most recent... Disclosures from 2025 and identify Qatar over 1 .1 billion, the United

27:22Kingdom over 633 million, China over 528 million, Switzerland over 451 million, Japan over 374

27:34million, Germany over 292 million, and Saudi Arabia over 285 million.

27:43The top university recipients of those foreign funds in 2025 are Carnegie Mellon, almost a

27:50billion dollars, MIT almost a billion dollars, Stanford over 775 million, and Harvard University over

28:00324 million. And if you look at the entire window from 1986 to the end

28:05of 2025, Harvard University has disclosed that it has received more money from counterparties located

28:13in countries of concern, which are countries that are enemies of America, than any other

28:19institution of higher education totaling over 610 million dollars.

28:25And Harvard is followed by MIT, 490 million, NYU 462 million, Stanford 418 million, and

28:34Yale University over 400 million.

28:37By the way, translation, our universities are for sale to the people that hate America

28:42the most. They are, and the list of those universities that receive the most money

28:48from the countries that hate us are almost exactly the list of the universities that

28:53had the worst anti -Semitic protest.

28:55I mean, Qatar knows what it's getting.

28:57$7 .7 billion ain't cheap.

29:01And, you know, what is fascinating on this also is you look at all the

29:08countries that invest real money, and if you look at that, the number one is

29:15Qatar, who, among other things, funds Hamas, do you know what country is not on

29:21the top 70 countries? What is that?

29:24Israel. Yeah. And I just want to say, for all the knuckleheads online, or it's

29:29like, oh, Israel runs everything, Israel's paying for everything, Israel's the money bags, it actually...

29:34Yeah, they're buying influence, yeah.

29:36It actually is really funny.

29:38If you look at the list of countries, I'm just going to read it in

29:41descending order, because I'm going to show you all the countries that put more money

29:44in U .S. universities than Israel does.

29:46Qatar, England, China, Saudi Arabia, Bermuda, Canada.

29:52Bermuda! Hong Kong, Japan, Switzerland, India, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, France, Singapore, Australia, Kuwait,

30:01Denmark, the Netherlands, Brazil, Sweden, South Korea, Spain, Norway, Thailand.

30:07Oh, there is Israel. I'm sorry, I misspoke.

30:09Israel falls right below Thailand, and below even Bermuda.

30:15There you go. That's where they fall, and I separately jumped online on AI to

30:22ask, you know, just how, where does Israel rank as a foreign funder of U

30:27.S. universities, and the answer from Google AI, Israel is not a top -tier foreign

30:33funder of U .S. universities by volume.

30:35While Middle Eastern nations like Qatar and Saudi Arabia have donated billions, Israel's contributed significantly

30:41less, with estimates of roughly $300 million in donations over the past 25 years, often

30:46focused on specific research or academic partnerships.

30:49And so it's just worth underscoring, because if you live in the twisted world of

30:56Twitter, and Twitter comments, you think Israel's paying for everything.

31:01Yeah. Yeah. And you'd think they'd be 10x Qatar or any other country.

31:06So there's a reason Qatar has hired these two Washington PR firms.

31:10So one of the firms, it's the Qatar Foundation, a state -run nonprofit that Doha

31:14uses to peddle influence in American higher education, hired the Washington Media Group at a

31:21rate of $40 ,000 per month.

31:23So good business to be a lobbyist.

31:26To provide, quote, strategic communication support that enhance public understanding of its long -standing academic

31:34partnerships with U .S. universities located in Education City, Qatar, according to the firm's March

31:4030th federal disclosure, registering it as a foreign agent.

31:44The Washington Media Group describes itself as, quote, a female and minority -owned company that

31:52crafts solutions to high -profile crises and protects and repairs reputations.

31:58Its CEO and president and the agent listed on the contract with the Qatar Foundation

32:04is a woman named Crystal Patterson, who has a long history of running digital strategy

32:10and communication for Democrats, such as Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, and former rep Tim Ryan.

32:17She worked for the left -wing Center for American Progress, focusing on, quote, immigration and

32:23diversity policy, according to her bio.

32:25In other words, immigration, let in more anti -American Islamists who hate America, so then

32:31they can destroy America like, sadly, they're destroying many of the countries of Europe.

32:36She also is a graduate of Northwestern University, which boasts a campus in Doha, in

32:42Qatar, that... holds a contract with Qatar forbidding its students and faculty from criticizing the

32:50Qatari regime. Let me repeat that.

32:54Northwestern has a campus in Qatar that holds a contract with Qatar forbidding its students

33:02and faculties from criticizing the Qatari regime.

33:05It makes sense. That's money well spent right there.

33:08Look, you can't bite the hand that feeds you.

33:12The Qatar Foundation also retained the law firm Venable at a monthly rate of $25

33:18,000 for government relations services pertaining to the public profile of the foundation.

33:25Venable will help ensure that members of Congress and the administration have an accurate understanding

33:31of Qatar Foundation's support for education and its work with U .S.

33:36universities. You know what? The fact that they're freaking out and hiring lobbyists is a

33:40good thing because people are on to them.

33:42By the way, these are the same guys that host the leadership of Hamas in

33:46Qatar. They live like billionaires.

33:48They live like kings. They fund Al Jazeera.

33:50They're spreading Islamist propaganda. They're supporting the Muslim Brotherhood.

33:56They're spreading anti -American garbage.

33:58They're spreading anti -Semitic garbage.

33:59They're funding these violent radicals on campuses, these communists on campus.

34:05By the way, and I will say, you know what Qatar also funded?

34:09What's that? Spies spying on me.

34:12It's been publicly reported. They hired spies.

34:15Look, they wanted to know what you were doing, sir.

34:18Yeah, I got to say, my life's pretty boring.

34:20So, you know, if you want to see me sitting at home at, at what

34:25time is it? Midnight? Yeah, it's, it's, it's one in the morning, sir.

34:28One in the morning. One in the morning.

34:30They could have hired me for 50 grand.

34:32I would have told them what you were doing at one in the morning.

34:34Doing vertical Ted Cruz. Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's really exciting.

34:38There is, you know, Heidi and the girls are sound asleep.

34:40And, and I'm in the room, sadly, not too far from the cat litter for,

34:45for our, our cats that, that, that Carolina doors.

34:48So the, the, their spies, I think are pretty bored right now.

34:52Yeah. 50 grand a month.
