Senator Ted Cruz
Welcome. It's verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Week in Review. Ben Ferguson with you. And I hope you had a fabulous time with your family over Thanksgiving. Now here are some of the stories that you may have missed this week.
- [00:14]
Ben Ferguson
That we talked about.
- [00:15]
Senator Ted Cruz
First up, China flooding TikTok with Osama bin Laden propaganda, getting young people to read his letter to America and then advocate for Osama bin Laden's viewpoint. How are we allowing this to happen in this country and around the world? We're going to dive into that and what this means with China trying to control the minds of young people all over the world. Up next, infrastructure. If you ask voters, it's something they're all in favor of better roads. But what happens when the roads turn into WOKE agenda items? Well, billions and billions of your tax dollars that were meant for infrastructure projects are now tied to WOKE initiatives and we'll expose that. And finally, education is changing in this country and that education that has nothing to do with reading, writing and arithmetic may be changing this nation forever. The senator will break down that warning for you as well. It's the week in review and it starts right now.

This goes into something else that I have to bring up and it's something that we've seen on TikTok. Now if you don't know what TikTok is, we've talked about this before. Quite quick recap. It's an app that a ton of people use that China, especially young people. Especially young people. And China uses it to influence young people specifically. We saw a unbelievable uptick on TikTok and there's data to back this up of pro Hamas videos, pro Hamas propaganda, anti Israel propaganda, pro Palestinian propaganda.
- [01:54]
Unnamed Speaker 2
A Harvard poll recently came out that said of Americans 18 to 24, 51% believe that Hamas's atrocities could be justified. 51% more than half of young people. And TikTok is affirmatively pushing this pro Hamas propaganda, this garbage to young people. And it has an enormous negative influence. And I wanna put on now one video from TikTok that went viral this week that shows just how cancerous and.
- [02:25]
Unnamed Speaker 1
It deals with Osama bin Laden so people understand the context of this. There was and this clearly is propaganda to meant to influence. And there was a letter that Osama bin Laden had put out before. It was I guess technically right before 911 or justifying the 911 attacks and explaining his thoughts on why he was doing 9 11. This letter decades later has gone viral only on TikTok. Go back to propaganda of China to influence young people to believe that somehow Osama bin Laden was justified in his 911 attack, the same way that they're justifying Hamas's attack on Israel. And this is what Americans are saying about reading this letter for the first time on TikTok.
- [03:11]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Look, so it starts with a woman.
- [03:14]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Me, when I got the news in.
- [03:15]
Unnamed Speaker 2
2011 that we got him, and she's.
- [03:17]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Celebrating then 2023, reading his letter to.
- [03:20]
Unnamed Speaker 2
America, knowing he was right.
- [03:21]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Osam bin Laden. That's what they're talking about.
- [03:23]
Unnamed Speaker 4
Actually, before you even read the letter, I did want to mention, in reading the letter, I could only think of this tweet that I saw the other day. Under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorist because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier. So please keep that in mind when reading the.
- [03:40]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Another young person.
- [03:42]
Unnamed Speaker 5
We really need to stop paying taxes because they ain't doing nothing but messing up everybody else, and America is the bully. And it's sad because they have brainwashed us to think that we was the best country in the plan on the planet, when in reality we're the worst country in the planet.
- [03:59]
Unnamed Speaker 4
It is just insane because this letter is so well written and so reasonably structured in an argument like, you got to present your findings. You got to, you know, you got to state your cause. All that, like, everything he said was valid.
- [04:18]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Everything Osama bin Laden said was valid. The guy before saying, we need to stop paying taxes because Osama bin Laden.
- [04:27]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Was right and we're the worst country in the world.
- [04:30]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Hashtag free Palestine. It's at the bottom. I don't know if you noticed that.
- [04:34]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Look, this is. All of these are young people. This is on TikTok. These young people are profoundly ignorant. They don't know anything. But they're also. TikTok is deliberately curated. The algorithm is controlled. The recommendation algorithm is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. I mentioned the last classified briefing I went to this week, Ben. So the topic of it was social media and disinformation. And so it included a number of folks from the government. This was a joint classified briefing with the Commerce Committee, where I'm the ranking Republican, and the Intelligence Committee. So we met together. And I can't tell you what they said, but I can't tell you the questions I asked because the questions I asked are not classified. And the question I asked, I said, what evidence do we have specifically that TikTok is affirmatively and deliberately pushing pro Hamas propaganda? We know that young people are moving dramatically in the direction of. Of Hamas. And to what extent is The CCP affirmatively doing that. And I'll tell you something again, I can't give you their answers, but I will tell you a data point which is TikTok defends itself by saying it keeps us customer data here in the United States, not in China. Although under its terms of service, the CCP has a right to access them at any time. You know what it doesn't keep here in the United States? It's recommendation algorithm. So the way TikTok operates, you're looking at TikTok, you watch a video, and then it suggests to you, hey, Ben, you would like this video based on.
- [06:18]
Unnamed Speaker 1
What you've seen before. So if you're looking at golf videos or tennis videos or football videos, you would assume they would keep you in the same type of algorithm.
- [06:25]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Well, a recommendation algorithm is one of the most potent tools social media has to drive content, to suppress content, or to drive content. And if you're engaged in propaganda, the recommendation algorithm is, is your most potent tool for it. The recommendation algorithm is not housed in the United States, it's housed in China. And China just recently passed a law that defined TikTok's recommendation algorithm as a, quote, national asset.
- [06:58]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Makes sense.
- [06:59]
Unnamed Speaker 2
It is an asset of China. And they have developed a global propaganda tool that in particular targets American young people. And so they can decide on any given day, what message do we want to put to young people? They can just on a Tuesday say, let's just push messages that hurt American young people. So let's push to young girls and teenage girls, body image problems, and push anorexia and eating disorders, and let's push self harm, let's push cutting, let's push suicide, let's push drug use, let's push all sorts of things that will just hurt young people. And they do that tragically every day. But they can also decide politically, okay, we don't want the United States exploring for oil and gas, so let's push green New Deal garbage to tell them.
- [07:46]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Go stop fracking, go stop this, go stop this.
- [07:49]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Be dependent on Iran, be dependent on Russia, be dependent on Venezuela, be dependent on our enemies for oil and gas. They can push that message to young people. Or if they just want to push pro Hamas propaganda, they can, in this instance, you have young people.
- [08:08]
Unnamed Speaker 1
And this went viral to a level of millions and millions and millions of millions of impressions.
- [08:12]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Over 14 million last I saw.
- [08:14]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah, and that's just people that were posting their own videos after reading this letter that came out of nowhere from, from, from 2001, from Osama bin Laden and the majority of it was all positive towards Osama bin Laden.
- [08:27]
Unnamed Speaker 2
And you got to. I mean, this is something. As you know, I'm at the tail end of a two week book tour, so I've been. I think I've done 77 media interviews in the last two weeks. On the new book Unwoke. I've been talking about this a lot because particularly people of the left are confused. Why is there such vicious anti Semitism among the left?
- [08:50]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah.
- [08:51]
Unnamed Speaker 2
And I want to.
- [08:52]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Let's pull this up again.
- [08:53]
Unnamed Speaker 2
I want to pull it up and freeze it midway through because it really does explain it profoundly. Okay, so this is the first woman on the second person. Just freeze it when the second person comes up. Okay. Freeze it right here. All right, so this is a tiktoker. It is kind of a young hipster wearing like, I don't know, a shower cap of some kind with pearls.
- [09:17]
Unnamed Speaker 1
He's going swimming afterwards.
- [09:19]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Right. I don't know. But this is important.
- [09:23]
Unnamed Speaker 2
So I've been explaining and the book Unwoke explains this at depth. So Marxism is the doctrine enunciated by Karl Marx in the Communist Manifesto that explains views the world as a fundamental conflict between oppressors and victims. Marx put it in socioeconomic terms. So the oppressors were the owners of capital. The victims were the proletariat, the working men and women. The solution Marx advocated was violent revolution by the proletariat overthrowing the oppressors. I describe in the book Unwoke how Marxists infiltrated the universities in the 1960s and 70s. And then that doctrine mutated. It mutated to critical race theory, which has the same basic frame, the Marxist.
- [10:10]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Frame of oppressor and victim, but instead.
- [10:13]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Of socioeconomic, it's race.
- [10:14]
Unnamed Speaker 3
So there are oppressor races and victim races.
- [10:17]
Unnamed Speaker 2
I described how it mutated to be gender and gender identity and sexual orientation.
- [10:22]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Same idea of oppressor and victim.
- [10:24]
Unnamed Speaker 2
And the idea is violence, revolution. Anything is justified if it is the victim overthrowing the oppressor. Now this TikTok video, the text of the tweet he has says, under settler colonialism, any kind of resistance is branded as terrorism because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier.
- [10:50]
Unnamed Speaker 3
That is straight up Marxism.
- [10:51]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Yeah.
- [10:52]
Unnamed Speaker 2
And it is explaining why, as I told this left leaning tech executive, the reason the left is celebrating Hamas is they have defined Jews as oppressors, they have defined Hamas as victims.
- [11:08]
Unnamed Speaker 3
And so they're in favor of violence.
- [11:11]
Unnamed Speaker 2
By the victims against the oppressors.
- [11:14]
Unnamed Speaker 3
And that includes mass murder.
- [11:15]
Unnamed Speaker 2
That Includes targeting civilians. That includes murdering elderly people.
- [11:19]
Unnamed Speaker 3
That includes raping women and little girls.
- [11:22]
Unnamed Speaker 2
In the public streets.
- [11:23]
Unnamed Speaker 3
That includes slaughtering infants.
- [11:25]
Unnamed Speaker 2
That includes, as we discussed, literally putting a baby in an oven. Yeah, and raping that baby's mother while the baby cooks to death and the mother is being raped and listening to her infant die in an oven being cooked to death.
- [11:51]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Now that is unmitigated evil. That is Nazi like.
- [11:55]
Unnamed Speaker 2
That is a level of grotesque evil that defies words. And yet to the cultural Marxist and to these young idealistic imbeciles, they're cheering for the terrorist.
- [12:10]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Why?
- [12:11]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Because it says here, well, under settler colonialism, and mind you, in their mind.
- [12:15]
Unnamed Speaker 3
It'S the Jews that are the bad settler colonialists.
- [12:19]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Any kind of resistance, so, you know, baking a baby in an oven, that's a kind of resistance, is branded as terrorist. Well, no, terrorism is targeting civilians.
- [12:30]
Unnamed Speaker 3
I've got to say, slaughtering infants qualifies.
- [12:32]
Unnamed Speaker 2
As terrorism because the only acceptable violence is violence by the occupier. The reason these young people are so susceptible to this TikTok propaganda is because cultural Marxism has been taught to them.
- [12:50]
Unnamed Speaker 3
From the womb, has been taught to.
- [12:52]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Them in kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, fifth grade, all the way through school, has been taught to them in college, has been taught to them through social media, has been taught to them through entertainment.
- [13:03]
Unnamed Speaker 3
They're told, once we say someone is.
- [13:05]
Unnamed Speaker 2
The victim and someone is the oppressor, we cheer for violence, for any horrible.
- [13:12]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Evil against the oppressor, because that's the.
- [13:15]
Unnamed Speaker 2
Marxist revolution we support.
- [13:17]
Ben Ferguson
Now, if you want to hear the.
- [13:18]
Senator Ted Cruz
Rest of this conversation, you can go.
- [13:20]
Ben Ferguson
Back and listen to the full podcast from earlier this week.
- [13:24]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Now on to story number two.
- [13:26]
Senator Ted Cruz
Biden's infrastructure spending has now gone woke. It's, it's. It's a great moment to pause and remind people, if you're Black Friday shopping, grab the center's new book, Unwoke. You can grab it, it's a bestseller. You can get it on Amazon or wherever you get your books, unless you're at a bookstore in California. Apparently they don't like it very much out there in California, the bookstores, but you can grab it wherever you get your books. I love this part of censorship. By the way, center, there are quite a few bookstores. I've talk to friends who have gone into bookstores, your book's a bestseller. And if you're in the wrong part of the country, in a more liberal woke part of the country, there's a very good chance you cannot find a hard copy of your book in a bookstore, which is maddening to me, especially since it is a bestseller.
- [14:10]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Well, it is one of the many examples how corporate America is woke.
- [14:15]
Unnamed Speaker 2
As you know, two weeks ago I.
- [14:17]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Was in LA to shoot Bill Maher and talk about the book and I actually met some friends in LA who went to try to buy the book and they went to a Barnes and Noble in LA and they didn't have a single copy of the book there. And they asked them, okay, search the system. And it turned out there was not one copy of my book. This is what they were told in any Barnes and Noble in the entire city of Los Angeles. And they had to actually drive to Long beach, which they did, to get several copies of the books, because it was only the Barnes and Noble in Long beach that had the copies. And throughout la they weren't there. Sadly, we're hearing reports of that. There was also a letter to the editor this past week in the Dallas Morning News complaining that the big box stores, which have lots and lots of books of other books that you can't find unwoak, even though, as you noted, it is a bestseller, was at the top of the bestseller list. And yet the major bricks and mortar retail outlets are very reluctant to carry it. And when they do carry it, they certainly don't put it out on the table in front, they put it off in the back. The good news is you can order it online. So I would encourage you go online and order it. And you mentioned what came out this past week. And what came out this past week also is racist roads and WOKE infrastructure, which may sound absurd, but it's something I discuss at considerable length in the book on woke. And in June, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced that the Department of Transportation had started accepting applications for the National Infrastructure Project Assistance, Infrastructure for Rebuilding America and the Rural Surface Transportation grant programs. These three programs together received $5.6 billion under the so called Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. And the Department of Transportation under Buddha Judge said the grants that would be awarded would support, quote, transformational infrastructure projects across the nation. But the notice of Funding opportunity issued states that recipients must broadly address, quote, equity and climate concerns. And further, it says, quote, projects that have not sufficiently considered the equity and barriers to opportunity in their planning as determined by the Department will be required to do so before receiving funds for construction. Quote, projects that have not sufficiently considered climate change and environmental justice in their planning as determined by the Department, will be required to do so before receiving funds for construction. Now, mind you, what they're saying is if you're actually building roads, if you're actually building freeways, then that is is not sufficient. And, and in fact Pete Buddha judge made news in 2021 when he said, quote, there is racism physically built into some of our highways. Now that is idiotic. And I would note that the DOT grants also additionally target so DOT policies frame road building. Here's what they call road building, quote, increasing automobile dependence. And so they condemn highway expansion projects that don't involve electric vehicle charging stations or bike lanes. So it is. Remember there was a lot of hoopla over all the money to be spent on infrastructure and roads and bridges.
- [18:04]
Senator Ted Cruz
Oh yeah.
- [18:05]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Well it turns out Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg don't actually want roads and bridges. Instead, they have a woke agenda. Now here's the good news, which is that I sent, I sent a request for a determination as to whether this announcement constitutes a rule and receive that determination, which means that it is subject to being overturned by Congress by a simple majority vote. And so I intend to introduce that resolution of disapproval to force a vote in the Senate. Now Biden can veto that vote, but in the Senate we're going to see if all the people who trumpeted the infrastructure program support blocking them from going to roads and bridges unless they are sufficiently woke and fighting racist roads, whatever the hell that is.
- [19:07]
Senator Ted Cruz
When people hear this and they hear racist roads as you just described it there, and you talk about billions upon billions of taxpayers dollars that's meant for these infrastructure projects that are now just being turned in these woken agenda items. How many members of Congress are behind this as well? Because yes, it's a Biden administration initiative, but you still got to have some congresspeople behind you. Is this just the part of now where we are in politics where they look at you, they'll say this is for infrastructure straight up lie to you and then waste billions of your dollars on woke agenda items like this.
- [19:44]
Unnamed Speaker 3
Well, listen, a lot of the left wing Democrats in Congress are emphatically behind this. So the Bernie Sanders, the Elizabeth Warrens, the AOCs are cheering this on because this is the agenda they want. I will say there are a number of Republicans who you know, are a little bit like Charlie Brown with Lucy and the football. They listen to Democrats who say okay, let's work together on something like roads and bridges. And the Republicans are like, oh yeah, yeah, roads and bridges. Those sound really good. And they write into law funding for roads and bridges. Now the left wing Democrats they're negotiating with know fully well they're pulling the football away and Charlie Brown is landing on his ass. They know that. But these Republicans are just gullible and they fall into it over and over and over again. And if they weren't gullible, they would have written into the statute prohibitions on the Biden administration doing this. Because you and I knew the Biden administration was going to do this. Because that's who they are. They are cultural Marxists. It's why I wrote the book Unwoke, to lay out what what it means. The radicals who have taken over our government, and we have too many Republicans in Congress who are fundamentally naive, and they just keep running and trying to kick that football and the problem keeps getting worse and worse.
- [21:02]
Senator Ted Cruz
As before, if you want to hear.
- [21:03]
Unnamed Speaker 1
The rest of this conversation on this.
- [21:05]
Ben Ferguson
Topic, you can go back and download the podcast from earlier this week to.
- [21:09]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Hear the entire thing.
- [21:11]
Senator Ted Cruz
I want to get back to the Big Story Number three of the week.
- [21:14]
Ben Ferguson
You may have missed. You mentioned education and how it's the easiest way to change a country in one generation. But there was also one of the things you said. On page 64 it says how to fight back, he said. A few years ago you walked in to your daughter's bedroom and asked what she'd been learning about in school. She said she had been learning about Christopher Columbus, the quote unquote real story. I asked what that meant. For the next few minutes I heard about the crimes of Christopher Columbus in minute detail. Every murdered Native American transmitted disease and stolen acre of land seemed to be accounted for. I heard that Columbus, who claimed the land for himself because he his straight white privilege or something like that, had not actually discovered anything at all, but rather had landed on the shores of what would come to be known as America by accident. This quote unquote revolution, familiar to most adults in the United States, is something that American children encounter sooner or later in a textbook, believing that they've accessed some secret hidden knowledge that the grownups don't want them to have. That moment for me is the moment that terrifies me for our kids and this my kids generation is that we have handed our children over to the school systems. And it's not just public schools now, it's private schools as well, who are indoctrinating them in this idea that America somehow was started started on evil, bad motives and that you should not love this country, but you should be ashamed of this country. And you had to deal with this with your own daughter.
- [22:51]
Unnamed Speaker 6
Look, that's exactly right. And the problem is this indoctrination is happening in every school in America. It's happening to every child in America. And what I described part of the way this book is all about how we fight back. But, you know, as she was saying that Columbus was evil and racist and genocidal and terrible, and she hated Christopher Columbus. You know, I just, Just sat down in her bedroom and I tried to have a conversation with her, and I said, look, I'm not deeply vested in making the argument that Christopher Columbus was some incredible hero, but. But I said, you know what? We do have a federal holiday named after him. Do we typically name federal holidays after evil, racist, genocidal maniacs? Like, might there be another side to the story? Is there anything admirable about him? And she was not. Not really able to see much that was admirable. I said, well, what do you think about getting in three rickety wooden ships and leaving Europe and heading west when you think you're falling off the edge of the world to explore and discover? I mean, I mean, is that spirit, that intrepid spirit, is that anything to be admired? And I said, secondly, look, it is true that Columbus and the men who traveled with him, that they carried some germs that were new to the Western hemisphere, and that when they got here, some of the Native Americans died from those germs. Now, it's also true. It was the 15th century. They didn't know what a germ was, so they didn't know they were carrying it. And. And when you accuse him of mass murder, does culpability matter? Does the fact that they didn't know what a germ was, they had no idea they were doing it, is that at all relevant? If you're going to call him this evil, terrible murderer? And what I talk about in the book is not long thereafter, which is Thanksgiving of that year, we were talking about Thanksgiving, and she and a friend of hers from school, and this is when they were in grade school, said, likewise, oh, Thanksgiving is terrible. It's when the Pilgrims were oppressing the Native Americans. And, you know, again, I made the argument, I think, even more vigorously this time. And I said, listen, it is certainly right that the settlers that came to America, that they settled America and they ultimately conquered America and they committed some terrible acts to Native Americans.
- [25:18]
Unnamed Speaker 3
But if you look at the history.
- [25:20]
Unnamed Speaker 6
Of humanity in every continent, every nation was acquired by conquest. And every time there's conquest, you have one group of people who are conquering another group of people. By the way, in the United States, before we were the United States, the Native Americans, one tribe conquered another, conquered another, conquered another. And you look at Europe, you look at Asia.
- [25:40]
Unnamed Speaker 3
That's the history of humanity.
- [25:42]
Unnamed Speaker 6
One group of people conquering another. And anytime you have conquest, there are horrible things that happen. There are terrible things that are done. But I said, look, in any war, there were atrocities on both sides. And, you know, I asked my daughter, I said, you know, from whence do you think the verb to scalp was derived? The Native Americans did some horrible things to the settlers who came here also. And the connection that I made for her and that I make in the book is those two discussions are interlinked and intertwined, which is for all of the teachers and all of the professors and all of the people advocating that Columbus was evil and advocating that Thanksgiving is evil because the Pilgrims were stealing from the Native Americans. It comes down to one antecedent question. Was the settlement of the New World a good thing or a bad thing? Was the formation of the United States of America good or bad? And I'm not neutral or ambivalent on that question.
- [26:49]
Unnamed Speaker 3
I think the United States of America has been the greatest force for good.
- [26:53]
Unnamed Speaker 6
Of any nation in the history of the world. That we have produced more prosperity, more abundance. We have liberated more prisoners and captives. We have shed our blood and treasure and tears fighting tyranny more than any nation in the history of the world. Do we have our flaws? Yes, of course. Do we have our problems? Yes, of course. But America, I believe, like Reagan said, is a shining city on a hill. And I want to make a special request of our Verdict listeners. You guys are incredible. You guys are patriots. You guys give me hope and optimism in America. I want to ask every one of you, please, today, when you finish listening to this podcast, most of you are listening on your cell phones. Click over to Amazon, type in Unwoke, and buy the book. Right now, we have nearly a million unique listeners who listen to Verdict. If every one of you goes online and buys the book, it would soar to the very tops of the New.
- [27:57]
Unnamed Speaker 3
York Times bestseller list.
- [27:58]
Unnamed Speaker 1
Amen.
- [27:59]
Unnamed Speaker 3
That would drive them nuts, by the way.
- [28:02]
Unnamed Speaker 6
And I wrote this book for the same reason, Ben, that you and I do. This podcast. It is right now 11:03pm on Tuesday night. The podcast will come out early Wednesday morning. Why am I sitting here at 1103? Why are you sitting here at 1103? Because we care about this. We want. We want our incredible listeners to be armed with information and know how to fight to save this country. And this book is exactly in the same spirit. The book is, I think, interesting and fun. It's not some abstract academic treatise, but it's designed. When you read it, you'll enjoy it. And by the way, I'd encourage you. Look, if I can be immodest for a second, don't buy just one. You know, Christmas is coming up very soon. Buy a copy for your mom, Buy a copy for your brother. Buy a copy for your next door neighbor, your best friend. Because the reason that I spend the time to write these books, the reason that you and I do this podcast, is we either persuade and win hearts and minds or we lose America. That's what the stakes are and that's what this book is about. It's the exact same thing the podcast is about.
