Potential Terrorists STILL Entering US in Biden's Last Days plus Bernie & the Oligarchs-Sen Cruz Weighs In · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: There are still people as we speak right now coming
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: across our southern border that are potential terrorists and those
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that are showing up on the territs watch list.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: How do we know this because we have.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: New news on four Iranian and two Egyptian nationals that
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: were caught illegally crossing our southern border over the weekend. Now,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: before I get you to that story, I want to
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: go back to twenty twenty one when this was a
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: big moment of a red flag for this administration to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: shut down the southern border because agents were apprehending potential
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: terrorists coming across the southern border ABC five out of Arizona.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: This was their story at the time. This is again
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty one.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Cody you. Mus Sector Border Patrol agents have
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: arrested a potential terrorist. According to UMUS Sector Border Patrol agents,
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: the suspect was twenty one years old. They made the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: arrest on Thursday and say he was arrested after entering
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the us I legally.
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: They believe he is a.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Migrant from Saudi Arabia, linked to several Yemeni subjects of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: interest and a possible terrorist. When he has not been identified,
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: he was wearing a Central County Volunteer jacket, which is
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: an ambulance county out of New York. News four to
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Tucson reached out to that company, who says the suspect
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: is not connected to their organization.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: I'm unsure of how he obtained it. We have policies
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: in place when a playe leaves and planet that we
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: retrieve all the property. But that particular jacket was used
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: for about ten years, which was well before my time.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: So in of course a ten years wanted to have
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: probably slip through the cracks.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: We reached out to CBP and are still awaiting their response.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Now I love that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: In twenty two I'm like, ah, you know some terrorists,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: may you know I actually fall through the cracks there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: But it's nothing big, nothing you should actually worry about.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Everything's totally fine. Then there was the other warning that
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: came out, and it was a big warning, this happening again.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And this was the US Border Patrol chief telling the
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Trump administration back in twenty sixteen that you are inheriting
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: a disaster from Barack Obama and the number of AsSalt
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: on Border Patrol agents had gone up two hundred percent
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: last year. The final year of Obama in office. Again
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: another warning.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: Good morning, Chairman Johnson, Rankimen Macarper, and distinguished members of
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to allow us
• 2:34
  Speaker 5: to talk today about the United States Border Patrol. During
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: my first four months of chief, I've had the privilege
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: to travel to eleven sectors to meet with thousands of
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: the United States Border Patrol agents, staff, and leadership from
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: the Northern, Southern, and coastal borders, as well as the
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: United States portol Academy headquarters here in DC, the Canine
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Training Facility, and our Special Operations Group in La Paso.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: And all these interactions across the country, one thing was
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: consistent and abundantly clear. The men and women of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: United States bord Patrol have one of the toughest jobs
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: in federal law enforcement. They are the most assaulted federal
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: law enforcement in the United States. More than seven four
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: hundred Border toll agents have been assaulted since two thousand
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: and six. That rose in FY sixteen by twenties percent,
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: and year to date we're seeing the increase of assaults
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: of two hundred percent from the previous year to date.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: It's a dangerous job, and since my short time here.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Two Bordertal agents have already been killed in the line
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: of duty, Agent Manny Avarez and David Gomes. They are
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: faced with unforgiving terrain and weather, limited resources, long hours,
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: adverse conditions, and they're often called upon to go above
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: and beyond what they've been trained to do. They are
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: tenacious in the pursuit of getting better. They're innovative, and
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: they have a can do attitude. They are dedicated to
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: the mission this country themselves and doing something greater than themselves.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Honored to be serving with them. These these are my
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: first and most important observations of my first four months here.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: That is what they walked into. Trump did everything could
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to fix that problem. So let's fast forward to the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: headlines from today. Not only have we demonized border patrol
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: agents over the last four years, we've accused them of,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: for example, like acting like slave owners. Remember when they
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: were on the horse and they were whipping illegal immigrants.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Even though it was the angle the picture was taken,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: it never happened.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Remember that.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Remember how the White House came out immediately condemning the
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: actions of the border patrol agents. Right the left came
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: out and they were condemning the actions of the border
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: patrol agents. Remember all that, Yeah, and then there was
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: more warnings, Hey, there's terrorists coming across the border.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Now we don't care about that. Is it so happening? Absolutely?
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Four Iranian and two Egyptian nationals have been now caught
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: illegally crossing the southern US border. US Border patrol agents
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: announced the arrest of six unique migrants caught crossing the
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: US southern border on Monday, January the sixth. United States
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: por Patrol Chief Jason Owens announced the apprehensions of these
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: of the four Iranian and two Egyptian nationals attempting to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: illegally enter the US near El Paso. Nothing to see here, right,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: This is totally fine, No news here, Everything's good, right.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Significant arrests is how they described as they announced that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: last week the United States por Patrol agents in Olpaso
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: apprehended four Ranian and two Egyptian nationals, all special interest
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: migrants attempting to avoid detection. Record checks revealed prior attempted
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: legal entries. They remain in custom will be processed accordingly
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: upon the apprehensions of these quote special interest migrants, meaning
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: we believe there's a good chance that they could be
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: connected to terrorism or terrorist groups.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Records check to.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Revealed prior attempted legal entries into the United States of America.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: The circumstances of their prior entries and the United States,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: as well as personal or potential criminal histories are unclear
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: quote unquote. At this time, we're we're working to learn
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: more about the situation.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: They announce.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Now, this is what has happened while Donald Trump has
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not been in office. The left is decided to open
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: the border, allow everyone to come in, and whoever they
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: want to let in, we let them stay. We look
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: the other way, and that's what they do. It is sad,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: it is sick. It is also putting American lives at risk.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We continue to see right now this administration have a
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: wide open border policy, and the policy is going to
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: stay into effect until January the twentieth. Now it's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to change drastically. But when you look at these types
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: of individuals coming across the southern border, if they're not
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in here now, I'm sure the terror slite get there
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: fast in the first few days or weeks the Trump administration,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: while they're trying to get a secure border back up
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: and running it's going to take time. And this is
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: the vulnerability that has happened and been caused by the
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Biden and Harris administration refusing to keep us safe. You
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: go back to action. Speak louder than words. Sometimes, yes,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that is true. But what Donald Trump's actions from four
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: years ago proved is that his words now when he speaks,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: others respond and react accordingly because they know he's not
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: screwing around. And so when Donald Trump comes out there
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and tells you you better release the hostages Hamas and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the terrorist groups around the world, they understand he's not
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: lying like they get it, folks. They completely understand this
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: threat from Donald Trump, and they understand that they're probably
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: gonna die if they don't do what Donald Trump says,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: which is you better release the hostages before I'm sworn in,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: because if I am the president, there will be hell
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: to pay. One other thing that is interesting, that's breaking
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: news right now. Tom Homan set down and was asked
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: a question about birthright citizenship as he is coming in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to deal with the illegal immigration issue, and this is
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: what he said.
• 8:19
  Speaker 6: Should birthright citizenship come to an end, I'll leave that
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: up to the president make that decisions.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: But what's your opinion you think of ship.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: I'll say this birthright citizenship is a major driver of
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: illegal and garson And that's what the whole controversy is
• 8:35
  Speaker 6: about right now. Right if you're coming to the country legally,
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: which is a crime, you get ordered, you lose your hearing,
• 8:40
  Speaker 6: that federal judge says you must go home or you
• 8:42
  Speaker 6: don't show up in court, and you get what they
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: called order and absent you you order removed and have
• 8:47
  Speaker 6: a US citizen child. People think there should be mute.
• 8:51
  Speaker 6: It'll all means nothing to you now, because you knew
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: you're in the country legally, you chose to have an
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: illegal aling. I mean, you chose to have a US
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: citizen child knowing you're in the country, knowing your order deported,
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: and you wouldn't made that decision. That's on you.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: That's on you.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Notice how everything is changing before he's even sworn in,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And they're going to keep lying to you and they're
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: going to try to undermine Donald Trump. But the fact
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: is Donald Trump is feared by the terrorists as much
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: as he's feared apparently now by the Democratic Party in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the media. And it is going to be really fun
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to watch one of the confirmation hearings that actually really
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: isn't one that's like very sexy, is actually a really
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: important one, and it is of Scott be sent to
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: be the Secretary of the Treasury. He had a very
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: interesting back and forth with Bernie Sanders. Now, Bernie Sanders'
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: premise is that there's too many people at the top
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that have all the money.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: We need to break them up.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: And there's bad people out there like mister Moss, mister Bezos,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: and mister Zuckerberg of Facebook. Bezos Amazon also owns The
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Washington Post, and so now they're angry.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: They're also angry about Rupert Burdock, they say, because Ruper.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Moriok has power and they can't control him, and he
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: owns Fox News Channel. You get the rhythm here, right,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You understand how this is going. So take a listen
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: to the response from the guy who's gonna be the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Treasury secretary. And if you look at his job as
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Treasury secretary, what Bernie Sanders is saying is you, as
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Treasury secretary, your job should be one hundred percent political,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: and you should go after people that have too much money,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: and you should attack them for having too much money,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: like he's wanting to weaponize the Treasury Secretary to go
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: after and to attack the wealthiest people in this country
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and to hold people down who make their money in
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: the private sector or build something great like Tesla for example,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: or Amazon. By the way, if you made Amazon, I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: don't care about politics just in general. This is like
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: a blunt statement that I think most sane people would
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: agree with.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: If you started.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Amazon, something that everybody I know uses like every day,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: I think you should be insanely rich because you did
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a once in a lifetime maybe once in a century.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Thing and it worked.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: It's which is incredible, Like it's truly unbelievable.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: That's number one.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: If you do something like Facebook, I think you should
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: be insanely rich because you created something that's once in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a lifetime or once in a century century, and I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: think you should deserve to be insanely wealthy for that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: If you create an electric vehicle that turns it into
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: mainstream and people buy it, and this is just like
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: one of the ways made money, but it's a pretty
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: big one.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I would hope that you were insanely wealthy.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Just like if you were the Ford family and you
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: created four cars and trucks in F one fifties like
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the Ford Mustang. I think you should be insanely rich,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: and I have no problem with you being insanely rich
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: in that scenario. But what Bernie Sanders is saying is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: we only allow you to stay rich if you support us,
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: and if you don't support us, then we want to
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: take away your money. That is what communists, socialists, Marxists do.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: That's no different than the Russian oligarchs that we have
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: in Russia, where if you give money back and you
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: support Vladimir Putin, then there is a group of oligarchs
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: that prop him up and then he allows him to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: make ungodly amounts of money that is completely different than
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: what we have in this country. And the three people
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: that he just described are four people we just described.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So again, the Treasury Secretary nominee is like, dude, this
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: isn't my job and this is really messed up what
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: you're saying. He doesn't say it that way. He's obviously
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: going through confirmation. He's going to say it a little
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: bit differently. But I want you to listen carefully to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: his words.
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: I enjoyed or visit, and I hope you got my
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: follow up material on the discussions might predicious writings on
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: the terrorists and China and the three billionaires who you
• 13:13
  Speaker 7: listed that all made the money themselves. Mister Musk came
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: to the country as an immigrant.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: I understand that. But what I'm asking you is when
• 13:25
  Speaker 8: you have a handful of people like Musk who will
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: soon be part of the Trump administration and others, When
• 13:33
  Speaker 8: you have three people owning more wealth than the bottom
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: half of American society, when these people have enormous influence
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: over the media, when they spend huge amounts of money
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: in both political parties to elect candidates. What Biden said
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy. I'm asking
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: you that question. Do you think, forget how they made
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: their money. Do you think that when so few people
• 13:56
  Speaker 8: have so much wealth and so much economic and political power,
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: that that it's an oligockic form of society.
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: Well, I wouldn't note that they. President Biden gave the
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: Presidential Medal of Freedom to two people who I think
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: would qualify for his oligarchs.
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: So this is not a condemnation of any one individual.
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: I'm just asking you when so few people have so
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: much wealth and power, But do you think that that
• 14:24
  Speaker 8: is an oligackic form of society.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: Senator, I think it depends on the ability to move
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: up and down the end.
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: No, that's not really dancer. I mean, even if you
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: had the mobility, no matter who those individuals might be.
• 14:40
  Speaker 8: All right, But let me ask you another question.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: I love how I moved on because he obviously got
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: smacked around there. Like what you heard there from the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: nominee was, Hey, Biden, like, you know, giving metal freedoms
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: to oligarchs, Like you want to stop that, Like it's
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: a really strong point. You maybe want to, like, you know,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: not blackmail people. Hey, you want to be successful, We'll
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: let you, but only if you give us a bunch
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of your money so that we can run for election
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: re election. That is the standard that Bernie Sanders is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: saying for you to stay in good favor with the
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: United States government.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: And what loses you is.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: If you actually think for yourself and you're not an oligarch.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: You go back to the threat that Joe Biden made,
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: and the threat that Joe Biden made was one that
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: was I think clear. He's saying, we've lost power, and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: those that are still around in power, you need to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: do what you need to do now to go after
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the wealthy people out there that are no longer under
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: our thumb, like this is insane. In his farewell address
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: to the country, he is warning his radical supporters that
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: are in the government that you better do your best
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: now to attack people. You better go out there and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: and really hammer these people that are now a threat
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to our power, not to America, but to our power.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Whether it's a threat of climate change, he says, has
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: never been clear. And you better go after anybody in
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: the own gas industry. It's like it's a hit list.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: That's that's what this is. It's a hit list. And
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: Senator Tim Kaine, if you don't think this is who
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: he was talking to, the ones that are still in power,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: listen to what Tim Kaine said on see It End,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: because he heard the he heard the call, he heard
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: the trumpet that is like we still have to go
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: to war with conservatives and try to shut them down.
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: And Senator I forgive me, I'm covering a lot of ground.
• 16:47
  Speaker 9: But President Biden did address the nation last night from
• 16:49
  Speaker 9: the Oval Office. He talked about his fear that an
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: oligarchy is taking over this country, uh that there is
• 16:57
  Speaker 9: a tech industrial complex that has too much influence in
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: this country. He offered some pretty stark warnings for the nation.
• 17:06
  Speaker 9: As Donald Trump is about to return to the White House.
• 17:08
  Speaker 9: What did you make of that?
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: You know, the comments really echoed in my mind. It
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: reminded me of something, and it reminded me of what
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: President Eisenhower said.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: As he was leaving office.
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: This general who led us to victory in World War Two,
• 17:23
  Speaker 10: warned America that a military industrial complex could have too
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: much impact on American politics and push us into needless
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: military expenditures and even hostilities that we shouldn't be in.
• 17:36
  Speaker 10: Those were very precient words then, and I don't know
• 17:39
  Speaker 10: if President Biden was sort of consciously echoing those or not.
• 17:43
  Speaker 10: I know he is sincerely worried about it, and I
• 17:45
  Speaker 10: think a lot of Americans are. You think there's an
• 17:48
  Speaker 10: oligarchy that's taking over in this country. You know that
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: I am worried about the power of these of the
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: tech bros, who you know, have a lot of time
• 17:58
  Speaker 10: on their hands because they have so many millions, and
• 18:01
  Speaker 10: they want to get involved in politics, and they usually
• 18:03
  Speaker 10: want to get involved in politics to feather their own nests.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Ooh, the tech bros. You hear the marketing here. It's
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: pretty good marketing. Right, Let's label them the tech bros.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Who's he talking about. He's talking about Elon Musk and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Mark Zuckerberg. He's talking about those two. And what he's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: saying to democrats is and also to them, is you
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: guys better not go.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Too far to freedom of speech and to.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: True freedom on your networks, because if you do, we
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: will come after you. We will weaponize our government to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: come against you. By the way, this is what Zuckerberg
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: said in his interview. He said, dude, like, they told
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: us that we need to start silencing and censoring people,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: and then when we didn't respond the way they wanted to,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: they then had the entire US government come after to us.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: So then he says, like, then, I'm basically a little
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: wis and I just gave in and did whatever they
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: told me to do. I silenced anybody they wanted me
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: to silence. I shut down anything they wanted me to
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: shut down. I did whatever they told I was there,
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: bitch like.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: That's what I was. And now I'm going to tell
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you that that's what I was.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: But you should understand why, because I'm just a billionaire
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: that didn't want everything to go away instead of actually
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: fighting back. And what they're saying now is, oh, so,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: now that conservatives are in charge, you're going to tell
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: this side of the story. Well, guess what, you better
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: shut up and get back in line, because one day
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we're going to be back in charge, and when we're
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: in charge, we're going to use the Treasury Secretary to
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: come after you. We're going to use the FBI to
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: come after you. We're going to use the dj to
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: come after you. We're going to do to you what
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: we did to Donald Trump. That is the warning out
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: of this Treasury Secretary moment here, And I think everybody
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: that hears this should be really really concerned over what
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: you just hurt, because they're telling you if you give
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: them power again, they are going to lock up their
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: political enemies and it's not going to be at the top,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be anybody with money in the middle. That's
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the warning, and it's a threat. And I actually believe
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: them when they say this is their threat, like I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: actually believe that they are not lying to you and
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: I when they make this threat. They're not lying to
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: these individuals they named outright with this threat, and I
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: think Bezos will probably get back in line. I think
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Zuckerberg is probably gonna play it. Whoever's in power, he's
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: going to play to them. I think Elon can't be bought,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and I think Murdoch says, hey, I'm old enough, screw you.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I'm still going to do Fox News Channel. But they're
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: sending a very clear precedent and signal for the future.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You don't do what we want you to do even
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: when we're not in power. Know what we're going to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: do to you when we are in power, and it's
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: going to get nasty. Center Cruse and I we do
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: our podcast that we do together called Vertic with Ted Cruz,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: and every once in while we have something like this,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I play part of it here because it's important. I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: want you to hear it, and I want you to
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: hear what Senata Cruz had to say about this back
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and forth in this really important commitment.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully to his words.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: It is also goes back to this other narrative when
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: we heard it from the President of the United States
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: of America the other night, he was obsessed with this
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: idea of oligarchs. I actually think this was a little
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: bit different, and Bernie Sanders started naming names when he
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: was doing the confirmation hearing for the man who's up
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: for Treasury secretary, and I want to get your take,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: and we're going to play Bernie. But one of the
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: things I felt was really kind of icky about this
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: was the fact that it's like, hey, we're warning some
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: of you that have stepped out of line from the
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: Democratic Party that we're coming after you when we get
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: our power back if you step out too far into
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: the conservative side of things. And that's why we're warning
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: you that if we name you as a an oligark,
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: then if we get our when we get our power back,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: there's going to be some sort of hell to pay.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: And you better be careful how much you work with
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump and you support freedom of speech and you
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: support freedom of expression online and the able the ability
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: to post things. And that's what it was boiling down to,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: and it was I think even more weird. It was
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: in a back and forth with the guy for Treasury secretary,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: It's like, wait, are you trying to weaponize Treasury to say, hey,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: your job is to now make sure there's no billionaires
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: in America?
• 22:33
  Speaker 11: Well, look, it's worth giving a listen. So listen to
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: this back and forth, and in terms of the demagogic
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: language of the Democrat Party, this is a great example.
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Give a listen.
• 22:44
  Speaker 8: When you have a small number of multi billionaires who
• 22:50
  Speaker 8: have enormous economic, media and political power. Would you agree
• 22:57
  Speaker 8: with President Biden who last I stated, and I quote
• 23:01
  Speaker 8: and Oligauki is taking shape in America of extreme wealth
• 23:06
  Speaker 8: power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic
• 23:11
  Speaker 8: rights and freedom's.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: End of quote.
• 23:13
  Speaker 8: That's what President Biden said last night. I agree with him,
• 23:17
  Speaker 8: do you.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: I enjoyed our visit, and I hope you got my
• 23:21
  Speaker 7: follow up materials that we've owned, the discussions, my predicious
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: writings on the Terrists and China and the three billionaires
• 23:34
  Speaker 7: who you listed that all made the money themselves. Mister
• 23:41
  Speaker 7: Musk came to the country as an immigrant.
• 23:43
  Speaker 8: I understand that. But what I'm asking you is when
• 23:47
  Speaker 8: you have a handful of people like Musk who will
• 23:51
  Speaker 8: soon be part of the Trump administration and others, When
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: you have three people owing more wealth than the bottom
• 23:58
  Speaker 8: half of Americans societ, when these people have enormous influence
• 24:02
  Speaker 8: over the media, when they spend huge amounts of money
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: in both political parties to elect candidates. What Biden said
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: last night is we're moving toward an oligarchy. I'm asking
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: you that question. Do you think, forget how they made
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: their money. Do you think that when so few people
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: have so much wealth and so much economic and political power,
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: that that is an oligoxic form of society?
• 24:24
  Speaker 7: Well, I wouldn't note that the President Biden gave the
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: Presidential Metal of Freedom to two people who I think
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: would qualify for his oligarchs.
• 24:35
  Speaker 8: So this is not a condemnation of any one individual.
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: I'm just asking you when so few people have so
• 24:43
  Speaker 8: much wealth and power, But do you think that that
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: is an oligarchic form of society?
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: Senator, I think it depends on the ability to move
• 24:56
  Speaker 7: up and down the end.
• 24:57
  Speaker 8: No, that's not really dancer. I mean, even if you
• 24:59
  Speaker 8: had mobility, no matter who those individuals might be. All right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 8: but let me ask you another question.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: I love there how He's like, all right, I'm gonna
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: move on because this isn't landing and just threw it
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: back in my face that we just gave medals of
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: the highest level of metal you can give to a
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: civilian to two of the people that would be categorized oligarks.
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: One of them, by the way, is a hard core
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: radical by the name of George Soros.
• 25:25
  Speaker 11: George Soros just got the Medal of Freedom from Joe Biden.
• 25:29
  Speaker 11: He celebrated. He also gave it to Hillary Clinton. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 11: and by the way, before that, Barack Obama gave the
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: Medal of Freedom to Bill Gates and and listen, the
• 25:38
  Speaker 11: position of Bernie Sanders is, we hate billionaires. Unless you're
• 25:42
  Speaker 11: billionaires who support socialists and the Democrat Party, then you're okay.
• 25:46
  Speaker 11: But to be clear, you're only okay if you're buying absolution.
• 25:50
  Speaker 11: The instant you stop buying absolution, we will demonize you,
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: and we will burn you an effigy in the streets.
• 25:57
  Speaker 11: And I gotta say, I like Scott Bessen's point. He's like, wait,
• 26:00
  Speaker 11: you're attacking these people. None of these three people you're
• 26:04
  Speaker 11: attacking none of them inherited wealth. You know, Elon Musk
• 26:08
  Speaker 11: came as an immigrant from Africa, like he built amazing
• 26:12
  Speaker 11: companies and and to a socialist, they don't care what
• 26:17
  Speaker 11: you did to build wealth. They're going to demonize you.
• 26:20
  Speaker 11: They're going to attack you. And it's an example of
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: and and by the way. It's it's why you get
• 26:26
  Speaker 11: so many incredibly rich, so many billionaires who backed the
• 26:30
  Speaker 11: Democrat Party because they're basically paying for protection from Roba spear,
• 26:37
  Speaker 11: from from from the guillotine in the French Revolution. And
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: and I got to say that that is where the
• 26:44
  Speaker 11: Democrat Party is. But I'll give Scott Besson a shout out.
• 26:47
  Speaker 11: He responded with fantastic answers, which is why Bernie ran
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: ran to the hills and ran away because he realized
• 26:56
  Speaker 11: it wasn't going the way he wanted. Scott Besson's going
• 26:59
  Speaker 11: to get confirmed. Every Trump cabinet member is going to
• 27:01
  Speaker 11: get confirmed.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: Now, all the data that I just gave you, I'm
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: going to ask you to share it on social media.
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: I'm going to ask to share it with your family
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: and your friends. We do this show every day on
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: social media, so make sure again grab it, download it,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: and if you get to see our videos on social media,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: please share them because as you know that the big
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: tech suppresses everything we do here. And I'll see you
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: back here tomorrow
