NAACP Comes After DeSantis plus What I Believe is an Important Part of POTUS Election in 2024 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The NAACP has decided to put out a travel warning
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: against Florida and a new attack on the Sunshine State
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: because of Governor Ron DeSantis. So the oldest civil rights
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: group in the US is now cautioning travelers to reconsider
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: visits to Florida as they join other advocates in expressing
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: distaste for the state's openly quote hostile leadership.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not joking, by the way.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: The NAACP issued a travel advisory in response to Florida
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Governor Ronda census attempt to ban books about race and
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: the LGBTQ plus identities rejected to advanced placement African American
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Studies course and bar diversity, equity and inclusion programs in
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Florida colleges. The advisory advisory was proposed to the National
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Board of Directors in April during the NAACP's Florida Chapter
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: conference in Orlando, saying, quote, Florida is openly hostile towards
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: African Americans, people of color, and LGBTQ plus individuals. Before
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: traveling to Florida, please understand that the state of Florida
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenge is
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: faced by African Americans and other communities of color. The
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: NAACP says, now, let me also be clear about this.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: This is nothing more than a political attack on Ron DeSantis.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Trying to undermine Ron DeSantis. That's what this is. They
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: just want to undermine him. They want to hurt him. Okay,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: they want this to be a bad moment for DeSantis.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: They want to undermine what he's doing, and they want
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: to undermine how he's doing it. In his announcement. This
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is a way of doing what democrats do so well,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: what they do so well, with maybe a better way
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of putting it. If they see you as a threat,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: the first thing democrats now do is label you as
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: a racist. The NAACP is doing exactly that. They're screaming racism, right,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: because that's just what they do. You scream racism. You
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: say that Ron DeSantis is a racist, that Florida is
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: a racist state, and that you can't vote for him,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: and you shouldn't go there and you shouldn't visit there
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: because of just how racist he is. Are the policies racists?
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: No?
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Are they welcoming of everyone? Yes? Immigrants yes, people of color? Yes?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Is the premise for this totally absurd. Absolutely, but it
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter because the NAACP has serious weight. The other
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: thing is people will read just the headline right that
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Florida is a hate inspired state as they described it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: The NAACP president Derek Johnson asserted, DeSantis has launched a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: quote unrelenting attack on fundamental freedoms.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Let me be clear.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: He says, failing to teach an accurate representation of the
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: horrors and inadequies inadequies that Black Americans of face and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: continue to face, is a disservice to students and a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: dereliction of duty to all. Johnson said in a statement, Now,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: what did the governor do?
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Well?
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: This is as big of a lie as the quote
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: don't say gay bill, That didn't say that in Florida.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Again another attack trying to take out Ron DeSantis.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: The NAACP president.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Went on seeing anything to talk about that, and I
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: want you to hear what he had to say from Jackson, Mississippi,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you just.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: Heard the words of the Santas himself calling this call
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: by the NAACP a stunt.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: How do you respond, Well, the governor has perfected the
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: art of doing stunts to gain campaign contributions. Unfortunately, this
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: will impact people lives. We should not use race or
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: othering as a to weaponize against people, and unfortunately, for
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: a large percientage of the Plridians, that's what he has done. Therefore,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: we are advising African Americans and others that if you
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: travel to Florida, beware that your life is not value.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That we have a political landscape that could cause harm
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: as we prepare Florda twenty twenty four elections to right
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: size the political landscape in the state of Florida.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Now, if this isn't a political stunt by the NAACP,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: I don't know what is. And the reason why I
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: know that is because they're so transparent. The NAACP, after
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: they issue is travel warning saying Florida's hostile to Black Americans,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the NAACP president came out and said this, I.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: Want to ask you what you intended to accomplish with this?
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: What are you hoping happens because of this advisory.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Well, we have talked to our members in the state
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of Florida, Florida partner groups, individuals in the LA After
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: American communities, and so for many they were asking what
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: should we do and we understand that many conventions are
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: going to be held in Florida, so we are advising
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: our members and others that if you go, be cautious
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: of how you operate in the state. That if you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: have another choice to hold your convention, consider a place
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: outside of Florida. But also let's if you have to
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: go there, let's support the local community as we prepare
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to change the political landscape.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: We didn't end here overnight.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: It was because of the elections, so we have to
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: prepare for the next election so we can get rid
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: of him once and for all.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The other thing that.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: We have seen first by Trump now by him is
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: not only un American, it's dangerous and we have to
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: right size this landscape.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the NAACP says their ultimate goal and the
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: reason why they get this advisory, is to get rid
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: of Rondo Santis. So, in other words, it is a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: political stock. Right, this is clearly the political stunt. We
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: don't like Rhino Santis.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: What do we do?
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's call him a racis great. Let's do a
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: travel warning to declare how big of a racist he is. Okay, perfect,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: let's do that that. That's that's what he just said here.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I don't know any other way to put it. That's
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is clearly the ballgame. We
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: come out, we go against the Santis, we declare that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: DeSantis is a racist, and then once we declare him
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: a racist, we I guess we win. Like that's it, Like, okay,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we take we took out our political in on me
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: by calling him a racist. I don't, by the way,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: believe this is going to work. I want to be
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: clear about that. I don't believe for a second that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the American people, especially those in Florida, are going to
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: believe this because they know what is actually happening in
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the state. I also think it's pretty clear the racial
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: undertone of what he was saying, and one of those
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: racial undertones that you may have noticed there was him saying,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: be careful how you operate in the state of Florida. Translation,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: don't give your money to white people. That's what that means.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, don't give your money to white businesses, white corporations,
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: or white people when you go to Florida. Operate in
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the black community only. That's clear what the NAACP is
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: telling you there, right, wink wink, nod, nod. Hey, guys,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I need you to do this right. This is how
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: you need to roll like you, this is what we
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: need you to do. This is this is how we operate.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And when you hear it that way, and you you
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: hear what is being said there, it's to me, it's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: pretty damning. And I think there's a lot of people
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: that would agree with me how damning that is. That
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: this is now the new low that we are and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: this is I mean, this is really the new low.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Like, this is the new low. This is the new.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Reality of the situation, the scenario that we're in. Democrats
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: want to take you out. You're a racist. The NAACP
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: will come in declare you're a racist, regardless of the facts,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: and the media will then give you the airtime to
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: come out there and go, Yep, you're racist. If you
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: travel to Florida, beware that your life is not valued.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Your life is not valued apparently if you're an African American.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: And what does this say about African Americans if chosen
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: to live in Florida, like that feels safe. By the way,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: did you talk to any of them, No, because this
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: is not about this. This is about race and a
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: race war and getting elected. I would say this, what
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: is your life not being valued have to do with
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty four elections?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: If you're going to say that, then that's a much
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: bigger issue than politics. If you're telling black people that
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: their life is not valued, that should really have nothing
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to do with an election an election date, except that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: exactly what this is all about. I have another question though,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I have to ask, because he says, well, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you know, if you have to go down there, react appropriately.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: In other words, don't spend your money with anybody that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: not black, if you're black. That to me is also
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I would say, very clearly racism. It is racist to
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: decide deliberately that you are not going to spend your money, okay,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: with a with individuals, maybe that's a better way of
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: putting it. With individuals who don't have the same skin
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: color that you have. That is straight up racist, okay.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Number one, Like, there's no way to get around that.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It's racist. Okay, it's racist period.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Second thing on this is it's also incredibly racist towards
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: I think there's what last census, I want to say,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: there's five million plus Hispanics in Florida and a lot
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of them chose to put Ron DeSantis in office.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: They have businesses.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: So is the NAACP also now pretty much screwing those
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: that are those are that are Hispanic. I would say, yeah,
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: that's exactly what they're doing. They're saying, we're done with you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: That's a problem if you're Hispanic. What does this do
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to your business? You've told African Americans number one, don't
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: go down there, but if you do, you sure as
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: hell better not giving your money anybody that doesn't have
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: the same skin color as you. There's five million plus Hispanics.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: That's a lot, folks. That's a lot of Hispanics that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: they just said. If you destroy their businesses, so be it.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Just don't give them your money. Whatever you do, don't
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: give them your money.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I want to have a conversation.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I want you to listen to what I say very carefully,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: because I don't want people to put words in my mouth, okay,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: And I want you to understand the conversation that I'm
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: about to have with you is extremely important conversation. If
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: you consider yourself to be conservative, if you consider yourself
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to be a libertarian, if you consider yourself to be
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: a evangelical Christian voter. Okay, I want you to really
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: understand what I'm about to say to you. Is is
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a very important conversation that we must have, and one
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: where I want you to understand that I am not
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: picking and or endorsing a candidate. This is a conversation
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: where you could say, can it A?
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: And can it be? Can it X? Can it?
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Why?
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: I don't?
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: This is not about the two people I'm about to
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: talk about. It's about a bigger conversation that we need
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: to be careful and we need to have. Ron DeSantis
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: has announced that he is running for president. Okay, I
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: don't care about that aspect of this right now. That
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: why I'm saying. I'm just stating the fact Donald Trump
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: has already announced and is officially running for president of
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: United States of America. It's obvious to me that this
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: is a two man race between candidate A and candidate B.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And there is something that the media is hoping is
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: about to happen that the listeners of this audience, the
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: listeners of my podcast, the listener of every conservative talk
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: shows in America, are about to have a civil war
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: between choosing candidate A and candidate B. Now, if you
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: look at candidate A and Candidate B, both Candidate A
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: and Candidate B I think would serve the conservative movement
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: very well. I think Candidate A and Can it Be
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: both have track records of being staunch conservatives. I think,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: in fact, the biggest is is the fact that there's
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: not a lot of real hardcore differences between Candidate A
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and Can it Be. So then what happens is you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: start trying to destroy Candidate A, if your candidate B,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: and you try to destroy Can it Be, if your CANDIDA,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and have your supporters go for the jugular in any
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: way possible. In that scenario, the only person that wins
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: is the Democratic Party. The only person that wins, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: that means right now is Joe Biden. And I have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: started to watch on social media and I have purposely
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: stayed out of the announcements because I've experienced in the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: past what happens, and I've worked on a couple presidential campaigns.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I've outside advised four different campaigns. I have witnessed what
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: happens when two conservatives go to war on the local level,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and what happens when one guy wins and one guy loses.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: And I've witnessed that the Usually the losing team is
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: angry and they're so mad that they're actually willing they
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: get sick if it gets too personal to say, I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: hope that person loses and the Democrat wins, just to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: stick it to them. That is what the Democrats are
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: hoping you're going to happen. I've witnessed on the state level.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: I've witnessed in congressional seats. I've witnessed it in governor's
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: races and Senate races and congressional races. I've witnessed it
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: at every level where you have a throwdown, knockdown, drag
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: out fight that turns so personal instead of it being
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: about issues and substance, that the real winner is not
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: a Republican, and not even the Republican who wins that primary.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: It's the Democratic Party. It's the hardcore, woke lefties. What
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Democrats are hoping is going to happen right now is
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that in the republic presidential campaign that Candidate A and
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Candidate B go so personal that and one team gets
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: so angry at the other team that when that team,
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: whichever team loses, the they that they will say, well,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: all right, if I can't have it neither can you.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: And I and I say this to you as a
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale because I know, and I've talked to democrats.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I was talking to h I got called by a
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: reporter actually, oh, I don't know, probably an hour after
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: Desantus announced, and they wanted me to say something on
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the record about it, about this, you know, civil war
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: that's breaking out in the GOP. And I said, I, A,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to give you a comment, be off
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: the record. I'm not going to feed what you want.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: And I know what you want. You want there to
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: be a civil war, and that's why you're calling it
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: a civil war. And you're hoping this happens because then
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden wins reelection. You notice by the way that
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I did everything I could to keep Canada A's name
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and can it Be his name out of it, because
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: the more I keep their names out of it in
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: this conversation, the more I think we actually understand what
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about here. I believe that Canaday and can
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: it Be both have amazing things to bring to the table.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: I think that Candaai did an amazing job as President
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: of United States American I think can it Be did
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: an amazing job as governor of his state in Florida.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: I think that these two men are so close together
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: that that what worries me the most is the only
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: way to beat one of the others, to go so
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: negative and get so nasty that actually it could destroy
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: all of our chances of getting rid of Joe Biden.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Because let me state here, as I said to this
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: journalist that called me, I am in favor of beating
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: one person, that is Joe Biden. I think that Joe
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Biden is one of, if not the most corrupt president
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in political history. I think the way that he has
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: compromised the United States of America with Russian oligarchs giving
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: millions to his family, taking millions from Romania, taking billions
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: and loans from the Chinese, trying to do business with
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: the worst actors in the world, including the former mayor
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: of Moscow's wife who gave millions directly to him. I
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: think he has compromised in ways that have done irreputable
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: harm to this country.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: I think the.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Way that he is allowed for the weaponization of the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: United States government, the hands of the DOJ and the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: FBI to go after people that are just doing their jobs,
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: like reporters that actually reported who were not conservative, actually
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: more liberal. About the Twitter files and the irs showing
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: up to their home the day they're testifying to Congress
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: tells you how out of control we are. My enemy
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: politically is Hillary Clinton, the same Clinton family that we
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: now know the FBI the DOJ shut down not one,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: not two, but three, not three, but four different investigations
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: into them. My enemy are the people that made the
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: decision to raid a former president's house by the name
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. My enemy is the Democratic Party that
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: no longer exists, that is a communist party. My enemy
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: is the communist movement that is masquerating is the Democratic Party.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: That's who I'm wanting to beat. You have to understand
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: I've already picked my candidate in twenty twenty four. I've
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: picked the conservative candidate who gets the nomination because I
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: want to beat the living hell out of communism. Now,
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I say this tonight, and I want you to understand
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: why I'm saying it, and I want you to understand
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: that I'm telling you of a cautionary tale. If we
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: allow this thing to get too nasty, if we allow
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: this thing to get too ugly, Queen Candidate A and
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: Candidate B. The only person that wins is the Democratic Party.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: And it's not just the presidency. It's our integrity, it's
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: our national security, it's our children, it's our national debt,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: it's the debt that we're going to put on our children.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. Look at our national
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: debt right now, what we've done to our kids and
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: our grandkids. Yes, Republicans are partly responsible for it, no
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: doubt about it.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: But if you really look at.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: It, it's very clear that Joe Biden and the Democratic
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: Party has no problem bankrupting this country because when they
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: bankrupt this country, there's something that happens. When they bankrupt
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: this country, they get more power and more control. That's
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: what they get when they bankrupt this country. They get
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: to seize control over a bat week country that has
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: weak people. You don't know who my enemy is. My
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: enemy is the people that aren't willing to protect our
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: southern border. That's my enemy. So let me be clear.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I am endorsing the Republican who wins the nomination, and
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: before then, I want to suspend as little money as
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: possible trying to beat one another up. I want to
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: unite the party as much as I possibly can until
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: that moment where one of two men wins. Because I'm running,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: the only thing I care about is keeping our eye
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: on the par eyes and that prize is election day
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: of the general election in November of next year. That's
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: all I care about. This is going to be a
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: very long race, folks. Look down at your watches right now.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Look down at your clock right now.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Look at the date.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: It's Friday, May the twenty seventh. It's not twenty twenty
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: three elections twenty twenty.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Four, folks. It's a long ways away.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: And what Democrats are hoping is there's going to be
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: an all out civil war within the Republican movement and
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they're going to be Republicans are so angry, Republicans that
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: are so mad when their guy doesn't win because somebody,
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I promise you will lose. I don't know who it is,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: but somebody's going to lose. And when they do, they're
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: hoping that there'll be such bad blood that you can't
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: see passing. You say, screw it, let Biden win, just
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to stick it to them. That is what they want
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: to happen. And I tell you right now, if we
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: go down that road, we will lose in twenty twenty four,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: which means our kids lose, and our grandkids lose, and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: our country loses. So I'm not going to be talking
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: a whole lot about the two candidates in the primaries
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: early on. What I am going to talk about are
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: the issues, the issues that I care about. I'm not
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: going to be beating one man up over the other man.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to be throwing punches or jumping behind
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: unless something significant changes. If someone does something really stupid,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: I'm going to call that out. But we have to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: be careful to understand what's at stake here. We're running
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: against Joe Biden, not against one another, and that you
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: can see it already, how it's ratching up. The vitriol,
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the anger, the nastiness between conservatives has already started. I've
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: watched this happen too many times. The only person that
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: wins when we go down that road, the only team
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: that wins is the Communist Democratic Party.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: Think about it.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: We don't need to have a civil war within, especially
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: when we have Candida that's an amazing candidate, and can
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: it be that's an amazing candidate. We don't need to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: have a civil war over two candidates that ninety nine
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: percent of the time agree with one another. That's my
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: cautionary tale. So when a reporter calls hoping that I'm
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: going to stoke the fire of this primary, I'm not
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: going to do it, and I'm asking you don't take
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: the bait either. Let's talk about a great opportunity for
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: your IRA. In four o one ks, you can get
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: free gold just by learning about gold iras from Augusta

• 23:48
  Speaker 1: eight seven seven the number four GOLDRA or Augusta Precious
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Medals dot com. New polls show that Biden ratings are
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: sagging and several different categories, including immigration, the economy, and guns.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: In other words, no one's happy with Joe Biden.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Republicans aren't, obviously, but neither are the Democrats, apparently, based
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: on what we're seeing. The Associated Press and the NORC
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Center for Public Affairs Research carried out the polling and
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: they released these numbers this morning. They came out ahead
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: of Biden's return from his visit from Japan for the
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: annual G seven summit, where Russia's invasion of Ukraine was
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: obviously the front and center issue for the president rather
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: than the domestic issues that are dealing that we should
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: be dealing with here in America. Some voters even feel
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Biden should face impeachment proceedings based on the new polling.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: The AP reports the results show Biden is up against
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: strong headwinds even before he steps up to make a
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: single announcement asking Americans to vote for him to return
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: to the White House for another four years. The Associated
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: Press put it this way, public approval of Biden's handling
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: of the economy remains extremely low in a time of
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: high inflation, a difficult housing market, and concerns about a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: potential US government debt default. American opinion is also gloomy
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: about President Biden's efforts on gun policy and immigration, with
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: only thirty one percent of Americans saying they approve of
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: the president's performance on those hot button issues. Overall, just
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: forty percent of Americans say they approve of the way
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Biden is doing his job, similar to where his approval
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: reading had stood for much of the past year and
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: a half. On further worry for Biden is that he
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: underperforms on the most important issue, the economy, even among Democrats.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Sixty one percent approve of him on the issue, compared
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: to seventy five percent for his job overall, meaning there
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: is a significant difference in how Democrats look at him.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Despite Democrats feeling less and enthusiastic about the economy on
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Biden's watch, they continue to be more likely than Republicans
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: to say the country is heading in the right direction
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: thirty six percent versus seven percent, So only thirty six
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: percent of Democrats say we're heading the right direction. Just
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to put this in perspective or to rate the economy
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: is good. Just forty one percent of Democrats rated the
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: economy as quote good for doing well again another major problem. Biden,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: by the way, will resume negotiations on the troubled debt
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: ceiling with how Speaker Kevin MacCarthy were being told today
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: that is the June default deadline nears. It's another critical
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: test for this administration. UPI also reported this morning that
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: McCarthy said he spoke with the President Sunday to schedule
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: the meeting, saying I just got the phone with the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: President while he was out of the country. McCarthy tweeted,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: my position has not changed. Washington cannot continue to spend
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: money we don't have at the expense of children and grandchildren. Tomorrow,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: he and I will meet in person to continue the negotiations. Meanwhile,
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen reaffirmed June is a hard
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: deadline for the government to raise the debt ceiling and
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: avoid default. And the Associated press trying to tamp down
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: these bad and staggering poll numbers for the President by saying, well,
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: he's not the only one that ted bad poll numbers.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: You can go back and look at different people that
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: have had bad poll numbers and did just fine, including
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: they described as Bill Clinton. I think we can agree
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: that Bill Clinton and the economy was good, not as
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: bad as it is now under Biden. So it is
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: a very different scenario, probably a better way of putting
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: it all right. Lastly, please make sure you hit that
