Iran FAs and Iran FOs plus Chaos on the Maine Campaign Trail · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Maximum pressure.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: That is exactly what the President of the United States
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: of America is announcing now when it comes to dealing
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: with Iran. And the major story today is that Trump
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: administration has now officially reimposed US oil sanctions on Iran,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: revoking the temporary waiver that had allowed Iranian oil sales
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: under last month's Memorandum of Understanding. The decision came after
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: what the administration described as Iran violating the conditions of
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: that agreement by launching new attacks against commercial shipping near
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: the Strait of Hormuz. That is obviously one of the
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: most strategically important waterways in the world, and we're about
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: a third of the world's oil goes through each and
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: every day under normal conditions. As this was announced, here's
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: how Fox News had it for the world.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Yet again, another reported tanker strike in the Strait of Hormuz.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: We think two have been struck. It might be more,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: but we'll hang on. We'll hang on to two for
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: the moment. A tanker struck by an unknown projectile trying
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: to transit the straight of horror moves. Apparently another one
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: made a U turn and turned around. No casualties reported.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Vessels are being advised to transit with caution. Meanwhile, from
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: Fox Business, they've obtained audio of an Iranian threatening the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: ships in the Strait. And here is how that sounded
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: in English.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: This is last for me, this is last warning. This
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: is live for me.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: You're running down, yer, Soul, your logging downyer, your order
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: to Alterco.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Supports that immediacy, alter Coat support immediately.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I use this south of La Exis, Giby.
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: This abay Uman targeted.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Out.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Now. The President clearly was responding to not only that,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: but also the attacks on the ships. And that is
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: why the President has officially revoked the US license allowing
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: a Rand to sell its oil. This is it's clearly
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: him hitting back hard after them. Willis attacked those vessels.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: No more playing games and as he described it, maximum
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: pressure is coming back now. According to the reports, multiple
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: commercial vessels, including oil and liquid natural gas tankers, were
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: attacked near the Strait over the last twenty four hours.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: These incidentss immediately raised fears that Iran was once again
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: threatening one of the world's busiest energy checkpoints.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And then you hear the audio they just played for you.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: The administration responded swiftly, saying the sanctions relief was always
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: quote performance based, and then Iran had failed to uphold
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: its endo the agreement. This is exactly what President Trump
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: warned would happen, and his administration has consistently argued that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: America would negotiate from strength, not from weakness, and that
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: any sanctioned relief would disappear the moment Iran resumed threatening
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: international commerce or regional stability. Those are the President's exact words.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: So this move is a clear signal that the White
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: House intends to enforce that promise. Now, before I get
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: to more of the logistics of this, I also want
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to just talk to you about something that's happening right
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: now that is really important, and that is America standing
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: with our most sacred ally in the Middle East, Israel,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and I want to give you for free right now
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: at US Israeli flagpen. You can get it at FLAGPENIFCJ
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: dot org.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: It's the same flagpen that I wear on TV.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: It is the US flag the Israeli flagged together, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: you can show your support for both countries by getting
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: that pen for free at FLAGPENIFCJ dot org. Look, America,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: we just celebrate our two hundred and fifteth anniversary on
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: July fourth, and that is a milestone. That also is
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: I think a time to reflect on the enduring relationship
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: between the US and Israel. They are our greatest Ally.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: President John F. Kennedy once said Israel was not created
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: in order to disappear. Israel will endure and flourish, And
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: those words capture the spirit of a young democracy that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: is still determined to survive. We now have two nations
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that are thousands of miles apart, yet united by shared
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: values of democracy, faith, freedom, and resilience. So as we
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: celebrate our two hundred and fifty years of independence, let's
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: make sure that we stand with Israel and the International
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Not only do they say it's the time to.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: Turn to prayer, but asking God for wisdom and guidance
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: and make sure that we have the right elected officials
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: that are leading America and Israel into the moral clarity
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and national unity that we need. So grab your pen
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and stand with America and Israel. Get it for free,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: flag pen if CJ dot org. That's flagpen IFCJ dot org.
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's get back to the broader picture here.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It was only weeks ago that many believed we were
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: with one of the biggest diplomatic breakthroughs in years, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: after months of military conflict, the White House and the
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: President were hoping that not only could they reach a
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: memo designed to stop the fighting, but it was also
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: to reopen the straight offur moves and begin negotiations over
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: RAN's nuclear program and then also their regional activities, their
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: sponsorship of terrorism. Now, part of that agreement eased restrictions
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: on Iranian oil exports in exchange for specific commitments from Tehran. Now,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: that agreement was never unconditional, even though the media tried
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to play it up that way. Again, it was never unconditional.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: The Trump administration has repeatedly described it as a conditional
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: performance based arrangement. In other words, Iran behaves or they
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: receive no economic relief. Iran then violate the agreement, and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: they immediately have now lost the benefits, which is what
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the Trump administration said was going to happen. Now, the
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: administration also says the attacks against shipping across the region
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: is a red line.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: They knew that in Iran.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: It was explicitly stated by multiple people in the Trump administration,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: so it should come as no surprise as the Iranian
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: crew to exports once again face US restrictions. This is
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: what the present said was going to happen, and he
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: did not flinch. Now, all prices have also surged after
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: the sanctions announcement and reports of new attacks in the Strait.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Traders once again are pricing in the geopolitical risk because
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: roughly again one fifth of the world's seaborne oil has
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: historically moved through the narrow Waterway. Even the possibility of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: renewed disruptions affect energy markets worldwide. Shipping companies, by the way,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: they're also responding at this hour. Maritime security organizations have
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: also raise the threat level for vessels operating in the area.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Insurers are reevaluating the risk of commercial traffic moving through
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the Strait as well. And this is why the Strait
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: matters so much. It's not just about a RAN, It's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: not just about the Middle East. It's also, by the way,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: not just about gasoline prices. It's not just about supply
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: chain issues. It also affects your life and the financial markets.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Whenever there's instability in that region, we see the ripple
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: effects and we see it at our gas pumps. Right now,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: when you go out to get gas. So the big
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: question now is whether these sanctions are signaling the collapse
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: of diplomacy or simply a return to maximum pressure before
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: negotiations continue. I wish I could answer that question, tell
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: you which one I think it is. I don't think
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: anyone knows right now.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, the administration officials are making clear that the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: talks are quote not necessarily over the reports coming out
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: of the White House. They say they still believe a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: broader agreement as possible, but only if Iran changes course
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and ends the attacks on international shipping. That has been
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: one of President Trump's negotiating trademarks throughout both of his presidency.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: You apply enormous economic pressure, We've seen this with sanction
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: deals by the way that we're being done around the world,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: and we keep the military options on the table at
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: the same time, then you'll leave the diplomatic door wide open.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: You reward compliance, you punish violations not down the road,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: but immediately. And today's sanctions they fit squarely within the
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: president strategy, which if anyone is negotiating with his president,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: it should not be hard to figure out what the
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: president is actually saying. What the president is actually advocating
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: for what the President of United States of America is doing.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Like there is no guessing needed here. It is obvious
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: what the President is telling you you have to do.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: It's literally in writing. So this is a violation. It
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: is going to carry consequences. Some say it is going
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: to be a significant amount of consequences. We don't know
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: for sure yet what's going to happen, but this is
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: certainly a moment where the President believes that maximum pressure
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: is on the table and he's not going to be
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: screwed with by Iran sending yet again another message this
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: president means business. All right, I want to get you
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: an update on where we are with Graham Platner. Democrats
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: are now demanding that Graham get out of the race
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: before the thirteenth. That is the deadline for him to
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: get out of the race so they can add a
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: new name to the ballot. If he doesn't do it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: by then, well there's a bigger problem because clearly he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: a disaster and they know he's going to lose, especially
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: in a lot of all the new allegations that have
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: come forward.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: So what actually happens next?
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Senator Cruz joins me to talk about exactly what this
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: means for the Senate, why Democrats are so involved in
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: this race, and how it could actually deal with the
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: balance of power in the Senate. Here's what Senata Cruz
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: had to say. So, Senatri, you and I talked about
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: this predicted a month ago on this show. It seems
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: that you and I are really good at understanding politics
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: and how scumbags and Democratic Party are always on an
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: expiration date.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: This one, as you mentioned, is the thirteenth.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: They've got to get him off the ballot, meaning he's
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: got to drop out by then or they're stuck with
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: him on the ballot.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: I want to know your prediction.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Do you think the same people that create a Grand
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: platinirm that are now trying to destroy him are gonna
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: be able to get him off the ballot by the
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: thirteenth or do you think he says, you know what,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: I'll drop out the fourteenth, just to ticket to all
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: you guys that are coming after me.
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: No, he's a Marxist. He'll drop out. He'll drop out
• 10:44
  Speaker 6: this week. It'll be by the thirteenth. They'll replace him.
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: And understand, look for Democrats in Congress, the fact that
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: the guy had a Nazi tattoo on his chest. That
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: that was not disqualifying. They were happy to support him.
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: And not just an Nazi tattoo, a totin comp the
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: symbol of the SS at the death squads in World
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: War II, that's what he had tattooed on his chest.
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: Democrats just fine with that. The fact that he self
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: described himself as a communist, they had no problem with
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: that at all. The fact that he described that he
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: would have masturbation fantasies in porta potties, which is just weird.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: I mean, I mean, I mean, it's just that that's
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: a very odd dynamic. That didn't scare any of them away.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: The fact that he.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: Had a prior girlfriend accuse him of being emotionally, verbally abusive,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: that didn't scare him away. The fact that he used
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: repeated racist insults attacked African Americans. Democrats were just fine
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: with that. The fact that he was a vicious misogynist,
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: no problem with that at all. Now, the fact that
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: he attacked a decorated combat veteran, Yeah, and he said
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: he wished that the veteran had died. Well, the Democrats
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: were just hunky dory with that.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: And don't forget the anti Semitism as well. Let's throw
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: that in there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Well, you know that that kind of runs with anyone
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: that puts a Nazi tattoo on their on their chest
• 12:12
  Speaker 6: like the ven diagram. To use a Kamala Harris term
• 12:16
  Speaker 6: of Nazis and anti Semites, that would be a one
• 12:19
  Speaker 6: hundred percent overlap and in that all Nazis are anti Semites.
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: And by the way, the fact that he described that
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: he had a fantasy of raping men who broke into
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: his house, although he said quote not in a gayway,
• 12:36
  Speaker 6: just just raping men in the heterosexual way, none of
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: that was was problematic. And I want to go through
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: the receipts, all right, Chuck Schumer On June second, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: endorse Graham platter This is after almost all of this
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: stuff had broken. How about Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders quote,
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: I personally think he is an excellent candidate. I'm going
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: to support him and I look forward to him becase
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: coming the next senator in the state of Maine. Reuben
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Gego goes and campaigns alongside him. Tim Waltz, I'll be
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: in Portland tomorrow with Graham Plattner to kick off his
• 13:12
  Speaker 6: campaign to retire Susan Collins. Let's go win this thing
• 13:14
  Speaker 6: that was in April Elizabeth Warren. All right, this is
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: one of my favorite Elizabeth Warren. Boy, she was all in,
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: understand progressive, powerful advocate for equality. What nonsense. Okay, So
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: here's what Elizabeth Warren says. Quote He's a combat veteran,
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: an oyster farmer, and has inspired people with his populist
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: agenda for a government on the side of working families,
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: not the billionaires and giant corporations. She also said, quote
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: I endorse Graham Platner because I know he's a fighter
• 13:46
  Speaker 6: on behalf of working families and because he doesn't take
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: any corporate pack money. And we need more people in
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Washington who are less about go along to get along
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: and more about fighting to make the kind of changes
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: that families need. And I want you to listen to,
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Elizabeth Warren said about Platner on April eighteenth. Here, give
• 14:02
  Speaker 6: a listen.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: I am here because Washington needs fighters, and Graham Platner
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: is the fighter we need. You bet, I said to myself,
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: that's my kind of man, because that is a man
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: who not only has the values, but a man who
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: believes in accountability, and we need a little accountability coming
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: out of Washington right now. We need gram Platner to
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: come in and get rid of the corruption in Washington.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Time for new lawson, get rid of that corruption center
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: in Washington. I mean, it's just that simple, right you
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: just say a man's a good man, forget all the
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: red flags, and you just make sure that no one
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: ever knows even happened.
• 14:59
  Speaker 6: That's my kind of man. I want you, In fact,
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: I want to just just just play play that again.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Listen again to Elizabeth Warren on Graham Plattner.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: That's my kind of man.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I believe her, by the way, I believe her as
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: much as I believe any Democrat right now. They love
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: this guy until they just decided, oh wait, he may
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: not be able to win.
• 15:24
  Speaker 6: And by the way, every one of those now has
• 15:26
  Speaker 6: now called on Platner to drop out. So Chuck Schumer tonight,
• 15:29
  Speaker 6: he and Kirsten Jillibrand put out a statement quote, the
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: allegations reported today are incredibly disturbing. Violence, abuse, and sexual
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: assault are absolutely unacceptable. The DSCC will not invest in
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Maine Senate if Platner remains on the ballot. Bernie Sanders
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: I have spoken with Graham Plattner about the best path
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: forward for Maine in light of these very serious allegations.
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: I have recommended that he step aside. How about Reuben
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: Diego quote The allegations against Graham Plattner are troubling and
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: deeply serious. I am rescinding him endorsement. How about Tim
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: Waltz quote, The allegations of sexual assault against Graham Plattner
• 16:05
  Speaker 6: are deeply disturbing. He should drop out and make way
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: for a candidate that can defeat Susan Collins in November.
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: How about Elizabeth Warren quote? Now, more than ever, we
• 16:17
  Speaker 6: need leaders in Washington to reflect our values. There could
• 16:19
  Speaker 6: be no tolerance for sexual assault. Working families are counting
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: on Democrats to win the Senate election in Maine, the
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: unrigular economy and hold Donald Trump accountable. With so much
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: at stake, best path forward is for Graham Plattner to
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: step aside as the Democratic nominee and address these serious
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: allegations outside the Senate race. Now among other hypocrites, and
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: I won't necessarily go through all their quotes. Rocanna happy
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: to stand with Graham Plattner with all these allegations. Chris
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: Van Holland. Well, when he was asked about the Nazi stuff,
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: the misogynist stuff, the racist stuff, Chris van Holland said, quote,
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: people should have second chances. Sheldon white House, What did
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Sheldon white House say? Hears a quote from Politico. White
• 17:04
  Speaker 6: House has been among Platner's most constant supporters among lawmakers
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: in the US Senate, calling the controversial candidate quote wonderfully appealing.
• 17:14
  Speaker 6: Sheldon white House Nazi, communist, misogynist, racist, oyster farmer, wonderfully appealing.
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: What else did he say? White House said, quote, He's
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: off to a really strong start and has a wonderfully
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: appealing local background and story. Just last month, white House
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: dismissed a New York Times report quoting women who accused
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: Platner a quote intimidating and disturbing behavior. White House said, quote,
• 17:41
  Speaker 6: seems like a lot of nothing. I mean, the only
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: one who had anything to say that seemed unsettling was
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: a woman who works for right wing political operations. Apparently,
• 17:52
  Speaker 6: in Democrat worlds, you can sexually harass, you can assault
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Republican women, and they don't count as women. So apparently
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: that's just by the way.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: What happened in the Democrats, mantra believe all women. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: just wanted. When did that get thrown out? When it
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: comes to squallwell, and it was always a lie. It
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: was always a lie.
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: These are the same people that defended Bill Clinton over
• 18:13
  Speaker 6: and over and over again, that launched Remember Hillary Clinton
• 18:16
  Speaker 6: launched the smear campaigns on every woman that came forward
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: with allegations against Bill Clinton was never true. Zo Ron
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: Mondami Mondami's several of his top aides, including his strategist
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: Morris Cats, his press secretary Joekovello, played leading roles in
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Platner's campaign. Uh Hassan Piker. All right, here's what Piker
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: said on June tenth, not very long ago. Quote, do
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: I want Graham Plattner to win this race? Effolutely? Although
• 18:48
  Speaker 6: he did not abbreviate efan, I do for a million
• 18:51
  Speaker 6: different reasons. He's great on message. What kind of lunatic
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: thinks this guy is is great on message? Now are
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: we today? Every one I've gone through has said, okay,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: time to get out, Time to get out, time to
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: get out. Except let me tell you one knucklehead, who
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: do you think is right now? The lone knucklehead who
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: said he doesn't want Graham platter to drop out.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: I would have guessed if I didn't know better, I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: would have said Bernie Sanders. But he's even said it now. Well,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: we got a serious reservation. YadA, YadA, YadA. So give
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: me outside that I have no idea, give me, give me,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: give me the name.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: Stephen King really Maine. He lives in Maine, left wing radical,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: filled with hate. Here's what he put out Tuesday night. Quote,
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: Graham Plattner may drop out. I hope he doesn't. But meanwhile,
• 19:46
  Speaker 6: the abuser in chief just keeps on keeping on. So
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: Stephen King is the one guy that says, give me
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: a Nazi, communist, racist, misogynist, alleged rapist, and I'm good
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: with him. Why because Susan Collins and Stephen King's world
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: is way too conservative for him.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Democrats are turning quickly on Grand Platiner, not because of
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: the latest accuser, but because they realize he can't win.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: The polling data is now showing that he is a
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: lame duck candidate. And now Democrats do what they do well,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: They excommunicate you quickly. Even ms now you know, formerly
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: of MSNBC. They are suggesting that Platner's the latest accuser
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: is somehow quote more reliable because his other accuser, well,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it was associated with right wing politics.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: That's their exact quote.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: So because they say that she's now this woman is
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a liberal, I guess you can believe her so much.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: For a party that said literally believe all women, well
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: apparently unless you're a Republican, you got it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: This actually happened on MSN to.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: That comment about this sort of posts me to era
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: and the debate that sort of happened in the Democratic
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Party after this, the series of allegations around Graham Plattner.
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: Part of I think what made it complicated for some
• 21:12
  Speaker 7: Democrats to fully believe the woman who's at the center
• 21:15
  Speaker 7: of the last round was that she was associated with
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: right wing politics. But this woman, she I want to
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: read part of what's out here. One of the reasons,
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: she says to Politico, I didn't come forward sooner was
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: the huge moral conflict that I had between supporting his politics.
• 21:30
  Speaker 7: So she is saying, I actually agree with Graham Plattner,
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: his positions, his politics. She's clearly more on the left,
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: but not supporting him as a person. I just want
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: the truth out there. I just want people to have
• 21:40
  Speaker 7: a whole scope of who he is as a person.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: So to be clear, the only women that Democrats will
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: actually believe are radical lefties, and only when they've gotten
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: their marching orders to come out and accuse of candidate
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: that they believe is going to lose of something. This
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: is very much like Eric Swawell in California, and then
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: we will say, okay, fine, you must drop out. John
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Fetterman the only Democrat out there who actually is calling
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: out Democrats for their hypocrisy. He said this on Fox
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: News Channel about Bernie Sanders.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I refuse to overlook that, but honestly,
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: I would really call Bernie Sanders to apologize for pushing
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: this kind of predator more than anyone. He helped him
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: elect and now apologize to the victims, especially the woman
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: that she claimed that he raped her. So, I don't
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: know why you want to keep pushing these kinds of people.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Maybe he should consider set a few out and stop
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: pushing these kind of communists and people and now people
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: you know like p Hustle. Now he has been incredibly
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: accused of rape and that's fairly recent too, that was
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: only less than five years ago.
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: Well, he said that allegations are untrue, but that he's
• 23:00
  Speaker 7: basically reviewing his options.
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: He's obviously going to drop out. Correct.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Now you listen to that from Fetterman, and what you
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: learn is this the Democratic Party is not doing the
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: right thing here. They're just trying to win a seat.
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: Their moral compass is literally only what the polling data shows.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Then if you don't believe me, let me give you
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: this fact. New audio has surfaced in another race. It
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: is now audio that contradicts Abdul l Shaide's claim that
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: he never backed the radical identity politics of defunding the police. Yes,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: that far left Muslim Michigan Senate candidate is now facing
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: renewed scrutiny after this new audio showed him explicitly supporting
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: efforts to defund the police departments completely. Now, in his
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: previous interviews, Alseaeid had denied ever calling to defund the police,
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: arguing that his old social media posts work just misrepresented
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: after a course being taken out of context. But now
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: a recording from just twenty twenty tells a very different story.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: In one interview from June twenty twenty, il say he'd
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: said he believed police funding should be reduced while more
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: taxpayer dollars should be directed towards schools, mental health services,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and of course anti poverty programs, because remember, this is
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: how you justify defunding the police. Alseeed said this as well.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: We are in a moment when a lot of our
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: public conversation gets chewed down into two hundred eighty characters
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: or less, and that is not the best way to
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: talk about anything. So you'll note I didn't say defund
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the police. I just described what needed to be done.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: And I do think we need to be really focused
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: on describing or explaining rather than sort of hedging on
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: one side or the other behind a quote hashtag. He
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: then said, defunding the police is disinvesting in the means
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: of incarcerating someone or killing them on the streets, investing
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: more in the means of educating and empowering and engaging
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: communities with the means of being able to take on
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: systemic poverty that we've allowed to fester in too many communities.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Now again, these comments originally came out in twenty twenty,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: right as the quote defund the police movement was picking
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: up major steam after the death of George Floyd. Alseed's
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: campaign now has to admit, and they have admitted that
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: his views have quote changed since then. So instead of
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: just straight applying to you saying I never said it,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: they're now saying, well, maybe he did say it, but
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: well he didn't really mean it. Now the issue is
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: coming up again because Elseed is currently leading the Democratic
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: primary for Michigan's top Us Senate seat. The new polls
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: that have come out earlier this May showed him out
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: in a twenty eight point lead.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's big, so Alseed, Well, now he's.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Getting people that are actually looking at what he believes in,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: and he is another radical communists. Now this is again
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: the Democratic Party. This is the candidates they keep choosing.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter if they lie to your face. It
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter if they've abused women, It doesn't matter if
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: they lie about anything in their past. As long as
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: they think they can win. It doesn't matter if you've
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: abused women, hit them, rape them, it doesn't matter. This
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: is the Democratic Party. Win it all costs. But if
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the pulling data changes, well they'll excommunicate you as fast
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: as they did. Eric Swawell and now grand Platner. Make
