• 0:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of people have said about the accusing the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: President of somehow flip flopping on what the standards are here,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: but unconditional surroundered. Look, they have no navy, they've lost
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: their space command, they've lost their ability to find twelve
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: digit grids, so naturally they're still firing drones and missiles.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: Unconditional surrender means that all those weapons systems are taking
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: away that command stands down.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: Good Saturday morning to you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Ben Ferguson with you, and we've got one big story
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: for you. There's a new shocking poll that has come
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: out showing that more than thirty percent of Americans say
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: they support the United States moving towards socialism.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And getting rid of democracy.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: How did we get to this point and how much
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: are Democrats spending to convince Americans that we need to
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: trash democracy. It's the forty seven Morning Update and it
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: starts right now. Story number one, there's a new Fox
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: News survey that that thirty eight percent of voters say
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: it would be good thing. It would be a good
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: thing for the US to move away from capitalism and
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: towards socialism. That's an all time high. Sixty one percent
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: view socialism negatively.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Did you hear me?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Thirty eight percent of voters say they would be a
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: good thing for the US to move away from capitalism
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: and towards socialism. How do we overcome that? How do
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: you think we got that? I mean, excuse me not
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: thirty seven? Thirty eight percent of voters say it would
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: be a good thing for the US to move away
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: from capitalism and towards socialism. Sixty one percent view socialism negative.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: But you still have a large number. And by the way,
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: the shift they say maybe tied. Maybe divided views on
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: capitalism itself, as voters are split over whether capitalism in
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: the United States is working well. Fifty say it's working
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: very or somewhat well, but nearly as many this will
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: be your lefts forty nine percent say it's working, not
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: vary or not.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: At all well.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: That that can explain to you the rise of Mundani,
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: for example, right in AOCS like they have, they have
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: gone under the core belief and the core point in
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the attack that and the obsession that America is somehow
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: evil in its existence, and that capitalism is the drug
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: that is evil in America and that if we were
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: all just somehow the same. Because part of this is
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: the Left knows that a lot of their voters are
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: poor and they want to convince them that the system's
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: working against them right, not for them, and so they're like, hey,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: help us take from the rich. This is the Robin
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: man like syndrome, as I call it, where you get
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: a lot of people that do great because they work
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: their a to blast is off, and you have a
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: lot of people that don't. And then they're like, why
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I want what they have, but they're not want to
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: do the work or study hard, to go to school
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: or whatever it may be. And so there's a jealousy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: And then you have politicians come around. They're like they're like, hey,
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: there's enough of you guys are angry and jealous that
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: I can convince you that you're not failing. But the
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: system is against you and rigged against you. And it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: not your fault you didn't go to college. It's not
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: your fault that you're a pothead, it's not your fault
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: of your drug addic it's not your fault that you're
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: just lazy.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I mean, I look, I see this in life.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Now I'm forty four, justin and like, it's very interesting
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: now how many people in my forties that I used
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: to be friends with will will actually like come after
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: me on social media, like not call me, not text me,
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: but will attack me because they are, I guess, frustrated
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: that I'm successful, and they're like, well, you don't understand
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the working man, the hard man. I'm like, dude, I
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: work my tail off like while you were, while you
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: were trying to get one of them, I said. We
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: had one of those pretty blunk conversations one day and
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I said to him, I was like, he was like,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: you know, well, you don't understand what it's like struggle
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: like I do. That's why I work so hard. And
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: we both came from the same place. We both didn't
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: grow up on third base or second base or on
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: first base. Okay, like you and I both knew we
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: need to pay we were gonna have to pay for college.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: You and I both knew that we were gonna have
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: to get there on a college scholarship if we were
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: going to go. And the difference between you and I
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: is I was out there busting my tail, working sixty
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: hours a week, teaching tennis in the summer while you
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: were trying to get your beer plate on the wall
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: at Flying Saucer. And if you know what Flying Saucer is,
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: it's a beer house. They have like X number of
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: brews on tap. It's insane, like over one hundred and
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: if you drink every beer and you can't, and it's
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: like there's rules on it, like so that you have
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to come back every week so you don't just you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: get belligerently drunk. But you can get a plate with
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: your name on the wall. And I'm like, dude, that
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: was your biggest accomplishment in your twenties, was like getting
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: your beer plate on the wall at Flying Saucer. There's
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: a difference between my work ethic and your work ethic,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: like a a very very big difference. And now you're
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: mad and you become a liberal because you somehow think
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: that like the systems against you and rigged. No, it's
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: because you didn't work hard. You've got multiple mug shots
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: for being an idiot, like not committing major crimes, like
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: just being like just doing stupid stuff like a dui,
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: and and so that has hindered you as well in
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: your development, Like you made some stupid decisions, being arrogant
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: with people you worked with, and you got fired from
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: jobs because of insubordination. That again, and some of that
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: came back to the drinking issues. Like like this is
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: there is a real interesting moment happening here in this
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: country whereas the left is saying to people like that, hey,
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: it's somehow the system that screwed you, and that's why
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: you're making all these bad decisions. And that's where the
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: mundanis and aocs and all these liberal mayors in different
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: liberal cities like Memphi in New Orleans and Detroit and
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Baltimore come in because they figured out that there's enough
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: lazy people that they can get to vote form that
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: they just give them free stuff. It's modern day slavery, right,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: like I'll feed you, but I'm not going to help
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: you get out of poverty, because if I help you
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: get out of poverty, then.
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: You don't need me anymore.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: One of the biggest reasons why the Democratic Party tried
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: to destroy Donald Trump through impeachment in twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen,
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen is because they understood the threat
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: that Donald Trump was to the minority voters. Why do
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: you think the Democrats let so many illegal immigrants into
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: this country? Because Donald Trump had completely decimated the Democratic
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Party's control of the African American community, and you had
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: African American unemployment rates the lowest in history when Donald
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: Trump was present in his first term, youah the lowest
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: unemployment rate for African Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos. And
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: so what the Democratic Party realized was if this keeps
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: up and think goodness, COVID came in for them and
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: saved them politically in many ways because COVID, you know, really,
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: as you know, hurt the economy in a major way
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and that stopped allowed that Trump like MAGA movement, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I think in many ways cost Trumps presidency his first
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: time because of what happened with COVID, and it just
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: shut down the whole country.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: And they that was the gift to the Democratic Party.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: But the Democratic Party was losing their base because what
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Donald Trump said was I don't want you to live
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: in poverty your whole life. I don't want you to
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: live on food stamps your whole life.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I want to.
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: Empower you to pay for your own stuff. But not
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: because I'm like, don't want to give you help. It's
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: because I want you to live a better life. I
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: don't want you to live in government housing. I don't
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: want you to be like in a hud house your
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: whole life. I don't want you to have to depend
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: on handouts to survive. I want you to be able
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: to get your kids in a good school, not a
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: failing school. And one of the ways that Democrats keep
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Americans down is by giving their kids horrific educational quality.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Horrific educational quality the level of Democrat cities education quality level.
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: It is failing virtually nationwide, in every school district in
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: a major city where Democrats control it.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: And the question is why.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: I think it's designed deliberately, because if kids are uneducated,
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: then they are going to end up depending on them
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: the Democratic Party for survival after.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: They fail in school.
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: If you empower a kid to be smart and get
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: a great education.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Okay, if you.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: If you have a child succeed and get on their own,
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: the chances that child, at some point in their life
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: becomes a Republican are very high. And the Democratic Party
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: understands that if you empower, if these kids grow up
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: and we don't own them in poverty and own them
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: because of their failures, that we've created an environment for
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: them to fail with failing schools. Then that is self
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: fulfilling prophecy, Like, Okay, they'll vote for us, and their
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: kids will vote for us, and they'll never get out
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: of the ghetto, and they'll always need us for their
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: food and for their lights and their heat and their
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: hut housing and their government aid and their government healthcare.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Right Like, That's one of the reasons why Obamacare was
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: so important to the Democratic Party, because it was a
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: way to I would say in chain Democratic voters to them.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: You can't vote against me. You need that healthcare, right like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: you can't vote against me.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: You need that.
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: And without me, you're screwed, right Like, without me, you're
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: in deep trouble.
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Without me, you've.
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: Got serious, serious, serious problems.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: And so that's why I keep voting for them. That's
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: just what happens here.
