Now that Biden is OUT-What about VP Harris? · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Joe Biden has dropped out of the presidential race.
0:06
Speaker 2: It is official.
0:08
Speaker 1: Not only has Biden dropped out of the race, but
0:11
Speaker 1: in his first letter to the country about him dropping
0:14
Speaker 1: out of the race, he did not endorse Kamala Harris.
0:20
Speaker 2: Why.
0:21
Speaker 1: Maybe he needed leverage to get what he needs to
0:25
Speaker 1: protect himself and his faith for their corruption with immunity.
0:31
Speaker 1: This is a shocking moment in presidential history. It is
0:36
Speaker 1: a shocking moment in political history. It is a shocking
0:41
Speaker 1: moment for a president to not endorse his vice president
0:46
Speaker 1: and then have to redo the statement after maybe he
0:50
Speaker 1: got the deal done that he needed to get done
0:52
Speaker 1: to then endorse her who is not endorsing Kamala Harris
0:57
Speaker 1: is also shocking, meaning I think there's a very good
1:00
Speaker 1: chance this could be a bloodbath of a fight at
1:04
Speaker 1: the convention the Obamas and Pelosi. Let me say this again,
1:10
Speaker 1: Obama and Pelosi do not endorse Kamala Harris. This is
1:17
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four chaos, and it is just the beginning. Now,
1:22
Speaker 1: if you are a conservative, before you get too excited
1:26
Speaker 1: about what I just told you, you need to understand
1:29
Speaker 1: that the lead that Donald Trump has right now over
1:31
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is meaningless and worthless.
1:34
Speaker 2: Let me also.
1:35
Speaker 1: Say this, the lead that he has right now doesn't
1:40
Speaker 1: matter at all for whoever the next candidate is. Why,
1:45
Speaker 1: because the media is about to coordinate someone who is
1:49
Speaker 1: the greatest thing they've ever introduced to America. Now, I've
1:53
Speaker 1: got a lot more to say about this in a moment,
1:55
Speaker 1: but I want to tell you about my friends over
1:56
Speaker 1: at Patriot Mobile. For ten years, Patriot Mobile has been
1:59
Speaker 1: America's only Christian conservative wireless provider. And when I say only,
2:04
Speaker 1: I mean it. Patriot Mobile is an incredible company that
2:08
Speaker 1: takes five percent of your bill every month and they
2:11
Speaker 1: give it back at no extra cost to you to
2:14
Speaker 1: conservative causes candidates and organizations that support our first, our
2:20
Speaker 1: Second Amendment rights, religious freedom, the sanctity of life, and
2:24
Speaker 1: our military, our veterans, and our first responders. Now you
2:27
Speaker 1: may hear that and say, well, Ben, that's great, we
2:29
Speaker 1: love that, right, Yay? Why does that matter so much? Well,
2:33
Speaker 1: if you're with Big Mobile, who you're probably with right now,
2:36
Speaker 1: you've actually been giving massive donations to Plan parenthood, radical
2:41
Speaker 1: causes candidates at the local, state, and national level. You
2:47
Speaker 1: probably didn't even realize that your money was going to
2:50
Speaker 1: places like Planned Parenthood. But now you know, and the
2:53
Speaker 1: question is are you going to stand up for what
2:54
Speaker 1: you believe in and stop giving your money to candidates
2:57
Speaker 1: and to those organizations that you cannot stand. Well, that's
3:02
Speaker 1: why I switch to Patriot Mobile. Patriot Mobile is easy
3:05
Speaker 1: to switch now. It is easier now than it's ever been.
3:09
Speaker 1: And when I say easy, I'm not kidding when I
3:11
Speaker 1: say it is easy. It is incredibly easy to make
3:15
Speaker 1: the switch right now to Patriot Mobile.
3:17
Speaker 2: You can do it over the phone.
3:20
Speaker 1: All you got to do is call them the number
3:23
Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot call them, use my
3:26
Speaker 1: name Ben.
3:27
Speaker 2: You're gonna get free activation. Make the switch.
3:30
Speaker 1: You keep your same cell phone, same cell phone number,
3:32
Speaker 1: and every time you make a call, you, every time
3:35
Speaker 1: you send a text, every time you pay your bill,
3:37
Speaker 1: you're standing up for what you believe in. Nine seven
3:39
Speaker 1: to two Patriot get free activation when you use the
3:42
Speaker 1: offer code Ben or online at patriotmobile dot com slash Ben.
3:47
Speaker 1: That's Patriot Mobile dot com slash Ben. Now, what you
3:50
Speaker 1: are witnessing and what you are about to witness is
3:54
Speaker 1: going to anger many of you that are conservatives, because
3:57
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and media are going to give probably
4:02
Speaker 1: a two billion dollar in kind donation and free advertising
4:07
Speaker 1: to Kamala Harris or Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom, or
4:11
Speaker 1: whoever the hell the Democrats end up choosing. They are
4:15
Speaker 1: going to tell you that they are the greatest thing ever.
4:18
Speaker 1: I'm going to use this analogy for you so that
4:21
Speaker 1: you understand how massive perspective can change things, a difference
4:27
Speaker 1: that it can make. Imagine you're on the greatest cruise
4:30
Speaker 1: ship in the world, and imagine that cruise ship hits
4:34
Speaker 1: an iceberg. Imagine that cruise ship is going down, and
4:39
Speaker 1: you look out and you see these little dinghy in
4:42
Speaker 1: the water. You see a little fishing boat that looks
4:45
Speaker 1: like total and utter crap. You see another boat coming
4:50
Speaker 1: that's a tiny, little, beat up little vessel that has
4:53
Speaker 1: terrible seating and a small engine. But you know, on
4:58
Speaker 1: the ship that you're on right now, you're going to
5:01
Speaker 1: die if you don't get off that ship and think
5:05
Speaker 1: about how good those other ships look. That is basically
5:10
Speaker 1: what we're dealing with in the Democratic Party right now.
5:13
Speaker 1: Joe Biden was the Titanic and it hit an iceberg,
5:18
Speaker 1: and it was going down, and all these little crappy
5:21
Speaker 1: boats are coming in, and by golly, if you're on
5:25
Speaker 1: the Titanic, that is the most beautiful ship you've ever seen.
5:28
Speaker 1: There will be no scrutiny about those ships. There will
5:32
Speaker 1: be no scrutiny about the past maintenance of those ships.
5:35
Speaker 1: There will be no scrutiny over what type of ship
5:38
Speaker 1: it is or if it even has the licenses papers
5:42
Speaker 1: needed to.
5:42
Speaker 2: Be on the ocean.
5:45
Speaker 1: There will be no scrutiny of any of the people
5:48
Speaker 1: that are piloting these little dinghies or vessels or crappy boats.
5:54
Speaker 1: Because whoever ends up getting the nomination, they are going
5:58
Speaker 1: to become God to the media and to the Democratic Party.
6:04
Speaker 2: When your ship is sinking.
6:06
Speaker 1: Let me talk about the money that's about to flow
6:09
Speaker 1: in to whoever it is that gets this nomination.
6:14
Speaker 2: When you're on a Titanic.
6:15
Speaker 1: And you're rich and you're like, well, I'm not giving
6:18
Speaker 1: you any more of my money because this ship is sinking. Right,
6:21
Speaker 1: very much like the Biden campaign, another ship comes to
6:25
Speaker 1: save the day and you're willing to pay whatever it
6:28
Speaker 1: takes to get off of that sinking ship. That is
6:32
Speaker 1: exactly what is going to happen with whoever gets the nomination.
6:37
Speaker 1: It is going to be a coronation whoever the Democratic
6:41
Speaker 1: Party picks, and I think the front runner is at
6:45
Speaker 1: this moment, Kamala Harris. She is Princess Diana to the
6:48
Speaker 1: Democratic Party. She is a hero and a savior. Because
6:53
Speaker 1: perspective is everything. Perspective is everything. It's basically like an
7:03
Speaker 1: abusive relationship, You're willing to put up with a lot
7:06
Speaker 1: more as long as the person isn't trying to kill you.
7:10
Speaker 1: If you've ever been in that situation, right, it's better
7:13
Speaker 1: than the alternative. Joe Biden was worst case scenario for
7:18
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party. And now Joe Biden has officially decided
7:23
Speaker 1: that he is going to step aside. Now I didn't
7:26
Speaker 1: say resigned from the White House, which is a question
7:29
Speaker 1: we should all be asking, and.
7:30
Speaker 2: We're going to deal with that coming up in a moment.
7:33
Speaker 1: I'm also going to be joined by a dear friend
7:35
Speaker 1: of mine, United States Centater Ted Cruz is going to
7:39
Speaker 1: join us in a moment to chat about all of this.
7:42
Speaker 1: But before we even get to that, I want you
7:45
Speaker 1: to hear how ABC News announced it to their audience
7:49
Speaker 1: that Joe Biden is stepping aside.
7:52
Speaker 3: Good afternoon, I'm Rachel Scott at ABC headquarters here in
7:55
Speaker 3: New York. We are coming on the air at this
7:57
Speaker 3: hour with breaking news. President Biden has just announced that
8:00
Speaker 3: he is ending his reelection bid. Just moments ago, the
8:03
Speaker 3: President tweeted out, it has been the greatest honor of
8:06
Speaker 3: my life to serve as your president.
8:08
Speaker 2: Well, it has been my intention.
8:09
Speaker 3: To seek reelection. I believe it is in the best
8:12
Speaker 3: interest of my party and the country for me to
8:14
Speaker 3: stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties
8:18
Speaker 3: as president for the remainder of my term. I will
8:20
Speaker 3: speak to the nation later this week in more detail
8:23
Speaker 3: about my decision. There are still so many questions yet
8:26
Speaker 3: to be decided, and so little time before those questions
8:29
Speaker 3: need to be figured out. So I want to go
8:31
Speaker 3: right away to our chief Washington correspondent, John Carl John.
8:35
Speaker 3: We are just one hundred days out from the November election.
8:39
Speaker 3: Pressure was building on the President to step aside. Now
8:41
Speaker 3: he is announcing that.
8:42
Speaker 2: He has Rachel.
8:45
Speaker 4: It's an extraordinary moment in American history. This is the
8:48
Speaker 4: first time we have seen a sitting president bow out
8:53
Speaker 4: of re election since Lyndon Van Johnson in nineteen sixty eight,
8:58
Speaker 4: and it comes Unlike Johnson's move, which happened in January
9:02
Speaker 4: of that year, it comes after he has already gone
9:05
Speaker 4: through a primary process, after he has already effectively won
9:09
Speaker 4: the Democratic nomination, which now raises the huge questions, as
9:13
Speaker 4: you allude to, of what happens next. In his letter
9:17
Speaker 4: announcing this extraordinary decision, he mentions his vice President Kamala Harris.
9:24
Speaker 4: He says, I want to thank my Vice President Kamala
9:26
Speaker 4: Harris for her extraordin for being an extraordinary partner. But
9:30
Speaker 4: he makes no reference about what he will do in
9:34
Speaker 4: terms of an endorsement. Will he endorse, will he not endorse,
9:37
Speaker 4: will there be an open process, what happens next? He
9:41
Speaker 4: says he will talk to the nation in the coming
9:43
Speaker 4: days more about his decision. But now the Democrats have
9:47
Speaker 4: to figure out what happens. Who replaces Joe Biden as
9:51
Speaker 4: the Democratic candidates the president.
9:54
Speaker 1: You listen to how they talk about this, and they
9:58
Speaker 1: are not only elated, but they are estatic for the future.
10:06
Speaker 1: And they don't even care who the future is. They
10:09
Speaker 1: don't know who it's going to be. I don't know
10:13
Speaker 1: if it's going to be Kamala's. She's the front runner
10:15
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean it's gonna happen, but it's going.
10:17
Speaker 2: To be an all out war.
10:21
Speaker 1: Now, let's talk for just a second about Kamala Harris.
10:25
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris is now the greatest thing the Democratic Party's
10:28
Speaker 1: ever seen, even though she's a woman that dropped out
10:30
Speaker 1: of the presidents of race and everyone hated her and
10:32
Speaker 1: she was pulling it like three percent. But when your
10:35
Speaker 1: ship is sinking, to use that analogy again, you'll jump
10:39
Speaker 1: on any lifeboat, any rubber dinghy, It doesn't matter what
10:42
Speaker 1: it is, because that is your savior in that moment.
10:45
Speaker 1: This is the best case scenario for Kamala Harris. Let
10:49
Speaker 1: me also tell Kamala Harris was not like by the
10:51
Speaker 1: Democratic Party either and the Democratic elite. But right now
10:55
Speaker 1: she is the little lifeboat that showed up. It may
10:58
Speaker 1: be ugly, it may have a bad rock record of
11:00
Speaker 1: the engine going out, but you're still gonna get on
11:03
Speaker 1: it because it looks like a life boat that's going
11:06
Speaker 1: to save your life. The other problem is the media
11:09
Speaker 1: is going to give an inkind donation of what is
11:13
Speaker 1: the equivalent of billions of dollars in ad buys. Okay,
11:19
Speaker 1: billions of dollars in AD bys to whoever gets the nomination,
11:24
Speaker 1: and they're gonna tell you that it is an amazing
11:29
Speaker 1: candidate whoever the Democrats pick, And for the next thirty days,
11:32
Speaker 1: you also have to understand about the disadvantage of Trump
11:34
Speaker 1: campaign has Trump and Trump and Jdie Vance?
11:39
Speaker 2: How do you campaign like? Who do you campaign against?
11:41
Speaker 1: Do you spend your time campaigning against you know, Michelle Obama?
11:45
Speaker 1: Do you spend your time campaigning against Gavin Newsom? Do
11:50
Speaker 1: you spend your time campaigning against Kamala Harris?
11:54
Speaker 2: Or do you spend your.
11:55
Speaker 1: Time campaigning against the Democratic Party and Joe Biden's record
11:59
Speaker 1: in general? Now, do I think that if it is
12:02
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, there's ways that we can beat her and
12:04
Speaker 1: Trump can win. Yes, But I don't want you to
12:06
Speaker 1: be over confident tonight because coming out of Milwaukee, guess what,
12:12
Speaker 1: no one's talking about that now, are they? The timing
12:14
Speaker 1: of this to announce this on Sunday, the day after
12:17
Speaker 1: the convention and suck out all the oxygen out of
12:20
Speaker 1: the room was a brilliant political move by the Democratic Party.
12:26
Speaker 1: The polls don't matter. That bump you normally get out
12:29
Speaker 1: of a convention doesn't matter. Hell, Donald Trump and the
12:32
Speaker 1: assassination attempt has now old news a week after it happened.
12:38
Speaker 1: That's how big and catastrophic this news story is. And
12:44
Speaker 1: the Democrats are going to ride this way for thirty days.
12:47
Speaker 1: This convention the Democrat's going to have is a thirty
12:49
Speaker 1: day convention. Now every day it's going to be this story. Now,
12:54
Speaker 1: let me also remind you of this. Kama Harris is human.
12:57
Speaker 1: Kama Harris. Maybe she gets the nomination. Okay, maybe it's
13:00
Speaker 1: really hers. Maybe she gets it and she's able to
13:04
Speaker 1: be the easy choice that people call us behind. Let's
13:07
Speaker 1: start with that idea. Can we beat a Kamala Harris?
13:13
Speaker 1: I believe we can. Why because she said a lot
13:15
Speaker 1: of really stupid things in the past. Remember, Kamala Harris
13:19
Speaker 1: is not that much better than Joe Biden.
13:21
Speaker 5: Listen, is today and yesterday was today, yesterday, Tomorrow will
13:29
Speaker 5: be today tomorrow. So live today, so the future today
13:36
Speaker 5: will be as the past today as it is tomorrow today.
13:45
Speaker 1: That's Kamala Harris, folks, that is the Kamala Harris that
13:48
Speaker 1: we will be running against. That is Kamala Harris giving
13:52
Speaker 1: an actual speech that is not a joke. If you're
13:56
Speaker 1: laughing right now. You should be laughing because that's the
13:59
Speaker 1: vice president I to America. That's how bad of a
14:01
Speaker 1: candidate she is when we go after her one on one.
14:06
Speaker 1: I'm going to play that again and I want you
14:07
Speaker 1: to try to follow along with Kamala Harris. This is
14:10
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris at a public speech.
14:12
Speaker 5: Today was today, yesterday, Tomorrow will be today tomorrow. So
14:20
Speaker 5: live today, so the future today will be as the
14:24
Speaker 5: past today as it is tomorrow.
14:30
Speaker 2: That's Kamala Harris.
14:33
Speaker 1: I'm playing that for you to remind you of exactly
14:37
Speaker 1: who Kamala Harris actually is. Do I believe we can
14:41
Speaker 1: beat Kamala Harris?
14:42
Speaker 2: Yes? I do.
14:43
Speaker 1: Do I believe that Donald Trump can beat her on
14:46
Speaker 1: the debate stage, Yes I do.
14:48
Speaker 2: Do I believe that we can still win this race?
14:50
Speaker 1: Yes, but do not get overconfident because it is a
14:53
Speaker 1: dead heat right now.
14:56
Speaker 2: This is a dead heat. It is not going to change.
15:00
Speaker 2: It is a dead heat.
15:01
Speaker 1: And there are other, by the way, very smart Democrats
15:06
Speaker 1: that are looking at this.
15:07
Speaker 2: Let me give you an example.
15:09
Speaker 1: And before I give you all the details, I want
15:11
Speaker 1: to take a moment and I want to ask for
15:13
Speaker 1: your help. The wor in Israel started on October the seventh.
15:17
Speaker 1: We have seen death and destruction in the Holy Land
15:21
Speaker 1: for more than forty years. The International Fellowship of Christians
15:24
Speaker 1: and Jews has been on the ground in Israel and
15:27
Speaker 1: within hours of the war starting, and every day since,
15:30
Speaker 1: they've been feeding the hungry and protecting the vulnerable. You
15:33
Speaker 1: may not realize, but Israel is literally under attack now
15:37
Speaker 1: on a daily basis, with rockets coming in. Those that
15:41
Speaker 1: are surrounding Israel are doing everything they can to take
15:45
Speaker 1: them out. The attacks continue in the North and the South,
15:49
Speaker 1: but there are resilient survivors who bravely share their stories
15:53
Speaker 1: in a series the Fellowship calls Faces of Iron. Survivors
15:58
Speaker 1: like Danny, beloved daughter and her husband were burned alive
16:03
Speaker 1: on October the seventh by Hamas Terras. Danny is a
16:06
Speaker 1: commander of the volunteer fire and rescue group in his community.
16:10
Speaker 1: Despite fire equipment nearby, Danny could do nothing as his
16:14
Speaker 1: daughter's house burned and his daughter and her husband lost
16:18
Speaker 1: their lives. Christians like you support Israel through the International
16:22
Speaker 1: Fellowship of Christians and Jews. It's his support that helps
16:25
Speaker 1: these survivors remain steadfast and strong to hear more stories
16:30
Speaker 1: like this one and show your support for Israel. Please
16:33
Speaker 1: stand with me and visit support IFCJ dot org. That's
16:38
Speaker 1: support IFCJ dot org. Support IFCJ dot org. All right,
16:47
Speaker 1: Josh Sapiro, remember that name. I'm gonna say it again.
16:50
Speaker 1: It's not Ben Shapiro, It's Josh Shapiro. He's a dad
16:53
Speaker 1: to four kids, married to his high school sweetheart, and
16:56
Speaker 1: the governor of Pennsylvania and a moderate, not a ba
17:00
Speaker 1: AOC extremists.
17:04
Speaker 2: This is what he tweeted out earlier.
17:07
Speaker 1: The contrast in this race could not be clear, and
17:10
Speaker 1: the road to victory in November runs right through Pennsylvania,
17:14
Speaker 1: where this collective work began. I will do everything I
17:17
Speaker 1: can to help elect Kamala Harris as the forty seventh
17:20
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America. The governor then
17:24
Speaker 1: put out a larger statement, saying, when our founders came
17:26
Speaker 1: together in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, now let me just
17:29
Speaker 1: hit pause and go if you want to know what
17:31
Speaker 1: it sounds like to do a deal, this is what
17:33
Speaker 1: a guy sounds like that may have just had a
17:35
Speaker 1: deal with Kamala Harris to be picked as vice president
17:37
Speaker 1: and not actually challenge her at the convention African American woman.
17:42
Speaker 1: He's a really smart guy to run with her, a
17:44
Speaker 1: guy that understands how it works in Washington, how.
17:48
Speaker 2: To get things done.
17:49
Speaker 1: A guy that a state you desperately need, because if
17:52
Speaker 1: you win Pennsylvania, where he's very popular as the governor,
17:56
Speaker 1: then there's a very good chance you're going to win
17:58
Speaker 1: the presidential election if you're a Democrat. If you lose Pennsylvania,
18:03
Speaker 1: the math doesn't make sense, and it would be virtually
18:05
Speaker 1: impossible to win the presidency if you lose Pennsylvania. So
18:10
Speaker 1: if you look at this statement from Shapiro, the governor,
18:15
Speaker 1: he's saying, Hey, I'm going to support who you know,
18:18
Speaker 1: Kamwa Harris is the forty seventh president at America. It
18:20
Speaker 1: sounds like there may have already been a deal that's
18:22
Speaker 1: been done. So let me read you a statement. When
18:24
Speaker 1: our founders came together in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to
18:27
Speaker 1: declare our independence and establish our democracy, they did so
18:31
Speaker 1: with a clear understanding that we will only succeed if
18:33
Speaker 1: we were united. In the two hundred and forty eight
18:37
Speaker 1: years since, our country and our people have been tested,
18:40
Speaker 1: but the American spirit has always triumphed despite our individual differences,
18:46
Speaker 1: when our safety was threatened, when our values and freedoms
18:49
Speaker 1: were attacked, when the stakes were high, Americans have found
18:53
Speaker 1: ways to come together and unite behind common cause and
18:57
Speaker 1: common purpose. That's the lesson of our founder, who gathered
19:00
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania two and a half centuries ago, and it's
19:05
Speaker 1: the lessons our party must learn for now from now.
19:09
Speaker 1: I've known Harris for nearly two decades. We've both been prosecutors.
19:14
Speaker 1: We both stood up for the rule of law. That's
19:16
Speaker 1: a lie.
19:17
Speaker 2: We both fought for the people and delivered results. That's
19:19
Speaker 2: also live.
19:20
Speaker 1: Come my heris is a patriot worthy of our support,
19:23
Speaker 1: and she will continue the work of generations of Americans
19:28
Speaker 1: who came before us to protect our union, protect our democracy,
19:31
Speaker 1: and advance real freedom. She has served the country honorably
19:35
Speaker 1: as vice president, and she is ready to be president.
19:39
Speaker 1: The best path forward for the Democratic Party is to
19:41
Speaker 1: quickly unite behind Harris and refocus on winning the presidency.
19:48
Speaker 1: The contrast to this rates could not be clearer, and
19:51
Speaker 1: the road to victory November runs through Pennsylvania, where the
19:55
Speaker 1: collective work began.
19:58
Speaker 2: I will do everything I can to help well.
20:00
Speaker 1: Let Kamala Harris, the forty seventh President of the United States,
20:03
Speaker 1: signed Governor Shapiro. If you want to know who I
20:06
Speaker 1: think the front runner is right now to be the governor,
20:09
Speaker 1: I should say to be the vice president, it is
20:11
Speaker 1: Shapiro of Pennsylvania. I think it's very clear deals are
20:15
Speaker 1: getting done right now. Like you wouldn't believe, Joe Biden
20:22
Speaker 1: has dropped out of the presidential race. The part that
20:26
Speaker 1: really makes me laugh is, of course Joe Biden did
20:29
Speaker 1: this on National ice Cream Day.
20:33
Speaker 2: You couldn't make it more fitting than that. You do
20:36
Speaker 2: it on.
20:37
Speaker 1: National ice Cream Day, Joe Biden, they ask her to
20:41
Speaker 1: give me an ice cream cone.
20:42
Speaker 2: I'm out.
20:42
Speaker 1: Maybe that's how they bribed him to do it. Maybe
20:44
Speaker 1: that was Kamala's plan all along. Let me also just
20:47
Speaker 1: remind you of Kamala Harris. Okay, this is a woman
20:52
Speaker 1: that was the border czar.
20:54
Speaker 2: She is the.
20:54
Speaker 1: Presumptive Democratic nominee. So when she goes on TV and
21:01
Speaker 1: she talks about the border, here's what she says about
21:05
Speaker 1: the border.
21:06
Speaker 5: We've been to the border. So this whole, this whole,
21:09
Speaker 5: this whole thing about the border.
21:11
Speaker 2: We've been to the border. We've been to the border.
21:14
Speaker 5: You haven't been to the border, and I haven't been
21:16
Speaker 5: to Europe. And I mean, don't I don't understand the
21:20
Speaker 5: point that you're making.
21:21
Speaker 2: Or we've been to the border. It's amazing, I don't
21:24
Speaker 2: understand the point you're making.
21:26
Speaker 1: Lester Holt. This is the woman she was the borders
21:29
Speaker 1: are and she says, we've been to the border. Quote,
21:31
Speaker 1: we've been to the border. And then Holt says you
21:35
Speaker 1: you haven't been to the border. And then she says,
21:39
Speaker 1: I haven't been to Europe either. What's your point? You
21:42
Speaker 1: just said you went to the border, ma'am. You just
21:46
Speaker 1: lied to the American people. You just told the American
21:49
Speaker 1: people that you had been to the border when you
21:52
Speaker 1: hadn't and Lester Holt says you haven't been to the border.
21:56
Speaker 2: Now, this is a woman that.
21:58
Speaker 1: Believes in open borders. This is a woman that cannot
22:02
Speaker 1: do her job. This is a woman that is a
22:05
Speaker 1: failure as much as he is a failure. Let me
22:09
Speaker 1: also remind you what Vice President Harris had to say
22:12
Speaker 1: about Ukraine and the foreign policy. So let's say you
22:15
Speaker 1: just say that was her having a bad day. Okay,
22:18
Speaker 1: let's go with that for a second.
22:20
Speaker 4: Ukraine is a country in Europe.
22:24
Speaker 6: It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is
22:28
Speaker 6: a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country.
22:31
Speaker 5: Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
22:34
Speaker 4: So basically that's wrong.
22:38
Speaker 1: You, So basically that's wrong. That's Vice President Harris on
22:47
Speaker 1: her analysis of Hey, let me give you some great
22:50
Speaker 1: analysis here.
22:51
Speaker 2: Ukraine is a country in Europe.
22:54
Speaker 1: It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is
22:58
Speaker 1: a bigger country. I'm quoting foratim. Russia is a powerful country.
23:03
Speaker 1: Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine.
23:06
Speaker 2: So basically that's wrong. Well, I am so glad.
23:09
Speaker 1: I am so glad that she clarified that for all
23:13
Speaker 1: of us that country in Europe. Let me give you
23:16
Speaker 1: a flashback, by the way, about border security, Kama Harris
23:20
Speaker 1: raised her hand in favor of decriminalizing illegal border crossings
23:25
Speaker 1: when she was on the debate stage.
23:27
Speaker 7: What was the question we had a very spirited debate
23:31
Speaker 7: on this stage last night on the topic of decriminalization
23:34
Speaker 7: of the border. If you'd be so kind, raise your
23:36
Speaker 7: hand if you think.
23:37
Speaker 2: It should be a civil offense.
23:39
Speaker 7: Rather than a crime to cross the border without documentation.
23:44
Speaker 7: Can we keep the hands up so we could see them.
23:47
Speaker 1: Kama Harris her hand raised high in the air with
23:51
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. So if you think that Kamala Harris is,
23:55
Speaker 1: you know, and they're gonna I'm telling you, they're gonna
23:58
Speaker 1: try to turn her into a mix between Mother Teresa
24:02
Speaker 1: and Princess Die. If she gets it, they'll give her
24:06
Speaker 1: two billion three billion in free advertising. This is going
24:12
Speaker 1: to be a Hey, the ship you were on was sinking.
24:15
Speaker 1: It was the Titanic, and I got a dinghy. That sucks,
24:18
Speaker 1: but at least it's better than what you had before.
24:21
Speaker 1: That's what this is going to be. I also believe
24:25
Speaker 1: now that this is also an issue of the Democratic
24:31
Speaker 1: Party just being so desperate.
24:35
Speaker 2: You're in the middle of the desert. You need water,
24:37
Speaker 2: you need food.
24:37
Speaker 1: You'll take it from anyone, right, You'll take it from
24:39
Speaker 1: the devil.
24:41
Speaker 2: And this is their devil.
24:46
Speaker 1: This is the deal they were willing to make with
24:48
Speaker 1: the devil to get rid of Joe Biden. Nobody I
24:51
Speaker 1: will say it again, likes Kamala Harris. She cannot keep
24:55
Speaker 1: a staff, she cannot keep people in and around her
24:59
Speaker 1: staff happy. They're quitting on her all the time. She
25:03
Speaker 1: is a disaster. Her staff knows that she is a disaster.
25:12
Speaker 1: And Kamala Harris is an individual that slid into this
25:18
Speaker 1: position for one reason, and one reason only. Joe Biden
25:20
Speaker 1: had a race problem. You may not remember that Joe
25:25
Speaker 1: Biden had a major race problem. Joining me now to
25:30
Speaker 1: talk about all of this is a dear friend of mine.
25:33
Speaker 1: I co host a podcasts with him, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
25:37
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Cruz joins me now, Senator, we were just
25:41
Speaker 1: playing some clips of some of Kamala's most brilliant moments
25:45
Speaker 1: in life. One of them you tweeted out was her
25:49
Speaker 1: talking about the border and she's like, we've been to
25:51
Speaker 1: the border.
25:51
Speaker 2: We've been to the border. No you haven't.
25:52
Speaker 1: Well I haven't been to Europe either, but you know, haha,
25:55
Speaker 1: laugh laugh. This is a person, however, that the Democratic
25:59
Speaker 1: Party going to try to sell is the greatest thing
26:02
Speaker 1: we've ever seen in a savior.
26:05
Speaker 2: Your reaction to this news.
26:07
Speaker 6: Well, the Democrats are gathering around her, at least Joe
26:12
Speaker 6: Biden is. The Clintons are, and I think she's going
26:15
Speaker 6: to end up being their nominee. I think the only
26:18
Speaker 6: person who could possibly push her aside as Michelle Obama,
26:21
Speaker 6: and at least right now there appears to be no
26:25
Speaker 6: effort on her part to do that.
26:27
Speaker 2: Let's talk about how we got to this point.
26:29
Speaker 1: You predicted on our show, and if you haven't ever
26:33
Speaker 1: listened to it, download at Verdict with Ted Cruz wherever
26:36
Speaker 1: you get your podcasts ten months ago that Joe Biden
26:40
Speaker 1: would not in fact be the nominee at the end
26:44
Speaker 1: of the day.
26:46
Speaker 2: You believed it, then.
26:47
Speaker 6: Why, well, it was clear that his metal capacity had
26:52
Speaker 6: diminished powerfully. It was clear every day it was getting worse,
26:57
Speaker 6: and I didn't believe he was going to be able
26:59
Speaker 6: to go to the distance. I also thought that Democrats
27:02
Speaker 6: were getting more and more nervous, and the canary and
27:06
Speaker 6: the coal mine was you started seeing the stakeholders of
27:10
Speaker 6: the Democrat Party floating attacks on them, and in particular
27:13
Speaker 6: the corporate media. Look the corporate media today, they are
27:16
Speaker 6: functionally part of the Democrat Party. They are the left
27:19
Speaker 6: wing of the Democrat Party. And so when you and
27:22
Speaker 6: I on the podcast ten months ago laid out we
27:25
Speaker 6: did the entire podcast where I predicted that Joe Biden
27:29
Speaker 6: would withdraw from the ballot sometime around the Democrat convention
27:35
Speaker 6: sometime this summer. We predicted that ten months ago, and
27:39
Speaker 6: I got to say the reaction when we laid out
27:42
Speaker 6: that predictions. The corporate media ridiculed you and me as
27:46
Speaker 6: moon back conspiracy theorists. They said it was, you know,
27:49
Speaker 6: tinfoil hat type stuff, and it played out exactly as
27:54
Speaker 6: we predicted. I'll point out we made the prediction again
27:58
Speaker 6: the night of the presidential debate between Trump and Biden,
28:01
Speaker 6: and that night you and I did a podcast immediately
28:03
Speaker 6: when the debate was over. We recorded the podcast and
28:07
Speaker 6: I said that night, this I believe will go down
28:12
Speaker 6: in history as the most consequential presidential debate in the
28:17
Speaker 6: history of our country. Why and what I predicted the
28:20
Speaker 6: night of the debate is this debate will remove Joe
28:23
Speaker 6: Biden from the ballot. He will not be on the
28:25
Speaker 6: ballot in November because his performance was so disastrously bad
28:30
Speaker 6: that the Democrats and the corporate media, which is as
28:34
Speaker 6: I said, completely interwoe it into the Democrat party were
28:38
Speaker 6: freaking out. And that night I predicted within three weeks
28:43
Speaker 6: they would drive Joe Biden off the ballot. Well, today
28:46
Speaker 6: they've done.
28:46
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how this unfolded, and it was
28:50
Speaker 1: pretty surreal. You first had this letter come out from
28:54
Speaker 1: Joe Biden saying, hey, I'm gonna drop out of this
28:58
Speaker 1: presential race and did not if you read that letter
29:02
Speaker 1: endorse Kamala Harris correct. Then you had a statement come
29:07
Speaker 1: out later on social media that he was endorsing Kamala Harris.
29:12
Speaker 1: Why the delay there and was it because he needed
29:15
Speaker 1: more guarantees before he would endorse.
29:17
Speaker 6: Well, look, as you know, you and I did an
29:19
Speaker 6: entire emergency podcast today that is just out that does
29:23
Speaker 6: a deep dive into this question. And so if you
29:25
Speaker 6: want to go deep into this download Verdict with Ted Cruz,
29:29
Speaker 6: you can. You can get it right now and get
29:31
Speaker 6: those questions answered at real death. But listen, there was
29:35
Speaker 6: a fairly short window. His first statement, he thanked Kamala Harris,
29:40
Speaker 6: but he didn't endorse her. And what I believe happened
29:43
Speaker 6: is that the powers that be in the Democrat Party
29:46
Speaker 6: put enormous pressure on him, pounded the living daylights out
29:49
Speaker 6: of him, and he quickly put out a tweet saying
29:51
Speaker 6: I endorse her. I think it listened. The Democrat Party
29:55
Speaker 6: is a command and control party. They follow orders, and
29:59
Speaker 6: so what we saw happening and it began with the debate.
30:04
Speaker 6: We saw one after another after another major player in
30:07
Speaker 6: the Democrat Party come out against Joe Biden.
30:10
Speaker 2: So we saw.
30:13
Speaker 6: We saw Nancy Pelosi, we saw Chuck Schumer, we saw
30:16
Speaker 6: Hakeem Jeffries, we saw senator after senator. We saw lots
30:21
Speaker 6: of Republican congressman or Democrat congressman rather coming out against
30:26
Speaker 6: Joe Biden. And understand, not a one of them did
30:29
Speaker 6: it because they're worried that we should not have someone
30:32
Speaker 6: who has dementia as the commander in chief. Not a
30:35
Speaker 6: one of them was worried about someone who's senile and
30:38
Speaker 6: can't tie his shoes having a finger on the nuclear button.
30:41
Speaker 6: They were all okay with that. The reason they freaked
30:44
Speaker 6: out is simple. The American people watched that debate and said,
30:48
Speaker 6: holy cow, this guy is is not there.
30:51
Speaker 2: He's gone.
30:51
Speaker 6: And listen, any one of us who's had an elderly parent,
30:55
Speaker 6: your grandparent, a relative, You've seen what the end of
31:00
Speaker 6: life can be, and it can be sad, and Joe
31:03
Speaker 6: Biden is well in the midst of it. And after
31:05
Speaker 6: that debate, nobody could argue to the contrary. And so
31:10
Speaker 6: the reason all the Democrats jump ship is they were
31:12
Speaker 6: afraid they're going to lose.
31:15
Speaker 1: How the hell do you run against somebody you don't
31:17
Speaker 1: know who is going to be the nominee between now
31:21
Speaker 1: and the convention, because you can't run against Joe Biden anymore?
31:25
Speaker 2: How do you do it? What do you do?
31:26
Speaker 1: Do you run against Kama twenty percent of the time, you
31:28
Speaker 1: run against News some ten percent time, you run against
31:31
Speaker 1: Shapiro another five percent? What in the hell does the
31:34
Speaker 1: Trump campaign do for the next thirty days.
31:37
Speaker 6: Well, let me first underscore just how historic this moment is.
31:41
Speaker 6: This has never happened in the history of our country.
31:44
Speaker 6: We have never had one of the two major party
31:47
Speaker 6: nominees drop out anywhere close to this close to the election.
31:51
Speaker 6: We're one hundred and six days away from the general election.
31:54
Speaker 6: That the closest analog we have is the nineteen sixty
31:57
Speaker 6: eight presidential election where lby Lynnon Vaine Johnson was the
32:01
Speaker 6: incumbent president, the Democrat, and he opted not to run
32:05
Speaker 6: for reelection. Joe Biden now joins him as the second
32:08
Speaker 6: incumbent president to opt not to run for reelection. But
32:12
Speaker 6: LBJ did so much much earlier in the cycle. There
32:15
Speaker 6: was a full on primary. At the end of the day,
32:17
Speaker 6: Hubert Humphrey the vice president one but one after only
32:21
Speaker 6: a very contested race. Interestingly enough, in that cycle there
32:25
Speaker 6: was someone named Robert F. Kennedy who was running who
32:27
Speaker 6: tragically was shot and assassinated. We now have RFK Junior,
32:31
Speaker 6: his son, running this cycle. So there are eerie parallels
32:35
Speaker 6: in sixty eight as this year, the Democrat convention is
32:39
Speaker 6: in Chicago. That convention was an absolute mess. It was chaotic,
32:43
Speaker 6: there were angry left wing protesters outside, there were violent
32:46
Speaker 6: clashes outside, and it contributed to a landslide victory of
32:51
Speaker 6: Richard Dixon in that election, and the Republicans we may
32:54
Speaker 6: well see history repeat itself once again. So what does
32:58
Speaker 6: the Trump campaign do now? I would say about forty percent,
33:03
Speaker 6: you run against Kamala Harris. I think Kamala Harris at
33:05
Speaker 6: this point is very likely to be the Democrat nominee,
33:09
Speaker 6: and so about forty percent you run against her. In
33:11
Speaker 6: about sixty percent, you just run against the democrats failed agenda.
33:16
Speaker 6: And understand, this policy record is not just Joe Biden's,
33:20
Speaker 6: it's not just Kamala Harris's, but it is every Democrat
33:23
Speaker 6: in the Senate, It's every Democrat in the House, All
33:25
Speaker 6: of them have voted repeatedly in favor of trillions and
33:28
Speaker 6: spending trillions in debt, printing money we don't have inflation
33:32
Speaker 6: that is hammering working men and women. All of them
33:35
Speaker 6: have voted repeatedly in favor of the open borders and
33:37
Speaker 6: the invasion we have on our southern border. All of
33:41
Speaker 6: them have voted in favor of releasing criminals from jail
33:44
Speaker 6: and defunding the police and undermining law enforcement. And all
33:49
Speaker 6: of them have voted in favor of this incredibly disastrous
33:53
Speaker 6: foreign policy that includes undermining our friends and allies, including
33:57
Speaker 6: especially the State of Israel, and all also appeasing and
34:01
Speaker 6: showing weakness to our enemies. So in the Senate, every
34:04
Speaker 6: Democrat senator has voted in favor of Biden and Harris's
34:08
Speaker 6: disastrous policy of flowing over one hundred billion dollars to
34:13
Speaker 6: the Ayatola Kambani and Iran. Iran, in turns, provides ninety
34:17
Speaker 6: percent of the funding to AMAS and ninety percent of
34:19
Speaker 6: the funding to Hesbala. So I think what you do
34:22
Speaker 6: is forty percent Kamala sixty percent. Their record is a disaster.
34:27
Speaker 6: It's hurt Americans across the board, and it doesn't matter
34:30
Speaker 6: which widget you drop into the slot. They've got to
34:33
Speaker 6: defend their record, and the record is a train wreck.
34:36
Speaker 1: Final question for you, and it's an important one. We
34:40
Speaker 1: are winning in every poll against Biden. That's obviously why
34:43
Speaker 1: Biden dropped out. I think this is going to be
34:46
Speaker 1: a complete reset. You and I just spent time did
34:49
Speaker 1: several podcasts from Milwaukee, and your concern, as you and
34:53
Speaker 1: I talked about on the show, was we were over
34:55
Speaker 1: confident coming out of there. Yes, I think this campaign
34:58
Speaker 1: is completely The numbers we we have right now are
35:00
Speaker 1: completely worthless.
35:02
Speaker 2: In thirty days.
35:03
Speaker 1: It's a whole, brand new campaign with all brand new
35:05
Speaker 1: polling data.
35:06
Speaker 2: We have seen. Everything's happened to this point doesn't matter.
35:09
Speaker 6: Am I right or wrong? Look, that's exactly right. The
35:11
Speaker 6: polls today do not matter. And the Democrats deliberately waited
35:16
Speaker 6: to do this until after the Republican Convention. The convention
35:18
Speaker 6: was the best Republican convention I've ever seen. We are
35:21
Speaker 6: more unified than we have ever been. I assume Trump
35:24
Speaker 6: will get a bounce out of it. Typically the historical
35:28
Speaker 6: average is about four points, but this announcement is designed
35:32
Speaker 6: to cut that off and I got to say, on
35:35
Speaker 6: one level, I was encouraged how unified we were in Milwaukee,
35:38
Speaker 6: but another level, it scared me because I'm worried. I
35:40
Speaker 6: don't want Republicans to be overconfident. There was an air
35:45
Speaker 6: of celebration in Milwaukee, and frankly, the time for celebrating
35:48
Speaker 6: is after election day, not now. Now is the time
35:51
Speaker 6: for hard work. We're going to have effectively a month
35:54
Speaker 6: long Democrat convention where they're going to dominate the news
35:58
Speaker 6: saying how great all their choices are. That is dangerous.
36:01
Speaker 6: We need to rally behind Donald Trump to get reelected.
36:04
Speaker 6: And I'll point out I'm running in a very tough
36:06
Speaker 6: reelect in Texas where a month of relentless corporate media
36:11
Speaker 6: pr for the Democrats is dangerous.
36:12
Speaker 2: So let me encourage folks.
36:14
Speaker 6: Come to our website, Ted Cruz dot org, Ted Cruz
36:17
Speaker 6: dot org.
36:18
Speaker 2: We need your support.
36:19
Speaker 6: Come to the website Ted Cruz dot org because the Democrats,
36:22
Speaker 6: Chuck Schumer and George Soros are going to spend over
36:25
Speaker 6: one hundred million dollars trying to beat me in Texas.
36:28
Speaker 6: So please come to Ted Cruz dot org and stand
36:30
Speaker 6: with us.
36:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's important, and I'll say it to everybody listening.
36:34
Speaker 1: The number one Senator that they are targeting, the Democrats
36:37
Speaker 1: are targeting, is center Ted Cruz.
36:40
Speaker 2: Ted Cruise dot Org. Get involved in the race.
36:42
Speaker 1: It's gonna have more money, probably come from outside the
36:45
Speaker 1: state than inside and will be the most expensive Senate
36:49
Speaker 1: race in history of this country. Senator, I appreciate you
