The Award for Deception goes to the Media's Complicity in Biden's Decline · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: All right, if you are on x and you want
0:02
Speaker 1: to see the video of like rewriting of history by
0:05
Speaker 1: the low lefties at the White House Correspondence Center, I
0:08
Speaker 1: just retweeted it.
0:09
Speaker 2: It's up there because I want you to see the room.
0:12
Speaker 1: I want you to see and witness the facial expressions
0:16
Speaker 1: of the media as Alex is up there on stage
0:20
Speaker 1: trying to rewrite history of the massive cover up which
0:25
Speaker 1: they were clearly involved in, of the decline of a
0:29
Speaker 1: guy by the name of Joe Biden who was our
0:32
Speaker 1: president of the United States of America. I hope one
0:35
Speaker 1: day that we look back on this issue and people
0:38
Speaker 1: actually admit and acknowledge what it really is that we
0:42
Speaker 1: had a shadow government elected by no one that ran
0:44
Speaker 1: the United States of America for like four years. We
0:47
Speaker 1: had a coup, and the media covered up the coup
0:50
Speaker 1: because Joe Biden wasn't the one calling the shots, folks,
0:55
Speaker 1: Joe Biden wasn't calling any of the shots. So there
0:58
Speaker 1: were people around him that were running our government. They
1:00
Speaker 1: were elected by no one. That is a coup. Now
1:03
Speaker 1: Alex is trying to like regain the trust of the
1:06
Speaker 1: people who like have no trust for the media right now, saying.
1:08
Speaker 2: Well, we probably could have done a better job, including.
1:10
Speaker 1: Me, but thanks for giving me award for actually talking
1:12
Speaker 1: about what the American people already knew years before, which
1:15
Speaker 1: was there was a massive cognitive decline of Joe Biden,
1:18
Speaker 1: and the media didn't do their damn job.
1:20
Speaker 2: They covered it up.
1:20
Speaker 1: They were propagandists for this White House. They were state
1:23
Speaker 1: sponsored media. But apparently now if you're Alex and you're
1:28
Speaker 1: trying to rehab the press, they're like, all right, we'll
1:30
Speaker 1: give you an award, just you know, mention it, but
1:32
Speaker 1: don't go too hard on the media. And here is
1:35
Speaker 1: what Alex tweeted himself, like, this is narcissism.
1:38
Speaker 3: One oh one, listen, one serious note to my bones.
1:42
Speaker 3: I believe that reporting and the White House Corresponds association
1:48
Speaker 3: is as necessary as ever. President Biden's decline and it's
1:53
Speaker 3: cover up by the people around him is a reminder
1:57
Speaker 3: that every White House, regardless of party, is capable of deception.
2:02
Speaker 3: But being truth tellers also means telling the truth about ourselves.
2:06
Speaker 3: We myself included, missed a lot of this story, and
2:11
Speaker 3: some people.
2:12
Speaker 2: Trust us less because of it.
2:14
Speaker 3: We bear some responsibility for faith in the media, being
2:19
Speaker 3: at such lows. I say this because acknowledging errors builds trust,
2:33
Speaker 3: and being defensive about them further erodes it.
2:37
Speaker 2: We should have done better.
2:39
Speaker 3: I believe our mission is vital in a world where
2:43
Speaker 3: people are struggling to figure out what's true and people
2:48
Speaker 3: with power are not telling the truth. I also believe
2:52
Speaker 3: that this association has been, is, and will continue to
2:57
Speaker 3: be critical to that mission. Thank you to the association's
3:02
Speaker 3: leadership for your unflinching defense of the First Amendment, not
3:07
Speaker 3: just now but always. Your decades of daily battles on
3:11
Speaker 3: behalf of reporters is why this award is one of
3:17
Speaker 3: the great honors of my life. Oh one last thing,
3:23
Speaker 3: I love you, Mom. Thank you guys.
3:26
Speaker 1: I mean I just laugh like he's like, we've got
3:28
Speaker 1: to do bad, like, but we did do a good job.
3:31
Speaker 1: So I also want to be clear on the logic
3:35
Speaker 1: axios is. Alex Thompson blamed the Biden administration for covering
3:39
Speaker 1: up his mental decline. Says the media simply missed a
3:42
Speaker 1: lot of the story. You guys were not just involved.
3:45
Speaker 1: If there was a crime that was committed, you guys
3:47
Speaker 1: could have been like indicted for being an accessory to
3:50
Speaker 1: the crime.
3:50
Speaker 2: That was committed.
3:52
Speaker 1: Anyone with eyes, anyone with the ears, knew that Biden
3:56
Speaker 1: had a major mental decline.
3:57
Speaker 2: We knew it.
3:59
Speaker 1: And now the media trying to rewrite history by pretending, well,
4:01
Speaker 1: they weren't really a part of it actively covering it up.
4:04
Speaker 2: You guys were covering it up.
4:06
Speaker 1: You were covering it up, and you know that you
4:09
Speaker 1: were covering it up. You want to talk about just
4:12
Speaker 1: lack of self awareness, like this is it. The intro,
4:16
Speaker 1: by the way, to him, was also just totally insane.
4:21
Speaker 2: Kristen Welker, all right, Meet the Press.
4:23
Speaker 1: Moderator was doing the intro, and this is what she
4:28
Speaker 1: said about the story. This is NBC News, Meet the Press,
4:32
Speaker 1: and this is a woman. You know, Kristen Welker is like,
4:36
Speaker 1: you should respect me.
4:37
Speaker 2: I know what I'm doing. I'm a real journalist, listen.
4:40
Speaker 4: Impartiality, integrity, and a deep knowledge of the presidency. The
4:46
Speaker 4: award also includes a prize of twenty five hundred dollars.
4:51
Speaker 4: This year's award goes to Alex Thompson of Axios.
4:58
Speaker 2: I love this, like we're gonna give you money for
5:00
Speaker 2: covering it up.
5:06
Speaker 4: The judges said Thompson's aggressive reporting on President Biden, especially
5:11
Speaker 4: leading up to and after the Trump Biden debate, revealed
5:15
Speaker 4: the president's cognitive decline was impacting his ability to do
5:19
Speaker 4: his job. Information the White House tried to conceal.
5:23
Speaker 2: You guys were concealing it.
5:26
Speaker 1: How many times did Christen Welker at NBC News see
5:29
Speaker 1: the clear decline? And I love how they're like, all right, well,
5:31
Speaker 1: we got on board and reported it after the fact,
5:34
Speaker 1: and now we're gonna give each other awards for it.
5:36
Speaker 1: After the American people saw the president in such a
5:39
Speaker 1: massive decline that there was no way to stop what
5:43
Speaker 1: was gonna be a bloodbath election, and they forced him
5:46
Speaker 1: out in an essence of democratic coup where the five
5:49
Speaker 1: godfather families the Democratic Party all got together and they're like, yeah,
5:54
Speaker 1: this isn't gonna work, Like there's no way this guy
5:57
Speaker 1: can win.
5:57
Speaker 2: And now they're giving each other.
5:58
Speaker 4: Awards, ladies and gentlemen. The White House Correspondent Association is
6:03
Speaker 4: pleased to give the Aldo Beckman Award to Alex Thompson.
6:07
Speaker 2: I mean, it's in a twenty five hundred dollars.
6:10
Speaker 1: It's just disgusting the wh I mean, it's just like
6:14
Speaker 1: he was really doing a good job after everyone knew it.
6:18
Speaker 1: And by the way, when this happened, the only reason
6:21
Speaker 1: why the media after the last debate actually started trashing
6:25
Speaker 1: Joe Biden and telling you how bad the mental decline was,
6:28
Speaker 1: which is what Alex Thompson got an award for, is
6:30
Speaker 1: because they knew they'd lost the election, so then they
6:33
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of Joe Biden. So then they
6:35
Speaker 1: went to work at dismantling Joe Biden's presidency so they
6:39
Speaker 1: had a chance with any other candidate like.
6:42
Speaker 2: Alex Thompson Navaska.
6:43
Speaker 1: Actually, it's reporting on Biden's medal decline was only because
6:46
Speaker 1: they thought they were going to lose the election, and
6:48
Speaker 1: then they give an award for this. He was defending
6:52
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's condition as far back as what the night
6:55
Speaker 1: before the disastrous President of debate with Donald J.
6:59
Speaker 2: Trump? Right? Am I wrong? Here?
7:02
Speaker 5: Like?
7:02
Speaker 2: Am I wrong?
7:03
Speaker 1: How many times were there massive mental I mean gaffs
7:07
Speaker 1: from Joe Biden.
7:09
Speaker 2: Biden talked to the press.
7:10
Speaker 1: Let's go back to August twenty fourth to twenty nineteen,
7:14
Speaker 1: and he was in New Hampshire and he said, I
7:15
Speaker 1: love this place. Look what's not to like about Vermont
7:20
Speaker 1: in terms of its beauty. That's what the present said.
7:22
Speaker 1: Well in New Hampshire, esh.
7:24
Speaker 2: Ken, I'm back.
7:26
Speaker 6: I've been here a number of times. Last time was
7:27
Speaker 6: I think all the way back in twenty fourteen, But
7:31
Speaker 6: I've been here before that. I love this place. Look,
7:34
Speaker 6: what's not to like about Vermont terms of the beauty
7:36
Speaker 6: of it and what a neat town. But I mean,
7:39
Speaker 6: this is sort of a scenic, beautiful town. And mayor's
7:42
Speaker 6: been a good guy, and they've got everybody's been really friendly.
7:45
Speaker 6: I like Kena Lott.
7:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it a lot. I love that. You know,
7:48
Speaker 2: what a great place in Vermont, Sir, you're in New Hampshire.
7:51
Speaker 1: That was the only people around him, by the way,
7:53
Speaker 1: Lindy's Diner in Vermont, as he put it, which was
7:57
Speaker 1: actually New Hampshire.
7:59
Speaker 2: Was the press.
8:01
Speaker 1: They saw it then in nineteen did they ask a question. No,
8:04
Speaker 1: As it got worse and worse and worse and worse,
8:07
Speaker 1: did they say anything about it. No, they didn't say
8:10
Speaker 1: a damn thing about it because they didn't want to
8:12
Speaker 1: talk about it.
8:13
Speaker 2: They didn't want to admit it. They were a part
8:15
Speaker 2: of the cover up.
8:16
Speaker 1: And only after the American people saw him in that
8:20
Speaker 1: debate just tell how bad it was. Did the media
8:23
Speaker 1: start reporting on the story right like, only after, only after?
8:29
Speaker 2: They weren't, They weren't digging.
8:31
Speaker 1: In fact, I would argue that probably Barack Obama and
8:35
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton and Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi,
8:39
Speaker 1: they were probably calming their friends of me and going
8:41
Speaker 1: all right, hey, we need you guys to take him down.
8:43
Speaker 2: Now take him down. Now we got to have a
8:44
Speaker 2: chance with somebody else. Take him down. Now take him down,
8:47
Speaker 2: Now take him down. Now we got it.
8:48
Speaker 1: We gotta take him down like we got it. We
8:50
Speaker 1: gotta take him down. Let's go, Let's take him down.
8:53
Speaker 1: He can't win, he can't win. We gotta get rid
8:54
Speaker 1: of Joe Biden. All right, everybody turn on him. Three two,
8:58
Speaker 1: one go, And everyone did it, And now they give
9:01
Speaker 1: each other damn awards for it. You want to know
9:03
Speaker 1: why the American people do not listen to the media anymore.
9:05
Speaker 1: You want to know why they don't trust the media anymore.
9:08
Speaker 1: This is exactly why. And every time they do this crap,
9:11
Speaker 1: we should call them out, like every single time. Let
9:15
Speaker 1: me tell you about Patriot Mobile real quick. If you've
9:17
Speaker 1: got a cell phone and your cell phone is not
9:21
Speaker 1: with Patriot Mobile. Then the question I got to ask
9:23
Speaker 1: you is why why have you not made the switch? Well,
9:27
Speaker 1: you should make the switch, and the deal is really easy.
9:31
Speaker 1: You get cutting edge technology. Switching has never been easier.
9:35
Speaker 1: There's no store visits, no hassles. You get to keep
9:38
Speaker 1: your same phone umber you have right now. You get
9:40
Speaker 1: to keep your same phone you've got now or upgrade
9:42
Speaker 1: to a new one. And they have a one hundred
9:44
Speaker 1: percent US based team that can activate.
9:46
Speaker 2: You literally in minutes.
9:48
Speaker 1: The other thing that I love about Patriot Mobile is
9:50
Speaker 1: this they have access to all three major networks, meaning
9:54
Speaker 1: you get exceptional nationwide coverage.
9:57
Speaker 2: I use Patriot Mobile and half for ye.
10:00
Speaker 1: They can even put a second number on a different
10:03
Speaker 1: network on your phone. It's like carrying two phones in one.
10:07
Speaker 1: You can have a work number and a personal number.
10:10
Speaker 1: It's amazing. They have unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming,
10:16
Speaker 1: Internet on the go devices, and home internet backup as well.
10:20
Speaker 1: You can get all of this from Patriot Mobile. So
10:24
Speaker 1: why are you waiting? Make the switch today? And by
10:27
Speaker 1: the way, when you pay your bill, you know that
10:30
Speaker 1: about five percent of that bill every month is going
10:32
Speaker 1: back to support conservative causes. Causes that stand for our
10:36
Speaker 1: First or Second Amendment rights, the rights of unborn children,
10:40
Speaker 1: and they stand with our veterans, our first responders, our
10:43
Speaker 1: police and firemen, are EMTs and are wounded warriors.
10:47
Speaker 2: So make a difference with every call you make. So
10:49
Speaker 2: right now, go to Patriotmobile.
10:52
Speaker 1: Dot com slash ferguson or call them nine to seven
10:56
Speaker 1: to two Patriot. You're going to get a free month
10:59
Speaker 1: of service with the promo code ferguson. So switch to
11:01
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile and make a difference with every call you make.
11:05
Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson or nine to seven
11:09
Speaker 1: to Patriot. Alex Thompson was at the White House Correspondence
11:13
Speaker 1: dinner and he got an award and he was like, hey,
11:17
Speaker 1: we Price should have done a better job of like
11:19
Speaker 1: covering the decline of Joe Biden. I'm like covering it.
11:22
Speaker 1: You guys help were part of the cover up. And
11:24
Speaker 1: they're like patting each other on the back and kind
11:26
Speaker 1: of like, yeah.
11:27
Speaker 2: We PRIB should have done a better job.
11:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, like really Now the White House Press Thereger was
11:32
Speaker 1: asked about this, and I want you to hear what
11:34
Speaker 1: was said.
11:35
Speaker 5: Alex Thompson said at the White House Correspondent Center, and
11:38
Speaker 5: I'm gonna read his quote. President Biden's decline and it's
11:41
Speaker 5: cover up by the people around him is a reminder
11:43
Speaker 5: that every White House, regardless of the party, is capable
11:46
Speaker 5: of deception. We myself included, miss a lot of this story,
11:49
Speaker 5: and some people trust us less because of it. Can
11:52
Speaker 5: you comment on those remarks and whether you agree with
11:54
Speaker 5: that assessment.
11:55
Speaker 7: I do agree with that assessment from Alex Thompson, who
11:58
Speaker 7: I understand won an award for writing a story months
12:02
Speaker 7: and perhaps years after the American people already knew that
12:05
Speaker 7: story to be true. Millions of Americans watched our mentally
12:09
Speaker 7: incompetent president struggle with his day to day duties of
12:12
Speaker 7: this office. We watched our country be ran into the
12:15
Speaker 7: ground as a result, and nobody in the media wanted
12:18
Speaker 7: to write about that.
12:19
Speaker 2: Talk about it.
12:20
Speaker 7: There were many many reporters, I will say, write leaning
12:24
Speaker 7: reporters who did talk about that, who didn't get awards,
12:27
Speaker 7: didn't get coverage. In fact, they were land masted for
12:30
Speaker 7: their coverage. And I remember being on President Trump's campaign
12:33
Speaker 7: talking about Joe Biden's clear mental incompetence and being accused
12:38
Speaker 7: by people in this room of manufacturing deep fake videos
12:42
Speaker 7: trying to persuade the public into not believing what they
12:46
Speaker 7: saw with their own eyes for many years. And I
12:49
Speaker 7: think it's about time the legacy media finally admits that
12:51
Speaker 7: was one of the greatest cover ups and scandals that
12:54
Speaker 7: ever took place in American history. And certainly it did
12:57
Speaker 7: contribute to the decline in the trust that Americans have
13:00
Speaker 7: for the legacy media.
13:01
Speaker 1: Hell yeah, by the way, Caroline's absolutely right, I mean right,
13:07
Speaker 1: this again is the media trying to rewrite history, implying
13:11
Speaker 1: that it's some somehow, in some way they got it right.
13:15
Speaker 2: Well, we we we got it right.
13:17
Speaker 1: We just weren't really there at the very beginning of
13:20
Speaker 1: getting it right like we were, we were right, but
13:24
Speaker 1: but but we probably could have like maybe told you
13:27
Speaker 1: a little bit more about it.
13:29
Speaker 2: Are you insane?
13:31
Speaker 1: Like these people are giving each other awards on this issue.
13:36
Speaker 1: They're telling you that that this guy is like, you know,
13:41
Speaker 1: and what he said was really like somehow noble Alex Thompson,
13:46
Speaker 1: by the way, put it out okay, And and he
13:49
Speaker 1: put out his own video like like like basically narcissism
13:52
Speaker 1: one O one, And he put out the video and
13:55
Speaker 1: this is what he said the whe else correspondent's been there.
13:57
Speaker 1: By the way, listen to the lack of excitement from
13:59
Speaker 1: the crowd as well.
14:00
Speaker 2: Like the crowd, they.
14:01
Speaker 1: Weren't excited about this at on because this is like
14:04
Speaker 1: the ultimate rewriting of history.
14:07
Speaker 2: It's just amazing. One of you just sent me a note.
14:10
Speaker 1: It's had been I saw you earlier day on Fox
14:12
Speaker 1: and you were talking about this exact issue of the
14:16
Speaker 1: decline of the President Joe Biden at the time. And
14:18
Speaker 1: now the media is like, oh, we did it right,
14:20
Speaker 1: and we you know, we're so great and we finally
14:22
Speaker 1: cover a story, but we probably get a better job. No,
14:24
Speaker 1: you were involved in the cover up, and they're like,
14:26
Speaker 1: what you said on with Harris fagginer day was spot on.
14:28
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play part of that for you, all right.
14:30
Speaker 1: This is what I said on Fox earlier today. As
14:33
Speaker 1: they're all like, oh, we're just so good, let's give
14:36
Speaker 1: each other awards. We covered Biden's decline only after he
14:39
Speaker 1: screwed up in debate to the point where there was
14:41
Speaker 1: a coup by the Democratic Party against him, like from within.
14:45
Speaker 2: By the way, you want to talk about the reporting here,
14:48
Speaker 2: there's a very good.
14:49
Speaker 1: Chance if Joe Biden would not have been convinced to
14:51
Speaker 1: step down, that they would have twenty fifth Amendment in him,
14:55
Speaker 1: like they would have actually removed him from office. The Democrats,
14:58
Speaker 1: not the Republicans, the Democrats. And now the meetings like, yeah,
15:01
Speaker 1: let's give each other an award for our amazing coverage
15:04
Speaker 1: of the decline of Joe Biden. What listen? Yeah, Number one,
15:09
Speaker 1: he goes, we got it wrong.
15:10
Speaker 3: No, you didn't.
15:10
Speaker 1: You deliberately covered it up. You got it right to
15:13
Speaker 1: serve your own interest. You said, at all costs, we
15:16
Speaker 1: are gonna save Joe Biden because he's the candidate, and
15:19
Speaker 1: the media saw him up and close every single day
15:22
Speaker 1: when he was out there, everyone was talking about the decline.
15:26
Speaker 2: They deliberately were a part of the cover up.
15:28
Speaker 1: And they're like, well, we've lost trust trust, are you
15:31
Speaker 1: kidding me? You guys were basically state sponsored media. You
15:35
Speaker 1: went to the White House and you said, what do
15:37
Speaker 1: you need us to do for you today? What do
15:39
Speaker 1: you need us to cover up? How can we protect you?
15:42
Speaker 1: How do we not ask questions that are tough for
15:44
Speaker 1: this president. They never pushed this president. They coddled him,
15:48
Speaker 1: they protected him, and now they want to Hey, we
15:51
Speaker 1: did okay on.
15:52
Speaker 2: This story, but we maybe could have done better. I'm sorry.
15:55
Speaker 2: The American people witnessed what you did.
15:58
Speaker 1: No one trusts you, and look at the faces in
16:00
Speaker 1: the room.
16:01
Speaker 2: They didn't learn from this.
16:02
Speaker 1: Even if he was quote brave, and I don't think
16:04
Speaker 1: he was, because if he was brave, you would have
16:05
Speaker 1: burned the house down that night, and he didn't. He
16:08
Speaker 1: was very timid and cautious how he said this. It
16:10
Speaker 1: was very clear he thought about his words. But the
16:13
Speaker 1: faces in the crowd, Harris, you put him on the screen.
16:16
Speaker 2: A moment ago.
16:17
Speaker 1: They knew that this is like, really, this is an
16:20
Speaker 1: awkward moment. Why is he doing this to us? Like,
16:22
Speaker 1: we don't do journalism, we do propaganda. No one in
16:25
Speaker 1: that room was like, yeah, let's be more honest in
16:28
Speaker 1: the future. There's like, what's wrong with this guy on TV?
16:30
Speaker 8: Well, it wasn't just any of that. It was that
16:33
Speaker 8: the questions still aren't coming, you know. I was asking
16:37
Speaker 8: all along, if we can see it at Fox News, yeah,
16:42
Speaker 8: and maybe a few other areas around the globe, what
16:46
Speaker 8: our world leaders think when they meet with this president.
16:49
Speaker 8: What kind of damage did that non non thinking human
16:53
Speaker 8: being at times, stumbling and bumbling and can't finish this
16:56
Speaker 8: calling Trump supporter's garbage, but then saying it was a misspeak.
16:59
Speaker 8: I mean, all the things that were going on, What
17:01
Speaker 8: about our relationships around the world that depend on a
17:04
Speaker 8: sentient president.
17:06
Speaker 1: Well, and this was a president that quickly was incapacitated
17:09
Speaker 1: at the end and probably the middle of his presidency.
17:12
Speaker 1: Just look at the hours that he operated, Look at
17:14
Speaker 1: the nap times that were scheduled, look at when they
17:16
Speaker 1: ended the day.
17:17
Speaker 2: That is an issue for national security.
17:20
Speaker 1: This is the biggest story, in my opinion, heres of
17:23
Speaker 1: my lifetime politically, with a media that willingly covered it
17:27
Speaker 1: up because they wanted him to win no matter what,
17:29
Speaker 1: and they didn't care if he was incapacity. They didn't
17:31
Speaker 1: care if he couldn't make decisions. They didn't care that we,
17:34
Speaker 1: in essence, had a shadow government running the United States
17:37
Speaker 1: of America that was elected by no one because they
17:41
Speaker 1: wanted the power and the access to this White House
17:44
Speaker 1: and the propaganda.
17:45
Speaker 8: Look at what you just said, and look at where
17:47
Speaker 8: the Democrats are on Trump. They're angry over Elon Musk
17:50
Speaker 8: because he wasn't elected to do such and such as
17:52
Speaker 8: a senior advisor other presidents have had senior advisors. I'm
17:57
Speaker 8: really baffled because what you just said is them projecting
18:01
Speaker 8: what was happening onto Republicans.
18:04
Speaker 1: No doubt, And I think that's where the Democratic Party
18:07
Speaker 1: is now.
18:07
Speaker 2: This is what they do. Get ready for it.
18:09
Speaker 1: They will lie to you, they will deceit, and they
18:12
Speaker 1: will use any way they can to come after you.
18:13
Speaker 1: And if that doesn't work, they'll just come after you
18:15
Speaker 1: with activist judges, or lock you up, or rage your
18:18
Speaker 1: home and go through your drawers and your clothes. This
18:21
Speaker 1: is now where they are the Democratic Party. I've been
18:23
Speaker 1: saying it for a while. I'll say it again. They
18:25
Speaker 1: are dead. They're filled with Marxist and socialists, and they
18:28
Speaker 1: lie to you to get their way. They will never stop.
18:31
Speaker 1: And there's the man on TV is proof of it.
18:33
Speaker 1: He was sleeping on the job for years and they
18:35
Speaker 1: covered it up.
18:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
18:37
Speaker 1: I love how they're all rewriting history now, every one
18:42
Speaker 1: of them. They're all acting like they did some grand thing.
18:47
Speaker 1: We covered it and we could have maybe done a
18:49
Speaker 1: better job, but we didn't know.
18:51
Speaker 2: The media knew of the.
18:52
Speaker 1: Decline every day, and they chose propaganda over journalism. They
18:58
Speaker 1: didn't get it wrong. They deliberately chose to lie to
19:02
Speaker 1: the American people. I want all of you real quick
19:07
Speaker 1: to go look at something that I just posted, all right,
19:10
Speaker 1: I posted up on X and I want to talk
19:12
Speaker 1: about this issue now. There is a fake controversy right
19:16
Speaker 1: now over Donald Trump wearing a blue suit. I wish
19:23
Speaker 1: I was joking. I'm not to the Pope's funeral. And
19:27
Speaker 1: there's a picture that was taken that was put out
19:30
Speaker 1: there and fortune, for example, I had so the Vatican
19:33
Speaker 1: ask Pope Francis funeral attendees to wear all black. Trump
19:37
Speaker 1: wore a blue suit, and they turn into like this
19:39
Speaker 1: big thing. Now the way they cut the picture, it
19:42
Speaker 1: shows Donald Trump with one, two, three, four, five, six
19:46
Speaker 1: seven people around him in black. And I want you
19:50
Speaker 1: to look at that picture, and then we put out
19:52
Speaker 1: the actual picture of the real picture. You tell me
19:56
Speaker 1: if Joe Biden three rows back is wearing a blue
19:59
Speaker 1: sit or a black suit. And this is again what
20:04
Speaker 1: we're up against. Go look at it right now. If
20:06
Speaker 1: you're on ex at Ben Ferguson's show. Okay, I'll also
20:10
Speaker 1: post a picture up on Instagram if you're there, and
20:13
Speaker 1: on Facebook, so it's there as well wherever you are
20:16
Speaker 1: if you're on Facebook following me Ben Ferguson on Instagram,
20:19
Speaker 1: It's Ben Ferguson podcast. Go look at the picture right now,
20:23
Speaker 1: and I want you to see just how much of
20:25
Speaker 1: a scumbag the media is on this again another lie.
20:29
Speaker 1: They're like, Oh, he did it on purpose. The President
20:33
Speaker 1: did it on purpose. He wore a blue suit to
20:37
Speaker 1: disrespect the pope. He's out of control. There was an
20:40
Speaker 1: entire segment on CNN about this where they were talking
20:45
Speaker 1: about this conspiracy and you're like, what world are you
20:49
Speaker 1: living in? And they're like, I mean, they're sitting there
20:51
Speaker 1: on TV and they're telling you that this is some
20:55
Speaker 1: sort of massive protocol mistake.
20:59
Speaker 2: They've also got an other one.
21:00
Speaker 1: It's a conspiracy theory with Donald Trump's weight loss.
21:03
Speaker 2: I wish I was joking. I'm not.
21:05
Speaker 1: There's also something else that's happened, and that is celebration.
21:10
Speaker 1: Truckers tonight celebrating And if you're a truck driver, by
21:13
Speaker 1: the way, I want to know what you think about
21:16
Speaker 1: this story, because there's a lot of people that are
21:17
Speaker 1: screaming on the left right now, especially over the last
21:20
Speaker 1: couple hours, this is a racist decision.
21:23
Speaker 2: Democrats. I think are going to double down this back.
21:26
Speaker 2: It's racist. Now. If you don't know the story, let
21:28
Speaker 2: me explain to you real quick.
21:30
Speaker 1: Transportation Secretary, good friend of mine, Sean Duffy, is treating
21:34
Speaker 1: English as a priority, not a backseat language when it
21:39
Speaker 1: comes to jeopardizing road safety.
21:42
Speaker 2: As a truck driver.
21:44
Speaker 1: Truckers right now are celebrating as Trump has blocked a
21:49
Speaker 1: loophole for foreign drivers which put many people's lives, they say,
21:53
Speaker 1: at risk. Truckers celebrating Donald Trump's decision to restore enforcement
21:57
Speaker 1: of a rule that excludes foreign truckers from the roses
22:00
Speaker 1: if they cannot read English language signs and instructions. By
22:05
Speaker 1: the way, this doesn't seem crazy at all. No, it's
22:07
Speaker 1: not racist. It's about public safety.
22:09
Speaker 2: They're celebrating. Everybody's excited, they're happy.
22:13
Speaker 1: That is what the co founder of the American Truckers
22:15
Speaker 1: United said, who explained that the truckers problem is real. Uh.
22:21
Speaker 2: This is a simple change that's.
22:23
Speaker 1: Been set by an executive order being signed by Trump.
22:26
Speaker 1: The order tells the Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to ensure
22:30
Speaker 1: drivers violating English proficiency rules are placed out of service,
22:35
Speaker 1: enhancing roadway safety and directs them to revamp other aspects
22:40
Speaker 1: of the trucking industry as well.
22:43
Speaker 2: Now, in twenty.
22:44
Speaker 1: Sixteen, President Barack Obama's deputies told highway inspectors to stop
22:48
Speaker 1: pulling licenses from drivers who cannot speak English. This was
22:53
Speaker 1: not some big public thing, by the way, This is
22:55
Speaker 1: what you call it quiet shh. Hey, we don't want
22:58
Speaker 1: we don't want anybody that can't speak English and can't
23:00
Speaker 1: read the you know, what's happening on the roadways and
23:03
Speaker 1: the signage to lose their jobs. So you guys stop
23:05
Speaker 1: pulling their licenses, right, Because we want illegals in this country.
23:09
Speaker 1: We want them to be hired. We certainly don't want
23:11
Speaker 1: them to you know, get fired from a job because
23:14
Speaker 1: or not be hired for a job because they can't
23:16
Speaker 1: speak English or read the damn signs.
23:19
Speaker 5: Right.
23:20
Speaker 1: So Obama's deputy said, hey, stop pulling the licenses, and
23:24
Speaker 1: they said, no problem now. That issue then ballooned under
23:27
Speaker 1: President Joe Biden when many thousands of illegal migrants, legalized
23:33
Speaker 1: migrants and b one visa visitors got commercial drivers' licenses
23:38
Speaker 1: via the lax rules in California and other states. As
23:41
Speaker 1: they said, hey, we will put illegal immigrants ahead and
23:44
Speaker 1: those that don't speak English ahead of public safety. A
23:47
Speaker 1: prominent trucking insurance executive told me that he estimates more
23:51
Speaker 1: than forty percent.
23:54
Speaker 2: Let me say that again.
23:55
Speaker 1: He estimates more than forty percent of truck drivers in
23:58
Speaker 1: the US, our first generation immigrants. That's a lot ten
24:03
Speaker 1: percent of the total truck driver population. Quote does not
24:05
Speaker 1: speak English proficiently. That's not a good thing for public safety.
24:11
Speaker 1: The result is that American drivers and their trucking companies
24:13
Speaker 1: are losing revenue to huge numbers of foreign drivers, many
24:17
Speaker 1: who work in crews to run trucks without sleep throughout
24:20
Speaker 1: the most lucrative long distance routes. So that's hurting American
24:24
Speaker 1: truck drivers as well. American truckers cannot compete because these
24:29
Speaker 1: tactics would force them to violate safety regulations.
24:33
Speaker 2: And split their low wages.
24:35
Speaker 1: But the migrants profit because they send their small gains
24:38
Speaker 1: back to India, Guatemala and other countries where families can
24:43
Speaker 1: live very well on a few dollars per day.
24:46
Speaker 2: So the President said no more now.
24:50
Speaker 1: Foreign truckers are often inexperienced and also illiterate, so pushing
24:54
Speaker 1: up the death rate on America's roads. While raising profits
24:59
Speaker 1: for some delivery company in retailers such as Amazon. Industry
25:03
Speaker 1: publication Freight Waves described a March thirteenth, Texas disaster when
25:08
Speaker 1: a migrant trucker slammed into the back of a traffic
25:11
Speaker 1: jam quote a man who has been arrested. As authorities
25:14
Speaker 1: continued to investigate the cause of a crash that killed
25:16
Speaker 1: five people on Interstate thirty five in Austin, Texas, authorities
25:20
Speaker 1: said seventeen vehicles were involved, including a tractor trailer hauling
25:24
Speaker 1: goods for Amazon, in the accident that happened around eleven
25:28
Speaker 1: thirty pm in the southbound lanes of I thirty five.
25:32
Speaker 1: Five people were pronounced dead on the scene, including a
25:34
Speaker 1: child in an infant Eleven others were taken to the hospitals.
25:39
Speaker 1: A thirty seven year old, a Dallas based driver of
25:42
Speaker 1: the tractor trailer, was arrested Friday by the Austin Police
25:44
Speaker 1: Department in charge of five counts of intoxication manslaughter and
25:49
Speaker 1: two counts of intoxication assault. The issue has been ignored
25:53
Speaker 1: by established journalists, such as the staff of The Washington Post,
25:56
Speaker 1: which by the way, is owned by Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos.
26:00
Speaker 2: The surplus of drivers.
26:01
Speaker 1: Also deflates pressure for high tech innovation and productivity gains
26:05
Speaker 1: throughout the US supply chain. For example, warehouse companies face
26:09
Speaker 1: a little pressure to speed up the loading and unloading
26:12
Speaker 1: of trucks, which forces drivers to waste time in parking lots,
26:16
Speaker 1: again another example of lack of innovation. So you look
26:20
Speaker 1: at this and it's pretty clear that this is a
26:23
Speaker 1: good thing. This is about safer roads and also putting
26:27
Speaker 1: American workers first.
26:29
Speaker 2: And what are the left doing.
26:30
Speaker 1: They're saying, oh, it's racist to say you must be
26:32
Speaker 1: able to read the damn signs on the roadway. By
26:36
Speaker 1: the way, we're not saying that to be fluid in
26:37
Speaker 1: a language, but you do have to be able to
26:39
Speaker 1: read the signs on the roadways. And they're like, no, no, no,
26:42
Speaker 1: you can't do that. That's racist. That's racism. I tell you,
26:46
Speaker 1: by guy, that's racism. I'm sorry. This is a good
26:51
Speaker 1: thing for all Americans. This is what we should be
26:54
Speaker 1: excited about. This is putting Americans first. Because non systant
26:59
Speaker 1: truck drivers texting and driving has killed another driver in
27:02
Speaker 1: a Texas roadway this weekend. Was another post that was
27:06
Speaker 1: put up by American truckers. If you look at what
27:09
Speaker 1: they put up on their social media. You should follow them.
27:11
Speaker 1: America A American Truckers put them in on X and
27:15
Speaker 1: you can see where they document these crashes. Non sense
27:18
Speaker 1: in truck driver crashed in Nebraska, he spent I thirty
27:21
Speaker 1: excuse me, Idi, restop in Nebraska close for semi truck rollover.
27:25
Speaker 1: They show the picture there it is. They're sounding the
27:27
Speaker 1: alarm and President Trump is actually listening, whereas the left's like, no, no, no.
27:31
Speaker 1: We want to lax the rules. We want to undermine
27:33
Speaker 1: American truck drivers. We want to look the other way
27:36
Speaker 1: while the rules are being broken.
27:39
Speaker 2: That's what we do here.
27:41
Speaker 1: We're good at that because we don't care about Americans.
27:45
Speaker 1: We want Americans to be last and illegal immigrants to
27:48
Speaker 1: come first. It's a real problem. Don't forget. Share this
27:53
Speaker 1: podcast with your family and friends, share it on social media, please,
27:57
Speaker 1: and I'll see you back here tomorrow.
