Media Reports-Trump Narrows VP Pick to 3 · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: All right, there's certain moments in politics that are just
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: really fun. This is one of them where everyone is
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: now speculating right now about the list, right the list
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: of who is going to be the vice presidential candidate,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: who's going to get picked, and who's on the even
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: shorter short list after the earlier list came out this week,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Now there was a list, as I mentioned earlier.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: This week that came out.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: And on that list, if you went through the individuals,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: it was Bergham Ben Carson. I told you I didn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: think that one was actually going to happen, just for
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the record, but he was on the list. Former Secretary
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: of Housing and Urban Development, has a great relationship with
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the President, and I think he put him on there
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: almost as a thank you for being loyal. Then there
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: was Representative Byron Donald's Republican for Florida.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I didn't think he was going to be on the
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: short list.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: As I said on the show, Marco Rubio, I thought
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: would definitely make it to the final cut.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Senator Tim Scott I.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Thought would definitely make it the final cut. Representative Elise
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Tephonic I didn't think she'd make the final cut. And
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: then Senator JD. Vance, I said, would probably make it.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: He's the most maga guy out there and he could
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: help you in theory in Ohio.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We now are.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Getting reports that the President has now likely put it
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: down to this three Republicans. Okay, now on this list
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: of the three Republicans, and this is coming from leaks,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: so you understand this. What we're being told is sources
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: close to the former president said that North Dakota Governor
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Doug Bergham is on the list, on the short list.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Then it's Senator JD. Vance.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He's the most maga of them all, is number two.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And then number three they're saying is Marco Rubio. They
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: are considered the likeliest picks at this point. Now, to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: be clear, there is a handful of others that have
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: received vetting materials and Trump can make a surprise choice.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: What does that mean. I think Tim.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Scott is absolutely still on this list based on what
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I've been told from other people in and around the campaign.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I also could see the President just screwing with the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: media here, giving them these three guys and end up
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: being someone completely different. What I do know is Tim Scott,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: and I say this because I want you to pay
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: attention This is my way of winking at all of
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you through the airwaves. Is Tim Scott is going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: be at the debate? We've been told, So are you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: going to show up with this debate if you're not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the guy?
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: You understand my point, right?
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I think he still believes very much that he is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: on that short list. One Trump ally told the Hill
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: newspaper quote, I don't know how it all shakes out,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: but I'm fairly confident it ends up being one of
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: those three. Now again, the three is JD. Vance, Marco Rubio,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and Doug Bergham. The former president also said his choice
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for vice president would be at Thursday's debate. And I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: said he was probably going to mess with the media,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: mess with you and say, yeah, it's one of these
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: guys out here in the audience right now. Bergram, Rubio,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and Vance, as well as several others who are on
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the list, are all expected to attend a fundraiser with
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Trump in Atlanta following the debate, which tells me exactly
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what I said to you. I don't know if we're
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: going to get a pick before the debate. Now he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: could do something and like name it during the debate.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I don't think that would be his style.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: That's my gut.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Now maybe wrong, and we're going to explore that in
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a moment. But first, let me tell you about my
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: friends over at Patriot Mobile. If you are a conservative
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: like me, and you're sick and tired of giving your
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: mind to companies that hate your values, hate your family,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: hate your faith, then you need to know where your
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: money's been going.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: When you've been paying your bill every month to Big Mobile.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Big Mobile takes your money and they give big donations
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: to democratic causes, candidates and organizations, including Planned Parenthood. You
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: may not realize just how much money they are giving.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: It is a lot, and they do it year after
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: year after year. When you pay your bill, I have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: switched to Patriot Mobile. And let me just tell you,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, switching has never been easier with
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: your cell phone. It used to be miserable. That's why
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: people didn't do it. It's easy now. It's all done over
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the phone. You can keep your same cell phone you
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: have right now. You can keep your same cell phone
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: number you have right now, and all you have to
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: do to call is call Patriot Mobile and switch. It's yes,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: that easy. Their number nine seven to two Patriot. Now,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: when you switch, this is what happens. You're going to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: save money on what you're paying now, and something else
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: amazing is going to happen. They take about five percent
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: of your bill each and every month, and they give
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it back to conservative causes, candidates and organizations, including organization
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that fight for our First and Second Amendment rights, fight
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to protect unborn babies, and they also support our military,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: our veterans, our first responders, and are wounded warrior heroes.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I want you to switch. So call them
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: nine to seven to two Patriot. It's nine seven to
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: two Patriot or Patriot mobile dot com slash ben that's
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Patriot mobile dot com slash ben or nine seven to
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: two Patriot. All right, now, let's get back to this list.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I think Trump is probably messing with everybody in the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: media right now. He's gonna have some fun to debate
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and say, my vice presidential Kenned is in the audience tonight,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a lot of fun messing with
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: people that way, and he's gonna enjoy every single moment
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: of that. All right, So prepare for that. That's what
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: I think he's going to do. Do I think that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: these people that are leaking know exactly what Trump's gonna do.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I do not believe they are.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I think the list is bigger than the three that
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: they're mentioning, and I think it's probably down to four
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: or five. And I think if there's anybody that can
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: change their mind at the last minute, it would no doubt.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Be Donald Trump.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump will decide when this is going to happen,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: and I think it will probably be after the debates.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: I think he'll go and have the moment after He'll
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: go to Atlanta to the fundraiser. He'll do his fundraiser
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: there with all these other cats around him. He'll show
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a sign of unity and force of the Republican movement
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: behind him, and he's going to like that image, I think,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: for quite some time. And that's what this is really
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: going to be about for him. I think it's going
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: to be a smart move, by the way, to enjoy
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: these headlines and have so many people behind you wanting
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the job in defending you. That's another aspect of why
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I don't believe when the media says, oh, it's down
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to these three and this is the only three and
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: there's no others I just.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I don't believe it. I don't buy it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I also think the President enjoys what comes from all
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of these individuals, and by waiting a little bit longer,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they're all out there doing surrogate work on his behalf.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: They are all out there advocating for him this president
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: or debate. Right afterwards, they're all going to be doing
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: interviews and they're all going to be supporting President Trump
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: and echoing his message. I think there's some people on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the short list that actually do not believe they're going
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to get it, but they're looking and jocking for cabinet positions.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Ben Carson is a great example of that. Let's Stefanic
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is another great example of that. I think even Bergham,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: who yes, I think he's clearly on the short short list,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but he also is an individual that could be in
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the cabinet in a major secretary position. This is the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: reason why I just straight up believe that this is
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: all going to be a big show this week that's
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: going to help him get elected.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: And I'm in favor of that.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Now, let me also tell you about another major development
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: in the campaign of Joe Biden that is actually I
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: would argue more important than what I just talked to
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: you about, and that is Joe Biden's campaign chair has
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: an essence now surrendered Florida's thirty electoral votes to Donald Trump.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden's campaign chairman, Jen O'Malley Dillon, has already conceded
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: Florida's thirty electoral votes to former President Trump. During a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: podcast interview with the far left Puck, O'Malley dillon was
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: asked if the campaign considered Florida a legitimate battleground state,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on that they would you contest in the coming months.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: Her answer was a flat no, they are admitting defeat there.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: The other question that was asked about this, I'm gonna
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: get back to Florida a moment was are you saying
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: you see North Carolina also as a battleground state. O'Malley
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: dylan said yes, Then Florida she said again no, This
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: was what was said from the campaign.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Now, Biden's ground organizing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Staff in Florida heard this news, and now they are
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: apparently completely demoralized, like what are we doing here? If
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: you guys are giving up on Florida, why are we
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: even still here? It also sends a message of democratic
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: voters that your vote doesn't really matter in Florida because
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: we've already given up and we think we're going to lose. Now,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Conceding a state is important as Florida and those electoral
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: votes this early on is I think, actually want a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: shocking move that it's happening this early. But two, I
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: also think it shows you just how tone death Biden
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: has been on issues that deal with many seniors and
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: border issues in the border crisis, and that's the reason
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: why he's having to concede this early. I also think
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: in the same breath that this is actually a very
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: smart move by the Democratic Party because they realize they
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: don't have unlimited resources this time to run Joe Biden
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the way they did last time, and so they're saying, Okay,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: we've got to be smarter with our resources, right, We've
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: got to be smarter with our manpower, and we're not
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: going to go out there and try to play in
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: a state like Florida that's leaning so far to Donald
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Trump and to the governor there, DeSantis, and think that
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we're going to somehow pull like some massive upset. It's
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: just not going to happen. And so you look at
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the calendar right now, and it's June. The election is
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: not until November. So when you start conceding in June
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: a state that is as important as Florida that has
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: been in play by the way, in the past in
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Florida for the Democratic Party, that also, I think tells
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: you about the mentality right now of the electorate, especially
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: those that are suffering and those that have also left
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: places like New York and California and have gone to
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: place like Florida, which is I think has actually made
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the state of Florida even more conservative. I also think
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: that the issue of the tone death aspect of this
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: president when it comes to protecting us on the issue
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: of illegal immigrants. There are seven plus million illegal immigrants
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: right now in this country that are awaiting court hearings
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: or deportation. This is coming from the former acting ICE
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: director on Fox Listen and.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Former US Border Patrol trief Ron. So essentially, ICE says
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: they're going to replace this center. It houses about sixteen
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: excuse me, twenty four one hundred people, and they're going
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: to replace that with sixteen hundred beds at other facilities.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: First off, sixteen hundred is eight hundred less than twenty
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: four hundred.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And then second of all, aren't the.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: Rest of the detention facilities in that already at over capacity.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: Well, all of the border patrol processing facilities have been
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: over capacity for quite some time. ICE's detention space is
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: probably underfunded given the volume of activity that's happening at
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: the border. And then this administration, you can just tell
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: they don't their tone deaf on this issue. Besides having
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: no credibility, what's happened at the Southwest border is an
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: absolute travesty. We saw what happened to this family in Houston,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: the family in New York the week a couple of
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: days before. I mean, this is happening all over the country,
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: and having fewer detention beds, having not enough funding for detention,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: I mean, think about the numbers that we just saw
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: are the people that got away. That's a big problem,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: that's a big thread across the country. Then you also
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: have the government releasing people in vast numbers. The fastest
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: way to deport somebody is to have them in detention.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: The fastest way not to be deported is to be
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: out of detention, and there are millions of people in
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: that situation. Just since the pendency of this presidency.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Let's throw up some.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Of those numbers so our viewers at home can see
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: what you're talking about. This is ICE's non detained docket.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: It has more than doubled since President Biden came to
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: office three years ago. You can see right here fiscal
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: year twenty twenty one three point six million, and counting
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: fast forward to today fiscal year twenty twenty four so
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: far seven point four million. We're only halfway through the year.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: It's out of control.
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: It's another example of how this administration has been derelict
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: in their duty to secure the border and protect the country.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: There's no reason for that many people to be released
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: in the United States, but because of the policies that
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: were rescinded when Joe Biden took over, we have this
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: huge rush at the border.
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: We're still in record territory.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: Even though they've noted a downturn in activity, We're still.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: In record territory. You're still at today's pace.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: You still have a million people that are going to
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: be encountered by CBP in a year's time.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: So this is what the administration says about reasons for
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: shutting this down. This is a statement from ICE. ICE
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: continually reviews the overall detention capacity and in so doing
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: take action to close certain facilities that no longer provide
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: a sufficient return on investment. This includes so then closing
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, which
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: is the most expensive facility in the national detention network. Okay,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: so we get it, it's expensive. What do they mean
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: by return on investment?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: Well, this thing was built to house families together in
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: detention back in the Obama administration, so twenty around the
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: era twenty fourteen, it was open to whole families together
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: so that they could see a judge, have the due process,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: and be removed because most of them didn't qualify for
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: the asylum claims that they were making, So it was
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: built specifically for that. It's not as good for single adults,
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: which can be held and should be held in larger
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: numbers given what's going on at the border, and so
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: you know they're trading those dollars for other dollars in
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: different facilities.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: All right, well, you know it's something Ron, We got
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: to leave it there, but thanks for coming in.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to Ron here, former acting ICE director,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: and what he just said is not only the Bideminster
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: tone death on the border crisis. But there's no reason
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: for that many people to be released into the United
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: States of America, seven plus million. Many of them are
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: not going to show up for their court dates. Many
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: of them are not going to show up for deportation
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: right like, They're just not going to. They know they
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: don't have to. They know that no one's gonna come
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: and get them. They know that no one's going to
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: deport them as long as Joe Biden is the president
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: of the United States of America. So you combined all
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: of that intel and all of that data, and it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: simply says to you, Hey, guess what.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: We're letting you in.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: This is what Biden's saying through actions, not words, but
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: through actions. Okay, we're letting you in. You're going to
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: come into this country. We're letting you into this country.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: We're not going to come find you. Don't show up
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: for your court date, don't show up for anything, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: just live your life, and eventually we will.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Give you amnesty.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: This is no different, by the way, than what happened
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: with just a few days ago, a few weeks ago.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Was buying votes right when you had all.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Of a sudden, the President go, I'm gonna, you know,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: give a bunch of money away and student loan forgiveness
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: yet again, and we're gonna do this. So it's gonna
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: make amazing huge difference here.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Number one, the Supreme Court has already said you can't
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: do this, and what is the President said, here's the
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: middle finger, Supreme Court.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: I can do whatever the hell I.
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Want to do because I'm the president and I don't
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: have to listen to you. There are no checks and
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: balances on me, all right, So that's number one.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: They've already said you can't do this.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: But if you announce it and you lie the American people,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: then somebody's gonna be dumb enough to vote for you, going, oh,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: many paid off my student loaned it.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Right, everything's good.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Well, now we have another judge that has had to
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: jump in this from the Today Show.
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: Federal judges in Kansas and Missouri have temporarily blocked President
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: Biden's student loan forgiveness program. So the rulings put on
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: the Save plan, which allows borrowers whose balances were twelve
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars or less to have their debt forgiven after
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: ten years. The decision does not cancel financial assistance that's
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: already been provided. In a statement, the White House said this,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: we strongly disagree with today's rulings and the Department of
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: Justice will continue to vigorously defend the SAVE Plan.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: So that's called buying votes, right.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: You say, hey, you've had a student loan debt for
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: you know, it's under twelve grand for you know, you
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: had it for ten years, a decade, and so here's
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: a deal.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: Here's what we want to do with you.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: We want to We're just going to forgive that, right,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: We're just we're just going to forgive it and thank
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: you for voting for Joe Biden for President twenty twenty four.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: This is this is an end kind donation. This is,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: i think, actually against the law, buying votes. It's supposed
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: to be against the law. But the President units it's America,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: is saying to the American people, even after the Supreme
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Court said you have no authority to do this, you
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: cannot do this. This will not stand. I'm going to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: do it anyway. It's called by votes. That's what it is. Okay,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: It's called buying a vote. And the President is obviously
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: very desperate right now. He desperately needs to buy votes,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and he's giving up on places like Florida, conceding the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: state to Donald Trump. Now, let me explain on this
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: debt forgiveness why Joe Biden and his team think this
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: is a smart play even though they know that these
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: judges are going to knock them around. This federal judge
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: on Monday that temporarily barred the Education Department from allowing
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: additional loan forgiveness under a key component of President Joe
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Biden's student loan relief plan, which is a plan to
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: buy votes. The judges order halted the cancelation of federal
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: student loans under the Income Driven Repayment Plan known as
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: SAVE after several states suit over the program. The Biden
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: administration isn't joined from any further loan forgiveness for borrowers
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: under the final rules SAVE plan until such time as
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the court can decide the case on the merits. That's
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: what the US District Judge John A. Ross wrote. The
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: same plan came about after the Supreme Court last year
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: rejected the Biden administration's broader effort to address debt under
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: its pandemic air Relief plan, which aimed a race up
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to twenty thousand dollars in federal student loan debt for
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: about forty three million borrowers. Translation, we're trying to buy
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: forty three million votes and giving each one of them
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: twenty grand.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: To vote for US.
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Ross also rejected an effort by the Biden administration to
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: dismiss the case, saying the state that brought the lawsuit
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: had standing and quote are likely to succeed on the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: merit of their argument that the early loan forgiveness provisions
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: were done in a manner exceeding the Secretary's test tory authority,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: referring to the Secretary of Education. The Missouri Attorney General
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: Andrew Bailey, representing one of the seven states that brought
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the lawsuit, also talking about the ruling, saying this quote.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: By attempting to saddle working people with Ivy League debt,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden is undermining our constitutional structure, Bailey said in
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: a statement, saying, quote, only Congress has the power of
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the purse, not the President. Today's ruling was a huge
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: win for the rule of all and for every American
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: whom Joe Biden was about to force to pay off
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: someone else's debt. Arkansas's Attorney General Tim Griffin said, quote,
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: With Independence Day fast approaching, another court is reminded President
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Biden that he is not a king. He can't go
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: around Congress and unilaterally cancel student loans. He should have
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: learned that from School House Rock.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: That makes me laugh.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Kansas Attorney General echoed the same thing by saying in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: his statement that the loan forgiveness plan quote is not
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: only unconstitutional, it's unfair, saying blue collar workers who didn't
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: go to college shouldn't have to pay off the student
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: loans of New Yorkers with gender studies degrees.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: These guys are amazing.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: The other states involved in the lawsuit include Now Florida, Georgia,
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: North Dakota, Ohio, and Oklahoma, and their lawsuits the states
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: that asked the judges declare that the program violated the
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: separation of powers under the Constitution because the President doesn't
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: actually have the power to do this.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Ross set.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Other aspects of the programs, such as lowering monthly payments
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: and limiting interests, accrule are benefiting borrowers and can continue,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: adding that the states that sue have not shown that
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: these provisions harm them, meaning the state or the tax payers.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: In another blow by the way to the Biden administration
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: student loan debt relief plan. A federal judge blocked the
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Biden administration from impending parts of the program that we're
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: set to go into effect on July one, so just
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: six days from now. It's a Judge Daniel Crabtree found
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: that while Kansas and ten other states that sued over
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: the same plan had not demonstrated irreparable harm from provisions
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: already in effect, they had shown irreparable harm from forthcoming provisions.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: He granted their requests for a preliminary injunction of aspect,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: and he says that these have not been implemented yet,
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: but if they were, it would cost people out of money.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: So his order is set to go into effect Sunday night,
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: allowing time for any appeals now. The eleven states had
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: argued in their March lawsuit that the program violated the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Constitution and also the Administrative Procedure Act, and that many
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: of them suffered losses of state tax revenue because of
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: the plan's provisions, specifically related to student loan forgiveness.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: The White House Press secretary doing what she does best,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: blasting the court ruling undermining the court and the rule
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of law, saying quote, we strongly disagree with today's ruling
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: on our Save Plan, and the Department of Justice will
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: continue to vigorously defend the Save Plan. It's unfortunate that
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Republican elected officials and their allies have fought tooth and
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: nail to prevent their constituents from accessing lower payments and
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a faster path to debt forgiveness, and that courts are
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: now rejecting authority that the Department has applied repeatedly for
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: decades to improve income driven repayment plans. In a separate statement,
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: that the Secretary of Education had that his department has
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: relied on the authority under the Higher Education Act three
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: times over the last thirty years to implement income driven
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: repayment plans. The Justice Department, which obviously is going to
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: do everything they can defend Biden, has declined to comment
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: on the rulings. Now you look at all this and
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: why are they still doing it knowing they're going to lose.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: It's real simple.
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration has forgiven significant amounts under the Save Plan.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Last month, officials and ounce the approval of an additional
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: one hundred or six hundred and thirteen million in debt
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: to be canceled for more than fifty four thousand borrowers
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: under the plan. Those fifty four thousand borrowers have family
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and friends. If you get rid of six hundred and
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: thirteen million in debt right by fifty four thousand borrowers
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: under this plan, that's a lot of people that were
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: vote for you. The administration also said last month, and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: this is the second reason why they're doing this, playing
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: politics in line to the American people that quote, overall,
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: four point seven five million people have benefited from debt
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: cancelation actions, and that it had approved the one hundred
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: and sixty seven billion in loan forgiveness. So what does
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: it cost you to buy four point seventy five million votes?
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Apparently it costs you one hundred and sixty seven billion dollars,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: your tax dollars. They understand this. It's real simple. You
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: look at someone who has student loan debt, especially someone
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that's younger, and you look at a family of two,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: for example, and in that family of two, right, there's
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: a husband and a wife, or a husband a husband
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: or a wife and a wife.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration doesn't care what your family looks like.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: They just want you to vote for them. And you
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: walk in and you go, Hi, I'm Joe Biden for
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: president because you voted for me. I just got rid
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: of forty thousand dollars of your debt. You think those
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: people are going to vote for Joe Biden? Absolutely, And
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: that is exactly why this is bribery. This is bribing
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: those that are running for office and bribing them in
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: a way that is that is so transparent. I can't
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: get over the transparent aspect of this bribery. Okay, Like
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: that's the part that you really need to understand. They're
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: not hiding it, folks. They are saying, I'm I want
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: your vote, and I'm willing to give you twenty grand
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: for it. And they know that the people that are
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: going to pay for this are gonna be mad, but
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: it doesn't matter because there's so many people that will
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: vote for them if they do this. They do outweigh,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: they've done the math. They understand that if they can
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: get forty million people debt relief and there's twenty million
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: that are mad at them, that's a two to one ratio. Right,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: you might lose one vote but you just gain two.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: That's a deal that almost every politician would take every day.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Except the difference this time is it's not a policy,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: it's bribery. It's not a I'm going to protect America,
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to secure the border, I'm gonna whatever make
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: schools better. No, no, this is just simple bribery. One
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: final thought on this. This is a moment when Donald
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Trump should hammer the president, not only for lawlessness and
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: the debate, but looking at the America people.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: And knowing that he's lying to the American.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: People while he's trying to bribe them, he should just say,
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court struck you down, dude, and now these
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: other courts are striking you down. Why are you sitting
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: here giving false hope to to these people? Why are
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: you playing them? Mister president? Is it because you're trying
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: to buy their vote and you know you're going to
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: screw them in the end because that's what you've done
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: so far. If he takes his time and explains it
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that way methodically, he's going to be in great shape.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: This is one of those key moments.
