HEY JOE BIDEN, It's the economy stupid & crime! Ted Cruz joins me to discuss what the GOP must do to win the midterms! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: The economy not going in the right direction. That's something
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that we can confirm. Senator Kennedy talking about just how
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: bad it is and what this president's gonna have to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: convince and Democrats are gonna have to convince the American
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: voters come to midterms about he put it this way,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: about their four oh one k's crashing, and about his
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: record and the Democratic Party's record. I don't think they
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: have a chance, which is why I would argue they
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: want to talk about January sixth, demagogue, abortion, Donald Trump,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and of course called Republicans every name in the book.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Do you see Republicans focused on the right issues? I do,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and I think Miss Saukey is basically correct. Look, I
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: can't predict the future, Sean. I've got to wait for
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: it like everyone else. But I do know a couple
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: of things. I know that there are good posters out there,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and they're some not so good posters. And those not
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: so good posts, you see their poles flying around, make
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: those late night psychic hotlines that you see on TV
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: look respectable. I know that number two, that many agenda
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: journalists who mean democratic seize these bad poles and they
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: try to make us we meeting US meeting Republicans look
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: look bad. Two years ago the agenda journalists in Washington,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: DC had Lindsey Graham beat Mitch McConnell beat Steve Danes,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: beat Tom tell Us beat Susan Collins beat, and we
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: won every one of those those races. Point three. I
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: wouldn't want to be in President Biden's shoes. I mean,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: he's got to convince the American people that the economy
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: is slowing, that pray are rising, that electricity bills are
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: going through the roof, and that four oh one ks
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: are crashing because his policies are so good and the
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: American people aren't believing that. And this issue, this race
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: rather will be decided my race. You can go to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: John Kennedy dot com to read more about me John
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Kennedy dot com. My race and these other tight races
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: will be decided by the issues that moms and dads
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: worry about when they lie down to sleep at night
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: and tent and that's the economy, inflation, the open border crime.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: What are my kids learning at school. It's not Trump
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: an abortion. It's not Trump an abortion. He's right, by
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: the way, and we see what's happening with our economy
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: right now. And that's it's the economy stupid. That's what
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: I've been telling candidates all over the country. You know
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that the Democrats have been smart about this. They've not
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: made about the issues. They've made it about, you know, violence,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: claiming Republicans are the violent ones, while they're the ones
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: actually calling for the violence. This means war. That is
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: where we are. We are at war with these people.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: These folks are evil. There is an ultra right Maga
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: contention in this country that wants to overthrow the US government.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: It is a danger to our democracy, it is a
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: danger to our way of life. The Maga movement is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a threat the extremists that we're dealing with every single day.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: We've got to kill and confront that movement. Clearly, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this is a literally call to arms. Obviously, Republicans, I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: think are the biggest threats in democracy. We don't separate
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: right we extremist and Republican party anymore. I see this
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is a party, a Maga party that no longer is
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: confident that they can win elections with votes, and so
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: now they're seeking to enact their political will through violence.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: This is literally what conservative white folks do when they
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: don't get their way, they turn violence. Today's ups no
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: longer a political movement. It is a fascist movement. And
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: this is why it could be more dangerous than eighteen
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: sixty or the nineteen thirties. Clearly, you know this is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: literally call to arms. Maybe now it is all about
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the violence. It all is about an insurrection at all
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: is in his mind about a civil war. It feels
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: like we are not just at the brink of a
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: civil war, but that one has already begun. The fact
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: that the base is getting smaller it makes it more
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: dangerous in a lot of ways, because those are the
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: people who are willing to do things like take up
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: arms and press the questions that lead to press the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: questions and tactics that lead to civil war. This is
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: someone who held that office who is basically saying to
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Americans there should be civil war. Look at what he's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: doing last night. As you know that, you know more
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: or less salutes that are either quanon or almost looked
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: like Nazism. You saw the rally in Ohio the other night.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Trump is there ranting and raving for more than an hour,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and you have these rows of young men with their
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: arms raised these crazy, deranged folks who want to impart
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: evil in every fashion of our society. Clearly, you know
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: this is a literally call to arms, literally a call
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to arms. There's the laft for you, right ahead of
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the elections in the midterms. I don't think they're going
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: to learn their lesson, by the way and pull back
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: from that at all. I just don't you know you've
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: got I woke Democratic Austin mayor. He was caught sleeping
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: on camera at a police officer's funeral. The Austin mayor
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: literally caught sleeping in a cops funeral, and his apology
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: he has come out with saying, oh, my bad, didn't
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: mean to fall asleep. Listen, Ansley, how are you. I'm
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: doing great? Thank you. Leoh what's your reaction to this?
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I know people fall asleep, but this is just another
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: slap in the face to all of those officers after
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: he defunded the police officers. Ay, there's no excuse for
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: him to fall asleep. This was just a one hour
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: memorial and it shows the ultimate disrespect for law enforcement
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: in the city of Auston. This guy is not a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: friend of law enforcement at all. Because he slashed the
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: city budget when it comes to law enforcement, police stipends
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: this man, this mayor is a woke Democrat and Ainsley,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: the sad part about the City of Auston, the City
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: of Austin is the southern version of New York City.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: The city council do not support law enforcement and he
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: is a reflection of that. And there is no excuse
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: for him to fall asleep at a on our memorial. Ainsley, Yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he defunded the police in twenty twenty, slash nearly a
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: third of the police budget. He also the police academy classes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: many of them were canceled or were delayed. A record
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: number of sworn officers have departed the force as a result.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: And if you look at the workforce survey it was
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: conducted last month, LEO had found that only twenty percent
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: of the Austin peade employees thought that their department was
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: well managed. And that reflects exactly what's happening in Detroit, Chicago,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Los Angeles, Philadelphia. Austin. It may be in the south
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in Texas, but it has a woke democratic mayor, a
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: woke city council. They slashed three years ago one third
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: of the entire police budget. Thank goodness. For Governor Abbott
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: forced them to reinstate the police budget. When you have
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: law enforcement being disrespected, when you have law enforcement telling
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: you we don't feel comfortable, we don't feel that you
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: appreciate us, what do you have? You have math resignations,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: mass number of officers leaving the department, and Matt is
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: reflected Atler is not a representative or a friend of
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: law enforcement. And also what message does this send to
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the family of Tony Martin, this police officer that sacrificed
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: his life trying to protect the community. The mayor did
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: say this to the family. I want to express my
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: deepest apologies to the family of Officer Martin. Officer Martin
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: died ten days ago and will forever be honored as
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: a hero. This moment should be about him and his family.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Leo last word, thank you very much, as those words
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: are meaningless. He said that after he felt asleep, he
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: had no other way or choice to do this. He
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: had to apologize. Those words are meaningless. The family should
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: feel lost because they do not have the respect of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the mayor or the city council of Austin, Texas. Austin,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Texas is New York city in the South Llo. Great
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: to see you. Thank you so much. I love it
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: New York City. In this out, we also are seeing
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: some new numbers with the economy that you don't want
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to see. Biden's America has now sent the US national
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: debt soaring past thirty one trillion dollars for the first time.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: The Biden administration ceaseless borrowing addiction has driven gross national
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: debt past thirty one trillion for the first time. Amid
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: record inflation, rising interest rates, and fears of a looming recession.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: The United States public debt closed at thirty one point
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: one trillion dollars on Monday, according to the Treasured Treasury
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Department data that was just published. The mildstone comes as
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: the Federal Reserve continues to hike interest rates to fight
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the highest inflation in more than forty years, now, as
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: the government borrows money to finance tax cuts, even as
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: it sends billions and billions of taxpayers dollars offshores to Ukraine,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: for example, in aid that we should not be doing
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and clearly we can't afford. Quote. So many of the
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: concerns we've had about our growing debt path, they're starting
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: to show themselves as we both grow our debt and
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: grow our rates of interest, said Michael Peterson, chief executive
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: officer of the Peterson Foundation, which promotes deficit reduction. Too
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: many people were complacent about our debt path, in part
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: because rates were so low. It's official. The national debt
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has now surpassed thirty one trillion dollars. Now the national
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: debt surpassing thirty one trillion. The part that is the scariest,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: and this is what all the economists are warning about
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: right now, is seven trillion is an intra government debt
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and twenty four trillion is debt held by the public.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: The Congressional Budget Office, Nonpartisan, a US federal agency that
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: provides Congress with economic and budgetary analysis, has warned about
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: America's mounting debtload under the Biden administration, cautioning investors could
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: lose confidence in the government's ability to repay what it owes.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Those worries, the Budget Office said, could cause interest rates
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to increase abruptly and inflation to spiral upward. The thirty
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: one trillion threshold posed a political problem for President Biden,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: who has pledged to seek a more sustainable fiscal path
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: and reduced federal budget deficits by one trillion over a decade.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: It also directly contradicts Biden's claim in September of twenty
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: twenty one, that is three point five trillion dollars spending
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: agency all excuse me, his three point five trillion dollars
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: spending agenda actually costs zero dollars, as he put it,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: because of his sure capable handling of taxpayer dollars. I'm
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: not joking, that's what he said. He said in a tweet,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: My builback Better agenda costs zero dollars. That's a lie.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Don't worry. The fact checkers did not fact check that tweet.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Instead of wasting money on tax breaks, loopholes, and tax
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: evasion for big corporations and the wealthy, we can make
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it once in a generation investment in working Americans and
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: it adds zero dollars the national debt. Again, the fact
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: checkers have refused to label that is false information. His
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: message argued money was currently quote wasted, wasted on tax breaks,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: wasted on the loopholes, wasted on tax evasion, and needed
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: to be quote redistributed to American workers as directed by
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: his administration. Robin Hood right. Just this is what he's saying,
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: we're going to do. The Committee for Responsible Federal Budget
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: estimates that Biden's debt addiction has added nearly five trillion
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: to the deficits since he took office. Alan. That projection
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: also includes Biden's signature one point nine trillion dollar economic
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: stimulus bill and a variety of new congressionally approved spending
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: initiatives and a student owned debt forgiveness plan. There's expected
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: to cost taxpayers nearly four hundred billion over thirty years,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: and many believe it's a legal and new polls showing
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that crime is overtaking abortion as the mid term driver.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: This coming from CNN moments ago, the crime and abortion,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: because both of those their placement on that chart was
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: surprising to me. So it was interested, what are people
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: searching for on Google? What is it that comes to
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: their minds? So this is Google search as crime versus abortion.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: The percentage among those who searched for either look. Around
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the time that Roe v. Wade was overturned in June,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: crime was just at thirty percent of all the searches
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: that people were searching between crime and abortion. Abortion was
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: at seventy percent in May. Again, abortion higher than crime
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in July, it was basically tied abortion slightly higher than crime.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: But look now in September crime seventy percent to just
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: twenty nine percent for abortion. That is basically back to
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the pre row view weight, overturning sort of baseline where
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: we were back in April, where crime was making up
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: seventy four percent of the searches versus abortion at just
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: twenty six percent crime and abortion. I love how Democrats like,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: we're gonna make this election about abortion. Now they're like, yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: not a good play, not working out. Crime is everything here, right,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Crime is the whole ball games. That's what they see here.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: And now we've got even more problems because we have
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: this missile test that has happened again showing another example
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of just how incompetent the president is. North Korea missile
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: tests that actually went over Japan with the air sirens
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: going off, this missile, ballistic missile. And here is what
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Kirby had to say this morning about what this means
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the case. It's kind of a head scratcher. All right,
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: let's bring in the White House National Security Council coordinated.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: We're always happy to see him, John Kirby, where we
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: have so much to talk about up from the games
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Ukraine is making in against Russia to that situation with
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: Fiona as well. It's what's going on with North Korea.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: First off, what we woke up to, what we heard
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: about last night and woke up to today, North Korea
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: sending ballistic missiles into continental missile was over Japan, first
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: time in five years they're doing this. Did you guys
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: have advanced notice on it? What's the message you get
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: from it? We certainly monitor their testing capabilities as best
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: we can, Brian, I won't go into more detail here
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: on National TV, but we're watching this obviously very very closely.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Certainly we tracked this particular missile. We're still doing some
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: analysis on it so we can better understand exactly what
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: capability they put in the air yesterday. But we've been
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: in close contact with our allies and partners, particularly the
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: South Koreas and the Japanese as you might imagine, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: obviously we condemned this launch and it's a violation of
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: ULI Security Council resolutions. We're going to continue to make
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: sure that we have in place in the Indo Pacific
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: the kinds of capabilities that we need to defend ourselves
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: and our allies. Yeah, John, is this a different kind
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: of missile, because I was reading one of the reports
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: today from overseas and it said this particular intercont continental
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: ballistic missile went further than any missile they'd ever done before.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Is it the same thing they've shot off before they
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: just start getting better at it or what? You're right,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: this one went a longer distance than we've seen in
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: recent weeks and months. We're still doing the analysis right
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: now and make sure that we completely understand what capability
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: is that they fire here before we make any pronouncements
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: about it. But this is a program, and I think
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: it's important to remember every time they do one of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: these launches. Some are successful, some are not, some are
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: only partially successful. But each time they do this, they learn,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: they get better, they get more capable, and that's what
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: that's what makes makes us stay vigilant, make sure that
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: we've got the capabilities ourselves in the region to it,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: as they said, to defend our national interests in those
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: of our allives. All right, So Russia, I just love
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: how they're trying to somehow play this off as well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: They're doing that. We're certainly concerned they're more than concerned.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: They're freaking out because they've lost total control of influence
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: specifically in the world. Right, that's the part here. You
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: need to understand. They've lost total control of the influence
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: that they've had. And I'm talking about the United States military, Pentagon,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: et cetera, under the Biden team, under the Biden leadership, Right,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I mean that this is the truth. They have lost
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: total control, and I think they understand that now. I
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: think they know it, like I think they're starting to
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: realize just how and what a bad position now that
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they are in. And this all went back to Afghanistan
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: and what happened in Afghanistan, Right, Afghanistan was the ball game.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Afghanistan was the whole ball game. When we did what
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we did and pulled out the way that we pulled out,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: it was game over. Right. As soon as we pulled
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: out that way, that was it. The rest of the
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: world understood America's week. We can do what we want,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: we can flex our muscles, and they won't even go
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: sixty feet or sixty yards for their own citizens. So
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: if they won't do that in Afghanistan and they're giving
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: it back over the Taliban, then we've got this thing
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: and we've won, and that seems to be the case. Now,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: before I get into more of this story, I want
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: to say thank you and tell you about our good
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: friends at Legacy Precious Metals. Without them, the show wouldn't

  Speaker 1: terrified to look at your retirement account, your four one

• 19:34
  Speaker 1: PM Investments Dot com now. I was going to play
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: for you my conversation that I had with US Center
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. And this is really important because he's on
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: a bus tour right now and we are talking about
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: what the midterms look like. Because if we're gonna get
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: anywhere with any of the stuff I just told you about,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: we have to win back the House and the Senate.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Here's my conversation that I had with US Center Ted
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: Cruise of Tech. I gotta ask you, and please try
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: not to laugh, but this is a real quote. Nancy
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Pelosi said on late night television last night. That quote
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: the Democrats will keep the House after the November midterm.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: She says she has no doubt that's going to happen.
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: The audience went nuts when she said it. And I
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: want a real analysis from you. You're out there, what
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: is the mood of the people that you're visiting with.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I know the borders obviously an important issue. I know
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: fetnal is an important issue. I know that crime is
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: an important issue. And you even tweeted out earlier, and
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: I want to get your take on this as well.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: The American Medical Association is now asking Big Tech and
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice to censor, d platform, investigate and
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: prosecute journalists who questioned the orthodoxy of radical gender surgeries
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: for minors, arguing that public criticism is quote disinformation. And
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: you put out a moment ago. If you're a doctor,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: if you remember the American Medical Association, all caps resign
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: now and demand your dues be refunded. I couldn't agree
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: with you more. But are the American people, I mean
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Pelosi is is she right that they're gonna keep some seats?
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: Are you seeing something totally different out there? Well, you know,
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: often the late night comedy shows, they filmed them in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: the afternoon, and given that Pelosi was on it, I
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: assume that day she started drinking early, because that's about
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the only explanations for what she had to say. I
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: mean it, it is delusional. It ain't gonna happen. Republicans
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: are going to retake the House, and I think we're
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: going to retake the House with somewhere between thirty and
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: fifty seats. I think it's gonna be a big red wave.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I think it is going to be on the order
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: of magnitude of twenty ten or twenty fourteen. Every one
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: of these rallies we're doing that we've done. We're doing
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: them with congressional candidates and Senate candidates, and we're seeing
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: packed crowds, we're seeing standing room only, and there is
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: energy and enthusiasm because the disastrous agenda we're seeing from
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Biden and Harris and Pelosian Schumer. People are fed up
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: and they want to change. And look, you look at
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: the AMA's letter. I mean, it is an absolute abuse
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: and it's very much the same sort of thing the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: now National Association of school Boards did when they asked
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice go after parents, treat them as
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: domestic terrorist, use the Patriot Act. And Merrick Garland saluted
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and said sir, yes, sir, and directed the FBI to
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: go target moms and dad. This is now the AMA
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: is trying to get get get the Biden DOJ to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: do the same thing. It's a complete abuse of power
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: and it is disgraceful. You just saw what happened at Vanderbilt,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: and this, obviously, I think it is part of their
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: response where they were they were using chemical castration and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: doing horrific things to children at Vanderbilt Medical. They even
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: had these basically watch dogs that were watching people at
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt if they spoke out against what they were doing
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: to children, telling them that you don't belong at Vanderbilt.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be problematic if you claim that you have
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: a religious basically objection or a moral objection to doing
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: these things, saying year, it's going to cost you your career.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: And then you fast forward a week later and the
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: American Medical Association saying, Hey, the OJ not only do
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: we want you to investigate, but we want to actually
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: we want you to actually prosecute those who call out
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: gender surgeries online. What would they be prosecuted for mere
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you're a guy that's an attorney. How would they weaponize
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: and what would they charge you with? If you and
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I have this conversation right now and they say, yeah,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: this applies. You guys are going to be charged. What
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: would it be? I have no idea. You could try
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: to sue someone civilly for deafamation if it was false.
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: But the problem is it's not false. They're doing that.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: They advertise it on their own damn websites and look.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: For a long time, human rights advocates have rightly decried
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: genital mutilation as a human rights abuse. You see radical
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: Islamists who engage in genital mutilation of children, and it
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: is universally recognized as abhorrent and incredibly abusive. Well, now
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: we have so called hospitals that are in the same business.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, a child lacks the maturity, lacks the
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: ability to make a decision to cut it off. I mean,
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: that's irreversible. There ain't nothing you go back from when
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: that happens. And you've got these hospitals they're in that business.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Little girls, little boys that they're sterilizing that child. When
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: they're done with that operation, that child is never having
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: their own child. And that is child abuse. It is horrific.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: And you know, I was talking with a friend of
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: mine earlier today and he was laughing saying, you know,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: a few years back he pointed to things like this
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: as the slippery slope. Well we are down that slope
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and it is happening today. It's truly unbelievable, just how sick.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: And now we're finding out that Planned Parenthood wants to
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: set up little trailers on the border of states that
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: do not allow for abortions on demand. And I have
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: to you look at this election this mid term. If
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: you've ever needed a reason to go vote center. This
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: is the reason why you show up and vote in
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: the midterms when you have you know, these psychos and
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: that's the only word I know to use, and that's
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: me putting it mildly. That are advocating for child mutilation
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: right the way that you just described it. And then
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: you look at planned parenthood. They're out there raising money saying,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: help us set up trailers, help us put trailers out
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: there on these borders so that you can come right
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: across the state line and we'll kill baby. And they're
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: fundraising off of it to support other liberal Democratic candidates
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: in the midterms. Look, it is horrific. And the left
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: has gotten so extreme on every issue. They they've gone
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: to the radicals, they've they've gone to the nutcases. On
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: the border, it's open borders on sex and gender. It's
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: now radically embracing sterilizing children. On abortion, they support unlimited
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: abortion up till the moment of birth and in some
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: instances after birth. I mean that is it wasn't that
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: long ago that Bill Clinton in the State of the
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Union said he wanted abortion to be safe, legal, and rare.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: That's no longer the Democrat Party positions. They don't want
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: it to be rare. They want it to be celebrated
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: as a wonderful thing. You look at Gavin Newsom, who
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is now, I guess, the leading advocate of taking the
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: lives of unborn children in the country, and it is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: proselytizing in other states. It is twisted, and I think
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: the reaction to that is going to be the pendulum
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: is going to sling the other direction. I think. I
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: think the American people they're very unhappy about out of
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: control inflation, They're very unhappy about crime rates that are skyrocketing.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: They're very unhappy about the chaos at the southern border.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: Everything these guys touch turns to garbage. Yeah, and no
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: doubt about it. Centator, you guys are on this bus
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: tour and if you if you want to see the
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: Senator and many local leaders is he's going to be
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: on this tour. Check it out. Truth and Courage Packing
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: bus Tour. You can find it. Look on social media
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: accounts of the center and you can find it there.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: You guys are going to be in Vegas, but you
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: mentioned you're in the Rio Grand Valley and this is
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I think a core issue that is now nationwide. There
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: are two aspects of this one. We have an open border.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: And it's not just the number of illegals coming across
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the most that we've ever seen in history are coming
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: across us now under this presence guidance, but the amount
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: of fetnol that's coming across the border that is killing
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: more people thirty five and under than anything else. And
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I was talking to doctor earlier today he said that
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: he told me, he said, Ben, we're running out of
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: narcan and many of the ambulances because they're using it
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: so quickly, and we're having a hard time getting it
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: because they're having to use it so often. You look
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: at this and there's a two part thing. One this
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: president is allowing for the number one killer of young
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: people to be fetnyl. But we're also allowing for China
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: to send this into the cartels in Mexico across the border,
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: and we're not doing a damn thing to stop it.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: And I'm assuming that people are talking to you about
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: this on the road. Yes, Look, people are furious. And
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you the real Grand Valley, a prediction that
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: I made a year ago, and I'm even more emphatic
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: about it today. This election this November South Texas is
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: turning red, and that is a generational shift if you
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: look at you remember, we had a special election in
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: South Texas a couple of months ago. A district that
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: starts just south of Corpus CHRISTI, goes all the way
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: down to Brownsville, the southern tip of Texas, right on
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the Mexican border. That is a district that has not
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: elected a Republican since eighteen seventy one, a long time,
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and it is the most Hispanic district in the entire country.
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: The special election a Republican one Byra Flores, an Annic woman.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: I was down there campaigning with Myra a couple of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: days ago. Myra, I believe, is going to win reelection.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: The district next to her, Monica Dela Cruz, a Republican
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: I think, is going to get elected. The district next
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to her, Cassie Garcia, a Republican, is going to get elected.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And we're gonna have three Republicans all representing districts that
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: for over a hundred years, all three of those districts
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: have been democrat All three, I believe, are turning red,
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: and they're all going to be represented by Latinas who
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: are passionate about securing the border. Two of the three,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: my Run Cassie, are married to border patrol agents. They
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: see the human misery, they see the suffering, they see
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: the death and the centinel. Over one hundred thousand people
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: died of overdoses last year, and Joe Biden not only
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: is not doing anything to stop it, he's actively facilitating
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: it because the open border policies that he has put
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: in place are why the drugs are flooding across the border. Lastly,
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: I want to ask you about these new details and
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: do you think we will ever get anywhere with an
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: investigation Anthony Faucci, and this broke earlier today. His net
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: worth apparently has increased over seventy percent to twelve point
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: seven million dollars since the COVID pandemic. This on top
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: of new information that shows that Faucci supplemented his governmental
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: income with nearly a million dollars. And this is a
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: quote in prizes prizes Senator from nonprofit organizations such as
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the Dan David Foundation, which awarded him. And this is
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: a quote one hundred and nine thousand, four hundred dollars
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: for quote speaking truth to power and quote defending science.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: During the Trump administration. How is he able to keep
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that nine hundred and one thousand, four hundred dollars and
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: they're calling it prize money while he's supposed to be
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: a public servant. It is ridiculous. It is an abuse
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: of power. Doctor Fauci is the single most destructive and
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: damaging bureaucrat in the history of our nation. No one
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: is responsible for more damage. No one is responsible for
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: more jobs being destroyed, no one is responsible for hurting
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: more children. Faucie happily acted as a henchman for the teachers'
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: union bosses, advocated school shutdowns. Tens of millions of kids
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: were hurt by those school shutdowns, and and Fauctie also,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: I believe, very likely has committed felonies of lying to
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Congress under oath. I have called on the Department of
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: Justice to investigate and prosecute him, and given how corrupt
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: this DJ is, I've called on the Attorney General to
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: appoint a special counsel because we cannot trust this Attorney
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: General to do anything more than I don't know, maybe
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: write a check for one of these prize moneys. You ask,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: can we do anything about it? I'll tell you one thing.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to do about it. When we have Republican
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: majorities in the House and the Senate next year, You're
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: going to see hearings, You're going to see investigations, you're
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: going to see subpoena power, and we need to hold
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: them to account. And it's the reasons I'm on the
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: road virtually every day between now an election day because
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: I want to do everything humanly possible to turn people out.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: And let me urge your listeners. Number One, if you're
