TRUMP DECLARES WAR ON CARTELS, as Schumer Moves to RAM Liberal Judges down Voter's Throats · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: The deep state is going into full attack mode.
0:05
Speaker 2: In the day's left for them to be in charge.
0:10
Speaker 1: They are now demanding radical judges the left be confirmed
0:16
Speaker 1: in a lame duck session of Congress. Chuck Schumer making
0:22
Speaker 1: senators work late, late, and late each and every day,
0:28
Speaker 1: forcing Biden judicial picks to the Senate floor.
0:31
Speaker 2: Take a listen this.
0:32
Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer this morning, pledging to confirm as many Biden
0:36
Speaker 3: judges as possible.
0:39
Speaker 4: Members should be prepared for another late night on Wednesday
0:43
Speaker 4: to vote on the nominations I filed last night. Voting
0:46
Speaker 4: on the president's judicial nominees is a core function of
0:49
Speaker 4: the Senate. It's one of our basic responsibilities, and we're
0:53
Speaker 4: going to carry out that responsibility as long as this
0:56
Speaker 4: majority continues.
0:58
Speaker 3: Well, here's what incoming Senate Majority leader John Thun had
1:00
Speaker 3: to say about that. If Schumer thought Senate Republicans would
1:03
Speaker 3: just roll over and allow him to quickly confirm multiple
1:05
Speaker 3: Biden appointed judges to lifetime jobs in the final weeks
1:08
Speaker 3: of the Democrat majority, he thought wrong.
1:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, he thought wrong.
1:13
Speaker 1: Now all that is happening, I'm gonna get back to
1:15
Speaker 1: the judges in a moment.
1:16
Speaker 2: But then there's another story.
1:17
Speaker 1: And it's not just judges that the deep state is
1:19
Speaker 1: trying to pull off and the liberals are trying to
1:22
Speaker 1: pull off, you know, switches on the American people. Dick
1:26
Speaker 1: Durbin and Roger Marshall are now having a scheme to
1:30
Speaker 1: slip credit card bill into the defense spending bill. I
1:35
Speaker 1: think most of us can agree that credit card legislation
1:39
Speaker 1: should not be in the defense spending bill. Why are
1:43
Speaker 1: they doing it Because it's the only way they can
1:45
Speaker 1: get it through while they still have the majority in
1:47
Speaker 1: the Senate and get Joe Biden to sign it before
1:51
Speaker 1: Donald Trump becomes president. Senator Roger Marshall, who is a
1:55
Speaker 1: Republican from Kansas, and Dick Durbin, a Democrat from Illinois,
1:59
Speaker 1: got together and decided, Yeah, let's just screw the American people.
2:03
Speaker 1: Let's slip our credit card legislation into this defense bill
2:07
Speaker 1: during the lame duck session. Durbin, the Senate majority whip
2:10
Speaker 1: set on Monday that he wants to offer his credit
2:13
Speaker 1: card bill, the Credit Card Competition Act, as an amendment
2:17
Speaker 1: to the National Defense Authorization Act, a must pass defense bill.
2:22
Speaker 1: This would not be the first time that Durbin has
2:25
Speaker 1: attempted this maneuver. Last year, he attempted to slip his
2:28
Speaker 1: handout to big retailers. This is what happens when you
2:32
Speaker 1: have corruption in Congress, where you're not working for the
2:35
Speaker 1: people but working for the lobbyists. They give you a
2:37
Speaker 1: bunch of money and then you hook them up. He
2:40
Speaker 1: wanted to put this hand out to big retailers in
2:43
Speaker 1: the NDAA. It, like many of his, many of his
2:48
Speaker 1: and marshalls well tries, has failed.
2:52
Speaker 2: Maybe not this time.
2:54
Speaker 1: Durbin and Marshall continue to push the credit card bill,
2:56
Speaker 1: which they hope will inject more competition, they claim, into
2:59
Speaker 1: the payment processing by requiring banks to work with at
3:03
Speaker 1: least one alternative payment network besides Visa and MasterCard, the
3:08
Speaker 1: dominant players in the industry. Critics of the bill contend
3:12
Speaker 1: that it would, in addition to severely compromising the security
3:16
Speaker 1: of payment processing, kill credit card reward programs, which many
3:22
Speaker 1: consumers love. So this holiday season and I want to
3:27
Speaker 1: take a moment because this may be one of the
3:29
Speaker 1: most important gifts you ever buy for people that you love.
3:33
Speaker 2: There is one thing that I want you to know about.
3:36
Speaker 1: It is the burna less lethal pistol launcher, and it
3:41
Speaker 1: can save not only your life, but the life of
3:44
Speaker 1: someone else is a threat to you. It is a
3:46
Speaker 1: center to recognize that personal safety is a year round priority.
3:50
Speaker 1: Crime trends are spiking, especially during the holidays, making even
3:55
Speaker 1: more critical to protect what matters most the holiday season.
3:59
Speaker 1: Gift your lofe ones the peace of mind with a
4:02
Speaker 1: burner less lethal launcher. Why do I love this because
4:06
Speaker 1: it puts more distance between my loved one and their attacker.
4:11
Speaker 1: I can use this burn a launcher up to sixty
4:14
Speaker 1: feet away from someone that's a threat to me. It
4:17
Speaker 1: also has kinetic rounds that can incapacitate someone from up
4:20
Speaker 1: to forty minutes. It has these amazing chemical rounds that
4:25
Speaker 1: explode when they hit you, and it's things like pepper
4:28
Speaker 1: spray in them or tear gas, and it's going to
4:31
Speaker 1: drop someone instantly. Now, this is also great because you
4:35
Speaker 1: don't have to deal about with the irreversible consequences of
4:38
Speaker 1: deadly force.
4:39
Speaker 2: Now.
4:39
Speaker 1: Look, I carry a firearm, but many times I'm in
4:42
Speaker 1: places where I can't carry a firearm, especially when I'm traveling,
4:45
Speaker 1: and this is a fabulous backup option.
4:47
Speaker 2: Maybe you have a daughter.
4:48
Speaker 1: That lives on college campus or lives off campus, or
4:51
Speaker 1: lives alone and they're under twenty one, or maybe you
4:53
Speaker 1: have someone that just doesn't feel comfortable carrying a firearm.
4:56
Speaker 1: This is an amazing gift for them. A Burno, like
4:59
Speaker 1: I said, can and save two lives. It is a
5:01
Speaker 1: great compliment owning a firearm. And if you or your
5:04
Speaker 1: families in the situation where you feel threatened, you can
5:07
Speaker 1: start with Burna and less lethal force. It's legal in
5:10
Speaker 1: all fifty states. That's something I love because I travel.
5:13
Speaker 1: There are no permits or background checks needed. And not
5:17
Speaker 1: only do I own this, but I bought it for
5:18
Speaker 1: a ton of my family members. Burna is the answer
5:21
Speaker 1: and it is designed for easy use by all age
5:24
Speaker 1: groups eighteen and over. So check them out and I
5:28
Speaker 1: want to save you money. It's also used by government
5:30
Speaker 1: agencies and law enforcement around the country. More than a
5:33
Speaker 1: half million of these have been sold and they have
5:35
Speaker 1: more than fourteen thousand, four and a half star reviews.
5:39
Speaker 1: Visit Berna BYRNA dot com. That's burna dot com slash
5:44
Speaker 1: ferguson for ten percent off. That's by RNA dot com
5:49
Speaker 1: slash ferguson. Burna dot com slash ferguson to get ten
5:53
Speaker 1: percent off right now now I want to go back
5:55
Speaker 1: to the story. The Illinois Democrat shared a Senate Judiciary
5:59
Speaker 1: Committee here on the legislation on Tuesday, which featured executives
6:04
Speaker 1: from Visa MasterCard, among others. The lame duck session push
6:08
Speaker 1: also comes as Durbin is considering retiring.
6:10
Speaker 2: Now.
6:11
Speaker 1: The Democrats are set to be in the minority next year,
6:15
Speaker 1: so why is he doing this now? This is how
6:17
Speaker 1: you get your paydays, folks. Durbin's mood moved to include
6:20
Speaker 1: the credit card bill in the NDAA follows as incoming
6:25
Speaker 1: Senate Majority leader John Thune called for the Swiss passage
6:30
Speaker 1: of the Defense Bill. Durbin's moved to put a non
6:34
Speaker 1: germane credit card bill into the Defense Authorization Act is
6:38
Speaker 1: called well, a lot of fuss among many in the
6:41
Speaker 1: Senate here are like, what are we doing?
6:42
Speaker 2: Well, now you know exactly what they're trying to do.
6:45
Speaker 1: They lost and now they're doing every port barrel thing
6:48
Speaker 1: they can do to cover themselves. This is not what
6:53
Speaker 1: the American people are asking for yet, this is what
6:57
Speaker 1: they are doing now.
7:00
Speaker 2: One of the other things that is interesting right now
7:04
Speaker 2: is that.
7:04
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to figure out how do we deal
7:07
Speaker 1: with some of the nominees, some of the nominees that
7:12
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is put forward.
7:14
Speaker 2: How are we going to fight them?
7:16
Speaker 5: What are we.
7:16
Speaker 2: Gonna do well?
7:18
Speaker 1: Democrats are trying to figure out which ones to let
7:21
Speaker 1: go through and which ones do we fight till the death?
7:27
Speaker 1: Which ones do we say, Okay, you can have them.
7:29
Speaker 1: Joe Scarborough, who's under a lot of heat for going
7:32
Speaker 1: to meet with Donald Trump at Marlago with Mika after
7:34
Speaker 1: they called him Hitler and then they're like, Okay, never mind,
7:38
Speaker 1: he's not really Hitler anymore. That didn't make his audience
7:40
Speaker 1: happy at all. They're like, wait, you've been telling us
7:42
Speaker 1: for years he's Hitler. Now you're meeting with Hitler and
7:44
Speaker 1: trying to find common ground with Hitler. It didn't work well.
7:48
Speaker 1: He said this on Morning Joe about the nominees, and well,
7:51
Speaker 1: some of them.
7:52
Speaker 2: We even need to learn how to pronounce their names.
7:54
Speaker 6: The people that actually he has spoken to, he's the people.
7:58
Speaker 2: There's no way for it.
7:59
Speaker 7: Like in the world, none of these.
8:01
Speaker 2: Four would get through, none of them.
8:02
Speaker 5: None of them.
8:03
Speaker 6: We're getting close to getting through.
8:05
Speaker 5: And I'm talking about.
8:06
Speaker 6: RFK Toldsey Gabbart, do od I really need to learn
8:11
Speaker 6: to pronounce hexit hexith and then Matt Gates and any
8:17
Speaker 6: other world they would never get through. I will say,
8:21
Speaker 6: we're talking a lot about Matt Gates because that's what
8:23
Speaker 6: the Republican senators are talking about mainly.
8:26
Speaker 7: But man, I would find it.
8:30
Speaker 2: All of it's deeply deserving, these picks.
8:33
Speaker 7: But I cannot imagine four Republican senators turning over D
8:39
Speaker 7: and I to somebody.
8:41
Speaker 8: Who has apologized for a sod as regularly as she has,
8:46
Speaker 8: and who's just continually parented Krimlin talking points.
8:52
Speaker 7: I just again, I just don't see four Republican senators
8:56
Speaker 7: doing that any more than I see them getting Matt Gates.
9:01
Speaker 1: Now, the hit there is on Tolsi Gabbert, who by
9:03
Speaker 1: the way, is a former Democrat.
9:04
Speaker 2: Now they're saying she's the worst person in the world.
9:06
Speaker 1: They're now saying that she is gives the talking points
9:09
Speaker 1: of a side and in Siria she's they're saying she's
9:13
Speaker 1: a plant or a stooge, as it was the accusation
9:17
Speaker 1: last week that she's been compromised by the Russians.
9:20
Speaker 2: So they're really going after Tulsi.
9:22
Speaker 1: I actually think this is more about her leaving the
9:24
Speaker 1: Democratic Party and so they're like, you left our plantation.
9:29
Speaker 1: Watch what happens when you try to become a Republican
9:32
Speaker 1: on the other side and think that you can be successful.
9:35
Speaker 1: You will not be successful. We're going to destroy you.
9:41
Speaker 1: We're going to make sure that you never see the
9:44
Speaker 1: light of day, and we're going to do everything we
9:46
Speaker 1: can to stop you. Now there's also this and and
9:52
Speaker 1: I kind of laugh because if you see it, everything
9:54
Speaker 1: I just describe for you right now is panic. It's
9:58
Speaker 1: all panic there, all panicking and going all right, well,
10:02
Speaker 1: who do we stop, how do we stop? Which one
10:04
Speaker 1: do we stop? What do we say about them? Who
10:06
Speaker 1: do we attack? And and and they're coming out. It's
10:08
Speaker 1: the same playbook they used against Trump. Right, So Tolsy gabber, Oh,
10:12
Speaker 1: she's a Russian asset. No she's not, but and she
10:16
Speaker 1: serves her country and they don't like that. And she
10:19
Speaker 1: used to be a Democrat. They don't like that. RFK Junior,
10:21
Speaker 1: Oh he's he's you you know what crazy? Well, he
10:26
Speaker 1: was a Democrat, right, they're angry he left and he
10:29
Speaker 1: didn't get in line or stay in line with him.
10:31
Speaker 1: He figured out, Wow, you guys are actually crazy. You
10:33
Speaker 1: don't listen to other ideas, and you put us to
10:35
Speaker 1: the back of the room and tell us to shut up.
10:37
Speaker 1: Barack Obama considered him for EPA when he was becoming
10:44
Speaker 1: putting his cabinet together and became president and said.
10:46
Speaker 2: He was a brilliant mind.
10:48
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party loved RFK Junior, They absolutely loved him.
10:54
Speaker 2: They thought he was amazing. But he left the plantation.
10:57
Speaker 2: Now what do they do.
10:58
Speaker 1: They hate him, They want to destroy him, and they
11:00
Speaker 1: cannot believe that they're even having to deal with him.
11:04
Speaker 1: This is chaos and they know it. But Democrats love
11:10
Speaker 1: these moments. You look at the fights that they're having
11:13
Speaker 1: right now. They're actually fighting over transgendered staff for women's
11:18
Speaker 1: bathrooms in the Capitol. They didn't learn anything from the election,
11:22
Speaker 1: all right, Like they learned nothing at all. Mike Johnson
11:25
Speaker 1: to block transgender staff from women's bathroom in the Capitol,
11:29
Speaker 1: backing Nancy Mace, a congresswoman who pushed this forward, as
11:34
Speaker 1: it should have been pushed forward.
11:37
Speaker 2: The speaker asked about.
11:39
Speaker 1: This, and again, Democrats are trying to figure out some
11:42
Speaker 1: way to, you know, nail Republicans after a major election victory.
11:46
Speaker 2: This is their strategy. Apparently, Freshman elect Sarah mcfride.
11:51
Speaker 5: Odn or a woman.
11:54
Speaker 9: Look, I'm not going to get into this. We welcome
11:57
Speaker 9: all new members with open arms who or duly elected
12:01
Speaker 9: representatives of the people. I believe it's a it's a
12:05
Speaker 9: command that we treat all persons with dignity and respect,
12:08
Speaker 9: and we will and I'm not going to engage in
12:11
Speaker 9: silly debates about this. There's a concern about the uses
12:14
Speaker 9: of restroom facilities and locker rooms and all that. This
12:16
Speaker 9: is an issue that Congress has never had to address before,
12:20
Speaker 9: and we're going to do that in deliberate fashion with
12:23
Speaker 9: a member consensus on it, and we will accommodate the
12:26
Speaker 9: needs of every single person. That's all I'm going to
12:28
Speaker 9: say about that.
12:29
Speaker 10: Do you plan on bringing Nancy Basis Transgender Bill and
12:33
Speaker 10: putting that into the rules package?
12:35
Speaker 5: We're not.
12:35
Speaker 9: I'm not going to address the plans on any of that.
12:37
Speaker 9: I just told you what I'm going to say about
12:39
Speaker 9: the issue. I'm not going to engage in this. We
12:40
Speaker 9: don't look down upon anyone. We treat everybody with dignity respect.
12:43
Speaker 9: That's a principle that I pursued my whole life, and
12:45
Speaker 9: we will take care of this. You know, issue of
12:48
Speaker 9: first impression for Congress, as we will any other thing. Well,
12:51
Speaker 9: we'll provide appropriate accommodation for every member of Congress.
12:56
Speaker 1: This is their objective, try to control and derail the
13:03
Speaker 1: causes of the conservative movement who were elected to go
13:08
Speaker 1: in to fight for the American people by trying to
13:13
Speaker 1: just turn these absurd moments into like normal talk, like
13:18
Speaker 1: is it a man or a woman? Like, look, we
13:20
Speaker 1: whoever the people elect, We're gonna let them serve and
13:23
Speaker 1: do it with dignity. What a great idea. But how
13:25
Speaker 1: is that controversy? They don't like the answer. They don't
13:28
Speaker 1: like that he didn't take the bait. They don't like
13:30
Speaker 1: that he didn't get into a shouting match of course,
13:32
Speaker 1: like we believe that this chick is really a dude
13:35
Speaker 1: and that's his DNA and that's how he was born,
13:36
Speaker 1: and we're not gonna get it. But you notice, I
13:38
Speaker 1: think Speaker Johnson handled that perfectly. What are Republicans focus on?
13:44
Speaker 1: Special Forces? Vet Evan Hayfer was on Joe Rogan's show
13:49
Speaker 1: and they were talking about Donald Trump declaring war on
13:52
Speaker 1: the cartels, because this is what this election was actually about.
13:56
Speaker 1: Wasn't about bathrooms in Congress they're trying to do. It
14:01
Speaker 1: wasn't about them attacking and saying everybody they don't like,
14:03
Speaker 1: who's going to be in the cabinet as a Russian asset.
14:07
Speaker 1: It's about what the American people wanted, which was safety
14:10
Speaker 1: at the border. They don't want the number of people
14:14
Speaker 1: coming across the border, or legal immigrants that are killing
14:16
Speaker 1: Americans each and every day, the horrific murdering of women
14:20
Speaker 1: and raping of women at the hands of illegal immigrants
14:23
Speaker 1: who are taking these flights from New York to Georgia,
14:25
Speaker 1: for example, when they were able to murder a college
14:28
Speaker 1: student in Athens. The American people care about the drugs
14:33
Speaker 1: coming across the border.
14:35
Speaker 2: That's what this election was about.
14:38
Speaker 1: Take a listen to what the Special Forces veteran Evan
14:40
Speaker 1: Hafer said on Joe Rogan's show about what's about to
14:43
Speaker 1: happen because Donald Trump is elected and will be sworn in.
14:49
Speaker 10: I was thinking about this from a thought exercise where
14:51
Speaker 10: I'm I because I you know, I know these units.
14:55
Speaker 2: I'm intimately familiar with them.
14:56
Speaker 11: Uh huh, bro.
15:00
Speaker 10: If we declare war on the cartel like these these
15:03
Speaker 10: dudes are not gonna understand what the is going on.
15:07
Speaker 2: No, of course they are. They are going to be
15:10
Speaker 2: because God.
15:12
Speaker 11: You'll stop the district guys, that's gonna be.
15:15
Speaker 5: Yeah.
15:15
Speaker 10: They are in for a world of like ultra violence
15:20
Speaker 10: they've never actually felt before, because you know, obviously this
15:22
Speaker 10: is a very capable, it's a violent organization. They have
15:25
Speaker 10: no clue if we organize these Tier one units against them.
15:30
Speaker 10: This is going to be what I would be doing
15:33
Speaker 10: if I was down there, like I know all those
15:35
Speaker 10: shoe boxes in my you know, my walls that I'm
15:37
Speaker 10: gonna have to collect up, I'd be getting ready to
15:39
Speaker 10: retire right now. That's what I would be doing, because
15:41
Speaker 10: if Delta Force is hunting me bro, I would be
15:44
Speaker 10: so terrified.
15:45
Speaker 11: Is that a real thing that they they've proposed doing, Yes.
15:49
Speaker 2: That is a real thing, you propose that.
15:52
Speaker 10: I'm almost positive either JD or Trump had said something
15:56
Speaker 10: with the new guy from Ice like we're gonna mobilize
15:59
Speaker 10: Tier one units against the cartel. The only thing I
16:02
Speaker 10: thought was like retire if you guys, you guys got
16:07
Speaker 10: some money, man, I would like put that away, you know,
16:10
Speaker 10: like maybe move Jamaica, go somewhere, yeah, buy a restaurant,
16:14
Speaker 10: like try to go legit, because dude, if those guys
16:17
Speaker 10: are hunting you, by the way, like you're done, and.
16:22
Speaker 11: It's a weird thing that that's going on right on
16:24
Speaker 11: our border. It's a graird thing because it's so close
16:27
Speaker 11: to us, and it's so ultra violent and dangerous, and
16:30
Speaker 11: it's just completely shaped the way the entire economy of
16:34
Speaker 11: the country works.
16:35
Speaker 8: You know.
16:36
Speaker 11: There they have so much power and control, and it's
16:38
Speaker 11: a criminal organization that is entirely almost entirely at least
16:42
Speaker 11: funded by us, by our desired Trump declares war on cartels.
16:48
Speaker 11: President lex said notorious crime syndicates and drug kingpins will
16:51
Speaker 11: never sleep soundly again once he launches his plants and
16:54
Speaker 11: tackle the issue.
16:55
Speaker 10: I thought about this for a long time where I'm like,
16:59
Speaker 10: if they earn loose Delta Force and Seal Team six
17:03
Speaker 10: on cartels and pedophiles, we could just kind of like
17:06
Speaker 10: erase the problem. In about it two years to be gone.
17:11
Speaker 11: He wants to send troops to Mexico. He said, we
17:13
Speaker 11: make appropriates of Special Forces cyber war for another overt
17:16
Speaker 11: and covert actions to inflict macnimum damage on cartel leadership,
17:20
Speaker 11: infrastructure and operations. Oh jesus, here it is going to
17:24
Speaker 11: get wild.
17:26
Speaker 2: Old twentieth.
17:29
Speaker 1: You listen to what he said there. He said, these
17:32
Speaker 1: dudes are not going to understand what's going on. He said,
17:35
Speaker 1: I thought about this long and hard. They have they are,
17:40
Speaker 1: They're not going to there.
17:43
Speaker 2: They're going to go to war.
17:44
Speaker 1: By the way, I want them to go to war
17:46
Speaker 1: with the cartels. They are a terrorist organization. I'm going
17:50
Speaker 1: to read the transcript because I want to read it
17:53
Speaker 1: for you because it's just so wild.
17:55
Speaker 2: Quote.
17:56
Speaker 1: I thought about this long, for a long, hard time,
17:58
Speaker 1: where I'm like, if they if they turn loose Delta
18:01
Speaker 1: Force and steal Team six on cartels and pedophiles, we
18:05
Speaker 1: could just kind of like erase the problem. In about
18:08
Speaker 1: two years, it'd be gone. Joe Rogan he wants to
18:12
Speaker 1: send troops to Mexico, Hey forre Yeah yeah, Rogan. He
18:15
Speaker 1: said he'd make appropriate. He'd make it. He'd make it appropriate.
18:19
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Hayfers says Rogan. Use a Special Forces, cyber
18:23
Speaker 1: warfare and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum
18:26
Speaker 1: damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure and operations. Oh blank, Rogan says.
18:32
Speaker 1: Hayfer says, bro It's going to get wild. It's going
18:35
Speaker 1: to get wild. Rogan says hey for on January the twentieth,
18:40
Speaker 1: This is why you designate them a terrorist organization. These cartels,
18:45
Speaker 1: they've got enough firepower to stand up, no doubt about it,
18:49
Speaker 1: to corrupt governments in Mexico. Like, there's no doubt that
18:54
Speaker 1: they have the firepower to stand up and to make
18:58
Speaker 1: people's lives a living hell.
19:01
Speaker 2: No doubt.
19:02
Speaker 1: And they have been able to terrorize people down there
19:05
Speaker 1: for decades. Mexico and their government, including their president and
19:10
Speaker 1: virtually every elected official down there that's in a major
19:13
Speaker 1: position of power. They're corrupt as hell, and they're owned
19:17
Speaker 1: and financed by the cartels. You think that Mexico's ever
19:22
Speaker 1: gonna stop this.
19:23
Speaker 2: They're not. They're never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever ever
19:26
Speaker 2: ever ever gonna stop this. They're just not gonna do it.
19:30
Speaker 2: They're not. They will not stop it.
19:34
Speaker 1: So what Donald Trump has said is something I think
19:38
Speaker 1: is very clear. We're gonna go to war with them.
19:42
Speaker 1: You guys can't do your own job. We're gonna take
19:44
Speaker 1: them out. They're killing American citizens, they're smuggling people in
19:48
Speaker 1: and out of this country. They're allowing for terrorists to
19:50
Speaker 1: come in. The list goes on and on and on.
19:53
Speaker 1: You guys want to screw with us, Okay, let's go
19:55
Speaker 1: to war. I'm going to declare you a terrorist organization,
19:58
Speaker 1: which they are. I cannot imagine what still Team six
20:03
Speaker 1: and these other Special operators will be able to do
20:05
Speaker 1: if Donald Trump allows them to do their job. And
20:09
Speaker 1: what we're hearing right now is that there is a
20:12
Speaker 1: very good chance that Donald Trump is going to allow.
20:14
Speaker 2: Them to do their job.
20:18
Speaker 1: So there are two very different parties right now, Okay,
20:22
Speaker 1: very very very different parties. One of these parties is
20:28
Speaker 1: over there fighting over you know, trying to push you know,
20:32
Speaker 1: judicial nominees through in lame duck sessions of Congress. They're
20:36
Speaker 1: trying to fight over women's bathrooms, for goodness sakes. And
20:40
Speaker 1: then the other side of it is something completely different
20:44
Speaker 1: than that, where Republicans are actually fighting over issues the
20:47
Speaker 1: American people said they wanted them to fight over. You notice,
20:50
Speaker 1: like the Credit Card Authorization Act. I mentioned earlier that
20:53
Speaker 1: they're trying to put a defense bill. They don't even
20:55
Speaker 1: care about defending this country. They care about how they're
20:57
Speaker 1: going to make their money, and the corrupt the Democratic Party,
21:01
Speaker 1: how they're going to make their money over putting together
21:02
Speaker 1: a credit card bill.
21:05
Speaker 2: That they want.
21:06
Speaker 1: It's going to get one of their friends rich. If
21:08
Speaker 1: Tick Durbin leaves the Senate. By the way, you don't
21:10
Speaker 1: think he's going to go and lobby in this sector.
21:13
Speaker 1: Like it's so transparent, it's so obvious.
21:16
Speaker 2: It's just laughable.
21:18
Speaker 1: It really, I mean it is, It is absolutely laughable.
21:23
Speaker 2: Coming up next, Senator Ted Cruz is going to join us.
21:27
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about all of this going on,
21:30
Speaker 1: as well as his trip with Elon Musk and the
21:33
Speaker 1: trip to go watch SpaceX and what Donald Trump had
21:36
Speaker 1: to say on the plane on that ride from Florida
21:39
Speaker 1: to Texas and back. All right, real quick, though, I
21:41
Speaker 1: want to just take a pause and talk about delta defense.
21:44
Speaker 1: Everyone thinks they're keeping their family safe, but are you
21:49
Speaker 1: really Anything might happen if you dare defend yourself. Our
21:53
Speaker 1: twisted legal system will probably put you behind bars while
21:57
Speaker 1: the criminal walks free. See, they've got us to a
22:00
Speaker 1: point where we're fighting to keep our Second Amendment rights
22:03
Speaker 1: yet risk losing everything if we actually use them. That's
22:08
Speaker 1: why over eight hundred thousand Americans are members of the USCCA,
22:13
Speaker 1: because not only will you get access to their Protector
22:17
Speaker 1: Academy to learn vital skills like precision shooting and how
22:21
Speaker 1: to fortify your home against criminals. But you also get
22:24
Speaker 1: access to the twenty four to seven Critical Response Team
22:29
Speaker 1: and the included benefit of Self Defense Liability Insurance to
22:35
Speaker 1: make sure you and your family are prepared for anything.
22:40
Speaker 1: And for a limited time, text the word America to
22:44
Speaker 1: eight seven two to two to get the uscca's free
22:51
Speaker 1: Life Saving Concealed Carry and Family Defense Guide and a
22:56
Speaker 1: chance to win seventeen hundred dollars to buy any self
23:00
Speaker 1: defense gear you need before it's too late again. Right now,
23:04
Speaker 1: Text the word America to eight seven two to two.
23:10
Speaker 1: Right now, that's eight seven two two two. Text to
23:14
Speaker 1: word America now, all right now, yesterday was really cool
23:18
Speaker 1: because Center Ted Cruz was asked to fly to Texas
23:22
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump and it was a long fight there
23:24
Speaker 1: and back and they got spent about ten hours with
23:26
Speaker 1: Elon Musk and the launch at SpaceX. It was incredible
23:30
Speaker 1: and I want you to hear how that day went down.
23:33
Speaker 1: We did this in our podcast Vertict with Ted Cruz,
23:36
Speaker 1: and I wanted to play part of this for you.
23:38
Speaker 1: Take a listen, all right, Center, We're gonna do rapid
23:41
Speaker 1: fire here because there's a million people that are thinking
23:43
Speaker 1: what I'm thinking, and that is how does it work?
23:46
Speaker 1: You go down to Florida, you meet at the tarmac,
23:50
Speaker 1: and then you get on Trump Force one.
23:52
Speaker 2: What is the process of that?
23:54
Speaker 12: Even like, hey, well we landed in Texas. So we
23:57
Speaker 12: landed in Brownsville. Brownsville, as you know, is the southern
24:01
Speaker 12: tip of Texas, and it's where SpaceX at Boca Chica
24:06
Speaker 12: has built their launch site and has built a factory.
24:09
Speaker 12: And the factory is where they build starships, which are
24:14
Speaker 12: massive that they are the largest rockets in the world.
24:18
Speaker 12: They're absolutely massive. They build them there and it's where
24:21
Speaker 12: the launch was and the size of it just the
24:25
Speaker 12: rocket booster has thirty three Raptor engines in it.
24:30
Speaker 2: Wow.
24:30
Speaker 12: And each of those Raptor engines produces twice as much
24:35
Speaker 12: thrust as all four engines on a seven forty seven. So,
24:40
Speaker 12: I mean, it is incredible the power that comes out
24:44
Speaker 12: of the engines. And by the way, SpaceX makes those engines,
24:47
Speaker 12: they make the boosters, they.
24:48
Speaker 5: Make the starship.
24:49
Speaker 12: And so we were gathered at the observation deck to
24:54
Speaker 12: watch the launch, and the observation deck is a couple
24:58
Speaker 12: of miles away from the launch because you can't be
25:00
Speaker 12: too close the noise is too great. And and so
25:04
Speaker 12: we you know, saw the launch control room and and
25:07
Speaker 12: then stood there with it with Elon, and he was
25:08
Speaker 12: telling us about all the challenges and listen, they're still
25:12
Speaker 12: in the in the testing mode. I mean, this is
25:14
Speaker 12: this is a starship that that that Elon hopes and
25:18
Speaker 12: intends to take to Mars. And so they are testing
25:21
Speaker 12: that that they're improving, for example, the the the ceramic
25:25
Speaker 12: heat shield tiles that are on the starship. They're improving
25:28
Speaker 12: their thrusters that and they're experimenting and learning what works,
25:31
Speaker 12: and and so we you know, look, Elon was was
25:34
Speaker 12: very honest. He said, look at a test like this,
25:36
Speaker 12: we don't know what happens. And sometimes when you're testing rockets,
25:40
Speaker 12: you know, rockets can blow up.
25:41
Speaker 5: It's why you test them to make.
25:42
Speaker 12: Sure that that that that if they do have a problem,
25:45
Speaker 12: that they have a problem before you have a man's
25:49
Speaker 12: crew on it. And there was no man crew on
25:51
Speaker 12: this launch. But you're testing different different technology to see
25:55
Speaker 12: how it operates. And so we stood there and watched
25:57
Speaker 12: the launch and people all around the world watch the launch.
26:00
Speaker 12: The launch was successful. It was amazing to watch. We
26:03
Speaker 12: saw it. What was really striking is you see it
26:06
Speaker 12: and then then it takes several seconds for the sound
26:10
Speaker 12: to travel that distance, so it's already and I mean
26:13
Speaker 12: you're literally even at a several miles away, like like
26:16
Speaker 12: the ground is shaking from the force of the rocket launch.
26:20
Speaker 5: And and and Elon is someone whom I know.
26:23
Speaker 12: Well, I've spent a lot of time with Elon, but
26:25
Speaker 12: every time I'm with him, the guy is just so
26:28
Speaker 12: friggin smart. I mean, it's look, Ben, I've been blessed
26:32
Speaker 12: to get to know a lot of really scary smart people,
26:37
Speaker 12: and I got to say, Elon is just in a
26:38
Speaker 12: class all by himself. I mean, it's the guy just
26:43
Speaker 12: thinks it's not even outside the box. He doesn't know
26:46
Speaker 12: there's a box. He just you look at something like
26:49
Speaker 12: rocket ships. Everyone fired rockets in the air and then
26:53
Speaker 12: the boosters fell and you just discarded them and you
26:55
Speaker 12: did it again. And so every rocket was a single
26:57
Speaker 12: use rocket and and Elon revolutionized So well, wait a second,
27:01
Speaker 12: why do we have to have single use rockets?
27:03
Speaker 5: Why not fire rocket in the air.
27:05
Speaker 12: And then have it come down and why not catch
27:07
Speaker 12: it out of the air with giant robot arms which
27:10
Speaker 12: he calls chopsticks. And everyone's, Okay, that's absurd, that's insane.
27:13
Speaker 12: Nobody can do that. That doesn't make any sense. And
27:16
Speaker 12: of course that's exactly what Elon built, and it's it
27:19
Speaker 12: has so changed it was kind of funny. Elon referred
27:21
Speaker 12: several times, uh to the to this as alien technology.
27:25
Speaker 5: And and and you know it, I.
27:27
Speaker 12: Don't think that's too much of an exaggeration watching it,
27:32
Speaker 12: so we all watched an amazement, uh as.
27:35
Speaker 1: As as we were watching or I was watching on TV,
27:38
Speaker 1: and many others were. I do have to say one
27:40
Speaker 1: of the most fun parts for me of watching you know,
27:44
Speaker 1: Trump and you and everybody there is just the boy
27:47
Speaker 1: boyhood excitement is and I say that in the in
27:50
Speaker 1: the in the the most sincere and authentic way ever
27:54
Speaker 1: on the faces of everyone that was able to watch us.
27:57
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are, just getting to watch it,
28:01
Speaker 1: and to see Elon's face in your face, in present
28:04
Speaker 1: Trunk's face, and others that were around you, guys. I
28:06
Speaker 1: saw Haggarty there for example. It was just the moment
28:09
Speaker 1: of like, this is unbelievable.
28:13
Speaker 12: Well, and it was traveling, so the starship itself traveled
28:17
Speaker 12: halfway around the world.
28:20
Speaker 5: The booster separated.
28:21
Speaker 12: We saw the booster separate, and initially the plan was
28:25
Speaker 12: that it was going to go down and be caught
28:28
Speaker 12: by the robot arms where it had been launched, and
28:30
Speaker 12: in fact it separates. So the booster was attached to
28:34
Speaker 12: the starship for a minute and a half and then
28:36
Speaker 12: it separated, and we initially got the call catches a go,
28:39
Speaker 12: which we were excited about because they only try to
28:42
Speaker 12: catch it if all the conditions are right, and so
28:44
Speaker 12: they were going to catch the booster, and then they
28:47
Speaker 12: ended up altering the plan and not doing the catch,
28:50
Speaker 12: but having it instead landed the Gulf of Mexico, and
28:53
Speaker 12: so the conditions were slightly off and so they had
28:55
Speaker 12: it land.
28:56
Speaker 5: In the gulf.
28:57
Speaker 12: But Elon was really happy because it landed in the gulf.
29:00
Speaker 12: But it but it did not explode. And last time
29:03
Speaker 12: when it landed the golf, it did explode. And so look,
29:05
Speaker 12: they're testing different things to see what happens.
29:07
Speaker 5: Uh. And it was interesting.
29:09
Speaker 12: It floats in the water and I was asking him
29:11
Speaker 12: on why does it float? He says, well, look, once
29:13
Speaker 12: once the liquid methane and liquid oxygen is out.
29:17
Speaker 5: He said. It has the density essentially of an empty
29:19
Speaker 5: beer can.
29:20
Speaker 12: And and so just like you throw an empty beer
29:23
Speaker 12: can on the water and it floats, that's that's the
29:24
Speaker 12: same thing as the booster. And and so they're going
29:27
Speaker 12: and salvaging the booster and discovering, Okay, what happened, what's
29:31
Speaker 12: going on there? So that landed pretty quickly. The starship
29:36
Speaker 12: traveled for about an hour and it landed.
29:40
Speaker 1: I think about go inside after how long were you outside?
29:44
Speaker 2: And then where did you get to watch the second part?
29:47
Speaker 5: So we were outside.
29:50
Speaker 12: We arrived probably an hour before the launch, and so
29:52
Speaker 12: we were talking with Elon and we were in the
29:55
Speaker 12: control room and just having conversations, and we watched lunch,
29:59
Speaker 12: and we watched the booster separate, and then we watched
30:03
Speaker 12: the booster come down. Although we couldn't see the booster
30:06
Speaker 12: landed far enough out in the gulf that we couldn't
30:08
Speaker 12: see with our naked eye the booster landing in the water,
30:10
Speaker 12: but we had the video on.
30:12
Speaker 5: A big screen, so we were watching it there.
30:15
Speaker 12: And then what we did, because you had about an
30:17
Speaker 12: hour while the starship was traveling in space, and it
30:20
Speaker 12: was going about twenty six thousand kilometers an hour. It
30:24
Speaker 12: was about one hundred and sixty kilometers above planet Earth.
30:27
Speaker 12: One of the things Elon said is that the Starship
30:29
Speaker 12: was traveling about ten times the speed of a bullet
30:34
Speaker 12: out of an assault rifle, which there's an analogy you
30:37
Speaker 12: can understand, Ben and as final out, Junior was laughing, going,
30:41
Speaker 12: all right, that makes sense to me too, But that's fast.
30:45
Speaker 2: So you got to watch all of this take place.
30:48
Speaker 1: How important is this just this technology and the fact
30:52
Speaker 1: that it's being done in Texas, because that is the
30:55
Speaker 1: reason why you were on that plane. That's why they
30:57
Speaker 1: asked you to go down there, because this is in Texas.
31:01
Speaker 1: I don't think people realize what this is doing for
31:03
Speaker 1: the Texas economy as well.
31:06
Speaker 12: So it is incredible. And while the Starship was flying
31:10
Speaker 12: halfway around the world, we left the launch observation site.
31:14
Speaker 12: We went to the factory, which is right at the
31:17
Speaker 12: launch site now the factory. So five years ago this
31:22
Speaker 12: was essentially an empty beach, like just sand and nothing
31:26
Speaker 12: was on it. And in five years Elon has built
31:30
Speaker 12: this incredible and I've been to it before, I've toured
31:33
Speaker 12: it before, but it is it takes your breath away.
31:37
Speaker 12: They are manufacturing about one rocket ship a month, and
31:41
Speaker 12: then these things are massive. So you go into the
31:43
Speaker 12: factory and there, I think it was twenty two stories high.
31:47
Speaker 5: As how tall the booster is. I mean, it just
31:49
Speaker 5: goes up and up and up and up, and it's huge.
31:53
Speaker 12: And you know, we went in and saw and they
31:56
Speaker 12: are manufacturing them to a level of precision down to
32:00
Speaker 12: the tenth of a millimeter. I mean, you think about this,
32:02
Speaker 12: It's not like it's not like SpaceX is making just widgets.
32:06
Speaker 5: I mean, if a screw is wrong, the damn think
32:09
Speaker 5: can blow up.
32:10
Speaker 12: Look like, there's so many ways for something to go wrong,
32:15
Speaker 12: and they have a level of precision that is just astonishing.
32:21
Speaker 12: And so we went in and saw and toured, and
32:24
Speaker 12: one of the things Elon said is is, look, they're
32:26
Speaker 12: doing launch after launch after launch and everyone they're improving
32:29
Speaker 12: the technology and they're trying different things.
32:31
Speaker 5: So one of the things they did on.
32:32
Speaker 12: This one is they're testing different angles of re entry
32:37
Speaker 12: to see, Okay, if you angle the starship at a
32:41
Speaker 12: slightly different angle, is there more heat, is there less heat?
32:44
Speaker 12: What happens? You know, what's the optimum angle? So they're
32:48
Speaker 12: trying all sorts of different things. So we toured those facilities.
32:52
Speaker 12: By the way, they like basically built a whole town.
32:56
Speaker 12: They built housing for the employees. One of the things
32:59
Speaker 12: Elon said that that, you know, is a challenge when
33:01
Speaker 12: you're recruiting the best engineers and rocket scientists and they're
33:05
Speaker 12: literally rocket scientists, is he said, you've got to find
33:09
Speaker 12: a place that that there significant others want to live.
33:11
Speaker 12: And so they basically built the whole community with like
33:14
Speaker 12: houses all around there. And like, I didn't go this time,
33:17
Speaker 12: but I've been previously. They have like a little tiki
33:20
Speaker 12: bar that's sort of a club that that that the
33:23
Speaker 12: employees can go and hang out. And then, you know,
33:25
Speaker 12: he said, look, you gotta you have to create an
33:27
Speaker 12: environment that that that that that both your your incredibly
33:31
Speaker 12: skilled employees and and their significant others want to be in.
33:35
Speaker 12: And and one thing you know, but not every every
33:38
Speaker 12: Verdict listener may know, Look, Brownsville has historically been faced
33:44
Speaker 12: very significant economic challenges and and so to have this
33:48
Speaker 12: incredible high tech billions and billions of dollars invested in
33:54
Speaker 12: Brownsville and in in deep South Texas in the Rial
33:57
Speaker 12: Rand Valley was really significant. By the way, when we
34:01
Speaker 12: took the motorcade from where Trump Force one landed to
34:03
Speaker 12: the launch site, the entire road side of driving along
34:09
Speaker 12: there were thousands of people waving signs, waving American flags, cheering.
34:15
Speaker 12: And one of the most significant aspects of this election
34:19
Speaker 12: in Texas is that both Donald Trump and I, both
34:23
Speaker 12: of us won Hispanics in the state of Texas. I
34:27
Speaker 12: won Hispanics by six point statewide. That's unprecedented. And the
34:32
Speaker 12: Rio Grande Valley, South Texas has been bright blue for
34:36
Speaker 12: one hundred years. It has been just an absolute bastion
34:41
Speaker 12: of the Democrat Party. And this election, South Texas flipped red.
34:47
Speaker 12: I mean, the Star County had a fifty point move.
34:51
Speaker 12: It's the most Hispanic county in America and it had
34:55
Speaker 12: a massive move.
34:56
Speaker 5: Trump won it.
34:57
Speaker 12: The move in South Texas, I think is generational and transformational.
35:02
Speaker 12: And you could just see it as people were cheering
35:04
Speaker 12: and thrilled the President was there that that was a
35:07
Speaker 12: very cool aspect of it as well.
35:10
Speaker 2: All right, final question on this trip.
35:12
Speaker 1: So you get done with all this excitement and then
35:15
Speaker 1: this is still kind of awesome. You get back on
35:17
Speaker 1: Trump Force one and you fly back to Florida.
35:21
Speaker 2: What was the conversation like on the way home.
35:25
Speaker 5: Again, It was relaxed. We're having fun, We're talking.
35:29
Speaker 12: You know, we had had Fox on and so we're
35:31
Speaker 12: watching Jesse Waters, lor Ingram and Hannity. We're talking about
35:34
Speaker 12: all that and just sort of riffing back and forth.
35:38
Speaker 8: You know.
35:38
Speaker 12: As we were landing, Trump began playing music. And so
35:43
Speaker 12: when he stand at mar A Lago, Trump likes to
35:45
Speaker 12: basically be the DJ, and he has an iPad there
35:48
Speaker 12: that he controls the music at mar Lago and they'll
35:50
Speaker 12: sit there at the table and just play the songs
35:52
Speaker 12: he wants to listen to. And so as we were
35:55
Speaker 12: landing in Palm Beach, he put on guns N' Roses
35:59
Speaker 12: and video that he loves from guns N' Roses, and
36:02
Speaker 12: then he put on another music video from Pavroti, which
36:05
Speaker 12: you want to talk about some breadth in music taste.
36:09
Speaker 5: That's what we.
36:10
Speaker 12: Were listening to as we went wheels down back in Florida.
36:14
Speaker 1: Now, did you eat any McDonald's, Because there's a lot
36:17
Speaker 1: of pictures that get taken on Trump for one eating McDonald's.
36:20
Speaker 5: We did not.
36:21
Speaker 12: Our dinner instead was Waburger because we were in Texas, damit.
36:25
