WORLD LEADERS THRILLED TO SEE Biden's 'Slow and Painful' Press Conference Become Unhinged! · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:00
Speaker 1: Joe Biden had a press conference yesterday, the first one
0:04
Speaker 1: that he's had since he became president. He waited longer
0:06
Speaker 1: than anyone else have a press conference, and now we
0:08
Speaker 1: clearly understand why they waited so long to have this
0:12
Speaker 1: press conference. If the White House staff around Joe Biden
0:15
Speaker 1: saw what we witnessed yesterday, I now no longer blame
0:19
Speaker 1: them from protecting him from the press, realizing he can't
0:22
Speaker 1: go up there on stage and he can't do this.
0:25
Speaker 1: Yesterday's press conference was terrible, and I do want to
0:28
Speaker 1: make this point clear. I am not talking about even
0:31
Speaker 1: from a policy standpoint. I'm not talking about this from
0:34
Speaker 1: a political standpoint. I'm talking about this from a national
0:39
Speaker 1: security standpoint. It is very clear that Joe Biden is
0:43
Speaker 1: having some cognitive issues. And the fact that this guy
0:46
Speaker 1: is supposed to be the one that is going to
0:48
Speaker 1: be protecting defending US if we have to go into
0:50
Speaker 1: some sort of conflict or war or to deal with
0:52
Speaker 1: nuclear proliferation North Korea, this should be concerning for all Americans.
0:57
Speaker 1: There was one quote that will stand out from this
1:00
Speaker 1: press conference. I'm gonna read you Joe Biden's words exactly,
1:03
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna play them for you in some other
1:05
Speaker 1: of the comments that he made. But this is an
1:09
Speaker 1: actual quote from this press conference, a press conference, by
1:12
Speaker 1: the way, where his staff clearly knew that he was unprepared.
1:15
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about unprepared because he didn't study,
1:18
Speaker 1: had plenty of time to study for this press conference.
1:20
Speaker 1: I'm talking about unprepared. Just they understood that he couldn't
1:24
Speaker 1: do this press conference on his own mental capacity. They
1:27
Speaker 1: had to give him cheat sheets. They had to give
1:30
Speaker 1: him fourteen point font in talking points that we have
1:33
Speaker 1: now seen him pictures. They had to give him a
1:36
Speaker 1: picture book. And I'm not trying to make fun. I'm
1:39
Speaker 1: not making fun. Let me make that clear of Joe
1:41
Speaker 1: Biden for this, because it is clear that our enemies
1:45
Speaker 1: witnessed and saw this yesterday, which puts all of us
1:47
Speaker 1: in harm's way. There was an actual picture book created
1:50
Speaker 1: for Joe Biden so that he could find the member
1:53
Speaker 1: of the media and then he was told which ones
1:56
Speaker 1: to call on and numbers next to him like one
1:58
Speaker 1: and two and three with picture of them. Now, the
2:01
Speaker 1: media would have destroyed Donald Trump if this would have happened,
2:05
Speaker 1: if he would have had notes that he read from
2:07
Speaker 1: actual notes that he read from in response to national
2:11
Speaker 1: security issues, where he says, let me get to you
2:13
Speaker 1: the answer that looks down at notes and read you
2:15
Speaker 1: a response with no fault from the media. But that's
2:19
Speaker 1: the political side this. I'm now talking about the national
2:21
Speaker 1: security side of it. I'm genuinely concerned about the well
2:24
Speaker 1: being of this country. Knowing that this is exactly what
2:27
Speaker 1: Joe Biden is doing or not doing. I get now.
2:31
Speaker 1: I understand why they protected him from the public. They're
2:34
Speaker 1: having to protect him from the public. Journalists yesterday off
2:38
Speaker 1: the record that I talked to said they've never seen
2:41
Speaker 1: anything like it. They actually quote felt bad for him
2:45
Speaker 1: seeing Biden's decline. As one journalist set off the record,
2:49
Speaker 1: they said, everybody walked out of the room and they
2:51
Speaker 1: realized how fast this man is declining. Is how they
2:55
Speaker 1: put it to me. Of course they're not gonna say
2:56
Speaker 1: that on the record. There remember of the liberal media.
2:58
Speaker 1: But Joe Biden looked incompetent. He looked foolish. There were
3:02
Speaker 1: points that were even laughable. I watched this and I
3:06
Speaker 1: said to myself, this is not good for America. I
3:08
Speaker 1: know that Joe Biden is going to be the president
3:11
Speaker 1: for the next four years, maybe less. I don't know
3:14
Speaker 1: based on what I saw yesterday. But my point is
3:16
Speaker 1: I never want America to look this week under any leader.
3:19
Speaker 1: Once you become president, units it's America. I'm rooting for
3:21
Speaker 1: you always from a national security standpoint. We may disagree
3:25
Speaker 1: on domestic policy issues, but if you look at what
3:27
Speaker 1: happened yesterday in this press conference, it was horrific. President
3:31
Speaker 1: Joe Biden spoke about going to the Senate one hundred
3:35
Speaker 1: and twenty years ago, claiming that nothing had changed on
3:38
Speaker 1: the border regarding legal immigrants. Those are just two things
3:41
Speaker 1: that he said that don't even make sense. We all
3:44
Speaker 1: know there's a change at the border. Democrats admit there's
3:46
Speaker 1: a change of the border regarding legal immigration. But Joe
3:49
Speaker 1: Biden actually talked about the Philipbuster and said when I
3:51
Speaker 1: was in the Senate one hundred and twenty years ago,
3:53
Speaker 1: that's not an Oops, folks. This comes after a week
3:56
Speaker 1: ago when he said referred to Kamala Harris as the president.
4:00
Speaker 1: Posters have come out and said voters created Joe Biden's
4:02
Speaker 1: press conference is terrible. They're concerned, independence say they're concerned
4:07
Speaker 1: about his cognitive functions here and the rest of the
4:11
Speaker 1: world saw an opportunity to move forward with whatever they
4:13
Speaker 1: want to do, because it's very obvious that Joe Biden
4:16
Speaker 1: cannot handle or even I would argue, is not really
4:19
Speaker 1: in control right now. Other people were making decisions on
4:22
Speaker 1: his behalf and then he's quote implementing them. It's a problem.
4:26
Speaker 1: New York Posts had a headline today that said stumbling
4:30
Speaker 1: Biden lies and media swoons, gazed and confused. Fox and
4:36
Speaker 1: Friends this morning opened up their broadcast sounding like this,
4:39
Speaker 1: the amazing press conference. Sixty four days it took President
4:43
Speaker 1: Joe Biden to do a press conference, and the New
4:46
Speaker 1: York Post is saying he looks glazed and confused. They
4:50
Speaker 1: can look at some of these sound bites from the
4:53
Speaker 1: conference here. The best way to get something done if
4:57
Speaker 1: it holds near and dear to you that you I
5:00
Speaker 1: like to be able to anyway, We're ready to get
5:08
Speaker 1: a lot done. When I was a United States Senator,
5:10
Speaker 1: I mean Vice president, Am I giving you too long
5:13
Speaker 1: an answer because if you don't want the detail? No?
5:15
Speaker 1: But I mean I don't know how much detail you
5:17
Speaker 1: want about immigration? Okay, where am I here? Let me see?
5:23
Speaker 1: Do you agree? Yes? If not, why not abolish it
5:27
Speaker 1: if it's a relic of the Jim Crow era. And
5:30
Speaker 1: so I'm convinced that we'll be able to stop this
5:33
Speaker 1: because it is the most pernicious thing. This makes Jim
5:37
Speaker 1: Crowe look like Jim Eagle. Successful. Electro politics is the
5:41
Speaker 1: art of the possible. You got the right code for
5:45
Speaker 1: your credit card? You know what was your dog's name? Okay,
5:50
Speaker 1: hang on, sorry, Oh, I want to make this clear.
5:57
Speaker 1: I'm not playing this to make fun of Joe Biden.
6:00
Speaker 1: But when you start talking about your credit card and
6:02
Speaker 1: your dog name, and it makes no contact and no sense,
6:06
Speaker 1: and the contexts the question you were asked, when you're
6:08
Speaker 1: having to say okay, hold on you. When you lose
6:10
Speaker 1: your train of thought, when you tell people you were
6:12
Speaker 1: in the Senate one hundred and twenty years ago, this
6:15
Speaker 1: is not what this country needs from its leader of
6:19
Speaker 1: the free world. He talked about going back to filibuster
6:22
Speaker 1: of one hundred and twenty years ago when he was
6:23
Speaker 1: in office, said quote, we should go back to a
6:25
Speaker 1: position with the filibuster that existed when I came to
6:28
Speaker 1: the United States Senate one hundred and twenty years ago. Joe,
6:31
Speaker 1: you were not in the Senate one hundred and twenty
6:33
Speaker 1: years ago. And he didn't say it like it was
6:35
Speaker 1: a misstep. He said it like declaring it, folks. He
6:39
Speaker 1: said it like this is fact, absolute and utter fact,
6:44
Speaker 1: that he is the guy that Joe Biden was in
6:48
Speaker 1: the Senate one hundred and twenty years ago. And you
6:50
Speaker 1: know that one hundred and twenty years ago. I played
6:54
Speaker 1: it over and over again because I was shocked that
6:56
Speaker 1: the media didn't follow up on that or even mentioned
6:59
Speaker 1: or even excuse me, so you weren't in the senne
7:01
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty years ago. That's what a media should do.
7:03
Speaker 1: By the way, with regarding the filibuster, I believe we
7:07
Speaker 1: should go back to a position of the filibuster that
7:09
Speaker 1: existed just when I came to the United States Senate
7:11
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty years ago. There's no there's no
7:14
Speaker 1: stammering there. This is this is a very declarative sentence.
7:20
Speaker 1: Just when I came to the United States Senate one
7:22
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty years ago. We should have known and
7:26
Speaker 1: the media should have known that something was very wrong
7:28
Speaker 1: with Joe Biden. Now from reports they're coming out before
7:32
Speaker 1: this press conference even began, President Joe Biden. Not only
7:36
Speaker 1: did he appear to lose his train of thought throughout
7:38
Speaker 1: the entire press conference, trailing off and then abruptly changing
7:42
Speaker 1: the subject and then having to go back to his
7:43
Speaker 1: notes and having no idea where he is, but we
7:46
Speaker 1: have now been told by multiple reporters that earlier in
7:50
Speaker 1: the day, Joe Biden was asked by members of the
7:55
Speaker 1: media about the big press conference coming up. Listen to this.
8:00
Speaker 1: His first solo press conference as president. A few minutes ago.
8:03
Speaker 1: Somebody shouted out to him, how are you getting ready
8:06
Speaker 1: for the press conference? And he said, what press conference?
8:11
Speaker 1: What press conference? What press conference? This guy's supposed to
8:16
Speaker 1: be getting ready for the big press conference. The media
8:19
Speaker 1: yells at him, are you getting ready for? How are
8:22
Speaker 1: you getting ready for the press conference? His first press conference?
8:25
Speaker 1: And he not joking, not laughing, dead serious, looks at
8:28
Speaker 1: the media and stares them in the eyes and says, quote,
8:31
Speaker 1: what press conference. Of his first solo press conference as president.
8:36
Speaker 1: A few minutes ago, somebody shouted out to him, how
8:39
Speaker 1: are you getting ready for the press conference? And he said,
8:42
Speaker 1: what press conference? Not a joke, that was a real answer,
8:47
Speaker 1: like dead serious answer, what press conference? And that's before
8:52
Speaker 1: we even got to the press conference. So if you
8:55
Speaker 1: look at just some of the highlights of how bad
8:57
Speaker 1: it is, and again, I'm not making fun. This isn't
9:00
Speaker 1: a laughing matter. And that's the point I want to make.
9:02
Speaker 1: The easy, cheap shot is to mock the president for this,
9:05
Speaker 1: to make fun of him. I'm not doing that. I
9:07
Speaker 1: am telling you right now, this is not good for
9:10
Speaker 1: the national security of the United States of America. This
9:14
Speaker 1: guy waited longer than any other president a hundred years
9:16
Speaker 1: to hold his first press conference. We now know why.
9:18
Speaker 1: It's because he couldn't do it. And now our enemies
9:21
Speaker 1: know this. You start off by saying that you were
9:23
Speaker 1: in the Senate one hundred and twenty years ago. Before that.
9:25
Speaker 1: You start off by answering when the media asked you, Hey,
9:28
Speaker 1: how are you getting ready for the press conference? And
9:30
Speaker 1: he looks at he says, what press conference? This guy
9:34
Speaker 1: looks at the media and tells him that nothing has
9:37
Speaker 1: changed on the border regarding illegal immigration, nothing at all.
9:42
Speaker 1: Day sixty five of his presidency. He doesn't even know
9:44
Speaker 1: he's having a press conference. He filled it only ten
9:47
Speaker 1: questions from ten reporters that they gave him a picture
9:51
Speaker 1: book of who to call on and pictures of the
9:53
Speaker 1: reporter for a quote question answer session. In some cases,
9:58
Speaker 1: reporters were four to press Biden, particularly on the issues
10:03
Speaker 1: pretending to immigration crist at the border. He continued to
10:05
Speaker 1: say there was no crisis. He looked down at these
10:10
Speaker 1: preprepared notes, and he continued to echo the talking points
10:14
Speaker 1: that he said over and over again, accusing Republicans and
10:16
Speaker 1: pursuing voter suppression. Even one of the reporters, in a
10:22
Speaker 1: disgusting show of partisanship, characterized Biden as being quote decent
10:26
Speaker 1: and moral. Decent and moral has nothing to do with
10:32
Speaker 1: what changes at the border. That's PBS reporter said. The
10:35
Speaker 1: perception of you that you got elected as a moral
10:37
Speaker 1: and decent man's the reason that allowed the immigrants are
10:39
Speaker 1: coming to this country and trusting you with undecompany minors.
10:42
Speaker 1: How do you resolve the tension and how are you
10:44
Speaker 1: choosing which families can stand go? Biden dismissed the notion
10:49
Speaker 1: that immigrants are crossing the border because he's proceeded by them,
10:52
Speaker 1: is welcoming them compared to former Presidentald Trump. I guess
10:57
Speaker 1: they should be flattered. People are coming because I'm the
11:00
Speaker 1: nice guy that's the reason why it's happening is that
11:03
Speaker 1: I'm a decent man or whoever, however it's phrase, Biden said,
11:07
Speaker 1: that's why they're coming because Biden's a good guy. The
11:10
Speaker 1: truth is of the matter is nothing has changed. I
11:13
Speaker 1: guess I should be flattered because people are coming here,
11:15
Speaker 1: but nothing has changed. How do you even say those words,
11:21
Speaker 1: like everybody knows something has changed the border, Democrats agree,
11:24
Speaker 1: Republicans agree, independence degree, the numbers prove it. And then
11:30
Speaker 1: he looks at you straight in the face and said,
11:32
Speaker 1: nothing's changed. Biden waited not only longer than any other
11:37
Speaker 1: president in about one hundred years to hold his first
11:39
Speaker 1: news conference, but then he was also asked a question
11:41
Speaker 1: about transparency at the border, like when are you gonna
11:43
Speaker 1: let people in? You know how he responded. He responded,
11:46
Speaker 1: when I clean it up. That's when you'll get to
11:48
Speaker 1: see what's happening at the border, when I decide that
11:50
Speaker 1: the border is okay to look at. He also said
11:58
Speaker 1: something else that made no sense at all. Biden said
12:01
Speaker 1: that immigrants flooding our border, after saying nothing had changed,
12:04
Speaker 1: don't want to leave their home countries. Well, then why
12:07
Speaker 1: are they leaving their home countries to come to America.
12:09
Speaker 1: Take a listen. Well, no, treating the roots causes in
12:12
Speaker 1: Latin America doesn't change things overnight. How do you realistically
12:16
Speaker 1: and physically keep these families from coming to the US
12:20
Speaker 1: when things will not get better in their countries right away? Well,
12:25
Speaker 1: I can't guarantee that, but I know you know that
12:29
Speaker 1: old thing, the journey of a thousand miles starts with
12:31
Speaker 1: the first step. You know as well as I do.
12:34
Speaker 1: You're covering you have serious It's not like somebody sitting
12:39
Speaker 1: on a hand youn table on Guatemala, I mean somewhere
12:45
Speaker 1: in Mexico or in Guadalupe, said I got a great idea.
12:51
Speaker 1: Let's sell everything we have, give it to a coyote.
12:55
Speaker 1: Hadn't take our kids across the border into the desert
12:58
Speaker 1: where they don't speak the language. Won't that be fun?
13:01
Speaker 1: Let's go. That's not how it happens. People don't want
13:06
Speaker 1: to leave. When my great grandfather got in a coffin
13:10
Speaker 1: ship in the Irish Sea, expectation he was he going
13:14
Speaker 1: to live long enough on that ship to get to
13:17
Speaker 1: the United States of America. But they left because what
13:19
Speaker 1: the Brits had been doing. They're in real, real trouble.
13:23
Speaker 1: They didn't want to leave, but they had no choice.
13:28
Speaker 1: So you've got we can't I can't guarantee we're going
13:31
Speaker 1: to solve everything, but I can guarantee we can make
13:34
Speaker 1: everything better. We can make it better again, the answer
13:39
Speaker 1: that he just gave doesn't make any sense. He just
13:41
Speaker 1: said there's no problem at the border. Then he said
13:43
Speaker 1: they're flighting the border. Then he says the people they're
13:45
Speaker 1: funding the border don't want to leave their home countries. Well,
13:49
Speaker 1: then why are they fighting the border? But all of
13:54
Speaker 1: this goes back to the same, the same major problem,
13:58
Speaker 1: and that is, how on earth are we going to
14:00
Speaker 1: survive the next four years with this guy in charge
14:02
Speaker 1: when he's clearly not in charge. You know that the
14:07
Speaker 1: media was trying to cover for him last sight, saying
14:10
Speaker 1: there's no problems with him. You just look stupid saying
14:14
Speaker 1: that now you can cover for this guy all you
14:18
Speaker 1: want to. It doesn't mean that I'm not gonna I
14:21
Speaker 1: can't witness and hear with my own ears, of my
14:24
Speaker 1: own eyes, what happened yesterday. He said something else that
14:27
Speaker 1: was ridiculous. Yesterday he literally said Biden claimed that teachers
14:30
Speaker 1: and cops actually pay a higher tax rate than billionaires,
14:34
Speaker 1: and not a single member of the media said to him, sir,
14:36
Speaker 1: that's not true. Where's the proof. It's kind of amazing
14:40
Speaker 1: when the federal budget is saving people's lives, they don't
14:44
Speaker 1: think it's such a good idea. When the federal budget
14:48
Speaker 1: is feathering the nest of the wealthiest Americans, ninety of
14:52
Speaker 1: the fortune five hundred companies making billions of dollars not
14:55
Speaker 1: paying a cent in taxes, reducing taxes to the point
15:00
Speaker 1: that people who were making you know, if you're a
15:03
Speaker 1: husband and wife, school teacher and a cop, you're paying
15:07
Speaker 1: at a higher rate than the average person making a
15:10
Speaker 1: billion dollars a year. Is that's just a lie, It's
15:14
Speaker 1: not true. Do you think anybody in the media decide
15:17
Speaker 1: to fact check that or to even ask a follow
15:21
Speaker 1: up question about that. Nope, because they were just trying
15:26
Speaker 1: to help this guy get through the day. They were
15:28
Speaker 1: they were witnessing what all of us were witnessing, which
15:31
Speaker 1: was the brain sputtering out at the end of questions
15:34
Speaker 1: about filibusters after claiming he was in the Senate one
15:36
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty years ago. I have never been particularly
15:41
Speaker 1: poor at calculating how to get things done in the
15:43
Speaker 1: United States Senate. So the best way to get something
15:47
Speaker 1: done if you hold near and dear to you that
15:51
Speaker 1: you like to be able to anyway. We're ready to
15:59
Speaker 1: get a lot done. And if we have to, if
16:01
Speaker 1: there's complete lockdown and chaos is a consequence the filibuster,
16:06
Speaker 1: then we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about. Okay,
16:13
Speaker 1: hang on, sorry, oh sing man, Miss Kim. Nothing that
16:23
Speaker 1: you just heard was edited. That was a real time recording,
16:28
Speaker 1: and in forty one seconds what you just heard was quote.
16:32
Speaker 1: And in order to do that, and in fifties fifty senates,
16:35
Speaker 1: we've got to get to the place where I get
16:37
Speaker 1: fifty votes that the Vice President of the United States
16:39
Speaker 1: can break the tie, or I get fifty one votes
16:42
Speaker 1: without her. And so I'm going to say something outrageous.
16:47
Speaker 1: I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to
16:50
Speaker 1: get things done in the United States Senate. So the
16:53
Speaker 1: best way to get thing done if you hold near
16:55
Speaker 1: and dear to you that you like to be able
17:00
Speaker 1: to anyway. Period, We're going to get a lot done.
17:06
Speaker 1: And if we have to, if there's complete chaos, and
17:10
Speaker 1: the chaos as a consequence of the Philibus and then
17:13
Speaker 1: we'll have to go beyond what I'm talking about. That
17:16
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense, That is gibberish, It doesn't make
17:20
Speaker 1: any sense. And the Democrats saying he had a great
17:24
Speaker 1: press conference tonight, Oh yeah, he had a great press conference. Here.
17:28
Speaker 1: He knocked it out of the park. And we haven't
17:31
Speaker 1: even gotten to Jim the Eagle yet. Don't don't forget.
17:34
Speaker 1: We made up a new eagle which everyone had to
17:36
Speaker 1: go google. And so I'm convinced that we'll be able
17:40
Speaker 1: to stop this because it is the most pernicious thing.
17:43
Speaker 1: This makes Jim Crowe look like Jim Eagle. Men, this
17:47
Speaker 1: is gigantic what they're trying to do. By the way,
17:51
Speaker 1: no one knows what Jim Eagle is. Everybody googled it,
17:55
Speaker 1: of course, trying to figure out, like, did we miss something?
17:58
Speaker 1: Was this something that happened one hundred and twenty years
18:00
Speaker 1: ago in the US Senate when you were there, Joe
18:02
Speaker 1: to quote Joe Biden one hundred fifty years ago in
18:05
Speaker 1: the Senate joining me now to talk about this and
18:10
Speaker 1: the situation the border is US Senator Marsha Blackburn, Senator,
18:17
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on. I'm sure you've seen at
18:20
Speaker 1: least the highlights if you didn't watch the press conference.
18:22
Speaker 1: Since entirety, I say this, and I mean it when
18:25
Speaker 1: I say it. I don't care if it's Barack Obama
18:28
Speaker 1: being the president of Joe Biden. I never want my
18:31
Speaker 1: president to look weak or incompetent on the world stage.
18:35
Speaker 1: And this press conference that we watched when witness yesterday,
18:38
Speaker 1: the picture book that he was given to call on
18:41
Speaker 1: members of the press, which no one would ever allow
18:43
Speaker 1: for Donald Trump to get away with, the flash cards,
18:45
Speaker 1: the cheat sheets that he was given on certain subjects
18:48
Speaker 1: that we now have, the pictures of that he was
18:50
Speaker 1: holding there, the losing of his thoughts, the basic moments
18:53
Speaker 1: where he literally just didn't even know what he was
18:55
Speaker 1: saying when he was trying to answer questions. This should
18:58
Speaker 1: be concerning to every American, and not in a mean way,
19:02
Speaker 1: just in a reality that if you're a world leader
19:04
Speaker 1: and you watch this, you say, now is the time
19:06
Speaker 1: to go. If there's anything you want to challenge the
19:08
Speaker 1: US on, challenge them right now? Am I wrong? Well?
19:12
Speaker 1: I think that what the world is doing then is
19:16
Speaker 1: looking very closely at how Biden is going to governing
19:20
Speaker 1: and also what kind of control he has on the administration.
19:25
Speaker 1: Is he the one making the decisions or is it
19:28
Speaker 1: the team around him that is making the decisions. And
19:33
Speaker 1: what we saw in that press conference, which by the way,
19:36
Speaker 1: there's no president that has gone that long without doing
19:40
Speaker 1: a press conference, just as there is no president who
19:43
Speaker 1: has been as aggressive in signing executive orders. But what
19:47
Speaker 1: we saw was a president who seemed to have to
19:52
Speaker 1: be coached to get through the press conference with a
19:57
Speaker 1: different visual aids that would help him to call on
20:03
Speaker 1: people or to answer questions. And then I thought, you know,
20:07
Speaker 1: it was like he lost his place, and then he
20:10
Speaker 1: would kind of find his place, and then he would
20:12
Speaker 1: get back off his place again. It was not something
20:16
Speaker 1: that was encouraging to see from a standpoint of just
20:20
Speaker 1: power and showing power as a nation. That is the
20:25
Speaker 1: part that concerns me. And then the real question is
20:27
Speaker 1: who is running the country. But I now understand completely
20:32
Speaker 1: why he took so long to have this press conference.
20:34
Speaker 1: He took so long to have it because the team,
20:36
Speaker 1: I think, was obviously realizing he's not up for this
20:40
Speaker 1: press conference. How are you going to not be how?
20:42
Speaker 1: I mean, how do we now say that this guy
20:44
Speaker 1: can deal with all the problems that the world has,
20:46
Speaker 1: or all the threats to this country, if he can't
20:48
Speaker 1: even handle a basic press conference with a cheat sheet,
20:52
Speaker 1: with the picture book in front of him, of the
20:54
Speaker 1: people he's supposed to call on, and with so many
20:57
Speaker 1: basic questions not even being asked of him. I mean,
21:00
Speaker 1: when we're talking about major issues that were avoided. Reporters
21:05
Speaker 1: failed to ask Biden about COVID, They failed to ask
21:08
Speaker 1: him about reopening schools, They failed to ask him even
21:11
Speaker 1: about the Boulder shooting. They failed to ask him about Russia.
21:15
Speaker 1: And these are all the biggest issues that we're dealing
21:17
Speaker 1: with in this country and around the world, well as
21:20
Speaker 1: they are. You look at the Northern Triangle, and he
21:23
Speaker 1: fumbled that. You know, why didn't they ask him about
21:27
Speaker 1: China and delved into what is going on with China?
21:33
Speaker 1: And for goodness sakes, big Tech, who is trying to
21:36
Speaker 1: censor so many of us. You know, you're laying as
21:40
Speaker 1: those issues there then and you are spot on, and
21:44
Speaker 1: you look at what is happening with Russia, what is
21:46
Speaker 1: happening with China, what is happening with big Tech, what
21:50
Speaker 1: is happening here domestically with COVID, what is why are
21:55
Speaker 1: schools not being opened in some states? And why are
21:59
Speaker 1: teachers union still being allowed to keep these children out
22:03
Speaker 1: of school? Those are the things that people are asking
22:08
Speaker 1: about and are warning answers too. But you know, even
22:12
Speaker 1: though we got softball questions from some of those reporters
22:16
Speaker 1: and they were pre screened and pre selected, what did
22:20
Speaker 1: you see happened? You saw him fumble the questions that
22:25
Speaker 1: were pre screened, which I'm sure he had been coached on,
22:30
Speaker 1: and it was not a confidence building day for President
22:35
Speaker 1: Biden or for his administration. You know, you look at
22:39
Speaker 1: the Daily Mail and the Associated Press. They both actually
22:42
Speaker 1: have the same pretty much headline. One of them reads
22:45
Speaker 1: Joe's cheat sheets. Biden relied on fourteen point font prompted
22:51
Speaker 1: cards during his press conference, quitting one with the headshots
22:55
Speaker 1: of journalists he planned to call on and the ones
22:57
Speaker 1: not to call on. We've gotten some zoom in pictures
23:01
Speaker 1: of these cheat sheets and it says, you know, infrastructure,
23:04
Speaker 1: and it's got you know, a hashtag with China and
23:07
Speaker 1: then bridges and then roads and then the United States
23:10
Speaker 1: now ranked thirteen globally. I mean, this is this is
23:14
Speaker 1: what a kid in sixth grade tries to do if
23:16
Speaker 1: they're doing a class presentation on government, not a not
23:19
Speaker 1: the president knights. It's America, certainly, not somebody that's been
23:23
Speaker 1: quoting him. And I'm not trying to be mean, but
23:24
Speaker 1: what did you say has been it's been in the
23:26
Speaker 1: Senate one hundred and twenty years as his press conference,
23:29
Speaker 1: and no one even caught that one. Well, and I
23:34
Speaker 1: have to tell you there were so many big misses
23:37
Speaker 1: in this that it is frustrating. Pardon me, I know,
23:42
Speaker 1: for everybody to see. And Ben, we're living with this
23:45
Speaker 1: frustration every single day as we try to defend freedom
23:50
Speaker 1: and as we try to hold back what the Democrats
23:55
Speaker 1: are doing with taking away voting rights, taking away gun rights,
24:00
Speaker 1: defunding the police, running the numbers off the credit cards
24:05
Speaker 1: that they keep swiping like crazy. With a two trillion
24:09
Speaker 1: dollar bill, and now they're talking about an infrastructure bill
24:13
Speaker 1: that is a five trillion dollar bill. And here is
24:15
Speaker 1: one of the things, and I know you see it.
24:18
Speaker 1: I see it. Also they feel as if they can
24:21
Speaker 1: use other people's money to buy favor. And for him
24:26
Speaker 1: to say yesterday and I think this was really significant.
24:30
Speaker 1: He doesn't even know if there will be a Republican
24:33
Speaker 1: Party by twenty twenty four. This is their goal. They
24:38
Speaker 1: want to do a way with anybody who is in
24:42
Speaker 1: disagreement with them. This is the cancel culture writ large.
24:47
Speaker 1: This is their goal as they look at how they're
24:51
Speaker 1: going to radically transform the United States. So every single
24:58
Speaker 1: day we are in push each mode on them with
25:02
Speaker 1: this entire number of issues that we're dealing with. I
25:06
Speaker 1: got three things I want to ask you about that
25:08
Speaker 1: are totally different subjects. So we'll try to go through
25:10
Speaker 1: this because I want to make sure we get in
25:11
Speaker 1: the three big issues. Let's talk about executive action. Joe
25:15
Speaker 1: Biden and Harris have both called for mandatory buybacks of
25:19
Speaker 1: twenty million quote of salt weapons, and now we're talking
25:22
Speaker 1: about the President doing this through quote executive action, gun
25:26
Speaker 1: control through executive action. To put this in perspective, this
25:30
Speaker 1: buyback program they want to do in this country is
25:33
Speaker 1: the one they did in New Zealand, which is now
25:35
Speaker 1: the people in New Zealand are terrified because some of
25:37
Speaker 1: their guns were handed back over the government. Now they
25:39
Speaker 1: can't get them anymore. When you hear the president going
25:42
Speaker 1: possibly through executive action, what does that mean for everybody listening?
25:46
Speaker 1: Right now. Are they going to be able to do this?
25:48
Speaker 1: Is it constitutional? Is it legal? And how will we
25:50
Speaker 1: fight back? Well, first of all, you know they've gone
25:56
Speaker 1: after your free speech. And once they get your religious
26:00
Speaker 1: liberty gone and free speech gone, then they've got Second
26:05
Speaker 1: Amendment in the queue, and we know that's what they're
26:09
Speaker 1: trying to do. Now, what they're seeking to do through
26:12
Speaker 1: this buy back, No, I don't think that that will
26:15
Speaker 1: pass constitutional muster. And these are things that are going
26:20
Speaker 1: to end up in the courts, just like other provisions
26:24
Speaker 1: they're doing through executive order. God bless them of the
26:28
Speaker 1: state attorney generals. They're taking them to court, and that
26:32
Speaker 1: is what we need them to do. But we're pushing
26:37
Speaker 1: back on this every day in the Senate. We still
26:39
Speaker 1: have the filibuster. Joe Mansion and Kirsten Cinema are the
26:43
Speaker 1: two Democrats that are holding with us on the filibuster,
26:48
Speaker 1: and we are keeping the pressure on them. We have
26:53
Speaker 1: to have that sixty vote rule. Now. See, what they're
26:57
Speaker 1: trying to do is even get rid of them a
27:00
Speaker 1: buster so they can start to steamroll and turn this
27:04
Speaker 1: country into a socialist country with them in charge permanently forever.
27:10
Speaker 1: It would take us decades to pull ourselves back from
27:15
Speaker 1: their goals. It's it is absolutely that. I want to
27:19
Speaker 1: ask you another question, that's on the border issue that
27:22
Speaker 1: we're seeing in this in this in Sandy at the border. Yesterday,
27:25
Speaker 1: there was a video that went viral of a pro
27:27
Speaker 1: golfer in Texas that was going to the golf course
27:30
Speaker 1: who witnessed hundreds and hundreds of illegal immigrants being dumped
27:35
Speaker 1: on the street out of an eighteen wheeler right by
27:39
Speaker 1: the golf course where he was going to play. And
27:41
Speaker 1: it was a it was a very non political moment,
27:44
Speaker 1: and that's the reason why it went viral. It's a
27:47
Speaker 1: pro golfer that was not political, right, He's just in
27:50
Speaker 1: shock that he's witnessing this and and shocked how just
27:53
Speaker 1: blazing it was. It was here, we open up the
27:56
Speaker 1: back door and it was like an unlimited flow of
27:58
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants coming out back of an eighteen wheel or
28:01
Speaker 1: in Texas, and he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
28:03
Speaker 1: He posts on social media and people immediately started attacking
28:05
Speaker 1: him saying, oh, this is this is somehow racist, and
28:08
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm just showing you what I'm looking at.
28:11
Speaker 1: I'm not political I'm a golfer. I'm not a politician.
28:14
Speaker 1: I'm a golfer. But you're telling me you think it's
28:16
Speaker 1: okay for two, three, four or five hundred people to
28:18
Speaker 1: just come out of the back of an eighteen wheel
28:19
Speaker 1: or out of the streets in America. No COVID tests,
28:22
Speaker 1: no idea who these people are, no idea at their
28:25
Speaker 1: criminals are. And this is what's happening now at the border.
28:28
Speaker 1: And Joe Biden has said, we're not going to let
28:30
Speaker 1: cameras in. We're not gonna let you see anything. And
28:32
Speaker 1: he said this out loud at the press conference until
28:35
Speaker 1: I clean it up, until I get it where then
28:38
Speaker 1: I think it's okay for you to see it. Yeah,
28:41
Speaker 1: that was a standing and what an amazing moment in
28:45
Speaker 1: the press conference for him to say that in to
28:47
Speaker 1: admit he's not going to let people in. Look, this
28:50
Speaker 1: is why I went to the border last weekend in
28:53
Speaker 1: Arizona and went with two sheriffs and we went out
28:58
Speaker 1: on that border. This thing is totally out of control,
29:04
Speaker 1: totally out of control. Biden has broken the border. This
29:07
Speaker 1: is his open border policies, it's his immigration policy, and
29:12
Speaker 1: what they are doing. And let me tell you something.
29:14
Speaker 1: Then anybody that tells you that most of these migrants
29:19
Speaker 1: are being sent back, they're lying. It's a it's a lie.
29:25
Speaker 1: It is not true what they're doing. I walked the
29:29
Speaker 1: path that they walk in Arizona, coming through one of
29:33
Speaker 1: the Indian reservations that fronts the Mexico side and the uside.
29:39
Speaker 1: I went out there. These cartels are big business. They
29:42
Speaker 1: put people in cartel clothing. It's like a uniform, a backpack,
29:46
Speaker 1: a hat, purpet shoes. They put bracelets on them. If
29:51
Speaker 1: they have paid their cartel fee and you don't cross
29:54
Speaker 1: that border without going through a cartel, they put the bracelet.
30:00
Speaker 1: It on. It tells you if they've paid their fee
30:02
Speaker 1: or if they need to work for the cartel and
30:06
Speaker 1: work out their fee. And six thousand dollars to work
30:10
Speaker 1: out a fee is a lot and no telling quat
30:12
Speaker 1: it is. This is how people end up in gangs,
30:15
Speaker 1: labor work crews, sex trafficking rings, human trafficking rings. Book
30:21
Speaker 1: cause these people are being abused. Then well, the daily
30:26
Speaker 1: average revenue they say attributed to the human smuggling in February,
30:31
Speaker 1: the cartels that track these migrant workers in the US
30:35
Speaker 1: with these GPS wristbands forcing the pay off their debt.
30:38
Speaker 1: The number we're saying is the average revenue they believe
30:41
Speaker 1: attributed to smuggling was estimated at fourteen point six million
30:45
Speaker 1: a day in February alone. Right, that's exactly right. And
30:49
Speaker 1: see they make more money from trafficking people than drugs.
30:53
Speaker 1: But the Cineloa Cartel L Tropos Cartel is in charge
30:58
Speaker 1: of the Mexican side of the Arizona border. I went
31:02
Speaker 1: out in the mountains. They've got scouts up in the
31:05
Speaker 1: mountains are spies. They're surveilling our border patrol, our local
31:10
Speaker 1: law enforcement, and they're telling the coyotes that are running
31:15
Speaker 1: these groups on the ground where to go. Just like
31:19
Speaker 1: with all of this technology that they are using down
31:22
Speaker 1: there on the border, they were probably directing that guide
31:26
Speaker 1: driving the eighteen wheeler and say go here, there are
31:29
Speaker 1: no cops here. You can unload here, and then people
31:32
Speaker 1: can run. They call those bailouts when they pull up
31:37
Speaker 1: and the doors open, and then about thirty seconds everybody
31:41
Speaker 1: is gone. And you're right, what they are doing on
31:44
Speaker 1: this border where people can come in no COVID test.
31:49
Speaker 1: We don't know who they are. We do know that
31:52
Speaker 1: terrorists are coming in. We do know that people on
31:57
Speaker 1: the watch list are coming in. We do know that
32:01
Speaker 1: people from a lot of different countries are coming in.
32:05
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, before President Trump started getting that border
32:08
Speaker 1: wall up and beating up the surveillance on that border,
32:12
Speaker 1: what did you see? You saw people from over a
32:17
Speaker 1: hundred countries that came in. This is what we're dealing with.
32:23
Speaker 1: Last question, You and I saw each other at Seapack.
32:26
Speaker 1: I spoke at Seapack on social media and censorship. Within
32:30
Speaker 1: twelve hours of leaving Seapack, Yeah, thank you. Within twelve
32:35
Speaker 1: hours of leaving Seapack, my Facebook page with one point
32:39
Speaker 1: two million followers was shut down. It was obviously connected
32:43
Speaker 1: to making that speech at Seapack. I think everybody can
32:45
Speaker 1: connect the dots. Are we any closer, Senator to doing
32:50
Speaker 1: anything to actually stop big tech from being able to
32:53
Speaker 1: silence so many Americans, just like myself, just for even
32:58
Speaker 1: speaking out against them. Well, as you and I talked
33:02
Speaker 1: at Sea Pack, I was going for the top Republican
33:05
Speaker 1: slot on that Consumer Protection Committee that will oversee a
33:09
Speaker 1: lot of this and oversee the FTC. And I've been
33:13
Speaker 1: working with my Democrat counterpart. As I spoke at Sea
33:18
Speaker 1: pac on the free speech issue. When you look at
33:21
Speaker 1: the Virtual You Protection Agenda, which I am driving, you
33:25
Speaker 1: have to have online privacy legislation, online data security legislation.
33:30
Speaker 1: We are also working on Section to thirty reforms and
33:34
Speaker 1: anti trust and I do have a good bit of
33:39
Speaker 1: Democrats support on these issues. And Ben, what I'm going
33:44
Speaker 1: to do. Let's take it one thing at a time
33:46
Speaker 1: and start to get some things on the book. I
33:48
Speaker 1: have tried to do online privacy legislation since twenty twelve
33:53
Speaker 1: and have been fought and now finally after all these years,
33:57
Speaker 1: we're building by partisan support and I am determined to
34:02
Speaker 1: see this story. Senator, I do appreciate you coming on
34:05
Speaker 1: the podcast today, and a quick reminder to all of
34:07

34:15
Speaker 1: Tech and now we need you guys to share this
